While working alongside a fellow Gurkha, Rifleman Rai received a gunshot wound from enemy fire. He received medical treatment at the scene but died a short time later from his wounds.
Rifleman Yubrai Rai, aged 28, came from the Khotang district in eastern Nepal. Following in the footsteps of his uncle, he joined the British Army in January 1999. On completion of his recruit training, he joined the 2nd Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles in Brunei.
In 2000, Rifleman Rai was posted to D (Gurkha Reinforcement) Company, the 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment, where he served with distinction for two-and-a-half years. His soldiering skills were widely recognised and his career was characterised by a number of successful operational tours including to Iraq on Operation TELIC 1, Sierra Leone, Bosnia, and a previous tour in Afghanistan during Operation HERRICK 4.
Rifleman Rai was an avid sportsman who enjoyed all competition, but his real passion was for football, at which he represented B Company. This enthusiasm for the game extended to his support for Manchester United FC.
He was one of B Company's more senior Riflemen. He acted as a mentor for the younger men in the Company, often impressing them with his fitness and stamina. Most recently he was employed as the Company storeman, where his attention to detail, care to ensure that the men received the correct administrative support, and constant diligence were immensely respected.
He had been eager to deploy back to Afghanistan, his selfless attitude once again coming to the fore when he volunteered to deploy with 5 Platoon to replace another rifleman who had fallen ill.
Rifleman Rai supported his mother, sister and three brothers as the family's main earner. He will be missed dearly by his family and all who knew him.
"Yubraj Rai was an extraordinary character and a hard professional soldier with a proven operational record. Having served his time as a driving force in 5 Platoon, he moved to a supporting role in Musa Qaleh, but it was typical of the man that he volunteered for a place on the operation in Dagyan when another member of his Company fell ill, and a measure of his professionalism that he did it so seamlessly.
"Big, strong and highly experienced, Rfn Yubraj was one of the cornerstones of his Company and he was known throughout the Battalion for his presence, drive and his ability as a soldier. Part of a small and tight knit team he understood intuitively what needed to be done, how, when and by whom, and would move heaven and earth to ensure he got the support to his friends and comrades whatever the circumstances.
"Yubraj was a proud Nepali, a proud soldier and was exceptionally proud of being a Gurkha Rifleman. He knew the dangers involved in becoming a soldier and understood better than most what it meant to go to war; this was one of his greatest strengths. He died doing what he did best, amongst his greatest friends and admirers and for a cause he had taken the time to understand. He was brave, strong, hard and noble; he epitomised all that makes the Gurkhas great - the best. I was proud to have known him; he will not be forgotten."
"Rifleman Yubraj Rai was a stalwart of B Coy 2 RGR. After six years as a member of a Rifle Platoon he volunteered to become the Company's storeman, a job that requires great attention to detail and genuine concern for other soldiers. He was invariably the man working long hours to ensure that he could issue equipment in the best condition.
"Rifleman Yubraj was a quiet man who I will always remember politely entering my office with a pile of forms requiring signatures. Once he got them he would smile shyly and walk purposefully away from the office. Not once in my year with B Company can I remember a bad word said against him. He was held in genuine affection by all.
"Rifleman Yubraj died as he lived his life, selflessly and with great humility. After deployment to Musa Qaleh he volunteered to be a member of 5 Platoon, a job that involved frequent patrolling in dangerous areas. He chose this role when he could have easily avoided being so close to the action. This willingness to do the hard graft and share danger was his hallmark.
"The death of Rifleman Yubraj is a great sadness and one that will not pass easily. He was a fine man and I miss him already."
"Rifleman Yubraj was one of the Company's most dedicated men. He was completely trustworthy and reliable. He consistently set the example and he died in battle doing his job. It is a tragedy that he is not amongst us now, and he will be sorely missed by the whole Company."
"Rifleman Yubraj volunteered to return to 5 Platoon after three years as the B Company storeman. He was a trusted and well respected member of the platoon. He was liked by all, cheerful and always smiling cheekily. He was a great friend to all those who he worked with. He was an excellent soldier, uncomplaining and professional in all he did. He died at the front doing the job he loved, acting with bravery and courage. He will be sorely missed by all those who knew him."
"Rifleman Yubraj was a truly outstanding Rifleman with an extraordinary personality. As the most senior Rifleman he never failed to set the example to the other Riflemen. He loved his job and performed extremely well in every aspect of it. He was highly respected by everyone in the company. His death will be felt by all of us, but the memory of his life will never fade. I extend my most heartfelt condolences to his family and pray that his soul may rest in peace in heaven; he will always remain in our hearts."
"Dear friend Yubraj, you are our best friend, we will never forget you. We used to go everywhere with you. We shared our thoughts no matter how difficult the days were. We are proud to have been your friend, you are the one who inspired us to be brave men like you. You were a really honest, punctual and gentle person. You know that we used to play football, basketball and swim together; you were a really good competitor. We always used to admire your playing style, which was fantastic. We will remember the day that we all spent the whole night talking about our futures, but you broke your promise, you have left us forever. But we are proud of you and what you did for us, your family and for the Queen. Thank you for being our very best friend, we will always remember you."

Power Creator Courtney Kemp Unpacks That Fiery Death
By Malcolm VenableJan 5, 2020 9:01 PM EST
100 Best Shows: Power Cast Says Thank You to Fans
Chicago P.D.'s Jesse Lee Soffer Plays Would You Rather
[Warning: The following contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 11 of Power, "Still Dre." Read at your own risk!]
One down, six to go on Power: One of the seven suspects in Ghost's (Omari Hardwick) shooting has died. The Starz drama returned on Sunday with the first of its final five episodes, "Still Dre," a detour from Power's usual format that suggested the show will keep fans guessing until the very end.
While the episode did eliminate one suspect, answers about who shot Ghost don't seem to be coming anytime soon, and series creator Courtney Kemp would not confirm whether the news report in this episode announcing James St. Patrick's death is accurate. "That is a TV report saying he's dead," Kemp told TV Guide via phone. "But I would say we promised the audience he'd be dead or in jail a long time ago. So, it's one of those."
What we do know is this: As Kemp alluded to in previous interviews with TV Guide, Power will reveal who shot Ghost by showing how the night of his shooting unfolded from varying points of view, like in the classic 1950 film Rashomon. "Still Dre" started the countdown clock from the perspective of Dre (Rotimi), James St. Patrick's onetime protégé-turned-enemy, who, by the night of Ghost's murder, had both ample incentive to kill his former friend and ample incentive to get out of town.
Rotimi, Shane Johnson, PowerPhoto: Starz
The poignant, poetic, and, at the outset, perplexing episode begins with Dre singing to his daughter Heaven, cocooned in an apartment with his baby's mother, dreaming about another life. Like his mentor, Dre is, at least for a while, torn between becoming the next big kingpin of New York and starting life anew. Several confounding minutes go by before we realize that this scene is not a continuation of Ghost's shooting but an alternate view of it, as a TV news reporter mentions that James St. Patrick has been announced as a candidate for lieutenant governor. From there, the episode delivers more glimpses of what Dre experienced in the hours leading up to the eve of Ghost's shooting, including heart-wrenching confrontations between Dre and his devoutly Christian mom and Dre's desperate, last-minute plea for Ghost's money from inside Ghost's office — which audiences previously saw from Ghost's point of view.
Need Starz? Get it here
In the end, all of Dre's choices catch up with him in the worst way. Though his lady has begged him to leave town and Rashad Tate (Larenz Tate) has given him everything he needs to leave, Dre chooses to go back to Truth and shoot Ghost — only to find out somebody beat him to it. That costs him everything. He lands back in prison, where he sees his daughter in the arms of the mother he'd forsaken, just before 2 Bit (Michael J. Ferguson) and Spanky (Omar Scroggins) give the professional scumbag a most poetic death: a roasting inside his own cell via gasoline-soaked towels, engulfing him in the very flames his mother knew he'd one day meet.
Though the episode is packed with Biblical references — both Dre and his mom quote the Bible, and the fate Dre faces for turning back when he could have gotten away evokes the story of Lot's wife in Genesis -- Kemp said the inspiration for Dre's death comes from pop culture. "I think the way we killed Dre is really based on Heat," she said. In the 1995 film, Robert De Niro's character, Neil McCauley, has the opportunity to leave town but, like Dre, turns back to settle one last score one last time. "He dies because of that choice — he had the opportunity to go forward, but he goes back," Kemp explained. "You reap what you sow."

— Power (@Power_STARZ) December 30, 2019
So where does Power go from here? Kemp remains mum on many of the big questions, including when and how fans will find out who shot Ghost and what to make of that head-scratching shootout in the previous episode that put Tommy (Joseph Sikora) and Ghost momentarily on the same team again. She did, however, reveal that the next episode will not center on the character viewers might expect. In "Still Dre," Dre spots Tommy outside Truth, but he vanishes just as quickly as Dre sees him. "Episode 612 is not about Tommy," Kemp teased.
Power airs Sundays at 8/7c on Starz.

If you have personal or household waste you wish to dispose of or recycle, this link will take you to the Essex County Council information page.
Sandy Lane, Sudbury CO10 7HG - see here for directions.
In order to combat a problem of business waste left illegally at recycling centres, the Braintree centre has placed strict limits on the amount of DIY and construction waste that it will accept. People delivering waste in vans and pick-ups will be put under scrutiny, and those identified as bringing in waste from any kind of business activity will be refused entry and the owners may be liable for prosecution.
DIY and construction waste is deemed as any material that is the result of construction and demolition work to a home or garden. There is no duty on local authorities to accept or dispose of DIY and construction waste from residential properties. Although centres are required to accept all household waste, this is a defined term under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Controlled Waste Regulations 2012 and does not include all waste types generated by a household.
Residents who are unsure about whether to take waste to a recycling centre, or whether they will need to rent a skip for larger home improvement projects , should check the Recycle for Essex website.

Q: Random Number in Fortran I am learning Fortran and I would like to make a little game to practice the input. The objective is to find the good number, who is a random one. I made a code to generate the number but my problem is that, the result is a random number, but it's always the same.
For example, when I execute the code 3 times, it print 21 the three times.
Here is my code :
program find_good_number
    integer :: random_number
    integer :: seed
    seed = 123456789
    call srand(seed)
    random_number = int(rand(0)*100)
    print*, random_number
end program find_good_number

Can you help me please ?
Thanks

A: Using GNU Fortran 10.3 with the standard intrinsics, and asking the Fortran runtime library to peek the seed, it seems that every invocation of the program does result in a different serie of random numbers. So that would be OK for the sort of application you have in mind.
Using this code:
Program TestRandom1

  implicit none

  integer :: randomSeedSize
  integer :: count = 3
  integer :: k     = 0
  real    :: rx    = 0.0

  call random_seed(size = randomSeedSize)
  write (*,'(a,i4)')   'size of random seed (in integers): ',  &
                       randomSeedSize

  call random_seed()  ! use system-provided seed

  do k = 1, count
      call random_number(rx)
      write (*, '(a,f10.8)') 'rx = ', rx
  end do

End Program TestRandom1

A regioselective synthetic protocol is developed via tetrabromination of perylenemonoimide (PMI) which leads to a series of PMI derivatives. The push–pull characteristics of these derivatives are established by spectroscopic and theoretical investigations. Finally, the semiconducting properties of the PMI dyes are utilized for the development of a switchable memory device.


A vintage cute pink ceramic planter, made in Japan. If you twist the clown the planter plays the tune "Bring on the clowns". The planter is in great condition except for a little stress fracture on the back of the planter on the D block which can be seen on the pics. It is at the back of the planter, so can't be seen when displayed but please enlarge the pictures to have a proper look. The planter is marked "Japan" on the bottom and measures approximately 9" high, 8" wide and 3.5" deep.

Miau is a classical bouncer / proxy for IRC.
Instead of a direct connection with your prefered IRC Client, miau is used as a proxy between the IRC server and your client.
with any editor of your coice.
The password is very important. You will have to set it unless miau wouldn't start. At the same time it is the password you will need when connecting to your bouncer.
Here, you can specify the IRC server miau should connect to.
Here are the channels miau will join after the connect.
You can find a description of all settings in detail at this location.
After configuration and a manual start of miau you should be able to connect to the service.
Alternatively, you can create a new server in the list of your IRC client to connect to miau automatically.
This will depend on your IRC client.


The Diploma Programme SL world religions course is a new course that was launched in September 2011. It is a systematic, analytical yet empathetic study of the variety of beliefs and practices encountered in nine main religions of the world. The course seeks to promote an awareness of religious issues in the contemporary world by requiring the study of a diverse range of religions. In the context of the mission statement of the IB it is most appropriate to study a number of living world religions in a scholarly, open-minded and objective way.
The religions should be studied in such a way that students acquire a sense of what it is like to belong to a particular religion and how that influences the way in which the followers of that religion understand the world, act in it, and relate and respond to others.
The course consists of an introductory unit, exploring five of the nine living world religions that form the basis of the syllabus. This is complemented by an in-depth study of two religions chosen from six world religions. This part of the syllabus is guided by themes, key concepts and key questions. The final component is the investigative study, which provides opportunities for individual research of an aspect of the religious experience, practice or belief of a group and/or individual adherents.
In the study of world religions, the experiential dimension to learning is of great importance, and it is hoped that the course will be a catalyst for visits to and from members of different faith communities. Where this is not possible, imaginative teaching, combined with the use of a range of resources, should enable the students to come to know what it means to be a follower of a particular religion.
promote responsible and informed international citizenship.
The following three questions underpin the study of all world religions.
The syllabus specification focuses on core beliefs, but these should not be seen to exclude or restrict the diversity of beliefs and practices that are present within religions.
Students should be introduced to a range of world religions reflecting different traditions, beliefs and practices. Five religions must be selected, at least one from each of the three columns (approximate teaching time is 50 hours, that is, 10 hours for each religion).
beliefs, both locally and globally, with the aim of enhancing international and inter-religious understanding.

Facebook Recruits Street Troops To Grow in Germany
Facebook may be the world's largest and fastest growing social network, but apparently Germany remains a tough market to crack for the company. The site is just ranked 19th on Alexa's Top 100 list for this country, ten positions behind StudiVZ, its local clone. While Facebook currently has a German user base of 800,000 (according to the site's ad placement tool), StudiVZ boasts a membership of over 10 million, making it the largest social network in the German-speaking world. Facebook has been available in German since March of this year and reportedly grew by just 200,000 members since then. Comscore numbers suggest that number might be higher (see below).
Even assuming StudiVZ doesn't get anymore new users, it would take Facebook over 20 years to catch up at this rate of growth. In Germany (where I hail from), organic growth doesn't seem to be an option for the company and it seems Facebook understood that reality: After taking action in July (when StudiVZ was sued for infringing Facebook's "look, feel, features and services"), Facebook is now taking another (quite unusual) stab at its clone by partnering up with Smaboo, a Zurich-based promotion agency.
On its web site, Smaboo is currently calling for so-called Facebook "ambassadors" who will help organize Facebook parties in Berlin and Munich. In October, the first 200 German ambassadors will be invited to a kickoff event and later engage in a "Berlin vs. Munich battle" to decide which city rules by recruiting more new Facebook members. (The German capital has a population of 3.5 million, while there are about 1.35 million inhabitants in Munich). Smaboo says ambassadors can win non-cash prizes such as iPhones, Wiis or an internship at Facebook's HQ in Palo Alto. All they need to do is rate their determination to recommend a Facebook membership to their friends on a scale from 1 to 10 and state what they like about the site. Smaboo claims in the company blog it's the first time Facebook is running a campaign of this kind.
What's almost as noteworthy as the campaign itself is that this user-acquisition strategy is actually a clone of the one StudiVZ pursued during its early days: In 2005/2006, StudiVZ identified particularly enthusiastic users on their site and recruited them as so-called campus captains (StudiVZ means "university student directory" in German), evangelists who actively approached fellow university students to get them to sign up.
Although both the Facebook and StudiVZ initiatives are based on the idea of human-powered and offline viral growth, there are a number of differences: The German site never revealed the exact number of campus captains but said they never received any kind of payment for their work (apart from StudiVZ swag). In addition, Facebook's ambassador program has an artifical flavor to it, with an outside party running a professionally organized campaign. Also, in the course of imitating Facebook's success story, StudiVZ limited its platform population strategy to universities before opening up to the general public at a later time (Smaboo asks for the name of the university the applicants attend but doesn't verify the given information at the time of submission).
Facebook saw its number of unique visitors in Germany jump from 545,000 last March to 1.8 million in August this year (a 224 percent increase, according to comScore). During that same time period, StudiVZ grew from 6.5million uniques to 13.7 million (a 110 percent increase). Facebook still trails far behind. Will this locally limited experiment (which might be repeated in other cities and even countries) lead to a significant jump in Facebook's German user base in the months to come?


Week 3 | Whole Food. Real Food. Good Food.
Week 3: We switched from Canola Oil to Coconut Oil & Olive Oil. We switched from butter to Ghee.
One of the "good fats," which makes up about 50 percent of coconut oil, is lauric acid. Lauric acid is a rare medium-chain fatty acid found in mother's milk. It is now being shown to have anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial, health-protecting properties. Some researchers predict that lauric acid will one day become as well known in health circles as omega-3 is today. As studies reveal the downsides of consuming too many omega-6 vegetable oils with their saturated fatty acids, coconut oil is making a comeback.
Benefits of coconut oil: Strengthens immune system; boosts key mineral absorption (calcium and magnesium); anti-fungal and antibacterial; provides long lasting energy; great for skin and hair (internally and topically); reduces risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease; reduces risk of cancer and other degenerative conditions; helps control diabetes; improves digestion and nutrient absorption; supplies important nutrients necessary for good health; promotes weight loss; functions as a protective antioxidant; healthiest oil for cooking.
Coconut oil is obtained from a coconut. Canola oil comes from the rapeseed plant, but wild rapeseed contains erucic acid, which is toxic. Rapeseed oil was so toxic that the FDA banned it for human consumption in 1956. So when Canadian growers bred a new variety of rapeseed in the 1970s with a lower content of the toxic erucic acid, they decided they needed a new name for it. The term canola was coined from "Canadian oil, low acid" to convince consumers that this oil was safe to eat. Over-consumption of oils like canola cause an abundance of Omega 6 fatty acids — this imbalance increases the risk of inflammation, heart disease, obesity, and prostate and bone cancer. – Information Provided by Natural News.
Vegetable and seed oils, like corn oil, are predominately linoleic acid, which is an omega-6 fatty acid that easily turns rancid. If you have too much omega-6 in your diet, you develop chronic, systemic inflammation.
I first used coconut oil to make my husband his fried eggs. He didn't notice a difference until I told him — he then said he tasted a faint hint of coconut. I use it in all of my baked goods and cannot tell a difference. It comes in solid form and will melt very quickly on the stovetop or microwave when needed for a recipe. When using it for baking, eyeball the correct amount and place into glass measuring cup. Place the measuring cup in the microwave until melted, add or remove oil as necessary. If removing oil from the measuring cup, you can pour it back into your coconut oil container, it will harden back up.
Here are some great tips on using coconut oil.
We also use olive oil. New research suggests that virgin and extra-virgin olive oils that are not chemically processed contain antioxidants called polyphenols (also found in red wine and green tea). Polyphenols mop up free radicals before they can oxidize LDL (oxidation makes LDL even more damaging to arteries).
Not all olive oil is created equal! Many olive oils are cut with cheaper oils, such as hazelnut and sunflower seed. When shopping for olive oil, certain characteristics of labeling and bottling suggest (though they don't guarantee) high quality: a harvest date (as opposed to a meaningless "best by" date), a specific place of production and producer, mention of the cultivar of olives used, dark glass bottles (light degrades olive oil), a D.O.P. seal on European oils, and a California Olive Oil Council seal on oil made in the U.S. Read more here.
Fortunately, there are a number of simple ways to determine if you have purchased fake olive oil.
Look for the International Olive Council (IOC) label of authenticity. Imported olive oils that bear official IOC labels of authenticity generally undergo strict quality control testing.
Buy local. US growers and manufacturers are often held to stricter standards than companies that export to the United States. The California Olive Oil Council (COOC) seal is a good one to look for.
Refrigerate your olive oil. If authentic, olive oil will thicken and become cloudy.
See if your olive oil is flammable. Real olive oil is flammable. Try putting it in a fireproof pan and lighting it with a match. If your olive oil does not burn, it is most likely not real.
Check to see if it bears the Non-GMO Project seal. The Non-GMO Project rigorously evaluates companies before verifying their products. Look for your favorite brands here.
We put Extra Virgin Olive Oil in our Misto Stainless Steel Olive Oil Sprayer in place of our Pam cooking spray. It is great to spray on veggies when roasting them in the oven.
When heating fats, the smoke point needs to be taken into consideration, because a fat is no longer good for consumption after it has exceeded its smoke point and has begun to break down. It is believed that fats that have gone past their smoke points contain a large quantity of free radicals which contribute to risk of cancer. Refining oils (taking out impurities) tends to increase the smoke point. Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a ballpark smoke point of 325°F – 375°F, depending on the quality of the oil. Thus, we do not raise the temperature past 325°F when using extra virgin olive oil. Avocado oil has a ballpark smoke point of 520°F and is similar in composition to olive oil, which makes it a great choice for this dishes cooked above 325°F.
We switched from butter to Ghee.
Ghee, also known as clarified butter, is made by a simple process of gently simmering butter to remove potential allergens such as casein and lactose. What remains is the pure butter oil, which promotes good helath and longevity. Ghee is a natural source of CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) and the important fat-soluble vitamins A,D and K2 that are critical for maintaining good health. CLA slows the progress of some types of cancer and heart disease and appears to help reduce body fat and increase lean muscle mass. We use Grassfed Organic Ghee. The only ingredient is 100% Organic Butter.
Doesn't burn easily. Butter quickly scorches at high temperatures due to its milk solids but ghee can withstand high temperatures. Ghee is stable at higher cooking temperatures, with a smoke point at 485 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes it ideal for cooking, frying or sautéing.
Longer shelf life (6-8 months). Ghee can be stored for a long period of time, longer than butter can, and it doesn't need to be refrigerated when it is stored.
Allergies. Ghee is lactose-free because all of the milk solids are skimmed from it, which makes it suitable for lactose intolerant people who cannot use butter.
There are many people who believe that ghee stimulates the digestive system and actually causes people to lose weight just by eating it.
Ghee is a better choice of fat than butter and other saturated fats because it has a distinctive healing property not found in other fats. According to the Ayurveda tradition, ghee enhances the ojas, an essence that governs the tissues of the body and balances the hormones. Sufficient ojas in the body ensures a strong mind and body and resistance against disease, and is essential for longevity. The healing benefits of ghee are so high that Ayurveda deems it to be a pre-eminent healing food that helps in overall health and well-being.
When I first introduced ghee into our kitchen, I used it on toast, held my breath and hoped no one noticed. They didn't! I then started using it in place of butter for everything. We use it to grease the pan for pancakes, use it in baked goods, use it to cook veggies on the stove and anywhere else we normally would have used butter. It is very convenient because it is always soft and does not need to be refrigerated, so we always have soft butter when we need it.
Both margarine and butter have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats, at 8 grams compared to 5 grams. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a Harvard Medical School study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. Butter has many nutritional benefits, where margarine has a only few, because they are added. Butter tastes much better than margarine, and it can enhance the flavors of other foods. Butter has been around for centuries, where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.


Palm-shaded courtyards and Spanish-style haciendas create the perfect climate for relaxation. Soak up the sun or splash in a pool that's designed as an archeological dig site with a five-story Mayan pyramid. The Coronado Springs Resort features colorful plazas and picturesque vistas reflecting the beauty of Mexico and the American Southwest.

This was a first birthday photo at Brooksby Farm and it was such a lucky photo. It was all about the right time and placement of the subject. The mom dressed the little girl in pearls and a tutu and wanted her to look like a little princess. I had photographed her at different angles and something wasn't quiet what I wanted. I ended up getting down on the ground and looking at her not from above but from her level. What resulted was the horse from the barn coming out and adding to my photos. Without the horse this photo would not be what it is. It would just be a pretty girl sitting on a grassy fieldw with a fence behind her. The sun adds a little element of flare and dramatic effect. The horse makes the photo complete. It now looks like a princess waiting for her carriage which is what I was going for. I took this photo so long ago but it's one of my favorite photos. This was her first birthday and she was ready for a party... or a ball.
I didn't need to ask to rent the horse or do anything other than just wait.
What makes this photo work is the location. Brooksby Farm is a great location with so many animals and backdrops.

In a few months, you'll be headed to Cancun, Mexico for a relaxing and well-deserved vacation from your hectic life (thank goodness).
Now, all that remains is finding a place to stay.
You very well could find a cute, but low-key AirBnB, or maybe just a standard hotel. You'll probably enjoy your week no matter what, so it doesn't really matter where you stay right?
Or, you could just go all out and book a stay at the El Dorado Royale.
After all, you deserve more than just your run-of-the-mill hotel room!
What you deserve is a few days of all-inclusive, luxury relaxation, whether you are heading there alone or with your loved one.
What Is the El Dorado Royale?
What Makes This Resort so Special?
The El Dorado Royale is a Five Star gourmet, all-inclusive resort and spa in the heart of Riviera Maya.
It's one of Condé Nast Reader's Top 100 Hotels in the World and one of AAA's Four Diamond Resorts. Plus, it's adults-only to ensure you get maximum peace and relaxation in along one of the most gorgeous beachfronts in the world.
The resort is nestled in 450 acres of tropical jungle, with lush fauna and palm trees that you can see all around you. The El Dorado Royle also has exclusive beachfront for an entire mile along Punta Brava Beach.
The resort is located about 25 minutes south of the Cancun International Airport and about 15 minutes north of Playa del Carmen. And within about 30 minutes from the hotel, you can find yourself at some world-class golf courses, gorgeous natural cenotes, and downtown Cancun.
It's at a perfect location if you want to be able to relax at the beach, trek through the jungle, or bar hop to find the best margarita in all of Cancun.
Admittedly, there are a ton of beautiful resorts located in this area of Mexico.
So why should you stay at the El Dorado Royale instead of another resort in Riviera Maya?
Well, this resort and spa has endless amenities, but, more importantly, it has some of the best guest reviews and has been acknowledged by a handful of publications as being one of the best hotels in Mexico, if not in the world.
The resort has over six different types of suites to accommodate both your taste and your budget, including suites with Jacuzzis, swim-up suites, beachfront suites, and honeymoon suites.
Most of these rooms have (at the very least), cushy king size beds, Jacuzzi tubs, glass-enclosed showers, and a private terrace or balcony.
The swim-up suites are particularly incredible because you can step right into the main pool from the patio of your room.
The higher-level suites have amenities like aromatherapy menus, pillow menus, food and champagne upon arrival (for you honeymooners), a liquor cabinet, and house wine.
The specifics will all depend on which suite option you choose, but the point is that you have tons of options. And the "lower-level" suites are hardly low-level. All of these rooms are completely luxurious and indulgent.
The El Dorado Royale is also home to the Náay Spa.
The spa offers a variety of detoxifying treatments, deep relaxation options and beautifying services.
Located in the center of the resort, the spa boasts elegant and soothing architecture to help you leave behind all of your worries and allow yourself an afternoon or an entire day of tranquility.
It also has four different signature treatments: the Water Journey Ritual, the Ancient Náay Ritual, the Beachfront Sky Massage, and Wedding Rituals – all of which offer different methods of helping you achieve maximum stress-relief and healing.
But, you can more or less customize your entire spa experience thanks to its extensive service menu.
Seriously – we didn't even know there were so many ways to relax.
Ok, the number of restaurants at this place is insane.
You certainly won't starve when you stay at the El Dorado Royale.
Maybe we miscounted, but we're pretty sure that there are 20 different, bars, restaurants and cafés at the resort, with everything from Italian food to a health bar, traditional Mexican cuisine to sushi.
It's on the verge of being overwhelming, but we'd file that under the "good problems" category.
No matter what you like to eat or drink, there is something at the El Dorado that you will love. It's perfect for solo dinners, cocktail hours, romantic dinner dates, and relaxing poolside lunches.
It also is home to the Fuentes-Culinary Theatre, where you get to experience a full-blown cooking show under a beautiful palapa. The head chef and sommelier at the resort work on the spot to give you a five-course meal paired with a selection of premium wines, using ingredients from the resort's hydroponic greenhouse.
The El Dorado Royale has not one, not two, but 12 swimming pools.
Yes, 12 different pools in which you can swim and sit in a lounge chair to work on your summer glow. One of these pools is also a natural saltwater pool.
And, as we said, four of these pools have swim-up bars where you can enjoy both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
In addition to swimming in one of the 12 pools, the resort has a wide range of other activities that are included in your stay – for both the active guest and the guest that really wants to indulge their chill side.
If you are looking to get in some exercise and physical activity as part of your vacation rejuvenation, you can visit the resort's fitness center, tennis courts (rackets and balls are free of charge), or ride one of the bicycles provided by the resort around the premises.
For an additional cost, you can also embark on scuba diving adventures, parasail, or do some deep-sea fishing. Or maybe you want to take some private or group lessons of some sort.
But if you don't want to spend a minute of your stay working out and riding a bicycle, don't fret. You can opt to sit in the fitness center's sauna or steam room before you head to the nightly live music and show later that evening.
That's all of the fun stuff. But the El Dorado Royale also has some for practical amenities that will make your stay in Mexico go very smoothly.
You can reap the benefits of the free international calls and complimentary Wi-Fi, as well as some other amenities that do incur an additional cost, but the convenience makes it so worth it.
The resort has a car rental service, a money exchange, laundry service, and a U.S. Dollar ATM. There is also a business center and fax services available for use.
Finally, the resort provides 24-hour medical services for all guests (which hopefully you won't have to use, but it's there if you need it!).
True, these aren't the most exciting amenities that the resort has to offer. But they are still important! These little things make your vacation a lot less worry-free. All the logistics are provided for you, so you can sit back and take a breather.
All of these amenities, activities and meal options are absolutely wonderful. But none of it would feel all that great if the service at the hotel wasn't up to par.
But, the El Dorado Royale is known for its excellent service, which is backed up by excellent guest reviews and kudos from a number of reputable publications and expert travel companies.
A quick glance at TripAdvisor shows that the hotel has tons of amazing guest reviews. So many, in fact, it was awarded the 2017 TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Award and Certificate of Excellence.
What makes the resort truly admirable is its commitment to sustainability.
The El Dorado Royale (and all El Dorado spa resorts) has created a number of green initiatives to ensure that their expansive resorts leave behind a minimal carbon footprint and promotes ecotourism.
The properties have surpassed the criteria for the Green Globe Certification program. The resorts use energy-saving air conditioners and solar-powered water heating systems. They also have water and heat recycling systems.
Finally, El Dorado Resorts have created the world's largest artificial reef to protect the coast from erosion and provide a habitat for thousands of species. And, the resort has implemented a sea turtle conservation program to combat the sharp decrease in sea turtle populations.
There are "Turtle Conservation Camps" and a sea turtle adoption program in place to help save the species from overfishing, human development, and the deterioration of coastal ecosystems.
We do admit that you will probably enjoy your trip to the Riviera Maya in Mexico no matter what. How could you not with the gorgeous tropical landscape, enthralling nightlife, and adventurous activities?
But if you book at the El Dorado Royale resort and spa, your vacation will be completely unforgettable.
With all of the incredible amenities, experiences, and sustainability efforts, you can have a relaxing and adventurous stay while feeling good about protecting our planet in small ways that make a big difference.
The only risk is that if you stay at the El Dorado Royale once, then you are almost guaranteed to have to go back.

[Vandal] Questions On Idaho's Depth Chart For Week 2

Questions On Idaho's Depth Chart For Week 2
Two Idaho starters who sustained injuries during the Vandal football team's 28-21 season-opening win Saturday against Eastern Washington are "still pending," Idaho coach Paul Petrino said.
Speedster receiver/return man Jermaine Jackson went down with an apparent leg injury early in the second quarter after an EWU tackler fell on him. He was helped off the field, visibly frustrated, then later could be seen on crutches on the Idaho sideline.
Jackson (5-foot-7, 165 pounds) remains listed as a starting "X" receiver on Idaho's depth chart ahead of its game this Saturday against UC Davis, which will kick off at noon at the Kibbie Dome.
The College of San Mateo (Calif.) transfer was highlighted throughout spring camp for his elusiveness and endurance.
Pass-catchers Hayden Hatten and Cutrell Haywood were efficient enough to compensate for the loss of a starting receiver, combining for 208 yards and two scores on 10 receptions.
Midway through the first quarter, center Chad Bagwell — a Sierra College (Calif.) transfer who Vandal coaches have pointed to as one of the team's best newcomers — appeared to suffer a lower-body injury as well.
After a visit to the locker room, he watched the rest of the game from the sideline in street clothes. The 6-6, 298-pounder still sits atop Idaho's depth chart.
"Right now, we don't know on those guys," Petrino said. "... Hopefully, we'll know better as the week goes on.
"It's hard anytime you see one of your buddies that's worked so hard and grinded, and sacrificed everything they can to play, and they get injured," Petrino added during his weekly coach's show. "But they did a good job moving forward and continued to grind, and play hard for their teammates."
The eighth-year coach liked what he saw in relief duty from true freshman Greyson Harwood, a 6-3, 275-pounder out of Rupert, Idaho. If Bagwell isn't ready to go, the Minico High School product likely will get the nod.
"I was proud of him," Petrino said. "He battled and competed. For a true freshman to get stuck in there and have to play against a top team in the country, I thought he did a heckuva job."Star middle linebacker Tre Walker, who also carried the ball five times for 27 yards, was absent for most of a quarter against EWU with muscle cramps. Other standout linebackers Fa'avae Fa'avae and Charles Akanno missed lengthy stretches too, but returned to help spearhead a solid showing from Idaho's defense against a potent Eagle attack that finished 2019 as the top total offense in the Football Championship Subdivision.
"We had a great game plan going in," safety Jaxon Woodward said. "Our defensive line got really good pressure up front, and we were able to keep (star EWU quarterback Eric Barriere) contained."
New Mexico transfer receiver/returner Elijah Lilly, an expected contributor, is absent from the depth chart for unknown reasons for the second consecutive week, as are defensive backs Ryan Swanson, Awan Parker and Mujeeb Rufai. Reserve linebacker Jalan Jenkins was in sweats on the Idaho sideline for the opener.
Senior defensive linemen Leonick Tamba and Cameron Townsend weren't on Idaho's Week 1 two-deep, but both played against Eastern. Townsend missed all of 2019 with a leg injury.
Idaho Climbs The Polls
The Vandals were ranked 19th in Monday's STATS Perform FCS national poll. It's the first time they've earned a top-25 nod in an official poll since 1995 — their final season in the Big Sky before jumping to Division I-A/Football Bowl Subdivision play, where they'd stay for 22 seasons.
"Your ultimate goal is to go to the playoffs, so you've got to get ranked, you've got to keep moving up," Petrino said. "Our players went into the season trying to make sure we accomplish that, and (getting ranked) gives you a better chance."
HERO Sports' FCS expert Sam Herder included Idaho as an at-large bid in his early predictions for the postseason field Monday.
In Idaho's upset of then-No. 12 EWU, all three phases clicked. That hadn't exactly been the norm the past two seasons, but the Vandals are hoping they've found their balance.
Led by the swarming duo of Walker and Christian Elliss (30 combined tackles), Idaho's defense played a complete game, giving new quarterback Mike Beaudry a grace period when he started sluggishly. Later, the offense got grooving, and "all game long," Petrino said, the "special teams did a great job flipping the field."Walker was the Big Sky's defensive player of the week, and punter Cade Coffey (seven attempts, 50.6 yards on average) earned STATS FCS player of the week honors.
"It bodes well for next week," Coffey said. "It's awesome when you see the offense, defense and special teams feeding off each other. That's when you know you have great leadership, to be honest, and a good team."
Vandals Weigh In On Good/Not Good FG Try
The Vandals have been there, kind of.
Two seasons ago, a matchup between Idaho and Montana State came down to the wire on a snowy mid-October afternoon in Bozeman.
Idaho capped its final series with a 9-yard touchdown run by receiver David Ungerer, who cut back and made a few men miss on a broken end-around play. An extra point could have tied it at 24 with three minutes remaining.
Coffey's PAT try seemed to squeeze inside the upright, but officials ruled it no good. Idaho appealed fervently, but ultimately lost by a point.
Early in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game, EWU had a 22-yard field-goal attempt called unsuccessful after the ball bounced off Idaho's scoreboard and back onto the field.
It would have put the Eagles up 24-21 with 11 minutes to play. The conference admitted Sunday that the ruling was erroneous.
"I've been on the other end of that a couple of times," Coffey said. "Stuff like that happens. You've just got to move on."Petrino was asked for the first time what he thought of the play during his coach's show Tuesday.
"We won by seven, so it doesn't really matter. The same thing happened to us at Montana State two years ago. The only difference is we lost by one," he told Idaho commentator Chris King, who later inquired about the Vandals' game-winning drive, which ended with a gutty, 25-yard touchdown pass on third-and-11 from Beaudry to Hatten with 54 seconds left.
"We thought everybody might be complaining about the missed field goal, so we wanted to make sure we got a touchdown," said Petrino, laughing.

We describe results that show the effectiveness of machine learning in the automatic diagnosis of certain neurodegenerative diseases, several of which alter speech and language production. We analyzed audio from 9 control subjects and 30 patients diagnosed with one of three subtypes of Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration. From this data, we extracted features of the audio signal and the words the patient used, which were obtained using our automated transcription technologies. We then automatically learned models that predict the diagnosis of the patient using these features. Our results show that learned models over these features predict diagnosis with accuracy significantly better than random. Future studies using higher quality recordings will likely improve these results.

Hotel Stockton
Adaptive Reuse and Rehabilitation of the Historic Hotel Stockton
The Hotel Stockton was not the result of government action or big business funding, but was conceived by a small group of citizens in 1903, who raised the money themselves, to create something notable and lasting. They recognized that without a fine hotel, Stockton could not compete for out-of-town business and tourists. The initial budget of $350,000 was raised by public subscription, with the promise of a 6% return. Within a month, nearly $300,000 was raised, an enormous sum at a time when the average annual salary for workers was only $750!
The building was Design by local architect Edgar Brown to cover a full city block. Construction, which began in earnest in 1908, had its own challenges, from the need for deep piles due to the waterfront location, to having the original contractor go bankrupt. Finally, the Hotel did open to great acclaim. This grand result of their efforts was completed in 1910 as a 252 room tourist hotel, just a year after the great San Francisco earthquake. The Hotel's facade, particularly its roof line, is a large and prominent example of the Mission Revival style. It is six stories plus a basement in height, with over 145,000 square feet.
It was the first reinforced concrete "fireproof" building in the Central Valley. Other innovations were refrigerated air, a built-in vacuum system, private telephones, hot/ cold water, steam heat, and private lavatories. A large ballroom was on the top floor. The third floor housed a 10,000sq.ft. outdoor terrace surrounded by an elegant pergola, tropical plants, and a fountain which overlooked the deep water channel. The ground floor had shops, a grand lobby, and a popular grill. It was the original home of City Hall until the current City Hall was opened in 1926.
Theater luminaries of the day, including Lillian Russell, Sarah Bernhardt, John Drew and David Warfield were early guests, and in 1941, the Best Picture winner, All the King's Men, was filmed there. It was a popular spot for special events for local residents: weddings, anniversaries, graduations and more had it full and hopping for decades.
The Hotel struggled to survive during the 1940's and 1950's, and it finally closed to guests in 1960. That year, San Joaquin County offices moved in. The decline of The Stockton was progressing rapidly. Many historic interior spaces were gutted for offices and partitions.
The building began to lose its luster and ended up a blight in downtown Stockton. Placed on the National Historic Register in 1981, this did little to turn the tide. County offices moved out in 1991, and, with the exception of a few small businesses, the building sat mostly abandoned until a series of efforts to secure financing and save the structure were successful in 2001.
A series of efforts by many people over the next decade did not result in a much progress toward saving the building, which continued to leak and deteriorate. The closest to success was a design by Milford Wayne Donaldson FAIA in a project that was to convert it into offices; this project was ultimately unable to move forward due to financial issues.
Invited to look at the potential of the forlorn building in 2003, Cyrus Youssefi's CFY Development, Inc., along with Architect Michael F. Malinowski, AIA, of Applied Architecture, Inc., started the immense task of saving the building and bringing it back to life as a mixed-use development incorporating apartments, restaurants, offices and shops. This effort involved the dedication of literally hundreds of people from all walks of life. The apartment phase of the adaptive reuse was completed in 2004, with the commercial ground level work continuing. The Stockton has become a lasting and living tribute to the vision, spirit and determination of the citizens of Stockton once again.
The project consisted of a mixed use development incorporating apartments and future ground floor retail and restaurant uses. An historic rooftop terrace overlooking the channel and waterfront square has become a public space once again, connected to a ground floor restaurant. The adaptive reuse and rehabilitation of the Hotel Stockton is a proposal which was carefully and delicately balanced program that created feasibility of what was by all accounts a very challenging undertaking, both programmatically, technically and most of all financially. The project received funding from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, the Federal Historic Tax Credit, the City of Stockton, and private investments.
The upper floors now provide 156 apartments for low and fixed-income residents, with units ranging from 245 to just under 500 square feet. Many units have unique architectural characteristics and views. The historic rooftop terrace overlooking the deep water channel and DeCarli Square, has already played host to several events and received rave reviews. The ground floor already multiple tenants, which included offices of Congressman Cordoza at completion.
As completed, the development rehabilitated an important City historic resource, provides comfortable and safe housing, provides for retail and restaurant uses that enhance activity on the street and complements the adjacent multi screen seat state-of-the-art cinema complex, and provides a major boost in the ongoing efforts to revitalize downtown Stockton. The Stockton once again inspires, delights, and provide useful functions to the city and it's citizens.
This 1910 National Register listed Landmark, once the Grandest Hotel in Downtown Stockton at the foot of the deepwater Channel.

David and Chie Hammons, Installation view, L&M Arts, January 18 – March 31, 2007. Photo: Tom Powell.
David Hammons, a New York artist of considerable influence, has not had an exhibition of new work since 2002. His three-decade career has sustained a radical conceptual practice, proliferated through street performance, public installation, sculpture and beyond. While his previous endeavor appeared at the formidable Ace Gallery, his work commands a level of critical distinction that supersedes the conventional gallery system. Yet the choice location of his long-awaited effort was not in a museum or on the street, but at a stuffy gallery in an Upper East Side townhouse.
This untitled exhibition was staged in two rooms on two different floors of L&M Arts, a gallery handpicked by Hammons for the show. In the downstairs gallery, he draped five luxurious, front-facing fur coats on dress forms, four clustered to the left of the gallery and one to the right. Another stood alone in a gallery upstairs. The six coats, cut in classic, elegant, styles from distinct furs, like mink and fox, were defaced on their backsides by streaks of paint—yellows and greens and pinks—dried to a crust. The one coat upstairs had been partially torched, a large hole burned through the middle.
The show was credited as a collaboration with Hammons's wife, Chie—and while its joint realization is certainly significant, reading the new work within David Hammons's oeuvre is particularly telling. Initially, the use of expensive fur seemed suspicious for an artist who has staunchly aligned himself with Arte Povera. Hammons is more known for his economical and clever use of discarded or ephemeral materials. He often combines and transforms the common objects— basketballs, malt liquor bottles, chicken wings—of black street life, endowing what has been marginalized and invisible with significance. His relational work is especially powerful, like his often-cited performance of selling snowballs in Harlem, or drawing with dirt, demonstrating a penchant for resourcefulness and making something from nothing. Hammons's attack on fur was a provocative reversal of his own form, debasing highly valued objects, as opposed to elevating the artifacts of the street.
Given the context of the gallery, Hammons's coats fit squarely into a representation of an elite, Upper East Side lifestyle. L&M deals primarily in 20th Century masters, and visiting the gallery I expected a certain air of stateliness. Although I was aware that the show had been specifically staged there, almost precontrived for pretense, I still felt uncomfortable inside the townhouse. Just as I set foot to ascend the staircase, I was shadowed by the gallery assistant, who followed me up to the lone coat. This coat was made from rolls of chinchilla skin, exquisitely puffed, segmented and tailored, and Hammons had attacked it, burning it straight through the back. The burning and desecration of a fur coat is a culturally loaded, unequivocal protest against greed, cruelty and suffering. While the debate over fur is socially divisive, it is rooted in the larger question of what it means to be humane. Hammons has consistently been concerned with issues of integrity, reparation and transformation. His renounced furs embody the political possibility of restoring value to the invisible and dignity to the powerless.
Ultimately, the meaning and lingering shock of the exhibit remains not so much in the redress of abuse, as in a final—and signature—coup. Hammons laid out his provocation, and then, professed to overturn his case. Standing upstairs between the chinchilla coat and the gallery assistant, I asked her about the brand and the style of the coats. "Hammons said not to think of the coats as coats, but as canvases," she insisted. In a kind of Emperor's New Clothes in reverse, I imagined Hammons convincing the gallery (and then in turn their patrons) of the benevolence of the exhibition, referring to the defaced coats as "just paintings." To me, hearing the fur chinchilla coat called a blank canvas sounded completely perverse. It is a testament to Hammons's genius that he can manipulate power structures with such deliberately heavy hands and succeed in orchestrating so disturbing an experience.
