Kabali is a new tamil movie of super star rajanikanth. He signed this movie after above average Linga movie directed by ks ravikumar. Currently actor rajinikanth age is 65(Dec 12, 1950) but still he is the greatest hero of all time and he is an nspirational role model to these youngsters. Kochadaiiyaan and Linga didn't make any impact at box office. Kochadaiiyaan was a computer animated movie directed by his daughter Soundarya R. Ashwin. Linga was directed by KS Ravikumar, They teamed again after Padayappa but failed to impress the box office. Kabali is written and directed by Pa. Ranjith, this is his 3rd movie after Attakathi and Madras. Both these films got fabulous reviews and did decently at box office and lets hope kabali review also will be positive for him.
Kabali Movie is a rajinikanth upcoming movie produced by S. Thanu under the banner V Creations. Radhika Apte, Prakash Raj, Kishore, Kalaiyarasan, Dhansika, and Attakathi Dinesh are in the supporting roles. The first look poster of Kabali Tamil Movie was released earlier and the teaser got released during the month of May. Movie captured in Malaysia, Bangkok and Hong Kong, Santhosh Narayanan is composing the music. Right now he is one of the leading Music directors of Kollywood. Songs have been released already and its a hit. Neruppu da song from the kabali movie became a anthem for Rajini fans already and kabali release is a major tamil movie news from the industry.
Kabali release date have been scheduled for July 22, 2016. As the trailer of the movie is well received by the tamil cinema audience, Now Kabali is the most expected movie in Rajinikanth movie list career and now the meter is raised to 100+%. Kabali movie tickets are selling in high speed as many screens across the world have been fulled for the opening day already and the kabali ticket price is also high in many kabali theatres. Team kabali is looking forward to smash all the box office records of Indian Cinema as this movie is releasing 10000 theatres worldwide.
The problem now is "Piracy", Most of the tamil movies get released Online on the same day of the movie release so to avoid this Producer of the movie S Thanu has moved to the Madras high court to stop tamil movie streaming websites uploading kabali. He also given the list of about 180 other online streaming websites. Tamil rockers website is now available in this tamilrockers.be, earlier on facebook they have informed that Kabali pirated copy will be uploaded on same Kabali release day.
Rajinikanth fans on socialmedia have started trolling TAMILROCKERS website and few others also creating Kabali vs Tamilrockers memes and spreading it across Facebook and Whatsapp now. Here we got some Kabali Tamilrockers memes which will make you laugh for sure. TAMILGUN.COM has released the kabali movie on net before FDFS.
On other side Superstar Rajini fans are celebrating kabali movie by doing many activities online and offline.
50+ Kabali funny photos are here, just for a laugh .


With 94m2 of inside space and a further 14m2 of terrace, this sparkling clean bar/café can accommodate around 50 customers.
You approach the premises via the terrace and will find a good, well-equipped bar running down one side, with the kitchen (also well-equipped) and male and female washrooms to the rear. There are also useful storage areas. The inside is well laid out with tables, bench seating and has a nautical theme running throughout.
The current owner serves a varied menu for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, opening every day from April through to the end of October and with reduced hours from November to the end of March – more details on request, but this is a personal choice and the new owner can set out his/her own opening hours.
The clientele are predominantly British, but with an increasing number of international tourists and residents, particularly German, Scandinavian and French amongst others, for whom this bar/café has become a regular watering hole! Of note, the business has now received a high rating on Tripadvisor.
COMMENT: This is a great starter bar for a single person with help or a couple with experience in the hospitality business who can continue to build on the success achieved by the current owner and we strongly recommend viewing at the earliest opportunity, as this will not be on the market for long.
What an amazing opportunity to buy a successful bar/café in this bustling resort, surrounded by holiday and residential accommodation!

Q: Using classes and constructors and create a object name with an array size of 3 I am trying to create an object in the main with an array of three. When i run it, it displays the desired output, but it gives an error and any code after that doesn't run. "Unhandled exception at 0x775FC41F in Grocery.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::bad_alloc at memory location 0x0036E590."
    class GroceryItem {
    public:
    GroceryItem();//default constructor
    GroceryItem(string, double, int, int); // four argument constructor

    void set_qty_on_hand(int);// Assigns a value to the data member quantity_on_hand.
    void set_qty_purchased(int); // Sets qty_purchased to zero before a customer begins shopping.
    string get_item_name(); // Returns the value of the data memebr item_name.
    double get_item_price(); // Returns the value of the data member item_price
    int get_qty_on_hand(); // Returns the value of the data member quantity_on_hand.
    int get_qty_purchased(); // Retruns the value of the data memebr qty_purchased.
    private:
            string item_name;
            double item_price;
            int quantity_on_hand;
            int quantity_purchased;
     };

   GroceryItem::GroceryItem(string name, double price, int hand, int purchased){

   return item_price;
   }

  quantity_on_hand = hand;
  }
  int GroceryItem::get_qty_on_hand(){

  }

    quantity_purchased = purchased;
   if (purchased <= 0)
   {
    quantity_purchased = 0;
    cout <<"\n cart cannot be negative, it will be set to 0. \n";
    }
   }
   int GroceryItem::get_qty_purchased(){
    return quantity_purchased;
   }

int main(){
int input;
cout <<"Welcome to KMART\n" << "\nHappy Shopping" << endl;
GroceryItem Kmart("Hello", 1234, 1234, 1);
GroceryItem Kmart2("My", 1234, 1234, 1);
GroceryItem Kmart3[SIZE] = {
    { "John", 1234, 1234, 0 },
    { "Mary", 1234, 1234, 0 },
    { "Kevin", 1234, 1234, 0 }

};
//Kmart("jjj", 12, 123, 1);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
cout << Kmart3[i].get_item_name() << "\t" << Kmart3[i].get_item_price() << "\t" <<                   Kmart3[i].get_qty_on_hand() << "\t" << Kmart3[i].get_qty_purchased() << endl;
}
cout << "This is fromt eh four argument constructor" << endl;
cout<<Kmart.get_item_name()<<"\t"<<Kmart.get_item_price()<<"\t"<<Kmart.get_qty_on_hand()<<"\t"<<Kmart.get_qty_purchased()<<endl;
cout << Kmart2.get_item_name() << "\t" << Kmart2.get_item_price() << "\t" << Kmart2.get_qty_on_hand() << "\t" << Kmart2.get_qty_purchased() << endl;

}

A: You have not shared with us the value for SIZE; however, I'm guessing that you probably have it less than 10.  If that were the case, then it would crash later when you're looping through Kmart3.
Making this change should stop the crashing (at least it does in my testing):
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++)
{
    if (Kmart3[i].get_item_name().length() > 0)
        cout << Kmart3[i].get_item_name().c_str() << "\t" << Kmart3[i].get_item_price() << "\t" << Kmart3[i].get_qty_on_hand() << "\t" << Kmart3[i].get_qty_purchased() << endl;
}

Of course, there are a few other issues you'll need to address before the code works as I think you mean for it to work; however, that should stop the crashing.

Утичница је справа која омогућава електричној опреми да се убацивањем утикача у исту повеже на примарни извор електричне енергије у објекту. Електричне утичнице се разликују у јачини напона и струје за који су предвиђене, облику, величини и типу конектора.

Савет
Приликом вађења утикача, ово посебно важи за шуко, потребно је руком вршити силу на утичницу приближно једнаку или јачу од оне која се користи за вађења утикача. Ово је битно спроводити, како не би дошло до одваљивања утичнице из зида. Потребан је опрез приликом поправке или замјене утичнице. Обавезно треба искључити осигурач на који је утичница повезана прије интервенције.

Chris Brown has had his share of negative publicity on matters of his personal life. His appearance on MTV's "When I Was 17" provided a nice opportunity for Brown to share some lighthearted stories about his personal life that would allow fans to see him in a different light. I think he might have gotten a little too personal on this one, though.


A well-known protocol can help student teams reflect intentionally on their work—a necessity for improvement and learning.
Working in teams is difficult, but most teachers recognize that building the capacity to collaborate with others is essential. The most pressing problems facing us, our communities, and our society are complex and multifaceted—they evade simple solutions and tend to require a breadth of knowledge, insight, and creativity that can only be accessed when people come together.
But even educators who espouse the virtues of collaboration can struggle mightily to support students in doing it well.
Unlike individuals, who have the potential to be agile and learn quickly, teams can repeat the same mistake over and over again, to the frustration of every single member of the team.
That's because teams don't learn in the same way that individuals do.
When you as an individual touch a hot stove, you're far less likely to touch it again. Most of us process the painful experience and choose to change our behavior rather quickly. However, it's quite easy for a group to touch the same proverbial hot stove again and again—within a team, there is no single head within which a painful (or successful) experience can be processed and where reflection and adaptation can take place.
For many educators, our instinct is to rush in and save the day when we see teams struggle. We take on the responsibility for defining and solving the problem on behalf of the team. Students may welcome this intervention, as it can offer momentary relief from the struggle and frustration that their team may be experiencing.
However, such interventions can keep the students from developing their own capacity to learn from their team's experiences and successfully address future problems. In other words, the problem at hand might be solved, but the group isn't getting any smarter. Chances are, the team will once again touch the same hot stove that caused the trouble in the first place.
To address the problem of group learning, a team must develop the ability to reflect on itself. Without intentional reflection, members of a team are unlikely to develop a collective sense of what is working and what is not, making improvement unlikely.
What would this reflection look like? Consider the rather simple, yet powerful, protocol developed by the U.S. military and used by many corporations—the after-action review (AAR). The AAR is a structured process that allows a team to learn from its own experiences. Part of it involves a team asking and answering four basic questions: What did we intend to do? What were our actual results? What explains our results? Moving forward, what do we want to sustain, and what do we want to change?
In my experience as a high school math teacher, it was common to see student teams repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Whether it was due to a lack of communication, imprecise language, failure to draw on the insights of all team members, or deficient or unclear team processes, I would constantly see teams grow frustrated and fall into the typical group work traps. These traps can have severely negative impacts on a team's ability to grapple with complex content, explore meaningful questions, and learn deeply. In fact, these traps are the very reason why so many educators avoid group work in the first place.
Walking my students through questions similar to the AAR proved remarkably powerful in helping them overcome these traps. Here's an illustrative example that occurred on the fourth day of a five-day design project, when one of my student teams experienced a moment of panic. The students were well through their design phase and had started constructing their design. While their original design was creative and mathematically sound, they ended up misinterpreting their own diagram and plans, which led them down an incorrect path.
When I approached them, they were eager for me to solve the problem. However, I knew less than they did about the nature of their problem, let alone how to address it. Rather than swoop in to fix their problem, I helped them reflect on what had happened.
I asked each student to describe what had gone wrong while the others listened. Each of the students had a slightly different perspective on the problem. They talked about challenges with their team's communication, faulty mathematical assumptions they had made, and their inattention to the mathematics within their design and plan.
Next, I asked them what they intended to do moving forward. They were able to articulate thoughtful changes to the way their group would operate to address their challenges. These changes included more regular and structured communication between team members and frequent referrals to their team's design. In the end, the group experienced a tremendous rebound and ultimately had a successful project and learning experience.
Whether a teacher helps students reflect on their team's experiences, or whether teams learn to use their own protocols for doing so, the important idea is that teams only learn through intentional and deliberate reflection. Without the time, space, and discipline to reflect on their experiences, teams likely won't develop a collective and explicit understanding about what they're doing that's working and what they need to change.

Doug the Digger (aka Alistair McIntyre) has hit the tarmac again, getting around a sizeable chunk of the North Island on a month long road trip to promote the contracting and associated industries to youngsters as future professional career paths.
Through either age appropriate programmes, Doug the Digger or Youth into Industry, McIntyre gets the important messages across in a fun and interactive way, allowing students to make informed decisions, so students know exactly what is expected of them, and as should happen in the real world, there is a toolbox meeting at the start of either programme.
Lessons of life experiences are well-taught, covering the importance of skills such as reading, writing and arithmetic with a positive attitude that is a necessity for future employment.
The first part of McIntyre's travelling road show has taken them from their home base in Whangarei down through the Waikato. With the assistance of the Tai Poutini Polytechnic Waikato Digger School trainees, they showed Matamata Intermediate pupils what it takes to pre-start and operate machinery in a safe work environment.
Not to be outdone by the older kids, Ngatea Kindergarten pupils were also included as part of the Waikato tour, and McIntyre's Kenworth K100E along with the Gough Cat 301.8C mini excavator , affectionately known as Little Cutie, must have been the highlight of the little tykes' week.
Backtracking to the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) in Auckland, the road show was joined by the New Zealand Drug Detection Agency (NZDDA), Hirepool, Before U Dig and Collings Earthmoving. The Choice Foundation, which runs the Standtall leadership programme, selected 40 year eight students, who have worked hard to qualify for this unique opportunity, to get a snapshot of what skills and attributes they will require if they want to be a part of the contracting industry.
After the toolbox meeting, students filled in pre-start check-sheets with information gathered from the site tour led by Collings Earthmoving, before getting hands-on with the mini excavator. This was followed by a lesson from Before U Dig on what happens when you dig before you know what is underground. The kids were then shown how to safely handle petrol-powered equipment, courtesy of Hirepool. Rounding off the students' lessons was the all-important personal responsibility talk from the New Zealand Drug Detection Agency.
Chris Skinner and Amanda Coup from Massey High School in West Auckland were on a fact-finding mission to see if the Youth into Industry program could be integrated into the alternative learning programs the school was already running, and had brought along a student that has struggled with the education system. McIntyre says the student stepped up and was used to help guide the other visiting school pupils around one of the evolutions.
As McIntyre points out, a lot of youngsters that struggle with traditional learning methods sometimes hit a downward spiral, but can quickly be brought back on course if they are able to connect with learning methods they understand and relate to, raising their levels of confidence and ultimately meaning they become positive members of society.
The MOTAT visit concluded, the Doug the Digger road show packed up and headed off down highway one ready for a busy three weeks visiting 45 schools, as a Duffy Books in Homes role model.

In 1991, Charles Cosby was selling ounces of cocaine on the inner-city streets of Oakland, California. Bringing in a couple grand a week, he was living the new American Dream. Then he wrote a fan letter to "Cocaine Godmother" Griselda Blanco – immortalized in rakontur's Cocaine Cowboys – who was serving time at a nearby federal prison.
Six months later, he was a multi-millionaire. Charles was not only running Blanco's $40 million a year cocaine business, he was also her lover. When she recruited him to participate in a prison break that involved the kidnapping of JFK Jr., Charles knew he was in over his head. Also known as "The Black Widow," for her propensity to permanently dispose of her men when she's done with them (or when they betray her), Griselda would stop at nothing to ensure that Charles was faithful to her. And he would learn that lesson the hard way.
This is the story of a kid from the streets who (literally) gets in bed with a Colombian queenpin. It's New Jack City meets Scarface – only the truth!
Variety: "Like something out of pulp fiction"
DVD Talk: "The film explores the violent, wealthy world of Miami's drug trade in the late Seventies and early Eighties, providing a non-fiction glimpse at people and a milieu that gave us such timeless TV series as 'Miami Vice'".
Home Theater: "This is a gripping story that although dark and violent is important to watch. It puts human faces on the drug lords that have been all too long glorified by Hollywood in films like 'Scarface' and television series such as 'Miami Vice'"
New Times: "The film begins in California, focusing on Cosby's entry into the crack business. It's a sharp detour from the Miami drug scene, with old photos of Cosby looking like a character from Boyz n the Hood. There's even a demonstration of how to condense cocaine into crack on a stovetop."

Q: How to make a local variable (inside a function) global I'm using functions so that my program won't be a mess but I don't know how to make a local variable into global.

A: Using globals will also make your program a mess - I suggest you try very hard to avoid them. That said, "global" is a keyword in python, so you can designate a particular variable as a global, like so:
def foo():
    global bar
    bar = 32

I should mention that it is extremely rare for the 'global' keyword to be used, so I seriously suggest rethinking your design.

A: You could use module scope. Say you have a module called utils:
f_value = 'foo'

def f():
    return f_value

f_value is a module attribute that can be modified by any other module that imports it. As modules are singletons, any change to utils from one module will be accessible to all other modules that have it imported:
>> import utils
>> utils.f()
'foo'
>> utils.f_value = 'bar'
>> utils.f()
'bar'

Note that you can import the function by name:
>> import utils
>> from utils import f
>> utils.f_value = 'bar'
>> f()
'bar'

But not the attribute:
>> from utils import f, f_value
>> f_value = 'bar'
>> f()
'foo'

This is because you're labeling the object referenced by the module attribute as f_value in the local scope, but then rebinding it to the string bar, while the function f is still referring to the module attribute.

A: Here are two methods to achieve the same thing:
Using parameters and return (recommended)
def other_function(parameter):
    return parameter + 5

def main_function():
    x = 10
    print(x)
    x = other_function(x)
    print(x)

When you run main_function, you'll get the following output
>>> 10
>>> 15

Using globals (never do this)
x = 0   # The initial value of x, with global scope

def other_function():
    global x
    x = x + 5

def main_function():
    print(x)    # Just printing - no need to declare global yet
    global x   # So we can change the global x
    x = 10
    print(x)
    other_function()
    print(x)

Now you will get:
>>> 0    # Initial global value
>>> 10   # Now we've set it to 10 in `main_function()`
>>> 15   # Now we've added 5 in `other_function()`

A: Simply declare your variable outside any function:
globalValue = 1

def f(x):
    print(globalValue + x)

If you need to assign to the global from within the function, use the global statement:
def f(x):
    global globalValue
    print(globalValue + x)
    globalValue += 1

A: If you need access to the internal states of a function, you're possibly better off using a class. You can make a class instance behave like a function by making it a callable, which is done by defining __call__:
class StatefulFunction( object ):
    def __init__( self ):
        self.public_value = 'foo'

    def __call__( self ):
        return self.public_value

>> f = StatefulFunction()
>> f()
`foo`
>> f.public_value = 'bar'
>> f()
`bar`

ADL Task Force Welcomes Passage of House…
ADL Task Force Welcomes Passage of House Resolutions Supporting Mideast Minorities
New York, NY, December 7, 2020 … ADL's (the Anti-Defamation League) Task Force on Middle East Minorities today welcomed the bipartisan passage of two important House Resolutions that the Task Force had endorsed earlier this year as part of its work supporting the rights of vulnerable groups. The Task Force consists of scholars, experts, and activists who serve as an advisory body to augment ADL's work in protecting vulnerable minorities by identifying, elevating, and educating on emerging human rights issues in the Middle East.
The first resolution, H. Res. 512, which raises concern about the harm caused by blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy laws, including against minority groups, and urges the U.S. government to make the international repeal of these laws a human rights priority.
The second resolution, H. Res. 823, condemns the Government of Iran's state-sponsored persecution of its Baha'i minority and the regime's continued violation of the International Covenants on Human Rights. This bipartisan resolution also calls on the Executive Branch to impose sanctions on those Iranian officials who are directly responsible for serious human rights abuses against the Baha'i community.
The Task Force encouraged the Senate to pass the companion measures for each of these important human rights resolutions, and called on the Executive Branch to continue supporting the human rights of all vulnerable groups in the Middle East and beyond.
ADL is the world's leading anti-hate organization. Founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of anti-Semitism and bigotry, its timeless mission is to protect the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment for all. Today, ADL continues to fight all forms of hate with the same vigor and passion. A global leader in exposing extremism, delivering anti-bias education, and fighting hate online, ADL is the first call when acts of anti-Semitism occur. ADL's ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate.

This year's Fort Lauderdale boat show featuring $3 billion worth of boats and gear, set on more than 3 million square feet of space will play host to some incredible feats of super yacht design.
Ready to explore the higher latitudes of Earth is Moran Yachts' 247-foot exploration vessel Northern Star. Capable of a range of 8,500 nautical miles and classed for light sea ice she is finely tuned and kitted out for long cruises to the far reaches of the world. Fitted with three generators, four stabilizer fins, two side-thrusters, and three tenders Northern Star is very well prepared.
She has six decks accommodating 12 guests and 22 crew. All the guest cabins are placed on the main deck with large windows, while the owners' suite on the upper deck has virtually horizon-to-horizon views.
The largest yacht built in the US since the 1930s will be making its debut at the show. At 281 feet and 2,950 tons, Cakewalk is claimed to be the biggest yacht ever built in the United States in terms of volume.
The Perini Navi 201-foot Felicita West is the largest and fastest aluminum sailing yacht in the world. The flybridge is so big that all twelve guests can comfortably sit in the sun surrounded by the gleaming mast machinery. A large swimming platform descends from the main deck with easy access into the water or onto jet tenders. You can also find spectacular views from a crow's nest lift that ascends 131 feet.
The 2010 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs from October 28 to November 1 in Florida, USA.

So, without further ado, let's have a look at which ones made the cut.
This freebie offers responsive design and works best for those who wish to showcase their work. Its vibrant, modern look includes parallax effects, large buttons and an emphasis on topography.
Looking for something a little less vibrant? This minimalist design features blurred images, negative space and ghost buttons.
One of my favorite templates from TemplateMonster is this retro and responsive design. It offers natural colors, blurred images and hexagon shapes.
I recently discovered this little gem. They offer a small collection of free CSS, HTML5, and responsive site templates released under the Creative Commons license.
This minimalistic and spacious design offers a large cover image, parallax effects and crisp, clean font. Perfect for the blogger.
Another responsive, minimalistic design, Ion offers additional options such as a right or left sidebar. The beauty of this design is in its subtly.
Clearly, my favorite, HTML5 UP offers fully responsive HTML5 + CSS3 templates. Each of their templates are 100 per cent free and licensed under the Creative Commons.
This template offers a clean layout, hover effect, ghost buttons and more. If a simple, easy-to-navigate website design is what you're after, this one if absolutely one you shouldn't pass up.
Dropdown menus, sidebars, large buttons, icons and more. Strongly Typed offers the frequent blogger one heck of a design. While I wouldn't consider this to be my favorite, it is definitely on the top-ten.
Strata was one of the first templates I discovered on HTML5 UP. It offers a stationary left sidebar, parallax effects and lightbox. This template would be great for a photographer or other creative looking to showcase their work.
Our first single-pager in the group, Highlights offers a simple, responsive design. Not only does it look great, but it functions well too. Scrolling is smooth and the background transitions are simply fantastic.
With five unique page layouts, the Halcynoic responsive HTML5 + CSS template feels like the workhorse of the bunch. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a layout that works for you. The color scheme is easy on the eyes, yet bold; and the slight texture works well.

Crete is the southernmost and the biggest island in Greece. Its coast line runs for a thousand kilometers, and its shore is indented with numerous coves, grottos and sheer rocks. This unique island is bathing in warm water of the Mediterranean. As a tourist destination, Crete is more popular than other Greek islands, and every visitor will find something to do here that would match his personal tastes. Beach and sun lovers will enjoy its excellent beaches and secluded coves and its active sea coast villages warmed by the sun 300 days a year. Crete's highly developed infrastructure, its luxuriant sea resorts and hotels and its amazingly untouched nature make the island a popular spot where lots of people buy property. Apart from its stunning views blending with horizon, Crete is famous for its rich history. If you are keen on history, you will enjoy visiting its numerous sights and memorial places. It was here that Europe's most ancient Minoan civilization came into being, and it laid the foundation to Ancient Greek and European culture. Its artifacts are exhibited in Knossos, Festa and Gortina museums.
Crete looks like a miniature universe full of beauty and various treasures. You may get an impression that your life is too short to explore and to discover all parts of the island. But if you buy real estate there, you'll win a magic ticket that will allow you to visit Crete again and again.
Crete is 13th Greek periphery; it is divided into 4 regions: Heraclion, Chania, Rethymno and Lassiti, with its administrative centre in Agios Nikolaos. Knossos was its ancient capital, and archeological excavations discovered its magnificent architectural ensemble, with its palace, numerous villas, roads and colonnades. Since Knossos palace is closely related to Minos, its legendary king, ancient Crete civilization was also called Minoan. The Greek settled down here much later, but they also held Minoan culture in great respect. And perhaps that is the reason why they believed that Zeus the Thunderer's mother chose one of Crete caves to hide her newborn baby from its father, and the almighty god spent his childhood years in Crete as well.
Crete climate is considered one of the mildest and healthiest in Europe. The island is also famous for its unique ecological situation: the nearest factory is located a couple hundred miles away from Crete. Swimming season starts end of April here and it lasts till mid-November. Crete winter is short and mild, and the temperature never drops down below +13-18C. And even in the middle of winter the water temperature stays round +16C.
Crete real estate has been long since discovered by the fans of luxurious and sophisticated vacations spent far away from the fuss of big cities, amongst ancient ruins and untouched nature. The sea stays as transparent and crystal clear as it used to be in those times when Olympic Gods came to swim there. And local nature features untouched spots famous for its virgin fauna and flora. Villa and apartment prices here are not higher (and sometimes even much lower) than in mainland Greece. Each part of Crete has its own peculiarities regarding its natural landscapes and the property offered for sale.
Heraclion is the largest Crete region, and its capital also bears the same name. It's the island's administrative centre as well. In this region there are lots of large sea coast tourist centers such as Khersonissos, Malya, Stalida and Agia Pelagya. The coast line is indented with a large number of picturesque coves and bays, and different types of good hotels are located on their shore. It's a weighty argument for buying property which you plan to rent out. Heraclion International airport is quite large, and it operates hundreds of regular and charter flights all year round. Numerous churches dating back to various ages have survived here, as well as elegant neoclassical houses decorated with Balkan style ornaments. Once they belonged to local wealthy families. The city is also famous for its fountains - a legacy from Venetian and Turkish era. And the world famous Knossos palace is located a few kilometers from Heraclion. The jewel with a bee image which became the Crete talisman was found here, and local jewelers make lots of modern copies of this jewel. Crete property prices (near Heraclion) start from 1150 Euro per square meter.
Lassiti region includes Agios Nikolaos, Elunda,Istron, Ieroperta and Sitya cities. The region lies in the very east of Crete and it features fertile valleys and spacious beaches. The famous Finikodassos beach – the one surrounded with palm groves – is also located here. Every person who visited this area once dreams of buying property here. Agios Nikolaos, the administrative centre of the region, is located in the north western part of Mirabello bay, the largest bay in Crete. The most fashionable sea resorts are situated here as well. Sometimes they are called "The Crete St Tropes". The symbol of Agios Nikolaos, its capital, is the Vulyagmeni (Drown) Lake. A channel connects it to the sea, and an ancient legend says that Athena the Goddess herself took her baths here. If you consider buying property here, you would find it useful to know that you will have to pay at least 220 000 Euro (or more) for a townhouse or an apartment in Lassiti.
The famous Elunda is located in the western part of Mirabella bay. Spinalonga island with its ruins of a Venetian fortress lies in the bay mouth. It was made famous all over the world by a bestselling book "The Island" written by A. Heathlope, a well known British writer. Most expensive and comfortable hotels and numerous cafes and restaurants are located in Elunda as well as a great number of various big and small shops. Those who favor sophisticated and luxurious vacation style will definitely appreciate this sea resort. Time slows down here, so relax and enjoy the leisure this place offers. Quite a few nobilities and celebrities (including show business stars) buy real estate here or have their magnificent villas with swimming pools constructed in Elunda. Elunda property (including its villas) is exclusive and most luxurious in Crete, and it will meet the requirements of the most demanding and sophisticated buyer. Expensive hotels and restaurants, golf courses and yacht clubs and most exclusive boutiques are also located here. The price of Elunda property (a cottage or a villa in Lassiti, Crete) starts from 320 000 Euro.
Rethymno region consists of Rethymno (its capital), Panormo, Plakyas, Agia Galini and Bali cities. Venetians called the city Rettimo, and sea trade thrived here in those times. Malvasia, the famous sweet wine produced in the neighboring Malevisiu Valley, was exported from here, and wine barrels traveled all over Europe and even reached Portuguese colonies in India. Rethymno offers gorgeous mountain views, breathtakingly beautiful beaches as well as authentic Crete music, traditional villages – and luxurious hotels. It's the smallest Crete region located between the White Mountains and Psylorithis Mount. Amazing panoramas of its majestic mountain ranges makes the life here so romantic and the place, so special. In the northern part of the region you will find a marvelous sandy beach running for 16km. Its golden sand is a rare advantage, and no other city in Crete can boast of something like this. Local real estate owners are proud of if, because it is the longest beach in Crete. You can spot clear marks of Venetian style in the city architecture. In the heart of Rethymno Old City you will see the Rimondi fountain dating back to the 17th century. Local Archeology museum, Venetian Fortezza fortress and the Orthodox Arkadi monastery are also worth a visit. Property prices in Rethymno start from 1000 Euro per square meter.
Chania region includes Georgiupolis, Kurnas, Chania, Agia Marina, Gerani and Paleokhora cities. This is the greenest part of Crete, because it often rains here in winter. The White Mountains, the region's main mountain range, are covered with cypress forests which resemble of luxuriant Crete vegetation of Minoan times. In Chania city cemetery you will see the graves of Russian sailors and navy officers killed near Crete Island in 1897-1911. And next to it there is a memorial obelisk with a five-pointed star on its top. Its legend says that 33 Russian soldiers killed in Crete in World War II were buried and found their eternal peace here. Apart from its rich history, Chania region is famous for its Samaria canyon. This canyon is the largest one in Europe, and each summer it attracts thousands of tourists. Buying property in Chania gives you a good chance to live next to this amazing place. A trekking route across the canyon runs for 18km, and this 7hours long walk will give you a chance to discover its astonishing beauty. The starting point is located 1250m above the sea level. The walking path runs along the mountain slope and it is protected with wooden rails. Inside the canyon you will see a couple of ancient churches and renovated traditional Crete houses of the former Samaria village. The walk will take you about 6 hours, but it is definitely worth a try: swimming in emerald waters of the Libyan sea and sunbathing on its black sand beach would be a good reward for the effort. Real estate prices in this part of Crete start from 1500 Euro per square meter.
If you consider buying real estate in an island famous for its unique history, its ancient traditions of hospitality as well as f or its breathtakingly beautiful nature, Crete with its reasonable prices is your best choice.

George Shannon (right) converses with former President Bill Clinton at the annual CGIU meeting at Northeastern University.
Two members of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology community, Kevin Xu Professor of Gerontology George Shannon and graduate student David Markovich MSG '18, MHA '18, participated in the annual Clinton Global Initiative University meeting held October 14-15, 2017 in Boston.
Participants included former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton, and other global dignitaries.
"The inspiring plenary sessions will aid us in our leading work addressing aging challenges," Shannon said.
More than 1,000 student leaders and mentors came together from all over world to participate in well-attended breakout sessions held at Northeastern University. Student attendees were selected by a special committee based on their proposals for a "Commitment to Action," a social initiative meant to address a "significant global challenge," as designated by the Clinton Foundation.
"At the Clinton Global Initiative University, I was surrounded by innovative and caring individuals who have dedicated their talents to improving the lives of disadvantaged persons throughout the world," Markovich said.
Markovich was chosen to be a student participant for his commitment to providing a more empowering environment for older adults and disabled populations through his "Life Warrior" initiative that aims to counter the traditional norms of patient inaction when someone is ill or disabled.

The book draws upon both empirical approaches (e.g., personality assessment measures) and more theoretical constructs proposed by analytical psychologists and psychoanalysts.
Some of the topics of particular interest to psychologists are briefly outlined here.
Ernest Hartmann developed a concept of mental boundaries. His boundary questionnaire includes items assessing paranormal experience. His theories have surprising parallels with Jungian psychiatrist Jean Bolen's analysis of the Greek trickster Hermes. He is the god of boundaries.
Jung discussed the trickster in collaboration with anthropologist Paul Radin. He commented on the tricksterish aspects of poltergeists. Jung's writing on alchemy addressed the union and separation of opposites—a theme central to anthropological findings on binary classification schemes.
Freud wrote favorably on telepathy, but he displayed an "exquisite oscillation" (Ernest Jones' term) toward the supernatural. His book Totem and Taboo (1913) attempted to explain "primitive" religion, its use of magic, and its apparent irrationality. But Freud was forced to admit his befuddlement. The trickster governs the irrational, and he was the cause of Freud's confusion.
James Hillman's book Re-Visioning Psychology (1975) explains how the imagination and personification have been disparaged by psychologists. But they are key to grasping the trickster.
Jacques Lacan's work on the imagination has some parallels with that of Hillman. Lacan apparently said little about the paranormal, but his life was full of trickster and anti-structural aspects.
Hypnotism's association with the paranormal goes back at least to the time of Mesmer. Prominent psychologists who investigated hypnosis include Vladimir Bechterev, Pierre Janet, Sigmund Freud, William James, and William McDougall. These figures also contributed to psychical research.
Hypnosis remains somewhat ambiguous, marginal, and controversial within psychology. The phenomenon is illuminated with the anthropological concept of liminality (which shares important properties of the trickster).
Robert Rosenthal's research on experimenter effects is discussed in the chapter on reflexivity. Theories of the trickster directly apply to reflexivity.
Research on animal deception is reviewed, particularly its implications for the development of consciousness.
Paranoia frequently accompanies paranormal experience. A full chapter is devoted to the topic, and a variety of perspectives are reviewed.

late singer composer wajid khans wifey alleges his family of harassing her to convert to islam
Late Singer Composer Wajid Khan's Wifey Alleges His Family Of Harassing Her To Convert To Islam
Kamalrukh Khan said that even after her husband Wajid Khan's death, the harassment from his family continues.
Posted by Pravika Pant
New Delhi: Late music composer Wajid wife, hypnotherapist Kamalrukh Khan, has shared a long note unveiling how her in-laws were harassing her for not converting to Islam. Kamalrukh says that her two kids one 16 year old daughter and a nine year old son are being questioned about their inheritance because she refused to convert her religion to Islam.
Kamalrukh shared a long note on Instagram on Saturday. She spoke about the anti-conversion bill and how she connects to the condition due to what she and her kids have had to face.
Kamalrukh said, My name is Kamalrukh Khan, wife of the late music director Wajid Khan. My husband and I had a courtship spanning over 10 years before we finally got married.
I am Parsi and he was Muslim. We were what you would call "college sweethearts". Eventually when we did get married, we married for love under the Special Marriages Act (an act that upholds the right to practice one's own religion post marriage). And this is why this current debate surrounding the anti conversion bill is so interesting for me. I want to share my ordeal and my experience in an inter caste marriage - that in this day and age, a woman can face such prejudice, suffering and discrimination in the name of religion is a complete shame...and an eye opener.
My simple Parsi upbringing was very democratic in its value system. Independence of thought was encouraged and healthy debates were the norm. Education on all levels was encouraged. However, post marriage, this same independence, education and democratic value system was the biggest problem for my husband's family. An educated, thinking, independent woman with an opinion was just not acceptable. And resisting the pressures of conversion was sacrilege. I have always respected, participated and celebrated all faiths. But my resistance to convert to Islam drastically widened the divide between me and my husband, making it toxic enough to destroy our relationship as husband and wife, and his ability to be a present father to our kids. My dignity and self respect did not permit me to bend backwards for him and his family, by converting to Islam.
Conversion was not a value system I believed in personally. It was also not the example of a deep set rotten patriarchy that I wanted to set for my beautifully evolved children- my 16 year old daughter Arshi and my 9 year old son Hrehaan.
I fought this terrible way of thinking tooth and nail throughout my marriage. The result- being outcast from my husband's family, scare tactics to make me convert included taking me to court seeking divorce. I was devastated, felt betrayed and was emotionally drained, but my children and I held on.
Wajid was a super talented musician and composer who devoted his life to making melodies. My children and I miss him dearly and we wish he had dedicated more time to us as a family, devoid of religious prejudices, the way he did while creating his melodies. We never got to be a family due to his and his family's religious fanaticism. Today post his untimely death, the harassment from his family continues.
I stand fighting for the rights and inheritance of my children which have been usurped by them. All this because of their hatred against me for not converting to Islam. Such deep rooted hatred that even death of a loved one could not move.
I truly wish this anti- conversion law is nationalised, reducing the struggle for women like me who are fighting the toxicity of religion in inter caste marriages. We are bad mouthed, and labelled as being manipulative and greedy for standing our ground. The real enemy in this conversion cycle commences right at the start - the hate campaign against "other religions". To declare in public space that one's own religion is "the only true religion" and that one's own god/prophet is "the only true god/prophet" is obnoxious. Religion should be a cause for celebration of differences not separation of families.
This debate regarding the anti conversion bill should also delve deeper into the patriarchal mindset - it is mostly always the women who are made to forcibly convert. The conversion campaign has to be recognised for what it is - spreading hatred against different religious ideologies, separating wives from husbands and children from their fathers.
All religions are the path to the divine. Live and let live should be the only religion we all practice.

Rob Kardashian Reportedly A "Mess" Following Blac Chyna Split
By Ed Biggs in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 08 March 2017
Follow Rob Kardashian
Rob Kardashian Blac Chyna
An insider to the Rob-Chyna situation claims that the 29 year old star is "very unhealthy - both physically and emotionally" since the split in February.
In the wake of his latest and, seemingly, permanent split from his former fiancée Blac Chyna, it's been reported that Rob Kardashian's family have become "very concerned" about the mental well-being of the reality star.
It was reported around three weeks ago that the volatile couple, who welcomed their first daughter Dream in November last year, had split up yet again and quite possibly for good. According to a new report, 29 year old Rob has apparently been a "mess" ever since the break-up.
Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's split is now seemingly permanent
"He is spending time with Dream, but never alone," an insider to the situation told People on Wednesday (March 8th) about the state of play with the split and how it's affecting the domestic situation. "He is not in a state to care for her by himself."
Kardashian, a sock designer in addition to being the recent star of E!'s 'Rob & Chyna', has struggled with depression as well as weight management issues linked to his Type 2 diabetes. The split has seemingly exacerbated both of these issues, to the point where the rest of the Kardashian clan has become extremely worried about his personal situation.
More: Blac Chyna has shed 40 pounds since welcoming daughter Dream
"He isn't taking care of himself. He eats junk and doesn't exercise," the source continued, saying that he wasn't taking the necessary steps to keep his diabetes condition under control, meaning that Kardashian is "very unhealthy – both physically and emotionally".
The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star was hospitalised and diagnosed with the condition for the first time back in December 2015. When he met model and entrepreneur Chyna just a few months later, his condition was said to be getting better, but a temporary split round about Christmas time, amid reports that the couple were arguing frequently, caused Kardashian to be hospitalised again with complications arising from his diabetes.
While he frequently posts on social media about his love for his firstborn, he simply isn't taking care of himself, and his family believes that Chyna might have been the best thing for him, as combustible as they were together.
"As much as they fought, Chyna has been the only one to keep him in check. Rob's family hasn't been able to get through to him and get him to change," continues the source. "Without Chyna in his life, things are not going well for Rob."

Escambia County holds economic development summit
Escambia County commissioners pressed FloridaWest about its efforts to help businesses already established in the area.
Escambia County holds economic development summit Escambia County commissioners pressed FloridaWest about its efforts to help businesses already established in the area. Check out this story on pnj.com: http://on.pnj.com/2piXhpG

After only a partial presentation by FloridaWest Economic Development Alliance about job growth in the Pensacola region, several members of the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners pressed the organization Tuesday about its efforts to not only recruit new businesses but to also help those already in the area.
FloridaWest CEO Scott Luth briefed the board on his organization's top priorities, which include adding companies to the region's aviation, manufacturing and information technology sectors. Then Commissioner Steven Barry shifted the focus to how the agency assists companies that are already established.
Specifically, Barry wanted the organization to more heavily emphasize helping existing businesses expand.
"We're much more likely to gain expansion of a company that has capital on the ground than we are to attract someone that does not have a footprint here," he said. "I don't hear that said much, and I don't know that I see that as a focus here."
More:Economic developers target industries for job growth
Barry later continued by stressing that in focusing more on the region's businesses, he also hoped to see a stronger line of communication between FloridaWest and the county commissioners. When existing companies face obstacles like finding property for new facilities, he pledged commissioners would proactively try to help.
"We're much more likely to gain expansion of a company that has capital on the ground than we are to attract someone that does not have a footprint here"
Steven Barry, Commissioner
"Our board has for a number of years been very supportive of any initiative that has come before us that we can do that directly affects job production," Barry said. "If those conversations are happening, that's a big part of it."
Luth, whose organization is the region's primary economic development organization, explained that FloridaWest has already made about 50 appointments this year with existing companies in the area to gauge how the agency could lend support. He said the most common sentiment expressed by local employers is that the region must still grow its qualified workforce, which starts at the educational level.
The organization has already taken steps to address that. It has worked with the Escambia County School District to boost the number of career academies available at the county's public schools, which now total more than 60 academies in various subjects across a combined 15 high schools and middle schools. It has also worked to assist the University of West Florida and Pensacola State College with aligning programs to meet local industry needs.
Luth said after the meeting that his organization's priorities — growing the area's aviation, maintenance and cybersecurity sectors — should add companies while aiding existing ones.
"Those strategies include developing a community that both our existing industry and any new future industry can be successful," he said.

Before Luth's presentation to the board, Zach Jenkins, director of the Haas Center for Business Research & Economic Development at UWF, presented a statistical breakdown of the county's demographics.
He reported the county has a surplus of workers with two-year degrees and certifications, but it must increase the number of those with at least a bachelor's degree. He also said that in terms of economic development, officials must prioritize both existing companies and attracting new businesses.
"If you're going to try to attract outside companies and they're seeing companies that aren't being taken care of locally, that's a deterrent," Jenkins said. "To the extent that you're looking at outside companies, they're looking at all the things we're looking at. What's the business vitality in that region? Can I meet my workforce needs? What's the talent? What is the atmosphere of innovation and entrepreneurship?"
Because the commissioners rearranged items on their agenda that shifted the session on the region's economy to the end of the meeting, FloridaWest did not finish its presentation. Commissioners agreed to reschedule it to a future meeting.

How to manually update Drivers on Windows 10?
Posted on February 28, 2021 June 8, 2021 by kamlesh
With the default configuration of Windows 10, it automatically downloads and installs device driver software. But if Windows Update is not updating the device drivers automatically or you feel that it is not updated with the latest drivers and want to update the device drivers manually, this post will help you do it. You don't need to search for the newer version of the drivers from the manufacturer's website or manually download it.
With the Device Manager of Windows 10, you can manually check and update the device drivers easily. You can check if a newer version of the driver available for a selected device and then download and install it, if available.
As said above, by default Windows 10 automatically installs the latest drivers with Windows updates if you have not stopped through Group Policy or Registry Editor.
If you have not stopped Windows 10 from automatically updating drivers, you likely have the latest version of the driver software. However, if you wish to check the latest drivers, you can do through the device manager.
How to manually update Drivers on Windows 10 using Device Manager?
Step 1. Ensure your computer is connected to the internet, then click on the Start menu of Windows 10 and type Device Manager. From the available search result, click on the "Device Manager" to launch it.
Step 2. Under the Device Manager window, expand the category under which the device whose driver you would like to update.
Step 3. Right-click on the device whose driver you would like to update and then click the option Update driver.
Step 4. After clicking on the "Update driver" option, the "Update Drivers" window will open. Click on the first link, "Search automatically for drivers."
Step 5. Windows 10 will search online to check if an updated version of the driver software is available. If an updated driver is available, it will be downloaded and installed on your computer. In case your PC will be unable to find the latest drivers or already installed the latest drivers, you will get a prompt, "The best drivers for your device are already installed."
Furthermore, it will provide a link to search for updated drivers on Windows Update. You can try to find and install the latest Windows Update drivers by clicking on the link "Search for updated drivers on Windows Update." It will take you to the Windows Update settings page, where you can download the latest Windows Update. If a driver's update is available, it will be downloaded with Windows Update and installed automatically.

(Amherst, NY) – Erie County Legislator Edward A. Rath III, R-Amherst, has partnered with Upstate New York Transplant Services to host a blood drive from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11 at The Northtown Center at Amherst, second floor, 1615 Amherst Manor Drive (the former Pepsi Center).
"I encourage all residents who are able to attend the blood drive and donate to Upstate New York Transplant Services, which holds several of these drives a month to meet all area residents' needs," Legislator Rath said.
It is extremely important that blood banks are adequately stocked but unfortunately there are times during the year when the need is great. Only one in 33 people are regular donors, and if all blood donors gave three times a year blood shortages would be a rare event, Legislator Rath added.
UNYTS ensures that local donations go to patients in need at local hospitals. Community blood banks concentrate on fulfilling the blood needs of a single region. Often as a result of this locally-driven operation, donation rates rise among the area population and costs decrease on the part of area purchasers.
Walk-ins are welcome. Donors must be at least 17 years old, or 16 with a signed parental consent form. The minimum weight requirement is110 pounds and donors must be in good health the day of the drive. Photo identification is required. For additional information, visit www.unyts.org.
All presenting donors will receive a coupon for a free appetizer from Applebee's at the drive.
To speak with Legislator Rath, please call 633-0617 or e-mail Edward.rath@erie.gov.
