In development: a digital archive of Inuit history. "Led by Dr. Tom Gordon, the project, called Tradition & Transition Among the Labrador Inuit, will bring together 100 Inuit people and researchers to build the archive in Inuktitut, German, and English."
The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) has released its first Primary Source Sets for education. "These sets were developed and reviewed by a new Education Advisory Committee for use by students and teachers in grades 6-12 and higher education. Each set includes an overview, ten to fifteen primary sources, links to additional resources, and a teaching guide. This project was generously funded by the Whiting Foundation."
WordPress 4.4 Beta 1 is now available. It sounds like embedding is going to get a lot easier for those of us who are using hosted WordPress and have limited plugin/scripting options – "WordPress can now embed rich content from nearly all sites that support the oEmbed standard — not just YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, and the like. You can even embed previews of posts from other WordPress sites by pasting the URL on its own line."
The Obama administration has created another issue-specific Twitter account — this time climate change. "Continuing the Obama administration's push towards environmental reform, this week the White House launched a new social media initiative, a Twitter account called @FactsOnClimate."
Very interesting event at Texas A&M today – Using Tech, Social Media To Observe, Archive Social Movement. "Some Texas A&M students and faculty will use live streaming and social media to observe and archive the RiseUp! October march against mass incarceration in New York City on Saturday (Oct. 24). Texas A&M participants will use state-of-the-art technology in the Humanities Visualization Space, located in the Liberal Arts and Arts & Humanities (LAAH) building, including a group of 15 screens that are 17 inches wide, to livestream the event and monitor multiple social media outlets simultaneously." There will be followup events to analyze and archive the data gathered. Read it; fascinating setup.
Is Twitter going to renable Politwhoops? "…under co-founder Dorsey's leadership, Twitter is trying to mend relations with its developers. Dorsey even apologized to developers yesterday, and referenced some of the company's more controversial decisions – including the shutdown of Politwoops." I think this would be a very smart move, though it wouldn't completely repair relationships with third-party developers. Twitter has A LOT of spadework to do in that regard.
Yahoo missed on its earnings. Kara Swisher breaks it down. "One disturbing trend: An $86 million loss from operations totaled in the quarter, in contrast to $42 million of income a year ago. If you back out certain fees that have little to do with the core business, it gets worse." I have fond memories of Yahoo. I used to have great hopes for Yahoo. But it's time to stick a fork in it; it's done..
Google Photos is gaining some traction, so Google is celebrating with some cool facts about Google Photos. Since splitting off from G+, it's slightly easier to use, but still not as easy as when it was Picasa. I would love to put some of the graphics I regularly use into a photo album, but it's so annoying to deal with that I've just e-mailed them to myself with a particular keyword and then look for that keyword.
Apparently Bing is now profitable. It probably says something about me (something not particularly good) that my first thought was "Now Google can legitimately use Bing as a plausible defense in an antitrust trial." "Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella remarked on the earnings call that Microsoft saw roughly $1 billion in search ad revenue for the quarter. He added that 'Windows 10 users [have asked] Cortana more than 1 billion questions.'"
SECURITY/LEGAL ISSUES
The government of Australia is considering using social media photos in its counterterrorism database. "In September, the justice minister, Michael Keenan, announced that the federal government would spend $18.5m to develop the national facial biometric matching capability, known simply as 'the capability'. Under questioning in Senate estimates on Tuesday night, senior officials from the attorney general's department said that photos could be pulled from social media sites and used in the new system."
Looks like Google/Alphabet's getting deeper into life science and biomedicine. "[Jessica] Mega's decision to move in March to Google was one in a string of announcements by top-flight scientists and physicians who are enlisting in the mission, and pioneering a new type of career path in the process. Although academic researchers from fields such as computer science and engineering have led innovative Google projects (such as the Internet-connected eyewear known as Glass), Google and other technology companies are increasingly recruiting life scientists as Silicon Valley broadens its reach into health care."
LinkedIn has done some data mining and can now match your first name with a possible career. Find out what other people with your first name are doing. I put in my first name and found I might be a kindergarden teacher, dental hygeinst, or massage therapist. Nope. I put in "Terry," which is what some people think my name is, and I got Fire Chief, Police Chief, or semi-retired. Finally, I tried TJ, which some people call me, and got President, Vice-President, and Account Representative. (Note to self: change name to TJ.) Good morning, Internet…
I love your comments, I love your site suggestions, and I love you. Feel free to comment on the blog, or @ResearchBuzz on Twitter. Thanks!

Agenda item
Meeting of Planning & Development Policy Development Advisory Group, Thursday, 8th March, 2018 10.00 am (Item 32.)
· Local Plan Review
An update on the issues and options consultation on the Local Plan Review, which will focus on a review of the rural and economic strategies. Feedback from the PDAG is sought prior to consideration by Cabinet on 22 March.
· Gypsy and Traveller Site Allocations Development Plan Document
An update on the comments received on the current consultation, which ran from 1 December 2017 to 26 January 2018.
Local Plan Review – Issues and Options Consultation Draft
The Head of Strategic Planning reminded the group that the first stage of the Local Plan Review focussed on issues relating to employment, tourism and sustainable rural development. The draft consultation document included amendments that took into account the views of the PDAG which had been sought at previous meetings.
Key Employment Sites and sites put forward for employment use: The document included proposed amendments to existing KEAs, new KEAs and an assessment of sites that have been put forward for employment use. Although some sites were outside the built-up area, they were in sustainable locations close to infrastructure. It was noted that the area of land included in the consultation exceeded the anticipated area of employment land needed to fulfil the required targets.
Rural Strategy: Changes to Built-Up Area Boundaries were included in the document as well as a new suggested policy for 'secondary settlements', which were identified on plans. These are hamlets with limited services and facilities that have a sense of place. The policy would not propose development but it would allow for very small scale development when in accordance with all other policies. The need for some organic growth in smaller settlements, currently within the defined countryside emerged from the community when developing their Neighbourhood Plans. Members were advised that plans would be shared with relevant Ward Members and relevant Parish Councils notified before being considered by Cabinet.
Conversion of agricultural buildings to other uses: The Local Plan Review included a new draft policy regarding the conversion of unused agricultural buildings with a view to allowing conversion into other uses including commercial use and housing. The draft policy had been amended in the light of previous comments from the PDAG.
There was still concern that the policy could be too restrictive and officers agreed to review the draft policy in the light of this.
The group agreed that the draft Local Plan Review should be considered by Cabinet on 22 March prior to a seven week public consultation from 6 April 2018 to 25 May 2018.
Gypsy and Traveller Site Allocations Development Plan Document
The Head of Strategic Planning advised the group of the outcome of the six week public consultation on the draft site allocations document, which had ended on 26 January 2018. There had been 323 responses, a large majority of which were objections from members of the public to the proposed sites at Smithers Rough and Bromeliad Nurseries. Members noted details of these objections and other comments received, including six from statutory consultees.
Members were advised of the actions being taken by officers following consultation, and the proposed timetable for adoption, which included further consultation in the summer once the draft proposal had been agreed by Cabinet on 24 May and Council on 13 June 2018.
Members were assured that the proposed site allocations were anticipated to provide the 10 year requirement of pitches. The Cabinet Member highlighted the importance of the document in securing authorised sites.

Hurricane Florence brings Chef Jose Andres' relief group to NC. He's ready to feed people.
World Central Kitchen, the disaster relief group formed by famous chef Jose Andres, is already camped out and serving meals in North Carolina as Hurricane Florence approaches land.
Volunteers with the international organization team up with local chefs and kitchens and distribute meals to shelters. Between Raleigh and Wilmington, the organization is prepared to serve 150,000 meals, executive director Nate Mook said in an interview.
Mook said the sheer size of Hurricane Florence and its anticipated destruction drew the group to North Carolina. They arrived in Wilmington Tuesday and in Raleigh Wednesday and started serving meals Thursday.
"It was very clearly going to be a very large storm with the potential for a tremendous impact," Mook said.
Andres, named one of Time's Most Influential People, started World Central Kitchen in 2010 after a devastating earthquake in Haiti.
But the organization is likely best known for its work last year in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, when Andres and a team of volunteers served millions of meals, staying on the island for weeks after the storm. The efforts in Puerto Rico led to Andres receiving the James Beard Award for Humanitarian of the Year earlier this year.
While the relief group has become somewhat famous for its response to disasters, this will be the first one it will experience itself. Instead of arriving after the storm, Mook said World Central Kitchen thought they would have greater control if they arrived before the floodwaters determined mobility.
"It's something we learned from the challenges of Houston (and Hurricane Harvey)," Mook said. "Because of flooding, it was hard to get to some of the places that were most impacted."
With the storm lapping at the coast, Thursday's meals were largely served to first responders and any evacuees at nearby shelters. The bulk of the work will come once the rains come and go and the Carolinas will take its first stock of Hurricane Florence.
The Raleigh and Wilmington kitchens have backup generators and satellite phones and can serve between 25,000 and 40,000 meals per day. Backup kitchens are ready in Kinston, Jacksonville and Charleston, S.C., Mook said, but those have yet to be activated.
Mook said the group is in the state to bring the lessons it has learned from past disasters to scale them up for a large local response.
"We're software not hardware," Mook said. "This isn't an outside savior coming in and fixing things. We work with local partners, local farmers and suppliers and vendors, like Sysco here. We have the capacity, experience, resources, but we're reliant on working with local folks.

"You want to be able to support folks in the aftermath," Mook said. "A lot of folks left Wilmington, but a lot of folks are still here. There are a lot of things to worry about, but if we can take the concern of food off of people's plate, that's what we're here to do."
California-based Chef Tim Kilcoyne is running the Raleigh outpost for World Central Kitchen. He guessed this is the seventh disaster he's worked for the group, having responded to everything from volcanoes to wildfires.
"Obviously tomorrow is the day," Kilcoyne said. "Right now we don't know."
Andres is currently on a tour promoting the release of his book "We Fed an Island," recounting his work feeding Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Thursday and Friday he was booked on morning and evening talk shows from "CBS This Morning" to Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."
He also made headlines Thursday for criticizing President Trump on Twitter. Trump disputed the death toll in Puerto Rico, which the Puerto Rican government has reported as almost 3,000 people.
In response, Andres wrote on Twitter: "You are the face of"No shame"! That actually people died in the days, weeks and months after María, only shows how little you care. Those deaths happen on your watch."
But immediately after that, Mook said Andres will be in North Carolina, likely by Saturday morning.
"He's planning to be here, wherever the need is going to be," Mook said.

Dota 2 The International 2016: Teams Participating So Far
Abdullah Raza
The biggest eSports tournament, The International 2016, is only two months away. The event takes place in Seattle, Washington. Last year, at The International 5, we saw the prize pool reach a total of $18,429,613. No other eSports event has even come close to such numbers.
This year is no different, as the prize pool for TI6 has reached $12,000,000+ in just a month. With The International 6 quickly approaching, it's time to take a look at teams that will be participating at the event. So far, six teams have received direct invites to the event. OG, Team Liquid, Na'Vi, LGD Gaming, Newbee and MvP Phoenix have been invited to the event by Valve.
Last year's winners, Evil Geniuses did not receive a direct invite to the event. This is the first time in the tournament's history that the returning champions did not receive a direct invite from Valve. Evil Geniuses' last minute roster change forced Valve to take this decision. However, this does not mean Evil Geniuses will not be participating in The International 2016. Evil Geniuses will have to qualify for the event through the Open Qualifiers.
Team Secret, winners of the Shanghai Major, also had a roster change which means that they will also be going through the Open Qualifiers to qualify for the International 2016.
The Open Qualifier for China are already underway. The Open Qualifiers are scheduled to take place between June 21-24 while the Regional Qualifiers will take place between June 25-28. The top two teams of each qualifier will earn a slot in The International 2016. The third place team will travel to Seattle and fight for the last two slots in the Wildcards. Teams from the four major regions – Europe, America, China and Southeast Asia will play in the Regional Qualifiers.
The International 2016 takes place between August 2-13 in Seattle, Washington. Currently the prize pool for The International 2016 is at $12,414,553 and is expect to beat last year's prize pool of $18,429,613.

Wish #7: Jef Aerosol
10 Wishes for 2010, #7, Jef Aerosol
For ten days we're presenting ten artists and their wishes for the new year, 2010, in no particular order. Together, they are a tiny snapshot of the people who are part of the giant explosion of street art in New York. Individually, each has added their expression of the creative spirit to the decade now ending.
Today's wish comes from Jef Aerosol, who painted his first stencil in 1982 and is widely credited as being one of the original street artists in Paris, along with artists like Blek Le Rat and Miss Tic. January 2010 brings him to New York for "All Shook Up", a powerful new solo show of cultural icons at Ad Hoc in Brooklyn.
"I wish one very simple thing : let's all open our eyes and realize once and for good that all human beings on earth are brothers and sisters…
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one !"

En biología molecular, un ribointerruptor es un segmento regulatorio de una molécula de ARN mensajero que se une a una molécula pequeña, resultando en un cambio en la producción de las proteínas codificadas por el ARNm. Un riboswitch es un elemento del ARN mensajero que es sensitivo a los metabolitos, este tipo de moléculas predominan en la región 5' que no es traducida. Algunos biólogos han usado una definición más amplia que incluye otros ARN que funcionan como elementos reguladores en cis.

La mayor parte de los riboswitches conocidos se encuentran presentes en bacterias, pero los riboswitches funcionales de un tipo (el riboswitch TPP) han sido descubiertos en plantas y algunos hongos. Los riboswitches TPP también se han encontrado en arqueas, pero no han sido probados experimentalmente.

Los riboswitches son importantes en las bacterias debido a que es una manera a través de la cual han ido perfeccionando su habilidad de poder regular la producción de recursos a través de este método de regulación de la expresión génica que permite disminuir la pérdida de recursos.

Historia y descubrimiento de los riboswitches
Antes del descubrimiento de los riboswitches, el mecanismo por el cual algunos genes involucrados en múltiples rutas metabólicas eran regulados permanecía siendo un misterio. La acumulación de evidencia comenzó a sugerir la idea de que el ARNm involucrado podría unir metabolitos directamente, para poder afectar su propia regulación. Esta información incluyó estructuras secundarias de ARN conservado que se solían encontrar en las regiones no traducidas (UTR) de los genes relevantes y el éxito de procedimientos para crear pequeñas moléculas que se unen al ARN llamadas aptámeros. En 2002, se publicaron las primeras pruebas comprehensivas de múltiples casos de riboswitches, incluyendo de proteínas libres que se unen, y se establecieron como un nuevo método de regulación genética los riboswitches de unión de metabolitos.

Los primeros riboswitch que se estudiaron son aquellos que reconocen la vitamina B12 y provocan una disminución en la síntesis de esta vitamina. Cuando las concentraciones de esta vitamina son altas no es necesario continuar con la síntesis de dicha vitamina y esto produce la activación del riboswitch para poder detener la síntesis.

Mecanismos de los riboswitches
Los riboswitches se suelen dividir conceptualmente en dos partes: un aptámero y una plataforma de expresión. El aptámero se une directamente a la molécula pequeña, y la plataforma de expresión recibe cambios estructurales en respuesta a los cambios del aptámero. La expresión de la plataforma es lo que regula la expresión génica.

Las plataformas de expresión suelen detener la expresión génica en respuesta de la molécula pequeña, pero algunos la activan. Los siguientes mecanismos de riboswitches han sido demostrados experimentalmente.
 La formación controlada de la terminación intrínseca de la transcripción que lleva a una terminación prematura de la transcripción.
 La mediación del plegamiento bloquea el sitio de unión del ribosoma, lo cual inhibe la traducción.
 El riboswitch es un ribozima que se adhiere a sí misma en presencia de concentraciones suficiente de su metabolito.
 Las estructuras alternas del riboswitch afectan el splicing del pre-mARN.
  Un riboswitch TPP en plantas modifica el splicing y el procesamiento alternativo del extremo 3'.
  Un riboswitch en Clostridium acetobutylicum regula un gen adyacente que no es parte del mismo transcripto de mARN. En esta regulación el riboswitch interfiere con la transcripción del gen. El mecanismo es incierto pero puede ser causado por el choque entre dos unidades de ARN polimerasa que transcriben simultáneamente el mismo DNA.
  Un riboswitch en Listeria monocytogenes regula la expresión de su gen subsiguiente. Sin embargo, los transcriptos de riboswitch subsecuentemente modulan la expresión de un gen localizado en cualquier otro lado en el genoma. Esta regulación trans ocurre por medio del apareamiento de bases hacia el mARN del gen distal.

Whether we like it or not, we are all set in a frame and subject to authority at some level. Jesus modeled the path of subjection, taking on the identity of not only a man but a slave, putting himself under men and never considering being equal to God something to be held onto. Ultimately He became obedient unto death, so God exalted Him, bestowing on Him the name that is above every name. Do you chafe at authority, at the frame that God has placed you in, or do you understand that the path to EXALTATION is through SUBMISSION and OBEDIENCE to the Father?

Blind Bargains Top 10 Stories of 2011: 9. The LookTel Money Reader
J.J. Meddaugh Dec 30, 2011 12:14 PM ET
We're continuing our look at the top stories of 2011. Our panel of Blind Bargains and Serotek contributors each independently submitted their votes for the top stories of the year. This year's panel included Joe Steinkamp, Jamie Pauls, Kevin Reeves, Matt McCubbin, and J.J. Meddaugh. Here are our earlier stories in case you missed them. We're counting down the top stories of the year over the next week, and will announce the number one live on Serospectives next thursday. Number 9 involves one of the most influencial apps of the year.
In 2009, the first ever story on our first year-end look back involved the iBill. At the time, we wrote, "While the ability to accurately identify money is nothing new, the price point is certainly attention-grabbing at under $100.." Well, if under $100 turned some eyebrows, under $2 took things to another level.
Earlier this year, Ipplex introduced the LookTel money identification app for iOS devices. For iPhone and other Apple device owners, it represented another melding of mainstream and assistive technology, as the app eliminated the need to carry around a one-task device for a single job. LookTel represents the early stages of a trend of mainstream devices performing tasks formerly relegated to dedicated devices. Apps to read BookShare titles and a promised way to read NLS books are further examples of this trend, which will surely continue into 2012. For breaking down another price barrier in accessibility, LookTel earns the number 9 stop in this year's countdown.

Astronomers spotted a planet that shouldn't exist
When we imagine what other solar systems are like it's easy to fall into a trap of assuming that our own system is a model that all others must follow. That's simply not the case, and astronomers know that solar systems come in all shapes and sizes, but even still, the system orbiting the star GJ 3512 is a real weirdo.
GJ 3512 is a tiny star. It's a red dwarf, and it's only around one-eighth the mass of our own Sun. Typically, stars are significantly larger than the planets that orbit them, and scientists would expect the world near a star like this would be pint-sized by comparison. As a new paper published in Science reveals, that couldn't be further from the truth.

Last week we looked briefly into how shame is planted into our lives. We chatted about what shame looks like, and how shame becomes internalized. Today, let's just look ahead at our healed self, what does shamelessness really look like.
It is worth explaining, because to someone who is shame based, they really have no idea what it feels like, or looks like to be shameless, and also, like in my case, anytime you step out into a situation with confidence, your shame tells you that you are an imposter, a fake, or you are prideful.
Today I have 5 characteristics of what living shameless is really like, and I want you to begin to picture yourself there, and celebrate if you already have accomplished it.
We talked the other day about the difference between healthy and unhealthy shame, so in reference for today, know that I am talking about being shame less in a healthy way, not a psychopathic, with little remorse kind of way.
What do you think it looks like to live without unhealthy shame?
To a person filled to their toes with shame there can be several ways they respond to correction, or in this case perfection. Either through acting perfect and resisting correction, so no one sees their truth. Or obsessively trying to "better" themselves, through endless repentance over their imperfections.
In Philippians 1:6 Who does it say will perfect us? Ourselves or God?
How does it describe the work being done in you?
God does not begrudgingly rebuke and fix, rebuke and fix. HE loves you, He is a creator and He loves to shape, refine and perfect his children, because His work is good. Imperfection is not seen as a character flaw to someone who is shameless. It is seen as an opportunity to grow. Also, to a shameless person, they are at peace to allow God to nudge the change and perfect them, not always digging for it.
2. They really love themselves. PRIDE ALERT! PRIDE ALERT!!!! If you are shameless you would have nodded your head, yes, love yourself, yes. If you are filled with shame, your reaction may have been to cringe and proclaim pride! I am going to let David deal with this lie.
What was David's response to knowing he was made by God?
How did David describe God's work?
Living shameless is to love ourselves, to see ourselves as wonderfully made, and a product of God's good work. Pride (and insert excessive selfie postings) is feeling that you are significant above all else. Shamelessness, tells you that you are significant because God is above all else.
Shame based people will often believe they are going to the throne of judgment, but what does Hebrew 4:16 say? What throne do we draw near to?
What will we receive when we draw near?
Changing our view on God when we go to Him, will not only increase how often we seek Him, but it will also increase the mercy and the grace He promises to us.
4. They feel they belong. A shameless person feels they are a part of something, not apart from something. Shameless people feel that they are a part of the bigger picture. A part of community, a part of their circle of friends, a part of their family. A shame based person feels like an outsider, an observer, or what we term the black sheep. Sure, some groups of people we just do not fit into, no matter how hard we try. However, a shame filled person can feel that in every circumstance, even in groups of people who share their exact likes and interests, or their work place, and even the church. Shame filled people always feel like they just don't fit. Where as a shameless person feels a sense of belonging because they love themselves and know that their differences does not exclude them from belonging.
What would be some of the difference between a Jew to a Greek? Or a slave to a free person?
What one things unites us all?
We are all what in Jesus Christ?
Learning to love ourselves and have peace in our uniqueness, helps us to know that we have something to offer to others. We become a contributor, and not only that, but when we love ourselves and our uniqueness, we love others and theirs as well. This is true unity. Slave or Free, we are all of one spirit.
Shame filled people are swingers. They can go to the extreme of having zero boundaries, letting people walk all over them, giving away their body like free candy, and never saying no. The other swing is by having so many walls and personal rules up that they make themselves untouchable. To a shameless person their boundaries are like a walled city, with a large front gate. They are protected enough that people don't come in and vandalize and rob, but they have an open door policy through the gate. Shameless people know how to give when they don't feel like it, and they know how to say no when they feel guilty.
lie? Which side do you tend to swing to?
Do not feel overwhelmed if you feel you have a long way to go now that we have looked at what being shameless looks like. Remember point #1, lets start there and look forward to God perfecting us, versus feeling ashamed of how far we have to go.

Q: How to define a query joining tables in two different databases I know how to write SQL to join tables in two databases but is there a way to do this in SQLyog.
This type of query gives a permissions error in that application.
SELECT
   DB1.table1.col1,
   DB2.table2.col2
FROM DB1.table1
JOIN DB2.table2
ON DB1.table1.commoncol1 = DB2.table2.commoncol2

Additional info
If I have open the tab for one database and run a query for another database (also open in its own tab)
ie
SELECT * FROM spixxxxxxx@51.195.123.67.databasename.tablename
where
spixxxxxxx@51.195.123.67 is the connection
databasename is the database name
tablename is the table name
then I get the error
Error Code: 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '@51.195.123.67.databasename.tablename' at line 1

Back ticks don't help and I get the same problem if I leave out the connection altogether (as I would expect)

A: do you think is that something do with running the application in sudo mode , so the problem of perimission would take place

I am definitely on a mushroom kick lately. Whether it's shitakes, Hen of the Woods, Porchinis, Creminis, or buttons, they are all equally hearty and yummy and work in all sorts of recipes. They are especially delicious in risotto. This earthy and robust fall risotto is packed with wild mushrooms and roasted butternut squash. It is silky and creamy and perfect for a vegetarian main or a hearty side. Although it is slow to make and requires a lot of attention, I find that it is absolutely always worth it. I also find it to be extremely nurturing. Even though the base is nutritionally inferior white rice, it is slowly infused with hot mineral-rich broth, which releases the starch and makes it extremely nutritionally beneficial and immune supporting. Through in a bunch of veggies and you have yourself a nutritional powerhouse! Enjoy!
Preheat oven to 450°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place squash on the baking sheet, drizzle with 1½ tablespoon olive oil and ¼ teaspoon salt. Arrange in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and tender, stirring after 10 minutes. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ of mushrooms and sprinkle with salt. Sauté mushrooms until tender and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to medium bowl. Working in batches, repeat with remaining mushrooms, until all mushrooms are sauteed.
Melt remaining 1½ tablespoons butter and 1½ olive oil in a heavy, large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add leek, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt, and sauté until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice and increase heat to medium. Stir until edges of rice begin to look translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add white wine and stir until liquid is absorbed about 3 minutes. Add ¾ cup warm chicken broth; stir until almost all broth is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Continue adding broth by ¾ cupfuls, stirring until almost all broth is absorbed before adding more until rice is tender but still firm to bite and risotto is creamy about 30 minutes total. Stir in mushrooms, butternut squash, parsley, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon butter. Gently stir to mix well. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
Transfer risotto to a serving bowl and serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

I want to tell you why Netflix's Love on the Spectrum isn't inspirational
New documentary series shows autism dating journey
The Promise—and Pitfalls—of Netflix's New Reality Dating Show for Autistic People
'Love On The Spectrum' Is A Dating Show That Won't Make You Feel Icky Inside
Netflix Orders Unscripted Indian Matchmaking Series and Autism Dating Show (EXCLUSIVE)
Netflix's 'Love on the Spectrum' Shows Authentic Dating For Those With Autism
Date with autism
Is 'Selling Sunset' Fake? Chrissy Teigen Questions if Agents are Real. The Australian series follows a rotating cast of singles as they juggle their love lives with life on the spectrum. The Gist: Love on the Spectrum is a docuseries that follows a group of singles on the autism spectrum as they navigate dating. The first episode focuses on the dating lives of Michael—who attends a singles mixer run by a local disabilities organization—and Chloe—who goes on a date with a guy and a girl, both on the spectrum as well. The first episode also tells the quirky love story of engaged couple Thomas and Ruth, who love public transit and collecting business cards. Love on the Spectrum originally aired in Australia last fall, where it won over audiences with its big heart and its awkward, un-produced moments. One immediately assumes that Love on the Spectrum is going to be as exploitative of people with autism as Too Hot to Handle was exploitative of vapid Instagram influencers.
The Undateables is a British TV documentary series that follows a range of people on dates who have long term conditions, including: disabilities , developmental disorders , and learning difficulties. The series works in conjunction with the dating agency, Flame Introductions , and is broadcast on Channel 4. There have been 53 episodes since the documentary first aired on 3 April , split into eleven separate series and a few additional episodes.
Here's your need-to-know on the show. "We're telling autistic stories via the lens of dating and relationships, but really, it's about getting to.
Love on the Spectrum is an Australian reality television show produced by Northern Pictures for the ABC [1] , and currently available to stream on Netflix. Love on the Spectrum first aired on the ABC in [5] , and was released to other territories on Netflix in July The show has received positive reviews from critics. It was awarded 4 out 5 stars by Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian , saying that "at its best, this show is a compassionate, human celebration of difference, and of love. And about something more interesting than contempt.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Northern Pictures. Retrieved Chicago Tribune. The Wrap.
It hit the spot, and suited these animalistic times. But it deserves a big U. Some of the touches, in other words, belong to reality shows far less interesting than this one. The subjects directly address the camera operator in many scenes.
autism spectrum as they explore the unpredictable world of love, dating and husband who's also on the spectrum, I would definitely recommend this show.
A t first glance, Love on the Spectrum Netflix appears to be an Australian version of The Undateables, without the crude name, and specific to following the dating lives of people on the autism spectrum. While I continue to love The Undateables, this five-part newcomer feels more of its moment, taking the time to explore the lives of its participants in greater depth, which results in a programme filled with joy, warmth and insight.
It is frequently very funny, but crucially, that is never at the expense of anyone on camera. Looking for love can be complicated and absurd for anyone, and the programme highlights some of the pitfalls. He frequently amuses his family because of his bluntness. His father drops his food as he eats. Throughout Love on the Spectrum, the parents are wonderful, supportive and compassionate, particularly when it comes to giving dating advice.
Chloe is on the spectrum and is partially deaf, and she talks of being terribly bullied in school. When she goes on a date, her eager father tries to calm her nerves, telling her that if she needs some time out while on the date, she should say she is going to powder her nose. In the end, it turns out that perhaps Chloe was looking in the wrong place for a partner.
What is lovely about this series, compared to other dating shows, is that it gives everyone it follows the time to develop their stories in detail. This has enough time and space for it to feel like less of a surface intrusion. We find out what happens next in the very next episode. Dating shows can be curiously lacking in love, sometimes; the pursuit of love does not always equal the winning of it.

This is me: a year-old woman with high cheekbones, cool-girl style, and over 4, followers on Instagram. My fans say I have a killer fashion sense, while my friends love me for my bubbly personality. Still, dating has never been easy because this is also me: a woman on the autism spectrum. Diagnosed when I was 2 years old, being autistic has been a huge part of all my relationships, romantic or otherwise.
Each case lies on a spectrum that ranges from high-functioning to low-functioning. But dating is a different beast altogether.
Netflix's newest dating show takes a look at people with autism exploring love and relationships. Love on the Spectrum is now streaming.
And last week, it was with Love on the Spectrum , an Australian reality-show-cum-docuseries that follows a group of single adults on the autism spectrum as they explore the dating world. Love on the Spectrum is built like a typical dating show: We meet the 11 daters, and their friends and families, and follow them in various dating scenarios speed dating, blind dates, etc. Overall, Love on the Spectrum does something that is curiously absent in a genre that is ostensibly about love, which is actually showing it.
Take Ruth and Thomas, who are engaged and recently got married. They have a ton of chemistry, and a supportive, loving, and very sexy relationship, which they talk about openly. This is problematic in a lot of ways, many of which I only realized after reading feedback from a neurodiverse audience. For instance, how all of the dates were strictly between autistic people, and how ridiculous the cutesy music is for a dating show about adults.
Romantic love, yes, but also self-love, familial love, and love between friends and communities.
When it comes to feel-good shows for the summer, it doesn't get much better than Netflix's Love on the Spectrum. It's a reality TV dating show that focuses solely on people who are on the autism spectrum. Each episode highlights one or two different singles and, in two cases, couples, and their journey to find love. Given that those on the spectrum have difficulty in social situations, dating is pretty challenging.
stereotypical format of a reality dating show and explores love and relationships through the eyes of young people on the autism spectrum.
As entertaining as it is to watch two women fight over a champagne bottle , dating shows like The Bachelor tend to feature predominantly white, straight, non-disabled contestants who only reflect one portion of the population. Netflix's Love on the Spectrum is aiming to change that, following a mix of autistic singles and couples as they navigate dating and relationships.
The show only premiered on July 22, but it looks like Love on the Spectrum Season 2 is already underway: applications for a second season opened in late June. The dating docuseries initially aired in Australia in November , and it was one of the most popular shows in the country that fall: according to MediaWeek, its finale episode drew in over , viewers, making it the No. In the process, it's helped to push back against a number of misconceptions surrounding dating on the autism spectrum: chiefly, that autistic people aren't interested in dating and romance.
It's those lack of tools and resources that inspired producer and director Cian O'Clery to make Love on the Spectrum. Love On The Spectrum changes that. Throughout the series, the singles attend dating workshops and get advice from relationship expert Jodi Rodgers as they go on various dates. You'll have to watch the full season to find out if any of them found love, but hopefully the cast will keep the updates coming after the show, because it could be a while before Season 2 makes its way to screen.
There were about nine months between the time Love on the Spectrum began casting and when it aired in Australia, which means it will likely air abroad in March
They ill-prepare young viewers for the dating world with superficial themes and unrealistic expectations for relationships that often end right after the cameras cut. We also meet Chloe, a partly deaf bisexual who is cautiously and meticulously trying to determine whether she prefers dating men or women throughout the course of the show.
Kelvin lives at home with his Asian single dad, while designing computer renderings of his ideal partner and writing elaborate fan fiction in his journal with much creativity. Maddi is a bit more advanced and extroverted, making spot-on sarcastic remarks and rolling her eyes at her insufferable parents, who give her aggressive dating advice. Mark is obsessed with dinosaurs and wants to become a paleontologist, speaking in a slow, methodical way that might be misconstrued as nerdy by non-dino enthusiasts.
Most adorable are Sharnae and Jimmy, who have just moved in together after three years of dating.
Seven singles take their first steps into the world of dating; this uplifting four-part documentary follows young adults on the autism spectrum as they explore the.
The series follows young adults with autism as they navigate the world of dating with the support of dating experts. I hope this series will start conversations, help bring about understanding and acceptance, and ultimately inspire people with autism, their families and society at large to find ways to help people on the spectrum find love.

As an autistic year-old with minimal dating experience , my guard immediately went up when I heard about Love on the Spectrum — a new Netflix dating show featuring autistic teens and somethings. I was right to be hesitant. This show treats autistic people like me as separate from the rest of society, and as inspiration porn for people to feel better about their own dating lives. In this sense, I was easily able to relate to the autistic people in the series.
We see them stimming — short-hand for self-stimulating, which is repetitive movements, actions or use of fidget toys to regulate ourselves — and expressing their feelings about different aspects of being autistic. We have personalities that shine through just like the rest of the population.
Netflix's latest reality effort follows the lives of people on the autism spectrum in detail, with warmth, insight and joy.
But otherwise, it was perfect. My partner and I spent the day hiking in the woods and wading in the Patapsco River in Maryland. He just handed me a small ring box and smiled like the sun. Anecdotally, many parents worry about whether their autistic children will ever find love. I know my parents did. And that can be a major source of anxiety for our families, and even more so for ourselves.
No one gets voted off the island. No one is told to pack their anime figurines and go. One issue I have with the show is how unrealistic it is. Olivia, a fiery-haired woman who loves Harry Potter and her theater company, claims at one point that only 5 percent of autistic people ever find love. The data are scarce. The factoid probably came from a study of mid-life social outcomes, which found that 5 percent of the autistic participants had been married at least once.
Also, even those marriage results may be skewed: The age range for the study, from 22 to 51 years old, was quite broad, and it would be unusual for a year-old to have ever been married, whether the person is autistic or not.

The ADN model relies upon software-defined networking (SDN), which removes network control from hardware and implements it in software instead to enable dynamic management of network resources.
In an application-defined networking environment, applications would be coded for interconnection to network software and infrastructure through application-program interfaces (APIs). Administrators would prioritize applications and determine constraints and applications would dictate their resource requirements within those constraints to optimize application delivery.
App-aware networking is a related concept in which intelligent networks maintain information about application status and requirements to optimize application delivery, while still retaining control of resource allocation and configuration.

Syria Daily, Jan 9: UN Envoy Meets Regime Officials in Damascus
Saturday, January 9, 2016 at 11:53 | Scott Lucas in EA Syria
PHOTO: The UN special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura
Mass Casualties from Russian Airstrike in Idlib Province
Opposition Criticizes UN Statement Over Starving Madaya
400 Syrians Forced to Return from Lebanon
Pursuing an international proposal for a resolution to Syria's crisis, UN envoy Staffan de Mistura met President Assad's officials in Damascus on Saturday.
De Mistura saw Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem about "preparations for the [international] meeting scheduled on January 25th". Syrian State media said al-Moallem demanded that opposition and rebel factions be labelled as "terrorist", precluding their involvement in negotiations.
Three sets of international talks, spurred by Russia's military intervention on behalf of the regime, have been held since mid-November. The final round in New York on December 18 presented a proposal for ceasefires, opposition-regime negotiations, a new Constitution, and elections in an 18-month transition. It made no statement about the future of President Assad and his leading officials.
Earlier in the week, the UN envoy met representatives of the opposition-rebel negotiating team named last month. A statement from the head of the team, former Prime Minister Riad Hijab, emphasized preconditions for any talks with the regime. These include release of detainees from regime prisons, ceasefires with a halt to bombardment by Russian and Syrian air forces, and access to humanitarian aid.
A declaration by 21 rebel factions reiterated those preconditions on Friday.
De Mistura has also held talks in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, both backers of the opposition and rebels. After the Damascus meetings, he will travel to Assad's ally Iran.
Mass casualties are being reported from a Russian airstrike on the town of Maarat al-Nu'man in Idlib Province on Saturday.
Activists say more than 40 people have been killed, with scores wounded. Accounts vary on the exact target.

Maarat al-Numan, 33 km (22 miles) south of Idlib city, has been hit on several occasions since the Russian airstrikes began on September 30. In mid-December, scores were killed in a strike on an oil market.
The opposition Syrian National Coalition has criticized Thursday's UN announcement that aid will be delivered to Madaya, the town near Damascus where thousands are facing starvation amid a six-month siege by the Syrian military.
The Coalition sent a letter to the UN Security Council expressing regret at the welcome given to the Assad regime's permission to enter Madaya:
We profoundly regret the decision to welcome the Assad regime's announcement to grant UN agencies access to Madaya. It wrongly implies that the provision of humanitarian access is optional, rather than being a legal obligation.
The letter emphasized, "The use of starvation as a tool of war is a war crime, for which the Assad regime must be held accountable."
Madaya has received only one aid delivery, in October, during the siege that began when Hezbollah and regime forces tried to overrun nearby Zabadani. Assistance was supposed to be delivered in late December, as rebels, their families, and wounded were evacuated from the area, but it never reached the town.
At least 31 people among the estimated 40,000 population have died from starvation last month. Doctors have said that two to three people are now perishing each day.
The Coalition said, "More should be done to apply pressure on the regime, including through renewed look at the feasibility of drone-delivered air drops by those states currently conducting air operations against ISIS [the Isalmic State[ in Syria."
It warned that more residents will die before aid is permitted into Madaya on Monday.
The weekly protest in Kafranbel in northwest Syria also criticizes the UN and the Assad regime over the crisis:
Meanwhile, Iran has shown concern over the growing attention to the crisis and the effect on the Assad regime. Fars News, the outlet of the Revolutionary Guards, publishes a lengthy article blaming Saudi media for the story:
Not even a single person informed of news and developments can accept that Saudi Arabia is concerned about people's lives in Madaya, while attacking and slaughtering innocent civilians in Sana'a and Sa'da in Yemen with different missiles, cluster bombs and US and UK-made ammunition.
Four hundred Syrians, trying to fly to Turkey, have been forced to return to Damascus from Beirut airport in Lebanon.
The passengers were turned back because of new Turkish regulations that require Syrians to have a visa to enter the country by air or sea. The rules came into effect on Friday.
More than 160 of the passengers were taken off planes that were about to depart.
Border crossings between Syria and Lebanon had been crowded in recent days with people intending to travel to Turkey, ahead of the deadline.
Amnesty International, which criticized the return of the passengers, said that they were scheduled to fly to Turkey on Thursday, but their flights were canceled.

Heroin Bob's Son is Losing It in 'Punk's Dead: SLC Punk! 2' Trailer
by Ethan Anderton
"I thought you guys had no rules. I thought you lived life and took risks and fucked systems." We've already seen a teaser trailer for the surprise follow-up to the cult classic SLC Punk!, but now the full trailer for the indie sequel Punk's Dead: SLC Punk! 2 has arrived. Heroin Bob's son Ross (Ben Schnetzer) is the focus this time, and it looks like he's having some kind of existential crisis. But it looks like his father will offer some slices of wisdom from beyond the grave, and there's other familiar faces like Devon Sawa, Michael Goorjian, Adam Pascal and James Duval. It seems to have its heart in the right place. Watch!
Here's the full trailer for Punk's Dead: SLC Punk! 2 from the film's YouTube page:
You can still watch the teaser trailer for Punk's Dead: SLC Punk! 2 right here.
Punk's Dead: SLC Punk! 2 is written and directed by James Merendino. 18 years later, Bob is still dead, but Trish from the Bong Shop, Stevo, Sean the Beggar, John the Mod, crazy Mark and tree hugger Mike are arrogantly saving the world for another generation…or they are at least trying. Get ready to find out what happened to your favorite characters, as we take you to the pivotal events in their lives since SLC Punk!. Holding it all together will be the misadventures and observations of one of their offspring, an eccentric kid named Ross, the Spawn of Heroin Bob and more. Hannah Marks and Ben Schnetzer join returning cast members Devon Sawa, Michael Goorjian, Adam Pascal and James Duval in the film with no release date yet.
This is proof that not everything needs a sequel. This director has mired in mediocrity for nearly 20 years so now he cashes in on his one "hit" and tries desperately to turn it into a franchise. The sequel nobody asked for... and I'm guessing it's the sequel nobody will watch.

Emails about the United States' presidential election have been coming in for well over a year, and now that two individuals have been designated as their parties' presumptive nominees, my mother's inbox is filling with questions about who will win. Based on the ever-accelerating vibrations that are undergirding people with moral and spiritual integrity and exposing those who lack that quality, we are seeing the likelihood that neither of the presumptive nominees will become president, Senator Bernie Sanders will. If the vibratory momentum continues, the likelihood of his winning will keep moving toward certainty in Earth's energy field of potential and in November, the voters will elect a wise, honest president.
Higher dimensions are real, and it isn't entirely correct to say that 3D is just a projection of one's consciousness. Whatever a person believes, however far from factual it may be, is that person's reality, and most likely you would get a serious argument from anyone whom you tried to convince that what he or she believes is "just a projection of your consciousness." However, what seems real in your 3D world is a "dream," or better said, an illusion, and we can explain this no more clearly than it was in a message several years ago. Mother, please find that message and copy the pertinent part. We think it will be especially helpful to awakening souls and perhaps to long-time lightworkers, too.
The illusion is, according to one's religious affiliation, that the Supreme Being of this universe is correctly portrayed only byyour religion and His laws as interpreted by your religion are absolute. The reality is that the Supreme Being of this universe is subordinate to Creator, the Supreme Being of the cosmos; God is an amalgamation of all souls, all life forms, throughout this universe and He knows every thought and feels every feeling of every life; He cannot interfere with Creator's law of free will when souls veer from their pre-birth agreements, so it is not His "will be done"; although we commonly say "He," God, or the Source by your name selection, is the epitome of androgyny, perfectly balanced male and female energies; and He didn't devise religions—a few of his misguided god-self parts did.
Suicide bombers who are adults when they decide to become terrorists act upon a radically distorted sense of empowerment that is bereft of caring about the consequences for others. In addition to an extremely painful lifetime review, suffering exactly as did all persons whose lives were affected by their self-destruction, they will experience one or more difficult lifetimes in a low third density civilization where the karmic merry-go-round is going full tilt. That self-consignment isn't determined only by these individuals' final act; it is that the energy of their desire to kill as many people as possible and of the act itself is so dark that it supersedes all other aspects of their lifetimes.
Loss of faith in the future of humanity is an understandable reaction to violence when people you know have been directly affected, and while you may not think of "detachment" from the world as a form of divine grace, it is—it is giving the heart and mind a respite from shock and despair and sadness. In such times, it is difficult to think of a life after this one and derive any comfort from what may seem only a nebulous idea, that there is a glorious spirit world of love and peace. But holding fast to that reality is what will uplift the spirit and restore faith in humankind's determination and ability to make this world a far better place than it is this moment. Beloved brothers and sisters, please do not doubt that this transformation within Earth's civilizationis happening!
Now I am speaking just as Matthew to say that stress made its way into our last message. Attributing the devastation of Haiti to a hurricane instead of an earthquake was a rare instance of my mother's thought—and a lapse in your memory, Mother—overriding my transmission. She is dismayed that the week of stress about her computer's technical difficulties, which blocked her site and email address, permitted her momentary departure from clearly hearing my words.

Atesci: A Story of Success in the Design and Production of Ammunition Machines
You can read the news article published in the DSEI'19 Special Issue of MSI Turkish Defence Review here:
Atesci is a manufacturer of ammunition production machines. Atesci has been in this field of ammunition business for over 17 years. In the early years Atesci started by manufacturing lead-based products for the hunting industry. Its first products were lead shots, buckshot and slugs and it commercialized these products in domestic and international markets. Besides all these Atesci has designed and developed a lead processing plant of its own, for the main material of hunting ammunition is lead wire. Lead wire extrusion plant was among the first machinery that led Atesci into being a machine producer. With its unique design of lead shot production plant Atesci enjoyed the taste of being an inventor and a designer. This success was followed by other machinery used in the production of hunting ammunition.
Realizing the surge of demand for machinery in the ammunition production industry, Atesci changed its attention towards designing and manufacturing those machinery. So Atesci made its first expansion in the field of design capacity by restructuring the company as an engineering design company. After the successful addition of this design team into its ranks Atesci started collecting the fruits of new machinery designs. Due to their unique designs, this machinery became highly demanded in domestic and international markets in a short time. In complement to design accomplishments, lead based ammunition components also laid the way for Atesci to enter the military ammunition industry.
FMJ Press Comes into Life
Taking into account the lead-based component demands of the Defence Industry, Atesci diversified its product range with a series of ammunition machinery such as Lead Core Press, Case Grooving and Trimming machines. Accumulating experience over time Atesci steered itself towards designing a more complicated machine of Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) press of its own which contributed a lot to Atesci's machinery inventory. Subsequently, Atesci took part in the production of ammunition components such as FMJ bullets based on the demand in the market. This process went on for several years after 2012 which provided Atesci with invaluable experience on manufacturing ammunition components with machines of its own design and production. After getting involved in ammunition production by operating the machinery Atesci itself designed and manufactured, its machinery collection kept on growing with each passing day, thanks to the experience and knowledge attained.
Meanwhile Atesci designed, manufactured and supplied a large number of individual machines from its early inventory to all around the world including USA, Canada and European countries. Atesci machines are now running in various companies in Indiana, Wisconsin, Idaho, Arkansas and Utah in the USA an also in Canada, Italy, Russia, Pakistan, Bosnia Herzegovina, Hungary, Philippines, India, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, El Salvador and Namibia.
Complete Ammunition Lines
In the course of time accumulating all and necessary competence, Atesci indulged more in designing and building other machines that an ammunition production line is composed of. First machines to follow the FMJ press were loading machines, annealing and washing units. In 2016 Atesci has completed the 9×19 mm cartridge line including case, FMJ and loading sections with all their machinery as its own design and production. In 2017 state of Qatar presented Atesci with the opportunity as the country launched an initiative to build an ammunition production plant for small and medium calibres. Atesci diligently manufactured all necessary machinery for 9×19 and 5.56×45, 7.62×51 and 7.62×39 mm ammunition production lines and completed their installations successfully.
Atesci presently has the capacity to build interlinking ammunition lines by manufacturing all the machinery, presses and automated machines as well as the mould and punch sets that are part of those machinery. As a result of this competence Atesci won its second state tender of 9×19 mm ammunition production line from KOF of Pakistan. The line is under construction and installation is planned to be started as of January 15, 2020.
Affordable Costs, Reliable Quality and Short Lead Times
Since 2017 Atesci has concentrated on turn-key projects for ammunition production lines. Being a relatively new member of an old established ammunition industry of the 19th century, Atesci is in the market now competing with prominent fellow companies in all respects by taking advantage of its internal dynamism, design superiority and being located in the in the hearth of Turkey's defence industry in Ankara. In addition to affordable costs and reliable quality with shorter lead times Atesci added one more aspect to this competition by designing and developing all of the machinery of an ammunition production line. This capability provides a potential customer to acquire everything required to start ammunition production from only one supplier including supporting machinery which are usually outsourced such as 100% Inspection Unit, Mouth Annealing Unit, Tip painting Unit, Eye Inspection Unit, Packaging Unit etc. All these advantages enable Atesci to offer faster and cost-effective solutions in comparison to its competitors. Atesci keeps a close eye on the market and is well aware of the current needs and requirements in the sector.
Atesci is situated in the largest Industrial Zone of the region in Ankara, which houses more than 20,000 factories, with access to hundreds of subcontractors in this region. Designing all the machinery and equipment in-house, it assembles the mechanical parts, which are outsourced to outstanding and qualified subcontractors. Quality control standards are vigorously applied in every stage throughout the production and assembly processes, ensuring that the final products are well above the customer's expectations. Despite being a relatively new company, Atesci has reached a position where it can compete with long established ammunition line producers by taking advantage of its internal dynamism, design superiority and co-location in the Industrial Zone. These advantages enable the company to offer faster and cost-effective solutions in comparison to its competitors.
Atesci participates in defence exhibitions of IDEF in Istanbul, DSEI in London, Eurosatory in Paris and DSA Kuala Lumpur once every two years and every year in the exhibitions of Shot Show in Las Vegas and IWA in Germany and exhibits its machinery for visitors in a close follow-up on the latest developments and progresses. Atesci also attends to international trade shows of the Defence and Weapons Industry. Realizing large ammunition production line projects in the international arena, Atesci provides services on installation of ammunition factories, their modernizations and capacity increases.
With the progress Atesci is accomplishing every year and relying on its creativity and dynamic design capabilities it is aiming for the sky. So, Atesci intends to take a better stance in the ammunition sector by evolving into a versatile, multifaceted and multidisciplinary company. This means that Atesci displays this new approach of being a provider of complete lines in all aspects. Coupling with the Integrated Project Approach or Holistic Approach all these will develop the company into a solution partner in provision of all other elements in addition to machinery.

Alex Rodriguez will be suspended through at least the 2014 season in an announcement Monday by Major League Baseball, two people with direct knowledge of the plan told USA TODAY Sports.
CHICAGO -- Alex Rodriguez will be suspended through at least the 2014 season in an announcement Monday by Major League Baseball, but the New York Yankees third baseman plans to file an immediate appeal, enabling him to play Monday night against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field, two people with direct knowledge of the plan told USA TODAY Sports.
Rodriguez is one of about 10 major leaguers who will be suspended, but he is the only player that will be banned beyond this season.
MLB officials informed Rodriguez's attorneys and the Major League Players Association of their decision to suspend the players, and told Rodriguez that he no longer is able to discuss a settlement, according to the two people, who were unauthorized to speak publicly before the scheduled announcement.
Rodriguez will be suspended for at least 214 games under terms of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, costing him about $34 million, but likely will avoid a lifetime ban by Commissioner Bud Selig for allegedly violating the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The penalty would make Rodriguez ineligible to play until the 2015 regular season, the biggest punishment against a player or manager since Pete Rose agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 for gambling.
Rodriguez, 38, plans to file an appeal that will be heard within three weeks by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. Selig could invoke his powers as commissioner to keep Rodriguez from playing until the appeal is heard, but that could prompt Rodriguez to file a lawsuit against the league and the players union to submit a grievance.
"I hope he throws Rodriguez out for life," former commissioner Fay Vincent told USA TODAY Sports. Vincent was the deputy commissioner when Rose was banned and commissioner from 1989-92.
"There are a lot of similarities between this and Rose. They were very delusional. They lied. They misbehaved," he said.
"Baseball has to stand for things. It just can't have these drugs. If chemists win, baseball is finished. Otherwise, we'd have the Yankees and Red Sox buying up chemistry departments and not caring about who is pitching.
Rodriguez, who admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs from 2001-03 while playing for the Texas Rangers, has denied any involvement with doping since joining the Yankees in 2004.
Rodriguez was scheduled to take a flight Sunday night to Chicago to meet his teammates after playing in two rehab games over the weekend in Trenton, N.J. He is expected to address the news media in Chicago before the game.
"I think all of us are curious what's going to happen" Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It hasn't really occupied my mind like maybe some other things have. I think all of us have known that possibly something could be coming for a lot of different players.
"You deal with it when you have to deal with it. It's kind of like most of the things I've done around here. You deal with it when you have to deal with it."
Rodriguez has not played this season as he has recovered from hip surgery in January. On Friday, he accused MLB and the Yankees of conspiring to prevent him from playing and collecting the remaining $96 million of his $275 million contract. Rodriguez's attorneys reached out to MLB officials and the Yankees on Saturday to seek a settlement, according to three people with knowledge of the talks. Rodriguez was informed MLB declined the overture.
Rodriguez has long insisted he would fight any suspension, saying he was not involved with Biogenesis, the South Florida clinic accused of providing performance-enhancing drugs to athletes. His name showed up in various Biogensis documents, as first reported by the Miami New Times in January.
Meanwhile, Girardi downplayed the potential clumsy reunion, and saying Sunday he already has plans to start Rodriguez at third base.
"I don't suspect it'll be awkward," Girardi said. "Most of the guys know him as a teammate and have laughed a lot with Alex and been around Alex a lot. I think it'll be business as usual.
"I'm sure there will be more media there obviously (Monday,) but I think that's more for Alex to deal with than the rest of the guys. I don't think it'll be a big deal."
Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun is the only player to accept and start serving a punishment in the Biogenesis investigation, and was suspended two weeks ago for the season's duration. Most of the players punished Monday are expected to accept their suspension, which could be the most levied in MLB history.
"I think Bud ought to take the opportunity to teach what this is all about," Vincent said, "and why this is important for all of sports dealing with drugs. This is about Selig selling the American public on what he's doing, and why it's important that players don't take these drugs.
"It's important that he articulates and explains that baseball is doing this to be protective of the sport. It really is a teaching moment.
"If you don't have rules, you don't have a game."
If Rose had only admitted that he gambled on baseball, Vincent said, Rose's lifetime ban likely would have been lifted, perhaps enabling him to enter the Hall of Fame.
Now, it may be time for Rodriguez to do the same.
"Rodriguez should come clean," Vincent said, "Go to the commissioner, and say, 'How do I help?' If Rodriguez is smart, he would explain to kids why drugs are dangerous. I think this is his great chance to send a terrific message.
"If Rose had thrown himself at our mercy, and begun to reconfigure his life, gone to therapy and realized the issue is all about baseball, it might have been different for him.
"Rodriguez has got to preserve some of his money and whatever tatters he has left of his reputation.
"Maybe, 10 years from now, he'll figure it out. Hopefully, it's not too late."

Jessica Simpson weds ex-NFL player Eric Johnson
Published: Jul 06, 2014 at 10:16 AM
MONTECITO, Calif. -- Jessica Simpson is a newlywed.
The singer and TV personality married former NFL tight end Eric Johnson on Saturday at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif., her publicist Lauren Auslander confirmed.
Simpson -- who famously dated Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo a few years ago -- began dating Johnson in 2010. They have a two-year-old daughter, Maxwell, and a one-year-old son named Ace.
It is the second marriage for both Simpson, 33, and 34-year-old Johnson. Simpson was previously married to singer Nick Lachey. The two co-starred on a VH1 reality series Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica for three seasons. Shortly after their third wedding anniversary, the two split up.
Johnson, who attended Yale, played for the San Francisco 49ers from 2001 through 2006, and for the New Orleans Saints in 2007. His best season was 2004, when he started 14 games and caught 82 passes for 825 yards and two touchdowns.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.


Ladies fashion rings and bands are very popular and although they are made from gold and platinum are not very expensive. Advances in the jewelry manufacturing process have brought down the price of the rings and bands significantly. These type of rings and bands are bought by all women who wish to look trendy without spending a fortune.
To be honest, fashion rings and bands are all about reintroducing the traditional designs of jewelry with a tinge of style and sophistication - by spicing them with the right contemporary hues and selling them at affordable prices.
There is a great selection of gorgeous rings and exquisite bands in fabulous colors and designs - ranging from traditional to contemporary. Some of the ladies fashion rings include plain bands, diamond encrusted bands, tension set bands and other unique designs.
The most common material for rings and bands is of course gold because of the ease of which the metal can be worked with and also the beauty that the metal possesses. It can be made to suit any occasion and match any style of dress because it can be made in the classic yellow gold color or in the more modern white gold color. Most white gold is rhodium plated to protect the gold and to give it the shiny white metal color. Although this rhodium plating is very thin and may wear off over time, it can be reapplied at any time at a very minimal cost.
White 14k gold is most popular right now probably because that color matches most other jewelry a woman would wear. There is jewelry and bands that can be made out of other materials but they are generally cheaper jewelry that is not expected to last very long. Quality jewelry like you find at Novori Jewelry is made from the finest gold and platinum so that the jewelry can become an heirloom and be past down to members of the family or close friends. Novori Jewelry is worked using the latest CAD and computer technologies but is also worked on by skilled jewelers that have been trained and honed their skills for many years. Rings and bands made by Novori Jewelry are not made overseas or imported as some of this imported jewelry uses substandard materials. Novori rings and bands are always made in the USA and have the finest materials. We guarantee everything we sell.
Women wearing fashionable rings and bands will psychologically feel like they are wearing some expensive jewelry and it is also a fact that these accessories, though not priced very expensive, are attention grabbing. Ladies fashion rings and bands are also given as gifts on birthdays and other important occasions.
Trends in ladies fashion rings and bands keep changing in accordance with the changes in fashion clothing. However, certain rings like the ones with the heart sign and clasping hands are always in style and make a perfect gift.
Bands with these symbols signify eternal love and romance and are worn by both men and women throughout their relationship. Heart shaped rings are in demand during Valentine's Day. Some women deliberately choose dainty fashion rings with love signs to show their passionate their partners. Fashion rings with diamonds are affordable by all.
Remember that these rings and bands are worn almost every day and that when they are made of quality materials like gold or platinum, they will be able to withstand the rigors of every day wear and tear. Cheaper materials may not be able to withstand the bumps and scratches a ring takes on a daily basis.
It must be said that all women love to dress up and wear elegant stylish accessories regardless of their age. The yearning to look gorgeous and demand attention is indeed a part of female psychology and the market for jewelry, rings and bands allows for this. Fashionable women spend a lot on these types of accessories and with the help from Novori Jewelry are able to save money when buying diamond rings and bands.
