Sně, album of a multi-genre musician, composer as well as producer Beata Hlavenková accepted very well by critics will sound from vinyl. After the album named Theodoros (2013) this is the second vinyl disc of Hlavenková published by Minority Records.
"I am very pleased that Sně will be available not only for the fans of the alternative poetical pop with jazz as well as folk elements, but also for a growing number of gramophone fans. Theodoros vinyl album will have a sibling pressed by the same record label. Dan Dudarec, as great music lover, devotes the most intensive and quality care to vinyl production, " says Hlavenková.
The fifth album called Sně is undoubtedly a milestone disc for Beata Hlavenková. In the scope of her solo carrier, she presents herself in the role of a singer and lyrics writer for the first time. Besides own lyrics, Beata sings also poems of Bohuslav Reynek and Petr Borkovec.
The Slovak multiinstrumentalist Oskar Török, known from the formation Vertigo, Points Septet of Luboš Soukup or Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet participated in the disc recording in a considerable extent; in several songs, the guitar of Patrick Karpenstki (Toxique, Lake Malawi, Baromantika) will sound.
Sně were acclaimed not only by very positive reviews mentioning the new development of the creation of Beata Hlavenková; it acquired also two nominations for the Anděl Prize in the category folk and solo interpreter of the year and the nomination for Moravian Silesian cultural Jantar Prize in the category "interpreter of the year".
Press reactions:
"…even the resignation on genre anchoring, interpreter's and author's originality are here the most precious aspect… although this disc is inconspicuous and the pop charts will probably ignore this disc, its timelessness will assure its retroactive rediscovery." Antonín Kocábek (Reflex)
"The Album Sně is different than the preceding instrumental records of Beata Hlavenková. It has no sense to compare, if it is more interesting than Theodóros with purely piano music. Doubtlessly, this is one of the most remarkable home discs of 2019." Milan Tesař (UNI)
"Its album is a definitive step to become a songster being above the genres and time. It will be a real pleasure to follow her further development".
Ondřej Bezr (Lidové noviny)
At present, Hlavenková performs as solo singer or with the band consisting of Török, Karpentski an bass guitare Miloš P. Klápště and focuses on film musing composing. Her compositions will accompany the four-part-series of the Czech Television about Božena Němcová and the film Zátopek of the director David Ondříček.
The vinyl edition of Sně is pressed by Minority Records as licensed release on white 180 gram vinyl and simultaneously in the limited edition 100 pieces on transparent 180 gram vinyl, determined for the exclusive sale in e-shop of the record label. Christening of vinyl will take place in the scope of Prague Space X Festival on 14th March 2020.
Machinarium Remixed is the title of a 7-track remix album celebrating the 10th anniversary of Amanita Design's robot city adventure. The Prague-based independent studio teams up with 7 different music projects from across the globe to shed new light on Tomáš Dvořák's (aka Floex) critically acclaimed soundtrack. The album is out on both vinyl and digital today in collaboration with Minority Records.
"I played Machinarium when it first came out and it quickly became one of my favourite all-time games, with my favourite game score of all time. In fact simply one of my favourite albums of the last ten years," said Orbital's Paul Hartnoll about discovering Floex's soundtrack. "When Tomas asked if Orbital would like to take part in the project I jumped at the idea knowing full well which piece I wanted to do and how. I was thrilled to find 'The Glasshouse with Butterfly' was ready and waiting for us. This has been one of the most fun remixes we've done for years, and to top it all we asked Tomas to remix an Orbital song in return. He didn't disappoint, he delivered one of our favourite remixes that anyone has ever done for us. What a joyful creative transaction!" he added.
The rest of the line-up consists of some of the most frequently praised artists and music projects within the indie games community such as C418 (Minecraft), 65daysofstatic (No Man's Sky), Jim Guthrie (Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP), Baiyon (PixelJunk Eden), Ed Critchley (Lumino City) or Amanita Design's very own freak-folk duo DVA (Botanicula, CHUCHEL).
The 7-track album is out today on all major digital platforms. Collectors and vinyl enthusiasts alike can order the exclusive amber-coloured 180-gram vinyl, strictly limited to 700 hand-numbered copies. The LP comes in a gatefold sleeve with Eva Marková's reimagination of Adolf Lachman's original artwork for the game.
This autumn, Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex will be touring the Czech Republic with a brand new show, playing his music for video games live for the first time ever. The main concert will happen on 27th November 2019 at Palác Akropolis, Prague.
Machinarium Remixed is available at the following streaming services: Deezer, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon, TIDAL, Youtube Music.

Ive got this code but it throws the catch in the java code from the line connection.connect()
i assume it cant connect to the server but i dont understand why

A: You can use a very popular HTTP library called OkHttp ( https://github.com/square/okhttp )
I wrote this snippet of code so you can adapt it in your application:
Java:
  public void downloadTxt(String url) {
    Request request = new Request.Builder()
        .url(url)
        .build();
    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
    client
        .newCall(request)
        .enqueue(new Callback() {
          @Override
          public void onFailure(@NotNull Call call, @NotNull IOException e) {
              //error reaching your site
              e.printStackTrace();
          }

          @Override
          public void onResponse(@NotNull Call call, @NotNull Response response) throws IOException {
            if(response.isSuccessful()) {
              System.out.println(response.body().string());
            } else {
              System.out.println("Error with code: "+response.code());
            }
          }
        });
  }

Kotlin:
    fun downloadTxt(url: String) {
        val request: Request = Request.Builder()
            .url(url)
            .build()
        val client = OkHttpClient()
        client
            .newCall(request)
            .enqueue(object : Callback() {
                fun onFailure(call: Call, e: IOException) {
                    e.printStackTrace()
                }

                fun onResponse(call: Call, response: Response) {
                    if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                        println(response.body().string())
                    } else {
                        println("Error with code: ${response.code()}")
                    }
                }
            })
    }

Global Resources Institute has initiated a SunWater Program to promote the use of solar disinfection as a process to produce clean drinking water for the millions of people who suffer from diarrheal and other water-borne diseases due to unclean drinking water.
The program is directed toward two, often overlapping, populations: people in developing countries who lack access to clean drinking water in every day life and people in areas at risk for natural or man-made disasters who are likely to be suddenly confronted with unsafe drinking water.
Over 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Over 2.2 million people die of water borne diarrheal diseases each year, 90% of them children, mostly in developing countries. In addition, in the decade ending in 2003, more than 2.5 billion people were affected by earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and other such events. The lack of clean water was often a major concern in such disasters.
Much of the illness and death caused by the lack of clean water can be prevented by the use of solar disinfection which is a very simple and virtually free method of water purification. Solar disinfection uses the ultraviolet (UVA between 300 and 400 nanometers) in sunlight to disinfect bacteria, viruses, and some cysts in water to provide safe drinking water. It has been shown to be effective against a wide range of pathogens including those causing cholera, typhoid, dysentery, cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, numerous diarrheal diseases, and polio. Water placed in glass or PET plastic bottles and placed in daylight is disinfected in four to five hours in direct sunlight or a full day in cloudy weather. A common practice is to expose water for a full day to be used the next day. Where bottles are not available, clear plastic bags, shallow pans, or "plastic puddles" made from sheet plastic or tarpaulins can be used.
Since solar disinfection does not use any chemicals, electricity, or other equipment, it is a readily available method that can be used in emergencies, disasters, or daily life wherever clean water is not accessible. It can also be used as an interim measure in those places where other means of water purification are being planned. Solar disinfection can be presented as components of formal and informal education programs and placed within the agendas of many development activities. The key points of solar disinfection can be found at Key Points.
Solar disinfection was practiced in India centuries ago when water was exposed to daylight in shallow pans and was rediscovered and researched in Lebanon by Aftim Acra and others beginning in the 1970s. UNICEF published a report of their work and recommended its use. <http://almashriq.hiof.no/lebanon/600/610/614/solar-water/unesco>. Since that time solar disinfection has been extensively researched and promoted by Dr. Martin Wegelin and others at the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology. They have carried out laboratory studies and field studies in many developing countries. <http://www.sodis.ch>. A group at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland has done research into the basic process of solar disinfection, its effects on various pathogens, and its effectiveness in field studies. On World Water Day in March 2001 the World Health Organization endorsed solar disinfection as one of two "Immediate Solutions for Persistent Problems" of water quality and urged its promotion. <http://www.who.int/inf-pr-2001/en/pr2001-12.html>.
In 1999 with support from US-AEP/NASDA, Global Resources Institute conducted field studies and training in Lumbini, Nepal on solar disinfection in collaboration with the International Buddhist Society (IBS) and its medical clinic. The clinic reported an 80% decrease in diarrhea among 5,000 villagers who used solar disinfection for nine months. Clinic Report (About 50,000 children die each year in Nepal from diarrheal diseases.) The villagers gave solar disinfection the local name of "Gham Ko Paani" ("Sun Water" in Nepali), which GRI has adopted for its international program.
Sine its initial work in 1999, GRI has continued to introduce solar disinfection in Nepal with its most recent training held in Kathmandu in October 2005. GRI has also provided materials to organizations working in Kenya and Haiti.
Most applications of solar disinfection make use of PET plastic bottles which are typically used for bottled water and soft drinks. Questions have been raised regarding chemical breakdown of PET plastic bottles when exposed to sunlight and possible contamination of the water with carcinogens or other harmful chemicals. Tests by the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology on PET bottles have shown that although some breakdown may occur on the outside of the bottles, harmful by-products are not present in the water inside the PET bottles.
Plastic bottles become scratched and dirty with use and may become cloudy with age, rendering them less useful for solar disinfection. The lifetime of a bottle in daily use is found to be approximately four to six months. Since a family of six may use 12 to 16 bottles of water a day, when cycling them every other day a family may require as many as 32 bottles. Even in a village of modest population this can create an environmental burden over time. Since PET bottles have value for recycling, a recycling program should be a component of any solar disinfection plan for a neighborhood or community.
Since the effectiveness of solar disinfection has been tested, demonstrated and proven in the laboratory and many field projects, the present task is to raise awareness of the value of solar disinfection and to promote its use in emergencies, disasters and daily life wherever clean water is not available. In addition to targeting people in developing countries who lack access to clean drinking water on a daily basis, recent disasters have underscored the importance of making solar disinfection a part of the public's storehouse of preparedness information before disaster strikes. To attempt to introduce a new concept to a disorganized and traumatized populace can be a daunting task. The public should know about solar disinfection in the same way that it knows about the use of tourniquets. This is especially important in areas where people are subject to recurring monsoon floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters.
In order to spread knowledge of solar disinfection and to promote its use, the SunWater Program has three long-term objectives: to develop educational and training materials on solar disinfection, to build partnerships with agencies and organizations to disseminate the information, and to work for the implementation of solar disinfection programs in developing countries and disaster-prone areas.
Areas of GRI's current and future educational efforts include developing posters, booklets for use in schools and non-formal education, training flip books, background materials for trainers and decision makers, video and audio materials, materials on establishing a solar disinfection infrastructure including the recycling of plastic bottles and website development. Posters presenting the basics of solar disinfection are available at SunWater Posters.

Spiracantha cornifolia  Kunth, 1818  è una specie di pianta angiosperma dicotiledone della famiglia delle Asteraceae.  Spiracantha cornifolia è anche l'unica specie del genere  Spiracantha  Kunth, 1818 .

Etimologia
Il nome scientifico della specie è stato definito per la prima volta dal botanico Karl Sigismund Kunth (1788-1850) nella pubblicazione " Nova Genera et Species Plantarum" ( Nov. Gen. Sp. [H.B.K.] 4(14): 29, t. 313 (ed. fol.)) del 1818. Il nome scientifico del genere è stato definito per la prima volta nella stessa pubblicazione.

Descrizione
L'habitus di queste piante è di tipo piccolo-erboso perenne. La pubescenza è formata da peli semplici. Gli organi interni di queste piante contengono lattoni sesquiterpenici (ma non dilattoni).

Le foglie lungo il caule sono disposte sia in modo alternato. La forma della lamina è intera e varia da ellittica a lanceolata. I margini sono interi. Le venature della pagina fogliare sono di tipo pennato. La pubescenza nella parte inferiore può essere tomentosa.

Le infiorescenza, peduncolate, sono composte da capolini in globosi glomeruli sottesi da 3 - 4 brattee fogliose subinvolucrali. I capolini sono composti da un involucro formato da circa 6 brattee embricate che fanno da protezione al ricettacolo sul quale s'inseriscono i fiori tubulosi. Le brattee, subuguali, sono piuttosto persistenti; hanno gli apici aristati. Il ricettacolo è privo di pagliette (ossia è nudo).

I fiori, uno per capolino, sono tetra-ciclici (ossia sono presenti 4 verticilli: calice – corolla – androceo – gineceo) e pentameri (ogni verticillo ha in genere 5 elementi). I fiori sono inoltre ermafroditi e actinomorfi (raramente possono essere zigomorfi).

 Formula fiorale:
 */x K , [C (5), A (5)], G 2 (infero), achenio

 Calice: i sepali del calice sono ridotti ad una coroncina di squame.
 Corolla: le corolle sono formate da un tubo terminante in 4 - 5 lobi; il colore è più o meno lavanda; la superficie è poco pubescente; i lobi sono sclerificati esternamente/distalmente.
 Androceo: gli stami sono 5 con filamenti liberi e distinti, mentre le antere sono saldate in un manicotto (o tubo) circondante lo stilo. Le antere, sagittate, alla base sono ottuse. Le appendici delle antere sono glabre. Il polline è triporato (con tre aperture di tipo isodiametrica o poro), è echinato (con punte) e anche  "lophato" (la parte più esterna dell'esina è sollevata a forma di creste e depressioni).
 Gineceo: lo stilo è filiforme e privo di nodi. Gli stigmi dello stilo sono due divergenti e smussati con la superficie stigmatica posizionata internamente (vicino alla base). La pubescenza è del tipo a spazzola con peli appuntiti. L'ovario è infero uniloculare formato da 2 carpelli.

I frutti sono degli acheni con pappo. Gli acheni, fusiformi e con 5 - 6 deboli venature (non sono bicornuti), hanno la superficie ghiandolosa (setolosa di sopra). All'interno si può trovare del tessuto di tipo idioblasto e minuti rafidi (o possono mancare); non è presente il tessuto tipo fitomelanina. Il pappo è formato da brevi setole.

Biologia
 Impollinazione: l'impollinazione avviene tramite insetti (impollinazione entomogama tramite farfalle diurne e notturne).
 Riproduzione: la fecondazione avviene fondamentalmente tramite l'impollinazione dei fiori (vedi sopra).
 Dispersione: i semi (gli acheni) cadendo a terra sono successivamente dispersi soprattutto da insetti tipo formiche (disseminazione mirmecoria). In questo tipo di piante avviene anche un altro tipo di dispersione: zoocoria. Infatti gli uncini delle brattee dell'involucro si agganciano ai peli degli animali di passaggio disperdendo così anche su lunghe distanze i semi della pianta.

Distribuzione e habitat
Le piante di questo gruppo sono distribuite in America Centrale e nel nord del Sud America.

Sistematica
La famiglia di appartenenza di questa voce (Asteraceae o Compositae, nomen conservandum) probabilmente originaria del Sud America, è la più numerosa del mondo vegetale, comprende oltre 23.000 specie distribuite su 1.535 generi, oppure 22.750 specie e 1.530 generi secondo altre fonti (una delle checklist più aggiornata elenca fino a 1.679 generi). La famiglia attualmente (2021) è divisa in 16 sottofamiglie.

Filogenesi
Le piante di questo gruppo appartengono alla sottotribù Rolandrinae descritta all'interno della tribù Vernonieae Cass. della sottofamiglia Vernonioideae Lindl.. Questa classificazione è stata ottenuta ultimamente con le analisi del DNA delle varie specie del gruppo. Da un punto di vista filogenetico in base alle ultime analisi sul DNA la tribù Vernonieae è risultata divisa in due grandi cladi: Muovo Mondo e Vecchio Mondo. I generi di Rolandrinae appartengono al clade relativo all'America.

La sottotribù, e quindi i suoi generi, si distingue per i seguenti caratteri:
 i capolini hanno un solo fiore;
 il pappo è formato da una corta coroncina o da brevi scaglie;
 il polline è "lophato";
 la corolla ha 4 -5 lobi ma non è zigomorfa;
 nelle specie di questo gruppo i "dilattoni" sono mancanti.

In precedenza la tribù Vernonieae, e quindi la sottotribù di questo genere (Rolandrinae), era descritta all'interno della sottofamiglia Cichorioideae. Alle analisi del DNA la sottotribù è vicina alle sottotribù Lepidaploinae e Elephantopinae. Da un punto di vista morfologico i due generi della sottotribù Rolandrinae sono vicini ai generi della sottotribù Elephantopinae, ma differiscono per i capolini con fiore singolo, le corolle piccole e regolari con
punte dei lobi sclerificate e per le basi delle antere speronate e di lunghezza normale.

I caratteri distintivi per le specie di questo genere ( Spiracantha ) sono:
 le piante hanno un habitus erbaceo;
 le infiorescenze sono formate da raggruppamenti globosi di capolini peduncolati sottese da fogliose brattee;
 le brattee dell'involucro sono circa 6;
 i lobi delle corolle, 4 o 5, sono ricoperti da scarsi peli;
 gli acheni hanno 5 - 6 venature longitudinali;
 il pappo è formato da poche setole.

Il numero cromosomico delle specie di questo genere è: 2n = 16.

Q: How can setConsumerRebalanceListener get the calling ConsumerAwareRebalanceListener instance? Maybe this is a naive question but it somhow stuck me there for some time. Please bear with me.
I have a class DataConsumer.java that implements ConsumerAwareRebalanceListener:
@Component
public class DataConsumer implements ConsumerAwareRebalanceListener {
    @Override
    public void onPartitionsAssigned(Consumer<?, ?> consumer, Collection<TopicPartition> partitions) {
        // seek offsets based on a given timestamp
    }
    @KafkaListener(topics = "dataTopic", containerFactory = "kafkaListenerContainerFactory")
    receive(ConsumerRecord payload) {}
}

So in order for onPartitionsAssigned to work, i need to call setConsumerRebalanceListener in the kafkaListenerContainerFactory method which is defined in another class like this:
@Bean
public ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, ConsumerRecord> kafkaListenerContainerFactory() {
    ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, ConsumerRecord> factory = new ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory();
    factory.getContainerProperties().setConsumerRebalanceListener(____________);
    // rest part omitted
}

My question is about this ____________ part above. What shall i put there?
In my understanding, method kafkaListenerContainerFactory is called when we initialize the @KafkaListener container in DataConsumer class, so meaning there is already an existing DataConsumer instance to hold the @kafkaLister. How can i pass that already existing DataConsumer instance to setConsumerRebalanceListener function?
All the sample code snippets I can search out are like below:
setConsumerRebalanceListener(new ConsumerRebalanceListener() {
    //override the functions
})

But isn't this creating a new instance? If I put new DataConsumer() it will lose some status in the existing instance (e.g. the timestamp to seek offsets) so this can't work.

A: You can declare DataConsumer as a @Bean (instead of using @Component) then you can inject your bean there.
However, this is the wrong mechanism to use in this case.
Implement ConsumerSeekAware instead - the container will automatically detect that your listener implements that and will call its onPartitionsAssigned.
See Seeking to a Specific Offset in the documentation.

Candidate Differing-Inputs Obfuscation from Indistinguishability Obfuscation and Auxiliary-Input Point Obfuscation
Pan Dongxue and Li Hongda and Ni Peifang
Abstract: Differing-inputs obfuscation (diO), first proposed by Barak et. al. [4], provides stronger security than that provided by indistinguishability obfuscation (iO). An iO scheme provides indistinguishability between the obfuscations of two programs that are equivalent and have the same length of description. A diO scheme ensures that the obfuscations of two efficiently generated programs with the same description length are indistinguishable if it is hard to find an input on which their outputs differ. Ananth et. al. [1] showed the definition of diO with respect to arbitrary auxiliary inputs. However, Garg et al. [19] showed that the existence of this kind of diO contradicts a certain "special-purpose obfuscation" conjecture. Ishai, Pandey and Sahai [23] suggested a diO variant called public-coin diO, which requires the auxiliary input to be a public random string and given as input to all relevant algorithms. They gave a construction of public-coin diO by assuming the existence of public-coin differing-inputs obfuscator for NC^1 circuits. In this paper, we use a slightly different definition, called public-coin-dependent diO. It allows the obfuscation algorithm to additionally take as input the random coins used to sample the circuit pair (including the circuit to be obfuscated) and thus the obfuscation algorithm can use the property of the circuit pair. We first construct a public-coin differing-inputs obfuscator for a class of new defined function with iO and point obfuscation with auxiliary input (AIPO). And then we use it to complete the public-coin-dependent diO for any pair of circuits that are hard to be found an input on which their outputs differ. The constructions are based on secure iO schemes for NC^1, fully homomorphic encryption scheme, and the existence of AIPO. Besides, we show the applications of our constructions.

The birth of Someday/Somehow, the debut solo release from Toto co-founder Steve Porcaro wasn't something that came together overnight. But as he was in the middle of working with Toto and writing for other artists, as well scoring some music for television and film, across the decades, he was well aware of the material that was accumulating.
That "someday" arrived about a year ago, after Porcaro and the members of Toto had wrapped up work on the Toto XIV album. His brother Mike died following a long battle with ALS, and Porcaro became acutely aware that he shouldn't put his own material to the side any longer.
"Back to You" is one of the oldest songs on the album, initially recorded as a demo by Toto in 1983, and as Porcaro reveals, it wound up on the sidelines at that time. But thankfully, as he would discover many years later, he had a backup copy, one which allowed him to make music with his brothers one more time.
Finishing off the track was something that came with a good amount of challenges. He started with his original demo parts and added in Jeff's drums and Mike's bass. From that point, he had to wrestle with it a bit to bring it all together properly.
All of the work that it took to bring "Back to You" to the finish line was worth it, to be able to include it on the new album and hearing the final results is something that still makes Porcaro quite emotional.
Porcaro has plenty of memories that come flooding back when he listens to the work that he did with his brothers.
He is quick to agree that the musical history of the Porcaro family is really something and that with so much music surrounding the young brothers in their early days, it seems unlikely that they could have pursued any other kind of career, but he also is very aware that they were quite fortunate to grow up at the time that they did.
The absence of those opportunities leaves a big void for today's artists who are working to develop as players and make their own mark.


Hey Beauty Lovers! Lately I have been on a Moroccanoil kick. There is just something about Moroccanoil haircare that makes hair look so pretty, the way it falls, the shape it takes. Restorative Hair Mask is a deep treatment that hydrates hair making it look healthy and shiny. Just apply it for a few minutes on mid-lengths and tips avoiding the roots as with any hydrating mask and then rinse off.


Do you judge people's grocery carts when you shop? Are you a crunchy mama who sees an overweight woman with three kids hanging on her heels, dressed in shabby clothes, paying with a Welfare/Food Stamps card .. and judge her for the chips and soda or junk food in her cart? Or are you oblivious to what other folks are buying and doing, texting while you're in line, impatiently waiting your turn?
Do you judge people by the trash in their vehicle? If someone offered you a ride and you climbed into their minivan; and there were cracker crumbs everywhere, and crumbled up fast food bags, tons of balled up receipts, straw wrappers, soda cans, maybe even cigarette packs … what would you think? Would it bother you or would you even notice?
Do you judge the Perfect Polly who seems to have everything in order, amazing marriage, fabulous house, talented kids, spotless record, flawless skin, tight and tone body … envy her and wish things came so easily for you like they do for Polly? Only later you find out she actually envies YOU and often has thoughts of escaping or running away?
Okay … so now think about the crime shows or movies where there's a murder or someone goes missing. They immediately start picking that person's life apart (the victim). They go through their financial records, their phone records, their GPS whereabouts, their computer and internet history, etc. The authorities even go through their house, their closets, their trash, their purse/wallet, desk at work, locker at the gym, medical records, etc. The detectives pick apart that person's life looking for clues, right?
NOW .. stick with me a moment … what if YOU went missing right now? Right this moment. No time to prepare, no time to hide your secrets or cover your tracks or clean up your messes. Your disappearance would be a mystery and the authorities would start picking apart your life, inch by inch, minute by minute, text by text. They would talk to your neighbors and co-workers and relatives, and even your enemies (or perceived enemies). They would talk to your dry cleaner and your pharmacist and your banker and everyone in between. What do you think these people would say about you?
What conclusions would they draw about you? What would they determine about your habits and your whereabouts? What would they discern about your character and your relationships?
NOW — Imagine yourself in a little floating bubble looking down on these frenzied detectives picking apart your life. Would you be embarrassed? Would you be happy with the conclusions taking place? Would you be content with the legacy you'd left behind? Would you have regrets? Would you be proud?
But guess what ?! You. Are. Not. Dead! You're probably not even missing. If you're reading this, and you've stuck with me this far, then this is really good news. You're not in a bubble. There's probably not even anyone going through your trash 🙂 The only one aware of your every move and every thought is God. SO, go talk to Him … He is listening. And truly, HE is the only Judge that matters anyway.
It's not too late. If you do not like the way you're life looks from the outside looking in, or from the inside looking out … now is a perfect time to do something about that. Remember: If nothing changes, nothing changes. Toss those negative thoughts and toxic talk straight into the TRASH … and start building some healthier habits, day by day.
Oh this is spot on!!! Love it!
An encouraging comment. Thank you for reminding me that when I am judgmental or prideful I can always talk to God and seek His forgiveness. And when I have weaknesses or are buried in "the trash" of life I can seek God's guidance and His plan. He is my strength. Thanks, Deb, for this message that, I am sure, is inspired by God.

A quick look at the forecast on Friday afternoon told us that Flinders would be by far the best conditions for today, unfortunately nothing could help us with the viz. Mark's dive briefing covers buddy separation, however, my team surfaces to find out where we are not necessarily to find each other. Not to be thawted by bad viz we were to make the most of what we had, in fact after the dive we all agreed that diving in almost zero viz can still be interesting and in fact it presents its own set of challenges that makes the dive quite enjoyable in its own right. The Weedy Sea Dragons are still about, at times it was almost easier to find the Dragons than my buddies :). The tide had started to come in just prior to the start of our dive and after a half hour in the water the viz improves from 1 to 3 metres and will only get better as the tide rises. Check out these amazing christmas gifts for men our shop has.Of course to our club divers, an important part of a days diving is the lunch, to them it's just as important as the dive site itself or what they get to see on a dive, sometimes they don't even dive – they just come for lunch. The importance of food becomes obvious when orders are placed with out the need for a menu, I had thought it was my interpretation of the weather charts that dictated the dive site, now I think perhaps it was the choice of cafe that had the biggest influence!!

Orienting societies towards creativity and innovation is a long-term process. Regardless of the current emergencies, this objective must remain present in current strategies. Making innovation a strategic objective in this period of doubt means using a political dialogue based on freedom, initiative, participation, that should reduce the current tensions by providing a horizon. According to the authors of this report, this is what the youth, that led the Arab revolutions, is waiting for.
The study explores the conditions for the success of policies that promote innovation in the South Mediterranean, in a context of globalized competition and democratic transition.
Beyond the simple fact of the low success rate of policies implemented prior to the "Arab Spring ", it suggests a paradigm shift by making the development of creativity and innovation a core function of society to the benefit of a new social contract that puts emphasis on the youth.
In order to achieve this, the 284 pages study undertakes an organic analysis of innovation and, throughout six chapters, provides a set of recommendations relevant to education and training systems, the nature and priorities of research, business organization and decentralized financing of innovation.
The study is available in French only for the time being; it can be downloaded by clicking on the following link (PDF , French, 284 pages , 7.3 Mb).

Mini cakes are individual servings of cake which can make a beautiful treat for your guests.
Mini cakes come in various shapes and sizes and can be decorated to match your main cutting cake or wedding theme. Mini cake towers are a stunning centre piece in wedding receptions.
With mini cakes you have the option of choosing various flavours so your guests will be spoilt for choice. You can also serve the cakes immediately after cutting your main cake as they are already in individually sized portions which removes the time it takes for the kitchen to portion the cake for serving.
Mini cakes make lovely favours for your wedding guests when individually boxed. They are a gorgeous gift for your guests to take home if you are not serving them on your wedding day.
Classic victoria – Madagascan vanilla sponge soaked in vanilla bean syrup, layered with raspberry conserve and vanilla bean buttercream.
Zesty lemon – Lemon sponge soaked in lemon syrup, layered with lemon buttercream and home made lemon curd.
Dark chocolate truffle – Belgian chocolate sponge layered with dark chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream.

Please have a look at our Mini Cakes London page to see our portfolio of mini cakes. Please enquire if you would like a bespoke design made especially for your big day!
In the past most people had traditional fruit cake as their wedding cake flavour of choice. Today however there are endless choices of flavours and fillings to choose from and making a decision can sometimes be very difficult as we are so spoilt for choice.
Here are my top tips to help you when choosing your wedding cake flavours and fillings.
When are you serving your wedding cake?
It's recommended that you have a tasting consultation with your cake designer. I offer six different sample flavours and fillings at my cake consultation sessions which can then be tweaked if need be to suit the couples tastes.
You should have a good idea of your wedding menu before hand as the wedding cake flavours should complement your menu. If you are serving the cake as dessert after a very heavy meal for example it would be preferable to serve a light, refreshing sponge such as lemon or carrot.
If you opt to serve the cake buffet style during the dancing you can opt for heavier, richer flavours such as chocolate or fruit cake. This works well as people can help themselves to bite sized portions during the entertainment and sweeter, richer desserts are preferable at this time of the night.
Of course, you can have the cake individually boxed and given away as favours. In this case you can choose any flavours you like but be sure to advise your guests when it is best eaten as a slice of sponge will not stay fresh for as long as a slice of fruit cake.
The wedding venue can have an impact on your choice of wedding cake flavours. A light, lemon sponge is best suited to an outdoor wedding on a hot summers' day. If you are have a traditional church wedding you may opt for a traditional flavour such as fruit cake.
Your wedding cake fillings will depend on the cake flavours you have chosen. The fillings should complement and enhance the flavour of your cake. The fillings can also be used to adapt the flavours to suit your tastes.
Carrot cake for example can be made sweeter with vanilla buttercream or zesty with a lemon buttercream. A chocolate sponge can be made richer and more decadent with a chocolate ganache or lighter with a chocolate buttercream.
Curds and preserves can also be used to enhance the flavours of your sponge. Lemon curd will enhance the tangy flavours of a lemon sponge while raspberry jam will be reminiscent of home baking when paired with a vanilla sponge.
Avoid fresh cream fillings for summer weddings as these may go off in the heat. Instead, opt for fresh flavoured buttercream fillings which will endure.
With the endless options available today most couples choose a different flavour for each tier of their wedding cake which provides much more choice for their guests. If you are choosing exotic flavours that may not suit everyone tastes use them for the smaller tiers and have the more popular flavours as your larger tiers.
At the end of the day choose flavours that you love as it is your wedding cake and you should enjoy it on your big day!
Please visit our wedding cake fillings and flavours page to view our menu. Sweetness Cake Boutique provides wedding cakes in London and Greater London. Please enquire if you would like to book a cake consultation.
Manor weddings are full of pomp and tradition. English Manors are situated in beautiful, impeccably manicured grounds and create a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and photos of the day. The rooms are often lavishly furnished with antiques and beautiful fabrics and trimmings.
When choosing a wedding cake for a Manor Wedding a Traditional Wedding Cake is best. A cake that incorporates a lot of detail so that it doesn't get swallowed up by it's lavish surroundings and is a centerpiece on its own.
I love lace wedding cakes for traditional weddings. They are the embodiment of Victorian decadence and elegance and can hold their own in a Manor House setting. It is especially beautiful when the bride wears lace and that design can be incorporated into the wedding cake.
I designed the Lace Cascade Wedding Cake with Traditional weddings in mind. It's all about the ruffles and lace!

#471: Canadian Rawk
GETTING MORE TALE #471: Canadian Rawk
What do you think of when you read the words "Canadian rock"? Perhaps you imagine the vocal shrieks and drum thrills of Rush? If you have a negative impression of Canadian music, no doubt your mind drifts to the sultry sounds of Nickelback. Landmark artists from the golden age that you know would include Neil Young, the Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Joni Mitchell, Steppenwolf and countless more.
Canada has always had an inferiority complex when it comes to our southern neighbours, the Americans. In the music world, this is manifested in "CanCon". Simply put, Canadian radio broadcasters must play at least 40% Canadian content. Starting in 1968, fears that American artists would flood our airwaves resulted in the first CanCon rules. If you have ever bought a Canadian CD, perhaps you have seen the letters MAPL on the back. MAPL is an acronym that determines if content does indeed qualify as Canadian.
M: Music. Did a Canadian write the tune?
A: Artist. Is the primary artist a citizen of the Great White North?
P: Performance. Was the recording made in Canadian, in a Canadian studio? Or for live albums, was the concert on Canadian soil?
L: Lyrics. Separate from the music qualifier, this determines if the lyrics were written by a Canadian.
Controversy erupted in 1991. Bryan Adams had the biggest record of his career, Waking Up the Neighbors, which was co-written by Robert John "Mutt" Lang and recorded overseas. Under the MAPL rules (since tweaked to avoid this situation), Adams did not qualify as CanCon. His manager Bruce Allen was quite vocal against these rules. Allen was never one to mince words, but he sparked a discussion on CanCon rules and how they ultimately hurt Canadian artists. Flooding the airwaves with Canadian songs that weren't that good was one issue commonly discussed. Another was that some international artists qualified for CanCon by recording in Canada with some of our most in-demand hit-makers such as Jim Vallance or Bruce Fairbairn. Finally, these rules implied a lack of confidence in the strength of our own music.
Some feel that there is a stigma in being Canadian. Though controversial, some feel there is such thing as a "Canadian sound". While this is obviously not universal, I do think there is something to it. There is a commonality in Canadian bands that defies description. To my ears, the Tragically Hip sound Canadian. BTO and the Guess Who sound Canadian. So does Bryan Adams. I can't explain it nor do I want to open that can of worms. I think the roots of Canadian rock, going back to Neil Young and the Guess Who, are basic folksy traditional origins. I think this has somehow been passed on in our DNA. This is not always considered a good thing. The alternative rock band I Mother Earth put out their debut album Dig in 1993, utilizing Mike Clink as producer and hoping to break open in the American market. They were hyped as "the next Jane's Addition", but they did not want to be openly identified as Canadian in promo materials. They felt that there was indeed a Canadian stigma and they would have more success if their citizenship wasn't brought up. M.E.A.T Magazine covered this story but were firmly in the pro-Canadian camp.
Here at mikeladano.com, we don't have to follow CanCon rules, but Canadian content has dominated regardless. I believe that our music is strong enough to stand proudly on its own. We have so much talent in this country. So many incredible songs have emerged from the frozen tundra. Countless incredible, under-appreciated, creative artists: VoiVod, Paul MacLeod, Sloan, Death From Above 1979, Blue Rodeo, Strapping Young Lad, the Trews, Sarah Harmer, Big Sugar…the list truly is endless because great new performers emerge every day. When I worked at the old Record Store, we were fiercely proud Canadians. We put a little Canadian flag sticker on the header cards of every Canadian artist. A lot of customers would say, "I didn't know that singer was Canadian!"
This week, join me each day for a close look at some good Canadian Rawk albums that you may have missed over the years. Trust me, you do not want to miss these reviews or you may miss a future favourite record. Grab a Timmies or a wobbly pop and get ready to rock!

Consider my wobbly pop well and truly grabbed!

A Heineken?
This is what I think of when I hear Heineken…….
LOL! That's good!
I think it's time to watch Blue Velvet again. It's been a long time, but I still remember how awesome Dennis Hopper was. Can't believe it's been almost 6 years since he died.

Oh Canada! My wobbly will be Ontario Craft. Cheers!
Well played JP!

Wobbly pop? Is that beer?
You got it hoser!

The outfit I wore on our first date was swimming in CanCon. (A Sam Roberts t-shirt that I picked up at a show a few months earlier.)
1 Sam Roberts fan (check)
2 Leafs fan (check)
3 Lebrain fan (check)
She sounds like a keeper to me.
10 years strong!
Canadian Rawk Week!
I finished reading Jim Gaffigan's 'Food' this weekend, he had a nice ode to Canada & Tim Horton's.
Excited for this series!
Jim Gaffigan has a book about food? Well that certainly sounds fun.
Thanks Geoff! Get ready to rawk it.
It was long, but a fun read for sure – I'd give it a 4/5 star ranking
I know the Australian band The Lazys that I posted about got CanCon points for having Canadian co-writers and producers. Don't get me wrong, I love that band, and am glad it is played here, but part of me feels bad for the thousands of Canadian bands that never get played on the radio. Please do not get me started about CANCON. I could ramble on for hours about the fact that it is complete and utter bullshit, that helps bands that have already made their millions and ignores the bands that can barely afford gas to get to the next show.
I may not agree with the link below, but it's kind of funny
http://www.craptastic.com/cancon/banal.html
Well that explains one reason why The Lazy's are getting so much airplay right now. I like them too. More cowbell, man.
Yup, radio stations can happily lean on Bryan Adams or Nickelback instead of playing tunes from the four albums I'm highlighting this week. Their loss….
I have noticed that our local station has cut down on the Nickelback and Bryan Adams. Now they just need to get rid of the Trooper, or I will raise a little hell.
The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car is one I can lose for a while.
I usually get to "Here…
Before switching the volume down or switching to phono.
J. says:
You know, I honestly didn't know that Nickelback lot were Canadian until fairly recently!
Can you travel back in time to the point you learned that, and stop yourself from learning that?
I swear I saw Chad Kroeger's face this morning, then I flushed.
OOFT
Unfortunately not.
But I don't hold it against Canada.

80smetalman says:
I agree that Canadian artists don't get the respect they deserve, Anvil comes to mind here. I shall look forward to reading your posts and not too far down the road, I will be revealing my favourite Canadian artist.
I'm looking forward to that! Is that during 1984?
No actually it was in 1983 and if I say more, I'm giving it away.
Did you see te Anvil movie?
I have it on DVD
I think every new band should watch it. It's not all glamorous.
My brother and I saw it at the theatre when it came out.
From what I can remember it was awesome.
It is time to see it again.
I am also tempted to get their new album. I think it comes out very soon.
I agree, it is awesome and that anyone who is serious about music should watch it. I am hoping they will return to play Bloodstock this year. Watching the film made me go out and buy This is Thirteen and I am tempted to buy the new one.
I bet, like Helix, the newest album is one of their best.
My brother and his family travelled halfway across Canada to see AC\DC a few years back, and Anvil opened.
I still remember way back in my parents house listening to the song Metal on Metal when it first came on the radio before the album came out. My ears perked up. "WHO IS THAT?"
I am not sure. I think Anvil may have hit a high mark with Juggernaut of Justice. But I did not like Hope In Hell nearly as much. I'd love to see them do the best albums of their lives this time…but I think they already did.
I bought This is Thirteen immediately after seeing the movie. On vinyl!
keepsmealive says:
Wobbly pops! Great idea, yah. I'll go get us a two-four of stubbies down at the Beer Store, eh!
Here's an even better idea, eh.
Off to the brewery:
Just watched this on TV about 3 weeks ago.
Canadian week? Haha man, I'd need three months. I'll be curious to see what you choose!
You're right, there's something about some of it that just sounds like it came from here. The Hip is easy, they sing about places and events in this country all the time.
Also, Sloan under-appreciated? Not by this guy!
I think Sloan should be a lot bigger. Ah well, at least we got the albums!
I just want to be clear though — I didn't choose anything for this series. I had five posts all about Canadian bands and decided, "Hey, that's a week!"
Dig you check that MacLeod track? That's live baby, a single take.
Don't blame yourself for being Canadian, Mike. It's not your fault.
I might get you back in a passive aggressive way, but then say sorry about 50 times.
You fiend!
Just for that I'm forcing you to eat Red River cereal topped with milk from a bag.
And that disproves my fiend theory?!
I don't know how to respond to this. All my life, I was told it was my fault.
I was at the book store the other day. There was an entire aisle of self-help books for getting rid of the dreaded Canadianisms.
Maybe now the healing can begin.
I really want to seek a mentor to help me break free of this Canadian stereotype. Let me go ask this Mountie over here.
On Trevor Noah, he referred to Trudeau's chin as "Mountie strong" or something like that :)
Yeah, he had his panties in a bunch too.
Obama said that Trudeau is the most popular Canadian in the USA named Justin. Doooooh

La ornitina es un aminoácido dibásico, sintetizado en el citosol como producto del glutamato. Se forma por la acetilación de su grupo amino, fosforilación y reducción del derivado acetilado a N-acetilglutamico-γ-semialdehído. Una transaminación subsecuente produce α-N-acetilornitina que, liberando el grupo acetil, forma ornitina. Puede incorporarse al ciclo de la urea para formar citrulina. Además, es el precursor de la poliamina putrescina. Es el precursor y el postcursor biosintético de la arginina. La ornitina se degrada por intermedio del semialdehído glutámico, utilizando la misma vía que la prolina y el ácido glutámico. También es un precursor de IGF la hormona de crecimiento humana.

What Is the RUC and Why It Is Important to You?
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has a new website specifically for physicians and other providers with information on the Social Security Number Removal Initiative (SSNRI).
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) requires CMS to remove Social Security Numbers (SSNs) from Medicare beneficiary ID cards and issue new cards with a new Medicare Beneficiary Identification or MBI number.
CMS will start mailing ID cards with the new MBIs to patients beginning in April 2018. There will be a 15-month transition period beginning October 2018. During the transition period, physicians and other providers may submit a Medicare claim using either the patient's valid and active SSN or the MBI. Medicare will return both the SSN and the MBI on the remittance advice.
All Medicare claims submitted after January 2020 will be required to use the MBI. Those claims filed with the patient's SSN will be rejected.
Now is the time to look at your practice management systems and talk with your vendors to determine what changes may be required for your systems.
