The Monument to Concepción Arenal is an instance of public art in Madrid, Spain. Located at the Parque del Oeste, it is dedicated to Concepción Arenal, 19th-century standout jurist and precursor of feminism.

History and description
The monument was a work by José María Palma Burgos, a sculptor from Granada. It was funded via popular subscription.

The sculptural group consisted of a granite basement displaying the seated statue of Concepción Arenal, made of limestone and dressed with a judicial robe, sided to her right flank by an allegory of Peace cast in bronze, and a symbolization of the ideas of Liberty, Justice and Forgiveness, sculpted in stone, to her left flank.

An inscription at its base reads  ("Concepción Arenal. She loved science. She comforted pain").

It was unveiled on 29 May 1934 at the plaza de Ruperto Chapí, located at the Parque del Oeste. Some of the institutional representatives attending the event were Niceto Alcalá Zamora (President of the Republic), Pedro Rico (Mayor of Madrid), Rafael Sánchez Guerra (Secretary of the Presidency), Victoria Kent (Director–General of Prisons), Álvaro de Albornoz (President of the Court of Constitutional Guarantees), Gerardo Abad Conde (President of the Council of State),  (President of the Supreme Court),  (Minister of Justice),  (Minister of Public Instruction). The ceremony was also attended by a number of prominent women in the public sphere such as Concha Espina, Magda Donato, Matilde Muñoz, Pilar Millán Astray or  among others. José María Poyán (President of the Lar Gallego), Clara Campoamor (on behalf of the organizing committee for the erection of the monument) and Vicente Cantos (as representative of the Government) intervened as speakers.

The monument endured damage during the 1936–1939 Civil War. Following the end of the war, the monument underwent a restoration, directed by José María Palma himself with help from architect Pedro Muguruza.

The monument was moved to its current location within the park, near the Paseo Moret, in 1995.

Translation:I am writing a sentence in German.
Is zdanie more of a carefully constructed opinion that opinia? I am a russian speaker and as noted elsewhere in the comments, здание means building, so it got me wondering.
Mostly, "zdanie" is just a sentence. Just like the previous one. And this one. Any sentence.
But you're right, it can also be "moje zdanie", which I guess isn't really different from "moja opinia".
So "I don't have a sentence," in Polish, means, "I don't have an opinion"?


Here are my trio. Frost, Storm, and Fira.
Discussion in 'Create-A-Card' started by vaporeon, Jul 15, 2008.
There you go. My trio. Raised them from babys.
Unfortunately thats the all I can say about them.
Fira's power and energyless attack is too good, by far.
and Frost is insanely broken. Its power is just beyond good. Everyone in the game would play one as a tech. The Lv. X's attack is also crazy good.
Far too unbalanced cards. No weakness and 50 resistance?
Yeah, I based the based of my manga. Storm isn't very good because she is weak. Crystal Ice Mirror was based of the Naruto Card. Fira is just...yeah.
I'll make other stuff for other cards when I'm done with the set.
Onec during your turn (before you attack), you may discard 1 card from your opponents hand.

Standard Democrat


The Centre has sought a detailed report from the Mamata government on the circumstances leading to the violence and the steps taken to restore peace and punish those involved in the violence.
Widespread violence during the panchayat polls in West Bengal today left at least 12 people dead and 43 injured, as 73 per cent of the electorate turned up to cast their vote.
Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Anuj Sharma told reporters that there were reports of 12 deaths but only six of them have been confirmed to be poll-related.
"We are looking into the cause of six other deaths," he said.
Notwithstanding the elaborate security arrangements in which 60,000 security personnel from West Bengal and other states were deployed, violence broke out in North and South 24 Parganas, East Midnapore, Burdwan, Nadia, Murshidabad and South Dinajpur districts as the polling progressed.
State Election Commission (SEC) sources said 73 per cent polling was recorded till 5 pm, but many more voters were still in queue.
Polling booths were mainly targeted during the violence, following which clashes broke out between the ruling Trinamool Congress supporters and opposition party workers in several areas. Crude bombs were hurled near several polling stations.
However, Director General of Police Surajit Kar Purakayastha said the number of deaths this time was less compared to the previous panchayat election, when 25 people died. He said three policemen were injured and 70 people were arrested in connection with the violence.
ADG Sharma said TMC activist Arif Ali Gazi died in poll-related violence in South 24 Parganas. Two other TMC workers died in Nadia, he said.
He said two Communist Party of India-Marxist workers died in Nandigram in East Midnapore district, while a Jharkhand Disom Party worker died in Kushmundi of South Dinajpur.
Opposition parties have accused the TMC of 'unleashing a reign of terror and destroying democracy'.
"First they didn't allow people to file nominations. Second after filing nominations, TMC started threatening the candidates to withdraw. The people who didn't withdraw were attacked. This is nothing but a complete destruction of democratic process," CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury said.
TMC downplayed the violence, saying it was far less compared to the Left Front rule.
'To all 'newborn' experts on Bengal #PanchayatElections in State have a history. 400 killed in poll violence in 1990s in CPIM rule. 2003: 40 dead. Every death is a tragedy. Now closer to normal than earlier times. Yes, few dozen incidents. Say, 40 out of 58,000 booths. What's %age? (sic),' TMC leader Derek O'Brien said on Twitter.
Earlier on Monday, the state police and the SEC gave a break-up of the incidents of violence and about the people who died.
In East Midnapore, two persons were killed in Nandigram block-2 when bike-borne miscreants threw bombs on voters waiting in queue outside a booth, SP S N Kumar said.
In another incident in Nandigram, 15 people were injured in a clash outside a booth. One person was hit on the head with a knife while another lost his finger, police said.
An SEC official said that a man was shot dead near a polling booth in Sujapur village in Murshidabad. Local BJP unit leader Subhas Modal claimed the victim was a party worker.
In South Dinajpur, a man was killed and four others were injured after a bomb was hurled outside a polling station, he said.
One person was killed in clashes between two groups outside a polling booth in Nakashipara area in Nadia district, while another death was reported from Shantipur area, he said.
The SEC official said bombs were hurled outside a polling station in Amdanga area of North 24 Paragans in which a man, said to be a CPI-M supporter, died and another injured.
At Kultali in South 24 Parganas, one person was killed when a bomb was hurled outside a polling station, he said.
In Cooch Behar district, North Bengal Development Minister Rabindranath Ghosh allegedly slapped a person outside a polling booth, the official said, adding that the SEC has received a complaint and asked authorities to take action.
Television channels showed Ghosh slapping the person. He, however, claimed that he did not do it.
In Dinhata area of the district, at least 15 people, including voters, were injured after clashes broke out between two rival groups outside a polling station, police said.
In North Dinajpur, three crude bombs were found near a polling booth at Galaisura, police said. Of the three bombs, two were found on railway tracks, RPF sources said.
In Birbhum, masked men carrying weapons and sticks were seen threatening voters outside some of the booths.
Television footage from Basanti block of South 24 Parganas showed masked gunmen outside polling stations.
In Bhangar, which was rocked by pre-poll violence and saw the arrest of a TMC leader, police resorted to baton-charge and fired teargas shells to disperse people following clashes, the SEC official said.
In Keshpur area in West Midnapore, police resorted to lathi-charge and chased people allegedly threatening voters.
In Malda, the office-in-charge of Ratua police station Debabrata Chakraborty was injured in stone pelting when he went to remove a blockade on a state highway, S P Arnab Ghosh said.
Chakraborty has been admitted to a hospital, he said.
The panchayat poll is being held after a protracted legal battle in the Calcutta high court and the Supreme Court involving the SEC, the TMC and the opposition parties.
Meanwhile, the Centre has sought a report from the West Bengal government on the violence.
A home ministry official said the state government has been told to provide a detailed report on the circumstances leading to the violence and the steps taken to restore peace and punish those involved in the violence.


Prompt: How "revolutionary" was the New Deal? Evaluate the significant changes that it brought and determine how different the nation became because of it.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal" was the ultimate reform movement, providing bold reform without bloodshed or revolution. Although many Americans criticized President Roosevelt for his "try anything" approach and wasteful spending, Roosevelt saved the American system of free enterprise by stepping in and actually doing something to help the unemployed, starving masses during the Great Depression. Before Roosevelt was elected, the gap between the haves and have-nots was ever-widening and the country probably would have experienced a revolution if another laissez-faire president like Hoover had been elected in 1932. When Roosevelt was elected, he created a series of reforms to deal with the countless problems in American society; many failed, though some achieved long-lasting success and exist to this day. The New Deal was the ultimate "revolution" providing lasting reforms like Social Security and the Fair Labor Standards Act, and establishing precedents that continue to shape the lives of millions of Americans to this day.
Roosevelt was a radical president in many ways, expanding Federal power and establishing numerous precedents that have served to empower the federal government ever since. Unlike previous presidents, Roosevelt believed that the American government had an obligation to help its citizens in a crisis. Roosevelt also felt that doing anything was better than doing nothing and he was criticized frequently for this. Nonetheless, most of his "alphabet agencies" served their purposes and provided immediate rather than long-term relief to over nine million desperate Americans. He started by creating the Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, which provided employment in government camps for three million young men. These men served doing useful, but (some would say) unnecessary tasks like reforesting, firefighting, draining swamps, and controlling floods. The Works Progress Administration, or WPA, was another extremely helpful agency during the Depression, putting $11 million dollars into public buildings, bridges, and hard-surfaced roads, creating millions of new jobs. To the American people who were used to coming into contact with the government only at the post office and on other infrequent occasions, Roosevelt's system was ground-breaking; never before had the government intervened to help farmers in need (AAA), or homeowners struggling with mortgages (HOLC), or families starving during the winter (CWA). Roosevelt had no uncertainties or misgivings about the use of Federal money to help Americans. If the U.S. government would not help its own citizens, then who would? Roosevelt also made other revolutionary changes with his New Deal.
The plight of the worker had always been of concern to Roosevelt, and he did much during his time as president to improve overall working conditions. Firstly, Roosevelt set up the National Recovery Administration, or NRA, to assist labor unions in their struggle against greedy corporations. The NRA, for the first time in American history, guaranteed the right for labor union members to choose their own representatives in bargaining. The Fair Labor Standards Act, or "Wages and Hours Bill", established maximum hours of labor, minimum wages, and forbid children under the age of sixteen from working. By limiting the number of hours a single worker could work, Roosevelt created new jobs and improved the working conditions for existing workers. Roosevelt was one of the first Presidents to earnestly fight for the rights of the average worker. The Fair Labor Standards Act is still in use today (though the monetary values have been increased to account for seventy years of inflation), and unions still have the rights that Roosevelt guaranteed to them with the NRA. Roosevelt, it seemed, went out of his way to ensure that workers were treated fairly and given their due rights. Roosevelt's crowning achievement to Americans was the Social Security Act, which he signed in 1935, creating the pension, insurance for the old-aged, the blind, the physically handicapped, delinquent, and other dependents by taxing employees and employers; in essence, Americans were providing for their own futures. Social Security still exists today, and though some people oppose it, it no doubt provides a valuable service to people unable to care for themselves—which was Roosevelt's strong point: appealing to the "forgotten man". However, he had yet another lasting achievement that truly revolutionized America.
After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, it became apparent that speculation and overselling stocks and bonds were key causes of the crash. Roosevelt passed the Federal Securities Act to encourage honesty during the sale of stocks and bonds; promoters were required to transmit to the investor sworn information regarding the soundness of their investments. While many crooked businessmen hated Roosevelt for this, many historians argue that his wise actions saved the American system from untimely demise. With the passage of this Act, Roosevelt encouraged fairer trading and less speculation, which ultimately revitalized the American economy.
Roosevelt was a revolutionary for his time. He challenged the accepted role of government in society by intervening to improve the quality of life for countless Americans. Though his actions were controversial, it is clear that they had a positive effect on American society. Ultimately, though, it would take World War II to lift the American economy out of the Great Depression; Roosevelt's New Deal served to satisfy the American people's demands for action until America joined the war in 1941.
You just finished Roosevelt and the Revolutionary New Deal. Nice work!

The New Surge
Giving thanks for Scars From Rain!
Showcasing their epic power ballads and heavy metal tracks, Scars From Rain released their first 4 Track EP, Birthright, in March 2016.
SCARS FROM RAIN, from left, Jose, Mike, Stefan, Grace, Felipe (Photo: Charlotte Weddell Photography)
WHO: Scars From Rain
Mike King – Vocals
Grace Hamylton – Bass
Jose Baptista – Guitar
Stefan Zinonos – Guitar
Felipe González – Drums
WHERE: London, England, United Kingdom
ABOUT: Scars From Rain was founded in London in 2013. They are a classy hard rock band with soulful vocals, great tunes and a polished production. Their debut single, "Paradise," was released in February 2015 for download. Showcasing their epic power ballads and heavy metal tracks, Scars From Rain released their first 4 Track EP, Birthright, in March 2016.
What would you say that your band has to offer that is different from what is out there?
We're quite a blend of a few different sounds and principles. We come from different backgrounds, ranging from more commercial hard rock and metal bands, to some more progressive, technical and heavier ones. Somehow, it all comes together really well.
We have a strong level of musical and technical proficiency as well as the softer touch to create interesting melodies that people can remember. We don't really hold any limits as to what we'll do music-wise.
What would you say is the essence behind your band, Scars From Rain?
We're a live, loud and crazy, heavy rock band from London that can't just be seen and heard; we have to be experienced.
It's five different outlooks on music, but still there's a coming together for a common goal; to make great music. The age range between us means that, in our influences, we're not just looking at one specific type of song.
It's harder to get people interested in one genre any more. Gone are the days when it was just Grunge, for example, on top. Now you have to offer more of a menu to keep your fans and try to turn casual music fans into your fans.
We have the passion, energy, desire and the ideas to do it and we want to be your band, the one you discover and follow all the way.
How do you compete in today's market?
Try to have a mix of songs that sound fresh but along the lines of bands that remind your fans of you, without completely stealing gimmicks.
You need, as a band, to turn yourself on in the way you play and the songs you record. If we can't convince ourselves that a song is strong enough to be a hit, we won't convince an audience.
So, we're very careful as to what we put out there, be it live performances, clips from rehearsals and/or images. It's trying to make "Scars From Rain" stand out, to catch the eye of someone that will latch on and stick with us.
SCARS FROM RAIN, from left, Stefan, Felipe, Mike, Grace, Jose
Describe your music. What do you want it to convey?
The EP sums up the band, good entertaining music, in your face, with strong lyrics and five musicians just going for it. We want to make this band as strong as possible and as big as we can.
"Flatlining" was designed to kick arse and make people listen, "Light Within My Misery" keeps that feeling going and the video was made to see and hear that feeling.
"Over You" is the feeling of someone, or something, pressing your self-destruct button, because we have all had those days, but there's always the want and desire to fight back against it.
"Paradise" rounds things off by slowing it down, a little bit, but we hope the listener comes away from this EP knowing they've heard something that makes them want to come back for more.
Define some of the goals for the band.
We are constantly challenging ourselves and pushing for the best possible music we can create. Birthright is a badge of honor and a standard we will all follow and aim to surpass.
Stay tuned, we're only getting started!

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
You can get from San Francisco to San Diego in several different ways, including flying, by train with Amtrak, or on the Greyhound bus. According to Google Maps you could also walk it in 185 hours or cycle it in 52 hours. However, let's start with the driving options, which is what most people want to know.
Driving from San Francisco to San Diego
The Fastest Route
The fastest way to get from San Francisco to San Diego is the inland route, along I-5. From San Francisco take I-80 East towards Oakland. In Oakland this becomes I-580 East, which eventually merges onto I-5 South. I-5 takes you all the way virtually to the center of San Diego.
Heading for I-5 South
Taking this fastest route between San Francisco and San Diego, the driving time is going to be about 6 hours till you reach Los Angeles, where traffic can become a problem. It's another 2 hours to San Diego from Los Angeles on I-5, but you have to allow for some traffic delays around the city. Being realistic, it's going to take about 9-10 hours to get to San Diego, and that's driving without a break.
The Scenic Route
If you want to drive the Pacific Coast Highway, then the first stretch to Los Angeles is going to take you about 9 hours without a break. That means you're not going to be able to stop and smell the roses, so plan to stop for at least one night and preferably more on the way.
The California Coast
We like to split the route up in Los Angeles as that's where you hit the big city, no matter which way you drive. Allow an hour or so at least before you can get back to the coast on the south side of LA. From here to San Diego is about 4 hours more, so you're looking at 14 hours all-in, taking the coastal route, and without breaks. If you can be flexible, stop for 2-3-4 nights along the way, or even longer. There's no shortage of amazing things to see and lovely towns along the way.
San Francisco Airport to San Diego
San Francisco Airport is 12 miles south of the city center, about a 15-minute drive under normal traffic conditions, though it can be longer during rush hour. If you want to pick up a rental car to drive to San Diego, it's much easier to travel out to the airport by taxi or public transport, and collect your car there.
If you're flying in to San Francisco and want to spend some time in the city before driving to San Diego, you don't have to rent a car for the whole time you're there. Parking in San Francisco is difficult and expensive, if you use a hotel's parking garage. San Francisco is an easy city to explore on foot and by public transport, or by taking taxis, so you don't need a car while you're there.
At the time of writing a taxi from San Francisco Airport to downtown San Francisco is about $45-50. You can easily pay that to park your car for just one night.
The other side of that is that when you hit the road in San Francisco in your car, you're on your way. Having to take a taxi to the airport, find the car rental place, and do the paperwork, all takes time and can easily add an hour to your journey. If time is of the essence then you might prefer to have your car with you in the city and pay for the parking.
San Francisco Airport to San Diego is about 7-8 hours if driving non-stop along I-5, but if you take the Pacific Coast Highway then it's more like 13-14 hours, so you'll want to stay overnight along the way.
San Francisco to San Diego: Other Options
San Francisco to San Diego by Train
You can get from San Francisco to San Diego by train on Amtrak, but there is no single through route the whole way. You will need to change trains once, in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, or Los Angeles.
The Coast Starlight train goes all the way from Seattle to Los Angeles, and the nearest station for San Francisco is in Oakland. The service currently operates three days a week in each direction, with a journey time of just over 12 hours.
Pacific Surfliner
Once in Los Angeles you can change to the Pacific Surfliner for the Los Angeles to San Diego stretch. This runs from San Luis Obispo to San Diego several times a day, so you could also change from the Coast Starlight to the Pacific Surfliner in San Luis Obispo or in Santa Barbara, where both trains also stop. Get schedules and prices on the Amtrak website.

Once a sleepy second fiddle to Southern culinary powerhouses like Charleston and Nashville, Greenville is stepping into the limelight with hot new restaurants. The town will soon be home to an outpost of Sean Brock's heirloom-crop-focused Husk and a food-centric market hall called the Commons. Other recent additions include modern Italian spot Jianna from Michael Kramer (the opening executive chef of McCrady's in Charleston, pre-Brock) and the moody speakeasy lounge Vault & Vator. It's an impressive collection of quality restaurants for a city of just over 67,000.

An island may be described as such, despite the presence of an artificial land bridge; examples are Singapore and its causeway, and the various Dutch delta islands, such as IJsselmonde. Some places may even retain "island" in their names for historical reasons after being connected to a larger landmass by a land bridge or landfill, such as Coney Island and Coronado Island, though these are, strictly speaking, tied islands. Conversely, when a piece of land is separated from the mainland by a man-made canal, for example the Peloponnese by the Corinth Canal or Marble Hill in northern Manhattan during the time between the building of the United States Ship Canal and the filling-in of the Harlem River which surrounded the area, it is generally not considered an island.
After asking Marcy to move out, David admits he cannot bear to be without her. She tells him she is dying, and they kiss. Trevor tries to connect with his father. Jeff files assault charges, preventing Carly from finding a job. She asks him to take the baby for an afternoon, unaware he has tipped Kat off to Carly's relationship with MacLaren. Under orders, a traveler murders her host's Cabinet-member husband, and instructs MacLaren to board a flight as Congressman Bishop's seatmate. In flight, MacLaren learns he is to activate a stasis field to save himself and Bishop, while all others aboard will die in a crash. MacLaren discovers Kat followed him on board, believing she would witness his infidelity. He instructs Kat and Bishop to use the stasis device, and attempts to survive impact unaided, using only Philip's knowledge of the crash. At the crash site, the team resuscitate Kat and Bishop, and Bishop is overwritten. To Carly's dismay, MacLaren is taken away by traveler paramedics before the team can reach him.
A century ago, Shanghai was China's star city, a cosmopolitan center of art, technology, and finance. Today, it's reclaiming that mantle, parlaying the economic boom that began in the 1990s into a world-class array of cultural and culinary attractions. On the West Bund riverfront, Tank Shanghai will transform disused oil tanks into a sprawling arts complex with a gallery, an education center, and parks when it's completed later this year. Farther north, the Norman Foster and Thomas Heatherwick–designed Fosun Foundation, with its façade of shifting bronze cylinders, began hosting performances and art shows last fall. The North Bund is being redeveloped with a park linking it to a new lifestyle development that's anchored by the city's first W Hotel. In the residential Minhang district, Cordis debuted in May, and Amanyangyun will open nearby after relocating Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, as well as 10,000 ancient camphor trees, from Jiangxi province. More luxury stays are still to come in 2018, including the Middle House, the Bulgari, and the Edition. —Samantha Culp
Finland's Archipelago Sea is the world's largest, with 25,000 miles of shoreline and innumerable islands. Still off the beaten track for international tourists, who gravitate toward Helsinki in summer and Lapland in winter, the archipelago is the well-kept secret of the Finns, generations of whom flock to family-owned islands. And there's never been a better time to join them, with increased airlift — including transatlantic flights on Norwegian Air starting around $350 — and a burgeoning food and beverage scene in nearby Turku, Finland's medieval capital. (Start at the Kauppahalli, or market hall, where the salmon is as fresh and flavorful as a summer tomato.) The archipelago has a subarctic glamour, with eerie, sunlit summer nights and dark winter days, its rocky, tree-lined islands dotted with storybook wooden cottages. Hike, bike, or drive the islands; or hole up on one all your own. —Molly McArdle
There is a difference between islands and continents in terms of geology.[8][9] Continents are the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for Australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the Australian plate). By contrast, islands are either extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g. volcanic islands), or belong to a continental plate containing a larger landmass; the latter is the case of Greenland, which sits on the North American plate.
Three high-ranking Travelers are sent back by the Director to put Grace on trial for violating protocols, overwriting a person who was not assigned to be her host, and sabotaging the Grand Plan. Mac and the team must give testimony at the trial that will determine if she should be overwritten or not. Meanwhile, the Faction is trying to replenish its numbers by overwriting people with the stored minds in the Quantum Frame. It transpires the trial was staged by the Director to flush out a Faction member from within the three Travelers judging Grace, which it successfully does, this leading to Mac's team securing the Quantum Frame.
Although the former Soviet republic might seem remote, Uzbekistan once sat at the very center of the world. In the first millennium, no traveler could pass from Asia to Europe without stopping in the Silk Road strongholds of Bukhara and Samarkand, and as a result these cities evolved into rich cultural centers. For intrepid travelers, today's Uzbekistan is a promised land: a Muslim-majority nation that's both safe and affordable, with few tourists and an abundance of well-preserved mosques and harems. And since the death of authoritarian president Islam Karimov last year, the new regime has taken steps toward reform that have given both Uzbeks and the international community reason for optimism. Improving relations with Iran could soon bring a rail link to the Persian Gulf, and in 2016, the Afrosiyob high-speed-train line began connecting the country's major cities. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan should benefit from the so-called Iron Silk Road, or Trans-Asian Railway — a Chinese-funded network of routes knitting together Beijing and Europe — once a segment connecting the country through Kyrgyzstan is completed.

Kathryn confronts MacLaren about an affair she believes he is having, leading him to end his relationship with Carly. Charlotte, the misfire historian, is overwritten and murders her team. She attempts to assassinate Grace, but Trevor stops her. Grace reveals that the anti-Director faction was responsible for the team's abduction. Charlotte is shot by Jeff while attempting to kill Carly. Ellis reveals that he has built a quantum frame that the Director, an advanced AI, can use to travel to the present to escape the faction. David is held at gunpoint by another assassin but is saved by Marcy. The team arrives at the farm where Trevor has received a text to destroy the frame. Boyd reveals she received an order to kill MacLaren and holds him at gunpoint; Carly later reveals having been given the same mission. Assassins surround the farm as Ellis shoots Trevor to keep him from harming the frame. Grace jumps in front of Trevor and is shot as well. Ellis shuts down the perimeter shield in the hope that the Director will help them and delivers a message to destroy the frame shortly before he dies. It is revealed that the people surrounding them are not anti-Director assassins, but FBI agents led by Forbes.
The band played various shows around the US and Canada throughout mid-late 2005, followed by an opening slot for Metric on their early 2006 tour. After Return to the Sea was released in April 2006, the band embarked on their first full headlining tour, playing small clubs around the US and Canada throughout May. They were joined by Cadence Weapon and Why? on the first half of the tour, and Cadence Weapon and Busdriver on the second. The band generally received critical acclaim for their live shows, which sometimes ended with the band leading the audience out of the venue "pied piper style" and onto the surrounding streets.

The Travelers Companies, Inc., commonly known as Travelers, is an American insurance company. It is the second largest writer of U.S. commercial property casualty insurance and the third largest writer of U.S. personal insurance through independent agents. Travelers is incorporated in Minnesota, with headquarters in New York City and its largest office in Hartford, Connecticut. Travelers also maintains a large office in St. Paul, Minnesota.[1] It has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since June 8, 2009.[3]
Travel to the Danish capital has jumped more than 80 percent in the past decade, thanks in part to René Redzepi's influential Noma restaurant (slated to reopen in its new location in February), as well as Scandinavian Airlines' ongoing flight expansion. Today, Copenhagen is teeming with inspiring places to eat and drink, in addition to a number of sleek new hotels — so much so that the New Nordic food, beverage, and design movement has now spread worldwide. Even before it debuted in July, Restaurant Barr — the beer-centric boîte by Redzepi and chef Thorsten Schmidt that occupies the old Noma plot — was already garnering international attention. Then there's Apollo Bar & Kantine, the recently minted, design-focused restaurant in the Kunsthal Charlottenborg gallery from Frederik Bille Brahe, proprietor of hit café Atelier September. Brothers Mikkel Borg Bjergsø and Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, of Mikkeller and Evil Twin Brewing, respectively, have in the last couple of years introduced the world to experimental Danish craft beer, and their brews can now be sampled at bars and beer halls across Copenhagen and beyond. Stylish new places to stay, such as Hotel Danmark and Sanders, as well as a revamp of the classic, Arne Jacobsen–designed Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, reinforce the reasons the Scandinavian aesthetic is so popular right now. —Kat Odell
A family of four are about to die in a car crash when the mother, father, and son become travelers. Charlotte, the daughter, retains her identity when the team's historian's transfer misfires, so MacLaren sends her to stay with her grandparents until the others complete their mission. Trevor, Carly, Marcy, and Philip are abducted and interrogated about the future until Carly kills their guard. David alerts MacLaren when Marcy does not come home, who is able to find and rescue the team with Officer Boyd. MacLaren was forced to cancel the team's mission with the family team, and Carly speculates this was their unidentified captor's goal.
To prevent an explosion that kills thousands, the team steals antimatter from a military convoy. The material's intended recipient is a new traveler who fails to prevent his host's suicide, forcing the team to improvise. After failing to upgrade their containment device, the team returns the antimatter to its origin facility. They form a tenuous alliance with Dr. Delaney, who produced the antimatter; history records her as complicit in the weaponization of antimatter, but she actually opposes Major Gleason's ambitions. MacLaren informs Delaney that they will return soon. Philip retains his host's heroin addiction. MacLaren meets his wife, Kat, but also resumes a preexisting relationship with Carly. Marcy works to build trust with a confused David.
Known as the Tibet of Japan, the remote Iya Valley is tucked away in the mountainous interior of Shikoku, the least visited of the country's four main islands. Tourism to the region took a leap forward when it hosted the World Rafting Championship in 2017 — putting its turquoise Class Four rapids firmly on the adventure-travel map. New ziplines and hiking trails are sprouting up in the canyons, while upgrades have been made to accommodations in the area's traditional thatched-roof farmhouses, or minkas. Chiiori House is the most luxurious; the property also maintains an excellent portfolio of more affordable options. —Adam Harney Graham
Visitors may want to return to the Belgian capital in 2018 to visit two cutting-edge museums. The Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art opened in the once-infamous Molenbeek district's old Belle-Vue brewery this past spring, to showcase contemporary art from around the world. There's also the Citroën Cultural Centre, a new collaboration with Paris's Centre Pompidou, which will launch its first exhibition in May. The edgy JAM Hotel, an industrial-chic property with exposed brickwork and concrete beams housed in a former art school, is the perfect place for culture-lovers to stay. Don't leave town without paying homage to Belgium's UNESCO-recognized beer culture at youthful breweries like Brasserie de la Senne or Brussels Beer Project, both of which are shirking brewing traditions in favor of more experimental microbrewery techniques. —Meredith Bethune
Almost all of the Earth's islands are natural and have been formed by tectonic forces or volcanic eruptions. However, artificial (man-made) islands also exist, such as the island in Osaka Bay off the Japanese island of Honshu, on which Kansai International Airport is located. Artificial islands can be built using natural materials (e.g., earth, rock, or sand) or artificial ones (e.g., concrete slabs or recycled waste).[14][15] Sometimes natural islands are artificially enlarged, such as Vasilyevsky Island in the Russian city of St. Petersburg, which had its western shore extended westward by some 0.5 km in the construction of the Passenger Port of St. Petersburg.[16]
In January 2007, Travelers agreed to pay US$77 million to six states to settle a class action suit and end investigations into its insurance practices.[36][37] The charges involved paying the insurance broker Marsh & McLennan Companies contingent commissions to win business without the knowledge of clients, thus creating a conflict of interest.[38] Additionally, the investigation examined whether Travelers had created the illusion of competition by submitting fake bids,[39] thus misleading clients into believing they were receiving competitive commercial premiums.[40]
A picture-perfect trio of islands lapped by turquoise waters, the Maltese archipelago has all the charm of nearby Sicily with far fewer tourists. Valletta, the tiny nation's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, feels like something plucked straight from Westeros. The historic walled city dates back to 1565, and has a vibe that's Mediterranean with a North African twist. This underrated destination is finally stepping into the global limelight as a 2018 European Capital of Culture. To celebrate the occasion, the city has planned more than 140 projects and 400 events throughout the year. The festivities begin on January 20, with contemporary dance, a choral symphony, and acrobatic performances across the city's four main squares. Should you miss the grand opening, swing by in February for Carnival, or in June for the Malta International Arts Festival and the Valletta Film Festival. —Diana Hubbell
Saint Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. was founded March 5, 1853, in St. Paul, Minnesota, serving local customers who were having a difficult time getting claim payments in a timely manner from insurance companies on the east coast of the United States. It barely survived the Panic of 1857 by dramatically paring down its operations and later reorganizing itself into a stock company (as opposed to a mutual company). It soon spread its operations across the country. In 1998 it acquired USF&G, known formerly as United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, an insurance company based in Baltimore, Maryland, for $3.9 billion in stock and assumed debt.[5][6] By buying USF&G, they went from the 13th to the eighth largest property and casualty insurance company in the United States. Through economies of scale between the two companies, and a difficult business environment, they downsized the company substantially over the coming years by selling certain business units to focus on more profitable business units.[7][8]
Exposure to the great outdoors comes with immeasurable health benefits, but as our lives continue to get busier, it becomes harder to spend time outdoors. Humana and NPF are celebrating the significant benefits of spending time outdoors in our new Owners Guide by offering tips on how to start replenishing and refreshing your mind, body, and spirit in a national park.
Following the abrupt breakup of The Unicorns in 2004, members Nicholas Thorburn and Jamie Thompson simultaneously formed Islands and hip-hop group Th' Corn Gangg, and recorded Islands' debut album, Return to the Sea during 2005. The album was recorded at Breakglass Studio and Thompson's bedroom in Montreal, Canada, and was produced by audio engineer/record producer Mark Lawson.


Admittedly, I've never been the person that loved green bean casserole during Thanksgiving. I just didn't get the obsession. HOWEVER, a bunch of you requested this on Instagram and in our AK Facebook community group, so I knew I had to make it GOOD.
AND OH MY LEONARDO DICAPRIO (or as I like to say OMLD) this homemade green bean casserole was beyond glorious. So creamy, delicious, crunchy, and fresh.
Now that I think about it, I'm really not sure where the original green bean casserole recipe came from. Was it the back of the Campbell's cream of mushroom soup? Created by a midwestern Grandma with a bunch of random stuff in her cupboard? Beats me, all I know is that it's a favorite Thanksgiving side dish and that it needed a serious makeover.
My version is a combination of two homemade classics. I was inspired by Alton Brown's crunchy onion topping and then got my filling inspiration from Bon Appetit's best ever green bean casserole.
Of course, I lightened it up a little more where I could using less butter and chicken broth instead of heavy cream. After the first bite, I knew that this would forever be a family favorite.
3.) the fact that it isn't made with cream of mushroom soup. JUST SAYIN.
I hope you get a chance to try this recipe out during your Thanksgiving. It's absolutely delicious, makes yummy leftovers and SO much better than the green bean casserole we're all used to.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Place sliced onions in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil then add in flour, panko bread crumbs, garlic powder and salt. Use your hands to toss to combine, then place onions onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, using a tong to toss the onions every 10 minutes. Once done cooking, set onions aside. Reduce the heat in the oven to 350 degrees F.
While the onions are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans in two batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per batch. I like to remove the green beans from the water with metal tongs and transfer to a large bowl, then repeat with additional green beans. Set aside.
Next cook your mushrooms: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in 2 tablespoons butter. Once butter melts, add in the mushrooms, fresh thyme and salt and pepper. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally until mushrooms are nice and golden brown; about 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
In the same skillet you cooked the mushrooms, add in 2 tablespoons of butter and place over medium heat. Once butter melts, whisk in flour and cook for 15-30 seconds until a paste forms, then very slowly add 2 ½ cups of the broth, while you continue to whisk away any lumps. You'll need to whisk pretty vigorously. Once smooth, increase heat, and bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes stirring every so often until sauce thickens up a bit, similar to a gravy. If it gets too thick, add in ½ cup more broth. Once thick, turn off the heat and stir in minced garlic and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
To make gluten free: Use gluten free breadcrumbs and gluten free all purpose flour.

OH MY LANTA I have been (im)patiently waiting for this to come out for my Thanksgiving grocery list. It looks so good!
looks great!!! I am gluten intolerant , can I use corn starch instead of flour?
I would use gluten free bread crumbs + gluten free all purpose flour!
Looks great! Do you think you can make day before? Perhaps do onions day of so they don't get soggy?
Could you include salt content in nutritional information?
Yes, absolutely! I would do the onions on the day of though.
can it be made without the parmesan and butter if want a dairy free version?
I recommend checking your oven for onion time, as mine were burnt black after only 20 min. I tossed at 10 so at some point between in the 10-20 min mark they burned up. I had also used more olive oil to get the flour and Panko crumbs to actually stick together a bit. Will update after I taste the dish.
Hi Kim — Sounds like your oven may run hot? Another tip is to make sure you aren't putting them on the bottom or top racks when baking. I had no issues with the onions burning black, and that seems especially odd for only 20 minutes of baking time. Since onions are ususally juicy, the flour should coat the onions fairly well and upon baking the water in the onions will release, which sticks to the flour more. I hope these tips help in the future!
Thanks. Sounds like my slices were thinner than yours. Yep, middle rack of course. sadly I couldn't use half the batch but not huge into that part of a casserole anyway.
I had the same issue; I just removed the onions a bit sooner but some burnt. I also used more olive oil to get the bread crumb mixture to stick.


This morning I picked a bunch of raspberries, and now they're jam. Not as much jam as I would have liked, perhaps—I wanted to make two batches but my reckoning was off and I was short of both raspberries and sugar. Still, with the pickles I also made that's a total of two gallons of preserves in one day, which is fairly respectable, I think. We may make it through the winter yet!
