On April 15,2012 Taliban attacked US embassy and Afghan parliament in Kabul . Taliban fired rockets and assault rifles in the direction of the US Embassy, Taliban. Nato headquarters and other official buildings as gunfire and explosions rocked the heart of the Afghan capital. The sound of blasts and gunfire echoed through the city, as several attackers armed with rocket-propelled grenades and suicide vests were targeting government buildings near the embassy district. According to the police authorities gunmen were firing from a tall office building that is under construction at Kabul's Abdul Haq square, which is about 300 yards from the US Embassy. According to Lugar vice Police Chief Raees Khan stated that the suicidal bombers also attacked Jalalabad and Lugar Province, where Airport , US Marine Post and Governor house have been targeted by the groups of Taliban . In these attacks many people, killed and injured, exact number of casualties have not been released by the sources or government officials. Panic amongst government officials and masses have been noticed.
The American Embassy is on the edge of the Wazir Akbar Khan area, and gunfire and explosions rocked the area, which is home to a number of other foreign missions. One rocket also landed on a building housing privately owned Tolo TV and another near a minivan carrying school children.
However Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid accepted the responsibility and said a number of suicide bombers were attacking At least 9 people were killed and 23 wounded in the four attacks, and a gun battle around a half-built high-rise building raged on into the evening as NATO and Afghan attack helicopters circled overhead.
Earlier on September 13, 2011 at least 9 people were killed and 23 wounded in the four attacks, and a gun battle around a half-built high-rise building raged on into the evening as NATO and Afghan attack helicopters circled overhead. At that time fighters had also chosen a strategic and heavily fortified main target for the well-coordinated attacks
Despite the announcement of US exit strategy, it has been noticed that Taliban have increased the intensity of attacks over local rulers, Nato forces, US Marines and Indian reflect that Taliban will not goging to accept any presence of foreign forces even after 2014. Violence is at its worst since U.S.-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban government in late 2001, with high levels of foreign troop deaths and record civilian casualties. Attacks in throughout Afghanistan shows that Taliban launched a coordinated attack with the help of local security elements. In late June 2011, Reportedly, RAW planted militants launched an assault on a hotel in the capital frequented by Westerners, killing at least 10. At that Taliban did not claimed the responsibly since they believes in hospitality.
Notably, 14 hours before on at 0001am a group of militant attacked apparently six blocks in Bannu central jail. Of a total 944 prisoners in the jail, 384 escaped, said another police official.
"We have freed hundreds of our comrades in Bannu in this attack. Several of our people have reached their destinations, others are on their way," a Taliban spokesman while claiming the responsibility has said that it was jointly staged attack of Afghanistan and Pakistan based Taliban The extremist groups have carried out a series of jailbreaks, often in Afghanistan. However, it was rare case in Pakistan. Anyhow according to reliable sources, another group of Taliban declined the how another responsibility of attacking Pakistani Jail and Kabul. Therefore, Taliban declining of attacking Bannu Jail and hitting Kabul on the next morning means that there are some CIA and RAW sponsored elements that don't believe in peace process and in time departure of US led Nato Force from Afghanistan.
In short collation partners of Afghanistan should force US to carry out negations again with the true stack holders for their smooth and complete exit from the region.

Broken Yogi 2020

Yoga combats arthritis, scoliosis, osteoporosis, imbalances, muscle weakness, pain and mental suffering. Or it increases it. Everything is the result of how you're made and how you do things. And then there is how you are guided to manage these things. Organization, meaning how our body organizes itself, is key but we are mostly messy and subject to outside opinions of "cleanliness". In yoga cleanliness is not described as the opposite of dirty but an inner shine. It is a component of a larger picture of contentment. In the late eighties and nineties many of us yoga enthusiasts were taught to invite discomfort, to force ourselves past normal range of motion, to work till the breath was ragged and then work to control that breath. It was stimulating, emotionally revealing, challenging in the best of ways. It did feel like making diamonds from carbon. Yoga was young in the U.S.. We were young. For many bodies that was fine until time changed those bodies and the practice naturally evolved with aging. For some bodies that was fine until it wasn't and it was too late to undo the damage. About 25 years ago I began to feel the effects of pushing my body to the limit. In fairness I'd been told by a rheumatologist that my ligaments lacked integrity and yoga was the worst thing my body could do. It would destroy me. I discounted that at a time when movement came so easily and yoga was a dance that satisfied me wholly. I probably should have stuck to my own practice of dance incorporating yoga as that never...
What Does Karma Have to Do With Your Yoga Practice?
by Hilary Lindsay | Mar 9, 2018 | anatomy, Asana, Limbs of yoga, Meditation, nashville yoga, Pranayama, therapeutic yoga, Yoga |
Karma describes the cycle of action creating a reaction which causes a further action. It is called the wheel of karma because it is a loop. It can indicate a lack of consciousness when the reactions do not reap positive change. In your asana practice it can manifest as non-productive aggression. That aggression results in discomfort. Yet asana is described as a comfortable seat. How do you manage karma in your yoga practice in a yoga class? Mimic the outer form of the posture. That is the guide and imposition of external force. That is the action. Then move within that form until it is comfortable. That is the reaction. Extend yourself with your breath into the outer reaches of that form. Adjust again and again until you are comfortable even for two breaths. Hold the space in the pose because you have stability because you can do that now. Be in the pose and don't push. The breath is all the action you need. Receive and release the breath. Do not force it. If your pose has a positive effect the movement of breath will be pleasing. Recognize the sensation before you feel the need to shift again, because you will, because nothing but death is static. Notice what ease feels like as the wheel of karma momentarily stops. ...
No Stability, No Space. Closed Chain Yoga with Hilary Lindsay
by Hilary Lindsay | Jan 29, 2018 | anatomy, Asana, nashville yoga, Physiology, therapeutic yoga, Yoga, yoga class, yoga teacher, yoga teaching |
Closed chain describes exercise where the limbs are steadied by a constant surface. It keeps the energy in the distal and proximal length of the limbs at once and crosses several joints at once. It bounces us back to the spine. A modern yoga teacher often uses the word "open". Without a sense of center or place to open from, this description can be confusing in a physical yoga practice. Here the postures demand movement from the core. The core surrounds and supports the spine and brain. The sensation of opening in this case is the stretch of muscle bone and fiber once activated and rooted. This is stability. Once stable the nervous system calms and has space to pay attention, to direct attention. No stability~no space. Ignite what supports the spine and brain. Bring physical energy to the core in order to ground the student. Without grounding, opening is not only confusing but dangerous. Furthermore it makes for a whole lot of yoga absurdity. Who hasn't been in a group of open hearted yogis who are more posture than substance? I know I have. I have fled the yoga studio scene because of that lack of sincerity. Using unstable bands, bands that stretch, encourages the nerves to find center in an unstable world. It adds an element of reality to the practice of yoga with props. I am introducing yoga using therapy bands. For instruction contact me at activeyoga@comcast.net. My studio comes with me. Here is the first video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7NRrtDpP3g The cues for action and awareness will be...

Read the reviews and you'll see that the Sun Goddess has an addictive quality – once you ride in one, you'll find yourself needing another. If you like your cycling tops to be fitted, without being super tight, and/or lightweight without being clingy, you're going to love this style. Made of moisture wicking, antimicrobial fabric with UPF 50+ protection; 2 rear open pockets; full collar with tapered front; 10 inch front zipper; elastic-free arms and hemline; deep-cut racer back and longer length for on-bike coverage (center back length 25.5 inches). Semi-fitted.


Now we see an emerging number of global companies who are addressing climate change in a quite proper way. I understand that they really want to make a difference and take on some responsible actions, see for instance GE Power of Wind.
GE Model Miners is another example, however not so funny.
This is of course quite a step forward from deniers like CEI.org (video).
Humankind is getting closer, but we are still far from real action. CEI addresses facts in wrong way, GE is getting closer to truth, but what really makes a difference in mitigating climate change is stop adding greenhouse gases, i.e. stop digging up coal, gas and oil, from the ground.
Everything else is just business. As usual.

History of the Durango & Silverton Railroad
The City of Durango was founded by the Denver & Rio Grande Railway in 1880. The railroad arrived in Durango on August 5, 1881, and construction on the line to Silverton began in the fall of the same year. By July of 1882, only 11 months after construction began, the tracks to Silverton were completed and the train began hauling both passengers and freight. From the very beginning, the railroad was promoted as a scenic route for passenger service, although the line was constructed primarily to haul mine ores, both gold and silver, from the San Juan Mountains. It is estimated that over $300 million in precious metals has been transported over this route.
By 1885, the population of Silverton had grown to 1100 and Otto Mears completed the toll road to Ouray, and additional narrow gauge track out of Silverton was laid down in 1887. In 1893, 10 large mines in the Silverton district were forced to close when silver prices dropped from $1.05/oz to $.63/oz; just three years later, the Yankee Girl and Guston Mines played out. In Durango, the fire of 1889 virtually destroyed downtown and the first automobile arrived by train in 1902. By 1906, Mesa Verde was designated a National Park increasing the potential for tourism promotions.
Throughout the next twenty years the railroad faced many challenges; slides, floods, snow, war, and financial instability. When the United States entered WW I, the government assumed operation of the railroad. Shortly after resuming control of railroad operations, the D&RGW reorganized due to financial difficulties. Silverton suffered devastating effects from the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918 - 10 percent of the population died in just six weeks! In addition, the Gold King Mine closed, the Sunnyside Mine temporarily ceased operations for almost ten years and the Silverton Railroad closed.
With the start of WW II, the US Government requisitioned narrow gauge equipment to use in Alaska, and the smelter in Durango reopened to process uranium for use in the war; the smelter continued to process uranium instead of silver into the late 1940's due to the Cold War. By 1947, the Silverton branch was in danger of being abandoned; but a determined staff stepped in and helped to promote tourism, keeping the line alive. When Hollywood discovered Durango and the railroad, several movies showcasing the train were filmed in the area over the next ten years: Ticket to Tomahawk, Across the Wide Missouri, Denver & Rio Grande, Viva Zapata and Around the World in 80 Days.
During the latter part of the 1960's, the Durango-Silverton was registered as a National Historic Landmark and was awarded as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. In 1969, the D&RGW abandoned the tracks south of Durango, isolating the line and leaving the future of the railway in question. Hollywood continued its fascination with the area and the railroad with the filming of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. As the railroad prepared to celebrate its 100th birthday, Charles E. Bradshaw, Jr. purchased the
Silverton branch and with the restoration process complete, Engine #481 returned to service after 20 years in retirement.
Throughout the 1980's, the D&SNGRR continued to build on the scenic tourist railroad industry. Engines and coaches began to be weatherized for winter use; a third train to Silverton was added to the schedule along with an alternative fourth train to Cascade Canyon Wye; major track reconstruction occurred as nearly ten thousand ties were replaced. Locomotives #497 and #480 were restored and returned to service, the #497 being the only K-37 to run on the line, and the innovative RailCamp was built for use in the summer. In 1985, the D&SNGRR purchased the Silverton Depot, returning it to service. By 1986 there were four trains running to Silverton with a fifth running to Cascade Canyon Wye!
118 years later, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad continues to provide year-round train service, operating a historical train with rolling stock indigenous to the line. The locomotives used to pull today's train remain 100% coal-fired and steam-operated; the locomotives are 1923-25 vintage and are maintained in original condition. The coaches each feature bathroom facilities and are heated during the winter months for passenger comfort, and open gondola cars provide a panoramic view of the mountains. Concessions, snacks and beverages are available on every train.

Cambridge, MA, September 21, 2015 – EverQuote Inc., operator of the leading online auto insurance marketplace in the U.S., today released findings showing that marital status and occupation have significant correlation to the number of traffic violations drivers report when requesting auto insurance quotes online.
For the study, EverQuote analyzed three million auto insurance quote requests over an 18-month period to determine whether there are risk factors based on personal lifestyle.
Why does my marital status matter?
"Why did my insurance rate increase? It's not like I changed my driving habits the day I got divorced." That's a frequently heard statement from drivers of all ages. The truth of the matter is that auto insurance companies calculate risks based on large pools of people with similar characteristics – and from there derive the insurance premiums necessary to provide great coverage while remaining profitable.
Analyzing self-reported violations of drivers, EverQuote broke down the results by age across three categories - single, married or divorced.
As the data shows, regardless of the age of a driver, there is a consistent difference between their average violation counts. For nearly every age group, divorcees have the highest average number of violations per 100 drivers.
Started in 2011, EverQuote, Inc. operates the leading online auto insurance marketplace in the U.S. Our data & technology platform unites drivers with agents and carriers to deliver great rates and coverage while maximizing policies sold for auto insurance providers. 90 of our 140 employees are data scientists or engineers. EverQuote ranks No. 70 on the Inc. 500 fastest growing private companies and is one of the highest-growth companies in Boston history. The company was founded with the vision of applying a scientific, data-driven approach to help consumers find the best price and coverage for their individual insurance needs.

I really enjoy working with Diana and George from TravelFuse. Firstly they answer quickly, and I say it from my own experience, in comparision with other IT collaboration, that have not been the way I wanted. The IT solution that TravelFuse has offered me, suited my expectations: an exclusively online store with a permanently updated platform that allows the price and availability interrogation in real time.
After a year and a half, during while I have worked with a company that has dissapointed me, I have discovered TravelFuse solution. Their team has succeeded, in a very short time, to deliver us an user-friendly online store. Many thanks in special to George, who has been along step by step, but also to the entire team that worked for our website, and who gave us a product that suited our company's needs.
After the first year of my collaboration with TravelFuse, I can say that I can travel often, and iven if I have worked a lot, I got the biggest professional satisfactions. The E-Commerce Platform from TravelFuse is developing constantly and the Agregator gives me a clear image of the travel market, without loosing any precious time.
The first 8 months from the release of the project Concediu.com, a project developed on the platform of the Company TravelFuse, represented for us the most interesting and intensive months.
An online project is not only technology, marketing or a well prepared team. For us, this project leans a lot on the technical support. Without it we could not grow and function on the desired level. I wish to thank TravelFuse team for believing in our project alt least as much as we have, and for their capacity to develop it. I also wish to thank them for releasing my website in record time, for their pacience and support, that we have all the time. We are happy to have you as partners every day!
Our experience with the platform and with TravelFuse team can be described with these words: performance, innovation, adaptability, professionalism and permanent support.
All the clients of HH Travel&Events have instant online access to the prices and availabilities in real time for all the turistical services shown on the website, thanks to TravelFuse Platform that integrates the most important tour operators and guarantees the security of all the online transactions.

The website www.romanian-adventures.ro is a dream come true, that became reality with TravelFuse's help. After a year, the numbers can speak for themselves: the Romanian Seaside has registered an increase of 100%, the Danube Delta Region 40% and the Mountain Region also 40%.

You can only imagine that all these years I had the products but not the store to present them. TravelFuse gave us the best online store for our products.

It allows us to send to our clients,via email, the desired offers, in a very short time and it also gives us the possibility to present different types of tourism in one preview to our fron office clients.
First of all it's important to work with great people. George is a professional, always prompt and ready to help.

You can find the best rates from each provider and you can make an offer with the selected items. Thank you George and TravelFuse team for your support!
The turistic industry has become extremely dynamic recently and, for us to align to the imposed standards, the solution was becoming a TravelFuse partner. We didn't need a complex platform; on the contrary, one easily to use, that could take over the informational flow directely from the providers, in real time. After a year, TravelFuse has become the type of partner that we wish to have along in the future.
TravelFuse E-Commerce is the perfect solution for our requirements from the tour operator's point of view and also from the reseller travel agency's point of view. We are satisfied with our collaboration. TravelFuse has been very attentive to our desires and has offered us each time the support we needed.

Real name and title: Tunc J.
What could be the reasons that I got such an output?
That's how I modeled it in SmartPLS 3.0.
You have a very strange (i.e., negative) estimate for rho_A and it seems that you are using PLSc.
With such a strange reliability estimate (similar to Haywood cases in CB-SEM where you have negative variances) you will get inadmissible solutions for some of your estimates such as path coefficients and loadings and subsequent estimates such as composite reliability and AVE. In contrast, Cronbach's Alpha is not based on any PLS results, but only on correlations between the indicators. Hence, it is not affected by the strange PLSc estimates.
Solution: Estimate your model with normal PLS or define the problematic construct as composite (formative) in PLSc. Indicators pointing inwards.
The reasons is that PLSc makes very strict assumptions about the data structure and requires common factor model data. If this is not fulfilled, it gives strange estimates. Usually, this is a sign that your construct is simply not a common factor (reflective) and should be estimated differently.

Rebecca Ferguson: a voice capable of silencing any army
Ever since that first Saturday night when Simon Cowell pulled back the curtain on mainstream pop music's most underhand dealings, there has been a certain type of artiste that a certain type of person struggles to take seriously.
What is often forgotten by those of us whose interest in chase-your-dream music-based reality television shows stops at the commercial breaks, however, is that between the tone-deaf girl group that gets voted off in the first week and the insipid, interchangeable boys beloved of teenage girls there is usually at least one remarkable voice. In 2010 that voice belonged to Rebecca Ferguson, a 25-year-old Scouse mother of two who ultimately came second to Matt Cardle. No, me neither. But I looked it up.
In red lipstick and a floor-length silver gown there was no question that Ferguson looked the part as she shimmied onto the stage last night, but it remained her voice that set her apart. Smoky, soulful, expressive - close your eyes and you could almost be transported back to some 1930s speakeasy. It's a voice that deserved the subtleties of a proper backing band, but instead of brass there was a synthesiser and at least one guitar too many.
This was a voice that could make a compelling case out of the phone book
Much of what was on show was taken from Heaven, her double-platinum debut that, if interviews are to be believed, has far more input from the lady pictured on its sleeve than the polished television image would normally leave space for. Ferguson introduced these tracks shyly, a different person between numbers, adjusting her strapless dress with a giggle. "I'm a completely different person than I was at my first audition; I had no confidence then," she said, and while she has certainly grown into an assured performer, these interludes came across like over-appreciative beauty-pageant platitudes. The audience, party to her televisual journey, roared appreciatively.
Lyrically some of those self-penned compositions left a little to be desired ("Shoulder to Shoulder" was described as being about "when youse are in love but youse keep bringing each other down when love should be free"), but the sentiment, although clumsy, rang true. And this is a voice that could make a compelling case out of the phone book. It was what made some of the Seventies-style disco numbers a little disappointing: they were performed excellently, of course, but with so much going on in the background it could have been anybody up there.
Perhaps that's why some of the set's finest moments came from cover songs. Kings of Leon's "Knocked Up" was not an obvious choice, but Ferguson's refusal to touch the original gender pronouns turns by-the-numbers rock into wicked, soulful rebellion. "A Change Is Gonna Come", the song that got her through The X Factor's auditions, benefitted from stripping away some of the instruments, but without the backing-vocal histrionics it would have silenced an army. I know this because of the power and beauty with which its final line was delivered.
Towards the end we were treated to the three tracks of her own; they were probably the strongest of the night: "Fairytale", a big bombastic pop number about the magic of schoolgirl crushes; "Run Free"; and debut single "Nothing's Real But Love" which had most of the auditorium on their feet. That what we were witnessing was the birth of a bona fide pop star I have no doubt - give it a year and watch this space.

Sex für Anfänger (Roger Dodger, zu Deutsch etwa Roger, der Schwindler) ist eine US-amerikanische Filmkomödie von Dylan Kidd aus dem Jahr 2002.

Handlung
Roger Swanson arbeitet in New York City in der Werbebranche. Eines Tages macht seine ältere Freundin Joyce, die gleichzeitig seine Chefin ist, Schluss mit der Beziehung.

Swanson wird von seinem 16-jährigen Neffen Nick aus Ohio besucht. Nick offenbart später seinem Onkel, dass er noch Jungfrau sei. Er bittet Swanson um Ratschläge, wie man eine Frau verführen kann. Swanson besucht mit ihm einige Lokale, bis sie in einer Bar auf Andrea und Sophie treffen. Swanson gibt sich Nick gegenüber als erfolgreicher Frauenheld aus, aber erweist sich mehr und mehr als verbitterter Verlierer, während der sympathische Nick nur an seiner Unerfahrenheit und mangelnden Menschenkenntnis scheitert. Swanson gibt schließlich vor, er habe Nick durch sein Verhalten einen Vorteil verschaffen wollen. Der Versuch, zumindest eine der beiden Frauen zu verführen, endet schließlich erfolglos, wobei Swanson es fertigbringt, die Schuld daran Nick zuzuschieben, obwohl er selbst es war, der die Frauen mit seinem Zynismus und seiner Dreistigkeit abgeschreckt hat.

Swanson nimmt seinen Neffen mit zu einer Party bei seiner Chefin namens Joyce. Nick versucht dort zunächst, die betrunkene Sekretärin von Joyce zu verführen. Er bekommt jedoch ein schlechtes Gewissen und lässt sie schlafen. Swanson macht währenddessen Joyce und ihrem neuen, wesentlich jüngerem Freund vor den Kollegen eine Szene und wird schließlich mit Nick vor die Tür gesetzt.

Swanson hat eigentlich genug von dem Abend, aber da Nick unbedingt seine Unschuld verlieren will, nimmt er ihn mit in ein heruntergekommenes Bordell. Nick gerät an eine abgebrühte Prostituierte, die den Akt mit ihm schnell hinter sich bringen will. Swanson, der zunächst draußen gewartet hat, mischt sich ein, und nach einer chaotischen, tumultartigen Szene finden sich Onkel und Neffe erneut draußen auf dem Bürgersteig wieder. Der betrunkene, frustrierte Nick fällt über Swanson her, und wortlos raufen sie eine Weile inmitten von Müllsäcken. Schließlich muss Swanson den völlig erschöpften Jungen heim in seine Wohnung tragen.

Am nächsten Tag entschuldigt sich Nick bei Swanson und verabschiedet sich. Nicks Mutter machte sich bereits Sorgen weil sie Nick seit zwei Tagen nicht gesehen hat und ist erleichtert, als er wieder da ist.

In der Schule sitzt Nick mit seinen Kumpels zusammen. Sie reden über eine attraktive Mitschülerin. Nick vermeidet, mit seinen eher peinlichen Abenteuern in New York zu prahlen; vielmehr phantasiert er eine Szene herbei, wie Swanson mit bei den Jungs sitzt und das große Wort führt. Swanson spricht Nicks attraktive Mitschülerin an und macht sie auf Nick neugierig, genau wie zuvor in New York bei Andrea und Sophie. Der Film lässt offen, wie Nick reagieren wird.

Kritiken

Kenneth Turan schrieb in der Los Angeles Times vom 25. Oktober 2002, man spüre nicht, dass der Regisseur mit diesem Film debütiert habe. Dylan Kidd habe einen der seltenen Filme gemacht, die interessanter und komplexer seien als derer Beschreibung klinge. Die Darstellung von Campbell Scott bereichere den gespielten Charakter um "Trostlosigkeit" und "Schwermut". Die Kameraführung verleihe den Ereignissen "Intimität" und "Direktheit".

Auszeichnungen

Dylan Kidd gewann drei Auszeichnungen der Internationalen Filmfestspiele von Venedig 2002, darunter den FIPRESCI Prize. Außerdem gewann er 2002 Preise des Tribeca Film Festivals und des San Francisco Film Critics Circle und wurde für einen Preis des Thessaloniki Film Festivals nominiert. Er und Jesse Eisenberg gewannen 2002 Preise des San Diego Film Festivals. Campbell Scott gewann im Jahr 2002 den Preis des National Board of Review. Joaquín Baca-Asay gewann 2002 den New York Film Critics Circle Award.

Dylan Kidd in den Kategorien Bestes Regiedebüt und Bestes Drehbuch sowie Campbell Scott wurden im Jahr 2003 für den Independent Spirit Award nominiert. Craig Wedren wurde 2003 für den Golden Satellite Award nominiert. Dylan Kidd gewann 2003 den Chicago Film Critics Association Award, und den Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival Award sowie wurde für den Gotham Award und für den Online Film Critics Society Award (in zwei Kategorien) nominiert.

TV winners included "Big Little Lies," "Veep," and "The Handmaid's Tale."
Following a victory at the February 10 USC Libraries Scripter Awards, veteran director James Ivory — the 89-year-old screenwriter of "Call Me by Your Name" — received a standing ovation when, as expected, he accepted the adapted Screenplay award for his first solo script. "I just wanted to go and make a film in Italy again," he joked.
The actors, producers and directors guilds have already proclaimed their favorite titles of the past year. For the 70th annual Writers Guild Awards, Patton Oswalt returned for the third time as host. "Good evening, fellow Disney employees," his monologue began, citing the studio's $52.4 billion acquisition of 20th Century Fox this past December.
Oswalt also acknowledged two local Democratic leaders in the audience: City Councilmember Paul Koretz and U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, who has criticized President Trump for blocking the release of a Democrat memo stipulating that the FBI lawfully conducted surveillance on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page. He earned the night's most rousing standing ovation. "Ever think you'd be the writers of the hottest spec script, which your boss refuses to read?" Oswalt quipped.
At the Beverly Hilton, trophies were be handed out to film, television, radio, news, video game and promo writers in more than 30 categories. HBO did well, winning television prizes for "Big Little Lies," "Veep," and "The Handmaid's Tale," which triumphed as best New Series and Drama Series.
Read on for the full list of winners.


For kids who would rather hit the powder than the books, Burton has delivered all mountain, four season utility on a budget. Introducing the Burton Elodie Snowboard Jacket. Chock-full of pro-level features like tons of microfleece pockets and market-standard waterproofing, they'll be the talk of the playground all season long. The DryRide Durashell exterior is just as durable as they are, and keeps them on the mountain long after their friends have one in for hot cocoa. Blazing 100g insulation mapped throughout means they'll never sacrifice their warmth and comfort for mobility and articulation; they'll get the best of both worlds.


Another piece off the Ceramic Collection by Bering is the Bering 11435-767, a spinoff of its sisters from the same collection.
The piece exhibits the exact same features such as quartz movement, 5-atmospheric water resistance, round stainless steel face studded with Swarovski elements and sapphire crystals. The chains are linked together with stainless and ceramic pieces.
The factor that sets this piece is that it is coated in the coolness of blue. The backdrop and the dials are all covered in this shade of royal blue, making it a nice catch as well. Perfect for any occasion, who says that Bering does not have variance?


Classic design is what most homes have. It is in everyone's comfort zone until people want to break free. Generally these styles have warm textures and offer a cozy, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The furniture has sharp edges that make it quite distinct. Some people will live their lives in such a homey ambient and will not transmute it for the world.
Ethnic design has many fabrics of many colors and this is where people who like accumulating articles made by craftsmen from all over the world and exhibit them in the room at consummately ecstatic. Traditional handicraft articles are mostly homey here and do not seem malapropos at all. This style is for people who have vigorous tastes and predilections for sundry components of the world and relish to bring a piece of them to their own home.
Asian style is quite popular nowadays in many homes that appear as the best room design ideas. One of its main characteristics is the appearance of cherry blossoms in fabrics and other materials. The cherry tree is a vigorous symbol in some Asian countries, hence its popularity in this furniture style.
It is very facile to include the cherry blossom in the home furnishing as an integrated accent, all you require to do is hunt for some authentic looking cherry blossom items that are available in sundry crafts stores and bring them as an extra piece to the room.


While most CEOs acknowledge that great talent is necessary for success, hiring such talent is tough work.
For digital entrepreneur and investor Pete Yoong, every talent has a potential for greatness, a belief that culminated in the establishment of Pulsifi.
Pulsifi is a predictive people profiling tool that is focused on understanding people using a multidimensional approach.
"I believe that everybody has potential for greatness. Everybody!" Yoong emphasises.
"Pulsifi was built to help people and companies find their potential for greatness," he adds.

Q: Want to run two instances of a mySql CRM app (one desk side and one webserver side) and want both databases to be synced Want to run two instances of a mySql CRM app (one desk side and one webserver side) and want both databases to be synced.
I like the CRM on the desktop because it is fast and I can set the settings as the admin for my viewing and I can continue working in the event of a loss of internet connectivity (then sync the dbase after reconnecting to the server dbase). I want to make a hosted instance of the CRM for my staff and when I am on the road. The databases should be showing the same data in real time. Effectively it is real time back-up system. Is there an existing way to already do this with mySql dbases without having to program anything? A plug-in or something?

A: Try using MySQL replication http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication.html
It is too long topic to start describing it here. Just search for information about implementing it.

Audi A4, 2007: The Weekly Driver Car Review
The A4 is Audi's top-selling line and it's available in three different models and nearly 20 configurations in sedans, wagons and convertibles. Categorized as a premium compact car, it's a fine choice for drivers seeking a sporty sedan that smoothly finds its way in any driving scenario via stellar steering and handling and a sophisticated design.
[ad#post]
But not everything is quite right with the A4 and its price point, particularly considering several option packages, provides more than one reason to consider other manufacturers' offerings.
My weekly test drive was the 2007 A4 sedan 2.0 T quattro AT6. It featured a 2.0-liter, 200-horsepower, DOHC turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
The A4 is a handsomely designed sedan and its attractive body style and exterior color (ocean blue pearl) combined to attract a good share of attention. Add the platinum-colored interior to the mix, and the Audi is among the nicest-looking sedans on the road.
Audi's other signature component is its aforementioned superior steering and handling. Every time I drove the car, I was impressed with Audi's engineering and the savvy permanent all-wheel drive system (quattro). The A4 grips the road, the steering seems ideally weighted and the vehicle gets above-average quietness marks.
The instrumentation and console offer clean lines and the gauges are well-designed, but awkwardly positioned. Why, for example, are the controls positioned so low on the dash?
One major issue with the A4 is that it's classified as a four-passenger sedan. The Audi has a rather deep and extended trunk, and as a result, even regular-sized rear seat passengers are pressed into tight quarters. There's minimal head and leg room, the rear cabin is cramped and the entry/exit areas are tight.
The A4 has a long list of impressive standard features, but the vehicle doesn't have seat warmers. While that may seem like a small complaint, many cars with base sticker prices $10,000 less have heated front seats among their respective standard features list.
My weekly driver included nearly $8,500 in options, including Convenience ($1,900, Premium ($1,900) and Audio ($1,000) packages. The Convenience package features Xenon headlights, dimming mirrors, power passenger seat, trip computer and rain/light sensor; The premium package includes the sunroof, leather seats and 17-inch double-spoke wheels and all-season tires; The Audio package includes a Bose sound system, and satellite radio.
Next add $750 for premium paint, $500 for Bluetooth technology, $250 for sport suspension and $720 for the standard destination charge and the A4 exceeds $40,000.
There are many reasons why the A4 is Audi's best-selling line, and there are far worse vehicles in the premium compact class. But it's hard to justify the A4's price tag and its costly options when interior space and a simply feature like seat warmers are not available at any price.
The Weekly Driver: 2007 Audi A4
