Nothing Gold Can Stay () is a 2017 Chinese television series directed by Ding Hei and starring Sun Li and Chen Xiao. The series aired on Dragon TV and Jiangsu TV from 30 August 2017 to 8 October 2017.

Background
The series is an original script based on the real-life story of Widow An Wu (安吴寡妇), who was known as the god-daughter of Empress Dowager Cixi.

Synopsis
Zhou Ying is sold to the powerful Shen family by her foster father, yet successfully escapes her childish and bratty master Shen Xingyi by sneaking into merchant Wu Pin's palanquin. After a failed business collaboration that resulted in Shen Yuesheng's (Xingyi's older brother) death, the Shen family suspects that Wu Pin was the culprit behind Yuesheng's death. Xingyi then injures Wu Pin by using a club to hit his forehead multiple times, causing Wu Pin to fall into a coma. After the bride-to-be's father has a last-minute change of heart, Zhou Ying is married to Wu Pin in an effort to dispel bad luck. Miraculously, Wu Pin wakes up on the same night, and the couple share a happy few months together. Wu Weiwen, the patriarch of the family also agrees to educate her in the matters of commerce after witnessing her remarkable business acumen.

Unfortunately, Wu Pin is poisoned to death after getting too close to the truth of the failed business collaboration, and Wu Weiwen's imprisonment and death a couple of months later leaves the entire household in disarray. Zhou Ying is determined to turn around their fortune by investing in a cloth factory in Shaanxi. She gains the trust of the Wu family and starts from scratch. Meanwhile, Shen Xingyi has also decided to turn over a new leaf, and starts anew in Shanghai. Shen Xingyi's love for Zhou Ying is initially unrequited, though she eventually acknowledges that she has developed romantic feelings for him. However, romantic affections become of little importance in the face of political upheaval and personal revenge – Shen Xingyi joins the anti-Qing reformist movement and plots to kill the Empress Dowager Cixi while Zhou Ying avenges Wu Pin and her father-in-law's deaths by taking Shen Sihai and Du Mingli head on. After much struggle, Zhou Ying ultimately establishes a business empire, and also lends Empress Dowager Cixi a helping hand when she escapes to Jingyang.

Reception

Critical response
The show was commercially successful, and dominated the television ratings throughout its run. Initially it generated much positive reviews and discussion on micro-blog site Weibo and popular review site Douban. However, halfway through its run, there have been complaints about inconsistent writing, the number of unnecessary character deaths, illogical business transactions and the female lead's excessive number of love interests, which ultimately left the drama with a 7.6/10 rating. Despite the negative reviews surrounding the story line, there has been near universal praise for the acting, directing and production values.

Amazônia: Photography by Sebastião Salgado Will Make its North American Premiere at the California Science Center on October 21, 2022
Press Release / September 27, 2022
LOS ANGELES, Ca. - Amazônia: Photography by Sebastião Salgado, designed by Lélia Wanick Salgado, will make its North American debut at the California Science Center on October 21, 2022. This multimedia experience, presented with generous support from the Annenberg Foundation, includes photography, video, and an enveloping soundscape of the forest and original music composed by an acclaimed French musician, Jean Michel Jarre. Amazônia explores the interconnected lives of the people and forest of the Amazon and their survival in the face of the rapidly encroaching outside world.
The 13,000 sq. ft. exhibition invites guests to explore more than 200 large-scale suspended photographs, including stunning portraits of indigenous leaders and their communities and dramatic landscapes taken over seven years of expeditions deep into the forest, captured by the world-renowned Brazilian photographer. Salgado's breathtaking black-and-white photographs draw viewers into one of the planet's most biodiverse regions.
"This extraordinary exhibition will enrich our understanding of life in the Amazon, the ongoing threats from the outside world, and the vital role of sustainable development and conservation to ensure its survival for generations to come," said California Science Center President and CEO, Jeffrey Rudolph. "We are honored to share Amazônia with our guests, and are immensely grateful for both the vision and generosity of Wallis Annenberg and the Annenberg Foundation for bringing this opportunity to our visitors."
"When I first saw the astounding work that makes up Amazônia, I felt a deep connection to parts of the Earth that my own eye had never seen," said President and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation, Wallis Annenberg. "I also felt a sense of outrage about the deforestation and the climate disruption ravaging the Amazon. Still, the photographs depicting the grit and strength of the indigenous peoples are awe inspiring. Amazônia is great art and great teaching and I so hope every Angeleno sees this groundbreaking exhibit."
Two projected video montages and interviews with indigenous leaders highlight the contemporary issues facing the guardians of the planet's largest rainforest and reveal how the lives of indigenous people are interconnected with their forest environment, its prosperity, and its fate.
"My wish, with all my heart, with all my energy, with all the passion I possess, is that in 50 years' time this exhibition will not resemble a record of a lost world," says Sebastião Salgado. "Amazônia must live on – and, always at its heart, its indigenous inhabitants."
The bilingual exhibit, presented in both English and Spanish, is organized in six different forest sections to explore:
Aerial Views – The exhibition provides visitors with a look at sweeping aerial shots of immense waterfalls and stormy skies.
Flying Rivers – The Amazon forest is the only place on Earth where aerial humidity does not depend on evaporation of the oceans. Instead, every tree sucks groundwater through its roots, and the moisture that reaches the leaves evaporates as vapor, projecting hundreds of liters of water per day into the atmosphere and creating "flying rivers," revealed in this exhibition, which carry even more water than the Amazon River itself.
Tropical Rains – Clouds, captured dramatically by Salgado, are an intrinsic part of the Amazon, offering an ever-changing spectacle.
Mountains – Brazil also boasts mountains, including the Pacaraima and Imeri mountain ranges, showcased in the exhibition, which feature peaks shrouded in mist and rainforest-covered lower slopes.
Anavilhanas – In the vastness of the Amazon rainforest lies the world's largest fresh water archipelago, known as the Anavilhanas. Between 350 and 400 islands of every imaginable shape rise out of the dark waters.
Ocas – In the center of the exhibition guests find three enclosures representing indigenous homes called "ocas." Together the ocas display 100 photographs of the people of the Amazon, along with video interviews of indigenous leaders.
Sebastião Salgado is a documentary photographer, born in Brazil and renowned worldwide for the power and emotion of his photo journalism and his dedication to environmental education, social justice, and conservation. Having studied economics, Salgado began his career as a professional photographer in 1973 in Paris, working with the photo agencies until 1994 when he and Lélia Wanick Salgado formed Amazonas Images, an agency created exclusively for his work, today their studio. Throughout this time, the Salgados had also been working to restore a portion of the Atlantic Forest, damaged over time through deforestation and degradation. In 1998, they transformed the land into a nature reserve and formed Instituto Terra, a foundation dedicated to its reforestation and conservation, along with related programs in environmental training and education. Over his long and illustrious career, Salgado has traveled in 120 countries and his work has been featured in books and films on diverse themes. His most recent exhibition Amazônia has been shown in Paris, Rome, London, São Paulo, Manchester, Avignon and Rio de Janeiro.
Amazônia opens at the California Science Center with the generous support of the Annenberg Foundation. Reflecting the educational mission of the Science Center and the core values of accessibility and inclusiveness shared by the Annenberg Foundation, admission to the exhibition is free.
California Science Center guests are encouraged to complement their visit with the IMAX movie Amazon Adventure 3D, where they'll experience the heart of the Amazon rainforest and trace the extraordinary journey of naturalist and explorer Henry Walter Bates. Filmed on location in the lush Amazon region, Amazon Adventure 3D plunges audiences into a wild world of beauty and captivating animal behavior. Visitors to the California Science Center can also extend their visit by exploring the Ecosystems gallery, which features an unprecedented blend of live plants and animals, and hands-on science exhibits in 11 immersive environments. From walking through a living kelp forest to experimenting on a polar ice wall, guests will investigate some of the Earth's most fascinating ecosystems and discover the ways various species have had to adapt to their unique environments.

Chlamydia pneumoniae (también llamada Chlamydophila pneumoniae) es una especie de bacteria patógena. Tiene una pared celular de clamidia, la cual, al igual que todas las bacterias Gram negativas, consta de dos membranas fosfolipídicas contiguas: una interna y otra externa. Entre ambas se reconoce un espacio periplásmico. Sin embargo, la capa de péptidoglicano que habitualmente ocupa este espacio en todos los Gram negativos, no existe en las clamidias. Como consecuencia, su pared celular es menos rígida y más susceptible a los cambios osmóticos.

Las clamidias presentan dos morfologías distintas, asociadas funcionalmente a su ciclo replicativo: el cuerpo elemental (CE) y el cuerpo reticulado (CR). El CE es la forma infectante. Es una estructura rígida, que le confiere resistencia en el medio extracelular. Como no posee peptidoglicano, esta rigidez está dada por los enlaces disulfuros de las proteínas integrales de la membrana externa. El CR es más grande, y es susceptibles a los cambios osmóticos. Es la forma replicativa y se encuentra en el interior de la célula huésped.

El ciclo replicativo de las clamidias es singular. El CE (cuerpo elemental, infectante) se adhiere a la superficie de la célula huésped (células endoteliales de las vías respiratorias y monocitos) y es endocitada por la misma, quedando dentro de un fagosoma. Normalmente, el fagosoma, se fusiona con los lisosomas para producir la eliminación del agente. Sin embargo, en el caso de las clamidias, la fusión fagolisosomal se inhibe permitiendo al microorganismo sobrevivir en su interior. Se cree que este mecanismo de escape, esta mediado por componentes de la envoltura de la inclusión secretado por la clamidia.

Después de seis a ocho horas de producido el ingreso a la célula, el CE se transforma en el CR, el cual se activa metabólicamente sintetizando DNA, RNA, y proteínas. Sin embargo, carece de las vías metabólicas necesarias para la producción de ATP, el cual toma directamente del citoplasma de la célula huésped. Por esta razón, a las clamidias se les conoce como parásitos energéticos. En este período, el microorganismo se reproduce activamente por fisión binaria, llenando el fagosoma de cuerpos reticulados. Este conjunto es conocido como cuerpo de inclusión. Al cabo de 48 a 72 horas los cuerpos de inclusión se rompen liberándose los cuerpos elementales infecciosos que han madurado en su interior (se produce lisis celular)

Aspectos clínicos y epidemiológicos de la infección por C. pneumoniae
Las manifestaciones clínicas de una infección aguda por C. pneumoniae varían desde las asintomáticas, hasta las potencialmente fatales. Los cuadros más comunes son neumonía y bronquitis. En menor frecuencia le siguen faringitis y sinusitis. También puede presentarse una combinación de estos cuadros. Sin embargo, lo más frecuente es la infección asintomática.

Más de la mitad de los adultos en EE. UU. y de varios otros países occidentales, poseen anticuerpos específicos contra C. pneumoniae. Asimismo, este parámetro es muy frecuente en niños en edad escolar, mientras que en menores de 5 años, es infrecuente. Dada la alta prevalencia de anticuerpos en la población general y la esperada declinación de los mismos tras la infección aguda, se cree que todas las personas se infectan en algún momento de su vida con C. pneumoniae y que la reinfección es un fenómeno común.

La infección crónica se asocia con la formación de la placa de ateroma, asociación etiológica que cumple los postulados de Koch. Esta infección sigue las mismas características de otras infecciones crónicas por las clamidias. La infección crónica no se asocia con la presencia de los mismos anticuerpos que se detectan en la infección aguda, como ocurre en la esclerosis tubárica tras infección por Chlamydia trachomatis. Igualmente se logra aislar a Chlamydia pneumoniae de la placa de ateroma en lesiones ateromatosas poco evolucionadas (Maass. 1997.8th European Congress CMID), similar al tracoma.

Similar al tracoma, en modelos experimentales, el empleo de antibióticos no modifica la evolución de aquellas lesiones muy evolucionadas (Fong. CDLI. 1999;6(6):891-894) y la inflamación crónica de la placa de ateroma y la infección es mantenida por episodios repetidos de reinfección.

Diagnóstico
El diagnóstico de neumonía es eminentemente clínico (con una semiología característica). Habitualmente se utilizan la radiografía de tórax que evidencian neumonías atípicas (consolidación difusa interticial).

El diagnóstico de infección por C. pneumoniae en los laboratorios de apoyo clínico, se realiza fundamentalmente por microinmunofluorescencia, la cual detecta los anticuerpos IgG e IgM producidos en respuesta contra este agente. Como la aparición de estos anticuerpos es lenta, su pesquisa sólo tiene un valor diagnóstico retrospectivo.

Otra técnica utilizada es el cultivo en líneas celulares HL, sin embargo, se descarta su uso rutinario por ser una técnica de difícil implementación, aun cuando su sensibilidad es aceptable.

La aplicación de la técnica de PCR para diagnosticar la infección aguda ha venido a subsanar estos inconvenientes, debido a su rapidez y mayor especifidad. También ha demostrado ser más sensible que el cultivo.

No se conoce marcador de laboratorio útil para el diagnóstico de la infección crónica por Chlamydia pneumoniae.

Well. Now that i can drive my truck, I've been realizing stuff that could be better. I could use a chip, exhaust and intake, as the thing gets 10 mpg, is slower than our Yukon XL, and is starting to get a rattle in the exhaust. But those cost mucho bucks that i don't want to drop. One thing that i want to spend some money on is a remote start. I've been looking at Viper systems, and they look pretty reliable. I'm also looking into Advent. Any suggestions? All i need is a Keyless entry and Remote Start, no security system.
The one thing i could see with interfering with this is my Mopar aftermarket keyless entry. I don't want to have two key fobs dangling on my keys. So, can you just buy the system and then reprogram the keyless entry to the car?
And the other thing i'd like is HID headlights. I don't care about Hi beams, i have a buddy with HID's on his truck and never uses his Hi Beams. It looks like a conversion kit for the lights is about $50-80. Anyone have experience with conversion kits?


CHELSEA have offered Atletico Madrid striker Yannick Carrasco a five-year contract, according to reports.
The Blues are on the hunt for a new striker after losing out to Manchester United for Romelu Lukaku.
And with Diego Costa being told to find another club, Spanish publication Don Balon are claiming the Blues want Carrasco.
A five-year deal is supposedly on the table and the offer of doubling the Belgian international's wages.
After Atletico's transfer ban was upheld, Antoine Griezmann committed his future to the La Liga club as a move to United was ended.
And the announcement that Vitolo will join Atletico in January after leaving Sevilla has put Carrasco's future in doubt.
Carrasco is said to be interested in the prospect of playing in the Premier League and now boss Diego Simeone must convince him to stay.
He moved to the Vincente Calderon in 2015 from Monday and scored 14 goals in all competitions last season.
And with the Blues also looking likely to miss out on Real Madrid superstar Alvaro Morata, Carrasco could be a back up choice.
The deal could also be sweetened with controversial striker Costa moving the other way when the transfer embargo ends in January.
Spanish international Costa filmed himself at a party wearing an Atletico shirt hinting that he wants a return to his former club.

Vol. 2. No. 2. of the Journal of Extreme Anthropology - special issue on Sovereignty - Out Now!
The full issue can be downloaded here
Tereza Kuldova
Sovereignty is a special issue that emerged out of the conference panel titled Sovereignty in an Unequal World at the VANDA: Vienna Anthropology Days Conference 2018, which I have organized on behalf of the Extreme Anthropology Research Network. Others have joined us along the way, as the idea of this issue caught on.
In this issue, the reader will find a range of articles dealing with the concept and meaning of sovereignty, often from radically different perspectives. Kate Tudor has interviewed and researched the world of those convicted for their involvement in investment fraud, discovering that much of their acts of economic predation can be understood through the notion and desire for sovereignty that often turns toxic. Anthony Ellis and his colleagues draw us into the world of British tourists in Magaluf and their attempts at hedonistic escapes from everyday life that, however, often end up in dissatisfaction; and yet, submitting to the social power of consumer sovereignty, they repeat the very acts that bring them little real joy each year. Charles Beach transports us into the world of petrol smuggling and armed gangs at the border between Venezuela and Colombia, looking at how the local actors involved in smuggling view the state, moving to questions of political organizing and insurgent citizenship. Victor L. Shammas moves us into the world of theory, looking in depth at Bourdieu's panentheistic conception of the state, arguing that 'it is the task of the anthropologist to channel, interpret, and challenge the panentheistic state.' Mike Grimshaw continues these theoretical explorations by playfully dealing with the reflections and letters of Jacob Taubes to Carl Schmitt and proposing three counter-decisions to what he sees as Schmitt and Taube's central decision for homogeneity and dictatorial democracy. And finally, Cindy Zeiher brings jouissance and anxiety into the theoretical debate on sovereignty, arguing that sovereignty is necessarily grounded in extimacy, thus giving substance to the Bataillean claim that even if sovereignty may be little more than an illusion, we are bound to keep pursuing it.
The essays in this volume offer more polemic perspectives. Victor L. Shammas casts a critical gaze at the novel modalities of punishment, such as those emerging in Norwegian 'open' prisons, involving entirely new forms of deprivation that we may call the pains of sovereignty; 'freedom-within-penal-constraint comes to be experienced as frustrating, deceptive, and even dangerous.' Tania Bulakh draws us with her vivid account into the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine, showing us the way in which people hit by the conflict experience a specific mode of sovereignty that emerges in the so-called 'grey zone' or 'no man's land,' where state power is porous and yet tangible through the constant presence of military forces.
The book review section offers engaging reviews of the following books: Reclaiming the State: A Progressive Vision of Sovereignty for a Post-Neoliberal World by William Mitchell & Thomas Fazi, Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism by Quinn Slobodian, and Promises of the Political: Insurgent Cities in a Post-Political Environment by Erik Swyngedouw.
And finally, to indulge the sense, we have included a photo essay by Henry Moncrieff that explores the manifestations of sovereignty in Venezuela, a radiophonic ethnodrama by Paul Antick and Jo Langton on the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and finally an ethnographic documentary movie by Laura Kuen and Yury Snigirev, Our Freedom, that explores local perceptions of freedom and sovereignty at the political periphery of Russia's remote rural areas (please follow the inserted links to listen to the ethnodrama and view the movie). Thank you for reading!

Faces of ACEs Video Showing at Savoy Theater Great Success!
It was a full house last at the Savoy Theater, in Montpelier VT), to see Kim Pierce's video, "Faces of ACEs." They had a second showing since not everyone who had come out on a windy, snowy Sunday evening could get in for the first showing.
The video is a very moving account of Kim's work screening her patients at the Plainfield Health Center for ACEs, and their responses to the screening. It is clear that the discussions about ACEs and their connections to life patterns is transformative for the patients. Kim does an excellent job providing her patients information and then support as the conversation proceeds. Her caring and commitment is evident, and her skill is impressive.
Kim also interviewed me and Priscilla White in the video about our work to bring Dr. Vincent Felitti to Vermont in 2013 to engage the medical field (which is when Kim learned about ACEs), and the subsequent work that resulted in Building Flourishing Communities.
I know there is interest in having the video shown at other areas around the state. Kim works full time as a physician's assistant, and her time is limited, but if you would like a showing, respond here and we'll see what we can do.
We would love to show the video as part of our monthly consultation group for our direct service providers. I saw the notes that the video is not available for general release, but that online screenings might be possible. I would love to explore that option for our agency if possible.
It is a very well-done video and gets a great response from everyone who sees it. As it is, it doesn't really stand on its own, however – the woman who made it set it up to be shown as part of other ACEs kinds of presentations. She isn't releasing it for general use right now, but its possible we arrange a showing on-line. Is that something we could do via ACEs Connection?
And mental health can be protected and improved – just like physical health!
The woman who produced the video is not releasing it publicly. Maybe we could arrange a showing for you, though, on-line. Let me talk with her about it.
This sounds fascinating, Kathy. Is there any way we can get a copy of the video?
I would love to see the film with my professional colleagues who are therapists with a broad range of clients. We specialize in systems therapy and are well aware of intergenerational impacts. It would be enriching to see a film that helps clients face and understand the impact of their families and childhoods. Please let me know how this can be arranged?? We are in Philadelphia.

Q: Angular2 not populating index.html I have been battling this problem for a couple of days now and I can't seem to get the code working. So I am new to web technologies, and am trying to imitate this tutorial phase. Without the dashboard and hero-detail.component though.
Only thing I'd need is that list/table would populate with values from mock-results.ts that should come through result.service.ts. The solution is probably pretty easy, but I just cannot fathom the cause of this. It seems that the index.html somehow doesn't receive the results at all so it could populate the values. As the whole project has quite many files, it's probably easier to just give you plunker link: http://plnkr.co/edit/coGOltjZqScCZsERHF4Y?p=preview.
result.service.ts:
import { Result } from './result'
import { RESULTS } from './mock-results';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable()
export class ResultService {
    get() {
        return Promise.resolve(RESULTS);
    }
}

results.component.ts:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router-deprecated';

import { Result } from './result';
import { ResultService } from './result.service';
import { ResultDetailComponent } from './result-detail.component'

@Component({
  selector: 'my-results',
  templateUrl: 'app/results.component.html'
})
export class ResultsComponent implements OnInit {
  results: Result[];

  constructor(
    private router: Router,
    private resultService: ResultService) { }

  get() {
    this.results = this.resultService.get();
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.get();
  }
}

Thanks in advance!

A: The problem is that you configure the app folder in your SystemJS configuration but your files are located into an src one.
You should move your files into an app one.
FYI you have the following error in the JavaScript console:

Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) has always been a teller of tall-tales about his oversized life as a young man (Ewan McGregor), when his wanderlust led him on an unlikely journey from a small town in Alabama, around the world, and back again. His mythic exploits dart from the delightful to the delirious as he weaves epic tales about giants, a witch and conjoined-twin lounge singers. With his larger-than-life stories, Bloom charms almost everyone he encounters except for his estranged son Will (Billy Crudup). When his mother Sandra (Jessica Lange) tries to reunite them, Will must learn how to separate fact from fiction as he comes to terms with his father's great feats and great failings.

Load up on Mangosteen: What Makes this Tropical Fruit Such a Treat?

HomeFood & Drinks Load up on Mangosteen: What Makes this Tropical Fruit Such a Treat?
Story ProgressBack to home
Priyadarshini Nandy

Titled as the "queen of tropical fruits" around 1903 by David Fairchild, an Americanplant explorer and botanist, and later in his 1930-book Exploring for Plants, the delicious purple mangosteen has been known by that name since. And it's not called so without reason. The beautiful sweet and tart pulpy segments, encased in a deep purple cover, can get quite addictive if you like the taste. The shell is soft when you harvest the fruit, and it's easier to break it with one's hands, leaving you with cleaner inner segments. But if you let mangosteen sit for a few days, the shell turns harder due to the loss of water, and you will need to use a knife to cut it cleanly.Originating in the Sunda Islands of the Malay Archipelago, and the Malaku Islands in Indonesia, the mangosteen is also grown in Sumatra, Java, and Southeast Asia. Its entry to the western countries began much later, in the mid-1800s when they were being grown in English greenhouses. It was also later found to be growing in West Indies.
In India, the mangosteen is known to have been cultivated since the 1800s, and is mostly available in the Nilgiris, Tinnelvelly and Kanya Kumari in Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, owing to the required humidity and rainfall in these regions.Health Benefits of Mangosteen
Apart from the fact that the fruit tastedelicious by itself, it also comes with quite a few healthbenefits. Now whoever said the tastiest things are the most sinful, should really considering withdrawing that statement.The best news is that it's fairly low on calories, has zero saturated fat, and is free of cholesterol. Plus it's rich in dietary fibre. Mangosteen is also a good source of Vitamin C, and therefore helps in developing resistance against cold and flu. It also helps to prevent anaemia, and improves blood circulation in the body. Good quantities of minerals such as copper,manganese, magnesium and potassium helps the fruit to protect the heart and keep blood pressure in check. Incidentally, the fruit is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, but for that to work, you need to eat one mangosteen at least twice a day.
Cooking with MangosteenOkay enough of health and history, let's get down to eating this delicious fruit. Tossing fruits in salads is not an unusual thing, and no, we aren't referring to the common fruitsalad here. When it comes to the mangosteen, there are some really cool recipes that are guaranteed to impress. For example, mangosteen and shrimps are a good combination for a salad. You can take about four whole mangosteens, 250 grams of shrimps (cleaned and boiled), and lettuce to make a lovely salad. For the dressing, use mayonnaise, chilli sauce, some olive oil, and fresh tomato sauce. Also keep some sugar and lemon juice handy.And then there's mangosteen jam for the breakfast table, or to slather it onto crackers for midnight hunger pangs. To make this, for every 100 grams of mangosteen (either in pulp or pureed form), you need 2 grams of pectin, 3/4th cup of sugar, half a cup of water, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice.The method: Take the sugar, add some water to make a syrup. Once the syrup is ready, filter it by using a thin (and clean) cloth. In a pan, mix the mangosteen with the rest of the water on medium flame, and keep stirring till it turns soft. As you stir, add the syrup, the lemon juice, and the pectin in the end. Turn the flame down, and let it cook for some time. The jam should start thickening by now; it usually takes about half an hour. Before taking it off the flame, do the jam test. Always store in sterilized glass bottles, and make sure the lid is airtight.
For the serious baker, the clafoutis, an old-fashioned French dessert, which is traditionally made with black cherries, is truly a treat. Incidentally, it can also be made with plums, prunes, apples, etc, in which case it's called a Flaugnarde. However, did you know you can also make it with the mangosteen, and that it turns out as tasty as ever?
There's a lot you can do with this queen of tropical fruits. So go on, make the most!

Maynard James Keenan Celebrates His 50th Birthday in Style
Chris Epting
Chris Epting Published: May 14, 2014
Charles Epting for Loudwire
There are 50th birthday celebrations and then there's what Maynard James Keenan did this past weekend at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The two-night residency at the famed outdoor theater will no doubt go down as a great tour de force of rock and metal music.
What better way to celebrate your career as the frontman for Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer than to create an evening's performance that mixes and matches songs and players from all three bands? And while you're at it, why not layer in the recently reunited Failure to give the night an even more diverse and unexpected edge?
Both the Saturday and Sunday night shows sold out quickly -- a testament to just how faithful and loyal Keenan's fans are. True to form, fans hung onto each line of every song, fixated on the performers, the music and the artsy and provocative videos that accompanied many of the tracks.
The execution of the evening's concept was brilliant. On a stage festooned with an airstream camper along with outdoor tables and chairs, all of the players from the night were present for much of the performance whether they were actively playing or not. Each configuration of musicians would play several songs and if one wasn't involved in the music, they would just grab a chair and a beer and watch onstage.
The mood and environment was strangely casual yet also quite intense at times. It was as if the entire Greek Theatre crowd had stumbled into some bizarro camping site set-up smack in the middle of the mysterious California desert, where some of the planet's more beguiling musical players just happened to have landed.
Tool bassist Justin Chancellor took the stage when Puscifer launched into 'Sober,' while drummer Danny Carey also sat in with Puscifer, playing on four songs. Puscifer delivered a devilishly entertaining series of sets built around their typically brash, funny and experimental musical excursions before A Perfect Circle performed a set focused on songs from their first two studio albums.
Pacing and alternating the way they did, each of the bands were able to deliver fresh, standout performances within each mini-set. The smooth transitions gave the audience a chance to time travel with Keenan throughout his eclectic and unpredictable career.
The mood of the evening ran from soaring, airy and atmospheric to intense, jagged and ethereal. It also really made you start to think about other artists of Keenan's caliber that may want to attempt this kind of format as a way of presenting their interesting side projects and musical alter egos.
While this would arguably be a very cumbersome show to take on the road, it does beg the question of how cool it would be to have such a diverse musical circus traveling the country. Kudos to MJK for sharing such a magical birthday party with the faithful. One can only imagine what he'll do when he turns 60.

The main objective of Polskie Media is a comprehensive introduction of Information Technology and software development for small and medium-sized companies. Satisfying the individual needs of our clients is essential to us. Our products are flexible and custom-tailored for clients. We provide broad support for company management: tools, managers, modules of document circulation management, and internet shops.
We join modern internet and mobile technologies with database systems, business reports, electronical payment facilities and traditional programming. A classic example here would be a system of company management that integrates company database, local client applications, world wide availability, and mobile devices (e.g. smartfon, palmtop). In the beginnings, our field included mainly company websites design and simple applications for management. With time, after adapting subsequent technologies, we focused on integration of various systems and components to create consistent tools for business.
The individual approach to each of our clients is crucial to us. We respect the specific requirements of the client starting from the preliminary stage of the project up to the final refinements. In other words, every system is designed in a unique way to guarantee meeting all expectations of the future users.

Background Miscarriage, defined as the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks' gestation, is common with approximately 25% of women experiencing a miscarriage in their lifetime, and 15% to 20% of pregnancies ending in a miscarriage. Progesterone has an important role in maintaining a pregnancy, and supplementation with different progestogens in early pregnancy has been attempted to rescue a pregnancy in women with early pregnancy bleeding (threatened miscarriage), and to prevent miscarriages in asymptomatic women who have a history of three or more previous miscarriages (recurrent miscarriage). Objectives To estimate the relative effectiveness and safety profiles for the different progestogen treatments for threatened and recurrent miscarriage, and provide rankings of the available treatments according to their effectiveness, safety, and side-effect profile. Search methods We searched the following databases up to 15 December 2020: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid MEDLINE(R), ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), and reference lists of retrieved studies. Selection criteria We included all randomised controlled trials assessing the effectiveness or safety of progestogen treatment for the prevention of miscarriage. Cluster-randomised trials were eligible for inclusion. Randomised trials published only as abstracts were eligible if sufficient information could be retrieved. We excluded quasi- and non-randomised trials. Data collection and analysis At least two review authors independently assessed the trials for inclusion and risk of bias, extracted data and checked them for accuracy. We performed pairwise meta-analyses and indirect comparisons, where possible, to determine the relative effects of all available treatments, but due to the limited number of included studies only direct or indirect comparisons were possible. We estimated the relative effects for the primary outcome of live birth and the secondary outcomes including miscarriage (< 24 weeks of gestation), preterm birth (< 37 weeks of gestation), stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy, congenital abnormalities, and adverse drug events. Relative effects for all outcomes are reported separately by the type of miscarriage (threatened and recurrent miscarriage). We used the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of evidence.

TicToc Cumbria - Light Bulb Web Design Ltd.
TicToc asked us to create a new website design for their charity to replace their old one which didn't provide sufficient functionality for their requirements.
The brief was to use the existing branding and colours to design a new website which integrated a news blog, events advertising and a gallery for photographs and videos. Lots more information was included along with better use of imagery from the charity too.
In line with the brief, we have created a clear and easy to navigate website, with plenty of information for visitors to make sure they understand the importance of defibrillators in the community, as well as letting them easily keep up to date with news and events by subscribing to the blog. On top of this, the blog is linked to the charities Facebook and Twitter accounts, allowing all new posts to show instantly on all of these platforms without having to create them on each one.
The bottom of the homepage also includes a live custom Google Map showing the locations of all the defibrillators they have helped install. This can be updated via Google and any changes will instantly reflect on the website map to new visitors.
Video guides are available for the charity to refer back to when using the features of the website, alongside the ongoing support from ourselves at all times.

La culture de colza
You want to talk about rape culture? I've got a great story for you to mull over and lash out with blistering high dungeon about the systemic injustice embedded in the Socialist design. DSK had a "chance to revive reputation" but then the trial started and he testified.
Strauss-Kahn: Only 12 sex parties in three years
"The prosecution gives the impression of unbridled activity," he told the court. But, he added: "There were only 12 parties in total - that is four per year over three years."
Your Turn to be Fucked
"It's not my concept of sexuality to do it with a prostitute," Strauss-Kahn said, adding that he preferred the "party atmosphere" of partner-swapping and swinging. He said group-sex sessions had been rare "recreation" in his hectic schedule as head of the IMF.
Lust Is No Crime
"I dare you to distinguish between a prostitute and a naked socialite," Mr. Strauss-Kahn's lawyer, Henri Leclerc, told Europe 1 radio after the accusations against him emerged in 2011.
Monsieur Leclerc (great name) is on to something but I'm not sure I'd call it a defense. Every man has a story and DSK's was on the verge of having President of France inserted in his until he inserted Le Président into his hotel maid.
Can you see la différence? Maybe with their cloths off there is none for a Socialist like DSK. I've had my share of "conversations" about rape culture or the war on women with a range of women - from well heeled soccer moms to Code Pink harpies - and one thing I've deduced is that these angry females are, in their day to day life, dealing with "men of the Left" - guys like DSK who talk a good game, but treat their lady friends like whores. It's frustrating, I'm sure, to be raped by a committed Socialist who just finished giving a speech where he said all the correct things and decried the misogyny and male chauvinism of the Capitalist system - but perhaps, just maybe, the women of this world should consider their plight under the Socialist system and reconsider their allegiance.
The fallout from the DSK affair did provide the world with the delightfully humorous elevation of François Gérard Georges Nicolas Hollande to the French Presidency. He might not be a libertine of the highest order, like DSK, but he's had his moments and, as usual, true believers have sprung to his defense. And so it goes (as Linda Ellerbee used to say) the Socialist loose one cad to a rape trial but there's another waiting in the wings - I suppose there always will be.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson
She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view
No Step On Snek
On The 2020 Election: In an elemental way We the People of the United States lost because Trump, and the MAGA movement he champions, forced the Deep State/Administrative State/New World Order (whatever you want to call it) and its enablers in Corporate America - Finance/FakeNews/Big Tech - to declare their sovereignty and steal our election in the most obvious way possible. The brazenness and " in yo face " shamelessness of the crime is a big part of its effectiveness and loudly proclaims an intent to demoralize and defeat the America First ideology which actually won the highest number of votes in this nation's history. It wasn't even close and that was made clear when key cities in 5 or 6 swing states declared they would pause (stop) counting(?!) votes until all the rural districts had submitted results allowing the big city machines to manufacture the ballots required to put Jo(((k)))e Biden in the lead. NPC's and Normies don't get too critical of process a
I've Got You Dumb Motherfuckers Eating Right Out Of My Hand
The branches of government In 2011 John Lasseter wrote an opinion piece for The Onion which exposed Pixar's production strategy and shocking success in the marketplace : "Yes, after the success of our first few movies we had a hunch you'd continue to enjoy the wonderfully designed animation and our smart, lyrical writing, but I didn't think we'd create a horde of drooling morons ready to drop everything just to watch a fucking rat cook dinner." This observation was in reference to a Pixar film titled "Ratatouille" about a rat who dreams of becoming a French chef which, to my lights, created one of the most unappetizing and subversive stories ever told. The idea of rats running roughshod in a Michelin-starred restaurant is bad enough but when the proposition that "Anyone can cook" is taken to its evil and impossible extreme I must object for France and humanity. Using that movie and others as an example Lasseter makes the point that his

This brings back memories. Seeing my dad and uncles buying the "GOOD" fireworks out of some guys car trunk, then shooting them off at night.
awwww..i had no idea this existed. always so strange & wonderful when you find out about something that is both mysterious to you & actually an established classic at the same time. that guy is def King of Americana. his storytelling got me thinking of Ray Bradbury's stories..when Ray writes about his summer adventures as a kid.
the 4th has come & gone. we're supposed to get a slight break in this HORRIBLE steamy weather. hopefully we can hang on until October or the arrival of some cooler crisp Fall air. whichever happens first..i'm ALL there!!!
Woke up to the post-putrid sulfur fog this am. Last night was like being in a war zone. The whole valley was popping. Glad you guys are getting a reprieve from the sauna. I guess it's our turn....supposed to be 110 tomorrow. Can't wait.
Autumleaf last night was nuuuuts. Like almost as crazy as it gets. People shot off illegal fireworks in a park we were at and it fell on its' side, and shot straight at us! Missed but hit somebody's car. Nutso.
Thanks Autumnleaf..philly IS getting a small reprieve. this will be the end of heatwave #2. last yr i think we had either 6 or 7 heatwaves..not sure. i saw on the news that Dante & his traveling Inferno are Cali bound..looks like a streak of HELLISH temps for you guys..the triples. ughhhh. i just keep thinking of all the October Beauty on it's way. Stay cool Lady & try not to let the heat rob you of things you like to do. Oh & on a totally fun note..watch "Rear Window" if you can. not only is it a GREAT flick, but, it takes place during a heatwave in NYC. hahaha. Good Stuff!!
I will watch for Rear Window girl6! Thanks!! We are on the down side of the ugly heat wave, but still hot. Trees took a hit. Critters are ok..not too happy though. I can't WAIT to see the water/electric bill after this one. I had to travel to Ontario (Cali) on the worse day (Friday) and temps read 121F. Is there a 'perpetual fall' land somewhere?
