Time comes when you need constant care and daily assistance. The question is what is your choice for a place to spend your needful days? Anyone would choose to always be at home, where they can talk to their grandchildren, walk their dog, eat their favorite food, and sleep in that familiar bed. Apple Hill Nursing home, upon its full completion, will endeavor to provide a home with as much comfort, if not more, for a lucky 20 full-time assisted residents. The staff that will be employed will provide medically skilled care, in a manner that is respectful, and given in the context of a self-sustaining community.
All short term residents will be provided with prompt and highly skilled nursing care. Apple Hill Nursing home will be situated at a prime 8 acre property that was previously the Mansfield Bed and Breakfast. With six highly experienced partners, Apple High Nursing Home will redefine the art of care for the elderly members of our families as well as meeting their health concerns. We acknowledge that the elderly are fully realized people, and they have ideas, thoughts, as well as experience that is invaluable, and for this reason we will expand to accommodate them in an elder care model (Kellman, 2003).
Welcome to the new way of taking care for those who most need it.
That we shall start on the development implementation for the continued funding of the second and the subsequent three years to ensure five years of financial safety.
That we shall be assured providers of a comfortable, warm, safe as well as engaging home for up to twenty permanent residents of Apple Hill Nursing Home.
We are also to ensure feedback through the resident House Councils which shall be given to us on a weekly basis and shall entail an update on our progress.
To be the providers of skilled medical care in a manner that is respectful and an atmosphere that is conducive to all temporary medical residents.
That we shall also be the providers of trainings, mentorship, as well as recompense to our caregiving staff in a manner that is job satisfying (bplans, 2010).
All the residents of Apple Hill Nursing home shall be assured of the promotion of their dignity as well as all aspects of self-worth. Providing them with an excellent quality of life shall be our primary goal, as is defined by the residents themselves individually and all of them as a group. We at Apple Hill shall therefore encourage resident group-making by means of the house councils, as well as access to all areas of their homes. To ensure their maximum feeling of freedom, we shall have self-determination in activities, all aspects of socialization, as well as food preferences. As their home, Apple Hill shall be their source of care as well the feeling of being in a community (Seniorliving, 2008).
Apple Hill believes in the value of time, expertise, as well as skills of each member of the staff. We shall commit ourselves to the provision of fair and living wages, as well reasonable, structured work schedules. We shall also have clear duties and spheres of rights and responsibilities for member of our team. The doing of work for which the staff is not trained shall be out of the question; and shall expect that they share their suggestions for the continual improving of all the aspects of Apple Hill Nursing Home's working operations or caregiving. The remunerations provided shall not only be enough to provide their sustenance, but also for their families, as well as allowing them a space to make a difference in the world that surround them by the provision of care for expert assistance to the most vulnerable members of the society (Medlineplus, 2010).
With the idea of on-site Skilled Nursing Facility, we shall ensure the continuity of care when our residents needs in a more intensive assistance (bplans, 2010).
Apple Hill Nursing home is a chartered as a nonprofit 501(C)(3) corporation in Mableton, Atlanta Georgia. It has been setup with the primary goal of providing holistic and respectful assisted living. We shall also be the providers of skilled nursing home care to a small group of elderly residents. We are primarily located at the old Mansfield Bed and Breakfast, on Couriers Road, which has been converted into a three building nursing home over the past seven months. In doing so we followed the Eden Alternatives 'Greenhouse' model for enlightened elder living.
A computerized medical records system is primarily the largest item in our Start-up budget. DigInfoMedTel were commissioned to, and have already done the preliminary designs of this system. The main advantage here is that care-team members shall be allowed the easy exchange of information when it comes to the change of shifts. This way, all the residents of Apple Hill as well the staff shall keep track of chronic conditions, monitoring of gradual though serious changes in condition which might easily be overlooked in day-to-day interactions. In the skilled nursing facility, there shall also be the corroboration of quantifiable medical data (bplans, 2010).
Bedding, cleaning and disposal of medical supplies, which shall be our immediate short term assets shall include $8000 of start-up inventory. There shall also be non-expensed, if much smaller medical equipment that shall depreciate quickly, hence will need to be replaced in just a few years.
Our estimate of long term assets lie in the range of $ 600,000 which include renovations and the subsequent purchase of the former Mansfield Bed and Breakfast.
Medical equipment and furnishings shall also provide the bulk of all inclusive start-up expenses.
Apple Hill has secured a low-interest loan of $300, 000 and has collected donations and pledges totaling to about $405,400. Therefore we shall include the value of the Mansfield property totaling to $135,000 to the Apple Hill property in the 'donations collected' category for the accurate reflection of our assets. We must raise an additional $9,500 by March 1st if we are to begin operations.

On the latest episode of WWE's The Bump, the panel brought on Triple H to talk about his memories of the Royal Rumble and which moments in those pay-per-views stood out to him. The first Rumble they look back on was his triumphant return back in 2002, when he suffered an eight-month quad injury, which almost cost him his in-ring career. For the former nine-time WWE Champion, this moment 19 years ago solidified where exactly he stood in the company. "It's hard to sort of put into words the journey at that point in time because, you know, there was a high probability I might've not been able to wrestle again," Triple H stated on his 2002 Royal Rumble return. "Coming back and having the return I did at Madison Square Garden, and the reaction I got was great. The challenge was: How do you capitalize on that? So, to come back at the Royal Rumble, there's so much meaning there. Not only from a performer's standpoint but from an athlete's standpoint of the validation to be able to do this still." In this exact match, Triple H recalls the excitement he felt from the crowd when his mentor Mr. Perfect made his entrance at the event. "It was awesome! For me, as a fan, Curt was one of the best in-ring performers ever," he replied. "When I came to WWE at the time, and Curt sort of being in his first management position, [he] helped me get [towards] the Intercontinental title. After leaving WWE to go to WCW and then returning later, it was a weird full-circle moment. To see him in that spot and the reaction he got, that was awesome." Last month, the wrestling community lost one of its influential minds in the business when Pat Patterson passed away at 79 years old. With Patterson's vision of the Royal Rumble living up to the hype since it first started in 1988, Triple H credits the inaugural Intercontinental Champion for his contributions in this annual event. "[The] Rumble is one of those great matches where it can last the length of time that it does. And every couple of minutes, there's this surprise every time. Sometimes, those surprises are underwhelming. Sometimes they're those 'Oh, my God' moments," he began. "They are a lot of fun to put together because of those moments because you're constantly looking at how you can get that excitement level. But that's the genesis thing that Pat Patterson put together. Pat was the concept creator of the Rumble." When he made his return back to being a full-time in-ring performer in 2016, Triple H admits that year was the most challenging part of his overall career. "Absolutely, because it was completely out of the blue and completely unplanned in a way," he noted. "There was a moment in time with injuries and everything that was happening in the company where, you know, I sort of got to a place in my career where Vince [McMahon] would joke that I was the in case of an emergency, break glass [guy]. So, I'd be sitting there with my trunks on. He'd tell me, 'Ok. You're my in case of an emergency guy, we're breaking the glass, and here's what we're going to do.' And you're like, 'Oh, my God.' "I don't believe I've ever done anything harder in my career than have moments where you don't wrestle for an entire year or a long, long period of time. Then you come out and do whatever it is at the highest level, you know, to try to add to the stuff you've done without letting others or yourself down. It's really one of the most difficult challenges I've ever faced. The pressure was immense." Throughout the month, The Bump will ask their guests which moments in Royal Rumble history were their favorites to participate in or to watch. For Triple H, he says the very first Rumble he participated in will forever be his favorite because of the interaction he got to have with Dory Funk Jr. "It's funny. There are moments for me in the Rumble...I'll give you one that was a cool moment for me that nobody else would even remember happened," he opened. "It was my first Royal Rumble, and I was in there for a long period of time, and Dory Funk Jr. came into the ring. I don't remember how long I'd been in there, but I remember Dory just coming and grabbing me in the center of the ring and picking me up and putting me in the corner. He said to me, 'Get yourself a breather, kid.' He just started working with me in the corner. And, you know, that was a guy I grew up watching. For me to have that moment with Dory Jr., it was the coolest thing for me of all time."

WWE India Announces "Superstar Spectacle"
Back in October, WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan revealed during an earnings call WWE is teaming with their TV partner in India, Sony, for a 2021 event that will focus on developing new Superstars from India. "To realize greater economics from WWE's international markets, we remain focused on developing localized content, which utilizes local talent and is produced in local language," Khan said. "We're excited to now be working with our content partner in India, Sony, on a 2021 event that will primarily feature our developing Indian superstars. That event will air in India on the Sony platforms and will also be distributed domestically in the United States. We believe partnerships like this are the best way to build engagement and to maximize the value of content for our international distribution partners and our fans." It looks like that series potentially now has a name as WWE India announced earlier today WWE Superstar Spectacle is coming soon. It was reported late last month, filming was expected to begin on Friday, January 22. One source close to the situation indicated that it could begin with a one or two-night event to kick things off. This would be similar to the model for NXT UK, which began with a two-night tournament in January 2017, before the weekly series was rolled out. Still no word on talent that will be used, although it was reported Jinder Mahal, The Bollywod Boyz, Indus Sher, Kavita Devi, and Jeet Rama could be involved. Depending on the current pandemic, a WWE Performance Center in India was also reportedly in play, and could be active by 2022.

Ric Flair Hopes To See Triple H Have "A Huge Retirement Match"
Triple H skipped WrestleMania earlier this year for the first time since WrestleMania 23 when he was out with a torn right quadriceps. The 51-year-old Triple H might still have a few great matches left in him, according to his good friend Ric Flair. In a recent interview with WWE UK to promote next week's RAW Legends Night, Flair discussed Triple's possible retirement down the road and why The Game deserves a huge sendoff from the WWE Universe. "I'm actually hoping to see him have a huge retirement match, if he even elects to retire in the future," said Flair [h/t Inside The Ropes]. He deserves every bit of it and all the recognition to go with it." While admitting that Triple H "probably knows more about the business" than him despite their 20-year age gap, Flair said that The Game exemplifies 'Legend' more than anyone else because he's a student of the game. "He exemplifies 'Legend' more than anybody because he is not only a great performer, he has studied the business, he is a historian," stressed Flair. "He probably knows more about the business than I do and I've been in it 30 years longer than he has." Flair continued, "He [Triple H] came into it with a knowledge of it that I hadn't seen anybody at his age come into the business with. He was respectful every day and it was fun to see someone that just loved to be in the ring and loved the business. He became a great worker and he has also taken that with him and has become an intricate part of the company." The Nature Boy also gave major props to Triple H for building and managing the WWE NXT brand. "He's accomplished all this through his efforts and he has ascended himself to a place of not just being a great worker, he's helped to impact the company with the growth of NXT," said Flair. "Helping to see young guys get the opportunity to make the main roster, working with people on a daily basis. "Plus he's one of my two or three best friends. I just saw him at RAW and at TLC and had a nice talk with him. He basically lives the kind of schedule we did in the old days. He wouldn't have it any other way. He won't miss anything, and he's always wanting to see the company grow."

Brodie Lee Passes Away
WWE has released the following statement about Lee's passing: WWE is saddened to learn that Jon Huber, known to WWE fans as Luke Harper, passed away today at age 41. Known as both Luke Harper and Brodie Lee in the ring, Huber found success in every stop of his sports-entertainment career, as his soft spoken yet imposing presence helped him create countless awe-inspiring moments in the ring. After a highly decorated run on the independent circuit, Harper debuted in NXT as a menacing enforcer for The Wyatt Family. Harper had a dominant tag team run with Rowan that would lay the groundwork for future championship success. As a member of The Wyatt Family, he engaged in heated rivalries with the likes of Kane, Daniel Bryan, The Shield, John Cena and The Usos. After being set free from the family, Harper authored an impressive singles run that culminated with him defeating Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship. Harper & Rowan later comprised The Bludgeon Brothers and embarked on a path of destruction that was highlighted by a SmackDown Tag Team Title victory in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 34.

WWE Announces Superstar Gaming Series
WWE announced a new video game-centric streaming series is set to debut on Tuesday, December 29, at 8 p.m. EST. Known as the WWE Superstar Gaming Series, the show will air on both WWE social platforms as well as the free version of the WWE Network beginning next week. Advertised wrestlers for SGS include Ronda Rousey, The Miz, Liv Morgan, Adam Cole, Tyler Breeze, Shayna Baszler, and Jessamyn Duke. They will be joined by celebrities such as FaZe Adapt, Nick Eh 30, Lele Pons, Wale, and Greg Miller of Kinda Funny Games. Miller will host the series alongside Xavier Woods, who is being advertised as a "special guest." The first episode of SGS will see the aforementioned superstars and celebrities go head-to-head in an Among Us "Holiday Sus-Fest" and a WWE 2K Battlegrounds "Holiday Throwdown." Leading up to the 8 p.m. debut, WWE will air a "Best of UpUpDownDown 2020 Marathon" on their social platforms, beginning at 3 p.m. EST. This announcement comes months after Wrestling Inc. exclusively reported about WWE's third-party edict, a new regulation that forced WWE talent to stop working with outside platforms such as Twitch and Cameo. The edict was met with much criticism and controversy from within the company, and even led to a firing. Former WWE superstar Zelina Vega was released from her WWE contract due to being "extremely vocal" about maintaining her personal Twitch account. WWE officially closed their talents' Twitch accounts at the end of October.

News On Talks Of A WWE Lucha Libre Series
As Wrestling Inc. first exclusively reported, WWE has been planning to create a new NXT show, which apparently would be an NXT minor leagues system. Wrestling Inc. has learned that the company has also been discussing a Mexican Lucha Libre series, which would be an NXT Mexico of sorts. The show would reportedly air in the U.S. WWE has spoken with a few people about running the project, but it is very early on in the planning stages. One of the names being considered as a consultant on the project is Chavo Guerrero Jr. Chavo was an agent for Lucha Underground and was very involved with the promotion. One source compared the project to the WCW Telemundo "Festival de Lucha" pilot that was taped in Waco, Texas on January 27, 1999 that never aired. The pilot was added to the "Hidden Gems" section of the WWE Network last year. WWE has been looking to expand into international markets for awhile now. The company launched NXT UK in 2018, and has been considering creating NXT brands in several other countries as well.

Rumor Mill - USA Network Reportedly Upset With WWE RAW Ratings
Monday's TLC go-home edition of RAW drew an average of 1.527 million viewers, down 12% from last week's 1.737 million viewers. Monday's show drew a new all-time low in total viewership, a new all-time low in viewership for each hour, and a new all-time low in the key demographic. Furthermore, last week's AEW Dynamite episode drew a 0.45 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, which beat every hour of this week's RAW in that same demo. You can read our full report on this week's RAW numbers at this link. In an update, WWE officials aren't the only ones who had a big reaction to this week's record-low numbers as there was a similar reaction at the USA Network, according to Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT. It was noted that USA Network management is furious with the drop in ratings, and they want more dark and violent content. "USA Network are furious. They want more adult content. Not sexy adult, but dark and violent adult," the source said. It was also said that WWE officials are hoping that the 2021 Royal Rumble pay-per-view can serve as some kind of a "big reset" for the company. This new report comes after it was reported earlier this week, via Wrestling Observer Radio, that the low numbers were a wake-up call for WWE. Dave Meltzer noted that everyone he knows in WWE were stunned at the numbers, and that people in WWE "got the message" as well. It was also reported this week, via @Wrestlevotes, that the record low numbers for Monday's RAW were not "sitting well" with WWE higher-ups. People in the company expected some "reactionary decisions" to be made, but no other details were provided. It will be interesting to see what WWE does to bring the numbers up, and if anything major happens at the TLC pay-per-view on Sunday. It will also be interesting to see if USA officials recommend any kind of major "reset" storylines as they have in the past.

Stephanie McMahon shares Paul Heyman's reaction to her clash with Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon is the Chairman of WWE and his daughter Stephanie McMahon is the Chief Brand Officer. The two have not shied away from being involved in storylines over the years and have certainly butted heads over decisions made in the company. Stephanie McMahon recently spoke to David Meltzer of Sports 1 Marketing. During the interview, McMahon revealed a fascinating story that involved Paul Heyman. Stephanie McMahon recalled how she was once upset with her father Vince McMahon over an incident that took place long ago. Here is what she said: Paul Heyman actually said to me one time… I was really upset over something that had happened with my dad as my boss, and it really hurt. It was this one particular incident, and it just rocked my world. And Paul Heyman said to me, "You know what Steph? This is so good!" And I said, "Why is this so good, Paul?" And he said, "Because, if you can stand in a room and look Vince McMahon in the eye, and go toe to toe with him on whatever opinion you're trying to share, anybody else pales in comparison. Paul Heyman is currently managing WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, which has seen great success since the start of their partnership. source: ringsidenews.com

Rumor Mill - Triple H Creates Team For New WWE NXT Show
Paul "Triple H" Levesque has created a team to oversee a new NXT show, which apparently would be an NXT minor leagues system. Gabe Sapolsky is leading the team. Levesque has given him several agents and writers to help him get more comfortable with writing television. Levesque is a big believer in Sapolsky, and this is said to be a case of Levesque giving him the ball. The idea is to create a show that was described to me as an "NXT for NXT". The biggest challenge has been to format the concept for TV. The original idea was for this to be akin to another promotion running in some of the smaller tier markets that NXT serviced. However, with house shows likely to not return, they are making it just a TV series. The goal was for the show to launch in early 2021, but it has been delayed before and probably will again.

Famuan EIC addresses Marching '100' headline
September 1, 2013 12:00 am by Nolan McCaskill
One of the many roles of a journalist is to objectively and accurately inform the public. Since I took an active role with The Famuan in fall 2012, objectivity and accuracy are two things I have stressed, both of myself and of anyone who wrote for The Famuan during my tenure as copy desk chief.
Headlines, however, are a bit different than articles. They are meant to grab the reader's attention because they are often the first part of an article a reader sees. It is at that point a reader will decide whether the content is worth reading.
But the objective is not to duplicate the writer's words while also to follow a series of guidelines with the pressures of deadlines lurking.
A headline for a story about the size of the Marching "100" was posted Saturday that many took offense to. In hindsight, I realize that that was not the best headline we could have written.
The intent of the aforementioned headline was to creatively highlight the change in the number of band members compared to their last performance, which shifted from more than 300 to less than 150.
As anticipation for the return of the Marching "100" continued to grow, questions arose about how the band's performance would be. As journalists, we could not answer that, nor was it our job to. Our job is to inform the public of the facts and provide further insight through our sources and allow the readers to form their own opinions based on the information provided.
As far as the headline, although it meant no disrespect to Dr. Sylvester Young, his staff or band members – past and present – now, after the backlash, I understand how the headline could be offensive. That being said, the headline has since been changed.
I recognize the mistake and accept responsibility. In the future, The Famuan will follow the processes instituted for quality control. We will continue to aggressively report stories of interest to the FAMU community. And we will check and double-check before hitting the send button or posting to the Web.

St. Peter's in Punxsutawney is a member of the national church body known as the United Church of Christ. One of the distinctive qualities of the United Church of Christ is freedom of conscience and belief, which allows individual congregations the freedom to decide their standards of faith. That is why the United Church of Christ has a reputation as a very diverse denomination!
The United Church of Christ is a Christian denomination that looks to our past for the testimony of our forebears and to the future in order to make our faith real in our time. We look to the creeds of the ancient Christian church as testimonies, not tests, of faith. Additionally, the Preamble of the Constitution of the United Church of Christ (see below) lays out our basic principles of belief. The United Church of Christ has also produced its own Statement of Faith (see below) in order to express the specific theological emphases of our church body.
At St. Peter's, we periodically use the Apostles' Creed (see below), the Nicene Creed (see below) or the United Church of Christ Statement of Faith (see below) during worship to express our trust in God. There are no standards of belief for attendance or participation in our worship service. Adults seeking to become members of the church are asked during the ceremony in which they become members to declare publicly their belief in the triune nature of God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and to endeavor to renounce the powers of evil, resist oppression, and to show love and justice as best they are able. Guardians bringing children for baptism are asked to guide their children in these same vows, which they make on the child's behalf. All baptized Christians are welcome to partake in Holy Communion.
If you have any questions about the beliefs or practices at St. Peter's United Church of Christ, please do not hesitate to contact the church office at 814-938-4021.
The history of the congregation that would become St. Peter's United Church of Christ begins in 1838, when the Reverend John Althouse, a pioneer pastor who belonged to the German Reformed church, organized a congregation of German Reformed and Lutheran members. In 1847, an application for a Charter of Incorporation was filed with the Court of Common Pleas of Jefferson County. The name of the congregation was Punxsutawney German Lutheran and Presbyterian Church. Political instability in Germany during that time caused many families to move to Pennsylvania, many of which who moved to Punxsutawney joined the congregation.
The first permanent church building was erected in 1848. The building was a log-built structure.
In 1853 the Lutheran members of the congregation split from the church and created their own congregation.
From 1895 to 1901, the congregation was left without a pastor, and membership dwindled to 30 members. The local classis of the Reformed Church considered closing the congregation. However, Elder Adam Schneider appealed to keep the congregation operating, so the classis decided to keep the congregation. The next pastor, the Reverend Lewis Reiter, managed to increase membership in the church from 30 to 220.
In 1909 the congregation's charter was amended, changing its name to St. Peter's Reformed Church. Since then, the name of the congregation has changed only to reflect changes in the name of the denomination to which it belongs. The German Reformed Church and the German Evangelical Church merged in 1934, forming the Evangelical and Reformed Church. In 1957, the Evangelical and Reformed Church merged with the Congregational Christian Churches, forming the United Church of Christ.
Construction on the present church building began in 1922. The finishing work on the sanctuary was completed, and the building dedicated, in 1949.
St. Peter's United Church of Christ is a congregation that is proud of its distinctive German Reformed heritage, which it brings into its life today as the local embodiment of the United Church of Christ in Punxsutawney. We celebrate the theological diversity of our members, while at the same time cherishing our unique identity and unity in Christ. We invite you to become a part of our living history!

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended to the dead; on the third day He rose again; He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father; God of God, Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made; for us and for our salvation he came down from Heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary and was made man; for our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried; on the third day he rose again, in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]; with the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified; He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Blessing and honor, glory and power, be unto you. Amen.

Longtime Sports Broadcaster Fred Hickman Dead At 66
By Jovonne Ledet
Veteran sports broadcaster Fred Hickman has died, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He was 66.
Hickman's wife, Sheila, told THR that the longtime broadcaster died on Wednesday (November 9) in a hospital in Kissimmee, Florida after he was diagnosed with cancer in February.
Hickman had a notable stint co-anchoring "Sports Tonight" with Nick Charles on CNN, beginning in 1980.
The Springfield, Illinois, native was also the first on-air personality to appear on the Yankee Entertainment and Sports Network (YES) when the station launched in March 2002.
"Fred was a joy to work with and a joyful person," said Michael Kay, a New York Yankees announcer. "A total pro that you felt comfortable with knowing he would lead you the right way on the air. He was the first voice ever heard on YES and his professionalism put us on the right track, a track we are on all these years later."
Hickman also worked for TBS, where he hosted the first edition of "Inside the NBA."
The sports broadcaster also had stints at ESPN and Fox Sports South. He recently was an anchor and managing editor at Black News Channel.
Hickman is survived by his wife and children, Mack and Gabrielle.
Rest in peace, Fred Hickman.

Thai letter use composition of multiple character to make one thai letter.
For example, letter กิ้ has 3 unicode characters.

> ก + ◌ี + ◌้ → กิ้
> - ก: Base consonant KO KAI (U+0E01)
> - ◌ี: Upper vowel SARA I (U+0E34)
> - ◌้: Top tone mark MAI THO (U+0E49)

Because font cannot have full composed glyphs for Thai letters,
font renderer has to support composition of glyphs to compose single letter.

Simply drawing multiple glyphs at sample position can compose glyphs.
But for letter ปิ้

> ป + ◌ี + ◌้ → ปิ้
> - ก: Base consonant PO PLA (U+0E1B)
> - ◌ี: Upper vowel SARA I (U+0E34)
> - ◌้: Top tone mark MAI THO (U+0E49)

Base consonant ป has an ascender with right side, upper vowel and top tone mark
should be positioned slight shifted to left to avoid conflict of glyphs.

## GSUB and GPOS

Opentype font provides GSUB and GPOS to deal with these problem.
GSUB is used for substituting glyphs and can control thing like:

> ญ + ◌ุ → ญุ
> - ญ: Base consonant YO YING (U+0E0D)
> - ◌ุ: Lower vowel SARA U (U+0E38)

Consonant ญ has lower part and when combined with lower vowel like SARA U,
lower part of ญ should be removed. GSUB will handle like this:

> ญ + ◌ุ → ญ_descless + ◌ุ

GPOS is used for positioning glyphs, which can control vowel and tone mark positioning.

> Glyph ◌้ positioning
> - ก + ◌้ → ก้
> - ก + ◌ี + ◌้ → กิ้
> - ป + ◌้ → ป้
> - ป + ◌ี + ◌้ → ปิ้

Regular Thai fonts have many GPOS data for positiong glyphs delicately.
With GSUB and GPOS, Thai letter can be constructed neatly.

## The C90 encoding for Thai

Without GPOS support, they already solved glyph positioning problem.
Font was developed to have extended glyphs for upper vowel, lower vowel and tone mark
to have various positions like left-one, top-one, etc.
Thai letters are categoried into various graphical glyph classes, and
context patterns for base glyphs with vowels and tone marks is written like:

> Glyph ◌้ positioning
> - ก + ◌้ → ก้ + ◌้_low
> - ก + ◌ี + ◌้ → ก + ◌ี + ◌้
> - ป + ◌้ → ป + ◌้_lowleft
> - ป + ◌ี + ◌้ → ป + ◌ี_left + ◌้_left

For more information about this, read [Thai fonts, TUGboat, Volume 21 (2000), No. 2](https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb21-2/tb67lemb.pdf) and
[The C90 encoding for Thai](http://www.bakoma-tex.com/doc/fonts/enc/c90/c90.pdf).

And they have been using this strategy for long time, regular Thai font have
extended glyphs which meets C90 encoding.
For example [Garuda](http://www.nectec.or.th/pub/review-software/font/national-fonts.html)
font has Thai glyphs

![ThaiFont](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SaladLab/Unity3D.ThaiFontAdjuster/master/docs/Font.png)

In addition this standard glyphs, extended glyphs are included.

![ThaiFontExtended](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SaladLab/Unity3D.ThaiFontAdjuster/master/docs/FontExtended.png)

Extended glyphs consist of:

| Code      | Description         | C90 Category  |
| --------- | ------------------- | ------------- |
| U+F700    | uni0E10.descless    | base.descless |
| U+F701~04 | uni0E34~37.left     | upper.left    |
| U+F705~09 | uni0E48~4C.lowleft  | top.lowleft   |
| U+F70A~0E | uni0E48~4C.low      | top.low       |
| U+F70F    | uni0E0D.descless    | base.descless |
| U+F710~12 | uni0E31,4D,47.left  | upper.left    |
| U+F713~17 | uni0E48~4C.left     | top.left      |
| U+F718~1A | uni0E38~3A.low      | lower.low     |

## Unity3D

Because Unity3D lacks support for GSUB and GPOS, C90 encoding is used for controlling
the position of glyphs.
GPOS is impossible to mimic without support but GSUB is possible with
simple finding and replacing string.

Q: Distinguish between Algebras $$ S_n = \mathscr P (\{ -n, -n+1, \ldots, n-1, n\}) $$
$$ R_n = \{r : \Omega - r \in S_n\} $$
$$ T_n = S_n \cup R_n$$
I need to check whether

*

*$T_n$ is an algebra, semi-algebra or sigma algebra.

*$T_n \subset T_{n+1}$.

*If  $T = \bigcup_n  T_n$, whether $T$ is algebra, semi-algebra, sigma algebra.
I considered an example for this:
Let $ S_1 = \mathscr P \{-1, 0, 1\} $
$$ S_1 = \{\{-1\}, \{0\}, \{1\} ,\{-1,0\}, \{0,1\}, \{-1,1\}, \{-1,0,1\},\{ \varnothing\}\}$$
So, for 1) I feel that $T_n = \Omega$, so it can either be any of the algebras.
Please advise.

A: *

*$T_n$ is stable by complementation (almost by definition) and by intersections: if $A, B\in T_n$ and $A,B\in S_n$ then $A\cap B\in S_n$, if $A,B\in R_n$ then $A\cap B\in R_n$ and if $A\in R_n$ and $B\in S_n$ then $A\cap B=\emptyset$. So $T_n$ is a semi-algebra and since $\Omega\in T_n$, an algebra. $T_n$ is a $\sigma$-algebra as a finite algebra.

*Since $S_n\subset S_{n+1}$, if $A\in T_n$, either $A\in S_n$, then $A\in S_{n+1}\subset T_{n+1}$ or $A\in R_n$, then $\Omega\setminus A\in S_n\subset S_{n+1}$ hence $A\in T_{n+1}$, which proves inclusion.

Heroin is scary!
vreify — August 22, 2008
Health class in freshman year was full of misinformation–especially about the two controversial, politically charged topics: drugs and sex. Though my health teacher got plenty of other things wrong, too, about anorexia and nutrition. But let's just focus on one thing at a time.
We were mostly presented with information about the effects of various drugs: cocaine does this, and may cause your teeth to fall out, and meth does this, and may give you a heart attack, ecstasy does this, and may cause you to walk around Disneyland chewing on a pacifier and looking strung out. PCP makes you think you can fly. And bad trips on LSD will give you flashbacks for the rest of your life and permanently scar your mind.
I figured I would never be able to find illegal substances anyway, much less be brave enough to use them, so I never questioned what Mr. Health Teacher told us.
As usual, we also watched Lifetime-style videos dramatizing the ill effects of drug use, dependence, and abuse. You know. Three teenagers–one who gets sucked into the world of heroin, and sucks his other two friends in. Everyone dies of overdoses.
I asked my teacher afterward whether people who try heroin and cocaine for the first time really become so instantly addicted. Oh yes, he said, it happens quite often–that just demonstrates the addictive power of these drugs! Even my usual budding skepticism at the time ingested this tidbit of information, unquestioned. Gateway drugs, I thought! Instant addiction!
Later I learned about how foggy so many of these studies are, and how much propaganda is infused into them. They are far from the ideal of scientific objectivity.
Yes, drugs are dangerous in many cases. And pleasurable (why else use them?). But so powerfully addictive? Maybe not.
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), most people who use heroin for the first time do not use it again in the next year. Drugmonkey provides a great breakdown on his blog, but here's the jist: given continued use, heroin and crack cocaine are most likely to cause addiction. But since alcohol and marijuana are so widely used, there are far more people addicted to these substances than to heroin or crack.
A widely cited epidemiological study (Anthony et al, 1994 Exp Clin Psychopharm 2(3)) even concludes that those who use nicotine–the most popular drug next to alcohol–are more likely to become addicted than those who do heroin. But the study did not take into account how many times these substances were used until dependence developed, which seems to be an important factor.
Moreover, neither of these studies addresses the issue of why users eventually became addicted–is it really because of some inherent 'addictive' quality of the drug? Are there 'addictive' personalities or biological types? Is it a combination of these things? Do we have basic biological evidence to support the idea that X is more addictive than Y?
Not only are there no clear answers, but nobody is hurrying to find out what they are, either. I'm not advocating drug use, or that everyone goes out and tries heroin. I just wish my health teacher had the cojones (or the brains) to tell us the truth.

i think that its a combination of an addictive drug and an addictive personality. I'm gonna use the example of my Mr. Health Teacher. He was addicted to chewing tobacco and kinda became addictive with other things, like baseball and sports. so yeah…

Most of the stuff taught in schools and shown on TV about drugs is bogus, because the War on Drugs is so pervasive and such a big boondoggle for politicians. I try to correct a lot of the bogus stuff here:

I had health class in 7th grade, where we talked about EVERYTHING (nonetheless, my brother shared the same class and I.) We have it again next year, I think. But I was reading a book, maybe it was realistic fiction, but the kid tried LSD and never tried it again. So, I don't believe that on first try people become addicted to a substance on the first try. Or the second, maybe.

Ah health class lifetime movies. Good times! I always thought it was extremely bizarre how all the girls in anorexia/bulimia movies were athletes or dancers. It's true that these occupations often except tremendous pressure on girls to stay slim, but isn't the unintended message that anorexics/bulimics are more successful than large girls and if you want to be a dancer or track star you do need to be a disordered eater?
Also, if they really wanted to put kids off heroin they would have them watch "Trainspotting".

Just because health classes operate at a lies-to-children level doesn't exactly mean that "nobody is hurrying to find out". There is a LOT of drug abuse research – from the human user to the laboratory – that is focused on individual differences. Is progress slower than we might like? Sure. Just as with many other health conditions that we do not fully understand.
Forgive me, but I was under the impression that research is not very well-funded or supported. What is it really like?
Oh yes, health class, one of the stupidest class of all. The teacher sucked, and the materials sucked. I remember about that exaggerated video about cigarette. Of course, not to say smoking isn't bad, because long term use is really bad, but it felt like instead of telling facts, it was drawing its conclusion from the emotional part, which is fear. So yeah, they planned on imforming people by scaring the heck out of them.
darwinfan
Thank god for posts like this – it reminds me why I'm so proud to be a skeptic! I work for a tobacco harm reduction group (check out tobaccoharmreduction.org), and harm reduction, as far as I'm concerned, is where it's at. It's always been my contention that the war on drugs is more harmful than the drug abuse itself.
To take a look at some researched graphs of the relative risks of drugs, here is a great article:
http://arstechnica.com/journals/science.ars/2007/03/23/assesing-the-harm-of-illegal-drugs
As with many things in our world, our ideas and understanding of things aren't always based in reality. I believe the war on drugs came about by fear and misunderstanding, and I think our obsession with abstinence-only education and prohibition stems from our religious backgrounds (Judeo-Christian in North America and Europe), where abstaining from pleasure is considered godly.
Just a brief summary of my thoughts on the matter!
Oh, and just to clarify, the graph in my link rates drugs as to how dangerous they are based on addictiveness, physical, and social damage. For those who don't click on my link, in short, the way the law classifies drugs does not reflect how dangerous they actually are. Tobacco and liquor, for example, are pretty damaging and addicting, whereas cannabis and ecstasy are not (although the psychological effects of ecstasy are still being researched).
vreify, 'well funded' is in the eye of the beholder. yes, all NIH funded scientists are complaining about budget issues these days but this is in part because so many of us are fighting over a shrinking pie.
darwinfan, the evidence actually suggests that cannabis is far more addicting than is alcohol but then again alcohol is very unique because of the population exposure rates. ecstasy does indeed cause dependence and to say it is not addicting is hogwash. as far as "damaging" goes, the toxicity of MDMA is probably better understood than any other drug of abuse. it is very clear that it is capable, on its own, of producing essentially permanent and very large decrements in many aspects of serotonergic function. what is still being researched is if this property of the drug has a causal relationship to the clearly established cognitive and affective problems reported in abstinent ecstasy users.
I actually believe all drugs are addicting on some level (psychological or physical), but I have yet to find any convincing studies that show cannabis and ecstasy as anywhere near as physically addicting as cocaine or liquor. Do you have any I could read? As well, the graph has taken into account social and physical harm from the drugs, not just addiction.
I'm confused by your last sentence… abstinent ecstasy users? Is that not an oxy-moron? Maybe there was a typo there. The research has shown that ecstasy is capable of producing short-term memory deficits and other psychological deficits, but it is not known the degree, and how permanent they are. It may be one of the more researched illegal drugs, but there is still a lot unknown. It seems that, like most drugs, increased usage will lead to increased problems. I still see it as being much less damaging than cocaine, liquor, and heroin use (the word "damaging" taking into account addiction, physical, and social damage).
livingparadox27
i believe that the dangers of drugs and addiction are wildly spun out of control in health classes. yes – drugs are dangerous – and in some cases, drugs can destroy your life. but hooked on a drug on the first try? thats rare. the dangers marijuana and the psychedelic drugs also get incredibly exaggerated – marijuana is not very addictive – neither is it really that dangerous. every health class i was ever in always told me that marijuana was a "gateway drug" and that once i started smoking weed, i was sure to start shooting up heroin soon after. and that is rarely the case – most potheads are just that: potheads. and something like LSD, while it can certainly mess with your head, is nigh impossible to become addicted to.
personally, i think that addiction has much more to do with your own psychology than it does with the inherent qualities of a substance. thats why i try to avoid drugs – i recognize that i have a very addictive and dependent personality, and have a sneaking suspicion that my getting involved with drugs is bound to end badly.
Someone said something about how they thought it was weird that all the Lifetime movies showed the athletes or the skinny girls as the ones with a problem. It makes sense, because they are trying to show that the popular/skinny/athletic kids have problems too.
Rystefn
Ah, stupid "health" teachers… or should it be health "teachers"? Regardless, the whole class is screwed up in a great many ways – or at least it was when I was in school, and I've heard nothing since then about it getting better… only worse.
I appreciate trying to keep people from falling into drug addiction. It's a serious problem. Lying about it, though, doesn't help anyone.
Petitemalfleur
I think it's important to keep in mind the medium that you're receiving this education through. There's simply no room in a high school health class to go into details about how addictive each drug is or the various degrees each drug impacts one's health. Yes, some drugs like cannibus are much safer than drugs like heroine or crack, but is it really practical to stress this in the course? Frequent marijuana use does have mind altering effects, including bi-polar like mood swings and extreme paranoia. Ecstasy puts people in the hospital, and causes permanent lowering of seretonin levels in the brain, leading to chronic depression. Is this as extreme as the health effects of becoming addicted to cocaine, which cause people to die of heart attacks at age 20? Certainly not, but is it practical to go into quality of life details to high school students who have no comprehension of what seretonin levels are? Detailed pharmacology isn't useful at the high school level.
All illicit drugs, including alcohol and nicotine, have long and short term health effects of various degrees. The argument that villainizing certain drugs over legal drugs are irrelevant to the class. It's not the health teacher's place to interject the morality of the politics surrounding the current laws. These drugs are illegal, and no matter how the general public views that fact, it's irrelevant to the high school curriculum within a health class. Teaching anything else but what is being taught only detracts from the purpose of the lesson, which is to discourage illicit drug use.
Why isn't there room to go into detail about these drugs? The point of education is not to ensure that students follow federal law, but to ensure that students can make informed and practical decisions about their health and about their own bodies. I don't see any point in lying to a student about the addictiveness of legal or illegal drugs.
In our unit about nutrition, our health teacher did not simply say "don't eat junk food." He explored the science behind it, explained how our bodies turn food into fat, how our bodies build muscle, and how our bodies absorb vitamins and minerals. Then we understood why eating fat-laden foods and lying around all day caused us to gain weight. And we understood how to lose it.
There probably was no room to go into tiny details about the murky details of drug studies. But he could have gone into a discussion about federal drug schedules so we could learn about the law in more detail, just as we learned about nutrition in more detail. Then we also could have understood how the government has judged these drugs to be different from one another, but still determined all of them to be dangerous enough to be illegal.
Not that I entirely agree with the government on this point, but that's another matter.
I agree, vreify. I think Petitemalfleur may be underestimating students. There is no point in lying to students; it does more harm than good. Frankly, being told that doing a drug just once and bam! you're hooked, simply implies that there is something magical about this drug – I mean, what average person can even imagine something so powerful and life-altering that you're hooked after one try? I certainly couldn't, and any student who is intrigued by this seeming magical quality will be all the more curious to try it. Don't lie to students about the realities of drugs. And the realities aren't as bleak as the extreme examples shown on news programs and even in the comments on this thread. If you have a healthy (and realistic) approach to drugs, and a healthy respect for what they are capable of doing, then maybe there will be fewer people who get hooked, and more people we can save who are already hooked. Lies don't get us anywhere. Lies gives us the war on drugs (which is essentially a war on people, to give a cliched quote from "Traffic", haha).

Ahh! Sorry,this is just me weirdness creeping in – but isn't the word "addictive", not "addicting"? Like "nicotine is addictive", but "those cigarettes are addicting me to nicotine"?

Poll: Should Mark Taylor be allowed to return to New Zealand?
'Kiwi Jihadist' Mark Taylor could face legal action if he manages to make his way back into New Zealand.
Taylor travelled to Syria to join Islamic State five years ago. He is currently being held in a Kurdish prison in Syria, according to Australian Public Broadcaster ABC.
Mark Taylor doesn't have a current New Zealand passport and if he wanted to return to New Zealand, he would need to travel to a country in which New Zealand has a consulate - most likely Turkey.
However, Ms Ardern says New Zealand is not obligated to fund his return.

英文摘要: Beer industry has been experiencing new development in recent years. Many new craft beer workshops are built and new technologies and new products are born. These craft beer products, combining the style of industrial beer more or less, have their individual features. Among them, four craft beer products including low-alcohol or none-alcohol beer, low-calorie beer, fruit beer and functional beer are typical representatives. With the enrichment of medicinal food and the integration of Chinese nature, functional beer might lead the development of craft beer in the future. In this paper, the new development of craft beer was reviewed.

Alice Walker has a much better sense of history than Herman Cain! Maybe she should run for President
Alice Walker gets it, she understands her responsibility to humanity as a result of the struggles she and people before her went through in this country.
there is for me an awareness of paying off a debt to the Jewish civil rights activists who faced death to come to the side of black people in the South in our time of need. I am especially indebted to Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman who heard our calls for help – our government then as now glacially slow in providing protection to non-violent protestors-and came to stand with us.
They got as far as the truncheons and bullets of a few "good ol' boys'" of Neshoba County, Mississippi and were beaten and shot to death along with James Cheney, a young black man of formidable courage who died with them. So, even though our boat will be called The Audacity of Hope, it will fly the Goodman, Cheney, Schwerner flag in my own heart.
And what of the children of Palestine, who were ignored in our President's latest speech on Israel and Palestine, and whose impoverished, terrorized, segregated existence was mocked by the standing ovations recently given in the U.S. Congress to the prime minister of Israel?
I see children, all children, as humanity's most precious resource, because it will be to them that the care of the planet will always be left. One child must never be set above another, even in casual conversation, not to mention in speeches that circle the globe.
As insightful as it can get. I admire someone who risks it all, including her life if we are to go on Israel's past deeds towards such endeavors, to stand up for the rights of people and a cause that's not politically correct. Perhaps Herman can and all the other demagogues of the GOP can learn a thing or two from Ms. Walker. The WSJ's James Taranto's claims of political correctness prohibiting him and others from advancing bigotry ring hollow when weighed against the moral certainty of Walker's position. Respect!

Israel is NOT a democratic state, and the people who live there are not interested in democracy. In the "old days" saying that made one an enemy of America, or at the least, a place to be colonized and brought democracy, but our special relationship with Israel simply doesn't allow such solutions be applied to the Israeli problem. What is surely a sign of things to come is this news coming from that troubled country
A community in northern Israel has changed its bylaws to demand that new residents pledge support for "Zionism, Jewish heritage and settlement of the land" in a thinly veiled attempt to block Arab applicants from gaining admission. Critics are calling the bylaw, adopted by Manof, home to 170 Jewish families in Galilee, a local "loyalty oath" similar to a national scheme recently proposed by the far-Right party of the government minister Avigdor Lieberman. Other Jewish communities in the central Galilee — falling under the umbrella of a regional council known as Misgav — are preparing similar bylaws in response to a court petition filed by an Arab couple hoping to build a home in Misgav.
Reading the article at the link above is like being taken back into the early 1900s in American history. The language used to justify such racist actions is steeped in fear and bigotry from a group of people who promised, at least indirectly, never to be apart of such action and or speech again. How quickly they've forgotten and how pathetic their reality has become. America should not enable such "hate speech" any longer.

Venezuela and moral authority
There's an interesting discussion going on over at Lenin's Tomb about whether Israel is a nation in decline. I think the tense is wrong on the supposition for I think Israel's descent into the abyss occurred during the 1967 war, a war which even some of Israel's staunchest supporters back then said was not one necessary to have fought. In other words Israel is a declined nation.
Yediot Aharonot of April 27 has published an 1976 interview with Moshe Dayan (which was not previously published). Dayan, who was the defense minister in 1967, explains there what led, then, to the decision to attack Syria. In the collective consciousness of the period, Syria was conceived as a serious threat to the security of Israel, and a constant initiator of aggression towards the residents of northern Israel. But according to Dayan, this is 'bull-shit' – Syria was not a threat to Israel before 67. Just drop it – he says as an answer to a question about the northern residences – I know how at least 80% of all the incidents with Syria started. We were sending a tractor to the demilitarized zone and we knew that the Syrians will shoot. If they did not shoot, we would instruct the tractor to go deeper, till the Syrians finally got upset and start shooting. Then we employed artillery, and later also the air-force… I did that… and Itzhak Rabin did that, when he was there (as commander of the Northern front, in the early sixties) .
And what has led Israel to provoke Syria? According to Dayan, this was the greediness for the land – the idea that it is possible to grab a piece of land and keep it, until the enemy will get tired and give it to us . The Syrian land was, as he says, particularly tempting, since, unlike Gaza and the West bank it was not heavily populated.
From then on Israel's war were fought because of greed, not for the security of its citizens but rather to take from its neighbors land and resources that they, the Israelis, coveted; Israel is too arrogant to negotiate with its neighbors whom it feels are inferior to them. However taking a page from Lenin's book, I would like to tie the decline of the American empire to that of the Israeli one. For at the same time that Israel was attacking its neighbors and even its allies, a la the USS Liberty, the United States was fighting a war of aggression in a faraway land for reasons that had nothing at all to do with its security, and that war too was fought on the basis of deceit.
Over the years the US-Israeli alliance seemed to take divergent paths, even though there were very strong relations between the two countries, but the 90's and the rise of neoconservative thought seemed to return the two countries to a common theme; they could fight whoever they wanted under whatever guise they wanted and expect there would be no consequences for their aggression. That convergence to me is the beginning of the end for America, which was a light among nations and a moral leader as we began to abandon our racist ideology of Jim Crowism.
With the rise of the neoconservative school of thought, threats were inflated in importance and our country became a victim in the face of these threats, many if not most of them imagined. There was an evil Soviet empire that at every turn meant to do us harm and there was the fifth element among us who worked for that evil empire that we had to expunge from our society.
This evolution in American politics mirrors what the Israelis have done to their own citizens and to their neighbors. The only difference between us is the close proximity of Israel's threats compared to ours; Israel's enemies were its immediate neighbors, whereas our enemies were oceans removed from our borders. Slowly however our enemies' borders began to shift, move and became the very same enemies as Israel's and that's when our demise was sealed, because we accepted the Israeli rules of deception, we drank the kool-aide of lies and false flags in order to justify aggression, and threw away the notion of our national self interest and tied it with Israel's interests. In effect we became the tail that Israel wagged.
Gaza is proof of that, and the brazen statements of Ehud Olmert, that we were shamed into accepting the Israeli position, as if theirs was the only position we could reasonably take is one of the nails in our coffin. The other nail is the response of other world countries to the Gaza atrocities; those other countries like Venezeula and Boliva, places we once called banana republics have assumed a moral stance that the slaughter of civilians won't be tolerated, a position America can no longer take because of it's skewed view of what's in its interests. Bolivia went so far as to say 'the country's authorities are to bring a formal complaint against the Israeli state to the International Criminal Court regarding the attacks on the Gaza Strip..' By breaking off diplomatic relations with Israel, the very least a country can do in the face of this onslaught against international law by the Israelis, Bolivia, Venezeula, Qatar and Mauritania, two new players to object formally to Israel's genocide, have taken a high road abandoned by the US after its moral decline.
The question for me now becomes can we recover, be resuscitated to where we once were? As long as we rubber stamp Israel's selection of leaders who are 20 times more homicidal than Ahmadadijad could ever hope to be, I don't think we can restore the luster. When we can no longer muster the moral courage to support UN resolutions that we helped write because of our convoluted interests with Israel we are hopeless. It's a path we went down of our own volition; what's troublesome is our "ally" watched us, encouraged us to take it, knowing where it would lead us. That "ally" has had far more experience in human history with the deceit and betrayal of confidences than the young republic of America. Perhaps the old saying 'misery loves company' is indeed true. Speaking of Iran, I chuckled when I read the headline, 'US condemns stoning executions', and asked myself 'on whose authority?'

2The water caltrop (Trapa natans), sometimes mistakenly called "water chestnut" (for whatever reason). This plant's fruits looks so strange and menacing that one of it's common English names is "Devil Pod".
3We did this as kids, dipping freshly boiled and shelled ones in granulated sugar.
Take a soft-shelled turtle weighing half a jin1 and chop it into four pieces. Add three liang of rendered lard to a heated wok and pan-fry the turtle so that the pieces are golden brown on both sides. Braise with water, autumn sauce, and wine, first with a hot flame then a gentle flame. Add garlic when the turtle is eighty percent done. Before plating add green onion, ginger, and sugar. When choosing soft-shelled turtles for this dish prefer smaller ones to larger ones. Only those small turtles colloquially known as "boy's foot turtle" are sufficiently tender.
* The actual size of the turtle used in this recipe is probably quite a bit larger than the one shown in the picture. One with the required weight would probably be large enough to fit in the palm of an adult hand.
During the summer, choose a white, clean, belt shad xiang1 and soak it in water for a day to remove its salty taste. Dry it under the sun and pan-fry with oil. When one side of the fish is golden brown, remove it from the pan. Place shrimp the side of the fish that that has not been fried, then put everything on a plate, add white sugar, and steam for a stick of incense's duration in time until done. This dish is perfect for late summer.
1 Xiang is basically a salted dried fish similar to Western salt cod except in this case, it is made from leyu (勒魚, sometimes written as 鰳 with the "fish" character as root) or Ilisha elongata. In English, this long-ish fish is commonly known as "slender shad". In the Chinese text "daizi lexiang" (帶子勒鯗, literally: belt slender shad xiang) probably refers to a particularly slender, long, and belt-like specimen of slender shad made into salted fish.
2 Xiazi le qian xiang (蝦子勒簽鯗) sounds cryptically poetic, if we listen to the Mandarin phonetics of this creatively it could be interpreted as: "The blind happily holds the elephant". Reminds me of that Indian blind people and elephant story.
One needs a certain level of expertise to buy crucian carp.1 Choose individuals that are flatter and have whiter skin since they have tender and flaky flesh that falls off the bones when cooked. Rounder and darker skin crucian carp have thick and hard bones. The innards2 of the fish must not be consumed.
The carp from the Dragon pond of Liuhe6 are large and tender, which is rather incredible. When steaming, used wine, not water, and use a small amount of sugar to enhance its delicate savoury flavour. Adjust the quantity of autumn sauce and wine used according to the size of the fish.
1 Crucian carp (Carassius auratus) is exactly the same species as the modern goldfish but they had not been bred for prettiness. They are found wild in the waterways of China.
2 This is my translation of the term "lazi" (喇子), but I'm actually not sure what it actually is. My guess is maybe Yuan Mei is talking about the saliva, gills, or the contents of the fish's gut. Or its innards perhaps?
4 Looking at this description of "Suyu", it could actually be an early variant of congshao jiyu (蔥燒鯽魚), whose preparation involves curing the fish with vinegar and braising the fish until its the bones and fins are tender enough to eat.
5 Saying Suyu can't compare to the steamed natural version is quite like Yuan Mei, who previously complained in an earlier section (River Delicacies 1: Two Ways of Preparing Grenadier Anchovy) that fish prepared to the biscuit tender manner is terrible.
6 Dragon Pond in Liuhe District (六合區, 龍池) is an actual pond, still existent in the district of Liuhe. (coordinates: 32.3249065,118.8163633) Whether the fish there is still good is highly doubt-able.
This a very similar recipe compared to the previous recipe with the exact same name for "chicken with mushrooms". This makes one wonder if Yuan Mei was unintentionally repeating himself. Or it this is not the case, perhaps Yuan Mei just did not remember to combine the two similar recipes together? Or perhaps he forgot that he already wrote something about chicken with mushrooms?
In any case, his Qing dynasty editors (if he had any) missed this.
Think of this as yet another brownish-red coloured soy-braised chicken.


Question seeking solution for adding RAM.
Please help out a new at RAM Purchasing.
Now, i would like to add an additional 8 GB of RAM and of course, Newegg and Amazon are out of stock of that ram stick.
Can i add this? Or, if not, woulda better option be to add a similar ram DDR4 2133 (pc41700)?
I do not know much about ram but if the faster speed ram was to work with the stick you already have then it would work at the lower speed but chances are it probably would not work and you would be better of buying a matched pair of the newer sticks even buying the same brand and model comes with no guarantee's.
It should work, if I'm not mistaken, even though one stick is faster it should default to the lowest speed 2133 in this case. Anyways, the 100% best option is waiting for your original stick to become available, or buy a completely new kit, to my knowledge the cheapest 16gb kit on PCPP is $78.
Memory is guaranteed in the form sold. Adding extra memory has no guarantee to be compatible with what you have.
You can sell your current 2133MHz memory.

The PlayStation 4 turns four years old at the end of this year, and in that time a plethora of great games have been released on the system. Luckily for people who still have new games to try out on the PS4, that means there will still be great options for you to choose from. Even luckier are those brand new to the console, who have over three years of back catalogue games to get through.
So get a pen and paper, and have your wallets and purses at the ready; these are 25 best PlayStation 4 games money can buy.
Nathan Drake's final outing was arguably his finest. Over a career that spanned almost a decade and two generations, Naughty Dog had continued to polish an already-seamless action-adventure series, until they reached the pinnacle of video game story-telling and visuals. In Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, we follow Nate on his last hunt for treasure, pirate Henry Avery's.
In a more emotional story than we've seen him in before, more seems at stake this time around for our protagonist, as old family ties are unearthed, and current ones are a threat. This is game development at its very best, and what results is immaculate gameplay, jaw-dropping visuals, and a story to make you laugh and cry.


Rottweiler saves a tiny pug who was trapped down hole for 10 days !
A giant Rottweiler named 'Bear' became a hero after saving the life of a fellow dog, tiny pug who was trapped down hole for 10 days.
A really smart Rottweiler dog has helped save a tiny pug named Olive who has been trapped down a hole for 10 days.
Nichola Jones the rottweiler's owner, was walking the dog when he picked the scent of the terrified pug in the bottom of a well after she had run off spooked by fireworks.
Sensing Olive the pug's scent during the walk, Bear guided his owner to the spot where the little dog was trapped.
"Bear is a hero, he's a wonder dog. He was behaving in such a strange way. He is such a happy animal. He's so special and this just tops it."
Olive was completely spooked by the large bangs from the firework explosions and ran off from owner student Saffron Mackeson and remained missing in cold, wintry conditions for 10 days.
Ms Jones said: "I have been following story and we have been walking around the area trying to find Olive, and suddenly Bear stopped. He wouldn't move. So I went through the hedge and I found a well and looked down and there was this black pug. I climbed in and pulled her out."
A delighted Saffron, 16, said today: "I'm so relieved. She's lost a lot of weight but other than that she's fine. We were so happy when we got the call."
