Pass the magic lens over the scene. You will see how the world would look if your eyes could see a different kind of light called infrared radiation.
The infrared photo album shows a world that is just as real as the one we see with our eyes. So why can't we normally see this world?
Light is a form of energy. The only difference between the light we can see and infrared radiation we can't see is how much energy it carries. Our eyes react only to visible light. Other kinds of light don't even register. We have invented other ways to see these other forms of light.
The light we see is just one form of electromagnetic radiation. Except for objects that are absolutely cold and give off no energy at all, all objects give off electromagnetic radiation. The hotter the object, the more radiation it gives off. Stars like our sun give off huge amounts of electromagnetic radiation at all energies. Cool objects (like ice cubes, people, and cups of coffee) give off mostly infrared radiation. We can detect this radiation as heat.
In the infrared pictures you can see with our magic lens, the hotter parts appear red and white, while the colder parts are purple and black. Since the infrared camera is quite sensitive to the different amounts of infrared energy being given off by the objects in its view, you can see which are the hotter parts of the scene.
Planets, moons, clouds of dust, and clouds of gas in space are very cool compared with stars and galaxies. So, in order to see them very clearly, it is best to look for the infrared radiation they are putting out. Hotter objects, like stars and galaxies, emit most of their energy in the visible, ultraviolet, and x-ray ranges.
The Spitzer Space Telescope, launched into orbit around the Sun in 2003, detects the infrared energy coming from cooler objects in space. Most of this energy is blocked by Earth's atmosphere, so cannot be detected by telescopes on the ground.
Besides putting the telescope into space to get it above Earth's atmosphere, Spitzer's designers had some other big problems to solve. Even in space, Spitzer is heated from the Sun and produces its own heat from operating the computers and other instruments. The designers wanted to make sure that the infrared radiation Spitzer detects is coming from interesting objects in space and not from the telescope itself. They solved that problem by using liquid helium to cool the telescope. The telescope is so cold that any infrared energy it detects has to be coming from somewhere else.
This cutaway drawing shows Spitzer's cryostat, with its tank of liquid helium, and the telescope mounted above.
Using the Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists can study dusty clouds where stars form and the icy surfaces of asteroids and the moons of other planets. Also, this telescope will help scientists learn what kinds of chemicals are in the clouds of gas between the stars and in the atmospheres of stars. The Spitzer may also help answer some of astronomy's big questions about the very early history of the Universe.

Bobby Bowden hospitalized with COVID-19, report says
Bowden's wife says it's a precautionary measure, according to Tallahassee Democrat
Published: October 6, 2020, 10:11 PM Updated: October 7, 2020, 6:55 AM
Report: Legendary FSU head coach Bobby Bowden tests positive for COVID-19
One day after announcing that he tested positive for the coronavirus, legendary Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden was hospitalized as a precaution, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
The Democrat quoted Bowden's wife of more than 70 years, Ann, as saying it was a precaution due to fatigue and that the 90-year-old former coach was scheduled to undergo a chest X-ray among other tests.
"I feel sure he's going to be OK," Ann Bowden told the Democrat. "I am very positive. I am not an alarmist. He hasn't been getting around much at all due to his leg; it has been pretty painful. He sleeps much of the day."
Bowden was originally diagnosed after spending several weeks in the hospital being treated for an infection after having a procedure to remove skin cancer from his leg.
Bowden coached Florida State from 1976-2009, amassing 389 wins (twelve of which were vacated by the NCAA because an ineligible player played in the games), two national championships, and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006.

Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) has brought back the SPG Pro Double Double promotion for meetings/events organized between December 1 – June 30, 2017.
SPG Pro is a program for meeting planners and event organizers that can earn Starpoints and elite qualifying nights for the business that they throw Starwood's way.
You can access SPG Pro Double Double promotion here.
This promotion enabled SPG Pro members to earn double Starpoints and Elite Qualifying Nights for their Starwood meeting and event business between December 1 – June 30, 2017.
It is interesting to see what happens to all these SPG programs when the program integration in 2018 gets closer. Starwood tends to run much more promotions compared to Marriott.
SPG® members must register at spg.com/double by June 30, 2017, 11:59 p.m. ET. Each eligible event must be booked between December 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, for arrival between December 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, (the "Promotion Period") to qualify for the SPG Pro Double Double promotion.
Registered members can earn double Starpoints® and double Eligible Nights for each Eligible Event Agreement during the Promotion Period.
STARPOINTS: Standard Preferred-level earning is usually 1 Starpoint for every US$3 of eligible revenue spent on meetings and events, up to a maximum of 20,000 Starpoints per Eligible Event Agreement. With this promotion, members may earn 2 Starpoints for every US$3 of eligible revenue spent on meetings and events, up to a maximum of 40,000 Starpoints per Eligible Event Agreement. Elite level member bonuses count separately and are not doubled.
ELIGIBLE NIGHTS: Standard earning is 1 Eligible Night toward elite status for every 20 consumed group room nights, up to a maximum of 20 Eligible Nights per Eligible Event Agreement.

Bonus Starpoints and bonus Eligible Nights earned under this promotion will be posted to the SPG member's account within 2–4 weeks of the SPG-participating hotel's posting of the base Starpoints and Eligible Nights.
The Eligible Nights earned under this promotion will not count toward the 250 total Eligible Nights needed to obtain SPG Lifetime™ Gold status or the 500 total Eligible Nights needed to obtain SPG Lifetime™ Platinum status under Sections 8.4 and 8.5 of the SPG program terms.
If you registered for both the SPG Pro Toast Twice and SPG Pro Double Double promotions, and have a meeting or event with booking and arrival during the three months where these promotions overlap (December 1, 2016–February 28, 2017) that satisfied the terms and conditions for both promotions, you will receive the benefits of SPG Pro Double Double only. Double dipping is not allowed on the same event between Toast Twice and Double Double.
SPG® members who registered for the original SPG Pro Double Double promotion that launched in September 2015 will continue to earn for eligible events booked between September 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016, for arrival between September 1, 2015, and December 31, 2016, (the original "Promotion Period").

A: Eligible bookings are Eligible Event Agreements booked at an SPG-participating hotel between December 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, with an arrival date between December 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017 (the "Promotion Period"). Check the terms and conditions of the SPG program, which can be found here, for full details on Eligible Event Agreements. Ten brands are participating in this SPG promotion: St. Regis®, The Luxury Collection®, W®, Le Méridien®, Westin®, Sheraton®, Tribute Portfolio™, Aloft®, ElementSM and Four Points®.Q: How are the double Starpoints® and double Eligible Nights calculated? A: Registered members can earn double Starpoints and double Eligible Nights for each Eligible Event Agreement during the Promotion Period.STARPOINTS: Regular Preferred-level earning is usually 1 Starpoint for every US$3 of eligible revenue spent on meetings and events, up to a maximum of 20,000 Starpoints per Eligible Event Agreement. With this promotion, members may earn 2 Starpoints for every US$3 of eligible revenue spent on meetings and events, up to a maximum of 40,000 Starpoints per Eligible Event Agreement.

(If you're a Gold or Platinum member, you may earn up to 50,000 Starpoints per Eligible Event Agreement instead of the regular 30,000; if you have SPG 75 Nights Benefits or higher, you may earn up to 60,000 Starpoints per Eligible Event Agreement instead of the regular 40,000).

A: Yes, you may register for the promotion anytime before 11:59 p.m. ET on June 30, 2017. As long as you are listed as the member to receive SPG Pro benefits in the Eligible Event Agreement and the agreement is signed during the Promotion Period, you will receive the bonus for the event.
A: Your double Starpoints and double Eligible Nights will be posted two to four weeks after the sales team awards your SPG Pro benefits.
A: No, the bonus Eligible Nights earned through this promotion count toward annual elite status qualification only and not toward SPG Lifetime qualification.

A: Yes, you may join SPG or SPG Pro and register for the promotion at spg.com/double.
Q: Can I take advantage of both the SPG Pro Toast Twice promotion and the SPG Pro Double Double promotion at the same time?
A: If you have registered for both the SPG Pro Toast Twice promotion and the SPG Pro Double Double promotion and have meetings or events with both booking and arrival during the three months in which these promotions overlap (December 1, 2016, through February 28, 2017) and that satisfies the terms and conditions for both promotions, you will receive the benefits of SPG Pro Double Double only. Double-dipping is not allowed on the same event between Toast Twice and Double Double.
Q: Will I still get my bonuses from the original Double Double promotion?
A: Yes, if you registered for the original SPG Pro Double Double promotion between September 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016, and booked eligible meetings or events between September 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016, for arrival between September 1, 2015, and December 31, 2016, you will still receive the benefits of the original SPG Pro Double Double promotion.

Method Visualizes Nano-structure of Bones
The new process is said to surpass
previous CT scans far;
© panthermedia.net/ Andreas Wolf
Three-dimensional detailed imaging of fragile bone structures becomes possible. This new technique will facilitate advances in both life sciences and materials sciences.
Osteoporosis, a medical condition in which bones become brittle and fragile from a loss of density, is among the most common diseases in aging bones. Patients' bone material shrinks rapidly, leading to a significantly increased risk of fracture. In clinical research to date, osteoporosis is diagnosed almost exclusively by establishing an overall reduction in bone density. This approach, however, gives little information about the associated, and equally important, local structure and bone density changes. Franz Pfeiffer, professor for Biomedical Physics at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) and head of the research team, has resolved the dilemma: "With our newly developed nano-CT method it is now possible to visualize the bone structure and density changes at high resolutions and in 3D. This enables us to do research on structural changes related to osteoporosis on a nanoscale and thus develop better therapeutic approaches."
During development, Pfeiffer's team built on X-ray computed tomography (CT). The principle is well established – CT scanners are used every day in hospitals and medical practices for the diagnostic screening of the human body.
The newly developed method measures not only the overall beam intensity absorbed by the object under examination at each angle, but also those parts of the X-ray beam that are deflected in different directions – "diffracted" in the language of physics. Such a diffraction pattern is generated for every point in the sample. This supplies additional information about the exact nanostructure, as X-ray radiation is particularly sensitive to the tiniest of structural changes. "Because we have to take and process so many individual pictures with extreme precision, it was particularly important during the implementation of the method to use high-brilliance X-ray radiation and fast, low-noise pixel detectors – both available at the Swiss Light Source (SLS)," says Oliver Bunk.
The diffraction patterns are then processed using an algorithm developed by the team. TUM researcher Martin Dierolf explains: "We developed an image reconstruction algorithm that generates a high-resolution, three-dimensional image of the sample using over one hundred thousand diffraction patterns. This algorithm takes into account not only classical X-ray absorption, but also the significantly more sensitive phase shift of the X-rays." A showcase example of the new technique was the examination of a 25-micrometer, superfine bone specimen of a laboratory mouse – with surprisingly exact results. The so-called phase contrast CT pictures show even smallest variations in the specimen's bone density with extremely high precision: Cross-sections of cavities where bone cells reside and their roughly 100 nanometer-fine interconnection network are clearly visible.
"Although the new nano-CT procedure does not achieve the spatial resolution currently available in electron microscopy, it can – because of the high penetration of X-rays – generate three-dimensional tomography images of bone samples," comments Roger Wepf, director of the Electron Microscopy Center of the ETH Zurich (EMEZ). "Furthermore, the new nano-CT procedure stands out with its high precision bone density measurement capacity, which is particularly important in bone research." This method will open the door to more precise studies on the early phase of osteoporosis, in particular, and evaluation of the therapeutic outcomes of various treatments in clinical studies.

"Barbaric", says Oklahoma Senator Lankford about Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood Being Investigated Again?
LISTEN NOW! When Founder of Center for Medical Progress, David Daleiden, launched his own investigation regarding Planned Parenthood, many were shocked at the alleged findings regard abortions and the sellingof unborn baby's body parts. Today, the continuing concern regarding Planned Parenthood's operations hasn't stopped.
According to CBN News, "Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has asked the FBI to start a criminal investigation into Planned Parenthood". In response to Grassley's actions, Oklahoma Senator James Lankford describes the operations of Planned Parenthood as "barbaric". Additionally, Lankford adds, "it is time to hold America accountable and use taxpayer dollars to support women's care without supporting abortion".
It is such a powerful answer to prayer that we are not ignoring the powerful work that David Daleiden and his team worked so hard to make known, but that we are acknowledging the "barbaric" reality that abortion is. Continue to pray that God would end abortion altogether. Get the full conversation to see what is taking place in our leadership, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Federal Express, Planned Parenthood, Congress, life, and prayer. Greg and Steve shared in this segment.

Equality Act in force
Emma Sanderson
Consultant | UK
The majority of the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 ('the Act') will come into force on 1 October 2010.
The Act, intended to harmonise the current assortment of legislation addressing discrimination across various strands (or, in the language of the Act, 'protected characteristics'), includes:
a consolidated framework of protection against direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation in a range of fields (including, in addition to work/employment, services, public functions, premises, education, transport and associations);
widening the scope of direct discrimination explicitly to protect those who are associated with someone who has, or who are themselves perceived to have, a protected characteristic;
harmonising the legal test for indirect discrimination across all 'protected characteristics' and widening the scope of indirect discrimination in respect of disability;
a new statutory concept of 'discrimination arising from disability';
extending the range of circumstances in which an employer may liable for harassment of employees by third parties;
restricting the circumstances in which employers may ask job applicants questions about their health prior to making a job offer;
restricting the circumstances in which employers may rely on pay secrecy clauses. However the widely reported new provisions on gender pay reporting will not become law just yet.
The protective regime of the Act will apply where:
an act carried out before 1 October 2010 is unlawful under previous discrimination legislation;
the act continues on or after 1 October 2010; and
the act is also unlawful under the Act.
In other words, where a continuing act of discrimination straddles 1 October 2010, the employee can claim under the Act in respect of the whole period of discrimination, without having to rely on the old law.
However, the previous discrimination legislation will not entirely disappear overnight. Transitional provisions confirm that the Act does not apply to discriminatory acts taking place wholly before 1 October 2010. Employees may still bring claims in respect of such acts under the outgoing legislation, even if their claim is lodged after the Act has taken effect.
Action points for employers
Employers would be well advised to consider their current policies (in particular equal opportunities policies and procedures) to ensure that these are up-to-date and consistent with the Act. Further, employers who prepare and issue compromise agreements in-house should seek advice to ensure that their standard form agreement encompasses all relevant current claims.

The whole set of server data is presented in an easily readable fashion so that you can locate the information you'll need.
The Access and Error Listings record information about the server, including details about server access plus the types of errors detected in the course of server operation. You'll find both forms of info on the overall performance of your sites in the Web Statistics Manager part of the Website Control Panel.
The access log shows the whole set of text files, image files, video files, etc. that others already have demanded to look at with your web site, whilst the error log reports virtually all alerts and errors the host has spotted ever since the log file is created.
When you manage an effective website, it's crucial that you know a lot about visitors – what amount of unique visitors your website gets, exactly how many site visitors come back to your site, exactly what key phrases visitors utilize to find your website, and so forth. In the Web Statistics Manager area of your Website Control Panel, you'll notice two web traffic statistics tools – Webalizer and Awstats that can help you get the information that you require.
The tools demand no installation. After your site is online, they will begin acquiring info with no effort on your part.

This accurate info will keep you up to date on the server memory usage at any minute and can enable you to prevent your sites from moving offline due to web server overload (exceeded server power consumption limitations).


If you want to figure out the increase on your own property, find your property's assessed value on your current tax bill or on the town website. Divide the assessed value by 1000, and multiply that number by 0.94. For example, if your house is currently assessed at $400,000, multiply $400 by 0.94 to learn that your taxes will go up by $376. After the first year, your tax bill would only increase by the usual 2 ½ percent. For the median house assessed at $479,345, the override will increase property taxes by $451.
The 2 ½ percent limit applies to the total tax revenue on all existing property in town. If your property's assessed value increased at an above-average rate, your tax bill would have gone up more than the town-wide average. For every taxpayer whose bill rose more than 2.5%, however, there is another taxpayer whose bill went up less than that, to keep overall revenues within the town-wide limits. If you think your assessment is too high, there is a process to appeal it. Contact the Assessor's Office at 781-316-3050.
Many residents are concerned about a property tax increase forcing a senior on a limited income from his or her home. There are several programs in place on the local and state level to help seniors who qualify lower the amount of tax they owe. Anyone concerned about helping a senior should call the Council on Aging (781-316-3400) for information about eligibility and how to apply.
There are exemptions for veterans (of any age), those who are blind, and various abatements for which residents who are over 65 or over 70 might qualify.
There is also a program that allows seniors who qualify to defer payment of taxes. Interest will accrue and the full amount of tax and interest ultimately must be paid to the community upon the death of the taxpayer or sale of the property.
The state has the "senior circuit breaker" which allows seniors who qualify to file for tax credit on their state income tax. It allows renters to consider a portion of their rent payment.
Finally, the Council on Aging provides information and assistance to seniors on a wide range of programs: consumer protection and legal advice, fuel assistance, food & meals delivery, financial advice, continuing education, substance abuse, home health care, support groups, volunteering, and transportation.
Eventually property values will go down if prospective buyers see Arlington as a less desirable place to buy home and raise a family. Arlington's property values have been maintained in recent years because of the town's proximity to Boston, the school system, and the level of town services. Should services and our schools decline, property values would surely decline as well.
Yes, about $30.00 a year on the average tax bill. As the middle school and elementary schools are paid off over the next 10 to 15 years, taxes will go down by much more than the $30 a year that the Thompson financing will add. Debt exclusions are different than operating overrides in that your taxes are reduced when the debt is paid.

Risen 2 Dark Waters
Categories: PC | 2 comments
Risen 2 Dark Waters Free Download
Risen 2 Dark Waters is a sequel to the first game Risen from the developers Piranha Bytes. Risen 2 is an action role playing game published by Deep Silver for PC. You can download full version of Risen 2 Dark Waters for free from the end of this page. The game has also been released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game was first announced in 2010 and it finally arrives in 2012 for PC as well as consoles. The first game Risen was really good and Risen 2 Dark Waters has to be better in order for the gamers to enjoy it, otherwise it will be a disappointment. Risen 2 Dark Waters free download is available from the bottom of this page.
Piranha Bytes has been known for creating vast worlds spanning miles in every direction with acute attention to detail on all the things that go in the virtual world. They have been making role playing games for over a decade now. Its gothic series of games was very popular for the open world gameplay where you don't have any objective or a destination but instead you can create your own destination and journey. Gothic was popular because of the surprises that you would get while traversing the vast terrains and not because there a signboard posted on your way. You would find secrets and hidden places only by accident while trying to complete an objective. Risen 2 Dark Waters PC download for free is given on this page at the end.
Gothic team was split after Gothic 3 and Piranha Byte created a new fiction game Risen which has many elements from the Gothic series. Risen 2 Dark Waters features an open-world, exploration of the world as you like without any restrictions and a world that you can believe in. Risen was a compacted version of the Gothic series with focused objective system. Risen 2 Dark Waters continues the same tradition of game making but it is thin in all departments. Risen 2 breaks from the fantasy world into the pirate world with the second game. Download Risen 2 Dark Waters free full version from the bottom of this article.
If you have not played Risen then there is no need as Risen 2 does not follow the first game in any way in fact it feels like a new beginning. The pirate theme of the make makes it even more different then the first game. You will still play as the main character from the first game but we feel it would have been better if a new hero was introduced to the series as the game is not much related to the first one.
You are on a mission to destroy a powerful sea creature and in order to achieve this goal you need to find many hidden artifacts and bring them together. Though the story and gameplay feel similar to this RPG genre the developers have taken care to set the rules for a pirate based game with quests related to the pirate theme. Risen 2 Dark Waters free download for PC can be done from the link given at the end of this story.
Risen 2 Dark Waters features a considerable smaller world to explore meaning you will not be lost in the vast world like the previous games from the developers. Risen 2 differs very much in the space that you are allowed to go out during a quest. In previous games you could go off in any direction while on a quest which is not possible in Risen 2 as the world is small. Though there are many flaws in this game there are things that make this game worth some of your time. This is the most user-friendly of games from Piranha Byte with fast traveling option to travel between points of interest. To know how to download Risen 2 free read the entire article or skip to the end for the links.
Piranha Byte shows why it's known for creating big and believable worlds once again through Risen 2 Dark Waters. You get many islands which are beautifully created with attention to detail to each object. Though this game is the most user-friendly of them all it lacks the major elements that made the previous games so much better. There are some great ideas but they have been failed in implementation. Surely if you want to play a game as a pirate then this game is for you and if you don't go in with a lot of expectations from the game then you will enjoy it. But the developers should have worked harder and a little longer to bring out a much polished and finished game. Following link will give you Risen 2 Dark Waters free download.

So I finally was able to get on smoeone else's laptop to play your game! (my arrow keys on my laptop don't work)The game was simple but so amazingly beautiful !I loved the game so much! I was actually really worried because I kept on waiting for something to happen to the girl (like her dying in one of the maps) but I'm glad to see that it ended on a happy note.Good work! :]


I'M SURE IT was intended to convey warm feelings. Family, sunshine, laughter in the backyard, grandma...and puppies! And food. Let's not forget the food. And to drink, why Pepsi, of course.
It was 1975. The movie Jaws was all the rage. I had read the book before seeing the movie, trying my hardest to appear bookish like my older sister. But my life, at 15 was fraught with both inner and outer conflicts. I couldn't seem to attain the achievements of my peers. My list of self-imposed goals and aspirations were out of reach and the inner critic was a blaring cacophony of judgmental missives. I was too fat, I didn't have a boyfriend... that was about it. Not exactly lofty goals but when you're a teenager, your priorities are, well, shortsighted. It's true I didn't have a boyfriend, but I was far from fat.
I was carrying a lot of baggage, even at this early age. And because I owned a season pass to the roller coaster of life, I was constantly up and down with no adult ears to help me sort it all out. I think this is the real tragedy--not having the wisdom of a caring adult at the ready to guide me and remind me that it was okay and that one day I'd understand.
But a survivor must do what she's got to do and despite the fact that caring adults weren't at the ready, I found solace. The Pepsi commercial spoke to me. All these years later, I remember it. Not every detail but the puppies and the joyful giggles of an innocent little boy. How it broke me. I wrote about it a few years ago while in the early stages of crafting my memoir.
A few weeks ago, thanks to the skill of Google and YouTube, I was able to locate it. The entire commercial. The first time I listened to it, I almost burst into tears with the bubbling of submerged emotions. Wow. Isn't it amazing what our computers are capable of?
Here it is. (It's only 59 seconds.) Do you remember it?
Get out of town Gracie!!I do remember the puppies and the giggling little boy...how refreshing.
OMG, I do remember that commercial, but I had no idea it was for Pepsi. It's funny how ads can be such a strong memory, or become associated with certain things happening in our lives. I was angsty at 15 too.
I sure do remember that commercial and the giggling little boy! 1975. Ugh. Wouldn't go back there for anything though.
I definitely remember that commercial! I wouldn't want to be a teenager again for sure. There are certain songs that come on from when I was pretty young and it's amazing the feelings they bring up.
The commercial isn't really familiar, at least not the visuals, but the song definitely touched a cord. The giggleling and the puppies though? If you would have been in my living room this evening when I returned home from a day at the YGP Show you would have witnessed a scene very familiar. Granted it was one one senior dog, and a 40-something female, but nothing can make me giggle the way she can...and I think she enjoys it even more than me. I am lucky.
I loved that commercial...it was so cute but the family and love was so uplifting...great memories Grace!
Oh, dear. Yes, I remember that commercial! I am with Catherine I would not like to relive my younger years either. Too much to traumatize you.Of course the Beatles, Vietnam war and flower power did not help at all with all of the other frustrations to go through besides. LOL!
My McAffey virus program always has a fit when I try to go to your postings for some silly reason. It always pops up and asks me "Do you want to go to this site?" I keep telling it "yes, I want to go visit Grace" but it forgets as bad as I do these days. LOL!
This is the real tragedy--not having the wisdom of a caring adult at the ready to guide and remind me that it was okay and that one day understand.


Real Reason for the Cyprus Debacle?
Dominant Social Theme: We will do what needs to be done to salvage the EU with implacable rigor.
Free-Market Analysis: This article, an opinion piece, actually, deals with the question of why the European Union and its central bank did what it did regarding Cyprus.
It doesn't really come up with an answer, though, in fact, in various analyses we've tried to provide the only logical response to the ultimatum that Brussels gave to Cyprus.
The big loser are working-class Cypriots, whose elected government has proved powerless in the face of decisions driven by Germany, and who are now edging towards fury. The Eurozone has always had a democratic deficit: monetary union was imposed by the elite on unthankful and unwilling citizens. Now the citizens are revolting: just look at Beppe Grillo. Across the continent, they've lost their democratic right to determine their own fate at the ballot box, and instead they're being instructed what to do by Germans.
Now, in Cyprus, they're simply and directly losing their money. Someone with €8,000 of life savings in the bank can ill afford to lose an arbitrary €540, but that's exactly what is going to happen. The Cypriot parliament is probably not going to revolt this weekend, but any politician who votes for this bill is going to have a very, very hard time getting re-elected.
This decision is important not only because of the precedent it sets with regard to bank depositors, but also because of the way in which it points up just how powerless all the Mediterranean countries (plus Ireland) have become. More than ever before, it's Germany's Europe. That's bad for Cyprus — and it's not even particularly good for Germany.
These are actually the concluding paragraphs of the article and we can see the puzzlement that is reflected within them. The demands that the EU has made on Cyprus is going to leave a lasting legacy of, well … fury. There are no good outcomes, it seems.
The only conclusion we can come to, watching events unfold not just in Cyprus but in Greece, Spain and Italy, as well, is that these moves are, in fact, being made to engender a kind of … chaos.
Will Grillo's Dubious Affiliations Send the EU Back Into a Sterile Debate?
When one examines the increasingly provocative actions and machinations of those "leaders" revolving around the orbit of the EU, the conclusion that the crisis is being exacerbated on purpose becomes an increasingly logical option.

"I was referred by a friend to Olde Raleigh Roofing Company. Not only was the price right for me but it was done the same weekend that I accepted the bid. It was a great job, and since then they have done my neighbor's house as well. I highly recommend using them."


Which comes first – the plants or the garden?
Plants – that's the whole point of having a garden, isn't it? Or is it? I only questioned this after reading Anne Wareham's The Bad Tempered Gardener. Like all great books, it makes you think long after you've finished it.
It is here that I hold up my hands and blush profusely. I am one of those people who impulse buys plants and I have done since I was a child. I can't explain it – a bit like I imagine a drug rush, I suppose.
She's quite right of course – Anne's garden, The Veddw, has simple, clean, elegant lines and nothing looks bitty. It is properly designed – no oddities shoehorned in.
My garden is not properly designed. Well, it is in my head, but so much gets in the way. Plant obsessive + small garden = cluttered disaster area.
I start each season, when the catalogues come out, and plan what I am going to grow, then place my orders early.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), there arrives an influx of plants and seeds to trial, which I'm not grumbling about, but does upset the apple cart a bit.
Then there are the shows. Harrogate (Spring and Autumn) shows are my greatest downfall – lovely specialist nurseries offering special deals. It's not so bad if I go there with a pal or long-suffering Gary – I have transport.
My finest hour was the Autumn show 2015 – I travelled down by taxi, two trains and a bus (each way). I couldn't resist an Abyssinian Red Banana from the Lost World Nursery – about 4ft tall with two leaves. There's a smashing photo of the banana enjoying a pint at Harrogate railway station on the way home. I have 'form' in idiot buying.
This section concentrates on plant families, or plants groups that perform the same function, such as evergreens or hardy climbers. I hope you find it a useful reference point for plants to grow in your garden – with a much firmer design ethic than me.

Livy Hinge thinks her biggest worries are...
the bully next door, the mysterious ingredients lurking in her mother's Everything Casserole, and the tricky dilemmas her overactive imagination lands her in. But even Livy has never envisioned trees slinging splinters big as swords at her. Or falling off a giant moth five-hundred feet in the air, commanding the elements to stand still, or battling a throng of birds. And she's certainly never been tasked with defeating an enemy bent on the destruction of her world. Until now.
When elfin warriors escort Livy to Broams Eld, she discovers a world where imagination is power, tadpole soup is what's for dinner, and trees whisper secret enchantments. There she finds not only friends, a welcome home for her dare-devil antics, and magic, but an astounding destiny to inherit—if she can survive her first night.

Climbing global demand has helped prop up crude prices. — Reuters picSINGAPORE, Sept 28 — Middle East Opec producers are concerned weak demand and excess supply in the first quarter of 2018 may undermine an oil price rally that has pushed Brent crude about 30 per cent higher since June, Opec and industry sources said.
Supply cuts since Jan. 1 by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and other producers helped lift prices, while Hurricane Harvey added to gains when it knocked out nearly a quarter of US refining capacity.
Benchmark Brent rose above US$59 (RM250) a barrel this week, its highest level in more than two years and nearing the US$60 mark. Gulf oil sources have said Opec's largest producer Saudi Arabia would like to achieve that level this year. Brent is now trading around US$58.
"I don't think it is sustainable," said one senior Gulf oil industry source, citing possible excess supply from U.S. shale oil producers in the first few months of 2018 on the back of higher prices now.
Opec and others have cut production by about 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd), but US shale producers have been filling the gap, with their output set to rise for a 10th month in a row in October.
Climbing global demand for crude have also helped prop up prices, as have tensions Opec member Iraq, where authorities in its semi-autonomous Kurdish region held an independence referendum despite opposition from Baghdad and Western powers.
"I think a range of US$50-$55 a barrel is good, you don't want to see prices rising to US$60 or higher because then it will bring in more shale," the source said.
Opec-led supply cuts are due to run to the end of March, but Opec and industry sources familiar with the matter said they expected cuts to be extended beyond that deadline.
"The cuts will be extended, but it is a matter of when to announce it. Will it be in November? Or better to wait a bit longer and announce it in January?" said a third industry source from a Middle East producer.
"The market is tightening, it moved to backwardation now, so you can see the effect of the cuts," the source said.

The SE postcode area, commonly known as the London SE postcode area, is in the LONDON post town, and, as its name suggests, covers an area of southeast London. The SE in the name stands for South Eastern and this collection of 30 postcode districts roughly lines up with the London Boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark and Greenwich. The London Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley and Lambeth are also covered, but only small parts of them. Despite serving southeast London, mail for this postcode area is sorted at a facility, the Croydon Mail Centre, on Beddington Farm Road in Croydon.
The SE postcode area was originally the SE postcode district, created in 1857. In 1868 it got a bit larger when the S district was dissolved into it and the SW district. The numbered postcode districts of today came about in 1917, and SE28 is at the eastern end of the postcode area. In fact, SE28 was created later than the other districts and was created out of the SE18 and SE2 districts for the Thamesmead development. There are also two non-geographic postcode districts - SE1P, which is located within SE1, and SE99.
SE28 was once called the Thamesmead district, but this name is no longer in use. Its coverage area is, of course Thamesmead and it lies within the local authority areas of Bexley and Greenwich. It is the highest numbered postcode district other than the non-geographic SE99. Only two other SE postcode districts border SE28, SE2 to the southeast and SE18 to the southwest. It is the nortnermost of the SE postcode area's districts. The northern boundary of the SE28 postcode district is the River Thames and it includes Birchmere Park, Crossway Park and the Thamesview Golf Centre. Just south of the district are two other green spaces: Abbey Wood Park and Southmere Park, and Lesnes Abbey Park and Wood are not far. This suburban part of London has quite a lot of open space, plus the added benefit of proximity to the river.
Parking on the day of the move is another hassle that can be avoided by reserving a space with the council. Check with Bexley or Greenwich, depending on your new location. In the preparations for your move, you have likely sought out the best estate agent, the best location for your new home in terms of schools or transport links, and the best prices, of course. So why no continue with the best in home removal services by hiring the best moving company around?. All it takes is a phone call!.
This moving company came highly recommended from a friend. After moving, it was easy to see why. The team assigned to my move to SE28 was friendly, fast, and hardworking. I would suggest them to anyone in need of house removal.

Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing Team ready for Supercross at Anaheim I
04.01.2019: Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing Team's Barcia And Plessinger Ready For Supercross Opener At Anaheim I The Monster Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing Team looks to start the New Year on a high note this Saturday, January 5, at the 2019 Monster Energy
Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing Team's Barcia And Plessinger Ready For Supercross Opener At Anaheim I
The Monster Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing Team looks to start the New Year on a high note this Saturday, January 5, at the 2019 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season opener at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, in Anaheim, California.
Spearheading the team's campaign in the 450SX class is Justin Barcia (#51) and Aaron Plessinger (#7) aboard factory-prepped Yamaha YZ450Fs. A reenergized Barcia returns for his second season with the factory squad and aims to get his first win since 2013. The two-time 250SX East champion got a hot start to the season last year, scoring three podiums in the first four races. Unfortunately, his season was interrupted with injury, but Barcia still managed to end the season top 10 in the point's standings in one of the most competitive and prestigious motorcycle racing championships in the world.
Making his debut with the factory team this weekend is 450SX rookie Aaron Plessinger. Fresh off of his landmark 250 class season on the Monster Energy/Star/ Yamaha Racing team, earning both the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX West Championship and AMA 250MX Championship, Plessinger hopes to carry that momentum forward into the premier class aboard his Yamaha YZ450F.
The much-anticipated Anaheim I season opener gets underway with practice starting at 3:00 p.m. ET. Live coverage begins on NBC Sports (NBCSN) Saturday at 10 P.M. ET and on NBC Sports Gold providing subscribers with Live Streaming coverage of all qualifiers and races without commercial interruption (Supercross Pass).

"Going into A1 it will be just trying to get up there with some top guys and race them as hard as I can to see where that puts me. I've only been on the bike about 3 weeks since I injured my back a while ago but I feel awesome on the bike right now and my fitness is not far off of what it needs to be so I should be right up in the mix!
The biggest challenge would probably be there are so many fast guys and past champions on the gate it's going to be really tough to get out front and go but my starts have been dialed and I think I can get with It and battle these guys the whole race".
Justin Barcia #51
"I'm very excited to be heading into A1 healthy and on the factory Yamaha team for my second year with them I'm feeling extremely fit and comfortable on my 450 it's definitely going to be an exciting year I feel after having a really good learning year in 2018 that I will be a title contender in 2019".

"They're coming after yours, and you can't stop them." The dying man laughed, his laughter changing to a cough as his damaged lungs filled with blood. Even so, he managed to rasp out one last threat. "It's personal now. Your family will be dead in six weeks."
Nick Donovan, a former Navy SEAL and Black Ops specialist, recently left the NCS, a component of the CIA, to join the Armored Extraction Guards and Investigative Security, AEGIS works under the radar of most governments and specializes in private security, risk management, and the recovery of people and assets from foreign countries. While performing his job, Nick was caught on the security camera of one site leaving the area and on the camera at another setting a listening device. His identity compromised, the cartel mistakenly thought he'd set the bombs which had exploded shortly after his departure from each of the scenes killing first the Drug Lord's sister and later his brother. Believing he had held a part in their deaths, Nick's family members were now the personal targets of one of Mexico's most ruthless and lethal drug cartels.
While Nick was successful in warning his brother and getting his family out of harms way, the cartel had managed to get their hands on a family friend, whom they'd mistakenly believed to be his sister-in-law. Jennifer had been asked to watch the house and feed the family pets. While not family, Jennifer and Nick had once been close and so while the cartel missed their target, they still managed to hit their mark, if only by accident. Since the kidnapping, the cartel has gained intel that drones were used in the bombings. If Nick can find who is responsible, the cartel says they'll release Jennifer, but for each day she's with them she'll suffer a fate most won't wish to live through.
Now Nick's in a race against time to find Jenny, get her out, and keep her safe. Jenny is the only woman he's ever loved. The only woman to ever truly understand him. This one's personal and Nick Donovan takes care of his own.
This book was a fast paced roller coaster of a ride with a lot of action, twists and turns. It held my attention and I didn't want to put it down until I finished. I loved the story line of a past love--the one that got away--accidentally being sucked into Nick's dangerous world. How despite the fact she broke his heart, he still goes in to rescue her.
Dr. Jennifer Grayson is a Southern Methodist University professor specializing in paleontology who is recently divorced. She's smart, brave, and when she finds herself in a bad situation, she immediately realizes revealing she's not Angela could get her into worse trouble than holding her tongue. She decides to try to figure out what's going on before doing anything she can't take back. But things quickly escalate from bad to worse as she finds herself in a Mexican brothel where she's told she'll need to pay for her stay.
Nick has never forgotten Jennifer and when he sees the picture of her bound, he almost immediately realizes who Vega has kidnapped. Having worked in the field for years, Nick calls on his contacts and within a relatively short period of time has a lock on her location. I loved the impatience he displayed and how he had a hard time hiding his emotions as he attempts to rescue Jenny and keep her from harm.
While Kay Thomas has all the potential of becoming one of my favorite authors and I enjoyed the story, I did have a couple of issues with it. First, Nick believes that while in captivity, Jennifer might have overheard something that put her life in danger. Instead of sitting down with her and questioning her about what transpired, like most government operatives would do, he never does. I found this very odd. Perhaps if he had communicated his concerns a little better, he'd have had better control over the situation, and she'd have realized just how much danger she was in. Still, I thought Jennifer should have realized how serious things were when things starting blowing up. I personally thought that was a pretty huge tip off, but I guess she let her emotions overrun her logic.
A second item I had issues with was Nick's reaction to finding out that years ago, after a summer romance, Jennifer had gotten pregnant with his child and had a miscarriage. I felt his reaction to this news was a bit extreme. While I could see him being upset with Jennifer for breaking up with him without officially doing so--she just broke off all communication with him--his being upset because she never told him about her pregnancy just irritated me to no end. Most women would not want a man to feel obligated to marry them because of a pregnancy, and Jennifer knew Nick well enough to know that's the type of man he was. I can understand how she would feel insecure and unsure of how to handle things. I seriously doubt that Nick ever inquired if she could be pregnant after he left and joined the Navy. Whenever two people are intimate, there is always the possibility of pregnancy and if a guy really cares for a woman, he should ask. I personally think this is something all mother's should instill in their sons. So while he had a right to know, I could see how she'd drag her feet on telling him. It would be an awkward subject to breech, especially from long distance over the phone or through a letter, so she put it off.
Anyone who's gone through a miscarriage knows how emotionally upsetting it is. Whether a pregnancy was planned for or not, its still has a profound effect on a person. Pair that with having a hysterectomy and you can just imagine the emotional trauma someone who wanted children would suffer. A miscarriage at five months is a very painful experience as is a hysterectomy, She probably wasn't in her right mind for some time after. If she had trouble telling him about the pregnancy, how could she be expected to bring up the subject of a miscarriage? I just felt he had very little grounds to be mad at her and rather should have been upset for not being there for her. At the very least he should have felt bad for not letting her know how he felt about her before he left. If she'd felt secure in their relationship, I'm sure she would have had no trouble telling him what was going on.
Overall, I gave this one 4 out of 5 roses. While I had some issues with the way certain things were handled, they didn't have a huge impact to the overall story. Every time I thought things were starting to settle down, another deadly situation would arise. There was plenty of action, mystery, and suspense combined with ongoing story lines which thread the fabric of the series together. You'll want to read all the books as each book builds upon the other to create what I believe will be a larger all encompassing story which will fit together like a puzzle containing bits and pieces of all the books at the end. On the Lisarenee Romance Rating Scale, this one earned a STEAM rating--too hot for a fan, but you still have a handle on things. You should use extreme caution when reading a book with this rating in public. People may inquire as to why you looked flustered and flushed.

Roosevelt was an early champion of racial and sexual equality, and her activities to promote equality were numerous and widespread. After her husband became paralyzed from the waist down she traveled across the country, helping to keep his political career alive. While he was president she worked with many groups attempting to improve the position of women, blacks, and the poor. She became the first president's wife to hold a press conference, eventually holding more than 300 as First Lady, and encouraged newspapers to hire women by restricting her press conferences to female reporters. While First Lady she began a daily newspaper column, "My Day" which she continued until her death. She also wrote several books, including her autobiography, "You Learn By Living" (1960).
Following her husband's death, she became a delegate to the United Nations, where she continued to work for civil and human rights throughout the world, becoming the world's most famous human rights advocate. She used her influence in 1948 to help convince President Truman to aid the newly created country of Israel.
Roosevelt was born in New York City into privileged circumstances; her uncle was President Theodore Roosevelt. Her mother died when she was eight years old, her father died two years later, and she was then raised by her maternal grandmother. A very shy teenager, she received encouragement from her headmistress at the boarding school she attended in England. She was 21 when she married her distant cousin, Franklin Roosevelt. They had six children, one of whom died of influenza as an infant. She offered her husband a divorce when she discovered that he was having an affair with her private secretary; he refused, but the discovery may have encouraged her to develop a separate career.

Every once and awhile I get the urge to decorate. Even if it's just small changes like new pillows or painting an accent wall, it makes me feel like I have a whole new place…..at least for awhile!
Lately I've been in the decorating mood so I decided to go through my inspiration folder and find some pics that would inspire me. I also read one of my previous posts on gypsy decor and found some good stuff. Funny how you can find ideas right on your own blog! If you are a blogger I'm sure you'll agree.
Ooh, these are all yummy! But I especially love the 3rd and 9th pics! Inspiration indeed!
Great pictures! Love the use of color in all the rooms!
i cant wait to get to our new place…so i can start with my bohemian episode….Love Love !

Zirbel. The other side of the story, the Hell side.
Home/Doping/Zirbel. The other side of the story, the Hell side.
We wrote about American rider Joe Papp a week or so ago. Busted from EPO, career over. Joe is also a thoughtful, classy and intelligent guy who knows pro cycling and the doping culture inside and out.
We asked him for comment on Tom Zirbel's positive A test for DHEA. Turns out he'd already written a long and informative article about the story — and every word is worth reading because you get both sides of the story.
We won't cut and past the whole piece but the one thing we took away from Joe Papp's perspective is what Zirbel is going through. Guilty or not, Tom Zirbel is suffering big time. Sometimes, it's worth stepping away from the axe grinder and Sunday school lecturing and realize that.
Joe put it this way: "If his B-sample comes back positive or he otherwise fails to clear his name, his world is going to implode, and it won't be pretty." Papp has plenty to say about Zibel's statements and arguments but he also knows first hand what that implosion feels like.
"I can empathize with what Zirbel might feel then, should the B-sample come back positive, as you all know that my own career ended when I was just 31 and was caught doping – which was devastating," wrote Papp.
"Worse, almost no one could understand that, even though I'd brought it on myself to a large degree by doping shamelessly for five years, the feeling of being ripped from the womb of cycling left me so disoriented and adrift that life temporarily lost all meaning and hope."
On the matter of Zirbel's guilt or innocence, Papp went on to offer a personal and compelling story. "By the same token, and in Tom's defense, the lab very well may have made an error. Just like I didn't knowingly ingest anything that could have left the metabolites 6α-OH-androstenedione or 6β-OH-androsterone, I had taken five other doping products that an accredited-lab failed to detect. I hope people consider both scenarios while we wait for the official disclosure."
Twisted Spoke was quick to pass judgement on Zirbel. Sometimes the doping story is so pervasive and never-ending that we get angry and spew invective. The sport is too beautiful for such constant abuse. It takes a rider like Papp to bring the full picture into focus. You can hate the crime and still feel for the man. Then again, maybe we're just feeling real Buddhist today.
One final word on the Zirbel affair from an expert authority on the subject, Joe Papp. Speaking of another athlete, he said, "I know for a fact that a rider was positive for EPO when he won a US National Criterium Championship – he took a full-strength, non-micro dose within the time frame during which he should have been positive," wrote Papp.
"In fact, his "A" sample WAS positive, but his "B" was declared negative because the EPO levels were interpreted to fall just below the cut-off for a definitive positive. So the labs can make mistakes. Guilty go free (only to be caught later). Some riders cheat. I hope most do not. But to be in Tom's shoes right now is to be in hell and I wish him and his family the best regardless of what the truth of the matter is."
Well and truly said.

Joe Papp December 28, 2009 at 7:09 pm	- Reply
Just wanted to thank Twisted Spoke for having me again. And I want to clarify something that might cause confusion. In the second-to-last paragraph, the paraphrasing might lead a reader to think I'm speaking of Zirbel as having won crit nats whilst using EPO. THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
The sentences beginning with "I know for a fact that a rider was positive for EPO when he won a US National Criterium Championship…" DO NOT REFER TO TOM ZIRBEL!


Sangria is one of my favourite summer drinks! It's easy, so yummy, refreshing, and great for serving a large group. When I make sangria I go to Trader Joe's and buy their $2.00 Charles Shaw Wine, I find that once you add all your mixins you really can't tell if your drinking good or cheap wine!
1. Green Apple + Lemon // This recipe is super fresh, and not too sweet. I recommend this one for a super hot afternoon on the patio. In a pitcher full of ice add one bottle of chilled white wine, 1-2 cans (to taste) of La Croix Sparkling Water in Peach Pear flavour, 2 sliced apples, and 1 lemon sliced into rounds. Stir well to get all the flavours mixed in.
2. Pineapple + Cantaloupe // A sweet & tropical tasting mix, very refreshing. In a pitcher full of ice add one bottle of chilled white wine, 1 can of Club Soda, Pineapple Juice to taste, a handful a both pineapple and cantaloupe cut into triangles. Stir well.
3. Orange + Lemon + Grapefruit // Fresh citrus flavour contrasts well with the red wine. In a pitcher full of ice add 1 bottle of red wine, 1 can of San Pellegrino Sparkling Pomplemo (grapefruit) Soda, 1/2-1 bottle (to taste) ginger beer, 1 lemon, 1 orange, and 1 grapefruit all sliced into rounds. Stir Well.
4. Orange + Strawberry // This one is berry good! ;) In a pitcher full of ice add one bottle of red wine, Raspberry Ginger Ale and Orange Juice to taste, 1 orange sliced into rounds, and 1-2 handfuls of sliced strawberries. Stir well, using to spoon to smash up some of those strawberries for extra flavour.


free forever cloud tool to manage and retrieve your passwords for online services you use for your website.
Manage and retrieve all your unique, high difficulty passwords for each of the online tools and services you employ for your website – all from a single window.
The importance of data security needs no introduction. Old school techniques of using common passwords, or storing different ones in unsafe spreadsheets can be extremely damaging in the present day.
Moreover, maintaining passwords offline is not advisable, as the details are not accessible and the go and are subject to being misplaced.
Rankedy's Password Manager is the savior! It's a lifetime free cloud based tool to securely store your password in encrypted format, and facilitate need based sharing with read receipts to ensure accountability.
Digitally managing and maintaining the online presence for any company or individual covers the use several services and SaaS products, right from the web and email hosting to domain management, social media handles, automation software and several other SaaS tools.
Each of these online accounts comes with password protection options, the integrity of which must be preserved. Typically, digital marketing managers resort to using the same password across accounts for convenience or maintain excel sheets as a repository of passwords. However, both of these are a suboptimal practice, and may lead to long lasting damaging consequences.
Using the same password everywhere imposes the risk of a hacker gaining access to all the confidential information by hacking into just one account.
On the other hand, maintaining spreadsheets or Google docs to store multiple passwords, introduces risks of information leakage to bots that monitor these spreadsheets when data mining.
The common solution to both lies in crafting high difficulty passwords, storing them in encrypted formats, and fetching them through the browser.
Rankedy's password vault addresses both these objectives efficiently, and works well on all operating systems and web browsers.
