Between 2nd to 9th of February, 2019, a group of vocational training teachers from Lithuania visited Leipzig in the framework of the Erasmus+ project "Peculiarities of Intercultural Dialogue". During their stay teachers visited several vocational training institutions in Leipzig, observed lectures and gain experience from German colleagues.
Project's main goal was to improve the qualification and abilities of training specialists to work in classes, which consist of different nationalities students, to fight against discrimination, sneering and ethnic conflicts. Lithuanian teachers were also introduced to Germany experience with integration of immigrants and refugees, especially their education process.
We train in the dual system!


Brief moral stories for children teach children life in the simplest and unique way. The best way to tell short stories in a short time, and if it has a moral, it's even better. Emphasized are some short moral stories for children. Let the students practice reading the lines with the literary devices aloud. Do you know, for the long lines at Starbucks every morning.
The reason why some children's novels, TV shows and films feature bestial characters is that they are probably intrigued by the sight of mammals. A number of writers have written fascinating stories about wildlife for youngsters such as Aesop's Fables, The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl, The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling and the Panchatantra, which have creatures that speak or behave like people.
Scientists have shown that the use of animal allows authors to tell a strong tale while at the same time keeping the emotive detachment (1). What is best, these stories about pets also come with a morale lesson! What do you think? Morale: The competition is winning slowly and steadily. Someday two geese try to pass a small and fragile viaduct across the canyon.
While they are fighting thoughtlessly, the brigde gives in and takes the two geese into the canyon. Morality: It is better to give in than to be stubborn. Morality: Incentive encourages people to act. Unhappily on the ranch, little dear ran to a near-by stream. Fearful and stranded, he wanted to be drowned in the canyon.
However, when he saw his mirror image in the stream, he realised that he was not an unattractive little duck, but a beauty! Morality: You are as pretty as you are. Morality: Do not forego a certain benefit for an unknown benefit. There will be a great dryness, and I am here to make sure I have it.
Foxes quickly jump onto goats and use their horn to get to the top so that goats stay in the well. Morality: Never rely on the counsel of a man in trouble. Morality: It's hard to disdain what you can't get your hand on. There is a small lake where a wild pig and a dandelion can be drunk.
Leo and wild pig then choose that it is best to reconcile and be pals than to struggle and become nourishment for beasts. They' re drinking the kettle together and then going their separate ways. Morality: Those who try are often observed by others to exploit their defeats. Morality: It is best to be prepared for need.
At the end of a party, two kittens see a slice of pie and begin to fight for it. They take a bit of one and then the other, but still find it uneven. Morality: If you fight, someone else benefits. Morality: Beautiful clothing may be hidden, but stupid words reveal a jester.
He asked the wind to eat the wind chill one night and chose to make a mischief. When the storks chose to give back their friendliness, they took the chestnut to supper and offered him a long neck, tight neck-glassed glass of sop. Morality: A poor turn of phrase merits another. Morality: It is simple to suggest impractical solutions.
Someone found a slice of flesh one of these days. When he left, he saw his mirror image in the aquarium and thought it was another little puppy with a slice of beef. He got eager and chose to have this one. Then he grabbed the mirror image and as soon as he opened his lips, his flesh dropped into the sea and disappear.
Morality: Be careful not to loose your body by reaching for the shade. There was a dandy lying sleeping in the forest when a little girl ran over him. He was furious that the girl was disturbing her sleeping and wanted to slay him. She pleaded with the lions to give them a reprieve and said she could help him one of these days.
Laughing at the thought, the Leo left. Shortly thereafter, the Leo was caught in a hunting net. And the little girl came by and saw the beast. He immediately ripped the net with his edged spikes and saved the beast. Morality: Little boyfriends can be good boyfriends.
Then, one morning, a crows was very thursty and found a jug with little in it. He couldn't get to the sea with his bill. He took in some rocks one by one and put them in the jug until the waters came. So, he cheerfully drunk the waters and fled.
Morality: A little after the other does the stunt. Morality: We often give our foes the means for our own devastation. Reaching the city, they go into a dinning room to enjoy jellies and pies, where they are driven out by two giant hounds and run for their life. Morality: Better to rest on your shoulders on your shoulders than on your knees on your knees.
He was a friend of a foolhardy villain who was living in the creek. Pair invites the apes to a meal and plans to devour their hearts. Crocodiles offer to take the apes on their backs so that they can traverse the stream to get home. "As soon as they get to the riverbank, the ape leaps from the crocodile's back and swears never to rely on him again.
Morality: Stay cool and use your present spirit to get out of unfavorable circumstances. They' re meeting a beast on their way. Wise man Fuchs pledges to the lions that he can have his arse for supper, but asks to spare his world. Once the arse is covered, the Leo leaps on the Chestnut, kills him for his flesh and ends up with both.
Morality: Betrayers must reckon with betrayal. Morality: Do not obey the counsel of the one who tries to lower you to his own plane. Morality: Appearance is deceiving. There is a chestnut that sees a cow that carries a slice of chees to the top of a forest. He decided to get the cheeses for himself. As it opens its mouths to chant, the cheeses fall to the floor.
He lifts the chestnut and walks away. Morality: Do not confide in the cajoler. Along the way she is telling all the other creatures that the skies are plunging and that she is spreading anxiety in the rain. Leo, the kingdom of the jungles, sees it all. Upon inspecting, the Leo finds out that it was only a walnut and the bunny was indeed stupid.
Morality: Be cautious who you believe, or you might be deceived. Morality: Be satisfied with your strength; you can't surpass everything. Educate your children about interesting and important things in their lives through these short stories about animals. They can tell these stories or just tell them from a story-reader.


Through printmaking, installation, and social practice interventions, artist Jacob Meders, a member of the Mechoopda-Indian Tribe of Chico Rancheria challenges ideas of indigenous assimilation and the cultural appropriation of Native American identity. In two distinct but related exhibitions, Mǝǝmento: Before curated by Meders from the Turner Print Archive and Collection and Aksum Belle: Afterwards, featuring new work by the artist at the Jacki Headley University Art Gallery, Meders creates a "call and response," where Native American representation is reconsidered through its past and a dynamic and changing present. This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Visit www.calhum.org for more information.
Mǝǝmento: Before, at the Turner Print Museum, is curated by the artist from the museum's collection and investigates the colonial/post-colonial mindset as it relates to Native American cultures and issues. This exhibition includes 34 works by Native American and non-native artists to offer a diversity of perspectives, visual image, and curatorial counterpoint. Meders will also intersperse his own work as contemporary commentary on the relationship between historic and current native issues.
Meders will give two public talks followed by receptions in the galleries lobby. He will discuss his art on Thursday, February 7 at 5:30 p.m. in Zingg Recital Hall and on Saturday, February 9 at 2 p.m. at The Turner he will discuss the process of curating from the Turner Print Collection.
Artist and printmaker Jacob Meders is assistant professor at Arizona State University. His work has been exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC; The Heard Museum in Phoenix, AZ; Mesa Contemporary Arts Center in Mesa, AZ; and the Museum of Contemporary Native Art, Santa Fe, NM, among others. He received his BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design and his MFA from Arizona State University.
The Turner is thrilled to announce that we received a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation for $100,000 to create a web-based digital catalogue of the Turner's permanent collection. This digitization project will powerfully expand the educational range and impact of the Turner's collection of over 4,000 fine-art prints by providing access to our significant collection and allow us to meet the demands of our mandate in the 21st century.
The Henry Luce Foundation seeks to enrich public discourse by promoting innovative scholarship, cultivating new leaders, and fostering international understanding. The Foundation's American Art Program, a leader in arts funding since 1982, supports museums, arts organizations, and universities, in their efforts to advance the understanding and experience of American and Native American visual arts through research, exhibitions, collection projects, and publications. They recognized the timeliness and significance of the Turner's proposal, written by Turner Curator Catherine Sullivan and Laura Nice, project director. This generous award will fund a two-year project led by Adria Davis, the Turner's Collection Manager who also has an MFA in photography.
Catherine Sullivan, the curator and head of archive at the Janet Turner Print Museum, was nominated for membership in the Print Council of America and has accepted. The Print Council of America is a professional organization of print specialists with approximately 270 members, comprised primarily of museum curators, university professors, conservators, and independent scholars with a strong commitment to the study of prints. It provides an important forum for print specialists to meet and discuss shared concerns, and is a leading group for education and advocacy for the print medium. Congratulations to Catherine on this prestigious and well-deserved honor!
The Janet Turner Print Museum is a program of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at CSU, Chico and we are pleased to announce that Professor Tracy Butts was selected to serve as interim dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts. Butts received her BA and MA from Virginia Tech, and her PhD in English from the University of Georgia. She has taught at CSU, Chico as a professor of English since 2001, and has previously served as chair of the Department of English, associate dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts, and chief diversity officer and director of the Center for Multicultural and Gender Studies at CSU, Chico. She was recognized with the Outstanding Faculty Service Award in 2015.


Kids are notoriously fussy eaters. Bon Appetit conducted a fun study where children sampled lunches from every decade from 1900s to today. As you can see in the video, some kids hated some foods and refused to eat them, while others absolutely loved them — there is no telling with kids! It is also very interesting to see what the lunch from each decade tells us about the times. The modest lunch from 1930s reflects the economic hardships of the time, while the abundant lunch of the 1950s hints at the booming economy. The meals also reveal the changing attitudes towards health and fitness in each age. The meals from the mid to late 20th century pay scant regard to controlling the amount of sugar or processed ingredients, while meals from the 21st century eliminate all soda and crisps.

The Battle of Mollerussa (or Mollerusa) took place in the south of the county of Urgell on 11 or 14 September 1102. In the battle, Count Ermengol V was defeated and killed by an Almoravid army. Mollerussa lies halfway between Bellpuig and Lleida and is the largest town in the Pla d'Urgell.

Background
The Almoravids, a Moroccan Islamic sect, had first invaded the Iberian peninsula in 1086, where they scored a victory over Castile at the Battle of Sagrajas. They only began the systematic conquest of Iberian taifas, small independent Muslim states, in 1090. The Hudid taifa of Lleida, the nearest to Urgell, paid tribute (parias) to Ermengol V. Nonetheless, the Muslim city of Balaguer, nearest to Urgell, was captured and briefly held by Viscount Guerau Ponç II de Cabrera in 1100 or 1101, before falling to the Almoravids.

Battle
The brief but most detailed account of the battle is found in the Deeds of the Counts of Barcelona, the original version of which was written in the mid-12th century by an anonymous monk of Santa Maria de Ripoll, with later redactions and a Catalan translation appearing in the 14th century:
Ermengol of Mollerussa [was] so called because it was in a place called Mollerussa with the three hundred knights, it is said, and a number of other Christians that he was killed by the Almoravids, under Count Ramon Berenguer the third, in the year of Christ 1102.
Some scholars have taken this to imply that Count Ramon Berenguer III of Barcelona (ruled 1086–1131) was involved in the defeat. Two other Catalan annals from the 12th century attest to Ermengol's death at Mollerussa, without providing any other information. The Chronicon Rivipullense II, from Santa Maria de Ripoll, notes that "many died with him". The Chronicon Rotense II, written at the cathedral of Roda de Isábena, is in fact the earliest source, but provides no more than that in 1102 Ermengol died at Mollerussa. The Tunisian historian Ibn al-Kardabūs, in a passage immediately following on the Almoravid conquest of Valencia (May 1102), states that Mazdalī, acting wālī of Valencia, launched an incursion into "Barcelona". This might be the invasion that ended in the battle of Mollerussa, since the next known incursion into Catalonia took place in 1108.

Owing to the diverse and inconsistent spellings for "Mollerussa" in the medieval sources, scholars in the past have proposed that the battle at which Ermengol V was killed took place in Mayorga in the Kingdom of León or on the Muslim-controlled island of Mallorca, both far from Urgell. Recent scholarship has settled on the correctness of Mollerussa. This was proposed as early as the 18th century by Domingo de Costa y Bofarull, Memorias de la ciudad de Solsona y su Iglesia (finally published in 1959), who noted that Ermengol was interred in the cathedral of Solsona and that he had not had time to make a will, suggesting that it was not a planned expedition far from home.

The necrology of the cathedral of Solsona dates the battle to 14 September: "The eighteenth kalends of October: this day did the pagans kill the most noble Count Ermengol, who many times served God and the Blessed Mary and her clergy."

Aftermath
The death of Ermengol V, following quickly on that of his wife, María Pérez in April, left his successor, Ermengol VI, a child of no more than eight years, under the guardianship of his maternal grandparents, the Castilian count Pedro Ansúrez and his wife, Elo Alfonso. In 1105, Pedro definitively re-captured Balaguer. In 1110, the citizens of Lleida threw out their ruler and invited in the Almoravids, who thus took over most of the taifa without a battle.

Carers NT are reaching out to the Territory community to show their support for carers and visit one of the many events held during National Carers Week, 15 – 21 October.
Chief Executive Officer Steve Vitone explained that carers make an enormous contribution to our communities as well as to our national economy.
"If all carers decided to stop performing their caring role, it would cost the country $60.3 billion per year to replace those supports – that equates to $1 billion per week or 3.8% of Gross Domestic Product," he said.
The Carer Friendly Business Awards and celebration of 25 years of service to carers in the Northern Territory at Parliament House on Monday 16 October. These Awards recognise outstanding service by a business or individual who has made a positive impact to someone in their caring role.
"We are extremely grateful for the support and recognition of this activity from right across the Territory," said Mr Vitone.

Solage (* Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts; † wahrscheinlich nach 1403) war ein französischer Komponist. Seine Werke sind ausschließlich im Codex Chantilly überliefert, der wichtigsten Quelle für Musik der jüngeren Ars nova, welche man später mit dem Begriff Ars subtilior versah.

Leben

Über sein Leben ist nichts bekannt, was nicht aus den Texten zu seiner Musik selbst abgeleitet werden kann. Widmungen in seinen Liedern zeigen, dass er vermutlich mit dem französischen Königshof verbunden war.

Musik

Stilistisch ist Vieles seiner Musik typisch für die letzten beiden Jahrzehnte des vierzehnten Jahrhunderts, ragt aber in Einigem über das Übliche hinaus. Dadurch am bekanntesten ist das sehr bemerkenswerte Chanson Fumeux fume par fumee, in einem Harmoniesatz, dessen Kühnheit erst in der Hochrenaissance als Chromatischer Satz wieder erreicht wurde. Solage gehörte offenbar einer Gruppe an, die sich Les fumeux nannte. Da Tabak in Europa noch nicht bekannt und der Begriff des Rauchers im heutigen Sinne noch nicht gebräuchlich war, kann der Name entweder auf die Verwendung eines anderen Rauches (am wahrscheinlichsten Weihrauch) hindeuten, aber auch rein symbolische Bedeutung gehabt haben.

Nur zehn Werke sind sicher von Solage, aber zwei weitere werden ihm aus stilistischen Gründen zugeschrieben. Alle zwölf sind im Codex Chantilly enthalten:

 Fumeux fume par fumée
 Hélas, je voy mon cuer
 Corps Feminin
 En l'amoureux vergier
 Joieux de cuer
 Le basile
 Pluseurs gens
 Calextone, qui fut dame
 Tres gentil cuer
 S'aincy estoit
unsicher:
 Adieu vous di
 Le mont Aôn de Trace

Alle Werke von Solage wurden von den Gothic Voices aufgenommen.

Looking at various web page designs, I stumbed upon a site with a listing of MacGyver Episodes.
For those who don't know, MacGyver was a long running and popular television series in the US that is now in syndication around the world about a spy – detective – cia – fbi – something – like – that guy who is sent out to save the world, and a few people while he's at it, from the evils out there. Now, this is no different from any of the million other television plots out there. What makes MacGyver different is that he is some kind of genius who can make anything out of anything and make it work, and save the world while he is at it.
Sure, you can take two sticks and rub them together to start a fire, but it will take you a few months of rubbing to get anything happening. MacGyver travels all over the world doing his rescue business and uses whatever is at hand to do more than just start a fire with a couple of sticks.
I've only seen a few episodes and enjoyed them, and I'm a serious fan of Stargate, the next major series that MacGyver's star, Richard Dean Anderson, went into, so I thought I'd check out this episode listing.
I about fell off my chair.
Condensed down to a sentence or two, each plot is a work of art when it comes to surreal and hysterically funny stuff.
MacGyver fights for his life against an army of ants in the sweltering jungles of South America with the following homemade tools: created an arc welder out of jumper cables, a generator and two half-dollars; made a flame thrower out of a hose, metal pipe and gasoline; and built an ant-repellent suit out of a melted garden hose spread on across a net.
When I think of all the quickie solutions I've had to come up with to solve a problem while I've been traveling….I've led a sheltered life. Why didn't I think of melting a garden hose and spreading it across a net to protect myself and the trailer from a massive invasion of ants in Florida? And when our generator had its problems, why didn't I look for some coins? Come on, Lorelle, you are seriously slacking in your travel abilities.
Anyway, if you want a giggle, read through some of these condensed verisons of the episodes and have a good laugh trying to figure out how in the hell he diffuses a bomb on a ship by having a robot open a refrigerator to grab eggs and turning a cargo net into a rappel line.
It is worth the giggles.

"Penguin One, Us Zero" is the second episode of Season 1, and overall the second produced hour of The Leftovers. It originally aired on July 6, 2014.
In the wake of a series of disturbing encounters, Kevin pays a visit to a therapist. Tom finds himself in a precarious situation with Christine, a favorite of Wayne's. A frustrated Meg is asked to part with pieces of her past. Jill and Aimee tail Nora Durst, who became a local celebrity when her entire family disappeared in the Departure.
Christine is held at gunpoint.
After deducing that Wayne Gilchrest is a national threat due to his involvement with US congressmen, a unit of ATFEC agents raid his farm in Nevada, killing guards and arresting his groupies. Christine attempts to flee, but is caught and held at gunpoint, with the agent threatening to shoot her if she does not reveal where Wayne is. Tom shoots the agent dead, and hides with Christine underground.
Wayne says goodbye to Christine and Tom.
The following day, Tom and Christine arrive at a kitchen where they find some of Wayne's followers, dead. Wayne arrives shortly afterwards, and acknowledges Tom's internal anguish following his murder of the ATFEC agent. Wayne suggests to hug the "poison" out of Tom, who refuses, leaving Wayne puzzled and visibly upset. Later that night, Wayne reveals that he must disappear, and leaves Christine under Tom's protection, warning him that she is "everything." He gives Tom a new cellphone, and warns them to never use their ID's. Back in his car, Tom has a mental breakdown when the car dies on them, while Christine promises him that it will be okay, according to Wayne.
In a dream, Kevin is woken up by Aimee in his bed, who leads him outside to a forrest, where the dog-shooter is observing Laurie. As she starts running, Dean shoots, and warns Kevin of a fire that is burning his feet. Kevin wakes up to the sound of fire, and discovers his erratic neighbour burned his Departed brother's belonging along with his fence. Later that day, Kevin is in a session with Anthony, his therapist, who questions him about his mental state, Laurie, and the "Mystery Man" that supposedly shot the dogs along with Kevin. It appears that Dean left before people arrived at the scene. During the meeting, Kevin notices an inflatable penguin, which Anthony explains is for kids who need to use it for aggression. Afterwards, Kevin questions his deputy, Dennis, regarding the search for the Mystery Man's pick-up truck. However, since they do not have a sketch of the man or a name, finding the truck is harder than usual.
Jill and Aimee walk towards a coffee shop, passing by Matt Jamison who hands them a new page from his tabloid publishing, proving that the Departed were not good people. At the coffee shop, the two see Nora Durst, the woman who lost her husband and two children during The Sudden Departure. They notice she has a gun in her purse, and are amused to see her pushing her coffee cup off the table to avoid paying for it, knowing the barista would recognize her and let it go. They decide to skip school and follow her, with Aimee taking Scott and Adam Frost's car, along with them, on the stakeout. As Nora walks out the coffee shop, she comes across Matt, and the two hug.
At the Guilty Remnant Pledge House, where the newest recruits adjust to their news lives, Laurie takes Meg to a nearby forest, where she instructs her to chop down a thick tree with an unsharpened axe. Meg, frustrated, gives up and returns to the Pledge House. She is soon visited by Kevin and Dennis, who respond to a Missing Person report filed by Meg's ex-fiancé, Darren. Kevin questions Meg, who assures him that she is with the G.R. on her own will, and does not need his help. However, she keeps his card. While there, Kevin also reports to another new recruit, Ron Jensen, that his family is looking for him.
Scott Glenn as Kevin Garvey, Sr.
Dreams: Kevin dreams about Aimee waking him up to hunt G.R. members with Dean.
Lucy references another (former) HBO show, The Wire. She apparently told Kevin to watch it, and mocks his bulletin board setup as resembling that on the show.
CDs in Nora's car include Let England Shake by PJ Harvey, Electro-Shock Blues by Eels, Sometimes Magic Sounds a Lot Like Tape by the Tattle Tales, The Very Best of the Eagles, and The Chipmunks Greatest Hits (although the back of the Chipmunks CD says "Smokey Robinson & the Miracles").
Darren's last name, Finnerty, might be a reference to Tony Soprano's coma-dream personality Kevin Finnerty in the early sixth season of HBO series The Sopranos (a storyline which Damon Lindelof has said informed the later "International Assassin" episode).
Kevin Senior is watching Perfect Strangers season 3 episode 16, "Just Desserts" (1988).
The term "Moonie," which the townspeople use to refer to the Guilty Remnant, is a pejorative term used to refer to members of the Unification Church.
The G.R.'s obsession with painting things white is an invention of the show.
Kevin's cell phone number is (645) 555-0197.
The Mapleton Police Department is located at 2911 Main Street.
The disappearing bagel phenomenon apparently happened to writer/executive producer Damon Lindelof while working on the story for this episode.
The TV heard in Kevin's house before Dean shows up is playing a report about butterfly populations rebounding.
Wayne's last name Gilchrest comes from the novel, as does the "Holy Wayne" moniker. His middle name, Henry, is his departed son's name in the book. As with Kevin, the show adds a "junior" to the end of Wayne's name, although this was not specified in the book.
Wayne's backstory is similar to that given in the third chapter of the book, "Special Someone," including losing his son in the Departure, discovering his alleged power to hug the pain out of people, and his focus on college campuses and youths in his movement. In the book, Wayne is not in hiding; he was arrested in a Philadelphia motel with a fifteen-year-old, but she claims they were "just talking" and the charges are dropped, although the public backlash and embarrassment causes Wayne to move to a remote Oregon ranch. The show modifies this to have him go underground on his Nevada ranch to avoid "eight counts of statutory" in Pennsylvania.
Although the book mentions an "early-morning raid" on Wayne's ranch by the FBI and Oregon State Police (after one of his teenage "brides," Anna Ford, runs away and goes public), it appears to have been much less dramatic than the raid on the show. In the book, Wayne is unceremoniously arrested and dragged to court in his pajamas. Wayne going on the run is an invention of the show. Likewise, in the book, Wayne sends Christine to Tom's San Francisco residence two days before the raid. Tom is not present on the ranch for the raid, and never kills anyone in the book.
Wayne "selling his hugs to senators" is an invention of the show.
The book, like the show, never depicts what the moment of a person's Departure actually looked like. The stylized main title sequence shows people floating up toward the sky, a typical visualization of the Rapture in Christian mythology, a concept which a pre-Departure Laurie mocks in the book's Prologue. The sequence also calls to mind Mapleton's Monument to the Departed from the book (depicted in the Pilot), which shows a baby floating up from its mother's arms.
Kevin's dream of Aimee coming into his bedroom is the show's first reference to Kevin's attraction to Aimee, a recurring source of internal conflict in the book. In the time between the Pilot and this episode, Aimee appears to have fully moved in with the Garveys, as she has by the beginning of the book (in the book, her mother departed and her stepfather makes inappropriate comments toward her when drunk).
The "pledge house" is somewhat similar to Blue House in the book, a house for female Trainees and their Trainers, with somewhat more comfortable accommodations than the other dorms. The show's G.R. seems much more co-ed than in the book, with both men and women staying in the pledge house. In contrast to the book, Laurie does not appear to live in the pledge house with Meg during Meg's training period. By the time Meg is introduced in the book, she is not permitted to speak, except for a brief period before bed called the Unburdening when Trainee and Trainer are allowed to converse in order to ease the Trainee's transition. The show's idea that new members are permitted to speak for several weeks after joining does not come from the book.
The ax-cutting ritual is an invention of the show, as is forcing Meg to give up a possession each night (in the book, new G.R. members bring a "memory book" containing photos and memorabilia from their old life, although it not clear if they are permitted to keep these once becoming full-fledged members).
The early portion of Jill and Aimee's storyline loosely adapts the second book chapter, "A Whole Class of Jills," including Aimee trying to get Jill to play hooky when Jill has a test and the two stopping into a coffee shop (in the book, it is Dunkin' Donuts). However, the show diverges from the book when they encounter Nora. In the chapter, the Frost brothers try to pick the girls up and Aimee goes with them, with Jill choosing to go to school late even though she has missed her test. The show loosely adapts this into the girls hijacking the Frosts' Prius.
Nora being close with Matt Jamison comes from the book, although it will be revealed in the next episode that the circumstances of their relationship are very different on the show from the book.
Meg asking for a cigarette is a departure from the book's character, who hates cigarettes, with Laurie having to force them into her mouth at first.
Kevin executing a search warrant at the G.R. compound calls to mind the botched search warrant execution in the book, when the police were looking for two little girls their "embittered, noncustodial" father claimed had been abducted, which led to G.R. members throwing rocks and bottles, and cops responding by fatally shooting G.R. member Phil Crowther. Following this, Kevin as mayor brokers a truce, with the police only accessing the G.R. complex for emergency situations. In the book, following Crowther's "martyrdom" (which seemingly did not happen in the show), the G.R. refuses to even let the police in for a murder investigation, and Kevin convinces the investigators not to use subpoenas or search warrants due to his priority on keeping tensions down, in contrast to the show where they seem to regularly check in looking for missing persons.
Meg's last name, Abbott, is different from the book, where her last name is Lomax. In the book, Laurie has a former close friend named Miranda Abbott, who is mentioned during Meg's first appearance in the book near the beginning of the chapter "Vow of Silence," as Laurie and Meg review folders about various Mapleton residents.
The email Laurie is sending to someone named Sylvia calls to mind the outreach done in the book by Jill's former fourth grade teacher Holly Maffey, who initiates an IM conversation with Jill to try to recruit her to the G.R.
In the book, the Frosts graduated the prior year but still hang out around the high school. In the show, they are still attending school (with Scott complaining that they are missing first period).
The federal government providing a departure benefit is a detail from the book (called a "survivor's benefit" in the book, it is said that the government stepped in after insurance companies ruled the Departure an "Act of God"). Nora receives such a benefit, which is supporting her in the book, and she is currently not working. Nora's job with the DSD is an invention of the show.
In the book, Nora develops a fixation with her departed son Jeremy's favorite show SpongeBob Squarepants, watching episodes twice a day and writing journal entries about them. Similarly, in the show, she appears to listen to an album by the children's cartoon group the Chipmunks in the car.
Darren says he postponed his wedding for three years for Meg. In the book, Meg and her fiancé Gary postpone their wedding after the Departure, primarily because Meg does not feel right getting married without her departed mother present.
Darren's tirade is reminiscent of Gary's reaction when Meg and Laurie come to his house on Christmas Day in the book.
Wayne's implied bisexuality is an invention of the show, as is Tom refusing to let Wayne take his pain. In the book, Wayne hugged Tom when Tom first attended one of Wayne's lectures, and the experience was a large part of the reason Tom became a devoted follower.
Wayne having told Christine everything is going to be okay is a detail from the book.
The character of Kevin Senior is an invention of the show. In the book, both of Kevin's parents are deceased, and Kevin is said to have inherited a chain of liquor megastores. In the book, Kevin lives in a house he bought after selling the business, whereas in the show he lives in his father's old house.
A May 2014 calendar is visible next to Kevin when he talks to Darren, clearly incompatible with the winter weather.


One of the reasons we eat so much chicken is because of my irrational fear of having my kitchen smell like fish. Luckily, one of my brilliant college roommates taught me a genius way to cook salmon without the smell (really one one of the only useful things I learned sophomore year), and since then I have been a complete devotée of this method, especially when the weather is too cold to use the grill outside.
All you do is season individual salmon fillets with lemon juice, the fresh herbs of your choice (any combo of dill, parsley, chervil tarragon and basil would be delicious) salt and pepper (an an optional pat of butter) and then wrap them in pieces of parchment paper and aluminum foil, forming fish "packets". I always place them on rimmed sheet (just in case they spring a leak or something). They only take about 10-15 minutes to cook in a 400 degree oven, and the foil and parchment contain the scent and the moisture, resulting in stink-free, flaky, steamed fish. Unwrapping the packets always reminds me of eating fish steamed in banana leaf on tropical vacations. I usually serve the fish with rice (you could continue the tropical theme with white rice with diced red onion and cilantro) and some fresh veggies, which turns out to be a meal that is light and healthy, quick to make, a snap to clean-up, and decidedly un-smelly.
Have you any helpful tips for steaming Dim Sum in the Kenmore Dishwasher ,when the stove in a modest dwelling is completely occupied and arriving guests with a baby sitter problem have introduced a dinner timing glitch?
i missed this lesson sophomore year and didn't learn til after college : )! I like to cook my fish packets with a can of crushed or stewed tomatoes (especially good with white fish) which makes them instantly delicious AND keeps the fish from being dry.


Offering rewards or challenges in exchange for employees doing certain behaviors is a common feature of employee wellbeing platforms, e.g. giving a gift card to any employee who participates in a biometric screening. These tactics can be a great way to inspire employees to take part in healthy behaviors like walking, running, or drinking water instead of soda, and they can of course improve the employee experience and bring employees together. They won't, however, help you support long-term behavior change or build a sustained culture of wellbeing. That may sound counterintuitive, so let's explore this.
The first thing to consider is that social challenges and competitions are rooted in extrinsic types of motivation, rather than personal or intrinsic types of motivation. The Self-Determination model of motivation or SDT, is the single most researched and cited model for motivation in the social sciences and public health, and it breaks down motivation into six distinct types and shows how each relates to the likelihood of sustained behavior change. Check out the chart below.
As you can see, competitions fall within the third type of motivation, "introjected regulation," which means that employees are basically doing the behavior primarily because of a social goal—to beat other people, or simply for the approval of being part of the group.
The problem with this type of motivation isn't its ability to be a hook to get employees involved in a wellbeing behavior—it does—it's that it doesn't naturally lead to the more effective 4th, 5th, and 6th types of motivation which are more personal and lasting. On the right side of the spectrum employees care about the changed behavior themselves because they associate it with their identity, and it becomes an intrinsic motivator, which means they do it because it feels good to do it, not because someone is giving them something for doing it.
When a person starts walking 10,000 steps or eating healthy to lose weight as part of a very public challenge or competition, and they notice they aren't part of the top 10% or 20%, they often end up judging themselves for not being "as good as" others in the program, or they try to "game the system," completely forgetting the original goal of improving health. So, either they "fail" or don't join the program to begin with. Where does that leave you? Your healthiest or most social 10% to 20% of employees stick with the program, while the rest drop out or never join in the first place.
Second, even for those that stick with the challenge or competition for the entire time, research shows that the likelihood employees will stay with those behaviors that were part of the program after it's over is quite low, for one simple but powerful reason—the challenge or competition was an artificially created reality—and it, too, is over. Most employees go back to their default setting, because the program was never about weaving a new behavior into their personal lives for years to come, it was about who could play the game the best, or win within the given conditions you set up. Once the challenge ends, so does the motivation for doing that behavior.
The best thing you can do is to develop personalized, authentic, intrinsically focused programs that support employees in building healthy habits that will stick with them for life. Give employees the tools and room to change their behavior for reasons they choose. The ideal program is one where an employee chooses a single habit to focus on, and they are obsessively working toward fitting it into their complex lives.

Beyond the Horizon: Conflicts Grievances have to be Addressed in a Holistic Manner
Posted By: Moaz Awad 0 Comment BEYOND THE HORIZON:

Conflicts grievances
Greed and grievances have pin pointed as the major causes of peaceful and violent conflicts in many academic research based on solid evidence. One of these important studies (Greed and Grievance in Civil War 2002) was authored by Paul Collier of World Bank and Anke Hoeffler Centre from the Study of African Economies, and published by the World Bank. It may be useful to review some of the major points and findings in this study and compare it with the Sudanese case to assist in designing the sustainable peace solutions in the coming transitional period which hopefully will start next Sept.2019.
It investigates the causes of civil war, using a new data set of wars during 1960-99. We test a `greed' theory focusing on the ability to finance rebellion, against a `grievance' theory focusing on ethnic and religious divisions, political repression and inequality. The study found that greed considerably outperforms grievance. Consistent with the greed theory, both dependence upon primary commodity exports and a large diaspora substantially increase the risk of conflict. Inconsistent with the grievance theory, greater ethnic and religious diversity reduce the risk of conflict.
According to popular perceptions grievances are often seen as the main causes of rebellion. However, those factors which determine the financial and military viability of a rebellion are more important than objective grounds for grievance. In order to create and maintain a rebel organization the rebels have to be paid and military equipment has to be purchased.
In war, both finance and geography may be less important than cohesion. The government army has two advantages over a rebellion. It can spend many years building a sense of unity, whereas if a rebel force fails to achieve unity quickly it will presumably perish. Additionally, the government can use the powerful rhetoric of nationalism: with this imagined identity already occupied, a rebellion needs an alternative. The need for rapid cohesion constrains recruitment: rebellion cannot afford diversity. There is now evidence that ethnic and religious diversity within various types of organization tends to reduce the ability to cooperate. A rebellion needs cooperative behavior and so it will tend to recruit only within a single ethnic/religious group.
There is a very large difference in the extent of democracy between conflict societies and peaceful societies: on average, conflicts episodes are preceded by a democracy score less than half that which precedes peace episodes. However, even democracies may exclude if a minority is systematically victimized. One circumstance in which a stable winning coalition can form is if one ethnic group constitutes a majority. The incentive to exploit the minority diminishes the smaller is the minority, since there is less potential for exploitation. Hence, the most likely range for ethnic exclusion is if the largest ethnic group constitutes a majority, but not an overwhelming majority, of the population.
SCP Puzzles
The SCP (Sudanese Congress Party) last positions on some very vital issues have been very confusing to the public and opened the gates wide for speculations and the conspiracy theory which was not needed at all in this very sensitive period.
The first one was the contradicting statements on the nomination of the SCP president to the post of the Transitional Period prime minister. The media reported last Tuesday 6 Aug. statements to a leading figure in the SCP affirming the nomination on the bases of competence and political affiliation. Yesterday 7 Aug. there was another statement denying that the party president will be nominated to the post of prime minister. This has led some to conclude that the SCP and some other forces have another aim and that is mix the cards and open the door for a compromise on the coming prime minister and this eliminating the nomination of the most agreed upon personality for the post. They also pointed that the NUP (National Umma Party) Leader Imam Sadiq Al Mahdi is behind the curtain part of this maneuver.
The second SCP puzzling position was on the return to the country of the ex-Chief of the NISS (ex-National Intelligence and Security Service) General Gosh and appointed as a member in the coming Supremacy Council as a result of the pressure exerted by the USA. The party said Sudan will not submit to any such pressure that infringes on the country sovereignty. But the party kept silent on the issue of if the ex-NISS Chief will be held accountable for any atrocities committed during his tenor in the NISS. On the other hand other leaders in the FCF (Freedom and Change Forces) have affirmed that if Gen, Gosh return to the country he will be held accountable before the law for human rights violations. So, the position of the FCF on this issue is another puzzle.
This in our opinion this is not the correct way to practice politics in this sensitive and historical transformative period. The situation require clarity, transparency and consistency in political position and always taking into consideration that the December, 2018 Revolution youth are not the elite that have led the October, 1964 Revolution or the April, 1985 Uprising. They are the ICT (Information Communication Technology) generation and who have been able to mobilize the whole country against the ousted Al Bashir authoritarian regime and not the political parties who later came running to join the revolution train. Before that these traditional parties were calling for compromise and a piece of the power and wealth cake and not confrontation with the ousted regime under the much promoted slogan by the NUP president Imam Sadiq Al Mahdi under the banners of the "Soft Landing". But the December youth turned the banner to Crush Landing.
Street Elite
One of the ousted regime writers wrote recently calling upon the FCF leadership not abide to the pressure of the streets because of not being as competent as the elite who should lead the streets and not be led by the streets. This poisoned advice off course aim to delink the FCF leadership from its main source of power, the streets. The power we say is in the streets and the leadership should obey their demands and formulate them into policies and programs. So, the leader and the teachers are the ordinary people who protested for six months in the streets and not the elite what so ever their contribution in the revolution may have been. Those who died in the protests are the ordinary people who these authoritarian regime writer calls to not abide to their demands.
Revolutionary Rhetoric
The Revolutionary Front leaders it seems have lost their balance after the failure to grantee for themselves some seats in the Transitional period governance structure. Since the signing of the Constitutional Document 4 August, 2019 has issued a follow of statements condemning the agreement between the TMC (Transitional Military Council) and the FCF (Freedom and Change Forces). They accusations included selling the December, 2918 Revolution, a political power sharing agreement, selling peace for power, etc.
This is quite amazing because peace and the end of the war have been at the top of the FCF agenda from the start of the revolution in December, 2018. The problem with the Revolutionary Front is that they want to deal with the present situation as they used with the ousted regime, a temporary peace for a share in power and wealth but the time for this game is over. On the contrary the stand of the SPLM-North Malik Agar was the real revisionary position who firmly stated that he will only negotiate with the civilian government after it was formed.
Gum Arabic Corruption
The media reported recently on the mass corruption in the Gum Arabic Company which was not a surprise to those who used to follow the development in this important sector for the Sudanese economy. But what must be stressed upon is that the corruption in this sector included many others working in this field outside the domain of the Gum Arabic Company. So, there is a need for a thorough investigation on the whole sector from the production stage to the export stage and all should hold accountable who have participated in the degradation of this important sector.

Hezbollah Thursday issued a statement in which it denounced the "continuous US-Saudi brutal massacres committed against the civilians in Yemen", considering that they reveal the extent of the failure the aggression launched by the coalition.
Hezbollah finally offered sincere condolences to the Yemeni leadership and people as well as the families of the martyrs and injured, hoping that they have an imminent victory.
Dozens of Yemenis were martyred or injured on Thursday, with the majority of the victims are children, in a Saudi air strike on Saada's Dahian town.
Yemen has been since March 2015 under a brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition, in a bid to restore power to fugitive former president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.


Adaptive management is the process of regularly adapting policy responses in view of new knowledge and experience. Policy measures can, in some cases, stimulate adaptive responses to climate change risks and strengthen overall resilience.
Key elements to strengthen adaptive management include: (1) polycentricity of governance structures, (2) functional networks and cooperation, (3) access to information and elicitation, and (4) opportunities for learning.
The regionalised arrangements observed with regards to regulatory-organisational agricultural policy structures are shown to be effective first steps towards effective agricultural adaptation, but sometimes measures are still implemented in way that they do not reach farmers.
Adaptive management refers to the process of continuously re-evaluating and assessing management in light of new information and experience. It is a central concept in climate change adaptation as it provides a structured approach to promote learning, co-decision making and flexible approaches in light of high uncertainties. Adaptive management can lead to better responses to climate change impacts and build resilience in society.
Adaptive management can be strengthened through policy action and appropriate governance. Key dimensions include: (1) polycentricity of governance structures, (2) functional networks and cooperation, (3) access to information and elicitation, and (4) opportunities for learning.
This Insight presents briefly these four dimensions and an application to land use management in the East Midlands (UK) to illustrate how they can be used to evaluate the capacity of existing institutional arrangements to promote adaptive management.
Polycentricity refers to the diversity of agents and interactions which contribute to a network structure with various nodes that signify authority and leadership. For cooperation to be successfully realised across different but interconnected networks, the role of leaders needs to be clear, in order to deal with power issues and potential conflicts. The people involved in such collaborative efforts need be able to communicate a common vision. In this case, agricultural adaptation to climate change is thought of as the common goal. Both the relative risk perception and the individual's perceived capacity to adapt play a role with regard to adaptation activities (Grothmann & Patt 2005). Farmers need information on climate risks, the risk probability as well as the costs of such an event in order to assess their individual need to adapt. Access to information is the first step in the individual process of capacity building with regard to adaptation. Elicitation refers to the process of providing occasions and incentives for stakeholders to provide information such as interviews, questionnaires or agenda points with lead questions (Newig et al. 2013). Establishing a context for knowledge sharing is paramount when aiming for successively building up adaptation to climate change at the regional and local level. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure sufficient resources to institutionalise learning and set incentives that enable people to network and create communities of practice.
The main European policy for rural land use management - the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) - has started to encourage adaptation to climate change by encouraging mainstreaming of adaptation in the financing of rural development programme (the so-called 2nd pillar of the CAP). However, it is unclear how far institutional arrangements of the 2nd pillar of the CAP promote adaptive management. The analysis below presents an assessment of how far governance arrangements of rural development programming in the East Midlands promote adaptive management.
A Regional Implementation Programme (RIP), effective from 2007 to 2013, has been set-up to deliver the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE). The Regional Programme Management Group (PMG) governs the RIP and is accompanied by meetings of a Regional Consultative Group (RCG) (Ibid.).
Decisions on agricultural planning in the East Midlands have been impacted by newly established networks and groups, for example by the Local Action Groups and Rural Farming Networks, institutionalised by the EU CAP. Rural Networks, a form of technical assistance to improve governance and effectiveness of Rural Development Programmes, are in place to "spread good practice" and encourage wider stakeholder participation and involvement beyond the region (Marquard 2010: 8). The implementation is characterised not just by a horizontal network of farmers and their respective municipalities, but also involves regional and national authorities, which makes it both multilevel and polycentric (Naustdalslid 2014).
Decisions that are part of the RIP are discussed in these different forums and meeting constellations, with a wide range of actors.
In addition, the structures of decision-making are open to changes, as both the PMG and the RCG are arrangements under on-going review and can be adjusted if that is considered necessary (RDPE 2010). Leadership roles are thus clear, but not overpowering the exchange of ideas and approaches to decisions that are made in the context of the regional CAP implementation.
Networking structures have been institutionalised and funded by the EU and the national government. Cooperation and networking in the East Midlands is visible in several publicly funded formats, such as "Climate East Midlands". A look at its partners reveals a very broad association of participants (public authorities, local councils, businesses, health sector). Farmers in the East Midlands can also engage in workshops organised by the partnership. Thus, implementation is a cooperative effort that involves stakeholders from different backgrounds and establishes a strategy that reflects EU objectives. Furthermore, the strategy responds to and integrates regional features and needs by means of participatory negotiation meetings and additional projects. While it is not always clear who is chosen to participate and whether this is on equal term, the 'learning by doing'-attitude seems to be prominent.
Targeted information on agriculture and climate change is provided online. However, the information provided is often not instructive, but only informatively-descriptive to the point where one knows that such cases of agricultural adaptation exist. Also, local data is not aggregated to inform regional planning, let alone national planning. Furthermore, regional and national information on climate change activities does not highlight the impact of the CAP on climate change adaptation, merely listing it as a tool for funding. The link between the CAP as a regulatory framework that can set incentives for agricultural adaptation to climate change is not explicit. Not surprisingly, agricultural adaptation to climate change with regard to policy planning and implementation is subsequently not yet monitored explicitly.
The consultation of experts is institutionalised by means of advisory services. These have been increasingly made use of during the implementation of the 2007-2013 CAP (ADAS 2009). Stakeholders can participate in Local Action Groups, Rural Networks as well as in the decision-making meetings on the RIP. Unfortunately, the material under review neither indicates if the discussions can be characterised as 'fair discourse' nor does it allow for comments on trust relationships. This indicates that the CAP stimulates loci of knowledge exchange and that financial incentives exist that further promote information exchange. However, individual-level responses and effects need to be tested in greater depth in order to account for a build-up of individual adaptive capacity.
The four-pronged assessment framework allows for a rapid screening of institutional arrangements and their capacity to promote adaptive management. Specific focus is given on social and political factors as described by the level of interaction, learning and influence of different actors on decision-making.
The assessment of implementation of CAP in the East Midlands has highlighted first steps towards increasing farmers' ability to change and adapt in relation to climate change. Decision-making with regard to regional agricultural planning allows for structural reinventions and a targeted approach to land management in a collaborative effort. The preconditions to perform constant re-invention and co-evolution in accordance with dynamic exterior effects while maintaining institutional and regulatory stability exist.
The assessment framework is more limited when it comes to evaluating the impact of institutional arrangements on adaptation at individual level. It was for example not possible to evaluate the level of individual learning. For that the framework should better consider socio-cognitive factors of agricultural adaptation.

As part of In extenso bi-annual international "Off-site" project, In extenso presents DISTROPICAL ENCOUNTERS , both a residency and exhibition project hosted by TARS Gallery in Bangkok.
Several foreign artists will discover the urban and cultural context of Bangkok, where they will spend a two-weeks residency. Meanwhile, Thai artists will join them in order to prepare together a group show to complete the project. Each artist will have two weeks to create one or several pieces on site (they will use the empty TARS Gallery as their studio), using the materials they can find there, either buying production material, finding them, exchanging them or by any other means of diffusion and circulation of goods. The resulting artworks will be presented to the public during an exhibition at TARS Gallery.
This project takes its own context as a starting point to reflect on the question of ephemeral passage and brief circulation (echoing, thereby, the general concept of exhibitions, temporary by definition). What does it produce? How does the imaginary, the exotic transform themselves, resist or disappear as reality occurs? How does it affect the form? Also, how do relationship with others, cultural exchanges, produce ideas and forms? Constrained on many issues, this experience aims to shed a new light on the consequences of our habits in times of accelerated, shortened, relations, which — without any intent to promote the social acceleration of present times —, still provides encounters, exchanges and mutual influences.

Picnics, barbecues, and potlucks are all looking for a jazzy side dish. Well I have you covered!
My Grandpa once asked me how I come up with all my recipes, specifically, recipes that I have done for magazines. Many times it starts with a theme. Using this recipe as an example I was grilling chicken satay for dinner and wanted to serve something with it that had good Asian flavors. I love Vietnamese spring rolls but didn't have the rice paper wrappers on hand which meant I needed to improvise. This is where a recipe idea is born.
Once I get something in my head it is hard for me to shake it until I get in the kitchen and make it. I love a good rice bowl and figured I would use that concept and just create a salad full of the Vietnamese spring roll flavors with out the actual wrapper. BINGO!
This bowl is filled with herbs that are easy to grow in your garden. AND you don't need to turn on the stove to prepare it making it the ultimate summer dish. Eat it for lunch on its own or pair it with grilled meat or fried tofu for a tasty side dish.
The spring rolls are usually served with a peanut sauce. Using that as inspiration I thinned it out slightly and turned it into a dressing. CHA-CHA-CAH!
Cling on to the remaining days of summer and jazz up your next barbecue with a fun new side dish.
NOT ALL HOISEN IS GLUTEN FREE! Joyce Chen makes a delicious gluten free hoisen sauce. Make sure to read your labels!
I used Dole's Chopped Asian Blend salad mix (green and red cabbage, kale, broccoli slaw, snap peas, and carrots) You could make your own blend or use a cole slaw mix too.
Yum! This looks like a super easy recipe. Will have to try this. I bet my husband would love it!
It is full of great flavors with out being complicated.
Do you have any formal food development training? This recipe sounds delish–and you seem to know a lot about flavors and food. Love learning from you!
No formal training in the way of classes or the like. I have been at it experimenting in the kitchen for nearly 15 years. Lots of trial and error in my case!
So basically I need to live at your blog. Is that okay?? This looks SOOO good!!!


48 Hours in Paris — Often dubbed as the "City of Light," Paris is a cosmopolitan cradle of luxury, fashion, intellectualism, and romance, bisected by the River Seine and filled with hidden cultural and historical gems buried in every corner of the city. Traditionally, the north bank of the river was considered the more affluent part, while the south bank had a more avant-garde flair, however, with time, that marked divide has significantly blurred. And today, all 20 arrondisements exude their own unique appeal and warrant a special visit. Start in the center of the city in the 1st arrondisement, and spiral your way out clockwise through all 20 areas. Paris is not only considered the political capital of France, but it is also the cultural and commercial epicenter of the country. It is as international as it is fundamentally French.
Paris is overwhelmingly luxurious and savoring every delight, no matter how petit is part of the experience. Dotted with cafés, patisseries, and boulangeries at every corner, Paris is not only a vast haven of gourmet food, but it also serves as the headquarters of some of the world's most exclusive fashion boutiques. The illuminated city is also a tribute to the intellectual preeminence of notables such as Hemingway, Voltaire, Dali, Stravinsky, and Picasso who have used Paris as a common gathering place over the centuries and left their indelible marks on not only French society, but also the world at large.
Though transportation by the expansive underground metro is superb, to enjoy more versatility, try renting a bike or roaming the city by foot. And if the weather permits, take an evening boat tour along the River Seine and witness the city lights captivate your heart.
1) Treat yourself to a luxurious breakfast at La Tartine in the Marais district, the ancient Jewish quarter. Today, it oozes with flamboyance and charm, lined with narrow alleyways and trendy cafes, and is home to budding artists, aspiring fashion designers, and a growing gay presence.
2) Marvel at the modern, colorful architecture of the Center Georges Pompidou (Musée National d'Art Moderne).
3) Go shopping on Rue de Rivoli and Châtelet/Les Halles until you land on the doorstep of one of world's largest and most famous museums, Musée du Louvre. Pose in front of the dazzling glass pyramids, gawk at Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, and appreciate the never-ending galleries of historical relics spanning multiple centuries.
4) After perusing the endless corridors of the Louvre, take a short afternoon break at a nearby tearoom called Angelina, where you can find perhaps, the best and most decadent cup of hot chocolate in Paris. It's almost like a melted chocolate bar in a glass that would have even Willy Wonka begging for seconds!
5) Stroll along Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge in Paris that dates back to the 17th century.
6) After an authentic French lunch at the famous Les Deux Magots café in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area, head over to the Latin Quarter and the Pantheon, a secular mausoleum that houses luminaries such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Victor Hugo, and Alexandre Dumas. It is also regarded as one of the most striking examples of neoclassical architecture.
7) The Jardin du Luxembourg is the largest public park and serves as the garden of the French Senate, which is housed in the Luxembourg Palace.
8) Nestled in the St. Michel district and considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, the Notre Dame cathedral is one of the crowning attractions of the Île de la Cité, one of the two islands in the Seine. Look for the bronze star in the pavement in front of the entrance of the Notre Dame; it's France's official geographical center.
9) To the east of the Notre Dame is the Place de la Bastille, the former venue of the infamous Bastille prison until its destruction after the "Storming of the Bastille" during the French Revolution. Today, it bears symbolic significance and is often used for political demonstrations.
10) Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and dine at the ultra trendy Buddha Bar restaurant, a classic in Paris' dining scene. Tantalize your taste buds with one of the many Asia-inspired cocktails and admire the visually stunning décor around you. Be sure to make reservations in advance!
11) For a real taste of the Parisian nightlife, grab a drink at the gorgeously low-lit speakeasy-styled lounge, the Experimental Cocktail Club Bar or sway to the latest tunes at L'Arc Paris.
1) Start your busy day at the quintessential Parisian tea salon: Ladurée, known as the creator of the double-decker macarons. Sample the exquisite pastries and walk away with a box of macaroons, at the very least.
2) Sashay down the Champs-Élysées —the most beautiful boulevard in the world and the famed mecca of French style and haute couture—and shop 'till you drop! Start on the west end by paying homage to all the soldiers of the French Revolution that are immortalized in the Arc de Triomphe and end at the Place de la Concorde with the Obelisk of Luxor at its center. The Place de la Concorde, which literally translates to "the square of harmony" also marks the site where Marie Antoinette and countless others were guillotined during the French Revolution. Word of advice: go to the top of the Arc de Triomphe for stunning views of the city!
3) View Napoleon's tomb, an important remnant of France's past at Les Invalides, a complex of buildings all related to the military history of France.
4) A trip to Paris is incomplete without visiting the iconic Eiffel Tower. If the weather permits, the best way to experience the beautiful landmark is by bringing your own wine, baguettes, and cheese and having a picnic on the lawn in front! A word of advice if you want to go up to the top: go early in the morning to avoid the hours-long queues and stampedes of trudging tourists.
5) Take a midday break and indulge in a sweet crêpe—a typical French dessert—with dollops of nutella and fresh bananas. Complement your dessert with a Parisian staple, café au lait and a side of people watching!
6) Roam Boulevard Haussmann, home to the glorious Galeries Lafayette, a 10-story department store and a Parisian fashion institution. Lodged in an Art Nouveau building, Galeries Lafayette is every fashionista's paradise and every foodie's heaven. It's the perfect place to get lost in Paris.
7) Adjacent to the beautiful Galeries Lafayette is the Opera Garnier, an architectural treasure and home to the Paris ballet.
8) Perched atop a hill at 130 meters high, Montmarte is known for hosting the beautiful, white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur at its summit and being an upcoming nightclub district. Climb the cobbled streets and enjoy heavenly views of the city, and if the slog up the steep steps does not leave you breathless, the stunning panoramic views from the top will do the trick! At the foot of Montmarte, you will find yourself in Pigalle, the infamous red-light district of Paris and home to the celebrated Moulin Rouge cabaret.
9) Pay your respects to literary geniuses like Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust at the Père Lachaise cemetery, the largest cemetery in Paris.
10) Wind down with an intimate dinner at Le Chateaubriand and indulge in a prix-fixe French meal, complemented by a glass, or bottle of French wine. Bon appétit!
Soaking up the beauty of Paris is not a pleasure that can be hurried, so slow down and indulge a la a true Parisian. With almost 150 museums scattered throughout the city, it is virtually impossible to visit them all in the span of two days, so some planning and prioritizing will be helpful.
On your next trip to Paris, be sure to visit the charming French countryside, known for its chateaus, champagne, and gardens.

I drove two hours to get to my nearest theater playing this movie on the 12th for the subs and I got the 'subbed version' but minus the subtitles! So I got to sit through an hour and forty minutes not understanding what they were saying. Also, someone I know FLEW out of her state to meet up with her friends to see it and they get to the theater with their pre-purchased tickets only to find out that the theater was having problems with their projector and couldn't even play the movie! When I heard you say that you had to watch the dubbed version on the 12th which was supposed to be for the subs, I just had to share my experience as well. Unfortunately, I will never pay to go watch another Funimation Film in theaters ever again after this. Seems like a lot of people ended up getting screwed over by them . . .
BUT the Book of Atlantic was still an AMAZING film – even without the subtitles and the multiple screaming 12 year old fangirls!
