So, last week was pretty busy. On tuesday morning I headed off to London for the Cosmo Blog Awards and met so many lovely ladies. Check out my instagram to see a few snapshots of the night. As soon as I got back I headed straight out of the door again to browse in the H&M by Porte de Namur where I found these boots. This weekend the Manfriend came to visit and we spent Saturday having a walk about in the city centre. After a meal at the Roy d'Espagne we walked to Brussels Park, took a walk archaeological site which lies underneath the palace and then in the evening went to the Nuit Blanche event. It is quite safe to say that we had a full walk of the city and these boots did my feet a service. They will without a doubt be my go-to shoes for A/W. Being the ever so paranoid person that I am, I also recently bought a small pouch in H&M to keep my phone even safer whilst carrying it around with me in my bag. It also matches perfectly with my current favourite nail polish "Thigh High" by Essie.

Test all-rounders' rankings: Ashwin, Jadeja in Top-5
Story Dated : December 16, 2015
Dubai: Ravichandran Ashwin held on to his top spot, while Ravindra Jadeja rose a rung to be fifth on the all-rounders' chart of the latest ICC Test rankings issued on Tuesday. However, no Indian found a place in the top-10 of batsmen rankings even though Ashwin (2nd) and Jadeja (8th) represented the country in the bowlers' list.
Elsewhere, Kane Williamson stood just two steps away from the top spot in the rankings for Test batsmen, which were released after the conclusion of the Dunedin and Hobart Tests.
Williamson has earned the rise to third place, just three points off South Africa's AB de Villiers, thanks to two consistent knocks of 88 and 71, helping New Zealand extend their winning streak to 12 home Test victories in-a-row, after they beat Sri Lanka by 122 runs.
Williamson's teammate Martin Guptill has jumped up a remarkable 18 places, after scoring 156 and 46. Guptill was rewarded with only his second man of the match award in Tests.
Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum has moved up two places to 17th, while his Sri Lanka opposite number Angelo Matthews has marked the visiting side's presence in the top 10 batsman rankings, down one place to seventh.

German companies have good potential in Pune's neighbouring districts, says Firodia
Shirish Shinde
Pune: Force Motors Chairman Abhay Firodia on Thursday congratulated the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) for having 650 members in 10 years.
He said, "There are huge opportunities in and around Pune. Smaller German companies will get all the support and respect in district places such as Ahmednagar, Satara and Kolhapur, where they can grow immensely instead of getting shadowed by big German conglomerates in Pune. There is a potential to have three times more the number of members in 10 years, if the IGCC, through German companies, expands its operations to the hinterland."
He was speaking as a chief guest at a function organised to mark the completion of 10 years of IGCC. IGCC President Thomas Fuhrmann, German Consul General in Mumbai Juergen Mohrhard and IGCC Director General Bernhard Steinruecke were the other dignitaries. IGCC Regional Director Natascha Lewandowski was also present.
Spelling out the huge potential for growth, Firodia said, "Pune's growing middle class, its values and improved infrastructure will help German companies to develop Pune on the lines of Stuttgart."
Lauding the chamber's role, he said the IGCC is a business enterprise and supports business. It brings with it an intense understanding of the world of business. Thus, it strengthens the Indian business environment dramatically.
He said, "If I say 'we are manufacturing engines for BMW, people respect us due to the worldwide reputation of German engineering."
Recalling his company's association with Germany, Firodia said, "One of the oldest German companies associated to Pune has been Buckau Wolf (now Thyssen Krupp), which is over 80 years old. My own company started its relationship with Germany in 1915. Initially, we had a tie-up with a small company from Hamburg in Germany. We later had ties with Daimler, which ended cordially after they sold their stakes to us."
Highlighting the contribution of German companies in generating employment in Pune and in India, Steinruecke said, "German firms have provided over one lakh jobs in Pune while the number for India is 3,43,000 jobs. The estimated turnover of 30 big German companies is around 12-15 billion euros in India."
Consul General Mohrhard appreciated the fast growing bilateral relations between the two countries and said that the German government agencies such as the consulate, the IGCC, the Goethe Institute etc, are unable to keep pace with growing interest of Indians in Germany. They always run short of space to accommodate people, who come to visit, to learn or to train to these institutions.
He said said these institutional bonds are self-driven and the government institutions are there for the sake of formalities. Universities, NGOs and other such bodies from both the countries have strong ties.
Fuhrmann underlined Germany's role in India's development in the past 60 years. He said, "I meet Indian youngsters who are curious to know more about Germany and want to work in German companies."
Earlier, welcoming delegates, Steinruecke gave an insight into Pune's association with the number 8. He said the first reference to Pune dates back to 758 AD till today that the IGCC is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2018. "Number 8 is a big success story for us and Pune," he said.
IGCA ProRecognition Manager Isabelle Jenniger, IGCC Deputy Director General Peter Deubet and Radhieka Mehta made presentations on ProRecognition, DUALpro and the Indo-German Training Centre, respectively.
Museum on Jainism
 A world-class museum on Jainism is being built near Pune on a 20-hectares of land, for which Abhay Firodia sought help of experts from the University of Berlin. Six young German experts have prepared a world class booklet for the museum. It will open in the near future, said Firodia.

Ever since ancient Egypt, the Eye of Horus has been used as a protective amulet against evil spirits and bad luck. Its divine power comes from Horus, the Egyptian god usually represented as a falcon. According to Egyptian mythology, he faced Seth in a battle in an attempt to recover his father's throne and lost an eye in said battle. Thoth, the god of wisdom, replaced his eye for him.
If you'd like to find out what the Eye of Horus symbolises, where its magical powers come from and how it's still used as an amulet nowadays, then read on reader!
The Eye of Horus, also known as Wadjet or Udjat, is one of Ancient Egypt's most famous artefacts, this is due to the magical powers the Egyptians had attributed to it. This famous symbol is represented by an eye and a strange type of tear and was used not just by the living, but also by the dead, to repel evil.
This means this amulet falls into the apotropaic category, apotropaic is an anthropological term used to define a type of magic or superstition intended to turn away harm or evil influences. Its supernatural powers can be deduced by simply looking at the name, Udyat (that which is whole), carrying a similar meaning to imperturbable for the Egyptians.
The Egyptians' beliefs in the beyond were based on one central aspect: the preservation of the body guaranteed that the soul would journey to the beyond, towards the doors to the netherworld, where after passing Maat's trial (he weighed the heart of the person in question), Osiris would allow the person to be reincarnated in the beyond.
That's why embalming and mummification was so important to them, as one of the traits of the Eye of Horus was being able to guarantee that the body would not be corrupted and would perdure in its natural state. This is why the Eye of Horus is one of Ancient Egypt's most important symbols, it represents cosmic balance.
Ever since its origins, the Eye of Horus was used as a protective amulet to strengthen eyesight, treat visual illnesses, deflect evil eye, keep away evil spirits and in the preparations of a dead person's journey to the netherworld. It also symbolized health, prosperity, survival and rebirth.
Its status as a protective amulet and all the superstition surrounding it has been accumulating ever since it began to be used and still perdures nowadays, independently from any specific religion or culture.
Where did the protective power of the Eye of Horus originate? In order to understand this, we must travel back to relive the myth of Osiris, as this is fundamental if we are to grasp the Ancient Egyptian's beliefs about death and superstition.
According to Egyptian mythology, Geb (the god of Earth), gave Egypt's fertile grounds to Osiris, while giving the desert to Seth. When faced with such an injustice, Seth decided to get his revenge by fighting his brother Osiris in order to keep Egypt for himself. This battle ended with Osiris' death at the hands of Seth.
However, with a favour from the gods and the help of Anubis and Neftis, Isis (Osiris' wife) managed to resuscitate Osiris, and through their carnal union, Horus was born. Osiris was now the god of the netherworld and left to reside in the beyond so he could guide the spirits of the dead to reincarnation, while Isis cared for the little Horus.

When Horus grew up, he was still hungry for revenge. He fought Seth in an attempt to recover his father's throne and according to Egyptian mythology, he lost an eye in the battle. Later on, his eye was restored by Thoth, the god of wisdom.
The Egyptians were very superstitious people, and were massive fans of the myth of Osiris, as their culture was centred on death. That's why the Eye of Horus, having been restored by Thoth through the use of magic, concentrated supernatural powers they desired.
The Eye of Horus has ventured beyond the borders of Egypt, extending its influence to all cultures and religions and perduring up to this day with a very superstitious background. Its attraction for people nowadays is understandable, the fact that it's a protective amulet combined with its powerful symbolic identity and its history has made it very popular.
It's no secret that Ancient Egyptian aesthetics, full of symbols and hieroglyphics, are what inspires many tattoos. Out of all of them, the Eye of Horus is a favourite not only for its attractive aesthetics, but also because of all it symbolises. Many people get the Eye of Horus tattooed on themselves because of its sense of perseverance and perdurance.
For many others, the Eye of Horus is a protective amulet which invokes divine forces in order to keep away evil spirits, deflect evil eye and repel bad luck. This symbol of Ancient Egypt is also a door to the beyond and to our souls. What more could you want!

On our arm, on our back, on our ankle or even our neck, many people, especially those who have a difficult job requiring perseverance and constant effort, get this tattoo. Others do it for superstitious reasons, especially because of the magical traits attributed to the Eye of Horus.
Apart from the healing properties attributed to the Eye of Horus, a series of coincidences and mysteries have converted this symbol in a desirable object for fans of dark magic. One of these facts is that the Eye of Horus isn't only a magical symbol but also an example of mathematical knowledge left behind by our best buddies, the ancient Egyptians. Pay close attention!
According to Egyptian mythology, the Eye of Horus was ripped from its socket by Seth and split into six pieces, each one of these pieces was assigned a fraction as a unit of measurement. The right part was 1/2, the iris was 1/4, the eyebrow was 1/8, the left part was 1/16, the spiral curve was 1/32 and the tear was 1/64. All these fractions add up to 63/64.
The missing part was Thoth's magical powers, and all this represents the virtue of imperfection.
Each part of the Eye of Horus corresponds to one of our senses. The right part is associated to our sense of smell, as it's closer to our nose, while the left side represents our hearing (it points towards our ear and has the shape of a musical instrument). The iris represents the meaning of life, and the brow represents our thoughts and ideas.
The tear represents our sense of touch, as this part of the eye is similar to a stem being planted in the Earth (physical contact). The curved stroke looks like a wheat stem, so it's linked to our sense of taste.
3. The Eye of Horus, a symbol of the illuminati?
For the fans of conspiracy theories and everything dark, Horus is the Egyptian equivalent of Lucifer, and the Eye of Horus can be used to substitute the "all-seeing eye" which rests on the peak of the pyramid.
The pyramid has 13 layers which represent the 13 illuminati levels, unknown by most masons. Furthermore, in the upper part of the eye, there is this strange deist symbol which symbolizes the culmination of the Masonic works and illuminati. Many have attempted to find similarities between the Eye of creation and the Eye of Horus.

I was wondering how hard would it be to add integration with AliExpress, using username and password. I doubt they have any sort of API, and a lot of times it's hard to figure out what courier service is the right one (I personally just stick the tracking number as USPS, the destination mail company). When shipping by ePacket it shows up fine, but others are hit and miss.
Thanks and congrats for your amazing app!


some consideration of how disorienting it might be.
one frame and in a completely different place the next.
block teleporting and then fading back up.
and animating the color and opacity during teleports.
might want to implement like flying, walking or running.
This brings up the issue of vection.
And the result of vection which is motion sickness.
and we can't tell if our vehicle or that vehicle beside us is moving.
This feeling is called vection.
and it makes us feel nauseous.
based on giving you a visual frame around the center of your vision.
the stable frame of reference around the periphery of vision while moving.
that shrinks the outer area according to movement speed.
Several other factors can also make the VR experience uncomfortable for the user.
You may have a good frame rate most of the time but experience periodic drop frames.
and it's often caused by garbage collection.
and controller tracking respond in real time.
or they will experience discomfort.
and all of the headset vendors work very hard to make this as fast as possible.
and it takes multiple forms.
There's fatigue from the activity being too strenuous.
Fatigue from the graphics and eyestrain being too much.
Fatigue from too much sound or music that's too frantic.
And simple fatigue from just wearing the VR headset for too long.
So be aware of all these things when designing your VR experience.
The user's comfort and safety are of prime importance.

Diane et Endymion est un tableau réalisé par Jérôme-Martin Langlois de 1819 à 1822.

Cette œuvre de style néoclassique, réalisée à la peinture à l'huile sur toile, représente la déesse romaine Diane, l'une des douze divinités olympiennes, tombant amoureuse d'Endymion. Il est réputé détruit ou disparu pendant la Guerre de 1914-1918 mais une œuvre similaire a été vendue à la chanteuse Madonna.

Description
Le tableau est une peinture à l'huile sur toile de dimensions . Disparu depuis 1911, il est connu par une gravure et des esquisses de l'école de Langlois, puis par la numérisation d'une photo en couleur publiée par WGA.

Le tableau est peint dans le style néoclassique et représente une scène des Métamorphoses d'Ovide où la déesse Diane tombe amoureuse d'Endymion.

L'œuvre représente, à gauche, Diane, comme suspendue dans les airs, un carquois à l'épaule et pudiquement accompagnée d'un voile nébuleux. Elle contemple Endymion, en bas à droite, assoupi sur une peau de tigre, le bras droit replié sous sa tête et tenant un javelot de la main gauche, son chien couché à ses pieds. Au centre, un amour ailé soulève, à l'attention de Diane, la draperie qui couvrait le jeune berger.

Historique

Commande et disparition
La peinture été commandée à Jérôme-Martin Langlois le 29 juillet 1817 par Louis XVIII pour le salon de Diane au Château de Versailles. Il est exposé pour approbation au Salon de Paris de 1819 et a été achevé en 1822. Il reste au Musée du Luxembourg jusqu'à la mort du peintre (1838) ; puis il est déposé au Louvre qui en fait dépôt au musée de Picardie en 1873.

Une gravure d'interprétation de la toile est réalisée par Étienne Achille Réveil vers 1830. Elle est soumise en 1843 par M. Muller à l'Institut de France.

Dans les années 1970, un jeune historien de l'art, Jacques Foucart, s'aperçoit que l'œuvre originale disparait des inventaires des musées dès 1911. Il est possible que le musée de Picardie l'ait à son tour déposée au musée de Doullens. Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, la collection du musée de Picardie est évacuée au Louvre à Paris pour y être conservée mais le tableau reste manquant lors de la restitution des œuvres à Amiens en 1920. Il a d'abord été décrit comme « introuvable au retour de l'évacuation de 1918 » et ensuite comme « détruit par la chute de la torpille sur le musée » car on supposait qu'elle a été détruite lors du bombardement d'Amiens en 1918.

Ventes

En 1989, lors d'une vente aux enchères chez Sotheby's à New York, la chanteuse américaine Madonna a acheté pour  de dollars un tableau considéré comme « quasi identique » à Diane et Endymion, mais ni daté ni signé. Le tableau que Madonna a acheté est plus petit de  que l'original et peut être soit une copie, soit le tableau original lui-même, amputé de la bande où figuraient la date et la signature.

En 2015, un conservateur d'art d'Amiens identifie le tableau sur une photo d'un reportage du magazine Paris Match où l'on voit Madonna poser devant l'œuvre dans sa maison. Aussitôt, Olivia Voisin, au nom du musée de Picardie, a déposé une plainte contre X pour le vol du tableau. Madonna n'est pas impliquée dans l'action en justice de la ville, l'institution ne contestant pas que Madonna ait acquis le tableau légalement.

Dans une vidéo du , Brigitte Fouré, la maire d'Amiens, lance un appel à Madonna pour qu'elle prête le tableau à la ville afin que « nos habitants locaux puissent redécouvrir cette œuvre et en profiter ». En effet, Amiens est candidate au titre de Capitale européenne de la culture en 2028.

Professor Tim Cockerill
Position: Chair in Efficient Energy Utilisation
Email: T.Cockerill@leeds.ac.uk
Location: G13 Energy Building
Website: LinkedIn | Googlescholar
Tim Cockerill is a Professor of Efficient Energy Utilisation, a joint appointment between the Schools of Mechanical Engineering and Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering, based in the Centre for Integrated Energy Research (CIER). He joined the University in July 2013.
Career History:
Professor of Efficient Energy Utilisation (2013-present), Centre for Integrated Energy Research, University of Leeds
Senior Lecturer in Energy Policy & Technology (2008-2013), Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London
Lecturer in Renewable Energy (2004-2008), School of Construction Management and Engineering, University of Reading
Research Fellow in Renewable Energy (1996-2004), School of Environment/School of Sciences, University of Sunderland
Research Student (1991-1995), Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge
Co-Lead of Energy Leeds
Tim's core research develops integrated models of energy systems and technologies, and then uses those models to inform both technology development and policy decisions. A key innovation of the work is using rigorous engineering analysis to inform energy policy decision making - and equally using questions in energy policy to frame energy engineering problem development. Tim is an engineer by background, but recognising the complex interdisciplinary nature of most energy problems, has reached out to methodologies from social science, economics and policy analysis.
Tim works across a range of energy technologies and systems, though most projects have focused on wind, carbon capture and storage, or energy storage. He also has an enthusiasm for interdisciplinary energy teaching.

Booked in for next week with a portrait of Sir Jake Melksham ?
I'm thinking of completing my half sleeve with the years we won our flags, hopefully I can add 2018 ?
I chose the old mascot over our current logo, don't think the logo would look good as a tattoo.
I'm sure they'll have a tattoo parlour in hell ?
So I got this tattoo done last year and was interested to see if anyone else has a demon tattoo, show us yours?
Strongest FWD line set up.
I don't wanna see him in that forward line ever again. junior footballers can honestly do better in front of goal than Bugg.
The strongest forward line set up IMO F: Garlett Hogan Hannan HF: Petracca Pedo Watts A lot will question me about Hannan but I'm convinced on him already, premature yes but geez he is something special... can play small or big, goal sneak and most importantly applies pressure. IMO already gone past Kent & JKH. Another Jason Taylor special. Pedo & Gawn rotating. Hogan, Watts & Pedo the main targets. Petracca the medium sized forward, rotating with someone________ ? in the middle and Jeffy & Hannan the goal sneaks.
In Jason Taylor we trust!


The Magno will appeal to all the family. She is user friendly from day one, the dynamic yet forgiving hull is married to an easily controlled rig that is prefect for less experienced sailors but will also give you that extra oomph on demand.
As with all Howlett designs, stability is reassuring and seasoned sailors will quickly appreciate the pedigree handling, impressive performance potential and high specification throughout.
And the furling jib also means you can transform the Magno to a powerful singlehander.
The Topper Topaz Magno is available in a couple of setup options, please go to the official site www.toppersailboats.com to see the full range of options. We are here to help too, feel free to get in touch and we can help with pricing and details, please call +852 2827 5876 or use our contact page.
The Magno is a great family boat, with a deep, spacious hull with the capacity to carry a family of four. Two seats for children are positioned at the front of the cockpit and a fibreglass thwart in the centre together with seating on the side of the boat makes this a really roomy choice for a young family.
Add the fact that all Magnos are fitted with a gnav system and the size of the cockpit is even further optimised. The boom is the right height to clear small children and the lightweight pivoting epoxy centreboard makes for easy, family-friendly sailing.
The flotation device, fitted at the head of the sail, removes the risk of total capsize and the furling jib is simple enough for a beginner to use. Righting lines and grab rails are safety features fitted as standard.
TRILAM technology unique to the Topaz range gives unrivalled strength to weight ratio and great uniformity, buoyancy, stiffness and durability.
Sails are available in Dacron for a beginner sailing family or Mylar for more experienced parents teaching children.

Movement of goods in the supply chain system from point of manufacturing to its point of consumption is not always straightforward as sometimes there are less links between the two points of origin and destination or the links are more complicated. However, the goods need to be moved for the supply chain system to drive smoothly.
In order to solve the transport complexity of complicated logistics system, different modes of transport must be used. Using several modes of transport (minimum two) in a particular trade contract is known as Multimodal transport or combined transport.
Combining different modes of transport in one single contract would facilitate the flow of goods in the supply chain system when there are complications or limited accessibility for one sole mode. This means the goods will be moved faster and smoother and safer from its production point through to its consumption place.
It is the responsibility and expertise of a logistics professional, to decide on the most productive, cost effective and energy/labour/fuel saving combination of transport modes to design the best Multimodal transport solution.
In Multimodal transport, the sole responsibility of the entire shipment is on one carrier or transport operator who will liaise among different operators and there are commonly one contract for the entire movement of cargo but the main carrier might have his own sub-contracts with each transport mode operator. Having one main carrier for the entire shipment benefits from economies of scale and as such it would be much more cost and resource effective.
The main carrier in a Multimodal transport contract might be a freight forwarder who liaise among all transport mode operators.

Audi e-Tron Sportback Will Take On The Jaguar I-Pace In 2019
by Martin Bigg / Comments
Prices will start at $70,000, which could also make it a worthy rival to the Tesla Model X.
At last month's Shanghai Auto Show, Audi unveiled the e-Tron Sportback Concept, an electric coupe-style crossover set to rival the Jaguar I-Pace. Essentially, it represented Audi's vision of what its customers will be driving in the future to meet the rapidly rising demand for crossovers and EVs. According to Automotive News, executives have now confirmed that the production version of the e-tron Sportback will be arriving in the US in 2019. Yes, that's one year after the Jaguar I-Pace, which is already playing catch-up with the Tesla Model X.
The production model will be based on Audi's heavily modified MLB Evo architecture, which is shared with the A4, A5, Q5, and Q7. A variety of electric powertrain options will be available with the range-topping model producing 500 horsepower, positioning the e-tron Sportback as a high-performance, premium electric SUV. This makes it similar to the 496-hp concept model previewed at Shanghai, which also means it should be capable of hitting 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds. While we expected the production model to look more conventional than the concept, Autonews reports that the concept's styling "closely reflects the upcoming production car."
9 Facts You Didn't Know About Porsche
Like the concept, the production model will be equipped with an abundance of futuristic technology including exterior cameras OLED interior screens replacing the conventional rearview mirrors. Prices will start at around $70,000. That's around $20,000 more than an entry-level Q7, but about the same as the Tesla Model X which starts at $74,000. While the e-tron Sportback won't be ready until 2019, Audi will be relying on the e-Tron quattro to go head-to-head with the Jaguar I-Pace in 2018, a similarly sized crossover with a more conventional roofline and a slightly more spacious interior. It was first previewed by the e-tron Quattro Concept in 2015, but will look similar to the e-Tron Sportback.

From award-winning duo Tony Johnston and Jim LaMarche comes a stunning, lyrical picture book about a girl's desire to see an elusive California puma in the wild that includes interesting facts about this beautiful and threatened animal.
A girl visiting her grandmother longs for a glimpse of the solitary and rarely seen puma. Her grandmother tells her that if she's patient, one day her wish will come true. But patience is hard, the girl thinks. So, the girl and her grandmother stand watch each day, and then finally, without warning, she sees the beautiful animal from afar. Knowing she may never see a puma again, she now knows it's everyone's responsibility to protect these increasingly threatened animals.

A young girl is fascinated by pumas, and after months of waiting and watching, she sees a puma near her home.The unnamed narrator of the lyrically told story lives with her grandmother on a remote ranch in an unspecified location with mountains and canyons. The girl is fascinated with puma lore and legends, and her dream is to see a puma, even just once. She uses her allowance money to purchase a salt lick with hopes of luring a puma close enough for observation. After over a year of watching and dreaming, she finally sees a puma through the window as it circles the salt lick. The first-person story is told with evocative descriptions as the girl observes the environment around her with a dreamy, imaginative style enlivened by Gram's pithy country sayings. An oversized format and expansive double-page-spread format showcase the striking, realistic illustrations done in a glowing, golden palette. The accomplished paintings capture the beauty of the natural surroundings and help create a real world for the rather lonely child. The girl and her grandmother present white. An author's note offers more information about pumas as well as puma-conservation organizations, although exactly where pumas can be found in the U.S. is not made clear enough. The unlikely but real danger posed by pumas to humans is also not addressed.A lovely, beautifully illustrated story of a child's dream fulfilled. (Picture book. 4-8)
– Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2019
The girl who narrates this wistful idyll by Johnston (Loving Hands) lives with her grandmother amid rolling grassland. She has long dark hair and a starry-eyed expression, and she dreams of seeing a puma one day. (Her Gram calls it a "long-dream, for it may not ever happen.") The puma population is dwindling, the girl knows: "Some are hunted down./ Some are forced from the land/ when people move in." She sinks her allowance into a salt lick; it lures other animals, but not the one she wants to see. The wisdom of her grandmother ("Easy dreams aren't worth a pin or a pickle") helps sustain her as she gets a lesson in patient waiting. Johnston's deliberately paced story foregrounds the sense of time that comes from living in the natural world, where things can take years, not minutes. Each softly tinted, naturalistic spread by LaMarche (A Story for Bear) captures a scene of rare beauty: a misty morning, a snowy dawn. While the text treats habitat loss and extinction, it focuses, too, on the simple joy of encountering an animal in the wild, where it is meant to be. Ages 4–8. (Oct.)
– Publishers Weekly, August 19, 2019
Among the hills where she lives with her grandmother, a young girl has always wanted to see a puma, but, as Gram explains, because of their being hunted or displaced by humans, they're rare. However, having heard stories of sightings, the girl's hopeful. She even sets out a salt lick—"I imagine that big cat / slipping through our wheat field / on whisper-feet"—which only attracts other wildlife. Still, she remains vigilant through seasons, until, finally, she spies a puma in the grasses around the salt lick. Though fleeting, the experience inspires her in multiple ways. The girl's eloquent, poetic narrative is reflected in LaMarche's evocative, richly hued, realistic illustrations, softly rendered in acrylics, pencil, and ink, which make equally great work of landscapes, mountain vistas, and close-up portraits of the determined narrator. The lyrical lines and warm scenes combine harmoniously to tell a lovely story that highlights the natural world, while also conveying the resonant power of aspirations. An appended author's note includes puma facts, Johnston's personal puma experiences that inspired the story, and lists some conservation organizations.

K-Gr 3– A farm girl dreams of seeing a puma in the wild. Her gram tells her that this is a "long-dream," since pumas are elusive and their population is dwindling. The girl is determined and makes a plan. She invests her allowance in a salt lick. Months go by; the girl goes about her daily life and waits. Her patience pays off when she finally sees a puma licking her salt lick. The girl thinks he looks like a great golden ghost and she is inspired to pursue a new dream—to preserve and protect wild puma populations. Printed in landscape format, the realistic illustrations of a farmhouse and outdoor vistas are created with a combination of acrylic, pencil, and ink with frame-worthy skill. A soft and natural color palette places readers through the seasons gazing along the long horizon. Gently poetic first-person prose emphasizes the quiet beauty in the every day. An endnote contains information about pumas and a list of organizations dedicated to puma initiatives. VERDICT Budding nature lovers will enjoy this quiet, beautifully illustrated book with a strong conservation message.–Mindy Hiatt, Salt Lake County Library Services

Children's / Children's Picture
Puma Dreams, a lyrical, panoramic beauty of a book, is the collaborative effort of award-winning writer Tony Johnston and renowned illustrator Jim LaMarche.
In this lyrical story, a young girl who lives in the country has a dream of seeing a puma—the elusive "ghost of the mountains." Her Gram tells her she must be patient and that dreams require waiting, time and more than a little luck.
To try and lure a puma, the girl and her Gram buy a salt lick and place it in the meadow. Every day the girl watches with her binoculars as birds, mice, deer and elk nibble at the salt lick, but no puma appears. The girl grows tired of waiting, but she knows dreams take time.
One morning over breakfast, the girl senses something is about to happen. When she gazes out the window, she finally sees the puma, golden and magical—the dream she has waited for. Now that she has realized her dream, the girl begins to imagine a new dream of keeping pumas safe and making sure they always have places to roam free.
With gentle pastels, LaMarche creates sweeping vistas of mountains and prairies, the perfect puma habitat, and Johnston's evocative language beautifully portrays a little girl's longing.

I'm downloading a file thats about 2g and every 10% or so of progress, I hear my machine's fan start to roar and then my computer freezes and reboots. This happened with both Utorrent and Deluge. Nothing else elicits this reaction. I didn't know Event Viewer was a thing until I started to look this up so I hope these are the relevant dump files. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Start by doing a virus/malware cleanup just to make sure it's clean from infections.
Once done, uninstall/reinstall Torrent and Deluge then observe weather the same problem will persist or not.
Seems like your computer is not properly optimized and it is containing the number of viruses. so you need to optimize your computer properly and scan your computer with good antivirus.
I think you need to download an offline older version of uTorrent, if this will not works then reinstall a fresh copy of OS to get rid of these problems.
Thanks, I'm gonna try this and will report back. If this is the case, I'm going to feel so stupid.
This worked! I can't thank you enough, man. I really appreciate it. Kindness from strangers is a wonderful thing. Thanks for taking the time to look over my problem.
Thanks to Rine and Rimmy too, I appreciate your input so much. Hopefully this thread helps someone out in the future.

Today high confidence systems of embedded systems (SoES) are widely used in many fields where consequences of failures are serious. However, current approaches for software development of monolithic embedded system cannot meet the challenges existing in SoES development. In this paper, we present a new design automation method for software development in SoES. The core of this method is the model mapping which transforms high-level high-confidence properties identified in the requirement model into some low-level constraints in the design model. This method provides a quantitative way to handle the high confidence and keep the high confidence consistent and visible during the development process. It improves software quality and enables software automation.

NFL Rumors – Houston Texans & Wasington Redskins Trying to Sign Joe Mays
Morgan Petrelli
At the moment, it seems like linebacker Joe Mays just might be the most sought after remaining free agent after being released by the Denver Brocnos, with the Washington Redskins and the Houston Texans showing a lot of interest in adding the five-year veteran.
Two days ago we reported that both the Chargers and the Redskins, each with its own problem at inside linebacker, are going after Mays, trying to fill in the depth chart, putting Mays as a backup to their starting linebackers, like he has been for most of his career in the league.
While the Redskins seem like the most interest party at the moment to add him to their roster; Keenan Robinson was supposed to be the backup to London Fletcher and Perry Riley, but he tore his torn pectoral will keep him out for the entire season, meaning the Redskins need to find some cover.
As for the Texans, they didn't seem like a team needing any help at the position with Brian Cushing dominating last season, or at least until he went down with a season ending injury. Cushing is being brought back very carefully and slowly, while Darryl Sharpton is currently having some issues with his groin and his placed on the NFI (non-football injury). The Texans' defense took a huge hit without Cushing last season, and while Mays isn't going to replace his presence and effect on defense, it's better than anything they have right now.
Mays played only six games last season for the Broncos, his third year in Denver. In 2011, his most productive NFL season, Mays played in all 16 games (starting 12 of them), finishing with 83 tackles. He has only 0.5 sacks in his NFL career, and isn't really a threat when it comes to blitzing and getting to the quarterback. He's not a bad cover guy on tight ends, and is pretty productive when it comes to stopping the run.

Tahoe Creamery Ice Cream, Coming to a Store Near You
This is good news, and I'd been wondering when it was coming. Tahoe Creamery, the ice cream maker that makes all of their ice cream out of a plant near the Minden Airport, is going to start selling their ice cream in local supermarkets. Up until now it's only been available in certain restaurants around the area, and a scoop shop in Spanish Springs. But now, you'll be able to walk down to 7-11 or Scolari's and pick up a pint.
One thing I did not know, that the article filled me in on, was that the owners of Tahoe Creamery, Greg and Cindy Hoch, also owned the Sierra Glen restaurant in Carson City. The Sierra Glen was located in that ever-rotating restaurant space at Carson and Adams street, and it made it for about four years. But eventually the ice cream, which they started out making in the back kitchen of the Sierra Glen, became popular enough in its own right to allow them to close the restaurant and focus on their ice cream. That was in 2004, and four years later they've ramped up production enough to put merchandise on store shelves. They've made deals with Scolari's, 7-11, and Lira's Supermarket in Minden. Can't wait!

I've been quite active the past holidays period - time to shower myself with some tarot presents, and yes I found some gems, like this one.
I already had some music inspired decks, and each and every one is very different from the others, after all music is a very personal and emotional subject often linked to intense emotions and/or important memories - thus the artist is this way showing a very intimate part of his or her personality and feelings at this moment in their life. Judging by the looks of the box and the large prints (30 x 17 cm) Miss Meier is a very extra-vert even wild strong woman!
The deck was previously exposed at Perpignan (France) and is printed in a limited edition of only 100 majors set with a "stay rock" print and also 4 cards collector pin up cards 17 x 15 cm.
Where the extra cards and the one on the box are bold and colorful the Facsimiles of the 22 Major arcanas are equally striking but in strong black and whites with some grey shading, each and every one reflecting the personality and style of the artist(s) depicted, who are most of them looking directly at you.


To get the best Medicare Supplement insurance in Falcon, KY, it is important to compare your options. Our website enables you to do that quickly and efficiently. Simply enter your Zip at the top and click Compare Options button. You will be taken to a page with a list of the best insurance carriers in your Magoffin area. We recommend comparing quotes from at least 3 companies before settling on a coverage. This way you can make sure you are not overpaying on your Medigap premium.
This type of insurance can be obtained by doing three simple things. First of all, you are going to want to find companies that offer it. You can find them by getting quotes from companies that allow you to put your information in so that they can send it to insurance providers that sell Falcon Medigap policies. You will receive the quotes within a few days and then it's up to you to make the right choice. The second thing that you need to do is evaluate the quotes that you do receive. Some of them will cover virtually everything. However, the best ones are going to be a little more expensive. If you can afford to do so, the coverage that will make it virtually impossible for you to ever pay another medical bill are the ones that you want to get. Finally, you need to contact that company and get set up with their policy. The sooner that you do this the better.

HomeGOVERNMENTReporting Factory Farms Abuses to be Considered "Act of Terrorism" If New Laws Pass
Reporting Factory Farms Abuses to be Considered "Act of Terrorism" If New Laws Pass
January 25, 2013 This article was posted by TLB Staff GOVERNMENT 0
How do you keep consumers in the dark about the horrors of factory farms? By making it an "act of terrorism" for anyone to investigate animal cruelty, food safety or environmental violations on the corporate-controlled farms that produce the bulk of our meat, eggs and dairy products.
And who better to write the Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act, designed to protect Big Ag and Big Energy, than the lawyers on the Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force at the corporate-funded and infamous American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
New Hampshire, Wyoming and Nebraska are the latest states to introduce Ag-Gag laws aimed at preventing employees, journalists or activists from exposing illegal or unethical practices on factory farms. Lawmakers in 10 other states introduced similar bills in 2011-2012. The laws passed in three of those states: Missouri, Iowa and Utah. But consumer and animal-welfare activists prevented the laws from passing in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York and Tennessee.
In all, six states now have Ag-Gag laws, including North Dakota, Montana and Kansas, all of which passed the laws in 1990-1991, before the term "Ag-Gag" was coined.
Ag-Gag laws passed 20 years ago were focused more on deterring people from destroying property, or from either stealing animals or setting them free. Today's ALEC-inspired bills take direct aim at anyone who tries to expose horrific acts of animal cruelty, dangerous animal-handling practices that might lead to food safety issues, or blatant disregard for environmental laws designed to protect waterways from animal waste runoff. In the past, most of those exposes have resulted from undercover investigations of exactly the type Big Ag wants to make illegal.
Wyoming's HB 0126 is the perfect example of a direct link between an undercover investigation of a factory farm and the introduction of an Ag-Gag law. The bill was introduced mere weeks after nine factory workers at Wheatland, WY-based Wyoming Premium Farms, a supplier to Tyson Foods, were charged with animal cruelty following an undercover investigation by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). HSUS activists videotaped workers kicking live piglets, swinging them by their hind legs and beating and kicking mother pigs. Charges were filed in late December. In January, State Rep. Sue Wallis and Senator Ogden Driskill introduced Wyoming's Ag-Gag bill which would make it a criminal act to carry out investigations such as the one that exposed the cruelty at Wyoming Premium Farms.
Wallis and Driskill both have ties to Big Ag. Wallis was the subject of a conflict-of-interest complaint filed in 2010 by animal welfare groups. The groups accused her of improper and fraudulent abuse of her position as a legislator after she introduced a bill allowing the Wyoming Livestock Board to send stray horses to slaughter. At the time she introduced the bill, Wallis also was planning to develop a family-owned horse slaughter plant in the state. Both Wallis and Driskill are members of the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association. Driskill has accepted political contributions from the livestock industry and Exxon Mobil, a member of ALEC.
Most of the Ag-Gag laws introduced since 2011 borrow the premise, if not the exact language, from model legislation designed by ALEC. ALEC's sole purpose is to write model legislation that protects corporate profits. Industry then pushes state legislators to adapt the bills for their states and push them through. The idea behind the Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act is to make it illegal to "enter an animal or research facility to take pictures by photograph, video camera, or other or other means with the intent to commit criminal activities or defame the facility or its owner."
In other words, these laws turn journalists and the investigators of crimes into criminals.
Many of the legislators involved in ramming through state Ag-Gag bills have ties to ALEC, including Missouri's Rep. Casey Guernsey. Guernsey's top donor in 2010 was Smithfield Foods, itself a target of undercover investigations that exposed widespread abuse of pigs. Of the 60 Iowa lawmakers who voted for Iowa's Ag-Gag laws, at least 14 of them, or 23%, are members of ALEC
ALEC's interest in large-scale factory farm operations, or in industry-speak, Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), can be traced to one of its staunchest members, Koch Industries. Koch Industries once owned the Koch Beef Company, one of the largest cattle feeders in the U.S. When neighbors of one of the company's huge cattle-feeding operations opposed a planned expansion, claiming it would pose health concerns, Koch persuaded local legislators to rule in its favor. ALEC subsequently wrote the "Right to Farm Act," a bill to bar lawsuits by citizens claiming that neighboring farms, including industrial farms, are fouling their air and water.
Ag-Gag bills a threat to animals, public health and the environment
Under U.S. laws, farm animals don't get the same protection as other animals, such as dogs and cats. Anti-free speech Ag-Gag bills only serve to leave farm animals even more vulnerable to the routine pain and suffering on factory farms. The three federal statutes that address animal welfare, including the U.S. Animal Welfare Act, do not apply to animals raised for food. The Humane Methods of Slaughter Act regulates animals raised for food, but applies exclusively to slaughterhouses, where animals may spend only a short time before they are killed. That leaves the states to regulate the often-barbarous treatment of animals raised for food.
But as we've seen with the Ag-Gag bills, state laws often are written by big corporations. Nowhere is that more obvious than in states where cruel methods of treating animals are exempted from state laws on the basis of their being classified as "customary." Who decides if a certain practice is "customary" even if most thinking people would consider that practice cruel? Corporations that own and operate CAFOs in that state.
Apart from the obvious ethical concerns, Ag-Gag laws also threaten public health and the environment, and undermine workers' rights and free speech laws. Undercover investigations at factory farms have exposed the mishandling of meat, eggs and milk in ways that could potentially lead to health risks including mad cow disease, salmonella, e-coli and others. One investigation in Chino, Calif., revealed widespread mistreatment of "downed" cows – cows that are too sick or injured to walk. The facility is the second-largest supplier of beef to USDA's Commodity Procurement Branch, which distributes the beef to the National School Lunch Program.
Ag-Gag bills also keep employees and others from blowing the whistle on environmental violations. Huge amounts of waste are generated by the billions of cows, pigs and chickens on factory farms. Much of that waste, full of antibiotics, growth promoters and synthetic hormones, finds its way into our waterways and municipal water supplies. State and federal laws require CAFOs to minimize their environmental damage, but the laws are often not enforced. One of the ways to expose violations is through undercover investigations.
And then there's the matter of free speech. The American Civil Liberties Union has been an outspoken opponent of Ag-Gag bills. In a letter opposing the proposed Ag-Gag law in New Hampshire, the executive director of the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union wrote that the proposed law "has serious implications for two fundamental rights protected by the U.S. and New Hampshire constitutions: the right to freedom of expression and the right against self-incrimination."

For anyone who's ever visited this enchanting corner of the world you'll know that there's nothing quite like spending an evening on the Cornish cliffs with the person you love most, looking out over the crystal-clear waters that surround England's southern-most county. For those who've never been, now is a great time to try something new and discover one of the UK's most romantic coastal getaways, with regular flights to Cornwall from around the UK and Europe.
Just a short drive south from the Airport is Cornwall's stunning Roseland Heritage coast, full of picturesque and quaint spots that are hidden away off the beaten track, yet still afford all the grace and style that one would expect of true luxury accommodation. One of the best examples of this is the Idle Rocks, a Hotel and eatery perched on the edge of the harbour in the picture-perfect postcard town of St Mawes.
The attention to detail is stunning and the experience makes you feel like a truly welcomed guest. From the personalised slate signs bearing a guest's name on each individual door to the distinctive features making each room unique amongst it's fellows, the whole place makes visitors feel like more than just a number.
This is helped by the fact that with only 19 rooms, the Idle Rocks provides a truly exclusive experience and guests are genuinely made to feel special. Not only is the accommodation exquisite but as part of the Relais & Chateaux group the food on offer is superb, serving locally sourced produce, skilfully prepared by their award winning team.
A view of the Idle rocks from across the water.
One of the gems of the Roseland is the internationally acclaimed Lost Gardens of Heligan, hidden in the countryside above the cosy fishing village of Mevagissey. Whilst their more well-known sister, the Eden Project explores possibilities for the future, the Lost Gardens of Heligan are a mysterious and romantic step into the past.
The history of the gardens sings out to those with a romantic disposition. After they were lost to nature and neglect for most of the 20th Century, they were rescued in 1990 and, after being restored to their former glory, now cover over 200 acres making them among some of the finest gardens in the country and part of 'The Great Gardens of Cornwall'.
With three distinct areas to explore the Lost Gardens have something for everyone. Take in the 'Pleasure Gardens' strolling hand-in-hand with your partner though traditional flower gardens, or visit the 'Kitchen Gardens' and marvel at the tropical pineapple pits as they flourish in the summer. If you want a bit more privacy, lose yourself in 'The Jungle' with it's monstrous Jurassic-style ferns, giant rhubarb and other tropical plants that flourish in Cornwall's sub-tropical climate.
As we already mentioned, you don't even need to leave the Idle Rocks to find delicious local cuisine; their excellent offering includes a fantastic lunch menu, as well as expertly constructed taster menus and evening dining for that extra touch of culinary class, all served whilst you and your other half gaze out across the enchanting blue waters. They work closely with the Lost Gardens of Heligan and other local producers to bring diners the freshest local food; grown, reared and prepared all within a couple of kilometres.
Cornwall has undergone a foodie renaissance in recent years and the options for great food are many and varied, giving you plenty of opportunities to sample the local produce – from freshly caught seafood, to locally sourced meat and vegetables.
The Hidden Hut, a short drive north of St Mawes, is a great example of this. Even though this is essentially a small shed, tucked away overlooking Porthcurnick beach, it has become one of the most popular places to eat on the Roseland, partly due to their commitment to serving fresh local produce. Popular with walkers tackling the southwest coast path, the Hut is open all day serving seasonal Lunches and beachside refreshments.
They also have special evening meal events, sitting outside overlooking the bay serving a rustic evening meal, but be warned – these evening events are limited and incredibly popular so make sure you book well in advance if you hope to grab a seat!
