I was planning to craft these Mason jars for Valentine's Day for a long time, however, I was struggling to find enough free time.
Anyway, I finally bought red and pink paint and some ribbons and I got ready for the project.
Even though they were created as a Valentine's Day decorations, they could be used for any romantic occasion or girly home decor.
Although it does not seem difficult, there are some small details that it's good to take into consideration at the beginning.
I learned them the hard way so I would be more than happy to share my knowledge with you, fellow readers.
To start, have a look at the list of additional materials you will need.
Print the heart template out. Scale it accurately so that it can be symmetrical to the size of the jar you've chosen.
Stick a few tape strips of the patch horizontally onto the jar so that it can fully hold the heart.
Make sure that the patch is tightly glued, otherwise, the paint will come in, which you must then clean.
Put the heart pattern on the strips of tape by holding it with one hand centered and upright, and with the other hand using the marker, outline the contour.
Cut the heart along the contour with the box cutter knife. Be careful, this process requires lots of precision and attention.
Make sure you won't ruin your heart pattern and cut some of your fingers with a knife.
After cutting the heart along the contour, gently peel off the patch around the contour of the heart.
Now it is time to paint the jar in the color you've chosen (I would suggest red or pink). To make it easier for you, put the jar on a stand so you can spray it evenly on each side.
Keep in mind that the spray tends to glide, so, in order to make it even, you can first try a piece of wood or another useless object to get used to the force of pressure.
After finish with the painting, wait for the jar to dry out (at least for 24 hours) and if necessary, you can make a second layer.
Be careful with the black permanent marker that can be easily degraded by the chemicals in the paint and starts leaking on the already painted surface.
Therefore, it is nice to cut the contour with the knife on the inside of the heart so that no marker remains on the tape.
Once you're done with painting, gently peel off the patch to leave only the shape of a heart.
Here is a hint: If your jar is as transparent as mine, use a piece of baking paper or other matte paper to put on the inside of the jar.
You can leave it as it is, however, the LED lighting is too bright and I personally did not like it.
Decorate with some twine or ribbon by making a few turns around the neck of the jar and finally make a tie bow.
Put the LED lights inside the jar and you are done!
You can now enjoy a wonderful home decoration for Saint Valentine's as well as any romantic moment.
The hardest part is to paint the jar evenly, so prepare a stand to put the jar so it is stable and you can get around on all sides.
Try it out on a trial jar to get used to the painting method and notice if the paint runs too much or not. This will help you decide how tightly to cover with the spray.
Glossy paint is usually more tricky to use than matt one because it is more visible if there are unevenly painted areas.
It is easy to clean the paint with a simple paint thinner and a piece of cloth, or you can just scrape it if it is not firmly gripped.
I hope you like this DIY project! Since I made them, these jars are often present in the decoration when I want to add a bit more romance to the home interior.

Simple Router
What does a router do?
Before explaining what my program does, I decided to first briefly explain about the purpose of a router. The most basic explanation for what a router does is: a router forwards packets of data between a sender and a receiver. Routers are used to forward packets of data between different subnets and without them, the Internet would not exist. A router needs to have a way of knowing the possible routes a packet could take. The information on routes is usually stored in a routing table within the router. Different routing protocols describe how to determine the best route and how to exchange information on routes between connected routers.
Summary of my Implementation
The router is started by giving it a list of interface addresses as command line arguments and information on the simulated interfaces as a simconfig file. The router then opens simulated SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) interfaces for each of the interface addresses specified in the arguments. A static routing table is built with entries for the router's own interfaces. The router is then free to receive routing packets or packets to forward to other routers. Whenever a routing packet is received (addressed to the router), the router will compare its contents with its routing table and update the routes as necessary. Routing packets are broadcast to all interfaces every 30 seconds. If the packet a router receives is not addressed to the router but a route is available, the router will perform IP processing on that packet and forward it. This router uses IPv6.
All of the data that a router sends or receives is done over a simulated SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) connection. I did not implement the SLIP simulation, it was provided for this project. Because the SLIP implementation runs on UDP, it needs information to configure the UDP sockets. Relevant information for the SLIP simulation is contained in the simconfig file. The simconfig file stores client port, server port, and IP address information.
Routing Protocol
This router implements the Distance Vector routing algorithm similarly to RIP. The Distance Vector routing algorithm will forward packets to the route with the smallest distance based on a metric. In this implementation, the metric is measured in hops. On startup the router will place entries into its routing table for networks that it is directly attached to. The routing table can then be updated with other routes when the router receives routing packets addressed to it. The routing packet has the following format:
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
|                 Sender IP                     |
|             Number of routes (n)              |
|               destination 1                   |
|                 distance 1                    |
|                   ...                         |
|               destination n                   |
|                 distance n                    |
Routes are stored in the routing table and expire if they are not updated after 100 seconds. The initial routes that were added to the routing table on startup never expire.
IP Processing and Forwarding
This router uses IPv6. The router will read the IPv6 header to determine the destination address. If the destination address is the router's address, the router will process the packet as a routing packet. If the router has a route to the destination address, it will decrement the Hop Limit field in the header and place the packet in the outgoing queue and forward the packet on the interface determined by the routing algorithm. If no route exists for the destination address, the router will discard the packet and print an error message. The router uses a 64 bit network mask and will choose the route with the longest match in the event that there are multiple routes with the same metric.

Committing to buy a Chezraggz ragdoll baby is not a decision to be taken lightly, so here's a few things you might like to consider first.
Ragdolls are STRICTLY INDOOR cats, so you will need a litter tray, scratching post etc. inside for them.. Does the idea of having to scoop poop revolt you even just a little?
Cats can live a long life, so it's likely you'll have your new baby for about 15 years (failing unforseen circumstances). Are you prepared to make such a long term commitment to them?
Like humans, cats need to visit their doctor at least once a year for their ongoing vaccinations, and more frequently if they are sick. They need ongoing treatment for worms and fleas. Are you prepared for these costs?
Unlike some cats, ragdolls in particular are very social and just love the company of their human family. Do you have the time to devote to their needs, to play with them and give them the love and attention they deserve?
If any of the above makes you at all hesitant then please think very deeply before placing a deposit on one of our kittens. We strictly vet all of our potential owners (well wouldn't you?) to ensure that our kittens go to loving homes where they will be treated as precious members of the family. We reserve the right to refuse to sell any of our cats or kittens to anyone whom we consider unsuitable. Ultimately our babies belong to us until they go to their new home and we always have their best interest at heart.
All new kitten/cat adoptors are now required to sign our pet adoption contract (no exceptions). This is to protect both parties but mainly the kitten. A copy of the contract can be downloaded here: kitten/cat adoption contract. This contract will need to be signed prior to final payment for your kitten.
Final payment for your kitten is due 5 days prior to desexing.
A nonrefundable holding fee of $200 for pet kittens is required to secure one of our gorgeous kittens. It can be placed on a specific kitten or on a specific colour or pattern from an upcoming litter. For breeding kittens, the fee is $500.
We encourage all our pet owners to show their kittens if they wish, however, remember that these kittens are pet quality and have been chosen mainly for their temperament. In many cases, these kittens will not strictly adhere to the show standard.
Breeder quality Kitten (any pattern or colour) $1300 – $2000.
As we have both traditional/original ragdoll bloodlines as well as non traditional lines, prices for these kittens will vary widely. The prices above give you the lower and upper limits of costs only.
Please ask us about our second kitten discount!
Like you, we make a huge commitment to our kittens and this is what we can promise you when you purchase a Chezraggz kitten.
A happy healthy kitten that is well socialised, litter trained and of good pedigree and temperament.
Kittens will leave us at 14 weeks of age after being desexed (no exceptions).
They will have been wormed and flea treated twice.
They will have received two F3 vaccinations and been vet checked.
A microchip will have been inserted at the time of their desexing.
All our kittens come with their health card and a "kitten book" showing their progress since birth. This includes a copy of their pedigree, and photographs.
Owners will also receive a goodie bag which includes toys, blanket, sample of the dry food they're been eating and a sample of the litter we use as well as feeding instructions.
Six weeks free pet insurance to cover the transition from our place to yours.
You will also receive our ongoing support and commitment for the life of your new Chezraggz baby.
We are here to help you, so if at any time you find yourself unable to care for or keep your baby for any reason, please call us before you rehome your cat and we will attempt to find another home for them.
We love to see our babies as they grow, so if you are going on holidays and need someone to care for you baby whilst you're away, call us. We'd love to have them back to stay for awhile.
At Chezraggz we encourage all our potential adoptive families to visit their new family member if they live within striking distance of Brisbane. Give us a call and make a time, you're very welcome.
Interstate and International enquiries are welcome, and we are very happy to arrange the transportation of kittens to their new owners at new owner's cost.
Registered breeder enquiries are welcome . A deposit of $500 is required to secure a breed quality kitten and these kittens may leave our home at 12 weeks rather than the usual 14. We are always happy to DNA test a kitten for a breeder if required.
You will need to bring an approved cat carry cage to transport your baby home when you pick them up. No exceptions!

Blake "The Lake" Tahoe
Guitar, Backing Vocals
As legend has it, the man is "so big they named a lake after him". "Legend" is talking about musicianship, but above all it's referring to his heart…
Guitarist Blake "the Lake" Tahoe is obviously known for his huge talents onstage. Having performed for many years as session player with the likes of Billy Joe Black, The Bobby Bare Band and his infamous stint as lead player for Jambalaya Jacques & The Gumbo Boys (anyone remember the 1979 hit "Gumbo In My Shoe, Uh Huh!"?), Blake decided it was time to settle down with a group that he could call his own. Twenty one years later, the 5 Card Studs are still thankful for that decision.
The man once known mainly for "wranglin' strings 'n' pretty young things®" back in the early '70's, Mr. Tahoe has become a man of many interests. Whether he's writing celebrity analysis-themed articles for "Psychology Today", riding purebred bison or collecting guitars once owned by Steven Segal, you'll find him contributing to his many philanthropic pursuits. After winning a long legal battle over the publishing rights for "Gumbo In My Shoe…", Blake took the earnings from his settlement and in 1981 founded his first organization called "Blake Gives Back", a foundation for the betterment of young ladies. Then came "Blake's Li'l Honeys", a foundation for the betterment of even more young ladies. Tahoe went on to give ten percent of his total future earnings to "Tahoe Loves Women", a foundation to pay off legal bills stemming from his first two "foundations".
Blake is an Aquarius.
(FUN FACT: Blake Tahoe's cousin is Gene Shalit!)
(FUN FACT #2: Blake's signature fragrance "El Bandito for Men" is the only cologne banned by the EPA!)

Q: Protobuf field names with numbers are capitalized in a unexpected way I have a message:
message Image {

    string link_40dp = 1;
}

After the compilation, in Java, the field name is link40Dp (the first letter after a number is capitalized). But, I am expecting, that the field name would be link40dp (d in lower case).
Is it expected behavior or bug? Are there other corner-cases like this?
I am using Protobuf Gradle Plugin v0.8.5 and Protoc v3.6.1 to generate messages in Java.

A: The field name was converted from snake case (with underscores) to camel case (with syllable capitals).
Hence for link_40dp camel case would deliver "link" + capitalize("40dp").
Where capitalize(string) would turn the first letter into a capital.
The Apache commons library would capitalize "40dp" as "40dp" (no change) I think, but evidently here a "smarter" capitalize skips the digits.
This at least signals that the original string contained an underscore: link_40dp, link4_0dp or link40_dp.
So it is an expected behavior, though rather unexpected.

A: I went through sources and found that it is the expected behavior.
See the code of the capitalization. All the capitalization rules can be found in the code snippet.

RCS team drivers Mike Skinner (l) and Jean-Philippe Bergeron (r) finished second and fifth, respectively, in Bergeron's New Smyrna Speedway racing debut. Festidrag Development
Hot start for Jean-Philippe Bergeron at New Smyrna Speedway
Written by Festidrag Development on Tuesday, 05 January 2021 14:46
NEW SMYRNA, FL – Canadian racer Jean-Philippe Bergeron made his first laps of the year on American soil this past weekend as part of the Red Eye 50/50 at Florida's New Smyrna Speedway. The Quebecer, from Saint-Donat, Lanaudière, ran in a Pro Late Model car owned by Race Cars Solutions (RCS).
"From the moment I put my foot on the gas, I knew right away that we were a long way from the Late Model vehicle I'm used to driving in Quebec," said Bergeron. "The Pro Late Models are very fast. Luckily, the car behaved well and was stable."
Indeed, the #51 Pro Late Model car that was provided to him for the weekend was nothing like the Late Model or ACT cars that Jean-Philippe had driven before.
A Pro Late Model car develops more than 500 hp. On the half-mile, high-banked New Smyrna oval, Bergeron was able to reach top speeds of almost 130 mph.
From his first practice laps, he clocked times around 18.6 seconds, which was a fifth of a second slower than the leaders, including former NASCAR Truck Series champion Mike Skinner.
On Friday evening, during the official practice sessions, Bergeron's #51 experienced bearing problems in the right-front wheel. The RCS team immediately repaired the problem, allowing Jean-Philippe to return to the track quickly.
During qualifying, Jean-Philippe posted the eighth-fasted lap to secure the eighth starting position, with a time of 18.549 seconds. That was just .364 of a second back of polesitter Will Cox.
The 50-lap feature ran 'green to checkered,' without a single caution flag. During the race, Bergeron advanced three positions and came home fifth. His fellow RCS team driver, Mike Skinner, finished second.
"The weekend was very constructive for me," continued Bergeron. "I quickly familiarized myself with the car. I learned how to work with the RCS team, and with my spotter, Mike Lina. The communication was good, which bodes well for the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing, at New Smyrna, during February's Speedweek."
Bergeron also benefitted from the advice of Mario Gosselin, the owner of DGM Racing. DGM is the team Quebec driver Alex Labbé competes for in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
"When Martin D'Anjou offered me a ride to New Smyrna to meet Jean-Philippe and his parents, I immediately accepted," said Gosselin. "It's always nice to see young French Canadians competing in our sport, in the United States.
"Jean-Philippe had a great adaptation to make, and despite that, the youngster did a very good job."
Speaking on behalf of Festidrag Development, organization President Martin D'Anjou said, "We a top-five as our goal for Jean-Philippe in his debut at New Smyrna… and we got it! Jean-Philippe is now part of the Festidrag Development team and will benefit from full support in terms of communications and sponsorship research."
As mentioned, Bergeron will be back in action at New Smyrna between February 4 and 13, competing in the 55th edition of the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. The busy schedule will see him compete in eight races over the course of ten days.
ABOUT RACE CAR SOLUTIONS: Race Car Solutions is a reputable racing team with state-of-the-art cars that specializes in driver development, track and shop services, manufacturing and car rental. The owner, Jamie Skinner, himself a professional race driver, competed in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at the age of 19, and then went on to compete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. He is the son of NASCAR champion Mike Skinner. The RCS team is well known for earning numerous podium finishes, each year, at the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway.
ABOUT FESTIDRAG DEVELOPMENT: Festidrag Development offers emerging drivers the support to help them progress positively in their discipline according to their level and their need, through a customized program. The objective is to offer them the best tools, not only at the competition level, but also in terms of media communication, branding, self-promotion, sponsorship research and partner relations.
ABOUT JEAN-PHILIPPE BERGERON: Jean-Philippe Bergeron made his first laps in a kart at the age of 13. In 2015, he participated for the first time in the Cup Lites series on the ICar road circuit where he was crowned Rookie of the Year. Thus began a promising career for the Quebec native. In 2017, he experienced an LMS car in the ACT series with the support of Mr. Claude Leclerc. That's all it took to convince Bergeron to purchase his own LMS car to race in the CSCC series, one year later. Once again, Bergeron finished with the title of Rookie of the Year. In 2019, Marc Bergeron (Jean-Philippe's father) and Martin Perreault founded the Prolon Racing Team. Surrounded by enthusiasts such as Denis Valiquette, Alain Fortier, Michel Patry, and team leader Richard Forget, Jean-Philippe started the 2020 season with an all-new car entirely rebuilt with a chassis updated by renowned manufacturer Dale Shaw. Despite the shortened season due to COVID-19, Bergeron still accumulated three podium finishes, including one victory, to end the season on a high note at Autodrome Montmagny.
Fans can follow Jean-Philippe Bergeron throughout the 2021 season on Festidrag.TV at www.facebook.com/festidrag on YouTube www.youtube.com/c/FestidragTV and on TéléMag. You can also follow the activities of Jean-Philippe and the Prolon Racing team on Facebook www.facebook.com/JPBRacing18, on Instagram @jpbergeron18 as well as on the website www.prolonracing.com.

Hi, my name is HoJung Kim, and I was born and raised in Korea. At a young age, my parents taught me to understand what it meant to be a global citizen and live a life that would positively impact others. At 14, I came to the US by myself and started boarding school. It was a very aggressive and competitive environment for a 14-year-old. I saw friends getting bullied and did not understanding why some people would want to hurt others. Although it was painful, this experience inspired my deep interest in human behavior and led me to pursue a BA in Developmental Psychology.
One day after I graduated, I walked into Marimekko, a company with a very distinct brand system. I realized that good design creates an emotional connection between people and the product. I love finding the threads of human behavior through immersive research and interviews and designing enhanced experiences on both digital and physical platforms. I have found that technology can be humane. Blending my background in human behavior with my passion for interaction design, I want to foster connectivity between people and technology.

Een velmachine, ook harvester of processor genoemd, is een machine die in de bosbouw wordt gebruikt om geheel gemechaniseerd bomen te vellen en de stammen ervan klaar te maken voor transport. De machine wordt vooral toegepast bij naaldhout, waarvan de stammen recht zijn en de zijtakken dun. Als aan deze voorwaarden wordt voldaan kan ook loofhout worden verwerkt.

De machine voor houtkap werd ontwikkeld in Scandinavië. Het is daarmee mogelijk om iedere minuut een boom te vellen en te verwerken. De productie kan 100 tot 150 m³ hout per dag bedragen.

De harvester moet over de bosbodem manoeuvreren zonder deze te veel te beschadigen. Daartoe heeft de machine in het algemeen zes aangedreven wielen, verdeeld over drie assen, en knikbesturing. Twee van de drie assen bevinden zich onder de kraan, de derde onder de motor, die zich achter de cabine bevindt. Andere machinevarianten hebben vier assen, stelten of rupsen. Ook  kan men andere machines uitrusten met de machinekop van een velmachine.

De machine velt de bomen en ontdoet ze van tophout. Met behulp van een kop worden de stammen van zijtakken en schors ontdaan. Vervolgens wordt het rondhout op maat gezaagd. De kop kan soms aan de hefinrichting van een tractor worden bevestigd. Meestal wordt hij echter met het uiteinde van de kraan van een velmachine verbonden.

Nadat de boomstammen geveld zijn, worden ze door forwarders naar een stapelplaats gereden, waar ze door vrachtwagens verder worden vervoerd.

Sell out!
on Wednesday 18th July 2012 12:31 PM
For most Non League sides the difference between success and failure in a season can be found in their pre-season calendar. One or two big name friendlies can add anything up to 20% to the income stream for a season. Planning starts in some cases a year in advance and is often added as a sweetener for any transfer deals that are done involving the Non League club and a professional outfit. Big clubs will get dozens of approaches every year from clubs big and small, although the world has moved on from the fact the biggest game they would play would be against a Coronation Street XI. Today it is all about the pre-season overseas tour. Everyone is at it these days. No longer is it the preserve of the Premier League sides – League One and Two clubs these days often head overseas to get their "team building" in as well as a few games in the sunshine. This week sees the departures of Charlton Athletic and Brighton & Hove Albion to Spain for pre-season tours against the likes of Real Betis, Sporting Lisbon and er, Portsmouth. However, before the Seagulls depart for some sun, sand and soccer they had an appointment down the A27 with the Rooks. For Lewes this was the biggest game in a number of seasons. It had been in planning for over 6 months and just 48 hours before the game the Rooks were able to announce that the game was a 2,200 sell out (later revised to 2,426). In terms of potential receipts, this would see around £15,000 flow into the club (excluding any bar takings, food and club shop sales) although some of that had already been earmarked. With a club like Lewes having a playing budget around the £75,000 mark for the season, this game could make the difference between a new player or two. After their exploits in the rain in the shiny new Gallagher Stadium in Maidstone, the Seagulls swooped into the good old Dripping Pan. Lewes don't have fancy new dressing rooms, a car park big enough for a coach or a 3G pitch, but they have heart, passion and an army of helpers who were determined to make this event a success. And they did what they do best – they all mucked in and improvised. Car parking spaces were reserved in the pay and display with Under18's players standing in the spaces for the Brighton players BMWs and Mercs, treatment tables were set up outside the dressing room and boardroom converted into a bar (The Boardakabin became the Barakabin). It seemed everyone was pulling in the same direction to make the day a success. During the afternoon the Olympic Torch had passed within a goal kick of the Pan and the sun had made a very rare summertime appearance. By 6.30pm the gates were open and East Sussex's finest were flowing into the ground, ready for a glimpse of the Princes against the Paupers. Poyet arrived and asked for a cup of tea (white, on the strong side but no sugar). All hands were to the pump so it was left to yours truly to act as Gus's beverage gimp for the evening. A walk around the ground saw everyone excited about the presence of the Albion, although the Lewes players, some of whom weren't even born when Poyet was playing, seemed relaxed. All of a sudden it was game time. And like true contenders in a World Championship fight, the Rooks kept the Seagulls waiting in the "tunnel"…and waiting, and waiting. Eventually the team emerged, Sussex by the Sea filled the air and we breathed a first sigh of relief. No queues outside, everyone in place, let battle commence. Lewes 0 Brighton & Hove Albion 3 – The Dripping Pan – Tuesday 17th July 2012 History will record this as a predicted result for the Championship team, fielding the vast majority of their best starting XI against a side five leagues below. But for long periods they knew they were in a fight (in a nice way most of the time). The new look Lewes midfield of Jack Walder and Karl Beckford snarled, snapped and niggled at the Albion players whenever they had the ball. In a parallel universe they would have also gone in at the break one goal up. I had managed to snag one of the best seats in the house in the office (two stories up) as my tea making duty seemed to never end. Either Gus was drinking a lot of tea, or I was making them for every Tom, Dick and Barry in the ground. There are few finer views in the world of football on a Summer's evening with the fantastic lush playing surface framed by the white South Downs in the background. The crowd had squeezed into every cranny of the Pan, stretching it like it hasn't been stretched for years. Lewes fans, Brighton fans, Celebs (David Dimbleby spotted tucking into the Harvey's), men, women and children, with smiles on their faces. The first chance of a cagey half fell to Bridcutt who saw his piledriver pushed onto the bar by Lewes keeper Kieron Thorp, much to the "oooohs" of the crowd on the Philcox Terrace. Then at the other end, on-loan Man Utd keeper Tomasz Kuszczak pulled out a Premier League save to deny Beckford's excellent free-kick. It looked like we would go into the break all square, but then Ashley Barnes continued his red-hot pre-season form by smashing the ball home from close range after Vincelot's pull back had eluded the Rooks defence. Half time saw the young Rooks beat the Seagulls in a penalty shoot out, although the keeper was a bit of a clown (well, a jester anyway) whilst I made some more tea. Apparently Gus loves PG over Tetley's and semi-skimmed over full fat if you are ever asked. Brighton had stated their intention to make 11 changes for the second half and the substitutes had headed next door to the bowling club to warm up, leading to a bizarre sight of fans outside the ground who had been peering in now getting a front row seat of LuaLua, Saltor and Agdestein going through their exercises. The second half saw Brighton step up the pace, using the width of the pitch to great effect. LuaLua started running at young Charlie Leach, causing him a few problems and it was no surprise when he set up the second goal when his run into the box was illegally ended by Hopkinson. LuaLua could take no further part in the game, reducing the Seagulls to ten men, but Hoskins made amends by slotting in the resultant penalty. Ten minutes to go and with that rare fiery ball in the sky disappearing behind cloud, Bruno Saltor set up Torben Agdestein to make the game safe. Agdestein thought he had scored a fourth a few minutes later when he rounded the Lewes keeper and hit the ball towards an empty net. However, Charlie Leach raced back and somehow kept the ball out and earnt a massive round of applause from the capacity crowd. There was still time for Lewes Player-Manager Simon Wormull to roll back the years with a thunderous strike from distance that had Brezovan beaten but it just flew over the bar. Full time and the capacity crowd filtered out of the ground happy. Now we could breathe a sigh of relief. The event had been fantastically executed and it had proved we had the capabilities to host big (in Non League terms) games. Yes, we could have done some things differently, but as we all sat in the office with a smile on our faces at weeks of hard work, Club Sec Kev piped up…."Oh, shit – I forgot to mention. Crystal Palace called earlier – they want to bring a first XI down on Friday night…" Only 72 hours to do it all over again! More photos from the evening can be found here.

Here is the Star Wars Easter cake that my wife Dianna and I made this year. We were discussing which character to base our cake design on, and what more fitting choice than R2-KT herself! She is a perfect Easter cake candidate with her pink coloring.
The chocolate candies surrounding the cake were made from Star Wars candy molds and include the characters Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, Stormtrooper, and Jedi Master Yoda.
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter and a great holiday weekend!

Consuming sufficient high-quality protein is essential for building muscle. Current recommendations are to consume a minimum of 0.8g of protein for each kg of body weight, however, this is really only applicable to the average sedentary individual. Current evidence shows that to support muscle development, protein intake is the key, therefore the recommended 0.8g per kg should be increased to 1.5-2.0g of protein per kg of body weight. For an 80 kg individual, that would equate to 120-160 grams of protein per day.
I can't predict what sort of results you'll see in that first year, but it can be pretty epic if you attack it right! Muscle growth might happen slower than you want, but I expect something different will happen along the way – you'll fall in love with this idea of building STRENGTH! In fact, getting hooked on progress, and strength training is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
How to do it: Lie flat on your back with your feet firmly planted on the floor, knees bent, as if you're doing a standard bridge. Keeping one foot fixed to the ground, lift the other up, keeping the bend in your knee. Drive your hips up toward the ceiling, driving through your planted leg and using the raised leg to keep your pelvis even and balanced. Don't let your non-working leg/side drop, Reames advises, and keep emphasizing the heel plant. Lower toward the ground, then repeat.
So how do you build a stronger backside? Squats are a good place to start. But if you really want to get your booty rock solid, it's a good idea to incorporate weights, resistance bands, stability balls and even foam rollers into your glute workout. Here are 50 butt exercises that will help you think outside of the box when it comes to squats, lunges, glute bridges, leg lifts and more.
(11) "you can't burn fat (lose weight) and build muscle at the same time" - you can. Protein builds muscle. A deficit loses weight. What you can't do is : You can't burn fat and store fat at the same time as you burn, then store. You can't lose weight and gain weight at the same time. BUT, you can do all this in a day. Ever heard "fat burning" stops if you eat carbs? This is because that body can't burn carbs and burn fat at the same time. It has to be one or the other. So if you are always eating, then you eventually hit a surplus, because the body is always storing fat. It can't even burn dietary fat and burn body fat at the same time. It's one or the other. What does this mean? Eating less = burning less = storing less. May be hard to understand over text, but's it's the same as: eat carbs = burn carbs = store carbs AND eat fats = burn fats = store fats AND eat carbs and fats = burn carbs and fats = store carbs and fats. Ever head "sugar burner" vs "fat burner". Well, which one are you eating more? Fats or Carbs? Bingo! Eat more carbs and you burn more carbs = sugar burner. Eat more fats and your burn more fats = fat burner. Make sense? Don't worry about losing weight and building muscle at the same time, just hit each angle. Protein for muscle. Deficit for weight loss via fat.
K. Aleisha Fetters, M.S., C.S.C.S., is a Chicago-based personal and online trainer. She has a graduate degree in health and science reporting from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and regularly contributes to Men's Health, Women's Health, USNews.com, TIME, and SHAPE. When she's not lifting something heavy, she's usually guzzling coffee and writing about the health benefits of doing so.
The first U.S. Women's National Physique Championship, promoted by Henry McGhee and held in Canton, Ohio in 1978, is generally regarded as the first true female bodybuilding contest—that is, the first contest where the entrants were judged solely on muscularity.[13] In 1980, the first Ms. Olympia (initially known as the "Miss" Olympia), the most prestigious contest for professionals, was held. The first winner was Rachel McLish, who had also won the NPC's USA Championship earlier in the year. The contest was a major turning point for female bodybuilding. McLish inspired many future competitors to start training and competing. In 1985, a movie called Pumping Iron II: The Women was released. It documented the preparation of several women for the 1983 Caesars Palace World Cup Championship. Competitors prominently featured in the film were Kris Alexander, Lori Bowen, Lydia Cheng, Carla Dunlap, Bev Francis, and McLish. At the time, Francis was actually a powerlifter, though she soon made a successful transition to bodybuilding, becoming one of the leading competitors of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
"Imagine you've fasted for over eight hours," he says. "At breakfast, you're firing your metabolism off really high. If you don't eat for another five hours, your metabolism starts to slow right down and you have to try and kickstart it again with your next meal. If you eat every two and a half to three hours, it's like chucking a log on a burning fire."
Do Belgian squats (or "single leg squats") with a dumbbell. Hold out in front of your chest a dumbbell using both hands. Standing in front of a bench, lift your right leg back so that it's parallel to the floor and resting comfortably on the bench. Bend into a squat using the left leg, so that the right knee almost hits the floor. Lift and repeat 3 x 8. Repeat using opposite leg.
Dips. You should be able to manipulate your bodyweight in space against the influence of gravity. If you can't perform simple movements such as pushups, dips, and chin-ups then you need to work on your relative strength. That being said, dips are an excellent muscle builder for the chest, triceps, and shoulders if they are progressively overloaded with weight.
In natural contests, the testing protocol ranges among organizations from lie detectors to urinalysis. Penalties also range from organization to organization from suspensions to strict bans from competition. It is also important to note that natural organizations also have their own list of banned substances and it is important to refer to each organization's website for more information about which substances are banned from competition. There are many natural bodybuilding organizations; some of the larger ones include: MuscleMania, Ultimate Fitness Events (UFE), INBF/WNBF, and INBA/PNBA. These organizations either have an American or worldwide presence and are not limited to the country in which they are headquartered.
People eat way too many carbs and keep their glycogen levels full for too long. They are always turning sugar into fat because they are always eating carbs. The body wants fats to make fat, not carbs. The body doesn't even like storing carbs as fat, that's because we have fat to do that. It's less stressful to store fat as fat rather carbs as fat. People are stressing themselves out by always eating carbs which always keep their glycogen levels full. They need to carb cycle so that they aren't gaining fat from BOTH fats and carbs. This is how combining fats and carbs in a meal CAN lead to more fat, only if glycogen is full.
Bodybuilding became more popular in the 1950s and 1960s with the emergence of strength and gymnastics champions, and the simultaneous popularization of bodybuilding magazines, training principles, nutrition for bulking up and cutting down, the use of protein and other food supplements, and the opportunity to enter physique contests. The number of bodybuilding organizations grew, and most notably the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) was founded in 1946 by Canadian brothers Joe and Ben Weider. Other bodybuilding organizations included the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), National Amateur Bodybuilding Association (NABBA), and the World Bodybuilding Guild (WBBG). Consequently, the male-dominated contests grew both in number and in size. Besides the many "Mr. XXX" (insert town, city, state, or region) championships, the most prestigious titles[according to whom?] were Mr. America, Mr. World, Mr. Universe, Mr. Galaxy, and ultimately Mr. Olympia, which was started in 1965 by the IFBB and is now considered the most important bodybuilding competition in the world.
(1) Body Fat is fat. You know how foods contain fat? Well, that fat when digested, {whatever fats not used for energy}, will get stored as body fat. Each macronutrient has a place to be stored. Fat (macronutrient) gets stored in our fat cells. They match. For anyone to say something otherwise is very misunderstood. People assume carbs equal fat right away.
Your questions kinda ties everything together. You are already aware of "nutrient density" which is AWESOME. This is important because I believe one food may be more "healthier" over another due to its "nutrient density". The other food is still healthy because it still contains nutrients, but the nutrients could be more dense…so this is why I think one food may be "healthier", while the other just isn't as "healthy". It's not, not healthy.. Make sense?
Yes, but I didn't start off with saying Keto, because Keto is a buzzword. You need to understand why Keto does what it does. I would have someone start with Keto for the reasons mentioned above, but I would not have them on it long. Carbs are not essential, but they are helpful. Especially, if someone is on Keto trying to build muscle. Or in just in a deficit. If anything, Atkins is where I would lead someone after doing Keto.
You may hear a clicking noise when you move your hip, but that sound is not necessarily a hip flexor issue. Siegrist says the clicking isn't generally the hip flexor alone and often comes from a moving part, like the joint. "Maybe there is a loose body in the joint or loose cartilage at the edge of the hip joint that is mechanically getting irritated," she says.

I learned from this to focus on the body weight exercises. I never understood why I could lift a lot of weight, but felt weak when it came to dips, pull ups, push ups etc. Normally I spend 2 hours in a gym: 20 min jogging, 80 min lifting, 20 min jogging, 5 days a week. After reading this I'm excited to incorporate HIIT training in addition to mobility training on my off days, because I think I was wasting a lot of time and effort. I can push way harder on lifting days without the jog beforehand, so I'll also be able to make the most of 60 minutes…
To do dips, place your hands at shoulder-width apart on a bench, with your body and feet stretched out in front of the bench. Slowly bend your elbows and lower your body down so that your butt nearly touches the floor. Lift back up with your arms to starting position; repeat, doing 3 x 8. If this isn't a high-intensity set for you, increase the resistance by lifting one foot off the floor.

Junior Dos Santos is a bad man. The amount of power that some behind the fastest hands in the heavyweight division are just scary. The amount of fights Dos Santos has won from the middle of the cage are second to none, and I don't see him trying to take this fight anywhere differently. If you want to know how to beat him, ask Velasquez. Force him towards the cage and make him fight from his back. That's another problem though, his 76% takedown avoidance makes it quite difficult to expose his weaknesses. Dos Santos will wear you down with his powerful jabs and combinations and won't even let you breathe in-between. Another reason why you can force Dos Santos towards the cage, his feet. He'll move you around before you can even think about moving him. He'll move in-and-out, land significant blows then finish you off. My advice for Junior Dos Santos would be to not fix what isn't broken. Miocic has a substantial wrestling background and will shoot a double when he sees you blink. If Dos Santos can keep this fight on his feet and make Miocic one-dimensional, this one will be over quickly.
Stipe Miocic has been fighting out of his mind lately. His last fight back on May 31st lasted only 35 seconds and ended by TKO. Miocic has a substantial wrestling background and has no problems against the cage or being on his back and keeping control of the fight. Both of these fights has very similar skill-sets when it comes to being in the center of the cage. Both has fast hands and like to move around to disrupt the others timing. the slight difference in how they move is that Miocic likes to circle rather than making lineral attacks. If Miocic can circle Dos Santos and disrupt his movement and throw off his timing, shoot a quick double, he can take control of this fight. This entire fight will not be fought on their feet and Miocic needs to take serious advantage of that. The more time Miocic can Dos Santos struggle trying to get up, the more tired Dos Santos will become making his combinations much less powerful. Also, don't think that Miocic trying to take shots will wear him out either. With his wrestling back, his conditioning is topnotch. My advice for Miocic would be to take shots, a lot of them. Keep making Dos Santos work to get up, and let him. Your hands are nearly as powerful and you can last much longer. Stick to your fight-plan, circle, jab, shoot, and repeat.
This is going to be one hell of a fight. Both of these fights have very similar skill sets and tendencies inside of the octagon. Dos Santos will obviously want to keep this match on his feet for as long as possible, blocking shoots taken by Miocic trying not to waste too much energy. Miocic will be taking shots on Dos Santos, many of them. He'll want to utilize his wrestling background to wear Dos Santos until possibly knocking him out. I guess the big question is whether the momentum by Miocic can subdue to drive for Dos Santos to have that one last shot at Velasquez. If you ask me, I think Dos Santos is just too much for Miocic to handle. Dos Santos will be refining his already phenomenal take-down defense and be preparing for the circular movement of Miocic. Dos Santos will get another shot as Velasquez, assuming Velasquez can get healthy.


Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas secured a perfect qualifying result for Mercedes as the Silver Arrows will start from the front of the grid at tomorrow's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Ferrari and Red Bull will follow on the next two rows on the grid.
As the sun was edging ever closer to the horizon, and track temperatures started dropping, qualifying kicked off with both Sauber and McLaren cars venturing out on track as soon as possible. Williams and Toro Rosso soon told their drivers to join the party, making use of a reasonably quiet track.
None of those surprised on their first laps, though it was Leclerc who was the fastest of these early runners. The top teams then only came out on track around 7 minutes after the start of the session, with both Ferraris ending up fastest. Hamilton was a close third after these first laps, but even with everybody on the hypersoft tyres, most opted to do several laps on a single set, indicating the tyres needed a bit of running to get up to temperature.
Both Ferraris for instance did two hot laps with one slow lap in between while both Mercedes included two slow laps, though some of that may have been due to traffic. Eventually, it meant that in Q1, Vettel, Bottas and Hamilton were within 0.053s.
Behind them, Alonso and Magnussen just managed to get through to Q2, contrary to Gasly. The Toro Rosso driver endured a big loss of power when accellerating out of the final corner, and a few turns later parked his car alongside the race track. This sealed the fate of both Toro Rosso's, Vandoorne and both Williams drivers.
Q2 kicked off with Hamilton and Bottas, soon followed by both Red Bulls, all on ultra soft tyres. Hamilton was very much on it, and set a time that no one came close to on their first attempts. In fact, the Brit was 7 tenths faster than Bottas while both Ferrari's were third and fourth. Ricciardo was 5th while Verstappen curiously ended up 10th and was very much in need of a better lap at close to the end of the session.
Times tumbled at the end, especially in the elimination zone, and Verstappen found himself 13th 1 minute from end end. He eventually went through comfortably by going second fastest, but he did so on the hyper soft tyres and might face a shorter first stint that his nearest competitors. The other Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo was on track at that time too, but while on his flying lap, he was told to slow down and abort his lap, either for an issue, or because the team was certain of Ricciardo making it through to Q3 with his lap on ultra soft.
Q3 was a close affair, with the top six less than 3 tenths apart, led by Hamilton, Vettel and Bottas. Grosjean, again best of the rest after his first attempt was at 9 tenths of the pace setter.
Hamilton recorded another improvement to the track record on his second outing, with soon Bottas improvinng as well to move up into second. Vettel was unable to match those times, despite a purple first sector and therefore ended up third, ahead of Raikkonen. Ricciardo will lead Red Bull's challenge this weekend, qualifying a tenth faster than Verstappen.
This put Grosjean in 7th at 1.4s, underlining the gap that currently exists between the top three teams and the rest of the pack.

Pope on prisons: No inmate should ever be deprived of hope
By FRANCES D'EMILIOJanuary 19, 2022 GMT
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis issued a plea on behalf of prison inmates Wednesday, saying they should never be deprived of hope and always be given the opportunity to redeem themselves.

What is a musician's response to the condition of the world? Do musicians have an obligation and an opportunity to serve the needs of the world with their musicianship? At a time of crisis for the classical music profession, with a changing commercial landscape, a shrinking audience base, and a contraction in the number of professional orchestras, how does a young musician construct a career today? Are we looking at a dying art form or a moment of reinvigoration? In this course we will develop a response to these questions, and we will explore the notion that the classical musician, the artist, is an important public figure with a critical role to play in society. The course will include inquiry into a set of ideas in philosophy of aesthetics; a discussion about freedom, civil society, and ways that art can play a role in readying people for democracy; discussion on philosophy of education as it relates to the question of positive social change; and an exploration of musical and artistic initiatives that have been particularly focused on a positive social impact. Guiding questions for this course inquiry will include: - How can classical music effect social change? - How has music made positive change in communities around the globe? - What can the field of classical music learn from other movements for social change? - How have educators and philosophers thought about the arts and their connection to daily contemporary life? Each class will explore one critical question through lectures, discussions, interviews, or documentaries.
This is exactly what I needed. I have upgraded from just having a passion for music to having a passion for what music can do to the society. I am a better leader. Thank you YALE, thank you Coursera!
I would prefer except from the peer-view assignments, that a teacher could view them also.
Creating Social Action
In this final lecture, we will discuss traditions of social action, and how artists work toward building civil society.

We close this course with a discussion about social action. We've considered artistic initiative so far that serve a humanitarian, a political, or a social need. But it's important to think about the potentially problematic dimensions of artistic service, and some of the pitfalls we'd do well to consider. What are the risks for instance, of engaging in artistic work, that has a larger social purpose in mind? What might be the negative implications of a social model built on artistic foundations and in particular, with classical music? How do we take these pitfalls into account, as we work toward using art for social action? To explore this question, I turn to Paulo Freire, the Brazilian educator and author, whose work was concerned with the question of education for liberation or education for empowered freedom, particularly in populations who lack access and voice in public dialogue or public life. It's helpful to think about Freire's contexts, to understand his influential work from 1968, Pedagogy Of The Oppressed. Freire was working in government and university leadership positions and projects to educate rural poor adults in Brazil, especially to be literate and thereby empowered in the political process. The projects were geared specifically toward rural populations that couldn't gain a stake in land, ownership rights, and political rights without literacy skills. So the literacy work was really meant to fundamentally improve their positions in society. However, when Freire started into this work, a couple of problems really emerged that were formative for his work. One was that the standard materials used to teach literacy, had no relevance to the lives of his adult learners. He realized there was this tremendous opportunity on the one hand to engage people's existing knowledge by using materials that related to their lived experience, rather than materials that had examples from lives that were completely different from theirs. But also there's this risk if that was not true, that people would be disengaged or maybe worse marginalized by the standard materials that they were using. The second big issue, was that Freire understood that if the goal was empowerment in the classroom, if they were really looking to engage learners in a new empowered freedom, that they had to rethink the traditional methods and traditional notions of authority in the classroom. If the agenda of the program was empowerment and empowering people to have a voice and a sense of agency in the political process, the classroom itself had to change. It had to rethink what might be thought of as an authoritarian educational situation, so that they weren't continually reinforcing this sense of hierarchy and an oppressive conditions, that he was in a larger scale trying to undo. But through his writings, he starts, before education, for considering the educational aspects, such form more fundamental work at the conditions of oppression, that keep underclasses like those he used working with, form opportunities to change their position in society. He writes that, ''The oppressed populations are often lead to understand that the barriers preventing them from growing and changing, are themselves fixed and unchangeable.'' Before going further into this though, let's stop and think about his concept of oppression, the word oppression as Freire uses it. He talks about the oppressed as those who lack the freedoms, the potential to realize themselves as humans. This may be due to racist or classist systems, it may be due to economic or political systems that exclude certain populations. I think it's important to understand that Freire is describing conditions that may seem invisible or may be internalized to the population he is working with. That there are conditions that because they've become the norm, have been internalized by all members of society, seen as entrenched by both for those who are deeply affected and even for those who are not. Therefore, his philosophy and methods for education, involve what he calls critical consciousness. A capacity to examine the conditions present in a person's life to fully understand system, the various systems that may seem extra permanent. Liberation, as Freire describes then, is a condition of people becoming aware and becoming eventually freed from the limited conditions in their lives or societies. He writes, "In order for the oppressed to be able to wage their struggle for their liberation, they must perceive the reality of oppression not as a closed world from which there is no exit, but as a limiting situation, which they can transform.'' Freire is clear, that the process of liberation is not one that happens to a person, but rather is a process that needs to be empowering, a process of deep inquiry or practice of dialogue, of reflection, and a search for the meaning of things. Before people can fight for intellectual or social liberation, there's an important period of learning and of critiquing. He says, ''A critical and liberating dialogue which presupposes action, must be carried on with the oppressed at whatever the stage of their struggle for liberation." Critical and liberating dialogue. The opposition or the forces that counter what he calls liberation, he describes as those who don't see the humanity or the integrity of people, but who rather see underclasses as unworthy in some ways, because of maybe inherent weaknesses. It really makes a distinction between a charitable action for instance, that's empty of respect for those who are served by that action or by the charity, and a true act of love which acknowledges the worth and humanness of the people being served. A real humanist he says, ''Can be identified more by his trust in the people, which engages him in their struggle, then by 1000 actions in their favor without their trust. ''The real humans can be identified more by his trust in the people, than by 1,000 actions that take place without trust." So with this philosophy as a backdrop, for we contrast two approaches to education. The banking method and the problem posing method. The banking method, what it describes as the banking method, we might recognize from a familiar or stereotypical formal traditional classroom environment, where the teacher has the knowledge and the students are empty vessels. The teacher banks knowledge into the students, filling up these vessels in a sense. In this banking method, the teacher's basic assumption about the students that they are empty, contributes to what he calls a dehumanizing of them. By not recognizing the humanness, the uniqueness, the particular perspectives and strengths and stories of the students, by not engaging the students existing knowledge and questions, the teacher may not only makes students feel less involved. But also teacher doesn't open the possibility that through education, students can develop a critical consciousness about the particular forces that make up their world and that may limit or press their lives. Clearly, the other kind of education, the problem posing method that Freire advocates for involves dialogue, collective inquiry together with teacher and student, where the teacher is a co-learner with a student, where the teacher sees the students perspectives as important to their collective understanding of the world around them. Freire makes the point that in such a process of mutual quest for information or mutual project to discover the conditions of their shared world, the teacher as well as the student grows. He says, "For the humanist, revolutionary educator her efforts must coincide with those of the students to engage in critical thinking and the quest for mutual humanization. Her efforts must be imbued with a profound trust in people and their creative power. To achieve this, they must be partners of the students in their relations with them." He later says, "The problem-posing educator." Again the contrast between that banking and the problem posing. "The problem-posing educator constantly re-forms his reflections in the reflection of the students. The students no longer docile listeners are now critical co-investigators in dialogue with the teacher. The teacher presents the material to the students for their consideration, and reconsiders his or her earlier considerations as the students express their own." This problem-posing method refers to the idea that the mutual examination of issues in the world that can bring students and teachers into a position of inquiry together. That this kind of educational program works in a non-hierarchical way. By continually examining their world and the conditions particular to the people in the classroom, like students and teachers, people have the best chance of understanding the reality that's affecting them all. Then the best chance of transforming that reality when necessary. In problem-posing education he says, "People develop their power to perceive critically the way they exist in the world with which and in which they find themselves. They come to see the world not as a static reality, but as a reality in process, in transformation." I think this is such a key word, not a static reality. But the teacher isn't presenting something finished but really it's always changing, it's always on-going. There's always something to discover depending on what day it is and who the students are in front of them. So let's circle back now to what this means for artistic service in the world. There are several questions that I find important for our discussion in this course. As we think about artists, serving people affected by limiting social or political issues like those we've studied so far, be their conditions of war, limits on speech, regional conflict, or entrenched urban poverty. How does an artist view the people they serve? How do we think about artistic service and how can we use Freire's perspectives to make sure that we as artists you those we're serving not for the demographics statistics that so often define people. But for their uniqueness and their contributions. As artists look to understand and to contribute to an issue, can their work be a dialogical? Involving the people served through dialogue so that together, artists and their students or their audiences begin to work together to understand the conditions of what Freire would call oppression. Then, identify how the art may provide an intervention or a helpful tool to help people move beyond those limits. Is there a way that when we're teaching as in the urban education projects we've discussed, that the art forms aren't presented as fixed and unmovable. But rather are presented as dynamic and responsive to various students who were involved. In classical music which is my discipline, this presents many important and difficult questions. To be fury for instance, do we need to abandon the repertoire of classical music in favor of developing new materials or new repertoire that relates to the student's world and their culture. Or another hand, do we incorporate the repertoire and the body of techniques that are part of this musical tradition but approach students with choices, help them to identify links between their lived experiences and the music, help them to live within the art as Maxine Greene would say, in such a way that they can make connections to their lives and their families traditions. Or maybe is the answer somewhere in between. That the art form needs to continually evolve to account for the various cultures and participants and students, and that we need to find ways to continually allow people to identify with the existing repertoire and perhaps in fresh ways. I provide these questions as important points to consider, but not necessarily as finished answers. The pivoting from this, will now explore Robert Greenleaf's ideas of servant leadership, which pick up on some of these same threads and help us conceive of roles for artists serving an important new ways.

Two nabbed for attacking Togo football team
Dec 17, 2010 | International news | 0 |
Two men accused of involvement in the deadly attack on Togo's football team ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations in January have gone on trial in Angola.
The men have denied the charges of murder and armed rebellion.
The rebel Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda said it carried out the attack that killed two people.
The incident overshadowed the football tournament which was supposed to boost Angola's image after its three-decade civil war that ended in 2002.
As the bus made its way through the Angolan province of Cabinda, armed men are said to have leapt from the bushes and opened fire.
The machine-gun attack was reported to have lasted 20 minutes.
Within hours senior members of the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (Flec), said they had masterminded the shooting.
Days later, Joo Antnio Puati, who is from the Republic of Congo, and Daniel Simba, an Angolan were arrested in connection with the attack.
Eleven months on, the men's lawyers at the court in Cabinda said that both men denied the charges and any links to Flec.
Mr Simba, a peasant farmer, told the court that he did not know anything about the attack until the soldiers arrived at his home nearby to arrest him.
The trial has now been adjourned until Monday.
Cabinda, home to most of Angola's oil supplies, is separated from the rest of the country by a small strip of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It has been at the centre of an independence struggle for decades.
A peace deal was signed in 2006, but factions of Flec have continued to carry out attacks in the province, their most recent last month.

For all the children, it kind of naturally spurts our, so easily, so naturally, and really spontaneously.
I wonder why then, in malayalam, they invented this really tough 'Acchan' word for fathers. Tamilians have it easy - 'appa' seems easy enough.
Despite this I was really eager to hear her next word. Hoping that I would hear the magic 'cha' sometime soon.
And then yesterday, the phone rang. At the second ring, she said -'fone'. Yup, 'fone'.

For example, let's say you inhaled influenza virus. Just because these germs are present, does not mean you will get the flu. There are several factors involved such as the health of your lungs, the vitality of your immune system, and your overall health.
Your Meridian channels control the flow of healing energy throughout your entire body, including your organs. The function (health) of your lungs, and the strength of your immune system all depend upon the quality, quantity and balance of Qi which flows within your meridian channels. The "true cure" of disease is simply NOT to kill germs, but to reestablish and build up the body's amount of healing Qi. This will ultimately provide the adequate amount of Qi in order to restore the integrity of your meridian and organ system. Germs simply cannot attack a strong and healthy body.

Q: Forms get separated when Top Form is unminimized on top of another window I have 2 forms, a top form (form1) and a bottom form (form2) I created a semi transparent effect by setting the opacity of form2 to 0.7 and aligning form1 and form2.

Q: Create bitmap image from camera buffer in Windows 10 UWP I am trying to create a new UWP C# BitmapSource image from an unmanaged memory buffer (IntPtr) from a USB camera.  The code below works fine in Windows 8, and I successfully ported it to WPF, but now I need to collect these raw images from the camera using Windows 10 UWP (latest Fall Creators Update is fine) and UWP does not support BitmapSource.Create.
