Coach Dragan Jović spoke of "a great victory for our club, our city, our country" after FK Sarajevo eliminated PFC Levski Sofia to edge within sight of the UEFA Europa League play-offs.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Sofia, early goals from Said Husejinović and Asmir Suljić flipped the tie in the Bosnian side's favour, though the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League contenders – and UEFA Cup quarter-finalists – changed the mood again before half-time with a Basile de Carvalho penalty. As it stood, Ilian Iliev's side were winning the tie on away goals, but former SV Werder Bremen midfielder Husejinović set up a third qualifying round tie against FK Zeta, scoring on 62 minutes to make it 3-1 on the night.
"We started brilliantly in the first half," said coach Jović. "But after scoring two great goals we lost our concentration. We made a lot of mistakes, and Levski punished us. But after half-time we played well again, and this is a great victory for our club, our city, our country. This is gift for our fans. They helped us a lot. What can we promise for the next game? Well, we will fight again until the last seconds. We have already pulled off an unbelievable result and will enjoy our next matches."
Goalscorer Suljić, 20, added: "We were up against it after we went 2-0 up and Levski could have scored plenty of times. We were lucky that half-time came when it did. We talked a lot about our tactics for the second half and we promised to give it all we had on the pitch. Full credit to Husejinović who scored a great winning goal. We will be celebrating this victory for a couple of days, for sure. If we play like that in our upcoming matches, we could even earn a place in the group stage."
Montenegrin side Zeta stand between the Bordo-bijeli (Maroon-Whites) and a place in the play-off draw on 10 August. Bosnia and Herzegovina has never had a club in the group stage of a major European club tournament, but Sarajevo – who won two domestic titles since independence to match the two they won in the days of the former Yugoslavia – could be in line to break that duck, despite only finishing fourth in the domestic league in 2011/12. They eliminated Hibernians FC of Malta in the first qualifying round.
Levski's exit, meanwhile, concluded a miserable evening for Bulgaria, whose four European representatives this season have all bowed out. Coach Iliev took the blame for Levski's performance. "I am guilty of this," he said. "Why? I have spent a lot of time with these players but obviously couldn't get it through to them that this was an important game. There is a bad atmosphere – no one is looking each other in the eye. I have never seen anything like this. Of course I am disappointed. It is a disaster."

An artist impression of what the new school at Wintringham Park could look like.
Detailed plans for a new primary school aimed at accommodating hundreds of pupils in an expanding area of St Neots have been unveiled.
Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) is proposing to build the school, which will include a pre-school, at Wintringham Park on the eastern edge of the town.
Preparatory work, including infrastructure and landscaping for the 2,800 homes, has already begun.
Building work will start in the spring and some of the homes could be occupied before Christmas.
Some of the money for the new school has come from Section 106 funding from the developer, Urban & Civic.
If approved, the school will have a three-class pre-school for children aged from 0-4 years, and places for pupils up to Year 6.
The county council will fund extra places to "address wider educational needs".
"It is estimated the total number at full enrolment will be 708 students and 60 teachers and support staff," according to the planning document.
It also says: "The delivery of the primary school will have lasting benefits for Wintringham Park. It will provide a positive learning environment for pupils, and be a hub for the new community providing facilities outside of hours.
"The high quality, sustainable, colourful design of the school will contribute a positive key building to the development.
The proposed school is the first of two planned for the location and will be a two-storey building with classrooms arranged around a central open 'forest' courtyard.
A hall, library, offices and specialist teaching spaces are also planned for the school, which is forecast to open in 2020.
Playgrounds, including playing courts, green oval sports track, a football/rugby pitch and two mini football pitches are also proposed for the new development.

May the feeling of Friendship . . . be like the electric current which now unites our lands, and links our destiny with yours! May our hearts always beat together; and with one pulse--one Purpose, of Peace and Good-Will, we yet shall see ALL NATIONS speaking our Language, blessed with our Liberty, and led by that spirit of Love and Justice which leads to the only true happiness and Glory of Nations!" John Bull: "Happy to see and greet you, Jonathan! You feel like 'bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh!' You have grown to be a tall and sturdy man--quite as big as your Father! Great times these, my boy! We won't think of quarreling any more. I have grown too wise for that; and I hope we will both agree to let by-gones be by-gones! Henceforth we treat each other as equals, and only strive which shall do most in making 'all the world and the rest of Mankind' (as one of your good old Presidents once said) realize 'How good and pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.'" - Library of Congress

The forestry industry is an essential part of Luodong. In the past, it was the Taiping Forest Area that provided impetus for the town's growth. The Luodong Forestry Culture Park was formerly used as Taipingshan's Luodong Branch, equipped with sawmills, lumber yards, an agency office, and workers' dormitories. Today, the culture park still reserves a complete set of old industry facilities, early village buildings, storage units and transport machinery - they are the living artefacts of Taipingshan's forestry past. With the development of the Taipingshan Forest Area, sometime later Luodong emerged as a timber city and the industrial and commercial hub of Yilan.
Taipingshan's forestry industry began in 1905, with the Forestry Agency of Japan drawing plans to harvest the area's native cypress forests. A dragging track was built by laborers to pull logs up to a timber processing ground by the Duowang River. The log would then be transported out of town through the Langyan River. In 1921, the agency purchased a railway from the Taiwan Sugar Factory and adapted it for transporting timber. The railway was 36.95km long, stretching from the timber processing ground to Tiansongpi, Waiziwai, and Zhulin Station. From then on, felling of trees was carried out on an immense scale and such continued for 68 years. Taipingshan stood alongside Alishan and Bahsienshan as the three largest forest areas during the Japanese Occupation, and its scale of felling was the greatest of all.
The government restructured related policies in 1982 and the forestry industry started to decline. Taipingshan also ceased to fell trees. Between the years of 1994 and 2001, the Third Luodong Town Urban Planning Review demarcated the Luodong Forest Area as a "special forestry industry culture site." In 2004, the Forestry Bureau unveiled a plan to create the Luodong Forestry Culture Park. In 2009, the park was officially opened to the public. In fact, since in 2004, the Ministry of Culture has successively listed Japan's agency office, director's residence, laborers' club, old vehicle inspection garage, staff dormitory, fortress, and log storage pool as the country's historical assets. In 2012, the whole site was listed as a cultural landscape area.
The forestry exhibition area is positioned at the core of the park, and it presents a nostalgic look at the operations and facilities used to get lumber from the Taipingshan Forest Area during the Japanese Occupation. This area is further divided into an outdoor and an indoor exhibition space. Objects from the forest area that are now on display in the outdoor exhibition space include a railway car from the forest railway, the old Zhulin Station building, log-transporting train tracks, steam engines, passenger cars, an unloading platform, a log storage pool, a train wash platform, a fortress, and a truck wash area. The indoor exhibition space is composed of old warehouses and dormitories. They have been refurbished for holding educational events and displaying historical documents of the forestry industry.
The old log storage pool retains elements that reminds visitors of its past. "Floating islets" have been installed in the pool for wildlife to inhabit on. Frogs and fireflies also thrive and breed in the summer, making the pool an ecologically diverse place. Surrounding the pool are two paths, the Wood Shavings Trail and the Round-the- Pool Trail. The Round-the- Pool Trail features a birdwatching path and birdwatching wall, convenient for observing wild birds in action.
Moving forward, the Luodong Forestry Culture Park will align with trends of urban planning to give this old forest area a new look. The log storage pool and the Zhulin Station will be taken as the focus for development. The site's overall expansion will orientate towards the concept of "preserving the memory of the forest area while introducing new urban planning concepts." The Luodong Forestry Culture Park will serve as the town's main green space and where people can recall the past of Taipingshan. It shall even be an important marker of the culture of Luodong's forestry industry.
If the closing days fall on national holidays, they will be postponed to the next days. Closed on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

I haven't written in a long time due to my slight change of interest into cinema technologies and cognitive psychology. If you are wondering how these two relate to each other then I present you: The future! So, many disciplines emerge and create hybrid genres; cinema and virtual reality is definitely one member of the new generation.
Many systems try to converge user with the product and cinema is not far behind. As Oculus VR is taking over like a storm after so many years of its release, researchers try to find ways to engage audience into the cinematic environment that people are immersed in. I know its hard to hard how immersive cinema is considering many aspects of virtual reality's "reality" however who doesn't get excited,sad, happy or scared while watching a film? Think about the narrative after you come out from the theatre. Yes, so I do say cinema is immersive yet the presence factor comes into account only in 3D. That is to argue in another post… However, there is a very thin line between a user and audience which needs to be acknowledged. The audience is passive, there is a communication between the film and audience yet there is no input from the audience, there is no contribution into the production that allows them to engage!
That's our biggest wish….We all say: ' I wish I was there', 'I wish I had a prince charming' ,or 'I wish I was in that cyborg army to defend the world against Martians'. There will soon be a technology to allow audience to join in the scenario and be able to change the narrative, yet still being fixed to a scenario. What do you think? Would you like to be the protagonist of your favorite film?

2002 Oil Spill May Shed Light on Health Problems for Deepwater Workers
By Amanda Gardner
MONDAY, Aug. 23 (HealthDay News) -- The fate of fishermen involved in cleaning up a massive oil spill off the northwest coast of Spain in 2002 could shed light on potential health problems facing workers involved in the recent Deepwater disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

Authors reporting in the Aug. 24 online issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine found that Spanish fishermen exposed to the earlier oil spill had higher rates of respiratory symptoms. Although their lung function was not significantly different from fishermen who had no contact with the spill, the exposed individuals were more likely to have biomarkers for lung disease. And compared to their counterparts who were not exposed to the oil spill, a higher proportion of exposed fishermen also showed chromosomal abnormalities in the immune cells known as lymphocytes, which the authors conjecture might be a harbinger of later cancer.
Although it's not at all clear what the long-term or even mid-term effects of the Deepwater disaster are likely to be, people involved in the clean-up at least need to be aware of potential risks, experts noted.
"When you have this massive of a spill, the number of people working out there have to be aware of the potential effects of being immersed in a hot, petroleum-rich environment where people are inhaling fumes," said Dr. Jeff Kalina, associate medical director of the emergency department at The Methodist Hospital in Houston.
The authors of the Spanish paper followed 501 fishermen who had been exposed during the clean-up of 67,000 tons of bunker oil off Galicia, Spain, comparing their health to 177 non-exposed fishermen two years after the spill.
Oil-exposed fishermen were 8% more likely to have lower respiratory tract symptoms than their non-exposed counterparts. Some also had indications that their airways were trying to heal themselves, indicating some type of previous injury.
Not surprisingly, fishermen who had had more exposure to fumes and chemicals were more likely to exhibit problems than those who had had less contact. The same appears to be coming true in the Deepwater episode.
Still, there were many differences between the two spills, so any comparisons with the 50,000 workers who have been toiling in and near Deepwater need to be taken with a grain of salt, experts noted.
For one thing, the earlier spill involved a very different type of oil.
"I think the two events were actually very, very different as far as human exposure was concerned, the reason being that the Spanish spill involved bunker fuel, which is a thoroughly nasty mixture of petroleum ingredients that has a lot of volatile components," said Dr. Arch Carson, director of the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
Moreover, Carson added, in Spain, "it was fresh oil on the surface of the water that actually washed onto the beaches, and most of the people were exposed to fresh oil."
In the Gulf Coast, he pointed out, most of the oil reaching shore is extremely weathered or in the form of tar balls or asphalt. "Most of the volatile stuff is gone," he said.
Differences between the two events are likely compounded by "the fact that this oil came from a mile down and had to travel through miles of water before it got to surface," Carson explained. "That may sound trivial but in actuality it's very important because moving through that long a water column actually strips quite a bit of components from the oil, and they dissolve in the water."
Also, it's not clear which, if any, dispersants were used in the earlier episode.
A lot of the health troubles already seen in the Gulf have been attributed to dispersants that have been used, said Dr. Carl Boethel, an assistant professor of internal medicine and section chief of pulmonary medicine at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.
But with both spills, much is still unknown.
"With any type of exposure to any type of chemical, we're still learning so much about all of this," Boethel said. "How do we take this, learn from it and make it better?"

Your heart to serve God with holy abandon. In some ways God is calling you out of your own personal Egypt. There was comfort and security back there. There was a predictable path back there. The path out of Egypt and into the Promised Land will not be easy. There are hot, dry stretches of life along the way, and sometimes the people of God turn aside while you are busy seeking God on the mountain.
God always calls us first to Himself, then into His plan. God calls you to trust and obedience often before He grants you understanding of the details. Your faith will be stretched before it is strengthened.
You are not alone. We are building connection points for our New England church planting wives to meet other CP wives, to be encouraged by those who walk the path ahead of you, to find prayer support and to learn how to lean into God. We also hope that you will share opportunities and resources with everyone as you encounter something great.
Facebook group: New England Church Planting Wives is a place to hear from other wives who have walked the path before you, to ask questions and to grab some encouragement. Resource postings will let you in on great opportunities available to you.
Regional Network Groups: Each geographic area has a network leader who will plan regular times for you to gather online or in person. Church Planting Wives Networks are tailored the needs of each group so each will function differently according to their own schedules, local opportunities and of course the wonderful New England weather.
Connecting: If you aren't sure how to connect please write to me at jjackson@bcne.net and I'll be happy to make the introductions.


The last few days a new idea took place in my brain, and I could not shake it. I decided to take it a little more seriously and ask my visitors about their feeling.
The idea that's been lingering in my mind is , following the referee camp in Berlin at Easter , to hold a preseason camp somewhere during the offseason, with options to optimally prepare the new season.
1. Would you be interested in such a camp somewhere in Europe?
2. What's the top3 things I should really arrange in order to make it the best referee camp you ever been to??

Eric Miller focus their research investigations within the area of transportation modelling and simulation.
Professor Eric Miller is a well-known and highly regarded pioneer in the development and application of agent-based microsimulation model systems in high-performance computing environments. As director of the University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute (UTTRI), his research is centered in the implementation of activity-based travel models for use in operational practice. This includes the development of integrated transportation-land use models that permit the analysis of the two-way interaction between transportation systems and urban form. His work serves to improve urban transportation best practices and policy decision-making and, thereby improves the quality of life in urban settings.
Professor Miller has also played a key role in establishing the Data Management Group (DMG), which provides data to government agencies, private sector partners working for government, and university researchers in support of a wide variety of travel behaviour analyses and modelling activities. He was also instrumental in the creation of the Travel Modelling Group (TMG), a research consortium that seeks to provide a forum and mechanism for inter-agency collaboration that will lead to improved travel modelling practice for all. Current GTHA transportation agency partners in TMG include Metrolinx, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, the Cities of Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga and the Regions of Durham, York, Peel and Halton. Professor Miller currently serves as TMG's Research Director.
My main area of research is the development of a comprehensive, integrated, microsimulation-based software environment for modelling urban transportation and land-use systems. Development of the Integrated Land Use, Transportation, Environment (ILUTE) modelling system is a multi-year, multi-university undertaking, involving researchers from Calgary, Laval and McMaster Universities, led by our research team at the University of Toronto. Microsimulation involves the modelling of the behaviour of individual "actors" within the urban system (persons, households, firms, vehicles, etc.). Overall system behaviour (population and employment distributions, transportation flows by mode, etc.) is then the sum of the behaviours of all the individuals within the system. While computationally intensive, microsimulation holds the promise of providing more accurate, more policy sensitive estimates of travel demand than current conventional modelling techniques.
Development of the ILUTE modelling system involves state-of-the-art object-oriented programming methods, development and implementation of a wide variety of behavioural sub-models, use of a variety of novel data collection procedures to obtain the dynamic, micro-level behavioural data required to develop these sub-models, and a wide variety of other individual research projects suitable for student involvement at the bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. levels.
In parallel with my more formal modelling efforts, I also am involved in the empirical analysis of the relationship between urban form, transportation system configuration and the energy efficiency/environmental sustainability of urban transportation systems. This work involves the statistical analysis of both observed and modelled travel behaviour, as well as the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for the analysis and display of spatial data.
Over the past number of years I have developed GTAMODEL, a multimodal, regional transportation modelling system for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This four-stage modelling system is used by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and other GTA planning agencies to analyze and forecast travel demands in the GTA. On-going evolutionary development of this EMME/2-based modelling system provides the opportunity for student research topics in a variety of areas including trip generation, distribution and mode choice modelling, for both work and non-work purposes.
Cities are "problems in organized complexity" (Jacobs, 1961). This course will explore this theme and its implications for city engineering and management in terms of: introduction to complex systems theory; exploration of cities as systems (physical, economic, social, etc.); holistic and reductionist approaches to 'a science of cities'; approaches to city planning and design in the face of complexity; challenges to sustainable design; and decision-making under uncertainty.
Registration in this course is reserved for MEngCEM students. Other students wishing to register must request permission from the Office of Student Services.
The land use - transportation interaction is the focus of this course. Basic concepts underlying urban spatial processes are introduced. Land use forecasting models used to project future land use (principally population and employment distributions) for input into transportation planning studies are presented. Models reviewed include the Lowry Model, econometric-based models and urban simulation techniques. The remainder of the course deals with the qualitative and quantitative assessment of impacts of major transportation facilities on land use patterns. A term project dealing with the analysis of the impact of a current transportation proposal within the Greater Toronto Area on adjacent land use constitutes an important component of the course work.

Theories of Cosmology; our Ever Changing Understanding of our Universe
Where did our Universe come from?
Will it come to an end?
Do other Universes really exist?
How are universes created?
These are just some of the questions that science has been asking for a very long time. Some of our greatest minds have tried to tackle these questions. Minds such as Stephen Hawkings , Albert Einstein, Brian Greene give us views into the wonders of answering such questions.
But as been once said, "The only constant is change!" and like everything, Cosmology is constantly growing and changing in its concepts. As new discoveries take place, we evolve our theories and adjust our science to account for the new discoveries.
This is an exciting and ever changing and challenging field. New discoveries happen all the time and we find out more about our universe and other universe's with each discovery.
My writings are based on Science, but obviously are Fiction. But it takes imagination to come up with new theories and you may just be the one that gives science the next great theory of everything.
Join my imaginiation and perhaps it will give you a step into understanding our magnificient reality.

Q: Find theta notation of the following while loop I have the homework question:

*

*Find a theta notation for the number of times the statement x = x + 1 is executed. (10 points).

i = n
while (i >= 1)
{
   for j = 1 to n
   {
      x = x + 1
   }
   i = i/2
}

This is what I have done:
Ok first let's make it easier. We will fist find the order of growth of:
while (i >= 1)
{
   x = x + 1
   i = i/2
}

that has order of growth O(log(n))  actually log base 2
the other inner for loop will execute n times therefore the algorithm should be of order:
O(log(n)*n)

The part where I get confused is that I am supposed to find theta notation NOT big-O. I know that theta notation is suppose to bound the function on the upper and lower limit. Will the correct answer be Theta(log(n)*n)?
I have found the answer in this link but I don't know how you get to that answer. Why they claim that the answer is Theta(n) ?

A: You should now prove it is also Omega(nlogn).
I won't show exactly how, since it is homework - but it is with the same principles you show O(nlogn).  You need to show [unformally explnation:] that the asymptotic behavior of the function, is growing at least as fast as nlogn. [for big O you show it is growing at most at the rate of nlogn].
Remember that if a function is both O(nlogn) and Omega(nlogn), it is Theta(nlogn) [and vise versa]
p.s. Your hunch is true, it is easy to show it is not Omega(n), and thus it is not Theta(n)
p.s. 2: I think the author of the other answer confused with a different program:
i = n
while (i >= 1)
{
   for j = 1 to i //NOTE: i instead of N here!
   {
      x = x + 1
   }
   i = i/2
}

The above program is indeed Theta(n), but it is different from the one you have provided.

A: Rephrasing your code fragment in a more formal way, so that it could be represented easily using Sigma Notation:
for (i = n; i >= 1; i = i/2 ) {
    for j = 1; j <= n; j ++) {
        x = x + 1; // instruction of cost 'c'
    }
}

We obtain:

A: As @amit mentions I already have the upper limit of the function and that is Big-O which it actually is O(n*lgn). if I plot a table of that function I will get something like:
n   n*lng
1   0
2   2
3   4.754887502
4   8
5   11.60964047
6   15.509775
7   19.65148445
8   24
9   28.52932501
10  33.21928095

because that is big-O then that means that the real function will be bounded by those values. In other words the real values should be less than the values at the table. for example taking a point for instace when n=9 we know that the answer should be less than or equal to 28.52932501 by looking at the table
So now we are missing to find Omega and that is the other bound. I think that the lower bound function should be  Omega(n)  and then we will get the table
n   Omega(n)
1    1
2    2
3    3
4    4
5    5
6    6
7    7
8    8
9    9
.......

so that will be the other bound. If we take again point for example where n = 9 again then that will give us 9. that means that our real function should give us a value greater or equal to 9. based on our big-O function we also know that it should be les than or equal to 28.52932501

Lodging Resistance
February 22, 2017 February 22, 2017 by Nico Santangelo, posted in News
Protest leads governor to alter lodge proposal
NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK – After public outcry, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is reconsidering his proposal to build a lodge on Goat Island.
The lodge was announced during Cuomo's State of the State address on Jan. 9, as part of the new Buffalo Billion Squared project. The lodge is meant to give tourists more to do in the off season.
"We want to see a world class destination developed on Goat Island," said Cuomo during a ribbon cutting for the DoubleTree in Niagara Falls on Jan. 23. "Empire State Development is going to put out a request for proposals for a lodge, and more recreation activity on this side of the Falls."
The project was immediately met with scrutiny by locals. An online petition by resident Ken Cosentino asking Cuomo to halt the project, and instead give the money to the city of Niagara Falls, has gained over 880 signatures. Cosentino argues that the lodge would not only destroy the natural beauty of the Olmstead designed state park, but the city would see an even greater decrease in tax revenue as a result of the lodge being built on state owned land.
"Niagara Falls is on the brink of a war," said Cosentino on a video posted to his YouTube channel. Cosentino also claimed that Mayor Paul Dyster was ignoring the citizens' outcry against the project.
Gov. Cuomo defended the lodge during a press conference in Williamsville on Feb. 16. Cuomo stated that the lodge would fill the new hotels being constructed in Niagara Falls, and reiterated the need for more activities near the Falls.
Niagara Falls City Councilman Ezra Scott Jr. released a public statement criticizing the lodge for competing with the city for revenue.
Councilman Ken Tompkins published an open letter to Cuomo in the Niagara Gazette.
"As a member of the Niagara Falls City Council, let me assure you this is not a project that will have any positive impact on our city and economic potential," said Tompkins in the letter. "In fact, I see it having quite the opposite effect in that it will benefit one vendor and the state. Further, no matter where it's located, it will permanently destroy the natural beauty of a designated Olmsted Park."
Tompkins also claimed that Mayor Dyster was attempting to justify the project.
In response to the continued outcry, Dyster released a public statement on Feb. 18 suggesting that the location of the lodge has not been determined.
"Goat Island is only one of several locations that could be considered as an option for a lodge," said Dyster. "I am confident that we can find a location that residents and visitors alike will find more suitable." Dyster explained that the Governor's office has assured him that the Goat Island lodge project will be up for public discussion.
Opposition against the project reached a fever pitch when both the Niagara Falls City Council and Niagara County legislature proposed resolutions against the lodge. Councilwoman Kristen Grandinetti, who pulled a similar resolution in favor of the new one, said that she felt that the lodge was being put in the wrong place.
The continued opposition against the lodge led to a change of stance for Cuomo. During a two hour public hearing on Feb. 21, councilwoman Grandinetti received a text message from the governor's office stating the project location might be changed.
The governor is now seeking development proposals for other areas in addition to Goat Island.

NO MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO !
NO "MOSQUES" next to 9/11 Memorial Site – NO Cordoba House (mosque)
Only you can increase those numbers, erecting a wall of solidarity to block the Ground Zero Mosque. Will you do it, or will you sit as a silent observer while Islam erects its symbol of triumph over the bones of our fallen heroes ?
July 9, 2010 - Posted by	dajjal | Ground Zero	| Codoba House, Facebook, Ground Zero Mosque
Army Of God, Christian Patriot Movement and Christian Identity are all terrorist Christian organisations operating around America. I presume I can count on the support of Sarah Palin, and the Fox News worshiping lunatics who are protesting against this Islamic Centre in New York, whenever Christians wish to build a Christian Church, or school, or centre, anywhere near the spot in which an abortion clinic was targeted by Christian terrorists?
1984 – Abortion Clinic in Pensacola, on Christmas Day bombed by Christian fundamentalists who called the attack a gift to Jesus on his birthday.
1993 – Shelley Shannon convicted of shooting Dr George Tiller, and later convicted of bombings and arson against Abortion Clinics. Three more people shot dead by Christian Fundamentalists. Dr David Gunn and Dr George Patterson shot dead by Christian Fundamentalists.
1994 – Two receptionists at Clinics in Massachusetts killed by Christian Fundamentalist. Five others wounded in attack.
1997 – Dr Gandell of New York is badly injured by glass when his home in New York is fired upon by Christian Fundamentalists.
1998 – Bomb in clinic in Alabama kills Security guard Robert Sanderson and blasts one eye out of a nurse named Emily Lyons…… by Christian Fundamentalists. Three people badly injured when acid was poured into the entrance of a Clinic in Miami. Dr. Barnett Slepian shot to death at his home, by Christian Fundamentalist.
2000 – Clinic in New Hampshire set on fire, causes $20,000 worth of damage. Thankfully no one injured.
2001 – Planned Parenthood Clinic in South Dakota set fire to by Christian Fundamentalist. The Clinic also received a letter with white powder in it, with the message "You have been exposed to anthrax. … We are going to kill all of you."
2005 – Molotov Cocktail thrown at Clinic, everyone managed to escape unharmed. Christian Fundamentalists to blame.
2006 – David McMenemy drives his car into Edgerton Women's Care Center, which he wrongly believed was performing abortions; he then takes hostages and douses the lobby in gasoline, setting it on fire.
2007 – A huge bomb is placed in a clinic in Austen, Texas. A Bomb disposal team manage to secure it, and no one is injured. Christian Fundamentalist to blame.
Since 1977, Christian Terrorism has claimed seven lives, 17 attempted murders, three kidnappings, 152 assaults, 305 completed or attempted bombings and arsons, 375 invasions, 482 stalking incidents, 380 death threats, 618 bomb threats, 100 acid attacks, and 1,254 acts of vandalism, according to the National Abortion Federation. Where is the outrage? Why aren't Americans worried about this? Because they're fickle, hypocritcal, fear mongering imbeciles. That's why.
The only way to defeat the ignorance of people like the American Right Wing, and Islamic Extremists, is to join the moderates on both sides together. Projects like this, acts to knock down the barriers that the Bush Administration thrived on, and what Sarah Palin continues to need in order to survive politically because without fear and hate the American Right Wing really is nothing.

Exactly where in the New Testament does Jesus Christ preach and exemplify terrorism? I disrespectfully demand that you specify the New Testament Book, Chapter & Verse containing the functional equivalents of 3:151, 8:12, 8:57, 8:60, 33:26, 569:2 & 59:13.
Muslims engaging in terrorism do so in obedience to Allah, in emulation of Moe. Christians do it, on a much smaller scope and scale, in contravention of the teaching and example of Jesus.

Gordon Brown and John McDonnell put differences aside for Brexit scrap
Written by Sebastian Whale on 16 June 2016 in Diary
The pair appeared in Manchester today nearly 10 years after McDonnell tried to scupper Brown's leadership bid
Former adversaries Gordon Brown and John McDonnell today joined forces as Labour steps up it efforts to persuade its traditional supporters to reject leaving the EU.
The pair claimed that staying in the bloc would leave British households around £1,300-a-year better off - and that quitting could see a return to the "industrial wastelands" of the 1980s.
Their joint appearance in Manchester comes nearly 10 years after McDonnell tried to challenge the then chancellor for the Labour leadership after Tony Blair stood down in 2007.
Brown praised the shadow chancellor as a "campaigner for social justice", before adding: "I think it's fair to say John was also shadowing me when I was chancellor."
In his speech, Brown said: "In the 1980s the Tories turned our industrial heartlands into industrial wastelands.
"Their ideology was that there was no such thing as society and everyone was on their own.
"What stood between our communities and further devastation was the European structural funds, regional funds and social funds that Tory Brexiteers would now cut."
McDonnell argued Labour would ensure that the UK received its fair share of the EU cash available to pay for major infrastructure projects in member states.
"Thanks to George Osborne's spending cuts, Britain has enormous infrastructure needs and it is hard-hit industrial regions that can benefit the most from European Investment Bank funding," he said.
"Under Labour's plans we could secure an additional £35 billion in additional funding, which would mean households would better off to the equivalent of £1,320. This injection of Labour Investment could be a boost to British families struggling to get to the end of each month.
"That is why we want Labour voters to vote next Thursday for Labour Investment in a reformed EU, and reject a Tory Brexit."
McDonnell, the Hayes and Harlington MP, fell 16 short of the minimum required nominations to run against the Labour heavyweight in 2007, meaning Brown assumed the leadership unopposed.
On launching his leadership bid, McDonnell, who vehemently opposed the Iraq War and was an ardent critic of the new Labour government, called for "a challenge to the present political consensus".
Referring to their one time rivalry, McDonnell quipped today: "Gordon and I were last on a platform together in 2007, when we were both contesting the Labour party leadership. Some of you may know he won."

Vascular Dementia: does your loved one really have this instead of Alzheimer's?
Vascular dementia is considered to be the second most common type of dementia surpassed only by Alzheimer's disease. Vascular dementia occurs when blood vessels in the brain narrow, reducing the amount of blood flowing to the brain.
If you don't get a "fully baked" diagnosis for your loved one, see - Dementia and Depression -- How to get a "Fully Baked" Diagnosis, you may think your loved one has Alzheimer's disease, when in fact they don't.
They may have another type of dementia altogether.
These dementia(s) can and do coexist with Alzheimer's disease, resulting in something neurologists called "Mixed Dementia", but for purposes of this article, I'm going to treat them as if they existed alone in a person's brain.
This article is generated from a lecture I attended given by two leading local geriatric psychiatrists/neurologists (yes they are both!) and a leading local neuropsychologist.
They lectured on three dementia(s) that are not as common as Alzheimer's, but are more common than you would believe. Each doctor lectured on one of the diseases and I will try to briefly summarize what each said in a series of three articles. This is the first of those articles.
Dr. David Crumpacker spoke about what is now called Vascular Dementia. VD comes from strokes and mini strokes (called TIA's).
Strokes and mini strokes happen when the veins and arteries that bring blood, containing oxygen and food to the brain cells burst. The cells in that area don't get the food and oxygen they need and so the cells die. Where in the brain the strokes and mini strokes happen will dictate what symptoms the person will have. Also the severity of the stroke or mini stroke will dictate the severity of the symptoms and behaviors the person will have.
Dr. Crumpacker says Vascular Dementia is really a spectrum of diseases, not just one disease. He says that Vascular Dementia can happen to a person gradually or suddenly. It used to be thought that the trajectory of Vascular Dementia was like stair steps going downward. The person would have a stroke or mini stroke and lose brain function, then level out for awhile (called plateauing) and then have a big drop in functioning again when the next set of strokes or mini strokes hit. Now some doctors think that it may sometimes be a smoother downward trajectory than was thought before.
Vascular dementia's symptoms can fluctuate because some blood clots in the brain can resolve. That means that the blood flooding the area can be reabsorbed back into the local brain cells, thus feeding them again, and saving some cells from cell death for a little while. So, with some strokes and mini strokes, some people can get better in some aspects of their thinking and behavior. Not everybody and not all the time, but some people can get better, at least for a while.
That is wonderful (and confusing) for the care partner. Many of us have seen stroke victims get better with physical and occupational therapy for their body functions. It also can work that way with their thinking. So if possible, always ask the doctor to order physical, occupational and speech therapy for your loved one after a stroke or mini stroke. Speech therapy is the part of therapy that primarily addresses cognition and thinking.
Dr. Crumpacker says that Vascular Dementia can result in any or all of the following cognitive symptoms or behaviors, depending on where in the brain the bleed occurs.
Aphasia- the National Aphasia Association defines aphasia as an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. There are several different types of aphasia and different strengths of impairment from mild to impossible to communicate at all depending on how serious and where in the brain the clot was. Some affect speech only, some affect understanding speech when spoken to only, some affect reading or writing only.
Apraxia- the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke defines apraxia as a neurological disorder characterized by loss of the ability to execute or carry out skilled movements and gestures, despite having the desire and the physical ability to perform them. There are several different types of apraxia and different strengths of impairment depending on how serious and where in the brain the clot was. Some affect facial muscles like winking or licking your lips or moving your eyes on command. Some affect limbs, like moving yours arms and legs or fingers or toes.
Agnosia- the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke defines Agnosia as an inability to recognize and identify objects or persons. People with agnosia may have difficulty recognizing the geometric features of an object or face or may be able to perceive the geometric features but not know what the object is used for or whether a face is familiar or not. Agnosia can be limited to one sense such as vision or hearing. For example, a person may have difficulty in recognizing an object as a cup or identifying a sound as a cough.
Dysexecutiveness- the definition is from the Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (the standard test used in measuring executive function). If a stroke or some mini strokes occur in the frontal or temporal lobes (behind your forehead and between your face and your ears on either side of the head) our executive functions are impacted. Executive functions are the parts of our thinking that make us human. That is, our capacities involved in time management, organization and problem solving, self-restraint, self-motivation, and self-regulation of emotions among other skills. Deficits in these functions impact our ability to function in society, and many times are the source of care partners' embarrassment or shame.
Memory impairments- If a stroke or some mini strokes occur in the general hippocampus area (deep inside the brain in the middle of the head) our memories and our ability to learn new things are impacted. Memories can be impaired in one of two ways, and maybe even in both ways. The ability to store new memories or learn new things can be impacted and/or the ability to retrieve current and old memories. This is the part of vascular dementia that looks like Alzheimer's, but isn't Alzheimer's.
Dr. Crumpacker was clear in saying that there are NO current treatments for Vascular Dementia, period.
He said that preventing the risk factors for Vascular Dementia is the only way to treat the disease. The number one risk factor is getting older, which one can't really do anything about.
Risk factors we can do something about are: smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, having an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, being overweight, and drinking alcohol excessively.
Considering that that risk factors can and do occur long before the age of 50, those of us over 50 need to rely on medicine to lower some of the risk factors. But other risk factors we can work on, even at this late date, to attempt to lower the current risk factors we have. That means no matter what your age, you can still do things to help yourselves and your loved ones.
Will it fix you? No, it won't. but it might help hold it off a while longer, and maybe it will be long enough that you'll die of other reasons first. Not a cheery statement I grant you, but you wouldn't suffer the indignities of dementia along with your physical ailments.
It's no secret that there is a worldwide obesity epidemic, as well as an Alzheimer's epidemic. If Vascular Dementia comes from the above risk factors, almost all intimately connected with obesity, then it stands to reason that we will now have 2 dementia epidemics on our hands.
As a matter of fact, I suspect that a great deal of Vascular Dementia is really undiagnosed, or incorrectly diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease. I bet that even at this moment, Vascular Dementia rivals Alzheimer's as the number one cause of dementia, we just don't know it. Scary!
If each of us make a sustained, concerted effort to improve our heart health by diet and exercise, and make it a point to try and influence our children, grand children and great grand children to do the same, maybe we can head off the second dementia epidemic, Vascular Dementia.

Fantasy Football Six-Pack: What these stats tell us about the eliminated playoff teams
·Fantasy Analyst
Before we fully dismiss the six playoff teams recently eliminated in this year's glorious wild-card round, let's give each of them one final look, in the usual fantasy six-pack manner. We're calling out one meaningful stat for each team, with an eye on 2023.
1,517 - This is how many total receiving yards were produced by all Baltimore Ravens wide receivers this season, an outrageously low number. It was the lowest in the league this year and the lowest total of any team since 2019, when Ravens wideouts finished with just 1,419 yards in a 16-game season. Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill each delivered more receiving yards on their own than did all Ravens wide receivers in 2022, and Davante Adams was only a single yard behind them. Baltimore gained nearly as many rushing yards per game (160.0) as they did passing (178.8), which is simply not what an offense should look like in such a pass-friendly era. It just might be time for a reassessment of offensive philosophy.
257 - Kenneth Walker III gained 257 yards after contact in the final three weeks of the regular season, the highest total of any back by a wide margin — and, in case you'd forgotten, he did it while playing through an ankle injury and rarely practicing. After taking over as Seattle's featured back in October, he averaged 95.9 scrimmage yards per week and reached the end zone eight times. If we were drafting a 2023 fantasy roster today, Walker would clearly deserve consideration as a late first-round option. The Seahawks have glaring defensive needs and a big decision ahead at quarterback, but running back is not a worry.

46 - Kirk Cousins was sacked 46 times this year, third-most in the NFL, the highest single-season total of his career and tied with Geno Smith for the most among playoff QBs. He took more hits than any quarterback in the league (84). When he threw that doomed 3-yard completion to T.J. Hockenson on fourth down on Sunday, he did not have another millisecond with which to work, nor did he have another receiver coming open. Cousins is an easy target, literally and figuratively, but he is certainly not a liability. Minnesota needs to fix its dreadful defense and patch that O-line.
7.0 - Justin Herbert's average depth of target this season was just 7.0 yards according to PFF, which ranked No. 30 out of 33 quarterbacks who had at least 250 dropbacks. Only 9.7% of his attempts traveled 20-plus yards downfield. If this seems like a waste of a guy with weapons-grade arm strength ... well, yeah. Understandably, the team is making changes to the offensive coaching staff. They should maybe take a long look at the receiving room, too.
6.4 - In what seems likely to have been Tom Brady's final season with the Bucs, he averaged just 6.4 yards per pass attempt. That was his lowest rate since 2002, when Brady himself was only 25 years old and Rich Gannon won the NFL MVP. Brady had the league's lowest average time to throw this season (2.3 seconds) and his aDOT was just 7.3. He still passed for 4,694 yards, but he needed a league-leading 733 attempts to get there. Injuries to the team's offensive line were obviously a factor in his slide and Tampa's do-nothing run game did the offense no favors — somehow the Bucs finished with only five total rushing scores, one of which belonged to Brady. Wherever he plays next season (assuming he plays), it's going to have to offer a perfectly move-in ready offensive environment.
0 - This is the number of running backs that Miami currently has under contract, with Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. both headed into free agency. It should go without saying that Mike McDaniel's offense is a stellar landing spot for any back. This year's free-agent class is unusually loaded — Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, Tony Pollard, Miles Sanders, David Montgomery, Kareem Hunt, et al. — and the incoming draft class features plenty of talent. There's a decent chance we'll be drafting some yet-to-be-determined Dolphins running back in the very early rounds in a few months.

Yes you can, you'll just need to document that you can (and have prior to final approval and closing) withdraw (or borrow) money from the 401k for the downpayment. FYI, loans from a 401k do not count as part of your debt ratios.
Wendy: I have free Grant money, 3 or 5% of the loan amount I can give you towards your down payment or c/c/ or p/p. you have to have a 640 Score, cannot make more than 69,805.00 in income, no more than 45% debt to income ratio ( I can calculate this for you) you can use this Grant money with USDA, conventional and FHA loans. Now to answer your question, yes you can withdraw your 401 k money if your employer allows it. There may be qualifications or penalties, call them & ask all the right questions and how much can you get. If you decide to go USDA route, no down payment required, ask the seller to pay some of your c/c and use the Grant money as extra money just to lower the principle owed. you have lots of choices.

Subject: Right to Legal Counsel
Case Decided:
Hear Oral Argument
Gideon v. Wainwright is responsible for changing the criminal justice system by granting criminal defendants the right to an attorney, even if they can't afford one on their own. The Court ruled that under the Sixth Amendment, state and federal courts were to respect the rights of the accused and allow them the opportunity to defend themselves.
Clarence E. Gideon was a poor career criminal and unlikely judicial hero who helped shape the criminal justice system. In 1961, Gideon was accused of breaking into a Panama City, Florida pool hall and stealing beer, wine, and money. In trial court, Gideon requested counsel but a state judge reminded him that under Florida law, the state only provided a lawyer when the defendant faced the death penalty.
Gideon had no choice but to represent himself and was sentenced to prison. Taking matters further into his hands, Gideon petitioned the Florida Supreme Court claiming his imprisonment was a violation of his right to counsel and challenging the lower court's ruling as unlawful because the state did not provide him with a lawyer. After the Florida Supreme Court dismissed his petition, Gideon submitted it to the Supreme Court. In a unanimous ruling, the Court decided in favor of Gideon, and it has since become one of the most important criminal law decisions in U.S. history.
The Sixth Amendment
Clarence Earl Gideon
Earl Gideon (August 30, 1910 – January 18, 1972) was a career criminal whose petty crimes changed the American legal system. After penciling a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court about his right to legal representation, Gideon's case determined that a criminal defendant who cannot afford to pay for counsel must be provided with a lawyer at no cost.
Louie Wainwright
Louie Wainwright (September 11, 1923) was the Florida Department of Corrections Secretary. Wainwright was the respondent in Gideon v. Wainwright in which the Court held that criminal defendants are to be provided legal representation if they cannot afford a lawyer.

Parrot MiniDrone Rolling Spider review: Inexpensive drone fun for novice flyers
Joshua Goldman
Aug. 20, 2014 4:10 p.m. PT
Parrot Bebop Drone 2
The Good The Parrot MiniDrone Rolling Spider is an easy-to-pilot mini-quadcopter you control with your smartphone or tablet. Thanks to its many sensors flight is very stable -- indoors or outside -- and its attachable wheels protect its propellers and add some functionality.
The Bad Flight time maxes out at 8 minutes, with a 90-minute recharge time. Only one battery is included, and there are no extra propellers or an external charger in the box. Its vertical camera only captures VGA-resolution photos. Requires a smartphone or tablet to control.
The Bottom Line If you can live with its short flight times, the affordable, smartphone-controlled Parrot MiniDrone Rolling Spider is a great quadcopter for beginners and hobbyists.
Ease of Use 6
Sport and Outdoors
Parrot MiniDrone Rolling Spider
It would be easy enough to dismiss Parrot's MiniDrone Rolling Spider as just another mini-quadcopter. And at $100 (AU$140, £90) it would be a pricey one, too, considering you can get a basic mini-quadcopter for less than $30.
But, despite appearances, the Rolling Spider isn't an ordinary mini-quadcopter. For starters, it's controlled entirely with your smartphone or tablet and not a typical two-stick radio controller. And it's generally a lot of fun, except for its biggest problem: flight times of 8 minutes or less (which is the lifespan of the single included rechargeable battery).
Inside, Parrot used an ultrasonic sensor, a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer, a vertical camera, and a pressure sensor, which combine to make flight very stable -- indoors and outside.
Then there are the wheels that give this MiniDrone the "Rolling" part of its name. Attach the wheels to the top of the Spider and you can drive it around on the ground or even drive it up a wall and across the ceiling. While that's fun, it's probably more important that they give the propellers some protection while you're flying around indoors, since those are typically the first thing you'll need to replace.
And you will need to buy more propellers because you only get one set with the Rolling Spider. In the box along with with the MiniDrone and wheels you get one battery, a Micro-USB cable, and some stickers so you can dress up your MiniDrone. Accessories coming in September include batteries at $20 each (AU$22, £14), replacement propellers for $6 a set, and replacement wheels for $10.
Like Parrot's larger AR.Drone quadcopters, the Rolling Spider is completely controlled with an app on your smartphone or tablet. The FreeFlight 3.0 app is available for iOS, Android, and, in October, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 devices; I did all my testing with a Galaxy S4 and an iPhone 5S .
Screenshot by Joshua Goldman/CNET
The Spider connects to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. The whole process is pretty automatic: Turn on the Spider, turn on Bluetooth on your device, and open the app. It should automatically connect to your device and once it does you launch the controller and you're off.
For flying, which can be done with or without the wheels attached, you tap the Take Off button and it will start the propellers and send the Spider straight up and start hovering. And it does this out of the box unlike other mini-quadcopters. There's no need to adjust trim or anything else: It will just hover in place, which is a big reason why it's so easy to fly.
In its default Normal mode, the joystick on the right lets you raise and lower the Spider as well as rotate it left and right. To move it forward, back, left, and right, you keep your thumb pressed down on the right joystick and tilt your device the direction you want it to go. If it starts to travel somewhere you don't want it to, don't panic, just lift your thumbs off the controls and it will stop and hover.

A Disney lover's dream come true.
Jason Shoffman knew his girlfriend Simone Golumb loved Disney, so he planned the ultimate Disney-themed proposal.
When Simone Golumb misses her home of Glasgow, Scotland, there's one thing that always makes her feel better: watching Disney movies.
The first floor of the exhibit featured lithographic Disney prints that Jason found on eBay. But that was simply a distraction. Downstairs, Jason was waiting with a diamond ring and personalized Disney-style prints depicting important moments in their relationship.
An illustrator in the U.S. reimagined the milestone moments from Jason and Simone's relationship, like their first vacation together in Agadir, Morocco, pictured here. Jason crafted the titles and credits. "It was a lot of lunch hours and late nights after Simone had gone to bed," he said.
The prints are full of personal details, including a combination of both their last names, "Goffy," in place of the words "Walt Disney."
"My day job is to come up with ideas, as an art director in advertising, but this one took a long time to fashion," Jason told The Huffington Post. "The whole engagement took around three months to put together, from inception to realization."
Jason and Simone are depicted at Jason's sister's engagement party.
After the big engagement, Jason had one more surprise waiting for Simone: he had flown in her parents from Scotland and they were waiting for her at his mother's home.
"[Simone] was telling the story of what happened to the room full of family we had there, and some had their phones out ready to capture her mum and dad coming in," Jason said. "She even said 'why is everyone looking at me funny?' and then her mum and dad knocked on the outside window from the garden and she started crying in disbelief."
Jason and Simone are depicted at a health spa where they celebrated their one-year anniversary.
Jason and Simone's love story is a modern day fairy tale.
"I was working on an advertising pitch for a well-known cosmetics brand, along with [my coworker] Hayley, who was the strategist on the project," Jason said. "One day I walked past her computer and she was looking at an Instagram page... I looked at her screen and saw the most beautiful blonde, Scottish siren. I thought she was a celebrity -- her beauty was that undeniable -- but Hayley told me it was a very good friend of hers."
"This is a photo from a gig Simone did at a place called King Tut's," Jason said. "She is an excellent singer and once got through to the final stages of 'MTV Brand New Unsigned 2014.' Her artist name was Si Si Rae, and she had a single released on iTunes in 2013." Today, Simone works in cosmetics.
Hayley connected the two on WhatsApp, and Jason took it upon himself to pitch a date to Simone.
"She laughed at the pitch and said she was sitting with her dad at lunch who told her she has to go on a date with me," Jason said. "Two weeks later, and after multiple phone and text conversations, Simone came down to London for our first date, in which I promised her the 'gold package treatment.' I took her out for dinner, followed by ice skating. Each hour of our date I had a gift wrapped for her in gold paper, within which was something to prove I had been meticulous in my attention to detail when conversing with her."
A shot from Jason and Simone's first date, where they went ice skating at Somerset House Ice Rink in London after dinner.
Six months later, Simone moved to London and they lived happily ever after.
A shot from when Jason and Simone bought their first home together.


At the 84th Annual Academy Awards last night, we saw a mere two nominees compete in the Best Original Song category. The category has been in a major decline for many years now due to ridiculous eligibility requirements and voting processes as well as an overall decline in heavily marketed original power ballads (Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was nearly 15 years ago).
But instead of getting angry, let's think back to a simpler time. March 21, 1994, to be precise, the day that The Boss became Oscar-winner Bruce Springsteen. The video above features Bruce's Oscar performance of "Streets of Philadelphia" from Philadelphia followed by his win (announced with limited enthusiasm by Whitney Huston) and his moving acceptance speech laced with humility and praise for the power of popular art.
Welcome to Legends of Springsteen, your source for complete and utter Springsteenmania. We don't claim to be experts. But we recognize we have an unhealthy obsession with all things Springsteen and our family members say we need to channel it somehow. Hopefully you'll indulge us for a little while.

Tervuren, Belgium
Africa, an Empress and a Park
Brussels is known as a political hot center, home to 19 police forces, each using a different language, a great botanical garden and shopping downtown, but what's not publicized across the Atlantic is the municipality of Tervuren, located in the Flemish Brabant province of Belgium. It's a shame too, because history, aristocracy and nature–along with inexpensive accommodations–make this town a must-see in our travel itinerary.
Tervuren: What and where
But don't let that little factoid scare you off. It's perfect for travelers who want the proximity of the nearby cities in the summer, (a category in which we belong). The town butts against the Tervuren Park, also known as the Empress's Park, a multi-kilometer destination so big it's easy to get lost. Yet, it's so safe, we feel like it's Idaho. People walking the streets at night, taking strolls on the neighborhood and of course, crossing in to the Park that stretches for miles.
Another park? Really?
If it was "just a park," I wouldn't bother writing about it. But this is something to behold. Sun-lit gravel paths stretching for miles are separated by long, rectangular waterways, home to multiple varieties of waterfowl. On the other side of the water, the trails are paved, drawing bikers who race along the paths at a training clip. Shooting off these manicured lanes are dirt trails through the woods. It's downright "shire-like,' because only in the Hobbit movies have I seen trees to high and dense in a forest. It's actually rather spooky, and one of my girls (6 at the time) asked if an Orc was going to come out. "No, Robin Hood lives here," was my reply, thinking the analogy a little happier than a blood-thirty human-killing fictional character. The downtown of Tervuren lines one side of the park, allowing for waterside dining, strolls down the paths and a little (not much) local shopping.
The Empress's Palace in Tervuren
As we were making our way in and around the park over a period of our ten day stay, we frequently walked by the Empress's Palace. The story itself (Emperor builds massive structure for favorite daughter) and size of the park just makes any parent say: wow. Daddy really loved that girl.
Africa in Belgium
Indeed. The massive Royal Museum for Central Africa, simply known as the Africa Museum, is located right in the park. In the 1800's, the museum was opened by a King Leopold II, who had conducted on a years long effort for colonization. What originally focused on the Congo gradually expanded over the decades (yes, this is a dramatic simplification. Read more here), the museum and research functions of the museum attracted scientists and researchers, contributing to the initial prosperity of the region.
Note: It was closed for a 5 year renovation and reopened in 2018, so you are good to go. Where to stay? I address that in a separate blog on our accommodations. Think two-story, five bedroom house, pool, ten days, $1,000. Yep. Love Tervuren.

Your methamphetamine testing company report will include laboratory results that have established the amount of methamphetamine removed from a surface by a swab(s).
ESR has a wide range of expertise in identifying illicit substances, clandestine laboratories and methamphetamine contamination, however please note that ESR does not provide methamphetamine testing as a commercial service.
The laboratory providing your test result should be ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and using an approved analytical method outlined in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods (NMAM) under section 9106, 9109 or 9111.
The results for each single swab may be different and this is because different surface types in different locations have been swabbed. The highest result from an unreachable location is a better indicator of the amount of methamphetamine vapour (and therefore the amount of smoking) the room has been exposed to.
The Meth Calculator is a tool developed by ESR to help interpret the methamphetamine readings supplied by your methamphetamine testing company.
The Meth Calculator helps give some perspective to the levels of contamination being observed and the potential cause based on current research. As such, it is intended as an indicative guide aimed to provide information to the public. It is current only at the date and time of use. ESR endeavours to the best of its ability and knowledge to ensure that the results produced by the Meth Calculator are accurate, however ESR makes no warranty nor assumes any legal liability for the accuracy or completeness of the results. The data entered into the Meth Calculator may be used by ESR to inform our research into illicit substances.
Unless otherwise stated, the swab area will be 100cm2.
The size (area) of the room is important for these calculations but may not necessarily have been recorded as part of the sampling process since it is not a parameter that relates to the actual level of contamination. An estimate of the room size (area), in square meters (m2), will be sufficient for this purpose.
The volume (and therefore the height) of the room is not considered as important. Methamphetamine smoke rises and the resulting contamination will tend to collect and be more concentrated towards the ceiling.

Over the past 20 years, there has been an alarming increase in the number of children and adolescents diagnosed as overweight or obese in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately one-third of American children and adolescents, ages 2 to 19, are considered overweight or obese. An estimated 4.5 million children and adolescents are severely obese.
Obesity is thought to be the result of eating too many calories and not getting enough physical activity (too much energy in and too little energy out). However, the actual causes of obesity often are more complex, a combination of genetics, activity level, diet, and the environment in which a child lives and plays.
Childhood obesity can have a harmful effect on the body in a variety of ways. Too much weight can seriously impact the growth and health of bones, joints, and muscles. Bones grow in size and strength during childhood. Excess weight can damage the growth plate, the area of developing cartilage tissue at the end of the body's arm, leg and other long bones. Growth plates regulate and help determine the length and shape of a bone at full growth or maturity. Excessive weight places stress on the growth plate, which can lead to early arthritis, a greater risk for broken bones and other serious musculoskeletal conditions.
Children diagnosed as obese or overweight have a higher risk for fractures (broken bones) due to stress on the bones because of weakened bones or inactivity. Overweight children may have more complications that can delay or alter treatment outcomes.
In most children, a diet rich in calcium and other nutrients, along with regular, physical activity, at least 35 to 60 minutes a day, can help to minimize weight gain, while helping to build and maintain strong bones.
Through their campaign To Get Up, Get Out, Get Moving!, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) helps kids to get active. Or visit letsmove.gov to "step it up" for better health.
Exercise can be fun. Try sports (like soccer, baseball, and basketball), dancing, step aerobics, swimming, biking, tennis and other racquet sports, skiing, skating, karate, or bowling.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provides helpful suggestions for families to develop healthy eating habits so children can maintain a healthy weight.
Provide plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole-grain products.
Direct Orthopedic Care (DOC) provides orthopedic urgent access care. The board-certified, orthopedic specialists can provide the highest quality care for children suffering with joint pain or other musculoskeletal conditions associated with obesity.
