Piccarda Bueri (Verona, segunda mitad del siglo XIV - Florencia, primera mitad del siglo XV), fue esposa de Juan de Médici, fundador de la Dinastía Médici.

Biografía
La información sobre Piccarda es escasa. Se sabe que era hija de Eduardo Bueri, quien pertenecía a una familia de antigua estirpe de origen florentino, pero que tenía intereses comerciales también en otras ciudades. De hecho, la familia se encontraba en Verona al nacer Piccarda.

Al volver a Florencia, la muchacha fue desposada con el joven banquero Juan de Médici en 1386, que durante esa época se encontraba trabajando en el negocio bancario de su familia. Al poco tiempo, Juan, fue nombrado responsable de la filial en Roma, lo que les dio una estabilidad económica importante, aunque no podría decirse que eran ricos.

El matrimonio con Piccarda, gracias al pequeño patrimonio que ella entregó como dote, le permitió a Juan dar el salto del éxito comercial a la riqueza sólida, lo que más adelante sería la base para toda la fortuna familiar de los Médici: con ese dinero pudo, de hecho, comprar la filiar romana del banco que fue de inmediato expendida gracias al patrimonio de nuevos socios. Gracias al éxito de aquella empresa Juan murió siendo uno de los florentinos más ricos de la época.

Piccarda y Juan vivieron en un palacio a pocos pasos del Duomo de Florencia en la Vía Ricasoli. Ella se ocupaba frecuentemente de los asuntos familiares y ayudaba en los negocios cuando su esposo se encontraba de viaje, lo que era muy común.

La pareja tuvo dos hijos quienes son reconocidos como los fundadores de las dos ramas principales de la familia Médici:
Cosme, (1389-1464), heredero de la fortuna paterna y cabeza de la Rama Médici Cafaggiolo.
Lorenzo, (1395-1440), quien diera origen a la Rama Médici Popolano.

Fue enterrada junto a su marido al centro de la Sacristía Vieja de San Lorenzo en una tumba esculpida por Buggiano.

En la ficción
En octubre de 2016 Piccarda fue interpretada por la actriz Frances Barber en la miniserie Medici: Masters of Florence.

Bible Names N-Z: Rabshakeh
Rabshakeh in Easton's Bible Dictionary chief of the princes, the name given to the chief cup-bearer or the vizier of the Assyrian court; one of Sennacherib's messengers to Hezekiah. See the speech he delivered, in the Hebrew language, in the hearing of all the people, as he stood near the wall on the north side of the city (2 Kings 18:17-37). He and the other envoys returned to their master and reported that Hezekiah and his people were obdurate, and would not submit.
https://www.bible-history.com/eastons/R/Rabshakeh/
Rabshakeh in Fausset's Bible Dictionary i.e. "chief cupbearer" (2 Kings 18-19; Isaiah 36-37). Sent by Sennacherib with Tartan who probably had chief command (first in 2 Kings 18:17; Isaiah 20:1) of an army to induce Jerusalem by threats and promises to surrender. Spokesman for Tartan and Rabsaris. Possibly a Jewish deserter and apostate. This is favored by his familiarity with the Hebrew language, in which he addresses fluently (to the annoyance of Hezekiah's officers sent to meet him) the Jews on the wall, and with Isaiah's prophecy (Isaiah 8:7-8; Isaiah 10:5- 6): "am I now come up without the Lord to destroy it? The Lord said, Go up against this land" (2 Kings 18:25). Isaiah (Isaiah 33:14) alludes to traitors, "sinners in Zion," "hypocrites." Rabshakeh was a zealous pleader for his master, reckless of truth, glossing over the real miseries of deportation by Assyria (Isaiah 36:16-17), pretending to have Jehovah on his side, yet classing Jehovah with the idols of other lands overthrown by Assyria (Isaiah 36:18-20, liars need to have good memories), trying to rob the godly of their one only but sure trust in trouble, misrepresenting Hezekiah's faithful act in removing forbidden high places to Jehovah, as though he thereby had dishonored and so forfeited the favor of Jehovah (Isaiah 36:7), boasting of Assyria's might, as if, because Judah could not supply 2,000 riders if even Assyria supplied the horses, it were impossible the Jews could repel one of the least of Assyria's captains (Isaiah 36:8-9); in filthy and blasphemous language he threatens to reduce them to eat their own excrement in the extremity of famine (Isaiah 36:12; 2 Chronicles 32:11): a sample of the true nature of the pagan attack on Jerusalem, at once arrogant, blasphemous, and reckless of all decency.

Rabshakeh in Hitchcock's Bible Names cup-bearer of the prince
https://www.bible-history.com/hitchcock/R/Rab-shakeh/
Rabshakeh in Naves Topical Bible -(A title of an Assyrian officer) -Sent by Sennacherib against Jerusalem; undertakes to cause disloyalty to Hezekiah and the surrender of Jerusalem by a speech in the Jews' native language 2Ki 18:17-36; 19:4,8; Isa 36; 37
https://www.bible-history.com/naves/R/RAB-SHAKEH+(RABSHAKEH)/
Rabshakeh in Smiths Bible Dictionary (chief cupbearer), 2Ki 18:1..., 19:1 ...; Isa 36:1 ..., 37:1 ... one of the officers of the king of Assyria sent against Jerusalem in the reign of Hezekiah. [HEZEKIAH] (B.C. 713.) The English version takes Rabshakeh as the name of a person; but it is more probably the name of the office which he held at the court, that of chief cupbearer.
https://www.bible-history.com/smiths/R/Rabshakeh/
Rabshakeh in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE rab'-sha-ke, rab-sha'-ke (rabhshaqeh): A compound word, the first part, rabh, indicating "head" or "chief" (see RAB-MAG; RAB-SARIS). The second part, which in the Aramaic, probably meant "cupbearer," had in this connection and elsewhere, according to later discoveries, an extended significance, and meant chief officer, i.e. chief of the heads or captains. Rabshakeh was one of the officers sent by Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, with the Tartan and the Rabsaris to demand the surrender of Jerusalem, which was under siege by the Assyrian army (2 Ki 18:17,19,26,27,28,37; 19:4,8; Isa 36:2,4,11,12,13,22; 37:4,8). The three officers named went from Lachish to Jerusalem and appeared by the conduit of the upper pool. Having called upon King Hezekiah, his representatives Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah, the recorder, appeared. Rabshakeh sent through them a message to the king in which he represented himself as the spokesman for the king of Assyria. He derided King Hezekiah in an insolent fashion in representing his trust in Egypt as a bruised reed which would pierce the hand. Likewise his confidence in Yahweh was vain, for He also would be unable to deliver them. Then the officers of the king replied, requesting him to speak in the Syrian language-which they understood, and not in the Jews' language which the people on the wall understood. This he refused to do, speaking still more loudly in order that they might hear and be persuaded. By bribery and appeal, by promise and by deception he exhorted them to turn traitor to Hezekiah and surrender to him. The people, however, true to the command of Hezekiah (2 Ki 18:36), "held their peace, and answered him not a word." Afterward Rabshakeh returned and "found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah". (2 Ki 19:8). From this description it is inferred that Rabshakeh was a man of considerable literary attainment, being able, in all probability, to speak in three languages. He had, in addition to his official power, dauntless courage, an insolent spirit and a characteristic oriental disregard for veracity. Walter G. Clippinger
https://www.bible-history.com/isbe/R/RABSHAKEH/
Rabshakeh in Wikipedia Rabshakeh, also Rab-shakeh and Rabsaces (Hebrew: רַבְשָׁקֵה, Modern Ravshake Tiberian Raḇ�āqē; Greek: Ραψακης Rapsakēs; Latin: Rabsaces) Neo-Aramaic: (ܪܵܒܫܵܩܹܐ) This name meaning chief of the princes was given to the chief cup-bearer or the vizier of the Assyrian royal court. The Bible mentions it for one of Sennacherib's messengers to Hezekiah. See the speech he delivered, in the Hebrew language, in the hearing of all the people, as he stood near the wall on the north side of the city (2 Kings 18:17-37 and Isaiah 36). He and the other envoys returned to their master and reported that Hezekiah and his people were obdurate, and would not submit.

Rabshakeh Scripture - 2 Kings 18:17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which [is] in the highway of the fuller's field.
Rabshakeh Scripture - 2 Kings 19:4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that are left.

In 2014, carrying on the Bowman family tradition of crafting small batch, award-winning products, Master Distiller Brian Prewitt began the journey of crafting his signature gins. Through dedicated tinkering and the christening of a copper pot still, which he has named "George", Brian has created perfect symphonies of intricate flavors and aromas in 3 separate expressions of gin for all to enjoy.
We are honored to have our Master Distiller, Brian Prewitt at A. Smith Bowman Distillery, located in historic Fredericksburg, VA.
Brian joined our team in August of 2013. He is a native of Colorado, with over 20 years of brewing and distilling experience. Since joining, he has crafted many limited edition spirits and continues to win awards for his efforts.
In case you are wondering about the naming of the still, it is rooted in Bowman family history. George is named after the father of the pioneering Bowman brothers.
Unashamedly floral on the nose. Complex and inviting with slight peely citrus character. Expect smooth mouthfeel and well-mannered juniper.
Confidently aromatic. Delightful rich character draws you in with satisfying warm spice and finishes bold, yet balanced. Wintertime harmony personified.
Optimistically exotic and floral on the nose. Wakes up the palate with its fresh, bright attitude. Asian fusion influence inspires a delicate finish.
As a small and American family owned company, A. Smith Bowman Distillery balances time-honored traditions with innovation and creativity to produce hand-crafted spirits.
A. Smith Bowman Distillery is well known for making-award winning spirits including 2016's Best Bourbon in the World by Whisky Magazine. This is the second year in a row, the distillery earned this distinction under Brian Prewitt's leadership.
Many years ago, I set out on a personal journey to find the perfect combination of elements that define a great gin. Countless hours spent with my trusty stills taught me how to perfectly balance the characteristic essence of juniper with distinctive combinations of herbs, flowers, spices, fruits and vegetables. All those years of tinkering resulted in several exceptional gin expressions, each with its own story and character. I hope that you enjoy each unique variety of Tinkerman's gin, and I encourage you to stop by our workshop, as I continue to seek out what gin is and what it can become.
If you're not in the area, we'd still love to hear from you.

2021 Series Preview: Cleveland Indians @ Houston Astros
The Astros (56-38, 1st in AL West) open a homestand with three games against the Indians (47-43, 2nd in AL Central)
By CKuno Jul 19, 2021, 11:00am CDT
Share All sharing options for: 2021 Series Preview: Cleveland Indians @ Houston Astros
Thomas B. Shea-USA TODAY Sports
It's only been a hot minute since the Astros last played the Indians, handing them a four game sweep at home to start the month of July. However, their fortunes have been better in their two most recent series, having won 5 of their last 6 games. That did come after a 9 game losing streak though, so it hasn't really improved their playoff odds by much.
Still, the Indians remain in the thick of the hunt for the second Wild Card spot, sitting just 3.5 games back as we begin the downhill portion of the season. But their competition for that spot is stiff and so far this season and Cleveland hasn't looked like a team ready for prime time. Like all teams there are some bright spots, but overall the Indians don't look poised to make a big comeback in the standings.
Last 10 Games: 5-5 Record, 2 Series Won, 1 Series Swept, +2 Run Differential (43 Scored, 41 Allowed)
W/L Splits: 24-19 at home, 23-24 on the road, 17-26 against teams over .500
Cleveland's offense, slashing a collective .230/.298/.399, has been anemic at best this season, sitting at 29th in the league for both BA and OBP. Their best stat of their slash stats is their .399 SLG, but that's still only 15th in all of MLB.
Honestly, there's not a whole lot to write home about when looking at Cleveland's offensive stats. They don't strike out a lot (763, 6th in MLB), but that's balanced by the fact that they also don't take a lot of walks (251, 28th in MLB). The Indians can also swipe a bag or two (45, 12th in MLB), but getting on base in the first place is the bigger problem.
Notable players:
Jose Ramirez (.257/.342/.510) continues to stand out for the Indians, leading the team in most offensive stats. No other Cleveland player has more doubles (18), homers (19), RBI (52), or walks (35) than Ramirez. Easily their most complete player.
Though he has spent a chunk of time on the IL, Franmil Reyes (.266/.323/.587) has been an absolute slugger for the Indians when he has been healthy. Even with just 50 games under his belt, Reyes is tied for second on the team with 15 homers and sits at 3rd with 40 RBI. Expect the ball to go a long way if he connects.
Not much has changed since the Astros last faced Cleveland's pitching staff a couple weeks ago. Missing a few key pieces, including Shane Bieber and Aaron Civale, the staff continues to trend more towards average than elite. A collective 4.37 ERA doesn't exactly inspire confidence and they sit in the bottom half of the league for most traditional stats.
Specifically, the starting pitching has really fallen off a cliff for Cleveland, especially since Shane Bieber and Aaron Civale hit the IL. As a unit their starting staff owns a 5.15 ERA and is in the bottom half of the league when it comes to both WHIP (1.32, 18th in MLB) and BAA (.248, 19th in MLB).
Meanwhile, the relief corps is probably Cleveland's biggest strength in 2021. The bullpen collectively is third in the league when it comes to ERA (3.33) and BAA (.218) and are in the top ten for most other stats.
Notable Relievers:
James Karinchak (RHP, 2.61 ERA, 41.1 IP, 68 K's) remains the Indians' closer and one of the more reliable arms out of the pen. Karinchak is currently sitting at 10 saves on the season and leads the bullpen with 68 strikeouts. He's also tied for most relief work this season after tossing 41.1 innings.
Emmanuel Clase (RHP, 2.13 ERA, 38 IP, 43 K's) and Bryan Shaw (RHP, 2.83 ERA, 41.1 IP, 52 K's) appear to be the other two trusted arms for the Indians' pen, and have seen the most work of any other reliever besides Karinchak. Both also have saves under their belts (2 for Shaw and 11 for Clase), so Francona is not afraid to toss them out there in the 9th if needed.
Pitching Matchups
Game 1: J.C. Mejia (RHP, 1-4, 7.42 ERA, 27 K's) vs Zack Greinke (RHP, 8-3, 3.59 ERA, 85 K's)
Astros fans may last remember Mejia from when he was getting blown out by Houston for 6 runs in 4 IP at the beginning of July. He went on to give up another 6 runs in just 2.2 innings during his next game before being sent down to AAA Columbus. The Indians are recalling him to make this start though, which will be just his 7th career MLB start.
Game 2: Triston McKenzie (RHP, 1-3, 5.47 ERA, 68 K's) vs Luis Garcia (RHP, 6-5, 3.06 ERA, 97 K's)
McKenzie is coming off of one of his best starts of the season after tossing 7 innings of 1-hit ball against the Royals. He's been back and forth to AAA Columbus a few times this season, and has sort of ping-ponged in effectiveness while in the majors. This will be his first start in 10 days.
Game 3: Eli Morgan (RHP, 1-3, 7.86 ERA, 28 K's) vs Lance McCullers Jr. (RHP, 7-2, 2.80 ERA, 99 K's)
Morgan has been having a bit of a rocky debut season and has yet to make a start where he hasn't given up at least 3 runs. He also hasn't gone more than five innings in any one game, though he has hit that mark in 4 of his 7 starts. Morgan was touched for 3 runs and took the loss in his last start against the Astros this season.

While trying to compile snort 2.9.2.3 to be used as a sensor-only, I tried to disable all unnecessary features of it while keeping only the basic functionalities.
I'm running Gentoo Linux so I'm using the USE-flags made available by the distro's ebuild in order to select the features I need and drop those which I don't require.
As seen, I decided to disable active-response since it is a basic sensor, not used in inline mode.
Am I using a bad combination of flags? Why does dynamic_plugins need active-response which I explicitly disabled? And if the flag combination is wrong, why did the configure let me use it?
If the combination of flags are right, then it's a bug in the source code.
I have submitted Gentoo bug #421775 ( https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421775 ) and also attached there a patch which allows the two functions (Active_SetEnabled and Active_SendData) to be visible and just do nothing if active-response is disabled.
However, since it's the first time I'm looking at Snort source code I'm not entirely sure the two Active_ functions should just do nothing, that is I'm not sure that the caller functions expect changes in the data they send to the Active_ functions, so that patch only allows the code to compile, but that may break functionality.
Please have a look at this issue and tell me if I'm using the wrong flag combination, or there is a bug in the code or if the patch should produce a working snort binary.

The RPG Maker Unite was delayed to spring 2023
Gotcha Gotcha Games had delayed RPG maker unite from its already planned 2022 release window to spring 2023. It'll be launched first via Unity Asset Store followed a bit later by Steam.
Read here.
RPG Maker Unite, our latest development title originally slated for 2022, will be postponed to spring 2023 in order to improve its user experience, so that everyone can learn new things.
RPG Maker Unite is the unique RPG Maker iteration we have ever done. With Unity, we want to ratify the popular RPG Maker, while maintaining a non-coding nature of the series. The improvements in feature models, parallax mapping, etc., and new additions (outline editor, auto-guide, etc.), which we have introduced in the past announcements, ensure a smooth running and proper back-end coordination with the Unity Editor. It's unfortunate to announce that we should deviate from the original 2022 launch plan so that we will have the best user experience possible.
Besides, we would like to announce that RPG Maker Unite will be launched first on Unity Asset Store. Although we originally wanted to launch Steam and Unity Asset Store simultaneously, we felt it made more sense to start it on Unity Asset Store first whose users already understand how to install the Unity Editor. The Steam version will arrive slightly later because the installation process is more suitable for RPG makers.
We apologize for the inconvenience for those who cannot wait for RPG Maker Unite, and you appreciate your patience and understanding.

This container is Puppet Server running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and providing the same services as the classic Puppet master application.

Puppet master on Webrick is deprecated. The other recommended way to run the Puppet master is a Rack server.

### Getting started

0. Provide your own id_rsa.pub file in files or remove "install ssh" in Dockerfile

1. Build this container with `./build` script

2. Start it with `./run` script

3. Attach a console: `docker exec -ti puppetmaster bash`

4. List agents waiting for a certificate: `puppet cert list`

5. Sign certificate requests: `puppet cert sign --all`

6. Puppet master is ready to answer to agent requests.

### Notes

1. This Puppet server container is called "puppetmaster" as my "puppet_master" container. This allows switching "puppet_master" and "puppet_server" containers without impact on agents.

2. Puppet manifests and modules are in "/opt/puppet/code" directory.

3. sshd daemon is opional and is not required by Puppet server.

4. Connecting via SSH to Puppet server is done by `ssh root@<IPaddress>` where IP address can be retrieve with `docker inspect puppetmaster`

Q: Add number in circle within text in textview The number 4 circle
As you see in the image there is number '4' in a circle within a text and it has a background color. It works as a reference when you click it opens a link in the browser. Is that something can be done in textview using spannable or any other way?

A: You can achieve this using Drawable.
Simply create background.xml in Drawable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval">

    <solid
        android:color="@color/colorAccent"/>
</shape>

And apply background in TextView,
<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/background"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:paddingLeft="16dp"

A two-year faculty and curricular development project at Tuskegee University to integrate humanities study and architectural training and create an interdisciplinary minor in African-American studies.
The"Lifting the Veil" initiative seeks to integrate humanities approaches into the professional training of architects; it also seeks to expand humanities offerings by developing a new minor in African-American studies. The initiative will begin by exploring, both historically and philosophically, African-American education. Booker T. Washington advocated educating the whole individual—the hand, heart, and mind; he also advocated "co-relation," applying academic study to practical work. Similar questions in our own time probe how to best connect humanities study to the professions. As one of only seven HBCUs currently offering accredited degrees in architecture, Tuskegee University provides an ideal setting to uncover past and current educational theories and philosophies. Tuskegee's Robert R. Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science (TSACS) will lead this initiative by developing an African-American Studies minor and enriching its architecture history.


For half of the adult population in America, drinking coffee is a morning ritual to kick-start the day. The thought of foregoing the daily habit – even to avoid acid reflux flare-ups – is a tall (or Venti) order. But what if you could have a cup without risking an acid reflux attack?
The good news is that there's an alternative way to prepare your coffee that reduces the acidity by up to 70% – enough to help some acid reflux/GERD sufferers enjoy a cup with no regrets. Plus, the taste and smoothness surpasses other brewing methods, possibly even that of your favorite barista. The method is known as cold-pressed and, contrary to the name, you can end up with a piping hot cup of joe.
The cold-pressed method requires little equipment – a container and a fine sieve or a French press. Simply grind your coffee beans (recommended for the best flavor), pour them into a container, add water and let the grinds steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours – the longer the grinds steep, the stronger the coffee. Then pour the contents through a sieve or press through the water using your French press. You can make enough to last through the week as the cold-pressed coffee will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to ten days.
Select a container or use a French press.
Coarsely grind the coffee beans if needed.
Pour ground beans in the container or French press.
Let steep in the refrigerator for 12 – 24 hours.
Pour contents through a sieve or French press through the water.
Makes 3 cups which will keep in the refrigerator for up to ten days.
The result is a smooth and intense, yet low-acidic coffee that will be more gentle on your stomach and may turn out to be your favorite cup. Often the brew is strong because of the steeping time. This works in your favor as you then simply add boiling water for a hot cup. Or heat the coffee straight-up for stronger flavor. You can also pour the contents over ice and make a refreshing, iced coffee for the warmer days.
While cold-pressed coffee is a more involved than pressing a button on an automated system, the results are worth the extra effort. A delicious cup with significantly less acidity is gentler on your stomach, pleasing to your taste buds and can prevent reflux symptoms like painful heartburn, a bitter taste in your mouth and an uncomfortable lump in your throat.
Making lifestyle changes to avoid acid reflux doesn't always mean you have to be deprived of your favorite morning ritual. Sometimes it means taking an approach that allows your body to respond more favorably to something that may trigger your reflux.
Like an alternative method to making coffee, a different way of sleeping can prevent uncomfortable reflux symptoms that keep you awake at night. When you use MedCline, you're positioned for restful sleep as gravity naturally reduces acid reflux. The ultra comfortable sleep system can give you back a good night's sleep – as long as you don't have that cup of coffee too late in the day.


Most of us know what we want to say, but we need to say it in a way that our audience will understand it. Whether it is ad copy that accurately describes a product and makes it a 'must have' item, or a detailed description or analysis of a technical or scientific subject, the correct approach is crucial. Sometimes your message just needs a little extra 'polish'. That's what I do. I put a 'polish' on your ideas so that they say what you want to say, clearly, concisely with that little something 'extra'.

Q: Emeditor : When using the extract feature : how to also remove the extracted contents (rows) from the source document? Example : the file "A.txt" contains several rows with phrases :
This is a phrase
Bla keyword blabla
This is another phrase

Desired results :
in A.txt :
This is a phrase
This is another phrase

in B.txt :
Bla keyword blabla

Then I use the option "Find" keyword then I use "Extract". It extracts the correct rows in a new document (B.txt) but how to also remove the full row(s) containing the selected keyword in "A.txt" ?

A: This can be easily done with EmEditor. I have provided two methods.
Method 1

*

*Select a keyword, right-click on the selection, and select Filter Out.

*Click Extract All on the Filter toolbar.

*Save as a new file name.

Method 2

*

*Select a keyword, right-click on the selection, and select Filter.

*Make sure Block Multiline Changes is disabled on the Filter toolbar.

*Press Ctrl + A to select all text.

*Press Delete.

*Click the Abort button on the Filter toolbar.

A: I do the same thing a lot in EmEditor and using only the keyboard, this is the quickest way I know.
Here are my steps:

*

*Highlight the search string and open the Find dialogue Ctrl + F

*Alt + T to Extract the lines into a new document/tab

*Esc to close the Find dialogue (not needed if option Close when finished in the Find dialogue is active).

*Go back to the original source document Ctrl + Tab

*Re-open the Find dialogue Ctrl + F

*Bookmark the lines Alt + B

*Esc to close the Find dialogue (not needed if option Close when finished in the Find dialogue is active).

*Delete the bookmarked lines Ctrl + Shift + Backspace
Steps 3 and 7 can be skipped if using the mouse to select the original source document. I just haven't figured how to activate it with the keyboard while the Find window is still open.


I agree there is some taboo preventing self-reporting or reporting one's child. What might the repurcussions be, insurance wise, or opportunity wise? Of course there hesitation to take that risk. However, many mentally ill adults do not recognize they need help, and in any event do not function well enough to find care or pay for it, for instance, applying for help, showing up for appointments, carrying a job to pay for it that will allow this time off.
But care is simply not financially available for some children identified by parents and doctors to need expensive long-term treatment for mental illness. Here is a tragedy. Health insurance does not pay for about 4 days of residential treatment. It is private pay. The cost of residential care is $400-$2500 PER DAY. Most middle class families don't even gross that amount. If you are on Medicare, it is all good. But the same institutions are silent when you ask for help as private pay, they don't even offer it, and can't tell you anyone that does. BDDS (Medicaid waiver) rejects mentally ill kids from the medicaid waiver list in favor of physically and profound cognitive disabilities. Aspergers is simply not severe enough to be on the waiting list for help, applicants are routinely dismissed and allowed to appeal at their own expense. The schools acknowledge a problem but refuse to address it with their own budgets, they suspend the child. Ironically, schools chase down parents in title I schools to provide services that middle class moms beg for and don't receive. Schools are not accountable to actually spend the funds that children are entitled to on that child, many parents are unaware the school receives funding to help their child with Aspergers, for example.
The only way a middle class parent can get residential care for a child is to abuse or neglect the child and report it (put the child in the foster care system) and hope the state will recognize and address the mental illness before they time out of the system, OR divorce, quit working, and apply for Medicare for their child. Ironically, this results in fewer taxes paid into the system. These are not good choices for parents or children, so most don't do either, and their child goes without the care they need. I feel so badly for Adam Lanza's family, because the parents seemed to face these same obstacles, and did the best they could with the resources available, and it ended in tragedy that the parents probably could have forseen, but could do nothing to stop.
The new healthcare legislation does not address the above problem, either. In a catastrophic care situation requiring extended residential care for treatment of mental illness (to learn how to adapt to and function successfully in society), children who need help are entitled to care solely based upon their parents income (low being entitled). No surprise the kids shooting up schools typically come from the middle or upper middle class.


Karnyella \k(a)-rn-yella, kar-nyella\ as a girl's name is a variant of Carna (Latin), and the meaning of Karnyella is "horn".
The baby name Karnyella sounds like Karniella and Carnyella. Other similar baby names are Karniela and Carniella.

Provides implementations of Savitzky-Golay smoothing (filtering).

The gem is based on the [scipy implementation](http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/SavitzkyGolay) (gives exactly the same result).  A good explanation of the process may be found [here on stackexchange](http://dsp.stackexchange.com/a/9494).

# Examples

## Evenly spaced data

### Array implementation (object oriented)

    require 'savgol/array'
    data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3.5, 5, 3, 2.2, 3, 0, -1, 2, 0, -2, -5, -8, -7, -2, 0, 1, 1]
    # window size = 5, polynomial order = 3
    data.savgol(5,3)

### Module implementation

    require 'savgol'
    data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3.5, 5, 3, 2.2, 3, 0, -1, 2, 0, -2, -5, -8, -7, -2, 0, 1, 1]
    # window size = 5, polynomial order = 3
    Savgol.savgol(data, 5,3)

## Uneven data

The speed gain of the Savitzky-Golay filter is lost when interpolating
unevenly spaced data and devolves into simple polynomial linear regression [At
least I believe they are equivalent in complexity since both require a matrix
pseudo-inverse calculation as the most complex operation].  Even though it may
be much slower, a filter that handles unevenly spaced data may be useful in
some cases.

    require 'savgol'
    xvals = %w(-1 0 2 3 4 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 17 18).map &:to_f
    yvals = %w(-2 1 0 1 1 3 4 7  8  9  7  4  1   2).map {|v| v.to_f + 30 }

### Interpolate at the given x-values

    Savgol.savgol_uneven(xvals, yvals, 5, 2)

### Interpolate at a new set of x values

    new_xvals = xvals.map {|v| v + 0.5 }
    Savgol.savgol_uneven(xvals, yvals, 5, 2, new_xvals: new_xvals)

# Installation

    gem install savgol

# TODO

* Implement for Scriruby's Nmatrix and NArray.
* Implement smoothing for unevenly sampled data.

I accidentally ordered 2, but I now realize in the grand scheme of things this was no accident. As my lifestyle is hectic it can be difficult to get enough of the right calories and macro's into my diet. I found this butter a great way to increase my protein consumption and snack on throughout the day - I can add it to my shakes and breakfast, or just use it as an in-between-meals snack. I am currently on a diet and fitness regiment to build muscle and I have found this to be a pleasant addition to my diet because of the flavor. I ordered salted caramel and I am looking forward to trying the toffee apple and intrigued by the curry flavor. The texture is perfect- not too runny and not too thick. Would recommend for anyone who is looking for low sugar snacks or needs that extra something in the diet to maintain kcal/protein intake.
ok not a review but a request! it would be amazing to see another nut butter such as almond with rice protein for those of us who are allergic to peanuts! thanks!
Has a very grainy and artificial taste. Think you'd be better buying regular peanut butter and adding flavour drops to it.
What can I say but this product just tastes icky. Like rancid nuts. I don't know if its the rice protein flavour isn't that great or that the nuts actually are rancid but I just can't stand this stuff.

Prince of Peace youth follows Christ and her instincts

Mara Hug hasn't let blindness hold her back. Despite losing her sight before she turned a year old, Mara often serves Mass once or twice a month. LEAVEN PHOTO BY MATT MCCABE
by Susan Fotovich McCabe
Special to The Leaven
OLATHE — Mara Hug has a clear vision of Jesus and his place in her life — even though the 12-year-old Prince of Peace parishioner is legally blind.
Despite losing her sight before she turned a year old, Mara's faith runs deep, and she often serves Mass once or twice a month.
At this age, the Olathe seventh-grader, who attends Frontier Trail Middle School, serves as a candle bearer and hopes to one day carry the processional cross.
Her mother Roxanne, father Joe, and brothers Alex, 17, and Johnny, 16, have watched Mara learn to navigate many new experiences in her short 12 years.
And while she regularly receives support, she often relies on her own innovative thinking and keen instincts to ease the challenges of daily life.
"I take pictures of things with my iPad and blow them up so I can see them," said Mara, who can see limited shapes and dreams of being an author or an actor one day.
Diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma, a rare form of cancer affecting the retina, when she was only three months old, Mara endured chemotherapy, radiation, cryotherapy and laser therapy all before her first birthday.
Early assistance from Infant-Toddler Services of Johnson County and Kansas City-based Children's Center for the Visually Impaired (CCVI) laid the foundation for Mara's independence.
In elementary school, Mara learned to read Braille. Much of the time, she uses a cane and carries her Braille equipment from class to class.
She admits she wasn't crazy about using Braille at first, but has learned to appreciate its advantages.
"I didn't think it was cool at first," she said.
"But now I stay up late and read in the dark," she admitted — something even her mother couldn't fault her for.
"I savored the first night I caught her reading Braille after the lights were out at bedtime," said Roxanne. "She finally had a one-up on her brother, who often got caught reading after 'lights out.'"
Mara is determined not to let her visual impairment keep her from the things teens typically enjoy. She participates in choir, CYO track, tumbling and confirmation formation classwork with her sighted peers.
But she spends an equal amount of time with friends she's met through the Kansas State School for the Blind, Alphapointe and Envision. These organizations are designed to nurture friendships and build independence.
To that end, she enjoys rock climbing, tubing at Snow Creek in Weston, Missouri, cooking, camps and even piloting a small aircraft with an instructor.
Mara has achieved considerable academic success as well.
"She has . . . managed to maintain straight A's all through middle school so far, and has a goal to do so through 8th grade," said Roxanne.
"I've been trying to think of a way to sum up what I want people to know about Mara," she continued. "She's smart, kind and capable. She is often dismissed because of her blindness and has to work even harder to prove herself.
"It is my hope that each day she shows more and more people that blind people are just as capable as the rest of us."
Recently, Mara and her family navigated the streets of New York City when she was invited to serve a Mass celebrating the feast day of St. Lucy in December by the Xavier Society for the Blind. (Lucy is the patron saint of the blind.)
Xavier Society provides religious materials and support to people who are blind and has helped Mara in her work at Prince of Peace. The organization treated Mara to an all-expense-paid trip to the Big Apple for the celebration.
Despite her impairment, Mara came away from New York with a clear impression of the hustle and bustle of the big city.
"It was so crowded," she said with a laugh. "It was like a big passing period at school."

Henry Merritt Wriston (July 4, 1889 – March 8, 1978) was an American educator, presidential advisor, and served as president at both Brown University and Lawrence University.

Early life
Henry Merritt Wriston was born in Laramie, Wyoming, the son of a Methodist minister and a schoolteacher. He received his BA in 1911 from Wesleyan University and returned there for his MA, which he earned in 1912. While an undergraduate at Wesleyan, he edited the school newspaper, was a top debater, and won the senior oratorical contest.

He began graduate studies in history and international affairs at Harvard University as an Austin Teaching Fellow, and returned to Wesleyan in 1914 as a history instructor. During World War I, Wriston was the assistant manager of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, and given his success there, he was appointed to be the executive secretary of the Wesleyan Endowment Fund in 1919. In 1922, Wriston completed his dissertation and was awarded his PhD from Harvard, and was consequently awarded full professor status at Wesleyan.

University president
Due in large part to his role with Wesleyan's Endowment Fund, the Lawrence College (now Lawrence University) Board of Trustees selected him to be their next president, replacing Samuel G. Plantz, who had died the year prior, and interim president Wilson Samuel. Wriston was the eighth president of Lawrence University, and held the position from 1925 to 1937. His term was marked by the improvement of the curriculum, faculty, and library collections, and the establishment of the Institute of Paper Chemistry (now the Institute of Paper Science and Technology). Before leaving the school, he wrote the book The Nature of a Liberal College.

He was president of Brown University between 1937 and 1955. Following a change in the university's charter, he was the first president who was not a Baptist minister in the 175 years of the college; he was also the first president since Francis Wayland who was not an alum.

Later life
He served as president of the Council on Foreign Relations between 1951 and 1964. He also served as president of the American Assembly until 1963 and served on the board of trustees of the World Peace Foundation.

In 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Wriston to the Chairmanship of the President's Commission on National Goals. Wriston was also an adviser to President Eisenhower, a member of the United States Department of State's Advisory Committee on Foreign Service, and chairman of the Historical Advisory Committee to the Chief of Military History for the United States Department of the Army.

He is the father of Walter Wriston, former chairman and CEO of Citibank. Wriston died on March 8, 1978, in New York City, aged 88.

Having a precise plan is the best way to start your water garden. This will allow you to incorporate things like filtration and other equipment into your design.
1. BUDGET – Determining your budget will influence the style and size of your water feature. Remember, building a water garden is an investment that can add value to your home. Planning ahead will not only prevent mistakes but will also save you time and money.
2. CHOOSING THE CORRECT POND TYPE – After you have decided on your budget, a style can be selected. Styles include liner ponds, pre-formed ponds, self-contained water features and waterfalls.
3. CHOOSING THE CORRECT LOCATION – Do's and Don'ts.
✘ Don't place your pond in an area that always stays wet.
✘ Don't choose a position close to overhanging trees because falling leaves will contaminate the water.
✘ Don't dig in an area where there are power cords below ground.
✓ Do choose a level site in an area which gets sunlight for at least half the day.
✓ Do position the pond where it can be easily observed from the house.
Waterhouse can assist you at any time with your pond installation. Let the experts help!
4. DETERMINE THE SIZE OF THE FEATURE – The only limit to the size, shape and style of your water feature is your imagination. Plan ahead to know which size and shape of pond will incorporate into your landscape.
5. KEEP IT LOOKING NATURAL – Making sure your pond blends in with your landscape will help keep your pond looking natural. When choosing rocks, make sure they vary in size. Adding plants and fish is also a great idea as they bring color and interest to a pond.
6. POND LIGHTING – Incorporating pond lighting is a great way to truly enjoy your water feature at night. They beautifully compliment features and focal points and will help turn your backyard into a stunning retreat.
7. SAFETY – Excavating the hole for a large pond can be a strenuous job – ask the help of friends, family or rent appropriate equipment and look after your back!

Bad News For Liverpool? Four Of The Last Six EFL Cup Winners Have Gone On To Be Champions
The curse has long been lifted. There was a time when many believed that winning the EFL Cup in March had a detrimental effect on a team's run-in.
Indeed, from 2010-2013, the trophy regarded as the least important out of the four available to the big clubs was won by Manchester United, Birmingham City, Liverpool and Swansea City respectively.
None of those teams enjoyed a successful end to the season, in fact, it led to the downfall of the winning managers. For Swansea, the 5-0 win against Bradford City marked the beginning of the end for Michael Laudrup who was out of a job within 12 months.
Birmingham City were relegated in the same season they defeated Arsenal to clinch the cup, while Kenny Dalglish's League Cup triumph wasn't enough to see him keep his job come the end of the season.
However, since that period, the top clubs have heightened their thirst for trophies and have started to take the competition seriously.
A stat that may have Liverpool fans fearing the worst, four of the last six League Cup winners have won the Premier League title in the same season – which doesn't bode well after Sunday.
Manchester City retained the Carabao Cup last weekend after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win against Chelsea with the teams at a deadlock after 120 minutes of football.
Pep Guardiola's men thrashed the Blues 6-0 a few weeks ago but as expected in a final, form went out of the window and it formed into a competitive game.
Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side in 2015 and Manuel Pellegrini's Man City also won the double.
With Liverpool still to face the likes of Everton, Tottenham and Chelsea in their remaining games, the momentum is certainly with the champions.
Guardiola's men are the form team in the division and after defeating Arsenal, Everton and Chelsea in the space of a week, they have sent out a statement in the title race.


As June rolls in at Kensington Park, we welcome summer with open arms. Thoughts of summer bring so many wonderful memories to mind; driving to the beach on a Friday afternoon, listening to kids laughing and playing at the pool, smelling an outdoor grill that's been fired up and finding fresh produce at the farmers market. Here at Kensington Park, we can even hear the sounds of the ice cream truck as it makes its way through the surrounding neighborhoods. The days are longer and we welcome a cool breeze after a hot day. Come visit with us as we sip iced tea with fresh mint from the backyard garden on one of our shaded porches.
With June, we get to celebrate another fabulous holiday – Father's Day! Come celebrate those special men in your lives on Father's Day and the wonderful influence they have had on us. We look forward to seeing you at our Father's Day Lunch (at The Woodlands and The Groves) and Dinner (at The Highlands). Morissa Harris, our Director of Dining Services has a great menu to kickoff the barbeque season. Remember that your presence gives support and encouragement to everyone here. And if you can't drop by, we hope that you will reach out and connect with your loved one in your own special way.
As we head towards the end of the month, the temperatures will surely begin to rise, but that won't slow us down. We'll be kicking off our "Music In The Park" program, which will include an outdoor event every month. On June 15, we will hold our second annual Movie in the Park Night, featuring "Singing in the Rain." Bring your family, friends and lawn chairs and enjoy an evening on our campus. At each of our outdoor events we will have items for sale to raise money for the annual National Walk To End Alzheimer's, which takes place on October 8. We would love to have you join our team. Please ask any of our staff how you can get involved. It looks like we're going to have an exciting summer here at Kensington Park and we hope you will join us in the fun.

Q: Finding inner most keys in JSON I am interested in finding the innermost keys of JSON. So for example, if I have the following JSON :
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"title": "Product",
"description": "A product from Acme's catalog",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
    "id": {
        "description": "The unique identifier for a product",
        "type": "integer"
    },
    "name": {
        "description": "Name of the product",
        "type": "string"
    },
    "price": {

        "minimum": 0,
    "type": "number",
        "exclusiveMinimum": true
    }
},
"required": ["id", "name", "price"]
}

Then the output should have : description, type, description, type, minimum, type and exclusiveMinimum as the innermost keys.

A: far from good, but looks like it works, try Javascript example http://jsfiddle.net/3UMx5/2/
PS: sorry for my english

Javascript
function searchInnermost(data){

    var jsonString = JSON.stringify(data);
    //split json string into chars
    var chars      = jsonString.split('');

        if(chars[i] == '{'){
            level++;
            if(level > maxLevel){
                maxLevel = level;

function getKeysOnly(json){
    var keysOnly = [];
    for(var i = 0; i < json.length; i++){
        for(var key in json[i]){
            keysOnly.push(key);
        }
    }

    return keysOnly;
}

A: Simpler way:
First function finds all properties and their level
function findAllProperties(obj)
{
   var retVal = [];
   (function findProperty(obj, depth)
   {
       for (var prop in obj)
       {
           if (obj[prop] instanceof Object)
           {
              findProperty(obj[prop], depth + 1);
           }
           else
           {
              retVal.push({"name" : prop, "depth" : depth});
           }
       }
   })(obj, 0);
   return retVal;
}

Second function finds properties with max level
function siftInnerMost(items)
{
    var maxDepth = 0, retVal = [];
    for (var i in items)
    {
        if (items[i].depth == maxDepth)
        {
           retVal.push(items[i].name);
        }
        else if (items[i].depth > maxDepth)
        {
           maxDepth = items[i].depth;
           retVal = [items[i].name];
        }
    }
    return retVal;
}

Now you can find inner most keys
var inners = findAllProperties(data);
var innerMost = siftInnerMost(inners);

JSFiddle DEMO

         this.property = property;
       }
    }

    private void findAllProperties(final JSONObject obj, final int level)
    {
       for (Object key : obj.keySet())
       {
          Object innerObj = obj.get(key);
          if (innerObj instanceof JSONObject)
          {
             findAllProperties((JSONObject) innerObj, level + 1);

          }
          else
          {
              inners.add(new Pair(level, (String) key));
          }
       }
    }

    public List<String> getInnerMost(final JSONObject obj)
    {
       final List<String> retVal = new ArrayList<String>();
       int maxLevel = 0;
       findAllProperties(obj, maxLevel);
       for (final Pair pair : inners)
       {
          if (pair.level == maxLevel)
          {
             retVal.add(pair.property);
          }
          else if (pair.level > maxLevel)
          {
             maxLevel = pair.level;
             retVal.clear();
             retVal.add(pair.property);
          }
       }
       return retVal;
    }

Prince Charming in Strasbourg
It was just about a year ago that my sister and I took a 4-day jaunt
to enchanting Strasbourg, a city full of surprises.
Anticipating a charming city awash in gingerbread houses and
picturesque canal walkways, we got that -- and a whole lot more.
Strasbourg is like a 4-scoop ice cream cone, each flavor melting into the other.
You get a taste of France, Germany, Medieval, and Modern in a fairly compact,
easy-to-navigate town chock-full of savory pleasures.
Strasbourg is the capitol of Alsace, the territory that's been fought over for centuries,
bartered back and forth from France to Germany and back.
It's no wonder.
The region is jam-packed with riches, surrounded by vineyards
heaping with precious fruit that produce some of the best white wines in France.
The Vosges mountains are nearby as well as an abundance of storybook villages
on the wine road and across the river butting up to Germany's Black Forest.
The city is unexpectedly cosmopolitan.
You won't find Hansel & Gretel here --- but perhaps a Prince Charming or two.
Folks here went out of their way to be helpful.
Whether scooping up our luggage or offering insight into a particular city
pleasure, the people of Strasbourg swept us off our feet.
We felt like princesses in a fairytale province.
The Cathedral is the big wow.
It's in the middle of a tightly clustered square, surrounded by shops
and restaurants --- so tall, it's tough to capture a good photo without working at it.
Cathédrale de Notre Dame is Gothic, initiated in the 11th century and completed around 1439.
Its pink sandstone glows at night but you'll want to see the stained glass during the day. Intricate carvings, a super-tall spire and monstrous gargoyles monopolize
the lacy facade -- but that's just the promising beginning.
Never one to miss lunch, I broke my golden rule and stayed
to see the "show" that starts half past midday inside the glorious church.
Here, the astronomical clock comes to life, showing off
its mechanical genius to all who are willing to stand and wait.
Just when you think you can't stand the crowds one minute longer, the chimes begin to ring,
a life-size cock crows, and the pageant begins --- an 18-inch tall figure of Jesus Christ
stands to greet his 12 apostles as they march across the mantelpiece and your imagination.
I didn't even mind being late for lunch that day.
On a prior visit to the cathedral, my husband and I were treated to a
different type of theater -- on the square just outside.
We were drawn in by the voice of an angel, notes that ranged from the top
of the music scale to a deeper tenor.
Imagine our surprise when we got a look at him - expecting to see a woman because
until that moment, he was only singing the high notes -
The guy, all buff and tough in boots and chains, looked like someone you might not
like to run into in a deserted alley -- but as soon as he opened his mouth --- with
a voice so sweet, he melted our hearts in less than five seconds.
Since then, I have discovered much of France has been treated to his amazing
talent on the French version of the popular tv series "The Voice".
Another Prince Charming in Strasbourg.
The fun doesn't stop at the cathedral and its square
(named The Grande Île, a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
Like so many cities in France, the city is carved up into distinct neighborhoods,
so it's both easy and pleasing to walk from one clear-cut quarter
to another, equally winning but unmistakably diverse.
It's not like changing horses on a merry-go-round; it's more like getting on
a completely different carousel.
You'll want to take a spin where-ever you go.
There's even a fairytale village within the city, the deservedly
famous neighborhood known as Petite France.
Located just a few short blocks away from the cathedral, you're suddenly drawn into
a fairytale world where geraniums spill over nearly every turn you make.
Half-timbered homes drip with whimsical character.
Canals and footbridges force you to stop every 30 seconds to capture a
ridiculously adorable photograph for your memory book.
It's almost unreal.
Restaurants, hotels and knickknack shops are in overabundance
but it's so pretty that even the most chintzy novelties don't ruin the mood.
Strasbourg is a cultural city, offering theater, opera, multiple museums,
art galleries and even their own philharmonic orchestra.
The Palais Rohan with it's double-feature museums -- the Musée des Beaux-Arts
and Musée des Arts Decoratifs, are very popular along with the more low-key Musée Alsacien. You'll discover museums dedicated to archeology, contemporary art and print
(honoring, of course, the famous achievement of local legend Johan Gutenberg),
if you can tear yourself away from the wondrous temptations of the outdoors.
As a university city, you'll sense a youthful exuberance everywhere you walk.
Between the cyclists and the canals, you might think you're in Amsterdam for a second or two. But then you'll turn around and find something so utterly French - or German,
depending on the neighborhood, and you'll come back to your senses.
You can even walk over a bridge and into Germany -- two for the price of one!
We took a mini-excursion over the border to Baden-Baden,
a deservedly famous German spa town.
It was a quick hop on the train and back off again --- into the welcoming embrace of
the local baths, a worthwhile novelty on a trip designed to capture the essence of the region.
My sister and I especially enjoyed a leisurely walk to the Parc de l'Orangerie.
We passed drop dead gorgeous manor-houses belonging to embassies and the
well-to-do, vowing to buy one or two when we win the lotto.
The park is stunning, drawn up by Versailles' famous designer André Le Nôtre.
Peaceful, green and happy, it's a perfect break from city life.
We got a charge out of our slow stroll, watching the kids at play and gardeners at work
while an elderly couple pushed a dog in a fancy baby carriage.
Just a day in the life....
There's a small zoo with an amazing variety of animal life as well
as a lake and other entertainments.
Don't miss this one.
There are many gratifying sights to see, too many in fact, to list here.
Strasbourg is incredibly famous for its Christmas Market (Marché de Noel),
a virtual wonderland of holiday festivities.
They're particularly proud of their Christmas traditions, claiming it was right here
where locals developed the custom of Christmas tree decorating.
The Barrage Vauban is well worth a look as is the whole modern side of the city
where the European Parliament and the Council of Europe reside.
Talk about contrasting images!
The mirrored buildings strike a progressive chord in the city,
reminding us that this Strasbourg is no museum relic.
It definitely an urban oasis that lives, evolves and continues to ripen.
Strike up the band! This is one cathedral where you'll laugh out loud.
As you walk this fresh and exuberant city, it's hard to believe some of its history.
After the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, the entire municipality was evacuated.
For ten months, the city was empty, minus a few unlucky soldiers left to stand guard.
After France fell in June of 1940, all of Alsace was surrendered to Germany.
Only residents of Alsatian origin were permitted to return.
The Jews were immediately deported to camps and the
exalted historical Synagogue burned to the ground.
During the war, the Alsatian resistance, called La Main Noire (the black hand),
was active but not too fruitful in their efforts, suffering both during and after the struggle.
Much of the old town was heavily damaged, mostly by Allied bombing,
some of it erroneously targeted.
Fortunately, the German occupiers had removed the precious stained glass in the cathedral,
presumably because Hitler had admired it, hoping to turn it into one of his own monuments.
Lucky for us but too hard to imagine in today's peaceful burg.
If you travel further back in time, Strasbourg's history is even more staggering.
As terrified as we all are over the carnage brought on by today's Ebola virus,
can you imagine a plague so terrible, to this day, no one is sure of its cause or
its resolution -- but the one sure thing we know is that
THE KILLER was DANCING MANIA.
This is no joke; people literally danced themselves to death.
Was is caused by stress & poverty -- or a curse -- or by poison, perhaps in the local rye?
Physical or psychological, this Dancing Mania - sometimes called St.Vitus'
Dance Phenomenon, literally killed thousands of people throughout Europe.
In 1518, over 400 people in Strasbourg alone had heart attacks and died.
They would dance for days, screaming, laughing and crying.
Their hallucinations were likely called visions back then, but either way, it was a killer.
Chaos, dancing and death --- truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
One can't possibly talk about Strasbourg without referencing their amazing food and wine.
A bold cuisine, it's revered world-wide, actually laying claim to dozens
of Michelin-starred restaurants in the region.
In its capitol city, you're in for a real treat.
A few standouts include choucroute (in many forms),
baeckoffe (many meats stewed for many hours), coq au Reisling,
eel stew, oie aux choux rouges (goose & red cabbage)
along with foie gras, kugelhopf, and tarte flambée.
Don't be shy, try as many tastes as you can.
The Route des Vins may not be as famous as that of neighboring Burgundy,
but it has stature and tradition -- as well as enduring fans.
There's more to celebrate in October than beer --- of course, famous brewer Kronenbourg
is not much more than a mile outside of town -- and beer is deservedly popular here.
October is wine month, too, as the region celebrates the grape harvest
with festivals and much merry-making.
Like so much of France, the cuisine and the wine pair up perfectly.
Gewurztraminer, Reisling, Sylvaner, Tokay (not the same as Hungarian Tokay)
and muscat are just a few familiar names.
The area is also valued for its eau de vie such as Kirsch and Framboise.
Eat Drink & Be Merry.
Strasbourg is a heavenly destination for lovers of good food and drink.
And it's perfectly acceptable to offer a toast in either French or German.
Prince Charming will probably reciprocate in kind.

Not having the confidence to approach the local singles near you does not mean your love life should suffer to an extent that you decide to live alone. Yes, it can be difficult to muster up courage and talk to someone you like, but it does not have to be an impossible task. If you feel that you're not good at single women dating, you can try the other alternative, which is to head straight to TenderMeets.com, the best dating website to meet singles online and you never know when you might end up bumping into someone who lives next door. The availability of so many dating sites has certainly made it possible for everyone to enjoy the dating game. No matter if you're a woman seeking the companionship of a man or the other way round, you can use a dating site to simplify it all. The only thing to remember is that not all dating sites have the resources to get you what you want. Some websites may have a good database of single women, but you may not feel satisfied if you're into some special kinds of dating or you want to hookup with a hottie. What it means is that it is possible to meet women online using any site, but it is hard to find what you're looking for from every other dating and meeting site. TenderMeets.com is different and has a long list of personals that are ready to get into a serious relationship once you can impress them in the chat room.
Once you are on TenderMeets.com, you know you're on the best dating site for singles. It is a resourceful site that gives you a direct access to a fully loaded chat room where you can meet girls and enjoy chatting for as long as you want. Finding a good match is easy and in most cases, takes minutes after registration. Of course, not all of those potential matches will work for you, but most of them will. It is natural to feel confused when you get more than one match for a relationship. To find the best, you can head straight to the chat room service. The best thing about the chat room feature is that it charges you nothing and lets you discuss your real expectation and start your new relationship on a positive note. Other sites can help you date online, but they do nothing to help you confirm if you're in touch with the right person. At TenderMeets.com, you can enjoy real-time communication that makes it work great for you. What it means is that if you're looking for a date in the area near you, TenderMeets.com is where you should be to make it happen. Find a date, chat with the best match, and stop being lonely! Come register today to meet some naughty and flirty folks!
