The 60 Best Travel Movies that Inspire Wanderlust: part one
Already my entire life I love to watch movies, especially the movies about travel adventures. Once I have finished watching one of these movies, I am always inspired to travel. These are the best travel movies ever, in my opinion. You can find part two of this list with 30 more amazing travel movies in this post.

The Way is a beautiful and inspiring tale about a father walking Spain's Camino de Santiago trail to honor his recently dead son.

When he visits to quickly prepare the property to be sold for millions, he gets addicted to the laid back, stress-free lifestyle of the French countryside.

Dear readers, I just thought about another great travel movie: 'the canyon'. The canyon is about a honeymooning couple who get lost in the wide expanse of the Grand Canyon and needs to survive and find help. In my opinion this movie definitely should be part of the top 10 of this list.
Regards, Daphne! =)
Thanks for such an amazing list. Just finished watching Into the wild & completely mesmerized with the story & acting in the movie. Added all others which are unseen into my watch list.
Adrenaline Romance
Amazing movies! We watched some of them (Into the Wild, 127 Hours, Wild, Everest, Eurotrip, etc.) and we plan to watch more in your list. These movies can really inspire someone to pack up and enter into the exciting world of traveling and adventuring!

Thanks for your comment. I am definitely going to watch these movies!
The Sheltering Sky – based on the novel of the same name, by Paul Bowles. And the movie "Baraka."
Thanks for your input! The sheltering sky seems to be a nice movie to watch. I already love the quote in the movie trailer: 'we are not tourists, we are travellers. A tourist is someone who thinks about going home in the moment they arrived, we as a traveller might not come back at all'.

Q: How do I use javascript to simulate a mouse click (in Google Maps)? http://geodit.com:8000/test
Here, I have a simple Google Local Search API and Google Maps code.
How do I make it so that when I click the title of a search result, I simulate the clicking of the address? My objective is to make the pop up box appear on the map by clicking the title.  I binded it to this:
$(".gs-title").click(function(){

    //SIMULATE MOUSE CLICK of the address HERE
    $(this).parent().parent().find(".gs-address").click(); // this doesn't work!!

    alert("the title was clicked!!"); //this works fine.
    return false; //this also works fine. The hyperlink gets disabled because I returned false.

});

I want to be able to click the title, NOT open the link. And then, pop up the box on the map. In other words, I want to treat the the result as a whole.

A: Solved. I removed the A tags manually.
// Returns the HTML we display for a result before it has been "saved"
    LocalResult.prototype.html = function() {
      var me = this;
      var container = document.createElement("div");
      container.className = "unselected";
      container.appendChild(me.result_.html.cloneNode(true));
      $(container).find('a').replaceWith(function() { return $(this).contents(); });

      return container;
    }

A: The Html code is:

California Pizza Kitchen

...

so I think right path coul'd be:
$("a.gs-title").click(function(){

 $(this).parent().siblings('.gs-address').click();return false;
});

Saturday Horse Racing Preview & Tips – 10th August – Mayfair Spirit Can Advance To Victory
November 6, 2019 August 9, 2019 by Every Tip
Ascot, Haydock and Newmarket are the places to be, this weekend. If the rain holds off, then a great day of action lies in store. Seymour Biz picks out 4 horses for your Lucky 15 bet and includes a Charlie Fellowes inmate, running at Haydock, that has already tasted success on the Merseyside course. Find all previous UK racing previews in his weekly column: Saturday Horse Racing Tips.

Saturday sees the return of the Shergar Cup to Ascot and as a spectacle it makes a fine sight. But as a betting medium it is a pure waste of time, you may as well pick your favourite number and follow that all afternoon. So I have chosen to ignore it as the television cameras are also at Haydock and Newmarket where we have some real racing going on. The main race of the day at Haydock is the Rose of Lancaster Sakes which is being televised, this is flanked by some fine handicap action, which unfortunately is not. But with most bookmakers if you bet online you are able to watch the races on your device. At Newmarket the Sweet Solara Stakes is the highlight of a fine card but is the only race on ITV4. Again some fine handicaps are ignored by celestial television, so with that in mind as people like to see where there money is going here are my thoughts on the TV races along with a fine handicap at Haydock.
Start at Haydock Park with the 1.55, the Vulcan Village Handicap over a mile, a race which is not on TV. Top weight here is Roger Fell's 8-year-old Club Wexford who has shown some fine form in the north this season but he was behind Humble Gratitude at Chester last time and seems to have too much weight here. Similarly Humble Gratitude has a 7lbs penalty for that win and that may hold him back. King's Pavilion finally got his head in front last time at Beverly beating Markazi, I would expect him to confirm those placings but this is a much classier contest. Young Fire looks interesting for David O'Meara, this French import ran a good second at Longchamp in May but may be best watched here. Helovaplan is a pretty consistent sort and he was a decent second at Beverley but he's stepping up in class and has never won at this level. Tom Dascombe's Mickey won here at Haydock last time and he does appear on the upgrade but I'm not sure if he gets a mile. The one I like is near the bottom of the handicap and that is Charlie Fellowes' Mayfair Spirit. He is another stepping up in class but is getting wight from most of the other contenders, added to that he looks like he enjoys racing at Haydock having won twice here this season over the same distance. Still only a 3-year-old but he is improving with each run and may have the ability to take this.
The British Stallion Studs EBF Dick Hern Stakes is at 2.30 and it has produced an exciting field. William Haggas sends his unbeaten filly, Miss O'Connor. She didn't run at 2 or 3 but won going away at Gowan Park this year then romped home by 11 lengths at Nottingham last week, that was a very impressive performance. Ralph Beckett's Feliciana De Vega is also unbeaten, winning twice last year including a victory on the all-weather at Deauville but this is her first run of the year and she is best watched. John Gosden runs Mulchy who won at Ascot in May but has found Listed company a little hot since. David O'Meara's Agincourt was only beaten just over a length in a Listed race at Pontefract last time and won at York earlier in the season. She has not been out of the frame this year but may have to settle for a place again. Ardiente ran a fair third in her comeback race last month and will have come on for that for trainer Ed Vaughan. But it's Miss O'Connor for me to continue her winning ways.
At 3.05 the Rose Of Lancaster Stakes has only attracted a small field but there is some class among the contenders. Wissahickon was a star on the all-weather during the winter winning Listed and Group races at Lingfield, but he had his colours lowered by Matterhorn when odds-on in the Easter Classic. He also has fine turf form with wins last year at Newmarket and York and the combination of Gosden and Dettori has proved this year to be pretty formidable. William Haggas's Addeyebb won the Wolferton at Royal Ascot handsomely but was then well beaten by Elarqam at York, I know he has moved up in class but I can't help feeling he is essentially a handicapper. As to the 3-year-olds here, Pontus trained by James Fanshawe won two low class races in May but has been unable to raise his game when tried at Listed and Group level. A better prospect is Andrew Balding's Raise You, who after winning his maiden in April went on to win in Listed company at Newmarket in May. His latest run at Chantilly in early June was too bad to be true and I feel there was something amiss as the colt has had a 70 day break. If he can rediscover his spring form he will go close but it's Gosden and Dettori for me.
Moving to Newmarket,at 3.45 is the German-thoroughbred.com Sweet Solara Stakes which always attracts a promising crop of 2-year-old fillies. Soffika won impressively at Pontefract in June for Sir Michael Stoute after missing the break. She soon got the hang of things and went away over the last 100 yards. Ultra Violet from Ed Vaughan's is another who won her maiden impressively, that was at Newmarket in June where she romped home by 8 lengths. Mark Johnson's West End Girl won at Haydock on her debut then went to Sandown where she was hampered and finished fifth. Second in that race was Light Blush trained by Charlie Appleby who had won previously here at Newmarket. They ran into a good horse that day at Sandown in Walk In Marrakesh. Romsey was also in that race but found herself short of room and finished fourth. Richard Fahey has Diamond Sparkles in the mix who was a winner at Thirsk in July and she can make the frame. But that Sandown race last month seems to have the answers to this contest and I will take the runner-up there to go one better and take this.

Censorship Forum at the Sydney Film Festival
Dangerous Dreamers: Fantasy, Passion and Psychosis in Heavenly Creatures
Va Savoir! (Who Knows!, 2001, Jacques Rivette)
Six characters in search of (variously) a lost play, a stolen ring, has-been and would-be lovers and who knows what, finally converge on a stage set for Pirandello's play, As you desire me. Such a mix of objects and bodies is usually the stuff of farce and Rivette's film Va Savoir!, which begins and ends on a theatre set, is certainly not farce. The convergence of theatre and film is at the heart of Rivette's new film and indeed lies at the heart of his cinematic project.
Va Savior! begins with a patch of moving blue light on a black screen, forming itself into a theatrical spotlight illuminating Camille (played by Jeanne Balibar), the main character, in a silhouette: this turns out to be a lighting rehearsal. The high angled shot, a cinematic rather than a theatrical point of view, creates a divergence from the theatrical. It is the endless convergence and divergence between film and theatre that is for me the most mysterious aspect of Rivette's film. It is this sense of the endlessness of this process of exchange that makes comments on Rivette's work, such as "theatre as the back drop to the main action", "theatre as the illusion to the reality of the off-stage drama", "theatre as metaphor" and so on, not quite satisfactory in their description of his cinematic relationship to theatre. Of course having seen only one other Rivette film, Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974), I am hardly in a position to say anything well informed and researched but I will have a go at conjecturing on the basis of just these two films. And it does help to note that Rivette's production company for Va Savoir! is called La Losange, which evokes those magic lollies that Celine and Julie suck as an "Open Sesame" device to enter the mansion and rescue a little girl trapped by a trio of melodramatically scheming adults so that they could go sailing merrily down the stream.
There is much mirth, some sadness and enough madness in Va Savoir! to make it a very special kind of film, an unusual mixture of sensations, moods and manners. Luckily for us, for Rivette, theatre still has a certain magic – so for example, the staginess of Pirandello's domestic mise en scène and the formality of its rhetoric seeps into the everyday gestures and movements within the film, like walking, sitting and talking, just sitting, opening doors and closing them and so on. But because As you desire me is cut into the action of the six characters both in and out of the theatre – that is, there is a montage effect between the formal mise en scène of the play and the everyday – these everyday movements take on a strange formality. Or rather, it is as though because of the way in which Pirandello's play is cut in, one begins to pay attention to the non-theatrical movements of the film in a particular way. We know that Rivette improvises and is interested in the very process of filming and that Pirandello's play calls for a different means of plotting movements and gestures, but somehow the two systems infiltrate each other so that it is difficult to say where theatre ends and film begins. They seem to be in a continuous circuit whose operations are not logical, linear and sequential, as the montage suggests. I would like to propose that consequently one focuses on the theatrical mise en scène of the film and the voices in a different way than one does on the purely cinematic sequences. This duel foci and a seeming arbitrary switching between the two does something to the quality of attention. This is a little hypothesis that would need more than one viewing to develop further.
For a while now I have been working on Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (1999) and Kumar Shahani's Kasba (1991, India) and like Rivette, these two directors also create a relationship with other, pre-cinematic art forms. What theatre is to Rivette, painting is to Kubrick and Shahani. This topic is itself a vast one and Robert Bresson hinted at it in his answer to two Dutch students of cinema in their interview with the director in Road to Bresson (De Weg naar Bresson, Leo De Boer and Jurriën Rood, 1984) when he spoke of the importance of the other arts for cinema. This leads me to think that these directors (among others) create for themselves a storehouse or archive of aesthetic stuff serviceable to their work in film. To put this differently, theatre for Rivette, painting and theatre for Kubrick, and painting and dance for Shahani offer a virtual sphere to the actuality of their films. Thereby the pre-technological and the technological are intertwined in complex circuits creating various unpredictable moves. These filmmakers are great auteurs who have worked in cinema across major technological changes, from anywhere between 30 to 50 years. And I believe that their ability to do so on their own terms is due partly to their relationship to a past artform of their choice. There is a desire for theatre, painting and dance in their work and so these ancient art forms come forth to their beckoning, whispering to them "as you desire me", and they do yield a magical, vital force so that Rivette can make a two and a half hour film that moves at an extraordinarily leisurely pace in 2001. Think of Camille's escape through a skylight, from her farcical imprisonment in a room by her former lover. What a deliciously slow escape it is and how long she takes to walk on that metallic roof wearing those horrible sandals. Why didn't she remove them and step lightly over the rooftops? But as she did what she did, at the pace she decided on and with the racket of her sandals on the metal, one could also hear her measured pacing of the stage, its creaking wood, its weight, which is nothing other than the weight of time as duration, so lightly evoked. And in this stretched out sequence she transforms from the haunted and tormented Cia of Pirandello and the somewhat sad Camille longing for Arthur into a creature as light as Celine or Julie.
Jeanne Balibar is both a classically trained actress and a dancer and has the most expressive scapulae I have ever seen in an actress; one notices them much more on models but here we register the tone of Camille's body, its mood, by Rivette's camera tracking her from behind in her beautiful low cut dresses. Thus the line of her body becomes as articulate as her face, even more so, just as her voice is, because it speaks both French and Italian in very different registers. I don't think I have heard an actress express her desire to simply sleep, so sensuously as Balibar's Camille does.
Though Camille's smile at a certain angle came close to becoming hyperreal (like Julia Roberts'), this effect was deflected by the montage of her persona, her face, her voice and her body working in quite different cinematic and theatrical registers. (1) And it is, I think, an idea of the theatre and of theatricality, peculiar to Rivette that enables him to modulate his rhythm and create such an enchantingly relaxed film, full of walking, longing, silliness, lots of talking (so varied) and so much time with so many books and an irrepressibly joyous minor character, the bubbly middle-aged mum of Do, Madame Desprez, with her passion for baking pastries and Black Forest cake.
"Hyperreal" is used here in the sense of an absence of affect, a sense of unreality. Roberts' pearly white smile takes on this lack of quality though Camille's smile does not show any teeth. It is something to do with the smile's proliferation and endless repetition: you come to a point of feeling is this real, is this false, and end up realising that you can't tell, a symptom of hyperreality.

Becker denies 'discussions or contact' with Murray for coach role
LONDON - Former German tennis star Boris Becker has denied suggestions that he may become coach or advisor to Britain's world No. 3 Andy Murray.ecker regularly practices at the National Tennis Centre at Roehampton, where Murray also works out when he is in Britain.
"It's true I play there and see him, but there have been no discussions between us and no contact with his team, contrary to some suggestions," the Daily Express quoted Becker, as saying.
"Although coaching is something I'd not rule out at a later date, there has been no association with Andy. We get on well with each other, and when we meet up we do talk tennis, but anything else is not on the agenda," he added.
Earlier, it was reported that Becker had expressed a desire to revive British men's tennis from its present dreadful state.
The 42-year-old has already held talks with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) about the possibility of him taking a prominent role in developing new stars in the country.
He is said to have expressed interest in the part-time role of men's coach vacated by American Paul Annacone, who has left the LTA to work with Roger Federer. (ANI)

We made this custom tote bag as a birthday gift for our friend, Gretchen, using a photo of her dog, Alfred.
We uploaded a photo of Alfred to Cute Cutter to make an SVG cut file. Then we used our Cricut Maker to cut the SVG out of heat transfer vinyl (HTV). Lastly, we applied it to a blank canvas tote bag using the Cricut EasyPress.
It was a huge hit! We saw her again a week later and she told us she had worn it every day since!
In this tutorial, we'll provide step-by-step instructions for making an HTV project with Cute Cutter, an online tool that can turn any photo into an SVG cut file that you can cut with your Cricut.
Heat press. We recommend the Cricut EasyPress with the Cricut EasyPress Mat. You can also use an iron.
We ordered a few blank canvas tote bags off of Amazon and this one was our favorite. The handles are a good length (others were too short) and it's nice and sturdy.
We love Siser EasyWeed HTV. It is super easy to weed, as the name suggests. It's thin and you can layer it. Once you apply it with heat it sticks really well and the cover sheet comes off with no problems. Getting a good stick has been an issue for us using other brands.
Siser's "Electric" colors of EasyWeed have a subtle sheen that catches light very nicely. Electric Rose Gold is our favorite color and what we used for this project.
We like using Cricut's EasyPress for HTV projects because you can dial in an exact temperature and get a nice flat press. You can also use a normal clothes iron, but we've found it harder to get consistent results. We have the 9"x9" EasyPress, which didn't fully cover our design, but it's no problem — you can just apply the design with multiple presses.
Turn on 'Mirror' for each layer. Don't forget this or your design will be reversed! Then click 'Continue' in the bottom right corner.
Load your HTV shiny side down.
Use the 'Iron-on' setting for Siser EasyWeed. Follow the prompts on the screen to cut your two HTV layers.
Next you need to weed your excess HTV (everything that's not your design) from the clear carrier sheet.
Start by trimming down your HTV with scissors. You can save your scraps for another project.
Start your weeding by digging your weeding tool into a corner. Pull up and you'll break the seal between the HTV and the carrier sheet. Carefully peel away the excess HTV around your design.
You'll also need to weed out any holes in your design.
Double check that you haven't left anything in that shouldn't be there.
We like to pre-shrink the tote bag by running it in the dryer on high for 15 minutes. We do this even if a bag is marketed as "pre-shrunk".
The key to layering HTV is to not "overcook" the bottom layer. If you pressed each layer for 15 seconds, the bottom layer would receive 30 seconds of heat. Too much heat can cause HTV to dry out, resulting in cracking or poor adhesion.
Instead you should "tack" the bottom layer for just a few seconds. This will get it to stick to the bag enough so that you can peel the carrier. Then you can press the top layer for the full time. Siser has more tips on layering HTV in this blog post.
Set your heat press for 305°F.
Lay your tote bag flat on your Cricut EasyPress Mat. If you don't have an EasyPress Mat, make sure to use a hard, flat surface. Don't use an ironing board — it's too squishy. Instead use a folded towel on a table as your base.
Preheat your tote bag for 3 seconds.
Lay the bottom (pink) layer on the bag. You can use the bag's handles as a reference for centering.
Place a cover sheet over the HTV to protect it. We use parchment paper.
Press firmly for 2 seconds. Our EasyPress is only 9"x9", so it wasn't big enough to cover our whole design. So we pressed the top part for 2 seconds, then the bottom part for 2 seconds. When working with the EasyPress or any iron, keep in mind that the center will be the right temperature but near the edges it will be cooler.
Great! The bottom layer is tacked!
Now carefully align the black layer and place it on top.
Place your protective cover sheet over it.
Press firmly for 10 seconds. Again, we had to do two separate presses to heat our whole design.


The Eberspacher 80110003 Modulator temperature controller is an extremely popular and economic choice for your Airtronic heater system.
This unit is supplied with extended runtime facility enabled. If you require 1 hr runtime enabled please reconfigure using information within our installation instruction weblink below.
Please note - The built in temperature sensor is ideal for temperature sensing at the controller mounting location. However the wiring harness supplied with the Eberspacher Airtronic Heaters sold in the UK will not automatically default to this sensing method.
If you require temperature sensed at the controller mounted location (as an alternative to temperature sensing at the heater inlet), then the grey wire from the digital controller must be connected to the grey wire in the heater wiring harness (this can be found at the heater diagnostic plug). Also for the diagnostic function on some heaters the blue & white wire may not be available at the standard controller wiring connections, in which case a wire will need to be routed and connected from the blue & white connection at the diagnostic plug.

Studium and Punctum in psychoanalytic writing: Reading case studies through roland barthes
Dana Amir
Department of Counseling and Human Development
This paper focuses on the link between Roland Barthes's reflection on photography and the essential characteristics of psychoanalytic case studies. The case study, like the photograph, seeks to take hold of something nearly intangible. It attempts to capture in time, space, and language something whose dynamic presence remains elusive. The attempt to capture this object often strips it of its essence. Case studies may be accurate on their face while giving us the unpleasant sense that they have "deadened" their object in the process. This paper attempts to clarify what is dropped from the picture that the psychoanalytic writing is trying to take. The relation between the "cultural context" (the Studium) and the freedom to puncture and undermine this context in psychoanalytic writing is discussed through a fresh reading of Georges Perec's "W, or the Memory of Childhood" and through clinical vignettes by Ronald Britton and Michael Eigen.

Yesterday during the BUILD conference in San Francisco one of the main major news was the announcement of multiple new product versions for you preferred development platform and operation system (Visual Studio 2013, Team Foundation Server 2013, .NET 4.5.1 and Windows 8.1).
Those are preview version, which means that there is no support and that the final version could still be modified. In the past we have already seen that APIs have been changed and new functionalities been added to final versions.So you should use them for educational purpose only.
I have installed those versions in a VM to be able to test them and to give you some feedback on my blog. I am going to show you some of the new features in action in the next days/weeks. So stay tuned if you are interested in this topic.

Supporting Healthcare in Leadville & Lake County, Colorado
Through service, outreach, and development, the Leadville Community Health Fund promotes and sustains the highest level of healthcare for Lake County and our community by supporting the programs and services of St. Vincent Health.
The Leadville Community Health Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit fundraising organization that invests in the important work, programs, and infrastructure of St. Vincent Health and the communities of Leadville and Twin Lakes. Its staff and volunteer leadership strive to carry on the hospital's long history of caring for the community since 1879.
Individual, corporate, civic, and nonprofit gifts allow us to continue making progress toward a better tomorrow—and provide equipment and services that may one day help you, your family, your friends and neighbors. Your tax-deductible gift combines with grant funds and other sources to enable us to continue to improve our facility, and ultimately support community health.
The new modern hospital opened in 2021 bringing surgical services back on site enabling general surgery and many other procedures to take place locally. We are thankful to our donors and funders who helped make this $24 million dream come true!
Now looking forward, our fundraising focus has turned to a new 4×4 Dodge ambulance along with its supporting equipment which will be delivered in 2023. We are currently taking donations and writing grants for this $350,000 project.
The St. Vincent Health ambulance department runs two crews 24/7; primary and secondary crews of 2 first responders each. We serve all of Lake County, Colorado, answering 100% of medical 911 calls. Lake County is approximately 400 square miles and has a population of 8,000. In the summer the population swells by approximately 30% with recreation enthusiasts and tourists flocking to the mountains.
The need for this project is to ensure reliable vehicles and equipment for the only 911 response ambulance service in Lake County, Colorado. As an embedded ambulance service at St. Vincent, our service responds to 911 medical, traffic accidents, gas leaks, wildland fire calls, and other trauma calls.
When Leadville Lake County Fire and Rescue (LLCFR) completes the southern fire station in 2022, SVH will provide an ambulance crew and one ambulance to be in residence at the station 24/7. For the first time ever the response times to traumas in Lake County will be reduced by approximately 20 minutes. Additionally, we will be closer to many wildland deployments with LLCFR.
Specified & Non-Specified Gifts
Make a gift toward our ambulance and equipment, or make a general gift, to be applied to the area of greatest need. You can donate online through our portal:
Send a check: If you prefer, you may mail your donation to LEADVILLE COMMUNITY HEALTH FUND at 822 W. 4th St. Leadville, CO 80461, or physically drop it off at the hospital.

In only 46.7% of his games (seven of 15 opportunities), Arnold has surpassed his average receiving yards prop bet (25.6).
Arnold is averaging 45.7 yards per game in his last three outings against the Rams, 17.2 more than his receiving yards prop bet over/under for Sunday's game (28.5).
Arnold has exceeded Sunday's projected receiving yards total of 28.5 yards two times in three career games against the Rams.


A Thri-keen player character has mandibles and may bite a creature, dealing 1d4 damage. Additionally, due to their chitinous shell they gain -1[+1] to Armor Class.
Thri-Keen player characters must be Clerics, Druids, Fighters, or Rangers. A Thri-keen that is solely a Fighter may take advantage of any XP bonus due to a high Strength score to gain experience more quickly. They may also be Fighter-Clerics levels. Thri-keen advancing in more than one class are limited to 4th level Fighter (5th level with Strength of 17, 6th level with Strength of 18) and 8th level Cleric (9th with a Wisdom of 18). Regardless of any further progression in levels as a Druid, Thri-Keen are able to cast magic spells only as high as 5th-level spells.

A quick look at the strategic environment reveals myriad complex sets of threats and opportunities that require effective integration of all sources of American power—hard and soft. However, our national security system is grossly imbalanced and finds it easier to mobilize resources for hard-power assets than soft-power capabilities. The Project on National Security Reform has examined numerous case studies, such as the Iraq War, the disestablishment of the U.S. Information Agency, and missions in Bosnia and Kosovo, that illustrate how inadequate reserves of soft-power resources have deprived the United States of its ability to employ all requisite elements of national power. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, among others, has been outspoken on the subject, stating when he came into office, "I am here to make the case for strengthening our capacity to use 'soft' power and for better integrating it with 'hard' power." Our national security system must employ a more balanced approach that can adequately resource, train, and equip the full range of civilian instruments required to operate successfully in today's security environment. We must also empower mechanisms, such as interagency teams, that can effectively integrate hard and soft power by establishing common national security goals to create unity of purpose and by carrying out those goals jointly to achieve unity of effort.

Breath Calorimetry: What is it?
Calibre™ is the first wearable of its kind, but the science behind it is well known and established. Breath measurement is considered by medical experts as one of the most accurate ways to understand your body but has been widely unknown to the public.
Breath calorimetry, a.k.a. indirect calorimetry, measures gas exchange (oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output), which is then analyzed to determine the amount of energy and type of nutrient fuel used at any given time.
Long story short: your breath says a lot.
So why Calibre™?
While breath calorimetry has been relied upon for decades, there was no easily accessible device for ordinary people to use in order to tap into this biometric gold mine. Historically, this type of data could only be found in high-end sports labs and hospitals, where subjects would be tethered to tubes and heavy equipment. The entire process would be expensive and inconvenient, only available to competitive athletes or special patients.
Enter Calibre™: the first wearable fitness and metabolic tracker using real-time breath calorimetry.
Measuring 50 times per second, Calibre™ reads and captures oxygen intake, carbon dioxide production, respiratory flow & volume, and more. Taking these measurements and complicated formulas, the Calibre™ app is then able to help determine a multitude of metrics like the calorie burn rate, %carb vs. %fat burned, and minute volume, VO2, and more.
Calibre™ is designed to be used anywhere, anytime, and by anyone.
We have mastered the science and performed countless tests to ensure that you get the most reliable results possible. Calibre's system is compared against state of the art medical-grade sensors and has proved a remarkable 99.5% repeatability in our lab testing.
If you want to learn more about breath calorimetry and its relation to metabolism, you can check out any of the numerous studies and professional reviews available online. You can also ask us at info@calibrebio.comfor any additional information!
We are truly the first device to democratize the use of the gold standard of metabolic rate measurement "breath/indirect calorimetry". This science has been utilized and vetted for decades but simply has not been available due to system limitations, size and high cost.
Calibre has eliminated the barriers to access and finally made it possible to measure with ease and accuracy outside of a sports performance laboratory or clinical setting.
Unlock the data in your breath and master your respiratory metrics and metabolism.


There was one of the pilgrims from Canada who was a member of the National Assembly, and it was the night of her departure before returning home to Canada. And she was talking to him about translating the Bahá'í literature into the Eskimo language. You see, up in the north of Canada, there are lots of Eskimos. In the north of Canada, it's snow and ice all the time. They never have the warm sunshine like you have here. It never gets warm. They never have these beautiful flowers, and they never have the beautiful birds which you have. So she asked Shoghi Effendi for permission when translating into the Eskimo language to use designations of things in the writings which were familiar to the Eskimos. For instance, she said in the writings, Bahá'u'lláh speaks about the nightingale and the rose. Now she said, up in the Eskimo country they don't know what a nightingale is, and they don't know what a rose is. So can we use the word "penguin", for instance, or some flower, some of the ice flowers which grow in some of those northern lands. Shoghi Effendi said that when you are translating any literature about the Cause written by other than the prophets or 'Abdu'l-Bahá, yes, you can change and use any other illustrations you want. But when you translate Bahá'u'lláh's words, or 'Abdu'l-Bahá's words, or the Guardian's words, you translate them exactly as they are. You can't change anything, and you have to translate "nightingale" and "rose" for the Eskimos. Well, the next night, when the Guardian came over and was bidding her goodbye, he reached in his coat pocket again and brought out a bottle of attar of rose, a very rich oil of rose, the best, most beautiful perfume of rose that there is. And he said, I give you this attar of rose so that when you return to Canada, you can anoint the friends on my behalf and give them all my love. Then in a minute or two, he reached in his pocket and took out another bottle of attar of rose, and he says, this bottle is for the Eskimos. When you make any Eskimos Bahá'ís, you anoint them with this attar of rose, and give them my love, and in that way they will become acquainted with the rose of Persia.

Q: Adding multiple rows into an existing table via VBA / button with the ability to repeat as needed I have been piecemealing code based on internet research.
I am attempting to add a row to the table (with a button).

*

*I am looking to add the row between Rows 6 and 7 so the user could add location 4-1, 5-1 etc.

*After the row is added I want the same formatting applied (all outlines) and the formulas in the non-highlighted columns to be carried over as well into the newly created row.

*From my understanding the way I have the SUM formula at the bottom of the table it should automatically expand itself to account for the newly added rows.

*If it assists with an example, the name of this table is "Prop_Exp".

*The code I have will work on one instance, but within the same workbook I need to create other "add row" buttons for various classes of business. The references end up being shifted based on if any rows were added in the preceding sections.

*All tables have a uniform number of columns and formulas so I feel its a matter of finding the bottommost row in the table based on finding the word total (or other metric) and then from that reference point adding a row based on offset and then copy/paste from there (again with offset).

What I have tried
My gut reaction was to include the information within various tabs so there would be only one "total" row. And I could Ctrl+Down Arrow to find the bottom, but then I realized that as data is added the Ctrl+Down will no longer function as intended as the command will find the bottom in any data entered and throw off the reference point.
Sub Add_Prop_Row()
'
' Add_Prop_Row Macro
'

'
    Range("B1").Select
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    Selection.Offset(-3, 0).Select
    Selection.EntireRow.Insert , CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select
    Range(Cells(Selection.Row, 3), Cells(Selection.Row, 10)).Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-2, 0), ActiveCell.Offset(-2, 0)).Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulasAndNumberFormats, Operation:= _
        xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    Range("C1").Select
End Sub

I searched for a way to reference the word "total" in a table. Thought process was once I could find the word "total" I could use offset from there, and if need be find a way to loop the command to keep finding it as a reference, but the match formula is giving me an error.
Sub Macro2()

' Macro2 Macro
'

ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Prop_Exp").Range.Select
.Formula = Match(Total, $A:$A,0)

End Sub

The Haikou government set up its MICE department in 2012 to analyse (the then) current situation with regard to facilities, infrastructure, activities / incentives and other barriers to successfully attracting and staging both national and international meetings in Haikou. The goal was to do a gap analysis against what would be necessary to turn Haikou into a world class location for MICE activities and put a development plan in place. To date the plan has enjoyed a huge amount of success.
Haikou's purpose built MICE facility can easily accommodate activities up to 10,000 m2 (26 in 2014 with a throughput of 1.5 million people) and the number of international events held there each year is growing. Successful international events to date include, international logistics, culture, sports tourism (golf and yachting), and pharmaceutical conventions.
Haikou has in excess of 30 event / destination management companies, high speed fiber optics internet, purpose built venues on the west coast just outside Haikou in beautiful natural locations with ease of access to the airport and city centre.
The reduction is expected to cut 2 trillion yuan (298 billion U.S. dollars) in taxes for more than 30 million enterprises in China.

Munich - In the first six months of 2018, BayernLB continued to put in a solid business performance and increased its profit before taxes by 6.0 percent to EUR 452 million (H1 2017: EUR 426 million). Once again, all the operating segments – corporate and real estate customers, savings banks and the public sector, financial institutions and retail customers – made a positive contribution.
"The results reflect the path we have taken in the past few years, specifically placing the customer at the heart of our activities," commented BayernLB's CEO, Johannes-Jörg Riegler. "Our universal bank approach has proved its worth once again. We have built on this strong foundation, developing a grounded ethos which will enable us to rise to the challenges of the future and achieve success for both ourselves and our customers. We will continue in this vein, acting as a steadfast partner to German business and working to establish BayernLB as one of the strongest regional banks in Europe in the medium term," Riegler continued.
Consolidated profit (after taxes) climbed to EUR 342 million (H1 2017: EUR 330 million). BayernLB's fully loaded capital ratio (CET1 ratio) is 14.4 percent and remains very solid. Return on equity (RoE) improved to 10.0 percent in the first six months of 2018 (H1 2017: 9.6 percent). At 59.5 percent, the cost/income ratio (CIR) was on par with the year-before period and remained within the target range (H1 2017: 59.5 percent).
Despite the challenging environment, BayernLB's net interest income rose by a further 4.0 percent to EUR 879 million (H1 2017: EUR 845 million) thanks to a sharp increase at DKB.
Net commission income, by comparison, was down slightly at EUR 132 million (H1 2017: EUR 141 million). In addition, the Bank benefited from its conservative risk policy and posted positive net risk provisions in the credit business of EUR 103 million (H1 2017: EUR 90 million). Good portfolio quality, the stable economic environment in the Bank's core markets and recoveries on written down receivables were contributory factors.
Gains or losses on fair value measurement totalled EUR 35 million, considerably less than the previous-year figure of EUR 143 million. This was due to lower income from customer-driven business with capital market products and slimmer measurement gains. In addition, measurement gains overstated the year-before period figure.
Administrative expenses grew slightly by 5.4 percent to EUR 644 million (H1 2017: EUR 612 million). This was largely due to higher expenses for meeting regulatory requirements, strategic investments in sales and Group-wide initiatives to digitalise the Bank's business and operating model.
Expenses for the bank levy and deposit guarantee scheme comprised a total charge of EUR 90 million (H1 2017: EUR 84 million). This included EUR 52 million for the bank levy (H1 2017: EUR 52 million) and a EUR 38 million contribution to the Savings Banks Finance Group's deposit guarantee scheme (H1 2017: EUR 31 million).
Total assets and risk-weighted assets (RWAs) edged up in response to BayernLB's expansion of its lending and money market business with customers. As at 30 June, BayernLB's total assets amounted to EUR 226.3 billion, 5.5 percent higher than at the end of 2017. RWAs rose slightly by 4.8 percent to EUR 64.4 billion.
Rating agency Fitch raised BayernLB's viability rating in the second quarter to bbb+, to reflect the Bank's positive performance, its significantly improved capital base and good asset quality. The rating for subordinated bonds (Tier 2) followed suit, climbing one notch to BBB. The long-term issuer rating of A- was confirmed with a stable outlook.
The Corporates & Mittelstand segment reported profit before taxes of EUR 181 million (H1 2017: EUR 212 million). Impacted by tough competition and the resulting pressure on margins, operating earnings from net interest and net commission income declined to EUR 184 million (H1 2017: EUR 201 million). The income from capital market products, by contrast, was mostly stable. A continuously good portfolio quality, further releases of risk provisions and high recoveries on written down receivables resulted in net positive risk provisions of EUR 125 million (H1 2017: EUR 133 million). BayernLB further expanded its lending business with corporate customers to EUR 54 billion, an increase of EUR 1 billion compared to the year-before period (H1 2017: EUR 53 billion).
In the Real Estate & Savings Banks/Association segment, profit before taxes was down on the year-before period at EUR 73 million (H1 2017: EUR 100 mil-lion). A large portion of the segment's earnings once more came from the real estate business, which posted profit before taxes of EUR 57 million (H1 2017: EUR 79 million). Persistently high customer demand drove up the volume of new business acquired compared to the year-before period, which in turn also pushed up operating earnings by EUR 4 million to EUR 100 million. At EUR -10 million, profit before taxes in business with savings banks (Savings Banks & Association division) was slightly below that of the year-before period (EUR -9 million). BayernLabo, BayernLB's development institute for residential construction, posted profit before taxes of EUR 19 million (H1 2017: EUR 23 million). Earnings at Real I.S., BayernLB's real estate management company, were on par with the previous-year period at EUR 6 million.
The Bank's capital market activities, customer business with financial institutions and the asset management subsidiary BayernInvest are bundled under the Financial Markets segment. The segment's profit before taxes amounted to EUR 21 million (H1 2017: EUR 106 million), whereby the high figure for the previous-year period was boosted significantly by high one-off income and measurement gains. Income from the customer business was stable compared with the previous year in spite of stiff competition and subdued demand. As usual, BayernLB reported earnings from Financial Markets products on behalf of the other customer-serving business segments under those segments. The release of fair value adjustments of derivatives transactions resulted once again in a small measurement gain totalling EUR 8 million in the reporting period (H1 2017: EUR 58 million). BayernInvest posted profit before taxes of EUR 3 million (H1 2017: EUR 5 million).
The DKB segment posted profit before taxes of EUR 204 million, a marked increase once again on the previous year (H1 2017: EUR 116 million). Most of this amount (EUR 190 million; H1 2017: EUR 113 million) related to the DKB sub-group, while EUR 12 million (H1 2017: EUR 2 million) related to Bayern Card-Services (BCS). Net interest income was significantly higher than the year-before period again at EUR 511 million (H1 2017: EUR 429 million) despite the persistently difficult interest-rate environment. The interest income came partly from an improved refinancing structure (e.g. a more cost-effective replacement of expiring transactions). The number of retail customers that DKB serves online broke through the 3.8 million mark.
BayernLB reaffirms its previous forecast for the year and expects profit before taxes for full year 2018 to be in the mid-triple-digit million range.
