Before Very Nobility
In the contemporary world, we think of politeness as surface behavior, like frosting - it's sweet and attractive and finishes off the cake. But 19th century nobility and the enlightened thinkers and stoics before them viewed manners in a very different way. To them, manners are an outward expression of an inward struggle.
Through Social Class
I prefer to put myself in an environment that's further afield and look through the eyes of someone who differs from me in age, ethnicity, gender, and/or social class. I think a little displacement makes me a sharper observer.
Want Nostalgia Admirable
Of course, you wouldn't want to re-create the era of aristocracy; it was a totally unfair era. The finer aspects of it were admirable, and so there's nostalgia for that: the behavior, the values, the cultural sensitivities.
Very Bay Area Boulevard
One restaurant I visit without fail, whenever I'm in the Bay Area, is the Boulevard at 1 Mission Street, a few strides from the waterfront. It has excellent food and wine very much in the modern California style, but I go there less for any one dish than for the pleasure of dining with the restaurant's chefs.
More About Tell
What can a first impression tell us about anyone? Why, no more than a chord can tell us about Beethoven, or a brushstroke about Botticelli.
Which Read Given
I had read Harold Bloom's 'Where Shall Wisdom Be Found?' Late in his life, having read everything, Bloom asked which books had given him wisdom. I had just read a bunch of contemporary novels that had no wisdom for me.
Having Woman Grandmother
My grandmother, who was simultaneously a woman of manners and verve, fended off marriage proposals until she was 30 because she was having too much fun to settle down.
Love Survive Russian
As awful as the crimes of Stalinism were, the vast majority of the Russian population was trying to survive, to love, to have a sense of purpose.
Been Fiction Kid
I've been writing fiction since I was a kid. From the age of 15 to 25, I probably wrote more than 50 short stories, one of which was published in 'The Paris Review' in 1989.
Which Art Been
My personal challenge as an artist has been having a day job which is intellectually satisfying and fun - and thus can easily supplant the desire to make art.
Hidden 1930s Civility
While I began writing 'Rules of Civility' in 2006, the genesis of the book dates back to the early 1990s, when I happened upon a copy of 'Many Are Called,' the collection of portraits that Walker Evans took on the New York City subways in the late 1930s with a hidden camera.
Purpose Hammered Elements
All the historical elements should feel organic to the story but not hammered down to serve a purpose.
Deserve Very Nature
By their very nature, human beings are so capricious, so complex, so delightfully contradictory, that they deserve not only our consideration but our reconsideration.
About Feet Instrument
Growing up, I didn't come from a musical family. Neither of my parents played an instrument, sang out loud, or listened to the radio with frequency. The record collection in the living room was only about 2 feet long - and that included 4 solid inches of Neil Diamond and Herb Alpert.
Came Revelation Boston
To a bookish boy in a Boston suburb in the mid-1970s, the lyrics of Cole Porter came as something of a revelation.
Imagined Dad Boston
Dad has worked as a banker at the same firm in Boston, living in the same suburban neighborhood for over 50 years. Later in life, when I got out of graduate school and imagined myself living the life of a writer like Hemingway or Kerouac, his practical self inevitably encouraged me to get a steady a job and raise a family, just like he did.
Always Thought Inside
I always thought I was a writer on the inside, but after a few years of not writing, you can't make that claim anymore.
Being Minutes 60 Minutes
I totally remember that: being 25 and unemployed and trying to stretch each cappuccino for 60 minutes.
Think Some I Think
I think that, every individual you invent in narrative work, you have to have some root in who that person is. That may be an aspect of yourself; it may be an aspect of something that you like, that you don't like. It may be an aspect that you wish you had. Maybe something you admire in another person.
Study Aspects Russian
We study, as Americans, the extreme aspects of repression under the Stalinist era. We're focused on them. The vast majority of Russian citizens, it was a much softer type of being disconcerted.

Use Entertainment Weekend
Users socialize to figure out what they're going to do on the weekend. They use MySpace to discover new music and post events. Musicians upload their music. People use it for entertainment purposes or to sell goods in the classified area. MySpace makes what they do in the offline world a) more efficient or b) more interesting.

Weekend Diner Trails
Now that I have a 16-month-old son, my weekend ritual has changed - but it's better than ever. We get up early and go for a walk on one of the hiking trails near my home in Los Angeles, then meet up with friends at a diner. There's nothing better than sipping coffee, eating scrambled eggs, and taking three hours to do it.

WASHINGTON – The Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) issued the following statement against President Trump's executive order to allow health plans with fewer benefits and weaker consumer protections to be exempt from Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements, and decision to end critical cost-sharing reduction payments to health insurers that help low-income Americans afford care.
The president's decision to end the ACA's cost-sharing reductions that help low-income Americans get coverage came just hours after he signed the executive order to allow alternative health care plans to avoid many ACA rules. These rules include consumer protections for the most vulnerable populations, including people with pre-existing conditions and older adults. These actions come three weeks before the Nov. 1 start of the Open Enrollment period for people to apply for coverage under the ACA and are the latest steps by the administration to weaken the health care law. Other actions by the administration to undercut the law include shortening the Open Enrollment period from three months to just 45 days, decreasing funding for navigators to help people shop for plans, cutting advertising by 90 percent, and pulling Department of Health and Human Services Regional Advisors from working on Open Enrollment.
The ACA has increased and improved access to health care for 20 million Americans, including millions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (AA&NHPIs) and other underserved populations served at health centers. These communities heavily rely on benefits and protections under the ACA and are greatly impacted by the Trump administration's latest actions to undermine the law.
AAPCHO and partners will host a webinar on Oct. 17 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. EDT on AA&NHPI Communities and Open Enrollment. To register for this webinar, go to: http://bit.ly/2g1Lkif.

Local films slowly secure a stronger foothold in their domestic markets

PANAMA CITY — The Central American and Caribbean film industries recorded significant advances in 2015, in terms of overall box-office and admissions in the region, and the commercial and critical success of select local films.
"If I had to use one word to describe box-office growth in the region in 2015 it would be – 'unbelievable,'" said Luis Vargas, Rentrak's managing director for Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, Colombia and Venezuela.
Boosted by multiplex construction, Central American box office has rocketed over recent years, $96.06 million in 2012, $108.2 million in 2014, and a massive 19.87% hike in 2015 to $129.7 million, per Vargas.
The Central American region is comprised by six territories – Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama, with El Salvador recording the highest growth – 28.9% and Honduras the lowest growth – 18.7%.
In 2015, nine multiplexes opened in Costa Rica, five in Guatemala, two in Panama and one in Honduras.
Unlike some Latin American countries, such as Venezuela and Argentina where inflation is rampant, Central America has very low inflation rates, many around 2%.
Notwithstanding numerous economic and political difficulties, the region has enjoyed rising prosperity, with an increasingly stable middle class, which has also fuelled cinema-going habits.
Vargas considers that the main driver of box-office growth in 2015, was the strength of U.S. blockbusters released, in particular "Furious 7," which he says is the highest-grossing pic ever released in Latin American history.
The three top pics in 2015 in the Central American region were "Furious 7," "Minions" and "Avengers – Age of Ultron," all of which also played in 3D releases.
IMAX films are also gaining ground in the region, and recorded an average of 13.16% growth in box-office and 10.6% in attendance. Pics released in IMAX format in 2015 included "Furious 7," "Avengers – Age of Ultron," "Jurassic World", and "Star Wars."
The surge in Central American box office provides increasing potential for local films to make inroads into their domestic markets, although U.S. films continue to dominate.
Each Central American territory releases around 150-200 titles. The highest number of local titles was recorded in Costa Rica, with seven local films released in 2015, compared to four in 2014.
Guatemala released four local films, compared to two films in 2014 and Hondurus and El Salvador, five and three titles respectively.
In Panama and Nicaragua, the number of local titles fell in 2015 – two and one respectively – compared to four and five titles respectively in 2014. This was primarily the result of a stall in production funding in 2015.
Comedies are the strongest performing local titles in their home territories, led by the break-out phenomenon of Costa Rica's comedy, "Maikol Yordan: Traveling Lost," – about a farmer who travels to Europe to raise money to save his farm from foreclosure – which is the highest-ever grossing Costa Rican pic and was the country's third most popular film in 2015, even though it was released in early December 2014.
In Honduras, the biggest local hits were the comedies, "One Crazy Summer" and "One Crazy Christmas" which were ranked No. 13 and No. 27 at the local box office.
Homegrown dramas and documentaries continue to attract local audiences, but at lower positions in B.O. charts.
The top three local films in El Salvador, in 2015, were Arturo Menéndez's debut feature, "Malacrianza" in 72nd position, and the documentaries "El Salvador: Lost Archives of the Armed Conflict, Vol. II", ranking No. 107 and "El Salvador: Lost Archives, Vol. 3", in 145th position.
In Guatemala, Jayro Bustamante's feature debut "Ixcanul," that won the Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Prize at 2015's Berlin Festival, was ranked in 45th position, Chris Kummerfeldt Quiroa's romantic comedy, "Hunting Party," in 103th position, and Marcos Machado's supernatural drama "UFOs in Zacapa" in 147th.
In Nicaragua, the five-documentary compilation project "Memories of the Revolution" was ranked in 152nd position, and Daniel Rodríguez Moya's and Ulises Juárez Polanco's documentary about poetry readings, "I Like Poems, and I Like Life" occupied 160th position.
In Panama the top titles were Enrique Perez Him's comedy "Kenke," in 113th position, "Box 25," by Delfina Vidal and Mercedes Arias, in 146th position, and the 5-shorts compilation pic "Panama Canal Stories," by Carolina Borrero, Pinky Mon, Luis Franco, Abner Benaim, and Pituka Ortega Heilbron (a holdover, being released in October 2014), in 155th position.
With further multiplexes due to open in 2016, box office in the region is expected to continue to rise and as the nascent local film industries consolidate their positions, further growth in the box office success of local films is also expected.

Bromont, Canada, 16-04-2019 -
Since last spring, BALNEA has been offering guests a new way to enhance their spa experience. Designed and built by the acclaimed architectural firm of Blouin Tardif Architecture Environnement, the Pavillon Ouest – West Pavilion – includes a large terrace, hot tub and Turkish bath. The new pavilion adds capacity to the spa, while pursuing the exceptional facility's mission: reinventing the art of relaxation through a fully immersive experience in the heart of nature.
Located in Bromont and overlooking a breathtakingly beautiful natural reserve, BALNEA has always showcased gorgeous avant-garde architecture together with its splendid site. Until recently, the spa's views were mainly over Lac Gale, while the new pavilion is designed to enhance contact with nature and the surrounding forest.
"The siting of these facilities on the west side of the spa highlights an area that had been under-used. Previously, our restaurant and its outdoor terrace occupied the space. In 2014, we moved the restaurant and terrace to the east, near the reception area. Our long-term plan has been to offer our guests more access to this sunny part of the property, with that soothing yellow light that lingers at the end of late-winter days, and delivers softer warmth on long summer afternoons," says Denis Laframboise, the spa's president and co-owner.
A sunbathed Turkish bath
Nestled in a forest of majestic maples and other species, with a burbling stream providing the soundtrack, the new facility is a natural fit for the progression of the thermal experience.
Inside, the hammam's eucalyptus vapours ease the deepest tensions. Soft natural light helps create a cozy, serene ambiance. Unlike most steam baths of this type, the space includes a large south-facing window, screened from prying eyes by smoked-glass panels. Guests enjoy as much light as possible, without sacrificing privacy.
The large terrace and hot tub
With a superb view of Lac Gale and the Appalachians, the enormous 1500 sq. ft. terrace features clean lines, along with textures and materials (including ipe wood) inspired by the most appealing trends. Its position lets guests enjoy the sun comfortably from afternoon to sunset. The terrace is naturally integrated into the environment, and leads bathers to the spectacular whirlpool bath.
The bath is designed for up to 25 bathers at a time – making it the spa's largest. "We chose an infinity pool so that the surface of the water blends into the lake in the background and the mountains beyond, but also to hide activities going on elsewhere. Bathers are sheltered from the rest of the site and embraced by the warm water, giving them a sense of total privacy," Laframboise says. In summer, the 30-foot bath is used as a relaxation pool, offering an exceptional thermal experience.
An approach that respects the environment
Because they are always working to minimize the reserve's environmental footprint, the owners have opted for a sustainable approach to everything from materials to the mechanical equipment behind the new wellness space. "To minimize our impact on the local flora and fauna, the new structures were built off-site, with only final assembly done on-site," Laframboise explains.
Nearly a year after completing the new facility, BALNEA can be proud of its higher visitor numbers, especially in winter, while still providing an immersive retreat, perfect for rest and relaxation. "Thanks to the Pavillon Ouest, we are keeping our promise of offering more open spaces to our guests, to give them a fully immersive experience," he concludes proudly.

About BALNEA spa + réserve thermale
BALNEA Spa and Thermal Reserve was officially inaugurated in October 2005, after a year and a half of planning and an investment of more than 5 million dollars. From the moment it welcomed its first guests, BALNEA, by redefining the art of relaxation and through its innovative approach, has become a reference for day spas in Quebec. Its contemporary design, its all-inclusive experience and refined ambiance for all the senses to enjoy, its client service planning, offered with authenticity and gratitude, has made BALNEA be recognized as a true icon in the industry.
The spa, beautifully nestled inside an amazing private nature reserve of the Eastern Townships, with its lean, modern architecture and breathtaking landscapes, is indeed an outstanding destination. BALNEA cultivates the art of wellness by inviting its guests to immerse themselves in this amazing environment. With its beauty rituals and massages from all around the world, eclectic spaces, Mediterranean-style Beach Club, exquisite seasonal cuisine, network of trails and its private lake, BALNEA offers a most inspiring and unique experience.

Thinking about why I chose social work as a career has helped me realise that social work chose me. When I graduated, with what is effectively an English degree, I wanted to be a journalist. I have always been interested in people and writing so it seemed a logical choice. I didn't get far. As one of many unemployed graduates in the 1980s I soon joined a Manpower Services Commission scheme in a Local Authority residential home for older people with dementia. The residents, staff and managers I met there, working as a Recreation Officer, ignited my enthusiasm for working with those more vulnerable than me. The manager instilled a truly person centred approach to the care of people living in the home. I was impressed. The staff group was committed to supporting those people as people, attending to their individuality however this was expressed. I was impressed. The residents, many of whom I remember to this day, revealed their personalities, strengths and needs in diverse ways. This could be challenging. Getting to know each one of them and their histories, helped me however, to interpret their responses in the present. One woman's behaviour, C, would have been inexplicable to anyone who did not know that she was formerly a Nursing Sister, in a time when bandages were rolled by the nursing staff on duty. At certain times of each day C would roll toilet paper as bandages. Connecting C's past and present, and that of others, impressed the importance of valuing the person whatever their difference.
Valuing difference, in the context of our commonality as human beings, commits me to working for greater social justice. In 1987 I would have used different words to express these commitments but working in that home sparked my commitment to value people and empower social justice. Unfortunately, working there also gave me the opportunity to realise the importance of resisting change which inhibits both. In 1989 we were told that the home would close as a consequence of the Local Authorities preparations for community care. This to me was unfair. Unfair on the people that lived there, who were at home there and who were so vulnerable to any change in their day to day lives. Our resistance was ultimately unsuccessful and the home closed. All of those living and working there were dispersed to the remaining resources within the Authority. However, the people I'd met as they lived and worked in that place ensured that I committed to valuing people and places, promoting social justice and resisting change that threatens it. I had not been conscious of these commitments before I started work as that Government sponsored Recreation Assistant in 1987. I welcomed those commitments then and retain them now, channelling them more recently in my work as a social work lecturer who is still enthused by social work as an agent of change. Rapid and radical policy change, with its implications for welfare and social work, has reaffirmed my commitment to resisting change which challenges and inhibits social justice and value for difference.
As I say, social work chose me. I was impressed with what it could do way back in 1987 and remain committed to what it can do now and in the future. It's tough but organisation and action to reassert the importance of relationship based social work and collective approaches in the promotion of social justice, as championed by @SWANsocialwork, inspire me and ensure my ongoing commitment to the cause.

Russia imposes sanctions on Turkey
1:01 pm on 29 November 2015
Russia has announced a package of economic sanctions against Turkey over the shooting down of a Russian jet on the Syrian border on Tuesday.

A decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin covers imports from Turkey, the work of Turkish companies in Russia and any Turkish nationals working for Russian companies.
The decree also calls for an end to charter flights between the countries.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has refused to apologise to Russia.
On Friday (local time), he accused Moscow of "playing with fire" in its Syria operations. But on Saturday, he said he was "saddened" by the downing of the jet.
Turkey and Russia have important economic links. Russia is Turkey's second-largest trading partner, while more than three million Russian tourists visited Turkey last year.
Mr Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there were close to 90,000 Turkish nationals working in Russia. Taking family members into account, that figure rose to 200,000, he said.
The decree also urged Russian tour operators to refrain from selling packages to Turkey, while Turkey's Foreign Ministry has warned its citizens against non-essential travel to Russia "until the situation becomes clear".
In fact, shoppers have already been affected.
Earlier this week, Russia's agriculture minister said that around 15 percent of Turkish produce did not meet Russian safety standards. Some imports were blocked, and trucks stranded at borders.
The new sanctions will mean some imports will be stopped - but it is not yet clear which.
Turkey has exported food and agricultural produce worth over €1bn ($NZ1.6 billion) to Russia already this year, and Russia said 20 percent of its vegetable imports came from Turkey.
Turkey's Anadolu Agency said exports of leather, textiles and clothes to Russia were worth more than $1.52bn ($NZ2.3b) last year.
Russia mixes food and foreign policy
On Friday (local time) Russia suspended its visa-free arrangement with Turkey.
Mr Erdogan has asked for a meeting with Mr Putin, who wants an apology from Turkey before he will agree to talks.
Turkey said the Russian plane had intruded into its airspace and ignored warnings to leave.

But Moscow maintained that its SU-24 fighter jet was downed by a missile fired from a Turkish jet inside Syria.
Mr Putin has also firmly rejected any suggestion Turkey did not recognise the plane as Russian. He said it was easily identifiable and its co-ordinates had been passed on to Turkey's ally, the US.
Russia has sent troops and aircraft to Syria to back up the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad in the civil war.
Turkey, which is a member of Nato and of a US-led coalition in the region, insisted Mr Assad must step down before any political solution to the Syrian conflict is found.
Both countries said they were trying to rid the region of Islamic State (IS) which claimed the recent attacks on Paris, Ankara and also on a Russian airliner.
On Saturday (local time), the Turkish president again defended the shooting down of the jet and criticised Russia's operations in Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad, whom Ankara opposes.
But he renewed his call for a meeting with Mr Putin on the sidelines of the Paris Climate talks next week, saying that both sides should approach the issue more positively.
Russia boosts defence amid row with Turkey
Russia has strengthened its anti-aircraft defences in Syria by moving a cruiser towards the coast and deploying new missiles at its main base.
Turkey 'had to know' fighter jet was Russian
Russia has rejected Turkey's claims it did not know the plane it shot down on the Syrian border was Russian.
Russian marine killed on jet rescue mission
A Russian marine has been killed on a helicopter mission to rescue the crew of a jet downed by Turkey near the Syrian border, the BBC reports.

Russia warns of 'serious consequences' after jet downed
Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the downing of a Russian fighter jet by Turkey as a stab in the back administered by "the accomplices of terrorists".

How did Roundup Ready & Roundup come to be?
First, what is Roundup Ready? Roundup Ready is the trademark name of a line of genetically modified plants that are resistant to Roundup. These crops are called Roundup Ready crops.
Who came up with Roundup?
ラウンドアップ 原理 John Franz (Monsanto Chemist) first discovered Glyphosate as an herbicide within Roundup. Pre-emergent herbicides were used in the ag sector at the time. https://www.yodobashi.com/product/100000001002109951/ They were sprayed before the weeds or crops appeared. The post-emergent activity of glyphosate to control many grass and broadleaf weeds was quite different. This, when combined with its remarkable environmental properties (soil inactivation and rapid degradation, with no carryover, etc) and toxicological characteristics (extremely low toxicity to mammals and beneficial organisms) was an outstanding product.
In what year was Roundup the first time it was created?
Roundup(r) The product, which was first introduced to the market as a broad spectrum herbicide in the year 1974, quickly became one the most popular agricultural chemicals worldwide. It was initially employed in ditches, on railroads and sprayed on fields between the growing seasons. This allowed farmers to control grass and broadleaf weeds that grew from the soil, decreasing the need for tillage, preserving soil structure and reducing soil erosion.
The Roundup Ready GMOs case was next.
ラウンドアップ マックスロード 希釈 Monsanto scientists who were inspired by the incredible advances in Recombinant technology in the 1970s recognized the many advantages to farmers if Roundup was directly applied to crops to manage the weeds. Ernie Jaworski, Rob Horsch, Steve Rogers, and I started working on this issue. In the early 1980s this group had developed the first methods that allowed the introduction of particular genes into plants. Our attention shifted to developing virus-resistant, insect resistant and Roundup-tolerant plants.
It was found that Roundup blocked the production of aromatic amino acids in plants. ラウンドアップ lv25 This is why Roundup has a extremely safe for mammals. In addition, glyphosate was quickly degraded in soils by microorganisms. In the mid-80s researchers discovered plant genes and microbial genes which conferred higher herbicide tolerance. In 1987, the USDA approved the first field trial of Roundup Ready crops. The Roundup-resistant plant included genetically altered tomatoes that proved resistant to Roundup. In the following decades it was discovered that the Roundup Ready gene which would be the most important characteristic of the Roundup Ready crop was discovered. It was later isolated and then introduced into the crops.
Let's begin with soybeans. Answering the questions "What are Roundup Ready soybeans?" and "How are Roundup-Ready soybeans produced?" will help us to understand the process of making soybeans. Roundup Ready Soybeans could be described as soybeans that have been genetically engineered whose DNA has been modified so that they can resist the active ingredient in Roundup which is glyphosate. The soybean is resistant to Roundup since every seed is equipped with the Roundup Ready gene infected before it's planted. This permits farmers to spray their fields with herbicides and not destroy their crops.
As you can see, the introduction of Roundup Ready crops in 1996 revolutionized agriculture and farming science! Roundup resistance was soon acknowledged by farmers and adoption was quick. Today, nearly 90 percent of U.S. soybeans are grown with a biotech gene for herbicide tolerance. Roundup Ready crops streamlined and improved the effectiveness of weed control methods. ラウンドアップ 20 l This resulted in increased yields on crops. It also decreased tillage, reduced equipment costs, and made harvesting easier due to less herbicides. The increased use of conservation-tillage has had a major environmental impact. Farmers can lower their carbon footprint and energy use by decreasing plowing. But this also preserves soil structure and decreases erosion. This was equivalent of taking away 28.4 Billion kg carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which is 12.4 M automobiles off the roads for one year (Source . PG Economics.


All Prints shall be mounted on a board not exceeding 3mm in total thickness. No mount shall exceed 500mm x 400mm (NB. 20"x 16" will be accepted, But authors must agree for the mount to be reduced to 500mm x 400mm to comply with PAGB rules if one of their prints is selected for the PAGB Interclub Print Competition).
A digital copy of your print is also required, see below for instructions on this.
Projected Digital Image files must be prepared in JPEG format and with maximum pixel dimensions of 1400px and 1050px in the horizontal and vertical planes respectively. Image Title and Club number to be on images.
These need to be given to Anne Phillipson by Friday 1st March 2019.
There are important changes re the arrangements for the delivery & collection of work for this years competition, and it is critical that the relevant club officers take note of the changes as outlined in the revised rules contained within the entry pack.
These changes have been made at short notice in response to unforeseen changes in circumstance concerning members of the competitions committee, and have been necessary to enable the competition to take place this year.
While the NCPF Championship is a club competition, the Annual Competitions are basically for individuals (although clubs do pick up awards too). The judging of the Annual Competitions is a closed event, and, unlike the Championship, is not open to general viewing.
There are sections for colour prints, monochrome prints and projected images; in addition, a photographer can enter as a beginner or in the open competition. There are individual awards for the best images in the categories of Portrait, Landscape, Nature and Creativity – although photographers don't have to enter pictures into those specific categories; they simply enter the colour, mono or PDI sections and the judges sort out which image is the best portrait, or landscape, etc.
This is one competition where there are no pictures 'rejected' by a team of selectors – all pictures brought in for this event are entered and each image will receive a mark. Once all the pictures have been collected at your club however club selectors will pick six images from each section to represent your club in the 'club competitions'.
A photographer may enter up to three images in each of the colour print, mono print and PDI sections (or up to two in each of the Beginners' competitions).
When the results of the Annual Competitions are posted, individual entries may have an "A" or a "P" printed next to them. These have been "chosen for the Alliance" or "chosen for the Portfolio". What this means is explained as follows.
The NCPF takes part in inter-federation competitions (organised each year by the PAGB) for both prints and PDI. Once the NCPF Annual Competition judges have made their assessments, the images are looked at again by a different set of NCPF selectors. These then choose the pictures for the "Alliance entry" – the two dozen or so images from each section that will represent the NCPF in the national inter-federation competitions. It goes without saying that it is quite an achievement to have a picture chosen for the Alliance. (It is also interesting to note that occasionally pictures which have done badly in the original competition have later been selected for the Alliance – which says a lot about the subjectivity of judging!).
The "P" is for "Portfolio". The entry is looked over by yet another set of selectors. Their task is to pick out pictures which, although they may not be competition winners, are interesting as images and which are representative of the kind of work being produced by the clubs of the Federation.
The Annual Competition winning images and the pictures chosen for the Alliance and the Portfolio are put onto DVD and are available to clubs and can provide an evening's entertainment .

ABOVE MOGGIO UDINESE IN FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA IS THE NATURAL RESERVE OF VAL ALBA, 3000 HECTARES OF WOOD, PATHS, RIVERS AND REMAINS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ALL TO VISIT.
Here you will find easy treks suitable for beginners or families and more difficult treks with spectacular views.
The other week I received an email from Promoturismo Friuli Venezia Giulia of which I am Ambassador. They asked me if I was available to take a free course with them from a professional film maker on how to "create emotional videos" with a mobile phone. I love to create videos (although with poor results) I could not believe it.
I took the ball and took advantage of this trekking in Val Alba (look the video above) also to do a trial and not get to the course empty-handed.
I tell you a day immersed in the woods full of snow. A day of snowshoes and laughter, sun and breathtaking views like this.
Sunday me, my boyfriend Simon and our adventure dog Giorgi (all the story of our rescue dog here ) , with some friends, decided to have a trek with snowshoes in a new place at one hour from where we live.
After a very big breakfast, we left the bar and start driving to Cleulins a very small village in the middle of the mountains full of snow everywhere and treks to do.


In the previous article, we considered that the Christian life is upheld and continued by tools, and these tools are helps, but at the same time, they teach us of our duties. The most prominent tool we must use is none other than God's Word, because (1) it has the final authority over us and (2) it is sufficient for all and everything. There is one more point we should consider: (3) it is clear and plain. The Word of God is not a secret, but open to everyone who desires to read and meditate upon it. Anyone can read it. It is not for particular people who can disclose hidden and secret knowledge of the eternal truth as Gnostics have claimed. Thus, it is the prominent tool that all of us can use in every place and at any time.
When we buy a product it comes with an instruction manual, without which we have to struggle to figure out how to use it, or to know how to assemble the parts and pieces. The Word of God as a tool came together with instructors. God has not left us in the dark. The first instructor is obviously the Spirit of God, who is the author of the Bible Himself. We need to depend on Him who illumines us to understand His holy Word. We also need to know that He is not the only helper God has provided for our benefits. There are human instructors who are also led by the Spirit of God and diligently search the Scriptures: not everyone, but certain people whom God has sent and appointed to be our instructors. The Bible speaks of them as God's gifts. Ephesians 4:11 says, "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers". The giver of these gifts is the Lord Himself. He has given them to learn and teach His whole counsel out of the Scriptures to His people, so that they might receive benefit by learning and applying the Scriptures to their day-to-day lives. We must know that it is not an artificial self-appointment of individuals to be pastors and teachers, but God's appointment. They are from the Lord. Thus, they must be cherished and cared for.
Thus, there are many provisions just for them, the instructors, who are pastors and teachers. For example, 1 Timothy 5:17-18, "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward." Both honor and material provisions are specified here as the learners' responsibilities. In particular, their physical needs are mentioned as their worthy reward. Galatians 6:6-9 says, "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." The point here is that pastors and teachers, gifts of God, must be cherished, respected, and taken care of.
Through the work and ministry of pastors and teachers, the preaching of His word enables the weak Christian to become strong and godly. The faith of God's elect becomes perfect (1 Thessalonians 3:10). The feeding ministry for the flock was charged to Peter, because the sheep are under the care of their shepherds (1 Peter 5:2), "Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind." The resurrected Lord committed the ministry of feeding His sheep to Peter (John 21:15).
Pastors and teachers should handle the Word of God with utmost care, because their messages are, after all, from the Scriptures, God's own Word. They should be able to preach with authority and power (1 Thessalonians 2:13). It is also because the Word of the living God is sharper than any two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).
The Word of God has power to convert the unregenerate. We are "born again not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever" (1 Peter 1:23). However, my primary concern in this article is not the benefits that the unconverted may find from the Word of God. My focus is on the benefits to the regenerate.
Knowledge is provided. The godly need to know what is right and wrong. They should understand the differences between truth and error. They should come out of their darkened and ignorant minds. Otherwise, how can they grow into godliness? It requires the knowledge of the truth, and God's Word is the truth. By knowing the Scriptures, the godly gain knowledge of the WAY that leads them to be conformed to the ways of biblical life. When they lack knowledge of the Scriptures, they are unsettled and ignorant and blind to the pathway of holiness. The word of God is the lamp and light to the godly (Psalm 119:105).
Renewal is possible. We cannot but consider Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." The first two attributes of God's Word are "quick" and "powerful." "Quick" means "living" or "alive." "Powerful" means "active" or "effective." By knowing these attributes, we cannot but experience inner and spiritual renewals through the ministry of the Word. It changes our hearts and minds.
Sanctification is expected. Since the time of our conversion, we begin to grow into maturity. As we find the will of God toward us in the Scriptures, so our minds are girded up. We lay aside and cast off wrongs and sinful things, and obey and follow the commandments and instructions of God, by which we learn the right way to move upward and forward.
Private reading is encouraged. One mark of true regeneration is the hunger for the truths of God. We desire to hear God's Word, and thus, we are eager to come to church to hear the public preaching of the Word of God. As we continue to grow, we begin to feel that the once or twice a week public preaching cannot quench our spiritual thirst but encourages us to read and study the Word of God even more in private. If public preaching is like a starter, private reading is the main dish. Or, if public preaching is like a main dish, private reading is the proper seasoning that gives us abilities to appreciate it even more and better. Or, public preaching is like the key to open the closed door, and private reading is the act of entering into the room. It shows us the necessity and significance of public preaching. It also tells us that private reading is the fruit of public preaching.
Examples are set. When the Word of God forms and molds our Christian character and life, we become good examples to others. We are established and confirmed in the knowledge of the will of God, by which we grow into a godly life. We are enabled to counsel others with the wisdom of God. We spend our time in reading the Scriptures and meditating upon them, which reduces our worldliness and increases our affections to Him.
So far, we have seen the importance of the ministry of the Word and benefits of it. We are very sure that it is good to depend on the Word of God and to profit from it. If so, then why don't we gain the advantages of the ministry of the Word? Why don't we get excited about the teaching and learning of the Word of God? What stops us, and what keeps us from desiring and spending more time to study the Word of God? Why are there only a few people who are godly after God's truths?
Faults could be found on two sides: preachers and hearers. Preachers are exhorted to diligently study and search the Scriptures. They are expected to be faithful in preaching and teaching God's Word to their flock. However, my concern is not of the preachers, but hearers. Ideally and theoretically, when Christians honor God and hear the Word, they are led and helped to live a godly life. But, we know that we seldom find such individuals who keep and live a godly life. If the minsters of the Word are not at fault in their diligence, skill, love, and sound doctrines, it is certain that the fault lies in the hearers. They do not have ears to hear, and they are neither reverent nor attentive in hearing. Therefore, we ought to carefully observe what hinders us from hearing the Word.

Reserve a few blueberries for decoration and place the remainder in a small pan with the caster sugar and 1 tablespoon of cold water.
Heat gently for 4-5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the juice begins to run from the blueberries. Cook for a further 4-5 minutes, or until the blueberries are soft. Crush with a fork to make a compote and set aside to cool.
Whip the crème fraîche and double cream together with an electric or balloon whisk for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks have formed.
Stir in the icing sugar and three quarters of the blueberry purée. Lightly fold in the remaining compote to give a rippled effect. Divide between 4 individual glasses, top with the remaining blueberries and chill until ready to serve. Team with Jules Destrooper Almond Thins.

Q: Setup multiple .env configurations (React/Next/Node) How to use multiple .env config files correctly for development / stage / production. I realize I need a .env file, use dotenv (at least), but when I start hosting my app (React), I use localhost: 5000 urls, but I have to use some service-host urls which I use.

A: Your .env file is not commited.
So on you production build, you will configure your .env file to contain your production details. Again, .env files are private.
Your development .env file will contain details that you use for your localhost.
You can also, set a variable called to say PROD_BASEURL and then utilize an IF statement in your code.
if(PROD_BASEURL) {
  do stuff
}

To answer your question. No, you won't use multiple .env files to separate PROD/UAT/DEV

A: Why do you want to use multiple .env files ?
The general recommendation is to have one unique .env file.

Should I have multiple .env files?
No. We strongly recommend against having a "main" .env file and an
"environment" .env file like .env.test

link : https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv#should-i-commit-my-env-file
Use a package like dotenv to manage your env variables. There are other package that do the same thing.
And you define your production env variables on your other, production server. The general recommendation is to have one .env file per host.
If you still need to however, you can use the following dotenv configuration :

require('dotenv').config({ path: '/custom/path/to/.env' })

Remember to not store any secret in your .env file in your react app.

SUMMIT residents watched in amazement as hot air balloons almost skimmed their roofs on Sunday.
GOING down: The Cash Generator balloon drops below the level of the houses on Severn Road.
The balloons were taking part in a festival at Heaton Park when it is believed they went off course and ended up in the Roch Valley.
Ian Officer, who lives on Tamar Way with wife Irene, said one was just a few feet from touching his roof.
He said: "The balloon came over about eight in the morning and woke us up with the noise. It must have been just feet from the chimney stack."
Former Advertiser receptionist, Christine Watson, who took the picture of the balloon, said the pilot of the first balloon, which was covered in blue and yellow Cash Generator advertising, managed to get back in the air, but another wasn't as lucky.
She said: "I heard this loud noise and rushed outside to see the balloon coming down behind Tamar Way. He managed eventually to get back up in the air, but another multi-coloured balloon came down in a field behind Welland Avenue.
"It was very dramatic as it looked like they were going to hit the roofs of the homes."
The Manchester Hot Air Balloon Festival featured balloons from all over Britain and Europe. Many balloonists used the weekend as preparation for the World Hot Air Ballooning Championships being held in Australia at the end of this month.
