Burning Bridges is the thirteenth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi consisting of new songs, as well as formerly unreleased and unfinished songs. Released on August 21, 2015 by Mercury Records. Produced by John Shanks, it was the first release since the departure of former guitarist Richie Sambora in 2013 (although he receives a co-writing credit on the single "Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning"), with Shanks handling the lead guitar parts. Burning Bridges is their last album to be released through Mercury, marking the end of their 32-year relationship with the label. According to Jon Bon Jovi, the album serves as a "fan record" to tie in with an accompanying international tour: "It's songs that weren't finished, that were finished, a couple of new ones like the one we released as a single 'We Don't Run." Burning Bridges was followed by This House Is Not for Sale, the band's fourteenth studio album released in 2016 which featured all new songs.

Background
On November 18, 2014, in an interview with Pierre Robert from WMMR-FM Radio, lead singer Jon Bon Jovi confirmed that he started writing songs for the upcoming Bon Jovi album and that album is going to be recorded in 2015 and released in 2016. He also confirmed that lead guitarist Richie Sambora left the band and said that the doors are wide open for him if he wants to return to the band, even though it is highly unlikely. Jon said: "I'd be hard-pressed to [allow him to return], so would David, so would Tico. It'd be a lot for us [to allow him back]. After a year and a half and you miss 80 shows … I don't think that's possible." By February 2015, Jon confirmed that he was still in an early stage of songwriting process with around 12 songs written and that inspiration for writing those songs came out of reading newspapers.

Burning Bridges was conceived to fulfill Bon Jovi's commitment to Mercury Records, as the band and label could not agree on adjusted terms for the band's recording contract. "I've stayed at that label my entire life32 years. I am the longest tenured artist on Mercury, or whatever they are called this week. But my deal was up, and that's that," said Jon Bon Jovi in an interview with Billboard. The album's title track makes explicit reference to Bon Jovi's dissatisfaction with the label. According to Bon Jovi, "This hits it right in the head and tells you what happened. Listen to the lyrics because it explains exactly what happened. And that's that." Regarding the split, a representative for Mercury Records stated, "Jon is a rock 'n' roll icon, and we are so proud of his 30-year collaboration with Mercury, which brought extraordinary commercial and creative success. We wish Jon only the best."

Additional information
Burning Bridges is the first album without guitarist Richie Sambora who left the band in 2013.
It is also the first album in 29 years to not feature a credit by Desmond Child, who has co-written or produced at least one song on every Bon Jovi album since 1986's Slippery When Wet.

Reception

Steven Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic gave the album 1.5 stars out of 5 by saying that "'fan album' not only sounds kinder, it also identifies precisely the audience that would be interested in this brief, power ballad-heavy collection". Chris Jordan from Asbury Park Press gave a positive review stating that "the new album from Bon Jovi, features a spark of anger from frontman Jon Bon Jovi". Jon M. Gilbertson from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel gave mixed review stating that "Artistically, it represents Bon Jovi's transformation from 1980s hair-metal act to 2015 adult-contemporary act. Sub-Springsteen working-class references, spiritually patriotic clichés and foursquare, bombastic riffs abound". Glenn Gamboa from Newsday rated the album with B− stating that "'Burning Bridges' does sound a bit, well, burned-out". Rob Garratt from The National gave the album 2 stars out of 5 by saying "new album offers little more than a fresh excuse to refill the coffers and add a few more set fillers to a multimillion-dollar touring juggernaut that is still dining out on 1980s anthems".

The album debuted at No. 13 on Billboard, and No. 3 on Rock Albums on its release, selling 19,000 copies in the first week.   The album has sold 67,000 copies in the United States as of August 2016.

Promotion
The album features twin lead singles, "We Don't Run" and "Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning", both released on July 31, 2015. Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning premiered on Hitradio Ö3 on July 17, 2015. at 9:45 a.m. Originally written in The Circle sessions, it was finished for this album. Three days later, on July 20, 2015, Brazilian radio station "Radio Rock" premiered "We Don't Run". Though not released as singles, the songs "Blind Love" and "A Teardrop to the Sea" were digitally released on August 7, 2015, followed by "I'm Your Man" on August 13, 2015. Lyrics videos for all the songs have been released on Bon Jovi's YouTube account.

Kirpalani IAMGOLD Eye Hospital.The donors of this project are the Kirpalani Foundation and IamGold Rosebel Goldmines N.V., while the N.O.B. acts as a financing bank.
In his introduction, Dr. Jerrel Pawiroredjo presented historical and statistical information to show the great importance of this expansion for ophthalmic care in Suriname. On an annual basis, an average of 75,000 people are consulted, while more than 5,200 operations are performed. The current eye centre is suitable for use by five ophthalmologists, but that number has now grown to twelve. Over the next years, the number of people who need ophthalmic care will further increase. Mr. Mark Rommy then gave a technical explanation of the construction to be performed. Hereafter, speeches were given by representatives of the various parties involved, namely: Mrs. Wonny Boedhoe from N.O.B.; Mr. Vijay Kirpalani, director of Kirpalani's N.V. and also representative of the Kirpalani Foundation; Mr. Steve Letwin CEO of IamGold; Mrs. Lindy Liauw Kie Fa Medical Director of the AZP; and finally, the Minister of Public Health ad interim, Mr. Mike Noersaliem. All speakers emphasized the importance of the Kirpalani IAMGOLD Eye Hospital for the entire Surinamese society. The speakers also expressed appreciation for the input of various people who have made an enormous effort to realize this project. The cost of the project amounts to USD 2,500,000. It is expected that the execution of this project will take 15 months. After completion, the hospital will meet the ever-increasing need for ophthalmic care in our country for at least the next 25 years. As a founding member of this project, the Kirpalani Foundation wants to congratulate the entire Surinamese society with this extraordinary milestone.

Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written." -- Amazon.com.

The first ride in the Sport 2 was a sledder…10 minutes tho. The second trip, I had no water left, it was FRICKIN hot and I launched parched. After scratching for a while in the heat, 1k over the LZ, I finally hooked a slow climb to a cool and comfy 12k. At last, a time to play with the new glider and try some XC. I headed South to try to cover the 10 miles back to land at my house and it wasn't bad. Started with a tailwind, but it was 90degree cross after the first couple miles. I'm used to scratching this route home at 9-10k, but today I was milkin stuff and it was good to my highest alt from this site yet of 14.5k. It got scary over my place b/c I guess DIA was routing the incoming and outgoing at that altitude right there so I could tell which airlines were going by. Almost could count the windows. A leer jet went under my 1k when I was there. And a couple big boys were exactly at my alt, just a couple mile or 2 east of me. FREAKY. I putzed around and tried into the wind glides and some stalls, watching the yarn on the wing change directions. That Sport2 flys when the middle cord is super stalled. It's crazy.
Anyway, was getting lower and my hands started to feel better, but for some reason thought I'd head back N some and just followed my nose doing a low scratching flight back to Lookout. Thinking I could get back to my truck and zoom home before dinner, instead of land at home and make the wife drive me around. Low an behold, I got back to Lookout and noone was around. I think I was a bit hypoxic earlier, but at least I'm warm now. Went past launch and explored to burn off altitude to land and drive home. Figured I'd explore under this nice cloud street that was connecting the clouds and showing the beginning signs of Ba-Boom stuff. The coolest thing about this flight was the thermal I found here. This thing made my vario sing like it could break glass. And it was smooth and big. The peak was 2520ftm, but the average (20 sec maybe) was 1520fpm. Just for fun, I checked and had climbed a mile (5266ft) in 4 min 45 seconds. It was a riot.
So then I had to think, way below base(which hadn't really formed over me yet, and I started heading towards the edge and perfectly came to the edge and a little up in a clear dome of cloud. Between you and me, I poked the wing tip into the side of it as I left at 15,150ft. My super highest for Lookout! I decided the cloud, which was like a wall behind me was done with me and would soon be letting the door hit me where the good lord split me. So I got another chance to check the glide on this baby, and flew BACK 10 miles to my house again. But this time, never slowing to thermal. Made it 10 miles in 13 minutes and then had to burn 5k to land. That cloud later visited my unbroken down glider and rained like nobodies business. I don't know if the headache was from altitude or lack of water, but I drank like a fish at home.
It'd give my left nut to have video of that ripper and the cloudbase experience.
Forgot to mention. I was on final coming down fairway 13 and the golf cart that had just left my spot turned around and headed back at me. It was like we were playing chicken. Then I guess he just froze and turned around by their other ball or something RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY. The nerve. Anyway… I adjusted and landed right next to him in a perfect position to start a drag race. I apologized and walked in front of them to get out of the way. I sure hope they don't start getting ticked at me!

Visiting a new country can be truly exciting. This is especially true if you are visiting for the first time. With amazing cultures, bustling cities, scenic national parks, and tasty cuisine, it really is no surprise that more and more travelers are opting to fly into Canada. That being said, if this is your first time flying into Canada, you need to prepare. You don't want to find yourself in unfamiliar territory without knowing what to expect. Knowledge is power.
Sure, it is pretty easy and quick to make all your flight preparations online. You can shop between different airliners, compare prices, book your tickets, and set your schedule. However, if you really want the flight to go without a hitch, you need to confirm all the transportation details in advance. Remember, you are flying into a different country, so it is possible that the baggage claims and regulations might be somewhat different than what you are used to.
Find out which zone of the airport you are going to be arriving in, how close you are to the checkout gate, and check the polices for shuttles or cabs. Just learning and confirming all this information ahead of time will make your flight into this new and exciting country so much easier and worry free.
Whether this is your first flight into Canada or you are a seasoned pro, you probably already know that you are going to need to apply for an ETA or visa. And ETA is an electronic travel authorization that basically grants you admittance into the country. You can acquire this document by filling out a Canada ETA application. In fact, this might be something that you want to do before you even book your flights (or you can do it as soon as you book your flight). Electronic visas are usually authorized quickly and they allow visitors' access to Canada for as long as six months. As well, the document usually stays active for a period of five years.
Depending on where you are flying from, you could be in for a fairly long flight. When it comes to long flights, there is nothing that makes the process smoother and more relaxing than getting a good, comfortable seat. Always book in advance, so that you can have your pick. If you wait until the last minute and book, there is always a good chance that you are going to be stuck with the worst seats on the plane - and that will be why these are the only ones left. Sure, a bad seat won't make that much of a difference on a short flight, but when it comes to a long flight, a bad seat could greatly impact your flight experience.
Consider what is important to you. Do you want to see the sights out the window, or do you want easy access to the aisles and toilets? Pick your seat beforehand to be sure you can choose.

Another one... Grant Holt's becoming a wrestler.
What do you mean, "becoming"?
...should be joining up with Tom Daley for synchronised doubles....in the diving pool of course, nothing else!


The First congressional will have an election at the end of this year and it will be in the old boundaries. That means residents who live in the current first district (me and about half the county) will vote for a member of congress in two different districts.
The first will be the one to temporarily replace Jay Inslee, who resigned as congressman to run full time for governor. The other will be to vote for the replacement for Norm Dicks, who retires at the end of this term.
So if you've ever wanted to be a member of Congress, but two years is just too dang long, this could be your chance to fill in temporarily, get a decent little salary, free mail and a travel allowance.
The governor's press release follows.
OLYMPIA – Gov. Chris Gregoire today announced she has called for an election to fill the vacancy in the 1st Congressional District. The U.S. Constitution requires the governor to order an election to fill a vacancy during a congressional term.
The special vacancy election for the current 1st Congressional District will be on the same schedule and the same ballot as the regular primary and general elections, as required by state law. The primary election will be held Aug. 7 and the general election will be held Nov. 6.
The special election to fill a vacancy in the current Congress falls in a year when new districts have been drawn for the next Congress. This means that candidates to fill the vacancy will be on some of the same ballots as candidates for newly drawn district seats. New congressional boundaries are drawn every 10 years, and the boundaries proposed by the citizen redistricting commission were accepted by the Legislature and become effective for elections for the new congressional terms that begin on January 2013.
If Washington conducted a special election using the new 1st District boundaries, the House of Representatives could decide not to seat the person elected, according to a memorandum by the General Counsel to the House of Representatives Committee on House Administration. The memorandum notes that if new district boundaries were used to elect a representative for the remainder of the current Congress, it would mean some voters in the old district would have no representative for the remainder of the term while other voters who were previously part of another congressional district would be represented by two members of Congress, possibly violating "one-person, one-vote" constitutional principles.
I feel like Lou Costello—whose on first?
Oooops.. I meant Who's on first.
Disclaimer, this endorsement and any and all support for the above candidate will expire permanently after 30 days from the swearing in.
So Steve is on first ? What ?
ha Colleen , missed my humor .
So Steve is on First was reference to Lou Costello comment about about WHO on first above . Then Lou would say in the routine "what" and Lou would say "who" , and Bud would say First Base . It goes on for about 10 minutes of total confusion spaking aboutthe whole team and positions . . Actually quite funny the first 10 times you listen to it .
Kind of a American treasure . especially for us guys .
Don't beat yourself up too much, Mick. That joke a few months ago about signs I may or may not have was pretty funny.
Easter Sunday front-page Gardner article on Inslee says in the opening sentence " . . . 1 million dollars seems like a lot of money." Steve: $1M is a lot of money, what's with the qualifier of "seems." Who you, Mitt Romney?
In this field we mostly refrain from absolutes. I'm allowing that there may be someone out there who doesn't think $1 million to stage an election in one-ninth of the state is a lot of money. I might think it is or isn't, but what I think doesn't matter. You might think it is or isn't and you're free to say so.
I must say that free speech is a wonderful thing and I am always glad to see Mr. Olsen express his version.

Posted by Val Burgess on Aug 1, 2014 in Locations, Prison Camps | Comments Off on Karenko-Taiwan
Camp Opened: 08/17/42 – Camp Closed: 06/6/43 – There is some discrepancy on the close date. 23° 58.9083′ N 121° 36.7083′ E After the Japanese conquered all of the Asian colonies in late 1941 and the spring of 1942, they got the idea that they should separate the senior officers and chain of command from the regular enlisted men, so that the latter would not be able to function and would be easier for the Japanese to control. So in August and early September 1942 they began to move these highest-ranking officers to their island fortress of Taiwan which had been a Japanese possession since the end of the Sino – Japanese War in 1895.
The first group of highest-ranking officers to arrive in Taiwan were the Americans under Lieut. General Jonathan Wainwright and Major Generals King and Moore from the Philippines. 179 officers and men arrived at Takao (Kaohsiung) Harbour in mid-August 1942 on the Nagara Maru and were transferred to a local coastal steamer which the POWs called the Otaru Maru, but which was later correctly identified as the Suzuya Maru, for the remainder of the journey which took them to Karenko Camp mid-way up the east coast of the island and today is known as Hualien.
Next, the top-ranking officers from Singapore and the Dutch East Indies – Lieut. Generals Percival and Heath and Major General Callaghan of the Australian Forces from Singapore, and Lieut. General H. ter Poorton from the Dutch East Indies, were transported to Taiwan on the England Maru along with many brigadiers and colonels and their batmen. This group also included the governors and civil officials from Singapore, the Federated Malay States, Straits Settlements and Sumatra. After spending about a week at Heito Camp, they were moved out to join their American counterparts at Karenko Camp.
From the outset of their stay at Karenko the Japanese tried to humiliate the senior officers and treated them very badly. Many were beaten and forced to do work which was beyond their ability as older men. The Japanese made the POWs work a local farm project to supposedly grow food to supplement their diet and then it was taken by the Japanese guards for their own use. The senior officers and the governors were also made to herd goats which was a difficult task for them.
Food was always a problem and the Japs enjoyed playing games with the POWs when it came to withholding food and supplies from them. As a result of the poor diet and withheld medical supplies, three of the POWs died in this camp. British Maj/Gen. Merton Beckwith-Smith was the first to die on November 11, 1942, followed on February 11, 1943 by M/Sgt. James Cavanagh and later by Col.Paul Bunker on March 16, both of the US Army.
In April 1943 it was decided to send 117 of the higher-ranking POWs and governors to another camp inland south of Karenko called Tamazato as the Red Cross wished to pay a visit, and because conditions were so deplorable at Karenko this new camp provided a better opportunity to show how well the prisoners were supposedly being treated. At Tamazato the men had better food and did not have to do any work. They were allowed to rest and relax and consequently were in better health and more fit by the time the Red Cross visited in June.
Following the Red Cross visit, all but 28 of the highest ranking officers and governors were transferred back to Karenko once again and a couple of days later were moved to Shirakawa Camp in south-central Taiwan along with the remainder of the men who had been at Karenko. The 28 senior officers and governors were then sent to Taihoku Camp 5 and Karenko Camp was closed.

Okay, so clearly I have a problem with consistency. I feel like I'm running in circles with my fists tightly gripping the bars of a merry-go-round that I can't quite get the hang of riding. I know that the goal is not only to be able to ride the merry-go-round without falling off, it's to be able to enjoy the ride, too. Attaining that goal is not as easy as it sounds. There are more factors at play than meet the eye. First, in order to get the ride moving, you have to put in the effort of getting it started. This requires holding onto the bars, taking a running start and then hopping onto the platform. Then, you get to spin around and around as the circulated wind rushes over your face. Eventually, the ride will stop unless the passenger hops off, runs with the merry-go-round and hops on again. That is, unless a fellow adventure-seeker comes along and then you can either work as a team to gain some serious speed, or take turns enjoying the ride while the other maintains its momentum.
The merry-go-round in my life is a metaphor for living a balanced, happy and healthy life. In order to take the ride (or maintain balance in my life) I have to put in the work. For me specifically, this means following the routines it takes to keep up a healthy and happy life. This is what creates a stable and consistent home. My problem is that I did not grow up in the kind of home that want to create for my own family. This raises two issues. First, I never saw a positive example of what I am trying to achieve. It is hard to attain something when you aren't exactly sure how to get there. Second, since I did see negative examples, I picked up on negative traits that are now deep rooted habits that prevent me from achieving the harmony I seek. Getting back to my metaphor, it's like trying to learn how to ride the merry-go-round the right way when you've only witnessed it being ridden wrong or in ways that resulted in injury to the riders.
If I can create a rhythm of hopping off, running, and hopping on and practice until it becomes natural for me, then perhaps I will be able to maintain the consistency I've been attempting to reach. I am learning that I don't always have to burn myself out trying to keep the merry-go-round moving. Sometimes, I run too fast and become short of breath, quickly wearing myself down. Other times, I am exhausted and barely move for too long , resulting in me growing lazy. Sometimes, I let everyone else crowd the ride and I try to do all the running myself. Even though the load is too large, I often refuse to ask for and/or accept help. Still other times, I stop doing the work and the merry-go-round slows to a complete stop. This is when I feel my life has become dull, lonely, and purposeless.
I am learning the tricks to maximizing my merry-go-round experience.
I've learned that "slow is steady and steady is fast" – there is no need to sprint; I need only keep moving. Like the Energizer Bunny I must keep going and going and going and going……. regardless of what life throws my way… rain, shine, snow or hail… just keep moving.
I've learned that I am going to have days where I fall off, grow tired, or make mistakes. There are also going to be days when I can run a little longer in place of someone else who needs it, enjoy the serenity of a solo ride on a warm, sunny day or help someone else figure out how to ride their own merry-go-round.
I've learned that it is okay to ask for help if it gets too hard to handle alone and to take my own turn at enjoying the ride while others do the running.
I'm learning it's more fun to ride with others, and family and friends are your best co-riders.
I'm learning that through it all, God has got my back.
Personally, I've never been a fan of merry-go-rounds. I have never liked spinning in circles. Maybe it's vertigo; spinning makes me dizzy and nauseous and faint. I could never figure out what it was about merry-go-rounds that people loved so much. I could not see how people get a rush from the feeling of freedom as they spin around and around. I couldn't find fun in the hopping and running and hopping, then spinning and spinning and spinning. I couldn't see past the "work" of it long enough to just enjoy the fun of it.
Lucky for me, I am learning to love the ride.

Sonic and Tails are enjoying a little time off from their adventure. The trip they have planned will be a nice, relaxing vacation. Or so they think...
Tails spots a huge sign alongside the road they are currently traveling on. It is a recruiting advertisement for the World Grand Prix. "Sonic! Sonic! Look, there's going to be a huge race with all the best racers in the world. What a great opportunity for you to show your speed and compete with the other great runners!"
Sonic thinks for a moment. He's the world's fastest runner, but participating in races is not really his interest. Something on the sign, however, catches Sonic's eye. Dr. Robotnik, Sonic's archenemy, is participating in the race. Sonic races off into the distance. "Wait Sonic! Wait for me!" Tails shouts to his friends.
Miles above the sign, a spy satellite focuses on Sonic and Tails. Dr. Robotnik snickers in delight. "Now that you have fallen into my trap Sonic, I will finally have the Chaos Emeralds, and beat you at the same time. With my new hover machine, and these...". Dr. Robotnik looks to his left, and a row of gleaming eyes gaze back at him. "Nothing can go wrong! Hahahahahahaha....." Little does Sonic know that Dr. Robotnik has learned of the location of the Chaos Emeralds.
But Sonic is not the only one who will be racing with Dr. Robotnik. Sonic's rival, Knuckles, has learned that Sonic will be participating in a very important race. Knuckles never turns down a chance to be around Sonic when the action starts.
And Amy will be there too. After secretly overhearing Dr. Robotnik's plans, she also will be racing to find the Chaos Emeralds.
In Sonic R, you get the chance to be one of the four Sonic characters in a four-course 3D race. Race quickly, but remember to look out for items which will help you along your way. And don't forget to find those Chaos Emeralds!
Japanese story translated into English
Translated by Windii
After many struggles with Dr. Eggman...
Sonic and Tails, who adores him, were on a leisurely adventure together.
On their journey, they stopped in a town.
They saw a commercial on the giant screen of a building that said "Recruiting World Grand Prix Contestants!"
"Sonic, Sonic! It's a race to see who's the fastest in the world!" Tails is very interested.
"Come on, Sonic, let's enter the competition. I'm sure you'll win! I want to try my hand at it too!"
"Racing, huh... I'm not really interested in that."
Sonic didn't seem too keen on the idea.
But just as he was about to leave, Sonic's eyes were glued to the switched screen. And then...
"Let's participate, Tails!"
As soon as he told him that, Sonic was already running.
"Wait for me, Sonic!"
Tails rushes after Sonic.
The screen that made Sonic change his mind... it showed the words "Contestant: Dr. Eggman."
At that time... there was a spy satellite floating in the sky, far above the ground.
There was a man who was using that satellite to scout out Sonic and Tails.
His name is Dr. Eggman.
He is an evil genius scientist who has challenged Sonic to battle many times before.
Well, not that he's ever been able to beat him...
"Daahahahaha... Sonic, you've fallen right into my trap. I've already found out that the Chaos Emeralds are lying somewhere in the area where this race is being held! If they happen to find the Chaos Emeralds during the race, it'll save me the trouble of searching for them."
Dr. Eggman is acting cocky as usual.
"When they've collected the Chaos Emeralds, I'll take them all away! No matter how good Sonic is, if I attack when he shows an opening during the race, he won't stand a chance. And this time, I'll be sure to prepare a secret weapon..."
Dr. Eggman turns around, muttering.
From the corner of his eye, he saw several cold silhouettes, their eyes glowing eerily in the dim darkness...
"Heheheh... It was a perfect plan, even for me. Finally, at long last, my long-held dream of world domination shall become a reality! Dahahahaha..."
The World Grand Prix competitor recruitment commercial aired worldwide. Sonic and Tails weren't the only ones who saw the news of this race.
There was Knuckles, Sonic's good rival.
"Sonic! In this World Grand Prix, you and I are going to have a real showdown!"
And then there is Amy, the girl who is in love with Sonic.
"I'm sure that person will be participating in this race... Please wait for me, Mr. Sonic!"
Will Sonic be able to stop Dr. Eggman's ambitions?
And where will the World Grand Prix lead to?
Now it's time for the World Grand Prix!
Who will be crowned the fastest one in the world?!

Celebrate beautifully with a special occasion arrangement from FLOWERS ON VINE. With accents of silver foliage, this bouquet features the purity of white lilies and star of Bethlehem, and tall, graceful stems of brilliant blue delphinium. Call us or order New Wilmington, PA flowers online now for your special occasion or holiday.


Gokarna beach is an ideal destination for those who wish to celebrate in a subdued manner. The natural beauty of Gokarna beach is the main factor attracting visitors and in that it could be called mini-Goa. It has serene beaches with much lesser crowds. Though not as colourful as its Goan cousins, Gokarna beaches with their charming scenery and captivating natural beauty give it a comparable ambience. Those travelling to south India should not miss a visit to Gokarna beach.
Roads to Gokarna will definitely delight bikers. If the starting point is Mangalore, Gokarna can be reached by noon provided the journey begins early in the morning. Gokarna is a quiet village and the people here speak only Kannada.
The views along the road are also enchanting. They can doubtlessly rejuvenate the travel-fatigued visitors.
The literal meaning of Gokarna is 'cow's ear.' It is said that the geographical feature of the place resembling a cow's ear gave it this name.
One of the main features of the beaches here is that they are all interconnected by small roads. The trekkers find this an added attraction since they can climb over the hills from one beach to the next.
The small shops near the Mahabaleshwar temple attract many who visit Gokarna. These shops sell clothes, jewellery, and household implements. One can see the confluence of articles from different regions in each shop. These shops don't charge exorbitant prices.
The Kudle Beach is not far from the main road. The beach is not frequented by many visitors and hence it mostly wears a deserted look. One can interact with the waves peacefully for long hours without feeling bored. However, one has to be careful since the behaviour of the waves here change unpredictably.
A couple of shacks, a temple dedicated to Hanuman, and the small houses of the natives complete the neighbourhood.
From Kudle beach, Om beach can be reached either by road or by walking over the rocks. If time is a constraint, it would be better to travel by road. People trekking from beach to beach is a regular sight here. Like the name suggests, the beach got this name from its shape. The rocks by the beach facilitate fantastic views of the sunrise and sunset.
Only the Gokarna Beach has some action after nightfall. There are many shacks here and the nights here are accordingly shorter.
The Paradise Beach is mostly skipped by majority of tourists. Usually, the visitors give the Paradise Beach a miss since the view here is not much different from that of other beaches and it the trek is also harder than others. Nevertheless, the sights along the way to this beach are even more attractive. A visit to this beach will surely be a value-addition to your Gokarna tour.


To-do: Use solid works to solve various engineering application problems.
Decisions: The only decision the team made was to talk more on Friday.
Reflections: All members of the team feel okay coming out of the second midterm.

Q: Table = Table vs Table.Data(Table) What is the difference between the two statements below?
newTable = orginalTable

or
newTable.data(originalTable)

I suspect there is a performance benefit to the .data() method as it is more commonly used in standard AX.

A: Try this:
newTable = originalTable;
info(strfmt('%1 %2', newTable.recId, originalTable.recId);

newTable.data(originalTable);
newTable.insert();
info(strfmt('%1 %2', newTable.recId, originalTable.recId);

You'll see that the first statement just creates another one pointer to existing record.  The second one creates new copy of existing record.

Inside story: Stewart's Grove
Dominic Elwes was a misfit in Lord Lucan's set. Roger Wilkes visits the scene of his suicide
By Roger Wilkes
12:00AM BST 09 Sep 2000
TWENTY-FIVE years ago, the suicide of artist Dominic Elwes ended a dark, unsettling episode in the intractable mystery of Lord Lucan. It happened in this narrow Chelsea street of mid-Victorian mews cottages, a few yards from the busy Fulham Road.
Lucan's legacy: Alison and Nicholas Taggart who bought the cottage, the scene of Dominic Elwes' suicide 25 years ago
Elwes was one of Lucan's closest friends from his Eton schooldays. In September 1975, less than a year after the murder of Lucan's children's nanny, Sandra Rivett, and his infamous disappearance, Elwes was found dead at 1 Stewart's Grove. At 44, he had been hounded to death - critics said - by some of Lucan's vicious circle of gambling cronies. Fame is fleeting, even in death. "We never knew he'd ended it all here," confesses barrister Nicholas Taggart, 35, the current owner. "To be honest, we'd never even heard of him." Mr Taggart and his solicitor wife Alison, 34, bought the cottage six years ago for £215,000.
The terrace of 10 two-up, two-down houses first accommodated workers building the Great Exhibition site in 1851. Original ceiling roses and corbels survived a £150 knock-through in 1964, but the house faces east, catching only the morning sun. As Mr Taggart points out: "An artist like poor Mr Elwes would have been pushed for natural light."
When the Taggarts moved in, the cottage had stood empty for 18 months. It was cold and damp, but they detected no vestige of the tormented soul that was Dominic Elwes in the weeks before his death. After Lucan's disappearance in November 1974, police quickly encountered what one commentator typified as the "condescending, almost patronising attitude" of some of Lucan's friends, the "nob squad". At least one witness was allegedly ordered to keep quiet and to seek a briefing before talking to detectives.

Elwes was something of a misfit in the glamorous Lucan set. He was a social gadfly, a talented mimic and entertainer. In the 1950s, gossip columns had reported his elopement to Havana with 18-year-old heiress Tessa Kennedy, "wealthy god-daughter of Princess Marina", in defiance of a High Court order. The escapade cost him two weeks in Brixton Prison. The couple parted after eight years. While his father Simon had been a successful portrait painter, Elwes was heavily in debt.
His role in the aftermath of Lucan's disappearance was revealed by the journalist James Fox in the Sunday Times Magazine. On the day after the murder, Elwes had attended a gathering of Lucan's inner circle, a lunch hastily arranged by John Aspinall, founder of the Clermont Club, to discuss what might have happened to him. Elwes was uneasy with the black propaganda being leaked about Lucan's estranged wife, Veronica, who had only narrowly survived a terrifying, murderous attack. Lady Lucan was hospitalised, wounded and shocked. Of her husband's cronies, only Elwes bothered to visit her. Lucan, on the other hand, was portrayed as the perfect gentleman and model husband.
But Elwes knew that Lucan's fortunes had been crumbling as fast as his marriage. Despite this, the missing earl had led what Elwes called "a hypercivilised patrician kind of life". Although Lucan turned a hard, unsmiling face to the world, Elwes told Fox, he had taught himself the piano, disguising this side of his character "because people would have thought it soppy".
Fox's article cast Lucan in an unfavourable light. When it appeared in June 1975, Lucan's friends exacted cruel retribution from Elwes. They learnt that he had been paid £200 to paint a portrait, verging on caricature, of the Clermont set. This had been used to illustrate the article, together with several private photographs that they accused him of selling. The artist-clown had, as author Patrick Marnham put it, placed himself "on the other side of the green-baize door, the jester as social critic". His portrait was regarded as the ultimate betrayal. He was barred from Annabel's, the fashionable nightclub.
Ostracised, Elwes was reduced to tears. A friend who considered him to be close to a nervous breakdown sent him abroad to recuperate. When he returned in August, he found the Lucan set implacably turned against him. A chronic victim of manic depression, Elwes had tried to kill himself before. On Friday September 5, he climbed the spiral staircase at 1 Stewart's Grove for the last time.
A friend who failed to raise him on the phone drove over and let herself in. In his bedroom the light was on and the curtains were drawn. "Dominic was lying across the bed wearing only his pants," she told the coroner. There was a note, a will and a bottle of barbiturates. Verdict: suicide.
At Elwes's memorial service, the critic Kenneth Tynan declared that while "certain people" had elected him their court jester, they had never really accepted him. One of those people, John Aspinall, then addressed the congregation, reminding them of Elwes's failure to find the fame he had sought. To Elwes's friends and family, all this smacked of heartless humbug. Afterwards, on the steps outside, a cousin of Elwes punched the Clermont owner hard on the jaw, shouting: "That's what I think of your bloody speech, Aspinall."
A quarter of a century later, there has been a total turnover in the residents of Stewart's Grove. At his tiny Chelsea house, the shades of the Clermont set have been banished, along with the carpets of 1970s beige. The Taggarts have redecorated in blue and painted the outside terracotta. They have planning permission for a £50,000 first-floor conservatory to flood the house with daylight. Even without it, the house would make £425,000, say Marcus Lawler of agents John D Wood. The little houses are currently very popular. "They don't come on the market very often and, when they do, they go quickly." Selling would not be a problem, even with its melancholy history of the butterfly broken on the wheel.
"People of our age were only 10 at the time of the Lucan case," explains Mr Taggart, "so I'm not sure that the Elwes link would have much resonance."

Web Operations is always moving forward, at the cutting edge of every major trend. The latest leap is having a fully automated infrastructure – lightning fast provisioning, integrated monitoring & trending, and trivial application deployment.
Utilizing a mixture of open source tools (such as Chef, Nanite, CouchDB, and RabbitMQ) and battle-tested techniques, Adam and Ezra will show you how to build an infrastructure that's easy to manage, integrates with your application, and is self-documenting. Along the way, they'll give you the key insights you need to get maximum benefit from these technologies for your business.
The speakers come from two companies well-known in this space. Engine Yard is moving to the cloud – in addition to their own internal hosting offering they built their stellar reputation on. Opscode brings "infrastructure automation to the masses". Born from years of experience building fully automated infrastructure for dozens of startups, they are the creators of Chef.
Ezra Zygmuntowicz is a founder and Director of Software Engineering for Engine Yard, a scalable Ruby hosting platform. He has been active in the ruby community for over 4 years with contributions to many open source projects such as Rails, Merb, Rack and Rubinius. He is the author of Deploying Rails Application for the pragmatic programmers and is an active speaker at many ruby and Cloud computing based events.
Adam has been a systems administrator for 25 years, most recently as a CTO. He helped write Chef and Habitat; is on the board of and co-founded Chef Software, and is a passionate advocate for sustainable free and open source communities (https://sfosc.org). He also likes beaches more than mountains, is allergic to plants, and gets nervous every time he speaks in public.

Government cries for help over floundering ID scheme
Exploring the challenges involved in large-scale IT projects in the public sector.
A big dose of digital for the NHS
Identity assurance - how it will affect public ... – ComputerWeekly.com
UK ID consultation depicts applause – ComputerWeekly.com
Lack of trust for banks causes NHS rethink over ... – ComputerWeekly.com
The government is failing to get enough help from the private sector to make its next generation identity scheme work at full speed.
It has tried to gathering details of about people's use of social media to make up a deficit of data its needs to operate its next generation identity scheme. And it has been talking with mobile phone companies about taking part in its ID scheme as well.
David Rennie, head of industry engagement for Verify, the private sector ID scheme the Cabinet Office is building to replace last decade's dreaded, "big brother" public sector ID Card, said it had launched a public consultation to find out where it was going wrong.
"The biggest challenge – and the one that surprised us – is we have difficulty verifying identities to a high standard – all the way across the spectrum," Rennie told a conference last week.
"That's because we haven't got a data ecosystem where we can actually get to trustworthy sources of data," he said.
Verify was designed to rely on the private sector to prove who people where. Its operation would depend on companies putting little bits of evidence of people's daily activities – such as bills paid, transactions completed – into a sort of personal data market. Verify would throw a net into this sea of data and pull out a life history so detailed it would be tough for a forger to make it up. But private companies have not been prepared to give the data up.
"That's our biggest challenge," Rennie told private sector IT specialists at the Identity Summit conference in London.
"How do you explain that they need to make that data available to their users, to verify an identity that will allow them to use that identity to go to a competitor?
"We have found it's actually difficult getting trustworthy data that meets the high government standard.
"So we've done projects looking at social network data, for example. Could that be used as part of the evidence?" he said.
Cabinet Office had meanwhile been relying on the Home Office passport database to verify basic credentials such as people's date of birth and passport number. But Government Digital Service, part of the Cabinet Office developing Verify, said last month it would on its launch in 2016 only be able to meet a standard of proof called Level 2: less than necessary to guarantee someone's identity beyond reasonable doubt. It was expected to be useful only for low security transactions. It has been providing ID services at that level to 300,000 people already under a pre-launch beta-phase prototype system.
Rennie said GDS had been working with mobile phone operators and banks to get its data ecosystem set up. It reckoned that mobile data, banking data and social media data would between them cover the three areas where it expected to find what it needed to prove someone's identity.
"We talk to the banks a lot. And there are some very rich data sources there. So we are working with the mobile network operators to understand how mobile plays into identity. It's a very interesting proposition when you start juxtaposing government data, banking data and mobile data, with the user's consent and control. So there's some very interesting possibilities," he said.
But the Cabinet Office still wasn't making enough progress: "So we need to engage with the private sector around where their pain points are, and where the government should be working with the private sector to address their pain points. So to that end we are doing a consultation, so we have a comprehensive understanding of how government and private sector should work together to address this problem."
Cabinet Office had always expected Verify would have difficulty establishing the identities of people "at the perimeter", or the fringes of society, because corporate records of the "financially excluded" would be scant. But it was having as much trouble getting hold of data for everyone else as well.
"It is the intention that we should get the private sector to engage in this and realise the benefits of making their data available for users. So the more data points you can go to the better.
"No two users are going to have the same profile of data points. 80 per cent of people have passports. A very high percentage of adults have mobile phones, so that's why we've been particularly interested in getting to that data source, and have been speaking to mobile operators," Rennie told the conference.
slabman - 16 Oct 2015 6:54 AM
Seriously? The UK Government wants to ID&V citizens through knowledge-based authentication. All its commercial ID providers ultimately rely on Experian or other bureaux and some citizens don't have enough of a footprint there. And the Government is saying that it doesn't know where to turn to find other sources of data about its citizens. I would gently suggest that the Government itself just might possibly have some data sources it could leverage.
Colin Wallis - 24 Oct 2015 12:02 AM
@slabman: Sure the Government has some data sources, even some authoritative ones, but I can understand how it was considered too hard to integrate and expose those data sources. I think the two issues here are the business model and culture. There is a long-game argument about ecosystem development that the private sector might buy into, if they could be incented to start with. Because om the face of it, why would business care? I think GDS did offer some incentives to 'prime the pump' as it were, which is why you have the providers that are there today. But some banks hold a cultural position that customers who use its services (logon for electronic banking etc) should be doing it just for their services. Of course other banks don't - BankID in its various guises in Europe, SecureKey Concierge in Canada, and those banks that have signed up to MiiCard are examples. But not all banks agree on this approach. If it was me, I would approach it slightly differently, and 'open' the technology platform with stubs and APIs, so pretty much anyone can easily integrate whatever parts they want, to do their business - and have the Trust Framework operate around the players' use of the platform. I think the barrier would be lowered that way, with correspondingly more velocity. Cheers

GMA News Online reports that supporters of Filipino figure skater Michael Christian Martinez-including triathlete and blogger Noelle de Guzman and UAAP volleyball player Gretchen Ho-have launched a crowdfunding initiative to help raise funds for his 2018 Olympics bid.
According to the report, De Guzman and Ho "started a crowdfunding wish list at Giftlauncher.com, where anyone from all over the world can support Martinez through Paypal, G-cash and online bank transfers, ATM banking, and even non-banking facilities through Dragonpay." All proceeds from the campaign will be turned over to Martinez's mother, Teresa, after the campaign period.
Martinez gained prominence for being the first figure skater from the Philippines and a Southeast Asian country to compete in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Business mogul Manny Pangilinan earlier said he will give a $10,000 bonus to the 17-year-old athlete for his performance in the Olympics and will help support him throughout his training for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Anyone interested to donate may view the wishlist at www.giftlauncher.com/supportmichael.

This is an experiment and departure from my normal style so please tell me what you think.
Very nice experimental style! It's cool to change one's style every once in a while. Is this "actual" cut paper or "Photoshop" cut paper? Technology is so good, that now it's hard to tell. I've been accused of "photoshopping" my cross-hatching.
I like the strong silhouette the paper cut makes. This made me laugh. Nice.
this is good. i had the 'flu' jab 8 weeks ago and have had bronchitis ever since. flu jab-bah humbug!
i love it josh! It is fun and the characters, although evildoers are adorable and fun and make them approachable! Really great!
I like your experiment ;) Paper cut is so much fun! Nice strong colors too!
I love the cut paper style of this piece and the monsters are wondefully designed. Thanks for being the first person to comment on my blog!! :)!!!
I really like this a lot! Very strong image and very strong message, and yet it manages to be so very whimsical.
Always a fan of the paper cut style! The colours, and textures add even more fun to the characters.
Oh! I really like your experiment!

Chelsea got back to winning ways in the Premier League thanks to goals fromPedro Rodriguez and Willian either side of Newcastle's equaliser.
After their disappointing goalless draw with Southampton in their last Premier League outing, it was important for Maurizio Sarri's side to get three points on the board.
They got off to a perfect start as David Luiz's superb lofted pass was subtly executed by Spanish international Pedro with a sumptuous lob.
Newcastle stunned Stamford Bridge just before the break, however, as Ciaran Clark headed into the bottom corner to make it 1-1.
Willian, who has recently been linked with a move to Barcelona, scored the winner for the Blues three minutes shy of the hour mark from an Eden Hazard assist.
Chelsea, currently in fourth position in the table, move six points clear of nearest rivals Arsenal, who lost to West Ham United earlier in the day by a single goal.


What Are Soap Nuts? – Fyve, Inc.
Home › Beautifully Spoken › What Are Soap Nuts?
I just learned of these soap nuts, actually a berry, that washes your clothes naturally and I'm just blown away by what they do.
These amazing berries come from the Sapindus mukorossi (Soap Berry) tree. It's the shells of this berry that contain saponin, a natural surfactant, or soap. When placed in warm water, the berries release the saponin and washes your clothes. It's also a natural fabric softener too - no need for those chemical laden fabric softeners either!
I was so skeptical at first. I placed these dried nut-looking berries into a muslin cloth bag, threw them in the wash and hoped that I didn't just waste time, water, and money if I had to do the load all over again. I could not believe it! My clothes came out so soft and clean. There was no smell to it, just a fresh and clean smell.
The best part was, after using the berries, you just hang the bag to dry, and re-use them for about 5 times! When they're soft and gray looking, you can compost them! I just can't even... I mean, where have I been?! A hypoallergenic, truly all-natural, compostable, nut-berry thing, that cleans and softens your clothes.
So if you've got super sensitive skin, like my daughter does, and you truly want something that is all-natural, eco-friendly, and actually works, you've got to check out Essence One's Soap Nut Laundry Cleaner.
Stay healthy and happy and enjoy the rest of your week. This is definitely a huge way to live simply and stay beautiful!

Ivo Herenčić
Ivo Herenčić (28 February 1910, Bjelovar – 8 December 1978, Buenos Aires, Argentina) was a general of the Croatian World War II Ustaše regime in charge of the Independent State of Croatia during World War II.
By 1944 Herenčić rose to be the commander of all Ustaše units which had been merged with the regular Domobran army by this point. At war's end, and the postwar flight to Bleiburg, he was in command of the Fifth Ustaše Corps.
Herenčić was one of the officials responsible for organizing the surrender of Croatian troops to the British as part of Operation Keelhaul. Herenčić was one of the senior officers at the meeting with Brigadier Patrick Scott of the 38th (Irish) Infantry Brigade.
The result of this meeting was considered unsuccessful by Herenčić as it was decided that retreating Croat soldiers and civilians would not be allowed to pass further than the Austrian border. Herenčić had a second meeting, in Bleiburg, where Scott decided that his troops would have to surrender their arms to the Yugoslav Partisans.[1]
Although he was not able to negotiate Croatian passage into Austria, he himself was able to break through the British occupiers, and made his way to Italy. From there he traveled to Argentina, where he died 8 December 1978 in Buenos Aires, aged 68.

NEW book available now: Transpersonal Leadership in Action
Our Approach Explained
All Published Media
BLENDED LEARNING, using a range of techniques and processes, is proven to have strong foundations in the latest principles of neuroscience. It is devised in brain-friendly 'easily digestible' sections, contextually related to the client's work situation, for long-term, sustainable outcomes. All LeaderShape programmes work with these principles, and best practice in Work-Based Learning.
What is brain friendly learning? Watch this video to find out.
All our programmes provide a blend of:
Remote (ALIVE© calls or masterclasses) learning
Online (ALIVE© prep) learning
Social (face to face or remote workshops/masterclasses) learning
Work place learning (so that participants are enabled to practice and refine their new insights and competencies in their daily work).
The proportion of formal to informal learning is optimally 20:80. Clearly the practice of new skills in the workplace is crucial to achieving this balance and so becoming embedded.
We encourage the development of reflective practice throughout the process. Clients deepen their ability to make connections to apply the learning to their own situation in their workplace.
ALIVE Prep
ALIVE Prep is accessed online, (on computer/ via an iPhone app or on a portable tablet). Each person is provided with their own unique log in for their learning programme. ALIVE prep is devised in brief, brain-friendly sections, contextually related to the client's work situation, for long-term, sustainable outcomes.
The content of "ALIVE© Prep" appeals to a wide range of learning preferences, for example using video, links to relevant articles and excerpts from texts and, importantly, responses to reflective questions in short passages, that are experientially related. Key executives and managers can organise study to fit in seamlessly with their personal and work-related commitments.
Using visual, audio and reflective sections and a range of different stimuli allows learners to engage in ways that are meaningful to them. The brain learns best in small, discrete pieces where there is a clear focus without distraction. Clients see connections to apply the learning to their own situation in their workplace. Reflections are shared with the tutor who supports the process.
The ALIVE prep acts as a crucial primer to ensure that workshop events are engaging and interactive rather than focused on the transfer of knowledge.
I like the variation. I also think it is very well paced. Its really user friendly, the details on each exercise are systematic and set up in a nice methodology for the best learning.
In a survey, 100% of participants in the ALIVE© Prep process found the material "Excellent" or "Very Good."
Typical feedback included:
"I particularly enjoyed being able to dip in and out of the (ALIVE Prep) workbook in my own time."
Face to Face masterclass
LeaderShape uses face-to-face Masterclasses wherever appropriate, to build on to the key information transfer from the ALIVE© Prep, in our blended learning approach. Working together in a group provides a valuable social and emotional connection that contributes strongly to embedded learning. It helps create cohesiveness and build a sense of community in the learning cohorts and enables a learning culture to emerge.
A highly INTERACTIVE approach is taken, using a variety of exercises to suit the topic and engage different learning preferences. These may include a range of activities, for example: small group break out discussions, group or team games, drawing or mindfulness exercises designed to engage and create lasting insights for participants.

Why are Michigan Replacement Windows Important?
Building and designing your home in such a way that reduces and minimizes moisture and the intrusion of mold is vitally important. Not only can this have an adverse affect on you and your family's health, it can also affect your budget. Not only is this important for initial construction, it is also something of equal importance when considering Michigan replacement windows. A good window can be a valuable safety measure and an important line of defense against the threat of water, and it can also have a number of other notable benefits.
A good replacement window properly installed by the experts at Kroll Construction can actually keep your home temperature closer to what you desire with less effort. This is achieved with energy-efficient glass packages that prevent the natural transfer of heat and cold during the extreme Michigan weather seasons.
There is actually a significant return in investment that can occur with replacing your Michigan windows by lowering the amount of energy it takes to cool or heat your home. This ultimately will reduce the environmental impact you and your family will have and improve the overall value of your home.
In addition to these benefits it is also important to note that window replacement can also protect you and your family's health.
If you are not sure if your windows should be replaced, examine between the panes of glass on double or triple-glazed windows, looking for condensation. Condensation can indicate that your windows are having seal failure and this may call for either replacing the glass or the entire window.
Check the carpet or other objects in the area surrounding the window. If there appears to be any areas that are "burnt out" in color this may be an indication that your windows need a Low E glass coating to block the harmful ultraviolet rays that may be harming your home.

For advertising purposes some sheets of the Great Britain 1d. lilac of 1881 and ½d. vermilion of 1887 were printed on the backs, over the gum, with the legend 'Pear's Soap', in double-lined lettering in orange, blue, or mauve. A number of unused copies have survived but their postal use was vetoed by the Postmaster-General. The 1893 stamps of New Zealand carried advertising in the reverse. Some cases are known in which labels printed se-tenant with stamps to make up booklet panes have been used for adverting. Over many years the stamp booklets of great Britain and some other countries have been interleaved with advertising pages.
'Adson' stamps of new Zealand of 1893 are the stamps carrying advertisements on their backs. Messr's Truebridge, Miller & Reich of Wellington were the agents, and the ads. were on the 1882-97 series of Q.V. Many of the products given publicity are well known in G.B. and even today are household names; Sunlight Soap, Fry's and Cadbury's chocolate, 'Flag' sauces, etc. Others were local firms.
