It's Prime Time: Don't Miss These 6 Prime Original Series
Share on E-Mail
So much Prime, so little time. Did you know that an Amazon Prime membership provides more than just two-day shipping on your favorite household items? Through Amazon Prime Video, members can watch award-winning and critically-acclaimed Prime Originals (such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan), as well as thousands of top hit movies and TV shows including Mr. Robot, The Americans, and Lady Bird. And now, you'll be able to enjoy Prime Video on a TV near you on Xfinity X1! With Prime Video on X1 you'll be able to search using the X1 Voice Remote – just say "Show me best of Prime Video" – plus enjoy shows and movies available in 4K Ultra HD and HDR.
Here are six trending Prime Originals to catch up on through Prime Video:
1. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Fans of Gilmore Girls will appreciate the fast-paced nature of this Emmy award-winning Prime Original, which deals out mile-a-minute zingers and tons of witty dialogue like the beloved series from writer-director Amy Sherman-Palladino before it. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel gives the spotlight to a motormouth heroine who's as easy to root for as she is hard to keep up with. It's one of the best shows on Prime Video — a period piece that fuses fun with feminism, as the titular character struggles to make it on her own in 1950s New York.
2. Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan
Tom Clancy's iconic spy thriller gets a modern update for the small screen and features John Krasinski in the titular role. Krasinski plays Ryan, a low-level CIA analyst turned top-level exec tasked with preventing international crime. The first season was so popular that a second was greenlighted during production of the first – so now's the time to catch up on each heart-pounding, palm-sweating episode from the first season.
3. Homecoming
Based on the popular podcast of the same name, Homecoming is a psychological thriller starring Julia Roberts. Roberts' role as Heidi Bergman is a caseworker at Homecoming, a facility helping soldiers transition to civilian life. Years later, she's started a new life when a Department of Defense auditor inquires why she left Homecoming. Bergman quickly realizes that the true purpose of the facility had been kept from her all along. Produced and directed by the creator of Mr. Robot, Sam Esmail, Homecoming has already garnered critical praise with its recent debut.
4. The Man in the High Castle
As fans of shows ranging from Doctor Who to the Twilight Zone can attest, stories about dystopian environments are nothing new. The twist with The Man in the High Castle is that it explores life in 1960's America but in a world in which the Axis Powers won World War II. What at first seems like an inconceivable premise quickly becomes an engrossing thrill ride; one whose debut season garnered an impressive 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
5. The Romanoffs
Glitz and glamour meet greed in this new masterpiece from Matthew Weiner, whose show Mad Men arguably set the stage for a renaissance in contemporary television dramas. This eight-episode anthology covers distinct individuals from around the world who claim to be descendants of the eponymous Russian royal family. Each film-length episode is rolling out one at a time, rather than all at once. The result invites viewers to savor each as a standalone work of art (perhaps over a glass of bubbly?).
6. Sneaky Pete
If Sneaky Pete teaches us anything, it's that Bryan Cranston can do no wrong in his imaginative interpretations of other people's wrongdoings. The Breaking Bad alum co-created this crime drama, which follows a con man (played by the highly talented Giovanni Ribisi) who assumes the identity of "Pete," his former prison cellmate. A gripping, suspenseful, and deft portrayal of intrigue and deceit woven seamlessly with a touch of humor and warm family dynamics make this drama a can't-miss.
Family dramedies, dystopian sci-fi, intimate depictions of criminal masterminds — Prime Video makes it easy to find something for everyone to watch, and now you can watch it all seamlessly on your home's big screen with Xfinity X1.

GOING BACK AND FORWARD – 25 YEARS OF TRANSITION AND YET NO END OF HISTORY IN SIGHT
By Vedran Dzihic
It seemed to be a wonderful dream of a world and particularly Europe reaching the end of history (Francis Fukuyama) and entering an era of everlasting liberal democratic peace. In some parts of Europe it worked out quite good, at least for a period of time. Championing the successful winners in the race towards the end goal of democracy in 2004 during the first big bang enlargement was nice and promising. Closing one European eye on some losers waging wars in Former Yugoslavia or permanently lagging behind like Moldavia or Belarus for example was rather frustrating.
The global economic crisis has revealed the fragility of the political and socio-economic systems and jeopardized a democratic consensus. As Jan Werner-Müller has recently put it in Foreign Affairs "democracy is struggling: nearly all the countries that joined the EU during the last decade are experiencing profound political crisis." 25 years after the end of the Cold War, initial euphoria about democratic change in many countries of the East and Southeast has given way to growing mistrust in political institutions and political representatives, and an increasing disaffection with democracy itself. This wide-ranging disaffection is due to the weak performance of political systems and a rather weak output of the regimes, be it in political, social or economic terms, be it in terms of more justice and equality. Politicians seem not (any more) able or willing to deliver tangible results to their voters. Harking back to Abraham Lincoln's famous quote that democracy was "government of the people, by the people, for the people", politics thus produces no or too little goods "for" the people.
Thus, the situation in (some parts of) Europe is rather dramatic, with some major challenges and conflicting trends portraying a picture of a rather divided than continent united in peace. There is even a risk of European parts drifting apart, having one part of Europa dedicated to liberalism, democracy and openness and another one embracing authoritarian values and illiberalism. As Michael Ignatieff put it recently in New York Review: "A new political competitor to liberal democracy began to take shape: authoritarian in political form, capitalist in economics, and nationalists in ideology."
With the general crisis of democracy in the inner circle of democracies we face an emergence of grey-zones between democracy and authoritarianism and even new forms of authoritarianism in some parts of Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Classical authoritarianism seeks for an absolute obedience, is directed against individual freedoms and liberties and always ready to use repression against opponents. New authoritarian regimes are chameleon-like – they are able to adjust to new circumstances, they have institutionalized representation of a variety of actors and they even incorporate some democratic procedures like elections and thus create a structure resistant to change.
Looking at the peripheries of Europa might help us illustrate this assumption. The peripheries are zones of anger (as Sloterdijk has put it), where the perceptions of Europa and general values are in a constant flux with no finality in sight. It is precisely in the peripheries that we see competing and conflicting narratives of Europe and more generally conflicting narratives about the regimes best suited to rule. The one is basically oriented towards liberal and democratic values and another one heading towards authoritarian values. In between lies an explosive mix of uncertainty. There are many examples to illustrate this rift, be it Ukraine, Hungary, countries of the Western Balkans or even Bulgaria. As we have seen in the Ukrainian case, the drifting apart of parts of the country in terms of narratives about Europa quickly translated into violent division of the country creating facts on the ground that are – probably – here to stay (see Crimea). Parts of the Western Balkans are also an interesting place to look at. Here we have fragile states with no solution for internal ethnic conflicts and disputes while at the same time regimes with strong (male) rule are emerging, pairing populism and nationalism with quite of the empty rhetoric of reforms and Europeanization. Hungary that is, at least according to its Prime Minister Orban, embracing "illiberal democracy" and limiting some fundamental freedoms, or Bulgaria with constant parallelism between protests, elections and new governments not able to deliver what population seems to want are further examples of fundamental changes going on in Europe nowadays. To make my point – in Eastern- und Southeastern part of Europe, not to speak about Russia or Turkey, in a region that went through more than two decades of democratization, we are witnessing new challenges to democracy and emergence of grey zone semi-authoritarian regimes, which – under the guise of democracy – limit individual freedom and reduce liberties.
"What is going on?", asked Radical French philosopher Alan Badiou two years ago. "Of what we are the half-fascinated, half-devastated witnesses? The continuation, at all costs, of a weary world? A salutary crisis of that world, racked by its victorious expansion? The end of that world? The advent of a different world?"
We don't know what is going on, but we all feel and fear that some pieces of our free world as we knew it since 1989 are falling apart. Are we facing a completely new era where the core values and achievements of open societies will continue to stumble? Or will the crisis help revitalizing democracy and proving that radical democracy thinkers underlining the need for a constant renegotiation and struggle for the sake of democracy? In any case, instead of the end of history we see it rewritten before our eyes. A fascinating and dangerous exercise we may say.

Many people I speak to don't have an understanding about how brokerages and agents work together. Many think that agents work for brokerages in a traditional model where paychecks are issued every two weeks and all marketing expenses are covered by "the company". The truth is, each of us realtors are independent sole proprietors who function as our own company–paying for all expenses including our own insurance, marketing for our listings and any other overhead. We each pay a percentage or "split" to our brokerages per transaction, and we pay fees for things such as office space, technology support, etc. So, how do agents choose which brokerage they'll work with? Some newer agents go to brokerages known for initial training and some go to brokerages which may offer incentives such as profit sharing.
In the case of Pacific Union, I chose a brokerage known for working with agents who have experience in residential real estate, understand business based thinking and have a track record of successfully helping clients succeed. In addition to being a forward-thinking real estate powerhouse, Pacific Union International's innovative approach to real estate enables me to provide a higher degree of service to my clients then ever before. For the last 40 years, Pacific Union has been setting the standard for Bay Area real estate by empowering it's agents to deliver remarkable service to clients at every price point. As a result, last year Pacific Union closed over $6.7 billion in sales (far outpacing even the nearest competitor) and was included in the Inc. 5000 list, which ranks the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. based on the previous three years' revenue growth.
As Pacific Union continues it's thoughtful growth trajectory, and development of tools such as Private View and Best Buyer Reports, I gain innovative and proprietary market research to help my clients reach their real estate goals. With 95% of Bay Area buyers coming from California, it only makes sense for Pacific Union to expand it's footprint and influence within the state we call home. These sort of business-minded tools and strategies are offered by no other brokerages in California–or in the U.S., for that matter.
In addition to almost 2 decades of experience in our local SF Bay Area/mid-peninsula real estate market and my business-based, fiduciary approach to client relationships, Pacific Union adds to my ability to execute incredible marketing for my listings and to help my buyers find the perfect home for them. Please feel free to text, call or email me to discuss how I can help you with any real estate needs you have.

Precautionary recapitalisations: Time for a review
by Willem Pieter De Groen
Willem Pieter De Groen
With the introduction of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), public capital contributions to insolvent banks should have become a thing of the past or at least an extremely unlikely eventuality. The supposedly exceptional precautionary recapitalisation of Banca Monte dei Paschi (MPS) seems to offer evidence to the contrary. Based on a review of the empirical literature and the resent resolution of Banco Popular and MPS, this paper argues that a precautionary recapitalisation facility can be in the taxpayers' interest, but only under very specific circumstances and conditions. The current rules on precautionary recapitalisation and guidelines for the supervisory exercises used to determine the shortfall should therefore be revised. On the one hand, the current requirements are too flexible leaving room for public capital injections into de facto insolvent banks, while on the hand, the requirements imposed on the recapitalisation amounts are too rigid to allow the realisation of maximum economic returns.

Parque industrial ou zona industrial é um espaço territorial no qual se agrupam uma série de atividades industriais ou empresariais que podem ou não estar relacionadas entre si. Os parques industriais geralmente contêm uma série de serviços comuns, como por exemplo: abastecimento de energia eléctrica, abastecimento de água com diversos tipos de tratamento (potável, para caldeiras, para arrefecimento), serviço de vigilância, recepcionismo, tratamento de águas residuais, e modernos sistemas de transporte intermodais.

Características
Os parques industriais são geralmente localizados fora das zonas residenciais de uma cidade. Normalmente, é oferecido, às zonas industriais, um bom acesso aos meios de transporte, incluindo transporte rodoviário, ferroviário e marítimo-fluvial. Os parques industriais são geralmente localizados perto de modernas instalações de transporte transporte intermodal, onde coincidem: rodovias, ferrovias, aeroportos e portos.

O conceito de parque industrial é bastante diverso, contudo é geralmente aceito que:

 Para ser capaz de se concentrar dedicada infraestrutura (engenharia, tecnologia e economia), uma área deve ser delimitada para redução dos custos advindos da montagem das estruturas industriais;
 Em sua infraestrutura, devem existir rodovias, ramais ferroviários, portos, suprimentos elétricos de alta potência (muitas vezes incluindo energia trifásica), cabos high-end comunicações, grande volume de água, e grande suprimento de gás;
 Deve ser capaz de atrair novos negócios, fornecendo uma infraestrutura integrada em um único local;
 Deve estar relativamente distante de áreas urbanas para tentar reduzir o impacto ambiental e social dos usos industriais;
 Deve ser elegível como um local de concentração industrial;
 Deve possuir rígido controle dos danos ambientais.

From the collection
École de Barbizon through to Gerhard Richter
The Heinrich Merz Collection and Others
26.2. – 26.3.2008
This presentation represents a survey of the art from the nineteenth century through to the present day. The focus is on the École de Barbizon via German Impressionism through to Symbolism.
École de Barbizon described a group of French landscape painters, who lived and worked in the French village of Barbizon in Île-de-France. The achievements of the artist colony, which existed from around 1830 to 1870, had a decisive influence on landscape painting in Europe. The school is considered to be a forerunner of Impressionism and continues to be known today through the names of its famous representatives such as Gustave Courbet, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot or Jean-François Millet.
What united the artists of the École de Barbizon and those of Impressionism was the search for truth in nature. Both movements represented a departure from the classical and idealistic landscape compositions that had set the style until then. Furthermore, work in the studio was increasingly replaced by painting en plein air – out in the open. As what the artists shared was not so much the pursuit of a certain goal but rather the abandonment of academic classicism you find within the groups totally different techniques and styles: from Corot's light, fine brushstroke through to the thick impasto application of color found in Jules Dupré.
Symbolism first became known to a wider public at the Exposition Universelle in Paris of 1889. From here it spread through the whole of Europe. Unlike the artists of Impressionism and the École de Barbizon, the Symbolists drew on depictions of nature as metaphors for an encoded conception of the world – true to the statement from the Symbolist manifesto by Jean Moréau, 1886: "It is a fundamental characteristic of Symbolist art to never attempt to define an idea in clear terms". In a move away from Courbet's realism and his representatives the objective was to find an artwork's emotional depth. The world and its phenomena were seen as symbols of a deeper reality. Art was to function as a mediator between these levels. The Symbolists addressed the motifs of classical mythology or the Bible, not to mention topics such as dreams, ecstasy, illness, death, sin and passion. Swiss artist Arnold Böcklin, who features prominently in this exhibition is one of the movement's famous representatives. Symbolism has parallels to Art Nouveau and is considered to be a connecting link between Impressionism which preceded it and the subsequent art movement, Expressionism.
Special attention is devoted in this presentation to the contemporary painting of Gerhard Richter. Born in 1932 in Dresden, Richter is one of the most influential artists of his time. His work has developed continually over four decades and is characterized by a diversity of artistic methods and motifs. The early gray works painted from photographs were followed in the late 1960s by meticulous explorations of the impact of color. Underlying his radical approach of repeatedly reinventing painting is Richter's desire, "to form an impression of this world".

Martin: FCC Must Face Varying Decency Standards
By Billboard Staff
FCC commissioner Kevin Martin told broadcasters today (Oct. 7) at the NAB convention in San Diego that there is "increasing tension" over different decency standards for broadcasters and paid subscrip
FCC commissioner Kevin Martin told broadcasters today (Oct. 7) at the NAB convention in San Diego that there is "increasing tension" over different decency standards for broadcasters and paid subscription services transmitted via cable and satellite. The Republican commissioner said it is a subject the FCC "will have to face -- whether or not there should be changes made to level the playing field."
The comments came up during an FCC breakfast discussion with Martin and Democratic commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, moderated by Bonneville president Bruce Reese. Neither Martin nor Adelstein would specifically address the news that indecency posterchild Howard Stern is moving from terrestrial to satellite radio.
Martin said there is an important distinction between consumers choosing to receive and paying for a program versus one broadcast for free over the public airwaves.
Adelstein noted that the courts, too, differentiate between free, over the air broadcasting and subscription-based services that involve consumer choice. If Congress ordered the Commission to regulate satellite and cable it would do so, Adelstein said, adding, "I'm not sure the courts would uphold that."
Calling indecency enforcement "one of the least favorite parts of my job," Adelstein said the FCC enforces the congressionally mandate indecency statute "with great care" while upholding the First Amendment.
"I don't think the FCC should go after performers," Adelstein said, referring to proposed legislation in Congress that would do exactly that. "It's the licensee's obligation to keep their airwaves appropriate." He also intimated that the Commission would soon be releasing some decisions that make it clearer what the FCC considers indecent and what it does not. Billboard Radio Monitor has learned that the commission is close to ruling on about 20 pending indecency cases.
Speaking from the floor, a broadcaster warned the commissioners that if indecency enforcement pushed edgy talent over to satellite radio, terrestrial radio would suffer from bland programming.
Martin also weighed in on the Third Circuit Court Of Appeals decision to uphold the FCC's market redefinition rule. Initially apprehensive about converting to an Arbitron-based market definition, Martin said the Commission needs to understand the implications for small, unrated markets before proceeding with a revised definition for them. His watchwords: "proceed carefully."
Greeted with a nearly universal thumbs down from radio, the FCC proposal to require station airchecking also received floor-time, with Martin saying he's sensitive to the burden it would place on stations -- "particularly ones without a history of indecency complaints. Martin says the Commission should differentiate between broadcasters with a pattern of indecency violations and those without.
With a Nov. 1 comment deadline looming for the commission's Notice Of Inquiry on localism, Adelstein urged broadcasters to let the commission hear from them on the subject. Martin said he believes many broadcasters already provide the localism and community service that public interest groups have been clamoring for, but haven't done a good job of getting the word out about their public service efforts.

I Think I Should Have Gone With Tungsten Vs. Titanium
If you own a piece of tungsten jewelry, whether it's a bracelet, a necklace, or a ring, then you're not alone. Godfrey Huggins, the Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from 1933 - 1953 became convinced that war was inevitable after the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany in March 1939. 22nd December 1941: tungsten rings About 43,000 Japanese troops begin the main invasion of Luzon; American and Filipino troops begin to amass on Bataan.
A few years ago, the process of creating tungsten carbide rings requires some extensive technology due to the complex characteristics of the tungsten metal.

On 2nd February 1944, women's tungsten wedding bands Germany's development of an atomic bomb was slowed by Norwegian and British commandos who successfully sabotaged the Norsk Heavy Water Plant and sank a ferry loaded with the deuterium oxide and other machinery needed for bomb development.

Men today choose tungsten over other metals because of the durability and robustness of the tungsten rings which fits very well with their daily activities. To secure the military support needed to stop the Soviet offensive coordinating with D-day, the Ryti-Ribbentrop Agreement was signed on 26th June 1944, in which Finland and Nazi Germany became active allies.
Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) was the dictatorial leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, or Nazi Party, who took control of the nation's Government and commanded all German forces leading up to and throughout World War II. A mentally deranged fanatic nationalist,womens tungsten carbide rings militarist, racist, and anti-Semite, Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933 and using terror and murder, quickly transformed Germany into a totalitarian fascist state.
The Admiralty had drafted four options for the French admiral: (1) to put to sea and join forces with the Royal Navy; (2) to sail with reduced crews to British ports, where the vessels would be impounded and their complements repatriated; (3) to sail with reduced crews to the base at Dakar, where the ships would be immobilized; or (4) to scuttle his ships within six hours.
Tungsten carbide on the other hand is very durable and will last for a very long time, possibly generations even. India also provided the Allies with assault and training bases and provided huge quantities of food and other materials to British and Commonwealth forces, and to people on the British home front.

Morrow wins award for autism research
Calo named ACS Fellow
Eric Morrow
August 29, 2012 Media contact: Mark Nickel 401-863-2476
Eric Morrow, assistant professor of molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry, recently won a $250,000, two-year award jointly given by the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative and the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation, two of the leading private autism philantropies. Morrow will use the money to gain insight into the possible role that specific genetic mutations play in severe and difficult-to-treat forms of autism by studying the neurological effects of the mutations in mouse models. As part of the award, Morrow has been named a Simons Investigator, which brings him into a prestigious community of researchers working to combat the condition. Morrow said he is honored to have this link, which includes special meetings and conferences, with colleagues whom he considers in the vanguard of the field. "The community of investigators is a very impressive group," he said. In addition to performing genetic studies and other lab-based science at Brown, Morrow is a neuropsychiatrist who sees autism patients for purposes of this research at the Bradley Hospital in East Providence.


We are on day 11 and now is a good time to talk about blanks.
Blank eggs... what are they? These eggs aren't developing, were probably never fertilized, and need to be removed from the incubator. If you are candling eggs that you can see light through and you aren't seeing any development, it's a good time to think about removing them. Eggs that are too dark to candle properly (such as Marans eggs that are dark chocolate brown), I typically leave in and give the benefit of the doubt.
The above photo shows a good example of a blank egg on day 11. At this point, you should have a noticeable dark blob that probably reacts to the light by moving around.
Embryo starts drawing calcium from eggshell to support growing bones.

Back To School: Dramas That Will Get You Hyped For The School Season
by amycwang93
Back to school season usually brings out a variety of emotions, ranging from excitement to being nervous to trying to play it cool. The best advice we can give you is to spend the last few days of summer vegetating and binging on some dramas! Here are some dramas that can get you in the mood for going back to school!
1. "Twenty Again"
Ever wondered what it would be like to go to school with your parent (or child)? Then what happens when you throw in a spouse and an old flame into the mix? "Twenty Again" isn't your traditional school drama (starring Choi Ji Woo and Lee Sang Yoon), but it's definitely full of drama that occurs because of school. Maybe it's not always about high school sweethearts; keep your eyes peeled open for them college cuties!
Catch the first episode of "Twenty Again" below!
2. "Dream High"
It may be too late for some of us (for those who still have a chance – go for it!), but we can live vicariously through these six characters (Kim Soo Hyun, Ham Eun Jung, Taecyeon, IU, and Wooyoung) as they chase their dreams of becoming an idol. It's a great drama, especially if you want to see some of your favorite idols demonstrate their superb acting skills!
Catch the first episode of "Dream High" below!
3. "Reply 1997"
In many ways, this drama (starring Seo In Guk and Jung Eun Ji) can be seen as an educational documentary since it informs you on how to balance school and the life of being a dedicated K-pop fan. Follow the adolescent years of these friends who stick with each other through thick and thin. You can even learn some tips on how to get your parents to understand your passion for K-pop!
Catch the first episode of "Reply 1997" below!
4. "Moorim School"
The name of this drama (starring Lee Hyun Woo, Seo Ye Ji, and VIXX's Hongbin) is a little misleading in that it gives no insight to the magical dwellings in which you are about to enter. What starts off as a story about a bunch of misfits who are forced to interact with each other (which is nothing new to schools) develops into a wild adventure you cannot predict, which is also nothing new to schools!
Catch the first episode of "Moorim School" below!
5. "King of High School"
This drama (starring Seo In Guk, Lee Ha Na, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Lee Yul Eum) will make you wonder how the main character does it all? While this would definitely be an impossible task in real life, the characters make it seem possible and on top of it, enjoyable!
Catch the first episode of "King of High School" below!
This is another drama that might give some insight into what it would be like to go to school with your mom. "Angry Mom" (starring Kim Hee Sun, Ji Hyun Woo, and Kim Yoo Jung) examines some dark issues going on inside the education system and empowers us to do something about it!
Catch the first episode of "Angry Mom" below!
7. "Shut Up! Flower Boy Band"
There's something about rebels in a school that makes dramas that much more entertaining. The bad boy vibes are real in this drama (starring Sung Joon, Jo Bo Ah, Kim Min Suk, and INFINITE's L) and the group of bandmates is sure to make you swoon.
Catch the first episode of "Shut Up! Flower Boy Band" below!
8. "Boys Over Flowers"
While we may never be able to go to a fancy school like the F4 (Lee Min Ho, Kim Bum, Kim Hyun Joong, and Kim Joon), and we hope we never have to witness the same horrors that Jan Di (Ku Hye Sun) did, "Boys Over Flowers" is definitely a drama that you have to watch. It has all the tropes needed to make a good drama: an evil mom, bullies at school, a heroic male intervention followed by sacrifice, and the list goes on!
Catch the first episode of "Boys Over Flowers" below!
9. "Sassy Go Go"
"Sassy Go Go" is a lighthearted drama (starring Jung Eun Ji, Ji Soo, and Lee Won Geun) that is full of laughter and warmth. It's a delightful pick-me-up with some fierce (but healthy) competition between groups, which later evolves into an unimaginable friendship. The eye candy is also fairly enjoyable!
Catch the first episode of "Sassy Go Go" below!
10. "Goong"
While this drama is over 10 years old, and Prince Shin (Joo Ji Hoon) and Chae Kyung (Yoon Eun Hye) have been out of high school for way too long, the premise of the drama is based on two high schoolers getting married and still figuring out themselves in their late teens. The drama covers all the bases of high school from first love, to rejection, to school trips.
Catch the first episode of "Goong" below!
Which drama are you planning on binging before school starts? Let us know in the comments below?
amycwang93 loves eating, sleeping, and reading. She's keeping herself busy these days by rewatching one of her favorite dramas of all time, "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon," to empower herself and admire Park Hyung Sik.

Top Ten Airshow Moments of 2009
Thursday 31st December
As we turn our attention to the fast-approaching, and hopefully sun-kissed 2010 display season, UKAR looks back at the best 2009's British shows had to offer. We all had our favourite display aircraft and displays, as well as several which failed to capture our imagination, though thankfully the former far outnumbered the latter.
It was a season which saw an impressively servicable Vulcan appear at most of the major venues, a debut on these shores for an Armée de l'Air Dassault Rafale and a truly memorable marking of a century of naval aviation. On the negative side, the RAF's commitment to airshows was noticeably pared-down with the demise of the popular Role Demo and late cancellation of the Harrier solo, with emphasis on training types.
Nonetheless, 2009 had its moments, so pour yourself a New Year's drink, sit back and wallow in summer memories as we present our rundown of the Top Ten Airshow Moments of the 2009 airshow season.
Abbo lands Brize Prize
This years Abingdon Air and Country Show pulled off a massive coup with the static appearance of an RAF Boeing C-17A Globemaster III (ZZ174) from nearby RAF Brize Norton. Arriving before the gates opened, it is believed to be the largest aircraft ever to land at Abingdon. The aircraft performed a single flyby before breaking into a very tight circuit to land, upon touchdown the C-17A crew demonstrated the aircraft's impressive short landing capabilities comfortably on Abingdon's runway, before reversing into its parking space.
As is the demand for 99 Squadron's machines, the aircraft was ready to depart had they got an operational call during the show. The crew kindly took the time to show people around the jet throughout the day. Shortly after the flying display finished the C-17 departed, this time demonstrating a short takeoff before doing a single flyby before heading for home. No other UK airshow had an appearance from an RAF C-17A in 2009 - an amazing achievement for the Abingdon organisers; let's hope for another appearance in 2010!
The Right Stripes
Besides the C-17, the 10th Anniversary Air and Country Fair at Abingdon held many other items that could have been shortlisted amongst the highlights of 2009. Overcast for much of the flying display, the sun made a re-appearance towards the end of the day, just before the solo display of C-47 Skytrain N473DC "Drag-Em-Oot".
Paddy Green's fantastic Dakota, resplendent in her D-Day stripes, gave a magnificent display with some quite breathtaking bank-angles and tight turns, complete with a fantastic opportunity for a topside photograph which was, without doubt, one of the stand-out moments of the event and, as it turns out, one of our favourites from the entire year!
Under Jas Hawker's stewardship, the Red Arrows have been more than willing to formate with a range of aircraft in recent seasons, and 2009 was no exception. Marking Virgin Atlantic's 25th anniversary, the world's leading national display team paired up with one of the airline's Boeing 747-400s to perform two passes on the Sunday of the Biggin Hill International Air Fair.
Less common in the past two decades than in the 70s and 80s, it's always special to see big airliners displaying at low level at airshows, and much to the crowd's delight, the 747 returned for a couple of solo passes before spectacularly raising the gear and powering away.
There were mutterings of disapproval from those of a light blue persuasion when the Royal Navy launched a series of events under the name of 'Fly Navy 100' earlier this year. It was said that unlike the RAF's 90th anniversary celebration of 2008, the senior service had made a somewhat tenuous link between the Admiralty placing a tender for its first aircraft - the rigid airship 'Mayfly' - on 7th May 1909 and a centennial anniversary. After all, it wasn't until 13th April 1913 that the RNAS was formed and even then it was amalgamated with the RFC to form the RAF in 1918.
The centrepiece for proceedings was to be an amassed 'Balbo' flypast of all current Fleet Air Arm types - as well as examples of historic aircraft they once flew - that would take place at a number of events throughout the year. This photograph from RIAT shows the formation approaching from the east, headed up by four Merlins. It was perhaps sad to see that the fast jet contingent was not a pair of Sea Harrier FA.2s, but a brace of the RAF's Harrier GR.9s, albeit flown by pilots of the Naval Strike Wing. Nonetheless, it was a truly epic spectacle and reminder of the pride our naval aviators have of their unique operational capabilities and service's history.
Fly Wulf
When issues with the Civil Aviation Authority grounded the majority of The Fighter Collection's fleet this summer, there were fears for the effect it would have on the TFC-organised Flying Legends airshow at Duxford, with some rumours even suggesting cancellation was likely. As it turned out, the organisers pulled out all the stops and delivered one of the finest Legends shows in recent memory, with one item dominating the pre-show hype on our forums.
The first ever flying appearance by a Flug Werk Fw190 would itself have easily been a highlight of the 2009 airshow season, but to see it flown with such gusto, in formation with Spitfire Ltd's Bf109, and as part of the amazing Legends opening act of the Spitfire tailchase was truly awe inspiring.
The new build machine, an Fw190A-8/N, owned by Christophe Jacquard but flown with great energy by Marc 'Leon' Mathis, was the undoubted star amongst an especially high quality line-up of Flying Legends at Duxford.
Dassault Dazzler
This was the Armée de l'Air's debut season displaying the Dassault Rafale. We were lucky enough to have two appearances at UK airshows, at Yeovilton and RIAT respectively - sadly the former was very much a low show with poor weather. The weather gods were ever so slightly kinder for RIAT.
Replacing the fabulous Mirage 2000C on the display circuit would be no easy feat, but Rafale display pilot Capitaine Cedric Ruet was able to do so with a marvellous routine of power, noise and agility somewhat reminiscent of its predecessor. It certainly didn't go unnoticed either, as the display won two awards at RIAT, 'The Sir Douglas Bader Trophy' for the Best Individual Flying Display and also the 'As the Crow Flies Trophy' gaining the most votes from FRIAT members. A fitting tribute to a spectacular newcomer to the airshow circuit!
Rumens For Manoeuvre
With the weather during the Sunday at RIAT being predominantly wet with low cloud, the display by XH558 was clearly at risk of cancellation. Thankfully this didn't happen, and the Vulcan took to the runway as planned. What happened next will long remain in the memories of those present. Kev Rumens had taken over the left hand pilot's seat from Saturday's 'P1' Martin Withers, and after vaporising much of the standing water from Fairford's runway, Kev pulled the mighty Vulcan into its now familiar steep, loud climb. At the top of the climb Kev rolled XH558 to 90 degrees, and well beyond!
Apparently the manoeuvre allowed the Vulcan to remain below the low cloud base, but some suggestions have been made that it was an answer to some of the criticisms of a lacklustre display compared to days of old. Whatever the reason, the take off at RIAT is richly deserved of a place in the Top Ten 2009 Airshow moments.
Mr Blue Sky
Whilst The RAF King Air solo display might not have been the noisiest, smokiest, fastest, highest-g-pulling to have performed at RIAT 2009, the Sunday performance was one to be remembered. On that day, many of the previous displays were badly affected by the heavy rain and most of the spectators had hidden under what shelter they could find. The RNZAF 757 had braved the worst of the weather but then something happened that might be described as airshow magic. Flying to "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO - which was absolutely spot on - the clouds parted and the sun shone on Flt. Lt. Leon Creese for that brief point in time.
On a personal level, this moment of 2009 reminded me that airshows are fun and we attend for enjoyment. Hiding under an umbrella for so long, I began to wonder what on earth I was doing, why the hell I was still there - but then for that brief flash, everything was going to be okay. I was at an airshow and the sun had come out again. As well as the emotive side of this part of the top 10, what Flt. Lt. Creese did to display his aircraft - taking off and landing on such a wet runway - shouldn't be underestimated. It all went together to make one unforgettable display!
The once common sight of the RAF's Vulcan force conducting operational training at low level is a spectacle that many people thought would never be seen again, that was until this July when XH558 displayed at the Windermere Airshow.
She arrived from the north and a silence swept through the crowd before she proceeded to prove that the old lady was more than capable of performing low down in the hills. Even her final manoeuvre - the power climb out - had an added twist as the sun gave a brief blast of light off her underside as she cleared the tops of the hills.
The photos that emerged of the Vulcan's seven-minute display amongst the hills of the Lake District couldn't fail to amaze and the sheer 'wow factor' easily won this moment a place in our Top 10.
Sun, Sea and Sensational!
Airshows have their star items which are the "main draw" for enthusiasts and the general public alike. Listing such display items, you'd be hard pressed to get past 5 in total - and that shortlist, would surely include the Red Arrows, and the Vulcan. Separately they draw the crowds in their thousands. Put them together and you'd be able to fill a seaside town to bursting point...
The Dawlish Carnival Air Show pulled off such a coup and it became one of the defining air show moments of the year, if not the past few years. Huge plaudits should go to the group of enthusiasts that organise this air show as well as the skilled pilots that performed it immaculately on the day.
Do you agree with our choices? What do you consider to be the most memorable moments of last season?

An old solution to a new problem? Hydrogen generation by the reaction of ferrosilicon with aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions
posted on 20.01.2016, 16:21 by Paul Brack, Sandie DannSandie Dann, Upul Wijayantha-Kahagala-GamageUpul Wijayantha-Kahagala-Gamage, Simon E. Foster, Paul L. Adcock
The chemical hydrogen storage properties of ferrosilicon were investigated. A hydrogen yield of ~4.75 wt.% (with respect to the mass of ferrosilicon) was estimated by the reaction of varying quantities of ferrosilicon with 5 mL of 40 wt.% sodium hydroxide solution. The reaction of ferrosilicon with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to form hydrogen was found to have an activation energy of 90.5 kJ mol −1 by means of an Arrhenius plot. It was observed that the induction period of the hydrogen generation reaction varies exponentially with temperature. Although this combination of high activation energy and a lengthy induction period at low temperatures reduces the attractiveness of ferrosilicon for portable hydrogen storage applications unless methods can be developed to accelerate the onset and rate of hydrogen generation, its low cost and widespread availability make it attractive for further studies focused on higher temperature stationary applications.

The easy answer to why you should rent in Norwich and not London is the cost; it's much cheaper! But what if you have to work in London, surely the cost of commuting is going to outweigh any savings you make?
Buying an annual season ticket for your train journey from Norwich to London Liverpool Street will cost approximately £9,300, now compare that with the yearly average property rental prices. In London an average property rent is £3235 pcm, in Norwich, an average property rent is £911 pcm, for this monthly amount would get you a two/three bedroom house in Norwich. If you want something cheaper there are plenty of rental properties in Norwich for £550 pcm (per calendar month). In London, it is quite common to pay £2,000 a month for a tiny cramped studio let.
You can clearly see that the cost of an annual train ticket is going to be cheaper than renting in London.
What about the time it takes to commute to London and back? There is that, it takes two hours, but while you're sitting on a train you can do so much, with no distractions.
These days remote working is becoming more popular, and perhaps this could be arrangement you have with your London employer. Many people who leave from Norwich train station to go to work in London are only doing it two to three times a week, the other days they're working from their home in Norwich.
It's not just a cost-cutting exercise, living in Norwich is much better for your health than living in London.
Norwich is a lot less stressful than London, with its many green areas and outdoor spaces, as well as the magnificent River Wensum running through the heart of Norwich, all of which help people living here to relax.
If you still need convincing then listen to what The Sunday Times has to say about the city; "Everything you want from a city, enclosed in a neat, pretty little package". The paper also commends Norwich for its excellent transport links, brilliant pubs, lovely restaurants and its fabulous collection of independent shops.


Last previewed about a week ago in a first batch of photos, the all-new 2017 Outlander Sport Limited Edition from Mitsubishi has been finally presented in Chicago, at the long-expected 2017 Auto Show, the model also coming in new live photos.
Once it will arrive in dealerships in the United States soon after the auto show, this special edition of the standard Outlander will cost $21,995, coming with lots of features at the exterior as well as inside.
Concerning the arrival of the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Limited Edition, Don Swearingen, MMNA Executive VP, has also declared in an official press release that the standard Outlander Sport stands at the very basis of the Limited Edition, the model coming with exquisite highlights that allowed for extra goodies.
"We've now taken that approach one step further by integrating additional standard equipment and technology into the Limited Edition, at a price point that is unprecedented within the broader CUV segment," Swearingen also concluded.
At the exterior, the all-new Outlander Sport Limited Edition will be different from the standard model with the new 18-inch alloy wheels, HID headlights, side mirror casings finished in black, fog lamps, alloy fuel door, as well as the distinctive Limited Edition badging.

Each week, Charity Navigator features a new Top 10 list of highly-rated charities working on a particular cause or issue. With Fourth of July right around the corner, we are using this opportunity to explore some of the highly-rated charities that are working to explore and preserve American history.
Presidential libraries, foundations, and centers are set up to honor the legacy, policies, and principles of their namesake. Today, we're featuring 10 of these organizations that cover a range of historical and political eras. Keep reading to learn more about the great work these organizations are doing to connect Americans with their history.
Founded in 1923, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation maintains Thomas Jefferson's estate, Monticello. The Foundation built, dedicated, and oversees the David M. Rubenstein Visitor center and Carl and Hunter Smith Education Center, the Jefferson Library, and the Saunders-Monticello Trail. Monticello is also home to the Robert Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies and the Thomas Jefferson Center for Historic Plants, both of which serve to create additional learning opportunities for visitors and students. Overall, the Foundation aims to continue to restore the estate allowing it to better tell the stories of all its residents and create opportunities for modern dialogue.
In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt said, "There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country." While in the political arena, he succeeded in making conservation a top-tier issue. Founded in his honor to continue his passion for protecting American habitats, the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership helps create federal policy and funding solutions by uniting partners and amplifying the voices of American sportsmen and women in service of Theodore Roosevelt's conservation legacy.
Inspired by the legacy of Franklin and Eleanor, the Roosevelt Institute reimagines America as it should be: a place where hard work is rewarded, everyone participates, and everyone enjoys a fair share of the collective prosperity. The Institute unites leaders across sectors to redefine the rules that guide our social and economic realities. They rethink and reshape everything from local policy to federal legislation, orienting toward a new economic and political system: one built by many for the good of all.
Harry Truman donated his Presidential papers to the American people to be preserved at the Truman Library. He envisioned the Library as a place where people of all ages could study the American presidency and government.

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation provides financial support, staffing, and creative resources for the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. The Foundation assists the Library in planning and establish long-term goals, and offers resources to enrich its educational programs, expand its research, and enhance its museum experience.
The Richard Nixon Foundation was established after this charge by the President, "I have insisted that the Nixon Library and Birthplace be not a monument to the career of one man, but a place where visitors and scholars will be able to recall the events of the time I served as President, and to measure and weigh the policies my administration pursued…" To further this mission, the Foundation in association with the National Archives provides financial support to collect, preserve, and make available the documents, recordings, and other materials that illuminate the life and times, and historic legacy of Richard Nixon.
The Carter Center, in partnership with Emory University, is guided by a fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering.

Cologne suspends deal to build academy in China
December 18, 2019 GMT

COLOGNE, Germany (AP) — German soccer club Cologne has suspended a deal to build an academy in China, but says it's not cutting all ties with the country.
The head of the club's members' council, Stefan Müller-Römer, welcomed the decision, telling local newspaper the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger that Cologne should not cooperate with a country he said was building a "total surveillance state."
However, the club's management said Wednesday that Müller-Römer was not speaking on the club's behalf and that sporting reasons, not politics, were behind their decision to pull out of the project in the city of Shenyang in north-east China.
"It has to do with the focusing of resource and the setting of priorities, because we would have had to commit personnel to the project too," club president Werner Wolf said in a statement.
"Other possible forms of cooperation, for example sponsorships with Chinese companies, are not affected by this."
He added that the club "stands by its democratic values as well as international dialog."
Cologne was promoted to the Bundesliga last season but is struggling to avoid relegation this campaign. It had previously sought to build links with Chinese teams, including sending academy coaches to run workshops for their Chinese counterparts in 2016.
Cologne's decision to pull out comes at a time when Western sports teams and businesses are increasingly confronted by tough choices related to China's political situation.
Chinese television decided not to air an Arsenal game this weekend after its German midfielder Mesut Özil criticized China's treatment of Uighurs Muslims last week.
Arsenal distanced itself from Özil's comments. The club said the remarks were his personal opinion and that Arsenal does not involve itself in politics.
Some Chinese corporations suspended links with the NBA in October after Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted support for anti-government protesters in Hong Kong, angering fans and officials in China.

The primary criticism about coconut oil is that it is a saturated fat. You are likely familiar with the saturated fats in meat and how too much is bad for your heart.
There's been a lot of new research on coconut oil and despite it being a saturated fat, we are finding that is has some positive health benefits.
A different type of saturated fat (medium-chain) and tends to metabolize quicker and is harder for us to store.
Eliminates disease and lower inflammation.
High smoke point which means you can cook at higher heats than many other polysaturated or monosaturated oils.
My oil of choice when I want to add an earthy flavor to my stir-fry.
A ½ teaspoon in my morning coffee cuts the acidity and provides a nice flavor.
When baking, I used 1:1 in place of butter to deliver a lower cholesterol and vegan muffin.

Add to my bath along with any other oils. Coconut oil is a good skin conditioner and a contributor to a relaxing bath.
Be sure to purchase 100% organic coconut oil. It can get expensive so consider buying in bulk from your healthy food store.

A Virgo-Scorpio Relationship Is One Of The Best And Here's Why
By Kelly Peacock Updated March 7, 2019
Sharon McCutcheon
If you're a Virgo and you think about the ideal pairings for your sign, a Scorpio doesn't necessarily come to mind. Same for a Scorpio – they haven't really thought about a Virgo, I bet.
But let me tell you this: this is one of the strongest pairings because it's so unexpectedly good. The powerful parts of a Scorpio and a Virgo come out when they're together, and in a way, it's like Yin and Yang. The down-to-earth Virgo is attracted to the wild Scorpio, just as the intense Scorpio needs the practical Virgo.
Scorpios and Virgos care a lot.
Scorpios are very trustworthy and believe that trust is the most important thing in a relationship. Though they have a hard time opening up, once they do, they are more than willing to show how intense and amazing their love is.
Virgos will put others' needs before their own and are more than willing to take care of others. In a relationship, they feel as if they aren't giving enough, when in fact, plenty is given, if not more. They want to be wanted and need to be needed and will stand by your side because it makes them feel good.
Scorpios and Virgos feel things very intensely.
Though they might not show it, Scorpios are very emotional beings. They tend to put up a wall to protect themselves and try not to show their emotions. They're afraid of being vulnerable, so they isolate themselves and bottle things up…until someone comes around and proves their worth to knowing what's going on in their head.
Virgos tend to be anxious, sensitive creatures. They are very empathetic and care deeply about everyone and everything so much. When they're sad, they tend to bottle up their feelings for fear of being judged, and then they isolate themselves. They just want alone time to overanalyze and overthink everything that is wrong.
Scorpios and Virgos just want to be in a happy, healthy, and passionate bond with someone.
Scorpios want to be understood just as badly as they want to be in a loving relationship. They want someone to love them through their moments of intensity.
Virgos want stability and security. Words of affirmation = their love language. They want reassurance that they're good enough and that they're appreciated.
The bond between a Scorpio and a Virgo is intense and deep. They are dependable and are loyal to their friends and lovers and to each other. They know that they can learn from one another and that's why this beautifully unexpected pair works so well.

Mímir o Mim es un gigante mitológico escandinavo. Era tío materno de Odín y guardián de las fuentes de la sabiduría, ubicadas en las raíces de Yggdrasil. En su momento negó a Odín beber de dichas fuentes. Odín tuvo que negociar y ofrecerle uno de sus ojos.

Es uno de los dioses fundamentales en la mitología nórdica cuya cabeza fue amputada y mandada a Odín durante la guerra entre los Æsir y los Vanir. Era reconocido por su conocimiento y sabiduría. Odín viajó a la tierra de los gigantes (Jötunheim) para adquirir la sabiduría y el conocimiento omnisciente de Mímir.

El conocimiento fue obtenido al beber del pozo mágico de Mímir, pero como precio por beber de él, Odín fue forzado a sacarse uno de sus ojos. Tras ello volvió a Asgard con la cabeza de Mímir para consultas oraculares de acuerdo a algunas historias. Mímir fue también el consejero de Hœnir después de que se convirtiera en el soberano de los Vanir.

Remember how last month New York Comic Con reported that its ticket sale would change this year? No? Well, ReedPOP has altered the process just a bit, by requiring ticket buyers to complete a Fan Verification profile. Yes, this is similar to CCI's Member ID account. You'll need to do this to participate in the ticket sale - and tomorrow, Monday, 13 June is the deadline. You have until midnight EST.
Maybe you still aren't sure if you even want to go to NYCC. That's fine, but if there's even a tiny percent of a chance that you might want to go, then complete your profile now. It doesn't obligate you in any way and you'll safeguard your eligibility for the ticket sale.
You can read all about their reasons and rules here.


We ventured to Point Pinole on Sunday and spent some time on the beach in the wind. Wind is good for sailing and so we put together a raft and set sail. Sticks, shells and sea glass were the main materials. Duct tape and garden twine (not sure what it's called, really) held it all together.
It was muddy out there and so a pier was built.
Inspiration for this really fun experiment came from Imagine Childhood. Sarah put together a very thoughtful and creative book, in which we have stuck about 100 post-it-notes for projects we want to do this summer. Personally I want to build more boats... that was fun!
Our next Outside Kids adventure will be September 8 at Redwood Regional Park. Or maybe somewhere else, we'll see what the mood is in late August. School will have just started and we'll need to go outdoors. In the meantime, have a great summer!
Neil deGrasse Tyson describes. Who knows what they'll take to, find fascinating, or change their lives forever. All I know is that it's fun to follow them and see the world through their eyes.
