The Aran Islands are one of the most fascinating destinations in all of Ireland, a place with an Old World feel where locals speak Irish Gaelic among themselves. The smallest of the three islands, Inisheer, is also the most peaceful. Few tourists make it here, and with a population of only around 250, it's easy to get to know the locals. Once you arrive, you'll feel as if you're in another time and place.
To get there, you'll take the ferry from Rossaveal via Aran Island Ferries, a little less than an hour's journey from the mainland. As you approach the dock, a sandy white beach edged by crystal clear blue waters comes into view – you won't be blamed for thinking you must be in the Caribbean, but as soon as you dip your toes in, you'll know your in Ireland. While summer temperatures warm the sea, it's certainly not tropical despite its looks.
Keep an eye out for Sandy, a local dolphin that likes to hang out here, and even interact with the ferry as it glides in and out of the pier.
At just two square miles, Inisheer is small enough to easily cover it on foot, though you'll also find bikes for rent and multiple pony and cart drivers that will take you on an old-fashioned ride, clip-clopping along the maze of streets while pointing out the sights for a small fee.
From the eastern shoreline on a clear day, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Cliffs of Moher, as well as a lighthouse and a shipwreck. The "Plassey" as the cargo vessel was called, wrecked here back in the 1960s, and over time, the thrashing waves eventually threw the wreck atop the rocks, well above the high tide mark.
At the north end of the island are some gorgeous sandy beaches that offer summer swimming, and in the clear waters surrounding the island, you can even go diving or snorkeling with the abundant marine life – and, check out the remains of some other old shipwrecks.
Another highlight on Inisheer is the opportunity to stay at South Aran House, a B&B hosted by Enda and Maria Conneely. Rates are remarkably reasonable and include rooms in a comfortable home with heated floors near the water's edge. The Conneelys cook up some of the most sumptuous breakfasts and also serve delicious dinners at their own restaurant just steps down the road at Fisherman's Cottage.

What Constitutes a Sidewalk Defect?
Personal Injury >
2015-08-31 Personal Injury
Uneven slabs of concrete and cracks or gouges in pavement can easily cause trips, falls, and other injuries to pedestrians. These types of injuries often lead to personal injury or premise liability suits against property owners who failed to maintain a reasonably safe walkway. But what constitutes a sidewalk defect, and how can you make a claim based on one stick in court?
What have Pennsylvania Courts said?
Although Pennsylvania Courts have never officially ruled on what constitutes a sidewalk defect, the recent case of Reinoso v. Heritage Warminster SPE LLC has helped to shed light on some of the factors that go into deciding whether a property owner can be held liable for defects in walkways they are responsible for maintaining.
In January of 2015, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania reviewed the appeal of trial court case Reinoso v. Heritage Warminster SPE LLC, in which the trial court decided the property owner (Heritage) could not be held liable for injuries sustained by Reinoso for the following reasons:
While the owner of a property must "exercise reasonable care not to endanger the safety of others," they are "not liable for injuries just because someone using the sidewalk trips, falls, and sustains an injury."
The owner is only liable if there is a clear failure of "duty to maintain its premises in a reasonable safe condition," and if they have "created or permitted to persist, a condition that raises an unreasonable unsafe condition."
The height differential that led to the plaintiff's injury was not considered unreasonably unsafe, therefore Heritage could not be found guilty of negligence.
As you can tell from the court's opinion, and their use of phrases like "reasonable care" and "unreasonable unsafe condition", there is a lot of subjectivity that goes into deciding the outcomes of these cases. After reviewing the court's decision on appeal, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania ruled that, though the original trial court's reasoning was correct, they did not take other important factors presented during the case that supported Reinoso's claim into account, such as:
Conclusions made by Reinoso's engineering expert, that the defect in question was "seriously in excess of the 1/4 inch standard for a tripping danger and constituted a walkway safety hazard", and "the subject condition violated applicable codes and standards."
A tenant within the shopping center had brought the potential tripping hazard to the attention of the management company long before the incident in question took place.
These additional factors, according to the Superior Court, were dismissed in error by the trial court, and the issue of liability was present for a jury to properly determine a ruling. The case was remanded back to the original trial court for further proceedings.
As Reinoso v. Heritage Warminster SPE LLC makes clear, there are no set rules for what constitutes a sidewalk defect. For those injured, it may not be hard to prove that your injuries are due to the defect of a sidewalk or walkway, but it may be difficult to prove negligence on the part of the landowner. The more severe the defect, the easier it will be to hold the landowner responsible. The landowner can also be held accountable if they were previously made aware of a defect, but chose not to fix it.
For the property owner, it is best to inspect sidewalks frequently throughout the year, particularly after a harsh winter where freezing and thawing cause cracks and rises in walkways. The condition does not have to be perfect, but you must take reasonable precautions to make walkways you are responsible for maintaining safe for all pedestrians.
If you have been injured because of a defect in a sidewalk or walkway and you're unsure if you can sue for negligence, contact Georgelis Injury Law Firm, P.C. for expert legal advice.

Are you in need of a translator or an interpreter?
The world is changing, and fast. We can see the evidence of these changes in the world of travel and in particular, with the growing number of people choosing to work, study or live abroad. Whilst ten or twenty years ago, someone moving to another country would have been considered as somewhat of an exception, it is now considered to be normal practice, whether on a temporary or a more permanent basis. This massive life decision not only enables the individual to experience a new way of life, exploring a different culture and grasping a new language, but such an experience can also open doors for new opportunities whether at home or abroad.
Whilst the first thing that you might think about when considering your move abroad, is how to go about learning the language, it is also important to organise the specific documentation that you will need, which will allow you to work, live, study and basically survive abroad. If you are moving to a country which speaks the same language, copies of this documentation may be sufficient, but if you are moving to a country with a different official language, you will more than likely need a certified or Sworn translation of your documentation.
I imagine that you are all aware of what a translation exactly is, but you may not be aware of the process that is involved in translating documents and even less so, in the case of Sworn translations. You probably have a whole list of doubts that you are hoping to resolve, but you don't know where to look. What is a Sworn translation? Can any translator provide a Sworn translation? How much does it cost, and how do the translators decide on the price? How long will it take? The translation profession is a relatively new one, but due to the expansion of the global market, it is one that is growing rapidly.
In Spain, a certified translation is a translation which is carried out by a translator who is authorised by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give legal validity to the translation of the content of a document written in another language. In other words, the translation will be a true and faithful copy of the original document and as such, will have the same validity.
Here at Traductores Oficiales we receive a large variety of official documents that need to be translated by a Sworn or certified translator everyday, the most common types of documents that we receive are academic documents such as degree certificates and academic transcripts, and civil registry documents including marriage and birth certificates. Due to their official nature, these documents must be translated by a Sworn Translator in order for them to maintain the same validity as the original document and in order for them to be accepted by official organisms in the country where this documentation is going to be presented.
When I need a certified translation?
If you are interested in studying abroad, working abroad or even getting married abroad you will definitely need certified translations of your documentation. For example, if you are interested in studying in a country which has a different educational system, it may be necessary to provide certified translations of your academic transcript or even part of the syllabus, in order for the admissions committee to assess whether the studies that you have carried out and the qualifications that you have been awarded, are equivalent to those from that specific university or school.
If you are interested in finding out more about certified translations, or if you would like to request translation or interpretation services, please don't hesitate to contact us, by email, phone or by calling into one of our offices and we will be happy to help you with all your translation needs.

If you wish to understand yourself,
seek yourself in the wideness of the world;
if you wish to understand the world,
seek in the depths of your own mind.
Life ether: cohesion within an object�s course of life
Life ether is characterised by integration and individuality, which means that the observation is focused on that which unifies (integrates) everything while at the same time creating a unique individual. What you're looking for is that which always allows you to recognise an object (a plant, a tree, an animal, a human being, a place, a landscape, a farm, etc.), and you also look for decisive events in the object's course of life. This transcends the previous mode of observation, in that you're now trying to identify the unique aspects of the course of the object's life. Any organism, landscape or farm, anything that is alive, has its own course of life, which results from the impulse such an organism etc. had when it came into existence, and is shaped by its interactions with the specific circumstances of space and time, important events and human intentions. This leads to different, unique outcomes in different places.
Bockemühl calls this mode of observation the context of life or meaning: it is that which links the events in a life; it represents the meaning of a life. If you have studied an object for a long time, you have gradually become familiar with its life story and you can see this reflected in its current appearance. This shows you that you have transcended the 'context of transformation'. You have come to know the object as an individual, though the changes.
You get a feeling for the context of life by studying how the object's present appearance developed from the potential options that were present at the moment it arose. You do this by examining the circumstances of space and time, the important events and human actions. You start to recognise individual lines and patterns. You can translate all of this into an image in your mind, but your will is also intuitively affected, as it becomes clear to you in what direction the development could proceed. You can see the preferred development and you can imagine various scenarios and compare the effects they would have.
Results and examples
The result of this mode of observation is that it tells you how the object came to be what it is now, what its 'biography' looks like. It is not easy to put this into words; you're able to see lines and patterns and to develop an image. You also see lines from the past that indicate what its future development might look like, or you can intuitively indicate how the development could go from here.
If the question that prompted your observations had to do with solving a problem, you can now provide an answer. You know what possible actions you can take and have a realistic idea of their consequences. You can assess whether these would fit into the object's 'biography'.
If you lose sight of a man you used to know well, and you meet him again after 25 years, you may not recognise him at first. You can still imagine his face as it used to be, but it's hard to predict the changes since then. But as soon as you look into his eyes, or when he starts to talk or laugh, or makes a particular gesture, you suddenly recognise him. This means that there are certain aspects that change and others that don't change. If you then get to talk to him, you can understand the changes; they become clear from the circumstances and events in that person's life.
One of the ashes in a windbreak looks poorly developed and has an unusual shape. It is flattened on two sides and its branches are somewhat bent to the east. The tree currently stands in the middle of the windbreak, one half of which is younger than the other. There's another windbreak, at a right angle to this one, at a distance of about 20 m. The unusual tree looks as if it has been pounded by the winds for many years. An inquiry shows that the windbreak in which the ash stands has been planted in two stages; the younger part was planted only seven years ago. In addition, the two separate windbreaks used to be connected up to that time. The unusually shaped tree used to stand on the corner linking the two. When the new part was planted, the two parts of the old windbreak became separated by a gap.
An extensively managed, biodynamic mixed farm, which has developed gradually and has maintained many relations with its neighbours, shows various tendencies indicating a lack of equilibrium: an acidified, heavy clay soil, deteriorating soil structure, sheep suffering from liver fluke, flooded grasslands, a failed attempt at beekeeping. All of these problems indicate an excessive influence of the cold, wet earth pole. It seems a good idea for the further development of the farm to stimulate the warmth and air poles. It is decided to construct paths made of shell clay, dig a pond for the water, create some elevated, dry patches among the grassland and to plant flowering shrubs for the bees (Vereijken, van Gelder & Baars, 1995).

After having described the contexts of phenomena and transformation for an object, you can decide what major events or human intentions have had a decisive influence on the object's current appearance.
Indicate how these are reflected in the object, that is, how the object and its environment relate to each other.
Summarise this in a biographical outline, or in a few key words.
Indicate what its future development might look like.
What types of solutions can you come up with for any problems?
Compare what the object looks like now and what it might ideally look like.
Describe the biographical lines.
How could its development go from here; what solutions do you envisage and what effects would each of them have?
The contexts
Try to describe the difference in attitude between the 'context of phenomena', the 'context of transformation' and the 'context of life'. Can you relate these to the concepts of imagination, inspiration and intuition?


In an ammonia sea on a forgotten and alone planet far, far away from ours, odd silicon molecules are forming together. They eventually start to clump into much larger and complex shapes, and eventually formed life. This life (A small cell which shall be named Vegrandis Ieiunium) was the first life on this planet (Called Matris Locus), except for some bacteria like cells. It drifted past many of these cells, which it did not notice. It bumped into a small particle, something close to a bacterium. It absorbed the thing, and it's hunger (Or something like it) was appeased.

Did you make sure to do all the research so this will make any sense?
Silicon life forms are possible.
Of course they are, yet they operate significantly different than carbon lifeforms, so research is required.

Giovanni Miani (Rovigo 17 March 1810 – Tangasi 21 November 1872) was an Italian explorer. He is known for his explorations of the Nile, where he came close to being the first European to reach its source in Lake Victoria, and for his exploration of the region around the Uele River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Early years (1810–1849)

Giovanni Miani was born on 17 March 1810 in  Rovigo, Veneto, Italy.
His mother was Maddalena Miani, a servant, sister of the architect Giovanni Miani of the Venice Arsenal and aunt of Antonio Miani, commander of the first Italian conquest of Fezzan in 1913.
His father is unknown.
While he was a child his mother obtained service with the noble P. A. Bragadin, leaving Miani with some relatives, where he tried to learn the art of wood carving.
He was reunited with his mother in 1824, and from then on Bragadin ensured that he had a "princely education" in music, letters, languages, dance, science, martial arts and drawing.
Bragadin died on 8 August 1828 and Miani inherited his house and 18,000 Italian lire in a will that the other heirs contested.

Miani's mother died in 1837, and Miani devoted himself to music, which he studied in conservatories in Bologna, Milan, Naples, Paris and Spain.
In 1841 the Austrian police included Miani in their list of people under surveillance for his political views and acquaintances.
Between 1841 and 1843 he wrote the words and music for Un torneo a Tolemaide, a melodrama that was published in Venice in 1843.
In 1844 he published the first issue of Storia universale della musica di tutte le nazioni (General history of the music of all nations).
He spent the next twenty years travelling in search of musical instruments and traditions for use in this project, exhausting his fortune in the process.

Miani  fought for Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian wars of the Risorgimento of 1848–1849.
He moved to Rome at the start of the revolution in 1848, then to the papal division of the Venetian Republic under General Andrea Ferrari (1770–1849), where he became sergeant major in the land artillery and participated in the defense of Marghera and the fort of San Secondo.
In April 1849 he was accused of having defended the fort too weakly and of having conspired against General Amilcare Paulucci (1773–1845).
He was forced to leave Italy.

Wanderings (1849–1859)

Miani moved to Constantinople, where he resumed composing.
He visited Palestine and then spent a year in Cairo where he worked as tutor to the Lucovich family and then as director of some experimental rice plantations while studying archeology and philology.
According to Roberto Battaglia (1958) he was "the first Risorgimento patriot who chose Africa as his land of exile."
Miani returned to Italy and managed to raise 40,000 francs to continue publishing editions of the Storia universale della musica, and visited Paris and London in an unsuccessful attempt to find a publisher for this work.

Once more in Egypt, Miani learned Arabic and became interested in exploring the interior of Africa.
He made several journeys in lower Egypt.
In 1857 he visited Upper Nubia with two young Frenchmen, and drew a map of the region based on his own observations and the accounts of sailors, merchants, hunters and missionaries.
He had the map printed in Paris in 1858 and presented a copy to Napoleon III, along with his project for exploring the Nile basin to find the river's source.
He was admitted to the Société de Géographie of Paris.

First Nile expedition (1859–1860)

Miani was supported by the Eyptian government and the Société de Géographie in his 1859–1860 attempt to locate the source of the Nile.
Napoleon III provided arms and ammunition.
Returning to Egypt on 10 May 1859 Miani left Cairo on two boats accompanied by a navy captain in charge of astronomical research, a photographer, a painter and an Arabic-French translator.
The expedition reached Omdurman, the port of Khartoum, on 20 July 1859.
There Miani met the Maltese merchant Andrea Debono.
He made an excursion to Sennar on a government boat between 20 September 1859 and 7 November 1859 with a company that included his wife and son, Debono and four soldiers.

Miani left Khartoum heading south on 5 December 1859.
He travelled with Debono's company, of which Samuel Baker wrote, "de Bono's people are the worst of the lot, having utterly destroyed the country."
The expedition passed the Santa Croce station of Catholic missionaries in the swamps of the Sudd and reached Gondokoro on 24 January 1860, which had been abandoned by Austrian missionaries.
Miani made an attempt to pass the Makedo falls, then returned to Gondokoro in poor health to recuperate for two months.
He then left by land with a company of 100 men, marching at some distance from the right bank of the river for about .

In one incident related by Miani the soldiers tried to trade a woman they had captured to the chief of a Madi village in exchange for ivory, and also asked for a bag of grain.
The chief refused and told them to leave.
A fight broke out and the king was killed, his hands cut off to remove his bracelets, and his dismembered and castrated body paraded on the soldiers' weapons.
Many villagers fled and others were burned alive after Miani ordered the village to be burned down.
The soldiers took musical instruments and clothing for Miani's collection.

Miani reached Galuffi on 26 March 1860, and engraved his name on a large tamarind tree.
He talked to the local people there, but they did not tell him that the river came from the great lake nearby, and tried to persuade him not to continue.
In poor health, Miani continued south on 29 March 1860, and reached a latitude of 3°32'N, the closest any European had yet come to the source of the Nile.
He was sure it was another month's walk away, when in fact it was only .
The local people were hostile, physical conditions were difficult, his escort refused to go further and he had to turn back.

Miani reached Khartoum on 22 May 1860.
He made two more trips to hunt elephants and use the profits from sale of ivory to fund his exploration.
In July and August he travelled by boat on the Nile and then by camels and dromedaries to Suakin on the Red Sea, where he met the explorer Carlo Piaggia.
He then returned to Cairo.
He had not succeeded in finding the Nile's sources, but had travelled further up the river than any European before.

Europe and Egypt (1860–1872)

Miani returned to Cairo on 24 August 1860, and was laid up for a month while a sore on his foot healed.
He published an account of his journey which was sent to all the European geographical societies, and sent an extract with a sketch map to the Egyptian Foreign Minister, who responded by guaranteeing aid for further exploration in the form of scientific instruments, money and transport.
On 2 December 1860 Miani left Cairo on a steamer bound for Esna, accompanied by an astronomer, an artist and an escort of 150 soldiers.
They reached Aswan on 25 December 1860, and travelling partly by water, partly by land around the cataracts, reached Omdurman, where his expedition fell apart.
He returned to Cairo, and on 6 October 1861 sailed for Europe.

Miani spent several years in Europe participating in geographical debates.
He exhibited his collection in the Palazzo Pretorio in Florence, and in January 1862 published a short report of his travels in Turin.
He went on to Paris and London, then to Venice in August 1862, where he received some compensation for his collection.
On 27 October 1862 Miani proposed to the Venice Chamber of Commerce to set up a deposit of beads and pearls in Khartoum to be traded for local goods, particularly ivory.
In 1863 Miani was welcomed in Vienna by the Austrian Geographic Society and presented to Franz Joseph I of Austria, who offered to finance a new expedition.
However, news that Speke and Grant had discovered the sources of the Nile disrupted these plans.

Miani was given 1,000 florins by Franz Joseph to return to Cairo, where he published a map in January 1864 that attempted to prove (incorrectly) that the river flowing from Lake Victoria was not the Nile but a tributary of the Baḥr el-Ghazāl, and the real sources of the river were further east, near the Patico mountains.
He continued to promote his theories in writings and lectures.
In 1865 Victor Emmanuel made him a knight of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus and promised to help a new expedition.

Miani returned to Cairo, where he was given approval and a steamboat but no other help.
He went to Constantinople, where he was given help in publishing a memoir to Roderick Murchison, president of the Royal Geographical Society of London.
He was 59 when the Khedive Isma'il Pasha named him director of the Zoological Garden of Khartoum.
The position paid 10 soldi a month.
He tried to arrange further income by conducting research for some European museums on a commission basis, working for traders, and undertaking economic investigations for the cities of Trieste and Venice.

Third Nile expedition (1871–1872)

Miani returned to Egypt with an agreement to accompany a trading company in an expedition to the Mangbetu region in search of ivory.
He set out again for the south at the age of 61, although his health was poor.
The expedition left Khartoum on 15 May 1871, but was delayed for three months at Gaba-Shambil at latitude 7°N.
He arrived in Lao in August, where he stayed until mid-September, and was with the Ajar tribe in October, then passed the month of Ramadan at Farial on the Rohl.
From there, he turned south through Mittu country, crossing the zéribas of Nganna, Nyoli, Reggo, Urungana, and in the Luba country the zéribas of Mundu people on the Issu, a tributary of the upper Tonj River.

In January Miani crossed the Congo-Nile Divide and entered the basin of the Uele River, which the local people called the Kibali.
On 1 February 1872 he crossed the Uele between the confluences of the Dungu River in the east and the Duru River upstream of the confluence of the Gada River with the Uele.
In February he reached the zériba of Monfa, where the chief was Kupa, son of Degberra, and where the Ghattas company had a trading post.
Miani was exhausted, and rested in Monfa for two months.
When new resources arrived Miani continued on to Amamba, ruled by Sultan Kuffa, where he obtained food.

Miani left Amamba and on 29 April 1872 crossed the Gada River, a left tributary of the Uele.
On 1 May 1872 he arrived at Nangazizi, the base of chief Mbunza, where he rested until 25 May 1872.
From there the expedition crossed the country of the South Zande people and reached the Mangbetu-Azande border on 27 May 1872.
After passing passed through Abissenga, crossing the sultanate of Mangià, and passing through Angaria, on 3 July 1872 Miani arrived in Bakangoi.
At this point his escort refused to go further.
On his journey from Mbunza to Bakangoi he noted that the streams generally drained north into the Uele River.
The heavy rainfall filled the streams and marshes and made travelling difficult.

Miani stayed at Bakangoi from 3 July 1872 to 16 September 1872.
The sultan was greatly pleased with a present of a looking glass, and told him much about the lands to the south and west.
Based on interviews with the sultan and his subjects he drew a sketch map of the region.
The map shows two lakes where the Congo River crosses the equator.
One lake is called the "Ghango" and the other is not named but said to be the source of the Zaire (Congo) and Ogowai.

On 16 September 1872 the expedition began the return journey.
On 17 September they reached Gandhuo on the Mamopoli, a left tributary of the Poko River.
They left on 20 September and at the end of September reached Bangoi, near the Tele River, where they stayed for the whole month of October.
In the second half of November, walking in short stages, they reached Mbunsa's residence at Tangasi (Nangazizi), south of Niangara, for the second time.
Miani died there on 21 November 1872 from a combination of fatigue, dysentery and necrosis of the arm.
He was buried there, but his tomb was soon dug up again by the local people.
Later Romolo Gessi managed to obtain the bones, which were given to the Italian Geographic Society.

Achievements

Miani was among the first Europeans to reach the Uele region, others being the German botanist and ethnologist Georg August Schweinfurth, who discovered the Uele River in 1870, and Wilhelm Junker (1840–1892), a Russian explorer of German origins, who explored the Bomu-Uele region thoroughly in 1871.
Miani was the first European to mention the Barambu, Makere and Ababua peoples.
He was the first to report the existence to the northwest, beyond the Ababua, of the Abandya, a third group of Zande people, whom Junker met on the lower Uele eight years later.

Miani was the first to note the existence of the Tele, Poko and Makongo tributaries entering the Bomokandi from the south.
He was the first to note that the lower reaches of the Bomokandi flowed north-northwest, so it must be a tributary of the Uele, which therefore had a much greater flow than at the point where Schweinfurth had crossed it in 1870.
This showed that Schweinfurth's hypotheses that the Uele was the upper part of the Chari or Benue must be wrong.
He was the first to report the Bima River crossing the Ababua territory.

In his writings Miani condemned slavery, but he profited from the protection of the merchant's troops and approved of their brutal treatment of the local people.
He implicitly assumed that Europeans were superior to Africans and had the right to take possession of their lands.
His description of the tribes in the Bahr-el-Ghazal area was based on what he had been told rather than personal experience.

Miani collected 1,800 objects on his first Nile expedition, and donated almost all of them to his adopted city of Venice.
The collection was displayed at the Casa dell'Industria in 1862.
In 1866 it was transferred to the Museo Correr, and in 1880 was transferred to the Palazzo Fondaco dei Turchi, now the Museo di Storia Naturale di Venezia.

On his last journey Miani purchased two young Aka people in exchange for a dog and a calf.
They were pygmy peoples who were respectively  and  high.
The crates of material he had collected were brought to Italy after his death, as were the two young Aka men, for exhibition in Europe.
The smaller collection from his last expedition, including both cultural artifacts and human remains, was donated to the Italian Geographical Society.
Later it was transferred to the Pigorini National Museum of Prehistory and Ethnography in Rome.

The sets of the film were vandalised on a couple of occasions and Sanjay Leela Bhansali , the director of the film, was assaulted by a member of a Rajput organisation who believed that the filmmaker was distorting history by misrepresenting facts.
Moreover, looking at Bobby Deol being one of the new entrant, it seems he might be the one to reprise Anil's role in Race 3 . The last outing of the duo was the super hit movie of Sajid Nadiadwala's "Kick" released in the year 2014.
Those who were afflicted ranged in age from 52 to 94. Ten of the 11 ill were hospitalized, and one person died. According to health officials, the person who died in connection to the Disneyland outbreak had additional health issues. The county contacted Disney after it discovered several had gone to the park. Disneyland discovered the contamination last month and has taken the towers out of service for disinfection.
You can check out the awesome reveal trailer down below. Joining the roster list are the Atom , Enchantress, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! The next characters coming to Injustice 2 via the Fighter Pack 3 DLC have finally been revealed and it's safe to say that nobody saw this one coming.

Fall is in full swing and we are all about it at our house. In Southern California have yet to feel the effects of Fall due to extreme heat and drought, but after Made with HAPPY Dad and I's recent trip to Seattle our love of Autumn is back.
While we were there, we were able to breathe in the crisp Autumn air, see all the leaves turning colors, and feel all the Fall feelings we hadn't had a chance to back home. When you think of Fall, what's one activity you think of doing? Well for us, its apple picking. You head out for the day, fill up your basket and bring home a large amount of apples to where you're making all kinds of apple filled dishes. Muffins, pies (of course) and cider. Raise your hand if you're like me and are a sucker for apple cider? YUMMM. In honor of the Autumn Apple Picking, we've created a fun cocktail that whether you're experiencing the leaves turn, you'll be brought right back to a day full of apple picking and enjoying this with your feet up at the end of the day.
First thing is to make the Sweet'N Low Simple Syrup. Sweet'N Low not only makes this cocktail taste delicious, it makes it guilt free and is diabetic friendly. The conversion of Sweet'N Low to sugar is 1/4 cup sugar = 6 packets.
Fill up a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the simple syrup, apple cider, apple brandy, vodka (or bourbon depending on your preference), lemon juice and bitters. Shake it up really good and into the cup it goes. The colder the better on this tasty treat, so if you have your glass chilled, even better. Add a slice of apple, a cinnamon stick and a few sprigs of thyme.
Viola, you have yourself the most delicious cocktail. We hope you enjoy your Fall as much as we are now.

At least six activists have been reported missing within a week.
The space for expression and dissent appears to be increasingly shrinking and shriveling. That notable individuals like Salman Haider, a human rights activist and professor at Fatima Jinnah University, can vanish in broad daylight from the capital is a frightening revelation that people's prominence and profiles can offer no protection or deterrence from the danger and threat of disappearance.
A few weeks back, a small and peaceful demonstration by the Democratic Students Alliance in Lahore, organized in response to the Islam Bachao rally taken out earlier, was stopped and the participants detained at the Racecourse police station for several hours. This crackdown on the peaceful practice of basic constitutional rights and freedoms, along with recent developments, is a grim start to the new year for the country.
Pakistan's civil society is neither ignorant nor impervious to repression. In fact, it has possessed a history riddled with struggles against censorship, suspension of civil liberties, arbitrary arrests, and persecution under the various dictatorial regimes. However, to witness the revival and replication of these measures and instruments during the stint of a democratic government is an alarming, outrageous and deplorable stain on its claims of a democratic character and credentials.
A glance back at the last two or three years also yields a bleak picture associated with a deteriorating situation spanning academic freedoms, press freedoms and civil liberties in the country.
In 2015, a scheduled panel discussion on the "history, complications, human rights abuses, and the struggle for justice that has been going on in Balochistan" at the Lahore University of Management Sciences was forcibly booted and cancelled after 'external' intervention.
In 2016, there occurred the passage of measures such as the Cyber Crime Bill and the move to condemn Cyril Almeida, after much fuss and furore, to the Exit Control List, after his report on civil-military relations.
It is both interesting and worrying to note that discussions within spheres such as a private, often touted as elite, university in an urban provincial capital, and a leading English language newspaper, which were previously considered largely off-limits to state encroachment, now risk subjection to the control of a state, a political, military and intelligence establishment, that seems to be growing increasingly intolerant of any sign of dissent or criticism.
If the disappearances of these activists has been orchestrated in order to stifle criticism of state institutions and policies, it a short-sighted move since, in addition to protests and rallies across cities, the disappearances are being covered by major national and international media outlets and human rights organizations.
Dissent, criticism, difference of opinion, and activism are critical for a living society, and central to a robust democracy. It appears, however, that some state organs or some actors in the country wish to stem these in their myopic drive to steer Pakistan into ruin.
The sudden spurt of blasphemy allegations and accusations of being "anti-Islam" directed at some of the missing activists also poses a perilous situation for them even if they are recovered, since the mere suspicion of blasphemy is enough to continually and permanently endanger an individual's life in Pakistan.
It is still hoped that the activists will be recovered safe and sound, however, even if they return, the climate of fear and intimidation engendered by their disappearances will remain. The message of these disappearances is hard to miss: quieten or be silenced.
The matter of "disappeared" and "missing" persons began in Balochistan, and today it has reached the capital. There is no escape for the state from this, for it is either complicit or it is incompetent. And for the rest of the country, these are ominous signs.
Well I just want to say that this type of incident did not happen for the first time. Unfortunately it is not the last one as well. But I will add that taking a stance on this issue in the electronic media will put you in the limelight and that could be dangerous for you. Searching for the ideal society and that too in Pakistan is a far fetched idea. Grab some Chai and turn a blind eye from most of the the events around you. Life will be much easier then.
Few years back I was thinking in a same manner that one must try to change the soceity and thrive for the social ideals. Now I come to the conclusion that it is not gonna happen. Just live your life in a sublime and lowkey manner and everything will be alright in Pakistan.
Yes, these disappearances in Pakistan are nothing new. And I guess even writing about it has a manifest danger to it after these recent developments.
The mess and chaos in Pakistan is too great for it to be swept away during the lifetime of a single generation, and a mere glance at it is daunting enough for anyone seeking change but nevertheless, I don't think it absolves us from the responsibility of atleast trying to make things slightly better. It is certainly worth a try.
Well I agree with you. Anyway keep on writing and I will continue to read your blogs. I will venture into professional blogging and I want to launch a generic forum pertaining to Pakistan in the coming future. Once the idea and the website will be finalized then I will ask the people around me to be a part of that platoform. If you would be interested then leave me a message or may be I will ask you to write as well. This project is still its in infancy but I hope to kickstart in my free time. So fingers crossed.
Good luck for your project, may it succeed!

Q: C/C++ library for reading MIDI signals from a USB MIDI device I want to write C/C++ programs that take input from a MIDI device.
The MIDI device connects to my PC using a USB connector.
I'm looking for a (C/C++ implemented) library that I can use to read the MIDI signals from the MIDI device through the USB port.
I'm happy manipulating the MIDI data once I get it, I just don't want to have to implement the code for its capture.
I'm planning on writing my code using the Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE on Windows XP.

A: PortMidi is another open source cross-platform MIDI I/O library worth checking out.  On the other hand, if you are working on a sysex type of app, then direct Win32 works easily enough.
Just came across another open source cross-platform framework that includes MIDI support: Juce.
Also, I should note that there isn't anything special about a USB connected MIDI device.  It will still be presented as a MIDI device in Windows and you will use standard MIDI APIs (mmsystem) to communicate with it.
[July 2014] I just came across RtMidi that looks to be a nice, compact, open source cross-platform C++ library.

A: Check out the open source project LMMS. It's a music studio for Linux that includes the ability to use MIDI keyboards with software instruments. If you dig around in source files with 'midi' in the name, you'll probably find what you're looking for.

A: Maybe the Jack source code may help too. It's a sound driver for Posix compatible systems with a lot of possibilities and supports USB and Firewire audio devices.

You are here: Home / Non-fiction / Personal Growth / Born With It: Unleashing Your Greatness by JB Smiley Jr.
Born With It: Unleashing Your Greatness is groundbreaking in its approach to personal empowerment. It boldly states looking outside oneself for the solutions to personal struggle is not the answer. The answer lies within. In this lighthearted, motivational book, JB Smiley Jr. explains that every individual is born with the necessary tools to excel and exceed expectations. Born With It: Unleashing Your Greatness is filled with practical approaches everyone can use as they go through life pursuing their goals.
What inspired me to write this book? The answer is simply really—negativity. It is so pervasive in our society. You see it whenever you watch the news or get on social media. You hear it at work and you hear it in other social settings. It takes a toll on the individuals subjected to it. However, each and every one of us has the power to overcome. I want to motivate and inspire those people who feel limited or weighed down by the negative things they see or experience. I want to encourage them to continue pursuing their goals regardless of their circumstances.
"Focus shares a symbiotic relationship with commitment. Without focus, we cannot be committed, and without commitment, no goal is within reach. To be successful, developing a focus that is shatterproof or strong enough to withstand both the expected and unexpected happenings of life is a must. Remember, if you focus on the road ahead, you are less likely to stumble."
Excerpt from Born With It: Unleashing Your Greatness.

I have taken an interest in gardening of late. The past couple of months I have planted azaleas, hibiscus, and angel wing begonias. I am really enjoying getting my hands dirty.
I USED to be a keen gardener.
Names of flowers I left to my wife But we did have a few... as well as a small but active veg garden. I never tried to be self sufficient.. but some veg are well worth growing. It's a NZ tradition to have a row of Tomato plants each year.. and I did that as well as lots of other stuff. With only two of us left at home.. there is less point and I have not bothered for a few years.
I am just enjoying the fact that I can actually GROW something! When I was younger, I was rather well known for my black thumb. I walked into the Green House at our high school, and KILLED 15 trays of plants. THAT is how bad I was.
I now have a Peach and 2 Red Hibiscus, my elephant ears are HUGE, and my aunt gave me a cutting off of her angel winged begoina, and it is thriving! I am just tickled pink! I guess it must be something I am getting better at with time, and patience.
Next year, I will try veggies. My Pops always said "You can't grow the needed stuff, if you can't keep the pretty stuff alive."

After accelerating to the top of the SGB Premiership table last Monday, the 'Volvo Cars' Poole Pirates have retained that position as they prepare for their next Premiership challenge.
With home defeats for both Somerset and Swindon on Wednesday and Thursday respectively, at the hands of play-off outsiders Belle Vue, the Pirates will head for , Somerset on Monday night looking to extend their two point advantage.
Previously unbeaten at home since Poole won their in October 2017, the Rebels were sprung by Belle Vue who have now given themselves a glimmer of hope of making the final four with the seven point from a possible eight in their last two matches. Appearing in the Aces win at Swindon, Brady Kurtz top scored for the victors with an 11 from 5 return.
The Pirates themselves have collected maximum points from their last four meetings, with three home wins and a four point yield at Leicester which makes them the in-form side in the division currently and that has seen them rise from the basement to hold the initiative.
It will be Poole's third visit of the season to the Oak Tree, having lost heavily in the Knockout cup back in May (52-38) before returing with a point from the league visit in June when they went down 48-42.
It promises to be a crucial week for the Pirates who host Swindon on Wednesday. The Robins currently occupy second place, on level points with Somerset but with a far superior race point differential, two league points behind the Pirates.
Club owner Matt Ford "It's a real luxury to have a two-point lead going into this week – which is absolutely the most important week of our season so far. I have to be honest and say I wasn't expecting either Somerset or Swindon to lose their home matches in the week. It was a real surprise.

It is not known how to best treat an Enzyte overdose. Therefore, treatment (if necessary) will involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For instance, if an overdose caused dehydration due to severe diarrhea, IV fluids may be necessary. If the Enzyte overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may "pump the stomach" or give medications to induce vomiting or to absorb the supplement in the digestive tract.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Enzyte.


In December 1990, I was aboard the first post-war Qantas flight to operate between Australia and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). It was a time of profound change in Vietnam and the beginnings of an economic transformation that has continued since. Here's how the flight came about and why it meant so much.
In the mid 1980s, Vietnamese people might have assumed that four decades of war and poverty would never end. When the US scrambled out of Saigon in April 1975, the country disappeared from international view. But the battle weary Vietnamese faced two more wars in the late 1970s - ending Pol Pot's genocidal reign in Cambodia (from late 1978) and a short violent border war with China (1979).
The post-war period was marked by economic misery too. The damage of decades of war was compounded by failed hardline communist policies and a punishing US trade embargo.
So when the Communist Party Congress convened in December 1986, Vietnam was on the brink of economic collapse, with food shortages, malnutrition and soaring inflation. Vietnam's global benefactor, the Soviet Union, was facing a crisis of its own.
In 2019, it's hard to imagine how bad things were.
The Party Congress responded by adopting major market-oriented reforms known as Doi Moi. They were the first steps towards a process of economic revival, that has placed Vietnam near the top of global economic growth rankings for decades.
The economic reforms also brought a change in the political climate. A new sense of optimism took hold.
For the million-plus Vietnamese around the world who had left in panic as the US backed South Vietnamese government crumbled, or those who had fled poverty and political repression on boats in the late 70s and 80s, the changes were a sign of hope too.
In June 1990 - at the same time these dramatic changes were occurring - I made my first visits to Saigon and Hanoi. I was working with an Australian publisher that produced an investment guide book, - Discover Vietnam - an Investment guide 1990. We were also in the process of setting up the Vietnam Investment Review business newspaper. They were early days.
An Australian Vietnamese entrepreneur was also visiting Saigon and Hanoi in 1990. Nguyen Anh Tuan was hoping to take a punt on operating Qantas charter flights from Sydney and Melbourne for the large Australian Vietnamese community, keen to take advantage of changes in Vietnam. For most, this would be the first opportunity to reunite with family and friends after a long and painful separation.
Tuan succeeded in negotiating permission with Vietnamese authorities to operate what would be the first post-war Qantas flights to Vietnam and a milestone in relations between former enemies.
A former engineer with Air Vietnam before 1975, and a prominent member of Sydney's Vietnamese community, Tuan's dream of running charter flights between Australia and Vietnam became a reality on 22 December 1990. In retrospect, it was an extraordinary accomplishment - especially for a man who had arrived in Australia just fifteen years before with nothing.
I managed to score a gig doing PR for the first flight after meeting Tuan, and then worked with him in the years that followed as his charter business grew.
The flights symbolised Australia's early efforts to build business links with reforming Vietnam. We carried a letter from then Prime Minister Bob Hawke, who also visited Vietnam in those early years. The fact that the charters were initiated by an Australian Vietnamese community leader added to their significance.
In the early 90s Tan Son Nhut airport was a place of rolling heart-wrenching reunions. There was incredible joy. And there was pain. Reunited families couldn't contain their emotion. It was a profound thing to see. Millions of Vietnamese died in the Vietnam War - the American one - and it's estimated than more than 200,000 boat people died at sea trying to escape its aftermath.
Yet for all the tragedy of the past, the overwhelming sentiment in Saigon - that's what everyone still called the city - was optimism.
After touching down, we mixed our time between official meetings and exploring a city I was just getting to know. It may have been more rundown, but the Saigon of 1990 was little changed physically from the one US forces departed in 1975. The welcome we received was incomprehensible given what the country had suffered at the hands of foreigners.
Our hotel was a new arrival. The Saigon Floating Hotel (aka. The Floater) had been shipped up from an unsuccessful stint on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. I penned a couple of press releases about the flight and faxed them to Australia (18USD a page) before getting swept up in the excitement of my first Saigon Christmas.
The streets were packed on Christmas Eve as one of the poorest places on earth - a Buddhist and Communist country - gathered to celebrate. I've since discovered that the Vietnamese love a good celebration - any excuse. These days everything from Halloween to International Women's Day will bring out the crowds. And football victories have brought hundreds of thousands on to the streets as long as I can remember.

There were other things to catch the attention of a wide-eyed mid-twenties Australian - the orchestra performing nightly at Maxim's looked like it hadn't taken a break since the 1970s, and couples danced the cha cha in near complete darkness in the ballroom at the Rex Hotel.
Cyclo drivers, mostly former South Vietnamese soldiers, would invariably be the best English speakers we'd encounter. They were surprisingly outspoken and loved an opportunity to chat.
There was ample evidence of poverty too - beggars, slums, homeless, amputees. Saigon would still shock.
But the energy of the people was the most remarkable thing about Vietnam - bright, optimistic, resilient, keen to engage, and irreverent. It was a captivating cocktail.
After several years, the charter flights became Qantas scheduled services. I moved to Saigon and started a travel company with a mate from school. The US embargo was lifted by Bill Clinton in 1994, and Vietnam's economic development gathered a momentum that has had only minor interruptions across three decades.
Vietnam by the Book is a unique tour I've created focused around 3 books. We use the books to help us explore the stories of Vietnam. We'll see beautiful and historic places, meet amazing people and eat exquisite food. For more, check out Vietnam by the Book from Old Compass Travel.


When your main incentive for replacing your existing front door is to improve home security, we cannot recommend a composite door enough. A composite door frame consists of a number of resilient materials and the meshing together of these materials makes it amazingly strong. Though composite doors have a very similar look to timber doors, they don't need anywhere near the amount of maintenance that a wooden door demands and cleaning a composite door couldn't be simpler.
Our composite doors come in just about every colour possible, so you shouldn't have an issue finding a coloured composite that fits in with the architectural styling of the property. You also needn't ever have a concern again about home security as a composite door has what it takes to keep it out of the clutches of thieves.
