Christie lights up Lavazza Drive-In Film Festival Toronto
NCCC member Christie Digital Systems was pleased to sponsor the Lavazza Drive-In Film Festival co-hosted by the ICFF, presented by IC Savings and CHIN Radio/TV, which took place July 20-31 at Toronto's Ontario Place.
The arts and entertainment industries have been among the hardest hit throughout this pandemic, with many major events and large public gatherings forced to be cancelled this year. The event offered Canadians an opportunity to reintegrate into the social society we once enjoyed, while remaining physically distanced. The international film series ran from July 20th through July 31st, and featured a thoughtfully curated selection of works from some of the countries most affected by the global health crisis. It revamped the classic movie-going experience and transformed it into a contemporary film festival.
A different nation was represented each night at Ontario Place, including France, Spain, China, Russia, the US, the UK, Brazil, India and Canada, with a special "Focus on Italy" series, presented in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura a Toronto. A portion of ticket sales went to the Canadian Red Cross to assist with COVID-19 relief efforts.
Launched in 2012, the ICFF (Italian Contemporary Film Festival) is the largest Italian film festival outside of Italy, celebrating the arts and culture of Italy, with nearly 50,000 attendees annually. Due to COVID-19, the ICFF decided to present the Drive-In Film Festival, an all new international initiative to bring people together, with the annual festival postponed until November 2020.
"The desire to bring people together through the celebration of arts and culture is in our DNA, especially at a time when the world needs it most. For us there is no better way to do this than through cinema, and the best way to watch a movie is with a top-quality Christie projector. We are so pleased to continue our longstanding partnership with Christie, who has been a huge supporter of the ICFF for many years, and we look forward to a successful Drive-In Film Festival!" said ICFF Co-Founder and Artistic Director, Cristiano de Florentiis.
Films were shown using two Christie D4K40-RGB pure laser projectors, showcasing films in rich, vibrant colors and offering guests a premium movie-going experience on a massive 60-foot by 30-foot custom built outdoor screen.
"It's Christie's mission to create the best shared experiences, and we're thrilled to be able to support the Drive-In Festival and ICFF, and bring people together again, safely," said Carmen Robert, senior manager, Global Public Relations, Christie. "We pride ourselves on giving guests the best movie-going experience possible with our projection technology, and we are excited to once again light up a big screen for audiences to enjoy."
Christie partners with film festivals around the world, including the Toronto International Film Festival, an official partner of ICFF, to bring festival goers the best possible cinematic experience.
After the tremendous success in Toronto, the public wanted the experience to be replicated in various cities across the GTA, including Vaughan and Markham.
Six More Portlofts Arrive in Rotterdam's Nassauhaven
21 Jul 2020 14:03 | Anonymous member (Administrator)
The Nassauhaven has changed from an unused harbour basin into a place with water houses and a nature-friendly bank.
Building on the water is the future. Because Rotterdam city is growing, many new homes will be needed in the coming years. The space to build in the city is limited. There is still room on the water. In order to gain experience with building on the water, the municipality has started looking for a developer of sustainable water homes. The Havenlofts in the Nassauhaven, an unused harbour basin, are the result. Rotterdam hopes to give more water homes a place in the future. Other forms of floating construction in Rotterdam are the Floating Pavilion, the Floating Forest, the Aqua Dock and Floating Farm.
Havenlofts: 18 floating homes
The houses go with the tide. Moreover, they are sustainable; they have solar panels and generate heat via a biomass installation. The lofts have their own water purification system, so they do not need to be connected to the sewer system. Another special feature is that the banks regard the Havenlofts as houses (real estate) and are prepared to provide a mortgage on them. The houses were built on a site in Rotterdam-East and transported across the Nieuwe Maas to the Nassauhaven. This year the remaining twelve water homes will be towed into the Nassauhaven in two phases. It is the first street with water dwellings in Rotterdam.
Because of the open connection with the sea, ebb and flow can be felt all the way into the city. In the Nassauhaven, the difference in ebb and flow is between one and a half and two metres. We call this difference 'tide'. The tide has been taken into account in both the construction of the floating houses and the construction of a nature-friendly bank.
A nature-friendly bank
Until recently the banks of the Nassauhaven were straight and hard. There was little room for plants and animals. In order to be able to experience the tide better, the municipality constructed a nature-friendly bank. This bank is adjacent to the existing Nassauhaven park and has been laid out in stages so that plants can grow. The bank provides more variety in animals and plants. And makes the living environment even greener. The development of a tidal bank in a former harbour basin is unique in the Netherlands.
Québec City to become New Centre for Global Maritime and Logistics Innovation
Port of Québec attracts major international organizations including the Port of Rotterdam
The Laurentia Project will become the cornerstone of a new and dynamic global ecosystem for innovation in logistics and maritime transportation technologies. The announcement by the Québec Port Authority of the signing of memorandums of understanding with seven major partners from the maritime, transportation and research world, marks the start of this landmark project. The international partnerships that will be created by these agreements will ensure that the Québec City regional economy will enjoy significant benefits well beyond the core investment of $775 million already planned for the construction of the Québec Container Terminal, the 1,000 sustainable jobs related to the terminal operation, and the estimated $100 million of annual economic impact. It will further ensure that the local region surrounding one of the world's most technologically advanced and environmentally clean container terminals will become an incubator for new technologies, research and scientific exploration. The linking together of Hutchison Ports, the Port of Rotterdam, CN, PortXL, Québec International, Université Laval, Québec City and the new logistics services supply chain associated with the new container terminal will create an exciting launchpad for Québec-based enterprises to reach world markets.
"When we see the quality of the partners who have embarked on this adventure, we understand that this initiative for commercial positioning represents a unique opportunity for Québec City. In addition to hosting some of the greenest and most technologically advanced facilities in the world, Laurentia will generate more than $100 million in economic spinoffs each year for the Greater Québec area."
-Régis Labeaume, Mayor, City of Québec
"In an era in which energy transition and digitization are rapidly and fundamentally changing supply chains for ports, innovation has become a must-have for every port and everyone involved in the port supply chain. By connecting the innovation ecosystems of the ports of Québec and Rotterdam we will create opportunities for both the port of Québec and for Port of Rotterdam."
- René van der Plas, Director, Port of Rotterdam International

Protein Webinar: Many opportunities between the Netherlands and Canada in the Protein Sector
Her Excellency Lisa Helfand, Ambassador of Canada to the Netherlands, and Frank Hart, Board Chair for Protein Industries Canada (PIC), opened the webinar by mentioning the great opportunities that lie ahead when the Netherlands and Canada, two of the largest agricultural exporters in the world, continue to work together to address food security and reduce the global footprint.
Henk Snoeken, Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Vancouver, emphasized the innovative position of the Netherlands which, despite being a small country about the size of Vancouver Island, possesses more than 5000 agrifood companies. The Netherlands is innovative, ranks high in value-added products, has a strong supply chain, and also serves as an important European distribution hub.
Connecting Dutch and Canadian companies
Diederik Beutener, Trade Commissioner at the Embassy of Canada to the Netherlands, discussed how the Embassy can assist Canadian companies in doing business in the Netherlands, and vice versa. He placed special emphasis on the collaboration with the Holland International Distribution Council (HIDC), and the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency, which help companies streamline their logistical processes and solve any practical issues. He also highlighted four different cases that illustrate how Canadian companies have successfully entered the Dutch market and, subsequently, the European market.
Bill Greuel, CEO of Protein Industries Canada (PIC), discussed Canada's vision to be a world leader in plant protein. With 28 million hectares of arable land, Canada is a plant protein powerhouse. It is the largest pulse exporter in the world, the largest producer and exporter of canola, and has world-leading plant science and agricultural capabilities. PIC is in the middle of an ambitious program to transform the industry. Together with industry partners, CAD $300 million will be invested in the next four years.
Jeroen Willemsen, Protein Shift Innovation Manager from The Protein Cluster (TPC) in the Netherlands shared the perspective from the industry. TPC helps companies with innovation in the plant protein sector through the provision of new technology, new ingredients, and new products. TPC contributes to a more sustainable protein production and consumption ecosystem in the Netherlands and abroad.
Partners in Protein Industry
This Protein Webinar underlined the need and opportunities for Dutch and Canadian parties to work together. The Netherlands can contribute to Canada's industry with precision protein and product development, whereas Canada can contribute to the Dutch industry in terms of sourcing and delivering ingredients. Both countries can develop technological plant protein innovations together, and advance the protein sector as a whole.
3D Printed Personal Protective Equipment From Fluevog Shoes
COVID-19 is changing things for all of us and one unexpected way NCCC member Fluevog has been able to contribute is through technology!
The Fluevog Design Studio normally uses 3D printing technologies to prototype new heels and soles for upcoming collections. However when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, thanks to the genius and goodwill of our friends at LNG Studios, we quickly re-tasked our 3D printers to begin producing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for local healthcare workers.
In partnership with LNG Studios and in cooperation with the larger network of companies participating in the BC COVID-19 3D Printing Group, our printers ran continuously for weeks producing parts for the protective face shields that were in low supply at hospitals and clinics. Many hospitals faced dwindling supplies and with orders for extra equipment taking weeks to arrive, the ability to quickly produce parts at a local scale helped bridge the gap. After a few weeks, the needs of the local hospitals were met and the focus shifted to other areas of the country who were hit worse than BC including Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. As production increased, shields were sent to smaller clinics, shelters, and other essential service workers.
Through this initiative, more than 500 face shields and counting have been produced and distributed to hospitals and essential care workers in BC.
"It was amazing to see all these companies and individuals come together to offer whatever help they could and the volume and swiftness of the response was incredible." shares Fluevog 3D Designer Chris Hutchison. "The most rewarding moment for me was walking down my street in Gastown and seeing a health care worker coming out of the women's shelter wearing one of the face shields we produced. It was nice to see it in action!"
To learn more about this project, visit our friends at LNG Studios!

Death toll from Iran mosque attacks rises to 22: TV
TEHRAN: The death toll from twin suicide bombings at a Shiite mosque in heavily Sunni southeast Iran rose to 22, a top provincial official told state television on Friday.
Ali Mohammad Azad, the governor general of Sistan`Baluchestan province, said the number of those wounded also rose to 160.
On Thursday, two suicide bombers blew themselves up at the Jamia mosque in the city of Zahedan, the capital of Sistan`Baluchestan, as worshippers were celebrating the birthday of Imam Hussein, grandson of Prophet Mohammed.
"The two blasts in front of the mosque have left 22 of our dear ones martyred and 160 wounded," Azad said.
He said some of the wounded were in critical condition and the death toll could rise further.
Azad confirmed that both the bombings were carried out by suicide bombers within minutes of each other, in which a number of security personnel were also slain.
Zahedan has been repeatedly hit by attacks blamed on Sunni rebel group Jundallah (Soldiers of God), which plays on feelings of resentment among ethnic Baluchis in the province.
Jundallah says it has been fighting for nearly a decade to secure rights for Sunni Baluchis who form a significant proportion of the population in the province.

Although expensive, if you do require a large amount of storage space, it's hard to go past this drive. Not only does it offer a triple interface, but also dual RAID configurations, making it worth every dollar.
Does anyone remember the humble floppy disk? Back in our day, these little plastic disks held only 1.44MB of data, yet somehow, we got by. In these days of portable mass storage however, it seems that too much space is never enough. Who wants mere gigabytes when you can now have terabytes? Meet the Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo external hard drive - with a whopping 1 Terabyte (1TB) of space available for all your data storage needs.
In case you're wondering, 1TB is 1000 gigabytes (GB) - or nearly 700,000 floppy disks. Just who needs all this space you ask? Well, we see this drive being useful for three kinds of users - those who tend to download heavily, those who want fast secure data backups, or professionals who work extensively with digital video. The drive itself is optimized for this, sporting a USB2.0, Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 connection.
The Turbo isn't one single terabyte drive but actually consists of two 500GB drives, and here is where things get interesting. If you look on the box or read the Maxtor website, you will notice that RAID is mentioned a fair few times. Why is this important? RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) essentially combines different physical drives into one logical unit, and different RAID levels offer different benefits for users.
RAID 0 for example, offers speed benefits, as it splits data evenly across both disks with no redundancy, giving you use of the full 1TB. Due to the performance benefits, this configuration is ideal for video editing. RAID 1 however, offers the protection of a backup. Instead of having 1TB of storage available, you will have 500GB - but whatever is on one 500GB drive will be 'mirrored' on the other. That way, if one drive fails, you have the peace of mind of knowing your data is still securely backed up on the other. The key selling point of the Turbo is that it supports both RAID 0 and RAID 1, allowing you to either maximise the storage space or automatically backup your data.
The Turbo is a rather bland, boxy looking unit and rather heavy as well, clocking in at just under 2.5kg. This is definitely one piece of 'portable' storage that will be sitting on your desk, rather than carried around. The Turbo is styled much the same way as the OneTouch III, with a rubberized outer layer and white backlit backup button. What impressed us about this drive was its relative quietness and the fact it didn't get noticeably warm during operation.
The Turbo uses the same OneTouch Manager software that ships with the OneTouch III. This applications allows you to customize the performance settings, power settings, security options and for this drive, the RAID settings as well. When you purchase the drive, the default setting is RAID 0. To convert to RAID 1 took us around five minutes and this included both converting and formatting the drive. We ran HD Tach tests on both RAID settings and found the results were as expected, but not as different as we thought. Read times were faster with RAID 0 settings, but not overly so. This is good news for RAID 1 users, as this configuration doesn't seem to tax performance too negatively.
In addition to the customization options, the OneTouch Manager allows for folder synchronization, rollback and restore points. For scheduling more complex backups, Maxtor has included Dantz Retrospect HD 1.1, and this allows you to either simply duplicate files or create restore points. The Maxtor DriveLock function allows you to password protect your drive, providing a further level of security.


Furnished adapted two-bedroom apartment, 98sqm, on the first floor of a private house- FOR RENT. The apartment is located in the immediate vicinity of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Maria Mikulic Street. The apartment is located in a quiet part of town in the settlement Koševsko Brdo. A few minutes walk away is the bus station that makes future ferries easier to transport to the city. Not far from the apartment there are facilities necessary for everyday life (pharmacy, bank, supermarket, barnacle, catering facilities etc.) It is important to note that a common parking lot extends across the street and makes it easier for future rental companies to use the car.
The apartment was adapted in 2016 when the owner replaced the interior and exterior joinery, built the floorboards and ceramic and set up a new kitchen.
The apartment contains a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen combined with a dining room, a bathroom, a balcony and a hallway.
The apartment is located in the street Marija Mikulić near the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.


Since losing their first game of the year to Catholic University(61-54), the tide seems to have turned for the Johns Hopkins Women Basketball team with four consecutive victories at the Centennial conference. It started with a comprehensive (39-68) home win over Ursinus, followed by an away victory against Bryn Mawr (75-42). The next two victories came at the Goldfarb Gym against Haverford and Washington college (58-62) and (52-70) respectively.
This rich vein of form has been down to the players stepping up their game, most notably the likes of Sophia Way, Lexie Scholtz, Elise moore and Madison Mcgrath who have put in very impressive performances leading to those wins. Looking closely at the matches the blue jays have lost, they have always managed to finish the game strongly. Their poor start to games has been their weak point as seen in the last two matches they lost against Randolph Macon and Catholic.
In the last four games however, there has been a significant change in their start to the games in them showing a strong start which has led them to winning four in a row.
This weekend , the Blue Jays will be having an appointment against Muhlenberg at Allentown, PA. It is going to be a difficult game for the Blue Jays. Earlier in the season, the Blue Jays lost at Goldfarb Gym (69-64). To make it five straight wins will be a difficult task for Johns Hopkins Women Basketball team despite their good form.
The Muhlenberg women basketball team has played four games this year and have lost only one of those games against Gettysberg. In fact, that is the only game they have lost all season. Their current record stands at 14-1 (overall), .933(PCT) and are 9-1 in the conference. The Blue Jays on the other hand have a current record of 9-6 (overall), .600(PCT) and are 8-2 in the conference. From the statistics, Muhlenberg has a greater chance of winning, but you cannot rule out the chances of the Blue Jays especially with their current streak of four wins.

The Best Places To Find Lyrics On The Web
Posted by Larry Ferlazzo | Nov 23, 2009 | best of the year, music and art, teacher resources | 16 |
Singing songs is a great way to help English Language Learners get past their understandable reluctance to speak in a new language, and a good vocabulary-building activity. In addition, you can create clozes (fill-in-the-gaps) with the lyrics, use them to teach grammar, and have students use the real lyrics as models while they write their own.
It's easy always been easy to find lyrics on the Internet, though often there are inaccuracies and so many lyrics sites have tons of annoying pop-up ads. I thought I'd create a "The Best…" list that shares places where there appear to be correct lyrics and no pop-ups.
You might also be interested in these other "The Best…" lists:

The Best Online Karaoke Sites For English Language Learners
Here are my choices for The Best Places To Find Lyrics On The Web:
Lyrster is a search engine that appears to search only collections of lyrics to songs. Just type in a few words and your results show links to the complete lyrics. It performed quite well in my tests. The sites it searches include some, but I don't believe all, of the other sites on this list.
Lyrics Fly is one of the best sites out there for finding song lyrics. You can also use it to find music audio and videos, but I'm primarily interested in the lyrics. The Make Use Of blog calls it "lyric search on steroids."

Lyreach is a new site that helps you find the full lyrics to a song by just typing in a few of the words your remember.
Listen Music is a new web application that allows access to many, many songs. One nice feature is that you can also get the lyrics easily & quickly.
Batlyrics is a new site that looks like a great place to quickly and easily find song lyrics.
Instalyrics is a new site that shows you the lyrics to any song very, very quickly, along with a music video that goes along with it. The lay-out is very "clean" and it replaces Batlyrics as my favorite place for music videos and lyrics.
LyricsNMusic is a nice site that lets you easily search for lyrics and you can a very clean and accessible copy. It also finds music videos of the song. What I particularly like about it, though, is that is shows the lyrics at the top and the video at the bottom, so you can play the music and show the lyrics without students getting distracted by the video. Other sites show the lyrics right next to the video.
Google Starts Showing Song Lyrics In Search Results – Not As Good As It Sounds
I'd certainly be interested in hearing other suggestions, so please feel free to leave them in the comments section.

I've gotten the help of the girls there and it is a full directory of many Korean songs translated into English….

Maybe others overseas could chime in with sites of a similar vein for their own countries, with song lyrics translated into English.

Renton considers vacating Red Lion Hotel sheltering 200 homeless people
The City of Renton and King County are at odds over how to handle the Red Lion Hotel, which currently houses more than 200 homeless people.
Author: Perrise Thomas (KING 5)
Published: 10:29 PM PST November 24, 2020
Updated: 8:01 AM PST November 25, 2020
Renton city leaders are considering a plan that would force more than 200 homeless people to move elsewhere. The city council is mulling a six-month plan to vacate a hotel-turned-shelter.
This comes amid disagreements between officials and leaders at the Red Lion Hotel over the hotel's operation and number of homeless occupants.
"They moved about 230 homeless individuals of downtown Seattle into a thriving business district in the center of Renton," said Chip Vincent, administrator for Renton's Community & Economic Development department.
He added that there have been several concerns brought to the city by leaders and residents about the recent influx of homeless tenants and how it could affect the city in the future. There have been a number of ordinances proposed to head off any possible issues.
"This is being very humane, but recognizing that these types of facilities have a surrounding impact on the neighborhoods in which they're located," Vincent said.
The Red Lion Hotel and Conference Center in Renton was turned into a homeless shelter in April, shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. King County officials said hundreds of homeless people were relocated from the Morrison Hotel Shelter in Seattle. At last check, 11,751 people were experiencing homelessness countywide.
King County officials released a statement, saying in part: "The County has been in conversations with city staff since May 2020 about the need to establish facilities to address COVID-19, yet it was just last week that we learned that the city was considering an ordinance. This short notice period leaves the County, and other stakeholders, without an adequate opportunity to participate in the process of developing this legislation."
Renton officials insist they are not trying to kick the homeless out, but they simply want the guidelines to be clear.
"More than anything else, it's really a clarification of our rules given the issues and challenges we've faced with the Red Lion," Vincent said.
So far, King County and the city of Renton haven't been able to agree on terms regarding the space. As a result, King County was issued a violation, which they appealed. The case is now in court.
The homeless occupants would not be kicked out this year. If a removal ordinance is passed, the new date would be June 1.

NEW STEPS ALL AROUND
SHINGLING THE NORTH FACE
In theory, the north side of Comstock House should have been easier to shingle than the south. Yes, more shingles would be required because there's more square footage to cover; there's no chimney or porch cut-out to break up the wall on this side. But that also would mean, in theory, that the project should go faster because there would be less time-consuming work on chimney flashing and trimming all those end shingles into custom shapes to fit. It looked like a more straightforward job overall. In theory.
(RIGHT: Jim Scotchler unwraps the third of three shingle palettes that have been used to date. Each palette contains 13 squares, and each square is intended to cover 100 square feet. Actual coverage is less due to defects - shingles too narrow or uneven - and because we are strictly using the old standards where there is only 4½ inches of shingle exposed)
Before any work could begin, we had to evict our squatters. Honeybees had lived in a portion of the north wall for as long as forty years, and getting rid of them required tearing open the sheathing. We moved our scaffolding from the south side of the house to the corner with the bees, and made a date with beekeeper and "structural extraction" expert Coral Pawka to round 'em up and move 'em out. The tale of this adventure is told in a previous post (don't miss the video).
The other major obstacle was reaching the peak and upper section of the northwest corner. There's a three-foot bump-out for the kitchen, making it impossible to erect the usual scaffolding up against the house. This corner also has the electrical service, so there were also safety concerns about having a scaffold near the lines. We contacted Marshall Scaffolding in Santa Rosa and arranged for them to set it up, and their solution was ingenious. A traditional scaffold remained on the east side and on the west, sections were built up both from the ground and from the roof over the kitchen. Planks bridged over the twin scaffolds. A photo can be seen at the end of this post; every part of the structure was absolutely rock-solid, even at the very top. My highest recommendation goes to these good folks. But like the removal of the bees, this was essentially a separate construction project from the work at hand.
We have some concerns that the bees may try to return to the location of their old home in the spring, even though all the honeycomb is gone (we hope), their former residence between wall studs is now packed with insulation, and every possible entrance way is sealed (we hope). We likewise expect that the new shingles will deter the woodpecker that did so much damage over the windows in the servant's bedroom and attic.
The real estate agent told us that a servant had died in that bedroom (VERY doubtful) and hinted that some thought it haunted. Then a few weeks after we moved in I heard a knocking coming from there; assuming it was a plumber or someone working on the house, I checked outside. No one around. The same thing happened shortly thereafter, and confess that I was now mildly spooked. Finally I caught our "ghost" in the act; instead of the furious rat-a-tat-tat I associate with Woody Woodpeckers, this fellow makes a few pecks that sound like knocking or hammering, then peeps into the hole to see if there's anything for eats. Before the reshingling I kept a big aluminum skillet in the attic, and whammed it against the wall whenever I heard the "ghost," which seemed to exorcise it for a couple of days.

President Jokowi Praises Anti-Hoaxes Declaration
President Jokowi answers reporters' questions after attending the 73rd Anniversary of Muslimat NU and mass prayer for the safety of the nation and state, at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Central Jakarta, Sunday (27/1). (Photo by: Rahmat/Public Relations).
President Joko Jokowi Widodo expressed appreciation for the Anti Hoax Declaration delivered by members of the Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) at the 73rd Anniversary of Muslimat NU and mass prayer for the safety of the nation and state at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Central Jakarta, Sunday (27/1).
"This is a great movement for our country," President Jokowi said, adding that the movement is a response due to rampant hoaxes in the country
Previously, the President said that the Muslimat NU is a large organization, proven by the attendance of its members who filled the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
"We need moderate Islam to be echoed, just like what Mrs. Khofifah said, that Islam is full of tolerance and mutual respect. That is the spirit conveyed by Muslimat NU," President Jokowi said.
In the meantime, Chairperson of the Muslimat NU Khofifah Indar Parawansa expressed her gratitude to President Jokowi for his response to the Anti Hoaxes Declaration. "We have anti-hoaxes, anti-slander, and anti-gossip (ghibah) declarations. If the anti-hoaxes sanction is regulated in the ITE Law, anti-gossip will have spiritual sanctions," Khofifah said.
Khofifah added that the Muslimat NU hopes that all elements of society will build themselves productively, have a constructive and positive mindset to promote Indonesia to the next level. (EN/RAH/ES)

Where Can I Buy Window Air Conditioners?
Window air conditioners are never something that are just bought on a whim. We all know this. All of us, or most of us, do not buy these products until it is in the dead of summer and the heat is at it's hottest. To top it off our central air conditioner is probably broken or we're living in an apartment with no central air. You've tried and tried to put off spending the money on a new window air conditioner but enough is enough. You are ready to buy one and enjoy that sweet sweet cool air but where should you go? Where can you buy these products?
Well folks the obvious answer is nearly everywhere nowadays. Sure, your basic stores like Target or Wal-Mart most likely aren't going to carry them. But, if you head to a Lowes or Home Depot store you are sure to find them in stock and ready to go. (Especially if you are buying in the summer season.) The problem when shopping in person like this at one of these retail stores is that your choice and more importantly, your knowledge, is limited. Think about it. When you walk into a store you are already limiting yourself to what brands and products that they have on their shelf. You can't read any reviews. You don't know what products are better than others. Worst of all though is that you can't price shop. You are stuck with what they have there.
Sure, you could whip out your phone and look online for some comparison shopping but you are at the store already and scrolling through pages and pages of information on your phone is never fun. I get so frustrated when having to use my phone for extended periods of time, especially trying to do research. I don't know about you but I am a desktop guy. Everything is so much easier.
Now here's the thing. If you can stomach it. If you can stomach going another few days without air conditioning then I highly recommend that you at least do your research online. As an example, if we look at our partner Amazon.com's website's selection of window air conditioners by clicking here we can begin to see the value that is added. We get reviews. We get all different product brands. We get all different BTU sizes. My favorite feature, especially with products like this, is that there is a customer question section as well. These are questions asked by other customers either before they purchased or after they purchased. More often then not if you had a question about a window unit it has already been asked and answered!
All of these features give you the ammunition and knowledge on what to look for when purchasing a new unit. Now the only downside that I can see here when purchasing from Amazon.com is that you don't get that instant gratification feeling when buying a unit at a retail outlet. If you buy a window air conditioner at Home Depot you can take it home, install it, plug it in, and enjoy cool air all within about an hour of getting home. If you buy online then you may have to wait a couple days, maybe more. The choice is ultimately up to you. Will you sweat it out and wait for it to come in the mail or will you go to the store and heave one off the shelf?
If you are serious about buying a new window air conditioner then I would highly recommend checking out our Window Air Conditioner Buyer's Guide that can be found by clicking here. Starting out you may know that you just want to get cool and escape from the heat but once you really start looking at the different window air conditioners out there you will most likely begin to feel overwhelmed. There are so many choices and varieties out there. How do you know that you will get the right one?
If you buy the wrong sized unit you could end up with your air conditioner running constantly trying to cool too big of a room. This will cause your energy bills to shoot up month to month. On the other side of the coin if you purchase a window unit that is much bigger than the room you need it for then your air conditioner is going to have difficulty extracting the humidity from the air as well as evenly distributing the cooler air. The end result will be hot and cool spots throughout the room. That isn't even mentioning the increased monthly cost to run a much larger machine then you needed in the first place. This will leave you feeling frustrated due to the hot and cool spots as well as paying more money per month then you should be. The sizing of your window air conditioner is a sweet spot and you have to get it just right.
I know how it feels to be trapped in the heat of a summer sun. We get a lot of that here in Kansas, trust me. Just as I am nice and cool here in the middle of February as I write this article, I want you to be nice and cool when the hot rays of the summer's sun come down.


A couple weeks ago I decided to take a jump into the 21st century and upgrade to my first ever smartphone. The decision was strictly motivated by work - being able to receive emails on a handheld device would make it so I could spend time away from the office without the twang of overachiever's guilt that comes from being out of contact for sometimes five to seven hours at a time. Despite my new powerful toy, I still have no desire to have instant access to my precious facebook status updates and tweets and live-blogs 24/7.
I agonized long and hard about which phone to buy. In the end, I decided to go with the Droid Incredible, manufactured by HTC exclusively for Verizon Wireless. For a while there I lusted after the iPhone, along with everyone else in America. I had fun playing with the ones owned by my friends and family, and part of me wanted to be part of a cultural phenomenon that has techies around the globe hanging on every software update or new announcement or breaking story. But I was already signed up with Verizon, and I didn't want to get involved with a business partnership that has caused so much stress to so many people in high places unless absolutely necessary.
So now here I am, reading emails on the fly, texting on my full touchscreen, snapping pictures (and recording video) with my 8 megapixel camera, and downloading apps like there's no tomorrow. But has having a smartphone really changed my life that much? Is it worth it to have a device so limitlessly capable in the palm of my hand? Read on to find out what I really think.
I must admit, when I first picked up this thing, I felt some acute iPhone envy. Although I never owned one, I was comfortable enough with the interface to see that this phone I had was new and different. And so I did the first thing that I normally do when confronted with something new and different: I panicked.
But then what's up with these four icon buttons, right below the touchscreen: one shaped like a house, one that says "menu", one with an arrow facing left, and one that looks like a magnifying glass. There are just so many buttons.... Hasn't HTC learned anything about slickness and simplicity from their competition?
I'm still not totally fluent, but once I got used to the new interface, I started to calm down a bit. I found that it was a little bit like picking up a Super Nintendo controller for the first time after a childhood of playing Sega Genesis. Everything's set up a little bit differently, but the functionality is generally the same. So much the same, in fact, that it prompted some legal drama earlier this year.
Aside from the buttons, the main aesthetic difference between the iOS and the Android system that I've noticed is the arrangement of the home screen(s). On Android, apps show up much the same way as they do on the iPhone, but there's also the option of adding Widgets to your home screen. So where a standard app takes up one "block" of space, the Google search widget takes up four blocks - an entire row. The weather/clock widget (pictured above) takes up eight blocks - a full half your screen. The calculator widget takes up 16 blocks - the entire size of your home screen.
What's the point of these huge widgets? you might ask. With a calculator so large, there's no room for my messages, emails, or maps apps. That's why Android provides you with not one, but seven convenient home screens, each one fully customizable with apps and/or widgets.
The selection of apps/widgets that already come with the phone is a little bit overwhelming - but thankfully you don't have to find a place on one of your home screens for all the apps you want to use. There's a menu where you can access all apps on your phone (including some duplicates, like when both Verizon and HTC offer separate apps for music, calendar, news, etc.). Looking at these cluttered menus, it again becomes clear that smoothness and user-friendliness do not appear to be at the top of Android's list.
Apparently at the top of the list is Internet browsing, which the phone handles very well. What it doesn't seem to handle very well is email. The interface is fine: the auto-correct is very easy to navigate and there are less cutesy rounded edges than the iPhone interface. But I never get notifications for new emails - they don't even show up unless I open up the app and manually hit refresh. I don't know if that's a problem with my service or my mail client or the fact that any piece of technology I try to use doesn't ever seem to work the way it's supposed to. But it sure beats having to open up my laptop every time I want to check emails.
The big home run has to be the ringtone editor. Honestly, the thing that made me most excited about having a smartphone, even more than emails, was being able to customize ringtones for all my most-used contacts. The Droid makes it really easy: just pick a song from your music app, hit the "menu" button, choose "set as ringtone" and you can trim it on the fly to whatever selection you want. For the iPhone I remember some complicated process of trimming it in iTunes and adding a loop feature and then uploading it.
I hear there's a ringtone editor app that you can download for your iPhone that does what Droid's does. But then again I'm sure there's an app you can download for either system that can do pretty much anything you could ask it to (within reason). The possibilities are quite literally endless (as long as people keep developing new apps). I won't possibly come close to exploring even a miniscule fraction of these possibilities, nor would I want to. So far having access to these new features has changed my life, but I plan to resist having these capabilities take over my life.


Elliptical Orbit: An orbit that is similar to a polar orbit in that the spacecraft moves in a North-South direction.
The orbit is also similar to a HEO orbit because of the path of the spacecraft.
An orbit that is not larger than 2,000 kilometers from the surface of the Earth.
In the case of an open orbit, the speed at any position of the orbit is at least the escape velocity for that position, in the case of a closed orbit, always less.
The apogees are near the northern extremity of the orbits.
The Borealis elliptical orbits concentrate satellite coverage from the equator to the North-effectively tailoring capacity to northern latitudes where demand is greatest.
The elliptical orbits concentrate capacity where it is needed, require less launch energy than comparable circular orbits, and allow batteries to recharge south of the equator, when the satellites are "quiet".
Orbit is commonly used in connection with natural bodies (planets, moons, etc.) and is often associated with paths that are more or less indefinitely extended or of a repetitive character, like the orbit of the Moon around the Earth.
The parabolic orbit is the Borderline case between open and closed orbits and therefore identifies the border line condition between space vehicles that are tied to paths (elliptical) in the general vicinity of their parent planet and those that can take up paths (hyperbolic) extending to regions remote from their parent planet.
The elliptical orbits generated by velocities below escape velocity are the type followed by artificial satellites, as well as by all the planets and moons of the solar system.
Kepler's Third Law implies that the period for a planet to orbit the Sun increases rapidly with the radius of its orbit.
As an example of using Kepler's 3rd Law, let's calculate the "radius" of the orbit of Mars (that is, the length of the semi-major axis of the orbit) from the orbital period.
A satellite in elliptical orbit follows an oval-shaped path.
One part of the orbit is closest to the center of Earth (perigee) and the other part is farthest away (apogee).
So communications satellites in elliptical orbits cover the areas in the high northern and southern hemispheres that are not covered by GEO satellites.
The location of the greatest distance between the orbiting body and the central body when the orbit is an ellipse.
When the mass of an orbiting body is small enough to ignore, the same value of K can be used for all small objects orbiting around the same central body.
In 1684 Wren, Hooke and Halley discussed, at the Royal Society, whether the elliptical shape of planetary orbits was a consequence of an inverse square law of force depending on the distance from the Sun.
When he computed the orbits for three comets which had appeared in 1537, 1607 and one Halley observed himself in 1682, he found that the characteristics of the orbits were almost identical.
The elliptical orbit was computed by Lexell who correctly realised that the small elliptical orbit had been produced by perturbations by Jupiter.
Superperiodic elliptical transfer orbits can be either prograde or retrograde, and they provide the spaceship pilot with more opportunities to find a transfer orbit, however at the expense of greatly increasing the transit time (always by a whole multiple of the transfer orbit's period).
The velocity in orbit is alway less than that needed to escape from the central object.
These orbits are useful in describing two objects that pass by each other but are not 'captured' one by the other.
are elliptical or that the force is the inverse square of distance to the Sun.
represents elliptical orbits and the inverse square relationship of force and distance.
situated at the center of the elliptical orbit, such as for a mass on a spring.
Planets that orbit both binary suns do so in a figure 8, pulling toward the second binary at the juncture where the planet is positioned between the binaries, but propelled by momentum to continue its orbital curve while moving toward the second binary.
Rushing to an attraction causes the orbit to draw long at that point, a factor of momentum on the orbiting planet, which is an influence toward an elliptical orbit.
Where no apparent gravitational giant exists to explain the elliptical orbit, particle flows other than gravity are the dominant influence on the shape of the orbit.
Your new orbit must go through your new position (close to your old one) while the average distance from the earth is increased- obviously that can't be a circle.
Elliptical orbits are the general rule (for bound orbits, that is).
Orbits with an inverse-square law force also have the property that they are closed - the orbit passes through it's starting point.
The smallest orbit, that of Mercury, was the innermost sphere.
To emphasize his theory, Kepler envisaged an impressive model of the universe which shows a cube, inside a sphere, with a tetrahedron inscribed in it; another sphere inside it with a dodecahedron inscribed; a sphere with an icosahedron inscribed inside; and finally a sphere with an octahedron inscribed.
To his disappointment, Kepler's attempts to fix the orbits of the planets within a set of polyhedrons never worked out, but it is a testimony to his integrity as a scientist that when the evidence mounted against the cherished theory he worked so hard to prove, he abandoned it.
Establish the orbit and its parameters for the flight of the space probe from Earth to Jupiter.
Determine the hyperbolic orbit of the probe near Jupiter.
Tisserand's Criteria is a requirement that conservation of energy and momentum hold during the flyby of a Planet.
If the math of orbits was worked out centuries ago, based on what they knew and had observed, then this same math must be applied.
If all you have seen are objects looping far out in their orbits around a single foci, then this is all there is? It's a fact that most suns are binaries, and some so close at to give the appearance of barely keeping each other at arms length.
Clearly, some of the new highly elliptical orbits recently discovered by your fellows show that orbiting bodies, much larger than dirty snowballs, are influenced by SOMETHING out there pulling on them.
A space vehicle's orbit may be determined from the position and the velocity of the vehicle at the beginning of its free flight.
) is a nondimensional parameter of the orbit.
When transferring from a smaller orbit to a larger orbit, the change in velocity is applied in the direction of motion; when transferring from a larger orbit to a smaller, the change of velocity is opposite to the direction of motion.
The situation where the Sun, for instance, would be exactly in the center of a perfectly circular planetary orbit couldn't happen in our Solar System since there are other planets that would gravitationally affect the orbit and cause it to be immediately non-circular by pulling the object to one side or the other.
While the familiar objects are in elliptical orbits, there are a lot of objects that fall into the Sun on a spiral path.
The elliptical orbit idea was so simple while neatly explaining and predicting planetary motion extremely well that it was seen as a fundamental revolution in scientific thinking.
The Radio Regulations define GSO as "the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite whose circular and direct orbit lies in the plane of the Earth's equator".
However, for the efficient use of orbit spectrum, a relatively small number (less than 10) should be taken to estimate the aggregate interference to terrestrial systems with a given pfd mask.
The period of the orbit is a multiple of that of the geostationary-satellite orbit.
1.The orbits are not circles: The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
We can relate the periods of the planets' orbits to the sizes of their orbits: The square of the sidereal period, in years, equals the cube of the semi-major axis, in AU.
So in what follows we assume that the orbits of the planets are, for all practical purposes, perfect circles even though we know this is not exactly true.
Simulating orbit by using small incremental steps is not an option, I need a function where I can input time, and get the current position.
However for closed and stable orbits its possible to analytically determine the orbiting objects position and velocity at any time given its position and velocity at any other time.
Planet orbits have small eccentricities (nearly circular orbits) which is why astronomers before Kepler thought the orbits were exactly circular.
Most comet orbits have large eccentricities (some are so eccentric that the aphelion is around 100,000 AU while the perihelion is less than 1 AU!).
As the eccentricity increases, the Sun's position is closer to one side of the elliptical orbit, but the semi-major axis remains the same.
The star-hugging orbit of the 51 Pegasi planet and the eccentric orbit of the 70 Virginis planet shook our myopic, heliocentric expectation that planetary systems would be nearly identical to ours.
Comets were gravitationally flung into their present-day elliptical orbits when they ventured too close to planets, in much the same way spacecraft receive gravitational assists from planets.
The predominance of elliptical orbits implies that planetary systems with circular orbits may be the exception rather than the norm.
The discovery that gravity must cause elliptical orbits for any two-body system was one of Newton's greatest discoveries.
Thus the planet orbits the Sun in an ellipse where the Sun is a focus of the ellipse.
The ECLIPTIC ANGLE is the angle inclination of the plane of the orbit from ecliptic plane (i.e., the plane of the Earth's orbit).
Orbits are categorized by altitude, inclination and eccentricity.
A low Earth equatorial orbit would cover a belt around the equator, whereas a polar orbit would cover a belt around the pole orthogonal to the equator, thus covering the full Earth due to the Earth's west east motion beneath.
Eccentricity of an orbit determines the shape of the orbit.
While focusing on planetary orbits, he became interested in trying to create a model that would explain how the planets moved, yet also verify Tycho Brahe's observational data.
Kepler began his investigation with the orbit of Mars, which is the most eccentric and which exhibits the most retrograde motion.
An elliptical orbit deviated from the geometrical perfection of the circle, and because Kepler at heart believed that God was a divine geometer, ellipses seemed a little messy for the heavens.
In retrospect, the reason that the orbit of Mars was particularly difficult was that Copernicus had correctly placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System, but had erred in assuming the orbits of the planets to be circles.
Thus, by the "radius" of a planet's orbit one usually means the length of the semimajor axis.
As an example of using Kepler's 3rd Law, let's calculate the "radius" of the orbit of Mars (that is, the length of the semimajor axis of the orbit) from the orbital period.
The large tolerances for Venus and Earth are mainly due to the fact that their orbits are so nearly circular, making it difficult to precisely determine the axes of their elliptical orbits.
To determine the relativistic prediction for the advance of an elliptical orbit, let's work in the single plane q = p/2, so of course dq/dt and all higher derivatives also vanish, and we have sin(q) = 1.
Calculation gives for the planet Mercury a rotation of the orbit of 43" per century, corresponding exactly to the astronomical observation (Leverrier); for the astronomers have discovered in the motion of the perihelion of this planet, after allowing for disturbances by the other planets, an inexplicable remainder of this magnitude.
The Law of Orbits: All planets move in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focus.
The Law of Periods: The square of the period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of its orbit.
The elliptical shape of the orbit is a result of the inverse square force of gravity.

I love egg salad and I'm super picky about it.
An instant deal-breaker is gloppy, mayo-heavy egg salad that just screams empty calories.
I've created this easy recipe that largely uses 0% fat plain Greek yogurt and just a smidge of fat-free mayo.
For crunch there's a bit of celery while green onions, dill, and Dijon mustard add classic egg salad flavors.
You can doctor it up by adding diced red peppers, Roma tomatoes, dill relish, but I kept this version more traditional, minus the fat and calories. You'll never miss them.
I used 8 hard-boiled egg whites and 4 yolks, and discarded 4 of the yolks to keep it even lighter, but you can use 8 whole eggs. To keep it squeaky clean, the recipe can be made as egg-white only egg salad but I don't find it as satisfying without some yolks.
It's great on sandwiches, crackers, or just right out of the bowl. I can happily sit down to just a bowl of egg salad and polish it off.

You can discard the some of the yolksto keep it even lighter and the recipe can be made as egg-white only egg salad. It's great on sandwiches, crackers, or right out of the bowl.
Slice the eggs (I use all 8 egg whites and 4 yolks and discard the other 4 yolks based on personal preference). I prefer to keep the slices on the bigger side so I can see nice chunks of egg in the egg salad. I use this egg slicer to slice once vertically, then rotate the egg 90 degrees and slice again. If you don't have one, I recommend hand chopping rather than using a food processor so you don't pulverize the eggs; set aside.
To a large bowl, add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Add the eggs and stir gently to coat evenly. Taste and make any flavor or seasoning adjustments, if necessary. You may need more salt, more pepper, or an extra small dollop of Greek yogurt or mayo (those are the most common adjustments I make). Depending on how cold the eggs were when you peeled them and personal preference, you may need to cover and chill the egg salad for a few hours before serving. Egg salad will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve with bread, crackers, etc.

100% agree. Mayo always makes egg salad seem so gloppy, and I don't even have it all the time. Greek yogurt is one of my go-to's, so thanks for another great recipe!
I usually end up just eating the hard boiled eggs plain or on a salad. This looks much more exciting!! I like the green onion and dill in yours–I've never had it that way and am anxious to try it.
So much more exciting this way! If you try it, LMK!! So much more flavor with the onions, dill, and I bet you'll enjoy it!
I lovelovelove using Greek yogurt in egg salad! It's EXTRA creamy, and it has the super-protein goodness to keep me from turning into the hangry monster before my next meal. This looks delish! Pinned!
Thanks for pinning and everything you said is so true!
I think I'm the only person who hasn't tried avocado egg salad but I totally want to!
I seem to recall you having an amazing looking egg salad right around Easter? There were so many right around that time that I wanted to try everyone's recipes!
my husband loves egg salad! We'll have to try this soon!
When I'm in the right mood, I can go to TOWN on egg salad too and yeah those pesky calories can sneak up!
Perfect! Im gonna try this as soon as I get home from Alaska!
I love egg salad. Greek yogurt is a great idea. My daughter and I disagree over adding celery–I'm a definite "yes" but she isn't.
I love the crunch and while I'm not always a huge fan, I love it in egg salad!
Yes, I couldn't agree more – mayo-laden egg salads are the WORST!! This one looks so delicious, love how light it is!
I love that you used Greek yogurt! Great substitute. Pinned!
I love your website, but please understand. FAT does NOT hurt you. In fact, your body is made to digest healthy oils, including coconut oil, butter and olive oil. Sugars are the problem, causing weight gain, insulin resistance, heart problems, not to mention that cancer LOVES sugar and consumes it 19 times quicker than the human cell. Cancer also loves acidic bodies and sugar makes the body acidic.
So, all these recipes that use 0 percent fat yogurts, sour creams and margarines, ask yourself, if there is not fat to thicken the product, then what is the company using to make it just as thick? Read the ingredients on the back, and you probably won't be able to understand what crap they use. Neither does your body. No fat means that the company has to use sugar to make it palatable. 5 grams of sugar equals 1 teaspoon. Remember that when you read the back of all the processed food you are eating.
After 6 years of mostly blogging about desserts (with plenty of fat and sugar!!), there are times when I deviate and post recipes that are lighter and/or non-desserts. Some readers enjoy lighter recipes and like being given these options. To each her own if she chooses to make it or not, or substitute with ingredients that are more in keeping with her personal food philosophy.
Thanks for trying the recipe and I'm glad it came out great for you! Glad it was a big hit in your house!
I have been anxious to try this–and of course we loved it!! It's the first time I've put celery, green onion, and dill in egg salad (I usually use paprika) so it's my new favorite. I love the crunch and all the flavors together.
When you told me you had never put dill or celery in egg salad the other day I thought, really? That's always how my mom and grandma made it and so even though I lightened it up, the things I used were old-school, at least for me! But so glad you're a fan now of the crunch and the flavors! Thanks for trying it, Paula!
Like traditional egg salad but because of high fat ingredients rarely make it; very pleased to find this delish recipe, plan to make for this weekend along with fresh bread.
Oh what a treat,perhaps blueberry mini muffins.
Thank you for great recipe & a desire to cook creatively this summer.
You can use less Greek yogurt if you like pasty egg salad. I personally don't. Also if you use all the yolks it'll be thicker, too. I omitted most to keep it lighter.
This is the 3rd recipe I've made of yours in the past few weeks. This is very good! I made it today to have ready for Friday since it's Lent and I don't eat meat on Fridays. I'm not sure if it will last until Friday! :-) This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Glad you've been enjoying lots of my recipes the past few weeks and glad this recipe is a keeper for you!

Yakuza 0 (PS4) Review
Benj January 20, 2017	News, PS4, PS4 Reviews, Reviews Leave a comment 1,952 Views
Conspiracy, action, and an open world set in 1980's Japan. Welcome to Yakuza 0.
Yakuza 0 is an open-world game set in rad 1980's Japan at the boom of its economic reconstruction. The Japan in Yakuza 0 is one that lives in excess. It's packed with yuppies who have so much money that they don't know how to spend them all. Well, that is until organized crime gets to them with a conspiracy that spans two Japanese cities! Sound interesting? Well, read my review and find out if it's worth it! (Spoiler: IT IS.)
If you've played Yakuza in the past, then rest assured that everything that you love the game is back. The twist however, is that some things are different- but in a good way! A lot of the quirky things that people have come to love about Yakuza return here. And I mean stuff like the various mini-games and relationship building with people.
And actually, before we talk about the main game, I'd like to talk about those mini-games. See, I've spent about 80 hours on Yakuza 0. And at least 10 hours in there were spent on rushing to finish the story.
I've been playing the mini-games since then. Yep. Yakuza does such a good job in immersing you in the 80s that you actually start to believe that you're in the game. That goes a long way towards experiencing Kiryu and Goro's journey for yourself.
That's probably a good reason why I enjoy the mini-games a lot.
Some of the mini-games include a batting center, disco and bowling! There's a lot more though. Not the least of which is a Sega arcade that allows you to play some of Sega's classic arcade games. My favorite however, are the disco mini-games. I love Yakuza's soundtrack and their faux 80's songs are definitely fun to groove to. You know, if you like that sort of thing.
It is also worth nothing that some side-missions can only be unlocked through progressing through the various mini-games so do bear that in mind.
Speaking of side-missions, Yakuza 0 has a ton of them scattered around the venues of the game. Remember when I said that the world feels like its alive? It helps that most of the side-quests can only be activated when you walk past various events as you go around town.
One of my favorite side-missions is convincing a school girl to stop her Burusera ring. Burusera is quite simply the act of selling used underwear to the sort of people that like them. Of course, these people are depraved individuals so what happens next involves a lot of fighting and of course, Kiryu imparting an important lesson to the offending party.
Truth be told, majority of the time you don't really even feel like a gangster because Kiryu is such a good guy that I just want to actually meet him and buy him a beer. That's how bro he is.
Speaking of which, there are two playable characters namely Kiryu and Goro.
Longtime Yakuza players will definitely be excited to play as these two legendary figures in their younger years. The main difference between them lies in their fighting styles, which is an important component of Yakuza 0.
Kiryu is more of a brawler while Goro is a cerebral fighter. Both of them have access to 3 fighting styles with Kiryu having a balanced brawler, a power reliant beast mode and a technical rush fighting style which is essentially boxing. I will refrain from talking about Goro's fighting style, because it might be a spoiler but it's pretty similar to what he has in the future games.
Anyway, Yakuza 0's appeal lies in its ability to convincingly portray a 1980s Japan that's swimming in excess. The world is so alive that I sometimes lose myself whenever I run around doing errands for various shady people – and that's a good thing.
Yakuza's fighting system is simple and it will be sufficiently discussed in the many tutorials in the game, but I can guarantee that it's fairly simple to pick up.
Sounds and Storyline
The storyline is fairly standard Yakuza as it centers around Kiryu who wants nothing but to become a respected member of Tokyo's underworld. However he's such a good guy that he's pretty much better off as a Policeman or something.
But whatever he is, he definitely has a heart of gold – which leads him to be manipulated by the people around him. Goro on the other hand is on a journey for redemption. That's all I'll say but while Kiryu and Goro start out on opposite sides of the map, their journey will bring them together as they uncover the conspiracy that ties the both of them together.
Anyway, the best part about Yakuza is that, while there is a central story in play, it's worth noting that the people around Kiryu and Goro have lives of their own. This is all realistically portrayed by Yakuza's unique side missions. I can talk about how wonderful it is for hours, but it's best to simply experience it for yourself.
And I have to mention that the music and voice acting is all top-notch! Yakuza 0 has an all-star cast of Japanese talents that even people who prefer dubs would be happy with. The music is quintessentially 1980s Japan and it helps shape the atmosphere that immersed me in the game for hours.

Yakuza 0 is a fun game that mixes an open-world with a uniquely Japanese system of side-quests as well as mini-games. If you love that sort of thing, then Yakuza is the game for you. If you don't, then Yakuza may very well change your mind.

Lubcza – dawna gromada, czyli najmniejsza jednostka podziału terytorialnego Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej w latach 1954–1972.

Gromady, z gromadzkimi radami narodowymi (GRN) jako organami władzy najniższego stopnia na wsi, funkcjonowały od reformy reorganizującej administrację wiejską przeprowadzonej jesienią 1954 do momentu ich zniesienia z dniem 1 stycznia 1973, tym samym wypierając organizację gminną w latach 1954–1972.

Gromadę Lubcza z siedzibą GRN w Lubczy utworzono – jako jedną z 8759 gromad na obszarze Polski – w powiecie jasielskim w woj. rzeszowskim na mocy uchwały nr 22/54 WRN w Rzeszowie z dnia 5 października 1954. W skład jednostki weszły obszary dotychczasowych gromad Lubcza i Wola Lubecka ze zniesionej gminy Jodłowa w tymże powiecie. Dla gromady ustalono 27 członków gromadzkiej rady narodowej.

1 stycznia 1958 gromadę przeniesiono do powiatu tarnowskiego w woj. krakowskim.

W kwietniu 1969 gromada miała 17 członków gromadzkiej rady narodowej. 1 stycznia 1970 gromada składała się ze wsi: Lubcza i Wola Lubecka.

Gromada przetrwała do końca 1972 roku, czyli do kolejnej reformy gminnej.

Radicalised UK Muslims recruited to fight in 'holy war' for 'Al-Qaeda' in Somalia
London, Sun, 19 Feb 2012 ANI
London, Feb 19 (ANI): Dozens of radicalised Muslims in Britain are being trained by militant Islamists to fight in a "holy war" for Al Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda inspired Somali terrorist group, it has emerged.
Intelligence experts believe that nearly 50 British "volunteers", including white Christian converts and British-Somali men, have been recruited to fight for the terror outfit in Somalia.
They believe the British volunteers form the core of an international force of foreign fighters drawn from the United States, Canada, Europe and East Africa, The Telegraph reports.
Government officials have raised fears that the failed state is rapidly becoming a recruiting ground for British Jihadists in much the same way as Afghanistan was in the 1990s.
The Security Service believes that British volunteers who survive the bloody civil war may return to the UK as hardened terrorists eager to launch attacks against the homeland.
"Somalia poses a significant potential threat to the UK. It is regarded as a dog, which has barked but not yet bitten. These people are no mugs. Somalia is awash with weapons and there are some very tasty fighters out there," the paper quoted an expert, as saying.
The expert added that if anyone could survive for three years on the front line, they had the potential to become a "very accomplished" international terrorist.
The expert said that Al-Shabaab, which aims to turn Somalia into a hard line Sharia state, views British Muslims as prized assets because they are literate, motivated and have access to money.
"Young British and western Muslims are regarded as highly prized assets by Al-Shabaab, Most are educated, computer literate, can drive, have access to hard currency and will have connections in the west. Even a little money goes a long way in Somalia. So if a teenager arrives and he is not regarded as front line material then he will have other uses," the expert added.
According to the paper the revelations emerged ahead of an international summit to be hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron next week on the future of Somalia.
Cameron has recently described Somalia as "a failed state that directly threatens British interests" through kidnapping, piracy and the radicalisation of young Britons. (ANI)

U.S. election: Obama praised for handling of crisis
By Mitch PotterForeign Affairs Writer
Tue., Oct. 30, 2012timer3 min. read
updateArticle was updated Dec. 17, 2015
WASHINGTON—A good day for Barack Obama. A lesser one for Mitt Romney. But far worse still for two of the Republican candidate's backers, who bore the brunt of Superstorm Sandy's immediate political aftermath.
With millions powerless and a flood-ravaged, fire-scarred New York City still on its knees, Tuesday was the right moment for politics to just go away.
But with Election Day now only a week away — the political equivalent of the witching hour — it was never going to stay away long. And so even as the water seeped out of Manhattan's soggy crevasses, hyperpartisanship crept in.
Obama set the focus on victims, vowing to mobilize the full heft of federal resources.
"America's with you, we are standing behind you; and we are going to do everything we can to get you back on your feet," Obama said after a visit to a Red Cross shelter in Washington.
The president said he expected federal agencies to work adroitly with state and local officials, saying, "I want you to cut through the red tape. I want you to cut through the bureaucracy. I want every agency to lean forward."
With an announced two-day hiatus from campaigning, the president was expected to travel to New Jersey to tour storm damage. The journey will include a meeting with Gov. Chris Christie, a Romney supporter who abandoned all partisanship in the face of Sandy, instead offering fulsome praise for Obama's handling of the crisis.
"I have to give the president great credit," Christie told Fox News. "He's done, as far as I'm concerned, a great job for New Jersey."
Romney and Obama alike suspended their campaigns for two days. But without an official role to play in the crisis, Romney straddled an awkward political fence Tuesday, turning a previously planned campaign rally in Kettering, Ohio, into an impromptu disaster relief drive.
"We have heavy hearts, as you know, with all the suffering going on in a major part of our country," Romney told supporters amid tables lined with donations, including canned goods and bottled water.
Romney's brief remarks made no mention of Obama or the election. But not everyone got the bipartisan memo, as evidenced by a twitter picture of two Romney supporters at the rally — one smiling woman holding two cans of food, another smiling woman holding an "Obama, You're Fired" T-shirt.
Whatever impact Sandy has on the election is likely to hinge on federal action in coming days, with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on the hot seat. Romney, who has repeatedly expressed an interest in downsizing or even privatizing the agency, was asked repeatedly about his plans for FEMA Tuesday but ignored the questions.
But Romney's day was a breeze compared to that of bloviating mogul Donald Trump, who awakened a new torrent of criticism after he chose the morning after Sandy to extend his vendetta against Obama.
An explosion of pushback on social media metastasized at Salon.com, which declared that Trump's "epic hubris and freakish Obama obsession" had reached an all-time low.
But even Trump's day pales against that of Wall Street hedge fund analyst and Republican political consultant Shashank Tripathi, who was outed by BuzzFeed.com as the Twitter villain who caused havoc during the peak of Sandy by deliberately spreading false news under the pseudonym @ComfortablySmug.
Tripathi, whose fake reports spread so quickly onto news broadcasts that New York City's transportation and electrical utility officials were forced to step away from the crisis to refute them, hung up on a BuzzFeed reporter when he was tracked down Tuesday.
Tripathi, 29, let his twitter account fall silent after the call. But the story of his outing, which revealed Tripathi to be a paid consultant for a New York Republican congressional candidate and an unpaid volunteer with Team Romney, soon went viral, making him instantly infamous. And, one presumes, neither comfortable nor smug.
