Accroche
Chaque épisode commence par la phrase d'accroche, énoncée en voix off (voix interprétée par Daniel Beretta en français) et se concluant sur le son dun-dun , caractéristique des séries de Dick Wolf :

Synopsis
Cette série met en scène une unité d'élite appelée Section Criminelle (, « Brigade des Crimes Majeurs » en version originale) chargée d'enquêter sur des meurtres complexes ou extrêmement violents.

Contrairement à la série-mère New York, police judiciaire, l'aspect judiciaire des enquêtes est peu présent. Les enquêteurs utilisent les preuves matérielles comme base pour ensuite se concentrer sur la personnalité et la psychologie des différentes personnes impliquées dans l'affaire. Presque tous les épisodes se terminent alors par un dernier interrogatoire assez long et spécifiquement mis en scène par les enquêteurs pour pousser le ou les suspects à avouer ou à se dénoncer entre eux.

Le duo principal d'inspecteurs est formé par Robert « Bobby » Goren, un excellent psychologue dont la capacité d'analyse et les techniques inhabituelles d'interrogatoire contribuent largement aux succès des enquêtes, et par Alexandra Eames, une flic plus expérimentée chargée à la fois de cadrer Goren, et d'apporter son flair des entreprises criminelles.

Entre les saisons 5 et 8, ce duo n'est présent que dans un épisode sur deux, tandis qu'un autre duo dont la composition évolue instruit le reste des enquêtes. Dans la saison 9, ce duo est présent dans le double épisode 1 et 2 "Raison d'état", accompagné du capitaine Danny Ross dans la première partie jusqu'à sa mort, puis de l'inspecteur Zack Nichols (ayant assuré qu'il n'était pas en vacances et souhaitait aider à l'arrestation de l'assassin de leur capitaine) dans l'épisode 2. Le duo habituel est présent dans l'intégralité des épisodes que compte la saison 10 (seulement 8 épisodes).

L'unité est dirigée par le capitaine James Deakins dans les saisons 1 à 5, puis, à partir de la saison 6 change régulièrement, avec une direction successivement par le capitaine Danny Ross (saisons 6 à 8 et saison 9 épisode 1), le capitaine Zoé Callas (saison 9 exceptés épisodes 1 et 2), et Joseph Hannah (saison 10). Précision particulière, après le décès de Danny Ross à la fin de l'épisode 1 de la saison 9, et durant l'épisode 2 uniquement, l'intérim est assuré successivement par Bobby Goren jusqu'à sa suspension, et Alex Eames par la suite.

Le substitut du procureur Ron Carver a instruit bon nombre d'affaires menées par le groupe (saisons 1 à 5). Son rôle se borne essentiellement à donner une orientation juridique à l'enquête. Après son départ, il est remplacé par la substitut Patricia Kent pendant quelques épisodes, puis le rôle du substitut régulier disparait.

Comme les autres séries de la franchise, l'implication personnelle des enquêteurs est très limitée. Cependant, à partir de la saison 6, les choses changent. L'inspecteur Bobby Goren découvre la véritable identité de son père. Dans la saison 7, Goren va devoir affronter la mort de son frère et voler au secours de son neveu.

La réalisation de la série suit également le modèle caractéristique de la franchise : la plupart des scènes sont introduites par un intertitre situant le contexte, et s'enchaînent à un rythme très serré au fil des éléments de l'enquête, surtout en première partie d'épisode.

Please suggest a fix.

A: You can use non-Python dependencies in the Flexible environment, via a custom runtime. From About Custom Runtimes:

Custom runtimes allow you to define new runtime environments, which
might include additional components like language interpreters or
application servers.

See also Building Custom Runtimes.

A: If you want to customize your environment, you can use a container. Deploy it on App Engine flexible as suggested by Dustin but, be careful App Engine Flex doesn't scale to 0, and thus you pay even if your service isn't used.
Because you have a container, I recommend you to have a look to Cloud Run. It's similar to App Engine, but it scales to 0 and it's very powerful.

it would be nice if the last weapon was m4.
2- It would also be nice to upload new and smaller maps.
3- How about the 3rd wave coming in a big giant (boss)?
What we're looking for are mod-related changes for all servers, not only ours. The weapons are already in the to-do list. What we're looking for are class ability suggestions.
About the maps issue: We have maps that can be tested.
1- I suggest adding a random weapon box same as the one in Cod Black ops 2 zombies , gives you a random weapon.
Winner team is the team that survives to the end and has the score advantage OR make it that if both teams make it to the end then it switches to a team death math no respawning (reviving still works) and winner team is the team that kills all the other players ofc , also rader is permanently on at this point.
make maps which support Grief a bit larger so that they can support 2 teams.
2. give engineer special ability to throw 2 ammo bags that stay for longer time and/or have faster ammo refill rate than regular ammo bag. or special ability that make 4 regular ammo bags drop from the sky after you throw a flare or flash bang.
3. insta-kill special ability but when you activate it, it gives you a random weapon to use. maybe a pistol, shotgun, m14, or sniper rifle. don't know which class should use it but sounds like a good idea for special ability.
4. unlimited ammo/no reload special ability that last X seconds. maybe 15 seconds?

Only discovered in Britain in the early 1970's, it was undoubtedly previously overlooked amongst Green Pug.
The distinctive caterpillar is pale green or whitish with a pinkish dorsal line, and feeds in the early spring on the flowers of blackthorn (Prunus spinosa).
The moths fly in May and June and the species is now known from much of England northwards to Yorkshire.

These frighteningly delicious little treats will be a graveyard smash with guests at your yearly Halloween fright fest.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 24-cup mini-cupcake pans with 36 mini-cupcake liners and spray lightly with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together non-dairy milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not over-mix.
3. Fill cupcake liners about three-quarters full with batter. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean with a few crumbs clinging to it. Cool cupcakes completely. When cooled, run a sharp knife around each cupcake to loosen and use tip of knife to gently pry cupcake out of pan.
4. For the frosting, using a handheld or stand mixer, beat shortening until smooth. With mixer running on low, add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk at a time, as needed, until frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. You may not need to use all of the non-dairy milk. Beat mixture on high for 2 more minutes until light and fluffy.
5. To decorate the cupcakes, frost top of each cupcake with a thin layer of frosting. Divide remaining frosting into two bowls. In one bowl, mix in a few drops of blue food coloring. In other bowl, mix in a few drops of black food coloring. Fit two piping bags with two small round tips. Fill one piping bag with blue frosting and the other with black frosting. Pipe an eyeball design on each cupcake, as pictured. Then use a toothpick to paint on "bloodshot" red squiggly lines for full effect.
Chef's Note: You can also make a gluten-free cupcake by substituting the flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour plus 1-1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum.


Are you open to listening to ideas that run contrary to your own?
On the heels of the recent US election, some voices are bemoaning the state of US democracy. Some decry the choices of those they call the "uneducated", asking how these people could make such "uninformed" choices. "What has happened to our education system?" and "Why have civics classes disappeared?" they moan.
So in this compact, what is the role of public education?
"Public education in the United States emerged in part from the goals of democratic society: to prepare people to become responsible citizens; to improve social conditions; to promote cultural unity; to help people become economically self-sufficient; and to enhance individual happiness and enrich individual lives."
To teach young people to accept and protect societal norms.
To teach young people the skills necessary to access jobs to live happily in a society.
 3. To teach young people ways to enrich their intellectual lives, becoming both knowledgeable and intellectually discerning.
US public schools seem to address the first two points with varying success.
For (1) "societal norms", from Kindergarten forward, students are taught methods of coexisting, dealing appropriately with conflict, and what it means to be a citizen. How well students are indoctrinated in these norms varies widely, but overall people grow up believing in a democratic union.
For (2) "skills", students are given the tools to access the job market - the tools have changed over the years, but the concept remains. Even so-called "21st Century Skills" were created by the OECD to meet the projected needs of employers. Nothing has really changed since the advent of public education two centuries ago.
However, it is the third point which may not be addressed fully, if at all, by public schools. And it is this third point, becoming both knowledgeable and intellectually discerning, that is fundamental to a well-functioning democracy.
Thomas Jefferson famously wrote "wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government".
We must ask if being well-informed or nurturing the "intellect" is being addressed by public schools.
Are students given the chance to become intellectually discerning by facing well-constructed arguments that go directly against their own opinions and beliefs?
Without such point and counter-point in the public school system, how can the electorate become well-informed and discerning? It is only through debate that one can become knowledgeable and intellectually discerning.
Take a moment to ponder this: Are you open to listening to ideas that run contrary to your own?
Or, if not, is it fair to say you are contributing, perhaps unknowingly, to the current rise of anti-intellectualism?

These Chocolate chip cookies come from Cook's Illustrated, who call them perfect. I have to concur. These are delicious, slightly chewy, and flat-out yummy.
I didn't have chocolate chips on hand, so I went with M&Ms. The result was a bit multicolored but that only added to the fun.
I had to take two aside for my parents; otherwise my sisters and I would have gobbled all of them down.
300 g semisweet chocolate chips or chunks, or M&Ms.
1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees c. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Add flour and baking soda to a bowl. Set aside.
4. Once you've achieved the desired color on the butter, pour it into a heat-proof bowl. Add the remaining, unmelted butter, and stir together until said butter has melted into the liquid.
6. Add the egg and the yolk to the mixture and whisk together until smooth. Let it stand for a couple of minutes, and then whisk again. The mix should be thick and shiny.
7. Stir in the flour and baking soda.
8. Add the chocolate chips/M&Ms/whatever you fancy. Stir well to ensure that the flour is mixed well in.
9. This should make about 16 cookies, so divide the dough into that. (2-3 tbsp of dough per cookie. If your tablespoons are large, you might want to go with 2 and not 3, unless you want extreme sized cookies.) There should be 8 piles of dough on each sheet. The cookies will spread, so arrange it on the sheets so they have enough space to do so.
10. Bake one tray at the time, in the middle of the oven, until the cookies are golden brown and the edges have started to set, but the centre should still be soft. Approx. 10 minutes, depending on your oven.
11. Use a wide spatula, (unless you want the cookies to break) transfer the cookies to a wire rack. They should be cool before serving, so you get a hard exterior but a soft centre.
Note: I ended up using regular butter, not unsalted, so I removed the salt from the recipe as well.


The city has now started to run bus trips to the Hard Rock Casino, in Tampa. I do not believe this is a proper function of local government. The local clubs and veterans groups use this activity as recreation for their members, and the public is welcome. The revenue that is generated is used to offset the rising costs of operating the clubs.
Competition from the city is not in the best interest of these groups or citizens of Palm Coast. Next the council will allow a city-owned Bingo Palace, with the excuse that they need it to raise money.
My advice is to help our community by cutting expenses. Stay out of private club business. You were not elected to run all aspects of our lives. Capitalism works, so let it.
I have read several articles referencing the boccie courts at Holland Park. There are many of these courts in the Midwest, from whence I hail. None of them is covered. Like baseball, golf, tennis and soccer, this is accepted as an outdoor sport.
I find it somewhat silly that people relocated in Florida for the sunshine, and then they complain that the sunshine is hazardous to their health. Hello! It's called the Sunshine State for a reason.
It's not the government's responsibility to solve your problems. Put on some sun block.
I am amazed that the City Council treats this issue seriously, given the financial straits that we are in. I would like to see our leaders present cost-reduction measures and exercise fiscal conservatism, rather than look for new ways to waste the city treasury.

BUILD-A-BABY: Chrissy Teigen And John Legend Chose The Sex Of Their Child Prior To Her Pregnancy
Zon D'Amour

Chrissy Teigen has been candid about her issues with fertility. After years of trying to conceive, the model and talk show host is excitedly expecting her first child with husband John Legend this spring.
At the beginning of her pregnancy, Chrissy famously declared, "get out of my uterus" and she claimed she was done talking about her personal life because of negative comments on social media. However, in efforts to sell her new cookbook "Cravings" she's backpedaled on those statements.
In an interview with People Magazine she shared that she and John chose the sex of their baby prior to her pregnancy.
"I made this decision. Not only am I having a girl, but I picked the girl from her little embryo. I picked her and was like, 'Let's put in the girl,'" said Chrissy.
While it would seem as if all father's would want their first born to be a son, Chrissy thought otherwise:
"I think I was most excited and allured by the fact that John would be the best father to a little girl. That excited me. Just the thought of seeing him with a little girl. I think he deserves a little girl. I think he deserves that bond. A boy will come along."
She added that the pair have been practicing their parental skills with their dog. "Puddy our bulldog was John's first dog ever," she said. "He never suspected he could love something like that ever, so it's so funny seeing him interact with them and knowing that's the way he's going to speak to our kid."
After dating for six years and getting married in 2013, Chrissy says she may know her husband better than he knows himself but they'll soon discover new aspects of each other as parents.
"I think we'll have two very different styles. I'm excited to see that part of John; We've been together so long, and sometimes we look at each other and we're like, 'I know everything about you and you know everything about me,' but we have no idea what we're going to be like as parents. I think it'll be really fun. I'm excited."

Греми () е град-крепост от 16 век на брега на река Инцоба в Грузия, стара столица на Кахетинското царство. Разположен е в Алазанската долина, а замъкът се издига над нея, изграден на висок хълм. Днес това е един от важните късносредновековни архитектурно-исторически комплекси на Грузия. През 2007 г. е предложен за включване в Списъка на световно културно и природно наследство на ЮНЕСКО.

География
Греми се намира между съвременните градове Телави и Кварели, на изток от едноименното село, на 175 km от столицата Тбилиси. Разположен е в подножието на хълма Самеба, в Алазанската долина, при вливането на малката рекичка Болия в р. Инцоба, ляв приток на Алазани. Предполага се, че територията е населена още през късната бронзова епоха.

История
През 15 век Кахетия се освобождава от монголско робство, икономическото ѝ състояние се подобрява и в областта даже е възстановено старото Кахетинско царство. Греми е основан от кахетинския цар Георги VIII, последният владетел на обединена Грузия. Архитектурният ансамбъл на царската крепост е построен по заповед на цар Леван Кахетински, а градът е обявен за столица.

Греми е изграден на левия бряг на река Инцоба, а сложният релеф е използван много рационално. По отношение на сливането му с пейзажа, е един от най-добрите примери в страната, заедно с манастира Джвари край Мцхета. През цялото време на своето управление Леван Кахетински се старае да поддържа мирни отношения със съседите си. Благодарение на тази политика градът процъфтява и става най-богатото селище в региона. Установяват се търговски връзки с Русия и много страни от Азия. Пътищата, водещи на изток, са настлани с каменни и тухлени плочи, а на края на всеки еднодневен преход са изградени кервансараи. Историята свидетелства, че през Греми минава един от клоновете на Пътя на коприната, което способства неговото бързо развитие.

През 15 – 16 век Греми е не само политико-административен и икономически център. В него е развита силно и просветната дейност. Сред населението и до наши дни се носи преданието, че в града е съществувала академия, подобна на тази в Гелатския манастир. Тук, по заповед на царица Ана, съпругата на Александър I, е написана хрониката за историята на Кахетия, която не е съхранена. В града цар Давид I превежда от персийски поемата "Калила и Димна", пак тук цар Теймураз I поставя началото на поетическото си творчество, пишейки за красотата на Греми.

Градът обаче, просъществува само 150 години. Персийският шах Абас I Велики няколко пъти напада Кахетия, но нашествието от 1616 година е особено тежко и съсипващо за страната. По пътя си той унищожава всичко, каквото успее, и взима в плен над 100 000 души. Греми е превърнат в руини, а ударът по него е толкова силен, че градът не успява да се възстанови.

На мястото на Греми възниква малко селище, много често нападано от лезгинците, което е напълно унищожено по време на управлението на Теймураз I, цар на Кахетия и Картли. В средата на 17 век Греми все още се приема като столица на Кахетинското царство, но постепенно животът там заглъхва и за столица отново е приет Телави.

Архитектура
Бившият град Греми има голямо архитектурно и историческо значение, не само като столица на Кахетинското царство, но и като образец на градското строителство в Грузия по онова време. Никъде другаде в страната не са се съхранили толкова много подземни и надземни елементи на инфраструктурата и строителството. Не всички райони на града са разкрити и изучени и археологическите разкопки продължават. През 1999 г. е възстановен мъжкият манастир, а през 2011 започва провеждането на мащабни реставрационни работи.

Зад крепостните стени е изграден единен архитектурен ансамбъл, създаден главно при управлението на Леван Кахетински. Владетелят отделя особено внимание на реставрацията, строителството и изписването на храмовете, което има огромно политическо значение в условията на съседство с мюсюлманските държави Иран и Турция.

Богатата столица заема площ от около 40 – 50 ха и е обкръжена от крепостни стени. Населена е с около 100 000 жители. На западния склон е построен параклиса "Св. Георги" с кула. По-нагоре, в планината Самеба е изграден кръглата в план църква "Св. Троица".

Археологическите разкопки доказват, че градът е разделен на 4 части. Централният комплекс на Греми се състои от църквата "Свети Архангел Михаил и Гавраил", прилежащите към нея територии и жилищната резиденция на царя.

На североизток от цитаделата, в подножието на хълма, между реките Болия и Инцоба е развит Кварталът на знатните. Първоначално там се заселват обикновени градски жители, а по-късно районът започва да се застроява с дворци – първо на Леван, след това на Александър II и Теймураз I. В квартала са изградени жилищата и парадните домове на приближените на царя и обществената върхушка, бани, фонтани, павилиони за развлечения и царската градина.

На територията на третата, югозападната част, отделен от аристократичния квартал със скалист хребет, се разполага основният, най-гъсто населен търговско-занаятчийски район.

Четвъртата част представлява крепост, разположена на хребета Самеба. По аналогия на древната крепост Нарикала в Тбилиси, тази е наричана Гремска Нарикала. В нея са разположени църквата "Света Троица", палати, стопански постройки и съоръжения на отбранителната система.

Това, което е останало до днес от комплекса е църквата "Архангел Михаил и Гавраил", камбанарията край нея, сградата на двореца и избата за съхранение на вино (марани). От там по таен път може да се достигне до река Инцоба.

Църквата "Архангел Михаил и Гавраил"
За цялото време на съществуването си храмът е център на християнството в Кахетия. Постоянно се провеждат служби, а хората пристигат от цялата страна и църквата има голяма посещаемост. Независимо от голямата ѝ историческа стойност, тя продължава да е действащ храм и в наше време.

Архитектурата на църквата на национално ниво може да бъде сравнена с манастирския комплекс в Шуамта, близо до Телави. Тези два паметника представят една и съща традиция по отношение на архитектурните си форми, пропорции и характеристиките на дизайна.

Църквата "Архангел Михаил и Гавраил" се намира на върха на хълма и се вижда отдалеко. Построена е през 1565 г. по заповед на Леван, на мястото на по-стар храм. Смята се, че е първата църква, изградена в града. Строена е по каноните на средновековната грузинска архитектура, но в същото време се забелязва и влиянието на архитектурата на съседните Персия и Иран. Стилът е строг, без никакви излишества. В храма е погребан цар Леван Кахетински, чийто гроб е маркиран с фреска с неговото изображение.

Една от особеностите на църквата е, че е строена не с камък, както болшинството подобни постройки, а с т.нар. грузинска тухла. Не е ясно защо е избран точно този строителен материал, но се предполага, че тъй като градът е богат, е използвана скъпата тухла, вместо евтиния, по онова време, камък.

Църквата е кръстокуполна с размери 16х12 m и височина 27 m. Особените пропорции на отделните обеми допълват и развиват традиционната структура на грузинските църкви от този вид. Основният неф е много висок и тесен. Куполът се поддържа от две свободно стоящи цилиндрични колони и удължената апсида. Храмът има три входа, основният от които е на западната страна. Двата, които са на северната и южната, са по-малки.

Фасадата е образец на прилагането на тухлената декоративна система, характерна за края на феодалната епоха в Грузия. На източната фасада е изпълнена сложна система от слепи арки и два кръста, разположени един под друг. Първият, както и на другите фасади, е вдълбан в стената, а вторият, по-издължен и елегантен, е релефен. Централната фасада е украсена с аркатурни пояси и лъжливи арки с вписани в тях големи кръстове. Аналогични арки са изработени и по страничните фасади, поместени в правоъгълни ниши. Църквата става прототип за изграждането на цяла група други църковни сгради в Грузия.

Стенописите са съхранени относително добре. Те са в пряка връзка с пост-византийската гръцка живописна традиция. Характерна тяхна черта е разнообразието на темите. Целите стени са покрити с фрески като с килим. Желанието да се вместят колкото може повече сюжети води до намаляване на размерите на самите изображения и на отделните сцени. Композициите представят портрети в цял ръст, до колене, до кръста, бюстове. Надписите покрай фигурите са на гръцки и грузински, изписани с древното писмо асомтаврули. По стените могат да се видят портрети на царете на Кахетия, фрески с изображения на Христос и светците, както и стенопис на светите Константин и Елена в цял ръст. Добре е съхранена и фреската с отричането на апостол Петър.

Камбанария

Недалеко от църквата се издига нейната камбанария. Запазена е прекрасно, въпреки че всички фрески в нея са изпълнени в наши дни от грузинския художник Леван Чогошвили. Той изписва стените в рамките на проекта за възстановяване на онова, което е останало от града. За няколко години са реставрирани не само църквата и камбанарията, а и царската резиденция, крепостната стена и избата за вино.

В камбанарията на църквата също е организирана неголяма експозиция. Най-сериозен интерес измежду експонатите предизвиква едно оръдие от 16 век, намерено при разкопките на града.

Царски дворец
Най-стар е разположеният на висок хълм, извисяващ се над града Царски квартал, естествен архитектурен център на селището. Там се намира царската резиденция и всички помощни постройки към нея. Тя представлява триетажен, четириъгълен дворец-кула. По-късно към нея е направена надстройка с 6-стенна камбанария с открита аркада. Към комплекса спадат още запазени стопански постройки, изба за вино и преси за грозде.

Царският дворец също е реставриран. От двореца на Леван до днес са съхранени резервоарът за вода и издигнато място, където най-вероятно е сядал царят. Най-интересна е неговата гардеробна. На първия етаж от реставрираната царска резиденция е разкрит исторически музей, който разказва за живота и дейността на кахетинските владетели, управлявали от Греми. Събрани са предмети от епохата на Леван Кахетински (1504 – 1574), Александър II (1527 – 1605), Давид I (1569 – 1602) и Константин I (1567 – 1605).

В двореца, който по своите очертания напомня замък, съществува стар подземен таен проход, изпълняващ две съвсем различни функции. По него, по време на цар Леван, е прокаран водопровод от реката, по който става снабдяването с вода. Изработен е с керамични тръби, минава по Лопотския пролом и докараната вода е достатъчна не само за пиене и домакински нужди, а и за работата на банята, фонтаните и за поливане на градините. Второто му предназначение е по него да се придвижва войска или доверени пратеници с тайни поръчения.

Крепостни стени и кули
Цялата територия на града е оградена с високи каменни стени, с кули и бойници. Тъй като градът е разположен в планинска местност, височината на тези стени в различните си части не е еднаква и следва линията на релефа. Правилно избраното местоположение на града също спомага за по-лесната му отбрана.

Музей за историята на града

На територията на комплекса е построен още един, съвременен музей, който е посветен на историята на града, от неговото създаване до самия му край. На територията на бившия град се откриват домакински съдове, мечове, древни монети и други. В музея е изложена част от тях – предмети на бита и оръжия от времето, когато градът е бил богат и проспериращ. Прожектира се и филм, сниман на територията на историческия Греми, който разказва много подробно за величието и важността на този град в далечното минало.

Територията на града
На територията на Греми се намират развалините на най-малко 15 неголеми църкви, на стените на някои от които, се различават арменски, грузински и арабски надписи и орнаменти. Все още могат да се разпознаят останките от кервансарай, баня, търговски пасажи, склад за вино, жилища, отбранителни съоръжения, резервоар за вода, водопровод.

Търговските пасажи представляват комплекс от четириъгълни постройки – магазини и занаятчийски работилници. Някои имат малки тераси с изглед към вътрешния двор, други имат изби. Кервансараят се намира в източната част на квартала и е място за отдих за пътешествениците, пътниците и търговците, пътуващи по Пътя на коприната. Състои се от дълга галерия, от двете страни на която са разположени стаите. В края на района се намира банята. След нея, в персийски стил, са построени още търговски пасажи и още един кервансарай.

В центъра на квартала се намира оградено място с изградена от камък и тухли църква. Над входа ѝ е запазен надпис на грузински, арменски и персийски език, според който църквата е построена през 1623 г. от Матарси, секретар на кахетинския цар Арександър II. Недалеко от нея е разкопан древен езически храм, посветен на Слънцето. За него обаче няма никаква информация.

Около развалините на града се намират три древни гробища – грузинско, арменско и еврейско, както и развалини на укрепление.

В наше време са реставрирани не само древните сгради на Греми, но са направени и удобни подходи към комплекса. По целия периметър на древния град са поставени информационни табла, които дават възможност да се научи повече за всяка сграда и служат като пътеводител.

Q: i'm getting crazy trying to upload my app I'm getting crazy, I was trying to upload with application loader, but i got this error:
'The binary you uploaded was invalid. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate'
then, looking for a solution, some idiot told me that he had the same issue, & he realized that he had 2 keys, & he fixed it removing one of them... Other idiot (me) listened to him & removed one of the keys... Now I lost my key, & I don't know how to recover them!
And the first problem still there...
any help, please!!

A: You can download and install the certificates (except your original key) from Apple's developer portal.
Code singing can be painful but does work in the end (usually). I usually try the following:

*

*Cleaning and rebuilding

*Clean, exit Xcode, rebuild

*Clean, in the Finder go and delete all intermediate files, rebuild

You can also just resign archives in the Organizer panel in Xcode. That may be quicker but I'm not sure whether it's more or less effective.

A: You may generate a new distribution public/private keypair and create a new distribution identity (i.e. X.509 certificate). Then just re-sign your application with the new distribution identity and retry your upload.  Just revoke your existing distribution certiciate first in the provisioning portal.

A: To address your first problem it is usually just because it hasn't been signed with your distribution key or the key you've used was created for a different project name  (or as I found out recently if you zip the file on a windows machine it will break it too).
To address your second issue, about deleting the key and it now missing this is trivial and nothing to worry about (usually).  I've deleted all my keys many times and reinstalling them is just a case of logging into your provisioning portal and clicking download on the provisioning profile(s)  you need assuming you've created them already.
i.e. you will need a development key associated with the projects named "com.yourcompany.*".  (I believe xcode will now handle this debug team profile automatically for you however I like telling it to use my development key as you know what it's doing and when they need renewing.)
This is the key you'll use to build your debug and release builds with to run on your local iPhone.
You will also need your distribution key which needs to be explicitly named such as "com.yourcompanyname.*yourproductname*". and must match your project's identifier which is found in the project settings->Configuration tab I believe.
Once you have these redownloaded, double click the provisioning files to make sure they're installed.  (The Organizer utility should pop up showing which profiles are available).  You can now check your project settings (make sure you have distribution build selected at the top left.   If you only have Debug/Release you need to make the distribution build
target by duplicating Release), and look at the codesigning part.
The codesigning section should show which provisioning profile it's using so should have your distribution key specified here.  If it doesn't, open up the drop down to select the new one you've just installed.  If that doesn't appear (or is greyed out) it's because the ID name in your project hasn't matched the key ID name.
If you've done this previously and it's still not working it might be something else but thought it best covering the usual culprits first.
(Also would be good to highlight which xcode version you're using as I've not tried Xcode 4 which may have a different workflow)
Hope this helps...

Guinea Hens, Briskets, & Cowtown RV Resort, Aledo, Texas
Friday 5/11/2013
After we visited the Creation Evidence Museum, in Glen Rose, we stop at the store to pick up a few item. While Joe ran in to the store I waited in the car with Mallery. I notice these strange birds across the parking lot.
When Joe got back to the car, I told him about them, so I had him drive over where I had seen them. There were six in all, 3 dark grey and 3 white gray ones.
They were not in my bird book, but Joe said God put it in his head that they were called Guinea Hens. I googled that name, and sure enough, that is what they are.
We then stopped at Hammond's for 1/2 pound of brisket for dinner and boy was it good.
We were also going to stop at the The Ranch House to get another 1/2 pound of brisket to compare which was better, but they were not open.
The next day, Joe stopped to fill up the Nest as we headed out of town at the gas station that is right next to The Ranch House. As he got gas, I ran over and order the brisket. It was $5 instead $7 for the 1/2 pound of meat. We had it for lunch later and it was really good, but it was more like a roast than a brisket.
There were fields on our way toward Fort Worth that were covered with Indian Blanket wildflowers.
Our route took us through Granbury then onto Hwy 377.
North of Granbury I saw field of wild yellow flowers.
Joe has started to make it a habit to call our next RV park a few day before we arrive and get direction. It was a good thing he did, because when he called the park to get directions and to confirm our 3 day reservations, he found out they only had us booked for Friday, and had no room for us on Saturday or Sunday. Joe spent that day calling around trying to find another park that could takes us at such short notice, and arriving on the weekend.
The campground we were originally going to was a Passport America Park, which was perfectly located to what we were going to see and do in the area. It also was at a rate at 1/2 price. From this experience, we have learned it is a good idea to confirm your reservations a couple days after booking it, to make sure there are no mistakes, and if possible, have a email confirmation of your reservation sent to you. After 4 1/2 years this has never happened before, but it was a bit frustrating to say the least!
When we got to where we were to take I-20 west, we turned left as the signs and GPS directed us. Unfortunately the exit put us on a detour, which made a complete circle back to where we made the exit. We were both looking, trying to figure out where to go, when Joe saw that we had to turn right, in the opposite direction, to catch I-20 west. He had to make a quick lane change, or we would have been back on the detour route. About 15 miles west on I-20 we could see our new RV park on the other side of the road. Our GPS told us to take exit 420, but the RV park said not to take 420, because it wouldn't get us to the park. Instead the park had told Joe to go a bit farther and to take exit 418. We were glad Joe had called ahead.
We pass our park as we continue on I-20 to exit 418.
Once we got off exit 418, we were instructed to turn around and head back the way we had come except on the frontage road to the park.
Our drive was just a little over an hour from Glen Rose, Texas.
We were given site # 120 which was a pull through, but with a gravel pad, and gravel roads in front and behind us. There are some sites in the park that have cement pads and cement in roads, but when you call two days prior, and on a weekend to boot, we felt "Blessed" just to have this place for the next three nights! It was forcasted to rain, but God "Blessed" us with a clear dry day for our drive. We give Thanks to God for a place to park and a safe day's drive!

The right marinade is particularly important for shashlik. The acids in a marinade change the structure of proteins in meat denaturing them. It makes meat easier to digest and helps slow the growth of harmful bacteria.
In this recipe, lean pork is marinated in kefir. Kefir is a fermented milk drink which is very popular in Russia.
Cut pork into cubes (5-6 cm (=2 inches)).
Place a layer of pork in a saucepan, follow with a layer of chopped onions. Repeat. Season each layer with salt, pepper and other spices. Pour in kefir and refrigerate for about 24 hours.
Slice remaining onions. Thread pork cubes onto skewers alternating with onions slices. Baste with marinade while grilling.
Place pork cubes and onions in a saucepan, pour in wine, pomegranate and lemon juice. Season to taste with herbs, salt and pepper. Knead marinade into the meat. Mix oil in (without kneading). Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
Thread pork onto skewers. Turn skewers frequently while grilling to cook meat evenly.
To juice pomegranate better, roll it between your hands or on a table. Then cut in half and juice slowly using a citrus press. Please note: pomegranate juice stains clothes.

How do we truly get to where we are? Is there a trajectory in which we unknowingly follow as it guides us with gentle whispers or sometimes full fledged shoves? Sometimes you think you know where you want to go, where you want to be, who you want to be… but then when you become it you don't like it. Sometimes you do know what you want and you pursue it endlessly without any success. But sometimes, when you least expect it, it happens… you get to where you wanted to be all along and you love it. When that happens, you feel like you have a purpose.
How did you get there? With a little preparation, hard work, and by not giving up you were able to get lucky at the right time. Maybe someone believed in you and gave you a chance, maybe you earned your right to sit at the table of greats, but it wouldn't have happened without all the hard work and the luck that came your way. Take a chance to get a chance.

FEMINIST Vegan Cafe That Charged 18% 'MAN TAX' Shuts Down After 24 Months - Strip Club Businesses Going Strong
By Tyler Durden: The owner of a Melbourne vegan cafe that hit men with an 18% surcharge to highlight the gender wage gap has failed after two years, according to the Daily Mail.
The 'Handsome Her', owned by green activist Alex O'Brien, announced that it was tackling gender inequalities in 2017 by charging men more and seating women first.
Billed as a safe space for women and lesbians, the eatery attracted widespread criticism online.
"The man tax blew up the internet, an idea that we didn't think was all too radical, yet the way the world responded showed us how fragile masculinity is and solidified the necessity for us to confront and dismantle patriarchy," reads a farewell post on Facebook.
Looks like men are still to blame!
"Yes, we are the evil, discriminatory, man-hating dykes who charge men more when didn't you know the wage gap doesn't even exist!? Meanwhile gentlemen's social clubs live on and strong around Melbourne and the world over…"
Mohamed Noor, Fake News And The Automatic Outgroup Derogation Of Men
By Jewel Eldora: The following are two direct quotes from the trial of Officer Mohamed Noor last week.
#1) "No one here is on trial for breaking police policy." Judge Kathryn Quaintance.
Quote #1 is out of context, directionally true and would be a funny joke if it wasn't too dark and too true.
#2) "I know she wasn't a threat." Officer Noor's partner, Matthew Harrity.
Quote #2 is out of context, 100% fake news, and is what the Minnesota public is being led to believe was reality in the courtroom. I know it's not, because I've been there, I've been watching this case since before it happened. Let me explain.
Five weeks before Justine Ruszczyk Damond was killed, I began a five part series analyzing a specific bias and blind spot in empathy toward men and the moral taboos about men discussing men's issues.
Julian Assange's Victory
"All this can be considered a victory... by arresting Assange, the empire showed its weakness. By dragging him from the embassy into a police van, it has admitted that it already has begun sewing its own funeral gown..."
Authored by Andre Vltchek: Throughout history, dark and reactionary forces have always attempted to control the world; by violence, by deceit, by kidnapping and perverting the mainstream narrative, or by spreading fear among the masses.
Consistently, brave and honest individuals have been standing up, exposing lies, confronting the brutality and depravity. Some have fought against insane and corrupt rulers by using swords or guns; others have chosen words as their weapons.
Many were cut down; most of them were.
New comrades rose up; new banners of resistance were unveiled.
To resist is to dream of a better world. And to dream is to live.
The bravest of the brave never fought for just their own countries and cultures; they fought for the entire humanity. They were and they are what one could easily define as "intuitive internationalists".
The Orchestration Of Russiaphobia Is The Prelude To War
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: The Russian Embassy in Washington has prepared an accurate 121-page report, THE RUSSIAGATE HYSTERIA: A CASE OF SEVERE RUSSOPHOBIA. https://washington.mid.ru/upload/iblock/3c3/3c3d1e3b69a4c228e99bfaeb5491ecd7.pdf
Everyone should read this report. It documents the fake news, lies, violations of diplomatic standards and international law, and gratuitous aggressive actions taken against Russia during the period beginning May 18, 2016 and continuing through the issuance of the Mueller Report.
Without explicitly saying so, the report shows that neither the US government nor the American media has a nanoparticle of integrity. Both are criminal organizations that are willing to risk war with Russia in their pursuit of narrow politicized agendas.
This is important information for Americans and the rest of the world to have.

Jewish Israel Regime Killed Both Kennedy Brothers
By Laurent Guyénot:
Just after midnight of June 6, 1968, Senator Robert Kennedy was assassinated in a backroom of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. He had just been celebrating his victory at the California primaries, which made him the most likely Democratic nominee for the presidential election. His popularity was so great that Richard Nixon, on the Republican side, stood little chance. At the age of 43, Robert would have become the youngest American president ever, after being the youngest Attorney General in his brother's government. His death opened the way for Nixon, who could finally become president eight years after having been defeated by John F. Kennedy in 1960.
John had been assassinated four and a half years before Robert. Had he survived, he would certainly have been president until 1968. Instead, his vice-president Lyndon Johnson took over the White House in 1963, and became so unpopular that he retired in 1968. Interestingly, Johnson became president the very day of John's death, and ended his term a few months after Robert's death. He was in power at the time of both investigations. And both investigations are widely regarded as cover-ups.
Understanding Violence Against Men: Testicles & Penis Often Targeted
By Author Douglas Galbi: Around the world and throughout history, violence has been predominately violence against men. Communally organized war has long been structured as men killing other men. In the U.S. today, about four times more men than women suffer death from violence. That's not simply because gynocentric society teaches that women's safety is more important than men's safety. Violence against men often specifically targets men's sexuality.

Less than an hour from Lower Mill, at Bourton-on-the-Hill, this 3.5 acre, exquisite garden is a must for topiary lovers. The attention to detail is stunning – round every corner is something beautiful, something creative, but most importantly, something maintained to the highest standard. This is a garden where caring for what has been created is as important as the creative process itself.
Glorious herbaceous borders, stuffed with colourful plants, containers overflowing with clever plant combinations, all combine to delight those whose first love may not be topiary. The small greenhouses are full of container displays and the kitchen garden (parterres, of course) have interesting produce. The garden is set in beautiful countryside, with views and woodland walks as a bonus. A guide is issued to help visitors enjoy the trees.
Bourton House garden is described by its owners as having plenty to delight visitors well into Autumn, when other gardens may be losing their vibrancy. This is certainly fair comment, and September/October are excellent months to visit. The dedication of Bourton's three (yes, just three) gardeners, serves to prolong flowering to its absolute maximum – but the enduring memory is of topiary and more topiary, looking as if clipped only moments ago.
April to end October: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (excluding Easter) 10am to 5pm. Admission £6 (under 16's free).
Tea room and Gift Shop in the Tithe Barn open every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from end May to early September. All cakes are made at Bourton House by Susan and Christine. Cream teas are available for groups if booked in advance.
Bourton House Garden has limited disabled access (60-70%).? Disabled lavatory available.
Bourton House Garden can be reached by public transport on the Johnsons Coaches routes 21 and 22 (no bus on Sunday). Timetables can be found on www.johnsonscoaches.co.uk. Bourton House Garden is 2 miles from Moreton-in-Marsh.

Live Longer and Stronger Mini Challenge 1: Try a New Fruit or Vegetable
by James November 13, 2019 December 20, 2019
written by James November 13, 2019 December 20, 2019
( Womansday) – When it comes to fruits and vegetables, you can never have too much, and the more rainbow-y your repertoire the better.
"Different types of produce offer different health perks thanks to the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants they contain, so the more you vary your picks the healthier you'll be," says Joy Bauer, R.D.N., WD contributor, nutrition expert, and health coach of the 2019 Woman's Day Live Longer and Stronger Challenge.
That's why this month, we challenged the five women who are making over their heart health as part of this year's Live Longer and Stronger Challenge to try a new fruit or vegetable each week. This is the first in a series of mini challenges to help them reach their health goals.
After scouring farmers markets and supermarket produce sections for unfamiliar foods, here are their favorite discoveries. Let their adventurous palates inspire you and you might find something new to love yourself!
"Parsnips are my jam."
Kerri Riggs, 34, of Pensacola, Florida ate fruits and veggies as part of her daily diet, but mostly because "it's what you're supposed to do," and she didn't venture much beyond the handful she knew she liked. But after a pleasant surprise in the form of parsnips, a root vegetable packed with fiber and vitamin C, she's actually excited to eat vegetables now.
Jav Censored "I baked the parsnips, and even though I messed up the recipe a little bit, I was happy to find that they tasted really great," Riggs says. "They're definitely a new staple for me."
She also decided that trying new foods is fun and not as intimidating as she once thought. "I wouldn't have changed things up before, but now I'm more likely to grab a 'weird' fruit or vegetable to try," she says. "The worst thing that happens is I don't like it, and the best case is that I have a new healthy and tasty treat."

"Dinner parties just got prettier … with starfruit."
Marguerita Guerra, 59, of Humble Texas, is a self-professed food lover, which is why it was tough for her to find a fruit or vegetable she hadn't tried before. But after lots of searching, something caught her eye that — shocker — she ended up loving!
"I absolutely love star fruit, which is originally from the Phillipines and is a beautiful star shape when cut," says Guerra. "It was crispy and tasted a little sour and a little sweet."
Star fruit is a refreshing low calorie, low carb, low sugar fruit that's bursting with vitamin C and plenty of fiber if you eat the edible peel. Besides snacking on it raw, Guerra, who also loves entertaining, is already brainstorming how to incorporate it at her next gathering. "I can add it to a vegetable platter, fruit salad, or even to my homemade sangria," she says.
"I fell in love with plumcot."
Rolanda Perkins, 52, of Smyrna, Tennessee, has always loved fruit, and the sweeter the better! So it's no surprise that while she tried some new vegetables that she ended up enjoying (hello, rainbow carrots!), her very favorite new pick was a green plumcot, a cross between a plum and an apricot that's high in vitamin C and fiber.
"I love that the plumcot was firm yet juicy with lots of sweetness," says Perkins. "I've always seen this fruit at the supermarket but never picked it up. Now it's definitely on my list of favorite fruits!"
"I'm a jicama expert now."
Nancy Zarriello, 57, of Seabright, New Jersey, now considers herself "the jicama expert," and her friends and family do too. That's because when she discovered jicama, a crunchy root vegetable with a texture like a potato-apple hybrid, she tried it two ways and fell in love with both. "I've grown fond of that crunch and have become increasingly aware of it in my meals when I eat out," says Zarriello. "I even have family sending me pictures of jicama that they find on menus or in their meals."
While Zarriello enjoys it raw, she (and a few of the other Live Longer and Stronger ladies!) loves to reach for jicama fries, which are baked and seasoned to become a better-for-you version of French fries. "I've really discovered an awareness of and appreciation for food and what I'm putting in my mouth, and I'm really happy about how it helps me make better choices," she says.
"Bok choy helped me like veggies."
Jennifer Shreckengost, 43, of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, has always had a love-hate relationship with vegetables. "I tolerated them and forced myself to eat them but I didn't enjoy them and I stuck to a very small group," she says.
Now, she's slowly growing her veggie portfolio and it all started with bok choy, a.k.a Chinese cabbage, which is packed with vitamins A and C, as well as a bit of calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium.
"I've seen bok choy in many recipes but never tried it; now I'll definitely eat it again! I added it to a chicken stir fry and it gave the dish great flavor," says Shreckengost.

The tossing and turning began yesterday for Brown, the Heat forward, soon after the Knicks tied their first-round playoff series with Miami at one game apiece with a 96-86 victory. Now, the Knicks -- a team that made its fans throw Cheetos at the television in disgust after a Game 1 debacle -- has an opportunity to demolish Pat Riley's season on their hallowed home floor in Games 3 and 4.
''I guess nightmares do come true,'' Brown said ruefully.
People were a tad vicious down here for the first two games of the three-of-five game series, holding up signs with messages like ''The Knicks Need Viagra,'' referring to the impotence drug. A hard-featured woman of maybe 80, wearing a white bonnet, waved a cane at John Starks. Honest. If the fans at Miami Arena could send Chris Childs to the Keys in a leaky inner tube, they would.
But the Garden, now that's venom. If it's not the third-row zealot telling Alonzo Mourning to stop hurting the rim with his shot, it's the New York fan's innate sense of history.
''P. J., you going to pick on little Charlie again?'' Brown heard over and over after he flipped Charlie Ward in last year's playoff series, won by the Heat in seven games.
Riley's teams are pretty good against the world. Miami was 32-9 on the road last season and 25-16 this season, the best in the Eastern Conference each time. Over two seasons, only the current Bulls, the Lakers from 1971-1973 and the 76ers from 1966-68 own better road marks in league history.
But the Heat's last victory at the Garden came last May in Game 6, in front of the most energized New York crowd in recent memory. The day after suspensions depleted the Knicks, the Heat withstood not only mammoth efforts from Starks and Larry Johnson but also the taunts and jeers of more than 19,000 people.
Mourning took the baiting so personally, he unleashed a torrent of profanity at the crowd after dropping in a 3-pointer late in the game. Riley's road warriors walked away with the most significant victory in franchise history and brought the series back to Miami for Game 7.
As big as that victory was, the Heat must deal with the fact that most observers not working for Riley believe the series was handed to them the day the Knicks could not govern their passions in Game 5.
With both teams at equal strength for tomorrow night -- or as equal as you can get when Patrick Ewing is wearing a three-piece suit -- the pressure is on the Heat to deliver at the Garden.
They are coached by the author of ''The Winner Within,'' a man who receives $45,000 a speaking engagement because he has an uncanny knack for motivating people who already seem to have it all.
Riley again has to find a way. Gauging by the verbal gamesmanship yesterday, his players are already creating motivation for the scrum.
Brown was more than miffed when Childs spiked the basketball at the end of the game. He did not see Childs vulgarly pantomime a throat-slitting by bringing his index finger across his neck as he hit a 3-pointer with less than two minutes left. But Brown heard about it.
The celebrating by Starks, Childs and Johnson late in the game ---- they hugged like brothers reunited after being torn apart by war and famine -- also bothered Brown.
Heat forward Jamal Mashburn, the New York native, is taking his Game 3 preparation one step farther, saying the Garden is not a difficult place for a visiting team to play.
''It's a normal place to me,'' Mashburn said. ''People saying the Garden is a tough place to play only say that because they're winning now. I used to go there in the 80's when I was growing up, when no one was following them.
Denial is good. Until Miami pulls out a game in New York, where people suddenly believe in their basketball team again, it is all Riley and his team have left.

Q: PHP: func_get_args performance? I'm about to use func_get_args for reading additional arguments of a function call.
How does this affect the performance? Should I rather use an array for passing additional arguments instead of reading them with the function above?

A:
Should I rather use an array for passing additional arguments instead of reading them with the function above?

Yes, but more for a reason of clarity and code correctness, not so much performance. Example:
function foo($a) { }
foo(); // Warning: Missing argument 1 for foo()

function foo() { list($a) = func_get_args(); }
foo(); //no error

Also, when you see foo($a) you know immediately what to pass.
The only reason to use func_get_args is when you want a function with an arbitrary number of arguments (printf-like).

A: Unless you are using it in mass quantities, no single function will make that much difference. You could always check how long it takes to call by using microtime() before and after the call, but I don't think you'll find anything interesting.
Go ahead and use it if you'd like.
I'd be more worried about making sure other programmers understand how the function works and knowing that they can pass any number of arguments to the function.

A: I don't think your performance will be noticeably different; it really comes down to preference.
"Whatever floats your boat"

A: There are only those 2 possibilities, as far as I know. func_get_args is from my pov the more clean way.
I use this snippet with a parser (func_parameter) heavily to get an extra flexibility. There is just a small performance reduction. Probably not noteable.
It is like the question for performance between double-quote and and single-quote. If you start thinking about it, you should rethink about PHP is the right decision in case of performance.
    $parameter = func_get_args();
    $parameter = $this->func_parameter("key,data,dispense=",$parameter);
    extract($parameter);

A: I ran this code and using a function that uses func_get_args and func_num_args seems more expensive...

Does fear change behaviour?
In 2010 the New York City Department of Health launched a grisly 30-second TV ad (above) aimed at reducing the incidence of HIV amongst men who have sex with men. It showed angst-ridden young men reacting to the words osteoporosis, dementia, anal cancer.
The campaign was extremely controversial in the gay community. Some hated it: "it's sadistic and bullying," said UK-based journalist Gus Cairns. But gay rights activist Larry Kramer loved it: "these nyc department of health public service announcements are in fact not strong enough!"
These comments represent the two extremes of debate over fear-based public health campaigns. Bioethicists, whose work is supported by the pillar of autonomy, criticise them as stigmatising; public health ethicists, who often take a more utilitarian approach, believe that fear saves lives by motivating people to change their behaviour. From the 1950s to the 1970s, the anti-stigma crowd had had the upper hand. The consensus was that fear did not work.
In the 1980s the question became urgent with the HIV/AIDS epidemic. At first there was bitter resistance to using fear-based advertising to encourage young gays to use condoms. However, deliberately stigmatising warnings have been responsible for declines in the incidence of smoking since the mid-1950s.
An on-line first article in the Journal of Medical Ethics this week asked whether it is time to change tack and recognise that fear does "work". Campaigns to decrease consumption of cigarettes and soft drinks by using cringe-inducing images appear to have had an impact. Why not HIV?
"[a meta-analysis in 2015] concluded that fear appeals were effective at positively influencing attitudes, intentions and behaviour; there were very few circumstances under which they were not effective and there were no identifiable circumstances under which they backfired and led to undesirable outcomes…
[T]he long and sometimes bitter debate about the efficacy of fear-based campaigns may be drawing to a close.

New Day Cooks! New Day Cooks! New Day Cooks!


I am writing this post after staying at home with my baby on maternity leave for three weeks.
It makes me feel like I'm already retired early and financial independent (FIRE), at least for the time being.
I don't have to go to work, which makes me feel like I'm retired.
I don't have to worry about money since I still get paid through a combination of short-term disability, parental leave, and sick leave.
In a way, I wonder if this is what it feels like to FIRE. And below are my thoughts on it.
I'm ready to go back to work.
I have to preface this by saying that I love my baby dearly and appreciate the time off to take care of her.
Mr. FAF and I were super happy during the first two weeks despite our lack of sleep and my pain from the birth.
In fact, I had been waiting for my time off maybe one month before the due date.
I was getting tired of commuting to the office for two hours both ways every day with a heavy belly.
I was getting sick of people telling me what to do and pushing their share of the task on me.
I was ready to leave the office, though temporarily, to escape all the boredom and frustration at work.
Yet, here I am, three weeks later, missing that same office, the commute, the desk, and the colleagues I was more than eager to say good-bye to just less than a month earlier.
The other day, Mr. FAF and I took our son and daughter for a walk on the trail I took to commute every day. It brought about an intense nostalgic feeling.
I told Mr. FAF I missed the commute, the podcasts I listened to on the commute, my office, the sense of productivity, and the structured day on the job.
Now I am a new mom whose schedule depends almost completely on a new baby. A day goes by with the repetitive pumping, breastfeeding, and changing diapers.
I know I am nurturing a tiny human being. My job is important, if not indispensable to my baby and our family. Yet, I still feel like I've accomplished nothing after a day is over.
I have a wonderful husband who takes good care of his wife and kids. Mr. FAF eagerly takes over the night shift of taking care of our newborn so that I can recover faster.
Yet, I started to dread it when the night comes. It's when I feel so lonely when I wake up to breastfeed our baby and when she refuses to sleep.
It's when I just sit there with the breast pump, listening to the repetitive sound of the tiny machine in front of me.
When did life become so repetitive? Our baby is growing, and I have her weight and height to show for it. Yet, for some reason, I feel like my life has come to a halt.
During those nights of breastfeeding and trying to calm a fussy baby, I start to feel lonely and desperate.
Why is the baby crying? She doesn't want to breastfeed. I've already changed her diaper. Why is she not sleeping? Those questions pop in and out of my mind every day.
Mr. FAF stays at home with me and the baby for four weeks, but sometimes I feel so lonely. I feel so out of touch with reality. I still check my work email every day to see what's going on in the office.
Someone just left the organization a couple of days after I gave birth. I wonder if she was let go or decided to leave at her own will. I started to miss the interaction with my colleagues.
And there's a reason why I started to crave interaction with other adults. Our baby is too young, and her immune system is not fully developed, so the pediatrician told us not to go out or have people over.
Basically, in order to protect our baby, we should limit going out and meeting other people. Mr. FAF and I still went to a consignment sale and the grocery store two weeks after her birth, but I ended up staying outside in the car since we didn't want our daughter to catch any viruses.
I felt like my life had been turned upside down.
I started to crave the normalcy where our family would go out on the weekends, Mr. FAF and I wouldn't need to worry about our baby staying awake for hours at night, and us going to work every day and coming home to have some fun family time instead of rushing Mr. FAF to go to bed early to do the night shift and me watching the two kids on my own until they fall asleep.
I keep telling myself that our baby will grow soon, and that one day we will be back to our normal life, this time with a new family member.
And in those thoughts, guilt starts to strike me. Am I not totally happy with my baby and our new life? Why do I want to go back to work and leave my daughter at daycare?
Part of me wants my normal life back. But part of me knows that I need to stay at home to take care of my daughter until she's 2.5 months. In a way, I am conflicted.
But I know I don't have postpartum depression this time around (at least not yet). Mrs. Frugalwoods recently wrote about her experience of having post-partum depression and how it's affected her life.
Her post reminds me of myself after I gave birth to Baby F1. I was super stressed out and constantly worried at the time since I wasn't sure if I could finish my Master's program and find a job.
Back then, Mr. FAF was a third-year in his PhD program. In a nutshell, neither of us had a full-time job, and money was tight.
This time, both of us have a full-time job. I also have an excellent employer-sponsored health plan that covers 100% of my delivery costs and costs $0 to add Baby F2. I can't be happier with that arrangement.
I got out of the post-partum depressions after having Baby F1 when I started a full-time internship with health insurance and began working about 2 months after birth.
That internship was like a life savior when I was drifting in the sea, not knowing what would come next. It meant an income, health insurance, and most importantly, peace of mind.
I was still searching for a full-time job, but the fear of running out of money didn't haunt me so badly anymore.
Money. That word sounds so simple. And I know some people don't even care about it. But I do. A lot. Sometimes even too much.
This time, Mr. FAF and I welcomed our daughter into this world without having to stress about finances. We get to stay at home and enjoy our time with her.
In a way, it feels liberating to me not being caught in the 9-5 grind. I feel like I'm FIRE'd. But it also makes me question my purpose in life and whether I'd like to stay at home with my kids full-time.
I don't have any passion projects I want to dedicate myself to 100% yet. Maybe I just need more self-discipline and structure in my life. Maybe it's just this phase when our baby is so young and still needs lot of attention from us.
Whatever the reason is, I think I need to keep searching for my purpose in life so that I won't need to resort to my job to feel a sense of productivity and achievement besides taking care of my family.
Happy to hear that your growing family is doing well after the birth of your daughter – congratulations!
It's tough when you have to change your routine. Hopefully, you'll step back into work schedule with minimal problems. Take it easy and don't stress out too much. You'll have more adult interaction soon. Best wishes.
A lot of women falsify feel that their kids is their purpose but I think it's so wrong. Another person is your responsibility but not a purpose. That's just baggage for the kid. I'm glad that you are independent and not the super attached mom who lives through their kids. It's good to let them grow up and have resilience. That's why a job would be good for parents =) plus the money haha.
What you are expressing is very normal for a large majority of women. You are definitely not alone in these feelings and emotions. These are legitimate feelings that are very much impacted by the hormonal shifts your body is going through post delivery. While you may not have a severe set of PPD it is very likely you are feeling a mild case of the *baby blues*.
This too shall pass. I worked 40hrs a week until I was 35 weeks pregnant with my last pregnancy.. at that time I was written of work to rest until the babies arrived. I was home for 15 days with my 2 year old when my water broke. I resigned from my job 6 weeks after delivery leaving me home with an almost 3 year old, 2 infants and a husband working long hours with a commute to try to make up some of the financial loss. I was anxious, I was overwhelmed, I was EXHAUSTED… I found an amazing outlet with parenting boards on the internet and no doubt being able to connect with someone at any hour of the day or night helped! My babies were born in March so although they were full term and healthy.. we were not going anywhere that was not necessary due to the high number of germs.
Be kind to your self. Take up the neighbor on watching your oldest for a few hours.. get a good nap in, or run a few easy errands with just baby and keep her covered from the public! It will help you feel human again!
Thank you Mrs. FAF for your honest reflections on child rearing. Sadly, I have no experience in this realm. But all the advice provided here strikes me as eminently constructive, especially Jessica's. I'm so happy for you and Mr. FAF. Congratulations on Baby F2. And best of luck as you transition from full-time mommy to full-time person once again. Cheers.
Lily just mentioned that you wrote about maternity leave being like FIRE haha!
CONGRATULATIONS on your new baby girl!!
I was on a whole 14 months of maternity leave + a bit of vacation in there and I'm back at work! I miss being on maternity leave!! I think the optimal balance would be to work part-time.
I don't think you need to feel guilty about not wanting to stay at home. We have enough mom-guilt as it is. I do know what you mean about wanting to be productive. The unstructured-ness is difficult staying at home and the lack of 'freedom' is difficult to adjust to too.
I think the feelings you have feeding your baby are night are completely, completely normal! You're staying up, sleep deprived, and you have the maternal hormones all coursing through you. I don't think I felt normal emotionally until maybe 8 weeks afterwards. The first month was definitely very hard.
Congratulations! Regards to your new baby.
Congrats! It can be a real challenge sometimes but everything finally gets better and it's perfectly normal to feel down when everything changes so much when having a child.

Q: .hover doesn't work when hovered with draggable element Please pardon me for my bad english...
situation:
I've got a menu with submenus.
The submenus open when hovered.
(simple dropdown menu with ul's and li's)
I've got a admin area from which i want to drag something in the menu.
problem:
When I drag something into the menu, it won't collapse, as if the .hover doesn't work
Also the menu is sortable, because of the same problem you can drag subitems to mainmenu, but items from mainmenu can't be dragged to the subitems, because .hover doesn't work and the menu won't collapse.
Is .hover ignored when you drag something onto it?

A: Try replacing the
.hover(function(){},function(){});

with
.live('hover',function(){});
