Is Sign Language Universal? Read Here!
Is Sign Language The Same In All Languages?
Sign language is used in different ways in different countries. For example, some sign languages use hand gestures while others use body movements.
There are many types of sign language around the world.
Some are used as a way for people who are deaf to communicate with each other, while others are used by those who prefer to use their hands rather than their voice to express themselves.
The answer to is sign language universal is, of course, no. Every language has its own unique signs that are specific to that language. The same is true for sign language.
Not all languages express the same meaning with the same gestures. Sign language is a language that uses hand gestures and movements of the body to communicate.
It is a visual language and can be understood by hearing and deaf people alike.
To learn more, just keep reading!
What is Sign Language?
Sign language has been around for centuries, but it wasn't until the early 20th century that it started gaining popularity among different cultures.
Sign language is a system of hand gestures used by the deaf to communicate. It enables deaf people to use their hands to talk, read lips, write, and create drawings.
Deaf people use various combinations of hand and facial expressions and gestures to communicate with each other and to the hearing world.
The American Sign Language (ASL) is the most popular of the various sign languages.
The ASL has developed into a complete system of its own, with its own grammatical rules, its own vocabulary, and its own specific signs, which are used in different situations.
The signs may change and the language, depending on who is teaching the language and what they are teaching.
People who learn sign language use different hand shapes depending on the sign language being taught.
This means that learning one form of sign language does not mean that you will master another.
Types of sign language
There are three main types of sign language, all three languages have different signs and symbols.
ASL is used in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ireland.
Signed English (SE)
SE is used in England and Wales.
British Sign Language (BSL).
BSL is used in the UK.
What are some Signs used in Sign Language?
Many deaf children learn family of sign language at an early age from parents or teachers who have learned it first-hand.
Some schools also teach students how to sign so that they can become fluent later in life once they attend regular classes.
If your child signs before he/she learns any speech, it's important to make sure you're familiar with this new skill.
You should try to understand his/her signing patterns and help him/her develop better communication skills.
However, if your child isn't already using signed language, don't worry too much about it – some kids never really pick up on speaking; instead, they rely solely on sign language.
It doesn't matter whether your child uses spoken language or international sign language – both methods work fine.
There are many signs that can be used when communicating through sign language. Below we'll go over some common ones:
1. Hand shape
Hand shapes vary according to the way the word is pronounced. There are four basic hand shapes that are commonly seen in original language sign.
They include: palm down, palm facing upwards, fist, and open hand.
2. Location of the hands regarding body parts
When making natural sign language motions, there needs to be sufficient space between the body parts involved. This allows someone else to see where the fingers point.
For example, if you want to show that something is inside your mouth, move your index finger towards your chin while pointing to your teeth.
3. Gestures done simultaneously with words
Gestures made during conversations do not always need to come after every single word said.
For instance, when telling a story, you might gesture along with the sentence even though no actual movement occurs.
4. Body movements
Body movements or body language accompany certain types of actions more than others. These include head nods, shoulder shrugs, eye contact, and eyebrow raises.
5. Combinations of these elements
Combining all the above techniques together creates a unique signature for each individual person.
6. Different styles of signing
Signing style includes things like speed, tempo, placement, emphasis, etc. As mentioned earlier, everyone has their own personal style.
7. Fingerspelling
Finger spelling refers to writing out letters by moving only your fingertips rather than fingers. It usually involves touching the tip of your forefinger against the back side of the rest of your fingers.
8. Other gestures
Other gestures include waving goodbye, shaking hands, giving high fives, etc.
9. Emoticons
Emoticons refer to nonverbal expressions such as frowning, smiling, laughing, nodding, etc. Often, people will use emoticons as punctuation within sentences.
How to use sign language?
The best time to learn sign language journey would probably be right at birth. However, most parents aren't aware of this.
They think they have plenty of time until children talk because they assume learning to speak takes place gradually.
This is true, but unfortunately, it's not enough. When trying to communicate with babies who cannot yet talk, teachers often resort to asking questions which require answers from them.
In order to effectively communicate using universal sign language, you need to understand how your brain processes information.
Your brain receives visual images from the eyes through the optic nerve, auditory input via the ear drums, tactile sensations through five senses including touch, taste, smell, temperature, pain, pressure sensitivity, and balance and movement.
You can also receive sensory messages through nerves located in your skin, muscles, joints, and organs. These signals go directly to the central nervous system where our brains process them.
When we see something we want or hear someone talking, we get an immediate message to move towards that object or person. We don't have time to think about why this happens – it's automatic.
Similarly, when you're signing a letter or communicating verbally, your body automatically reacts without thinking about it first. You feel you must respond immediately.
Why Sign Language is important?
Learning Sign Language is Important. There are many benefits to learning sign language:
1. It helps develop independence
2. It promotes socialisation skills
3. It develops communication skills
4. Learning Sign Language makes it possible to interact with the hearing world better
5. It improves memory
6. It enhances self-confidence
7. It opens up opportunities for employment
8. And finally, it improves academic performance
Sign language is not universal, but there are some similarities across the world. It depends on where you are in the world, the people you talk to, your personal experiences and your background.
While there may very well be a common core of gestures and expressions, various cultures and even various deaf communities have their own variations of sign language, much like spoken language.

Since releasing Old School Futuristic last year, you've received critical acclaim from some pretty highly refuted Triple J reviewers, including Max Quinn. How do you think your music has evolved since you dropped Sunset Park in 2012?
My music has gotten a lot better since I dropped Sunset Park a couple of years ago. Conceptually and fundamentally; pairing up Cam Bluff has definitely helped me progress musically because he is so good with the beats; but my song writing and rapping has also improved a lot. My evolution as an artist has evolved through travelling, being exposed to a lot of different types of lifestyles and seeing different cultures.
On one of your most recent tracks you collaborated with Cultra to create 'Here Now'. What was that experience like?
It was a long and fun experience to be honest, I mean Cultra smashed out her hook really quickly one night at M-Phazes' studio (when he wasn't there) I have a friend who works as his studio engineer, so we got to record in there which was cool. But my vocal takes were very grueling! I worked really hard for a couple weeks just to get those verses right! I think I did at least about five hundred takes (no exaggeration) to get it right! but I'm really stoked with how it turns out. I just kept thinking what would Kanye West do. So I just kept working until it was at a place i was super happy with.
What do you think the future holds? Do you see another album in the near future?
The future holds whatever I create and work hard for. I just really want to keep making music people like and building my fan base up; so ultimately I would like to be playing sold out shows to people who love my music.
I have a few projects coming out this year, I gotta drop OSF2 first which is coming really soon then an EP with my Haxx from the electronic group Deja and another project with my other homeboy Tigerilla, who are both super talented so I'm really looking forward to those projects. In short heaps of song writing and rapping..
How do you think Aussie Hip-Hop has changed over the last decade, and what's it been like to be a part of it?
I don't really know how it has changed because I don't really keep an eye on it like that but I guess its becoming more accepted mainsteam Australian music. I can't really speak on it's success/progression of late, because I'm not very tined into what's happening. I know in the past people haven't really vibed with "Aussie hip-hop" but now it feels like people are. When I started, my friends and I were like yeah lets do this and change Aussie hip hop blah blah blah but now i just want to make world class music and foster culture that people can love and relate to.

Fawad-Mahira Starrer 'The Legend of Maula Jatt' Poster Out
ISLAMABAD, (ANI) – The poster and the release date of the much-anticipated Pakistani masterpiece "The Legend of Maula Jatt" directed by Bilal Lashari has been unveiled.
According to Variety, this Punjabi-language remake of Yunus Malik's 1979 cult classic "Maula Jatt" stars Mahira Khan ("Raees") and Fawad Khan ("Ms. Marvel") as Maula Jatt and Mukkho, respectively.
"The Legend of Maula Jatt" is one of the highest-budget movies in Pakistani film history.
The focus of the movie is the legendary rivalry between Noori Natt played by Hamza Ali Abbasi, the brutal gang leader, and local hero Maula Jatt. The story has been reimagined for a global audience by Lashari, whose debut film "Waar" broke box office records in Pakistan.
In foreign markets, the movie is being distributed by Pranab Kapadia of Moviegoers Entertainment and will premiere on October 13.
Actor Fawad Khan said, "It gives me immense pleasure and is an honor to play the role of the legendry Maula Jatt. It was an absolute joy working with the team. I wish us all the very best of luck to all and I hope the audience enjoys it as much as I enjoyed it during the making."
Along with Fawad, Mahira Khan also said, "No matter what project I promote I'm asked about 'The Legend of Maula Jatt.' This was a unique experience for me as an actor, learning to act in a language that I don't know specifically was a challenge that I enjoyed. I believe that great things happen when hard work and patience are combined", as reported by Variety.


Updated: Users say the operating system can reset the default browser and change e-mail configuraion; some call the changes "Microsoft-like."
As more users begin to install and play around with Tiger, Apples Mac OS 10.4, reports are surfacing that the operating system changes some application defaults upon installation.
For example, Tiger can sometimes reset the default browser to Safari, even if a user had set it to Firefox in a past version.
Some users are complaining that the same thing occurs with e-mail programs, as Tiger changes their configuration to Mac Mail.
"The most annoying effect for me was that BBEdit lost all its file associations, of which Id made dozens," said one user, Allen Pike. "However, its not like Apple stole them. Many files reverted back to being associated with Dreamweaver MX."
Other users have groused that the default changes are "Microsoft-like," and given the bad feelings that some Mac devotees harbor toward the Redmond behemoth, the comment is not complimentary.
Some have suspected the configuration changes to be a bug that could be changed in future versions.
The company is investgating the issue, according to an Apple spokesman. "But I can confirm that Apple is not intentionally changing defaults in Tiger," he said late Friday.
Although the general lack of loud uproar from the Mac community could be an indication that Apple users are more forgiving than Microsoft users, it is more likely an illustration of how familiar users have become with technical glitches and default changes.
"Just like Microsoft, Apple sets certain defaults because thats the way the operating system works best," said Jupiter Research analyst Michael Gartenberg.
"If there were something more insidious happening, like Tiger deleting Internet Explorer, then people might have a reason to be paranoid. But as it is, it doesnt seem like theres anything untoward going on."
/zimages/6/28571.gifRead more here about the potential impact of problems with Tiger.
Lack of wider criticism could also be because the issue isnt affecting all Tiger users.
Tim Bajarin, president of analyst firm Creative Strategies, said he installed Tiger at both work and home, and had different experiences with both systems.
The older system, which he had at home, had a few default changes, but Bajarin noted that on his work machines, Tiger asked about default switches before making them.
"I think this might be a matter of different systems reacting in different ways to Tiger," he said. "Some people could have problems, while others will be fine."
Also, the issue is similar to other Apple OS upgrades, so only first-time Mac OS upgraders will be surprised, said Gartenberg.
With the last OS version, Panther, difficulties cropped up with Firewire hard drives, for example.
Editors Note: This story was updated to include information and comments from an Apple representative.

Kubota Canada Announces More Details About Move to Toronto
November 6, 2018 | Posted in Manufacturer News
Source: The Globe and Mail
Kubota Canada Ltd. had to look farther afield to find the space it needed as it ran out of room for its growing head office and warehousing needs.
The tractor and heavy-equipment maker announced it's moving from Markham, Ont., where it's been located since 1975, to a more affordable site in the Pickering Innovation Corridor along Highway 407 in the Durham region at the eastern fringe of Toronto.
"We started looking in Markham, Scarborough and Unionville, but there were few parcels in the 40- to 50-acre range we needed and the pricing was really getting up there," said Bob Hickey, president of Kubota Canada, a subsidiary of Osaka, Japan-based Kubota Corp. The newly developing Pickering land was available for half to two-thirds the cost of sites closer to Toronto.
Rising prices and diminishing supply of big parcels of land are realities driving development of logistics centres and warehouses to the far edges of the Greater Toronto Area, said Mike Czestochowski, executive vice-president of the land services group of CBRE Canada. Despite a moderation of the GTA's single-family housing market, there has been no corresponding decrease in either demand or price of developable land, a new CBRE study has found.
The study says prices paid for raw land and the annual volumes of sales have nearly tripled in the GTA over the past decade. In the first half of 2018, the average price for a single acre of raw low-density land, which is used for single-family and semi-detached homes, surpassed an average of $1-million for the first time. A decade ago, that same acre cost $382,000. Prices of serviced high-density land for condominium and rental apartments and commercial use have also more than doubled in the same decade.
Demand for big plots of residential and commercial land is also far outpacing supply. "Companies are looking further afield, simply because they need the contiguous land that's getting difficult to find in mature areas with developed infrastructure," such as Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan, abutting Toronto, Mr. Czestochowski said.
"The biggest growth in industrial space today is what we nickname 'big bomber' spaces: large logistical warehouses that service the online shopping phenomenon. In order to accommodate them, we need bigger parcels of open land than is available in Toronto or its immediate suburbs. We're seeing them go further out, to Milton, Brampton and Durham region," he added.
"The big bombers are a phenomenon of the past decade, due to companies contracting out logistics and warehousing. Items that are manufactured overseas are delivered by ship and transported by rail and road to logistic warehouses. Because of that, logistic warehouses need to be near rail and a major highway."
These developments can have huge footprints. For instance, a 500,000-square-foot logistical warehouse will have more than 11 acres under its roof (there are 43,560 square feet in an acre), plus additional land needed for access and parking.
It's a phenomenon that's happening in metropolitan areas across Canada. "Today, an international company won't just look only at Toronto, they'll look at several cities and weigh costs of shipping, access to highways and where their employees are located," Mr. Czestochowski said.
Calgary has seen a surge in commercial logistics development this year after a relative lull in 2017, with much of the activity being in the city's periphery. CBRE stats show there were almost four million square feet of new industrial space under construction in the third quarter of 2018, the largest since the first quarter of 2015. A notable new addition is a 600,000-square-foot Amazon fulfilment centre in Balzac, 24 kilometres north of Calgary.
In the Vancouver area, growing container volumes at the Port of Vancouver have led to increased demand for logistics facilities, but there's a shortage of available land in the region that's hemmed in by the mountains, Mr. Czestochowski said. A big new Amazon logistics centre was located in New Westminster. "There's going to be continued strength in the price of land there, because there won't likely be an oversupply."
And in Montreal, after the opening of a new container terminal at the Port in Montreal, developers are looking for land further away from the main island as available land in serviced areas is in short supply, a recent CBRE North America Logistics and Seaports report found. Permit applications have increased, but much of the proposed development is not yet under construction.
Meanwhile in the GTA, Kubota is thinking even bigger. "We bought more land than we initially need, but we're planning to have the capacity to continue to expand," Mr. Hickey said. The company's warehousing needs have doubled in the past seven years with acquisitions of other companies and new product lines, including farm and loading equipment.
It purchased 50 acres of land – an increase from the 20 it owned and leased at its current location on the east side of Markham. The company is building a 500,000-square-foot warehouse in Pickering, plus an additional 65,000 square feet of head office space in its first phase, due to open in 2020. But future phases could see the campus expand to more than a million square feet, along with additional testing, training and logistics facilities, Mr. Hickey said.
The site is part of the Pickering Innovation Corridor, which comprises 800 acres of formerly provincially owned land along Highway 407 between York-Durham Townline Road and Brock Road. The province sold the city the strip of land, which was part of a large parcel of land being held for a potential airport. An extension of 407 has made the area a more attractive site for commercial development and the airport development is still a possibility.
How much further can industrial spread in the GTA go? Mr. Czestochowski sees Bowmanville and Clarington to the east and Halton, Peel and Durham regions as having potential for future logistics development.
Beyond that, there's the greater Golden Horseshoe, Hamilton and St. Catharines. "We haven't seen much logistics growth in those outer areas yet, but that may be the new frontier," he said.
KUBOTA CANADA'S NEW PICKERING FACILITY
Area: 565,500 square feet, with the possibility of increasing to 1,000,000 square feet in the future.
Investment: Approximately $67-million for the land and building.
Workforce: Kubota Canada plans to grow to 250 employees by 2027 from 190 currently.
Construction start: Spring of 2019.
Move in: Summer of 2020.

Q: Efficient Adapter implementation I have in my code two types for Adapter implementations and I'm not sure which one is better.
Here is my updater pattern:
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    Updater content;
    if(convertView == null) {
        final TextView msg = new TextView(parent.getContext());
        content = new Updater() {
            public void update(...) {
                // code to update the control msg
            }
        };
        convertView = msg;
        convertView.setTag(content);
    } else {
        content = (Updater)convertView.getTag();
    }
    content.update(...);
    return convertView;
}

// ...

private interface Updater {
    void update(...);
}

And here is my ViewHolder pattern:
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    ViewHolder holder;
    if(convertView == null) {
        convertView = inflater.inflate(...);
        holder = new ViewHolder(convertView);
        convertView.setTag(holder);
    } else {
        holder = (ViewHolder)convertView.getTag();
    }
    holder.setData(...);
    return convertView;
}

// ...

private class ViewHolder {
    public final TextView text;

    public ViewHolder(final View owner) {
        text = (TextView)owner.findViewById(R.id.text);
    }

    public void setData(...) {
        // ...
    }
}

I'm wondering which one is more effency? I could also implement the Updater interface in a more complex control, so it is simpler to update differnt controls in a common way. So I could just cast the convertView to my interface without using getTag(). But in the code above I use a final variable which is defined outside of my interface implementation. Can somebody tell me if this can make performance problems? I don't know what happens internal in java with a final variable.
If my updater pattern is bad please tell me, why I should use the ViewHolder pattern except that this pattern is from Google IO.

A: Decisions like this have almost no effect on performance. Both solutions are equally efficient. The final keyboard may actually increase performance by allowing the compiler to make certain optimizations, but they will be certainly unoticeable.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan tops the list among the Indian actresses, followed by Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone.
Three Bollywood actresses- Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have found a spot in the list of world's most admired women. The list has been devised on the basis of an annual survey conducted by YouGov. Hollywood diva Angelina Jolie tops the list for the second time in two years. The top 20 list consists of names of popular celebrities from the world of entertainment, politics and activism.
The YouGov website states, "The Results are calculated from the combination of responses to two questions – whether a respondent admires the figure at all and then whether they are the figure the respondent admires the most." Each country's results are then weighed against the country's population size.
37,000 people took part in the survey representing 35 countries. Among the Indian women, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan topped the list. She comes at number 11 followed by Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone, who are placed at number 12 and 13 respectively. It is the first time for three of them to be featured on the list.

A tiny Future World Pin.
I know know why, but EPCOT has always been my favorite park. Perhaps it's because it's the first park I can truly remember visiting. Perhaps it's because I adore the Food & Wine Festival. Perhaps it's because it's where I met Dreamfinder and then Figment ate my hair. Perhaps it's because it's where my all-time favorite ride, Horizons, was. Do NOT get me started on what the loss of Horizons has done to me. Perhaps it's because I got to be an honorary member of the World Showcase Players at United Kingdom. Perhaps it's because Italy almost always has really attractive men working in its restaurants and shops. Regardless of the reason, EPCOT is my favorite and as such I tend to collect EPCOT memorabilia - namely, memorabilia from what I consider the golden age of EPCOT, more commonly known as the 80's.
My story begins in 1987. For those of you who are not old enough to remember the parks in the 80's, well first of all, you make me feel old, but secondly, you really missed out on something special. 1987 was momentous in that it was my first voyage to the World and ergo, my indoctrination to the Disney way of life. It was back before Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom existed. It was when if you wanted to have some water park fun, you didn't go to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach, but you headed to River Country. It was when Downtown Disney was known as Village Marketplace. It was before the days of Magical Express, Photopass or Fastpass so you had rental cars, 35mm cameras, and waiting in lines. It was when you could find Mickey and the gang wandering around EPCOT wearing some really groovy silver and rainbow spacesuits.
The World was celebrating its 15th anniversary in 1987, and decided to reward the guests with prizes every 15 seconds ranging from free sodas to hats to cars. Upon entering through the turnstiles of EPCOT, my family awaited our surprises. I remember being super excited to have won a pin! I was 7 - what was I going to do if I won a car?! But a pin? - Whoa! It would look super cool on my jean jacket and that was pretty radical to me.
Not only does that little pin embody a whole lot of feelings of nostalgia for me, but it also started me on my modest collection of EPCOT memorabilia. I've always been a fan of souvenirs and a bit of a packrat, so I already had quite a bit of tings that I kept from vacations past. I have two Figment stuffed animals, from when Journey Into Imagination was a truly great ride and Imageworks was full of fun things to experience like blue screen technology! Whoa! Hey, in 1988 - that was a technological marvel! I have a Donald plush from Mexico, complete with poncho and sombrero and a Minnie plush from Japan in a lovely kimono. I even had a Fuzzball plush from Captain EO, but sadly I have misplaced him over the years. I have a ticket from that first trip. I have a keychain from World Showcase with Mickey in Australia. Hmm... But there is no Australian pavilion in World Showcase. Interesting, no? I have a vintage EPCOT keychain on my car keys (along with about 4 other Disney keychains). Thanks to the wonder of eBay, I currently have a vintage EPCOT CENTER decal on the back window of my car (best $5 ever spent!).
I have no clue as to the value of my little pin (I saw one on eBay for $50), but to me it is truly priceless. I never wear it, both for fear someone would want to buy and/or trade it and because if I ever lost it, I would be pretty heartbroken. It embodies the feeling of wonder I experience as I saw Spaceship Earth for the first time (I still miss the Walter Cronkite version). It reminds me of all the memories that I have from that unforgettable first trip.
So sometimes it's not the biggest or even the most expensive souvenirs that can mean the most to someone. Not all treasures can be measured in money. Some are truly priceless.

"How do you cook clams?" is a question I've heard a lot from home cooks over the years so let's get a few things straight: Clams are amongst the cheapest, tastiest, quickest- and easiest-to-cook seafood. They're also resoundingly sustainable (you can do much worse with shrimp if you're going the shellfish route). They help clean the ocean, they fortify us with minerals and omega-3's, and they're commonly found on restaurant plates. Especially with pasta. But you can have that at home easily, too.

Q: difference between os._exit() and os._exit(1) when multiprocessing pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=multiprocessing.cpu_count())
test_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]

for number in test_list:
    pool.apply_async(func=test_quit, args=[number, ])

pool.close()
pool.join()

when i call os._exit(), the program terminate successfully
def test_quit(number):
    if number == 1:
        print("1 should exit")
        os._exit()

but when i use os._exit(1), the program is still working.
def test_quit(number):
    if number == 1:
        print("1 should exit")
        os._exit(1)

so whats the difference of this two func, why os._exit(1) can not stop the program

A: os._exit() throws a TypeError because it's not a valid use (_exit's argument is mandatory), and thereby engages multiprocessing's error-handling machinery.
os._exit(1) stops the specific process you're in, but because you're using multiprocessing, your program consists of multiple processes, so stopping the one process does not stop the whole program. (This is one of the ways in which multiprocessing is different from multithreading in practice).

If there was one book that really stimulated in me the curiosity of trying new recipes and experiment this was definitely the Cioccolato book from Slow Food. Sorry, not on sale anymore. It was released some 5 years ago as an attachment to an Italian journal, Il Corriere della Sera. It was the first volume of a series of 25, all featuring one ingredient and containing some 180 recipes based on that ingredient. So, in this book, which I still treasure, there was basically everything you can make with chocolate, from the most traditional Italian dessert, expanding to world recipes.
Now. Do you remember in the About us the funny story about me cooking chestnut honey biscuits, and Desirée enjoying them dipped in CocaCola? It wasn't a joke. It really did happen. The recipe is from this book, just little bit personalized by me: mainly I added the honey, which I find gives a marvelous after-taste and goes perfectly with the dark chocolate.
I personally enjoy this funny looking biscuits with milk, but I'm sure someone (hint: it's a female author of this blog and it's not me) would disagree!
What makes this little treats interesting is the final step: rolling them over icing sugar. Once baked it creates a fine coating (that makes them look like stones, even though they're actually very soft!) and taste, little bit caramelized.
Melt the chocolate with the butter at a very low heater.
When ready, add caster sugar and mix.
Add the egg, the honey and the vanilla sugar to the mixture.
In another bowl, sieve flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the dough and mix well.
Prepare small balls of dough (a teaspoon big) and roll them in icing sugar.
Put some baking paper on a baking tray and place the raw biscuits some cm far from each other.
Beautifully presented. We can always get behind anything made out of chocolate. Looking forward to trying the recipe.
Thank you so much! Nice to have you here and let us know if you try to make the biscuits and how they turn out!

Ингрид Перссон (, 29 мая 1912 — 22 октября 2000) — шведская священница. Одна из трёх первых священниц Швеции, рукоположенных в клир.

Биография
Ингрид Ханна Маргарета Перссон родилась в семье землевладельцев Йона и Хильдегарды Перссонов. В 1930 г. она окончила школу в Гётеборге, в 1931 г. сдала экзамены по теологии и философии, которые позволили ей обучаться богословию и греческому языку. После обучения в Университете Уппсалы она в 1936 г. получила степень бакалавра теологии.

Ингрид работала учительницей, а затем секретарём в женской молодёжной христианской организации (Kristliga förening av unga kvinnor, KFUK), с 1939 г. была секретарём по делам молодёжи в Хернёсандской епархии, начала самостоятельно читать проповеди во время воскресных служб. В 1949 г. она стала рукоположенным дьяконом.

В 1958 г. Парламент Швеции принял закон об ординации, позволивший женщинам быть рукоположёнными в клир и становиться пасторами и епископами. Ингрид Перссон приняла предложение архиепископа Гуннара Хультгрена стать женщиной-епископом, прошла необходимое обучение, и в 1959 г. её назначили священником в Лунде — в Уппсале не получилось, поскольку идея назначать священниками женщин не встретила понимание местного духовенства. 10 апреля 1960 г. три первые женщины — Ингрид Перссон, Маргит Сахлин и Элизабет Юрле — были рукоположены в священницы. Ингрид Перссон поддерживала дальнейшее рукоположение женщин в священники и помогала им в этом начинании.

В 1978 году Ингрид Перссон стала женой священника Свена Сёдерлунда. Детей в этом браке не было.

Ингрид Перссон ушла из жизни в 2000 г.

Ra e Gore o Geþa
Ra-e-Gore-o-Getha (Getha Card Contest)
Playing cards have been in use ever since the Arlin omyr learned the art of cartomancy using cards of tattooed and stiffened leather. When the nomads settled around Getha the rules for Ra-e-Gore-o-Getha solidified into their current form.
Gambling establishments use an ante bet to build the pot before any hand is dealt. This practice is less common in informal games. An ante bet is normally the smallest chip, traditionally a quarter hysten coin though some establishments use higher ante bets.
Play starts with the dealer dealing eight cards to each player (including the dealer). If there are only three players then an extra hand is dealt and if there are only two players then two extra hands are dealt so that there are a minimum of four hands.
The players pick up their hands, sort the cards by suit and evaluate the quality. The dealer sets a bring-in bet that each player (including the dealer) must put in the pot in order to remain in the game. The players who remain can discard up to six cards, drawing as many cards as are discarded. All of a player's discards must happen at once: as soon as a replacement card is drawn no additional cards may be discarded.
The hands are evaluated again, selecting two suits to play and setting the other cards aside. Any player can open betting, declaring the amount of their bet and adding it to the pot. The other players then either fold, see the bet (adding the amount to the pot), or raise the bet (adding the amount to the pot). Once a player has bet they cannot do so again unless another player raises the bet, at which point the player can fold, see the raised bet (adding to the pot), or raise the bet again (adding to the pot). A player can go "all in" by adding their entire stake which allows them to stay in the hand no matter how high the bet goes.
A player wins the pot if all other players fold. Otherwise the winner is determined as follows:
Each player who is still in the game plays their cards face up on the table. If an arl is played then any cards of that suit that have been played, or are held in reserve, or in folded hands, or in extra hands (those dealt when there are fewer than four players) join the arl. However, discarded cards remain out of play. If a player loses a suit due to an arl then, if possible, he must play another suit from his reserve cards so that he has two suits in play. If this results in another arl being played then any cards of the same suit that have been played, held in reserve, are in folded hands, or are in extra hands join the arl. Any time a player has less than two suits played he must play another suit from his reserve cards if possible. This continues until all arl cards in play have been resolved.
If a player's played cards include an arlas then any other player who does not have a deiskatun in their played hand must drop out. If only one player remains they are the winner, otherwise battles ensue. Only the alak and number cards figure in these battles. The hands are ranked by the number of alak in them, with ties in alaks broken by the number of number cards, and ties in number of cards by the total value of the number cards. Battles are then fought in order of the highest ranked to lowest with the loser of a battle dropping out and the winner proceeding to the next lower ranked hand.
For example, if hand A has two alak and two number cards, hand B has one alak and three number cards, hand C has one alak and five number cards and hand D has no alak and seven number cards then they are ranked A, C, B and D. A will battle C, with the winner battling B, and that battling fighting D.
In each battle an alak removes another alak from consideration. If the other hand does not have an alak then it removes the highest value number card from consideration. The remaining number cards are then totaled with the highest total winning. A hand with only alak and no number cards can only win if the alak remove all number cards from the opposing hand. In the event of a tie both players drop out.
For example, if hand A has two alak, a five and six, hand B has one alak, two sixes and a five, hand C has one alak, an eight, a seven, a four, a two and a one while hand D has two eights, two sevens, two sixes and a five then the match ups occur in order of A, C, B and D because A has the most alak and C has more number cards than B while D has no alak at all. When comparing hand A to hand C, the alak in hand A remove the alak and the eight in hand C from consideration. This leaves hand A with 5 + 6, or 11 points and hand C with 7 + 4 + 2 + 1, or 14 points — hand A drops out and hand C is matched up against hand B. In this case the alak remove each other from consideration leaving hand B with 6 + 6 + 5, or 17 and hand C with 8 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1, or 22. Hand B drops out and hand C is matched up against hand D. The alak in hand C removes one eight in hand D from consideration. This leaves hand C with 8 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 22 and hand D with 8 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 6 + 5, or 39, making hand D the winner.
Yamiro
Of uncertain origin, this game developed a great popularity among mercenaries during the Warring States period who then spread it throughout the Misty Sea. The goal of yamiro is to defeat an opponent through a war fought through various engagements. It is difficult to win every battle and winning the war is as much about picking which battles to lose, and how to lose them, as it is about winning engagements.
Starting with a shuffled deck each player is dealt four cards. These form the resources available to the player and are constantly replenished: each time a card is played a new card is drawn from the pile to replace it. Hands are played with each player alternating going first. Traditionally the dealer is the defender in the first hand so the other player goes first. A hand consists of four cards played by each player. A player must play a card on their turn, they cannot skip over or yield their turn. So a hand ends when the defending player plays their fourth card.
At the end of the hand the cards are counted to see who won that hand. Number cards are worth their face value and added together to give a total for the rank-and-file troops. If at least one alak is played then the total is doubled, and if—in addition to the alak—at least one arl has been played then the total is doubled a second time. There is no benefit to playing two alak or two arl, or even playing an arl without an alak. The highest score is achieved by playing two eight cards, an alak and an arl giving a score of 64.
However, regardless of the score, the first player to play an arlas wins the hand. Unless the opposing player plays a deiskatun. In that case the second arlas played wins the hand (one deiskatun cancels one arlas), unless the opposing player played a deiskatun, and so on for each arlas-deiskatun pair. Thus if the attacking player plays two arlas then the defending player must either play two deiskatun, or play a deiskatun and an arlas, with the arlas played before the attacking player's second arlas.
Four Player Yamiro
Two teams of two players with the players in a team sitting opposite one another. The dealer deals four cards to each player. The player to his left starts the first hand, the player to their left (the dealer's partner) starts the second hand, the player to their left starts the third hand and the dealer starts the fourth hand. Only four hands are played.
The starting player plays a card then draws a card, followed by the player on their left, until all players have played four cards. The cards are counted by team to determine which team wins the hand. If a team plays at least one alak then their card total is doubled, and if they play at least one alak and at least one arl then their card total is doubled again.
However, regardless of the score, the first player to play an arlas wins the hand for their team. But one deiskatun cancels one arlas. So if the opposing team played a deiskatun the second arlas played wins the hand unless the opposing team played a deiskatun, and so on for each arlas-deiskatun pair.
The winning team captures the opposing team's hand, adding it to their capture pile and discarding their own hand. In the event of a tie both hands are discarded.
Once all four hands have been played the capture piles are counted. When counting captures, number cards are worth their face value while face cards are always worth eight points.
Solitaire Yamiro
Although the strategy of the game comes from playing against a second player, a single player game can be managed by dealing four cards for the player. Each hand starts by turning over the top card of the deck. The player then plays a card, turns over the top card of the deck and draws a card, a total of three times. For the fourth and last card in the hand the player turns over the top card of the deck and plays a card. Victory is determined normally with the winning hand discarded and the opposing hand captured.
This is repeated until eight hands have been played. The goal isn't to just win (which is fairly easy as there is no opposing strategy), but to win by the greatest margin.
Somaci
Somachi
Another game of uncertain origin, this game is favored by sailors and is thus played throughout the Misty Sea. Unlike Yamiro or Getha the hands can vary greatly in length as players try to go out.
Deal four cards to each player. Starting with the player to the left of the dealer, each player takes a turn. If a player has an alak or arl then they can play a single card (either an alak or an arl) and draw a single card, otherwise they stand. Once each player has either played or stood regular play starts.
On their turn, each player draws one card and must either play or discard one card. They can either draw from the deck or the top card on the discard pile. However, if they draw from the discard pile they must either play or discard a different card — drawing from the discard pile and discarding that same card is not allowed. During their turn a player may add any cards to a played alak or arl, either their own or another player's.
When an arl is played, any other played card of that suit goes to the player's hand. This includes the top card on the discard pile, with the arl collecting from the discard until a different suit is encountered.
A player with an arl played can collect from the discard pile out of turn — for example when another player discards a card of that suit. However, this claim can only be done while the card is on the top of the pile. Once another card has been discarded on top of it the card can no longer be collected (unless it once again becomes the top card, either because of other players drawing from the discard pile or collecting cards from it).
An arlas can be played against another player to remove all cards of that suit that have been played — unless the other player has played a deiskatun in that suit or has one in his hand in which case it can be played out of turn to prevent the loss of his cards. Removed cards are returned to the bottom of the deck, including the arlas that was played.
Play ends when a player has no cards remaining in their hand. Each player then tallies their played number and alak cards (including any cards another player played on them). The player with the highest score wins the hand. Running tallies of all players' score in all hands are kept with the highest tally winning the game.
Note that adding or collecting cards is never counted as playing a card. When another player has played an alak, a player may add a card of the same suit to that alak. When another player has played an arl, a player may either add a card of the same suit to that arl or discard the card. In the former case the player must still either play or discard a card (allowing him to remove cards from his hand) while in the latter case the other player may claim the discarded card.
After each hand the players' cards are removed from play. When the deck runs out the discard pile (excepting the top card) and cards that have been removed from play are reshuffled so as to allow play to continue.
Kupi o Dotak
Kupi-o-Dotak
This is a bare-bones solitaire game that is simple to play and allegedly devised by the philosopher Mari-o-Mari for children to while away the time — though in practice it is more of an adult game. Although on the surface it is not particular to Railog playing cards without the eight suits it would not be the game that it is. It works by having four cards to choose from with the goal being to play them in as few piles as possible. A card is played onto another card of the same suit or rank, or is used to start a new pile. After a card is played a new card is drawn so that (until no more cards are left to be drawn) there are always four cards to choose from. Play ends when the last card is played. The game is scored by the number of piles that have been played. A game with more than seven piles always loses. A game with only six piles is fairly easy to accomplish while a game resulting in only four piles is difficult.
The strategy lies in minimizing the number of piles that are made based on the cards that have been played and the cards available to play. Because cards are played into piles so that the last card played covers the other cards in a pile the player must use their memory as to the cards already played. Selecting a card to play should be done so as to maximize the opportunities that are left to play the remaining cards.
