As it come so near to me i saw back and i was shacked when i see the name! it was Skoda Octavia!! I had never seen such a car before! Even not in Surat, my mother town. When i searched on net i found that its a Skoda Octavia Combi!! But it was bit confusing with RS version.
I dont know whether the person imported it in Gujarat or he got it locally. But it was looking so great...!! I wish to own one in future!! :-)
Skoda Laura RS Version :: Soon..
Ahh... Skoda is my favorite Car Brand for India. Skoda has given a great range of its cars which include Skoda Fabia, Skoda Octavia, Skoda Laura and Skoda Superb!!

New 3 Electric Vehicle From Ultra Motors
Ultra Motor, UK based electric bikes manufacturing company tied up for the launch of 3 electric vehicles in India in few years. They want to cover up the electric bike market India. Though the electric bikes in India are not much popular and they have small market for it! Hike in petrol price may increase the sale of such electric vehicles.
Hero is the one that also produce electric vehicles in India. They are chose because of low maintenance, low money to spend over every trip compare to petrol engined bikes.
New three vehicles include on high-speed model and other two cost-efficient models. Last year they had sold about 24,000 units of its vehicles and now in 2009-10, company targeting to achieve 50,000 sales figure for its vehicles!

100 Thieves acquire gaming peripherals brand Higround
Published: 13/Oct/2021 15:48 Updated: 13/Oct/2021 17:25
by Adam Fitch
North American esports organization, media company, and apparel brand 100 Thieves have made their first-ever acquisition, purchasing gaming peripherals company Higround.
100 Thieves have made a name for themselves largely through tapping into 'hypebeast' culture, building excitement and anticipation for limited edition apparel collections.
They've now made their first acquisition, taking on Higround in a move that shows they're sticking to these roots. The company are known for making custom gaming peripherals, such as keyboards, and they recently collaborated with Apple's Beats on a limited range of branded products.
Teased on social media on October 12, this business move was first reported by The Verge. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Welcome @Higround to 100 Thieves!
Higround is a lifestyle brand whose unique keyboards sit at the intersection of peripherals, collectibles, and gaming culture. Higround is our first-ever acquisition & we're excited to help them build for years to come.#100T #LookBetterUpHere pic.twitter.com/c7KOlWVCXH
— 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) October 13, 2021
While 100 Thieves made $2.5m in the first month of their Foundations apparel line, a collection that's always available for purchase, it's apparent that the org aren't steering away from their exclusive approach to products.

It's reported that while 100 Thieves will own Higround, the peripherals brand will operate as an independent outfit. "We don't want to take over their identity, we don't want to go too far deep into 100 Thieves injecting its DNA into Higround," 100 Thieves founder and CEO Matthew 'Nadeshot' Haag told The Verge.

"From my perspective, unless you're a keyboard enthusiast, if you're a casual gamer and you go to the store, there are only like two products that are offered: a black keyboard and a white keyboard," Haag said.
"And there are a lot of brands that I have a ton of respect for, but I still think that there's room in the market for there to be a marquee brand that everybody gravitates towards because of the stories that they tell and the image that they portray."

Can Gael Garcia Bernal play violin?
For Bernal, one of the more challenging aspects of playing Rodrigo is having to play, or at least imitate playing, the violin. Like Dudamel, Rodrigo studied the violin before making the transition to the conductor's podium. " The violin is the only instrument that you can't pick up when you get older," the actor said.
Is Mozart in the Jungle accurate?
While the web series might appear outlandish, it is actually based on oboist Blair Tindall's salacious tell-all memoir Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs and Classical Music, which chronicles her life spent as a freelance musician and substitute for the New York Philharmonic during the 1980s and 1990s.
Is Mozart in the Jungle a true story?
"Mozart in the Jungle" is inspired by the 2005 nonfiction book by Blair Tindall that provided an unflattering account of drugs and sexual debauchery in the classical-music profession. Amazon's pilot dramatizes some of Tindall's racy scenarios.
What is Blair Tindall doing now?
She is working on a show about her life. Nothing else has been said about the travel series since, but Tindall's LinkedIn profile says she still is working on it. "Today she's combining her training and experience to create a new travel television show, "Where's Blair? Trekking the World Music Beat," her bio reads.

We offer a wide range of volunteer projects in Africa, but which is the one for you? Things to consider are the category in which you want to volunteer, e.g. conservation or social volunteering. The region in which the project is located might also be a factor. Minimum age, minimum duration and travel budget are further things to keep in mind.
South Africa, Namibia and Botswana are countries where there are many volunteer projects where you can make a real difference. Yet at the same time in those countries there are many projects where you can make a real difference, yet at the same time those countries offer a certain level of infrastructure, security and stability, which is difficult to find elsewhere in Africa. So if you would like to volunteer in Africa, but you have never been to Africa before, or if you have only limited experience of third world travel, then South Africa, Namibia and Botswana are good places to choose.
Is it important for you to be close to a large city with lots of interesting things to do in your free time? If so, look at the volunteer projects in Cape Town and volunteer projects around Cape Town. On the other end of the spectrum there are volunteer projects in the Kruger Park area and in other areas of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. At these projects your focus will be almost entirely on the volunteering. Larger cities or other places of interest are often far away. A good compromise between the two are our volunteer projects along the Garden Route. The Garden Route is a beautiful coast line popular with local and international tourists. The area is well known as a surfing hotspot and ideal for many other great outdoor sports.
Volunteer categories that allow you to make a big impact are nature conservation, social volunteering and medical volunteering.
However we also offer other categories like a farm stay at a South African farm that allows you to learn how to grow organic food. Or you can choose an adventure that includes fun and action but allows you to learn more about nature or society in Southern Africa. These projects you find under voluntourism.
You don't need to pay to volunteer, but you do need to pay for food, accommodation, transfers, supervision, organisation and so on. You can compare the costs for each project using our price list. We offer volunteer projects for every travel budget. Our prices are package prices. Details of what's included can be found in the project details. Depending on the project, you can expect additional costs for food and activities during your free time.
We offer volunteer projects which allow you to have maximum impact, like entertaining children from poor communities in a hospital and on the other end we offer scuba diving courses that increase your understanding and awareness of nature but will not give you a chance to make much of a difference in nature conservation. The extent of your impact is indicated through heart symbols in the project descriptions.
We provide detailed descriptions of what the project is doing. Give it a good read and decide whether you like what the project is doing and whether you think it's worth receiving your support.
In the project details, you will also find a detailed description of the volunteers' role. Although your job might differ depending on your skills and the project's needs, it will still give you a good idea of what your role will be.
Tell us about your preferences and expectations, and we can advise you on which project is best suited to your needs.
Good Hope Volunteers offers you currently almost 40 volunteer projects in South Africa and Namibia.

Brian Urlacher took a step closer to being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he was named one of 27 semifinalists for the Class of 2018.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the list of semifinalists Tuesday night with Urlacher one of six first-time nominees to make the cut along with middle linebacker Ray Lewis, wide receiver Randy Moss, guard Steve Hutchinson, cornerback Ronde Barber and defensive lineman Richard Seymour.
The 48-person selection committee whittled down the original list of 108 modern-era nominees. This list of 27 will be reduced to 15 finalists in January before voting takes place on Feb. 3 on the eve of Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis.
Urlacher spent his entire 13-year career with the Bears at the center of what was one of the best defenses in the NFL. He was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2005 and was the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2000. He led the Bears to four division titles and one Super Bowl appearance. He recorded 41 ½ sacks and 22 interceptions in his career and was first team All-Pro four times and selected to eight Pro Bowls.
Lewis is a good bet to be inducted in his first year and Urlacher's credentials are strong. Only two linebackers to complete their careers during the 2000's have been enshrined in Canton to this point — Junior Seau and Derrick Brooks. One other linebacker made the semifinalist list, Denver's Karl Mecklenburg.
The remaining semifinalists are defensive linemen Leslie O'Neal, Simeon Rice and Richard Seymour, defensive backs Ronde Barber, Ty Law, Everson Walls, Steve Atwater, LeRoy Butler, Brian Dawkins and John Lynch, offensive linemen Tony Boselli, Alan Faneca, Steve Hutchinson, Joe Jacoby and Kevin Mawae, wide receivers Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Terrell Owens and Hines Ward, running backs Roger Craig, Edgerrin James and coaching candidates Don Coryell and Jimmy Johnson.


This is an officially licensed premium clear sticker with white printing, simply pull of the package and stick to the window of your car! We recommend you clean the car window before applying. Outdoor weather rated, please apply at temps above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Feature: Maggie stands approx. 2.5" tall when applied. Also looks great on notebooks, binders, and laptops!

Thank you for the life preservers you continued to throw out to me this week, when I was drowning. Thank you for attempting to reel me into safety, even though I kept losing hold. Thank you for throwing out one after the other to me anyway. Thank you for waiting, calm and patient, for not giving up on me, even if I was close to giving up on myself.
Now that I am on dry land, I see how you held me there, hoping I would just allow the waves, that felt so frightening, to soothe me, trying to show me how at moments, I let them.
Thank you for showing me that my girls night out that I decided to miss, ended up being a beautiful gift for two of my friends to share, to help them connect in a deeper way, and how they were able to go, and bring much wisdom back for me from their time together, and from the author they met.
Thank you for helping me make the right call to stay home, so that I could be there with my very sick little one, who really needed her mommy.
Thank you for the beautiful phone calls from my mother, that comforted me, and kept me aware of a window of love I could look through to find peace.
Thank you for my sweet friend, Julia, who took time out of her precious time to bring me my favorite teas and a delicious loaf of pumpkin bread, who took the time to call me and talk on the phone even when her family was needing her.
Thank you for my forgiving children, who saw some of the best and worst of their mother this week.
Thank you for the moment when I was able to finally take good hold of the life preserver, when I felt myself lifted up onto dry land; when I felt that my presence was needed in this world.
Thank you for shining light on me, and alleviating my guilt in so many ways: the film "Evening" where a woman was talking to her dying mother, and telling her that she wanted her to know before she died, how differently she thought of her after having her own kids--realizing that she couldn't help but make mistakes with her kids, even when she knew that she was doing the best she could. When she said she wondered, not if her children would remember her mistakes, but which ones they would remember.
Thank you for reminding me that I am not alone wanting to feel like a good mother, and feeling that I fall short.
Thank you for the moment in the beauty supply store, when the young store clerk recognized me, as the woman who had reached out to the woman who was feeling ugly, and who told me how wonderful I'd been to that woman. (see Dear Darling Soul) Thank you for that message, when I wasn't feeling so sure that I'd ever done any good.
Thank you for the chance to eavesdrop on her conversation with the other store clerk, who was apparently new, as they commiserated about their broken families, and their broken mothers, feeling their mothers could have been so beautiful, if they'd only taken ahold of the life preservers meant for them.
Thank you for the recognition that these two young women, with their similar stories, had come together for a reason, and that in their healing, they might find a way to see their mothers lives with much purpose, and with less pain.
Thank you for the wisdom this held for my own mothering.
Thank you for the recognition of the woman/grocery clerk, who looked sadder than I have ever seen, who I remembered had a child, and in telling her I remembered, told me that, yes, she had a four-year-old girl. Thank you for the smile that lit up her face as I told her I had one too, and we talked about them for those few seconds. Thank you for my ability to see someone who was right in front of me, and her sadness, that I might not have noticed before.
Thank you for nudging me to rent the movie, "Pay it Forward", and how it reminded me in a beautifully cinematic way that we can never know how far reaching our deeds might travel.
Thank you for the beautiful song at the end of the movie, "Calling all Angels", that reminded me of the angel-ness of all of us, and how even when we feel darkness, despair, and, or paralyzing guilt, we can lift ourselves up, and let our angel selves out to shine, to reach out with all of the love that we have to give. Thank you for the reminder that we are all so needed.
Thank you for reminding me, that it isn't about perfect execution, but about showing up to put one foot in front of the other, and leading from the heart.
Thank you for a deep knowing that this week softened me, and took me deeper, that it dislodged aspects of myself, ready for healing, ready for peace. Thank you for knowing what I need, and for giving it to me.
What can I say... except, how truly beautiful the process of going within is; dueling with the dark knight and then seeing and feeling the light of joy emerge again. Thank you for being such an example for me. I love you with all my heart.
Thank you for you, dear Brooke.
I, too, love you with all my heart. You are truly a gift to this world.

Bob Dylan touched on his admiration for Amy Winehouse
By Updated at 2017-03-24 05:39:53 +0000
Bob Dylan touched on his admiration for Amy Winehouse.
In a wide-ranging interview with the music writer Bill Flanagan, Bob Dylan touched on his admiration for the late Amy Winehouse, calling her "The last real individualist around"; his and George Harrison's abortive bid years ago to record with Elvis Presley, ("He (Elvis) did show up; it was us that didn't"); and the power of early rock and roll music, ("Rock and roll was a dangerous weapon, chrome plated, it exploded like the speed of light, it reflected the times, and especially the presence of the atomic bomb, which had preceded it by several years.")
Dylan's new album "Triplicate" explores American standards from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, but the veteran singer-songwriter says that does not mean he is yearning for the past.
Dylan also is unconcerned whether his fans like the album - the third in as many years that features cover versions of classic songs like "Stormy Weather," "As Time Goes By" and "Stardust."
"These songs are some of the most heartbreaking stuff ever put on record and I wanted to do them justice. Now that I have lived them and lived through them I understand them better," Dylan, 75, told Bill Flanagan.
"It's not taking a trip down memory lane or longing or yearning for the good old days or fond memories of what's no more," he added in the lengthy Q&A, posted on the bobdylan.com website on Wednesday.
The three-disc album "Triplicate" will be released on March 31. It follows 2015's "Shadows in the Night" album of Frank Sinatra covers and 2016's similar "Fallen Angels" in marking a strong contrast from the early, socially-conscious folk and rock compositions for which Dylan remains most famous.
Asked what his fans might think of the cover albums, Dylan said; "These songs are meant for the man on the street, the common man, the everyday person. Maybe that is a Bob Dylan fan, maybe not, I don't know."
Dylan also spoke of the loss of fellow musicians like Leonard Cohen, Leon Russell, and Merle Haggard, all of whom died last year.
"We were like brothers, we lived on the same street and they all left empty spaces where they used to stand. It's lonesome without them," he said.
No mention was made of Dylan's Nobel prize for literature, and his non-attendance at the annual Nobel award ceremony in Sweden. Dylan is due to perform in Sweden next week as part of a European tour.

The fundamental problem on which Ilya Prigogine and the Brussels-Austin Group have focused can be stated briefly as follows. Our observations indicate that there is an arrow of time in our experience of the world (e.g., decay of unstable radioactive atoms like Uranium, or the mixing of cream in coffee). Most of the fundamental equations of physics are time reversible, however, presenting an apparent conflict between our theoretical descriptions and experimental observations. Many have thought that the observed arrow of time was either an artifact of our observations or due to very special initial conditions. An alternative approach, followed by the Brussels-Austin Group, is to consider the observed direction of time to be a basic physical phenomenon and to develop a mathematical formalism that can describe this direction as being due to the dynamics of physical systems. In part I of this essay, I review and assess an attempt to carry out an approach that received much of their attention from the early 1970s to the mid 1980s. In part II, I will discuss their more recent approach using rigged Hilbert spaces.


Struggling with a mental disorder is a frightening, lonely place to be. Whether it is a condition like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder or another mental illness, connecting with a mental health counselor can be not only beneficial but possibly lifesaving. Around 54 million Americans suffer from mental illness each year, including some residents of Punta Gorda, Florida. The good news is that it is easy to find mental health facilities and counselors here.
Often when someone is dealing with mental illness, they also experience problems with drugs or alcohol use in Punta Gorda. Mental health facilities in Punta Gorda can address this dual diagnosis and help those in need find relief and healthy strategies to live happier, healthier lives. Several types of care are available depending on the needs of the individual and severity of the condition.
Inpatient mental health facilities: This type of facility involves short-term, around the clock care in an on-site facility. This is a good option for an acute mental illness. If there is a risk of harm to oneself or others, this care can provide stabilization and close observation to keep the patient safe. Some disorders that may require this level of care are bipolar disorder, major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and schizoaffective disorder. Specialists at The Recovery Village can help you find an inpatient program for yourself or a loved one.
Residential mental health facilities: This is similar to inpatient care. Here, the patient can undergo medication management plans, structured counseling, and group therapy. There is constant supervision and care for those with complex, severe mental illness. Some disorders requiring this level of care may be schizophrenia, clinical depression, bipolar disorder and other severe disorders. The treatment locator from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) can provide helpful information.
Long-term mental health facilities: Those needing more extensive care may turn to long-term facilities. These facilities can provide long-term care (sometimes up to a year or more) and help patients incorporate strategies to live independent, self-sufficient, healthy lives.
If you or any of your loved ones are suffering from any type of mental health disorder, treatment can help. You do not have to do this alone. The SAMHSA treatment locator is a good resource for finding a mental health counselor or treatment facility. You can also reach out to The Recovery Village; we are happy to help you find the best care.
Punta Gorda mental health hospitals can provide optimal care to those in crisis. If you are in danger of hurting yourself or someone else, do not hesitate to contact a mental health care facility. These hospitals can provide immediate stabilization and close monitoring and supervision, and possibly save a life. Whether this is a voluntary decision or one at the insistence or recommendation of a relative or health counselor, it may be the best thing you can do.
Counselors here are trained in crisis intervention and medication management and can remove people from life-threatening situations. As hard as it may be to make this decision, seeking help from a mental health hospital may save your life or that of a loved one.
It may seem daunting to sift through mental health care options to find the best one, but there is help in finding a mental health hospital in Punta Gorda. You can ask your family doctor. He or she already knows you and should be part of your mental health team, so this is a good way to receive a strong recommendation. Contacting your insurance provider is another way to find some good resources, and you know that your provider will take some of the financial burden as well. If you are already in touch with a mental health counselor, he or she can recommend a good facility or hospital for mental health care.
The Recovery Village. Our caring staff can help you find the best facility to meet your individual needs.
Punta Gorda has an array of options for mental health facilities, counselors, and care. Whether you are seeking help for a single condition such as depression or bipolar disorder or you have substance abuse as well, there is a program for you. Care can be tailored to your or your loved one's needs. With options ranging from counseling to in- or outpatient care, please know that help is available. With compassionate counselors and a reputable program, The Recovery Village can offer help in treating a variety of conditions; please reach out to us.
Along with the right program, the right counselor is an essential piece of treatment. A mental health counselor can provide support, strategies, and help with the effects of anxiety, depression, and other conditions that are difficult to deal with alone.
If you or any of your loved ones are struggling with any kind of mental illness, please contact us at The Recovery Village for information on our mental health programs. We are here for you and can help with your physical and mental health healing, especially when co-occurring with substance abuse. Please do not hesitate to call us. Seeking treatment can be life-changing, even lifesaving; you do not have to stay in the darkness alone. We are here for you at The Recovery Village.

"The raids, all made with search warrants, started soon after noon and were not completed until early evening. All of the seizures, incidentally, were made within a radius of a few blocks either in or near the 1600 block on India Street. Some of the addresses where raids were made were on West Date, West Grape and Atlantic Streets and Kettner Blvd. The raiding officers described the work as a general house cleaning of wine-selling establishments in the Italian section.

How we lived off the land
My father would scout the county, looking for potential hunting sites, often finding caches just as valuable. Somewhere between Solana Beach and Oceanside, where the original El Camino Real was two parallel dirt ruts through the weeds going up a hill near an old adobe stagecoach stop (which is most likely now enclosed in chainlink fencing), he found huge beaver tail cactus, bearing fruits called nopales or cactus apples.

Compact, red-headed, with bulging biceps, Cliff Graham was admired by his ski buddies for his bravado, intelligence, wit, and ability to milk cash from schemes that ended up losing money for everybody but himself and his friends. He drove fast cars, worked out in a private gym, skied Aspen and Mammoth, sailed boats, packed a pistol, owned two airplanes, buddied up with pro football stars, claimed he "owned" San Diego's judges.

They were going to suffocate the boy. "We knew if the baby cried, we would all be dead. So one of the men put his hand over the baby. To suffocate it. It was terrible, but better one child die than ll the children, all of us."mThese are the choices in war. "You don't know what people have been through to get here to San Diego," Zia Waleh says.

The freeway is nobody's home
The traffic, which has been moving fairly smoothly, stops at Santa Fe Drive. "That's almost a constant," Anly says casually. Beside us, people line up at the freeway ramp lights; she's known it to take five minutes just to get onto the freeway. Sometimes the police will set up a device that will shoot a photo of anyone who runs the light, recording the front of their car and the license plate. Amy once triggered it, she said. "I could see it flash. But I don't have a front license plate," and she got off scot-free.

The forgotten war
It's just like it was yesterday. On November 27 [1950] we were in a little village of Hagaru [North Korea]. That was the day the Chinese attacked further north and headed our way. There were three of us on a street corner with a 30-caliber machine gun. Our field of fire was the main street of the town. To our left, to the east, was a building — maybe it was a school — with what must have been a playground next to it. It was snowing, you know, and we laid there all night, waiting for we didn't know what."

La Jolla 1962
Dressed in long trousers and boat shoes and a white Lacoste tennis shirt, I accompanied Toby across Vista del Mar and Neptune Place to the Pump House and down concrete steps to the beach. The first things I noticed were not the bitchin' sets of waves breaking way off shore, nor the surfers paddling way out there waiting to ride, nor the surfers with lots of white hair waxing their boards near the water's edge. I noticed, of course, the babes, and so did Toby.

Flipper victorious
In 1960 San Diego was the most active tuna port in the world. The fleet consisted of about 135 boats. At any given time, 30 or 40 were tied up at the Embarcadero, in port between trips to the tropical grounds, to places as distant as the Galapagos Islands. There was the familiar sight of cotton bait nets drying after being cured or of the new, large nylon nets just coming into use. And nearby were the canneries that employed hundreds of people. And the steamy, billowing smell of fish processing.

In desperation I went to the white pages. There, straightforwardly and to the point, was the listing "Pigeon Racing," with a phone number in Lemon Grove.

Diary of an orange grove
So when we came to Fallbrook two years ago, we built our house on a hill above an acre of orange trees. They were planted in the 1960s by a man named Mr. Barr who, like us, was not a farmer. The leaves are green and eyeshaped, and beyond them to the north and south other hills are scored with avocado, lemon, lime, and orange groves, the distant rows curving in precise, parallel lines.

The Louis Almeida case should be closed. During a seven-year period in the '80s, he took San Diego art collectors for hundreds of thousands of dollars through forgeries and fraud. At least, that's what he admitted to when he was caught in 1989. He was sent to prison that same year, served his time, and was released in July 1994.

Report says Intel fixes leave PCs no more than 10% slower
Intel Corp., trying to defuse concern that fixes to widespread chip security vulnerabilities will slow computers, released test results late Wednesday showing that personal computers won't be affected much and promised more information on servers.
The chipmaker published a table of data showing that older processors handled typical tasks 10 percent slower at most, after being updated with security patches. The information covered three generations of processors, going back to 2015, running Microsoft's Windows 10 and Windows 7 computer operating systems.
"We previously said that we expected our performance impact should not be significant for average computer users, and the data we are sharing today support that expectation on these platforms," Navin Shenoy, an Intel senior vice president who heads its data center unit, said in a statement. "We plan to share initial data on some of our server platforms in the next few days."
Last week, the world's biggest chipmakers and software companies, including Intel and Microsoft Corp., announced vulnerabilities that leave computers and smartphones susceptible to potential hacking. Google researchers last year discovered that features, present in almost all processors running computers and phones, could give cyberattackers unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Intel's processors are at the heart of the majority of the world's personal computers and server machines making its assessment of the side effects of patching the vulnerability an important indicator of the extent of the issue. Microsoft gave a more pessimistic appraisal than Intel's initial assessments, particularly for servers that form the backbone of corporate networks.
"As of today, we still have not received any information that these exploits have been used to obtain customer data," Shenoy said on Wednesday.

I love two-ingredient recipes! So keep an eye out for them, cause there will be a lot more coming your way. I shared one with you already, remember? Now here comes one with dates: A fabulous combination and one of my go-to snacks would be dates with almond butter. But if I want to be a little more fancy or if I have guests over for dinner, I combine the juiciest Medjool dates I can find with pistachios. You've got to look for unsalted pistachios, though. Raw is even better. I first discovered these when I was at a mall in Dubai, which doesn't seem too surprising since those two ingredients are often used in the middle east. As soon as I entered the store, I was lost in a date-nut-heaven. There you can buy them prepared with all kinds of different nuts. I really liked pistachios the best – obviously I had to recreate these delicious treats at home.
Also: Medjool dates make a huge difference here. I first tasted the queen among dates at a market in Tel Aviv. There they had the sweetest, largest, juiciest Medjool dates I've ever tried – so so good!
Sometimes it's really adding by subtracting!
Now this just makes a great desert that pretty much everyone will like and the best thing is that it's so quick and easy to make. You could make a whole lot ahead and keep them in the fridge for an everyday snack.
First pit the dates if they aren't pitted already.
Next grab a teaspoon and fill dates with as much almond butter as you like. The only limit here is the date itself.
First chop the pistachios roughly. Then pit the dates if the aren't pitted already.
Cut them open a little more on one side and fill with pistachios.
Enjoy while imagining yourself in a 1001 Nights setting.
Now I'm off to another date – one with a fairy-tale bazar. No, seriously! It's in Munich, though.
Let me know how you like your dates best!

"Christmas with the Ellisons" was provided to the public free of charge courtesy of the N.Y. S. Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, and consisted of a tour of the 1754 Revolutionary War home of Col. John and Catherine Ellison.
The Georgian-style stone Ellison house located off Old Forge Hill Road at the intersection of Rt. 94, in Vails Gate, was used as Continental Army Artillery Headquarters by Major General Henry Knox, Commander of Artillery Forces.
The tour was held between 5 and 8 pm Saturday-December 15th.
The tour was well attended and all who participated in the visit to the residence were treated to a rewarding, historically enriching, educational experience. NYS Park representatives were all in period dress or Revolutionary War era military uniform.
Everyone present thoroughly enjoyed a truly inspiring visit to our local historical past.

Q: How do I use the output of a command in a for loop in bash? I'm trying to use the output of this in a for loop:
$wc -l example.mgn | awk '{print $1}'
12

however, I get this:
for i in {1..`wc -l example.mgn | awk '{print $1}'`}; do echo $i; done
{1..12}

A: Brace expansion occurs before any other type of expansion, you can only include literal values in braces. For example, {1..12} is valid, but you can't replace either 1 or 12 with a command that produces a number.
Instead, use
for ((i=1; i<= $(wc -l < example.mgn); i++)); do
    echo "$i"
done


Tom Wolf Wants To Cut Your School's Funding!
Wolf's disastrous education scheme targets 362 school districts.
Wolf's plan would result in a total loss of $1.2 Billion for effected school districts!
How Much Will Your School Lose?
Tom Wolf's disastrous education plan would result in a total loss of $1.2 Billion for effected school districts.
Tom Wolf's disastrous education scheme targets 362 school districts.
Tom Wolf disastrous school funding plan would result in aggregate school funding losses in 43 counties.
"Gov. Wolf believes it's OK to take education dollars meant for students in three-quarters of our school districts in Pennsylvania and use them to reward the people who voted for him," Wagner said at the news conference, flanked by Republican Party chairman Val DiGiorgio and other state party officials.
Wolf's idea would have major negative repercussions in many other shrinking districts, especially in the Western and rural parts of the state... most of the actual districts would lose out — more than 300 in all.
The hypothetical situation would reduce Allegheny County's funding by $91 million and would reduce funding for school districts in 42 other Pennsylvania counties, a GOP analysis found. Such a change would increase funding for districts with growing populations, including many in the southeastern part of the state.
"The state GOP accuses Wolf of wanting to end that so-called "hold harmless" enrollment funding method, a change it claims would siphon $1 billion from rural school districts and redistribute it to Philadelphia and other more populated areas... Wagner's claims have put Wolf's camp on the school-funding defensive"
"Wolf's plan would directly affect 362 Pennsylvania school districts, incurring a total of $1.2 billion in education cuts, per the Pennsylvania Department of Education."
"Although the buzzwords 'fair funding,' and 'formula' may sound appealing at first glance, this new proposal would harm a great deal of Pennsylvania school districts. Wolf's plan would heavily re-distribute funds from rural school districts, and leave the children in these districts who rely on these funds at the will of Governor Wolf and his allies' left-wing agenda, which does not truly seek a fair proportion of education funding and does not care to see rural school districts flourish."
"If the fair funding formula was applied immediately to all school funding, 'it would quite honestly be devastating to school districts in northwest Pennsylvania,' Titusville Area School District Business Manager Shawn Sampson said in an interview Thursday."

From the creative mind of talented filmmaker Luc Besson ("La Femme Nikita," "The Fifth Element"), comes a larger-than-life, family adventure about a boy who, after his grandfather disappears, sets out to save his family home from emerging real estate developers.

But once in the magical land, Arthur must join swords with a beautiful princess and a reckless army of defenders to save the land from the evil wizard. It seems like an impossible task, but as he discovers along the way, sometimes the smallest heroes can make the biggest difference. Using a dazzling new combination of live-action and ground-breaking CGI technology, "Arthur & The Invisibles" is the story about the true meaning of courage and the endless power of imagination. The film stars Mia Farrow and Freddie Highmore, featuring the voices of Anthony Anderson, Jason Bateman, David Bowie, Nate Corddry, Rob Corddry, Robert DeNiro, Emilio Estevez, Jimmy Fallon,Harvey Keitel, Madonna, Chazz Palminteri, Erik Per Sullivan and Snoop Dogg. "Arthur and the Invisibles" was written and directed by Luc Besson and is based on the best selling children's book, "Arthur and the Invisibles."

The return of Shelly Mazzanoble in the introduction is immediately felt when we talk about The Bachelor and D&D before setting up the rest of the segments. As for the interview, it's hard to be aware of the medium of comic books and not realize the effect Fiona Staples has had in the last decade. She has won multiple Eisner, Harvey and Hugo awards for the series called Saga, a mature galaxy-spanning mashup of science-fiction & fantasy. Greg Tito and guest host Satine Phoenix interview Fiona about her process, and her love of Critical Role and D&D, and we hint at why she was in the office in the first place! Lore You Should Know - Chris Perkins goes into detail on that wonderfully tricky monster: the mimic!

Q: Printing content of an Integer arraylist shows negative number at the end I created an integer arraylist and added 0 to 10 into it. when I try to print in a for loop it prints negative 1 as the last element of the arraylist.
New to java
  import java.util.ArrayList;
  import java.util.Collections;
  import java.util.List;

 public class StudentList {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    List<Integer> avarlist = new ArrayList<>();

   for (int i=0; i<=10; i++){
       avarlist.add(i);

    }
    for (int i= 0; i<= avarlist.size(); i++){

        System.out.println(avarlist.indexOf(i));
    }

}

}

A: Because you are using <= instead of <. Your avarlist will have size 11 after you have added the elements. Then you iterate 12 times (from 0 to 11 inclusive) over the list.
Remember: the last index of a list is always size() - 1. When iterating over a list, you almost certainly need to use < size().

A: Question is already answered, however you can improve your code:
For iterating through your ArrayList you can use for-each:
for(Integer i:avarlist){
  System.out.println(i);
}

A: Because you are using the terminating condition of the for loop as i<= avarlist.size() . In a Array or ArrayList in most programming languages indexing starts from 0 .So your last element's index value is equals to avarlist.size() -1 .So refactor your code like one of the ways below.
for (int i= 0; i < avarlist.size(); i++){

        System.out.println(avarlist.indexOf(i));
    }

for (int i= 0; i <= avarlist.size()-1; i++){

        System.out.println(avarlist.indexOf(i));
    }

int index =0;

for(int i :avarlist){//Using an enhanced for loop

          System.out.println(index);
          index++;
}

Papaver es un género de plantas angiospermas, conocidas comúnmente como amapolas, que pertenecen a la familia Papaveraceae y que se distribuyen por Europa, Asia y Norteamérica.

Descripción
Son hierbas anuales, bienales o vivaces, con látex de ordinario blanco y con hojas más o menos divididas, las inferiores pecioladas y las superiores, cuando existen, sésiles. Las flores son actinomorfas, pedunculadas, terminales y solitarias y de capullo colgante. Tienen 2 o 3 sépalos, caedizos en la floración y 4-6 Pétalos, fugaces, de prefloración corrugada, a veces imbricados y de color rojo, naranja, amarillo, blanco o violeta. Los estambres son numerosos, con anteras subglobosas o elipsoides mientras el ovario no tiene estilo, sino un disco apical provisto de 3-18 estigmas radiales. El fruto es una cápsula de forma mazuda a subglobosa, unilocular, falsamente tabicada, casi siempre dehiscente por unos poros situados bajo el disco. Contiene numerosas semillas de 0,5-1,5 mm, reniformes, estriadas o reticuladas, más o menos alveoladas y de diversos colores.

Las amapolas silvestres de color rojo intenso, llamadas en francés ponceaus, han dado origen al nombre del color rojo vivo llamado punzó.

I used to be one of them. You know the kind of person? They think that they are basically good folk trying their best. They are not sure who God is and don't think it really matters. After all, if I am sincere in my belief surely God, whatever god there is, will honour that?
It is a question many ask even in the church: "Why do we need to come explicitly through Jesus? Why can't God save through other religions if the person is sincere?" The problem with this kind of question is that it has the primary end of salvation all wrong. We want to think that salvation, in so far as we think there is the need to be saved, is all about us, but it isn't. I will come back to that in a moment.
But first, let me address the "Why do I need to be saved at all?" question. It is an important one. If I am basically good, and do good things, then surely the good outweighs the bad? The trouble with this is that it ignores the real problem. The problem is that God created us to be in his image. We were to be dependent upon him for light and life and happiness. And we were to glorify him. When we seek to be autonomous, independent from God, we cease to be the full humans we were created to be. We lose the spiritual life blood that comes from our communion with God. Further, our decision to be independent is a desire that god were not actually there. Or if he is, that he becomes a servant for our felt needs. "When I am in trouble I always pray that God will get me out of it." We make God into Aladdin's genie, a slave to our wishes. And that is to try and knock him off the throne and put ourselves there instead. Do you see? Any relationship where one expects the other to provide for him is one in which the one expecting, whether consciously or not, is placing him or herself in a position of authority over the one that is expected to provide. It is also saying that that person doing the expecting knows better than the provider what ought to be provided. And in all of that, what we are doing is rebelling against the rule of the most powerful being in the universe. And that's actually not such a smart idea. Especially when he declares that such rebellion will meet with the fulness of his anger. At which point the words of the Italian Captain from "Allo, Allo" come to mind, "What a mistake-a to make-a."
And it is this that we need saving from.
So, to return to the other question: Why do we need to go through Christ?
(i) God's anger against sinners needs to be turned away from us if we are to have any hope. But we are so shot through with sin that we can do nothing to bring that about. Even if we were able to fully obey God in every way (including loving him with all our hearts, minds, bodies perfectly all the time; and loving our neighbour as ourselves, perfectly, all the time), which we cannot, we would only be doing what we ought to do anyway. We would not be able to make good the sin we have already committed. But Jesus' sin bearing death deals with that for us. In him our sin is judged so that we need not face the penalty.
(ii) Salvation is not ultminately about us, although God does love us, call us, draw us, and design for us the greatest happines. But that greatest happiness is to be found in the ultimate end of salvation. It is about Jesus. Colossians 1 tells us that all things were made for Christ and that the goal of history is that all things will be brought together under him. That includes you and me. God the Father wants to glorify his Son in the salvation of sinners. We are given to Jesus from the Father (John 6:37). Any means of salvation that by-passes Jesus would not glorify or honour him. Christ, as the eternal Son made flesh, is the object of his Father's love and he desires no less than that he be glorified in all creation. The Son also wants the Father glorified (John 17:1) and the Father is glorified when saved sinners delight in all that he is for them in Christ Jesus (as John Piper puts it).
Therefore, one cannot sincerely seek salvation outside of Christ. First because you will not be seeking to be saved from sin by God's grace, but will be continuing to save yourself by your own efforts. And that, of itself, is sin. Why? Because to act independently of God is the very essence of sin. Second, and related to it, if one is coming by other means than Christ one is, by that very act, rejecting Christ. He said that he is "the way, the truth and the life." He also said that "No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). To try and get to God through any other means, therefore, is to reject Christ because you are saying you think he is lying on this point. And it is a denial of the glory of Christ to imagine that sin blinded men and women (however sincere they may be) groping around with false gods might be allowed to by-pass the one whose glory they so clearly reject. And notice that the gospel (the good news) is called "the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Corinthians 4:4).

Are New Watch Materials Getting Old?
Author: Fell Jensen
Last year, Borro Blog took a brief look at the rise in the use of 'new watch materials': Kevlar, carbon billets, sapphire cases, and silicon in abundance are so ubiquitous, detractors of such novelty are clamouring to proclaim these avant-garde practices dull as dishwater. But are they justified in doing so? Is the idea of new materials getting old fast?
Beauty is Skin Deep
As true as it is that the predominant industry trends this year seem to be the use of bright colours (blue dials are still a big crutch for many brands scrabbling around for ideas), the reversion to more classically sized and styled watches, and a renewed interest in truly original design, the use of unusual materials is not going anywhere any time soon.
Image supplied, courtesy of Ressence
A lot of well-known, more risk-averse brands are leaning on the malleability of alternative watch materials to release 'new' versions of old watches with a different case material, relying of course on the established following the updated models given this treatment already enjoy.
SIHH saw a large number of classic models reimagined in new watch materials, most notably ceramic, titanium, and bronze. All three materials offer a vastly different appearance, while not requiring any fundamental design changes.
There are advantages to all three from an aesthetic standpoint, but each requires vastly different tooling to machine. Consumers should also note the difference in longevity between these watch materials and the more established use of steel and gold.
Steel is still, by far and a way, the best long-term prospect, but titanium comes in ahead of gold in terms of wearability. That said, of the three modish materials mentioned her, titanium was the first to the party by many, many years. So much so, in fact, that it's hard to view it as a 'new' material: It is only new in terms of its application to classics that have otherwise been crafted from the industry staples.

In short, there is still a place for a variety of materials used in myriad creative ways in watchmaking. Sometimes they are intended to shock their audience into a passion-driven purchase (if you remember the stampede of Speedy lovers, who found themselves suddenly and inexplicably blown away by the Omega Dark Side of the Moon, you'll know what I mean).
A classic reborn for a modern audience is an attractive prospect. Whether these novelties will ever have the same collectability or investment potential of their antecedents remains to be seen. Keep your eyes peeled, though: If one of these new kids on the block finds a loyal following, the first iterations of its kind could become classics in their own right.

This is How: Help for the Self: Proven Aid in Overcoming Shyness, Molestation, Fatness, Spinsterhood, Grief, Disease, Lushery, Decrepitude, & More. For Young and Old Alike."is one of those books that you read while underlining and turning down the corners of most pages. I couldn't do this when I read it because I read a library copy.
I have read a lot of self-help books over the years, including Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, one of my absolute favorites, but This Is How delivers its universally applicable messages in a compelling way. The advice is straight forward, clear, useful and rings of the truth, so much so that I wrote a few passages down when I was reading it in the lull between workshops at a conference booth I staffed in early December.
I have bought a copy for my daughter, gave another copy to my best friend, and am going to buy two more copies of – one for my son and one for me soon.
The following passages are some of the ones that particularly resonated with me and I hope they prompt you to go buy the book which Mr. Burroughs feels he was born to write. I agree.
One of the most potent chapters is "How to End Your Life" – where Augusten shares his suicide attempts and the blessing he had when he realized he wanted to end his life but not die. And so he did end, that is, change the life he was living including changing his birth name.
I could go on and on but I think I've made my point. This is a useful book.
Note: I read the first of Mr. Burrough's three memoirs, the best-selling Running with Scissors before I bought This Is How. Running with Scissors was harrowing – he had a childhood filled with neglect, inappropriateness and abuse by his parents and neglect and sexual abuse by other adults. Still he survived and has moved beyond this. I haven't been able to get to the subsequent memoirs yet but probably will.

"Skating in Central Park" by Agnes Tait
"Buffalo Hunt on the Southwestern Prairies" by John Mix Stanley
"Surrender of a Confederate Soldier" by Julian Scott
"Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way" by Emanuel Leutze
Highlights of the Smithsonian American Art Museum
"Skating in Central Park" by Agnes Tait is a large, festive scene of winter revelers in Central Park, New York City. It depicts skaters and sledders on the frozen lake and the snowy slopes of the park. It is late afternoon, the sun is setting behind the Manhattan skyline, and the contrast between the snow and the dark branches of the bare trees is delightful.
"Buffalo Hunt on the Southwestern Prairies" by John Mix Stanley depicts the American West and the Native American life in a highly naturalistic depiction. Stanley was an artist-explorer, a painter of landscapes, and Native American portraits and tribal life. Unfortunately, over 200 of Stanley's paintings, which were being held at the Smithsonian, were lost in an 1865 fire. This significant loss of most of his works makes this portrayal of the American West highly valued.
"Surrender of a Confederate Soldier" by Julian Scott depicts a wounded soldier of the Confederate States Army in the American Civil War waving a flag of surrender. The soldier is accompanied by a black man, presumed to be the soldier's slave, and a woman holding an infant assumed to be his wife and child. The painting does not glorify war, and instead, it shows the suffering and human sacrifice associated with war.
"Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way" by Emanuel Leutze is a painted study of a massive painted mural currently displayed behind the western staircase of the House of Representatives chamber in the United States Capitol Building. The picture depicts a group of pioneers on their journey westward as they catch their first glimpse of the "promised land" of California.
