This summer, a girlfriend of mine told me about a perfect beach read called "Crazy Rich Asians" by Kevin Kwan. Have you heard of it!? Well…three books and a movie later, I am obsessed with not only the series but also the whole Asian culture! After seeing the movie, I started thinking about how much fun it would be to spend the day in Chinatown, NYC and explore all it has to offer. I had always heard that Chinatown has so many hidden gems so I asked around and did some research to find the best places to visit. I spent an entire Saturday walking around Chinatown to scope out these places and am so excited to share my favorite spots with you!
Looking for the best dim sum in NYC? Without a doubt, head to Golden Unicorn in Chinatown to have an authentic Dim Sum experience. Let me start off by saying… be prepared to wait! Definitely get to the restaurant at least 30 minutes before you're hungry to grab a ticket (deli style). You will definitely end up waiting downstairs in the lobby along with 50 other hungry dim sum goers!
Golden Unicorn is the first upscale restaurant that offered traditional Cantonese-style dining in Chinatown. It opened its doors in 1989 and has been a secret NYC hot spot ever since. (Well…I guess it's not as secret as I thought considering my 45-minute wait time). Regardless, it is such a fun authentic Cantonese dining experience and definitely worth the wait. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor and as soon as the elevator opens, you feel as if you have been transported to China because of the décor and overall ambiance. I went with a girlfriend and we were seated family style next to two other ladies also enjoying their Saturday lunch.
It was such a fun experience to see the waitresses walking around the restaurant, pushing small carts filled with a variety of dim sum options. If something looked yummy, all you had to do was stop a waitress and she would happily provide you with a plate of whatever your heart desired. My personal favorite dim sum was the shrimp shumai and vegetable soup dumplings. I did get a little adventurous and tried some dim sum that included red bean but the dumplings were much more up my alley.
After enjoying a delicious meal at Golden Unicorn, we headed to one of my favorite stores located in the heart of Chinatown. Yùnhóng Chopsticks is a true hidden gem of a store. How many times have you asked yourself, "what do I get the person who has it all?" Well, do what I do and opt for a fabulous set of chopsticks. Yùnhóng Chopsticks is one of only ten stores in Manhattan that sell just one item: chopsticks. When I say chopsticks, you probably are thinking the kind you get at any Chinese restaurant…not even close. This store is filled with colorful chopsticks, each having its own story. There are over 200 different styles that line the walls of this small store located in the heart of Chinatown. The chopsticks range from a simple pair of plastic chopsticks costing $1.99 to an ebony mahogany set with silver tips, costing over $600. Talk about a luxurious pair of chopsticks!
Not only do I love this store because of its simple and elegant beauty but also because of its history. The Mahogany collection is based on a controversial book called Dream of the Red Chamber, which was banned during the Revolution. Each chopstick signifies one of the twelve main female characters from the novel. Want to live like a Crazy Rich Asian and own one of the most luxuries pairs of chopsticks? Head to Yùnhóng Chopsticks!
A trip to Chinatown wouldn't be complete without ice cream! Chinatown Ice Cream Factory is one of the oldest businesses that sits in the heart of Chinatown and is knows as an "unofficial landmark". This is as original as it gets! They offer an incredible variety of flavors, ranging from wasabi to matcha to plain old vanilla. No matter the flavor, you are guaranteed a delicious scoop of ice cream.
If you are looking for an "Instagram worthy" spot, definitely head to Eggloo. This is one of the most popular places to visit if you are looking for that perfect Instagram picture to show off your over the top ice cream. Eggloo is THE spot for Hong Kong egg waffles filled with delicious ice cream and topped off with a variety of savory options. After trying one, I officially understand why Eggloo is NYC's newest dessert craze.
Although it may not be the most luxurious spot in Chinatown, a must-stop spot is Zuyuan for an epic foot massage. No, it's not the most glamorous spot, no, it's definitely not the Four Seasons but talk about an amazing massage. It's so incredible that it's virtually impossible to get a massage on the weekend unless you book way in advance. The space is rather small and consists of two rows of comfortable lounge chairs. When I walked in to get a massage, half of the people I saw were already napping or relaxing while listening to music (this is always a good sign). So if you are in need of a great foot massage, make sure to make a reservation ahead of time at Zuyuan!
Next on my list is Doyers Street, which is only one block in length, 200-feet long, located in the center of Chinatown. Although it is a tiny street, it is so rich in history and culture. This street was where the first Chinese Theatre in NY was located in 1893. The theatre eventually was converted into a rescue mission for the homeless and in the early 1930's it became known as "The Bloody Angle" or the deadliest street in American history. Now, it is covered in beautiful graffiti, making it a must-see spot in NYC! The entire block is filled with graffiti on both the ground and walls. It's crazy to think that this beautiful street was once filled with horrible crimes and now it's a huge tourist attraction filled with shopping and yummy restaurants.
Spending the day in Chinatown was so much fun and I truly enjoyed visiting the secret spots and finding some amazing gems. You can easily spend an entire day in this part of town, visiting delicious restaurants, shopping at unique stores, eating an abundance of dumplings and of course, enjoying one of a kind desserts. I live less than 10 blocks away from Chinatown and felt like I was in an entirely different city. That is one of the best parts of NYC, feeling as if you are in a different part of the world depending on the neighborhood you are in. With all that being said…anybody know when the next movie is coming out?!? I am ready!


If you are looking to fix your leaky roof, then you are no stranger to the challenge one faces in finding the right contractor. While you need to get the repairs done soon, it certainly doesn't mean you should hire the first name that pops up on your online search. Finding a contractor is a long process that requires you to conduct proper due diligence.
In this article, we will provide some helpful tips to find the Best Roofing Contractors in your area.
You can reduce the possibility of being scammed or get poor service if you choose a contractor from your own local community. They are familiar with the local laws and stick to compliance regulations when working on your roof.
A contractor must jump a lot of hoops and meet number of requirements to get manufacturer designation. Earning this badge itself is a certification about good roofing work that you do in your community.
Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings are given to contractors who offer satisfactory services. Do not hire a contractor who is not listed on BBB. You can prevent yourself a lot of trouble by working with some you can vet.
Do you really want to work with a roofing contractor who cannot back his own work with a warranty? If they do provide manufacturer warranties, then be sure to if it includes the technician's workmanship. If they fail to install a roof correctly, then it may take months for the problem to surface. Your insurance will not pay for a botched up job. Therefore, if your contractor refuses to fix it and your insurance refuses to pay, then the only option you have is to pay for it yourself. You can avoid this entirely by checking if your contractor provides workmanship warranties.
Do not hire a contractor that does not train its employees on proper safety protocol. A dedicated roofing employer will leave no stone unturned in safeguarding their staff against injury and neither should you. An accident under your roof can make you responsible to pay the damages if your contractor is not insured by their employer.
It goes without saying that you should not take licensing and insurance on the face value. Always check and validate to ensure that your contractor is 100% compliant and has all the necessary certifications to operate his business. As has been pointed out before, not having insurance could lead to a lawsuit between you and your contractor if their employee sustains injury on your property. To avoid being sucked into that, make sure that you do not work with unlicensed or uninsured contractor.
Finding a reliable contractor doesn't have to be difficult. Just follow these steps and take a call of judgment based on your research to help you find a contractor you can trust and recommend.

Iran lawmakers pick members of nuclear deal review panel
Debate is raging in both Washington and Tehran
TEHRAN - Iran's parliament announced Wednesday the final composition of a 15-member panel largely composed of conservative lawmakers to review the country's nuclear deal with world powers.
Iranian MPs have demanded a stronger say in the deal negotiated by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif with US Secretary of State John Kerry and top diplomats from five other leading nations.
Along with criticism of the nuclear talks in hardline conservative media outlets, Iran's parliament has witnessed deep scepticism over the diplomacy that finally led to the accord in Vienna on July 14.
The agreement -- reached in talks between Iran and Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States -- aims to curb Tehran's nuclear programme in exchange for lifting international sanctions imposed on its economy since 2006.
Iran denies Western accusations that it seeks an atomic bomb.
The fate of the deal, and the extent to which Iranian MPs can influence a final accord, remains unclear.
The nuclear deal review panel, comprised of 13 conservatives and two reformists, will analyse the text of the agreement.
Iran's parliament may then vote on approving or rejecting the accord, likely in October after a similar review by US lawmakers in Washington.
A strong majority of MPs in Tehran -- 201 of 290 -- requested such a measure.
But formal oversight of the accord rests with Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), a powerful committee headed by President Hassan Rouhani and of which Zarif is also a member.
The SNSC reports to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who on Monday said the fate of the nuclear deal "is not clear as no one knows if it will be approved here or in America".
Although Khamenei -- who has the final word on all policy matters -- praised Iran's negotiators after the deal was announced, he has not explicitly said whether he endorses its terms or disagrees with them.
Despite the debate about the deal raging in both Washington and Tehran, Zarif said on July 29 that he had "no concern or worry" about the agreement being implemented in the next few months.

VJ Technologies Brings Transparency to 2018 Tour de France…. And Beyond
In 2016, VJ Technologies was enlisted to help the UCI test for mechanical doping at the Tour de France. This test program was launched to address the prevailing issue of hidden motors in bikes, which became a reality when Femke Van den Driessche's spare bike was found to have been enhanced at the world championships in 2016. Similarly to biological doping, mechanical doping threatens the credibility of cycling, and the UCI has taken a firm stand against it.
VJ Technologies provided the UCI with a mobile x-ray machine to test bikes more thoroughly than they ever were in the past. Previously, the UCI relied primarily on magnetic resonance tablets, which were criticized by many as not being 100% reliable.
VJ Technologies Steve Halliwell comments, "the UCI had been using iPad based magnetic sensors and thermal cameras to check for hidden motors before and during each race, but all are prone to false alarms or being unable to operate in wet weather. X-ray inspection provides an absolute and fool proof determination of hidden motors. The system is fully automatic and able to be operated by a single person, and takes only a few minutes, which is significantly less than the typical end of race drug tests which riders must take. So far no hidden motors have been discovered, a testament to the deterrence factor our new system provides."
The x-ray unit was small, but was built to withstand the most difficult weather conditions that could arise during the Tour de France. It's a sure way of detecting illegal components hidden in bikes, by being able to view an x-ray image of what is actually on the inside of the bikes, clearly differentiating between legal wires or electronic gear shifters and illicit propulsion devices. The French police unit even supplied a "Test Bicycle" in order to demonstrate how VJ Technologies' x-ray machine could perform this mechanical doping check.
After crossing the finish line at the Tour de France, select bikes were tagged and taken to the x-ray machine for a short, yet comprehensive test, which took less time than typical biological doping tests. While no bikes were found to have concealed motors, the UCI's efforts led to a new level of transparency in professional cycling.
New UCI President Brings About Evolution in Mechanical Doping Testing
In 2017, David Lappartient took over for former UCI president Brian Cookson. Lappartient campaigned on cleaning up cycling at all costs, promising a reliable way of identifying mechanical doping. Lappartient was aware of the 2016 test and requested that the UCI officially partner with VJ Technologies to expand their initial prototype into a resilient mobile platform.
This partnership resulted in VJ Technologies upgrading their original unit to a full mobile system of their mechanical doping x-ray machine for the 2017 Tour de France, and future races. The VJ Technologies engineering team worked diligently to build the system in just 10 weeks – the project was approved in January and delivered in mid-March. Although this system is new, it certainly meets the UCI's expectations for a fool-proof mechanical doping check.
VJ Technologies has fully trained the UCI team and provides technical and support staff at races as part of the VJ Technologies Field Services unit. The upcoming Vuelta a Espana (beginning August 25th) will be the next race that the technology will be used for. So far, the results have proven extremely successful. No hidden motors were discovered in any of the bikes so far, but the technology promises a new level of security for the sport of cycling.
The VJ Technologies x-ray solution for the Tour de France was highlighted by ARD SPORTSCHAU, a prestigious sports program in Germany during the race. The reporter explains how after the race, the winner and 7 additional cyclists must have their bikes inspected. At the end of the 2018 tour, nearly every bike was checked at least once, the total inspection time taking approximately 2-4 minutes.
The response to VJ Technologies' x-ray machine and Lappartient's determination to stop mechanical doping has been overwhelmingly positive. The peloton has accepted the process as just another step they need to take for their racing careers and the mechanics have been extremely supportive of the process as well.
Lappartient has a lot to prove to the public, who still talks of possible cheating in past cycling races. The UCI has increased punishments for mechanical doping, with high fines and promises of a six months suspension for any rider found guilty. Lappartient is taking this issue very seriously and the widespread public support validates its importance.
VJ Technologies: The Leader in Innovative Field Inspections
VJ Technologies has helped fuel a revolution in cycling through the partnership with the UCI. The company's more than 30 years of experience with in-the-field inspection services ranges from ground electrical feeders to large valve inspections for major oil refineries to on-site inspection services for world-leading brands. With VJ Technologies' innovative solution to mechanical doping, everyone can rest assured that the winners of prestigious bike races will have earned their titles fairly.

More women are choosing to forego the wearing of high heeled shoes as sales of the constricting and uncomfortable footwear continue a fast decline in favor of flats and other comfort wear. The trend is being fueled by high profile celebrities like Oprah Winfrey who have decided they don't want to sacrifice their health in pursuit of dubious high fashion. While some women continue to wear heels at work or for special occasions, the major shift in the workplace is to more comfortable shoes and clothing.
Foot deformities and skin conditions—Corns, calluses, bunions, and hammertoes are more likely to occur in frequent wearers of high heels.
High heels also have the effect of putting the knees in a permanently bent position, causing excess stress to the knee joints and interrupting the natural movement of the foot, which has a concomitant effect on walking mechanics. Additionally, the spine can become misaligned increasing the compression forces on vertebrae in the lower back. The resultant need to overuse the back muscles also adds to this layering of pain and discomfort. Medical professionals also believe that women who often wear high heels are more likely to develop osteoarthritis as they get older.
If you are experiencing foot problems caused by the wearing of high heels, your foot doctor can help. The podiatrists at Foot Health Podiatry, PLLC, in New York City, NY, are experts in providing the best care for any problems you may be experiencing with your feet and ankles. Sorelis Jimenez, DPM, John W. Fletcher, DPM, and Kamilla Danilova, DPM and the rest of the staff at Foot Health Podiatry, PLLC, are happy to help with any questions or concerns you may have.

The marketing scheme has fallen under harsh criticism since the company was founded but that hasn't stopped Chick Beer from expanding from Maryland to Idaho and Indiana. The website claims 25% of beer drinkers in America are women and they are the only company trying to target that segment, though it seems more likely that they are alienating the other 75% with their strategy. However, a light American Lager with only 3.5 carbs and 97 calories will probably entice a fairly large number of female beer drinkers.

When you're a single guy, you don't really go out of your way to watch films like Before Sunrise, if not purely for what the poster looks like, and with this film it looked pretty soppy. But being the massive film lover I am, and not really caring what I watch, that stuff never holds me back. So when I was making my way through the IMDB top 250 list, I saw two films of a trilogy on it, Before Sunrise, and Before Midnight, so I knew I was going to need to watch all three, which also meant seeing Before Sunset which nearly made the top 250.
Going through this top 250 IMDB film challenge has got me to see many great films, and when I went into this one, I decided to check out who were the directors and writers behind this series of films that seemed to all rate very high in both critics and general viewers eyes. That's when I suddenly became aware of a filmmaker that I didn't know of, yet had loved all their films I had seen, and they were the writer and director behind all of them, including this whole trilogy.
Realizing you're a massive fan of the person behind Bernie, Dazed And Confused, and School Of Rock, and you didn't even know it was from the same person, is a very exciting thing, especially when you're about to partake in a trilogy of their films. So with that excitement in my veins, I was very interested to see these films back to back, which meant first off I needed to see the 1995 film, Before Sunrise.
Told over the course of what I'm guessing was exactly 24 hours in Vienna, Austria, two strangers meet on a train and end up on a whirlwind journey of romance in which both fall madly in love within that short period of time. I know, I know, sounds soppy, just like the poster looks, but this is far from the typical angst ridden love stories we seem swamped with these days.
So much of this film just felt so real, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who felt so many scenes nailed our own life experience in somewhat similar situations. It's a talky movie, so it's all told from just the two main characters talking and experiencing their environment, so technically nothing happens, unless you count two people falling in love as something happening, which I think you can.
The movie ended on somewhat of a cliff-hanger, but one where they leave the mystery of what happened up to the viewer. Now, knowing there were two films to come made that cliff-hanger ending easier to interpret, but that didn't lessen the joy of trying to decide for yourself what happened next.
What excited me most about this series though were both the films and how they were made, and the lives of the characters within them, as they are all told 9 years apart, with Before Sunrise filmed and set in 1995, Before Sunset filmed and set in 2004, and Before Midnight filmed and set in 2013. That alone is such a cool way of telling a story, let alone the filmmaking process of such a gap between each film, with now 18 years between the first and last film. So with that, I couldn't wait to see the rest of them!

CNC turn/mill lathe has greatly expanded in recent years, it includes trandional C/X/Z axis machining application with live tools, but it cannot satisfy job shops because the complexity, precision and cost for machining workpiece is getting higher, for that reason, Y axis CNC turning center is being consider as the standard and mainstream in the field. Job shops can reach higher requirement with Y axis and live tools, with Y axis, it can perform cross milling, drilling, tapping, curved surface, and pocket. The cycle time will be enormously reduced and the precision will be much better than C/X/Z axis machining.
In the following drawing is the Y axis milling application, it demonstrate Axial and Radial milling, for example, it performs cross milling square shape, and off center milling rectangle on the workpiece face.
Y axis also helps expanded the tooling variety and flexibility, because Y axis can do off center movement, it increase the tooling application, for example.
The ID tool holder tooling number can be increase to 3 or 4 holes.
Also on the live tooling can be increased, for example, the axial live tooling Can be increase from 1 to 2 tools.
There are some application that single Y axis cannot be performed because some of the workpieces are too complex, so that is why the invention of the second Y axis is used for more complicate machining. Especially it is used for the back machining for the workpiece, with the second Y axis, it can be equipped with multiple tools. For instance, MYLAS DY series CNC turning center is equipped second Y axis, and the number of the tools can be expanded to 14 tools, the standard 2 axis CNC lathe can never compete with this multi functional turning center.


Nothing changes, for generations millions of people have said it gets better. I think "it gets better" is merely false hope, no matter how much time may pass nothing will change.
The true test of a persons character is when you realise that the saying " there is always someone better than you" is true. What, happens when you realise that no person can ever know when they are doing there best as there is always somthing more that you could have done.
It gets easier to move on and accept your limits. Each failure gleams a small glimmer of hope.
Althought, you will never forget the pain, suffering ans loss.
A person only truly grows when they realise all of the suffer becomes strenght, and in the end all you need to do is make the effort.

Monzo has turned down two acquisition...
Business, Fintech, News
Challenger bank Monzo has rejected two acquisition offers in the last month, the firm's CEO revealed last night.
Tom Blomfield told an audience of customers at the startup's HQ that selling out to a bank "is not why we're here".
"We're here because we believe we can build something that genuinely improves the lives of millions of people around the world, and ultimately a billion," he said. "If we sell out to a big bank we will not achieve that goal."
The firm is considered to be the UK's leading challenger bank having signed up more than 300,000 users since it launched in 2015.
It currently offers customers a pre-paid debit card, but is in the process of rolling out current accounts to all users by the end of the year.
Unlike traditional banks, Monzo provides customers with budgeting tools and can offer expenditure information instantly.
But Blomfield said last night that he doesn't envisage the company as a bank.
"We don't necessarily want to build a bank," he said. "A bank is an enabler of the stuff we really do want to build, which is a single tool that lets you visualise and control all your money wherever it sits.
"That might mean aggregating all of your different current accounts into one place. It might be visualising your student loan and the repayments.
"You might have a mortgage. You might have ISAs or savings accounts with other banks. Again, you should be able to visualise and control that within Monzo."
The CEO also responded to questions about how the firm will start to generate revenue. One route is through providing unsecured personal loans, but Blomfield also hopes to take commission on budgeting tips.
If, for example, Monzo can find a way to reduce mortgage repayments by switching a user's provider, it would take a 10-15% cut of the savings made.
"What we're trying to do is not just a current account," said Blomfield. "It's to build an extremely powerful financial control centre that uses all of the data there to either make your life simpler, save you money or earn money on the surplus funds you have."

"After winter comes spring" - two Afghan evacuees visit Free Press Unlimited
2 September 2022Reading time: 5 minutes Author: Myrthe Nauta
On Tuesday, August 30, just over a year after the crisis in Afghanistan erupted in full force, Mahbooba Siraj and Nematullah Khosh Ahmadi visited Free Press Unlimited. A special moment, after the emergency support team worked hard to evacuate them and 23 others to the Netherlands a year ago. How did they fare?
After the evacuation of Afghan media professionals to the Netherlands, Free Press Unlimited remained involved. Not only as mental support, but also by financing a counseling program by RFG Magazine. RFG Magazine is an organization that works for journalists with a refugee background. Rob Hartgers, project manager of RFG magazine, opened the meeting with an update.
"This project has many challenges," Rob explains. "We started with intake interviews, where we learned more about the person's background, and what we could help them with. Together we try to make sure they can get back to their professional lives. The people who were working in the media we try to match with a Dutch journalist."
Achievements and setbacks
Rob continues: "Our original planning was that by this time we had all the evacuees matched with a buddy. That hasn't worked out yet, because so many of the evacuees are still in AZCs, despite having been granted asylum, because of the housing shortage." Another difficulty he explains, is that many of the evacuees are traumatized by events prior to and during their flight. This, and the lack of a permanent place to live, makes it difficult to plan for the future.
Fortunately, however, they have managed to achieve some successes. For example, a photography project, New Voices, has been set up in which around 10 photographers with a refugee background, including two Afghan photographers who were part of the evacuees, have worked together. The result is an exhibition that can be seen from November 10 at the Amsterdam Public Library, and from January 2023 at other locations in the country. There have also been networking meetings with Dutch media in which several of the Afghan journalists have participated.
Rob: "We also try to get job interviews with Dutch media or other employers. This is still difficult due to the circumstances, and will take more time. That's why I don't want this project to end at the end of this year, as is currently planned, but to continue supporting these people."
Rob points out that there are many problems in the asylum system, and it is only getting worse. "We work with journalists who have been moving from refugee centre to refugee centre for years, some as long as six years. We do sometimes ask the central agency for the reception of asylum seekers if they can place journalists closer to the Randstad, where it is easier to get work in the media. But those requests are not even answered these days."
The stories of Nematullah and Mahbooba
Nematullah Khosh Ahmadi is originally from Uruzgan, from where he has worked for 20 years as a filmmaker and documentary maker for various media organizations in the country. Among other things, he worked on the documentary "Kabul, city of the wind. For another documentary, he shot most of the material while still in Afghanistan. "When I fled I took two things with me, my hard drive with the material, and clothes for my child." Now he is still looking for an editor to help him finish the documentary. RFG Magazine is also trying to help him with that. Now he has a home and is studying Cinematic Studies, and trying to finish his documentary.
All evacuees worked for Dutch organizations, but not all were journalists, there were also people among them who worked as fixers or for NGOs. So was Mahbooba Siraj, before she fled she worked for an NGO called Afghan Child Education and Care Organization (ACECO). In that role, she also met documentary filmmaker Rachel Corner, who wanted to make a documentary about Afghanistan's first orchestra made up entirely of girls and young women, many of them from an ACECO music school. Thus Mahbooba became Rachel's fixer. All the members of the orchestra also got away safely from Afghanistan and are now in Portugal. But her role as fixer for a documentary with this theme made Mahbooba vulnerable to the Taliban.
Mahbooba says, "I arrived in the Netherlands last October. We left Kabul after the initial chaos had abated somewhat. I was able to get away with my husband and son on a flight to Islamabad, Pakistan. Then we flew on to Germany, and finally we were bused to the Netherlands. After a short quarantine period in Zwolle, we ended up in the reception center in Harskamp. After one and a half months we received our residence status and ended up in the south of the Netherlands. There we spent another 2-3 months before getting a house in Krommenie, where we live now."
Traumatising time
Settling down in the Netherlands is not easy. "The time before we fled Afghanistan has been traumatising. There was a moment when I went to the airport in Kabul with my husband, intending to leave, but I couldn't and went back home. But for the people who went along in the military planes, it must have been even more traumatizing. My flight was good in the end because we were able to go on a commercial flight."
"When we came here there was so much uncertainty, we didn't know what kind of future we could have here. You don't know the answers to most questions." Mahbooba breaks for a moment, as the emotions are still very much on the surface. "We had no one here," she continues. "I also had my 3-year-old son with me, and it was very difficult to have him move from place to place. And my family was still in Afghanistan, and that made me feel very desperate. We knew we were safe, but mentally we didn't feel that way. But now we live in Krommenie and my son goes to a daycare center. Yes, things are better now."
When asked what gives her hope, she immediately answers, "My son." She continues, "I tried incredibly hard, just for him. I also know: after winter always comes spring. I know it will get better. Even when I think about home, it will get better there too. I have hope and believe in positivity."

Enemies of the People
(Photo: Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images)
As we know, the Hair Füror used his awesome prznintial power to surveil his enemies with the ultimate goal of indicting them. His list included reporters from all the major papers, members of Congress, their staffs and their families.
CNN tells us that Barr's DOJ was looking at a lot more people than originally reported:
Justice Department requested data on 73 phone numbers and 36 email addresses from Apple
(CNN) The Department of Justice sent a broad request in February 2018 to Apple as part of its investigation that collected data on members of Congress, staffers and their families. The department demanded metadata on 73 phone numbers and 36 email addresses from Apple, the company said Friday evening…
"…In 2017 Microsoft received a subpoena related to a personal email account," the statement said. "As we've said before, we believe customers have a constitutional right to know when the government requests their email or documents, and we have a right to tell them. In this case, we were prevented from notifying the customer for more than two years because of a gag order. As soon as the gag order expired, we notified the customer who told us they were a congressional staffer. We then provided a briefing to the representative's staff following that notice. We will continue to aggressively seek reform that imposes reasonable limits on government secrecy in cases like this."
There is little doubt in my mind that if Hair Füror had won re-election that he would have rounded-up his enemies; this is the start of what would have become a police state. Trump, Barr, Sessions, the entire lot of the 4th Reich needs to go to prison, but… I cannot help but notice the government's reluctance to do ANYTHING about it.
Protecting our democracy requires exposing those who are trying to destroy it.
At this point, I can no longer be shocked about learning of the extent of Trump's corruption and criminality, but I am shocked to see the extent to which the system is either incapable or unwilling to hold him accountable.

And being "incapable or unwilling to hold [them] accountable" will continue as long as people like Merrick Garland (who I fear more and more was a Robert Mueller-level error on Biden's part) worry more about protecting the institution than protecting the country and its citizens.
RWW says:
Garland is another Mueller, I'm afraid. He actually wants to protect his own reputation even more than the "institution" he's been put in charge of. He should be doing exactly the opposite and relying on his reputation to protect him as he goes after all the bad actors with everything he's got. TFG laughably dismissed Mueller a Democrat and said his probe was a witch hunt, so if that's the kind of crap that scares Garland into submission, then he's definitely in the wrong game and playing in the wrong league.

The fools/cowards seem to worry that if they prosecute wrongdoing from a previous GOP administration that a future GQP administration will come after them. Somehow they are deluded or grasping at straws to believe that a future GQP administration would allow precedent to somehow deter them from going after Dems.

Q: Vector sum of multidimensional arrays in numpy If I have a an N^3 array of triplets in a numpy array, how do I do a vector sum on all of the triplets in the array?  For some reason I just can't wrap my brain around the summation indices.  Here is what I tried, but it doesn't seem to work:
a = np.random.random((5,5,5,3)) - 0.5
s = a.sum((0,1,2))
np.linalg.norm(s)

I would expect that as N gets large, if the sum is working correctly I should converge to 0, but I just keep getting bigger.  The sum gives me a vector that is the correct shape (3x1), but obviously I must be doing something wrong.  I know this should be easy, but I'm just not getting it.
Thanks in advance!

A: As the comments note, there is no reason why the squared sum should approach zero. By the description, an array of N three-dimensional vectors sounds like it should have the shape of (N,3) not (N,N,N,3), but I may be misunderstanding it. Either way, it is simple to observe what happens in the two cases:
import numpy as np

avg_sum = []
sq_sum  = []

N_val = 2**np.arange(15)
for N in N_val:
    A = np.random.random((N,3)) - 0.5
    avg_sum.append( A.sum(axis=1).mean() )
    sq_sum.append ( (A**2).sum(axis=1).mean() )

import pylab as plt
plt.plot(N_val, avg_sum, label="Average sum")
plt.plot(N_val, sq_sum,  label="Squared sum")
plt.legend(loc="best")
plt.show()

The average sum goes to zero as your intuition expects.

A: Is is easier to understand you problem analytically if instead of uniform random numbers we use standard normal numbers, and the qualitative results can be applied to your particular case:
>>> a = np.random.normal(0, 1, size=(5, 5, 5, 3))
>>> s = a.sum(axis=(0, 1, 2))

So now each of the three items of s is the sum of 125 numbers, each drawn from a standard normal distribution. It is a well established fact that adding up two normal distributions gives you another normal distribution with mean the sum of the means, and variance the sum of the variances. So each of the three values in s will be distributed as a random sample from a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation sqrt(125) = 11.18.
The fact that the variance of the distribution grows means that, even though if you run your code many times, you will see an average value of 0 for each of those numbers, on any given run you are more likely to see larger offsets from 0.
Furthermore you then go and compute the norm of those three values. Squaring three standard normal distributions and adding them together gives you a chi-squared distribution. If you then take the square root, you get a chi distribution. The former is easier to deal with, and it predicts that the average value of the square of the norm of your three values will be 3 * 125. And it most certainly seems to be:
>>> mean_norm_sq = 0
>>> for n in xrange(1000):
...     a = np.random.normal(0, 1, size=(5, 5, 5, 3))
...     s = a.sum(axis=(0, 1, 2))
...     mean_norm_sq += np.sum(s**2)
...
>>> mean_norm_sq / 1000

In today's selfie era, how do you make your event Instagrammable?
It's no secret. Experiential marketing and social media go together. Research shows that 98% of consumers create digital or social content at branded experiences, and 100% of those people share that content.
Everyone loves an Instagrammable experience!
Perhaps that's why there has been a rise in successful "Insta museums" – exhibit spaces designed for social sharing. Examples include: Refinery29's 29Rooms, the Museum of Ice Cream, Color Factory, the Hall of Breakfast and Dream Machine. Many of these pop-up museums are created by artists and are ticketed exhibits, but brands are taking note.
Essence and Toyota paired up to create a sensory wonderland experience. Designed with the theme of AfroFuturistic, this one-day event was a multi-sensory experience created to tap into driver emotions. Each exhibit activated a sense that you may feel when you take the wheel of a new Camry. Hunger, boom, lust, throb, pulse and drool were each represented in its own sensory room. Each sensation had a vignette designed that would specifically arouse that sense.
For example, inside the pulse room there were large photograph-able pipes where visitors could hear the engines rev. Inside the throb room, a 5-foot inflatable heart captured many camera lenses while EKG monitors echoed around the room. A maze of red velvet curtains was part of the rose-scented lust room. And finally Camry succeeded in getting "butts in seats" in the drool room. This is where a visitor could sit inside a Camry while a unique light-wave projection created a savory experience.
These visual experiences are filled with shareable content. When executed well, guests will naturally want to pull out their phones and start sharing. This is an excellent way to amplify your brand's reach beyond the physical attendees to your live event.
Instagram is a visual channel. So visual design must be at the top of your checklist.
Theme your experience according to your message, audience and the emotions you hope to provoke. Find ways to bring your designs together cohesively, so it feels like your brand throughout the entire space. Think creatively about how your physical exhibits will fit inside a digital Instagram photograph. Then get creative!
Be surprising. Find delightful ways to add awe in the entire environment around a visitor.
Full immersion into a new world – such as an undersea adventure or on a moonwalk – will be very impactful. Yet, simplicity is okay, too. Creative banner backdrops, colorful floor mats or artistic images along the wall can be interesting and Instagram-worthy. Consider your budget, objectives and audience when deciding on the environmental design of your experience.
In visual design, every detail matters. The placement of each individual element is critical to the overall event picture.
The "Insta museums" mentioned above aren't just things you walk through. They are interactive playgrounds. The experience extends beyond the pretty visuals to evoke emotion.
When your brand experience allows your audience to feel something, they're more engaged and more likely to want to share their experience. Emotional appeal adds meaning to the experience and helps someone feel more connected to your brand.
Emotion can be evoked in many ways. The multi-sensory design alone may be enough. Adding an interactive activity or something to further involve them may be another. Incorporating startling stories or statistics can be yet another.
Ask yourself, 'How is someone going to feel at this experience?' That should be a guiding question as you design the experience.
People want to share the beautiful moments they experience with friends and family. So if you can create a special moment – not just a picture – you can spark their inner desire to share.
Good experience design incorporates your brand in subtle ways. It's not about adding a step and repeat banner at the door or hanging logo banners on every wall. We're not serving you logo soup.
Every brand has a distinct look and feel. Make sure the event photos will capture your unique personality. From the lighting to the visuals, everything works together to create a certain photographic mood.
Logo or product placement is obviously important, too. But think creatively about how you incorporate. For dinner events, try logo-etched silverware or custom drink stir sticks. For product displays, set the item in a real and authentic setting as opposed to something that resembles a store shelf. Create your logo out of unique materials or build it in such a way that is fresh and interesting.
Think about the key places where someone may take a photo, and add your brand subtly in the background.
People like to know what their expectations are upfront. So don't be afraid to encourage them to snap and share.
Create a unique event hashtag and post that hashtag in multiple locations so it can't be missed. If you have multiple exhibits, you may want to create multiple hashtags to easily measure the engagement levels of each.
If you have a large footprint, provide maps. You could give paper maps or handle digitally in your brand's app. On the map, point out photo opportunities or those key moments you want to make sure someone stops. This is a great place to put your hashtag.
Ask for social sharing on the take-home item. Or offer a post-event challenge that encourages social sharing even after someone leaves your event.
Create an exclusive filter that can only be used when someone is at your event location. This stirs FOMO and is exciting to use for your guests.
Make it easy for attendees by providing selfie sticks, selfie frames or photo booths.
For some brands, it may make make sense to incentivize the post. Offer a sweepstakes giveaway or other reward just for using your event hashtag. It could be as simple as a swag item or as exciting as being in the brand's next video commercial.
Brand experiences designed for Instagram will earn a lot of organic shares, but it never hurts to ask softly for that post.
Research shows that user-generated content has a 4.5% higher chance of conversion than branded posts. Encouraging your audience to share photos from your experience may be well worth the investment.
For made-for-Instagram events, it's important to get a few heavy hitters in the room. This can be through organic or paid influence marketing programs. If you have influencers on your payroll, invite them to attend. If you don't, get creative about how to draw influential social media users to participate.
If you are having a musician perform, one selection criterion could be how social he/she is. Will the musician you hire be likely to help promote your event or post about their performance there? Same with your speaker panel, brand partners or caterers.
You may be thinking about macro-influencers – celebrities with huge followings. But that's not always who you need in the room. Micro-influencers who have a natural affinity for your brand or your industry may be a powerful resource for you.
Sometimes, all it takes is a simple invitation to get a few of the right people in the room. If they're genuinely interested in what you're doing, they'll want to come and share your content. Just make sure the event creates value for them and their followers.
Tools like SparkScore by SparkToro can help you identify the true influence of a Twitter user. And Influence helps you find influencers in your industry.
Even with paid influencers, you want the content to seem as natural as possible. Here's where your visual design, emotional appeal and subtle branding will activate their posts in a positive light.
If you want a lot of Instagramming to take place at your event, you better have your social media community managers on site and ready to engage digitally. After all, social media is social – that means two-way dialogue.
Someone should be following the posts, liking content and adding comments as appropriate, to fuel further engagements. Re-post from your event attendees to make them feel like an even more important part of the experience.
Has a favorite brand of yours ever responded to one of your personal posts? And did you feel giddy even for one quick moment to get that personal attention?
Simply saying thanks for attending in an online channel could show a lot of customer appreciation.
Generating earned media on social media is extremely valuable. But media still play a vital role in both exposure and signaling when a topic is hot. If a trusted media source is talking about your experience, it must be worth sharing! Publishers and journalists add value to your event, so be sure to invite the media to attend.
Media coverage aids your brand in many ways: increased awareness and foot traffic, expanded reach of your message and added credibility. If media cover the event, your brand will get a spotlight in their publications or broadcasts, as well as in their social channels.
And the amplification goes on and on and on.
For some brand experiences, it pays to have a preview event for press. Open early or the night prior to public viewings, and host an experience-driven press conference. This creates exclusive content to entice media with while generating some early buzz for your brand experience.
Your experience is a content factory for your brand, too. Sure your objective might be earned media in the moment. But using the experience to fill your own Instagram feed in the weeks ahead will aid your own social strategy and continue to earn you online engagement post-event. Offset some of the costs of creating visual content by gathering a calendar's worth of content at your experience.
Make a shot list beforehand to give to the on-site photographer. Think about how you can use content from the experience not just for social media but for future TV, radio, print, out-of-home and digital placements.
Get content early, so you can design live posts and memes while the event is still taking place. Collecting b-roll will also help with your media outreach. Then use the content to fill in your social calendar. Plan and prepare your posts and schedule out according to your content plan.
Like with all things marketing, you'll want to measure the success of your Instagrammable experience.
Generate hashtag use and exposure?
Increase reach with social media impressions?
Gain a lift in awareness?
Drive online or in-person visits?
Position your brand in a distinctive, positive way?
Grab attention of influencers in your industry?
Among your other key performance indicators, its Instagram results are cues to determine your event's triumph.
Tools like Sprout Social, Social Mention or Crimson Hexagon (among a myriad of others) can be used to measure your social media analtyics.
The sensory wonderland that Essence and Toyota created took place during a one-day event. The event drew attendance and visibility for the brands. And the short span created an exclusivity to the experience. It generated earned media; it worked.
However, depending on your objectives and investment, it may make good business sense to scale the branded experience. Open a pop-up for a longer flight? Take it on a mobile tour to new markets? Re-launch it seasonally?
Experiential marketing is about the intimate, human-to-human connections your brand can build with consumers. So if you see the success in this, you can continue to do so even on a limited budget. Replicate the experience for new markets or new audiences. Find ways to re-imagine and improve on your brand experience but save money by re-using what you can. Create something new by using your existing props. Keep the elements you produce and re-purpose them at future events or as in-store displays.
It's the experience that drives your engagements. So consider how you can scale, replicate, repeat and grow your Instagrammable event to achieve more brand relevance.
Not every brand experience is designed for Instagram. But if your marketing goal is earned media, then designing an Instagrammable experience may be the right direction for you!

When Triple H competed at WrestleMania 35, it marked his 23rd appearances at the Show of Shows, placing him behind only The Undertaker's legendary 26-match record. However, The Game has lost 13 times at WrestleMania, which is more than anyone else in history.
Three of those losses were against The Deadman. Triple H's attempts to break The Streak led to several memorable spots. At WrestleMania X-Seven, Triple H cracked The Undertaker's head with a sledgehammer to escape from the Last Ride.
The Cerebral Assassin put The Undertaker through the announce table with a Spinebuster at WrestleMania XXVII. In the following year, Triple H hit The Phenom with the same move onto the steel steps.
Triple H's other high-profile matches include battles against former Evolution members Randy Orton and Batista. The King of Kings gave Randy Orton a taste of his own medicine when he booted him in the head at WrestleMania 25.


Brother R.G. Stair, leader of the Overcomer Ministry in Walterboro, S.C., is seen in this undated public photo.
Authorities on Monday said the founder of a rural Christian compound near Walterboro was arrested on sexual assault charges after several women came forward with allegations.
Preacher Ralph Gordon Stair, 84, was arrested by Colleton County sheriff's deputies Monday morning, and State Law Enforcement Division agents were serving a search warrant at the Overcomer Ministry, which is located on a rural property tucked off S.C. Highway 61, said Lt. Tyger Benton.
Authorities said Stair is charged with three counts of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, one count of assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, one count of kidnapping, one count of burglary in the first degree, one count of second-degree assault and one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
Following his arrest, Stair waived his right to appear before a magistrate for a bond hearing Monday afternoon.
The Post and Courier confirmed that Stair has been the subject of a wide-ranging state and federal criminal investigation — including the involvement of the FBI in the probe — since October. Benton said that the Department of Homeland Security, SLED and the Sheriff's Office were on scene during an early-morning raid of the premises.
For more than three decades, people from across the country have flocked to Stair's secluded Christian commune near Walterboro to worship and live off the land. Drawn by Stair's preachings broadcast to radio stations around the world, members of Overcomer Ministry surrender their possessions and often sever contact with people outside the compound as they await the second coming of Christ.

AAP state unit after finding irregularities in management of party funds in party unit suspends its working committee in Ajmer. AAP Ajmer also not submitted its membership drive records on time.
The decision came on Wednesday, a day after the expelled convener of Ajmer AAP unit, Kirti Phatak, had gone against the party lines and boycotted the address of AAP state unit convener Ashok Jain during a membership drive in Ajmer on Tuesday. "He not only disrupted the party meeting but also raised anti-party slogans and threw chairs on other members. The act is unpardonable and deserved serious punishment. It has dented the image of party in the city," said Rajesh Pareek, state secretary of AAP.
Tuesday's incident came as an embarrassment for the party which claimed to be different from others trapped in infightings. Eyewitness said people who have gathered to see and hear Jain, and national leader and poet Shahnaz Hindustani returned disappointed. Even the efforts of Jain and Hindustani to pacify the unruly members fell on deaf ears. "They tried to stop the members from any act of violence and infighting but no one paid any heed to them," an eyewitness said.
The party has issued a statement saying that nobody in Ajmer is authorized to collect funds for the party on behalf of AAP. "Those interested in donating funds for the party can log on to the main website of AAP," said party leader Mulkraj Anand. The party has also asked members to start the membership drive and submit details on the its website.
Taking a serious view of the incident, the party has reported the matter to its national leaders. "The party will inquire about the irregularities in funds," Mulkraj said.
The party is also struggling to stop the newly joined party members who are releasing statement on behalf of AAP on the incident. Sources said APP has warned several leaders who have joined the party to not make any statement unless they were told to do so.

For women suffering from hot flashes during menopause and perimenopause, finding a cure is often a long process. With all the pharmaceutical treatments on the market, none compare to natural herbal treatments that have been used for centuries by women in the know.
A hot flash is a quick feeling of heat and sometimes a red, flushed face accompanied by sweating. Some women have a rapid heart rate or chills. Hot flashes happen when the blood vessels near the skin's surface dilate to cool, causing the body to break out in a sweat. Often times they happen at night making it difficult to sleep. Hot flashes are common among women approaching menopausal age, some are affected more than others. Finding relief in the form of natural herbs helps eliminate stress that accompanies the problem.
As of today the exact cause of hot flashes is unknown. Hot flashes are the most frequent symptom of menopause and perimenopause. More than two-thirds of North American women who are heading into menopause have hot flashes. They also affect women who start menopause after chemotherapy or those who have surgery to remove their ovaries. With so much controversy in the news about hormone replacement therapy (A study known as the women's health initiative has found an increased risk of heart disease, breast cancer, and other health risks from long term HRT use) With this in mind it's important that women find reliable natural ingredients they can use to treat various symptoms associated with menopause.
While hormone therapy is used by many women, others prefer the natural route, taking doses of Vitamin E and Vitamin B to aid in the easing of symptoms. But herbs also play an important role in natural hot flash therapy. Here are a few of the natural remedies we recommend for those going through this process.
Soy based foods. Adding soy foods to your diet help balance hormone levels. Soy products such as plant estrogen, which is found in isoflavones, contribute an estrogen-similar effect to the body to weaken hot flash symptoms. There is ongoing research about the safety and efficacy of isolated soy isoflavone supplements. We recommend using natural organic soy foods rather than supplements. Choose from tofu, edamame, soy milk, roasted soy nuts or tempeh.
Flaxseed. Also known as linseed, is used in whole seed and oil form to help ease hot flash symptoms. While there is no hard scientific evidence to back up the support of this claim, women have used it successfully for years. In a small, preliminary study, women halved their hot flashes by eating 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed, twice daily, mixed into their cereal, juice, fruit, or yogurt.
Dong quai. Dong quai (Angelica sinensis) is known both in China and the West for its ability to support and maintain the natural balance of female hormones. It does not have estrogenic activity. This is one of the herbs for menopause that should not be taken if a woman is experiencing heavy bleeding. There are many forms of this herb available such as supplement form, dried form used to make teas, and even liquid injections.
Black cohosh (Cumicifuga racemosa). One of the best-studied traditional herbs for menopause, black cohosh is used to help alleviate some symptoms of menopause, and is considered an effective hot flash remedy. Black cohosh seems to work by supporting and maintaining hormonal levels, which may lessen the severity of hot flashes. Many women report that the herb works well but it isn't effective for everyone. While any therapy that influences hormonal actions should be a concern, black cohosh does not appear to have estrogenic activity.
Evening primrose oil or black currant oil. This is another herb commonly used to treat hot flashes during menopause. However, this botanical is sometimes accompanied by side effects such as diarrhea and nausea. It's important to talk to your doctor before combining evening primrose with other medications, such as blood thinning drugs, because it could cause adverse reactions.
The herbs mentioned here only serve as a small reminder of natural cures you can find to treat a single symptom – hot flashes. There are dozens of other herbs that can help alleviate the other menopausal symptoms women have to endure over the years.


Hello, I am a 23-year-old girl, and at the beginning of 2013 I started rapidly putting on weight, where I ballooned from 128 lbs to 155 within a few months, despite extremely healthy eating and exercise. I had my TSH tested and it was 4.71. I was put on 25 mcg of levothyroxine, which was eventually increased to 50 mcg (I am still currently taking this). It decreased my TSH to 0.69 and increased my free T4 t0 1.2, but recently my weight loss has slowed and I put on a little fat despite an extremely low carb diet. I retested and it showed that my TSH had gone up to 2.1, and my free T4 had gone down to 1.0. My endo was not tested T3, but she finally gave in when I asked, though she refused to test free T3. My total T3 came in at 40 (range 50 – 180, though I've seen 80 as the lowest amount for health), which is extremely low. I have always had incredibly slow metabolism, and even when I was at 128 lbs, I had a lot of body fat. I keep asking for Cytomel, and the endo is almost there in giving it to me, but she insists that my low T3 is due to some mystery illness that she thinks is temporary, and wants me to retest. My question is this: how much T3 should I end up taking, to get rid of my excess weight and body/belly fat, and improve my symptoms (dizziness, extreme fatigue, depression, PCOS)? I want to be around 115 – 120 lbs. I figure the starting dose will be around 5 mcg, but do I need more than this for optimal functioning and metabolism? Should I split the dose? Any advice is appreciated.


The paper was developed in response to the commitment contained in the Programme for Government as well as the Public Service Reform Plan 2011 to introduce a regulatory system for lobbying. It also comprises an important step in implementing the recommendations contained in the report of the Mahon Tribunal relating to the regulation of lobbying.
This extensive process of research and consultation has helped to highlight important issues relating to options for the design, structure and implementation of an effective regulatory system for lobbying in Ireland as set out in the policy paper.

Q: In Azure, why doesn't the same WebJob working from a single storage account scale when running on multiple WebSites?
I'm currently trying to divide a processor-intensive simulation task into a few hundred chunks that are processed in parallel within Azure. I thought that Azure WebSites which offer an easy-to-setup dedicated virtual machine and WebJobs with their easy-to-use abstraction over a Storage Queue would fit my bill perfectly.
I have the following Azure setup that gets freshly created by my code each time I run it

*

*A single storage account

*One storage queue with job descriptions

*A storage container with static data

*A storage container for the results (unique files per job)

*n (for example 8) "Standard" WebSites, meaning there are n different *.azurewebsites.net URIs

*One WebJob on each WebSite running continuously (8 WebJobs in the example) using the WebJobs SDK (JobHost)

*Each job description is <1k

*Each job consists of about 100k of Blob-input-data

*Each result is about 100k of Blob-output-data

*With the current scaling, each job runs for about one and a half minutes

Here is the signature of the job.
public static void RunGeant4Simulation(
    [QueueTrigger("simulationjobs")] JobDescription jobDescription,
    [Blob("input/{Archive}", FileAccess.Read)] Stream archive,
    [Blob("result/{Name}-{Energy}-output.zip", FileAccess.Write)] Stream output,
    [Blob("result/{Name}-{Energy}-log.dat")] TextWriter debug
)

The code then goes ahead to setup a WebSite-local, job-specific directory, extracts the zip-archive containing an executable, runs this executable with Process.Start and writes the captured output to the blob. Everything the Process accesses is available on the machine.
The debug TextWriter is for capturing timing information within the job.
What I expected to see was that each WebSite would take a job from the queue, run it, post the results into the container and take the next job.
What I'm actually seeing is that only a single WebSite is actually running jobs while the remaining ones just idle, although the WebJob is reported as being started and running on each site. The net result is the same number of jobs finished per minute as with one WebSite.
Here is a log of a run, where two WebSites "decided" to participate in running jobs: simulation-log.zip. The storage account mentioned in the connection strings is already deleted, so I did not delete the access keys from the logs.
I have added some timing instrumentation to the WebJob and from that I can see that sometimes running the executable takes twice or thrice (pretty much exactly) the time it would take in a "normal" run
stopwatch.Start();
using (var process = Process.Start(processStartInfo))
{
    debug.WriteLine("After Starting Process: {0}", DateTime.UtcNow);
    var outputData = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

    process.WaitForExit();

    stopwatch.Stop();
    debug.WriteLine("Process Finished: {0} {1}", DateTime.UtcNow, stopwatch.Elapsed);

    outputBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(outputData);
}

The stopwatch shows times of 1:15, 2:27, 3:43, etc.
But some of the jobs that take longer than expected also show an expected time for the stopwatch.
However, in both cases, jobs on another WebSite run instead and in the storage's result container, results show up.
In the end, the number of jobs finished per minute does not change.
Update
Today, I went one step further and created a separate storage account per WebSite and distributed the jobs manually between 8 queues in 8 storage accounts each for one of 8 WebSites. That means from my outside perspective, nothing had anything in common besides running the same code by accident.
This did not help.
It still looks like I have one single processor that has to run all WebJobs on whatever WebSite I create no matter how independent they are. I have created an image of the CPU Time as shown in the portal:

A: My thinking about Azure WebSites was actually wrong and that's why I got confused:
In non-Free WebSites, there are two things that scale completely independently

*

*Computing power available for all those WebSites (a "ServerFarm" in the SDK). This means you select a machine size (Small to Large) and a number of those ("Instances") and these are responsible to run all your Basic or Standard WebSites.

*Software running on an URI like ASP.NET, PHP, or WebJobs

In my thinking, WebSites were directly linked to virtual machine(s) backing them up, but there is no direct connection.
I have now a ServerFarm with n Large instances.
In this ServerFarm, there are n WebSites.
Each WebSite has 5 WebJobs, so that the 4 Processors in a Large instance can be used thoroughly.
Now, everything scales as expected.

If you wish to copyright a compact disc (CD), then you should first know that you cannot technically copyright a CD. What you can do is copyright the contents of a CD, such as music, photographs, or other documents that may exist as digital media on that CD. The actual CD itself is merely a form of physical media and you cannot copyright it any more than you could copyright a piece of paper or the canvas on which you can paint an image. While you cannot copyright a CD, you can copyright anything that is original content that you have created and saved or burned onto a CD.
A copyright is a form of property ownership and protection that exists for a piece of artistic creation or intellectual property. This means that you can copyright a work of art you create, but you cannot copyright a CD or other physical piece of media. If you are interested in protecting intellectual property that relates to the physical creation of CDs, such as a new process by which CDs may be manufactured or written onto, then you would want a patent on your technique or hardware, which is an entirely different procedure.
On the other hand, you may simply wish to copyright data that is on a CD. All you have to do to copyright something is create it in a way that is real and can be perceived to others. This means that if you have typed a document, recorded a piece of music, captured an image on a digital camera, or otherwise created a work of art that you have then saved onto a CD, you have already established a copyright for your creation.
This does not, of course, extend to anything that is already protected by the copyright owned by someone else. For example, if you take a picture of a painting created by someone else, your copyright protection of that photograph would be limited since the painting itself may be protected by another person's copyright. This means that you also cannot copyright a CD or the contents of a CD that belong to someone else, just as you cannot legally own a house that is owned by someone else. In order for you to own a copyright, it must be your own original creation or a copyright that has been sold or transferred to you.
