Finding the Calling of My Soul, A Conversion Story
Avigail Rivkah Hasofer, Jewish&, May 17, 2016
Sometimes your soul knows, before your mind, where it needs to go.
I was born in Louisville, Kentucky. My father is Willie Taylor. His mother was Native American, but she passed away when he was young. His father was African as far as I know. My father had a hard life as a sharecropper with his father and his only brother working the land. My mother Anna Lou had a different background. Her parents owned their farm, her grandparents owned a plantation, I am told. The value of education was instilled in her at every stage.
My parents were people of good deeds, helping strangers. My father was one of the founding deacons at our church.
From an early age my brother influenced me to search for "Truth' and for the G-d in the Bible. I wanted to know why I was here and my purpose in life.
After moving to Boston, at age 17, I affiliated myself with a church. I was active in the choir, missionary board, and Sunday school and youth groups I had many questions, but questions are not welcome in the churches I attended.
Meanwhile, I met another group who went to service on Sabbath and kept their version of the Jewish Holy days.
I also pursued secular education to fill the void I felt, but I knew something was missing. I wanted the G-d of Abraham, the One in the Bible.
During this time my oldest son, Shmaryahu was living in Connecticut and was on a similar quest. He and his four children moved to Alabama so I could help him with his children. Together we attended the Messianic group for about two months, but felt it was too much like church.
READ: Chabad-Lubavitch — the Hasidic Sect Known for Its Outreach
Before leaving the Messianic group, at a Bible study session we met Mike Lucy, who was in the process of an Orthodox Jewish conversion. He spoke with the Chabad of Alabama rabbis about our family, and as a result we were invited to attend services.
The first time I attended service and heard the rabbis daven (pray) in Hebrew, I knew on a soul level that I had found what I had been searching for. I knew I was home. I wanted to know everything they were doing and why. Rabbi Friedman explained that we did not have to be Jewish to serve G-d, but that we could be righteous gentiles and keep the seven Noahide Laws.
I knew that was not for me. He advised us to go through at least a couple of cycles of Jewish holidays, which we did. The more I learned about Torah and Judaism, the more it confirmed that I had found what had I searched for so many years.
After attending Chabad for a while, I had a telephone conversation with my mother and told her that I was no longer a part of the church but was now studying the Jewish faith. I was shocked to hear that her grandmother, my great-grandmother, was Jewish. My mother had never mentioned this to me. She said there was no reason to mention it. My son and I tried unsuccessfully to find documentation about my great-grandmother.
The journey to Judaism was not easy. It was not easy to change my entire life: eating kosher, dressing modestly, etc. We was required to move within walking distance of the Chabad House so not to break the Sabbath by driving to services.
After about two and half years of regularly attending services, on January 1, 2006 both my son and I went to the mikvah and took on Jewish life on a higher level. My name was changed to Avigail Rivkah, and my son's name was changed to Shmaryahu Yosef. Now I look forward to fulfilling my true purpose in life.
I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Moshiach (Messiah), and although he may tarry, I will wait daily for his coming.
I would like to thank Hashem (God) for all the Chabad-Lubavitcher rebbes (rabbis) and the miraculous work of Chabad families for dedicating their lives to continue this great work of reaching out to every Jew.

Trump Goes Back To Campaign Mode In Florida After a week of controversy, President Trump sought to energize himself and his supporters at a rally in Florida on Saturday, staged by his campaign operation.

< Trump Goes Back To Campaign Mode In Florida
February 19, 20177:58 AM ET
LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST:
President Trump is spending this President's Day weekend at Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Florida. He's meeting today with several candidates to replace national security adviser Mike Flynn who was fired this past week. Yesterday, Trump took time out from the affairs of state to attend a campaign-style rally with his supporters in Melbourne, Fla. As NPR's Scott Horsley reports, it was a chance for Trump to relive his election victory after a rocky few weeks in the White House.
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: Rocky isn't just a figure of speech here. Someone actually threw a rock - or something - at the president's motorcade as he made his way to Mar-a-Lago Friday afternoon. Trump found a warmer welcome Saturday after a 25-minute flight up the coast. Air Force One taxied to a cavernous airport hangar where thousands of people were waiting to cheer the president on.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I'm here because I want to be among my friends and among the people.
HORSLEY: During the presidential campaign, Trump often bragged about - and sometimes exaggerated - the size of his rally crowds. The packed house last night was another vindication for Trump after four sometimes isolated weeks in the White House.
TRUMP: Look at that. All the way outside of this - this is as big a hangar as you get - all the way outside, way back to the fences. Amazing.
HORSLEY: These supporters, many of whom waited hours in the Florida sun to see the president, are unfazed by Trump's setbacks - the firing of his national security adviser, the withdrawal of his nominee for labor secretary, the court battle that's temporarily suspended his travel ban. Alvina Pitches, who came to the rally draped in an American flag, says Trump is doing just what he said he would.
ALVINA PITCHES: Oh, I think he's doing terrific. I think he - they - you know, the press isn't giving him an honest assessment. But I think he's doing a really good job of trying to keep his promises and make our country great again.
HORSLEY: Patrick McWallace, who taped a Trump bumper sticker to his straw hat, also likes what he's seen so far, though McWallace says Trump might have been a little more cautious in the way he rolled out the travel ban.
PATRICK MCWALLACE: But other than that, I mean, I think it's beautiful. Man, it's exactly what the silent majority wanted.
HORSLEY: Trump won this county last fall with 57 percent of the vote. But a not-so-silent minority was also on hand to protest the president's visit. Kathy McGraw-Davids stood across the street from the airport with a hand-lettered sign saying this is not who we are.
KATHY MCGRAW-DAVIDS: I can't sit by. I have to stand up when I see my country disappearing. He's not what I grew up believing America is. America is diverse and inclusive and kind. And the immigration raids and the travel ban - I just can't sit quietly back and act like that's OK.
HORSLEY: Trump made no apologies at the rally. He promised to rewrite the travel ban in the coming days to address concerns of the federal courts. But he also chastised the judges who ruled against him. And he defended a crackdown on criminal immigrants.
TRUMP: Get them the hell out of here. Bring them back to where they came from.
HORSLEY: Trump says immigration enforcement officers are simply targeting drug dealers and gang members, though others have also been caught up in the dragnet. As he did during the campaign, Trump dismissed negative news accounts of his administration, saying supporters can draw their own conclusions. Andrea Colson, who carried a sign saying redheads for Trump, thinks the president was likely encouraged by the big turnout last night. She says his supporters will be too.
ANDREA COLSON: So much of the time, the narrative sounds like - oh, it's so bad - he's done this wrong; he's done that wrong; he's a failure. I think he wanted to give everybody a chance to actually see - no, the truth is he does have this much support. And he does have this many people that love him.
HORSLEY: That could be a tonic for the president as he returns to the hard work of governing next week.

My Mum Made Man United Allow Me Into Their Academy Illegally – Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford as opened up on his own experiences growing up and revealed how Manchester United took him into their academy a year earlier than normal because his mum struggled to put food on the table.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, the England star said United made an exception to their rules to allow him into their academy programmes aged 11 rather than 12 after his mum Melanie explained their tough home situation.
He said: ''My mum was a single parent, she had five kids all living in the same house. The programme that I started at 11 years old, you're supposed to start it at 12 years old.
''It basically gives you accommodation closer to the training facilities and a new school and she worked that hard to push it forward because she knew that was a step I needed to take.
''I needed to be eating the right food as I was growing, I needed to be close to my team-mates, my new school and my new school friends. She made that decision when I was 11 years old and United allowed it.
''That was the reason I ended up going at a younger age to the others, it was to help my mum with her situation and also get me out of the situation were were in.
''So there is always a big element of sacrifice to get to the top level and that's the one we had to make.''

SHIPPING CONTAINER URBAN MARKET GETS THE GREEN LIGHT IN READING
Moorgarth Group has been granted planning permission to develop an innovative urban market at its Broad Street Mall shopping centre in Reading.
Reading Borough Council's planning committee voted unanimously in favour of the temporary market place accommodated within 16 recycled metal shipping containers. With a lifespan of five years, the project in South Court will accommodate a vibrant mix of retailers and restaurants and incorporate a rooftop stage for live music performances.
The urban market will be home to a range of independent retailers and food operators in an undeveloped area to the south of Broad Street Mall. Boasting a mix of small scale flexible units, the scheme will boost the shopping centre's appeal. Similar mixed-use shipping container pop ups have proved hugely successful elsewhere in the country and the market will offer a unique visitor experience.
The stacking of the units will create a courtyard fronting onto South Court and Dusseldorf Way/Hosier Street, accommodating a creative mix of traders who might otherwise struggle to find appropriate space. The market will allow innovative businesses to test new products and concepts, whilst providing visitors with a far greater choice of places to shop, eat and be entertained.
Gary Lewis, MD of Moorgarth Group said: "We are delighted to have secured planning consent for our urban market in South Court. The scheme will bring a new and exciting range of shopping and dining to the town and is an important step in our revitalisation of Broad Street Mall. We are hoping to install the containers this Spring and by open for trading in the Summer."

June BYOB in Collingswood Brings New Life to Classic French Dishes
By Patricia B. Williams Last updated Apr 12, 2022
Just months before he landed with some despair in the soapy dish pit of someone else's restaurant, Richard "Todd" Cusack's professional life had been filled with foie gras, braised rabbit and precious game. with feathers crushed on the antique French table.
It was early 2020, when he was still running June's first BYOB, the sleek 24-seater he opened less than a year ago on East Passyunk Avenue with his wife, Christina Cusack. It had been the culmination of two decades of intensive training, having climbed the ranks of the salad station of his uncle's restaurant and bar in South Philly to the Michelin-starred heights of Daniel in Manhattan, flanked by several stints under Peter. Calmels. at Bibou and Le Chéri, Starr restaurants (Parc and Dandelion), and private chef duties for Sixers star Joel Embiid.
But everything collapsed a few months after the pandemic. Cusack, 34, had quickly switched this spring from his French gourmet menu to comfort food take-out in order to save his restaurant. But business evaporated in the summer of 2020, and he soon found himself cleaning pots and pans at a friend's house and then running the hamburger grill at the famed Chatterbox in Ocean City, just to pay the rent on his old space. and feed his wife and two young children. : "I came to terms with the June closure. It was bad. But I was also determined that this was not the end.
He landed a new job at a steak house chain and Christina confesses that she hoped he would stick to his regular weekly paychecks and reasonable hours. But she also knew that "it was upsetting, he was not happy … and reopening June was his dream".
And so they saved. And I kept looking for a new space. And suddenly it was there: a bustling corner room in the middle of Collingswood's bustling dining scene that at one point was 90% Italian eatery, now looks ripe for a more diverse menu. (Lebanese Li Beirut is another promising pandemic addition.)
READ MORE: Li Beirut, a new restaurant in Collingswood is a taste of Lebanon
June BYOB's new Jersey edition opened in August with 42 seats, almost double its previous space. They had their same old padded upholstered chairs, gilded silverware and crystal chandeliers hang above lavish white linen tables, plus a vintage silver-plated duck press that a generous customer permanently loaned Todd after a successful dinner with a shrug of 'shoulders and the compliment: "You're not a schmuck!" "
June makes good use of this sparkling 1942 grinder almost every night on her reserve whole duck "trip" for two which is served in three acts for $ 170. It culminates in the table pyrotechnics of cognac flames and duck juice thickened with foie gras and blood flowing from the beak of the press when the carcass is crushed. If you can ignore the medieval method of extracting the essence of this bird, the end result is sublime. The herbed and port marinated Muscovy brisket from birds once bred for Daniel Humm before the chef at Eleven Madison Park went vegan was incredibly tender, the sauce superbly layered despite its surprisingly richness. In addition to the opening dish of a foie gras parfait, a free salad of Lillet and duck confit, as well as more flames for the finale of the crêpes Suzette, I can think of a few duck shows in the more worthy area, even at this price.
June has never been a bargain destination compared to most restaurants. And its current à la carte menu, with entrees ranging between $ 30 and $ 54 for a trio of ducks with a generous portion of pink breast, seared liver and a dome of pithivier puff pastry stuffed with chopped duck, do not reduce the sticker shock. But that doesn't mean June is bad value. In fact, Cusack serves up sizable servings of premium ingredients, from the box of Venetian ossetra caviar offered one night on special with a free serving of Moët, to a piece of fresh, rosé halibut on cranberry beans and peas. frozen lobster snacks. richness macerated with an American sauce.
One can certainly wonder if the great French cuisine inspired by Larousse Gastronomique on the June coffee table even has its place in 2021, following a traumatic year in which restaurants have reappeared much more relaxed and more avant-garde than previously, and culinary trends. continued to move away from the meat-broth-rich traditions of French cuisine that have long reigned in American kitchens and culinary schools.
For all of these reasons, I would say that a place like June BYOB has become even more valuable. With the sad disappearance of Bibou during the pandemic, Cusack is now one of the few skilled guardians of the long Gallic tradition of Philly, dating back to Bec-Fin and La Panetière. And he's certainly not brazing pig's trotters and roasting their plucked meat in fat-wrapped clubs because it's all the rage. Cusack was brought in to do the dishes and work six odd jobs for over a year following the closure of his first restaurant so he could reopen June here as it is clear that he is passionate about this food. . I can taste it.
So when I saw Bibou's famous nautilus platters reappear on Cusack's Collingswood table, I was struck by the unexpected emotion of witnessing a generational transfer with every beautiful bite. The plump snails that tumbled alongside perennial beans through its swirling channels from Bordeaux to mahogany weren't just as delicious as ever, they were imbued with the satisfaction of a heritage that had been successfully preserved.
You will see echoes of Cusack's French mentors throughout this menu, from this pig's trotters, a signature Bibou served a little differently here on Tarbais beans, to the hot mustard vinaigrette borrowed from the old crab pancake. de Le Bec used to dress the hot potato salad that accompanies the duck in a hurry. His crispy sweetbreads sautéed in Madeira sauce with roasted chanterelles were a classic as it should be.
But Cusack, ultimately, also creates his own identity here, too. You enjoy it in ricotta cavatelli mixed with pieces of sweet crab in a roasted corn broth enriched with sherry cream. (Cusack improved his noodle craft at Daniel's pasta station).
I could also taste this in the delicacy of a fluffy rainbow trout fillet sprinkled with Espelette pepper and steamed in fresh fig leaves which are carefully unwrapped at the table by manager Constance de Uriate and covered with an ivory white butter flavored with orange. This dish was inspired by the fig trees that grew outside the Chatterbox in Ocean City, where Cusack spent two summers after June on the grill, still dreaming of his return.
The way back was not easy. The Cusacks were virtually out of bank savings by the time they finally opened on June 2.0 in August, several months later than expected. The cooking this first month was very good, but not entirely flawless Рtoo much vinegar in the head cheese; a disappointing vanilla cr̩meaux for dessert which was bland and runny. And hiring staff has remained a perennial challenge, as Todd currently only has one other cook working alongside him.
But for the Cusacks, who live in South Jersey, there is renewed energy in reopening their project closer to home in a bustling dining hub like Collingswood that continues to grow. Christina says they even filled their dining room with a visibly young date night demographic alongside their many previous regulars, a crowd of vastly older wine collectors who made old June a stop. regular on the BYOB route in Philly.
And Todd, who has been working on making that dream come true since he was 14, isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves. This is literally the case every night after the last table service, once the dishwasher has come home, and it steps in to scrub the last sizzling plates, the leafy trays and restore shine to his well-used duck press. He's back in the moss. But at least this dish pit that he can call his own.

VALLEY STREAM, Long Island -- The employees at a Long Island Best Buy store who showed off their holiday spirit by chipping in to buy a video game system for a boy who frequently visited their store are talking about their good deed.
According to employees, the boy comes in everyday and plays the WiiU up to "three hours sometimes."
In the video below, which has gone viral since it was posted two weeks ago by store manager Rahiem Storr, an employee is seen approaching the boy and presenting the $300 gift.
"On behalf of all of us here at Best Buy, we got you a WiiU," the employees told the child, "so you don;t have to come here everyday and play."
Employees said the boy was speechless and could be seen shedding a tear.
The employees also bought him the Super Smash Bros. game and one of them even drove him home to make sure he made it home safely with the console.
The employees don't know much about the boy, but say he still comes back to the store and they are always happy to see him.


December has arrived and with it the spectacle of COMEX delivering on contracts. Gold went to first notice day on Friday with 1,020,000 ounces of gold standing for delivery. This is in contrast to the registered inventory holding only 590,000 ounces available for delivery. How will these 1 million ounces of gold be delivered? It is hard to tell but suffice it to say that 400,000+ ounces need to be delivered in to make up the deficit. Last year if I recall, 1 million ounces were delivered in for December as it also had a large amount standing for delivery.
"Why" would a short ever wait to serve delivery if by waiting their costs only increase each day? One can only guess that possibly the gold is not there and must be sourced. How can I say something as heretical as this? Because we already know that AT LEAST 400,000 ounces need to be "sourced" because according to the COMEX themselves, registered inventory is not sufficient in quantity to make deliveries. Again, why has there only been 8,000 ounces served in the first 2 days? Is it possible that some of these shorts are offering a premium "in cash" to forego physical settlement? What!??? This is heresy! This would/could never EVER happen; it will be the battle cry! If you think about it, ANYTHING "crooked" can (and does) happen on a daily basis so why would this be any different? If you actually believe that "crookedness" doesn't exist nearly everywhere in the financial markets…then sorry, that's your opinion and will ultimately be your problem.
Has all of the gold been delivered yet from the October and November contracts? I haven't seen enough gold exit the warehouses yet to say that these deliveries have been satisfied. For that matter, a case can be made that not all of the physical deliveries going all the way back to June have been made but that would be just plain conspiratorial wouldn't it? Please keep in mind that going back to Jan. 1st there has been very little gold that has entered the registered vaults and a drain of nearly 3 million ounces has already occurred to this point. We have seen over 80% of the beginning inventory already exit this year…yet no one seems alarmed. I don't get it but maybe I'm not supposed to?
This year has been a one way street where gold has done nothing but exit Western inventories and gone East. China alone has already imported over 1,000 tons (30 million ounces) this year. Then you have the rest of the world to account for. It is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that well over 3,000 tons of demand can be accounted for on the back of an envelope while global supply is only 2,200 tons. The gold had to come from somewhere right? We even know the answer to this question, COMEX, GLD and LBMA have "bled yellow" so to speak…to the tune of roughly 2,000 tons. The tightness has grown so acute that unfortunately this bleeding has now started with one of the truly good guys. Sprott physical gold ETF has now seen smallish redemptions due to trading at a discount and has had to deliver out gold…no doubt also headed East.
This cannot go on forever and those in the East know this full well. Why do you think that 6 different "cash" metals exchanges are being set up to go live shortly? Because they know (or have been told) that shortly the deliveries will cease. The West has been built on "fractional reserve" everything. This works…for a while…especially with the currency itself because that can be freely created and provided. In gold, silver, oil, wheat or heating oil, etc. …not so much. Especially if you are hungry, need to drive somewhere or are cold.
Anyone using any common sense at all knew that sooner or later excess demand over supply would exhaust the existing inventories. This is where the old saying "where the rubber meets the road" comes in. We are, here and now at this moment about to see "who was correct?" Will we witness "delivery default" or not? I suppose that we could see a large deposit (it would be the first one in the last 12 months) and push the event out into the future to the February or April expirations but to what end? The same end. All I know is that as it currently stands, this is the very first time as far as I know (including the 1979-80 episodes) that more gold is standing for delivery than the COMEX reports to be available to deliver. It has taken some 7 months to arrive here after the April and subsequent "ambushes" of price but we have arrived. Something dramatic MUST happen over the next 30 days. Either metal arrives into inventory or it doesn't. Either metal shows up or the COMEX will default. This is a pretty simple observation.
Mother Nature has eaten up more and more supply with each successive raid in price. The Chinese and their brethren have seen the writing on the wall and decided to open their own "arenas." "Arenas" that will spurn fractional reserve trading in lieu of CASH ONLY trading and settlement. We can look forward to a pricing structure that is discovered by a real and free market with no fractional pikers allowed!
this might have a lot to do with the price smash that is on going. don't have enough metal, just smash the price to where nobody wants it. and it's working. wadda ya gonna do. I just ride with the OZs I have.
I agree with J Christensen, but add 1 more point – I am adding to my stack at these bargain prices !!!
The COMEX is taking its last breath just before going under water for good.
They know the system is going to S&%T so that is why they are raiding as much paper contracts as they can. I truly believe something is going to change dramatically by 02/07/2014. This shakeout seems like the last Hurrah before a soldier dies from a thousand bullets. Sad thing is the soldier knows he is going to die, the COMEX on the other hand, thinks they can print GOLD out of thin air and survive.
One other thing, to settle in paper at these low prices will be financial suicide. Who in their right mind would be so stupid?

Q: Android Context Deprecated Context for android has been deprecated.
What is the alternative for that?

A: It seems life of component is deprecated. I shocked while reading your question. Context is not deprecated. You can see more at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.
Check your import. Correct import is android.content.Context

A: I am trying to figure this out myself. It seems if I just ignore it, even though it shows as Context the project will still run as intended.
However if you really want to rid yourself of it, just hide it...

*

*Click on Context

*Click on "Inspection" Lightbulb that appears on the left side of your code

*Choose "Inspection 'Deprecated API usage' options

*Click "Disable Inspection"

That should clear your Deprecated warning.

Moving to your new home or office can be quite difficult especially if you do not have the luxury to time to pack and unpack. When all you have is a day for the move and another day for arriving at your new home, receiving and unpacking your belongings can be a big problem. Well not any more. With pods portable storage, it is now possible for people to temporarily keep their pods on the storage facility until such time when they are ready to receive them.
Here is how it works. First, you just have to call the moving company and request for the pods or storage containers. They will deliver the pods into your doorstep. Now, you do not have to immediately fill the storage containers right there and then. The moving company will leave it there and will wait for your call when you are ready for them to pick it up. This means that you can pack and fill the containers when you have the time. Packing is therefore done at your convenience. The good thing about this is that unlike renting a traditional container, using pods, you are only charged for the containers that you will use. Of course you have to find a reliable company that offers this type of service. This means the company that offers the pods and the company that does not charge their customers for unused pods.
Now, once you are ready for them to pick up the containers, all you have to do is to give them a call and tell them exactly when you want the containers to be picked up. Now once you have given your preferred date and time, expect them to arrive on time. Again, this works for your convenience. When you call the moving company, you also have the option of having them deliver your belongings at your new address or you can have them keep the pods temporarily until such time when you can receive and attend to them. The good thing about this is that at a very minimum rate, you can have your belonging stored at a safe and secured place. You can therefore attend to more important matters, such as reporting for your new job and getting used to your new life for at least a week without any distractions from having to take care of your belongings.
With this new moving solution, you can actually move to your new home and office without the hassle of packing and unpacking immediately. The cost of the pods is also very fair considering the convenience they offer. And even if you will not have your things temporarily stored at the storage facilities, using pods is more cost effective because you are charged only for what you will use. Moreover, packing and unpacking is at your convenience.
People facing an upcoming move have a lot of things to prepare for. Waiting until the last minute to find the right company for a move should be avoided at all cost. Being prepared ahead of time and taking the necessary steps to find the right services will eliminate the typical stress usually experienced while moving. Houston moving companies provide people the services needed to perform a move much more efficiently. Finding Houston moving companies is done by using the internet as a research tool.
There are a few factors to pay attention to while looking for Houston moving companies. The first factor involves licensing and insurance. Professional companies that offer services for a move should be licensed and insured to cover any damages that may occur while transporting a customer's possessions. Therefore, it's advised to only make a list of Houston moving companies that are licensed and insured. The next factor to pay attention to while looking for a moving company is the type of services and products that a moving company offers. For example, some people would rather use portable storage containers during a move.
Moreover, some people prefer using moving trucks or vans to perform a move. The type of services and products that a person wants to use for their move will play a huge role with what Houston moving companies are the right choices. Price is another factor to pay attention to as well when shopping for Houston moving companies. However, price should never be the only factor to pay attention to, and the cheapest moving services are not necessarily always the best option.
After creating a list of possible Houston moving companies to hire, the next step involves obtaining quotes. Making appointments over the phone is necessary for a person to determine who they feel comfortable with. Houston moving companies should provide contact information on their website because it's an indicator of professionalism. It's advised to avoid Houston moving companies that don't provide in depth information or contact information on their website. After obtaining quotes from several Houston moving companies, the final step is to choose one that best meets your needs at affordable prices.
Whenever the subject of moving comes up, the expense and headaches experienced by many people in this situation often result in groans. However, if you stay organized and efficient once you know for sure that you are moving, the experience need not be as painful nor as expensive as you may have thought. To begin, you first need to sit down and ask yourself a few specific questions about the moving project you have in mind.
First of all, how many miles will you be moving from one abode to the next? Once your mileage has been determined, ask yourself how much you can afford to pay a professional in general for any assistance or item rentals for your moving experience overall. When you have these points in mind, search the web for a free calculator that allows you to accurately estimate the total weight and cubic footage of your household possessions. These items comprise the bulk of what most moving professionals use to gauge your ultimate fees, so bear this in mind going forward.
At this point, search the web for moving provider reviews in the city and state from which you are moving. Create a list of the best reviewed moving providers in the city, and then contact each of these providers in question for a written quote on their services. Look over what each vendor is asking for their services, and then reserve the moving services and items of choice that you will need as soon as possible. Make sure that all other moving related chores are done on a schedule in order to keep everything from getting out of hand, and with any luck, moving day should be fairly easy overall. Make sure to write about your experience when all is said and done for best results!
A wide range of different services and products are available for people to use to accomplish a move easier. Moving is a task that most of us don't look forward to because of all the work and stress that is involved. Getting help from family or friends can sometimes be extremely difficult, but professional movers are always available. Finding professional movers is easily done on the web, and there are several different reasons why people prefer to hire professional help to accomplish a move.
First of all, people hire movers because they are unable to find enough help from family and friends. Organizing several different people to help during a move is a complicated task for most of us. Second of all, some people are physically unable to perform a move on their own. Moving heavy items like furniture and household appliances is not an option for those who are suffering from physical disabilities. People also hire movers if they simply don't have enough time to perform the move on their own. These are the three most common reasons why people hire professional movers.
One major benefit that professional movers provide is reimbursement for any items that are broken during loading, unloading, or shipment. People who perform a move on their own will not be reimbursed for any items they may break. Professional movers must be licensed and insured in order to cover any financial loss during a move. Hiring professional movers can actually save you money by avoiding financial loss of broken items.
Finding the best movers is accomplished by first identifying your needs. For example, if you prefer using a portable storage container to ship your possessions, then it's imperative to look for professional movers who provide portable storage containers. Creating a budget is highly advised in order for you to determine which moving companies you can afford. Reading reviews online is a great way to identify reputable companies with plenty of experience. Shopping online for professional movers allows people to discover discount codes and coupons that many moving companies provide. Never wait until the last minute to shop for moving services if you want to avoid stress.
If you are moving then you could probably use a few tips to help to make the experience much better for everyone involved. Relocating can be a stressful time for individuals and families, but a lot of the stress can come from simply not being prepared and organized to do the move properly. Whenever you are planning on moving you should always have an organized list of what will need to be done, before, during, and after the move has taken place. By being organized, you can save time on the actual move itself and be much better prepared for everything that will take place after you have finally settled in at your new home or apartment.
Moving the smart way means knowing what will be moved, which can include any subscriptions or services which you receive at your current address. It is important to keep all of this information updated whenever you have a change of address, because you want companies to know where you are so that they can send you magazines that you have ordered, information on different memberships that you may have purchased, and more. A change of address form should be handled before the actual moving process has taken place, but it should be marked on your list as a priority. Another thing to add to your list will be figuring out what you will be taking with you when moving and what may be better either left behind with a friend or relative, or sold. This can help you to reduce the amount of packing that you will need to do, and may even make you a bit of extra money that you can put into the cost of the move itself.
Another detail to take care of will be whether or not you will be handling the moving job yourself, or whether you want to hire a company to do the job for you. There are also different levels of service that a moving company can provide, such as the packing of your items, providing packing materials, and more. By figuring this out ahead of time you can compare different moving options and their costs, and reach the conclusion of which solution will be best for your circumstances and your budget. These are just a few of the tips that can make moving much easier for you to handle.

Testing begins on Linear accelerator 4
Linac 4 has begun testing its RFQ module. This is the first stage of testing for the Linac 2 successor
By Katarina Anthony
The radiofrequency quadrupole module arrives for testing at Building 152 (Image: CERN)
On 3 August 2012, the Linac 4 radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) module was installed at the accelerator test-stand in Building 152. The site will be the module's home for almost a year, as the linear accelerator enters the assembly and testing stage.
Over the next Long Shutdown (LS2), Linac 4 will replace the Linac 2 linear accelerator as the first link in CERN's accelerator chain. It will deliver particles at 160MeV to the Proton-Synchrotron Booster, more than triple the energy currently delivered by Linac 2. But before the accelerator team can pop the champagne, the various elements of Linac 4 will be tested and re-tested in facilities across CERN.
"The first Linac 4 tests are currently underway, starting with the CERN-built RFQ," says Carlo Rossi, BE-RF Group physicist and RFQ project coordinator. "It's an extremely impressive module. Measuring just 3 metres in length, it can take the beam from 45keV up to 3MeV – just the right energy for injection into a typical accelerator." The RFQ will be able to accelerate both protons and hydrogen ions directly from the source. It will also compact the beam into the "bunches" needed for further acceleration and will provide longitudinal and transverse focusing, defining the beam characteristics and quality for the entire accelerator chain.
Currently, the Linac 4 team are preparing the module for radio-frequency tuning – calibrating the module's electromagnetic fields to reproduce the precise pattern defined by the beam dynamics team. While this is underway, the ion source that will provide particles to the accelerator is being installed and connected to the module. In October, once both steps have been completed, the team will begin testing the RFQ and the subsequent transport line with beam.
This testing brings to a close over three years of work on the RFQ module, whose entire machining was done at CERN. "RFQs are quite special: they are very delicate, sensitive modules," says Serge Mathot, EN Department physicist. "They are always a challenge to construct. The primary difficulty is with the mechanical tolerances, i.e. ensuring the size of the module with a precision of a few tens of microns." Read more about the challenging construction of the Linac 4 RFQ here.
Local testing with beam is scheduled for completion in mid-2013, after which the RFQ and line will be permanently installed in the new Linac 4 tunnel. There they will be connected to the rest of the Linac 4 accelerator modules, which are still under construction across Europe.

As we all know, today artificial intelligence technologies are present in radio, TV, internet, news, magazines, social networks, that is, almost everywhere we look.
However, the area of artificial intelligence Google , DeepMind, and also of the University of Oxford, have joined with the main goal to read the lips of anyone and only by what would be the observation of the interlocutor.
The advanced and ambitious scientific experiment was carried out with nothing more and nothing less than 5,000 hours of television, to be more specific, with programs of the famous BBC chain, where it was put to test the transcribing what would be some conversations in the the software was fully able to read the lips of people with an accuracy of something like 46.8 percent, which is very, very good.
Although for many people, this figure does not seem high at all, since it is, because if one takes into account the fact that a human professional lip reader (ie a person of flesh and blood), subjected to the Same tests, only had a percentage of success of a 12.4 percent only.
For Google's artificial intelligence software to learn everything it has learned so far, it was equipped with a camera and in addition with face recognition software and the staggering sum of 5,000 hours of visualized video.
The software in question has learned so far, more than 118,000 sentences with about 17,500 different words. The television programs seen by the software were of different types and also with different presenters.
The parents of this new artificial intelligence, assure that the software could have numerous applications in the current market, such as, to help the people with some hearing disability to be able to understand conversations. But still, they are still working hard to increase the percentage accuracy of the system.
We hope that this and other future inventions related to artificial intelligence will be used for the benefit of humanity and not for the purposes of warfare, for example.
Surely in the coming years, artificial intelligence will become more and more powerful with the arduous participation of large companies and organizations.

Camels may have helped early Australian settlers navigate the harsh outback, but they're now viewed as little more than methane-belching pests that trample vegetation and wrestle with cattle for food. First introduced in the 1800s by Afghan migrant workers, camels have swelled in ranks to 1.2 million, making the continent host to the largest population of wild dromedaries on the planet. But where the Australian government, which has been recruiting aerial marksmen to cull the animals, sees catastrophic damage, Helen Durrant spies an opportunity. The Northern Territory-based designer spins camel wool into yarn, which she then hand-knits into hats, scarves, and other accessories to prove that camels have more to offer than meat and carbon credits.
The government-sanctioned extermination is justified, according to officials. Each camel produces 100 pounds of methane—the equivalent of 1.1 tons of carbon dioxide—per year, making the desert creature one of Australia's top contributors of greenhouse gases.
"It was the slaughter of the camels that lead me to utilizing camel wool," Durrant says.
Camel wool has amazing properties, Durrant notes. Baby camels provide a soft down that spins into a silky soft yarn. ("I love the feel of it in my hands and you will love to wear it," she says.) Mature camels, on the other hand, have two coats. The rough outer layer provides the perfect raw material for hard-wearing rugs, tote bags, and wall hangings, while the soft fleecy interior can combine with merino wool or silk to create a warm and luxurious fiber.
Durrant isn't alone in her efforts to combat the government cull. The Central Australian Camel Industry Association has established camel-trading relationships with countries such as Oman and Qatar. Several other industries are also viewing camels as possible resources. Camel leather, for instance, is distinct in its exceptional tensile strength and attractive grain pattern. Camel oil is lower in cholesterol than other animal cooking fats, and camel milk can also be enjoyed. "For those with vision, our camels can provide an answer to our future needs," Durrant adds.

We live by the death of others: we are burial places!

Home News Protest Halts Demolition of Stung Treng Bridge—for Now
Protest Halts Demolition of Stung Treng Bridge—for Now
About 150 protesters in Stung Treng province succeeded on Wednesday in stopping local authorities from demolishing a bridge spanning the Sre Pok river that would otherwise be flooded by the nearly completed Lower Sesan II hydropower dam, though the reprieve may be short-lived.
"The provincial authority [began] removing the Sre Pok bridge on Thursday morning because the bridge will flood when the hydroelectric power company closes the dam next month," Hou Sam Ol, provincial coordinator for rights group Adhoc, said on Thursday. "People protested against the removal because they want to keep the bridge for crossing."
Provincial spokesman Men Kong confirmed that the protesters halted demolition and said the authorities would try to find a solution for the residents, who say the bridge is a crucial artery to Stung Treng City. He blamed the protest on a misunderstanding.
"Those people have protested because they saw our provincial authority removing the bridge, and we did not explain clearly about the reason of the removal," he said, adding that authorities would still remove the bridge "soon."
Many of the protesters are holdouts who have refused compensation offers to leave their homes, which sit on land that authorities say will flood once the dam begins testing on July 15.
One of them, Sre Kor commune chief Seak Mekong, said the demolition attempt was an insult to the bridge's royal provenance from the 1960s.
"I think that the action of the provincial authority is completely wrong," he said. "They are now destroying the achievement of former King Norodom Sihanouk."
Mr. Mekong said that 93 families in Sre Kor and another 51 in Kbal Romeas have declined compensation and were refusing to leave their homes to make way for the dam.
They're playing a dangerous game, according to the provincial spokesman, Mr. Kong, who said the dam's initial testing would begin as scheduled on the 15th and that it would be completely closed by year's end.
"I think that they must leave that area, because they are not able to stay there anymore if they close the dam," he said. "We already prepared a new village for those families."
Sut Thoeun, a 37-year-old local who joined Wednesday's protest and is currently staying in his home in Sre Kor village, said he had no plans to move to the new village.
"We will not leave the original villages because it is easy to make money from a small business," he said, adding that the people would not know how to start new jobs if they were to be relocated to the new village.
The dam is being built by local conglomerate Royal Group, owned by powerful tycoon Kith Meng. Its construction has been dogged by accusations of illegal logging and timber laundering.
Prime Minister Hun Sen said last month that the dam would have no negative environmental impacts, a statement flatly rejected by local and international NGOs, which have suggested the dam could seriously impact the entire Tonle Sap basin.
The dam has also been a black eye for the World Bank, which has helped fund the project through its private lending arm. Last year, a group of NGOs urged the bank to bring the project in line with its own safeguards, meant to keep affected locals from ending up worse off, or to stop backing it.

Upon resetting a FormGroup, I would expect the visual state of the form to be reset also.
The form group and controls are reset but the mat-input-invalid class remains on the md-input-container suggesting that the control is invalid.
This only seems to happen when the [formGroup] attribute is on a form tag. Works as expected on a div tag.
Create component with a FormGroup and a FormControl with Validators.required .
Create a form tag with the [formGroup] attribute.
Add an input control to the form with a required attribute.
When running, fill out the form so its valid, then reset the form and model through the click handler on a button. The required control will now have the mat-input-invalid class.
Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?
@mmalerba trying to understand how this would fix the issue for a button already type="submit".
I'm resetting after the form is submitted and a response has been received back from the server in an observable complete block.
Not sure why, using resetForm() method fixed this issue for me.
@mmalerba not sure i agree with your diagnosis. I am experiencing same issues and have only updated from material-beta2 to material-beta3. Main angular libraries remain unchanged and problem has only been introduced since material upgrade.
It looks like this is just a matter of putting type="reset" on your button. Without it, the form is marked as submitted which causes the error styling to show up.
after form is submitted, error styling should definitely be removed.
I understand that a reset button works. However, in my case I want to use a submit button, send the data to the backend server and then reset the form (so a new invite can be created).
Unfortunately, resetting the FormGroup isn't enough. You'll need to reset the submitted state of the actual form.
To do that, you need to get access to the FormGroupDirective which binds the FormGroup to the form and then call resetForm() instead of reset().
@mmalerba I don't think we can call a workaround a resolution. This still is not fixed.
Why can't the FormGroup.reset() method use the FormGroupDirective to clear the submitted state of the form element?
@mmalerba the hacky workaround is just to manually remove .mat-input-invalid on submission. If that's the desired approach, we should put it into the docs as it's a fairly straightforward way to address what should be a common problem for a reusable form that is reset on submission (that from my perspective isn't an expected or obvious output).

Submitted state is based on the FormGroupDirective or the NgForm (depending on if you're using template- or model-driven forms). FormGroup does not hold submitted state.
This behavior is in Angular core, not material. You are welcome to propose a change to the behavior, but that should be done in the angular core repository, not here.
If you simply don't want .mat-input-invalid to depend at all on submitted state, you will be able to purpose #4750 for that once it lands.
Any Update on this fix?
@jplew an advantage of using (ngSubmit) on form is that the form is automatically submitted when you press Enter in a text field. You would need to do that manually.
Actually this is still a bug only in material.
It has nothing to do with resetting the submit state.
In angular core i can put markAsPristine and markAsUntouched on a single formControl.
The css classes get set correctly ignoring if it was submitted or not.
The question is why put css class mat-form-field-invalid on it, when there is already ng-invalid.
The "red-state" could be calculated like this: ng-invalid && ng-touched finish, it would work.
Will the problem be solved in the next 1 - 2 releases? Since the problem already exists since 2017?
it seems this is still an issue.
the workaround from @willshowell worked for me, but had to go through some research to get this fixed. Thinking it could be fixed with alternatives already provided here, or at least better documented.
@emadkheiralla, while that works for a 1 level structure, it won't work for nested controls. You would need to create a recursive function for that. It also is not recommended, see #4190 (comment).


Hello my name is M. I need help.
Post subject: Hello my name is M. I need help.
Hello. My name is M. I live in Oslo. I'm 41 years old. People say I look 10 years younger. I'm a foreigner in this country. Moved here almost 3 years ago.
Ive been dealing with lots of insecurity about myself. Lots of low self esteem. Anxiety. Many times I feel bad about myself.
I don't have big social circle. Don't have friends in the true honest meaning of friend. If I want to talk about something that bothers me... I don't have no one. I think I my start to go on social Meetups... Just to get to know someone.
Ive been seeing this YouTube videos... About social dynamics, date coaching, approach... Etc. You know, I think it should improve my life for better. If I could just start doing it. Not in a way to get to girls.. But in a way to find myself. Show my real self. Gain confidence and believe more in me. Girls are just a way for that.
And I don't know. I just need an advice. I had a very disappointing day again and I tried to go out today... Try to connect.. and I wanted to "I need this... Must be now"..But my social anxiety kills me. I just can't do it... But I'm sure the moment I do it.. I know the person I am, I know the moment I do it I will accomplish wherever I want. And it just flows... And Im gonna talk with anyone.
And gets me thinking.. Is that so hard? The first approach?
