Residents who live in areas identified as at medium and high-risk of flash flooding, debris and mud flows were mailed information that can be seen here.
What Property Owners Can Do To Be Prepared
The National Weather Service expects debris flows to become more likely during periods of intense rainfall. Be prepared by:
Identifying vulnerable areas on your property.
Using erosion control techniques, such as installing wattles and rock bags, and clearing fire-related debris from creeks and drainages to reduce flooding.
Have an evacuation and emergency plan ready.
Keep your cell phone turned on at all times to receive emergency alerts.
Sonoma Water has installed rainfall and stream gauges in watersheds in burned areas and is working to install radar equipment to improve early warning forecasts for residents in high-risk areas. Use this link for real-time data: www.sonoma.onerain.com

Nag Panchami is an annual Hindu festival practiced in most parts of India. It takes place in the month of Savan as per the traditional Hindu calendar, during the Shukla Paksha Panchami. Hence, the festival of Nag Panchami falls in the month of July or August as per the Gregorian calendar. This year in 2017, Nag Panchami will be observed on the 27th of July and will last till 28th of July. The festival of Nag Panchami takes place right after two days of the traditional Hindu festival of Hariyali Teej. The Tithi of Nag Panchami this year starts early morning at 7.01 a.m. on the 27th of July and will last until 6.38 a.m. on the 28th of July.
According to beliefs of Hindu culture, the prayers addressed during Nag Panchmi to the snakes is certainly conveyed to the Nag Devta, and this is precisely why in Hinduism, snakes are worshipped, as they are believed to be the messengers of the Lord of Serpents. There is not just one lord of serpents, but there's a list of them, among which the most prominent ones known and worshipped in Hindu culture include names like Shesha, Ananta, Vasuki, Padma, Ashvatara, Karkotaka, Kambala, Shankhapala, Dhritarashtra, Takshaka, Pingala, as well as Kaliya.
There are many devotees who choose to observe a fast before the day of Nag Panchami, and hence, that day is known as Nag Chaturthi. In many other parts of India, such as Gujarat, the festival is observed for a long tenure of 15 days after the main Nag Panchami is over.

So there was a weird thing that happened last week. I posted Good News Monday. I was on some kind of lingering contact high from having finished our book, quitting a job that made me miserable and starting work on revamping our blog... and also starting another book. I guess you could say I was temporarily giddy that I found a way to make a difference for animals by promoting veganism in a positive way.
The book is done and sent into our enthusiastically supportive publisher. I mean there will be a series of edits and reedits and proofing and all that but that first step -- delivering -- is done. The manuscript has landed. Now, today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and I feel like I should be out volunteering or at least reminding you that today would be a great day to donate to somewhere you wish you could be volunteering today*.
Instead I will be putting our kitchen and home back together after 3 months of intensive Vegan Betty Monstering, trying to catch up on the sea of emails and maybe tonight I'll try to make the streets of LA a little safer. It's going to be a busy day so I needed easy waffles. And they were lovely so I thought I'd share.

Howard Stern To Replace Simon Cowell On Idol?
US radio host Howard Stern has said he's in talks to replace Simon Cowell as a judge on American Idol.
The controversial star claims Fox have approached him about the job after Cowell himself recommended him.
Stern's massive $100 million a year radio contract finishes in January 2011 and reports claim AI producers could match the fee.
Howard commented: "$100 million to judge a karaoke contest? Yeah, I think I would do that show for $100 million.
"It would be the best thing that happened to me. What a cush job: $100 million for four months. Who wouldn't take that?"

F-35 Fighter Pilots Might Soon Fly With Robotic Wingmen
Kyle Mizokami

From Popular Mechanics
The U.S. Air Force is investigating how to control unmanned drone from its latest fighter jets, the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter and the F-15EX. The unmanned fighters would act as wingmen to manned fighters, scanning the skies for aerial threats. The program would also capitalize on the Air Force's Skyborg artificial intelligence system and the new XQ-58A Valkyrie drone.
Under the concept, future versions of the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter and F-15EX Eagle would be equipped with the hardware and software to control multiple semi-autonomous drones. The drones would accompany manned fighters into combat, flying ahead of them with their radars switched on to detect enemy planes. Meanwhile, the manned mothership fighter would operate with its radar turned off, making it harder to detect. Once the drones detect an enemy target, the pilot can launch missiles.

The robotic wingmen in the Air Force's scenario are XQ-58A Valkyrie unmanned drones built by Kratos Defense and outfitted with the Air Force's Skyborg artificial intelligence system. Skyborg is being designed to act either as a robotic co-pilot assisting a human pilot in operating his aircraft or as a system to control a drone like the XQ-58 in combat.
The wingman concept is intriguing, because, as Defense News explains, the Air Force can go from a formation of four manned fighter jets all armed with radar and missiles to a flight of four manned and unmanned jets, including three radar-equipped drones and one manned fighter jet armed with radar and missiles. Scaled upward, four manned jets can now control 12 umanned jets, allowing the Air Force to put more planes up in the air without increasing the number of pilots it needs.
Photo credit: Kratos Defense
The XQ-58 can fly at high subsonic speeds, carry a payload of 500 pounds, and fly up to 1,500 miles. It's clear that for now the Air Force is thinking such a payload would be a radar or infrared sensor, but once the ethics of drones firing on humans is worked out-if ever-the payload could include air-to-air or air-to-ground weapons.
According to Defense News, an aircraft/drone combo could be ready for flight as soon as 2023, the same year that improved F-35s with refreshed computers and electronic systems will begin rolling off assembly lines.

Israeli military aircraft struck targets in the Gaza Strip early on Monday in response to two rockets fired from the Palestinian territory, the military said. In a statement, the military said fighter jets hit Hamas military targets, including sites for digging underground tunnels, some of which stretch into Israel. There were also no reports of damage or injury from the rockets launched.
Berlin hands transcripts to Moscow for probe into Navalny poisoning
Germany has given transcripts of interviews with Alexei Navalny to Russia as part of Moscow's probe into the poisoning of the Kremlin critic, a Justice Ministry spokesman said, demanding a thorough investigation into the crime. The ministry said Russia now had all the information needed to carry out a criminal investigation into Navalny's poisoning in August last year, including blood and tissue samples. "The German government assumes that the Russian government will now immediately take all necessary steps to clarify the crime against Mr. Navalny," the spokesman said.
China's Sinovac Biotech said on Monday that a clinical trial in Brazil showed its COVID-19 vaccine was almost 20 percentage points more effective in a small sub-group of patients who received their two doses longer apart. The protection rate for 1,394 participants who received doses of either CoronaVac or placebo three weeks apart was nearly 70%, a Sinovac spokesman said. Brazilian researchers announced last week that the vaccine's overall efficacy was 50.4% based on results from more than 9,000 volunteers, most of whom received doses 14 days apart, as outlined in the trial protocol.
So what does a 50-50 Senate get President-elect Joe Biden? Washington has barely had time to process the implications of Democratic control after two Georgia runoff elections that are delivering the Senate to Democrats. The unexpected new balance of power giving Democrats only the barest control of Congress has big consequences for the president-elect — easy confirmation of his Cabinet most importantly — but the road ahead for his ambitious legislative agenda remains complicated and murky.

'Bite' Premiere Has People Barfing
Featured Article, Movies, News
Maybe a bug was going around.
At the premiere of the new horror movie Bite branded "barf bags" were distributed to viewers to up the film's marketing game. Even though the bags were undoubtedly meant to be a novelty keepsake, a few audience members actually ended up using them.
Fantasia International Film Festival in Montréal screened the latest flick by Chad Archibald ("Neverlost") to an audience that apparently overestimated their gross-out threshold. The movie, which follows a young woman, Casey, who is bitten by a bug on vacation and then begins to transform into a bug, was reportedly so gruesome and disgusting that it caused two people to faint during the viewing, while others put their Bite barf bags to good use. In an early review of the film, Rob Hunter, from Film School Rejects, said "Pus, bile and other bodily fluids leak from [Casey's] body, and Archibald ensures that we see the discharge happening in such detail that we can smell it as well."
Body horror isn't anything new, and neither are visceral reactions to films. But this is the age of the Internet, where graphic and disturbing videos are being uploaded and watched every hour. That being said, exactly how disgusting is this movie that it can have such an effect on modern viewers? Guess we'll have to wait for the theatrical release to find out.

High street fashion week, little sister to London Fashion Week, is a high profile event that brings together high street womens wear, footwear, accessories, beauty, lingerie and swimwear all under one roof. The event takes place over the course of three days and is split into two parts. The first is a pop up boutique style exhibition which allows members of the general public to shop for a wide range of high street brands. The second part of the event brings the high street fashion to the catwalk in an exclusive VIP runway show which is to be held at the glamorous Aura Mayfair nightclub.

Court Stands Together With Unvaccinated Michigan Athletes in Mandate Case
Ava GarciaOctober 9, 2021
This is one of the most significant winnings in the field of vaxxed vs. unvaxxed!
With this HUGE EIN, I feel that the unvaxxed are on a good way to be heard and respected.
And opinion still has a chance to strike in this crazy country headed on the path to strict communism.
"Sixteen unvaccinated athletes won another round in their legal battle to play sports, despite Western Michigan University's mandate that all of its inter-collegiate athletes get the COVID-19 vaccination shot," the Epoch Times reported.
"n a unanimous published decision issued Oct. 7, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati, Ohio, held that the university violated the athletes' First Amendment rights.
All 16 athletes had filed for religious exemptions, which, according to the court, the university "ignored or denied."
The court stated: "The university put plaintiffs to the choice: Get vaccinated or stop fully participating in intercollegiate sports. By conditioning the privilege of playing sports on plaintiffs' willingness to abandon their sincere religious beliefs, the university burdened their free exercise rights."
The three-judge panel denied a request by the university to stay a lower court's preliminary injunction that stopped it from enforcing the vaccination mandate.
The mandate would have barred the athletes from playing in games, or even practicing with their teams unless they were immunized against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19."
The representative of the athletes, Attorney David Kallman, senior counsel with the Great Lakes Justice Center, proudly stated: "It's a great win for our clients and for religious liberty."
"The Sixth Circuit Court vindicated their (his clients) religious convictions and that they can continue to be part of their teams.
"We trust all parties can move forward in a spirit of cooperation to uphold the important constitutional issues at stake, as well as taking appropriate measures to ensure the safety of everyone at WMU."
The order affirms: "The First Amendment, as incorporated through the 14th Amendment, prevents a state from 'prohibiting the free exercise of religion."

Melanin is a remarkable molecule that functions as the body's built-in UV protection. Every one of us, regardless of skin tone, has countless melanin molecules in our skin. Exactly how many depends on our heritage - specifically how close our ancestors lived to the equator, and how their skin adapted to protect them from the sun. Melanin is produced in the outer layers of the skin (epithelium), and becomes directly infused into almost every epithelial cell.
The human spectrum of melanin pigment leads to different challenges in skincare. Across the globe, higher levels of melanin are also associated with differences in oil gland (sebum) concentration, reduced skin hydration, increased skin thickness and uneven skin tone.
Most of today's skincare products are not focused on melanin, but on wrinkle reduction. While treating wrinkles is all well and good, the current skincare market does not adequately focus on the global skin diversity challenges we believe are critical to today's woman.
With AVYA, we are shifting the skincare paradigm to focus on the attributes of skin with higher melanin concentration.
Q: Why is it important to have skincare that addresses melanin?
A: Nakra: Dewy, even skin tone is prized by women of all cultures. Unfortunately, genetics, hormones, sun exposure, and other environmental factors can cause melanin disequilibrium—leading to uneven skin tone and patchy pigmentation. Melanin-focused skincare like AVYA features ingredients that control the melanin pathway to produce even-toned, radiant skin. We use antioxidant-rich turmeric, antibacterial neem, and anti-inflammatory peony flower to target the melanin pathway and create overall brighter, healthier skin. The secret to effective melanin control is developing a comprehensive formula that can address multiple aspects of the melanin pathway—that's why the AVYA Qusome™ works and is the foundation of every AVYA product.
Q: What's the role of melanin in our skin?
A: Nakra: Our human biology responds dynamically to sun exposure. The skin cells arrange the melanin granules just above the cell nucleus, protecting our vital DNA just like a sun shade.
Lighter skin has lighter melanin, and so it is more susceptible to cumulative DNA damage—which can lead to skin cancer. The darker melanin in dark skin tones is protective against DNA damage, but darker skin is more susceptible to cosmetic pigmentation irregularities. These cosmetic, melanin-related problems are a major target of AVYA, which contains numerous melanin-control ingredients, including our custom-created AVYA Qusome™ of ancient botanicals: turmeric, neem, and peony. This trio of active botanicals is encapsulated in proprietary microscopic cocoons called Qusomes that protect and provide deep dermal penetration.
Q: What kind of person is typically affected by melanin?
A: Nakra: We all have an equal amount of melanin, but differ in the darkness of the melanin. Historically, in cooler, less-sunny climates, lighter skin allows more UV light through, allowing the skin to produce essential Vitamin D. In sunny climates, where Vitamin D deficiency is not a worry, darker skin prevents DNA damage. The melanin pathway in each of us is affected by our genetics and the environment, potentially leading to patchy, uneven complexion.
To protect the skin from UVA and UVB environmental damage.
To hydrate the epidermal and dermal layers, which in turn reduces fine lines.
To improve complexion by increasing turnover of the epithelium (the biological equivalent of microdermabrasion).
To reverse the skin injury caused by sun exposure and improve skin tone.
To remove dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping or drying skin.

Meanwhile, Hawaiian Airlines also entered the new international markets of Australia and New Zealand in 1986 with one-stop services through Pago Pago International Airport. Hawaiian also aggressively grew its international charter business and pursued military transport contracts. This led to a large growth in the company's revenues and caused its inter-island service's share of revenues to shrink to just about a third of the company's total.[22]

The deeper you travel into distant lands and cultures, the more varied the people you'll encounter. It can be fun and intriguing to meet people of vastly different cultures. It can also be alienating and even dangerous. I've seen women treated poorly, child labourers hard at work, and helpless animals suffering in the streets. Tolerance for other cultures is necessary to access these places and document the realities within them. Our job as photographers is to observe, with the hope that our images may influence positive social change.
Once a black image is created, I clicked on File> Add Layer(s) From File, and used the Quick Mask tool (yellow arrow on left) to "paint" a line around Gui Lian. The Quick Mask tool wasn't sufficiently precise in blacking out all of the targeted areas, so I also used the Masking Brush tool (red arrow) and went over these areas on complete the task....a task that took me no more than 12 minutes; well within my range of tolerance. I then pumped up the saturation using Iridium Developer tools...a task that took under a minute.

All the photographs in this gallery were made using the Fuji X-Pro2 and the Fujinon 18mm 2.0 pancake lens. Since I keep camera dangling from my neck as I click the shutter, the lens aperture ring occasionally slips, so I have a small piece of gaffer tape keeping it at 2.8 or 4.0 at all times. I also keep the iso at 640 most of the time. The photographs were processed with Silver Efex; my favorite monochrome software.
The other challenge is to scout for and find the locations for the photo shoots; locations that provide a "badge" of authenticity to the resulting photo films. In the the case of The Girl of Nanjing, it was the water town of Qi Bao near Shanghai....and in the case of The Legend of Hua, it was the water town of Xinchang' at some distance from Shanghai as well...while the backdrop to The Songstress of Temple Street was Hong Kong's famous Tin Hau Temple and the Canton Singing House.
Hawaiian began acquiring Boeing 717 aircraft for operation on the Neighbor Island network in February 2001.[67] On June 4, 2008, the airline announced that it had agreed to lease an additional four 717 airplanes to meet demand due to the shutdown of Aloha Airlines' passenger operations and the closing of ATA Airlines, with deliveries between September and the end of 2008.[68]
Rosalynn Tay is a travel and fashion (as well as editorial) photographer based in Singapore, and is a peripatetic traveler whose fondness of travel led her to photograph in countless countries. She travels to Sri Lanka, Japan, Mongolia, Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, Siberia, Morocco and even ventured to North Korea. She is a graduate of Spéos, the internationally recognized photography school in Paris. She's also a committed Leica user, and has exhibited her work (Ethiopia -solo- and LeicaXhibition -group).
In February 2018, Hawaiian was rumored to be canceling its order for six A330-800s and replacing them with 787-9s.[82] It was reported that Boeing priced the aircraft at less than $115 million, and possibly less than $100 million, each; the production cost of a 787-9 is between $80 million and $90 million. Boeing Capital also released Hawaiian from three 767-300ER leases in advance; these aircraft were to be transferred to United Airlines. Initially, Hawaiian refuted it cancelled its A330-800 order, but did not dismiss a new deal with Boeing.[83] However, on March 6, 2018, Hawaiian Airlines confirmed the cancellation of the A330-800 order and the signing of a Letter of Intent with Boeing to purchase ten 787-9 aircraft, with options for an additional ten planes;[84] the deal was finalized at the Farnborough Air Show in July 2018.[85]

On the two recent occasions I was in Shanghai, I was thrilled by the abundance of candid street photography opportunities that presented themselves in its old neighborhoods. The narrow lanes crisscrossing these neighborhoods are called lòngtáng (弄堂) or alternatively, lilong (里弄), where whole communities live and sometimes work. The Shanghai lòngtáng can either refer to the lanes that its houses face onto, or to a group of houses connected by them.

The winners of the competition get a photo commission to an exotic destination – great experience and priceless exposure, as the images are printed in Wanderlust. Many of the past winners of this competition have gone on to become professional or semi-professional photographers. "We are often been approached for the contact details of certain photographers," says Lyn. "Organisations, such as travel companies or tourist boards, sometimes want to buy an image for their own use, or to see what else the photographer has in a similar vein. It can be a fantastic showcase."


He kills for all the right reasons.
"People fake a lot of human interactions, but I feel like I fake them all."
Dexter Morgan is an acutely self-aware forensics blood-spatter-analyst for the Miami-Dade Police Department by day, vigilante serial killer by night, and star of the Showtime series Dexter. He's a serial killer with a conscience. An extremely choosy predator, Dexter, played by Michael C. Hall, channels his desire to kill by targeting a very specific population, only hunting those who have committed senselessly heinous crimes and somehow slipped through the justice system. Make no mistake, Dexter Morgan is a serial killer through and through, though every one of his violent acts is somewhat justifiable. His consistently gives his audience the impression that these acts are a reasonable suspension of the ethical -- that violence can be used to combat violence. Dexter is a brilliant critique of violence as a means of peacekeeping.
Dexter Morgan is an extremely amiable, though frightening, paradox. He is a creature who can bring destruction or life, he is savage and unmerciful and at the same time nurturing. He confides in us, his audience, a proclivity for inflicting pain and yet directs this overwhelming desire in a nominally socially responsible manner. For fans of Six Feet Under, the first few episodes of Dexter necessitate serious readjustment. David Fisher as serial killer is a bit startling, if not flummoxing. We are so used to David's passive-aggressive, innocuous, and self-deprecating antics that Dexter's gruesome acts are mostly absorbed with disbelief, not disgust.
As the series progresses, it exploits the fact that it is easy to identify with this likable monster. Dexter earns our trust through his articulate narration and strangely appealing moral compass. He is our quirky tour guide, narrating a journey through the Miami underworld -- a place where the worst of the worst roam free and we are along for the ride. His honesty is overwhelming -- he so convincingly describes his reasons for killing that as an audience, excusing Dexter's violent acts is effortless. At the end of the day, it is oddly reassuring to know that someone like Dexter is out on the front lines proactively addressing the violence he sees in his community.
Shot under this umbrella of violence, the series posits that violence is the uniting force in our world. By gratuitously depicting carnage in specifically cadenced manners, the series spoon-feeds some of the most brutal and gruesome scenes on television. We quickly realize that no one is safe from violence. Children, adults, the police, public officials, country club members, trophy wives, short order cooks, prostitutes, hockey players, nosy old neighbors, housewives, physicians, office managers, felons, and serial killers are prey and predator alike. We are reminded that humans are extremely frightening and that violence is a reality, not a tool. Dexter sees the world as an incubator of violence and himself an active participant.
Dexter is a victim of his past: a crumby early childhood saturated in violence incites him to embrace violence as a means of productivity and identity. Whether or not Dexter's actions are morally reprehensible becomes less important. He convinces us. The further we journey, the more apparent it becomes that a human can very well do what he wants but cannot will what he wants. Dexter Morgan exposes us to a different world -- one in which violence is a given -- but reminds us that it is how one deals with it that is important. Dexter chooses to embrace violence. Thus, the series self-consciously tackles the very complicated issue of explaining evil without condoning it.
Dexter is a fairy tale of sorts for adults. The side of mankind seen through violence is harrowing. Dexter Morgan's attempt to translate the horrors of the world into something he can comprehend and do something about reveals a beautiful, albeit scary, sense of anarchy. In Dexter's world, evil is manmade, the only monsters are human and Dexter is a loveable one.


Ceremony: LP Rod inscribed brass, pinchbeck and silver for initial occasion and donated his robe as material. He properly blessed on 29 March 2018 at Wat Uthumporn, Surin Province together with monks.
Luangpu Rod Arpassaro (aged 70, 47-year monkhood, 2018 C.E.) abbot of Wat Khok Krom, Surin Province. An incomparable monk with Thai and Khmer magical efficiency. He likes searching for herbs and occultism such as Buddhist hieroglyphic writing or any magic he always tries doing by himself to see the power. And when he sees it is really practical, he will apply to amulets for disciples and devotees. Among worshipers can meet with wonderful results from his amulets such as saving from harmful incidents, charm-gaining people's kindness, good business and calling money that suits the condition of economy nowadays.
Power: Thai people believe placing Phra Mae Torranee image (Land Goddess) in their houses or establishments will bring peacefulness, safety, good luck, good things and prosperity.
Power: Nang Kwak is a benevolent spirit of wealth. Her image can be seen in many shops in Thailand in order to attract customers and money.
Power: "Ngung" (also "Ngung Ta Daeng" with red eyes) derived from Khmer magic. Although deemed as a low caste magic of sensuality, Ngung is the powerful and quick way to reach the purpose on charm and love especially as charming attraction towards the opposite genders. Moreover, some sellers use Ngung to attract the customers and it really works.
Power: prevents any hazardous and helps to miss from dangers (wear on waist *recommend for male).


The warm weather of the summer months might be making you feel it's time to take a holiday. Even though traveling with a spinal cord injury may take more planning than it did before, you can still enjoy most of the same experiences.
It just takes a little adapting. One option for scheduling an easy to plan, accessible trip is going on a cruise. Just follow these tips to make sure you get the most out of your experience.
First, start your holiday planning by researching different cruise lines. All cruise ships, even foreign ones, that dock in the United States are required to be ADA compliant. Aside from that, a good rule of thumb is that newer ships are more likely to be accessible.
You can go to a cruise line's website and search words such as "accessibility," "special needs," "disabled," "accessible," or "wheelchair," to see specific information about doorway widths, room accommodations, and other details. Some cruise lines have a customer service line you can call.
If the task seems too daunting, you could search for a travel agent that specializes in finding trips for people who are disabled and have them do all the researching for you.
After your cruise is booked, you will most likely have to fill out paperwork describing your disability and health conditions. This seems like a hassle, but it is important to be as specific and detailed as you can.
These papers help the cruise line make sure they have everything you may need onboard. It will also provide them with valuable information in the event that something were to happen to you, such as an illness or accident. You want to turn these papers in as soon as possible in case any of their special resources are limited or on a first come, first serve basis.
Even if you book an accessible room, your space may still be limited. Cruise ships are notorious for their small bunks. You may want to enquire about the total room dimensions to make sure you have enough space to store your medical equipment.
Accessible rooms should have lower thresholds, wider doorways and sliding doors. The bathrooms should have roll-in showers and benches. The number of accessible rooms is also limited, so you'll want to book as far ahead in advance as you can to guarantee you'll get one.
There are a few other things you need to consider before leaving for your trip. While the cruise ship may be accessible, all ports may not be. You will want to speak to the cruise line about assisting you in disembarking. This is another time a travel agency may be helpful. They can explore your options at all ports to see which excursions will be accessible.
You will also want to check the cruise line's policy on things like batteries, chargers, and equipment weight limits. You'll want to know that you can bring all the supplies you may need, as well as backup supplies.
According to Sage Traveling, they believe Celebrity Cruises to be the most accessible cruise line in Europe. Celebrity Cruises has some of the newest cruise ships on the waters. They have three ships that are specifically designated as accessible.
The Celebrity Equinox was built in 2009. It sails 7 to 13-night cruises from Barcelona, Istanbul, and Venice and has 29 accessible cabins. The Celebrity Silhouette was built in 2011. It sails 7 night cruises from Venice, 11 to 13-night cruises from Venice, and 10 and 11 night Eastern Med cruises from Rome. It has 30 accessible cabins. The Celebrity Reflection was built in 2012. It sails 10 and 11 night Eastern Mediterranean cruises from Rome. It has 32 accessible cabins.

On 23 January 2018 Mr Robi Miah of Luton, Bedfordshire was convicted of twelve counts of the criminal offence of misusing the title 'Architect'. Luton Magistrates' Court heard that Mr Miah practised under the name 'Mia Architects' despite not being registered with the Architects Registration Board, in breach of section 20 Architects Act 1997.
Mr Miah, who also practices under the name Rob Mia, had used a variety of sources to advertise the title, submitted a number of planning applications and continued to misuse the title while ignoring ARB's numerous warnings. He had also stated that he was registered with ARB when he was not. Part of ARB's evidence included previous assurances from Mr Miah that he would to stop calling himself an architect.
Luton Magistrates' Court took the view that these were serious and aggravated breaches and, even taking into account Mr Miah's guilty plea, imposed a fine of £23,700 with a further £5,825 in costs and surcharges making a total of £29,525.
ARB has a Board of 15 members, seven of whom are architects elected by the profession. The remaining eight are members of the public appointed by the Privy Council to represent the interests of consumers and users of architectural services.
The maximum fine for each offence, currently £2500, is set by the Architects Act 1997. Magistrates determine the amount of the fine (and related costs) after considering the nature of the offence and any mitigation put forward by the defendant. Money raised from fines is paid to HM Treasury, not to ARB.

Q: Print files in one line in cat/column environment I need to print a list of files in one line in cat/column environment. The problem is -- it prints in multiple lines:
#!/bin/bash

Files=`ls ~/`

echo $Files # prints in one line as I want. But I have to do it inside cat/column:

# prints files in column -- despite column separator is &:
cat << EO | column -s\& -t

$Files

EO

A: You can achieve the same effect without cat:
echo $Files | column -s\& -t

This won't give the problem that cat does.

For that input have given in the link:
    column -s\& -t <(echo "  -a, --all & apply the sed script to files in current dir and subdirs
-d, --dirs & apply the sed script to first-level-dir names
-f, --file & apply the sed script to a given file. It is a single command, but the script keep You from getting into manuals
-h, --help & show this output
-s, --script & the sed script to be used (currently: `ls $(dirname $0)/scripts`)
-v, --version & show version information
-I, --noi & overwrite existing files")

would work.

Native blockade halted after disconnection orders cease

Tobique, NB Power reach consensus
Protest halted after disconnection orders cease
Victoria Star [New Brunswick]
Published Wednesday July 30th, 2008
Tobique First Nations residents hold signs protesting the construction of the Tobique Narrow hydroelectric facility more than 50 years ago. The protesters complained that NB Power has never honoured an agreement to provide the reserve with free electricity.

The half century-old disagreement on the construction of Tobique Narrows dam by the New Brunswick Electric Power Corporation bubbled to the surface again last week as Tobique First nation residents staged a protest and occupied the hydroelectric facility. At press time Tuesday protesters said the hydroelectric facility is now under NB Power control as natives still negotiate with the corporation.
Tobique residents, who held a sit-in on a small section of grass between Highway 105 and Larley Road, reported to the Victoria Star they were fed up with NB Power harassing Tobique residents about unpaid power bills. The natives contend that NB Power agreed to provide free electricity to the reserve when the dam was constructed on reserve land in 1953.
Protest organizer Hart Perley stated because Tobique First Nation was under third party management, the chief and council decided that the only power bills paid by the band would be social service recipients. That meant that 65 elders and others under the band's collective power agreement now faced unpaid bills of $3,000 to $10,000.
"The community members started coming in and stating they didn't want to pay for their hydro bills anymore.
There were community members that were threatened to be disconnected if they didn't pay in full," Perley stated.
"They can't even begin to pay these horrendous arrears."
Perley said Tobique natives feel NB Power built the dam on land that belonged to the reserve, and Tobique First Nation should be benefitting from the electricity being generated at the facility.
"The chiefs at the time and it is well documented, they were against the building of this dam, and expressed that numerous times. But Indian Affairs, the New Brunswick government and the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission knew this. Chief Peter Bear told them if we can't stop them we should be compensated with free power for all residents and businesses in our community.
But it still fell on deaf ears."
Other Tobique chiefs have tried to negotiate with NB Power but have been ignored by the utility.
"I was fed up with the frustrations of my community and people, and decided to speak out against this injustice," Perley stated.
After natives told NB Power workers they had to leave the hydroelectric facility or be locked in, the workers left peacefully.
But after several days occupying the land around the facility, the protesters announced that NB Power had agreed not to threaten Tobique natives with disconnection.
"There was some electrical service that needed to be done in the community and they are doing it. They agreed to restore electricity to several homes and perform some needed maintenance work at the dam," Perley stated. "We have also requested a meeting with the president of NB Power, the Indian Affairs minister, Minister of Energy, New Brunswick Aboriginal Affairs secretariat, Tobique Chief and Council and community members."
In an e-mail sent to the protesters, NB Power also offered to forgive the unpaid arrears of 65 elders until June 2008, with the Tobique residents expected to pay their electrical bill after July 1.
"I haven't replied to that, but the elders are saying no. Our stand is that Tobique First Nation will not pay hydro and we are not deterring from that stand," Perley stated. "We are going to continue our discussions."
NB Power officials would not comment on whether the hydroelectric facility was occupied by the protesters.
Heather MacLean, media relations manager said NB Power has had discussions with Tobique residents for some time.
"It's a sensitive topic, and we want to speak directly to our customers on sensitive issues," she stated. "We had employees at the facility yesterday."
The NB power official confirmed the Tobique Narrows hydroelectric facility can be operated remotely.


Slice the bottoms off each of the Brussels sprouts, cutting a cross onto the base as you go. Place the Brussels sprouts into a large saucepan of salted boiling water. Cook the Brussels sprouts for 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still retain a bit of bite.
Remove the pan from the heat and drain the excess water from the Brussels sprouts.
Heat the oil in a large clean saucepan. Add the pancetta cubes to the pan and cook until they are crisp and golden-brown in color, but not cooked to the point of having dried out.
Add the butter and the chestnuts to the pancetta saucepan and with a wooden spoon or spatula, press down on them to break them up into pieces. Once the chestnuts have been warmed through, turn the heat up and add the Marsala to the pan. Cook until the mixture has reduced and thickened slightly.
Add the sprouts and half the parsley to the saucepan and mix well. Season the Brussels sprouts with freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, place the Brussels sprouts onto a warmed serving plate and sprinkle the remaining chopped parsley over the top.


The Seagulls were a man down for almost an hour with Dale Stephens shown a straight red for a challenge on Greg Cunningham after Callum Paterson had cancelled out Lewis Dunk's early header.
High-flying Bournemouth were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle at St James' Park and lost Adam Smith to a serious-looking knee injury.
Smith received oxygen on the pitch after going down as he prepared to take a free-kick. Newcastle were already ahead thanks to Salomon Rondon's first Premier League goal of the season in the seventh minute, and he doubled the lead in the 40th minute.
Referee Simon Hooper was centre-stage in Southampton's 1-1 draw with Watford.
Manolo Gabbiadini's first goal of the campaign gave Saints the lead in the 20th minute and Hooper's first contentious decision came when he denied Watford a penalty after Ryan Bertrand appeared to take out Nathaniel Chalobah.
Less than 10 minutes later, Austin thought he had doubled Southampton's advantage only for Hooper to rule it out, and Jose Holebas equalised eight minutes from time.
The result prompted striker Austin to call the decision-making "a joke", adding "clearly they need help".
It was a point apiece, too, at Huddersfield, where they were denied a second victory of the week by Felipe Anderson's equaliser for West Ham.


Vitamins are organic nutrients required in small amounts to maintain growth and normal metabolism. Although most vitamins cannot be synthesized in the body, with the exception of vitamin D & K , and they do not provide energy or serve as the body's building material they are required for maintenance of good health. There are 12 vitamins present in two groups that are recognized as essential nutrients necessary in the diet for good health: fat soluble vitamins " A, D, E, K all of which can be stored in the body, and water soluble vitamins several B vitamins and vitamin C.
Fat soluble vitamins occur in fats and oils of food. They are stored in the liver and fatty tissue and need not be consumed daily. It is difficult to overdose on them from ordinary sources although consuming mega doses can lead to build up of toxic doses in especially vitamins A & D. A vitamin deficiency can result from a diet low in fat soluble vitamins or loss from the digestive tract (laxatives, diarrhea, malabsorption).
Listed below are sources, indications and efficacies for fat soluble vitamins.
Indication essential for eyes, skin and the proper function of the immune system, helps maintain hair, bones and teeth.
Efficacy deficiency: night blindness, reduced hair growth in children, loss of appetite, dry/rough skin, lowered resistance to infection, dry eyes. overdose: headaches, blurred vision, fatigue, diarrhea, irregular periods, joint and bone pain, dry cracked skin, rashes, loss of hair, vomiting and liver disease.
Source carrots, squash, broccoli, green leafy vegetables.
Indication antioxidant converted to vitamin A in the body.
Claim the antioxidant properties of this nutrient may be a factor in reducing the risks of certain forms of cancer.
Source egg yolk, milk, exposure to sun enables body to make its own vitamin D.
Indication helps build and maintain teeth and bones, enhances calcium absorption.
Efficacy deficiency: rickets in children, bone softening in adults; osteoporosis. overdose: calcium deposits in organs, fragile bones, renal and cardiovascular damage.
Sources corn or cottonseed oil, butter, brown rice, soybean oil, vegetable oils, nuts, wheat germ.
Indication vitamin E is an antioxidant, helps to form red blood cells/muscles and other tissues, also preserves fatty acids.
Efficacy deficiency: rare, seen primarily in premature or low birth weight babies or children who do not absorb fat properly, can cause nerve abnormalities. overdose: unknown.
Claim the antioxidant properties of this nutrient may be a factor in reducing certain types of cancer.
Indication needed for normal blood clotting.
Efficacy deficiency: defective blood coagulation. overdose: jaundice in infants.
Vitamins are essential for the normal growth and development of a multicellular organism. For the most part, vitamins are obtained with food, but a few are obtained by other means. Once growth and development are completed, vitamins remain essential nutrients for the healthy maintenance of the body. In large doses, some vitamins have documented side-effects that tend to be more severe with a larger dosage. With proper diet and adequate supplementation vitamins will have an over-all positive effect on your health and well-being.

Hawaiian Electric Donates $10K to Maui Nurses Scholarship Fund
Hawaiian Electric's Mahina Martin (left) and Kūhea Asiu (far right) recently presented a $10,000 grant to Maui Nurses Scholarship Fund board members Anne Scharnhorst, Ron Gess, and Nancy Johnson.
Maui nurses will receive essential education opportunities from a recent $10,000 grant provided by Hawaiian Electric to the Maui Nurses Scholarship Fund. Provided through the Hawaiian Electric Industries Charitable Fund, the donation will enable continued education, clinical learning, and license renewals for active and clinical nurses in the Maui Health System and students in the University of Hawai'i at Maui College nursing program.
"Mahalo to Hawaiian Electric for helping to keep our nursing professionals on Maui and updated with rapidly changing health care information and research," said Nancy Johnson, vice president of the Maui Nurses Scholarship Fund. "The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated how important it is to the health and healthcare of Maui County residents for our nurses to be supported. With our islands currently facing a nursing shortage, in addition to a vastly overworked nursing workforce, the need remains for continued education and clinical experience and learning."
Established in 1987, MNSF is a volunteer-based organization that supports the educational needs of Maui's nursing profession. In 2020, the organization assisted 84 nursing students who served on the frontlines of COVID-19 response since the beginning of the pandemic, with an additional 68 students who joined that effort this year. The nurses helped facilitate COVID testing, vaccination and community education efforts.
This year, 10 nursing staff members at Maui Health also received support to take a review course for the Certified Nurse Educator exam of the National League for Nursing. With Hawai'i nurses required to complete 30 hours of training for their bi-annual license renewal, support of MSNF allows nursing professionals to stay current on advanced treatments, medications and procedures that are a part of a rapidly changing environment. For more on the Maui Nurses Scholarship Foundation, check out mauinursesfoundation.org.
"We're honored to support our island's nursing professionals and we hope more are encouraged to help this group dedicated to serving our communities on the frontlines every day," said Mahina Martin, director of government and community affairs for Hawaiian Electric. "In our efforts to help build sustainable communities, we recognize the importance of ongoing education and clinical learning for Maui's nursing students and our practicing nurses who greatly contribute to the overall health of our communities."

In 1997 Dirk Kowalke realized his concept for an intimate 'American Bar': Using space that till then had been used for wardrobe and public phone he carefully created an invaluable treasure of Hanseatic cocktail culture: the Oyster Bar.
Many guest meet here for an Ape`retif, others enjoy the cozy atmosphere that much that they have their menu directly at one of the wooden tables in the bar.
Here they are 'spoiled' by Richard Chaniewski, the most charming barkeeper of the extra class.
"Ricci" as guests and colleagues cordially call him is heart and soul of the Oyster Bar. He ensured that the new element in the Fischereihafen Restaurant met the high level standard from day one.
His excellent and imaginative Cocktails, naturally including alcohol-free 'Car Drivers' for guests driving- have become legends.
And all his liquid creations are served with cheerful entertainment.
Ricci looks forward meeting you at the Oyster Bar where you finalize your enjoyable evening with a night cap.


Your Starter Guide to Maker Spaces by Nicholas Provenzano tell the story of how he started and built a successful maker space at his school. His guidelines explain what one is, who can help you build one, where it should go, and what to put in it. He explains how it can promote project-based learning and turn failure into a positive thing. Every school should have a copy.
Since making doesn't have a set curriculum, it should be no surprise that this book is written by an English teacher. The goal is to have students use different tools to demonstrate understanding. You don't have to be an expert to turn your students lose and it's ok to fail. This book features Nick's experiences rather than a pile of research. He claims to be a tinkerer rather than an expert and hopes that you can draw on his work to help jump-start your own and the work of your students.
1. So, What is Making?
Nick's definition of making is that it is the creation of something new that was not there before. By being broad and vague it is not constrained. This definition also makes it more inclusive so the everyone can make with anything you can find along with computer code. It is also vital that you ditch the idea that making is for STEM classes. You need to add the arts (STEAM) as the arts bring everything together. You want students to be creators, not just consumers.
Since some students don't have a supportive making environment at home, schools need to provide one. They all need to experience problem-based lessons to prepare for life after school. Another key is that teachers have to see themselves as makers. At the least, they make lesson plans. They also make other things and need to be role models when it comes to making. There is also an element of storytelling as just about anything you make has a story associated with it.
2. I Know What Making Is, but Why Should I Care?
In many schools students don't have much choice about what they do or study. A maker space gives them choice and freedom if they are making what they want. Creativity and innovation are also often eliminated from the curriculum. Not so in a maker space. You should also design your maker space to support collaboration. Businesses want all of these things and many schools don't try to build them into students' lives. Finally, a maker space should be a fun place for students to be. There is no reason why school can't be more fun than it already is and maker spaces can help.

The new Alfa Romeo Giulia here is how it could be in 2024
Gerald Bax August 13, 2022 3 min read
Julia's elegant features can take back the roads of the world. Here's the look that Alfa Romeo could adopt.
when they say Alfa Romeo can't help but think of the Giulia. Famous for its style and aggressiveness, the iconic Alfa Romeo could be back in a new look in a couple of years.
Alfa Romeo (Adobe Stock)
To imagine what fonts, interiors and more technical aspects look like, think about it Tommaso D'Amicoa famous architect and designer, did a large-scale demo of it in a You Tube video.
It is clear from the images how the concept presented in the designer's mind enhances the sporty qualities of the car. In fact, we should not forget that this model was created to satisfy the taste of the most demanding users and also in this case they certainly will not be disappointed.
The new Alfa Romeo Giulia: how it will be
The car aims to revive unique feelings, with renewed aesthetics and personality, as well as expanding in terms of strength and daring.
The computerized rendering takes its cues from previous versions, and is updated in every detail thanks to the inclusion of advanced materials and technologies, both in terms of saddles and leather upholstery, and in the mechanics and front end bodywork.
Internally, the instrument panel is decorated with a wide range of options of the latest generation. From the engine point of view, the Giulia 2024 will be developed and implemented by adopting a 280 hp AT Q4 2.0 turbo petrol engine, automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
19 inch rims are provided. On the other hand, the paint will feature the existing colors with metallic hues that will further improve the features making it particularly attractive.

How was Julia born?
The history of Giulia dates back to 2014, at the time of the birth of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles by Sergio Marchionne. Initially, it was supposed to be a three-size sedan without any reference to Giulietti, but then it was completely revised with the adoption of a platform called Giorgio. Compared to previous Alphas, it was distinguished by its longitudinal engine and a brand new feature, rear-wheel drive.
The car was presented as a world live show by the Historical Museum on June 24, 2015, exactly on the day of the brand's 105th anniversary celebrations, the car was released in only two pre-series models in a two-tone Quadrifoglio version: red and white. However, we will have to wait until September 15 to learn about the technical features explained by the manager at the Frankfurt Motor Show Harald Wester.
The basic versions that were postponed due to technical and design problems will debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Specifically, in Switzerland, diesel models with 180 hp and 150 hp will be seen, equipped with a 2.2-liter drivetrain made of aluminum. Here the peculiarity lies in a variable-geometry turbocharger powered by electricity, featuring the latest generation of MultiJet injection systems.
At the end of the same year, the range will be expanded with the introduction of a 210-horsepower diesel engine with Q4 all-wheel drive and a 280-hp turbocharged petrol engine also equipped with all-wheel drive.
In 2018 and 2019 the first significant updates.

The new Bolt Table is designed by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia. After various experiences of developing wooden supports for tables, the architect proposed an unusual metal frame, extremely simple, but of strong materiality. Three steel interfacing crosspieces in angular sections create a base supporting a round top in transparent extra light glass. The table is available in a single size (diameter cm 165) and three base-frame finishes: bronze oxidized steel, sand blasted stainless steel and bright stainless steel.
