An estimated 80% of Russians drink Tea. The most popular type in Russia? It's debatable, but many believe it is Russian Caravan Tea. Why? Try our Russian Caravan Tea Bags today and discover the truth for yourself! Russian Caravan Tea Bags are no longer just popular in their home country; people love them around the world.
The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company produce the finest quality Russian Caravan Tea. This also applies to Tea Bags, which one can appreciate 50 times over with each packet bought. Tea Connoisseurs flock to this delicious and full-bodied beverage whether they come from Russia or anywhere else in the world. Is it now your turn? We know so.
Expect strong, dark, smoky flavours with malty undertones from the very first sip. Enjoy it time and time again. And then some more! Better still, there are Russian Caravan Tea benefits to be had from frequently consuming this brew. Providing one has a healthy and active lifestyle, this Tea can boost the metabolism and improve cardiovascular health. It can also support the immune system, enhance cognitive function and reduce the risks of developing type-2 diabetes.
Bewilderingly, the story of Russian Caravan Tea begins in China. During the 17th Century, traders took large quantities of Tea some 10,000 kilometres via the Sino-Russian trade route. They carried the produce on camel caravans, which often took 16 months at a time!
While there were quicker routes to Russia along the southern borders of Odessa, the Tea often suffered in the moist air and climate. Taking the route via Siberia, on the other hand, ensured the integrity of the Tea owing to the colder, drier climate.
At night, the traders rested by the side of the roads. They made fires to warm and comfort themselves. However, the Tea leaves nearby absorbed the fire's smoke. It took on new characteristics never before seen.
Upon arriving in Russia, this turned out to be in the favour of the traders. The Russians enjoy the smoky flavour of the Tea, which evoked pleasant images of warm, toasty fires and good tobacco in the dead of winter. This, of course, became Russian Caravan Tea.
Today, we consider Russian Caravan Tea 'the accidental Tea'. In our opinion, it is one of the best accidents ever to happen!
How to Serve: Traditionalists may use a samovar when brewing Russian Caravan Tea. Otherwise, one should consider adding milk, sugar, honey or lemon.
Tasting Notes: Some suggest that these Tea Bags have a subtler flavour compared to our Loose Leaf Russian Caravan Tea. This is undoubtedly to the taste of many who might find its Loose Leaf counterpart too strong. Nevertheless, this Tea offers prominent malty flavours and aromas, with a delectably smooth, smoky finish.
Like most types of Black Tea, Russian Caravan Tea improves cardiovascular health. This is because of its antioxidants, which combat free radicals in the body. By combating these free radicals, it slows down the natural, though harmful, process of oxidation. This reduces not only the risks of developing cardiovascular disease, but also type-2 diabetes.

2020 marked the 50th anniversary of the publication of James Herriot's first book, If Only They Could Talk.
James Alfred "Alf" Wight, a British veterinary surgeon, became the most famous vet in the world when he started writing about his life as a newly qualified, young vet in the 1930s in beautiful Yorkshire, England. He assumed the pen name of James Herriot and respectfully changed the names of his clients, whose tales are shared in his memoirs.
As a youth and in university, Wight kept a journal religiously but only started writing his memoirs at the age of 50 after much encouragement from his family. He wrote 8 bestsellers between 1970 and 1992. Some of these were later compiled as omnibuses and 9 individual stories were selected to be re-written for children's picture books. Wight also wrote two beautiful books on his beloved Yorkshire that are well worth a look.
I read my first James Herriot book before I entered high school. I loved animals, had a dog and a horse, and was obsessed with all things to do with the UK and country life. Frankly, all of these became lifelong interests. I read all of Herriot's books, then read them again, and again. No matter how many times I read about pampered Pekinese Tricki Woo going "flop bot" or "cracker dog" (the latter is a term much used and much loved by my entire family in regards to our own canine companions), I still laugh. The story of Badger, the last draft horse on a Yorkshire farm which is converting to tractor power, still makes me teary. Practice owner and Herriot's partner, Siegfried Farnon's constant exasperation with his younger brother, Tristan, the challenges of helping Boris the Cat, and the mystery behind such things as the Monk that haunts Raines Abbey are always entertaining. James Herriot's books are available at WPL in a variety of formats.
All Creatures Great and Small was made into a feature film in 1975, starring Simon Ward and Anthony Hopkins (who is worth following on TikTok, by the way). There was also a sequel featuring a different cast. The films did okay but it was the TV series, starring Christopher Timothy, Robert Hardy and Peter Davison (pictured here) that took off, shooting Herriot (and Yorkshire) into super-stardom.
The original TV series ran from 1978 to 1990 and contained 90 wonderful, funny, touching episodes. Casting was done beautifully and the characters from the books, including favourites like Mrs Pumphrey and Hodgekin, Jeff Mallock, Mrs Dalby, Miss Harbottle, Gobber Newhouse, came to life before your very eyes. A new version of the series is currently airing on Netflix and PBS, and a second season has already been confirmed. I must confess I haven't yet watched it. I'm such a dedicated fan of the original that I am just not sure if I can view the remake with an open mind and heart.
If you are interested in learning more about Alf Wight's personal life, there are two biographies: The Real James Herriot by Jim Wight (Alf's son) and James Herriot : the life of a country vet by Graeme Lord. And if you subscribe to the AcornTV streaming service, you will definitely enjoy The Yorkshire Vet. This documentary series follows Peter Wright, who trained with Herriot, as he tackles day-to-day cases at his practice in Thirsk, Yorkshire.
I have been lucky to have traveled to the UK and Ireland quite a bit and one of my regrets in life is that I never had the chance to meet James Herriot/Alf Wight. He once said, "I love writing about my job because I loved it, and it was a particularly interesting one when I was a young man." I'd have liked to have thanked him personally for taking the time to write and share his life with all of us.

Why Oil Workers Are Still Paying $600 To Live In A Closet
Gas may be cheaper, but oil town residents are still paying New York City rents.
By Emily GuerinApril 21, 2015 5:46 amBusiness & Your Money

Oil trucks drive in front of new housing construction in Watford City, North Dakota.
This story originally appeared on Inside Energy.
Oil prices have fallen by over half since last summer. In oil producing states like North Dakota, that's caused widespread layoffs and a huge slowdown in oilfield activity. But one thing hasn't changed — rents. In and around the Bakken oil field, they are among the highest in the nation.
Oil worker Shane Bookout knows this firsthand. He has been looking for a place to live for weeks in Williston, North Dakota, the town at the heart of the oil boom. He recently checked out a tiny house whose owner rents all her bedrooms to oil workers and still lives there herself. She's also thrown up some makeshift walls and doors in the basement to create more rooms. Bookout said they felt like closets, they were so small.
When the owner told Bookout she wanted $600 a month in rent for these tiny rooms, he kept his shock to himself.
"I wasn't rude by no means," he said in his Oklahoma drawl, "I just told her it was probably just too little for me."
Bookout is incredibly polite: He calls me ma'm in conversation. But on the inside, he said he was fuming.
"I think it's ridiculous. They're screwing over the guys who work up here."
That's a common sentiment in the Bakken. In Williston, the average renter pays $2200 a month. Rent averages $2800 a month in Watford City. For comparison, average monthly rent in New York City is $2895 and $1800 in Denver, according to Trulia.com's rent monitor.
Population growth is the heart of the problem. In Watford City, for example, the population has doubled in three years. Despite falling oil prices, there's still too many new people and not enough housing.
Las Vegas-based developer Focus Property Group is one of the many out of state developers still cashing in on the boom. They're currently turning a wheat field outside Watford City into 18 high-end four-plexes.
Co-owner Darrin Badger says, given the supply-demand mismatch, he's not too worried about whether falling oil prices will make it harder to fill his units. But the boom-bust nature of the local economy did make it very difficult for him to attract investors.
"I mean, even today when you say I'm developing in North Dakota, people look at you and go, why?"
At the other end of the housing spectrum is North Gold RV Park in Ross, North Dakota.Rows of campers insulated against the harsh winter sit along a muddy gravel road. There's a view of the many oil trains that pass through less than 100 yards away.
Rent here is $800 a month, and includes electricity, sewer, water and WiFi (heat is separate). I asked the park's manager, Don Mathis, if he thought that was a good deal.
"Being that we are in the Bakken, yeah. I do think that is a good deal," he said after a pause. "I mean you could get the same thing with paved roads, swimming pools and movie stars down South, but we're not in the South. We're in the North."
Mathis' boss is RV park owner Howard Fairbanks. When I reached him on his cell phone, he was on vacation in Hawaii. He says the RV park has been a great investment.
"In fact of all the things I've ever done, I've never made more money."
He agrees the rent is pretty high, but says he wouldn't consider dropping it.
"I'm literally charging what the market bears, and unfortunately the market bears really high prices cause there's so many people that need housing and there just isn't enough.
Oil worker Shane Bookout thinks Fairbanks' philosophy is "pretty ridiculous." He says once there's more housing options and rents begin to drop, landlords like Fairbanks will get driven out.
In fact, he's so disgusted by the greed he's seen in the Bakken, he's done something to try to combat it. In his last job, his company put him up in a three bedroom mobile home by himself. It seemed like kind of a waste of space and he wanted to help out other workers, so he put an ad on Craigslist saying hey, I've two extra bedrooms that I'm renting out. For free. Eventually he did find a few guys to move in, but a lot of people didn't believe him.
"For all these people to have gotten screwed over so much and heard so many horror stories and just worried that someone is out to get them whenever somebody is actually just trying to help somebody else out, yeah it's pretty sad," he said.
If people keep leaving the Bakken due to low oil prices, and if new construction keeps coming online, eventually it might be a more affordable place to live. But the bitter memories of when it wasn't could linger for a long time.

Industry sources: Cyber review board's selection raises 'intriguing' possibilities, as well as questions
By Charlie Mitchell / December 6, 2022
The decision by the DHS Cyber Safety Review Board to take a "deep dive" into the activities of one illegal "hacker group" is drawing a cautious reaction from stakeholders who see it as a departure from focusing on federal systems or specific incidents, but also an opportunity to pull apart the inner workings of a cyber threat actor.
DHS on Friday announced that the board's second review will address "the recent attacks associated with Lapsus$, a global extortion-focused hacker group. Lapsus$ has reportedly employed techniques to bypass a range of commonly-used security controls and has successfully infiltrated a number of companies across industries and geographic areas."
The board in July completed its first review on the Log4j software vulnerability, producing recommendations for government and the private sector on addressing "continued risks" and improving the security of the software ecosystem. The CSRB was created under President Biden's 2021 cyber executive order.
DHS under secretary for policy Rob Silvers, the board's chair, said the Lapsus$ review will produce "authoritative fact-finding and recommendations" that can have an immediate effect for network defenders. The board's 15 government and private-sector members will "take the time needed to conduct a thorough review" and conclude "as quickly as possible," he said. Heather Adkins of Google serves as board vice chair.
"I am intrigued by the selection as it strikes me as a little bit afield from the original concept of the CSRB in the EO, which after all was linked to Federal cybersecurity, but that being said I agree that it could yield some interesting and actionable results," said Bob Kolasky, former head of CISA's National Risk Management Center and now senior vice president at Exiger.
Mark Montgomery of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies commented, "I am excited that the CSRB is moving on to investigate another issue, and I think examining a ransomware group will likely lead to some new and valuable recommendations."
However, he said, "I do think this avoids the next big step which is that complex incident investigations by CSRB will need the legal authorities similar to those of the National Transportation Safety Board. It would be good to see DHS proposing the necessary legislative language to get these authorities for the CSRB sooner rather than later."
Montgomery is a leader of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, which recommended passing legislation to create the board.
Taking a different view, one industry source said questions remain about the underlying value of the review board and other initiatives.
"Frankly this effort and all the ballyhoo about [the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative] is just rearranging the deck chairs," the source said. "A real house cleaning and zero based development of programs with a willingness to cut duplication across agencies would be refreshing but unlikely in our lifetime." – Charlie Mitchell (cmitchell@iwpnews.com)

Rankings for the 20 Best Workplaces for Gen Xers are based entirely upon employees' own feedback and selected from a database of more than 600 organizations that have been certified by Great Place to Work.
To determine the list, Fortune asked Great Place to Work to survey more than 109,000 Gen Xers (born between 1965 and 1980), who rated their organizations on 58 workplace quality questions. Employees considered advancement opportunities, generosity of benefits packages, genuineness of work-life balance support, connection with their colleagues, and the ability to make a difference in their work, among many other factors.
Gen X employees' anonymous responses resulted in a total score for each company, which was compared to the benchmark for organizations of that size. Companies needed to employ at least 50 GenX staff and achieve a 95% confidence level and margin of error of 5% or less in order to be eligible.
To determine our first-ever ranking of the 20 Best Workplaces for Gen X'ers, our research partners surveyed more than 109,000 employees aged 36-50 years old who work at more than 600 companies with Great Place to Work certification. Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants appears at No. 1, and is followed by design firm Kimley-Horn and mortgage lender Quicken Loans.


Singapore -- Sit down in the deep mountains of South Korea. Prepare to find your inner self.
Sang Hwan Kim, the producer of "Zen Buddhism: In Search of Self," which premieres at a Singapore film festival this month, says that one can spiritually die and be reborn, become one with the body and mind, and ascend to another level of life through meditation.
The documentary is set in the Baek Hung (pronounced 'beck kung') Temple, deep in the Palgong Mountains of Daegu, South Korea, during a 90-day event known as Dong Ahn Geo, when Zen Buddhist nuns gather for rigorous meditation, fasting and contemplation.
Kim, a Korean-American who was born in what is now South Korea, is working on a doctorate in exercise science at UNM.
It took Kim several years to persuade the Zen Buddhists to allow him and his crew to film the 90-day retreat, and he finally got permission in 2001.
The Zen Buddhists have been taking part in this event for nearly 1,000 years, Kim said. However, no one has ever been allowed to film the event because doing so is considered taboo in Korean society, especially when women are involved.
For the past 25 years, Kim has been teaching Tae Kwon Do, a Korean style of self-defense, in the United States. He said he has practiced martial arts his whole life. Throughout his teenage years, he trained deep in the mountains of Bisul in the Yuga Temple, three hours west of the Baek Hung Temple. He also went through rigorous meditation and fasting.
Kim said his love for extreme environments, where the terrain is difficult and challenging to live in, is what drew him to the Land of Enchantment. He said it reminded him of his training in the Korean mountains as a teenager.
In March 2009, Kim was contacted by representatives of the 2009 Thus Have I Seen Buddhist Film Festival in Singapore, who wanted to feature his documentary.
The 2009 T.H.I.S. Buddhist Film Festival is sponsored by Dharma in Action, a nonprofit organization that promotes the Buddhist lifestyle in Singapore for the benefit of society and mankind.
The film is scheduled to be shown this month at the Brothers Lido Cinema in Singapore, but it's also for sale online.
Freshman Anthony Santistevan said he would be interested in seeing the film and possibly imitating the Zen Buddhists.
Kim said he was pleasantly surprised to find out his documentary will have a wider audience, being presented on a much bigger stage than he had planned.


This book considers the impact of multinational companies in China on the Chinese economy and on indigenous firms in China. It shows how the global business environment has undergone profound changes since the early 1990s, leading to an explosion of merger and acquisitions activity and consequent unprecedented degrees of concentration in many industries at a global level. It discusses the effects of these developments on the Chinese economy – both on multinationals and indigenous firms – analysing company strategies, activities and value chain structures. It shows that, as China's integration into the global economy increases, new, globalised value chain structures are becoming the established norm across the Chinese economy. In particular, it explores the effects of these developments for local Chinese firms, where the strategy of "catch-up" has recently been a primary goal, demonstrating how difficult it is for Chinese firms to achieve "catch-up" when the competitors they are chasing are themselves moving forward and evolving so fast. The book includes detailed case studies of Boeing, Wal-Mart and Coco-Cola, considering their activities both at the global level and within China, and case studies of the sectors in which these forms operate in China. The book's profoundly important conclusions concerning the impact of multinationals on the local economy and on indigenous firms are applicable to other developing economies as well as to China.


Grim Dawn is an action role-playing game intended for digital distribution on the PC. It was created by a veteran team of developers, including former members of Iron Lore entertainment, the makers of Titan Quest. Grim Dawn was built with Crate's own improved version of the Iron Lore engine and toolset; the same technology used to create Titan Quest. As a spiritual successor, Grim Dawn attempts to better perfect the magical formula of exploration, character advancement, and loot collection pioneered by Diablo.

The HGW Racial Equity Policy Group is preparing for an active early 2021.
At the state level, the Maine legislature convened for the first session of its two year cycle on December 2, and all proposed bills were scheduled to be submitted by December 18. We will review the proposed bills through an anti-racist lens to consider which ones to support (or oppose). We are paying particular attention to bills proposed by the members of the Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous and Maine Tribal Populations, which issued a series of recommendations last year.
At the local level, the Portland Racial Equity Steering Committee (focused on the role of the police and public safety policies and practices) is scheduled to make recommendations by the end of January. We are also following the work of the South Portland Human Rights Commission (more broadly focused on human rights issues), of which Ravi Koil is a member. Finally, we are also assessing policies impacting access for refugee and immigrant families to public transportation in Portland.
Please consider joining us! Policy change is critically important to anti-racist work, and there are many different ways to get involved, to suit every interest – from attending/listening to hearings or contacting your local or state representative, to tracking bills or organizing information . . . and many more! The next meeting of the Policy Group is Tuesday, January 19, 6:30 – 7:30 pm. If you are interested in attending, or in learning more, please email Kathy, Evelyn or Carter for more information.

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
Book Discussion: January 28th • 7pm
Join Sara for a discussion of On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder
The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. On Tyranny is a call to arms and a guide to resistance, with invaluable ideas for how we can preserve our freedoms in the uncertain years to come.
Souper Bowl of Caring - Food Donation
This year for the Souper Bowl of Caring we will be collecting money for Saint Luke's Food Pantry.

Orchestra Dendera Kings leader, Suluman Chimbetu, claims his former wife is continuously taking him to court as a way of forcing him to reconcile with her.
Sulu told the court that Marygold Mutemasango is still interested in him and is taking him to court as part of her strategy to get him back.
The 35-year-old musician also said Marygold should leave him, find another husband and move on with her life.
Sulu said this while being cross-examined by prosecutor Devoted Nyagano.
By Nyore MadzianikeThe musician is accused of defaulting paying US$800 in monthly maintenance fees for the month of April this year.
"I am afraid of going to see them because if I go to see them she will harass me. I am afraid of going there.
"She is a jilted lover and when I visited them, she would jump into my car and attempt to seduce me.
"I no longer love her. I am now legally married to someone else and I have a beautiful wife at home.
"She wants me back and don't want to go back to her.
"She should look for another husband and move on with her life," he said.
Sulu also told the court that Marygold should emulate other women who venture into business to help their husbands look after the children.
He said she should not only wait to look up him for the upkeep of the children.
The Alice Mbewe singer also accused Marygold of failing to properly account for the maintenance fees saying she uses the money for 'other things'.
"She is not responsible. She uses the money for different other things and there are already arrears for schools fees.
"I have been issued with seven warrants of arrest and she must emulate other women who are into cross-border trading, who help their husband to look after the children.
"She must not wait for me to provide for the children," he said.
Sulu, through his lawyer Conwell Mutevhe, is expected to file further submissions in his defence on June 23 with the State expected to respond on June 26.


If you, like me, use a keyboard lay-out different from the default (which is usually US-International), but don't want to get rid of the installation of that default lay-out, for the occasional other user of your system, here's a handy tip.
It works in Vista and Windows 7, I think it'll work in XP too.
Click it and select "Show the language bar".
Click on the triangle, in the right bottom of the language bar that (most probably) appeared at the top of your screen.
And there you have it! you can set a different color around every lay-out. For me, since I use Dvorak lay-out, I selected the green keyboard for Dvorak and the red keyboard for US-International.
This way, I can easily see if I changed my keyboard lay-out by accident and also change it back easily!
I like it, hope you like this small tip too.
Yes, my old case didn't really cut it anymore, as I already explained in an older post (More system updates). In the new motherboard post, you can also see, the upper half of the PC is kinda cut off from airflow due to the immense size of my VGA-card.


As analytics become more accepted, more visible and more desired across hospitality organizations, analysts and IT departments are challenged to deliver data to a wider range of personas. In this information-hungry atmosphere, the key to gaining support and inspiring action across the organization is the ability to "tell a story" with the data. It's not just about presenting rows and rows of data, or charts of results, but rather, using that data to support the story you want to tell – in a highly visual and accessible format.
Revenue managers have always been challenged with interpreting their data to the "layperson" outside revenue management. By focusing first on the action, then the story, then on the supporting points, revenue managers, or any hotelier, will find their presentations becoming more compelling, and their requests granted more often! It is very tempting to present slide after slide of charts and graphs, but often a single visualization that drives home a key point and results in a desired action is much more powerful. You know you'll be able to produce the backup information if it's needed, but you'll provide a memorable takeaway, and most importantly, make it really easy for your audience to repeat your story to their key constituents, adding to the power and reach of your message.
It may sound obvious, but be sure before you put together any presentation that you know who the audience is and understand their expectations. Your material must be tuned to the audience from the content, to the language you use, to the takeaways you develop. Secondly, you need to think about the format that you are presenting in. Will this be in a room or via conference call? How big is the screen? Do you expect questions or discussion? There is nothing worse than watching a presentation with complicated and wordy slides on a teeny-tiny screen from the back of the room (frankly, in my opinion, there is no excuse for giving a presentation that has such complicated visuals, if they have to be that complex, it's not a presentation, it's a report – more on that later). Being prepared on these basics will make you look much more professional.
The most effective presentations are those that inspire an action from the audience. Whether it's approving a request, giving the go-ahead to move forward, adopting a new business practice or simply gaining an understanding of a current status, every presentation should end with your audience clear on their next steps, and inspired to take the action you recommend. Revenue managers are frequently called upon to present analytically-driven material from performance updates to the results of special projects. The required/expected action for some presentations may be much clearer than others. A status update or hotel performance review, for example, may not seem like a presentation that's supposed to inspire action – but it is. Do you want your audience to be able to update their stakeholders after they hear your presentation? Do you want them to start or stop selling rooms during a specific time period? Do you want them to simply be better informed about how the hotel is performing? The goals you set for the outcome of the presentation will dictate the script of the story you want to tell, and facilitate the structure of the material you are delivering.
Knowing your audience means that you can tune the content and the action you want to take, to something that will benefit the audience personally. Make sure the benefit to the audience is clear in your mind, and right up front in your presentation. "I'm Kelly, the revenue manager, I'm here today to help you understand the forecast for the next three months, so you can make sure you have hired and trained enough housekeepers". Or, even better, "so you can take credit for our excellent performance in your next departmental meeting".

Hayward restaurant re-opens
The Ramirez family work together to restore the restaurant after a fire on Jan. 28. The restaurant was closed for eight days while restorations were being made.
TAM DUONG JR./THE PIONEER
Pavel Radostev Pushina,
Spanish Editor
Los Compadres, a Mexican restaurant in downtown Hayward, suffered damages from a fire, which forced the family owned business to shut down for eight days.
On Jan. 28, a former restaurant, The Imperial caught on fire. According to the Daily Review, the fire started due to an electrical problem. Although the fire itself did not spread to neighboring restaurant Los Compadres, the smoke and water damages postponed Los Compadres 49th anniversary and cancelled their planned Super Bowl event.
Jamie Ignacio-Ramirez, Los Compadres manager, explained that the insurance company suggested they keep the restaurant closed until all the smoke was cleared out.
In order to make sure the fire was cleared, Hayward firefighters had to break down the front door of Los Compadres to verify that fire had not spread.
Amongst other repairs, all ceiling panels had to be removed after they absorbed the smoke. Ignacio-Ramirez explained that the smell of burning would have lasted a long time if the ceiling panels were not removed.
"The company Servpro was responsible for cleaning the premises of the smoke particles trapped in the walls, utensils and furniture," said Ignacio-Ramirez. "If you walked into the restaurant just after the fire, smelled something burning."
Ignacio-Ramirez and his brother Eric took advantage of being closed to upgrade the restaurant. His brother repainted the walls and ceilings, while the Ignacio-Ramirez sisters – Sandra and Marcela – organized the utensils and kitchen equipment. Even Ignacio-Ramirez's 85-year-old mother, Teresa, helped re-decorate the restaurant, in addition to keep it running and cook food as one of their chefs.
Los Compadres has loyal clientele–as the day approached for them to reopen, customers sent messages through Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word that the restaurant was open again.
When Los Compadres opened in 1966, the Ignacio-Ramirez family ran into some difficulties. Hayward shops were moving or closing out of the downtown area, making it difficult for the Ignacio-Ramirez family to get foot traffic to their restaurant.
"Fortunately, the construction of the theater not far from the restaurant, helped to attract more customers," said Ignacio-Ramirez. Over time the restaurant has grown into a successful business, thanks to the help of family members who keep the day-to-day business going and loyal customers.
"[Today] the restaurant has customers all over the world, the farthest being from Australia, and still comes once every two years," said Ramirez.
The restaurant is approaching its 50th birthday in operation, which will take place on Feb. 6, 2016. "Not many small entrepreneurial businesses reach fifty years of operation," admitted Ignacio-Ramirez.
The preparation for the 50th anniversary started four years ago. The family has planned a weeklong celebration, which will include live music, special dishes and a Super Bowl event, making up for the one that was cancelled due to the neighboring fire.

"The ship is a 120 gun french ship of the line from 1780. I built it over 8 years stopping and starting along the way. This is the 5th wooden ship model I have finished. I have built many other WWII ships and armor dioramas. This ship is from a kit produced by Mamoli corp and purchased from model expo co. It is 40 inches long 37 high 18 wide with a scale of 1 inch = 7 feet." Wow! What an amazing accomplishment. The model is stunning, with so much detail.

Move over Penn and Teller — there's a new dynamic duo on the Vegas strip! Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi celebrate their "magic friendship" on stage until a Criss Angel wannabe steals the show. Jim Carrey shines in this cheap-trick comedy.

Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) meet in middle school and bond over their nerdiness. Once they learn every trick in the Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin) magic kit, they rise above their dorkdom and head for Las Vegas, where their show becomes a smash success.
Stand Up Guys movie review: Alan Arkin has a threesome >>
After so many years together, their "magic friendship" has become mind-numbing. Bickering over everything like an old, married couple, they are shocked to learn of a new style of magician who is threatening to make Burt and Anton's audience disappear.
Looking like a goth, S&M yoga rat, Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) sports long blond hair with six-inch black roots. Most of his gorilla-style stunts are performed without his shirt to let the ladies ogle his ripped muscles and chain-link tattoos.
Steve Gray quickly dominates the magic scene with his self-mutilations and pain-enduring whack-acts. Burt and Anton are soon scrambling not only to compete with Steve Gray but also to save their show.
Battle of the flicks: The Call VS. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone >>
Every moment Jim Carrey is on screen, I felt like I was under his magic spell. Since when did he become so hot? His hours at the gym have really upped his sex appeal. I would love to see him in a Get Him to the Greek–style sequel to this movie, focusing on the misadventures of Steve Gray alone.
Olivia Wilde plays Burt and Anton's magic assistant, but the filmmakers give her very little to do other than console Steve Carell's ego. Maybe this lovely, talented actress can join Jim Carrey in his spin-off movie. (Dare I call it Steve Gray: Misfit of B-oddity?)
Olivia Wilde: Jason Sudeikis brought my vag back to life >>
Bottom line: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is clever and funny, even if the story meanders while searching for a through-line. Steve Carell is charming but waving his magic wand in very familiar territory. It was great to see Steve Buscemi step into a comedic role, but Jim Carrey really steals the show.
The runtime is 100 minutes, and there are no funny extras after the credits. The film is in theaters now.

Actuaries Welcome Discussion of Meaningful Disclosures for Public Employee Pension Plans
Actuaries Welcome Discussion on Meaningful Disclosures FINAL.pdf
WASHINGTON—Following the re-introduction of the Public Employee Pension Transparency Act (PEPTA) on March 21 in the U.S. House of Representatives, the American Academy of Actuaries said that it welcomes a discussion of meaningful disclosures for public employee pension plans.
The Academy hopes that the bill, sponsored by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., "to provide for reporting and disclosure by State and local public employee retirement pension plans" will lead to a discussion that raises the awareness of public sector plan issues in the United States, including where information is currently provided, what current disclosures mean, and what other information would be useful to the public.
"Millions of Americans—including state and local workers, retirees, and taxpayers—have a stake in the financial health of these plans," said Academy President Tom Wildsmith. "Ensuring that relevant, useful information is readily available about the assets and obligations of state and local pension plans is in the public's best interest. And while making more information available is important, it is also important that the purpose of disclosed information be clear to the intended audience."
A key point that the Academy makes in educating policymakers and the public about commonly disclosed actuarial information is how different types of measurements of a pension plan's financial health are used for different purposes. Some measures are intended to facilitate an orderly pattern of funding over time, and others are intended to estimate what it would cost to settle the plan's obligations. The Academy issue brief Measuring Pension Obligations provides a roadmap to understanding the different ways of measuring pension obligations.
In addition, while a great deal of attention in the public arena is given to pension plan solvency, plan sustainability over time is an equally important consideration. A public policy white paper produced by the Academy's Public Interest Committee, Sustainability in American Financial Security Programs, provides an overview of these issues.
Public pension plans have also been an area of focus for the Actuarial Standards Board (ASB). Over the past several years, the ASB has significantly revised the profession's actuarial standards of practice (ASOPs) related to pensions—including the portions of standards that identify what a pension actuary should disclose when performing an actuarial assignment. The ASB Pension Committee is currently reviewing a proposed ASOP, Assessment and Disclosure of Risk Associated with Measuring Pension Obligations and Determining Pension Plan Contributions. An ASB task force that hosted a July 2015 public hearing on public pension issues in Washington, D.C., is developing recommendations to the ASB for further improvements to pension-related ASOPs.
The Academy's analyses of public policy approaches to public plan issues are available through its online Public Pension Plans Actuarial E-Guide.
About the American Academy of Actuaries
The American Academy of Actuaries is an 18,500+ member professional association whose mission is to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession. For more than 50 years, the Academy has assisted public policymakers on all levels by providing leadership, objective expertise, and actuarial advice on risk and financial security issues. The Academy also sets qualification, practice, and professionalism standards for actuaries in the United States.

How the Salaf studied the Quran
Abdullāh b. Masʿūd – Allāh be pleased with him – said:
When a man amongst us learned ten verses [of the Quran], he would not move on [to the next verses] until he had understood their meanings and how to act by them.
Al-Ṭabarī, Al-Tafsīr 1:80. Shaykh Aḥmad Shākir graded its chain of transmission ṣaḥīḥ.
Abū 'Abd Al-Raḥmān Al-Sulamī said:
Those who used to teach us the Quran (the Companions) told us that they used to learn the Quran from the Prophet – Allāh's peace and blessings be upon him; when they had learnt ten verses they would not move on until they put into practice what was in them. So we learnt knowledge and deeds (implementation) together.
Ibid. Shaykh Aḥmad Shākir graded its chain of transmission ṣaḥīḥ also.
good deeds, knowledge, Qurān, tafsir
ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd
Wasted Devotion
It is reported that a group of heretics (People of Bid'ah) and their devout worship was mentioned to ʿAbd Al-Raḥmān b. Mahdī. He said, "Allāh only accepts what conforms to what has been commanded and what is in the Sunnah." Then he recited, And a monasticism which they (Christians) innovated, We did not ordain it upon them [Al-Ḥadīd: 27]. He went on to say, "So Allāh did not accept this from them and reprimanded them for it." He then said, "Stick to the way and the Sunnah."
Abū Nu'aym, Ḥilyah Al-Awliyā` Vol.4 p44.

The Sunnah is Wisdom
Our Lord! Send amongst them a Messenger of their own, who shall recite unto them Your verses and instruct them in the Book (this Qur`ān) and Al-Ḥikmah (wisdom) and sanctify them. Verily! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." [Al-Baqarah 2:129]
And remember (O members of the Prophet's family) that which is recited in your houses of the Verses of Allāh and Al-Ḥikmah. [Al-Ahzab 33:34]
It is reported that Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī – Allāh have mercy on him said, "Al-Kitāb is the Qur`ān, and Al-Ḥikmah is the Sunnah."
It is also reported that Qatādah – Allāh have mercy on him said, "And [he will] teach them The Book and Al-Ḥikmah, i.e. the Sunnah."
Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharḥ Usūl I'tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah wa Al-Jamā'ah Vol.1 p86, 87; Ibn Battah, Al-Ibānah Al-Kubrā Vol.1 p98; and Al-Ṭabarī in his Tafsīr.
Shaykh Al-Islām Ibn Taymīyah said (Majmū' Al-Fatāwā Vol.3 p366), "A number of the Salaf said that Al-Ḥikmah refers to the Sunnah, because that which was recited in the houses of [the Prophet's] wives – Allāh be pleased with them – apart from the Qur`ān was his Sunnah – Allāh's peace and blessings be upon him."
Qurān, Sunnah, tafsir
Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī, Qatādah, The Salaf
O Believers! Repent to Allāh truly and sincerely [Al-Taḥrīm (66): 8]
In explanation of this verse, Al-Ṭabarī reports the following narrations in his Tafsīr:
He reports that ʿUmar b. Al-Khattāb – Allāh be pleased with him – was asked about true repentance. He replied, "It is that a man repents from an evil deed, and never does it again." He also reports that ʿUmar said, "It is that you repent from the sin and never do it again, or never intend to do it again."
Similarly, he reports from ʿAbdullāh (Ibn 'Abbās) – Allāh be pleased with him – that he said, "A person repents, and then never goes back to the sin.", and "It means that a person never returns to the sin from which he repented."
Mujāhid is quoted as saying, "They seek Allāh's forgiveness and then never go back to sin."
Qatādah is quoted as saying, "It is the true and sincere repentance."

Moderates who become Extremists
O People of Scripture! Do not be extreme in your religion! [Al-Mâ`idah (5): 77]
It is reported from Qatâdah – Allâh have mercy on him – that he said, commenting on this verse, "Meaning: do not innovate in religion and do not sit with a religious innovator (mubtadi')."

Q: How to convert base64 to hex string without using builtin function in JavaScript I want to convert a base64 value i.e: AQ0gIAcDExUQAQECAWQW to a hexadecimal string 010D20200703131510010102016416 using JavaScript in thingsboard. While using atob function i am getting this error
javax.script.ScriptException: ReferenceError: "atob" is not defined in at line number 24

A: You can look at someone elses implementation of atob and copy their process.
E.g.
https://github.com/jsdom/abab/blob/master/lib/atob.js

A: Why not using atob ?

function base64ToHexFunc(str) {
  const encodedData = atob(str);
  let result = '';
  for (let i = 0; i < encodedData.length; i++) {
    const hex = encodedData.charCodeAt(i).toString(16);
    result += (hex.length === 2 ? hex : '0' + hex);
  }
  return result.toUpperCase();
}

console.log(base64ToHexFunc("AQ0gIAcDExUQAQECAWQW"));

According to the United Nations, "impressive advancements have been made on many health fronts. However, to meet the Sustainable Development Goals health targets by 2030, progress must be accelerated, in particular in regions with the highest burden of disease." Quality research on the nexus between health and sustainable development will underpin global progress.
This latest analysis builds on Elsevier's Sustainability Science in a Global Landscape Report which was released in 2015 to coincide with the launch of the SDGs. The analysis shows, for the period 2012-2016, worldwide scholarly output for research linking education and sustainable development, and the related impact, growth and collaboration between researchers in the Global North and Global South. In 2017, an analysis of scholarly research on SDG 4was launched during the UN General Assembly.
International collaboration (between researchers in two or more countries) on SDG 3 and noncommunicable disease, gender equity and climate change is higher than international collaboration across health research in general, and increased overall during the period (2013-2016).
Research resulting from a collaboration between academic institutions and private industry represents a fraction of the total scholarly output (average of 1.5% over the period), however it has a field-weighted citation impact of nearly 4 times that of research undertaken by academic institutions and private industry on their own.


Figures for top states show firstly the states where most people called CANCE live. This obviously tends to be biased towards the most populous states. The second set of figures show where people called CANCE represent the biggest proportion of the population. So, in this case, there are more people called CANCE in Florida than any other state, but you are more likely to find a CANCE by picking someone at random in Florida than anywhere else.
The following names have similar spellings or pronunciations as CANCE.
The following words are slight variants of CANCE that are likely to be possible typos or misspellings in written material.

Q: parent of a node in a binary tree by searching given key this is the function in c that's not giving me the solution
 struct node* serch(struct node *ptr,int x)

 {

   if(ptr->data==x)
   {
     printf(" root of tree itself ");
   }
   else
   {
     struct node *ptr1,*ptr2;
     ptr1=ptr->left;
     ptr2=ptr->right;

     while((ptr1->data!=x)&&(ptr2->data!=x))
     {
         if(ptr->data>x)
         {
             ptr=ptr1;
             ptr1=ptr->left;
             ptr2=ptr->right;
         }

         else if(ptr->data<x)
         {
             ptr=ptr2;
             ptr1=ptr->left;
             ptr2=ptr->right;
         }
     }
     return ptr;
   }
 }

THE code works fine for the node's having both the children(particularly works fine upto the level the tree is balanced) but after that it doesn't work and gives the error
parentnode.exe has stopped working ,windows is checking for a solution.

A: You have several bugs

*

*you are not returning something for the case ptr->data==x. Your c compiler should have given a warning that not all paths return a value.

*you are not checking for nulls
