For Palestinians in Lebanon, 69 Years of Despair
admin May 14, 2017 Sports
SIDON, LEBANON �
Ahmad Dawoud recalls the day 10 years ago when a Lebanese soldier asked to search his taxi. Then 17, the Palestinian didn't wait for the soldier to find the weapons hidden in the trunk.
He jumped from the car and fled into the nearby Palestinian refugee camp, where the Lebanese army has no authority.
But it was not long afterward that Dawoud, who once admired the radical groups that have sprouted in the camps in Lebanon, decided he was tired of running. That same year, in 2007, he surrendered to authorities and spent 14 hard months in jail.
Although he was released without a conviction, he couldn't erase the biggest strike against him: As a Palestinian in Lebanon, he is a stateless, second-class resident in the only country where he's ever lived.
On Monday, Palestinians mark 69 years since hundreds of thousands of them were forced from their homes during the 1948 war that led to the creation of Israel. Many settled in the neighboring West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
As refugees, various U.N. charters entitle them and their descendants to the right to work and a dignified living until they can return to their homes or such settlement is reached.
But Palestinians in Lebanon suffer discrimination in nearly every aspect of daily life, feeding a desperation that is tearing their community apart.
Many live in settlements officially recognized as refugee camps but better described as concrete ghettos ringed by checkpoints and, in some cases, blast walls and barbed wire. The U.N. runs schools and subsidizes health care inside.
In Lebanon, there are 450,000 refugees registered in 12 camps, where Lebanese authorities have no jurisdiction inside.
"Our lot is less than zero," Dawoud said in a recent interview outside Ein el-Hilweh, the crowded camp in Sidon that is one of the most volatile.
On peaceful days, children play in the damp alleys and merchants park their carts of produce along the camp's main streets.
But the place feels hopelessly divided along factional and militant lines, and it frequently breaks down into fighting between Palestinian security forces and militants or gangs that capitalize on the general despair.
Last month, 10 people were killed in a flare-up that drove out thousands of the camp's estimated population of 75,000.
Palestinians are prohibited from working in most professions, from medicine to transportation. Because of restrictions on ownership, what little property they have is bought under Lebanese names, leaving them vulnerable to embezzlement and expropriation.
They pay into Lebanon's social security fund but receive no benefits. Medical costs are crippling. And they have little hope for remediation from the Lebanese courts.
Doctors are prohibited from working in the Lebanese market, so they find work only in the camps or agree to work for Lebanese clinics off the books, and sign prescriptions under Lebanese doctors' names. That leaves them open to employer abuse, a condition normally associated with low-skill work.
"If a young boy gets in trouble because he is Palestinian, the prosecutor writes in his note to the judge, He is Palestinian,' meaning: Do what you wish to him. Be cruel to him. Forget about his rights,"' said Sheikh Mohammad Muwad, a Palestinian imam in Sidon.
The crush of war refugees from Syria has made it even harder for Palestinians here to find work. Nearly six in 10 under age 25 are unemployed, according to the U.N.'s Palestinian relief agency UNRWA, and two-thirds of all Palestinians here live below the poverty line.
UNRWA country director Claudio Cordone said they feel trapped in political limbo and see an "almost total lack of meaningful political prospects of a solution" to their original displacement from Palestine.
Lebanese politicians say that assimilating Palestinians into society would undermine their right to return. But Palestinians say they are not asking for assimilation or nationality, just civil rights.
"They starve us, so we go back to Palestine. They deprive us, so that we go back to Palestine. Well, go ahead, send us back to Palestine! Let us go to the border, and we will march back into Palestine, no matter how many martyrs we must give," Muwad said.
For those in the camps, the line between hustling and criminality is often blurred. Unemployed and feeling abandoned by the authorities, many turn to gangs for work.
Adding to this is a widely shared disaffection with the Palestine Liberation Organization, which many Palestinians now see as having sold out their rights with the failed Oslo Accords of 1994.
This has helped fuel the rise of radical Islam - a shift in the occupied Palestinian territories that is reflected by Hamas' rising popularity, and one outside the territories in the meteoric trajectory of militant groups such as Fatah al-Islam in the volatile and deprived Nahr al-Bared camp.
Growing up in Nahr al-Bared, a camp much like Ein el-Hilweh, Dawoud felt a strong affiliation for Fatah al-Islam, his gateway to radical extremism.
"They were the only ones who seemed honest," he said. "Of course, later I figured out they were just like everyone else, too."
In 2007, the Lebanese army razed most of Nahr al-Bared to crush Fatah al-Islam.
By that time, Dawoud already was in Ein el-Hilweh, and his arrest was the beginning of a slow falling out with the gangs that once sheltered him and treated him like a brother. After his stint in prison, they began to feel they couldn't trust him, and he was chased out of Ein el-Hilweh in 2013. Now, he can only enter the parts of the settlement firmly under PLO control.
With no job, no prospects and little wealth, Dawoud now runs errands for others in his white 1980s-era BMW - all done under the table, of course. Palestinians cannot apply for the red license plates that identify taxis and other commercial vehicles.
"I don't even think about marrying and getting into those situations," he said, waving off starting a family at age 27. His ambition now is to apply for a visa to leave Lebanon. But first he needs a travel document, and for that he needs to be on good terms with the Lebanese authorities.
Not all Palestinians live in camps, but even the most privileged among them endure discrimination.
At a panel on Palestinian labor rights at the American University of Beirut, Muhammad Hussein asked a Lebanese Labor Ministry official why he was denied work even in sectors that are formally open to Palestinian employment.
The 22-year-old graduate showed the official an email he received from a marketing firm in Dubai refusing his job application on the grounds that the Lebanese office had to give priority to Lebanese workers.
"The problem isn't finding vacancies," Hussein said. "It's getting the job."

At a very young age Rodney Allgood built two very successful businesses and generated well into the seven figures before the age of 30, but like so many others he faced the challenges that life throws out there – like divorce, the crash of the economy, and many other personal challenges. Suddenly Rodney was left with virtually nothing that he had built for 20 years and felt lost, lonely and confused. After realizing his true calling in life, Rodney was able to pick himself up and rebuild his life one brick at a time.
He teaches his audiences that you can either get BITTER or you can get BETTER. His message is that by embracing the good and the bad in our lives that we will find that we have the experiences and wisdom to create a life on a level that we never knew before. That we can be more fulfilled, more successful and more satisfied that you ever thought possible!
Rodney Allgood motivates audience members to improve their personal performance, and gives them real tools and "how to's" that they can take back to their teams, and implement right away. Rodney is a master at what he does. He delivers a hard-hitting wake-up call – with powerful lessons and stories – in a way that motivates and generates action. Additionally, Rodney adds poetry and humor to every speaking engagement so that attendees are entertained and inspired. Over and over again, attendees at Rodney's presentations say they are not only motivated, they experience a shift in their confidence and knowledge of what they need to do differently!
160,00 kids miss school every day in this country because of the fear of being bullied. Teens rarely take the time to think about the effect they have on others. Teens walk away from this presentation feeling understood, supported and empowered.
Rodney believes that all of us were born with the ability to become great at something in life and that we are all uniquely gifted.
The earlier a teen identifies themselves as a leader, the quicker he or she is to begin living in a responsible way. Youth leaders are the key to creating a culture where things like bullying rarely exist. We teach teens how to achieve the highest levels of leadership at a young age.
In this talk Rodney demonstrates creating your B.E.S.T. YOU can be accomplished by four things B- for expanding your BELIEFS about yourself, and what is possible, E- for controlling your EMOTIONS, S- for using only positive SELF TALK, and T- for managing your THOUGHTS.
Here Rodney explains the mental edge that true champions have over their competition. At the highest levels, all are skilled, and talented, but a true champion always has the champions mindset.
In this speech Rodney shows how children are sometimes closer to understanding human potential, as they allow themselves the wildest dreams, believe that anything is possible, and they ask lots of questions. As Albert Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge, and we can certainly learn this from children.
"I have known and worked with Rodney Allgood for the past 7 years. Over the years, I have shared the stage with Rodney and have been an audience member, watching Rodney speak. It is always such an enjoyable presentation when Rodney is speaking. His natural ability to take charge of a room and relate to the audience is unparalleled. He prepares for his audience and his co-speakers and is always relevant and insightful. His style of speaking draws the audience in, you see them actually leaning in towards the stage. He mixes in humor at the right time and his delivery is easy to listen to. Mr. Allgood is just that when he speaks… ALL GOOD!!" Todd Denkin Speaker/Presenter, Las Vegas NV.
" When it comes to Rodney Allgood, one thing I know for sure is that his optimistic lifestyle and the words he shares are contagious. With a natural presence of leadership Rodney encourages, uplifts and edifies people around him continually. His wisdom is beyond his years and I also find that he has the ability to be just as sensitive a listener as speaker. I gladly endorse Rodney Allgood as a positive influence for men and women throughout the world. He motivates with compassion and teaches from experience." Adisa Omar Camara, Radio Personality KDLX Radio 94.3 Maui, HI.
"I had the pleasure of working with Rodney in the past years and it was refreshing to work with someone who was so positive and knowledgeable. I enjoyed his training and coaching style towards team building and he was always well received by the groups he was presenting. I would consider Rodney to be a great resource and asset to any company or organization." Rich Schott , International Success Coach, Trainer & Mentor Baltimore, MD.

Dan Ar Braz, född som Daniel Le Bras, 15 januari 1949 i Quimper, Bretagne, Frankrike, är en fransk (bretonsk) gitarrist och sångare.

Karriär
Han fick sin första gitarr som 13-åring och hade The Shadows, Jimi Hendrix och Bob Dylan som förebilder. 1967 träffade han Alan Stivell som bjöd in honom i sin grupp. De spelade keltisk musik och Daniels elgitarr skapade en speciell ljudbild tillsammans med de övriga instrumenten, däribland säckpipa. Gruppen kom att under början av 1970-talet turnera i Europa, Nordamerika och Australien. Han ändrade sitt namn till Dan Ar Bras för att påvisa sitt bretagnska arv.
Efter att ha försökt sig på en solokarriär, flyttat till Storbritannien och återigen bytt namn (till Dan Ar Braz) gav han konserter med gruppen Fairport Convention. I slutet av decenniet återvände han till Bretagne och spelade in soloskivor. Under 1980-talet turnerade han i både Europa och USA och det mesta av hans material var instrumentalt. Under 2000-talet har Dan Ar Braz återvänt till solokarriären efter att ha arbetat med L'Héritage des Celtes.

L'Héritage des Celtes
1992 organiserade han Festival de Cornouaille i Quimper. Han använde sig av sina många kontakter i Storbritannien, Frankrike och USA och skapade gruppen L'Héritage des Celtes tillsammans med Donal Lunny från Irland, Karen Matheson från Skottland, Elaine Morgan från Wales och Bagad Kemper och Alan Stivell från Bretagne. I hela festivalen deltog 75 musiker.

L'Héritage des Celtes sålde 100 000 exemplar av sitt album och blev 1996 utsedda som Frankrikes representanter i Eurovision Song Contest i Oslo. Deras bidrag Diwanit Bugale är det enda franska bidrag som framförts på bretonska i tävlingen.
Tävlingen följdes upp av albumet Finisterres 1997, vilket även det sålde i 100 000 exemplar.

How to buy car insurance for the first time.
Are you in the market for your first auto insurance policy? Whether you are moving from your parent's policy or purchasing your first ever coverage, we understand how daunting it can be. Buying the right policy requires basic knowledge of how car insurance works and navigating the insurance world. We have simplified this challenge and created some tips for buying auto insurance for the first time in Texas.
If you're driving a car, then you're legally required to have car insurance – specifically, liability coverage. Texas has its own requirements. The current minimum liability limits are $30,000 for each injured person, up to a total of $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage per accident. This basic coverage is called 30/60/25 coverage. There are higher limits available and you should discuss them with your agent.
Keep in mind that liability covers costs for other people and property if you cause an accident. Texas only requires you to have liability insurance, but there are other types of coverage available to help protect your finances. Talk to your agent about whether you could benefit from collision, comprehensive, uninsured/underinsured drivers, rental reimbursement, and towing coverage.
Before you sign on a dotted line, make sure you understand what is (and isn't!) included in your car insurance policy. Your agent will be able to help answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding your coverage. You don't want to wait until you need coverage to realize you don't have it.
When you need help finding car insurance for the first time, the Lone Start locals at Reata Insurance Group can help. From San Antonio to Beaumont, Amarillo to Houston, we serve Texas motorists with the quality car insurance they need and deserve.


Once an addict, always an addict? This is a saying I've always grappled with. One part of me is against any type of labeling, let alone a heavy label to be carried for the rest of your life. We are all so interchangeably dynamic, that to categorize someone into a box forever doesn't sit well. It's like trying to describe a piece of music: sometimes it doesn't fit into a particular genre and maybe what's more important is the expression of how it sounds in a particular moment.
Another part of me completely agrees with this statement and perceives it to be utterly valid. Instead of denying who you are, true acceptance perhaps is the only way to not only recover, but to continue to maintain your recovery. However much I am against "branding" someone for life, it is human nature to create categorizes in order to piece things together and make sense of circumstances.
Three recent events have inspired me to write this article.
Robin Williams' recent suicide after battling addiction for over 30 years.
Coming home to find that my father had picked up smoking cigarettes again after "quitting" for 15 years.
Witnessing a co-worker undergo major drug withdrawals during a shift at work.
As a "former" addict, I've had to come to terms with my own fate. At age 14, I started smoking marijuana, age 15, drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes, age 17, I started attending raves and got introduced to an entire world of hard drugs, namely ecstasy, cocaine, methamphetamine, magic mushrooms, and pharmaceutical drugs (adderall, ritalin, morphine, methadone and oxycontin). Am I proud to of all this? No. Am I ashamed? Kind of. Am I okay with where I'm at now? Yes.
Although I've been "off" hard drugs and cigarettes since 2008, my addiction appears in other aspects of my life. I still drink alcohol in moderation and battle with how I feel about marijuana, especially now that it's legal in my state and is "all natural" (this is a whole separate article). I have no future plans to smoke weed again, unless I maybe end up in the forest somewhere with the right people.
After coming clean from drugs, I turned into a health nut and avid spiritual seeker. My addiction transferred into the realm of health and I became addicted to being overly fit, doing yoga, running, going on juice fasts, and I became very particular of what foods I put into my body. This is all good to a certain degree, but was taken a bit over-the-top (a typical pattern of an addict). I also became obsessed with new age studies, "positive thinking," and meditation. I dabbled in Buddhism and attended epic retreats. I joined a Hindu group for 8 months. I studied Taoist philosophies, was enraptured by the concept of "zen," and was fascinated with various forms of mysticism and becoming "one" with the trees and Universe. I also became an acupuncture junkie and workaholic.
Fast forward to 2013.. I somehow became a Christian. I'm hoping to not be a Jesus freak now, since this seems to be the new "high" that I'm on. Maybe this time, it's real. However, why do I still feel confused? Now that I've been "saved," shouldn't I feel "complete?" My church friends would say I'm not praying enough. However, in a recent sermon I heard, I was pretty much appalled at what was coming out of the pastor's mouth. He presented a whole plethora of statistics between Christians and non-Christians. I just can't come to terms with a narrow "us" versus "them" mentality. I think Jesus, or God, or whoever, crosses way bigger boundaries beyond what we can even comprehend. There are no boundaries, yet in relationships there has to be. Hence, the constant devil versus angel act. Will life always be a teeter-totter? You're either in or out? Making a good or bad choice? Falling into temptation or overcoming? An addict or not an addict? To say you're never going to drink, smoke, or make a not-so-good decision ever again is a lot of pressure to carry and can create a path towards relapse.
In many situations, I appreciate the Eastern philosophies of balance and the "middle way," but for some addicts, this is completely impossible. I think it is vital for addicts to surround ourselves with people that are supportive of our recovery and ongoing maintenance. If you don't change your car's oil and give it a tune-up on a regular basis, it will break down. The same is true for recovery.. it's a lifelong process. It is also wise to not place ourselves in situations where an opportunity to use is freely presented. Does that mean we have to lock ourselves away forever? No. But maybe instead of meeting friends at a bar, a tea shop would be more appropriate. When I finally decided to change my life, I deleted all the phone numbers of people I knew could give me access to drugs. I also recently decided that I don't want to go into a bar alone anymore. Do I want to be that lone girl sitting on a bar stool? Sounds like a great song lyric, but it's not the woman I aspire to be.
All I know is that I wake up every morning thankful to be alive. I have no idea what lies ahead, but have faith that I'll be able to endure whatever is thrown my way. Making decisions, even small daily ones, can be stressful. I've realized that it's not up to me and there is a way bigger thing happening beyond my control that can't be fathomed. Even if the "right" thing is staring at me in the face, and I do the "wrong" thing, make poor choices, and end up repeating bad habits or patterns, I trust that I'll be able to get out of it because I've accepted my fate. I'll always be an addict, I will never live up to any standards, I'll continue to make mistakes and will never be perfect. Once this weight is lifted, it becomes a lot easier to keep walking everyday.
The Way continues. I admire your bravery and honesty.
You are for SURE on of my favorite people.
I admire and respect your transparency. One of the things that I observe about most Christians, including myself, is that we do not talk about our "fallen-ness", our temptations, our addictions, our weaknesses, our faults, our fears, our shortcomings…(add your afflictions here). You have brought yours into the light. By admitting our weakness and confessing them to God, we are able to be strong in Him. Will we always make the right choices? Of course not. Will we fall? Absolutely. But as long as we continue to turn to Him, acknowledge our faults and failures and seek His guidance and help to turn away from the things that tempt us and cause us to fall away, He will make a way. Nothing we do can ever separate us from the love of Christ. We have God's gift of grace. We do not deserve it and there is nothing we can ever do to earn it. All we need to do is accept it. I apologize for what feels like a random run-on comment!

Oil changes are pretty easy. However, removing stubborn oil filters is not that easy. Often, oil filters get stuck onto the engine. When this occurs, it could be messy removing it. If you find it hard to remove oil filter, below are steps in removing it hassle-free.
The first step to remove stubborn oil filter is to locate it. Remove it by using a big locking wrench or else an oil filter removal wrench and turn it counter-clockwise. Use a rag to wipe the area clean of excess oil and dirt which also contributes to the difficulty in removing the filter. There are some tools you can use to remove oil filters. Some of the tools include a band wrench. Put a small strip of sandpaper between the filter and tool for traction. Position the wrench as near the base as possible so you do not crush the canister.
One method to remove stubborn oil filters is the screwdriver. Nevertheless, this could often leave the oil filter ruined and leaves the base still attached. This could also be quite messy. Refrain from using this method unless you are skilled enough to pull it off without destroying anything. Another method is the leather belt. Take a padded leather belt and loop onto the filter with the buckle end away from you, then pull on the loose end with a consistent and firm pressure.
The HEADstrong foundation for blood cancer is all about looking for a cure for all cancers that are related to the blood. The foundation is created and dedicated to Nicholas Colleluori, a blood cancer victim, its founder.
HEADstrong Foundation started in the year 2005, when Nicholas was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a kind of blood cancer affecting the lymphatic system. During this battle with the disease, undergoing intense radiation, chemotherapy, etc., he was determined to begin a foundation that supports blood cancer community. The name HEADstrong stems from his childhood nickname 'HEAD' and the word strong that define his physical and mental toughness.
Regardless of his failing health, Nick spent a lot of hours in front of his laptop learning about non-profit organizations and making word documents of what he has in mind. Days before he passed, his energy for others was communicated to his family and he made them promise that they would make his vision come true. On November 28, 2006, Nick finally lost his battle to lymphoma. Despite this, he was able to establish the framework for the foundation and he has since then impacted the lives of thousands of people who have blood cancers of different kinds.
Sometimes, a puppy could be bullheaded and difficult to train. The first thing you should find out is why your puppy appears that way. When it comes to training a bullheaded puppy, you should consider its breed, since some breeds work very closely with humans while others work independently, away from humans, such as terriers.
Try to get your puppy's attention; otherwise it will not learn much. Find out what things motivate your dog best. Some dogs are highly motivated by food and will respond to treat rewards. Others love to chase and play with squeaky toys. Get a special squeaky toy and use it only for training your puppy. Figure out what gets the pup's attention and use it to your advantage.
Set your puppy to succeed and not fail. Keep in mind to always say what you mean and mean what you say. Make use of hand signals and voice commands as well. Generally, dogs pay more attention to body language and tone instead of words. By combining your command word with a hand signal, your dog will have a better expectation of what is expected of it. Always be consistent and clear. Sometimes, a puppy is not really bullheaded but only too full of energy to concentrate.
Removing stubborn warts could definitely be frustrating. Fortunately, there are several ways that you can do to remove these stubborn warts. Vitamin C could actually kill off warts that have existed for years. Crush vitamin C into small bits and add a little water until it turns into a pasty substance and put in your warts. Cover with small bandages. Do this several times a day for a few weeks before the warts will start to fall off.
Garlic is another way to get rid of stubborn warts. Rub garlic cloves onto the surface of the wart several times a day. You can also opt to use over-the-counter medicated pad to assess the wart. Most warts could be removed by using these pads. Nevertheless, for really stubborn ones, they require more intense removal methods.
Consider using an at-home wart freezing system. While a wart has not responded to the pads, it will usually be destroyed by a single freezing treatment. It could take up to two weeks for the warts to fall off. In case your warts do not respond to home treatment methods, have your doctor apply cantharidin which will cause them to blister and could be removed along with the warts.
When you gain weight, naturally fat accumulates all over the body, not only in a certain area. When you lose weight, fat is burned off as well. Nevertheless, stubborn belly fat is always the last to go and could take extra effort to remove it. You can remove stubborn belly fat by doing exercises, healthy eating and cardiovascular workouts.
The first thing you should consider is to pay close attention to foods you eat. Those that are high in fat, particularly saturated fat could prevent your efforts to get rid of fat. Consider eating a lot of fruit and vegetables instead. Do exercises that are targeted for abdominal muscles. Some exercises include lying leg scissor kicks; lying leg lifts and reverses crunches. Engage the upper abdominal muscles by doing exercises such as sit-ups and standard crunches and bicycle crunches.
You can also do some cardiovascular activity, like bicycling, swimming, running, fast-paced walking or jumping rope. Some belly fat could be removed via strength training, but will burn off much faster if the heart rate is up. Whatever exercises you decide to do, keep in mind that you have to discipline yourself as well and refrain from eating fatty foods as much as possible.
Blackheads happen when the pores of the skin is plugged and dilated by a combination of dead skin cells, oil, bacteria and dirt. When the pores are exposed to oxygen, these darken and thus the name is derived. Exfoliation and daily washing will remove most blackheads but some may be stubborn and need more attention.
When removing stubborn blackheads, consider rubbing the face with a fine-grained exfoliating cream and loofah washcloth or sponge. Place warm compress on the area for fifteen minutes to soften and press down gently on either side of the blackhead using your fingertips. You can also use a pore strip to remove blackheads on your nose. After you wet your nose, place a strip with the sticky side down on the area and wet the strip and wait for ten minutes. Remove the strip as soon as it is hard.
Consider applying an acne mask and let dry and peel away. You can buy acne masks in most stores. You might also want to have a chemical peel to removed stubborn blackheads that stay after a home treatment. This method unclogs pores and removes blackheads. There are dermatologists who perform a chemical peel in their office or clinic.
There are all three kinds of personalities in children and no child has the same temperament as the other. Dealing with headstrong kids is not always easy and finding ways to deal with them could be a real challenge. Nonetheless, there are some things you can do to handle headstrong children.
You have to find out the age-appropriate behavior for your kid since discipline will not work if you have unrealistic expectations. Avoid instances that could cause frustration. Do not plan shopping trips if your child needs an afternoon nap or keep health snacks and drink between meals to avoid a blood sugar drop that could make them a child fussy. Anticipate when your child is likely to resist direction. For instance, if you know that your toddler will have a tantrum when you leave the park, ease the transition by preparing him or her for it ahead of time.
With a child that is headstrong, you will feel exhausted if you let yourself battle over little things. If your tot wants to wear his or her favorite pajama to the store, let it be. Redirect your kid before he or she begins to defy you and guide him or her to a different but acceptable activity. Always praise your child for good behavior. Positive reinforcement could motivate your child to behave well.
There are times when regardless of the usually ear cleaning, stubborn ear wax still builds in the ear and blocks the canal. If the ear wax is left unattended, the build-up could turn into temporary loss of hearing. Moreover, stubborn ear wax could also become very painful.
Mostly, you need not go to a doctor to resolve the problem since you can do self-care over a six-day period to remove it. You can use an eyedropper and put three to four drops of baby oil to the ear to loosen the wax. Do this twice a day for five consecutive days to soften the ear wax.
The next thing you have to do is to fill a rubber-bulb syringe with warm water after day five and squirt it into the earn canal. Do this by tilting your head to one side, straighten your back and pull the outer ear taunt. When this is done, tilt your head to the other side with the ear facing the floor so that the water will drain. Turn on a blow-dryer and set at low heat setting. Use the dryer to gently dry your ear. Keep in mind that maintaining ear cleanliness is a good way to avoid serious health problems later.
Removing stubborn wallpaper is not really an appealing thing to do, particularly if it is old and stuck to the wall. Nevertheless, there are some tips that make stripping off stubborn wallpaper easier.
First, you should have the right tools that could create tiny holes or score the wallpaper to make it easier to get moisture behind to soak it away from the wall. This has become a necessity with stubborn wallpapers. Plastic scrapers and knives usually work best for chipping wallpaper away. Next, mix some white vinegar and a bit of dishwashing soap in hot water to wash over the surface. You can also use a fabric softener in the hot water instead of soap and vinegar. Sponge on the liquid and use a rag or spray with a plastic spray bottle.
Do one area at a time and perforate thee paper with a circular tool, and then s oak the paper with a hot water solution. Wait for thirty minutes then peel off the paper. Wash off or scrape remaining glue with the use of a tri sodium phosphate mixed in the water. If you want, you and get some commercial help such as a DIF wallpaper stripper or you may rent a wallpaper streamer form the hardware or home center.

The mystery of Victor Penny's "death ray"
Michael Munro
Filed to: Secret HistoryFiled to: Secret History
Victor Penny
death ray
Growing up in Wellington, New Zealand, I heard vague rumors about a "death ray" invented just before WW2 by a mystery-man on Somes Island, in the middle of Wellington Harbour.
I recently did a bit more digging via Google and other sources and an intriguing story emerged. The mystery-man's name was Victor Penny and he was an autodidactic electronics specialist and amateur inventor with a particular interest in radio and sound transmission.
Penny's life became very interesting for about six months between 1935-36, beginning with an apparent late-night assault by "agents of a foreign power" that left him bleeding and muttering "my papers ... my papers!" Thereafter he was secretly transported, at the government's expense, to Somes Island, surrounded by armed guards and paid to conduct his experiments in secure isolation.
The subject of these experiments has been a matter of more-or-less wild speculation over the decades. Rumors suggest that he had developed a prototype beam weapon that could detonate explosives buried under the ground from some distance away, stop vehicles by disabling their motors and/or even destroy a flock of sheep.
E.M.P.? Ultrasound? Infrasound? Radar? Lasers? Was Victor Penny a con-man, a deluded crank or a cutting-edge inventor at the wrong time and in the wrong place? No-one knows, as his experiments were abruptly shut down by the incoming new government and most of the documents concerning them are still classified ...
Here's a half-hour New Zealand radio documentary on the Penny mystery, starting at 21.10 : http://www.radionz.co.nz/audio/player/2… .

Q: How to use if else in x-magento-template I want to use if, in x-magento-template, I try this code and it shows thí
Code :
<% if(fields.branche == ""){ %>

<% } %>

Bug :

A: try following way..

A: You can use mage/template to use these x-magento-template JS templates and render them .
define([
    "jquery",
    "mage/template"
], function($, mageTemplate) {
    var warningTemplate = mageTemplate('#some-template');
    $('body').append(warningTemplate); // for example added body as refenece area, that can update as per need
});

And the #some-template is:
not have much idea about conditional part fields.branche == "" so instead of added 1 means true in condition to make it work (or to test).

For live example see pdp
  data-role="cart-item-warning-message-template" on script
  (warningTemplate) and template calling js is

About: Considered the crown jewel in Longmont's trail system, the St. Vrain Greenway links numerous parks and runs five miles along St. Vrain Creek. It is part of the Front Range Trail – a regional that future plans have running from Wyoming to New Mexico. Existing trailheads can be found at Golden Ponds, Rogers Grove, Boulder County Fairgrounds, Izaak Walton Pond, the sundial area at South Pratt Parkway, at First Avenue near the Fire Training Center and the western end of the Harvest Junction North commercial development.
Access:Be sure to check the flow before attempting. The St. Vrain is sometimes diverted upstream of the greenway for agricultural use. Easy. A path parallels the river the entire way. Existing trailheads and river access can be found at Golden Ponds, Rogers Grove, Boulder County Fairgrounds, Izaak Walton Pond, the sundial area at South Pratt Parkway, at First Avenue near the Fire Training Center and the western end of the Harvest Junction North commercial development.
40cfs to 400cfs is a good flow for tubing the Saint Vrain River in Longmont, Co.
400-1000cfs is an okay flow for tubing, but the river is moving very fast at these levels. There aren't many rapids, but there could be low hanging tree branches that could be dangerous. Lifejackets are strongly recommended at these flows, and excellent swimming ability as well.
When is it running?: Usually floatable for the months May, June, and maybe July. Weather and snow pack are different every year, so there is no guarantee. You don't need much water to float the St. Vrain in longmont. Sometimes the river is almost completely diverted upstream of Longmont for agricultural purposes. Check the flow every time you go, so you don't show up and not have water.
Difficulty: 40 – 400 cfs: easy to moderate. 400+ – flat but fast. advanced tubers only.
Kids?: Yes. lifejackets and swimming ability are necessary.
Transportation: The Saint Vrain Greenway is about 25 minutes from our shop in Boulder. We do not provide transportation.
Closures: Please obey any and all closures of the river. They are placed for a reason.

Henrik has been into composing music for as long as he can remember. From throwing porcelain plates to the floor as a two year old, by way of using tape recorders for a primitive multi-channel recording as a ten year old, to the modern laptop studio of today.
Henrik started his career in music by participating in the demo scene (a community of computer enthusiasts making real time computer art). He has been releasing music for free on the internet since 1997, on net labels like Monotonik and 23 Seconds, as well as on his own website.
In 2007, Henrik's music took a turn toward a more pop oriented style, and he also took up singing. Among his releases before joining Jämmerdosa, 2010's "The Little Things" is notable.
When Henrik is not releasing music he is working professionally with sound related jobs. You can tell that he works with sounds - it shows in his masterful sense of detail and sonic texture, especially in his recent songs.
Henrik also likes to balance on long slacklines, make short films and bake pizzas.

Travel Advice and Planning
The Armchair Traveler
You are here: Home / All Destinations / Travel / Africa / Zanzibar: Slave Market
Africa, Tanzania, Travel
Zanzibar: Slave Market
High on my list of things to see in Zanzibar was the slave monument by Swedish sculptor Clara Sönäs. I have a peculiar fascination with the worst of human history and am drawn to places that commemorate atrocities committed in the name of religion or commerce.
Slavery was abolished in 1873 but it took until 1897 for the Sultan to declare all slavery illegal and only then could slaves petition a British court for their freedom. Except for concubines. It wouldbe another 12 years before they could seek their freedom as they were regarded as wives rather than slaves.
According to Michael Shepard, a merchant trading in Zanzibar in the mid-1800s, 'it [was] the custom to buy a tooth of ivory and a slave with it, to carry it to the seashore. Then the ivory and slave [were] carried to Zanzibar and sold.' I read somewhere that for every piece of ivory leaving Zanzibar, five slaves died.
Underneath what is now St Monica's guesthouse, men, women, and children brought to Zanzibar from mainland Africa were held for days in cellars awaiting their fate. The current exhibit offers harrowing first-hand accounts of the treatment they received.
Cypriani Asmani was six years old. When he tried to run away, he was chained to a log weighing 32 lbs. The only way he could move around was to carry it on his head. He was six. Just six. He carried that log with him for eight years before being freed by a missionary.
While each slave had a value, some were more valuable than others. Those stubborn enough to refuse to cry out when tied to a tree and whipped were the most expensive. Those were the strong ones, the ones with mettle.
Hamad bin Muhammad bin Juma bin Rajab el Murjebi aka Tippu Tip plundered Central Africa, before returning to Zanzibar with a fortune in ivory and slaves. At once stage he was said to have owned ten thousand, making him the biggest slave trader in the region. His house was under construction so we couldn't go see it. It's mind-boggling to think that back in the day, the man was probably revered as a progressive.
Charles Miller in his book The Lunatic Express (Macmillan 1971) writes of the African slave trade, telling of how men, women, and children were exchanged for beads, or corn, or cloth. Women carrying both babies and ivory had an even harder task because if their load became too heavy, the baby was killed, and the ivory saved. Conditions on the dhows to Zanzibar after the torturous walk to the coast were if possibly worse.
Crammed below decks on specially constructed bamboo shelves with about 1m of headroom. There was not enough room to sit, or to kneel or squat, just a crippling combination of the three. Sometimes slaves were closely packed in open boats, their bodies exposed day and night to the sea and the rain.
And in something that weirdly reminded me of modern-day advertising, once the slaves arrived in Zanzibar, they were cleaned, oiled, and dressed, the women adorned with jewellery and made up with henna and kohl. They were prettied up to hide the malnourishment, to fetch the best price.
Then, each afternoon, the slaves to be sold were lined up in order of height and paraded through the market. Prospective buyers would check their teeth and eyes, as farmers do today when buying livestock. The mind boggles at how cruel we can be.
Once sold, they boarded another ship bound for Oman or elsewhere. The lucky (?) ones went to work on the clove plantations in Zanzibar. And by some accounts, they had a marginally better life.
The slaves were relatively well treated when they arrived at their new homes. They were fed, housed and clothed, and given small plots of land, with time off to tend them. Young mothers were rarely separated from their children, and good slaves were often freed after a few years. Many took paid jobs, such as gardeners and farmers, for their previous masters: some even became leaders of slave caravans or masters of slave ships.
Today, on the site of the old slave market, looms the Anglican Cathedral of the Church of Christ whose altar sits on the site of the old whipping tree. There's a story going around that former slaves helped build it under the direction of Bishop Edward Steere. He, apparently, once had to leave on business and when he came back, he found 12 pillars erected upside down. I was ready to believe it until I saw the same in the Catholic Cathedral… one has to wonder.
The man himself is buried behind the altar. I wonder at the priests who say mass there and how they feel about standing on his grave.
There's a hat-tip, too, to David Livingstone, who stayed in Zanzibar before leaving on his final expedition. His heart is buried under a tree in Zambia and some wood from that tree was fashioned into a cross which now hangs in the cathedral.
Perhaps most upsetting of all was not the history of the atrocities and testimonies to man's capacity for cruelty, but the fact that slavery, although illegal, is still thriving today. Some 21 to 36 million people worldwide are said to live in slavery, be it bonded labour, forced labour, child slavery, early/forced marriage, or descent-based slavery.
Just a few years ago, in 2017, the Irish Times reported on the Rooneys, a family of Irish Travellers in the UK who
…targeted homeless people and men with learning disabilities to work and live in squalid conditions for up to 26 years. Their offences were described in court as "chilling in their mercilessness".
One man, who was exploited by the family for at least 12 years, was beaten by a "Rooney lynch mob" when a car he was driving ran out of petrol. By the time they were arrested, the family had spent £36,000 worth of this man's income support and disability living allowance.
It's sad to see how little we have learned.

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourself' started by Returning backslider, Apr 15, 2019.
Created an account here today. Brief background. I was raised in mainline church, was born again and came to an intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ when I was 19. I was "on fire" and walked very close to God for almost a year. As my name implies I backslid around my 20th birthday. Made a decision that went against conscience and fell back into sin. I backslid for years and lost assurance and grieved the Holy Spirit. Last November I was desperate and hopeless and starting going to a biblical church. I confessed my sins and am desperate to have a close walk with God again.
Don't want to write too much here as the guidelines noted but that's a little about me.
Glory to God that you are seeking to follow Christ. We are glad to have you with us.
I was actually prompted to join this forum because I viewed threads from years ago (2009-2011) about a backslider who was consumed by doubts and a lack of feeling of assurance. Is there a forum for Christians with OCD?
You may also find help and encouragement in other forum areas.
Thanks for mentioning the archives. I'm always conscious of the fact that what we say today may be "alive" to someone in 10 or 15 years through the search function. It may always be accessible. So it's can be important to others, even beyond how we treat the ones we talk to today.
Very encouraged to hear that you have found your way back.
What singing and dancing there will be in the heavens as your Father offers you his best robe, ring and sandals, celebrating that you have come home!
In time, you will re-experience that joy and much much more. You have returned to the Lord and have asked Him to help you. While you were still far off, He was waiting for you. He will forgive you, abundantly and lavishly.
Thanks brother. There are very difficult times still and I am learning that I must trust on His promises in His word. 1 John 1:9. He will restore the joy of salvation and the full ministry of the Spirit in His time according to his will.
Why didn't you stay out? Not a tough question really.
Do you mean why didn't I stay in sin and away from the Lord?
It's the Holy Spirit even if I don't realize right now. I was in a forum for Christians with anxiety and backsliders and one quote said there are times it seems you are foresaken and can't take it anymore and want to forget the whole thing but there is just something that makes you keep turning to God and that's the Holy spirit.
Welcome. And I hope the 'fire' will reignite.
God is never finished with us - He never turns His back on us. The Prodigal Son is a story told for our encouragement.
The son was brazen enough to ask for his father's estate before he was even dead. The father gave it. The son left, abandoning his father, and went and wasted his father's whole inheritance on sinful living. He fell so low he would have been happy to step up to pig slop for food. He finally saw his error and went home to ask only to be received as a slave. His father was still watching, hoping for his return, and RAN to him (a very undignified thing for a man to do in a culture where appearances mattered a very great deal) and immediately received him back as a son with full privileges (the robe and ring) and celebrated his return.
That's how God responds to us. No matter how low we fall, He's watching and waiting for any indication of our willingness to return to Him, and meets us on the way. He is willing to fully restore us and forgive everything.
Don't rely on whether you "feel" it. That can be psychological, or deception, or any number of things interfering. And God sometimes gives those sweet times of communion, but sometimes He doesn't. Everything He does is for our growth, whether it is trials and testing, or comfort. So don't get caught up in expectations of what you think the situation is based on what you're feeling. We walk by faith, remember. If we know Who God is and we trust that He is truthful with us, we know He will receive and forgive us when we repent and return. Sometimes there is chastisement, or whatever. So don't worry about what you feel. Trust God.
I think your eyes have already been opened to Jesus again. You fell but now you are back up. When I don't feel clean I imagine myself under a massive waterfall which is the Fountain of Life and ask him to wash me. Keep Jesus at the centre of your life and don't beat yourself up about your past. Don't try too hard but learn to rest in Him and abide in the Vine. He will do the work in you, you just need to be surrendered for him to do it.
If Jesus can only absolve the sins you commit, then you will certainly die a sinner.

London has retained its title as the world's top destination for investment in commercial real estate, according to Knight Frank's London Report. London remains by far the biggest global destination for investment in real estate, despite ongoing uncertainty around Brexit, with €18.4bn (£16.2bn) invested in the UK capital's commercial offices in 2018. This compares to €16.3bn (£14.3bn) invested in Manhattan, €13.7bn (£12.1bn) in Paris and €9.6bn (£8.4bn) in Hong Kong. While total investment volumes for Central London were down slightly on 2017 (€19.1bn/£16.8bn) the average deal size rose to an all-time high of €92.7m (£81.5m) in 2018.
Greater China remains the largest source of investment in Central London real estate, despite new capital restrictions imposed this year, accounting for €3.96bn (£3.48bn) in 2018 and 21% of all investment in Central London offices last year. Although Greater China remains London's biggest source of capital, the total volume of investment from the region was down 51% on 2017, when Central London saw a record €8.10bn (£7.12bn) invested into commercial offices from Chinese investors.
2018 saw South Korea significantly increase its investment in Central London, with €2.91bn (£2.56bn) invested in the capital, an eight-fold increase on the €341.3m (£300m) invested in 2017. Capital from the Far East as a whole accounted for 47% (€8.73bn/£7.67bn) of all investment in Central London offices in 2018.
According to Knight Frank's Global Capital Tracker there is €45.5bn (£40bn) of capital looking to invest in commercial real estate, with Greater China the biggest potential investor in London, with €11.4bn (£10bn), or 25% of the total, looking to invest in 2019.

The West Bank of Luxor: Exploring the City of the Dead
by Mahmoud Gebril | Mar 21, 2019 | Egypt
All along the West Bank of Luxor like pearls along a string are pharaonic mortuary temples and ornate tombs, each one more beautiful than the last. Let's explore Egypt from the Valley of the Kings to the Tombs of the Nobles and many other spots, the West Bank is one of the most spectacular areas in Egypt.
There's nothing quite like taking private guided tours of Egypt and feasting your eyes on these iconic monuments for the first time. The mighty river glimmers in the sun, the dusty tombs stand tall and immobile and when you duck inside to their cool hidden chambers you will see ancient paintings and hieroglyphics – their colors still bright and vibrant on the walls.
In this region every year the ancient Egyptians celebrated the Beautiful Feast of the Valley, where the royal power was celebrated and strengthened. The temples were meant to honor the dead kings for all eternity – keeping the cult of the king alive and guaranteeing his ongoing worship.
The best way to see these tombs is in the cool of the morning, as the afternoon will bring sweltering heat – especially in the summer.
The Important Tombs and Temples of the West Bank of Luxor
The temples in the Valley were known by the ancient Egyptians as the "Temples of Millions of Years." Although they were thought by the early Egyptologists to be funerary or mortuary temples, they were in fact temples built for the worship of the deceased kings. Originally there were many more temples in this region and those that remain are mostly in ruin.
Visiting the tombs and temples of the West Bank of Luxor in all private Egypt tours is an absolute must on your Egypt tours packages. Read on for more info on the fascinating ancient sites you can explore while you are there.
King Tut's Tomb
King Tut is one of the most well-known pharaohs in modern times. He was the 12th king of the 18th Egyptian dynasty and he died at age 19. The discovery of his tomb has revealed a lot of interesting information about his life and the times that he lived in.
When English archaeologist Howard Carter opened his tomb in 1923, it sparked a wave of "Egyptomania" – an obsession with Egyptian art and culture that influenced the worlds of fashion, architecture, art and much more.
Carter had been searching for five years with success, with the backing of a rich sponsor named Lord Carnarvon. In 1922 Carnarvon wanted to call off the search for the little known Tutankhamen, but Carter convinced him to hold on for one more year. His persistence paid off and later that year Carter was opening up the ancient sealed doorway to find the treasures that had laid untouched for more than 3,000 years.

The priceless treasures were carefully removed, catalogued and included in a famous traveling museum exhibition called the "Treasures of Tutankhamun." The exhibition now has a permanent home in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. In Cairo there are also amazing historical sites, mosques & churches, luxury hotels, and amazing restaurants besides the Pyramids and museum as well.
King Ramesses VI Tomb
This tomb was originally constructed by Pharaoh Ramesses V (who was buried here) but his uncle Ramesses VI later used the tomb for himself. The design of this tomb is more simplistic than that of Ramesses III, which is typical of the 20th dynasty.
As you walk through the entrance – note the disk that contains a scarab and an image of the ram-headed Ra. Along both sides of the first corridor you will find images of Ramesses VI before Ra-Harakthi and Osiris. Originally these depicted Ramesses V but were usurped by his uncle.
This is one of the most impressive tombs in the Valley of the Kings and it was featured on the 2005 BBC documentary
King Seti I Tomb
Although his son Ramses II is more famous, King Seti was considered a great king during his time. He is known for his cultivation of the arts and his military achievements.
The tomb of King Seti I was revealed by the researcher Giovanni Battista Belzoni in 1817. When Belzoni entered the tomb he had no idea what he had found – as the mummy was nowhere to be seen. It turns out that many of the tomb's treasure were already plundered.
However, there was a mummified bull inside the tomb, so he assumed that it must have been created to honor Apis, a holy bull. The walls of the tomb are covered with incredibly detailed paintings that depict life in the Egyptian era in vivid detail – it is one of the best decorated tombs in the entire valley.
This tomb is often closed to the general public, so if you want to visit it you will need to arrange in advance with your private tour guide in order to obtain a special permit.
The Valley of the Queens
Lying southeast of the temples of Medinet Habu you will find the Valley of the Queens. Resting within a Y-shaped ravine in the Western Cliffs, the valley was a necropolis for the tombs of the royal family members. It is located directly opposite the ancient capital city of Thebes (the modern city of Luxor).
Approximately 90 numbered tombs belonging to princes, queens and high officials of the New Kingdom can be found there. Although the name "Valley of the Queens" suggests that only queens were buried here, that is not the case. The area was also used for the burials of princesses, princes and other nobility.
The Amazing Valley of the queens in the West Bank of Luxor
This spot was likely chosen because whenever the area experienced a large storm, the rock cleft at the western end of the site would release a dramatic outpouring over water. This may have lead the ancient Egyptians to associate the magical atmosphere of this location with the great mother goddess Hathor. In ancient times, it was called "Ta-Set-Neferu" which means "the place of beauty."
Although many important queens and members of the nobility have been buried here, unfortunately many of the tombs have fallen victim to robbery in antiquity. So many thieves have crept into these tombs over the years that very few artifacts have been found in situ here.
The Tomb of Queen Nefertari
One of the most spectacular tombs in the area is the burial site of Queen Nefertari. In fact, it is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful tombs in Egypt and all Egypt tailor made tours must include a tour there. Nefertari was one of the five wives of Ramesses II and she was his favourite – he had her tomb painted with scenes depicting her with the gods.
For example, one of the murals shows Nefertari worshipping the mummified body of Osiris and in another scene she is offering milk to the goddess Hathor.
Nefertari's tomb in the Valley of the Queens
The Tombs of the Nobles
Luxor's West Bank is also home to the Tombs of the Nobles, which are not as busy and touristic as the other tombs in the region yet are just as spectacular. In fact, the Tombs of the Nobles have been less picked over by thieves than the empty tombs in the Valley of the Kings, so sometimes there is more to see in your customized Egypt tours.
It's worth taking the time to explore these beautiful tombs, including the final resting places of Khaemhet, Userhet and Ramose.
Deir Al-Medina
Deir Al-Medina is the workmen's village – an area of houses and tombs for the workmen who made the royal tombs. It is quite fascinating to visit these tombs and see the difference between mortuary temples created for kings and queens and those constructed for more "ordinary people." However, some of these tombs are incredibly splendid and well preserved.
This stunning landmark was the mortuary temple of the famous pharaoh, Queen Hatshepsut and all Egypt luxury tours includes a visit to it. Hatshepsut became the queen of Egypt when she married Thutmose II, her half-brother, when she was 12. When he died, she started to act as regent for her stepson Thutmose III – who was only a baby at the time. Hatshepsut is one of famous women who changed history of ancient Egypt.
Queen Hatshepsut
She later took on all of the powers of a pharaoh and became the co-ruler of Egypt around 1473 BC. Hatshepsut was the third woman to become a pharaoh in 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. She was the first to attain the full power of the position. (Cleopatra didn't exist until 14 centuries later).
She oversaw a lot of ambitious construction projects during her rule as Pharoah as well as extending Egyptian trade. She authorized a trading expedition to a land known as Punt (likely modern-day Ethiopia) to bring back riches such as gold, ebony, ivory, incense and leopard skins.
Very few images exist of her today and this temple (supposedly designed by one of her lovers) was only used for the weeks it took to mummify and embalm her.
It was her own order for her to be depicted as a male in many images and she remained quite a mysterious figure to Egyptology scholars until the 19th century. She wanted to be depicted as a male in order to portray herself as powerful and strong. However, Thutmose III outlived her and went on to rule for 30 more years. He had a lot of images of her erased from temples and monuments, perhaps to eliminate the evidence that there had been a powerful female ruler.
Guide to Luxor, Egypt
It is one of the most dramatically situated temples in the world – built from limestone and set within a towering cliff. Be sure to check out the reliefs in the large central courtyard which show the birth of the queen, as well as the story of the expedition by way of the Red Sea to Punt to collect myrrh trees to make incense.
Hatshepsut had her father's sarcophagus reburied in her tomb so that they could lie together in death.
Habu Temple
A memorial temple for Ramses III, this is one of the most beautiful temples you will see on any of your Egypt trips. The hieroglyphs were carved very deep into the walls to keep them from being destroyed later, which means that they are still vibrant and clear.
Ramses II was one of the most famous and important pharaohs in ancient Egypt. However, unlike the temples at Abu Simbel and Karnak this one is mostly in ruins and is covered with 19th century graffiti (which is pretty interesting!).
This is the location that inspired the famous poem "Ozymandias" by Shelley (Ozymandias was the classical name for Ramses.) Find the huge head from the fallen colossus Ramses statue and walk around the towering pillars.
Tips for Visiting the West Bank of Luxor:
The ideal way to visit the West Bank of Luxor is via guided Egypt travel packages. When you visit with an experienced guide who is an expert on Egypt history, it will make the trip so much more meaningful and
It is best to visit as early as possible, so that you can walk in between the temples in the cool of the morning before the sun gets high in the sky and the temperature soars.
You can purchase your tickets for this area at the Antiquities Inspectorate Ticket Office – which is located on the road to the Valley of the Kings near the Colossi of Memnon.
Allow for at least a half day to explore the West Bank, as there are many temples to visit. If you are particularly interested in Egyptian history, you might want to spend even more time.
Once you get to the tombs area, it is possible to hike the hills in between each temple and tomb. However, avoid doing this in the middle of the day and bring plenty of water!
It is a good idea to bring a flashlight with you on your tours so that you can see the detailed carvings and reliefs on the inside of the tombs.
Keep in mind that only a limited number of tombs are open to visitors at any time. Check in advance or ask your expert guide.
Visiting the West Bank of Luxor during your Egypt vacation will be one of the most spectacular experiences of your travels.

Село расположено в южной части Ивантеевского района, в 34 км по прямой на юго-восток от районного центра — села Ивантеевка. По автомобильным дорогам расстояние до районного центра составляет 64 км, до областного центра города Саратов — 340 км, до Самары — 200 км.

В полутора километрах  южнее села находится железнодорожная станция Клевенка.

Единственная сельская улица Советская расположена вдоль реки Большой Иргиз.

История

XXVIII век
Село основано в промежутке между 1715 и 1720 гг. под названием "Кирпичи". Оно стало первым населённым пунктом в Ивантеевском Прииргизье. По преданию его основали беглые крестьяне из Тульской губернии. Кирпичами в то время называли глыбы гранита, которые водным путем по рекам Камелик, Таловая, Чаган и Яик доставлялись с Урала  для  изготовления из них мельничных жерновов ("клевцов"). Село стало сортировочным пунктом гранита, отсюда он поставлялся в другие населённые пункты и монастыри Прииргизья.

Со временем название "Кирпичи" сменилось на "Клевецкое", а нынешнее название установилось в конце ХIX века.

XIX век
В 1830 г. в село пришли первые речные баржи купцов, закупавших зерно у местных крестьян и вывозивших его на хлебные ярмарки Вольска, Балакова, Хвалынска.

Казённое село Клевенка (оно же Кирпичи) упоминается в Списке населённых мест Российской империи по сведениям за 1859 год. Село относилось к Николаевскому уезду Самарской губернии. В селе проживали 775 мужчин и 810 женщин.

В 1889 г. в селе была построена деревянная церковь с колокольней. Единственный её престол был освящён во имя Казанской Божьей Матери. Церковь располагала земельным наделом в 66 десятин. Причт состоял из священника, диакона и псаломщика. Церковная летопись велась с 1867 г. В тридцатые годы прошлого столетия церковь была уничтожена в результате проводимой Советской властью политики борьбы с религиозными организациями и репрессиями против верующих.

Согласно Списку населённых мест Самарской губернии по сведениям за 1889 год Клевенка являлась волостным селом Клевенской волости Николаевского уезда Самарской губернии. В селе проживало 2073 жителя. Земельный надел составлял 9783 десятины удобной и 1617 десятин неудобной земли, имелось волостное правление, церковь, школа, 4 ветряные мельницы, проводились 3 ярмарки.

По данным переписи 1897 года в Клевенке проживало 2492 человека, в том числе православных — 2489.

XX век
Согласно Списку населённых мест Самарской губернии 1910 года село населяли бывшие государственные крестьяне, русские, православные, 1353 мужчины и 1385 женщины, в селе имелись волостное правление, церковь, земская и церковно-приходская школы, 7 ветряных мельниц, кирпичный завод, кредитное товарищество, урядник.

К 1910 г. в селе произошла модернизация водяных мельниц, построенных на Большом Иргизе, их число выросло до четырёх. На них производили высококачественную муку и различные крупы. Село превратилось в торговую и пассажирскую пристань. Крестьяне из близлежащих населённых пунктов продавали здесь зерно скупщикам, которые баржами доставляли его в Николаевск и Балаково.

В 1928 г. решением ВЦИК был создан Нижне-Волжский край с центром в г. Саратове. В соответствии с новым административно-территориальным делением Клевенка вошла в Ивантеевский район Пугачёвского округа этого края.

В 1928 г. в селе проживало 3900 человек. По решению районного совета крестьянских депутатов все водяные мельницы в селе были национализированы и переданы в аренду артели инвалидов, недовольные владельцы были арестованы. В течение последующих десяти лет мельницы по вине арендаторов пришли в негодность.

К 1930 г. в селе был создан колхоз "Искра революции".

В 1931 г. была создана Клевенская МТС. В 1935 у нее было 15 комбайнов, директором МТС был Григорьев.

В 1935 г. после отмены в стране карточной системы распределения хлеба в селе начала работать пекарня.

В 1937 г. в селе действовали школа-семилетка, почтовое отделение, сберкасса, больница, изба-читальня, клуб, два магазина, МТС.

В тридцатые годы по обвинению в антисоветской агитации были несправедливо осуждены жители села:

 Анненков Иван Максимович (1901 г.р., комбайнёр МТС, 10 лет лагерей);
 Вдовин Федор Прокофьевич (1881 г.р., сторож сенного пункта, 10 лет лагерей);
 Вдовин Тимофей Дмитриевич (1894 г.р., охранник МТС, 8 лет лагерей);
 Кудрявцев Василий Гаврилович (1902 г.р., колхозник, 10 лет лагерей);
 Кудрявцев Федор Никитович (1898 г.р., секретарь сельсовета, 10 лет лагерей);
 Лавров-Горский Владимир Федорович (1888 г.р., медицинский фельдшер, 4 года лагерей);
 Покаместов Федор Семенович (1886 г.р., плотник, 3 года лагерей).

Они были реабилитированы Постановлением Президиума Саратовского областного суда и Саратовской областной прокуратурой.

В 1940 г. в "Книге достижений народного хозяйства СССР по Саратовской области" за высокие показатели в труде были отмечены:

 Пивоваров Николая Тарасович, тракторист Клевенской МТС;
 Подгорнов Семен Савельевич, комбайнер Клевенской МТС;
 Селиверстов Николая Федорович, комбайнер Клевенской МТС;
 Солодилов, Веньямин Гаврилович, слесарь Клевенской МТС.

В 1961 г. в связи с ликвидацией Ивантеевского района село вошло в состав Перелюбского района. Когда в 1967 г. Ивантеевский район был восстановлен, Клевенка вновь вошла в его состав. В этот же период создается новый совхоз "Победа" (центральная усадьба — село Канаёвка) и Клевенка становится отделением совхоза.

Q: Why do two magnets faceing eachother with opposite poles but offset horizontally repel? When you place two magnets with opposite poles facing eachother vertically they attract. However if you move one magnet horizontally by a distance greater than the magnets diameter they will begin to repel in the vertical direction but still maintain attraction in the horizontal direction. Why is this?
(Note: first, the nessesary horizontal displacement for vertical repulsion is a rough estimate. I am using my hands to measure force so I can really only measure up to 7cm. Second, the direction I chose to place the magnets is arbitrary.)
Edit:
(Sorry, I can't include a picture because the file is too large. I will try to describe situation in more detail below:
Case 1: imagine two magnets aligned vertically with opposite poles facing eachother separated by some distance. In this case the two magnets will attract
Case 2: now imagin the same set up as case one but move one of the magnets to the side by a distance of atleast the magnets diameter. In this case the magnets repel in the vertical direction.

A: Something to remember is the magnets are not really trying to attract or repel, they are trying to get their fields to align.  The photo

shows this field. If the magnets are stacked vertically north to south, the field arrows line up perfectly (the ones exiting the top of the lower magnet enter the bottom of the upper magnet, go through it on its axis, and exit out the top), and it wants to stay that way. If you start sliding the magnets around, the sets of field lines change direction as shown. What the magnets will seek is a state where the arrows from both fields point in the same direction at any given point, and this may cause the bar magnets to spin or resist in unpredictable ways.  It is not as simple as "attract" or "repel."

Judge finds copyright misuse defense unconvincing in RIAA lawsuit
A federal judge has rejected a file-sharing defendant's argument that the …
Eric Bangeman - Dec 4, 2007 4:05 am UTC
with 0 posters participating
As the RIAA's legal campaign against file-sharers has unfolded, one of the arguments made by a number of the defendants is that record companies are guilty of copyright misuses and are therefore disqualified from enforcing them. A federal judge in New York has thrown cold water on that argument, upholding the RIAA's motion to strike P2P defendant Marie Lindor's copyright misuse defense in UMG v. Lindor.
Lindor was sued in 2005 and retained copyright attorney Ray Beckerman (whose Recording Industry vs The People blog has tracked the progress of many of the RIAA's lawsuits) as her counsel. One of her defenses was that the record labels misused their their copyrights by acting in concert with the nearly 30,000 lawsuits filed so far.
"The plaintiffs, who are competitors, are a cartel acting collusively in violation of the antitrust laws and of public policy, by tying their copyrights to each other, collusively litigating and settling all cases together, and by entering into an unlawful agreement among themselves to prosecute and to dispose of all cases in accordance with a uniform agreement, and through common lawyers, thus overreaching the bounds and scope of whatever copyrights they might have," argued Lindor.
The RIAA argued that it was free to lawfully litigate the cases as it sees fit and that copyright misuse was not a recognized affirmative defense against allegations of copyright infringement. Copyright misuse was applicable only in cases where restraint of trade is involved, argued the labels.
Judge David G. Trager agreed with the RIAA's position. "In general, copyright owners commit copyright misuse when they attempt to extend the scope of their copyrights and use them anticompetitively in violation of antitrust laws," wrote the judge in his opinion. "Collectively bringing infringement suits, however, exhibits none of the hallmarks of anticompetitive copyright pooling, and cannot be classified as such."
Judge Trager found that Lindor had failed to show "any viable anticompetitive aspects" of the RIAA's members colluding in their legal campaign. As a result, Lindor will not be able to argue copyright misuse in her lawsuit, and it's less likely that the defense will stand up to scrutiny in other cases.
UMG v. Lindor was originally expected to go to trial this year, but that's not going to happen now. Although the copyright misuse defense has apparently gone out the window, Lindor has raised a number of other arguments in her defense which should still get a hearing. Those include the constitutionality of the statutory damages sought by the RIAA, the amount of money the labels make on each download, and the RIAA's actual expenses per download.

Advice & Tips: when I first started, i was hurting real bad.. Then after awhile of taking the med they increased the dosage and it seems like its holding for now. Ever now and then, i have pain, especially when it starts to get cold outside or under an air conditioner... I can't stand to get cold. I have been able to do alittle bit more on some days but on others i just can't do nothing.
Advice & Tips: I was on this treatment before and weened off of it thinking I was OK to quit. My pain was unbareable and I had gotten so much relief from the Cymbalta that I forgot how much pain I was in without it. I was taking 12+ Extra strength Tylenol a day to try and manage the pain. Now I am taking Cymbalta again and my children don't hear me say "I hurt" anymore. I'm mostly uncomfortable and the pain is barely there.
