Anan Thathamma was born in Prachinburi, in the east of Thailand, in 1969. He spent 12 years of his childhood living and studying in a temple, where he studied Buddhism & Sanskrit on top of his other school subjects. During this time, he gained an appreciation for art, particularly religious art. Moving to Bangkok at the age of 18, he worked in various roles to provide himself with an art education, studying at Alliance Francaise under the tutelage of a French/American artist. Anan studied drawing, watercolours and oil painting, finally settling on oil and acrylic as his preferred medium. Over the past 4 years, Anan has held several solo and joint exhibitions at various locations throughout Bangkok, and his work has been acquired by collectors from Asia, Europe, and North America.
"Painting helps me to express myself and the way I see the world", explains Anan. "I hope my art can inspire people to learn more about themselves, and to discover their true needs and desires. Art can open your mind and imagination, and help you to choose the right path."


No matter what the age, boys seem to become easily fascinated by cars and other moving vehicles. And once they get a car of their own, they can broaden their horizons by learning how to work under the hood, and adopt this useful and almost necessary life skill.
But now though, you don't have to wait until your little boy hits sixteen before getting him his own little automobile. Instead, try this week's kid's toy of the week to get him under the hood and working like a true little mechanic.
One of the most important skills your young son can learn in life is that of fixing and tinkering around with items to understand how they truly work. Using this interactive method allows your child to conceptualize certain processes, and is an intuitive and educational way to grasp simple and even complex matters.
And if you want to combine your son's love of tinkering around with things with his passion for motors and automobiles, then get him the Auto Mechanic Super Set to get him started under his very own first hood. This incredibly fun and useful car toy comes consists of the front end of a small vehicle that opens up completely, revealing a multitude of little valves and contraptions that exist in the interior of a regular sized car. He can work on the engine, check out how the spark plugs work, tighten the wing nuts, and even make sure the radiator is working perfectly before finally closing the hood for good. All of these tiny additions under the hood of his kids toy can be used to help develop his fine motor skills, and will keep him fascinated for hours on end.
This week's car toy of the week will bring out the real mechanic in your little boy.
So many of us today own cars and other motor vehicles, yet don't have a fine understanding of what exactly goes on beneath the hood to power the machine. And while we can always someone else to do the work for us, wouldn't it be nice if we knew what we were doing beneath the hood of our car?
Instead of letting your son grow up without this wonderful life skill, get him started early with a love for automobiles by getting him the Auto Mechanic Super Set. He can use all of the fascinating features on this tiny car toy, like the steering wheel, battery-operated headlights, and even the warning horn for alerts. With this though, he can also dive below the surface of the hood of this kids toy to understand how everything works – and of course, while he may not be a mechanic just yet, this basic desire to explore this new machine will fuel his innovative sense throughout his entire life.
Get ready for some innovative and exploratory fun with this week's toy of the week. This fun and exciting kids toy will let your son explore the world of mechanics with a car toy of his own.

Kwanzaa History, Trivia and Fun Facts
Traditional Kwanzaa Information
Kwanzaa is a week-long secular holiday that celebrates African American heritage. Each year it is celebrated from Decemeber 26th, to January 1st. Kwanzaa was founded by a black nationalist by the name of Ron Karenga in 1966. The name is derived from the Swahili phrase, "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits."
The additional "a" was added to represent the seven children in the United Slaves Organization at the time. Karenga also wanted the seven letters to represent the "Seven Principles of Blackness." Each one of the principles represent one day of the celebration, which are as follows: umoja (unity), kujichagulia (self-determination), ujima (collective work and responsibility), ujmaa (cooperative economics), nia (purpose), kuumba (creativity), imani (faith).
Kwanzaa was established as a means to help African Americans reconnect with their African culture and heritage. It was originally created by Karenga to spread offensive views about the Christian Faith.
During Kwanzaa, people decorate their houses with colorful art and African cloth. Fresh fruits are put out on tables as centerpieces to represent African idealism. The colors of Kwanzaa are black, which represents the people, red, which represents struggle, and green which represents the future. During the celebration, observers must choose a central place in their homes for the symbols of Kwanzaa.
The celebration includes drumming and musical selections, libations, which are a reading of the "African Pledge" and the Principles of Blackness, a reflection of Pan-African colors, a candle lighting ritual, artistic performances, and a feast. Zawadi (gifts) such as books and heritage symbols are given to the children.
Each day, observers greet each other with, "Habri Gani" which means "What's the news?"
The last day of Kwanzaa is the first day of the New Year; it is a day of self-reflection and reflection on life and future of people, and the recommitment of one's highest cultural values.
Kwanzaa celebrates family, community and culture. The holiday is built on the five fundamental activities of the continental African "first fruit" celebration which are: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. Although it may seem like it, Kwanzaa is NOT a religious holiday; it is a celebration of heritage and culture.

Who will win Survivor: Island of the Idols? Finale time is at hand
Wed Dec 18, 2019 at 1:56pm ET Fri Jul 03, 2020 at 1:56 pm EDT
By Ryan DeVault
The final Survivor Tribal Council before finale night certainly had a lot of drama. Pic credit: CBS
It's almost time to learn who won Survivor Season 39. Five people are still in the running and viewers seem to have their own opinions on who will win Survivor: Island of the Idols.
During the last episode of the show, Elaine Stott was voted out at Tribal Council. As the episode came to a close, though, host Jeff Probst and producers for the show let the audience know that Dan Spilo had been removed.
Later, more specifics were given as to why Dan was kicked off the show, but the end result was that it left just five people competing to win the $1 million cash prize.
Now, those final five castaways will take center stage during the season finale of the show on December 18.
Survivor finale time
The final five castaways are Lauren Beck, Janet Carbin, Dean Kowalski, Noura Salman, and Tommy Sheehan. It's a really interesting group of people, some of which have really surprised CBS viewers this season.
Survivor 41 details and information from CBS
Who will win Survivor 39? Meet all the castaways
Shocking tribals on Survivor premiere!
Below are some fan posts ahead of the big episode.
Survivor finale tonight. Can't wait for Queen Lauren to take her rightful throne. It's been too long since a black female winner. #Survivor #Survivor39

In less than 24 hours we will know who the winner of season 39 is. I've been ready for this to be over and done with for a LONG time… #Survivor #RHAP #Survivor39 pic.twitter.com/Iz6uFG8jZ3
— Dana (@lanadingel) December 18, 2019
For my Survivor pool purposes I want Tommy or Noura. But personally I really want Janet.
— CK (@live4LV) December 18, 2019
The season finale will begin at 8/7c on December 18 and it will pick up following the final five contestants learning that Dan was removed from the game. The reality will set in that they are each one step closer to being named the sole survivor this season.
The final five will work their way down to the final contestants, who will then have to make their case to the Island of the Idols jury about why they should become the Season 39 winner. This is where it could become very interesting and exciting, depending on who is left at the end.
While this has been a bumpy season for the network and the Island of the Idols cast, hopefully, finale night can be a good one for everyone involved. The night will conclude with a Reunion Show, where host Jeff Probst will discuss the season with the cast and start hinting at what's to come.
Who will win Survivor: Island of the Idols? Make sure to tune in on Wednesday night to see how this all plays out.
Survivor airs Wednesday nights at 8/7c on CBS.

Please note, the above figures should be interpreted with caution. Comparing numbers of incidents/crimes can be misleading and does not necessarily indicate the likelihood of someone being a victim of crime. In addition, the number of incidents/crimes recorded in an area over a period of time can be influenced by a number of factors. Consequently statistics on incidents/crimes for one period may not necessarily be a good indicator of future incidents in that area.

How do I choose the right Scuba Instructor?
Scuba instruction tends to thrive in economies such as the one we are experiencing today. When jobs are difficult to come by, people rely on skills that allow them to trade their knowledge for extra income.
This means that the consumer has many options.
All of these can have very solid marketing, great websites and provide quality training. This can lead to a lot of confusion about how to choose the right place to learn to dive.
First, consider the time that you are willing to put into your training. College courses are very thorough, but can take up to sixteen weeks, a busy dive center may only allow three days for a certification program, and an independent instructor has the ability to be flexible enough to teach longer, but may cost a bit more than the other options.
Second, think about your reason for learning to dive. If you are an active swimmer, with a strong comfort level in the water, a shorter, less personalized course may be all that you need. If your comfort level is low in aquatic activities, you will benefit from a longer course, either much more in depth, such as a college course, or something more tailored to your personal needs, such as private instruction.
Finally, you should take a really honest look at what you are trying to accomplish by becoming a diver. Many people learn to dive as just an experience. They take a course, earn a certification and then go on vacation to dive for one or two days, and hang up their fins. Other divers approach diving as a lifestyle, conduct hundreds of dives over a relatively short time. There is nothing wrong with either approach, but if you are planning on really being a diver, it is a good idea to take the time to find a true mentor who will take the time to teach the nuances of diving such as dive site assessment.
There are many great instructors out there. It is a good idea to spend a bit of time seeking out the instructor who has a personality and teaching style that meets your needs. The only way to do this is through research and doing the leg work to actually meet and discuss your diving plans with instructors until you find one that clicks.

Previous Prev Words to Live By
MAIN MENU POZ June 2001
Next Quotes: 20/20 Hindsight
June 1, 2001 • By Esther Kaplan
An exhibit looks back on the epidemic through its ephemera. Esther Kaplan speaks with two keepers of the flame, who hope their "living" archive lights some new fires.
In a stack on a desk in this borrowed office are faded copies of the long-defunct New York Native, the issue on top announcing "Cancer in the Gay Community." Tacked to the wall is a small, plain pamphlet, How to Have Sex in an Epidemic, a prevention strategy designed by and for gay men in 1993, several months before HIV was even identified. Nearby, a wrinkled plastic hospital bag that held one PWA's belongings in 1984, and a pile of video interviews with others now dead. This is where photographer Jane Rosett and her girlfriend, videographer Jean Carlomusto, are creating AIDS: A Living Archive, a multimedia timeline that will premiere at the Museum of the City of New York on April 21 (through September 10) in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of GMHC -- and the 20th year of AIDS. POZ spoke with the documentarians-cum-AIDS activists (Rosett cofounded the PWA Coalition, Carlomusto was an early ACT UPer) on the eve of the opening.
POZ: Is it painful to be left behind to bear witness?
Jean Carlomusto: As I went down into the archives to make selections, the same old ghosts came back, and all this blame: "Oh, why wasn't I around when you were really sick and dying?" But eventually I broke past that, just letting people's teachings come through, making sure they are still heard, even though they're not physically present. That was liberating. It's no longer a burden, but an honor. We're cobbling together a history out of the absences.
Jane Rosett: When people say, "Oh, isn't it so depressing," it's a projection of their own fear of death. I mean, we used to edit the PWAC Newsline in the ICU. Once we were audited, and Albert Graham, our comptroller, was in the hospital with dementia, so I brought the IRS guy into Beth-Israel, and Albert reached out and yelled, "Mommy!" The guy was like, This is your comptroller? [Laughter.] Somehow the professionalization of AIDS, which is seen as a measure of progress, has also served to erase the camp, humor and radical origins of the AIDS movement, and deluded people into thinking the crisis is over.
JC: We're trying to recall both the climate that made it possible for this strange disease to grow out of control and the origins of the organized resistance.
POZ: Did you anticipate this role?
JC: No! Back then we really did believe that we were going to stop the epidemic. It was devastating to look around and realize that all of these people were dead.
JR: It was just paralyzing. Never for one minute did I think, "I'm going to be here and no one else is." Never. But denial and survival are inextricably linked. There are actions we took that, if we had ever thought about the consequences, we never would have taken. Stuffing acyclovir into Tampax and smuggling a 45-kilo bag into Colombia -- I could have never seen the outside of a prison!
POZ: So what kind of moment are we in now?
JC: I spent Christmas eve at the bedside of a friend who died on Christmas day. That kind of throwback was very emotional. Why the history is so important to me right now is that we're seeing the point at which the cocktails are starting to fail us. It's important to start reorganizing, and those of us who have anything left have to try to bring it back out.

Baptist teenagers encouraged to become campus fishermen
By Lee Weeks, posted June 19, 2001 in
NEW ORLEANS (BP)–Youth ministries that impact the culture in the 21st century will recognize school campuses as mission fields, conference speakers said during the 2001 SBC Student Conference June 10-11.
"Consider yourself a missionary to your campus sent by God," Scott Grissom, an associate with the North American Mission Board's student evangelism team, challenged about 300 students attending the NAMB-sponsored conference at the Louisiana Superdome. "Recognize that God sends you to school, not the government or your parents."
Grissom introduced conference participants to a campus evangelism strategy called "FiSH" currently transforming Christian clubs on school campuses from social clicks to soul-winning stations for Christ.
Over the past nine months an average of 4,000 students per month have professed faith in Christ after attending a FiSH club at their school. Currently 2,400 schools in the United States and 11 countries have Christian clubs that practice the FiSH evangelism strategy.
FiSH, an acronym for Focus, Inspire, Share and Hook, includes a different weekly emphasis that is repeated each month.
The first week focuses on a time of prayer for students who do not know Jesus as Savior and Lord. The second week emphasizes inspiration and encouragement in the Christian walk. On the third week, students share their story or testimonies about what Christ is doing in their lives. On the fourth week of each month, the plan of salvation through faith in Christ is presented with an invitation for students to respond.
Daniel Guiffreda, 17, will be a senior in the fall at Ponchatoula High School near Hammond, La. Last fall, he started practicing the FiSH strategy in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at his school.
Guiffreda, who attended the conference, said the FiSH strategy keeps Christian clubs focused on what they were created to do.
"You're going to get the gospel out and you're also going to encourage — and that's what we're here for," Guiffreda said.
"We started seeing people getting saved," he said. "We started having more prayer time, and it brought the group closer together."
Grissom said FiSH is designed to focus Christian clubs on prayer, evangelism and discipleship. "The reason we don't talk to our friends about God is that we don't talk to God about our friends," Grissom told the students.
Allen Jackson, a youth ministry specialist at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, said impacting school campuses with the gospel is essential, not optional, for youth ministry in the new millennium.
"I have never seen a youth ministry grow unless evangelism was at the leading edge," Jackson said. "If we continue winning teenagers to Christ at the current rate, we will win only 4 percent of them to Jesus."
Emphasizing the urgency to reach teens with the gospel, Jackson cited a study by researcher George Barna which showed that one out of 10 people make professions of faith in Christ after age 18.
Jackson also warned youth ministry leaders to guard their time and their heart from the lure of the Internet through e-mail and inappropriate websites that make private sin tempting.
"If technology begins to take over your life, then it's no longer your friend because it replaces relationships," Jackson said.
In other activities, youth evangelist Stuart Hall of Cumming, Ga., encouraged teens and adults to quit trying to measure up to God's standards through their own efforts and humble themselves before God and ask him to make them righteous.
"You can't obtain righteousness yourself," Stuart said. "It's in God that we become righteous. It's not Christ and you. It's Christ in you. … You need to say, 'I quit, I need your righteousness, not my own.'"

The aim of the contest is to create a link between the world of design and production, and stimulate innovative solutions that start from the knowledge and from the eventual customization of materials used for the project. The design theme is Palazzo Ca' Tron, location of undergraduate degree programme in Planning and Urban Design at Università Iuav di Venezia, located in the historic center of the city.
The redevelopment project must consider the multiple functions that are attributed to the building. The University wishes to go beyond the traditional boundaries of the academic establishment to create a hybrid space, a place of relationships and a synergic exchange between students and the social and productive context of the territory. Palazzo Ca' Tron will have to assume the characteristics of a place of knowledge and active promotion for the ongoing urban transformations.
Competitors must have to design a new addition of the building: about 5% of the total volume. This operation can become an opportunity to support new spaces with specific features. Given the peculiarity of the intervention, one of the project constraints will be to create a dialogue between contemporary architecture and historical pre-existence.
Competitors are invited to create a functional-model, well balanced among its various components, in order to get to an idea of innovative space management, which knows how to connect the university spaces towards the public uses. The functional-model should also include external courts, which are an integral part of the project.
Within the project, it is mandatory to use the materials of all business partners for at least one application. The products can be used by selecting them from the partners catalogues, or otherwise, by proposing a customization to stimulate product innovation.
The contest takes place in a single step and is open to professionals from all over the world.
Competitors can be graduated, freelance architects, designers, engineers, architecture or engineering companies, with a proven qualification.
The participation at the contest is anonymous;
Competitors must be under 40 (before the date of delivery of the contest).
Competitors can join the contest both individually and in team.
Open a reflection on the digital manufacturing theme applied to the world of architecture, stimulating a single language in constructive processes between partners and competitors;
Take advantage of the opportunity to make product and process innovation with the know-how of venetian historical companies, that can support the designers throughout the design process;
Imagine a coherent system of macro strategies, which must be able to interact with the existing building and the surrounding historical fabric, and micro solutions of technological and constructive details, which must be part of a single project and easily achievable;
Obtain ideas that think of an innovative way of recovering a Venetian historic building, while maintaining a respectful dialogue with pre-existence. The possibility of adding a new construction will be an incentive to give a unique appearance to the building, making it the symbol of the synergic relationship between history and contemporaneity;
Promote a new use of an academic space, which must become a reference for students and citizens in Venice. This innovative place must become also an example of flexible intervention, capable of adapting to climate change and the global environmental challenges.
Continuity between micro and macro strategies, including ideas for innovation of construction components and plant detail that are strictly consistent with the overall design concept;
Coherence between innovation and the historical constraints of the building, respecting the urban context in which it operates and synergic relationship with the Laguna element;
Sustainability of the project that takes into account the entire lifecycle of the building, how it will be used, and how to maintain it;
Feasibility and economic sustainability of the proposals;
Compliance with the functional program.

3 Best Ammonia Stocks to Watch
By jhill
Aug 9, 2022 at 12:56PM
Ammonia is vital for helping with our food production. And since we all need to eat, demand should remain high. This is just one reason I've tracked down the best ammonia stocks.
To start, let's take a closer look at ammonia and the industry as a whole. This top down approach can help with finding better ways to invest. Then from there, we'll dive into the best ammonia stocks and company highlights. Without further ado…
Why Invest in Ammonia?
Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen. It has a wide range of uses. You can find it in cleaning supplies, as a refrigerant gas and for purification of water. We also use it to help make plastics, explosives, textiles, dyes and other chemicals.
It's a versatile compound but the bulk of it goes towards agriculture. We use roughly 80% of ammonia in fertilizer. And as the world population continues to climb, ammonia demand should move higher as well. This bodes well for the best ammonia stocks.
On top of that, there's a push to improve green ammonia production. A lot of ammonia comes from processing fossil fuels. Although, there are other ways to produce it sustainably. And as more people, companies and governments shift to zero carbon emissions, this could benefit the companies below.
Once you've checked out the best ammonia stocks, here are some water and agriculture stocks as well. Food and commodities can produce great returns for investors.
Best Ammonia Stocks
CF Industries Holdings (NYSE: CF)
AmmPower (OTC: AMMPF)
FuelPositive (OTC: NHHHF)
CF Industries Holdings
CF Industries Holdings is an American fertilizer business. It has manufacturing in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. It also reaches much further with the ability to ship its product to six continents.
The company produces close to 10 million tons of ammonia annually. And it sells a portion of the ammonia directly to agricultural or industrial customers. With the remaining ammonia, it uses it in other products, such as urea, UAN and diesel exhaust fluid.
CF Industries is also decarbonizing its network. The company is committed to scaling its ability to produce green and blue ammonia. And this is positioning CF Industries at the forefront of clean hydrogen and ammonia supply.
AmmPower
AmmPower is a small company and this ammonia stock comes with more risk. It's well within the penny stock category and trading volume is low. Nonetheless, the company gives investors an early investing opportunity.
The company is based in Canada and it focuses on production of green ammonia. AmmPower is developing technologies to produce green ammonia and hydrogen at scale. It's investigating catalytic reactions to bring down costs.
AmmPower isn't generating sales right now but it's making progress. It holds several letters of intent with ports in Brazil and the United States. It's also manufacturing IAMM™ units to create green ammonia for the agricultural industry. On top of that, AmmPower holds a lithium exploration property in Quebec and an option on the Titan Property located in Ontario.
With EV batteries pushing lithium demand higher, those properties might lead to revenue down the road. And here are some more established lithium mining stocks as well.
FuelPositive
FuelPositive is another small Canadian company. It's based in Toronto and also hasn't generated any sales. But it's growing and developing some promising projects…
FuelPositive's flagship product is a green ammonia production system. And it's for use across a broad spectrum of industries and applications. Earlier this year, the company announced its first demonstration project partner. And this month, it announced pre-sales and its selling price in preparation for the demo project launch.
These are big steps and great for investors to see. FuelPositive's green ammonia production system units are modular, scalable and portable. If this first big project goes well, we should see solid sales in the years ahead. And on top of that, the company hopes to obtain carbon credits and additional revenue for future growth.
Investing Beyond Ammonia Stocks
The ammonia stocks above give investors some good opportunities. Although, there are many other companies and industries to consider. For example, here are some vertical farming stocks.
There are some huge trends underway and new technologies to profit on. Although, the market is always moving and the best opportunities come and go.

Yankee Ingenuity – Pat Rooney
Yankee Ingenuity
by Pat Rooney
David McCullough's The Wright Brothers "is a story that resonates with anyone who believes deeply in the power of technology to change lives and the resistance some have to new innovations." This quote by Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, sums up the book in a nut shell. The story, of course, is about two bothers from Dayton Ohio. The technology is a flying machine built from scratch with hard work, determination, failure and persistence. Yankee Ingenuity at its best.
McCullough skillfully weaves the brothers' home life and its importance into the book. The two youngest sons of a minister and his wife were gifted mechanically. Their mother sensed this and always kept whatever they made as adolescents. Their genius was understated at first, opening a bicycle shop in Dayton to make a living while always dreaming of flight. Wilburn, for example, was always studying birds, fascinated by how they flew.
The book goes into detail about their struggles with their difficulties of flight, often disagreeing with each other forcefully. One of their big successes was a homemade wind tunnel which helped in their design of the wings. Their first year Kitty Hawk speaks to both successes as failures as they made progress, but more often experienced failure in the plane's design. The engine is a case in point. After failing to get any acceptable bids from local manufacturers (i.e. lightweight) they decided they had to build their own.
The book also explains how in the early 1900's the country was caught up in the thrall of flight. There was much press coverage and other competing inventors trying to fly with very dismal results. The U.S. Government had funded one inventor with Smithsonian Museum ties. After spending a large sum of money and after numerous failed attempts, most recently in the Potomac River, the Philadelphia Inquirer asked "why so far after so much attention has been paid to 'aerial navigation' had there been so few results?"
Wilburn and Orville were ultimately successful, of course, at Kitty Hawk, the following year. An interesting aspect of the story speaks to Jesus' admonition that "you can't be a prophet in your hometown." Few believed them. Especially in Dayton. During the process they were considered "fools" who were crazy and eccentric. Even the Federal Government ignored their request to sell their invention to the military. This forced Wilburn to go to France where their successful flights there enthralled the world and spurred continued innovation in flight. In 1908 it was Wilburn alone flying his machine. One year later there were 22 pilots and planes competing for new records. Higher, faster, longer.
McCullough completes the astonishing story using family correspondence, written records and his deep understanding of the country to bring the story to life. A story of distinctly American ingenuity, hard work and success, a story that changed the world dramatically, and a story that still resonates today. Highly recommended.


The term Special Agreement applies to some individually negotiated, single-employer contracts. Special Agreements are frequently used in cases of recently organized work or work that does not fall into an existing contract area. Examples of Special Agreements are the Ellis Island Contract and certain contracts for major tours of children's shows.
When Special Agreements are in use, members can find the collective bargaining agreement in the Rulebook Library in the Member Portal.
Producers with questions about Special Agreements should contact their closest Equity regional office.

Tunis is a melange of many identities. Roman history and Berber culture mixes in this eclectic city, always alive with activity.
Waves of immigration and invasions have continuously altered Tunis' face. Enter the old medina through the Bab el Bhar, a massive gate separating the medina and the more European-looking side of town.
Monuments dating back to the Ottoman Empire are tucked within the twisting maze. The angular minaret of the eighth-century Ez-Zitouna Mosque and the pointed top of the 17th-century Hammouda Pacha's peek between the palaces, mausoleums, and tiled walls of the UNESCO-listed area.
The Ville Nouvelle-developed in the 19th century by the French is a contrast with its Art Deco architecture and wider roads. Art Nouveau buildings are so decadent, they resemble over-the-top wedding cakes.
Piping hot cups of tea are served on arabesque trays in tiny cafes. Sprigs of mint and pine nuts bob on the glass cups' darkened surface. Baklava stuffed with chopped almonds is a sweet delight. The chatter of French and Arabic in the shisha cafes wafts into the narrow medina's lanes. Vendors tend to rows of babouches, traditional leather shoes with pointed curving toes. Turquoise and yellow arched doors dotted with decorative metals studs add yet another layer of color. Ornamental lamps in a variety of shapes and sizes hang in abundance. Follow the scent of fragrant perfumes to the Souk El Attarine. Heaps of henna and curvy bottles of jasmine oil are stacked like an apothecary. There are many souks and each sells something different from hand-painted plates to rich textiles.
One of the largest collections of Roman mosaics in the world is housed in the Bardo Museum. The palace complex dates back to 1228, and the museum also features marble statues propped up between exquisite columns and arches. Byzantine and Roman mosaics grace its walls and floors, giving you a glimpse into life in Roman Africa.
Imagine what this ancient land once looked like during the Phoenician and Roman times in Carthage. Julius Caesar established Carthage under Roman rule in 44 BC. From the hill of Byrsa, the Bay of Tunis unfolds before you, a shimmering blue Mediterranean expanse. Roman villas crumble among the palms and you can explore the ruins of the second-century Baths of Antoninus with a Ker & Downey guide.
Sidi Bou Said, just outside Tunis, is a haven of blue shutters and window grills. Bright pink bougainvillea climbs up whitewashed walls. This coastal cliff-top village is one of the most beautiful in Tunisia. The arrival of Spanish Muslims in the 16th-century influenced the distinctive architecture of this fishing enclave.
Our 14-day custom journey is designed to take you deep into the rich culture of Morocco and Tunisia, two faraway and truly fascinating lands.

Tired of Living with Missing Teeth?
Dental implants are the healthiest tooth replacement available today and with good reason. Let us show you how dental implants can change your life!
Say Goodbye to Unattractive Gaps in Your Smile!
Losing a tooth due to decay or injury has a dramatic impact on your lifestyle and self-confidence. If you have missing teeth, it is crucial to replace them; simple actions like speaking and eating can be a challenge, and a missing tooth can even change your facial contours.
If you're concerned about your appearance and frustrated by the inconvenience of living with missing teeth, dental implants may be the answer you're looking for.
Chehalis dentist, Dr. Andrew Cole, offers several tooth replacement options, and the type that is most popular with our patients are stable, durable dental implants.
Dental implants are a whole tooth replacement option that mimics natural tooth structure. An implant improves your appearance, and since it replaces the tooth root, it is also a healthy, long-term solution to tooth loss.
An implant has two main parts. Dr. Cole places a small titanium post in your jaw that's left to heal and integrates with bone and tissue to become a permanent part of your dental anatomy. The functional, visible part of the implant is a restoration like a crown, bridge, or denture that completes your smile.
When we finish the implant process, you'll be able to smile with confidence because no one will ever suspect you have a replacement tooth!
Your teeth are designed to work together efficiently. When you lose a tooth, stress is placed on your remaining teeth when you eat and chew. This excess force over time can lead to chipped, cracked or broken teeth.
Missing teeth also cause alignment problems. With nothing to hold them in place, teeth next to the space will gradually move out of place, shifting their alignment. Tooth misalignment can lead to decay and gum disease because it's harder to keep teeth clean when they are not aligned properly.
For your convenience and continuity of care, Dr. Cole handles the entire implant process from start to finish here at our Chehalis dental office. He places your implant and then creates the final restoration that becomes the visible part of your new tooth.
Having a dental implant placed is a big decision. You want to trust your care to a dentist who knows you and understands your needs. Dr. Cole devotes many hours every year to increase his knowledge and stay current with the latest developments in dentistry. You can feel confident knowing that you will receive exceptional care throughout the whole process.
Dental implants have changed the lives of millions of people. We know you have lots of questions about the process, and we're here to help you get the information you need. If you'd like to schedule a complimentary consultation, please give us a call, and we'll be happy to arrange a time that's convenient for you.

All honorable mention names you have submitted are on it, in alphabetical order. If you can't find the name you chose on the sheet, please email to support@frialigan.se ASAP.

(The honorable mention is also not included on the late pledge page.) The reason for this is that printing of the box is starting now, but the pledge manager will be open for some time longer, meaning we wouldn't have time to get everyone's name in time.

5 Key Takeaways from Conversations with Secretary Esper: Minister Linda Reynolds
Former Australian Minister of Defense and current Minister of Government Services and the National Disability Insurance Scheme Linda Reynolds joined former U.S. Secretary of Defense and current John S. McCain Distinguished Fellow Mark Esper for the third installment of Conversations with Secretary Esper. Their discussion centered around the America and Australia's efforts in the Indo-Pacific and the future of the region. The topics included the recent AUKUS Agreement, President Biden and Prime Minister Morrison's first meeting, and the legacy of Senator McCain and his family both in Australia and the wider region.
Watch the full event here or at the bottom of the page.
President Biden's Agreement with Australia is Building off of an Existing Rock-Solid Foundation
Minister Reynolds: "Well I think that it was significant on many levels, we celebrated last month the 70th anniversary of the ANZUS Treaty and what we saw between both our leaders is the next logical extension of that and its somewhat hard to pronounce, but the AUKUS Agreement is as important as I think it is difficult to pronounce. But what we saw is the realization that a hundred years of working together and serving together and a common acknowledgement that we have responsibility to work together in our region to preserve the rules based order to preserve sovereignty but also to preserve the principles and the values that we have fought for, for over a hundred years. And the partnership that we saw between my Prime Minister and your President is also a demonstration of the importance that trust and that relationship, and also the extension of another of the agreements that you and I signed together last year at AUS Meeting 2020 in terms of deeper technological engagement, greater interoperability and force posture agreements here in Australia and across the region. I just thought it was brilliant."
The Australia-U.S. Relationship Goes Far Deeper Than Just National Security
Minister Reynolds: "I think one of the important issues for use to remember is that our relationship is not just about shared security both bilaterally and multilaterally in our region, our relationship is also about the second stabilizer of democracy which is which is economic security. So our mutual investments in the region and our exercise of soft power both unilaterally and bilaterally it plays a really critical role not only in national security but in the economic security of our region."
Australia Remains one of America's Most Important Intelligence Allies
Secretary Esper: "Australia is one of the United States' most important intelligence allies and a member of the Five Eyes community which is another foundational relationship for the U.S., Australia, Great Britain and others."
Minister Reynolds: "The Five Eyes is often described as the jewel in the crown of our respective intelligence relationships and again is something we have both seen in action in our respective intelligence agencies…it only works because of the trust between us at all levels."
Quad Expansion is not Imminent
"I think the Quad has the potential to expand but I think like any arrangement, bilaterally between the four nations we have very strong relationships both with Japan and India, slightly different relationships given certain historical considerations and more contemporary considerations, but I don't think we should force it. I think the Quad is making some really significant advancements and as we're working more together as a Quad in a range of areas that's coming together very well. So it may well be that other countries such as Republic of Korea may well join but if it doesn't, that's ok too."
Senator McCain's Legacy is Still Felt in Australia
Minister Reynolds: "Can I just say that there's no more fitting organization to have this conversation with today than the McCain Institute, and as I said I thank you very much for that opportunity. As an institute not only inspired by Senator John McCain but by the service of his own family. John Sidney McCain III was a great friend of Australia and his loss is still deeply felt here. And we know that no one was more committed to the alliance between our two nations than Senator McCain was, and it was also clear to us here in Australia that Senator McCain really understood the modern challenges that both of our nations face and also the vital roles that we both play in the Indo-Pacific, roles that are specific but not necessarily identical. There is a very famous quote from Senator McCain that said his family had literally been sailing and flying around Australia and the Pacific for most of the past century, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse."

I couldn't find it on the store's Web site, and this photo I tracked down online really doesn't do it justice. Although the top is flowy, it doesn't have the raggy, hippie look suggested in this shot. Instead, the bust is form-fitting and the sleeves are long and narrow, so there's enough body consciousness to make it looked pulled together. The long, asymmetrical hemline covers the hips, so when worn over a tank top with skinny jeans, this top makes your legs look as if they go on forever.
In addition to the black and light grey pictured here, it's also available in black and a beautiful purple color called prune.
Aqua makes some of the most interesting jewelry on the market today. The Three Row Metal Torsade Necklace, available at Bloomingdale's, is a great basic piece that packs a lot of impact.
I love this Komorov dress available at Nordstrom. The fitted bodice and soft A-line make it easy to wear for most body types, and the color is almost universally flattering. Best of all, it's marked way down from the original price.
Anthropologie always seems to come through with the most interesting and stylish tops. My latest find is the Ruffled Terraces Cardigan–a wonderfully versatile, lightweight jersey top that can be dressed up or down to add great polish to a skirt, pants, or jeans.
Because of its cropped length and open front, it looks good over a longer tank or cami. I'm not usually a fan of ruffles, but these lie flat–adding interesting dimension as opposed to flounces and fluff. It tends to run just a bit large, so you might want to try going down a size.
Regardless of a woman's age, jeans are an essential part of her wardrobe. I wear them…I love them…but my biggest complaint is that the fly–particularly a button fly–invariably creates a lumpiness that I could do without. (Note: Sam Saboura's STYLED jeans mentioned in the post below are not guilty of this, and have the flattest fly panel I've ever seen.) Alas, many attempts to camouflage that extra bulk result in a too-baggy top that isn't even remotely flattering. Until now.
Featuring a multitude of snaps down the front, it drapes loosely over the belly yet defines the waist. The result is a body-conscious fit that make all traces of lumps and bumps disappear.
I bought it in a beautiful bluish-grey color that's perfect with denim, but the Anthro site features only the brown.
…that Sam Saboura's latest line of resort wear will be featured on HSN on January 19: 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. PST/noon and 6 p.m. EST.
Also, be sure to check out his slim-fit, straight-leg jeans on the HSN Web site. The fit is unbelievable!

AT&T has cut a deal to sell and lease back its WarnerMedia office space in New York's glitzy Hudson Yards development for $2.2 billion to help pare down its enormous debt load.
The Pentagon's research branch wants to use robots to repair the nation's satellites, an initiative which could lead to significant savings for U.S. space operations.
The U.S. Department of Defense's most advanced research and development arm is calling upon engineers and scientists to help develop robots capable of remotely repairing satellites in space.


The Pistol Annies performs on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Nov. 1, 2018.
The Pistol Annies — the country supergroup made up of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley — charmed The Tonight Show with the velvety "Best Years of My Life" off their new album Interstate Gospel on Thursday night (Nov. 2).
Lambert took the third, regretful chorus, "I was looking forward to/ Staying here forever/ 'Cause you asked me to/ Didn't think that I could do better/ So I settled down/ In this ten-cent town/ It's about to break me." The trio made news earlier this week when they dropped the provocative video for "Got My Name Changed Back," in which they take take a visit to the courthouse to get their divorce papers finalized.
Watch the Pistol Annies' contemplative Tonight Show performance below.

John Murray, 2nd Earl of Dunmore (31 October 1685 – 18 April 1752), also Viscount of Fincastle and Lord Murray of Blair, Moulin and Tullimet, was a Scottish peer and British Army general.

The second son of Charles Murray, 1st Earl of Dunmore (1661–1710), and the grandson of John Murray, 1st Marquess of Atholl, Murray became heir to his father's titles and estates in 1704 on the death of his older brother, James, Viscount Fincastle (1683–1704). He succeeded his father as Earl of Dunmore when he died, aged forty-nine, on 19 April 1710.

In 1719 he was one of the commanders of the British forces at the successful Capture of Vigo during the War of the Quadruple Alliance.

Dunmore sat in the House of Lords as a Scottish Representative Peer from 1713 to 1715 and again from 1727 until his death, unmarried, in 1752.

He had three younger brothers, two of whom also became British Army generals: Brigadier-General Robert Murray (1689–1738) and Lieutenant-General Thomas Murray (1698–1764); the third, William Murray (1696–1756) was a supporter of the Old Pretender and in 1746 pleaded guilty to treason, but was pardoned and in 1752 succeeded his brother as third earl.

Sunn O))) announce mercy themed yet "most metal album in years", Kannon.
Posted by Morgan Y Evans - Walking Bombs on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at 8:27 AM (PST)
photo by Peter Beste
I was talking recently to a bassist in one of my bands and he was worried our first single wasn't best representation of full scope of what we do in the group. I argued to let each song be what it is, as over time people grasp a fuller understanding of any artist and certain elements will rise and fall in any band's sound. Sunn O))) might get some snark at times from people who think they take drone and art and jazz, etc. too seriously, but anyone who has ever talked to the band members knows the reverence and high place they hold everything from black metal to cinema scores to philosophy in.
It is Sunn O)))'s drive to be themselves that arguably has allowed much of the smarter strains of metal to rise forefront again or to at least be encouraged to be sustainable at a certain level. From the swirling textural brilliance of Monoliths & Dimensions to recent triump team ups with Ulver and experimental music legend/not shitty politician Scott Walker, Sunn O))) have allowed things drone, the aesthetic of live shows as ritual and words like "soul" to gain as much attention as guitar tone. Arguably things like the ascendancy of Black Yo)))ga or even some of the rebirth of post-metal wouldn't be possible if not or their contributions, and certainly the band also helped clear up many older, outmoded ideas of black metal's influence being limited to purely church burning tantrums.
New album Kannon arrives this December and draws upon Eastern philosophy as well as Darkthrone's Panzerfaust, perhaps the only time you will get to read a sentence like that this week!
The literal representation of Kannon is as an aspect of Buddha: specifically "goddess of mercy" or "Perceiving the Sounds (or Cries) of the World." She is also sometimes commonly known as the Guanyin Bodhisattva (Chinese: 觀音菩薩) amongst a plurality of other forms. There is a rich lineage behind this idea tracing back through many Asian belief systems, with as many names and cultural personifications of the idea.
SUNN O))) commissioned critical theorist Aliza Shvartz to write text and liner notes around these ideas and topics. She also explores the relations and perceptions to their approach to these ideas via the metonym of music and SUNN O)))'s place/approach within the framework of music and metal overall. The band also enlisted Swiss designer/artist Angela LaFont Bollinger to create the cover artwork, an abstracted sculpture of vision of Kannon. French photographer Estelle Hanania captures portraits of the core trio (Csihar, Anderson, O'Malley) in the impressive and obscurant Emanuel Vingeland mausoleum in Oslo.
Kannon will be available on gatefold LP, CD and digital formats worldwide on December 4th, with a limited number of clear vinyl available on Black Friday RSD, Friday, November 27th.

Technical death metal pioneers DEEDS OF FLESH return after a seven year hiatus with their 9th studio album Nucleus, set for release via Unique Leader Records on 11th December 2020 (Vinyl release 15th January 2021). The band's first release since the tragic passing of guitarist / vocalist and Unique Leader founder Erik Lindmark, who lost a battle with sclerosis in 2018, Nucleus features guest performances some of the biggest names in extreme metal to celebrate his life and contribution to metal. Vocalist Jacoby Kingston is joined by members of Pathology, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Submerged, Decrepit Birth and more. With a mix of the old and new style of DEEDS OF FLESH writing, this album is the completion of a story that began with Of What's to Come (2008) and ran through Portals to Canaan (2013). The music was written by Erik Lindmark (RIP), Craig Peters, Ivan Munguia and Darren Cesca, and had been recorded and partially mixed for almost four years. When Erik Lindmark passed in 2018, vocalist Jacoby Kingston came out of retirement to help finish the album. Alongside long-time drummer Mike Hamilton, they finished the story arc, wrote the lyrics and made the vocal arrangements for Nucleus.

During the salmon season we arrange fishing on some of the finest beats on the River Laggan on Islay. During a spate this can be a very productive river indeed.
The cost per head for our scheduled trips in 2017 / 2018 is £1200. This is based on all the above benefits. Extra activities such as stalking, fast RIB sea safaris, shooting and distillery masterclasses may be added for an extra cost. Guests are asked to make their own travel arrangements to get to Islay. We can offer advice on this if required. We also strongly suggest that guests take out their own travel insurance to cover any ferry / plane cancellations or travel disruption which may prevent them from reaching Islay.
