People like to think about the European Union (EU) as a pragmatic, bureaucratic system, which is an institution enabling the member states to cooperate. One could say that the European community is based on economic association, and the biggest problem for the EU is the shape of bananas. Nevertheless, this perception could not be further from the truth.
Politics have been shaping the destiny of this community since the beginning of European cooperation. The founding fathers of the European Union and the leaders of the member states had lively political debates over the terminus of the project. While Altiero Spinelli and Jean Monnet argued for a more united union – even a federal one in the form of the so-called ‘United States of Europe’ – other political leaders, including Charles De Gaulle and Winston Churchill, wanted to give more sovereignty to the member states. The debate has not ended, and the two sides are still fighting for hegemony over the European Union and its future.

Over the decades, the European Economic Community (EEC) transformed into the European Union. As time goes by, more political decisions are being made at the EU level. However, the future of the EU is still unclear. It remains to be seen how the integration will end up, what the primary goal of the cooperation is and how will it be achieved. Nevertheless, the competition of visions is not a problem at all: the history of the integration is based on this cleavage, and there were periods (like the Empty Chair Crisis in 1965) when the sovereignty of the member states won the round, and other times (like the Delors white book in 1985) when the European integration could be deepened.
The real problem of the debate on the future of the European Union is the lack of innovation and encouragement on the federalist side. The failure of the European Constitution and the series of crises in the past decade discouraged the reformers. Instead of thought-provoking discussions and bold new draft treaties, everyone is talking about failed small-scale reforms without new conceptions, a partial increase of the power of the institutions, and the “Conference on the Future of Europe,” which is just a proposal-collecting series for the decision-makers, without any binding consequences.
The European community needs original alternatives and progressive solutions that will redesign the shape of the EU and our thinking about politics. For this purpose, a federal Europe cannot stand without deep and all-encompassing democratization. Only democratic legitimacy could give enough power and authorization to a federal reform package. | <urn:uuid:5c4711fc-a337-43be-9401-fb7a8adf8e7e> | {

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.
And then he opened his mouth.
Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something... unexpected happens.
The hot alien living next door marks me.
You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.
If I don't kill him first, that is.
It was a pleasant change to read a YA book about aliens rather than the usual vampire/werewolves/Nephilim/faerie, which make up most of the fantasies these days. I can’t think of many young adult books that revolve around the idea of aliens. The behind story was well thought out and original, and didn’t sound ridiculous. I loved the fact that no two Luxen had the same level of power and that they all blended into human society quite well. The chemistry in this book? On-point. There is no love at first sight.
I just absolutely fell in love with Katy’s character right from the start. She was down to earth, funny, sarcastic and full of witty remarks. She was easy to relate with her being a book blogger and all. I admired her strength and her ability to stand up for herself against someone such as Daemon Black with his infuriating, arrogant and stab-worthy personality. I didn’t know whether I should love him of hate him. He got on my nerves a few times to the point that I wanted to smack him senseless. He grew on me eventually like moss, or a skin disease. (In a nice way… if that’s possible. Reference from The Mortal Instruments) So basically watch I'm trying to say is... Watch out Jacob Black, because there's a new Black in town that's hotter than ever! | <urn:uuid:c18866af-9059-446a-9cc4-6197165e7d08> | {

Family holidays can be a lot of fun, however they can also be quite testing of one’s patience, but when I was younger, my family & I would go on many trips together, & some of my fondest memories are from those trips.
Now that I am married & have my own family, I understand why my Dad & dad my nice friend and I often busy out on family trips. It is unquestionably a lot of work to plan & follow through with a family holiday. It seems like there is always something that goes wrong. This past summer, our family took a trip to the mountains, & minus the road trip there & back, it was a lot of fun! On our way there, the a/c in our van went out. My buddy and I tried to stay positive & just recharge it hoping that it would last the rest of the trip. Sadly, my nice friend and I only had a/c for about two hours after my nice friend and I recharged it, & then it was out again. My wife ran some dye through the a/c lines & found out that my nice friend and I had a leak in one of our lines. So, my nice friend and I did not have a/c for the entire rest of the trip which was seven more hours, however everyone was tepid & miserable. My wife tried to get the line replaced while my nice friend and I were at our chalet, however the mechanic was asking for too much cash. My wife knew she could really replace it himself when my nice friend and I got back home, however that meant the entire trip home would be without a/c as well. In the end, the trip was a blast, but I hope my nice friend and I never lose A/C on a trip again. | <urn:uuid:be32dc52-2bf2-4ba2-b3a3-3e3d0eb1bcaa> | {

Reliance SEZ in Haryana sanctioned
it's official. The Reliance special economic zone (sez) project in Haryana is on. On June 5, the Board of Approval of sezs, a government body, gave its nod to the sez, which is to come up in 565 hectares (ha) in Gurgaon and Jhajjar districts of Haryana. Land was acquired by Haryana State Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (hsiidc), a shareholder in the project, five years ago.
Residents have taken to the streets protesting against the project. A group of 100 villagers, mostly women from Garuali Khurd village of Gurgaon, chased away a team of Reliance land surveyors who had come to inspect land for construction of the first phase of the sez. Five villages Khandsa, Narsinghpur, Mohammedpur, Garauli and Harsaru are under the 565 ha, the residents of which are opposing any kind of industrial development in the area.
According to Jay Narain, a resident, land was acquired by hsiidc by the Om Prakash Chautala government for setting up of an industrial township. But no industrial town came up and when the Congress-led Bhupinder Singh Hooda government came to power in 2005, it decided to give the acquired land to Reliance for a sez. "Land was acquired for just Rs 8-9 lakh per acre by the previous government. When the current government gave land to Reliance, it paid farmers another Rs 12-14 lakh. Compared to current land prices in the area, which is going as high as Rs 2 crore per acre, the government's compensation is nothing,' says Narain.
Farmers say Reliance should take their land on lease. "The farmers should remain the owners and if any company wishes to set up any industry here, it must be prepared to sign a lease agreement,' says Captain Satvir Gulia of Jagrut Kisan Manch, a farmers association in Jhajjar. Satpal Singh, the nambardar (village level representative of revenue department) of Badli village in Jhajjar says the land that Reliance is eyeing is one of the most fertile regions in Haryana. "The land here supports at least two crops of wheat and rice in a year. It grows bajra, water melons and some garden vegetables like khakri and tomatoes,' says Singh. "Farmers earn Rs 100,000-150,000 annually from agriculture. Money from leasing land to industries should be able to compensate for our losses,' he adds.
The farmers have warned Reliance of another Nandigram. Clearly, the troubles have only begun. | <urn:uuid:728978e6-2967-4c97-86fe-b465f97d94cd> | {

The tourism sector is expected to drive Africa’s economic growth following the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, AfCFTA, through its travel and hospitality subsectors. This can be attributed to the progressive contribution of the two sectors to the continent’s GDP, from 7.8 per cent in 2016; 8.1 per cent in 2017 to 8.5 per cent (about $194.2 billion) in 2018). This impressive growth made African region the second-fastest-growing tourism industry in the world, with a growth rate of 5.6 per cent in 2018. In 2018, there were 67 million visitors to Africa on business and leisure.
This showed a seven per cent increase from 63 million recorded in 2017 and a significant increase from 58 million in 2016.This figure is expected to rise in astronomical proportions in the coming years when the AfCFTA becomes operational. There are 55 countries on the African continent with about 1.2 billion people, and with a combined GDP of $2.4 trillion. The expectation is that AfCTA would create the world’s largest free trade area. This will hopefully promote intra-African trade that currently stands at a paltry 16 per cent.
Globally, the impact of tourism and hospitality economy is very significant; the sector encompasses 266 million jobs and contributes 9.5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).
Available statistics also indicate that African countries such as Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt have experienced continued economic activities thus, creating demand from institutional investors as well as major hotel brands to see expansion into the region as a source of future growth. The high volume of global capital chasing real estate opportunities also contributed to the recent surge of M&A (Mergers & Acquisition) activities in the region. Travel and tourism remains one of the key growth drivers of the economy in Africa, contributing 8.5 per cent of the GDP in 2018, equivalent to $194.2 billion.
According to the 2019 Jumia Hospitality Report Africa, this growth record placed the continent as the second-fastest growing region in the world, with a growth rate of 5.6 per cent, after Asia-Pacific and against a 3.9 per cent global average growth rate.
Record also shows that Africa received 67 million international tourist arrivals in 2018, to record a 7 percent increase from 63 million arrivals in 2017 and 58 million in 2016. This gradual increase is attributed to the affordability and ease of travel, especially within the continent, with spending among domestic travelers accounting for 56 per cent as compared to 44 per cent international expenditure. Additionally, leisure travel remains an important component of Africa’s tourism industry, taking up a majority 71 per cent of the tourist expenditure in 2018.
Meanwhile, the PWC Hospitality outlook: 2019-2023, indicates that overall room revenue in South Africa, Nigeria, Mauritius, Kenya and Tanzania rose 7.4 per cent in 2018, up from the 1.9 per cent increase in 2017, principally reflecting a 28 percentage point turnaround in Kenya, a 15.4 percentage point turnaround in Tanzania, as well as a 7.2 percentage point improvement in Nigeria. Mauritius continued to grow at double-digit rates in 2018, but room revenue growth in South Africa fell to only 0.5 per cent.
The report also show an increase in both foreign and domestic traveler numbers, along with an expansion in several hotel chains on the continent, which reinforces the hotel sector’s potential for growth.
The free movement of people and goods within the continent will expectedly open up new vistas in the tourism industry, creating business opportunities for investors. A few years ago, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, PwC, predicted that the hospitality sub-sector would be one of the key drivers of economic growth on the continent. The prediction was premised on the fact that an increase in both domestic and international travels would lead to an expansion of hotel chains on the continent, which would, in turn, reinforce the growth potential of the sub-sector.
PwC named five countries in Africa where the hotel sector is going to experience growth, with significant increase in room revenue, namely: South Africa, Nigeria, Mauritius, Tanzania and Kenya. The company expected Nigeria to be the fastest-growing hotel market in Africa over a five year period, ending 2022.
Indeed, the forecast is that Nigeria will become the fastest-growing tourism market on the continent, with a projected 12 per cent compound annual increase. This forecast is predicated on Nigeria’s growing affluence which would make consumer tourism a more important sector. Adventure tourism is becoming more popular and the growing interest in experiences is allowing the country to attract visitors interested in the local culture.
International hotel brands have apparently recognised the potential of the African hospitality industry, which explains why some of them are currently embarking on expansion programmes on the continent. In 2017, the Hyatt hotel chain announced plans to double its presence in Africa by 2020. Marriot started an expansion programme that would increase its portfolio on the continent by 50 per cent by 2023. It is the same year the Hilton group intends to double its presence in Africa, while Radisson will reach the same goal in Francophone countries on the continent by 2022.
A number of African hotel brands are establishing strong footholds on the continent, though without the spread of their international counterparts. The spread has started, all the same. The big ones are predominantly South African-owned, like Tsogo Sun under which are Southern Sun and Sun International, Protea as well as Laico Hotels and Resorts.
The expected growth of the hospitality sub-sector is going to impact on many other sectors in the value chain the reason it is predicted to be an economic growth driver. Such sectors include agriculture, garment, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering; furniture, manufacturing, etc.
Hotels will rely on local farmers for sources of agricultural produce, including poultry, beef and fish, thereby creating jobs and enhancing those businesses, with the ultimate benefit of improving the quality of lives of people in those sectors. They will also rely on local manufacturers of agro-allied products like fruit juice and dairy as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Establishment of more hotels means a boost to the garment sector that provides the source for the supply of curtains, table cloths, bedsheets and staff uniforms. There will be something for interior decorators as well. The economic benefits for producers and suppliers in the entire chain are quite enormous. Job creation is expected to receive a boost in the coming years, a direct fallout of the growth in the tourism industry. In 2018, the industry provided direct and indirect employment for about 24.3 million people in 2018, accounting for approximately 6.7 per cent of total employment on the continent.
The expected boom in the industry is one that will create a healthy competition, which would enable hotels to bring out their best in terms of service delivery. This is an opportunity for highly skilled and specialised workers such as managers, chefs, waiters and porters – the category of workers that may also benefit from regular training by hotels intent on maintaining the highest standards. All these will contribute to improving the quality of service delivery. The emerging scenario is one that holds high hopes for African hotel brands, though it will also task their ingenuity and resourcefulness in the face of stiff competition from international brands.
Tourism to the African continent has proven to be resilient in the face of economic and political uncertainty, impacts of droughts and other regulatory changes. The opportunities are aplenty for this industry to enjoy further growth albeit at a more modest pace. However, as we continue to see there are also a number of challenges facing each country. This is an industry that is reactive to the smallest change in political, regulatory, safety and sustainability matters,” Pietro Calicchio, hospitality industry leader for PwC Southern Africa, said in a statement.
A couple of factors are responsible for the growth in the sector within the continent, with Internet penetration being one of them. Available statistics show that penetration in the continent has gone up from 27.7 per cent in 2017 to 35.2 percent in 2018. With over 453 million Internet users, the rise of mobile technology is certain. In many countries the penetration of Internet is well above 50 per cent and this is a promising number for hotels to invest in mobile technology. Several issues, such as online bookings, booking confirmations, push notifications, guest feedback requests, guest reviews, and so much more can be tackled effectively, thus. Though Africa has a long way to go, there is still enough scope to make the most of the current scenario.
Meanwhile, for the last two decades or so, tech adoption in the hospitality industry has been on the rise. Especially in the last decade, several disruptions have transformed the way hotels operate. Right CRMs from replacing booking registers to maintain reservation logs, to kiosks replacing guest-facing staff to improve check-in and checkout processes, several advancements have taken place from the technological standpoint. And yet, it appears as if we are only just getting started.
The pace at which tech-adoption happens is a function of several factors such as budget, specific business requirements, availability of options, personal stigmas, etc. As for Africa, the biggest bottleneck is the lack of Internet connectivity. With sustained growth in Internet penetration, technology will steadily transform the climate of hospitality industry. Again, with the millennials contributing to about 30 per cent of the continent’s population, the need to adapt to their ways is high. Customization and personalization, on the other hand, have become key in the hospitality sector; nothing is as powerful as personalized service. From the inception stage right through the every-day guest experience activities, personalizing is non-negotiable. In the backdrop of several large hotel chains investing in Africa, it is very essential to retain the local essence as well. Be it open APIs allowing more tech customization, or targeted and customized marketing initiatives, to hyper-personalized guest experiences, this trend is surely going to bring in some sweet victories.
However, the premise is that, in due course of time, a cloud-based Property Management System will be the norm across the continent. When the best-in-class systems come together, your cloud-based Management System will be invincible. The myth that a reservation system alone is capable of handling the day-to-day activities of a hotel is soon dissolving, the world over. Hoteliers are waking up to the real potential of a cloud-based PMS that allows integrations with all the other systems that contribute to a holistic property management solution.
It is worthy of note that 2016 and 2017 saw some nasty high-profile cyber security breaches taking place across Africa. While regulators are imposing serious financial penalties on organizations that fall prey to such breaches, the trend has yet to subside. With cloud-tech adoption gaining increasing momentum, the chances of cybersecurity threats and breaches are minimized. Managing hotel operations on a cloud-based Property Management System gives multiple benefits; the most important ones being complete data security and anytime-anywhere access to your hotel data. An on-premise PMS can never compete with a cloud-based PMS when it comes to data security. But to realize the full potential of the sector, experts are of the opinion that cooperation from all industry players is required. Most importantly, governments have to be willing to eliminate visa requirements for African nationals traveling to their countries; there should be free movement across the continent.
A standing committee of the Hospitality and Tourism industry committee (HTIC). It provides global advisory and related industry insights to the Hospitality and Tourism industry committee on how to globally scale-up the operations and impact of the Hospitality and Tourism industry in Africa; to promote its global competitiveness and improve its collaboration with science and technology Research Institutions in Africa and other parts of the world. It would also help to build collaborations with other partners in other parts of the world.
It would be made up of the following:

Sunny.31C (but doesn't feel like it)
And Nicole Kidman is playing Mrs. Coulter, which, I think, is a perfect match, despite the character's evilness. The Golden Compass is the first book of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series and have won a number of awards. Even though it's classified as children's books and often compared to Harry Potter, I found HDM truly much darker and serious. Miranda first introduced it to me back in 2002 when I was visited her in NYC, and I immediately went to the library to borrow it when I returned. It was a fun and unstoppable read. It's also an adventure, which, you must pack your imagination along with you!
Dakota Blue Richards will be playing Lyra, the main character. Apparently, Dakota has won the role against a few hundreds other girls while they auditioned in the UK and is a newcomer, so no picture is available on the web and is rather mysterious (which fits the book)! It's going to be a rather long wait as the movie won't be completed until some time in 2007. So, in the meantime, I should go back to re-read the novel and finish off the final book of the series! | <urn:uuid:8696d276-7bd9-459f-8e6d-04ecd26f2bea> | {

In one of his newest public addresses, the Israeli prime minister has said that to defeat Islamofascism could take decades:
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spelled out his long term vision for the coming century in his speech to the President's Conference Thursday. In it, he said that militant Islam will be defeated by the end of the century, and that in the intervening decades, the challenge before the free countries is to prevent rogue states from developing weapons of mass destruction.You can watch the video or read the text at the link. We can only hope this is so, but until then, there's more than just the need to stop these autocracies from building nuclears, there's also the need to stop Islamofascists from destroying democracies from within, as is happening in Europe right now, and even in other countries around the world. And that too is something that could take a long time to deal with properly. | <urn:uuid:d7941a93-b98a-4ca2-a0e0-960ce0a68f23> | {

A good friend of mine called me today and let me know he had just been laid off. He was in a high-paying management job, and his boss came in today and out-of-the-blue fired him. That has to be devastating. When I think of all the down sides of working for someone else it reminds me of how fortunate I am to be self-employed. If I put in the work, I get the reward. There are no office politics to deal with, no personality conflicts, and no one I have to count on to pull me out of a jam. I am totally responsible for my own success or failure. No one can fire me.
Blaming Robs You of Your Power
While it is true that no one can fire me, my career does seem under threat. Photographers, particularly long-time stock shooters, are having a difficult time. My own income is down almost thirty-perecent…which isn’t too bad by a lot of accounts. But if you truly accept full responsibility for your self, there is no blaming. I don’t blame the micro stock shooters and I don’t blame Getty or any of the other agencies. Blaming others just robs you of your power. That doesn’t mean I like the downward price pressure from micro stock competition, or the fact that Corbis just lowered my royalty percentage, or the fact that Getty is now sending me royalties of less than a dollar per license. It is just that complaining about it not only doesn’t do any good, but it actually directs my energy away from dealing effectively with the new realities.
Responsibility Means Learning
Accepting total responsibility for your success or failure is perhaps the key step for successfully competing in photography today…at least if you want to make a decent living at it. To succeed in the face of the kind of overwhelming competition that is emerging in this flickr, iStock, and Internet era requires total commitment. It means a whole lot more than making great photos. It means learning about distribution, learning about the market, and learning your craft. Sometimes it means learning something difficult to learn that you may not end up using at all. I am learning SEO. I have been learning Final Cut Pro and have no idea if I will eventually end up needing it or not. I haven’t yet tried shooting video with a DSLR, but I am going to because I think I would be remiss if I didn’t explore that possibility. I am taking full responsibility for my future as a professional photographer.
Industry Assessment, Opportunities, and Strategic Thinking
Being responsible for your future means realistically assessing the photography industry and where you fit in, where the new opportunities are, and which ones you are both suited for and interested in pursuing. I believe that strategic thinking is going to get more and more important. It used to be, with stock, you just had to make great images, or heck, even not-so-great images, and send them in. I my mind there is no doubt that this business is just going to get harder and require more and more strategic thinking. If you are not ready to take total responsibility for your photography future then your future might be in serious doubt. | <urn:uuid:08bced5d-e929-4219-be4b-30bf799b82f7> | {

Dr. Sophie Winston and her team of survivors fend off the alien invasion in Orbs II: Stranded, the second book in Nicholas Sansbury Smith's bestselling Orbs series.At the end of the world, who can you trust? The aliens have invaded, wiping out almost all life on earth. Their goal: water. Huge spaceships are draining the oceans, and the few remaining humans have been herded into farms, where their bodies are harvested to support the growing alien army. Humanity's last chance lies in the biospheres that have been planted secretly across the globe. But all is not peaceful in the biosphere led by Dr. Sophie Winston. With resources dwindling and tensions high, her small group of survivors is divided. Some want to fight, some want to stay hidden, and Sophie just wants to keep everyone alive. When one of their own, eleven-year-old Jeff, is kidnapped by the Organics, Sophie is forced to pick sides. With the help of a promising new magnetic weapon, the biosphere team just might have a fighting chance to save Jeff and the world--if they live long enough to use it.

You will want to read the first book in the series Orbs in order to understand the Aliens and world that this series is based upon. Nicholas Sansbury Smith is back with the second book in his Orb series, where water is becoming more and more scarce: The Alien invasion has wiped out most of the lif...
Book 2 opens up with a survivor running for his life. He's alone and trying to evade the aliens that are slowly killing earth. Just as he's about to give up, he learns of a group of people who are working on a project that can help destroy the creatures that are absorbing all the water from the land...
While the first Orbs book was about survival, the theme running through Orbs II: Stranded is 'desperation'. The odds are stacked high against the human race and the survivors at Cheyenne Mountain. In fact, one has to question if the human race has any hope of survival at all. The 'Organics' aliens c... | <urn:uuid:00ec2305-350c-4ac8-a20b-ab6ccdf60fe6> | {

Bournville Harriers men’s cross country M35 relay team won gold in their age category and finished first overall in the British Masters championships at Moorways stadium, Derby on Saturday 23rd November 2013.
Bournville Harriers men sent two M35 teams and the women a W35 and a W45 team. The men finished 1st and 19th and the women’s teams both finished 10th in their respective races.
Full results can be found here
Each leg involved 2 laps around a twisting and undulating course making it an enjoyable event to watch and to keep track of what was happening overall.
The women were first off, and it was really good to have two teams out there (100% increase on last year). There was a really strong field out there and some international runners, but each and every member of the team gave it their all. Special mention to Lesley Proctor who was running her first XC. This was a really good opportunity to have a go at XC in a short course and we hope that this will be the start Lesley running XC regularly. Lesley Pymm ran as a W45 – come on, there must be more over 55s out there, let’s have a W55 team next year. Jude Glynn made up the W45 team, running as enthusiastically as ever. The W35 team comprised Sarah Rock, Suz West and Laura Gale who all had strong runs. BvH women’s XC goes from strength to strength, but we were very much the warm up act for our fantastic M35 team.
Aiming to improve upon the bronze medal from last year’s event Sam Chatwin showed the A team’s intention by taking an early lead up the hill in the first lap. Sam held his form well to put the team in 3rd place in the M35 category and 5th overall, knocking over 40 seconds off his time from last year in the process. I managed to gain a position overall with one of the M45 teams dropping out of contention. Sean Rose ran a strong 3rd leg with an exciting finish as around 4 runners battled for places. Stuart Pearson on the 4th leg demonstrated that he could step up to the challenge of the A team and ran a fine leg that kept us in the chasing pack with the Leicester M45 team (last year’s overall winners) and Tipton forging around a 20 second lead from the rest. With Dean Parker who is in great form running the 5th and final leg it gave us real hope of closing the gap. Dean, as always, didn’t disappoint and by the end of lap one had eased into first place in the M35 race and had the Leicester M45 runner in his sights. It was a great sight to see Dean emerge from the woods before the finishing stretch in first place! He finished with our fastest leg of the day and had built up almost a 30 second lead and so could enjoy a well earned celebration as he crossed the finishing line!
The B team finished a creditable 19th in the M35 race considering that 4 of the 5 could have run in older age categories (we didn’t quite have the right combination to field a complete team in a different category so we should try to improve that for next year). John Enright, Terry Doherty and Paul Dugmore who were also in our team at the English National cross country relays continued to show good form from that event and Paul finished with the fastest leg of the day for the B team. Barrie Roberts on the 4th leg knocked 40 seconds off his time from last year showing what you can do as an M70 (the course announcer did express his surprise at seeing an M70 in an M35 team!). Kevin Peace on the last leg ran a similar time to last year which was a great achievement as the field was very spread out by this point.
A big thank you to all the BvH supporters who travelled to Derby and to the ladies teams who stayed to cheer us round the course. They all had to wait quite a long time, as the officials sorted out the results, to see us collect our medals. So a successful and very enjoyable day all round. | <urn:uuid:4d96c168-e1eb-4559-b138-9686171eed56> | {

To Barcelona FC,
We are 1,000 citizens of Israel, who are active against our government's violations of international law and human rights against the indigenous Palestinian people . We support the Palestinian civil society call for boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) of Israel, until it ends its military occupation and apartheid policies . Most relevantly, we support the call from Palestinian sports clubs to you, to cancel your match against Beitar Jerusalem, the Barça Exhibition to be held in Tel Aviv, and to withdraw from the Legends Clásico “peace” match .
We reiterate the points made by the Palestinian sports clubs, adding our voices to the hundreds of complaints from clubs and fans against this match:
Teddy Stadium, where you are scheduled to play, sits atop Al-Malha, an indigenous Palestinian village, ethnically cleansed in 1948 by the Zionist militias , and just kilometers away from Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, where Israel continues its ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinian communities, as you play.
The host of the match, the Jerusalem municipality, is one of the main actors in the current ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinian Jerusalemites, in neighborhoods like Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan. It is also important to note, vis-a-vis Israel's municipalities, that in indigenous Palestinian cities that survived the ethnic cleansing of 1948, the newly established state of Israel replaced the existing Palestinian governance systems with completely new municipalities that excluded Palestinians, allowing for the militarized ethnic cleansing to continue in the form of zoning regulations, lack of building permits, and lack of services. To this day, it is state policy to keep surviving indigenous Palestinians out of decision making roles in local municipalities .
Israel executes, imprisons, and tortures the indigenous Palestinian population, every day, among them athletes, among them football players . Restrictions on movement also play a role in the disruption of players' careers, and the entire Palestinian sports industry.
Beitar, your "friendly" opponent, is the most racist club in Israeli football, to the extent that its fan club took an active role in pogroms against indigenous Palestinian citizens of Israel, just two months ago , showcasing that when they habitually chant "Death to the Arabs" during matches, they mean it.
The last point made by the Palestinian football clubs to you, is that prominent international and Israeli human rights organizations have described Israel as an apartheid regime. We add the links they provided to our footnotes, as well as additional links .
Finally, we would like to add that Charlton Broadcasting, who will be broadcasting your match, is an Israeli broadcasting company whose content would be inaccessible to viewers without a subscription to one of Israel's media companies, all of whom are on the UN list of companies complicit with Israel's colonies and war crimes in the West Bank in some way or another .
It is for all this, that we add our voices to so many people across the world already asking you to respect Palestinian human, civil, and indigenous rights, and show your solidarity with them, by cancelling all your events in Israel.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have.

The Last Word (tm) SURPRISE!
A nonpartisan populist zine!
Vol. 13/No. 12 - 411th issue - October 7, 2004
Bathroom Bandit, editor-in-chief - serving Bellevue, KY, from New America
[email protected] - http://members.iglou.com/bandit
blog blogga blog at http://bandit73.pitas.com
(How much longer can we last?)
We'd hate to spend any more time on this, but the wingnuts still won't shut up about Bush's National Guard memos - even in the face of mounds of evidence that the tinfoil hat crew is wrong - so we might as well expose them some more.
The net of right-wing blogs, which is bankrolled by the Republican National Committee, has successfully bullied CBS into going back on its story of the memos, despite overwhelming proof the memos are real. Other major media, which never paid attention to the facts to start with, heightened their incorrect stance that the documents are fake - even saying flat-out they're fake, when they clearly aren't.
These days, there's nothing the blog bullies or their congressional cronies won't say or do that wouldn't have been considered preposterous just a few years ago - and people seem to slurp it up like toilet water. People now will believe a lie just because conservatives spew it. Conservatives say it, so it must be true. They don't ever have to provide proof.
If right-wing bloggers said the sun is blue and grass is orange, and any journalist said they were wrong, they'd be beating down the journalist's door the next night with tar and feathers. And people these days would cheer them on - since they think it's unpatriotic not to.
After the 1994 election, fascists boasted it was the first so-called election ever to be decided by right-wing talk radio. (Without hate radio, all the fraud wouldn't have mattered.) It looks like 2004 could be the first one in which a deciding factor is right-wing blogs.
In addition to the hounding by blogs, CBS and USA Today may face a congressional investigation for daring to report a story that casts Bush negatively. Right-wing Rep. Christopher Cox (R-California) has formally demanded an investigation of Dan Rather, accusing him of being part of a criminal conspiracy to rig the election, just because Rather won't do things the way conservatives want him to.
Investigate THIS, Congress:
If CBS is accused of rigging an election by reporting facts, then why aren't other outlets accused of the same for reporting falsehoods? You can just as easily make the case that Rush Limbaugh has rigged every election for the past 15 years.
Oh, and guess who's cheering Mr. Cox on? Why, the right-wing bloggers and participation-based phony news sites like Freak Republic. Of course.
CBS sure didn't help matters by caving in and appointing right-wing former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh to investigate its own story.
In the past couple weeks CBS affiliates have received thousands of e-mails from right-wing extremists demanding the firing of Rather. Almost all of these are part of an effort organized by a fascist website owner. Right-wing radio station WNIS in Norfolk, VA, dropped its affiliation with CBS radio news because, in the words of the corporate stuffed shirts, "this is a conservative market and people felt that CBS was exhibiting a great deal of liberal bias."
Even websites designed to be nonpartisan don't last long these days without being "freeped" - Freak Republic's own term for sabotaging sites, something the Freak Republic site encourages conservatives to do. Freak Republic also encourages readers to disrupt political rallies. One article exposing Freak Republic says the site's goal is to bully and shout down anyone who opposes conservative causes. One way they do this is by voting multiple times in Internet polls on mainstream news sites. Because of Freak Republic's sabotage of one poll, the poll said that 86.5% of respondents believed the greenhouse effect doesn't exist. (Incidentally, Freak Republic has been sued by several newspapers for copyright infringement.)
In one message forum that was designed to be nonpartisan but is now being sabotaged by RNC operatives, conservatives have just in the past few weeks chased away several dissenters by calling them "communists" and "morons" and reporting them to the moderator for daring to have the "wrong" opinions. In addition they spout extremist causes, such as a law to bar people who receive public assistance from voting and the incorrect view that West Virginia acquired statehood illegally. One right-wing invader claimed Democrats "want to pass 'hate speech' laws that would be contrary to the Bible" and that the judicial branch of the government "was never meant to be able to interpret the Constitution anyway." When people point how extreme these statements are, they get attacked.
In this Bizarro World that modern America has become, a respected newsman like Dan Rather who's been in the business for 50 years gets effectively bullied by right-wing bloggers and 'Net Nazis. Isn't that just the silliest thing you've ever heard of? It's kind of like, say, a draft-dodging chickenhawk like Bush attacking a heroic war veteran like Kerry for his war record.
If trash-talking blog clods who can barely write a coherent sentence can bully the entire mainstream media, who's safe? (The media was conservative enough to begin with, its own complaints of the "liberal media" notwithstanding.)
If it isn't too late to deprogram millions of Americans, how do we stop this crap from hap? For starters, an army of dissenters should be formed to invade conservative Internet forums, such as the comment sections for articles on Freak Republic's site. Furthermore, for each right-wing blog or so-called news site, a progressive site with similar features should be formed to counter it. We'd also like the authorities to keep an eye on sites like Freak Republic where conservatives constantly exchange advice on how to harass dissidents and sabotage elections. We've kept an eye on some of these sites lately, but remember, we can't do it alone.
Furthermore, since most of these blogs are RNC-funded, that makes them campaign ads, which requires them to reveal who paid for them - something they have failed to do.
We also have to keep asking Bush's impenetrably arrogant followers why he got more votes in one county in Texas than the number of people living there - a question his followers have refused to answer for 4 years.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To The Editor Of The Last Word:
When you talk about the way those people treated you and your magazine in '98-99, and sent forged copies and stuff like that, you sound like a wacked out conspiracy theorist. This is probably because every word you say is true, and that is how the other side actually likes to do things. I don't know WTF is wrong with people, but I got sick of dealing with little bastards and sons of bitches on the internet, so I am not going to appear on some of these web forums anymore. So they succeeded in silencing a voice for reason. I just don't care anymore.
To The Editor Of The Last Word:
What exactly are the limitations to free speech. I have been having a problem with someone for years. She made a web page about me. Giving my name and home address and e mail in that web page. Not only did she do that. She blatantly lied about my life. Wrote untrue and beyond crude remarks. I wouldn't have been so upset if it was just that, sure I could brush it off. But phone calls and letters began to come to me. My house and car outside my house were being egged. I took all this to a lawyer. But nothing could be done about it because she pretended to be me and wrote herself letters saying I would kill her and other just ridiculous things. I have no proof that it was her or her friends that egged my house and car and called me since the numbers were blocked. After it went to court it stopped. But still in your opinion is this OK free speech to do what she did? After all I did lose some respect from people after all that she had done, even though what she said was 100% true.
[Editor's note: Is it free speech? No.]
WHY THERE MAY BE HOPE
After the Bush/Cheney ticket got utterly demolished in 2 debates in 5 days, there may be SOME hope that the dictatorship will crumble on Election Day - not that Bush will pay any heed if he loses.
After the first debate between the 2 major party presidential candidates, a CNN poll of voters who saw the debate showed that 79% felt Kerry won it while only 18% thought the liar Dumbya won, while 4% felt it was a draw. (These figures do not add up to 100% because of rounding.)
After the debate between Edwards and Cheney, a poll in Republican-run Ohio showed 98% of viewers felt Edwards won, with only 2% for Cheney.
But don't hold your breath. If there's any way the Republicans can rig the election, they will.

Inside of a limit game, when two flush or straight playing cards are out, and one of several players would make a quick get in touch with, this generally indicates a draw. Around the flop, on the other hand, when just one participant makes an instantaneous raise, you could think that he incorporates a major pair.
When one particular of the opponents that you think about a weak player is having the perfect time to Imagine, he is really debating whether or not to simply call or fold.

An injured swan which was
abandoned when its herd migrated to Iceland in March has been reunited with
some of its former companions.
The whooper swan, named Hula,
damaged a wing and was unable to join the annual 2,000-mile round trip from
Frampton March Nature Reserve in Lincolnshire.
The cob has been waiting
patiently for the other birds to return, staff at the centre said.
"The lonely swan is lonely
no more," Chris Andrews, from the reserve, said.
"About 20 swans arrived back
from Iceland this week and are spending their days eating sugar beet tops in
nearby fields before returning to the reserve at night.
"Hula spotted two other
whoopers close to the reserve and went over to join them," he said.
"Since then he seems to have
spent a lot of time hanging out with them."
Mr Andrews said it is not known
if they are simply friends or potential mates.
Whooper swans - so named because
of the noise they make - migrate to breeding grounds in Iceland in the spring.
A group of up to 60 return to the reserve each year for winter.
Mr Andrews said the others are
expected to return over the next few days. | <urn:uuid:c51954f8-abdd-4369-b0f7-c0dcaefd757d> | {

Scientists at University of
Castilla-La Mancha’s Research Institute for Hunting Resources (IREC) made an
interesting discovery whilst studying camera trap footage, they found Griffon
Vultures feeding at night, the first time this has been documented.
Griffon Vultures are one of
Europe’s four species of vultures and can be found across southern Europe
surrounding the Mediterranean. Once widespread across its southern European
range the species became extinct in parts of the range and populations in the
east part of its Mediterranean range are currently small and fragmented.
Today around 90 percent of the
European population, between 20,000 and 30,000 breeding pairs, are found in
Spain, Portugal and France.
One such population in the
Cantabrian mountain range, in Spain’s Somiedo Natural Park was the focus of a
study into the feeding behaviour of Griffon Vultures by scientists from the
IREC using camera traps and published in a recent edition of the Ecology
journal (Mateo-Tomás, P. and Olea, P. P. (2018), Griffon Vultures scavenging at
night: trophic niche expansion to reduce intraspecific competition?. Ecology) | <urn:uuid:2b829f60-7de6-4479-aefb-25014aae6ac3> | {

Fox-hunting: Beyond the Propaganda
During a debate in the House of Commons, the Labour MP Kate Hoey held up this booklet and told fellow MPs (much to the astonishment of many on her side of the House) that they should read this before they came to any decision about whether to vote in favour or against a Private Member’s Bill to ban hunting with dogs. Having been raised on a farm in Northern Ireland, she had had first hand experience of the damage foxes can do to livestock.
The booklet was commissioned by Wildlife Network, an organisation set up by Jim Barrington. Jim had recently resigned as director of the League against Cruel Sports, having come to the conclusion that a complete ban on hunting could lead to greater cruelty, rather than less.
Fox Hunting: Beyond the Propaganda looks at the arguments for and against hunting. Wildlife Network exerted no editorial control, and invited me to come to my own conclusions. After talking to people on both sides of the debate I could see that the sort of measures advocated by Jim and his colleagues – including licensed hunting with tighter controls – offered the best way forward.
I wrote a companion to the fox hunting booklet, Hare Hunting: the Forgotten Field Sport, which was published the following year, in 1998. The Hunting Act outlawed hunting with dogs (with a few limited excpetions) in 2005. Its troubled history is explored in a book I wrote for the All-Party Parliamentary Middle Way Group, Rural Rites: Hunting and the Politics of Prejudice. | <urn:uuid:de484ef7-ba1b-4f2c-a3d8-06688c96c375> | {

I joined my first Instagram swap last month, a swap focusing on the paper pieced patterns by Kristy at Quiet play. I have made quite a few Quiet play patterns and they are so great. I have even made this sewing machine before, only a bit bigger :)
My partner wanted a rainbow sewing machine with a dark grey background and a bit of shine.
I hit the stash and made a rainbow. Seems like this should be easy, but it takes me forever to figure it out.
Anywho, what about that shine? I found a great Robert Kaufman that was the perfect shade of grey and had a silver sparkle. And then when I started to quilt, that Aurifil has such a nice sheen it was perfect!
On the backside I carried through with a blue from the machine on front and added some triangle corners for hanging. I turned one corner inside out to have a place to write a wee message to my swap partner.
My partner is not expecting this gem until the end of October. Cannot wait to send it off.
AND now for what you've really been waiting for, the winner of this awesome improv book from last week's post.
THE WINNER IS...
Jennifer from Little Black Cat Quilting
Thanks to everyone who dropped in last week, it was so much fun reading your comments and improv vs. patterns and seeing all of your finishes.
Now, what should I work on for next week? So many projects...
I'm linking up with TGIFF! this week, you should too!

So here I am. Wishing I had more time in my life. It must be something about me that makes me want to cram a weeks worth of work in a day. And still not want to do any of it.
This last weekend Steven, Lindsey, and I went up to Redding, CA. I had some friends there I haven’t met and wanted to meet them. So, I got them to throw us a bbq! it was an amazing trip, we went to Bethel church (Click here), walked around, saw the sundial bridge.
I love having an underwater camera. It makes for some intersting shots. Did you know that the Sacramento river is tempature regulated? It has something to do with where the water comes out of the dam and the salmon. All I know is that it’s flippin’ cold! I couldn’t feel my hand for 5 minutes after this shot.
Now for the fish tank – I guess my last few posts have been a little to focused on the fish. My Google ads have been a little heavy in that area. The tank is all set up, and just waiting for the “Biological Filter” to develop. Sounds fun? Some time next week I want to put a fish in. | <urn:uuid:b9de6cc6-9a49-4e03-8d15-79b5ce666c39> | {

A study of psychotropic drug prescribing, derived from the computerized pricing data in Northern Ireland from 1966, showed that the use of these drugs reached a peak in 1975, when about 12·5% of the adult population were estimated to have been receiving them, and declined in the following 5 years. Benzodioazepines accounted for three-quarters of all psychotropic drugs prescribed in 1980. Benzodiazepine tranquillizer prescribing was consistently 20–30% higher than in the rest of the United Kindom, in contrast to hypnotic and antidepressant prescribing which has been consistently lower. The rate of increase in benzodiazepine tranquillizer prescribing was greater than in other European countries, but the level remains lower than in Iceland and Denmark. The influence of a number of demographic and socioeconomic variables was studied in an intra-regional analysis of the 1978 data for the 17 health districts in the province, using multivariate and multiple regression statistics. The prescribing of benzodiazepine hypnotics was almost entirely accounted for by the proportion of elderly (over 65 years) and women aged 45–59 years; neuroleptic prescribing was largely a function of factors associated with rural areas (overcrowding and unemployment) and the proportion of elderly; but neither tranquillizer, antidepressant, barbiturate hypnotic nor psychostimulant prescribing were satisfactorily explained by these variables.

This is the kind of thing we like to read:
It has made me realise how much I have been conditioned to accept the relentless prioritising of motorised traffic and traffic flow above all else, even human life. I am beginning to see how often I am marginalised and inconvenienced by this both on and off the bike everyday.

So at the Albert last night (and tonight) there was (and is) a rock'n band. They are doing a rock-n-roll rock opera (not Oprah). And boy, was it a good show you just won't see anywhere else. Nobody does this.
They are touring Canada with their hilarity, which i guess they thought would be a good idea. The only problem is, who goes to see rock operas?
Well, YOU SHOULD! This is a truly funny (and rock'n) show, if you can check it out, do.
It is also stars Underground Comedy Anti-Hero Hugh Phukovsky. I have had the pleasure of working with Hugh Phukovsky before and it is a good to see him blow through town. Whenever you see his name on a poster, go see the show.

AIVITA Identifies Mechanism to Enhance Patient Response Rate to Next Generation Cancer Stem Cell Immunotherapy
Findings suggest a combination with checkpoint inhibitors will enhance response rate beyond 72% survival, and facilitate a new Phase 1B approval
IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — AIVITA Biomedical, Inc., a biotech company specializing in innovative stem cell applications, has previously reported a 72% 2-year survival rate and a 54% 5-year survival rate in patients treated with its cancer stem cell-targeting immunotherapy, ROOT OF CANCER. Today, AIVITA announced new data indicating that non-responders to its immunotherapy had, on average, 150,000 times more pre-existing PD-1 proteins in their bloodstreams than responders. These findings suggest a means to optimize patient inclusion criteria in AIVITA’s trials evaluating ROOT OF CANCER. Further, these findings indicate that the use of anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor drugs in combination with AIVITA’s cancer stem cell-targeting immunotherapy could improve outcomes in previously unresponsive patient populations.
PD-1 is a protein on the surface of cells which regulates the immune response and suppresses T cell inflammatory activity. PD-1 levels were monitored in cancer patient samples obtained in a randomized Phase 2 clinical trial by observing concentrations of a plasma biomarker consisting of soluble fragments of the PD-1 checkpoint protein that are shed by the patient’s T cells. The biomarker can be used to predict immune response to AIVITA’s personalized cancer immunotherapy.
“Exorbitantly high levels of PD-1 appear to be interfering with T cell activation in the non-responsive 28% of our treated patients,” said Dr. Gabriel Nistor, Chief Science Officer at AIVITA. “This suggests anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors could be used to counter this inhibiting effect, and allow our immunotherapy to work in patient populations that would otherwise be unresponsive.”
“These data underscore a natural partnership, in which a combination therapy would be greater than either of its parts,” said Dr. Hans Keirstead, CEO of AIVITA.
AIVITA has recently received IND clearance to begin a Phase 1B clinical trial testing this combination approach. AIVITA’s open-label, single-arm, phase 1B treatment study will establish safety and track efficacy of administering anti-PD1 monoclonal antibodies in combination with AIVITA’s cancer stem cell-targeting immunotherapy in patients with measurable metastatic melanoma.
About ROOT OF CANCER
AIVITA’s treatment is a platform technology applicable to most solid tumor types and consists of autologous dendritic cells loaded with autologous tumor antigens from purified autologous self-renewing tumor-initiating cells.
AIVITA’s ovarian Phase 2 double-blind study is active and enrolling approximately 99 patients who are being randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either the autologous cancer stem cell-targeting immunotherapy or autologous monocytes as a comparator.
Patients eligible for randomization and treatment will be those (1) who have undergone debulking surgery, (2) for whom a cell line has been established, (3) who have undergone leukapheresis from which sufficient monocytes were obtained, (4) have an ECOG performance grade of 0 or 1 (Karnofsky score of 70-100%), and (5) who have completed primary therapy.
For additional information about AIVITA’s AVOVA-1 trial patients can visit: www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02033616
AIVITA’s glioblastoma Phase 2 single-arm study is active and is enrolling approximately 55 patients to receive the cancer stem cell-targeting immunotherapy.
Patients eligible for treatment will be those (1) who have recovered from surgery such that they are about to begin concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy (CT/RT), (2) for whom an autologous tumor cell line has been established, (3) have a Karnofsky Performance Status of > 70 and (4) have undergone successful leukapheresis from which peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained that can be used to generate dendritic cells (DC).
For additional information about AIVITA’s AV-GBM-1 trial please visit: www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03400917
AIVITA’s melanoma Phase 1B open-label, single-arm study will establish the safety of administering anti-PD1 monoclonal antibodies in combination with the cancer stem cell-targeting immunotherapy in patients with measurable metastatic melanoma. The study will also track efficacy of the treatment for the estimated 14 to 20 patients.
Patients eligible for treatment will be those (1) for whom a cell line has been established, (2) who have undergone leukapheresis from which sufficient monocytes were obtained, (3) have an ECOG performance grade of 0 or 1 (Karnofsky score of 70-100%), (4) who have either never received treatment for metastatic melanoma or were previously treated with enzymatic inhibitors of the BRAF/MEK pathway because of BRAF600E/K mutations and (5) are about to initiate anti-PD1 monotherapy.

Today marks a truly pivotal time for me with this
endeavor. This is the first blog post I
get to write for my website about my Albion College Diabelli Squared
Thank you for visiting this site! I hope after reading this, you will strongly
consider submitting a variation to this project. Hopefully you have read the history and
genesis of my ideas, so now I’d like to talk to you about why I think this is
so crucial in our world today.
For me, the very essence of a variation symbolizes in
microcosm the struggles of our social world.
It makes me sad to see people discriminating against other human beings,
and it’s happening constantly.
Variations in a small way, heal these wounds. Their nature is to embrace all that is
constant and common between itself and its variation. Translation for society? We are all human. We are all deserving of dignity and
respect. Then, a variation transcends
these commonalities and completely embraces and empowers diversity of all
kinds. Translation for society? We must love and respect each other for our
uniqueness and our wonderfully diverse ideas.
It makes us grow.
Variations accomplish this so magically. By submitting a variation for this project,
your art will become part of a living, organic piece of music. My website will never end. There will always be more submissions, giving
me, the performer, the chance to present a new “version” of the Diabelli theme
all the time. Furthermore, I have had
the chance to commission nine (to this point) variations from persons around
I don’t have endless funds, and while I cannot compensate
you for your submission, I will play your music. I will champion you as a composer, where
you’re from, and I will give you space on this site to promote yourself beyond
the variation you submit. Please be part
of my Diabelli world. I hope to spread
kindness, compassion, art, music, and hopefully, joy, enrichment, and
understanding, throughout our planet through this virtual project.
All I ask of you is that you agree to let me perform and
record your work once it is submitted.
In return, you will be part of a large conglomerate of artists, all
striving to give a new and different voice to a two hundred year old
theme. Please embrace this history and
its future. I believe, in a small way,
that this can change our world for the good.
I am honored you have chosen to consider this important
work. I am grateful if you submit. If you do not have time, please consider
sharing my website with your colleagues and your students. I will play every work submitted as long as I
can read the score. I will love trying
to get to know you over time. And I
value you as a musician. Please submit
your variation to me by email ([email protected]),
and if you have any questions about this endeavor, do not hesitate to contact | <urn:uuid:d95eb84e-e03d-47f3-9c0f-da7d1b71dc94> | {

Branch parameters, languages and services can be selected from the options that were added in the central settings, but new items cannot be added on the branch level.
The values and settings of Missing clients, Tickets, Call signal, E-mail settings and SMS settings are already configured in the Central settings and these values can be modified / overridden in the branch, if necessary by unmarking the “Global configuration” check box and define the new value. Advertisements can be blocked or enabled on ticket dispensers and customer feedback units. The opening hour information can be presented on the ticket dispenser while the branch is closed – if the section is filled. Please use the Save button if necessary.
Each and every branch has a Services menu point where there is an option to limit the number of available printed tickets. To be able to perform this you need to enter the Maximum ticket parameters.
There are 3 types of reset types: Day end – Branch close – Manual reset. The Available ticket (pcs) value can be set. If this value is -1 the tickets follow the original rule. There is also a processed ticket counter.
Service functional parameters contains the Customer identification – which can be left Central based or can be set to Optional, Required or Disabled.
Similar to Branches in section 4.1. you can do modifications with the users in the particular branch that were originally added in the central settings, but also you can add further users for the local branch too and do the complete configuration as you can do in the Central settings (see section 1.2.).
User roles and languages can be either set here.
Logout-, Closing- and Status codes, Counter settings can be modified / overridden in the branch, if necessary. Automatic ticket transaction starting time also can be modified here by each user if the central setting is not acceptable.
The purpose of this setting is to organize the work in the branch in a very flexible way by selecting those clerks/counters that are able to handle all the services but depending on the size of the customer-flow per day the clerks/counters will be able to handle services on different priority levels.
First you can select the desired Matrix type: Service / counter or Service / clerk matrix.
At Mouse click behavior you can decide (out of several possibilities) what will be changed if you will click with your mouse.
Those can be Set the node’s priority circularly with the option to click and increase – Disable the selected node which only disables the selection – Set the node’s priority to 1 – 4 is only to set the desired values: highest priority 4, lowest priority: 1. You can also modify the whole raw or the whole column with the side options dedicated in the matrix.
Sort: You can sort your services in the matrix by Service ID / Service secondary name / Service name
On this page (Matrix type: Service / Clerk matrix) the local boss can set which clerk is able to handle which service(s). Number 4 shows that this service can be handled by that clerk on the highest level.
Here (Matrix type: Service / Counter__ __matrix) you can also organize which counter should handle which service generally and on priority.
“Generally” means if at every node you can see number 4 the counters may handle every service on the same priority level.
“On priority” means the work of the web counters are organized in a flexible way (please check the nodes at every counter and service on the above picture): Service 1 is handled at web counter 1, this counter is dedicated for Service 1 only. Counter 2 and 3 is set for the same purpose for Service 2 and 3. Counter 4 does all the Services on the same priority, but Counter 5 does Service 1 on the highest priority: 4, meaning if there will be customers waiting for Service 1, they will be called, Service 2 is handled on lower priority, meaning if there is no customer waiting for Service 1, Service 2 will be called, and similarly if there is no customer waiting for Service 1 and 2 Service 3 will be called. This flexible setting can be useful if Service 1 has 400 customers per day, Service 2 has 200 customers per day and Service 3 has 50 customers per day. Because Service 1 has the biggest number of customers Counter 6 is dedicated only for Service 1. This solution can be freely configured to achieve the best flexibility a branch customer flow might require.
Whatever was configured in the Central settings / General settings / Rules (see section 1.12 of this Manual) can be found here in the Branch level, because there you can configure the rules from branch to branch and the local branch manager can modify / fine tune the same in this section.
CRM answer is the value returned from the CRM system or customer database by the entered customer identifier (phone number, account number, social security number etc…). The rule system is using this value, to trigger the configured event (transfer client to certain client, raise priority etc..). | <urn:uuid:671ac7ec-5ed3-496b-b011-36a285ae5dca> | {

I never really know what my “best” work is, or if any of it is good to anyone other than me. (People keep letting me write things, so I suppose that’s a good sign.) I do, however, tend to like certain things I write more than others. Here’s a list of 10 pieces I wrote in 2017 that I liked the most.
Stranger in a Familiar Land
This is the only piece of fiction I published this year, about the delirious, exhilarating newness of living in a foreign country, and how quickly that feeling can erode. It’s, uh, totally not about my experience living in Korea or anything.
A Meditation on Ethics in MMA
I waxed philosophical on MMA, talking about sportsmanship, the unspoken ethics of trash talking, and how we’re supposed to process it all as fans. Plus, the opening sentence of this piece is probably the best sentence I’ve ever written.
The Other Side of Anything Can Happen
The UFC hit on something deep with their advertising angle that “anything can happen” in a fight; people want to be surprised. But “anything” can mean shitty things, too.
Nostalgia is a Hell of a Drug
There is a vocal, ever-present group of MMA fans bemoaning the state of the sport and how it has fallen from its previous peaks. That’s true in some ways, but the complete opposite is true – MMA is better than it’s ever been – in more significant ways.
The Cost of Combat
The death of Tim Hague brought to surface a number of important questions that we must ask ourselves as fans and patrons of violent entertainment. This was my attempt to reconcile the ethical dilemma of combat sports with their undeniable allure.
Since the first Ultimate Fighting Championship tournament, fighters from Hawaiʻi have been visible on the biggest stages of the sport. Hawaiʻi has been the most represented state in the history of the UFC, with 15 professional fighters for every one million residents. The next closest state — Iowa — registered about nine and a half per million people.
Why Hawaiʻi? What is it about the “Aloha State” — this small, unassuming archipelago nicknamed after the Hawaiian word for love, compassion and kindness — that lends itself so seamlessly to the most unabashedly violent sport in the world?
Man’s Best Reflection
A personal essay attempting to answer one of the oldest, most important questions known to man: why are dogs so good?
August, Summit Magazine
Seoul, From the Ground Up
It can feel helpless to be a citizen of Seoul. The shadow of international war looms menacingly overhead, yet the everyday stresses of living in a fast-paced, high-tech megacity tend to take precedent. Political tensions rise and fall, but life keeps marching on.
Almost yearly the conflicted nature of the word “violence” becomes a discussion in MMA circles. This year, the sport’s most visible media member, Ariel Helwani, took umbrage with the idea that the UFC promotes itself as violent. Personally, I think they should market the sport for what it is, and it is nakedly violent. It’s honest advertising, but more importantly I think people should be more aware of the violent intersections in all facets of life, and watching MMA might be a good way to do that.
Spooky Spooky: A Definitive Timeline
If you haven’t heard of or watched the Spooky Spooky videos, there’s something wrong with you. If you have watched them and you haven’t read my exhaustive, in-depth analyses of them, you’re missing out on worlds. There’s levels to infectiously catchy, seasonally-themed kids songs.
Much appreciation to everyone who took time to read my work this year. It means everything. Special shoutout to those who contacted me through the site; I’ve enjoyed the correspondences, even the ones heavily laden with curses. Bigger and better things are in store for 2018. | <urn:uuid:e03dc830-65c0-4895-ba5c-71319bd1e214> | {

The rugged, picturesque region made up of the northern parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland is described by visitors as magical, and for good reason. It has the cleanest air in Europe, countless possible outdoor winter adventures and is the real hometown of Santa Claus with his magical Christmas village. For visitors hoping to catch some beautiful scenery and landscapes on their trip, you’re in luck: Lapland has some of the very best.
What can you see?
Lapland is in the wild north, full of rugged natural terrain and mystery. The region is filled with untouched forests blanketed by snow in the wintertime, sparsely populated so you’ll feel you have all of nature to yourself. There aren’t any soaring mountains in Finnish Lapland, but the flat stretches of forest make for good hiking and trekking all the same. You will find many gentle, rounded fells or treeless mountains ideal for sledding and snow sports.
The Lapland landscapes are full of opportunities for outdoor adventures. There are several national parks with good hiking trails and cozy log cabins for visitors to stay. No matter where you stay, count on amazing views and the restful peace of nature.
How best to see Lapland?
Trekking is a great way to experience the vast beauty of Lapland as you can really take in the peace of nature. If you’d like to cover more ground quickly, opt for a reindeer sleigh ride. It’s a perfect way to get in the winter or Christmas spirit and see the land with an experienced guide. Another traditional way to get around is by husky sled. You can learn about these amazing dogs and even drive the sled yourself.
If water if more your thing, try exploring the gorgeous Lapland landscapes by canoe, raft or kayak. There are tons of lakes and rivers criss-crossing the region and you can opt for a guided trip or even just renting a boat on your own. Whether you’d prefer a calm journey or the adrenaline rush of whitewater rafting, there’s something to be had for everyone in Lapland.
If you really want to immerse in the snowy landscape, try Nordic walking, or cross-country skiing. It’s a fantastic way to get exercise and spend a day in the snowy forests soaking up the beauty of the region. | <urn:uuid:ee6157b6-363d-4f28-b3e3-ff1bad522967> | {

The City of Boston joined Revere and Somerville in filing a lawsuit against the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) in Suffolk Superior Court asking the court to vacate the license agreement given to Wynn in Everett by the MGC last November.
A cornerstone to the argument is the impacts on Charlestown.
The 74-page filing by Boston brought up issues ranging from the problematic land ownership situation in Everett, casino site access, traffic in Charlestown, what was referred to as “mock hearing” two years ago on Boston’s Host Community status and many other issues going back to the beginning of the entire process involving Wynn.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said he has been working diligently with Wynn to negotiate a fair agreement that benefits the people of Boston, but has been unable to reach an agreement that accurately represents the impact to the City.
“We have spent an enormous amount of time and sustained effort on the casino issue over the past year since this is something that impacts every single one of our residents,” Walsh said at a press conference Monday that announced the filing. “We have understood from day one the complexity of this issue as it relates to the City and it has always been our belief that Boston is a host community. Our priority is to protect the people of Boston and ensure the safety of our neighborhoods. It is clear to us that this is the best way to move forward for Charlestown, the City of Boston and the entire Commonwealth.”
Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria said he had hoped things could have been worked out without litigation from Boston and other communities.
“I was hoping we could work collaboratively with the City of Boston, the City of Everett and the City of Somerville…[Boston] should have participated in the surrounding community process and they didn’t. I know Mr. Wynn went up to see Mayor Walsh. I know the group had tried to meet with them several times. I don’t understand it…We weren’t asked when the City of Boston put their waste facility right on our border. I didn’t protest when Somerville put an IKEA in Assembly Row. We know what that does to small business…I am hoping we can all sit down together and solve the issues and talk about them.”
Asked if it was just sour grapes, DeMaria paused and said, maybe.
“For a long time Suffolk Downs was a favorite,” he said. “A lot of big Boston people were behind it. I went to the meetings there and saw the plans with the other mayors. To have someone else come in and compete with them in the region; yes they are disappointed. Maybe it is sour grapes from one of the mayors or maybe both of them.”
Wynn officials and the MGC, however, have repeatedly told a different version of the events – noting that they tried to sit down with Walsh several times before the awarding of the license, but he did not show up or contact them.
Wynn officials told that to the MGC numerous times during deliberations last November, prompting the MGC to work out special provisions to benefit Charlestown and the traffic situation in Charlestown just prior to awarding the casino license.
On Monday, the MGC said it hadn’t read the full complaint, but had addressed issues raised at the press conference numerous times already.
“During the past year, we have addressed the issues the City raised at [Monday’s] press conference – multiple times in a public and transparent manner,” said MGC Spokesperson Elaine Driscoll. “The Commission believes that we have reviewed these issues thoroughly, objectively and fairly, and that exhaustive review helped lead to the decision to award the Wynn license with appropriate conditions. The Commission continues to believe that our resolution was appropriate but also fully understand that parties who are disappointed in our decisions may want to test that belief through litigation.”
The City of Revere filed a lawsuit in October shortly after the awarding of the license, calling for the licensing decision to be vacated. Revere has filed numerous briefs and letters in the interim on that case. The City of Somerville just filed a lawsuit last month on nearly the same terms.
One of the issues raised by Walsh was the issue of access to the casino site, which was raised two years ago and dismissed by the MGC after a two-hour hearing.
Boston believes there is no access point to the casino except by Horizon Way, which is halfway in Everett and halfway in Boston.
Meanwhile, Wynn has been in the process of negotiating an alternate access site that is entirely in Everett and runs through the MBTA Maintenance Yard facility property.
That land sale is still in the works of the state procurement process, and Wynn has an agreement to buy the land for $6 million cash from the MBTA. That process began with the MBTA in September, and has been protested by owners of Suffolk Downs and by the City of Revere.
Securing that site has been a key piece of the puzzle for Wynn in preventing Boston from claiming host status. In Monday’s suit, Boston claimed that the process of securing that land hadn’t happened quickly enough.
“Wynn has planned to develop a casino on a parcel of land located in Everett and in Boston known as the former Monsanto Chemical Site,” read the filing. “Due to the location of the casino site, the City of Boston will bear the lion’s share of the traffic, environmental, and public safety harms. Wynn disputed that access to its site would be through Boston, promising the Commission that it would obtain access through adjacent property in Everett owned by the MTBA. Wynn, however, has failed to obtain access through Everett within 60 days of the award of the license – as required by law – leaving the sole access to the site through Boston.”
The filing also criticized the hearing that was held by the MGC two years ago relating to the Host Community claim held by Boston due to the Horizon’s Way access issue.
MGC Commissioners heard both sides of the argument, and in the end dismissed the argument wholeheartedly and asked Boston and Wynn to go back and work out differences offline. That didn’t happen, though, and Boston was eventually deemed a Surrounding Community rather than a Host Community. A Surrounding Community Agreement (SCA) was never inked between Wynn and Boston, though.
On Monday, Boston said it was re-inserting its right to be a Host Community – calling the MGC hearing on the issue a “manipulation” and a “mock hearing.”
“Fearful that Boston voters would reject Wynn’s proposal due to public safety and traffic concerns, the Commission improperly barred Boston’s citizens from exercising their statutory right to vote,” read the complaint. “During the gaming licensing process, Boston repeatedly asserted that it was a host community, which prompted the Commission to conduct a hearing to determine Boston’s legal status. The Commission manipulated the outcome of the hearing by withholding documents from the City that had direct bearing on Boston’s host community status, advocating on behalf of Wynn, and deliberating and predetermining the outcome outside the public hearing context, in violation of the Open Meeting Law and the Gaming Act. As a result of the mock hearing, the Commission rejected Boston’s assertion of host community status and declared Boston to be merely a surrounding community, with no right to vote. During the hearing, the City challenged the validity of Wynn’s application on the grounds that Wynn did not have a viable site for its casino and was legally unsuitable under the Gaming Act. Absent a viable casino site, Wynn’s application could not proceed and the issue of Boston’s status as a host community was moot.”
Boston bases most of that argument on the idea that the land deal in Everett is fraudulent and, thus, does not give Wynn and actual gaming establishment – as required by the Gaming Law.
Another cornerstone of the Boston complaint on Monday were flaws in the MGC’s protections instituted for Charlestown. The complaint said the City concluded those protections were not adequate.
The complaint read that by going ahead with the Wynn planned casino, it would create an “intolerable traffic crisis” in Charlestown.
The suit will now wind its way through Suffolk Superior Court, as are the other two similar suits from Revere and Somerville. | <urn:uuid:feb9b808-a95e-4eba-acf5-40ae2df12536> | {

A month after a report surfaced that Ryan Reynolds was the frontrunner to star in Highlander, The Tracking Board confirms that the once and future Deadpool apparently will pick up the sword for the Summit Entertainment remake.
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) is directing the new take on the 1986 fantasy action film, which starred Christopher Lambert as an immortal swordsman who battles other warriors like him through the centuries — because, you know, “there can be only one.” Highlander became a full-fledged franchise, with sequels, a live-action television series, cartoons, novels and comic books.
Few details have been released about the screenplay, by Matt Holloway and Art Marcum, so it’s unknown whether Reynolds will resurrect Connor MacLeod or Duncan MacLeod (the characters played by Lambert in the films and Adrian Paul in the TV series), or whether he’ll portray another immortal.
Reynolds rebounded from 2011′s Green Lantern with a role opposite Denzel Washington in the action thriller Safe House. He’ll next be seen in Universal’s R.I.P.D., an action-comedy based on the Dark Horse comics series.

It's Thursday-- 5 days removed from the shows at the Warfield in San Francisco this past weekend, enough room between to breathe and reflect.
I found myself so spent after this weekend—even caught a low-grade flu-ish bug yesterday. So much anticipation, the build-up, I was like a kid at Christmas time. I guess it's inevitable to have a denoument after the moment arrives.
The highlight of the weekend was getting together with on-line friends, transforming them from ASCII characters into flesh-and-blood brothers and sisters. As I got to the theater around 2:30, Anne (AYESMAMA) and Scott from San Diego (the doctor, I assume!) had already arrived, as well as a few others. I left at 3:30 for a pre-arranged meeting with on-line friends.
Djp (David) and his wife Mary, Brad (BS) Carpenter and wife Karen (in from Kalamazoo, Michigan!), and new recruit Terrence and friend Grace, as well as myself, met at a nice little Brazilian place pre-show. We fan-boys exchanged glory stories, while our female counterparts, fans but not fanatics, looked on bemusedly. We noshed on feijoada, churrasco, and a tuna melt for starving Karen (no pun intended), washed down by several Portuguese and Mexican beers (coffee for Grace). Really wonderful people—we were all touched by our cameraderie, old friends meeting for the first time.
At 5:30 we sloshed on down to the line a block away. Djp and Mary, and Brad and Karen had reserved seats, and went to relax a bit before the show. I hung in line with new friends Tim and Chris from a local audio company, and got to meet Roxi (blessings!) and her partner Michael. The attitude was high and festive as we traded stories, eyes wide like children. My brother George and his partner Heidi and her mom Pat arrived from 2 hours to the north, and when doors opened at 7 we grabbed a table at center stage for 6, as Terrence and Grace joined us.
Showtime!! Started right at 8, strains of Firebird pumping us—and off we go!! The set-up of the Warfield was a bit different from the last shows—they had removed the lower tier of tables, so people were standing just in front of us, where before they had been seated (and you could see over them). After being asked a few times by a friendly usher to SIT MY ASS DOWN, I had to go to the floor after Homeworld. After a bit more shuffling, I got to stand next to an aisle, finally enough space to physically experience the music (or 'rock out,' as some would say.)
Impressions: Alan was VERY VERY ON. His tempos (tempi? Tempe? tempeh?) were rock solid. People have been commenting on the 'slowness' of YIND, but the original (TYA) version is a bit slower than it's been played live over the years. Homeworld was FANTASTIC—I turned to Terrence after it, and said—Can you believe they've only played 2 songs so far?! Chris, thru the night, was also very controlled, no slop that I could see. I wanted to hear more though—the pedals came thru well, but his guitars didn't cut thru as much. Overall the mix was quite good, perhaps not quite as good as the last time they were here. This was definitely Alan's night, if I had to choose an MVP.
The main highlight was Awaken, but a close second was HEARTS!! I couldn't believe how much punch this had!! Billy was poised and confident thru the night, and his vocals were superb. More power to the Next Generation! For Awaken, I couldn't get my eyes off Chris—seeing him wield that triple-neck with such grace—wow, I'm glad I got to see it a second night so I could watch what else was going on! The 'Master of Images' section was so profound—so profound. I'm still getting the JAMS just thinking about it. This is my absolute favorite moment in all of Yes' music—it's like I feel the power of God, of all that is good and right in life, coursing thru me, a thousand million volts of lifepower, flowing down to my core, back to my heart and out the top of my head. At the conclusion I turned around, to my brother who was, yes
Show was excellent as expected. Quite a small venue - which I think made Yes sound very 'heavy' at times. Met up with Brian (Neeson) and had few beers before the show.
We were standing right down the front - bloody brilliant !
Awaken was a highlght for me. The songs off ' the Ladder' (six in all) stood up well amidst the old stuff.
They came on and broke into a very loud version of 'Yours is no disgrace" - what can I say !!!
The second night at the Warfield was by far the better of the two shows.
From the beginning of the show, Jon Anderson's voice seemed odd, not strained, but wasn't quite "on". After the first few tunes, he said, "I'm coming down with the flu, so if you want to sing along, feel free." Then during the next song, Chris turns to Jon and says, "Your mike's cutting out." Jon left the stage and came back with a wired mike and guess what, his voice was perfect! I found that humorous.
Ok, the show itself. The setlist was, once again, the same as the House of Blues shows. While during yesterday's show I was in front of Steve, this time I purposely stood in front of Jon so I could see Igor. As a bonus, I was able to watch Alan for probably the first time ever--it's strange, I hadn't really had a visual presence of Alan at any show except for the Union tour, and it was neat to watch him go.
Igor, my man! Sensational, no more comparisons of him to any other keyboard player. He *is* Yes' keyboard player. Awaken was pulled off amazingly well by this man--he's also become quite a showman. The next thing we know he'll be donning a cape and an aluminum foil suit--oh wait, shhhhh! that's comparing him to another player.
Steve, what can I say about him--great as always, although I would have liked to have seen him solo. No matter, he seems to be singing a lot less these days, as well. His playing, as always, is impeccable, and this show, he didn't seem to be having the problems he had yesterday.
Chris? Oh, Chris, thank you *so* much for not wearing the black spandex manhood-showing pants this year. THREE NECKS! No wonder he's been in better shape the past few years--that bass has to weigh a ton. You know the little finger thing he does when he points to a string with a loop and then plucks it? During Nine Voices he did that, although he wasn't wearing his bass--he pointed both hands at the bass pedal as he played it. Truly a classic Chris moment.
Jon! I have to say that his wife has brought him down to earth quite a bit. Instead of talking about mysticism in everything right down to the tiles on the floor, he now talks about his wife, and the beauty he's found in his life as a result of her being in it. This is not a bad thing--Jon's voice is still as crisp and solid as it's ever been. In fact, I was commenting about this to a friend the other day--is it me, or does Jon's voice sound purer now, at 55, than it did when he was 25?
All in all an amazing show--an amazing two shows. One more thing I do have to comment on, however, and that's the drug use at the shows.
Ok, it's a fact of life of being a Yesfan, I totally understand this. However, at both of these shows, there were people who overdid it. At yesterday's show, the guy in front of me staggered and almost fell over onto me. Tonight, a young woman fell onto the floor, and we all thought she had passed out. When I looked down, she had gone into convulsions. During Owner of a Lonely Heart, her and her friends made their way out of the auditorium. Before this happened, however, they were causing problems in the audience in front of the stage, they were more interested in having their little group hug and pushing/shoving everyone around them than they were in Yes. It's sad to say, but we were glad when they finally left due to her "problem". My point is FINE, I understand if you feel that you must alter your mental state to the point of barely remembering the show the next day, but MUST affect everyone around you in the process? It's bad enough having to endure the smoke around me, but to have a distraction to the point of not being able to enjoy the show, it's gotten a bit out of hand.
OK, off the soapbox. At the end of the show, Jon said he'd see us again in the year 2000, so hopefully they'll make their way back around like they did in 97/98!
If Saturday was a solid B, tonight was an B+/A-. The crowd was lots more spirited and festive and the band immediately keyed on it, especially Steve who turned in a markedly better performance. Still no smiles but you just *know* when Steve's having a good night by his playing and body language.
Same setlist and, contrary to what some have said about the L.A. shows, I thought the sound here was terrific, at least for the Warfield which is a house better suited for rocking than for perfect acoustics. I was amazed at the amount of chain-dope smoking taking place all around me (I was in the pit, in front of Billy) though thankfully the spastic-wasted-ogre quotient was very low.
--Jon's vocals clipped out in a few spots through the first two songs. Afterwards, he asked forgiveness for "croaking" through the show as he suspected a flu bug coming on. Before the break in PC, Jon's vocals became rapidly flaky and Chris jumped over and told him to get a new microphone. He returned with a corded one and finished the song fine, after which he was breathing a sigh of relief, thinking it was *him* that was going buggy, not the mike!
--The roar at the end of And You And I was deafening and sustained. --Awaken was even more powerful tonight. Unbelievable.
--During the drum break in Owner, Steve watched in amazement as Igor polished off half a bottle of beer! As the foam slid down, Steve just stood there, shaking his head.
--Saw Mike Tiano of Notes From The Edge there (the man is hard-core! He's doing 6 shows!). I asked him about the "Phone your radio station" push and he says that it's the band's idea and that they've wanted to do it for some time but have only just now gotten them the list of stations. I mentioned that only 2 California stations are listed and he said to e-mail them with suggestions for others. We bemoaned the sad state of radio today. He also said that Australia and the Far East are *not* definite yet but that a Spring or Summer 2000 return to the U.S. is likely. | <urn:uuid:30964c73-3aff-4fcd-9c8d-9f4689a5e46a> | {

Fruitsticker.de is an independent, private, non-commercial and add-free website for people interested in fruitstickers.
The purpose of this site is to present my collection, to make contact with other collectors and to trade fruitstickers.
I'm collecting these small colorful stickers ever since my days in school with only a few minor breaks.
By searching the Internet for fruitsticker-related websites, I realized that there are a lot of people sharing this hobby.
Because of that and to learn a little bit about designing and programming of websites, in spring 2006 I decided to create this website and bring it on-line.
This site is based on a ready-to-use Image Gallery Management System, which is free of license fees for private usage.
Despite of that, it took almost half a year to implement all desired add-on functions and to do the graphic design of the site.
I wish to thank all people supporting me doing the job. Speaking for myself all the efforts clearly paid off.
I would like all visitors to have a lot of fun moving around this website and
I'm hopefully looking forward to receive a lot of emails with trade-request from other collectors all around the world.
At the end an urgent request to all visitors of this site:
Please read the FAQ-page carefully before emailing any questions regarding the content or usage of this website! | <urn:uuid:d57efd95-7772-464c-93bd-da0a9af687e2> | {

What do you think of Getxo?
Find out what some influencers think of Getxo!
“I love Getxo because it has the sea and the mountains close at hand. I love to go to have a drink and a bite in the Old Port, that is a very beautiful spot. The skatepark has been very important to me. I spent a lot of time there as I was growing and it is where I discovered surfing. This part of Getxo is very symbolic in my life."
Sisters and the City
"It was love at first sight between Getxo and Sisters and the City. Five neighbourhoods of great architectural beauty and different atmospheres. It is a real pleasure to spend time discovering its beaches, strolling along its streets with its elegant mansions, enjoying a good meal, walking along its dramatic clifftops, and ending up in its delightful shops. The perfect spot for a getaway. Don’t forget to have a kalimotxo [red wine & coke] in Algorta’s Old Port, where, as the story goes. it was invented. That sparkling drink is part of our culture and is one of our favourites."
Composer and Goya Prize Winner
“Since I was a child, I have been lucky enough to enjoy lots of cultural events that have helped me to become who I am today. Muxikebarri is one of my favourite areas of Getxo and where you can enjoy first-class music. It is a magical place brimming with excitement and dreams. Getxo combines the best of a city and a small town, as it hosts famous festivals in a welcoming and lively setting.”
Pipper on tour
“The charter town is a perfect place to live: packed with green areas and beautiful mansions and houses built by the gentry a century ago. One of my favourite buildings is the Castaways House and Lighthouse of Arriluze, on the Arriluze Dock.”
“What I think stands out about Gexto are its beaches and its cliffs. In summer, I love to enjoy the sunsets from Azkorri beach with my friends. Las Paellas is one of the best events in Getxo. It is an international paella competition held in Aixerrota. Hundreds of groups of friends take part to compete for the Best Paella.”
“My favorite place in Getxo is the Paseo de Zugatzarte, I love it. It has a lot of meaning for me, because I have lived here since I was born. I have pleasant memories of being with my parents and siblings walking to the Old Port every day.”
Borja Hernández Urrutxurtu
Entrepreneur, designer and artisan pleater
“Whenever I am visited by a friend coming to Getxo for the very first time, I always recommend three must-see outings: the wonderful promenade along Ereaga Beach, the breath-taking Bizkaia Bridge, which I think you simply have to see, and the stunning cliffs at La Galea because they provide some unbeatable vantage points and views.”
Chef and Winner of MasterChef Senior 2
“I’ve been passionate about cooking ever since I was a child. My favourite places in Getxo … I love the Old Port - Puerto Viejo, I think it is one of the prettiest spots to visit because it has a certain charm that other places can’t match. I also like going for a walk on the beach in Las Arenas; hardly anyone used to come here, but now it’s very clean, the water has also improved.”
“Ereaga is one of my favourite places in Getxo. I come here to see and listen to the sea and to watch the sunsets. I have spent a lot of time in Ereaga since coming here as a child with my parents. We used to enjoy bites to eat, they used to have beers at the local establishments dotted around and we used to catch the waves at high tide. We come these days to listen to live music in the local venues in Getxo. And, for sure, Ereaga, is where I come the most whenever here.
“The mythological thriller La Cueva de Mari is set in my hometown, Getxo, with a special focus on Azkorri due to its perfect setting for a shocking scenario. The San Nicolás Library holds a special significance for me as it is where some of my stories came to life. My daughter's first steps on the Ereaga promenade is a cherished memory of mine, with the waves crashing in the background and the scent of sea salt in the air. Getxo offers the perfect combination of urban conveniences and small-town charm, providing a blend of city living and quaintness that is truly unique.”
International freelance photographer
"I have many favourite places in Getxo. For example, I love the Avenida Basagoiti. A backbone that runs from Neguri all the way to Algorta. You can walk around and socialise with people. There are bars and shops, where you meet and hug everyone. The hallway of one of those big palaces in Getxo, Punta Begoña, is currently being renovated to hold concerts and festivals there in the future. Getxophoto, the international photography festival will also be held there, which is great news. So, I am particularly enthusiastic about this place.”

Cellulite and Local Obesity Treatment
Cellulite is one of the most common reasons for women (and some men) for complaining about their body beauty. More than 80 percent of women and 20 percent of men have cellulite. Cellulite is a part of skin structure and there is nothing you could do to amend it. It is a fact that the reason for creation of cellulite is out of your control. Most of people do believe that cellulite is an obesity problem and could be solved via diet and exercise, but in case of cellulite, the extra fat is not the only problem. Cellulite is a structural problem under the skin and the fact that how much you keep to your diet or how much you exercise has no effect on its treatment.
Cellulite creation factors
Three structural problems may cause cellulite. The first factor is the connective tissue bands under the skin around fat cells which can be hard and inelastic. The second one, the big fat packages being stuck by solid, strong bands putting pressure on the skin. And the third reason is the thin skin which apparently aggravates cellulite appearance.
Cellulite treatment using Exilis device
Using Exilis device for cellulite treatment is a noninvasive method approved by the FDA. This method takes advantage of radio frequency energy and works effectively on reduction of body fats, improvement of skin elasticity (fixing looseness and sagging skin) and reduction of undesirable cellulite appearance.
Till now, liposuction was the only way to reduce the fat volume on body (besides diet and exercise). In practice, there is a need to cut the body in this method and therefore a recovery time is inevitable. Nowadays there are several devices available that make use of radio frequency lonely or along with other forms of energy to treat cellulite, but none gives a highly desirable result. The reason behind it is that fat cells are clustered in body such that these clusters are kept as a connected network and there was no way other that liposuction to remove them. Exilis however, uses the energy of redio frequency to heat the deeper tissues and so increases the metabolism of the fat cells and minifies them. One of the most important features of this device in addition to removing local obesity, is its ability to tighten the skin in that area.
The proposed treatment program using Exilis is generally 4 to 6 sessions which are arranged once every two weeks. Number of sessions that would suit an individual is dependent on circumstances and the area on which, the treatment is to be done, and also the fact that what result would one expect. Treatment via Exilis is a slow method (since rebuilding of the collagen structure) and might take 2 to 4 months for the treatment to show its most effects. But patient satisfactions rate is high however, since after 4 sessions of treatment fortnightly, the patient can experience a size reduction of 4 to 15 centimeters by losing a volume of fat.
Advantages of Exilis
This method is studied in clinical researches and proved to be totally safe and effective and also has no side effects. Some of the advantages of using this method includes:
- No pain
- No need to any recovery time
- No need to anesthesia, numbing cream or other care
- Short sessions of treatment
- Progressive results
- Suitable for treating all parts of the body (fats around waist, breasts, face, double chin, neckline, arms, legs, hips and knees)
Removing fat using lipomatic device
Lipomatic is newest device in the world, created to remove local fats (lipolysis). The device is based on a unique technology named Nutational Infrasonic Liposculpture. Using compressed air in this method, the canola will move in three spatial directions and by a nutational movement in the closed space, infrasonic waves will be produced and vibrated. Incorporating infrasonic waves with frequency less than 20 hertz, makes the lipomatic device the most harmless method of removing local fats in the world.
Vibration of infrasonic waves removes the fat cells from their location and unlike the ultrasonic waves, which were used before for fat drainage, this method does not cause heat and burn at the entrance point of canola, tissue necrosis, rupture and perforation of the viscera.
- Removing local fats from every part of the body, including double chin, neck, knees, shins and etc.
- Removing fat from those parts suffered from fibrosis and adhesion because of former invasive and unsuccessful treatments of fat drainage
- Removing abdominal fat without any need to abdominoplasty and removing the navel
- Removing fat from people who cannot undergo general anesthesia
- Removing fat from tissue suffering from cellulite
- Using infrasonic waves to remove fat
- Equipped with density-sensitive security system
- No pain because of thymosin homogeneous solution injection
- Increasing surgery speed
- No need to general anesthesia
- Less embolic risk
- Fast gathering of the skin and no looseness and sagging skin effect
- No need to stitching
- Less infection risk
- Having the latest valid certifications of the world, including ISO, CE, KFDA, FDA | <urn:uuid:eabdbbbb-7913-4512-a8a8-cbcb3b82179e> | {

Why you may ask do I know so much about Tylertown, MS. Well allow me to tell you the story.
I should begin by letting you know that I work for the most wonderful employer on the face of the earth. Yes, there are days I am as angry as anybody else at that no good boss of mine, but the reality of the matter, those days aside, is that he is a kind, giving Godly man who blesses everyone he comes in contact with.
This morning he comes into my office and says, "Joan and I have decided we need to get involved in the relief effort." So I get on the internet and begin my work. Healing Hands international is doing nothing. Manna International is doing nothing. Whites Ferry Road is doing something, but the info is very sketchy as to WHAT they are doing. I send an email and wait, but get no response from the Whites Ferry Road church.
While waiting the radio I am listening to says, if you can mobilize a truck, just brong water. Don't send cash, just bring water. So knowing we are a construction company I went to advise Justin, my boss, that we should fill a pickup with water and drive south.
As I come in he tells me that Darryl, one of our drivers, has family in Tylertown, MS. Their family has 20 people from throughout the area all under one roof with no food and little water. The generator is about out of fuel we are warned.
Over the next hour we are in contact with the Sherriff in Tylertown, the family and some others who can help distribute if we can get food and supplies to the people of this small town. I spent the rest of my day in one the most exhausting days I have ever had of work. I had to procure the supplies to fill 2 large trucks, A 26ft and a 14ft, to meet the needs of this town of 1000 people.
I purchased 140 cans of propane from Dicks Sporting Goods, they gave us 10% Off.
I purchased 50lbs of Dry Ice from the Schaumburg Dairy Queen, they threw in an extra 50 lbs.
I purchased $200 in Baby Food from Walmart. They did nothing kind at all, and were actually hard to work with, but whatever.
I purchased 720 Gallons of Bottled Water from Hinkley Springs at a great "Emergency Water" price.
I, along with Debbie from Costco in Bloomingdale, who had to be the most helpful person I worked with allday, assembled a many, many thousand dollar order of 10 pallets worth of toilitries, food, medicine, and baby items. Costco also gave an additional pallett of bottled water.
While I was procurring all the supplies, my boss picked up chainsaws, fuel tanks, and other needs for debris removal in town. We got a GREAT deal from the Penske dealer in Des Plaines on the 26ft truck.
Finally at about 9:00 tonight it had all come together and our 2 drivers were ready to hit the road.
I am so thankful to work for a man who would devote himself and 2 other employees entire day today. As well as devoting two employee drivers tommorow, to committ to meeting the basic needs of a small town. It has been a long hard day, but may God be honored through the sacrifice of this great man, and business I have the pleasure of working for. | <urn:uuid:c484163a-9d9d-4102-a81b-c57f637a4a49> | {

Compared to traditional casino games, slots are different in many ways. While slot machines do not allow players to lose their money, they still require strategies to help them enjoy the game and win. This is especially true when it comes to playing online. However, even if you do not have much experience with gambling, you can easily learn how to play and use strategies to increase your chances of winning. Some of the most popular strategies include playing on the “hold” feature, which allows you to spin the reels repeatedly to create more winning combinations. This technique can also lead to bigger payouts.
Pragmatic Play has a very diverse collection of slots, including both classic and video versions. Their titles share some traditional characteristics, including three-reel formats, a few paylines, and fruit symbols. Their games can be played free or with a deposit, and they offer a demo mode. They also advertise their games through several channels, including streaming. These efforts, along with their extensive game portfolio, have helped Pragmatic become a popular choice for many players. They also have a number of hits that are highly rated by players.
Pragmatic Play offers many free slot demos, which are available to players without signing up. Some of the most popular slots, like Golden Lotus, have progressive jackpots. They can be generated at any time. They also have a hold&spin feature, which allows players to spin the reels repeatedly. If a special symbol lands during this feature, they may be awarded credits. These credits can be used to build additional winning combinations. Some Pragmatic Play slots have fixed jackpots.
Betsoft has a large portfolio of games, with over 150 titles. The majority of their slots are three-reel, although some of their games have a hold&spin feature. They have a lot of popular slots, and they often have a high RTP. The company has also developed a reputation for their popular video slots.
Onetouch is another iGaming provider that offers a variety of games. It has a resmi license and international authorization. The site has a fast and easy deposit process, and they are very professional. They also offer a large selection of features and bonuses. Their slot machine software is licensed by Real Time Gaming.
The onetouch slot has some very popular games, such as Bubbles Bonanza, Lucky Lion, and Queens of Glory. It also has an extremely high RTP, and it’s compatible with all types of platforms. It has a unique feature, the 7 monkey, which uses a seven-payline format. This is a fun, unique game, and it’s a great option for anyone looking to get their gaming fix.
Pragmatic Play has a reputation for offering striking graphics, and their slot machines have a three-dimensional feel. In addition, they offer a demo mode and a battery-saving feature. They also offer sound effects and quick spins. These features are particularly useful for players who are on the go, and they are a good way to get a taste of a game before committing to a full deposit. | <urn:uuid:dc140a24-f283-4479-b338-93dac9d65105> | {

I fully recognize this is the reason why rules and the ancestor axis, etc.
are not a part of the XQuery language. This, however, does not address my
If it's basically true that
XQuery = XSLT - templateRules - nonAbbreviatedXPathAxes %datatypes
as you seem to acknowledge, then it should be defined that way!
If a subset of XPath or XSLT is necessary in order for query implementations
to work, that's fine; define the subset.
The Quilt/XQuery authors clearly put a great deal of work into defining the
query constructs, words, syntax, etc. of XQuery. With all due respect, that
work has already been done in a rather large subset of XSLT, again modulo
Again, my point is that the transformation language and the query language,
if they are not the same thing, should build from a common semantic and
Section 2.11 of the XSLT 2.0 Requirements WD states that XSLT 2.0 "Could
Improve Efficiency of Transformations on Large Documents," specifically
addressing the possibility of defining a subset of XPath "that does not
require random access to the source tree." This would basically be
XQL/XQuery's path language (without perhaps the requirement that expressions
be abbreviated). I just discovered this section, and I think *it* should be
the germ of the W3C XML Query Language, fully informed by the work of the
XML Query WG on the query algebra. I feel quite strongly that there is a
better way than to define an entirely new syntax and semantics, when so much
of what is needed is already found in XSLT or is slated for a future version
This passage right here should be the germ of the XML Query Language syntax.
I hope that what comes out of it will make the XQuery Working Draft
obsolete, for the good of the people who would benefit from the reuse of W3C
technology where reuse is absolutely appropriate.
2.11 Could Improve Efficiency of Transformations on Large Documents
Many useful transformations take place on large documents consisting of
thousands of repeating "sub-documents". Today transformations over these
documents are impractical due to the need to have the entire source tree in
memory. Enabling "progressive" transformations, where the processor is able
to produce progressively more output as more input is received, is
tantamount to avoiding the need for XSLT processors to have random access to
the entire source document. This might be accomplished by:
* Identifying a core subset of XPath that does not require random access to
the source tree, or
* Consider a "transform all subtrees" mode where the stylesheet says, "Apply
the transformation implied by this stylesheet to each node that matches XXX,
considered as the root of a separate tree, and copy all the results of these
mini-transformations as separate subtrees on to the final result tree." | <urn:uuid:4d8aa34e-fe56-40ed-9296-02fad586e883> | {

I’m finally ready to show you all photos and the video of this year’s → Plus Size Fashion Days in Hamburg. It’s been an incredibly exciting time and I’m proud to say that this was my third time on the catwalk and I’ve been booked by so many brands – it was a pleasure and honor to walk for them and it’s so great to know that they trust me to represent them.
Above, you can see a picture from the rehearsal – this is my most casual self: black leggings, black t-shirt, sneakers and a cozy cardigan (it was pretty cold at the location during the training, fittings and rehearsals).
As every year, I feel like these are the most intense days of the year. I’m pretty sure, actual models don’t think so as this is their job – but for me as the tiny nugget I am, this is something so special and exciting and at the same time horribly exhausting because there’s so much to do around the final result, the fashion show. It’s very stressful, positively, though, but I’m pretty much completely useless after the event. Plus, this year, I got very sick afterwards. But it’s worth it. This is such an important event, with such a honorable message. An event of true diversity in terms of plus size, with people of different sizes, different heights, different skin tones, different stories, beginners and professionals, women and men. And this is exactly what the world needs. ♥ | <urn:uuid:b310341c-99bf-4d5c-8674-bf6e3450d2a8> | {

Clickfunnels is a powerful platform for building sales funnels and landing pages. However, sometimes you may encounter issues when trying to make your Clickfunnels page work with the www prefix in the URL. In this article, we will explore common problems that may arise with Clickfunnels and www, as well as provide solutions to ensure smooth operation.
Understanding the Issue: Clickfunnels Page and www
Before diving into troubleshooting, it’s important to understand how Clickfunnels and www interact. The www prefix is used to identify the World Wide Web domain of a website. It is a common practice to use or omit the www prefix, but in some cases, such as with Clickfunnels, the presence or absence of www can impact the functionality of the website. Clickfunnels, a popular online sales funnel builder, has specific technical requirements that may not always align perfectly with the use of www in the domain name.
When a website is accessed with the www prefix, it can sometimes lead to issues with how certain elements are loaded or displayed on the page. Understanding these nuances can help in troubleshooting any problems that may arise when using Clickfunnels with www.
Common Problems with Clickfunnels and www
One common problem is that the Clickfunnels page doesn’t load properly when accessed with www. This can result in broken images, missing content, or a blank page. Another issue is that the page may load but certain elements, such as embedded videos or external scripts, fail to function correctly. These issues can be frustrating for users and may impact the overall performance of the sales funnel.
It’s important to address these issues promptly to ensure a seamless user experience and maximize the effectiveness of your Clickfunnels page.
Why Your Clickfunnels Page Might Not Be Working with www
There are several reasons why your Clickfunnels page might not be working with www. One possibility is that the DNS settings are not properly configured to handle the www prefix. This can lead to issues with how the website is resolved and displayed when accessed with www. Another reason could be conflicts with third-party integrations or plugins that are not compatible with Clickfunnels and www. Identifying and resolving these underlying issues is crucial to ensuring that your Clickfunnels page functions correctly across different domain configurations.
Technical Aspects of Clickfunnels and www
Understanding the technical aspects of Clickfunnels and www is crucial for troubleshooting.

Delving deeper into the technical intricacies of Clickfunnels and www, it’s fascinating to explore how the cloud-based infrastructure of Clickfunnels optimizes page loading speeds and enhances user experience. By leveraging advanced caching mechanisms and content delivery networks (CDNs), Clickfunnels ensures that your pages load swiftly and efficiently, regardless of the volume of incoming traffic.
How Clickfunnels Interacts with www
Clickfunnels interacts with www by routing incoming requests based on how the DNS settings are configured. If the DNS settings are not set up correctly, Clickfunnels may not recognize the www version of your domain, resulting in issues when trying to access your landing pages or sales funnels.
Moreover, the seamless integration between Clickfunnels and www underscores the importance of maintaining consistent branding and user experience across all touchpoints. By configuring your DNS settings to include the www subdomain, you ensure that visitors can access your Clickfunnels pages using a standardized and recognizable URL structure.
Potential Technical Glitches in Clickfunnels and www
There are a few technical glitches that can occur when using Clickfunnels with www. One common glitch is DNS propagation delay, where it takes time for changes to the DNS settings to propagate across the internet. Another glitch could be conflicts between Clickfunnels and other software or plugins installed on your website.
Furthermore, exploring the intricacies of DNS propagation sheds light on the decentralized nature of the internet’s domain name system. While DNS propagation delays are typically transient, understanding the underlying mechanisms can help mitigate potential disruptions in accessing your Clickfunnels pages with the www subdomain. Additionally, conducting regular audits of your website’s plugins and software integrations can preemptively address conflicts that may arise and ensure the seamless operation of Clickfunnels alongside other web components.
Solutions for Clickfunnels Page Not Working with www
If you’re experiencing issues with your Clickfunnels page not working with www, don’t worry. There are several solutions available to help you resolve the problem and get your pages up and running smoothly.
One common reason why your Clickfunnels page may not be working with the www prefix is due to misconfigured DNS settings. When a domain is not set up to handle both the www and non-www versions correctly, it can lead to issues with accessing your pages. To address this, you can add a CNAME record or an A record to your DNS provider’s settings, ensuring that both versions of your domain are properly configured to point to the correct destination.
Another quick fix to consider is clearing your browser cache or trying to access your Clickfunnels page using a different browser. Sometimes, temporary caching issues can prevent the page from loading correctly, and clearing the cache or using a different browser can help in resolving this issue.
