La Compagnie du chemin de fer de Lyon à Genève est une société anonyme créée en 1853, pour construire et exploiter une ligne entre les villes de Lyon et de Genève.
La concession de la ligne de Lyon à Genève est attribuée, le , à la compagnie, avec embranchement depuis la gare d'Ambérieu vers Bourg-en-Bresse et Mâcon. Les travaux débutent en 1854.
Faute d'une assise financière suffisante, la compagnie fusionne en  avecnouvelle compagnie, fusionnée ultérieurement à la Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Lyon, formeran .
La ligne de Lyon à Genève est un exemple des conflits d'intérêts et du jeu d'acteur divergeant entre les représentants des intérêts locaux (en l'espèce la batellerie lyonnaise) et les représentants des intérêts nationaux (la Haute banque parisienne et le gouvernement).
Lyon était de longue date un lieu d'entrepôt et de transit des marchandises entre le nord et le sud par la vallée du Rhône, et plus encore entre la Suisse et l'Italie, plus particulièrement le royaume sarde.
Le développement du trafic fluvial sur le Rhône, notamment depuis l'essor de la navigation à vapeur à l'orée des années 1830, a accentué l'importance économique de Lyon. Aussi, l'apparition du chemin de fer a-t-elle fait craindre aux intérêts lyonnais, et aux entreprises de navigation notamment, la perte de leur influence. Déjà, la construction de la ligne d'Avignon à Marseille remit en cause leurs intérêts dans le bas Rhône détournant le trafic fluvial entre Avignon et Beaucaire au bénéfice du chemin de fer. Vint ensuite une menace au nord par la construction du chemin de fer de Dijon à Lyon. Malgré leur lutte à limiter le chemin de fer de Dijon à Villefranche-sur-Saône où le trafic aurait été repris par la voie fluviale, les Lyonnais perdirent ce combat en raison de la réalisation complète de la voie ferrée entre Dijon et Lyon. Ils purent espérer limiter les conséquences de la ligne nord-sud en escomptant une rupture de charge dans la ville même de Lyon entre les deux lignes Paris-Lyon et Lyon-Marseille. Mais la construction de la gare de Perrache, qui devint finalement le lieu de jonction entre les deux lignes, mit fin à leurs espoirs.
À ce combat perdu du transit nord-sud Paris-Méditerranée, s'ajouta celui du transit entre le nord de la France et l'Italie. Certes, il existait des voies de communication soit par le Jura (Lons-le-Saunier – col de la Faucille – Lausanne) soit par le bas Jura (Mâcon – Bourg-en-Bresse – Bellegarde-sur-Valserine – Genève), principalement utilisés pour le trafic des voyageurs surtout à la belle saison, qui donnait accès aux passages routiers des cols du Grand-Saint-Bernard et du Simplon. Le trafic entre le nord de la France et l'Italie, , était donc tributaire des grandes entreprises de roulage et de navigation de Lyon, le transit s'effectuant principalement par l'est lyonnais (Morestel – Les Avenières – Saint-Genix-sur-Guiers – Pont-de-Beauvoisin) et secondairement par Ambérieu-en-Bugey et la cluse des Hôpitaux. Les intérêts lyonnais pouvaient donc se satisfaire a priori de la ligne Lyon-Genève par Ambérieu – la cluse des Hôpitaux – Culoz – Seyssel – Bellegarde bien que, pour ôter tout risque d'un détournement du transit venant du nord délaissant Lyon, ils auraient préféré une liaison Lyon – Saint-Genis-d'Aoste – Chambéry – Genève. Cette ligne avait de surcroît l'avantage d'amorcer une liaison avec Grenoble qui revendiquait une liaison avec Valence faisant courir le risque, pour les Lyonnais, de perdre une part du trafic fluvial en amont de Valence. Cette ligne avait également les préférences du royaume sarde en lui garantissant un rôle d'intermédiaire du trafic franco-italien. Cependant d'autres intérêts, parisiens ceux-là alliés aux banques protestantes de Genève, se manifestaient pour un transit du nord vers l'Italie direct via Mâcon – Bourg – Chambéry et la vallée de la Maurienne ainsi que pour un Paris-Genève direct sans passer par Lyon. Mais dans un premier temps, ce projet ne pouvait se concrétiser faute d'accord avec la partie sarde privilégiant à partir de Chambéry, nœud du réseau futur sarde, la liaison vers Genève par Aix-les-Bains et Annecy confiée à la Compagnie du chemin de fer Victor-Emmanuel où l'on retrouvait la même combinaison de capitaux parisiens et genevois. Pourtant, les Lyonnais étaient sur leurs gardes car la concession du Lyon-Genève avait été accordée sous réserve d'un embranchement à Ambérieu vers Bourg et Mâcon. Il semble que le baron Girod de l'Ain (1819–1906) ait joué un rôle décisif pour cet embranchement expliquant ainsi sa présence, comme celle de ses descendants, au conseil d'administration du PLM.
Tout devait finalement se dévoiler dès lors que Cavour, soucieux de se ménager la bienveillance de l'Empereur pour l'avenir du royaume sarde de l'autre côté des Alpes (entrevue de Plombières en , mariage de Napoléon Jérôme avec Marie-Clotilde de Savoie en 1859), accepta de joindre le Chambéry-Genève au Lyon-Genève par Aix et Culoz (convention avec le chemin de fer sarde Victor Emmanuel du ).
Ainsi, une nouvelle fois, les intérêts lyonnais avaient été sacrifiés et le percement du tunnel ferroviaire du Mont-Cenis en 1871 devait concrétiser les efforts entrepris pour une liaison directe entre le nord de la France, , et l'Italie délaissant la ville de Lyon.
La constitution du réseau ferré autour de Lyon et dans la vallée du Rhône consacra la fin du monopole de Lyon sur le commerce avec la Suisse et l'Italie ainsi que le déclin définitif de la batellerie lyonnaise.
La compagnie et ses réalisations
La ligne Lyon-Genève est concédée par décret du  à un groupe de financier conduit par François Bartholoni, et d'autres administrateurs du PO, du Nord et du Lyon-Méditerranée, représentant la haute banque calviniste à Paris et resté en relation avec Genève en particulier le général Dufour, « sous les ordres duquel Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte avait servi dans l'armée suisse », et le banquier Charles Kohler.
Fort d'un capital de 40 MF ( actions de 500 F), la compagnie doit construire la ligne dans un délai de six ans. L'État apporte une subvention de 15 MF une garantie d'intérêt de 3 % sur 50 ans. La Suisse apporte une subvention de 2 MF.
Le conseil d'administration est composé de MM. Bartholoni, président, Hély d'Oissel, vice-président, Louis Ador (résident à Genève), Edward Blount (d'origine britannique, banquier à Paris), Comte de la Panouze, de Monicault, général Dufour (suisse), Oscar Galine, Girod de l'Ain, William Gladstone (britannique), Jayr, Charles Kohler (suisse), Abel Laurent et Rivet
Pour l'équipement de la ligne, la compagnie a contracté avec les usines de Fourchambault, du Creusot, de Terre-Noire, de L'Horme et de Vienne pour la fourniture de rails et de coussinets.
Pour le matériel, elle a commandé 12 locomotives aux ateliers de Mulhouse, 12 tenders aux ateliers d'Oullins ainsi que 32 voitures et 92 wagons aux ateliers Frossard à Lyon.
Les premiers travaux ont été inaugurés le lundi  à Satigny dans le canton de Genève. La ligne complète est inaugurée le  par une cérémonie à Bourg qui se poursuivra sur les bords du lac Léman. Le raccordement à Culoz avec la  du chemin de fer Victor-Emmanuel est achevé le  de la même annéedu Lyon-Genève fusionna avec la compagnie Lyon-Méditerranée par un traité en date du  et approuvé par un décret du .

 Ligne Lyon - Genève


A year ago I did an interview with Chloe from Chloe's Concept about suffering with low self-esteem and the struggle to be confident. You can read about that here.
In the interview I mentioned that I'd had CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) in the past in order to combat chronic low self-esteem which had plagued my life for so many years.
However, with the benefit of hindsight, I realise that I didn't enjoy my experience with CBT very much.
In some ways it was a little bit helpful - I learned a little bit about different types of negative thoughts and thinking patterns, and the importance of being assertive - but in a lot of ways, it wasn't.
To be honest, it wasn't the best. I have a lot of deep-rooted issues and CBT was never enough for dealing with those. CBT is useful for helping you to deal with how you handle issues in the present, but not in the past.
Having said that though, I had a lot of issues at the time and I was very unhappy. I was so depressed and miserable. I was living in a crappy house in a crappy area, I was feeling less than confident, and a couple of my housemates at the time were being extremely horrible to me and they were treating me so poorly, but whenever I'd bring up my issues my therapist was extremely dismissive and patronising, and she didn't want to listen to me at all. I felt as though I couldn't open up about things, and I felt as though she wanted me to say what she wanted to hear. Sometimes I'd talk about the difficult situations I'd been in at the time, and she'd say:
"Did he/she really say/do that to you?"
"Aren't you just dwelling on things?"
"Perhaps you're overthinking the situation."
"Perhaps you're just predicting things."
I was supposed to have 20 to 24 sessions, but I ended up having 11. The reason for this is because while I didn't quit CBT, I felt as though I was progressing on my own, and I felt as though I was at a dead-end with CBT.
I always told myself that I'd probably try CBT again but I would never go back to the same therapist, but now I think that I wouldn't go have CBT again. I just think that my issues are far too deep-rooted and I find CBT far too clinical.
Please note, I'm not saying CBT is rubbish, and I know that some people find it useful, but I'm simply saying that my experience wasn't great.

Submitted By: Michelle from Chicago, IL Date: 03/31/2010I like these bibs a lot but right when I got them little bits of cloth were falling off of them.. When I washed them and put them in the dryer I made the mistake of not latching the velcro beforehand and the velcro basically tore them up. I still use them but they are fragile!
Always wash them with the velcro attached!
Submitted By: Emily from Austin, TX Date: 01/22/2010Even though these bibs are more expensive, I loved that they are organic. Unfortunately, once you connect the velcro opening, the hole is way too small to fit any baby's neck. My baby is only 2 months old and the bib's neck opening is way too small. I have had to use a diaper safety pin to make the bibs functional. Big disappointment!
Submitted By: Michele from Orange County, CA Date: 11/29/2009I love these bibs, they are the only ones I could find that actually soak up any spit up or dribble without it getting messy. I purchased two packs. The only thing I don't like is that the velcro used is almost too strong..I have to remember to hardly touch the velcro together if I know my baby will fall asleep after the feeding so I can easily release it without waking him up. Submitted By: Kelly from Seattle, WA Date: 09/10/2009I love these bibs. They are amazingly soft!I would recommend them to anyone!


Good luck with that RG!
I am SURE that will work! It will change everything!
I don't really think,it will work. I'm doing it for my own sake.
know for sure that he does not care about the future of Scientology.
But I have to at least,to give him a chance.
Well...May be you're right.
But I still would like too try.If i get my SP title.. Oh..well..Then I will know for sure.
I'm loging off now to write the letter.
my cellphone and can't login here for some reason..
not click on it, but I'd rather not even see it.
I don't know how, but if you find out -- P L E A S E***T E L L***M E***H O W!!!!!!
Sorry I really don't get what this is all about....
I sent you 8 names in my PM - 8 people who could give you direct information about DM and you didn't even say thank you for helping me with this?!?!
Or beyond our help.
Just my guess. It's gotten boring here I am outtie.
I was up all night,looking up stuff online.Thanks.
Soon,everybody will blow. He will sit by himself in empty building. Some people will join freezone,some will become wogs. I don’t want this to happen.
This would be a wonderful end result.
Well my bet is that it is not going to work RG.
DM is beyond heeding the writing on the wall.
Just google "Matters of RTC Concern" for more information on how to communicate directly with David Miscavige and what his concerns are.
You may communicate directly to RTC about such matters. Many public and staff members do so, and they also write in about good results they have received through standard application of tech and policy. All such communications are valuable to RTC.
To send your report, select one of the Matters of RTC Concern in the menu on the right and then select the concerns you wish to report on. Or to send your report now, use the RTC Electronic Report Form. You can also mail your reports to the Reports Officer RTC at 1710 Ivar Avenue, Suite 1100, Los Angeles, CA 90028, USA. Fax: |||PHONE_NUMBER||| .
We have used the "Matters of RTC Concern" to good effect especially when we have been working on getting some dollars back from the church.
RG is obviously working her way through things and she should do what ever she feels will assist her in that process.
Call me crazy, but using the doubt formula / KR's is like letting the Gestapo run their own complaints department.
Has this worked for any of you ex's? It seems like most of the doubt formula write-ups I've seen published on the net come from folks who had already figured out it was a mindfuck... rather than the method they used to reach this conclusion.
Using Scientology to "objectively" evaluate Scientology? Eeeek! Perhaps there is some benefit to doing this for the newly-doubting... but it still evidences a troubling level of thought control.
I just did it! I sent a letter.
There was no way to send it to DM but I sent it to RTC and adressed it to DM.
I put there my name,adress and everythingpayed all my freeloader’s debts and never asked for any of my money back.
I never brought any civil suits against Scientology.I even still have my re-entry Sea Org program.
I’M DOING A DOUBT FORMULA BECAUSE I HAVE SOME DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR MANAGEMENT,so I'm reporting myself along with you.
I understand,that if you will declare me SP after that, it will affect my children (who are public and my friends who may will have to disconnect with me.
I came to decision to follow the Code of Honor.
That’s why I’m writing you this letter. If after reading it you will decide to declare me as an Sp, I will no longer will have to be in Doubts.I will do my Liability fornula.
You see, you’ve done some out-ethics things and you keep on doing them. One of them is the fact that many good people that I know got labeled as SPs and some of them was sent on RPF or were blown.
I believe,you have an M.U when you was reading the Danger formula.
1. Bypass (ignore the juniory).
3. Assign the area where it had to be handled a danger condition.
4. Handle the personnel by ethics investigation.
5. Reorganize the activity so that the situation will not repeat.
I think,you are doing step 2 and then step 5 and 6.
Sir,I don’t want to postulate it,but if you keep it up,very soon everybody will blow. Some people will join freezone;!That not what LRH would want!!!!!!!
Sir! If you care about your Church at least, a little bit, please,do everybody a favor.Send yourself on RPF!! Please! I don’t think,you’re evil but I do believe you would benefit from fixated purpose rundown. Sir,think about your integrity and about your future. Scientology is not all about money. You can’t take your money to the next life. Please, think about it.
I understand, you will more likely declare me an SP but I don’t care.
I wrote it for my own integrity sake,so you will know where I stand.
I never cared about “SP “ labels. I don’t think,you can cancel certs and awards.Certs and Awards are based on knowledge of the person. You can’t cancel what somebody knows. Of course,you can make sure that an auditor never will be able to audit in your Church, but can you actually stop an auditor from helping people just by telling people to stay away from him or her? I don’t think so..
Well,let me know if I'm Sp declared or not.
Well... I just sent it.
BTW,does anybody knows what's the current post of Diana Hubbard? I really need to talk to her.
I'm not going to freak her out. I'm not going to write ,"Hi,Diana!It's me,Q!Long time no see!" No,nothing like that..
I just want to know she is O.K. I have a bad feeling she is not..
I just want to write a nice letter asking her how she is doing.Just a letter from a public. Will she accept the letter from a public? I hope so..
Anybody knows her post? Or address?
I can't be wog any longer.
I was trying to be a wog since 2000 to 2006. I was totaly out. I tried sio hard.
But I'm back "in".
I will be off ESMB for a while. A few weeks or a few month. Just taking a break and fixing up my ethics. I may come back once a week to read PMs but this is my last post.On jan 11th is my daughter's birthday!I have to take some time off and take care of my kids.

FireNews : 2 people dead, one injured after shooting at a Wisconsin apartment complex #FireNews365
The suspect is also dead, according to Brown Deer Police Chief Peter Nimmer.
In a news conference Saturday evening, Nimmer said police believe he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and said no officers from his agency or other agencies that responded fired their weapons.
Police responded around 10:09 a.m. local time to a report of shots fired, Nimmer said. When officers arrived, they were fired upon from a second-floor balcony, where Nimmer said police believe the suspect lived.
The vehicle for a K9 unit was struck, but neither nearby officers nor the dog were hurt, the police chief said.
Authorities soon made entry into the apartment building. They found three people dead, including the suspect, who has been identified only as a 26-year-old Black man.
The deceased victims were identified as a 23-year-old Black woman and a 31-year-old White man. A survivor who suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg was identified as a 36-year-old Black man.
A child who was in the apartment was unharmed, Nimmer said, and is with family.
The relationships between the suspect and the victims were unclear, but at least two knew each other. Based on an early investigation, authorities believe the incident began as a domestic dispute. Asked how others got involved, Nimmer said police believe they were trying to help.
Police plan to release the names of the victims and suspect within the next 24 hours.
The shooting remains under investigation by the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team, led by the Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, police department, Nimmer said, who added the Wisconsin Department of Criminal investigations is also assisting.

My wife and I work full-time and have children at primary school. My wife’s parents are in England and my own are very high risk. Being unable to see grandparents - to disallow families critical contact which is important for wellbeing - wherever they may stay outside, is a basic infringement of liberty the state has no right to limit. Not only is it good for the adults to see the children and focus on work when required with some limited caring of the children, it’s also good for the children who are not receiving fullest attention if parents have to work, no matter how hard one tries. Any society is based on our social fabric and this is very cruel way to kill it.
Critical emotional contact for all. Help with childcare to improve wellbeing for all involved. Better for children as well as adults. Basic right to see immediate family.
I agree, cross border bubbles would be highly important to me.


Yoga, is an all encompassing medical care framework. It comprises of a progression of yoga extends, known as asanas or stances, reflection strategies, breathing activities and unwinding. Together, these strategies give your body a total upgrade and quiets and clears your psyche. Toward the finish of a yoga exercise you are pleasured out, chilled and loose.
Yoga customers love the post yogic gleam. Due to this I am regularly requested tips and encourage to improve their yoga experience.
Here are seven key things you can do, which will assist with extending your yoga experience.
Improve Your Yoga Experience With These Tips
1. Unwind. Take two-five patterns of profound breathing between presents. This permits your body to completely assimilate the advantages of each posture and sets you up for the following posture.
2. Practice. Careful discipline brings about promising results. At the point when you return home, make a note of any tips or strategies you learned in your exercise. Possibly your yoga educator reminded you to extend up through your spine prior to curving in the Spinal Twist. Little pointers like this assist you with getting the most extreme profit by your exercise.
3. Cognizant Breathing. Remain fixed on your breathing as your body moves and stretches into the postures. Profound breathing assists with keeping you centered during your exercises; assuages strain in your body, and carries tranquility to your psyche.
4. Wear clean light shaded garments. In the event that conceivable, put to the side a couple of light shaded outfits to wear when you rehearse or go to exercises. Everything in life is energy. The garments you wear for training will, after some time, become stimulated and receptive to your body ‘s unobtrusive vivacious characteristics. At the point when you put on your “yoga garments” your brain gets adjusted and arranged for training.
5. Offer gratitude. The specialty of appreciation and appreciation supports all yoga rehearses. During your yoga exercise put in no time flat peacefully to express gratefulness for the lessons, your body, your wellbeing and prosperity. This opens and extends your association with soul.
6. Tune in to your Body. During your training set aside effort to tune in to the sensations and developments you can feel in your body. Yoga empowers body mindfulness and arrangement. Over the span of your day you may not know about your stance, a throbbing painfulness. At the point when you become more mindful of what is happening inside your body, it is simpler for you to adjust constantly to the stances.
7. Think back and recollect how far you have come. Yoga is an excursion. Each time you practice, your body and brain gets more grounded and more adaptable. Require significant investment occasionally to ponder and think back how far you have come. Do you recall how solid or unyielding your hips and shoulders were the point at which you initially begun, or how you attempted to get into the Tree present? It is not difficult to fail to remember exactly how well you are getting along and how far you have come.
Learning yoga is a lifetime venture. Regardless of whether you are a finished fledgling or prepared yogi, the seven hints above – unwind, inhale, practice, wear light hued apparel, express appreciation, tune in to your body and make sure to recognize how far you have come, are valuable systems to embrace to help you upgrade and extend your yoga experience.

The concessions have been wrenched from the military by five days of protests against army rule in Cairo's Tahrir Square and elsewhere amid violence that has cost at least 36 lives.
It seemed doubtful if they would satisfy the demonstrators, who again braved clouds of tear gas to converge on Tahrir Square to demand that the generals relinquish power immediately.
Fahmy Ali, one protester in Tahrir Square, said the concessions did not go far enough. "W" he told Reuters.
Protesters earlier hanged from a lamp post an effigy of Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, the 76-year-old army chief.

Saul Auslander (Geza Rohrig) is a member of the notorious Sonderkommando, the unit of Jewish captives who worked alongside their Nazi jailers to help expedite the deaths of millions of their fellow prisoners. The reason they agreed to do this? To extend their own lives for a few more months, because they knew with a dread certainty that every so often, large numbers of them would be executed and fresh prisoners enlisted to their ranks. Going about this thankless business one day, Saul chances upon a dying boy, somebody he believes to be his own illegitimate son. Seized by the overpowering notion that the child must have a decent burial at all costs, Saul sets about finding a rabbi to perform the necessary ceremony, risking his life (and the lives of many of his closest friends, who are in the closing stages of mounting an escape plan and need Saul to help with their plans). In his desperate scramble to honour his dead son, Saul is flirting with disaster.

Heavy Stones Distort Beautiful Clay Vases by Martin Azúa
Martín Azúa and ceramicist Marc Vidal paired traditional artisan craft with raw natural materials in the Vase with Stone series. The duo created smooth, unique clay vases from raw materials and then introduced a rough element of nature.
Raw stones were laid on the vases before they dried to make natural-looking deformations in the clay. The vases became less smooth and human-made to look more like a natural formation.
“A clay vase deformed by the weight of a stone. Craftsmanship and nature converge in one object without artifice where materials and craftsman gesture are equally honest. The project shows the beauty of objects of unrefined appearance.”
“Tdal.”
About Martin Azúa
“Mis training in Fine Arts gives his work a speculative and experimental nature. One of his first projects was the “Basic House”, a radical interpretation of a Nomad shelter, which since 2007 has formed part of the MOMA of New York collection. He is a passionate observer of nature which he incorporates into many of his works, especially the items of ceramics that he designs. He claims the use of craftsmanship to safeguard the natural diversity of material and technological culture, collaborating with craftspeople of different professions.”


a ratI had quite a bit to say about both Feinstein's evil efforts, and the ignorance-based efforts of the anti-self defense nuts out there who are engaging in an obsessive crusade to take away my God-given rights - and the rights of millions of fellow law-abiding gun owners/militia members in the United States.
Could I have been more eloquent in parts? Sure. Could I have shown more brevity? You bet. I know the two videos I made equal just over a half-hour. But I don't just yap at you... I brought props!
Sometime today, our Dear Leader Obama/Soetoro will surround himself with children who wrote him asking him to ban guns, and then Obama will proceed to posture, pontificate and prevaricate in front of the cameras as he calls for the banning of defensive semi-automatic rifles,and Lord knows what else.
Surrounding himself with children is a classic maneuver that dictators have used in the past, as you can see above... all men capable of bearing arms. ..al."money quote is subsection (b)(2), which ensures that even if you areyou are still a member of the militia. 10USC311 essentially says, "Here are the people who are required to be a part of the militia, otherwise, everyone else is free to join of their own accord." With the Bill of Rights guaranteeing the God-given rights of the People, I get so sick of being told that it's just the Second Amendment that grants a right to the government - whether it be state or federal. Of course, this poisonous notion has been drilled into young minds full of mush for decades now. Just one example of this comes from a discarded high school civics textbook that I ran across while substitute teaching ten years ago.
Next, this amendment is indeed just as important today as it ever was. We may not face British regulars or marauding Indians on the frontier anymore, but predators who would do us harm have not gone away. Instead, we must defend ourselves against feral urban youth, rural home invaders, and, especially, our increasingly meddlesome and power-hungry federal and state governments.
Next, the Second Amendment doesn't "give" us the right to "organize state militias". None of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights "give" us anything. God gave us those rights; the Bill of Rights simply declare to our government that those rights are sacrosanct, and shall not be violated.
So essentially, every statement this book makes about the Second Amendment is incorrect. But yet, how many young minds were warped by what they read in this textbook? I would be interested to see what today's civics/political science textbooks say about the Second Amendment. My parting question is, how are we supposed to possibly reason with these gun-grabbing busybodies among us when they are so horribly misinformed about the Second Amendment, and firearms in general? If the time for reason is ever over, then God help us. </s> Lushchaeva G. M., Kondrat’e’’min A. I. Istoriya Sberbank


How can we store data?
How can we share data and ensure its accessible and utilized?
How can we ensure the instruments we use to measure parameters are both accessible and of good quality?
Testing, testing (this just got more interesting!
When I got back in front of my computer, I found the sampling location on the map and uploaded the results to the application. To my delight, I got a badge for the task!I thought that was a pretty clever integration. Oodles of psychology research shows how people are motivated by extrinsic rewards like recognition and belonging. Even though I'm pretty familiar with this research, it still works on me on an emotional level. The second time I uploaded results, I got a "Trainee Location Guardian" badge. I was starting to feel like I was Mill Creek's water guardian!
They have plans to expand this "recognition and belonging" aspect of Water Rangers. Kat tells me they are currently prototyping a Guardians program, "where users have to complete 10 challenges over the summer--including water testing, appreciating nature, learning about invasive species and planting a shoreline."


Right now, much of Sefo’s attention is focused on the aforementioned Belfort, who is continuing to prepare for his January 14th bout with prospect Anthony Johnson.
Xtreme Couture has also been in the headlines as of late, due to Alistair Overeem’s announcement a short while back, that he was going to prepare for Friday’s UFC 141 bout with Brock Lesnar out of the Vegas gym.

DayZ mod and standalone creator Dean Hall has revealed further information about the standalone's roadmap plans during a presentation at EGX Rezzed, outlining exactly what we can expect for the zombie survival game including the possibility of the next update coming as soon as two weeks time.
With the bow and arrow update, players will be able to track their own arrows and bolts, Hall stating that this will allow you to reclaim any that aren't stuck in human (or zombie) flesh. Hall also noted that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was a big influence in terms of hunting and skinning animals, so hopefully we'll see an interesting take on those mechanics.
Barricading was also mentioned during the presentation, with the ability to place wood onto doors to protect buildings that will "dramatically changed the game,” said Hall, particularly combined with better and more aggressive zombie behaviour. Vehicles also gained a mention, though don't expect any advanced vehicular motion until next year, with more simple two or four-wheeled vehicles planned for fourth quarter.
never bought it. was always hoping it would be free if you bought arma 2 OA for it.
Well, looking like I won't be buying it this year then.
The mods for Arma 2 still s*** over everything he's done and everything he's spoken about so far.
It sits on my steam unused after myself and all my mates gave up due to all the bugs and not much to actually do (apart from being killed by a ladder, falling through walls, getting stuck in a room with no working doorsm being kicked from server to lose character)..
Went back to arma3e wasteland, breakingpoint and Epoch mod.
Yeah, I regret giving Dean a cent tbh.
Myself and a few friends are still playing almost nightly. The bugs can be irritating but we push on.
I wonder how much of this is actually probably with a clunky engine like Arma 2. I know it's using a forked version of arma2 engine, but it still handles like arma 2 (s***house) and I just can't see a lot of these things happening.
Though, I'll see how we go later this year. If they can deliver on this stuff I might start playing again. At the moment I'm waiting for more content.
So as someone who's on the fence about dropping some money onto the stand alone DayZ, it's not really worth it, and I should stick to ARMA2 DayZ?
Fuzzy, yes. The only thing in S-A is the new-and-improved inventory, which some mods have altered already (ArmA 3 mods have similar, some ArmA 2 mods have just made inventory slightly better).
Everything else is a serious downgrade - almost no zombies, like 5 guns and no vehicles to be seen.
Also, the guns seem to be really inaccurate.
So why would you play this over Rust?
Do the zombies still noclip through walls?
He should have made the stand alone with the Crytek engine. Arma2 engine is a pile of piles.
C**** from NZ.

"I started doing black and white darkroom photography, and developing the film and printing it and seeing it show up on the paper was just so fun. I would walk out of the darkroom with the biggest smile on my face and it was my favorite thing to do, and I've done a lot of darkroom work since then because I just love it."
"It's kind of a weird relationship between my work and the different places I shoot and the way that I feel about them," Zalis said. "But I have done some cool work in Chicago and I'm excited for allChicago, and to see where my work goes."
"I kind of can't live without making my art, even if it's just like throwing paint on a pill bottle and putting flowers in it, that is meditative for me...the prevalent theme throughout all their work is a strong sense of authenticity and showing balance between the "the beauty and the ugly."
"The graffiti wall is a giant flood wall that goes for miles in St. Louis, and it's legal to graffiti on it…
"My biggest artistic dreams have to do with some form of activism. I either want to get a house that acts like a commune, but can also be a gallery or a place for gathering or I would love to own my own gallery in the city," Zalis said. "I want to showcase and uplift anarchist artists, self-taught artists or artists with a compulsive hand. And I think that's kind of my dream to work for myself and amplify the voices of people that I really love and support and they are doing great things."
"When I talk about anarchy, I like to say that anarchy is not chaos. I really found myself in anarchy — as in no government — it's just a community based on unconditional love. Regardless of what you do, we're gonna uplift you and work together to make a community work, everyone has a say, everyone has a part in it…
"That's my whole goal to show everyone is beautiful, and I feel like my eye has been trained to show you just how beautiful you are. Objectively, you can't see how beautiful you are to yourself because you have all these insecurities, inner judgments and inner critics and whatnot. But, I can show you objectively that you are actually beautiful and I want to show the rest of the world that too."
"I love abandoned buildings, graffiti and things that are in places they're not supposed to be, or things that aren't considered 'pretty' and I like to make them pretty or show people how they can be pretty."

Late last fall,. Although I had read The Diary of Anne Frank as a child, the visit to the museum prompted me to take another read. It was a different story the second time and at this point in my life, I had the opportunity to share it with and discuss the history with my two young boys. We had several conversations about history and religion that stemmed from it; and I'll plan to take them to the museum to share the experience.


A few weeks ago I shared with you guys that I had ran out of my favorite lip liner and it’s discontinued!! Don’t you hate when your favorite product is discontinued? My go to was Too Faced Perfect Lips Lip Liner in Perfect Spice. I did find it on Amazon but it’s $30 which seems like a lot of lip liner. I got some great recommendations from my followers and I am excited to share them with you! After all, the Sephora VIB sale kicked off today so this is the perfect time to update your makeup. Not all of these below are sold at Sephora but are still lipliners I want to check out.
Kylie Cosmetic Lip Liner in malibu
Bobbi Brown Lip Liner in true pink (I think the color nude may be a better fit)
I’m also looking for new skin care products, mascaras and probably new summer makeup in general! Winter and summer seem to be when I like to try new products. I am excited to go to Sephora this weekend to enjoy 15% off my purchase for their Beauty Insider Event! You can shop in stores or online from Friday 4/20 – Monday 4/23.

Sometimes people can be difficult with you has anyone had problems with people they have just fooled? I perform in a pub and nearly got in fight because of one trick!!!
Tell us more. What was the trick? And why did it cause, or almost cause, a fight?
1. They laugh incredulously, although nothing funny has happened.
2. For a few seconds there is just silence after the climax of a trick.
3. Strange expressions on their faces.
4. Headshaking and saying things like "No way!", "Oh my god!" or "I wanna go home."
When they say "Do that again!", the trick in question may have fooled them, but maybe they looked halfway through it the first time and want to make sure the second time.
If people react aggressively, there may be a presentational problem on the part of the performer.
Excellent points, Uli!!
Are you entertaining them or are you presenting a puzzle? One, the viewers don't really care because they had a good time.
The other is is an ego trip "I fooled you!", try to figure out how it was done! This type can easily create arguements and problems.
Magic is strange because people react in so many different ways. If someone acts aggressively it could be the perfromer or it could just be the person.
I've been hugged and also told to "go away, you're scaring me"
after doing the same trick.
no words, just laughing.
It's amazing how strong and diverse the reactions can be.
When people have BIG EGOS or are insecure (especially men) you are in BIG TROUBLE if you're trying to fool them.
Anything will work with practice. Winking at the guy part way thru the trick, letting him in on a different trick and other techniques can all be used to your favor.
The bottom line and the sad news is that there are asses out there that will take your deck of cards and throw them across the room, laugh and tell you to find their card.
As a magician you need to be brilliant at knowing when to let go and walk away. Let those be little victories in themselves instead of making you feel bad about what you're doing.
 The spongeballs are cheap of course but the balls were the mike rogers baseballs which are not cheap. He eventually did give them back but what if he did not.
I've ask myself that many a time since then.
I have some advice DO NOT PERFORM THE TWISTING ARM ILLUSION INFRONT OF DRUNK RUGBY PLAYERS !!!!
Then one of them claimed I must be double jointed / had a flase arm ??!!! anyway he grabbed my arm and *** near broke it trying to twist it round to show his friends it wasn't real !!
So be careful who you show !!
w
Funny you mention that. I think you can definately add insecure men to that catagory.
I have certain types of people I really enjoy working for. Among the top of my list is really big and strong guys.
I don't want to get too psychological, but it seems like they are so self-confident, they don't mind being completely fooled. Love it even. And whats even better is that they openly admit they are completely in shock.
I use to do magic for professional football and hockey players. I have the same view as you do. They are very child like and want you to do more. They were very appreciative and wanted to share the experience with their buddies.


Thank you, thank you, thank you, Circles volunteers and donors, was the message given to all Circles of Jackson County volunteers and donors on Sunday, Feb. 23, during an event at the Paper Mill Lounge in Sylva.
Craig Day, owner of the lounge, provided his wonderful establishment and all the great food forhe has done this for Circles.
The event began with Circles Board Chairman Mary Ann Farrell telling the guests what it means to be a Circles Ally and encouraging and inviting those who have not served as an Ally to do so.
Dawn Neatherly, Circles executive director, then presented plaques of appreciation for four women who kept Circles alive when the founder experienced a health crisis shortly after beginning the program and was unable to return for five months. Those wonderful individuals were Sue Bartlett, Linda Potter, Mary Slagle and Sheri Turk.
The Ann Melton Outstanding Service Award was given to Bill and Julie Ogletree, two individuals who do and have done so much for Circles of Jackson County. Bill donated the profits from his book “Mean Christianity” to Circles, and Julie drives to Cherokee each week and brings the Job Corp students to Circles meetings. Both serve as Allies.
The next award was the Go Getter Volunteer Award to Kathy Wilson. She assists in every volunteer area and is an outstanding ambassador for Circles to the community at large.
In addition,17 volunteers with five or more years of service to Circles were presented with lapel pins and five-year service bars.
In order to recognize individuals, churches and businesses who have made extensive monetary contributions to Circles, two giving levels have been established – the Platinum Circle and the Gold Circle.
The following received the Platinum Recognition: Darlene Beckett, Sylva First United Methodist Church, Susan Sterchi, Sylva Church of Christ, Beth Loftquist, Celeste and Joshua Pratt, Connie and Phil Haire, and Craig Day.
Receiving Gold recognition were Marcia and Tim Jones, Western Builders, Patsy Davis and Sylva First Baptist Church.
The event speaker was Kayla Loftis, a Circle Leader who has reached self-sustainability. She credited Circles of Jackson County for being a significant contributor to her move out of poverty and into the job of her dreams. She thanked all the volunteers for not only helping her but for helping so many in Jackson County work their way out of poverty and into financial sustainability.
Following this, a wonderful meal was served and everyone had a wonderful afternoon.

An ancient map of Australia dating back to 1663 has been restored after 18 months of painstaking work.
Thebought by the National Library of Australia after it was found lying forgotten in a Swedish warehouse in 2010.
The 17th century map was created by master cartographer Joan Blaeu. It was used as a template for all maps of Australia until Cook in 1770.
The map beforeLast year, a public appeal managed to raise the $100k needed to undertake the restoration work, which was carried out at the Grimwade Centre at the University of Melbourne, the ABC reports.
"It was extremely fragile," Denyl Cloughley, NLA's manager of preservation, told the ABC.
A major part of the restoration work was to remove a yellowing varnish that was painted on the map at some point during its life.
A specialist team spent more than 700 hours restoring the map under UV lights, removing the varnish with a scalpel and gel solvents.
The map was returned to National Library of Australia and yesterday it was put on display for the first time.

Imagine George 5 years after the death of Lennie. Write a short scene (300-500 words) in which we learn what George is doing now and how he thinks about what happened all those years ago in Salinas.
A few miles south of St. Helena the rows of grapevines stretched as far as the eye could see. Bundles of deep purple grapes hung heavy on the vines. It was harvest time in the Napa Valley. A warm August morning dawned and George was preparing for another day of labor.
What is the moral lesson George has learned from the one time he ordered Lennie to jump?

The eSchools Collaboration in the eRegion Conference is a follow-up of the eSchools Collaboration in the Cross-border eRegion Gathering sponsored by the Grammar School Celje – Center on December 5, 2017. It is problem based and action focused, opened to the interlinking with the related networks and associationsored world. The modern school puts in the foreground the digitization, creativity, entrepreneurship. But at this moment we cannot speak of major effects, as we still cling to the formalistic way of thinking and patterns. These are only supplemented with material benefits from various projects of the consortia, with mythological fear of digitization, that replaces the teacher of flesh and blood by the robot.
The Southern Railway connecting Vienna-Graz-Maribor-Celje-Ljubljana-Trieste.
Continuous development of the eSchool programs to help the students in the macro region of the neighboring countries, the Danube, Adriatic & Ionian, Alpine regions to become an equal member of the global eSociety.
Investigating how the informatics teaching and the availability of the ICT technologies in the schools at all levels could be exploited for an accelerated eCollaboration of all stakeholders involved: companies, ICT providers,"e"es.
Participation in the technical and humanities field is critically important for shaping the integrity of the young learners. eTechnologies open up new opportunities for the dissemination and deepening of humanisticthis concerns schools at all levels. Promising are the achievements of a number of schools in the field of cultural and industrial heritagehools are an important component of the emerging Silver eConomy, for which we have to prepare together.
Computer science experts are increasingly lacking, which is most evident in the most developed countries. With the expected accelerated digitization and robotization of all the processes in which people work and live, the demand for such experts will increase. Schools of all kinds and at all levels should increase the proportion of hour as part of their work in the education program. Because only specialized high schools and faculties of computer science will not manage this task.
Thirty years ago, the process of introducing the informatics course into the educational program of secondary and schools of higher education was initiated with the emergence of personal computers. This course, which is designed to get to know basic and widely used computer programs, has greatly contributed to the spread of awareness about the importance of using computers and the acquisition of skills. Now it's time for a computer programming course to be introduced in all schools.
Increasing the number of hours for such knowledge in a publicly prescribed educational curriculum is very complex and time-consuming. However, school leaders should not wait for a formal change of the curriculum. On their own initiative, they should introduce additional innovative ways of training in accordance with their own possibilities and requirements of the environment: summer schools, seminars, visits to organizations, inviting teachers / mentors from companies to promote interest and accelerating the opening of cooperation. Communicating with such good practices is an opportunity and an obligation for all those who already have the highest level of experience in computer programming training.
For schools it is generally helpful to connect with organizations in their own environment: with businesses, public administration, NGOs. For training in the field of computer science, this is not only useful but necessary. In organizations, pupils and students can learn about the processes and procedures in which employees use eTechnologies and the problems that are related to it. Only in the most developed organizations can they get to know the latest eTechnologies and become acquainted with their basic characteristics and conditions of use during their studies.
Regarding the cost of providing access to the latest eLearning technologies, it is advisable to set up a joint technology center in the city, municipality or region, which, under certain conditions, would be available to organizations for use. The base can be an existing school center. Such a solution would also be useful for the provision of teachers, as they are already too few, and for their specialization and continuous development.
From the perspective of space, eLearning involves eSchools in an environment that is consistent with the geographical area from which pupils / students come and where graduates go. It also depends on the ambitions and vision of school's management, as the level of youth mobility is increasing with the funding of student and teacher exchanges within the relevant EU projects. This can greatly extend the idea of what is an eRegion for an eSchool.
The Internet, which is one single and it is used worldwide, does not know the borders. It is therefore possible and advisable to speed up cross-border eCooperation in the eRegion. For the schools in Slovenia, the neighboring countries and, in general, the countries of Central Europe are particularly interesting for their proximity. Monitoring and exploitation is in the wider field of affairs, for example, the New eSilk Road and the New eAmber Road. Particularly interesting is the Three Seas Initiative: the Baltic, the Adriatic and the Black Sea.
E-šola je tista, v kateri vodstvo namenja posebno pozornost usposabljanju učencev, dijakov ali študentov za izrabljanje »e« tehnologij. V e-šoli se zavedajo, da bodo z zagotavljanjem e-znanj in e-veščin bistveno pripomogli k večji zaposljivosti svojih diplomantov.
Sodelovanje tehničnega in humanističnega področja je kritično pomembno za oblikovanje celostnih osebnosti mladih, ki se šolajo. E-tehnologije odpirajo nove priložnosti razširjanju in poglabljanju humanističnih znanj. Posebno pozornost velja namenjati proučevanju, ohranjanju in razvijanju kulturne dediščine; to pa zadeva šole na vseh ravneh. Obetavni so dosežki vrste šol na področju kulturne in industrijske dediščine.
Specialistov za računalništvo (computer science) vse bolj manjka, kar je najbolj očitno v najbolj razvitih državah. S pričakovanim pospešenim digitaliziranjem in robotiziranjem vseh procesov, v katerih ljudje delajo in živijo, se bo povpraševanje po tovrstnih strokovnjakih še povečalo. Šole vseh vrst in na vseh ravneh naj bi v okviru svojega delovanja v izobraževalnem programu povečale delež ur za področje informatike in računalništva. Kajti samo specializirane srednje šole in fakultete za računalništvo te naloge ne bodo zmogle.
Povezano s pojavom osebnih računalnikov je bil pred tridesetimi leti sprožen proces uvajanja predmeta informatika v izobraževalni program srednjih in visokih šol. Ta predmet, ki je namenjen spoznavanju temeljnih in splošno uporabnih računalniških programov, je veliko prispeval k širjenju zavesti o pomenu uporabe računalnikov in pridobivanju veščin. Sedaj je prišel čas, da se v vse šole uvede tudi predmet računalniško programiranje (computer programming).
Predmet računalniško programiranje je temeljni predmet izobraževanja. Podobno kot sta predmeta jezik in matematika. Ta predmet razvija postopkovno (algoritmično) mišljenje, ki postaja kritično potrebno v dobi digitalizacije, ki pomeni automatiziranje procesov in postopkov znotraj njih. Pri uvajanju tovrstnega predmeta v vrtce, osnovne in srednje šole Slovenija zaostaja. Obeta pa se še dodatno odkritje pomanjkanja tovrstnih učiteljev, ko bo enkrat vendarle dozorelo spoznanje, da je novi predmet potreben.
Povečevanje števila ur za tovrstna znanja v javno predpisanem izobraževalnem programu je zelo zapleteno in dolgotrajno. Vendar naj vodstva šol ne čakajo na formalno spremembo predmetnikov. Na lastno pobudo naj uvajajo dodatne inovativne načine usposabljanja skladno s svojimi možnostmi in zahtevami okolja: poletne šole, seminarji, obiski organizacij, vabljenje učiteljev/mentorjev iz podjetij za spodbujanje zanimanja in pospešitve odpiranja sodelovanja. Seznanjanje s tovrstnimi dobrimi praksami je priložnost in obveza vseh tistih, ki že imajo največ pokazati pri usposabljanju za računalniško programiranje.
Za šole nasploh je koristno, da se povezujejo z organizacijami v svojem okolju: s podjetji, javno upravo, nevladnimi organizacijami. Za usposabljanje na področju računalništva pa je to ne samo koristno, ampak nujno. Samo v organizacijah učenci, dijaki in študenti lahko spoznajo procese in postopke, v katerih zaposleni uporabljajo e-tehnologije, in probleme, ki so s tem povezani. Samo v najbolj razvitih organizacijah lahko spoznajo najnovejše e-tehnologije in se že v času študija seznanijo z njihovimi temeljnimi značilnostmi in pogoji uporabe.
Glede na stroške zagotavljanja dostopnosti do najnovejših e-tehnologij za učenje je priporočljivo, da v mestu, občini ali regiji vzpostavijo skupni tehnološki center, ki bi bil po določenih pogojih organizacijam na voljo za uporabo. Osnova je lahko obstoječi šolski center. Taka rešitev bi bila smotrna tudi za zagotavljanje učiteljev, saj jih je že sedaj premalo, in za njihovo specializiranje in stalno izpopolnjevanje.
Svetovna podjetja razvijajo lastne izobraževalne akademije, da v njih svoje zaposlene usposabljajo za posebnosti delovanja in vodenja njihovega podjetja. Izkušnje tovrstnih akademij so za e-šole zanimive, da bi njihova posplošena spoznanja lahko prek dijakov in študentov pospešeno prenašale tudi v manjša podjetja.
Sodelovanje e-šol in organizacij v njihovem okolju ne nastane samo od sebe. Ker je zahtevno, za šole in organizacije pa strateško pomembno, ga je potrebno pazljivo organizirati, dopolnjevati in se ob tem skupaj učiti. Potrebne so e-podprte rešitve za načrtovanje in usmerjanje procesa e-sodelovanja.
Z vidika prostora je e-sodelovanje e-šol mišljeno v okolju, ki je skladno z geografskim področjem, iz katerega prihajajo dijaki/študenti in kamor odhajajo diplomanti. Odvisno pa je tudi od ambicij in vizije vodstva šole, saj se stopnja mobilnosti mladih povečuje s financiranjem izmenjav študentov in učiteljev v okviru zadevnih EU projektov. S tem se lahko zelo razširijo predstave o tem, kaj za neko e-šolo sploh je e-regija.
Internet, ki je en sam, saj ga uporabljajo po vsem svetu, ne pozna meja. Zato je mogoče in priporočljivo pospešiti čezmejno e-sodelovanje v e-regiji. Za šole v Sloveniji so zlasti zanimive sosednje države in na sploh države Srednje Evrope zaradi bližine. Spremljati in izrabljati pa velja dogajanja na širšem področju, na primer na eSvilni in eJantarjevi cesti. Posebej zanimiva je pobuda regije treh morij: Baltskega, Jadranskega in Črnega morja.

on May 6, no one was happier for the new parents than Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland.
The 62-year-old waited for this moment for a long time. A statement from Buckingham Palace said Doria was overjoyed when her baby grandson finally arrived!
A few weeks before Archie’s birth, Doria flew in from L.A. to be by her daughter’s side and provide much-needed emotional support. The happy granny was present when Meghan and Harry introduced Archie to his great-grandparents, the Queen and Prince Philip.
But for some reason, she didn’t stay with Meghan, Harry, and Archie for long.
Doria is back in L.A.
On Tuesday, Meghan’s mom was seen near her L.A. home, walking her two dogs.
This sighting contradicts earlier reports that Doria planned to stay with Meghan and her baby son for several months!
While some may see it as a possible sign of another feud in Meghan’s family, it’s much more likely that Doria simply needs her own life, as her job and her friends are in Los Angeles.
Nevertheless, Doria is expected to visit her daughter and grandson on a regular basis. As an inside source told Grazia Magazine, her help is “indispensable” to Meghan and Harry!


Teaching English abroadpassionate about teaching. Countries like Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, Czech Republic, Saudi Arabia and Mexico offer great jobs for those who want to teach English abroad.
In the past few decades, teaching English as a second language abroad has become a great option for many Americansearn money, see the world and explore different customs and cultures. Typically, ESL teachersmay also be allowed to teach even without one in some places as long as they are able to obtain an accredited TEFL or TESOL certifications.
The following are countries that Americans often go to teach English along with their pros and cons the South Korean government’s effort to improve English skills in children and adults. About 2,000 to 3,000 jobs open almost every month for ESL teachers. Today, big companies in the country prefer applicants who have good written and verbal English skills.
What is great about working as an ESL teacher in South Korea is that jobs are available the whole year round. Salaries are generous at around $1,800 to $2,200 every month depending on the exchange rate. Tax is only 5 percent. Applicants in the United States may be offered free airfare if they qualify for the chance to live a comfortable lifestyle in South Korea. ESL teachers may have to work from 25 to 30 hours a week. They receive paid vacations and holiday benefits.
When it comes to salary and work environment, nothing beats South Korea. Most companies in the country will pay for the teacher’s accommodation, airfare and other benefits. This is why many American instructors prefer to work in South Korea. South Koreans are prompt with payments, and instructors can stretch their income a lot compared to other countries This is because the government demands that English is taught in public schools from age five until high school. ESL teaching jobs are also available in Japan the whole year round. English teachers receive an average monthly pay of $2,500 to $2,800.
Depending on the school or program, housing benefits and accommodation may be paid or subsidized. ESL teachers in Japan may teach in private language schools, public schools and even large companies.native English speakers who wish to work as ESL instructors. The biggest advantage of working in China is that the pay is relatively high while the cost of living is low. With this, ESL teachers are able to enjoy a comfortable life.
English instructors who wish to work in major cities like Shanghai and Beijing should definitely have a bachelor’s degree and TEFL certification. In smaller towns and cities, even those who have not completed a degree may be qualified as long as they have a TEFL certification.
ESL teachers earn an average salary of $950 to $1,900 with a potential savings of $250 to $450 every month. Chinese English schools sometimes offer a one month bonus for teachers who completed their 12-month contract. The typical hiring process includes a phone or in-person interview.
The only problem that many ESL teachers face while working in China is that the majority of Chinese people can’t speak English. With this, it can be difficult for foreigners to communicate with people outside of school.
Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Pattaya are just some of the major cities in Thailand that demand a large number of English instructors. ESL teachers should have TEFL certification to work in Thailand. They can also find jobs all year. Unfortunately, Thailand offers less pay than the other Asian countries. American teachers only earn an average of $750 to $1000 monthly. Additionally, there is a high cost of living in areas like Phuket.
ESL teachers from the U.S. come to Thailand primarily to experience the culture and explore the country’s wonders. They usually teach English to extend their holiday in the country. One problem that ESL instructors are concerned about is the 90-day report. Immigration demands all foreigners to report to them every 90 days. Many teachers find this tedious and annoying.
Nevertheless, many ESL instructors find Thailand to be an interesting place to teach. Aside from the fact that Thailand is home to many famous beaches, Thais are also very friendly. Many Thais in tourist areas speak English, and this makes staying in the country a lot easier for foreign teachers.
Recently, the demands for English teachers in Czech Republic hn Prague during the months of September and January. ESL instructors may teach in private schools, foreign language schools and summer camps.
Czech Republic is an interesting country to teach English in. This is because of the many jobs available along with the flexible contracts offered. Among the drawbacks of working in Czech are the pay and the visas. ESL teachers who opt to work there have to go through a tedious process before they can work in the country. They have to present documents like bank statements to
Additionally, the pay is not enough for a comfortable lifestyle. Typically, teachers earn about $1,000 to $1,300. This is why many foreigners go to the country with exploring as their primary goal. Nevertheless, the Czech Republic is easy to acclimatize to for many American teachers.
Qualified English teachers in Saudi Arabia can earn as much as $1,500 to $3,000 or more tax free every month. In addition, they get free health insurance, airfare and accommodation. However, expectations and qualifications for ESL instructors are relatively high. A lot of young Americans have been attracted to these offerings. Unfortunately, the country’s culture is particularly difficult to get accustomed to. There are stringent laws that prohibit people of opposite genders from talking and meeting both in public and private. In addition, alcohol is illegal in Saudi Arabia, and foreigners must live on compounds where they will have very little interaction with the local population outside of work.
Saudi culture is very conservative, and foreigners are not excused. Nevertheless, pay and compensation is better than in other countries. ESL teachers in Saudi Arabia have to go through a lengthy application and visa process that may take one to three months. English teaching jobs are available in large cities like Jeddah, Riyadh, Mecca, Dammam and Medina.
Mexico also has high demand for ESL instructors. Many Americans come to Mexico to experience teaching English and the local culture. This is because Mexico is very close to the United States, and it is relatively easy to get there. There are a lot of teaching jobs available in the country. Unfortunately, they are often not attractive for American ESL instructors because of the very low pay. Nevertheless, it is very easy to get accustomed to the country.
Americans who want to go and teach English in Mexico often choose to work in local and international schools. This is because they usually provide better pay and benefits than working in language institutes and teaching private classes.

I loved his long coat, and barbered sideburns. He was talking with two friends about the author Marguerite Duras, a French colonialist reared in Viet Nam. I don't know which book it was…
that is a great capture lavanna!
I found your site somehow while looking thru the internet at oil painting artists. I love your paintings of people in the cafes. I think it would be great if you would share your "kit" with us artists. What easel and palette do you use to keep everything so "unnoticed"?I think these are oils, right?
So glad to know that you are out there. Let's be blogging friends, huh?
Can see that you have a thing from John Singer Sargent!
The book was most likely The Lover…
I love your work!Your bold brushwork moves my eye around each subject. Do you varnish your oil sketches?


Matthew Demers - 21:45 EST
SMACK! That's what you get for not writing in. Yeah, that hurt, didn't it?? I'll give you another if you aren't careful.
Rant warning! Take cover! Now! Blow horns!
Your topic about buying games that you won't be able to play has been me in a nutshell for the past couple of months. I'd like to blame my local Circuit City which has been putting RPG's I've been wanting for a while in the bargain bin.(Xenosaga 1, 2, and 3, Disgaea 2, and Tales of Legendia all for 16 bucks? Must. Buy. Now!) Hopefully I'll get to play those games soon, I just have to resist the urge to stop by the store any time soon. Of course all those games are making me appreciate my PS2 even more, it's just a shame that the PS3 doesn't look like it's going to be living up to the family reputation any time soon.
And quite honestly, Whitney, based on the Sony show that's going on right now, it's not going to end anytime soon. There are absolutely no must-haves on the list of unveiled titles for me. A couple of "maybe-I'd-try"s if I had the console in the first place, but for the most part, it's a bunch of shooters, fighters, and sports titles that I couldn't be bothered to play even if I had all the time in the world to do so. Alas, PlayStation... how far thy name has fallen.
I'm a bit irritated. Why haven't we heard anything about the two RPGs that look somewhat tantalizing? Showing a couple of extra minutes on an existing Final Fantasy XIII trailer does not count as holy-crap-worthy, and we haven't heard a peep about White Knight since we heard only a tiny bit of info long ago. And that, my friends, is just about all RPGamers have to look forward to on the PS3 right now. Well, unless you actually like playing NBA YO COURTJAM '08 or whatever they're calling them these days.
Oh, if I could ONLY take the reins...
Hi Matt, I have to agree with Frammy about real-life save points; they sound good at first, but wouldn't be in practice. Do you want to relive your entire life with almost everything the same? Even if you could make different choices or influence events, most things in life would be unchanged. My guess is you'd get bored way before you explored every turn in life you could have taken. Why don't we decide to live our lives fully instead of regretting the things we should have done? Matt
It's true. Some things in life are just too scary, though. If you want to go skydiving, for example... well, I'd be much more inclined to if I knew that there was a saving device up on the plane beforehand, so that I could experience the freefall with the full knowledge that my parachutes fail and I hurtle into the ground at 300 km/h, that I'm just a "Reset" away. Plus, imagine if our lives had different files that we could save on! Imagine the best time you've ever had in your life... the best night out with friends... the best meal you've ever had... the best time you've spent with a special someone. It'd be neat to have the ability to go back and relive those great times, with the ability to return to 'the present' by jumping to a different file. Yeah, it might not do healthy things to your psyche, depending on what you choose to relive, but man, if somebody dude offered me Save Points for $1000 apiece with a quality guarantee, it'd be really hard to turn them down.
As for Pokemon, Nintendo should never have changed the requirement of collecting every Pokemon in each game in order to get the game's special Pokemon. Nintendo's marketing practices have left gamers enraged to the point where many gamers cheat regularly. And while I'm happy with Diamond/Pearl, I'd like to see a higher level cap for wild monsters in the game so it's easier to level up Pokemon.series? Here and there, - Waterfiend33 Matt
It's too bad, because I think that Nintendo's intent was to create some sort of "real life" search for a rare Pokémon. You're right, though; people will find unscrupulous ways to get around the system, causing ruin and destruction to all.
In the wild, a lot of monsters that you encounter and catch in high levels are really best taken to the nursery to have some hot Pokémon action, producing an egg, giving you a new baby that will be, generally, more powerful and useful to you. I hate caps of any kind to begin with, I must admit, because ugh, they make things seem so artificial. 9999 HP max, Level 100 Max... it's all garbage. At least with Pokémon, it takes a considerable amount of effort... CONSIDERABLE... to get somebody to that cap. Personally, I wouldn't mind if the Experience was boosted a touch. Level-grinding tends to get tedious once a Pokémon gets past about Level 35 or so.
Changes I'd make to the series? What a great question. I'd really, REALLY like to see the emphasis shifted away from Water, Bug, and Grass Pokémon, because it seems that they are way overdone. Also, I want to see a different choice of three at the start. Why always Fire/Grass/Water? It would be SO cool to start out a Pokémon game with a choice between, say, a Ground type, a Dark type, and a Poison type, and have the early "easy" monsters be weak ice types or something. Why not start in a snowy village where you fight Lv 2 Seels and Snorunts from the start? It's always a grassy village with a little pond and the first monsters are ALWAYS some normal type mammal thing (Rattata, Zigzagoon, Bidoof, for example) and some flying type bird (Pidgey, Spearow, Taillow, Starly). It's time to shake things up a little, wouldn't you say?
I'd also, of course, come up with some truly wicked moves and some Pokémon with awesome dual-types. Why haven't there been any Fire/Grass or Fire/Ice types? How about Psychic/Dark? Flying/Fighting? Wouldn't that be NEATOCOOL?
Of course, if they don't, I'll still play the games...I can't not. But, it'll give me an excuse to gripe more.
Thanks for the letter! It's keeping the column from crumbling to a crumbly death.
Ahem... what an interesting question.
Your rant against JuMeSyn Tuesday how you're overworked inspired my question...what is your average day like when doing this column? I'm not asking this to be stalkeriffic either...you are a professor now, correct, doing lectures two or three times a week? AND running QnA with your now-daily commitment to SOCK2 with 80+ players, correct? I'm asking so you can show how much work you put into this column, aka your main work, so people don't ignore it and go to your SOCK2 contest, aka your extra work. SO, my question what is an average day like when you do this column?
BLG Matt
Oh man... I love you. Hugs and kisses. <3
Really, life is not that bad. I like to gripe and complain, especially when I have long days. And I do quite regularly, but well, it's largely my fault.
Anyway, I appreciate the question! Right now I'm teaching for the very first time in my entire life. It's a first-year, second-semester calculus course, and I give three lectures and run one lab per week. I have a couple of office hours on top of that. Between preparing for my lectures, ensuring that the online materials and tests are up and running, going to regular meetings with the previous professor to make sure things are going well for me... that part of my life is plenty busy. An RPGamer column typically takes me about two to two and a half hours to write, and I do that four nights per week. Now that Sock 2 is back, though, it's an extra hour and a half or so every day on top of that. With a partner and friends to fill in some cracks, the end result is that I have limited time to play many of the games I talk about. It's a sad reality, but that's the way it is!
Of course, it hasn't stopped me from becoming obsessed with Pokémon over the past few weeks. I've taken time out of my sleep schedule for that game (which is a very, very dangerous thing to do, I'll have you know).
The important thing to know is that I wouldn't do this column if I didn't love to. I maintain that writing this every day and getting to talk about the games I love (and hearing about the games you love) keeps me grounded and sane, especially with theses to write, headaches to overcome, and other personal issues I'd rather deal with another time.
Thanks, BLG. To everybody: Q&A is always work in progrescriticisms, I'm completely open to anything you have to share. So please, tell me what you want to see, and I'll try my best to make you happy.
Life's - and virtual life's - decisions.
How do you feel about RPGs that offer a choice that you cannot go back on that has a major effect on how the game proceeds or how much of it you can complete? I'm not talking about vital stuff, of course, but optional, like getting all of a particular type of spell, or being able to finish all subquests. Examples include Final Fantasy VII (where your options for getting all Enemy Skills are limited), Shadow Hearts (where a single battle determines the ending you get), and, the game that got me to write this letter, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (where choosing wisely when forced to discard a mission item when you run out of room is VITAL to you completing all available missions and getting the best optional character - my mistake was common, but damn me if I didn't think it through enough, and on a game of this length too!). Matt
Ugh... and especially if you don't have an FAQ or strategy guide of cheatery at hand. For people like me who abhor them, things like this are especially irritating. Final Fantasy XII did the same thing, reportedly. "Oh, don't open these random treasure chests, or you'll never be able to get the ultimate weapon!" There aren't even any hints in-game about what you need to do. I don't get the logic, frankly, from the developer's side.
Yeah, so I guess I'm divided on the issue. There are times when I love the decision making: Final Fantasy VI has a couple of fun ones. Ragnarok Sword, or Esper? Mog, or a Golden Bracelet (like there's any REAL choice there... Bracelet ftw! JK). However, when they're so obscure and random that there's no real way to know that you've doomed yourself to losing out on something because you got rid of a specific item or tripped one chest in particular, it's nothing but annoying.
I suppose it won't matter to you too much if such optional things don't appeal, but they do to me, and I wonder. (PS: SOCK r0xx0rs my b0xx0rs. Just so ya know.) Matt
Heh, I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's classified under "highly experimental" and it's still work in progress,
Anyway, sorry that this letter got lost in the shuffle before, but here it is now and out in the open. I appreciate the contribution, Leaper. Now leap on over to a certain sidebar link and see if you can figure out how to become a Blue Mage... if you can.


EBSDn - Busting a Myth
Nacre of pearls and mollusc shells is a hybrid nano composite of aragonite (CaCO3) platelets and biopolymers. The colorful luster
of nacre is due to the aragonite platelet thickness which is close to the wavelength of visible light. Further, the hybrid composite
nanostructure lends nacre extraordinary mechanical properties. The biopolymer component provides flexibility and tensile strength
while, the mineral component is essential for high elastic modulus, compressive and bending strength, as well as hardness and
abrasive resistance. The fracture toughness of nacre is orders of magnitude higher than that of pure CaCO3 (Mayer, 2005,
Barthelat, 2010). Due to the large electron penetration depth in nacre at the conventionally used 20 kV acceleration voltage in
SEM/EBSD investigations, a spatial resolution in the order of 1 micron has been reported. (Schmahl et al., 2009, Goetz et al., 2009). This is insufficient to resolve nacreous nanostructures. This application note illustrates how the resolution of EBSD data can be
significantly enhanced when low acceleration voltage is usedo & X-Max 80. This has since been upgraded to Symmetry & Ultim Max respectively.


We never thought that we would serve as Pastors in a church. After the home-going of our beloved pastors, who were our mentors, and spiritual parents; our board asked us to pray on serving as the senior pastors of our church.
That was a huge commitment to God, and to our family but as with everything, we took it before the Lord for His leading and direction. At that point of our life, we already developed a lifestyle of living within the priorities of God. However, we knew if we stepped into this role, it would cause us to really live up to God’s priorities in order to go where He is calling us; without neglecting our primary priorities.
It was during a time of fasting, praying and reading God’s Word where we came across this quote in the middle of The Maxwell Leadership Bible that convicted our hearts to walk in complete obedience.

Existential Damages: The Injury of Precarity Goes to Court
"Mobbing." October 27, 2004 via. Psychological workplace harassment, called “mobbing,” can include vicious bullying but also practices normative within neoliberal labor regimes. It has become an urgent problem in Italy and led to the creation of a judicial category: “existential damages.” Why acknowledge workers’ existential injury during a period marked by the precipitous loss of their safeguards and value? Awarding existential damages displaces the locus of agency from the cause of economic conditions to their effects: from labor policy and norms to the disordered social relations among workers. Obscured are frictions within Italy’s uncoordinated political apparatus and how workers’ injury is enacted and maintainedrelated articles on labor, including Peter Benson's "" (2008), ) and Paul Eiss's and David Pedersen's Introduction: Value of Values (2002). Additionally,  that focus on issues within Italy, including Elizabeth Krause's "''Empty Cradles ae, and Class in Italy" (2001), Mia Fuller's23–1940" (1988), David Horn's "Welf" (1988), and Andrea Mueh
Noelle Molé is a cultural anthropologist whose works explores becomes embodied and affective. She is interested in how what we know and how we experience the world make and remake each other under conditions of late capitalism. Her first book, Labor Disorders in Neoliberal Italy, theorizes and traces the institutionalization and circulation of “mobbing” (il mobbing), a psychological workplace harassment, in the northern Italian city of Padua. In the late 1990s, mobbing, often used for strategic downsizing, generated a national response: hundreds of mobbing clinics and hotlines, a new occupational illness, and a new legal injury designated for mobbing: existential damages. By analyzing the legal and medical apparatus assembled around mobbing, Labor Disorders uncover the politics of a state in transition: from a welfare state governing a highly protectionist labor economy to a fragmented state managing a neoliberal labor market and ramped up legal regime. Within this context of paradoxical political flux and heightened economic and existential uncertainty, and specifically for the subjects who identify as victims and victim advocates, mobbing becomes a way in which social actors negotiate and contest—judicially and somatically—neoliberal governance and precarity.
