Ein Kontor oder Contor (von französisch comptoir "Zahltisch", im Postdeutsch auch comtoir) war im Spätmittelalter eine Niederlassung von hansischen Kaufleuten im Ausland und ist eine veraltete Bezeichnung für Büro sowie die Zweigstellen von Banken.
Der Begriff Kontor wird erst seit dem 16. Jahrhundert verwendet. Vorher wurde von Haus oder Hof gesprochen. So heißt beispielsweise das Kontor in Nowgorod Peterhof. Bis um 1700 bezeichnete Kumthor in Niederdeutschland das Schreibmöbel des Kaufmanns, keinen Raum.
Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wurde der Begriff gerne für Büros und Geschäftszimmer von Kaufleuten verwendet. Die mit den Kontor- oder Büroarbeiten Beschäftigten wurden auch als Kontorist oder Commis bezeichnet. Auch in unserer heutigen Zeit wird von traditionellen Betrieben die Bezeichnung Kontor geführt. Häufige Sitze dieser Firmen sind die alten Hansestädte. Das Kontor des Kaufmanns befand sich oftmals mitsamt dessen Warenlager und seinen Wohnräumen unter einem Dach. Erst nach Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts entstanden zunehmend Gebäude, die ausschließlich der Büronutzung dienten, insbesondere Kontorhäuser. In Hamburg entstanden zwischen 1886 und 1938 hunderte Kontorhäuser, im Wesentlichen in ähnlicher Bauweise und mit einheitlicher Funktion.
Im Dänischen, Norwegischen und Schwedischen heißt "Büro" noch heute , im Indonesischen wird es mit kantor bezeichnet (übernommen während der niederländischen Kolonialzeit), und im Niederländischen und Niederdeutschen wird ein Büro weiterhin  bzw. Kuntoor genannt. Im Polnischen wird eine Wechselstube als  bezeichnet.
Das Handelskontor als Arbeitsplatz
Das Handelskontor war "bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts in die traditionelle Raumorganisation und das vielgestaltige Sozialgefüge der patriarchalischen Hausgemeinschaft integriert." Mit dem Expandieren des "Zollvereins" kam es vor allem in den 1850er Jahren zum Aufschwung der freihändlerischen  Wirtschaftspolitik. "Die Ausweitung regionaler Wirtschaftspolitik zu überregionalen und internationalen Handelsinterdependenzen sowie die Vermehrung des Geldverkehrs und des Investitionskapitals beschleunigen nun auch die Vermehrung und Vergrößerung der Handelsbetriebe. Große Kontore mit mehr als 10 Handlungsgehilfen (Anmerkung: Bis dahin hatte der Kaufmann im Durchschnitt ein bis drei Mitarbeiter.) bilden erst in den nachrevolutionären Jahren nicht mehr die Ausnahme. Mit der Vergrößerung der Kontore und dem zahlenmäßigen Anwachsen des Kontorpersonals vollzieht sich analog zu den gesamtgesellschaftlichen Spezialisierungsprozessen der bürgerlich-industriellen Entwicklung auch innerhalb der patriarchalischen Hausgemeinschaft der Kaufmanns- betriebe eine stärkere Ausdifferenzierung nach Hierarchie und Funktion". "Die positionale Differenzierung des Kontorpersonals und die daran geknüpften Einkommens- und Machtungleichheiten werden durch die Hierarchisierung des Raum- und Gegenstandsgefüges im Kontor allen sichtbar abgebildet. Das Privatkabinett des Prinzipals ist nun von den anderen Kontorräumen abgetrennt. Auch der Disponent und die höchsten Kommis verfügen schon in manchen Kaufmannshäusern über einen eigenen Raum. Die allmähliche Trennung zwischen leitenden und ausführenden Tätigkeiten deutet sich langsam in der Vermehrung und Differenzierung der Kontorräumlichkeiten an. Findet man in den kleineren Betrieben Prinzipal, Buchhalter, einen Kommis und die Lehrburschen gemeinsam in dem einen, als Kontor oder Com(p)toir bezeichneten Raum bei der Arbeit, so tritt in den größeren Betrieben neben das erste ein zweites." "In dem allgemeinen Arbeitsraum sitzen 10 bis 15 Kommis an ihren Pulten. Große und kleine Pulte, ausgreifende und beengtere Arbeitsplätze, direkt am Fenster oder in dunkleren Ecken der Arbeitsräume, Einzel- oder Doppelpulte, durch Geländer, Ablagetische und Besucherstühle vor dem Lauf anderer Kommis abgeschirmte Arbeitsbereiche, Sessel oder Kontorböcke und die unterschiedliche Verfügung über andere Arbeitsmittel prägen die hierarchische Struktur der Kontorräume." "Die räumliche Privilegierung ist stets durch ein abgeschirmtes Herauslösen aus den übrigen räumlich-sozialen Verflechtungen gekennzeichnet. Je abgeschirmter und verborgener ein Arbeitsplatz ist, desto höher sein Prestigewert."

REPLACEMENTS**
**All
overbut
the shouting**
_an oral history_
**Jim Walsh**
Praise for Jim Walsh's _The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting_ :
"... a lovable and absorbing work, a swan song for an irrepressible, irreplaceable era in American popular music."
—Elizabeth Hand, _The Village Voice_
"... it's hard to imagine anyone approaching this unholy mess of a subject and doing a better job."
"... Walsh expertly navigates the divide between the truth and otherwise. It's a compulsively readable, passionately compiled oral history of the infamous Minneapolis foursome who spent the '80s writing a new rock 'n' roll fairy tale while simultaneously ripping out its pages."
—Ross Raihala, _St. Paul Pioneer Press_
"... uniquely, proudly the story of the Minneapolis band from the vantage point of the Minneapolis scene.... Funny, intense, sad and joyful."
—Chris Riemenschneider, _Minneapolis Star Tribune_
"Recommended, maybe must reading for fans of the Replacements and indie rock in general."
"If anyone's going to write a book about The Replacements, Jim Walsh is the man."
"... fittingly irreverent tribute to the Minneapolis miscreants who might have ruled the world in the '80s but for the fact that they always appeared bent on self-sabotage.... Walsh, an insider, gathers a vivid collection of reminiscences to recreate an utterly vanished pre-Internet world."
—Ian McGillis, _The Gazette_ (Montreal)
"... a wonderfully entertaining oral history."
"... the passion [the 'Mats] inspired will be preserved in _The Replacements_ for every kid who cares to trace the alternative rock scene back to its roots."
— _City Pages_
"The rest of us have only seen the Replacements through 'a crack in the drapes.' Walsh actually managed to get closer to the band than I ever thought possible."
—Joe Soucheray, _St. Paul Pioneer Press_ and host of KSTP-AM's _Garage Logic_
"... a very necessary document of a time when you could still tell something about a person by their shoes—or by the ultimate test: whether or not they liked the Replacements."
— _HARP Magazine_
"... lovingly compiled with some typically fantastic yarns, vivid memories of great shows and colourful tales of often insanely wayward behaviour."
— _Uncut Magazine_
"... not a moment too soon. Jim Walsh's oral history adeptly measures the pulse of these Minneapolis heroes, and the myriad voices reveal their grand legacy to both fans and newcomers alike. Long live the 'Mats legend."
— _Crawdaddy!_
"Get a feel of their real ragged soul from this bio, cobbled together by a guy who was in a Minneapolis band from back in the drunken daze.... since we've rarely been privy to those fellas' thoughts, or the cool old pics throughout, this tome is invaluable."
— _CMJ News Music Monthly_
"Walsh presents the 'Mats in a multidimensional light, illustrating their talents and charisma, while also depicting a band that struggled with many challenges that early success can bring.... But rather than turning it into a tabloid, the impression he leaves is sensitive and human."
— _ALARM Magazine_
_For The Falls (from South Minneapolis) and all the other new garage bands
whose parents gave them roots and wings and rock and roll._

The first time I saw the Replacements was at their first bar gig on the night of July 2, 1980. They opened for Minneapolis rockers the Dads, at the old Longhorn Bar in downtown Minneapolis, and they were tremendous, even then: a burst of song-to-song energy with a singer/guitarist whose heart positively pushed against his chest cavity; a teenage bass player with flailing, splaying legs and a Sir Lancelot haircut who would drop to his knees and yell "Fuck you!" to the bar; and his older brother, a Young Frankenstein with a wicked falsetto and an even more wicked wrist on guitar. They did covers by 999 and Johnny Thunders, and originals like "Off Your Pants" and "Toe Needs a Shoe (Problem)." By the end of the set, I ended up on the small dance floor with my friend Cecelia and a half dozen other kids, pogo-ing to what everyone in the dank, air-conditioned room agreed was an exciting new find.
The only reason I'd ended up at the Longhorn that night was because I knew the drummer, Chris Mars, from DeLaSalle, the hippie-Catholic high school in downtown Minneapolis where his older brother, Jim, and I had become friends. So that night after my band finished practice, we all went down to the Longhorn, which was the launching pad for Minneapolis' original music scene of the day. We snuck our guitarist, Kevin, and our drummer, Rick—who were fifteen and sixteen at the time and who smuggled a tape deck in to record the show—through the club's backdoor near the alley, which was always left wide open in those days.
Before the 'Mats took the stage, I remember watching Paul, whom I'd never met, going to the stage and fussing with something on his guitar, and nervously drinking out of a plastic cup. Water, I think. I remember liking him immediately—he wore a raggedy green-and-white baseball/football shirt and tennis shoes, no safety pins or leather, and he pretty much looked not like a rock star or an anti–rock star or a punk, but like a dozen guys I'd grown up with in South Minneapolis. After the show, Chris introduced me to Paul, who


Earlier this week, Hurricane Laura threatened to potentially hit the Houston area. As Laura made it’s way across the Gulf of Mexico, it strengthened rapidly into a major Category 4 hurricane and it’s track shifted further East. This resulted in Laura making landfall in Cameron, Louisiana, Based on the catastrophic damage caused to our neighbors who lived in it’s path, it’s safe to say the Houston area “dodged a bullet” this time. However, we are still approaching the peak (September 10th) of what has been a very active hurricane season, thus, it’s very important not to let your guard down. We wanted to share a comprehensive article by Jason Metz of Forbes on how to become and remain prepared during hurricane season. It contains many helpful tips to keep in mind.

Anyway, there weren't that many pho options open that early in the morning on a Saturday in the Outer Richmond.  Yelp led us to Americana Grill:
Which had us all going, "Whaaaaa?"
We entered the front door to find a diner:
A diner that offered pho right next to omelettes and pasta:
We were confused to say the least.  But strangely enough, the pho wasn't all that bad.  It wouldn't be my first or second choice, but when you have a craving early in the morning and there isn't another pho place in sight, it's passable.
Love the service too.  The little middle-aged Vietnamese uncles were very attentive and considerate.
A Napa day wasn't enough to celebrate my precious T's 26th birthday.  Oh, no ho ho.  She had to have a birthday weekend too.  Which is how I ended up in SF on a Friday night at Fresca:
The place was packed, but T had reservations for her near and dearest (aka me...and some other peeps):
With 7 of us squeezed into a table, we ordered quite a bit of food.  First came the plantain chips:
Which went well with the itty bitty servings of ceviche tastings:
Itty bitty.  There's no other way to describe it.  With the help of our server, we picked three ceviches: ceviche ¡pasion!, ceviche de coco, and ceviche chifa.
My least favorite was the ceviche ¡pasion!, which came with salmon, passion fruit, red onion, yellow pepper, cilantro and purple corn.  Way too sour.  The ceviche de coco was interesting with its ahi tuna, lime, coconut juice, rocoto, green onions, and purple corn.  The ceviche chifa wasn't too bad either.  It consisted of ahyi tuna, soy, crisp wonton, avocado, sesame seeds, peanuts, aji, and lime.  As filler, we got black beans and yam.
T is a paella monster, so of course we had to order some to appease the birthday girl:
Lots of seafood (mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari, fish, and scallops), but it was kinda mediocre to me.
The lomo saltado or wok fried tenderloin steak strips with onion, tomato, cilantro, soy, french fries, and jasmine rice was a bit better:
But the best had to be the aji de gallina or pulled chicken stew:
The stew itself was creamy from the aji amarillo cream and yukon potatoes. It was topped with walnuts and a hard-boiled egg.  And also came with jasmine rice.  So good.  Probably the only thing I would recommend ordering at Fresca.
No birthday dinner can be complete without dessert.  Or two.
We got the tres leches cake:
The only enjoyable part of that plate was the scoop of dulce de leche ice cream.  The cake itself was bitter from too much alcohol.  I didn't even know there was alcohol in tres leches cake.  Blech.
The picarones or Peruvian beignets weren't much better:
A little too hard to be pleasant and the honey citrus syrup had a strange bitter tinge to it.
In my humble opinion, Fresca was just...okay.  The food was easily eclipsed by the company.  Then again, we were a pretty spectacular group.

Oakland: Mama's Vietnamese Restaurant
SY wanted to grab lunch at Duende, but apparently, Duende's lunch menu is still in the works.  So instead, the three of us walked around downtown Oakland until we came across Mama's Vietnamese Restaurant:
Mama's seems like a really popular place for business lunches:
I'm usually pretty wary about trendy Vietnamese restaurants, particularly those that are filled with non-Asians.  It's usually a sign of mediocre and overpriced food.  (Those of you who're Asian know exactly what I mean.)
What do you know?  Mama's turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
We started off with some complimentary soup:
It was cute how each of our soups came in different vessels.  Mine was a cup.  Not much in the soup besides some veeery thinly sliced vegetables, but it wasn't bad.
SY ordered grilled chicken with crispy rolls on vermicelli:
VN got the tofu curry in a claypot:
Whereas I got the crispy sole fish rice plate:
Fried fish plus fish sauce and rice?  There's no way that combo can be wrong.  The fish was freshly fried and actually quite flaky and juicy.
I wish the salad didn't come with ranch dressing though.  Blech.  Never liked ranch.
Not bad, Mama's, not bad.  And the lunch prices were reasonable too.  I'll be back...maybe.

Ever since Queen G told me about Addendum, I wanted to go.  Easier said than done.
First of all, I rarely ever go to Napa.  And as someone who doesn't drink, it's hard to justify making the trip up there just to eat at a restaurant.  Even one that's part of the Thomas Keller restaurant family.  (Unless, of course, you're planning on dining at French Laundry.  In that case, it's entirely justifiable.  No question about it.)
The stars aligned for T's pre-birthday Napa trip.  It was a Saturday.  In April.  And we were going to be there for lunch.  I could barely contain my excitement.
To be on the safe side, I pre-ordered our food via email the day before and then confirmed the order over the phone.  Super easy.
As I mentioned in the previous post, our original plan was to fit in a winery in-between the bakery and lunch.  Unfortunately, breakfast took a bit longer than anticipated and because we didn't want to miss our pick up time, we headed straight to Addendum after Model Bakery:
Addendum is tucked behind the parking lot of Ad Hoc, the main restaurant.  If you follow the sounds of people enjoying themselves, you'll find Addendum's one room shack:
For $16.80, you can choose between two main entrees.  The buttermilk fried chicken (3 pieces):
I wasn't wowed by the sides, but I was FLOORED by the fried chicken.  The breading is thick and crispy and fragrant with rosemary.  The chicken itself is seasoned and so very juicy.  As in really, really juicy.  As in Lord-I-want-some-right-now juicy.
The bbq option was also fantastic.  Those ribs...that pulled pork...that cornbread soaked in all that pork juice...holy moly.
Bless you, Addendum.  Bless you, Thomas Keller.  Just bless you.
As if all that wasn't enough, we made a pit stop at Bouchon, Thomas Keller's bakery, after Addendum for some sweets.  Only after that did we deign to check out a couple of wineries.
I could care less about the wineries.  In my mind, my day ended at Addendum.

In pre-celebration of T's birthday, a bunch of us took a day trip to Napa.  The original plan was to proceed in this order: food, wine, food, wine, food, wine.
Instead, here's what we did: food, food, food, wine, wine, wine.  It's pretty clear what our priorities are.
After a quick stop at the Napa information center, we started off our Napa adventure at Model Bakery:
So much bread and other baked goods to choose from:
Model Bakery is famous for its English muffins:
Now, I've never been a fan of English muffins, but I figured I had to give these a chance.
Thank God I did.  Model Bakery has completely altered my outlook on English muffins.  T and I split a breakfast sandwich:
It came with hash browns, avocado, fried egg, tomato, ketchup, mayo, and provolone cheese.  We elected to add bacon for an additional $1:
I really don't know how to describe Model Bakery's English muffin besides by saying that I've never had one like that before.  Lame, I know.  But I'm trying to be honest here!  It was toasty and soft and just crazy good.
We also tried a blueberry and cheese pastry, but it was nowhere as revelationary as the English muffin:
It certainly looked pretty though:
I never thought I would ever like English muffins, but thanks to Model Bakery, I'm a changed woman.
You win, Model Bakery.  You win.

Met up with my Chitown chicks at Enssaro after work because SY was in the mood for Ethiopian:
We got there pretty early, so things were rather quiet at first:
The three of us decided to split one meat entree and a veggie combo:
For our meat entree, we went with the ye doro tibs or cubed chicken with green peppers, onions, garlic, and Ethiopian spices.  The veggie combo included messer wot (spicy lentils), kik-alicha (yellow pigeon peas), ata-kilt (cabbage, carrots, and potatoes), and gommen (collard greens).
Don't get me wrong, everything tasted great, but what I love most about Ethiopian cuisine is the injera:
I love the sour, spongy, soft bread.  I especially love how it came rolled like a tape bandage.  We quickly mowed through that bowl and started ripping away at the injera lining the platter.
Like vultures, we were.

South Bay: Zam Zam
Last month, my coworker and I did some outreach for my org's Citizenship Day event in Fremont.  We stopped by a mosque and then Zam Zam, an Afghan grocery store:
Okay, so we had an ulterior motive when we chose Zam Zam (which means holy water in Farsi).  Zam Zam is grocery store plus restaurant:
According to my coworker, the food section of Zam Zam is great for buying party trays.
Instead of waiting at the counter like I thought she would, my coworker walked straight up to the window and started chattering away in Farsi with the lady in the kitchen.
My coworker is Afghan, so I knew I was in good hands.
And I was right.  My coworker's got my back.  As you can see with this awesome bolani:
Now, I don't know if I've made this clear enough in previous posts.  I.  Love.  Bolani.  Like, yea.  A lot.  The two of us were supposed to share, but I think I ate most it.  Something about the smell, the yogurt, and the potato filling just tickles all my yummy senses.
My coworker wanted to introduce me to shirpera, an Afghan dessert:
Shirpera is a sweet milk fudge flavored with almonds, pistachio, cardamom, and rose water.  Super sweet, super fragrant.  We brought the leftovers back to the office and it all disappeared in a not-so-surprisingly quick period of time.  (My office is notorious for loving sweets.)
Love Zam Zam.  I think it's a bit intimidating to walk in by myself, but for that bolani, I would suck it up and do it.  Wait for me, bolani.  Wait for me.
In other news, there's less than one month before my trip to Europe.  Think I can do this?  Can I catch up before I leave?

San Francisco: Chile Pies Baking Co.
T was really, REALLY looking forward to trying Bombay Ice Cream.  For that matter, so was I.  So when we pulled up to the address only to find the place completely cleared out, we were devastated.  Cleared out as in emptied.  No furniture.  No signs.  Nothing.  Not even an ice cream cup.
Dejected, we wandered around for a bit before T rallied and drove us to Chile Pies Baking Co.:
Very woodsy and hipster-y.  Super cute.
Very interesting pie flavors too.  We went with the green chile apple pie with cheddar crust:
The chile was what made the pie.  I wish the cheddar was a bit more noticeable though.
We also selected a Mexican chocolate pie, but we wanted it in a shake:
That's right, a pie shake.  You pick a pie and an ice cream (we went with vanilla) and watch them blend away.  Guh.  So amazing.
To counterbalance all the sweetness, we got the red chili carne asada pot pie:
Flaky crust and yummy filling:
The best thing there was without a doubt the pie shake.  If you don't get anything else, get the shake.  Yes, it's $6, but it's worth it.

San Francisco: Mandalay Restaurant
AF, CL, T, and I originally planned on waking up early and grabbing brunch Sunday morning.  Hah!  We were only fooling ourselves.
What we did instead, was sleep in.  Then we got lunch at Mandalay Restaurant:
According to T, if you want real authentic Burmese food, Mandalay is the place to go.  Even more so than Burma Superstar.  Wut?  This I had to check out.
The decor was quite charming:
Especially the Christmas ornaments.
CL ordered a coconut drink:
We started off with the tea leaf salad or lap pat dok:
Unlike Burma Superstar, the tea leaf salad at Mandalay has no lettuce filler.  No, sirree.
Only Burmese tea leaves, toasted lentil seeds, ground shrimp, fried garlic, peppers, sesame seeds, and peanuts.  Our server barely let me snap a photo before he started mixing everything up:
Crunchy, pungent, and very, very yummy.
My favorite, however, was the fish chowder or moo hin nga:
The fried ground catfish added a crunchy element to the thick chowder.  Love it.
The rainbow salad was a bit less mind-blowing:
I couldn't take a picture pre-mixing because the lady server who brought us the rainbow salad told me no photos allowed in the restaurant.  Which was strange because the man who brought us the tea leaf salad didn't say anything as I took pictures of him merrily mixing away.
Fine then.  I just waited until she left.  (I'm a bad person.  I know.)
The description of the rainbow salad said that it's made of 20 ingredients.  Not sure what those 20 ingredients are, but the dish as a whole was rather tasteless.  Especially when compared to the tea leaf salad and the fish chowder.
Another hit with our group was the Mandalay special noodle:
Again, photo post-mixing.  The flat noodles came with mild coconut chicken, yellow peas powder, lime juice, onion, and fried noodle.  So creamy and delicious.  Coconut is always a plus for me.
I was a bit less excited about the Mandalay eggplant:
Normally, I can't get enough of eggplant.  But this one...meh.  It came fried, but soggy.  I nibbled on a few and then focused my attention back on the fish chowder.
At the end of the meal, we were brought complimentary sweet potato desserts:
Complimentary is always good, though I'm not sure I would ever order this of my own accord.  It's not bad. Just not awesome.
I would definitely choose Mandalay over Burma Superstar.  Less wait, less fuss, and better food to boot.

After reading the first book in this series, Marked (review up: HERE)Puukkojunkkari, actually a name for 19th century thugs in South Ostrobothnia, is a family business in Finland's "puukko making capitol", Kauhava. The owner, Mika Heikkilä, takes a great pride of their name and honor Ostrobothnia's long history of knife making.
The Finnish sheath-knife and its use were traditionally associated with the customs of communities. It became almost a national symbol during the Second World War, when the knife industry flourished. The Härmä (South Ostrobothnian) puukko knife is an important element of local history. The Härmä knife was associated with the history of the "häjyt" or "puukkojunkkarit" (troublemakers) of Härmä, knife fights and the heyday of knife-bearing thugs around the middle of the 19th century.

Author of the idea, performer: Magda Szpecht

VENUE: Arts Printing House, Pocket Hall (Šiltadaržio str. 6, Vilnius)
Magda Szpecht is a young Polish director who decided that the time was not appropriate for art when the war in Ukraine broke out. Having set aside all the art projects and premiers under development, she became what is called an “online elf”. Magda is part of a virtual elven army in which anonymous soldiers fight Russian trolls and propaganda to get real facts about what’s going on through an endless stream of disinformation.
The pandemic has shown that our lives can go on even if we are disembodied. Magda leads us to where the disembodied war is being waged, but both the war itself and its soldiers are real people.
Russia’s disinformation networks found themselves in trouble after the invasion of Ukraine. As the horrors of the conflict unfolded in broad daylight, adapting this discourse to the needs of Kremlin strategists became a daunting task. So in Poland, pro-Russian agitators immediately took action on the Internet with a new strategy: to deter Poles from helping Ukrainian refugeeswave of migrants. In this context, a new type of digital activism has emerged in the country: the so-called “cyber elves”, whose mission is to put Kremlin trolls right back where they belong.
Brave elves destroying crowds of dark trolls in an ideological conflict over future humanity. This is not the beginning of a science fiction novel, it is an accurate description of daily life that responds to realities in cyberspace across Europe. Elves, a group of cyber activists fighting pro-Kremlin propaganda and disinformation campaigns, are still a relatively obscure phenomenon. Starting back in 2014 in Lithuania, the movement of less than 20 people expanded to 13 Central and Eastern European countries, and in 2021 already had about 4,000 volunteers involved.
Russia’s information operations against Western democracy are increasing in number, scale, and complexity. Cyber elves operate anonymously and focus on combating hybrid threats primarily perpetrated by the Kremlin and its agents. These elves are independent of states and government. Their activities are strictly legal: they strongly condemn any form of criminal activity, such as hacking or cyber espionage, and they themselves limit and monitor Russia’s misinformation and people responsible for it, such as the ones we call trolls. Most of the data collected by elves is shared with the public and the media. Elves have developed an international collaboration across Europe that is largely about intelligence and information sharing.
Polish artist Magda Szpecht invites the audience to a lecture-show, in which it will get introduced to the activities of cyber elves.
Magda Szpecht, 32, is one of the first cyber elves in Poland. The theater director and feminism activist discovered this activity during the migration crisis caused by the Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko in the summer of 2021. “It was a moment when real atrocities were approaching our borders and I felt the need to act,” says Magda Szpecht.


Sad story that will end in bright note.... Kevin...you will definitely do it in your next attempt. Why don't you try IE, that will not only kick ur A$$ but butts only to give you your magic number?...enough preaching now back to work. ~Kevin Howard Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 10:12 AM To: ccielab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: comments from 1st time fail well, last week I took my lab and failed. I wasn't sure what to expect, but after many months of studying, I thought I was ready and after reading so many posts, had to face the dragon myself. I realized about 60% of the way through the lab, that my speed wasn't up for configuration and quickly getting to a solution. I found I was too slow at thinking of the commands, the steps, and the process for solving the question. Practice, practice is what I needed more of. I now think that when you read a question you need to have the answer/solution pop into your head naturally like you are taking your next breath. I also fell into the trap of trying to solve questions that were driving me crazy, and I thought to myself "i have to fix this" and I would, but it would take me too long. Strangely enough, taking the lab was kind of a confidence boost, meaning - I am close and can pass it, its doable. An expensive learning lesson, but many doubts about the exam and myself are gone. Back to my ipexpert labs, they kick my a$$, and I know that when they can no longer do that, its time to attempt the lab again. Hope this helps others. * I took the lab in SJ, proctors were great, atmosphere was professional and the whole experience was fine. I got to keep my watch on, although they did check it! and I forgot to scope the watermellon juice.

Use a collective hive mind to decide as a team the best way to work moving forwards that takes everyone’s wellbeing and that of the customers into account.
Contact Associations or Governing Bodies for Advice
Your sector specific associations will have been discussing best practice for reopening for weeks. For example, the National Hairdressing Federation have been advising hairdressers of the potential new guidelines for the last couple of months. Many have put on specific webinars giving expert advice. If you are not a member of your specific trade organisations, it might be a good time to look at the options to join.
Sector specific publications will have written about nothing else during the coronavirus outbreak. Websites and magazines that are specific to your sector will have had journalists writing about the best ways to reopen. Websites like The Morning Advertiser for publicans, the Hairdressers Journal, Fitpro magazineProfessional Beauty for salons and Big Hospitality are just some of the sites for industry specific news. Just ask Google for [your industry] + [industry/trade] + [magazine/news/governing body]. You could also search iTunes or Spotify for industry specific podcasts.

Finally, we address translational strategies currently being considered for neonatal stroke as well as treatments that might effectively enhance repair later after injury.

- JamesAlbany,NYAge: 45-54Gender: male3 Stars Out Of 5Rated G, should be PG, has pros and consNovember 26, 2015JamesAlbany,NYA 3On the negative side, the film has some mild bad language (two instances, one in a song and not easily heard) and a sequence that was not in the original dickens story: scrooge is cast into his own grave and descends to a comic satire of "Hell". he is metshown his fate of being subjected to slaving personal secretary of Lucifer (not shown in the sequence), much the same way as he had oppressed Bob Cratchit. the producers make the Marley character somewhat a comical satire throughout. the problem with the sequence of "Hell" is that this, as have many other expressions of "Hell" in modern media, do not express the Biblical reality of eternal separation from our Creator. this is no laughing matter.
the original 'a Christmas Carol' story is an encouragement to turn from ignoring the poor and love all people, and dickens seemed to purposely avoid theology. the makers of Scrooge interpose on that realm, making a mild mockery of it, as is the custom in recent decades. Biblical reality is none the less true and we would be best to present it as it is or not at all.
that said, the production, directing, acting, musical score , dance choreography, and production design (you feel like you're there in 1860 England) are all excellent and show the genius of Leslie Bricusse, who wrote music for the original Willy Wonka film, as well. had the bad language and "Hell" sequence been left out, this would have been one of the best productions in recent memory for family viewing. as it is, it is very entertaining, but is not for children and adults need the above precautions. may you all have a blessed Holiday Season and i wish you all much wisdom from the Lord in film choices for your family viewing. : )


Because there was LOVE involved with this person (the Narcissist,) we believe that they could have NEVER committed the atrocities that stand before us!Love is a VERY strong emotional attachment!It is virtually impossible to TRULY accept the hideous reality that the person who claimed to be the love of your life, or a parent, brother/sister, or even your loving best friend is actually a Malignant Narcissist that ABUSES you. No way, this was the real thing, this person totally LOVED you and you loved them. It was SO REAL and you just can’t ascertain that someone could be that adept at conning you into LOVING them and then being so toxic in your life!You try to justify this over and over again and you keep returning to this powerful emotion that you shared reciprocal LOVE with your Narcissist. Yes you do feel love because you are NORMAL and can love – but that is all you are feeling the love YOU have for THEM!
You have to think back and recall just how uneasy you felt in this relationship, how YOU were continually accepting the negativity that always seemed to be present when you were together. Think about the lies, betrayal, put downs and so many other things that just weren’t normal to a loving relationship. You worked your hardest at rationalizing and justifying this LOVE and continually tried to fix this distorted relationship (love) rather than accepting the truth from your intuition shouting out at you. You STILL keep justifying that it was love and you must have overlooked something or other that could have fixed everything!WHO was making you try so hard to fix this?Who was telling you everything was wrong and it was YOUR fault?Who never put an effort into allowing you to voice normal concerns?Who silenced you over and over again and why?The truth is that this could never have turned out any different than what it did because it was meant to be temporary!What about the new supply and how quickly this Narcissist JUMPED right into that relationship!Where is/was the love that you kept fighting for?It was NEVER there in the first place!
Then ask yourself how many times you had to reassure yourself that everything WOULD be OK if you did this, that or any number of different things!Also the many important ‘personal’ things concerning your needs that were always dismissed to make and keep this Narcissist happy and it was NEVER enough. How many times were you so confused about crazy statements, arguments, accountability, or the many lies that you probably justified or ignored?What about affairs?Were there any or many?Did you always feel as if you had to explain yourself for most everything you did or said no matter what?Did you feel any sense of normalcy with this person after the ‘amazing love’ in the beginning?Did you feel like parts of your life had mysteriously disappeared and it isn’t the same as it used to be. You always felt so frustrated in general, confused, anxious, you felt tired or exhausted from day after day of arguments that had no basis, and just the general feeling of unhappiness. Or maybe you feel shabby about yourself or worthless. Is it a feeling like things have spun out of control in your life and you are WONDERING WHY this has happened!You haven’t done anything different than you have in the past (as it concerned your previous ‘normal’ relationships,) but YOU are always working on something or other to get this relationship right!What is the coefficient here?Where is the distress AND stress coming from?Why do you always feel so ANXIOUS and CONFUSED?
I think most of us know the root of the problem, but trying to get past the emotional stronghold has been the problem and what kept us believing in the huge lie we were living. Through all of this we twisted and tweaked our thoughts so much so that we were able to justify most everything in a manner that made us change our behaviors and basic beliefs to meet the needs of this Narcissist so we could keep believing in what we were conned into believing – this love. We believed that WE could change things to make this relationship right again – but who was telling us to change and WHY?We took charge of trying to make things right and make changes!We ACCEPTED the blame that was handed to us. We accepted silence to avoid arguments. We accepted lies to avoid hearing the truth. We possibly believed that more LOVE would heal!Was it love that would heal this?Just exactly what WAS this love?Was it totally one sided?Could you even ascertain what this relationship was OR were you always wondering?

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Sitting in his hotel suite just a few miles from the beach, on the top floor of the Hilton Los Angeles/University City Hotel, Walter Lybeck used a surfing analogy to describe the unprecedented success of the Point S USA dealer cooperative in 2017.
"We made a big wave with Point S, and you got to paddle to stay on that wave, or you lose that wave," Mr. Lybeck, the Point S USA CEO, said, a smile breaking over his face.
Point S, the marketing group with locations mainly in the Pacific Northwest, celebrated wave after wave of success over the last 12 months during its annual owners meetings, held Feb. 22-24 at the Hilton Universal and nearby Universal Studios Hollywood amusement park.group's annual owners conference — or about 80 percent of all Point S dealers — a trade show featuring more than 50 vendors.

2015-2016 Boys team strength across WA clubs
This is an update to two other posts I did on the strength of different club teams in WA and how team strength changes with age.  Read those for background on this post.
The plots break out the team strength (of the strongest team for each age from U12 to U18) by individual club.  This gives an overview of the types of teams different clubs produce, what strength their A teams tends to be at, and whether the club fields teams at every age.  The dashed black lines are the strengths of the B teams, so you can see which clubs have A and B teams.
The red line is the median strength of the top teams at age in Seattle United, Crossfire Premier, Washington Premier FC, and Eastside FC. The are the four largest and strongest clubs in Washington and consistently produce a top 4 team across most every age. The dotted-red line is a strength -2 below the top team (or -200 on new scaling). The predicted goal ratio in a match-up between a team on the red line and one on the dotted red line is 4, so 4-1 or 8-2. So the red line team is heavily expected to win, but it would not be a complete blow-out. The green line is the median across all the top teams from every select club in Washington, except those top 4.
B03 at far left, B97 at far right.
1pt difference is about the length of this hyphen - on this graph. Yes, small. Being 1 full pt stronger = scoring 2x as rapidly so is a significant advantage. So being on the green line versus slightly above it indicates a big difference in strength. The red line teams score about 20-30x more rapidly than the green line teams.  This means that by the time the green line team scores once (on average), the red line team could have scored 20-30 times.
The first plot shows 2013-2014 versus 2015-2016 for 16 clubs (all clubs shown in the next plots).  The 2013-2014 clubs were chosen because they have teams at each age U12-U18 and have B teams at most ages too.   The 2015-2016 clubs were chose to match those from 2013-2014.  The red line is the median strength of WPFC, EFC, xFire, and SU A teams.
Generally speaking the patterns have stayed similar.  SU's plots in particular look similar.  Crossfire has some interesting variation now between A and B teams with many B teams close to the A team strength.  That wasn't apparent 2 years ago.  Eastside's A teams seem to have gotten more consistent but their B teams have dropped down to the green line.  SSC Shadow A teams have become more consistent, i.e. no much weaker age groups.  The other smaller RCL clubs remained fairly similar: they still show variation in strength across ages and gaps in B team coverage.  There are 3 non-WYS clubs listed which field teams at all ages and B teams at many ages: ISC, ECFC, Pacific FC.  ISC has gone down in strength with its top teams no longer above the dashed red line, but it filled in gaps and has fairly consistent strength across ages.  ECFC also dropped in strength to the green line, but filled in age gaps and smoothed out variation among the ages.  Similarly Pacific FC filled in missing ages and increased the number of B teams.


Battlefield 3: The Deciding Fight is the fifth big addition to the popular shooting from EA DICE Studio, Battlefield 3. First of all, it puts the emphasis on a dynamic fight.
Battlefield 3: End Game is the fifth and last big paid addition to excellent FPP shooter, Battlefield 3, developed by the Swedish studio, EA DICE. The Battlefield series, characterized by huge maps and the ability to control various vehicles, for many years enjoyed a great reputation among the fans of multiplayer FPSs. Like the previous DLCs, End Game focuses on a specific aspect of battle. This time those are the elements ensuring a dynamic game.
In accordance to the tradition, the players receive four new maps. As the decisive End Game puts an emphasis on fast action, they weref this add-on. Thos who enjoy extensive maps, which we get used to, will not be disappointed, however. The dynamics of the battles were achieved not by reducing areas of the game, but mainly through the introduction of new means of transport – motorbikes. They are the most important novelty in End Game. Motorbikes prove to be useful not only in reaching the center of the battle, but also offer the opportunity to simultaneously move and shoot. Apart from that, the addition offers a light AA vehicle and a transport plane which quickly provides new equipment to the battlefield.
End Game provides also an additional game mode – Capture the Flag. The task of the players, divided into two competing teams, is to get the enemy flag and safely transfer it to their own base while protecting their own flag. The very foundation of this mode fits perfectly with the new, fast action-oriented addition. This mode is well known to the lovers of all sorts of multiplayer shooters, although the Battlefield series has not given the player many opportunities for this type of fun so far.

Why Are Women Being Left Out Of Climate Decision-Making? By Elizabeth Becker & Suzanne Ehlers 10 March, 2010
Uns. T Th Le. We also know that women are frequently the decision-makers about household consumption, and represent an increasing share of wealth around the world. By leaving their voices out of the critical tasks before this advisory group, the secretary-general is closing out opportunities to explore the widest possible range of creative and innovative sources of revenue on the scale that is needed to address climate change.
T... co-chairs of the advisory group can correct this by expanding the membership of the group to include meaningful representation of female officials before the group’s first meeting in London at the end of the month.

Like many organizations operating across far-flung locales, Baulderstone relies upon a wide area network (WAN) that keeps its 1,500 employees working from offices and construction sites connected with company applications. "Our biggest challenge," says Baulderstone's IT infrastructure manager, Ian Newby, "was the time taken to replicate the contents of our operational data center in Adelaide to our disaster recovery facility, which is 1,400 kilometers away in Sydney," he says in a press release.
Baulderstone tried to fix the problem by upgrading its WAN, but it still did not deliver the performance the company needed, Newby says. As a result, the company began researching WAN optimization products. Riverbed was one of four WAN optimization providers Baulderstone reviewed.
Since the deployment, Baulderstone has achieved positive results. Total data replication times were reduced by 67 percent, from 30 minutes to 10 minutes, Riverbed says. What's more, Baulderstone has cut its WAN bandwidth usage in half, which has saved the company a "significant" amount of money. At the current rate, Baulderstone will achieve a return on investment (ROI) in 14 months, four months earlier than Riverbed typically claims.
"A large portion of our IT costs relate to WAN connectivity," Newby says. "Riverbed has helped us to drastically reduce these costs, and at the same time dramatically improve performance."

While the latter two movies try to wring nervous, gross-out laughs from bodily horror, the dark side of virus fear shows up more frequently, such as in the virulent black-oil virus of "The X-Files," the ghastly Ebola epidemic in "Outbreak," the flukelike, mind-controlling parasites from another planet in the 1998 film "The Faculty" and the microbe-caused, mutated monstrosities in the PlayStation games Extermination, Parasite Eve and Resident Evil.
On the literary front, Robert Ludlum's recent thriller "The Hades Factor" centers on a plot by a drug company CEO to create a deadly epidemic. "Mutant," a new book by Peter Clement, concerns a deadly epidemic created by terrorists, while" revisits the horrors of medieval pestilence.
Inspiring this cultural anxiety are real fears: the AIDS virus, germ warfare, biological terrorism, foot-and-mouth disease, the West Nile virus and bizarre new antibiotic-resistant supergerms. Paul Ewald's recent book "Plague Time" argues convincingly that diseases once linked with genes and environmental pollution -- like cancer and heart disease -- may be attributed to pathogens. Carl Zimmer, in his 2001 book "Parasite Rex," shines a light on the body-consuming pervasiveness of parasitic invaders.
Bomb tests, American/Soviet saber rattling, wailing air raid sirens and duck-and-cover nuclear holocaust exercises generated a paranoid atmosphere that pervaded American culture beyond sci-fi B-movies. Books, essays, television shows and prestigious films explored the medical, psychological and ethical implications of nuclear weapons.
During the era of bomb terror, ancient fears of disease lessened as science conquered one plague after another, including smallpox and the childhood scourge polio. Only a few movies dealt with the epidemic issue. The earliest such movie -- Elia Kazan's taut 1950 noir drama "Panic in the Streets" -- centers on a manhunt for two gangsters infected with pneumonic plague. John Sturges' 1965 suspense gem "The Satan Bug" shows the nerve-racking chase of a lunatic who has stolen flasks of a deadly virus. In both films, the epidemic threat remained unrealized.
