Condensing everything that's good about the bigger Google Home into a small pin-cushion-like speaker works great, but it won't blow you away for music
শীর্ষক এই নিবন্ধটি "Google হোম মিনি পর্যালোচনা: একটি উজ্জ্বল সামান্য £ 50 ভয়েস সহায়ক স্পিকার" স্যামুয়েল গিবস দ্বারা লিখিত হয়, for theguardian.com on Thursday 26th October 2017 06.00 ইউটিসি
Google Home Mini is the company's new smart speaker that shrinks down all the intelligence into a cheaper, smaller package.
The Home Mini joins last year's Home and the upcoming Home Max smart speakers housing the Google Assistant, the voice assistant housed in most Android smartphones that has access to your Google profile and its various bits of information.
এটা কি?
Google Home Mini is a wifi-connected smart speaker that looks like a small fabric-covered pin cushion. It comes in a grey, black or coral with a colour-matched plastic base and rubber foot to keep it from sliding about when you prod it.
There is a row of four LEDs in the top that light up when you speak to it or adjust the volume. They're simple and easy to understand, lighting up red when muted, but are difficult to see from across the room.
এটার কাজ কি?
The Home Mini basically does everything the full-sized Google Home does, just in a smaller package with a much smaller speaker.
It'll answer questions, set timers and alarms, play music, read the news or information from the web, and control a relatively large collection of smart home devices such as Hue lights. It can also read out your next appointment if you've got your life plugged into Google services and give you traffic updates on your commute.
এটা কিভাবে কাজ করে?
All you have to do once set up using the Google Home app on an Android or iOS device is say the wake words: "ঠিক আছে, Google" or the easier to say "Hey Google". Assistant will then wait for your command or question.
Google Assistant is better than any other voice assistant at recognising what you're trying to say, even if you've garbled the question.
Home Mini is capable of hearing you over fairly loud noises, such as the a cooker hood going full blast, but struggles a little when it is playing music at full volume. At volume level 10 you can hear it over the sound of a loud washing machine in the kitchen. I wouldn't call it room-filling sound but it's still fairly loud and clear when maxed out.
It won't replace a good Bluetooth or wireless speaker as there's no real bass and the treble can be a little harsh, but is much louder than Amazon's similar Echo Dot smart puck. I was quite impressed.
You can set the Home Mini to always play music out of a Google Cast-enabled speaker or the Chromecast Audio dongle, but cannot link it to a Bluetooth speaker. You can use the Home Mini as a Bluetooth speaker, কিন্তু.
You can control the volume by asking for a particular level from zero to 10, asking Assistant to turn it up or down, or by tapping on the left or right side of the little puck.
Taps have to be more deliberate than for a smartphone screen, but it works fairly well. To mute the microphone you have to slide a switch on the back of the speaker which is a bit awkward and is easier if you just pick the thing up. You can't do it via voice anymore.
- If two Google Home products can hear you, only the closest responds despite both activating
- Alarms sound on one Home unit only if you have more than one
- It comes with a microUSB power adapter
- Google Assistant can ring your phone if you've lost it, even if you've got more than one linked to your Google account
- Keeping the fabric dome clean will need a vacuum cleaner
- There's no 3.5mm or Bluetooth audio output
- You can control videos on a Chromecast or Cast-enabled TV
- There's still no support for G Suite accounts, only personal Google accounts
The Google Home Mini costs £49, while the original larger Google Home costs £129.
তুলনা করার জন্য, Amazon's Home Mini competitor the Echo Dot costs £49.99 যখন 2017 Amazon Echo costs £90.
The Google Home Mini is all the functionality of a full-sized Google Home shrunk into a small fabric-covered pin cushion.
It doesn't sound as good, and isn't as loud, as the bigger Home, but sounds better and is louder than Amazon's Echo Dot.
It's a great little smart speaker giving access to a world of information through Google Assistant, while playing music and controlling the odd smart home device, if you're OK with the privacy implications of having a voice-controlled speaker in your home.
It works best if you're plugged into Google's ecosystem, but at £50 the Home Mini is a great little thing to have about the house.
পেশাদাররা: full Google Assistant, relatively discreet, Bluetooth in, sounds decent for a small speaker, relatively loud, can hear you very well
কনস: no 3.5mm jack or Bluetooth out, fabric could get dirty in a kitchen, LEDs a bit dim to see from across the room

Pilates Services Offered
- Modern Pilates
- Small Group Beginner / Pain Management Classes
- Intermediate – Advanced Pilates Classes
- Personal Training & Bespoke Exercise Programs
About me …
I first became interested in Pilates over twenty years ago. I had sustained a back injury during the birth of my first child, the injury was so severe that I had to have physiotherapy to learn how to walk again. Even after intensive physiotherapy and massage I still had a lot of pain, so I decided I had to do something to help myself! I discovered Pilates and quickly noticed if I did certain exercises regularly I could manage my pain much more effectively.
I then decided to study exercise for the management of lower back pain and whilst attending this course I experienced what I refer to as an "episode" (this is where my back pain flares up and my spine becomes particularly painful and tender). I followed the exercises given to me, and after a couple days my back was a lot better.
I continued to exercise on a regular basis at the gym and when I was 40 I set a goal to run the Great North run, I recruited a personal trainer and that's when exercise got serious for me! I completed the run in 2004, and afterwards I started to retrain as a Personal Trainer. By 2006 I was a fully qualified Personal Trainer and teaching 11 aerobic classes a week.
Does it work?
I fully believe that the right training coupled with complimentary treatments can allow you to minimise pain. I have found from personal experience that the appropriate exercises combined with Osteopathy treatments has helped no end, and today I am relatively pain free."
My Qualifications
Level 4- Certificate in Exercise for the Management of Lower Back Pain
Level 3- Modern Pilates Instructor Including Modules In
- Spinal Conditions
- Diagnostic Pilates – The Spine

Wright Foundation Exercise Referral
In 2010 my back was starting to trouble me again, it was particularly bad when I rested, yet moving was also painful, I also found it was effecting my sleep. I took additional courses in exercise for the management of lower back pain and Modern Pilates.

Hello, friend!
My name is Victoria! I love coffee, chocolate, sushi, and Thai food. Almost as much as I love finding new, hole-in-the-wall places to enjoy any of those things.
My passion for ministry was cultivated through years of involvement at CrossRoads Camp and Conference Center, where I led worship and mentored teenagers through the Leader in Training program. I moved to Richmond in 2018 to find new ministry opportunities, and I am beyond grateful that God brought me to Gayton Baptist Church!

Seven Germans down with the flu
Seven Germany players are suffering mild flu symptoms ahead of the quarter-final match against France tonight, coach Joachim Loew said yesterday in a German radio interview without identifying the players.
"Seven players have somehow come down with slight cases of the flu," Loew was quoted telling Germany's ARD radio.
He said that most had "throat aches" but did not reveal their names.
"As a result, it's too early to make any final decisions about the line-up," Loew added.
Defender Mat Hummels missed Germany's Round of 16 match against Algeria on Tuesday due to a fever.He said on yesterday he had recovered and posted a picture of himself sitting on the beach. - Reuters.
Germany have lost more World Cup finals than any other nation. They lost finals in 1966, 1982, 1986 and 2002. They have advanced to football's showpiece match as many times as Brazil, seven. But Brazil have five titles to Germany's two.

If it's actions appall the majority, what of the high levels of support for ISIS in France?
Reader comment on item: ISIS Justifies Its Yazidi Slaves
Submitted by Anon. (Israel), Oct 16, 2014 at 22:38
Though the figures of 1 in 6 people in France (meaning all its Muslims and then some) seem too high to be credible, it obviously does command a great deal of support amongst Muslims.
Perhaps you mean they're favorably disposed towards it just so long as it doesn't control them. That would make some sense. It seems to me that ultimately they just find it hard to condemn any group that invokes Islam and fights for Islam no matter what it does but perhaps you have another explanation.

Daniel Pipes replies:
1. That ICM survey bewilders me. In more detail:
The Washington Institute for Near Eastern Policy published a poll day showing 5, 3, and 0% support for ISIS in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Lebanon, respectively.
Two months earlier, ICM Research conducted a poll for Rossiya Segodnya showing 15, 7, and 2% support for ISIS in France, the UK, and Germany, respectively.
Is this possible? Can ISIS really be three times more popular among post-Christian West Europeans than among solidly Muslim Middle Easterners?
2. Even if the ICM poll were correct, 85% is certainly a majority.

Emma Watson's upcoming role in the live-action Beauty and the Beast has had many Disney fans unbearably excited since its announcement, and it seems as though there is no end to the awesomeness surrounding this movie.
Just days ago, Disney released a recording of Watson singing the familiar tune, "Something There," that will be featured in the movie. The actress sings a lovely rendition that you can't help but have on repeat, despite the fact that it is only 30 seconds long.
Not only does Watson display a knack for acting and singing, but her talents span into the realm of behind the scenes work for this particular film. In fact, she has been working closely with the costume designer on the many fabulous outfits she will don, specifically expressing interest in the classic yellow dress her character wears when Belle and the Beast finally begin to fall in love.
Though we have known her primarily as an actress for years, Watson has shown us that there is even more to her. This is an empowering message for all women, who can see the extent of her talent that reaches far beyond what most expect of her. In this way, we think Watson's ability to surprise us makes her even more of a badass.
As Watson helped design the gown, her main concern was to ensure that it had a full range of motion. A large component of this goal was her insistence that the dress did not include a corset.
Corsets, while growing in popularity today, were a common fashion piece in the nineteenth century. The main function of a corset is to accentuate a woman's figure, thus it does not take movement or activity into account. The corset itself is an accurate representation of the role of women in the 19th century and, to some extent, today. The value of a woman is often seen in her looks rather than what she is capable of physically or mentally. Corsets contribute to this mindset in their restrictive design.
Watson refused the corset in her attempts to redefine her character. In the original movie, Belle was portrayed, like other Disney princesses, primarily as an object of desire. She was given fairly little agency and action in the movie, which is something Watson sought to change in the revival. Because of this goal, a corset would be simply impractical to the direction of the film and to Watson's own ideology.
Watson's adherence to her beliefs is something that not only empowers herself, but also plays a large role in empowering all women. Watson serves as an example for women everywhere to stick to their standards and to define themselves not in terms of their physical appearances, but instead in terms of their value as individuals.
If you weren't planning on seeing the movie before, we hope Watson's spunk will convince you otherwise as she continues to break down gender stereotypes, one song or costume at a time.

LOS ANGELES: Academy award winning 3D sci-fi epic "Avatar" will be re-released worldwide with never seen before footage on Aug 27. Director James Cameron's says he is doing so at public's behest.
"Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora and wished they could have stayed there longer. So we're making that possible," said Cameron in a press satatement.
Titled "Avatar: Special Edition", it is an exclusive for Digital 3D and IMAX 3D and will be released in limited theatres worldwide.
" 'Avatar: Special Edition' will be exclusively in 3D and will have eight minutes of never before seen footage, including new creatures and action scenes. Whether you already love the movie or you've never seen it, with this special edition you'll be seeing it like never before," said Cameron.
Produced by 20th Century Fox at a whopping $230-million (Rs.1,200-crore) budget, it became the highest grossing film of all time, earning over $2.7 billion at the worldwide box office when released on Dec 18 last year. It is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time.
The makers are also optimistic about a positive response from India, where "Avatar" crossed the Rs.1 billion mark in five weeks. It released here in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
"The re-release of 'Avatar' along with the additional footage will enable millions of Indians to once again experience the magic of the film in 3D. And with the significant growth of 3D screens over the last six months, we are excited that 'Avatar' will also reach out to new audiences in 3D across many more centres around the country," said Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios India.
"Avatar" was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director and won three, for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Art Direction.
Starring Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldana, the movie depicts the story of a wounded ex-marine thrust unwillingly into an effort to exploit an exotic moon rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival.

7 Beauty Hacks You Need To Know
Posted by Rachael Phillips on 21st May 2014
We've blogged about making life easier in the beauty stakes before but now we've done the research and want to share with you 7 beauty hacks that will change your life!
Make Your Own Dry Shampoo - If you've run out of dry shampoo but you need to revitalise your greasy locks fast - then don't worry. If you've any talcum powder to hand, just squeeze a little out, tip your head upside down and work through your hair.
Want to quickly rid yourself of a shiny face? Well reach for your hand sanitiser. There's an ingredient in there called dimethicone which is a type of silcone. What that does is acts as a primer and smoothes the skin.
Got a spot? Put down the paper bag and head for the fridge. Dab some FULL FAT Greek yogurt on the zit and leave it dry (around 5 minutes or so). Then rinse with warm water. It reduces the redness and the swelling. It works because the lactic acid helps unblock the pores and gets rid of the dead skin whilst the fat moisturises.
Dandruff? Crush two aspirin and add them to your shampoo. The aspirin will get rid of the product build up and remove dead skin cells.
Give oil pulling a whirl. You may have heard of this (especially since coconut oil is the next big thing) but oil pulling is an Ayurvedic ritual that can really transform your health (and your pearly whites). Just swish a teaspoon of coconut oil around your mouth every morning and you'll find that your teeth are whiter and it'll get rid of any nasty cavities.
Want to get rid of puffy eyes? Late nights and partying can result in puffy eyes but by placing some tea bags over the eyelids for just 10 minutes you'll be rid of them in no time.
The best place to apply perfume. If you think that your wrists and neck are the best place for your to wear your scent then think again. For a long lasting smell apply your perfume: behind your ear, inside your elbow or behind your knees.

Follows the departure of Erwin Houtenbrink, Ludmila Cvikova and Irma Dulmers.
The International Film Festival Rotterdam has appointed two new festival programmers to join its 10-person programming team. Inge de Leeuw (from The Netherlands) will select films from the English-speaking world and Evgeny Gusyatinskiy (from Russia) will select films from Russia, Central and Eastern Europe.
This follows the departure of three veteran Rotterdam programmers: Erwin Houtenbrink, Ludmila Cvikova (who has now joined the Doha Film Institute), and Irma Dulmers.
Festival director Rutger Wolfson said of the new appointments: "Having contributed vigorously to the success and character of the IFFR for many years, programmers Erwin Houtenbrink, Ludmila Cvikova and Irma Dulmers have left the festival. The enormous range of films on offer and the vast worldwide network of filmmakers and producers with which the festival, the Hubert Bals Fund and CineMart maintain contact make a strong programming team more than essential. I am therefore delighted to welcome Inge and Evgeny as IFFR programmers."
Inge de Leeuw started working at IFFR's programme department for the 2006 festival, while also working in film production. In 2010 and 2011, she worked as assistant programmer and producer of commissioned works in IFFR 'Where is Africa?' section. For IFFR 2011, she curated the Out of Fashion programme on film and fashion (which later travelled elsewhere). She writes about film and technology for the Creators Project. She will be selecting films for the IFFR from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand as well as for the Tiger Competition.
Evgeny Gusyatinskiy has worked as a film critic and journalist for a range of Russian media. He is an editor of Film Art, the oldest film magazine in Europe. He has been visiting the IFFR since 2005, when he was part of the IFFR's Young Film Critics Project. He has programmed for the Kinotavr festival in Sochi since 2006 and also works with the Pioiner Cinema in Moscow.
The team of programmers will now have the following updated research areas: Chinlin Hsieh (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and French-speaking Canada, Tiger competition); Gertjan Zuilhof (North and Southeast Asia excluding China and Korea, Central and Southern Africa, Tiger Competition). The rest of the Rotterdam programming team is: Edwin Carels (Theme sections, arts installations, Signals: Regained); Peter van Hoof (Short films; India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka); Dicky Parlevliet (General with focus on France); Gerwin Tamsma (China, Korea, Spain, Latin-America, Portugal, Scandinavia, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Tiger Awards Competition); and Wolfson (General, Netherlands, Tiger Awards Competition).
There will be a programmer to be announced concentrating on Turkey and the Arabic world.
IFFR's short films are selected by a committee of seven: Sacha Bronwasser, Erwin van 't Hart, Peter van Hoof (Chair), Juliette Jansen, Peter Taylor, and Theus Zwakhals.
The 41st IFFR will run Jan 25 to Feb 5.

Kit Wallen Russell, Co-Founder and R&D Director, JooMo
With a Masters Degree in Geophysics from University College London (UCL), five-time published scientific author, and JooMo Co-Founder Kit published a peer-reviewed paper in 2017 that describes the first ever mechanism to determine whether skin is healthy or not. As director of the Pavane Research Centre (the R&D arm behind all ground-breaking JooMo technology), he discovered that the ONLY indicator of healthy skin was high microbial biodiversity, not the presence/lack of particular microbes. The immense power of his discovery meant that, for the first time, it was possible to determine whether everyday cosmetics really are the primary cause of the skin allergy epidemic that's raging across the western world. To do so, Kit formed a partnership with top European institution, The Medical University of Graz, to test everyday cosmetics, including JooMo, for their effect on skin health, and found that they were a contributor to long-term damage to the skin microbiome. Kit's mission is "to clear up the confusion in the natural cosmetics industry so that consumers can make an informed judgement, and start a new movement for Third Wave truly natural cosmetics that are health bringing by focusing on restoring your skin's microbiome. This will revolutionize and transform the marketplace and start to put an end to the Skin Allergy Epidemic."

At last…. the construction is over and 800 north is wide open. Great Mexican food is waiting for you at Milagros in Orem.
It's been a long year. Road construction has been going on in one form or another for a long time. It was frustrating to see… days on end… when there were no construction workers working on the road right next to Milagros. My complaints fell upon deaf ears. In the night, we would try moving those blasted orange cones around so folks could get into our place.
Sure enough… a couple of days later… they would be back… blocking easy access to Milagros and other businesses on our corner. After while it became a game.

THE National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration Control (NAFDAC), was on Monday, placed under lock and keys with heavy presence of police operatives guarding entrance to the premises.
On a visit to the agency on Monday, the building was completely deserted with only NAFDAC's security officials loitering around the premises.
A source, who spoke with Nigerian Tribune on conditions of anonymity said the premises had been under lock and keys since last week by the agency union.
He explained that the workers were currently on strike over poor welfare and some demands which were not met by the government.
He, however, did not go into details of these demands.
Meanwhile, efforts to reach the Director of Special Duties, Mr.Ibrahim Abubakar, was futile but when the agency's Public Relations Officer, Mr. William Irekpita, was contacted, he declined to comments on the development.
He said that the headquarters had been under lock since last week, adding that the staff were on strike.
On reasons for the strike, he simply said: "No, I cannot make any comment on that."

Basic information about potteries
Earthenware vs. porcelain
Potteries are roughly classified into earthenware and porcelain.
The main difference resides in the raw materials: earthenware is made of clay, while porcelain is made from powdered stone mixed with clay. Because of the difference in raw materials, they have different properties and require different handling.
Since earthenware absorbs water, extra care is necessary before and after using it.
Before using:
Soak the earthenware in water for 30 minutes. This makes it less absorbent of water or oil.
After using:
Clean the earthenware as soon as possible, and dry it thoroughly before putting it in a cupboard.
Since porcelains do not absorb water and are relatively shock-resistant, you don't need to take extra care. However, do not heat porcelains with painted decorations, or with gold/silver decorations in either a microwave oven or a gas oven.

With more and more hotels looking to upgrade their aesthetics to stay on-trend, there is less time spent on actually going in person to procure decor. Contrary to popular belief, a well crafted, creatively executed interior can be just what a hotel needs to convert a casual guest into a lifelong customer.
The Importance of a Good Design
Your hotel's interior design is as important to your image as your website. After all, it is the first thing people see when they arrive at your location. You don't want to present an image that looks like you decorated your lobby and rooms from IKEA. Your interior, just like your greeting leaves an important first impression that clients will use to determine if they want to return to your hotel in the future.
The World Under Your Feet
It may surprise you to know just how much attention people pay to what's under their feet. A welcoming rug or carpet in the lobby can create a sense of safety and calm while a thick plush carpet in a hotel room can create a feeling of luxury and relaxation. Populating your hotel with quality flooring and matching colors is a great way to create the aesthetic and atmosphere you desire.
Make Them Stay
The interior of an establishment also speaks volumes about its owner and his/her attitude towards hospitality. Comfortable seats are probably the best way to say "welcome" once they've decided to be your patrons. Seating them at a neat table with smooth edges and offering them chairs that are built for their "nether place" contours is probably the equivalent of the "sirens" singing to Odysseus – totally irresistible!
Get The Help You Need
To help you stand out from the crowd of ordinary hotels, you need a design that will make your business rise above the rest. If you are in hospitality it is even more important to pay attention to the small details that will make it all come together. When you work with an interior designer, they are sure to help you find a color combination that speaks to you that can be paired with any design for stunning results.
Making the Choice
Choosing the hotel flooring is an art in itself. It's an interior designer's most daunting ensemble element because it comes into direct contact with potential customers. People won't hang around if the flooring is jarring and visually displeasing. Your choice of hotel interior design could be the making or breaking of your business. Therefore, choose well, and keep those factors in mind that will affect your clientele.

The Customs Code entered into force in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union on January 1, 2018. The document is valid for a week. But a few people in Kyrgyzstan know what to expect from it. 24.kg news agency compiled the main innovations that the Code introduced.
How Kyrgyzstan disgraced itself
A scandal accompanied adoption of the Customs Code in Kyrgyzstan. It all started back in December 2016. During the summit of the heads of EEU states, it was first reported that Kyrgyzstan had not signed the Customs Code. However, a little later the Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Board Tigran Sargsyan stated that Kyrgyzstan still signed the document.
In April 2017, first the prime ministers, and then the presidents of EEU countries, confirmed that the Customs Code of EEU would enter into force on January 1, 2018. The countries of the Union decided to synchronize the process of ratifying the document for this.
As a result, the government of Kyrgyzstan submitted the Customs Code of EEU for ratification to the Parliament only at the end of October 2017. The deputies adopted the document in the first reading only on November 30, 2017. Further voting for the document lasted too long. The deputies approved the Code in the final third reading only on December 27, 2017.
But there were difficulties. President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbai Jeenbekov imposed a veto on the document and returned it to the Parliament. It turned out that the deputies passed the bill with the wording that would come into force 15 days after signing by the head of state. Deputies had to meet for an extraordinary meeting on the last working day of 2017 in order to adopt a new version of the law on ratification of the agreement on EEU.
Sooronbai Jeenbekov signed the law on ratification of the Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union on December 30, 2017. Kyrgyzstan was the last country of the Union, which approved the document.
The deputies considered that the government was to blame for the error in the terms of entry into force of the Customs Code. Deputy Iskhak Masaliev demanded to consider the responsibility of the Prime Minister for «the political mistake.»
The head of the Cabinet, Sapar Isakov, did not wait for reprimand from the deputies. By order of the Prime Minister, the reprimand was issued to the Minister of Economy Artem Novikov, the Chairman of the State Customs Service Kubanychbek Kulmatov. The Deputy Minister of Economy Bakkeldi Tyumenbaev and Deputy Chairman of the State Customs Service Zamirbek Niyazaliev got severe reprimands.
A number of employees of the government's executive office were dismissed for improper execution of duties. Sanzhar Umetaliev was relieved of his duties as a representative of Kyrgyzstan in EEU.
Why do we need a new Code?
According to the statement of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the Customs Code takes into account 70 percent of business proposals. The document includes all the existing rules and regulations concerning the work of the customs in the countries of the Union. This should greatly simplify the doing business procedure. All the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union have single norms and rules now.
«The Customs Code of EEU is a fundamental set of rules for regulating foreign economic activity for all the five countries. This is one of the main results of our work in 2017,» Tigran Sargsyan, Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), told reporters.
The main difference between the new Customs Code and its previous version is that it is completely focused on electronic technologies.
Many processes will be automated, and communication of entrepreneurs and customs officers will be minimized. The Code introduces such a concept as «electronic declaration». The EEC is sure that this will reduce corruption risks, transaction costs and speed up the work of the customs services.
The time of registration of a declaration will be reduced twice, and the time of release of goods — six times.
The main advantage is that the new customs legislation will relieve the participants of foreign economic activity from the necessity to obligatory submit documents to the customs authority based on which the electronic declaration was filled. They must be submitted only in cases when the risk profiles of the information system, not of a customs officer, are activated.
«Single window» mechanism for customs procedures is also stipulated. Ideally, it is planned that a businessperson submits a declaration in electronic format via the Internet and his problems end there. Supervisory authorities themselves conduct further inspection. One does not need to go to customs officers, veterinarians, phytosanitary services and so on with the same set of documents.
«We offer the business clear and stable rules — a set of rules that will allow each entrepreneur to make necessary economic calculations in advance with the confidence that the rules will not suddenly change when the cargo is brought into the customs territory of EEU,» Tigran Sargsyan concluded.
Online purchases not limited so far
At most, the new Customs Code actually concerns the business. Exactly the entrepreneurs trade, transport products across customs borders. They will be the first to assess how successful the document turned out to be.
However, there is also a section that is interesting to a wide circle of people. It is about online trading.
When discussing the document, possible restrictions of purchases on foreign websites made a lot of noise. After a wave of indignation, the initiators decided to keep the current norms of duty-free import of goods — up to €1,000. And it's not one purchase, but the total value of all purchases for the month. But this is only for 2018.
In 2019, fans of overseas shopping will have to limit appetites. The amount of the duty-free import threshold will be reduced to €500.
If it is exceeded, one will have to pay a customs duty — 30 percent of the amount paid, but not less than €4 per 1 kilogram of goods.
From 2020, any purchase with a cost of over €200 will be subject to a duty. One will have to pay 15 percent of the amount — but not less than €2 per kilogram.
Two years later, each purchase will be taken into account, not the total value of the goods for the month. EEC notes that in such a way it tries to fight those who resell foreign goods at unreasonably high prices.

By the time we checked into our hotel, cleaned ourselves up, grabbed a couple beers at the local supermarket, and headed out, it was already after midnight. We made it about 10 steps before the police stopped to hassle us.
"No drinking in public" they said the moment they noticed we were speaking English. "Show us your documents."
Aha! This time we were ready for them!
Like many countries throughout the world, Ukraine requires foreigners to carry either a passport or alien registration card at all times. But unlike most of the world, they *really* enforce this rule. In fact, it's just about their favorite excuse to pick out travelers and demand bribes – you can bet that the moment an officer overhears a word of English, you'll be reaching for your passport moments later. Peder's friend Johnny (the guy who joined us for Brazilian Carnaval in 2008) has visited Odesa several times now; his first time here he got shaken down for nearly two hundred euros, just for going out without a passport. When Peder first insisted that I bring it, I told him he was crazy – no way was I going out drinking with something so important. But in the end he convinced me, and I'm damn glad he did. It wasn't even ten minutes before the police demanded I show it.
Us: "Here you go, knock yourself out."
Corrupt Police: "Good. But you're still breaking the alcohol law. So, please come with us to the police station."
U: "Wait a minute, alcohol law? Well I have to tell you, just like with the passport law, we were careful to verify before going out that alcohol in public is in fact legal in Ukraine…at least according to our guidebook. Could our guidebook really be wrong?"
CP: "Which guidebook?"
U: "Lonely Planet. It's one of the most popular in the world."
CP: "When was it published?"
U: "Less than a year ago – it's the newest edition."
CP: "Well…um…the law just started four months ago. Your book must've been written before it became illegal."
Great, here we go again.
Not even half a day had passed since we'd been shaken down for bribes while exiting Transdniestr, and that was only about an hour after the previous shakedown on our way in. Three in one day? I was starting to believe this part of the world is every bit as corrupt as its reputation suggests.
But at least this time one of the police spoke near perfect English, and despite what he was doing, he actually seemed quite friendly. As they escorted us towards the station, I continued:
"OK look, I really don't know about your new law, but the truth is that we did carefully check before coming out tonight. I hope you can tell – from the fact that we've got all our documents – that we have made an honest effort to follow your laws. We're just a couple of budget backpackers who wanted to see your country, yet despite our good intentions we've already been fined twice today for breaking rules we didn't even know existed. Can you give us a break and not make it a third? We're not out to cause trouble, we're not being loud, we're not drunk, and we're not criminals. We poured out our drinks the second you asked, and have been as cooperative as possible. I'm even happy to go fetch the guidebook and show you the highlighted text where it confirms that drinking had recently been legal. My simple wish is to experience your country and return home with a positive impression – not a criminal record."
They stopped walking and pulled us around the corner just before the police station. Well, actually one of them did – the partner didn't understand English, but seemed content to let his buddy handle it:
"Look, I'm a student too" he said in a quieter voice. "And what you say about the law is true – it was legal until just recently. You seem like nice guys, and if it were up to me I'd let you go. But you see this badge? I have a low rank. The lowest. Another pair of officers reported that they saw you drinking, so if we don't take you to the station we need to have something to 'share' with them. My partner here too, he doesn't understand what's going on or what you've said. Personally I don't like having to do this either, but this is Ukraine and it's just the way things work here. You will have to give us something, or I'll be the one to get in trouble. 100 hryvnias each."
In the end there's no way to know if he was being honest or if it was just another load of crap. Maybe there weren't any other cops; maybe nobody had reported us, and it was only them who wanted the money. Maybe the whole "no alcohol law" thing was a farce – we had no way to know. But we spent probably 20 minutes talking with the guy, expressing – respectfully but firmly – how negative this type of treatment feels to an innocent tourist who'd flown halfway around the world only to be abused and harassed by the "law." We came to his country with open minds and a genuine interest in experiencing and learning about its culture. Yet over the course of just one day were being systematically shown that indeed, not all of Eastern Europe is a friendly place to visit. He really did seem to understand, and tried to assure us that Odesa was different – because it's become so powered by mafia, nightlife, and scandal, it truly is unique from the rest of Ukraine and we shouldn't expect this type of treatment in, for example, Kiev, the capital city. He assured us that by pulling us aside and taking a small bribe we were getting off much easier than if he'd taken us to the police station to pay the 'real' fine for an alcohol violation.
Again, who knows if this was true or not – but ultimately we had to pay anyway. His partner, who stood patiently as we spoke for nearly half an hour, was finally starting to get irritated. They had to get moving, so it came down to "Are you going to pay or refuse?" We begrudgingly handed over our money, he returned our passports, and we walked away.
By this time I was pretty pissed; one abuse was a nuisance, two was disappointing, but three in a single day was just too much. I genuinely wanted to go back to the hotel, pack up, and get the hell out of the country first thing the following morning. "If I'm not wanted then I don't want to stay," I thought – "I'm not interested in walking around handing out cash to every cop who happens to notice I'm not Ukrainian." But Peder convinced me that the night was still young, so after walking around and blowing off a bit of steam, we caught a cab to Arcadia Beach and just tried to forget what'd happened.
After all, it was our first Friday night in Odesa. Better late than never.

where do you work that allows you to travel all over the world? as a programmer, i'm quite jealous 😉
I also want to know how you can afford this continuous traveling that you have been doing since college. Tell us your secret!
I contract independently…and have so far only taken jobs that let me work remotely & when I want. Kick ass at what you do and you get to make the rules! 🙂
That sounds awful. It's so bad that they still do it. Before I went to Ukraine, I was reading a bunch of blogs about the same experience and one of the guys suggested to store USA embassy number in the cell phone. He had the same experience and every time he was stopped for a bribe he just said "Oh why don't you talk to American embassy and clear this up". Apparently it worked! I was so freaked out, so I looked up all the numbers but it never happened to us. Maybe next time, although I doubt you have a desire to ever go back.
I've been enjoying learning a wee bit about Eastern Europe from your posts. This one inspired me to wonder…have you since checked with a reliable source to find out whether the drinking law may have actually changed?
I was curious so I googled it. Found an interesting blog about about a similar shakedown attempt here (they have better luck than you apparently):
And they have the drunkest teens in the world, so they may really have changed the law to cope with that:
And it seems maybe the law really did change!:
@Olga: The US embassy phone call is a cool idea. Wonder how often that might just piss them off and worsen the shakedown.
I should have become a programmer…
Then I guess I shouldn't tell u that my friend and I just spontaneously decided to stay in Vegas another week, hehe…those weekend pool parties are just too fun to skip! 😉

Kid Friendly Recipe For Zucchini – Curried Zucchini Soup
Friends introduced me to this yummy, easy to make homemade soup…
Yummy, Split Pea Soup on a Budget- Green Pea Soup Just Like My Daddy Used to Make!
Reading over Mike Johnston's Hearty soup recipe that was published in our local newspaper, I realized I'd FINALLY come upon a recipe that was VERY similar to dad's, though it did need tweaking.
Back when my father lost his job at Orenda Engines (The Avro Arrow: Canada's broken dream) and became one of the over 50,000 men out of work in southern Ontario, many nights my parents had to send us off to bed with nothing to eat. Over time, my father learned to cook very creatively, as meat was not readily available for quite a few years.

By February, we'd already had a few major snowstorms and some smaller snowfalls. One morning before going to school, we heard on the radio that the previously predicted 1-2 inches for that day had been increased to 2-4 inches. I remember watching the snow fall heavily through the large school cafeteria or gym windows that morning.
By late in the morning, it became clear that 2-4 inches was an underestimate, that in fact we might already have gotten 2-4 inches in the first couple of hours, and they closed school and sent everyone home. At the same time schools and offices were closing all over the region, and a lot of parents had trouble getting to school to pick up their kids, but my brother and I lived in the apartment building directly adjacent to the school playground, across from the school, so we just walked home without waiting for parents. Wind tried to prevent it, and I remember being blown off my feet a few times, but apparently I did succeed in crossing the playground. School didn't reopen for two weeks.*
What we were getting was a cross between a hurricane and a blizzard. It wasn't just the unusually rapid snowfall, lasting two whole days, it was also the 80-110mph winds that piled up gigantic snowdrifts** and caused all sorts of havoc. On the south shore and down on the cape, houses fell into the ocean. On Route 128 (aka I-95, though I think it wasn't I-95 yet then), thousands of cars were trapped and some people even died in their cars, buried in snow and exhaust fumes.
I didn't experience most of this directly - though my parents were in a car on Route 128, they got out. . Here's one thing I did experience:
The week after the storm, on a bright sunny day, some friends and I were in my building's parking lot, which had temporarily become a snowy playground for us. We were making snowmen and other snowconstructions, and digging in the snow... we struck gold! Well, we found something shiny and metallic and gold colored, and it was exciting. So we kept digging to try to discover what it was. We made the hole, already probably about a foot deep, deeper and wider, until we found our metallic gold surface sloping downwards at an angle... dark... clear... a windshield. We'd found not gold, but the roof of a gold-colored car.
When people talk about snowpocalypses and snowmageddons, this is what I think of.
* Our school year ended up having fewer than the required number of school days that year, because they didn't yet have a policy of extending it into the summer if there were too many snow days. That policy was enacted the following year, in response to the blizzard.
** I remember hearing about 12 foot snow drifts. In my neighborhood snow was piled up significantly higher than I was tall, but how deep that was, I wouldn't know. Could've been merely 8 feet, not 12.

Dlamini-Zuma was reacting to President Cyril Ramaphosa's third State of the Nation Address (SONA) held at Parliament on Thursday.
Ramaphosa said South Africans should imagine a country wherein all enjoy comfort and prosperity and where "a bullet trains passes through Johannesburg as they travel from here [Cape Town] to Musina, and they stop in Buffalo City on their way from eThekwini back here".
"I dream of a South Africa where the first entirely new city built in the democratic era rises, with skyscrapers, schools, universities, hospitals and factories."
Dlamini-Zuma said the country's current cities were built on apartheid spatial planning where people were living far from work, far from the city, living in dormitories and townships.
"The city we build must demonstrate democratic spatial planning, it must also be a smart city and illustrate that we are in the 4th Industrial Revolution."
Dlamini-Zuma said a location for the new city would be discussed at a later stage.
"Through that city a bullet train will pass, so the railway will also pass. For me it's a very good idea, it's a doable idea and many countries build new cities all the time," she said.
Dlamini-Zuma said she was not doubtful looking at the state of current cities and the way in which they were run. She said government would run the city very well and it would built in such a way that it would be easy to run.
"We'll have skilled people building it and we will have skilled people running..I'm not sceptical, I think it will be one of the best-run cities," she said.

STÄLLET IV from Teo Håkansson on Vimeo.
No groundbreaking skateboarding here, just a nice insight into the life of a typical Swedish skate rat (in this case Teo Håkansson) with as much Barcelona as possible in the winter, a fair bit of CPH in the summer and countless hours spent at Värnhem in between. He's even managed to sprinkle in a few gems from the Sour boys and Fernando Bramsmark.

- Judith Warner told it like it is in the NYT "Opinion" today
- and here's the last comment to column that was posted.
- Maybe 302 mostly thoughtful, intelligent comments is some kind of a record for the NYT?
- 302.
In reading the editorial and the comments posted I no longer feel that I "missed something". I am from a really small town (pop. 255) in rural America. I am a hockey mom and have a mass comm degree. I have small town policital experience but in no way am I swayed by Gov. Palin. She and the Republican party scare me. I want to know how to fix our broken country.I want a really smart person in the top spot. I want Obama/Biden. Thank you for all the "hit the spot" comments. They are what I am thinking!! Vote Obama/Biden on Nov. 4-a smart change!!

- Thanks Judith and the NYT
An eclectic potpourri of political comment & observations plus the insane ramblings of an old mythster: (that suffix modifies a noun (or adjective) to create a new noun that serves to associate a person or thing involved with the original noun. "mythster" - a person who is associated with myths

Becky Shaw is described as such: "From the moment that Becky arrives overdressed for her blind date with straight-talking Max Garrett (Barnes), it's clear the evening is unlikely go to plan. In the immediate fallout, Becky becomes an object of devotion for her boss Andrew (Montuel), who appears to have a fetish for vulnerable women. In turn Andrew's wife Suzanna (Madeley) turns to her step-brother Max for comfort, and their mutual desire begins to resurface."
Here's a look at the production:

The Best Songs Of 2015 (So Far!)by Bradley Stern | PopCrush
The year-end retrospective list has become music journalism tradition come every December (or late November for some of the increasingly trigger-happy publications out there), but we thought we'd take a midyear breather to take a look back and appreciate all of the goods we've been given this year so far, from January to June. Songs! There are already so many of them. And so many of them are very good! After we counted down some of our favorite records of 2015 (so far!) yesterday, the PopCrush editors have now selected some of their favorite bops to be released this year, from Taylor Swift's sleek 1989 offering to sweet soulfulness from Jazmine Sullivan an unexpectedly somber dance floor outing between Diplo, Skrillex and Justin Bieber.

There really is nothing better than traveling the globe. You get to taste new cuisine for the first time, experience new cultures and see new amazing sights. However, having the right travel companion can make the experience all that much better. Of course, choose the wrong individual to travel with and you are going to ruin your trip. Just because you have a good relationship or friendship with someone it doesn't necessarily mean they are going to make a good travel companion. And, this is why it is import to know just how to choose the right person to travel with.
Finding The Right Qualities In The Individual
First and foremost, you and your travel companion's travel styles are going to have to mesh. What do you value most in yourself when you are traveling? Do you consider yourself an adventurous traveler or do you like to have ever part of the trip planned out? Are you flexible to changing your travel schedule or are you unyielding when it comes to diverting from your plans? Are you self-aware or do you like to live dangerously? Identify your qualities and choose a companion whose travel values match.
Know What You Want To Get Out Of The Trip
Getting in touch with your inner traveler will help you identify what you are looking to get out of the travel experience. It might also help you identify where issues could arise with your potential companion. What do you look to get out of the travel? Do you want to experience the culture through its food? Maybe your companion wants to experience the culture through its religious qualities. These two would not go hand in hand. You need someone who wants to experience the new culture in the same manner as you. Just remember that Escort Köln always provides perfect local travel companions if you happen to find yourself in an area where there is an agency.
Know Your Irritations
You are going to be spending an incredible amount of time with your travel companion. This means that you must know what irritates you and if this person possesses these qualities. Do you have a pet peeve about smacking when someone eats or chews gum? Do you dislike excessive talkers? Meet with your companion beforehand in an environment where you can discover if he or she possesses these dislikable qualities.
Know Your Companion Irritations
Just because your companion possesses qualities that don't get on your nerves it doesn't mean that you don't have qualities that get on his or her nerves. You need to identify what qualities irritate your companion. There simply is no better way to do this than by asking them.
Discuss "What If" Scenarios
It is good to know how your companion might react in certain situations and this is why it is good for you and your companion to sit down and come up with a "what if" list. What if you want to stay up partying and your companion wants to go to bed? What if you want to travel alone for a couple of days? What if you like to sleep in? These are just a few things that you need to include on your all-important "what if" list.

With preliminary site activity now underway for yet another phase of The Daniels Corporation's Daniels Erin Mills master-planned community in Mississauga, sales continue for "Arc", the development's 19-storey third phase. To get a better understanding of the development prior to its official Q1 2017 construction launch, we recently visited the project's Erin Mills Parkway and Eglinton presentation centre, which serves as a sales and information hub mere steps from the development site.
Stepping inside, visitors to the space are greeted by a reception and waiting area with seating and basic information about the master-planned community. Ample window coverage fills this area with natural light, while also offering views towards the community's existing towers.
Beyond the reception area, the main space features the star attraction: a scale model of the Kirkor Architects Planners-designed Arc. Enticing potential buyers with a scaled-down depiction of the development, the Arc scale model highlights the project's unconventional undulating curved walls, cladding details, and the project's much-anticipated public piazza fronting the corner of Erin Mills and Eglinton. We will return in the coming weeks to explore this model in detail.
Following the undulating walls theme, floorplans of units at Arc are fixed to a curving perforated metal wall.
On the opposite wall, two semi-private areas provide a quiet environment for purchasers to review paperwork and finalize sales agreements, partitioned from the main space by sliding glass walls.
Deeper into the presentation centre, kitchen and bathroom vignettes provide mockups of the finishes on offer for Arc's suites.
Adjacent to the suite vignettes, two different finish packages are on display, providing a glimpse into the alternative colours and textures available for suites within the development.
For more information about the Daniels Erin Mills community, make sure to check out our dataBase file, linked below. Want to share your thoughts? Leave a comment in the space below this page, or join the conversation in our associated Forum thread.

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has received with sadness the tragic news of the sudden death Saturday of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Professor Olatokunbo Babatunde Sofoluwe at the age of 62.
The President who described the late Professor Sofoluwe as "an accomplished and renowned academic," commended his remarkable achievements in the field of computer science in particular and the sciences in general.
President Jonathan also lauded the administrative acumen of the late 12th Vice-Chancellor of the university, especially the reforms he introduced in the area of Information Technology.
While the President hopes that his successors will build on the worthy legacies bequeathed by Professor Sofoluwe, he regrets that his expertise will be greatly missed especially at this time that university administrators are faced with the daunting challenge of making the nation's universities true citadels of learning and incubators of developmental ideas in order to make them globally competitive.
President Jonathan commiserated with the Sofoluwe family in particular and the university community in general over the demise of the distinguished scholar.
He prayed God Almighty to comfort the bereaved and grant the soul of the departed eternal peace.No tags for this post.

Phen375 Online
About Phen375
Phen375 FAQ
Phen375 Reviews
Contact Us
What active components does Phen375 contain?
Each diet pill contains:
• L-Carnitine (Levocarnitine) – 382 mg
• Bitter Orange extract – 125 mg
• Calcium Carbonate – 149 mg
• Caffeine anhydrous – 75mg
• Cayenne pepper – 20 mg
• Chromium Picolinate – 1 mg
How does Phen375 help to fight extra weight?
Four of six active ingredients of Phen375 stimulate weight loss.
1. L-Carnitine – is a natural fat burner, which can destroy fatty cells even in low intensity of physical exertion.
2. Bitter Orange extract – stimulates basal metabolism, speeds up fat metabolism and reduces feeling of hunger.
3. Caffeine anhydrous – suppresses appetite and helps to excrete excessive liquid from the body.
4. Cayenne pepper – stimulates thermogenesis and transforms fat into energy.
Why does Phen375 contain Calcium Carbonate and Chromium Picolinate?
• Calcium Carbonate is an essential microelement, strengthening bone tissue and reducing the acidity of gastric juice.
• Chromium Picolinate is a biologically active microelement, reducing the blood cholesterol.
Both these microelements are needed so that by means of Phen375 a person, suffering from obesity, can lose weight and:
• Strengthen his skeletal system
• Prevent heart burn
• Reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases
What side effects can occur in regular use of Phen375 pills?
Active components of Phen375 stimulate the destruction of fatty cells. The main sign of adipose tissue destruction is the release of energy, appearing in form of excessive sweating.
Increased sweating is a normal reaction of the body on the enhanced thermogenesis and destruction of the fat tissue. Therefore, increased sweating is not a side effect, but a therapeutic effect of natural fat burner – Phen375.
All the active ingredients in Phen375 are absolutely safe for the human body and never cause unwanted side effects. The registry of the Federal Service for Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare includes hundreds of over-the-counter weight loss drugs that contain the same active components as natural fat burner Phen375 does.
Who is the manufacturer of Phen375?
Phen375 pills are manufactured by one of the largest American producers of natural weight loss medications – RDK Global. In 2013, Phen375 became the best-selling over-the-counter weight loss drug within the USA.
Where can I buy Phen375 pills?
Weight loss pills are not available at Russian pharmacies, so please refrain from purchasing of counterfeit goods. Please note that RDK Global is the unique distributer of Phen375 to Russia. If you want to buy original weight loss pills Phen375 – please order them directly from the manufacturer.
Whom are Phen375 diet pills contraindicated?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women, children, people whose obesity is accompanied with other diseases. Thus, one should better consult professional medical worker before start using Phen375 fat burner.
Since what age can people take Phen375?
The weight loss pills Phen375 can be used for a teenage obesity only if diet and physical activity do not provide a sufficient weight loss. Adults and elderly people can take Phen375 with no restrictions.
How do I take Phen375?
Phen375 pills are taken by mouth. Optimal dosage of Phen375 depends on the severity of obesity. Before buying Phen375, you can find out any information on Phen375 delivery over phone call or by email. Purchasing the weight loss pills Phen375 from Russia, you can get a qualitative advice of a pharmacist for free.
Can I take Phen375 before, with or after alcohol?
Small amount of alcohol does not affect the effectiveness and safety of Phen375. However, one must not forget that alcohol can increase the appetite and slow down the metabolism. Therefore, if person abuses alcohol during the anti-obesity therapy, the efficiency of anti-obesity phytotherapy is reduced by several times.
How do I order Phen375 online?
To buy Phen375 online, you need to choose the most suitable payment method and one of the delivery variants of these slimming pills.
Purchasing Phen375 online, you will not have to fill out medical questionnaire and answer the pharmacist's questions. Hence, you can order the delivery of Phen375 slimming pills in just a few minutes.

It's estimated between 25% and 45% of three- to seven-year old children create imaginary playmates*. For most young children, the friends are invisible, but some do take the form of a doll, stuffed animal, or toy.
When asking a child why they have created an imaginary friend, the majority have done so because they found it to be fun. It fills a social need when a real playmate is not available. Most parents, and researchers, believe there are benefits to a child having an imaginary friend; 1. It gives the child a sense of control, 2. They can manage their feelings by transmitting them to the imaginary friend and then giving them the comfort they could be seeking, 3. And, there is an unconditional love from an imaginary friend and gives the child a way to confide something private with judgement.
Imaginary friends help children cope. If they have a situation that they may be fearful of – like moving to a new home – the child can share their concerns or talk through them with the friend as a means to help them prepare for the move. There is a higher likelihood of an imaginary friend joining the family when an important relationship is missing in a child's life due to a parent divorce or death. A child will create an imaginary person in an effort to heal as they gradually accept their new reality.
Researchers have found that children with imaginary friends tend to be:
- Emotionally well-adjusted
- Outgoing and social
- Verbally skilled
- Creative
- Developed conversational skills
- Grasp the difference between real and fantasy play
If your child has an imaginary friend, don't panic or think there is something negative happening inside their head; it's more "normal" than you realize. As the parent, you can decide how much attention you want to give the imaginary friend in your family. For some parents, they love to see their child enjoy fantasy play while others don't. Some parents gain insight to their child's thoughts, emotions and relationships they may be forming while others simply ignore the child's behavior. Either way, take it in stride and know that this is just one stage of childhood and before you know it he or she will have outgrown this friend – and it just might make you a little sad to see this part of their childhood fade away.
