An extra £644,000 has been awarded to an EU-backed project, Finance Minister Jane Hutt announced today (Thursday, November 28) as she addressed a conference to highlight the opportunities for investing a further £2bn of EU funds in Wales from next year.
Swansea University's £9m LEAD Wales project supports leaders and owner-managers of small and medium sized businesses and social enterprises to gain new leadership and management skills to drive forward commercial success.
The extra funding will enable the scheme to be rolled out to provide support for middle management of larger SMEs.
Speaking at the Investing in your Future conference in Cardiff, Finance Minister Jane Hutt said: "I am delighted to announce an extra £644,000 for the LEAD Wales project. This is another example of how the UK's membership of the EU brings benefits to Wales.
"EU funds are having a positive impact on our region, including equipping business leaders with the management skills needed to build a strong and dynamic workforce is essential to meet the labour market opportunities and challenges of the 21st Century."
Over 520 business leaders and directors have already participated in the LEAD Wales programme, of which almost 370 have gained qualifications, while over 460 employers have assisted or financially supported.
At the conference the Minister said that a further £2bn EU Structural funds available for the period 2014–2020 would continue to support more businesses, drive research and innovation, help people into work and increase skills, and tackle poverty.
She also launched the Economic Prioritisation Framework which will help potential sponsors across all sectors to plan and develop quality and innovative projects to address key economic opportunities so that EU investments achieve maximum impact for Wales.
Finance Minister said: "Partnership underpins the development and delivery of the Structural Funds in Wales, and it is essential that we continue to work with our partners to progress the planning of projects that can help achieve our goals for increasing jobs and skills and boosting our economy."
Ceri Jones, Acting Director Department of Research and Innovation, Swansea University, said: "EU Funds have been vital to our LEAD Wales project. This extra funding will enable us to provide further support to our business leaders and directors so they can improve business performance which, in turn, will benefit the Welsh economy."
Director of Melin Consultants, Jamie Best, is one of those who took part in the LEAD Wales programme. His company provides specialist technical support for the construction sector to make buildings more sustainable.
He said: "When the recession started to bite and the construction sector slowed down, our company slowed down as well. The LEAD Wales programme gave me all the new tools I needed to look at things in a different way and improve business performance.
"We are now back on track and over the last year we have seen an increase in sales of over 20 per cent and an increase in profitability of over 15 per cent, but the biggest difference for me is that we have a plan in place for our future - thanks to LEAD."
Wales' EU investment plans for 2014-2020 will be submitted to the European Commission for approval once the UK Government's Partnership Agreement has been submitted early next year.
EU projects have already assisted some 465,400 participants, of which some 157,000 have been supported to gain qualifications and some 52,800 helped into work. In addition, over 22,000 (gross) jobs and some 7,000 enterprises have been created.

Vital Healing
Energy, Mind and Spirit in Traditional Medicines of India, Tibet and the Middle East - Middle Asia
The traditional medicines of Middle Asia are rich and varied - from the Ayurveda and Siddha medicines of India, to the Unani and Sufi healing practices of the Middle East.
Dr. Marc S. Micozzi unfolds the compelling idea that vital energy, expressed as "prana" in the Indian practice of Ayurveda, is the unifying concept that underpins and connects all of these traditions. Describing the origins, health strategies, diagnostic approaches, and modern-day uses of each tradition, he also draws parallels to, and finds correlations with, mainstream Western concepts - and demonstrates how all these therapies fit within the context of their own cultures and ours.
This groundbreaking book will be of interest to practitioners of all Middle Eastern and Asian medical traditions, complementary and alternative health practitioners, and anyone with an interest in Middle Eastern and Asian approaches to health and well-being.
This book offers a great outline/overview of multiple healing traditions - including also the larger context of how Western medicine went astray from this understanding and the results of that distorted allopathic focus (wasteful healthcare spending and chronic illness). Readers from many backgrounds can appreciate this scholarly work. This book is suited to both professionals in the healing arts as well as laypersons. If medical students were to read this we might have a much more effective health care workforce, where people would have a better understanding of health and the forces that govern our well-being. This book is well-researched and it even includes an appendix of Asian medicine treatment approaches for common health concerns. – Jed Shlackman, Licensed Mental Health Counsellor and Certified Hypnotherapist
Dr. Marc Micozzi, a physician and anthropologist, promotes the notion that insights "have been converging on a new... understanding of energy in human physiology as related to [healing]." He explains Ayurveda's Indic roots, South India's Siddha healing, yoga, Tibetan and Sufi healing, and the Unani Greco-Arabic Tibb system. Common threads in these "lesser known Middle Asian ethno-medical traditions" affirm ancient wisdom, expand the healing spectrum, and offer practical alternative care. – ForeWord Reviews

Opposition Spokesman on Finance, Audley Shaw, says Jamaicans should brace for more price increases and a sharp rise in the cost of living.
According to Mr. Shaw this will almost certainly be the reality, given that the government and the IMF appear to have reached an agreement to allow the Jamaican dollar to slide to 1-hundred-and-20 to 1-US viagrapill.com dollar.
Mr. Shaw made the comments during a media briefing at the office of the Leader of the Opposition in St. Andrew on Monday.
More in this report from Abka Fitz-Henley.
[soundcloud id='155849175′]
The local currency began trading his morning at 1-hundred-and-11-dollars-24-cents to 1-US dollar.
Audley Shaw says he has credible reasons to be concerned that the IMF may well be prepared to allow the Jamaica dollar to slide further.
Mr. Shaw says the JLP has consistently expressed concern regarding the devaluation of the dollar, but has ignored by the Government and IMF.
He says both the multi-lateral and the Simpson Miller Miller administration should recognize that continued devaluation will have devastating consequences.

The Nano Foundation has announced new changes to how the development funds would be stored. This news comes after a review of the internal security policy, and representative voting weights were conducted. The current development account of the Foundation will be split into multiple accounts with several private keys.
The respective voting weights will be delegated in a bid to reinforce the better performing principal representatives. The report suggests that after working closely with the community members and the service operators, the Foundation has been able to identify nodes with good performance on the network. The Nano development funds are scheduled to be moved on 16th November.
The Nano's Community Reaction to the Announcement
Community members expressed their thoughts on the switching of the Nano development accounts. The Nano community seems to be happy with the announcement as they are awestruck with the Foundation's discipline for transparency.
Some community members are wondering why the Nano Foundation has decided to make these changes now given that since the account was founded four years ago, there has not been any problem. Most of the Nano users don't get it how splitting the account would bolster security. Some even wonder why it was important to review the internal security policy. Does it mean that the security of the current setup has been compromised? That remains to be the bigger question.
Contrary, some members believe that this doesn't mean the current set up is insecure, and splitting the accounts is a thoughtful measure as it would spread out the risk. One of the members actually phrased this measure as a mitigative approach to avoid the incident that happened with Quadrigacx, where its founder died with security keys, and there was no back up for them to access the funds. Hence, splitting the account would ensure there is access to one of the security keys so that in case of death, there is still access to the seeds.
These are responses in a discussion by the members of the Nano community. There is no official reason that has been issued by the Foundation for their decision.
What You Need to Know About the Nano Development Fund
The Nano Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to stimulate innovation and commercialization of Nanotechnology. Ever since it was started in October of 2015, the Foundation has been distributing tokens worldwide using CAPTCHA Faucet. The organization brings together major stakeholders with the aim of assisting the nanotechnology in connecting business and academia.
The CAPTCHA system was opened on 1st October 2015. The CAPTCHA system assists Nano Foundation to distribute NANO fairly and in an eco-friendly way. The CAPTCHA faucet required the users to complete tests, and upon completion, the users would earn coins. Anyone with a computer was allowed to participate, whereby all that was needed was their attention and time.
When the CAPTCHA faucet was closed, 39% of the planned supply had been distributed, and 7 million NANO was reserved for a development fund, approximately 133 million NANO was the circulating supply. The development fund, which is managed by the Nano Foundation, is reserved for adoption, development, and community-related activities. As of 5th November 2019, 58% of the reserve fund had been used.
Nano's Current Price Analysis
Nano's price in October remained below the $1 mark, however as of the beginning of November, the coin reached the 1$mark, closing the day at $1.03. Though the coin has been undergoing fluctuations, it has retained its price above 1$ this month. As of 11th, the Nano coin remained stable throughout the day, never dropped below the 1$mark. This is quite promising for the Nano coin.

does anybody know how to find the parcel's tracking on the post office web-site? do they even have this service? the buu dien web site is only in vnmese and I couldn't find what I need.. just know that my package went first to Saigon instead of here which is making me nervous.
There's no tracking here. If there was, things would never get "lost".
Things get lost. Therefore, there is no tracking here.
I have made several purchases on ebay for direct delivery here and was always told that tracking stopped once the parcel reached Vietnam.
Several of those parcels (usually antique cameras) never made it.
The lack of tracking here is an employee benefit.
Learn quicker than I did: Private parcel service like DHL or Fedex, or have your stuff hand carried here. Especially things that might have a re-sale value.
I'm with Nick on this. And make sure you use courrier and not regular service from DHL.
Send a parcel with normale sending + tracking from German on 8 august 2011, it arrived according to tracking in Vietnam on 16 Augusts 2011, and it was in my hands at 10 November 2011..... apparently due to no packing-list.
Content was a router/hub, some safety shoes and some T-shirts.
Courier (the expensive options) is a matter of days and works perfects, we use it daily for inter company sending.
Also relevant:
So, Mark's router would not have made it if this new law were in effect.
In probably completely unrelated news, there will soon be a FANTASTIC used laptop store opening next to the central post customs office.
Oh God, I got a number, but I guess I won't receive it so fast or won't even get it at all..Yeah I know DHL, but that would cost a fortune cause I'm receiving couples of kilos(shoes, clothes..),nothing expensive happily.
Well, last time I was a student, so my package safely reached Dai Hoc Hanoi with a bit of delay though. Here this time I got an important document without problems,but your stories make me scared.
I also will go with my landlady to the post office, maybe she will somehow influence the situation.
@NickinNam: used laptop store? you mean it's like those stores of forfeited products? ))
I could be misremembering, but I'm _pretty_ sure that the last (only) package I had sent in through EMS kept giving me tracking information while it was in-country.
On the other hand, they failed at final-stage delivery twice so I had to go collect it myself from the EMS office. And pay the import duty, which is why I only used them once.
ok, so here's a continuing of the story: I went to the post office with my dignified landlady, so they did a bit more this time.
The post woman called to Saigon post office and after minutes of talking and waiting, they said it's in Hanoi already but in some different post office(central for Dong Da I guess). Landlady called to the 2nd one, they apparently checking the value and want me to pay some money (no idea how much), because they think my clothes are new(which isn't true) and my shoes are(which is true).
So did you have to pay this fee before?is it some stupid amount of money like 1-2millions? can you avoid paying just by lying and saying it's all been used?
Actually, it is used clothing that merits a tariff.
Or new clothing draws a tariff.
Or, they make clothing here and they really, really hate it when you don't buy polyester T-Shirts emblazoned with the names of European homosexual clothing designers/non-alcoholic beverage trademarks upon it, which are made in Vietnam, and create all those $60 a month textile jobs, Mister.
You really thought you were going to get your own stuff without contributing $60 to somebody's house construction/mistress maintenance/Bentley fund?
Pay. Get your stuff. Don't do that anymore.
When I picked up my package from EMS, I had to pay 10% VAT and something like 15% import duty (being a half-dozen new video games).
I suspect customs looked at the docket price and decided it was probably commercial or at least large-enough to bother with. Buying games individually hasn't attracted VAT/duty yet...
..and the end, if you're interested.
Got the bloody parcel from the local post after useless running to some far away post in the morning. The import tax was 770.000 vnd. Still less than 60usd.
The problem is my mom didn't evaluate the parcel, so they put the price up to 80something USD (the value is twice less I think).
Tried to discuss and show them the clothes aren't new, "make the price smaller" blabla. The staff just made a call to the "nest of thieves" who's answer was as I understood from vietnamese "I have to pay even for my old clothes, because should buy these things here, in VN"...
The curtain drops.
The reality is as I pointed out above, and vernon_limon just learned: this is what economists call a "protective tariff".
They really want you to buy your clothes here. That's why.
It has nothing to do with being a foreigner.
They can do it for a little while longer. Then, their WTO membership will require, over time, that these tariffs are reduced until they disappear. Vietnam has WTO membership, but it is a "protected" economy, and is permitted to protect it's nascent industries.
That's why the car tax is virtually 100%. They want to develop local auto manufacturing capacity. They also don't want too many people with cars to overrun the existing road infrastructure, such as it is.
This is not all evil. It is economics, it is the result of negotiations with our own countries.
To re-open this conversation...I had a few books I can't find here shipped, two months ago. No little slip of paper, and I have very nice neighbors who know us and keep an eye out for packages.
Went to the central post office today with my shipping information, and they have no record of it. My read of that is...that the books never made it past customs, and are a) either sitting in someone's copy machine far far away b)just sitting there.
Any chance I could show up there, try to track them down? If there's even a small chance I can locate them...I'd like to.
DHL/FedEx, next time...i know, i know.
Courtesy of the TBBle (find your local post office and try there):
'The Wikipedia page's "external sources" links to the VNPost post-code search.
Stick your street name into the box, make sure it's set to "Cụm địa chỉ" and search away. (It ignores diacritics and vowel distinction markers, as far as I can tell.)
Find your street address on the far right (the numbers in square brackets are the street number ranges covered by that postal code) and you've got your post code.
If you know your local post office, type its street name or part thereof into the box, choose "Bưu cục" and it'll give you the post code for that post office.
You can search the address list by post code, but not the list of post offices. So if you want to know where your local post office is, find your post code, then start searching for a post office in your district until you find one with the same post code.
Click "Tất cả" if you want to search by district, village or city, rather than street name.
I've been using 10000 without problem so far, but now that I know where my local post office is (at the end of my street, helpfully) I'm going to start using its post code.
There's no addresses listed for any of 10000, 100000 or 159999 so I guess those post codes trigger a manual lookup of the address in the end, so you're possibly making work for someone else by using them. ^_^'
All the parcels I've received have been opened and retaped at the My Dinh post office, in Tu Liem, so I suspect that's the central point for checking items in Hanoi. However, in almost 5 years, I've seldom had problems with things going missing, and I have both sent and received a lot of parcels. Even if I order online, I have the item sent to my parents' address and they send it on, marking it as a gift and underestimating its value. They even giftwrap items at times if needed, as gifts are exempt from the duty charge, I believe. At any rate, I've never been charged where gifts are involved. When I've ordered items online, I've had to pay an amount almost equal to the value of the items. I also underestimate the value on anything I send out. Not ideal solutions, I know, but workable ones. The only time I used registered mail with the regular post office, the parcel went missing and the post office said they couldn't do anything about it. Go figure.

Why is it so difficult to get going again after vacation?
I took a week off from work last week, and it was nice. We didn't do a whole lot, other than go to St. Louis for a day, but it was nice to go about my day without the hustle and bustle of actual work. This Monday it was a real chore getting out of bed to go back. Tuesday, believe it or not, was even harder.
Why is it so difficult to get going again after vacation? I have now worked two full shifts and a partial overtime shift since coming back, and am scheduled to work this weekend. But I really really really don't want to go.
The blog has also suffered a bit this week. I scheduled a bunch of posts for last week while I was off, and still had internet access so could get on and do a little housekeeping. But I did not prepare anything for this week, and honestly haven't been in the mood to get back into gear. I still have a few books to read and review, but most of my reading is done at work during downtime, so when I'm not at work, I don't read as much. Thus, no book reviews this week. (There will definitely be at least two next week, though.)
Despite my apathy in working and posting, however, it is nice to receive cards in the mail, and even nicer that they don't get abused and destroyed when they are left sitting in a mailbin for several days waiting for me to get them. Night Owl Cards sent nine cards from the 2013 Topps Opening Day set to me last week, and they were still in mint condition when I ripped open the package.
I needed six of the cards, and my youngest son didn't have the other three yet, so all nine are going into binders in the house.
If it's so difficult for me, a regular guy, to go back to work after just a week off, I wonder how difficult it is for baseball players when they have several months off in the winter?
Also, a reminder that I'm putting together a list of bloggers (and other collectors) to send out occasional PWEs. If you send me your address and favorite team, I'll add you to the list. I may not send as often as others do, but I really need to get rid of some cards!
Updated wantlists, thanks to Night Owl
I recently sent Night Owl a card of
Hideo Video Nomo, and he returned the favor by sending a few Reds cards my way. He also subtly reminded me that I needed to update my wantlists, as three of the cards he sent came from sets that I didn't have listed yet!
The first card is an upgrade of a card I already had from my birth year: 1975 Topps Bill Plummer.
Anytime I get a card as old (or older) than me, it's a good day. 1975 was such a great year: the baseball card set is one of the all-time greats, the World Series was one of the most memorable (and the Reds won it!), and I was born. How could it be any better?
Then he hit me with an Eric Davis card that I had seen on around the blogs from 2013 Archives.
The card design is 1987, the photo is from 1988 (check out the All-Star Game patch on his sleeve), and the on-deck batter is Paul O'Neill (I'm 99.9% sure of this). I love how Topps decided to use the Tiffany-type cardstock reminiscent of the Traded sets instead of the gray cardboard. When I first saw this card on the blogs, my blood pressure started going up because I remembered how hard it was to get Eric Davis cards in Cincinnati in the 1980s and was worried that it would be just as difficult to track this sucker down. He was cardboard gold. Thanks for sparing me a trip to the doctor, Greg.
Next was a mascot card of Gapper from the 2013 Opening Day series.
I sometimes wonder if Mr. Redlegs, Rosie, or Mr. Red ever get jealous of Gapper's Topps contract. I also wonder why the Reds need four mascots.
Finally, N.O. sent me another insert card from 2013 Opening Day, Jay Bruce "Ballpark Fun."
This is, in my opinion, the proper use of foil on a card. It's an insert card, a special card, a celebratory card. Normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill cards should not be littered with foil. But for these kinds of cards, go all-out!
My wantlists have been updated, and my new cards have been crossed off. Thanks for the cards, Night Owl, and as soon as I find some more of those "CardToons" Dodgers cards, I'll send them your way!

The Church is for the sake of the world
At the conclusion of a meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) and Primates Joint Standing Committee held in Canterbury, England, last week, Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold found time to talk to the media about some of the issues currently facing the Anglican Communion and the Episcopal Church in the United States.
Here follows a full transcript of an interview with Sir David Frost, broadcast on BBC Breakfast with Frost on Sunday March 7:
FROST: In America it's election year, of course, and one of the issues climbing rapidly up the charts, up the political agenda, is homosexuality.
In San Francisco and some other places they now have gay marriages--something that President Bush wants to ban, by amending the constitution.
Those are civil ceremonies, of course, at the moment. Last year, many Anglicans were aghast when a diocese in America elected an openly gay bishop. Feelings were running so high that the head of the American church, Bishop Frank Griswold, had to wear a bullet-proof vest during the consecration ceremony.
When I talked to Bishop Griswold about that occasion, I wondered if he'd ever had to take such a precaution before.
GRISWOLD: I've never worn a bullet-proof vest before.
FROST: No.
GRISWOLD: It was simply a precaution. I really didn't feel it was necessary but I acceded to the concerns of those planning the service.
FROST: Well it has all raised a tremendous amount of feeling and so on, and the potential of a split in the Church. When you were thinking about whether you would go ahead with this, to consecrate Bishop Robinson, to what extent did you agonize over it? To what extent were you not sure, or were you always sure?
GRISWOLD: Well part of my role in the Episcopal Church of the United States is to uphold the formal decisions of the Church, quite independent of my own perspective. And because the decision to consent to his ordination after the election by the diocese was very clear and done according to our canons and constitution, I felt at ease supporting the action of the Church.
I think at the same time as a primate of the Anglican Communion I certainly was aware of the stress that that decision would have in other parts of the communion where questions of sexuality are looked at in a different light, if they are discussed at all.
FROST: If it does lead to a schism, a real split in the Church into two or three pieces, will it, in retrospect have been worth doing?
GRISWOLD: I find it difficult to answer hypothetical questions. I can only say that given our experience and given the desires of the people and clergy of the diocese of New Hampshire, I feel that they have acted honorably, that the Episcopal Church has acted honorably and I do hope in the fullness of time that the Anglican Communion will hold together in spite of differences. I think one of the things I've learned over the years is that the contexts in which we do our theology are so very different.
For example, in the United States and probably here as well, there is the theological latitude that simply doesn't exist in a nation that has, let us say, a very strong Muslim presence, because if the Christian community admitted a variety of points of view or interpretations, they probably would suffer tremendously because the other religions are so fierce and clear.
So I think the more we as Anglicans can appreciate the fact that we always do our theology in context, the more we can make room for one another's differences.
FROST: What do you think about the practice here in this country for our bishops and archbishops to say that in terms of gays and homosexuals in positions in the church, priests in the church, they can be deep down homosexual but they must not practice it. Do you think that's out of date now?
GRISWOLD: I think every province of the Anglican Communion has its own realities and each province is going to have to live its realities in its very own way.
FROST: What does that mean?
GRISWOLD: That means that the Church of England is going to have to figure out its own way and establish its own criteria, just as the Episcopal Church in the United States is going to have to make its decisions.
FROST: But would yours be different then? Your view on would be--what's the position in the States?
GRISWOLD: I think formally the Episcopal Church would be very close to the Church of England. I think that the reality we live with is that over the years many clergy, in the context of their congregations, have had to deal with the reality of homosexual couples and have seen in those couples what you might call the gifts of the spirit, a kindness, gentleness, charity, patience--all those things--and so homosexuals have, in a quite natural way, become part of the life of congregations.
And in the same way a number of bishops dealing with ordinands and members of the clergy have had to acknowledge that people of goodwill, clearly rooted and grounded in the gospel, have also had as part of their reality homosexuality--and in some instances have been living in sustained relationships with others.
FROST: When you see something happening like in San Francisco, where they have gay marriages, currently--obviously civil ceremonies, not--but in terms of couples attesting to their long term relationships and so on, do you think that's a healthy thing or not?
GRISWOLD: In the United States we're, we're very much involved in a public debate as to what is the best way to acknowledge that reality in our public life, just as the Church is trying to figure out what is the best way, pastorally, to deal with this reality.
And I must say the Church is also on record as being very strongly supportive of the civil and legal rights of homosexual persons.
FROST: But I mean would you, would you say that there will one day perhaps in a decade, maybe, that there would, it's conceivable there would be gay church weddings?
GRISWOLD: Well again, I hate to try to predict things, but certainly looking at some of the pastoral responses that have been made within congregations thus far to gay and lesbian couples, I think it may be the case that in the future there will be some pastoral response on the part of the Church that will be less guarded.
FROST: And of course the political side of all this is focused also with President Bush's proposal for outlawing the...
GRISWOLD: ...constitutional amendment, yes.
FROST: Yes. What's your reaction to that?
GRISWOLD: I think it would be unwise, at this point, to pursue a constitutional amendment because the debate, both within churches and certainly within civil society, I think needs to continue, and I'm fearful that a constitutional amendment at this time would preclude the continuation of that debate.
FROST: What is the attitude of the Church in North America to divorced clergy?
GRISWOLD: I think the Episcopal Church's attitude to divorce is, I think, far more liberal than is the case here in the UK. For a number of years, we have made it possible for divorced people to be married, remarried within the Church, with the bishop's permission, and indeed some of our clergy and bishops have themselves been divorced and remarried.
FROST: Is it possible do you think, Bishop Griswold, that in the end the only way that these deep divisions can be solved is by saying okay, no more Anglican union as such, we'll just be a sort of federation of different churches? Is that the only way to solve this one?
GRISWOLD: I think it's worth pointing out that the Church is for the sake of the world, not for the sake of its own self preservation. My sense is that if we draw deeply from the wellspring of grace and goodness and divine compassion that is at the very heart of the Church's life, we will find a way to continue forward with our different perspectives.
I think it's worth pointing out that Anglicanism, historically, was an effort to contain radical differences, a reformation consciousness in a Catholic consciousness within a context of common prayer, in which one point of view was not the answer but the ability to come together around word and sacrament.
And I think that continues to be the heart and centre of the Anglican experience and that, I think, could carry us through these difficult times.

Many modern housewives who are trying to harvest meat for the future, are wondering: how to cook the stew in a slow cooker? In fact, it is very simple. You do not have to put a lot of effort. However, a stew cooked in a slow cooker doesn't yield to its homemade stew cooked in the usual way.
How to cook a stew in a Multicooker Redmond?
Among the ingredients for making this stew is the onions and carrots. This is explained by the wateriness of vegetables, which can spoil the taste of canned food.
- Meat (chicken, pork, lamb)
- Salt, spices, bay leaf - to taste
- Take the meat, wash it and cut it into pieces. If necessary, free from bones.
- Put the prepared meat into the bowl of the multicooker, turn on the mode of "Quenching" and cook the stew for 6 hours.
- When cooking a stew in a multivarcedredmond, it is not necessary to add water, since it is not evaporated in this multicooker. Ingredients do not burn, because a sufficient amount of fat and liquid is released from the meat during stewing.
- An hour before the end of cooking for meat you need to add bay leaf and spices.
- Banks for rolling stew should be sterilized in the oven, after washing them. Covers for cans boil a couple of minutes in boiling water.
- Put the prepared stew in cans, cover with liquid that remained in the multicooker bowl.
- Banks with a stew should be rolled up and stored in a refrigerator or other cool place.
- However, the stew can be stored in a container. To do this, the container must be well washed and dried. Then spread the cooked meat and wait until it cools. Now close the container with a lid and place in the freezer.
Cooking beef in a multi-cooker-pressure cooker
- Beef - 1 kg
- Red onion - 1 head
- Garlic - 5 cloves
- Bay leaf - 3 pcs.
- Black pepper peas, salt - to taste
- Cut beef into medium-sized pieces, cut onions and garlic as well. Put it all in the crock-pot, add bay leaves, pepper and salt to taste.
- Put the slow cooker on the "Chef" mode, set the timer to 90 minutes. It is not necessary to add water to the stew.
- When 90 minutes expire, do not open the multicooker lid, but leave the stew inside. The slow cooker should be in heating mode for a few more hours. For convenience of preparation, it is better to do it at night.
- Transfer the prepared stew into prepared sterilized jars and put in the refrigerator. You can also freeze the stew in a plastic container.
Chicken Stew Recipe
- Fresh chicken - 4.5 kg
- Salt, black peppercorns, bay leaf - to taste
- Water - 100-125 ml.
- Before you start cooking the stew, prepare the chicken, slicing it. With small pieces of chicken it will be easier to cut off the meat needed to cook the product.
- To cut the bird, lay it on the board and cut it in half with a knife. Now cut the ham from each part and divide it into a drumstick and thigh. Cut each of the chicken halves across in portions.
- If you have a whole chicken, then cut the neck and set it aside. This part of the bird for the preparation of the stew will not work.
- Rinse each portion of chicken thoroughly under running water. Remove skin and remove excess liquid from meat using paper towels. Now that the portions are completely ready, take them one at a time and cut the meat so that there are no bones left.
- Do not throw away the deferred bones and neck, they will be useful for making broth.
- Place the finished chicken pieces in a deep bowl.
- Now go to the sterilization of cans. To do this, pour water into a deep pan. Put a pot of water over medium heat. While the water is warming, thoroughly clean the inner walls and bottom of the cans with baking soda. Put the prepared jars on the kitchen table with the neck up and cover them with lids (which must also be cleaned beforehand).
- When the water boils, place a metal sieve or grate on the pot. Place the jars on the resulting design, with the neck down. They need to be sterilized for 15 minutes, until drops begin to form on the inner walls of the jar.
- After that, with the help of kitchen tacks, move the jars to clean towels with the neck down. To sterilize the caps, simply dip them for 15 minutes in boiling water, and then also put them on a clean towel.
- We proceed directly to cooking the stew in a slow cooker. Place the prepared chicken pieces in the multicooker bowl and add some clean water.
- In the device set the mode "Quenching". Cook the stew for about 4 hours.
- An hour before the end of cooking, add bay leaves, black peppercorns and salt. Mix all ingredients well with a spoon and continue cooking in the set mode.
- When the stew is ready, lay it on the banks, tightly close the jars with lids. Put the stew in jars and cover with a blanket. When the stew has cooled, place it in the refrigerator for storage.
Despite the simplicity of preparation, the stew in a slow cooker turns out very tasty. Most likely, you do not even have to keep it for a long time, because this delicious dish is quickly eaten. This stew can be eaten independently, with a side dish, used for recipes as a substitute for fresh meat.

"Anime is something of an acquired taste", is what I like to say to anyone who tries to poke fun at this little treasure of mine. It gets better with time. At first, anime can be deemed as exaggerated and overdramatic. With the language barrier and animated cartoons, it can be a little complicated while watching. I'm convinced some people only feel this way because they merely don't understand it. Anime is simply the Japanese term for animation. From our favorite childhood cartoons to the mature/adult themed cartoons, they are all simply animation. Furthermore, accommodations are made for watchers who don't understand the dialect. There are different types of anime that have the potential to appeal to anyone and it all depends on your cup of tea!
Ouran Highschool Host Club
Ouran Highschool Host Club does not compare to action-filled anime but instead it consists of romance, comedy, and drama. Haruhi Fujioka has been accepted into one of the most prominent high school's in Tokyo, Japan. Appearing to the audience as boy, this particular quirk sets the tone for the show. After an accident, Haruhi joins a group dubbed the "Ouran Academy Host Club" which consists of six boys who make it their duty to entertain female students with delicious food, tea, and conversation. Even after discovering she is a female, they decide to keep her secret due to being a "natural". Throughout the series, Haruhi and her friends embark on many adventures, end up in silly situations, become closer like family, and discover love on the way. Doesn't that sound amazing? Although I like to watch fights and objects being blown up, Ouran High School Host Club has in fact found its way into my heart. "Kiss kiss fall in love!".
Naruto/Naruto: Shipudden
I'm sure this rings a bell to most of you as soon as you saw the name, right? Right? Naruto, one of the most iconic and influential anime shows to date, has made it to this list because it is one of the first shows that I discovered at a young age. Naruto has set the tone for my interest of the culture and I can say that I wasn't disappointed. Divided into two parts, Naruto and Naruto: Shipudden will make you laugh, cry, yell, cry, and cry some more. Naruto Uzumaki is a young ninja who finds it difficult to be accepted by his village and peers but with big dreams of becoming the leader of the village, the Hokage. The audience follows Naruto throughout all of his ordeals including the people around him. Consisting of great songs, character development, great animation and storyline, this show is highly recommended. In my opinion, Naruto has many references of life lessons that a lot of people can relate to everyday life. You'll be complaining about filler episodes in no time yet still be hooked. "Believe it!".
Attack on Titan
In the beginning, I judged this show minutes into the first episode. The gigantic titans are absolutely grotesque and terrifying to look at. If I'm throwing you off, have no fear. Attack on Titan is set in a world where humanity lives closed off from most of the world because of Titans whose sole purpose seems to be snacking on humans. Titans resemble humans a lot except they have weird limbs, facial expressions, mannerisms, oh and they range from 3 meters to 50 meters in height! Eren Yeager and his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert join the military to fight against these titans when they become of age all for different reasons. Let me just say what hooked me to this show the second time around were the secrets! Secrets upon secrets. Along with that you get badass characters like Levi Ackerman who oozes the word "cool", people eaten by a Titan every second, and great action. It's very medevial-like but futuristic at the same time. A must watch, two thumbs up!
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Code Geass: LeLouch of the Rebellion or simply Code Geass focuses on Lelouch vi Brittania. Consisting of royal blood, LeLouch is exiled as a young child along with his little sister by their own father. One day, he happens across a device called a Geass and with the power it holds, LeLouch decides to retaliate against the people who wronged him and other countries, the Holy Brittanian Empire. Even though it doesn't have a lot of episodes, the plot, storyline and characters are consistent. Throughout the series, you can evidently see how LeLouch becomes a vigilante and even though his intentions are meant well, he becomes hated as well as loved. As for myself, I secretly wanted him to be caught and locked up. Or is that just me? Trigger warning, prepare to bawl your eyes out. That seems to a consistent theme in anime.
One Piece
Ladies and gentleman, queue the trumpets! Introducing my favorite anime of all the time, no this is not biased (maybe a little), One Piece. One of the most longest running animes to date, One Piece centers on Monkey D. Luffy and his crew the Strawhat Pirates. Luffy is on a quest to finding the world's greatest treasure "One Piece" and becoming the Pirate King. One Piece holds some of the most heartfelt storylines and character backgrounds. Not to mention you're sure to be laughing quite a lot. Personally, I recommend One Piece solely because of the characters and throughout the entire thing, you can't help questions many things and create theories of your own. What exactly is One Piece? What happened during the Void Century? The Strawhats go on many adventures, some of them very bizarre. Sitting on 800 plus episodes and still going strong, One Piece is an epic show.

This autumnal jam pairs the artful taste of Concord grapes against the compelling camphor scent of rosemary, and although these local heirloom grapes have a candy sweetness, the jam equally holds promise as a savory condiment, perhaps served alongside crunchy quails grilled over a wood fire. Try it as a condiment on your next rib-eye steak topped with blue cheese. Wow your guests when you serve it with beef stroganoff. They won't be disappointed.
*For a morning treat spread this wonderful jam on any savory breakfast bread or scone.

For more information on passports, visas, travel insurance, and other general travel logistics, don't forget to consult your handy dandy Welcome Package!
Welcome to what is sure to be a unique, unexpected, and whirlwind adventure! Up ahead lies a journey jam-packed with immersive insight, beautiful spaces, busy places, and wonderful people (not least yourself!) in a country that is a mystery to most, a misconception to some, and an incredibly welcoming surprise to those brave enough to venture off the beaten path.
Even more exciting is the fact that we'll be treading new ground with you. You're about to embark on OG's first ever program in Bangladesh to explore an issue that, in a very simple but powerful way, links everyone across the globe: the clothes we're wearing right now.
This is particularly exciting for the program design nerds at OGHQ like myself, as we're able to use all the experience we've gained over 10 years of running programs in 7 diverse regions around this beautiful planet to create a relevant program that takes people to a country that most people wouldn't even think of visiting.
In short, hats off to you for pushing the envelope of expectation and understanding by deciding to take the plunge and join us on this journey! You are now on the precipice of an experience which has the potential to shape the way you see the world, and the way you see your own path.
Of course, I'd love to rewrite that last sentence and skip out the word 'potential', but actually, we can only provide potential. That last bit – turning potential into reality – is ultimately down to you. It's in how you approach this experience, the humility you bring, the preconceptions you leave behind, the positivity that will fuel you, the empathy needed to support another person. Are you ready to truly open your senses and mind to all that Bangladesh has to teach you?
If that seems like a lot, take a little heart knowing that for the many backpacktivists who've come before you, I've yet to meet one who didn't succeed.
Get ready for one heck of a ride!
Bon voyage!
South Asia Regional Director
The trip of your life is about to begin and these are just a few of the amazing things you can expect!
*Click on each day to get the full details on the day's excursions*
Orientation in Dhaka
We dive deep into our adventure as soon as we arrive in Bangladesh's capital of Dhaka. Prepare your senses as we get to know this intensely bustling city! During our in-country orientation, we'll learn about the history of Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan, hop on one of many colorful rickshaws, boat and float along the Buriganga river, practice our bartering skills, and sample the many sights, smells, and delicious tastes Dhaka has to offer.
We'll also kick start our explorations of the garment industry by speaking with partners who have a deep understanding of the space. We'll speak with Anusheh from Jatra and, via Skype, Andrew Morgan, the director of True Cost.
Traipsing to Thanapara Village
We hit the road with a journey to Thanapara Village in the northwest of Bangladesh on the riverbank of Padma. An 8-hour bus ride from Dhaka, we'll take this time to take in the roadside views of Bangladesh while preparing to meet our first partner – the Thanapara Swallows Development Society.
Dying, Weaving, and Embroidery with Swallows
Welcome to Bangladesh's first fair trade collective! Founded 20 years ago, the Thanapara Swallows Development Society (or Swallows) is a women's cooperative involved in every stage of the fair trade garment production process. Their handicraft program consists of dying, bobbin, design, weaving, sewing, and embroidery. The artisans here make a wider range of products – from handloom fabrics to men and women's clothing – using only local materials. Profits and proceeds from their products are then used to build the community's school and medical centre.
We'll spend a chunk of our time living and learning side by side with these women to gain a better understanding of what it takes to create an ethical fashion and garment industry. We'll take part in a deep knowledge exchange as we get our hands dirty in dying and weaving workshops while also helping out in the local school!
Fun tidbit: People Tree, featured in the critically acclaimed documentary, True Cost, sources their products from Swallows!
Journey to Cox's Bazar
We're off to another journey by bus! From Thanapara, we make our way south-east to Cox's Bazar! We'll make a quick pit-stop back in Dhaka to stretch our legs and then we forge ahead!
We'll cap our whirlwind adventure for a program debrief known as 'disorientation' prior to flying home. We'll settle in at Cox's Bazar, home to the longest continual natural beach in the world. It's the place where both locals and tourists come to play and relax, away from the general hustle and bustle of the country. With a stunning beach backdrop and the breezy freshness of the Bay of Bengal, we'll relive memories of the program, reminisce about our wild and wonderful experiences, discuss how to stay connected, and brainstorm project collaborations for the future.
Then off to the airport for some tearful goodbyes!
In the age of Google, we decided that an interactive map is the only way to roll. Feel free to play around with it, make it your browser's homepage, and share it with your friends and family. Soon enough we'll be on the ground doing that route for real.
The global fashion industry is a complex beast; it's hard to imagine where to even begin. But we're here to peel back the layers in the very place that produces such a huge bulk of our clothing. Employing about 4 million people – mostly women – the fast fashion industry is now worth $19 billion annually. It is a huge force that has massive repercussions for both consumers and producers.
Over these two weeks, we will explore the hidden complexity behind fast fashion — an industry inextricably linked to both devastating exploitation and hopeful progress, as it lifts millions of young women out of abject poverty through employment. We will uncover the garment industry's environmental effects and discover how it is inextricably linked to women's rights and empowerment.
As we meet with experts and industry insiders, we'll learn how we as individuals can trigger change by wearing our values.

Bangladesh, or the People's Republic of Bangladesh, is the 8th most-populous country in the world, bordered by India, Myanmar, and the Indian Ocean. The word Bangladesh means "The Nation of Bangla". referring to both the people who have lived and the language spoken in this region since long before the British colonized the region.
Bangladesh is home to 700 rivers, and is the delta for three of Asia's largest: the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Meghana. This huge river delta creates an incredibly fertile and biodiverse landscape throughout most of Bangladesh. In fact, the country is home to the largest mangrove forest in the world, the Sunderbans, as well as one of the longest uninterrupted beaches in the world, Cox's Bazaar. This incredible natural environment is one of Bangladesh's biggest assets, and directly supports 65% of the population who still live in a rural setting and who live off the land.
When the British left the subcontinent in 1947, "British India" was partitioned into India and the Dominion of Pakistan, which consisted of modern day Pakistan and Bangladesh. It was not until December 1971, at the end of the bloody armed conflict now known as the Bangladesh Liberation War, that Bangladesh seceded from Pakistan and gained its independence. In 1972, it was recognized as an independent state by almost all members of UN.
British colonization, conflicts with Pakistan, and years of political instability has left a legacy of wartime devastation and poverty. As a result, Bangladesh received large amounts of International aid at the time in its early days as a young independent nation. But since reverting to a parliamentary democracy in 1991, Bangladesh has fast become a world leader in development. In 1990, 57% of the country lived in poverty, but that number was halved by 2014. More than that, Bangladesh has seen development in health, education, gender equality, and food production that is far greater than seen in other countries with comparable circumstances. Now considered a major developing country, Bangladesh is listed as one of the "Next Eleven", one of eleven counties with the high potential of becoming among the world's largest economies in the 21st century.
Modern Bangladesh is a rapidly changing place, where the echoes of war and empire are within living memory, but where incredible potential and optimism is just within reach. It's an incredible time to explore this country seldom traveled!

The sooner you let us know what you need from us, the sooner we can get back to you.
This is not a vagabond's adventure nor is it a five-star jetsetter's cruise. We will be sleeping and eating as a team in basic hostel accommodation that reflect a backpacker's ethos. Expect at least two people to a room, possibly sharing double beds when necessary. Creepy crawlies are common, hot water can't always be guaranteed, and there may be the occasional squat toilet – so come prepared! Living as Bengalis do sometimes means living without some of the comforts to which we're accustomed, but you can be sure that we'll be sharing in the wonderful simplicity of life in this part of the world.
Remember, the rule of thumb is always to pack as lightly as possible! So pack your bag and then remove half of it. You won't need most of it…we promise!
Because we're not wheelie-baggers, we're backpackers! We recommend going to an outdoor adventure store and getting a pack fitted to you.
Though we won't be hiking most of our days, we will be doing lots of walking and exploring every day! And remember, we'll be taking long bus rides, working with established organizations, and did we mention it can get pretty warm in Bangladesh? The biggest thing is to pack for comfort. Try not to bring anything too restrictive, but also bear in mind that when hiding from the sun, less is definitely NOT more. Lightweight layers will actually keep you cooler.
And don't be fooled, it's not all heat! The evenings and nights can get quite cool so layers will definitely be your friend.
All program leaders are equipped with First Aid Kits, so though it is useful to have basics like Advil or Tylenol, you don't need to pack a pharmacy. There will be a medical form sent out closer to the program start date so you can outline any specific mental or physical health issues we should be aware of before the program. This completed medical history form signed by a physician is mandatory for participation in all OG programs. Click here to learn more.
No need for a computer, iPhone, iPad, or anything similar as we will have access to a computer when we have access to the internet!
We recommend that you bring $200-300 USD, which you can conveniently change into regional currency at an in-country currency exchange. While one of the easiest options tends to be withdrawing local currently from an ATM using your debit card, it's always good to have some exchangeable cash on hand in case of emergencies.
At Operation Groundswell, we forge partnerships with local NGOs and charities to work with them on community-requested projects. This means that the communities we work with decide what kind of partnership they are looking for, how we as volunteers can be best put to use, and how our community contribution can most effectively help them achieve their goals. It also means we don't always know in advance what will be needed in our partner communities or how we can best serve. Seasonal weather patterns, a changing political climate, and organizational needs may change so get ready to adapt like a true backpacktivist!
Though we spend solid days on the ground getting our hands dirty and volunteering, a larger chunk of our time is spent learning from our partners to better understand the underlying issues and challenges that they face. We're not going to "save Bangladesh" in our short time together, but we will be making deep connections with and learning immensely from the real change makers on the ground!
Ever since its creation in 1973, the Thanapara Swallows Development Society (TSDS) has been working to improve the lives and opportunities of their community. Their mission is to empower the poor and underprivileged population by eradicating illiteracy, creating health awareness and self-employment, raising awareness among the landless for the rights of land, and empowering women by creating economic and social awareness. The scope of their work covers vocational training, human rights education, agricultural support, and, of course, fair trade production. TDSD was the first ever fair trade cooperative in Bangladesh.

Aaron Rodgers says he played 2018 season on fractured leg
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed on the "Wilde & Tausch Show" that he played the entire 2018 season on a fractured leg.
"I had a tibial plateau fracture and obviously an MCL sprain. So that was very painful. If you watch the hit back, just my two bones here that come together on the outside just kind of made an indent fracture. Very painful," Rodgers said on the radio show.
Rodgers suffered the injury when he was hit by Bears linebacker Khalil Mack in the first game of the season.
He also talked about suffering a concussion in Week 17.
"I'm proud of the fact that I started 16 games. It's disappointing how it ended, getting that concussion was disappointing and also a little scary, honestly. I couldn't see. I lost vision," Rodgers added.
On Monday, the "Wilde & Tausch Show" aired a portion of the interview where Rodgers responded to the bombshell article in the Bleacher Report. That story revealed a hostile relationship between Rodgers and former coach Mike McCarthy.
Rodgers called the article a "smear attack."

IPL PHOTOFACIAL Rejuvenation Treatment with Radio Frequency
What is IPL Photofacial?
IPL is Intense Pulse Light therapy designed to boost collagen and elastin in the dermal layers of the skin.
How does IPL Skin Rejuvenation with Radio Frequency work?
IPL technology penetrates and heats the deeper layers of skin, activating fibroblast cells within the deeper layers of skin to produce new collagen and elastin and stimulate cell regeneration. The Collagen plumps up the skin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles while the Elastin helps to firm skin that has began to sag. This whole process results in skin that appears more youthful, smoother, healthier and more radiant.
How does IPL Skin Rejuvenation treat Spider Veins and Rosacea?
IPL therapy uses multiple wavelengths of light and radio frequency to treat the effected area. Effectively, the structures of the condition causing rosacea, pigmentation, broken capillaries or simply the aging of the skin, absorb the precise energy levels, which then destroy the causes of these conditions and promote production of new collagen and elastin.
How does IPL Skin Rejuvenation treat Acne?
IPL Acne treatments utilise a high intensity light source and radio frequency to penetrate through the tissue and destroy acne bacteria quickly and easily.
How does IPL Skin Rejuvenation treat Pigmentation?
IPL technology has been used with great success to remove pigmented areas on the skin. Using this state of the art technology, charged energy light (IPL) and radio frequency (RF) are selectively emitted and absorbed by the pigmented areas, sparing the normal surrounding tissue. Skin pigmentation in the face, neck, chest and hands can be treated safely and effectively.
What are the results?
Over time and with the right course of treatment, the condition becomes visibly reduced resulting in rejuvenated, collagen enhanced, tighter and younger looking skin.
How many treatments are needed?
Treatment is broken up into sessions, and you need only have the number of sessions that allow you to achieve your goals.

Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment to Hold Members' Day Hearing on Proposals for WRDA 2020
Washington, DC- Today, Chair of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Peter DeFazio (D-OR), and Chair of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment Grace F. Napolitano (D-CA), announced that the Subcommittee will hold a Members' Day Hearing to examine Members' priorities in development of the Water Resources Development Act of 2020 (WRDA).
This hearing is an opportunity for all Members of the House of Representatives to highlight issues of importance in their district as it relates to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Testimony from this hearing will inform the Committee in the development of a new WRDA, which the Committee expects to approve this year.
WRDA is legislation that is essential to the everyday lives of Americans and our economy. Nearly 80 percent of traded goods move through our Nation's ports, harbors, and inland waterways. Projects for flood damage reduction help protect both our rural and urban communities, benefiting millions of Americans. And, ecosystem restoration projects restore and maintain our vital natural resources. This important work, carried out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is made possible through the enactment of WRDA. For more information on WRDA 2020 click here.
More information about the hearing, including Member testimony, additional background information, and live webcast, can be found here once available.

Typically a cursor is used for that purpose which points to the current element. However, queues provide access methods to put a data element at the end and to get the first data element first-in first-out FIFO behaviour.
You also hide the implementation details of this type in your implementation file. This handle is used in every provided procedure to uniquely identify the list in question. Teoorija with the next chapters additional features of object-orientation are introduced which makes object-oriented programming to cpl new programming technique. However, there is only one state per module and each module exists at most once in the whole program.
To enable usage of general procedures or groups of procedures also in other programs, they must be separately available. Instead of calling a procedure which we must provide with the correct list handle, we would directly send a message to the list object in question.
Cpp teorija download
The resulting module structure is therefore oriented on the operations rather than the actual data. We do not specify, pcp this handle is actually represented or even implemented. Since this example is just used to illustrate these concepts and problems it is neither complete nor optimal. Roughly speaking, we can distinguish the following learning curve of someone who learns program:. Thus, the flow of data can be illustrated as a hierarchical graph, a treeas shown in Fig.
Consequently, in cases of errors you can narrow your search to those places which are not proven to be correct. Singly cpl lists just provides access methods to append a new element to their end and to delete the element at the front.
All procedures now operate on this handle rather than a module global list. One could say that the defined operations specify the data to be used. You were right, if this would be all about object-orientation. The overall function of the list is always the same, whether we store apples, numbers, cars or even lists. However, the example implies some problems which we will outline cop.
Index of /~murkos/Teorija in vaje/LAV/Software_145/KRMILJA/PIC/HT-C/BIN
But what, if you need more than one list in one of your programs? This is a fundamental principle in software engineering, so let's repeat it: You all know singly linked lists which use a very simple structure, consisting of elements which are strung together, as shown in Fig. You hide information of the actual implementation information hiding. Consider the following example which the compiler cannot check for correctness:.
Decoupling of data and operations leads usually to a structure based on the operations rather than the data: A code frame for this would look like this:. We can illustrate this as feorija in Fig. For example a queue can be structured like a singly linked list.
For example you might want to release allocated memory. The lifetime of a list is also defined by its scope, hence, it must be created once the scope is entered and destroyed once it is left. The calls to provided procedures remain the same. Therefore it would be nice to declare a new list with something like:.
Teorija CPP: cestnoprometni predpisi : (za interno uporabo) – Bojan Krajnc – Google Books
The main program directly operates on global data. Now a program can be viewed as a sequence of procedure calls. Object-oriented programming solves some of the problems teodija mentioned.
Now modules group data representations together. For example insertion might be done such that an order over the elements is achieved or not.
Formats and Editions of Teorija CPP : cestnoprometni predpisi : (za interno uporabo) []
Isn't this just a more vpp modular programming technique? If you want to use a list within a procedure, say, foo you use the following code frame:. Consequently, there is no longer the need to explicitly call a creation or termination procedure.

Dragon Ball Z..god Of Anime?
do you agree???
seeing as though DBZ is my favroite anime and all I think it is the anime to end all anime's!
Hell no. :S
i dont agree, i only think of it as good because it was the first anime series i ever saw. But in comparison to many others ive seen recently, DBZ sucks. But it still has that special place in my heart lol. Rurouni Kenshin is my god of anime.
Nope, sorry sliced bread. I think just about any anime beats out DBZ. DBZ is too drawn out and full of utterly impossible events occuring every other episode. I can't stand any of the characters, either, except maybe for the little bald guy (he seems to have a good head on his shoulders, minus the hair).
lol yeah but krillin was incredibly weak, but incredibly funny, but incredibly panzy....ugh so many contradicting factors...
Yeah, aren't the good characters always like that? They make them smart, but weak. No wonder I don't watch it.
yes...Kuwabara is like that, minus the smart aspect lol.
Kuwabara is smart in a different way. He is smart on the battlefield, and humorous off the battlefield. He may not be the brightest bulb en la caja (box), and he may not be the main character, but he's still the most likeable character in the series.
oh yeah most definitely. Yusuke is likeable too, especially as he matures during the dark tournament, but Dragonball Z has no real characters like that...

Mercedes-Benz OE No.
Current No.: 1645401017 Prior No.: 2205401517
Common in higher end or luxury vehicles, the disk brake pad wear sensor is designed to alert drivers when the brake pad is approaching the end of its life and needs to be replaced. The sensor is very simple, effectively a loop of wire that extends up from the back of the brake pad to the minimum spec depth. As long as the electrical loop is complete, the light will stay off. As soon as the brake pad wears to the minimum thickness, the loop will be exposed to the brake rotor and will break. As soon as the wire breaks, the light will illuminate.
If your vehicle comes with wear sensors, it is important to buy new ones with every brake job to avoid having a continuous light illuminated on your dash.

Annual Meeting
Everyone who attended the Federation annual meeting at Springfields, Spalding had a great time. The feedback was very positive with many members saying that it was the best one yet! We enjoyed some excellent speakers including Nikki Cooke from LIVES, Caroline Bingham from Lincolnshire Life, Revd Christine Pennock (who had us in stitches) and Adam Smith who entertained us in the afternoon with songs and stories from many West End musicals.
We were all encouraged by Adam to join in with his singing. All the committees had first-rate stands. The Advisers celebrated International Women's Day by staging a quiz for members to identify inspirational women and to match quotes that were attributed to them.
There were some lovely local crafts people selling a variety of items including jams, chutneys, cakes and honey to buy plus a WI sales table
At the end of the meeting Debbie gave her thanks to all for the loyal support that she had received over the ten years that she had been Federation Chairman. She had chosen to take this opportunity to stand down and thanked all those who had helped make it an enjoyable time. She spoke of Royal visits to the Federation and of the Royal garden parties that she had attended and said that she felt lucky to have had these experiences

Retire from Driving
(Please see below for more information and a link of reference)
I wanted to touch on a subject that some of my clients have expressed a concern. I know that from personal experience I can also relate to this as well; Driving Safely! Let's face it, as an everyday driver, you really have to be aware, attentive and defensive to people on the road. There comes a point where we actually need to consider retiring from driving. This could be a tough topic to broach with your aging parent, but I have a solution for you. If you are you worried about your aging loved one driving safely on the road, than you should consider the "Enhanced Self-Assessment Program" this is a tool that has been used by thousands of families across the United States and Canada. It helps guide families and older adults through the stressful and potentially life-threatening issue of when it is time to stop driving.
Driving is a passage of independence. Think back to when you were a teenager just getting your license and given the ability to drive by yourself, on your own time, wherever you wanted (of course if mom and dad allowed it!). Now, think about having that taken away or needing to give it up due to the natural cycle of aging; it's tough! If we are lucky, our aging loved ones decide to get out from behind the wheel on their own. But, this is often not the case. Instead, family members worry about their loved one on the road while the older adults insists to drive. A common conflict between not waiting until it's too late to take action and "taking the keys away".
This unique program was developed by an Ohio ex-state trooper, Matt Gurwell, and a team of gerontologists. This program is a self-assessment taken by the older adult and guided one-on-one by a certified BDD (Beyond Driving with Dignity). This assessments takes the older adult on a journey of self-reflective questions to analyze their abilities and skills related to driving. This program GUARANTEE'S dignity and respect while upon completion and after review and under recommendation of the BDD, the older adult is actually the one who makes the final decision. As the program founder Matt Gurwell says, we need to "limit driving, not living." Time is spent before and after the self-assessment with the family to ensure transportation alternatives are in place and to share the decision. The goal of this program is a peaceful resolution to this difficult issue while acknowledging and respecting the older adult.
To get more information about this program for your loved one, contact Matt Gurwell, founder of Keeping Us Safe.

Laminated prayer card with verse on back 4 x 2 inches.
Verse reads: The greatest gift that God could send He sends with love to you: A sweet and helpless little child, An obligation, too.
Each baby that God gives to us is merely lent awhile To cherish, love, protect and guard From every sane and wile.
To form within its childish heart His image good and true. God bless this tiny newborn baby, and may He bless you too!
