Pop Ambient 2012
I'm mentioning Kompakt's Pop Ambient compilations all the time in many a review, so I might as well get serious and review the latest installment of the long-running high-class series and allow it the place in the limelight it deserves. Let me tell you in advance that I am very fond of the Cologne compilation for personal, nostalgic reasons, as many good things happened to me in the winter months when each entry is usually released. However, even when taking an entirely objective stance – if that's even possible –, the music press acknowledges the importance of the the series. In 2012, the series is still surprisingly stripped down, humble and doesn't take itself too important, providing the perfect environment for enjoying the music either as a background sound wall, while working at home or with your attentive ears wide open. As usual, there are flowers featured on the front artwork and the contributions of the 10 artists on the back. None other information is given, it is all about the music and your relaxation. It is as if the time stands still and nothing has changed since 2001. This is exactly the feeling I want to preserve when listening to the Pop Ambient series, and despite two experimental tracks, the 2012 entry keeps things mellow and streamlined, giving the listener exactly what he or she expects.
Manifesto by Mohn, the new project of Jörg Burger and Wolfgang Voigt, opens the disc and is a remarkably thick and corpulent track with 15-second long punchy and dark synth pad pulses whose sustain is accompanied by vaulted dub bass lines and muffled sizzles. The concept of space and sound is of importance on this track: after each synth burst follows a fragility that is even more brittly due to the swirling bass lines. A towering intro track that is incredibly dusky – especially when only the blurred synths and bass lines are heard – but nonetheless soothing. Jackson is the first Ambient track by dance combatant Superpitcher. A howling synth string is accompanied by much more prominent synth pads of warmth and brightness. A thronging, vestigial piano loop enters and quietly shimmering bells fade in for a short time as well. The piano loop grows larger and overtakes the song and builds the focus. Everything fades out a few moments after this high point. Pan by Morek is next, and Kompakt makes a big secret about the artist's real name behind the pseudonym. However, he is said to be known in the Kompakt universe. Anyway, Morek delivers the warmest track on this release with slowly pulsating acoustic guitar chords that are warped almost beyond recognition. Rain-like burbles and sudden slightly oriental tottering pluckings of a stringed instrument enter the mix. The intertwined peacefulness of the background strings with the playful warmth of the oscillating counterparts makes this a mellow and yet lively track. Coming up next is Magazine, the project of Daniel Ansorge, Jens-Uwe Beyer and John Harten. Their inclusion is a huge surprise, for their style of sawtooth Kraut rock and glacial static noise-fests doesn't make them a logical conclusion. They are nonetheless featured on this volume with their very own remix of the song The Visitor's Bureau, and boy, do the guys achieve great things with a standard formula: leaving out the beats of the original in order to let the synth pads shine. On top of this, however, they complement these pads with compellingly spectral synth washes of cherubic quality. The whole mood remains icy and in the realms of airy spirits. A rather cold song due to its elevated nature, but richly textured and very thick. Triola's Richmodis follows and is similar to Mohn's Manifesto with its clanging background pads, but swirling laser-like sound effects, tone shifts and reverberated hi hats make this a livelier track. The mood, however, is the same. It is deep and yet brightened by fade-ins of magnificent wind chimes. A spellbinding track and a huge favorite – Triola delivers on every Pop Ambient release, and his entry on the 2012 edition is no exception!
The second half begins with Rückverzauberung 5 (meaning re-enchantment) by Wolfgang Voigt. He picks up the threads he left on the 2011 release which featured Rückverzauberung 1 and merged ecclesial strings with shimmering high-frequency square lead orchestrations and placid sections. The fifth rendition is surprisingly postmodern and jazzy in that it features eerie pianos, coruscating xylophones, incisive accordions and mercurial background strings that further enhance the juxtaposition of despair and mystique and the oscillation between contentment and craziness. Voigt has always been known for his blending of orchestral music with electronic synthscapes, but it is on Rückverzauberung 5 that the real instruments take over the reign with the electronic strings as their subordinates. Even though this track is horribly incongruous on Pop Ambient 2012, the music itself is utterly brilliant. I don't know if many people appreciate it in the given surroundings, but I for one like it really much! Next is Bvdub with one of his typically long track titles. Your Loyalty Lies Long Forgotten consists of various multilayered monotonous synth strings. The drone factor is light, but the atmosphere is deep due to the coldness, the repetitively wobbling piano notes and the crescendo near the end when the faux-choir synths get louder and more intense. This track is for the lovers of monotonous but cleverly fleshed out Ambient that features multiple layers that work in unison but are traversed by the occasional cacophony or opposing elements. Swans Reflecting Elephants by Marsen Jules is an unexpectedly drum-heavy tune with staccato improvisations on a classic drum set, icy cymbals, piano sprinkles and warm synth pads. This is yet another track whose melancholy is utterly beautiful, but purposefully broken by the clarion performance on the drums. I am not particularly fond of this style of Ambient music, so this track doesn't do much for me, but the synths are modulated flawlessly and the piano melody is salient. The penultimate track is For Martha by Simon Scott. I am a big fan of his drone Ambient, and all the more surprised by both his inclusion on the compilation and the shift in style he presents here: this is a proper drone track with accompanying scintillas of entrancing angel synths, but the predominant mood is foggy and sad and meanders between three different monotonous parts of which two are played two times and are grouped among a multitextured pulsating core. This song craves for your attention as its synths are dominant and stern. The final track is provided by Axel Willner of The Field fame. Here, he releases an Ambient piece called Riding The Bikes under the name Loops Of Your Heart, and the style presented on this tune is similar to Klimek's Milk And Honey album. Willner's contribution is built on an acoustic guitar loop with wind swirls, gently cascading acid remnants and gleaming background synths. Again, this is Ambient music which I generally don't like – the loop is too obtrusive and I don't dig the whole construction. In fact, the parts I do like are too quiet and happen in the background. A rather weak closing track in my opinion, and I very much prefer Willner's tunes he delivers under his moniker The Field.
The very good news is that Kompakt's Pop Ambient series is still alive and kicking, offering more of the same soothing sounds with no huge surprises, which is fine by me. Not everyone is fond of the same old formula, however. Andrew Gaerig sums it up in his review for Pitchfork as follows: »PA12 is damned by its place in a series that grew stale several years ago.« And you know what? He is right! However, as with every tradition, habit or nostalgic artifact, I embrace the timelessness and the permanent repetition of the formula. Since I am also a huge fan of Exotica music, this is easy for me to say. The world keeps spinning around me, and I am sitting in my hut and dream about the old times. Isn't that … negligent? Whatever it is, I am truly looking forward to every new entry in the series, and it is surely no ironic coincidence that of all things Pop Ambient 2009 is the compilation which I am the least fond of – and which altered the well-known formula heavily with the focus on eschatological soundscapes and acoustic guitar pluckings. Am I a person living in the past, a boring maverick waiting for any change to disappear? The answer, generally, is no. The answer in terms of the Pop Ambient series, however, is yes, and I admit that this is a sad fact. It's just that I've grown so accustomed to the series and that all of its volumes remind me of cozy fun times in winter with grey skies and white streets; I also keep coming back to each volume very often, so they don't fade into the distance. Since this is a highly personal feeling, I cannot get rid of it without getting rid of myself. I can therefore totally relate to listeners and reviewers who favor more exciting and changing Ambient concepts to the veteran series of all Ambient compilation, and if I try very hard to let loose of my rose-tinted nostalgia glasses, I get their point. But I want the Pop Ambient series to continue featuring more of the same with only slight alterations and experiments. So far, my wish was their command, and I am looking forward to the following years.
Not exactly a further reading, but a listening opportunity, for Kompakt allows you to listen to the whole compilation for free on their Pop Ambient 2012 section.

The revenue from stamp duties was N7.5 billion (N7,492,592,658.35), which was N2.3 billion (N2,346,472,953.70) higher than what was realized in 2017 from Stamp Duties which was a total of N5.1 billion (N5,146,119,704.65).
The FIRS said it realised N1 billion (N1,006,543,151.07) from capital Gains Tax , an analysis of which shows that the amount was N65 million (N64,916,270.95) more than the N942 million (N941,626,880.12) in 2017.

School is back in session, and amidst all the excitement of new beginnings there is a mounting, murmuring anxiety for what awaits Jewish students on college campus this year in the wake of the summer's war.
On one side, the situation on campus combines an academic culture that leans far left on issues relating to Israel-Palestine, the high visibility over the summer of what was perceived by some as a disproportionate war, and Israel's growing isolation in parts of the West. At the same time, the Jewish student body that cares about these issues seeks to maintain a combination of a deep relationship with Israel, to be Jewishly visible, and to be fully integrated as Jews in the life of the campus. Mapping this new reality against this aspiration creates dissonance and discomfort, and many of my own conversations with leaders in Jewish campus life have borne out these concerns about what may unfold this fall.
Nevertheless, there is a strategic error already starting to emerge in the Jewish community's predictable response to these concerns, which places the entirety of emphasis on the facts and fictions of the war, and proffers only a militaristic and defensive response in what is ultimately a conflict of ideas. We can already see it coming, in talking points and flashy brochures ("Five Facts College Students Need to Know About the War in Gaza," and the like) that seek to educate retrospectively about a conflict whose optics (we are Goliath, they are David) are not on Israel's side. This instinct is born of defensive thinking: it suggests that when it comes to Israel education, our goals are to explain and defend practices that have already happened, or to reframe the historical realities that have befallen us that are outside our control.
This instinct is problematic in three ways. First, it ironically undermines the core goals of Zionism, which meant to engage the Jewish people in the exercise of being agents of change with respect to our own political, social, cultural, and economic realities. Zionism intended to bridge concrete activism toward Jewish national aspirations with the ongoing act of imagination about the ideal forms that those national aspirations should take. Substituting passive (and worse, retroactive) support in exchange for these activities of imagination replaces participation with a thin patriotism, and substitutes deep belonging for hollow particularism. Zionism and taking Israel seriously should demand of us a willingness to confront what Israel does well and what it does not do well, and should empower us to be change-agents in making possible the Israel we imagine.
Second, this defensive approach tends to reduce our morality to Manichaeism. In this worldview, which is sadly emerging as a louder voice in the Jewish community, the discourse is reduced to 'we are right' and 'they are wrong,' and 'here are the facts to show to ourselves and others.' Loyalty to Israel does not demand, nor does it depend on, the total moral clarity and coherence of all of its actions; if anything, true moral clarity requires a meaningful blending of loyalty to self, empathy to others, and the recognition that short of the battles waged on the Kingdom of Heaven, it is borderline idolatrous to consider any human conflict to be one between the forces of pure light and pure darkness. Conditioning ourselves to be discerning moral thinkers and actors in an atmosphere of moral complexity while remaining loyal to our people and the State of Israel is not a betrayal of Israel; but insisting on a framework of loyalty that requires us to suppress our ethical instincts to both self and other might just be a betrayal of humanity.
And third, these advocacy efforts based on a curated set of facts also undermine the best professionals and educators that we as a Jewish community have in place to do the critical work of student engagement on campus. Our colleagues working at Hillels around the country are talented, and they are driven to do their work by a passion for the big questions of identity, belonging and meaning. They did not go into Jewish education to win a Kafkaesque "color war" mapped onto complex geopolitical realities; they went into this line of work to shape lives and help inform life decisions. To describe them as deployed as 'the front line in a battle', to think of our responsibility as to supply them the weaponry of talking points to be used in a fundamentally unwinnable battle of ideas – this approach and these resources implicitly call into question their ability as professionals to manage nuance, shepherd conversation, steward sophistication, and model a form of leadership that will enable Jewish life to arise above the gutter to which it is being dragged.

Author Profile - Afegbua Shabban
Afegbua Shabban is the 10th son of a family of 18 children. He was born into a royal family called the Afegbua Family on the 19th of April 1973 in a place called Agotelor in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. A native of Okpella, the largest village in Etsako in Edo State, Nigeria, he currently resides in South Africa.
Five Questions with Afegbua Shabban:
I have been writing poems since 1995. I never thought that I would be able to write anything in my life. The first poem I wrote just flashed in my head; it came like an explosion. The poem was called "Restless Life".
2. Who are your favourite poets? Which poets have most inspired and informed your work?
To be very frank with you, I didn't know any poets at the time I started writing poems. Inspiration to me was a spiritual gift. Like I said, I never thought of myself as someone that could write. All the poems I wrote came into my head spontaneously. For example, if I witnessed an event, some few hours after that event, a word or phrase relating to that event would just bump into my head and if I refused to acknowledge it, it would remain there as an assignment that must be done. It would get to a point where if I didn't want to write it down, it became a problem in my head.
I really don't know a name of any poet right now.
3. What do you hope to accomplish with your poetry?
I write poems when the need arises. I don't really think of myself as a poet. I only write when something happens or there is a message in my head.
4. Do you feel Africans feel each others suffering more strongly, or differently, than non-Africans? In other words, do you believe that empathy for tragedies such as the Lagos explosion is universal, or that Africans have a particular connection with one another, be them Nigerian, South African, or Ghanaian, that changes the way they feel the pain of one another's suffering?
This question is very complex but I will try to answer it the way I know it. Africans feel the pains of Africans more than the outside world. This is where pain is conceived and given birth to. Anyone who is born on this soil knows this, but a good number of us tend to deny this obvious fact: Africans caused the suffering in Africa. What happened in Lagos was a result of carelessness and so many people paid with their lives for this careless attitude of those in power at that time.
Yes, Africans have a particular connection with one another, unbelievably. Any man who fails to acknowledge the pain of a fellow man is not fit to be called a man. Pain is the only obvious thing in Africa. Pain is real and whoever denies this is not a man, but a beast.
The suffering in Africa started when the principal gladiators of this continent embraced themselves with an evil friend called power. This is where the will to serve was lost and most of them began to feel stronger than the people that made them who they were. The path of discord was widely opened and evil was embraced like a lost and found old friend. They no longer see anything good about being good. The quest for power monopolies takes precedence and the superstition of false beliefs, dogma, creed and above all, the twisted ignorance of error and selfishness perverted their minds and they became unstable with a daunted memory of what is right and wrong. This led them overboard in the ship of African destiny and the result is the chaos and unrest in this continent today. The people that were chosen to captain the ship of Africa's destiny betrayed God's tender love. They wasped their own will and drove the ship into the crooked lake of discord.
This is how the suffering in Africa began. When a man of power starts to think of himself, degradation, greed, jealousy, envy and hatred will invade his thoughts and the brotherhood of man will be forgotten. Africans created African suffering.
5. Are any Ghanaian poets as well known in South Africa as Dennis Brutus, Oswald Mtshali, etc. are in Ghana? Do you feel there is a connection between the poetry of the two countries?
I really don't know, but the one thing am sure of is that any good poet is known all over the world.

In these lean economic times, words such as "furlough," "regular day off," and "reduced pay" are frequently bantered about. However, each of these terms carries with it specific rules and regulations that must be followed when implemented. Handled improperly, a downsizing or a reduction in pay can damage the public standing of both the organization and its management, and expose the company to costly litigation or government action.

Q: Dropwizard banner.txt is not used Does anyone knows how to use banner.txt in Dropwizard 0.7.1 with eclipse?
From https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/manual/core.html#banners:

Just add a banner.txt class to src/main/resources and it'll print it out when your application starts:

But this does not work for me. The banner.txt is there and also one in bin folder. I found no similar problem (stackoverflow,google).
Does the file need special encoding? Is it enabled (by default) to search for banner.txt in this directory? I'm using ant+ivy instead of maven!

A: I just found out, that eclipse needs the resource dir as source folder on build path:
go to project properties -> Java Build Path -> Add Folder -> go to 'src/main/resources' and activate resources -> OK
Now it works.
For the ant script use this before building the jar (change ant vars if needed):
    <copy todir="${bin}" flatten="true">
        <fileset dir="${src}" casesensitive="yes">
          <include name="**/banner.txt"/>
        </fileset>
    </copy>

'flatten' attribute:

Ignore the directory structure of the source files, and copy all files
  into the directory specified by the todir attribute

Can some one tell me how to report a jerk that plays here? This is the kind of person that makes playing a great game a waste of time.
#2 Fairway
Did they refuse an obvious draw or trashtalk/swear at you?

I have moved this thread to general discussion of multiplayer.
General Croz, if you want to report either type of claim, as Fairway asks you, you can do so in one of the appropriate pinned topics in this same section of the forum.
Also, you might want to check out the General Site and Forum Rules for far more information on the site. Here: http://forum.strateg...rum-rules-2016/

Anyone come across an Axel Schweiss? At 48-10 I was expecting a tough game. Ok he was only gold level but with that sort of record you figure its a good player on the way up. Yet he played line a bronze - brought marsh and gen out first, lost his gen to my marsh really quickly, then lottoed my gen with his marsh but the spy was there, then predictably brought a colonel out and ate bomb. Then ran away like a little girl. I just can't understand how someone who plays like that can be a gold level and 48-10?! (48-11 now lol)

Greetings! I just played a match with someone called Topper6...total kamikaze style of playing...it was like a poor and depraved version of speed chess. I lost the match because this jerk's luck was good. The only satisfaction I have is that such a style cannot last against truly skilled players. Please teach this reprobate a lesson. It was annoying...and this jerk was very arrogant. Phooey!!!
"I try to think, but nothing happens!"
Then ran away like a little girl.
Really, don't be a hypocrite.

Fairway is a dedicated and loyal member of the site and the NASF. This page is about revealing people who play dirty and unsportsmanlike. I have never seen or heard of Fairway doing anything of the such. He actually shows one of the best sportsmanship that I have seen.
iron_maiden.. You forget that a lot of people play on this site and remember a lot of things about the sportsmanship of the players they win and lose to. I have started keeping a folder of disconnects, rude behavior and draw refusals. I don't always have intentions on posting them but I do have the option and I encourage everyone to do the same. Accountability in this way may be one of the strongest tactics to get players to start playing fare and courteous.
As for the reason I came to this page....
There are a handful of low ranked accounts around 400 and lower of players that are actually good but keep there elo low to cause upsets and maximum loss of points to high ranked players. I do not think this is right and actually think it should be grounds for disciplinary action. I don't know if you could actually prove it to the point that a disciplinary action would be upheld but it would be nice.
The player I am going to bring up only gets put on the list because it was not the first time I played him and I recognized a high level of play both times . He keeps his record about .500%. He plays like a platinum and will draw out the game patiently and methodically and knows how to attack unlike a typical 400. He uses info to his advantage and he knows how to capture and defend the lanes with two square well unlike 400s.
His name is....SoSorry. It's almost as if he is saying, so sorry that you are going to underestimate me and then lose 25 points to me after I win. Going into the game I remembered him and prepared myself and sure enough I am glad I did. I did win if anyone wondered but I knew I could not underestimate him or 22 points would go down the drain to a troll just for him to lose them and do it again to another platinum victim.
Has anyone else experienced players like this?

fairway is a loud-mouth considering his rank
http://archive.is/mDZxV
You're right in that we should consider a player's quality. But this quality is in terms of respect to opponents, sports(wo)manship and good behaviour. Being good at Stratego doesn't earn you the right to be a (*^(_*(. Not that anyone is really being one of them here - it's just that 'rank' has nothing to do with anything.

Greetings from the battlefield. You know, I have had the true pleasure of playing against some very nice people recently. They have engaged in polite and fun chatting, and even when they lost, or when I did, there was a good feeling because both of us were playing for the fun of the game.
The Battle Chat harks back to the original idea that players could communicate in good spirit with one another during a match. These days, however, it really appears that too many folks have no manners, no ability to communicate, no willingness to communicate, and are playing ONLY to win. I find this rather sad.
I played a really intense and suspense round with Zed is Dead–he's from Holland. At first, he was ignoring my chats, but then he engaged...wow...what a great round. It was a real photo-finish as they say. I did win, and when I played him again, he kicked my butt up and down the block like nobody's business. You know...he never got mean and we still exchanged fun chat. It made the game so enjoyable.
Just now, I finished a round and surrendered to a jerk called ENOC IZIDIOS. Not friendly (it is his right), indifferent (it is rude), he clearly was receiving my messages but refused to interact–a player who wants to win and nothing more. That is NOT what this game is about! That is only a small part of it, and the most obvious part. Teasing is fine if you're being friendly, but someone will always capture the flag, or will earn the surrender...that's a part of the game.
Anyhow...for the most part, there are a number of excellent players who also are very excellent people, too. I may lose, and I don't mind, but I really dislike the jerks!

Hey dum dum you started it, I don't know you. You think I get to be platinum marshal by disconnecting and losing games? Then you have the nerve to complain when you get shut down for talking? Maybe this is the inexperience of youth we are seeing - you will learn these lessons as you grow older. Right now you are way out of your depth, better stick to the juniors league.

Yaounde, spread over 7 hills, is the capital city of Cameroon, its in the southern part of the country. Seen on this angle, Yaounde has touristics sights to visit and you will be not disappoint. In the next lines we will give you details regarding Yaounde Touristic Sights you don't have to miss.
First of all, as Yaounde Touristic Sights we have National Museum The Cameroon National Museum. Located in city center its become a major point of attraction for many Cameroonians and visitors from across the globe. The origin of this historic building dates back to 1930 years when colonial masters still in control of the territory.
Second we have Blackitude Museum which is an ethnographic museum in Yaounde. The museum project began in March 1998 from a commitment of its founding president. Obviously with the desire to save what remains of Cameroon artistic legacy, this place represents Cameroon in all its diversity. The site owns all Cameroon's Department collections of art objects which has a signification for each district.
Thirdly Benedictine Museum of Mont-Febe, has peculiar items and works of art that portray the nation's diverse culture. The well-maintained venue has a total of four display rooms, surrounded by trimmed lawns and exotic decorative trees. Once you enter, grab a catalogue to fully immerse yourself in the ethnographic museum's mission, history, and exhibits. When you walk through the corridors, including unusual bronze and wooden statues, ivory pipes, and tribal masks. You can purchase a copy of the book-catalogue as a souvenir.
Cameroon's Reunification Monument construction was in the 1970s to memorialize the post-colonial merging of British and French Cameroon. Base in Yaounde, it was name by Gedeon Mpondo and Engelbert Mveng. This monument is therefore a physical representation of the reunification between French and British Cameroons. Hence a depiction of the hopes and dreams of a bilingual Cameroon.
In addition to its historic significance is its enchanting display of architectural impressiveness enhanced by the erstwhile staircase. The banquet hall at the basement and garden making it an ideal location to sit and admire nature.
If your are interest by Cameroon's history and knows independence national heroes, there is Charles Atangana figurine. This statue location is in Yaounde, is a patriotic gentleman who fight for independence of Cameroon. Furthermore you can find a Colonel Leclerc monument, a historical site located in Yaounde city center. On August 27, 1940, Colonel Leclerc becomes the Commander of French Cameroon, appointed by General De Gaulles.

How Ben and Loren Met
By Leah Hakimian July 1, 2021 11:29 am
Ben Arbov first noticed Loren Ben-Shimon at a Shabbat dinner of the Chabad Young Professionals in Chelsea, New York in 2018. Ben was then 27, and Loren, 25.
Loren: "There was no assigned seating and it just happened that we found places next to each other."
Ben: "I liked her from that first evening, though we didn't talk much. I thought she was pretty and nice. But I backed off when I learned that she was in a relationship."
Still, the couple continued to meet at Shabbat and holiday dinners and Ben continued to check on Loren's relationship status with Rabbi Levi Shmotkin, director of the Chabad YP.
Sign up for our newsletter to get must-read New York stories each day
Ben: "Our relationship happened organically and continued to evolve from one Chabad event to the next."
Loren: "Rabbi Shmotkin and his wife, Perel, who is a co-director, are very warm hosts who make everyone welcome and comfortable. It's a great environment to meet new people."
At the Chabad YP Sukkot barbecue, Ben noted that Loren was unattached, and their relationship moved forward a step. Soon they began to date and realized that they both loved pizza.
In fact, they had much more than pizza in common. Ben was born in the U.S. and grew up in Tel Aviv. He served as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces and then graduated from Tel Aviv University with a degree in math, economics and psychology. In New York, he founded GreatestGiftApp.com, a gift registry that helps parents plan for their children's future, which he just launched.
Ben is half Bukharian and half Ashkenazi. "I was brought up in a traditional Jewish home and my cousin suggested that I go to Chabad events when I moved to New York four years ago."
Loren's traditional Jewish upbringing is similar to Ben's. She grew up in Los Angeles to Israeli-born parents, with an Egyptian/Moroccan background.
Ben: "It was important to me to find someone intelligent, funny and energetic, and speaking Hebrew was a huge plus." Loren and Ben say they were both raised with similar values.
Loren started going to Chabad events at UC Berkeley, where she received a B.A. in Political Science and Government. She also attended Chabad in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she worked for Goldman Sachs.

Loren: "Chabad is my home away from home. So it was natural for me to attend Chabad events when I moved to New York in 2018."
Loren is currently a Senior Associate in the Transaction Banking business at Goldman Sachs. "It was important for me to find a partner who appreciates my ambition," she said. "And that's Ben."
'It was important for me to find a partner who appreciates my ambition,' she said. 'And that's Ben.'
When COVID hit New York, the couple decided to quarantine together, and Ben moved into Loren's 300-square-foot studio apartment. That March, an Atlantic magazine article, "How Not to Tank Your Relationship in Quarantine," noted that "couples are either going to grow together or grow apart." Loren and Ben grew together and they soon moved to a larger apartment.
In May 2020, Ben met Loren's family in Los Angeles and later that year Loren met Ben's family in Israel. Another similarity between Loren and Ben: Both of their families are in the jewelry business. Ben's dad was the go-to person for Loren's engagement ring.
On his 30th birthday in May 2021, while the couple was vacationing in Montauk, Ben took the ring, got down on his knee and proposed.
They are planning their wedding for the summer of 2022 in Israel, and hope Rabbi Shmotkin, who was there when they got together, will officiate.
Dr. Leah Hakimian currently researches the question: How Jewish couples meet and marry. In the 90's she founded two nonprofit Jewish matchmaking programs, and continues to champion the role of community in helping singles meet. She resides in Jerusalem and Great Neck, New York.

Rally marks Redfern death
MELBOURNE — Eighty people rallied on the morning of February 14 to commemorate the 2004 death of Redfern teenager TJ Hickey and demand an end to Aboriginal deaths in custody.

It also expressed its support for TJ's mother, Gail Hickey, who has lodged a complaint with the United Nations Human Rights Committee.

Activist faces property seizure
On April 17 a judge issued an order for seizure of property against Sean Pickard, an activist involved in campaigns for Indigenous rights.

[Chat(iOS)] No Information on Game play changes after update
Raiyn
I'm really disappointed with IGG that there were a number of changes to actual game play incorporated in the last update that were no properly addressed or even disclosed. Those involved in the development community shouldn't ignore criticism on things like these and should acknowledge it and work to remedy it. Especially since so many people are pay too play, it shows an attitude of give me your money to play and if you don't like it leave. I really hope that is not the case. Took me over a week for support to acknowledge the troop count issue on assemblies changing and there response was inadequate at best.
IGN: Raiyn

K20 - With Honor Always
I've contacted support on your behalf amd requested more detailed patchnotes for this update and future updates.
I was told that my concern will be adressed within a day (business day) and I should have some information for you by Tuesday at the latest.
This is a copy of the patchnotes provided. Hopefully we will have access to more detailed notes in the future.
Thank you for that Doc, i was able to figure things out over time but it took a while and i think i'm a pretty intermediate player. Instead of listing the changes IGG should have "explained" what these changes means for game play in a facebook post or in the news section. I think because some nerfs were applied while changing the interface they maybe didn't want to explain how game play was effected but every good game and game company for games like this has thorough and concise patch updates and information explaining them.

By bringing both of these materials together, we've created the best clincher tyre out there. It provides a clear-cut performance advantage.

ABERLOUR 12 YR
Scotch is the first powerhouse among the different styles of whisky. As its name implies, it comes from Scotland and is usually made from malted barley, and is sometimes made with other grains such as wheat or corn. Some of the most recognizable Scotches are peated, which means they are made with barley that has been dried over a peat fire (peat is decomposed vegetable matter that has been compressed in the earth over thousands of years), to impart an unmistakable smoky characteristic.
For scotch to be called scotch, after distillation the whisky must also be aged/matured in wooden barrels in Scotland for a minimum of three years. Oftentimes, scotch makers age their whisky in wooden barrels that previously held bourbon or sherry which contributes to the flavor, texture and aroma of the spirit.

Życiorys
Margaret Knight urodziła się 14 lutego 1838 roku, wychowywała się w Maine. W dzieciństwie wykazywała umiejętności techniczne, m.in. budowała sanki i latawce dla braci. W wieku 12 lat opracowała urządzenie awaryjnie zatrzymujące maszyny włókiennicze, które mogło chronić pracowników przed wypadkami. Gdy w 1868 roku pracowała w fabryce papierowych toreb Columbia Paper Bag Company opracowała nową maszynę, dzięki której możliwe było automatyczne składanie i klejenie papierowych toreb o kwadratowych dnach. Patent otrzymała w 1871 roku, po sporze sądowym z Charlesem Annanem, który usiłował przypisać sobie autorstwo technologii. W 1870 roku założyła własną firmę, Eastern Paper Bag Company.

Margaret Knight jest nazywana "żeńskim Edisonem", łącznie uzyskała 26 patentów, m.in. na nowy typ ram okiennych, maszynę wycinającą zelówki oraz używaną do dziś maszynę do składania papierowych toreb.

Eminem And Spike Lee Join Forces For 'Headlights' Video
Nadeska Alexis/MTV
Eminem isn't finished rolling out visuals for his Marshall Mathers LP 2 album just yet, and it looks like the next video fans can expect is "Headlights."
This weekend Shady made a rare appearance on Instagram (he's up to a whopping 43 posts, currently) to share a photo of himself and Spike Lee on set, with the caption, "Spike came out to The D for the "Headlights" video...Coming soon."
Obviously Em didn't give away too much about the clip, since the photo was just a close-up of himself and the famed director, posing in front of a car. If Spike Lee is directing though, things should get pretty interesting. In addition to classic films like 'Do the Right Thing," Lee has also directed music videos that include Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," and Naughty by Nature's "Hip Hop Hooray," and Eminem gives him plenty of lyrical ammunition on "Headlights."
Em has spent almost a decade warring with his mother Debbie Mathers, over the course of several albums, but on "Headlights" he finally makes peace with her. "Ma, you're still beautiful to me because you're my mom," he spits on the track. "I love you, Debbie Mathers."
"Headlights" will follow Eminem and Rihanna's "Monster" video, which was released in December. Last week the Detroit native gave fans abehind-the-scenes look at the clip, where his manager Paul Rosenberg initially calls up to leave a voicemail explaining the concept of the video.
Stay tuned for "Headlights."

For almost as long as we've been selling bags, we've been working with Mafia to perfect a small pouch design that fits with the EDC line. Presented here are the results of our labor. Super wide mouths for easy access to the interior. One large, one small.
Sold separately or together for a small discount, they allow me to keep my travel necessities in proper order and I love the strip of hook and loop for labeling the contents.

Buke and Gase Announce North American Tour, Premiere New Single
By Gregory Adams
It's been over a year since instrument-inventing Brooklyn duo Buke and Gase charted a North American tour, but the experimental outfit will soon be back on the road, having just announced a fall trek.
Dates take place in the first couple of weeks of October. While the bulk of the nine-show stretch go down beneath the U.S./Canada border, the act will make it up to Montreal and Toronto. You'll see the show specifics down below.
Along with the tour news comes the unveiling of a new single. While Buke and Gase haven't delivered any info on when they'll drop a full-length follow-up to 2013's General Dome, the band are currently undertaking a project called Mission Mondays.
According to a press release, the pair recently undertook a series of eight-hour improv sessions and later reworked the songs to "a state of completion." The first track to arrive was "Seam Esteem," which you can stream beneath the concert dates.

Berlin is one of Europe's most popular cities. Whether you are after exciting nightlife, rich history, or thriving arts scene, Berlin has it all. Still, before you travel to Germany's capital during your next tour to Eastern Europe, it is good to pay attention to some pearls of wisdom shared by both locals and travellers in order to have the best experience you deserve.
Prague is one of the most romantic cities in Europe, and you shouldn't miss it while on a tour to Eastern Europe. You can go alone, with a partner, with family, or with friends; you can go there to enjoy the traditional food, long history, Prague's museums and art, its splendid nature, or memorial sites, and this city will leave you in awe every time. Let's look at some of the most interesting, beautiful, and historically significant structures and places that give Prague that romantic vibe.
With many of its countries joining the EU, and budget airlines being on the rise, visiting Eastern Europe is now easier than ever. In addition, a number of fantastic tours to Eastern Europe are available nowadays. A major highlight of one such tour is castles! Some stand proudly in the city centers, others rest in the countryside. Some became ruins, and others museums, or are still privately owned. Still, these castles are at the center of their countries' histories.
Russia is a place of a long and splendid history and culture, of renowned art, welcoming people, nightlife, magnificent animals, celebrated architecture, and of nature, and not at all what popular stereotypes make it to be. It wonderfully incorporates contemporary Western imports into its Slavic culture, while preserving Russian tradition and uniqueness. Being such a popular destination, it is included in many excellent Eastern Europe tours.
With its long history and culture, and stunning skyline, the Hungarian capital is an ideal travel destination. There is something for everybody. Besides the famous cultural and natural landmarks, there are numerous festivals to enjoy, not to mention countless restaurants and bars greatly appreciated by tourists. Already an affordable city, many of its sites are totally free! A breathtaking place, Budapest is nowadays included in many tours to Eastern Europe.

During an episode of The Big Narstie Show on Channel 4, Narstie – real name Tyrone Mark Lindo – asked the singer whether he could appear as a "hype man" if the girl group played at Worthy Farm.
"Yeah, I would like that. That would be cool," Melanie Brown (aka Scary Spice) responded.
Mo Gilligan then tried to get Brown to confirm Spice Girls' slot at Glasto '23. "So you are playing Glastonbury?" he said. The singer replied: "Yes, I think so! But I've got to convince the other four bitches to do it with me!"
Gilligan added: "The Spice Girls are playing Glastonbury?!" Brown said: "Stop it! Shut up! I never said that…"
Now, however, Mel C has put pay to the rumours saying that while she would love to play at Worthy Farm, it's not part of the group's plans at present.
Asked if festival co-organiser Emily Eavis has called on the band to perform, she told The Guardian: "It's the question I hate the most, because the answer is as disappointing to me as it is to Spice Girls fans.
"We would love to do Glasto. It just doesn't fit with the current plan with the girls. We do want to get back on stage – everything is up in the air."
The Spice Girls reformed without Victoria Beckham for a stadium tour three years ago and Mel C went on to say she thinks Beckham could return in the future.
Mel C explained: "Of course we had incredible stadium shows in 2019. And you know, there's definitely a bit of fomo for [Beckham], so I'm a big optimist. We were all at Geri's 50th a couple of months back and Victoria was the first one on the dance floor requesting Spice Girls songs."

Beckham explained at the time she "couldn't commit" to a full Spice Girls reunion tour, "with everything else that I've got going on with my fashion, and my beauty line, four children."
Glastonbury 2023 is set to take place between June 21 and June 25. Last month (December 2), it was confirmed that Elton John will headline the Sunday night (June 25) with what's being billed as his final-ever UK show.
No other acts have yet been confirmed. eFestivals' line-up page currently lists Arctic Monkeys and Harry Styles as two other possible performers and there are rumours Roxy Music could perform in this year's legends slot.
Speaking to NME recently about the possibility of appearing at Glastonbury, Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera said: "I've had friends texting and emailing, saying: 'I see you might be playing Glastonbury!' To which my reply is: 'Well, tell me about it, because I've got no idea.' I'll wait to see what happens there. Who knows? I don't."
The first wave of artists is traditionally announced around March.
Tickets for Glastonbury sold out in November. General sale tickets were snapped up in one hour, while coach packages went in under 25 minutes. According to organisers, "demand far exceeded supply".

Q: Alinear el texto/mensaje de un JOptionPane Tengo varios JOptionPane que muestran mensajes, ejemplo:

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(loginFrame, "          Login Successful");

Cuando escribo el mensaje como en el ejemplo, tengo que poner un espacio antes de Login Successful para que se vea alineado en la mitad del dialogo si no lo hago el mensaje se ve asi:

Y no me gusta esteticamente.
Hay alguna forma de alinear el texto/mensaje sin tener que hacerlo manualmente con espacios en blanco?
EDIT:
Probe esto:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(loginFrame, new JLabel("Login Successful", JLabel.CENTER));

Y no funciona, el resultado:

A: JOptionPane tiene un JLabel dentro, por lo que nosotros podemos crear uno nuevo, instanciandolo de nuevo, y dándole los atributos que queramos:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(loginFrame, new JLabel("Login Successful", JLabel.CENTER));

A: Te podría proponer una solución rápida amigo, pero implica eliminar el ícono que tiene por defecto un JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(parámetros) que es el que te sale aquí:
para esto tienes que eliminar el ícono insertando estos parámetros en el método:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(loginFrame, new JLabel("Login Successful", JLabel.CENTER), "Messaggio", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
Te quedaría algo así:

muchos años tarde, pero ahí está XD

White Rose of Love
by Anita Charles
Steve traveled to Portugal to be with her brother and found a culture entirely different from her own – for better and for worse. When she encountered the handsome Dom Manoel, she realized that he was looking for a feminine trophy, not a wild case like Steve. Could they reconcile each other's desires? The memorable love tale set in romantic Portugal dates back to the 20th century and was written by Anita Charles, a pseudonym of the prolific romance writer Ida Pollock.
A must-read for fans of literary romance and surprising twists of fate.
Anita Charles is a pseudonym of Ida Pollock (1908 – 2013), a highly successful British writer of over 125 romance novels translated into numerous languages and published across the world. Ida Pollock has sold millions of copies over her 90-year career.
Pollock began writing when she was 10 years old. Ida has travelled widely, living in several different countries. She continues to be popular amongst both her devoted fan base and new readers alike. Pollock has been referred to as the 'world's oldest novelist' who was still active at 105 and continued writing until her death.
On the occasion of her 105th birthday, Pollock was appointed honorary vice-president of the Romantic Novelists' Association, having been one of its founding members.
Ida Pollock wrote in a wide variety of pseudonyms: Joan M. Allen, Susan Barrie, Pamela Kent, Averil Ives, Anita Charles, Barbara Rowan, Jane Beaufort, Rose Burghley, Mary Whistler and Marguerite Bell.

Keizer only replaced Peter Bosz in the summer after he left to take over at Borussia Dortmund. Bosz was sacked himself earlier this month.
After the dismissal of Keizer, Ajax chief executive Edwin van der Sar told the club's official website: "We had a bad summer and a messy start to the season.
"From a sporting point of view, European elimination [from the Champions League preliminaries] was the low point.
Ten Hag joined Utrecht in 2015, having previously been in charge of Bayern Munich's reserve team.
He guided them to a fifth-placed finish in his first season in charge and to fourth spot last season. They lie sixth in the league this term.
Ten Hag's first game in charge of Ajax will be a heavyweight clash at home to champions Feyenoord on Jan. 21, after the winter break.
