: Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850-1894), a Scottish novelist, poet and essayist, was influential to the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, and J. M. Barrie. His most famous works include "Treasure Island" and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". Originally intending to study engineering at the University of Edinburgh, Stevenson expended more energy dodging lectures than attending them. He shifted his studies to law, passing the bar but never actually practicing the profession. Instead he began to seek success through writing, beginning with travel novels, exploring Europe and weaving stories from his own experiences. "The Black Arrow" is a tale comparable to his most famous works, the plot swiftly carried by thrilling suspense and narrow escapes. Set during the Middle Ages, Stevenson depicts the harsh conditions of life at that time, as well as the horrors of civil war, dealing in particular with the fifteenth-century War of the Roses. | [

Embracing the AI Revolution: Transforming Your Business
“Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, machine learning — whatever you’re doing if you don’t understand it — learn it. Because otherwise you’re going to be a dinosaur within 3 years.” – Mark Cuban
It’s an undeniable fact, folks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t some pipe dream or the next buzzword in the tech world. It’s here, it’s real, and it’s drastically shifting the way businesses operate today. Whether you’re a CEO of a long-established company or a bright-eyed start-up trailblazer carving your path, AI isn’t a mere fancy addition – it’s a crucial part of the modern business blueprint. AI’s profound ability to streamline operations, amplify productivity, elevate customer experiences, and generate insightful data is transforming businesses worldwide. It’s high time we uncover the enigma of AI and its pivotal role in your business journey.
But where to start? Identifying your unique business needs is the first step. Think about it – what areas in your organization could use a sprucing up in efficiency or perhaps a touch of automation? Once you’ve pinned these down, the potential for AI integration begins to crystallize. Now, let’s deep dive into the top ways AI can drive your business forward.
- Elevating the Customer Experience
AI’s impact on customer service is transformative. Take chatbots, for example. These handy AI-powered tools provide 24/7 customer assistance, tackling queries, resolving issues, and even aiding in sales processes. They’re your always-on, ever-ready customer service agents, dramatically reducing wait times and enabling your human staff to handle more intricate tasks.
And that’s not all. AI algorithms add a unique personal touch to customer interactions, creating customized recommendations based on users’ browsing habits, purchasing behaviors, and preferences. This is where AI shines, in adding that “know-you” factor to customer service.
Let’s take Amazon as an illustration. Their customized recommendations have proven to be a game-changer, significantly boosting customer satisfaction, and creating a surge in revenue. Customers no longer must sift through endless pages of products; instead, they’re presented with a curated list of items they’re likely to be interested in.
- Unlocking the Data Goldmine
Another realm where AI shines is data analysis. Predictive analytics, an AI capability that uses historical data to forecast future trends, can provide your business with a competitive edge. These insights can shape your strategic planning and decision-making, allowing you to stay ahead of the curve in ever-changing market trends.
Imagine you own a charming boutique clothing store. You decide to integrate AI into your system. This AI system diligently studies your sales history and notes that a specific style of dress sells the most during the summer season. Equipped with this insight, you can ensure you’re stocked up with similar styles in anticipation of the upcoming season. That’s AI helping you stay ahead of the game!
- Revolutionizing Marketing and Sales
AI’s potential extends into marketing and sales, bringing unprecedented precision to your efforts. AI algorithms can identify target audiences based on their behavior and demographics. This means you can tailor your marketing strategies to reach the right audience at the right time, thereby improving conversion rates and boosting your bottom line.
Beyond marketing, AI can also automate routine tasks in the sales domain. Tasks such as lead scoring, follow-ups, and even closing deals can be handled by AI. This not only increases efficiency and productivity but also enables your sales team to focus on nurturing relationships and dealing with complex sales scenarios.
- Optimizing Operations and Production
AI’s impact is not just confined to customer-facing roles or data analysis; it’s also making significant strides in the realms of operations and production. Consider predictive maintenance, an AI feature that is bringing about a seismic shift in the way businesses maintain their machinery and infrastructure.
Using AI, potential issues can be detected and addressed before they escalate into significant problems. This preemptive approach leads to a reduction in downtime and operational costs. For instance, consider an AI system integrated into a manufacturing plant. It continuously monitors equipment, detects any irregularities, and flags potential breakdowns. This gives you the opportunity to fix problems before they result in costly downtime.
On top of this, AI can also be instrumental in ensuring quality assurance. AI-powered systems can automate quality checks, resulting in a reduction of human error, and improving overall product quality. This means fewer defective products and increased customer satisfaction.
- Revitalizing Human Resources
Human Resources (HR) is another area where AI is making significant headway. It streamlines the recruitment process by automating candidate sourcing, screening, and even conducting initial interviews. This not only saves valuable time but also | [

The paper investigates the relationship between changes in asset wealth and the trend movements of household consumption in urban China. Using the vector error correction cointegration model, we demonstrate that there is a unique long-run cointegrating relationship between household consumption, disposable income, financial wealth and housing wealth in urban China. We find that housing wealth is the only factor that restores the long-run equilibrium relationship when the cointegrated system is disturbed by an external shock. In addition, our permanent-transitory variance decomposition analysis indicates that nearly all variance in the movement of consumption is permanent, supporting the classical random walk hypothesis of consumption behavior. However, a large proportion of variance in the short-run movements of housing wealth is found to be transitory.

What it is: A new skincare product from Beautycounter that is formulated with a “breakthrough Bio-Mimic Technology.”
The ingredient blend, according to the brand’s website, “harnesses the unique life-giving properties of plants to exactly match the structure of skin, giving it precisely what it needs and nothing it doesn’t.” It further promises to help keep skin hydrated, and help it adapt to the “ever-changing aggressors” of daily life.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Much like all the other Beautycounter offerings, this product is free of harmful ingredients, including the approximately 1,500 no-go additives that make up the company’s The Never List.
What we say:Our tester was pleased with how this product performed overall. For starters, the pump dispenser allows for the perfect amount of product to be released — while also avoiding any contamination of the remaining cream with fingertips or a scoop.
The lightweight lotion smooths easily onto skin, whether over bare, freshly cleansed skin or overtop of serum, and wears comfortably. We tried as both a daytime moisturizer mixed with a little bit of sunscreen, as well as for a night treatment with an oil layered overtop. Either way, the product left skin feeling smooth, soothed and hydrated.

A blend of two great cultures was visible at an event dedicated to the National Day of Oman and Indian Independence anniversary. The artistes from Oman and India shared the same platform to celebrate 47th National Day of Oman and 70th Independence anniversary year of India.
The event was held in the Indian Social Club premises in Salalah in presence of the august gathering of Omani dignitaries and members of the Indian community. The uniqueness of the event lied in the presence of different expatriate community representatives, who enjoyed the folk dances performed by Omani folk dancers and variety of performances done by Tanushree Shankar Dance Troupe from India.
The Omani folk dancers presented soulful Mijmat dancing while the troupe from India presented dances depicting human journey, fishermen’s dance, and the great the women play in any society.
Dancer and choreographer, Guru Tanushree Shankar, is the Artistic Director of Tanushree Shankar Dance Troupe in the Indian state of Kolkata. Based on the creative style, pioneered by India’s legendary dancer Uday Shankar, Tanushree has developed a unique style of choreography, which is both creative and contemporary.
The troupe mesmerised the audience with performances like Amity, which depicts human journey and vast experiences gained during the journey called life including the spirit of humanity; Fishermen’s Dance, depicting the joy and happiness that the fisher folk find in their daily work. Wrishya Vihar, a story of unity of deer when confronted with existential threat posed by hunters received good response from the audience, while Pahari folk dance depicted the joy and happiness of the people living on the hills
Mann Mayuri Dance was an expression of the love that the majestic peacock shares with the rains; Pratiksha or longing depicted the desire that exists at various levels in every human’s life; Maitree was a tribute to women and Surrender, a ballet dance, was based on Sufi poet Jelaluddin Rumi’s poem.
Rakesh Adlakha, First Secretary Indian Embassy in Oman, hailed the occasion as the celebration of two great cultures and nations which are strategic partners in progress. Manpreet Singh, Chairman, Indian Social Club Salalah, welcomed the guests and promised to bring many more programmes to cement the Omani-Indian bond. | [

Thousands of people turned out to mourn the death of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, whose body was returned to Iran after the top military commander was killed in a U.S. drone strike, Reuters reports.
According to the news agency, Soleimani’s body was sent to Ahvaz, Iran, on Sunday. There, thousands reportedly marched dressed in black to mourn his death.
Thousands also marched the day before in Baghdad, Iraq, where Soleimani was killed. There, marchers also chanted “death to America” and held signs reading, “We are all Muhandis and Soleimani,” CNN reports.
President Trump approved the strike that killed Soleimani on Thursday. Trump defended the operation on Friday, saying the U.S. “took action last night to stop a war.” U.S. officials have asserted there was evidence the late general was plotting attacks against Americans.
“Soleimani was traveling around the region working out a plan to attack Americans with his proxy allies, with Iran’s proxy allies, and Syria and Lebanon and in Iraq,” national security adviser Robert O’Brien said during an appearance on Fox News on Saturday.
“We had the intelligence … that he was in the process of planning these attacks and we acted to defend American lives,” he continued.
However, a number of Democrats have criticized Trump for not informing top lawmakers about the strike beforehand.
In the wake of Soleimani’s killing, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has vowed a “harsh retaliation is waiting.” In response, Trump said the U.S. is prepared to hit 52 Iranian sites “very fast and very hard” in the event of a retaliation. | [

Remove A Tree To Reduce Backyard Complications
If you are a homeowner, you may understand the importance of maintaining your property. Keeping the interior and exterior in excellent condition keeps your family happy and helps you avoid major problems. However, you might notice that you are having backyard complications. A possible solution is to remove a tree if it is causing more problems than you would like to handle.
Watering is important for maintaining your landscape, especially for non-native plants that might need extra watering. A tree can become problematic when it soaks up water that nearby grasses, flowers, and shrubs need to thrive.
Slowly watering plants can help you concentrate where the water goes instead of covering an entire area and letting all grass, plants, and trees absorb simultaneously. An easier solution is to remove the tree to provide better distribution to enjoy an overall healthier backyard.
When you have trees that produce excessive debris, you want them to be in areas where nothing of importance grows underneath them. So, you may experience issues because you have a messy tree producing a ton of debris that covers valuable grass, flowers, and plants.
While cleaning up the debris is possible, you may spend additional time and effort picking each piece up without causing damage to existing plants. Also, the debris can put excessive weight on plants and keep them from getting the sunlight they need to grow well.
Both deep and shallow roots can cause problems throughout your backyard. Shallow roots can get in the way of setting up furniture, decorations, and planter beds. You may also find that your children, pets, and guests are at risk of tripping over shallow roots in high-traffic areas.
Deep roots are an issue for an irrigation system and other features. You want to keep tree roots away from the fence, patio, and pathways because roots can cause serious damage.
A lush tree canopy is desirable when you want ample shade cast over a specific area. But you may notice that one of your trees provides shade in undesirable areas. Plants might struggle to grow because a tree canopy blocks most of the sunlight throughout the day. Another possibility is the canopy creating shade over the pool, making it feel extra chilly while swimming.
Dealing with backyard complications can discourage you from spending time outside. Investing in tree removal services will help you immediately solve some or all these problems. | [

The V-1 flying bomb (Fieseler Fi 103) was an early Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and a predecessor to the cruise missile. It was developed by the German Luftwaffe during World War II and manufactured by Fieseler.
The V-1's fuselage consisted mostly of welded sheet steel with wings built of lightweight plywood. The Argus As 109-014 pulse jet engine pulsed 50 times per second, creating a buzzing sound that lead to its nicknames the "buzz bomb" and "doodlebug."
Its guidance system used a simple gyrocompass-based autopilot that regulated its altitude and airspeed, with a weighted pendulum system to control pitch. It had an operating range of 250km and a top speed of 640 km/h.
V-1s were generally launched from the ground via inclined ramps.
Another variation, the F-1, had a higher operating range due to its much larger fuel compartment and plywood, rather than steel, nosecone.
An air-launched variation of the V-1 also existed, but had an extremely high failure rate (40%).

Why Do I need Homeowners Insurance?
If you’re a house owner and a homeowner, you will probably require homeowners insurance. If you intend to finance your house, your mortgage or bank lender will likely need the insurance. This is because the lender will need to ensure their investment in case of a fire, flood or hurricane or other disasters. It’s not necessary to have homeowners insurance if the homeowner paid the cash home or has completed your mortgage repayment. However, it’s recommended to be aware of being in financial trouble should you suffer damage to your home or belongings.
This is the case when you buy condominiums, co-ops or mobile homes. If you take out a loan to purchase the home, your lender will require a home insurance policy regardless of the house type. Condominiums and private community associations could require homeowners insurance to protect common facilities and property, including the common roof wall, common walls, tennis court or swimming pool.
Homeowner insurance is a good option even if your mortgage has been paid off in cash or you have inherited the property without a mortgage. Many homeowners don’t have enough money to undertake major repairs if their home is badly injured or damaged. A homeowner’s insurance policy is significantly less than the cost of rebuilding from scratch.
Most policies include insurance to replace your furniture, clothing and other items after a storm, fire or another catastrophe.
What is a Homeowners Insurance?
A home insurance policy offers the ability to fix or replace your home and contents in the event of damages caused by fire, water, smoke, vandalism, storm, or another incident mentioned by the insurance policy. They are referred to as “perils.”
Besides covering the structure and outbuildings, most policies provide for the repair or replacement of cooling and heating systems and their components, including water heaters and furnaces, when they’re damaged due to an incident covered by the policy.
The homeowner’s insurance also covers personal property that is damaged or stolen. Additionally, homeowners insurance pays for legal and medical costs if someone other than your family or you are injured while on your property.
How Much Does Homeowners ‘ Insurance Cost?
The cost of home insurance can differ dramatically based on several variables, including the house’s age, size or location and the possibility of a severe weather event occurring in your area. The average monthly premium for the insurance companies we reviewed is $100 to $170.
“Where you live as well as the natural disasters that affect your area play a significant role,” says Lynne McChristian, Communications consultant with the Insurance Information Institute. Particularly, living in an area susceptible to flooding could make home insurance quite costly. Insurance for homeowners is likely to be higher in areas with high crime rates, more expenses for rebuilding or tighter building regulations. A home in an area with an unmanned fire department miles away could be more expensive to insure than one with a nearby fire station with a professional staff.
Other factors influencing homeowners insurance premiums are the condition and age of the furnace, roof and other home elements. Security systems, as well as fire alarms, could lower the cost of insurance. The requirement for additional insurance to protect your most expensive possessions may increase the cost of a typical price. Additionally, your monthly insurance premiums will likely be affected by the amount of your deductible as well as the total amount that you have to pay out of pocket should you make claims. In general, the greater the deductible, the less your insurance premiums will be.
Even if you have homeowner’s insurance, it’s recommended to look over your insurance coverage and costs yearly—the requirements for coverage change when the market for real estate changes and you make more purchases. Also, home insurance is highly competitive, so comparing rates each year could help you save cash even if you’re satisfied with the current insurance.
More Information on the purchase of homeowner’s insurance
It is crucial to take a look at discounts along with rates offered by insurance firms. Numerous insurance companies offer discounts like these:
- Multipolicy discount Discount for multipolicy: This discount is for the bundle of your homeowners insurance with another policy such as your automobile insurance.
- New customer discount
- First-time home buyers discount
You may also receive an additional discount if you have an apartment equipped with the Security system such as a Sprinkler, Smoke detector and hurricane shutters.
Insurance websites usually have quotation tools that are available to request estimates. All you have to do is input some basic details regarding your home and the contents in it.
If you’d like to find out the financial quality of the insurance company you are selecting, you can look into credit rating agencies such as AM Best. The strength of their financials is crucial as you’ll need to choose one that will remain in operation and be able to cover claims in the event of a need.
There are reviews and professional ratings to look out for, such as | [

Totally. When you live in a city like Rome, the observation is that you’re lounging around the Trevi Fountain tossing coins in throughout the day. Be that as it may, the administration!
Only a basic thing like opening a financial balance, the kind of thing you could do in Australia from your telephone with a couple of snaps of a catch… In Rome you’d need to meet with the bank administrator. Furthermore, the bank administrator is never there. It’s an extremely since quite a while ago, tangled process.
Rome is additionally not experiencing a positive period right now. There’s a junk emergency, I’ve never observed the city in these conditions. It’s grimy. There’s been a gigantic relocation of seagulls into the city, and they say seagulls just move where there’s garbage. There’s no shoreline in the focal point of Rome. What’s more, the political atmosphere, here and there you think this is tragically an extremely terrible place. I truly do love the city, and it is an incredible place to live, however it’s not impeccable.
Are the adages about Italians genuine?
Indeed, one of the platitudes that you get notification from individuals is that Italians don’t work, and that drives me insane a bit. Since individuals here, particularly in the sustenance business, work extended periods, and the conditions can be faulty. Individuals buckle down, and for much not exactly in the Australian economy. The other adage is that Italians simply eat pizza and pasta throughout the day. That is really not what we eat! We eat a great deal of different dishes. Indeed, even Roman food isn’t simply pizza and pasta – there are a great deal of different perspectives to it.
What’s your most loved approach to go through multi day in the city?
Strolling. It’s a mobile city. I frequently say to individuals, discard your guide. I’ll regularly pick a piece of the city I don’t know well on an end of the week and have a stroll around, have informal breakfast or lunch, get a presentation – Rome, as far as culture, is in this way, so rich. There can be 20 distinct displays going ahead at any one time. At that point have a housetop mixed drink with companions, take in the city.
Does living in Rome ever feel typical? Or then again is it still a buzz?
Regardless I have snapshots of buzz. It’s the point at which I stroll by one of the huge landmarks. Now and again I think I’ve turned out to be one of those Romans who strolls past the Colosseum and doesn’t see it, yet then there are minutes when I may have had a poop week, and I turn a corner and see the Pantheon, and I think, Gracious my God, I can’t trust I in reality live in this city.
Sometimes I say that so anyone can hear. It’s insane. Rome truly is an outdoors historical center. It just envelopes you, and you can’t trust it’s genuine. | [

Projected Arctic Sea Ice Decline
This figure appears in chapter 2 of the Climate Change Impacts in the United States: The Third National Climate Assessment report.
Model simulations of Arctic sea ice extent for September (1900-2100) based on observed concentrations of heat-trapping gases and particles (through 2005) and four scenarios. Colored lines for RCP scenarios are model averages (CMIP5) and lighter shades of the line colors denote ranges among models for each scenario. Dotted gray line and gray shading denotes average and range of the historical simulations through 2005. The thick black line shows observed data for 1953-2012. These newer model (CMIP5) simulations project more rapid sea ice loss compared to the previous generation of models (CMIP3) under similar forcing scenarios, although the simulated September ice losses under all scenarios still lag the observed loss of the past decade. Extrapolation of the present observed trend suggests an essentially ice-free Arctic in summer before mid-century.095ba621-feea-4f7f-8b98-890e5bee679f The Arctic is considered essentially ice-free when the areal extent of ice is less than one million square kilometers.

The existing raw water piping configuration and Raw Water Junction Box at the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant limit the hydraulic capacity to less than treatment capacity of the Plant. In addition, existing piping makes it difficult to split incoming water flow between the four treatment trains. This project proposes to eliminate all hydraulic constrictions in the front-end piping, which allows raw water to be routed through the pre-sedimentation basin, and allows a passive flow split between the four treatment trains. The project will assure water demand for the City with future population projects and industries growth.
Construction is scheduled to start in February 2018 and will be complete in March 2020. | [

There have been whispers that California's Memorial Stadium renovation won't be complete in time for the Bears' season-opener against Nevada on Sept. 1.
That's probably true. But that doesn't mean the game will be rescheduled for elsewhere in the Bay Area.
Cal sent out a release Tuesday afternoon saying the renovation will have the stadium, "game ready" by opening day.
In other words, game-on. But pardon the the mess.
From the release:
On Nov. 27, 2010, California closed out its final season in the original configuration of Memorial Stadium. Now, less than 21 months later, the venerable facility is on track to be "game ready" for the 2012 campaign.
But what, exactly, does "game ready" mean?
"I think it means different things to different people," said Brian Main, senior project manager with campus Capital Projects. "My goal for the project is to have everything done so that when people come into the stadium, they won't recognize the little things here and there that are not complete. To the general public, it means that we're going to have the place ready to play a football game. The stadium will be completely functional not only for the game, but also for the fans."
Bob Milano Jr., Cal's assistant athletic director for capital planning and management, echoed those sentiments: "Game ready means that we're going to invite 63,000 of our closest friends to come to the stadium and watch Cal football play Nevada, enter safely, have a great time and go home safely."
When fans arrive at Memorial Stadium for the Sept. 1 opener against the Wolf Pack, some of the new elements, such as decorative signs and banners, may not be finished, but just about everything else appears to be right on schedule, according to both Main and Milano.
Construction impacted about 60 percent of the stadium, primarily on the west side where the structure was above the ground and needed to be improved to meet modern seismic standards, but all fans will certainly benefit from the enhancements being made to the building.

26 Miles is a dramedy about the rediscovery of the relationship between a Cuban-American teenager and her estranged Cuban mother. It is a journey of discovery and connection.
Olivia has been estranged from her Cuban-American mother for eight years, involuntarily torn apart by a nasty custody dispute. When she finds herself alone, scared and violently throwing up, she calls her mother who impetuously kidnaps the 15-year old and takes her on a road trip to Yellowstone. In the process, we get to know this beautiful and broken family and the ways each of them has been loved and wounded.

Recently I ordered some clear safety eyes, I wanted to play around with customizing them as I needed them instead of buying lots of eyes of different colours.
I ended up experimenting with nail polish, I have lots and lots of nail polish and I though some of them would make great eye colours for my amigurumi projects. First I used some I already had and then, when checking the results I bought some really cheap ones to experiment some more! =D
I just use the brush that comes with the nail polish to paint the back of the clear part of the eyes. Make sure you don't have to much polish on the brush or it will smudge the front of the eye.
When painting the eyes I place them on top of an old towel so I don't accidentally paint the table. I then leave them to dry upside-down on top of that same towel. After a couple of minutes the nail polish should be dry, but I usually leave them to dry overnight. If you wish you could paint them again once the nail polish dries, I just paint them once.
I've already experimented with a few of the nail polishes, check out the results! =D
White and yellow safety eyes.
Light blue safety eyes.
Blue safety eyes.
Green safety eyes.
Up close =)
Green, yellow and white safety eyes. The second green from the left has fine sparkles, the others are all mat.
Blue safety eyes. The first blue also has fine sparkles, the others are all mat.
Comparing with the bought ones:
On the left is the bought yellow eye, and on the right is the one I painted with yellow nail polish.
On the left is the bought iridescent green eye, and on the right is the one I painted with green nail polish with fine sparkles.
In the middle is the bought blue eye, and on the sides are the ones I painted with two different blue nail polishes.
I'm really pleased with the results! I can't wait to used them on future amigurumi projects! =D
I think I would only use the bought ones for projects for small children, just to be safe that the nail polish doesn't harm them in any way, but other than that I would use the painted ones, they are cheaper and you can customize them according to the project you are working on. =)
Lets bring out all our nail polishes and paint same gorgeous eyes! =D | [

5 funniest jokes by President Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner
1. “My mother was born in Kansas, my father was born in Kenya, and I was born, of course, in Hawaii,” he said — with a wink.
2. “Four years ago, I was locked in a brutal primary battle with Hillary Clinton. Four years later, she won’t stop drunk-texting me from Cartagena.”
3. On Harvard degrees and Mitt Romney: “I have one, he has two. What a snob.”
4. “As my stepfather always told me, ‘It’s a boy-eat-dog world out there.’”
5. “I have a lot more material prepared, but I have to get the Secret Service home in time for their new curfew.”
Jimmy Kimmel Addresses Marijuana Legalization At White House Correspondents’ Dinner 2012
While delivering his remarks at the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, comedian Jimmy Kimmel addressed the issue of marijuana legalization.
“What is with the marijuana crackdown? Seriously, what is the concern? We will deplete the nation’s Funyun supply?” Kimmel said. “Pot smokers vote too. Sometimes a week after the election, but they vote.”
Kimmel then posed a challenge to the crowd, which was made up of celebrities like Kim Kardashian and George Clooney.
“I would like everyone in this room to raise your hand if you’ve never smoked pot,” Kimmel said.
Few hands went up.
Noting the crowd’s reaction, Kimmel addressed Obama directly.
“Marijuana is something that real people care about,” Kimmel said.
Obama, who recently said he doesn’t “mind a debate” about drug legalization, has increased the crackdown on medical marijuana producers across the nation, including a recent high-profile raid on a California training school. He addressed the crackdown and attempted to clarify his 2008 comments that he was “not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws [on medical marijuana]” in a recent interview with Rolling Stone.
Obama’s face last night at the Correspondents dinner when a joke was made about Bin Laden. This is what Obama looked like experiencing the greatest feeling of victory in human history.

I always found horses interesting because how beautiful they look when the owners take care of them. They may be horses but there personalities are different. I decided to do something different this time with one of my paintings. I experimented the colors without using the color white. To my surprise I love the results.
Hey everyone my name is Guillermo Aguirre and I'm 24 years old. I live in California and of course art is my passion. I love art because it has so much meaning to any artwork people create. I have painting for quite awhile now and I fell in love with painting just animals. All through my art years I've been trying to find what is my strength, acrylic, oil, color pencil, spray paint and much more. I've realized that I work better with oil painting and the reason is because it gives me more time to put detail into the work. I love art and it's been part of me ever since. | [

Scottie Pippen recalls Chicago meeting to tutor Kawhi Leonard
Jan 09 2019
Former Spurs star Kawhi Leonard was back in San Antonio on Thursday night for the first time since he forced a trade to Toronto in July, and while he endured constant heckling throughout the game, the bigger confrontation may have taken place in the stands between his mother and an irate fan.
Popovich and Leonard hugged and had a long discussion after the Spurs' win over the Raptors on Thursday.
Many months before the fractures that led to Leonard's departure from San Antonio began to surface, Popovich approached Pippen and asked him to speak to Leonard after a Spurs-Bulls game in Pippen's hometown of Chicago. Leonard had to take a step back at the free throw line and compose himself amid chants of "Traitor!"
Leonard said he was not surprised by the fans' reaction.
Following the Raptors' 125-107 loss to San Antonio, Leonard said he knew he would be booed because of the way he has been portrayed in the media. We all make decisions in our lives with what we're going to do with our futures, and he has that same right as any of us. "So, I felt badly, honestly".
"I kind of admired his game and told him I'd been watching him and could see he's been getting better and better", Pippen said. The Spurs won their 10th straight against Toronto at home.
Leonard and Danny Green were then dealt from the Spurs to the Raptors for a package centered around DeMar DeRozan in mid-July.
Leonard would go on to score only 21 points in 33 minutes though he earned those points efficiently on 8-13 shooting from the field.
Kyle Lowry has appeared in 30 games this season for the Raptors.
Spurs: DeRozan is the first Spurs player to have at least 15 points 10 rebounds and five assists in a half since Tim Duncan in 2007. This was the first time DeRozan recorded a triple-double in his career, making it a successful game against his former squad. | [

Coming to the Fuchun Resort has been on my to-do list ever since I saw the handroll ink-and-wash painting, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, by Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty. The painting depicted the landscape of the Fuchun River, so it is not hard to imagine how serene and beautiful the actual landscape of the Fuchun Mountain would be after seeing this painting. Luckily, the Fuchun Resort did an amazing job capturing the magnificent and harmonious lifestyle the painting sought to convey.
自從看過元朝黃公望的代表作 “富春山居圖”後, 就一直想要來富春山居度假飯店一探究竟。這近700公分的畫卷，描繪了富春江邊的風景與自在悠然的生活，可想而知飯店的風範一定將畫中的景色發揮的淋淋盡致吧？

For around $400 USD a night for the standard room, the resort is definitely on the pricier side. However, once I saw how absolutely breathtaking the view is, and how much serenity this space brings, I definitely think the price is worth every penny.

Wave of new freight possible
Albany could see flow of cargo following Panama Canal work
Published 6:14 pm, Wednesday, April 24, 2013
The $5 billion rebuilding of the Panama Canal to accept larger ships could present an opportunity for shipping thousands of miles away at the Port of Albany, an official of the Port of New York and New Jersey said during a Wednesday meeting of transportation officials.
That is because larger freighters will be able to carry so much more cargo that potential delays unloading in New York could encourage shippers to take a 12-hour barge ride up the Hudson River to Albany to get cargo off faster, said Dennis Lombardi, deputy director of port commerce for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Work on rebuilding the 99-year-old, 48-mile canal is expected to finish in 2015, which should unleash a wave of new freighters that can carry about twice as many cargo containers as those that currently pass through the canal, said Lombardi, who spoke at Albany International Airport during a conference organized by the Capital District Transportation Committee on encouraging environmentally sensitive transportation networks in the Capital Region.
With its a new system of larger locks, the rebuilt canal will be able to handle what the shipping industry called "post-Panamax" ships. These vessels will be able to carry up to 12,000 tractor trailer-style shipping containers, up from the current limit of about 9,000 such containers. He said the Port of New York and New Jersey is raising the Bayonne Bridge by 65 feet to allow the larger ships to pass underneath. Other ports along the eastern seaboard, including Baltimore, Norfolk and Miami, are upgrading to be ready for the bigger ships. In the United Kingdom, the port of Liverpool is also being expanded.
"The opportunity here for inland ports like Albany is handling some of those extra containers," Lombardi said. "Albany could be a kind of safety valve."
However, Lombardi warned that Albany's port will have to make the 130-mile trip upriver from New York economically attractive to shippers, who otherwise would likely either put up with waiting longer in New York or find another port. "The only way this will work is if you commit to it for five or ten years. Otherwise, shipping patterns won't change," he said.
Port General Manager Rich Hendrick said the port is open to pursuing such business, but faces a twin challenge. One would be convincing shippers to spend the extra time coming upriver, and then, also convincing freight rail shippers to add the port as a regular scheduled stop so cargo could move quickly to markets west or north. "It is a bit of a chicken and egg problem," Hendrick said.

What to do, ditch and enjoy over the coming winter months…
As we take our first tentative steps towards winter it’s time to assess the situation, make final winter garden preparations and make peace with the tasks that you haven’t managed to complete on time.
If you haven’t already done that dreaded job that you’ve been putting off for the past two months (we all have one) then ask yourself whether or not it’s essential, give yourself an honest answer and then either get to it, delegate or forget about it as fitting.
- Prune climbing roses. Remove all old or weakened growth and trim side-shoots which have flowered. Train main stems as horizontally as possible, or bend them round obelisks or pillars to stimulate more copious flowering next year.
- Plant shrubs. Tease out congested or balled roots of containerised specimens before you plant. Sprinkle a handful of bonemeal into the bottom of each planting hole and mix it with the soil. Support newly planted shrubs with stakes and purpose-made ties.
- Plant a hedge. This is a good month to plant hedges such as beech, hornbeam, yew or privet. Dig a generous trench and partially back-fill it with enriched compost to give your hedge plants the best start. Include ‘Rootgrow’ – macrobiotics for plants – at planting for quick establishment. Fragrant Dwarf Lavender Munstead gives excellent ground cover and great low screening.
- Clean your greenhouse glass. During short days it’s important for maximum daylight to enter your greenhouse so glass should be as transparent as possible. Cleaning all surfaces and crannies will reduce disease and help to destroy overwintering pests.
- Remove any branches that have the potential to cause trouble, damage or danger over the winter – better to do this now before it gets too cold. Have this Yeoman Turbo Folding Saw on standby for those last minute maintenance jobs.
- Sow broad beans. The winter variety, Aquadulce ‘Claudia’, is hardy enough to sow outside and needs no protection. The crop will ripen in early summer, next year before blackfly infestations begin.
- Carrots, parsnips and swedes can be harvested as required for a few weeks yet. Gather them all by Christmas and store any surplus in a cool, dry, dark place.
- Dig out old rhubarb plants and, with a spade, slice out small divisions or ‘slips’ from the corky root mass. Replant ‘slips’ which have roots and dormant buds. Established rhubarb can remain in place for several years but gradually becomes less productive.
- Prune blackberries, Tayberries and Loganberries by removing all stems that have borne fruit. Carefully train and tie in stems that grew from the plant base, this summer but have yet to flower. They’ll carry next summer’s crop.
- Prune Gooseberries and red currants, removing any stems which cross, or are awkwardly placed. Cut newly grown side shoots back to roughly an inch from the stem.
- Invest in the most stylish shrub around – The Blueberry ‘Top Hat’ makes a fabulous addition to the garden. High in vitamin C, blueberries are great for eating fresh or for culinary purposes for quince or jam. A compact shrub, ideal for the patio and another great way to attract birds into your garden all year round.
- Hazel nuts, gathered last month, are perfect for eating now. Walnuts will also be sweet and fresh – try them with a glass of home-made sloe gin.
- Look for feathery seed heads on some clematis and bright orange seeds in the pods of Iris foetidissima.
- Paper-White Narcissus (N. papyraceus) will flower within four weeks of planting indoors, in pots or bowls.
- Leeks, planted out in late spring, can be harvested as needed.
- Birds at feeding stations. Nuthatches, blue tits and great tits are in beautiful colour after their autumn moult and fascinating to watch at feeding stations. | [

Explaining exactly how much a whale weighs is quite a difficult question to answer because there are currently between 80 and 90 different species of cetaceans and each species has a different size and weight.
Cetacean species are divided into two groups known as suborders of toothed whales and baleen whales. The blue whale is the largest known animal on the planet.
How do you weigh the largest animals on the planet?
Up until now, it has only possible to weigh whales once they were found dead on beaches, as explained in an article by Nobbot. Scientists have solved this problem thanks to a method called photogrammetry, a method that could also contribute to the conservation of these magical species.
With the help of aerial photographs taken by drones, an international team led by Danish marine biologist and Aarhus University professor Frederik Christiansen used images taken by drones to create a mathematical model that allowed them to calculate the dimensions and mass of a total of 86 wild southern right whales (Eubalaena australis). In fact, this technique is already used to assess calf survival and has many potential uses in species conservation.
Body mass is a key factor in the success of whales as a group, determining their energy use, food requirement and growth rate. However, most of what we knew about whale body size came from ancient literature about hunting whales or animals that end up stranded on the beach or caught in fishing gear.
"It's very difficult to measure a whale on a scale, I mean you have to kill it to do it, and that's exactly what we're avoiding here," said Fredrik Christiansen of the Aarhus Institute for Advanced Studies.
Researchers flew a drone over whales that swim in clear waters, capturing photographs as adults and calves surfaced to breathe, including backs and sides as the whales turned around. From all these photographs, they were able to obtain measurements of length, width and height for 86 individuals.
The experts, who detail their study in the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution, discovered that they could obtain a good representation of the shape of the whales' bodies. Then they converted the body shape, or volume, into the mass.
"The ability to predict the body mass of wild whales opens up the opportunity for us to look at animals over time and see how they change, how they grow," said Professor Christiansen.
Drone studies could help in conservation by monitoring the health of different populations of whales in the oceans.
The approach could also be used to estimate the size of other marine mammals by adjusting model parameters.
The research was conducted in collaboration with the Southern Right Whale Health Monitoring Program in Argentina and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the United States.

Digital transformation is reshaping the business landscape faster than at any time in history. It used to take decades to disrupt a market, but natively digital companies such as Uber and Airbnb have disrupted their industries in just half a decade. Digitization is creating new winners and losers at an unprecedented rate. Organizations that adopt a digital strategy will leapfrog the competition, while those that do not will risk becoming irrelevant within five years.
One important step in becoming a digital enterprise is becoming an agile organization—that is, having the ability to take advantage of market opportunities faster than the competition. This shift to being an agile business has now become a top initiative for IT and business leaders. However, business agility cannot be achieved without having an agile IT infrastructure to enable it. This is why businesses spent more than $12 billion on technology to make IT more agile in 2014, according to ZK Research.
Flexible work arrangements (FWAs) can come in many forms, including telecommuting, compressed workweeks and flexible scheduling that allows employees to perform tasks outside of core business hours. Improvements in technology have made FWAs possible for a broader segment of the labor force, but some of these arrangements have yet to achieve widespread acceptance in many organizations’ workplace cultures. However, SHRM research shows that participation in some FWAs has risen in recent years, and these measures have yielded positive results for companies’ recruitment and retention efforts, as well as their employees’ development and productivity.

Considered a biodiversity paradise, the Galapagos Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, are home to a large number of endemic species that could now face a new threat: plastics.
Located almost a thousand kilometers off the coast of Ecuador, in the Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos Islands are the second largest marine reserve on the planet and were declared a World Heritage Site in 1978 by UNESCO.
However, despite harboring unique species and having an exuberant biodiversity of fauna and flora, plastics are already found in all marine habitats on the easternmost island of the archipelago, San Cristóbal Island, where the British naturalist, Charles Darwin, first landed in the Galapagos in the early 19th century.
The sea, beaches and even the interiors of some marine animals are already contaminated by these compounds, according to a study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment and led by the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, the Galapagos Conservation Trust (GCT) and the Galapagos Scientific Center.
“The pristine image of the Galapagos could give the impression that the islands are somehow protected from plastic pollution, but our study clearly shows that this is not the case,” laments Ceri Lewis, lead author of the study and researcher at the Institute. of Exeter Global Systems.
After reviewing more than 138 scientific studies on ingestion and entanglement in plastics, the researchers were able to identify the marine vertebrates of the Galapagos most at risk of swallowing plastics or being trapped, such as hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, sea lions and marine turtles.
In addition, the team found more than 400 plastic particles per square meter on one of the beaches where the marine iguana, nicknamed ‘mini Godzilla’, lives. They were also found within more than half of the marine invertebrates (such as barnacles and urchins) studied, and at the bottom of the sea.
“Our study shows how far plastic pollution travels and how it pollutes all parts of marine ecosystems,” warns Jen Jones, from the GCT and first author, for whom the priority is that pollution stops at its source. “You cannot solve the problem just by cleaning the beaches,” she emphasizes.
Ocean currents carrying plastics
The results suggest that most of the plastic pollution in the Galapagos, a world-renowned biodiversity paradise, comes mainly through ocean currents. Only 2% of the elements and fragments larger than 5 mm came from the islands, but the true figure could be higher, according to the scientists. ”
The highest levels of plastic we found were on the east-facing beaches, exposed to pollution carried across the eastern Pacific in the Humboldt Current,” adds Lewis. The researchers collected a total of 4,610 items from 13 of the 14 beaches analyzed.
This affects marine iguanas, of which there are less than 500 specimens, and that inhabit these beaches. “It is worrying that they coexist with this high level of plastic contamination,” says the researcher.
Microplastics were also found not only in the seabed and water, but also, and in higher concentrations, in the port and in the interior of marine invertebrates: “These animals are a crucial part of the food webs that support the most important species. large ones that live in and around the Galapagos Islands, ”says Jones.
According to the research, the seven species of marine invertebrates examined contained microplastics, as well as 52% of the 123 individuals studied. “This situation is only going to get worse if we don’t drastically change our use of plastics,” concludes David Santillo, of the Greenpeace Research Laboratories at the University of Exeter.

Orange County’s reputation as a GOP stronghold dates to the days when it had the highest percentage of registered Republicans in the state and was among the best-known red counties in the nation. In 1990, Republicans boasted a 22-percentage point advantage over Democrats. But the GOP has lost market share ever since, and on Aug. 6, 2019, was surpassed by Democrats for the first time since a brief spell in the wake of Watergate.
Democrats have gained ground in nearly every Orange County city and now hold every county congressional seat. The trend is likely to continue until the GOP can find a way to better connect with Latinos and young voters.
While Democrats have held their share of the county electorate, Republicans’ share has shrunk and voters with no party preference have grown. While some Republicans have reregistered as independents, a bigger factor is older Republicans dying and being replaced on the rolls by new voters who register without a party affiliation.
Orange County Registrar of Voters data from Tuesday.
CITY BY CITY
In 1992, there were 19 cities in Orange County with more than 50% of voters registered as Republicans. In 2019, Villa Park is the only city to have 50% or more Republican voters.
There were only three Democratic cities in 1992. Now, there are 14.
*Incorporated in 2001, **Incorporated in 1999, +Incorporated in 2000
Note: All figures reflect registration for general elections except 2019’s, which are as of Aug. 6, 2019.
WHY THE GAP IS CLOSING
More Latino voters
Latinos are now three times as likely to register Democratic as Republican, and their share of the electorate is growing. They’re now 21% of the electorate, with their numbers increasing 34% since 2016, thanks in large measure to more becoming citizens and more reaching voting age. Anti-immigrant rhetoric from Republicans over the past three decades and from President Donald Trump in the past three years has been particularly polarizing.
Orange County Asians, who long favored the GOP by a broad margin, recently attained a Democratic plurality, with 30% as Democrats, 29% Republicans and 41% independents and other parties. They are now nearly 16% of the electorate. They are less likely than Latinos to vote along party lines – but typically turn out in higher proportions.
Young voters shift parties
The GOP is having increasing difficulty attracting young voters nationwide and that’s particularly true in Orange County. President Barack Obama lost among those over 30 in 2012, but his margin with those under 30 propelled him to reelection. A similar scenario played out in 2016, when Donald Trump won 37% of the millennial vote and Hillary Clinton won 55%, according to a Brookings Institution analysis.
While some believe young people often change from Democratic to Republican as they get older, an analysis by Paul Mitchell of Political Data Inc. shows that most people retain their initial party affiliation. In Orange County, where young Democrats have gone from trailing by 13 percentage points in 2002 to leading by 18 points today, that would mean Democratic dominance will continue to grow.

View of Delft is a famous oil painting handmade by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. Johannes Vermeer was good at painting the domestic interior scenes of middle class life. He was considered as a successful provincial genre painter. Girl with a Pearl Earring is one f his representative works. Among his few paintings, View of Delft is one of the best works. Delft is a well-known place in Vermeer's hometown. |
As we know, Johannes Vermeer worked very slowly and with great care, it took much time for him to finish a work. There were not so many art works he left to us, but most of them were painted in bright colors, such as blue and yellow. His masterful use of light in his work had been received great popularity. The painting of Delft by Vermeer was a good example.
Vermeer depicted Rotterdam gate on the right side of the painting View of Delft, which was composed of magnificent main building and the bridgehead twin towers. The cable bridge before the city gate attracted the eyes of the audience to the shipyard far away on the right side. Vermeer placed the Schiedam gate on the center of the screen, and Kethel gate was on its left side. Walking through the gate was the Schiedam dock. The fuzzy part of Vermeer's works was clearly presented in this painting: Kethel gate, Schiedam gate and the Twin Towers across the river.
Vermeer rarely expressed his personal life and emotion in his oil paintings so people know little about him. The information we knew was that his father was a small hotel owner and an art collector. Vermeer lived in a relatively rich family so that Vermeer did not paint for a living. Unlike majority of Dutch painters had to auction their works at the agora, public building and their studios, Vermeer earned money and necessities from an art patron who purchased his artworks regularly. Therefore, Vermeer only needed to painted two or three pieces of works and then did whatever he liked. As a result, themes of his paintings were wide-ranging without much earthly contrivance, far away from the public and the personal life. View of Delft was created in this circumstance and became his masterpiece.

From under the gun, Jeffrey Papola raised to 100,000. He's been constantly min-raising every time he opens a pot, so this is the norm for him. Jarred Solomon was in the next position and reraised to 285,000. Action the moved to the small blind where Joe Baldwin sat. He raised again, four-betting to 550,000. Papola folded and then action fell back on Solomon and he went into the tank.
"Wow, really? Really?!?!" he said as he slammed his chips and shook his head back and forth. Eventually, he mucked his hand and dropped to about 1.1 million in chips. Baldwin moved back over two million. | [

Accordingly, international partners committed to assessing their current office practices related to single-use plastic, and instituting operational changes to minimize their plastic waste footprint. All signatories also agreed to engage their staff in reducing plastic waste and to encourage their partners to adopt low- or no plastic waste-emitting options.
By taking this joint action, international partners in Vietnam seek to act as change agents in reducing plastic pollution and raising awareness about its negative effects on humans, animals and the environment.
The campaign, spearheaded by the Embassy of Canada in Vietnam, aims to raise awareness on the negative impacts of plastic pollution, while advocating for changes at the behavioural, institutional, and policy levels, expecting to reduce the amount of plastic waste generated in Vietnam.
The signing ceremony was a highlight of the Plastic Pollution Advocacy Campaign, which is a joint campaign involving embassies and international partners working in support of Vietnam’s sustainable development.
After the signing ceremony, a roundtable on plastic pollution was held, in which policy makers, business leaders, academia and environmental activists discussed challenges in reducing plastic waste and recommended approaches to effectively address plastic pollution.
For the past months, 22 embassies and international partners have been actively engaged in this multi-pronged campaign. Another key element of this campaign has been constructive dialogue with Vietnamese leaders to discuss policy options that will have long-term positive effects on plastic pollution in Vietnam.Ha Phuong

POQUOSON — Poquoson City Council on Monday unanimously approved a new mixed-use district along Victory Boulevard with the hope of making the land more attractive to developers.
As part of the approval, council voted on a new zoning ordinance that creates a mixed-use overlay district that encompasses more than 200 acres along both sides of Victory Boulevard known as the Big Woods. Council also approved accompanying changes to an existing mixed-use ordinance and the city's land use map in the Comprehensive Plan.
The new district will allow developers to craft a planned unit development with a master plan that includes both commercial and residential development.
Deborah Vest, coordinator of community development for Poquoson, told council during a work session that the land is divided into 69 parcels and has no utilities or street infrastructure. The land is also encumbered with a lot of tidal and nontidal wetlands, which Vest said have been "plaguing" the landowners' ability to sell their property for development.
During a public hearing on the changes, Vest said the goal of the new district is to "afford landowners the opportunity to create an assemblage" of land to market for sale to a developer.
Some council members expressed concern over a requirement for any large retail business occupying more than 15,000 square feet in a mixed-use project to receive a separate conditional use permit. Mayor Gene Hunt and Councilman Charles "Bud" Southall III worried that requirement could complicate negotiations between a developer and prospective retailer.
Hunt described as "brilliant" a sliding scale for use of nontidal wetlands credits to calculate residential density. Under the proposal, up to 100 percent of wetlands could be used in determining the number of residential units that could be constructed. The ordinance allows for a maximum of 12 units per acre with a sliding scale based on the amount of wetlands used.
Lamont Myers, director of development for Mid-Atlantic Commercial which is currently pursuing a mixed-use development in York County, was the only person to speak during public hearings on the new mixed-use district. Myers said city staff had done a great job creating a balanced ordinance which he supported.
A developer interested in using the Big Woods mixed-use district would have to file a rezoning application for approval by City Council.

December 31, 2009 - Dawn Continues Thrusting and Completes Engineering Tests
Dawn thrust with its ion propulsion system for most of December and remains On course for Vesta. the spacecraft conducted a set of special activities during the week of November 30. The gamma-ray and neutron detector (GRaND), visible and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIR), and science camera all were operated and verified to be healthy. “A measurement of the relative alignment of VIR and the science camera did not yield the desired data because of a conflict between commands within VIR, but the instrument remained healthy. The VIR commands are easily corrected, and the calibration will be executed early in 2010. Upgraded software was installed in the primary and backup cameras. Other spacecraft engineering activities were completed successfully as well.
November 30, 2009 - Dawn Completes Another Month of Interplanetary Thrusting
Dawn thrust with its ion propulsion system for most of November, pausing for less than half a day each week to point its main antenna to Earth.
The mission control team completed preparations for some special activities the spacecraft will execute in December (so check back next month to learn more!).
October 31, 2009 - Nearly in the Main Asteroid Belt, Dawn Continues Thrusting to Vesta
Dawn devoted most of the month continuing to thrust with its ion propulsion system. The spacecraft is healthy and making steady progress reshaping its orbit to rendezvous with Vesta. As it continues to climb away from the Sun, Dawn will reenter the main asteroid belt on November 13.
September 30, 2009 - Dawn Completes Second Year of Flight
Dawn passed its second anniversary of being in space on September 27. It spent most of the month continuing to thrust with its ion propulsion system. It has expended about 104 kilograms (230 pounds) of xenon in its 392 days of thrusting since launch. The effective change in speed so far is more than 2.6 kilometers per second (5800 miles per hour), far more than most spacecraft ever achieve with their propulsion systems.
August 31, 2009 - Dawn Maintains Steady Thrust to Vesta
Dawn devoted most of August to ion thrusting, as it will for most of the next two years leading to the rendezvous with Vesta. Controllers conducted routine maintenance on an ion thruster gimbal, reaction wheels, and gyroscopes this month.
August 3, 2009 - Dawn Spacecraft is Thrusting Nominally with the Ion Propulsion System (IPS)
The first Vesta scenario test executed successfully in the testbed last week, and the flight team reviewed the results. This test of a flight-like Vesta orbit sequence is an important step forward towards validation of the design and operations processes that will be used at Vesta.
July 30, 2009 - Dawn Continues Thrusting to Vesta
Dawn spent the month thrusting with its ion propulsion system. No special activities were conducted, allowing the spacecraft to devote as much time as possible to thrusting and permitting the operations team to engage in long-range planning for Vesta.
June 30, 2009 - Dawn Resumes Extended Thrusting
Dawn resumed its routine of long-duration thrusting with its ion propulsion system on June 8. The spacecraft is now following the same pattern it used for most of 2008, with only a single weekly interruption in thrusting to point the main antenna to Earth. Dawn had spent most of the time since October 31, 2008 coasting. In contrast, most of the time from now until arrival at Vesta will be devoted to thrusting.
May 25, 2009 - More Coasting Activities Completed
To verify that the software loaded in April could accomplish ion thrusting, the spacecraft executed two short thrust tests. Upon establishing that the software was performing well, engineers installed two copies in the backup computer and another copy in the backup location of the primary computer. Also this month, the xenon in part of the system to feed the propellant from the main tank to the thrusters was vented to space to allow mission controllers to calibrate pressure sensors.
April 30, 2009 - New Software Loaded to Main Spacecraft Computer
Mission controllers upgraded the software in the spacecraft's main computer this month. This was the first complete software replacement since November 2007. Running the new software required rebooting the computer, which puts Dawn into safe mode. The process of preparing the spacecraft, transmitting the software, rebooting, and recovering from safe mode all went extremely smoothly. Although the software was tested extensively before being radioed to the spacecraft, a short test of ion thrusting proved that no bugs were introduced that might interfere with this crucial capability.
On April 16, Dawn was at its closest distance to the Sun since last year. Now its elliptical orbit will carry it deeper into the solar system.

CZ-75 Automatic is a rare automatic pistol version of the legendary CZ 75 that was initially developed for special military and police units. This version first appeared in 1992 and aimed mainly at the export market. Currently, only a few automatic pistols are being produced in the world.
The CZ 75 Automatic is built on a version of the CZ 75B. The main difference between those two versions is in the trigger and modifications, allowing full-auto capability. The pistol has two firing modes, semi-auto and full-auto. This pistol was designed to fits the gap between a semi-automatic pistol and a submachine gun. The original CZ 75 has been around for almost 50 years, and so far, it has proved a reliable and trusted service weapon in many military and law enforcement forces worldwide.
One distinguishing characteristic of earlier models is its longer compensated barrel, although later models may have a standard barrel. An extra magazine can be attached to the front as a makeshift foregrip. Overall, it looks similar to the legendary selective-fire machine pistol Beretta 93R.
The Automatic version of the CZ 75 is a short-recoil operated weapon with a relatively compact size, slightly lighter than the regular CZ 75. The working principle of this weapon is based on the modified Browning’s short-recoil locking system. Although it is chambered for the same ammunition (9×19 mm Parabellum) as the CZ 75, this version has improved firepower. Its cyclic rate of fire is 1000 rounds per minute.
The whole pistol has a metal construction. The barrel length is the same as the standard version, but there are also pistols with a longer ported barrel extending beyond the end of the slide. It reduces muzzle climb during an automatic fire with the help of escaping gas.
The CZ 75 Automatic has two safety procedures; one is an internal firing pin safety while the other is a safety switch on the left side of the frame which also acts as a fire mode selector. The pistol is fed from a double-stack magazine, the same one used on the standard version of the CZ 75. It holds 15 rounds, but there are also available extended-capacity magazines that can hold up to 20 rounds.
The interesting thing is that a spare magazine can be attached to the front barrel to be used as a front grip. This feature allows better control over pistols during automatic fire, thus improving accuracy at longer ranges. This weapon has an ambidextrous magazine release button, making it easy for both left and right-handed users. Users can reposition a magazine release button from one side of the grip to another.
The sights on this CZ 75 are the same as the standard version. Simple iron sights are intended to provide you with a sighting line up to 50 meters, which is an effective range of fire. The pistol is easy to control, even in full-auto mode. The user can easily keep a burst of shots on the target at a range of up to 20 meters.

America’s High School Graduates: Results of the 2009 NAEP High School Transcript Study
This report presents information about the types of courses 2009 high school graduates took during high school, how many credits they earned, and the grades they received. Information on the relationships between high school records and performance in mathematics and science on the twelfth-grade National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is also included. Transcripts were collected from a nationally representative sample of 37,700 high school graduates. The 2009 results are compared to the results of earlier transcript studies, and differences among graduates by race/ethnicity, gender, and other demographic characteristics are examined. In addition, the report takes a closer look at science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) coursetaking, ways in which graduates may earn more credits, and the coursetaking patterns of students with disabilities and English language learners. | [

Today we climbed over the highest point on our trek, Rinchen Zoe La. This pass is recorded as anywhere between 5360m and 5600m, so I will settle on 5450m and hope that is somewhere near the right answer. Below the pass was a milky white lake full of sediment from melting ice. We spent a while at the pass getting photos and generally enjoying the ‘peak’ of our trek and looking at Gankar Pussum, at 7561m the highest moutnain in Bhutan. Then it was down, a long walk past some lakes with some occasionally boggy areas to walk across. We descended a steep-sided valley and found a campsite on the flat valley floor at about 4400 metres. The additional oxygen down here was immediately noticeable after the best part of three days over 5000 metres. The dinner that night was very enjoyable as we celebrated the biggest pass of the trip. We had just one pass left to conquer and that was a comparatively modest 4655 metres.

Our yak herders had already left early, racing to get the best campsite for the next night as there were limited choices. They left at a run! It has snowed in the night and we had a cold start, but it did wake us up. We carried on at a more sedate pace, descending below the tree line and down towards the valley floor. As we reached the bottom by the river, the valley became extremely narrow and steep – a real v-shape. It was like walking between two walls. We found a pleasant, if somewhat muddy, clearing where we had lunch. It was used as a campsite by yak herders and had copious amounts of yak dung lying on the grass.
(It was cold in the toilet tents this morning!)
After lunch, which was a good opportunity to rest weary legs, we carried on and found ourselves climbing up the side of the v-shaped valley. This was a tough climb that took us about 3 hours. It was a winding path up through the forest that gave us magnificent glimpses of the valley falling away below us. As we neared the top of the climb, the slope eased and we were treated to a sheer rock face rising at least 100 metres above us. Then it was up alongside the waterfall, a very steep and demanding section, and then over to the lake where our campsite was situated. A short half hour walk around the lake and we were there. Our yak herders had won the race and we had the best site. There was a light dusting of snow on the ground and snow-capped peaks above. In the evening light, the lake was a magnificent blue against the mountains and sky, and was framed by the rising evening mist from the valley below. It was a cold night, but tomorrow was the last pass.

Eleven days after winning the World Cup, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced the departure of head coach Jorge Vilda. However, Vilda's exit was less about his own actions and more about his alignment with Luis Rubiales, the now-suspended RFEF president. Rubiales forcibly kissed star player Jenni Hermoso on live television, causing international outrage. Yet, he still technically holds his position as RFEF president, which is unacceptable.
Sign the petition to demand that FIFA fire Luis Rubiales immediately!
A group of 15 players, known as "Las 15," vowed not to play if Vilda and, by extension, Rubiales remained in power. These players had previously criticized Vilda for fostering a damaging environment that affected their physical and mental well-being. Their concerns also extend to the culture Rubiales has created within the federation--a culture that can't be fully addressed as long as he remains in any position of power.
The RFEF's committee of regional presidents don't have the authority to remove Rubiales. That authority falls upon FIFA, and they must wield it responsibly. While the RFEF has yet to appoint a new head coach for the women's team, firing Rubiales is the crucial next step for creating a respectful, equitable environment for women in Spanish football.
It's time for FIFA to take definitive action. Sign now to demand Rubiales' immediate removal and a thorough investigation into the toxic culture within the RFEF. Enough is enough! | [

The United States on Monday abandoned its effort to convince Russia to impose a ceasefire on the Syrian regime as government forces pursued their relentless onslaught on eastern Aleppo.Accusing Moscow of abetting Syrian strongman Bashar Assad's assault on civilian districts of the city, Washington said it had suspended bilateral talks with Russia on reviving a truce.The Russian and US militaries will keep a communications channel set up to ensure their forces do not get in each other's way during "counterterrorism operations in Syria," Kirby said.Washington accused Moscow of failing to rein in Assad's government forces and of carrying out air strikes on civilian targets, including a UN aid convoy.Moscow, meanwhile, says the United States failed to separate "moderate" anti-Assad rebels from extremists linked to Al-Qaeda.Moscow on Monday denied it was bombing hospitals, insisting its air campaign was "highly effective" and had stopped extremists taking over Syria.The toll was the highest loss of life for forces involved in the Turkish-led operation in northern Syria since it began in late August, it said.

If you’ve ever read my blog, you’ll know I’m a weakling for black and white movies and I can’t mention Vampyr (1932) without ranting on about the version with the the soundtrack lovingly created by virtuosis of Year of No Light (https://yearofnolight.bandcamp.com) which adds a whole new level of atmosphere and really enhances the movie to no end…
Now because I have no life and live for movies, I am going to get really geeky and suggest 5 movies that could possibly benefit from a darker and more powerful sound track. To be honest I don’t know why bands and fans don’t really score more films, obviously silent ones are easier and there are plenty more of those to do… hint hint!!
Atmospheric music generally perceived as….
“Atmospheric black metal is a sub-genre of black metal which relies on heavy incorporation of atmospheric, sometimes even dreamy textures, therefore moving away from its parent into a less aggressive direction. Atmospheric black metal often features synthesizers or classical instrumentation, typically for melody or ethereal “shimmering” over the wall of sound provided by the guitars. The music is usually slow to mid paced with rare blast beat usage, without any abrupt changes and generally features slowly developing, sometimes repetitive melodies and riffs, thus providing another notable distinction from its parent and other black metal sub-genres. Subject matter usually concerns nature, folklore, mythology, and personal introspection.”
sourced from the wiki..
A slightly underpowered creature feature on the dark side, starring the behemoth comedy Canadian Kevin Durand as a troubled law enforcement officer in a small town situated on the edge of a forest. After some new construction starts that is destroying the forest area a new creature is disturbed and it’s not happy about the lack of and makes it’s disturbing presence known while searching for some new grub. Visually it’s a great film to watch, lots of forest scenes and quite a few nighttime shots, combining the two really gives an interesting Depressive Forest feel, especially as the lead character is going through his own personal depressive state due to a bereavement in his own family. The film circulates around the forest and the creatures themselves has a tree like look, the film is generally quite grey and I think if attuned to deep riffs of at atmospheric band, the two would play off each other well.
Suggested Band: The Wanderer
I never had many hopes for this film but after watching it a few times it does have a few redeeming qualities, Pyramid Head was re created quite well and he gave the film it’s epic skin slinging shot, some of the early scenes really did look like the game’s cut scenes but for the life of me I can’t work out how it happened without Cameron Diaz as Cybil. Anyway while the town is correctly covered in fog and mystery I think it could be enhanced by some of the darkest and sympathetic metal. But Silent Hill will always remain a town shrouded in filled with strange characters,nightmares, depression and a host of monsters, which would make a perfect setting for any atmospheric black metal soundtrack as this is what the music breathes for.
Suggested Band : Songs From A Tomb (https://songsfromatomb.bandcamp.com)
This film, dark almost silent and incredibly psychological and atmospheric in itself, and would only absorb any Atmospheric OST and the results would be devastating. The film details a lone man who is investigating animals in a remote region of Italy, while noticing something strange on one of the recordings he visits a town that isn’t on the map, the rain starts, the river rises and he’s stranded and then starts getting stalked by the ghosts of the town. The entire film is highly dark and oozes depression, but it’s so curious and captivating and really was a highlight of the Abetoir Festival.
Suggested Bands : Alrakis (http://selfmutilationservices.com/album/alpha-eri)
A film where has a very unique atmosphere and feeling but has encouraged me to get back to the solicitor and try to complete it the witch details the exile of a pious family from a Puritan settlement who are forced to try and scratch a living from the edge of a forest when they are soon prayed upon by a dark evil. There is a host of very dark sinister occult things etched from mediaeval books and paintings, and incorporated into this mysterious horror, which would make it a perfect candidate for it and atmospheric black metal soundtrack.The pagan and heathen symbolism it’s quite prevalent throughout and with a director who was crazed about authenticity there was a hostess primal olde European culture that sleeps through. A blistering soundtrack twinned with the dusky lit forest would | [

Geographical Opportunities and Challenges Across Forsyth County
The Forsyth County Neighborhood Opportunity Atlas is your source for census-driven data about our community.
Building upon opportunities in our community starts with information.
What is the
Forsyth County Neighborhood Opportunity Atlas
In the Summer of 2021 and in response to a call for proposals from Forsyth County, the Spatial Justice Studio @ the Center for Design Innovation was contracted to develop a Neighborhood Opportunity Atlas (NOA). The focus of the proposal was to provide a more holistic analysis of conditions across the county that can be used to identify, compare and assess neighborhoods in Forsyth County now and into the future for planning, programming, budgeting and evaluation. The atlas was presented as an innovative, statistical, and geographic product that could provide quantitative census tract level information for a wide range of community indicators and begin a process to identify, target and tackle underperforming neighborhoods.
The goals of the NOA included:
- developing a holistic analysis of neighborhood conditions across a wide range of variables;
- expanding upon the Distressed Communities Report – 2016;
- creating a ‘benchmark’ document for evaluating projects, programs and budgets; and
- growing conversations focused on making decisions that promote access, equity, inclusivity, justice and sustainability within Forsyth County.
The NOA uses a combination of the knowledge of urban studies and the power of data science to begin to explore opportunities and challenges at the census tract level. By combining these two areas, Forsyth County can get an accurate baseline for existing conditions within communities throughout the County and target programs, policies and budgets to help all neighborhoods achieve a level of spatial justice. In the end, the NOA will provide information, but that alone will not make a difference, political will and community engagement will also need to be parts of the solution to making all of Forsyth County sustainable. | [

Wildfires scorching hundreds of thousands of hectares between BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan have sent massive plumes of smoke into the air, and they can even be seen from space. NASA shared a photo taken by a satellite Tuesday that showed smoke from fires sweeping over southern Canada. “Smoke from the fires has caused poor air quality and reduced visibility in several cities,” a statement from NASA reads. “Air quality conditions on May 16 in some Alberta cities were ranked as ‘very high risk’—the highest ranking in Canada’s Air Quality Health Index.” Lahore, Pakistan, had the worst air quality last year. Its score today is 153, 135 points healthier than Calgary. Calgary is expected to be in the high-risk zone for the rest of Wednesday, while Thursday is anticipated to see a moderate risk. | [

Plague of dead sea animals killed by mystery illness wash up on a beach in Mexico, with scientists baffled and tourists warned to steer clear
- 21 dolphins, 11 turtles and two sea lions found dead on Mexican coast
- Environment experts are unsure as to what killed the animals
- Fisherman's nets and cruise liners ruled out due to inconsistent injuries
Experts have been left baffled after dozens of dead animals washed up on beaches popular with tourists in Mexico.
And visitors are being warned to steer clear from the sands, which stretch almost 26 miles along the west coast of Mexico, until the cause of the deaths can be determined.
Twenty-one dolphins, 11 turtles and two sea lions were found either washed up on shore or floating in shallow waters near to Sinaloa.
This dolphin was just one of 21 that washed up dead on beaches on the west coast of Mexico
There were also 11 turtles that were discovered, with experts still unsure as to how they died
Worried environmentalists have called for an in-depth investigation to try and establish what caused the tragedy.
None of the sea creatures appeared marked or cut in any way so it was possible to rule out that they had been caught in fisherman's nets or run over by a cruise liner.
Mexico's Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) are now investigating whether pollution is to blame for the deaths. They have also activated a security protocol and tourists have been warned not to use the beaches while the water is being tested.
A spokesman for FEPA said: 'We will be looking at what species are affected, their condition, size, age, physical appearance, nutritional state, health, visible traumas, the time and date, climacteric conditions, state of the sea, topography of the beach and accessibility of the area.
Environmentalists have called for an in-depth investigation to try and establish what caused the tragedy
This shows the location where the animals have washed up on the beaches in western Mexico
'We will also be carrying out an autopsy and collecting samples of tissue and organs to conduct laboratory studies.'
However, he added that at the moment marine biologists were baffled about the cause of the mysterious deaths.
It is expected to take a number of weeks for the results to be released.
Following the discovery of the dead animals, that also included a sea lion, bathers have been warned against using the affected beaches

Rating: NNNNNOver the last few years in my journalistic work, I have been following a growing body of research that.
Over the last few years in my journalistic work, I have been following a growing body of research that suggests that many chronic conditions — from multiple sclerosis to heart disease — may well be caused by unsuspected infectious agents.This realization opens potential new avenues for prevention and treatment, assuming, of course, that medical caregivers will consider all the possibilities.
Alas, disease dogma is remarkably tenacious, as evidenced by a steady stream of calls and mail I get from people struggling with various physical complaints.
Typically, they have already exhausted all the obvious suspects, often after visiting specialists who are at a loss to figure out what’s wrong.
These sufferers have read or heard of my investigations into possible microbial culprits and contact me to see whether I can help identify what’s making them sick.
But playing doctor long-distance with strangers is a dubious enterprise, especially for someone without formal training. MDs base their diagnoses on clinical signs and symptoms, patient history and the results of lab tests.
These critical details are hard to summarize in a phone call or e-mail, and I’m loath to offer advice based on scanty info.
Sometimes I will help arrange for blood specimens to be shipped and tested at a different lab, but most of the time I can only direct people to further information and contacts.
It’s a difficult spot for a journalist. On the one hand, a commitment to patient advocacy and sheer curiosity compel me to try to help in some way.
On the other, I don’t want to make things worse by leading people on a wild goose chase in search of the ever-elusive primary pathogens making them ill.
More and more debilitating chronic diseases are turning out to have microbial origins, so it’s no wonder patients are second-guessing their diagnoses.
But how many thousands of people endured invasive surgery before it was discovered that a simple three-week course of antibiotics could take care of their stomach ulcers (most of which, it’s now recognized, are caused by bacteria called Helicobacter pylori)?
It’ll be fascinating watching the medical textbooks get rewritten over the next decade. | [

May, 2022, Friends Couple Enrichment welcomed Rick and Carol Holmgren, new FCE leaders from Meadville, PA. They are the first couple to complete the new, self-paced, online training.
In their training and sharing in FCE events, Carol and Rick have dived deeply into the spirit of Couple Enrichment dialogue, exhibiting open-heartedness and truth-speaking with one another. They bring valuable skills and experience to the ministry of Friends Couple Enrichment. As a Couple-in-Training, they assisted in facilitating a one-day online workshop at the 2021 FGC Summer Gathering, and a multi-session online workshop co-sponsored by FCE and Pendle Hill. They have a great capacity for love, fun, and intimacy, which by example invites others into disclosure and deeper intimacy. Their reliance on the Holy Spirit has gifted each of them with a natural grace and empathy. Through their gentle awareness, they convey a sense of calm, respect, and deep caring for the particular gift of each relationship. They look forward to facilitating in-person workshops once the pandemic allows this.
Carol and Rick have been married for 34 years and have twin children, who are now 26. They are active in their local Unitarian Universalist church, where Rick serves on the board and leads Sunday services several times each year. During their lives together, they have benefited from a variety of experiences designed to foster their growth as individuals and as a couple, and they were delighted to discover the depth possible through Friends Couple Enrichment. The skills they learned in FCE workshops and in the FCE leader training have helped them strengthen their relationships with each other, with their children, and with their community.
Carol is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator at Tamarack Wildlife Center where she strengthens people’s connection to and care for the natural world, while helping the creatures native to northwest Pennsylvania. Rick is retired from faculty and administrative positions at Allegheny College, enjoys having more time to tend their home, and continues to consult occasionally in higher education.
They are delighted to embark on their ministry sharing the gifts of FCE as FCE leaders, and they hope to develop a vibrant FCE community in their region. They welcome support for that effort from the FCE community, particularly members in Western PA, Northeastern Ohio, and Western NY. | [

How to Handle an Anxiety Attack
ibelieve.com/health-beauty/… via @iBelievecom
Writing an article on when you can't not be anxious. And feeling anxiety. 🙄🙃 Y'all, it's a process. Layers of past events, unhealthy beliefs, & destructive structures built up over time don't dissipate in a moment.
Feeling anxiety is not a sign of failure or weakness. #loved
Counseling can be an effective way to address areas in your life that keep you from experiencing more of God, richer relationships, and the ability to enjoy in a vibrant life. #ChristianCounselingbit.ly/2oTwRwq
An apology that only acknowledges that another person was offended by your behavior and not how the person was actually harmed by your offense is not an apology.
A true apology will recognize the harm, take responsibility for the offense, accept the consequence, and make amends.
Looking for something folksy, fun, and full of coffee? Head over to Spotify or YT and look up the Espresso Song by the Divers.
Then there's the TV Dinner Blues, the sweet Snowfoot Waltz, and the simple life of Willie. Y'all, I got some college memories going on here. pic.twitter.com/gsKSN1ruBq

Assembly 4.0 with laser projection
At Motek, October 7-10, hall 3/booth 3412, LAP is presenting the ASSEMBLY PRO assistance system for digital assembly in Industry 4.0. This laser-based system enables substantial time savings, and minimizes errors in manual assembly processes
LAP demonstrates live scenarios for digitalization in worker guidance at Motek
At the LAP booth, visitors can experience three different real-world scenarios: laser-assisted control cabinet assembly, a pick-by-laser application combined with a ultrasound user guidance system, and a workstation with a laser projector for manual assembly in automotive manufacturing.
More efficient control cabinet assembly
At Motek, LAP is giving live demonstrations of the use of the ASSEMBLY PRO system for boosting the efficiency of control cabinet assembly. CAD-PRO laser projectors project the e-plan and installation positions of terminals, cable channels, and wiring routes directly onto the assembly plate. This visual positioning aid helps workers, especially with complex assembly processes. “ASSEMBLY PRO simplifies and significantly accelerates time-consuming manual assembly processes like mechanical installation and wiring. Laser-based assembly assistance systems can make control cabinet production up to 30 percent more efficient. This enables economical manufacturing even of small series,” explains Pierre Mehn, marketing director at LAP.
Laser-supported automobile assembly in the smart factory
LAP is demonstrating the integration of the assistance system into the control level of the “Digital Factory” using an assembly process in automotive manufacturing. In a practice project with Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany, a manual assembly station with a laser assistance system was developed and integrated into the control level of the Digital Factory. The worker interacts with the ASSEMBLY PRO system, which guides him or her step by step through the process of to-order assembly. The highlight is that by using a model car, visitors can test firsthand the application possibilities of ASSEMBLY PRO in automotive manufacture.
Component assembly in multi-variant production
At a third station, there is a pick-by-laser application combined with a Sarissa ultrasound user guidance system. Using pen manufacture as an example, visitors can see how the laser projection system shows the correct picking position in order fulfillment and assembly sequences. Using the projected work instructions, visitors can individually configure and assemble ballpoint pens.
Economical digitalization with laser projection
Laser projection systems offer clear advantages that help also SMEs implement digitalized worker guidance. Unlike augmented reality (AR) data goggles, there are no issues around wearing comfort, hygiene, or battery life. The learning curve is fast. Assembly workplaces can be equipped with CAD-PRO laser projectors at reasonable cost. With the CAD-PRO compact, LAP is offering an especially light and compact model at the show. This “little brother” of CAD-PRO is energy-saving and quiet, and can be installed with one hand over the worktable. The functions of the system can be extended in combination with LAP’s DTEC-PRO camera system.“We’re looking forward to talking to manufacturers who want to make their assembly processes more efficient,” says Pierre Mehn.
Visit LAP at Motek from October 7–10, 2019 in Stuttgart, in hall 3/booth 3412.
Further live demonstrations of CAD-PRO laser projectors by LAP will take place at the booths of Sarissa GmbH (hall 5, booth 5410) and nexonar - soft2tec GmbH (hall 7, booth 73089). | [

It was an occasion to celebrate the heroes.
It was a chance to break down barriers — including some that drew blood.
It was an opportunity to redeem the day.
On a weekend when the nation is pausing to remember the lives lost 10 years ago, people in Clark County found hometown ways to observe 9/11.
Some put on gloves in an interfaith effort to help a neighbor spruce up her home.
Others gathered at the regional 911 dispatch center to meet local first responders — including some with their own connections to 9/11.
The interfaith effort took place in the Hough neighborhood, where members of local Methodist congregations and the Islamic Society of Southwest Washington helped rehabilitate a 91-year-old home.
Barrier-busting wasn’t just a figure of speech Saturday. The Rev. Dave Tinney, pastor of Vancouver’s First United Methodist Church, recognized the symbolism in one phase of the project. The back yard was swallowed up by a blackberry thicket, with just a narrow path through the barbed brambles.
Two groups of workers started at opposite sides of the yard and kept clipping away until they met in the middle.
“You knock down barriers and come together,” Tinney said.
Volunteers also pruned trees, cleared brush and cut back shrubs.
“This is such an improvement,” homeowner Barbara Donohoe said Saturday morning as she admired the new view from her living room.
The previous night, her view had been blocked by shrubbery that was “this high,” Donohoe said, holding her hand over her head.
“I haven’t been able to see out the window,” said Donohoe, who bought the house from her grandparents — the original owners — in 1968.
Tinney said he’d been part of similar projects at his previous church, Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Bellevue.
“We started an annual building project with Habitat for Humanity,” said Tinney, who is in his fourth year at First United Methodist. “About 10 faith communities — Jewish, Christian and Islamic — started building homes.”
A few months ago, he decided to give it a try in Vancouver.
“I connected with the Islamic community here and said we’re coming up on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and is there something we can do together?”
Tinney talked with Khalid Khan, a board member of the Islamic Society of Southwest Washington.
They set up Saturday’s collaboration in partnership with Evergreen Habitat for Humanity.
Hassan Abdalla thought Donohoe, his neighbor on West 23rd Street, was a worthy candidate for the project.
“They were looking for a site, and I suggested Barbara’s house,” Abdalla said.
“It’s been a long time since I could pay somebody to do yard work,” Donohoe said.
Tinney, who was photo editor at The Columbian before going into the ministry, said the participants benefitted as well.
“Khalid and I have been trying to find ways to bridge our two communities,” Tinney said. “When you work together, you not only accomplish a task, you share fears and doubts and desires. It’s an amazing process.”
It’s something positive on a weekend marking the anniversary of a national tragedy. It’s a way to, as Tinney put it, “Redeem the day.”
“‘Redeem’ means new meaning, new worth,” Tinney said.
“On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I thought this was an awesome idea,” said Dave Gray, with Habitat for Humanity. “Show that the community can work together.”
Another annual commemoration has taken on a new aspect since 9/11, said Cheryl Bledsoe, manager of the Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency.
Each Sept. 11 — which is 9-11 in calendar shorthand — has offered an opportunity to honor 911 operators and the first-responders they dispatch to emergencies.
“That was important before 9/11, and it’s more important now,” Bledsoe said during the CRESA open house on West 13th Street. “It’s a special weekend to honor responders and volunteers.
“Any time an officer or firefighter is injured, we feel that personally,” Bledsoe said. “We’re often the first to hear ‘Officer down.’”
About 400 first responders died in the collapse of the Twin Towers, including 343 firefighters.
“That puts in perspective what people are willing to do for their neighbors,” said Matt Woodford, a firefighter with Clark County Fire & Rescue.
Woodford didn’t just salute the firefighters who responded 10 years ago: He followed them.
“I was a college student on 9/11,” Woodford said. “ | [

Can I drive a motorcycle with a car license in California?
Or maybe you’re a motorcycle driver that’s new to the Golden State.
Every motorcyclist in California, no matter what type of motor-driven cycle you drive, will need a valid motorcycle permit.
To operate any two-wheel motorcycle you’ll need a Class M1 license, also known as a motorcycle endorsement..

How do you avoid getting pulled over on a motorcycle?
If you ride the speed limit you never have to worry about getting pulled over. If you abide by the traffic laws Speed, Signals, Stop, Go and so on you will never get a ticket. Just enjoy the ride. The faster the ride the less you get to see.
Can cops use spike strips on motorcycles?
Originally Answered: Can cops use spike strips on motorcycles? It’s physically possible of course. But due to the high risk of severe injury to the rider, it’s as unlikely as the police trying to PITT a motorcycle rider at highway speeds. To make it probable, the rider has to be judged to pose a great risk to others.
Why do motorcyclists go so fast?
One of the reasons could be that motorcycle engines are usually at higher RPMs (revolutions) than the cars around them, and do have noisier exhausts that make them sound like they’re in a hurry. Sure they may be faster, but they give the feeling that they’re also much faster than say a car passing us at the same speed.
Are police motorcycles fast?
And it’s quick. In the MSP’s tests, it hit 60 mph in 4.41 seconds, made it to 100 mph in 10.75 seconds and hit a top speed of 131 mph. The iconic police bike, this is the police version of Harley-Davidson’s FLHP Road King touring bike. … And the bike tops out at 109 mph.
Is Colorado a no chase state?
Colorado Laws Blog Posts: Watch this video on YouTube CRS 18-9-116.5 is the Colorado law prohibiting vehicular eluding, which is driving recklessly and attempting to evade a pursuing police car.
Can a car outrun a helicopter?
Most reasonably fast cars could outrun a police helicopter. But the car would need a straight clear road. So a BMW M or Mercedes AMG, Corvette or top of the line Camaro or Mustang or any supercar, on a clear straight road would outrun most helicopters.
Why do cops never pull over motorcycles?
Simple answer, probably because anything less than a motorcycle cop, is going to be basically incapable of pulling over a motorcycle. They are much lighter, and much faster than a car.
Why do bikers run from cops?
They are also angry that officers enforce laws that prohibit riding wheelies and other tricks. So they said fine I just not going to pull over see ya. Sometimes it’s life or death. Sometimes a biker brakes and the cop never slows down and plows the bike over.
Do cops pull over Harleys?
Yep. I have to admit, in 20 years of riding, I’ve never seen a Harley pulled over. I’ve been pulled over on my Duc and the BMW twice (speeding). Some may contend that HD’s are too slow to speed, but mine does 100 mph with no problem.
How dangerous is lane splitting?
There is no proven evidence that lane splitting is more dangerous than a rider on a motorcycle driving in a marked lane, except if | [

The elements on Earth today were formed through nuclear reactions, the sole mechanism that has the power to change elements from one kind to another. This lesson involves building a radiation detector called a cloud chamber from every day available materials. This detector will let student see tracks of alpha and beta radiation from radioactive decay right in front of their own eyes! This engaging activity is used as a tool for teaching students: changing elements in balanced nuclear reactions; the properties of alpha and beta-minus radiation; half-lives and the exponential decay law; the decay rate and energy released from radioactive decay and comparing it with fission; and the influence of magnetic fields on charged particles.
Lesson Plan survey link: http://goo.gl/tLw7sE
The lesson plan covers a wide range of topics and is divided into modules for the teacher to adapt a lesson around. All the details are found in the attached document. The table of content of the document is found below.
• Learn the role of nuclear reactions and how they can change elements to what exists today
• Contrast the properties of alpha and beta-minus radiation to argue for differences in the ionization tracks they should leave
• Observe and describe the behaviors of ionizing radiation ejected when an atomic nucleus decays
• Apply the conservation of the number of protons and neutrons to evaluate the types of elements in the rod are changing to
• Participate in an active “experiment” demonstrating the statistical nature of exponential decay law and half-lives
• Collect, plot and analyze data obtained from this activity to extract the half-life from a decay curve
• Calculate with the half-life the decay rate expected to be observed
• Calculate the energy released by thorium in radioactive decay and compare it with fission reactions in nuclear power plants
• Predict the influence of magnetic fields on charged particles using a mathematical equation
• Relate the laboratory behavior of charged particles in magnetic fields to natural phenomena observed in nature.
Group size: Classroom demonstration led by instructor along with activities for individual students and the entire class to participate in.
Setting: Classroom with flat tables. Ability to make room dark (ideally a room with very few windows that can be blocked). Some larger tables for students to stand around and roll dice on.
Resources needed: Experimental kits (provided), dry ice (requires purchasing on the day), rubbing alcohol (>91% isopropyl), plasticine or playdoh, big cardboard box with duct tape, gloves or a towel, flash lights (the more directional the better), and stands for supporting light.

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed everyone’s life and some of us are filled with darkness, or despair because so many of us have suffered a loss. It is hard to find a bright side in these painful moments, especially since most of us are feeling a deep sense of meaninglessness about all of this senseless death. Disasters have a way of invalidating the meaning that your life had before things turned dark. It would be nice if I could emerge out of this with a deeper sense of purpose in my life and transform into the being that I am supposed to be.
It is not just the pandemic; it is also that idiot that we have for a president and his loyal following who seem to think that he is a good guy and they ignore all of his lies, that also upsets me. I see Trump as being the Dark One, a primordial, sapient, cosmic force of evil in the universe, that only cares about himself. He is the Dark Lord, a powerful villain and an evil henchman who has a history of speech and actions that have been widely viewed as racist or racially charged. It seems that he wants to divide our country by inciting hatred, which no president has ever done before. Racism has been around a long time and the way things are looking now, maybe things will actually change for the better as no particular race is superior or inferior to another, and no person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by their inborn biological characteristics.
Written for Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Sunday Writing Prompt where we are supposed to use the following quote for inspiration, “The Dark Night of the Soul is a purging process that calls us to release all that is unhealed or unnecessary— releasing all that is in the way of our highest good” and this challenge is hosted by Yves. | [

There is a new plan to get the heart of our city pumping again.
As reported exclusively in The West Australian, a council meeting will provide the platform for Commissioner Andrew Hammond to reveal how the City of Perth will overhaul the way it deals with parking, small businesses, homeless people and the “meth zombie scourge”.
The City has been hit by a retail crisis, talk of dysfunction, homelessness and a drug problem Opposition Leader Liza Harvey has said is so bad she doesn’t feel safe.
Mr Hammond said the plan - which will be unveiled at next week’s council meeting - will include three hours of free parking on weekends and public holidays, a new homeless shelter and a forum for city retailers to air their issues.
“Offsetting parking revenue expectations and dealing with homelessness are matters that are seriously affecting the economic impact of the city,” Mr Hammond said.
“We have to react to them and do it quickly.
“I think the collective view at the moment is the City should be putting more resources to these issues.”
For more on the story, including how the City would budget for the changes, read the full subscriber exclusive at thewest.com.au. | [

Greening our building seems to be a big issue for us. It is difficult for us to construct a green building with water efficiency, sustainable energy, renewable building materials. However, I think the government in Hong Kong should concern renewing many buildings by constructing different kinds of green roof.
As Hong Kong is very crowed place, constructing green roof is a space saving green measure.
It has the advantages listed below ….
– temperature reduction–> (reduce the use of air conditioner)
-improve air quality
-reduce sound transmission through absorption, reflection and deflection
– provide a relaxing and soothing atmosphere
Different kinds of green roofs
1) Podium Garden
2) Sky Garden (photo taken in IFC, HK)
3) Vertical Greening
Instead of really greening our building, we can do our part in our daily lives to green our buildings which includes….
1) using energy saving appliances (energy saving fridge/ light bulb/ washing machines)
2) open more windows to adopt natural light instead of turning on the light all the time
3) Using water saving gadgets in our household appliances
We are not able to construct a new house with all greening measures, but we can try to do our little part in our household to turn our building into a green building. 🙂 | [

"Adorabile..."Rate: 5 Stars
Ben segnato dalla piazza principale, ecco un posticino adorabile e intimo dove stare.
Buoni prezzi, cortesia squisita della signora Maria. Mi è scesa la lacrimuccia quando ce ne siamo andati, perchè dopo poco ormai pareva come fosse la mia nonnina!
Colazione spettacolo per soli 5 euro a testa in più... ne vale la pena.... prodotti fatti in casa, come torte, marmellata e pomodori, vi verranno serviti in abbondanza!
L`estetica è come nelle foto, floreale, accogliente, fresca.
Tranquillità totale, pulizia al top, adoriamo questo piccolo hotel a conduzione familiare!
Le stanze sono meglio che nel depliant, sono state ridipinte da poco, con colori caldi e riposanti!
La nostra stanza era dotata di bagno in camera, semplice, ma funzionale.
Questo è un angolo di Creta favoloso, lontano dal caos di altri luoghi, che consiglio a chiunque ami tranquillità e cose genuine....e con gli abitanti ancora gentili e tolleranti!
Vale il viaggio!

Staying at this hotel was a charming joy. Went there because it seemed to be the only hotel in Palekastro (there are actually two others but don`t seem to have an internet presence) and wasn`t disappointed. The centrally located hotel, is dominated by a huge and fragrant Bouganvillia plant which provides a lovely shady breakfasting area at the front of the hotel. This went nicely with the wood fixtures helping to give the building a rustic air.
The welcome was exceedingly warm and the owners went out of their way to be helpful and accomodating. They didn`t mind when a friend and her 15 month | [

Astilbes: A Field Guide
Astilbe’s feathery plumes add color to shady spots and under trees in the garden. (In cooler climates, these perennial flowers will thrive in partial sun, as well.)
You may also know these plants with ferny foliage by their common nicknames: false spirea or false goat’s beard. Blooming in shades of pink, white, salmon, purple, and red, these bottlebrush-shaped flowers can carry the garden through hot summer months after perennials fade. Like many shade-loving woodland flowers, astilbe appreciates moist, boggy conditions, so make sure you don’t stint when it comes to watering.
With hundreds of varieties, astilbes can help you out in the front of the border, mixed in the middle with ferns, or as a backdrop. (No matter how tall the astilbe, its stiff blooming spikes almost never require support, an added bonus.)
For texture, color, and hardiness, astilbes are a tough perennial to top in USDA growing zones 3 to 9 (hardiness varies by cultivar). To learn more about some of astilbe’s favorite companions, see our guides to Hostas, Western Sword Ferns, and Azaleas. | [

By Fred Fleitz — July 22, 2015
Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and Congressmen Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) issued a press release late yesterday on a startling discovery they made during a July 17 meeting with International Atomic Energy Agency officials in Vienna: There are two secret side deals to the nuclear agreement with Iran that will not be shared with other nations, with Congress, or with the U.S. public.
One of these side deals concerns inspection of the Parchin military base, where Iran reportedly has conducted explosive testing related to nuclear-warhead development. The Iranian government has refused to allow the IAEA to visit this site. Over the last several years, Iran has taken steps to clean up evidence of weapons-related activity at Parchin.
The other secret side deal concerns how the IAEA and Iran will resolve outstanding issues on possible military dimensions (PMDs) of Iran’s nuclear program. In late 2013, Iran agreed to resolve IAEA questions about nuclear weapons-related work in twelve areas. Iran only answered questions in one of these areas and rejected the rest as based on forgeries and fabrications.

(Oshkosh) It’s a ways off yet and officials at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh continue planning for the 2020 version of AirVenture in July. Dick Knapinski of EAA says for now it’s on. Knapinski says among the highlights at AirVenture this year they hope to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Snowbirds air demonstration team. In the meantime the pace at the EAA grounds has slowed down allowing maintenance crews to work on projects and staff at the museum to work on displays. AirVenture is scheduled for July 20th through the 26th. | [

Hey folks, big thank you to all of you for such great support of my music. I've been keeping busy playing and recording. I am finishing up my newest recording, "Flypaper for Freaks" and hope to have to the new record released before Christmas. So enjoy the beautiful fall weather and here is an acoustic recording of "The World's Passed Us By" that I just did with my drummer and I am happy with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it. Peace and love, Brian.
Hey folks, Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather. we take it when we get it up here in Minnesota. Anybody else tiring of all the bs going with election year politics. I originally wrote this song twenty years ago and have just done a remake a couple of months ago. It seems some things never change.
Hi folks, I hope everyone is doing well. It's finally starting to warm up in my neck of the woods, Minnesota, and I'm looking forward to the summer season. Winters can last forever where I live! Once again thanks for the great support of my music, it really inspires me. This is the very first song I wrote, eons ago, and I recorded it with my band, The Velvet Pancakes, a couple of years ago. I hope you enjoy it. Brian
Hi folks, thanks for all of the positive feedback for the music. It's really inspiring to hear how people are enjoying listening to the music. Here's another cut off of "Bubblegum Cigarette" (which was awarded Academia rockfolk album of the month for February.) Enjoy, Brian
Hi folks, Just a little note to thank all of you for all of the positive feedback and support for the music. I try to respond to everybody's messages but I'm sure there are some I may have missed. My apologies. I hope everybody is enjoying 2016 and staying warm. I've attached a new/old song for you all to check out. It's a remake of a song I recorded with a band years ago. I kind of modernized it with synths and added sax. I hope you like it. Brian | [

Using subtle tones of paint McAlpine Miller creates the illusion of transparencies within his works. A reality that is so far-fetched that it becomes a busy blur of objects which portray the idea of an energy-laden consumer society. Contrasting themes of cartoons/superheroes, and stylish European models help to illustrate the unrealistic idealism that these celebrated objects present. Objects that we all desire, whereas the reality is as impossible as the existence of the Disney characters and Superheroes. These comic references do not only convey such, but the imagery also portrays the unimportance of the celebrated objects. How the subject matter overlaps and fades into each other not only shows forgotten memories and aspirations but also illustrates a feeling of a shallow existence.
McAlpine Miller is the Artist in residence at The Savoy Hotel, London. Eight paintings were unveiled in November 2012. “A Time For Reflection” will hang in the Thames Foyer at The Savoy. His work continues to attract the attention of galleries and collectors across the world.
With further exciting collaborations set for 2015, featuring fashion, film and a truly futuristic journey, it seems that even the sky provides no limits for this treasured fine artist. | [

The Moorabool catchment is is the same situation, and the result is that our catchments are now down to 43% of capacity. To be in such a position at the beginning of June does not augur well for Geelong’s water supplies in the immediate future. To be assured of a reasonable supply over the coming summer period, and to protect our groundwater reserves, we should be instigating a few more water restrictions. It is not that the citizens of Geelong cannot cope with such restrictions, having lived with them quite commonly over the last six years.
May turned out to be a very typical month in terms of temperatures. Although the average daily minimum was almost a degree below average (7.2 to 8.1) the daily maximums were the same amount above average (18.1 to 17.2). This averages out to be an exactly typical month.
A disappointing month meteorologically, the only really notable feature was the couple of extended spells of fine, settled weather under slowly moving high pressure ridges. Several fogs occurred and a couple of frosts in inland areas.

NEWBURGH – The City of Newburgh Police Department unveiled their mobile police station Thursday afternoon. The unit, purchased from Peekskill Police Department for $40,000, will create new opportunities for Newburgh police to patrol “hot spot” crime areas effectively and will also allow them to connect with their community through its use in community events and its available access to the public.
Acting Police Chief Daniel Cameron said the vehicle cost the city nothing.
“Half of it was from a private donor and the other half was Department of Criminal Justice Services, who we work with for grant funding and one of the parts of our grant funding is ‘hot spot’ policing,” Cameron said. “We put officers in areas that are prone to high violence and now we have a vehicle we can put there also as almost another station; bring the police station to the crime.”
Last weekend there were two shooting deaths in Newburgh. Chief Cameron said when it comes to violent crimes, “one is too many,” but this new mobile police station will offer a huge advantage towards mitigating future violent crimes in the city.
“… bring the police station to the crime …” said Chief Cameron | [

Does Your New Hope Furnace Need Repair?
Furnace problems happen to most Minneapolis property owners at least once.
Unfortunately, when heat systems break down, it never tends to happen at a very good time.
So when there’s a circumstance where they stop working, we don’t know who to call. We only know that we must call someone who will get our system fixed and running again soon.
Get an Appointment Soon
An emergency HVAC repair company prioritizes their service calls so that everyone gets quick help, but total system failure situations where the heat isn’t working always get priority appointments.
If your heat system is not keeping your house warm, they give your circumstance priority over their more routine maintenance calls. As much as they can, they move their appointment schedule around so they can get to your home as fast as possible.
If your system is not working at all, you should say so when you phone.
That being said, many homeowners end up having to deal with furnace problems at the same time of year. It’s commonly during the first really cold week of November.
And when a large amount of homeowners all need help, it can cause delays in responding to their situations. But they work real hard to guarantee the majority of their customers do not have to wait too long before their appointment to correct their heating problem.
Not all heating and cooling shops are prepared for a large seasonal spike in phone calls. Some of the smaller contractors do not have the additional staff necessary to handle the sudden increase in demand. Not all of them will schedule appointments during the evenings or weekends either.
How Much Will Heating Maintenance in New Hope or Crystal Cost?
The majority of HVAC repair visits end up with the technician having to replace just a single component.
As long as your system can be fixed, the final expense is usually pretty affordable.
A big percentage of heating repair service visits result in exchanging just one bothersome part or completing a single adjustment. But every one of these calls need a technician to make a special trip to visit the property owner and inspect their entire heating system.
Even though the majority of service appointments will not result in a high invoice, the bill generally won’t be too cheap either, because you are asking a technician to drive out to your place and work for an hour or more.
In the end, most homeowners find the final cost to be reasonable.
New Hope Air Duct & Furnace Cleaning Service
Have your home heating system properly maintained. Ensure your system will run cleaner and more economically.
Take away dirt, dust, pollen, animal hair as well as other nasty material that builds up inside the ducts. Make your inside air cleaner all season.
Save With a Service Maintenance Program
Getting enrolled with an annual service agreement can often reduce the number of urgent repair calls you will experience.
If you plan to have a technician clean up and check out your HVAC unit every year or so, you are very likely to end up with a system which runs better and longer than a property owner who does not spend any time or effort on upkeep.
These service visits are nearly always scheduled in the summertime. During your maintenance visit, your technician will slowly evaluate your existing heat system and show it a comprehensive cleaning.
They allow for a good amount of time for these sessions, so you can ask questions. Your tech will answer any question you have.
If your technician spots any damaged components, he might urge you have it taken care of while he is there, rather than not doing anything and waiting to see if it probably fails at some point in the months ahead.
While you routinely maintain your system, it isn’t a complete guarantee that you won’t actually run across some unexpected situation at some time in the future.
Parts will break or suddenly wear out. But frequent maintenance will definitely help.
Typical Furnace Problems
There’s a good deal of motion going on inside a standard heating system. There are a number of moving parts which all need to do their function in order to make your place warm.
And while any of those pieces could cause a problem, a lot of service visits occur because of failures of the ignition area, the thermostat or the pilot.
