The sequel to this film won't be called "Spider-Man: Homecoming 2" or have "2" in the title. Internally, Disney's Marvel Studios and Sony are referring to "Spider-Man: Homecoming 2", but that's not what the final title will be. Marvel chief Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal, the former Sony executive who is producing the film for the studio, told Collider that the film will be called "Spider-Man: Subtitle" with no "2" in the title. Feige and Pascal also told Collider that they plan on starting production in April or May 2018. See more »

Spider-Man is literally the most loved Marvel hero of all time! At last, this reboot perfectly captured the balance between Peter Parker and Spider-Man in the comics! Peter's awkward nature in high school and his attempts at being a cool superhero are both relatable and funny. Tom Holland played a good Peter Parker with the nerdy, awkward way and he manifested one of Spider-Man's significant traits: his sense of humor. The movie is full of Easter eggs and references to the comics, the previous Spidey movies, and the MCU as a whole. Not only does this movie look really good, but the villain (Vulture) looks menacing as a great villain should. How the hell did they make one of the silliest villains awesome? That's the Marvel Magic.

The entire community is invited to attend the free kick-off event and the evening promises to close with a moment to remember!
The Campaign for Student Success is a volunteer-driven effort to raise funds for Santa Barbara City College and our students. The campaign seeks to raise $1,000,000 in six weeks from 5,000 donors, with matching funds from a major donor(s). The theme for this year’s campaign is “Show Us Your Love” created by volunteers and SBCC alumni to reflect their feelings about the College.
The Campaign is part of the Foundation’s effort to meet the growing demand for financial aid for SBCC students, raising funds for scholarships, book grants, tutoring and child care. The high-energy Campaign includes a six-week phone-a-thon implemented by a network of Foundation directors, staff, students, volunteers and community leaders. Last year’s Campaign for Student Success raised over $800,000.
“Without the aid of community members, some students are forced to drop out of school due to the ever-increasing dollars-per-unit cost of tuition,” Foundation for Santa Barbara City College Executive Director Vanessa Patterson said. “As state funding for education is dwindling, efforts by the community to financially support Santa Barbara City College students are ever more important.
“People really are beginning to see the linkages between educating students who live and work in Santa Barbara and a thriving community,” said Patterson. “Preparing students for the local workforce benefits us all.”
The Campaign is the most important initiative that the Foundation embarks upon to raise funds for critical programs and student support – so that all Santa Barbara County residents who want to attend college can do so, regardless of their income.
About Foundation for Santa Barbara City College:
The Foundation for Santa Barbara City College funds programs and scholarships directly benefitting students at Santa Barbara City College. Formed by a group of community leaders, the Foundation is committed to making higher education attainable for all in the Santa Barbara community.

It seems that the first information about future events in Overwatch appeared.
Overwatch players are currently waiting for BlizzCon 2019, where next news will be announced. In the meantime, the first tips on what to expect have appeared on the internet.
It is mainly about grace, which may have been betrayed by a voice actress.
Rough, less pleasant grace?
During FanX 2019, a panel was held in which Overwatch voice actors – Jonny Cruz and Lucie Pohl took part. The actress responsible for giving voice to Grace admitted that it was difficult for her when she had to make Grace a little harder heroine lately.
It was difficult for me because it was rough, less warm. It took us a little more time because I had a problem finding some of her features.
It is not known exactly what Lucie Pohl was talking about. There are two options, or it is about the Black Cloud mission, or indeed the next event, maybe an animated film? | [

Beatrice Riviere is a Noah Harding Chair and Professor in the Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice University. She received her Ph.D. in 2000 from the University of Texas at Austin. Her other degrees include a Master in Mathematics in 1996 from Pennsylvania State University and an Engineering Diploma in 1995 from Ecole Centrale, France. She is the author of more than eighty scientific publications in numerical analysis and scientific computation. Her book on the theory and implementation of discontinuous Galerkin methods is highly cited. Her research group is funded by the National Science Foundation, the oil and gas industry and the Gulf Coast Consortia for the Quantitative Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Riviere has worked extensively of the development and analysis of numerical methods applied to problems in porous media and in fluid mechanics. Dr. Riviere is an associate editor for the SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis and a member of the editorial board for Advances in Water Resources. She has graduated a total of ten Ph.D. students, with five working in academia and five in industry.
Abstract: Thermodynamically based diffuse-interface methods are promising methods for direct pore-scale numerical simulations of multiphase multicomponent flows. The Cahn-Hilliard equations for a two-component flow are obtained after minimization of the total Helmholtz free energy. In this talk, we present a discontinuous Galerkin discretization of the coupled Cahn-Hilliard equations with the Navier-Stokes equations. Wettability on rock-fluid interfaces is accounted for via an energy-penalty based wetting (contact-angle) boundary condition. The method is numerically verified by obtaining optimal convergence rates. Several physical validation tests show the robustness and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. | [

Kungsleden is one of Sweden’s largest listed property companies focusing on long term ownership, active management, improving and developing commercial properties in chosen growth regions.
In one of Kungsleden’s properties in Danderyd outside Stockholm, they wanted to replace the old fixtures in the stairwells and corridors. Many of the old fixtures were broken and required a lot of maintenance.
We chose to install the SoHo LED ceiling lamp. This product provides a Day White light (5000K) at 21 watts. The SoHo has a built in light and motion sensor. This provides the opportunity to increase savings based on the natural light levels. The SoHo will reduce or increase the light output according to the natural light levels. The motion sensor adds additional savings, if no motion is detected the light will dramatically reduce the light output or go off until motion is detected.
Compared to the existing lighting Kungsleden should expect:
– 33% less power in the luminaire
– 67% lower energy consumption at 50% attendance rate
– Higher illuminance | [

Buying and selling cars is a very hectic thing for both the buyer and seller. COVID-19 phase has made it even difficult for the buyers and sellers. This is because most of the markets are not operational. This removes most of the opportunities for buying and selling a car. But the classified ads sites like Eshoopas make it very easy to make a great deal for the cars.
This can efficiently help you in getting rid of the dealers that say we buy cars at the best prices, but you end up selling your car for the worst price.

It is a game changer, but it shouldn’t be a ‘brain changer’.
There’s a fascination with this camera right now, but people seems to forget why. It’s image is amazing, and you can get fantastic shots & IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, but not every situation.
e.g. The image is compressed, that means it tries to loose data in areas that are not going to be noticed, or areas that are not moving. ThIs compression is normal in almost every single compression method. So, if you take a scene of a face, with the background blurred, there’s only a certain amount of the shot that this sharp, and so it can save a lot of the data in the blurry areas, as they need less information. The result is that the face area looks awesome.
However, take the same camera and do a wide lens over a landscape, where everything is changing on every frame,and it can’t make the same efficiencies, and you start to notice a softening, or buzzing and you might even see artifacts like you see in a low quality JPG image.
So, when looking at storyboards, keep this in mind as this camera isn’t the best choice for every shoot. No camera is!
“That Canon… he’s sooo hot right now.”
So many times I’ve hear people saying up front, ‘We’ll be shooting this on the 5D’. this scares the shit out of me as they as preconceived ideas of what this camera can or cannot do. Therefore, they will be pleasantly surprised when it delivers amazing images, but then this will change when it doesn’t do something that’s quite ordinary.. like timecode, or have XLR plugs.. or HD out at all times.. constantly. | [

Here is a fantastic show review of CYT Houston’s “Tom Sawyer,” written by ThePeoplesCritic.com:
“For those readers who have not yet reserved tickets to the current Christian Youth Theatre production of Tom Sawyer at the Crighton Theatre, be advised that four of the twelve performances in the run have already sold out, and only four more performances remain this weekend. Trust me, this show is in the “not-to-be-missed” category, and having seen what CYT is capable of, I am already making plans to delay my spring trip to New York just long enough so I can catch one of the Seven Brides For Seven Brothers performances the group plans for Crighton Theatre next May.
Why am I so enthused? Let me tell you something. If this show were on Broadway right now it would not surprise me if it settled in for a good long run with its young star, John Bailey, becoming the toast of the town.
He is an absolute joy as Tom Sawyer, sings beautifully, and has naturalness on stage that money cannot buy. But he is not alone. The enormous cast of talented youngsters is delightfully choreographed and flawlessly directed by Amy Barnes (Assistant Director, Dana Crenshaw), with superb musical direction from Mandy Henson, and charming and authentic period costumes from designer, Marci Lane. Jared Barnes designed the many lovely sets with Tom’s house cleverly popping right into the audience. Lighting (John Romain) and Sound (Rick Hill) rounded out the production values that make this show a total gem.
The excitement of an arriving riverboat during the lively opening number, “Here She Comes,” is led by young Jonathan Seberino and the enormous 49-member cast. (I wish I could name them all!) The song is a knockout full of the kind of vibrant energy and utter joy that would prevail throughout the show.
Bailey’s star power is clear as Tom and his gang offer a delicious romp through the cheerful song, “Gratification.” Talented Zane Nixon gets into the action as Huck Finn when he joins Tom, Ben, and Muff Potter (Adam Springer) for the rambunctious and engaging, “A Man’s Gotta Be.” Next, a well-staged graveyard scene is misty and mysterious, and maybe a murder takes place, but maybe not. Soon the action is back in town where Mr. Bailey convinces us he is an absolute charmer as Tom sings the poignant, “If’n I Was God.” Wow! Then Act One ends with another of the many speedy and efficient set changes as we find Tom, Huck and Ben running away on a river raft during the merry tune, “The Promise Land” with its bright solo moments for each of the boys.
Still to come was a spooky cave scene with the ominous Injun Joe (Joshua Bullard) and the best echo sound effects I have heard. There is a sweet “Soliloquy” from Polly and Mary before Tom leads Polly and Muff in a glowing rendition of “I Saw the Light.” The eye-popping and patriotic Fourth of July “Finale” that followed was led by the talented Liberty Girls with a full cast that seemed to brilliantly explode on stage like fireworks personified.
And off stage — somewhere—there was another set of stars: the CYT staff, parents and crew who had made the impossibly wonderful really happen, right there on the Crighton stage. Bravo!”
By The Peoples Critic.
Read the complete review, written by David Dow Bentley III, here: Polished CYT Cast Lights Up the Crighton with TOM SAWYER.
CYT Houston students John Bailey and Zane Nixon are best friends both on stage and off- they play buddies Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn in CYT Houston’s current production of “Tom Sawyer.”
According to The Courier of Montgomery County, “the best friends in real life have found that the roles of Sawyer and Finn have come quite naturally.” Here’s what Nixon (Finn) told the paper:
“We know how to do the best friend thing, so it’s much easier to show it on stage because it’s like real life.”
Bailey said, “he likes to be with his friends” and has been told, “he has a mischievous side,” much like Tom Sawyer.

Ice Storm! Even on a week when you have nothing planned, it is a scary phrase.
Have tech week planned and those are words that can cause doubt amongst the strongest CYT believers. How do you get it all done when the Ice Storm of the Century is bearing | [

Big Brother Naija ‘Lockdown’ housemate, Kiddwaya is currently in Spain on vacation with his lover.
Taking to his Instagram page to share loved-up photo with his woman, Kiddwaya professes his love for her.
He stated that he loved himself enough for the both of them.
“I love me enough for the both of us”.
Kiddwaya sparks engagement rumours
Recall that last year, Kiddwaya had sparked engagement rumours after he was spotted with his mystery lover at a club.
Kiddwaya’s engagement with the mysterious lady was confirmed by controversial media personality Iferinde Oladayo, known as Daddy Freeze, on an Instagram live session.
Kiddwaya was seen in the restaurant feeding and also kissing her. The couple were the center of attention as all eyes were on them.
Fueling engagement rumours, media personality, Daddy Freeze disclosed that Kiddwayya found love again and had proposed marriage to his white woman. The former Cool FM OAP went extreme as he threw a shade at Kiddwaya’s ex, Erica Nlewedim.
This revelation was followed by mocking reactions from netizens who ridiculed Erica for being ditched by the reality star.
Kiddwaya fuels engagement rumours
Kiddwaya further fueled the rumours as he shared a photo of himself and Nigerian international singer, Davido and a friend.
Kiddwaya asked his fans who would be getting married first between him and Davido.
His question was seen as a pointer to his announced engagement by Daddy Freeze.
Kiddwaya addresses his engagement to a white woman
In a surprising move, Kiddwaya took to his Twitter page to shed light on his rumoured engagement.
The reality star debunked the engagement as he clarified his relationship stance with her.
Kiddwaya stated that the Caucasian lady in the viral video isn’t his fiancee and they aren’t getting married.
It seems the reality star was only clout chasing as he added that it was fun seeing all of the reactions. | [

So Washington's a boomtown, now, at least according the Wall Street Journal. But thanks to the meticulous planning of L'Enfant and the no-ifs-ands-or-buts building height limit, no amount of urban growth and rejuvenation will keep Washingtonians from the sun, grass, trees and flowers that makes the city such a pleasant place to live. Sure, the District may not have New York's arts scene, Chicago's architecture, or San Francisco's restaurants — it holds its own in each of these categories, mind you — but Washington has greenspace galore. And while Rock Creek Park and the National Mall get most of the attention, there are many smaller, less heralded but equally fulfilling options for the in-the-know seekers of a shady tree, a park bench, and a little fresh air. With so many landscaped traffic circles, gardens tucked into nooks and crannies, and neighborhood parks, District residents are never more than a few blocks away from an underappreciated pocket of green, respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.

In our quest to improve our abilities in the maritime protection industry, we have been conducting a lot of research about the UAV or Unmanned Aeriel Vehicle. There are many different UAV options on the market today, and many of them can fill the need. the question is, how do you choose a UAV?
For our purpose, we must be able to launch and recover the UAV from a vessel. Most UAV's are designed to be launched and recovered in ground operations. However, some of the manufacturers have developed ways to launch from a small boat or from a large merchant vessel by employing a catapult type system. so now that you can launch the UAV, how do you recover it?
Many factors can play in the recovery especially if you plan to recover the unit on a moving ship. When the unit itself costs in excess of $15,000, you certainly do not want to lose the UAV in the water. The best system we could come up with (along with manufacturer consultation) is to use a 'net capture' system.
Additional considerations for choosing the right UAV range from the endurance of the UAV, how long it can stay in the air, the distance that it can travel away from your position and maintain control, speed and elevation capability, real time video, GPS, and auto return capability. Now these are not all the considerations but a good list to begin with.
After a lot of consideration and consultations with various manufacturers, we have come up with a few conclusions that fit our purposes. First, we must be able to deploy the UAV at a minimum range of 10km with a flight time minimum of 55 minutes. Of course there must be GPS and real time video feed. For this type of UAV, we detect a target within the 10km range and can deploy the UAV to quickly identify the target to determine if it is a threat or non threat target.
Secondly, the UAV that has a flight time endurance of up to 8 hours, and a control capability of up to 20 miles. This type of UAV is a bit larger and more of a challenge to transport between transits. However, if your need is a greater distance surveillance application, this type of UAV works great.
What we found to be the most interesting fact, is that no matter which type of UAV (within our acceptable parameters)we liked, long range, short range etc., the cost of the systems were within a few thousand dollars of each other. | [

From our research laboratories comes a line of high quality natural cosmetics, effective and with beneficial effects visible from the first applications.
Thanks to the stimulating and protective action of Vitis Vinifera, all the products of the KLORI line are synonymous with quality, safety and efficacy.
All formulations are rich in plant extracts from medicinal plants, collected during their “balsamic period“.
Guaranteeing high efficacy and at the same time safety for those who use it.
The KLORI line consists of products specifically designed for the care and beauty of hair and eyes.
All our products are rich in highly concentrated vegetal acts and are highly functional, therefore capable of guaranteeing tangible results from the first weeks of application.
What makes the KLORI line unique in the world is the extract of the Vitis vinifera buds.
This unique extract has three key actions:
It stimulates the regrowth of the hair in the areas where it does not grow
Increases the speed of hair growth (hair, eyelashes and eyebrows lengthen faster)
It increases the diameter of the hairs present making them stronger and denser.
Surely this represents our most important discovery in the scientific field, for which we have also been awarded an international patent.
Only KLORI products contain Vitis vinifera extract and this makes us unique in the world and positions us among the most functional products currently on the market. | [

Tanned skin looks attractive, vital and healthy, so when the first warm, sunny days of summer appear, we eagerly put on skimpy outfits and head out for sunbathing. Sunbathing for many of us, unfortunately, does not come easily. We expose ourselves to the sun every day and still remain pale. While those with darker complexions have the problem out of the way (their skin even without tanning looks spectacular, and after going out in the sun they catch a tan in no time), those with lighter complexions have to work a little harder to get a tan and fix it. How to get a quick tan? What to do to enjoy a beautiful tan for a long time?

Sunbathing – pros and cons
A tan is formed due to the strong influence of sunlight or artificial ultraviolet radiation similar to natural sunlight. When exposed to the sun or special lamps that emit UV rays, a defensive reaction of the skin is formed by increasing the production of melanin (pigment responsible for skin pigmentation). Thanks to the mechanism involving increased melanin secretion, the subcutaneous tissues can be more effectively protected from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays.
A tan is produced in two ways. Under the influence of UVA rays, the melanin previously present in the skin is released, after which it reaches the epidermal cells. The result is a slight darkening of the skin occurring immediately after sunbathing. On the other hand, when exposed to UVB rays, new melanocytes are formed, which begin to intensively produce melanin. Also, melanocytes already present are stimulated to produce melanin. This process results in a strong browning of the skin about 3 days after sunbathing.
Is tanning beneficial to our health and to the condition of our skin? Both yes and no. On the one hand, too intense and frequent exposure to the sun can result in water deficit and dryness of the skin, as well as its irritationirritation, hyperpigmentation, spots, peeling of the epidermis, not to mention earlier skin aging and increased risk of skin cancer.
On the other hand, tanning can have many benefits. First of all, the sun contributes to improving the appearance of the skin (it makes the skin look healthier, better nourished and glowing), it also adds radiance and vitality to our hair. In addition, it stimulates the production of vitamin D in the body, which is extremely important for immunity and bone health, has a positive effect on mood, relieves joint ailments, improves metabolism, helps fight depressive states and boosts energy.
Considering the pros and cons of tanning, is it worth exposing yourself to the sun? Definitely yes, but it must be done wisely and in moderation. While overexposure to the sun is harmful, short but systematic sunbathing (with certain rules) is advisable.
How to get a quick tan without going out in the sun? Are tanning beds and self-tanners a good idea?
In the pursuit of a strong, fast-acquired tan, many of us choose to visit tanning beds. Undoubtedly, using a tanning bed has several advantages, among which are: a nice, intense, even tan, the ability to take sun baths regardless of the season of the year and the aura, the ability to relax and unwind after a hard day, improving circulation and general well-being.
However, tanning in a tanning bed also has serious downsides: faster photo-aging of the skin, roughness and dryness of the skin, aggravation of dermatological problems, formation of hyperpigmentation, skin burns, bad effects on vision, increased risk of skin cancer. So if we already have to use tanning beds, let’s do it rarely and with low intensity.
“Tanning” with self-tanners is also not ideal. The main disadvantages of these cosmetics are: problematic spreading, uneven tan, too intense, artificial effect, formation of stains on the skin and clothes, impermanence.
There is no doubt that tanning in nature, with adequate exposure time to the sun’s rays, is a much better solution than using substitutes in the form of tanning lamps or self-tanners. | [

Union members flooded the streets of Toronto in a spirited Labour Day celebration emboldened by the birth this weekend of Canada’s newest labour group, Unifor
Proponents of the bill argue that it would create much-needed transparency for unions so that members could ensure that dues were being spent according to their interests
The Progressive Conservatives want to make Ontario a “right-to-work” province and give people the right to decide whether or not to join their workplace union
The first wave of Chinese coal miners have landed, to the chagrin of some. Chinese money is welcome in Tumbler Ridge, it seems. But Chinese muscle is another story
Figures suggest the labour movement in Canada is in a 30-year decline. Organized labour is surviving but not thriving, and anchored disproportionately in the public sector
At Dupont Station on Sunday night, William Anderson, a TTC fare collector, was shot in the neck and torso during an attempted robbery. In the aftermath, there was some discussion in the media about ways the TTC might prevent similar incidents from happening in the future
Councillors John Filion and Josh Matlow sought to strip the lockout power away from Mayor Rob Ford’s handpicked employee and labour relations committee, as the city approaches what many consider to be an inevitable standoff between unions and the administration
“I’ve never said lockout. The only people who are talking about a lockout is the union leadership.” Mayor Rob Ford responds to a question about the threat of labour disruption at the city government.
By Carmen Chai OTTAWA — The Tories are urging Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer to investigate whether the NDP broke the Elections Act after they obtained photos that suggest the official Opposition party received funding from unions. In a letter sent to Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand, the Conservatives’ lawyer, Arthur Hamilton accuses the NDP of […]
After eight years of smooth sailing under Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals, Ontario’s public sector unions have kicked off an especially anxious effort to keep the Conservatives out of office, their anti-Tory campaigns taking on a new urgency as early polls and the overall political climate has them favoured to win. This week, the Ontario Secondary School […]
Brands like Starbucks, Lego and Nokia are already using anthropological techniques to reach deep into the recesses of consumers' minds to identify sub-conscious drivers of behaviour and latent needs.

Did you know that growing plants depending on the position of the moon are a farming tradition? Do not be fooled, however, the reason behind this is actually scientific rather than pure superstition! Some would even say that this should be the natural way of planting things; it’s supposed to be the way how Mother Nature planned it. Planting plants depending on the position of the moon actually, helps the plant grow better and stronger which in turn gives out a better yield than a plant that is grown not with accordance to the moon.
As we all know, the positioning of the moon affects the gravitational pull of the moon. It actually heavily affects a number of things here on earth. For example, the ebb and flow of the ocean and other bodies of water is heavily affected by the gravitational pull of the moon. Because of this, the lives of some plants here on earth are actually affected. As the moon appears to be bigger to us, the gravitational pull upwards is stronger. This phenomenon (especially during a full moon) then pulls the water from the depths of the earth upward which means our plants get more water and nutrients naturally. It is also during this time where the moisture level of the soil and the plants around it is actually at its highest. Another thing interesting to note is that according to studies, seeds actually absorbs more water during a full moon. Since the water is pulled upwards, plants that are planted on the ground benefits the most.
Now, as the moon progresses through its cycle, the moon will soon appear smaller and smaller until there is this phenomenon we call ‘new moon’. During this time, there will be total darkness from the moon which means the water inside the earth is pushed away from the ground. This would mean that root vegetables and root crops benefit the most since the water can be found deeper.
The moon has a total of four quarters. The first two occurs during the increasing or waxing light which is between the new and full moon. The third and fourth quarter then happens right after a full moon. It is during this time wherein the light is decreasing or is waning. In general, if you’re planning to plant new seeds, it’s wise to do it during the first two-quarters up to the full moon. Inversely, pruning and harvesting your crops are best done during the last two-quarters. To be more precise, however, pruning is best done during the 3rd quarter while harvesting (including cultivating, transplanting etc.) and resting is best done during the 4th or last quarter. Additionally, if you want to stun the growth of some plants, doing so during the 3rd and 4th quarter will be the best option.Well, there you have it. The positioning of the moon actually affects our plants more than we think. Understanding the positioning of the moon and what it does to the earth can help us in growing the best type of outdoor plants. Be sure to keep this information in mind for the next moon cycle! | [

The hydraulic cylinder is the primary component of any hydraulic lift system. Pentalift’s exclusive PentaFlow cylinder design ensures long cylinder life, reduces maintenance, and eliminates oil spills. The PentaFlow cylinder is completely sealed from the surrounding atmosphere and all components are continuously bathed in fresh oil. Contamination and deterioration of the cylinder cannot occur. When the cylinder reaches full extension, the bypass valve opens and allows oil to flow through the piston to the rod side of the cylinder, out the port, and back to the reservoir. This prevents the cylinder from dead ending and building high stresses in the cylinder, equipment structure, and hydraulic system. Air in the cylinder is automatically ejected through the bypass valve. The need for manual bleeding which often results in oil spills is eliminated. Contact your Pentalift Sales Representative for more information. | [

Korea's Oskar Schindler
By CHARLOTTE EAGAR
Last updated at 16:22 30 June 2007
The sniper on the right will shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to attempt
to cross Korea's Demilitarised Zone – the most heavily mined and fortified strip of land in the world.
The people on the left are some of the 2,000 North Koreans who make
it to the other side each year – to a life of wealth and freedom in the capitalist South.
How do they do it? With the help of an ingenious modern day Oskar Schindler
The guards on the southern side of the most deadly frontier in the world are turned out well.
Scroll down for more...
They wear smart white gloves and long blue coats. Guns are slung at a precise 45-degree angle across their backs.
Their chests are stuck out, as if on parade. With drill-school professionalism, their eyes never leave the enemy; which is not hard to do, considering they are merely 50 yards away.
Those troops are, in contrast, clad in furry communist hats and grey coats, otherwise the two sides look the same – the same bronzed skin, Eastern eyes and high cheekbones.
They speak the same language. They could even be related. They could call out to each other, or run across the square in seconds, but they don't – they would be shot dead by their own comrades in an instant.
This strange place is Panmunjom, on the border between North and South Korea, the last frontline of the old Cold War.
It is the most heavily fortified frontier on Earth. Hundreds of men have died in action on this line, including two American UN soldiers who were axed to death by a North Korean raiding party in 1976.
And now with the apparent success of North Korea's nuclear programme, tensions are ratcheting up again.
I'm standing on the southern side of a concrete piazza. The square is flanked to the north and to the south by two large grey buildings, eye-balling each other with their faceless windows just like the soldiers standing stock-still beneath them.
Surreally, the square is placed in the middle of the countryside. Birdsong floats through the silence, strangely loud in the unnatural quiet.
Beyond the soldiers, the guns and the barbed wire, the birch trees and grassy hillocks look like a Constable painting.
It seems absurd that, beneath the reeds and grasses and wild flowers, lies the heaviest concentration of anti-personnel mines in the world.
The Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), as this strip is called, stretches coast to coast, 155 miles long and two-and-a-half miles wide.
The endless ribbon of barbed-wire fencing has stood here for more than 50 years. It acts as a great symbol of the divide between two very different sides – the stark, dictatorial communist North and the highly developed capitalist South.
The frontline itself is just a few feet away from us. Nothing is left to chance on this border between two mutually suspicious cultures.
The line designating the place where the two countries start and finish is literally marked – a thick white strip of paint extends across the paving.
Should anyone put a foot over this line, a team of special forces on each side will scramble into action in seconds.
Tanks and checkpoints dot the few roads that wind through the minefields – a constant reminder of the ominous nature of the border. Nobody gets across.
So the DMZ is an impassable object. And yet no wall ever changed human will.
North Koreans are flooding out of their homeland in their thousands and heading for the South.
They are leaving for any number of reasons: a ten-year famine; a ruthless state which regularly tortures and executes its people for stealing rice or owning a mobile phone; fractured families seeking to reunite; the promise of rich repatriation handouts in South Korea.
For these people, the DMZ merely means another way has to be found. Since the simple hop south is blocked by the zone's colossal firepower and obstacles, these illegal escapees undergo a very different journey – north, either on a gruelling odyssey to Thailand via China, Laos or Myanmar (Burma), or across China to Mongolia.
In Bangkok, the South Korean embassy will send them safely to their final destination.
The escapees need a lot of help to undergo this journey – clothes, passes, maps, transport, shelter and protection.
Thus the DMZ has also led to the rise of two new breeds: the traffickers who profit from their charges' misery, and the altruistic deliverers – the Oskar Schindlers – who are touched by their plight and will sacrifice their own safety for | [

Fred grew up in Colliston, Louisiana until his family relocated to Little Rock and later North Little Rock, AR. Fred graduated from North Little Rock High School in 1998. He attended Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, AR, but later received his Certification from Heritage College in Little Rock, AR. He received his training as a Medical Assistant and X-ray Technician. Fred was a Nationally Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician. He loved what he did, and he was committed to the well-being of his patients. This was not just a job or career but his passion to serve! He treated his patients as if they were his own family. He was employed by Fresenius Kidney Care as a Dialysis Preceptor until his death.
Fred aka “Coach Fred” was a devoted sports dad! He coached baseball and basketball. He was a loving and devoted “Girl Dad”! He was an “old soul” who was passionate about sports but was committed to being “present” with his children and wife. Fred loved to sing gospel music and would crank it up on Sunday mornings! He loved to sing! He loved to listen to the Canton Spirituals and Lee Williams. Most importantly he knew and loved the Lord.
Fred met and married the love of his life, Knaudia Bridges in August of 1999. They were united in holy matrimony in October 2001. To that union, three children were born: Zharia, Zhurni and Zhion. Fred’s family was the highlight of his life. He was truly a devoted husband and father.
Fred was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents: Simmie Jr. & Dorothy R. Harris, maternal grandparents: Holman & Annie M Lee, a nephew: TJ Allen, Mother-in-love: Robbie Bridges and his father: Anthony Harris.
He leaves to mourn his passing yet cherish his memories: his wife, Knaudia Harris, his children: Zharia, Zhurni and Zhion Harris (Hensley, AR), his mother: Carol Harris (Hensley, AR), two sisters: Amanda Lee (North Little Rock, AR) and Apollonia Lee (Hensley, AR), Father-in-love: Garfield Bridges, two brothers-in love: Eric Bridges and Marc ( Vera) Bridges all Little Rock, AR). He also leaves his nephews: Cameron (Miranda) Peterson (Bryant, AR), Terrell Allen, Treyvon Mackintrush, Tristan Shelton (all North Little Rock, AR), Niece: Malayia Bridges (Little Rock, AR) and a host of uncles, aunts, relatives, co-workers and friends. He bids a special farewell to Marlon “Mikey” Thomas who was more like a brother than friend.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 9, 2022, 11:00am, St. John Baptist Church, 2501 South Main Street. The family will receive friends Friday, July 8, 2022, 5:30-7:30pm, St. John Baptist Church, 2501 South Main Street. | [

“ I'm so glad I did not read all of the reviews before watching the movie because I really enjoyed it.
“ Shaun of the Dead is outrageously funny and wildly entertaining.
“ It does have most of the formulaic elements of zombie movies.
“It is zany and silly enough to be entertaining.
“ However the headmaster of the school was evil and instead of being interesting or entertaining it was very off putting.
“ I won't say that every single joke lands throughout, but the majority of the humour here is hugely entertaining, and with its playfully ridiculous vibe (particularly in the early stages of the zombie outbreak), it managed to put a big smile on my face.
“ If you are able to get in it, the music is fine, the action scenes are engaging and the horror is there with some funny moments as well.
“ The cast is charming and talented and so the ride begins very funny and very entertaining.
“ I generally dislike zombie movies and loath musicals and found Anna and the Apocalypse entertaining from opening titles to ending credits.
“ The music director had some serious fun here, and the music works: It's snappy as needed, shows the character at their worst, and basically works to emphasize the story.
“ I've sat through films that are flat out boring.
“ Boring Songs and Story With Less Flavor Than Vanilla Ice Milk.
“ The songs are co-written by Tommy Reilly and Roddy Hart, and the result is a delightfully entertaining movie that will likely find a long shelf-life in the midnight slot for many holiday seasons to come.
“ The story isn't so much told as skipped through, hopping from one plot cliche to the next.
“ With catch songs, stupidly funny set up, and overall interesting characters and enjoyable zombie violence, Anna and the Apocalypse hits all the right notes.
“ Its a waste of time, and there is ZERO holiday spirit, just so happens to take place around Christmas time so Anna can carry a candy cane I guess.
“ Was entertaining.
“ Although there is obviously heavy influence from Shaun of the Dead, I think the film stands on its own as a unique, entertaining, action-packed, and wonderfully musical film that is totally awesome.
“ Anna and the Apocalypse is one of the most unique films I have ever seen, and one of the most entertaining 90 minutes of all 2018.
“ While Shaun of the Dead is smart and snappy this movie is juvenile; seemed like it was made by, and made for, 13 year olds.
“ The kids are compelling.
“ I thoroughly enjoyed it.
“ The characters are fairly enjoyable which makes the film have enjoyable value.
“ Musicals are supposed to make you feel happy and excited, while this one was slow and sad.
“ I do not like musicals at all, but I was actually laughing at how absurd this was and in a strange way the musical aspect made it more enjoyable because people are dying and killing zombies so how about we BREAK INTO A SONG!
“ It is tonally all over the place but remains consistently enjoyable.
“ Wasted time for bored pre-teens.
“ Hearing countless people call it "A cult classic in the making" made me think that a film with such a unique melding of genres would at least have something of an original approach rather than featuring a cookie-cutter plot, characters with zero depth and cliche after cliche.
“ At mid point, the glitzy residue wears off, gags become repetitive.
“ It was very self-aware (about 80 percent of the time), which definitely made the film more entertaining.
“ Coming of age in Armageddon.
“ Anna and the Apocalypse has flat, uninteresting characters who follow painfully predictable tropes.
“ The characters are flat, one-dimensional, and mind-numbingly boring.
“ What an awfully boring piece of vegan pie.
“ With a gleefully silly premise that's backed up with some strong comedy and entertaining performances throughout, the film proves an immensely enjoyable watch, and although its musical side may leave a little to be desired, it's still an absolute delight from beginning to end.
“ Dull, unfunny and too PG.
“ The songs were ok, the story was super boring.
“ I probably won't remember it in a week, but for time I watched it, I enjoyed it.
“ This movie was really boring.
“ Just a waste of time, you'll probably just fast forward
“I found every minute of Anna and the Apocalypse to be cliche, tiresome and predictable.
“Cast are brilliant, humour is laugh out loud (especially the songs for the Christmas school concert), simple story but very very enjoyable.
“Given that the film attempts to blend so many (seemingly incompatible) genres together | [

Experimental characterization of high-speed 1.55 mu m buried heterostructure InGaAsP/InGaAlAs quantum-well lasers
2009 (English)In: Journal of the Optical Society of America. B, Optical physics, ISSN 0740-3224, Vol. 26, no 2, 318-327 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Detailed experimental characterization is performed for 1550 nm semi-insulating regrown buried heterostructure Fabry-Perot (FP) lasers having 20 InGaAsP/InGaAlAs strain-balanced quantum wells (QWs) in the active region. Light-current-voltage performance, electrical impedance, small-signal response below and above threshold, amplified spontaneous emission spectrum below threshold and relative intensity noise spectrum are measured. Different laser parameters such as external differential quantum efficiency eta(d), background optical loss alpha(i), K-factor, D-factor, characteristic temperature T-0, differential gain dg/dn, gain-compression factor epsilon, carrier density versus current, differential carrier lifetime tau(d), optical gain spectrum below threshold, and chirp parameter alpha are extracted from these measurements. The FP lasers exhibited a high T-0 (78-86.5 degrees C) and very high-resonance frequency (23.7 GHz). The results indicate that appropriately designed lasers having a large number of InGaAsP well/InGaAlAs barrier QWs with shallow valence-band discontinuity can be useful for un-cooled high-speed direct-modulated laser applications.

The amazing Johnny Cash – at a highpoint in his, what?, fifth career with American lV: The Man Comes Around – is suffering from pneumonia:
- Johnny Cash is being treated at a Nashville hospital for pneumonia, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The 71-year-old singer, who was admitted Monday to Baptist Hospital, is in stable condition, said Melissa Cantrell.
“He has a slight case of pneumonia and we expect to release him soon,” she said.
Cash’s manager, Lou Robin, said the singer is expected to be released sometime early next week.
Cash … suffers from autonomic neuropathy, a disease of the nervous system that makes him susceptible to pneumonia. Robin said Cash was diagnosed with the disease about 15 months ago. [AP]

Dane County, district to expand mental health resources in schools
Dane County and the Madison Metropolitan School District are working together to fund and implement an expanded mental health program for Madison schools, according to a release.
Dane County Executive Joe Parisi announced a countywide expansion of the School Based Mental Health Teams, which was the first in the state when it was announced in 2014.
The pilot project is being expanded to all elementary and middle schools in Madison with a grant program offered to the other school districts in Dane County, officials said.
“The effects of mental illness are far reaching, affecting classrooms, families, and workplaces,” Parisi said in the release. “We all have personal accounts of its impact and the barriers it presents to learning in school and professional development at work, not to mention the challenges it presents to maintaining safe and healthy homes.”
In 2014, the program brought mental health professionals in area schools, including Madison, Verona and Sun Prairie, according to the release. Trained professionals partner with teachers, parents and law enforcement agencies to address the root causes of feelings and behaviors that sometimes affect the learning process.
The expansion will make the crisis intervention teams available districtwide for kindergarten through eighth grade in 2016, officials said. The county and school district will share the cost of the expansion, which is $250,000.
Outside of Madison, a grant program will be available to districts interested in partnering to state additional teams, according to the release. | [

A quick rise in the number of lifted trucks is seen in the automobile industry due to increased demand from drivers. Some people purchase factory-lifted vehicles, while a few use aftermarket kits to raise them higher from the ground.
Why Do People Lift Trucks? Many people lift trucks to increase ground clearance and bring improvements in the handling of the vehicle in addition to traction. Moreover, it helps access the underside area of the truck and allows you to have better visibility of surrounding areas. Furthermore, it gives an impressive appearance, upgrades the riding experience, and improves towing ability, making it suitable for off-road driving.
Lifting kits can help you raise the suspension or the body of the vehicle to a perfect height, as you can raise it a few inches higher than the original height.
It is better to consider the benefits and the related disadvantages of lifting the vehicles as it is not essential to keep their bodies higher in ideal conditions.
Many people lift their trucks without knowing its disadvantages as it can create other issues like the center of gravity being raised that can affect the vehicle’s stability.
Furthermore, it increases the overall cost whether you purchase a factory-lifted vehicle or get an aftermarket kit for raising it above the ground, as the kit can cost you hundreds of dollars.
You will probably go to the mechanic for its installation because specific tools are required, so the installation charges will be added to its cost.
Increase clearance of the ground
The lift kits have become popular due to their practicality, as it makes sense to lift your trucks sometimes when you have to drive on uneven surfaces.
It provides better ground clearance by adding a few inches of height to the bottom. In addition, the bodies of trucks are lifted to increase the clearance instead of suspension lifting.
Such plastic lifting kits provide a height of 2 to 3 inches to the frame and help correct the brake lines and angle of the steering wheel.
Moreover, a combination of bigger tires and a lift kit allows you to trail on rough terrains confidently without worrying about damage to skid plates and bumpers.
The obstacles on rough roads, like the larger stones, can damage the vehicle’s lower body, so it is better to increase its height and make your drive comfortable.
It reduces the risk of dinging, which can affect bumpers’ appearance and cost you more when driving to the mechanic for repair.
So, you can go for off-road driving by lifting the vehicle suspension, which can help improve ground clearance and avoid the risk of damage.
Improvement in handling
The lifting of pickups can benefit in terms of handling as you can get better control of the vehicle.
There is nothing to bother about when you see the upcoming obstacles ranging from small bumps to larger rocks.
Moreover, you can easily get over all the encountered obstacles as the bigger tires can quickly move over them. The small potholes and any irregularities of the road can easily be avoided.
You can install a lifting kit if you are a passionate driver who loves to drive on different terrains to test the driving skills and potential of the truck to handle the stress.
A pickup with bigger tires and raised suspension can easily manage to make its way through the rocks where small vehicles usually get stuck.
Lifting kits allow you to have a better view of the surroundings when sitting in a higher truck compared to smaller ones.
In addition, it allows you to understand traffic patterns quickly compared to other drivers.
The seat height increases when you raise the vehicle’s body, allowing you to see over the other cars and smaller automobiles on the road.
It becomes easy to detect traffic issues, and you will not get stuck in traffic by choosing an alternative route.
It increases the visibility to the underside of the pickup when you want to access any component.
It rarely happens when you have to inspect the components or for repair purposes, but it can help you in this aspect.
Furthermore, it allows you to easily reach underside areas and inspect them without bumping into the pipes.
Improve towing ability and traction
The raised pickups have better-towing abilities that positively impact their performance. In addition, the suspensions are usually affected by towing as the towed object stresses it.
Its suspensions are not much affected when you tow a vehicle that is equipped with lifting kits.
Accordingly, it is safe to haul the load and tow heavier objects as it can handle the towing efficiently.
Additionally, the larger tires ensure better traction as the larger surface area of the tires remain in contact with the road and produces enough friction.
These vehicles can work well in hazardous conditions having the risk of slippage when the tires are expected to lose contact with the ground.
Furthermore, they can quickly move on wet roads with a reduced risk of slippage and ensure the safety of the drivers when they drive through muddy or snowy roads.

Teaching how you can produce a great song continues to be a passion of mine for aproximatelly two years now. I’ve realized that teaching the aspects entails breaking down all of the facets of a great song and making them beginner favorable.
One of these simple aspects will be the song lyrics that I find lots of people wrestle with. I believe the primary reason is simply because no one has previously broken the procedure down to make it simple. Effectively today is the lucky day of yours since I am going to be that individual to accomplish that for you. Stick to this mini guide and you will be writing song lyrics that are amazing quickly.
Step one: Work on the idea of yours
When composing song lyrics, it’s vital that you understand where you need for doing it for use. You’d not go to Africa without very first choosing going first might you? So why would you begin writing without knowing the places you wish to go? This’s the most crucial phase which shapes not just the spirits of the song lyrics but additionally the words you are going to use in them.
When doing this, try your utmost being as particular as is possible. Rather than composing a song about love, create a song about having your heartbroken by the girlfriend of yours, and falling in love with the neighbor of yours. The reason you need to be specific is simply because broad titles frequently doesn’t inspire more material. Writing about heartbreak brings much more heartbreak ideas. You breaking up with someone, your folks getting a divorce, or perhaps debating on leaving somebody once they’ve cheated. The point of mine is, get really specific.
Step two: Start writing Figure out how to produce a great song by hearing songs that are good. Pay attention to the terms they chose for the topics of theirs and just how the words flow of theirs. Right after obtaining a sense for what amazing song lyrics sound like, begin using them to the composition of yours. Don’t worry if perhaps this takes you some time it’s typical. It will take lots of practice prior to you can do this within an hour. I’ve had occasions where I’ve written an entire song in aproximatelly 30 minutes. The secret of mine was the point that I began with step one and that is vitally important. Certain concepts bring the own lyrics of theirs with increased practice. | [

Meet at the park no later than 1:00 PM High tide begins at 2:00 PM. We will enter the water about 1:30 PM.
THIS IS A 1 TANK DIVE.
Max depth is 20 fsw so an AL 80 should provide 45 min+ dive. Plan to be out of the water NLT 3:00 PM as the tide begins to turn and the viz will drop. I will dive the East side and as the tide turns drift over to several rock poles called the "snorkel trail".
Divers must provide all of their own equipment and have a dive flag (recommended 1 flag /2 divers) with their group (for safety, groups should not be larger than 4). Tanks can be rented from your favorite local dive shop or you can pick one up at ForceE (about 2 blocks away from the dive site). If you need a buddy we can help you find one at the dive site.
There are bath houses with public restrooms and fresh water showers on site.
Plan to be there early parking fills up quickly! | [

See me, feel me, touch me
Seeing and avoiding obstacles remains tough. "Years ago, researchers had the idea that machine vision was a straightforward problem, and was given to a graduate student for a summer project. Turns out things are radically harder than what people in the field though," Angle says.
Many remember Phillipe Kahn from his high profile days running Borland, but now he's CEO of Fullpower Technologies. The company provides an operating environment for sensors in camera phones and consumer electronic devices.
"What we do is all about sensors. Imaging sensors, proximity sensors, and touch sensors are all part of what needs to be put to work. Sensors produce piles of organized data. Great software turns that raw data into actionable information. Fullpower is working on such solutions," Kahn says.
Micro-controllers often only have 8KB of RAM, so Fullpower writes in C and Assembler. "In the real world of next-generation intelligent devices, small, lean and frugal rule," Kahn says. "I predict that most of the successful and useful advances will come from sensor-enabled devices and networks of such sensor-enabled devices."
The language barrier
If machine vision remains a barrier for robot movement and navigation through the environment, the language barrier still looms large but is shrinking. Workable systems are appearing, particularly when a voice-recognition system can be trained or remains limited to certain vocabulary word groupings.
Larry Harris founded Artificial Intelligence Corporation in 1975, then founded Linguistic Technology Corporation in 1994, which became EasyAsk Software. Now vice president and general manager for the EasyAsk division of Progress Software, Harris continues to help machines solve language problems.
"We translate over 60,000 natural language questions per month into queries," Harris says. When people type more than two or three words into an e-commerce search field, the system has to understand enough to search the product database accurately.
"The base work for Ask Jeeves was at the AI Lab at MIT," Harris says. "They were at the top until Google came out." Google uses artificial intelligence techniques for word stemming (getting the word down to the root), language analysis, and applying the results to the index.
As an example of artificial intelligence tools becoming commonplace programming modules, Harris listed word stemmers. "You can now buy them off the shelf and plug them in. And you choose stemming rules for the language you need, since the rules for German are different than French and English."
Harris warns there are no silver bullets in artificial intelligence, just incremental advances. "People don't want to claim their product is AI," Harris says. "They just focus on the voice recognition angle. There's no real advantage to calling it AI, and even some baggage. Once you have a high proficiency example, you don't mention AI." | [

There are many who fail to seek out our history and yet continue to refer to it in order to make a point. At some point in time, the actual history of America becomes revised to fit the circumstance(s) while failing to reflect its entire purpose. We the People of the united colonies, in one voice, declared our independence from King George for usurpation of power without adequately representing our interests and for what amounted to a 1% tax.
Now, sit back and reflect on all of the wrongs that have been committed against the people of America:
- Arrests without probable cause and trumped up charges
- Setting up of law abiding citizens just to make an “justifiable” shoot
- Constant abuse of our individual privacy – drone uses, Patriot Act wire-taps, etc.
- The loss of our property rights (Kelo v. New London City decision)
- Legislation from the bench at various levels of the Judiciary, including the recent US Supreme Court ruling over the Affordable Healthcare Act
- The refusal of the Senate and the Congress to do their job – one in particular is their refusal to organize a militia, instead they increase the size of the military; authorize military toys for the local and state police forces, etc.
- Look at how much in the way of taxes you are paying. Add it all up and you will be surprised that it amounts to almost 50% of your income.
- Look at our looming and ever-increasing federal debt…
For all of these, and all we do as Americans is complain. Looking back on things, throughout the actual history of these United States of America – don’t you think that our Founding Fathers and all of the Revolutionary warriors who spilled their blood upon the ground in defense of this nation would be turning over in their graves? Our taxation alone is enough cause to be riled beyond belief – yet we just complain until we get used to it and then our taxes rise again, because we become comfortable…again.
As you ponder and reflect on our history and our Independence from tyranny from afar, consider the tyranny that is so close to us. Remember the liberties that were fought for and the God-given Rights that were recognized – yet we take them all for granted, if we even recall what any of them are, hmmmm.
I leave you now with some words from one of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, the principle author of the Declaration of Independence, and the Third President of the US under the US constitution.
Where is America’s sense of resistance? The resistance we once had is as American as hot apple pie and baseball…so where is it?
God bless and Godspeed to you all on this holiday, be safe and be vigilante in all your endeavors! | [

Sunday Service in Our Sanctuary
December 12, 2027 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Join us for our Sunday service in our sanctuary. We will honor physical distancing. Masks are recommended and will be available. If you are unable to join us in person, please join us online via Facebook Live.
We are a culturally Christian, practical and progressive Center of Spirituality.
Rev. Janice uses stories, scriptural interpretation, meditation and music to help people free themselves from conditioned thinking. Unity teaches God is Spirit; each person is a unique and sacred expression of God. We emphasize the creative power of thought and, through prayer and meditation, we clear ourselves to act from a place of wholeness and integrity.
We are a dynamic movement that honors diversity. Our teachings and principles change lives so people have a direct experience with life.
We also welcome children to our Sunday School program, which teaches children they were born to be “original blessings.” Our teachers help them discover their talents and encourage them to let their light shine. | [

I am appalled at Jeff Dietrich's blatant misuse of scripture to justify the unconscionable and unscrupulous Occupy Everywhere movement.
When Jesus told His disciples that "except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven," he was not advocating that they turn into a raucous rabble of hell-raisers who despised civil authorities, individual rights, and the proper political process for redress.
Rather than representing a spiritual awakening for "sheep without a shepherd", the Occupy Everywhere movement is the shameful culmination of a culture defined by entitlement and comfort that has conned our youth into demanding more from the state while giving less back to their own communities.
Unlike Dietrich, I do not find the message of the Occupy Everywhere movement "compelling". Words like "pathetic", "arrogant", and "destructive" come to mind, like the machinations of the uptight uber-religious Pharisees who harassed Jesus Christ and his disciples. Yet unlike their fanatical predecessors, the Occupy Everywhere protesters worship the state, the welfare check, and the public handout, all at taxpayer expense.
I am sure the residents of Downtown Los Angeles and every other major metropolitan region would agree that Occupy Everywhere has long overstayed its unwelcome presence, however "childlike". From adult activities like drug use, to rampant criminality, to pollution in the public domain, Occupy Everywhere has become an eyesore perpetuated by adolescents masquerading as adults, who still demand to be cared for from cradle to grave.
Indeed, these Occupy protesters are like children, but not the kind that can continue the call of civilization, which demands that individuals channel their frustration into proper demonstrations and political activity. They must also respect the rights of others to disagree and carry on living their own lives. Most of all, individuals of a civilized society must allow, not thwart or frustrate, the marketplace and the public square, both of which foster the civic-mindedness that we all deserve, both young and old. | [

The Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2007 was Killed by invoking cloture, although the vote in favor of the bill moving forward was 55 to 42 with 3 not voting. In order for Senate Bill #3 to move forward the Senate needed a super majority vote to continue its progress. All 42 votes against the bill were Republicans except for Harry Reid of Nevada. Five Republicans voted to proceed with the bill along with all the Democrats except Reid D-NV. There were three Senators that didn’t vote- Brownback R-KS, Johnson D-SD, and McCain R-AZ. | [

I absolutely love when Texas Tech wins. Fortunately for me and the rest of you Red Raiders, winning is all we have seen the last five games. I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am! What is the ceiling for this team? 4th place in the conference? Make it to the sweet sixteen? It is ok to dream a little bit about what this team might do. Haven't you ever bought a lottery ticket? Maybe the odds were not in your favor, but you dreamed about what could be.
This game really was a tale of two halves. In the first half TCU was on fire from the three point line and Tech was settling for mid range jump shots that they were not making. At half time Tech was down 12 and it felt like it might not be their night. But the second half was a totally different story. The Red Raiders came out with energy and intensity that TCU could not match. Tech played much better on both sides of the ball and won a close game. Good teams are supposed to win these types of games and it is safe to say Tech is a good team.
- Ross was the leading scorer tonight with 25 points. This was a career high for him and he has been our most consistent player during the 5 game winning streak.
- Free throws were solid tonight. 26-33 (79%). Tech was in the bonus with 10 minutes left in the game. If they don't make the throws then the outcome would have been different.
- Please go watch the highlights from this game. Smith was flying all over the court. Off the top of my head I remember three alley-oop dunks he made and one on them was a reverse. Absolutely fantastic! He also scored a career high 23 points along with 3 blocks and 8 rebounds.
- Texas Tech made history tonight by winning 5 in a row in Big 12 play for the first time. Congratulations to Coach Smith and his team.
Next up Tech heads out on the road to play the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday at 11 am. | [

A lot of players are going to play tonight, and that means a lot of games will be played at home.
Here are a few players who could be a big part of the Coyotes’ home-court advantage going into Game 6.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins The Oilers have been without their captain for much of the season and Nugent is expected to be back in action Wednesday night against the Jets.
If Nugent can’t play, this could be the first time the Oilers have played in front of 20,000 fans in a regular season game since 2010.
Nail YakupovThe Coyotes have one of the best goaltenders in the game and the big Russian has been in the lineup since last season, but Yakupova has struggled this season.
The Coyotes have allowed six goals in five games this season, including two in Game 3.
He will get a chance to get his first NHL goal tonight against the Sharks.
Nail Yakov and the Coyotes will play their second game in three days at Honda Center.
The home opener is Thursday against the Kings.
Ryan KeslerThe Ducks will host the Kings and Ducks in Game 7, but Kesler has been out of the lineup due to a shoulder injury.
Kesler was one of eight players who were called up for the Ducks last year.
He is the only Ducks player who has played more than 100 games this year.
Nick BoninoThe Blues are expected to play in their second home game in two days.
Bonino has been on injured reserve for two weeks after getting hurt during a game against the Ducks on April 10.
Bonin is coming off a career-high 27 goals and 66 points in 70 games this past season.
Jared SpurgeonThe Capitals have played the Predators and Predators-Wild in two of their first three games and Spurgeon is expected back in net for the Capitals on Wednesday.
The Predators have allowed 17 goals in three games.
Jakub VranaThe Wild are hosting the Kings for the first of three games, and Vrul is expected in net again.
Vrulin has not played in the last three games after playing a season-high 32 games last season.
Vrul has four goals and eight points in five career games against the Wild. | [

The parents of the murdered grad students are filing wrongful death suits against the University for using misleading information about the surrounding areas to recruit students to the school. The interesting highlights of the LA Weekly post are how the cultural differences accent the case and make it a deeper issue than just losing your kids in a wrong place-wrong time scenario. Because of China’s one child policy these students are the only hope of continuing the family and are often set up to become the bread winners for the family after graduating from a prestigious university. With no child the parents have no one to provide for the family as they get old and can’t support themselves any longer. Also the lawsuits charge that using urban in the language implies safer in Chinese culture so this verbiage puts minds at ease when in reality these kids have to be more aware of potential threats. For the entire story as well as to view the actual complaint given to the court click here. | [

Recently, I was shopping for several items that normally could be found at a brick and mortar location. To my surprise I was told that both items would need to be ordered. I’m starting to see this more and more at stores like Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Office Depot, and on and on.
Retail websites are now carrying more and more items that need to be ordered. My experience tells me this is a trend that will continue. If common products must be ordered because retail brick and mortar locations want to keep inventory levels at a bare minimum, then I’ll do some comparative shopping online for the best deal.
In the case of one product, I was looking for a laptop stand. A quick visit to Office Depot’s website and you’ll find 5-6 models you can choose from. While the retail price was $99 I would have gladly paid it if they had one in stock. When I arrived at the store they only had one in stock, but it was the wrong model for my needs.
A quick visit to Ebay and I was able to find a new laptop stand in California for just $24 + $25 for shipping. It was a comparable product to what Office Depot carried on their website. By being forced to look online I saved $50.
This is my point…if common retail locations force consumers to order more and more product vs. having the product in stock, will consumers start to shop online for better pricing? I think they will. What are your thoughts on the current state of brick and mortar retail? | [

Different Kind Of Labor The Focus Of Labor Day Protest
A different kind of labor was the focus of a Labor Day protest at Tempe Beach Park on Monday.
Midwives and others were protesting the high incidence of Cesarean sections being performed on pregnant women.
Kaitlin Laney of the Improving Birth movement said America’s maternity system is broken and that health care providers should back their decisions that a C-section is the best option, with evidence one is needed.
“One in three moms are walking in and having major surgery in order to have their babies be born and if those providers were following evidence-based care about half of those surgeries could have been prevented,” Laney said.
Laney said the picketing in Tempe was an effort to let mothers know they should ask their doctor why a C-section is needed.
Tempe was one of 100 sites across the country where similar Labor Day demonstrations were held. | [

Something cool that comes from 2015 still. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) recently captured this unique view of Earth from the spacecraft’s vantage point in orbit around the moon.
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) recently captured a unique view of Earth from the spacecraft’s vantage point in orbit around the moon. In this composite image we see Earth appear to rise over the lunar horizon from the viewpoint of the spacecraft, with the center of the Earth just off the coast of Liberia (at 4.04 degrees North, 12.44 degrees West). The large tan area in the upper right is the Sahara Desert, and just beyond is Saudi Arabia. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America are visible to the left. On the moon, we get a glimpse of the crater Compton, which is located just beyond the eastern limb of the moon, on the lunar farside.
This image was composed from a series of images taken Oct. 12, when LRO was about 83 miles (134 kilometers) above the moon’s farside crater Compton. First the spacecraft must be rolled to the side (in this case 67 degrees), then the spacecraft slews with the direction of travel to maximize the width of the lunar horizon in LROC’s Narrow Angle Camera image. All this takes place while LRO is traveling faster than 3,580 miles per hour (over 1,600 meters per second) relative to the lunar surface below the spacecraft!

I tried installing a sis file and it said that this file was missing.
My question is. Since the SE p800/900 applications are working nicely with the symbian OS in Motorola A92X.
Do you think that Series60 Nokia software will work with this phone too if i supply a dummy file?? Like the SonyEricsson dummy??
No. The Motorola A9XX and SE PXXX use the same operating system and shell (roughly).
The series 60 devices use a completely different shell and a slightly different operating system.
It's like trying to install a Dell Win XP keyboard driver. You can stick it on a HP PC running Windows XP, but not on a HP Windows Pocket PC.
You look like you want to go away, But I know you’re gonna stay. For although your heart is in L.A, Your head is in my fridge. There’s flowers in your hair, they're not real their made of silk. There’s a note in your mouth, to remind me to get milk. | [

Technology keeps getting better and better. Before we know it, we’ll have things once thought to only be reality in movies or imagination. Leap is one step closer into a future that we saw in movies like Tom Cruise’s “Minority Report.”
The Leap allows used to interact with your computer by using your hands, via gestures.
The company says it’s “more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen.”
“For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements,” Leap boasts.
According to reports, it’s 200x more accurate than an Xbox Kinect and is much cheaper, costing just $70.
Good bye carpal tunnel… hello LEAP!

Testing needs standards that provide reproducible methods to compare and assure quality. Peel adhesion test method compares the performance of pressure sensitive tape to a specific requirement to identify if the measured bond strength is acceptable or not. The values are used to compare values for a single roll of tape or between rolls or lots. It is important for the user to notice what type of tape is being tested along with the adhesion value they are looking for. Peel bond Strength Tester is one of the reliable tools to measure the permanence of adhesion or peel ability of self-adhesive pressure sensitive materials.
Peel resistance of adhesives (T peel test) determines the relative peel resistance of adhesive bonds between flexible substrates using a T-type sample. The sample is clamped into a testing instrument with the bent, un-bonded extremes are clamped in the grips. Then the sample is pulled apart. The peak and average peel forces are recorded.
Various improved technique is used to test the adhesion of thin films to their substrate. In one of the technique, a test strip is taken in which several regions with adhesives are detected at which the adhesion fails and then it can be correlated to the adhesive strength.
Peeling force characterises adhesion of materials. It is the force required to remove the adhesive film from a substrate. The thickness and width of the adhesive layer influence on peeling strength. Increase of the adhesive layer’s thickness increases the energy required for peeling. So, the peeling strength increases as the adhesive layer’s thickness or width increases. Besides all these, temperature, humidity, peeling geometry are other factors that affect the peeling strength. Peel Strength Tester is used to perform this test. The value measured by the device identifies the suitability of the adhesion for the application.
In Bond Strength Tester, the substrates are set on the fixtures of the machine. A movable lead screw applies an outward force until the sample gets separated completely. The force applied to detach the bonding can be seen on the screen.
Importance of peel adhesion are:
- For temporary application, the peel adhesion maintains a minimum balance between maintaining proper adhesion which allows ease of removal.
- Many masking tapes are good that offer adequate peel adhesion at the time of application and can be removed cleanly from the substrate after usage.
- For permanent bonding application, it is important to maximise resistance to peel force should be the main focus. | [

The final weeks of the 2023-24 NBA regular season have been tumultuous for the New York Knicks. They are dealing with injuries to several key players, which has led to some mixed performances on the pitch.
For the most part, they’ve managed to stay afloat, playing around.500 basketball and remaining in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. One of the main reasons for this was the performance of point guard Jalen Brunson.
The NBA’s first All-Star put the team on his back with fellow All-Star Julius Randle and OG Anunoby missing significant time. Both players have missed 18 consecutive games, most recently appearing on January 27 against the Miami Heat.
Randle, who is recovering from a separated shoulder, remains out with no timetable to return to the field. Anunoby was able to return for three games, but had a flare-up with his elbow injury and was sidelined again.
The Knicks will once again rely on Brunson to carry the offensive load, and against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, he was once again up to the task. He scored 34 points on 12-of-25 shooting with five rebounds and seven assists to help the Knicks win 119-112 on the road.
In three games of this trip, Brunson has been on a tear scoring the ball. He scored 45 against the Portland Trail Blazers to start the game before scoring 42 of the team’s 98 points against the Sacramento Kings.
Consecutive 40+ point games placed him among some Knicks greats, becoming the first guard to accomplish that feat and only the fourth player overall. One player who previously accomplished the feat was Carmelo Anthony, who Brunson tied for another score Monday night.
Brunson has averaged 40.3 points per game in his last three outings. He is the first Knicks player to do it since Anthony did it. Information was provided by BrunsonMuse on X. | [

The connection between a small mountainous republic in post-Soviet Central Asia and a South American state surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Amazon jungles, and Andes mountains is not as fuzzy as it may seem. The explanation for this conundrum, perhaps counterintuitively, lies somewhere in ‘the Middle Kingdom’. While today’s news headlines are more focused on a 5G race and a technological Cold War between the USA and China, a somewhat quieter story is being told (or not told) in Central Asia.
A new police command center equipped with CCTV monitoring and facial-recognition devices was opened this month in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The facial-recognition technology was given to Kyrgyzstan purportedly free of charge. At this stage, there will be 60 CCTVs installed throughout the capital city, with 20 CCTVs equipped with facial-recognition technology. All of these hardware and software were supplied by the China National Electronics Import and Export Corporation (CEIEC).
CEIEC is a state-owned enterprise that is authorized by the Chinese government to deliver domestic defense and security electronic solutions to foreign markets. CEIEC’s products range from road traffic solutions and solar power equipment to unmanned aerial vehicles, radars, and aviation management systems. CEIEC is represented in Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Myanmar, Laos, Angola, Algeria, and Ethiopia. In Eurasia, the CEIEC office is located in Moscow.
Here is where the comparison between Kyrgyzstan and Ecuador becomes more relevant – with its population of approximately 16 million people and its rising street-gang culture, Ecuador once used to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world. However, since 2008, the rates of intentional homicide have been in consistent decline, reaching about 5.7 homicides per 100,000 people in 2018, down from a homicide rate of 18 reported in 2008. There is not yet a definitive answer as to what impacted the transformation of crime-riddled Ecuador into a new and popular destination for international tourists. Some observers cite benefits of legalizing gangs and granting them access to social programming; others refer to the new constitution and the new penal code.
Nonetheless, those discussions often mention China and its role in fighting street crime in Ecuador. In particular, the references are made to technological solutions that came from China. In November 2016, Ecuador introduced an emergency response and monitoring system, the Integrated Security Service ECU911. While there are conflicting accounts on whether the system came for free or was part of a loan package, the system was essential in improving the quality of emergency services. This system has 4,145 cameras across Ecuador and 16 response centers connecting national security and disaster relief agencies. The system even has an active geolocation program to track mobile devices to be used in rescue or police operations. All hardware and software to Ecuador were also supplied by China’s CEIEC.
It has become apparent that China is elevating itself to the role of an exclusive provider of surveillance systems in Central Asia, on top of emerging as the region’s main economic and development partner. It was announced only recently that Huawei and CITIC Guoan Information Technology plan to invest $300 million into Uzbekistan’s Safe City project, including the upgrade of the existing CCTVs in Tashkent to facial-recognition devices. Huawei also attempted to engage in a Safe City project in Bishkek few years earlier, but the investment agreement fell through. In Tajikistan, the Safe City project has been running since 2013, with more than $20 million loaned from China to set up the project with the help of Huawei.
That said, why is China so eager to invest in the promotion of surveillance technology, artificial intelligence, cellular networks, cross-border optical cables, data centers, and satellite navigation systems in Central Asia and beyond? The answer to this question may not be as straightforward as it appears.
Both Ecuador and Kyrgyzstan found themselves increasingly dependent on loans from China. In between 2005 and 2018 Ecuador borrowed nearly $18.4 billion from the China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China to fund large infrastructure projects. One such project was the $2.24 billion Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric dam with the projected capacity to produce 8,734 gigawatt hours of electricity per year. What was supposed to become the largest infrastructure project in the history of Ecuador, soon became one of its largest embarrassment stories. Not only was the dam built near an active volcano and without a preliminary analysis of water resources needed for the dam, but over 7,000 cracks appeared on the dam due to the substandard quality materials used by Chinese contractors.
A somewhat similar story was unfolding in Kyrgyzstan. As of March 2018, Kyrgyzstan owed the Export-Import Bank of China nearly $1.7 billion out of its $3.9 | [

Editor’s note: This post was written by Max Ajl, and originally published on Wednesday, March 25, at SolveClimate.
A couple of weeks ago, we discussed the possibilities of biochar – burning organic waste, such as wood chips, left-over crop residue or even manure at extremely low oxygen levels and high temperatures in order to produce charcoal and biogas. The charcoal would go into the ground, increasing soil fertility, while the gas would be an effective energy source, making good use of detritus that would otherwise decompose, returning its carbon to the atmosphere.
I suggested that although the technology was still distant from full-scale implementation, it had considerable promise as a way to draw-down carbon from the atmosphere.
Well, environmental writer George Monbiot has demurred. He wrote in the Guardian yesterday that biochar advocates have been “suckered.” They promote “an even crazier use of woodchips.” They wish to “turn the planet’s surface into charcoal.” They are a wild band of “magical thinkers” who wish to “destroy the biosphere in order to save it.”
Remember, this is Monbiot, a serious analyst of anthropogenic global warming, not Bjorn Lomborg or a mercenary from the Heartland Institute. This man isn’t “supposedly” in the coalition to avert disastrous warming – he’s part of it, through and through.
So what’s he in a tizzy about? A lot of nothing, it turns out, since he’s battling with a straw-man that most biochar researchers don’t take even remotely seriously.
Monbiot states that the idea that “biochar is a universal solution that can be safely deployed on a vast scale is as misguided as Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Backwards,” adding that its “hazards” outweigh it benefits, that it’s unclear if it even promotes soil fertility.
After so much huffing-and-puffing, he finally notes, “Nor does this mean that charcoal can’t be made on a small scale, from material that would otherwise go to waste.”
Monbiot is right to tear into those who propose industrial tree-farming as a way to create biomass for biochar. And of course he is right to point out that there would be problems in planting 1.4 billion hectares of trees and sugar to produce biomass for biochar, as Peter Read suggests, since the world’s arable land is 1.36 billion hectares.
But beyond that, he’s quite lost his way.
Contradicting Monbiot’s worry that it isn’t clear if biochar can increase land’s fecundity, Johannes Lemann’s research project at Cornell University has shown that biochar has tremendous effects on soil fertility.
And Jim Hansen, one target of Monbiot’s polemic, adds that serious scientists aren’t suggesting trash-forest plantations but are advocating pryolizing farm waste: turning some into charcoal-biochar-that can be buried to increase soil fertility, turning the rest, which would normally decompose, bleeding carbon into the atmosphere, into a biogas that can be used as fuel in lieu of fossil energies.
One peer-reviewed paper published by Lemann and a team of researchers in Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change advocates replacing slash-and-burn with slash-and-char in tropical areas.
Slash-and-burn leaves a residue of 3 percent of the biomass’s carbon in the soil. Pyrolysis leaves up to 50 percent. Meanwhile, deforestation could only continue until it is taxed as a carbon emission. The biochar strategy would mitigate carbon emissions while deforestation decreases. Monbiot is against this?
In another paper, published by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the authors, including Hansen, observe that
Waste-derived biochar application will be phased in linearly over the period 2010-2020, by which time it will reach a maximum uptake rate of 0.16 GtC/yr.
They add that this could draw down about 8 ppm of carbon from the atmosphere. They derive the number from the Lemann paper I cite above, which suggests that there is an adequate supply of waste biomass-rice husks, forest and mill residue, urban debris-to fuel this process. Does Monbiot seriously wish to ignore such a figure?
Finally, even the most optimistic figures scientists bandy about are based explicitly on converting biomass into charcoal and energy in the places where it is grown. Otherwise, the transportation costs would be enormous, negating the benefits. Indeed, agronomist David Laird writes explicitly of the benefits to be gained from a distributed, as opposed to centralized, network.
Monbiot is right to pillory the latter, as well | [

Natural Vibes Sunscreen Lotion with SPF 30
Description: Natural Vibes Broad Spectrum Sunblock Lotion with SPF 30 is an outdoor and indoor waterproof sunscreen + anti-pollution lotion. This triple function sunblock will provide you with protection from UVA/UVB rays and blue light. While sunlight and polluted air are the main source of harmful elements outdoor, LED lights and electronic gadgets generate equally harmful rays indoor. Our sunblock lotion protects you from both. Toxic nanoparticles in the air and sunburns can weaken your skin leading to broken collagen, dark patches, redness, acne and dryness. Our sunblock will shield your skin by creating a protective barrier that will block the toxins from clogging your pores. It will minimize sun damage and fight radicals that cause premature signs of ageing.
Why SPF 30?
SPF 30 shields your skin from 97% of the UV rays while SPF 50 shields your skin from 98% of UV rays. Higher SPF does not necessarily mean greater protection. No sunscreen can block 100% of suns rays. We have not used any harmful and chemical based toxic SPF. We have in fact used a natural Ayurvedic sun shield called Yashad Bhasma.
Natural benefits gifted by our Mother Nature –
1. Yashad Bhasma is the most effective and safe natural sunscreen alternative. An integral part of Ayurveda for centuries, yashad bhasma works on all skin types. It blocks the UV rays, thereby protecting your skin from creation of dark spots.
2. Narangi Oranges are helpful in deflecting the harmful UV rays and blue light from attacking the skin cells. Due to its high content of citric acid, oranges are a natural bleaching agent which make them effective in reducing dark patches and pigmented areas.
3. Amla can make you turn back the ageing clock, in a manner of speaking. The antioxidants and enzymes present in it prevent UV rays and pollution from attacking your skins elasticity thereby minimizing premature ageing.
4. Lemon due to its exfoliating properties assists in enhancing the glow and softness of the skin. The citric acid present in the lemon helps in skin brightening and getting rid of the dead and dry skin cells.
5. Carrot seed is known as a "healer" in Ayurveda because it has the ability to calm both the vata and kapha dosha's. Carrot seed can heal and soothe your skin thereby revitalizing it. Its natural minerals will act as rejuvenation boosters.
6. Papaya is excellent for reversing the damage done to the skin by external elements especially uneven pigmentation. The enzymes present in papaya dissolve inactive proteins and in turn bring back your original skin tone, only cleaner and brighter.
7. Wheatgerm is loaded with Vitamin E and B6 which helps in fighting excessive dryness caused by the harsh external elements. It makes sure that the moisture stays locked in.
8. Aloe Vera is called ‘kumari’ in Sanskrit, which means young girl. This is because of its ability to make you look much younger. Aloe Vera contains 96% water, which seeps through your skin and removes dead skin cells affected by these elements making your skin soft and supple.
9. Tea Tree Oil is a "tridosha" pacifier due to its cooling and moisturizing qualities. It will calm the redness, irritation or inflammation caused by UV rays and blue light. Also it has the ability to penetrate deep into your pores preventing it from clogging and creating acne.
10. Jethimadh (Licorice) is a must in a natural sunscreen as it promotes a brighter skin tone eliminating the dullness. It helps your skin to calm down and relax.
11. Peaches are rich in Vitamin A and C. It is a superb anti-oxidant that will protect your skin from the sun and the pollution. It will prevent sun induced skin ageing and improve your skins overall health

ONONDAGA, N.Y. -- Town supervisors from Onondaga County are hoping the needs of populated areas outside of Syracuse are considered when the state decides the future of Interstate 81.
Eight town supervisors gathered at Onondaga Town Hall Thursday to describe why they think a tunnel is the best, most unifying solution for the entire region.
The state Department of Transportation is expected to soon release a draft environmental impact statement, which will set in motion the process to eventually choose how to replace the aging I-81 highway in downtown Syracuse. DOT officials have said the impact statement will be releases in early 2019.
Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh has advocated for a “community grid” to replace the viaduct in the city. He’s joined by Assemblyman Al Stirpe, State Sen. Rachel May and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. The “grid” would entail taking down the elevated highway and routing through traffic onto what is now Interstate 481.
“What is less known and perhaps more significant is that 19 supervisors that comprise every town in Onondaga County are all in support of an option other than the ‘community grid,’” said Damian Ulatowski, town of Clay supervisor.
In addition to the town supervisors, State Sen. Robert Antonacci, Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon and Assemblyman William Magnarelli oppose the grid.
The town supervisors support a tunnel, saying that it would preserve high-speed connections for people traveling into and out of the city regularly. And they said they are worried about the traffic impacts on outlying areas as drivers find ways to avoid driving onto the city’s street grid.
The tunnel would cost $3.6 billion, according to an estimate from an independent firm hired by the state to review the feasibility of a tunnel. Rebuilding the viaduct would cost $1.7 billion, and the “grid” would cost $1.3 billion.
Infrastructure experts recently told Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard recently that finding $3.6 billion for such a project would be difficult, considering federal budget realities and the stiff competition for federal and state funding.
“As for costs, the best solution is often high, but aren’t we worth that cost?" Ulatowski said. "In fact, we should all stand up and shout that we are and applaud those like my associates who champion a non-'grid' alternative.”
All the town supervisors support the tunnel option over rebuilding the viaduct, Ulatowski said. That’s because the tunnel keeps the high-speed connection along the existing I-81 corridor while also removing the raised highway, which Ulatowski said has divided the city of Syracuse and is an eyesore.
The supervisors held the news conference to try to get ahead of the draft environmental impact statement that’s coming soon from the state. The state could identify a preferred option when it releases the DEIS, though it could change the design or even which option to build by the time the final environmental impact statement is released.
The supervisors also described several polls and surveys that have been conducted since 2013 that, they say, demonstrate little public support for the “grid” in the suburbs, in addition to among Syracuse residents. People who are against the “grid” have been drowned out by a vocal minority, the supervisors said.
Four of the polls were conducted by polling firms and surveyed support for “repairing or rebuilding the viaduct” at between 39 percent and 55 percent," for a “boulevard only” at between 18 percent and 39 percent and support fro the tunnel at between 12 percent and 18 percent. The results of each poll were compiled by Kerry Mannion, deputy DeWitt supervisor, and provided to Syracuse.com.
One constituent survey, which is not a scientific poll, from Magnarelli’s office reported that 35 percent of his constituents in Syracuse, Geddes and Van Buren wanted a “community grid," compared with 59 percent who wanted to rebuild the existing viaduct.
Just 16 percent of the 1,101 respondents preferred a tunnel, according to the 2018 survey.
Save81, a group aligned against the “grid," commissioned a poll in November 2016 that found 59 percent of 1,138 people polled preferred keeping the highway in its current alignment, versus 34 percent who supported the highway being replaced by a boulevard and through traffic diverted onto what is now I-481.
A news release announcing the Save81 poll results did not describe exactly what questions were asked, how the poll was conducted and who was surveyed.
The poll also did not ask about a tunnel replacing Interstate 81. At the time, a tunnel was not being considered by engineers putting the draft environmental statement together.
Mannion said the poll results show the city and surrounding areas are divided when it comes to the I-81 issue and that support for the “grid” has been overstated.

Dermal Filler Dissolving
We understand how distressing it can be when the dermal filler result is imperfect and complication happens.
Hyaluronic acid Dermal filler can be dissolved by the injection of Hyaluronidaese enzyme which take 1-2 weeks to work. There are many reasons that the filler has to be dissolve or has been requested to be dissolved for example:
The filler has moved or spread to other areas
Lumps and unevenness of dermal filler result
Allergic reaction: swelling
Late reaction: swelling lump at the filler areas which commonly see at tear through areas even a few months after the filler has been injected.

Imagine waking up to money in your bank account without actively working for it. Welcome to “Earning While You Dream: Exploring Passive Income Streams for Financial Freedom.” In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the concept of passive income, explore various avenues to generate it, and provide insights into creating a portfolio of income streams that can provide financial security and flexibility.
Understanding Passive Income
Passive income is money earned with minimal effort or active involvement. Unlike traditional active income, which requires constant work to earn, passive income allows you to generate revenue even while you’re not directly working. It’s a key strategy for achieving financial independence and creating a life with more time for the things you enjoy.
The Benefits of Passive Income
1. Financial Freedom: Passive income provides financial security and the ability to cover expenses without relying solely on a 9-to-5 job.
2. Flexibility: Earning passively gives you the freedom to focus on other interests, travel, or spend time with family and friends.
3. Diversification: Relying on a single source of income can be risky. Passive income diversifies your income streams, reducing vulnerability.
4. Wealth Accumulation: Over time, passive income streams can accumulate and contribute to your overall wealth.
Exploring Passive Income Streams
1. Rental Properties
Investing in real estate and renting out properties can generate consistent monthly rental income. Consider residential or commercial properties, or even vacation rentals through platforms like Airbnb.
2. Dividend Stocks
Investing in dividend-paying stocks allows you to earn a portion of a company’s profits, usually paid out quarterly. Reinvesting dividends can compound your returns over time.
3. Peer-to-Peer Lending
Platforms like Prosper or LendingClub enable you to lend money to individuals or small businesses in exchange for interest payments.
4. Royalties from Intellectual Property
If you’re a creative person, you can earn royalties from books, music, patents, or trademarks you’ve created.
5. Create an Online Course
If you have expertise in a particular area, create an online course and sell it on platforms like Udemy or Teachable.
6. Affiliate Marketing
Promote products or services you believe in through affiliate marketing. You earn a commission for every sale made through your referral link.
7. Create a Blog or YouTube Channel
Generating revenue through ads, sponsorships, or affiliate marketing is possible with a popular blog or YouTube channel.
8. Automated Online Businesses
Create an online store using dropshipping or print-on-demand services. These businesses can operate with minimal direct involvement.
9. Rental Income from Equipment or Assets
Rent out equipment like cameras, drones, or tools to others who need them for a fee.
10. Write an E-Book
If you’re a skilled writer, publish an e-book on platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing and earn royalties from sales.
Building Your Passive Income Portfolio
1. Research and Education: Learn about the passive income options that align with your skills, interests, and financial goals.
2. Initial Investment: Some passive income streams require an upfront investment of time, money, or effort. Determine your willingness and ability to invest.
3. Diversification: Instead of relying solely on one source, create a diversified portfolio of passive income streams to spread risk.
4. Patience and Consistency: Building passive income takes time. Be patient and consistent in your efforts.
5. Monitor and Adjust: Regularly review the performance of your passive income streams and make adjustments as needed.
Passive income is a powerful tool that can transform the way you approach your finances. By exploring various avenues and creating a diversified portfolio of income streams, you can unlock the potential for financial freedom and flexibility. Remember, while generating passive income might require initial effort and investment, the rewards can lead to a more secure and fulfilling financial future. Start today, and let your money work for you while you enjoy the benefits of earning while you dream. | [

Student activists told to be more innovative and creative
Sen, 1 November 2021 | 16:36 WIB
South Tangerang, NU Online
South Tangerang Mayor Benyamin Davnie hoped that student activists to be more innovative and creative in taking advantage of opportunities especially in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, They are in need of independence and high initiative to seize opportunities in reviving the economy.
He made the remarks while officially opening a national symposium organized by the Branch Board of the Indonesian Islamic Student Movement (PC PMII) Ciputat at the Ministry of Religious Affairs's Education and Training Center building Jl Ir H Juanda No 37 Cempaka Putih, East Ciputat, South Tangerang City, Banten, Sunday (31/10/2021).
In the symposium themed Building Synergy of Religious Moderation Movement to Strengthen the People's Economy, Benjamin Davnie said that the theme had several important objectives.
Among the important objectives, he said, were to find out the role of youth in finding creative solutions to various emering problems. In addition, He also encouraged students as the Agents of Change to quickly get out of the economic crisis during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Students must of course be able to analyze and study changes that occur in all aspects such as economic, social, and cultural. If we don't care and can't handle it properly, it is feared that in the future the same mistakes will be repeated so that the economy will continue to decline," the mayor said.
The role of students, he continued, in economic recovery efforts could also be done, among others, by acting as part of economic growth by applying the theories and knowledge they have, such as increasing purchasing power or the pace of economy, especially in the UMKM sector which is currently sluggish.
"Social distancing policies and learning from home can also be used by students to be creative and innovate. Perhaps by opening a small business that can finally help the economic recovery, although not completely," he said.
"The function and the role of students are very important in maintaining strong ties between fellow components of the nation that are finally able to strengthen national resilience, especially in the social and economic fields," the man from Pandeglang explained.
The Mayor also hoped that through this activity the PMII activists could give birth to innovations, ideas, and creations in order to build synergy in the religious moderation movement.
"Especially in helping local governments to strengthen the community's economy, especially in South Tangerang City," said the former assistant to the Mayor of Airin Rachmi Diany for the past two periods.
Meanwhile, Mansur al-Farisi accompanied by two musicians from Tunas Muda called on participants to stay balanced in the face of the Covid-19 wave. One of them is through the consolidation movement and maintaining the values of the so-called gotong royong (mutual cooperation).
The Depok's Gusdurian coordinator advised to remain firm in religious moderation, be independent in attitude, and fill spaces with benefits and works.
"Hopefully we will continue to stand firm with attitudes of independence and understanding of balance," he said.

Through a deadly rip in the ozone, a blazing sun sears the dying Amazon jungle - but it's the Lycanthrope that's ripping the flesh off a luckless group of scientists at a remote outpost. Government agent Bill Parker heads a commando team sent to investigate the silenced outpost. Tension is palpable as the jungle heat grips the group when Parker discovers that the psychiatrist, Dr. Stein, has brought along his sexy wife, Sheila, who was once Parker's lover. There's no denying Sheila is a beautiful woman with the loyalty of a piranha. Horror upstages sexual tension, however, when the group is confronted by an empty laboratory drenched in human blood. And a body torn to shreds. They soon discover that they, too, are being hunted.
The sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry kicks off with a bang for young Harry Potter when he inadvertently discovers a mysterious book that sheds light on the sordid life of the evil Lord Voldemort.
Vampires and werewolves have waged a nocturnal war against each other for centuries. But all bets are off when a female vampire warrior named Selene, who's famous for her strength and werewolf-hunting prowess, becomes smitten with a peace-loving male werewolf, Michael, who wants to end the war.
After being held in a coma-like state for fifteen years, vampire Selene learns that she has a fourteen-year-old vampire/Lycan hybrid daughter named Nissa, and when she finds her, they must stop BioCom from creating super Lycans that will kill them all.
As the war between the vampires and the Lycans rages on, Selene, a former member of the Death Dealers (an elite vampire special forces unit that hunts werewolves), and Michael, the werewolf hybrid, work together in an effort to unlock the secrets of their respective bloodlines.

The Arke range is designed as an insert fireplace which allows for easy installation and reduced building work.
IMPORTANT: Before using sizing for & drawings, please contact us for assistance. Our final quote will include projected costs for installation and labour if using our installation team.
The range comes standard with thermostatically controlled built-in fans in the base of the fireplace to distribute the heat more effectively. Kratki’s heat intensifying ceramics line the inside of the fireplace chamber, greatly increasing the performance of the fireplace. This thick layer of ceramics that reflect the heat also helps to protect the fans underneath in the case of electrical load-shedding or power loss. This wood burning fireplace has a front slide out removable ash-box for easy cleaning.
The Kratki ARKE 95 is part of the wood burning, built-in, steel fireplace range. This closed-combustion unit has a large glass door that offers a cosy, wide-angle view of the fire. The combustion chamber is unique in that it is lined with Acumotte ceramics. These specialised ceramics intensify the heat and greatly increase the heat output of the unit. Acumotte makes the burning process more efficient and helps maintain the temperature by retaining heat for longer. This well designed and timeless insert fireplace can either be installed in an existing open fireplace or built in from scratch. | [

- Camera models can be exported as "undistortion maps" and "unprojection maps" for very fast projection/unprojection and compatibility with a wide variety of software frameworks.
- Robust parameter optimization with Huber-norm loss and non-monotonic trust-region search.
- Supports N cameras with bundled adjustment optimization.
- Supports M calibration targets (ChAruCo targets) to cover larger FOVs.
- Optimizes target geometry (object points) to obtain very low reprojection errors as low as 0.01px.
- Detection of many calibration target types with improved subpixel localisation, yielding more accurate and robust localization than OpenCV.
- Advanced robust Fisheye initialization.
- Comprehensive analysis tools for assessing quality of calibration.
- Per-camera, per-pose and per-feature RPE statistics (RMS, mean, median).
- Covariance estimation and parameter correlation analysis.
- Simulation of triangulation error distribution.
- Statistical normality tests (Henze-Zirkler).
- Statistical independence tests (distance correlation).
- Visualisations of residual directions and magnitudes over the image plane.
- Available as GUI desktop software or shared object library (C++).
- Cross Platform: we currently support Windows 7+ and Linux.

Calibrate Multi-Camera Setups
The software supports simultaneous calibration of multi-camera systems. The calibration is performed by non-linear bundle adjustment where parameters for all observations are estimated at the same time using state of the art optimization methods.
Use Marker Targets for Large FOVs
When calibrating large fields of view (FOV), e.g. outdoors or for large scale metrology, calibration targets typically need to be very large. Calib has the unique feature of allowing calibration with a network of "marker targets" or individual ChAruCo targets. This is similar to the self-calibration approach used in photogrammetry, but does not have the same limitations (self-calibration has strict requirements for camera numbers and orientations to converge and needs additional | [

Bee venom and aloe vera intensive anti-aging cream
Bee venom and aloe vera intensive anti-aging cream description
Apitoxin has been used since ancient times to treat everything from psoriasis and herpes to arthritis and varicose veins.
But bee venom is also a powerful anti-aging ingredient that fools the skin into thinking it’s been stung, stimulating collagen production for a youthful, firm and toned complexion.
Meanwhile, the beehive's vitamin-rich byproducts of pollen, royal jelly, propolis and honey help keep skin hydrated, nourished and soft, while aloe vera heals and soothes dry and irritated skin. Together, this unique blend of natural ingredients revitalises skin tissue for a radiant glow.
This bee venom and aloe vera face cream is suitable for all skin types but is most effective on dry, mature and prematurely aged skin. To use, apply to the face, neck and decollete in a light circular massage each evening before sleep.
For best results, use after Hemani snail gel soap.
Composition of the Bee venom and Aloe vera cream
Aqua / aloe barbadensis leaf juice, c12-20 acid peg-8 ester, isodecyl oleate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, paraffinum liquidum, propylene glycol, glyceryl stearate se, cetearyl ethylhexanoate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, lanolin, royal jelly extract, pollen extract, allantoin, tocopheryl acetate, retinyl palmitate, bee venom extract, lecithin, carbomer, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, butylene glycol, octocrylene, potassium cetyl phosphate, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, triethanolamine, phenoxyethanol, imidazolidinyl urea, parfum
100 ml / 3.3 oz

La crème ne me convient pas du tout. Pas assez fondante, ne laisse pas la peau douce. Je suis déçue. Je pensais même vous retourner ce produit.

The United States government has compiled a list of countries whose people they would like to extend a level of protection to. They offer Temporary Protected Status to the citizens of countries that are currently experiencing high levels of trauma that may include civil war or extreme violence. This is currently the case in Syria. The Syrian civil war has resulted in the displacement of millions of people. Certain states throughout the United States have made the decision to allow Syrian refugees to live there. As of August 1, 2016, the United States has also extended the Temporary Protected Status for people from Syria. Now, Syrians are under protection from the United States through March 31, 2018.
In order to be eligible for this extension of protected status, people who are currently here will have to re-register for this extension. They must do so in the time period between August 1, 2016 and September 30, 2016, if they currently have Temporary Protected Status. If a person does not currently have TPS, they will have to apply between August 1, 2016 and January 30, 2017. In order to be eligible to apply for TPS if you are from Syria, you must continuously reside in the United States from August 1, 2016, on. In addition to these time requirements, you must also submit Form-821 and Form-765, as well as the respective fees for both of these forms. Form-821 is the application for Temporary Protected Status and Form-765 is an application for employment authorization so you can legally work while under protected status.
If you believe you are from Syria and believe you may be eligible for an extension of your Temporary Protected Status, you should speak with an experienced immigration attorney today to answer any questions you may have about the process.
John Sesini is an experienced immigration attorney with offices in Green Bay and Milwaukee Wisconsin. If you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact the Sesini Law Group, S.C. and obtain your initial consultation. | [

If the world warms by three degrees the Mediterranean and parts of Europe will wither in the summer's heat.
BARCELONA - Countries in the northern hemisphere can expect longer summer heatwaves as well as more consecutive days of heavy rain with harmful consequences.
A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change said more hotter-than-average days would cluster together if the world warms by 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times, lengthening the duration of future hot spells.
Global temperatures have risen by about 1C already and are on track for an increase of at least 3C if states cut climate-changing emissions in line with the plans they have made so far.
“Our study found that if the world warms to 2C above pre-industrial levels, we could see a significant shift in summer weather conditions from the patterns we know today," said lead author Peter Pfleiderer of research group Climate Analytics and Humboldt University.
"Extreme weather would become more persistent – hot and dry periods, as well as consecutive days of heavy rain, would all get longer."
The researchers found that if temperatures rise 2C, the chance of hot spells lasting longer than two weeks increases by 4 percent compared with today across the northern mid-latitudes, which include much of Europe, North America, and Central and North Asia.
The probability of at least seven consecutive days of heavy rain would be 26 percent higher in that same zone.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently sounded the alarm over new data showing that July 2019 was the warmest month on record. He urged leaders to come to a September summit he will host with concrete offers to strengthen climate action.
Cities have sweltered through record-breaking heatwaves this summer in Europe, with several countries - from Britain to Germany and France - setting new temperature highs. | [

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Harvey Enchin's commentary on the perils of sacrificing megaproject... is once again full of the mythology which got us seven billion humans on this planet into the deep trouble we are in at the moment.
"A job is the best cure for poverty." What fool would dispute that? But the thousands of jobs that would be created by the Site C Dam, the Enbridge Northern Gateway and Keystone XL pipelines, the Jumbo Resort or the Prosperity Mine that are (thankfully) being opposed by "aboriginal groups and self-appointed environmental guardians" are all in the resource extraction sector.
Every one of these megaprojects is rooted in a misguided ideology that promises endless growth - except that the sources for raw materials and sinks for inevitable waste cannot possibly be infinite on a planet that is itself not growing. The business plans for these megaprojects rest on the assumption that the long-term impact of the continued destruction of our natural world, which has already been massively compromised, is a fair price to pay for progress and the only thing we need to talk about is human jobs right now.
What about the future of the children whose parents will get these jobs? What will their lives be like on a planet significantly altered by runaway climate change, pollution and ecosystem and biodiversity loss? Will they not curse us for not finding some alternative sources of "job creation"?
Thank goodness people have finally risen up to fight these destructive megaprojects. The discussion of alternate ways to meet our real needs and the creation of employment as a healthy byproduct of doing so can then proceed - as it already has to a modest extent - without the background noise of wholesale destruction continuing.
No jobs on a dead planet. It's time for more columnists to wake up and realize that considering the health of the Earth, our home, is essential. Endless "fire-sale" style activities that destroy our living resources and create too many waste products for the sake of jobs and growth is economic folly.

“Let’s reinvigorate the proposed parliamentary institutional reform to fulfil the responsibilities entrusted to us,” said Rais, who congratulated the senators for their appointment.
He also congratulated Anwar on his appointment as prime minister.
“Hopefully Malaysia will continue to move forward under the administration of Anwar,” he said.
Rais also conveyed his appreciation to former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob. – Bernama, December 3, 2022.

Had my first track day with my 17 GS this past Saturday. Five 30 minute run sessions at PBIR in Jupiter, FL on a relatively cool day (ambient max's at around 75). Sessions were spread out from 9.30am to 5.30pm with plenty of cool down time. Everything was fine at the track, pressures and temperatures. Car ran great! On the way home from the track, the check engine light came on. Stopped at a gas station, fluids all fine, temperatures and pressures OK, no noises. Scheduled a maint appt for Thursday am. My wife took the car out for a quick spin today, she didn't get more than a minute down the street and all hell broke loose. Very loud banging sound from the rear of the car. She immediately crawled back to the house and parked it. Anyone out there have problems after a track day? Sounds like the rear diff? Thanks! | [

Planting Instructions (Norway, White, & Blue Spruce)
Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot. Dig to a depth where the top of the potted soil is even with the ground. Start by filling in the hole with the loose dirt you just dug up leaving any sod until last. Break up any chunks of soil that came out and crumble them up until all the loose dirt has been added back to the hole. At this time you can take the hunks of sod and break them up in to smaller pieces. Place them on top of the dirt you already added. Try to pack them in firmly without putting a lot of pressure on the newly potted root ball.
If your hole is still not even with the ground then add more dirt on top from another source. If possible, simply dig some slices of earth with your shovel and lay them around the top of the hole. It is not a bad idea to do this (regardless) to ensure the hole does not sink in during the next winter. Simply add more dirt until the area around the pot is about 2" above the ground. It will flatten out with rain and weathering.
Water the tree after planting, if you can. If watering your spruce tree is not feasible at planting time then plant your spruce tree when the soil is moist.
Amending the Soil
You should not need to add any soil amendments to the natural dirt. Spruce trees are very hardy and they should be able to get everything they need even on the poorest of soils.
If you do decide to amend the soil, please DO NOT mix hardwood mulch directly in with the soil. Hardwood mulch with fixate all the nitrogen around the hole as it requires nitrogen to break down.
Mulching the top of the soil is fine but we would recommend you do not mulch your trees until they have been in the ground for one year. Rodents like mice love to dig in freshly planted mulch especially with a loose dirt beneath it. Wait until the next spring when the dirt has firmly settled before mulching.
Clear all the weeds around the hole if possible. This certainly will be dependent on your planting location. For spruce trees planted in lawns that are continuously mowed then this will not be an issue.
For property managers who are planting spruce for wildlife habitat, it is a little more difficult. If you can, return periodically with a machete or weed whacker to cut the weeds down directly around the tree eliminating competition and allowing plenty of sun.
If weed control is just not going to be ideal then consider the following:
Norway spruce is amazingly tolerant of heavy weeds. While we would recommend knocking them back if possible, their survival rate in such conditions is outstanding even for small trees. That being said, we would recommend planting Norway spruce that are at least 18" tall in such conditions.
White spruce is also tolerant of heavy weeds but given there moderate growing rate (12 - 18" per year) we would recommend planting trees that are at least 24" tall in such conditions.
Blue spruce is not tolerant of heavy weeds because it requires a lot of sun. We would recommend planting blue spruce that is at least 48" tall in such conditions if the weeds cannot be cut back.
Never plant a Norway, white, or blue spruce in full shade. All of your spruce trees will do best in full sun.
Norway spruce can tolerate some partial shading. However; we would recommend that there is at least 4 hours of full sun with the rest of the day being partial sun. Avoid areas that see long periods of full shade in the middle of the day.
White spruce is a great choice for partially shaded areas as long as it is just that - partial. Still, we would recommend your white spruce receives at least two hours of full sun per day. Avoid areas that see long periods of full shade in the middle of the day.
Blue spruce needs full sun. Blue spruce need to be planted in a location that receives at least 6 hours of full sun per day. Avoid areas that are partially or fully shaded in the middle of the day.
Protection from Whitetail Deer
Whenever possible, it is always best to protect your newly planted trees from whitetail deer. In our experience, Norway spruce does experience some deer browsing while white and blue spruce rarely seem to be touched. Browsing will not kill your tree. They will recover just fine. But you might lose a year of new growth until new buds form and new shoots emerge.
Buck rubs can happen on any tree. The only way to protect your spruce tree from buck rubs is to cage it until the spring of the year that the tree is at least 5' tall. By next fall it will be taller and thicker. Of course, this does | [

In a special Presidents’ Day event last Monday, the Miller Center brought together top scholars to reflect on and analyze the 2012 elections. Participants included the Miller Center's Oral History Program Senior Fellow and Editor Michael Nelson, Rhodes College, as well as Nicole Mellow, Williams College; Marian Currinder, Georgetown University; and David Mayhew, Yale University. The session was moderated by the Miller Center's Director of Democracy & Governance Studies, Sid Milkis. Read on for highlights of the session and watch the video for more in-depth analysis of the 2012 election.
Nicole Mellow noted that even though Barack Obama was a very different candidate in 2012 compared to 2008, the election outcome was very similar. In 2008, he was the candidate that promoted “hope” and “change,” but this time around he represented the status quo. Whereas in 2008, he critiqued the handling of the economy, this time he “owned” a middling economy. In 2008, Obama criticized the war presidency, yet he has continued many of the same policies. According to Mellow, this demonstrates stability in terms of partisanship and voting patterns. Very few voters were up for grabs in this election.
The coalition that gave Obama success hinged in important ways on his ability to bring together two elements of the Democratic Party that haven’t always been aligned and have often proved challenging for other Democratic candidates. Mellow argued that the coalition was built on two particular moments – the New Deal of the 1930s and the social justice mentality of the 1970s. In terms of the economic commitments, 63 percent of voters with family income under $30,000 voted for Obama, bearing out a class-based alignment of the parties that has spanned the 20th century. But she also noted that Democrats have had trouble in retaining middle class support.
The Obama campaign also recognized that social justice and equality have increasing benefits for the party. Along the domain of education and educational attainment, Obama received a majority of the vote of those with a high school degree or less. But, the only other education group from which he received a majority was the post-graduate constituency. Obama also did remarkably well with young voters, who are more diverse and can be viewed as a sign of future party loyalty. Finally, Obama received strong support from African American voters (93% voted for Obama) and from Hispanic voters (71% voted for Obama), which was helpful to Obama in states like Nevada, Colorado and Florida, all three of which went to Bush in 2000 and 2004.
Marian Currinder highlighted the role of campaign spending, emphasizing its limits. She pointed out that while election spending topped $6 billion, we still have the status quo. In this election we saw the big dogs/fat cats unleashed, with one particular individual – Sheldon Adelson – playing a prominent role. Thanks to the Speech Now vs. FEC decision, individuals can give what they want to an independent group and spend what they want on speech. We also saw a greater role for Super PACs and 501c4 groups that engage in electioneering and lobbying activities, providing a means for big donors to launder money to Super PACs. There was an astonishingly small number of donors behind the $1 billion worth of outside spending. The silver lining for some is that it didn’t make a big difference – both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue still look the same. But outside groups are not going away and they’re looking for more effective ways to spend money in 2014 and 2016.
Currinder also noted that not all dollars are created equal and this was particularly evident in the presidential race. For Obama, fundraising was a tool for mobilization. Both presidential campaigns and their Party Committees raised about the same about of money, but they had very different bases of support and strategies. Currinder argued that the differences in who contributed to each campaign mattered. Obama’s donors gave smaller amounts, but he could return to them over and over again, and use fundraising as a tool to get donors involved in grassroots efforts. On the other hand, Romney’s donors maxed out after one or two contributions, so he was forced to constantly seek new donors. Romney’s approach also did little to mobilize grassroots support. Obama had more control over the money he spent because it was coming from his campaign account, whereas more of Romney’s money was spent by the party and outside groups.
Finally, Currinder asserted there are limits to the effectiveness of outside spending. She acknowledged there is no doubt that outside spending played a role, especially in House races. But, candidates know their districts and know their states. Many outside groups are based in DC and swoop in at the last minute without knowing the contours of district and what people care about.
David Mayhew emphasized that the 2012 election was about a perfect storm of incumbency and it was possible because there was little “edge” in the 2012 election (i.e. there was no Iraq War as in 2006, no | [

I must take this time to wish my Hubby a Happy birthday! We have been married now for 6 years and this has been the best time of my life.
Cedric and I met at work in downtown Dallas. He says I pursued him, but I was just trying to be friends. 🙂 He was so tall and handsome and I loved his voice! What attracted me to him the most though, was his love for the God. Him and I were both Christians who love to read. I walked by his desk one day and he had a James Patterson book there and I stopped and asked him about it. It’s not often that I would come across a man who liked to read so I was immediately intrigued.
Six years later and here we are: In love and looking forward to our future together. Thank you, Lord, for bringing this wonderful man into my life and showing me what real love feels like. | [

Kohima: Even as Kohima traders fight to recoup losses suffered due to lockdowns induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, it appears that Kohima Smart City’s recent decision to declare a “no-parking zone” along the road. main urban area of the city, coupled with “increased taxation” by Nagas political groups (NPG) cripples business in the state capital.
Peter Rutsa, chairman of the Traders Road Business Association Kohima (TRBAK), said the state government is “enforcing” the “no parking zone” along the stretch from TCP gate to Razhü point under the initiative. Kohima Smart City Development Limited (KSCDL) to create a permanent market place by removing existing parking spaces has “disappointed” local entrepreneurs and seasoned businessmen.
In symbolic protest against the enforcement measure that came into effect on Wednesday, local traders viewed their cars in the Old NST parking lot, the pilot location chosen by the Smart City Mission to convert parking lots into pedestrian spaces.. The KSCDL had previously decided to set up pedestrian-friendly bridges in the heart of Kohima town in a gradual manner.

With around 400 commercial establishments ranging from restaurants, hotels to clothing and electrical appliance stores spread along the particular stretch, local merchants shared that the specified time for parking from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. was not convenient for traders to follow.
Rutsa informed that TRBAK was recently formed in light of the state government’s recent decision to voice traders’ grievances. Although traders pay the taxes required by the government and the municipality, he said that as stakeholders, local traders have not been heard.
While the business community is aware of the traffic congestion in Kohima, he said the government is waiting to resolve the problem by creating parking spaces rather than removing the available parking areas.

With the repeated closures disrupting businesses, Rutsa said the removal of parking spaces adds to fewer business transactions as it sees a drop in consumers. He explained that local traders are also facing the increase in street vending activities outside of business stores, irregular electricity supply and lack of water supply, as all the traders in the city depend on local tankers for water supply.
Adding to the problem, he said the already existing tax problem, which has seen a “huge increase” in the wake of the pandemic, is negatively impacting local businesses. He added that instead of making the problems worse, the government should focus on solving the existing problems.
Keneikhrielie Mepfhu-o, treasurer of TRBAK, said that “the need of the hour is parking spaces” and not parks in the city along the section of the national road.
He said the government’s temporary arrangement to divert car parking was not feasible for both traders and buyers. Expressing his dismay at the recent ordinance passed by the state government, he said that before implementing such guidelines, an appropriate government research and development team should have investigated the areas and parts stakeholders to understand the feasibility of applying the ordinance.
In addition, Keluongutuo Solo, co-organizer of TRBAK, added that the “experimentation” of some projects along the stretch at the expense of local traders. He informed that traders suffered significant losses in terms of rupee crores cumulatively.

The traders informed that the grievances they face have been forwarded to the relevant authority through the Kohima Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) office. The KSCDL, while taking note of the problems encountered by traders, proceeded with the implementation of smart city projects.
In addition, traders have said they are willing to cooperate with the government if the relevant authority can ‘convince’ local traders how the ripple effect of open spaces by removing existing parking spaces can. generate an environment conducive to the city’s economy, as it claims. by the letter addressed to the KCCI dated August 24. | [

How To Create a Realistic Hover Effect with jQuery
Would you like to Create a Realistic Hover Effect With jQuery? It adds a rising hover effect to a set of icon links using jQuery’s animate effect. In a nutshell, the JS appends the reflection/shadow to each
<li>, then animates the position and opacity of these elements and the icon links on hover. And
.stop() eliminates any queue buildup from quickly mousing back and forth over the navigation.

Looking for a fun weekend event? Stop by Full Moon Reflections Art Gallery on Saturday, June 17th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm for an art opening with Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust to celebrate nature photos taken by local children.
The photographs featured in this exhibit are the result of a Kids Nature Photography Workshop that was taught by Emmanuel Vaucher during the beginning of June. The workshop was taught to connect kids with nature and get them thinking outside the box. Each student has selected the nature photo they like most to exhibit. The art opening will take place in the downstairs portion of the gallery where art classes are taught. Light refreshments will be served.
Special thanks to Juanita Willson and Emmanuel Vaucher for donating their time and making this event possible. We hope you can stop by to celebrate the young talent of Camden! | [

Background: Age-related changes to left ventricular (LV) early diastolic recoil confound the diagnostic value of e′ velocity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Systolic–diastolic coupling quantifies passive left ventricular elastic recoil and may be superior to e′ in differentiating abnormal diastolic recoil in HFpEF from healthy aging. This study aims to determine the effect of healthy aging and HFpEF on systolic–diastolic coupling. Methods: Healthy adults (n = 141, aged 20-90 years) underwent right heart catheterization (RHC) to quantify LV filling pressure and tissue Doppler echocardiography to define peak velocities and excursion (velocity time integral) of the mitral annulus. Separately, HFpEF patients (n = 12, age 67 ± 5 years) and controls (n = 12, age 68 ± 5 years) underwent RHC and echocardiography. Systolic–diastolic coupling was measured as early diastolic excursion (EDexc) divided by systolic excursion (Sexc). Results: In healthy adults, EDexc/ Sexc declined by 15% per decade of life (r2 = 0.53, P <.001). EDexc/Sexc was significantly lower in HFpEF compared with controls (0.43 ± 0.11 vs 0.56 ± 0.11, P =.011), while e′ was similar (6.2 ± 1.5 vs 6.8 ± 1.3 cm/s, P =.33). Using ROC analysis, EDexc/Sexc had an AUC to detect HFpEF of 0.82 (0.61-0.95, P =.007), which was superior to e′ alone (AUC 0.60(0.39-0.80), P =.39; P =.026 for difference). Conclusions: Systolic–diastolic coupling, quantified by the EDexc/Sexc ratio, declined linearly with healthy aging. The EDexc/Sexc ratio was further reduced in HFpEF and able to predict HFpEF more accurately than e′ alone. Systolic–diastolic coupling may be a useful diagnostic tool to detect HFpEF.

|Title:||Cement durability program, long-term field exposure of concrete columns|
|Authors:||United States. Army. Office of the Chief of Engineers.|
Roshore, E. C.
|Publisher:||Concrete Laboratory (U.S.)|
Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.)
|Series/Report no.:||Technical report (U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station) ; C-72-2.|
Abstract: Fifty-two portland cements were collected from 47 cement mills distributed throughout the United States for the purpose of developing information about the manufacture, composition, and durability of these cements. After an extensive laboratory test program (previously reported), concrete columns were fabricated using these cements, and these columns were exposed at outdoor tidal weathering stations at Treat Island, Maine, and St. Augustine, Florida. Variables in the exposures were exposure location, type of cement, and aggregate type. The outdoor exposures were carried on for periods up to 30 years. Concrete columns made with untreated cements exhibited very low resistance to the tidal freezing and thav1ing at Treat Island. Concrete columns made with treated cements exhibited good to extraordinary durability. The treated cements contained a saponifiable material such as resin, tallow, or oil, and the resultant air-entraining property of these cements accounts for their good durability in the tidal freezing-and-thawing exposure. The durability of concrete columns at Treat Island with respect to the aggregates used is in the following order (maximum to minimum durability): traprock, gravel or dolomite, limestone. The results of these Treat Island exposures indicate the necessity for providing an appropriate air-void system in concrete which is to be exposed to freezing and thawing while saturated. This air-void system can be provided by the use of an air-entraining cement (as in these cases) or by use of an air-entraining agent in the concrete mixture. Concrete columns made with 48 cements (44 untreated cements and 4 treated cements) exhibited satisfactory resistance to tidal weathering at St. Augustine, Florida. Concrete columns made with three cements (two treated cements and one untreated cement) performed unsatisfactorily in the St. Augustine exposure. These cements had a high tricalcium aluminate (C3A) content (more than 13 percent), high is believed to be responsible for their poor performance. The St. Augustine exposure indicates the necessity of specifying maximum limits for the tricalcium aluminate content of a cement which is to be used in concrete which is to be exposed to a moist high-sulfate environment.

If anything characterises Roman culture and interior design, it is the wall painting and the quintessentially Roman mosaic. In York, the big houses, villas and mansiones, continued to be built into the late third to early fourth century, evidenced by the remains of town houses decorated with mosaic pavements. Where there are mosaics there is, or was, money. We have evidence of town houses with mosaic floors at St Mary, Castlegate and in Aldwark, Bar Lane, Toft Green and Clementhorpe. Particularly impressive is the extensive, high-end town house in Bishophill built in the late third century; it can boast at least two ranges of rooms around a central courtyard.
The Mosaic With a Woman’s Head
This impressive section of flooring, probably the floor of a corridor, boasts complex patterns and a woman’s face staring straight back at you. The pupils of her eyes are made from single pieces of rounded black jet and her right cheekbone and the side of her nose are highlighted in white. It was found beneath a medieval church floor in Aldwark; her gaze into the future is probably one of the most memorable vestiges of Roman York.
A fabulous creation: a fantastic sea creature from a mosaic found in Toft Green. According to its sole classical reference in Ovid’s Fasti (3.793 ff), the Ophiotaurus (Οφιόταυρος Serpent Bull) was powerful enough to enable whoever slew it and then burnt its entrails to bring down the gods no less. The monster was killed by an ally of the Titans during the Titanomachy, but the entrails were retrieved by an eagle sent by Zeus before they could be burned. The creature had emerged from Chaos with Gaia and Ouranos. If anything was going to impress your visitors and dinner guests then this piece of fabulous decoration was it – a guaranteed conversation starter and certain to provoke dining room envy.
The Four Seasons Mosaic
Another conversation piece. The magnificent ‘Four Seasons Mosaic’ was uncovered in 1853 in the course of drainage work at Tanner Row. Three other mosaics were also found in the same house, obviously suggesting someone very wealthy lived there. A coin of the emperor Claudius Gothicus was discovered underneath it, thereby telling us that the mosaic must have been laid down during or after his reign (268–270).
The mosaic depicts the head and shoulders of Medusa who is surrounded by the four seasons. Medusa was a popular image in Roman homes: her petrifying ability to turn people to stone was thought to ward off evil. The four seasons are each shown with emblems associated with their particular season. Spring is depicted with a bird, summer with a bunch of grapes, autumn with a rake and winter with a bare branch. The grapes, though, have caused some controversy. It is now believed that the original summer depiction was of ‘fruit and foliage’ – the grapes being the work of nineteenth-century conservationists rather than Roman mosaic makers. Unfortunately, the well-intentioned conservationists sacrificed summer fruits with something more closely associated with the characteristic ‘mellow fruitfulness’ of autumn.
A section of wall painting can be seen in the crypt under York Minster. | [

What I liked
My wife's experience was truly awful and an insult to the values of the NHS. In particular it was counter to the values espoused by the Hull & EY NHS Trust. The communication skills of the doctors are absolutely disgraceful and prevent them from carrying out their professional roles effectively, to the harm of the patients in their care.
What could be improved
The assumptions about the duties and responsibilities of doctors towards patients needs to be challenged and reframed. Doctors need assessed and trained in relation to their communication skills. Ward-based doctors need to see beyond the walls of the hospital and engage with the lives and circumstances of the fellow human beings and construct effective after care plans. | [
