Are new builds overpriced?
The first negative is that new build property is often overpriced for the market.
Now it depends on how you go about buying your new build property but often these are marketed to you by property marketers or by people who sell these for a living.
Another negative is that you don’t get any income while you’re building..
Do new home builders negotiate price?
But, one of the main questions on everyone’s mind during this consideration stage is, “Will home builders negotiate on price?” Whilst most custom builders probably won’t budge too much on price – what they can do is come up with cost saving options for you. Yes, there are ways to save money on your new build!
Why do builders pay closing costs?
“At the most basic level, it costs money to borrow money and the charges associated with the closing of your home are to allow for the lender and title company to do their jobs.”
Is it better to use builder’s lender?
Builders cannot require that buyers use their preferred lenders and cannot charge them a higher price for using a different lender. But they can offer incentives, such as credits for closing costs, to buyers who use their affiliate lender.
What if I can’t afford closing costs?
If you can’t get the seller to pay your closing costs, ask your lender to include all or a portion of the closing costs in your loan. This option is available on FHA and VA loans, but not on conventional loans. … Understand, however, that this method not only increases your loan balance, but also your monthly payment.
Is buying a new home worth it?
Buying new will cost you 20% more, analysis finds. Buying a new home instead of an existing one has plenty of perks: Maintenance costs will likely be lower, the home will be more energy efficient and it will look more modern. Of course, you’ll pay for those perks; new homes cost more than comparable used ones.
Who pay closing costs on House?
Who Pays Closing Costs? Closing costs are primarily paid for by the buyer. However, there is at least one closing cost that is paid for by the seller: the real estate agent’s commission. Sellers pay for the real estate agents on both sides of the transaction.
How can I avoid closing costs?
Here’s our guide on how to reduce closing costs:Compare costs. With closing costs, a lot of money is on the line. … Evaluate the Loan Estimate. … Negotiate fees with the lender. … Ask the seller to sweeten the deal. … Delay your closing. … Save on points (when interest rates are low)
What upgrades are worth it in a new home?
The areas most everyone will tell you it is worth spending the money to upgrade:Kitchen cabinets (taller, slide out drawers)Better quality floors.Higher grade counters and tile.Moulding and trim.Larger shower and/or tub.Electrical / Data packages.Closet shelving packages.
Can I buy a house with no closing cost?
Many lenders offer what’s called a “no closing cost” or “zero closing cost” mortgage. With these mortgages, the lender will front many of the initial closing costs and fees, while charging a slightly higher interest rate over the duration of the loan. Once you are in your home, you’ll pay a larger monthly payment.
How much are closing costs on a new house?
Whether you’re buying, selling or refinancing a home, you will have to pay for a number of closing costs. The rule of thumb is to expect your closing costs to add up to anywhere from 1.5 to 4% of the price of the home – and that’s on top of your down payment.
Can you negotiate closing costs?
If you’re prepared for mortgage closing costs before they hit, you won’t be surprised by the final figure. You can negotiate | [

There has been no final draft report on SA’s much debated land reform issue, the chairperson of the expert advisory panel on land reform said on Saturday.
Chairperson of the expert advisory panel, Dr. Vuyo Mahlati said that the panel is currently finalizing its report for consideration by the Inter-Ministerial Committee and The Presidency as planned. Therefore, no final draft has been submitted as a report yet. This comes after AgriSA President, Dan Kriek said on Friday that he and at least one other member refused to sign the panel’s report due to issues it had relating to expropriation without compensation.
Kriek added that they released instead an alternative report stating their perspective on land reform based on proven agricultural practice and sustainable economic growth. The alternative report states which proposals and recommendations in the panel’s report, are supported and which are rejected.
Dr Vuyo Mahlati announced on Saturday that AgriSA is not officially on the panel. He added that “members of the public and organizations were given an opportunity to submit their inputs. Mr. Dan Kriek, the AgriSA President and Mr. Nic Serfontein are panel members in their personal capacities and not as representatives of AgriSA.”
Mahlati said access by AgriSA to confidential panel documents was concerning.
He said they were concerned with the ‘AgriSA Minority Report’ because it contained and lays claim on content that emanates from panel processes. He added that reports headlined, “Agri SA submits minority report after refusing to sign advisory panel document,” were inaccurate, factually wrong and misleading.
“There was no document to sign, and thus no reason to refuse.”
The panel on land reform was appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa to provide independent advice to the Inter-Ministerial Committee comprised of 11 cabinet ministers. The panel was expected to submit its report to the Inter-Ministerial Committee by the end of March. However, due to intensive ongoing engagements, the panel was granted an extension. | [

California-based Boox — which CEO Matt Semmelhack says is on track to ship 1.3 million Boox boxes in 2022 compared to roughly 100,000 in the inaugural year of 2021 — launched a new service “almost directly to SB54,” it says Semmelhack. It invites brands to return the Boox shipper and inner packaging material for reuse. “Over time, this will lead to e-comm brands transitioning to reusables not only for the outer carrier like Boox, but also for any inner packaging material, garment bags, etc.”
Reorienting a business toward reuse is also more likely to avoid unintended consequences, such as “manufacturers finding other resource materials — like cutting down trees — to meet guidelines according to the letter of the law,” he says. “We will need to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, not just give an “out” by making things more recyclable or compostable.”
Refill and reuse systems can also reap dividends for the business, he adds. “Brands are able to make the returns process an additional offline touchpoint after purchase that leads to sales, retention, loyalty, etc. — all those critical things that direct-to-consumer brands look for.”
Brands already focused on reducing plastic welcome the bill. Everlane says it has eliminated 90 percent of virgin and single-use plastic from its supply chain, shifting to recycled plastic polybags and recycled fibers in its clothing, among other things, and Katina Boutis, the company’s director of sustainability brand, says they are working on the rest. “We hope that Senate Bill 54 will support us in developing solutions for the last 10 percent of our goal, namely apparel and spandex, driving much-needed innovation in recycling,” she says. “Most of the virgin plastic left in these areas requires material innovations that are not currently available at scale.”
Some companies have already found alternatives or ways to avoid some common products that generate waste. Hailey Bieber’s Rhode beauty brand, which launched in June, doesn’t offer samples, according to CMO Claudia Allwood, who says they’re holding off until there’s a better, “responsible” way to offer them.
Credo moved away from all single-use plastics in 2020, including sample packs, as well as other items, including sheet masks. “That item can last for hundreds of years, even though we only use it for seconds,” Davis says. They now have a travel-sized jar made from recycled, plastic-free materials that they invite customers to refill when they want to try a new product. But, Davis says, the search for a sustainable way to test products is about more than the material itself. | [

The present invention relates generally to methods and apparatuses for performing in-circuit testing of digital components. More particularly, the invention is related to a method and apparatus for diagnosing faults in a device having boundary-scan test capability.
In-circuit testing is used to test integrated circuit devices to ensure, among other things, that the various components of a particular device under test (DUT) are properly interconnected. In addition, in-circuit testing techniques are used to ensure that the various integrated circuit devices mounted together on a common circuit board are properly interconnected. The primary advantage of in-circuit testing is that the DUT can be tested without physically disconnecting it from its surrounding circuitry. This translates into significant savings in both time and cost.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) boundary-scan standard specifies test logic that can be incorporated into an integrated circuit device to provide standardized approaches to testing the device using in-circuit testing techniques. See IEEE standard 1149.1. This standard is fully described in the document entitled "IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture," published by the IEEE, which is incorporated herein by reference. The boundary-scan technique involves the inclusion of a shift-register stage (contained in a boundary-scan cell) adjacent to each component pin so that signals at component boundaries can be controlled and observed using scan testing principles.
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary implementation for a boundary-scan cell 10 that could be used for an input or output terminal of an integrated circuit. Depending upon the control signals "M" and "S/L", applied to the multiplexers 12A, 12B, data can either be loaded into the scan register from the "SI" port, or driven from the register through the "SO" port of the cell into the core integrated circuit of the component. The operation of this boundary-scan cell is more fully described in the above-referenced IEEE standard document.
FIG. 2 illustrates how a number of boundary-scan cells 10A, 10B, 10C, etc., may be interconnected to each other and to a core integrated circuit 18, to form a "boundary-scan device" 16, i.e., a device equipped with boundary-scan test capability, as defined by the above-referenced IEEE standard. As shown in FIG. 2, the boundary-scan cells for the pins of a component 16 are interconnected so as to form a shift-register chain around the border of the integrated circuit 18, and this chain is provided with serial input and output connections "TDI", "TDO" and appropriate clock and control signals (not shown).
To allow the components to be tested, the boundary-scan register can be used as a means of isolating on-chip system logic from stimuli received from surrounding components while an internal self-test is performed. Alternatively, if the boundary-scan register is suitably designed, it can permit a limited slow-speed status test of the on-chip system logic since it allows delivery of test data to the component and examination of the test results.
Note also that by parallel loading the cells at both the inputs and outputs of a component and shifting out the results, the boundary-scan register provides a means of observing the data flowing into the component through its input pins and a means of delivering data from the component through its output pins. This mode of operation is valuable for fault diagnosis since it permits examination of connections not normally accessible to the test system, e.g., the connection (i.e., trace) between an external input terminal 11A of the device and an input 18A to the | [

We will write a custom Essay on Political Issues: Libertarianism Advantages specifically for you
301 certified writers online
Libertarianism is a philosophy that embraces freedoms in the choices and pursuance of issues in all the realms of society. Within the philosophy of libertarianism lies the question of moral responsibility and moral justice for the actions of individuals or states when looked at from a broader perspective. One of the areas where this philosophy has been applied in the field of politics, especially the area of foreign policy.
Proponents of libertarianism also referred to as libertarians, argue for the free will of states when it comes to the development of policies that guide their interaction with other states.
This paper presents a supportive argument of the philosophy of libertarianism, especially its application to the field of foreign policy. The paper argues that the libertarians present a desirable framework on which the foreign policy grounds are supposed to be established in international relations.
Overview of libertarianism and foreign policy
As observed in the introductory part of this paper, libertarianism is a political philosophy that puts liberty at the center of interaction in all the realms of interactions between states on the global scene. Liberty, as used in the postulation of the arguments in the libertarian school of thought in the field of political science, means action based on the free will.
It also means that individual actors do not have to be interfered or forced to align with a certain cause that they deem unfavorable or unfit for their choices. Libertarianism, as applied in the foreign policymaking process, is based on the assumption that individual countries have a right to do whatever they want as long as their decisions and practices do not infringe on the rights of other states (Buley 222).
According to Duncan and Machan (3), libertarianism is the basis on which the principles of liberalism in the contemporary global political economy are rooted. Libertarianism is widely referred to as classical liberalism. Thus it argues for the openness in conducting affairs for the sake of the collective benefits of actors and those who are affected by the actions.
Opinions and theses by libertarians on foreign policy
One of the arguments that are inherent in the opinions that are raised by the supporters of libertarianism about foreign policy is that states take protectionism approaches when it comes to the development of decisions that guide their interactions with other states in the world.
The central issue that comes out when it comes to foreign policy choices by states is the issue of national security and the role of the government in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of the citizenry. However, it is important to observe that libertarianism reiterates the observance of the principle of mutual respect, even as states seek to attain their national goals in international relations.
Whether this can be attained is an issue that is debatable. Nonetheless, the most critical thing is that libertarianism provides a framework that guides the cooperation of states when it comes to the development of relations and the enhancement of objectives (Huebert 190).
Huebert (190) observes that the proponents of libertarianism support the principle of non-intervention. According to the principle, nation-states are independent entities and the activities that go on within a country immensely lie within the jurisdiction of that state. This further implies that the continuity and affairs of individual states can only be best dealt with by that state without the generation of external pressure from other states or players in the word.
The proponents further put forward an argument about the question of interests and the issue of interference in the affairs of individual states by other states. Perhaps, the pace at which several states in the world, like the United States, directly interfere or intervene in the political developments of other states through its foreign policy choices needs to be explored here.
What makes a lot of people to support the philosophy of non-intervention is that other nation states take advantage of other states when it comes to direct intervention. For instance, the United States often brings out the issue of national security and the universal protection of the rights and freedoms of all people in the world as supportive evidence for their direct actions in other states.
The resultant development of these kinds of interventions is the subjugation and worsening of the state of security and humanity, as well as the undermining of the supremacy of other governments and political regimes (Huebert 190).
Therefore, most people find it worthwhile to side with libertarianism because it is vital for the protection of the interests of individual states from the foreign policy choices that are made by other states in the global political arena. According to Daddow and Schnapper 330), non-intervention is in most cases seen as the route towards the establishment of a fairground on which governments take actions.

Archbishop of Canterbury to Resign at Year's End
March 16 2012 2:19 PM ET
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion who criticized the election of openly gay bishops in the American Episcopal Church, will step down at the end of 2012 to take a position at Cambridge University.
In a Friday statement that did not specify the reasons for his departure, Williams said, “It has been an immense privilege to serve as Archbishop of Canterbury over the past decade, and moving on has not been an easy decision.”
[Dr. Williams] will be leaving a church struggling with dwindling congregations and torn by debates over issues ranging from homosexuality to the role of women in the church. Those issues have contributed to new strains with the Roman Catholic Church, which has offered to accept Anglican clerics who disagree with what is seen as a liberal trend among some Anglicans.
In 2010, Williams called “regrettable” the election of Mary D. Glasspool, a gay clergywoman who is now a bishop suffragan in the Los Angeles Episcopal diocese (the Episcopal Church is one of 38 provinces within the Anglican Communion, which counts an estimated 80 million followers).
Williams said that growing tensions between the more liberal-leaning Episcopal Church and conservative Anglican churches in Africa and elsewhere were “made still more acute by recent decisions in some of our provinces,” referring to a subsequent decision by the Episcopal House of Bishops consenting to Glasspool's election.
Williams became archbishop in 2003 as stateside controversy brewed over the Right Reverend V. Gene Robinson, who became the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop.
In a Friday interview, Williams said the archbishop’s role is one “of immense demands and I would hope that my successor has the constitution of an ox and the skin of a rhinoceros, really.”

I see this post has a white background, unlike the previous post.
2 feet is awefulluly close to the BG and I think what I'm seeing is your model has some "bleed" coming from the BG onto the model, which tends to wash out some finer details around the periphery of the model and will look less defined.
Just my thoughts, not asked for as usual, but nonetheless if anyone reading this and is interested in fine tuning their white backgrounds without being scoffed at by posting in the "lighting forum"
Getting a White Background with Speedlightshttp://www.lighting-essentials.com …kground-with-speedlights/
Your thoughts are gratefully welcome. You dropped off the face of the Earth in the previous discussion we had (in PM), so I thought you lost interest.
Let me organize my thoughts (I am an engineer).
1) If you can take the time, can you add a few arrows in the photo to see where you see the bleeding, so that I can try to figure out what happened.
2) I am extremely limited in space (and funds, if I want to get that 70-200L f2.8...this century...).
2a) I can't get background gear (seamless, stands etc) because I don't have space to store them in my Manhattan appartment.
2b) This leaves me with the option to shoot high key, or low key.
Low key (small aperture, distant background) doesn't work because the 32" umbrella spills too much light to the distant background. The fact that the whole room is white and camera left I have a white lacquer wall unit... I tried flags, but only a small circus tent would work...
I tried black foamcore background near the model, but you can see it, and I failed to remove it digitally. At the time, I didn't have very good control of the lights, so that maybe something I should try again.
High key is more promising. Initially I used the wall, which is white, but the wall to wall distance is 12 feet... not enough for 6 ft separation of model/background and separation of model/camera. I was shooting with a zoom at 30 mm cropped of course.
So I moved in the long dimension of the room and used the translucent 42" reflector as the background. Unfortunately, even for this shot, the edges of the photo are beyond the circle of the reflector, so I had to remove the edges digitally and pour color from the reflector portion.
At least the reflector part got lit evenly (I started with A:B flash power ratio 1:1 and finished dropping the flash power of the background by 2/3 f-stop (if I remember correctly).
I was pretty happy with my 'digital' background...
Maybe you don't see it, but I feel that I have seen tremendous progress and increase in my knowledge and skill.
I owe a lot to the critique I got in this thread (yours among others) that focused my effort to improve my skills in specific issues.
I put my first effort in portrait/PostProcessing here and Nick Owensby and Rivest did their take in PP. For me, this became the standard to achieve and I devoted a lot of time and research on how to do it (in Linux, let's not forget... I can't go out and buy a package of Photoshop/LR actions). And I had some success...
So believe me, I am grateful for your thoughtful and constructive comments.
I apologize for the long thread to our fellow 60Ders, but I feel there is some value in learning from other people's experiences, trial and tribulations.
Edit: I just finished reading the article you linked to. It dawned on me that flashpower ratios are wrong if I don't factor in the distance ratio as well. So, instead of 1.6:1 that I thought I had it was more 1:2 because the background flash was half the distance to the background than the umbrella to the subject.
I have to figure out how to meter this... without a lightmeter... | [

DZHUS, “Totalitarium”, AW15, Kiev.
The Autumn-Winter 2015 collection for DZHUS was filled with geometric details that used tucks and pleating to fold fabric around the body. Designer Irina Dzhus spoke to us about her pattern making process for the collection and discussed how fabric choice can make the difference between a piece being regarded as a wearable garment or sidelined as a concept piece.
From a construction point of view, the pieces in the collection use tucks and pleating in ways that are not simply quick additions to existing pattern blocks, but which are designed into the garments from the beginning. The result of this is that details are well proportioned and flow well between the front and back of the garment. For example, bust shaping is often absorbed into fabric folds that flow over a shoulder line and then continue into an equally balanced back detail as a continuous piece.
In the DZHUS profile on Not Just a Label (NJAL) the collection is described in relation to the “Totalitarium” concept, speaking of the inspiration provided by the “totalitarian regimes of the 20th century’s first half” with specific reference to the “terrific palaces and awe-inspiring monuments” and “solemn spirit of industrialisation” which have obviously inspired the severe construction details of the collection.
One of the quotes from the collection bio which was interesting was the phrase “The Utopian ideology glorifies an image of the working class heroine, so stern and so pure.” What is so striking about this phrase is the fact that although it is used in relation to this specific collection, it also seems to relate to the way we perceive minimalist fashion in general. After all, the DZHUS collection is a perfect example of the type of garments that people with a love of pattern making and garment construction salivate over – well-cut clothes created by someone with an eye for proportion and balance. This type of minimalism often results in garments that feel so architectural that they almost appear solid and more like an object or sculpture than a garment. For this reason, it seemed important to ask designer Irina Dzhus specifically about the construction of the garment to see if she was able to ensure that the clothes were actually worn and not just admired on a pedestal as “glorified” perfectly formed garments.
Interview with Irina Dzhus, designer for DZHUS:
Can you tell us about the process of how you created the patterns for the collection. For example, do you often work by draping directly onto a mannequin? Or do you tend to work solely using flat pattern making techniques?
My choice of the technique depends on the particular design I’m creating. When I want to play up the traditional patternmaking principles – for example, to invert them somehow, – I draw the construction first, then I sew a prototype, try it on a mannequin and make some corrections, if needed.
When I work on complex folds or tucks, or when the main thing about the design is certain balance or proportions while it’s worn, then I go for draping onto a mannequin right away.
You have mentioned some of the special finishes that you used in the collection such as exposed seam allowances, raw hems and seams piped with elastic. Did you have any particular problems in creating these finishes? Do you have any advice for other designers working with raw finishes?
Certainly, I’ve faced some concerns during my experiments with the special finishes. For example, loose fabrics just wouldn’t keep an unfinished hem. The solution I found was making a very thin stitch next to the fabric edge (the colour of the fabric and the thread had to be quite the same), which would help save the material’s structure, yet show the effect of a raw hem. When it comes to piping seam allowances with elastic, it’s important to make sure that the fabric doesn’t gather in the event, unless if that was the idea.
The tucks and pleats you use communicate the same straight lines and repetition as constructivist architecture in keeping with your “Totalitarium” concept. How do you balance this rigidity with the need for the clothes to be worn? Do you feel the fabric choices help to make these structures more wearable? Are the clothes stiffened by internal structure such as canvas or fusing?
All of my designs are totally wearable. I always interpret architectural elements through the prism of the human body shape. When I work on a construction, no matter how complicated and geometric it is, I take into account that the result should serve as clothing. Since I create fashion, not costume or pure art, I only bring to life the styles that can be easily worn – some for very special events, some in everyday life, but always with comfort.
I often stiffen my pieces with fusing but no more than they do for a classic jacket, for | [

Clives Davis Comes Out The Closet, Says He’s Very Much Attracted To Men And Women
Clive Davis has come out as bisexual in a recent interview with Katie Couric. The very private music mogul, who has worked with Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson, admitted to the talk-show host that he does happen to find men very attractive, but reassures that he’s not a gay man, he still loves women, – he shares an equal love for both of them.
Davis, who is the chief creative officer at Sony Music, knew he was bisexual a long time ago, in fact, after his marriage fell apart in the 1980s, he discovered that he was becoming very close with gay men. But here’s what’s interesting; Clive has actually never confirmed his sexuality, though everyone had just assumed he was a straight man, and it’s not really anyone’s business, but seeing that he shared it with the world now… we question ourselves why he did it.
Speaking to Katie, he says: “I opened myself up to the possibility that I could have a relationship with a man as well as the two that I had with a woman. I’m still attracted to women… You don’t have to be only one thing or another. For me, it’s the person.” So we’ve established that he’s a bisexual man — why didn’t Couric ask him if he has a man in life as of right now? Ugh, you can never count on Katie to ask the most important questions in an interview.
But here’s what’s funny. Clive just happened to have released his autobiography, The Soundtrack of My Life today – and when people usually have something scandalous to say, it’s because they have a project out that they want to have publicized… and what better way to do that than the way Clive did it? A shocking confession that he is bisexual. | [

EnergyDay gathered that the NOGOF, a brainchild of NCDMB was is a biennial events, brings together major players across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria and Africa to showcase opportunities that exist in the industry and present available in-country capacity.
Wabote however stated that the opportunity fair aligns with the key objectives of Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act 2010(NOGICD ACT), mandating the NCDMB to support the development of local capacities in Nigeria oil and gas industry, and to foster institutional collaboration, maximize utilization of Nigerians in oil and gas activities, link the oil and gas sector to other sectors of the economy, maximize utilization of the Nigerian resources, among other objectives.
The NCDMB’s boss said that the goal is to use NOGOF as a platform to promote these objectives and drive growth and development across the Nigerian oil and gas value chain.
“We will be engaging key stakeholders, fostering the development of local content, and strategize on capacity initiatives that will benefit the industry and the broader economy,”Wabote noted.
He earlier confirmed that the first and second editions of NOGOF were hosted in Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa States, respectively while the third was hosted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He also confirmed that the fourth edition is themed: ” The Oil and Gas Industry – Catalyst and Fuel for the Industrialization of Nigeria. ”
Wabote said, “The theme will highlight the critical role of the oil and gas industry in fueling industrialization and overall development of Nigeria’s economy.

“They recognize that the oil and gas industry has the potential to catalyze industrialization and promote economic growth, not just in Nigeria, but across the continent.
“Delegates, partners, and governmental bodies are expected at the fair from different parts of Africa to engage in quality discussion and explore new business opportunities. In doing so, we hope to strategize on capacity initiatives that will benefit the industry and the broader economy.
Wabote however affirmed the commitment of NCDMB to providing information about various opportunities available to the stakeholders in the oil and gas industry, particularly investors.
He also revealed that a compendium of Nigerian Content opportunities in oil and gas industry 2023, have been prepared for all delegates to provide valuable resources that will guide the investigation strategies of interested parties in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.

Adopter Trains Abandoned Puppy in Search and Rescue Work
Pamela + Ena
I volunteered with Pit Road K9 Rescue and Sanctuary for several months but did not want a dog just yet. I had met a few dogs that tempted me, but the timing just didn’t seem right.
"The brindle puppy had a profound effect on her and me."
Then in April 2013 my daughter and I worked a large event for Pit Road. My daughter handled one of the four-month-old puppies that had just arrived at the rescue group. They had been abandoned, were shy and had ribs showing. The brindle puppy had a profound effect on her and me. So, we brought this shy, scared little puppy home.
After a few months of proper nutrition, Ena’s body filled out. She had loads of energy and drive and needed a job to do. I was interested in K9 search and rescue, so I found a group to see if Ena and I could cut it. Early on, bilateral canine cruciate ligament (CCL) tears sidelined her. But she resumed training and currently, Ena has one more state test to take before becoming an operational live find search and rescue dog.
All of this has been a huge change to my life. Even though search and rescue involves volunteers, it’s not a hobby. It’s a job for both dog and handler. What I learn during training and searches is incredible. Being a part of a group of professional volunteers trying to locate and bring a missing loved one home is humbling and very rewarding.
Ena and I train with our search and rescue group every weekend. The trust and communication skills we’ve developed still blows my mind. Ena can work out of my sight, locate a scent, find me and then take me to the scent source. I have no idea what I would have been doing if Ena hadn’t come into my life.
We spend every weekend in the woods, off-trail or navigating by map and compass. We sometimes sleep in tents or hotels and spend lots of time in the car traveling all over the state – all with no complaints. She is my partner. She instigated this new volunteer career for me. I would have missed out on what is now a huge part of my life if not for her. She has taught me a lot.
Did I say mention she is my first dog? What an introduction to dogs!
Each year, the Petco Love invites adopters to share the story of how their adopted pet changed their lives during the annual Holiday Wishes campaign, giving the organization that they adopted from a chance to receive a grant award. This story by Pamela Phillips won Pit Road K9 Rescue and Sanctuary in Williamsburg, Virginia a 2016 Holiday Wishes award. | [

All of us are familiar with artists like Picasso, Monet, or Warhol, and for good reason! They’re masters of their craft, and art collectors are always incredibly eager to get their hands on one of their pieces.
Their artworks are so sought-after that even their reproductions sell for good money!
Although there’s nothing wrong with appreciating the works of the greats, there is something sad about spending money on a reproduction of a dead artist rather than purchasing original artwork from a living one.
There are countless artists that have worked hard, putting all of their experience, expertise, and soul into their pieces, which have a wide range of prices that are sure to be cheaper than an original Picasso print.
Both you and the artist stand to gain a lot more when you support a living artist, as you’ll see below!
1. You Contribute to the Cultural Development of Your Community
Art is all about mental and spiritual nourishment, and personal enjoyment. When many people are involved in the local art scene, it enhances the quality of life in that community.
Although the artworks of world-famous painters are definitely cultural landmarks of the art world, they are now static. Those artists can no longer be prolific in the art space.
If we want to see amazing new art, we have to invest in today’s artists. A surprising number of the greats also lived in poverty and died thinking that their art was not worth much, precisely because their community did not invest in their ideas and skills.
Living artists have a myriad of things to say about culture and society, and you’re sure to find your own philosophy on life reflected back at you through their pieces.
Whether it be social and political movements that are important to you or the celebration of culture and tradition, investing in living artists means investing in the development of society as a whole.
2. You Get a Personalized Piece of Art
The process of commissioning an artist can be very enjoyable. An artist will want to know anything and everything that you have to say about the piece you envision.
The more, the better! And the feeling of receiving the final product – which was made especially for you with care and over many hours – is unmatched!
Many artists will send you pictures of their progress so that you can make any suggestions before the piece is finalized. This ensures that you’ll end up with something you’ll definitely enjoy.
With dead artists, you don’t have the privilege of having a long conversation about what you want, and then having them paint a piece that’s custom-tailored to you.
When you buy from a living artist, that piece is only going to be on your walls and nowhere else. There are countless options for you to play around with.
The Australian visual artist David Hart, who is also the son of Pro Hart puts it best when he says that exploration is the best teacher. So, get out there and look at your options!
With all of the great living artists today, you’re definitely spoiled for choice.
3. You Are Helping the Local Economy
The vast majority of artists can’t rely on selling their art alone.
Between the long time that it takes to finish a single piece of art, the expensive materials, lower their prices so that their works are more likely to sell, and the taxes they pay as small business owners, most artists can’t afford to live off of their work.
Many pick up various jobs to pay their bills.
By buying from living artists, you’re not only making the artist happy by supporting their passion, but you’re investing in your local economy. You may not initially think about this, but that artist is likely going to spend that money within your community.
When you purchase from a living artist, you’re indirectly contributing to the economic growth of your community, neighborhood, and country!
The estates of dead artists continue to generate revenue for them long after they’ve passed on. In actuality, death makes an artist’s works go up in value.
This is partly because that artist won’t be producing works anymore, but a big part of it is that the artist themselves aren’t spending any of that money from beyond the grave.
Artists like Rembrandt and Van Gogh died pennilessly, but their works are worth millions today.
That’s the sad reality of an unfortunate number of famous paintings, but you can do your part to ensure that the great artists of today do not feel unseen and underappreciated. | [

From 'Dirt' to 7 Feet in a Week: Storms Dump White Gold on Tahoe After a mostly dry November, some Tahoe resorts received about 7 feet of fresh powder at their highest elevations in the last 10 days, thanks to two storms that pounded the northern Sierra Nevada before and after Thanksgiving. By Saturday, all the major resorts will be almost fully operational, Allegretto said. Matthew Green KQED | [

From the snow-covered Dolomites to the blue of the Mediterranean; the landscape of Italy is already a favourite for many people. Away from the premium travel destinations, however, rare species such as the Apennine chamois, greater flamingos and basking sharks can be found in natural settings.
Making of David Attenborough’s Galapagos, which is aired first, offers an unrivalled and actually far more interesting view of the dramas that went into capturing all that footage. The way all the shots have been so calmly edited together makes the process look so effortless, but nothing could be further from the truth. There are broken helicopters and broken camera cables that threaten the whole enterprise and the grunting of mating tortoises that threaten to drown out Attenborough’s pieces to camera. This making of programme also includes the discovery of a previously unknown species of pink iguana, as well as the final television appearance of the last-remaining member of another species – the iconic long-necked tortoise known as Lonesome George. “He’s about 80 years old and he’s getting a bit creaky in his joints,” whispers Attenborough. “As indeed am I.”
This instalment examines the earliest land vegetation and insects. The first plants, being devoid of stems, mainly comprised mosses and liverworts. Using both sexual and asexual methods of reproduction, they proliferated. Descended from segmented sea creatures, millipedes were among the first to take advantage of such a habitat and were quickly followed by other species. Without water to carry eggs, bodily contact between the sexes was now necessary. This was problematical for some hunters, such as spiders and scorpions, who developed courtship rituals to ensure that the female didn't eat the male. | [

Australia’s most expensive irrigation scheme has officially opened in Tasmania. Under a national partnership, the Australian Government contributed over $140 Million to the develop a modern irrigation system to provide water to 61 farmers from Tea Tree to Orielton. It is the last of 10 schemes constructed in Tasmania during the first stage of the states billion-dollar irrigation program.
The primary aim of the scheme is to grow the wealth of Tasmania through developing its agricultural industries. This irrigation scheme will assist farmers by sustainably, and affordably supplying water to their livestock and crops. The scheme will provide over 3000 Mega Litres of water to farmers annually, this is equivalent to over 30 billion bottles of milk annually!
The South Eastern Irrigation Scheme will enable the expansion of Tasmanian agriculture, namely in fresh vegetables, grapes, and stone fruit. There has also been an increase in demand of milk and cow biproducts, this scheme will aid the expansion of this industry and lower the risk factor for new cattle farmers.
This project supports the Government’s aim of growing the value of Tasmanian agriculture to $10 Billion by 2050. It will provide a range of benefits through regional development, drought security, and climate change adaption. Overall, the investment will benefit more than 600 landowners directly and will stimulate the Australian economy. | [

Woody landscape plants used in the design of hospital gardens and their sensory effects on users.
Hospital gardens are one of the most important connection points between health and nature. The creation of visually effective plant compositions in hospital gardens is also important in terms of relaxing users and providing socialization. In this study, observation, data collection and evaluation methods were followed. In the scope of the study, a total of 26 hospital gardens Bursa (Osmangazi, Yıldırım, and Nilüfer) including state and private hospitals in the central districts of Bursa were evaluated. The plant diversity in hospital gardens were examined and form, texture, color and odor characteristics, autumn color effects, sensory effects of the identified taxa, and how they were used in hospital gardens were evaluated. It has been determined that the hospital gardens had a rich plant diversity with 95 woody plant taxa, and 47.37% of the identified plants were natural and 52.63% were exotic species and the gardens were insufficient in terms of planting design. In the hospital gardens, green colors, which gave a sense of tranquility and confidence, were determined to be dominant (81.05%). State hospitals were found to be more successful in terms of plant diversity than private hospitals. In the design of hospital gardens, blue, pink and yellow plant species that make people feel a sense of eternity, desire of living, vitality and love should be included. | [

What's the story?
This Friday sees the release of the long-awaited movie adaptation of HG Well’s The Invisible Man. Starring Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale), Universal Pictures’ interpretation of the 1897 sci-fi classic is giving an old tale a fresh feel: it’s an R-rated horror with a female focus.
What's the book?
A mysterious stranger arrives at a country inn during a fierce snowstorm. His face is wrapped in bandages, his eyes are hidden by dark glasses and he is wearing gloves… even indoors. At first locals assume he is the victim of a terrible accident. But soon, strange things begin to occur about the village.
H.G. Wells – the godfather of modern-day science fiction – wrote The Invisible Man in 1897. Yet its themes of greed, madness and science’s power to corrupt feel as pertinent now as they did then.
The story follows Griffin, a scientist who invents a serum that can alter the human body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light, turning him invisible. But, as he grows drunk on his new power, greed takes hold, then murder, followed by a bitter madness. It is a thrilling read that deserves its reputation as one of the greatest sci-fi horrors ever written.
In 1913, the eccentric Soviet physicist Yakov I Perelman pointed out in Physics for Entertainment that if HG Wells had followed the rules of physics, the Invisible Man would be blind, because the human eye works by absorbing light, not allowing it to pass straight through. | [

When a freight train derailed and exploded earlier this year it killed close to 50 people and obliterated the center of a small Canadian town, now Canadian safety officials reveal that the train's cargo was mislabeled.
According to Canadian Transportation Safety Board (TSB) officials the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train was carrying North Dakota crude oil but the cargo was labeled a less flammable "Group 3″ flammable liquid rather than being listed as "Group 2," Canadian transportation safety board's chief investigator, Donald Ross, told CBC.
The explosion occurred in Lac-Megantic, Quebec and killed 47 people back in July. Lac-Megantic is near the border of Maine and the explosion wiped out downtown Lac-Megantic.
Ross said the oil was as dangerous as gasoline and tests showed the oil was incorrectly documented.
Ross also said that even though the train was operated by an American company, it was the responsibility of the New Brunswick Irving Oil Co. in Canada to label the imported goods.
The Federal Railroad Administration and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration responded in a statement that they are looking into any misclassifications of crude oil shipments. The statement also said, "Shippers and rail carriers found to be out of compliance with hazardous materials regulations could be fined or placed out of service."
Because crude oil safety regulations and transportation differ for each type of oil, the Canadian TSB sent safety advisory letters to Transport Canada and the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
Canadian Transport Minister Lisa Raitt has advised the Transport Canada officials to act quickly on examining the board's safety advisory. Raitt said, "If a company does not properly classify its goods, they can be prosecuted under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act." | [

Nearly two years ago, the government of Ecuador changed the laws regarding multi-day hikes. Because so many people were getting lost or dying, all hikes in the national parks now require a certified guide. Peru has a similar law, although it doesn’t police it as stringently as Ecuador does. And at US$50-80 a day for a guide, my dreams of doing a multi-day hike in Ecuador came to a screaming holt.
My companion and I caught a bus to Riobamba, a city six hours south of Quito and set about finding a hike we could do without a guide. After some investigation we found one – El Altar – an overnight hike into an area of mountains only policed one day a week.
We were up early and waiting for the taxi. A crazy drive through the mountains followed to Hacienda Releche, the ‘trail head’ of the hike. We met the owners of the hacienda who quoted us 5-6 hours to their lodge in the mountains and at $12 per person per night it’s far cheaper than a guide.
We began climbing along a dirt track following a gully. On either side was a thin line of trees and beyond were fields; one containing rows of flowers, the other grazing cows.
For the first two hours of the walk the trail climbed steeply up the side of the hill with the occasional short area of boggy mud. While the skies were cloudy there was no rain. A look back along the valley gave great views of the surrounding hills. By the deep green of the hills, I’d suggest it rains here fairly regularly.
As we continued climbing, the trail grew less steep, but the mud increased dramatically. As the easiest way to get to the lodge is by horseback, this churns up the mud. In many places, it was difficult to pass without squelching our way through. Luckily, waterproof leather hiking boots have no issues with mud and we waded our way through, trying to fall over as little as possible. This is only a problem if the mud is soggy and wet, which for the most part it wasn’t.
We stopped for a late lunch with a view of a road across the valley, before marching on. As the afternoon wore on, the rain began, and we decided to rest out of the rain for a bit, so following a short path we found a pair of large pine trees as shelter.
While we were waiting, we heard hooves on the track. I went to have a look in the rain and discovered around ten large horned, cows trampling along the trail. When they saw me they stared for a few moments before bolting back up the trail. A few minutes later, we heard hooves again, this time it was a group of riders leading the cows. Two of the cows had climbed the bank and charged through the area where we were sheltering, scaring the wits out of my companion.
By this stage, we’d already walked 5-6 hours with no sign of the lodge. We continued on, crossing through gullies and the occasional stream. As darkness began to fall, we still hadn’t found the lodge and my companion began making suggestions of roughing it, as we didn’t have a tent with us. So under the light of our head torches we kept an eye out for sheltered spots but continued walking.
An hour and a half after dark we rounded a hill and could just make out buildings ahead in the vague moonlight. We reached the buildings and found the first one open. It was a dorm room with bunk beds and a bathroom. We dropped our packs and investigated the other four buildings. Two were locked dorms while the others were dining areas with kitchens and fireplaces. We found a bunch of candles and set up our room, cooked some dinner and collapsed into our sleeping bags.
The next day we were up and after breakfast, we cleaned up the room, packed our bags and stowed them away in a hidden room off one of the kitchens. We then headed out across a stretch of soggy, rocky ground towards The Altar, a collapsed volcano surrounded by peaks. The valley is at about 4000m above seas level, and even with a slight grade crossing it was a struggle because of the altitude.
At the far side was a tough climb up the valley wall. While the sky was cloudy and mist covered many of the mountains, we could just make out a snowy peak above us as we climbed. My younger companion raced ahead while I struggled with the altitude, even without a pack. During one of our regular breaks, we discovered another pair of guys close behind us. This pushed us on and eventually we came over the ridge to see the large crater lake and the bottom of the mountains surrounding it. El Altar.
We waited up there for almost two hours, watching as the clouds came and went. | [

F-89 Scorpion, A Quick Primer: The Northrop F-89 Scorpion was a fighter-interceptor airplane that holds several firsts for the United States. The twin-engined jet, designed from the outset as an interceptor airplane for the U.S. Air Defense Command, entered service in July 1950, near the beginning of the Cold War.
It came at a time of great tension between the United States and the Soviet Union: as an interceptor airplane, its goal was to use high speed to intercept any heavy strategic bombers sent by the Soviet Union to bomb the United States.
F-89 Scorpion, a History
To that end, it was outfitted with dual Allison J35-A-35A Turbojet engines that produced 5,600 pounds of thrust each, which jumped up to 7,400 pounds of thrust with afterburner — at the time, a respectable amount of thrust for a small airplane. Top speed 465 miles per hour.
The little plane was known as the Scorpion by its developers, on account of its high rear tail assembly and wingtip fuel pods, which gave the aircraft the appearance of a scorpion ready to strike. The name eventually stuck, and was even adopted by the U.S. Air Force.
Northrop outfitted the airplane with two ejection seats for both the pilot as well as the radar operator. During flight, the radarman, seated at the rear, would direct the pilot towards whatever targets appeared on his radar screen, with the pilot and ranking officer responsible for ultimately shooting down whatever they flew against.
Although the Scorpion was outfitted with two jet engines, the airframe retained the straight wings which were more typical of older propeller airplanes. This design choice hindered top speed, which could have been improved with more aerodynamic swept wings — however straight wings were seen as a necessary compromise, as this wing style was strong and stiff enough to be outfitted with wingtip fuel pods and afforded the Scorpion better range.
In 1949, the Soviet Union produced their first atomic bomb; combined with a Tupolev Tu-4 strategic bomber — essentially a reverse-engineered B-29 Superfortress — and U.S. Air Defense Command was legitimately concerned. In order to better respond to the threat posed by Soviet airpower, the Scorpion was outfitted with guided air-to-air missiles, a first for the United States.
Additionally, the F-89 was the first airplane to be equipped with the Air-2A Genie, an unguided, nuclear-tipped and air-launched rocket intended for use against enemy bomber formations. Given the enormous blast radius of the missile, it was decided to not to outfit it with any kind of guidance system. The missile, tested only once, was in service nearly until the end of the Cold War when it was retired in 1985.
In total, Northrop produced over 1,000 of the powerful little airplanes, of several different variants. The last of these were retired in 1969, when the Air National Guard finally divested themselves of the airplane. Although not the fastest, most high-performance fighter, the F-89 Scorpion was — when outfitted with the atomic Genie missile — nothing to sneeze at.

Movie: Balls of Fury (2007)
Director: Robert Ben Garant
Starring: Dan Fogler, Christopher Walken, James Hong
Written by: Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon
You might think that Christopher Walken would be the show-stealer in this tale of ping-pong glory. You’d be wrong. As a Fu Manchu wannabe gangster, Walken certainly tears up any scene he appears in. The absurdity of seeing him dressed in all manner of formal Chinese attire is as hilarious as it is weird. Yet there are three characters in Balls of Fury who upstage him.
The first is a jacked-up German with a perfect blond flat-top and spandex battle gear who serves as the hero’s ping-pong nemesis. Played by Thomas Lennon (Reno 911’s Lieutenant Dangle), Karl Wolfschtagg storms through the film, ready to throw down on anyone in his way. Lennon’s wide-eyed intensity is kind of awesome.
The second is Diedrich Bader, who portrays a tank-topped concubine in Walken’s man-harem. Sent to the hero’s bedchambers, he has to spend the night or die. Undeterred, the hero and the man-whore have a rockin’ night playing Boggle and hanging out. Bader plays his character with a delightfully dimwitted optimism that I’m sure is absent from most male prostitutes.
Yet the best performance in Balls of Fury is that of James Hong, who once more serves admirably as the token dirty old Asian. Best known for his role as the crazy old wizard Lo Pan of Big Trouble in Little China, Hong turned “Indeed!” into a cult classic password. Hong’s role in Balls of Fury mixes Lo Pan’s fixation on honor with the more earthly creepiness of his role in Revenge of the Nerds II and his ambiguously gay persona in Totally Awesome! As Walken’ blind former mentor, Hong reluctantly takes on his round-eye protégé to obtain satisfaction. He plays this role with such an imperious witlessness that he is a joy to watch.
Considering all this, the fun in Balls of Fury becomes less about the story itself and instead in watching the crackpot characters which populate it. Indeed, the main characters are often less compelling than the supporting cast. As hero Randy Daytona, Dan Fogler – who seems to be getting typecast as a Belushi-via-Jack Black – pretty much autopilots on the wildman schtick he improved upon as a Star Wars geek in Fanboys. In total, he’s more fun than George Lopez’s FBI straight man, but Lopez commits an act of desperation in the film which boosts his character past the hero.
The concept of Balls of Fury is ludicrous, but that works in its favor. You might think that an epic comedy about ping-pong wouldn’t work out. You’d be wrong. | [

<p><b>Abstract</b>—Dynamic programming is a general technique for solving optimization problems. It is based on the division of problems into simpler subproblems that can be computed separately. In this paper, we show that Datalog with aggregates and other nonmonotonic constructs can express classical dynamic programming optimization problems in a natural fashion, and then we discuss the important classes of queries and applications that benefit from these techniques.</p>

Oklahoma’s STACK play continues to be a big producer for Oklahoma City’s Continental Resources Co.
This week, the company reported a well with nearly 2,500 barrels of oil production a day in Blaine County. Located at 6 16N 11W, the Blondie 1-6-7-18xhm well had production of 2,463 barrels of oil a day along with 5,606 Mcf of natural gas.
The well is located about 4 miles straight north of Watonga next to state highway 8. A completion report on file with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission showed the well had a November 2018 spud date and drilling finished in January 2019 with completion made in April.
The drillers used 570,182 bbls of fluid and 29,379,830 pounds of sand to complete the well. | [

Symbolism of three short stories Coming of age signifies a growth in a person's identity. It is the time when adolescents experience a pivotal moment that will shape their character and lead to a realization of who they really are. The three stories that illustrate both concepts are Greasy Lake by T. Coraghessan, Where Are You Going Where Have You Been by Joyce Carol Oates and A & P by John Updike. A & P is about a coming of age for Sammy. Though it takes place over the period of a few hours, it represents a much larger process of maturation. Greasy lake is about three young men on the road to maturity, and along the way they make a number of mistakes and must suffer the consequences. On the other hand, the author Joyce Carol Oates talks about a young woman who is also on the road to maturity but focuses on self-discovery. In all three short stories, which deal with coming of age and discovering self-identify, the reader must go through a revelatory experience including obstacles that shape the characters’ future behavior. From the beginning of Greasy Lake, the narrator gives a glimpse of symbols of what he and his friends are like during that night. They wear leather jackets and have toothpicks in their mouths. They sniffed coke, which is not exactly a cheap drug on the market. The assumption can be drawn that they are privileged living in an area of wealth, where not much occurs because that day they were bored most of the time. The car they drove to Greasy Lake was an old station wagon, which without a doubt is not the “ride” of a true tough-guy. Soon as the boys arrive at the Greasy Lake, a “chopper” is parked on the shore, and next to it is a 57 Chevy (Boyle 190). Hendricks 2 Both of the vehicles are like race cars that imply a greasy image. The Chevy owner is a tough muscular character. The biker, whom is regarded as a bad older character, is said to be dangerous. The vehicles are a representation of the individuals who drive them. Another symbol of danger the young men face is Greasy Lake itself. The lake is described as being "fetid and murky, the mud banks glittering with broken glass and strewn with beer cans" (Boyle 189). It is a sign that nothing good lies within. Several times throughout the story, Boyle refers to not only the main characters as being greasy, but also describes a variety of other people in the same way. This ties the lake and the greasy characters together. It is ironic that not only is the lake named Greasy Lake, but the individuals who hang out there are also referred to as being greasy characters as well. This led to violent subsequent events later on in the story, as the narrator gets chased and beaten up, and during these events, the narrator realizes he was indeed a bad kid, but learns through the tough way that there are even worse people in this world. In the story “A & P,” Sammy gives a glimpse of symbols of maturation. From the time the girls enter the grocery store, to the moment they leave, there are many changes in Sammy. At first, he sees only the physicality of the girls: how they look and what they are wearing, seem to be his only observations. As the story progresses, he notices the interactions between the girls, and he even determines the hierarchy of the small dynamic. He observes their actions and how they affect the other patrons of the business. Rather, how the other people view the girls’ actions. His thought process is maturing and he starts to see things as an adult might see them. He notices that the "regulars" seem to do the same things day in and day out (Updike 142). Following the same path and directions through the aisles, they check off their lists and go about their searching. This realization is why the group of girls is so refreshing to him. They are Hendricks 3 different and do not seem to follow any set path. After seeing this, he starts to feel bad about the way the girls are being viewed by others. He no longer wants to be part of something that discourages uniqueness. This is further supported in the checkout scene, when he makes the comment about the policy and how it is what the "kingpins" want (Updike 144). It is not something that he believes in, nor does he want to enforce. Sammy starts to feel, for the first time, that there is something out there that is better. When he decides to quit his job, hastily as it may be, he is making the choice to be an individual, to venture into the unknown. It is something that he knows he has to do, so he does have some hesitation in "removing the apron" (Updike 144). Once it has been removed, he knows that he cannot put it | [

Congressional Corral: Have Arizona Republicans “Herd” the News? Arizona is the Next Abortion Battleground
ARIZONA- We have a lot of news to share with you, so let’s saddle right in! It’s Friday, so here’s a round up (corral) of what our Arizona Republicans are up to:
- Rep. David Schweikert (AZ-01): This week, the Wall Street Journal declared that “Arizona is the next Abortion Battleground” and called Rep. Schweikert “[…] one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country in part because of his anti-abortion stance.” Voters will remember that “Schweikert co-sponsored a bill before Roe was overturned that in effect would have banned abortions nationwide.”
- Rep. Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06): Similar attacks were lodged at Rep. Ciscomani this week, with Cronkite News noting that Ciscomani and Schweikert’s tight races are going to be determined by turnout- and with abortion being on the ballot, their extreme stances are going to be a motivator for Democrats and Independents, who are resoundingly pro-choice: “Ciscomani cosponsored H.R. 7, which would prohibit the use of federal funding for abortions, while Schweikert has voted to ban access to mifepristone, a widely used abortion medication.“
- Rep. Eli Crane (AZ-02): A constituent has a career change idea for Rep. Crane! In a LTE, a AZ-02 resident writes: “Am I the only one that is totally confused (but not surprised) that our representative Eli Crane calls the deadly conflict involving the Russian invasion of Ukraine, “a land dispute in Eastern Europe”?! Gosh, he should be teaching history. Think how easy (and intellectually lazy) stating that WW I and WW II were ‘land disputes in Europe’. Great grasp of intricate, complicated issues Rep. Crane.“
- Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-05): Rep. Andy Biggs is laser-focused on delivering results for Arizonans, which is why this week…he called for contempt charges against Eric Swalwell? In a Fox News exclusive, Andy Biggs told the outlet that he thinks Eric Swalwell should be charged with content for skipping the deposition of Hunter Biden. If we could list issues important to Arizonans, it would definitely go: Contempt charges for Eric Swalwell, good-paying union jobs, and protecting Arizonans’s water future.
- Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ-09): This week in an Arizona Republic opinion piece, writer EJ Montini outlines Paul Gosar’s long and cozy relationship with White Nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Canvas can mean various things to different individuals. In the context of painting, the term ‘canvas’ means fabric. The difference is that the canvas is made of times and cotton fibers from linen fibers. Each material is well worth looking at in more detail.
Cotton is a soft fiber that grows in a protective or ball capsule. The plant is native to Africa, the Americas, and India and is spun into ribbon or yarn to make a soft cloth – the odds are you’re currently wearing some cotton at the moment.
Cotton as an artist’s advantage is it stretches and that it’s affordable. A cotton canvas that is prepared is the surface for acrylic and oil painting and will last quite a long time for students, though it’s considered flexible for cheap canvas art. It’s categorized according to surface texture and its weight.
Cotton comes out on top when it comes to tightness. It’s likely without straining the support around the canvas, to stretch cotton tighter, and cotton can compensate for its lack of weight and strength.
What is a Giclée?
Giclée (“zhee-clay”) is a French phrase meaning “that which is sprayed or squirted.” A format printer sprays on many drops of ink per inch on paper or canvas. Printing produces high-quality images that are large with crisp contrasts, velvety colors, and information.
- This method of printing is used using inks.
- Artists and photographers can create artwork on-demand.
- High-resolution images could be replicated in a variety of sizes (up to 54″ in diameter) and on various mediums.
Laminate is a fine art paper print and hand applies an on top of the picture. The gel coat is a finish that’s used enhance the colors, and to protects the artwork. It’s easy to clean, using a feather duster or cloth.

Six people were in a critical condition and over 200 injured in the head-on collision between two light rail trains (LRT) on Monday night, making it the first major crash for the 23-year-old metro system in Malaysia.
According to local news reports, the collision took place in Kuala Lumpur on Monday around 8.45pm between a train on a test run with only the driver and the other carrying 213 passengers. The accident took place in a tunnel near the Petronas Towers – the world’s tallest twin structures.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that “driver negligence” was the cause of the accident, Malaysian transport minister Wee Ka Siong was quoted as saying by English-language news channel CNA on Tuesday.
Pictures shared on social media following the incident showed bloodied passengers, including some on the floor of a carriage that had shattered glass. They also showed emergency responders attending to those seriously injured and carrying them out on stretchers.
Mr Siong told local media that “one carriage was travelling at 20kph and another at around 40kph when the collision happened. This caused a significant jolt that threw some passengers out of their seats.”
According to the Malay Mail, 64 people were hospitalised, six of whom are critically injured.
Passengers were left in shock after many of them were thrown to the floor due to the impact of the collision, according to reports.
Afiq Luqman Mohamad Baharudin, 27, told Bernama news agency: “We had only moved for a few seconds when the crash happened and the impact was so strong that I suffered injuries to my head, left leg and chest.”
Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin pledged a full investigation into the incident while police said they suspected a miscommunication from the trains’ operation control centre. The vacant vehicle had a driver while the train with passengers was fully automated and controlled by the operation centre.
The collision affected operations on one of the three light rail lines connecting Kuala Lumpur and surrounding suburbs.
Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, a government-owned company that owns the metro system ferrying over 350,000 passengers daily, claimed train services resumed on Tuesday morning but some social media users claimed that normal train services were impacted due to the incident.

Immigration reform on the move
Asking for ID is not profiling
In response to a column in Saturday’s Times about profiling by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, combined with the U.S. Supreme Court deliberating the legality of Arizona’s immigration law, we should look at a better solution. [“Immigration reform on the move,” Opinion, April 28.]
It should not be against the law for an officer to ask for proof of citizenship during a routine traffic stop. This proof of citizenship should not be restricted to a passport, birth certificate, etc., but rather it should be a driver’s license or ID card that is issued to the person by the U.S. and/or states that have verified citizenship of the bearer.
The U.S. Border Patrol should not be entitled to set up random road blocks to check for illegal immigrants without cause either. It seems simple to me: Either you use a government-certified proof of citizenship or risk deportation. End of discussion. Simply verifying a person’s identity and legal status during a traffic stop is not profiling! It is upholding the laws of our country.

Water (H2O), in all forms, is an important constituent in planetary bodies, controlling habitability and influencing geological activity. Under conditions found in the interior of many planets, as the pressure increases, the H-bonds in water gradually weaken and are replaced by ionic bonds. Recent experimental measurements of the water equation of state (EOS) showed both a new phase of H-bonded water ice, ice-VIIt, and a relatively low transition pressure just above 30 GPa to ionic bonded ice-X, which has a bulk modulus 2.5 times larger. The higher bulk modulus of ice-X produces larger planets for a given mass, thereby either reducing the atmospheric contribution to the volume of many exoplanets or limiting their water content. We investigate the impact of the new EOS measurements on the planetary mass–radius relation and interior structure for water-rich planets. We find that the change in the planet mass–radius relation caused by the systematic differences between previous and new experimental EOS measurements is comparable to the observational uncertainties in some planet sizes – an issue that will become more important as observations continue to improve.

Dear Campus Community,
We are pleased to announce the Berkeley Financial System (BFS) and other ancillary systems that interact with BFS will be back online for the opening of business tomorrow morning. Last week, BFS had been taken offline as we investigated a potential security risk to a portion of the system. Our teams will continue to research the issue over the next few days to understand what steps we can take to mitigate these types of risks going forward. Collectively, we must remain diligent in our information security efforts as these attacks continue to get more sophisticated.
We appreciate your patience as we worked through this difficult issue and we want to extend a sincere thank you to all of the staff across multiple campus units whose hard work, dedication, and collaboration in this effort led us to a successful return to business as usual.
If you experience any other technical issues, please direct questions to the IT support team in your unit or the BFS/BAIRS help desk at 510-664-9000 (Option 1, then 2).

The Anderton Baronetcy, of Lostock in the County of Lancaster, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 8 October 1677 for Francis Anderton of Lostock Hall in the parish of Bolton le Moors, Lancashire. The Andertons of Lostock were descended from the ancient family of Euxton Hall, near Chorley, Lancashire. They acquired Lostock by marriage in the 13th century. They were a devout Roman Catholic family and their estate was lost by sequestration in 1615 due to recusancy but was restored after the English Reformation to Francis Anderton the first Baronet. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth Baronets were brothers. On the death of the third Baronet, his heir, his brother Lawrence, a Benedictine monk succeeded to the Baronetcy but relinquished his claim to the Lostock estate. However his younger brother Francis, a Jacobite, was convicted of High Treason for his part in the Battle of Preston (1715) and the estate was again lost by sequestration. Lawrence returned from France, renounced his Catholicism and successfully reclaimed the estate. Francis was pardoned and on his death succeeded to the Baronetcy but he did not recover the estate which passed to his sister and her husband. The Baronetcy became extinct on the death of Sir Francis in 1760.
Anderton baronets, of Lostock (1677)
- Sir Francis Anderton, 1st Baronet (c. 1628–1678)
- Sir Charles Anderton, 2nd Baronet (1657–1691)
- Sir Charles Anderton, 3rd Baronet (1677-1705)
- Sir James Anderton, 4th Baronet (1678-1710)

A few years ago, we started this latest EP for those who like our music. This latest compilation is made up mostly of “Hymns From My Youth” and is entitled “I Love To Tell The Story”. I have been publishing the songs as I have them completed here on my website, but I will have a final edited and mastered CD / EP printed when I am done with all the songs. I decided to add a song that Don Hightower – a friend of mine – and I wrote a few years back titled “His Everlasting Love”. It’s a fun song that gets your motor goin’! I’ll save that for last.
But for now, I have added the song “The Old Rugged Cross” written by George Bennard in 1912 and published the next year. There is a great deal of information on the backstory of this song on the music page of this site. I added a little guitar interlude and created a bridge that goes well with the song. I hope you will like this version..

The exterior has a four-bulb foglamp design, tow hooks, a skid plate, rectangular headlights that are integrated with the grille, and raised roof rails. Inside, the three-row cabin boasts a large cargo space, high-end materials, and four display screens across the dashboard. Additional interior features are a navigation system, wireless smartphone connectivity, a UConnect 5 system, a multi-zone auto climate control system, and a superior sound system and other equipment.
From a performance perspective, the 2022 Wagoneer is a beast. With best-in-class ratings for off-road capabilities and for towing, it will not disappoint you regardless of the driving conditions you are faced with.

Under the hood, you will find a 392-horsepower, 5.7-liter, V8 engine with mild-hybrid functionality. The engine design is combined with an auto start-stop function to support excellent fuel economy. At the same time, the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer can tow up to 10,000 pounds, and this is substantially higher than what the competition can deliver.

Dayton predicts new Minnesota program will add 5,000 jobs

Today we woke up early and headed to the dining hall for our first meal at the Ranch: a delicious breakfast of grits, sausage, and cinnamon rolls. All the meat served here is also raised here, and many of the fruits and vegetables served in the dining hall are grown at the Ranch as well. Food scraps are recycled into compost for the fields where we’ll be working this week, and they are also weighed to encourage groups to waste less food each day — so the entire experience of a meal here helps us to think about issues of sustainability, health, food waste, and more.
After breakfast, our group walked across the Ranch to a special building where they lead team-building exercises. As we played games and worked our way through various challenges we also learned more about the values and core principles of Heifer International.
The afternoon brought a special food class called “Just Dough It” in which our team made pizza from scratch. They ground wheat and made their own crust, crushed tomatoes and picked herbs for homemade sauce, and milked a goat to make goat cheese. Then, while the pizzas baked, we learned about the differences between industrial agriculture and local small-scale agriculture, the benefits of CSAs, and other issues affecting our food supply chain in the US and abroad. The lessons were powerful and the pizza was delicious!
After dinner tonight we stayed in our cabin for some much needed downtime. We watched a movie, played games, snacked, and laughed before heading to bed early. Tomorrow will be a big day (and a hot day), so we need our rest. We’ll check in again tomorrow! | [

Nick Foligno gets sucker punched by Steven Stamkos
— FOX Sports Ohio (@FOXSportsOH) April 15, 2019
- Not only the Lightning are losing in the series… But they are also losing their minds over the Jackets.
- Last night during a scrum, Steven Stamkos delivered a cheap sucker punch to the Jackets captain while the refs were still restraining him.
“I’ll never forget that one.”
“I’d just like to think he has a little more respect, but it’s playoff hockey too. I can’t expect it not to happen in a scrum. Next time I’ll just make sure to throw the first punch.”
- Foligno would, without a doubt, destroy Stamkos in a fight.
- Will he get his revenge.
- This is playoff hockey, after all.
- The Lightning will have their backs against their wall in the next game, and reality has come crashing down after they soared through the regular season.

By Nathanial Matthews, Program Director, Global Resilience Partnership; and Deon Nel, CEO, Global Resilience Partnership
Haiyan, Mangkhut, Yutu.
Asia is one of the regions most affected by natural disasters, like the super typhoons named above. An estimated 40% of global losses due to disasters will occur on the continent in the years to come.
Disasters come in many forms, from quick onset cyclones and earthquakes to slower onset and recurrent disasters such as drought and persistent flooding. These disasters claim lives and have lasting negative cascading effects on livelihoods, education, health and economic opportunities.
Disasters in Southeast Asia caused 61% of new displacements in 2017. In developing countries, it is estimated that the agricultural sector absorbs an average of 22% of the damage from natural disasters. Climate change is projected to amplify natural disasters and sea level rises will increase flooding and storm surges, especially amongst coastal communities.
Image: United Nations - ESCAP report: Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2017 - Leave No One Behind
Building disaster resilience is central to the achievement of the SDGs and a core objective of the Global Resilience Partnership (GRP). We have learned that developing disaster resilience requires innovation, systems thinking and agile partnerships. We need to move beyond a traditional focus on post-disaster repair, and look instead to building the resilience of communities to persist, adapt, and even thrive in the face of risk and change.
This is no small feat, but it can be done. GRP has invested millions of dollars with its partners to develop new approaches to disaster resilience amongst the poor and most vulnerable. We have been working with partners across Southeast Asia, who are testing bold methods of achieving this aim. As their projects come to a close this autumn, we ask: what worked? Here are some examples of what we have learnt.
1. Social media is the future of early warning systems
Semarang in Indonesia is no stranger to flooding and landslides. Mercy Corps has been working to reduce this risk. The team identified that many of the problems causing flooding in the Semarang City originated in Semarang Regency, which is governed separately. They established a “transboundary watershed forum,” to find flood risk reduction measures that would benefit both areas. A popular local social media tool called AtmaGo has helped residents in both communities share early warning information on flooding. Used across Indonesia, it is estimated that in Jakarta this app could reduce property damage during a disaster by US $324 per household per year for residents. It has also helped residents report littering, which is a major cause of flooding in the region.
2. Uniting governments within governments is key
When Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines in 2014, ONE Architecture saw this as an opportunity to begin work designing a coastal greenbelt that could act as a buffer to future extreme weather events. They identified the right species of mangrove that has a higher than 90% chance of surviving a storm. Despite having funding from the GRP and the right scientific knowledge, the team found this was not enough to put their plans into action. Complicated governance structures that involved local, provincial, regional and national actors were hampering the restoration efforts. Rather than searching for alternative sites to pilot the program, ONE Architecture worked through this challenge. This resulted in signing a first of its kind Memorandum of Understanding between a local and national agency that is now paving the way for real change.
3. Women can drive disaster risk reduction efforts
Women in Southeast Asia are especially vulnerable to floods. Their livelihoods often directly depend on natural resources, and they are often responsible for taking care of children, the elderly and infirm. According to research from the University of Potsdam, women are both more likely to suffer from a flood event, and will take longer to recover. That is why their project in Thua Thien Hue in Vietnam puts women at the forefront of disaster risk reduction efforts. Their ecosystem-based approach, which includes restoring traditional water bodies and mangrove forests, has empowered hundreds of women, engaged in farming, fishing and running small businesses in the area, to take action to protect the surroundings they rely on, thereby building resilience for the community and themselves.
These projects demonstrate new approaches for a new era of uncertainty. They show the need to empower local communities, especially women, to take charge. They show the need to educate all involved on what the challenges are, and why they exist. They also show that when you fail, if you fail smart and work through the problem, you can change the status quo.
Leading up to the UN Secretary General’s Summit in 2019, GRP will be working with its partners and key stakeholders to co-develop a new agenda for building resilience at the intersection of peace and security, disaster risk reduction, and water and food security amongst the most vulnerable people and places. | [

Reader’s GuideA Little of Grace by Phoebe FoxDiscussion Guide
1. Do you believe in “the one” or do you think you can find love with more than one person throughout your life?
2. In what ways did Grace transform during her time in Florida?
3. What do you think would’ve happened if Grace’s mom had sent the other letter to Millie?
4. Everyone struggles to be true to themselves through all stages of life. Can you think of a particular time in your life when you struggled? How did you work through it?
5. Do you think there are things that are truly unforgivable, even when it comes to family and loved ones? If so, what are some examples?
6. How do you deal with anger? Can rage ever be a force for good? How?
7. Do you think Millie’s life would have been different if Grace’s mom had fully accepted her and they’d stayed close? How?
8. Were Grace and Brian “right” for each other, or do you think he married her as a rebound, or a “safe” choice after heartbreak? What does either answer imply about their marriage as well as their divorce?
9. Do you agree with Grace that a friendship you may have had with an ex needs a period of dormancy after a breakup? Can you ever truly recapture the same level of friendship with someone you had a relationship with after the romance is over?
10. Grace’s father would criticize Grace off handedly when she was growing up. Did anyone ever say something thoughtless or critical to you that stayed with you and had a deep effect on your behavior or actions? Were you ever able to recognize and let go of the misbelief that created in you? | [

Football Federation Australia has warned Australia's place in Asian football is not guaranteed – and there are powerful forces lined up against it.
"Maybe a 48-team World Cup starts to change that dialogue," said Nikou. "Because then there are more spots for AFC countries and Australia is not seen as taking a spot that would otherwise go to a Gulf state."
Diplomatic skills will need to be at their peak in the FFA's bid to host the 2023 Women's World Cup, with rival bids expected from Colombia and South Africa, as well as potentially two more from AFC's Japan and a possible joint Korea bid.
For the Australian bid to stand a good chance of success, it will need to be the AFC's preferred bid over the two local rivals.
But that leaves the FFA facing a tricky choice in the upcoming AFC elections which sees a three-way ballot for the presidency between candidates from Bahrain, Qatar and UAE.
The current President, Sheikh Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa, came under fire for not helping Australian footballer Hakeem Al-Araibi when he was imprisoned in Thailand while Bahrain demanded his deportation.
The FFA will need to decide whether to back the incumbent president, or the candidate from Qatar, which is currently isolated by all the other Gulf states, or risk backing the UAE rival to Bahrain and facing a backlash if he loses.
So far the board has yet to make up its mind on how it will vote.
"I haven't spoken to the board about this," admitted Nikou. "But I understand the concern.
"History tells us that this is very fluid. This thing is going to move is my guess. We'll make a call closer to the day."
He warned the future of Australia's 2023 World Cup bid will depend on the AFC's backing.
"My reaction is always one of practicality," he admitted.
"If I get the feeling the reality is, pardon the expression, that we are pushing shit uphill then I'll say, 'Sorry guys, let's position ourselves for subsequent bids.'
"I'm not going to waste time and money and burn capital we don't have. Everyone tells me it would great to have the World Cup in Australia but we have got to be realistic." | [

Lynn Swan Leads Rendell in Pennsylvania Governor's Race, that is until independent candidate is included
All four of polls on this race conducted in 2006 have found the candidates within three points of each other. Swann has ranged from 41% of the vote to 45% in the four polls, Rendell from 41% to 46%.
However, Russ Diamond has said he will enter the race as an Independent. Diamond last year formed an organization to oppose a pay raise for state legislators (the pay raise signed by Rendell has since been repealed). He must get 67,000 valid signatures on a petition by August 1 to qualify for the November ballot.
Diamond attracts 16% of the vote if he is included in the poll at this time. Third party candidates often receive more support in early polls than they will actually receive on election day. However, the impact of Diamond's inclusion in the poll is dramatic--the overall poll results switches from a 3-point Swann lead to a 4-point Rendell lead..... | [

Reduction of Water Content in Biodegradable and Other Hydraulic Fluids 981497
While the oxidation stability of environmentally friendly hydraulic fluids has been markedly improved, the controllability of hydrolysis is still poor. A research project IFAS has taken up this problem. The aim was to prevent the water entry and to diminish the water content of hydraulic fluids by changes in reservoir design and separation devices. An essential point of interest was the development of low-cost solutions suitable for the refit of existing mobile machines.
The ability to separate water is primarily determined by its degree of solubility in the respective fluid. The only method that will keep the water content in a hydraulic fluid far below its saturation point is vaporization into the surrounding atmosphere. An attractive application of this principle is the separation within the reservoir. The heat of the oil vaporizes the water, transporting it into the gas phase which may then be removed by exchange with the outside air.
The solutions developed in this project can be adapted to the conditions in the respective applications. By combination of single solutions both project aims can be joined. Thereby, a valuable contribution has been given to the safe operation of all types of hydraulic fluids. | [

Tecnica Demon 120 Scarponi
Tecnica is doing away with old clichés: high-performance ski boots can also be comfortable and easy-to-wear! The trick: a 2mm wider last-width than Tecnica’s classic racing models guarantees a comfortable wearing-experience at 100mm without sacrificing performance. The combination of a 120 flex, i-Rebound and Power Chassis technology bring racing-boot qualities, extremely-high torsional rigidity and thus perfect power transmission to this boot. The new Ultrafit Pro liner guarantees a high level of comfort and a perfect fit. | [

In ways not seen since the Gilded Age of the late nineteenth century, America is becoming a nation of increasingly sharply divided classes. Joel Kotkin’s The New Class Conflict breaks down these new divisions for the first time, focusing on the ascendency of two classes: the tech Oligarchy, based in Silicon Valley; and the Clerisy, which includes much of the nation’s policy, media, and academic elites.
The Proleterianization of the Middle Class
From early in its history, the United States rested on the notion of a large class of small proprietors and owners. “The small landholders,” Jefferson wrote to his fellow Virginian James Madison, “are the most precious part of a state.” To both Jefferson and Madison, both the widespread dispersion of property and limits on its concentration—“the possession of different degrees and kinds of property”—were necessary in a functioning republic.
Jefferson, admitting that the “equal division of property” was “impractical,” also believed “the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind” that “legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property.” The notion of a dispersed base of ownership became the central principle which the Republic was, at least ostensibly, built around. As one delegate to the 1821 New York constitutional convention put it, property was “infinitely divided” and even laborers “expect soon to be freeholders” was a bulwark for the democratic order.
This notion of American opportunity has ebbed and flowed, but generally gained ground well into the 1960s and 1970s. The very fact that the United States was more demographically dynamic, notes Thomas Piketty, naturally reduced the role of inherited wealth compared to Europe, most notably in France, where population growth was slower. Mass prosperity hit a high point in America in the first decades after the Second World War, the period where the country achieved its highest share of world GDP at some forty percent. By the mid-1950s the percentage of households earning middle incomes doubled to 60 percent compared with the boom years of the 1920s. By 1962 over 60 percent of Americans owned their own homes; the increase in homeownership, notes Stephanie Coontz, between 1946 and 1956 was greater than that achieved in the preceding century and a half.
But today, after decades of expanding property ownership, the middle orders—what might be seen as the inheritors of Jefferson’s yeoman class—now appear in a secular retreat. Homeownership, which peaked in 2002 at nearly 70 percent, has dropped, according to the U.S. Census, to 65 percent in 2013, the lowest in almost two decade. Although some of this may be seen as a correction for the abuses of the housing bubble, rising costs, stagnant incomes and a drop off of younger first time buyers suggest that ownership may continue to fall in years ahead.
The weakness of the property owning yeomanry comes at a time when other classes, notably the oligarchs and the Clerisy, have gained power and influence. Over twenty years ago Christopher Lasch argued that “the new class” was arising that “begins and ends with the knowledge industry.” For this group, the rest of society, he suggested, exists only “as images and stereotypes.” Progressive theorists, such as Ruy Texerira, have suggested that, in the evolving class structure, the traditional middle and working class is of little importance compared to the rise of a mass “upper middle class” consisting largely of professionals, tech workers, academics, and high-end government bureaucrats.
The economic decline of the yeomanry.
All this suggests what could be seen as the proletarianization of the yeoman class. In the four decades since 1971 the percentage of those earning between two thirds and twice the national median income has shrunk, according to Pew, from over sixty to barely fifty percent of the population. While middle class incomes have fallen relative to the upper income groups, house prices and health insurance, utilities and college tuition costs have all soared.
This reflects some very dramatic changes in the nature of the employment market. For over a decade, job gains have been concentrated largely in the low-wage service sector, such as in retail or hospitality, which alone accounted for nearly sixty percent of job gains; in contrast middle income positions actually have been declining. Meanwhile, taxes on corporate profits, which are at an all time high, have fallen to near historic lows.
This trend has continued even in the recovery. Between 2010 and 2012, the middle sixty percent of households, did worse not only than the wealthy, but even the poorest quintile between 2010 and 2012. In the years of the recovery from the Great Recession the middle quintiles income dropped by 1.2 percent while those of the top five percent grew by over five percent. Overall the middle sixty percent have seen their share of the national pie fall from 53 percent in 1970 | [

The competing effects of microbially derived polymeric and low molecular-weight substances on the dispersibility of CeO2 nanoparticles
To understand the competing effects of the components in extracellular substances (ES), polymeric substances (PS) and low-molecular-weight small substances (SS) <1 kDa derived from microorganisms, on the colloidal stability of cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeNPs), we investigated their adsorption to sparingly soluble CeNPs at room temperature at pH 6.0. The ES was extracted from the fungus S. cerevisiae. The polypeptides and phosphates in all components preferentially adsorbed onto the CeNPs. The zeta potentials of ES+CeNPs, PS+CeNPs, and SS+CeNPs overlapped on the plot of PS itself, indicating the surface charge of the polymeric substances controls the zeta potentials. The sizes of the CeNP aggregates, 100-1300 nm, were constrained by the zeta potentials. The steric barrier derived from the polymers, even in SS, enhanced the CeNP dispersibility at pH 1.5-10. Consequently, the PS and SS had similar effects on modifying the CeNP surfaces. The adsorption of ES, which contains PS+SS, can suppress the aggregation of CeNPs over a wider pH range than that for PS only. The present study addresses the non-negligible effects of small-sized molecules derived from microbial activity on the migration of CeNP in aquatic environments, especially where bacterial consortia prevail. | [

A further transformation in the women's movements of the Methodist Church in Britain took place on 1st July 2011, when Women's Network and the British Unit of the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women (WFMUCW) joined together as part of Methodist Women in Britain (MWiB), a new movement aiming to develop the work of training pioneered by Women's Fellowship, along with the World Church emphasis of Women's Work, both of which had been continued through Women's Network with its motto of 'encouraging, enabling and equipping' women. MWiB is committed to finding new ways to engage with women throughout British Methodism and ecumenical churches as well as linking them with women around the world. MWiB operates through a brand new website (www.mwib.org.uk), regular newsletters, regional, national and international conferences and training events. It is run by a small executive of volunteers and a larger Forum, on which each district is represented, along with other areas of women's activity in the church. Creative spirituality along with a passion for social justice in a global context shape the activities and emphases of the movement. | [

What Viscosity can be Pumped?
Ezi-action® Drumpumps will dispense fluids of 8,800cps. They are proven to dispense honey (10,000cps at room temperature of 70F (21C)), molasses, oils: including coconut, olive and motor oils, shampoo, liquid soaps, gels......
Viscosity is measured at room temperature of 70F (21C).
The ambient temperature is important.
In cold environments products can thicken and may not be able to be pumped or become much harder to pump as the fluid has to flow for Ezi-action® Drumpumps to work.
The table gives an indication of liquids that can be pumped with Ezi-action® Drumpumps:
Speed of Pumping
The pumping principle requires that the fluid fills up the inner chamber (plunger) and outer case pipe before flowing out the spout.
So, when the fluid is more viscous (thicker) it is slower to fill up and a few more priming strokes are required.
To understand the simple pumping action, view the video.

Tackling scholar financial obligation is an important fit to other coverage information getting upcoming university value or to target the new situations regarding consumers who have loans. This type of additional policy information are the Center to own American Progress’ Past Tuition proposition, in addition to ideas for providing present loan borrowers detailed during the CAP’s declaration “Handling the new $1.5 Trillion inside the Government Education loan Personal debt.” six These information perform alter college or university investment for coming college students or let individuals who actually have financial obligation, however, nothing of the agreements currently target just how to rein in coming scholar school funds.
While this report does not strongly recommend a particular means, it’s adamant concerning the dependence on choices getting scholar loans taken up at scholar universities. Failing to handle this particular area do undercut the general pursuit of and work out advanced schooling affordable since the big expenditures inside the undergraduate degree you can expect to still be easily undone for the graduate university. It is time to possess a life threatening conversation on the best way to offer down financial obligation to your destroyed borrowers planning graduate schools.
Scholar college or university is more than just an extension away from undergraduate studies. Brand new collateral ramifications from scholar debt, brand new reduced good much less restrictive characteristics out of scholar mortgage structures, additionally the forces operating the supply of scholar degree emphasize the brand new requirement for the plan choices.
The latest guarantee implications out-of graduate financial obligation
This new proceeded increase out-of scholar school obligations provides high security implications that must definitely be handled. For example, there is proof that graduate school can also be undercut the skill of bachelor’s grade to market intergenerational flexibility. Starting with Florencia Torche’s 2011 investigation, facts shows that there is ample economic mobility for folks who only have a beneficial bachelor’s education-meaning that “the chances of achieving economic triumph is actually separate regarding social history among those just who to get a great BA.” eight However, the newest development does not keep certainly one of complex degree owners, having just who history highly influences flexibility-specifically for males. This means that you to, in the event the left uncontrolled, graduate school has the possibility to impede every work within improving flexibility that can come of undergraduate degree.
Fears that scholar school you may retrench financial versatility are particularly problematic while the female, Black colored, and Latinx people often need certainly to earn a beneficial credential not in the bachelor’s studies to receive shell out akin to smaller-experienced people and you may white individuals, respectively. Normally, females have to earn a great master’s training so you’re able to surpass the new lives earnings of men with a part training. 8 The outcome is similar when you compare college students that are Black colored otherwise Latinx having light somebody.
Once the Desk 2 shows, Black and Latinx graduate children are more inclined to enter loans than simply their light peers, and people who end have more complete financial obligation. Nearly ninety % off Black otherwise African american college students whom got to your government finance to possess graduate school and you will completed in new 2015-16 academic seasons got debt off student studies. Black students’ average federal debt having scholar university involved 25 percent higher than compared to its light co-workers, in addition to their complete federal financial obligation is actually $25,000 highest. Although Latinx pupils end up getting loans membership closer to those people of its light colleagues, people that borrowed to own graduate college or university and you may completed in 2015-16 was in fact very likely to has student debt than simply their white counterparts-82 % compared to 75 percent-and you can have from the $5,000 way more altogether loans.
Graduate loans has worse conditions than simply student fund
Which have higher quantities of debt to own scholar college as well as things as the this type of loans features more terms than simply student possibilities. For just one, there can be fundamentally zero tough dollar cover with the graduate college or university fund. Undergraduate students could possibly get use just about $30,one hundred thousand over its college job if they are an established college student no more $57,500 if they’re financially separate grownups. nine Graduate college students, meanwhile, is also acquire $20,five-hundred a-year and you will $138,five hundred overall compliment of that loan program. Once they you desire more than one, they may be able then tap into the new Grad Plus program, which enables a student to borrow a cost up to the latest complete price of attendance energized because of the college. This means https://getbadcreditloan.com/payday-loans-nc/ that, almost one to-quarter off graduate consumers took aside more than the latest existence loan maximum having mainly based undergraduates in just just one year | [

Every July experience is different, even if there is rarely much snow left. I decided to good checkout two main Eastern July ski options after skiing in the Laurentians last July and Tuckerman in 2007, 2008 and 2011. Riverc0il joined me for the US madness.
Can-Am National Holidays – July 1 & 5 2014 : World Cup, Humidex 106 & Still Sick!!!
Back-to-back ski extreme experiences (i.e. extreme in madness):
– Temperature in the 90F range one day to 90mph wind gust the next;
– From shorts and topless to “I need an extra jacket” weather;
– Driving with heavy storm warnings, torrential rain, T-storm and fireworks;
– Highway construction and orange cones everywhere;
– Avoiding wildlife at 75mph like the giant moose standing in middle of the interstate. Plus a fox and maybe even a grey wolf running across the car.
– Safety was an issue even before I started skiing, especially that I wasn’t even carrying a gun. This is New Hampshire, with the odd grey wolf and firearm carrying citizen.
There isn’t any snow?
Are you mad?” I answered “Yes!”
That was the main reaction by the US Gun-carrying Custom Officer when he questioned me about my plans for US soil. Other reactions of disbelief from fellow hikers on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail where they saw us with our skis? “Are you training for Alaska? Where are you going to find the snow?”
I didn’t get a reaction in Canada: it was just child play. People were climbing the hill in bathing suits to go tubing and didn’t notice us with our skis. I was even told before my July 1 trek if 40+ celsius with humidex wasn’t too hot to go skiing? No, it was one more reason to find some snow. Definitely cooler than playing World Cup football in the Brazilian tropical heat.
Both adventures were greeted with some disappointment at the speed in which the snow had melted since the last pictures were taken of both places.
Click link to continue to read and see more pictures.
Where is the snow in Tuckerman?
Riverc0il milking it
No patch is too far, nor too small!!!
The skiing is over… in the East. It is time to hop on a plane if you want to continue this game into August!!! Or go find a patch of snow at the local arena. I’ll try to ski you in August!!!
This is the best way to fight the summer skiing withdrawal. | [

Access to employee benefits in March 2013
July 19, 2013
In private industry, 64 percent of employees had access to retirement benefits in March 2013. That was significantly less than the 89 percent of state and local government employees with access to retirement benefits. Workers in private industry also were less likely than state and local government employees to have access to medical care benefits and paid sick leave.
|Employer characteristic||Retirement benefits||Medical care benefits||Paid sick leave|
Total, private industry
1 to 49 workers
50 to 99 workers
100 to 499 workers
500 workers or more
State and local government
Among workers in private industry, access to benefits varied by the employment size of the establishment. Among workers in establishments with 1 to 49 employees, 45 percent had retirement benefits. That compares with 63 percent of workers in establishments with 50 to 99 workers, 79 percent of workers in establishments with 100 to 499 workers, and 87 percent of workers in establishments with 500 workers or more.
Employer-provided medical care benefits were available to 70 percent of workers in private industry, compared with 87 percent of workers in state and local government. Among private industry workers, the access rate for employer-provided medical care benefits ranged from 53 percent among workers in establishments with 1 to 49 employees to 88 percent among workers in establishments with 500 workers or more.
Paid sick leave benefits also were more commonly offered to workers in state and local government (89 percent) than to those in private industry (61 percent). Among private industry workers, the access rate for paid sick leave benefits ranged from 50 percent among workers in establishments with 1 to 49 employees to 81 percent among workers in establishments with 500 workers or more.

India has planned to allow farmers to sell their products directly to bulk buyers such as food processors, trading companies, and large retailers, the farm minister said on June 3.
Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar told the press after a cabinet meeting led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, that this action would prevent the necessity for farmers to bring their products to India’s more than 7,000 regulated wholesale markets and let buyers buy from the fields.
He also added, “This is a historic-step in unlocking the vastly regulated agricultural markets in the country.”
In view of changing the rules, the cabinet has agreed to pass an emergency executive order.
Farmers are directed to sell their produce at wholesale markets in the majority of the states in the country, according to the ancient Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act.
This was initiated for the purpose of guarding farmers against the mistreatment of established buyers such as big trading houses, food processors, and large retailers.
But this was regarded by many farmers as an act of obstruction to selling produce in a direct manner to big buyers such as Tesco and Wal-Mart Stores which can also give them proper returns.
Additionally, a blurred system of auctioning by middlemen’s cartels at wholesale marketplaces gives farmers only little bargaining power and brings a new level of mediators into the picture, thereby increasing the prices for the consumers.
Moreover, the national lockdown due to the coronavirus added to the sorrows of the farmers and brought a great deal of scarcity in labor. This also impacted the functioning of wholesale markets.
As the government hasn’t abolished the APMC Act, these markets will function as usual, but one change is that the government has now authorized farmers to sell their produce directly to buyers. | [
