Description: The mythical story of fallen angels preserved in 1 Enoch and related literature was influential during the Second Temple period. This myth, initially attested in the Enochic Book of Watchers and picked up in further parts of 1 Enoch, was received in writings composed in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek, and had a profound impact on streams of religious thought in the western and oriental world, as well as in Africa. This volume collects studies by Loren T. Stuckenbruck that explore aspects of this influence in some of the literature and demonstrate how it was reused and adapted to address new cultural and religious contexts ( Book of Giants, Book of Jubilees, Dead Sea Scrolls, Book of Tobit, Book of Daniel, Genesis Apocryphon, Philo). In addition, apart from whether influence of the fallen angelsí tradition can be established, Stuckenbruck analyses the degree to which it offers a theological framework through which to reconsider theological approaches to several New Testament texts (Synoptic Gospels, Gospel of John, Acts, Pauline texts, and the Book of Revelation). Themes covered in the essays include demonology, prominent evil figures, giants, exorcism, petitionary prayer, the birth and activity of Jesus, the holy Spirit, conversion of Gentiles, "apocalyptic" and the understanding of time, and theological anthropology.

Audiences need to see more than brave, self-sacrificing heroes. They need to see virgins who bring their talents and self-fulfilling joys to life. The Virgin s Promise describes this journey with beats that feel incredibly familiar but that have not been illustrated in any other screenwriting book. It explores the yin and yang of the virgin and hero journeys to take up their power as individuals, and includes a practical guide to putting this new theory into action. "--Back cover.

James A. Michener was one of the most beloved storytellers of our time, captivating readers with sweeping historical plots that educated and entertained. In this first full-length biography of the private as well as the public Michener, Stephen J. May reveals how an aspiring writer became a best-selling novelist. It is the only book to draw on Michener’s complete papers as well as interviews with his friends and associates. The result conveys much about Michener never before revealed in print. May follows the young Michener from an impoverished Pennsylvania childhood to the wartime Pacific, where he found inspiration for Tales of the South Pacific, a book that led to a string of best sellers, including The Source, Centennial, Chesapeake, and The Covenant. May provides insights into Michener’s personal life: his three marriages, his unique working methods, and his social and political views. He also reveals the author’s hypersensitivity to criticism, his egotism, and his failure on some occasions to acknowledge the contributions of his assistants. Examining Michener’s body of writing in its biographical and cultural contexts, May describes the creation of each novel and assesses the book’s strengths and shortcomings. His close readings underscore Michener’s innovativeness in presenting mountains of historical and cultural research in an engaging literary form. This probing biography establishes Michener’s place in twentieth-century letters as it offers an unprecedented view of the man behind the typewriter.

NASA is concerned that Elon Musk's company SpaceX, which is sending satellites into space, may be causing traffic congestion and potential collisions.
SpaceX has been ramping up satellite deployments to power Starlink, a satellite internet constellation that provides Internet access coverage to most of the Earth.
In January, SpaceX asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to authorize the company to use a particular setup for 30,000 additional satellites it would send up over time, The Wall Street Journal reported. Those satellites represent most of the 42,000-satellite fleet that SpaceX hopes to deploy for Starlink.
NASA said in an early February letter to the FCC that the 30,000 devices would significantly boost the number of tracked objects in space, by a factor of more than five in certain lower orbits, The Journal reported.
"An increase of this magnitude into these confined altitude bands inherently brings additional risk of debris-generating collision events," the space agency said in the letter, The Journal reported.
NASA also expressed concerns about how the automated-maneuvering systems that Starlink satellites use may interact with other similar networks of satellites, given the lack of regulation.
NASA depends on SpaceX to fly astronauts to the International Space Station and pays the company for other missions.
More crowded orbits near Earth is concerning because collisions that generate debris could make orbits more dangerous for astronauts and other spacecraft to operate in.
In addition to SpaceX, other companies plan to launch constellations to the lower end of orbit to deliver faster internet service with fewer delays.
Starlink has the largest constellation at present, researchers say. In a recent tweet, Elon Musk said SpaceX's 1,741 Starlink devices were active or moving toward operational orbits.
SpaceX has said it has taken measures to avoid leaving debris in orbit, including deploying satellites in relatively low altitudes where they can re-enter the atmosphere and break down. The company has also told the FCC that the satellites shift if the probability of collision is greater than one in 100,000.
But Comspoc Corp. has estimated that the 42,000 satellites that SpaceX has said it would like to deploy could be involved in 52 collisions and 1.8 million maneuvers over 10 years based on the current number of tracked objects. Comscop develops solutions to address current and emerging challenges in the space operational environment, arising from intentional threats as well as hazards such as space debris.
Jim Cooper, lead for space-situational awareness solutions at Comspoc, said basic rules like managing right of ways don't exist right now.
In 2020, the FCC updated orbital-debris mitigation rules for the first time in more than 15 years, The Journal reported. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said then that the agency needed to do more to address collision and debris risks.
There are more than 250,000 Starlink user terminals, according to Musk, Forbes reported.

In this audio dispatch, correspondent Saffia Hossainzadeh describes her journey to her team's deep field site via a stop at Siple Dome station. In part two, hear about our combat-style landing at Siple Dome’s remote air strip. On his team’s first day out in the field near Kangerlussuaq, geomorphologist Paul Bierman of the University of Vermont explains what kind of rocks they look for to help determine the last time Greenland was free of ice. Meet glaciologist Slawek Tulaczyk and his team, who work in the fast-emerging field of ice sheet dynamics. They speak to us just after returning from a month at a remote camp on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Penn State University glaciologist Dr. Richard Alley explains why ice is cool. Dr. Tulaczyk, a glaciologist from UC Santa Cruz, studies the lakes, floods, and ice quakes that occur under the giant glaciers of Antarctica. He is among only 200 scientists world-wide who study ice sheet dynamics and its role in climate change. Join Senior Scientist Paul Doherty as he explains the difference between floating ice and land ice, and why they effect sea levels differently. Stephanie Chasteen speaks with Jerry Osborne of the University of Calgary about his work studying glaciers to understand how the climate is changing in recent years. Chris McKay, Planetary Scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center, has traveled the world seeking Mars-like environments. In the Dry Valleys of Antarctica—his favorite Mars analog on Earth—Dr. McKay discovered a kind of algae living inside rocks porous to light and water. He’ll show us some of these rocks and talk about the physical conditions required for life. In preparation for the 2004 landing of the Mars Exploration Rovers, NASA engineers and scientists tested their remote operation procedures using a rover called FIDO (field integrated design & operations rover). Our remote team traveled to the desert test site to see what they learned in the desert and what they hoped to learn on Mars. | [

What is RENDa Air Saver?
Parker RENDa Air Saver is an air valve that attaches to a blow gun and converts constant flow of air to pulsating air (Pulsing Air Valve).
It can reduce compressed air consumption by up to 50%, while performing the same amount of work in applications such as blowing off dust or drying parts.
It comes with a switch, so if a continuous blow is required, the pulsing function can be turned off.

Incredible ‘62 Bulldogs to be in Mason Athletic Hall of Fame
When the Mason boys’ basketball team bowed out in the state quarterfinals in 1962, members of the community knew they had witnessed something special. Now, 55 years later, that special squad will get its final celebration with induction into the Mason High School Athletic Hall of Fame 2017 class on Sept. 22.
Fans of Mason basketball had plenty to be excited about in the early 1960s. Jerry Willis, 2016 hall of fame inductee, set career and individual game scoring records in 1960 —records that still stand — while helping his team to a district championship finish.
In the background however, sophomores Dave Arnold, Tom Coss, Vern Elliott, and Larry Wright were gaining valuable experience. The following season, the first in Mason’s new gymnasium, these players led the Bulldogs to an 18–4 record, a Capital Circuit co-championship and district and regional titles.
By their final season in 1962, the now experienced Bulldogs utilized an up-tempo pressing style, and the team raced through an undefeated regular season and a 21-game win streak, accomplishments that have yet to be repeated.
“We pressed and ran the whole game,” said Coss with a smile. “The minute the other team got off the bus we were in our press.”
More on lsj.com:
Without a true star, Mason succeeded with balanced scoring, each starter contributing 20 points or more in at least one game during the season.
Arnold led the team with 16.5 points per game. Just behind him were Wright with 14, Elliott with 12, and junior Jim Phillips with 11 points per game. Coss, the floor leader and playmaker, dished out four assists per contest while chipping in 7.5 points per game. In most games, the starters saw no more than three quarters of action before the strong reserves sealed the victories.
Arnold, the team captain, was voted most valuable player by his teammates, but he insisted that the award should have been shared by the entire starting lineup. “We were blessed,” he recalled fondly. “We had a good group of guys with a wonderful coach.”
Coach, team chemistry
That coach was Fred Driver, a young biology teacher, who doubled as the football coach in the fall. “He inspired us, but disciplined us, too. He got 100 percent of our effort out of us,” said Arnold. “Everyone loved playing for Fred.”
And the admiration was mutual. “Really great desire — they’d live in the gym if we’d let ’em,” Driver told the Lansing State Journal at the time. He wasn’t joking either, as the players often snuck in to the old Jefferson High School building to play in the gym after hours.
Driver gathered his team in November to plan for the 1962 season, and he set an undefeated regular season as the first of the team’s goals. When the Associated Press released its first prep basketball poll, Driver’s Bulldogs stood at No. 2 in Class B, one spot behind defending state champ River Rouge. They were 7–0 and nearly half way to their goal of an undefeated regular season.
The No.-2 ranking in Class B was well deserved, considering that the Bulldogs beat their opponents by an average margin of 23 points per game through the season. All season long, the Bulldogs made their case as state title contenders.
It wasn’t until the second to last game of the regular season that the Bulldogs had their first scare. With the Capital Circuit league championship already wrapped up, Mason faced neighbor and rival Okemos, runner-up in the Capital Circuit.
The Bulldogs withstood a second-half surge by Okemos and escaped with a four-point victory. A week later, they faced the Chiefs again in the first game of districts, this time winning by seven.
Perhaps the close calls against Okemos refocused the team. From there on, the Bulldogs charged through district and regional play, winning five straight tournament games by at least 15 points and by as many as 40 points.
In the quarterfinals, the Bulldogs faced East Grand Rapids in front of 3,200 fans at Portage High. The matchup was one of contrasting styles. Mason, the smaller team, favored a high-speed play while East Grand Rapids with its size preferred a slower, deliberate game.
A back-and-forth first half ended with Mason trailing 28–27. But uncharacteristic Bulldog turnovers resulted in a 22–9 third quarter. Mason tried to rally, but East Grand Rapids made all eight of its shot attempts in the final quarter, snuffing out Mason’s hopes at a title shot. The team won together, and in the end faltered together. East Grand Rapids advanced to the finals but fell to | [

Author Maurice Shadbolt went before the cameras to play father to the main character, in this adaptation of his acclaimed coming of age novel. Teen Nick (Paul O’Shea) is estranged from his family, and blaming himself for his Māori mate's climbing death. He runs away to his straight talking grandfather (Derek Hardwick) — who takes him bush — and loses his virginity to Sally (a first film role for Rebecca Gibney). Produced by Pacific Films legend John O’Shea, the NZ-German co-production was directed by Rolf Hädrich (Stop Train 349). The film debuted in NZ on television.
This Feltex Award-winning documentary follows two grandchildren of Tommy Solomon — the last full-blooded Moriori — on a pilgrimage to Rēkohu in the Chatham Islands, to rediscover their heritage. They learn about 1000 years of Moriori settlement: Polynesian origins, pacifist beliefs (tragically tested by 19th Century Māori invasion), carvings and a seafood-based way of life. Years before Michael King’s 1989 book Moriori: A People Discovered and Barry Barclay film Feathers of Peace, this 1980 doco launched a revival of Moriori culture, and revised popular misconceptions.
This turn of the century comedy series was a satirical look at colonial life through the eyes of moderately hapless Māori chief Te Tutu (Pio Terei). Complications from over-fishing of kai moana (seafood) are the main plot spurs of this second episode. Meanwhile a newcomer to Aotearoa – Herrick's brother, an English army toff played by Charles Mesure (Desperate Housewives, This is Not My Life) – attracts the attention of Hine Toa (Rachel House), and hatches an evil plan (‘MAF’: Murder All Fishes). Meanwhile the patronising Vole continues his campaign of colonisation.
Marae DIY is a long-running Māori Television series that brings a tangata whenua twist to the home renovation reality format: "marae knock out their 10-year plans in just four days". This Qantas Award-winning episode heads to Manutuke Marae (south of Gisborne) mid-winter in 2006. Marae DIY creator Nevak Rogers (aka Nevak Ilolahia) has Rongowhakaata whakapapa. Alongside co-presenter Te Ori Paki, Rogers plays cheerleader as her whānau rally to meet the goals: from french doors for the kitchen, to makeovers for the nannies (including a moko by Derek Lardelli).
Haunui Royal directs this 1999 documentary on the people who live in the Far North, and their guardianship (kaitiakitanga) connection with the land and sea. Royal looks at how this traditional ownership is under pressure: from urban sprawl, pollution, and changing land use. Kaitiaki include farmer Laly Haddon, fisherman Rick, paralegal Ani Taniwha (whose work with ōi (shearwater) helped deepen her connection to the land); Ngāti Kuri members looking after Te Rerenga Wairua (Cape Reinga), and a group of rangatahi from Auckland.
While convalescing down under Sir Charles Pemberton (Terence Cooper) schemes to build a thermal spa in the town of Wainamu c.1900. Conflict ensues as the spa’s planned location is on Māori land. The action is seen through the eyes of youngsters: hotelier’s son Tom, and Pemberton’s granddaughter Sarah Jane; who — along with an erupting volcano — eventually impart on Sir Charles a lesson about colonial hubris. The 13-part series was a marquee title from a golden age of Kiwi kidult telly-making: it won multiple Feltex awards, and screened on the BBC in 1980.
After kicking off with 'Poi-E' and the opening of landmark exhibition Te Māori in New York, this documentary sets out to summarise the key elements of Māori culture and history in a single hour. Narrator Don Selwyn ranges across past and (mid 80s) present: from early Māori settlement and moa-hunting, to the role of carvings in "telling countless stories". There are visits to Rotorua's Māori Arts and Crafts Institute and a Sonny Waru-led course aimed at getting youth in touch with their Māoritanga. The interviews include Napi Waaka and the late Sir James Hēnare.

Phosphorylation of recombinant proteins in E. coli - (Aug/26/2013 )
Hi. I'm trying to find some information on what protein kinases are present in E.coli. More specifically, I'm trying to get a better understanding of when my recombinant protein may be phosphorylated. I'm having trouble finding references to help me and didn't know if anyone here could point me to some references - any reviews would be fantastic!

Government, company say no conflict in gas-well study
The Peace Environment and Safety Trustees Society environmental group says they are concerned a company hired by the B.C. government to study oil and gas health risks in the Peace Region may be biased because of its previous work for the industry. But both the government and the company say the report will be based solely on science. | [

Want to know input lag vs response time, don’t worry, we got you covered. Read this guide thoroughly so you don’t miss anything out!
Is it important to have a low input lag, or is it better to focus on a low response time?
Most of us have heard about the importance of input lag in PC gaming before, but we’ve never really thought about what exactly it is.
In this article, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of both input lag and response time, as well as how each impacts gaming performance. We’ll also explain how to check if your monitor has a good input lag or response time, and how you can improve your monitor’s response time.
You can ruin your gaming experience if you have high input lag and slow response time. It can be unbearable if the input lag is too high. First, make sure the input lag performance of the display is acceptable, and then look for the fastest response time speed.
When it comes to a fluid gaming experience, input lag and response time are equally important but too high of a lag can make competitive gaming unbearable.
Thankfully, most new gaming displays offer both low input lag and quick response time so you won’t have to compromise. When looking at the display’s specifications, many people mistake the response time for input lag.
Input lag is the delay between the screen and your commands, such as a press on the keyboard or mouse. The time it takes to change from black to white, or from one shade of gray into another is called response time.
In fast-paced games, a quick response time speed is needed to eliminate ghosting or trailing behind fast-moving objects.
The maximum refresh rate is the most important factor in determining how fast the response time speed needs to be. In order to refresh the image 60 times per second, a 60hertz monitor has to be used.
If it takes longer than 16.67ms to change from one color to another, you will notice ghosting behind fast-moving objects. For a 144Hz monitor, response time needs to be less than 2.94ms, and for a 240Hz monitor, less than.
The specified response time speed that monitor manufacturers quote (such as 1ms GtG, 4ms GtG, etc.) refers to the display’s fastest pixel transition possible from one shade of gray to another under certain testing conditions.
It takes longer to change from black to white than it does from light to dark, so even if all white to black transitions are below the quoted 4ms, some dark to light transitions might take over 10ms.
In fast-paced scenes with a lot of dark pixels involved, ghosting wouldn’t be as noticeable, while in other scenes it wouldn’t be noticeable at all. Generally, if you want to avoid ghosting, you should look for gaming monitors with a specified response time speed of 1ms GtG.
This isn’t a guarantee of flawless response time performance, which needs to be properly maximized via the monitor’s overdrive implementation.
A good implementation of overdrive will ensure that the pixels change fast enough but will also prevent inverse ghosting. The overshoot was very small.
Inverse ghosting is caused by pixels being pushed too hard by an aggressive overdrive setting, which leads to a bright trail following moving objects. To find out how well the overdrive is implemented on a monitor, as well as what setting should be used at which refresh rate, you will need to look for detailed monitor reviews.
The lower the input lag is, the higher the refresh rate is. Since the picture gets updated more frequently and you can react to it sooner, a 120Hz display will have essentially half the input lag in comparison to a 60Hz display. All new high refresh rate gaming monitors have low input lag in relation to their refresh rate which means that the delay between your actions and the result on the screen will be invisible.
If you want the fastest gaming monitors available for competitive gaming, you should focus on its response time speed performance. The input lag on TVs is higher than the monitors.
For the best performance, look for a TV that has a native 120Hz refresh rate, otherwise, it won’t work. It is very important that the Game Mode is enabled on the TV. It reduces input lag by not processing certain images post-processing.

GtG vs MPRT Response Time
Sometimes, monitor manufacturers will specify a response time speed of 1ms without declaring if it is a GtG or MPRT measure. The 1ms MPRT measure is only available if you enable the monitor’s backlight strobing technology, which reduces the perceived motion blur at a cost of picture brightness. It does improve motion clarity, but it can’t be active at the same time as a variable refresh rate | [

Two US universities have recently taken different approaches to implementing discovery tools. Library directors Mary M. Somerville and Kristin Antelman reveal some of their experiences
Over the past few decades there has been a huge shift towards information in electronic form and this has placed new demands on libraries. In particular there is a significant need for tools that help library users to find relevant information from the huge body of content available. And to be truly effective, there is a need to search across many resources, in other words to search on a web scale.
Our two libraries – at North Carolina State University (NCSU) and the University of Colorado, USA (UCD) – have separately been looking at the issue of web-scale discovery. In particular, we have been looking at organisational readiness for web-scale discovery service implementation.
Over 10 years, NCSU Libraries has re-invented its workplace, a process that culminated in the opening of a new facility – the Hunt Library – in January 2013. The UCD Library has undergone a similar process over the past five years. Although we have used different approaches, we have both discovered that organisational transformation helped ensure successful implementation – at both institutions – of the Serials Solutions Summon discovery tool.
The risk of lack of ownership
UCD was careful about implementing Summon, having already failed to implement WorldCat Local. That project failed for a variety of reasons including exclusive project management, which meant the initiative remained ‘siloed.’ Lacking the support of public services librarians, and with technical services librarians’ contributions absent, the service was not adopted.
Having learned the importance of the whole library team being involved in and taking ownership of the project, the university’s library began its new discovery project, in 2008, with a study of technical services – the resource acquisition, management, and discovery functions of the library. The study, carried out by R2 Consulting, recommended that the library organisational structure should reflect that the library materials budget is largely expended on electronic resources and serials – in FY13 this was more than 85 per cent of the total budget.
As a result of this recommendation, the acquisitions, e-resources and serials, and metadata services were combined so that the processes associated with ordering, receiving, processing, cataloguing, and other access management could be coordinated into a single workflow. Technical staff were invited to help redesign the processes, procedures, and workflows.
This re-invention of the workplace helped to create a learning organisation. Philosophical elements and information practices supported new values such as ‘taking initiative’, ‘working together’, ‘leading from wherever you are in the organisation’ and ‘making decisions at the lowest appropriate level’. These philosophies helped ensure successful implementation of the web-scale discovery service.
In 2010, a newly-appointed ‘resource discovery task force’ was asked to ‘define, assess, and recommend how to implement the best possible library resource discovery experience for patrons given existing staffing and budget constraints.’ Three of five of the task force members were technical services librarians. The remaining two were recruited from information technology and public services. To encourage organisation-wide learning throughout the process, meeting minutes and other documents were routinely posted on the library’s intranet.
A weighted decision matrix was then developed to evaluate web-scale discovery solutions, with the ‘Big Five’ vendors being invited to present demonstrations. Following this, based on weighted decision matrix results, three products were selected for usability testing. Morae software captured ‘voice out loud’ observations on decision-making during practice searches. Recorded sessions were then shared with all interested library staff, and their comments were collected, before final data analysis and product recommendation.
In April 2011, the team unanimously agreed that Serials Solutions Summon was the best choice for UCD. Following procurement, a Summon technical services implementation team began building Summon as the ‘place to go for full text’. In keeping with the library’s workplace learning and shared leadership philosophy, frequent communication updates were sent to all library staff, providing information about progress, and delivering insights on the nuances of the discovery service experience. Staff also gained implementation and customisation ideas through the Summon customer listserv, Summon Suggestions.
Taking things slowly
This produced an internal/soft launch in November 2011, a beta launch in March 2012, and a home page launch in August 2012. The whole process took 23 months, during which technical services engaged all interested library staff to ensure adoption and promotion of the service.
With the launch of Summon on the website, web services staff members in the library information technology department immediately initiated refinements in the ‘single search box’ user experience. For instance, a programmer developed a link in Summon to our Prospector resource sharing network. Regular usability testing ensures continuous improvement of the user experience. The whole process demonstrated that realising the full potential of a discovery service engages an entire organisation – further reducing organisational silos and simultaneously eliminating content silos.

From the excellent Quadrant Online:
Sometimes, every so often, the widespread incidence of vocal idiocy can be quite heartening, especially for sentient Australians who have endured years of hectoring by deep-green nitwits. One of the chief contributing factors to the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009 in Victoria was the refusal of Greens-influenced local councils and land-care authorities to initiate the prophylactic burning needed to reduce fuel loads and manage fire risk. It was much the same story a few years later in Tasmania, where the flames ran wild once again.
Surely these people were Australia’s particular curse, it was tempting to conclude, as there could be few, even in less flammable lands, who would find the direct relationship between lethal fires and abundant ground fuel just a bit too hard to grasp?
Well, thanks to a group of Californian activists — that’s them above, naked and cuddly with a stand of Berkeley blue gums — we now know that American fools are at least the equal of our own homegrown variety. Those trees are supposed to come down to reduce the fire risk, and there is good reason for the felling and lopping: Twenty-four years ago, wildfires feeding on the eucalypts’ oil-rich leaves and uncleared ground fuel destroyed some 3,300 homes and claimed 25 lives.
But a tree is a tree is a tree, to your typical green ratbag, and human life not worth much at all, so Berkeley has been witnessing protests aimed at preserving the surrounding terrain as a pyre in need only of its spark. This puts the Californian crazies on a par with their Australian counterparts — but then they go further. According to protest organiser and photographer Jack Gescheidt, whose grasp of forestry leaves quite a lot to be desired, “native vegetation” absolutists have been spreading “the myth” that eucalypts love to burn. He explains:
“…. all living trees, because of their high moisture content, are considered resistant to fire …”
It is almost a pity Gescheidt wasn’t communing with nature in Kinglake on Black Saturday, February 7, 2009. He might first have noticed that some species are indeed quite fond of going up in flames. Further, like the 173 victims that inferno, he might no longer be around to orchestrate a repeat performance of that holocaust on the other side of the Pacific.
It would beyond Gescheidt’s comprehension, but those interested in learning more of trees, fire and the fatal romanticism of the deep green mind should read forester and fire expert Roger Underwood’s essay via the link below.
The Daily Caller tells it all:
Expedition To Study Global Warming Put On Hold Because Of TOO MUCH ICE
An expedition to study the effects of global warming was put on hold Wednesday. The reason? Too much ice.
The CCGS Amundsen, a Medium Arctic icebreaker and Arctic research vessel operated by the Canadian Coast Guard, was to travel throughout Hudson Bay, a body of water in northeastern Canada, but was rerouted to help ships who were stuck in the icy water.
A Coast Guard officer said the conditions were the “worst he’s seen in 20 years,” reports CBC news.
“Obviously it has a large impact on us,” says Martin Fortier, executive director of ArcticNet, which coordinates research on the vessel. “It’s a frustrating situation.”
ArcticNet is a network of scientists who study “the impacts of climate change and modernization in the coastal Canadian Arctic.”
The vessel is one of only two icebreakers in the Arctic, leaving the ship obligated to reroute their travel plans to help break ice for resupply ships.
Johnny Leclair, an assistant commissioner for the Coast Guard, said there should be two more icebreakers headed to the Arctic in the next week, which would free up their ship to continue on their originally planned trip.
Fortier is hopeful the season will still be productive.“The people planning the large expeditions have a plan B,” Fortier said. “We have already curtailed or either moved to a later date some of the stations and some of the areas we were suppose to sample.”
The ship even has a blog post that it has been updating. Here is an excerpt:
“Meanwhile, we’ve run into ice and out of darkness. During our night of action, the sun didn’t set, so only the face of my watch was there to tell me that it was 3 AM as we were tying down incubators. At five thirty in the morning, as the sun rose — or, rather, got a bit brighter in the sky — filling the world with a deep pink, and the waves turned glassy and viscous and bright, our fingers finally fell numb and our setup was finally done, just in time | [

In emerging and developing countries, the commodification of land has become a fundamental driving force of urban production and economic growth. Turning land into profits is not the preserve of big institutional actors or private investors (whether local or international), though: it also concerns more modest forms of investment – in micro-parcels of land – just as much, if not more so when considered in terms of the total amount of land converted in this way and the number of inhabitants concerned. These micro-parcels are sold off and then subdivided for urban uses, mostly residential. Such capitalistic uses of land reflect an emerging type of city and allow us to observe the effects of a desire for urbanity that is shared far beyond formal city boundaries and is evident in the sale and purchase of plots of land in even the most remote villages, leading to a constant expansion of built-up areas. The rising value of this land, divided into lots to meet the potential needs of families with highly variable income levels, foreshadows the idea that the city will soon arrive at – and incorporate – these lots.
© Éric Denis.
This is where urban desires reside. To be clear, we are not talking about a desire to migrate towards the bright lights of the city, but rather about a shared belief in the possible emergence of an urban society in the places where these people live, which in some cases are very far from existing cities. The rise in value of the innumerable parcels of land removed from agricultural use is based on the very widely shared conviction that an urban transition is imminent, alongside the possibility of a certain emancipation from local ties and affiliations (castes, extended families, clans, etc.), and on its anticipation by a very wide spectrum of actors that cannot be reduced to institutional investors and the richest families alone. This paper analyses the commodification of farmland through its transformation into urban land, and how even the poorest households seek to capture and realize the potential value of the parcels they own.
New means of producing the city in societies undergoing reconfiguration
While the demographic growth of cities in the Global South is starting to slow down, the urban sprawl generated by these cities continues at a brisk pace, and is even accelerating. Indeed, the number of conversions of agricultural and rural land (including forests, wetlands and wasteland, and the commons as well as private property and resources) into plots for subdivision has skyrocketed following the liberalization of economies and adjustment measures associated with debt negotiations (1980s–1990s–2000s).
As a consequence of these macroeconomic transformations, new trends in terms of the production of cities and the (unequal and uncertain) reconfiguration of urban societies have become established:
- greater openness to foreign investors, who benefit from special regimes and offer exclusive, high-end products;
- the management and development (inventory, sale, rental) of public land holdings and the adoption of measures to attract investors, who are at the heart of a transition from the public government of cities to shared forms of governance that involve more and more private actors;
- a massive capitalization of land and real estate, at both institutional and individual levels (creation of land banks);
- the use of land as consideration (in the legal sense of the word) in exchange for credit expansion – and therefore money creation;
- the destruction or non-emergence of social protection systems and the failings of financial inclusion, health services and education services, leading to widespread uncertainty that encourages capitalization of gold and land;
- the expansion of informal neighbourhoods – through the occupation of public land or the illegal subdivision of private property – in response to a large-scale need for housing, in a context where public housing programmes have been comprehensively reduced.
These factors enable us to produce a clear, nuanced and contextualized diagnosis of the growing discrepancy between the slowdown in cities’ demographic growth and the explosion of urban sprawl in the Global South (Denis 2011; Shatkin 2015; Aveline-Dubach 2015). For example, the number of new, empty dwellings – that have been the subject of transactions but are unoccupied – is often presented as a sign of a speculative economy and of the development of real-estate bubbles (Aveline 2008), by far the largest of which is currently the Chinese housing bubble. However, China is just one country among many others whose economic growth, methods of wealth accumulation, and urban transition are stimulated by the commodification of land.
What is meant by “financialization of land”?
The massive conversion of periurban land and the commodification of public holdings are as much a response to the funding needs of urban economies as to functional requirements (housing, providing services, producing goods), if not more so. Land ownership and the massive conversions that are extending and renewing forms of urban development are part of a profound transformation in the way cities are produced. These land conversions respond to the need to have something tangible (to use as consideration) | [

Blends of volatile chemicals emanating from cassava leaves infested by the cassava green mite were found to promote conidiation of Neozygites tanajoae, an entomopathogenic fungus specific to this mite. Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is one compound frequently present in blends of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPV) as well as that of mite-infested cassava. Here, we investigated the effect of methyl salicylate in its pure form on the production of pre-infective spores (conidia), and the germination of these spores into infective spores (capilliconidia), by a Brazilian isolate and a Beninese isolate of N. tanajoae. Mummified mites previously infected by the fungal isolates were screened under optimal abiotic conditions for sporulation inside tightly closed boxes with or without methyl salicylate diffusing from a capillary tube. Production of conidia was consistently higher (37%) when the Beninese isolate was exposed to MeSA than when not exposed to it (305.5 ± 52.62 and 223.2 ± 38.13 conidia per mummy with and without MeSA, respectively). MeSA, however, did not promote conidia production by the Brazilian isolate (387.4 ± 44.74 and 415.8 ± 57.95 conidia per mummy with and without MeSA, respectively). Germination of the conidia into capilliconidia was not affected by MeSA for either isolate (0.2%, 252.6 ± 31.80 vs. 253.0 ± 36.65 for the Beninese isolate and 4.2%, 268.5 ± 37.90 vs. 280.2 ± 29.43 for the Brazilian isolate). The effects of MeSA on the production of conidia were similar to those obtained under exposure to the complete blends of HIPV for the case of the Beninese isolate, but dissimilar (no promoting effect of MeSA) for the case of the Brazilian isolate. This shows that MeSA, being one compound out of many HIPV, can be a factor promoting sporulation of N. tanajoae, but it may not be the only factor as its effect varies with the fungal isolate under study. | [

The Quality of Service research lab (QORE, pronounced “core”) focuses on tackling management problems that arise in resource provisioning and QoS/SLA assurance in computer systems at service and edge layers.
Our goal is to develop advanced methods and tools to support engineers in enhancing Quality of Service and reducing operational expenditure (OPEX) in running cross-layer ICT services and the business processes they underpin.
ICT management decisions can occur at different stages of a computer system lifecycle, e.g., during design, testing, deployment, or operation. The diversity of activities that arise in these stages, in terms of technical approaches, actors, times and costs involved, offers a rich landscape to carry out advanced computing research.
The research themes we focus on are in particular:
- Resource allocation
- Anomaly detection in service data
- Consolidation, OPEX and TCO reduction
- Business workflows and orchestration
- Benchmarking, configuration, auto-tuning | [

Cement trade in the south of India has taken a jolt, as Kerala government apparently struck a gentlemen¹s agreement with the business community over plans to bury its double-point tax issue. Dealers in north Kerala have refused to take stocks from cement firms, practically bringing the stock flow to construction sector to a grinding halt from this week. Nine cement majors, including ACC, Dalmia, Chettinad Cements, India Cements and Madras Cements are suppliers to Kerala¹s buoyant construction business. Cement firms insist on only paying 10 per cent tax to state, leaving payment of five per cent to last-point sellers, sticking to the double-point tax system, legally valid in Kerala from April 1, 2004.
³Unless they go back to the earlier single-point tax system of shouldering the 15 per cent tax, we will have to turn our backs to buying stocks,² according to T Nasiruddin, president, Kerala Vyapari Vyavasayi Ekopana Samithi, the biggest retailers¹ body in the state. True to word, 452 cement dealers in two districts of north Kerala have already stopped replenishing stocks. ³Where companies like Hindustan Lever are co-operative, the cement majors are stubborn,² Mr Nasiruddin told reporters at the Financial Express.
Traders also allege that the cement industry¹s response smacks of cartelisation at a vulnerable time. In a meeting with business community last week, Kerala government is understood to have given them the word to revert the legislation with retrospective effect, in the next session of the assembly after the election period limitations are over. Kerala chief minister AK Antony, when asked of the agreement with traders, did not spell out the terms, but left telltale clues as to its real nature. ³State finance minister has pacified the traders. Details of the settlement will be clear after the election, as the assembly session starts,² he said, in reply to a question.
What gives complete credence to the position of cement companies is that they stand on legal bearings at present. But, considering the glut in the cement godowns that real estate sector in Kerala reports, pressing the spat might be unwise from a business point of view. The state absorbs 20 per cent of the cement produced in South. Out of the 21 items in the double-point taxation list, it was only the cement suppliers who were not game to the new unspoken pact. | [

Christina Hall wants to add an alpaca to her growing list of pets!
In an all-new episode of Christina in the Country premiering this Thursday at 8 p.m., the HGTV star, 39, visits an alpaca farm with her husband Josh and 7-year-old son Brayden (whom she shares with her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa).
"Today we're doing something really fun — we're going to an alpaca farm," Christina says in the exclusive clip above. "We have so much land in Tennessee, and I really want to fill it up with animals."
In the sneak peek, multiple alpacas stand around Christina, who then tries to pet one of them as Brayden warns her: "Mom! That one's looking at me like,'stay back.'"
Following the alpaca farm excursion with her family, Christina tells her husband, "These are really cute, and I really want one." Josh looks at her skeptically and asks: "One? Just one? Who's going to take care of it?" With a smile, Christina answers, "You."
The home renovation star — who already owns goats, mini donkeys, and chickens — is sharing an inside look into her life in Tennessee with her series Christina in the Country (a spin-off of her California-based renovation show Christina on the Coast), which premiered on Thursday, Jan. 12.
The new series follows Christina and Josh, who purchased a Franklin, Tenn. farmhouse in 2021, as they settle into country life, expand Christina's design business, and renovate homes in Tennessee.
Brayden, Christina's daughter Taylor, 12, whom she shares with El Moussa, and her three-year-old son Hudson, whom she shares with her ex-husband Ant Anstead, also experience a bit of country living with their mom on the show.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE earlier this month, Christina opened up about loving her life in Tennessee and how she hopes to retire there one day with Josh.
"It's the best," Christina tells PEOPLE. "It's definitely where we'll retire. I would love to do the opposite [of what I do now]: I would love to live there full time and then have a cute little beach cottage in California, in La Jolla, that we hop back to." The design expert is currently based in Newport Beach, California, and makes regular trips to Nashville.
"This is down the road when the kids are out of high school. But that's the ultimate plan," she reveals.
Christina in the Country airs Thursday at 8 p.m. on HGTV. | [

Securing the network – the nervous system of IoT
Networks, servers and IT infrastructure function as the brain and backbone of any IoT system. Though invisible to the naked eye, they have the power to connect devices, equipment and, in some instances, entire factories. Since information and communication technology (ICT) systems live from data flowing in and out, they are, by nature, vulnerable to attacks. Strong security measures embedded within such systems protect business-critical and personal data against unauthorized access and manipulation. Embedded security solutions such as Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) answer the demand for reliable ICT security.
The dynamic ICT infrastructure behind IoT requires a system-level security solution to ensure secure end-to-end communication. After all, security vulnerabilities increase with rapid interface growth. In addition to preventing manipulation, a security system must prevent unauthorized access. Only clearly identified clients and devices may exchange data – be it in the cloud or in a private or corporate network. The solution must identify compromised devices immediately and take the appropriate countermeasures. Furthermore, network equipment manufacturers increasingly seek technologies that enable remote maintenance, device management and new business models, with feature authorization.
Because conventional systems with nothing more than software-based security mechanisms are relatively easy to attack and manipulate, a strong ICT security solution begins on a chip’s hardware. Ideally, such a solution relies on hardware-based security, such as systems from Infineon.
As the long-standing market leader, Trusted Computing innovator, and expert with decades of experience in the traditional chip card sector, Infineon offers you incomparable expertise in the field of information and communication technology. In our broad portfolio, you’ll find a range of top-of-the-line standardized, certified TPM security systems, such as our:
- Classic line of OPTIGA™ TPM 1.2 products
- OPTIGA™ TPM 2.0 products for smooth migration to the latest standards in embedded security

Top Ten Worst Actors
The Contenders: Page 24
Too soon to put her on a list like this. She is too young and still needs to improve because she's learning her acting skills. After all she didn't made many films yet and that's another reason why it's too soon to Judge her and to put her here. I believe she has the potential and the skills to become a good actress. But hey! I'm just a sucker for a pretty face!
Great actress. - Tia-Harribel
i love her
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS? Katharine Hepburn the worst actress? It's a joke, right?
Over-rated, but she earned some success.
FOUR best actress Oscars! Plenty of great performances in classic films. Whoever put her name on here belongs on the nuthouse pickup list.
Why is she on this list? She was a great actress. not like these untalented bitches today.
Can't act for nuts. Paraded around nude in Sessions for most of this cheap little movie. It served only to excite the simple minds of those turned on by a worn out naked hag.
I completely agree. She couldn't act if she was paid a billion dollars a picture. And she don't look that good either.
How this untalented and very ugly woman managed to get roles is beyond me.It can't be that she's sleeping with the executives to get roles because she's too ugly for that ( her hairline starts at half her head and looks like she's bald at the front ). So why does this no-talent actress getting roles? It's a mystery that even Sherlock Holmes never wouldn't have solved.
A has been trash can with no talent, just a beaver.
Hardcore porn star who can't act. See INTIMACY.
This old skank is a New Zealand hardcore porn slut with no acting talent.
Australian porn star. Can't act who gives nothing to a role. Does nude scenes to compensate for lack of talent. Couldn't make it in Australia so went to New York to do porn.
A completely untalented scumbag from 9 Song who thinks he's the ant's pants. What a worthless creep.
Absolutely true. What a creep.
Hardcore porn trash who can't act, couldn't even make it as a hooker. She's worthless.
Hardcore porn loser. BROWN BUNNY.
Her role in "The Brown Bunny" had nothing to do with her talent, which is quite considerable in both acting and fashion designing.
This is a higly talented actress who really doesn't belong here! She has proven her acting in so many movies of diverce genres. As for her movie " The brown bunny " ( where she's performing a real bj ), I have only one thing to say ; how many actresses would dare to take a challenge like that? It's an art film and not porn by the way.
Hardcore porn whore featured in The Brown Bunny. She has not the slightest acting talent and not at all attractive - perfect Hollywood actress.
A highly talented and underrated actress. Has proven many times that she can act, so it's ridiculous to debate if she's a good or a bad actress. Doesn't belong here at all.
She thinks she is an actress. Can't act, just does laughable sex scenes with other non actors. Get a life.
Underrated,talented, beautiful and yet there are still people who dare to put her on a list like this.
To the ones who voted for the " get a life " comment, I say,Get a life of your own, idiots!

Met Office weather: UK set for ‘thunderstorms and humidity’
Thunderstorms, lightning and heavy rain will continue to hit parts of Britain this weekend. Forecasters warn up to 90mm of rain could fall today, after heavy rain and thunderstorms caused disruption on Saturday. Yesterday saw roads and railway lines flooded in the south of England. The Met Office issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms across much of England and Wales, stretching across the weekend and into most of Monday.
Meteorologist Matthew Box said Saturday's stormy weather broke out in Kent before moving across Essex, where some places saw 40mm of rain in around 40 minutes.
"It may not mean anything to a non-meteorologist maybe, but that is a healthy dose of rain in under an hour," he told the PA news agency.
Mr Box said Sunday was likely to bring large hail and gusty winds as well as rainfall of up to 90mm in places hit by multiple thunderstorms.
"We're going to see essentially some pulses of potentially thundery showers pushing their way up from the channel through the course of the morning affecting southern counties," he said.
UK weather forecast: Thunderstorms, lightning and heavy rain will continue to hit parts of Britain
Flooding expected to cause travel chaos - as forecasters warned of an end to the heatwave.
The extreme weather may damage buildings and cause power cuts and cancellations to train and bus services.
Flooding is expected to cause roads to close causing issues with travel.
Five flood alert warnings have been issued across the West Midlands by the Environment Agency.
Mr Box said: "Saturday will begin mostly cloudy for most areas across the UK but as the day goes on showers will start to break out in the South and South East of England.
"As the day progresses further there's a chance of some rumbles of thunder and potentially some hail and lightning.
"The risk of thunder will start to push further north on Sunday, with central parts of England and Wales facing heavy rain and the chance of flooding."
However, areas in Scotland and north-western England and Northern Ireland are forecast to be dry with a few sunny spells after a week of heavy rain.
Mr Box said this was due to winds causing an "East-West" split in northern areas.
Chief Meteorologist Frank Saunders added: "Up until Monday, thunderstorm warnings cover much of England and Wales, with parts of southern England and South Wales seeing the greatest likelihood of impacts."
Due to the continuing hot weather, large parts of the UK will be at risk of thunderstorms, Mr Saunders explained.
Neil Davies, Flood Duty Manager at the Environment Agency, said: "Isolated thunderstorms could bring sudden surface-water and river flooding, which may lead to flooded properties and severe travel disruption in some areas. Further surface water and river flooding is also a possibility until Sunday.

Philips Lucasz. of Middelburg made a very successful career in the service of the Dutch East India Company. He was appointed Councillor General Extraordinary of the Dutch East Indies in 1631. In 1633 he returned to the Netherlands as the commander of a trading fleet and in the following year married Petronella Buys whose family came from The Hague. A portrait of his wife, dated 1635 (France, private collection) is its pendant. The two portraits were painted during a stay in Amsterdam, when Lucasz. received from the Company the gold chain he wears proudly. In May 1635 Lucasz. returned from Amsterdam to the East Indies. He died at sea in 1641.
Originally, the left hand was included, but was painted over when the portrait was transformed from its original, rectangular format to its present oval shape. This was probably done at the end of the 17th century. | [

Fashion photography is, in its simplest definition, a genre of photography which is devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items to sell. So, not a kind of informational photography but a way to capture the Zeitgeist, the spirit of time, and help to suggest what is attractive and fancied. If we want to compare two photos among them, even though far apart hundred years, we could notice that both talk about a lifestyle. The pose and the outfit don’t express a mental status but they shape it. Sometimes, fashion images appears veiled to us and not easily recognisable, other times they reveal themselves to our gaze on the glossy fashion magazines or on billboards in metropolis, coming to be as well the decoration of our cities and capturing with force and determination the imaginary of each person. They belong to us, but at the same time worldwide and universal, conforming tastes and trends. Fashion photography arose to be quickly exhausted. | [

The prime source of energy in Israel is Natural Gas. Natural Gas in Israel is mainly utilized for the production of electricity, and for a range of other industries. Nevertheless, both oil & gas in Israel carries significant importance in terms of consumption.
The production of Natural gas in Israel began in 2004, from the offshore gas fields. In between the years 2005 to 2012, the Arish-Ashkelon pipeline was used for importing gas into Israel from Egypt. Later during the 2011 – 2014 Egyptian crisis, this gas pipeline was terminated.
As of the year 2014, the Israeli natural gas conglomerate Delek Drilling, has been producing more than 7.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas every year. Currently, there are proven reserves of around 199 billion cubic meters as they have been confirmed at the beginning of the year 2016.
There was a time when Israel depended on other countries for the import of gas and oil. Today, it carries a lot of capacity to becoming independent. This is because a big portion of Israel’s economy is now relying on the natural gas reserves of Israel itself. It is for the very first time that Israel is becoming a major energy exporter, which has created a lot of potential for big profits along with diplomatic benefits. After all, this is bound to improve the relations of Israel with the neighboring countries.
The most important offshore field in Israel is the Leviathan gas field. This gas field is situated about 80 miles away from the coast of Israel, over 5000 feet deep water.
The second most important gas field is the Tamar field. Production of natural gas from this field began in 2013, during March. It has been estimated that around 11.2 trillion cubic feet worth of Natural gas is present in the Tamar field. At the same time, there are about 14.6 million barrels of the condensate. These estimations mean that there is an increase of about 13% in comparison to the estimates made previously.
In the case of oil, Israel gained a major benefit upon signing a peace agreement with its neighbor Egypt. A part of this agreement was a full right over the Alma oil field that is situated in the Southern part of Sinai. This field showed Israel a great potential of becoming independent in terms of energy.
Where Israel is not the significant producer of oil in the region, it is the largest consumer in the eastern Mediterranean region. There are a number of small amounts of refined products that are exported by Israel. The domestic production, however, is virtually nonexistent. 99 percent of the oil demand in Israel is currently met through imported oil.
In the year 2016, during May, it was discovered that there is an oil reservoir that contains about 7 – 11 million barrels worth of oil in the Dead Sea. | [

Steyr Pro X USA
Airgun Sport is the Best source for all your Steyr airgun needs!
Like Steyr Hunting 5 Automatic, Steyr ProX is a semi-automatic compressed air rifle. The bullpup system is set into action, meaning the longer barrel can be installed despite the compact design. The power is adjustable via an outside screw. After opening the magazine cover, the 10-round drum magazine is inserted into the rifle. After pulling the bolt action lever, the magazine is wound by turning.
It has an integrated spring that automatically jumps to the next position after firing a shot. Thus, the ten pellets can be fired semi-automatically at high speed.
The Steyr Pro X system operates with a maximum cartridge pressure of 200 bar. The integrated regulator ensures constant energy. More than 200 shots can be fired with a filled cartridge until you have to go back to your compressed air tank or pump again.
Steyr is an Austrian manufacturer of air pistols, 10-meter match air rifles, and field target air rifles. The many Olympic medals that have been won using Steyr pistols and rifles demonstrate these products' class and exceptional quality.
The Steyr Pro X is a regulated multi-shot and semi-automatic PCP Bullpup air rifle with a beautiful walnut ambidextrous stock.
The 200 bar cylinder, the two-stage match trigger, the 520 mm match barrel, the 10-shot magazine, the Biathlon side lever system, and the extra-long cylinder (more capacity) make this a very accurate PCP air rifle but its also a pleasure to shoot with. The automatic repeating action allows ten quick shots directly out of the magazine.
- Ten quick shots due to the automatic repeating system
- Bounce free system
- Easy handling due to the well-balanced design
- Maximum safety: The pellet is shot directly out of the magazine. No ammunition remains in the barrel when the magazine is removed.
- It is delivered with a long compressed air cylinder and one 10-shot drum magazine in a compact plastic rifle case.
- 520 mm barrel for maximum performance and longer compressed air cylinder for higher capacity
- Ergonomic thumb-hole stock made from nut wood
- total length: 630 mm
- length of barrel: 520 mm
- diameter of barrel: 16 mm
- calibre: 4,5 mm (.177) | 5,5 mm (.22)

A concerted legislative push driven by newly-elected Governor Jay B Pritzker, saw Illinois’ spring session head into overtime, where a last minute gambling expansion and sports betting bill soared through both houses.
Illinois is to become the fifth state to legalise betting this year after both chambers approved a massive gambling expansion bill in the 11th hour of the spring legislative session.
In only the last month, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee and Montana all signed sports betting into law. Illinois’ bill will now add another 12.8 million people to the legal US betting market, while approving half a dozen more casinos, online wagering, and doubling the number of gambling points across the state.
At the time of writing the Governor JB Pritzker (pictured) is still yet to put pen to paper, but has already announced his intention to sign the expansion having budgeted $217m from sports betting alone. The full fiscal impact of the package is pegged for a cool $12bn over six years.
After New York, Illinois is the most important state for the US betting roll-out. The only bigger tickets left (California, Texas and Florida) are still several years down the line, if ever.
Illinois, traditionally not proactive on gambling, was also expected to take far longer to get into shape for sports betting, but expansion came through at the last minute within a flurry of high profile policies (including the legalisation of marijuana) aimed at balancing the books and boosting public infrastructure.
Representative Mike Zalewski had been the driving force behind Illinois betting legislation this year, but was forced to step off at the end of May after declaring a conflict of interest and all his bills failing.
An unlikely turnaround was achieved by representative Robert Rita, who, on the final friday of the session, forged a compromise bill from Zalewski’s drafts, just as lawmakers were being told they’d be voting into the weekend.
By friday night the House was 87-27 in favour of Rita’s bill; by Sunday evening the Senate had approved it by 46-10.
Pritzker hailed the legislative session as one of the most “ambitious and consequential” in the state’s history, breaking four years of gridlock between the former GOP governor Bruce Rauner and a Democrat-controlled legislature.
“For the first time in many years, we met our most basic responsibility in this state — a real balanced budget,” Pritzker said on the final day of votes. “A few years ago, just passing a budget was considered nearly impossible. But this year, by passing a balanced budget, we’ve demonstrated that a progressive, forward-thinking vision is in perfect harmony with fiscal responsibility.”
Tax revenues for the gambling bill, which allows for one large Chicago casino, six smaller suburban casinos, as well as slots in airports and race tracks, has already been slated for state construction projects, such as new roads, bridges and public buildings.
Sports betting licences will be available to tracks, casinos and sports venues, with licence fees based on revenues, ranging from $3.2m to $10m. Wagering is to be taxed at 15 percent, and players will have to register in-person for online betting during the first 18- months.
Question marks remain over bad actor clauses debated in the weeks leading up to approval. Certain key stakeholders requested that any firm found to have been operating illegally in Illinois, prior to the market launch, be denied a licence for the first three years.
The clause is specifically designed to exclude DFS operators FanDuel and DraftKings from the new market, who have both been present in the state for several years, arguing their product is a game of skill not chance. However, given at least one state judge has disagreed with the distinction, the DFS duopolies could be denied early entry. | [

Pictured: The 12-year-old boy charged with murder for stabbing a boy, nine, to death on the playground then called police to say 'please pick me up'
- Jamarion Lawhorn, 12, will be tried as an adult in juvenile court
- His mother rubbed his back and wiped away his tears as he pleaded not guilty to murder charges
- His lawyer has asked for a psychological evaluation
- Michael 'Conner' Kerkerke, nine, died at a hospital after being stabbed in the back with a kitchen knife
The 12-year-old boy who allegedly stabbed a 9-year-old playmate to death on a Michigan playground has been identified as Jamarion Lawhorn.
Police say that after he stabbed Michael 'Conner' Verkerke in a Kentwood, Michigan, trailer park on Monday night, Jamarion called 911 and confessed - telling police dispatchers 'Hi. I just stabbed somebody. Please pick me up.'
The Grand Rapids Press reports that Jamarion sobbed and trembled as he appeared in court on Tuesday to face murder charges. Even the prosecutor, who has opted to try him in juvenile court as an adult, remarked that he looked 'tiny' and younger than his age.
His mother appeared in court with him and wiped away his tears and rubbed his back to comfort him, according to the newspaper.
Shocking: Jamarion Lawhorn, 12, is charged with murder. He will be tried as an adult in juvenile court. Even prosecutors said he looked small and young for his age
Horrific: Michael 'Conner' Verkerke died Monday night after being stabbed in the back multiple times and he and friends played on a playground near his home
Police Jamarion didn't know Conner before the attack. They say the two boys had been playing together when Jamarion pulled a knife out of the sand and stabbed Conner multiple times in the back
Jamarion's lawyer entered a 'not guilty' plea and asked that the boy undergo a psychological examination to determine if he is fit to stand trial.
The 12-year-old did, however, tell a judge that he understood the charges against him.
Under Michigan law, Jamarion could be given a 'blended' sentence if he is convicted, which would keep him in a juvenile detention facility until he is 21. After that, a judge would determine whether he should be released or sent to adult prison.
Police say that Jamarion's attack on Conner was unprovoked and inexplicable. He didn't know Conner before the attack and had joined the 9-year-old and two friends on the playground.
Suddenly, he pulled a knife out of the sand and stabbed Conner multiple times in the back, authorities say. Police aren't saying where Jamarion got the weapon.
Conner ran to his home house nearby and collapsed on the porch. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition an died hours later.
Authorities say Jamarion is the youngest child ever charged with murder in Kent County - and one of the youngest in the state of Michigan. An 11-year-old boy was convicted of killing his mother's boyfriend in 1997 in Pontiac, Michigan.
Horrific: A 9-year-old boy died at the hospital after being attacked on the playground by a 12-year-old, police say. He was stabbed at least once in the back with a kitchen knife
Random: Police say the 12-year-old didn't know the young boy he attacked and he didn't live in the trailer park near the playground
Witness Glen Stacy told the Press he was doing yard work when Jamarion approached him and asked to borrow his cell phone. Mr Stacy said he assumed the child was calling him mother. Instead the 12-year-old called cops and admitted to a brutal crime.
Mr Stacy says the boy told police: 'I want to die. I don’t want to be on this earth anymore. Please pick me up.'
He says Jamarion told him that he lashed out because he had 'taken many pills' and nobody loved him.
The 12-year-old was eerily calm and patiently waited for police, Mr Stacy told the Press.
Witness: Glen Stacy says the 12-year-old suspect asked to borrow his cell phone then called 911 and admitted he had killed
He only became animated when police finally arrived - and didn't immediately arrest him. Mr Stacy said the first emergency personnel went to the playground to help the victim. This upset the boy.
'Hello. I’m right here. You’re going the wrong way,' Jamarion shouted as officers arrived.
When police did finally come for him, he walked toward the cops with his hands out in front of him - showing he wanted to be handcuffed.

TNT Equivalency Evaluation of Test Methods
COMPUTER SCIENCES CORP NSTL STATION MS
Pagination or Media Count:
There are standardized methods for determining TNT Equivalency. With modern measurement instrumentation, it is possible to be more precise in obtaining pressure and impulse values because of greater resolution and accuracy. Preliminary results of recent cast TNT hemispherical tests indicate that new peak pressure values versus scaled distances could shift the standard TNT reference curve to the right. Airblast parameters measured on 44 explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics indicated higher peak pressure and impulse values, due primarily to geometries, reflecting surface, and state-of-the-art instrumentation systems.

Here in the Philippines, the word “lawyer” is usually associated with an old man wearing a Barong Tagalog. Although I truly believe that the “old guy” part is a misconception (as majority of the practicing trial lawyers I have encountered these days are below 40 years old), the “Barong Tagalog” portion clearly has basis. Despite the fact that there are two accepted court outfits for male lawyers in this country — the Barong Tagalog and the suit — most guys wear barongs not just when going to court but also as their everyday getup.
What is a Barong Tagalog?
Every Filipino knows what a Barong Tagalog is. Simply called “Barong”, it is derived from the words “Baro ng Tagalog”, which literally translates to “Dress of the Filipinos”. Obviously, the Barong is the traditional formal dress for Filipino men. It is a collared, usually long-sleeved, semi-transparent shirt with u-shaped embroidered patterns at the front. The barong is worn untucked over a plain undershirt. Although the outfit comes in all kinds of colors, the traditional and its most common color is white.
There are different kinds of barongs, based on the fabric used:
- THE “PINA” BARONG is the most expensive kind as they are made from the pineapple or pina It is very thin and, therefore, transparent. Thus, unless you are going to a bachelor’s party or you want people to see your nipples sticking out, an undershirt must be worn over this kind of barong.
- THE “JUSI” BARONG is made from mechanically woven silk. It looks very similar to the pina Personally, except for the fact that the jusi is a little whiter than the pina, I cannot really tell the difference between the two.
- GUSOT MAYAMAN is the kind of barong most commonly used as an everyday getup. The word “gusot” means “crumpled” while “mayaman” means “wealthy”. So what does gusot mayaman translate to? Crumpled wealthy? Wealthily crumpled? Crumpled and wealthy? I really don’t know. However, I do know why it is named so. This kind of Barong is made from linen, which is easily crumpled. I believe that the person who coined the term “gusot mayaman” did so as a defense mechanism. Imagine walking around in a terribly crumpled shirt. The first thing people would say is that you are so poor that you don’t even have money to buy a better outfit. Well, all you have to say is that you are wearing “gusot mayaman”. My barong may be crumpled, but I am wealthy.
Of the three types of barongs, the gusot mayaman is most commonly worn by lawyers in court. Every now and then, you will come across a lawyer wearing a jusi or even a pina barong. However, this is very rare and these lawyers are usually teased and asked if they are about to get married. This is because pina and jusi barong is more commonly worn during weddings.
Why Lawyers Choose the Barong over the Suit
As mentioned, most lawyers prefer wearing the Barong Tagalog when attending court hearings rather than the suit. I guess the main reason is because of tradition. The Barong, after all, is very Filipino. Moreover, it is very easy to wear. It’s just like wearing a shirt. You just have to put it on and you’re done.
Call me unpatriotic or whatever. But for me, I prefer the suit over the barong. I, however, am clearly the exception rather than the rule. About ninety percent of the lawyers I talked to not only dislike wearing a suit in court, they despise it. I asked them why and these are the reasons they gave me:
- An expensive everyday wear – A good Barong, especially the gusot mayaman type, would cost about a thousand pesos. The cheapest suit, on the other hand, would cost around five thousand. Obviously, the suit is five times more expensive than the barong. On top of this, the barong can be hand or machine washed while the suit has to be dry-cleaned. Hence, the suit is not only expensive to acquire, it is also expensive to maintain. And, consider that you need at least five suits to get you thru the week. Do the math. No wonder most people use the suit only for special occasions.
- An insane outfit for a tropical country – When I say tropical, I mean hot. As in really hot. Here, the average day is about 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. A short walk from the office parking lot | [

Fox’s event series “24: Live Another Day” has replaced Judy Davis with Michelle Fairley (“Game of Thrones”) in the recurring guest star role of Margot, a British national and the widow of a notorious terrorist.
The news broke last week that Davis, who lives in Australia, had to withdraw from the project due to personal family matters which will not allow her to travel at the time needed.
The 12-episode miniseries reunites the Emmy Award-winning team of executive producer Howard Gordon; star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland; co-creator Robert Cochran; executive producers, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Brian Grazer and director Jon Cassar.
Sutherland, Benjamin Bratt, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Tate Donovan, William Devane and others star in the revived Fox series, which will take place in London this time around.
“24: Live Another Day” kicks-off May 5 on Fox.
Fairley is represented by Paradigm. | [

Doughnut Day, aka Donut Day, celebrates one of the most popular desserts in American cuisine. This holiday was started by The Salvation Army in 1938 to raise money and to recognize the women, affectionately called “Doughnut Dollies”, who made doughnuts for soldiers during WW1 in France. These women wanted to provide the soldiers with baked goods but had limited resources and often insufficient space to do so. Frying dough was something that they could do in the small huts they occupied and with limited supplies, so that’s what they started to do. This holiday is celebrated on the first Friday in June. You can celebrate it by eating as many doughnuts as you can. You might even be able to get doughnuts for free: many popular doughnut shops give them away or have special discounts on this day. | [

Are you compassionate towards yourself? It may be easy to treat someone else with love and understanding, but how is it when is about your own fails, sufferings and flaws? Do you treat yourself kindly, with understanding and love, or do you put yourself down and turn on your self-critical voice in your head?
Self-compassion is different from self-pity - this one many people are afraid of, and, when they mistake compassion for pity, people leave compassion out of use. Self-compassion is "simply" turning one's compassion to oneself, and has three basic ingredients: self-kindness, that is being kind and warm towards oneself; common-humanity, that is recognizing that your pain and imperfections are part of the human experience; and mindfulness, that is a non-judgemental stance towards emotions, in a balanced and not extreme way.
Here you can test your level of self-compassion!

Corollary 2.6. Suppose Chow's condition holds. The topology defined by the sub-Riemannian distance d is the original topology of M
2.4. Direct, effective proofs of Chow's theorem
So, by Ascoli-Arzela theorem, P is a compact subset of C([O, T], M).
It follows that the length functional attains its infimum on P. In other words, there exists a path with length T = d(q, q') joining q to q'. • Remarks. 1. We do not assert, either that for q, q' belonging to B(p, c) the geodesic joining q and q' is unique, or that it is contained in B (p, c).
See the examples in §3.
2. Assuming Chow's condition, the conclusion of (ii) holds, in several important cases: when M is compact, when M = ]Rn and the Xi are bounded, and when M is a Lie group and the Xi are left-invariant vector fields. Indeed, M is complete in these three cases.
2.4. Direct, effective proofs of Chow's theorem
At this point, it is impossible not to mention the existence of proofs of Chow's Theorem, more effective than the one we have given.
Here and in the sequel, it will be convenient to note on the right the action of diffeomorphisms: the action of etX on point p will result in p etx. This notation is consistent with our notation for the concatenation of paths, and complies with the fact that all diffeomorphisms we shall use on Lie groups in the sequel come from flows of left-invariant vector fields, and so are defined by right multiplications.
For the case n
=2, where one assumes that Xl, X2 and [Xl, X2 ]
span the tangent space at p, one proves that the mapping
where we write tl / 2 for sgn(t)IW/2, is tangent to the mapping (tl' t2, t3) f---7 peilXlet2X2et3[Xl,X2]
at t = O. This shows that the end-point mapping Ep is open at the origin. At the same time one gets local estimates for the sub-Riemannian distance: given any Riemannian metric b, there exist a neighbourhood U of p and constants C, C' such that
Cb(q,q'):S d(q,q'):S C'b(q,q')1/2
2.5 TANGENT SPACE IN SUB-RIEMANNIAN GEOMETRY 21
for any q, q' in U.
The effective proof of Chow's theorem in case n
=2 is based on Campbell-Hausdorff formula (see Lobry ). It can be generalized to all cases where Chow's condition holds (see Gromov, this volume), and one gets similar estimates with 1/2 replaced by l/r, where r is the smallest integer for which the tangent space is spanned by brackets of length ::; r of Xl,...,Xm (the degree of nonholonomy, see §4.1). We shall prove more precise estimates in Section 7.
Observe that mappings such as (11) give a mean to construct a non-differentiable section, actually H6lderian of order 1/2, of the end-point map.
2.5. Accessibility does not depend on the class of controls used The set of points accessible from a given point in M by means of control functions belonging to any reasonable class of control functions, ranging from piecewise constant to L1, is independent of the class of controls used.
More precisely, we have the following theorem.
Theorem 2.8. Let C be a class of control functions such that C ([0, TJ, ~m) is a dense subspace in L1 ([0, T], ~m). Then any point ac-cessible from p is acac-cessible from p by means of controls of class C.
Proof. Let q be a point accessible from p. Using Lemma 2.2, choose a normal control u E L1([0, T], ~m) steering p to q. For simplicity, we denote Ep,T by 7f. Since u is normal, the linear mapping
d7ru : L1 -+ TqAp
is surjective. Fix a sequence of finite-dimensional spaces
of C([O, Tj, ~m), with strictly increasing dimension, such that
UHk is dense in L1. (The existence of such a sequence of subspaces stems from the separability of L1.) For some integer ko, we have
Choose a linear subspace V of Hko' of the same dimension as Ap, such that one has still

The spin bonus basically will come in the form of spins you can play while you are playing on the website. Here are several of the spins that you will be able to participate in while you are on the spin casino trial offer.
The first spin casino reward that you can get is the spinslice bonus. There are three lures you will be able to use while with this website and each one of these gives you a free of charge spin. This means that it is possible to play all the slots on the website for free. New players are only rewarded with 2,000 spins right from the start, making them better than almost all of the other players who’ve been on the website for a while. This can be utilized by any new player provided that they have not hit a certain jackpot yet on the site.
Another of the spin casino bonuses that you’ll want to benefit from may be the loyalty points. As you get more points, it will be possible to earn much more rewards. These loyalty points may be used for spins, as well as for other activities like tickets as well as money. Many people would rather play the slots on the loyalty points rather than on a paytable as the rewards are much better when working with these on the loyalty points. However, also you can use your points to buy spins whenever you believe that you need a little extra money.
Among the things that you may also do while you are on the spin casino may be the free spin button. It is a feature that’s available on nearly every single casino that provides online casinos. When you press the free spin button, it will be possible to play as a new player without ever having to put money into your account. This is a wonderful thing for any new player to try out and revel in.

THE Province’s second quarterly results confirm B.C.’s economy is strong and sustainable, with continued resiliency against global uncertainty and long-term planning that invests in people, says the NDP.
“Our government continues to show that investing in people while being strong fiscal managers is not only possible, it is fundamental to building a resilient economy,” said Carole James, Minister of Finance, on Tuesday. “With careful planning and foresight built into every stage of our fiscal plan, B.C. is well prepared to weather the global storm, while delivering on our commitments to make life better for people.”
British Columbia continues to lead Canada as the only province with a triple-A credit rating from the three major international rating agencies. The Province remains an economic leader, with the lowest unemployment rate in the country, continued wage growth, among the lowest debt-to-GDP ratios for all provinces and a balanced budget that includes historic investments in child care, housing and infrastructure.
“Thanks to responsible, long-term fiscal management, our economy is resilient,” James said. “We are eliminating medical service plan premiums to deliver the largest middle-class tax cut in a generation, along with transformative investments in child care and housing, and building a greener future.”
The second quarter update maintains the government’s $500-million forecast allowance and increases contingency funding to $550 million to mitigate against potential risks to the budget, including ICBC and the forest sector.
* The second quarter outlook for 2019-20 forecasts a surplus of $148 million.
* An additional $100 million has been added to contingencies funding, bringing the total to $550 million. The full $500 million forecast allowance has been maintained.
* In 2019-20, the taxpayer-supported debt-to-GDP ratio projection improved to 14.6%, and the taxpayer-supported debt-to-revenue ratio is forecast to improve to 78.9%.
* B.C. led the provinces with the lowest unemployment rate for nearly two years – one of the longest periods of having the lowest unemployment in more than a decade.
* British Columbia’s real GDP growth is expected to rank among the top provinces again in 2019 and 2020 according to private-sector forecasters. As published in the First Quarterly Report, the Ministry of Finance forecasts 1.7% real GDP growth this year and 1.9% growth in 2020.
* In October, Standard and Poor’s reaffirmed B.C.’s ‘AAA’ long-term, stable rating. | [

.22 Winchester Centerfire (.22 WCF) is a small centerfire cartridge introduced in 1885 for use in the Winchester Model 1885 single-shot rifle. Factory manufacture of ammunition was discontinued in 1936. The.22 WCF was loaded with a 45 grain bullet with a muzzle velocity of about 1550 feet per second, similar to the performance of the.22 Winchester Rimfire (.22 WRF) designed in 1890.
Experimentation with the.22 WCF among civilian wildcatters and the U.S. military at Springfield Armory in the 1920s led to the development of the.22 Hornet cartridge. | [

But fear not, for the next lunar eclipse will be seen by the US as soon as January 2019.
NASA said: “North Americans, don’t worry.
“If skies are clear, you can see the next lunar eclipse on January 21, 2019.”
The agency added the January eclipse will also be seen by Britons, who after tonight will enjoy a double-whammy of space action come winter.
They said: “The eclipse will be visible to North Americans, South Americans, and most of Africa and Europe.”
The eclipse tonight lasted nearly three hours and was the longest of its kind to grace our skies during the 21st century.
Stargazers looked up in awe as the total eclipse lasted one hour, 42 minutes and 57 seconds, with the moon remaining red from 8.49pm to 10.13pm.
Though sadly, thunderstorms across the UK have made it nearly impossible for it to be seen by Britons, who no doubt will wait in anticipation for the next lunar event.
The cause of the Blood Moon, technically an eclipse in itself, is when the planet passes through the shadow cast by Earth.
This bizarre effect is known as ‘Rayleigh scattering’, which filters out bands of green and violet light in the atmosphere during an eclipse leaving just a red glow.
Noah Petro, project scientst at NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, said: “During a lunar eclipse, the temperature swing is so dramatic that it’s as if the surface of the moon goes from being in an oven to being in a freezer in just a few hours.”
Lunar eclipses occur on average two to four times a year when the moon passes into the Earth’s shadow.
In order for a lunar eclipse to be visible, you must be located on the night side of the Earth, facing the moon when the Earth passes in between the Moon and the Sun.
Professor Mark Birkinshaw of Bristol University commented on the lunar eclipse, stating: “Although the moon is in the shadow of the Earth, no direct sunlight is expected to hit the moon, the sun illuminates the Earth’s atmosphere and that causes some of the sunlight to be scattered in the direction of the moon.
“So the moon gets a lot fainter because the area of the atmosphere around the edge of the Earth is a lot lower than the edge of the Earth.
“The moon also gets a lot redder because the light gets deviated as it goes through the atmosphere and tends to be red.
“It’s like looking at the sun at sunset – it goes red because the light goes through a dusty, murky atmosphere, and that is the light that gets through to the moon.
“That light gets reflected back and we can see the moon change colour.” | [

House Bill 1171South Dakota Justifiable Homicide Bill Under Fire as Critics Say It Invites Murder of Abortion Doctors
February 15, 2011 5:54 PM
A bill scheduled for debate on the floor of the South Dakota House of Representatives Tuesday has been labeled by a group representing abortion clinics as "an invitation to murder abortion providers."
House Bill 1171 would expand the legal definition of justifiable homicide in the state. Critics said the measure legalizes the killing of abortion providers by saying a homicide is permissible if committed by a person "while resisting an attempt to harm" an unborn fetus.
"The bill introduced in South Dakota is an invitation to murder abortion providers," Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation, the professional association of abortion providers, told CBS Radio News. "It would actually legalize murder."
This strikes home as my sister was stalked and assaulted by the bio-father for refusing to abort. In her 3rd month of pregnancy, the man beat the **** out of her. he would have finished the job if it weren't for a neighbor who heard the fight and intervened. While my sister with her unborn daughter Adrian lived through it, it wasn't from a lack of this man trying. The assault gave Adrian a permanent behavioral disorder, night terrors, and other problems; and compounded my sister's PTSD."Let's say an ex-boyfriend finds out his ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his baby and decides to beat on her abdomen to kill the unborn child," Jensen told Reuters. "This is an illegal act and the purpose of this bill is to bring continuity to South Dakota code as it relates to the unborn child."
Pregnant women, having the right to bodily sovereignty, should be free to use lethal to defend themselves and their children no differently than she can use lethal force to stop a rape. | [

Landscaping is when you rearrange things in your yard look much better. It must also be practical and create space for the homeowner. While this seems like a lot of things to take in, read on for some simple tips that can help you to create a plan that meets all of your criteria.
Curved borders create much more contemporary and up-to-date than sharp corners and straight lines.
When landscaping, you must know the difference between perennials and annuals, you also want to know what kind of shrubs, plant, and shrubs work best in certain geographical areas and under certain climates. You need to also think about what season it is when planning your landscape layout. It is important that you know this information in order to get the best results from your landscaping experience.
Make the most of your yard look beautiful all year by creating a garden that incorporates all seasons. Select a wide variety of plants, autumn, according to the region in which you live. You can use trees with cool foliage or evergreens which keep your yard looking nice all year.
Include several different plant species when you plan the look of your yard or garden. This is a vital thing to do to protect your yard against both diseases and diseases. If you plant the same plants, they may all perish in such an episode. Diversity is crucial for plant life is an important part of landscaping.
Consider the structures that are already in place before beginning any landscape project. Make sure to locate underground cables, water lines, and air conditioners are positioned so that your landscaping modifications don’t infringe upon them. Call your city before digging to ensure underground lines.
Leave grass clippings where they fall after you mow it.
It is often prudent to go with certain items. You do want to purchase quality tools that won’t break easily, or even some plants. It is very important that you be sure to look over the plants. Places that sell them at a reduced price might not have provided them the care that they need.
A great way to help plants is to use peat moss. Peat moss gives your plants lots of nutrients that they may not offer. It also make your landscaping look more attractive contrast to it.
Use curved borders on your plantings when you are landscaping your yard. These rounded borders are less formal and more visually appealing than straight ones. When your house is seen from the street, these curved lines help soften straight lines in your landscape, like your house and driveway.
Mulch is a smart addition if you are incorporating flower beds.Mulch provides a protective layer that they can survive in warmer weather. Mulch helps your plants to have the water they need to survive.
Choose locations carefully before you are planning your landscaping project. You have to place plants and beds in the right areas to help them thrive to their potential. You need to consider the weather exposure, wind, and wind exposure a plant will receive in a given area.
Do not overlook the havoc that certain kinds of landscaping features can wreak on your home and lawn. If you don’t pay attention, you may find that the roots from your plants could interfere with any underground piping you have. Take all of the possibilities into consideration as you carefully plan your landscaping plan.
Soil type is a big factor in your landscaping efforts. Some plants don’t grow well in a certain type of soil. If you see that some plants aren’t growing, you may wish to substitute another type or you may opt to build beds with wood chips or mulch products.
Use ground cover plants to fill in bare spaces and to add color to your larger plants. They add depth, color and dimension of your landscape.
Learn everything you can about design techniques. For instance, use a few larger plants as anchors throughout your yard design, to build a sense of continuity in your landscaping. The textures of different plant leaves and branches also important variation and contrast to your design. There are a lot of resources that can help you with your landscaping.
Choose a good fertilizer for use in your yard. Try to stick with one universal fertilizer for everything you’ve planted to ensure that you don’t have two competing products causing possible damage where they meet. Test out various products and look at reviews to see which fertilizers are best for your specific needs. It is wise to fertilize your soil nutrient levels before you start actively landscaping your yard.

Will the Use of Helicopter Taxis Take Off in Colorado?
The way humans get around has evolved significantly over the last century. From a country that once used horse-and-buggies as the main mode of transportation to people now having the option to charter private planes, drive an electric vehicle, or even hop onto a stray scooter sitting on the sidewalk and go – getting to places quickly is easier now than ever before.
Modern transportation has also brought forth the idea of ride-sharing. While taxis were once the only choice, newer companies like Uber and Lyft, have made it possible for people to book a driver easily and quickly with the press of a button. These ride-share services safely transport passengers from Point A to Point B and allow both the user and driver to rate each other based on the experience.
In 2019, Uber elevated their ride-sharing services even higher, when the company announced they'd now be offering helicopters as a type of transportation to choose from on the public platform. As of now, UberCopter is only available in New York City, with flights to and from John F. Kennedy Airport.
Following in Uber's footsteps, another company called Blade Helicopter, started offering on-demand heli-transportation for users in participating cities. The places where Blade is currently available are New York City, the Hamptons, and Nantucket, as well as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Aspen, and the Jersey coast.
Although Aspen is the only Colorado city on the list right now offering this type of air taxi service, that could possibly change in years to come. Could you imagine being able to avoid I-25 traffic during rush hour to get to DIA?
Another company, Joby Aviation, is working on its own airborne-based commercial transit service.
Prices vary depending on who the helicopter flight is booked through. However, in all cases, the transit time is incredibly faster than when traveling by car.
Using helicopters for urban air transportation may soon become an increasingly popular option. As innovative businesses begin to make this idea easier and more accessible in more cities across the country, it's likely this mode of transportation will continue to take off in many more places.
The idea seems futuristic, but look how far we've already come. | [

(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))
LONDON, 5th January 2017 (WAM) – UAE-based NMC Health was the best-performing company in the top-rank FTSE 100 Index on the London Stock Exchange yesterday, following an announcement of two major deals in the UAE, worth a total of US$250 million, and the completion of two deals in Saudi Arabia.
Shares in the company, listed as NMC.L, rose by 4.5 percent to 30.8 pounds sterling.
In the UAE, NMC Health acquired the outstanding 49 percent minority stake in Fakih IVF for US$205 million, having originally bought a 51 percent stake from the company's founder, Dr. Michael Fakih, in 2015. It now plans to continue to expand its fertility network, from the new IVF clinics opened in UAE and Oman last year, with additional expansion planned in other countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, to maintain a market leading position, a company statement said.
The second UAE deal was the acquisition of the outstanding 30 percent minority stake in As Salama Hospital for a price of US$45 million. NMC Health bought 70 percent of As Salama Hospital in 2016.
The company statement also announced the completion of two deals in Saudi Arabia, originally announced last September, a 60 percent stake in the Al Qadhi Hospital in Najran and a 100 percent stake in the Al Rashid Hospital in Ha'il, for a total consideration of US$40 million.

Plotting a new trajectory is never a simple task. Just ask Dave Doody, a senior engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
A recent image of the Sun, captured by NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. (Photo courtesy of NASA.)
Doody is the lead flight engineer of NASA’s Cassini Solstice Mission, a mission in which the Cassini spacecraft is gathering and sending back information on the planet Saturn, its rings, moons and magnetosphere. Once a year, he also teaches Basics of Interplanetary Flight at Art Center at Night (ACN), a course in which curious students from all walks of life explore what it takes to navigate spacecraft across the solar system.
We recently trekked across the arroyo to JPL to ask Doody about his class.
Dotted Line: What do you explore in Basics of Interplanetary Flight?
Doody: We look at results from NASA’s probes, whether it’s from Voyager, the Mars Exploration Rovers, Cassini or the others. In each session we touch on a few other topics as well. We ask a lot of questions like: What is the spacecraft all about? How does it work? What are all its pieces and what do they do? How do you design it? How does it travel?
We also explore the environment that it has to operate in, whether it’s the vacuum in space or plasma from the sun. Can the spacecraft go straight to its destination in the solar system or does it have to follow certain pathways?
And we cover the up-and-coming spacecraft and anything that’s happening right now, like a launch or a landing. We also touch on some historical information.
Dotted Line: What kind of students do you get in the class?
Doody: Of course we get some students from Art Center, both undergraduates and graduates.
We also get filmmakers and transportation designers. But the class is not just limited to artists and designers. It’s wide open to the public, so we get everyone from surgeons to secretaries. Anybody can take the class.
We don’t depend on any previous experience or knowledge. We just need people who are interested in the fact that today we’re looking at new worlds. And we’re looking at them with robots that have new senses on them. These robots can see not only in visual light but also in infrared and ultraviolet. And they also have expanded sensory regions, so they can analyze magnetic fields and high-energy particles.
Dotted Line: In class you discuss the different types of sensors found on spacecraft?
Doody: Yes, but we’re not just discussing. This course takes place after dinner after all! We get into all sorts of activities where the students are experimenting and seeing how different sensors work. I try to keep it interesting and informative and get everybody working together and talking to one another.
Dotted Line: Give me an example of the type of activity you do in class.
Doody: Well, once you leave the Earth, you’re outside the magnetic bubble that protects us from the Sun, which is constantly shedding protons and electrons, which we call the solar wind. In fact, if the magnetic field on Earth were to vanish, the Sun’s solar wind would blow off the atmosphere, dry off the oceans and there’d be little hope for life.
It’s not the easiest concept to grasp, so I bring some plasma, which are highly charged particles, into the classroom. And the students take a very strong magnet and they can actually see how magnetic fields interact with plasma. It’s real simple and helps illustrate this environmental concept. And that’s what I try to do with the course in general. I try to take something abstract, put it right in your face and let you play with it. | [

The Chitimacha Louisiana golf tournament spreads the wealth to all the right places.
The Chitimacha Louisiana golf tournament spreads the wealth to all the right places. By Dan McDonald
Friday, March 1, 2013
There are a lot of Acadiana-area sports fans and civic-minded individuals who have never been to the Chitimacha Louisiana Open, and that's a shame. They don't know what they're missing.
For those who follow sports, the area's premier professional sports event provides the chance to see the highest level of golf that most will ever view in person. The tournament is the first U.S. stop on the PGA Tour's Web.com Tour, which was known as the Nationwide Tour until last summer, and it's no coincidence that three out of four PGA Tour members have roots on the Web.com Tour. Former Web.com Tour players have won 345 times on the PGA Tour.
For those who take pride in the area, the Louisiana Open is one of only two events staged by the PGA Tour in Louisiana. The other is the annual Zurich Classic in New Orleans.
For those who revel in dollars, the Open's $550,000 purse - tying its largest in history - makes it the state's richest professional sports event outside of New Orleans.
And for those who like their dollars to do good in their community, the Open should be among your favorite events of the year, and not just among sporting events.
Those in charge of the Louisiana Open have long taken pride in the funds the tournament raises for local charities. In its 21 years, more than $4 million has been doled out to hundreds of different groups, most of them youth-related.
Former longtime tournament Chairman Dr. John Hendry was the standard bearer in making the event charitably significant through its first decade as part of a national tour. Chairman Harry Patin and Open Executive Director Danny Jones have continued those efforts, with more than $1.9 million in actual dollars going to local and regional charitable causes in the past nine years.
Patin has since stepped back from day-to-day tournament operations, leaving it in the capable hands of Chairman Will Arledge, but Patin still serves as chairman emeritus - and still gets choked up when he talks about the Open's mission.
"I tell people all the time we're not in the golf tournament business," he says. "We're in the business of raising money for the charities and for the kids. When you know there's a kid somewhere that is safe tonight, that has a roof over his head and has a hot meal, and some of that is due to this tournament, it reminds you that what we're doing is important."
From the Boys and Girls Clubs of Acadiana to the Children's Shelter of Acadiana Youth, from Make-a-Wish to the Animal Rescue Foundation, and from high school bands to golf-promotion organizations, the list of benefitting charities and groups is a long one.
But for most, it's not just a matter of accepting a check. Many of those groups are actively involved in staging the tournament. In large part, the Open helps those who help themselves.
"Most of the charities that receive funds are out here working," Patin says. "They're driving shuttle vans, picking up trash, selling T-shirts. I'd guess 98 percent of the money that goes to charity goes to ones that do something to help the tournament.
"They're not looking for a handout, just a hand up. It's an unusual model for the Tour, but it works for us."
Dozens of tournament sponsors help provide that charity money, but the two mainstays locally remain Le Triomphe Golf & Country Club and the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana.
Le Triomphe will again host the Open from March 21-24 (pre-tournament activities actually begin at the course on Sunday, March 17), just as it has for the previous 21 years. Club owner Mike Maraist pumped nearly $4 million into a total course renovation nine years ago to bring Le Triomphe up to Tour standards, and he and its members will again graciously give up their course for a week so that the 144 pros can shoot for their share of history.
The Chitimacha Tribe has been involved as a tournament sponsor since its early days and has been the title sponsor for over a decade, pumping significant revenue from Cypress Bayou Casino & Hotel into the tournament each year to support the Open's mission. This year, with the tribe still hurting from January's tragic shooting death of Tribal Police Sergeant Rick Riggenbach, it's even more special for the Chitimacha's contributions to the Open and its charities to be celebrated.
Community pride and benefits aside, it's a fun week, and you can't beat the golf. You won't see this year's world top | [

These are just a few of my favorite products I’m currently obsessing over that are in my makeup kit!
First off, let’s start with the Patrick Ta Major Dimensions III Palette. To say that i’m obsessed with this palette is a major (pun intended 😉 understatement! This matte palette has a gorgeous combination of cool and warm toned neutrals. I actually LOVE mixing cool and warm tones together! The pigmentation on this palette is a dream, and as a bonus, it comes with 2 cream shades- brown and black. You can use them as a base to the powder shadows or as a liner- I do both!
Next, we have the stunning Hourglass Face Palette (holiday limited edition). It comes with 3 beautiful blush shades, 1 bronzer, 1 highlight, and 1 all over shimmery face powder. The pigmentation is incredible- the colors go on beautifully on the skin and they feel buttery soft! I love using this on my eyes too, specifically the bronzer and the highlighter. They have different shades to suit different skin colors. You really can’t go wrong with this palette!
And here is a list of other products i’m loving right now that are not pictured:
- Charlotte Tilbury Lipsticks in the shades “Pillow Talk,” “Wedding Bells” and “Kim K.W”- A little trick I do that makes for the most stunning color ever is putting “Wedding Bells” on the corner of the lips and then applying “Kim K.W” in the middle for a gorgeous pout!
- Charlotte Tilbury Lip Liners in shades “Iconic Nude” and “Love Trap” – The trick I shared with you above lined with “Iconic Nude” is chefs kiss
- Saie Glowy Super Gel in the shade “Starglow” – this highlight is the perfect product for that “glass skin” trend. A little goes a long way and make sure to pat it on with your fingers, not a brush or sponge!
- Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer and Skin Perfector- These 2 products are absolute gold together. First, you use the Skin Enhancer. This is a cream contour and you would apply it to the areas where you normally contour. Then you would apply the Skin Perfector over top of the cream contour, like a bronzer, and it gives your skin the most beautiful, sun-kissed glow!

"Overall, at $39.95 for a hardback book, Everhart’s book is more than just a fun read. It is a reference book for the fauna of the Cretaceous and, for that reason, the price is a steal for the scientific information housed within these pages. The book also does a great job of delivering valuable, detailed information about the specimens... Many authors would probably skip some of these important details since they are very cumbersome to manage, but it is obvious to me that Everhart’s years of experience have taught him that sometimes the smallest detail can help another paleontologist now or perhaps even 100 years from now." ―Palaios
"... excellent... Those who are interested in vertebrate palaeontology or in the scientific history of the American mid-west should really get a copy. You will not be disappointed!" ―PalArch's Journal of Vertebrate Palaeontology
"... Oceans of Kansas remains the best and only book of its type currently available. Everhart's treatment of extinct marine reptiles synthesiszes source materials far more readably than any other recent, nontechnical book-length study of the subject.... Everhart is always headed somewhere, and the journey is informed by expertise..." ―Copeia
"... [The book] will be most useful to fossil collectors working in the local region and to historians of vertebrate paleontology.... Recommended." ―Choice
Despite its title, this book is not a general treatment of marine paleoenvironments in Kansas. It is a history of fossil recovery, particularly vertebrates, from the Smoky Hill Chalk, a geologic formation representing a five―million―year slice of time from the Late Cretaceous Period. Ten of the 13 chapters are devoted to specific groups of animals. Each starts with a short fictional day in the life vignette but discusses largely who found what types of fossils when in the Chalk. One may doubt that there is any better historical summary of the discovery of these fossils, but behavioral, ecological, and evolutionary aspects that might interest a wider audience only take center stage sporadically, e.g., in the chapters on mosasaurs and pteranodons. This book is partly biographical since Everhart (curator of paleontology, Sternberg Museum of Natural History, Hays, KS) is an accomplished fossil hunter. It will be most useful to fossil collectors working in the local region and to historians of vertebrate paleontology. The extensive use of anatomical terms without any general explanatory diagrams hinders access by nonspecialists at times. The 40 pages of references at the end likewise cater more to those with paleontological expertise than to a general readership. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper―division undergraduates through professionals.B. M. Simonson, Oberlin College, 2006jan CHOICE
About the Author
Michael J. Everhart, Adjunct Curator of Paleontology at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays, Kansas, is an expert on the Late Cretaceous of western Kansas. He is the creator of the award-winning "Oceans of Kansas" paleontology website at www.oceansofkansas.com. He lives in Derby, Kansas.
Top Customer Reviews
Particularly fascinating is Everhart's discussion of the famous fossil finders of Kansas: Professor Benjamin Mudge, the Sternberg family (George H., George M., and Charles H.), Theophilus Turner, and Samuel Williston, all of whom provided some of the earliest and finest material from this period now found in Eastern and European museums. Some of their finds formed the type basis of species and genus descriptions for the marine fauna of the age world wide.
Should anyone have the erroneous impression that scientists are totally objective and above petty squabbles, the author's frequent comments on the famous Cope and Marsh and their "bone wars," will totally disabuse you of the notion.

UPDATE 6/8: The course is about to start. Sign up here if interested (it's free to audit, as I'm doing), and if you're taking it, feel free to be in touch.
This course looks promising: "Paradox and Infinity," at EdX, by MIT philosopher Agustín Rayo, and I'm planning to take it as the next step in my online math education. It looks like it will be lively and interesting, for instance based on this earlier clip of some of the material, and I've gotten some assurance from course staff that there will be opportunity to build math skills.
I'm also, when I have a chance, going through the self-paced Calculus One at Coursera, taught by mathematician Jim Fowler of Ohio State University. That's a subject I studied long ago and never really understood. Down the road, I expect to take courses in statistics, probability and more; as an economics major, I learned some statistics, but that was never a strong point of mine either. Given the general level of mathematical interest and knowledge among journalists, I'm hoping to be an outlier. | [

Captivating the city of Toronto with his nuanced movement and heartfelt performances, Tanjot Panesar is known in the improvisation community for his innovation and is recognized as a well-known movement artist.
From opening at Toronto’s largest nightlife concert destination as a dancer for Rajan and Tory Lanez’s collaboration on the song “Maybe”, choreographing movement for Alexander Stewart’s music video, choreographing live stage pieces for “Origins” – a competitive dance team, to traveling across several Canadian cities delivering his “Mindful Movement” workshops, Tanjot proves himself multifaceted and hardworking in various areas.
In the past year, he has performed as the forest element in a sold-out KINAJ live show “Bodies of Nature”, and has showcased his own choreography at “Fever After Dark” capturing the story of freedom through intense and dramatic stage visuals. Using his training in movement styles such as hip-hop, popping, contemporary jazz/fusion, and qi-gong, he has found a unique way of storytelling that is driven by breathwork. Some mentors that have played a crucial role in shaping his movement, mindset, and method are Galen Hooks (Method), Mark Samuels, Joe Tuliao (Illustrative Society), Neil Robles, Peter D’Souza, Chris Clarke, Sorah Yang (ABBD), and Markus Pe Benito.
Tanjot continues to expand his abilities by pursuing acting opportunities in student-led films and in the theatre arts. | [

Distributed, Decentralized, Disintermediating
While still in its infancy with regards to proven capabilities and real-life adoption, blockchain technology remains one of the looming threats for a lot of traditional business models. Its ability to directly connect third parties which can engage in exchanges of assets, data or sharing of resources, blockchain is seen as a force for disintermediation. Removing middle layers in finance, real estate, data management, advertising, service sharing and so on will spell big trouble for companies that have made it their core business to establish themselves as a pillar of trust and act as intermediary for actors in the respective fields, in exchange for a premium that soon may no longer be required.
While telecommunication companies are seen mostly as infrastructure providers, they too are being challenged by blockchain, especially as they try and pivot their offerings to include synergistic digital offerings. For example, blockchain technology can allow people to monetize their unused bandwidth, mobile data cap or even SMS and phone calls, to create alternative communication networks that offer a cheap alternative to telcos, thus eating into their revenue. Another example is how the cheap and fast transfer of digital value enabled by cryptocurrencies make electronic payments settled on the phone bill pale by comparison.
Telcos in the Blockchain Age
The telco industry has systematically been challenged by emerging technologies which threatened its existence. Radio disrupted landlines, messaging disrupted phone calls, the internet challenged communications overall. Instead of trying to fend off the disruptors, telcos welcomed and integrated them, and are now thriving as a result. They successfully shifted from just telephony providers to being reliable infrastructure providers with several digital products & services baked on top.
So it’s no surprise that the telecom industry is welcoming blockchain with open arms. The value of the blockchain tech in telcos as already $46mn in 2018 and that’s expected to rise to $1bn by 2023. That’s partly thanks to early adopters, such as Colt and PCCW, who use blockchain to immediately settle inter-carrier services faster and cheaper, a move that has sparked interest in fellow GLF (Global Leader Forum) members which eventually lead to the creation of a global communications blockchain network.
Telefonica partnered up with IBM to properly record and track international call data such as origin, destination & duration, for increased traceability. South Korean telco providers joined Samsung to create a blockchain-based form of mobile identification. Carriers such as Vodafone and Iliad have taken a step even further and joined Facebook & others in operating the controversial blockchain-based cryptocurrency Libra.
These partnerships and exploration of how blockchain technology can help telcos increase their margins and pivot into new areas are just the beginning. Blockchain technology can provide competing telco operators with the means of sharing expensive resources like communications equipment or even the wireless spectrum, allowing very transparent pay-per-use scenarios that settle immediately.
As the newly released 5G standard becomes the norm, the Internet of Things revolution will become a reality, with almost any conceivable object soon being connected to the internet and sharing data. The inherent challenges related to the security and reliability of the plethora of data all of a sudden abundantly flowing from myriads of devices will also be tackled by blockchain technology, whose cryptographically immutable automation systems will ensure that all participants are protected and trustworthy.
A Push for Better Identity Management
One of the most interesting applications of blockchain technology will certainly be managing identity. Not only does blockchain offer advanced privacy features, but also allows for identity to be associated with value and assets in an unprecedented way. When stored on a distributed ledger, the identity information and associated data are only available to the owner, and can only be shared with their consent, with some interesting features such as zero-knowledge proofs allowing attestation without actually sharing any data, like for example proving you are a resident of a certain district without revealing your name or address.
In order to merge these advanced security features & potential new use cases with the convenience of using a smartphone, China Telecom is exploring a blockchain-enabled SIM card that will merge distributed ledger technology with the latest eSIM standard.
The SIM — Subscriber Identity Module — is a small chip of varying form factors that has a phone number & carrier associated with it. In order to change carriers or phone numbers, users have to swap between different SIM cards, which can be a nuisance for people and a limiting factor for systems using multiple IoT devices.
The emerging eSIM standard embeds all the features of the traditional SIM on a very small programmable chip. This allows phones and devices to seamlessly switch between service providers or even use multiple phone numbers simultaneously, without swapping a card.
China Telecom has recognized the opportunities provided by eSIMs and has begun work on a blockchain SIM-card based on this standard. The programmable memory area in an eSIM will be preloaded with blockchain functionality that allows users and devices to authenticate against blockchains.

What is a Door Contact Sensor
A door contact sensor is a peripheral security sensor that lets an alarm system know whether a door is opened or closed. When a door is opened, the sensor will activate and let the system know about the situation. The system will then respond based on the programming settings for that zone.
Most door contacts operate in a relatively similar manner. They usually consist of two parts - a sensor and a magnet. The sensor is considered more valuable, and certain measures are taken to protect it from damage. This is why the sensor is usually placed on the stationary frame of the door so that it does not move with regular use. The magnet is less valuable, and it can be more easily replaced. It is placed on the moving portion of the door itself. For proper operation the magnet will usually need to be within a half-inch, preferably in direct contact, with the sensor when the door is closed. This is why door sensors are commonly referred to as "door contacts".
Whenever the door is opened, the magnet will move and become separated from the sensor. This will cause a reed switch inside the sensor to activate. Once this happens, the sensor will send an alert to the alarm control panel to let it know that the door has been opened. The system will then respond based on its current arming state, as well as the programming settings for that zone. Some common system responses that can occur with a door being opened can include requiring a system disarm within an entry delay period, triggering an immediate system alarm and producing a simple chime or voice annunciation at the panel.
Door contacts can either be surface-mounted or recessed. A surface-mounted contact will have its sensor and magnet visible from the outside of the door. Surface-mounted contacts are usually easier to install, since no holes need to be drilled. On the other hand, a recessed door sensor and its magnet are inserted into holes that are drilled into the door and its frame. The advantage to using recessed door contacts is that it can be more aesthetically pleasing to having the door sensor and magnet hidden from view.
There is also another special type of recessed contacts called plunger switches. A plunger switch is inserted into a hole that is drilled into the door frame. When the door is closed, the plunger switch will be pressed in. Once the door is opened, the plunger switch is will be released, and the sensor will alert the alarm control panel. An example of a door sensor that uses a plunger switch is the Honeywell 5800RPS.
All door contacts are either hardwired or wireless. Hardwired contacts communicate with the panel through a direct hardwired connection. This means that wires will need to be run, thereby making them more difficult to install. Wireless contacts communicate with the panel through wireless RF signals. They are easier to install, since no wires need to be run. But the downside to wireless contacts is that they run on battery power, and the batteries will need to be replaced every few years, When using wireless door contacts, the user will need to make sure the sensors communicate at a wireless frequency that is compatible with their alarm system. If the system cannot detect signals at the frequency used by the sensor, then the sensor will be unable to communicate with the system, and it cannot be used.

Student Athletes to Get More Money
Once again college athletics has shown its ugly side. While the NCAA is attempting to correct a long history of abusing student-athletes – forcing them to play and practice their chosen sports on a full-time basis while also trying to attend classes, but failing to cover all costs they incur – the schools just can’t seem to let go of the money. The NCAA, thanks to a massive media onslaught as well as numerous members of Congress speaking out, has agreed to increase the money it gives to student athletes to cover their expenses. From now on this should be known as the Shabazz Napier rule, after the UConn guard said he often went to bed hungry at night because the NCAA limited how much food a school could feed its athletes. Napier, like thousands of other college athletes, didn’t have extra money from mom and dad to fill the gap.
Thanks to former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon’s victorious lawsuit against the NCAA, athletes will get about $5,000 dollars apiece now for the use of their likeness in video games and other marketing the school does using their images. So that means more money going to the athletes, the kids who actually attract the crowds and TV audience and puts billions of dollars into the NCAA pockets (which flows down to the schools). The grand total will be around $10,000 per athlete for their image fee and the extra money to be included in a scholarship. Recently University of Texas athletic director Steve Patterson actually had the gall to ask “Where are we going to get that extra money to give to the athletes?” One idea might be to take it out of the millions of dollars that goes to the salaries of the football coaches.
Schools like Texas have no problem paying coaches $4-$5 or even $6 million dollars – with another raise right around the corner if they win a bowl game. But helping out the student athlete is a real head scratcher. I’ve got news for the ADs around the country – no one goes to an Alabama game to watch Nick Saban coach on the sideline. The NCAA sets rules and caps on what can be spent on the athletes, so how about a salary cap on coaches? Some offensive and defensive coordinators in the country even make over $1 million a year. There is no limit for the coaches, they make whatever their stupid athletic department or alumni will cough up. But reducing that so that players don’t have to go to bed hungry…sorry just doesn’t make sense to athletic directors.
The University of Michigan just announced that it is reducing the cost of student tickets to Michigan football games. Why? Not just because the school felt like “helping out” the students because they realized the tickets were too expensive for most to afford. No, the athletic director, Dave Brandon, has come under fire in Ann Arbor because the football team sucks, his mishandling of football players injuries and because prices are too high for the product. He needs the students on his side to save his job. Starting next season a student season pass will go from $280 for the year to $175. Student attendance dropped from 19,000 in 2013 to under 12,000 this year because students can’t afford the tickets. Most ADs don’t care because they cater to the wealthy alumni and corporate America anyway. Suddenly Brandon cares because his job is on the line.
It just continues to show that the NCAA and its schools will only change and show some concern for the students and student athletes if their backs are against the wall. | [

Sure, netbooks are cheap, light, and tiny which makes them pretty cool as far as computers go. But you know what most netbooks don’t have? Wheels. Fortunately, one hacker has set out to remedy this oversight, building a rover-style robot powered by an Acer Aspire One and an Arduino Diecimila microcontroller.
The contraption is capable of moving about the floor, accepting commands sent over a network connection. What’s more, it uses the netbook’s built in webcam to stream video back to another computer on the network. This is still a work in progress. The machine doesn’t go in reverse, and steering is apparently difficult. But the guy behind the project hopes to soup things up a bit in the future, possibly even adding the abillity to steer with a Wii Nunchuk.
You can check out a video of the rover in action after the jump. The good stuff starts about 1:25 in.

Life is all managing shifts. Shift from one stage in life to another; Shift from one year to the next; Shift from one season to another; Shift from one day to the next; Shift from one project to another; And even shift from one part of your day to the next. When you manage these shifts smoothly you are able to accomplish so much more and live up to your fullest potential.
The reality is many people find these shifts challenging… even when it is simply getting past that afternoon slump. Maybe it is the extra carbs you eat, low sugar intake, or other things. The key is get your blood moving, and get your mind and energy motivated.
Here are 8 simple tips to overcome your afternoon slump – or whatever shift is challenging you:
1. Eat smart. For lunch, enjoy smoothies, fruit, water, nuts, proteins vs. carbs. Eat lite instead of a heavy meal that you will need to digest.
2. Do the hardest project or chore of the day first. When you eat your “frog” in the am, rather than having the hardest thing to do in the afternoon, you will have other less difficult things to work on.
3. Create afternoon routines. For example, after lunch, do a five minute power walk outside, then 10 jumping jacks, go to the bathroom, put cold water on your face, get a big glass of ice water, come into your office, clear your desk, do a brain dump of all morning to-do’s, turn on the lights/music, open a window and start working! Routines help our brains connect with what we want to do. Once you develop habits, your brain will automatically shift gears at all the right times.
4. Engage your body. Do things that get your body moving and that are “easy”. Stand up, sit on a balance ball vs. chair, do things that keep your blood and body moving. Stay engaged with movement, and let the momentum of movement keep you alert.
5. Give your brain a break. Save the more mindless and active tasks for the afternoon. i.e. errands, phone calls, filing, straightening, sorting, etc. When you are wanting to concentrate, looking at the computer, reading, listening, etc. you are working against your energy and have to work to think and focus.
6. Change the scenery. When you can, move to a different room. Do things to get extra lighting, or air. Sit in a place that is suitable not cozy. Perhaps a natural environment to keep you from getting distracted when your mind is already wondering. Turn on some upbeat music. Let your environment keep you on your toes.
7. Play a game. Give yourself a goal, or game to play. When you get this project done, or so many calls made, etc. you can reward yourself with going home early, stopping for a treat on the way home, etc. Introduce some momentum and urgency to the picture to counteract the slowing force of your energy.
8. Lastly, don’t fight it. When nothing else is working, take the 10 minute power nap or a 10 minute mediation time (set a timer). This will allow you to 100% rest and then focus and re-engage in high productivity. When you keep fighting it, you will have a long period of low productivity.
Track your energy and look for the patterns of what works,… and what slows you down. Find the things that support you to be the most productive and attentive; to do different things. When you find things that work, make it a habit. For ongoing success, stay focused, motivated and whatever you do; do something! AND manage your shifts effectively forever. | [

Powerful music production shines light on stereotypes
Students from different disciplines stage creative and eclectic major music production I Am Not a Terrorist.
Symbolism, movement and drama converged with oriental and occidental beats and English and Arabic lyrics on the Irwin Auditorium stage on April 19 and 20 in the LAU major music production “I Am Not a Terrorist.”
Ten students from different majors took to the stage with Assistant Professor Martin Loyato, the creative force behind the production, to present the case against stereotyping Arabs as terrorists. “This message is important to me and definitely drove me as a performer,” said LAU graduate of finance Mohammed Zahzah, who plays the electric guitar and Turkish clarinet during the production.
While Zahzah wore a traditional black Levantine men’s robe during the one-hour performance, others wore unitards of different colors and patterns that symbolized greed, death and petroleum.
Biology major Majd Khiami sang a song about oil and war in a deep crisp voice while dressed to reflect greed before changing into an orange jumpsuit, as worn by illegally detained suspected terrorists. “This was an exhilarating experience,” said Khiami of his first public performance. “I think there’s a huge and important connection between the sciences and the arts and, regardless of my major, I want to engage as much as possible in all the creative courses and initiatives LAU has to offer,” added the pre-med student.
The Department of Communications Arts has certainly been offering an increasing number of opportunities for such artistic engagement in recent months. “We have new faculty members, more resources and partnerships and a commitment to focusing on a culture of collaboration and continuous betterment,” explains Department Chair Jad Melki.
Working together with his students to put on an integrative and inspiring performance is something Loyato has done each year since joining LAU in 2014. “It’s always challenging, and this year all the music was original, written especially to reflect and highlight the message of the production,” he says. “At least three of my students have been denied visas to the U.S. or Europe. This isn’t just entertainment. We’re reflecting a problem that impacts this community.”
Second-year journalism student Sandra Azki agrees. The theme of terrorist stereotypes, she says, touches her personally. She also welcomed the opportunity to work with Loyato again, having performed with him in last year’s major music production. “It’s hard work, we were up until 4 a.m. last night, but it’s invigorating,” says Azki, who composed and performed a rap in Arabic about not being a terrorist.
In addition to original lyrics and music, the production boasts a unique set design. While some performers sit, stand and dance on the main stage, others play their instruments at different levels off the ground behind a large white canvas onto which video images and words are projected.
The images complement the powerful music and movement in an eclectic show, something for which the communication arts department, its faculty and students are becoming increasingly well known.
Communication Arts students at LAU express pride in their department’s mission to #ReinventCommunication

Are you concerned about whether your permit application will be accepted before the change to the 2015 Seattle codes? Here are some FAQs to help you understand the steps you need to take.
On August 4, we released a staff draft of the 2016 omnibus legislation along with our environmental (SEPA) decision. The comment and appeal period runs until August 25. The legislation includes amendments to the Land Use Code (Title 23) and related land use regulations in Chapters 3.58, 22.202, and 25.11 to clarify and improve various regulations. Our proposed amendments generally include “clean-up” amendments that correct inadvertent clerical errors and incorrect cross-references, and clarifies existing code language.
On July 10, new legislation became effective that prohibits rent increases on units that fail to meet minimum rental housing standards and gives Seattle DCI enforcement authority over “prohibited acts by owners.”
Director’s Rule 7-2016, Small Efficiency Dwelling Units, which supersedes DR 25-2014, went into effect on June 24. This rule clarifies minimum and maximum room size and other technical requirements, and includes specific examples.
On July 10, the Carl Haglund Law becomes effective. The new legislation prohibits Seattle landlords from raising rent on units that fail to meet minimum rental housing standards. If a tenant believes their rent increase is not allowed under the new rules, the tenant must inform the landlord in writing (e-mail is allowed), after receiving notice of the rent increase, of any conditions that would fail the RRIO checklist. Tenants may then contact Seattle DCI through the general complaint line at (206) 615-0808.
For the past several months, we have been preparing to adopt the 2015 Seattle codes, including the Building, Residential, Mechanical, and Energy Conservation codes. While we don’t know what the legislative schedule will be, we are expecting to require compliance with the 2015 codes on January 1, 2017.
We are proposing updates to the Land Use Code to accommodate advances in two specific areas: internet service and federal licensing for use of the airwaves by low power radio station. Our proposal would change existing regulations to make it easier to place utility equipment boxes designed to improve internet, telephone, and video connections. Our proposal would also change regulations to make it easier for low power FM broadcasting facilities, licensed solely as non-profit entities and with a limited broadcasting reach, to put their antennas in suitable locations in all zones throughout the city.
Seattle’s location on the Puget Sound gives it a unique geography. There are about 200 miles of fresh and saltwater shorelines within Seattle’s city limits. The City of Seattle protects our shoreline ecosystems, encourages water-dependent uses, and maximizes the public’s enjoyment of our natural resources. The City ensures that residents follow the regulations in the 1972 Shoreline Management Act.
Seattle DCI and OPCD released draft Design Review Program Improvement recommendations on March 9, 2016. Our recommendations identify and evaluate organizational, structural, and procedural changes to enhance the design review program’s efficiency and enable it to better achieve its purpose. You can comment on our recommendations through April 8.
All applications for Land Use and Construction permits need to be reviewed by staff with expertise in various Seattle codes. It is important for all staff to review each project using the same property boundaries, known as a “development site.” This is important to properly conform to code requirements, to provide consistency to applicants and the public, and to allow property records to be easily accessible. | [

Universal Pictures have released a new trailer for Melina Matsoukas‘ “Queen & Slim,” written by Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe (“Master of None”). The film stars Academy Award nominee Daniel Kaluuya (“Get Out”) and introducing Jodie Turner-Smith. The cast also includes Chloë Sevigny and Bokeem Woodbine and Indya Moore.
While on a forgettable first date together in Ohio, a black man and a black woman, are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief and pain for people across the country.
As they drive, these two unlikely fugitives will discover themselves and each other in the most dire and desperate of circumstances, and will forge a deep and powerful love that will reveal their shared humanity and shape the rest of their lives. Joining a legacy of films such as Bonnie and Clyde and Thelma & Louise, Queen & Slim is a powerful, consciousness-raising love story that confronts the staggering human toll of racism and the life-shattering price of violence.
The first trailer for the film dropped last month during the BET Awards commercial break. Matsoukas directs the film with a script written by Waithe from a story by James Frey. Matsoukas has long been a director of music videos and episodes of television. Her work includes Issa Rae’s “Insecure” and Beyoncé’s music videos for “Formation” and the “Lemonade” album TV special.
“Queen & Slim” is produced under Waithe’s own Hillman Grad Productions as well as Bron Studios. Universal Pictures is distributing the film November 27. | [

Gametropolis writer Lee Hobbs looks at how the 3DS launch compares to other console launches, and whether the issues surrounding Nintendo's new handheld are totally unique to the system.
It wasn't a disaster, but I'm sure it wasn't what Nintendo was expecting. I think next time they want to release a new console / handheld, they should make sure to have several AAA titles either launching along side with it or a month after launch at least. The 3DS seems as if it was rushed.
I think Nintendo has learned their lesson about not having games for a new handheld or console.
It'll pick up almost assuredly. I mean PS3 only had resistance to play on it for the longest time after launch and look at it now.
no it really hasnt but there are haters...considering its price, online was lacking, and games...its launch was good...even ds started off slow.....and mostly all 3ds issues are solved and its less then 6 months old..

Canada pulls plug on costly medical reactor plan
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada said on Friday it was scrapping a nuclear reactor project designed to produce medical radioisotopes, a move that means half the world's supply will be made by a 50-year-old reactor that was temporarily shut down for safety reasons last year.
The Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine said the announcement was "a major concern" and said Ottawa had to ensure it could access back-up supplies.
The aging National Research Universal (NRU) reactor at the Chalk River facility in eastern Ontario, operated by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd (AECL), produces about half the world's supply of the radioisotopes.
The NRU was supposed to be replaced in 2000 by AECL's MAPLE project, which consisted of two small reactors, but they have been plagued by technical problems and cost overruns. AECL said on Friday it was scrapping the project.
A shutdown of the NRU reactor late last year caused a shortage of radioisotopes, which are used in cancer tests and other medical procedures.
Chalk River produces medical isotopes for Canadian health care company MDS Inc and its MDS Nordion division, which is responsible for about half of world supply.
"The decision to discontinue development of the MAPLE reactors will not impact the current supply of medical isotopes as commercial agreements between MDS Nordion and AECL provide for isotope production to continue through (the) NRU and associated facilities in Chalk River," said AECL.
In a separate statement, MDS said it was disappointed by the decision and would take steps to protect the interests of its patients, customers and shareholders. Continued... | [

To Encourage Action Regarding Issues, Etc.
Whereas, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has clearly expressed its desire to be intentional in engaging our culture with the clear proclamation of the Scriptures; and
Whereas, LCMS President Gerald Kieschnick, in his March 31, 2008 letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal describe our Synod as “faithful to the Scriptures and Lutheran Confession” and “blessed by unity in our common confession and the articles of our shared faith”; and
Whereas, the KFUO-AM radio program Issues, Etc. clearly articulated that common confession; and
Whereas, Issues, Etc. has ably provided LCMS Christians with a resource that teaches them how to engage the culture with the clear witness of the Holy Scripture and the pure proclamation of the Gospel of Christ; and
Whereas, the Board for Communication Services on April 18, 2005 stated, “The board recognizes the value of [Issues, Etc.] to the Synod for nearly 15 years and is seeking ways to develop more cost-effective, engaging Lutheran apologetic programming for broad distribution”; therefore be it
Resolved, that the Minnesota State Pastoral Conference (Minnesota North District and Minnesota South District) gathered in assembly at Madden’s Resort in Brainerd, MN on May 12-14, 2008 praise God by standing and singing the Common Doxology for the many years during which the program Issues, Etc. aired, and for the faithful service of the Rev. Todd Wilken and Mr. Jeff Schwarz; and be it further
Resolved, that the Minnesota State Pastoral Conference encourage the Board for Communication Services and KFUO-AM to express publicly their appreciation for the many years of faithful service rendered by Rev. Todd Wilken and Mr. Jeff Schwarz in relation to the Issues, Etc. program; and be it further
Resolved, that the Minnesota State Pastoral Conference express its disappointment to the Board of Communication Services for the abrupt cancellation of Issues, Etc.; and be it further
Resolved, that the Minnesota State Pastoral Conference encourage and invite the prayers and support (including financial) of all congregations and individuals of our districts for the Board for Communication Services and KFUO-AM so that existing programming may be abundantly funded, and so that it may be possible to reinstate the former Issues, Etc. program or initiate a program of a similar format; and be it finally
Resolved, that the Minnesota State Pastoral Conference encourage the Board for Communication Services to consider reversing, revisiting, or ameliorating their actions in regard to the cancellation of the Issues, Etc. program. | [
