Building the Concatenation Helper Column
To combine the rows for each make of vehicle, we are going to build a few columns that help us stitch together the multiple rows, but first we need to make sure the list is sorted. All the vehicles of the same make need to be next to each other for this technique to work.
First, we select all the cells, and choose Sort from the Data menu tab.
We want to sort first by Make and then by Model as the screen shot above shows.
Now that we are sure that the list is in the proper order, we can build our helper columns.
In the next available column (column C in our example), title the first helper column Models. This is where our combined list of vehicle models will end up.
In the first row of data (C2 in this example), write the following formula:
This IF function compares the value in the Make column of the current row to the Make cell in the previous row. If they are the same, it stitches together the contents of the previous Models cell with the new content from the current Model cell. If they are different, it starts a new list by adding the current row’s Model to the Models cell.
In other words, If the Make is the same, add this Model to the other Models in the list. If the Make is different, start a new list of Models.
Once the first formula is entered, select its cell and drag from the lower right corner down to the end of the worksheet. This will copy the formula down the sheet, changing the cell references inside the formula along the way.
The end result will be a series of lists of vehicle Models that grow with each row, until the Make changes, and a new list is started. | [

The Permian Basin in May reported the largest monthly decline in oil and gas permits ever, down 47% from April, as applications by large-cap operators fell to their lowest levels in history, off by almost three-quarters, Evercore ISI said Tuesday.
Articles from Marcellus
The U.S. rig count fell another 17 rigs to drop to 301 during the week ended Friday (May 29), another sharp weekly decline that nonetheless suggests a flattening of the recent downward trajectory in onshore activity.
Emissions from Pennsylvania’s existing natural gas and oil infrastructure, including at Marcellus and Utica shale sites, are facing more stringent oversight under a draft proposal.
Appalachian natural gas giant EQT Corp. said Tuesday the1.4 Bcfe/d curtailmentannounced last week may extend through June.
Equitrans Midstream Corp. said in a regulatory filing on Monday that its largest customer, EQT Corp., has started temporarily curtailing 1.4 Bcf/d of production in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Oil and natural gas production from seven of the nation’s most prolific onshore unconventional plays will be down in June compared with May, a second consecutive decline, as the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic continue to echo through the economy, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The collapse in drilling activity deepened in April, with permitting for oil and natural gas wells at a record low, but there are glimmers of gains so far this month, according to an analysis by Evercore ISI.
Planned production curtailments and delayed well completions continue to grow in the Appalachian Basin as more exploration and production (E&P) companies are continuing to announce less activity in the face of Covid-19 and the corresponding slide in commodity prices.
Aggressive retrenchment in the U.S. oil patch remained the dominant theme in the latest rig numbers, with the United States dropping 57 rigs to fall to 408 during the week ended Friday (May 1), according to data from Baker Hughes Co. (BKR).
Two of Appalachia’s leading operators said Friday that they would curtail some production this shoulder season, but both are anticipating a long-awaited increase in natural gas prices later in the year. | [

How can You Wire a Swap?
Among one of the most popular electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a change. Whilst using switches at your home is quite effortless, wiring a person might not be that uncomplicated for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. There are different kinds of switches, but for this example, let us say you happen to be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally frequent switch (and also the most basic).
You will discover three hues of wires inside of a standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and join them within the terminal screws - one particular on major as well as other over the bottom screw of your swap. The white wire serves for a source of uninterrupted power and is usually connected to a light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the eco-friendly wire for the ground screw of your respective swap.
These ways would typically be adequate to make a normal change work with no challenge. Nevertheless, in the event you aren't self-assured that you simply can accomplish the process thoroughly and safely you much better enable the professionals do it instead. Right after all, there is certainly a cause why this endeavor has become the most typical electrical wiring queries asked by plenty of people.
How do You Wire a Ceiling Fan?
For some reason, how you can wire a ceiling fan is likewise certainly one of essentially the most typical electrical wiring issues. To simplify this endeavor, you need to use an individual swap for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it really is merely a subject of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan for the black wire with the switch. When there is a light, the blue wire ought to be related for the black wire in the change at the same time.
How do You Swap a Breaker and just how Do you Add a Sub Panel?
While quite a few endeavor to carry out these jobs by themselves, plenty of people are encouraged to rent an electrician as an alternative. It's more difficult and for that reason unsafe for some folks to test to switch a breaker or increase a panel. To give you an strategy about such common electrical wiring issues, you should need to function on the sizzling electrical panel. When you you should not even determine what this means, you will be simply just not outfitted to try and do the job your self. Even when you should devote a lot more by employing a specialist electrician, it is much safer plus much more smart to try and do this as a substitute. - Electrical Symbols Electrical Diagram Symbols Analog And Digital Logic Library Electrical Symbols What Is The Drawing Of An Electrical Circuit Called #6451

Keywords: Gross N biotransformation, soil microbial biomass, nitrogen availability, mineralisation, C:N ratios.
Understanding the factors that govern microbial activities in soils is important, because the heterotrophic soil microbial biomass is driving the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling, and the net availability of N for plant uptake or losses. The processes by which C and N interact during decomposition of organic matter in soil, and the mineralisation-immobilisation turnover are well known but still difficult to predict, due to the complex interactions between soil micro-organisms and their substrates. The 15N isotope dilution techniques that allow rates of N transformations to be quantified accurately and simultaneously help the understanding of the effects of soil, crop and management conditions on microbial activities. The quantification of the relative importance of gross mineralisation, immobilisation and nitrification is also a key for understanding the competition between processes and the susceptibility of systems to lose or to retain nitrogen.

This week, the European Union and the Afghan government will co-host the third in a series of conferences in Brussels that will convene Afghanistan’s partners to discuss future foreign assistance commitments. At the 2012 Conference in Tokyo seventy international donors promised to mobilize $16 billion for Afghanistan in total foreign assistance over the subsequent four years, with the United States expected to cover about half of the amount. In Brussels, Afghanistan is hoping for a re-commitment to similar funding levels through 2020.
The donor countries and Afghan policymakers gather at a time when the security situation has deteriorated in the wake of the reduction of Western military forces in Afghanistan, attracting much media attention and concern. Security is certainly vital for success, but economic and social progress alongside good governance is also needed. Afghanistan’s partners seek determined leadership in Kabul and a consensus based on a process for achieving measurable progress. Afghanistan’s government and its people in return need partners that understand that progress will require another decade of engagement.
A stable and sustainable Afghanistan is in the interest of the United States, other international partners and the region. The costs of allowing a friendly government to collapse would be very high in a region that is volatile and susceptible to inroads by extremist groups. The 2014 reduction in foreign military support allowed a resurgent Taliban to gain control of at least one-fifth of the country, and some say more. The Brussels Conference is an opportunity to acknowledge the key role of development assistance in building a stable Afghanistan, since July’s NATO Summit in Warsaw focused on providing security assistance commitments of about $1 billion a year to the country through 2020.
Afghanistan has a democratically elected government and is no longer a safe haven for extremists with international reach, as it was prior to 2001. Sadly, a sizable portion of the Afghan population remains under the control of the Taliban today. The group has failed to capture and hold major urban areas, but it has launched a series of attacks across the country straining Afghan government security capacities. And, safe havens for the insurgency continue to exist in Pakistan. The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) have developed into a functioning military institution over the last decade and have managed to hold their own, and even take back lost ground against the Taliban under a “fight, hold, disrupt” campaign strategy. The ANDSF has suffered extensive casualties, but they are still a viable force, even while they lack capacity in key areas such as logistics, air support, and intelligence. President Obama decided to freeze the withdrawal of U.S. forces and allow the forces remaining to provide more active support for Afghan military operations, as well as to continue operations against the “Islamic State” and remnants of Al Qaeda. This decision has likely been critical in preventing the Taliban from taking control of important population centers. Even if the security situation remains threatening, however, the country can make social and economic progress.
Corruption remains a major deterrent to investment and economic growth, as well as in improving the effectiveness of the security forces. It is also a key constraint in establishing the legitimacy of the state in the eyes of the Afghan people. Afghanistan was ranked 166 out of 167 on Transparency International (TI)’s 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index. Funds allocated for development and reconstruction have too often taken a detour into the pockets of undeserving Afghans. Afghanistan’s government is working to address previous failures of anti-corruption efforts through a new anti-corruption strategy, which is evident in the creation of a new Anti-Corruption Justice Center and the removal of corrupt and unqualified officials.
Afghanistan continues to be a major source of the world’s illicit opium and heroin. It remains the largest producer of opium, with poppy cultivation increasing to a record 211,000 hectares in 2014, coincident with the shrinking of territory under clear government control. The Taliban has long influenced the drug trade; trafficking is now the Taliban’s steadiest source of revenue. Landowners and farmers under the influence of the Taliban have little power to resist orders to cultivate crops on its behalf. There are credible reports of official Afghan collusion in the drug trade as well. Official involvement in the drug trade creates a distrust of Afghan officials and seriously hinders economic development.
Afghanistan has made significant, although mixed, progress since 2001. Many of these gains rarely receive the publicity they deserve. Despite the ongoing insurgency, health indicators have seen impressive gains. Life expectancy has increased from forty-six years in 2001 to fifty years in 2015, for example. Under the World Bank’s Afghanistan Rural Access Project (ARAP) approved in 2012, more than 10,000 kilometers of rural roads and drainage systems will be repaired and upgraded by 2018. In 1999, Afghanistan produced 420 million kWh of electricity; the total rose to 884.1 million kWh in 2012.
Afghanistan will remain dependent on significant amounts of foreign assistance through 2030 according to the World Bank, but it is increasing its ability | [

Let us look back at ROBOTIX 2011 from the point of view of a robotics aficionado with a fetish for out - of – the – box solutions to even the minimum of robot tasks. As we dug into our archives, we found a treasure trove of interesting robots that featured in this year’s edition of the fest. Without a lengthy preamble, lets head straight into technical glory!
RoboCop was designed to be an event that tested a bot’s ability to identify criminals from civilians. A bot actually shot marbles using a hydraulic mechanism based on air pressure at the “criminals”. In Pirate Bay, some robots had multiple arms for digging through sand and pebble. One even used a sweeping mechanism to traverse through sand! A stunning bot used multiple underwater propellers with Blue LEDs as illumination in R.A.F.T. Yet another used air propellers instead of water propellers.
The event “The Fugitives” broke new ground with teams of no less than two bots collaborating to corner stationary “fugitives” placed in a 10X10 grid. Wireless communication was used by several participating teams to run the team of bots. Ballista needed bots to detect a moving light source and shoot balls at it which was done with perfection by several teams.
Here are a few of the extraordinary designs which caught our (very observant) eye. | [

Wouldn’t that be nice? One piece of paper (divorce) and a place of your own and all stress gone. Not quite. Nothing is that simple. Not even Dr. Seuss. This life is one big ocean full of fish raised very differently, and none of us know how to swim nicely -especially through 25 feet waves trying to annihilate us. Share a free sample Dharma and Karma Charts. Astrology for the soul! Try your free Dharma Chart Karma Chart today!
So what then, if not a divorce, will solve all of my problems? A trip to Hawaii alone? An affair? A pill? Well, Saturn, planet of time, structure, paying the bills, boundaries, work, and limitations is now in the cardinal air sign planet Libra in the sky. Libra is ruled by Venus and is all about balance and justice, 50-50 and harmony like Lauryn Hill singing Killing Me Softly. Saturn is killing us softly by the way so maybe music is the answer to our suffering?
The truth is there is no answer. There is only the work involved in solving problems step by step, tiny brick by tiny pain in the a__ brick. Saturn is a slow planet. Saturn rules the sea goat (half goat and half fish) Capricorn and is all about living our value system. It takes forever to get applause by the planet Saturn. His clapping only means you are out of debt finally, but still not booking a cruise to a sandy beach. Saturn in Libra is screaming that work and play have to be equal. See saw, knock on your door, and we will fall.

If x = y, y can be replaced by x in any expression. The replacement property is more general than the transitive property because we can replace x with y not only in y = z, but in any expression. In other words, the transitive property is just an instance where the replacement property can be used.
The transitive real estate meme stems from the transitive property to equality in math. In mathematics, if A = B and B = C, then A = C. For example, if A = 5, then B and C must also both be 5 of the transitive property. For example, humans eat cows and cows eat grass, so humans with the transitive trait eat grass.
Solution: Since the two angles 1 and 3 are congruent with the same angle, angle 2, they must be congruent. Since we can only substitute equations in equations, we have NO congruent substitution properties.
The substitution property of equality, one of the eight properties of equality, states that if x = y, then x can be replaced by y in any equation and y can be replaced by x in any equation.
The transitive property of congruence states that two objects that are congruent with a third object are also congruent with each other.
These lines never intersect, but they are not in the same plane, so they are not parallel. The transitive property of parallel lines means that when line E is parallel to line F and line F is parallel to line G, line E is parallel to line G.
Use the transitive property as cause in a proof when the statement on the same line implies congruent things. Use the replace property when the statement does not contain any consistency.
Evidence example Therefore = reflective. Transitive: if a = b and b = c, then this says that a is equal to b, which in turn is equal to c. So a is equal to c, then a = c, and therefore = is transitive.
Transitive property for equality. The following property: if a = b and b = c, then a = c is one of the equivalents of equality. Note: this is a characteristic of equality and inequality.
∠A ≅ ∠A (The angle A is congruent or equal to the angle A) Symmetric property of congruence. The meaning of the symmetric property of congruence is that if a figure (call it Figure A) is congruent or similar to another figure (call it Figure B), then Figure B is also congruent or similar to Figure A. Examples.
The Equality Subtraction property says that you can subtract the same amount on both sides of an equation and it will still be equalized. If a = 5 and b = 5, then a = b. The vertical angle theorem says that two vertical angles are congruent.
Reflective property for congruence. The reflexive property of congruence states that every geometric figure is congruent with itself. A line segment has the same length, an angle is the same angular measure, and a geometric shape has the same shape and size as itself.
Congruent. Angles are congruent when they are the same size (in degrees or radians). The sides are congruent if they are the same length.
Feature of trichotomy. The trichotomy property means that when comparing 2 numbers, one of the following conditions must be true: the first number is greater than the second number, the first number is less than the second number, or both numbers are the same. It’s common sense with a difficult name.
The transitive property helps to make connections by saying if a = b and b = c then a = c. This transitive property can be applied to a group of similar triangles when we say that if triangle A is triangle B and triangle B is triangle C, then triangle A is triangle C.
The transitive property says that for all real numbers x, y and z, if x = y and y = z, then x = z. When x = y, x can be replaced with y in any equation or expression.
In set theory, a branch of mathematics, a set A is said to be transitive if one of the following similar conditions is met: if x A and yx, then y A. If x A and x are not an element, then x is a subset by A. | [

Laika’s third feature film, The Boxtrolls, distributed by Focus Features, launched in third place in the United States with a final total of $17.3 million. The film was running head-to-head with The Maze Runner, which landed in second with $17.5 million. Final weekend numbers will be released Monday afternoon.
Boxtrolls managed to (barely) surpass Laika’s previous high, the $16.8 million debut of Coraline. Howevever, Coraline opened in 1,165 fewer theaters, and thus had a far higher per-theater average ($7,329 versus Boxtrolls’ $4,980).
Though it had a respectable opening, Boxtrolls was unable to capitalize on the recent lack of animated features at the box office and grow the audience for stop motion feature filmmaking in a significant way. While Boxtrolls also came close to beating the $17.5 million debut of Aardman’s Chicken Run, which is the best-ever U.S. opening for a stop motion film, both Chicken Run and Coraline had larger opening weekend audiences than Laika’s latest effort.
Boxtrolls also picked up an additional $5.1 million from 17 international territories, upping its foreign total to $17.7 million. | [

Inflammation can worsen the symptoms of depression, a study by Ohio State University and Rice University found. Researchers looked at the association between health behaviour, psychology and medicine. They found that mental health problems and the immune system directly affect one another.
Results published in The American Journal of Psychiatry show that depression, poor eating and stress combined can stimulate the inflammatory response. The more this affects the immune system, the more risk there is to the individual’s mental and physical health.
What’s encouraging about the study is that it provides a few recommendations to help ease the symptoms. These include yoga, meditation and exercise.
While the co-authors of the study suggest that more research is required, they believe they are making good progress. They learned about the links between depression, inflammation and any other disorders or illnesses.
Serrapeptase – A Natural Approach To Finding Relief from Inflammation
Serrapeptase is a naturally-occurring proteolytic enzyme that can dissolve and digest inflammation within the body. It does this by breaking down the inflamed tissue that’s causing the aggravating symptoms and then dissolving it in the bloodstream. Once the inflamed tissue disperses, the body is able to naturally heal itself.
In the case of depression, the grey clouds may begin to disappear. In addition, it becomes easier to get out of bed in the morning and start thinking positively. This is when the shifts happen and the mind produces happier thoughts. It is like finding the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’, so to speak. This means good progress, but a naturally healthy lifestyle with moderate exercise gives best results.
The Serrapeptase formulas are available from Good Health Naturally. They include Serra Enzyme 80,000IU, Serra Enzyme 250,000IU and SerraPlus+ to name a few.

Little Creek II (pastel 6 x 6)
My first little creek was about bright sunshine as it was. Second attempt was to create more atmospheric change in the scene. This was really different approach for me and I tried not to overwork on it with limited color to make the mood in unity. That is I dont' need to use very heavy layer of color since I have watercolor under painting. | [

Washington, DC, September 29, 2023 – The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted systemic public health workforce issues that existed even before the pandemic, according to a new report from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), which represents the nation’s nearly 3,000 local health departments. The study reveals opportunities for strengthening the local public health preparedness workforce to support proactive readiness for emerging and recurring threats, in addition to ongoing equitable community recovery efforts post-pandemic.
The Preparedness Profile assessment was conducted by NACCHO between April and May 2022. It was distributed to a nationally representative sample of local health departments across the nation to gather information about preparedness trends and emerging issues. The 2022 assessment provides one of the most comprehensive pictures of local public health preparedness capacity to inform priorities at the local, state, and national levels.
KEY SURVEY FINDINGS
Local Public Health Preparedness Workforce
Local health departments experienced an influx of new preparedness staff due to the COVID-19 response, and at the same time, the public health workforce is aging. This study underscores that retention of new and experienced public health professionals will require investment in programs like CDC’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) to support training and resources targeted at different skill levels, as well as an intentional investment in resourcing the hiring of dedicated, full-time preparedness staff to meet the needs of communities.
- In 2022, 28% of local health departments’ preparedness coordinators had fewer than two years of experience in the field—compared to 24% in 2018, while 36% have more than 11 years of experience in the field.
- More than half of local health departments (52%) reported their preparedness coordinators spend most of their jobs dedicated to duties other than preparedness.
- A quarter (25%) have formal mechanisms in place to reallocate financial resources to pay for staff during an emergency, and 21% have formal mechanisms to reduce time required to expedite hiring and reassigning.
Impacts of COVID-19 on Local Public Health Preparedness
The COVID-19 pandemic required an unprecedented level of public health response. Although challenging due to many years of chronic under-resourcing, the local response likely played a key role in improving preparedness planning for similar threats among local health departments. However, this study reveals the importance of increased training for local public health practitioners on working with at-risk and vulnerable populations to mitigate the disproportionately negative outcomes associated with emerging threats like COVID-19.
- More than half of local health departments (53%) reported that CDC’s PHEP funding and guidance strengthened their ability to conduct community recovery efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Approximately 4 in 5 local health departments (82%) are very prepared to respond to pandemics.
- Less than half of local health departments (43%) considered refugee/migrant populations in their preparedness planning efforts.
Preparedness Planning Capacity and Activities
Local health departments remain concerned about commonly recurring natural disasters due to their increased frequency and magnitude in recent years as the impacts of climate change, including extreme heat, flooding, and wildfires, worsen. Meanwhile, threats, such as opioid abuse and overdose and active shooter incidents, continue to be a top concern. Local health departments reported a lack of adequate funding to respond to complex and often simultaneous public health crises.
- Less than 1 in 4 local health departments (23%) conducted preparedness planning on climate change in 2022.
- Local health departments were more likely to report decreasing participation in preparedness activities related to climate change in 2022 (8%) than in 2018 (3%).
- More than 3 in 4 local health departments were very concerned (78%) about the impact of opioid use and overdoses in their communities, while also feeling unprepared (80%) to address that threat.
“As this assessment shows, local health departments play a critical role in responding to a range of complex, and often simultaneous public health emergencies,” said NACCHO Chief Executive Officer Lori Tremmel Freeman. “While demonstrating the capacity of local health departments to respond, the assessment also points out important gaps that impact national security. The need for sustained funding to support the public health workforce and infrastructure is evident and this report offers recommendations for national partners, states, and local health organizations to strengthen preparedness and response at the local level.”

Out of all the times for baby sloths, baby sloth bath time seems to be the cutest.
These insanely cute little guys get a nice shampoo in a leaf-infused tea bath that cleans dirt out of their fur and also keeps them bacteria and parasite free!
After bath time, which can be a little stressful for some of the sloths, they are treated to hibiscus flowers, which is like chocolate to sloths.
So cute! We wanna bathe a baby sloth!

The Kansas City Royals have reached an agreement with right hander Felipe Paulinoon a one-year contract for 2013, avoiding arbitration. Paulino was a third-time eligible player and MLBTradeRumors had projected a $2.7 million salary for the pitcher.
Instead, Paulino signed for a mere $1.75 on a deal that, with incentives, could be worth an even $2 million. It’s actually worth $150k less than the $1.9 million Paulino made last season.
Paulino underwent Tommy John surgery in July, which is the whole reason for the pay cut. He’s not expected to be ready to pitch for the Royals until at least mid-season. The 29-year-old righty has found a home with the Royals, pitching to a 3.55 ERA in 28 games (27 starts) since coming over from the Astros (he had a 5.83 ERA in three seasons with Houston).
Paulino made seven starts prior to his injury in 2012 and struck out more than a batter per inning while posting a sparkling 1.67 ERA. Even with the injury, it’s tough to see why Paulino would have settled for anything less than a slight raise in pay. The Royals continue to search for starting pitching and have reportedly been shopping veterans Luke Hochevar and Bruce Chen in order to clear payroll space to make a run at adding another front-line arm. Hochevar is a candidate to be non-tendered. | [

Anyone who thinks their vehicle was struck by an object on SR-152 in this area and during the specified time frame is asked to file a police report with the CHP office, if they have not already done so, authorities urged.
The attendees reiterated their intent to hold Gilroy police accountable for Juarez’s death, just a couple days after the Santa Clara County district attorney announced his office had completed an investigation that exonerated the officers involved in Juarez’s arrest.
Gilroy Police earlier this week arrested a young man on suspicion of recently burglarizing two homes.
The judge also ordered a restraining order against Bobian, prohibiting him from being within 300 yards of his accuser for at least one year.
In a brief arraignment at San Jose’s Hall of Justice, Judge Cynthia Sevely raised 43-year-old Sharwian Bobian’s bail from $101,000 to $275,000 and appointed the Public Defender’s Office to represent him.
San Jose police made the arrest at around 10am Feb. 8 after closing in on Bobian around U.S. 101 and Hellyer Road.
Gilroy police have been investigating the home for narcotics sales since 2011, according to authorities.

Since the creation of the first national park in 1872 (Yellowstone, USA), there are now more than 102,000 protected areas. These areas, which cover 4% of the planet, are unequally distributed and operate in different ways. To perform well, they must take account of the needs of the local populations.
In forty years, the number of protected areas listed by the United Nations has multiplied by ten. The World Conservation Monitoring Centre of the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) has listed more than 102,000 land- and sea-based sites covering almost 19 million km2, i.e. 4% of the planet and more than the surface area of China and India combined. On the other hand, less than 1% of the seas and oceans are protected.
Europe is the continent with the most protected areas (43,000); Asia has 18,000; North America 13,000; Australia 9,000; and Africa 6,990. Proportionally, however, Central and South America are the most protected parts of the world.
A long history
The first known example of protection dates back to 252 BC, when the Emperor Asoka in India established protected areas for mammals, birds, fish and forests. The oldest national park is Yellowstone in the north western United States, created in 1872 over an area of 8,983 km2. It is now part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves.
While the first parks were created from a perspective of preservation (maintaining an earlier state), others were created as hunting reserves. Conservation is now the priority, which corresponds to sustainable development: ensuring the long-term existence of the resource for future generations.
We are also aware of the value of ecosystems. This value is cultural, social, scientific and economic. The World Resource Institute also believes, among other examples that more than a billion people depend on protected forests for their subsistence. In Cambodia, 20 to 58% of the daily resources of the inhabitants come from protected mangroves, particularly for the poorest populations.
With or against humans
In the past, conservationists have often considered humans (often the native populations) who inhabit regions that need protection to be obstacles. A typical example is the Kruger Park, the largest in Africa. Its founder, Stevenson-Hamilton, expelled all the tribes who lived in protected areas. Others were expelled when the park was extended.
Today, ecologists include humans in their projects, from a realistic perspective, as deserted land more easily becomes prey to poachers, and because they have understood that much of the “wild” or “virgin” landscapes were in fact created thousands of years ago by the interactions between humans and nature. It is also much more efficient to involve local populations in the protection of their environment. UNESCO is one of the pioneers of “participatory” approaches, with the Man and Biosphere programme created in 1970.
We still have to right the wrongs of the past. The Makuleke, expelled from the north of the Kruger Park during Apartheid, have been able to recover some of their territory and become partners in the economic exploitation of the park, particularly by the management of tourist accommodation. In Kenya, the former Amboseli National Park was returned to the Masai.
Without being able to protect the entire planet, are there places that are vital for biodiversity? In 1988, Norman Myers, together with other scientists, developed the concept of biodiversity hotspots. He identified 34 of them around the world. Together, they represent only 2.3% of the Earth’s surface, but they shelter more than 50% of all plants and 42% of all vertebrates, for example.
What to protect?
Experts are now debating how to protect biodiversity. In general terms, they agree on prioritising the protection of whole ecosystems rather than one species or another, which, deprived of its environment, has only a small chance of survival. However, some species that play a major role in the ecosystem (keystone species) or that are ‘media’ species (species that make it possible to mobilise important means to protect an entire ecosystem) can be prioritised.
The creation of a protected area does not automatically guarantee the survival of the species that live in it. Poaching, biopiracy, unauthorised constructions, illegal forest exploitation, etc., can all comprise a threat. This is especially true in those areas where the State does not have the resources to ensure effective control. That is clearly the case in conflict areas, such as the Virunga Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, on the border of Rwanda and Uganda. It is also the case in large areas of the most developed countries, such as French Guiana: its natural reserves and its national park are very poorly monitored, and two rangers were killed in 2006.
In addition, adequate and regular funding is essential for the functioning of the protected areas. Most are therefore setting up | [

It's been my dream to go to a great college that I love. I put so much hard work into my studies, and baseball. I am constantly working on baseball, and what I can do to succeed in this game. I Believe if you work hard, and give %110 in what you do to achieve that goal, you can do it. I think what has made me most successful as a ball player, Is my mind set. I wish everyone could know that if you can develop your mind set to be good, you can be good. I have developed my mind set to do other things then just baseball. I use it in school, so I can do the best I can on my studies. I want to have the best education to get to that next level, and it takes work, and I am willing to do the work no matter what it takes. I give %110 everywhere I go, because you never know who is watching. In the weight room, I push my self to lift the most in my class, That is one of my goals I have wanted to achieve. I set goals for my self, everyday. I check my notes and look at those goals I set for myself, and I try to achieve them. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to get to that next level, even if I'm on 3 hours of sleep. Those are the kind of goals I set for myself. I push myself every single day to be the best I can. | [

United Airlines said Thursday that it is rescinding the 5 percent salary cuts its 25,000 managers took earlier this year.
At the time, the struggling airline was seeking ways to weather its financial problems. And it had hoped that union workers would agree to similar cuts-something they have refused to do.
The decision to restore the pay was made "in the interest of fairness," said United spokesman Joseph Hopkins. The airline can't ask one part of its work force to make such sacrifices if the others won't go along, he said.
Airline industry analysts say the move may indicate that the Elk Grove Township-based airline is giving up its months-long effort to extract pay cuts from the union workers soon.
The airline, the nation's second largest, has suffered $1.4 billion in losses since the start of 1992. So in January United called on all of its 80,000 employees to take a temporary 5 percent pay cut.
The cuts for the managers took effect the next month. But the airline's unions, representing 53,000 pilots, flight attendants, maintenance workers and ground crews, balked at the proposal outright or dragged their feet in deciding whether to go along.
The airline's 12 senior executives also took the 5 percent pay cuts. And its chairman, Stephen M. Wolf, agreed to a 15 percent cut, amounting to about $100,000. Those salary cuts will not be rescinded, Hopkins said.
Nor will they be rescinded for United's board, whose members agreed to a 10 percent cut in fees as part of the cost-cutting measures.
The pay restoration for the rest of the management staff, which is not retroactive, will take effect Aug. 29, Hopkins said. On that day, management personnel also are scheduled to receive their merit pay increases for this year, he said.
Merit increases for managers were to have been deferred. But since the unions would not agree to defer the annual pay increases guaranteed in their contracts, the merit raises will be granted as scheduled, Hopkins said.
Wolf said during United's annual shareholders meeting in the spring that he wouldn't allow the managers to keep making financial sacrifices while workers represented by the company's three major unions-the Air Line Pilots Association, the Association of Flight Attendants and the International Association of Machinists-refused to contribute their fair share.
Nevertheless, the decision to restore the management staff's pay cuts took some Wall Street analysts by surprise.
Morgan Stanley analyst Kevin Murphy suggested that the company might find it harder to extract future concession from its unionized employees.
"Anything that backs away from the case that (United) needs help does make for a harder job in getting union concessions and changes in work rules," he said.
Stock of UAL Corp., United's parent, rose $3.87 Friday to close at $124.50 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Since United proposed the pay cuts, the Machinists union and the Association of Flight Attendants have refused to reopen their contract to permit a pay reduction. The pilots union, meanwhile, has spent five months studying the request.
United officials said they will continue to seek other ways of restoring the airline to profitability, but aren't likely to make any major moves for at least six months.
One proposal under consideration, according to United president Jack Pope, is the creation of a separate low-cost airline that would take over and operate United's unprofitable, short-haul domestic flights.
United's short-haul flights represent about 40 percent of United's domestic operations.
All of United's employee unions, however, have said they would fight the carrier if it tried to create a new airline with non-union personnel.
In response, Pope said the idea of a separate airline is only one alternative measure being considered for doing away with unprofitable routes.
Furthermore, he added, United "won't do anything that violates our (union) contracts." | [

I am looking for a competent needlewoman to help me. Quite often I sell textiles which need to be hand stitched to a backing which is stretched over a wooden stretcher or acid free board, ready for a frame. Sometimes a dress might need a few stitches. I do not need a conservator, just someone who loves sewing and is particular about her work. My current helper is retiring.
Did you realise there are events all over the UK this summer celebrating the Huguenots, the French Protestants who left France after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Many settled in Spitalfields, London and Norwich as well as other areas. Highly skilled silversmiths, watchmakers and financiers manyt were silk weavers who brought intricate skills, new techniques, ideas and the incomparable French style. The master weavers lived in large, elegant houses in Spitalfields, whilst the journeymen weavers lived in small houses north of Spitalfields and Bethnal Green. Do have a look at the website Huguenots Summer, celebrating the People, Places and Legacy www.huguenotsofspitalfields.org/events/huguenot-summer.html. To celebrate this event I have included a few Spitalfields silk stoles from the early 19th century on the site (Shawls of Paisley Design - Woven). You will also find lengths and pieces of Spitalfields woven dress silks which would look good framed (Costume - 18th c) and in (Antique English & European Textiles - Woven). The other celebration this summer is the Battle of Waterloo. The Spitalfields silk stoles are exactly what would have been worn at the ball on the eve of the Battle. Why not buy one of the stoles to wear at the events to celebrate the anniversary. | [

Preach & Heal: Our Method of Local Discipleship
"And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel
of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people."
- Matthew 4:23
We see Jesus' earthly ministry and his commands as the quintessence of missiological method. There is no higher example and no more beautiful of a ministerial balance than that of Jesus of Nazareth. In loving him we love his ways and desire to be like him as an organization and as individuals. Our passion is to emulate his walk with the Father, his bold preaching ministry, and his care for the broken bodies of his people.
Jesus healed the sick and Jesus preached boldly. In his life there is a union of these two elements and neither is made more important than the other, although often healing ministry makes a way for preaching ministry. Within FAI we have a high value for Christian Disciple makers (DM) who are honest, bold and clear with the message of the gospel although they may have no professional experience or credentials. We also have a high value for the Christian relief worker who may not have the same boldness or clarity in preaching, but is dedicated to showing the love of Christ with his or her experience and credentials for the purpose of making a way for the gospel. We value them both equally as handles on a two-handled plow.
I realize that not all workers fall into one of these two categories. Many DMs are very qualified in numerous fields and many relief professionals have been through seminary. The point isn't that both can't exist in one person, but that typically God uses the diversity of the body of Christ to form this union of preachers and healers to work together. Let us look at the unity of Christ's life and the commands that he gives to his disciples concerning this model.
Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them…
And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea. (Luke 4:40, 42-44 ESV)
And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. (Matthew 9:35)
To His disciples:
And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.(Matthew 10:7-8)
And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two…So they went out and proclaimed that people should repent. And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them. (Mark 6:7, 12-13)
And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.(Luke 9:2)
DMs are called to live and speak with honesty, boldness, and clarity.
What kind of disciple makers are we talking about? It seems clear that we are looking for Christian teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, etc and their roles are relatively self-evident. When I say "doctor" most people typically know what kind of work that involves, but when I say "disciple maker" there is ambiguity there. We've chosen this language of Matthew 28:18-20, because we believe it encapsulates the essential elements of the work we are called to. With a Matthew 28:18-20 definition of "disciple maker" we would only add this triad to describe the kind of DMs we desire to be and are actively seeking out.
We desire that they would be:
Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. (2 Cor 4:1-2 ESV)
The cross-cultural minister doesn't have permission to cloak himself in ambiguity. We are given a New Testament example of a man who let himself be known by his target people. They knew who he was and what he was doing. He didn't do | [

Keto lets you unlock and start your car, using your phone
It seems like it was only yesterday that – on some vehicles, at least – the traditional car key was replaced with a Bluetooth fob. Now, Korean startup OneKey is out to replace that fob with its smartphone-controlled Keto system.
Keto actually consists of both an iOS/Android app and a device that stays permanently inside the car. Additionally, it doesn't entirely do away with the car's existing fob. Instead, the user removes the "key module" from that fob, and sticks it inside the Keto device.
The latter is then adhered to the top of the dashboard, with a power cord running from it to the vehicle's AC power socket. That cord continuously charges an integrated lithium-polymer battery.
When the user approaches their car, the Keto device detects both a unique Bluetooth signal and an inaudible audio signal that are automatically transmitted by the phone. This causes the closest door (or the trunk) to unlock. Once the person is subsequently inside the car, the proximity of their phone to the device likewise enables the vehicle's "start engine" button.
As is the case with many app-controlled house and bicycle locks, Keto users can additionally grant temporary use of their vehicle to other people. This is done through the internet-connected app, and requires the other individuals to be running that same application on their phones. The main user can revoke anyone's access at any time, or they can restrict that access to certain times of day.
What's more, if one person has multiple Keto-device-equipped cars, they can use the app to access each vehicle individually.
Should you be interested, the technology is currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign. Assuming it reaches production, a pledge of US$99 will get you a device, with shipping estimated for December. | [

Why (Motive/Motivation) you or I do something is what is going to determine whether we are successful or not. Rarely is it an issue of ability or education, instead it is a lack of motivation. The biggest reason you and I fail is because when obstacles confront us, when the going gets tough, and the road becomes uncomfortable we lose focus. Everyone faces obstacles that will separate focus from their goals, it’s how you stop analyze the obstacle, adapt and react that will allow you to get back on track. We dont regain focus because our why/motivation wasnt strong enough to begin with.
What do you do?
1. Identity WHAT you want to do.
2. Then identity WHY you want to do it. MORE IMPORTANT!
3. What are the reasons this goal is important?
4. What are the obstacles you will face?
5. How, think actions you can take, to overcome these obstacles?
6. What character traits will you need to develop to do the above?
Write these out, place it someplace visible, and commit to it. | [

The new C63 S E Performance has been given a suite of visual upgrades with the exclusive F1 Edition special, due to land in Australia in limited numbers next year.
Mercedes-AMG has unveiled a special edition C63 S E Performance referencing the German car maker’s Formula 1 team. Though not limited by units internationally, the F1 Edition will be produced only for the first year of production and just 63 units will arrive in Australian dealerships.
New to the C63 S E Performance F1 Edition is exclusive Manufaktur alpine grey paint, with contrasting red pinstriping along the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser in reference to the design found on the current GT 63 S F1 medical car. The 20-inch forged wheels are the same as found on the standard car, but finished in matte black with matching red pinstriping around the rim. AMG decals are also applied to the lower half of the doors, completing the visual overhaul outside.
Each example will be equipped with the AMG Aerodynamics Package which features a larger front splitter, lip spoiler and a more aggressive rear diffuser insert. The AMG Night Package I and II are also fitted as standard, ensuring the likes of the front splitter, mirrors, window surrounds, tailpipes and badges all have a stealthy darkened finish.
Inside, the F1 Edition sports a black and red theme, with the AMG Performance seats combining black nappa leather with red contrast stitching and embossed AMG logos in the headrests. The seat belts are red too, with the steering wheel wrapped in black nappa leather and Dinamica microfibre with red stitching to match.
Carbonfibre trim elements now feature a red thread in the weave, with the AMG door sills illuminated in red. It also features badges and floor mats specific to the F1 Edition. Mercedes-AMG will also supply each car with a unique AMG F1-branded indoor car cover.
There are no changes under the skin, so performance remains identical to the standard car, with its four-cylinder hybrid powertrain sending 500kW and from 1020Nm of torque to all four wheels for a 3.4sec 0-100km/h time and 277km/h top speed (when fitted with the AMG Driver’s Package).
The C63 S E Performance F1 Edition will be produced for just a year after sales commence in both sedan and wagon models, though Australia will receive just 63 sedans. Local prices have yet to be confirmed but we’d suggest buyers expect a price tag of over $200,000. | [

Scoliosis occurs when the spine curves sideways which often starts during the developmental years as the vertebral column grows. Chiropractic care for scoliosis includes an examination to find evidence of scoliosis early on and correct this problem. It is more prevalent in girls, as 1 in 4 girls have scoliosis. The most obvious warning signs of scoliosis are unevenness in the shoulders or a change in posture. With early detection chiropractors have had outstanding success with scoliosis patients.
Since scoliosis is so common in young girls, it’s important to have them checked as they show signs of puberty. Often, girls hide their changing bodies underneath baggy clothes, which also hide signs of the spine growing improperly. Getting checked by a chiropractor can ensure that our daughters are able to grow into healthy young women.
The cause of scoliosis is unknown. A small percentage of scoliosis is genetic, but most of the cases Dr. Goel sees are not. Most likely, it is a result of adaptation and/or compensation to physical trauma such as car accidents, falling down stairs or off of bicycles as well as improper posture. Since spinal bones continue to develop well into the twenties, if left uncorrected, scoliosis can grow worse.
Chiropractic care is a safe, efficient and effective way not only for eradicating the pain but also to address the underlying cause. You or your child does not need to suffer needlessly from scoliosis. There is an alternative to drugs and surgery. If you are interested in finding out more about how chiropractic can treat scoliosis, book an appointment with Dr. Goel and see for yourself how wonderful chiropractic can feel. | [

Adair County is a county located in the U.S. state of Kentucky. As of the 2010 census, the population was 18,656. Its county seat is Columbia. The county was founded in 1801 and named for John Adair, then Speaker of the House in Kentucky and later Governor of Kentucky (1820 - 1824).
Adair County has one of the few surviving American Chestnut trees in the United States.
Adair County is a wet county as of March 23, 2016.
Adair County was formed on December 11, 1801 from sections of Green County. Columbia was chosen as the county seat the following year and the first courthouse was built in 1806.
The county was named in honor of John Adair, a veteran of the Revolutionary War and Northwest Indian War. Later he commanded Kentucky troops in the Battle of New Orleans. He served as the eighth Governor of Kentucky. This was the 44th of Kentucky's 120 counties to be organized.
After the American Civil War, a gang of five men, believed to include Frank and Jesse James from Missouri, robbed the Bank of Columbia of $600 on April 29, 1872. They killed the cashier, R.A.C. Martin, in the course of the robbery.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 412 square miles (1,070 km2), of which 405 square miles (1,050 km2) is land and 7.1 square miles (18 km2) (1.7%) is water. It is part of the Pennyroyal Plateau region of Kentucky and is part of western Appalachia. Over 40% of the county's land is covered with timber.

Tattoo Instagram is a new way to see body art, and a great place to shop for new 타투도안 ink. It’s like a virtual gallery where you can see images of new body art. Not only is it a great way to see new designs, but it’s also a great marketing tool. It allows you to browse through thousands of photos of ink from all over the world.
Forearm Popular Tattoos
The forearm is a popular place for tattoos. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, tattoos on the forearm often express a person’s faith or religion. A cross, a symbol of love and devotion, is also a popular choice. Other popular choices include flowers. While each flower has its own significance, most are associated with positive or inspirational messages.
Another popular forearm tattoo is a dragon. These mythical creatures are popular in many cultures. They are considered wise and powerful. A dragon tattoo on the forearm is both whimsical and unique. The tattoo is often found on Chinese or Japanese forearms. Some dragon tattoos are realism, while others are traditional. Some people also choose cartoon designs for their tattoos. These designs are a fun alternative to traditional tattoos.
Tattoos on the forearm can be very intricate. Some tattoo artists prefer to use tribal designs on the forearm, which are ideal for thick tattoo designs with lots of color. However, this style of tattoo may offend other people. If you are not comfortable with the idea of getting a tribal tattoo on your forearm, then consider getting a smaller design instead.
Animal Popular Tattoos
Animal tattoos are popular on Instagram. Whether domestic or untamed, these tattoos often have top billing on the forearm. The bicep is the second-most-common spot for an animal tattoo. Other popular places for animal tattoos are the chest, quad, and quadriceps.
Some animal tattoos are simply for show, while others are symbolic. In honor of bees, which pollinate crops, some people choose to get bee tattoos. Another popular animal tattoo is a bull, which is considered a symbol of strength and power. Butterfly tattoos are also popular, as they represent rebirth.
If you’re into horror movies and love to live in the wild, a snake tattoo could be for you. The animal is a symbol of fortitude and strength, and it’s a symbol of freedom and independence. Other animals with animal tattoos are tigers, which sit at the top of the food chain.
Some people like to wear animal tattoos as a way to show their love for the creatures and the world around them. These tattoos can be small and easy to hide, or they can be large and permanent. People can also choose an animal tattoo that represents a person or something they care about. There are hundreds of different animal species that can be engraved into an animal tattoo.
Tribal Popular Tattoos
The trend of tribal tattoos is very popular on Instagram. Tattoo fans can find inspiration from tribal patterns on a wide variety of bodies, including the back, sleeve, and leg. These designs are based on geometric patterns with symmetry and asymmetry. In addition, tribal tattoos can be placed anywhere on the body, but larger tattoos are typically placed on the back. Most men choose to get this kind of tattoo on the upper back and women, on the lower back.
Many tribal tattoos feature symbols or designs that have religious significance. Some represent a person’s ancestry, while others have spiritual significance. Regardless of the symbolism, tribal tattoos are always made of black ink. Those who are interested in tattoos should be aware of the history and culture behind their chosen designs.
There are several talented artists you can follow to get inspired by tribal designs. A few tattoo artists in Instagram are based in the United States, including Whang-od Oggay, an artist from the Philippines. Her work is often inspired by African and European folk art, and she also specializes in tribal-style tattoos. She has even done a tattoo inspired by pop culture.
Rose tattoos are a beautiful way to add a personal touch to a piece of body art. The floral motif has many faces and lends itself to a range of different emotions, making them a great choice for people who like to tell their story through their art. Each individual rose has its own story to tell, and these stories may align with one ideal or a combination of many.
Some people choose to get a rose tattoo to symbolize hope, love, or balance. It is also a great choice for those who want a traditional tattoo style. Rose tattoos can be found throughout the world, making them a classic style tattoo. If you’re considering a rose tattoo, research historical meanings and cultural traditions surrounding the flower. | [

My mum and I were on our way to pick my father up from Howrah Station. Usually, we just send the car, but we decided to tag along this time. I love these trips to the station for several reasons. I like long car rides and the time they give me to let my mind wander. And I like the Howrah Bridge. Even if I can’t see the river, I like looking at the rivets and bars that hold the bridge together. I look at a particular rivet and wonder how important it is to the entire structure of the bridge. Or a particularly small piece of steel, serving no apparent purpose, catches my eye. What would happen if that piece wasn’t there? Would the bridge collapse?
And thus my mind travels into the familiar (and strangely comforting) territories of mayhem and destruction. But today, when I was crossing the bridge, an odd thought skipped line and found its way ahead. What would happen if a plane were to crash headlong into the bridge right now?
I got an image of a plane diving nose first into the road, right in front of me. Would the bridge collapse? I should get out of the car then, and run back. But if the plane has crashed right in front of me, then I won’t have the time. Okay, we’ll make the plane crash a little ahead. I will then get my mum and me out of the car. Do we run backwards, or do we jump into the river? If the bridge collapses right away, then running back won’t help. Also, I don’t want to risk losing my mum in the crowd. So we jump into the water. Does my mum remember how to swim? More importantly, can she swim in her silk sari? I know I can, but I am not sure if I can swim and hold on to my mum at the same time.
And before I knew it, I was terrified.

I was browsing through Wikipedia as usual, when I decided to read up on the September 11 attacks. As I started reading, it struck me that the song I was listening to was Fiona Apple's version of Across the Universe. She was singing "Nothing's gonna change my world", and I was staring at a picture of a plane crashing into a tower. | [

Here is a a custom 3″ mandrel exhaust we built for a 1968 Lincoln.
Customer is eventually building a motor for it and re doing the suspension, etc etc etc, but in the mean time wanted the car to sound cool.
We used Mild steel mandrels and mig welded it – customer didn’t want a show car.
Even tho its a 1968, there is very little real estate to route the tubing through this car – everything interferes.
The crappy black on it is a Duplicolor High Heat spray paint – just to keep it from rusting – it will be cermi-coated later. | [

Dr Conradie's got my back: Tips for correct sleeping posture
In this edition of Dr Conradie Has Got My Back, the good doctor answers some of your burning questions regarding chiropractors and correct sleeping posture.
How will a chiropractor treat my problem?
If your chiropractor determines that your case can be treated by a chiropractor he/she will seek to remove any fixations present. The treatment generally consist of highly specialized adjustments.
These are performed by hand and is done with a high velocity, low amplitude thrust being applied to a specific vertebrae in the spine. These adjustments are safe and some patients experience immediate relief as the joint motion is restored to its normal position and the nerve is free of irritation or pressure.
In most cases however, some patients require a few treatments in order to correct the problem. No two patients react the same. When an adjustment is performed you might hear a click when it is done. This bones aren't breaking or cracking, there are discs in between the vertebrae that have gas bubbles inside that just burst when the adjustment is done.
Tips for correct sleeping posture:
The proper way to sleep is either on your back with a pillow under your knees or on your side with a pillow in between your legs. This pillow will take the pressure off the lower back and prevent it from twisting. Place a pillow under your neck. Make sure it isn't too high or too low.
Your head and the rest of your spine should be in line with one another. Lying in the fetal position when your head is tucked in and your knees pulled up reverses your lower back and neck curves and increase the stress on your spine. Never ever sleep on your stomach! Lying in your tummy puts undue stress on your neck, mid back and hips.
Are chiropractors opposed to medical treatment?
Certainly NOT! Chiropractors recognize that there are many things that can go wrong in the body and frequently either medication or surgery are the only appropriate option.
Each chiropractor is trained to know when they can help and when to refer the patient to another health care provider. Chiropractors will serve patients to the best of their ability and make sure patients get the help they need as soon as possible.
Will my medical aid pay for my chiropractic treatments?
Virtually all medical aids in South Africa will reimburse for your treatment. It does however depend on each person's payment plan as to the extent to which they are covered. It is best to find out from your medical aid whether you will be covered before your chiropractic treatment.
Is chiropractic care covered by Workman's Compensation (COIDS)?
Yes! Since 1994 chiropractic care has been covered by COIDS. This means that injuries obtained whilst on duty may be treated by a chiropractor without referral from another physician. All costs including X-rays and the treatments will be reimbursed by COIDS.
Second only to the common cold, lower back pain is the most common cause for loss of man hours at work every year. In the USA, chiropractic care costs up to 50% less than comparable medical care and requires 50% less sick leave before returning to work.
For any more information or for an appointment, call us on 041-581 3990 or you can follow me on Facebook: Dr Ernsl Conradie Chiropractor or email me directly at [email protected]. Our practice is situated at 108 Main Road in Walmer, Port Elizabeth.

Leaders of the world’s 20 biggest economies will gather in India this weekend amid divisions over fossil fuels, climate finance and energy transitions.
The meeting comes during the world’s hottest summer on record, with drought and other extreme weather events impacting tens of millions of people on multiple continents.
But geopolitical disagreements have kept countries from agreeing on how to tackle the climate problem, and many governments have hardened their positions since leaders last met in November.
“There’s a big risk that they don’t rise above the divisions that we saw in Goa and Chennai with the energy ministers and the climate and environment ministers meeting,” said Alden Meyer, a senior associate at E3G.
It could be the first time that the G20 doesn’t issue a leaders’ declaration, in part due to sharp splits over Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The 20 nations represented at the talks account for around 80 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and a failure to reach agreement on issues such as phasing out fossil fuels would make it much harder to find consensus among the nearly 200 countries that will meet later this year for global climate talks in the United Arab Emirates.
Climate finance and debt relief will likely be featured issues at the G20, which comes on the heels of a climate summit in Nairobi, Kenya, where developing countries called on wealthy, polluting nations to contribute more money to help poorer regions bear the impacts of climate change. India, which is presiding as president of this year’s G20, has said that climate finance will be a top priority.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters this week that President Joe Biden will focus on efforts to reshape the world’s multilateral development banks and call on G20 members to provide debt relief to developing countries.
The U.S. has been leading a push for reform of the World Bank. It has also sought to offer developing nations an alternative to Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative, a global infrastructure investment program that Sullivan insisted was not the reason behind changes at the U.S.-led bank.
“We believe that there should be high-standard, noncoercive lending options available to low- and middle-income countries. That’s a fact,” Sullivan said. “It’s also a fact that World Bank reform is not about China.”
The Biden administration has requested billions of dollars for the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund as part of a supplemental budget request. But it requires approval from Congress, which has been reluctant to provide additional international assistance, particularly for climate efforts.
“There’s a long record of talking a big game on international funding and then not being able to actually provide that when it comes time,” said Joe Thwaites, a senior advocate on international climate finance at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “I think the other major developed nations are going to be wary about being left to pick up the bill on their own if the U.S. pushes through an ambitious agenda but then bails on actually providing the money for it.”
Those divisions don’t bode well for the weekend summit. Meetings among G20 climate and energy ministers in the run-up to the leaders’ summit failed to reach consensus on issues such as phasing out of fossil fuels or setting a target to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030.
While many G20 countries back those objectives, others have blocked them from moving forward, such as Saudi Arabia, China and Russia.
Disagreements over the role of carbon capture and storage also emerged in those meetings. The U.S. has said “unabated” fossil fuels — a term used to describe fossil fuel plants that are not equipped with carbon capture systems — need to be phased down, and it has been pushing for a so-called carbon management goal, an effort that hasn’t been well received by some countries.
Fossil fuels subsidies are also a point of contention. The G20 pledged to phase out “inefficient” fossil fuel subsidies more than a decade ago but has made virtually no progress. A study last month by the International Institute for Sustainable Development found that G20 countries spent more than $1 trillion on fossil fuel subsidies last year. The IMF says ending those subsidies could provide countries with additional revenue for clean energy.
The absence of Chinese President Xi Jinping at the weekend summit could also hinder progress.
A meeting between Xi and President Joe Biden during last year’s G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, was seen as helping spur agreement on action to halt rising temperatures. But relations between the U.S. and China have become more strained since then, and the global economy has showed signs of dragging.
Leaders managed to forge agreement at the G20 last year over phasing down “unabated coal power.” But it’s not clear that they can repeat that promise this weekend, given that India and other developing nations want to expand the pledge to include all | [

Web browsing is one of the most common and important services provided by smartphones. However, it currently suffers from long delays and creates a huge drain on the battery lifetime of smartphones. These limitations are caused by complex interactions between the processing flow in mobile web browsers and specialized characteristics of the wireless radio interface, and by the processing limitations of the smartphones. This project addresses these limitations by focusing on three intertwined issues: (i) various techniques to reorganize the computation sequence of the web browser to let the wireless radio interface enter sleep earlier, are designed, implemented and evaluated; (ii) practical data mining based methods are introduced to predict the user viewing time of webpages and determine when the smartphone should switch to low power state, considering the resource limitations of the smartphone and various tradeoffs between delay and power; and (iii) a new architecture is proposed to shift the computing from smartphones to the virtual-machine based proxy to address the computation limitations in smartphones considering scalability issues and bandwidth constraints. This project will make significant theoretical and technical advances on reducing the power consumption and access delay of web browsing in wireless networks. The success of this project will affect many people's daily life, making smartphones last longer and web browsing faster. The results of the project will be disseminated widely through high quality publications and presentations. The proposed research will also be integrated with the education curricula at the Pennsylvania State University.

Standard drug tests look for THC rather than CBD. But CBD users are still at risk of failing drug screenings. Find out how long CBD stays in your body. How long CBD lasts in the human body, and how long the effects persist, depends on a variety of factors, including how it’s consumed.
How Long Does CBD Stay in Your System?
Cannabidiol (CBD), and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two of the most well-known compounds in cannabis plants. The latter has psychoactive effects and causes the high marijuana is famous for. THC use impairs judgment and coordination.
As a result, THC and its byproducts are what’s tested for in standard 5-panel and 10-panel drug tests. Pure CBD will not show up on these tests. Tests that can detect CBD are available but they’re more expensive and are not widely used.
How Long Does CBD Stay in Your Urine?
In some cases of heavy use, CBD can stay in the system for up to a week, and windows of detection extend to more than a month. In the case of single exposures, THC and its metabolites are detectable in urine for about 3 days after the last time taken.
Most urine tests come back positive if you consume more than 2,000 mg of legal CBD products per day. This might seem like a large number but frequent use of CBD products could trigger a false-positive test result. This is a possible outcome when you consider that CBD and THC accumulate in the body.
How Long Does CBD Stay in Your Blood?
Blood tests focus on recent use. THC is only detectable in blood for approximately 5 hours, but its metabolites can remain in the system for up to 7 days.
Taking CBD products with unknown amounts of THC would only yield a valid result if a lab test was done on a blood sample within this short period of time.
How Long Does CBD Stay in Your Saliva?
THC can be found in saliva for about 72 hours but chronic use of CBD products tainted with THC could extend this window of detection. Analyzing saliva to detect CBD is rare.
How Long Does CBD Stay in Your Hair?
In general, substances such as CBD can be detected in hair up to about 3 months after they were last taken. Trace amounts of THC will likely not show up in a hair test.
How Long Do the Effects of CBD Last?
The duration of CBD’s effects depend largely on the method of consumption, but in general, CBD lasts between 2 and 6 hours.
Smoking or vaping causes the substance to enter the body rapidly via the lungs. Two teaspoons of a concentrated CBD tincture taken sublingually can also take effect within an hour. These fast-acting modes of administration tend to wear off sooner too.
Chewables have to go through the GI tract before entering the bloodstream, so effects take a little longer to kick in with peak blood levels being reached at around three hours after ingestion. This method of consumption has a more prolonged effect lasting up to eight hours. People often over-consume edibles because the results aren’t instant.
Topical applications like creams also last longer. Because CBD is not psychoactive, it’s more difficult to determine when it’s actually taking effect.
How Does CBD Affect the Brain?
Research on THC in the 1990s led to the discovery of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Scientists found that our bodies naturally make molecules that are similar to cannabinoids from cannabis plants.
These molecules support our immune systems and are broken down when they’ve completed their function. There are receptors for endocannabinoids all over the body including the central nervous system (CNS). And as it turns out, THC binds to them and CBD does so weakly or not at all. CBD may in fact reduce the effects of THC by blocking it.
CBD influences the release of neurotransmitters in the brain which impact pain, anxiety, sleep, and other functions.
Factors That Influence Detoxing from CBD
Regardless of gender, CBD is generally believed to have an elimination half-life of one to two days. This means that half of the dose leaves the body at this time. But how long it lasts is not the same for everyone. Unique factors that determine how quickly CBD is expelled include:
- Weight – CBD is fat-soluble and is stored in fatty tissue
- Frequency of use – CBD can accumulate in your system
- Mode of ingestion
Most drug tests look for THC rather than CBD. If you are concerned about an upcoming drug test, avoid the use of CBD products that could contain unknown amounts of THC. THC can typically be detected within these windows:
- Urine – 3 to 30 days
- Blood – 5 hours up to a week
- Saliva – 72 hours or more with heavy | [

Did you know that we are exposed to radiation levels on a daily basis? Radiation can occur naturally and by man-made instruments or appliances. Radiation comes up from the ground, from space particles, from our home, even our smoke detectors. Although, we typically receive small, minute levels at a given period of time, our bodies still absorb the radiation nonetheless. The annual average dose per person from all natural and man-made sources is about 350 mrems, but it is not uncommon for any of us to receive more than that in a given year (largely due to medical procedures). In fact, 80% of our radiation is from naturally occurring means.
Because radiation is an everyday part of our lives, we cannot avoid it. Our home appliances emit small amounts of radiation, as do our cellular phones. Even though we may not like the idea of being exposed to radiation; we can, however, reduce our risks by controlling, to some extent, our exposure to it. This calculator can assist you in finding out how much radiation you receive on a yearly basis from natural means and from un-natural means.
Natural Ways to Reduce Radiation in The Body
According to the website, survival-spot, the author provides natural alternatives to assisting the body in ridding itself of radiation exposure rather than ingesting potassium-iodide. Foods such as kelp, rosemary, spirulina, miso soup and niacin all assist the body in fighting radiation damage. Making these foods a regular part of your diet, could help lower your chances of radiation damage to the body.
Other foods that may help in combating radiation sickness are foods that naturally detoxify the body. Foods such as reishi mushrooms, green and black teas, garlic, nettles, dandelions, ginseng, lentils, collards and mustard greens.
Everyone is so concerned about radiation levels increasing due to the disaster in Japan. Ironically, we absorb radiation everyday. Knowing the proper levels of radiation we are exposed to each year can help us stay healthier. Those that are concerned about limiting their exposure to radiation can eat foods that have detoxifying properties, as well as staying away or limiting exposure of appliances and machines that radiate radiation. | [

The Earliest Music in Ancient Egypt
By: Heidi Köpp-Junk
Music is a human universal. Already by the middle of the 3rd millennium BCE a great number of Egyptian texts and images referred to music and musicians, and attest to a complex hierarchy of musicians. But the beginnings of Egyptian music are much earlier. What were the types of musicians and instruments in Ancient Egypt, how were they used, and where did they come from?
The social status of musicians is demonstrated in three ways. First are the monuments that the musicians erected or dedicated on their own, like the tomb of the flutist Ipi in Dahshur from 2600 BCE. Some musicians are mentioned or depicted on objects in the tombs of others, like the harpist Hekenu and the chantress Iti, portrayed on a false door and dating to 2470 BCE.
In addition to the archaeological record, the status of musicians is obvious from their designations like 'head of a group of musicians,' sometimes even together with official or administrative titles. Texts indicate that male and female musicians were connected to the royal court or to a temple, and some female singers have the title "chantress of a god." But, like today, vocalists could also be booked by private individuals.
Uniform occupational clothing for musicians is not attested. Sometimes, female musicians are depicted splendidly dressed, sometimes rather scantily. From time to time, tattoos are seen adorning female musicians. Moreover, no special hairstyle is known for Egyptian musicians.
A great number of instruments were used in Ancient Egypt, known from iconographic, textual, and archaeological sources.
Aerophones, trumpets, flutes, oboes, and clarinette are well-documented. The trumpet was mainly used in the military context, serving the transmission of command signals since at least 1500 BCE. Two trumpets, made of silver and bronze, were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Thanks to a recording from the BBC in 1939 we may listen to these trumpets being played.
Membranophones, better known as drums, are attested in the form of barrel drums, and round or rectangular frame drums. The drum is also a military instrument, but it was used in the religious context as well. In addition to barrel drums, round frame drums are likewise attested. They occur quite often, and were used in the religious context. Examples are depicted in the temples of Philae and Dendera, and Athribis.
Idiophones are, instruments whose entire body vibrates, such as clappers, sistra, rattles, bells, cymbals. Rattles were used since earliest times. Clappers were made of wood, bone, or ivory and often have the shape of human hands. A sistrum is equipped with a long handle and a naos or loop formed top. Often, the head of the goddess Hathor is integrated in the instrument. It is known since 2500 BCE. Bells and cymbals appear at the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE, and are attested as artifacts especially in Graeco-Roman times (4th century BCE-4th century CE).
Chordophones are harps, lutes, and lyres. Harps are attested since 2600 BCE, and appear in religious and private contexts, including richly decorated examples. These instruments were played both by men and women in seated or standing positions. Many different types of lyres are known in Egypt since 2000 BCE. The lute consists of a neck and a soundboard made of wood or tortoise, covered with hide.
Reconstructing ancient Egyptian music
There was no musical notation system in Ancient Egypt. Therefore, no melodies are known, the Egyptian music has faded away. But song texts have survived, and the analysis of original instruments and their depictions give valuable hints. Moreover, replicas of instruments such as lutes and flutes elucidate the mode of playing. It has been suggested that the music system was pentatonic, with an octave of five rather than seven notes.
Playing replicas of ancient Egyptian instruments has revealed much valuable information. The dancer's lute has six sound holes on its surface; these holes cause the curious posture of the musicians in various ancient depictions, who hold the instrument in the crook of the arm, more precisely on the forearm. Holding it like a modern guitar would have meant that the sound holes would have been covered. Moreover, keeping the lute in the crook of the arm, leads to playing the strings in the forepart of the instrument's body. At this position the fingers of the right hand are exactly above the point of the greatest distance between the strings and the neck, before it narrows towards the headstock.

DENVER (CBS4) – A Denver restaurateur who turned down a campaign visit from Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney says he’s now getting death threats.
Denver police have been on close patrol of Rosa Linda’s Mexican Cafe in the Highlands neighborhood since news came out about a decision they made over the summer.
Oscar Aguirre runs Rosa Linda’s and his parents own it. He told CBS4 a member of Romney’s campaign contacted the restaurant in August.
“The way he presented it to us was because we’re Latinos, we’re Mormon, we’re a small business, what a great venue to host a political presidential campaign stop.”
“Did he ask to come and eat here or just to do a political stop?” CBS4’s Jodi Brooks asked Aguirre.
“Be a political stop,” he said.
The family huddled in the kitchen and made a decision.
“We said No because, Mom said, we’re not Republicans, we’re not going to be a political campaign stop,” Aguirre said.
This week when Mitt Romney dined at the Chipolte in Denver’s Stapleton neighborhood in advance of the the presidential debate at the University of Denver, Westword ran the story about Rosa Linda’s decision. And once it was online, word spread.
Since Wednesday more than 500 emails have come in, and most are not nice. Also, the phone hasn’t stopped ringing.
Aguirre played a voicemail from one irate caller for CBS4. The man on the other end of the phone said “Just want to let you know we will no longer be doing business with you.”
Aguirre says all they wanted was not be a political platform, for anyone.
“Obama, or anybody else wants to hold a political stop here, we’re not here for that. I’ll say no,” Aguirre said.
It’s a restaurant that just wanted to stay out of the political spotlight.
“All I said was ‘No thank you,’ ” Aguirre said.
“It’s personal now isn’t it?” Brooks asked Aguirre.
“Yeah. It is when I get a phone call and they say ‘I know where you live. I’m going to get you. Watch your back.”
Aguirre just wants things to get back to being business as usual, but with the bad has also come some good. The initial Westword article mentioned that Rosa Linda’s hosts an annual Thanksgiving dinner which feeds 5,500 people in need.
Donations are now coming in for that, and so are some new customers. | [

The issue of mental health is one that frontline emergency services agencies across Australia have become all too familiar with, and after the pandemic, government must do more to support them, Vernon White writes.
Australia’s mental health care landscape has changed significantly in recent years. While it had many advantages, from a community response perspective, deinstitutionalisation and the resulting movement into the community of people with severe mental illness that occurred in Australia in the 1990s has resulted in emergency services, particularly police, becoming the default first point of response for managing mental health crises.
Currently, police spend an enormous amount of time responding to callouts related to a mental health incidents. These calls were expected to dramatically increase during the pandemic response, and could become an even more serious concern as the country moves its policy focus to life after the pandemic, according to experts. They are warning governments that they must expect that the pandemic will cause significant trauma in the community, and will both greatly impact those already battling mental health problems and create new mental health issues for people who were heavily affected.
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Health of the Nation report identified that 65 per cent of all patients who see a general practitioner speak about their mental health, and in March 2020 Australia’s national crisis support service Lifeline advised that they have seen a 25 per cent increase in calls compared to the same time last year.
Demand for mental health response services has been eating away at frontline service providers, medical and non-medical. In fact, a survey of 1200 general practitioners conducted by the RACGP identified that two in three doctors reported psychological issues as the most common ailment they now treated. The expected and occurring demand is a further difficulty for these stretched resources.
The challenge in Australia has historically been a lack of dedicated resources, as seen by the high number of mental health patients being seen by General Practitioners. Clearly, the impact of mental health on the healthcare system is already extreme, let alone prepared to take on the surge in demand that is sure to follow a pandemic.
The president of the RACGP, Harry Nespolon, argues that there are few places for those battling mental illness to go, and as a result the impact on general practitioners is great. We can as well see that that impact of COVID-19 is already further burdening this system and will get worse as we move through the stages of the pandemic and toward a post-pandemic world.
The data already shows that mental health calls often involve medical emergencies, rather than crimes, and usually do not require a police presence except to facilitate access to medical care. On top of this, the brutal reality is that the police have not been provided with the right tools or training for such interventions, and their response is often inadequate.
The past, current and future state of mental health in Australia appears to be problematic from a response and access perspective to mental health professionals.
Both frontline non-medical professionals and medical facilities alike will see an exacerbated situation due to COVID-19, and they need more support to deal with this.
Recently, the Federal Government invested in a $74 million mental health package to expand telehealth services and fund crisis hotlines, and although this has seen an uptake by people in need, the actual number of people accessing mental health resources has declined according to the National Mental Health Commission.
This is a troubling sign, as direct access will need to increase to deal with increased demand after COVID-19.
The flattening of the pandemic curve has predominantly been successful from an Australian context, but the mental health impact of the pandemic will be significant, and frontline services are unprepared to deal with it and chronically under-resourced.
They are not able to deal even with current demand, let alone growing demand for mental health services. Some have called on the government to increase funding to frontline services the way it has with mainstream health care to allow for growth in mental health care programs. This could allow them to better ensure that the mental health of Australians is being given the same consideration as their physical health.
While flattening the curve has been fundamental to fight the current pandemic, there will also a need to mind the gap. That gap, which is the growing difference between demand for mental health care and access to that care, was already great before COVID-19, and experts are making the case that the pandemic will have serious mental health consequences, including a growth in suicide.
Any post-pandemic health strategy considered by Australia’s governments must consider frontline services and mental health. The government must respond to the increased need for mental health services, as well as other mainstream professional services. After all, Australia is trying to walk away from the pandemic as healthy as possible, and for that, the need for healthy minds couldn’t be more important. | [

Weeds & Herbicides
As part of an IPM program it is important to scout for, and identify weeds, specifically during the Critical Weed-free Period, the short time when weed interference can cause large yield losses.
As well, it is important to identify herbicide injury. All herbicides can cause crop injury, either from soil splash on the leaves, root uptake, post-emergent application, spray drift or spray overlaps. Herbicide carry-over can also damage subsequent crops. | [

Gov. Brian Kemp Extends Public Health Executive Order
Governor Brian Kemp extended the current public health executive order and COVID-19 restrictions.
The executive order went into effect this morning and runs until October 31st. It reiterates an executive ban on gatherings of more than fifty people and elaborates that groups over fifty are only allowed if they are spread across more than one single location.
President Donald Trump's campaign event in Macon today will likely violate that order, and has been referred to by some as a potential "super spreader event". Citing a Georgia Tech public health expert, GPB News says that a low estimate of 500 attendees creates a 98% chance that any person attending the event will contract COVID-19. The President's rallies generally draw crowds of thousands, with little to no mask-wearing or social distancing.
The public health emergency is in effect until November 9th. | [

The Nobel committee will presumably be disappointed, but President Donald Trump should cancel his planned June 12 summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
The meeting is much more likely to serve Kim’s interests rather than ours and could well begin the unraveling of the pressure campaign that is our most reliable point of leverage against the regime. There is every reason for Kim to want a superficially successful summit in Singapore, and the easiest way to deny him one is to call the whole thing off.
The past week has shown that the North Koreans aren’t to be underestimated—something that is easy to forget because the regime is not just heinous and evil, but ridiculous. Pyongyang managed to wrap the president around the axle on “the Libyan model” and got him to go wobbly on rapid and complete denuclearization with just a few pointed statements.
The Hermit Kingdom can barely feed its people and can’t keep its lights on, but it is good at this. Its existence literally depends on its shrewd diplomatic gamesmanship with the West, winning concessions that give it an economic lifeline while still preserving and advancing its weapons systems.
Trump deserves credit for tightening a sanctions regime with considerable slack in it and intimidating Kim with his battery of insults and bombast. But the president was pushing on an open door: If history is any guide, the North wanted to use its bout of missile tests to get back to the negotiating table, and so it has.
While Trump imagines himself doing what no president has before—solving the conflict on the Korean Peninsula — the North Koreans believe they can get Trump to do what other presidents have done before—give it a favorable deal in the hopes of solving the conflict on the Korean Peninsula.
Although the North Koreans surely worry about the “madman” theory of Trump, they also must consider him in some respects an easy mark. His weakness is obviously his susceptibility to flattery and his self image as the world’s best deal-maker. Throw in an allergy to details and the North Koreans have plenty of material to work with. | [

Amara Okereke will star as Eliza Doolittle. Okereke was recently seen in the Almeida’s acclaimed production of Spring Awakening and she won the Stage Debut Award for her performance as Cosette in Les Miserables.
She will be joined by Harry Hadden-Paton who reprises his performance as Henry Higgins which he originated at the Lincoln Center in New York and for which he received Tony and Grammy award nominations. Hadden-Paton has worked extensively on stage in both London and New York and is perhaps best known for his roles as Martin Charteris in The Crown (Netflix) and Bertie Pelham in Downton Abbey (ITV).
Also joining the cast is Dame Vanessa Redgrave who will play Mrs Higgins. Redgrave is returning to the West End stage for the first time since her appearance in The Inheritance in 2018. Maureen Beattie will also play Mrs Pearce and Sharif Afifi will play Freddie Eynesford-Hill. Further casting will be announced soon.
My Fair Lady will transfer to the London Coliseum for a limited summer engagement in what will be the first major West End revival of the show for 21 years. Performances begin on 7 May 2022 with an opening night on 18 May 2022.
The show will be directed by Bartlett Sher, with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lernet and music by Frederick Loewe.
My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady”. But who is really being transformed? | [

Since August 2016, telecommuting was implemented in the country and in these three years three months already add up to 12,888 people hired in that modality, according to data from the Ministry of Labor.
They are 0.40% compared to the figures for adequate employment in September 2019, published by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC) and which stood at 38.5% nationwide.
This is that 4 out of every 1000 are under that modality.
At the moment 2125 private companies, 10 public institutions (ministries and secretariats) and 9 public companies use this mechanism.
62.77% are men and 37.23% are women. Of these, 3.18% corresponds to people with disabilities.
Nataly Mayorga, project manager Youth Employment and Telecommuting, says they suggest telecommuting to companies, but that the decision will depend on the business.
He comments that there are two forms of execution: permanent, when it is outside the premises with the option to assist in case of requirements; and partial, for those who work outside the company up to a maximum of 24 hours per week and the rest of the days in the office.
Mayorga says that companies must provide the entire structure, although there may be agreements with the worker. He points out that there are benefits in savings and productivity. | [

It was the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month one hundred years ago when guns fell silence. The combat phase of the Great War was over. The Allies, including Great Britain, France, and the United States were victorious over the Central Powers: Germany and its allies.
The United States joined the war in April of 1917, when the Congress passed a resolution declaring war on the Central Powers at the behest of President Woodrow Wilson, who had been re-elected on a promise to keep the country out of the European war. Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare and their secret promise in the Zimmermann Telegram to Mexico to regain the territory it lost to the United States in the 1840s were the straws that broke the camel’s back as far as the President was concerned.
President Wilson appointed General John J. (“Black Jack) Pershing to head the American Expeditionary Force and sent him to France to meet other allied leaders. Meanwhile, back the states, the National Guard was federalized and plans were made for a draft in order to have enough men to send to Europe. Veterans of the American Civil War did not recognize the training recruits were receiving at basic training camps, where physical training was a big part of the daily life. Training included a voyage across the Atlantic to France and more training before American troops could see combat.
When American troops arrived in France, the French commanders wanted to place them with the already trained French forces, but General Pershing refused to go along with the the French demand. The situation the Americans were going to find themselves in was a stalemate in trench warfare that would see 50,000 doughboys lose their lives in a little over a year of fighting. The two million Americans would make a difference in Allies defeating the German and the Central Powers in 1918.
Life in the Western Front was a world of mud. Americans digging trenches would find parts of bodies from previous battles, but trenches were necessary for shelter from German artillery. Communications trenches joined the front line, where the troops went “over the top”, to the dugouts where soldiers waited for orders to attack the enemy and aid stations where the wounded were first treated before being transported to hospitals in the rear. It’s been one hundred years since the end of that war, and bodies are still being found, as for example this Daily Mail article (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2099187/Bodies-21-German-soldiers-buried-alive-WW1-trench-perfectly-preserved-94-years-later.html)
American soldiers participated a number of major battles in the closing months of the war. In 1918, the Germans were having a hard time replacing their wounded and deceased soldiers while Americans were landing close to ten thousand men a day. As 1918 progressed, it was clear, with American help, the Allies were winning the war. On the other hand, the German people were tired. Food shortages were brought on by the Royal Naval blockade of the German coast and their young men were being slaughtered. When the Kaiser finally abdicated and went to live in exile in Holland, the Germans were ready to talk peace. The armistice came at 11 O’clock, 11 November, 1918.
Robert Rubin noted in his book, The Last of the Doughboys, that Americans have all but forgotten the lads who fought in Flanders. There is a memorial plaque in the wall of the narthex of the church I used belong to in Memphis listing the names of congregation members who lost their lives fighting in that war. The war memorial in the small town in western North Carolina, where I now live, lists the names of whose who made the supreme sacrifice in World War I, along with those of Swain County who were killed in the Second World War, Korea and/or Vietnam. The problem, however, is that the wars in the the 20th and 21th century have wiped the away memories of the Great War in America. Besides, the National World War I Memorial is in Kansas City, not Washington. Then too, the veterans of that war are long since gone: Rubin interviewed men who were over 100 years old before the last one died in 2011.
Neil Hanson has written a book in which he observers how the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States remembered the dead, particularly those who could not be identified. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery, the President of the United States lays a wreath on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. In the UK the Sunday before November 11 is Remembrance Day and wreaths are laid at the cenotaph in London and at other memorials through out the country. In addition to the memorials and cemeteries in the United States, the American dead from World War I are buried in cemeteries strung across northwest Europe.

Glass Houses In Japan (Zion-025)
Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, released in March 1980, was his biggest selling album to date and spawned two number one Billboard hits, “It’s Still Rock N Roll To Me” and “Don’t Ask Me Why.” He toured North America throughout the year including several sold out dates at Madison Square Garden in New York and The Forum in Los Angeles.
In 1981 Joel toured Australia, New Zealand and Japan for the third time in his career. The visit to Japan was seven dates long and took place from April 15th in Tokyo to April 24th in Kyoto. Probably due to the paucity of shows this year, not many titles have surfaced from these dates in current circulation.
Glass Houses In Japan presents two consecutive nights, the third show of the tour (and final of three in Tokyo) and the fourth show tour in Osaka. Both tapes are from the same taper who was quite active in the eighties and early nineties and who taped shows by Pink Floyd, Genesis, Toto, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Mick Jagger. The sound quality for both Tokyo and Osaka are very good but slightly distant, presenting a very good live atmosphere for these rare shows.
The setlist for these shows are the same as on all the Japan dates. He dropped many of the older songs featured in the 1980 shows (and recorded for Songs in The Attic, released in November 1981) and focused upon material from The Stranger, 52nd Street and Glass Houses.
Budokan, Tokyo, Japan – April 17th, 1981
Disc 1 (42:49): Opening, You May Be Right, My Life, Honesty, Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song), Piano Man, Don’t Ask Me Why, Vienna, The Stranger
Disc 2 (61:46): Stiletto, Until The Night, Let ‘Em In, Root Beer Rag, She’s Always A Woman, Just The Way You Are, Sleeping With A Television On, All For Leyna, Sometimes A Fantasy, Big Shot, It’s Still Rock And Roll To Me, I’ll Cry Instead, Band Introduction, Only The Good Die Young, Souvenir
April 17th is the third and final night in the Budokan. Songs in the East (Private Masters PM021/22) is another release documenting this show (and is the only other silver release of any of the Japan shows), and is sourced from an older audience tape.
Zion is very clear and enjoyable, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of the performance. Joel is extremely laid back and loose, telling jokes and interacting with the audience on many occasions. It’s often difficult to understand exactly what is going out without visual cues, but the crowd are laughing and really enjoying themselves.
Both “You May Be Right” and “My Life” are rocking and, dripping with bad attitude and sarcasm, set the tone of the night. Before starting “Honesty” Joel makes a joke about Rodan, speaking in a mock Japanese accent (something which a decade later would be considered racist and insensitive, but is all in good fun).
While he’s getting ready for “Piano Man,” putting on the harmonica holder, he imitates Bob Dylan and sings the opening lines to “She Belongs To Me.” He gives a very passionate rendition of the song, banging out the waltz meter with gusto. Afterwards, he relieves the tension afterwards by playing a bit of “Popeye The Sailor Man” and “Yankee Doodle” while the band start the Latin beat of “Don’t Ask Me Why.”
After playing “Until The Night” Joel leads the band into an impromptu version of Wings’ “Let ‘Em In.” They play the song up until the first verse as a tribute to Paul McCartney and his band who officially disbanded about this time.
Joel also offers a tribute to John Lennon later in the show with “I’ll Cry Instead.” The only encores are an impassioned version of “Only The Good Die Young” and “Souvenir,” which is, after “The Piano Man,” the second oldest song played the entire night.
Furitsu-Taiikukan, Osaka, Japan – April 20th, 1981
Disc 3 (40:18): Opening, You May Be Right, My Life, Honesty, Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song), Piano Man, Don’t Ask Me Why, Vienna, The Stranger

INDIANA – The full Wolf Moon rises tonight, Monday, January 17th.
It’s the first full Moon for 2022, reaching peak illumination at 6:48 p.m. EST. Look for the Moon to rise from the northeastern horizon around sunset this evening. At this moment, the Moon will reach its peak brightness, shining with a magnitude of -12.35.
The full Moon names come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not just to the full Moon itself.
It’s thought that January’s full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this time. It was traditionally believed that wolves howled due to hunger during winter, but we know today that wolves howl for different reasons. Howling and other wolf vocalizations are generally used to define territory, locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, and coordinate hunting.
Another fitting name for this full Moon is the Center Moon. Used by the Assiniboine people of the Northern Great Plains, it refers to the idea that this Moon roughly marks the middle of the cold season.
Other traditional names for the January Moon emphasize the harsh coldness of the season: Cold Moon (Cree), Frost Exploding Moon (Cree), Freeze Up Moon (Algonquin), and Severe Moon (Dakota). Hard Moon (Dakota) highlights the phenomenon of the fallen snow developing a hard crust.
Canada Goose Moon (Tlingit), Great Moon (Cree), Greetings Moon (Western Abenaki), and Spirit Moon (Ojibwe) have also been recorded as Moon names for this month.
January Moon phases, dates and times
|New Moon: January 2, 1:35 P.M.|
|First Quarter: January 9, 1:13 P.M.|
|Full Moon: January 17, 6:51 P.M.|
|Last Quarter: January 25, 8:42 A.M.|
How many Full Moons are there in 2022?
There will be 12 full Moons this year, one each month. Some years you can enjoy 13 Full Moons in one calendar year — the last time it happened was in 2020.
One lunar cycle (eight Moon phases) takes 29.5 days, which in total requires 354 days for 12 complete cycles. This is somewhat shorter than one calendar year, which is 365 or 366 days, so roughly every two or three, there is a 13th full Moon. | [

The longer that Lionsgate holds off on announcing who's been cast in The Hunger Games as Cinna, Katniss's stylist and friend, the more convinced I become that they're casting someone really huge in the role. Meanwhile, they're brought on two more little-known actors to play two of the other stylists; the studio has announced via their Twitter feed that Latarsha Rose will play Peeta's stylist Portia, and Brooke Bundy will play Octavia, a member of the team along with Cinna that helps Katniss prepare for the public stage. They also helpfully provided each actress's headshot, to save me the frantic google time; those photos are what you see above, with Rose on the left.
Bundy's acting credits are very limited, with just three titles listed on IMDB, but Rose has a fair amount of experience, including TV appearances on Law & Order and Bones and a handful of small movie roles in there too. The Hunger Games parts won't be huge for either actress, but like every other up-and-comer who's been cast in the film they're probably glad to be even a small part of such an enormous movie. As we know from the photos of Jennifer Lawrence in costume, the movie starts shooting soon in North Carolina. That Cinna announcement really ought to be coming any minute now.

When people think of Nevada, the Las Vegas Strip is often the first thing that comes to mind. From famous resorts like The Mirage and Mandalay Bay, to the Bellagio fountain and Paris's replica of the Eiffel Tower, Sin City is loaded with some of the most alluring tourist destinations in all of the United States.
But even though folks from around the world travel all the way to North America just to stay in posh resorts like Venetian and the Aria, there's a load more of Las Vegas Attractions to experience off the Strip. Whether you're looking for an alternative to riding New York-New York's rollercoaster for the umpteenth time, or some family-friendly sightseeing in everyone's favorite Southwest city, we hope the following guide makes your next Vegas trip a blast!
10 Top Things to Do in Las Vegas Off of the Strip
1. High Roller Observation Wheel
We'll start with this attraction because it's only a short walk from Strip casinos like the Flamingo and Caesar's Palace. The High Roller is essentially a giant Ferris wheel with enclosed cars that gives riders an amazing view of the city. You can find it near the endpoint of the LINQ's Zipline.
2. Fremont Street Experience
Before the Strip gained traction, Fremont Street was the most famous drag in the entire state. Located in downtown Las Vegas, Freemont is well known for its iconic neon signs and classic casinos like the Golden Nugget. In addition to fun attractions such as guided tours, light shows, and a zipline that carries riders over the street, visitors can also look forward to year round live music and free concerts. If you're looking for some unique shopping spots, head on over to Container Park between 7th and 8th Street.
3. The Springs Preserve
Just above 5 minutes from the Strip, you'll find this strange oasis. The Springs Preserve is loaded with various exhibits, including everything from a butterfly habitat to a life size replica of early Las Vegas. All other things being equal, this is the sort of place where kids and parents can meet halfway.
4. The Hoover Dam
A little southeast of Vegas past the semi-suburban cities of Henderson and Boulder City, you'll encounter one of America's most amazing works of construction. The dam was built during the Great Depression and still stands strong today.
It's a dam fine sight, believe us.
5. Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Drive just a little further past the Hoover Dam and you'll find what we like to think of as the fully flexed bicep of the Colorado River. Lake Mead offers a wide range of outdoor and water recreation, from camping, hunting, and hiking, to boating, swimming, and fishing.
6. Ethel M. Chocolate Factory and & Cactus Gardens
Chocolate and cactuses all in one spot? Someone poke me with a cactus spine, because I must be dreaming! While most chocolate lovers are familiar with the factory, we still surprise a lot of them with the fact that the site also hosts the largest botanical garden in Nevada.
7. Red Rock Canyon
West of Las Vegas past the suburb of Summerlin, you'll find this breathtaking national park and conservation area. Given the park's proximity to Vegas and the convenient loop road that circles through it, Red Rock Canyon makes a great destination for casual outdoor day trips.
There are more museums off Strip in Las Vegas than you can count on both hands. Talking about them would get boring pretty fast. Instead, we'll list those we consider the worthiest, and let you sort it out from there!
- National Atomic Testing Museum
- The Mob Museum
- Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum
- The Neon Museum
- The Pinball Hall of Fame
- Nevada State Museum
- Origen Museum
9. Valley of Fire State Park
If you've got the time and desire for an hour drive, consider heading northeast to experience one of Nevada's most amazing state park. This majestic recreational area has quite a few biking and hiking trails of varying difficulties, not to mention other worthwhile attractions. Just remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen!
10. Mount Charleston
If you want to get high, we suggest sticking to the natural stuff. Mount Charleston is only a 45 minute drive from the Strip and is nearly 12,000 ft. at its peak. As part of the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, it has a lot of modern conveniences and facilities for visitors to enjoy.
Bonus Suggestion: Speed Vegas
Since this is Las Vegas we're talking about, it seemed like eleven would be a better number to finish with. (Those who play craps will probably appreciate this magic number more than black jack and slot machine fans).

50CAL DJI Mavic Air 2 ND32/PL drone camera filter
DJI Mavic Air Camera Lens Filter features
- High-quality drone camera lens filters for the DJI Mavic Air 2.
- Improves the quality of your drone photos and video recordings.
- Simple and quick (dis) assembly of the filter.
- Super lightweight (0.76 - 0.80 grams).
- No adverse effect on the operation of the gimbal camera.
- Made of hardened optical glass (with high optical homogeneity).
- 16-layer multi-coating for a scratch-resistant surface.
- Unparalleled Optics: Optics are precision hand crafted and are compatible for use with Mavic Air 2 Drone.
- GimbalSafe: GimbalSafe technology ensures each filter frame goes through rigorous lightweight testing, which will have no negative effect on your drone gimbal.
- Coating: waterproof, dustproof, scratch resistant, oil resistant, color neutral coating ensures you get the best possible image when shooting outdoors.
- Storage protection: Each filter kit comes with a rugged magnetic filter housing and a microfiber cloth.
ND32 / PL filter compatible with Mavic Air 2 Drone
Freewell Gear's ND32 / PL filter is an excellent way to reduce the camera's shutter speed by 5 f-stops, effectively slowing down the shutter speed. This helps to capture sharp and vividly colorful images in the brightest sunlit conditions. This filter also allows you to capture the coveted'motion blur' effect that gives your shots a truly cinematic look, apart from protecting your images from unwanted glare from natural surfaces that reflect light.
What are ND / PL filters?
Neutral Density (ND) and Polarizing (PL) drone camera filters are intended to reduce and / or filter the amount of light entering the camera. When applied correctly, ND / PL filters provide richer colors and greater contrast (such as clouds against a clear sky). Videos become smoother and more cinematic due to an optimal shutter speed in combination with recording speed (frames per second). Lens filters also protect your camera lens from scratches and dust.

2012 has been a relatively quiet fire law year from the perspective of major legal rulings being handed down. In fact, in my annual review for Firehouse which I submitted today, I opted to not even discuss 2012 precedent setting case law (there really weren’t any to speak of) and instead focused on new cases and controversies that developed in 2012… and boy were there alot of them!!!!
Nevertheless, there were a couple of cases that were decided in 2012 that are worth noting. During this holiday week when there is not alot of legal headlines – we pause to take a look back.
Probably the most significant fire law ruling in 2012 was the only US Supreme Court fire service decision, Delia v. City of Rialto, also known by it’s name at the Supreme Court, Filarsky v. DeLia.
There are a few reasons that I opted not to bother discussing this case in the Firehouse article – but probably the biggest is the convoluted reasoning that the Supreme Court used in the case.
Ok… so at this point there are two groups of readers out there – one group saying I am not sure what he means by convoluted, and the other group saying – gee, I wouldn’t call the DeLia decision convoluted.
To the latter group (most likely Federal court judges, law professors, and legal scholars), I agree – convoluted may be a bit strong. Any second year law student should be able to follow the reasoning. BTW – you should stop reading here.
To the rest of the readers – only a legal theorist who has spent way too much time thinking and not enough time doing could possibly reach the conclusion of the Supreme Court in DeLia… and explaining the Court’s decision in full detail would bore us to the verge of tears… or drinking… or both. I did my best back to explain the ruling back in April, so if you are interested in a more in depth discussion by all means read the April 20, 2012 posting.
The thumbnail sketch of the DeLia case:
- A firefighter, Nicholas DeLia, was suspected of abusing his injury status.
- A private investigator observed him buying construction supplies including rolls of insulation.
- At an interrogation conducted by a private attorney hired by the city (Filarsky) he was asked to explain the purchase.
- DeLia said he intended to install the insulation in his house when he was better and it was still at his house in its original packaging.
- He was asked to produce the insulation and on advice of counsel he declined, citing an expectation of privacy because the rolls were in his house.
- DeLia was then given a written order by the fire chief to produce the insulation.
- Over the objection of his attorney he was accompanied to his house by two chief officers whereupon he went inside, and came out with the insulation.
- As a result the investigation was completed.
- FF DeLia then filed suit against the city, the chiefs and Filarsky alleging a violation of his 4th Amendment Rights. In essence FF DeLia claimed that the order to bring something out of his house constituted a warrantless search – the same as if the chiefs had entered his house without consent or if the chief had ordered him to consent to an entry.
- The courts in the case at all three levels (trial, court of appeals, and Supreme Court) held that what the chiefs did under Filarsky’s direction was a violation of DeLia’s Fourth Amendment Rights… but here is where it gets convoluted:
- The courts held that everyone… the fire chief, the others chiefs, the city and even the attorney, Filrsky – had qualified immunity… so FF Delia loses….
I am not sure how much we would gain by getting into the reasoning of the Court, suffice it to say I don’t buy it. A Constitutional violation – any Constitutional violation – should be vindicated – if by no other means than by a $1 nominal judgment. However, our decidedly conservative (anti-employee) courts have been developing an ever increasing body of convoluted case law that finds immunity for this violation and qualified immunity for that violation, and justice be damned. It’s like a judicial game of keep-a-way where even when you win, you lose… and DeLia – whose 4th Amendment Rights were clearly violated – well he loses. Sorry about making you go through all that trouble.
The next case is a wage and hour case, Freeman v. Key Largo Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department et al, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 22392 (11th Cir. 2012), decided on October 31, 2012. It is a peculiar case with (not surprisingly) the same outcome as we saw in Delia: a firefighter who sues his fire department-employer, loses.

Sustainability is built into the very fabric of our DNA.
We strive to be environmentally conscious and inclusive every step of the way, from the servers we use to run our screens to the way our employees get to work every day.
Our network of screens is fully wind-powered, using Wind Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from Terrapass that are Green-e certified.
TransitScreen’s global infrastructure runs on the cloud. Our servers are virtual, sharing physical computers with other servers, and run only when we need them — but they still draw a lot of power. Our cloud hosting provider has a 35% sustainable energy mix, so we buy RECs to make up the rest.
Not a single TransitScreen employee commutes to work in a car. We all either walk, take the metro or bus, bike, or even work from home.
When choosing our main office space, we put extra effort to be as centrally located as possible in livable, walkable areas to keep commutes as short and sustainable as possible. We provide public transportation subsidies and corporate memberships to Capital Bikeshare, and our facilities have built-in, secure bike parking.
Part of our mission is to reduce greenhouse gases by decreasing single-occupancy vehicle trips in cities. We know a huge factor in how likely people are to take alternative methods of transportation is real-time information — nobody likes waiting for a bus!
Our screens give people the information they need to make smarter choices, whether that’s trying out a new bikeshare or catching the subway home. They open people’s eyes to options with which they may not be familiar and give them that nudge to make a change.
We’re proud to partner with cities that share our values: equitable and accessible public transportation for all. If you’re looking for help achieving your sustainability goals, we’d love to hear from you. | [

To date a total of six wells have been worked over giving total incremental production of 5,235 bopd. All the wells worked over have a low water cut and low gas to oil ratio. The well work-over program will continue and it is planned that a further three wells will be worked over and re-completed this year using the hydraulic work-over unit.
Hussain M. Sultan, Chairman of Dragon commented:
'We are delighted with the continued success of our well work-over program which is significantly increasing production at a time of high oil prices.
Due to this success we will continue with our 2004 well work-over program and we will assess further wells to be worked over in 2005.'

No matter how health is measured, people tend to view it as something that some individuals have and others don’t. In a recent ABC report, Japan was reported to have ranked No. 1 in healthy life expectancy among 187 nations for the second time in two decades, and The Christian Science Monitor reported that the traditionally high suicide rate in Japan was lower last year than it had been in the prior 15 years.
In the area of mental health, Japan has been slow to realize how best it could turn around the tragic suicide rate when one faces personal and societal failure, financial failure being the No. 1 cause of suicide.
In the last several years, an individual and collective protest against helplessness turned this trend around. Those who have seen close friends and loved ones take their lives have felt moved to form grass-roots organizations to detect and prevent suicide.
A group of barbers and hairdressers, for example, are now trained to identify people in their salons who might be at risk. This was not initiated by a government program but by an individual who acted upon his inner voice – an instinct or calling.
In Japan, we are seeing more grass-roots movements related to mental-health issues after seeing so many lives lost because of the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. It is a shift in consciousness that makes these changes possible.
The need to live in good health is obvious, but if we dig deeper, we see that people are realizing that healthy living includes loving our neighbors and not living, as the Bible says, “by bread alone.” The entire statement from Deuteronomy, quoted centuries later by Jesus, is “[M]an does not live by bread alone, but... by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord” (Deuteronomy 8:3, Revised Standard Version). I’ve observed that the disaster made many people realize that we indeed don’t live by bread alone – or high tech alone – but live by a higher pursuit of happiness through loving our neighbors.
It’s not surprising, then, that many senior citizens in Japan today, those who witnessed the devastation left by World War II – one of the greatest man-made disasters in Japanese history – are expected to have a healthy life expectancy. Many people of this generation have long been aware of the need to love their neighbors and have realized that happiness and satisfaction cannot be found in material or territorial gain.
So what can be done right now, during this period of Japan’s great need to revitalize its economy and to find confidence internally and globally? Japan could, in a sense, “export” health. The two survey results mentioned above give me hope that Japan could share with the world what we are doing right in regard to loving our neighbor, and keep vigilant mental guard not to allow materialism to run the show. Our spiritual intuition or instinct is to help one another survive, eventually leading to more harmonious living, including even the elimination of war.
I’m grateful that it’s becoming more apparent that health is not found simply in many components working together harmoniously but rather in an innate spiritual intelligence that gives less power to chemicals and materialistic theories and more power to understanding and living one’s spiritual nature.
So let’s go back to the first question, Is good health the natural state of each of us?
The answer is yes, when we see that health is not the means just to live long but the means to enrich our lives by bringing more peace and harmony into our daily living. In other words, health may be pursued not sporadically but consistently and constantly, more spiritually.
As a result, we may decide not to live “by bread alone”; and by loving our neighbors as ourselves, we may finally find more permanent health individually and, as a result, socially and nationally.
It’s time to revisit the instruction that the master “life coach” and healer Christ Jesus gave to humanity centuries ago: “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’... But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:31-33, New King James Version). We can see this instruction as health-giving and peace-giving to ourselves and others. And in the near future, universal health care may focus more on our spiritual well-being than on blood pressure or symptoms of diseases. And “all these things added” to us will include more consistent health and happiness. | [

The unnamed fire sword was a fire sword sought by Lord Hater before "The Prisoner" and also the only thing that was not destroyed by Wander during his flashback.
In the flashback, Hater was holding the sword while an aura of fire was formed in him. He said "I have the power-" right before Wander threw some water at him and the sword.
Despite not having been destroyed, Hater probably threw it away since It's power must have come from the fire, which was doused by Wander who, as already stated, threw some water at the sword and Hater.
The sword was originally pure white while held by Hater. It's appearence was fully shown after it was doused with water: The sword has a dark grey bat-like hilt with a purple orb at the pommel and a silver blade with a purple orb. | [

"YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR POWER"
You cannot let your light shine if you are afraid of, or avoiding your darkness,
if you keep carrying the old with you... that which does not serve you anymore...
BUT HOW do we do it?
HOW do we free ourselves from those very old wounds, FOR REAL?
These are some of the most common questions I get from clients when we talk about healing and self-love.
HOW do I love myself?
HOW do I let go of this emotional weight?
HOW do I stop reacting (or responding) and behaving in ways that are unhealthy/destructive/harmful to myself and those I love?
HOW do I stop having these negative thoughts?
HOW do I heal these feelings/emotions that I do not want to have anymore?
HOW do I stop these behavioral patterns?
In this Weekend Retreat, I am sharing the answer to these questions and the way you can do it for yourself.
My intention has always been to help people to be independent in their healing or growth...
In time I realized that I love teaching my clients HOW to do these things for themselves because we need to know ourselves in order to help ourselves heal and create a life that is TRUE to us.
Because we heal and change the world by first healing and changing ourselves, and if you become conscious and learn HOW to do this for yourself, then we will have a direct effect in the Collective.
It starts IN YOU, and this is why I feel so happy and passionate about sharing the things that You need to do for YOURSELF and become independent, listen to your heart and soul instead of external & confusing distractions.
This is real freedom. Freedom also starts in You.
Knowing yourself is the foundation of a Happy & Healthy life. It's the first step to live a healthy and happy life...
and I believe that each one of us has the BIRTH RIGHT TO LIVE A HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE,
BUT it is UP TO EACH ONE OF US TO DECIDE & COMMIT WITH YOURSELF.
TO MAKE THE CHOICE AND MAKE IT A PRIORITY.
The quality of your life, the quality of the relationship you have with yourself, has a DIRECT EFFECT and impact on ALL your relationships, your work, your children, your family, your health.......
This is an intensive and experiential retreat where we will practice what we are learning with live examples for you to apply it to yourself.
This weekend retreat is for you to start learning to trust yourself and your own intuition for your own self love and self healing journey... to listen to your own Inner Wisdom.
You will get self-help resources that you can apply for the rest of your life...
SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES:
Reconnecting with your Body Exercises
Qigong & Yoga Exercises - All Levels -
Self-care Practices to create healthy Daily habits
Time in Nature
**I want to keep the group small to give better and more attention to each participant if it is necessary...**
SOME OF THE TOPICS WE WILL COVER:
Harmonizing Male & Female Energies
Self-Love, Self-Value, Self-Security, Self-Power
Emotional Health / Education (guilt, anger, sadness, shame...)
Mental Strength (focus & mindfulness)
Self-parenting / Relationship with your inner-child
Insecurities (with money, relationships, work, body image...etc...)
**For those who joined the last free masterclass!:
Remember that You have your discounted ticket for this retreat!! Just book your free call as well to get details!!
Now, why do I love this class?
I love this class because it keeps me healthy, mainly mentally.
It helps me to let go of any stress that might be hanging in my body or in my subconscious mind.
It reinforces our state of PRESENCE.
It cultivates my life force energy, thus I feel Alive.
It maintains my internal organs healthy, my joints and ligaments and it strengthens my muscles and my mind.
It moves my energy thus it helps me release any energetic block, allowing more fluidity and easy movement in my daily life.
What I love the most is that it is cumulative, meaning you have the choice to allow yourself and the benefits to Grow,
and get better the more you do these exercises.
You get more focus, more energy, more flexibility, more awareness, more presence, more Health.
You are constantly gaining a deeper connection with your Inner Self / your True Self.

Decline and revival in the Church of England
British media regularly report the latest surveys of religious faith and activity in that country, and rare is the news that is not deeply depressing. So rapid has been the process of secularization that it hardly seems far-fetched to imagine a near future in which Christian faith in the country would be confined to recent immigrants.
Particularly hard hit is the Church of England, which in practice attracts only a tiny proportion of the national population on any kind of regular basis. Yet even among what seem to be the battered ruins of Anglican loyalty are surprising signs of life and even vigor. (I will focus here on England, as conditions in other parts of the British Isles differ in many ways.)
The Church of England has long been divided between high and low church factions, between Anglo-Catholic ritualists and evangelicals. During the 1960s, a new force appeared on the scene in the form of a charismatic revival. Over the following decades, that charismatic impulse rose and fell in influence, but it received new infusions of support from the global church repeatedly. At different times, those overseas influences derived from transatlantic revivals, both in the US and in Latin America, but also from new immigrant populations from Africa and the Caribbean. These new influences reshaped many urban parishes, some of which became what an American would easily recognize as evangelical-charismatic megachurches.
The best known of these is the London parish of Holy Trinity Brompton, which attracts over 3,000 to its Sunday services. The life of Holy Trinity is based on intense small-group activities, organized through its 50 pastorates meeting in nonchurch locations. Holy Trinity is committed to church planting and has established seven offshoot congregations. The present archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has strong associations with the church and its clergy. HTB is famous for its innovative forms of outreach and evangelism, most spectacularly the Alpha course, which has reached tens of millions worldwide.
But HTB is by no means the only example of its kind. One very influential Anglican figure in modern times has been David Pytches, who in 1959 undertook mission work among the native Mapuche people of Chile and later became Anglican bishop of Chile, Bolivia, and Peru. Not for the first time in history, missionaries returned home with far more than they had originally taken with them.
At the end of the 1960s, Pytches and his wife, Mary, experienced the charismatic revival then sweeping Latin America, and they were determined to share this in England. In 1977, Pytches moved to St. Andrew’s Church in Chorleywood, which became a charismatic center that claimed many healings and blessings. That movement grew after 1981, when Pytches invited an American guest, John Wimber, the founder of the Vineyard churches. Wimber, incidentally, was also a formative influence on Justin Welby.
Out of those early initiatives grew a series of movements and networks that are today among of the best known centers of Anglican activism. In 1989, Pytches sponsored a Christian conference titled New Wine, which has since become the heart of a mainly Anglican network that involves several hundred clergy and church leaders. The connection between the wine metaphor and Wimber’s own Vineyard is not coincidental, although Pytches and his allies made the decision to remain mainly within established structures.
So successful was New Wine that it developed a number of spinoffs, including Soul Survivor, which is targeted at teenagers and young adults. Each year, perhaps 70,000 have attended one or more of the sequence of summer festivals organized by the various networks. Sadly, this year’s Soul Survivor festival looks like it will be the last.
However important HTB and New Wine are in their own right, they are only the most visible faces of a larger movement within the church. Among the various emerging institutions, one creative example is London’s St. Mellitus theological college, where students combine highly liturgical Anglo-Catholic services with evangelical-charismatic devotion and praise music. Over the past decade, the church’s hierarchy has enthusiastically encouraged experiments in ministry, officially termed Fresh Expressions.
When future historians write the history of the Church of England, they will identify the past quarter century as a time of real excitement and innovation, when new global ideas were imported and developed local roots. New vineyards have indeed flourished.
Yet not even all this energy has been able to prevent or slow that powerful underlying trend of religious decline. Conservative and evangelical Christians have found themselves running unsuccessfully against the overwhelmingly liberal currents within the larger society, especially in matters of sexuality and gender. Hopes for a wide-ranging religious revival seem futile. Charismatic Anglicanism will not disappear, but it is most likely to find a future as part of a broad coalition of immigrant churches, as the children of empire reclaim the old homeland.

- Cnoidal wave
In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear and exact periodic wave solution of the Korteweg–de Vries equation. These solutions are in terms of the Jacobi elliptic function cn, which is why they are coined cnoidal waves. They are used to describe surface gravity waves of fairly long wavelength, as compared to the water depth.
The cnoidal wave solutions were derived by Korteweg and de Vries, in their 1895 paper in which they also propose their dispersive long-wave equation, now known as the Korteweg–de Vries equation. In the limit of infinite wavelength, the cnoidal wave becomes a solitary wave.
The Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation has improved short-wavelength behaviour, as compared to the Korteweg–de Vries equation, and is another uni-directional wave equation with cnoidal wave solutions. Further, since the Korteweg–de Vries equation is an approximation to the Boussinesq equations for the case of one-way wave propagation, cnoidal waves are approximate solutions to the Boussinesq equations.

Korteweg–de Vries, and Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equations
The Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV equation) can be used to describe the uni-directional propagation of weakly nonlinear and long waves—where long wave means: having long wavelengths as compared with the mean water depth—of surface gravity waves on a fluid layer. The KdV equation is a dispersive wave equation, including both frequency dispersion and amplitude dispersion effects. In its classical use, the KdV equation is applicable for wavelengths λ in excess of about five times the average water depth h, so for λ > 5 h; and for the period τ greater than with g the strength of the gravitational acceleration. To envisage the position of the KdV equation within the scope of classical wave approximations, it distinguishes itself in the following ways:
- Korteweg–de Vries equation — describes the forward propagation of weakly nonlinear and dispersive waves, for long waves with λ > 7 h.
- Shallow water equations — are also nonlinear and do have amplitude dispersion, but no frequency dispersion; they are valid for very long waves, λ > 20 h.
- Boussinesq equations — have the same range of validity as the KdV equation (in their classical form), but allow for wave propagation in arbitrary directions, so not only forward-propagating waves. The drawback is that the Boussinesq equations are often more difficult to solve than the KdV equation; and in many applications wave reflections are small and may be neglected.
- Airy wave theory — has full frequency dispersion, so valid for arbitrary depth and wavelength, but is a linear theory without amplitude dispersion, limited to low-amplitude waves.
- Stokes' wave theory — a perturbation-series approach to the description of weakly nonlinear and dispersive waves, especially successful in deeper water for relative short wavelengths, as compared to the water depth. However, for long waves the Boussinesq approach—as also applied in the KdV equation—is often preferred. This is because in shallow water the Stokes' perturbation series needs many terms before convergence towards the solution, due to the peaked crests and long flat troughs of the nonlinear waves. While the KdV or Boussinesq models give good approximations for these long nonlinear waves.
The KdV equation can be derived from the Boussinesq equations, but additional assumptions are needed to be able to split-off of the forward wave propagation. For practical applications, the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation (BBM equation) is preferable over the KdV equation, a forward-propagating model similar to KdV but with much better frequency-dispersion behaviour at shorter wavelengths. Further improvements in short-wave performance can be obtained by starting to derive a one-way wave equation from a modern improved Boussinesq model, valid for even shorter wavelengths.
The cnoidal wave solutions of the KdV equation were presented by Korteweg and de Vries in their 1895 paper, which article is based on the PhD thesis by de Vries in 1894. Solitary wave solutions for nonlinear and dispersive long waves had been found earlier by Boussinesq in 1872, and Rayleigh in 1876. The search for these solutions was triggered by the observations of this solitary wave (or "wave of translation") by Russell, both in nature and laboratory experiments. Cnoidal wave solutions of the KdV equation are stable | [

It was a spur of the moment decision to make a trip to Luang Prabang (seems like there has been lots of last minute travel plans in 2016). This ancient capital city in north central Laos has always been on my list of places to visit; and when I heard that there was a new route added on AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur to Luang Prabang, I decided that it was time to go. Another reason I wanted to make the journey was to complete my Southeast Asia travel list — Laos was the final country I needed to visit. And now my list is complete!
Luang Prabang is a charming city that lies at the point where two rivers meet — the Mekong River, and the Nam Khan. This UNESCO World Heritage city was once the capital of Laos, and part of Indochine’s French colony. Though somewhat touristy nowadays, much of the past is still retained in its beautiful royal palace, gilded and mosaic-decorated wats; as well as streets lined with a mixture of traditional wooden Lao houses and French villas.
There’s much to do in Luang Prabang other than delving into its historic and religious past. So from river cruises and bicycle rides to gorgeous waterfalls and dark caves; here’s sharing my list of fun things to do when you’re visiting.
1) Swim in the Kuang Si Waterfalls
There are plenty of tours that take tourists to the Kuang Si Falls — but if you want to beat the crowds, get your own ride. I shared a van with a couple of travelers from my guesthouse, and only paid LAK40k ~US$5 for the return trip. The journey takes about an hour per way. It costs an additional LAK20k~US$2.5 to enter the waterfall area.
The stunning Kuang Si Falls was the highlight of my trip. I started my visit at the main waterfall that cascades down 60m. It leads to several levels of aquamarine pools downstream; and some are fit for swimming so I jumped into the cooling waters (that was the best part)! For the more adventurous, you can hike the slippery trails to see the pools at the top of the falls. There’s also a Bear Rescue Center in the area that houses several Asian Black Bears that were saved from poachers.
2) Cycle around the Old Town
There’s no better way to explore Luang Prabang than on a bicycle (it’s also a great way to find your bearings). That was the first thing I did when I arrived in the city — I rented a bicycle for LAK20k~US$2.5 (some hotels provide them for free) and went for my very own tour. Cycling around the Luang Prabang is relatively safe; just be extra careful and alert as the motorcycles can be a little reckless sometimes. Laos drives on the right side of the road.
Powering through the scorching hot weather, I managed to visit a good number of temples, interesting city sights, as well as local shophouses and unexplored back lanes on my bicycle.
3) Explore the Temples of Luang Prabang
There are a total of 34 UNESCO-protected wats in the small city of Luang Prabang. Most of these temples are living institutions and house thousands of Buddhist monks, learning and practicing the ancient religion. It is important to adhere to proper etiquette and dressing when visiting — never touch the monks. Entrance fees range from LAK10k-20k ~ US$1.5-2.5.
One of the most important temples in Luang Prabang is Wat Xieng Thong. Built in 1559, it is famous for its gilded wooden panels and the gorgeous tree-of-life glass mosaic. The oldest temple in the city, Wat Visounnarath was founded in 1512. I also dropped by Wat Manarom to see its simple hand-painted murals and old Buddha statues. There are also many beautiful temples along the main Sisavangvong and Sakkaline Roads, like Wat Mai and Wat Sene.
4) Watch the Sunset on Mount Phousi
Time your visit to Mount Phousi to witness the sunset at the top of the hill. There are two entrances that lead to the top (it costs LAK20k~US$2.5) — and it’s best to start from the Thanon Phousi entrance facing the Nam Khan (river). I started my climb an hour or so before sunset, and by using this entrance, I got to visit several interesting sites while maneuvering up the 355 steps — beautiful viewpoints, the Wat Tham Phou Si, a cave, various gilded Buddha statues, and even saw Buddha’ | [

|Winnipeg Transit Wayfinding|
It has been more than 10 years since the system has been put in place and more cities across Canada have come on board and have come up with innovative ways to improve the idea.
Winnipeg's unrolling of wayfinding was not without trouble. Costs were underestimated and publicity surrounding the plan was spotty. The city's website is not exactly informative about it and some the improvement zones have their own version of the mapping system.
To be sure, Winnipeg probably needs to re-examine the program, expand it and make it smart phone friendly. They could probably take a note from Winnipeg Transit who, despite controversy from the rapid transit debate, continue to try and meld technology and infrastructure. The Navigo app and signage with realtime updates is excellent and only getting better.
Special event signage is getting better.
|Routes After Bomber Game|
A coordinated approach should be made for every road, every walkway, every cycling path, every business zone and all recreation and park service.
Winnipeg Transit is doing a good job in moving ahead.
|Wayfinding at Investor's Group Field|
The debate aside on rapid transit...Winnipeg's bus service has increased ridership because it finds a way to work despite many misgivings about public transportation some people have, especially those in power.
There are map geeks all over the world and even in our own city. How often have we gone to a new place and had the delight of restaurant placemats featuring maps of the local area? It is a quick way to get to know an area. Quite honestly, we don't have enough maps in the city. It is not enough to have people use cell phones with a mapping system from Google.
The maps have to be extremely local. They have to be attractive, innovative and and informative.
While a bus may have the route number on it, it doesn't mean Winnipeggers who drive cars will know. It seems the city and province should sit down and come up with a signage policy that might incorporate the name and route number but getting the two governments to cooperate is always a daunting task.
|Winnipeg's orphaned Wayfinding|
The wayfinding has not been expanded at all. It is an orphaned program that once was championed by Gord Steeves but has no one speaking for it now.
|Various city wayfinding maps.|
We can and should do better. Now only is it fun but it is good business. It is entertaining and it is informative. It can be the way to distinguish your city and create excitement.
And for Pete's sake, we should do better on signage leading into the city of Winnipeg. | [

We are a factory and trading company of depilatory wax strip paper and other non-woven fabric products, professional in producing for more than 5 years.
Non-woven fabric is a kind of non-woven fabric, which is composed of oriented or random fibers, and has the appearance and certain properties of cloth. Although it is a cloth without being woven, it is called a non-woven fabric. Non-woven fabric is a new generation of environmentally friendly materials, which has the advantages of good strength, breathable and waterproof, environmental protection, flexibility, non-toxic and tasteless, and low price. The non-woven fabric is light in quality, environmentally friendly, and recyclable, and is recognized internationally as an environmentally friendly product that protects the earth's ecology.
Application of thin non-woven fabric production line for non-woven machinery and equipment
The technology of thin polyester spunbonded non-woven fabrics has been monopolized by foreign companies. As of 2000, there were only 6 production lines in the country. Foreign manufacturers have imposed technical blockades on my country. They only provide equipment but do not provide production technology software. Moreover, the price of imported equipment is high. The price of equipment for a production line is more than 100 million yuan, leading to domestic intentional investment. Investors in the project were discouraged. Beginning in 2000, the joint development of domestically produced polyester spunbond non-woven fabric production technology, the technology has now matured. According to reports, domestic polyester spunbond non-woven fabrics have surpassed the technical level of similar foreign products. The products are thinner and more breathable, and the production cost is only 1/4 of the price of similar foreign production lines, so it is more internationally competitive.
Application of non-woven equipment geotextile production line
Geosynthetics, this material that sounds very down-to-earth, does not have a gorgeous appearance, but is the technology that enables the smooth implementation of national infrastructure. The application of geosynthetics is the foundation of materials and cost savings for all geotechnical projects. With the rapid development of local people's livelihood and the awakening of environmental awareness on a global scale, the demand for geosynthetics has increased significantly, which has created good conditions for the development and application of environmentally friendly geosynthetics. Investment in domestic transportation, water conservancy and environmental engineering has particularly promoted the rapid development of geotechnical and construction textiles.
Despite the rapid development of domestic geosynthetics, there are still weaknesses and risks in the development of the industry, such as industry policy changes, weak standard system construction, and raw material price fluctuations. Among them, the most important thing to pay attention to is the problem of imperfect standards. For this reason, Professor Jin Xiangyu of Donghua University pointed out that since the establishment of my country's geosynthetic material standard system, although a more scientific, standardized and reasonable test standard system has been formed, there are still many shortcomings compared with advanced foreign standard systems. Coordinate the establishment of a complete national standard system, revise the system in a systematic and scientific way, standardize and standardize applicable conditions, refine the scope of application of test labels, and distinguish between different types of geosynthetic materials. There may be different operating procedures and experiments. As a result, all kinds of geosynthetics have clear standard references, so that geosynthetics can continue to develop.
The fiber types and functions of non-woven fabrics enable it to be used in various industries, such as aerospace, defense, automobiles, energy, industry, construction, and medical equipment. Typical applications include: delivering high-quality, multi-functional surface finishes for composite materials, passive fire protection, and high-temperature insulation, as well as providing solutions for low-temperature storage and power generation. | [

Keyboardist David Benoit will conduct a June 7th performance of the Asia America Symphony Orchestra with special guest saxophonist Sadao Watanabe at the Aratani Japan America Theatre in Los Angeles. The program will include Beethoven's Symphony Number 6 in F, Opus 68 "Pastorale," and the world premiere Benoit's composition "Dolores Del Carmen" for Spanish guitar & Orchestra, with special guest guitarist Sir Angel Romero.
Benoit is thrilled to be debuting his latest orchestral work, which is based on the life of a dancer who in later years became a paraplegic after a tragic accident. He explained: "It's called Dolores Del Carmen. It's a piece inspired by an aunt Dolores that I had, a wonderful lady that danced with the Jose Greco dance troupe and performed at Carnegie Hall and toured around the world. I had never had a relative that was quite that exotic before. When I moved to Hollywood as a young man she lived in Hollywood and we got to be very close."
Benoit is the artistic director of the Asia America Symphony Orchestra.
The performance is being sponsored by audio company Pioneer, which has invited members of the deaf community to the performance to try out the company's Listening Through The Body technology on loan from Japan for this special event. The system combines a vibrating seat with an optional magnetic loop, headphones and/or hearing aid to enable the deaf and hard of hearing to experience musical performances.
Benoit has just released his latest studio CD, Heroes, featuring his jazzy version of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature."

The sweeping expanse of grassed area near the corner of Hume and Margaret Streets makes an ideal venue for events, including monthly markets on Sunday, the Carnival of Flowers parade end and side-show alley in September and the Gospel Music Festival at Easter. The Park covering 26.3 hectares, was planned and developed by Walter Hill, a Government Botanist and superintendent of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens.
The many trees which were imported from Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world, today stand as grand old trees lining shaded avenues. Carl Hartmann, a botanist from Germany, and George Searle, a local landscape gardener, also made big contributions to creating this magnificent oasis close to the heart of the city. In 1875 young trees were planted out along broad avenues throughout the park.

Summary: The graphics are fun for kids, and the game will hold little ones interest for a little while... If purchased used for a good price it's worth it to play a few times! We were bored after that tho.
Summary: I was looking for something fun fro my son to play because he loves race cars and monster trucks. It had all that but it DID NOT come with a wheel as adertised. Just glad I didn't pay full price othrewise I would be very upset.
Summary: As the title suggests, I found this game to be very sensitive. After calibrating the Wii remote, it still seemed to have the cars jump at the slightest movement. Also, not a game for those under 10-years-old due to the challenge. Nice graphics though.
Summary: I bought it admittadely for a wheel to play with Mario Kart, but the game seems alright for 20 bucks. However, I'm having problem using the Wiimote with the wheel. On the official Nintendo wheel, there's a cutout for the sensor, but this wheel doesn't have a cut out and the sensor goes 'off' as soon as the wiimote gets inserted.
Conclusion: this game is a good 1 but the game gets a bit borin after a while but the 3 mini games wot r 2 player only r realy good especially the football 1 but if u cant reli get used to the sterin just sit down and play it for 30 mins an ull be fine still a descent buy if u like the chaos of monster trucks on a track! still a descent buy if u like drivin games!
Conclusion: It is quite a fun game and sliding around the track was a hoot to begin with. You get a steering wheel that you slide your remote into (which i have also used on other racing games) and you do make some funny faces using it :o) If you jolt the steering wheel the truck goes into Nitro mode and you shoot up the track.
Excerpt: "I would like to start off by saying that this is by no means a horrible game, neither is it a good game, its an average game. The graphics in this game are poor and the choice of cars is also bad even after you've unlocked them all. Career mode is quite addictive however and the actual game play and controls aren't bad at all, the tracks can get very tiring after you've played the game for more than about 1 hour though. The thrills and spills action... | [

The climate change vulnerability of a particular region depends on the interaction of a very wide range of factors. Geographic specificity can influence some of those factors, and the GEOSPECS case studies show that geographic specificity makes many areas more vulnerable to climate change impacts overall. This has been confirmed by research, much of which was recently compiled in the ESPON CLIMATE project (ESPON & IRPUD, 2011). This concluded that the overall hotspots of physical impacts are almost all located on or close to coasts, especially at river mouths. The assessment of the combined economic impacts of climate change shows that the south is more vulnerable, since large parts of Southern Europe are dependent on (summer) tourism, but also agriculture, which are projected to be negatively impacted due to temperature increase and precipitation decrease. Given that tourism plays a particular role in many island and coastal territories in Southern Europe (as also confirmed by the GEOSPECS case studies), they will be particularly hard hit. The Alps as a premier tourism region are also identified as a hotspot, which mainly due to projected decreases in snow cover. Regarding the aggregated potential impacts of climate change, the following regions emerge as hotspots: the South of Europe, i.e. the large agglomerations and summer tourist resorts along the coast; mountains; but also the densely populated Dutch/Belgian coastline.
The concentration of physical structures and economic activities along parts of the European coastline accounts for a high damage potential, as the coasts face risks from sea level rise, storms, erosion and inundations. The intensely urbanised Belgian coast is a prime example of a region at risk.
For the ORs, the main impacts are heat-related - decreasing water availability and increasing water stress - as well as increasing hazard potentials related to extreme climate events (tropical cyclones, inundation, heavy rainfalls, floods, etc). The Canaries are an example of a region that already faces difficulties in accessing sufficient freshwater supplies. In addition, much of the settlement and economic activity is concentrated in the coastal zones. As the ORs are generally less developed than mainland Europe, their adaptive capacity is accordingly lower.
For mountain areas, climate change will impact on the annual days of snow cover - for all of the GEOSPECS case studies of mountain areas, a decrease of up to 30 days and more is predicted. This, in combination with increased rainfall and more extreme weather events (and glacier ablation in higher areas), will increase risks from natural hazards, and also affect water supply downstream. Mountain areas relying on winter tourism will be negatively affected in economic terms. For every?C increase in temperature, the snow line will, on average, rise by about 150 m in elevation. In the Tatra and West Stara Planina case studies, for instance, major investments in ski infrastructures are planned, something that does not appear sustainable in the face of climate change.
A traditionally strong role of natural resources and the primary sector in regional economies is a common characteristic of many SPAs. Since agriculture and forestry are in general very climate-dependent sectors, this makes such territories, in principle, more climate-sensitive than regions with a more diversified economic structure.
Islands will be mainly affected by sea level rise, storms and inundations. In the case of southern islands (for instance Sicily), global warming may negatively impact the economically important tourism sector, when temperatures become uncomfortable in the peak summer months. In addition, Sicily already faces difficulty in accessing sufficient freshwater, a challenge that will increase with climate change.
Border areas do not in general face specific climate change impacts, but their adaptive capacity may be reduced in cases where cross-border cooperation is still weak.
As many GEOSPECS categories are associated with high levels of biodiversity (particularly ORs, mountains, islands and coasts), these - often unique - ecosystems are at particular risk of being lost altogether, as species cannot adapt to climate change fast enough.
These findings are just some samples from the extensive quantitative analysis that was undertaken for GEOSPECS. The entire analysis can be found in the Draft Final Scientific Report, downloadable on the ESPON website. | [

National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian, Washington, D.C.
The Smithsonian has its own Castle, but the institution's diamonds aren't there—instead, they sit across the Mall in the Natural History Museum. The prize of the exhibit is, of course, the Hope Diamond, the 45.52-carat dark blue stone that the gem's last owner, Harry Winston, donated to the museum in 1958 with the hope of starting a national collection. Although it is nicknamed the "Diamond of Disaster," most of the previous owners of the "cursed" gem did not meet an untimely death.
However, the same cannot be said for the owner of another pair of famous gems at the museum: Marie-Antoinette's earrings comprise two large diamonds weighing in at 14 and 20 carats, along with several other smaller stones. Another Frenchwoman—Marie-Louise, the second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte—once wore an elaborate diamond necklace now on display. It consists of 172 white diamonds weighing a total of 263 carats.
The museum also owns several colored diamonds, including one of the largest diamonds to remain uncut—the 1.5-inch-tall, yellow Oppenheimer Diamond. The DeYoung Red Diamond, though only 5.03 carats, is the largest of that color and had once been mistaken for a garnet. And the 67.89-carat champagne-colored Victoria-Transvaal diamond, which is set into a necklace with more than 100 smaller stones, was worn in the 1952 movie, Tarzan's Savage Fury.
Armoury Chamber, Kremlin, Moscow, Russia
According to one tale, the Orlov diamond was once set as the eye of an idol at a shrine to the Hindu god Vishnu in southern India, but was stolen by a French deserter. Some have theorized that the Orlov may be the Great Mogul diamond from India, stolen by the Persian invader Nadir Shah in 1739.
Whatever its origin, the Orlov is named for Count Grigori Orlov, who bought the diamond in 1775 in Amsterdam and then gave it to Catherine the Great of Russia, his former lover, in an attempt to win back his position as her favorite. He never did, but the empress had his gift placed in the top of the Imperial Sceptre, where it remains today.
The scepter and other jewels—including the Shah, one of the few historic diamonds with an engraved inscription—can be found in the Russian Diamond Fund, on display in the Armoury Chamber in Moscow's Kremlin. The museum building serves as a treasure house for the state, also displaying gold and silverware, weapons, textiles and royal carriages. Elsewhere in the complex, visitors can tour cathedrals and the Patriarch's Palace.
Treasury, Topkapi Palace Museum, Istanbul, Turkey
After the city of Constantinople fell to the Ottomans in 1453, its conqueror, Sultan Mehmed II, renamed the city "Istanbul" and later built the majestic Topkapi Palace. Growing to cover 173 acres, the palace served as the official residence of the Ottoman sultans and a site for government administration for 380 years before it was turned into a museum in the early 20th century. | [

Sports betting in the US state of Colorado is thriving, and the latest evidence came with the release of figures covering September this year, which revealed an as-expected healthy level of revenue.
According to the report from the Colorado Division of Gaming, more than $200 million had been wagered during the month of September, showing that sports betting fans in the state not only took quickly to the ability to bet on sport using their mobile devices but also showed a surprisingly diverse interest in a range of sports, including international table tennis.
The figures show that an incredible 98% of all bets through legal sportsbooks in the state came from mobile platforms. Only $3.7 million of that total was wagered at the state’s three retail venues, which are located in casinos based in relatively remote towns.
The figures show that $207 million was wagered during the month of September, representing an impressive 61% rise on that total recorded for August, showing that Colorado is playing its role in a substantial national surge in sports betting during the month of September.
According to reports submitted across the US, there were new records for a monthly handle set in the states of Indiana, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey during the month of September. In addition, it is expected that there could be as much as $1 billion recorded in wagers from the states of Illinois and Nevada, adding up to a huge $2.5 billion handle for the US sports betting market as a whole.
The state of Colorado doesn’t break down its returns by individual operators, but looking across the market as a whole, it seems likely that promotions and free bets played a significant role for the 11 mobile sports betting operators who have been competing in the state since the sports betting market was launched in May this year.
Another interesting factor was the strong performance by sports bettors in Colorado during the month, with operators holding onto only 2% of sports wagers placed during the month, for a total of $4.1 million, which will generate $70,000 in tax revenue for the state.
More surprising still was the fact that baseball eclipsed football during the month. The final month of the MLB regular season produced over $47 million through baseball bets, with a loss to the operators of $3 million. The NFL was not far behind, generating $38.6 million in bets, although the betting companies fared slightly better here, with a profit of just under $2 million for the month.
The other big sports betting story was the continuing success of international table tennis, which established itself as a popular betting medium among the state’s sports bettors and bookmakers during the COVID-19 lockdown earlier this year when table tennis tournaments from Russia and elsewhere provided almost the only sporting action.
Table tennis has continued to perform well in Colorado, despite the resumption of regular professional sports in the state. In fact, wagers on the sport exceeded $5.3 million during September, which was a bigger figure than those recorded for NCAA football, golf, and soccer. The unlikely success of table tennis has also been seen in another western state, Oregon, where it continues to be among the top five sports wagered on by sports bettors.
