RUF3 Series - Check Valves
The RUF Series Check Valve is used in places where a return flow of product in pipelines must be avoided. This check valve is utilized in brewery, dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical processing.
- Reduced maintenance cost due to robust and reliable bearing. The valve has minimal parts.
- Flexible design - the valve can be installed horizontally or vertically.
- Easy to maintain - the intermediate flange design means that the valve can easily be removed from the line.
- Profile seals with ID markings that eliminate gaps and facilitate ordering of spares.
- Minimum flow resistance/pressure drop
- Smooth flow due to ball-shaped valve body
- Minimum response pressure at 0.72 psi (0.05 bar)
- Full opening cross-section at 1.16 psi (0.08 bar)
- Designed for CIP cleaning
- Soft seat seal
- The RUF3 check valve is designed for direct welding into process pipelines
Non-return check valve working principle
A non-return valve is used in places where return flow of product in pipelines must be avoided.
The valve opens by pressure of the liquid against the spring-loaded valve disc. The closing process is initiated by the preloaded spring when the liquid flows in the flow direction stops.
Components of the RUF3 non-return check valve:
- Flange screw
- Flange seal
- Shaft bearing
- Housing seal
- Pressure spring
- Valve shaft
- Seat seal
- Valve body | [

The Vacation Rental Management Association (VRMA) announces the release of its 2019 Vacation Rental Industry Survey Report.
Produced and distributed in partnership with data intelligence company Transparent, the report—first of its kind in the industry—presents key survey data on marketing, distribution, technology and other vacation rental market trends at the state and national levels across North America.
“VRMA is extremely excited to release our Vacation Rental Industry Survey Report,” said Mike Copps, executive director of VRMA. “Much of the data contained in the report confirms anecdotal trends we have been hearing across the industry, while other data sheds light and clarity on areas such as revenue management strategy, distribution partner trends and the evolution of the urban property management segment versus traditional vacation destinations.”
Key findings in the report are tied to growth in all aspects of the industry, including growth in both revenue and expenses for property management companies. Year-over-year bookings are experiencing growth across the board, with an additional increase anticipated in direct bookings due to greater marketing spend and sophistication of distribution tactics. Technology utilization also is growing as more potential partners enter the space. Despite this growth, the report finds that two challenges persist across the industry: hiring and retaining qualified staff, and dealing with potentially harmful regulations.
“The data presented in this report will inform our advocacy and education efforts moving forward, which are the pillars of our non-profit trade association,” said Copps. “We are pleased with—and appreciative of—the number of property managers who took the time to complete this survey, and we will continue to grow the number of respondents with each annual report.”

Passengers will get free rides for two months on the MRT’s new five stations from Wat Mung Korn to Tha Phra starting July 29.
Pakapong Sirikantaramas, the Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) of Thailand governor, said on Thursday last week that Blue Line will provide a free service for passengers riding the train at five stations from Wat Mung Korn to Tha Phra during the two-month test run starting July 29, Bangkok Post reported.
Other new stations on the extension are Sanam Chai, Sam Yot and Isra Phab.
But if they take the train to or from Hua Lamphong, the fare is 16 baht a ride, he added.
MRTA will use a new fleet of trains for the line from Hua Lamphong to Tha Phra and it expects 30,000 passengers on the first day of the test run.
The government on Thursday also affirmed its intention to implement transport policies promised to voters by key coalition parties, including a policy to charge electric train passengers a flat fare of 15 baht per ride, the report added. | [

A system approach which is utilized for problem solving and analysis
in complex and messy situations is Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) (Maqsood, Finegan, & Walker, 2001). It is especially
suitable to complex management system and gets to evaluate as many distinctive
choices as possible. The idea of SSM was developed by Peter Checkland who is
the professor of systems at University of Lancaster (Checkland, 2000). SSM uses the concept of an “human
activity system” which means a group of people with a common purpose. SSM is
widely described as a seven-stage process which is shown in Figure 1. In this seven-stage process, the five stages
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7) are analysed in the real world and the remaining two stages (3,
4) are analysed using the systems thinking about the real world.
Stage 1 The problem situation in its unstructured form.
This stage is mainly concerned with identifying role players like who
are the client (the person who starts the analysis of the problem), who are the
problem solvers (the person who is trying to progress the problem), who are the
problem owners (person who is affected by the problem), should determine the
political and social aspects (relationships) (Hudson, 2013). Collecting the mix
of soft and hard data about the problem through formal and informal interviews
or quantitative data. Interview role holders in order to know the how does the structure
and process work now (Dale, Alan, Bin, & David,
Stage 2 The problem situation expressed as a rich picture
When essential data have been collected to
identify the key facts, stakeholders and issues then the problem situation is
expressed by means of a carton style diagram which is called “Rich Picture” (Yeoman, McMahon-Beattie, & Wheatley, 2016). A picture is worth a
1000 words as more data can be communicated through any type of diagram (Dale, Alan, Bin, & David, 1997). There are no particular
rules for drawing the rich picture but it should include the primary tasks, issues,
hard facts and soft data (like hunches and attitudes).
Stage 3 Root
definitions of relevant, purposeful activity systems
A critical stage of SSM is root definition as it is
verbal representation of the system which we are trying to model when compared
to the real-world problem bringing about the change (Burge, 2015).
As the following stage that is conceptual model is built using the root definition,
so it should be worded carefully. Root definitions of relevant explains the
purposeful activity of human activity system. For the analysis of root definition,
the CATWOE criteria is mainly used which mainly checks whether the root
definitions are well formed or not (Patel, 1995). The acronym of
C – Customers which means a person who stands within or outside the
system will be beneficiaries or victims of the effects of the system
A – Actors which means the person who performs the activity if the
system were made real.
T – Transformation which means showing the conversion of input (what
is changed) to output (to what)
W – Weltanschaunng is a Greek word which means ‘World view’. View of
the system which makes its meaningful.
O – Owner means a person who has the power or control to stop the
E – Environmental features means the constraints that are significant
to the system and which can’t be changed.
Conceptual models of the systems named in the root definition
By drawing up conceptual models this stage explains on
root definitions. Developing a conceptual model includes two steps (Susan, 1994). One step is organising
all activities that are needed to accomplish the root definitions (every
activity should start with a verb) (Hudson, 2013). Second step is graphically
connecting the activities together with monitor and feedback activities.
Comparison of models with the real world
Comparing the results from stage 4 (Conceptual models of the systems
named in the root definition) and stage 2 (The problem situation expressed as a
rich picture) and see whether they are similar or different (Hudson, 2013).
Identification of the feasible, desirable changes
with a list of changes after stage 5 is useless as few changes could exacerbate
the situation and some changes may be unsatisfactory to people in the real
world. Therefore, each change should be examined and analysed in order to confirm
it is both systemically desirable (produce improvement) and culturally feasible
(in line with beliefs, opinions and customs of stakeholders) (Checkland & Poulter, 2010). The intention of
this stage is to gain some input from the organisational stakeholders (customers
of the organization, managers, shareholders), where people who will be engaged
with implementing changes and the people who will | [

In a large, deep skillet (with a cover available for later), heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
When oil is hot, add chicken, and sprinkle with pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and cook and brown for 4 minutes on each side.
Push chicken to the side, reduce heat to medium, and add peppers and onions. Sprinkle peppers and onions with 1/4 teaspoon salt, oregano, and thyme. Cook for another 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring, about 1 minute.
Remove chicken from pan and place on a plate (this will prevent the couscous from getting stuck on top of the chicken when you pour it in.)
Add couscous, capers, and broth. Stir to combine and increase heat to medium-high. Try to ensure that no couscous is stuck to the edges of the pan, and that it is submerged in chicken broth.
Bring to boil, nestle chicken into couscous mixture, and cover.
Reduce heat to medium (should be a low boil) and cook for 8-10 minutes or until couscous is tender and chicken is cooked through (should read 165ºF on an instant read thermometer).
Pour lemon juice over chicken and couscous.
Serve garnished with tomatoes, feta, pine nuts, and parsley. | [

My mind doesn’t work like anyone else’s. Usually I consider that a good thing, but these days, it’s causing me a marketing headache. Long ago and far away, the publishing industry was a different place. Science fiction writers weren’t allowed to write romance and romance writers weren’t allowed to write science fiction. We were told to choose.
Those of us too stubborn to choose had to hide our identities. Even though my real name is Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and people in science fiction know me as a Hugo-award winning, bestselling sf writer, the Powers That Be in romance decreed that no one who read sf would read romance. (Um, except, I guess, me.) So when I started writing romance, I picked the name Kristine Grayson for my funny paranormals. Then I chose Kristine Dexter for my romantic suspense (because back in the day, apparently, romantic suspense readers didn’t read paranormal romances. Except, of course, me).
And then, I wrote a short story called “Drinking Games,” under the Rusch name for an anthology, and I knew, I knew, that story was only the beginning of a great big space adventure romance series. Well, Grayson couldn’t write it, and Dexter has her feet firmly planted on the ground. Rusch is known for her award-winning (and scientific) sf. So who was left? Besides, um, me? Under a new alias.
I sold the novel, now called Assassins in Love, to Sourcebooks, and the novel came out to great acclaim. Publisher’s Weekly called it a “compelling, hot, and believable tale.” Believable—if outer space adventure involving hired killers who happen to be soul mates is believable.
Anyway, Assassins was part of a series, and the second book, A Spy To Die for has just come out. It’s getting great reviews as well. Publisher’s Weekly calls it “a hair-raising and enjoyable journey with engaging characters.” I had fun writing it, and I guess it shows.
But my aliases have come back to bite me. In order to figure out who my heroine, Skylight Jones, truly is, I had to write her back story. And I published that, as Rusch, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, in a story called “Skylight.”
That story will join three others written as Rusch about the Assassins characters. There’s the aforementioned “Drinking Games,” now available in an e-book, as well as two stories about Misha, the hero of Assassins. The first story, “Defect,” is really about his (rather nasty) mother. The second, “Killer Advice,” is about an adventure he had before he met Rikki, his true love.
Both “Defect” and “Killer Advice” are science fiction without the romance. As is “Skylight.” So when I contracted with WMG Publishing to release my entire backlist of novels and short stories, I mentioned this problem. Their solution? Put both names on the cover.
Honestly, if I had it to do all over again, I wouldn’t have chosen a pen name. I’d let readers figure it out. But publishing has changed over the last ten years. Heck, publishing has finally accepted that romance readers have very eclectic tastes. I’m not the only reader who likes paranormals and real science fiction and romantic suspense.
But my pen names date from the days when the only thing fantastic about romance was the fact that every historical romance couple actually bathed and had good teeth.
So I’m stuck with the pen names for good or for ill. And if you pick up Spy and want something similar, you’ll have to go to Assassins. But if you want to know more about Skye, you’ll need to read “Skylight.” Most of the short stories only have an electronic edition, but Killer Advice which is an sf/mystery (yes, I bend every genre I can think of) has a trade paper and an audio edition.
A friend of mine, lucky enough to come into publishing after the changes too place, has said that writers need to trust readers when it comes to picking books. Readers know what they like, he says, and if they’re not fond of a genre, they won’t pick it up, even if it has their favorite author’s name on it.
I agree. But I’m not going to abandon my aliases of long-standing. I’ve just decided to stop keeping secrets.
So here’s the truth of it. My mind doesn’t work like anyone else’s. I haven’t found a genre I can’ | [

In the wake of posting her racy Twitter photos, and rumors of mental illness, which this blogger discounts, Amanda Bynes has seen her Twitter following increase.
According to Twitter Grader, the hot star of such movies as Easy A and The Amanda Show, on Nickelodeon had 499,000 followers on May 2nd, but as of today May 4th, she’s at 977,600 followers.
This blogger does not believe they’re fake. The evidence that they’re real and engaged can be seen in my tweet:
@amandabynes Wow. 603 retweets and 301 favorites from 1 tweet in 4 minutes.

Owerri—THE Federal Government yesterday in Owerri, Imo State, called on stakeholders including organised labour to join hands in the fight against rising cases of child labour in Imo State, lamenting that its menace posed serious challenge in the state and entire nation.
Speaking through the State Labour Controller, Mrs Laurette Adogu, at the 25th Annual Industrial Relations Seminar of the National Union of Chemical, Footwear, Rubber, Leather and Non-Metalic Products Employees, NUCFRLANMPE, the government contended that the menace had a massive negative effect on the future of children in the state and nation at large.
According to Adogu who was represented by the Principal Labour Officer, Mr. Nwaeze Nnamdi, “I must not fail to mention the issue of the elimination of Child Labour in its worst forms in Imo State. This menace poses a serious challenge in the state and the entire nation. This therefore has a massive negative effect on the future of our children and our dear state in years to come. Let us therefore join hands with government to ensure total elimination of this menace in the society.”
She equally called for the implementation of decent work agenda for Nigerian workers to improve productivity and union and workers must embrace dialogue in resolving industrial relation issues and reducing incidences that could lead to unrest in work places.
The controller advised employers to show commitment to industrial safety and health in workplaces to eliminate occupational diseases and accidents.
In his remark, Mr Douglas Adiele, General Secretary of the union, urged the government to provide adequate raw materials to sustain jobs and reduce unemployment in the country.
According to Adiele, employers needed development of infrastructure such as the provision of adequate supply of electricity to function effectively.
Also, Mr Lucas Damulak, a former president of the union said the seminar would build efficiency into the workers and urged them to utilize positively the learning received from the training in their various offices.
Damulak said that the union survived on membership and needed to continue to improve its proficiency on the workers through regular trainings. | [

Karim El Alami and Cyril Colin met at UC Berkeley in California, whilst studying for their degrees in civil and environmental engineering. Their drive was to develop software to manage hybrid energy systems and reduce operators’ bills.
In this short case study we focus on a hybrid energy system using Victron Energy components and ePowerBooster software – a new cloud-based controller built by Elum Energy, the company Karim and Cyril founded after their university days.
It is often hard to define fixed genset start and stop rules that stay optimal throughout the year. For example, during the sunny season, charging your battery at night with a genset may lead to lost solar energy that could have been stored the following day.
This is the issue that ePowerBooster solves. Rather than using a fixed set of parameters, the solution continuously monitors the daily PV yield and load profile – then adapts the start/stop rules. This solution is surely of interest for any site where fuel costs are a consideration. The ePowerBooster especially helps in monitoring and optimising projects with large and/or multiple systems, where minimising operational costs are important.
Potential users can sign up to the free Victron VRM portal without installing any additional hardware and take advantage of a free 1-month trial of ePowerBooster. The opportunity then exists to save up to 15% on fuel costs.
About Elum Energy
Elum Energy’s headquarters are in Paris, France. They specialise in the development of control systems designed for hybrid and battery-based solar projects. Their microgrid monitoring and control solutions are considered reliable, efficient and highly compatible. They can be installed on projects ranging from 100kW to 20 MW. To date systems have been installed by leading renewable project developers in more than 10 countries.
Case study: Ziragula – Rural electrification microgrid – Tanzania
The ePowerBooster has been deployed since January 2019 on a site developed by PowerGen in Tanzania, where it enables the electrification of rural communities. PowerGen started using the ePowerBooster on their PV/Battery/Diesel hybrid system without making any changes to their pre-existing hardware configuration.
On this islanded hybrid site, eLum’s ePowerBooster algorithm optimises generator cycling schedules in order to maximise solar energy usage and reduce generator runtime & fuel consumption.
Compared to fuel consumption with native Victron systems, the addition of ePowerBooster reduced fuel costs by 8% during the first month. An example – on the day shown in the graph below, genset consumption was 7.5kWh compared to 18kWh. This saved around 4 litres of fuel on that particular day.
To learn more, see the ePowerBooster PDF Datasheet.
ePowerBooster and Victron Energy integration
The video below shows how Elum Energy’s ePowerBooster cloud-based controller connects with Victron Energy’s control and monitoring systems.
Anything that helps to reduce the use of diesel fuel and save money can’t be a bad thing. We are delighted Elum Energy have chosen Victron Energy system components and the VRM Portal to work in association with ePowerBooster.
For additional information about ePowerBooster, please email email@example.com
My thanks to Yoann Le Fol (Victron Energy Sales Manager for West and Central Africa, Madagascar, Comoros) for making me aware of this project.

With the election ever nearing, operatives and politicians are beating Ohio like a rented mule. From river to city there are dipshits with clip-boards talking a smooth line of sophistry from both parties.
Democracy, down where the kernels get small and greasy,(the margins) are where elections are won and lost.
Sadly, that IS the history of this unique slice of ruptured geography.
The word, “Ohio” is Iroquois for “Big River.” The iroquois peoples were part of a powerful conflation of First Nation tribes known as the nation of six. The others, the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and the Seneca, inhabited a wide swath of the Northeast from New York to Ohio and including the St. Lawrence seaway.
They primarily farmed, trapped fur and protected their nations which extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the middle of Ohio and north through Canada. In my research, I’d always thought of the Iroquois peoples as primarily Canadian. I was wrong–their home base seems to have been mostly New York State and along the Great Lakes.
Only the tribes of the Sioux were a bigger nation of indigenous peoples.
The Iroquois were tough. They fought the French over land, water and beavers. In fact, there were whole wars about beavers and their pelts in the 1600’s. Over the glacial march of a couple of centuries, any American Iroquois were mostly in Ohio.
Ohio was where you went when you lost the Indian wars of the American Northeast. That, or flee to Canada, who treated First Nation peoples a little better, but not much.
The Iroquois kinship extended through a great many Matrilineal tribes, meaning the women ran things.They were broken up into “clans”–Turtle, Bear, Elk, Eel Hawk. They are also known as the “Haudenosaunee,” which means “people of the long house.” Unlike a great many tribes, the Iroquois built their housing like long barracks (an actual house) rather than tipis. Their architecture was more evolved and soon copied by white settlers.The Quakers owe a debt to the Iroquois’ “long houses. As tribes go, they succeeded at farming, raising animals, fishing, fur-trapping, etc. In other words, the Iroquois were self-sustaining and doing fine when the French decided to “civilize” them by murdering them and trying to steal their land and resources, as well as convert them to Christianity.
To this end they sent a couple of earnest young missionaries–Jean deLalande and Isaac Jogues–to civilize the savages. The Bear clan didn’t know quite what to think of these two funny-talking, pasty-assed Jesus freaks who wore their shirts down to their shoes.
So they shanked them and ate their hearts. A message to the French (and the Huron tribes) that “When we need your advice, we’ll fucking beat it out of you.”
Ohio has a fascinating history. The more I read about it, the less, I realize, that I (or the rest of the Republic) know about it. In the 1800’s, Ohio natives were fond of reminding the rest of the country that what we had in this bloody, merciless, expanse of natural beauty was, in fact, a Republic. That as Americans, we owned ourselves and didn’t answer to any kings or queens anymore. It is a bitter, horrific irony that we would not cede these ideas about liberty to the Africans we kidnapped or the First Nation tribes who, rightly, were this great land’s caretakers before we stole it.
Americans who go to the polls in the next few weeks would do well to remember that those they will cast votes for are our employees, and we, the people, are but custodians of these fifty states, and that our haggard, beleaguered, beating heart can be found somewhere between Canton and Dayton where we, the people, clip the coupons and hope. | [

The torrefaction of red oak (Quercus rubra) was performed in a pilot rotary kiln reactor, and the apparent kinetic results were compared with the results of torrefaction performed in a bench-scale fluidized reactor. Mass loss, gross calorific analyses, ultimate analyses, and proximate analyses were applied to the final torrefied material. The experimental torrefaction temperatures were 250, 275, 300, and 325 °C, and the experimental total torrefaction times were 20, 35, 50, and 80 min. A significant variation of the energy content occurred in the range of temperature between 275 and 300 °C, with the energy yield changing from 97.5% to 83.6%, respectively. The molar ratios H:C:O for the torrefied red oak presented a behavior independent of the experimental equipment when the temperature ranged between 250 and 325 °C. For the torrefaction process of red oak in the pilot rotary kiln reactor, a first-order reaction and one-step kinetic model were fitted with a maximum error of about 7.5% at 325 °C. The observed reaction rate constant (k) for the rotary reactor was 0.072 min-1 at 300 °C, which was 71% lower than the reaction rate constant for torrefied red oak in a bench-scale fluidized reactor. Arrhenius analysis determined an activation energy of 20.4 kJ/mol and a frequency factor of 5.22 min-1. The results suggest significant external heat and mass-transfer resistances in the rotary system.

Woody biomass currently comprises up to 20% of the co-combustion material in coal power plants, accounting for 0.9% of total U.S. electric power generation (Levine 2011). Furthermore, 46% of all electricity generation comes from coal power plants, in which greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the most important environmental issue; the GHG from coal combustion for power generation accounted for 81% of emissions from electricity generation from fossil fuels (Cuellar 2012). The low level of utilization of biomass in power plants for electric generation is due to several limitations: their low energy density compared with fossil fuels, high grinding energy requirements, and variability in moisture content (Bergman et al. 2005; Bridgeman et al. 2010). These limitations decrease the efficiency and output of a power plant. Today, it is possible to improve all these disadvantages of biomass through the torrefaction process (Prins et al. 2006a; Deng et al. 2009; Zheng et al. | [

Emulsions and suspensions are commonly used in pharmaceutical, chemical and consumer products. The pharmaceutical industry, in particular, uses emulsions and suspensions to increase drug efficacy by controlling their particle size and size distribution. Among various available preparation methods, high-pressure homogenization is one of the widely employed processes in the field. This webinar discusses ways to develop a robust homogenization process for making pharmaceutical emulsions by evaluating droplet size distribution.

Paul Cascante Ureña (age 32) is currently the manager of all his family farms, which are located near the town of Palmichal and sum up a total of 14 hectares. Paul has a degree in agronomy, and at a young age, his vast knowledge shows not only by talking with him but also by seeing his pristine plantations. Paul is currently planting different varietals that will give him better yields and cup qualities.
“At Palmichal Micromill we have a state-of-the-art micro-mill that has been under constant improvement since it was first built in 2015. Our goal is to enhance the already very high quality of some of the top farms that we work with, through alternative processing methods. We are always experimenting to find the best process for each varietal and farm to maximize the complexity of each coffee. Our processes include honey, natural, and several anaerobic fermentation types.” | [

On Thursday, Republicans in the U.S. Senate finally revealed their version of the American Health Care Act. The GOP had spent weeks reworking the contentious legislation, dubbed Trumpcare, in secret, frustrating most of Congress and the American public. But what Senate Republicans have turned is nothing short of disastrous and this chart shows how the health care bill will hurt mothers and children.
First things first: The GOP is desperate to pass its bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. According to CNN, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky wants a vote on Trumpcare next week. That gives senators little time to review the 142-document the Senate GOP has just unveiled. So far, the Republican Party doesn't have the votes it needs to pass this legislation, CNN has reported, but that doesn't mean opponents should rest on their laurels.
Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to brass tacks. According to the New York Times, the Senate iteration of Trumpcare hacks away at Medicaid. As with the House version, the Senate bill phases out federal funding given to states as an incentive to expand Medicaid eligibility. The Times also reported that Trumpcare 3.0 would "put the entire Medicaid program on a budget, ending the open-ended entitlement that now exists."
The Senate version of AHCA will also do away with most, if not all, of the tax increases established by ACA, according to the New York Times. That means the United States' wealthiest people will get a broad tax cut that will be covered by — you guessed it — the billions of dollars cut from Medicaid. Medicaid, by the way, helps one in five Americans, most of whom are adults and children from low-income families and people with disabilities.
In numbers: 39 percent of all children, 76 percent of poor children, and 60 percent of children with disabilities are covered by Medicaid, the Times chart above shows. A staggering 49 percent — roughly half — of all births in the United States are covered by Medicaid. Cuts to the Medicaid program means millions of parents and children will lose access to life-saving health care, putting them at severe risk. According to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, restructuring and limiting Medicaid would hurt nearly 70 million people by forcing states to cut eligibility and benefits.
As Debra L. Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families, said in a statement,
The Senate bill, which mirrors the House version, would still strip health coverage from millions, drive up costs, cut critical protections, gut Medicaid, defund Planned Parenthood, expand harmful abortion coverage restrictions and ultimately endanger women’s health and economic security – in order to deliver tax cuts to the wealthy.... America’s women and families deserve much better.
Senate Republicans and even the media have dubbed this legislation a "moderate" version of what the House conjured up. Don't let that fool you. Trumpcare 3.0 is not more moderate version that what the House put on the table the second time around. Even though people with pre-existing conditions in the private market, adults and children with disabilities will be hurt by the cuts to Medicaid. How is that any better than before? | [

Welcome to Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 152
Through HCMUD 152’s website you can easily find links to the following services.
MUD 152 announces improvement projects for district infrastructure
Harris County MUD 152 is excited to release this list of projects that will strengthen the district’s infrastructure and help homeowners better track their water usage. Projects will be funded by the recent selling of $5,225,000 in Series 2022 bonds. The bonds will not cause an increase to current MUD 152 tax rates.
- Water Plant No. 1, which is located by Timbers Elementary, will see its Ground Storage Tank replaced.
- Each home will receive a new smart water meter, giving residents an up-to-date accurate reading of their water usage. Smart meters are also able to help identify the presence of a water leak which may not be visible to homeowners.
- Provides resources to support capital improvement projects with other local MUDs that operate the Atascocita Joint Operations wastewater (toilet flushing) treatment plant.
You can also view a map of the district with outlines which areas of Atascocita South and Atasca Woods will be included in each of the projects.

Voluntary Water Conservation
MUD 152 is joining MUDs across Texas in implementing a voluntary water conservation notice for the district. Given the current dry conditions across our area, it is important for homeowners to think about ways to reduce their water usage. Water conservation experts suggest among other approaches, reducing the time spent in the shower, washing only fully loaded washing machines, waiting until the dishwasher is fully loaded before turning it on, and watering your lawn on a more limited basis.
2021 Drinking Water Quality Report
Superior Public Water System Designation
You may have noticed new signs in the district highlighting us as a designated Superior Public Water System by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. This designation means that MUD 152 exceeds minimum standards in proper oversight, safe and clean water, necessary preparedness and management. To qualify for this designation, the district’s facilities and processes must meet standards outlined in the Texas Administrative Code.

One of my favorite memories of my grandmother is that she was an excellent gardener. She did not have much money, or space, living in New York City, but she always grew fresh herbs, gorgeous tomatoes, and other vegetables that she would cook with. She passed her love of gardening on to me and whenever I work in the soil, I think of her and the way she was able to transform tiny seeds into beautiful, edible works of art.
Gardening feeds the soul, and if you have never tried gardening, but have always wanted to, this might be the perfect year to start. If you are thinking that you missed your window on planting a vegetable garden this year, don’t worry! There are still a variety of vegetables that do well if they are planted in the hot summer months.
In the Pacific Northwest, you can plant lettuce, kale, spinach and arugula in July and expect them to be salad ready by late August.
You can also plant a few herbs like cilantro, dill, and parsley. For those fans of a good beet salad (or beet spread, see recipe below), you can also add some beet seeds to your garden in July as well.
A lush garden in the Summer is a delightful addition to your home and outdoor space. Growing your own herbs and vegetables is a perfectly sustainable way to live more organically. As you control the nutrients in the soil, and avoid pesticides in the garden, you are ensuring that your family can eat healthy and safely. We are firm believers that homegrown vegetables just taste better, especially if they are from your own hard work!
Organic Living is not only about growing fruits and vegetables, it is also about creating a chemical free environment. You can make changes to your cleaning supplies by replacing them with products that are phosphate and phthalate free. Try this simple all-purpose spray:
1 C. Water
½ C. White Vinegar
15 drops each of Lemon Essential Oil and Tea Tree Oil
Combine all ingredients in a glass spray bottle.
Also consider using organic beauty products and buying ethical clothing. This is a great time of year to make some lasting changes in your life. | [

Women's Lax Drops 9-8 Heartbreaker At No. 13 Dartmouth
March 6, 2008
HANOVER, N.H. - No. 13 Dartmouth used a three-goal late rally to come from behind for a 9-8 win over the UMass women's lacrosse team Wednesday afternoon at Memorial Field. The Minutewomen never trailed until Kathleen Wallace scored the game-winner with 5:00 left to play. UMass managed to gain possession with just over a minute remaining in the game, but after a called timeout, could not get a shot on goal for the equalizer. The Minutewomen will return to action against No. 9 Yale next Wednesday, March 12 in McGuirk Stadium.
Six different Minutewomen (1-4) figured into the scoring column led by Kaytlin McCormick and Stephanie Hopkins who each had two goals. Melynda Zwick led the team with three points on a goal and two assists. Julie Papaleo led the team defensively with two caused turnovers and two groundballs - including the key turnover that gave UMass possession with a minute remaining in the game.
Dartmouth (3-1) was led by Eliza Bennett and Katherine Chiusano who each scored three goals. Chiusano also added an assist for a game-high four points.
UMass jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first eight minutes of action, but the Big Green answered to tie the game with a pair of goals mid-way through the first half. Both teams added a pair of goals each to go into halftime knotted at 4-4.
In the second half, McCormick tallied her second goal of the game to put UMass on top 5-4 just under four minutes into play before Bennett returned the favor to tie the game four minutes later.
Zwick and Hopkins netted back-to-back goals separated by just 18 seconds to go up 7-5 with 21:21 remaining in the game. After a Dartmouth goal pulled the Big Green within one, Hopkins scored a free position goal to keep the UMass cushion at two goals, 8-6, with just over 17 minutes to play.
With 16 minutes to go, Bennett scored her 10th goal of the season on a free position shot to make the game a one-goal affair once again. Chiusano netted her third goal 10 minutes later to tie the game. Wallace needed just 48 seconds after that to score the game-winner.
Dartmouth outshot UMass 23-to-14, but the Minutewomen held the edge in draw controls 14-to-5. Turnovers hurt UMass as the Minutewomen gave away 16 to just six for Dartmouth.
Colleen Speth made her second start in net for UMass making a total of six saves. Julie Wadland (2 saves, 44 minutes) and Chelsea Kirk (0 saves, 16 minutes) split time in cage for Dartmouth.

Poucing to catch its prey the delibrately slow marching tarantula patrol though the derest. Lying in wait the tarantula bends down and get ready for action. Showing its mighty razor sharp fangs it sucks all the yummy juice out of its dinner. The tarantula drags his victim back to its home.
While lying in wait the tarantulas spiky fans drip with venom waiting to ambush his victim. Its hairy legs crawl under the cover of darkness striking its unsuspecting prey. Tarantulas are a powerful hunter who stalk and sneak lurking for its dinner.

The venomous arachnid lays down a silk web, like a trapdoor, outside its burrow and pounces to catch its unsuspecting victim. The tarantula waits and lurks in its habitat under the cover of darkness. This venomous but powerful hunter waits patiently for its next meal. His fangs penetrate the victims body the venom poisons his dinner.

The honey bee flit their wings as they fly into the sky they collect precious nector As bees fly from one flower to the next they zigzag and buzz in to the sky.Each bee will land on to a sun flower and suck the nector up through their tongue

Collecting precious necter, Honey Bees appear out of control, buzzing and spinning, from one flower to the next. As they flit their wings, pollen falls from their spiky legs, helping more flowers grow. Necter is a valuable food for bees and is used to make honey by them.
Wednesday, October 13, 2010
The Honey Bee buzzes and spins like a yellow and black blur as it flys to a sun flower to collect pollen. Buzzing and spinning as if it is out of control, its 4 wings cover half of its body. The wings flit so fast that the bee's body is all blurry. Pollen is like seeds that help flowers grow and provide bees with nectar. | [

Of ALL the birds in the world, the kiskadee is my absolute favorite. I recall the Republic Reader that we had to read for school contained a poem about the kiskadee by Olga Comma-Maynard. Here is a snippet:
I know you by your yellow vest
You little keskidee
That suits so well that clean brown coat
That cling so close to thee
The little ring upon your head
That forms a little hat
Why if you stood with all the other birds
I would know you just by that
The Great Kiskadee is the coolest bird ever and I’m thankful that I get to see them every day. As a matter of fact, as I write this post, a few of them are outside my window being their noisy, beautiful selves.

🐦 The Great Kiskadee is named after it’s 3 syllable call. They’re one of the largest – and not to mention boisterous – members of the tyrant flycatcher family.
🐦 Kiskadees are known for their bold behavior like a Jay and can be quite cunning. They’re known to chase larger animals (such as snakes and monkeys) that attempt to raid their nests.

🐦 Kiskadees are natural adapters. Despite environmental changes, they can survive on a variety of food. However, they’re not too fond of mangoes, but will indulge in ripe bananas.
🐦 Although it’s the best known bird here (Trinidad), it is not normally found in the sister isle of Tobago.

🐦 Kiskadees are monogamous, meaning that they only have one mate.
The call of the kiskadee is loud and vivacious. They always seem to be asking “Où est-tu?” (French for “Where are you?”). Here is a video by Birdfun in which you can clearly hear the bird’s beautiful call.

I hope some one can offer me some advice, I have just started to use Beradi’s meal combinations of CHO + protein and fat+ protein. the problem I have is that I am type one diabetic and as such have to take humolog insulin with each meal and humlin I at night. The humilin I acts over a 24 hour period meaning I have a constant base line of insulin flowing through me, and the humolog acts over 2-4 hours. When I have a fat and protein meal I do not take the humolog as such my blood sugars raise unless I have taken a large dose of humilin I the night before, as such I have raised plasma insulin levels while increasing the lipids in my blood stream - which was what I was trying to avoid! As such what can I do to make the most of the massive eating plan while trying to keep my blood sugars and health in check? any advice from JMB or any would be appreciated.
I am definitely not an expert on insulin. But
what you’re saying you do makes sense. Let me
see if I understand your question: you use a
long acting 24hr insulin for basic coverage,
and then you use a short acting only with the
P+C meals. Your problem is that during the P+F
meals your blood glucose is getting too high?
P and F can cause some rise in glucose, but
usually not a lot, unless your body is
breaking down the protein into glucose. How
high is your blood glucose getting after the
P+F meals? Perhaps instead of taking insulin
with your P+F meals, what you might consider
doing is taking some ALA. The ALA might be
effective enough at disposing of the excess
glucose, without having to raise insulin
levels. Otherwise, I’m not sure. You could
also consider a small(!) amount of metformin,
but you would need to be careful mixing
metformin with insulin. I’m not a doctor and
I don’t even play one on TV, so you will
want to be careful and perhaps ask your doc.
Thanks free extropian, I’m going to look into your advive. I feel I am going to just have to comprimise and take small doses of humolog with the protein + fat meals or increase the dosage of humilin, it is not perfect but better than just having meals of high fat and high carbs | [

11 simple things that are proven to make your relationship better
We know the basic building blocks of a healthy relationship. We know that we should trust each other, be kind to one another, and be there for support and encouragement whenever our partner needs us. But there’s a lot of stuff that happens in between those principles that make relationships really difficult to maintain. I mean, let’s face it. Relationships are far from easy, especially if you’re sharing a home and sharing a life.
We can thank modern science for all the extensive research that’s been done on happy couples, though, because it teaches us a lot about what keeps people in love — and what makes them fall out of love. For example, we’ve even recently learned that divvying up household chores in an equal, non-gendered way is one thing that keeps couples happy and more sexually active. Who would’ve thought?! Let’s see what else makes the list.
Here are 11 things proven to make relationships better.
1. Think positive thoughts
It sounds impossibly hokey and like something straight out of a pop psychology handbook, but staying positive is proven to make everything better in life — your career, your social life, and, yep, your relationship. Professor Barbara Fredrickson, a social psychologist from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, has been researching human emotions for the past 25 years. She and her team have found that positive thinking can even change the rhythmic beating of your heart. Whoa! They’re even looking into how it can positively affect your immune system.
According to Fredrickson, pumping yourself up with positive emotions helps you “connect with others and build our relationships.” So what are you waiting for? Tell yourself that everything is going to work out, and actually believe it. It’ll only do good for your relationship.
2. Argue in a healthy way
Studies show that couples with poor communication skills are some of the most unhappy people on the planet. No surprise there, though. Every single couple fights, so don’t feel bad if you fall into that category. It’s not about how often you argue, but how you do it that really affects your relationship. Keep your focus on the solution, rather than just airing out all the dirty laundry that has taken place since day one of your relationship.
Also, allow each other to actually speak their mind. Don’t just cut each other off and talk yourself in circles. What your partner has to say matters, even if it might be hard to hear at the time.
3. Don’t fight about money
This is a tough one, because money issues are the number one reason couples break up. There will always be some differences in the way you handle money, how much money you make, how much money you save, etc. However, try to solve the problems at hand instead of blow up in each others’ faces about it. Don’t fall into self righteousness, and try to see what money signifies for your S.O., rather than focusing on the money itself.
4. Say words of encouragement to each other
By evoking phrases like “Great job!” and “I’m so proud of you,” couples increase their happiness levels and report feeling less depressed. All it takes is saying three of those phrases once a day for one week before you feel the effects. The more you encourage one another and ask your partner to tell you about the triumphs in their lives, the more likely you’ll both feel comfortable and safe.
5. Have strong friendships outside of your relationship
Your whole life shouldn’t be only about each other. As soon as you start to rely on your partner to provide you with everything you want and need in life, you’re bound to crash and burn. Jon Kleinberg, a computer scientist at Cornell University, and Lars Backstrom, a senior engineer at Facebook, conducted a study showing that the weakest relationships are the ones where both parties share the same number of mutual friends.
In other words, the more friends you have on your own, independently in your social life, the happier you’re bound to be in your relationship. It’s called “dispersion,” and the higher “dispersion” you have (aka the more friends you two have who aren’t connected to each other), the longer you’ll last.
6. Spend six more hours together a week
Studies show that couples who clock in an extra six hours of together time every week, compared to the average relationship, are more likely to make it to the finish line. You might be thinking, Um, that’s, like, a whole night of sleep. Not so fast. You don’t have to pull an all-nighter to improve your relationship. It just takes small gestures every day to keep the romance going.

Marine experts warned people using Sydney Harbour and its adjoining rivers to beware of sharks after a man was attacked while he was out canoeing.
Paul McNamara, 35, suffered bruising and minor cuts when the shark rammed his kayak in the Parramatta river, which feeds into the harbour. "There was an almighty bang, and it was like someone had just picked the kayak up and flung me in the water," he said yesterday.
The shark circled him in the water as he attempted to escape, then butted him in the chest and winded him, he said. He managed to swim to a nearby buoy and clung to it for an hour before he was rescued by passing fishermen.
McNamara was not bitten, but the kayak had part of a shark's tooth embedded in it after the incident, as well as a large bite mark.
Police said the fish, believed to be an aggressive bull shark, might have ventured into the harbour's upper reaches to feed after recent heavy rains. They advised kayakers and rowing teams practising on the river to exercise caution.
The incident followed a similar attack last year in which a shark tried to overturn a school rowing boat. Before that, in 1996, a man required 50 stitches after being attacked by a shark as he swam at night in the Parramatta river. No one has been killed by a shark off Sydney's beaches or in the harbour since the Sixties.
John West, a shark expert from Sydney's Taronga Zoo, said people should be conscious of the presence of sharks in the harbour and rivers during the summer. "They just need to be aware that there could be sharks in the area, and it's a natural environment for them," he said.Reuse content | [

For the first time, up to five Mario lovers can explore a game together. One player uses the GamePad to provide help and support, including building new platforms in the air for others to jump onto. The other players use the regular Wii remotes to bounce through levels of the Mushroom Kingdom in search of the princess-stealing Bowser.Dec 8th, 2012 · Wii U · read review

New Super Mario Bros. U makes a fine Wii U debut for Nintendo's dungaree-clad superstar. It offers plenty of classic 2D side-scrolling action for players who just want more of what they've always loved in old-school Mario games. Then it sweetens the pot by offering groups of gamers something completely new in Boost mode, which can be used by parents to help struggling kids work through tricky areas or veterans to improve their scores and find hidden treasures. Some friends may even make up their own challenges in Boost mode by attempting to, say, see whether they can use the platforms they conjure to stymie rather than help each other.2012 · Wii U · read review

New Super Mario Bros. U is close to the ideal 2D Mario game hinted at by the debut of New Super Mario Bros. seven years ago. It’s a more sincere follow-up to Super Mario World than any previous game, and even if its innovations are muted and on the periphery, this is the evolution the series needed. It’s a simple question, really: Do you like 2D Mario? If so, play this game. It is that damn good.Nov 21st, 2012 · Wii U · read review

It’s certainly a step up in terms of visuals, and looks great both on the big screen and on the Wii U Game Pad. I do, really, really wish the soundtrack could get a bit of a makeover, but outside of that I have little in the way of complaints to level at the game. One glaring omission, on the side of local co-op, is that you can’t use a Game Pad and single Wii U remote to play traditional co-op with, instead it only gives you the option for Boost mode, forcing you to use two Wii remotes if you want to play standard co-op. It seems like a weird thing to force on players, and should really be changed if possible. Besides those two grievances, I definitely think New Super Mario Bros. U is well worth picking up alongside your brand new Wii U system, and makes for a suitably fun and engaging launch day experience.Nov 26th, 2012 · Wii U · read review

All in all, New Super Mario Bros. U is Wii U’s first must-have title, especially if you’re a fan of Mario or platforming games. It’s the culmination of the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series, and perhaps the best 2D Mario title since the SNES era. This is all thanks to how well it strikes a balance between the offering of recognizable mechanics and original ones. It’s also great to finally see Mario enter the HD era, even if he didn’t get the full 1080p treatment. What’s most important here, however, is how charming and right this game feels. The platforming is rock solid, the puzzles are complex yet not infuriatingly difficult, the Challenge Mode is a glorious addition to the tried-and-true formula found in the story mode, and the new features make it very hard to go back to playing any of the other New Super Mario Bros. games. I’m still waiting with bated breath for a rightful sequel to Super Mario Galaxy 2, but in the meantime, I’m very content with playing New Super Mario Bros. U.Nov 26th, 2012 · Wii U · read review
Co-Optimus (4.5 out of 5) (90%)
One of these days, Nintendo will release a co-op Mario game that delivers on all of the potential inherent in the idea. For now, New Super Mario Bros. U is about as close as they’ve come. Boasting the best 2D Mario action since the SNES days, shiny new HD graphics, and a fun & challenging set of levels to play through, this is an easy recommendation.Jan 8th, 2013 · Wii U · read review

December 9, 2021 – Season conception it does not affect whether more boys than girls are born, nor does the ambient temperature, a large study reveals. Similarly, the researchers found no association with the level of violent crime at the site, the unemployment rate, or major events such as Hurricane Katrina.
But certain chemical contaminants were associated with fewer boys born compared to girls when researchers looked at data for more than 3 million newborns over 8 years in the U.S. and another 3 million more births over 30 in Sweden.
“With data on births in 150 million people in the U.S. over 8 years and 9 million Swedes over 9 years, this is almost certainly the largest study to date on environmental factors and their impact on the sex ratio at birth,” says Shanna Swan. dr., which was not related to the research
Variations in the annual birth rate (SRB) – the number of boys born compared to the overall birth rate – are well accepted. It is less clear which things drive these changes.
While not the first study to look for links between major events or pollutants in the air, water and land and SRB, it is the first to explore two very large electronic databases of medical records for responses, senior study author Andrey Rzhetsky, Ph.D. says a professor of medicine and human genetics at the University of Chicago Medscape Medical News.
The findings were published on December 2, 2021 in PLOS computer biology.
And although the SRB did not differ significantly after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it did after the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, Rzhetsky and colleagues found. The SRB was lower than expected 34 weeks after the mass shooting.
Location, location, location
Researchers also found that levels of chemical pollutants “differ significantly” in different regions of the country. For example, lead in the country was elevated in the northeast, southwest, and Middle East of the U.S., but not in the south. Also, the highest levels of total mercury in water samples were found mainly in eastern states, especially in the northeast.
Rzhetsky and coworkers mapped these regional differences in many factors, including hydrazine. Hydrazine is a foaming agent used for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and as a propellant for spacecraft.
“Hydrazine appears to follow whimsical stain-like forms in the eastern United States, and each stain is likely focused on a factory that releases this pollutant,” the authors wrote.
To get a more complete picture, the researchers also compared changes in the SRB with data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute and Swedish Statistics.
They found that aluminum in the air, chromium in water, and the total mercury level was raised by the SRB. For comparison, lead in the soil and areas with higher occupancy of renters is associated with a lower SRB, ie a higher share of girls born.
Rzhetsky and co-workers also add evidence for a link between polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and SRBs. The previous findings are in conflict, the authors pointed out.
“Because the sample sizes of the studies published so far have been very small, our PCB results would have had significantly greater statistical power,” they said.
Several pollutants had no significant association with SRB in the study, including levels of lead or chromium in the air, arsenic in the soil, and cadmium in the air or water.
The research was said to have had limitations.
“Size is new in terms of birth rates, and statistical methods are unusually sophisticated, but the conclusions don’t really differ from most published ones,” says Swan, a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the institute. Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York.
“The message to take with you is that many of the exposures examined are associated with lower – and some with higher – SRBs is not new, but it is consistent with other, smaller studies,” says Swan, who co-authored September 2021 study assessment of chemicals that disrupt the endocrine system and lower birth rates in Asia.
“Environmental exposure data is quite uneven and is known only at the ecological level, not at the individual level,” she says. “We learn, for example, that SRB has been significantly reduced … among families living in areas with the highest exposure to lead, but also among those among the largest septils of renters’ occupancy rates.”
“It’s hard to assess these mechanisms and credibility,” Swan says.
More research guaranteed
The mechanism is still unknown, but researchers have suggested that the pregnancy of female embryos may end early in development, which will increase SRB. Also, deaths of male embryos are more common in the late second or third trimester, at which point they would reduce SRB. | [

Day-to-Day with God
October 10, 2023
From Pastor Joe Wamack
As many of you know, my older sister Rosalie has cancer. It is pretty serious cancer (I guess all cancers are serious), but this is stage 4 cancer with chemo and radiation being done, essentially to give her as much time to live as possible. She told me that she knew it was a matter of a waiting game. I talked to her husband, my brother-in-law about what he was going to do when she passed away, and he discussed life without Rosalie. (He brought the topic up, not me.).
Maybe it is my years of working in hospitals and chaplain/pastor stuff, but I am a big proponent of talking about end-of-life care, about filling out a will, about what you want done for a service, when you pass away and everything. Sadly, dying is part of life.
But all of this discussion has made me reflect on the day-to-day existence we each have-while we are here and now. None of us is promised anything. All we each have is this 24-hour time period. My sister texted me the other day and part of what she said was, “Live each day without looking ahead. Just be now.” When everything is stripped away, all we have is time to live.
And so the question is-why don’t we appreciate this time? Why do we argue and worry about small stuff? Why don’t we tell the people we love we love them? Why don’t we sing praises to God more and thank Him for Life itself? Not the stuff, not the clothes, not the money, not the car, not the house, but LIFE-walking with Jesus, my heart is beating, I am thankful to be alive LIFE. There is a great quote by Ellen White from the book, Steps to Christ, (pg. 70) that says,
“Consecrate yourself to God in the morning; make this your very first work. Let your prayer be, “Take me, O Lord, as wholly Thine. I lay all my plans at Thy feet. Use me today in Thy service. Abide with me and let all my work be wrought in Thee.” This is a daily matter. Each morning consecrate yourself to God for that day. Surrender all your plans to Him, to be carried out or given up as His providence shall indicate. Thus, day by day you may be giving your life into the hands of God, and thus your life will be molded more and more after the life of Christ.”
Jesus lived day to day with God. All the things of this world will fade, but the blessings of God will remain and can be ours for eternity. These are the things to pursue. Life is short. Be blessed with God-today. | [

Nobody wants to see that anyway.
Interesting article here about taking pictures during the birth of a child. The most interesting thing about it is the person interviewed who said they wanted to film their 8th child just like all the rest. Look, Laurie Shifler, #1, nobody wants to see that happening down there. My cousin video'd hers and I nearly threw up. #2, At that point all babies look exactly alike. Nasty little shriveled up and wet, red and wrinkled. Just use the same pics for #8 as you did for #7. Who's gonna know? #3, It's your private parts, not a clown car. Quit having kids! You're not going to discipline them properly and taxpayers can't afford to feed them. | [

Our veterans and their families have sacrificed to serve our country and we must protect and provide the care they earned. That’s why I recently raised an extremely troubling problem with the administration that is affecting hundreds of thousands of our nation’s veterans—the claims backlog at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
At the beginning of May, the VA backlog stood at a staggering 882,023 claims. The wait time for initial disability claims is almost a full year. In the last four years, the number of claims pending for over a year has grown by more than 2,000 percent, despite a 40 percent increase in the VA’s budget. This is an alarming statistic that was referenced in a letter we recently sent to President Obama that outlined our concerns and urged his “direct and public involvement” in this matter.
While budgets for federal agencies have experienced cuts due to sequestration, the amount of funding the sequester-exempt Veterans Administration has received over the past few years has only increased; yet, the size of the backlog of disability claims currently pending continues to grow by massive proportions. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki admits funding is not the issue and set a goal of eliminating this backlog by the end of 2015.
A recent directive issued by the VA central office calls for the oldest cases to be fast tracked through the claims process. The VA is also moving to electronic records processing with the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS). This new tool is expected to help accelerate the claims process and should be installed in all of the regional VA offices by the end of the year. Switching to the new electronic records processing system will serve to greatly reduce wait times, reduce the backlog, and provide the level of service our veteran community deserves.
The Veterans Benefits Administration—the organizational element of the VA that processes disability, pension and other claims for the larger agency—recently announced that it eliminated executive bonuses and will instead reinvest that money to speed up eliminating the backlog. This is a step in the right direction.
Serving our country in uniform is an extremely noble undertaking that all-too-often goes under-appreciated and unnoticed. This is a terrible wrong that we are working hard to correct. We can start by fixing the last place where our veterans should be underserved – the VA. | [

Tell Congress to stand up to corporate influence
Alarmingly, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that corporations are entitled to spend unlimited funds in our elections, rolling back a century of modest limits. Powerful multinational corporations already exert disproportionate influence in Washington, and the Supreme Court’s decision makes this problem much, much worse.
Congress must act now to stop corporate interests from using their immense financial resources to shut the public out of its own government. Here’s what Congress can do now:
1.) Support and pass the public financing of elections by becoming a co-sponsor of the Fair Elections Now Act (H.R.1826, S.752). Public financing is the single most effective legislative remedy to the current corrosive system of campaign finance. The Fair Elections Now Act offers qualified congressional candidates a viable alternative that incentivizes small donations and provides competitive grants.
2.) Support shareholder protection to stop corporate executives from using shareholder money to further their own political agendas. Corporate political expenditures, including expenditures for campaign ads, electioneering communications, issue advocacy and ballot measure campaigns at the state and federal levels should require majority approval of all shareholders.
The ultimate solution to this problem is the Free Speech for People Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Tell your members of Congress to support a constitutional amendment to make clear that First Amendment rights belong to natural persons and the press and do not apply to for-profit corporations. Corporations are not people, they do not vote, and they should not be able to influence election outcomes. It is time to end the debate about the freedom of speech of for-profit corporations by amending the Constitution.
Use the simple form below to send your message to Congress. Tell your representative and senators you want to curb the influence of corporate spending in elections.

Please take a moment to add your own words to the email below. This greatly increases the likelihood that your message will make a difference! You can also ask your representative and senators to fight corporate influence in elections by phone by calling the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Let us know how it goes! | [

Amy Schumer’s new movie I Feel Pretty will be released sooner than expected, having received a positive reception online.
The film was originally scheduled for release on 29 June (18) but STXfilms announced on Wednesday (14Feb18) that it will now hit cinemas on 27 April, claiming the studio’s decision to bring the film forward stems from the promising response to the trailer.
The YouTube video has had over four million views since it first dropped on 8 February, and STXfilms added that a successful test screening of I Feel Pretty also contributed to their decision to change the date.
Amy, 36, plays the lead role in the comedy flick, about a woman called Renee who struggles with feelings of inadequacy until she has a fall in her SoulCycle class and wakes up believing she’s the most beautiful woman in the world.
The comedian will star alongside Michelle Williams, who plays Amy’s boss in the film, as well as co-stars including Emily Ratajkowski and Rory Scovel. Screenwriting duo Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, whose wife Busy Philipps also stars in the film, have co-written the movie, which will also mark the pair’s directorial debut having previously written for romantic comedies such as Never Been Kissed and He’s Just Not That Into You.
The Trainwreck star was also lined up to play Barbie in the live-action Sony/Mattel collaboration scheduled for release in 2020, but eventually had to turn down the project due to scheduling conflicts, with the role being re-cast to Oscar winner Anne Hathaway. However, Amy has previously shared that she’s more than happy with her replacement.
“Hathaway smathaway jkjk she’s perfect (sic)!!” the actress captioned a selfie she posted online. “Can’t wait to see it!” | [

In Parabolic Beauty, we can see the parabolic motion of water from a garden hose. The pressure which drives the water through the hose and causes the initial water velocity and is derived from a water reservoir elevated above the level of the hose. The gravitational attraction of the water to the earth is based on the mass of the water and the earth. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when the water flows downward through the pipe system to the hose nozzle. The velocity of water in the horizontal direction is constant. In contrast, the gravitational force of the earth, constantly accelerates the vertical component of the water’s motion. At the apex the water's vertical motion is zero. Likewise, when the water reaches the level of the hose the vertical component of velocity is equal to the vertical component of velocity when it left the hose, except that the vector is in the opposite direction. In addition, the beautiful red color of the roses and the verdant green foliage are examples of natural pigment reflection. In the case of the roses, the pigment that makes the roses red absorbs other colors of light, and reflects the red wavelengths of visible light causing them to appear red. | [

I need to get this understanding right once and for all. Because of what the photoelectric effect demonstrated, photon energy was seen as proportional to their frequencies (not amplitudes). When shining a light with higher frequency on a metal surface, it would eject an electron whereas a light with a lower frequency could have been unable to. Now, when considering the intensity of light however, isn't that value proportional to the amplitude of the light? I chose choice A due to the nature of the question, but I have trouble swallowing Kaplan's notion that light intensity is proportional to frequency.
Because I'm thinking the the brightness of a light comes from the additive nature of multiple photon waveforms, it is not necessarily proportional to the energy of the individual photon (frequency), but rather the amplitude of each individual photon * number of photons would equal the amplitude of the "light" in its entirety (if each photon were constructively added together).
Anything would be appreciated to help understand this concept.
Perhaps I do not have a full understanding of what constitutes a wave vs. particle, and how each of these two would fundamentally behave. | [

Why Is Beyonce Keeping Quiet About Her Next Album? There Could Be A Number Of Reasons
With the recent release of "Formation," members of the Bey Hive can't help but find themselves wondering when the Queen will drop a new album. There's been all sorts of gossip and rumors surrounding the inevitable event, but no one is certain why Beyoncé is keeping quiet about a new album. I mean, the real answer is because Bey does whatever she d*mn well pleases thank you very much — but what goes into that? Why isn't there any new information about Beyoncé's next album now that she's dropped one single that will more than likely be on it?
When Beyoncé dropped her self-titled album in 2013, she did it in conjunction with a world tour and a Super Bowl performance. This time, the "Formation" world tour has been announced, and a Bey has already put on a Super Bowl performance that wowed us all... so it has to be only a matter of time before she gives us that sweet, sweet album we so long for, right? So, where are the hints about when the album is coming, or what to expect from it?
The following are the theories on why Queen Bey is keeping on the DL about what may be her greatest release ever.
1. It's A Surprise Album
Maybe Beyoncé's not telling us when she's going to drop it because she's trying to pretend it's all of our birthdays and she's giving us the best gift ever. She dropped a surprise album on us in 2013, so it's possible she could do it again.
2. The Marketing Is Going To Come Through TIDAL
It could be possible that Beyoncé isn't going to talk about the album herself at all — and instead let TIDAL handle its marketing. Considering her music video for "Formation" was first made exclusively available on there (not to mention TIDAL is owned by her husband Jay Z), this would make sense.
3. She's Waiting Until Her "Formation" Tour Starts
Maybe she will drop her songs when her tour begins at the end of April? So when people hear the songs at her shows they'll be surprised? That would be pretty cool.
4. There Is No Album
I think I'm getting a little too paranoid.
5. Timing Is Everything
If timing is important, maybe the wait and the secrecy has a symbolic reasoning: Bey feels a special connection with the number four. I mean, think about it: Her fourth album was called Four, and she said in an interview with Good Morning America back in 2011 that:
My birthday is on the fourth. My mother's birthday is on the fourth. My husband's birthday is on the fourth. I got married on the fourth.
So... maybe she will release the album on April 4, 2016: the fourth day of the fourth month of the year 2016 (also, four times four equals 16... 2016). Yeah, that would really be some serious thought towards timing, but would you expect any less from Bey?
All I can do is theorize and make guesses about why Bey is keeping her mouth shut about her next album. At this point, we can only hope that the Queen gives something to her people soon. We are desperate! | [

On February 10, 2016, ALJ Thomas B. Pender issued Order No. 7 in Certain Table Saws Incorporating Active Injury Mitigation Technology and Components Thereof (Inv. No. 337-TA-965).
By way of background, this investigation is based on a July 16, 2015 complaint filed by SawStop, LLC and SD3, LLC alleging violation of Section 337 in the importation into the U.S. and sale of certain certain table saws incorporating active injury mitigation technology and components thereof that infringe one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,225,712; 7,600,455; 7,610,836; 7,895,927; 8,011,279; and 8,191,450. See our July 16, 2015 and August 28, 2015 posts for more details on the complaint and Notice of Investigation, respectively.
In Order 7, ALJ Pender construed five disputed claim terms and/or groups of claim terms. Specifically, ALJ Pender construed: (1) “detection system,” “reaction system...,” “control system...,” “self-test system...,” and “safety system... “; (2) “motion detection system”; (3) “predetermined action” and “specified action;” (4) “cartridge”; and (5) “moveable component.”
With respect to the first set of claim terms, Respondents Robert Bosch Tool Corporation and Robert Bosch GmbH (“Bosch”) argued that Complainants SawStop, LLC and SD3, LLC (“SawStop”) “do not explain what the plain and ordinary meaning is...” ALJ Pender noted that “claim terms are construed from the perspective of a person of ordinary skill in the art in view of the specification and prosecution history” and held that “[n]either party’s construction makes any meaningful difference with respect to claim scope.” Accordingly, ALJ Pender held that the terms should be given their plain and ordinary meaning.
Regarding the second claim term, Bosch argued that term is limited to the embodiment of Fig. 5, which was selected for prosecution by the patentee in response to an election requirement. ALJ Pender noted that “Bosch admit[ed] that the patent examiner allowed the patentee to rejoin the non-elected species in the dependent claims.” Accordingly, ALJ Pender held that “there is no clear and unmistakable disclaimer to justify narrowing the claim term” and that the term should be given its plain and ordinary meaning.
As to the third set of claim terms, Bosch argued that the terms are indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 2 or, if not indefinite, should be given their “plain English meaning.” ALJ Pender held that “the claim language and the patent specification provide examples of predetermined actions and specified actions such that a person of ordinary skill in the art may ascertain the scope of the claims with reasonable certainty.” ALJ Pender rejected Bosch’s “plain English meaning” and further noted that “[i]t is black letter law that claim terms are to be construed from the perspective of a person of ordinary skill in the art in view of the specification and prosecution history.” Accordingly, ALJ Pender held that the terms should be given their plain and ordinary meaning.
With respect to the fourth and fifth claim terms, ALJ Pender held that Bosch’s “proposed construction improperly narrows the scope of the claims by importing limitations from the embodiments disclosed in the specification into the claims.” Accordingly, ALJ Pender determined that both terms should be given their plain and ordinary meanings. | [

Synthovial 7 is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a special mucopolysacharide that is the normal lubricant in human joints. When present in a joint, even a joint with minimal or no cartilage, it can provide a cushion effect.
Hyaluronic acid helps to maintain smooth, elastic skin. HA is used in many cosmetics such as make-up and moisturizing creams. Basically, HA helps to hold water in the skin. HA helps control cell migration which protects cells and also activates the white cells.
IT WORKS FAST!!!
Synthovial 7 is a liquid solution of hyaluronic acid. Oral solutions by nature are absorbed by the body easier and quicker than tablets and capsules. Enjoy the benefits faster.
IT IS EASY TO TAKE!!!
A full dropper, one (1) ml. in a glass of water once a day is all it takes. You don’t have to worry if you have taken the third dose of your medication today. You don’t have to make doctor appointments for those costly and painful injections. No more of those smelly and messy creams.
IT IS SAFE!!!
Synthovial 7 is hyaluronic acid that comes from an extracellular substance produced by a bacteria. There are no animal derivatives. Since HA is native to the human body and our product is not derived from animal tissue, hypersensitivity is not a concern. There are no known side effects. For best results, use a full dropper, one (1) ml. daily in cold water.
Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid.
Contains approximately one month’s supply. | [

Boston College vs. Notre Dame: Final Thoughts And Predictions
Boston College and Notre Dame face off tomorrow in South Bend, the 23rd installment of this historic rivalry. The Irish have owned the series of late, winning the previous six matchups, including in 2017 when they walloped the Eagles 49-20 in Chestnut Hill. Currently at 8-2, and #15 in the country, Notre Dame is going to be a huge challenge for Boston College, especially on defense where the Eagles have struggled to stop much lesser offenses.
Notre Dame is a very good football team and balanced on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Ian Book has struggled against good defenses, but rips apart defenses that aren't elite, which is a bad sign for the Eagles. ND has weapons up and down the line, and one of the best passing defenses in the country. But in a rivalry game, one where BC has kept it close in most of the losses, anything can happen.
Three Questions That Need To Be Answered Against Notre Dame
When Notre Dame Runs The Ball: Advantage Notre Dame. Tony Jones Jr hasn't had a break out game yet this season, but against BC's struggling defense he might just have one of those games. Throw in a mobile QB, and Saturday's matchup just got that much more difficult
When Notre Dame Passes The Ball: Advantage Notre Dame. Ian Book has thrown for 26 touchdowns this season, and BC's defense is near the bottom in every statistical category. This could get ugly if BC can't get off the field
When Boston College Passes The Ball: Advantage Notre Dame. Dennis Grosel has been impressive when he has thrown the ball, but he has struggled when facing good defenses. Notre Dame is 4th in the country in yards allowed through the air.
When Boston College Runs The Ball: Advantage Boston College. Here is the one advantage the Eagles have. Notre Dame struggles against the run, and BC obviously can move the ball with AJ Dillon and David Bailey. If BC is going to win this game, they are going to need to dominate in this area.
Beer Of The Game
Guinness. Of course when playing the Fighting Irish I went with a beer straight from Ireland. I visited the Emerald Isle back in 2012, and it is true, Guinness does taste different over there. But even stateside, this is a fantastic beer, especially straight from the tap at your favorite pub.
Song of the Week
Forget a rap song, I have a better video for you...
Fan Excitement: 3/10
This is the state of Boston College football. The Eagles are facing off against the Fighting Irish and the fanbase seems lukewarm about the game. Partially this is due to the FSU loss, partially this is due to the expectations that BC is going to lose badly in this game. Whatever the true root cause, there is a lack of emotion going into a BC/ND game that I haven't seen before out of Eagles fans.

Notre Dame 52 Boston College 10. I want to believe that the Eagles can win this, but I just see the Notre Dame offense and can't figure out a way that a historically bad BC defense finds a way to stop them. I see this playing out just the way Clemson did where the Fighting Irish score early and often, and the wheels just come off for BC on both sides of the ball. | [

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Republican Gov. John Kasich's (KAY'-siks) Libertarian and tea party foes are sidelined. Now his Democratic rival's campaign has disintegrated.
That's raising questions about what non-Kasich supporters will do on Election Day. They could skip over his race against embattled Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald, throw their support behind the longshot third-party ticket — or just stay home.
FitzGerald has seen an exodus of top campaign aides and is diverting significant campaign resources to Democrats' overall get-out-the-vote efforts after a series of political missteps, including revelations he lacked a permanent driver's license for a decade.
University of Cincinnati political scientist David Niven says FitzGerald's troubles will depress Democratic turnout.
As for conservatives who oppose Kasich and supported unsuccessful challenges, a tea party leader says they'll probably vote but skip the governor's race. | [

Jack Bugas was the second in command at Ford Motor Company during the presidency and chairmanship reign of Henry Ford II. He is best known for wresting control of the company from Harry Bennett following the death of Edsel Ford. Bugas worked for years to help retire his father’s debts, including quitting school at the age of 16 for two years.
About John Bugas in brief
Jack Bugas was the second in command at Ford Motor Company during the presidency and chairmanship reign of Henry Ford II. He is best known for wresting control of the company from Harry Bennett following the death of Edsel Ford. Bugas worked for years to help retire his father’s debts, including quitting school at the age of 16 for two years when his father placed him in charge of a road construction crew. He graduated cum laude from college and law school in 1934, and went to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation the following spring. By 1938 J. Edgar Hoover appointed him head of the FBI’s Detroit office, a strategically very important position as at the time Michigan counted heavily in the national defense plans. He notably led the quashing of two Nazi spy rings and personally captured Enemy Number One Tom Robinson at gunpoint. In 1944, Bugas left public service to join Ford Motor company, still deeply shaken by the kidnapping of his friend Lindbergh, but would remain close friends and friends with Hoover until Hoover’s death in 1972. The Bugas family originated from Austria. Andrew Bugas immigrated to the United States in 1882 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen at age 26 in 1891. Andrew and Helena Bugas married in 1902 and from 1903 to 1929 had a total of eight sons and two daughters. The parents of Jack Bugas, Andrew P. Bugas and Helena L.Bugas, were both born in Austria, and moved to Wamsutter, Wyoming, in 1909.
The family moved to Wyoming in 1909, and Andrew opened the first agency for the Continental Oil Company, operated a small hotel and post office, ran a roadConstruction and trucking company, and developed a family ranch he would name the Eagle’s Nest. When he was in his early teens, his father’s debts forced the family to mortgage the Eagle”s Nest. The tall, rangy Bugas ) was a \”star forward\” for four years on Willard Witte’s University of Wyoming basketball team ), and was also on the baseball and track & field teams and a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He would later say that as a child he would punch cows for entertainment. He never wore shoes or ate candy until he was 14, and when he found me under the bed at the house, I had chewed half-way through one of the hob-nail boots because I thought it was candy. So 10 days later, I ran out a mile from the ranch house to meet him and he tossed me a couple of packages. He later recalled standing with his father outside the Eagle Nest house weeping as they burned the paid-off note. He later said that the experience was “the hardest and most important in his life” and “what gave him confidence and taught him self-reliance” Bugas later said he would never wear shoes or candy again. | [

The First Ever Large Scale Sale of a 6.8x43mm Caliber Rifle to a Military
Back in 2001 a new cartridge concept was thought up by 5th Special Forces Group MSG Steve Holland. He wished to increase the firepower of the Special Operations soldier by providing a much more effective round than the 5.56mm. He felt it lacked the stopping and penetration power needed by a battle rifle. Starting with a.30 Rem cartridge cases, MSG Holland created a wildcat cartridge that would function in an AR/M16 platform rifle and would only require changing of the barrel, bolt and magazine. This prototype cartridge was handed over to the United States Army Marksmanship Unit headed by Troy Lawton. This product would be funded by Remington’s Sean Dwyer, who claimed Remington wanted to do their part in the Global War on Terrorism. Remington began final development of the cartridge in the fall of 2001 using the concept wildcat cartridges made up by MSG Holland which were in effect shortened.30 Rem brass. Auto CAD drawings of the cartridge case were prepared by Cris Murray of the Army Marksmanship Unit. Remington’s final task was to standardize the dimensions. The first production of the new 6.8x43mm Rem SPC cartridge was in 2002 with full production beginning in 2003. Right up to the 2004 time period this cartridge was kept very secretive by all the companies involved. Some of the first rifles were manufactured by David Dunlap of Precision Reflex, Inc. At SHOT Show 2005, many manufactures were quick to produce rifles chambered for the new cartridge before ammunition was even available. However, even after initial release the cartridge was still under development to maximize its potential. SAAMI accepted the new cartridge and some other manufacturers got on board with manufacturing. The finalized 6.8x43mm Rem SPC required a slightly modified chamber than the original, hence the Spec 2 chamber. It was found with the fully optimized ammunition, it was not safe to load it in the original Spec 1 chamber. The primary load was a 115gr Sierra open tip match projectile at a velocity of around 2,650 feet per second. Loads available are from 77 to 135 grains in weight.
Many manufacturers decided to stay with the SAAMI spec chamber which was the original Spec 1. Others went ahead and upgraded to the Spec 2. Ammunition manufacturers did not really want to make a cartridge that would not be safe in some guns that were out there so they mostly stayed with the SAAMI Spec 1 chamber. They could be sure that their ammunition would be safe to shoot in all existing rifles. One company did take on the Spec 2 load and that was Silver State Armory. It would be safe to say that Silver State Armory has done more product development of 6.8x43mm ammunition than anyone out there other than Remington. Their Spec 2 chamber ammo is specifically marked.
The path of the 6.8x43mm Rem SPC cartridge is quite disappointing to say the least. USSOCOM looked at it and they were less than thrilled, more than likely not due to its performance capabilities but due to ammunition compatibility. This would also be the introduction of a non-NATO standardized cartridge. Feeding was an issue. Designing a magazine that would fit an M16/M4 lower receiver proved to be a difficult task. The cartridge did get a following in the commercial market. Several companies manufacture rifles in this caliber. The cartridge is ideal for medium game hunting and is quite popular for deer and hog. Few ammunition companies really took it on. Of course Remington offers a good line of ammo. As previously stated Silver State Armory specializes in the 6.8x43mm Rem SPR cartridge offering more loads than any other company. Ammunition is also offered by Hornady, Corbon, Federal, Seller &Bellot, Double Tap and Barrett.
Of all the manufacturers of modern military arms, LWRCI has come to be best known for producing military grade rifles chambered in the 6.8x43mm Rem SPR cartridge, releasing their rifle in 2007. The company is known for producing rifles with their proprietary short stroke tapped piston 2that adapted a 6.8 barrel, modified bolt and magazine. Magazines are produced mostly by CProducts Defense and Precision Reflex, Inc. They are now also made by D&H Tactical. In an industry that had pretty much given up on the caliber, LWRCI always believed in its potential and continued to improve their rifles. LWRCI is also in the international market and sells arms throughout the world. Of course their primary sales are all 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm. However in 2010, LWRCI met with a special operations group from a Middle Eastern country. Due to contractual agreements they are not at liberty to divulge the name of this unit. This group was looking for a short barreled rifle that packed a heavy punch. LWR | [

Purple flowers are not just for Easter. Many purple plants can thrive in your garden, and you should consider adding them to your collection. Purple flowers can be used in a variety of ways, including bouquets, centerpieces, and even floral arrangements.
If you are looking to add some color and interest to your flower beds or garden, here are 10 plants with purple flowers that will make great additions:
Wisteria is a flowering plant in the genus Wisteria, native to Japan but widely cultivated in many other regions of the world. These shrubs or vines have long, pendulous racemes of violet, lavender, or white flowers, which often smell sweet. The leaf has five leaflets, and the flowers are borne on woody stalks up to 15 feet long.
Wisteria is a deciduous vine with large clusters of fragrant flower buds that open in late spring or early summer. It can grow as an annual vine if planted in well-drained soil, but it will become dormant until spring arrives again. As an ornamental plant, it can be used in gardens as a ground cover around patios and walkways where there is plenty of room for its roots to spread out into other areas—not just against walls like many other climbing plants do!
If you are looking for a versatile flower that can be grown in most climates, consider growing an aster. These plants are known for their beautiful flowers and easy-to-grow nature. The variety of purple flowers on the aster plant makes them popular among gardeners and homeowners alike.
Asters, native to North America, can also grow in Europe and Australia. Most varieties will do well in sun or partial shade, so they work well as part of your yard’s design no matter where you live! These plants are extremely flexible; they come as annuals, perennials, or biennials, depending on what kind of growth cycle you want from them. Asters are also good choices if you have children because there isn’t much that can harm this species when grown properly (but always use caution).

Dischidia Pectenoides Variegata
Dischidia Pectenoides Variegata is a beautiful vine with fantastic purple flowers. It grows best in bright light and produces stems up to 15 feet long. This plant is a perfect choice if you are looking for an easy way to add color to your garden.
Dischidia Pectenoides Variegata thrives in many different types of soil but prefers moist, well-drained loamy soil. The vines are fast growers, so they will need plenty of space around them as they continue to grow. This versatile plant will do well indoors or out—just be sure not to overwater it since doing so can cause root rot problems!
Once established, Dischidia Pectenoides Variegata requires little maintenance beyond regular watering during dry periods and once-a-month fertilization during its growing season (from April through September). Also, add mulch around its base every year once spring has passed so that moisture will stay near the roots instead of evaporating away from them faster than necessary. This is especially important if you live somewhere where summers get pretty hot!
Lily of the Valley (Convallaria Majalis)
Lily of the valley (Convallaria Majalis) is a perennial that can grow up to 6 feet tall. It has white flowers and thrives in shade or partial shade. You will want to plant this herbaceous plant in moist soil, as it does not tolerate drought. It is also known as the May lily.
There are several lily species in the valley, but Convallaria Majalis is the most common in North America. It grows in cool, moist areas, including shady forests and under trees. It’s also a common garden plant, grown for its small, bell-shaped flowers. The leaves are dark green and heart-shaped with a smooth margin.

Twenty-six years ago Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire (STCB) began monitoring the status of, and the threats to, Bonaire’s endangered and critically endangered sea turtles, using the resulting knowledge to protect them. Comprehensive local laws, as well as international treaties, now protect Bonaire’s sea turtles, their nests, and eggs from harvest and harassment. Today, the main threats to sea turtles are indirect; related to a rapidly increasing human population and the development that goes along with it. We no longer look at sea turtle conservation as a thing apart from society. To ensure a secure future for Bonaire’s sea turtles, we must address the issues that threaten sea turtles, biodiversity and social well-being, because they are inter-related. Sea turtles can only thrive when their ecosystems are healthy and the human community thrives.
STCB is a non-profit, non-governmental organization and all funds raised from the Fundraising Auction will benefit STCB programs to protect endangered sea turtles. For more details please visit our main website www.bonaireturtles.org. | [

A recent talk by Petrine Day Mitchum, co-author of Hollywood Hoofbeats, revealed some fun facts about one of the most famous movie horses of all time. Trigger was the equine sidekick of singing cowboy Roy Rogers. The iconic pair graced screens both big and small in the 1940s and 50s and share a sidewalk square with their prints side by side in the cement outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Here are a few things to know about Trigger:
- Trigger’s original name was “Golden Cloud.”
- Trigger was a registered palomino. His sire was a Thoroughbred and his dam believed to be a Quarter Horse mix.
- Trigger was a stallion, but he was never bred. Rogers was afraid that the horse would find that occupation more interesting than movie work!
- Trigger had some backup help for dangerous stunts, as well as personal appearances. Famous doubles for golden horse included Little Trigger, a Morgan identifiable by his four white stockings and slightly narrower blaze. Trigger Jr., a Tennessee Walking Horse registered as Golden Zephyr, also had four white stockings and a blaze. (The original Trigger has one sock on his left hind, and a wide blaze.)
- Roy Rogers was known as the “King of the Cowboys;” Trigger was billed as “The Smartest Horse in the Movies” for his repertoire of tricks, including his signature vertical rear. Famed Hollywood horseman Glenn Randall was his trainer.
Trigger died in 1964 at the age of 33. He was preserved and remained on display for fans at the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum for many years. After the museum closed in 2009, the stuffed and mounted Trigger was auctioned off and sold to RFD-TV for $266,500.
Find out more about Trigger and other big-screen equine stars—from the silent movie era to the new millennium—in the updated edition of Hollywood Hoofbeats, by Petrine Day Mitchum with Audrey Pavia (Lumina Press). | [

Universal's rush to get a new Bourne movie ready has taken a new twist - writer Josh Zetumer has been hired to write a parallel draft of the script.
What does this mean for George Nolfi's take? Not much - yet. The Ultimatum writer has been cranking out his own first draft, but has to take time off to work on writing and directing The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon.
Since he's kicking off shooting in September, he can't devote time to Bourne, so Universal wants Zetumer to develop his own screenplay so that the film can be ready to shoot for a 2011 release.
It might end up that Zetumer - who has worked on Dune for Peter Berg - takes sole credit, or that parts of his script could be blended with Nolfi's when/if he comes back to the film after make Bureau.
It's not the first time this has happened - Wolverine's script was a hybrid, as was Fantastic Four: The Rise Of The Silver Surfer.
Those two titles don't exactly give us hope that it works out, though.
Whatever happens, Universal is clearly shoving Bourne along as fast as possible. Let's hope it works...

[T]he City of Denver is the capital and most populous municipality of the U.S. state of Colorado. As of 2014, Denver is also the most populous county in Colorado. Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.
The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 12 mi (19 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5,280 ft or 1,610 m) above sea level, making it one of the highest major cities in the United States. The 105th meridian west of Greenwich, the longitudinal reference for the Mountain Time Zone, passes directly through Denver Union Station.
Denver is ranked as a Beta- world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. With a 2014 estimated population of 663,862, Denver ranks as the 21st-most populous U.S. city. The 10-county Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2013 population of 2,697,476 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area. The 12-city Denver-Aurora, CO Combined Statistical Area had an estimated 2013 population of 3,277,309, which ranks as the 16th most populous U.S. metropolitan area.

Doris Baumgarten tells the story of how her husband, Peter, and his family escaped Vienna in 1939 after the Nazi occupation of Austria. Peter and his brother, Hans, left on the Kindertransport and were taken in at a boarding school in Bournemouth, England. Their mother worked in London as a maid, but was able to join her boys in Bournemouth when the school hired her to clean their facilities. Their father was in Sweden during the German annexation and was unable to return to Vienna because of an invalid passport. Instead, he made his way to New York, arriving in the United States a year before his wife and children.
Max and Trude Schönthal Heller discuss growing up in Vienna, Austria, in the 1920s and ’30s, and the hardships and losses their families experienced as a result of the Anschluss, the German invasion of Austria in 1938. They describe how they and their family members escaped Austria and made their separate ways to the United States. Max, by chance, had met Mary Mills of Greenville, South Carolina, while she was visiting Vienna in 1937. He appealed to her for help in leaving Austria. Mary contacted Shep Saltzman, a Jewish man who owned a shirt factory in Greenville, and he sponsored Max’s immigration and gave him a job. Max and Trude, who met at a summer resort in Austria in 1937, married in the United States in 1942, and Trude joined Max in Greenville, where they raised their three children. Max served on Greenville’s city council from 1969-1971, and then was elected mayor for two terms, during which he spearheaded a major revitalization of the city’s downtown. | [

You could possibly have heard of some diesel truck or pickup truck whose engine "ran" and only stopped once the diesel was gone. It truly is no exaggeration, no mechanic story (the gearhead model of fisherman's story, you realize...). That type of matter transpires. The engine begins to accelerate abruptly and will not quit any longer. The moment a Detroit Diesel engine getting turned on immediately after 30 years stopped.
Scary, just isn't it? It really is as though it were a monster that awakens furiously from its sleep, able to destroy individuals that dared to bother him.
The gasoline engine uses a throttle controlled throttle valve to control the volume of air and consequently the volume of fuel to regulate the engine speed. In diesel engines the principle is relatively different: there is no butterfly valve, plus the engine speed is controlled by the variation of fuel injected in to the cylinders. The diesel engine accelerator acts on an injection pump that regulates the volume of diesel to be sent for the engine.
Diesel isn't going to use spark plugs for combustion - its ignition is by injecting the fuel to the compressed air and heating the cylinders. As a result, when the diesel starts to be injected in to the cylinders without having pressure or volume regulation, the engine can accelerate uncontrollably. This involuntary and uncontrolled acceleration is called "diesel runaway", also known as "engine fired" in Brazil. But how does this occur? In lots of other ways, as we shall see under. For a lot more data go to http://superandobarreiraspeloempreendedorismo.webgarden.com/section-1/about-us/did-you-know-that-a-diesel-10
Within the initially situation, in more worn engines, in which there is clearance in between the pistons and the cylinder walls, the combustion gases can pass by the sides on the pistons and into the crankcase and carry oil mist into the inlet. Since the lubricating oil has combustion properties much like that of diesel, the engine accelerates with this added fuel injection. The larger the engine pace, the higher the volume of oil mist forced by the crankcase breather, causing an engine electrical power cycle which will cause the complete consumption with the lubricating oil and consequent breakage - normally an explosion like this:
This cyclic lubricating oil feed also can occur for those who place too a lot lubricating oil inside the engine - that is why the manuals are emphatic: never add a lot more oil than proposed. This is because in place of steam or mist of oil, who can climb via the breather is the lubricating oil itself, which can result in the identical "firing" in the engine.
Essentially the most common scenario, even so, is what we see during the video above: a failure or misadjustment from the injection pump or even the accelerator. From the video situation, the guy was apparently adjusting the injection pump level when a little something went incorrect plus the fuel movement was no longer managed by the aspect, feeding the engine as if the throttle was thoroughly depressed. Increasing the engine velocity triggers the oil to begin to rise by way of the vents, maintaining the engine running as in other circumstances. For extra information go to http://superandobarreiraspeloempreendedorismo.webgarden.com/section-1/about-us/did-you-know-that-a-diesel-10
When realizing that his Detroit Diesel fired, the man takes a brave as harmful frame of mind. He picks up a piece of rubber or tarp and tries to manage the sole thing that is definitely inside of attain: the intake of engine air, causing the machine to drown. From the method he could have misplaced his fingers, but thankfully he just broke the blades on the turbine.
If you're wondering why he didn't get into the cockpit and turned off the engine, that is why diesel engines, as we have stated prior to, have no spark to ignite. The engine is shut down from the fuel shut-off. As the part responsible for cutting the fuel had broken in his hand, the sole option was to drown the engine. Even so the process is unsafe: the engine can actually explode based about the speed and quantity of fuel, and you also do not have to implement your imagination to understand what occurs when an engine filled with oil and scorching iron explodes.
Currently, with electronically managed diesel engines this can be harder to come by, in particular because contemporary engines have safety methods for closing the intake, which triggers engine drowning. This also displays the significance of performing the right servicing procedures and checking the issue of your elements ahead of attempting to commission them.

The high point of a rather miserable day was being “rescued” in her car. Kaylee’d had one challenge after another thrust at her, and she was glad to be finally going home when a madman attacks her truck and whisks her out.
While escaping from the evil Gerand, Malcolm, who was a Knight of the Living Five, had inexplicably been sent with his two children into the future. After rescuing a damsel in distress, the three of them go with Kaylee to her home where he plans to protect her from the others who have been sent forward by Gerand.
Malcolm knows that he does not belong here. The roads are solid, people ride inside beasts, and it is his duty to return to the past to dispose of Gerand and his men.
I simply loved reading A KNIGHT’S WISH and absolutely did not want to be interrupted while reading it. Watching Malcolm and his children adapt to this time period was entertaining, particularly Malcolm’s opinion of vehicles. This was a fast-paced pleasure of a read, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys time travel, a dash of medieval, some paranormal, and a little comedy all set in a contemporary romance.

Compare the s- and r-processes in stellar nucleosynthesis in terms of rate, number of neutrons absorbed, and types of isotopes formed.
In the s-process, a nucleus captures a neutron sometime over a long period of time. Then the nucleus emits a beta particle to form another element. The stable isotopes of most heavy elements up to 209Bi form by the s-process. The r-process very quickly forms less stable isotopes and those with. A greater than 230 by multiple neutron captures, followed by multiple beta decays. | [

With one of the most contemporary designs and layouts of the online casinos we recommend, Betway is certainly an eye-catching site, although that isn’t its main attraction. The Betway bonus is well designed for slots players, with a three-tier deposit match bonus of just over 44% that is potentially worth $1000. The range of Microgaming slots is also extensive, with all categories of games represented, and there is a competitive slots payout percentage of 95.79%.
New players at Betway can earn a sign up bonus that is worth up to $1000 on their first three deposits.
- 1st deposit—100% match, up to $250 (minimum deposit $20)
- 2nd deposit—25% match, up to $250 (minimum deposit $20)
- 3rd deposit—50% match, up to $500 (minimum deposit $20)
Therefore, three deposits worth $2250 attract an additional $1000, making a Betway bonus balance of $3250, an overall deposit match of more than 44% (provided all three deposits are made within 7 days of creating your new account). A match of this size is good value for Canadian players and we would rank it amongst the most competitive of the online casinos that we review here.
In order to claim your welcome bonuses, when you make a deposit ensure that you go the Claim Bonus section in banking. Here, you may be prompted to enter the Betway bonus code you received on signing up; do the same when you make your second and third deposits as well.
Although the deposit match is high at almost 44%, so is the playthrough requirement of 50x before you can make a Betway bonus withdrawal. However, with online slots contributing to this 1:1, there is still good value to be had, even though table games make a more negligible contribution:
- 100%—online slots and parlour games
- 8%—blackjack (except classic), roulette, video poker (except All Aces and JoB), table poker
- all other games (including classic blackjack, All Aces and JoB video poker)
Considering all the elements of this sign up offer, the overall match of 44% on your first three deposits represents good value, despite the higher than average 50x wagering requirement, as slots go towards this 100%. We recommend this welcome bonus as one that is well suited to the dedicated slots player, but it’s not going to be ideal for the occasional player, the player who is not interested in developing their bankroll, or the player who also enjoys a lot of different table games or video poker.
Slots players have plenty of choice at the Betway Casino site, with more than 400 Microgaming games to choose from. As a site catering almost exclusively for slots players, this means that all categories of game are available, and can be played either via the free casino download or in Flash mode (Instant Play) with no download required. (Players who want to play table games should go instead to Betway Vegas, where there is a far greater range.)
old school fruit machines and classic 3 reel slots
- latest release video slots, including Avalon II, Jurassic Park and Terminator II
- popular and well-known Microgaming titles, such as Lord Of The Rings, Thunderstruck (I and II), Immortal Romance, Gold Factory, Hitman, Hellboy and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
- progressive jackpot slots, such as The Dark Knight, Major Millions, Mega Moolah, Treasure Nile, and Cash Splash
Although the range of table games is limited, players can nevertheless enjoy two varieties of roulette (American and multi-wheel), three variations of blackjack (classic, Atlantic City and European), and video poker, including Deuces Wild, JoB and Aces & Eights.
Betway also run sports book, poker room and bingo room sites, all of which can be accessed from Betway Casino. The same account and log in details can be used across all of these sites.
Player using iOS or Android mobile devices can choose either to play via specialist apps (downloaded from iTunes or Google Play) or directly in the browser of their device. Using either platform, players can manage their accounts using the same log in and account details, meaning switching between desktop, phone and tablet is very straightforward. Player receive notifications about promotions and special offers via SMS and email.
For new players who sign up for a Betway account in the mobile casino, the same welcome offer of a match on your first three deposits is available, and can be claimed in the banking pages once you have made each of them.
There are more than 40 mobile slots to choose from in the app version of the mobile casino, with a combination of popular titles such as | [

November 2022 sales numbers in the United States are in, and there is some good news for the new Toyota Tundra. Toyota’s redesigned full-size pickup truck is now entering its second year on the market, and the sales are once again over 10,000 trucks per month. This truck is produced in San Antonio, Texas. The Year-to-Date Tundra sales numbers are also better than in 2021.
The same cannot be said for the Ford F-series trucks. This includes the F-150 and the Super Duty pickup trucks. The F-Series nameplate may still be sales-leading in the country, but the numbers are significantly down when compared to last year.
The F-150 Lightning sales continue to add up. These numbers are not huge yet, but Ford sold 13,258 all-electric pickup trucks so far this year. F-150 Lightning sales began in May 2022.
GM, Nissan, and Rivian have not reported sales numbers for November. Most companies are reporting sales on a quarterly basis.

How to enhance Concrete Pump transmission capacity
In this worldwide boom in construction, construction machinery and is the object of concern to many people, how to purchase good quality construction machinery, has become a topic of verbal, concrete pumps played an irreplaceable role in modern high-rise building construction in high-rise construction, concrete pump machinery if manpower to do this, the efficiency is too low, the cost is high, after using machinery instead of manpower, (pump concrete mixer)can easily be sent to the heavy concrete construction location, greatly accelerated the construction period schedule. Here, the small series to introduce you to some construction on super-tall concrete pump some common problems.
High-rise building under construction, when it is accompanied by concrete pump devices add a lot of pressure within the pipeline is also rising. In the construction of the vertical height of 400 meters above the high-rise building when high strength concrete used, due to the viscosity, leading to concrete pump outlet pressure of 20 MPa or more often require pumping hard, the construction technology problem. (concrete pump with mixer)And will EHV pumping high-strength concrete because the concrete pressure is too high, easy to produce leakage or concrete segregation, plugging and other problems, to overcome this problem, the need to improve the reliability of the equipment, and to enhance the pumping device ability to seal pipes, pumping construction process, the construction pipeline cleaning and a series of technical problems.
concrete pump super high-rise construction, one cloth reasonable construction problems caused by pipe to reduce the weight of the concrete caused by pressure, and. Second, it has a reasonable mix concrete to improve concrete pumpability, reduce equipment stress.(hydraulic pump concrete mixer) Third, after the construction of ultra-high pressure water technology to control the pressure, the residue avoid plugging. Specific operational issues need to master the condition of workers, combined with the construction environment to operate, can not be scripted, so as not to damage the improper operation of the device. | [

With the pandemic driving online shopping to record highs, pressure on the supply chain remains intense. As a result, many carriers are double-decking their trailers with Kinedyne Kaptive Beam systems so they can safely carry twice the cargo per load.
A new navigation solution can pick the best route based on road conditions-while still maximizing load profitability via a mile/toll threshold based on your actual business numbers.

Fleets spend a significant amount of money on tires for their tractors and trailers between the initial purchase price of the tires themselves and the cost of retreading those tires. Tires also are a major contributor to the fuel efficiency of a truck. And tires can cause issues for fleet managers as it is estimated that tire problems account for 50% of roadside breakdowns.February 15, 2021Sponsored Content | [

Seriously, what is it with the Kardashian women and their affinity for choosing jackasses as partners?
A few months ago, when Kanye West was having his usual outburst of verbal diarrhea, he made this statement on the subject of slavery:
“When you hear about slavery for 400 years — for 400 years?! That sounds like a choice. Like you was there for 400 years, and it’s all of y’all? It’s like, we’re mentally imprisoned.”
This statement caused significant outrage and there was quite the kerfuffle throughout the Internet. I think it’s safe to assume that Kanye is not the thinking before speaking type. There doesn’t seem to be any funnel between his brain and his mouth (yes, I know the man has an actual mental illness, but if he is still willfully not doing anything about it, he’s still a dickhead).
However, Kim Kardashian now insists that her husband didn’t really say that, or he may have said something, but that wasn’t what he meant. She had this to say in an interview with TMZ Live.
“Kanye’s slavery comment, he never said that. That was just the headline. If you listen to what he said, he said ‘slavery was 400 years. If it’s going to be another 400 years, that sounds like a choice to me.’ He didn’t say ‘slavery is a choice.’ He was saying if you’re going to still be enslaved for another 400 years, then that’s some bullshit.”
That…that makes no sense whatsoever. Kim, I know you’re trying to stand by your man, but the only bullshit I’m smelling right now is your piss-poor excuse for your husband’s idiotic comments.
Kim continued to try and feebly explain Kanye’s dumbass behavior:
“When he gets ramped up, he can’t control what he says, he can’t let it go. He loves being ramped up. He’s like ‘I feel powerful when I’m ramped up. I don’t want to be so suppressed. Yeah, I say crazy shit but I’ve always said crazy shit. That’s why I’m Kanye.’”
Kim, you just described the average two-year-old child. “He can’t control what he says.” “He loves being ramped up.” “He doesn’t want to be suppressed.” Yeah, this is how toddlers act when they’re still learning how to be human beings. This is not the behavior you should find acceptable in a 41-year-old man. And you should recognize this behavior because you have three small children at home! Well, actually, scratch that. As long as Kanye is off his meds, you will have four small children.
The post Kim Kardashian Makes Pitiful Excuses for Kanye West’s Shitty Slavery is a Choice Comments appeared first on The Blemish.
Kanye West knew what he was getting into when he married Kim Kardashian.
Or so he thought, at least.
The rapper knew that his wife had become famous for her plowing of Ray J on camera, as the former couple had collaborated on a sex tape titled Kim Kardashian Superstar that banked them both millions.
Indeed, Kanye was familiar with this tape.
So was most of the American public.
But a new Kim Kardashian-Ray J video emerged this week -- and multiple insiders have confirmed that it's thrown West for quite a loop.
The dude is really pissed off.
You've likely heard about it at this point, right?
Radar Online obtained footage filmed at some point during Ray J and Kim's courtship, which lasted from approximately 2003 through 2006.
The raunchy tape features Kim sucking on a penis-shaped bong that is placed between Ray's legs, while also taking a hit of marijuana straight from her then-lover's mouth.
You can click HERE to read more about it and to find a link to the video.
It's from well over a decade ago, but Kanye was apparently unaware it existed; and no one wants to be reminded that his or her spouse had wild and fun times with someone else, you know?
“Kanye is not happy about the latest Kim and Ray J tape," a source tells Hollyoow Life, adding:
"Kanye is furious, has a bunch questions about the penis pipe tape and feels pretty sure Ray J is behind the latest leak."
Wow. That has to be the case, doesn't it?
Ray J was pissed a few days ago that Kim said during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that she | [

The Merbians are the aquatic parallels to the Mobians. There are two Merbian kingdoms on Mobius; one in the Northern Great Sea, which is ruled by King Basileus and Queen Nausicaa, and one in the Southern Great Sea, which is ruled by King Munichus and Queen Laodice.
The Merbians resemble Mobian-Mermaid hybrids; however, Merbians do have legs. They are covered by scales; none of them have fur. They have fins extending from various parts of their bodies (most commonly the back, forearms and head), varying styles of fins extending from their heads like hair, and catfish-esque whiskers of varying length and amount.
They are typically colored with shades of blue and green, with other colors occasionally thrown in. Their hands and feet are webbed, and there are many different styles of tail, ranging from long and thick to very small, with a greatly extended caudal fin of varying shape and form. Their legs are also reverse-jointed.
In terms of clothing, they wear very little, and almost never wear shoes (although soldiers will sometimes wear greaves of some sort). Any clothing is often made of woven seaweed. They wear shells and corals as accessories, and also use them for tools and weapons. Their bodies are almost always adorned with tattoos.
It's also worth noting that Merbians who are already of a piscine species (such as Patrick the Leatherjacket or Crotus the Eel) typically don't have "Mer" in front of their species name. There also do not seem to be any Merbian avians, but some Merbian insects exist; they tend to be very rare, however.
Life of Peace
Long ago, the two Kingdoms lived in peace with each other and their underwater world, trading goods and gossip back and forth. Art and culture flourished in both Kingdoms, with different styles developing between the two.
Rise of The Water God
An Age of Oppression
The Merbians used to be a secretive people that revered the arts. They kept to themselves, and rarely fought; soldiers existed primarily as defense against hostile sea-creatures. All that changed for the Northern Kingdom when Aegaeon took over; those capable of fighting were taken to be part of his military and enforce his law.
The Northern Kingdom typically worships Tiamat, while the Southern Kingdom worships Akheilos. Both kingdoms collectively worship Neso, Ryujin, Mizuchi, Kyogre, Lugia, Suicine and Keldeo.
- Tiamat - The primary deity of the Northern Kingdom.
- Akheilos - The primary deity of the Southern Kingdom.
- Ryujin -
- Mizuchi -
- Neso -
- Kyogre -
- Lugia -
- Suicune -
Just a myth?
Those above the surface know so little about the Merbian people that they are often considered to be nothing more than a fairy tale, similar to mermaids in the real world.
Many of them have Greek names.
- King Basileus the Mer-Stoat - Male; late king of the Northern Merbian Kingdom, and husband of Queen Nausicaa. He was publicly executed by Arkham the Spiteful.
- Queen Nausicaa the Mer-Stoat - Female; queen of the Northern Merbian Kingdom, and wife of King Basileus.
- Josephus the Mer-Lynx - Male; a famous philosopher from long ago, now deceased.
- Gorgophone the Mer-Cat - Female; a renowned hunter of deadly sea-creatures.
- Atreus the Mer-Otter - Female; a civilian of the Northern Kingdom who becomes an important character during the events of Resurgence.
- Bienor the Mer-Gecko - Male; formerly one of King Basileus and Queen Nausicaa's personal guards, now forced to serve Aegaeon.
- Calligenia the Jellyfish - Female; formerly one of King Basileus and Queen Nausicaa's personal guards, now forced to serve Aegaeon.
- Prolochus the Seahorse - Male; formerly one of King Basileus and Queen Nausicaa's personal guards, now forced to serve Aegaeon.
- King Munichus the Mer-Hog - Male; king of the Southern Merbian Kingdom, husband of Queen Laodice and father of Princess Thalia.
- Queen Laodice the Mer-Cupine - Female; queen of the Southern Merbian Kingdom, wife of King Munichus and mother of Princess Thalia.
- Princess Thalia the Mer-Hog - Female; princess of the Southern Merbian Kingdom, and the daughter of King Munichus and Queen Laodice | [

We're warming up the next couple days but we'll also get a good dose of wind. Low pressure moving into north Texas will produce a tight pressure gradient causing southerly winds to increase Wednesday with strong gusts ahead of a cold front which will move through and shift our winds to the north Thursday. Windy and dry conditions for Thursday will give us an elevated fire risk and outdoor burning is discouraged.
Tonight will be partly cloudy, breezy and mild with lows in the mid to upper 50s inland to the lower 60s coast and southeast winds at 10-18 mph.
Wednesday will be partly cloudy, windy and warm with high temperatures in the lower 80s inland to lower 70s coast. South-southeast winds will increase to 18-28 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. It will stay windy overnight Wednesday with lows in the 60s.
A cold front will move through by mid-morning Thursday but the colder air won't arrive until Thursday night. North to northwesterly winds at 18-28 mph will warm temperatures into the 70s to lower 80s Thursday with low humidity.
We'll cool down Thursday night into the mid 30s inland to lower 40s at the coast Thursday night.
Friday looks mostly sunny and cool with high temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s and breezy northerly winds.
We'll stay cool Saturday, reaching the low to mid 60s with some passing high clouds. Sunday looks warmer, reaching the low 70s. | [

Texting While DrivingGuide To Dangers of Texting When Driving
Thank you for visiting our page on texting while driving where we aim to educate you on the dangers of texting while driving and to provide you with some important texting while driving facts. Texting and driving is not a combination that is recommended to any degree and by doing this you are not only putting your own life at risk but also the lives of those in the car with you and other road users. For those that don’t know we are also going to answer the question ‘what is texting while driving?’.
What is texting while driving?
This question may seem like an obvious one but if you are on this site you may be oblivious to it so we are firstly going to tell you what texting while driving is. The act of texting when driving involves composing, reading, deleting or sending a text message or email on your cell phone or hand held device, while you are driving a motor vehicle. It is a clear and obvious distraction to the road and your ability to drive the motor vehicle in question is severely compromised when you are doing this.
Texting whilst driving is known as ‘distracted driving’, by distracted driving we mean that the driver of a motor vehicle is engaging in an activity that is not fundamental to the operation of the motor vehicle and thus increases the risk of crashing. There are three types of distraction and these are:
- Visual distraction – Taking your eyes off of the road in front of you.
- Cognitive distraction – Taking your mind, or concentration, away from the operation of the vehicle and what is going on outside of it.
- Manual distraction – Taking your hands off of the wheel to do anything other than something that is fundamental to the operation of the motor vehicle such as changing gear.
The most concerning thing about texting while driving is that all three of these distractions take place and this vastly increases the chances of an accident occurring.
There is no real need for texting while driving and if you have to send a text message that urgently then it is not difficult to pull over and do so while the car stationary. By making the conscious decision to send a text message while driving you are purposely putting yourself and other people at risk and the chances of you being involved in a road traffic accident are greatly increased. Do you really want to be the person that is responsible for the death of someone else just because you want to send a text message, no matter how quick it will take, while you are behind the wheel of a motor vehicle?
We are now going to go on to highlight the dangers of texting while driving.
Dangers of texting while driving
To many people, the dangers of texting while driving are obvious but just in case there is any doubt in your mind as to what they might be we have provided you with a clear list below. If you can remember back to when you took your driving lessons and the subsequent test that you would have passed in order to obtain your license, did they say anything you about how it is ok to use a cell phone while you are driving to send text messages? The answer is going to be a unanimous ‘NO’ because to do this is unsafe as it takes your concentration away from the road. Texting while driving is dangerous and every time you do it you take away valuable concentration on the road and control of the vehicle you are driving. Here is a list of the dangers of texting while driving:
- Death or serious injury to you
- Death or serious injury to those in the car with you
- Death or serious injury to other road users
- Death or serious injury to pedestrians
- Damage to your vehicle
- Damage to other vehicles
- Having to face the consequences of getting caught texting whilst driving
Driving a motor vehicle means that you have to react fast in certain situations and if your concentration is not on the road in front of you, but instead on a cell phone because you are texting while driving, then your reaction time is going to be increased. This increase could be the difference between safety and accident and even life and death! You don’t want to get hurt, you don’t want to hurt other people, you don’t want to damage your car, so basically texting while driving is not a smart move as these are texting while driving dangers with every message you send!
The consequences of texting and driving
If you are caught texting and driving at the same time by an officer of the law then there are consequences because in almost every state in America and every country in the world there are strict laws to forbid road users from doing this. The consequences of texting and driving primarily include fines and license suspensions, this varies state by state in America and country by country across the rest of the world.
Of course it is not just the consequences of texting and driving that you should be thinking about, the human cost at stake is what should really be on your mind | [

Jewish Museum exhibit is first to show teen diary found at Auschwitz
On Thursday, Jan. 23, The Jewish Museum Milwaukee opened a new exhibition that centers on the first American appearance of a powerful 112-page diary written by a teenager living the Lodz ghetto in 1943-44.
"The Girl in the Diary: Searching for Rywka from the Lodz Ghetto," organized by the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, Poland, runs through May 17 in Milwaukee. It opened just days before International Holocaust Remembrance Day, observed on Monday, Jan. 27, to help commemorate the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
The diary, kept by Rywka Lipszyc (pronounced "Rivka Lipschitz") – who was born in 1929 – in a school notebook, was discovered by Soviet doctor Zinaida Berezovskaya amid the rubble of the camp crematoria when Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated 75 years ago today.
The book, says Molly Dubin, Jewish Museum Milwaukee curator, is a, "testament of a Jewish girl who lost her siblings and parents, but never lost hope.
"As time passes, there are fewer and fewer remaining Holocaust survivors sharing their first-hand accounts of this critically important time in our history. We have to look to artifacts more and more to give a personal voice to this story, and that's exactly what Rywka's diary does."
More than a half a century after it was found, the diary was sent to the Holocaust Center of Northern California, where a team headed by Dr. Anita Friedman began to research the book and its young author.
Lipszyc survived Auschwitz and was transferred to Gross-Rosen's forced labor camp, Christianstadt. After surviving the death march to Bergen-Belson, she was liberated from that camp in April 1945, and because she was ill, was sent to a hospital, where her cousin believed she died, though no record of her passing exists.
"What happened to Rywka at the end of and following the war is still a mystery," said Dubin. "We're honored and humbled to be the first museum in the United States to share her story and invite people to experience it for themselves."
Lipszyc's journal – now preserved in the Yad Vashem Holocause remembrance center in Jerusalem – is a moving memoir and rare female perspective on the life of a Jewish teenager in the Lodz ghetto during World War II and the Holocaust. It is the centerpiece of the exhibition and excerpts from it are displayed on a large interactive multimedia table.
Rywka's words are expanded upon via commentary from rabbis, historians, doctors and psychologists that adds historical and other context to Lipszyc's entries.
An array of artifacts – including a brooch with a cut-out design of the fence and Jewish quarters sign, a hand-carved wooden box made and used in the Lodz Ghetto, and a pair of baby shoes handmade by children in the Lodz Ghetto – is also on view, alongside striking photographs of the harsh conditions and forced labor of the ghetto.
A series of events related to the exhibition is also scheduled at the museum, including a talk by Rachel Baum, deputy director of the Sam & Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, on Feb. 12; a memoir workshop on March 8; a talk about how to discuss the Holocaust with your children, on April 1; and others.
A complete list of events and more information on the exhibition can be found here.

2020 has been a challenging year for all of us. Many of us are facing increased feelings of anxiety and isolation. Prolonged periods of remote working, challenging sales environments, and an uncertain future can make it difficult to maintain a positive mental state and overall productivity.
By now most of us are aware that looking after our mental health, especially in the high-pressure world of sales, is key to remaining healthy, happy, and successful! But many of us still struggle with understanding what to do when we feel stressed, anxious, or what it means to be depressed. How can we achieve the right balance between striving for success and taking a break before we burnout?
With this in mind, we came up with a checklist of 7 tips to help you look after your mental health and stay motivated whilst working in remote sales.
1. Listen to Your Body to Stay in Touch with the Mind
Some people are very good at staying in tune with their body and what it might be signaling to them...others struggle more with it. But in this uncertain time, it is important to learn how to listen to your body and find some sense of stability from within.
Hear me out.
If you can observe physical signs of stress or mental strain you will be better equipped to pinpoint periods of stress and anxiety. Be aware of:
😴 periods of insomnia,
🤢 stomach upset like bloating,
😑 chest pain,
😬 teeth grinding and other signs that can signal underlying emotional stress.
Once you can spot these take a step back and start to address the emotions you are experiencing, acknowledge them, and whatever you do don’t push them under. From here you can start to take the first steps to deal with your emotions, for some it might be as simple as a workout or mediation, for others, it may be more serious like looking into workload, work environment, or professional help.
“Just this today. Sales is hard enough. Take a moment to breathe, then tackle that next task. The looser and calmer you are the better you will sell.” Keven “KD” Dorsey, Sales Leader
If you’re looking for a simple first step try mediation apps like Calm, Headspace, or free workouts by fitness YouTubers
2. Take Breaks and Switch Off
We all need a break sometimes, and regular breaks should be part of your regular routine! Increased working from home means that the line between work life and private life has become increasingly blurred and the temptation to check your emails out of office hours has become a normality given that the office has transitioned into the home. Even before the pandemic, 74% of sales professionals agreed that they felt that they were on call 24X7 and must respond to customers immediately or risk impacting the relationship.
Learning to schedule regular breaks and taking time away from your LinkedIn account (especially on the weekends or in the period before bed) can actually give you a better perspective on your tasks and increase productivity! Try working in 45-minute shifts and taking 15-minute breaks before focusing down on your calls again.
3. Keep Up With Your Team
Make sure to keep up with your team and maintain relationships at work. Whether you work remotely or not, having a positive team around you and being there to socialize with colleagues can make your time at work more meaningful.
Work on starting virtual coffee catch-ups or check-in with colleagues from time to time. Sales can seem like a competitive environment but think about working collaboratively. Share tips and tricks, experiences and learnings, or summaries from meetings that went well, in order to foster a positive work and learning environment where you and others feel supported and less isolated when working remotely.
4. Use Technology to Stress Less and Achieve More
A 2019 Uncrushed study found that 57% of sales professionals said that their workload is in excess of their capacity. But what does that mean? That you are trying to do too much! Between prospecting, calls, and sales admin like CRM updates, it is no wonder that many sales reps feel overwhelmed.
Focus on why you got into sales and what you want to achieve, use technology to avoid getting drowned in admin, and get back to enjoying customer conversations and the thrill of sales.
Use an in-call assistant like Ciara, to take notes, sync meeting summaries to CRM, and feel less anxious about upcoming calls or pitches. Having a clear record of what happened in your calls is also great when you need to find mistakes and successes in your customer interactions.
5. Lead by Example and Set Realistic Goals
Calling all sales leaders, setting realistic goals and staying in tune with your team is key to motivating them and helping them maintain a good state of mental wellbeing in these trying times!
“I think there are three keys. First, you must lead with compassion. Don’t just focus on the numbers, but meet with your sellers daily to reass | [

When a hurricane or tropical storm threatens Florida, like Hurricane Idalia this week, team members at Westminster Communities of Florida have a top priority: Ensuring the safety and well-being of the residents we serve. Our Mission is to serve from the heart and inspire older adults to enjoy happy, healthy and purposeful lives.
What impact has Hurricane Idalia had? Some of our dedicated team members are living out our Mission, today, by evacuating with residents or sheltering at their communities through the storm. Regardless of their normal jobs, their principal responsibility right now is to provide for the residents’ needs.
Today we caught up with five of these team members to learn about their experiences, why they chose to stay at their community or evacuate with residents, and what is inspiring them to stay hard at work during a storm.
Jackie Walker Ellison, Cook, Westminster Shores, temporarily at Westminster Winter Park
In St. Petersburg, Westminster Shores was forced to relocate residents out of the path of the storm. Jackie Walker Ellison always knew she would be with the residents, from the moment she first heard. “The residents said to me, ‘Jackie, are you coming with us? I know we’ll be OK if you come with us.’ So I had no doubt,” Ellison said. “I knew for sure I would be evacuating, I called my husband and my mother and I told them, ‘I’m going with my residents, I’ll see you whenever.’ ”
The group of 24 residents was accompanied by Ellison to Westminster Winter Park, where they’re enjoying the hospitality of the residents and team members there. The Westminster Shores team is occupied with providing for the needs of the residents during Hurricane Idalia. “I think it brings everyone together as a team,” she said.
Ellison has worked at Westminster Shores for 29 years, and “I love my residents. I wouldn’t have been here so long if I didn’t love this place and my residents. God put us here for a reason,” she said. “Right now, the residents are happy, we’ve been watching movies and playing games, and everything is going smoothly.”
Michele McCann, Assisted Living Activities Coordinator, Westminster Palms, sheltering in place
“I choose to be with the residents during the most emotional time, like a hurricane, because that’s my quality as a caregiver,” said Michele McCann, Assisted Living Activities Coordinator at Westminster Palms. “Challenging times like this bring out the best in people, and I get to see it and share it.”
McCann was sheltering in place at the community in St. Petersburg, along with residents from Westminster Palms and residents from Westminster Point Pleasant in Bradenton. She has lived in Florida for more than 7 years, and has experienced three hurricanes in St. Petersburg so far. McCann said she feels that the way the team bonds, whether through an evacuation or sheltering in place, makes the team stronger. “We are going to come out better on the other side of this! We always do. We are so lucky that we are here, in our home, together, instead of relocating like so many had to. I have come to feel like this is my home, too.”
Carlos Santiago, Maintenance Engineer, Westminster Point Pleasant and Tiffany Mestre, Administrative Assistant, Community Support Services, temporarily at Legacy Pointe at UCF
A group of residents from Westminster Point Pleasant were also with Maintenance Engineer Carlos Santiago and Tiffany Mestre, an administrative assistant at our Community Support Services office in Orlando. The residents had evacuated from Bradenton due to the risk of storm surge and flooding, and were enjoying the hospitality of Legacy Pointe at UCF.
Santiago, the maintenance engineer, said that he had been through the worst in 2017 when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. “We were there with no power for 60 days, and we weren’t able to do anything,” he said. By comparison, he felt that everything was under control and being well maintained for the residents through both of his hurricane experiences as a Westminster team member.
“This job is personal for me,” Santiago said. “The residents are my family and I want to make sure that they are well taken care of.” In 2022, Santiago was recognized as Westminster Point Pleasant’s Team Member of the Year for his dedicated service to the residents. He said it was his honor to serve the residents.
Evacuating with the residents is just another extension of his commitment to the community, Santiago said. “This is my second time evacuating with the residents, and it doesn’t matter how many more. I will always volunteer to be there for them. We are here for each other and for the residents.”
Countless storms had also affected Mestre, a Florida native. But she had never had an experience like today’s | [

Islamabad, 1st June: There is a strong possibility that the former chief secretary will be brought back to his post due to his performance.
In Punjab, despite the tireless efforts of Chief Minister Usman Buzdar to promote the vision of the Prime Minister and make it successful, the bureaucracy continues to create obstacles.
According to sources, the bureaucracy is reluctant to work on the line of Chief Minister Buzdar despite the changes in the Chief Secretary Punjab in a short time.
Sources said that the current Commerce Secretary Yousuf Naseem Khokhar was the Chief Secretary Punjab, so he not only had the confidence of both the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister, but he played an important role in conveying the fruits of Chief Minister Buzdar’s initiatives to the people as per the Prime Minister’s vision.
With the collaboration of the Chief Minister and the Chief Secretary, Punjab has seen significant improvements in various areas, including health, law and order, agriculture and education.
Sources said that Chief Minister Buzdar, who has saved the party and allies in the province from splitting into several factions, has a strong possibility of re-appointing Yousuf Naseem Khokhar as Chief Secretary to further improve performance and control unbridled bureaucracy.

1,3-Dinitrobenzene Usage And Synthesis
- Description1,3-Dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB) is an impurity present in the manufacture of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. Workers in munitions plants are at risk of exposure. While it does not bioaccumulate, it persists in the environments (air, water, and soil) with slow rates of degradation. Metabolism in animals (rabbits) results in reduction of the nitro functionalities to amine functionalities to produce 2,4-diaminophenol, m-nitroaniline, m-phenylenediamine, and 2-amino-4-nitrophenol. Human exposure is generally dermal contact or inhalation of vapor.
- Chemical Propertiesorange to yellow crystalline powder
- UsesOrganic synthesis; dyes.
- UsesDinitrobenzene (as a mixture of 1,2-dinitro- 1,3-dinitro- and 1,4-dinitro-isomers) is used in the manufacture of dyes and explosives, and in organic syntheses.
- DefinitionChEBI: A dinitrobenzene that is benzene disubstituted at positions 1 and 3 with nitro groups.
- Synthesis Reference(s)The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 38, p. 4243, 1973 DOI: 10.1021/jo00964a007
Synthesis, p. 1085, 1992 DOI: 10.1055/s-1992-26309
- General DescriptionYellow solid with a slight odor. Sinks in water.
- Air & Water ReactionsSlowly mixes with water.
- Reactivity ProfileAll three isomers have similar properties and may react vigorously with oxidizing materials. Their reaction with nitric acid (nitration) will lead to a mixture of trinitrobenzenes possessing high-explosive properties [Urbanski, 1967, vol. 3, p. 290]. If heat and reaction conditions of the nitration are not controlled, detonation comparable to TNT may occur [Anon., J. R. Inst. Chem., 1960, 84, p. 451]. Mixture of 1,3-dinitrobenzene with tetranitromethane was found highly explosive [Urbanski, 1964, vol. 1, 592]. 1,2-dinitrobenzene is a severe explosion hazard when shocked or exposed to heat or flame.
