The 2017 RAV4 urges drivers to venture beyond their comfort zones with a bold front end, side lower exterior panels, and a chiseled appearance. The ultimate package is both athletic and daring, encouraging you to take your next adventure.
Integrated fog lights and available LED lighting across the headlights, taillights, and Daytime Running Lights (DLRs) let you see and be seen. The road ahead is that much brighter with a RAV4.
The RAV4 dedicates itself to design details to ensure an overall masterpiece. With S-Code paint, the SE enjoys silver-painted accents across the front and rear bumpers, side lower trim and fenders. The RAV4 possesses head-turning style.

Risk assessment of elemental impurities became mandatory for new marketing authorisation applications of human drug products in June 2016 and for human drug products already in the market in December 2017, when the ICH Q3D guideline was implemented. The revised European Pharmacopoeia General Monograph Pharmaceutical preparations (2619), which came into effect in January 2018, requires that manufacturers control the elemental impurities of pharmaceutical products by using a risk management approach.
However, the approach based on permitted daily exposure (PDE) presented in ICH Q3D and the European Pharmacopoeia General Chapter 5.20 cannot be easily applied to veterinary medicinal products and consequently, veterinary medicinal products have so far been outside the scope of the guideline and the European Pharmacopoeia General Chapter, but this is about to change in the next few years.
Now the CVMP has adopted a phased-in implementation approach as regards the implementation of the monograph to existing veterinary products in order to allow time for regulators to elaborate the guidance on the appropriate approach for risk assessment. The phased implementation approach applies to all veterinary medicinal products, with the exception of veterinary herbal products, radiopharmaceuticals and immunological products.
What is expected of you as an MAH of veterinary medicinal products and when?
The risk assessment of elemental impurities has to demonstrate that the veterinary medicinal product complies with the European Pharmacopoeia General Monograph (2619). In the risk assessment, known and potential elemental impurities and their sources are identified and evaluated, quantity of each detected or estimated impurity is evaluated and compared with the established PDE, and the risk assessment is then summarised and documented. The summary document includes the identification of the elemental impurities, their sources, comparison of the quantity of each detected or estimated impurity to the established permitted daily exposure (PDE) limits, and the evaluation of controls and acceptance criteria. However, this does not necessarily lead to routine testing of elemental impurities from veterinary medicinal products, as compliance can be demonstrated with a risk-based approach and by supply-chain control.
Risk assessments do not need to be submitted via variations, and the current control strategies are considered acceptable until a risk assessment is required. Please note, that the expected timetable for risk assessments depends on the status of the marketing authorisation of your product. By 2023, a full risk assessment should be available for all products for veterinary use that will be on the European Union market.
If you have any questions or if you need support for the risk assessment of elemental impurities, Medfiles is happy to help. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information!

Kishore took to social media a short while ago to clarify why his account was suspended
Last Updated: 01.19 PM, Jan 04, 2023
Not very long ago, the internet seemed smitten with the fact that well-known actor Kishore Kumar G's Twitter account was suspended due to a violation of certain rules. While most reports in this regard refrained from mentioning the exact reason, stating that the cause for suspension remains unclear, it was assumed by many that it was because of Kishore's political statements that brought his account down.
However, OTTplay learned from the actor himself yesterday that, quite in fact, his Twitter handle faced suspension not because of his supposedly controversial views but because of hacking. And about 24 hours later, Kishore confirms with a clarification that his account, indeed, was hacked back in December of 2022 and that Twitter has promised necessary action at the earliest.
"Just to avoid unnecessary misconceptions about the suspension of my Twitter account. My Twitter account was not suspended because of any of my posts. I have come to know that it was because of Hacking on December 20, 2022. Twitter has promised necessary action. Thanking everyone for their concern," wrote Kishore via his Instagram handle.
While speaking to OTTplay about the confusion, Kishore shared that although he wasn't certain why his account was suspended, it did not surprise him the least that something along those lines took place. Despite being a highly sought-after actor, Kishore has used his position as a public personality only to voice dissent and share his fierce opinions on social and political matters - the actor recently spoke up against the superstitions and frenzy that his film Kantara was surrounded by, lamenting that one must spread hatred in the name of faith.
Over the past two decades, Kishore has made a name for himself as a most reliable and skilled actor and as a result, he has had the rare opportunity of working across industries. From Vetrimaaran, Mani Ratnam to Raj & DK, Kishore has collaborated with some of the biggest names in Indian cinema. He is likely to reprise his role as Forest Officer Muralidhar in Kantara 2. | [

As a homeowner, you’ve likely heard how important indoor air quality is to the overall health of you and your loved ones. But beyond maintaining your air conditioning system, opting for natural cleaning products and avoiding the use of aerosols indoors, how else can you ensure the air in your home is clean and safe? Two words: duct cleaning.
Duct cleaning is a service provided by certain air conditioning system technicians that works to clean the air ducts within the walls of your home. In doing so, the ducts are rid of dander, dirt, dust and the like, which can reduce the amount of pollutants in your home. So, is duct cleaning really worth it? Read on to learn everything you need to know.
What Do Air Ducts Do Anyway?
Within the walls of your home is a series of ducts, known as your air conditioning system’s ductwork. This ductwork doesn’t typically get the credit it deserves considering it’s out of sight and out of mind. However, your ductwork is how cooled or heated air is dispersed throughout the rooms of your home. Without ductwork, this wouldn’t be possible.
Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning
Air duct cleaning touts numerous benefits, but these are the biggest two:
1. Better Indoor Air Quality
Air duct cleaning helps improve the quality of the air inside of your home, which is important considering we spend the majority of our time here. Over time, dander, dust and the like accumulate within the ductwork in your home. As your air conditioning system cycles on, these pollutants are stirred up and forced out of ductwork, through the air vents and into the rooms of your home. Without routine ductwork cleaning, the problem will only get worse.
2. Increased Efficiency
When your ductwork is bogged down with particulate matter, it makes it harder for your air conditioning system to run efficiently. The added stress put on your AC shortens your system’s overall lifespan, decreases efficiency and increases your energy bills — no bueno. Routine duct cleaning stops this from happening.
When Should I Have My Air Duct Cleaned?
You should have your air ducts cleaned if:
- There is visible mold growth inside your air ducts, on the air vents, or any other component of your air conditioning system
- You air ducts have or have had any sort of infestation, such as insects or rodents
- Your air ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust that can be seen coming from your air vents
- Your air duct haven’t been cleaned in three to five years
- You’ve recently renovated your home

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to initiate a transformative process by procuring six pre-owned aircraft that will be subsequently converted into aerial tankers. The upcoming tender will be floated within the next six months as per media reports.
HAL’s partnership with IAI, an Israeli company with expertise in aviation technology, will play a pivotal role in the certification and conversion process. Once acquired, the pre-owned aircraft will undergo comprehensive upgrades, receiving new avionics and engines to extend their operational lifespan by 25 to 30 years. With the addition of advanced avionics and engines aircraft will be equipped with military-grade state-of-the-art technology, ensuring the continued effectiveness of its aerial fleet.
HAL will collaborate with a local Indian private sector company specializing in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services to further augment the process. The IAF also has decided to lease a flight refuelling aircraft for five years from the French Air Force, an Airbus A330MRTT, which is a short-term solution that demonstrates the immediate steps being taken to bolster its refuelling capabilities. With its existing fleet of six aerial refuelers and a requirement for an additional six units, the IAF’s focus on aerial refuelling is evident.

Archibald Renwick “Archie” Macaulay was born 30 July 1915.
He was born in Falkirk and played at first with Rangers and then West Ham in the years leading up to the outbreak of war in 1939. During the war he served his country in the Army Physical Training Corps, the Essex Regiment and eventually he became a Physical Training instructor at Aldershot.
After the war he moved to Brentford, and was signed by Arsenal in July 1947 for £10,000, becoming a Scottish international a month later. He was also selected for Great Britain in a match against the rest of Europe.
He played 40 out of 42 games in his first season, as Arsenal won the league mostly at right half but in his third and final season with the club came under pressure for the place from Alex Forbes.
Of him, during his time at Arsenal, Tom Whittaker said, “Macaulay was a brilliant ball player and magnificently balanced, had the reputation of a temper in keeping with his red hair, but while he was at Highbury he was a loyal club servant and a fine footballer.”
In his book Forward Arsenal! published in 1054 Bernard Joy said that “Mercer and Macaulay were the best club pair of wing-halves in the country.”
He moved to Fulham in June 1950, again for £10,000, having played 108 games, and scoring one goal.
After Fulham he went to Guildford City working as player-manager and that led to a career as a manager, first at Norwich where he replaced Tom Parker as manager. Norwich were in the third division and Macaulay took them to an FA Cup semi-final, and promotion to the second division.
He then moved on to manage West Brom. He was sacked at West Brom in 1963 and finally moved to Brighton and Hove Albion. Brighton had been relegated in 1963, but Macaulay took them back to the third division after two seasons, as champions in 1965.
But then, having achieved that promotion with Brighton, at the age of 50 he left football totally. He is reported later to have worked as a traffic warden in Chelsea, dying at the age of 77 on 10 June 1993.
Looking at the basic facts of him leaving football management at 50 having just gained the championship of the fourth division, and then working in such a job, one can’t help but wonder at what happened. He must have been the toast of Brighton, had had managerial success with Norwich, and must surely have had other offers had he had some other reason to leave.
Was this final departure a sign of the “temper in keeping with his red hair” that Whittaker had talked about?
If you know why Archie Macaulay left Brighton at that time, never to return to football again, please do say. | [

Visual resonance, when employed with precision and balance, holds significant sway over the viewer. In “Broken light,” the strategic use of repeated skull shapes, 215 times—serves as a visual metaphor for the contrast between the artwork’s colors and the inevitable end that awaits everything and everyone.
Within the broader context of “I Love my Xe’s,” a solo exhibition by me, this piece stands as a central visual focal point. The exhibition, a pioneering blend of physical and virtual-immersive elements, delves into the complexities of interpersonal relationships, the journey of falling in love, disillusionment, and self-rebuilding.
“Broken light” is not merely an appetizer but a conceptual linchpin for the exhibition spaces. Placed strategically, it guides viewers through a collaborative experience, intertwining with other works through design and colors. Its location at the transition between exhibition parts serves as both a conceptual and visual bridge.
Upon entering the space, viewers confront the imposing “Broken light,” measuring 3.85 meters in width. Its deliberate placement prevents viewers from grasping the entire work in one glance, intensifying the sense of smallness in the face of death, reminiscent of the cathedrals’ impact in the Middle Ages.
Initially evoking feelings of peace and harmony, the vibrant color spectrum gradually gives way to dissonance as viewers realize the skulls’ human origin. This emotional journey explores the impact of color on emotions, particularly within subjects not conventionally associated with color representation.
The decision to craft the skulls through 3D printing raises awareness about the growing role of mass production in our lives, infiltrating even the human body with readily available performance-enhancing products. The presentation of human “production” at life’s final stage critiques the culture of excess consumption and production, hinting at the perilous consequences. The X-shaped eyes on the skulls symbolize death, akin to character demise in comics and animation.
But really colorful and vibrant.
So that for a second we will forget its morbidity and focus on the rainbow.
Despite it all.

|Above: A grounded loon was one of the lucky ones to be rescued by Centre Wildlife Care on December 18, 2019. Image credit: Courtesy Centre Wildlife Care, Port Matilda, Pennsylvania.|
During the morning of December 18, freezing rain produced an icy coating on trees, plants, power lines, and other untreated surfaces over central Pennsylvania.
Freezing rain was not, however, the only “icy precipitation” falling out of the sky on this day. It was also raining migratory loons. For the record, loons are aquatic Arctic birds whose “landing gears” (their feet) are not suited for touching down or taking off from land or small lakes and ponds. Indeed, Centre Wildlife Care, which serves Centre County and surrounding areas, quickly put out an alert to the general public to be on the lookout for helpless, grounded loons. Centre Wildlife Care then responded to the public responsibly reporting grounded loons in the region by taking them in and giving them temporary shelter from the freezing rain.
I’ll have more to say about the inherent danger posed to loons by land and small bodies of water in just a moment. First, I feel compelled to talk about the meteorology that led to the grounding of loons over central Pennsylvania.
The vertical profile of temperature over the region was a classic set-up for freezing rain/drizzle, as the temperature (and dew-point) model sounding over University Park indicated (see below).
As a disclaimer, professional forecasters typically present the vertical temperature structure of the troposphere by using Skew-T Log-P diagrams, but, in order to more easily convey the meteorology of freezing rain to our readers, I decided, instead, to use this rather simple linear plot.
|Figure 1. The GFS model sounding at University Park, PA, at 12 UTC (7 a.m. EST). The lime-green curve corresponds to temperature (expressed in degrees Celsius), while the aqua-blue plot indicates the vertical profile of dew points (also expressed in degrees Celsius). Courtesy of NOAA and The Pennsylvania State University.|
For reference, the vertical axis represents pressure expressed in millibars, while the horizontal axis coincides with temperature, expressed in degrees Celsius. From roughly 700 mb to the ground (700 mb corresponds to an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet), the temperature (lime-green) and dew-point (aqua-blue) soundings were identical (or nearly so). Such an extensive overlap of temperature and dew point through a deep layer of air indicates the presence of precipitation. Indeed, high relative humidity (100% or slightly lower) through a deep layer of the atmosphere is a classic footprint of precipitation.
As I have written many times before, a large percentage of the precipitation falling over United States begins as snow in the typically cold, middle troposphere (yes, even during summer). Revisiting the plot of temperature and dew points over University Park, PA (above), falling snowflakes melted into raindrops in the rather thick and “warm” layer (which I annotated as the “Melting Layer”). In this melting layer, temperatures were noticeably higher than 0°C (32°F).
Closer to the ground, there was a fairly thick layer where temperatures were lower than 0°C. In this “cold” layer, raindrops became supercooled (i.e., remained unfrozen at a temperature below 0°C). As supercooled raindrops splashed down on cold surfaces at and near the ground, they froze after impact, completing the classic earthward journey of freezing rain.
Migrating loons suffered a similar fate, and, as ice accumulated on their feathers and tails, the loons’ airworthiness was compromised; the weight of the ice just made it too difficult to fly. To complicate matters, icy loons apparently mistook wet roads and parking lots below their flight path as bodies of water, and so they landed.
Here’s where the plight of the loons turned from bad to worse. The feet of Arctic loons are too far back on their bodies for them to walk on land or, more critically, to take flight from land. Even small ponds or lakes are not ideal for take-off. I have read that it takes roughly 100 meters (330 feet) or so for loons to take flight from a body of water. As a result, loons typically use large lakes, bays, and coastal ocean waters during migration.
I’m obviously not a loon expert, but I surmise that placing a grounded loon in a small lake or pond would be very, very dangerous because they require a larger body of water to take flight.
The story had a happy ending for the loons taken in by Centre Wildlife Care. CWC released the rescued loons at Lake Perez later | [

Online lottery websites typically offer subscription services that allow customers to purchase tickets for every drawing. Subscription fees vary, but the price is similar to that of real-world lottery sites. Furthermore, official state-sponsored websites don’t charge a higher rate for the convenience of purchasing tickets online. While some states are considering allowing lottery sales online, others are still unsure if they’ll allow it in their state.
Online lottery sales are growing rapidly. This is due to their convenience and the fact that they offer the same selection as traditional retailers. Some states, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York, have already introduced regulations to protect consumers. And others, such as Kentucky, are considering regulating the online lottery market. These regulations are a great step towards enhancing the online lottery experience for players.
The online lottery system in the US offers multi-state lottery games, such as Mega Millions, Powerball, and Tri-State Megabucks. It also offers games like Cash 4 Life, Treasure Hunt, and Millionaire Raffle. The online lottery system allows players to buy lottery tickets online for major draws and receive instant payments.
Online lottery sites provide players with the convenience of playing the game at any time of the day, seven days a week. The best sites give players instant access to lottery games, allowing them to purchase tickets securely. In addition, they allow players to compare current jackpots and odds of winning a prize. While the odds of winning aren’t as high as the real thing, online lottery sites bring the games to players.
In addition to online lottery games, online scratch cards offer a number of lucrative rewards. Prize payouts range from a few hundred dollars to over a million dollars. Players can play these games for as little as $0.05. And winnings below $600 are generally credited to an online account. However, prizes of more than $50k must be claimed in person at a lottery office. Some of these games also support online pools. This means players can create groups and pool their money to buy multiple tickets.
In some cases, you can even claim your prize online if you’ve won. Withdrawals can be processed directly to your bank account, but larger jackpots may require a trip to a local lottery claim center. When you’ve won the lottery, you’ll need to provide identification documents, a claim form, and a certified mail service.
Many online lottery agents offer services outside of the United States. Some are located in Canada, Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. Many lottery agents are legitimate, but they do add their own fees to the transaction. In addition, they take a percentage of the jackpot amount that you win. Legitimate lottery agents offer security measures to protect their customers and ensure daily transactions are safe. They use SSL encryption and have trust logos.
You can also play the online lottery using a mobile device. Many online lotteries have mobile-friendly websites, but some of them are not. In addition, you can download a mobile application to your smartphone or tablet for easy lottery play. This way, you’ll never have to worry about navigating a crowded store or queue.
Playing the online lottery can make you a millionaire in minutes if you win the jackpot! Just make sure you choose a legitimate website and stick to the rules of the game. In some states, playing the lottery online is against the law, so be sure to check local regulations before playing. You should never gamble more money than you have.
Legal online lottery games have come a long way in the US. Many states now offer lottery games through online sites. In addition, the federal government has issued a legal opinion that states can legally run their lottery games online without violating the Federal Wire Act. | [

Shema who disclosed this in Katsina at a state PDP zonal meeting said the elections date would be announced in January for the political parties to begin preparations
The governor, who was represented by Sen. Umar Tsauri, said all the materials needed for the exercise were on ground.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 34 local governments in the state were being managed by caretaker committees.
This was as a result of the expiration of the tenure of elected council officials early in 2011.
“The elections will take place next year, God willing, because everything has been put in place,’’ Shema said.
The governor called on PDP supporters to come out en mass during the elections to vote for the party’s candidates.
On the defection from the party to APC by some members, Shema said “most of such people are not original PDP members. Now, they have joined the group they belong to’’.
He, however, admitted that the party was facing challenges.
“We all know that PDP is facing some challenges and anyone trying to say otherwise is deceiving himself.
“But we have been able to identify those challenges. By identifying the problem itself, it means half of the challenges facing us as a party have been solved,’’ the governor said.
Shema however said PDP in the state would continue with the zoning and consensus principle.
He also called on party members to woo to the party’s fold other people that would help PDP in achieving its political objectives. | [

Date: 07/26/2012 3:32 PM Title: Chapter 1
I can't believe that in 2 years this superb story has had no reviews. Dislike of threesomes? That's not what this story (and this series) is about. It's about the terrible pain of being an outsider, and of finally being invited in from the cold. "fighting... the ultimate negation of community." What a profound insight - and one we would all do well to remember. Dreams of rejection; hope for community. And the words are spare and beautiful. And I've read the whole series, so I know this fragile community won't survive Spock's hybrid genes.
A wonderful read - with tears.
Thank you for your kind words and your insights!
It feel especially good to get reviews after some time has passed.
There is a strong element of c'thia at work here, the realisation that not even miracles are eternal. The whole of Star Trek is set against the immense spaces, the deep time, and the mindless violence of the universe, so it feels inevitable to me that individual lives are at some point shattered. | [

Bruins sign Patrice Bergeron to eight-year contract
He has been one of the toughest players on the ice for the Boston Bruins, playing with a punctured lung in one Stanley Cup Final game.
Friday, the Bruins announced they had signed forward Patrice Bergeron to an eight-year contract through the 2021-22 season.
Bergeron, 27, has been a Bruin his entire career, scoring 153 goals and 280 assists.
Bruins fans will remember his epic 2013 postseason performance. Besides scoring nine goals, the team leader earned two game-winning goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, including a series-clinching overtime goal against Toronto in Game 7 of the Quarterfinal and a Game 3 OT tally versus Pittsburgh in the Conference Final.
Bergeron’s three career playoff-overtime goals tie him with Mel Hill and Terry O’Reilly for the most in club history.
According to Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli, Bergeron’s salary is worth an annual cap figure of $6,500,000. | [

What is the origin of this early inclination, the source of the literary vocation, for inventing beings and stories? The answer, I think, is rebellion. I’m convinced that those who immerse themselves in the lucubration of lives different from their own demonstrate indirectly their rejection and criticism of life as it is, of the real world, and manifest their desire to substitute for it the creations of their imaginations and dreams.
Not the tactical, logical, left-brain reason; but the deep down, can’t-ignore-this-thing, totally irrational reason.
Perhaps you don’t need to know why you write. Maybe you are content to take direction from your muse without questioning her motives. You may find exploration of the driving forces behind your work irrelevant.
That’s your prerogative, BUT …
If you unearth the underlying energy that fuels your need to put words down, you can harness that power to infuse your writing with more passion and purpose. Understanding why you are compelled to pick up a pen or set your fingers racing across the keyboard can bring you a higher level of clarity and confidence. It can help you define and prioritize your writing. It can give you direction.
I have often wondered about the “why” behind my own urge to write. I’ve constructed several hypotheses…

Why is Signals and Systems so difficult?
In Signals and Systems people usually face difficulty due to lack of physical intuition. All these fourier transforms and series become difficult when u dont understand what is happening physically…. If you want physical intuition then spend time on it….
Is Signals and Systems a tough subject?
Signal & Systems is an easy subject as compared to other EE subjects. This subject includes topics such as Discrete-Time Signals, Fourier series and its application, LTI Systems, Representation of Continuous and Discrete-Time Signals and Sampling Theorem.
What are the basic signals?
Classification of continuous-time and discrete-time signals deals with the type of independent variable. If the signal amplitude is defined for every possible value of time, the signal is called a continuous-time signal.
What do we learn in Signals and Systems?
Signals and Systems is an introduction to analog and digital signal processing, a topic that forms an integral part of engineering systems in many diverse areas, including seismic data processing, communications, speech processing, image processing, defense electronics, consumer electronics, and consumer products.
Is signal and system hard Quora?
Signals and Systems should not be a hard class. At start every subject feels difficult. Over a period of time you will start understanding few things. As you spend time, lot of things will get clear.
How are signal classified?
Signals are classified into the following categories: Continuous Time and Discrete Time Signals. Deterministic and Non-deterministic Signals. Even and Odd Signals.
What is X T in signals and systems?
A sinusoidal signal is of the form x(t) = cos(ωt + θ). x(t) = A cos(2πft + θ). where f is the frequency in Hertz. We will often refer to ω as the frequency, but it must be kept in mind that it is really the radian frequency, and the frequency is actually f.
What are some examples of signals?
A signal is a function or a data set representing a physical quantity or variable. Usually, the signal encapsulates information about the behavior of a physical phenomenon, for example, electrical current flowing through a resistor, sonar sound waves propagating under water, or earthquakes.
What are common examples of signals?
Music, video, voice, pictures, data and so forth are all examples of signals to be transmitted and stored.
What are systems in signals?
A system is any process that produces an output signal in response to an input signal. Continuous systems input and output continuous signals, such as in analog electronics. Discrete systems input and output discrete signals, such as computer programs that manipulate the values stored in arrays.
Why do we study signal and systems?
Invariably, one will find that Signals and Systems is taught as a core subject. The reason for this is because the concepts of Signals and Systems form the foundation upon which the theories and techniques of many later year subjects that are studied in electrical engineering are developed.
What is the best way to learn signals and systems?
The first thing that Signals and Systems requires is mathematical intuition and pictorial understanding. In my opinion few tips for easy understanding of signals and systems may be stated as under: Be comfortable with Phasors from Basic Electrical Engineering stuff.

Safety was the priority for this school district in search of a penetration-free, aesthetically pleasing snow retention solution for its new copper metallic-finish standing seam metal roof that would both match the roof and last the life of the roof.
The Result With S-5’s diligent load-testing and web-based calculator tool, the ColorGard system enables reliable mitigation of potential rooftop avalanches and dramatically reduces the risk of sudden and unexpected release of snow slides, which could pose a serious threat to students, teachers,
administrators and property below.
The roof system is a combination of Carlisle adhered 80 mil TPO and DMI TL2512 22ga Metallic Copper. Both roofs have three layers of 2-inch polyisocyanurate insulation for an R value of 34.2. The wall system includes approximately 5,000-square-feet of Kingspan 2-inch thick, 42-inch stucco embossed metal wall panels.
Roofing contractor, Stephen Golab of Carlon Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc., has worked on a number of school roofing projects in the area and has the expertise to know how best to bring all of the building elements together. He has also been using S-5! snow retention products for more than 10 years. Steve recommended the complete S-5! ColorGard system, including S-5-T Clamps, VersaClips and SnowClips to the school board.
With a quick turnaround time, Steve was able to deliver a snow retention solution that provided the aesthetics the board was seeking since the ColorGard system offered perfect color and finish-matching designed to last the life of the roof. And, it offered the fully tested and engineered safety they needed to protect students, teachers and administrators from potential snow slides.
The school board was able to achieve the quality look it wanted with a snow retention system that maintains the roof integrity, mitigates potential rooftop avalanches and complements the look of the roof, with a clean appearance and perfect color and
finish-matching, all designed to last the life of the roof and warranted to do so.
The S-5 ColorGard System is Powder-coated and air-dried paint finishes fade faster than the roof, producing an unsightly mismatch in just a few years. ColorGard’s finish match lasts the life of the roof - guaranteed because it is the same material as the roof! Our metal roof snow guards can be easily installed any time of the year. Retrofit ColorGard to an existing roof or incorporate it in the new roof desig

The number of jobs lost due to the coronavirus shutdown continue to mount, with the latest weekly total of Americans applying for unemployment benefits topping 3 million, yet again.
The latest swath of applications brings the total amount of jobless claims to more than 33 million over the past seven weeks, more than wiping out the 20 million jobs added over the last decade.
But some states have been feeling the impact of job losses more than others. A Yahoo Finance review of jobless claims data from the U.S. Department of Labor reveals that Georgia and other states in the South have been particularly hard hit since the coronavirus pandemic brought the country’s economy to a grinding halt.
Comparing each state’s average weekly jobless claims totals over the past six weeks to the week before shutdowns started occurring, reveals Georgia, Florida, and Alabama to be the three states showing the largest percentage spike in people applying for unemployment benefits. Georgia in particular saw jobless claims average a nearly 5,000% spike versus the week ending March 14. Florida and Alabama saw slightly less dramatic peaks, with claims surging about 4,000%.
Interestingly, after climbing up the list from seventh in last week’s reading to second place, Florida saw weekly jobless claims fall by more than 50% to just above 173,000 weekly unemployment claims in the latest reading. The state was among the last in the nation to implement a stay-at-home order and thus is experiencing a later spike in unemployment claims.
Michigan also saw sustained jobless claims over the past month, averaging a more than 3,600% increase to unemployment claims compared to the week ended March 14. Kentucky and New Hampshire also posted noteworthy jumps, both showing a more than 3,500% increase in jobless claims over the same period. Virginia rounded out the top seven states enduring the sharpest percentage spike in jobless claims over the period analyzed.
Economists expect more unemployment claims in weeks to come despite lockdown orders being lifted in certain states. | [

During the SolarWinds Orion attack, Russian state hackers also targeted tech giant Autodesk, the company confirmed.
Autodesk is a leading software and services company that provides CAD (computer-aided design), drafting, 3D modeling tools, and other solutions for the design, engineering, construction, and industrial sectors.
“We identified a compromised SolarWinds server and promptly took steps to contain and remediate the incidents,” Autodesk said in a recent 10-Q SEC filing. “While we believe that no customer operations or Autodesk products were disrupted as a result of this attack, other, similar attacks could have a significant negative impact on our systems and operations.”
Autodesk detected a compromised SolarWinds server on December 13. The company did not see any other malware besides Sunburst. According to the attackers, they did not execute any other threats besides the backdoor.
“Soon after, the server was isolated, logs were collected for forensic analysis, and the software patch was applied,” the spokesperson said. “Autodesk’s Security team has concluded their investigation and observed no malicious activity beyond the initial software installation.”
The attack that affected SolarWinds’ infrastructure was launched by a division of the Russian Foreign intelligence Service (FS). This group, which is also known as APT29, The Dukes, or Cozy Bear, is responsible for other high-profile attacks.
After gaining access to the Orion Software Platform’s internal systems, attackers were able to modify the platform and planted a trojan in it source code and builds released between March 2020 and June 2020.
These trojanized builds were used to execute a remote code execution (RCE) attack that could allow an attacker to gain control of an infected system.
As a result, the Russian government gained access to the private networks of multiple US federal agencies and tech firms.
SolarWinds, which provides powerful and affordable software, had about 300,000 customers worldwide, among them 25 US Fortune 500 companies and top ten US telecom companies. The list also included the US Military, the US State Department, NASA, NOAA, and the Office of the president of the US. | [

How Meditation Saved My Life
Have you ever imagined that by sitting silently twice per day for 20-30 minutes you could improve your health markedly? Imagine never having to go to the doctor’s again, except for yearly checkups. Imagine waking up each morning, filled with energy and zest to start your day. Imagine living the life you’ve always dreamed of living. This is how your life can be within three weeks.
My name is Michelle Fondin and I’m the owner of Michelle Fondin Wellness and the author of The Wheel of Healing: An Easy Guide to an Ayurvedic Lifestyle. In 2007, my life was transformed by learning meditation. Like you, I had my ailments. I suffered from extreme stress and anxiety. I didn’t know which direction my life was heading in and I had a lot to be thankful for. I had the beautiful house in the South of France with a pool overlooking a vineyard. I had the marriage and three lovely children. We didn’t lack financially. But I was stressed, anxious and unhappy. My health suffered. I had many fears. The question that buzzed inside my head was, “Is this all there is to life?” I knew there must be more. I knew a life without anxiety and sickness had to be possible. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t ungrateful, life had just lost its zest. You see my sense of self had come from others and exterior forces. But I wanted my sense of peace to come from within.
Like you, I was hesitant to learn meditation. I had been practicing yoga for close to 20 years. I had been living an Ayurvedic lifestyle since 1999 and I wanted to help others life a healthier life. But little did I know that this one simple practice would transform my life and my health.
I went into my Primordial Sound Meditation course at The Chopra Center in California with a skeptical mind. I wasn’t convinced that meditation would help me. After all, my mind raced all the time. I was convinced that I couldn’t sit still for more than a few minutes. But the method taught in Primordial Sound Meditation turned my beliefs around. After a few days, I was meditating like a pro and sitting for hours in meditation at the retreat. Then miracles started to occur in my life every day. I couldn’t believe what was happening. Meditation changed my life completely and it can absolutely change yours.

How long does it take caffeine pills to work?
It takes an hour or so for a caffeine pill to achieve maximum effect, and by five or six hours, the effective dosage has dropped in half (this time duration is called the elimination half life).
What are the negative effects of caffeine? One of the negative effects of caffeine is that small amounts taken daily can create a physical dependence. If a regular coffee drinker, for example, fails to drink his daily dose of caffeine, he can end up with headaches, excessive sleepiness, a feeling like he cannot function.
How long does it take for coffee to leave the body? Processed mainly through the liver, caffeine has a relatively short half-life. This means it takes about five to seven hours, on average, to eliminate half of it from your body. After eight to 10 hours, 75% of the caffeine is gone.
What are the symptoms of too much coffee? Signs and symptoms you’ve had too much caffeine and are now dehydrated as a result include feeling light-headed, nauseous, weak or confused and experiencing dry mouth, lack of sweat and heart palpitations.
How long does it take for coffee to start working? It takes around 45 – 60 minutes for caffeine to kick in after it is consumed. One of the reasons coffee remains so popular is that the effects of caffeine can often be felt for 4-6 hours.
What are the side effects of quitting caffeine?
What are the side effects of quitting caffeine? Side effects of quitting caffeine appear roughly 12 to 24 hours after cessation of coffee consumption and may include headaches, Side effects of quitting caffeine appear approximately 12 to 24 hours after termination of coffee consumption and may include headaches, irritability, and constipation.
What are the bad things about caffeine? Having 300 mg or more of caffeine a day can lead to negative effects. Excess caffeine may cause heart palpitations. Caffeine may cause stomach discomfort. For some, caffeine can be part of a cycle of exhaustion and caffeine boosts. Drinking a cup of coffee every day may lead to physical dependence on caffeine.
What are the dangers of drinking coffee? Risks of Drinking Coffee. Too much consumption of coffee leads to addictive effects. Moreover, this caffeine overdose in the body is sure to over stimulate your system, and particularly the adrenal glands. Increased caffeine intake can led to anxiety, irritability, headaches, fatigue, and even digestive problems for many.
How much does caffeine really affect your heart rate? Your heart will beat faster. It has been proven that caffeine has the ability to increase heart rate by somewhere around three beats per minute. When you ingest caffeine, it goes to your small intestine from where it enters the bloodstream and starts to stimulate your central nervous system. | [

A judge has given two north Belfast loyalists three weeks to get out of Northern Ireland after he was told they had received death threats.
The pair were arrested after a police raid on a north Belfast bar
Garry Mackenzie, 35, and Alan John McClean, 19, were among 17 men arrested when police raided the Alexandra Bar in the York Road area last March.
Both men are on bail awaiting trial on a charge of helping to organise a meeting in support of the UDA/UFF.
But the high court heard they are now
under threat from the "mainstream UDA".
Police had applied for a review of a condition of their bail that they must reside at addresses in Northern Ireland approved by the police.
The reason, Crown lawyer Charles McKay said, was that the lives of both men were at risk following death threats from what he described as the "mainstream UDA".
"Police believe they would be a target wherever they lived in Northern Ireland and a great deal of manpower is being expended safeguarding them," Mr McKay said.
A defence lawyer questioned the validity of the death threats but Mr Justice Weatherup said he accepted that police were satisfied there was a continuing and serious threat to the men's lives.
He said the court had to take account of the threat to the men and also to the public should violence break out and on balance he had decided to require them to live outside Northern Ireland where the risk to their lives would be diminished. | [

National Gallery London : Architecture
Key Public Building in Trafalgar Square, England, UK – by William Wilkins architect
page updated 23 Jun 2014
National Gallery Building London
Architect: William Wilkins
1872-76 (Barry Rooms)
Architect: E. M. Barry
Address: Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 5DN, UK
Phone: 020 7747 2885
Opening hours: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm, check with operator
This is an art museum on Trafalgar Square in central London. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. The Gallery is an exempt charity, and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Its collection belongs to the public of the United Kingdom and entry to the main collection is free of charge. It is the fifth most visited art museum in the world, after the Musée du Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum and Tate Modern.
The present building, the third to house the collection, was designed by architect William Wilkins from 1832–38. Only the façade onto Trafalgar Square remains essentially unchanged from this time, as the building has been expanded piecemeal throughout its history. Wilkins’s building was often criticised for its perceived aesthetic deficiencies and lack of space; the latter problem led to the establishment of the Tate Gallery for British art in 1897. The Sainsbury Wing, an extension to the west by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, is a notable example of Postmodernist architecture in Britain.
National Gallery architect : William Wilkins
Sainsbury Wing – National Gallery Extension, Trafalgar Square
Design: Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates – Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown
National Gallery Extension design : Venturi Rauch Brown, architects
The architectural proposal by ABK – for the building that came to be known as the Sainsbury Wing – was infamously described by Prince Charles [May 30, 1984] as being “a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend”. This helped set up a polarisation in the UK between traditional and contemporary architecture styles and thinking.
ABK’s design for the extension was abandoned.

| “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father…” Well, you know the rest. And if you do not, welcome to The Princess Bride, one of the best fantasy films ever made. Unrequited love, damsels in distress, giants, sword fights, miracles, torture machines, extra fingers… it’s all there and more. If you were to accuse the Eighties of producing bad films, many will point to this movie in its defense, probably adding that they don’t make them like this anymore.
The story starts where all fairy tales have their genesis: at the side of the bed of a sick child. Stuck at home, the boy is visited by his grandfather, who brought along a book called The Princess Bride. It’s the first hint that this film is unlike anything else you’ve seen in the genre.
A quick whirlwind of scenes take us through the blossoming romance of Buttercup and her stable hand, the dashing Westley. But when he goes missing during a trip abroad, she falls into a deep depression and, years later, agrees to marry the local prince, himself on the cusp of becoming king.
Then three thugs kidnap the future princess for reasons that become clear later. They believe they got away with it until spotting that they are being followed. One by one the mysterious stranger takes care of the kidnappers and comes close to rescuing Buttercup. But the prince arrives and the stranger, the Dread Pirate Roberts, is arrested (despite the prince promising his bride otherwise). The remaining kidnappers and pirate have to join forces to beat the evil monarch and save Buttercup.
It all sounds fairly straightforward, but The Princess Bride is anything but. While director Rob Reiner already had a reputation for serious movies (Stand By Me), he was also responsible for the brilliant mockumentory This Is Spinal Tap. In lieu of not reading the book, we can’t confirm if the film’s humour came from there. But Reiner and his crew certainly made it work on the big screen. It has raised The Princess Bride as one of the best comedies every made, with fast dialog and deadpan humour carrying the somewhat absurd plot.
Audiences weren’t as appreciative: the film returns only doubled its $16 million budget. But it would grow to become a massive cult hit and inspire a generation of kids to grow up believing in endless love, giants, miracles and that you should always be able to use a sword with both hands.
Best Scene: A limp, resurrected Westley being dragged around by Fezzik.
Best Quote: “Inconceivable!” But really, there are too many to pick a favourite.

Worksite safety is a top concern for mining employers and workers alike. However, despite best efforts, unfortunately mining accidents do occur. In such
circumstances, an employer should take a number of steps to deal with the consequences of any workplace injuries that have resulted from an accident. In
anticipation of the possibility of an accident and injury, an employer should have protocols in place, and employees should be familiar with such
protocols, so as to ensure that what needs to be done is done, quickly and efficiently.
1. Report the injury to the workers’ compensation board
If a worker is injured on the job, he/she should seek immediate medical attention, if required, and report the injury to the employer as soon as possible.
Next, the worker should report the injury to the relevant workers’ compensation board by filling out its standardized worker’s incident/injury report form.
Once the employer becomes aware of the reported injury, the employer should fill out the workers’ compensation board’s standardized employer’s incident
injury report form. Employers who fail to report may be subject to administrative penalties. In addition, depending on the scope of the actual accident, the employer may be required to report the accident to whatever
additional insurance providers may be providing relevant coverage. For example, this may include reporting to the employer’s property, liability and/or
automobile insurance provider(s).
2. Investigate the events relating to the injury
Often when there has been a workplace accident resulting in an injury, the workers’ compensation board requires the employer to fill out additional forms
including, for example, first aid reports, incident investigation reports and accident/witness statements. Accordingly, employers should, as soon as
reasonably possible, conduct an investigation into the circumstances leading up to the injury itself.
This employer investigation should include, if possible, interviewing the injured worker(s), interviewing witnesses to the accident, interviewing the
employer’s first aid provider (if one was involved), and examining any physical evidence that may have played a role in the accident (for example, a
vehicle or a piece of equipment). If possible, depending on the severity of the injury, all relevant physical evidence should remain in secured custody
until all investigations are completed.
3. Perform a root cause analysis
Following a workplace accident, the employer should engage in a root cause analysis. The goal of such an analysis is to identify the root cause(s) of the
problem that led to the accident/injury and to assist in designing effective corrective actions that will prevent or mitigate the possibility of it
The root cause analysis is often part of the employer’s investigation into the events relating to the worker’s injury. The analysis should be thorough,
objective, provide conclusions and identify the root causes. There is usually more than one root cause behind workplace accidents and injuries; identifying
all causal aspects is important in order for the employer, with worker cooperation, to rectify the problem going forward.
4. Revise work procedures and policy as required
Depending on the outcome of the employer’s own investigation and root cause analysis, as well as the workers’ compensation board’s own investigation, the
employer may be required to create new policies and procedures or, alternatively, amend old policies and procedures. The goal of these changes should be to
improve safety management protocols, which will, in turn, lead to fewer accidents and workplace hazards.
5. Continue to cooperate with the workers’ compensation board
As a result of the worker’s and employer’s reports of workplace injury, the workers’ compensation board will conduct its own review and determine whether
or not the worker was injured while in the performance of her/his job. Depending on this determination, the worker’s claim may or may not be upheld.
Additionally, the workers' compensation board may make various orders against the employer. At this time, both the worker and employer have various review
and/or appeal rights they may choose to exercise, depending on the determination(s) made.
It is often the case that once a significant accident occurs at a worksite, workers’ compensation board officers will increase their workplace inspections.
Such a response is entirely reasonable and employers should do their best to accommodate any such inspections.

St Kilda coach Scott Watters today believes he faces a terrific challenge. Photo: Sebastian Costanzo
He played just 37 games for the Swans - and won only five of those - yet the significance of his time in Sydney two decades ago is not lost on St Kilda coach Scott Watters.
Tomorrow his Saints look to start defining their season when they take on a Sydney side Watters believes are serious contenders.
But way back then, in among a lot of losing but enjoyable times, was where he believes it all began. ''While it was a tough time from a performance viewpoint (they won just once in his first season, 1993), there were some fantastic people we introduced to the club, and it really was the embryonic stage of the Sydney we see today,'' Watters recalled. ''There was enormous spirit at the club then.
''While it wasn't reflected in a win-loss point of view, there were a lot of pieces of the puzzle you could feel were getting put in place. Ron Barassi was the face, but (chairman) Richard Colless was the one who orchestrated it, and from the ashes probably built the club that is there today. His impact can't be underestimated.
''I look at Sydney with nothing but great memories. I was only a couple of years there but … every club has a different personality and character and Sydney has got an enormous character and we've seen that over the last decade, the way they have shaped the club now. It doesn't surprise me the club got to this point because I reckon the foundations set early, were pretty solid.''
Watters literally went from the penthouse to outhouse. He spent four years at West Coast playing in their 1991 grand final, and played 18 games in 1992 when they won the flag, albeit not the grand final. He decided he wanted a different opportunity but with a year left on his contract, the Eagles could virtually decide who they would let him go to. Sydney was his destination.
While they had only one win in 1993, it doesn't mean there weren't more fond memories, such as the round 18 clash with current club, St Kilda, at the SCG.
The game became famous not for big marks or goals, but a pig with the word ''Pluga'' and the number four, written on its side, let loose in the Saints forward line.
It was a move aimed at the Saints', and later Swans', devastating forward Tony Lockett, and while nobody has ever declared who was involved, it's believed the idea was hatched in a pub after a chance meeting between some Swans and a pig farmer.
''I am going to stay away from that,'' Watters laughed when asked about Pluga. ''There were many parties involved and my part in it has been overplayed to be honest. It certainly was a different time.''
New beginnings were a trend for Watters. He had been at the Eagles from their third season, the Swans for the start of the rebuild, then after two seasons in Sydney he headed back to Perth to join new club Fremantle, and ''having the opportunity to be a part of an emerging culture at each was a fantastic experience''.
Two seasons at the Dockers were where his playing career ended, but after a short break he was back in the game coaching, firstly at Subiaco, then assistant jobs at Fremantle and Collingwood - alongside his Eagles' coach from 20 years earlier Mick Malthouse - then as the successor to Ross Lyon at the Saints.
''It's been good. It's hasn't been anything unexpected, it's a terrific challenge but real privilege at the same time,'' he said noting he has taken something from all his experiences as a player into his coaching, valuing equally the success at the Eagles, and the pressure of losing at the Swans.
Watters has nothing but respect for his old club and believes they are ''a serious contender and a side not to be underestimated''.
''I think they have increased their offensive capability. There is a good balance between their inside grunt which they have been renowned for and now some outside players who can hurt you as well.''
As for his own team, which sits 4-4 : ''Our best football is good enough to beat anyone. I firmly believe that.'' | [

Philips and The Monkey Pen
Cine Shore Rating:
Rewind your childhood days and grab a ticket!
Plot : Ryan Philip (Master Sanoop) is a very typically naughty kid. Philip (Jayasurya) and Sameera (Remya Nambeesan) are his parents who belong to different religions. Ryan is terribly weak in Maths and always gets punished by his teacher Pappan (Vijay Babu). Ryan’s fate changes once he gets a monkey pen. What happens thereafter is what the film is all about.
Perfomances : Master Sanoop did a very impressive job as the naughty Ryan. Jayasurya and Remya performed well too giving a realistic feel to the film. Vijay Babu and the kids were brilliant as well. Mukesh and Innocent shone in their brief roles.
Technical Department : Hats off to the director duo Rojin Philip-Shanil Mohammed and crew for giving us a memorable film that takes us back to our childhood days. The realistic portrayal is achieved through excellent cinematography and narration. Music by Rahul is nice as well.
Analysis : On the whole, ‘Philips and the Monkey Pen’ is a well crafted family entertainer that blends humor along with a good message. It is a perfect movie to watch with your family. The film is a nostalgic journey of our childhood and is sure to bring back memories. Hardly any negatives to harp about and it is a strongly recommended film! Surely one of the best films of 2013!

Well, what a night last night was on the blog picks! – Mark Andrews at 14s, Michael Floyd at 25s!!! The TD score gave us the Andrews yards as well obviously, Firkser finished half a yard short of 16.5, but Tyrell Williams only had the one catch for 12 yards as the Chargers did their best Chargers impression and lost at home to the Ravens. So just the 40 points or so of profit!
+7 +10) @ Browns: 44
Well, this line has moved considerably. The pros love the Browns and this week they’re right to. The Bengals lost their only reliable passing option with Tyler Boyd likely to miss the rest of the year. So they’ll have Erickson, Cody Core, Auden Tate, Josh Malone, all those household stars playing this week. Joe Mixon has been brilliant recently and he’ll have to get another 25 touches this week for the Bengals to get on the scoreboard here. BUT The Browns hate Hue Jackson and rookie Baker Mayfield has been great in recent weeks. They took a 28 point lead in the first half when they played a month ago and I can see them winning this at a canter – BROWNS – NAP (Never thought I’d say that)
My god, the Browns as double digit favourites?! What crazy world is this! It’s been a decade since they were this favourited. They should probably cover it tbh! There’s nothing worth it on the Bengals side of the ball, I think they’ll have a WR corp of John Ross, Cody Core, Josh Malone and Alex Erickson. Malone scored a last year but has been injured most of this, I like him. For the Browns? Well you’re looking at most of them to score tbh. I don’t think you can go wrong starting an acca with Chubb (4/7 Sky), he’s scored in 6 of his last 8 games and got two against the Bengals a month ago. Bigger prices for them? The outsiders are all too short tbh.
Nick Chubb anytime – 4/7 (Skybet) 1/3 on a treble.
Buccaneers (+7) @ Cowboys: 48
The Cowboys have a good home record, but the Colts showed how to beat them last week, shut down Zeke and slow down Amari Cooper and they’ve got practically nothing but while I think the Buccs have a good front 7 I don’t think they’re capable of doing that task. DeSean Jackson should be back for Tampa, but who cares. COWBOYS
D Jax is back, but there’s still little of any interest on the Buccs side of the ball for me frankly. Cameron Brate at 9/4 is probably the guy to look for if you want someone from Tampa, Jameis loves him. Peyton Barber has 4 TDs in 5 games, and is at 7/4 on Betfred. Not awful. The Cowboys side? Add Zeke to Chubb. Blake Jarwin at 11/2 is one to see at a bigger price, he’s been increasing snaps and the other TE Geoff Swaim is now on IR. And if you want to go crazy then Rod Smith is at 25s (365), the RB2 for them. He gets a few carries per week
Zeke anytime – 2/3 on the treble.
Vikings (-6) @ Lions: 43
The Vikings did exactly what I thought they would with a new OC last week, give the ball to Dalvin Cook. They went from two-thirds passing to two-thirds running and if it wasn’t for a few freak plays (pick 6 and a big return) they’d have won last week by 40. The Lions have been on a downward trajectory for weeks now, the Vikings sacked Matty Stafford 10 times when they met earlier in the season. Golladay is the only plus point for their entire season – they’ll win and cover, but with a likely heavy running game lean to the unders – VIKINGS
Dalvin Cook (10/11 RZ) added to Zeke and Chubb for the treble – Not exciting at 3.14/1 (PI) on Skybet but should be fairly solid. Golladay was listed as questionable for the Lions, if he’s out they have virtually nothing. It could be a very long night for Detriot and a painful one for Stafford. Tyler Conklin at TE for the Vikings is an interesting one, it looks like Rudolph is on his way out after a crap season and they are looking to the future with Conklin, 2 receptions for 53 yards last week for him, so 13/1 on PP isn’t a terrible shout.
Dalvin Cook anytime | [

What To Look For In Persian Cats
May 29, 2008 :: Posted by - kittyluver :: Category - Breeds
Persian cats are a highly-prized breed. It’s no wonder, really, considering how attractive their long fur can be. The immense number of Persian Cat breeders around the world shows how badly people want them, such that the cats are snatched up faster than the breeders can provide for.
An unfortunate effect of this phenomenon, however, is the increasing number of "kitten mills". An offshoot of the Puppy Mill, kitty mills refer to profit-oriented breeding facilities designed to churn out as many cats as possible, as fast as possible. What this means is that the cats’ welfare takes a backseat to production. Most of them are kept in cramped conditions with many other cats, unprotected from the elements.
Female cats are also forced to mate everytime they are in heat. Kittens are weaned well before they actually finish nursing. Cats produced by such inhumane treatment are typically unhealthy, unsocialized and may exhibit a higher level of genetic defects.
Because of this, industry insiders recommend adopting Persians from reputable, certified breeders or from animal shelters. The latter usually screen their residents medically and provide the necessary treatments before offering one up for adoption. For the former, though, here are some things to consider when choosing a breeder.
First of all, of course, is the program that the breeder runs. It is important for you to understand the methods and procedures taken by said breeder to ensure quality cats. You should also ask for him/her to provide a pedigree for the feline and have it verified by a registry organization. Kitty mills frequently provide fake pedigrees to fool customers into buying their stock. The mother’s condition also may also tell you more of the kitten’s, so always ask to be shown her.
A good way to choose a breeder is to have one recommended by those with experience in such matters.
Responsible breeders also exhibit love and affection for their animals. You can see it in the way they handle the cats. Kitty mill operators typically show no compassion for the cats under their care. A genuine breeder’s pride and passion for his/her business, on the other hand, shines through.
So yeah, it might be hard sometimes to find a good and caring breeder, making it all too easy to fall back on the inferior stock provided by kitty mills. Don’t be too squeemish when asked to fork over a larger amount of cash for your cat; quality should always come first.

Reported Tottenham Hotspur and Everton target Thiago Silva has decided to move to Fiorentina, according to Corriere hello Sport.
It has been reported by the Italian publication that Silva will take a major pay-cut and will join Italian club Fiorentina on a free transfer this summer.
The report has claimed that the Brazil international central defender will earn £70,000 per week as salary at the Serie A outfit.
This will come as a blow for both Tottenham and Everton, with the two Premier League clubs reported to be interested in securing the services of the 35-year-old on a free transfer.
The Sun reported in June of interest in the veteran defender from Tottenham and Everton, with Silva having already decided that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain after the Champions League final this Sunday when his current contract runs out.
Silva may be 35 years of age, but the Brazil international remains a player at the top of his game.
Both Spurs and Everton could do with a player such as the Brazilian, as the Premier League clubs need defensive reinforcement.
Strange(r) things have happened in transfer windows, and perhaps there is still time for Spurs and Everton to change Silva’s mind. | [

One of our main traffic safety goals is to prevent deaths and serious injuries by improving seatbelt usage.
The statistics speak for themselves:
- On average, 54 unbelted occupants die each year on Saskatchewan roads.
- Seatbelts can decrease the chances of sustaining a serious injury in a traffic crash by as much as 50%.
Your best defense against injury or death is to buckle up every time you're in a vehicle.
We're a part of Road Safety Strategy 2015 (RSS 2015), a national effort for making Canada's roads the safest in the world.

At the front, as Henry and some Italian ambulance drivers were eating in a dugout, an Austrian projectile exploded over them.
The Chase is a short one and the projectile explodes like a hand grenade, spreading shrapnel 30 meters in every direction
A usually metal projectile in the shape of a pointed cylinder or a ball that is expelled from a firearm,especially a rifle or a handgun.
The difference In a given firearm between the diameter of the projectile fired and the diameter of the bore of the firearm.
Single OR multiple gripper OR projectile looms, rapier looms,water jet looms and air jet looms.
Rapier and projectile looms, which by design insert single picks, are ideally suited for pick - and - pick capability.
The projectile loom uses a projectile with grippers to carry the yarn through the shed. | [

No one wants to date sad sack, and no one wishes to hear about your awful past dating life the first time they speak to you. We are all Internet dating here --- it follows that we're all single and maybe don't want to be. So do not whine about your lack of a love life, do not lament the fact that you are such a nice guy but women are such harpies, and undoubtedly don't threaten to kill yourself because you are lonely. Sell yourself! In case you need extra credit (and a better opportunity at a response) be a little bit witty. Lesbian dating nearby Canterbury. Remember that almost everyone enjoys someone who takes an interest in them. So answer to what's in their profile and ask a question or two. Do not make it The Sad-Face Show. Keep it breezy.
Unless both of you make it clear in your profiles that you are on this website for sex and just sex, keep the message PG --- yes, even if there is a mention of something sexual in the individual's profile, and yes, even if you believe your sexual reference is cute or funny or intelligent. We all want to get set and we all have our sexual proclivities, and if we enjoy something in particular we may mention it on our dating profile. But even if there is a recognition that we, like virtually every other adult human being, occasionally appreciate having our genitals touched, there's no need to go all porno upon first launch. Lesbian dating near me Canterbury, Victoria. There's no need to go even a bit porno. Until you've gone actual porno in real life, leave the porno-chat alone.
You'd believe do not be a jerk " would be evident, but there are seemingly legions of folks (largely guys) who embrace crappy pickup-artist strategies in their online dating lives, and believe they might get lucky by sending vaguely (or blatantly ) dissing messages to unsuspecting recipients ( negging is actually a matter!). Is there some low-self-regard lady out there who might respond to a message about how awful she is? Sure, perhaps, but the chances are slim --- and since this is the Internet, even women who have been strongly socialized to be pleasant to cretins in pubs are able to hit the delete key. You're better off dumping the crappy, manipulative dating strategies and sending a fine, ordinary message.
Does her profile say she is a lesbian and you're a straight man with a weakness for Justin Bieber haircuts? Sorry pal, but she is not gonna be into you, regardless how appealing her floppy hair is. Do you live in Tennessee and are up for some long-distance chatting but she is in New York and desires someone local? Move on to somebody who's interested in people of your gender, place, age, etc. Lesbian dating in Canterbury VIC, Australia. The beauty of Internet dating is that we all get to specify that which we want. Regard that and don't waste anyone's time --- including your own.
Don't send multiple messages. There are plenty of reasons why someone might not message you back. There are a lot of reasons why someone may sign into OKCupid, check their messages, and not message you back. They simply may not be interested in you. Or, they might be checking their inbox immediately, and certainly will respond later. Or, they might not assess their inbox frequently. But the fastest way to get yourself classified as a psycho is to message someone more than once without getting a reply. You messaged them. They saw it, or will see it. Now have patience, or set your sights on one of the 10,000 other single people in your area. Repeat messaging says, I am a creep with border problems." And sure, there's someone out there for everyone, but you will widen your dating pool by not being a creep with boundary issues.
Do not send philosophical or hypothetical messages. No one is here to solve your double meaning, putative and senseless messages. Individuals join the dating websites to get fun so try being fascinating and fun to be with. In addition, do not be creepy and avoid sending the awkward and explicit messages in your first days of dating. No girl likes the porno-divine and tacky pick-up lines, instead, try sending genuine and honest messages. Coming on strong consistently is not trendy in any way, you may get reported and blocked very quickly. In short - do not send messages that you think that had regret having sent, later on, to someone you hardly understand.
Online dating websites help you locating love but don't race. Take your time, make an effort to know each other first, be good buddies as well as strategy for a relationship when you feel it is the right time. Don't get attached shortly, this really is the worst that could occur in online dating. An | [

254 amps isnt possible, 130 is the max on Fords, also hook up a voltmeter to the battery, read the volts, should be between 13.8 and 15.0, with all accessories on, if it's constantly higher, replace the alternator, the regulator is built onto the back of it, and if you know what your doing it's fairly simple to replace the regulator part and save some money. A rebuilt should cost about 150. So the addition is the shop labor? I did not see your post or I would have helped sooner, if you want detailed instructions to install the alternator let me know, but I will need to know which engine you have 3.0 3.0 24 valve, SOHC or dual overhead cams.

If you have a crooked smile, you are missing out on the benefits of perfectly aligned teeth. Straight teeth can unlock the doors to a world of a self-assured smile and heightened confidence. A straight smile enhances not only your smile but also your overall facial symmetry, making you appear more approachable and attractive. Functionally, straight teeth are easier to clean, promote effective chewing, and support natural speaking ability.
Although several teeth straightening treatments exist, traditional braces are still popular among adults, especially for severe orthodontic cases. Global Smiles Orthodontics in Columbus, Ohio, offers comfortable and effective metal braces to help you achieve a straighter, more attractive smile.
Conventional braces are an age-old technique used to straighten teeth and align bites for aesthetic and functional benefits. This system uses wire-connected brackets to apply continuous pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into their desired position over time.
The metal or ceramic brackets are attached to the front surface of each tooth using a strong dental adhesive. These brackets act as anchors for the braces. Metal braces have thin metal wires (archwires) threaded through the brackets and secured using small metal clips or rubber bands called ligatures.
Traditional braces require periodic appointments to adjust the braces. During these appointments, we tighten or change the archwire to ensure the teeth continue to move in the desired direction. Gradually, metal braces stimulate the surrounding bone tissue to reshape itself to accommodate the new tooth positions.
Many people choose orthodontic treatments for cosmetic purposes. However, most have realized that straighter teeth also have numerous functional benefits. If you notice the signs below, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Edgar Mendieta for traditional braces.
Although clear aligner systems like Invisalign have tremendously impacted orthodontics, certain issues still have to be corrected the traditional way. For instance, extrusions and intrusions can’t be fixed with Invisalign. In such cases, you need traditional braces to move the tooth higher or lower in the mouth. Furthermore, severe tooth rotation and malocclusion cases require traditional braces for an effective outcome.
Braces have come a long way since the mid-1800s. The ever-advancing orthodontics braces technology means adults and children don’t have to dread teeth alignment. Today’s braces are less bulky, discreet, and comfortable than those of yesteryears. Because of the less intrusive nature of modern braces, many patients are using them to achieve a healthy bite and beautiful smile.
The benefits of conventional braces include:
As you journey through life, remember that straighter teeth pave the way for a brighter, more confident, and healthier you. | [

Bad delay, no refund This is the most unprofessional thing I've seen on Google Play in a long time. You have to install another app (Adobe Air) to be able to use it. The sound delay is unbearable on an otherwise very capable device. Minutes after buying it I have tried to get a refund, only to see an error message again and again.
Dear developers, please fix the lagging between the touch and the sound playback. Apart from this, the app is great to have a feel for the scales, but without a little speedup it is useless. Update: developers contacted me, hopefully it's getting fixed. Update2: Nothing changed. I thought that lag was performance issue of galaxy s 2, but still ~1s lag on a newer phone between tapping the scree and playing the sound (nexus 5)
Probably the best of the Droid Hand Pan apps Great App INNERSOUND is just one of the two great apps from Pigreca. Make sure you also download MDR Handpan. The better sound is obtained by using the larger droid tablets. Sound can be amplified, but it is best to place cable direct to amplifier. Do not try to use BlueTooth, as it will cause extreme lag and delay. Also, do not try to use with USB or try to put the sound into a regular computer unless you have a great electronic filtering system. Contrary to the negative posts about lag, there is actually very little lag when using a good tablet or a larger droid phone. The app allows you to play more than one note at a time. You can actually play beautiful hang pan music with very little practice. At present, there is no ability to soften, or mute down a note, but you can still find a great way to play. I have even tried two identical tablets side by side with different tunings and made some great music. You can use the Zoom H2 recorders or similar, and use earphones to monitor. You can record some fantastic pieces, then work them over in your computer software. If we all support Pigreca, they will continue to improve and expand the apps. Well worth the investment.
Works Great! This app is really fun to use to explore sound. Very melodic, and the sound files are pretty spot on. For the price, you really can't go wrong.
To long delay bettwen touch and tone The lag makes for very slow playing

Rail lines in Pigeon to be worked on next week
Portion of Main Street will be closed at rail crossing
PIGEON — The Huron County Road Commission announced that a portion of Main Street in Pigeon will be closed at the railroad crossing due to railroad repairs.
The closure will start at 7 a.m. on Monday, May 11. The work is expected to be completed by the following Friday, May 15, though it may take longer if any problems arise.
Gary Osminski, the Huron County Highway Engineer, said the Huron County Road Commission would be working with the Huron and Eastern Railway to make repairs to the railroad tracks that run across the road, such as replacing the ties in the track.
“Tracks tend to get rough over time,” Osminski said. “We’re going to make it smoother for the cars crossing.”
The detour route into Pigeon will be going west along Weale Road before turning north onto Caseville Road.
Osminksi said access to businesses operating in the vicinity of the repairs will not be closed off.
“People may have to drive around to get to the other side,” Osminski said.
Road work is also being done on Port Hope Road in Rubicon Township between Filion Road and Dobson Road.
The closure is needed in order to make repairs to a bridge that goes over a creek.
Work on the bridge started on May 6 and is expected to be complete by May 11. The Road Commission asks drivers to seek alternate routes if driving in the area. | [

|Abstract:||The anterior adhesive system of the oncomiracidium and adult of Merizocotyle icopae (Monogenea: Monocotylidae) were compared. The oncomiracidium has one ventrally placed aperture on either side of the head near the anterior extremity. In the adult, there are three ventrally placed apertures on either side of the head region. Both systems have three types of electron-dense secretory bodies opening into each aperture. A rod-shaped secretion (S1) and a small electron dense ovoid secretion (S2) are common to larvae and adults. The third secretion type differs: in adults, it is a large, spherical (S3) type but in larvae, it is an ovoid (S4) body. S4 bodies do occur in adults, but appear to be secreted as a general body secretion. An additional anteromedian secretion (S5) is also present in the oncomiracidium, but is not secreted into the anterior apertures. Homology and function of secretions are discussed.|

And now you can add Wi-Fi access points and DAS antennas to the list.
A growing trend is emerging to use under-seat antenna placements to bring wireless signals closer to fans, for both Wi-Fi networks as well as cellular distributed antenna system (DAS) deployments. First used to compensate for a lack of overhang or railing placement spaces, under-seat deployments are now winning favor in all sorts of arenas for their ability to use human bodies to help build a more dense network, one that proponents say can carry far more capacity than an infrastructure that relies mainly on overhead antenna placements.
With proof points emerging quickly at venues like the San Francisco 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium and Texas A&M’s Kyle Field, as well as at pioneers AT&T Park and AT&T Stadium, under-seat Wi-Fi deployments may soon become more common, as more integrators and equipment suppliers embrace the under-seat method.
New stadiums under construction including the Sacramento Kings’ Golden 1 Center as well as new Wi-Fi deployments at existing stadiums like Houston’s NRG Stadium and the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte are also planning to primarily use under-seat Wi-Fi deployments, both for the performance and aesthetic benefits. With such high-profile deployments embracing the method, under-seat APs may become the default placement position going forward, especially as stadium mobile-device usage by fans keeps growing.
History: a need required by architecture
Editor’s note: This excerpt is from our latest STADIUM TECH REPORT, our long-form PDF publication that combines in-depth stadium tech reports with news and analysis of the hottest topics in the world of stadium and large public venue tech deployments. Enjoy this PART 1 of our lead feature, or DOWNLOAD THE REPORT and read the whole story right now!When Wi-Fi first arrived in stadiums, the obvious solution to questions about antenna and access point placement seemed evident — just mount them on ceilings, overhangs and walls, like they had always been placed historically. Mostly that decision kept the antennas out of sight, and provided good-enough reception for most network deployments.
But as fan Wi-Fi usage started growing, poor reception areas cropped up, most often in the most expensive seats near the courts or playing fields, where there was often little architectural infrastructure other than the seats themselves. At the San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park, the stadium where fan-facing Wi-Fi was first installed in 2004, the need for more bandwidth was a big problem that needed to be solved during the 2012-13 offseason, after the team’s second World Series title run in two years had produced record wireless usage.
Even with a Wi-Fi AP placed just about everywhere they could be, the San Francisco Giants’ IT team couldn’t keep up with demand. And the trick that has been tried at some stadiums — putting AP enclosures on handrails — wasn’t an option at AT&T Park, since its lower-bowl seating areas have no railings.
With options limited, that’s when an internal battle commenced around the new idea of placing APs under seats, a plan that met fierce resistance on many fronts.
“We got beaten up pretty bad over the idea [of under-seat APs],” said Bill Schlough, senior vice president and chief information officer for the Giants, who described the 2012-13 offseason as “a very stressful time,” with lots of internal strife and discord. With multiple stakeholders checking in on the plan, including the Giants’ facilities group, the marketing group and the ticketing group, concerns about the loss of under-seat space and the potential health concerns fueled opposition to putting APs under chairs.
But without any railings or overhangs for most of the park’s lower-bowl seats, Schlough and his team had “no other alternative” than to try placing Wi-Fi APs under seats. On the possible health issue, Schlough said the Giants were assured by technology partner (and ballpark title sponsor) AT&T that the deployment would be safe and comply with all FCC regulations; “We were assured that having [an antenna] 18 inches from your butt was the [radio] equivalent of having a cell phone in your pocket,” Schlough said.
On the storage-space concern side, Schlough said the Giants’ IT team made models of the antennas out of cardboard and duct tape, and placed them under seats to see how they worked.
“The [walking] flow through the aisles was good, with the AP models tucked under we never kicked them” during testing, Schlough said. With AT&T assuring the Giants that under-seat was “the way of the future,” the team took a leap of faith and added a large number of under-seat Wi-Fi APs in preparation for the 2013 | [

A little while ago I featured a unisex t-shirt as part of an outfit post which was created by design collective Teeeshit. Started up by entrepreneurs Jennie Weglin and Razi Kantorp this Stockholm based duo are creating a collection of unisex pieces of fantastic quality, green consciousness and beautiful design. Girl in Menswear caught up with them to find out a bit more about where their inspiration comes from, why Sweden is championing gender-neutrality when it comes to fashion, and what their personal tomboy tale looks like and how its influencing their brand moving forward. Please introduce yourselves. Razi Kantorp CEO and Designer and Jennie Weglin Creative Director and Designer for TeeeSHIT based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Jennie, you’re a fashion designer and Razi your background is graphic design – how did the idea of joining forces to start a clothing label come about? The idea started one and a half years ago when we first met. We spent a whole weekend drinking beers on Razi’s dads balcony and discussing endless possibilities for creativity. We came to the conclusion that we should create a unisex clothing label, and after about a year we finally decided to go ahead with it, and so we printed a few t-shirts with our illustration designs. As Razi could make our webshop it was pretty easy to just get started straight away.
Why did you decide to create a unisex label, rather than an exclusively womenswear one? We are both very passionate about tomboy styling and are both inspired by it. We decided to order our prints on menswear tee’s and not exclude men wearing our stuff too. But our focus is more for women with a tomboy flavour. We both shop for clothes in the menswear sections and we felt underrepresented in womenswear stores. People seem to get more and more non-gender conscious and we aspire to present and push this trend with our brand.
What does it mean to be a design collective versus a brand? One important thing for us is to promote the talented designers we work with and give them credit for their great work. Being a collective also makes all parties more engaged and passionate about what we are doing and so we all play an essential part in the brand itself. There are so many great designers and artists out there that will never even get the chance to do anything, sadly mainly due to a lack of funds, or just the fact that some artists find it difficult to brand themselves.
What are the biggest challenges you have faced, and continue to face launching Teeeshit? Working from home has been the biggest challenge so far. Firstly, living in a small one bedroom flat and liking a LOT of stuff (!) means our house is very crowded! Secondly, it is easy to continue working all night long, rather than dividing time for work and time for rest. This can be positive too though, as working with something that you love is great; There are many late nights, but with with a lot of fun too! Another challenge has been when girls ask for the “girl version” of a tee for example. This isn’t our core customer, and we need to reach a smaller and more niche crowd that likes the concept of pure unisex clothing.
How would you describe your personal style and to what extent is this reflected in the clothes and accessories your create? Razi has always been a tomboy at heart. I think she’s worn a dress once in her life. Jennie has a great interest in girls in menswear (!) and keeps a regular inspiration page on tumbler called black-smith.tumblr.com
The result is that all the clothes we decide to make we would wear ourselves, and we try to fill that hole in the market that we think is missing.
You’ve both travelled and lived in numerous countries, do you draw inspiration from these experiences when designing your range? Living abroad for some time and experiencing other cultures has definitely opened our eyes to the different androgynous ways of dressing, which looks different in Sweden than in other places we have lived. It feels like the unisex way of dressing goes hand in hand with the social matureness of the location.
Everyone is talking about Swedish brands and designers at the moment – what do you think makes Swedish fashion (in particular menswear) different from other countries? The high level of equality between sexes in Sweden, is reflected in what people want and wear. Its ok for women and young girls to be tomboys in many parts of the world, but if boys are feminine it is seen with more conservative eyes. Sweden recently introduced a gender-neutral pronoun for people and objects that don’t identify with a specific sex, this word is hen (not he/han, not she/hon). One of our friends from England was shocked by “all the lesbians in Stockholm” when she first came here. Now she knows they are just Swedish (probably straight) women | [

Definitions of Sustainability and Sustainable Development
Read these short introductions and watch the video lectures that follow. Taking sustainability as meaning "meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of the future," do you think this is an achievable target for the human race to meet, or are our current consumption trends only going to become worse?
Ecologist C. S. Holling forwarded the notion that "Sustainability is the capacity to create, test, and maintain adaptive capability". That adaptive capability arises from the concept that all systems, natural and human, are in constant cycles of creation and destruction, invention and revolution, some of these passing by rapidly, and some quite slow relative to the human time scale. We develop opportunity, and in doing so, we must craft sustainable development.
Holling says, "Sustainable futures are ones in which the basic means of human livelihood get easier, human opportunities become richer, and nature's diversity is more sustained – and not only in the rich parts of the world. Utopian, perhaps, but the resilience of nature and the ingenuity of people would make it feasible, if our institutions and those who utilize and control them had sufficient flexibility and vision".
This is a compelling challenge for our future, as individuals, as communities, and as organizations and institutions of government, commerce, and shared values and purpose. Vision is about changing the world. Visions are exclusively about changes that would happen only because you want to realize them they change an undesirable trajectory. A shared vision can be a powerful motivation towards a positive future. For a sustainable future, our vision must be specific, not fuzzy, and it must couple the human knowledge of the past, while taking action for practical change for our future.
In the end, any vision for a more sustainable future, without action, is meaningless. We must create and own our future by melding our hopes, our dreams, and our aspirations with meaningful, purposeful action. Only then we can say to future generations, our children and our children's children,...yes, we thought of you.
In the late 20th century, "sustainable development" emerged as the appropriate pattern of resource use to guide economic and physical development, within the context of long-view thinking about environmental and social imperatives. While there are no immediate answers or action plans that will ensure global, national, or even local sustainability, there are central organizing principles that can better guide development in a more sustainable direction. Sustainability requires enhanced management of the capital resources we have in our society and on the Earth. The three major types of capital are Natural Capital, Economic Capital, and Social Capital. In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development, also known as the Brundtland Commission defined sustainable development as "meet[ing] the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

Pump controls from Safety Nigeria keep tabs on how each of your heavy-duty pumps is running and whether your system is operating at your required flow rate. Monitor pumps with a required flow rate by incorporating a flow sensor and pump switches. Select a flow switch to redirect liquids to your backup pump when the flow rate drops. Keep pumps from running dry by monitoring the fluid levels in tanks using a float switch, flowmeter or other pump controls.
Pumps are designed for use with specific systems to transfer liquids from one area to another. Sump pumps can remove unwanted water from areas below ground level. Booster pumps can supply water for irrigation systems in agricultural applications. Industrial chemical pumps, or fuel and oil transfer pumps, can keep fluids moving throughout a system for smooth-running components.

Meha Jha described how environmental reporting is being digitally transformed at the 2020 4C HSE conference.
Typical flow measurements for compliance reporting need to be verified every year to every few years based on the local regulations. Traditionally this verification process has required process shutdown and pulling the meter for calibration.
Digital methods for verification have emerge. For Emerson flow measurement instruments including Coriolis and Magnetic flow meters, Smart Meter Verification (SMV) is the method to use while the meter remains in line with the process continuing to operation.
Meha described how Coriolis flow meters work. It produces mass flow-based measurements. The two coils within the meter twist when fluid flows through them. The phase shift of the sine waves between the coils determines the mass flow. See the earlier post, Flow Measurement Solutions for the Refinery Sector Rule Requirements, for Meha’s more detailed description.
SMV generates reports that can be used for environmental reporting such as U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory compliance. These reports can be automatically scheduled to provide records over time.
For magnetic meters, also known as magmeters, Smart Meter Verification can also be applied. Here is what SMV checks for:
Mag meters are comprised of a transmitter and sensor that together measure flow. The magnetic flow meter’s sensor is placed inline and measures an induced voltage generated by the fluid as it flows through a pipe. The transmitter takes the voltage generated by the sensor, converts the voltage into a flow measurement and transmits that flow measurement to a control system.
These meters are well suited for a variety of applications across a range of industries including pulp and paper, metals and mining, water and wastewater, food and beverage, chemical and petrochemical and oil and gas.
By providing a time-stamped verification report, an increasing number of international standards and third-party agencies such as ISO, IEC, AGA, API, NMI and others recognize verification technologies such as SMV as a method to confirm instrument calibration and extend recalibration or proving intervals.
For more on these and other flow measurement technologies, visit the Flow Measurement section on Emerson.com. You can also connect and interact with other flow measurement experts in the Measurement Instrumentation group in the Emerson Exchange 365 community. | [

Seek Out Nutritional Facts
Dog treats are not regulated in the same way as dog food. As a result, companies don’t have to report nutrition facts for treats. If you contact a dog treat company, some may be able to tell you the nutrition breakdown of their products but others truly don’t know. There are even companies that don’t know the calorie count of their treats.

Truck containing lethal radioactive cobalt-6o hijacked in Mexico. Thieves will "without a doubt die" - Altered Dimensions Paranormal
Well this can’t be good… The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency announced today that a pair of thieves in Mexico have stolen a truck containing highly dangerous atomic materials – just the sort of material that would be used with explosives to construct a radioactive dirty bomb. The lethal substance, cobalt-60, was was being transported in specially-designed sealed secure containers and had been previously used in radiation therapy to treat cancer. The truck was transporting the material from a hospital in Tijuana to a waste center when it was stolen on Monday in the town of Tepojaco, just outside Mexico City.

Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas fly off to mystery destination for his birthday
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas were seen boarding a private jet a day before the singer's 30th birthday in a video he posted on social media.
Nick Jonas turns 30 on Friday, September 16, and it seems Priyanka Chopra has something big planned for the singer’s birthday. In a new video posted by Nick to social media on the eve of his birthday, the two can be seen boarding a private jet. Priyanka also shared a picture on her handle ahead of the celebrations. Neither, however, revealed their destination, sparking some speculation among fans. Also read: Priyanka Chopra shares pics with Parineeti Chopra and Malti Marie
Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, Nick Jonas posted a video from an airstrip. He can be seen approaching an aircraft with the camera focused on him. As he reaches the plane, he moves the camera away from him revealing it’s a private jet. We also get a glimpse of Priyanka sitting inside, talking on the phone. The brief glimpse also shows that the plane is decked up for celebrations with a ‘Happy Birthday’ banner hanging as well. Nick then moved the camera back to himself, making a face. He captioned the post, “Here we go… #30.”
Earlier, Priyanka had posted a picture on her Instagram Stories about Nick’s birthday celebrations. The picture included a drink in a glass with some ice along with a customised plaque that read ‘NJ 30’, signifying Nick’s 30th. “Ok it’s that time,” wrote Priyanka alongside the picture, tagging Nick in it.
Fans began speculating on Nick’s picture as to what their destination could be. “I really want to know what she has planned for him. It seems big,” wrote one fan. Another commented, “Looks like the Jonases are going to party hard.” It does seem some big celebrations with friends and family are planned. Priyanka’s friend and socialite Natasha Poonawalla commented on the post, “Sad to have missed it. Happy birthday Nick.”
Nick and Priyanka married in a grand ceremony at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur in December 2018 after dating for seven months. In January 2022, the couple welcomed their first child--daughter Malti Marie--via surrogacy. | [

Poker is a popular card game that can be played by individuals or in groups. It is a competitive and often exciting sport, and the outcome of each hand significantly involves chance. Nevertheless, players can increase their chances of winning by using various skills and strategies.
First, the cards are dealt. The dealer shuffles and deals the appropriate number of cards to each player, one at a time, starting with the player on the left. These cards are then placed face up in a center pot. The player who has the highest card of any suit wins the pot.
The next step is the first betting round, which consists of three stages: the ante, call, and raise. The ante is the initial contribution that each player must make to the pot, typically a small amount of money.
Once the ante has been placed, all players are dealt two additional cards, called hole cards. Depending on the variant of the game being played, these cards may be placed face up or face down.
These cards are then used to construct the best five-card hand possible. The most common hands include straights, flushes, and full houses.
Bluffing is another skill that players can develop in order to improve their odds of winning. It can be very effective, especially when playing against weaker opponents. However, it should be avoided when playing against maniacs or aggressive players.
Betting is also an important skill to develop for the player who is looking to maximize his winnings in a poker game. It can be a powerful strategy because it forces weaker hands to fold, and it can force strong hands to call or raise, thus increasing the value of the pot.
A good bluff can also help a player win a large pot without showing his cards. This is because he can use his cards to trick other players into thinking that he has a better hand than he does.
There are many different ways to bluff, but the most common is to bet when you have a strong hand and then fold when you don’t. This technique can be very useful for a player who is looking to maximize his profit in a poker game, but it can also lead to serious mistakes if you play too much bluffing at the wrong time.
Lastly, it is important to understand that every poker hand is unique. That means that the advice a coach gives about the exact spot where to bet or not to bet isn’t necessarily right.
To begin learning the game of poker, you should try to practice with the lowest stakes available at your local casino. This is the ideal place to start because it allows you to learn and gain confidence while not risking too much. Moreover, you will be able to play against a lot of different types of opponents. | [

The Cannon • The cannon had a crew of about 14 men • each soldier had his own special job • The soldier also had his own tools • jobs ranged from lighting the cannon to calculating the elevation of the cannon • Washington's crew practiced until the job became natural to them • the cannons range was hundreds of yards and was loaded with grape shot • the practice Washington's crew had was definitely worth it • The cannon could take out many enemy soldiers at once.
The Musket,Bayonet and the Rifle The redcoat musket • named for resemblance of a barrel • fired a.75 caliber lead ball accurate to about 75 yards. • soldier carried a pick and brush to clean the weapon The bayonet • transformed musket into deadly spear • good to have a spear when raining because guns were unreliable during bad weather. The Rifle • Rifles were not the first choice during the revolutionary war • While they were more accurate then muskets they were to heavy • they also took a long time to load • also the soldier would be cleaning the musket more than he would be shooting it • Since a bayonet would not connect to the rifle the soldiers had to carry an axe or a tomahawk
Pistol Pistol • Were mostly used by officers and the cavalry. • Were only good at very close range. • Most were smoothbore, meaning there were no grooves on the inside of the barrel to help with accuracy.

Thought it could be fun to share and talk about all things related to playing dynamics! Attack, velocity, only striking the high/low strings, muting strings, etc.
I personally don’t use a pick, and often accentuate the base while letting my index finger strum down and, for whatever reason, using my middle finger in picking out single notes. It’s sorta like strumming and arpeggiating at the same time if that makes any sense.
Due to normally playing outdoors and not thinking too much about things, upon attempting to record songs I discovered the significance of the subtleties of playing dynamics. It’s easy to hit those bass notes too strongly and get really nasty, boomy transients, sometimes near peaking. That often results in a pumping sound when applying compression… not fun for the ears. Folks say how important it is to get things right “at the source,” i.e. when recording and not fixing it later when mixing.
I think learning to control dynamics is a big helper in recording, while I was only thinking about mic placement and gain for so long.
Anybody else have any interesting observations or discoveries regarding dynamics of guitar playing? | [

Super 8 is a new full-featured video recorder that emulates a vintage Super 8 camera on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The app’s creation is tied to the summer movie “Super 8,” which will be released by Paramount Pictures on June 10.
The Super 8 app — which can be downloaded at the iTunes App Store — is free for a limited time.
The app, which is distributed by Paramount Digital Entertainment and was created by app-development newcomer QMx Interactive and Bad Robot Interactive, a division of Bad Robot Productions, allows users to create vintage movies on their Apple mobile devices. Super 8 comes with seven photo-realistic lenses sporting such effects as infrared, chromatic and x-ray. Users can overlay additional filter effects – like light leaks and vignettes – and “age” their film with a random scratch-and-dirt filter. There’s even a frame-shake effect to top off the old-school feel of Super 8-made movies.
Users can collect their shots and arrange or delete them to get that perfect narrative, and send their masterpiece off to be developed (no mailbox required: developing film happens entirely within the app). Once the movie is complete, users are transported to the Super 8 projector room, where pulling down the screen and pressing “Play” on the projector will start their screening. Movies can be shared via e-mail or through social media sites via the iOS’s gallery.
Playing back your movies on the Super 8 projector may reveal missing frames from the Super 8 Editing Room Film.
“Super 8,” the feature film, is a Bad Robot/Amblin Entertainment production, directed by J.J. Abrams from his original script and produced by Steven Spielberg, Abrams and Bryan Burk.
In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.
The film stars Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Gabriel Basso, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee and Zach Mills.

Although kids young and old love this spooky and festive time of year, the fuzziest members of our families aren’t always sniffing out the good times. Here are some tips from our vets to keep your pet happy – and healthy – this All Hallows’ Eve.
All forms of chocolate are very dangerous to dogs and cats so if Fido or kitty gets into the kid’s candy stash, err on the side of caution and
l your vet or poison control. If your pet begins to vomit, have diarrhea, shows increased breathing or heart rate take action. Another common candy ingredient, xylitol, is also dangerous, even in very small amounts.
Even candies that are chocolate- and xylitol-free can lead to a very dangerous condition called pancreatitis, if ingested in large enough am
ounts, and varieties such as lollipops can provide choking and internal blocking risks, from sticks and wrappers.
If you’re looking for a safe, thematic alternative try pumpkin dog treats! Homemade is always best, and surprisingly easy; make sure to use real pumpkin even when canned, never pumpkin pie filling.
Remember; never pass those less-than-savory treats, like boxes of raisins, onto pets. Raisins (and grapes) are very poisonous to dogs and can cause kidney failure. | [

Ever wonder how sometimes people still get through security with explosives on their person? Research done in the University of Alberta's Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering has revealed a new way to better detect these molecules associated with explosive mixtures.
A team of researchers including post-doctoral fellows Seonghwan Kim, Dongkyu Lee and Xuchen Liu, with research associate Charles Van Neste, visiting professor, Sangmin Jeon from the Pohang University of Science and Technology (South Korea), and Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering professor Thomas Thundat, has found a method of using receptor-free nanomechanical infrared spectroscopy to increase recognition of chemical molecules in explosive mixtures.
Detecting trace amounts of explosives with mixed molecules presents a formidable challenge for sensors with chemical coatings. The nanomechanical infrared spectroscopy used by the Univesity of Alberta research team provides higher selectivity in molecular detection by measuring the photothermal effect of the absorbed molecules.
Thundat, who holds the Canadian Excellence Research Chair in Oil Sands Molecular Engineering, says the spectroscopy looks at the physical nature of the molecule and "even if there are mixed molecules, we can detect specific molecules using this method."
Seonghwan (Sam) Kim explained that conventional sensors based on coatings generally cannot detect specific molecules in complex mixtures if the concentration of interfering molecules is five times greater than the target molecules. The detection sensitivity and selectivity are drastically increased using the high-power infrared laser because the photothermal signal comes from the absorption of infrared photons and nonradiative decay processes. Using this method, a few trillionths of a gram of explosive molecules can now be detected in a complex mixture even if there is a higher concentration of other interfering molecules.
The research team's findings are published in Scientific Reports by Nature Publishing Group on January 23, 2013.
The research team's current work looks at detecting biomolecules and hydrocarbons in the oil industry and nerve gas stimulants (DMMP), which can be found in household radiators, gasoline, and fabric softeners, for example. The team also hopes to develop a hand-held device for chemical detection that could be utilized in fields such as security, health care and environmental protection.

Amplify Jumbo Waver*
I like to start with packaging. If you read my blog you will know that I am a real sucker for a bit of nice packaging and this product has really pushed the boat out in that department.
The top pictures shows the box with the cardboard sleeve around it. The sleeve has product information and some pictures of the tool in use on reverse. Underneath the sleeve is the gorgeous, sturdy blue box. I have since discarded the sleeve but I am using the box to store the product and it's extras.
The first thing I noticed about the jumbo waver is the size of it. It's much bigger than any other hair tool I have. I have long hair and find curling tongs time consuming and tricky because I have to use tiny pieces of hair. With this tool I can style large pieces of hair in seconds.
Inside the box you get the waver, a heat resistant matt which also acts as a case and a style guide. I read the style guide but found that the video clips on the website were even more helpful to me.
The barrels are titanium plated for snag free styling. The handle holds both the on and off switch and a dial for adjusting the heat. The waver heats up very quickly and holds a high constant heat. The barrels of the waver are large at 25mm to allow for large, s-shaped waves. These an be used to create various looks such as the mermaid look or messy, rock chick waves.
This tool is so easy to use. The 3m swivel cord means you have lots of movement when using the waver. I have used this in several different ways; using small pieces of hair for a more dramatic look or large chunks for everyday waves.
My favourite look to use is the everyday waves. This takes me 5 minutes using large pieces of hair. Apologies for the strange picture!
I have poker straght hair and getting a look like this is usually really hard work! The above style took me 5 minutes and stayed in all day.
I shared this with my friends on Facebook and 3 friends ordered it that night! It really is a great product that can be used in many ways and is really quick and super easy to use. This retails at £60 but is currently £40 in the Boots sale! It is available in high street retailers such as Boots, Superdrug and Argos. | [

So what does that say about macro? Since the late 70s, nearly all of the models used by macroeconomists have been "rational expectations" models. "Rational expectations" is the idea that people don't make systematic mistakes when predicting the future. If you think that sounds a bit silly, you're not alone, but I kid you not when I say that rational expectations absolutely dominates modern macro.
But if expectations aren't rational in financial markets, why should they be rational in the economy as a whole? The answer is that they shouldn't. This is why Thomas Sargent, who won the Nobel Prize this year and who helped develop the theory of rational expectations, calls himself a "Harrison-Kreps Keynesian." Keynes, though he is usually associated with the idea of fiscal stimulus, was a professional stock speculator, and perceived clearly the irrationality of the markets in which he participated; Sargent is merely recognizing that financial market irrationality, which was formalized by Harrison and Kreps, is a huge hint that rational expectations is not going to get the job done in macro either.
Read the whole post at NoahpinionHarrison & Kreps 1978: The power of irrational expectations
by Noah Smith
(h/t Keven Fathi via email)
Some good comments too.
Smith points out that Keynes was a trader. Unlike many academic economists he was familiar with how financial markets actually operate based on trader psychology. He understood "uncertainty" based on personal experience with skin in the game. He also was aware of the many factors that affect traders in addition to those studied by academics when they consider markets. This shaped his views on macro that make the Keynesian approach to macro different from the approach based on rational expectations modeling.
I would suggest to traders and those interested in the cognitive-affective aspects of trading, along with the biases involves, that they take a look at Behavioral Finance and Wealth Management: How to Build Optimal Portfolios That Account for Investor Biases by Michael M. Pompian ((Wiley Finance, 2006). | [

Jennifer Lawrence had her princess moment last night, appearing at the Venice Film Festival premiere of Mother! in Christian Dior couture. Switching things up, tonight’s ensemble was all about alluding to skin. Lawrence arrived at the Odeon Cinema at Leicester Square sporting her most daring red carpet look to date, a barely there frock from Atelier Versace. It was a stark departure for the Oscar winner, who typically prefers more romantic fare from Dior.
The dress, a web of silver and white strands, mimicked a look first worn by Kim Kardashian West last September at Balmain’s runway show. The net-like details similarly enveloped Lawrence’s physique. She kept the rest of her look minimal with hardly any jewelry and coordinating strappy sandals for a clean finish.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) released a new mobile application for the iPhone today that provides detailed airport information, aviation weather, and flight planning capability, free to AOPA members. The new app, AOPA FlyQ, replaces the popular AOPA Airports app and is now available for download through Apple’s App Store.
“AOPA Airports has been extremely popular with our members, with more than 60,000 users since its launch in 2009,” said Chris Ward, AOPA vice president, eMedia. “AOPA FlyQ brings even more value to the AOPA member by incorporating a fast and elegant user experience, aviation weather, and intelligent flight planning capabilities that will make flight planning smarter and more convenient.”
Developed in partnership with Seattle Avionics, AOPA FlyQ dramatically improves the airport directory function in the previous app and extends it with robust and easy-to-use flight planning capabilities, enhanced by local and national weather information.
At the core of AOPA FlyQ’s elegant functionality is its advanced auto-routing flight planning capability. AOPA FlyQ simplifies flight planning by requiring users to input only a flight’s origination and destination points. The application will then optimize the route based on forecast winds aloft and aircraft performance parameters.
“AOPA FlyQ was developed by pilots for pilots. We understand the unique challenges aviators face creating flight plans and flying their aircraft because we have faced them ourselves. We were able to work with Seattle Avionics, which is also pilot-led, to distill our combined knowledge into a product that we expect our members will find indispensable,” Ward said.
In addition to the flight planning capabilities, AOPA FlyQ delivers local and national weather information, including METARs, TAFs, radar, and more, as well as all of the features and content previously available through AOPA Airports. The app also includes vital details on more than 5,300 public-use landing facilities; 7,000 FBOs and aviation-related businesses; and more than 55,000 restaurants and transportation services.
AOPA Airports will continue to operate and be available for new downloads for Blackberry and Windows Mobile device users. AOPA members using AOPA Airports will automatically receive an invitation to download the new app free of charge. An active AOPA Membership and an AOPA Online username and password are required to use AOPA FlyQ. For more information please visit www.aopa.org/flyqiphone. | [

Watching a fashion show can be hectic — the flashing lights, the models, people running around like mad. Sometimes it’s easy to forget to look down at the models’ feet. Luckily, we spotted some photos that capture the footwear just moments before the models hit the runway.
Often, backstage is the place to see the beautiful detail that adorns much of the Fashion Week footwear. Take Giambattista Valli’s sandals, for example. With the models stomping their way down the runway, it was hard to see the glitter and beads decorating the heels of the multi-strap block-heel sandals. Backstage, those details were perfectly clear.
At Diane von Furstenberg, the photographer captured the clear and colored heels on the designer’s multihued strappy sandals. At Angel Sanchez a beautiful, springy scene was created when models posed together with the designer’s multicolored, oversized flower mules.

1. A capillary of diameter dmm is dipped in water such that the water rises to a height of 30mm. If the radius of the capillary is made (2/3) of its previous value, then compute the height up to which water will rise in the new capillary?
(Answer: 45 mm)
2. A cylinder of length 1.5 m and diameter 4 cm is fixed at one end. A tangential force of 4 × 105 N is applied at the other end. If the rigidity modulus of the cylinder is 6 × 1010 N m-2 then, calculate the twist produced in the cylinder.
Length of a cylinder = 1.5 m
Diameter = 4 cm; Tangential force F - 4 × 105N
Rigidity modulus η = 6 × 1010 Nm-2
Twist produced θ =?
θ = 0.053 × 10-1 = 53 × 10-4
3. A spherical soap bubble A of radius 2 cm is formed inside another bubble B of radius 4 cm. Show that the radius of a single soap bubble which maintains the same pressure difference as inside the smaller and outside the larger soap bubble is lesser than radius of both soap bubbles A and B.
Excess pressure create with S.T of spherical surface of the liquid = ΔP = 2T/R
T - surface tension
In case of soap bubbles,
The excess pressure of air inside them is double due to the presence of two interfaces are inside and one outside.
Excess pressure of air inside the bigger bubble
Excess pressure of air inside the smaller bubble 4s 4T
Air pressure difference between the smaller bubble and the atmosphere will be equal toll sum of excess pressure inside the bigger smaller bubbles.
Pressure different ΔP = ΔPb + ΔPs
= T + 2T = 3T
Excess pressure inside a single soap bubble = 4T/R = 4T/4 = T
Pressure difference of single soap bubble less than radius of both T < 3T
4. A block of Ag of mass x kg hanging from a string is immersed in a liquid of relative density 0.72. If the relative density of Ag is 10 and tension in the string is 37.12 N then compute the mass of Ag block.
Relative density of liquid ρliquid = 0.72
Relative density of Ag ρAg = 10
Mass of the Ag block =?
Tension in the string T = 37.12 N
Apparent weight Wapp = pAg - pliquid
= 10-0.72 = 9.28
m = TAg / g
m = 37.12 / 9.28 = 4
Mass x = 4 kg
(Answer: x = 4 kg)
5. The reading of pressure meter attached with a closed pipe is 5 × 105 N m-2. On opening the valve of the pipe, the reading of the pressure meter is 4.5 × 105 Nm-2. Calculate the speed of the water flowing in the pipe.
(Answer: 10 ms-1)
1. Why coffee runs up into a sugar lump (a small cube of sugar) when one corner of the sugar lump is held in the liquid?
(i) If sugar cube is dropped into liquid the outermost layer has to dissolve first, then next layer, then next until the whole sugar is dissolved.
(ii) The coffee runs up into the pores of sugar lump due to capillary action of the liquid.
2. Why two holes are made to empty an oil tin?
When oil comes out from a hole of an oil tin, pressure inside it decreased than the atmosphere. Therefore, the surrounding air rush up into the same hole prevents the oil to come out. Hence two holes are made to empty the oil tin.
3. We can cut vegetables easily with a sharp knife as compared to a blunt knife. Why?
Since the stress produced on the vegetables by the sharp knife is higher than the blunt knife, vegetables can be cut easily with the sharp knife.
4. Why the passengers are advised to remove the ink from their pens while going up in an aeroplane?
When an aero-plane ascends, the atmospheric pressure is decreased. Hence, the ink from the pen will leak out. So that, the passengers are advised to remove the ink from their pens while going up in the aero-plane.
5. We use straw to suck soft drinks, why?
When we suck the soft drinks through the straw, the pressure inside the straw becomes less than the atmospheric pressure. Due to the difference in pressure, the soft drink rises in the straw and we are able to enjoy it conveniently.
Within the elastic limit, the stretching strain produced in wires A, B, and C due to stress is shown in the figure. Assume the load applied are the same and discuss the elastic property of the material.
Write down the elastic modulus in ascending order. | [

Mighty Math takes the famed mathematics curriculum of Singapore and amps it up for adapting to international schooling standards in the best possible way. Their operations began in Singapore and their fame took them beyond the shores to Malaysia. Operating in several franchise model centres across both locations, they combine the exceptional curriculum of Singapore which has over the years built its reputation in international mathematics competitions, with modern franchise-based business management techniques of the United States to deliver high quality results.
Brief History of Mighty Math Tuition Centre
Developed in accordance with latest MOE syllabus in 2007, the Mighty Math centres take into account not just the basic mathematics and problem-solving but focus on empowering the students with greater degree of computational skills, conceptual approach to problems, building foundation techniques, thinking skills and enhancing natural problem-solving abilities. Mighty Math’s reputation has however, suffered a wee bit as their rapid franchising shows dilution of their business model.
As a maths enrichment strategy, Mighty Math teaching methodology is focused on adding the skills which would train the young minds to think beyond merely exam-based scoring, making the possibility of attaining positive results higher for any mathematical exercise. Their programs are fine-tuned using feedback from educators, regular reviews and surveys of parents and students as well as seeing the general trend of PSLE, GCE and exam questioning patterns.
Pre-schoolers, Kindergarten Maths Programme: It is a well-known fact, the journey for academic excellent performance of a child, depends on how he or she was nurtured from the grassroots education (nursery, kindergarten etc.). Solely designed for preschool children, this program focuses on basic pattern, shape and number recognition giving them early foundations of math and calculations. The highlight of this programme is to develop the elementary reckoning ability of the students as well as prepare them ahead for primary education courses. This programme ensures that students will be cognizant with the foundations of primary arithmetic such as addition and subtraction with the help of number bond. The tutors are friendly, patient and passionate with children. The patterns, basic cognitive learning methods etc. ensures the reinforcement of the creative thinking and improves memorizing ability of the pupils.
Primary Math Programme: It is designed for students in post-kindergarten ranging from primary 1 to primary 6. Despite being within MOE guidelines it provides major impetus on developing confidence and critical thinking ability in tackling both routine and non-routine mathematics problems with heuristics approach. Intensive preparatory class for students that are preparing for PSLE Math paper, value-addition lessons aimed at preparing for Olympiads and competitions etc. are also part of early grooming in this course. In this programme, the students will be taught on how to utilize examination time and tackle questions in order to score high. Past PSLE math questions are solved in this programme, as well as efficient computation techniques and alternative approaches are taught.
Colorful manipulations and adaptive teaching -Teaching, for Mighty Math is not about blindly going through the coursework for each student, rather manipulating the course to adapt to personal needs. Several students have better visual memory and retention and teachers are passionate enough to introduce colours or cognitive patterns so the students can pick up their cues and retain the relevant information and relate later.
Primary Upper (P5-P6) $90/week (three classes per week, 1hrs) $140/ week (three classes per week, 1.5-2 hrs) – intensive coaching
“Hayden has been enjoying his lessons since day one. He has improved tremendously in Math and has gained great confidence when solving problem sums. I reckon that good foundation is essential, as such; I have enrolled my younger son in Mighty Math beginning of the year. I will recommend anyone who has difficulty and does not enjoy Math as a school subject before, to attend Mighty math programme. You will not regret it” – Hyzel Ong (parent)
“I was happy with the Mighty Math program to help my son understand the concepts of addition and subtraction through number bonds. It will really give him a head-start in primary 1. However I must say, since I’ve moved to my new place, the closest Mighty Math centre, including their teaching and management staff is a bit below their standards in Serangoon Gardens centre. I will see out this term, as long as the results show up well.” – Mrs. Grace Phua (parent) and Brendon Phua (children)
Mighty Math is still growing as a math enrichment program in the Singapore educational domain. It does well in terms of bringing together the best of eastern curriculum and western management techniques to build a rapidly growing franchise model. It’d be important however, that they don’t lose sight of their basic educational plan, since a number of branches do show some level of disparity in terms of what they deliver in results. Overall, the vibe is good, but | [

[Stoves] Metals in biofuels
tmiles at trmiles.com
Tue Jan 27 18:55:12 CST 2009
For evaluating potential problems for slagging and fouling in gasifiers and
combustors (e.g. stoves) we use ten elements in the ash reported as oxides:
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is measured to estimate losses on fusion.
We measure total chloride in the fuel and of source sulfur. These elements
volatilize during combustion and can cause fusion and deposits.
You can see how we use these analyses in the report, "Alkali Deposits in
Biomass Boiler", TRM Miles 1995 lined from my website www.trmiles.com or
directly at http://www.trmiles.com/alkali/alkali.htm
Many thanks for your help with the Gasifier Experimenters Kit (GEK) at ETHOS
this weekend. It was a big distraction for Charlie to set it up but I think
it was worthwhile.

This is a new creation by SID. The Jeep MJ in ZoneOffroad theme. It features two choices in tires, a jack and spare tires to match the tires truck is using. It has amazing detailed decal on it for ZoneOffroad. Handles like it looks, it can take on any trail and with the right driver get it done.
NOTE: This was a test drive i did for SID to shake out any defects. Managed to eventually crash the car but not before i found a couple of small bits and pieces that needed fixing. SID is fixing those in the coming days and when finished the truck will be available or through his Steam channel.

Ty's Take: West Fargo waxes, wanes in week of competition
With the spring prep sports season on its downward slope, a pecking order of sorts has emerged between teams.
In most cases, Packers are holding their own across the board; teams that have struggled are bouncing back, and those that have held their own all season generally are sitting pretty.
Look at West Fargo track and field, for example.

Angry villagers have condemned mindless vandals who have damaged nearly half the trees in a wood that was only planted this year.
Parish councillor Alan Brown and Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator Jean Fawcett helped to raise some £2,500 to plant the Millennium Field in Church Road, Baginton.
But early on Tuesday morning Mrs Fawcett received the heartbreaking news that 19 of the 45 trees had been attacked in what she believes was a deliberate crime against the community.
Police are appealing for information about the incident which happened overnight on Monday or early Tuesday. They are hoping film from a security camera on a nearby property may yield some clues.
Mrs Fawcett says vandals brutally bent over or snapped the semi-mature trees and saplings in a mindless act of destruction.
She would like to see the perpetrators put to work replanting when they are caught.
Yesterday she vowed: "These thugs will not get the better of Baginton - we're stronger than that."
Baginton parish councillor Alan Brown said: "It is very, very upsetting and very disappointing.
"The villagers have put their money forward and made a great effort with the field and these vandals then come along and just create havoc.
"A lot of people have spent a lot of time planting bulbs, planting trees and putting their commitment and effort into the development of the field. This is a major setback.
"I would ask these vandals to think hard about what they are trying to achieve and why they do things that are so damaging to the community."
He said remedial work and replanting at the site had already started.
Mr Brown has appealed for anyone who has information about the attack to contact Baginton beat bobby PC Mike Everall at Kenilworth police station on: 01926 415000. | [

NITROGEN PUMP SERVICES
Nitrogen pumping unit is a highly sophisticated device which performs several simultaneous functions in order to convert nitrogen from liquid to a gaseous phase.
Firstly the nitrogen unit is fed with liquid nitrogen at a temperature of –196 C. It then pumps the liquid nitrogen to high pressure before it supplies heat to transform the liquid nitrogen into a gaseous phase.
All the necessary power to perform the above operation is supplied by a diesel engine, while a sophisticated heat recovery system supplies the required thermal power.
Hydraulic pump power and liquid nitrogen heat are supplied via the diesel engine power pack.
The system converts heat energy into the engine coolant system to obtain heat for the liquid nitrogen vaporisation process.
The liquid nitrogen is pressurised by the reciprocating pistons of the triplex pump to the required downstream pressure, the high pressure liquid nitrogen then flows through the nitrogen vaporiser and is vaporised to gaseous nitrogen.
The vaporiser coolant system and discharge temperature should be maintained by the pump operator at typical levels of 60 C and 20 C.
The heat balance between the hydraulically loaded engine and the nitrogen vaporisation circuit is obtained by heat transfer through a plate heat exchanger.
The engine coolant is maintained in all conditions by thermostatic control of the coolant flow to either the engine coolant pump or to an air blast radiator.
Increased engine loading is achieved using a hydraulic vane pump (heat load), the load applied is operator controlled by activation of the sequence valve. This process is used during periods of high pump rates to ensure coolant water temperature is maintained for the nitrogen vaporisation process.
Closed loop hydraulic system: this system uses separate hydraulic pumps for the triplex pump drive and heat load, this system allows the heat load to be applied independently of the operation of the triplex pump.
Triplex pump drive is obtained using a variable flow high pressure piston hydraulic pump. | [

Experts make Eagles-Redskins predictions
Eagles (5-5) vs. Redskins (3-6)
1 p.m., FOX
Eagles by 4½
The Eagles' 10-game home losing streak is so absurd, one has to wonder if the Birds eventually make the postseason whether it might be worth it to request the game be played on the road.
It's already the longest skid in franchise history, and another loss would tie it for the seventh-longest ever (see story).
It has to end today, right?
If it does, the Eagles will find themselves in sole possession of first place in the NFC East, and the Redskins will essentially be eliminated from postseason contention at three wins and a tiebreaker back of the Birds in the division.
If you're going to the game, just make sure you don't boo — DeSean Jackson & Co. want none of that. Keep it positive in the stands, he requested (see story).
1. Where do they rank?
Offense: 413 yards per game (4th), 260 passing (9th), 154 rushing (1st)
Defense: 417 yards per game (31st), 307 passing (31st), 111 rushing (14th)
Turnovers: 17 takeaways (T-10th), 15 giveaways (T-16th), plus-2 differential (T-12th)
Offense: 410 yards per game (5th), 259 passing (10th), 151 rushing (3rd)
Defense: 389 yards per game (27th), 275 passing (26th), 114 rushing (18th)
Turnovers: 16 takeaways (T-12th), 16 giveaways (T-18th), even differential (T-15th)
By the numbers, the Eagles and Redskins match up almost identically: high-powered offenses with top rushing attacks and above-average passing games, and poor defenses with particularly porous secondaries.
One of the biggest differences between the two teams comes in the red zone, where Washington scores touchdowns 64.5 percent of the time — fourth-best in the league. The Eagles are next-to-last at 41.9 percent. On defense, however, the Eagles allow TDs at just a 50 percent rate (eighth-best) while the Redskins give up six 66.7 percent of the time (second-worst).
The Eagles average 25.2 points per game; the Redskins average 25.5. On defense, the Eagles have allowed 24.4 points on average and no more than 21 in each of their last six games. Washington has allowed 31.9 per game (second-most in the league to Jacksonville) and at least 24 in each of their last five.
2. Can Foles keep it up?
He's thrown 16 touchdowns without a pick, tied an NFL record with seven in a single game and owned a passer rating of 100 or better in four of his last five games. If he throws for five more scores without an interception, he'll break Peyton Manning's record of 20 set earlier this season.
It's been 173 passes since his last pick, which came against the Redskins in his final start last year. Foles obviously can't keep this up forever, but there's a good chance it continues against Washington.
The Redskins' passing defense gives up 275 yards per outing and has yielded 19 TDs through the air, fourth-most in the league. Most recently, the unit allowed Christian Ponder to complete 81 percent of his passes and throw for two scores in a loss to Minnesota.
3. Shutting down RG3
Robert Griffin III is a much improved quarterback since the Eagles last saw him, when he was barely mobile in the season opener.
After averaging just 18 yards through four games, RG3 has run for 46 yards per game in his last five contests. He's still looking for his first rushing TD, however.
And as he's gotten his legs back under him, RG3 has been better through the air. He's completed at least 60 percent of his passes and thrown for at least 280 yards in three of his last four. In his career against the Eagles, RG3 has thrown for 727 yards on 70 percent passing, eight TDs and three picks in three games.
Griffin and the Redskins probably present the toughest task for the Eagles' defense since they faced Manning and the Broncos in Week 4.
4. Hand Shady the rock
LeSean McCoy ran all over the Redskins in the season opener for 184 yards on 31 carries and a TD. It still stands as the top rushing game in the league this season. In fact, McCoy deserves credit for three of the top five rushing performances.
The NFL's leading rusher had slowed down in recent weeks before exploding for 155 yards on 25 attempts in last | [

Converse and New Era? This looks like a pretty interesting collaboration. To be more specific though, it’s Converse Japan behind this new partnership. In terms of design, the classic All Star Hi draws inspiration from New Era’s 59Fifty caps and features an embroidered logo from both brands around the upper. Look for this to be released in Japan in July 2012. | [

The Mill Valley 10s Little League All-Stars advanced to the semifinal game of the Section 1 Tournament on Monday with its second straight win in the losers bracket, a 9-6 victory over Mark West.
Starter Nickolas Welter struck out eight and allowed just two hits in four innings. He left the game with Mill Valley holding a 7-2 lead before Mark West started to rally. Mark West scored four runs in the sixth inning to make it 7-6, and likely would have scored more if not for the efforts of Davis Marshall.
He entered with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth and got Mill Valley out of the jam with its 7-6 lead intact. His 1.2 innings of scoreless work were key to helping Mill Valley stave off elimination.
Ty Cerne played great defense and went 2 for 4 with four RBIs and Adam Mortimer doubled and drove in two runs.
Mill Valley will face either Sonoma or North Oakland in the semifinal on Tuesday at 7 p.m. If it wins, it must win two straight games against the best team in the winner’s bracket to claim the title.
Mill Valley dropped its opener 3-2 to North Oakland but beat Woodland American 16-5 on Sunday.
After building a 10-1 lead through three and a half innings, the San Rafael Pacifics hunkered down and weathered a furious comeback from the Monterey Amberjacks to hang on for an 11-10 win on Sunday.
The Pacifics (13-15) put four runs on the board in each of the first and third innings to jump ahead early before the Amberjacks (11-18) responded in kind, plating eight runs between the fourth and sixth inning. The teams then traded solo runs in the eighth before Michael Theisen closed things out for San Rafael with a two-inning save.
Theisen also hit a pair of doubles at the plate, just one of several standout offensive performances from the Pacifics. Dalys Binder racked up four hits with three runs, Beau Dorman had two doubles and an RBI, Corey Davis drove in two runs while Ben Tsui hit a solo home run and Austin Fitzpatrick added a three-run shot.
- The Novato Knicks picked up an 8-5 win over the Santa Rosa A’s on Sunday. Jason Franks was the winning pitcher with four strikeouts and no earned runs in his five innings on the mound. Riley Cronin and Jack Morkin each drove in a pair of runs while Desmond Gates went 2 for 4 with two runs scored. | [
