"The writer discusses the concept of kitsch. Having reviewed a variety of approaches to kitsch, he posits an historical conception of it, connecting it to modernity and defining it as a coping-mechanism for modernity. He thus suggests that kitsch is best understood as a tool in the struggle against the particular stresses of the modern world and that it uses materials at hand, fashioning from them some sort of stability largely through projecting images of nature, stasis, and continuity. (...) He discusses the relation of kitsch to fine art, arguing that fine art also has as its primary function a counter-movement to modernity. He suggests that the main difference between fine art and kitsch is that fine art, as well as its emotional function, also involves a reception context that allows it to assume an intellectual task. Among the writer's conclusions, he finds that positing a stark or absolute contrast between kitsch and fine art is unjustifiable as both have the same roots and objectives." [WilsonWeb]. (shrink)
Strauss championed a philosophy of history according to which philosophers characteristically hide their actual beliefs when writing about ethics and politics. This paper begins by suggesting that an esoteric philosophy of history encourages a set of specific biases when writing histories of philosophy. Proponents of esotericism are liable to be far too ready to conclude that philosophers intended to hide their beliefs; they are likely to be insufficiently attuned to the varied contexts in which philosophers write; and they are likely (...) to be too ready to assimilate the beliefs of philosophers to a norm. Thereafter the paper considers the presence of these biases in Strauss's account of modernity. Strauss allows for waves of modernity but he defines these waves as part of a single, monolithic project that is defined in contrast to the esoteric character of ancient philosophy and that leads inexorably to nihilism. Once we correct for the biases mentioned above, however, modernity appears as a series of projects located in specific contexts and confronting particular dilemmas. Again, where Strauss presents our own era as one of crisis, this revised account of modernity suggests that we merely confront the more local issue of how to forge a community out of self-governing individuals.

Unlike some western scholars who limit their interpretation of modernity and its source to conceptual, cultural, value, and psychological dimensions, Marx pointed out that modernity came mainly from modern production system. Starting from the historical context of his time, Marx explored various aspects of modernity and pointed out that modernity was inherent in the logic of capital, resided in the process of historical evolution, arose in social conflicts and segmentation, and presented itself in a global horizon. (...) The logic of capital, the historical viewpoint, the theory of contradiction and a global perspective are fundamental in Marx's analysis of the problems of modernity. Marx's ideas of modernity are methodologically significant to the construction of modernity in contemporary Chinese society. (shrink)
This paper discusses Jeffrey Stout's thesis that modern societies are "secular," not in the sense that religion has disappeared from them, but in a procedural sense having to do with what can properly be assumed by participants in moral or political discussion. I endorse this thesis, but argue that Stout employs a notion of justification (with regard to moral belief), which leans too far toward descriptivism or relativism. As an alternative account of the status of religion within "the hypercontext, (...) class='Hi'>modernity," I commend Kant's view of the religious attitude as a fundamentally ethical one, destined eventually to dispense with any "historical vehicle" in the form of revealed doctrine or supernaturalism. Stout's discussion is weakened by its retreat from commitment to the unity of practical reason, though it does pay illuminating tribute to the democratic values of civility and attentiveness.

Orthodox Christianity has often been understood as not pertaining to Modernity due to its different historical and theological trajectory. This essay disputes such a view with regard to 20th century Orthodox thought, which it examines from the point of view of a sociology of Modernity in order to identify where Orthodox thinkers of the Russian Diaspora and in Russia today position themselves in relation to modern society and philosophy. Two essentially modern positions within Orthodoxy are singled out: an (...) institutional and an ontological response to the modernist paradigm. (shrink)
If modernity is manifested as essentialism, postmodernity is manifested as anti-essentialism. Modernity is, in essence, human beings’ discovery of their own power, and is based on rational knowledge that has grasped the essence of things. In fact, in the discourse system of modernity, the various concepts of “essence” connote nothing but people’s imaginative constructions and rational conjectures about objects. In the past, our order, be it internal or external, was in essence guaranteed by God. Afterwards, | [

This is a video on growing sweet potato plants in your own garden.
1. Spread bone meal in bed. You want to cover the box with enough bone meal that it makes a nice dusting.
2. Use garden rake or tiller to mix it in the soil.
3. Smooth the soil nicely.
4. Plant your sweet potatoes about a foot apart. Dig the holes about 4 inches deep. (Don’t plant too early. Sweet potato plants do not like cold weather.)
5. Sprinkle fertilizer around them. Use 10x10x10. (10% nitrogen/ 10% phosphorus/ 10% pot ash.)
6. Water your plants and keep an eye on them throughout the growing season.

Live Scores and More: Cal Varsity Rugby on Twitter
BERKELEY - Former California All-Americans Blaine Scully and Colin Hawley have accepted contracts funded by the United States Olympic Committee to train full-time at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., with the U.S. National 7s Team.
By accepting these contracts, Scully and Hawley have placed themselves among the first-ever players to sign such deals with USA Rugby.
"We are both incredibly honored to be chosen for the USOC/USA Rugby contracts," said Scully, who, with Hawley, played for the U.S. in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. "It is a validation for us as athletes and tremendous because this selection makes us an integral part to rugby's move into the Olympic arena."
Rugby Sevens is set to be reintroduced as a medal sport at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The U.S. won gold medals in rugby at the 1920 and 1924 Summer Games with six Golden Bears on those teams.
While several former Bears have enjoyed contracted opportunities overseas, Scully and Hawley are the first two Cal rugby alumni to secure a domestic financial agreement.
"I never thought I would have the opportunity to be a home-based professional for the United States," said Hawley. "The feeling is surreal and I just want to do this opportunity justice by giving it my all."
The contracts enable their recipients to train in the high-performance environment provided by the OTC and maintain a centralized residence in San Diego, giving them access to "amenities to be successful athletes competing on the world stage," Scully said. "The infrastructure in place there not only helps athletes achieve their potential, but puts people on the podium."
Both players thank their Cal experience for their continued success.
"As a member of the Cal rugby program, professionalism is expected, sport is a study and being a member of a high-performance team has real value," said Scully. "Any success in my career can be attributed to my time at Cal. "
Added Hawley: "Current Cal ruggers and all of the up-and-coming rugby players in America can take confidence in the fact that opportunities for a professional rugby career are on the rise in the U.S. This is a huge step forward which proves rugby is pioneering into new and exciting territory and I believe the future is a bright one."
Cal head coach Jack Clark said, "These two boys are perfect Cal ambassadors to rugby's Olympic aspirations. It is a red-letter day for our rugby program."
The 2012 Rugby Bears moved into the Olympic Wing of the Simpson Center for Student-Athlete High Performance on the campus of the University of California this past autumn.
Scully, Hawley and their teammates on the U.S. National 7s Team next assemble to prepare for the IRB 7s World Series starting Feb. 3-4 in Wellington, New Zealand, and continuing Feb. 10-12 in Las Vegas. | [

Tiny newborn kitten was found alone, without a mother, but he first found a foster father, who was able to give him love. It was early in the morning. A girl named Christine found a tiny kitten who needed motherly love and care.
His eyes had not yet opened, it was very small, hungry and all alone. Kristina brought the baby to her house. And then her cat benny, without hesitation, took it and began to wash and take care of him like her own kitten. Kristina was amazed to see such kindness and love from her cat.
Benny was born to a rescued cat, Christine took him in along with his mom. On its words of, she saved many cats, and Pain always cared about them. He never wanted to break up with his new dad. Kristina fed him from a bottle all day, and Beni was always there – he washed the baby and arranged it for him to sleep. | [

Boris Johnson still does not believe he broke any lockdown rules at alleged Downing Street parties, as Westminster awaits Sue Gray’s bombshell report into the scandal.
The senior civil servant’s appraisal of the allegations about rule-breaking in Number 10 is expected to be published this week.
But polling for the newspaper suggests that the vast majority of Brits have already made up their minds about the allegations, regardless of what Gray’s report concludes.
‘He’s feeling determined’
The prime minister reportedly spent the weekend making calls to Tory MPs seeking to shore up support before Gray’s findings are published.
“He’s feeling determined,” one loyal MP said. “He genuinely believes that he didn’t break any rules and that he was going to the garden [on May 20, 2020] to say thank you.”
But Johnson’s allies are said to be resigned to the fact that Gray’s report will make a series of damaging claims about the conduct of those working in Downing Street at the height of the pandemic.
“Clearly there was a culture and clearly that culture was wrong,” one ally told The Times.
“But the prime minister was not in No 10 for many of these events, he didn’t know about them, and while it’s perfectly proper to hold the prime minister to account for things that he is responsible for, are we really going to ask the prime minister to resign because some people organised a party that he didn’t know about? It’s an argument about proportion.”
Members of Johnson’s teams are said to have approached Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker, to ask whether the prime minister could immediately go to the dispatch box after Gray publishes her report, regardless of what Commons business is planned.
Officials are keen for him to speak on the same day as the findings are released. “If it’s leaning towards a difficult finding then you don’t want an overnight period for a narrative to build,” a minister said.
But 51 per cent of voters already believe that Johnson should resign whatever Gray’s report says – including 26 per cent of those who voted Conservative in 219.
Angela Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, said the report “must be published in its entirety with all the accompanying evidence”, adding that Johnson “cannot be allowed to cover up or obscure any of the truth”.
It was reported on Sunday night that Gray has interviewed police officers who guarded Downing Street while gatherings took place, with their testimony said to be especially damning. | [

The photo below typifies the usual habitat and height at which I observe Scarlet Tanagers. The male is a stunning treetop tanager of mature eastern forests. As such, it can be somewhat difficult filling the frame and you are pretty much at the mercy of Mother Nature when it comes to good lighting conditions, especially beneath a shadowy canopy. Nonetheless, this photo, made at Point Pelee NP in Ontario during spring migration in on May 9, represents one of my better efforts at photographing a Scarlet Tanager near treetop level.
Yellow Warbler is by far the most common warbler that I see. While at Second Marsh, Ontario back on July 21, I spotted this male Yellow Warbler perched on a nearby branch and posing quite nicely for me. I made a few images and upon reviewing my photos upon returning home, I smiled when I saw the image below. I assumed that with the number of sightings I've had of this species, I must have lots of good Yellow Warbler portraits in my Lightroom library, but I was wrong.
At five inches, Black-capped Chickadees are small to begin with, but seeing a tiny fledgling chick on its first day out of its nest is quite the sight to behold. The photos below show just how small and adorable this young Black-capped Chickadee is, who explored our backyard for the first time. It’s an experience that I will remember for a long time.
While visiting Presqu’ile Provincial Park back on July 10, I came across a female Orchard Oriole. This proved to be my first time photographing a female Orchard Oriole, so I was happy to be able to make several images.
The Piping Plover is an endangered species. According to a Government of Ontario brochure I read recently, during the 1980’s loss of habitat and increased beach use caused the Piping Plover to disappear from Ontario beaches. Then in 2007, a pair of Piping Plovers successfully nested once again on Sauble Beach, Ontario located along the eastern shore of Lake Huron.
As happens more than I would expect, I find myself heading out the door for one target species and returning home with something completely unexpected. I headed out looking for a Blue-winged Warbler and decided to take along my Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM lens. I attached my 2x teleconverter to this lens, which combined with my Canon 7D Mark II camera body provided an effective 1280mm focal length.
Upland Sandpiper is a common breeder in central portions of its range, but it is uncommon to scarce and declining in much of the east and northeast, where they tend to be very local. I’ve had very few sightings of this sandpiper species and even less to show in photographs; however, my luck changed for the better on June 4. A few days earlier on an OFO (Ontario Field Ornithologists) field trip to Carden Alvar, I did see one in the tall grass near a herd of horses grazing in a meadow, but it was far in the distance.
Photographing life birds is always exciting. Upon returning home and editing my photos after one of these outings, I enjoy doing a little research, referencing field guidebooks and studying the key field ID marks, which helps to ingrain the key characteristics of a species in my mind for future reference.
Ruddy Turnstone is accounted among the world’s northernmost breeding species; in North America it breeds on the north and west coasts of Alaska, the artic islands north of the Canadian mainland, and the north coast of Greenland. It is found on every continent except Antartica.
If only all target species on my outings were this easy to photograph, bird photography would be a breeze. Upon arriving at the known breeding location of this Dickcissel, I barely had time to stop my SUV when my friends and I spotted a male Dickcissel flying past the passenger window about eye level. It perched on a nearby Mullein stalk and promptly started singing its heart out for several minutes. The direction of the early morning light was absolutely perfect and I had ample time to capture several good images. | [

Natural gas price doubled, may trigger price rise
Biting the bullet on a tough reform measure, the govt on Thursday took a politically sensitive decision to double natural gas prices to $8.4 (about Rs 510.13) per unit from April 1, 2014. Anupama Airy reports.business Updated: Jun 28, 2013 08:40 IST
Biting the bullet on a tough reform measure, the government on Thursday took a politically sensitive decision to double natural gas prices to $8.4 (about Rs 510.13) per unit from April 1 next year. This move will push up the price you pay for everything from food items to public transport.
On the positive side, the decision is expected to attract foreign investors in the energy sector as the local prices align closer to global market levels.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh approved the petroleum ministry’s proposal to price all domestically produced natural gas under a new formula suggested by a panel headed by Prime Minister’s economic adviser C Rangarajan.
This will be the first revision in gas prices in three years and will be effective for five years.
The new gas pricing policy will substantially push up profits of gas producers in India including the likes of Reliance, ONGC and Oil India.
But, it will have a knock-on effect on household budgets as refiners draw out more from consumer wallets.
Nearly everything that guzzles natural gas will become costlier. Vehicles that run on compressed natural gas will make public transport dearer, while electricity bills will edge up because some power generation units use natural gas as feedstock. Steel, cement and paints will turn costlier as a consequence.
While the cost of gas-based electricity generation is estimated to go up by around 60%, it is estimated that the overall impact on power generation will be around 20 to 25 paise per unit.
The revision in the price of gas produced in India from the current $4.2 per unit was bitterly opposed by user ministries of power and fertilisers as well as opposition Left parties who saw the move as helping some giant private companies.
However, the petroleum and natural gas ministry has reasoned that the increase in gas price was needed to incentivise gas exploration in the country.

Taylor Swift’s fans are waving her ex Jake Gyllenhaal.
On Monday, the 39-year-old Spider-Man: Away from Home star went to Instagram to promote collaboration between two charities working to help students during the coronavirus pandemic.
Gyllenhaal shared a black-and-white return photo – which appears to be from a yearbook – of herself wearing a pair of dark, round glasses.
“I’ve been wearing my glasses since I thoroughly parted my hair with gel (see above), which is why NEW EYES has always been close and dear to my heart. Since 1932, @neweyes_ has been providing glasses to people in greatest need. of them, “he wrote in the caption of the post.

While Gyllenhaal’s mind was focused on the project, his followers thought of something else entirely: Swift’s song “All Too Well.”
JAKE GYLLENHAAL READY FOR FOCUS ON HIS PERSONAL LIFE: “I SAW HOW MUCH OF MY LIFE I HAVE NOTICED”
The 30-year-old Swift is said to have written the song included on the Red album for the actor.
“You were a little kid with glasses in a double bed,” a fan was quoted as saying in comments to the lyrics.
“TS was right,” said another, adding the text again.
“Everything I hear is too good when I look at this,” said another fan.
At the time of publication, the post has garnered over 743,000 likes and over 6,000 comments.

YouTube sensation Rachel Zegler mocked the actor in the comments.
“I’ll be honest, my friend, that you’re in the mood for this one,” the actress joked.
Another famous lyric from the song mentions a scarf that Swift may have left at Gyllenhaal’s sister’s house, Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Also an actress, Maggie turned to the song in 2017 during an episode of “Watch What Happens Live.”
“I never understood why everyone asked me about this scarf, what is it?” she asked.
After host Andy Cohen explained the report, Maggie said she was “in the dark for a scarf.”

Jamie Vardy’s stunning streak continued on Sunday as he became the first player to score in eight consecutive Premier League games since he previously achieved the feat himself in 2015.
Vardy claimed goals in a record-breaking 11 consecutive matches during Leicester City’s remarkable title-winning campaign and is now threatening to improve on that landmark.
He was on target after 20 minutes at Aston Villa in Leicester’s latest game, boosting the Foxes’ chances of recording an eighth successive Premier League win and closing back to within eight points of leaders Liverpool.
Vardy has been the English top flight’s most prolific forward since Brendan Rodgers’ first game in charge of Leicester on March 3, scoring 24 league goals in that time, seven more than any other player.

SOUL MYSTERIES OF JOHN PAUL II – UNKNOWN NOTES, WHICH WERE TO BE BURNT
‘I did not burn notes of John Paul II, because they are a key to understand his spirituality, that is, what is the most inner in the man: his relationship with God, with another man and with himself’.
Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz
Metropolitan of Kraków
Personal notes are a record of forty years of the unusual spiritual path. Beginning with the first decisive sentence ‘I am in God’s hands’ till the reflection ‘Time has been fulfilled’ and the last ‘Deo gratias’ (Thanks be to God), we accompany Karol Wojtyła – John Paul II in key moments of his life and his ministry. In two modest notebooks we find his most important and personal questions, deep and moving meditations and prayers setting the rhythm of every day. But, there are also notes which are a testimony of care about his closest friends, cooperators – and the Church entrusted to him. These notes, although they are a record of moments, go beyond the borders of the life of John Paul II, taking us where something which is human and Divine join together in the dimension of holiness.
Personal notes which John Paul II had been writing for forty years, reveal the mystery of his soul and his devotion to God. It is an unusual and moving book. Thanks to it, we accompany Pope in the moments of his greatest closeness to God. We get to know Karol Wojtyła, who sees weaknesses in himself, struggles with them but always relies on God rather than his own abilities. We get to know the man who was fighting for the truth of his life till the very end.
This book is a unique occasion to get familiar with unknown texts of John Paul II and it is a key to understand his spirituality. Pope’s notes were to be burnt – now they are the main document in the canonization process.
The premiere of the book is on 5 February 2014. | [

Color Fever - Vintage Gray
We both ended up painting our nails this color, but despite spending forever in the aisle at Rite Aid, this one is still a bit too dark to use for the newspaper idea. I guess we will have to go back again to try that idea. - Meg
Grey’s in the aisle
Went to Rite Aid to buy some new nail polish. Wanted to get a grey color for winter. Tried on a couple in the store. I couldn’t decide which one to get. The top photo is the grey nail polish in the bottles. Below, I did one coat of each color on my nails. In the end, choose the Color Fever brand for it’s color tone and price point ($1.99 on sale!). The bottles and the colors are in the same order, left to right.
Full manicure photos to follow later, once I get around to actually painting my nails. - Meg | [

With the help of the time-lapse technique, you may quickly catch a lot of action. It can be used for many things, such as recording construction or tracking a city’s landscape changes.
Your camera needs to be properly set up to produce a decent time-lapse. Continue reading to learn more about this fantastic method and how to get started!
Time-lapse photography is a skill and an art that may be used to document landscapes, cityscapes, flower growth, building construction, and even the night sky. It has an artistic and distinctive quality since it enables the viewer to see a process that would often take years in a considerably shorter amount of time.
Setting up the camera properly is the first step in creating a fantastic time-lapse. The ideal settings include a shutter speed appropriate for the photo’s subject and an exposure setting that remains constant throughout the shoot.
For instance, a suitable shutter speed for a cinema-smooth result would be 1/2 the time between frames if you were filming a time-lapse of the stars in the night sky.
Shooting in Raw format is an excellent option for this kind of job. As a result, you will have more editing options and a wider dynamic range.
With time-lapse photography, you shoot several pictures at regular intervals over some time and then put them all together into a video. Time-lapse photography frequently captures remarkable changes in the natural world, such as a flower blooming or a child growing over a year.
It takes perseverance and preparation to make time lapses. When you go out to shoot, check the weather forecast and scout out potential spots.
A tripod should be used when taking time-lapse photos. Your equipment will remain secure and won’t move if you use one with a strong clamp or sturdy aluminium frame.
Consider motion control systems, which tie your camera to a rail and enable it to move in a precise direction with each capture if you’re seeking a more sophisticated solution. They are excellent for giving your videos more intrigue and drama.
A good technique to demonstrate how things change over time is time-lapse photography. Moreover, it can be utilized to produce creative shots.
Learning it cannot be easy, but it can become enjoyable with practice. This method can capture various things, such as the development of plants, a metropolis, a landscape, or the night sky.
This method can also catch moving objects like the sun or traffic. Before snapping the first photo, you should carefully plan your shot.
An intervalometer is one of the most important tools in time-lapse photography. This gadget plugs into your camera and manages how many, how many and how frequently you want to snap pictures.
Time-lapse photography is a great method to record beautiful landscapes or even a change in the weather. It’s also enjoyable and requires little equipment or works to produce original photographs.
To maximize the effectiveness of your time-lapse, you can employ a few different focusing methods. Examples include using hyperfocal distance to ensure the entire image is in focus or focusing one-third on the subject while photographing landscapes.
Use a motion control system to slide or pan your camera in a single direction as an alternative method. This method, which cinematographer Ron Fricke heavily utilized in the documentary Baraka, can significantly improve the impact of a time-lapse.
No matter what kind of time-lapse you’re making, scope out your site and polish your compositions before you start. To do this, scout out areas with abundant light, check the weather forecast before heading out for your shoot and ensure nothing is in the way of your photo. | [

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Women in communities in Britain with roots in countries where female genital mutilation is practised fear that a push for more prosecutions of FGM cases is being used to score political points before a general election next year, a U.N. expert on violence against women said.
Britain made FGM a criminal offence in 1985, but did not tackle the issue vigorously for many years and announced only last month the first prosecution - of a doctor accused of performing FGM on a patient after she had given birth at a London hospital.
Rashida Manjoo, U.N. special rapporteur on violence against women, said she had met mothers and daughters from communities affected by FGM during a 16-day visit to Britain.
They told her they had mixed feelings about the way the issue was being tackled, and were worried about the implications for families if there were more prosecutions. FGM, which involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia, is typically organised by the women in the family, and is practised mainly in parts of Africa and the Middle East.
"They do not agree or tolerate the harmful practices, but at the same time there seems to be a lack of consensus about criminalisation being the right way to go," Manjoo told a news conference in London.
"(They think)... is this now something to do with politics and an election coming up and certain issues becoming hot topics and FGM and early and forced marriage becoming the hot topic?" Manjoo said, adding that FGM and forced marriage had "always been there".
"Is there something else going on? This is what the communities are worried about - is this part and parcel of some picture that they can't see?"
Manjoo, a South African lawyer, was appointed special rapporteur on violence against women in 2009. Since taking up her post, she has visited Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, and now Britain.
She said she was concerned that the focus in Britain was often limited to certain harmful practices such as FGM, child marriage and forced marriage, while ignoring the damage done to all women and girls as a result of the country's sexist culture.
"Have I seen this level of sexist culture in other countries? It hasn't been so ‘in your face’ in other countries," Manjoo said, referring to the media's portrayal of women, including photos of topless women published daily on page 3 of the top-selling tabloid, the Sun.
Two years ago, British writer Laura Bates set up the website EveryDay Sexism inviting women to document their experiences of sexism, harassment and assault, from wolf whistles and lewd comments in the street to bottom-pinching, groping and rape.
Manjoo said at the end of her trip to Britain that the consensus was that the British justice system was not equipped to address or responsive to the specific needs of women and girl victims of violence.
She also told reporters the Home Office (interior ministry) had denied her access to Yarl's Wood, one of 12 centres Britain uses to detain asylum seekers while they wait to be sent home or have their case examined.
According to media reports, hundreds of women are detained in Yarl's Wood, which was at the centre of allegations last year of sexual abuse and inappropriate sexual contact between inmates and guards.
Manjoo said she had no idea why her request to visit the centre was turned down. "It is disturbing that I was denied entry. If there was nothing to hide, I should have been given access," she said.
Home Office officials were not immediately available for comment on Manjoo’s remarks.

Re:Verse reading–1 Samuel 16. (Day one)
“How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him?”–v 1.
Samuel was heartbroken by Saul’s failure. The old prophet genuinely loved the young king. Had been a passionate and prayerful supporter. Those days were now over.
With great patience, the Lord allowed Samuel the time necessary for mourning. Time to grieve. Time to recover. (Compare the Lord’s kindness to Elijah in 1 Kings 19)
Eventually, however, it is the purpose of God for Samuel (us) to accept/release what is lost and move forward with faith. “Weeping may come in the night, but joy comes in the morning”–Psalm 30:5.
A new and hopeful sunrise is coming for Israel. A new king will soon be anointed and God wants Samuel (us) to be a part of it.
Lord, give courage when this call comes to me to count as loss things that were gain, and to do so for the sake of Christ! (Philippians 3:7) | [

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council meets next week at the IP Resort Hotel in Biloxi, Mississippi. You’re welcome to join us or watch a live broadcast of the meeting.
Public comment will be held on Wednesday, October 19 from 2:15 - 5:00 pm. If you can’t testify in person, visit our proposed amendments page to learn about the different issues we’re currently working on and submit your comments.
The meeting agenda and briefing materials will help you prepare for the meeting. The following is a quick look at some of the hot topics the Council will address next week.
|Photo: James Burge|
The Council plans to take final action of Framework Action 5 which considers eliminating restrictions unique to commercial king and Spanish mackerel permit holders. Currently, vessels with commercial permits for king or Spanish mackerel may not retain a recreational bag limit when the applicable commercial mackerel season is closed. However, dually permitted vessels with both Federal for-hire pelagic permits and commercial permits can retain a recreational bag limit if operating as a for-hire vessel. The Council is considering removing this restriction since this restriction doesn’t occur in any other fishery.
The Council will review a public hearing draft of Coastal Migratory Pelagic Amendment 29, which considers allocation sharing strategies between recreational and commercial sectors and associated accountability measures for Gulf migratory group king mackerel. The Council expects to host public hearings on this amendment in late fall.

The Council will review the most recent draft of Amendment 46, which considers modifying the gray triggerfish rebuilding plan. A recent stock assessment indicated that the gray triggerfish stock continues to be overfished and the Council’s scientific advisors revised the acceptable biological catch levels. Along with determining new catch levels for the stock, the Council will consider changes to the recreational bag limits, size limits, and closed season; and commercial closed season and trip limit.
Red Snapper Management for Federally Permitted Charter Vessels
The Council will discuss the latest draft of Reef Fish Amendment 41, which considers creating a red snapper management plan for federally permitted for-hire vessels fishing under the for-hire component of the recreational red snapper allocation.

Reef Fish Management For Headboats
The Council will discuss a revised draft of Reef Fish Amendment 42 which considers creating a management plan for federally permitted headboats fishing for reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, the Council will discuss the criteria participants must meet to vote in the referendum to determine if a proposed allocation-based program will be accepted.
Modifications to the Commercial Individual Fishing Quota Programs
The Council will review the latest draft of Amendment 36A which includes actions for hail-in requirements, inactivated shareholder accounts, and mid-year quota changes.
The Council is considering modifying the frequency and mechanism of data reporting, requiring trip notification, and discuss hardware/software requirements and the potential for location tracking. The Council will hear recommendations from the Data Collection Technical Committee, Ad Hoc Red Snapper Charter For-Hire Advisory Panel, Reef Fish Advisory Panel and review a summary of public comments on the amendment that considers making modifications to Charter Vessel and Headboat Reporting Requirements. | [

(Re)Placement: Procuring Permanence in the City aims to identify and utilise a perceived condition of ‘emptiness’ in the New Town to create a vibrant, diverse and socially sustainable community centred in the heart of the city of Edinburgh, in response to a lack of current community provision, a low resident population and a current skew towards consumer and tourist-based interests. The project seizes upon pre-existing challenges that have been accelerated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the widespread closing of high street retail units and the abandonment of luxury Airbnbs, and seeks to turn these into opportunities for housing, leisure and work provision, with a focus on re-integrating and accommodating the needs of Edinburgh’s most vulnerable populations, such as those experiencing homelessness.
The project is supported by extensive research in the fields of urban planning, and draws upon the knowledge of figures such as Jane Jacobs, Richard Sennett and Professor Tim Rieniets to test sustainable and progressive solutions to the erosion of the New Town’s social and urban fabric, attempting to ‘re-place’ a previously dis-placed population. This led to the formation of a guiding framework for the programmatic configuration for the design, which was to centre on mixed-use development for a diverse demographic of residents and user groups. The resulting proposal for a combined market hall, homeless support hub and residential accommodation occupies the site of a former department store on Princes Street, and utilises its existing structural elements to reduce construction waste as far as possible. In this way the project aims to ‘procure permanence,’ not just for vulnerable individuals seeking long-term solutions to homelessness, but by thinking in terms of the full life-cycle of ‘empty’ buildings, building long-term neighbourhood resilience.
Abandoned department stores and smaller retail units, empty Airbnb flats and at-risk heritage buildings awaiting renovation or demolition: these form the ‘gaps’ referenced throughout the study which the design proposal seeks to utilise and ‘fill’ in the formation of a New Town Neighbourhood. The selection of these specific areas of focus was informed by a desire to investigate phenomena which were already eroding the urban fabric of Edinburgh’s New Town, but which were undoubtedly exacerbated by the onset of the pandemic and a decline in consumerism and tourism.
Early-stage research into this condition of ‘emptiness’ in the New Town involved the study of articles and published pieces on retail closures within the area and the At Risk Buildings Register online, as well as considerable and extensive research into the usage trends of high-use Airbnb apartments via online database Inside Airbnb; the results of this research are shown opposite. | [

Anisotropy factor g, one of the optical properties of biological tissues, is the most important parameter to accurately
determine scattering coefficient μs in the inverse Monte Carlo (iMC) simulation. It has been reported that g has
wavelength and absorption dependence, however, there are few attempts in order to calculate μs of biological tissue
considering the wavelength and absorption dependence of g. In this study, the scattering angular distributions of
biological tissue phantoms were measured in order to determine g by using goniometric measurements with three
polarization conditions at strongly and weakly absorbing wavelengths of hemoglobin. Then, optical properties,
especially, μs were measured by integrating sphere measurements and iMC simulation in order to confirm the influence
of measured g on optical properties in comparison of with general value of g (0.9) for soft biological tissue.
Consequently, it was found that μs was overestimated at strongly absorbing wavelength, however, μs was underestimated
at weakly absorbing wavelength if the g was not considered its wavelength and absorption dependence. | [

NASA reports that the James Webb Space Telescope has captured an impressive image of Uranus, showcasing nearly all of the planet’s faint, dusty rings. This demonstrates the telescope’s sensitivity, as only the Voyager 2 spacecraft and the W.M. Keck Observatory have been able to capture images of these fainter rings before.
Uranus’ Rings: Revealing The Secrets Of A Peculiar World
Uranus has 13 rings, but only 11 are visible in the new image captured by the Webb telescope. Two of the rings are difficult to see due to their dusty makeup, while the other nine are classified as the main rings.
In 2007, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope discovered two faint outer rings that are not visible in the latest image. Scientists hope that the Webb telescope will be able to capture these elusive rings in future images.
Dr. Naomi Rowe-Gurney, a postdoctoral research scientist, emphasized the importance of studying planetary ring systems to understand their origins and formation.
Exploring Uranus’ Atmosphere With Webb’s Infrared Vision
Researchers anticipate that future Webb images will capture all 13 rings and unravel more information about Uranus’ atmospheric composition. The Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) in the space observatory is a powerful tool that enables astronomers to detect infrared light that is typically invisible to them.
Rowe-Gurney said that the Webb telescope offers a completely new perspective on both Uranus and Neptune, as no other telescope of this size has been designed to observe in the infrared. Infrared wavelengths reveal new depths and features difficult to see from Earth due to atmospheric interference and remain invisible to visible light telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope.
The Unique Tilt And Seasonal Variations Of Uranus
Uranus, an ice-giant planet located approximately 1.8 billion miles from the Sun, completes its rotation once every 84 years. Unlike Saturn’s horizontal ring system, Uranus has a unique tilt that causes its rings to be displayed vertically. This makes it an interesting celestial body to study and observe.
A bright haze surrounds Uranus’ north pole, which NASA reports becomes more visible when the pole is directly exposed to sunlight during the summer. The atmospheric haze appears to grow brighter each year, but the exact mechanism behind it remains unknown. Telescope images such as this are helping scientists study the polar cap.
Monitoring Uranus’ Stormy Weather And Polar Cap
The initial pictures taken by Voyager 2 showed Uranus as a plain blue sphere without any defining features. The new Webb telescope image of Uranus, along with recent Hubble Space Telescope images, shows storm clouds at the edge of the planet’s polar cap.
Uranus’ unique tilt causes extreme seasonal changes and stormy weather, which scientists are tracking by comparing telescope images over time.
In November, the Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of Uranus’ bright white polar cap, which showed an increase in brightness compared to images from earlier years. The new Webb image presents the polar cap in greater detail than the Hubble image, revealing a subtle brightening in the cap’s center and more prominent storm clouds around the edges.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine named Uranus as a priority for study in 2022.
Webb Telescope Observes The Southern Ring Nebula
In addition to the stunning Uranus images, the Webb telescope has also captured observations of the Southern Ring Nebula, a large planetary nebula located 2,000 light-years away from Earth. The Webb telescope captured two images of the Southern Ring Nebula in near-infrared and mid-infrared light.
The images depict a dying star surrounded by an expanding cloud of gas and a secondary star still in an earlier stage of evolution.
These images demonstrate the telescope’s capabilities in studying celestial objects, from the vast reaches of our solar system to distant nebulae.
Unraveling The Mysteries Of The Cosmos
The Webb telescope’s remarkable sensitivity and infrared vision offer astronomers new opportunities to study the cosmos and uncover its secrets. From understanding the origins of planetary ring systems to observing distant nebulae, the Webb telescope’s capabilities will lead to new discoveries and a deeper understanding of our universe. | [

(The Gist of Science Reporter) ICMR’s Efforts to Combat COVID-19 Pandemic [MAY-2020]
(The Gist of Science Reporter) ICMR’s Efforts to Combat COVID-19 Pandemic
ICMR’s Efforts to Combat COVID-19 Pandemic
India Bagged 5th Position Globally to Isolate the COVID-19 Virus Strain:
ICMR, the apex Health Research Body of India, successfully isolated the CovID-19 virus strain and became the fifth nation after Japan, Thailand, United States of America and China who have isolated the strain. The isolation of the strain was the first step to accelerate the development of vaccines, therapeutics and rapid diagnostic kits in India.
Scales up its Capacity to Flatten the Growth Curve of the Pandemic:
ICMR has been working tirelessly to implement scientific interventions to battle COVID-19 and so expanded its capacity to diagnose and manage the outbreak. ICMR, which is also the testing agency for the infection, has extended its system of labs equipped to test COVID-19 from 51 to 65. The secondary test for reconfirmation of the infection which was earlier being conducted in ICMR-National Institute of Virology has additionally been extended to 31 labs.
Augmented Plan to Fast-track COVID-19 Testing Facilities:
The council has released an augmented plan to fast-track CovID-19 testing laboratory scale-up including proactive search for potential laboratories that could be enabled for CovID-19 testing and inviting applications from all eligible private and Govt Medical Colleges to be a part of the battle against coronavirus pandemic.
The official statement says, “As per directives of Hon’ble Union Minister of Home Affairs and Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, under a core team of Director, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi; Director and Director General, ICMR, a total of 14 Centers of Excellence have been designated. These Centers have been delegated the responsibility of mentoring all the Govt and Private Medical Colleges in their catchment area and eventually create state-of-art molecular virology setups.”
Data Portal Streamlining Data Collection from all Laboratories on Real-time Basis:
ICMR has prepared a portal that provides complete information regarding CovID-19 including testing Strategy, kits, surveillance and prophylaxis treatment, preparation for a worst-case scenario and disease prevention and management.
Sentinel Surveillance to Detect Community Transmission of the disease:
ICMR has been the nodal agency for testing CovID-19 patients and closely monitoring the presence of community transmissions in India. The council has initiated from 15 February the sentinel surveillance for identifying community transmission of COVID-19. The surveillance sites have been scaled up from 16 sites till 29 February 2020 to 51 sites by 15 March 2020. As per the official statement: “In view of the evolving nature of COVID19 transmission, the surveillance is being expanded to include more areas especially areas where COVID19 cases have been reported.”
National Task Force for COVID-19:
ICMR set up a national task force to research COVID-19. The national task force constitutes the research groups including Clinical Research Group, Research on diagnostics and biomarkers, epidemiology and surveillance, operations research, vaccines/Drug research and development, to identify the research priorities and initiate research studies. The Terms of Reference (ToR) are as follows:
Identify research priorities
Align them in consonance with the current level of outbreak and response
Identify protocol lead and create a protocol development team
Develop concept notes
Develop complete protocols
Identify partners for implementation
TB Testing Machine to Detect COVID-19:
To expand the testing facility for CovID-19, ICMR also approved the use of tuberculosis testing machines for conducting COVID-19 tests. The council validated TruenattM beta Cov test on truelabtM workstation and recommended it as a screening test for COVID-19. The ICMR has issued guidance on the use of Truenat TM beta CoV stating that throat/nasal swabs will be collected in the Viral Transport Medium (VTM) with virus lysis buffer provided along with the kit.
ICMR Database being Used in Aarogya Setu App:
The Indian Govt brought out the COVID-19 tracker App namely Aarogya Setu which is an initiative to keep people informed and alert against the outbreak by developing a bridge to battle against the disease. Aarogya Setu App needs one’s mobile number, location data (via GPS and Bluetooth), and matches the travelling history with that of the COVID-19 positive patients, documented by ICMR database in the backend.
Role in Establishing Diagnosis of COVID-19:
ICMR’s National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune, serves as the resource centre for the Virus Research and Diagnostic Laboratories (VRDL) network and is responsible for providing technical training for | [

Plastic steel profile advantage:
1. The price is cheap, plastic prices are far below the same strength and life of aluminum, due to the sharp rise in metal prices, this advantage is more obvious.
2. Color: color steel profiles for the building to add many beauties. Before the use of wooden doors and windows, doors and windows in order to achieve the harmony and the appearance of the building, in the paint surface paint doors and windows, ultraviolet radiation aging easily peel off a few years on the recognition, is not coordinated with the life of the building. Later, colored aluminum doors and windows were invented, but the prices were so expensive that ordinary consumers could not afford them. The use of plastic doors and windows perfectly solves this problem, and the color coated profiles can even make the wood grain out of the wood.
3. Durable: add reinforced steel in the profile cavity, so that the strength of the profile is greatly improved, with seismic, wind erosion resistance effect. In addition, the multi cavity structure of the profile is independent of the drainage cavity, so that the water can not enter the reinforced steel cavity, thus avoiding the corrosion of the profiled steel, and the service life of the doors and windows is improved. Join the anti ultraviolet component also makes the weather resistant steel profiles are improved, even if the strong ultraviolet tropical regions can be used.
4.Insulation performance is good: plastic steel bar itself thermal conductivity is far less than aluminum profile, in addition, multi cavity structure design is to achieve the effect of heat insulation. The results show that the indoor temperature of rooms with plastic doors and windows in the same type of summer is 5-7 degrees lower than that of aluminum windows and doors, and that in different parts of winter is 8-15 degrees higher.
5.Sound insulation performance: the installation of hollow glass, sealed plastic doors and windows, with excellent sound insulation performance, sound insulation has become the main conditions for the selection of doors and windows, especially in downtown residential. The plastic steel door and window assembly adopts welding technology, and with the closed multi cavity structure, the screen closing effect of the noise is obvious. | [

10 Jan 2017: The Bombay High Court on Monday directed the state government to decide on extending the lease of the Mazgaon plot on which Prince Aly Khan Hospital stands, and allow redevelopment. The hospital and adjoining buildings are in urgent need of repairs.
The court asked the government to respond within two weeks on whether it would extend the lease for the next 30 years, and accept the redevelopment premium.
The compound houses the hospital, a school and 14 other buildings. The Trust has moved the court after Mhada sought a no-objection certificate from the government for redevelopment.
While the government is asking the Trust to execute a 30-year-old lease, the Trust says it has a lease of 99 years, and that a decree confirming the same has been passed by the high court.
Rafiq Dada, senior counsel for the Trust, argued that a petition challenging the renewal of the lease for 30 years is pending. He also offered to deposit funds towards a two-year lease, along with the redevelopment premium to ensure redevelopment commences. However, the government argued that since 2002, when a 99-year lease ended, the lease has not been renewed, though rent is received annually.
However, to generate revenue, the government has decided to extend the lease of the properties on its land for 30 years to get the current market rate. The bench said it would be in the interest of all if the government accepts the demands for fees and allows extension of lease until such time as the court decides on all similar cases.

Despite recent reports that Apple is likely to announce partnerships for mass production of the “Apple Car” in 2025, Ming-Chi Kuo says the timing is questionable. doubt. Because according to the analyst, Apple currently does not really have a project development team.
According to his latest share on Twitter, the Apple Car project team has been disbanded for a while. And reorganization over the next three to six months is needed to be able to achieve the target of mass production by 2025.
Kuo did not provide further details, so it is unclear how long the group has been disbanded, nor at what stage work is halted. However, in December 2021, it was reported that 3 engineers of “Apple Car” had left to other companies.
Earlier in September 2021, Apple Watch chief executive Kevin Lynch was reportedly reassigned to manage the “Apple Car” team. In 2020, it is reported that Apple’s head of AI and Siri, John Giannandrea, is overseeing the development of this project.
Many people predict that Apple’s design and planning work may even have been completed. However, if that’s the case, at least some of the team members will have to stay on to continue production.
In the past, the team behind this in-house electric vehicle project was known as “Titan Project”, has been said to have been disbanded or reorganized. That was in 2016, Apple placed a hiring freeze on the team, after several executives were unhappy with the progress of development.

A second plant is planned at the Gadabay gold mine in western Azerbaijan, the head of the local authorities has said.
Kamran Rzazade told visiting journalists and tour company representatives that the gold mine had a positive impact on tourism in the region, ANS PRESS reported.
The Azerbaijan International Mining Company, operators of the Gadabay mine, said in July that they were considering a new agitation leaching plant. The plant would process high grade ore and additional resources that are not suitable for the current heap leaching, thereby improving total gold recoveries at Gadabay.
Mining consultants Arcadis Chile are conducting a feasibility study on a new leaching plant, which is to be completed in October, AIM said in July.
Promoting his district to the visiting journalists and tour operators, Kamran Rzazade outlined the more recent history of mining in Gadabay.
Copper mining began in the mid-19th century with Germany's Siemens brothers bringing in equipment for a copper dressing plant.
The first discovery of gold in the Caucasus was made in Gadabay. As of 1 August, 3,261 kg of gold had been produced since the start of industrial mining there in July 2009. | [

Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease.
In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the sugars and starches you eat into a simple sugar called glucose, which it uses for energy. Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy lives.
The following symptoms of diabetes are typical. However, some people with type 2 diabetes have symptoms so mild that they go unnoticed.
Common symptoms of diabetes:
- Urinating often
- Feeling very thirsty
- Feeling very hungry - even though you are eating
- Extreme fatigue
- Blurry vision
- Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
- Weight loss - even though you are eating more (type 1)
- Tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands/feet (type 2)
There are several ways to diagnose diabetes. Each way usually needs to be repeated on a second day to diagnose diabetes.
Testing should be carried out in a health care setting (such as your doctor’s office or a lab). If your doctor determines that your blood glucose level is very high, or if you have classic symptoms of high blood glucose in addition to one positive test, your doctor may not require a second test to diagnose diabetes.
Diabetes is a common disease, yet every individual needs unique care. We encourage people with diabetes and their families to learn as much as possible about the latest medical therapies and approaches, as well as healthy lifestyle choices. Good communication with a team of experts can help you feel in control and respond to changing needs. | [

As far as Star Wars robots go, BB-8 is the standout star. This cute little bot took the world by storm when he made his first appearance on The Force Awakens. Everyone wanted one but not everyone was keen to spend over $100 for one. Good news for people looking for their own little bot, this model, Planet Boy, works well and is quite inexpensive.

Class of Service (CoS) or Quality of Service (QoS) is a way to manage multiple traffic profiles over a network by giving certain types of traffic priority over others. For example you can give Voice traffic priority over email or http traffic. CoS is offered by service providers normally within an MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) offering.
CoS is the classification of specific traffic (at layer 2) by manipulating the class of service bits (in the frame header). It effectively'marks' the traffic so that QoS can use this identification/classification as a means to actually manipulate the traffic according to your policy. It is one way to identify traffic (along with ToS, ACLs, etc) so that QoS knows what to manipulate and how to manipulate.
Unlike QoS (Quality of Service) CoS does not offer guarantees with bandwidth or delivery time its based on a best effort basis.
There are three main CoS technologies:
802.1p Layer 2 Tagging
Type of Service (ToS)
Differentiated Services (DiffServ)
CoS Value Marking:
Marking a packet with a local CoS value allows users to associate a Layer 2 Class of Service value with a packet. The value can then be used to classify packets based on user-defined requirements. Layer 2 to Layer 3 mapping can also be configured by matching on the CoS value, since switches already have the capability to match and set CoS values. If a packet that needs to be marked to differentiate user-defined QoS services is leaving a router and entering a switch, the router should set the CoS value of the packet, since the switch can process the layer 2 CoS header marking.
The CoS value cannot be marked as part of an input traffic policy (which is attached to an interface using the "service-policy input" command). A CoS value marking can only be applied to output traffic policies (which are attached using the "service-policy output" command)
Configuring a CoS Value:
In the following example, a service policy called policy1 is created. This service policy is associated to a previously defined classification policy through the use of the class command. This example assumes that a classification policy called class1 was previously configured.
In the following example, the CoS value is set to 5.
What command can I run to identify what the error message I was receiving when plugging in my stack cable that does not work? This happened last Friday, so it might not be fresh in the system still. Thanks

YARMOUTH — The Town Council on Aug. 17 granted preliminary approval to a bid of $100,000 for Winslow Fire Station, turning down a bid for twice that amount.
Potential buyer Amanda Mitchell’s plan is to turn the 2,200-square-foot building at 20 Center St. into a community art space called Delany Arts.
The council voted 5-1 in favor of Mitchell’s proposal. Councilor James MacLeod was absent.
Councilor David Craig opposed the Winslow Station Task Force’s recommendation, and questioned why the highest bid of $200,000 wasn’t the proposal being considered.
“I’m concerned that we had an offer that was twice this and we’re leaving $100,000 on the table,” Craig said. “I’m not ready to vote for this just yet simply based on that.”
Town Manager Nat Tupper said although he could not speak for all six members of the Task Force, the highest bid was to turn the station into a craft brewery with a small retail space. He said that proposal could have faced opposition, given the location in a residential neighborhood at the heart of town.
Councilors Tim Shannon, April Humphrey, Pat Thompson, Robert Waeldner, and Richard Plourde voted in favor of the Task Force recommendation.
“This proposal is about as close to perfect as we’ve got and I think having a brewery at that location in the neighborhood could be problematic,” Shannon said. “I hate to see us leave money on the table, too, but that money came with such encumbrances and problems and potential downsides that I think the committee did a good job with what they had.”
When the town first began accepting proposals for the space in June, Tupper said it wasn’t necessarily looking for the best price for the building; it was looking for the proposal with the best value for the community.
“The competitive proposal that was offered was to purchase the station … to dedicate it to be used for a brewery with a small retail space, and the committee felt that was not a good fit for the neighborhood and the location and not in the best interest of the community,” he said Aug. 17. “Whether one agrees or not, that was the (Task Force’s) recommendation.”
Sale of the building is contingent on the council’s final approval in September, when Tupper will present the council with a contract zone agreement and closing documents.
The first floor of the two-story station would include an art studio for Mitchell, a public seating area, a small retail space, and equipment, such as a kiln and pottery wheels, available for public use.
Mitchell said she hopes Delany Arts will be a space for artists to collaborate, create and teach.
“The way I look to do art is kind of a social thing,” she said. “I want to learn; I love learning from people.”
Mitchell has not decided what she would like to do with the upstairs of the building, which will be the second phase of her project. She said she is considering office or additional art class space.
Though Mitchell’s bid wasn’t the highest of five proposed, the Task Force felt Delany Arts was the best fit for the town.
“I like the fact that Amanda is going to work with the exterior of the building,” Task Force member Tom Bell said. “The business model doesn’t need to make revenue to pay for all of this … the business itself is kind of a hobby.”
Mitchell said she plans to immediately invest $125,000 in renovations, including replacing the station’s roof, windows, siding, and garage door and revamping the first-floor interior.
She intends to keep a plaque, dedicated to Carl Winslow, who was fire chief for 40 years, on the front of the building.
The building is in the town’s Medium Density Residential zoning district, but with authorization by the town, 20 Center St. will be rezoned as part of the Village I District, specifically to allow improvements to the building and operation of Delany Arts.
According to the town’s zoning ordinance, the MDR District is designed to provide a “wholesome living environment” close to the center of town. Permitted uses include municipal buildings, manufactured housing, home occupations, storage buildings and churches.
The purpose of the Village Zone, which sits immediately adjacent to the MDR District, is to provide an area of diversity and vitality that contains a mixture of small-scale business, professional and retail shops and offices, as well as governmental services and residential uses. Permitted uses include business offices, small retail space, inns, schools, and restaurants.
As long as things go as planned and she receives final approval of the sale in September, Mitchell said she hopes to begin renovations in late fall.

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney described it as “kind of cool” that he’s technically in charge of shutting down the government during an interview Friday.
“Obviously, I’m heavily involved in this, Sean, is that the Office of Management and Budget is charged with, you know, sort of implementing running a shutdown,” Mulvaney said on conservative commentator Sean Hannity’s radio show before the shutdown went into effect.
He added, “In fact, I found out for the first time last night that the person who technically shuts the government down is me, which is kind of cool.”
Media Matters was the first to point out Mulvaney’s remarks.
Mulvaney has been tasked with negotiating a deal with congressional leaders to fund the government and end the shutdown that began on Friday midnight.
If Congress doesn’t reach a deal, come Monday, thousands of federal employees will be placed on furlough.
In the interview, Mulvaney listed all the federal departments and services that will continue to operate and employees who would report for duty if the government shuts down.
“To think that this government is going to shut down in the same way that it did in the Obama administration is just wrong,” Mulvaney said, referring to the 2013 government shutdown.
Hannity also argued that the shutdown would be “phony” and that all the “important aspects” of the government will continue and federal employees who are furloughed will be reimbursed.
“This is not a shutdown. This is not a thing,” Hannity said.
During the 2013 government shutdown under President Barack Obama, Mulvaney was serving as a Republican congressman representing South Carolina. He considered himself part of the “Shutdown Caucus” – the hardline conservatives who objected to the funding of the Affordable Care Act included in the government spending bill.
The 2013 shutdown lasted 16 days and cost the economy an estimated $20 billion, according to an estimate from Moody’s Analytics.
On Twitter, Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-New Mexico, called Mulvaney’s remarks “sick and twisted” and Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wisconsin called it a “shameful response by the Trump administration.” | [

High Speed Rail Through Skokie
Ever give much thought to what happens when they eventually connect Chicago to Milwaukee with a high speed rail.
There are two issues:
1. Where does the route go? It has to go through either Skokie or Evanston. Where would you like to see it?
2. Wherever it goes it will almost certainly develop population growth. In Skokie and Evanston that growth can take only one form, multi-unit housing. This is great for real estate developers, not so great for homeowners who want to keep things as they are.
A. For Insight on what Illinois High Speed Rail means for real estate development and more multi-unit housing, see:
Census Shows The ‘Train To Nowhere’ May Actually Be The Train To The Boom Towns This article is about a California project, but it is applicable to any form of highway or transportation development.
B. For Insight on what this could mean to your neighborhood… just close your eyes and imagine a high speed track down the street from your home…. even a mile from your home. Then think about all the multi-unit housing that will spring up, the increased traffic congestion and the increased noise. And all your new neighbors. | [

Directed by Wregas Bhanuteja, Netflix’s ‘Photocopier’ is an Indonesian thriller film that revolves around a girl who loses her scholarship when controversial pictures of her leak online. As her only resort, she takes help from a photocopy worker to know what happened the night of the party when those pictures were taken. The film serves as the first feature from the Jakarta-born director-screenwriter, who is known for delivering a series of acclaimed shorts.
Despite being a newcomer, Wregas Bhanuteja’s work translates as something profoundly youthful and dynamic in terms of both the story and the cinematography. As it instills so much curiosity in the mind of the viewers, you must also be wondering where ‘Photocopier’ was shot. Let’s update you with everything you need to know about the filming of the movie!
Photocopier Filming Locations
The principal photography for ‘Photocopier’ took place in Indonesia in January 2021 — when the pandemic still plagued the world — and continued for a period of 20 days. There were strict COVID-19 protocols followed by the cast and crew throughout the production phase. If you’re wondering where this intriguing movie actualized, you’ve come to the right place. Without any further ado, let’s reveal all the details about its filming!
‘Photocopier’ was filmed in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. It is not only one of the most popular cities in Indonesia but also the largest city in Southeast Asia. Besides serving as the country’s economic, political and cultural hub, Jakarta also draws tourists from all over the world. Having said that, the city sometimes receives negative publicity for harboring a high degree of traffic and pollution. However, its robust nightlife and attractive shopping centers attract people from all spheres of life. Hence, the city has appeared quite often in several productions worldwide.
A few international productions shot in Jakarta include ‘Blackhat 2015,’ ‘The Raid: Redemption,’ and ‘After the Dark.’ The filming for the award-winning film took place amidst strict safety guidelines, and director Bhanuteja was extremely dedicated throughout the process. He and his team performed rigorous research and even interviewed victims of sexual assault besides talking to anti-rape activists, including the talented Indonesian actress Hannah Al Rashid.
However, the movie invited a lot of buzz when one of the crew members was accused of sexual harassment. Rekata Studio and Kaninga Pictures, the companies that produced the film, reassured the audiences that the filming went safely and they had come to know about the incident through a certain community that watches out for possible sexual harassment cases. Both the companies tried to prove their dedication to maintaining a safe space that is free from any sort of misconduct. According to the statement released by the producers, ensuring safety remains one of their “paramount missions.”

Stay safe during severe weather
Gov. Rick Snyder has declared next week, April 12-18, as “Severe Weather Awareness Week” in Michigan. At 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, the Oakland County severe weather alert system will be activated. This is to test the system and will be done Wednesday instead of the first Saturday of the month to bring attention to Severe Weather Awareness Week.
Spring weather in Michigan brings us a mixture of weather events, from days that are summer-like to days that bring snowflakes; we have a wide variety of weather. With these changes, the possibility of severe weather increases. In Michigan we experience floods, hail, thunderstorms, straight-line winds and tornadoes, each bringing similar, but different, challenges to safety. Over the next three weeks, we will explore each of these weather phenomena and provide some safety tips to follow.
Thunderstorms and lightning
Typically, thunderstorms are much smaller than hurricanes and winter storms. Thunderstorms average 15 miles in diameter and usually last 30 minutes or less. In the United States, we average 100,000 thunderstorms a year and about 10 percent of those are considered severe. In order for a thunderstorm to be considered severe, it must produce hail that is at least three-quarters of an inch in diameter, produce wind in excess of 58 mph or produce a tornado. However, all thunderstorms are dangerous and produce lightning.
On average each year, lightning causes 80 deaths and 300 injuries. Most of these deaths and injuries occur when people get caught outside in the late afternoon and evening. Some simple ways to protect yourself from the dangers of lightning:
•Postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are predicted. This is the best way to avoid being caught outside away from shelter.
•If you see dark clouds moving in your direction, take shelter in a building. Do not take shelter in a shed or under a tree.
•Stay away from tall objects such as towers, fences, telephone poles and power lines.
•If there is lightning in the area and there is no shelter around, take shelter in a hard top car and avoid touching any metal.
•Unplug appliances in your home that are not needed for information about changing weather conditions and avoid using the telephone.
Finally, your best protection is to be prepared. Below is a list of minimal supplies that you should have on hand in case an emergency strikes.
•Flashlight with extra batteries.
•Battery-powered radio with extra batteries.
•At least five gallons of bottled water.
•Duct tape and scissors.
•Plastic to seal windows and doors, if needed.
•Towel for sealing off the bottom of doors if needed
•First aid kit, including a five-day supply of your prescription drugs.
•Extra clothes and bedding.
•Any other necessities that I may have forgotten.
If you have any questions about severe weather preparedness and/or other safety issues, call the Bloomfield Township Fire Department at 248)-433-7745 from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursdayand we will be happy to assist you.
Remember, your fire department is here to serve you!

RAK Police bust gang of cable thieves
(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) The Ras Al Khaimah Police on Thursday arrested a gang, comprising four Asians, for being involved in a series of thefts of electricity cables and building materials from 20 under-construction sites.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Colonel Hamad Al Dabbani, Director of the RAK Criminal Investigation Department (CID), said that on receiving a number of complaints about such thefts, the CID formed a team of officers to search and investigate the mystery behind the thefts.
He added that there was a spate of thefts in the last two months of 2012 and it continued until the police managed to set up plan to bust the gang.
During the investigations, the police detected suspicious movements of one of the gang members around an under-construction villa, while his other companions were waiting for him in the street to check on the movement of any passerby. The police immediately arrested them red handed while they were attempting the theft of building material in the villa. The police also confiscated all tools used in the crime.
During the interrogation the gang members confessed to their crimes and also notified the police about the location of the stolen items.
Col Al Dabbani urged owners of under-construction buildings, to hire a guard to prevent such thefts.

Laura, while I would definitely love to see some of these guys lose their shirts, we were going for series with covers with no shirts. 🙂
I’ve got a couple more in the historical romance column that are just wonderful. Victorian Rebels by Kerrigan Brynne is awesome! You’d love it, Anne, as it’s a bit darker with lots of action and intrigue. Another one of my favorites is The Lairds Most Likely by Anna Campbell, one of my favorite historical romance authors. This one is set in Scotland, which just sweetens the pot.
I’m not much for historical romance but I’ll check out those covers. When I am in the mood, I know you are the best source for a recommendation. You never steer me wrong.
Let’s see what I can add… Christina Hovland’s Mile High series, Anna Hackett’s Gladiator series, JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Colleen Gleason’s Heroes of New Vegas, Jay Crownover’s Loveless, Texas, Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld, Amy Jarecki’s highlander, Vonda Sinclair’s highlanders.
YES! The series I know, of the ones you mention, have covers that are shirtless joys!
Hard Ink is intriguing. Thanks.
I love that series. I listened to it on audio from the library. It’s fantastic.
I’m a fan of Pamela Clare and Laura Kaye; the others are less appealing. I’m drawing a blank on books with shirtless covers as I don’t pay that much attention. Fun idea though!
We thought it was fun! It was something different than the usual genre favorites.
The Off Campus series is my favorite–but only because I haven’t read any of the others! 🙂
I’ve read and enjoyed that one!
Rebecca Zanetti’s Dark Protectors series, Donna Grant’s Dark Kings series, and Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series
I have yet to read any of these but I enjoy Rebecca Zanetti. They all seem to have a good representation of shirtless covers though!
There are so many favorite shirtless guy covers I love. Some of my favorites are Breaking Point by Pamela Clare, Never Love A Highlander by Maya | [

Swimmers were ordered out of the water at several Cape Cod beaches on Thursday morning due to shark sightings.
According to the Sharktivity app, Nauset Public Beach in Orleans, Lecount Hollow Beach and Maguire Landing Beach in Wellfleet, Coast Guard Beach in Truro and Eastham and Head of the Meadow Beach in Truro were closed to swimming for an hour after a research boat spotted sharks swimming nearby.
The Nauset Beach alert was issued shortly after 10 a.m., and the others shortly after 11 a.m.
The beaches were expected to remain closed to swimming for one hour assuming no additional sightings.

Records dating to 1887 show Phil predicted a longer winter 103 times, while forecasting an early spring just 18 times.
At daybreak on February 2nd of every year, Phil is awakened from his burrow on Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania and is helped to the top of a stump by his handlers. With the recent Polar Vortex hitting Phil's home with wind chills of -32 F and clouds in the forecast for tomorrow, will Phil see his shadow? If there was no shadow, it would mean an early spring. But, how can a groundhog predict the weather? Groundhog Day is rooted in Celtic and Germanic traditions and has been celebrated since 1887. Phil may be a popular critter, but he may not always right…
Last year, for example, Phil saw his shadow suggesting six more weeks of winter. However, February was ranked in the warmest third February’s or about 1.6°F above the 20th Century average, and March was ranked near the median value of a 124-period record. Alaska’s February and March temperatures were 8.3 F and 6.9 F above the long-term average, respectively. But, results weren’t consistent across the United States. Below average temperatures were observed along parts of the East Coast in February and in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Plains for March 2018.
As of 2018, Phil has made 132 predictions, with an early spring (no shadow) predicted 18 times (~14%). On average, the groundhog’s accuracy has given results somewhere around 39%. After 1969, Phil’s accuracy drops to about 36% with the availability of and accuracy of records to verify with (Wunderground). Even flipping a coin, you’d still be right about 50% of the time, which would still be better odds than going off of Phil’s predictions.
Predicting the weather 6 weeks out would require greater computational power than what is currently available. Even accuracy after about 7-10 days starts to fall of rapidly when introducing model differences. However, climate forecasts are primarily based off sea surface temperature patterns. The three-month CPC outlook for March, April, and May spring currently shows above normal temperatures for the western and southeastern United States, and above normal precipitation for the Rocky Mountains and Great Plain states. We shall see how well the remainder of February matches what would be expected based on what a groundhog named Phil predicted. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy Phil’s promise of an early spring ahead.

First string orchestra concert of the year a masterful success
On Wednesday, Oct. 5 the University of Puget Sound’s String Orchestra gave their first performance of the year, clocking in at just under 90 minutes.
Led by conductor Christophe Chagnard, the orchestra worked its way through three pieces by 20th century composers, and no two sounded alike.
The first was Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings,” a shorter piece worked around a melodic ascending melody.
The second was Chagnard’s own “Roma,” a piece composed in 2010 which Chagnard dedicated to his guitar teacher Neil Andersson.
The piece is heavily influenced by the work of Django Reinhardt and the Gypsy jazz sound of Pearl Django.
Joined onstage by several soloists, the final ensemble included Chagnard as both conductor and guitarist, Andersson and Seattle guitarist Ron Peters on guitars and Professor Rob Hutchinson on bass, all backed by the string orchestra.
Chagnard wrote of the piece, “Roma is a boisterous dance. Its theme was composed two years ago…it has since become a staple of our Jazz Quintet repertoire and seems to have the ability to inspire listeners to move in some unexpected dances, revealing the ‘Gypsy’ in each of us.”
The audience certainly seemed to agree because as the performance wore on I noticed the majority of them were unconsciously tapping their feet in time.
As the piece ended, the string orchestra was greeted with their first standing ovation of the night.
Following “Roma,” Chagnard, Andersson, Peters and Hutchinson remained onstage to perform an encore Gypsy-jazz piece by Django Reinhardt.
The third piece was Dmitri Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony in C minor, Op. 110a, which is an arrangement of a piece originally composed for a string quartet in 1960. An extremely sad piece, Shostakovich dedicated it “to the victims of fascism and war” and considered it his epitaph.
The string orchestra’s performance featured soloists Grace Youn and Bronwyn Hagerty and lasted almost exactly 22 minutes, after which the room was absorbed in complete silence for 22 seconds before Chagnard lowered his hands, allowing the audience to applaud.
“There were times when that song was frighteningly intense. It was heavy stuff,” enthralled audience member, sophomore Emerson Quarton said.
The audience gave a second, final standing ovation following the piece, and many proceeded out in silence, moved by what they had experienced.
Between the first and second pieces a small wind octet took the stage, performing Beethoven’s Rondino in E-flat.
Performers were Cravixtha Acheson, David Brookshier, Andrew Friedman, Jason Lazur, Chloe Thornton, Matthew Wasson, Kathryn Murdock and Emily Neville.
Despite being a massively new group of performers (almost half of the orchestra are freshmen), the string orchestra has seamlessly transitioned into the new school year with this performance.

God is the only source of real peace in this world.
Peace is like a precious jewel that only few possess it.
Those who have no peace are most likely to get confused and anxious at times.
Clean conscience begets inner peace.
Cleanse your heart from any guilt of sin and purify your mind from any wicked thoughts and you’ll experience peace deep within.
Inner peace takes place if we have a forgiving heart and allow God to be the center of our lives behind the troubles in this life.
A humble and generous heart is always at peace with the world.
A grateful heart is definitely peaceful.
Break the worry habit in your life, then peace will surely set in. | [

The film tells the horrific story of a group of high school friends who reunite after many years to spend a weekend in the mountains, but when everything goes wrong, there is no time for girl bonding.. You can read more in Google, Youtube, Wiki

Bradley K (br) wrote: This bleak procedural is in many ways is the opposite of the film Se7en. A big city cop goes to the sticks to find redemption. If Se7en is a narrative from the perspective of the young, optimistic atheist trying to make future and understand a perversely moralistic killer then this is a film from the perspective of a struggling yet pious man trying to reconcile the past and understand an irrational and amoral killer. And while this film is obtuse at times it is a promising work of a director with much potential. Great central performances.
Derek H (kr) wrote: A low budget movie with high emotional sensibilities. A haunting duet for two great actors who haven't lost a step and have gained the most exquisite lyricism. Nightmarishly dreamy, sweet, and life affirming. The mere final line of the film are words and moments that one lives life for.
Raymond C (de) wrote: 8.5/10 great movie love the storyline reminds of Saw not better but can be in the same group the way everything unfolds is great another flix that will keep you guessing til the very end a must see movie and very underrated movie my opinion
Brian B (mx) wrote: C'mon crystal meth smoking critics, 47% seriously? This movie is clearly five stars hands down! The music, the mood, the setting, the cinematography, and the cast, it's just superb! Excellent job by Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell and the villains, ruthless! They're inventive and believable! Have to watch it more than once to get a real appreciation. Go see this one folks! Woohoo!
Adane B (ca) wrote: Best. move I never let it goo
Brian P (au) wrote: Its story compels through the tragedy of both personal affairs and the nation's political upheaval. Such brilliance of direction and its vibrant visuals had been comprised to create a sensational achievement it partakes
Kevin N (ru) wrote: One of Woody Allen's best films, and probably, to me, his most moving. The film seems to capture a time in Allen's life in which a tug of war between his crippling depression and lust for creation, and happiness through creation, was occurring. The result is an examination on the ups and downs of mortality, but sprinkled with genuine optimism and warmth. The cast is phenomenal, particularly the three female leads. Mia Farrow (Hannah) anchors herself as a collected and stable medium between her two wandering sisters. Their lives, as well as the lives of their lovers, intertwine in a grotesque braid that goes between being funny, joyous, ugly and horrific, but this is a film about life's unexplainable balance, and it ends its weave with a graceful bow.
Kyle M (nl) wrote: It grows on you as you watch it, and it genuinely touches the heart. Its utter lack of pretense makes it sing. I was very moved by it at certain parts, and in its own way is by turns peculiarly enduring and heartbreaking. Very unforgettable. Honest in its portrayal of the good and not-so-good of people. It is very well directed; it amazes me how such a simply told and somewhat offbeat story can be so engrossing and yet so collected. You grow attached to the characters, even with so little dialogue. Packs a wallop without a dose of sentimentality.
Brandon S (au) wrote: Lawerence Tierney is amazing as gangster Dillinger his facial expressions are spot on to the suspense of the film. Short but effective crime quickie starts as Dillinger commits his first holdup and then blazes through the rest of his life to his death. The action sequences are great, the direction is great, and the fast paced camera shots are perfect. An all around great piece of work.
Daniel C (mx) wrote: Arguably the best fast and furious film to date. Brilliant film.

I am new to coal, love it even though it is a hassle to get in Rich. Va. Wood is for cavemen. I have a harman tlc 2000, want to make it control the air. I ordered a exhaust heat riser coil bimetal spring. Like old car choke spring but bigger. I am planning to have that affixed to the ash door connected with a light chain/cable to the air slider. A light extension spring would hold a constant pressure in the opposite direction, failsafe air limiting. I do realise the ashdoor is a cold slow response area for the spring, but too easy not to try, will experiment. | [

— 1 — This Week’s Post: I Knew. Yes, I knew that it was only a matter of time. May you be blessed!
— 2 — Father Greg Shaffer: Last week I promised you a photo of Father Greg Shaffer. He is part of the DC Hood basketball team (made up of priests and seminarians) who came to play against the parents from my parish (The Chain Gang) in a game of b-ball. Father Greg was not able to make it but I have been promised by a parent photographer that they will send me a photo of the DC Hood team. These priests and seminarians are awesome and so athletic! When I receive the photo, I will share! In the meantime, here he is!
Please go here and support Father Shaffer!!
–3– Wonderful Wednesdays: I was adoring our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration a couple of weeks ago and got an inspiration (or nudge). The word the Lord wanted me to ponder was “Indulgence.” In other words, He was telling me that my life had too many forms of indulgence and that I needed to reduce this aspect of my life. One way to do this would be to commit to daily Mass one day a week and pack a lunch on that day rather than eating out. Yes, Gregg and I eat lunch out every day. This area of our lives is very indulgy. So, for the last couple of weeks we have been attending Mass on Wednesdays and then eating our packed lunch in the car. It is so simple and can be done in an hour because daily Mass is offered right on the military base where we work. Amazing. The Lord does speak when we are in His presence!
–4– Fathers: Whenever we attend Mass on the base, we see all these wonderful men, both civilian and military, attending daily Mass. There is this one civilian man who also attends our home parish. He has kind of a ‘high ranking’ job yet he spends his lunch hour at Mass. One day he told us that when he goes home, his kids ask him “How was your day, Dad? Did anything exciting happen?” His answer is always, “I went to Mass today. It doesn’t get any better than that.” By the way, this same man has a son who is entering the Seminary in the Fall.
Please don’t underestimate the impact of the Father’s commitment to our Lord; to Him that makes Himself food for us in the Eucharist.
–5– Spotlight On: Regina is in the spotlight again! This time, for her amazing post on the virtue of……….Chastity!
“It is not necessary to roam heaven and earth after God or to send our mind to seek Him in different places. Purify your soul, O son of man, remove from yourself the thought of memories outside of nature; hang the veil of chastity and humility before your impulses. By means of these you will be able to find Him who is within you.”
Saint Isaac the Syrian ~ 7th Century Bishop and Theologian
–7– The TB Virus Cures Cancer: I know! Isn’t that crazy? My sister has bladder cancer and they are curing it with the TB virus! No chemo, no radiation. They just removed the tumors and through a series of treatments, are flooding the bladder with the TB virus. The virus attacks the cancer cells. Isn’t that cool? We are so thankful and love her so much!
God love and bless you!

Insulation degradation—Carbon Tracking
Most insulators are made of organic compounds, thus they contain carbon. When heat is applied on such insulators with the exception of glass, ceramic, mica and asbestos insulators, they degrade to form carbon char. This carbon char conducts electricity, thus when the pyrolysis of the insulator occurs over a large area, called carbonization or pyrolyzation, the insulator gets slowly converted into a conductor. One thing to note about materials selected for insulation is that they were selected on the basis of providing insulation under thermal conditions during normal use. This means that wires in abnormal thermal conditions that trap heat, such as being under a thick insulating carpet, or abnormally hot conditions may cause the wire’s insulation to degrade.
Another scenario is the formation of carbon char forming in an area between conductors called carbon tracking or arc tracking. If there is heat generated to initiate the start of carbon degradation, such as the heat produced by a current on a wet insulator, enough carbon may be generated to form in between the conductors conducting a current through the carbon path. Localized heating will then occur, causing even more carbon char to be created. Eventually, enough heat may be produced to reach the ignition temperature of the insulator and start a fire. Carbon tracking might be able to reach other fuels, but only through the carbon degradation of the wire itself first before extending to those of electrical hardware such as switches and plugs.
Ordinary tap water contains dissolved salts, neutral ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, thus enabling water to conduct electricity. When water enters electrical appliances, it may cause electricity to flow along unplanned paths in addition to the danger of causing electric shocks. Current flowing along areas where current is not designed to flow may cause heating to occur at problematic areas, as in the case of carbon degradation, and become a potential ignition source | [

CPU context? I don't think swsusp needs anything different than
suspend-to-RAM in this regard (at least the pmac version of suspend-to
-RAM that wakes up on a CPU reset). The CPU setup will be saved as part
of the kernel data and will be restored after the pages are back in
place the same way it is restored when waking up from RAM. The code
is already there (and actually, that ppc port of swsusp borrowed it). | [

CHP: Drunken Visalia man takes joyride, arrested
A Visalia man took a test drive through Cutler Monday night.
Curious to see how fast the full-size Chevrolet pickup could go, 38-year-old Alonso Ramirez Cardenas put the pedal to the metal.
California Highway Patrol officer said he reached speeds of 100 mph.
While working a DUI enforcement operation Monday night in the Cutler-Orosi area, CHP officers came across the Visalia driver.
At roughly 6:50 p.m. one officer noticed the pickup headed south on Highway 63. The officer used radar to confirm that the Chevrolet was blazing down the county roads.
The officer turned on his patrol vehicle lights and began following the driver. The driver finally pulled over.
While the officer questioned Cardenas, he noticed signs of intoxication. The officer conducted a field sobriety test, which Cardenas did "poorly on," CHP officers said.
Cardenas also didn't have a valid license.
The officer later learned that Cardenas had taken the truck for a test drive from Cutler's Excel Auto Sales.
Excel Auto Sales could not be reached for comment.
"The dealership was contacted and retrieved the pickup after being admonished not to allow intoxicated, unlicensed drivers to test-drive their merchandise," CHP officers said.
Cardenas was arrested and booked into Tulare County Pretrial Facility on suspicion of DUI. Officers said his preliminary alcohol screening was registered at.11 percent. The legal limit is.08.

Jerry said:Whose chips do you use and are you tuning them or getting the progrmas from a main source? Im in Dallas so I'm glad to see others getting good results locally w/ KB's on 03's.. How much boost was that car running and what was the Delta P fuel pressure at the top of the pull?
I left a message for Jay but it should be all tune as his car was loaded to begin with along with a 19lb pulley. He had not planned on putting a lower on it yet but who knows what Richard might have talked him into this week.toofast4u said:Was that gain all tune or parts as well?
Richard did a great job on Jay's car. The parts added were a Metco 100mm idler, NGK5 plugs, and a 19lb pulley setup (up from 17, but holds about 17lbs of boost in this weather). The majority of the power came from the tune only, he picked up almost 45 rwhp and 70 rwtq after Richard finished the tuning. The temp was in the mid 90's with almost the same humidity levels.toofast4u said:Was that gain all tune or parts as well? | [

Cate Blanchett is no stranger to Hollywood glamour. The dedicated 46-year-old Australian actress, who was nominated for a 2016 Academy Award for her work in the film Carol (Brie Larson ultimately took home the award for her role in Room), is very familiar with the process of walking the Academy Awards red carpet. Blanchett has two Oscars to her name: one for her role in 2014's Blue Jasmine and another for 2005's The Aviator.
In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Blanchett revealed that no matter how times she attends the Oscars, it all feels new to her. Unfortunately, that exhilaration comes with a downside—the intense amount of pressure actresses face over their appearance, both at major events and on sets.
"I can only speak for my industry, although I think a woman's appearance is scrutinized in industries where that's utterly irrelevant," she told the site. "Particularly with women, there's an incredible amount of scrutiny on what you're wearing, how your skin looks, all of that stuff...Whilst you know I adore costume. I relish the chance to wear a dress that I may have no other place to wear in my life apart from a red carpet." When it becomes a problem, Blanchett says, is when her dress and the way she looks "eclipses the reason why you're there." The real reason being, of course, the films and creative work the stars have all gathered to celebrate.
Blanchett worries that pressure over an actress's appearance can distract her from doing her best creative work, because that self-consciousness can inhibit her expression. "[It] can lead to pressure...It can lead to consciousness," she told HuffPost. "In my industry, which I can only speak for, if you start to become self-conscious, it's actually the enemy of the place to make work from." While Blanchett's referring to show business, the sad reality is that this phenomenon isn't limited to any one profession. Insecurity can hold women back from doing an amazing job, or even from sticking up for themselves, in all kinds of work environments.
Blanchett's best defense against such intense criticism is to focus only on what matters to her, and to do her best to shut out the rest. "You realize that there are parts that you can take charge of. You can take charge of looking after yourself, if you have the time. You work with what you've got and you try to do the best you can." Preach.

"For I Know the Plans!" (Jeremiah 29:10-15, Philippians 3:12-16)Rev. Dr. Marjorie E. Nunes, December 31, 2019
Part of the New Year's Eve series, preached at a New Year's Eve service
This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 10 This is what the LORD says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place.
|« "We Have a Blessed Assurance!"||None||"No Need To Be In Darkness!" »|
10For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. 11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. 15Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon; (KJV)
12Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

It is 1914 when Marcus Garvey, a bedraggled British manservant, emerges from the depths of the Belgian Congo. He is the sole survivor of an ill-fated mining expedition in which both his masters, William and Richard Craver, died and from which their African porters fled. Garvey returns to London carrying two diamonds of extraordinary size, spinning a story too unspeakably terrifying to be believed. He is promptly arrested. Tommy Thompson, a London ghostwriter for a ghostwriter for a ghostwriter (don't ask ), is approached by his attorney to document Garvey's unholy African odyssey. From his prison cell awaiting the murder trial, Garvey recounts the mind-boggling horror that the Craver mining expedition encountered in the dark recesses of the Congo. Exactly how did the Craver brothers die? What unearthly forces would drive men to commit such acts of immeasurable brutality? Could love have possibly bloomed in the heart of such darkness? Only Tommy can untangle the mysteries of the Garvey case. A brilliant literary pastiche and tongue-in-cheek pulp African adventure, Pandora in the Congo is, at its heart, a fabulist literary exploration of imagination, reminding us that there is rarely one version to any story, and always more than meets the eye. | [

An elderly man comes into a bar and notices a lovely lady about his age having a drink by herself. He pulls up a stool, leans over and asks, “So … do I come here often?”
Sure, laugh. Or cry. Fact is, we’ll all be the lady or the man some day — god willing. In the meantime, we can tremble, or simply grab a copy of “Die Laughing: Killer jokes for newly old folks,” the new book by William Novak.
The cover shows a cane slipping on a banana peel. But the real joke is on the rest of us who didn’t think of this great idea first. Novak, 68, is the author of 25 other books, and, by the way, father of B.J. Novak, writer, actor and executive producer of “The Office,” on which he played Ryan Howard.
Papa Novak is best known as co-author of “The Big Book of Jewish Humor.” But he says he was between books when he hurt his shoulder and had to go to physical therapy.
So he is stretching, aching, and dealing with doctors when he realizes: This is not a unique experience. What the world needs is a joke book about the changes that eventually come to your body, your routine, your love life (!) and, especially, your short term memory:
Doctor: Mr. Jackson, your test results have come back, and I’m afraid I have a double-dose of bad news.
Mr. Jackson: Just tell me. I can handle it.
Doctor: Okay. You have cancer, and you also have Alzheimer’s.
Mr. Jackson: That’s terrible. But at least I don’t have cancer!
So Novak started collecting jokes. As he did, he realized two things: First: No joke is ever told for the first time. Proof?
Two older men, acquaintances but not really friends, are sitting on a park bench. One turns to the other and says, “Remind me, was it you or your brother who died last winter?”
Novak says that when his friend told him that joke, he loved it and immediately decided to include it. Then, a few weeks later he was in Vermont and found “The World’s Oldest Joke Book.” It was literally a book of kneeslappers from fourth century Greece — and it included the “you or your brother…?” joke.
But if there are no new jokes, what is eternally new is the strange sensation of having been a young person but now gradually experiencing all the things you associate with old people.
To make some sense of this, Novak arranged the jokes into chapters on things like “Long marriages,” “New partners,” “Sex,” along with “Death” and its funnier counterpart, “The afterlife.”
Man in confessional: “Father, I’m 82 years old. I have children and grandchildren, but last night I made love to a girl who’s 24. And not just once but twice!”
Priest: “Tell me, when was the last time you came to confession?”
Man in confessional: “This is my first time. I’m Jewish.”
Priest: “So why are you telling me?”
Man in confessional: “Telling you? I’m telling everybody!”
When I was reading these jokes, a strange thing happened to me: I heard them in my father’s voice.
That’s not just because my dad loved to tell jokes — toward the end of his life “Got any new ones?” was what he asked me for most.
It’s because jokes themselves are almost an artifact of dying era.
“Funny people these days, they do routines and many are terrific. But they’re not “Two guys walk into a bar,” according to Novak.
“One of my goals is to preserve the art of the joke, which I fear is leaving us,” he said.
The guys who’d grab a mic and rat-a-tat-tat, “My wife drove her car into the livingroom”-type of gags aren’t here anymore. Where’d they go? Here’s a clue:
Two old friends made a pact that whoever dies first would come back and tell the other what it’s like. So one day Pete gets a call from Richard, who died of a heart attack. Pete says, “What’s it like?” Richard tells him:
“I start off with a big breakfast. Then I have sex, and after that I lie in the sun. Then it’s time for lunch, followed by a nap and more sex until it’s time for dinner…”
Pete is thrilled. “I had no idea Heaven would be like that!”

Leigh Lahav is a Youtuber who always has funny takes on being a fan of every big box office franchise. With Solo: A Star Wars Story coming out later this week, she’s decided to tackle the Five Stages of Watchinga Star Wars Movie.
It’s no joke that when it comes to fanbases, Star Wars definitely has the more distinct ones. The fanbase has gotten so large that it literally has people of all kinds in the mix. The video pokes fun at the two different types, from the guys who love every entry that comes out, to the uber-fans that refuse to like anything but the original trilogy.
Though a lot of fans are happy that Star Wars is back and bigger than ever, there are some that are criticizing Disney for supposedly “milking the franchise.” Well, what do you expect the company to do with a property that they paid $4 billion to acquire? Set it on a shelf to gather dust?
Like every other franchise, Star Wars will probably meet its end at some point, but for now, we should just enjoy the steady stream of content that we’ll be getting for the next few years. After Solo, a lot of fans are crossing their fingers that we get confirmation on an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie. Plus, there’s also the last episode of the sequel trilogy to look forward to next year.

Keywords: Bridge pier; gabion; scour; sill; temporal evolution; wood debris
Abstract: Transverse structures, such as sills, can reduce local scour at bridge piers. However, in the presence of a sill, the scour hole evolves more rapidly with a debris accumulation, yielding a different behaviour of the countermeasure. This research aims to analyse the efficiency of sills and gabions as countermeasures against local scour in the presence of simplified debris geometry. Experiments were conducted under clear-water conditions with the approach flow velocity set at the threshold of the sediment motion. The temporal evolution and the scour morphology in the presence of smooth sills and gabions were investigated. The efficiency of the countermeasures was assessed by referring to a pilot test with an unprotected pier. Although a delay occurs in the scour development, the main findings reveal an insufficient countermeasure efficiency for large scour development in the presence of large debris accumulation, while gabions were able to further delay the scour process mainly due to larger surface roughness when compared with smooth sills. | [

NUI Galway PhD student, Sean Kelly, is studying for a PhD through the Marine Institute’s Cullen Fellowship Programme and the National University of Ireland, Galway. His research is investigating ‘marine and freshwater influences on estuarine physics and ecology’, focusing on Lough Furnace, Co Mayo.
“Estuaries, where saltwater from the ocean meets freshwater from river runoff, are incredibly dynamic,” explains Sean. “The salinity and water currents can change drastically depending on the state of the tides and how much river flow occurs.”
As estuaries receive nutrients from terrestrial and marine sources, they often have very high biological productivity, providing a nursery ground for juvenile marine fish and forming a crucial part of the journey of migratory fish. Estuaries are also highly sensitive to human impacts, particularly excessive nutrient loading from agricultural runoff and sewage which enhances algal and phytoplankton growth. This amplified biological activity often causes a reduction in the oxygen content of the water.
According to Sean, Lough Furnace has anoxic (zero oxygen) deep water as consequence of the natural physics. “The bottom water is saline and the surface water is fresh and the two layers generally don’t mix. Renewal or oxygenation of the deep salty water depends on new incoming tidal water. However, in Lough Furnace the tidal inflow is usually limited by the outflowing freshwater, which is common for many coastal systems like fjords.”
“By using Lough Furnace as a natural laboratory, we can begin to understand what the implications of oxygen depletion are for biological communities, which is highly important given the increasing global concern over low oxygen in coastal and estuarine zones.”
Sean’s research supports the long-term monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, in this case at Lough Furnace. Long-term time series data allows assessments to be made on the environmental impacts of climate change and a greater understanding of the implications for aquatic life in these dynamic coastal systems.
“My research allows us to understand how climate change may be modifying oxygen dynamics in coastal waters and how oxygen depletion can negatively impact biodiversity. The findings highlight the additional threats imposed on migratory fish species such as salmon and eel that inhabit these coastal systems,” Sean said.
Sean has been based at the Marine Institute’s Catchment Research Facility in Newport and has found working alongside other scientists to be extremely valuable.
“Collaborating with researchers with expertise in environmental and biological science on a range of overlapping projects has been very beneficial,” Sean said. “Writing and publishing research papers related to the project, as well as presenting research at conferences has been both the most challenging and also rewarding part of the Cullen Fellowship.”
His research has been jointly supervised by Dr Martin White of NUI Galway and Dr Russell Poole of the Marine Institute.
The Cullen Fellowship programme builds marine research capacity and capability by equipping graduates with the skills and expertise in raising awareness about our ocean, as well as Ireland’s rich marine biodiversity and ecosystems. The programme has provided grant aid to the value of €2.06 million supporting 24 PhD and three MSc students over the last five years. The research addresses a number of the 15 research themes identified in the National Marine Research & Innovation Strategy 2017-2021.
This project (Grant-Aid Agreement No. CF/15/06) is carried out with the support of the Marine Institute and funded under the Marine Research Programme by the Irish Government.
National Marine Research & Innovation Strategy 2017-2021: Published in 2017, the National Marine Research and Innovation Strategy 2017-2021 focuses on the broad topics identified in existing Government policies and strategies and provides a framework that recognises the complexity of research funding in the marine domain. | [

If you can not improve the silence then don’t break it.
Clear sky above - silence all around - near solitude abounding.
Not many around – its outside tourist season.
Not a lot happening except the sea smashing itself against rocky cliffs.
2 places of note
1. Point du Raz – is the westernmost point of (mainland) France. Ile de Sein immediately offshore.
2. Pointe du Van – where we camped atop a cliff overlooking the Atlantic – A quiet black sky dropped in after sunset and later lit up with a set of stars lit up like LEDs
A few weeks ago I compared Audeville in Normandy with Land’s End in Wales. I have to amend that. French cartographers refer to Point du Raz as their “ Lands End”. While Audeville is on a peninsula jutting out toward Angleterre it is a long way from being the westernmost point.
In fact we are nearly 5 degrees west of GMT.
So if 360 degrees makes 24 hours then 5 degrees puts us 20 minutes behind GMT.
However we are in France. France uses European time which is 1 hour ahead of GMT. So while our clock is set for sunset at nearly 8pm, in reality its 6:40pm. You can see why on these chilly mornings its good to be able to sleep in past 8 am. No point using electricity – the sun is not up till then.
Pictures might tell the story better.

Learning for Life
May 31, 2013
You may find yourself unable to accept what you see and hear at face value today, and you may consequently indulge in a tendency to question everything. Your search for answers may be the result of an alert and curious mood that helps you discover new areas of knowledge that are unfamiliar to you. Whatever the nature of your inquiries, you may be surprised that satisfactory explanations often lead to a slew of deeper questions. Try not to let this discourage you today as each question can represent another step on a larger journey of learning that is just beginning to take shape in your existence.
The questions we ask invariably lead to further, more complex lines of questioning, so we can prepare ourselves for the challenges of the learning process by committing to become lifelong learners. Many people, discouraged by their lack of understanding of all they do not know, limit themselves when formulating their goals so as not to overburden themselves. However, we are capable of expanding our minds at any time of life, and in any circumstances, so we should endeavor always to enthusiastically seek out new information. When we are eager to learn, we discover that absorbing the fruits of knowledge is an easy and an enjoyable process that allows us to see the world in an entirely new light. The queries you pose at home and at work today will serve as an unmistakable reminder that you know so much and still have much to learn.

Plant of the Week: Fall Flowers
Fall is a riot of color in the garden, with tree leaves raining down and the late season perennials such as chrysanthemums and asters punctuating the scene with hues of the season. Though annuals are usually thought of as creatures of the summer, a number put on their best display with the cooler days of the fall. As the growing season draws to a close now is a good time to look at some of these seasonal standouts.
Celosias – or cockscombs, as they’re popularly called – are old-timey annuals that haunted our grandmother’s garden like a bad dream. Once you got them started they would reseed and make their presence known late in the season with the peculiar brain-shaped heads that could be a foot or more wide. While interesting, these big heads were hard to incorporate into the landscape. The plumed cockscomb blend in much better but can still create a powerful punch in the border.
Sakata Seed Company has developed a new plumed celosia called ‘Dragon’s Breath’ that is outstanding if you wish to shock the design snobs who think the garden should be painted only in shades of pastel. The red-purple leaves and flower plumes on this 30 inch tall plant add a dramatic touch to the late season color. That doesn’t mean they aren’t in flower earlier in the year, for they are, but by late season these workhorse plants have attained a stature that is impossible to ignore. It is seed grown and is best planted in full sun.
Several salvias have a strong impact in the fall garden, the most striking being the pineapple sage and the Mexican sage. Both of these plants are semi-woody perennials in mild, tropical regions but in the frost belt they are best treated as cutting grown annuals. Pineapple sage, especially the yellow foliage selection called “Golden Delicious,” grows 3 or more feet tall and wide and is topped by bright red spikes of flowers in late summer and fall. Mexican sage is even larger, often getting to 5 feet tall and wide with grayish foliage and masses of purple and white flowers on slender spikes.
Both of these sages are natural short day plants, so in the summer their foliage will have to carry their space in the garden. They are best suited for full sun conditions and can be used in ground beds or large containers. Fortunately, both species have attractive foliage and harmonize with other summer annuals that are in flower. Plants can be pinched back as often as needed up until the first of August to ensure dense branching and to control size, but after that date let them grow to ensure good flowering.
“Mona Lavender” Plectranthus is a cutting grown annual that makes a nice cool weather addition to the garden and comes in a more diminutive size at about 16 inches tall. The foliage of this plant is a glossy, dark purple-green color but it is the terminal spikes of lavender (purple) that make it a real standout. It flowers during the summer, but something about fall makes it shine. It is best in good soil with good light but not necessarily full sun.
These bold and brassy plants can add a dimension of color to the fall garden that more staid perennials can’t provide. Plant them in masses or as scattered specimens to make the end of season garden pop.

On The Director's Chair
If you're anything like me then you love a quiz, most DVD games are good but have a few shortcomings. One of these is there is no buzzers. The other is the luck element, the board game uses dice but here knowledge and fast fingers are rewarded.
Four buzzers are supplied with the game and they're designed very well. They use infra-red not the standard wireless. This is probably to keep costs down and help with battery life. An infra-red receiver on a long wire is plugged into an Xbox USB port. The responsiveness and range of the controllers is very good, we've had no problems so far. You also get four sets of AAA batteries included and I think these should last a while as it's no different to a standard remote.
The game itself is very professional looking and plays very well. They've obviously taken a lot of time making everything slick and it shows. There are two game modes, Party Play and Play Now. Party Play is relatively pointless, it's a never ending game where all player answers are shown as soon as selected. No idea what that has to do with a party.
The normal game has two game lengths, long and short, although the short game doesn't seem much shorter really. The game is split into rounds, each round consists of several puzzles, a puzzle is really a category. There is no online play, which is a shame but not a deal breaker.
After each round a summary is presented and bonus points are added. There are a number of bonus points available for thing like, fastest answer or getting all the answers in a category correct. If you're not so good during a round then you get a consolation bonus too, such as slowest correct answer.
The last round is known as the Final Cut, just like the board game. It's here that you can win the game even if you're quite far behind the leader, this is because if you can get a chain of correct answers the points you get are multiplied up by more each time. In this round all the questions are from movie clips.
If you like collecting Xbox achievements then you'll love this and you're points rivals will hate it as you can rack up loads of achievements very easily. I got over 700 after the first couple of days playing over Christmas. It takes me months to get that many with most other games.
Another advantage of the console game is that you console will keep track of the questions already asked, this cuts down on repeats.
For the price we paid £14 the game is certainly very good value, it's kept us entertained all over Christmas and can see it being dragged out a lot when we have friends over. It's better with four players, but is still fun with two. The buzzers make it more entertaining than the board game versions.
Having a wife who is competitive and loves movies I decided about a year ago to invest in Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action for the Xbox 360 as I knew she would love it and it would give us a chance to do something together that would be a laugh but that she also could play with mates if she ever wanted to. The game is simple in its format with the idea being that it is set up with a number of different rounds offering you the chance to test your movie trivia knowledge out to score points and beat those you take on with 4 controllers included to make the game as easy to play as possible so that even non gamers would be able to take to this with no problems whatsoever.
The game is very well laid out and simple to play meaning that you don't need to learn how to play but rather just pick up your controller and off you go so that anybody at all can join in and so this is perfect for the likes of Xmas, birthdays, nights with mates or even just to chill with the missus.
The graphics on the game are good and deliver an excellent presentation to the game which is exactly what I had hoped for and was thankfully provided so no complaints there whatsoever.
4 controllers included make the game easy, quick and comfortable to play not to mention cheaper than it could have been as purchasing a controller for each player could add up so this also proves it to be great value for money.
A great variety of rounds on offer with over 20 in the game making it so that you never get bored and thankfully this same level of depth has remained throughout with over 1800 questions there for you to answer.
The game also saves information so that you don't find the same questions coming up each time you play therefore it is not repetitive.
The game offers bonus points for rounds with some being for excellence but some being for non performance which means that it can be frustrating for the better player when someone who is obviously worse with the knowledge can still challenge them so closely.
Overall a great game and one I recommend | [

Planet Fitness Near Me Merrillville Indiana
You may have seen advertisements for Planet Fitness, but how do you know if it’s right for you? Before you sign up for this franchise, please read the following information. The company owns these fitness centers, which are located in Hampton, New Hampshire. They are the largest franchise of fitness clubs in terms of number and members. They have more than 2,039 locations across the United States. Read on to find out more about Planet Fitness’ history and franchise opportunities.
If you’ve never visited a Planet Fitness, you can still get a membership for $10 per month. You will have unlimited access to all their gyms and classes, as well other services like tanning and massage. You can join any Planet Fitness location that is convenient for you. If you are already a member, you may bring one guest along to any Planet Fitness location. You can cancel your membership at any time for a small fee.
You can work out at Planet Fitness without ever worrying about what to wear. You’ll find plenty of cardio and strength training equipment, and you can even join a group fitness class. The schedules are published online so you don’t have to call to check them out. Planet Fitness may not be the right fit for you if you are a bodybuilder. Without access to the gym’s strength-training equipment, you may feel restricted.
Planet Fitness has over 1,600 locations across the country, which is more than any other franchise gym. This is more than any other gym combined. In addition to its wide geographical presence, Planet Fitness is also popular in smaller towns. You’re sure to find a gym near you if you search for one. Just be sure to find one with a location that’s easy to get to. And don’t forget to look for reviews online, as there are many places where you can find a Planet Fitness.
Despite its large popularity, Planet Fitness’s business model is built on people who don’t show up. Planet Fitness gyms can hold up to 300 people, but it averages six thousand members. This means it’s a great choice for gyms that don’t expect gym rats to use it. Planet Fitness’s business model is based on the fact that most members will not show up religiously.
Although gym memberships can be expensive, Planet Fitness’s popularity has seen a revival in the gym industry. Planet Fitness CEO, David Smith, hopes that this trend will continue as Planet Fitness grows. In the last 30 years, the percentage of the population with a gym membership increased by five points to 20 percent, a rate the company hopes to reach within five years. This number could also be increased to 25%, according to the company. If that is the case, it’s possible that a gym will become a popular destination for people who have never been to one before.
Though Planet Fitness’s corporate headquarters only operate 101 gyms, the franchisees that run more than 170 gyms are owned by existing Planet Fitness franchisees. Rondeau admits that this may be true, but he also acknowledges the dangers associated with having so many franchisees. He maintains that corporate offices are still in touch with franchisees. The company’s mission is to create an environment that will keep franchisees satisfied and increase its membership.
Aside from a strong gym brand, Planet Fitness also provides decent amenities. Some of these amenities include massage chairs, tanning beds, and discounted smoothie bar drinks. Some locations have free Wi-Fi. The gyms are generally clean, and staff members are courteous and helpful. Whether you’re going to spend a few hours in the gym or work out with your team, Planet Fitness will provide a fun and healthy environment. To take advantage of the many benefits, sign up for a Black Card membership if you aren’t sure.
A great way to stay hydrated is to carry a filtered water bottle. Planet Fitness has water stations for bottled water. They dispense cold water into individual bottles. The water tastes better that public fountains. This means that your water supply won’t get contaminated and your workout will be more effective. A gym membership is the right choice for you if you are a member. Just remember that it’s still a gym and you’ll be spending a lot of money, so you’ll want to make sure you’re following their rules. | [

So very cute. He reminds me of the little wild bunny that has taken up residence here at the ranch. Happy Easter!
What a beautiful picture!! Happy Easter!!
It is!! Happy Easter to you.
That's Perfect...He couldn't have got a better pose!
I think the "wascially wabbit" was looking for more impatiens to eat while resting quietly in front of the begonias.

Almost 50 percent of the respondents to a recent Internet survey said they received no year-end bonuses this year, the Grassroots Influence Foundation, which conducted the survey, said yesterday.
Citing the survey, the foundation said about 50 percent of those polled said they will seek new jobs after the Lunar New Year holidays that start on Thursday and run through Feb. 4.
According to the survey, which was conducted from Jan. 16 to Thursday and received 1,099 valid responses, 46.04 percent of those polled did not receive an annual bonus, compared with the majority of 53.95 percent who did receive bonuses.
The foundation said the results show that the economic slowdown has eroded corporate earnings so that workers’ welfare has been hurt as a result.
The government has repeatedly downgraded its forecast for the nation’s economic growth for last year and the latest estimate made in late November last year was that the economy would grow 1.74 percent, a downward revision from an earlier estimate of 2.31 percent growth.
The foundation said that 49.95 percent of the respondents indicated that their bonuses were the equivalent of one to two months of salary and 2.91 percent received three to four months of salary.
The survey showed that 0.73 percent of the respondents said they received five to six months of wages, and 0.36 percent said their bonuses equaled more than seven months of salary.
According to the survey, 17.74 percent of the respondents will seek new jobs after the Lunar New Year holidays, and 29.30 percent were thinking about quitting.
The foundation said the results show that many workers are dissatisfied with their jobs, adding that the government should come up with measures to boost the economy to improve the job market and benefit the workforce. | [

Early in the morning on December 21 a total lunar eclipse will be visible to sky watchers across North America (for observers in western states the eclipse actually begins late in the evening of December 20), Greenland and Iceland.[...]
Maybe. The sky cleared for a while last night and the moonlight on the new-fallen snow was fantastic!
This is the first time in 456 years that a total lunar eclipse has coincided with the winter solstice. Some of our, er, lunier brethren and sisteren are seeing it as a possible bad omen.
The celestial eccentricity holds special significance for spiritualities that tap into the energy of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year and a time that is associated with the rebirth of the sun.
"It's a ritual of transformation from darkness into light," says Nicole Cooper, a high priestess at Toronto's Wiccan Church of Canada. "It's the idea that when things seem really bleak, (it) is often our biggest opportunity for personal transformation.
"The idea that the sun and the moon are almost at their darkest at this point in time really only further goes to hammer that home."
A lunar eclipse taking place during the solstice is not an event Hawkins has seen in research, but he said it would have been viewed as something special.
"Eclipses could be taken either way," he said. "Certainly it would have been an omen, but it would have been up to the interpretation of specialists of whether it was good or bad."
I'll buy that. Here's an interpretation by this "specialist":
Tonight's eclipse will be a rare coincidence of celestial phenomena, interesting to see. The mid term elections, now there was a bad omen. | [

Optima Safety and Security Platform Overview
Automotive electronic device verification is the most rigorous and extreme of any semiconductor verification process today.
Safety concerns require that Integrated Circuits (ICs) used for automotive applications meet stringent safety standards, as specified in the ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Standard. Depending on their application, different devices must adhere to specific “Automotive Safety Integrity Levels” (ASIL) from A to D within the standard. Whereas ASIL-D is the safest device. To achieve an ASIL-D rating, firstly, the device requirements must be verified to an extremely high coverage or quality level in the “Systematic” flow. Secondly, the device must also undergo an analysis to show that “Random” faults that can occur during normal operation due to environmental effects will not disrupt the device function.
Random verification involves injecting faults into a design. It is done to demonstrate that normal functionality is extremely unlikely to be disrupted. There are multiple fault types that need to be considered, such as transient faults (soft errors), stuck at faults (hard errors), and others. Faults are classified by the danger they may pose as well as other factors. The different sections of the design in which the faults may occur are also important (for example, memories versus logic flip-flops, etc.). Various verification approaches are required for these different fault types. Furthermore, these approaches are generally based on fault simulation as a mechanism to analyze fault effects.
Traditional fault simulation has proven woefully inadequate to meet the performance demands of automotive safety analysis. Originally designed to meet the needs of semiconductor manufacturing test analysis, these tools use technology typically 30 years old and designed for a different purpose. Optima is targeting this issue directly with its products from the Optima Safety and Security Platform.
THE OPTIMA SAFETY AND SECURITY PLATFORM
The Optima Safety and Security Platform (OSSP) today consists of four overall products that provide self-contained apps for different fault analysis phases. These are driven from Optima’s core technology, the Fault Injection Engine (FIE™). Above all, the OSP dramatically improves analysis performance by orders of magnitude. This has made new analysis functions possible. That demonstrate clear adherence to the ISO 26262 standard in a fraction of the previous time. Meanwhile, also simplifying the verification process and increasing device quality.
Optima’s FIE uses a different approach to fault analysis that provides the exact same data without the associated runtime overhead. In benchmarks, this solution has been proven to complete very large fault simulation runs orders of magnitude faster than the nearest competitor. This dramatically changes the dynamics of the entire Random verification process. As a result, months can be shaved off of development schedules, often at a point where time-to-market pressures are extreme.
The Optima Safety and Security Platform uses the FIE to drive a series of solutions, or apps, that target specific scenarios.
- Optima-SA™. Static Analysis is automated to provide a clear understanding of the device faults that could prove dangerous and require analysis.
- Optima-HE™. Hard Error (or permanent fault) analysis is accelerated dramatically to allow for a complete analysis of a device to be performed in days rather than months for a large chip. The achieved coverage is automatically improved via Optima’s CoverageMaximizer™ technology, which identifies and provides solutions for otherwise complex problems.
- Optima-SE™. Soft Error (or transient fault) analysis may now be completed in a reasonable time. This app makes use of the high performance FIE to imperatively “harden” a design’s flip-flops. It is used to maximize resistance to soft errors with a minimal number of modified components, minimizing device power consumption and silicon area.
- Optima-SEC™. Optima-SEC targets IC-security verification. For fault-injection side-channel attacks, Optima-SEC verifies the security mechanisms by simulating millions of fault-injection attacks using the ultra-fast FIE technology. For more detailed information please contact us at email@example.com
Optima is working with a number of leading semiconductor suppliers worldwide. It maintains a comprehensive support network around the globe. Leading manufacturers are relying on Optima to make their devise completely safe and secure. Our products are in use today at leading automotive semiconductor companies and are rapidly gaining acceptance throughout the industry.
Optima safety products from Optima Safety and Security Platform have received TUV Nord Certification for ISO 26262 ASIL-D Functional Safety Verification, as well as ASIL D READY Functional Safety certification from SGS-TÜV Saar. | [

Hi everyone! Sorry that I haven't posted in a few days. I took a step back and realized that I need to put more focus on other things, so for the future I'm going to aim to post a bit less often, but with higher quality nail art. Keeping up with such avid blogging and other life stresses was making me really anxious, so hopefully slowing things down will let blogging be more enjoyable and less stressful :)
This is a design that I've been itching to paint on my fingertips. These nails are inspired by a piece by the street artist ABOVE. He painted this on Valentine's Day of 2009 and says, "many of you will agree that the "first love" as children was found on the school playground. Innocence of trying to grab a hold of the 1st love." I love this piece very much, and everything about the composition and design was perfect for translating onto my nails.
Getting the scaling right for this design was pretty difficult. Fitting humans onto nails was definitely a challenge and I had to restart because I made the children too big the first time. I'm not 100% happy with the way the boy came out since I still made him a bit too big.
On the thumb I added ABOVE's trademark arrow design. I'm really pleased with the way the letters came out in terms of size, consistency, and style. I also had an old bottle of heart-shaped glitter that came in super handy as a finishing touch, extending off of the nail.
I used nail polish and a striping brush to paint these by layering and mixing colour. I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the base and used American Apparel polishes for the design in: Sunshine State, T-Shirt, Hassid, Mouse, Echo Park, Downtown LA, Poppy, and Palm Springs. The piece of heart glitter is from Nicole by OPI Have A Heart.
Sorry for the excessive amount of photos! I know this isn't my usual style, but this kind of nail art has so much more meaning to me, so I hope you like it as much as I do :) | [

Kitchen. Monday, October 02nd, 2017 - 01:45:57 AM
If the size of the kitchen is big enough, you can even add some stools. Stools are useful in case there are any guests at your house. They can be seated in the kitchen while you are working. The present trend is to sit and dine in the kitchen. All in all, the kitchen should not look too messy, but it should be comfortable and free to work in.
6. Countertop material for the island doesn‘t have to match the rest of your kitchen countertops as long as it is harmonious with the room‘s overall design. You may want to splurge on solid surfacing here, for example, and use laminate on the other countertops. A butcher-block countertop is ideal for chopping, while granite or marble works well for baking purposes and for rolling pastry dough.
These might not be regarded as classic kitchen furniture, but nevertheless they tend to attract attention and enhance the perception of your home and kitchen to visitors. To be honest, it is not always the look or the designer‘s name of a kitchen appliance that matters to your guests, but its price and the way it looks in your kitchen. They are more likely to be jealous than to seek you out to express their appreciation for your custom kitchen cabinets.

Light snow is likely across Central Indiana today. Generally 1-2″ of snow will fall, with isolated spots picking up, up to 3″ of snow.
Here are snowfall totals through 7am:
For the most part, the snow will end by early afternoon. However, temps will remain below freezing all day, so slick spots will be likely.
Tonight temps fall into the teens with a chance for isolated snow showers that could lead to a dusting.
Sunday highs hit the mid 20s, but with wind gusts out of the west up to 20mph, single digit wind chills are likely. Again, a dusting of snow is possible during the day.
The 7 day forecast is very active. We are watching Monday and Tuesday very closely as more light snow is possible, then at the end of the week rain or snow is possible depending on the timing. | [

Hello; They ought to be careful drag racing with that kind of commodity. Gold would be the safer option with lumber prices these days! Old whitey is a power making beast. Would love to see these guys coming rolling through our town. I'm sure all those bleeding hearts would have their britches in a tight wad. I have so many questions. When they're dropping the pedal and the cabs tilt to one side, is that from all the torque trying to spin the drive shaft under such heavy load? Are they running with turbos or even super chargers? Not even sure if you could put that on diesel. It's now on my list to see one of these events live. | [

Nine slope runoff plots with different soil and water conservation measures were selected in Baima small watershed of Pingshun County, Shanxi Province of China, to explore more effective soil and water conservation measures to avoid soil nutrient losses, improve soil fertility, and control non-point source pollution. Soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN) and available potassium (AK) were determined and compared in this paper. The results show that,1) In grass measures, sowing of both riochloa is chaemum are more suitable for nutrient protection on the upper slope, fertility and the whole nutrient content of natural grass is optimum (SOC:24.86g/kg, TN:2.09g/kg, AK:157.00mg/kg);2) Plant combined with engineering measures,in different plant measures(fish-scale pit), shrubs are more suitable for nutrient conservation on the upper slope. SOC (25.04g/kg) and TN (2.13g/kg) contents of coniferous trees were the highest, and AK (170.89mg/kg) content of broad-leaved trees was the highest;3) Plant combined with engineering measures,among the different engineering measures(oriental arborvitae), the overall nutrient condition of level bench was the best (SOC: 33.33 g/kg, TN: 2.21 g/kg, AK: 139.44 mg/kg), and the stone dike terrace was poor (SOC: 18.19 g/kg, TN: 1.53 g/kg, AK: 118.11 mg/kg);4) The most suitable soil and water conservation measure was level bench of coniferous tree combine 9 measures. Soil nutrient contents are determined by plant characteristics, engineering measures and soil loss. In all plots, there were significant correlations between the three nutrients (P < 0.01), showing an strong effects of conservation measures on soil nutrients. | [

The attitude of gratitude is a terribly overlooked aspect of manifesting your dreams and desires. When you feel gratitude for all the good that you have in your life, without even making any efforts you are throwing open wide the doors to bring even more abundance of good things into your life.
An attitude of gratitude is like a magnet, charging up your life to receive blessings and abundance. Have you ever heard the phrase, “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer”? Well, needless to say that is always said as some kind of indictment of the rich–those who have abundance. It’s a statement of jealousy and it’s one that is supposed to impart to the listener how “unjust” life is. But as a matter of fact, that statement unwittingly expresses a great and perfectly “just” cosmic law. On the surface, it seems very unfair; but scratch the surface and you’ll find simple natural laws and natural energy working according to, well, their nature.
The rich, the wealthy, those with abundance, are grateful. Those who are poor are not. Now, you will likely say, “Of COURSE that’s how it is! The wealthy are grateful for their good luck, while the poor certainly don’t have anything to be grateful for!”
But are the wealthy lucky? Not usually. Usually they have worked from the ground up to get their fortune. And even when they have started with “a silver spoon in their mouth”, they have had to learn what to do with their money to make sure they keep it. It’s not nearly as simplistic as those with less money assume–and that’s exactly why they have less money!
You see, most people get the cause and effect backwards here. They assume that the fortune, the “good luck”, comes first, and then comes the gratitude. Without the good fortune, no gratitude. Wrong.
It is the gratitude that attracts more good fortune!
You can cultivate an attitude of gratitude to help you get more abundance in your life by keeping journal. Get yourself a very nice blank journal–not some spiral bound notebook. Every day, write down at least five things you are grateful for. Now, every day is different; not all days are as good as others. When you have a bad day, just write down the most basic things; you are grateful to have your place to live; you are grateful for the food you ate that day; you are grateful for your dog; etc. It doesn’t matter if you’ve written these things down before–all good things are worth repeating. As you feel yourself growing more grateful for what you have, you’ll suddenly be amazed one day when you have more! | [

Leonardo da Vinci Sketches the Design for a Machine Gun
In Leonardo's notebooks there is an array of war machines which includes a tank to be propelled by two men powering crank shafts.
Although the drawing itself looks quite finished, the mechanics were apparently not fully developed because, if built as drawn, the tank, with a lot of effort, might be made to rotate on the spot, but would never progress in a forward direction. In a BBC documentary, a military team built the machine and found it not working, until they changed only one of the gears. It is believed that Da Vinci deliberately left this error in the design, in order to prevent it from being put to practice by unauthorized people.
Another machine, propelled by horses with a pillion rider, carries in front of it four scythes mounted on a revolving gear, turned by a shaft driven by the wheels of a cart behind the horses.
Leonardo's notebooks also show cannons which he claimed "to hurl small stones like a storm with the smoke of these causing great terror to the enemy, and great loss and confusion."
He also designed an enormous crossbow. Following his detailed drawing, one was constructed by the British Army, but could not be made to fire successfully.
Leonardo was the first to sketch the wheel-lock musket c. 1500 AD (the precedent of the flintlock musket which first appeared in Europe by 1547), although the Chinese of the earlier 14th century had used a flintlock'steel wheel' in order to detonate land mines.
[Leonardo] wanted to increase the rate of firing weapons and so designed machines with multiple cannons, so they could be fired successively or all together. Many people consider these the forerunner of the modern machine gun. Two of these used racks of eleven or fourteen guns. While the top row was being fired the next rack was loaded; at the same time, a third rack was cooling off. Another design had the guns in a triangle spread for greater distribution of the projectiles. | [
