just thought I'd stop by and drop off a short for Robot Day.
Took about 4 sittings...
But hey there's an Easter egg that really hard to find.... *cough*
It wasn't that funny either.
But it was still funny so...

Distribution Pattern of Vascular Plant Species of Mountains in Nepal and Their Fate Against Global Warming
This study aims to find the altitudinal distribution pattern of vascular plant species reported from high mountain of Nepal (Manang) along the whole Himalayan elevation gradient, and evaluate their fate against climate change. Data was gathered from multiple sources, field investigations, literatures, and herbarium specimens. Altogether, 303 vascular plant species were reported from Manang. We used a published data to calculate distribution range of each species by interpolating between its upper and lower elevation limits. The relationship between elevation and species richness is elucidated by generalized linear model. The consequence of global warming upon Manang’s vascular plant species was estimated based on projected temperature change for next century and adiabatic lapse rate along the elevation gradient of the Himalayas. The vascular plant species richness has a unimodel relationship with elevation along the whole elevation gradient of Nepal as well as in three biogeographical regions of Nepal. Vascular plants of Manang are found distributed from low land Terai to high alpine regions of Nepal and their elevation distribution range varies from 200 to 4700 m. Out of 303 vascular plants of Manang, only seven species might be affected if temperature increase by 1.5°C, whereas at least 70 species will be affected with Received: 3 March 2015 Accepted: 17 July 2015 5°C temperature increased. However, the majority of species (233 species) have wider distribution range (greater than 1000 m) and more than 5°C temperature tolerance range, thus they are likely to be less affected from global warming by the end of 21st century.

HONOLULU - Long flights can leave anyone a little unsteady, but a teenager who defied the odds, surviving a flight from California to Hawaii tucked in a jetliner's wheel well, was disoriented, thirsty and could barely walk after the freezing, low-pressure ordeal, airport officials said Wednesday.
Security video of his arrival shows the 15-year-old boy dangling his feet for about 15 seconds from the wheel well before jumping 8 to 10 feet to the ground, landing on his feet and immediately collapsing Sunday morning, Maui District Airport Manager Marvin Moniz said.

The Longtoushan Au deposit, located in the Qin-Hang Metallogenic Belt, South China, is a breccia-hosted epithermal Au deposit. It is characterized by the distinctive occurrence of magmatic-hydrothermal tourmaline-cemented breccia. Tourmaline-group minerals have an extensive range of chemical composition that could reflect their host environments, including some of economic interest. To investigate the potential of tourmaline as a geochemical indicator for ore exploration, chemical and boron isotope compositions of tourmaline from the Longtoushan Au deposit have been determined. Tourmaline mainly occurs as orbicular aggregates, clusters and veinlets in rhyolite porphyries, granite porphyries and in spatially associated hydrothermal breccias (Au-mineralized and Au-barren). Three types of tourmaline (I, II and III) are recognized at Longtoushan, most of which being alkali-deficient schorl-dravites. The pre-ore Tourmaline I in the rhyolite porphyry is Fe-rich schorl, contrasting with the dravitic ore-stage Tourmaline II in the mineralized breccia and Tourmaline III in the granite porphyry. Locally, Tourmaline II shows concentric zoning which correlates with core-rim chemical variations (higher Fe, Al in the rim than in the core). Tourmalines from Longtoushan are characterized by a dominant MgFe-1 exchange vector and have relatively low Na contents (avg. 0.66 apfu; formula normalized on 15 total cations), indicating they possibly crystallized in reduced fluids of low-salinity. The δ11B values of tourmalines from this study fall in a narrow range of −14.5 to −10.2‰, indicating dominant magmatic-hydrothermal fluids of continent crust origin. The results suggest that tourmaline from Longtoushan may originate from boron-rich vapor fluids unmixed from felsic magmas. Tourmaline breccia was likely formed by hydraulic fracturing, with open spaces infilled by boron-rich boiling fluids released from the magma. The fluid boiling process during brecciation would be critical for Au-bearing pyrite precipitation, which could compete with coexisting tourmaline for Fe, leaving tourmaline Fe-depleted. We propose that the Fe-poor dravitic tourmaline in the hydrothermal breccia could be used as prospecting guide at the Longtoushan Au deposit.
Supplementary material: major element and boron isotope composition analyses of tourmaline are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.4468808 | [

Interfaith Families Are An Essential Part Of Our Community. Stop Excluding Them
Last week, it was widely reported that Israel’s new minister of education likened Jewish intermarriage to the Holocaust. Like many, I felt gut-punched when I read his hateful words.
Once again, interfaith families are being used as a proxy and scapegoat for disengagement with Jewish life and Israel. Once again, we hear a Jewish leader in a position of authority using his worldwide stage to deride and degrade Jewish interfaith couples and families.
Many of us have become hardened to comments like his, after decades of hearing North American Jewish leaders and professionals subtly, or not so subtly, put down interfaith couples and families as substandard, as second best.
The Holocaust was an atrocity — the calculated, measured, purposeful attempt to eradicate Jewish people and other marginalized minority populations from the face of the earth. It is an incomparable horror and barbaric crime against humanity.
Interfaith couples, on the other hand, are not an atrocity. We are not a horror. By every study and statistic, we are the growing majority of progressive Jewish families. Interfaith couples don’t get married because we want to wipe out the Jewish people. We get married because we are in love.
Interfaith couples are not about the eradication of anything; in contrast, we are about a desire to build something — a home, a life, a community — together, connecting to Jewish life in a way that makes sense to us. And many of us are the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. To compare us to a barbaric crime that stole our family from us is simply cruel.
At InterfaithFamily, we see interfaith couples and families for who and what we are: close friends, loving parents, thoughtful children, valued neighbors — many of whom contribute in deep, meaningful ways to our Jewish communities. As experts in the field since 2001, we can tell you what doesn’t make interfaith couples and families want to connect to Jewish life or become part of the Jewish community: Hurtful, shameful rhetoric like this.
The minister’s outrageous, hateful language has no place in the Jewish community. Thankfully, there are now more Jewish leaders, clergy, professionals, and institutions than ever before who are embracing interfaith couples and families in their communities.
We know, because they come to us to learn the best practices and to be part of our efforts to build more inclusive Jewish communities through our Jewish clergy officiation referral service, the Rukin Rabbinic Fellowship, the Interfaith Inclusion Leadership Initiative, and other professional development work. But the work is far from over — and with your help, we can get there.
For too long, we have seen Jewish communal and Israeli leaders rail against Jewish interfaith families, and blame us and our loved ones for all of the ills facing the Jewish community today. This must stop.
Not only must we decry the hatred and outrageousness underpinning the minister’s words. We must also fight to ensure that all of the Jewish interfaith couples and families in our midst know that they are loved, accepted and included, and that there is a place for them in Jewish life. Too often, interfaith couples and families still report that they hear negative comments in Jewish settings about their family makeup. Together, we can change that.
That’s why we created the Pledge to Support Interfaith Couples and Families:
I pledge to speak up and stand up, to make sure my words and actions are inclusive. I will share the story of my own Jewish interfaith family or be an ally by embracing the interfaith couples and families around me, and respond when others around me speak negatively about interfaith couples and families.
We know that often, people’s hearts and minds are changed when they hear stories about traditionally marginalized populations. That’s why we’ve asked interfaith couples and families to take the bold step of telling their stories, along with asking allies to speak out when interfaith couples and families are disparaged in their presence.
In the week since we have announced the pledge, more than 600 people have raised their hands against hatred and rejection. I hope you’ll join them, and share that you’ve done so with the members of your broader community.
By speaking up, you make it clear to interfaith couples and families in your community that you stand with them, and you stand up for them. Your action against hateful remarks can help ensure a more inclusive, vibrant Jewish community, filled with more love and less hate.
Jodi Bromberg is the CEO of InterfaithFamily, a national organization focused on connecting interfaith couples and families to Jewish life. She is also part of a second generation interfaith family. | [

Delphi partners TomTom on driverless technology
Delphi Technologies PLC has announced a collaboration with TomTom, known for its satnav products. According to the two companies, the partners will collaborate on “electronic and software applications designed to further optimize vehicle fuel efficiency and emissions through the use of real-time mapping data”.
Delphi’s Intelligent Driving controls will use real-time mapping data to predict changing driving conditions, such as route infrastructure and topography, traffic congestion and weather, which will improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and shorten commute times.
Mary Gustanski, chief technology officer, Delphi Technologies said “Smart propulsion solutions are the next logical step in transportation. Our collaboration with TomTom will help us to find new opportunities to integrate more information about a driver’s route, in order to enhance our proprietary Intelligent Driving controls and allow vehicles to drive better, cleaner and further.” | [

The M2 Mortar was a US light service mortar designed for close support by infantry at company level. These filled the gap between hand grenades/rifle grenades and the larger (81mm) M1 used at battalion level.
It has its origins, much like nearly every modern mortar, in the WWI-era Stokes design. It was smoothbore, drop-fired and used a bipod/baseplate system.
Light mortars of the inter-war/WWII period fell into two categories: The first were simple, tubes held firmly by the user when fired and aimed by direct line of sight (such as the British SMBL 2″ and Japanese T89). The latter were complex, with coarse thread screws or other systems to control elevation and windage for very accurate controlled fire.
The M2 fell into the latter category, with an attachment for a sight that could be used for both direct and indirect fire. As a result, it could be used accurately at close to its maximum range (nearly 2,000 yards).
Post-WWII, the M2 served in Korea and numerous Colonial conflicts with the French, finally in Vietnam. The Chinese also locally produced their own copy. It was eventually replaced in 1978 by the M224 which is still in service today and increased range capacity by about 1/3rd.
You can see some footage of the M2 in action here:
The Airsoft version currently being built will fire TAGs and moscarts, with a possibility of using TLSFX shells as well. | [

A Bill to exempt cryptocurrencies and certain digital tokens has been introduced in the Colorado Senate. The move is aimed to remove “regulatory uncertainty” that could hold back firms offering marketplaces for tokens and others aiming to fundraise using crypto assets.
Currently, companies that seek to issue, buy, sell or transfer digital tokens with a consumptive purpose face regulatory uncertainty under Colorado’s current securities laws.
The bipartisan “Colorado Digital Token Act,” tabled by Senators Stephen Fenberg (Democrat) and Jack Tate (Republican), provides limited exemptions to persons dealing in digital tokens from the securities registration and securities broker-dealer and salesperson licensing requirements.
The Bill proposes that digital tokens with a “primarily consumptive” purpose should be exempted from securities laws provided they are not marketed for “speculative or investment” purposes.
To qualify for exemption, the consumptive purpose for a token must be available within 180 days of its sale or transfer and the initial buyer cannot resell or transfer the token until the consumptive purpose is available.
Further, the bill specifies: “The initial buyer provides a knowing and clear acknowledgment that the initial buyer is purchasing the digital token with the primary intent to use the digital token for a consumptive purpose and not for a speculative or investment purpose.”
The Bill states that creating a Colorado Digital Token Act, with limitations to protect consumers, will enable business organizations in the western state that use crypto-economic systems to obtain growth capital to develop their businesses. “This will promote the formation and growth of local companies and the accompanying job creation and help make Colorado a hub for companies that are building new forms of decentralized “web 3.0″ platforms and applications.”
In a similar move, a “Token Taxonomy Act,” seeking to exclude digital tokens from being defined as securities, was introduced in the House of Representatives last month.

Nordic countries have agreed upon joint protection guidelines for nuclear and radiological emergencies.
The Nordic radiation and nuclear safety authorities have now published joint, generic guidelines for protective measures concerning population and functions of society in case of nuclear or radiological emergencies. The guidelines are agreed by authorities in Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The guidelines form a unique document that includes practical criteria for early protective measures during the early phase of the accident as well as for actions after contamination. The document breaks incidents down into the intermediate phase (when radiation level is no longer increasing), and the recovery phase.
The protective measures may include sheltering indoors, taking stable iodine tablets to protect thyroid, evacuation, protection of production and commodities, decontamination of inhabited areas, and management of waste that contains radioactive material.
It recommends sheltering indoors if the dose rate is 100 µSv/hr or greater, or if alpha-emitters (americium-241) are 1 Bq/m3 or more, beta-emitter (strontium-90) are 1000 Bq/m3 or more, and gamma-emitters (caesium-137) are 10,000 Bq/m3 or more. It recommends partial sheltering indoors (minimizing time outdoors, particularly for children) when the external dose rate is 10 µSv/hr or greater.
It also said, "As prolonged sheltering rapidly cause other than radiological detriments, the total duration of sheltering indoors should generally not exceed two days. After two days the lifting or partial lifting of sheltering indoors should be considered and if the radiation level is still too high for sheltering indoors to be lifted, the public should be evacuated."
Generally speaking the document recommends a maximum dose for workers of 100 mSv; in exceptional situations that limit can be raised to 500 mSv.
The Nordic guidelines are based on the Finnish guides for nuclear and radiological emergencies and further developed through close Nordic cooperation. They take into account both domestic emergencies and emergencies in more distant locations, and they cover both accidents and intentional acts. The guidelines form a practical implementation of the new international radiation protection concept established for emergencies.
Crisis communications are not included.

Sometimes old cliches just fit the situation. Those who surrender freedoms in exchange for security deserve neither. And as recent times have shown, you get neither once the freedoms are surrendered. And to add insult to injury, recent times have shown us there was no need to be worried about security in the first place. What has also been proven is that the actions of one life can change, or put a stop to many things. Unfortunately, this last truth has also shown us that very few were ready to stand (recently) for rights in the face of fearful tyranny. But as I write these words, we are on the precipice of a massive energy shift. It is written in the stars that the maniacal top-down control of our era is being overwritten by new energies and possibilities. And these energies provide for the possibility of a power-shift away from old masters. It should be no secret that the next few months will bring change at levels seldom seen in recent times. The coming Spring Equinox (and the rest of this year) and its associated energies will be a very big deal. Those who follow the example set by our guest will positively contribute to change, which is now guaranteed and coming fast. We are all co-creators of the future, and the ability of one life to effect change is recorded in this episode. From monetary systems to power shifts, it is all on the table right now. It is time to master fear, as our guest did. Fear has been used for decades to herd the fearful masses, which is what created our current world and its overwhelming energy of tyranny and no confidence. We need heroes now like we need oxygen. And if you wish to ever breathe free air again in this lifetime your energy is now required to defend what is true, correct and right. Our guest knew that the beach was not, nor could it legally be closed. And yet, all those around her let fear close the beach as she stood tall to hold it open, which she ultimately did. But what if the illegal denial of access to the beach was actually about freedom or human rights? Actually, it was about freedoms and human rights. But again, the wind of our era is shifting. So as the head-wind we have been pushing against for so long begins to shift and push at our backs, do not fail to raise your sails – at any cost. The possibility of charting your own course is now at hand. If we fail to do this now, we will get neither freedom nor security. | [

Statistical vs Clinical Significance Will G HopkinsAuckland University of TechnologyAuckland, NZ Other titles: • Statistical vs clinical, practical, or mechanistic significance. • A more meaningful way to make inferences from a sample. • Statistical significance is unethical; clinical significance isn’t. • What are the chances your finding is beneficial or harmful? • Publishing without hypotheses and statistical significance. • Non-significant effect? No problem! probability beneficial trivial smallest clinicallyharmful value harmful value of effect statistic
Summary • Background • Misinterpretation of data • Making inferences • Sample population • Statistical significance • P values and null hypotheses • Confidence limits • Precision of estimation • Clinical, practical, or mechanistic significance • Probabilities of benefit and harm • Smallest worthwhile effect • How to use possible, likely, very likely, almost certain • Examples
Background • Most researchers and students misinterpret statistical significance and non-significance. • Few people know the meaning of the P value that defines statistical significance. • Reviewers and editors reject some papers with statistically non-significant effects that should be published. • Use of confidence limits instead of a P value is only a partial solution to these problems. • We’re trying to make inferences about a population from a sample. • What's missing is some way to make inferences about the clinical or practical significance of an effect.
Making Inferences in Research • We study a sample to get an observed value of a statistic representing an interesting effect, such as the relationship between physical activity and health or performance. • But we want the true (= population) value of the statistic. • The observed value and the variability in the sample allow us to make an inference about the true value. • Use of the P value and statistical significance is one approach to making such inferences. • Its use-by date was December 31, 1999. • There are better ways to make inferences.
P Values and Statistical Significance • Based on notion that we can disprove, but not prove, things. • Therefore, we need something to disprove. • Let's assume the true effect is zero: the null hypothesis. • If the value of the observed effect is unlikely under this assumption, we reject (disprove) the null hypothesis. • "Unlikely" is related to (but not equal to) a probability or P value. • P < 0.05 is regarded as unlikely enough to reject the null hypothesis (i.e., to conclude the effect is not zero). • We say the effect is statistically significant at the 0.05 or 5% level. • Some folks also say "there is a real effect". • P > 0.05 means not enough evidence to reject the null. • We say the effect is statistically non-significant. • Some folks accept the null and say "there is no effect".
Problems with this philosophy • We can disprove things only in pure mathematics, not in real life. • Failure to reject the null doesn't mean we have to accept the null. • In any case, true effects in real life are never zero. Never. • So, THE NULL HYPOTHESIS IS ALWAYS FALSE! • Therefore, to assume that effects are zero until disproved is illogical, and sometimes impractical or even unethical. • 0.05 is arbitrary. • The answer? We need better ways to represent the uncertainties of real life: • Better interpretation of the classical P value • More emphasis on (im)precision of estimation, through use of confidence limits for the true value • Better types of P value, representing probabilities of clinical or practical benefit and harm
probability distributionof true value given the observed value probability (P value)/2= 0.12 observedvalue 0 negative positive value of effect statistic Better Interpretation of the Classical P Value • P/2 is the probability that the true value is negative. • Example: P = 0.24 • Easier to understand, and avoids statistical significance, but… • Problem: having to halve the P value is awkward, although we could use one-tailed P values directly. • Problem: focus is still on zero or null value of the effect.
probability distributionof true value given the observed value Area = 0.95 probability observed value lower likely limit upper likely limit 0 negative positive value of effect statistic Confidence (or Likely) Limits of the True Value • These define a range within which the true value is likely to fall. • "Likely" is usually a probability of 0.95 (defining 95% limits). • Problem: 0.95 is arbitrary and gives an impression of imprecision. • 0.90 or less would be better. • Problem: still have to assess the upper and lower limits and the observed value in relation to clinically important values.

Perhaps the most hotly debated topic among climate scientists, when they are not facing off with the ignorance of underhanded climate change deniers, is the potential rate of Earth Systems response to human caused climate change. In general, the low hanging fruit of climate research is a more easy to puzzle out pace of likely warming due to the direct forcing of human greenhouse gas and CO2 emissions and the more rapid climate feedback coming from increasing water vapor due to increased evaporation. But higher up the tree hang the critical fruits of pace of albedo change and pace of carbon response as the Earth System warms. Understanding these two will provide a much greater clarity to the question of a long term rate of warming given a doubling of atmospheric CO2.
Paleoclimate, Paleoclimate, and Paleoclimate
Perhaps the best way to test the accuracy of our long-term Earth Systems global warming and climate models is to use temperature proxy data from past ages in Earth’s history. And, based on these proxy measures, we find that the long term warming from each doubling of CO2 is at least 6 degrees Celsius. Though the proxies are not perfect, they are in general agreement on a range of potentials averaging near this figure. And these measurements can provide some confidence that the total long-term warming from a doubling of CO2 is at least twice that caused by a CO2 increase and the related water vapor rise alone.
More accurate measures closer to the current day are even less reassuring. Looking at the ice-age and interglacial transitions over the last 500,000 years, we find that a very small forcing provided by orbital changes, resulting in a global increase in solar insolation of about.5 Watts per meter squared combined with changes in the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth (Milankovitch Cycles), is enough to, over the long term, increase CO2 levels by 100 ppm (from 180 to about 280), increase methane levels by about 300 parts per billion (ppb) and (here’s the stunning kicker) raise world temperatures by a whopping 5 degrees Celsius globally and 13 degrees Celsius at the poles.
(Image source: NASA)
A Human Forcing Six Times Greater Than That Which Ended the Last Ice Age
It should be a serious concern to climate scientists that the initial forcing of just.5 Watts per meter squared resulted in a relatively moderate 100 ppm CO2 and 300 ppb methane response which then combined to force temperatures radically higher. By comparison, the current human emission of 120 ppm CO2 and 1100 ppb CH4 (methane) and rising, combine with other human greenhouse gasses such as Nitrous Oxide, Tropospheric Ozone (human emission), Clorofluorocarbons and Halons to provide an initial forcing of fully 3 Watts per meter squared or about 6 times the total forcing that resulted in the last ice age’s end and ultimately set in place feedbacks that pushed global temperatures 5 degrees hotter (Data source: Recent Greenhouse Gas Concentrations).
Earth’s Own Carbon Stocks are Vast
So why was so small an initial solar forcing enough to end an ice age and, ultimately warm the poles by 13 degrees (C) and the globe by 5 degrees C and what does this mean when the human forcing is now at least six times greater?
In short, the Earth holds vast stores of carbon in the form of CO2 in its oceans, organic carbon in its tundra and frozen beneath land ice, and in very large stores of methane hydrates on the sea bed. Any forcing that is large or occurs over a very long period of time will act continuously on these sources, pushing more and more of the carbon out until all of the stores newly exposed to that forcing are emitted, the feedback warming kicks in, Earth albedo changes as ice sheets respond (also a source of additional heat), and Earth gradually reaches a new energy equilibrium state.
In the current day, melting tundra (both land and ocean) in the Northern Hemisphere holds about 1,500 gigatons of carbon (NSIDC), the oceans contain between 2,000 and 14,000 gigatons of methane hydrate (USGS), and these same oceans hold about 1,000 gigatons of carbon (CO2) in solution near the surface and 38,000 gigatons of carbon near the sea floor (University of New Hampshire: Global Carbon Pools/Fluxes).
Melting tundra releases its carbon stores as CO2 in an aerobic/oxygen environment and as methane in an anaerobic and anoxic environment. Thawing methane hydrates release methane into the oceans of which some enters the atmosphere. And warming oceans eventually are unable to uptake a rising level of atmospheric CO2 and, in extreme cases, begin emitting CO2 back into the atmosphere.
When compared to the gentle, though long term, nudge to the Earth’s carbon stocks generated by orbital changes and | [

Last week at the U.S. box office released a documentary film by Dmitry Vasjukova and Werner Herzog — "Happy people: a year in the forest." The film shows the great beauty and splendor of the harsh Siberian nature and life of hunters and fishermen living in the Yenisei River.
"Happy people — the name without any hidden meaning, without Aesopian language, without any interpretation. Just like that — happy people. Because they are really happy. I never thought it would ever be, so can feel and live people in our country, "- says the director of the film" Happy People "Dmitry Vasiukov.
In the international version of the movie "Happy People" redubbed (voice-over reads Werner Herzog), changed the music, and most importantly — reduced the duration of the film, to make it easier to perceive. In the 90-minute version of village life "is derived out of the brackets" and all the attention paid to people’s lives in the forest.
Full Russian version of the film. 2008.

Broadway vet Jenna Ushkowitz, who rose to fame as Glee’s Tina Cohen-Chang, will write her first book, Choosing Glee, according to The Hollywood Reporter. St. Martin’s Press has optioned the motivational book exploring Ushkowitz’s success and positive approach to life. The book will include stories about her time on Broadway and secrets from the Glee set. Choosing Glee will be published in the spring of 2013.
“My goal is for you to walk away from this book looking at the world differently than when you started,” Ushkowitz said in a statement. “It's about how to have, do and be anything you want."
Ushkowitz made her Broadway debut in 1996 as a royal child in The King and I. She returned ten years later as an understudy in the Tony-winning rock musical Spring Awakening. The 26-year-old actress has been a part of FOX’s Glee for all of its three seasons. | [

Officers from the Newport west neighbourhood policing and We Don’t Buy Crime teams want to reunite these four bikes with their owners
Officers in Newport have recovered four bikes in the past two weeks and are hoping to reunite the bicycles with their owners.
A black Voodoo e-bike was found at Tredegar House on Friday 16 July, while a green and black Contour FreeSpirit was located at Devon Place, close to Newport train station on Saturday 24 July.
Both bicycles were recovered by Gwent Police’s We Don’t Buy Crime team.
Two more bikes – a blue and black Dawes and the frame of an unknown bicycle which is missing a front tyre– were recovered by officers from the Newport west neighbourhood policing team at an address in Emlyn Walk, Newport on Monday 26 July.
A 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft of a pedal cycle and was released under investigation as enquiries are ongoing.
Anyone who recognises one of the bikes or believes that it could belong to them is asked to call Gwent Police on 101, quoting log references: Tredegar House and Devon Place – 2100262568 – and Emlyn Walk – 2100262351.
You can also send us a direct message on Facebook or Twitter.
Proof of ownership will be required if you’re attempting to claim one of the bicycles. | [

As expected, baking powder does go bad. Or rather, it loses its luster. The chemical compound—often a combination of baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch—is only supposed to last somewhere from six months to a year. It’s sensitive to moisture, so any unexpected humidity could ruin your can.
Is it okay to use expired baking powder?
Expired Baking Powder Effects
Expired baking powder loses its potency after its use-by date, usually 18 to 24 months after manufacture. The only danger of using expired baking soda or baking powder is its inability to properly rise, resulting in baked goods that are flat and dense.
How long can I use baking powder after expiration date?
Once opened, a box of baking soda or baking powder should be used within six months. Not because it becomes stale or moldy, but because it loses its potency and power. Baking soda is used as a leavening agent to make food fluffy.
How can you tell if baking powder is still good?
If you haven’t bought a fresh can recently, you can check the freshness of your baking powder with a very simple test: Mix one cup of hot water with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. If there’s an immediate fizzing reaction that dissipates all of the powder, you’ll know it still works.
Does expired baking powder taste bad?
First things first, it is important for you to not panic about your baking powder being bad, expired, or contaminated. … If you find that your baked goods that used baking powder are tasting strangely bitter, then there is an extremely good chance that you have put too much baking powder into the dish.
What can you use instead of baking powder?
Here are 10 great substitutes for baking powder.
- Buttermilk. Buttermilk is a fermented dairy product with a sour, slightly tangy taste that is often compared to plain yogurt. …
- Plain Yogurt. …
- Molasses. …
- Cream of Tartar. …
- Sour Milk. …
- Vinegar. …
- Lemon Juice. …
- Club Soda.
How do you revive old baking powder?
All you have to do is drop a little bit of the baking soda or baking powder into hot water (and vinegar if testing baking soda) and look for a bubbling reaction — if there’s fizzing, it’s still good to use!
Can I use expired baking soda for baking?
Baking soda is good indefinitely past its best by date, although it can lose potency over time. … While old baking soda may not produce as much leavening action, it is still safe to eat. Your recipes may not turn out as well, but you can still eat the results.
Can baking powder make you sick?
Baking powder is considered nontoxic when it is used in cooking and baking. However, serious complications can occur from overdoses or allergic reactions.
How do you make baking powder?
To make your own baking powder – some say with fewer metallic undertones than the commercial stuff – mix one part baking soda to one part cornstarch and two parts cream of tartar. For example: 1/4 teaspoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar + 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch = 1 teaspoon homemade baking powder.
Should baking powder be refrigerated after opening?
Baking powder, soda or corn starch should be stored in a dry cupboard away from heat and excess moisture. … Storage in a refrigerator or freezer is not recommended, as the condensation from your refrigerator can also cause moisture to form inside the can, causing a reaction.
Can I use baking soda in place of baking powder?
Can I substitute baking soda for baking powder? Yes, as long as there is enough of an acidic ingredient to make a reaction (for 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, you need 1 cup of buttermilk or yogurt or 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar).
Can baking powder burn your tongue?
It doesn’t contain fluoride, which helps remineralize tooth enamel and prevent cavities. It can cause a burning sensation in the mouth.
Why do my cakes taste of baking powder?
Baking powder acts twice in a cake. Once when it reacts with the acid in the baking powder (usually dry citric acid), and once in the oven during baking. If the cake was not heated enough, the leftover sodium bicarbonate will give that yuchy ‘soda’ taste.
Is baking soda and baking powder the same?
While both products appear similar, they’re certainly not the same. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which requires an acid and a liquid to become activated and help baked goods rise. Conversely, baking powder includes sodium bicarbonate, as well as an acid. It only needs a liquid to become activated. | [

4. Project Echo. The Echo satellite was a large inflated balloon with a highly reflective surface. Satellites of
the Echo type are known as passive satellites, which serve as reflectors or reradiators of electromagnetic energy
and contain no energized electronic circuitry of their own. Orbital altitude varies from 658 to 1,222 miles. On
the same day the balloon was launched, the first two-way-voice link via passive satellite was accomplished.
5. Project Westford. The primary objective of Westford was to place an orbital reflective belt of millions of
tiny dipoles around the Earth. These dipoles return a large percentage of radiation received to the Earth. The
announcement of this project brought a storm of objections from scientists around the world who claimed that
this belt of resonant particles would interfere with both radio and visual astronomical observations. On 4
October 1961, a special panel of the President's Science Advisory Committee reported that no permanent
damage would accrue from such an experiment, and a launch with a payload of 75 pounds of fine copper
dipoles was attempted on 21 October 1961. The experiment failed because the dipoles did not disperse in orbit.
On 12 May 1962, the US Air Force announced that the second Westford experiment package had been launched
and that dispersal was taking place as planned. The final results of this experiment were not announced.
6. Project Advent. Project Advent was a major military satellite communications effort directed at placing a
multichannel active repeater at synchronous altitude. At synchronous altitude the satellite revolved around the
Earth at the same angular speed as the Earth's surface. The satellite, therefore, appeared to hang nearly
motionless above some point on the Earth's surface. This has many obvious advantages of a low- or medium-
altitude nonsynchronous satellite, the most important being that it eliminates many of the technical problems
associated with tracking a satellite moving at high speed across the sky. Difficulties encountered in the booster
program, combined with other complications, caused cancellation of the entire program and the effort was
reoriented into the Defense Communication Satellite Program (DCSP) for DoD. The two "gateway" ground
terminals that were built for the Advent program at Fort Dix, New Jersey and Camp Roberts, California, were
first modified for the SYNCOM program and have since been remodified for the DCSP.
7. Project Telstar. Telstar I satellite was a medium-altitude communications satellite, commercially designed
and launched by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to demonstrate the feasibility of
intercontinental communications via satellites. Entirely company-founded by American Telephone &
Telegraph Company (AT&T), the launch was performed by NASA Orbit was achieved on 10 July 1962 and a
live television program was transmitted for the first time between North America and Europe. Trouble
developed in the satellite when ionization caused by high-altitude nuclear testing affected certain parts. A
specially formulated code was used to turn off the power supply long enough for deionization to occur.
Successful operation was restored and continued throughout the remainder of its life. Telstar II was orbited on
7 May 1963. In an attempt to reduce the ionization effects experienced with Telstar I, Telstar II was placed in a
higher orbit (6,702 miles maximum altitude) and employed some evacuated devices. Live color television was
transmitted via Telstar II from the US to France. | [

Age might be “just a number,” but our relationships affect more than the present moment and the two lovers. There are practical aspects to sharing our lives that are impacted by age differences in the partners, but are those challenges more important than love?
Interracial taboos have all but vanished in most of “polite society,” but there is still a stigma attached to some relationships between the older and younger.
A 50-year-old man with a 30-something woman doesn’t attract much attention these days. They’ve both been around the block and can enjoy a couple of great decades or so before the reality of age becomes a factor.
When a woman in her mid-20s teams up with a man in his mid-30s, she is able to skip some of the more difficult “building periods” most of us go through when we’re just starting out.
She is likely to experience a somewhat elevated lifestyle, a better income, a more settled and stable partnership and better sex than her counterpart who marries a college sweetheart.
The same would be true of a younger man with a middle-aged woman. Of course, some would argue that triumphing over the bumpy ride shared by young lovers can create a stronger and more meaningful bond.
A younger woman who has never felt appreciated by her young boyfriend may also discover that an older man has a whole different sense of real beauty and a much deeper appreciation for the wonderful woman she is.

age may not make any difference.”
A decade or so between fully mature adults (let’s say, 25 to 80) doesn’t really have much of an impact on a relationship.
But, what if she’s raised her kids and he still wants to start a family? What if he’s 45 and she’s 19? What if she’s a teacher and he’s a student? What if he’s very old and she’s very young?
These are the kinds of hurdles that can sabotage a relationship. When one partner’s future goals are impacted by age, the couple can end up with irreconcilable problems. Being on the same page in life is important if you want to take a relationship to the final level of long-term commitment.
It’s really a matter of choice. If it’s all for fun with no long-term relationship or family in the offing, the difference in age may not make any difference.
But when young men and women who were children only a few years ago are involved, when making babies becomes part of the mix or when one has a position of power or trust over the other, special care must be taken to put good judgment above the affairs of the heart. | [

A shopping mall in Kaliningrad, Russia celebrated its fifth anniversary by having a room built out of chocolate. They hired Lithuanian ad agency Ad Hunters, who commissioned artist and sculptor Elena Climent to carve the chocolate room.
Elena used 420 kilos of milk, white and dark chocolate to decorate the room and make furniture like chocolate table, sofa, carpet, cutlery, candle holders, and even chocolate flowers. 40% of the room is dark chocolate, another forty is milk chocolate and the rest uses white chocolate.
On November 18, the mall broke up the room into tiny pieces of chocolate and handed to visitors at the plaza. | [

Über dieses Buch
Shakespeare, Authority, Sexuality is a powerful reassessment of cultural materialism as a way of understanding textuality, history and culture, by one of the founding figures of this critical movement. Alan Sinfield examines cultural materialism both as a body of ongoing argument and as it informs particular works by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, especially in relation to sexuality in early-modern England and queer theory.
The book has several interlocking preoccupations:
- theories of textuality and reading
- the political location of Shakespearean plays and the organisation of literary culture today
- the operation of state power in the early-modern period and the scope for dissidence
- the sex/gender system in that period and the application of queer theory in history.
These preoccupations are explored in and around a range of works by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Throughout the book Sinfield re-presents cultural materialism, framing it not as a set of propositions, as has often been done, but as a cluster of unresolved problems. His brilliant, lucid and committed readings demonstrate that the 'unfinished business' of cultural materialism - and Sinfield's work in particular - will long continue to produce new questions and challenges for the fields of Shakespeare and Renaissance Studies. | [

Noirvember Film Series #5:
“The Bad Sleep Well” (1960) (悪い奴ほどよく眠る, “Warui yatsu hodo yoku nemuru“) is a Japanese noir film directed by the acclaimed Akira Kurosawa, who is most known for his contributions such as “Ikiru” (1952), “Seven Samurai” (1954) and “Yojimbo” (1961). In 1990, he received the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. In a previous IngloriousBaguettes series (World War II), “Tora! Tora! Tora!” (1970), the epic two sided approach to the infamous wartime attack of Pearl Harbor, was covered. This was not directed by Kurosawa, but he worked with 20th Century Fox to produce the film, an ambitious international project that helped to shed light on the events from both the US and the Japanese point-of-view. Ambitious projects are nothing new for this director, but this film was the first to be produced under his own independent production company, marking an achievement for the filmmaker.
“The Bad Sleep Well” is a demanding crime drama which opens with a prestigious wedding ceremony shrouded in tabloid fodder, as a flock of reporters push their way to the sidelines in anticipation of a spectacle, and there was a spectacle indeed. Halfway through the toasts, it is time to cut the cake. However, after their wedding cake is brought out, another cake is delivered, one with an ominous hidden message. It emulates the company offices where most of the wedding attendees work, with a dark dropping rose peeking from a seventh story window – the same window where former employee Furuya leapt to his death.
The ceremony was hosted by the revered Public Development Corporation’s Vice President Iwabuchi (Masayuki Mori) whose daughter Yoshiko (Kyōko Kagawa) weds his secretary Koichi Nishi (frequent colloborater and star of many Kurosawa films, Toshiro Mifune). Yoshiko is a naïve and kind-hearted young woman, who suffers from a disability from a childhood incident. Because of this, many question the sincerity of Nishi’s intentions, but he has established a trusting relationship with her protective older brother, Tatsuo (Tatsuya Mihashi), and has worked his way into her heart. If that were not enough to get stir the pot, the company has been under scrutiny over a recent merger with Dairyu Construction Company, and the police crash the event to arrest corporate assistant officer Wada (Kamatari Fujiwara) on charges of bribery. Through the chatter of the onlooking reporters, the audience learns that the events are reminiscent of an earlier scandal involving Iwabuchi, his administrative officer Moriyama (Takashi Shimura) and contract officer Shirai (Kō Nishimura) – the scandal that had resulted in the convenient death of Faruya, putting a dead end to the investigations.
As the authorities continue to question both Wada and Miura (Gen Shimizu) about the kickbacks and bribery schemes, however they are tight lipped and the investigators are forced to release them. However, immediately following their release, Miura commits suicide, and audiences meet Wada standing on the edge of a volcano plucking up the courage to end his life. In a clever series of events, viewers become involved in the behind-the-curtain schemes of the employees as they strive to survive either physically or emotionally and ultimately save themselves.
The cinematography (by Yuzuru Aizawa) and production design (by Yoshirô Muraki) can best be described as dramatic, grandiose, mechanical – each scene portrayed through strong lines and thoughtful composition. There is an almost scientific contrast between the cold and sharp backdrops and the emotional unraveling of the characters within them. Yoshiko, in her withdrawn manner, struggles to feel worthy of love, and their connection plays a more pertinent role in the escalating events than it might initially seem, due to Kurosawa’s intricately constructed writing. “The Bad Sleep Well” is long, and perhaps could have been thirty minutes shorter, but by the final act, he leaves viewers so gutted and enraptured as a result of such elaborate detail. The gossipy journalists warn us of this, as one remarks to the other that it was a wild first act, to which he is met with the response, “ | [

One barrier to becoming a drug addict for some Americans is the price of drugs. They’re curious about what drugs are like, but the price tag on cocaine and other expensive drugs turns them away. Just because you’re foolish enough to want to try drugs doesn’t meant that you’re not frugal, after all.
Legal drugs aren’t always much cheaper. In fact, even though marijuana has been legalized in over twenty states, it is actually incredibly expensive to buy. Buying one ounce of the drug with a medical marijuana card can still cost $400 or more. Casual drug users can balk at paying those prices, too.
One growing epidemic in America seems to be unaffected by prices, however. Heroin was on a decline for many years in the United States, but since the turn of the millennium it has come roaring back as one of the worst drug abuse trends in the country. One reason for this might be due to price.
The Low Cost of Heroin
In some parts of the country, heroin is reportedly being sold for as little as $2 a dose. As reporters in North Carolina are noting, this is cheaper than a bottle of water in many areas! It’s unbelievable, but you can actually buy heroin that is cheaper than water in some parts of our country. With the drug being ready available and at rock bottom prices, too, this may be a major reason that the drug is spreading so quickly.
The drug is usually produced overseas in Afghanistan and Asia, and it is then trafficked all the way to the United States, as we are the biggest consumer of recreational and hard drugs in the entire world. The US’s high standard of living and high wages has led to the ability to buy massive amounts of drugs, and we are being flooded with cheap heroin as a result.
Another Reason for the Spread
Many current heroin users actually got started on the drug after getting addicted to prescription opiate painkillers. These drugs are very similar to heroin, but they are purchased legally from a pharmacy after getting a prescription from a doctor. Millions of Americans are addicted to these opiate drugs, so lawmakers and the police have started cracking down on the supplies of these drugs going to addicts.
The high price of the pills combined with the crackdown has led to addicts having to find new drugs to feed their addiction. With these pain pills being so similar to heroin, and the price being so low, this even more dangerous drug seems like the best alternative. The results have been devastating.
In 2012, 148 people died in North Carolina due to heroin overdoses. That is an increase from the 77 that died from the drug a year before. With 100% increases in the number of people that are dying, we all need to take fast action to keep heroin from spreading even further.
Families that are concerned about the spread of this drug can start by educating their children on what heroin is and what it does. Young people need to understand just how deadly this drug is so that they never get interested in trying it. They also have to know what it looks like so they can report any sightings of the drug or its use to parents and the police.
When we all work together to fight back against drug use and all the problems it causes, we have a real chance of cutting down on the number of people in our communities that will die. | [

This document is a press release announcing the first exhibition of the MSA (Manifestación Sintetista Actualizada) group, which operated out of a two-floor space (fourth and fifth floors) on San Francisco Street in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition to providing details about the exhibition—date, time, and place— it also explains the purpose and intentions that the MSA had in the art scene.
The Galería M.S.A. (Manifestación Sintetista Actualizada) was established in Old San Juan by Teo Freytes and Yrsa Dávila on the fifth floor at calle San Francisco 266, as a space where visual arts would be presented side-by-side with dance, theater, video, and poetry. Within this space, there would be no labeling of works by genre, since the M.S.A. considered everything to be art; which is why no censorship was applied. In addition to holding events to run parallel with exhibitions, the space was used to introduce the work of young and emerging artists of Puerto Rico. | [

Kindness Ranch, an animal sanctuary that takes in former research and laboratory animals, is urgently seeking foster assistance for 19 dogs being released from a laboratory in Colorado. Due to limited space, Kindness Ranch needs rescue groups or foster homes in Colorado who can accept dogs by January 31, 2014.
The dogs are large hound or Labrador mixes, ranging in size from 50-100 pounds. They are young, between one and two years old, and although some are shy with new people and places, they are generally social and friendly and have been around other dogs.
If you’ve ever had a companion animal of your own, you know the incredible healing power of gentle hands and loving hearts. In the case of research animals this power is especially potent.”
Dr. David Groobman, Founder, Kindness Ranch — American Sanctuary for Research Animals
Laboratory dogs may often come with extra challenges, but Stephanie Bilbro, Companion Animal Manager at Kindness Ranch, says the vast majority of them can grow to be wonderful family pets given the right care. “Think of these dogs as puppies in adult bodies,” Bilbro explains. “They need leash training, they may chew, but the ‘ah-ha!’ moments are great.”
In addition to providing sanctuary and rehabilitation for dogs used in laboratory research, Kindness Ranch accepts cats and farm animals, such as horses, pigs and sheep, used for research. The ranch also maintains an adoption program for rehabilitated animals. Animals who are too debilitated, old or ill to be adopted can remain on the ranch to live out their days in the care of dedicated staff and volunteers.

Is a short-term loan right in my situation?
You can find occasions whenever a short-term loan may not be the option that is best.
Short-term loans will often have greater repayments than long-term loans while you’re repaying your debts faster. This will probably suggest you will spend less in interest, but if you want to borrow a greater quantity or distribute the price even more you will need to consider much longer options.
Additionally it is perhaps maybe not a smart concept to get a short-term loan to cover down another financial obligation. Dealing with more debt might make your circumstances even even worse. In the event that you feel like you’re struggling you could get free advice from National Debtline, StepChange or perhaps the cash information Service.
Do I be eligible for a short-term loan?
You want to make fast and loans that are easy to as many folks as feasible. You can easily make an application for certainly one of our short-term loans if:
- You are over 18 years
- You reside the united kingdom and can provide target details
- You are currently working
- You’ve got a legitimate email and cell phone quantity
- You are able to provide bank debit and account card details
Your likelihood of being qualified depends on your circumstances. | [

If you enjoy watching videos or pictures of outer space, you’ve probably noticed that besides stars, planets, and nebulae, space seems empty – as the name implies. However, space is really not as empty as it appears. With the exception of the presence of dark matter and dark energy, virtual particles are also theorized to exist, composing what is thought to be a foundation material of the universe. These virtual particles compose “quantum foam”, which is a similar effect to the bubbles in fizzy drinks that accumulate at the surface to form a foam; virtual particles are the bubbles that amass to form quantum foam.
Virtual particles are different from “normal” particles in that they can appear at any location, but only for a fraction of a second before disappearing again. They also defy the laws of physics by possessing the ability to travel through time, and travelling faster than the speed of light. However, the effects of virtual particles on the universe are negligible – since virtual particles are ephemeral and occur in groups that often display contra-interactions, thus these effects cancel without any alteration of the observable universe. Unlike what we have learnt about conservation of momentum during our Physics tuition classes on Dynamics, many eminent physicists claim that virtual particles do not conserve energy and momentum, contrary to what the uncertainty principle describes, due to the fact that virtual particles do not have the characteristics of actual particles.
The universe, which consists of constantly expanding space, might not be “smooth” as originally believed. In terms of space travel, the universe can be seen as a road – which can be used to reach other destinations (planets, star systems, etc.). Just as roads that are damaged, or un-tarred, are rough, the universe is thought to be rough in nature as well. This is due to the accumulation of virtual particles that form the rough foundation, or quantum foam, of the universe.
Since virtual particles (and quantum foam) cannot be seen, as they are believed to be extremely small, scientists have been using various, yet conventional, methods of observation in attempt to prove the existence of these concepts. Although such techniques of observation have proved unsuccessful in determining proof of the aforementioned concepts, a different experiment (called the “muon g-2 experiment”) was proposed. This experiment shows great potential and researchers are still interpreting and comparing data to prove, with certainty, that quantum foam and virtual particles exist. Additionally, particle physicists theorized that photons, particularly those that have travelled long distances across space, are (collectively) key in proving that the universe is rough and inconsistent. Therefore new models and observation techniques are being developed to study these photons to investigate for further evidence of quantum foam. | [

Between Bill Cosby’s sentencing and Brett Kavanaugh’s hearing, social media timelines are full of opinions and perspectives regarding sexual assault and the American justice system. Honestly, instances like these are very triggering for me so I have not said much, and have often elected to ‘sharing’ posts made by others.
But today, my sister texted me and asked, “Why are people so focused on black versus white in this Cosby situation?“, and because she’s my sister I did not mind speaking on the subject with her.
I think that others may have this same question. I also think that many people who are highlighting race in regard to Cosby’s sentencing do not realize the root of their perspective. So, I’m sharing the full text message (yes, I texted a book lol) that I sent to my sister, in hopes that it will provide maybe a different perspective and contribute to the start/continuation of a very important conversation on what it means to be pro-black, pro-women, and pro-justice overall. Please note that this is an unedited, informal text message to my sister so please forgive any typos, incomplete thoughts, etc.
Text message response:
Because of white supremacy and misogyny…we don’t always realize it but whiteness is our measure of everything. What white privilege grants people is what everyone else desires; which makes sense in a way because privilege is what should be everyone’s normal.
But people struggle to understand intersectionality…how multiple identities intersect with each other. So add gender in with race, and some people fail to acknowledge male privilege along with white privilege. And male privilege is honestly what some black people are actually protecting, but they are doing it through race. So they know that racism exists and can acknowledge that the system often works against black people but when they say “black people” they really mean black men. They aren’t acknowledging how male privilege is at play here and how it causes them to not believe women because “they weren’t there” but in that same breath, believe men even though “they weren’t there.” So that’s the misogyny.
This is why the struggle for black women is even more complex because black women typically get erased. When people are talking about race and black lives matter, they often are only talking about black men. They don’t say it bluntly and it’s subconscious but situations like this show it…because these people’s arguments are not sympathetic of or considerate of women…even though black women are also women and
This is complex and I’m trying to articulate it but basically these people subconsciously are not for women but they “are against racism”….at least when it comes to black men. This is why you see black people protest when black men are killed or brutalized by police but not black women. We have a limited perspective of what justice would be and it’s basically based on the white male experience and for black people, the black man is the closest to that. So what oppression has subconsciously caused us to do is to measure justice based on the white man and not actually right or wrong. Our definition of justice has become what the white man experiences. Many of us are more committed to being able to do what he does and willing to accept his lifestyle as justice, even if it isn’t actually justice for the victim. Because again, often times, black people don’t acknowledge our bias against all other identities outside of race, even though there are BLACK women, BLACK lgbt people, BLACK Muslims, black disabled people. Our advocacy as a people is rooted in advocacy only for the black man so a situation like this hits us to the core.
This is a powerful black man that “made it.” In many peoples eyes, he had pretty much gotten to the level of a white man (even though I completely disagree with that perspective)…until this. So people don’t know how to act and can’t see how their support of him in this moment actually shows that they are not pro-black because them not wanting him to be held accountable actually shows that they condone the oppression that he and people like him cause to women, including black women. Because they are misogynist, and don’t know it.
So I guess that’s the answer to your question. Why is this being made about race? Because misogyny. These people are not pro-women so in this situation they advocate for Cosby based on race and its confusing because no one is actually saying that they are bias against women…they’re all saying they are pro-black…but really the root of their pro-blackness is based on the black man and not inclusive of black women. So their pro-blackness is misogynistic.
If these people identified as both pro-black and pro-woman they wouldn | [

The staff and volunteers of Killarney Recreation Centre are dedicated to offering quality leisure services to the community at large. We understand the cultural diversity of the community and work to bridge the gaps that exist between different people by bringing them together in recreational activities. Inclusivity and access to all is an important aspect of our service delivery.
Killarney Community Centre, swimming pool and ice rink was officially opened on September 14, 1963 by the Vancouver Park Board and the Killarney Community Centre Society. The Community Centre received a complete redevelopment during 1998-1999. The redevelopment allowed Killarney Community Centre to expand its service delivery to a growing community by adding more lounge space, 2 new childcare facilities, and a fitness centre. In April of 2001, Killarney unveiled its community computer lab that allows public access to 11 computers. Most recently, a new $8.9 million NEW pool was approved to be constructed in the 2002 Vancouver Civic Election. Construction on the new, much larger aquatic facility is scheduled to begin in mid-2004. | [

Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning — and the fears of something going badly wrong. The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.
These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs) — most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.
“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK. Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates. | [

The incidence of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in elderly patients is increasing. In this study, pooled data from two phase II trials of pemetrexed and carboplatin (PC) as first-line therapy were retrospectively analysed for comparisons between age groups. Patients received pemetrexed 500 mg m(-2) and carboplatin AUC 5 mg ml(-1) min(-1) intravenously every 21 days with standard vitamin supplementation. Elderly patients were defined as those >or=70 years old. A total of 178 patients with an ECOG performance status of <or=2 were included. Median age was 65 years (range 38-79), with 48 patients >or=70 years (27%). Grade 3-4 haematological toxicity was slightly worse in >or=70 vs <70-year-old patients, with neutropenia observed in 25.0 vs 13.8% (P=0.11), anaemia in 20.8 vs 6.9% (P=0.01) and thrombocytopenia in 14.6 vs 8.5% (P=0.26). Non-haematological toxicity was mild and similar in the two groups. No significant difference was observed in terms of overall disease control (60.4 vs 66.9%, P=0.47), time to progression (7.2 vs 7.5 months, P=0.42) and survival (10.7 vs 13.9 months, P=0.12). Apart from slightly worse haematological toxicity, there was no significant difference in outcome or toxicity between age groups. The PC regimen is effective and well tolerated in selected elderly patients with MPM. | [

Hydraulic oil coolers are essential components of any hydraulic system. Without them, the heat generated by the system would cause it to overheat and malfunction. So where can hydraulic oil coolers be applied? The answer is that hydraulic oil cooling system can be used in a variety of applications, from automotive to industrial and aerospace. In this blog post, we will look at some of the specific applications where oil coolers are used, as well as how they work and their benefits. Read on to learn more!
How does a hydraulic oil cooler work?
What are the benefits of using a hydraulic oil cooler?
Where can hydraulic oil coolers be applied?
●Hydraulic oil cooler is a device used to cool hydraulic fluid in order to maintain its proper temperature. There are two types of hydraulic oil coolers: air-cooled and water-cooled. Air-cooled oil coolers use air to dissipate heat from the fluid, while water-cooled oil coolers use water to remove heat.
●The main purpose of a hydraulic oil cooler is to keep the fluid within the system at a consistent temperature. This prevents the fluid from becoming too hot and damaging the system, or too cold and causing it to malfunction. Hydraulic oil coolers are typically used in applications where the fluid is under high pressure and/or high temperatures.
●Hydraulic oil coolers work by using a series of tubes and fins to dissipate heat. The hydraulic oil is circulated through the tubes, and the fins help to transfer the heat away from the fluid. In most cases, the oil cooler is mounted in front of the radiator, and it uses the engine cooling fans to help cool the fluid.
Hydraulic oil cooler uses water or air to cool hydraulic fluid in systems. By using a hydraulic oil cooler, the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is kept consistent, which can result in increased equipment life and more efficient system operation. Additionally, using a hydraulic oil-cooler can help prevent issues such as overheating, component wear, and decreased efficiency.
●Hydraulic oil coolers can be used in a variety of applications where heat needs to be dissipated from hydraulic fluid. They are commonly used in power transmissions, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery. In each of these applications, the oil cooler helps to maintain optimal fluid temperatures, which in turn extends the life of the hydraulic system components.
●Hydraulic oil coolers are a great way to ensure that your machinery and equipment is running safely and efficiently, as they provide additional cooling power for all of your hydraulic systems. By using a quality hydraulic oil cooler, you can greatly extend the life of your machinery and reduce downtime due to overheating. With so many different applications available, it's important to find the right one for your specific needs in order to get the most out of any system. If you are looking for a supplier of high quality hydraulic oil cooler s at a reasonable price, the m-stirling is a very good choice. | [

With the advent of digitalization, now photographers have plenty of choices to create the look of photos aesthetically appealing. It has opened up a new world for photographers where they can use their skills and make their photos tempting.
Using some image editing software like Photoshop helps in getting a perfect digital backdrop. It creates greater possibilities for creating more varieties, which users can take advantage of. Let us understand more about what is the digital backdrop.
What are Digital Backdrops?
Digital Backdrop is a style of photography in which the photographers create a digital image using photo editing tools. Then the subject is positioned in a way, which can work for a backdrop, and then the second image is taken.
Now, by combining both images using Photoshop, they create a perfect image. Both images will be processed together in a way, which provides a realistic look. We all have seen some examples of it but never realized that it is a digital backdrop.
Here, the photographer needs to make sure by considering a material where the subject will be placed so that an easy cut-out can be made. In addition to that, the photographer needs to add the light source in the same position as it was in the backdrop. Then just go with the perfect angle for clicking a realistic picture.
The photographers also have to keep the style of both of the photos the same by matching exposure and saturation levels. Some hand-editing work is also required so that the images can be blended perfectly.
Is it an easy task to go with Digital Backdrop?
It can be an easy task for professionals who have been in this industry for a long time. Digital Backdrop always requires special attention while taking pictures or if the picture is not captured properly, the results will not be satisfying.
That’s why it is quite necessary to keep the image in front of the camera. Then go with proper lighting, camera angle, exposure, and focal length to get a perfectly captured image. Here, you need to make sure that both images should complement each other. The picture quality should be pleasing or the results will not be believable.
It couldn’t be a complex task to create digital backdrops for photographers. They need to acquire special attention and use some skills for proper editing.
So, you just need to be very careful while capturing those photos. Here are some important points that you need to care about.
1. Focus on capturing the perfectly angled image.
2. Go for the appropriate backdrop as per your needs.
3. Practice all the necessary editing skills, which will help to create a realistic digital composite.
How to use Digital Backdrops?
To use Digital Backdrops, composition is an essential task. To composite both images together, you need to go with an image editing software that supports layers, such as Adobe Photoshop.
You will also need a general understanding of layers and proper image compositing. As per our experience, we have seen that many people are facing the issues of lacking concentration during angling, which results in shadows. When positioning the subject to the backdrop, it is essential to focus on the lights whether they are hitting the subject and elements with having the same angle.
Well, you will be staggered to know that in some instances, photographers need to add shadows in the pictures for a realistic look. That’s why it is always necessary to study how light falls and creates shadows that look realistic.
Digital Backdrops are getting highly popular nowadays and it is the perfect thing to frame the background productively. The visual impact is something people always keep in their mind and that’s where Digital Backdrop comes to play.
Photographers can create different types of backdrops at their convenience. Professional photographers never face any hassles while capturing digital backdrops. The reason is that they have proper attention while capturing and know very well about the effect of the lights and angles.
Using digital backgrounds is the perfect way to create a visual impact without purchasing an expensive backdrop. So, we hope that things are pretty clear to you. | [

We specialise in providing solutions for:
The Gum Blaster is an innovative gum removal tool that has a unique ability to remove, collect, and contain hardened chewing gum from surfaces. Used in conjunction with Hot Water Pressure Washers, the Gum Blaster utilises its 18 in-built pressure intensifying needle jets to concentrate the water flow onto the affected area, quickly dislodging and removing the chewing gum.
Steam Cleaners produce steam at very high temperatures to quickly soften gum deposits so that they lose their adhesion to the surface. They can be used safely in high-traffic public areas, as Steam Cleaners have an instant-dry feature and create no water residue. As a cost-efficient option, Steam Cleaners do not require the use of detergent and can reduce water usage by up to 90%. They provide an effective solution for gum management, and operate with minimal disruption and environmental impact.
With the ability to clean vertical surfaces, Vacuum Surface Cleaners are able to remove built-up grime and graffiti from walls and other hard surfaces. Our range of hand-held vacuum surface cleaners, are ideally suited to offer versatility, and effective cleaning in a wide array of conditions, allowing the cleaning of hard to reach areas.
Hot Water Pressure Washers combine heat and power to create an abrasive effect, which works to loosen graffiti paint. Highly pressurized water will then penetrate deep into the surface to lift out embedded graffiti paint for a rigorous clean. As well as removing graffiti, Hot Water Pressure Washers can also be used to clean footpaths, pavements, building exteriors and gum.
Truck Mounted Cleaning Equipment uses a combination of high pressure, hot water, and powerful suction to clean and collect waste water. This prevents environmental contamination cause by water-run off, and will leave areas clean, dry, and safe to use. These machines are effective for outdoor hard surface cleaning on tile and concrete, indoor cleaning, carpet cleaning, graffiti management, chewing gum removal as well as the general cleaning of foot paths and pavements.
The Vacu-Boom is a unique spill containment system that can be used to collect waste water-run off that occurs from indoor and outdoor washing operations. It can also be used for the containment of hazardous spills such as chemicals and works effectively on hard surfaces such as concrete. The Vacu-Boom is easy to set up, transport and store.
Silent Pressure Washers offer a quick and quiet way to clean. Their low decibel rating allows for their application in noise-sensitive areas as well as for early morning, evening and night-time cleaning. As Silent Pressure Washers run on fuel, they are completely portable. They can be used for the cleaning of walkways, decking, benching and bins and are also effective for removing graffiti. When used in conjunction with a Gum Blaster, Silent Pressure Washers facilitate fast gum removal.
Sweepers are designed for removing dirt and debris from foot paths, roads, and pavements. They feature powerful suction and a hydraulic hopper to store collected waste. Also used for floor cleaning, Scrubbers perform multiple functions. They can sweep, scrub and vacuum floors all in one pass and have a large surface area coverage. Both Sweepers and Scrubbers are designed with low noise levels to allow for public place cleansing without causing disturbance to occupants nearby.

I’ve recently discovered that I absolutely love the smell of sweet almond oil. It started when I picked up a tub of Almond Body Butter from The Body Shop winter sale a couple of months ago and it’s become a full-blown obsession. I find the warm, nutty fragrance has just enough sweetness to be feminine without being sickly, and is tempered by a vanilla-like creaminess.
Sweet almond oil is one of the most versatile, multipurpose skin care oils out there. It is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals and is therefore extremely nourishing and revitalising, especially for dry skin. It absorbs quickly and soothes skin irritation while helping to maintain moisture levels. The omega-3 fatty acid, vitamin E and magnesium contained in sweet almond oil are also great for your hair.
Here are the favourite sweet almond products in my stash:
The Body Shop Body Butters really are the unsung heroes of my bodycare routine. I always have a tub or two hanging around and at the moment I alternate the Almond one with my Lipidol After Shower Oil. I think they are incredibly good value (especially if you score them in the sale for R55 like I did yesterday!) and come in a massive variety of scents, although Almond is my all-time favourite. It sinks in quickly but still leaves my skin feeling really supple and moisturised, even at the end of the day.
Camilla bought this when we were in Greece last year and mentioned it in her October 2013 favourites, so I had my eyes peeled for it when I went back in August. A tube soon made its way into my basket at Athens airport and I’ve used it about once a week since. It works very quickly (you only need to leave it on for 3-5 minutes), softening and nourishing the hair without weighing it down or leaving a residue. It contains almond and linseed extracts (obviously) along with shea butter which helps the hair retain moisture, while increasing its resistance against breakage and split ends.
The last time I visited the Korres counter at Edgars in Canal Walk they didn’t stock this product, which is a real shame because it’s one of my favourites in their range.
I have no idea whether this stuff contains sweet almond oil but it certainly smells like it does! These two variants from the brilliant EverRiche range (which, for some inexplicable reason, isn’t available in SA) inject extra moisture and softness into dry, fine hair, with zero sulphates or waxes. The shampoo lathers up amazingly well and the conditioner is really intensive, plus the scent hangs around all day which is just fine by me!
If you’re interested, you can buy this very affordable range from Feel Unique who offer free worldwide delivery on orders over £10.

|dc.description.abstract||The purpose of this dissertation is to enhance the applicability and the accuracy
of the Poisson cluster stochastic rainfall generators.
Firstly, the 6 parameters of the Modified Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse
(MBLRP) stochastic rainfall simulation model were regionalized across the contiguous
United States. Each of the parameters of MBLRP model estimated at 3,444 National
Climate Data Center (NCDC) rain gages was spatially interpolated based on the
Ordinary Kriging technique to produce the parameter surface map for each of the 12
months of the year. Cross-validation was used to assess the validity of the parameter
maps. The results indicate that the suggested maps reproduce well the statistics of the
observed rainfall for different accumulation intervals, except for the lag-1
autocorrelation coefficient. The estimated parameter values were also used to produce
the maps of storm and rain cell characteristics.
Secondly, the relative importance of the rainfall statistics in the generation of
watershed response characteristics was estimated based on regression analyses using the
rainfall time series observed at 1099 NCDC rain gages. The result of the analyses was
used to weigh the rainfall statistics differently in the parameter calibration process of MBLRP model. It was observed that synthetic rainfall time series generated weighing
the precipitation statistics according to their relative importance outperformed those
generated weighing all statistics equally in predicting watershed runoff depths and peak
flows. When all statistics were given the same weight, runoff depths and peak flows
were underestimated by 20 percent and 14 percent, respectively; while, when the statistics were
weighed proportionally to their relative importance, the underestimation was reduced to
4 percent and 3 percent, which confirms the advantage of weighing the statistics differently. In
general, the value of the weights depends on the hydrologic process being modeled.
Lastly, a stochastic rainfall generation model that can integrate year-to-year
variability of rainfall statistics is suggested. The new framework consists of two parts.
The first part generates the short-term rainfall statistics based on the correlation between
the observed rainfall statistics. The second part generates the rainfall time series using
the modified Bartlett-Lewis rectangular pulse model based on the simulated rainfall
statistics. The new approach was validated at 104 NCDC gages across the United States
in its ability to reproduce rainfall and watershed response characteristics. The result
indicates that the new framework outperformed the traditional approach in reproducing
the distribution of monthly maximum rainfall depths, monthly runoff volumes and
monthly peak flows.||en | [

MPC tent I got at the Westcoaster show.
The man with the rifle is a first series Tim Mee soldier. The other man is their second series.
Tim Mee first series troops were World War Two / Korean War era. Later they came out with these Cold War troops. These figures were a bit chunkier but still 60mm. Tim Mee made the prone figure with a separate M60 machine gun, often lost. They also made a bazooka but no gunner, so I often used the bazooka with the M60 gunner.
Here you can clearly see the magazine protruding from the bottom, indicating an M14 rifle.

LJ and Caster try to find form
LJ VAN Zyl says he is struggling with an injury niggle but he is vowing to return to his best for the London Olympics next month.
Van Zyl, the 400m hurdles bronze medallist at last year’s world championships, has withdrawn from tonight’s (Thursday night’s) Diamond League meet in Oslo.
“There has been some speculation as to my physical preparation leading up to the London Olympic Games and I would like to assure the South African public and sponsors on some of the facts,” said Van Zyl, who has struggled to break 50 seconds this season after cracking a 47.66s personal best last year.
“I pulled out of Oslo due to a lingering knee irritation. My coach Hennie Kotze has restructured my competition planning and training program to allow myself time to rest for a few days and we will resume training on Monday...
“If everything goes according to plan, I will attempt to defend my African title at the African Championships in Benin from June 27-30.
“We are confident that all measures are in place for a successful build up to London Games.”
Van Zyl is one of SA’s key medal hopes, having also won silver as part of the 4x400m relay team at the world championships.
The Olympic heats for the 400m hurdles are on August 3 with the final three days later.
Caster Semenya, another medallist from the world championships, has also been struggling for form.
Hezekiel Sepeng, the first black South African to win an Olympic medal when he took the 800m silver at the 1996 Atlanta Games, believes she should stop competing and focus on training.
“The good thing is that (she is) not injured like (Mbulaeni) Mulaudzi. (She) must back off from competition and just train.”
Semenya, with a 1min 55.45sec personal best, has not been inside two minutes in Europe. She finished second to reigning Olympic champion Pamela Jelimo in her first big outing, but was then blown away in the next outing.
“Losing too often can affect you psychologically,” warned Sepeng, saying he himself had a mental block when he raced against Wilson Kipketer, the world record-holder at the time.
“If I felt my legs were tired and Wilson was just ahead of me, I would say I will settle for second.
“The 800m is Caster’s territory. But if everybody comes up and beats you they don’t respect you. If they know you’re not in shape and you go in front in a race, they will chase you down.”
Sepeng said when he stepped on to the track ahead of the 800m final at the 1999 world championships in Sevilla, he knew he was going to get a medal. “I knew I had run with everybody in the field and beaten them. You must remember that most of the guys are just trying to get into the final, especially the Europeans. For them it’s a great thing to make a final.
“Not everybody is trying to get a medal — you really have only three or four rivals.”
Sepeng knows what it takes to come back from poor form — he helped a despondent Mulaudzi fight back to win a silver at the 2004 Games in Athens.
Mulaudzi had returned from illness and then endured two poor races in the build-up to the Olympics. “After Zurich he said ‘I want to go home’. I said to him ‘no, you have four weeks before you race. You can do three weeks of hard training and then recover in the last week. You can do it.’”
Hopefully Semenya and Van Zyl can do it too. | [

A toddler in India died of electrocution last Saturday after placing a mobile phone charger cable into her mouth.
A report by The Times of India noted that the child, identified as Shehvar, along with her mother Razia, was visiting her grandmother’s home in Jahangirabad, India for Ramadan when the incident happened.
According to the reported accounts, the child had been playing alone and unattended when she had apparently placed a live charging cable into her mouth which was left plugged in.
It is said that the child was rushed to the hospital after the freak electrocution but was pronounced dead on arrival.
A representative from the Jahangirabad police station, Akhilesh Pradhan mentioned that no official police report has been made regarding the incident.
“The family has not approached us with any police complaint, so a case has not been filed.
“However, if somebody approaches us for a complaint, it will be done according to the norms.†said Pradhan.
Earlier in March, a seven year-old boy from Indonesia had been electrocuted to death playing with his grandmother’s phone while it was charging.
The boy was apparently playing with the phone while the grandmother
was busy tending to her chores. After several hours, the grandmother had approached
the boy to wake him, thinking that he was asleep.
Receiving a shock herself when she touched him, the woman panicked and her calls for help were answered by a neighbor who immediately turned off the main power supply to the home, but found the boy was no longer breathing.
Police later said that the child had died on the spot during the incident.

The soft, supple, and strong long-staple 100% cotton fibers of this substantial dish cloth are woven in a classic waffle weave (also known as honeycomb fabric), a traditional stitch specifically designed to give the individual fibers enough room to absorb the maximum amount of liquid and enough air flow between warp and weft to allow the cloth dry quickly. Perfect for heavy lifting in the kitchen, the heft of the cloth and variegation of the stitching also give it enough chutzpah to do some serious scrubbing. You wash, we'll dry.
Note: While this (obviously) has some major functional prowess, this cloth is seriously pretty. Drape it over a pie or let it shine in the guest bathroom. | [

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” ~ Nelson Mandela
Learned vs. Situational Courage…
When we speak of courage, it is almost always in context with major, life changing/ending events such as impulsively walking into a burning building to rescue a frightened child, or jumping into a raging river to save the life of a complete stranger.
Clearly, these are acts of heroism and courage. They are what I like to call “Situational Courage.”
You are going though your daily routine and BOOM — something extraordinary happens to vault you into a situation where you must take immediate action—usually without thinking—or even taking time to consider the risks.
You see what must be done and you do it.
Instinctively. Automatically. Regardless of the consequences.
Situational Courage is very much like “Situational Leadership” where the demands of the situation and circumstances require you to forget about your “comfort zone”… engage your senses… suspend ordinary logic… and leap into action.
Learned Courage is very different, and is the basis of what we call The Winner’s Mindset™ — Absolute Clarity of Values… leading to Absolute Clarity of Vision… leading to Absolute Clarity of the Roles you will play to LIVE your values and ACHIEVE your visions.
This Clarity leads to the unstoppable Conviction that what you are doing is the RIGHT thing for you to be doing. Which leads to the unconditional Commitment to preserver at any cost.
Which, of course, leads to the Courage to take the actions necessary to ultimately WIN your daily battles.
The great news is that these 4 C’s of The Winner’s Mindset™ are all LEARNED skills and are not dependent on hero-based external forces or being randomly thrown into a situation outside your daily routine.
You simply develop stunning CLARITY which leads to total CONVICTION and the COMMITMENT to take COURAGEOUS action each and every day!
You live then out of Learned Courage, continuously growing into the position where you WIN far more often than you lose… and ultimately live the life you were destined to live.
You live your BEST life each day.
You become a Success On Purpose!
Over the years of working with millions of people, we have found that there is a crying need to help people amp-up their courage while systematically reducing their fears.
Not to ignore their fears, but rather, face them in a fresh new way.
Fear is natural and is nature’s way of alerting us to and dealing with danger… anything that can cause us to lose life, limb or that which is important to us.
Anything: Time… life… money… respect… friendship… career opportunities… the list is, in fact, endless. If you have little time and even less money, you will naturally have a fear of losing it. But, that doesn’t mean you should permit the fear of loss to stop you. It means that you must develop some Learned Courage and take action IN SPITE of the fear you feel.
Think about the fears currently holding you back from the life you love. Which of these best describes a dominate fear in your life?
- Fear of the Future… All the things that could happen to you and your loved ones… the pending gloom over all the possibilities and potentialities that could go wrong. The best antidote to this fear is to clarify your visions in context with your values, and establish a realistic role—based on your skills and talents—for you to play in making the future turn out grand.By the way. This is the fear that dead stops most people from picking up a pen / paper and writing down their dreams and goals. It is the fear that keeps people locked in status quo, business as usual thinking. This fear is so common that it is the underlying cause of virtually every kind of uncertainty and doubt over what to do… when to do it… and why. People with a relentless fear of the future rarely, if ever, even take the first step towards making their hopes and dreams real… simply because they fear setting a DEADLINE for their accomplishment.
- Fear of Failure… This fear is easily resolved when the values contained inside your biggest visions are kept at the forefront of every decision you make and every action you take. Learn to remain connected to your values and committed to your goals and the fear of failure silently fades away.Otherwise, you will tend to focus on what you might LOOSE rather than what you will GAIN… and be forever locked in the state of mind where the TROUBLE to be faced is greater than the TREASURE to be found.
- Fear of Success… This | [

Bills rookie running back Jonathan Williams was arrested Thursday morning and charged with DWI, according to multiple reports.
Ex-Hog RB Jonathan Williams released on $765 bond this morning in Wash Co., charged with DWI. Booked at 3:21 a.m., released 5:29 a.m.— Thomas Murphy (@TomMurphyADG) July 14, 2016
According to the police report, obtained by KNWA, the officer noticed red, watery eyes and slurred speech from Williams during the arrest. Police also added there was a "strong odor of intoxicants on his breath and swaying balance."
Williams, who claims he only had one beer at an earlier point in the night, refused to take a breathalyzer test.
The rookie's problems add more headaches to the Bills' backfield, albeit a much more serious dilemma. Projected starter LeSean McCoy is dealing with an ankle injury and backup Karlos Williams (who had strong production in 2015) is reportedly overweight, and will begin training camp on the sideline. | [

Thanks for clarifying, Jay500. Glad that we're on the same page. :) In addition to the general discernment that all believers should cultivate (mentioned in Hebrews 5:14), there's also a specific gift among those spiritual gifts described in Romans 12:6–8. Someone who has the first gift (prophecy) is often referred to as a "perceiver." Here's what the book "Know Your Ministry" by Marilyn Hickey (which is about spiritual gifts) says about the matter: "The gift of prophecy... is the ability to discern.... People with the prophecy motivation have great spiritual insight into what motivates others. They'see' what prompts people's actions and can identify their intentions as being good or evil." Anyway, I bet that just about any believer who is a mature "perceiver" would see right through Mitt Romney's actions. :) Incidentally, the book I mentioned above is a great introduction to spiritual gifts. Sadly, very few believers seem to understand what their spiritual gifts are. It's important that we learn to recognize them so that we can use them effectively to build up the Body of Christ. I'm so glad that I've been able to learn more about this important topic.
Jay500 posted a comment · Feb 18, 2020
What I meant was simply what you stated: that believers should never judge a man’s motives unfairly and unjustly. Getting to the bottom of a matter requires impartiality and an unbiased mindset. Only a man who puts truth ahead of himself is able to make a righteous evaluation. I should agree with God, not myself. In the case of Romney and the democrats, there was no corroborating evidence that affirmed their allegations. Their decision to impeach was solely based on their subjective take of what he said. This was arrogance on their part. The way and manner they held the hearings, and by their vociferous statements against Trump in the past are sufficient indications that there was no real desire for justice. It was their state of mind, and thus motives, that should have been questioned by anyone who is truly objective... Judging is a spiritual issue. Righteous judgment requires discernment. Discernment requires death to self. This is how truth should ultimately be determined. There’s never an advantage in being naive. In this regard, we are to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Jay500, excellent points. I wasn't clear about this statement, though: "Believers should never judge a man’s motives just like Romney and the democrats judged president Trumps. It takes arrogance to do that." If you're saying that they judged Trump unfairly and unjustly, then I can agree with that. However, the idea that we can *never* attempt to judge someone's motivations, as Brown seems to imply in this article, is just plain silly. Almost every time she hears a case, Judge Judy is judging people's motivations. Is that wrong? In general, no. That's her job. Here's how John 7:24 puts it: "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” If you are sincere and your goal is to honestly uncover the truth, then it's not necessarily wrong to question people's motivations, as long as you try to be fair about it. On the other hand, if you have no regard for the actual truth but just want to smear someone—as the Democrats seem to have done with Trump—then it *is* wrong. Similarly, if you have a beam in your own eye, then you have no business trying to judge someone else until you get rid of that first. Of course, it's one thing to question someone's motivations, but it's quite another to say that you know with absolute certainty what they were thinking. We rarely have 100% certainty about anything. But anyway, when someone has a history of slimy character (as Romney clearly does), then it isn't typically wrong to question their motivations and to be skeptical about their statements. In fact, to do otherwise is simply naive. And the Bible commands us Christians to be wise and discerning, not naive and gullible. As Proverbs 14:15a says, "The simple man believes every word." I mean, should we actually believe Nancy Pelosi when she says that she "prays" for President Trump?? LOL.
Jay500 posted a comment · Feb 16, 2020
Dr. Brown, Maybe you believed Romney when he said he agonized over his decision. That’s your prerogative. But I ask, how would you actually know for sure and what’s the point anyway? If his cutting himself off politically is a major reason that you took to heart when you believed him at his word, then why isn’t it not also possible that his bitterness could have | [

Basle(?), ca. 1521/22
Embroidery, gold thread and coloured silks on linen
height 125.5 cm, width 54 cm
The crucifix embroidered in fine needlework is believed to have come from the Amerbach Cabinet. It may be either the «crucifix embroidered in gold» in inventory G of 1602, or that «in a single golden piece» on a chasuble of blue velvet, which Ritter Hans Kilchmann, a close friend of the Amerbach family, donated to the Carthusian monastery of St. Theodor in Basle. It belongs to the type known as «Christus am Astkreuz» (Christ on the cross with branches): the Latin cross with stumps of branches recalls the Tree of Life and is a symbol of immortality. Needlework in which gradations of colour are achieved by the intermeshing of yellow, red and light blue silks, and which is couched with gold and silver threads, is typical of liturgical embroideries of the Late Gothic and Renaissance periods. | [

We know the exact age of Universe and the earth. We know when life began on earth. Is the formation of life a result of random grouping of atoms and molecules? Is evolution the outcome of random mutations? If so, is the chances of such series of random mutations resulting in formation of human beings, consistent with probability theories that it might be possible in some 4.5 billion years. My motto is "I doubt that although Human Evolution may be outcome of random events and hence a happening of chance, we could appreciate it for a rare outcome." But since I know almost nothing on this subject, feel free to teach me the basics. | [

|hope in my heart (standard:other, 276 words)|

|Hope sings in my heart despite how the world looks today. Let people say what they may about me, but I know the truth.|
Hope sings in my heart is something I learned from my mother. She was a brave woman and life was good to her. Hope is what brings sunshine into your life and gives you the courage to move forward in life. To push yourself beyond your comfort zone and smile when the world tells you that you are not good enough. You may put on your best clothes and live in a fabulous zip code, but if your smile is fake and your words are false, what good is the pretense? Hope lets you stand tall and happy in your own skin, despite what others may say or think about you. You know better! Your true friends will stand by you and tell you the truth, even if it hurts to hear it. Be kind to all you meet because you never know what pain that may linger in their own hearts. Love is stronger than fear. Fear is only "fake experience appearing real". The emotion of fear in true terms is most likely to keep you from harm. Mostly to run away from danger. Good in some situations but mostly try to use your common sense. Don't judge to quickly, be fair in your judgements. Be kind. Keep hope in your heart. The world needs more hope. Less complacency. More love, smiles and light-hearted happiness. Try to marvel at something beautiful and let yourself enjoy the moments that are yours and yours alone. It's your life, let hope fill your heart and remember you are one marvelous human being. Thanks for being you, my friend! Be hopeful for a grand future! It's all yours! Tweet

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has called on Nigerians to be patriotic, and peaceful and show true sportsmanship as they exercise their civic rights to vote on Saturday.
Jonathan also urged politicians to avoid hatred and violence, and be circumspect in their work and actions toward consolidating the country’s democracy.
He made the call in a message to Nigerians released by Ikechukwu Eze, his Special Adviser, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Jonathan said that Nigerians must not let elections be a means of violence and anarchy.
He said, “We must desist from the temptation of yielding to those desirous of making our communities and states theatres of conflicts for their selfish ends.
“Let us eschew hatred and violence and display true sportsmanship during and after the poll.”
Jonathan said that the 2023 election means so much to all the citizens, describing it as a moment of truth and courage.
He also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), critical stakeholders, security agencies, and civil and non-partisan to be professional in carrying out their duties during the general election.
Reports state that this year’s presidential election will take place on Saturday, 25 February, across the 36 States of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). | [

I bought 1.5 metres of this viscose jersey called ‘Sunny Spring’ for £15.00 from Stitchy Bee just last month. Remembering how well the Cowl neck Freya from Tilly and the Buttons book ‘Stretch’ works with this substrate, decided that was exactly what I would make with this length of fabric.
My copy of the pattern is now Tried and Tested so this time the construction was very straightforward. I stitched mostly using my overlocker but also the sewing machine for the top stitching around the neckline and twin needles for the hem on the body of the Freya.
It took just a couple of hours this afternoon to complete the top which fits very nicely into my ‘Spring Greens and Daffodils’ theme. The top looks good with both Grey and Blue denim jeans and will be comfortable and smartly casual.
Time to revisit the Sewaholic Fraser top view B. I last made this back in February this year with some inexpensive Ponte that I had purchased from an eBay seller.
This time I was using a stunningly soft, fine French Terry called Happy Stripes designed for you by POPPY Europe Oeko-Tex 100. This has beautiful painterly stripes on an ivory background. A gorgeous fabric with a fine looped reverse from Stitchy Bee. The fabric costs £15.00 per metre and I bought 1.5 metres but worth every single penny!
The fabric is 160cm wide, has a composition – 95% Cotton 5% Elastane. Oeko-Tex Confidence Compliant – Tested for harmful substances. So I wanted a top that would compliment this fantastic fabric.
For my Fraser top there were just a few minor alterations to the pattern; I cut a generous size 20 and used only ¼ inch side seams. Lowered the front neckline 1 ½ inches at centre front then graded back to the original neckline. Added 3 inches to the length of the front and back body patterns. Added the neckband (cut 2 inches wide) and sleeve bands cut so that the stripes were vertical and ignored the hem bands on this version.
Matching stripes was relatively easy, especially as I had noticed that they were uneven so made sure to cut out all pieces in the same direction.
Conclusions: The sleeve hem bands were great but I will probably go back and re-cut the neckline wider and lower so will need another neckband and this time a little narrower than before. Other than that a great new top that will coordinate with many ‘bottoms’.
Having completed the Kitty dress in Autumnal tones Feather print viscose I began planning my Spring sewing collection which I have called ‘Spring Green and Daffodils’.
First I made the pin tucked tunic top (B6024) that has been on my ‘to do’ list for several years. Then I wanted to make another Yellow/Mustard dress that would have different features to my current Yellow Springtime dress.
I bought a length of Golden Yellow/Pale Mustard Floral Breeze viscose from JJTextiles, Manchester for £18.00 back on 13th November 2020. I had 4 metres of this fabric and decided to use my TNT ‘Moira’ pattern to make a dress with deep hem frill. Originally I had intended to add full length sleeves gathered into a cuff. Then I thought I would draft a fuller short sleeve that would be gathered into a frilled cuff but when it came to cutting out, I stuck to the standard sleeve. If I had sufficient fabric I would possibly add a frill to the hem of the sleeves.
Construction of this dress is like a well-oiled machine. There is a full lining in Ivory Viscose Voile that was purchased in bulk from the Fabric Room. I can usually complete the sewing in two sessions but this time due to interruptions and a bout of illness it has taken several.
At last it is completed, as usual I am pleased with the resultant dress that is so comfortable and easy to wear. Now I can get on with the next project on my ‘to make’ list.
I have had this tunic top on my eBay watch list for over a year. Having checked the price for this 90%polyester/10% cotton blend and read the reviews which were not particularly good I knew that I would have to make my own. Now finally I have got around to making my version using this pretty quilting cotton print fabric.
I bought a length of about 3 metres several years ago at the Festival of Quilts and have made view B of the pattern Butterick B6024.
I have used this pattern before for both a tunic top and also extended to full length for nightdresses so did not feel that it would be necessary to make a toile. I made just 2 changes to the pattern by shortening the sleeves by 2 | [

Oct. 14, 2020 - Whether it’s appliances, personal devices, or office tools, people are demanding more from their technology. Today’s tech needs to be able to offer convenience, safety, and the ability to interface with other devices on a network.
Window shades have not escaped the smart tech trend. People are seeking solutions to maximize the benefits and sustainability of window shades without breaking the budget. Things like no touch tech, automation, and flexibility are key requirements.
The FlexShade® Recharge is a battery-powered solution designed for today’s smart homes and offices. It installs like a manual shade, with no wiring required, and by adding the optional data hub, the Recharge can provide simple and inexpensive automation for home or small commercial projects.
Here are four ways the Recharge data hub can turn any shade project into a smart project:
Speak to me.
Voice command is becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives. It is convenient, provides a touchless control interface, and—let’s face it—is just cool. The Recharge data hub lets you intuitively control shades with simple voice commands through Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit.
You may already have access to automation through your home or office network. The Recharge data hub provides a high-speed network connection via built-in Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable, ensuring swift, wireless control of your shades.
A fully networked automation solution may be more than is required for small projects. The FlexShade Recharge has a simpler solution: sunrise and sunset detection. The data hub can automatically raise or lower the shades according to timers set up in the app.
Forgot to raise or lower the office shades and now you’re at home? Or you’ve gone on vacation and left the shades in your home open? Don’t worry. There’s an app for that.
With the Automate app you control and program the shades remotely. You can also monitor shades battery levels and shade positions through the app or through smart assistants. The app is available for all Android phones, tablets and iOS devices, including Apple watches and iPads.
Of course the FlexShade Recharge has many other advantages going for it. The rechargeable batteries are built into the motor and can go up to 500 cycles between charges. There’s even an optional solar panel to keep the motors charged without using electricity.
But by adding the data hub, you can bring a new level of smart control to your window shades.
Click here to learn more about the FlexShade Recharge and all the various control options.

We’ve all been there–standing in front of the mirror and “what to our wandering eyes should appear” is another wrinkle. You tell yourself that it wasn’t there two months ago but then reality sets in and you realize you are “getting older.” Struggling with aging is not what God intends for His children. In our society we have a tendency to look on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart.
Living in a world where social media ads and other forms of advertisements are readily available, we notice “how to become” younger by using certain products to reduce those fine lines and wrinkles, remove all of those dark spots, and color our hair to get rid of all the gray. There are ads for exercise equipment, diet programs, liposuction, and ageless creams to help us achieve that younger looking body and to get smoother, younger-looking skin.
But what is the secret to longevity? According to healthyline.com, you can obtain a healthy lifestyle and live longer if you follow certain criteria to get there. The list consists of: avoid overeating; eat more fruits/vegetables; be more physically active; don’t smoke; prioritize your happiness; avoid chronic stress and anxiety; nurture your social circle; drink coffee or tea in moderation; and develop a good sleeping pattern.
All of the above-mentioned guidelines are helpful in avoiding strokes, heart attacks, and getting a healthier immune and digestive system. However, on January 1st each year people all around the world make New Year’s resolutions to begin another year with new vigor by following a certain diet, getting more exercise, and breaking an unhealthy habit. Unfortunately, statistics have proven that most people fail in their pursuit of “healthiness” by February or March because they tried to focus on too many changes at one time and did not begin at a slower pace.
We are also told by naturallivingfamily.com that “life killers” threaten our health in a bigger way: toxic living; lack of movement; no community; and broken relationships. All of these killers attack our emotional and mental health in one way or another. Living a life worth living, no retirement in an abundant life–being more productive in our latter years–and staying active should help us reach our healthy goal.
In Genesis 5 there is an account of Noah’s line indicating that he, along with his children, lived well beyond in years. Noah built the ark when he was 500 years old and died when he was 950 years old. Adam lived to be 930 years and the oldest man in the Bible, Methuselah, lived to be 969. But then in Genesis 6:3, God decided that man should not live as long by saying, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.” (NIV) Currently, our median age is 90 years.
So how do we live a long, healthy life God’s way?
Proverbs 3:1-2: “My son, do not forget the teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.” (NIV) God’s Word is filled with promises for living a fulfilling life in Him. Reading His Word and applying those principles in our lives every day will help us live a healthy lifestyle and prolong our lives.
Proverbs 4:10-11: “Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I will guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.” (NIV) We are to hold on to God’s instruction and not let it go because He promises to be with us and uphold us in our life’s journey.
Proverbs 9:10-11: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.” (NIV) Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding are the key to a longer life.
Proverbs 10:27: “The fear of the Lord adds length to life, but years of the wicked are cut short.” (NIV) Reverence and respect for the Lord’s provision and to all that He is gives us renews vitality in our mind, heart, and soul.
Proverbs 17:6 reminds us that “our children’s children are a crown of the aged, and parents are the pride of their children”; and Proverbs 16:31 tells us that “gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life.” (NIV) Allowing the Holy Spirit to live within you (by loving the Lord God with all your heart, mind, and soul and loving your neighbor as yourself) and allowing God to renew you from within | [

Recognised by GFSI
The Foundation for Food Safety Certification has created an internationally uniform certification system for the food industry: after certification according to FSSC 22000, producers of food and food packaging materials can contribute to the safety of the supply chain and to a cross-border harmonisation of the certification systems.
The standard is based on DIN EN ISO 22000 and the technical specifications for specific preventive programmes for food safety. It is promoted by the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries (CIAA) of the European Union and, unlike DIN EN ISO 22000, it is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). Prominent large corporations in the industry were the driving force behind its introduction. It is anticipated that further multinational food producers and their suppliers will also support the certification.
Who is the standard suitable for?
With a successful certification, companies can provide their trading partners with objective evidence that they have implemented an audited management system for food safety. The certification is aimed at companies of any size which produce, process or package animal or vegetable products or other foodstuffs and additives. The prerequisites are the introduction of a quality management system for food safety and observance of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).
If you have questions about the certification, please contact TUV NORD UK office or email at email@example.com. | [

Lord, how to make sense of all this? Okay, Mohinder's skin is still peeling off, and as it gets worse, he gets more aggressive, although he mostly takes it out on a girlfriend-abusing jerk. Meanwhile, Zimmerman tells Tracy that she, Niki, and someone named Barbara were identical triplets, and he and others conducted DNA manipulation on them to give them superpowers. Unfortunately, The Haitian apparently erased his memory, so all he can remember is something vague about a Company. She almost sends him to an icy death like she did with the Greatest American Reporter, but manages to control her power enough so that doesn't happen. Distraught, she resigns from Nathan's staff so she can go jump off a bridge, but Nathan, at Linderman's urging, swoops in and saves her. They follow this up in the only way possible: drinking and making out.
A lot of the rest of what happens takes place in the future, with Matt watching in his trance: Present Peter and Future Peter go back to FP's reality four years hence, where basically everyone has powers. FP tells him that's caused people to go out of control, and the reason the future is still like it was is because of the formula Mohinder created (although they don't know it's him at this point). They then have a run-in with Claire, who uses a gun to shoot FP -- only this time it succeeds in killing him, because The Haitian is there to suppress his powers. In this reality, Claire is teamed up with Knox and Daphne, who collectively have orders to kill Peter -- orders that apparently came from Mama Petrelli. They also have Molly at their disposal, but using her isn't so easy, as Daphne has to convince Matt, now her guardian, it's a good idea. This errand is made easier by the fact that Daphne's his wife, though, so it turns out she is the blonde from NeoIsaac's painting. PP goes to see Mohinder, who tells him not to repeat his mistakes, and considering he's become some sort of light-averse troll, PP probably wants to listen. PP then goes to see Sylar, who's living in the Bennet house (!), has the nerd glasses back (!!), is open about his relationship to Peter (!!!), hugs his half-brother (!!!!), and HAS A KID NAMED NOAH (!Infinity!)! Peter wants to use Sylar's ability to save the world, but Sylar is wary as he explains about the hunger that comes with his power. Peter, however, has Sylar paint the future, and when he sees the coming apocalypse, he relents and teaches Peter how to use his ability. Knox, Claire, and Daphne track Peter down, though, and in the ensuing fight Noah is killed, prompting Sylar to explode like Ted Sprague and destroy all of Costa Verde. We then learn that Nathan is in fact President, and Tracy is the First Lady. PP and Claire survive the explosion, and Claire starts to torture PP until Nathan intercedes. He seems to be on PP's side, but when PP tries to read his mind, he's overwhelmed by Sylar's ability and slices Nathan's head off. Daphne dies in Matt's arms, snapping Present Matt awake, and to find her, NeoIsaac counsels Matt to find his Jungian totem -- that turtle. Ha!
Also back in the present, Ando tells Hiro what a useless dickhead he's being, and proves his point by being the one to facilitate their escape -- until The Haitian shows up and catches them and brings them to Mama Petrelli, who tells Hiro how he's cocked everything up, but can make things right -- by releasing Adam, which he does. Hiro may be an idiot, but I've got no problem with this move.
In Mohinder's lab, we pass a chyron with the episode title floating in a ghostly manner, and then get to Mohinder, whose skin is still peeling off his back, the better to sprout bug-wings with, I guess. Still, you hope he's at least tried some Noxzema or Vitamin E oil or something. Mohinder listens to a tape of himself logging his progress, but it's all stuff he told Maya before, and this storyline is irritating enough without a rehash of what happened two episodes ago, not to mention the fact that this ruins the seemingly blessed lack of a voiceover from him. Mohinder makes another entry, saying that the only negative effect so far of taking the formula is an "unusual rash," and the jokes are too easy here so I'm going to let that one go. Mohinder is presently interrupted by the sounds of a domestic disturbance coming from somewhere above him...

President Barack Obama’s senior officials this week let on that he would attempt to limit carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants, in what would be the most significant action addressing climate change by his administration to date. (Although an under-the-radar tweak to how the government computes the cost of carbon deserves a nod, as do improved fuel economy standards.)
It’s something environmental groups and climate hawks have increased calls for since the President won reelection in a race that, it should be noted, avoided explicit mention of the issue for the first time since 1988. It’s also likely to further polarize Republican lawmakers and carbon-intensive industries, who will probably mount legal challenges.
Nevertheless, remarks by Obama’s top aide on climate change, Heather Zichal, indicate he might frame the issue as a post-partisan one and attempt to “depoliticize” an issue the President has called “the global threat of our time.”
Electricity generation accounts for roughly a third of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. So if Obama wants to circumvent the currently deadlocked legislative path to reining in carbon dioxide emissions, tackling existing power plants is a good place to start.
Which power plants in Illinois are the biggest greenhouse gas emitters? According to the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory, with 2011 (the latest verified data available) emissions in metric tons of CO2 equivalent in parentheses:
1. Baldwin Energy Complex, a coal and oil plant in Baldwin, Ill. (12,815,215)
2. Powerton, a coal plant in Pekin, Ill. (10,871,825)
3. Joppa Steam, a coal plant in Joppa, Ill. (8,036,531)
4. Newton, a coal plant in Newton, Ill. (7,284,487)
5. Joliet 29, a coal plant in Joliet, Ill. (6,000,070)
As for the Chicago region’s biggest emitters, Chicagoist‘s Josh Mogerman has a good round-up here.
In the absence of comprehensive climate legislation, environmentalists have made their most visible cause stopping the Keystone XL pipeline — an issue that has split the President’s own policy group, Organizing for Action. Next month’s expected action could help mend the rift, or widen it further.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
While out for a walk with Thorn, her horse, Leona comes across a strange liquid. When Leona is transported to the world of Polyenses after touching the mysterious liquid she finds life to be very different. Women are wearing tunics, men carry swords, and everyone seems to be a bit more proper. There’s one thing that’s incredibly different about Leona though – she has the ability to communicate telepathically with Thorn, and every other animal for that matter. She soon learns that only an Azawufe has the ability to do that. But what is an Azawufe and how did she become one?
I gave this Young Adult Fantasy novel 4 Stars because – I Really Liked It!! This first time author has spun an exciting tale with an unexpected twist at the end of the novel. I finished the book feeling satisfied as the story reached its resolution, but its ending also left the door opened for an equally satisfying sequel.
A heavy wind went careening across the Oklahoma plains. The wind carried the rain of the heavens, sweetly enticing in its freshness. It swept across the crops of corn and wheat until it came to a large farm. The howling current of air slowed down in the presence of trees, but only somewhat, and then came to rest on a young girl who was brushing her filly.
I have always liked reading books written by Oklahomans, and I am especially intrigued by stories about Oklahomans. This book offered me both. That, and my love for reading fantasy made this novel a book I had to read. And I’m glad I did too, because this book is exceptionally well written and hugely entertaining.
I am acquainted with this author, if only casually. My wife and I have bought fresh vegetables from her many times at the local farmers market. This connection to the author made the reading a little more fun for me as it gave me a measure of insight into the protagonist. I chortled to myself when Leona said, “we had a huge garden. It was filled with everything: watermelon, tomatoes, cantaloupe, cucumbers, corn, carrots, squash, peppers, and even more.”
I look forward to Rachel’s sequel. | [

Explore the City's Ancient Alleyways in the Footsteps of Charles Dickens
Cross over the road here. Do you see the Victorian Gothic structure opposite you? That's Leadenhall Market. We're going inside there, and it's the last location on our tour for the day, so I'll tell you about it while you make your way inside.
There has been a market here since 1377, but the present building was constructed in 1888 by Horace Jones, who also designed Tower Bridge. Note the ornate roof structure, painted green, maroon and cream, with sculptures of silver dragons, the emblem of the City of London. This is the perfect setting for Dickensian films. For the film of 'Bleak House', the whole market building was filled with smoke to recreate the foggy atmosphere of Victorian London.
Dickens himself would not have known this building as he died in 1870. Contrary to his wish to be buried at Rochester Cathedral in, as he put it, "an inexpensive, unostentatious, and strictly private manner," he was laid to rest in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey. A printed epitaph circulated at the time of the funeral reads: "To the Memory of Charles Dickens (England's most popular author) who died at his residence, Higham, near Rochester, Kent, 9 June 1870, aged 58 years. He was a sympathiser with the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed; and by his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the world."
Our walk ends here. I hope you have enjoyed trying to imagine London as it was in Victorian times. I also hope you will feel inspired to read or reread some of Dickens's extraordinary novels with their larger than life characters. I personally was forced to read him as a young boy and accordingly hated him. Later I began to appreciate the richness and humanity of his writing, especially as I walked all over London exploring places connected with his life and works. That's all from me for today.

Ella was going to our first baby. We dreamed of her for so long and when God finally blessed us with her we couldn’t have been more excited. I’d spend hours organizing her room, reading her books, and playing music to my belly just to feel her wiggle a little. But what I particularly enjoyed was spending time in the kitchen. I’d spend as much time in there as my swollen ankles would let me. Dreaming about how in just a few short weeks I’d have Ella here to help me.
She was so loved (and still is loved) and we were so looking forward to growing our family. I would be lying to you if I said I understand why this happened, that I’m ok with her being with God, or that this was God’s plan, because I don’t. I don’t understand how an innocent little angel like her could have been taken from us. I don’t understand at all, but I have faith. I have faith that one day I will see my sweet girl again. And until then I want to continue to do what I love and continue to honor my sweet girl by not giving up on my dreams. She would have been here beside me and I know that until we meet again she will be beside me in spirit. Please pray for our sweet angel. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and even though I was with her for only a short time, she has changed me forever.

New York City: A 50-foot tall inflated mock nuclear missile will stand in front of the UN building at Dag Hammerskjold Plaza as delegates gather for the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference on Tuesday. Peace Action, the nation's largest grassroots peace and disarmament organization, is calling attention to the need for the U.S. government to take a leadership role in nuclear disarmament.
Over 500 people from around the world are expected to participate in the event, including hibakusha (nuclear survivors from Japan), downwinders and indigenous people impacted by nuclear testing, and students. The NPT is a cornerstone of international agreements to stop the spread of nuclear weapons.
"The United States is undermining arms control by moving forward with Star Wars and new nuclear weapons production while failing to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty," said Gordon Clark, the executive director of Peace Action. "These actions are provoking deep suspicions and strong objections from our allies and adversaries alike."
"Thirty years ago the United States along with other nuclear powers agreed to complete nuclear disarmament by ratifying the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The NPT is moving into a crucial phase where it can either become the foundation for disarmament that it was meant to be or a glaring symbol of dangerous inaction and hypocrisy." said Clark. "As the world's sole military superpower, the United States must assume leadership on the nuclear disarmament measures that will address the concerns of nations that might otherwise consider developing nuclear weapons."
The 50-foot tall mock nuclear missiles are touring the country throughout the year as part of Peace Action's campaign to highlight the need for nuclear disarmament. For a complete schedule of the Missile Stop Tour, call Jim Bridgman at Peace Action at (202) 862-9740 ext. 3041. | [

In this paper, we describe the development of a culture-based biochip device for rapid detection of mycobacteria in environmental samples. Individual biochips rely upon the unique paraffinophilic nature of mycobacteria to rapidly and selectively adhere to the surface of the device. We used prototype biochips to experimentally demonstrate the concept of rapid and selective detection of mycobacteria by testing pure cultures and using epifluorescence microscopy to visualize microorganisms on the surface. As an alternative, rapid approach for identifying the biomass on the biochip surface, we used microwaves in the 10 to 26 GHz frequency range. The results of this study indicate that different microorganisms are responsible for specific shifts in resonance frequencies of a microwave cavity. By combing the semi-selective paraffin surface of the biochip with the microorganism-specific response to the microwaves, we have developed an improved analytical system with the potential to rapidly identify and enumerate mycobacteria in environmental samples in as little as 2 h. | [

Three Things You Can Do to Control Flying Insects
As a pest control professional I get frequent calls about houseflies, gnats, mosquitoes, fruit flies and unidentified, flying & swarming insects. Concerned customers and prospective customers want our technicians to go to their homes or business and “exterminate them all.” They want an insect free environment. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to flying insects. There is no magic spray that we can use to erase their problems and there is no such thing as an insect free environment, nor should that be the goal. Sure, flying insects that are present at the time of a treatment Weekly Bedroom Cleaning Checklist can be killed with a quick knockdown material, but others will take their place in short order. The problem is that they,! In the case of crawling pests, a residual barrier can be placed around a home or other building and the pests crawling across the material will be killed. In the case of flying insects there is no contact with the material and they are unaffected. Having said all of this, I don’t want to leave my readers feeling defenseless. There are some practical steps you can take to significantly reduce populations of some of the more important flying insect pests.
1. The first, and most important, line of defense against flying insects is eliminating the sources of infestation. For instance, the numbers of social insects such as wasps and hornets infesting a given area, can be reduced by destroying their nests. Getting rid of standing water will reduce the numbers of mosquitoes in a given area because there is nowhere for the larvae to grow and mature. If the problem is flies, the removal of organic materials that the larvae (maggots) feed on will, again, reduce the numbers of these insects for the same reason. Vinegar Fruit Flies can’t reproduce where there is no fermenting fruit. I could go on, but I think most people understand what I’m saying. Be sure to keep all foods covered and protected. Be sure that garbage containers are tight-fitting and closed. Pick up fallen tree fruit and either use or dispose of it. Pick up and properly dispose of animal feces. These are common-sense measures that make a huge difference in the numbers of flying pests.
2. The next line of defense is exclusion. When it comes to your indoor environment make sure that all screens are intact and are tight-fitting, with no gaps. Seal openings such as areas where pipes or wires enter the structure. Make sure there are no significant cracks or gaps in the structure by which insects could gain entry. In businesses such as grocery stores, restaurants and commercial kitchens, air curtains are an effective way to keep flying pests out. Air curtains are another means of exclusion. They are basically fan systems that force air outward away from a doorway to prevent insect entry by pushing them away with rapid air flow. However, their costs and obtrusive looks make them impractical for home use. | [

Have you ever looked at all the alpaca poop and wondered what to do with it?
It’s no secret that this manure is incredibly nutrient-rich, but can it really be used for anything practical?
I’m here to share some ideas so you can make the most out of your furry friends’ waste!
Let’s dive in: from fertilizing gardens and growing healthy produce to making fuel pellets and boutique fertilizer – who knows how much potential there is in those piles of poo?!
Table of Contents
What Is Alpaca Poop?
I’m sure you’ve heard of alpacas, the adorable animals with fluffy fur and sweet personalities. But did you know that their droppings have some surprising uses?
Alpaca poop is an incredibly useful resource for farmers, gardeners, and even those looking to reduce pests around their homes. Here’s why!
Alpaca manure also contains plenty of valuable micro-organisms that help keep plants healthy by improving the structure of soil. These helpful organisms break down both inorganic minerals and organic material into nutritious compounds while aerating the soil at the same time – something no chemical fertilizer can do! All this makes alpaca manure an ideal choice for any gardener who wants to ensure their produce will thrive without resorting to harsh chemicals.
Alpacas are herbivorous animals. They eat grasses and other plants that grow in their original habitats in South America. Alpacas are ruminants, actually, they are the most efficient ruminant. This means their waste has a balanced nutrient content and no weed seeds which makes it great for fertilizing soil without burning plants or emitting unpleasant odors like other types of manure can do.
Because these animals tend to use communal dung piles, collecting alpaca poop is much easier than gathering up waste from other species.
Finally, alpaca poop can be a valuable asset when dealing with pest control issues as well.
All in all, alpaca poop offers many advantages over traditional animal manures so if you’re looking for an eco-friendly alternative then consider giving this special fertilizer a try!
How Can You Use Alpaca Poop?
Now that we know what alpaca poop is, let’s explore how it can be used.
Alpaca manure has many advantages for the gardener, such as being relatively odorless when compared to other manures and having no weed seeds, unlike horse or cow manure. It also contains nutrients like nitrogen and potassium which makes it a great fertilizer for plants.
Additionally, if dealing with smell becomes an issue in your garden, you can bury alpaca manure beneath the soil surface instead of spreading it on top.
Alpaca poop can also prove beneficial for pest control purposes, deters some pests while not harming animals or plant life. This can help keep gardens safe from damage that could otherwise occur due to certain insects and rodents.
Moreover, its use in composting helps improve the quality of soil by increasing water retention capability amongst other things! Furthermore, this means improved fertility for crops and healthier growth for vegetation.
The benefits don’t end there though; using alpaca poo as fertilizer does not require any pre-composting so you won’t have to wait long before getting started on improving your garden’s health!
With all these potential uses, alpaca poop offers plenty of options for those looking to give their gardens a boost without compromising animal safety or causing unnecessary harm to nature.
How To Use Alpaca Manure In The Garden
Harvesting alpaca manure for use in the garden is a great way to get all the benefits of organic matter and nutrients without any of the smell or weed seeds.
There are a few different ways you can do this, depending on what works best for your garden. You can apply fresh alpaca manure directly as a mulch or top dressing; compost it with other organic materials like leaves, straw, grass clippings, or kitchen scraps; or make tea manure by steeping it in water for a few days.
Each of these methods has its own advantages when it comes to fertilizer types, odor control, pest management, and soil preparation.
When using fresh alpaca manure as mulch or top dressing, be sure to avoid contact with plant stems and leaves since it may be too strong for some plants—particularly young seedlings.
Composted alpaca manure makes an excellent soil amendment that can help improve structure and fertility while holding moisture more effectively than traditional fertilizers.

Airbus Ventures announced its lead investment in the $7.3 million Series A round for Infostellar, a Japanese developer of a cloud-based satellite antenna sharing platform. This financing funds the launch of Infostellar’s flagship platform StellarStation, expands its network of partner antennas, and accelerates the hiring of additional talented team members.
With this closing of this Series A investment round, Dr Lewis Pinault, Managing Investment Partner for Airbus Ventures in Japan also joins the Infostellar board.
“With the burgeoning number of Low Earth Orbit launches and the fast-evolving criticality of data from space, supporting ground station networks are becoming hard pressed to keep up with satellite data demands,” said Dr Pinault.
“This is despite the fact that much of the time, ground station antennas stand idle while other people's satellites pass overhead. Infostellar dramatically shifts the model by bringing hundreds of antennas around the globe to the service of thousands of satellites. With their StellarStation solution, everyone in the equation can win: antenna operators idle less and earn more, and satellite operators gain real-time network-side control - and virtually anyone can become a satellite operator.”
Thomas d’Halluin, CEO of Airbus Ventures, said that the aim of the independent investment group is to facilitate such dramatic shifts in the future of the aerospace industry.
“We are particularly pleased to lead this important round of investment, our first in Japan,” he said. “With the likes of Sony Innovation Fund, the Entrepreneurial Research Unit at Waseda University, and 500 Startups Japan, as well as key domestic co-investors, we feel that Infostellar is well positioned to tap the best of Japanese innovation, attract even more outstanding international talent, and bring its success to the world stage in future rounds - and indeed onwards to new novel successes in deep space communications.”
Stephane Ginoux, President of Airbus Japan, added: “We are proud to see Airbus Ventures making this important first foray into Asia here in Japan. We are committed to encouraging the innovation of Japanese start-ups and entrepreneurs, and we are especially pleased to see the support for the excellent Infostellar team in their pioneering journey to becoming an important global player in space communications infrastructure.”
Dr Naomi Kurahara, the founder and CEO of Infostellar, said: “Airbus Ventures’ lead investment in this round is a major advance for our company. This timely and well-organised Series A funding round helps us secure our StellarStation platform as a global business. With Dr Pinault on our board and the Airbus aerospace heritage alongside us, we see a highly collaborative path to successfully fulfilling our long-term mission: providing smart, efficient communications infrastructure for humanity’s ongoing expansion into space.”
Infostellar is a space communications infrastructure firm, developing the world’s only cloud-based satellite antenna sharing platform: StellarStation. By lowering costs and increasing transmission time, Infostellar empowers satellite operators to improve the quality of their service and expand potential business. Founded in 2016, Infostellar is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. For more information, visit https://www.infostellar.net/. Logos and images can be found at https://www.infostellar.net/news/1/kit.zip.

Public hearings announced for proposed natural gas pipeline
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced four public hearings that will take place next month on the proposed natural gas pipeline that Spectra Energy wants to build through parts of Hudson County into New York.
If approved by FERC, the proposed pipeline would include the construction and operation of 19.8 miles of new and replacement 42- and 30-inch-diameter pipeline, six new metering and regulating stations, and other related facility abandonments and modifications in Linden, Jersey City near the Hoboken border, and Bayonne. The pipeline would then cross the Hudson River into New York to connect the company's existing pipeline infrastructure in the region to Manhattan and Staten Island.
Before FERC can render a decision on the project, it is required to hold public hearings.
Two of the four public hearings will take place in Hudson County, while the remaining two public hearings will take place in New York. One hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Bayonne, at 669 Avenue C. The next evening, on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m., there will be another public hearing in Jersey City at Ferris High School, at 35 Colgate St. in Jersey City.
Public hearings will be held on Mon., Oct. 17, in Staten Island; and Thursday, Oct. 20, in Manhattan. Those meetings will also be held at 7 p.m. FERC recently released its draft of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed pipeline project and is now seeking public comments.
FERC officially refers to the pipeline project as the New Jersey - New York Expansion Project proposed by Texas Eastern Transmission LP and Algonquin Gas Transmission LLC (Docket No. CP11-56-000). To read the full draft of the Environmental Impact Statement, visit http://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis/2011/09-09-11-eis.asp. Written comments are due by Oct. 31. - E. Assata Wright
Omni files for dismissal in BMC property dispute
In a lawsuit that has huge implications for the revitalizations of the Broadway shopping district, Omni Healthcare has asked for a dismissal in a suit over a piece of property it purchased from the previous owners of the Bayonne Medical Center.
The suit alleges that Omni did not pay the $5 million purchase price that was promised in the original agreement.
Omni intends to build Bayonne’s first nursing home on the property located on Broadway between East 29th and East 30th streets, adjacent to the Bayonne Medical Center. This is a key piece in the city’s medical profession zone that would draw more medical facilities to the area as a means of restoring economic health to the ailing Broadway shopping district.
A court hearing is set for Sept. 26 to rule on the dismissal motion.
Community outreach to donate clothing
Local activist Lucille Porter, in conjunction with Emmanuel Pentecostal Church in the Greenville section of Jersey City, will be doing a community outreach program that will donate shoes and clothing to the needy in front of Xtra Supermarket, 260 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Jersey City, from noon to 2:30 p.m. This is similar to a program conducted at Steven Gregg Park in Bayonne in the past.
The event will also feature the choir from her church.
“I’m even going to sing,” she said. “We’ll be giving out clothing, shoes, and toys.”
Those who wish to donate to the cause can drop these off earlier on Saturday for her to distribute.
“I’ll be there at about 10 a.m.,” she said.
Christie administration abolishes Council on Affordable Housing
The Christie administration on Wednesday announced that the reorganization plan to abolish the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) was completed as part of an affordable housing reform effort. Affordable housing responsibilities have been transferred to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
COAH attempts to interpret court rulings about housing laws that towns build certain numbers of affordable units for every new market-rate unit. Some towns, including Secaucus, have felt that certain formulas unfairly pushed them to build more units than necessary.
"The governor and I believe every person in New Jersey is entitled to a safe and decent place to live, but that housing and land use decisions should be made locally," said DCA Commissioner Lori Grifa in the announcement. "The transfer of the functions of COAH to the DCA will enable that, and, we believe, will reduce the bureaucratic log-jam and frustration that has chilled housing development for the last few years. The Department of Community Affairs will work with municipalities on affordable housing, not against them."

SUBSTANCES that make brain cells grow might lead to treatments for baldness,
say dermatologists in Germany. They expect their bizarre discovery could also
open up new avenues for keeping unwanted body hair at bay.
“This is the first evidence that growth factors previously thought to be
important for the development of brain cells are also important for the growth
of hair follicles,” says Ralf Paus, who carried out the work while at Humbolt
University in Berlin.
Paus and his colleagues had previously shown that a growth factor in the
brain called neurotrophin-3 triggers the formation of hair follicles in
embryonic mice. When mammals are born, however, the follicles shrink and
regress, which is why a baby’s hair often falls out a few weeks after birth.
In the next “resting” phase of the cycle, the shrunken follicle hangs onto
the original hair shaft until a new hair pushes it out of the way. Finally,
after a short burst of growth, when new hairs take over, the follicle shrivels
and resumes its resting phase once again. In mice, the cycle lasts a matter of
weeks. In humans, it can take two to six years.
In experiments with shaved mice, Paus’s team has shown that just before the
shrivelling phase, hair follicles are awash with two growth factors:
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4). And the two
genes which make the proteins are abnormally active at the same time. This
suggested that the chemicals actually trigger the shrinking of follicles.
To confirm this, the researchers engineered mice to churn out too much BDNF.
As expected, their hair fell out earlier than usual. Conversely, hair took
longer than normal to fall out in “knockout” mice that could not make either
The same series of experiments, published in FASEB Journal (vol 13,
p 395), reveal that the two substances work by binding to a receptor called
tyrosine kinase B. If humans have a similar system, then drugs that block the
receptor could prevent hair loss. Alternatively, drugs that mimic the brain
proteins and bind to the receptor might help people shed unwanted hair.
Paus says such drugs have already been developed as potential treatments for
neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
“It’s not too far-fetched to propose using them for hair disorders, particularly
if you can apply them topically in lotions,” he says.
However, it is too early to say whether the mouse results are relevant to
humans, adds Paus, who is now at the University Hospital in Hamburg. One
difference, he points out, is that mouse hair grows in synchronised waves,
whereas each human hair has its own individual growth cycle, so overall hair
growth is much more erratic than in mice.
George Cotsarelis, director of the hair and scalp clinic at the University of
Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia, agrees that if the results hold
true for humans, new treatments might be possible. “These new findings might be
more useful for getting rid of hair than restoring it,” he adds. | [

In terms of bread products, margerine, cheese etc are there particular brands that you buy, or do you seek out specific low-salt varieties?
The BLW book i've been reading says hummus is good for dipping/spreading on toast etc. Do i have to make my own or are shop versions ok?
What other store bought staples do you buy?
Sorry if these seem stupid questions - we'll be starting in a week or so and i really want to get it right!
13/09/2013 at 19:05
I used unsalted butter, but didn't bother too much about cheese or bread, just didn't give in big quantities.
I did make hummus but it could be frozen in small portions
Snacks we used fruit fingers, veg sticks, Rice cakes. Used the fruit purée pots in the baby food section as a dip. Natural yogurt is a good dip for fruit too.
Apart from that we just did our normal meals but didn't add salt to them during cooking. We'd do things like fajitas and just fry a portion of meat/veg for M in a small frying pan without spices.
Main tip with blw is don't get stressed if she doesnt eat loads straight away, sometimes they get a few months to get it
13/09/2013 at 19:20
We made unsalted bread as white sliced is massively high in salt (1 medium slice of white is 0.5g of salt and the allowance for under 1's is 1g) so it's a massive portion of their salt just on the bread. Because we did that, I didn't worry so much about salt in other things, and we don't use salt in cooking.
13/09/2013 at 19:51
I found the whole slat thing a pain because once disco got eating he has eaten relatively large portions so if he has a sandwhich then it was 2 slices of bread pluss filling and that was the days total salt allowance.
We buy unsalted butter for spreading on things and make our own shortcrust pastry using it so its salt free.
If you are feeding part of your meal then make sure non if the ingredients contain salt stock is high in salt we eiether made our own or used baby stock and added salt to ours once we had dished up if needed.
Shop brough hommous has salt so again think about what else baby is eating in the day or make your own and freeze. If givig crumpet check all the brands the supermarket has we found the amount of salt in products varied alot beteween brands.
Breadsticks again supermarket own brand low in salt different brand high in salt.
We made lots of thithick soups and dipped a crumpet or steamed veg.
apart from that be prepaired for the mess its lots of fun but very messy
13/09/2013 at 20:34
Ok, i'll pay more attention to salt content of anything i buy instore... stupid question...but how do i know if it's high salt? I've never been one for reading labels. Is there a figure per 100g it should be below? Baby's allowance is 1g per day?
We don't use salt in cooking anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem. Are there any foods that are high in salt that suprised you/might not be so obvious?
I'm definately prepared for the mess amd pretty laid back about how long it'll take for her to get the hang of it, so hopefully it'll just be a bit of fun and no stress!
13/09/2013 at 20:56
Anything processed is high in salt. Cheese is bad, as is shop bread. then the obvious suspects like ham. Breakfast cereals can have added salt (and lots of sugar too).
Best thing to do is to cook from scratch if you can. Get creative with herbs and spices, use baby stock cubes or extra low salt ones. Homemade houmous is SO easy it's untrue. Batch cook and freeze in portions so you can defrost when needed - things like veg nuggets/muffins etc will defrost by lunchtime if you get them out at breakfast.
Don't stress too much about it - BLW can actually be quite fun. Start off with sticks of fruit and veg and work your way up from there. The BLW cookbook is ace - the meatloaf is scrumptious!

Kim Kardashian returned home to Los Angeles alone Tuesday after a difficult reunion with husband Kanye West in Wyoming the day before. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was photographed exiting the plane after it touched down in pictures published by TMZ, which previously shared photos of a tearful Kardashian having a tense conversation with her husband on their ranch in Cody, Wyoming, where he has been living.
"Kim flew to Wyoming Monday to see Kanye after weeks of trying to get ahold of him and having him agree to see her," a source told Entertainment Tonight. "The meeting was extremely emotional as the couple has a lot to work through now and most importantly making sure Kanye is healthy." The insider continued, "Kim is still very upset with Kanye but she knows she needs to focus on him getting better. Kim plans to do whatever she can to help Kanye get the help he needs."
Monday's reunion was the first meeting of the married couple since West's South Carolina presidential rally earlier this month, during which he claimed he and Kardashian considered terminating the pregnancy with daughter North, now 7, back in 2012. He has also railed against his wife and her family on Twitter in now-deleted rants. The reunion also occurred one day after the rapper publicly apologized to his wife on Twitter. "I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter. I did not cover her like she has covered me," the Yeezy designer tweeted on Saturday. "To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me."
Saturday, West was photographed arriving to a hospital near his ranch, where he reportedly stayed for just a few minutes before returning home, with an ambulance arriving on location soon after. A source told ET that West's hospital trip was prompted by his feelings of anxiety, but when he arrived, he decided he would rather be seen at the ranch. H was determined to be in good physical health.
Last week, Kardashian addressed her husband's recent erratic behavior on Instagram Stories, asking for "compassion" and admitting how "incredibly complicated and painful" it can be for the family of someone with bipolar disorder. "I've never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye's right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health," she wrote. | [

Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night
About This Book
Almost everyone in town blames eight-year-old Violet Morgan for the death of her nine-year-old sister, Daisy. Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night opens on September 4, 1913, two months after the Fourth of July tragedy. Owen, the girls’ father, “turns to drink” and abandons his family. Their mother Grace falls victim to the seductive powers of Grief, an imagined figure who has seduced her off-and-on since childhood. Violet forms an unlikely friendship with Stanley Adamski, a motherless outcast who works in the mines as a breaker boy. During an unexpected blizzard, Grace goes into premature labor at home and is forced to rely on Violet, while Owen is “off being saved” at a Billy Sunday Revival. Inspired by a haunting family story, Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night blends real life incidents with fiction to show how grace can be found in the midst of tragedy.
This poignant debut novel is epic in its bittersweet scope and depth of emotion. I was absolutely riveted from page one, and it surpassed all my expectations in terms of originality, historical accuracy, creativity, and emotional impact. The prose is visual and descriptive, at times achingly so, and is well-grounded in the historical setting and time. The dialogue is well-balanced and really enhances the characterizations. The overall writing style is literary, with creative use of classical techniques such as emotional personification and even a Greek Chorus.
Without a doubt, the characters are the heart, soul, and strength of this story. There are more than a dozen named characters, at least half of which are point-of-view characters, but they are surprisingly easy to keep track of, so distinctly are they written. While “head-hopping”—inexplicably changing points-of-view mid-scene, mid-paragraph or mid-sentence—is generally frowned upon in today’s publishing circles, it actually works with this story. I loved the personification of Grief, too: as a character, he really added emotional depth to Grace’s character trying to cope with the death of her child. The widow across the street, the orphaned playmate, the church busybodies, the miners, even the stubborn mule—are are brought to vivid life and really made me cheer for each of them.
The book is primarily a linear story, incorporating the occasional flashback, and I absolutely loved the Chorus of gossipy church women who set the stage for each subsection of the novel. The gentler pace of action really hearkens back to the book’s 1913 setting, and the turn-of-the-century, daily-life details are spot on. This fictional story is firmly rooted in its real life people and events, exactly as Historical Fiction should be.
This isn’t a romance, but the relationship between Grace and Owen is rife with tension, as the loss of their child—possibly at the hands of their other daughter—drives an insurmountable wedge between them. And the flashbacks showing how in love they once were really crank up the conflict.
There are some spiritual elements to this story, though it isn’t a Christian novel. The characters attend church primarily because it’s the socially acceptable thing to do. They have family Bibles and social gatherings, and denominations are divided largely by cultural heritage. Billy Sunday brings his revival meeting to town and fires up the citizens with sermons against “forbidden amusements,” including drinking, dancing, and gambling. Most of the characters express any relationships with God in terms of their fear of hell and damnation, but over the course of the story, many of them come to realize a more personal reliance upon Him.
This book will appeal to mature readers who love carefully plotted, character-driven stories with deeply engaging characters and emotional storylines. As a relatively “clean” general market novel, it may also appeal to many Christian fiction fans, especially those who prefer edgier stories. For my part, this is one of the most original stories I have read in a long, long time. It would make a beautiful movie one day!
In conclusion, this haunting story of tragedy and hope in an early 20th Century mining town is not a nuclear blast—it’s an expertly crafted arrow that shoots straight for the heart. Reminiscent of classics such as How Green Was My Valley or, more recently, the Hallmark Channel’s original dramatic series, When Calls the Heart, Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night is a must-read for fans of character-driven, authentic historical fiction. I look forward to reaching more from this visionary new author.

It is a Sunday. So, Raju does not have to worry about school. He is enjoying a cartoon show on TV. Suddenly, the doorbell rings. Raju's mother says it must be the man who comes to collect garbage. Raju's mother asks Raju to give the bin bag to the man.
Raju makes an awful face. He does not like to pick up the dirty bin bag. But her mother forces him to do so. After picking the bin bag, Raju walks slowly towards the door. On most of the days, it is his mother who gives the garbage to the person who comes to collect it.
Since when they have been doing this work?
Answer: The sweeper of my neighbourhood has been doing this work since 15 years.
How much have they studied?
Answer: He is 12th pass
Have they tried to look for some other work?
Answer: He tried to find a job of bank clerk, but could not succeed.
Did the elders in their family also do this work?
Answer: His parents and grandparents were also doing the work of sweeping and cleaning.
What kind of difficulties do they face in doing this work?
Answer: They face many difficulties in doing this work. Some of them are as follows:
Our house and neighbourhood should be clean. It needs lots of sweeping and mopping to maintain cleanliness. Sanitation workers from municipality sweep the streets. They also collect garbage. You will notice that all the sanitation workers belong to certain communities of the society. People from other communities do not do such jobs.
This system has been in place since ages. If you will ask a sanitation worker then you will find that their forefathers did the same job. Poverty and age-old social norms force such people to opt for such tasks.
What kinds of work or jobs do people not want to do? Why?
Answer: Most of the people do not want to do the work of cleaning. This is seen as a dirty job.
So, who does this kind of work? Why do people do this kind of work that others do not want to do?
Answer: People want to work in offices. They want white collar jobs. People who do the job of cleaning come from poor families. They come from a specific community. Almost everyone from that community is engaged in similar jobs.
What would happen if nobody did this work? If nobody cleared the garbage lying outside your school or your house for one week, then what would happen?
Answer: If nobody does the job of cleaning, then our surrounding will remain dirty. If garbage is not collected for one week, it will start gicing unbearable stench. People will fall sick.
Why did Gandhiji and his team start doing the job of cleaning? What do you think about this?
Answer: Gandhiji wanted to show that every work is important. He wanted people to respect those who do menial works. He wanted the bad practice of untouchability to end. I think Gandhiji was right.
Guests at Gandhiji's Ashram had to learn this work also. If you were one of these guests, what would you do?
Answer: If I were one of the guests at Gandhiji's Ashram, I would also have done the cleaning work. Though, initially I may have refused to do so.
What are the toilet arrangements in your house? Where is the toilet? Inside the house or outside? Who cleans the toilet?
Answer: There are two toilets in my house. One of them is attached to a bedroom. My mother cleans the toilet every week.
How do people generally behave with those people who clean toilets and drains? Write.
Answer: People generally maintain a distance from the workers who clean toilets and drains. Such jobs are considered dirty.
Note: This sketch is based on a sketch by R K Laxman. I (Ajay Anand) have made this sketch.
During Gandhiji's time, toilets were entirely different than modern toilets. A toilet meant a pan kept under a platform with a hole. A person had to sit on the platform in order to shit, and the shit fell in the pan which was kept below the platform.
The sanitation workers came to collect the pan and empty the pan somewhere. Carrying the night-soil (shit) was usually done by women of a particular community. As such people were doing the dirty job they were looked as dirty people.
People from other communities avoided going anywhere near sanitation workers. Even the shadow of such people was considered to be impure. Such people were not allowed to live in the village. Their houses were always on the outskirts of the village. This practice is known as untouchability. This means that people from the mainstream avoided being touched by untouchables. Gandhiji coined a new name for them, Harijan. Gandhiji worked | [

LAHORE:State Bank of Pakistan Deputy Governor Saeed Ahmed has said there is a dire need to create awareness to promote Islamic mode of banking that is fast gaining grounds around the globe.
Talking to the LCCI Senior Vice-President Almas Hyder, State Bank of Pakistan Deputy Governor said that bankers should launch new schemes to attract people towards Islamic banking. He said though Islamic mode of banking looks like conventional banking there is a lot of difference between the processes.
Speaking on the occasion, the LCCI Senior Vice-President Almas Hyder said that today more than 250 Islamic financial institutions are operating worldwide from China to USA.
Western banks through their Islamic units in UK, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg etc. are also practicing Islamic banking. He said the basic principle of Islamic banking was the prohibition of Riba or interest, which had seldom been recognised as applicable beyond the Islamic world but many of its guiding principles had consciously or unconsciously been accepted.
The majority of these principles are based on simple morality and common sense, which form the bases of many religions, including Islam.
Almas Hyder said Islamic finance was practiced mostly in the Muslim world throughout the Middle Ages facilitating trade and business activities.
In Spain and Baltic States, Islamic merchants became indispensable middlemen for trading activities. It is claimed that European financiers and businessmen later adopted many concepts, techniques and instruments of Islamic finance. He said the Islamic financial system employs the concept of participation in the enterprise, utilising the funds at risk on a profit and loss sharing basis.
This by no means implies that investments with financial institutions are necessarily speculative. This can be excluded by careful investment policy, diversification of risk and prudent management by Islamic financial institutions.
The LCCI Senior Vice-President suggested that the Islamic countries that had undergone the experience of Islamic banking should be consulted so that the existing level of services could be improved and more diversified products be introduced. | [

Nine days of January roadworks for main route onto town's high street
- Credit: Daniel Moxon
Back-to-back works projects on the same stretch of road will see delays and road closures for up to nine days, affecting those trying to access Market Street in Wymondham.
A diversion will be in place in the town from January 5-13, while two planned projects area carried out in Fairland Street and Fairland Hill.
It begins on January 5 when UK Power Networks engineers are due to begin work to install a new source of electricity supply to a private property in Fairland Street.
That job is expected to be completed by January 8, while a temporary walkway for pedestrians will be in place in the meantime.
Then, from January 9-13, essential resurfacing work will take place on both Fairland Street and Fairland Hill, with the current roads "in very poor condition".
You may also want to watch:
The resurfacing work will be carried out by Norfolk County Council's community and environmental services department and their contractors, and is expected to cost around £95,000.
Both streets will be closed to all through traffic while the resurfacing work is carried out, while on-street parking will also be suspended.
- 1 Man in 20s dies and three hurt as Audi crashes into wall
- 2 Londoners fined for travelling to stay at second home in Norfolk
- 3 'Fighting every shift' - intensive care nurse's harrowing Covid video diary
- 4 Met Office warns of snow at weekend
- 5 Driver's lucky escape as lorry ends up in ditch
- 6 Groundworks start at site of new McDonald’s restaurant
- 7 School shuts 20 minutes before opening time after staff Covid case
- 8 Town left at standstill after level crossing failure
- 9 A148 shut for'most of morning' after serious crash
- 10 Man ran onto train tracks to escape Covid police
Access to businesses and homes will be maintained from one end of the closure at any time.
Meanwhile, a signed diversion route will be in place for anyone wishing to access Market Street by car from the B1172 London Road.
Instead of turning left onto Fairland Street, drivers can continue along Avenue Road before turning left onto Elm Terrace. The one-way system on Bridewell Street will be reversed for the duration of the resurfacing works, meaning cars will be able to access Market Place that way.
Joe Mooney, county councillor for Wymondham, said: "The current road surface in Fairland Street and Fairland Hill is in a poor condition and there is therefore an urgent need for them to be resurfaced.
"I recognise that road closures cause great inconvenience to road users. However, I believe that the proposed works will provide maximum gain for short term pain.
"A diversion will be in place and I very much hope that this will help to minimise any disruption."
Timings of the works are subject to change, depending on weather conditions and the availability of materials. | [

GAO says NNSA must address plutonium research needs
The GAO said the NNSA, a separately organized agency within the Department of Energy, must develop a plan for near- and longer-term plutonium needs. The NNSA agreed with the recommendation.
In April 2012, NNSA's Los Alamos National Laboratory conducted a study to identify the general options for meeting the agency's plutonium research needs during a several-year gap created by deferring the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement nuclear facility. In February 2012, the NNSA deferred CMRR nuclear facility construction for at least five years, creating a potential plutonium research gap between 2019 and the late 2020s.
The study found that the level of plutonium research needed to support the nuclear weapons life extension programs would be affected by several uncertainties, including the planned schedule of the programs, the number of pits needed and the number of pits that need to be manufactured rather than re-used.
The LANL study presented three options for meeting the NNSA's plutonium research needs, but as of July, officials had not yet selected an option for research needs from 2019 through the late 2020s.
The Senate Armed Services Committee directed the GAO to review the LANL study to examine the options identified in the study and the potential impacts of the options on NNSA's plutonium research for the nuclear weapons stockpile and other plutonium research missions.
The status of the GAO's recommendation to develop a plan remains open and will be updated when the NNSA takes action in response to the recommendation.
The NNSA manages the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile and conducts research to extend the life of existing weapons. Nuclear weapons require plutonium to create a nuclear explosion. | [

No, the real problem is that it's best served as an FWD car without worrying about wheel articulation and traction on loose gravel. Audi knew that and didn't organize a fun little off-road course during the launch like SEAT did with the Ateca sister car.
You could say that we picked this Q2 review from CarWow because we've taken a liking to Mat Watson's new approach. That's correct, but it's also the first video where the crossovers' flaws are highlighted for all the world to see. Over the years, we've come to realize that making a car shorter and giving it a smaller engine will only lower the cost by about 10-20%.
So the sub-20,000 British point Q2 needs to cut some corners. Otherwise, you can't have an Audi for Opel money. The plastics below a certain level are a bit harsh, but we can live with that. However, one of the major issues is that the suspension is a little first. That can sometimes make the difference between a popular SUV and one that doesn't sell so well.
Mat also points out that the Q3 has adaptive steering. This feature is not to be underestimated, as it can make a world of difference when you want to drive up a mountain road and don't want to take your hands off the steering wheel. The rear passenger and luggage spaces are also on par with the A3, so much so that we think it's going to cannibalize sales.
To conclude, the Q2 is like the pocket knife or crossovers: good at some things, but average in general. | [

I was wondering if anyone can confirm if i was hearing rumors about another halo game coming out or is there really going to be one?
There are 3 Halo games in the works, Halo CEA, which is a remake of Halo CE, to celebrate the 10 years of Halo, Halo 4 is most likely half way done or close finale steps of finishing, and another Halo game which may or may not be in the starting stages of it’s life, and rather that be Halo 5, or some other Halo title, we will not know until after Halo 4 is released.,\
And technically at least 4 games planned, as Halo 4 is supposed to be the start of a new trilogy.
a trilogy is a set of 3 and halo 4 is the start.
> …and another Halo game which may or may not be in the starting stages of it’s life
What? When did they mention this? Or where did the rumors start? If it’s true, I hope it’s Halo Wars 2
Ok, I’m going to point out that what I said doesn’t state that there are rumors, or that 343 has said any thing.
But I am going to say this: There is a VERY good chance that 343 is in the works of wrighting the stories for Halo 5 and maybe even 6, and also most likely started the very early work on Halo 5.
But we will not know this to be true until after they announce those titles and release them. But from common sense, I have a good feeling that game deves don’t announce “HEY, we’re making such-and-such game.” at E3, show some kick -Yoink- trailer and start making the game, there’s a lot more work put into games.
Also, I’ve tried many times to post a reply, and every time it doesn’t make it. But any ways, in one reply, I was a smart -Yoink-, but, I am going to point out that yes there is 3 in trilogy, and 343 is going to make a new trilogy of Halo, AND Halo CEA!
When i was reading OXM today, it says that O’Conner already knows the overall story arc but not the intricate details of all of the games. Except Halo 4 of course. | [
