ZERO REKOGNITION: A group of Amazon shareholders are trying to prevent the company from selling its facial recognition software to law enforcement agencies out of concern for the technology's impact on civil liberties.
Shareholders filed a resolution Thursday to prohibit selling Amazon's facial recognition software, known as Rekognition, to government entities until the company's board looks into its potential use and finds that "the technology does not cause or contribute to actual or potential violations of civil and human rights."
"It's a familiar pattern: a leading tech company marketing what is hailed as breakthrough technology without understanding or assessing the many real and potential harms of that product," said Michael Connor, the executive director of Open MIC, a nonprofit trying to encourage shareholder activism at tech companies.
"Sales of Rekognition to government represent considerable risk for the company and investors. That's why it's imperative those sales be halted immediately," Connor said. Why it's an issue: Black lawmakers, civil rights groups and privacy activists have criticized Amazon's contracts with law enforcement agencies for Rekognition out of concern for the technology's accuracy and how it could be abused by police.
Amazon's response: Amazon Web Services (AWS), the subsidiary developing the technology, has argued that Rekognition is reliable and that its law enforcement clients are subject to a strict user policy. Read more here.
TRACKING HOW WE'RE TRACKED: The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Thursday sued seven federal agencies, seeking to obtain records on how the government surveils people on social media.
The ACLU said it has submitted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to each of the agencies they are suing but have not received substantive responses.
"The FBI, for one, has repeatedly acknowledged that it engages in surveillance of social media posts," the ACLU wrote in a blog post describing the lawsuit. "So it was surprising when the bureau responded to our Freedom of Information Act request on this kind of surveillance by saying that it 'can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records.'"

KEEP YOUR CALENDARS MARKED: A federal appeals court denied the Federal Communications Commission's request to postpone oral arguments in a court battle over the agency's decision to repeal its net neutrality rules.
The FCC had asked for the hearing to be postponed since the commission's workforce has largely been furloughed due to the partial government shutdown.
The hearing remains set for February 1.
The FCC had asked the three-judge panel from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to delay oral arguments out of "an abundance of caution" due to its lapse of funding. Read more here.

I (DON'T) BLESS THE HACKS DOWN IN AFRICA: A cybersecurity firm has identified four different cyberattack campaigns against various banks and other financial institutions in West African countries, researchers said Wednesday.

HEY YOU, GET OUT OF MY CLOUD: A team of researchers have identified a new kind of malware that they say can remove cloud security products.
Researchers from Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 said in a report released Thursday that the malware samples they obtained, which are used by a hacking group known as "Rocke," showed that they could remove security products from compromised Linux cloud servers.
The Rocke group seeks to mine cryptocurrency and has apparently found ways to derail cloud protections that might otherwise detect their malware, the researchers found.
The researchers determined that the malware would gain full control of the products, and then use the product's main administrative control to uninstall them from the servers. The code followed instructions on how to disable the protections that were publicly available online. Read more here.
DELETE IT ALL: Apple CEO Tim Cook called for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to allow users delete their data "on demand, freely, [and] easily" amid growing concerns about how large companies collect and sell information about individuals.
In an op-ed published Wednesday in Time magazine, the Apple chief laid out a series of recommendations for a comprehensive national data privacy law, which he said should include greater oversight of data brokers.
Data brokers are third-party entities that collect and sell data about consumers using their online footprint.
Cook wrote that the FTC could create a "data-broker clearinghouse," which would require data brokers to register their activities.
"Meaningful, comprehensive federal privacy legislation should not only aim to put consumers in control of their data, it should also shine a light on actors trafficking in your data behind the scenes," Cook wrote. Read more here.

Plastic surgery can improve the part of your appearance you have always disliked. You can enhance your appearance, tighten your body and improve your face with plastic surgery. Nowadays, the fees are increasingly more affordable. Read on to learn how to get the most benefit out of cosmetic surgery.
TIP! People that are contemplating getting plastic surgery need to do as much research about it as possible regarding the recovery period. Knowing the details of a procedure and its likely recovery process is essential in order to avoid disappointment and unanticipated complications.
Before choosing a surgeon, look into his portfolio of former patients. You can tell if you will be pleased with the surgeon’s work by viewing these pictures. Speak up and discuss any concerns that you have; request to talk to previous patients about what they went through. This can help you determine if the surgeon is for you.
TIP! Make sure you are considering the full range of treatment alternatives that can give you the effects you seek before submitting to surgery. Sometimes there are procedures that are less-invasive and will help with your condition without surgery.
Ask your surgeon about antibiotics. To minimize the chance of complications from infections, many doctors do have patients begin an antibiotic regimen prior to surgery. If the doctor you are speaking with does not think you need antibiotics, talk to someone else to see what they think.
TIP! Make sure that the surgeon you choose possesses adequate malpractice insurance. You want the policy to provide enough funds to cover reconstructive surgeries or inconveniences in the event of something going amiss in your procedure.
Cosmetic procedures can be quite costly, and may also require you to miss work. Because of this, you should have a bit of money reserved for the procedure and post-op expenses. That way, you’ll be set up to take care of yourself and recover from your surgery.
TIP! Take a visit to the place you are having the procedure. If you are planning an outpatient surgery, ask your surgeon about the location so you can do some research about it.
Gather as much information about the particular procedure you are considering. By the time the surgeon sits down with you to talk things over, you should already know a lot about your procedure. You will be able to ask the questions that matter and recognize any inconsistencies from your surgeon if he or she is not being honest with you.
TIP! The cost of your surgery should always be negotiated with your doctor. Discuss the payment, and establish a plan if one is needed.
Find a surgeon who has been certified by the ASPS. This organization ensures that doctors performing cosmetic surgery are qualified to do so. Inquire with the surgeon how many times they have done this particular procedure.
TIP! A lot of the times people might lose a lot of blood in surgery. Although bleeding does happen in most surgeries, excessive blood loss creates major medical complications.
Listen to your doctor. If he or she does not want to perform a particular surgery on you, understand that there is a solid reason why. If you doubt the reasoning behind such a decision, ask another doctor to weigh in. Doing so will help you ensure your safety during surgery.
TIP! Speak with your physician to determine the frequency that he or she performs each surgery. The more frequently your surgeon does this procedure, the more skilled at it he or she will be.
Be realistic about what you can expect from the results of your cosmetic procedure. Plastic surgery is not as miraculous as it seems and there are distinct limitation to what can be achieved through the procedures. If you have strongly entrenched body image problems, it is especially likely that you will be disappointed with the results of your procedure. Altering your physical appearance may help, but it may not be the ultimate cure. It may be wise to first seek professional counseling to get at the roots of any emotional issues.
TIP! There are a lot of things that are great about getting plastic surgery; this includes better self-esteem! If you’ve had major physical injuries, cosmetic surgery can sometimes help. For example, burned skin can be repaired.
Don’t make any decisions about procedures before thoroughly discussing your options with your surgeon. An experienced specialist when it comes to cosmetic surgery could present you with various options that could meet your needs. Consult with your doctor with an open mind and a full understanding of the risks involved as you make your decisions on how best to proceed.
TIP! Try to fix the root of your problem before deciding on surgery. Cosmetic procedures normally aren’t dangerous, but there can be complications.
A key part of preparing for cosmetic surgery is learning about recovery processes. The time during recovery can have an effect on your end result, so it is important to follow your doctor’s orders. The first couple of weeks are the most important.
TIP! When you talk with a plastic surgeon, what should you ask him? You should always be armed with information before choosing to have any procedure done, so it is imperative to do research and ask questions. Choose a surgeon with a board certification and a good education.
You should remember that you will age and this can make cosmetic procedures more noticeable. It is not too hard to find examples of people who are forced to deal with breast implants or botox treatments that were flawless a decade ago and look seriously out-of-place today. Talk to your surgeon to ensure you’ll be able to look right as you age.
TIP! When you are considering plastic surgery, there are a few things to learn about. Recovery is the first thing you need to understand.
Just because a surgeon is expensive, that doesn’t mean he is highly-skilled. When searching for a surgeon, prices shouldn’t be the most important consideration. It is possible that a lower cost surgeon is a good value, or he might just be cutting corners. On the other hand, the extravagantly priced doctor may be tacking on unnecessary items to your bill, or just be using the most modern equipment available. You cannot be positive until you do all of your research.
TIP! If you are not ready for plastic surgery, wait. Many of the surgeries are very fast.
Getting plastic surgery is something you should think about carefully and compare to other alternatives. Hopefully this guide has given you the information you need in order to make a good decision when it comes to plastic surgery. | 2019-04-19T09:35:11Z | http://freelasereyesurgery.com/uncategorized/the-world-of-plastic-surgery-helpful-tips-2/ |

About a year ago, I learned that I could load a 3D model into Fusion 360, and it can calculate all the slices necessary to turn it into a laser-cut cardboard (or wood or acrylic or whatever) project.
I left a few sprinkled around the break areas work. A few got reassembled in interesting ways. This one is a sort of hourglass shape. I never snapped a photo, but once there were several combined into a car-like shape.
Improperly assembled ball? Or the budding start of a construction toy?
This got me thinking. The single-purpose cardboard ball pieces got used as a construction toy. Maybe I could just make a similar purpose-built set of construction pieces? A flat-Lego that can build 3D shapes?
I’m pretty sure that the design I came up with isn’t actually original — that I’ve previously seen it as a child or adult. But the implementation, size, and other details are mine. The single-size shapes are 60mm across, with slots that leave a 10mm gap in the center. The double-width rectangle is the same size as two squares hooked together (with that 10mm gap between), namely 130mm across.
The design files are up on Thingiverse as Locky, the Laser-Cut Tile Construction Set.
I’ve deposited them in the office break rooms and folks have already build some interesting shapes with them — one incorporating the cardboard balls.
I’m interested in making more shapes, and have two specific shapes in mind, but have some concerns. I’d like to do diagonals — on the 45º of the squares and/or circles. But I’m not sure the best depth to use. I could keep them the same depth, so that the pieces slot in at the same distance, with the same amount sticking out. But that could affect alignment. Remember, if we have a right triangle and the two sides are the same, the hypotenuse is going to be a bit longer. So a grid of squares, with squares (or circles, for that matter) on the diagonals aren’t going to quite reach the diagonal neighbors. I could keep them more shallow, to accommodate the hypotenuse connections, but then if you really did want to do a radial starburst of equal depth/distance, that wouldn’t work.
The other shape I’m thinking of is a “roof.” This would be a rectangle, with hinged folds. Sets of squares “one square away” from each other would make a nice gabled A-frame roof. And two-away would make a perfectly flat roof. Or base, if you wanted it to be a base.
So I’m still thinking of ways to expand the shapes. If you have thoughts, please share!
For 45 degree angles, rather than changing depths, I feel like a set of 1w x 1.414w (w=60mm) ovals or rectangles would work.
Oops. possibly sqrt(2)*60mm + sqrt(2)*(distance from center of a tile to the edge of the interlocked tile)?
L=dist from center to edge of interlocked tile.
Wow, that’s an angle I hadn’t even considered. That would solve some of the problems, but introduces a slightly different form of size/shape/depth diagonal weirdness. I’ll have to think on this and maybe experiment with how it feels. | 2019-04-21T00:10:54Z | https://netninja.com/2019/01/23/locky-the-laser-cut-tile-construction-set/ |

Last weekend I went out treasure hunting, as I've been known to do. I have a running list of things I'm looking for, and then there's the thrill of discovery that comes, because well, you just never know what you might unearth while digging through boxes and piles or sorting through the items buried within the sundry stockpile of belongings laid out like dirty laundry for all who dare to rummage around in it.
To score good junk, you have to be willing to get your hands and clothes dirty and willing to let your backseat get familiar with someone else's discards (the backseat of the car, people!) I came home a mess last weekend, but I sure had a blast.
It's amazing too, all the things I didn't know I needed, but which I obviously do, because they came home with me.
For over a year, I've been hunting for a croquet set. Mind you, I have yet to score one, but, look here... I did find this wonderfully classic horseshoe set for $6.
$6 is over my limit, but I was at a consignment store, in their mancave section, and these were probably the cheapest thing in the whole store. I decided they were worth overspending for because it was a "pay it or forget it" kinda thing. I figured I'll not likely come across a set like this again.
Would you consider these worthy of a $6 price tag? I had no clue if that was a good price, but I really liked them. So, I guess that's what matters. They are heavy and fantastically chipped up. The turquoise is especially fabulous. They are practical as well as beautiful. Everyone needs a set of horseshoes for their backyard get togethers, right?
One of the first garage sales I came to last weekend, was, I kid you not, a spread of grungy wonder. A guy had bought this house with all sorts of stuff left in it by the previous owner. I drove up to the driveway and my eyes went wide. I got that panicky feeling inside, the one that makes you want to jump out of the car while it's still moving before anyone else gets a chance to score something you should've had. I did manage to stop without running over my own feet or even screeching to a halt. I got the car into park, and while presenting a deceptively calm front, sauntered up so as not to give away the fact that someone with a measure of junk insanity was coming their way. I knew right away my other sales would have to wait. There were tables and boxes of pure junk, much that I did not need, but the kind where you know you should take your time and touch and move each item, because you never knowing what you might uncover. (I kick myself for not taking a picture of the spread. It was just a fun sight. Everyone who came up commented about how long it must have taken to set it all out.) So fun to look through.
The man doing the selling was friendly and talkative and helped me search for things I might want. He occasionally brought me my Dunkin Donut coffee cup that I kept setting down while hunting but forgot while I began rummaging in other areas.
I asked about some rusty wire baskets all stacked up under this huge dilapidated workbench and asked how much he wanted for them. He said $0.25/piece. What!? I kept my faux cool, the one that belies the level of excitement within. There were 8 of them and each was full of wood scraps I really didn't think I needed.
Wire baskets were on my list, but not white rusty ones. Did I want them? For a quarter each, I figured I could decide later if they'd work for anything I might want to do. I stacked them up and left them on hold while I continued to look. At one point someone came near them and I had to choke back the desire to yell out "those are mine!" like some of the outwardly crazed yard salers I've come into contact with in days not so long past. I took a deep breath, watched and waited... Truth be told, no one else in their right mind was likely to want them... but my inner reaction when I thought they were threatened told me that I had made the right choice to buy them. You always know how much you really want something as soon as you think someone else wants it. It all becomes VERY clear.
The guy told me I could have the wood too (he wanted all that stuff outta there!) but I didn't really think I wanted to cart all that home and have to store it. He said I could always use it for longburning firewood if nothing else..."just take it!" he begged.
DONE! I have since realized there are several projects for which I can use some of these pieces. The fact that some were already cut into circles was a huge bonus (I don't currently have those capabilities, so the work was already done for me! Hallelujah!) and are going to come in really handy for something I got from a wonderful blog this week. (I hope to start on that project this weekend!) I'm so glad I didn't dump them all out and leave them behind in my quest not to hoard! I would have been kicking myself for sure. Sometimes you have to take stuff when you have the opportunity, because it's a one shot deal. I hate coulda, shoulda, woulda regrets. If you are a project person and think you might someday use it and it's basically free, go ahead and take it. You can throw it out when you get home if you decide later you don't need it.
I could not believe it. I have been looking everywhere for one of these wagons, and there it was, pretty as a picture (an old, rusty and faded picture, but pretty nonetheless). I figured the guy would let it go reasonably. To think I'd almost missed it. It had a piece of wood attached to it with a hose guard on that. Apparently the original owner used the wagon to cart his hose and stuff around the yard. I managed to talk the guy into selling it below my limit, for $3, and one of the young guys there was kind enough to go get some tools and remove the wood thingy for me so I could get it into my car. It took everything within me to act non-chalant about it, but I drove away and whooped it up after I rounded the corner. I intend to either plant flowers in it or use it to haul things around my own yard. Charm...on wheels!
It's been out in the weather already and seen better days, so it's not like I'm gonna ruin it by leaving it out. However, do you suppose I should try to rid it of some of the rust and then repaint and seal it to see if I can stop the decay? Is that even possible? Even if I leave it as is (I kinda like the look), wouldn't it help to polyurethane it or something to keep it from getting worse in the rain? Would that work? If you know, leave me your thoughts. I'd appreciate it.
At another yard sale, I found the cutest little black rubber boots ever! Based on the high prices of things at this yard sale, I didn't even bother asking about them and left. Still, I knew they would be perfect for my nephew, Micah, and couldn't stop thinking about them. So I went back and was able to get them for $1! This picture does not adequately convey their absolute adorability. I can just picture him out in his yard helping his mom and dad in their garden while wearing these! Meanwhile they are keeping my pink boots company by the front door.
These were on my list for a project I want to do sometime. At the same place, I got a bunch of old yard sticks and rulers in a handy home sewn fabric holder for $1. I just never got around to taking a picture of them. This week I discovered some things I may be doing with those in the near future. Woo hoo. Glad to have them.
Cool, junky, rusty, chippy boxes will always come home with me if they are but $1. Call me a sucker or a hoarder, I don't care. Look below at the cool removable box inside.
I got the fish hooks as a bonus! The fishing line was $0.25.
Love this little special latched compartment.
Don't know yet what I'll do with this, but I've needed watchfaces before and didn't have any. Now I'll have one on hand. Love the simple number style. Reminds me of watches my mom wore back in the day. It cost me 50 cents.
This heavy wood stool was free at a yard sale I went to. Fine by me. It's now being used outside as a plant stand between the two metal patio chairs I repainted. Someday I'll probably paint it.
Snagged another small pallet that would fit in my car. I'm now considering making a patio deck out of pallets. See those patio stones underneath it. I long to be rid of them. They are unttractive and the weeds are always having to be pulled. I saw someone create a deck from pallets in a blog somewhere that I'll have to go back and find. I happened to be on the way to the store when I spotted this one in a place that always has pallets. There was a wonderful long one with all the wood slats butting right up next to each other. I was going to stop for it on my way home, because it would have made a great bench seat, but it was gone within the half hour before I got back. Ugh! When will I learn!
Also picked up a full length mirror from someone's trash. I didn't get a shot of it, but it's something Casey's been wanting for a long time. Done!
Since I was looking for simple white dishes for Cally's new place, these caught my eye. It's a full set of Royal Kent China from Poland (6 place settings - 8 cups and saucers) and all of this was $40.00. Seeing as sets that are only a third this size (everyday dishes at Target) are over $60, I figured this was a better deal, and pretty on top of it. There was way more to this set than what was left of the expensive set at the consignment store. There is also a large pitcher just to the right outside of the picture. It's missing the lid, but is really pretty. These place settings include bread plates and there is also a salt and pepper. In addition to the gold edging, there is a slightly raised pattern around the edges of the plates and bowls. Simple yet, pretty. I'm thrilled with it despite a couple of chips and the fact that some of the gold on the dinner plates has worn off. If anyone knows of a paint product that can be used to touch these up, please let me know in the comments!
It was a great day of treasure hunting... wouldn't you say?
Meanwhile, does anyone know of any flea markets or events between Florida and Birmingham, Alabama, going through Georgia somewhere between August 1st and the 6th or 7th? Even if you know some great thrift stores or whatnot, that would be great too. Please let me know!
I hope you have a junky weekend!
I just needed these grass clippers last night!
Now, mind you, if people around here sold vintage relics of the kind many of you seem to score each weekend, I'd be thrilled to find similar antiquities rich with tradition, beautifully chippy, worn and swathed in patina or crusted with rust. However, most of the time, the fare here is a little less exciting. Every now and then I snag a cool relic, but when those are unavailable for the pickin', I'm happy to find joy in useful beauty, especially if it's caked with nostalgia and I can get it for a song. There's nothing quite like having something you need when you need it. So many of the utilitarian items I've found have come in very handy!
Speaking of songs... my love for all things minimal and practical was instilled in me early. I was a TV-obsessed child (even with only 3 channels, one of which was mostly static), and my love of "simple" came by way of commercials such as the one below from Van Camps Pork & Beans. Back then commercials were populated with catchy little jingles that would stick in kids' heads, ensuring that their parents would never be at a loss as to how to spend their money. Those commercials also fairly well defined the times. Sometimes they defined us. They certainly defined me.
To this day, I still sing this one.
Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. Hmmm...I wonder which came first.
This song lolled about in my head, and I have an especially vivid memory of it traveling along with me to my Aunt Vernie's house one Summer. During Summer vacations we took roadtrips to Grand Rapids to visit family and friends we had left behind when we moved to Florida, back when I was two.
There I was on the front porch of Aunt Vernie's (my mom's oldest sister) home taking in the wonder of the new surroundings. I was intrigued because there were steps, which were in short supply in my Florida world! I thought that was so cool...(back then we would have said "Neat!") I was enthralled by the wonder of them, and I developed a fascination for steps and stairs, probably from those youthful trips to the other-world I discovered in Michigan.
Aunt Vernie's house had a walkway leading up a sloped yard that felt like a huge hill to this girl from the flatlands. Steps took us up to her porch. There was what seemed like a magical endless staircase that led to an upstairs apartment she rented out. The wood floors (being as I was from the land of terrazzo and concrete) were utterly foreign to me and produced an odd, hollow sound when we walked across them, unlike the solid floors of home.
It was in some ways like this home I found online here.
Wonder of wonders, there was even a mysterious, shadowy basement (a fascinating unknown in my short life) to which we were led by more steps toward an odd smelling adventure of discovery and the quaint sights one might find in such a captivating place. Mystery abounded. Aunt Vernie's basement came complete with easels, her paintings and odd basement miscellany that brought a beautiful curiosity to everything about that time and place.
This is Aunt Vernie about 20 years later in the late 80's.
In addition, Aunt Vernie's vocabulary was peppered with quirky words that made my sister and I exchange glances and giggle...she said things foreign to us, like "cockeyed" and "cockamamie", and described things as "delightful", which while causing us to smirk as children, endeared her to us as the years stretched on. We absorbed those engaging moments, her brilliant smile, comforting personality and her creativity. They settled in and took root in our hearts, leaving us with sentimental memories of times spent with her.
There I was on her porch, family mingling inside, the boys running about the yard, the breeze - wonderful, the scent in the air, sweet... and it was dinnertime. When I asked (probably hollered) the age old childhood question through the screendoor: "What's for dinner?" and heard the words "baked beans" in the lineup, the Van Camps jingle welled up inside of me, right on cue as prescribed by the advertisers who had planned for just such a time and place for their plot to unfold. This plan, through the years, by way of every form of media, has become more pronounced, more sinister and more effective than formal training could ever be. At the time, however, this particular media voice was benign enough, and it landed in just the right spot to hitch a ride with me for life, finding it's way to both my inner and my vocal voice more often than I could begin to count.
There was a special sense about that front porch moment at Aunt Vernies. There I was singing "Simple pleasures are the best..." feeling as if I belonged in a commercial. I was probably between the ages of 7 and 9, outside on a neat front porch (another anomaly because where I was from, porches were screened and in the back of the house) in an intriguing neighborhood with treelined streets and a sidewalk. It was kind of magical in that summer vacation/freedom way. Some of that sentiment stuck as I absorbed the glory of the carefree place and time and connected those sensibilities to the words of the song.
I remember feeling a little special, perhaps a bit proud of myself because I knew all the words to the Van Camps song. It gave me the impetus to sing with abandon, hoping I'd "accidentally" be noticed for my impressive memorization ability. If not, at least maybe I'd find a good excuse to bring up the fun fact of my prowess for all who would, no doubt, find my talent enthralling.
Somehow, perhaps catapulted from that moment and the ensuing needs that coerced me to make do in years and life to come, I became a lover of all things beautifully uncomplicated. I found my way toward the joy of the humble and useful, even managing to live decidedly content as that little song clicked on in my head, even at the mention of the words "simple pleasures". Each time it did, I was connected to sweet memories and those simpler times when the world was exciting, carefree and full of discovery.
This is me with my two of my brothers, two of my sisters and part of our Florida neighborhood gang where simple pleasures defined our lives and our times. I'm the mostly hidden one who is peeking out from the middle - it's the only old pic I had on my computer. Wouldn't you know my scanner isn't functioning!
Yes, when "beautiful" is in short supply, "useful" does just fine. More than fine sometimes. There is a certain delight there...and maybe that's what takes me on Saturday junk excursions with a longing to unearth treasure and wonder from the discards of another's intriguing life. Today I continue to look for something to connect me to moments as meaningful as those I discovered at Aunt Vernie's house in Michigan where I sang pork and bean jingles with abandon outside on her porch. I was loving life and discovering treasure in "all the little things that make you smile and glow".
Perhaps you'll understand, then, why sometimes the junk I cram into the back seat of my car, or for which I sort through grungy boxes, is often rather unremarkable at first glance, utilitarian in fact, and useful rather than glorious and glamorous.
Yep, I'm still a simple girl at heart, and I'm pretty sure that I have Van Camps and my visit to Aunt Vernie's to thank for it. | 2019-04-23T15:09:35Z | http://imageremix.blogspot.com/2012/07/ |

Crumbed fish burgers are a quick and perfect summer dinner, especially when you have a beautiful home made mayonnaise to go with them.
When you are in a rush and just don't feel like cooking, why not buy some good quality battered fish fillets and make fish burgers for the whole family. The kids will love them as they are delicious served on freshly baked burger buns with your favourite salads and toppings. I have found the perfect brand of crumbed fish and I won't go back. There are many different varieties which are just purely crumb and hardly any fish, but with this brand (which you can buy at Aldi stores) it is mainly fish and the taste is really quite nice.
If you want something quick, delicious and something that will definitely please the kids, then make these yummy fish burgers which are budget friendly and versatile. Serve them up with salad and chips or serve them up with salad in a bun; any way you like them, you can't go wrong.
Instead of using just plain mayonnaise as the sauce, you can easily make a quick mayonnaise that goes perfectly with fish. The dill gives the mayonnaise the herby flavour, while the garlic gives it a special tang. The lemon gives it a zest and keeps the sauce fresh in the fridge for over a week.
Place the battered fish on a baking tray and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until ready.
Arrange your buns and spread the dill mayonnaise over the bottom of the bun.
Get the fish out of the oven and place over the cheese to melt it.
Add beetroot or your favourite salads.
Serve up with a side of salad or chips.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise into a dish.
Add garlic, dill and lemon.
Stir together and make a lovely sauce. | 2019-04-20T02:26:00Z | http://kidrecipes.com.au/fish-burgers-with-dill-mayonnaise/ |

Having a great Facilities Management system in place is one of the most important ways of ensuring that the day-to-day running of your business is efficient. While traditionally Facilities Management was kept in-house, since the growth of technology it has been possible to effectively outsource these systems. As technology has developed and improved it has made it even easier and more efficient to outsource your business' Facilities Management, and today they can be operated as effectively externally as they would in-house; in fact there are some added benefits to outsourcing your Facilities Management.
Operating your Facilities Management in-house can be costly, in terms of both money and time. Outsourcing it, however, will not only cut down on the amount of time your staff are spending on overseeing the running of your Facilities Management, but will also save you money in the long-term. In-house systems and software need to be regularly updated to keep up with technological developments, which can often be expensive and time consuming. Outsourcing your software, however, will take away the cost and hassle of maintaining your systems making the process a lot easier and cheaper.
A flexible Facilities Management system, is vital for ensuring that it keeps up with changes within your company and industry. While in-house systems can easily stagnate, a good outsourced Facilities Management system will offer the flexibility needed to meet your individual business needs and changing requirements. You will be able to pick and choose the services you need specifically for your company's requirements, meaning that you won't have to deal with any unnecessary software that are of no use to your business. This will mean your staff won't have to spend extra time and training learning to use systems that are of no use to your business' requirements.
Ensuring that you and those within your team have easy access to your Facilities Management systems is important. This doesn't just mean the ability to log onto your systems quickly, but also the flexibility to allow multiple user access, as well as enabling access from multiple locations meaning that you can access your Facilities Management whether you are working in the office, at home or on the move. In addition to this, outsourcing your Facilities Management will mean that all your data, information and systems are in one location, again making it easier for you to find and access the relevant information quickly and efficiently.
KPI performance monitoring is a vital aspect of ensuring that the Facilities Management systems you have in place are working efficiently. They enable you to set and evaluate targets and goals, ensuring you keep on track while also helping you to evaluate your existing goals and amend them to be more effective in the future.

The smoked provola cheese shares the same ancient history with Mozzarella, sometimes it was preferred to mozzarella and also more common because it is more solid and has a more intense smell. The cheese is smoked using wood shavings and straw, allowing the cheese to sit in the smoke for 10 minutes to achieve the flavour. In ancient times provola was called provatura, this word was in the first Italian recipe books and comes from provare (taste) because it was orginally used for sampling. | 2019-04-21T19:04:08Z | https://www.pastagarofalo.it/us_en/products/pasta-range/short-cuts/pennoni-lisci |
Omega-3 fatty acids are well known for their ability to protect the heart and boost mental health. But here’s some health news you might not know: these essential fatty acids may speed up the rate at which your brain processes visual images.
This latest health breakthrough comes courtesy of researchers at the Brain Science Institute in Melbourne, Australia. There, the researchers set out to investigate if omega-3 fatty acids exerted any measurable effect on the brain’s ability to process visual information. They chose to examine the effects of two fish oil products with different EPA/DHA ratios.
EPA stands for “eicosapentaenoic acid” and DHA stands for “docosahexaenoic acid.” Together, these two fatty acids are considered principal sources of omega-3. Your body has a limited ability to manufacture EPA and DHA. It can convert small amounts from another essential fatty acid — alpha-linolenic acid found in foods such as flaxseed oil, canola oil, and walnuts.
For the study, the researchers looked at the effects of EPA-rich, high-EPA, DHA, and DHA-rich fish oil supplements respectively. Twenty-two healthy participants aged 18-34, with no known neurological or psychiatric disorder and not currently taking any nutritional supplementation, were recruited. The researchers used a double-blind, crossover design. The study included a 30-day washout period, between two 30-day supplementation periods of the EPA-rich and DHA-rich diets (with the order of diet randomized).
The research team measured psychophysical reaction times in the participants. They observed significantly faster choice reaction times (compared with baseline performance) under the EPA-rich (but not DHA-rich) supplementation. This suggests, the researchers say, that an EPA-rich diet triggers a more efficient neural recovery of visual responses following cortical activation and has a beneficial effect on mental processing speed and visual evoked brain activity. | 2019-04-24T09:02:09Z | https://www.doctorshealthpress.com/vision-articles/try-this-and-your-brain-could-process-visuals-faster/ |

(MECHELEN, Belgium) July 9, 2018 – Dairy manufacturers can now achieve premium texture, using a cost-efficient and sustainably sourced ingredient for creamy dairy desserts. Satiagel™ Seabrid™ is a new type of carrageenan extract, based on 100 percent cultivated seaweed, enabling a reliable supply of sustainably sourced ingredients while also delivering the texture preferred by consumers. This launch follows the 2017 debut of Cargill’s Seabrid™ solution for gelled dairy desserts.
“From our recent global proprietary consumer research, we found that texture is a strong deciding factor in consumer food preferences”, says Caroline Delabrousse, dairy application specialist for Cargill Starches, Sweeteners & Texturizers. “In line with current trends, consumers look for full-bodied products with a creamy texture. Our research also revealed that over 70 percent of consumers look at creaminess and a smooth texture as the main criteria to determine whether they will purchase a dairy dessert again. Employing a new technology, we can now replicate the functionality of wild seaweed using cultivated seaweed, offering food developers a reliable solution to achieve an appealing creamy texture”.
Euromonitor 2018 forecasts that the demand for dairy desserts will continue to increase steadily, with the Middle East and Africa as well as Eastern Europe being the fastest growing regions.
The Seabrid portfolio of texturizers is designed to help dairy manufacturers deliver textures for creamy as well as gelled dairy dessert formulations. It is part of Cargill’s broad portfolio of texturizing solutions, which includes complete texture choices for our customers derived from plant sources such as extracts from major crops (starches, soy proteins and lecithins), seaweeds (carrageenans), fruits (pectins) and sugar fermentation (xanthan gum).
The unique functionality of Seabrid also presents diverse opportunities for future developments across a range of applications which Cargill will continue to explore to further diversify our offering.
We combine 153 years of experience with new technologies and insights to serve as a trusted partner for food, agriculture, financial and industrial customers in more than 125 countries. Side-by-side, we are building a stronger, sustainable future for agriculture. | 2019-04-20T14:21:35Z | https://www.cargill.com/2018/innovative-carrageenan-extract-offers-cost-effective |
Being alone is not the same thing as being lonely. Feeling lonely has very little to do with how many friends you have, it’s about the way you feel inside. Some people who feel lonely may rarely interact with people, while others may be surrounded by people. You can feel lonely through all kinds of walks in life, for example, illness, break-up, bereavement, going to university, or moving cities. Often if you are feeling lonely you might display a positive attitude and project the appearance that everything is okay, but deep down you might be feeling very alone.
Although most people need social contact to maintain good mental health, everyone has different social needs. You may be content with a few close friends, or you may need a large group of varied acquaintances to meet your social needs. Feeling lonely in itself isn’t a mental health problem, but the two are strongly linked. Having a mental health problem increases your chance of feeling lonely, and feeling lonely can have a negative impact on your mental health.
If you are feeling lonely, you may feel shame towards yourself and view yourself as unworthy or inadequate, therefore making it even harder to reconnect. Try to remember that everyone experiences loneliness sometimes. Although it is a horrible experience, there are some ways which will help you to cope with loneliness. Depending on the reason you are feeling lonely, will depend on what things might help you.
Mindfulness – Mindfulness is an effective way to help you reconnect with the world around you and help you stay focused in the present moment. For more information on “The Very Basics of Mindfulness”, click here.
Meditation – Often when you are feeling lonely, you may find you are having more negative thoughts than usual, which can impact your mood and well-being. By taking 10-15 minutes out of your day to meditate, it will help quieten the mind and leave you in a calm, peaceful state. If you meditate first thing in the morning, it is a great way to start the day as that feeling of calm and peace will stay with you throughout.
Mindfully accept the feeling of loneliness – Loneliness is an emotion just like anger, happiness, sadness, jealously. We cannot stop these feelings, nor can we push them back out, but we can learn to mindfully accept them. For example, when you’re feeling lonely you might often find yourself ruminating about your loneliness, you may have thoughts such as, “Why am I feeling lonely”, “I don’t have any friends”, “Maybe I deserve to feel lonely”. This negative downward spiral can have a big effect on your well-being and will only make you feel worse. By practising to mindfully accept these feelings you will start to recognise these thoughts early on and instead think, “I’m having feelings of loneliness”, which will help avoid the downward spiral and bring your attention back to the present moment.
Reach out – When you are feeling lonely, you might react by withdrawing into yourself and avoiding social situations, which will only make you feel worse. It is so important you realise you are not alone. Try reaching out to a friend or family member and talk with that person about how you are feeling. When you make the first move by opening up to others, you will find that there’s so many other people out there who are feeling the same as you. If you do not have a friend or family member to talk to, try to reach out to a teacher, counsellor, or online.
Pets – Pets can be complete life saviours when it comes to loneliness. When my health was at its worst, I truly believe my dog saved me from loneliness. They give you constant love and affection, they are always loyal, and even if you are feeling undeserving of love, your dog will love you unconditionally.
Relationships – If you are feeling lonely within a relationship, you might believe that if you end the relationship you will feel even lonelier. But by staying in a toxic relationship you may be doing yourself more harm than good. Remember, being on your own is far better than being in a relationship that makes you miserable.
Avoid categorising people – If you are feeling different from other people, or feel people don’t understand your situation, it’s important to try to spend less time focusing on the differences and more time focusing on the similarities. When you focus on the differences, you begin to place others into all sorts of categories such as age, gender, appearance, wealth, so making it harder to relate and connect with people. Yet when you look beneath all of that, you can see that we all share a common human experience. We all feel the emotions of pain, love, loneliness, fear, loss, sadness, and joy. To read more on this, you can read my post, “Avoid Loneliness by Connecting with Others”, by clicking here.
Connect with people online – If you are struggling to find friends who understand what you are going through, then consider trying to find people online. If you suffer with an illness such as M.E., then an online community is especially valuable because you might not have enough energy to meet people or attend anything in person that can help you locally. A great place to meet people for the younger generation is through Instagram, because you can choose who you follow and who follows you back, plus you can make a separate account to your personal one. Just remember that if you want to find kind, positive and supportive people online, then your account also needs to be kind, positive and supportive.
No social media – When you are on social media, it is very easy to start comparing yourself to others, but this often brings your mood down. Remember that what you see on social media is not always an accurate account of someone’s day to day life as individuals often share all the positives happening in their life, but keep quiet about any negatives. As an experiment, try turning all your social media off for one week (yes, a whole week!), and see if you notice any changes in your mood during that week. You may be surprised how much better you feel.
Learn to be okay with being on your own – If the reason you are feeling lonely is because you have to spend a lot of time on your own, for example, if you are ill and unable to leave the house, or you live alone, then it is important to learn to be okay being by yourself. Try to plan your day in advance, that way you will find you’ll end up looking forward to spending time on your own. For example, you could plan on a certain evening to watch a movie, take a bath, snuggle up in front of the fire and read a book, have a pamper night, or simply make the most of the peace and quiet and listen to some gentle music and have a snooze. By planning some nice things to do in advance, you will be less likely to see being on your own as an issue and more as some good quality “me” time.
Be kind to yourself – Feeling lonely can be very stressful and can have a big impact on your general wellbeing, which might make it even harder to make positive steps to feeling better, so it’s important to be kind to yourself. To read about “Why You Need to Practise Being Kind to Yourself”, click here, to read about “12 Ways to Practise Being Kind to Yourself”, click here.
Nature – If you are finding it hard to connect to people around you, then turn to nature and the world outside. There’s so much more life out there than you might think! Go outside and explore it, even if it is just your garden.
Put your phone away – It is a lot harder to feel connected to the world through your phone than through your eyes. Try to start using your phone less, especially when you are in company or when you go outside, and instead focus on what is happening in front of you.
Do something you enjoy – When you do something you truly love and enjoy, such as writing, painting, or going for a run, whatever it is, you immediately become filled with happiness and feel a connection to the activity you love. If you start to do this every day, you are more likely to have positive feelings and want to reach out and share or find other people who have the same passion as you.
Find like-minded people – If you are able, try and join something locally where you can meet and connect with other people like you. My biggest recommendation would be to join a meditation class! The people who I met through my meditation class were some of the kindest, most supportive people I have ever encountered. It is important to also remember that age is irrelevant. When I first joined I thought I wouldn’t be able to connect with anyone as I was a lot younger than most people in the group, but when it comes to giving compassion and support, age is completely irrelevant.
Be friends with the right kind of people – Make sure you are friends with people who are kind and supportive towards you. Although they may not understand or be able to relate to why you are feeling lonely, it is important you feel able to talk to them about it without feeling judged. It’s always better to have one or two close friends who you can talk to openly, rather than a group of people who you don’t feel close or connected to.
Reading – When you read a book, all your attention is focused on the story – the rest of the world just falls away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you’re absorbing. When you make strong connections to characters or storylines in a book, it can really help you feel that you are not alone.
Music – Music can change our mood in an instant, and help us understand emotions and connect to our feelings. When you are listening to a song and the lyrics are similar to how you are feeling, you feel an amazing connection and warmth. Again, like reading, it helps you feel that you are not alone.
Challenge yourself – If the reason you are feeling lonely is because you’re avoiding social situations, for example, you are not leaving your room at university and joining in with others, then it is important you start to challenge yourself. Depending on how hard this is for you depends on how big the challenge to set yourself. For example, if you have been lonely for a while, start with something small such as going to places where there are lots of people around, such as cafes, cinemas, or shops. If you feel comfortable with that, you could challenge yourself to go knock on your neighbours/roommate’s door and ask if they fancy a cup of tea, or try something even more challenging such as getting a job, volunteering, or joining a social club. Always remember to be yourself when meeting new people, that way the relationships you make are more likely to last.
Make an effort – If your friends have stopped inviting you out or have given up contact with you, have a little think as to whether this might have been as a result of you not making any effort with them. Have you been replying to their messages? Have you tried to meet up with them? If the answer is no, then you might want to consider making more time and effort with your friends. Even if things are difficult for you right now, you could just send your friend a text saying, “Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate it.” Just one quick text of thanks and gratitude can go a long way in a friendship. Having said this, if you are ill and your health is unreliable meaning you often have to cancel last minute plans, explain this to your friends so they are always aware you might have to cancel last minute, and help them understand you are not cancelling your plans with them out of choice.
I hope you find these tips useful and you are soon able to feel connected to the world again. | 2019-04-26T15:44:30Z | http://mindfullyevie.com/20-ways-help-cope-loneliness/ |

Building skills in League of Legends can be a big challenge, since the game is constantly evolving. Simply logging lots of hours in the game in hopes of improving isn’t that effective, and sooner or later you’ll plateau.
What really can really help you take your game to the next level isn’t actually tied to the mechanics of playing the game; it’s all about your foundation. Today we’ll focus on foundational elements of League of Legends that will get you a lot farther and improve your skills faster. This list of tips and tricks are essential if you want to climb in ranked, or simply become a better player regardless of the game mode.
You should always treat the Summoner’s Rift as a whole, regardless of your role. For a good portion of each game, you will only inhabit a small portion of it, but as the game develops you will move from your lane/jungle and become a part of a five-man unit that will contest enemy structures and objectives. While laning, you should always look at the mini-map every couple of seconds, but also keep in mind where the enemy laner/jungler was last seen. League is a game of pathing, and there is only a set number of possibilities for every situation; by having a good read on the enemy jungler or laner you can evade countless ganks.
So how does this manifest in actual League play?
If you’re the ADC and you don’t see the enemy midlaner on the map, then perhaps pushing and going for trades isn’t the most logical decision. Likewise, if you notice your lane opponent playing a bit differently and trying to provoke a fight, it probably means the enemy jungler is in close proximity.
If you’re going for a push on a sideline (top or bottom), then pay very close attention to where the enemy team was last seen. If you don’t keep track, you will get collapsed upon very quickly.
Talking to your teammates from the very beginning is the single most important thing while in-game. From the pick and ban phase to the final moments of the game, you should exchange thoughts, warnings, and advice whenever possible.
If you’re jungling, make sure to ping and communicate your intentions as early as possible – most players don’t react that quickly, and they might not even see your champion icon on the map in time to assist the gank.
If you’re a support, always ping your ADC to back off a bit when you’re off to place a couple of wards. Experienced enemy duos almost always capitalize and go all-in on an abandoned player.
If you’re laning and notice an enemy place a ward in the nearby brush, make sure to ping it to your jungler so that they don’t waste precious time by waiting in close proximity.
Always ping missing opponents if you’re on a lane. If you’re jungling and recognize the pattern the opposing jungler is taking, call it out in chat so that your teammates can be careful.
This is an incredibly important aspect of League of Legends. By seeing your opponent’s intentions and movements, you will be able to predict and counter-engage but also evade ganks from the enemy jungler/laner.
While your support does the majority of the work with regard to vision control, you can help out quite a bit by buying Vision wards (75 gold apiece) whenever you have an open slot and placing them on certain points of the map. These wards last until they’re destroyed (but are limited to one per player), and they can very easily give you control of a smaller portion of a map (or very important passages and choke points).
If you watch any high-level competitive League game, you will see that every member of the team constantly buys and refreshes vision on the map. This is incredibly important in every stage of the game, and if your support wards correctly and intelligently you will evade a lot of unnecessary deaths and team fights.
Obviously, playing what you’re good at is the most logical route when you queue up for a game; however, sooner or later you will find yourself in a situation where your champion isn’t really the best possible pick. When that happens, you should be prepared. It’s illogical to play a 50 minute game and lose it because everyone played what they wanted instead of what was needed.
The willingness to adapt is incredibly important, because playing just one or two champions in your role limits your possibilities and essentially pushes your team into a corner. While “one-tricking” is often recommended for beginners, it’s not good for long-term growth. When you’re flexible you can react and counter both enemy champions and team comps.
League of Legends is a beautiful, complex game, and you will find a lot of positivity and friendship on the Summoner’s Rift. That said, toxicity – as with any other online competitive game – is a frequent sight. There is generally nothing that you can do to fix it, but there are a couple of things that you can do in order to prevent it from impacting your own level of play.
When someone is flaming, either on your team or the opposing team, the easiest (and most effective) thing you can do is to simply mute them. You can mute their chat messages, pings, and even emotes. By doing this you instantly get a pretty silent ambient – no chat messages will be popping up, you will exclude yourself from a bad atmosphere and in return be able to fully focus on your own play.
To be frank, winning is a team effort, and good individual play doesn’t necessarily guarantee overall success. But if you’re doing your part of the job, the leads you create can transfer over to the rest of your team.
If you have a bad game and start off horribly, try to adapt and play what your team needs. If you’re a toplaner and you were camped by the enemy jungler,then simply build defensive tanky items. If you’re at a big deficit early on, you won’t have the time and resources to build enough damage to be a factor come mid/late game, so building health and armor/magic resist goes a long way. It doesn’t matter how badly you begin, because you can always have an impact in the game.
Now, this is a mistake most players make very frequently. If you’re having a bad day – if you’re not playing at your usual level – then make sure to take a break and continue in a couple of hours or the day after. We all have bad days, and it’s important to acknowledge that.
This part is somewhat subjective, but there is nothing better than watching the best players in the world clash on the Rift on a weekly basis. You can’t imagine how much you could improve by just watching professional players (either when they play on the big stage or when they stream). You can see how they play the champions you love, but perhaps more important, you get to learn from their mentality and approach to every element of the game (laning phase, 1v1, 2v2, team fighting, decision making, and so on).
This one might seem a bit simple, but it’s key. Decide which champions you will “main” and be relentless! Learn them to their core, and experiment with multiple builds and runes until you find what is most viable for your personal playstyle. And above all, try to play against as many champions as possible in order to test out your limits and counters. So next time you queue up for a normal or ranked game, you will be ready regardless of your opponent.
Playing those champions should become second nature; you should know your cooldowns and strengths and weaknesses in every matchup and in every stage of the game.
Also, it’s important to be flexible once the game starts – you’re not always going to get your main role! Try to master two roles so that if you get your second one you’re not the weak link on your team.
Read and research when you have the time – there are thousands of incredible resources and knowledgebases online. If you have a question regarding a matchup or build – chances are someone already asked it! Use this to your advantage in order to hone your skills. | 2019-04-18T21:08:28Z | https://en.softonic.com/articles/how-to-become-a-champion-in-league-of-legends |

Everything is a mess. After Terry’s reveal to Ray at the end of episode 7, everything has completely spiraled out of control. Mickey is up shits creek in multiple ways, Bunchy is broke, Terry is living a lie, and Ray is well Ray. Everyone being caught up in their own drama is nothing new, but the gravity of what each one of them is involved with this time around is what separates this season from the past. We’ve got dead FBI directors, millions of lost dollars, deep dark family secrets that have still yet to be revealed and apparently (spoilers) a dead movie star in a certain someone’s bed. ‘Mister Lucky‘ proved to be another solid episode on the backend of this season but it also seems as if they’re beginning to set up next season. The magnitude of the situations each Donovan is involved with doesn’t seem like it will be able to be wrapped up in the next few weeks. Specifically, the situation with the FBI. This is definitely spoiler territory so if you’re adverse please stop reading here.
Once Mickey and Daryll murdered the head of the LA Bureau of the FBI, who has been a recurring character for several seasons now, everything changed. The amount of heat that will be rained down upon the Donovans will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before and all of them will be linked to it. In a quieter moment during ‘Mister Lucky’, Ray placed a phone call to the recently deceased head of the FBI and left a message saying ‘We had a deal’ which I think could come back to haunt him in the long run once the FBI figures out whats going on. It would not surprise me in the least if this ends up being season six’s main arc.

Arizona’s defensemen also have been caught pinching at the blue line multiple times this season, leading breakaways and odd-man rushes.

What could change: We expect the Blues to be aggressive in nhl jerseys cheap free agency and pursue a top-line center, as well as a scoring winger. The only problem? There aren’t a ton of great names available, especially if St. Louis whiffs on John Tavares. The Blues may be in a stalemate.
The Devils are slowly but surely building out a core of exciting talent in New Jersey, but didn’t really have a true cornerstone to build around. Taylor Hall is a great scoring winger, and Pavel Zacha and Michael McLeod are great prospects, but none of wholesale jerseys them project as the kind of dominant cheap Brent Burns jersey No. 1 center that often anchors great teams.

After deciding against the Klay Thompson-for-Kevin Love swap, Kerr helped refine the Warriors’ offense, which improved from 12th in offensive rating during Mark Jackson’s final year at the helm to second in 2015 (and then to first in each of the two ensuing seasons). Golden State jumped from 51 wins to 67, raced through the Western Conference playoffs and dispatched LeBron James and the Cavs in six.

Geology is the science and study of the composition, structure, properties, and history of the Earth, as well as the processes by which it is formed, moved, and changed.
The field is a major academic discipline, and is commercially important for mineral and hydrocarbon extraction, as well as for predicting and understanding earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It is also an important foundation for many other science and engineering disciplines, including evolutionary biology, paleoclimatology, and geotechnical engineering.
The word geology was first used by Jean-André Deluc in 1778 and introduced as a fixed term by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in 1779. The word is derived from the Greek "gê", meaning "earth" and "logos", meaning "speech".
The study of the physical material of the Earth dates back at least to ancient Greece when Theophrastus (372-287 BC) wrote "Peri Lithon" (On Stones). In the Roman period, Pliny the Elder wrote in detail of the many minerals and metals then in practical use.
Modern geology began in the medieval Islamic world. Abu al-Rayhan al-Biruni (973–1048 AD) was one of the earliest Muslim geologists, whose works included the earliest writings on the geology of India, hypothesizing that the Indian subcontinent was once a sea. Islamic scholar Ibn Sina (Avicenna (981–1037) proposed detailed explanations for the formation of mountains, the origin of earthquakes, and other topics central to modern geology, which provided an essential foundation for the later development of the science.
In China, Shen Kua (1031–1095) formulated a hypothesis for the process of land formation. Based on his observation of fossil animal shells in a geological stratum in a mountain hundreds of miles from the ocean, he inferred that the land was formed by erosion of the mountains and by deposition of silt.
Nicolas Steno (1638–1686) is credited with the law of superposition, the principle of original horizontality, and the principle of lateral continuity: three defining principles of stratigraphy.
James Hutton is often viewed as the first modern geologist. In 1785, he presented a paper entitled "Theory of the Earth" to the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In his paper, he explained his theory that the Earth must be much older than had previously been supposed in order to allow enough time for mountains to be eroded and for sediments to form new rocks at the bottom of the sea, which in turn were raised up to become dry land. Hutton published a two-volume version of his ideas in 1795..
Sir Charles Lyell first published his famous book "Principles of Geology", in 1830. The book influenced the thought of Charles Darwin, and successfully promoted the doctrine of uniformitarianism. This theory states that slow geological processes have occurred throughout the Earth's history and are still occurring today. In contrast, catastrophism is the theory that Earth's features formed in single, catastrophic events and remained unchanged thereafter. Though Hutton believed in uniformitarianism, the idea was not widely accepted at the time, and is somewhat oversimplified compared to today's knowledge. Listen HERE to a radio debate that illustrates how little was understood about these processes as recently as 1965.
Much of 19th-century geology revolved around the question of the Earth's exact age. Estimates varied from a few thousand to billions of years. By the early 20th century, radiometric dating allowed the Earth's age to be estimated at two billion years. The awareness of this vast amount of time opened the door to new theories about the processes that shaped the planet.
The most significant advances in 20th century geology have been the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, and the refinement of estimates of the planet's age. Plate tectonic theory arose out of two separate geological observations: seafloor spreading and continental drift. The concept was first mentioned by Antonio Snyder-Pelligreni in 1858, who attributed it to the Biblical flood. In 1912, Alfred Wegener, proposed a theory which accounted for the movement of the continents and the apparent wandering of the north and south poles. However, it was not until the mid-1960's, that Wegener's theory was widely accepted by the geological community, Tuzo Wilson of the University of Toronto being one of the significant contributors. The theory revolutionized the Earth sciences.
The history of the Earth (also called the chronology or timeline) is inferred from the minerals found in older rocks and from the fossils found in younger rocks, as observed in outcrops and well bores drilled for oil and other minerals, as well as those drilled specifically to elucidate the issue of plate tectonics, for example the Ocean Drilling Program that discovered the mid-oceanic ridges and documented sea-floor spreading.
The earliest Solar System material is dated to 4567.2 ± 0.6 million years ago, and by 4540 million years ago, the Earth and the other planets in the Solar System had formed out of the solar nebula, a disk-shaped mass of dust and gas left over from the formation of the Sun. This assembly of the Earth through accretion was largely completed within 10 to 20 million years. Initially molten, the outer layer of planet Earth cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed shortly thereafter, 4530 million years ago, due to a collision between Earth and a Mars sized object.
Other major events led to the precursors of life and finally to the Earth we know today.
About 7 million years ago, ancient predecessors to humans emerged, and look at the mess we are in now! | 2019-04-20T22:12:41Z | https://www.spec2000.net/20-struct0.htm |

Nine months on the market with no activity... we listed it... did this web page... got it on page 1 of Google "Bonsall Home for Sale".... had Three Offers... and the buyer from Scottsdale drove over ... specifically to see this one home... after finding it on Realtor.com... and following the links to this web site. Spectacular Marketing will always get Spectacular Results... in this market... you can't imagine the difference. This Seller can tell you!
This is Saratoga Estates... one of Southern California's Premiere Equestrian Communities... sitting right in the middle of Beautiful Bonsall California. The old adage of Location... Location... Location... has never been more true than with this Spectacular Bonsall Home for Sale! The gated estate community offers miles of dedicated horse trails and this particular home has wonderful horse improvements including irrigated fenced pasture... turnout arena... shed row barn... and a flat useable... yet view 2.42 Acre secluded lot. Whether you own a horse or not... this is one of San Diego's finest communities... and the life experience will be paradise. The home... a truly incredible re-build of a wonderful 1985 custom home... creating a "Better than New" residence... built to a standard seldom found. In the view above, shot from across Moosa Canyon in Hialeah Estates... you can see our treasure in the center of the photo... tucked into the hillside on the quiet back side of Saratoga Estates... with the barn and Grove nestled behind the rambling elegant residence.
Gated... quiet Saratoga Estates has Only three Private Roads... two courts... and Via Mariposa... so upon entering... you have a simple choice of shortcut... left for Norte... right for Sur... but either direction will get you to 7102 Via Mariposa Norte... and if paradise had an address... this might be it. Easy access to I-15 by way of Camino Del Rey... but tucked into the back of the community in one of their most quiet settings. Noise Pollution her will be pesky crows... Red-tailed Hawks... and Barn Owls at night. Secure gated access, private roads and two Acre Minimum parcels insure the enjoyment of nature... solitude... and serenity... attributes hard to find in Southern California today. Not only has this entire home been lovingly re-built... all of the horse improvements are new as well. Beautiful Low maintenance Vinyl Pasture fencing... new irrigation for the pasture and dust control of the turnout arena... and you'll notice this is mature established landscaping. San Luis Rey Golf and Tennis is just down the street... with fun to be had... and a great casual restaurant... with excellent food and atmosphere.
If there is one single attribute most difficult to find in Southern California today... it would be "Quiet". Well this is what quiet looks like... this is the place to hide from the rest of the world. As soon as you enter Saratoga Estates... you know it is special. As soon as you arrive at the drive entrance... you know the home is special. This was a nicely built custom home in 1985. When the current owners bought it in 1999... it was dated... dark... and is a state of disrepair. This was not re-done to make a profit... so no expense was spared in creating a "New" Dream Home. Situations change... and the current owners have relocated out of state... and here is an incredibly opportunity. If you bought a 1985 fixer anywhere in Bonsall.. Fallbrook... or Vista... at today's market price... you could not re-build to this standard within hundreds of thousands of dollars... of what this home is going to sell for. This owner bought the home... and completely re-built it... and now you can buy it for less than replacement cost!

Yorkville PSA1 is a Paraline Series 1200-Watt Compact Full Range Active Loudspeaker.
The Yorkville PSA1 is a Paraline Series 1200-Watt Compact Full Range Active Loudspeaker.
Two BMS 1.75-inch compression drivers mounted to the patented Paraline lens delivers a focused 15-degree vertical dispersion and wide 110 degree horizontal coverage. Four high quality 18 Sound 6-inch woofers provide a tight and ultra responsive low frequency program.
The Paraline Lens eliminates the impractical depth needed to make a conventional horn that would sum into a non-interfering source needed for multiple cabinet arrays. In the case of the PSA1, a vertical dispersion pattern of 15° is achieved with a Paraline lens less than one inch deep, where a conventional horn design would need to be several metres in length.
Four 6-inch high power woofers mounted on the “V” shaped front baffle /horn utilize the entire front surface area of the cabinet to increase loading on the drivers and control pattern coverage at lower frequencies. This unique four woofer design increases power handling while reducing power compression by spreading the work load out over four long excursion voice coils and heat sinks (magnets).
Rugged injection molded ABS cabinet and Neodymium magnet woofers minimize overall cabinet weight making a full system transport and set-up can easily be handled with a single operator. Designed to deliver maximum performance with minimum complication, the PSA1’s integrated power amplifiers and internal DSP mean no external processing is required. Direct connect to mixer source and set system levels, and the system is ready for the show. | 2019-04-22T11:56:59Z | https://www.canalsoundlight.com/product/yorkville-psa1/ |
Computing is becoming increasingly mobile. In fact, analysts predict more tablets will be shipped in 2015 than desktop PCs. More people are using their smartphones and tablets to research information, make connections and transact business (including donating to the causes they love).
Donors are accessing websites – and in turn donation pages – increasingly via their smartphones. For fundraisers and organizations this means offering them an easy to read and navigate experience so they continue to donate!
Have you ever used your phone to search the Internet and landed on a page with really tiny text? Or ended up on a mobile site that only contained some of the information you needed? It’s frustrating. The good news is you can help your supporters avoid this frustration by designing your website with a responsive design.
By creating a website with a responsive design, you can make all your information (and your donation page) available to everyone, no matter what device they are using.
Flexible layouts that automatically adapt to the user’s screen size and resolution.
Text that easily flows from multiple columns to one column and back again.
Navigation that provides smooth, easy access to all the information on the site.
This actually makes life easier for you because you only need to maintain one website, rather than multiple versions for desktop PCs and various devices.
When your donors visit your page on their smartphones and discover they can easily navigate to the information they want, they’ll be more likely to come back again and again. They’ll be able to read all your fresh and engaging content while they wait at the doctor’s office or in line at the bank. The more they interact with your site, the more likely they are to donate often to your cause.
In addition, if you can make your information easy to share, your donors will be able to share your news with their friends right from their phones.
We all use our phones to do many things. Why not make your site one of the “go-to” places for your donors on the move? | 2019-04-21T02:39:31Z | https://blog.greatergiving.com/raise-responsive-design/ |

No, it’s not the outlaw! Last week, we noticed a number of wasps on the terrace outside of the kitchen but they soon disappeared. Several days later, our building guardian advised that my neighbour on the 4th floor had been inundated with bees, did I have a similar problem? I said that there’d been a few wasps a couple of days ago, but they’d now gone. Actually, they hadn’t gone, they’d just gone to ground. More specifically, they’d built a nest under the full length tablecloth on the table outside our one and only guest room.
Initially, we thought they were wasps so we checked on the internet how best to evict our unwanted visitors. We decided to go for the low tech approach: sugar water in a bowl. The wasps have shown no interest in this whatsoever and on closer inspection, we think they’re bees. A large number of bees escaped recently from a hive which was being moved nearby. We think some of them have moved in with us. Bees pollinate, present no real problem or danger, and are generally felt to be good for the environment, so we’re going to wait and see what happens: honey anyone?
In a slightly warmer climate, one does have to take care not to attract unwanted guests, such as ants, mosquitos and cafards. Living in an apartment block does pose its own problems. If one of you has an infestation, you all have one. As a consequence, we are regularly fumigated for all sorts of wee beasties. My own bete noir are the pigeons who tend to while away their days either roosting on the blinds or on the terrace balustrade. A number of neighbours have put fine wire the length of the balustrade but then the blighters sit on their garden furniture. Of course, it’s not the pigeons per se, more their droppings which pose a hazard. When the cat from next door prowled the length of our (very long) terrace, the pigeons took flight. However, after Mimosa (the cat) squandered a number of her nine lives falling from the 5th floor, our neighbours barricaded their terrace. I am loathe to acquire a cat merely to dissuade the pigeons.
During the summer months, we get lots of small lizards who enjoy sunning themselves on the wall but given that they feast on other creepy crawlers, they’re welcome to drop by. Rodents rarely make it up to the 5th floor although we do have a large population of squirrels on the Domaine. In my mind, squirrels = vermin with bushy tails. We also have a large population of magpies who regularly engage in running battles with the Domaine’s ducks: bigger, but not as fleet of foot. I’m sure there’s lots of other critters who, like us, enjoy living here but it’s largely a peaceful co-habitation. | 2019-04-21T14:22:21Z | https://viewfromtheback.com/2011/04/30/uninvited-guests/ |
For a revered monarch to mark a milestone is not a one-off affair especially for a paramount ruler of one of the country’s dominant ethnic groups. It was no doubt a huge celebration when eminent personalities from all walks of life gathered to celebrate the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Akanmu Adetunji when he marked his 90 birthday recently.
They include first-class monarchs, political leaders, market men and women, government officials, traditional groups, associations and social clubs among others. In fact, the weeklong celebration was full of pomp.
The Olubadan was praised by representatives of different groups for his sterling leadership qualities and immense contributions to the development of humanity and Ibadan land.
L-R: The Celebrant, the Olubadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, Olugbo of Ugboland, Obaa Obateru Akinruntan and Aare Musulim of Yorubaland, Chief Daud Akinola during the birthday celebration.

Irina Shayk’s body looks just gorgeous after delivering another child. The Victoria’s Secret Show does not know when she’ll be back.

The 31-year-old star modeled a set of lacey white lingerie in the photo.
We are not surprised to see such a great post-baby body. Just a month after delivering her baby, Irina uploaded a bikini shot on Instagram, so we already saw her toned abs.
Irina Shayk shared a bright photo shoot with fans. The model together with the photographer Thierry Mugler presents spectacular and candid images.

“It is unfortunate that today the House passed a Farm Bill that did not include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provisions. This raises serious concerns about the future of SNAP, which is a critical support for thousands of hard-working Nebraskans and the 80,000 children in our state who use the program to access nutritious food. For years the Farm Bill has included provisions relating both to agriculture and food and nutrition programs, ensuring stability for our farmers and ranchers and vital nutritional support for our low-income families. This historical unity is sensible because our agricultural policies affect the cost of food and people’s access to it through nutrition programs. | 2019-04-22T16:04:28Z | https://neappleseed.org/blog/13348 |
Flashpoint is a timely film from some thirty odd years ago. It is significantly uncanny in being able to canvas and reverberate near-identical issues that have propelled Donald J. Trump into the presidency. Most enjoyable of the entire B-film is its enmity toward the Federal State; as well as the sheer braggadocio of the members of the Border Patrol in complete uninhibited form. The film is dripping with testosterone in the most positive way; it exudes a classical American ideal of a man which is classless in its composure; and that is a man that is rambunctious, physically vigorous, and with such a will-to-power that the licks from reality are savored rather than resented.
The dialogue too, for a small-budget film made by HBO before Home Box Office’s cultural ascendancy, is marvelously written. Words are sculpted to Platonically match the ideal of an action script. There is a clear decline in the quality of commercial film when this dialogue, coupled with the physically intense real stunt-action sequences done by the lead actors, is vastly superior to the cheap tricks which can be computationally programmed to jut out onto a wide screen for entertainment.
While there is no depth to the plot, there is tension and intrigue. But even this is nestled in such an anthropological feast of South Texan culture; of the fiery independency of men who would rather die alone than join the herd. And further, of men concerned about their patrol jobs being replaced by artificial intelligence. It seems as though there is nothing new under the sun after all.
One last thought, and this is regarding the nobility of one of the lead characters. The enforcement of righteousness by men of his stature, a stature which is not socially but spiritually significant, of one who aforementioned revels in being a beast of prey in the world yet directs his aim in an edifying manner, is the secret bedrock to the growth of an evolved society. This, the righteous man of the world, would have his actions transcribed by sages to be passed down to posterity in the hopes it inspires a future breed to rival him. As Camus noted, the struggle for the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. And what is the highest struggle but the reach for a higher mode of being, to gift it to better mankind? | 2019-04-24T18:50:52Z | http://adilettante.com/review/flashpoint-movie-review-hbo/ |
Dragonair has announced that it will launch flights to Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Jeju, South Korea, both of which are popular tourist destinations in the region. Jeju has also been actively developing its MICE sector.

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Philbyte, Sep 8, 2005.
Is there a way to increase the maximum characters of user/pass?
The idea is to let every domain name + extension to act as the cPanel username; but this won't work if username is limited to 8 characters only.
Not a bad idea in theory, however as MySQL databases are named 'username_databasename', the eight character limitation starts to help.
However the general concept is quite nice and certainly makes things easier for clients.
It would be good if, when creating an account, only the domain name is specified, not the username, with cPanel autogenerating the username and then storing both the domain name and username in a lookup table so that it could then be used for logging into cPanel, FTP, SSH and anything else that requires authenication.
The slight issue is that this would require, I imagine, one hell of a re-coding of the way cPanel deals with things. Nevertheless it may be worth it for the benefits it could bring.
The only downside I can see is that it makes hacking into an account easier, as a potential hacker need only 'guess' a valid password due to the fact that the username, being the same as the domain name, is already known.
You could have a pop and putting a feature request in through http://bugzilla.cpanel.net and then posting the link back here for people to cast their votes on it. | 2019-04-23T16:42:06Z | https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/modify-maximum-user-pass.43716/ |
So, it's an 'evolution' damn it, and a delightfully refreshing one. I think what I like most about this album is that it's got gear changes here and there, where as a lot of their previous albums have been more straight dance records. The gear changes are obvious from the first track: 'oh baby' is a sweet, almost romantic lullaby in many ways- it wasn't what I was expecting as well. But 'other voices' brings a 'Talking Heads' vibe to the proceedings that while different from what LCD Soundsystem has done in the past (at least what I've listened to, anyway) is another change of pace that I enjoyed. Similarly, 'i used to' has shades of The Cure.

A disk drive contains an integrally-formed one-piece hub, clamp and rotor housing, which is preferably injection-molded plastic. In the preferred embodiment, the hub includes a hollow cylindrical portion (201) for surrounding a set of bearings mounted on a central shaft, and a flange portion (202) extending from the middle of the cylinder and supporting a single disk (101). Compliant clamping fingers (203) on the upper surface of the flange engage the disk through its central hole. The fingers are inclined slightly outward, and include a pawl at the end of each finger. During assembly, the disk is forced over the pawls of the fingers until they engage the disk. The fingers, being slightly elastic, will deform to permit the disk to slide over the pawls, and then return to lock the disk in place. The fingers automatically center the disk about the hub axis, without the need for centering tools. The ub also serves as a housing for the rotor of a spindle motor which rotates the disk. A back iron ring and permanent magnets are attached to the underside of the flange at its outer edge to form the rotor. An electromagnetic stator assembly surrounds the disk axis in the annular space defined by the flange, the permanent magnets and back iron at the outer edge, and the cylindrical portion of the hub at the inner edge.
The present invention relates to disk drive data storage devices, and in particular to disk and hub assemblies used in disk drive storage devices.
The extensive data storage needs of modern computer systems require large capacity mass data storage devices. A common storage device is the rotating magnetic disk drive.
A disk drive typically contains one or more smooth, flat disks which are rigidly attached to a common spindle. The disks are stacked on the spindle parallel to each other and spaced apart so that they do not touch. The disks and spindle are rotated in unison at a constant speed by a spindle motor.
Each disk is formed of a solid disk-shaped base or substrate, having a hole in the middle for the spindle. The substrate is commonly aluminum, although glass, ceramic, plastic or other materials are possible. The substrate is coated with a thin layer of magnetizable material, and may additionally be coated with a protective layer.
Data is recorded on the surfaces of the disks in the magnetizable layer. To do this, minute magnetized patterns representing the data are formed in the magnetizable layer. The data patterns are usually arranged in circular concentric tracks. Each track is further divided into a number of sectors. Each sector thus forms an arc, all the sectors of a track completing a circle.
A moveable actuator positions a transducer head adjacent the data on the surface to read or write data. The actuator may be likened to the tone arm of a phonograph player, and the head to the playing needle.
There is one transducer head for each disk surface containing data. The transducer head is an aerodynamically shaped block of material (usually ceramic) on which is mounted a magnetic read/write transducer. The block, or slider, flies above the surface of the disk at an extremely small distance as the disk rotates. The close proximity to the disk surface is critical in enabling the transducer to read from or write to the data patterns in the magnetizable layer. Several different transducer designs are used, and in some cases the read transducer is separate from the write transducer.
The actuator usually pivots about an axis to position the head. It typically includes a solid block near the axis having comb-like arms extending toward the disk, a set of thin suspensions attached to the arms, and an electro-magnetic motor on the opposite side of the axis. The transducer heads are attached to the suspensions, one head for each suspension. The actuator motor rotates the actuator to position the head over a desired data track. Once the head is positioned over the track, the constant rotation of the disk will eventually bring the desired sector adjacent the head, and the data can then be read or written.
As computer systems have become more powerful, faster, and more reliable, there has been a corresponding increase in demand for improved storage devices. These desired improvements take several forms. It is desirable to reduce cost, to increase data capacity, to increase the speed at which the drives operate, to reduce the electrical power consumed by the drives, and to increase the resilience of the drives in the presence of mechanical shock and other disturbances.
In particular, there is a demand to reduce the physical size of disk drives. To some degree, reduction in size may serve to further some of the above goals. But at the same time, reduced size of disk drives is desirable in and of itself. Reduced size makes it practical to include magnetic disk drives in a range of portable applications, such as laptop computers, mobile pagers, and "smart cards".
An example of size reduction is the application of the PCMCIA Type II standard to disk drives. This standard was originally intended for semiconductor plug-in devices. With improvements to miniaturization technology, it will be possible to construct disk drives conforming to the PCMCIA Type II standard.
In order to shrink the size of disk drives, every component must be reduced in size as much as possible. Additionally, new designs of existing components must be developed to permit reduced size and make assembly of miniaturized components practical.
One limit on the extent to which a disk drive can be reduced in size is the disk/hub assembly. A conventional disk/hub assembly comprises a cylindrical hub having a flange at the bottom for supporting a disk stack. A motor for rotating the disks is located within the hub. The stack of disks rests on the upper surface of the flange, the hub fitting within corresponding holes of the disks. The individual disks are separated by spacer rings surrounding and adjacent to the hub. A clamping apparatus is attached to the top of the hub and applies a downward force to the disk stack, forcing the bottom disk against the flange and holding the stack in place. Where a disk drive has only a single disk, essentially the same design is used, but the clamping apparatus clamps only the one disk instead of the disk stack. The clamping apparatus is typically a flat steel ring having a formed circular ridge near its outer edge. The flat portion of the ring is attached to the upper surface of the hub with screws, while the ridge portion applies pressure to the disk stack or single disk. Several alternative clamp designs exist, but all involve multiple parts.
The conventional disk drive disk/hub design is not well suited to very small form factor disks, such as the PCMCIA Type II form factor. The hub must be sufficiently large to accommodate the screws. Even where very small screws are used, this requirement adds to the size and weight of the hub. The extremely small parts make assembly difficult. There is difficultly tolerating high mechanical shock of portable applications. The relatively thin disks tend to warp when clamped with sufficient clamping force; even a small warpage can be serious when track widths are being reduced. Finally, although the drive is much smaller, simple scaling down of the size of conventional parts will not result in any significant cost reduction; in fact, it may increase costs. It is desirable to develop an alternative hub/disk assembly which reduces costs and is more suitable to the design requirements of small form factor disk drives.
In an European patent application EP A-0 613 134, a magnetic disk unit which is integrally formed with a sleeve portion of a ball bearing unit, or a spindle of a spindle motor for driving the disk which is mounted on a rotor. But this document aims particularly at avoiding to align the rotor with respect to the rotary axis of the ball bearing unit.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an enhanced rotating disk data storage device.
Another object of this invention is to reduce the cost of a rotating disk data storage device.
Another object of this invention is to provide a small form factor rotating disk data storage device having an enhanced hub/disk assembly.

A rotating disk data storage device according to the invention as defined in claim 1.
Fig. 8 is a sectional view of an alternate design for a clamping finger and disk.
Fig. 1 shows a magnetic disk drive storage unit 100 in accordance with the preferred embodiment. Disk unit 100 comprises rotatable disk 101, which is rigidly attached to hub 103, which is mounted on disk drive base or housing 104. Hub 103 and disk 101 are driven by a drive motor at a constant rotational velocity. The drive motor is contained within hub 103. Actuator assembly 105 is situated to one side of disk 101. Actuator 105 rotates through an arc about shaft 106 parallel to the axis of disk 101, driven by electro-magnetic motor 107, to position the transducer heads. A cover (not shown) mates with base 104 to enclose and protect the disk and actuator assemblies. Electronic modules for controlling the operation of the drive and communicating with another device, such as a host computer, are mounted on a circuit card 112 within the head/disk enclosure formed by base 104 and the cover. In this embodiment, circuit card 112 is mounted within the enclosure and shaped to take up unused space around the disk in order to conserve space, as would be used for a PCMCIA Type II form factor. However, the card 112 could also be mounted outside the head/disk enclosure, or the base itself could be made as a circuit card for mounting electronic modules directly to it. A plurality of head/suspension assemblies 108 are rigidly attached to the prongs of actuator 105. An aerodynamic read/write transducer head 109 is located at the end of each head/suspension assembly 108 adjacent the disk surface.
Hub 103 is a one-piece, integrally-formed part which also contains clamping means for locking disk 101 in place, and which functions as a rotor housing for the drive motor. By "integrally-formed", it should be understood that hub 103 is a uniform material formed as a single solid mass by molding, casting, extruding, or other means, and may be machined, etched, or otherwise shaped as necessary to the required dimensions; hub 103 is not built up from multiple discrete components attached together. In the preferred embodiment, hub 103 is an injection molded polymeric part. Specifically, it is preferred that the polymer be a polyetherimide (PEI), in particular Ultem 7201, which is commercially available from General Electric Corporation. Ultem 7201 is preferred because its coefficient of thermal expansion is close to that of aluminum, the preferred material for disk 101. However, other suitable polymers may be used. Alternatively, it may be possible to use non-polymeric materials, such as aluminum or ceramic.
Fig. 2 is an isometric view of integral hub, clamp and rotor housing 103 according to the preferred embodiment. Hub 103 preferably includes a hollow cylindrical base portion 201, a relatively flat cylindrical flange portion 202 extending from base portion 201, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced fingers 203 for engaging disk 101 and serving as a clamping means.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view, in the plane of the disk axis, of integral hub, clamp and rotor housing 103 according to the preferred embodiment. As can be seen more clearly in the sectional view of Fig. 3, hollow cylindrical base portion 201 defines a central cylindrical hole 301 for the disk shaft and bearings. Flange portion 202 extends from approximately the middle of base portion 201. A circumferential lip 302 extends downward from the lower surface of flange portion 202, near its outer edge. Lip 302 provides a mating surface and support for a rotor back iron and permanent magnets.
Fig. 4 is a top view of integral hub, clamp and rotor housing 103 according to the preferred embodiment. In the preferred embodiment, hub 103 contains eight equally spaced fingers 203 positioned as shown, it being understood that the number and size of the fingers may vary, and that other integral clamping means may be used within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
Fig. 5 shows in greater detail hub 103 and related hardware, including components of the spindle motor, when assembled, in accordance with the preferred embodiment. Fig. 5 is a half sectional view, taken in the plane of the axis of rotation of the disks. While hub 103 and related components on only one side of the axis are depicted in Fig. 5, it should be understood that these are symmetrical about the axis.
Disk shaft 502 is rigidly attached to base 104 of the disk drive. Shaft 502 is preferably steel. Disk axis 501 runs through the center of shaft 502. Hub cylindrical portion 201 is mounted on bearing assembly 504 for rotation about axis 501. Bearing assembly preferably comprises two sets of preloaded ball bearings in sealed bearing races, at opposite ends of shaft 502. However, bearing assembly could alternatively be a fluid (hydrodynamic) or other type of bearing. In another alternative, portions of bearing assembly 504 may be integrally formed with hub 103, as for example by forming a fluid bearing surface on the inner surface of hub cylindrical portion 201.
Flange portion 202 of hub 103 extends outward from cylindrical base portion 201 at approximately the middle of its length. Disk 101 rests on the upper surface of flange portion 202, the flange supporting disk 101 from below. Multiple identical circumferentially spaced fingers 203 protrude from the upper surface of flange 202 to engage disk 101 and lock it in place, thus serving as a clamping means and obviating the need for a separately attached clamp.
Back iron 505 and set of permanent rotor magnets 506 for a brushless DC spindle motor are attached to the underside of flange portion 202 at the outer edge. Back iron 505 is a ring of magnetically permeable material, preferably an Fe-Pb alloy. Back iron 505 may also be a wound series of laminations forming a ring. Magnets 506 are preferably a solid ring of suitable magnetizable material, in which successive arcuate segments are magnetized to alternating magnetic polarity. Magnets 506 thus form a set of permanent arcuate magnets, circumferentially arranged about the disk axis to completely encircle the axis, having alternating polarity.
Circumferential lip 302 provides support for back iron 505 and magnets 506. Back iron 505 is preferably bonded to hub 103 at lip 302 and lower surface of flange 202 using a suitable adhesive. Alternatively, it may be attached to hub 103 during the injection molding process by inserting back iron 505 in the mold cavity and molding hub 103 over back iron 505. Permanent magnets 506 are preferably bonded directly to back iron 505 using a suitable adhesive.
Spindle motor electromagnetic stator 508 is attached to base 104 and positioned underneath flange 202, within the annular space defined by cylindrical base portion 201 at the inner radius and back iron 505 and magnets 506 at the outer radius. Stator 508 comprises a set of circumferentially spaced electromagnets (poles) surrounding the disk axis, each pole comprising a wire coil wrapped around a magnetically permeable core. Stator 508 is connected to motor drive electronics (not shown) on circuit card 112. In operation, the motor drive electronics sequentially pulse different poles of stator 508 to generate a rotating electromagnetic field, as is known in the art. In the preferred embodiment, stator 508 is a 3-phase stator having three poles in each phase (total of nine poles), and rotor magnet set 506 comprises twelve magnetic pole segments. However, the number of stator and rotor poles may vary.
Fig. 6 is a sectional view in the plane of the disk axis of a clamping finger 203, showing the finger in greater detail. Finger 203 is molded with a slight outward inclination to apply a small radial force to the inner hole of disk 101. Preferably, the angle of inclination is approximately 3 degrees, i.e. the angle in Fig. 6 is approximately 87 degrees, it being understood that the optimum angle will vary with the thickness of the finger and type of material selected. Near the end of finger 203 is a pawl 601 for engaging disk 101. Pawl 601 contains chamfered top edge 603 to enable assembly of the disk.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view of clamping finger 203, showing how it clamps disk 101 in place. Disk 101 and finger 203 are shown in cross-section in the plane of the disk axis.
Disk 101 preferably contains chamfered inner edges 711,712, which are chamfered at approximately a 45 degree angle. The chamfers make assembly of disk 101 to hub 103 easier, provide a surface for application of force from pawl 601, and help to center the disk.
Disk 101 is preferably assembled to hub 103 by positioning disk 101 over the fingers and pushing directly downward. When pushing downward, chamfered edge 712 on the bottom surface of disk 101 slides against chamfered edge 603 on the top surface of pawl 601. Because finger 203 is made from an elastic material, finger 203 retracts inward (toward the disk axis) as disk 101 is pushed down upon it, enabling the narrowest part of the disk center hole to clear the pawl. After the narrowest part of the disk center hole clears the pawl, the finger returns to near its original position due to the natural elasticity of the material. When the bottom surface of disk 101 rests upon flange 202, pawl 601 will be positioned as shown in Fig. 7, applying a force to chamfered edge 711.
Pawl 601 applies both a downward axial force and a radial force to chamfered edge 711. The downward axial force pushes disk 101 against the upper surface of flange portion 202, securely clamping disk 101 in place.
Because a plurality of circumferentially spaced fingers, all at the same radius from the disk axis, apply the same radial force to the chamfered inner edge 711 of the disk center hole, the disk is automatically centered about the axis as it is forced over the fingers and into its assembled position on the flange. Thus, there is no need for centering tools.
Preferably, finger 203 makes contact with the non-chamfered portion of the inner edge of the hole in disk 101, applying a slight radial force. Finger 203 acts as a non-linear beam spring. At rest with the disk in place, the radial force is small to avoid warping the disk. However, the radial force imparted by the finger increases at more than a linear rate if the finger is bent back (in the direction toward the disk axis). As a result, a much stronger force will oppose any movement of the disk from its proper position. The hub therefore achieves a high resistance to mechanical shock with a very low cost, simple design.
During drop testing, it was observed that the compliant fingers absorb a substantial part of the energy being transmitted by disk 101 to hub 103, thus preventing damage to the bearing systems. This feature is very desirable for portable media technology.
Warpage of disks is a well known problem in the disk drive art. A conventional clamp must exert considerable axial force on the clamped disk to ensure that the disk does not move. This force tends to warp the disk. It has been observed that the compliant clamping mechanism of the present invention achieves a secure clamping of the disk with virtually no warpage. Unlike conventional clamp designs, which typically use a metal clamp, the hub of the present invention is made from a compliant material which is preferably much softer than the disk itself. The surface of the compliant material deforms at the point of contact (i.e., the upper surface of flange portion 202 and fingers 203) with the disk, providing a relatively higher static coefficient of friction than is usually present with the metal-to-metal contact of a conventional disk clamp. Due to the higher coefficient of friction, the disk can be securely clamped using a smaller axial force. Additionally, because the disk material is substantially harder than the hub material, the hub surface rather than the disk surface deforms at the points of contact. The disk accordingly experiences very little local strain near the inner diameter, resulting in very low warpage as compared to a conventional disk.
The dimensions of finger 203 must be selected for the chosen hub material to provide suitable compliance of the finger, and to simultaneously provide sufficient clamping force when the disk is in place. In the preferred embodiment finger 203 is approximately 0.25 mm wide in the radial dimension, and 1 mm wide in the circumferential direction. The overall height of the finger is approximately 1 mm. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that optimal finger dimensions will vary depending on the qualities of the material. A stiffer hub material may require a thinner finger, and vice-versa. It will further be appreciated that the dimensions will vary depending upon the size and material of the disk itself. The dimensions given above for the preferred embodiment are intended for use with a 1.8" (43.22 mm) disk formed of an aluminum substrate, and having a thickness of approximately .635mm, such as would be used for a PCMCIA Type II form factor.
Fig. 8 is a sectional view of an alternate design for a clamping finger 801 and disk. The alternate clamping finger 801 of Fig. 8 is identical to clamping finger 203 described above and shown in Figs. 1-7, except for the addition of a tab 802 projecting from the side of the finger facing the disk axis. Tab 802 provides a surface for engagement with a disk removal tool (not shown). To remove disk 101, the tool applies a downward force to tab 802, tending to bend finger 801 backward. At the same time, disk 101 is lifted from the flange portion 202 of hub 103. Removal of a disk is sometimes necessary during rework of a disk drive as part of the manufacturing and testing process.
In the preferred embodiment, the clamping means is a plurality of fingers extending from the upper surface of the flange and engaging the disk. However, any clamping means which is integrally formed with the hub may be used within the scope of the present invention defined by the claims. For example, the fingers might extend from some other portion of the hub, such as hollow cylindrical base portion 201. Fingers extending from some other portion, such as the cylindrical portion, might press down on the disk from above. Alternatively, the clamping means could be a deformable ring extending from the upper surface of the flange or from the hollow cylindrical portion, or a deformable ring broken at circumferentially spaced intervals for stress relief.
In the description above, certain features have been referred to as "above" or "below" the flange, and surfaces described as "upper" or "lower". These terms are used only for ease of reference and are consistent with the drawings and the normal orientation used in the art. However, the use of these terms is not meant to imply that the present invention requires the flange to be located below the disk and above the motor. The motor and disk drive of the present invention could just as easily be constructed with the flange located above the disk, or with the axis of rotation oriented horizontally.

On July 1, our Swedish Country Director Sara Wettergren spoke on a panel during Almedalen Week – the most important forum in Swedish politics. She spoke on the importance of local democracy to poverty reduction in the Post-2015 agenda, in a session organized by the Swedish International Center for Local Democracy and DeLog: the Development Partners Working Group on Decentralisation and Local Governance.
The process of defining the post-2015 development agenda is in progress and the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals has published a zero-draft. According to Stina Karltun, Senior Expert at Sida, the draft is top down and lacks important democratic aspects of participation, accountability and transparency. Stina Karltun emphasizes the importance of creating the space for dialog at the local level and enhancing the space for people to interact with their own government. This can create a political base for the local structure which in turn can hold the central government to account.
Sara Wettergren is CEO at The Hunger Project and argues that the main point for why civil society organizations should care about local development structures is related to the sustainability of development projects. NGOs create parallel structures that are effective in the short term, but not in the long term since they are difficult to withdraw. The Hunger Project has studied local democracy in 35 countries by looking at legal and formal structures, how laws are implemented, and peoples´ perceptions. The findings indicate that the structure that supports local democracy is better on paper than in reality and that there is little awareness about the existence of these structures. This leads to a discussion on what challenges governments are facing and several aspects are mentioned, such as lack of resources, lack of or weak autonomy, and lack of capacity and training. Furthermore, many people do not know that they have rights at the local level. Sara Wettergren describes this as a default structure from the very beginning.
Jamie Boex is a Senior Research Associate at the Urban Institute and identifies challenges related to donor countries. Boex argues that there is a clash in the link between local governance and the Sustainable Development Goals which is the clash between the long term objective of democratization and the short term approach of solving problems fast. If we want to quickly improve health and education we might design the post-2015 agenda in a top down way. In addition, when donors work with countries they work with the national government and by empowering central governments we are also undermining our goal.
Boex underlines that we need both central and local levels, but the challenges lies in channeling money to the local level. According to a survey on 23 countries, only one third of the spending on health and education is channeled through local government and the control of the funds is in many cases at a minimum since it is controlled at the central government level. However, Jamie Boex also states that there is no evidence that local governments are more effective. For example we have no evidence that local governments provide better education than other institutions. Boex calls for further research on the subject while also recognizing that we need to be very pragmatic and search for synergies rather than comparing one level with the other.

My husband and I have owned two houses together. The first one was built in 1953 and had all of the age and none of the charm from that era in terms of the kitchen: old wooden cabinets, cheap linoleum over-top old original flooring, rusting metal sink…you get the picture.
Our second house was built in 1990, and while a few of the appliances had been updated before we moved in, it still had many of the just-out-of-the-80s touches you’d expect in a kitchen from 23 years ago: dark wood cabinets with brass pulls, builder’s grade drippy faucet, cream vinyl one-piece flooring and original paint.
In both cases my husband and I wanted to add some kitchen updates, but we were on a tight budget. Instead of major overhauls, we used accents and accessories to modernize the outdated kitchens, and they worked well.
Hopefully you can find some of these ideas as useful and budget-friendly as we have over the years!

During my last trip to Kyiv, Dnipro and Donbas, I’ve been in several closed-door meetings with military staff and international strategists. The following text lists some of my observations and things I was told about realities of the war in Ukraine.
All information was provided under Chatham House Rules, so it is much more straight forward than what you would hear or read from official briefings and politicians’ statements. For the same reason, I won’t name any source, naturally.
Right now, Ukraine faces some 36.300 separatists (most of them Ukrainians) at the front. While 2016 saw around 9.000 Russian troops in eastern Ukraine, this number declined to 3.000. “The problem is that they left their equipment all behind. High tech equipment.” Military academies and (Ukrainian) separatist army training bases work “highly efficient”, some still under Russian army command with many trainers being Russian-trained Ukrainians by now. They are now training “the 3rd generation” of fighters, meaning Russian-trained Ukrainians educate new Ukrainians. Separatist troops are trained on traditional weapons as well as state of the art Russian Army electronic warfare equipment, the invaders left-behind. This results in a well-trained enemy army.
However, over the past months, Russians have reduced logistic and military support in Donetsk and Luhansk. The DNR/LNR military and political leaderships are panicking about this and consider having their own offensive operations against Ukraine, fearing Russia might look for “diplomatic solutions” in which they might cease to exist.
Right now, separatist/Russian forces of the first and second army corps have 478 operational tanks, 848 APCs and 732 artillery pieces inside Ukraine. Approximately the same amount of equipment is located directly on the Russian side of the occupied territories and can be deployed to the territories within less than one day (with Russian soldiers operating most of the weapons systems).
What the Ukrainian army needs at the front – and hopes to receive from the US – is “night vision equipment, jamming systems, radio intelligence tools and secure communication systems, especially to operate UAVs”.
One quite bold argument why drones must be equipped with night vision and laser targeting equipment was, that Ukraine wants to see where it returns fire. “70% of their artillery and mortar positions are located in close proximity to civilian structures in urban areas. Most of the shelling occurs at night. If we return fire, we would like to see what we hit. This would reduce the risk of hitting civilians.” The officer said that Ukraine must strike back if the pro-Russian fire in violation of Minsk threatens the lives of their forces. They do this almost daily, “endangering our own civilians” (in the occupied areas). They want to change the situation, but need more foreign support to do so.
Also, separatists occasionally use entrenched BMP-1 some km from the front as “ballistic weapons”, using their main gun to shell the Ukrainian front “like mortars”. This tactic is used to avoid being spotted by OSCE monitors. It also only very seldomly causes damage or casualties.
The European Union, also Germany, deny Ukraine the military support they want, because the EU wants the Ukrainian army “to punch below its fighting weight”. It knows Putin is the aggressor but also has no full trust in Ukraine’s commitment to the Minsk agreement. It fears, nationalist forces could win the upper hand via democratic elections or within the military structure and launch a surprise offensive to regain what belongs to Ukraine in the east.
Some figures within the Ukrainian political and military sphere see this as the only chance as Minsk does not seem to return any square meter to its rightful owner. At the same time, the Ukrainian army feels – and is – much stronger than in 2014 and could throw its weight into the battle to see if it can recapture entire Donbas. However no one thinks that Poroshenko would order such an attack as another defeat would mean the end of his political career. To make sure, nobody in the Ukrainian leadership does, the EU wants Ukraine to remain under-equipped to a certain degree. Also it is afraid that IF Ukraine’s army became a proper opponent to what Russia can send it at any moment, the conflict could spiral out of control.
The Ukrainian army position on the diplomatic initiative is: “Russia suffers under the sanctions, keeping them in place is the only way to eventually solve the conflict due to negotiations”. Some experts think that this implies, lifting the sanctions against Russia could make the Ukrainian government and army turn to “Plan B” as mentioned above.
Asked about OSCE observations that the Ukrainian army sometimes advances into the grey area, officers made it clear that they regard the – signed also by Russia! – September 19, 2014 contact line as the real one, according to Minsk. This means the army sees advances into the grey zone “to supply our citizens in it” and possibly take new positions as its full right.
The grey zone, meaning points behind what Ukraine holds now but what it regards as on its side of the September 19, 2014 contact lin,e reaches “between 200 meters and 7 kilometres” into not-held territory, sometimes held by separatists, sometimes held by nobody. Thus, it includes “hundreds of settlements” which Ukraine regards as under its protection according to the first Minsk agreement. The army denies that entering these areas violates Minsk and left open, whether it could install permanent positions inside this area. For now, only temporary advances are on the agenda.
Russian-speaking people could turn to Russia, fleeing to it or even rise up in the eastern and southern regions, trying to make those areas part of Russia. By the way: All experts agree that Russia is not better off economically, just more successfully creating that image with its propaganda, also received among many “neutral” Ukrainians.
Because of all this, economic experts assume that Ukraine is “too big to fail” and must be economically secured at any price. So the fight against the economic downturn is closely connected to the fight against Russia’s hybrid war on the country and the fight against corruption.
Against the backdrop of an – again – escalating war in Eastern Ukraine, it was revealed today that Russia extended its “support for the rebels” or rather: supply of its troops by a further mean, namely by a direct train connection from Russia into occupied Donbas.
Given the fact that the Russian invasion command did everything to conquer the important railway knot of Debaltseve and seeing a steady escalation in Russian-led violence in Eastern Ukraine over the last weeks, the assumption that full-scale hostilities will resume until summer seems rather obvious. Thus, it is no surprise that the Russian army needs to create a strong and steady supply line to its forces in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Rumors that such line was established popped up here and there over the last 2 months, however, solid evidence was missing so far.
This changed today, when the Ukrainian Twitter user “Lenz Gottfried” uploaded a picture of two Russian “hybrid” troops, hugging at an undosclosed train station in front of what seemed to be a (state-owned) Russian Railways cargo train, packed with ammunition boxes.
According to the uploader of the picture, the boxes contain ammunition for the «Акации» / 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled artillery, however this type of artillery system is not known to have been deployed by Russian forces so far. While this description might be a (rather unimportant) mistake given the clearly military cargo inside the wagons, the exact geolocation of the picture inside Ukraine was crucial to verify the claim that the scene played inside Ukraine. This process needed no less than 2 hours, in which I matched more than 50 train stations inside occupied Donbas with the picture, searching for a facility with the properties and objects that can be seen in it. Finally, I found the right one and was able to confirm that despite the small ammunition type error, the scene indeed shows what it claims, namely a direct Russian army supply line into Ukraine’s Luhansk region via railway, more precisely the town of Sukhodil’s‘k, around 10 km from the border with Russia. The below picture shows the analytical chart that verifies the location as well as the way, the train probably took to get there.
As it can be seen in the chart above, the train likely entered via the Russian-occupied Izvaryne border crossing, which (despite claims to have done so) the Ukrainian army was never able to reach since the start of the invasion in April last year. Thus, it served as a safe passage for Russian troops and equipment, crossing it in vehicles as well as the notorious “humanitarian aid convoys”, since then. However its use for the illegal entry (aka invasion) of Russian army-organized and -stuffed trains hasn’t been proven so far. This changed today.
The emergence of the train in Sukhodil’s’k, 18 kilometers of tracks into Ukraine, is – for sure – only the tip of the iceberg. At this very location, no Russian arms are needed right now and the town only serves as a transit point for that kind of carriage. Instead the tracks, lead towards the front near Stanytsia Luhanska in the north and practically endlessly towards the west, where fighting increased over the last 4 weeks. More such deadly cargo, transported by train, should and will be found along these axes, then however, probably not in Russian Railways wagons anymore.
Finally, the first appearance of Russian state trains, filled with ammunition, inside Ukraine, is another stark reminder that this conflict is far from over. Instead the Russian side takes a – well-documented – deep breath to come back with all its “hybrid” force and take more territory inside Ukraine; probably before this summer. The usage of Russian trains to facilitate that carefully and long-planned move is just another logical step in Russia’s escalation ladder and thanks to the “media friendly” invasion troops, its revelation was just a question of time.
Eight days after the fall of Debaltseve (article), many analysts still believe, the worst in terms of fighting might be over in eastern Ukraine and Russia’s thirst for more territory appeased. Fighting activity continuously decreased during the last days along the border of occupied Donbas and yesterday was the first day of no Ukrainian fatalities since the signing of the Minsk 2 agreement on February 12. Still, this impression deceives.
The prediction, I stated in my last article, that large parts of the offensive Russian forces which were active in and around Debaltseve moved south after their victory there and will soon turn up in the greater Donetsk area as well as near the southern coastal city of Mariupol was meanwhile confirmed by multiple analysts, including several sources on the ground in southern Donetsk region. However, what seems not to have been realized by analysts and international media organizations yet is that the question, whether or not an attack towards Mariupol will take place or not has already been answered. It started the moment, Debaltseve fell to the invasion army.
In early February, Ukrainian national guard forces from Regiment Azov were not willing to obey the suicidal “defense only” strategy by the military and political leadership in Kiev and decided to go on the attack (article), amid a weak Russian / local separatists-held frontline east of the city (as most forces were active around Debaltseve). Within 2 days, they recaptured around 120 km² of Ukrainian land and established new fortified positions in a number of towns, some 10-15 east of Mariupol.The below (professional) map gives a good impression of what could be regained and put back under Urainian control during this offensive.
But the joy was only brief. 5 days later, on February 16, Russian forces started massive attacks on the front, pushing Azov troops out of Shyrokyne and to the town’s eastern outskirts (geolocated) in a first stage of their counterattack. Several days of relative calm followed, but on February 23, their offensive gained pace again, using all kind of weapons – of course – forbidden in the Minsk 2 agreement – and even Russian air force surveillance planes over the occupied territory. The below detailed map shows what was used where and what the initial situation in terms of territorial possession at that time was.
Due to the (anti!-)Ukrainian strategy of adhering to the Minsk 1+2 agreements, defending Azov troops could only fight back with small arms and mortars, by far not strong enough to resist the fresh Russian push, executed by forces coming from central Donbas via Telmanove as well as via Novoazovsk and thus directly from Russian army and invasion bases across the border (article). Reports from the Information Resistance group say up to 600 invasion forces stand ready to take part in the offensive as well as dozens of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, not to speak of heavy artillery and MLRS systems.
As a logic consequence of the uneven (allowance to use) force, Ukrainian troops initially had to withdraw from Kominternove and shortly after from Pavlopil and its tiny suburb Pyshchevyk, meaning a loss of some 70% of the territory, Regiment Azov liberated earlier this month. Not even today, as the Ukrainian ministry of internal affairs report the use of Russian army T-72 tanks to attack Regiment Azov positions near Shyrokyne, the Ukrainian army command would give its troops the needed artillery cover. The below map shows the situation as it appears according to all available reports on February 25.
Last but not least, many people keep asking if Russian forces will attack Mariupol itself and capture it in another step to build a land corridor to (also-)occupied Crimea. There should be doubt about that for the coming weeks at least. While some analysts believe, the Russian army and local separatists might directly attack or bypass and encircle the town, the cost for that move might be massive and possibly too high for both sides, especially taking into account that – different from Debaltseve – here both sides will have a steady streeam of resupplies and reinforcements until cutting the opponent’s supply lines with extreme force. Thus, the more likely scenario in the short term is that Russian forces will try to get back into the comfortable situation of controlling all smaller settlements east of Mariupol, being able to attack military and civilians targets in and around the town like it was the case between September last year and January 2015. Doing this, they would be able to inflict constant smaller casualties on the fixed Ukrainian line of defense, keeping the conflict boiling on a low but steady flame. At the same time, it would enable them to raise the stakes (attack Mariupol itself) whenever their supreme command in Moscow feels to do so, without having to move larger contingents of men and material (more than 5 kilometers).
Finally what we might see during the next weeks and probably months will rather be an offensive towards and not on Mariupol. However, this offensive is already happening as we speak, kept dead quiet by both, the Russian and the Ukrainian government, but painfully felt by mostly volunteer Ukrainian defenders on the ground as well as civilians, coming back under Russian rule or – like so many others – being forces to flee to Mariupol itself or other safer regions in Ukraine. | 2019-04-18T20:17:23Z | https://conflictreport.info/category/ukraine/ |

Vantage Point… | CesarDPhoto.com ~ Finding Light in Every Dark Place.
This is a kind of techy post, really don’t like to much to do this, but always you are in the middle of a technicality, we are talking about vantage points, for many years millions of photographs are taken from the same vantage point, about 6 to 8 feet above ground, this is the regular height of a human body, varying your vantage point is very easy and effective to your photography, if you have the tools necessary for this you will have great results, even if you don’t, you can improvise, trust me it will work.
Changing your vantage point can be as simple as standing on top of something, or crouching down. Or it can involve using more elaborate methods to get you or your camera into a higher or lower position, such as shooting from the top of a ten story building, holding your camera very close to the ground or your subject, or mouning your camera on top of a ten foot pole and using a self timer. The possibilities are endless, and only limited by your imagination.
Well no more technicalities this isn’t the site for that, hope you have a great day! | 2019-04-22T03:10:13Z | http://cesardphoto.com/blog/2011/12/vantage-point/ |

The Lakers announced on Friday that Larry Nance, Jr. only sprained his wrist during Thursday’s game. This is obviously great news after it was reported that he could have suffered a fracture. Nance, Jr. is listed as day to day but he will not play in Friday’s consolation round game against the Jazz.
The Summer Lakers lost on Thursday night for the first time in Las Vegas. Despite a strong first half, the Lakers crumbled in the second half, especially on the defensive end. The Cavaliers used strong performances from Jordan McRae (36 points) and Kay Felder (20 points) to pull away with a 88-80 win.
In a way, this was a bit of a good thing for the Lakers. Now we get a look at some of the deficiencies that the team still has, instead of raising expectations based simply on summer league play.
The Lakers went back to their roots in the second half. Ball movement and player movement stopped almost entirely. More importantly, the Lakers struggled mightily on the defensive end.
Some of the defensive struggles were caused by the rotations. Whether it was to give more playing time to other players or for some other reason, coach Jesse Mermuys did not play Anthony Brown or Ivica Zubac much at all in the second half. An argument can be made that those two players are the Lakers’ best defenders.
Some of it was also simply great shooting by McRae and Felder who caught fire in the second half.
Offensively, some blame must be placed on D’Angelo Russell. The second year point guard started off well, hitting six of his nine shots in the first half.
In the second half, Russell struggled mightily, hitting only one of 11 shots. Part of that was simply missing a ton of jumpers. A lot of it, however, was due to forcing and rushing shots. More importantly, Russell struggled a bit in getting the ball moving and setting up the offense.
Overall, that’s fine. Russell’s been fantastic in Summer League and he’s still young. But it is important to note he has plenty to work on still.
Brandon Ingram, meanwhile, continued to play the right way despite not hitting shots, consistently. The rookie finished with 13 points on 2-7 shooting. Ingram made correct decisions, throughout the game, however. Where he can look to improve is better balance on his closeouts as well as better focus on his boxouts.
The worst news of the night, however, is Larry Nance, Jr.’s injury. The power forward fell hard on a dunk attempt after a Cavs’ player drew a charge. (#BanTheCharge) Nance told Ivica Zubac that he had broken his wrist on the fall.
Preliminary testing says that Nance fractured his third metacarpal in his right hand although the Lakers will do further testing tomorrow. The injury has a timetable of anything between 4-8 weeks. Fortunately, that will allow Nance to get back in time for training camp. It is unfortunate, however, that Nance (who has played incredibly well this summer league) will miss some development time.
The Lakers will return to action on Friday against the Utah Jazz in the Consolation Round. That will be the final game for the Summer Lakers until the preseason. | 2019-04-23T02:25:09Z | https://lakersoutsiders.com/2016/07/14/recap-lakers-fall-to-cavs-in-summer-league-as-nance-injures-wrist/ |
Autism-Products.com proudly introduces the Learning The Sentence Zone Card Game!
The Sentence Zone card game builds grammar and improves sentence writing. Players use 620 color-coded common word cards to build and understand sentences. The game features six levels of play from Subject + Verb to complex sentences. With 2-6 players and six levels of play, your kids are bound to have fun. Included are word cards and a game strip. Grades 1+.
The Sentence Zone card game is a fantastic tool for teachers, tutors and homeschooling parents. Yes, it is expensive, but if you are a creative, intuitive teacher, this is a phenomenal tool. The game is overpriced if you are only going to use it as a simple game as shown in the directions, although it is a fantastic game in and of itself. However, if you are creative, you can achieve fabulous results. For example, if you are teaching a grammar lesson on simple past, present, and future tenses along with past and present participle tenses, you might make a rule that each sentence that day needs to contain a participle form of the verb. Now you have turned it into a hands-on, multisensory way to teach Grammar. For Writing, have the student build his/her sentence using the game, then ask him/her to choose a subordinating conjunction and rebuild the sentence beginning with an introductory clause. Kinesthetic input makes all the difference. | 2019-04-26T04:13:03Z | https://www.autism-products.com/product/learning-the-sentence-zone-card-game/ |
If you plan on rolling back the Skaven hordes in Warhammer: Vermintide 2, your team of rat slayers will need the best possible equipment, with plenty of awesome traits and bonus properties.
To get better loot at the end of the level, you want to find all the hidden tomes and grimoires in each area, although this comes at a cost since these items occupy potion slots. Below we cover every single Vermintide 2 secret tome location in the game.
Keep in mind that these tome locations are based off the closed beta just before official release -- the locations may change at the Vermintide 2 full release date! If you see anything incorrect, be sure to let us know, and we'll get the locations updated. Looking for the Vermintide 2 weapon and equipment traits instead? We've got 'em all listed right over here.
This first level of the game only features three tomes, but all are easy to find due to the structured street layout and large landmarks.
During the "Find A Way To The Temple" objective, you will walk by a giant flaming cart. Hang a left at the cart and walk down the alley to see a regular old non-flaming cart. Jump up the open back end of the cart to nab your very first tome.
During the "Get Past The Gate" objective, you will walk up wood walkways inside a tower. After walking up a short ramp, move to the edge of the walkway in the corner to look down and see the second tome slightly below you on a platform.
During the "Enter The Temple" objective, you will come across an open area with some stone landmarks and a bunch of bushes. You need to actually walk into the bushes and through them to a hidden area. The tome is in the back corner next the wall.
This one's a bit tough because there aren't a ton of landmarks to follow out in the forest until you hit the ruins, but you can find the grimoires and tomes by checking specific areas when the map objectives change.
When you pass through Howling Creek and the objective becomes "Proceed Through The Wilds," drop down the ledge and follow the wall on the left until you see a large tree and a cliff section above. The grimoire is up on a ledge that you have to jump to reach.
The second grimoire can be found during the "Find The Source Of The Disturbance" objective when exploring the elven ruins. You need to push three objects labeled as Suspicious Bricks that are located around the area near your feet in out-of-the-way locations. After pressing the third brick, head down the stairs to access a new underground location with the grimoire.
After grabbing the first grimoire (during the "Proceed Through The Wilds" objective), head across the map, traveling through a hollowed-out log, until you see two large trees flanking a broken box on the ground. The tome is inside the box.
When you get the first tome in the box, head south towards the map checkpoint. On your right, before dropping down to the lower area, is another tome inside a box.
After grabbing the secret second grimoire from the underground area (see above), head up a ramp of broken brick nearby and then turn right. Walk past the hanging vines and jump up on the rocks to find the third and final tome for this level.
The tomes in this farm-focused level are all cleverly hidden in inconspicuous locations, so you'll need to look around quite a bit to find them all!
After grabbing the first tome (see below), you will reach an area where you can go inside a home with a bunch of barrels that can be picked up. Head down into the basement with a barrel, and stack it in front of the closed-off area. Blow up the barrel to access a new hallway, then go up the ladder and out the back to find the first grimoire sitting on a barrel.
Shortly after the first grimoire during the "Unlock And Go Through The Barn" objective, there's an area where you can go up two ladders and onto a wood structure. After the second ladder, turn right and jump across the ledges to reach the tower. Keep jumping up the ledges on the side of the tower to find the second grimoire.
When you come across the first farm during the "Reach The Orchard" objective, you need to jump on a hay bale to walk along a fence (that doesn't seem like you can walk on) and then use that position to jump on the wood awning. Facing the roof -- a cart will be visible off to your right -- look for a small hole in the roof to grab the tome.
Inside the barn, look for a large, open window on the back side where you can jump down onto a barely visible platform to grab this tome. If you have trouble landing it, you can also go down to the ground level and jump up on the hay bales to grab the tome, even though it's blocked by the wood platform.
After the barn and during the "Reach The Farm" objective, you can jump down into a river on your left. Follow that river to find the third tome in a box.
Most of these grimoires and tomes are simple to find, but a few require some odd jumping puzzle skills to actually reach.
Shortly after the first tome (see below), you can go inside a dilapidated building and look out the side window to see the grimoire sitting next to a barrel. Shoot the barrel to blow up a secret passage entrance, then run around the side of the house to grab the grimoire.
After grabbing the second tome, eventually you will see the giant manor on your right. Go down the left to see another building on your right, and the grimoire will be visible up in the air on a ledge. Getting there is a challenge. Across from the building, jump up onto a cart, and then from there, leap from ledge to ledge across to the main building to finally get the grimoire.
After dropping down a ledge in the "Reach The Baron's Manor" objective, you will see a chaos symbol (the seven-pointed star) jutting out of the ground. Turn right and jump up on the broken bricks and then over the wood railing to find the first tome.
When you go through the wine cellar, you can exit up a ramp to your right or turn left and go down a hallway. Take the left and jump up to see through a hole in the wall on your right, where this tome sits next to a skeleton.
At the end of the level during the "Escape From Ussingen" objective, you will enter a burning building and go up a ramp. You can go forward to jump through the giant hole in the wall, but don't. Instead, turn around just at the edge and you will see directly to your right another section of the building you can jump in that wasn't visible before. Go inside and then jump down the hole to find the final tome of this level on the ground behind some boxes.
Here you finally enter an underground map to face the warrens of the evil rat men directly. You'll need to sharpen your jumping skills once again to grab these tomes.
During the early part of the level, travel down to the bottom floor and grab the ring of keys off the skeleton next to a rock pillar. Later, after grabbing the first tome (see below), you will exit the regular cave area and come across a more open section with some foliage and water. Turn right and jump down to see a locked chest on a ledge. Use the key to open the chest and grab the grimoire.
This one is pretty annoying to find. After the second tome (see below) and during the "Follow Nurgle Trail" objective, you will be walking up a wood ramp. Halfway up the ramp, look over the right side to find a tiny ledge you can jump down to. Walk on the ledge, then turn around and jump down into the stream. Follow this cave area to find another chest with the second grimoire.
After grabbing the key (but before reaching the first grimoire), you will come across a wooden rope bridge. Instead of crossing, turn right just before the bridge and go up a ladder. Turn left and jump across the chasm to the other side, where you can find the grimoire. The jump is pretty difficult, and you'll probably have to do this more than once.
After the first grimoire, you will walk across a rickety wooden bridge where you can either turn right or left. Turn right and jump down to a ledge, and then turn left to see the tome on the ground.
During the "Locate Old Ruins" objective, you will see a stone overpass. Instead of going through it, jump up the wood ramp to the left. Go forward and jump across the broken stone ledges to the other side, then turn right to find the third tome on the ground near a tree.
This swamp level doesn't offer much challenge in finding the various collectibles, with the exception of the last grimoire, which requires finding a bunch of candles that aren't easily visible.
After the first tome (see below), you will walk up a stone ramp where you can turn right. Next to a destroyed house you will see a series of wood posts. Jump up on the posts, then turn right and jump into the house. Go down the ledge to reach a lower area where you can grab the first grimoire underneath some broken boards.
After the third tome (see below) and during the "Find The Rotblood Camp" objective, you will drop down some rocks into a swampy area. You need to look for three candles hidden in rock alcoves and interact with them to make the grimoire appear. These are scattered all across the map and are on the ground in areas that you usually have to turn at an odd angle to see. Head towards the center of the map after lighting the third candle, and the second grimoire will appear on a rock pedestal in a watery area.
During the "Head Into The Swamp" objective, jump down into the broken swamp house and look to your left to see this tome clearly sitting up on a shelf.
When you exit the village into the swamp, immediately turn left to see a submerged building. The tome is clearly visible at the back of the watery building.
After the second tome, you will walk by another chaos symbol. Off to your right, the tome is clearly on a small wood shelf sticking out of the water.

Game geek? Then you’d definitely know NocticLucis Caelum. The way he dresses is what makes him stand out from the crowd of the action characters, apart from his personality. His leather knee-long black coat adds to his majesty. Unlike most price he doesn’t wear garish clothes but this out of the bounds beautifully designed coat. NoctisLucis Leather Coat’s built is fine and firm. The inner viscose lining of this Final Fantasy Cosplay costume is a comfort surer and what could be better than having a price’s costume. Indeed, whoever would wear it, he would look unreasonably handsome and like a prince.
Collar style: Standing way up.

I read an article about writing yesterday. It contained information about how to succeed in one particular genre. It included quotes and tips from some established experts, and outlined all the things you need to succeed (establish a website, keep writing, keep submitting work to magazines and so on) and how to hone your craft. It then went on to say how to maintain a good relationship with your first client. OK. What NOW?
Did you notice what was missing? Nowhere in the article does it tell you how to acquire your first client – and that’s the most difficult bit! Advice like create a website, keep submitting, be cordial but professional: all that is sound advice, but it’s generic. If I want to write newspaper ads, I know I have to build up a portfolio of work, I know I need to establish my expertise and publicise myself. But how do I actually get that first client? How do I pick up that very first commission? Is there a website of newspapers looking for ad writers? Is there an agency for newbies in the field? Where do I start?
Some years ago I came across a great cartoon depicting exactly this situation.
Me: What happens when something goes wrong with a laptop?
Teacher: We report it, and a technician fixes it.
Me: Yes, but what do you do?
Me: Yes, but how do you report it?
Teacher: We fill out a report.
Teacher: We fill in a form.
Teacher: The technical fault report form.
OK, I’ve exaggerated slightly for effect – but actually only slightly: I found that getting the information I needed about the process was like getting blood from a stone. The reason isn’t hard to see: the people who use the process every day either no longer notice all the details or assume that everyone knows how it works. But the detail was important because it was often the case that a problem arose because there was a step missing somewhere.
What is the person listening to you or reading your words actually supposed to do?
Do the teachers you’ve told to borrow a digital camera know how to do so?
Do your colleagues in your team meeting know how to get to the grades data you’ve set up in the Learning Platform?
Do your students know where to email their homework?
Put yourself in their shoes. Would you know what to do if you were listening to you?

Victims of truck accidents typically suffer tremendous injury, due to the sheer size, weight and force of a truck and the resultant damage it can do. Trucks may also carry hazardous or poorly secured loads which can result in exposure to hazardous/toxic materials or vehicle crush. A truck can jackknife and prevent the car involved from escaping its path even after the first impact. If you or a loved one has been injured by an accident involving a truck, don't wait to contact a Hartford personal injury lawyer. Truck accidents have their own unique factors which will affect the way your case is investigated, your claim compiled and your case fought.
Being represented by legal counsel with a thorough understanding of the trucking industry, its operations and regulations, is vital to achieving a solid case. A skilled attorney can investigate not only the vehicles involved, the scene of the accident and any witnesses, but can also arrange access to vitally important trucking company records. These may include maintenance logs, scheduling histories and employee records. This helps to determine the cause of the accident and the liable party and collect evidence to strengthen your claim.
At Cicchiello & Cicchiello, we have no qualms about going head to head with the large insurance companies that back trucking companies. Our legal team works tirelessly to build a compelling case and hold the negligent party accountable. The driver, trucking company or even an auto parts manufacturer may be the appropriate party to sue, based on the underlying cause of the accident.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a collision with a truck, contact a Hartford personal injury lawyer today. | 2019-04-18T19:18:16Z | https://www.cicchiellolaw.com/personal-injury/truck-accidents/ |

The concept of “gerrymandering,” which is the manipulation of district boundaries to favor a particular political party, is not new. The term was first used by the Boston Gazette in 1812 when a Massachusetts state legislative district drawn by then-Governor Elbridge Gerry was said to look like a salamander. In recent years, the partisan redistricting of legislative maps has become a high-profile issue, with legal challenges arising in a number of states. This past election, voters took action to try and curb gerrymandering, with three states voting to take the power of redistricting out of the hands of their state legislators.
Congressman McNerney has long been a staunch advocate for evidence-based policy making and good government reforms. As the co-founder and co-chair of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Caucus, he has introduced legislation to amend the constitution to eliminate political action committees and ban dark money in politics. | 2019-04-19T14:20:27Z | https://eastcountytoday.net/rep-mcnerney-introduces-legislation-to-combat-partisan-gerrymandering-2/ |
