The first member of the teaching staff of the School of Mines Ballarat (SMB) was Joseph Flude. According to the first Minute Book, he offered his services as lecturer in Metallurgy "gratuitously" to the new School, on the 17th November, 1870. Commencing in January 1871 he lectured in chemistry and metallurgy in the evenings. Flude was appointed as Superintendent of Laboratories at the stipend of 100 pounds per annum. He also received all fees for assays and analysis with the use of the SMB laboratories and an office. He was a member of the SMB Council from 1871-1882. A popular lecturer he became one of SMB's Life Governors. Flude had been an assayer for the National Bank but by 1880 was fully employed by SMB.
1881 In the 1881 report it states that 'the ill-health of Mr Flude caused that gentleman to sever his connection with the school suddenly, at the beginning of the July term'.
During his early years with the SMB, Flude presented a series of free public lectures on various chemistry topics including "Carbon", "The Chemistry of the Atmosphere" and "Iron". These lectures were popular and well attended. He must have caused quite a stir in this provincial town when he was invited to teach Chemistry to the young ladies of the Ballarat Girls' College, Queens, at the invitation of progressive Headmistress Matilda Dixie: "Matilda was able to arrange Chemistry lessons for her senior girls, who even performed experiments."
Flude was noted for his early gold smelting analyses and assays. In 1875 with mine manager, Robert Malachy Serjeant, he patented an apparatus for roasting pyrites. It was called 'The Ballarat School of Mines Self-acting Pyrites Furnace'. Flude and Serjeant subsequently signed the patent over to SMB in 1877. This novel furnace was the forerunner of the furnaces of the Band and Albion Consols mine and later Edward's famous pyrites works in the White Horse Ranges, Ballarat. SMB failed to raise funds for a large furnace of its own but its reputation brought requests from all over the country for graduates skilled in treating refractory ores.
The document demonstrates the generosity of Flude and Serjeant in donating the patent taken out in 1875 to SMB in 1877. It states: " Indenture between Robert Malachy Serjeant, Mining Manager, and Joseph Flude, Metallurgist ... whereas by Letters Patent under the Seal of the Colony of Victoria dated the fourth day of March one thousand eight hundred and seventy five especial license, full power sole privilege and authority was granted to the said Assignors their executors administrators and assigns for the term of fourteen years from the date of such Letters Patent subject to the provisions and conditions avoiding such Letters."
Joseph Flude was born in 1825 at Keyham near Leicester, England. He married Priscilla Brown on 18 January, 1853 and their marriage certificate gives his occupation as bricklayer. It was probably this skill that brought him to Sydney as a Sapper for the construction of the Royal Mint, arriving on the 14th March, 1854. Joseph and Priscilla remained in Sydney around nine years and with their family moved to Chewton, Victoria around 1864. By 1866 Flude was a member of the Congregational Church in Sturt Street, Ballarat. He assisted in the construction of this Ballarat church. His first wife Priscilla died in 1888 and he married Sarah Stoddard. His direct association with the SMB ceased in 1881 when resigned on the grounds of ill health. Tragically on 3 March 1892, aged 67 years, he committed suicide by drowning in Lake Wendouree. He is buried in the Ballaarat Old Cemetery. | 2019-04-19T20:55:39Z | https://federation.edu.au/about-us/our-university/history/geoffrey-blainey-research-centre/honour-roll/f/joseph-flude-1825-1892 |

ThermiTight is a non-surgical, minimally-invasive skin tightening procedure. During this procedure, a tiny probe is inserted into the deeper layers of the skin, delivering radiofrequency energy directly to the dermis and subdermis.
This gentle, controlled heating can reverse the signs of aging by stimulating new collagen production, in turn lifting, tightening, and smoothing the skin of the neck (as well as the body) in as little as one treatment. Treatments generally take around one hour to complete, and most patients are able to return to work the next day. Many patients will see an improvement almost immediately, but it may take 3-6 months to see the full results of this treatment. | 2019-04-25T06:56:49Z | https://goldskincare.com/thermitight/ |
Opponents argue that the “Blue Lives Matter” bills and other proposals are election-season messaging that ignore policing issues underscored by incidents in Ferguson, Mo., North Charleston, S.C., Staten Island, N.Y., Chicago and San Francisco.
“It’s an issue that’s growing in importance – and you can’t rule out that it will become an issue in the presidential campaign and several Senate races,” said G. Terry Madonna, director for the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Pennsylvania’s Franklin & Marshall College.
Polls show it’s an issue that has political potential: 58 percent of Americans believe that there’s a war on cops in America, according to a September 2015 Rasmussen poll, and 60 percent say critical comments by some politicians make it more dangerous for police officers to do their jobs.
Many jurisdictions already have enhanced penalties or aggravated offenses specifically for offenses against law enforcement.
Americans are concerned, despite the fact that the number of police deaths in the line of duty is declining.
There have been a few highly publicized attacks on police. In December 2014, for example, two New York City police officers were fatally shot execution-style as they sat in their patrol car. The gunman, who took his own life, posted on social media that he was going to shoot officers to avenge the police-involved deaths of two African-American men earlier in the year.
But FBI statistics released this month showed that 41 police officers in the United States and Puerto Rico were intentionally killed in the line of duty by suspects in 2015 – 10 fewer than 2014 and the second-lowest total in 12 years.
Still, Pennsylvania’s Sen. Pat Toomey, one of a half-dozen vulnerable Republican Senate incumbents, has a YouTube ad touting his so-called “Thin Blue Line” act, a bill that would expand death penalty consideration factors if the defendant is proved to have specifically targeted a victim for being a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or public official.
Toomey’s bill has 23 Senate Republican co-sponsors, including five who are in tough re-election fights: John McCain of Arizona, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Rob Portman of Ohio, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.
A similar “Thin Blue Line” act was introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., who is running for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, when he was still in the presidential race, accused Black Lives Matter activists of calling for the killing of police officers.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has embraced the concerns about policing in minority communities raised by Black Lives Matter and other civil rights and civil liberties groups.
Clinton has campaigned in several primary states with the “Mothers of the Movement” – women whose children died by gun violence or in encounters with police.
The “Blue Lives Matter” efforts do have some Democratic support.
Law enforcement organizations also support the legislative efforts, arguing they will send a message and make suspects think twice before targeting officers and first-responders.
“It sends a message to the community … that blue lives do matter, that assaults against police officers, law enforcement officers, and firefighters are assaults on the most basic, most fundamental level of government,” said William Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations.
Critics contend that so-called Blue Lives Matter and Thin Blue Line bills are redundant and that the message behind them is overtly political.
Besides, Johnson and others say, there are already tough penalties and enhanced death penalty considerations for killing law enforcement officers on the books in many states, including California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas and Texas.
Still, NAPO’s Johnson said the “Blue Lives Matter” movement and the bill it’s spawning are needed. He said that the FBI’s figures don’t accurately reflect what officers are encountering on the streets. He pointed to statistics by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and the Officer Down Memorial Page, which independently tracks law enforcement deaths. | 2019-04-19T22:47:08Z | https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/congress/article80058187.html |
With the exception of a brief position in silver that constituted less than 0.1% of 1% of Berkshire Hathaway’s overall assets, Warren Buffett has stayed far away from making purchases of outright commodities or collectibles during his fifty-one year stewardship of Berkshire Hathaway. Although a lot of people assume that Buffett came to his reluctance of collectible ownership rationally through historical studies of the collectibles markets, he actually learned this lesson through experience like the rest of us.
In 1959, Benjamin Graham was scheduled to speak at Beloit College about valuing individual common stock investments and bonds. Buffett wanted to see Graham speak in person, and so he called his friend Tom Knapp who worked at the Tweedy, Browne brokerage house that served as Graham’s broker. In fact, Knapp was the third partner, and back then it was called Tweedy, Browne & Knapp.
Buffett convinced Knapp to go with him, and on the drive from Nebraska to Wisconsin, Knapp suggested that the four-cent stamp “The 1954 Blue Eagle” was going to be taken out of circulation and would one day serve as a collector’s item. Buffett was convinced the $0.80 books of 1954 Blue Eagles could someday be worth tens of dollars each adjusted for inflation, paving the way for a possible 1,000% to 3,000% nominal gain which would create true investment gains of 700% to 2,500% after adjusting for the expected opportunity cost and inflation of waiting for the market to develop.
After they saw Graham speak at Beloit, Buffett and Knapp decided they would stop at post offices on the way back to Omaha and effectively corner the Northern and Midwestern market on the 1954 Blue Eagle stamp. The big haul came in Denver, where they purchased a 200,000 stamp supply for $8,000. That is the equivalent of about $55,000 in today’s dollars. In total, they bought almost 400,000 stamps for around $16,000, making a stamp investment somewhere around $100,000 in today’s dollars. This speaks to Buffett and Knapp’s investment in aggregate, rather than individually.
As the years went by, Buffett found himself encountering one teensy, tiny problem: the stamps never became a collector’s item! No one wanted 1954 Blue Eagle stamps in particular. They cornered the market, gave the stamps years to mature in value, and it never happened. Eventually, in 1982, Buffett sold the stamps at a 10% discount to a control mail dealer that acted as an arbitrageur for the industry. Knapp held on to his share of the 1954 Blue Eagle, ironically using four cent stamps as postage for the rest of his life.
Buffett was right to cut his losses in 1982–the stamps sell for $0.40 each today. But still, he sold his $8,000 investment in 1959 for $7,200 in 1982, which was truly a $4,000 loss when adjusting for inflation. To update the purchasing power equivalence to today’s terms, it would be like investing $50,000 in 2016 dollars to get what we currently understand as $25,000 in purchasing power–and waiting until 2039 to get it.
That loss from the stamp investment had an outsized influence on Warren Buffett’s approach to investing thereafter. You never hear about Warren Buffett paying art or ancient artifacts, even though Sotheby’s has facilitated a vibrant collectible’s trading market that has helped create a lot of wealth for those that accurately predicted America’s cultural trends regarding art.
Mark Twain said that once a cat sits on a hot stove, it will never again sit on either a hot stove or a cold stove. With the exception of a very small silver position that never constituted anything resembling a material portion of Berkshire Hathaway’s assets, Warren Buffett has returned to the arena of collectible investing after his 1954 Blue Eagle results from stamp speculation.
Stories like this remind me of the extraordinary advantage that productive assets have over non-productive assets. In the past, I compared gold against Coca-Cola stock. If you have 100 ounces of gold that you lock up in the bank vault, and visit it in fifty years, it will still only be 100 ounces of gold. There is nothing that “happened” to it. If you want it to be a successful investment, the only way you can make money on the deal is if the value of each ounce appreciates more.
With a productive business, you get a growth and cash-return kick that completely alters the equation. Sticking with 1959 as our reference point, if you bought 100 shares of KO stock and stuck the common stock certificate of ownership into a bank vault, you would have so much more today. Why? Because you benefited from four factors that are not present in the gold example. You benefitted from the fact that: (1) Coca-Cola increased the volume of products sold from 425 every single second in 1959 to 10,450 every second in 2016; (2) the price of a Coca-Cola soft drink increased at a rate that exceeded inflation by about 0.4% each year; (3) the company paid out consistent dividends between 1959 and 1963, and then raised the cash dividend payout to shareholders each year since then; (4) the company used retained earnings and borrowings to repurchase stock and boost the ownership claim of those original 100 shares.
These factors, in turn, drive the fifth factor commonality–an enterprise is going to be worth a lot more adjusted for inflation when it generates $9 billion in 2016 compared to generating $275 million in 1959.
The value of productive assets is even noticeable when the business is not growing profits rapidly like Coca-Cola. Take something GlaxoSmithKline, a British publicly traded firm that has not had a particularly strong decade. The price of the stock had done virtually nothing between 2005 and 2015. It hemmed and hawed between the $40s and $50s, hitting a high in the $60s and a low in the $30s over the course of the decade. No real capital appreciation to speak of. That is because the expiration of patents drove profits down from $8 billion to $5 billion as the managers couldn’t replace expiring cash cows with new sources of cash profits quickly enough.
But you know what? GlaxoSmithKline still returned over $20 in cash dividends to shareholders between 2005 and 2015. For holders of the American ADR, the dividend growth wasn’t straight up–there were years when the dividend shot up, stayed stagnant, and then declined, but the bottom-line is that shareholders have gotten to collect a lot of cash over the past ten years from the profits of this healthcare firm.
Despite its disappointment results from a profit growth and share price perspective, it is a very nice protector to receive $20 in income from a $45 share purchased in 2005. If you believe, as I do, that limiting the damage from bad deals can be just as important as maximizing the magnitude of gains from the good deals, then you can see why it is so attractive to remain within the realm of productive assets.
If someone reinvested GlaxoSmithKline stock from 2005 through 2015, even as the profits declined, the share count position would have turned every single share into 1.63 shares. The cash provided from the business used to grow the position more than offset the operating declines. If Glaxo traded at $45 per share in 2015, it really traded at $73.80 from the perspective of the 2005 investor because there are now 0.63 extra shares affecting the calculation. Adjusted for inflation, the value is $60.81 for a true purchasing power gain of $15 per share. As the business itself disappointed expectations by a good amount, you still built wealth. That is an attractive feature often seen in well-established productive assets.
I say this not to denigrate the collectible’s market. I know there are affluent people out there who have achieved crazy returns from buying art during a recession and then selling it during good times. In much the same way that there is a sharp difference between the quality of Coca-Cola and Alcoa, there is a big difference between buying a Picasso compared to buying a 1954 Blue Eagle.
But I still can’t imagine using art as a primary vehicle to build wealth unless that was your true specialized skill in life. And it should be worth noting that those who invest in art almost always have an antecedent investment in cash-generating assets that throw off the money that makes buying the art possible in the first place. I regard the inherent advantages of a productive cash-generating firm as a very, very strong presumption that should only be rebutted in extraordinary circumstances.

After earning four points and an Ivy title last weekend, the Red (13-6-6, 10-3-5 ECAC Hockey) looks to secure a bye in the first round of the playoffs this weekend. Cornell is hitting the road to face Clarkson (14-13-5, 8-7-3) on Friday at 7 p.m. and St. Lawrence (12-15-3, 8-9-1) at the same time on Saturday.
Cornell would need to be one of the top four teams in the ECAC in order to earn a bye. With only four games left in the season, the Red is only one point out of first place, where Union currently sits.
There are a variety of scenarios in which the Red would be able to clinch a first-round bye this weekend — the first of which is by claiming a win over Clarkson.
If Cornell loses on Friday, the team will have to beat St. Lawrence and Clarkson will have to either tie or lose to Colgate. According to Schafer, in preparation for this, the team has been working on the small things in practice this past week.
Clarkson is also trying to find a way to get one of those Top-4 coveted spots in the ECAC standings. Coming off a four-game losing streak in early January, the Golden Knights have gone 5-3-1 since Jan. 7. The Red will have to be wary of Clarkson sophomore center Ben Sexton. Not only does he lead his team in points per game, but he also scored two goals against Cornell in the Dec. 30 match up.
That game was the second of three matchups between the Red and the Golden Knights. In the first contest, the defenses prevailed, leaving the game in a 0-0 tie.
Saints’ sophomore left wing Greg Carey — who was named to the All-ECAC Hockey Preseason team — has been on the rise lately, racking up eight points in his last four games, thus earning himself the title of ECAC Player of the Week.
However, both the Golden Knights and the Saints have some Red players to look out for as well. Junior forward Greg Miller has scored five goals in the past five games, and senior forward Sean Collins has tied Miller for the team lead in goals — both have 11 so far.
Another important addition the Red will have this weekend is junior defenseman Braden Birch, who was returning from an injury last weekend.
According to Birch, the Red will look to take it slow this weekend in its quest for a top seed in the ECAC tournament. | 2019-04-23T14:37:13Z | https://cornellsun.com/2012/02/16/m-hockey-men-play-for-first-round-bye/ |

Novice Team (suitable for young players in the 5-7 year old range).
This team practices Saturday mornings at Williston rink in Easthampton with the Learn to Play program. You must register for the Learn to Play program and you will be placed on a Novice team by the association as spots become available.
The NVHA Novice team plays in the Novice division of the Greater Springfield League (GSL). The GSL follows the American Development Model or ADM, a nationwide model for successfully developing American hockey players. The ADM recommends that for younger players, the ice surface be divided into sections and multiple cross-ice games be played simultaneously. This results in a better experience for the players with more chances to handle the puck and it also substantially reduces the cost to each team. More information on the ADM can be found here.
The games in the Novice division of the GSL are played in a 3-on-3 cross-ice format using a smaller than normal goal and no goalies. Coaches are on the ice to help the kids. No score is kept in these games and the emphasis is on fun and participation.
Cost for the season is estimated to be $1150 and includes the tournament, hockey socks, use of an NVHA jersey for the season.
This team practices on two weeknights per week, with practices 50 minutes long, starting no later than 8:10pm.

Personally, I love the Ninjago character-cards! In fact, I sometimes write down a list of the cards I plan on getting, and try to figure out my best and srtongest character from that. Believe me; it’s not an easy task! You can go to the LEGO Ninjago website to see the all the cards to find the ones you like, although they are sometimes a bit late adding the newest releases.
Although most of the Ninjago character-cards (and battle-cards) are very well done, there are a few that stand out from all the rest. My personal favorites are Jay, Cole, Jay ZX, and Kendo Cole – at least from the ones I already have. Other awesome characters that I do not have include Chokun, Bytar, Jay NRG and Kai NRG – although unfortunately the NRG ninja have very poor SP (5 of their element and 4 of another); only 900 total! Currently Kai ZX is my best character, and the one I play with the most.
💡 TIP: it’s a good idea not to use a character if they can’t play Chill Charge or Flash’n’Burn – unless of course, you don’t have Chill Charge or Flash’n’Burn at all and don’t really have a choice.
Since I have Backup Plan card (reshuffle all your cards – and I take that to mean reshuffle Backup Plan as well), I use only my best battle cards – about 25. After all, unless your opponent has the Falcon Eye card (look at your opponent’s cards and discard the one you want) – you have a never-ending fund of cards. Fortunately, I only know two people with the Falcon Eye card – and one of them is me!
Some of the best cards are Total Recall (give up your character’s headgear, and trade all of your weapons with your opponent – even if they have three and you have one), Backup Plan, Sensei’s Red Card (cancel your opponent’s just played card), Deflection (give up your character’s headgear to cancel your opponent’s card and play it back against them), Recovery (retrieve your headgear/arm), and Falcon Eye. There are some other excellent cards (which I won’t explain) like Whip Attack, Boomerang, Bite Back, Recharge, Chill Charge, Crown of Lightning, Lazy Ninja, and most trap or scroll cards.
It certainly does – although I think chill charge might actually be better, since it’s not golden.
chill charge and flash’n’burn are great for use on NRG ninja – add 300 sp to the elements they don’t have any sp in. My fav spinner is Cole ZX’s. Btw i also own falcon eye.
Ninjago card for the win! I don’t care much for building sets but cards? You betcha! I have 32 battle cards, and a 8 character cards. Cole ZX is my favorite.
I was actually wrong – I have 77 cards total and 60 battle cards.
I have 9 caracter cards and 36 battel cards!
A pretty good variety. Going to get more snake spinners soon!
I have backup plan, but when you draw four new cards, do you also shuffle used cards?
I agree, Avalanche is a really good card, especially for the amount of SP. All the trap cards are good, but they usually ahve higher SP. And avalanche isn’t even golden!
Guess what, the weapons pack on amazon now costs $34.95! And that was last time i saw it! The price keeps on going up.
Something is wrong with my commenting. ↑?
Gateway Guardian – Scroll – Spin from opposite sides at same time through gate of two cards. If successful, reclaim weapon. 200 Ice.
In the lego may-june magazine it shows a pic of NRG cole and fangdam spinners!
But i was wondering, will the sets be realesed and show in the magazine in July?
Should it not come out in july because every two months there is a new magazine, so next magazine will show the summer sets?
It should – at least in theory. Most likely that’s the way it will work.
that’s almost exactly the same amount I have!

I dress myself. I cook. I work. I speak. I write. I drive.
I can juggle knives. I’ve scuba dived to feed sharks. I’ve built and destroyed things, typically at the same time.
I can walk. I can chew gum. I can combine the two.
Looking back on that list, it occurs to me to say that I’m more than competent. I am accomplished and I don’t care who knows it.
But I don’t know how bubble gum works. I get the chewing part; how people make a bubble with it is a mystery to me.
I know that admitting this will get me tips on how to do it. Whenever I’ve said that I can’t blow a bubble someone has said “I can teach you.” Every one of them has been wrong; well-intentioned, yet wrong.
After decades of attempts and instructions, I’ve never blown a bubble. Good, kind-hearted, patient people have tried. None has been able to teach me. Those who’ve spoken about their fool-proof methods have failed. Perhaps no one they’d taught before me was quite the fool I am.
Did you know there are people who have taught bubble gum blowing so much that they actually have a teaching method? There are. I’m not telling you this in tribute to their gift or their devotion to others. I’m telling you to give you some idea of how far I went in my now abandoned quest to learn the mysterious ways of bubble gum. I actually found people who have methods – that’s how far.
Maybe you have a successful bubble gum curriculum. If so, I know you’re reading this and thinking that you are The One. The One who can reach this unreachable student. You are not. I mean no disrespect by that. No one is that teacher.
Hubba Bubba, Bazooka, Bubblicious, the hard gum that comes in baseball cards. It doesn’t matter what kind of bubble gum you give me. I will chew it, I’ll try to blow a bubble and the result will be exactly the same as it was when I was ten years old. A rude noise will come out of my mouth. It could be worse; sometimes the gum shoots out of my mouth and across the room. The one thing that I’m certain won’t happen is a bubble.
My face is uncoordinated. There is nothing anyone can do about that. Thanks for your concern.
Today over on Long Awkward Pause, the team takes on another reader suggested topic. Today’s post is one topic, eight short answers. Stop by and read all about it.
Knowing that has really burst my bubble.
I can’t whistle so I feel your pain. Juggling knifes trumps bubble blowing any day of the week, and I’m not just sayin’ that to make you feel better.
I can’t whistle either! And lots of people have tried to teach me. I can blow bubbles, though.
I can whistle, but not the loud, cool, with-your-teeth whistle. Or drive a stick shift.
Hey, I can’t whistle either. At this rate I have to question whether I can feed myself.
I used not to be able to whistle, but somehow I did learn.
So Oma, there is hope that one day it will come to you! And you’ll have lots of time to practice during retirement….
Hey, it’s okay. It’s an obnoxious habit anyway, isn’t it? Right. I’ve never scuba dived to feed sharks. No, sir!
It is, and not really something that a man of my age needs in his repertoire. I’m not likely to be a third baseman; the baseball field is the only place I could see myself doing that.
You’re just chewing the wrong kind of gum. You need the one where it says “inflatable latex balloons” on the package.
Ahhhhh, the colorful yet flavorless pack!
Oh I get you I can do a lot of things you mentioned here but am yet to make a bubble of a bubble gum. I have seen little kids do it and it is so irritating. They say if you have never killed someone and/or blown a bubble of a bubble gum you will rot in lowest part of hell where they make you write lengthy articles.
Uh oh, I’m in trouble. I don’t want to hurt anyone and well, the other is impossible.
Did you pay these people? Did you find them on Angie’s List? This fascinates me.
I can’t roll my R’s. I don’t know why I feel compelled to share that. My self-confidence seemed fine before I did, though.
If you were Spanish, you’d have a speech impediment. You’re not Spanish. Look at all the money you’ve saved on speech therapy.
I can’t roll Rs either. You’re not alone!
Me neither. When’s the next club meeting?
I can blow bubbles, but I don’t think I’m doing it right because it involves sticking my tongue halfway out of my mouth and peeling gum over it with my teeth. …I think I’ve said too much.
That was one of the methods I was instructed in. Even if I were successful, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that.
I suggest you work on that rude sound. There could be a trend in it for you.
Oh I am gifted with the rude sound thing.
Being able to blow bubbles is a highly overrated skill. Chewing 15 pieces of Bazooka bubble gum and not choking is the land where the big boys and girls play. Anyway, who chews bubble gum anymore? And who writes those annoying cartoons in the packs? I wonder how much that person gets paid. Probably a buck a month. I feel guilty now. Must go find Bazooka and chew.
I can blow bubbles. I choose not to.
My heart hurts for you. I want to fix it for you, and I am sorry that I can’t. Hubba Bubba was always my go-to lesson gum. I am sorry that it let you down. You’re still okay in my book.
Can you knot a cherry stem with your tongue? Just wondering because I imagine it involves similar skill set. I’m always fascinated by people who can do that. I can barely knot a cherry stem with my fingers.
I am not a fan of gum, so can’t really relate to your bubble issues. Although I’m not very good at blowing up balloons which maybe is similar. Good thing I never became a clown. I also have never been able to touch my toes – hamstrings like tight rubber bands! Though perhaps that’s more common than I realize.
I can whistle, I can blow bubbles, but I can’t make that trilling sound with my tongue that is required for half the world’s languages. That’s why I decided to be born in America.
I can tie cherry stems with my tongue and blow bubbles. Both highly over-rated skills.
Hey, my daughter can do the same thing with the cherry stems! We have so much in common, Valentine.
Too much time on our hands when we were supposed to be studying. Me? I learned when I was bartending on Sundays.
Far to much time on my hands.
Feeding sharks can be dangerous, especially if it isn’t your intent to do so.
I can whistle AND blow bubbles, but not at the same time. In the overall scheme of things, neither is particularly useful or pretty, nor do they pay well.
I can blow bubbles with bubble gum. Actually, I am really good at it. Don’t worry I believe you…I wouldn’t be able to teach you. I know this because I can’t whistle and no matter who tries or how hard they try I can not whistle. Not if my life or someone I love’s life depended on it. You would think if I could master one the other would come naturally. So tell me…can you whistle? | 2019-04-19T15:23:41Z | https://blurts.wordpress.com/2013/08/16/i-cant-blow-a-bubble/ |

Love “I am a feeler” – me too! Also: this is the 3rd story of tooth/face injury ive heard this week! All the mamas of the victim have a major thing in common: guilt!!! Hang in there mama!
Thanks! Seriously, what is it with kids and bashing their faces on things??
It’s always the face with our kids as well. Most recently on the day before kindy photos, and the day before an international flight. Large, visible bruises, naturally. So not only did I feel like a terrible mother because my kid got hurt accidentally, plenty of people had the opportunity to see the evidence and speculate on the cause. SIGH.
We haven’t had a tooth injury so far though. You poor thing! I hope he’s okay!
Always before something important!! It’s like they know… maybe subconsciously they’re weighing the pros and cons of personal pain vs parents’ guilt and shame. Double sigh.
not punched by parents. Swear.
Yes! Or maybe put it on a t-shirt and get one in every size, since it appears we’ll be needing them. | 2019-04-25T16:38:03Z | https://motherhoodandalltherest.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/facial-injuries-the-unofficial-badge-of-the-bad-mother/ |
Albion striker Simon Cox has emerged as a a transfer target for Championship club Derby County.
Rams boss Nigel Clough is keeping close tabs on the 23-year-old and will consider a loan swoop if there is any encouragement from the Hawthorns.
Sources in the East Midlands confirmed today that the former Reading and Swindon man is on a list of forwards being watched by Clough, who is looking to strengthen his strikeforce.
The Pride Park chief is also keen on Scunthorpe's highly-rated Gary Hooper, Sheffield United's Billy Sharp and Everton's James Vaughan, who he signed on loan last season.
Albion would not consider selling Cox, who they signed from Swindon for an initial £1.5million a year ago.
But Clough would hope to persuade Baggies officials that an extended spell on loan with Derby and the promise of regular Championship football would represent a useful next phase in the player's development.
Cox is highly-rated at the Hawthorns and staff and coaches were hugely impressed with his positive attitude last season, despite several spells struggling for regular first-team football. and would not consider letting him leave at present.
But Albion are looking to bolster their own forward line over the summer and success in the transfer market for the Baggies could push Cox further down the pecking order, which could open the door for a possible loan move.
The player is also keen to make his mark for the Baggies in the Premier League, having just bought a house close to the club's training ground and would be reluctant to move at present. But his attitude could change if he finds himself on the sidelines in the opening weeks of next season.
But the Baggies will not be pursuing an interest in former Tottenham and West Ham defender Calum Davenport.
The 27-year-old has been working at the Baggies training ground on his rehabilitation from injuries suffered in an alleged domestic incident that is the subject of a pending court case.
But, having signed former Spain international Pablo Ibanez from Atletico Madrid, Albion will not be taking their interest further. | 2019-04-23T19:00:04Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/2010/06/08/albion-braced-for-simon-cox-interest/ |

I hope that you don’t feel guilty if you’ve canceled your Christmas-Day services. We’ve canceled ours too.
I have the deepest respect and admiration for Kevin DeYoung, have read much of what he has written, and have been shaped by his public ministry. But, I feel the need to respond to his latest TGC blog pleading with pastors to not cancel their church services on Christmas Day.
The reason for this is not because this is one of the biggest theological issues of our day, but because the tone and assumptions of Kevin’s post demonstrate a common issue I continue to notice. Those with public platforms in our evangelical circles can tend to overstate their opinions on issues of conscience and in so doing, shame faithful, loving pastors who disagree with them and undermine their leadership of their local church by communicating publicly to their congregants that their pastor has made a bad decision.
There are many good reasons to hold a church service on Christmas morning when it falls on a Sunday. There are also many good reasons to not hold a church service on Christmas morning when it falls on a Sunday. But it is a gross overstatement to “plead” with pastors that they do one or the other.
We should plead with pastors to preach the Word. We should plead with pastors to shepherd their flocks lovingly and graciously. We should plead with pastors to be theologians. We should plead with pastors to love Christ above all else. It cheapens our pleading to plead pastors to do something as biblically debatable as not canceling services on Christmas morning.
Because this gray area was stated as such a stark black and white by Kevin, let me give you a few thoughts on his points and why we (as a 500-person, urban church) will not be holding services Christmas day.
Christmas-Eve will facilitate a church-family gathering for our people who are in town, Christmas-morning would not. In a transient, urban setting the majority of people in our church will be traveling out of the area (even if just to the suburbs) for Christmas. Christmas-eve provides the best logistical opportunity for as many of them as possible to gather together. Repeating that gathering 12 hours later only demotivates their attendance even more, when many would just pick one or the other to attend.
Visitors in our city will not be looking for a place to worship. Of all of my non-Christian and nominally Christian friends, I do not know of one of them who will be looking for somewhere to worship Christmas morning. Those that will be looking for somewhere to worship will be looking for it Christmas-eve. The vast majority of them wouldn’t attend a Christmas morning service even if I invited them. However, they would definitely accept an invitation to come over to my house and celebrate instead. Visitors won’t be looking for a place of worship Christmas morning they will be looking for a place for community.
Church services are a gift, not a god. This is why we will be taking our family to gather together with the church on Christmas-eve and enjoying our family and friends on Christmas day. Gathering together in the form of a formal worship service every week is important! So is gathering together and teaching your kids how to redeem the culture’s Christmas traditions in light of the coming of the humble Savior. We rearrange our family schedule for corporate worship. And that is exactly what we will be doing Christmas-eve. It doesn’t prove anything to do so again 12-hours later, and may actually miss an opportunity to redeem Christmas traditions with your kids in a way that is not hurried or needlessly hectic.
It’s Christmas for crying out loud! As Kevin wrote, “It’s the day we celebrate the incarnation, the birth of the Messiah, the entrance into our world of the second Person of Trinity.” Don’t we want to make that the center of our celebrations and our homes? Why try to make things busier and more hectic when the focus ought to be on whatever draws our attention to the glory and person of Christ? I’m not sure how to do that best for every church family in every town/city, but I do know that there’s no “one size fits all” answer.
We should worship in all of our contexts. Repeating a service 12-hours apart may communicate to our congregation that the primary place for worship is the church building. We all know this is not true. Worship as the gathered community is important (as I’ve said), which is why it would be a travesty to cancel your weekend services all together. However, whether you hold them on Saturday night or Sunday morning (or both) is far less consequential. And giving our people space and the tools to facilitate worship in their homes is an important discipleship opportunity.
Probably the most discouraging line I read from Kevin was when he wrote: “let’s not kid ourselves to think that we can encourage everyone to have a meaningful, thoughtfully prepared do-it-yourself service at home.” I would imagine that this doesn’t accurately reflect his opinion of the people in his church family. I know it doesn’t in mine. We should have enough faith in the impact of our teaching, shepherding, and discipling throughout the year (as well as the power of the Holy Spirit) to trust that we don’t need to manage their celebration and worship both Saturday night and Sunday morning. We should also realize, for those in our church whose hearts break for their non-Christian family and friends that the most missionally-minded context for at least one of those celebrations will probably be their homes.
Of course, all of this is assuming that what we’re doing Saturday night is having an actual worship service, and not just a Christmas pageant or sing-along carol session. I agree with Kevin that corporate worship is important and that skipping a weekend dishonors our glorious Savior. I’m just not sure it’s “plead worthy” that we make sure that happens Sunday morning in addition to Saturday night.
And, pastor, whatever you decide to do this Christmas, I hope that you don’t’ feel guilty because of what others have decided to do. My prayer is that you would make a decision that would facilitate your church and your family celebrating and glorifying Christ the best. | 2019-04-22T22:34:56Z | http://cornerstonewestla.org/pulse/pastors-its-ok-to-cancel-christmas-sunday/ |
State Farm continues its “Backstory” campaign with a new commercial, promoting its home insurance policies.
The spot, titled “Remodel”, features a young couple who buy a ramshackle house and embark on a mission to remodel it, which implies living in quite difficult conditions for a while, being “forced” to wash their teeth with bottle water and take showers by emptying full buckets in their heads. They are shown at various stages of works, doing things together for the house, without forgetting important events for them, such as her birthday, and showing their affection and appreciation through simple, small acts of kindness.
“While other insurance companies just see a house, we see a home you’ve worked really hard for, so why not give it the protection it deserves?” – says the voiceover in the spot, which features also the couple’s baby girl, a cute toddler crawling on the hallway and sitting in a special swing for babies, on the house porch, while her parents are still busy with the renovation.
The song used in the ad is the popular song “A Bushel and a Peck” performed by Doris Day. | 2019-04-22T14:47:00Z | http://commercial-song.net/2017/06/state-farm-commercial-song-couple-renovating-house/ |

You might be surprised by the diversity of clients we support—from grandparents, to locals with guests in town, to traveling families enjoying a much needed vacation. When considering purchasing items for a short visit or lugging equipment across the country, it just makes sense to rent.
Families from all over the world flock to Colorado for winter and summer activities including world-class skiing/riding, hiking, biking, camping, and a whole host of outdoor fun. Traveling with young kids can be stressful enough without having to worry about hauling equipment through the airport and hoping you remembered to pack everything. MountainTot is here to relieve that stress – let us do the heavy lifting!
Every parent knows that traveling with young children requires more equipment than an infantry battalion. Trying to fit your personal items, luggage, skis, camping equipment, bikes, and whatever else you need for your tip into your car can be impossible…. that’s before you start thinking about what baby needs. Don’t damage your personal items and baby gear by cramming it into your car; order your equipment from MountainTot and have your baby equipment waiting for you when you arrive! More and more, people are choosing to rent their equipment and have it delivered and ready for their use upon their arrival.
The grandkids are coming for a visit, but where are they going to sleep or eat? We have a simple answer. Don’t buy new equipment that will only be used a few times. Kids grow up fast and you will end up buying new equipment every year. MountainTot to the rescue! Go online or give us a call and we will deliver your items right to your home. All set, and the grandkids will appreciate the comforts of home during their visit.
Having friends or relatives in town and need extra items? MountainTot can solve that problem in a jiff. Make the kids feel welcome and at home with the necessities and maybe some toys. | 2019-04-21T14:48:47Z | https://www.mountaintot.com/how-it-works/who-rents-from-us/ |

Australia clients are disadvantaged by the two- tier Medicare system. While, understandably, much concern has been expressed about the damage of this system to generalist psychologists and to the profession as a whole, consideration needs to be given to the destructive impact of the two-tier system on our clients.
Because non-clinical psychologists receive a lower rebate, they need to charge a top-up fee to clients to maintain income. This has a direct financial effect on the client and may work as a disincentive to clients to seek psychological assistance.
There are far fewer clinical psychologists than other registered psychologists. This means that clients may be influenced to choose from a smaller pool of psychologists who, based on the evidence, are no more skilled and have no better outcomes. Clients may need to travel further or experience other organisational inconveniences in being confined to clinical psychologists.
Inevitably the two-tier system creates the erroneous impression that clinical psychologists are superior practitioners, and that, perhaps, the trusted and long-term relationship the client has with a non-clinical psychologist is somehow less than adequate. This can cause doubt and confusion.
Essential to therapeutic progress is the trust and confidence Australian clients have in the treating psychologist. Any system that tends to create doubt and confusion in the minds of our clients also undermines therapeutic progress and satisfaction with psychological services. This is completely contrary to positive psychological practices.
Thank you, so true, very well said! | 2019-04-25T22:13:51Z | https://reformaps.org/member-reminds-us-of-our-obligations-to-our-clients/ |
The postcard has been a prized possession of my mother for decades, its date revealing that it is more than a hundred years old. The country lane depicted on the card entices, pulling you in to the lush foliage that lines the way. Along the bottom margin, my grandfather’s elaborate handwriting reveals his skill.
Maurice wrote the note on the card and dated it January 9, 1906, when he was just 21 years old. The postmark reveals it was mailed from Bangor, around the time when Maurice was first hired as a mail clerk on the railroad run from Bangor to Boston.
Interestingly, the card was mailed to Gertrude C. Skehan, a 25-year-old clerk in Augusta who would eventually marry Maurice’s older brother, Ambrose, in 1910. Skehan was also from Whitefield and a member of St. Denis’s Church, where the Reillys also worshipped. At age 22 she was listed as a teacher, and later records indicate she studied through the first year of high school.

Stage is a window into Jaime Hayons world. It evidences the relevance of how experimentation and artistic research have been the platform for the work of this creator. Perhaps a recepy for new creative development in the present, Hayon has found a language that steps aside the dividing borders between art and design. Jaime Hayon´s Stage is a journey of the artist/designers professional path. It wishes to recover the relevance of process by showing a variety of his works. Constant evolution is part of the nature of this exhibit. As new work progresses, it becomes a new stage. Stage was first shown at the Aram Gallery, London, in September 2006. Afterwards, Stage Rotterdam opened its doors at the Vivid Gallery (Rotterdam) from January 14th until March 4 2007. | 2019-04-23T02:01:06Z | http://www.hayonstudio.com/presentations/stage/ |

My little one is cute and cuddly and adorable, but he doesn't like to play for more than a few minutes at a time. Of course, I don't expect him to "play" yet, but it still means I don't get much done.

Honesty and poems go together like a hand and a glove. It’s not that a poem has to be about reality, but it’s always got to be sincere, and that’s not at all easy. Even if you’re writing in rhymed couplets and hitting the right meter in each line, if your poem lacks candor, then it lacks guts. Poetry is a wonderful place to experiment with feelings, for it’s in this way that we find the best words to express the honesty that we all sorely need. Here you will find four poems about honesty that you will not find anywhere else. Please enjoy, and if you haven’t already, don’t forget to subscribe to our updates! Thank you for reading Shadow of Iris.
but don’t you know better than that?
that I just couldn’t let go.
and yet everyone thought I jumped so well.
But did anyone know that was not who I was?
however much I botched it at times.
but don’t we all know better than that?
until one day you called me up.
every last thing that I had pocketed away and hidden.
and no more furtive kisses, so what?
and I owed that to you.
and I was so, so far.
but maybe that’s just the point.
but doesn’t everyone know better than that?
it’s all a bit overblown.
Everyone talks behind your back.
and yet to you they’ll say jack.
it’d give us too much a scare.
doesn’t it all turn so gray?
that your not what you’ve promised.
Now, I’m trying rethink it all.
they’ve got too much gall.
well then I was king.
except maybe my broken pride.
not a bit of bliss.
not saying good-by to you.
of our faith in each other.
but it’ll always get you the right ones. | 2019-04-22T02:59:55Z | https://www.shadowofiris.com/honesty-poem/ |

The clinical-stage biotech's third-quarter report contained some important pipeline updates.
With a single $5 million payment from a collaboration partner, the earnings portion of AnaptysBio Inc.'s (NASDAQ:ANAB) third-quarter report didn't contain a lot of details. On the development side, though, the company moved both of its clinical-stage candidates closer to the goal line while collecting plenty of capital to get the job done.
What happened with AnaptysBio Inc. this quarter?
As promised earlier, the company's ANB019 program began a placebo-controlled 50-patient trial with palmoplantar pustulosis patients. The study, titled Poplar, is expected to produce top-line data in the second half of 2019.
AnaptysBio also delivered on its promise to begin a phase 2 trial with people who suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, a condition in need of new treatment options. Initial results from the 100-patient placebo-controlled study should be ready near the end of 2019.
Running new studies will become expensive. To cover the costs, the company upped its outstanding share count 11.3% during the third quarter and raised $227.5 million in the process.
Collaboration partner Tesaro Inc. (NASDAQ:TSRO) also contributed a $5 million milestone payment in return for beginning a phase 3 trial with TSR-042. If the lung cancer candidate eventually earns approval, Tesaro will give AnaptysBio a single-digit royalty percentage.
AnaptysBio reported positive results from an ongoing phase 2a trial with its lead candidate, etokimab. Compared with the placebo group, patients given the IL-33 inhibitor showed an 8% improvement in the amount of air they can exhale after two days, and the effect appears durable. At the 64-day checkup, patients showed an 11% improvement.
The company continued enrolling patients into a 300-patient phase 2b eczema trial with etokimab. Data is expected in the second half of 2019.
CEO Hamza Suria reminded us that a long, cold winter without much to report will be followed by several potential catalysts.
We continued to advance the clinical development of our wholly owned etokimab and ANB019 programs for severe inflammatory disease indications during the third quarter of 2018. Top-line data from our etokimab phase 2a trial in severe adult eosinophilic asthma patients demonstrated rapid and sustained improvement in forced exhaled volume in 1 second versus placebo, with corresponding reduction in blood eosinophil levels. We look forward to further advancement of our wholly owned pipeline with four additional readouts from ongoing clinical trials of etokimab and ANB019 during 2019.
Around 1% of people in the world's developed nations have asthma too severe to be treated with standard steroids alone. Although eczema is a large enough indication to drive blockbuster sales of etokimab on its own, successful asthma and nasal polyp studies would give the company a safety net that will help investors rest a little easier.
AnaptysBio finished the third quarter with a $512.4 million cash balance after losing $44.7 million during the first nine months of the year. Beginning a handful of midstage studies will cause the company to burn through a lot more cash in the quarters ahead, but it expects it has enough cash and investments on its balance sheet to see it through the end of 2020 at the very least. | 2019-04-20T06:50:53Z | https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/11/09/anaptysbio-inc-sets-up-more-shots-on-goal-in-the-t.aspx |
Port Constructor is a MicroGame, wherein the player engages in missions each taking 15 to 20 minutes to play. Each mission starts with a short strategy and several action rounds. In Port Constructor participants develops and manages a port planning project.
The aim is to optimise three equally important value drivers: people, planet and profit. On the basis of a baseline strategy, the participant chooses between a variety of functions to be placed or removed in the port area taking into account how neighbouring functions influence each other, positively or negatively.
Target group for this serious game are students, as well as professionals to better understand how to balance trade-offs, assess long term impact of port development decisions and manage stakeholders.
With Port Constructor the developers aim to achieve the following learning objectives.
First objective is for the participant to gain knowledge over decision processes in the context of port development and management.
Secondly, the game aims to develop a better understanding of spatial occupation and spatial planning required to match supply and demand for space for port expansion.
The third objective is for participants to develop better insight into the long(er) term consequences of port planning, development decisions, both for people, planet and profit.
Ultimately, with this game the developers aim to stimulate a holistic, multidisciplinary thinking with (direct and indirect) stakeholders in relation to port and port-city development.
The game design is built on both practical and theoretical knowledge and understanding from port developers, educators and scientists. By means of a digital game, the game developers have initially decoupled port development and management concepts from its context, thereby taking a conceptual perspective on port development and management. The second stage of development was to define archetypes of ports, basic port functions as well as provide an overview of port dilemmas. | 2019-04-25T12:44:08Z | https://inthere.nl/portfolio-item/port-constructor/?lang=en |

Compac provides integrated post-harvest solutions and services to the global fresh product industry. Thirty years ago, the industry lacked a fruit sorting machine with embedded mechanical, electrical, and optical technologies; a tool that was faster and more effective than picking and handling food by hand. Today, Compac designs, installs, and maintains end-to-end fruit sorting solutions that reduce labor, improve accuracy and consistency, and ensure market compliance and traceability for customers worldwide. Driven by their fast-growing business, Compac needed a solution that would help them move from a reactive to a proactive service model, and improve the experience for all of their customers.
While Compac provided exceptional service to their customers, their service was seen as heroic. Technicians were there when their customers needed them, but their service was reactional. “How can we move to more consistent global service with a consistent delivery mechanism and become more proactive with our customers versus reactive?” Smithson asked himself.
Their legacy system was used mainly to track technician time, and not to manage the relationship with customers and their products. Techs would self-manage their days, using a large chunk for admin work. And the back-office team did not have visibility into what the technicians were doing, nor could they schedule techs as needed.
As Compac’s business grew, they knew they needed a system that supported their growth today and in the future.
Prior to ServiceMax, service contracts were difficult to manage, especially across multiple systems. Now, Compac schedules regular visits, and established recurring touchpoints with their customers. | 2019-04-23T20:39:45Z | https://www.servicemax.com/customers/customer-stories/compac |

Some years ago I decided that I wanted to write a book about trees, and more particularly the strangely central role that trees play in the Biblical story. That role meant, necessarily, that they would find their way, profoundly, into Western literature, and I wanted to say something about that too. But I love trees as they are in themselves, as material things in the material world, so I did not want them to take on a purely symbolic or metaphorical significance.
Though I wrote and even published some thoughts about trees, I couldn't get the story to come together, no matter how hard I tried. My thoughts didn't want to coalesce, refused to become a book; they remained scattered and disjointed. Moreover, I knew that if I ever succeeded in weaving them together, the resulting book would demand images — and more images than a cost-conscious publisher would be likely to tolerate.
Only after a long period of worrying over this did I come to the conclusion that my thoughts, such as they were, didn't belong in a book, but rather constituted a website. So I contacted my friend Brad Cathey, a gifted designer, and he made a site for me.
It’s called Gospel of the Trees. Please check it out.
It does not have the same focus that you speak of here, and on your intriguing new website. The photos in the book are fingers pointing to a Remarkable God. It was a coffee table book at a rented beach house, and I couldn't get enough of looking at the wonder of it.
Thanks for "publishing" the website. Interesting format. Thought-full content.
Yes, I love that book. Meetings with Remarkable Trees is, I think the full title. I want on my site to pay attention to less remarkable, or less obviously remarkable, trees. Thanks so much for the kind words.
Might you be able to add an index or some interface that is not random? After I'd paged through many of them, they started to repeat and I'm not sure if I've seen them all or what. And I find myself clicking rapidly through to see if there are any new ones, which feels wrong. I really don't want my reaction to those beautiful pictures and rich quotations to be, "yeah, seen that one, anything else?"
Michael, I've thought about an index — am still thinking about it — but don't really want to do one. For me the site is closer to an art installation than a site providing information, so an index feels (again, to me) inappropriate. But I haven't made a final decision on it yet.
I've always liked this:the Mozambique Tree of Life sculpture made of decommissioned weapons. "Beating swords into plowshares"
If the script Brad wrote for me is working properly, and I think it is, then you'll go through every page on the site before any repetition.
Even if I browse through 20 of them on one computer and then come back to the site later from another computer?
I'm not literally asking about it for myself, just suggesting that I think it works against what you're trying to do with the site if you create an incentive for people to impatiently glance and click past beautiful pictures and words trying to find the pages they haven't seen yet.
If you don't want a literal index you could consider some sort of interface that let's you go directly to a particular page number. | 2019-04-24T19:02:49Z | http://text-patterns.thenewatlantis.com/2011/02/gospel-of-trees.html |

Lewis views that the modern system of education is failing to understand what it is to be human. C S Lewis criticizes the modern education because it is neglecting the emotions, which is the natural values and focuses on the reason. According to CS Lewis, this produces two problems, one is it produces empty chested man meaning that they have no emotions. We are producing men without chests, men without operative organs of apprehending objective values or natural law, or the tao.
Man’s conquest of Nature will be completed when human nature is conquered. Values will then be a thing for humans to produce and modify at will, not a thing to be guided by. So the only force left to motivate us will be the force of natural impulses which is the tao/ our emotions? So if we give up the tao, we don’t have any leverage to keep ourselves from falling.
People see values as subjective (influenced by feelings) rather than objective (independent of the subject).
What kind of change do we need in our education? I propose some classes in our college core curriculum. The classes I propose are parenting and money management. These two are something that we all need living in this world and the college does a good job neglecting them. Maybe those little changes can bring some change. Hopefully. | 2019-04-24T10:13:29Z | http://idreamer153.blogspot.com/2009/01/abolition-of-everything.html |
The Constitution and the Law grant autonomy to the Banco de la República as Colombia’s central bank. This means that the Bank does not form part of the branches of Public Power (Executive, Legislative and Judicial), of the regulatory and auditing agencies nor of electoral power, but is a State entity of a unique nature, responsible for its own organisation in accordance with the functions it must perform. In technical terms, the Bank’s autonomy consists of its ability to analyse freely monetary phenomena, to design and apply policy without being subject to other State pressures.
Legally, the constitutional hierarchy of the Bank enables institutional stability and nourishes a healthy permanence of traditions and criteria, being detached from external political developments and influences.
Nevertheless, it is important to note that autonomy does not mean isolation. It is clear that monetary, credit and exchange policies must be harmonious with the Government’s general economic policy. In order to facilitate this co-ordination, the Minister of Finance is the presiding member of the Bank’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Board must consult the Government’s macroeconomic plan for policy design in those areas under its responsibility. Notwithstanding, the Board must take care not to compromise the achievement of its primary assigned goal of preserving price stability during consultations and co-ordination of efforts with the Government. In the case of conflict of interests, the Bank may refuse to comply with eventual demands formulated by the Government to cover fiscal shortcomings.
The independence of the monetary authority is a factor of significant importance in instilling and maintaining credibility in the measures adopted; thereby leading to an increase in effectiveness.
Law 31 ratified the constitutional rule that granted the Bank’s Board of Directors sole authority regarding monetary, exchange and credit matters. Law 31 also confirmed the composition of the Board of Directors as consisting of seven members who must comply with certain qualities and requirements, including abstention from a series of prohibitions both before assuming and after occupying their posts. This was designed with the aim of ensuring a high level of professional and ethical aptitude amongst the members coherent with their responsibility of representing the Nation’s general interest.
As mentioned previously, Law 31 provided for the periodic renewal of the Board. The Chief Executive Officer is elected by the remaining members of the Board for a period of four years and can be re-elected for up to two additional terms.
According to constitutional and legal mandate, the essential responsibility of the Banco de la República is to safeguard the purchasing power of the national currency, therefore implying that inflation control is the primary objective of monetary policy. Accordingly, price stability is recognised as being necessary for economic progress and, therefore, the Bank must make adjustments to the overall growth of currency and credit with the achievement in mind. Moreover, Law 31 requires that, at the beginning of each year, the Bank’s Board of Directors establish the inflation goal, thereby determining the economic policy that must be planned and executed. | 2019-04-22T16:15:37Z | http://www.banrep.gov.co/en/node/22667 |
We know that as a landlord or property manager, you need background check results delivered as soon as possible. To help speed up your decision process, the American Apartment Owners Association now offers instant tenant credit checks to all members.
Free, Basic, or Value member have access to this time-saving benefit. All it takes are a few simple steps to get you approved and you’ll no longer have to wait for the tenant to provide an email verification before a credit report is produced. This is especially useful if you’re running a background check on a tenant that doesn’t have an email address or access to a computer.
The process for approval is known as underwriting and is required by credit bureaus to get access to instant credit. It only takes about 3 business days to get approved by the credit bureau and then you can start ordering on-demand credit reports.
Required documents vary depending on whether you are a landlord, private company, or broker. In most cases these are documents you already have access to such as your driver’s license and rental agreements. View requirements here.
Once your documents are approved, we’ll have a credit bureau approved representative make a quick inspection of your office.
Inspections can be made at a residential or commercial office and on average take 15 minutes to complete. Inspectors check to see that you have a locked filing cabinet, paper shredder, and secure location.
The inspection fee is $59. Annual inspections are required for residential locations, but commercial locations only require a one-time inspection.
Once your required documents and inspection are complete, we’ll give you access to instant credit reports.
To get started, log in to your account at www.AAOA.com and click “Tenant Screening”. Then scroll to the bottom and click on the button “Learn More About Underwriting”.
If you’re planning to order two or more reports, we highly recommend joining AAOA as a Value Member.

The SOP test is a functional test of your balance. You will be asked to remove your shoes, and complete a short series of balance tasks. Some involve closing your eyes, marching in place, or standing on a piece of thick foam. The Audiologist looks for patterns of sway or instability that help distinguish the cause of your balance problem, as well as the effect it may be having on your everyday activities.
Oculomotor testing requires you to watch a series of moving lights that appear on a light bar mounted to the office wall. They may move up and down or side to side; the Audiologist will explain each subtest so you know what to watch. This portion of the battery is quite simple.
Positional testing is completed to assess whether your body position affects your inner ear response. You will be asked to lie on your back, roll on your side, and lie with your head slightly extended backward.
Caloric irrigations are certainly the most interesting of the VNG tests. You will lie on your back, somewhat inclined. The audiologist will run cool and warm water into your ears, which allows us to assess the function of one ear versus the other. It is the least comfortable part of testing, but it gives us the most valuable information. Some patients experience a sensation of floating or tilting as a result of having the water in the ears, but some patients feel nothing at all. If the calorics do make you feel strange, the sensation will only last for a few minutes at a time, and it is a perfectly natural reaction to the procedure.
Once the balance testing is completed, the Audiologist is usually able to discuss the results right away. Some test findings require more in-depth analysis, and you may have to wait to discuss the results during your follow up visit with the Otolaryngologist. That ENT visit is also an opportunity for you to receive further clarification about your test findings, learn more about your treatment options, and ask questions you may have forgotten to ask your Audiologist on the day of testing.
What causes dizziness and balance problems?
– The inner ear contains a hearing organ and a balance organ. The balance portion is a tiny motion detector that senses movement as well as gravity. Any time you move, your ears know which way you moved, how fast you moved, when you started, and when you stopped. All of this information is then sent to the brain.
– The eyes also make a large contribution. You have to be able to see clearly, for one thing. Second, your eyes help your brain distinguish vertical from horizontal. And third, your eyes must be able to make very quick, controlled movements in order to keep up with moving objects in your environment.
– Somatosensation and proprioception are big words that simply refer to your body’s sense of space. This encompasses your weight distribution, gravity, and the muscle tension from all of your joints.
Your brain needs input from the inner ear, the eyes, and your somatosensory system in order to stay balanced. However, these three systems also have to communicate amongst themselves, and they must be in agreement when they send signals to the brain. If any one system becomes weak or impaired, the brain has a difficult time interpreting the resulting signal. That’s when you feel dizzy or off-balance.
Also known simply as Positional Vertigo, BPPV is the most common cause of dizziness in people over the age of 65. Within the balance organ, there are tiny crystals or “ear rocks” that help us sense motion and gravity. On occasion, these crystals pop loose from where they belong and migrate into a different part of the balance organ. Most cases of BPPV are idiopathic, meaning that it happened at random, but we can also see BPPV when a head injury jars the crystals loose, or as a result of vestibular neuritis (see below). BPPV causes movement-induced vertigo, and the most common complaint is of dizziness when rolling over in bed. Other problem movements are bending over, looking up, or being reclined in a dentist’s chair or beauty salon shampoo sink. Fortunately, BPPV is very easy to diagnose, and most cases can be treated with a quick and simple in-office procedure.
The inner ear (vestibular system) is a use-it-or-lose-it mechanism. Because it is a motion detector, the only way to keep it strong is by giving it lots of motion input to respond to. Most Americans become rather restricted in their movement starting in their third or fourth decade; we spend the majority of our day either sitting down or walking in a straight line. Think back to when you were a child, doing somersaults and cartwheels, swinging on a swing set, or rolling on the floor while wrestling with your siblings. Odds are that the mere thought of doing those things now makes your head spin. After decades of avoiding such movements, the brain can start to ignore any signal coming from the vestibular system. Patients with vestibular utilization deficits find themselves using walls or nearby objects for support while walking, and they tend to have more trouble walking in the dark or on soft surfaces like grass or carpet. While these symptoms can also be caused by an actual inner ear weakness, they are often simply a result of a sedentary American lifestyle. Fortunately, there is a form of physical therapy called vestibular rehabilitation that has proven extremely effective in remedying the problem.
Vestibular neuritis is a condition in which the vestibular nerve, leading from the inner ear to the brain, becomes inflamed and no longer transmits signals properly. The onset of symptoms is usually quite sudden, and includes whirling vertigo (room spinning) that can last for several hours. The spinning is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and gets worse with head or body movements. Symptoms gradually improve over a few days or weeks, and most people recover completely within about six weeks. Those who still have lingering symptoms may be candidates for vestibular rehabilitation.
Labyrinthitis is an infection of the inner ear itself (often referred to as the labyrinth). Symptoms are abrupt in onset and include whirling vertigo, as well as nausea and vomiting. What sets labyrinthitis apart from vestibular neuritis is that the patient also experiences a sudden significant hearing loss in one ear. Balance symptoms do improve over time, but vestibular rehabilitation is recommended for patients who do not completely recover from the dizziness. Unfortunately, the hearing loss usually remains, and some patients may benefit from using a hearing aid.
The underlying cause is still being debated, but it is agreed that symptoms occur when the inner ear becomes over-filled with its own natural fluid, a process known as endolymphatic hydrops. This increased pressure causes a delicate inner ear membrane to rupture, much like a water balloon springing a leak. There are numerous treatments for Meniere’s disease, including diet restrictions, medication, surgical procedures, and vestibular rehabilitation. After proper diagnosis and a thorough review of medical history, the Otolaryngologist (ENT) will help determine which treatment method will be most effective. The hearing loss can sometimes be addressed by wearing a hearing aid on the affected ear. | 2019-04-21T23:00:10Z | https://www.entspec.com/balance/ |

The impulse ring, which attaches to the inner ring of the bearing, is a composite magnetized ring that contains between 32 and 80 north and south poles. The number of poles depends on the size of the bearing. The sensor body, which is attached to the outer ring, protects the patented SKF Hall effect cell. The multi-wire connecting cable extends in the radial direction.
The bearing is protected by a contact seal on one side. On the opposite side of the bearing, the impulse ring and sensor body create an effective labyrinth seal to keep lubricant in and solid contaminants out of the bearing.
SKF motor encoder units use a compact and robust sensor that produces an incremental encoder signal. The sensor is accurate down to zero revolutions per minute. An integrated active circuit (requiring an external voltage supply) in the sensor body contains two Hall effect cells that produce an output signal consisting of two square waves (fig. 2).
The direction of rotation can be determined from the phase shift, when the rising edge of a signal first appears.
Low speeds can be determined by measuring the time between two electrical events, such events being the rising and falling edge on either square wave.
High speeds can be measured by counting the number of electrical events within a given time period.
The two square waves are 90° out of phase with each other. This phase shift changes sign with the direction of rotation. Fig. 2 shows the general specifications of the signal. The presence of two signals in quadrature enables a processing unit to multiply the number of angular position increments per revolution. For example, using a standard SKF sensor bearing with 64 pulses per revolution and a standard electronic interface that can detect the rising (Low/High) and falling (High/Low) times of each of the two signals, it is possible to obtain 256 electrical events per revolution, which translates to an angular resolution of 1,4° (fig. 2).
SKF motor encoder units provide accurate and reliable signals for effective motor control and are 100% tested for period accuracy, duty cycle and phase shift during manufacture.
Standard cable lengths are listed in the product table. For alternative connectors or cable lengths, contact SKF.
The grease life in the bearing can be calculated according to the method described under Grease life for capped bearings.
Magnetic sensors have temperature and motor power limits. For applications where magnetic sensors are not practical, high-performance inductive technology can be used instead. Inductive sensors use coils to sense the rotation of a specially designed induction tooth ring.
For additional information about motor encoder units for extreme operating conditions, contact SKF. | 2019-04-21T02:34:49Z | http://redirects.skf.com/group/products/bearings-units-housings/engineered-products/sensor-bearing-units/motor-encoder-units/design-and-variants/index.html |
What is motivational disorder? you've noticeable it, you'll also have skilled it, and you've got definitely felt the results of this disorder on your place of work. frequently undiagnosed, staff being affected by motivational disorder have decreased motivation brought on by a scarcity of pleasure for his or her activity. This severe factor can expense businesses billions of bucks in keeping with 12 months in misplaced productiveness. how will you wrestle this on your association? easily placed, management is the treatment. targeting the people aspect of offer chains, Modeling and Benchmarking provide Chain management: atmosphere the stipulations for Excellence offers the framework for prime humans to accomplish new degrees of excellence.
Applying his 30 years of offer chain event and exemplary management, Joe Walden information the traits thought of benchmarks for measuring management good fortune. He makes use of the management© acronym to set up a framework. every one bankruptcy examines a severe characteristic, defining it and utilizing examples of excellent and undesirable management from the army and a number of advertisement industries. simply because the research of operations administration used the home of caliber to explain how caliber is designed into and outfitted right into a product; Walden seems at how the attributes of management shape a home of Leadership.
More than a number of enterprise leaders have insinuated that the availability chain is the place destiny competitions should be ―and successful these competitions would require management. whereas technical talents, automation of features, and data structures are very important, with no the precise individuals with the appropriate education and talent set, offer chains will fail and motivational disorder will take carry. This e-book offers a version of management to inspire your group and empower them to make the choices that set the stipulations for offer chain victory.
Eventually, a booklet comes alongside that gives a different but uncomplicated and robust method of comprehend the company version and the serious position strategic administration has in helping it. Its price is in enterprise version considering. It brings you a mix of the simplest contributions of academe and that might support construct enterprise model-centric corporations.
In the event you imagine process is simply for the administrative crew or CEO, reassess. actually, method is everyone’s task. each person contained in the association is associated with the luck of the company and performs an element within the firm’s strategic mosaic. each person within the association can be asking themselves, “How do I upload worth to the enterprise?
Why do many businesses and agencies fail after they shouldn’t? Why do a little Leaders and CEOs want that they only can’t be successful for the association. it really is as a result of a failure giving the eye to an organization’s tradition that it merits. constructing an organizational tradition, ethos, rules, and practices that may supply your company a aggressive area isn't effortless and it doesn't occur in a single day.
The ABC’s of undesirable management are: conceitedness, bullying, complacency and corruption. each one of those ABC’s of undesirable management are unfavourable values. management is both worth optimistic or worth unfavourable. management, just like the tradition of a company, isn't worth impartial. it's the chief who chooses even if to be worth optimistic or worth adverse.

(speed) Can record events in real time.
Some can disassemble machine code to provide more readable diagnostics. May not see the signal the same way the circuit under test sees it due to differing level sensitivities or differences in timing of the sampling.
(depending on speed) Can view composites of events (detected by external trigger circuit) in real time.
Displays the entire signal including the exact voltage and timing (if the scope is faster and more accurate than the signal). Really shows what the circuit is seeing (probably). Non-recording models do not show individual signals but instead display a composite of many copies of the same signal one on top of the next. Isolated incidents may be missed.
Can display only one or two signals (called channels or traces) at a time.
If the signal changes fast enough, the 'scope may miss it.
Doesn't know how the circuit will respond to the signal.
(depending on speed) Can record and view individual events (detected by external trigger circuit) in real time.
Displays the entire signal including the exact voltage and timing. Really shows what the circuit is seeing. Can display only one or two signals (called channels or traces) at a time.
(depending on speed) Combination of a Digital Oscilloscope with a Logic Analyzer. All the advantages... If the signal changes fast enough, the 'scope may miss it.
(except for Ubicom, Microchip and AVR? at about $200) Should allow recording from the point of view of the circuit (so the signal levels and timing don't matter). What you see is what it got (not necessarily what it saw).
Many emulators will not correctly support external events like IO port signals and interrupts.
Simulators Free to $1000 Allows testing of basic code and ideas without even needing to have the device.

We are not just consumers, we are citizens in a democracy. One person one vote, not $1 one vote.
Francis Moore Lappe: When our founders said “all men are created equal, and they are endowed with certain unalienable rights” what equality were they talking about? For me it’s equality of dignity. We are all worthy, knowing I have a voice and am not powerless. My life has some meaning beyond survival. I’m connected with others. Power, meaning, connection are the essence of democracy, they define our movement.

The Remove the Whole Lead Pipe Program (RWLP) is a partnership between the Town of North Providence and Providence Water under the leadership of Mayor Lombardi. It is the Town’s goal to have all the lead water pipes in North Providence replaced so that threats to public health and safety can be eliminated in a pro-active manner. Lead is a neurotoxin, which is hazardous to you and your families’ health. The clean, safe water coming through lead pipes can become contaminated. the Funding for this program is through the RI Office of Housing & Community Development’s CDBG program.
The water service line between the street (the curb stop) and the house is owned by the residential property owner, as illustrated in the diagram on the next page. For residents, who receive their water from Providence Water, Providence Water owns the water main and the service line from the water main to the curb stop. Removal and replacement of private-side lead service lines will be a multi-year process, and is dependent upon funding. The funding rules require each household (owners and tenants) assisted to make a formal application. We appreciate your help and cooperation in fully completing the application forms, so that the Town can properly spend grant money to pay for the replacement of private-side lead water service lines.
Funding will be used to pay for the replacement of the private-side lead service lines from curb-stop to the meter. As part of the replacement process, the Replace the Whole Lead Pipe Program will undertake a water quality test at your home following replacement of the private-side lead service line to assure that the water is safe following construction activities.
Overall, it is important to know that the water provided by Providence Water is safe to drink, and is regularly monitored for quality. Water can become contaminated by lead service lines, particularly when it lies still for a period of time. Thank you for completing the application form, so that we can properly spend grant money and remove the whole lead pipe.
Assistance provided by the Remove the Whole Lead Pipe Program is a one-time grant to replace the private-side lead service line from the curb stop to the meter. Each property owner will be responsible for any future maintenance, repair or replacement of the private-side water service line, after this one-time assistance program to eliminate lead water service lines. | 2019-04-20T06:42:52Z | https://northprovidenceri.gov/remove-the-whole-lead-pipe-program/ |
SDMC annually runs a variety of Championships with the following awards presented at the club dinner dance in November.
Club Championship: The big one! A round of typically 16 - 18 events comprising a little bit of everything and open to everyone, the Club Championship is the most prestigious award on offer and requires considerable skills in a range of motorsporting disciplines to win, as well as no shortage of determination and dedication.
The Mitchell Trophy: Is presented to the runner-up of the SDMC Club Championship.
The John W. Beggs Ladies Trophy: Donated by club member Leslie Spilman-Vie in honour of her late father John, a dedicated hot-rodder and general car nut. This trophy is presented to the highest placed lady in the Club Championship, quite fitting as Leslie describes her dad as "something of a ladies man"! Click here to read Les's tribute.
The Farrochie Cup : Due to the lack of Autocrosses in recent times, the Farrochie Cup will now be presented to the fastest time set on the SDMC Rally Time Trial by an SDMC member.
Previously presented to the fastest Club member on the first SDMC Autocross of the year.
The Joe Bey Trophy: Presented to the club member who, by a committee vote, has been judged to have done the most work on behalf of the club in the year. A highly coveted award as there are always a lot of people giving up their free time for SDMC!
The Ambassador Trophy: New for 2009 and donated by Nick Walker of Newtonhill's 20th Century Classics, the Ambassador Trophy will be awarded to the club member who has competed in the most events throughout the year without winning a trophy. Intended to reward the stalwart clubmen who support the club by consistently competing without necessarily having the means of winning.
The Groundwater Lift Trucks Junior Trophy: Another donation from a club member, many thanks to SRC front-runner Barry Groundwater for donating this trophy! Awarded to the winner of the Junior Championship, comprised of low-budget events and open to competitors under 21 years old. Groundwater Lift Trucks offer sales, hire, service and parts for a variety of forklifts, loaders and other equipment all over the UK.
The Belmont Communications Senior Trophy: Another relatively new award, with the trophy kindly donated by club members John and Gail Clark through their company Belmont Communications who specialise in radio and telecomms equipment sales and hire. The award is presented to the highest placed Senior: i.e Club competitor over 50 years of age.
Fiesta Challenge Trophy: A low-cost series within the club championship open to small engined cars with limited modifications, The Fiesta Challenge has always been closely fought and is even more popular since it was opened to cars other than the Ford Fiesta! Click here to read more.
Autotest Championship: With several skilled and dedicated Autotesters among SDMCs ranks, this is another Championship that tends to be fairly hotly contested. As with the other championships this is based on class as opposed to overall points so the champion come year end will not necessarily be the driver of an Autotest Special!
Speed Championship: In previous years the SDMC Speed Championship encompassed Sprints and Hillclimbs, however as with SDMC member interest in these events dropping, the only events now counting for this championship are the SDMC Autocross and Clubcross events. This should mean the action on the grass is closer than ever!
Novice Rally Championship: The first rung on the road rallying ladder, the Novice championship is comprised of a number of rallies organised by local clubs, with awards for the winning driver and navigator. The navigation clues for these events are designed to suit the raw skills of a newcomer, although don't make the mistake of assuming that this automatically makes them easy!
Non-Expert Rally Championship: The next step up, basically when you go into a Novice event expecting to clean it you should be having a go at these! Although the route used will be the same for all three classes, the clues are more difficult and complex. In addition to this, the locations of all the time controls are not always given making the navigation more challenging. In some cases the clues are identical to the Expert level, however at his level you are more likely to be given the grid references of all the time controls.
Expert Rally Championship (Scott Trophy Shield): Intended for experienced crews, the Expert clues are often very cryptic, open to huge amounts of interpretation and include a variety of dead ends to confuse the unwitting navigator. Many of the time controls will not be listed, so success at this level depends even more on the skill of the navigator than at Novice and Non-Expert level.
Marshals Championship (Abospeed Quaich): This award is dedicated to those yellow-bibbed heroes who give up their weekends to stand around all day, braving all sorts of weather, getting splattered with muck at Autocrosses, chasing cars up hills at PCTs and being peppered with stones at stage rallies!
Social Championship: Another championship available to the non-competitor (although I don't think you can really describe John or Duncan as non-competitors!), the Social championship was introduced in 2007 and has been a huge success. Quiz Nights, Scalextric/PS2 Challenges, Bowling and Karting have all featured here, as well as the world famous SDMC Treasure Hunts! | 2019-04-25T14:50:19Z | http://sdmc.co.uk/awards.htm |

One of the stalwarts of the SA8 brand of laundry products has had a makeover.
Laundry powder often does not dissolve as it should do, meaning clothes don't get as clean as we'd like them to. Even worse, freshly washed clothes may be left with marks and residue from undissolved powder. But the improved SA8 Color dissolves excellently – just watch the new 'Exploding Crystals' demo to see how!
As the seasons change, the colours in nature change too. The gorgeous greens of spring, the deep, rusty reds of autumn - whichever season it is, the beauty of the natural world around us is breathtaking. And many people change the colours they wear as the season changes, reflecting, maybe even subconsciously, the beauty of the landscape.
If you want to protect the colours of your clothes, AMWAY HOMETM SA8TM Color Concentrated Laundry Powder Detergent is the right one to choose. Now, more than ever - because this great product has been reformulated, and will relaunch this season.
The newly reformulated SA8 Color features a new, more efficient color care polymer and rebalanced base, which preserves vivid colours, so clothes look newer longer, and brights stay brighter. The fragrance hasn't changed; it's the same fresh fragrance as before. You can easily spot the improved SA8 Color because its packaging features a 'new' icon. What's more, a descriptive carton top has been added, so you'll find it more easily when you're searching for it in your laundry storage area.
New WOW-demo: The SA8 Color 'Exploding Cyrstals' demo shows how the product dissolves very fast even in cold water as it literally ‘explodes’ off a spoon when placed in cool water leaving no residues or lumps. Try finding a competing product that performs like this!
Improved: The ‘Clarity’ Demo benefits from the improved SA8 Color formula, as it dissolves even faster and clearer while many competing powders disperse into a cloudy suspension. Where do you suppose these undissolved particles end up? | 2019-04-19T07:40:05Z | https://amagram.amway.co.uk/en/world-of-products/home-and-living/home-care/610281 |

The determination area comprises land and inland waters of Ngurupai (Horn Island), Torres Strait, Queensland.
Native title exists in parts of the determination area.
In May 1996 the Kaurareg People lodged five native title claims over parts of seven islands in the Torres Strait. Subsequently, five consent determinations were made by Justice Drummond and the reasons for each given together in one judgment. The parties to the consent determinations reached agreement via three Indigenous Land Use Agreements, the first was between the Kaurareg People, the Torres Shire Council and the State of Queensland, and the second and third between the Kaurareg People and the Telstra Corporation Limited and Ergon Energy Corporation Limited respectively.
This is the first of the five consent determinations and involves the land and inland waters of Ngurupai (Horn Island), Torres Strait, Queensland. The native title rights and interests conferred on the native title holders are for the possession, occupation, use and enjoyment of the claim area to the exclusion of all others, except those whose interests are recognised in the consent determination. These rights are exercisable in accordance with traditional laws and customs, the laws of the State of Queensland and the Commonwealth, and the planning scheme and local laws of the Torres Shire Council. The details of these rights and interests were discussed by Justice Drummond in the consent determination. The native title holders have nominated a corporate body (the Kaiwalagal Aboriginal Corporation) to manage the land on their behalf in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993.
The consent determination found that native title had been wholly extinguished in areas of land and water on which any lawful public work was constructed or established, including lands and waters adjacent to the public work. Native title rights and interests had also been extinguished to the extent that they had been affected by the lawful physical activity created pursuant to lawful mining leases and interests.
Other interests and rights were recognised by the consent determination, and include those of the Torres Shire Council under its Local Government jurisdictions, functions and statutory power. The Shire's interests include those legal or equitable interests it might have in relation to the claim land and those which are protected by the Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the native title holders and the State of Queensland. The Shire also has interests as trustee of a reserve and a lot of land under the Land Act 1994.
The recognition of native title did not affect the State's interest in forest products or quarry materials, or the ability of the State to regulate these under the Forestry Act 1959.
The interests of the Telstra Corporation Limited and Ergon Energy Limited are protected in the exercise of their statutory functions, operation of their facilities and maintenance of their infrastructure. Both corporations have their rights additionally protected by separate ILUAs with the representatives of the native title holders. The Crown and the State of Queensland also hold interests pursuant to any statute or valid executive or legislative act that was current at the date of the determination. The State of Queensland has its interests additionally protected by the ILUA with the native title holders. The rights and interests of other parties prevail over the rights and interests of the native title holders when they cannot exist concurrently. | 2019-04-19T18:26:42Z | https://www.atns.net.au/agreement.asp?EntityID=583 |
It’s the Friday after the election; at the NY Medical Director’s conference this morning, Physicians were asking if the President-elect’s promise to repeal Obamacare will affect their practices.
Predicting what’s going to happen under the Trump Administration is a fool’s errand. However, it is apparent the focus of the Republican Congress over the past 6 years has been aimed toward repealing the mandates for individual insurance, the federal financing of Medicaid Expansion, and the provisions for State and Federal insurance pools, and under Trump’s administration, they may now have the ability to do so.
True, the PPACA also launched a series of sweeping Medicare reforms, but those were all aimed at reducing the spending curve’s rate of increase. That problem isn’t going away as the Baby Boom Generation reaches Medicare eligibility – they have relatively low retirement savings, many chronic problems, and relative longevity. Keeping Medicare solvent, while avoiding angering voters, is a task Congress will probably leave to the CMS – unless there is a politically advantageous legislative alternative.
All of Part B Medicare is now governed by MACRA/MIPS – which passed with broad bipartisan approval, recognizing the inherent flaws with the Sustainable Growth Rate. Some elements of the Medical Community may want parts of MACRA/MIPS rolled back, but to what? Privatizing Medicare may appeal to those with libertarian leaning, but I doubt that will play well with many of the electorate.
Part A Medicare is already moving rapidly to Bundled Payment strategies for most hospital episodes – which hurts hospitals but seems to be a strategy that hasn’t raised problems with the voting public.
Some elements of the PPACA, like the Innovation Center, are probable targets, but the reforms that program launched, e.g. ACOs – are likely to remain after being reassigned to another department within CMS.
Trump’s plan, or lack thereof, has been assumed to be modeled by Paul Ryan’s Patient’s Choice Act. Though Trump is a political outsider with no discernible legislative record for the electorate to gauge his decision-making, it is expected that he will pull his knowledge from already established reform proposals from the Republican Party. So, Trump may be the proverbial ‘political wildcard’, but his actions may be more predictable than previously expected.
While it would be comforting if Congress and the new administration would bring a scalpel to the most onerous parts of MACRA/MIPS Regulations, I think that is wishful at best. There’s not much real choice, so start your MIPS planning for 2017, and expect it to be our companion through all of 2018. | 2019-04-19T09:05:55Z | http://ltcmanagement.com/trumping-obamacare-not-likely-affect-macramips/ |

In the early 13th century a Spanish priest named Dominic de Guzman, while traveling with his bishop, encountered the Cathar heresy spreading through southern France. Cathars believed that the physical world was evil. They denied the incarnation of Christ, the efficacy of the Sacraments and the goodness of creation. St. Dominic recognized the need for educated and prayerful men to preach the truth of the Gospel to Cathars and bring them back to Christ.
Gathering a band of 16 preachers, he founded the Order of Preachers in Toulouse, France, in 1216. In his approval of this new Order, Pope Honorius III noted that the need for educated apostolic preaching extended beyond the region of southern France. Within a year, St. Dominic split his band of brothers and sent them into Spain and northern France for further education and to continue the work of preaching the Gospel. By the time of his death in 1221, there were more than 200 Dominican Friars living and preaching throughout Europe. In the centuries that followed, the Order spread to Africa, Asia and the Americas. Today, there are more than 5,000 Dominican Friars. They continue the mission begun by St. Dominic of preaching everywhere the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is done with fullness of mind and openness both to the Spirit of God and to the hearts of those to whom the word of God is being preached.
In 1850, the first Dominicans came to the west coast of the United States during the California Gold Rush. Fr. Peter Augustine Anderson, OP. celebrated the first Catholic Mass in the goldfields and established the first parish in what became the city of Sacramento. During this time, the city of San Francisco became the seat of a new diocese. The first bishop selected in 1850 was the co-founder of the Western Dominican Province, Fr. Joseph Alemany, OP. Presently, there are 150 Dominicans assigned to 18 communities in the western US and Mexico. The friars have houses in every major city in the West extending north to south from Anchorage, Alaska to San Diego, California and east to Salt Lake City, Utah. The province is formally called The Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.
For almost 160 years, St. Dominic’s has maintained a strong spiritual and academic presence in the once-state-capital town of Benicia, California. In 1854, the Dominican priest, Fr. Francis Vilarrasa, sailed from Monterey, where he had founded Santo Domingo Monastery, to the thriving city of Benicia. After arriving on March 16, 1854, the Dominican community occupied the property bound by East I and J between 4th and 5th Streets as a Dominican Seminary. In August of the same year, Mother Mary, who had made the first journey with Fr. Vilarrasa from Rome, arrived from Monterey with other Sisters and some resident students to set up school in Benicia. She bought several frame buildings in the hollow at the north end of 1st Street where she founded St. Catherine’s School. The Seminary grew and prospered with the building of St. Dominic’s Church, which was dedicated in 1890. In the early 1930’s, the Seminary and House of Studies were moved elsewhere. St. Catherine’s, however, was in continuous operation for more than a century until 1966, when ten of its buildings were demolished. The Solano shopping center now occupies the site. St. Dominic’s Rectory was built in 1956 and the old seminary dormitory was torn down. In March of 1961, St. Dominic’s Parochial School was opened on the corner of 5th and East J Streets. This school is still in operation today. A committed community of parents, teachers, staff, and church congregation support its development. Together, St. Dominic’s Church and School provide a strong spiritual and academic presence in a growing Benicia.
Fr. Francis Sadoc Vilarrasa y Costa, O.P. was born August 9, 1814 in Catalonia, Spain. He entered the Dominicans at the age of 15 and was ordained May 16, 1837. After volunteering for the American missions and laboring for five years in the Province of St. Joseph (eastern Province) with Fr. Joseph Alemany, OP, he was invited by the new Bishop Alemany to accompany him to California. Pope Pius IX had given Fr. Alemany, who attempted to resign as Bishop, a clear mandate: “You must go to California: there is no alternative, where others are drawn by gold, you must go to carry the Cross. God will assist you.” On July 18, 1850, the Province of the Holy Name of God was established with Bishop Alemany as first Provincial and Fr. Vilarrasa was assigned to the missions of California. After establishing the Convent of St. Dominic in Monterey, Fr. Vilarrasa came to Benicia. On March 17, 1854, Fr. Vilarrasa celebrated his first Mass in Benicia. The city had a church built, but it had a debt of two thousand dollars and was not consecrated. The Dominicans moved to Benicia March 31, 1854. In 1855, they built the convent and enlarged it the next year. They incurred a debt of seventeen thousand dollars and paid it off over a period of fourteen years. Finally in 1857, Fr. Vilarrasa had the joy of seeing two of his novices ordained to the priesthood. Fr. Vilarrasa describes the situation in some detail: “In order that I might the easier provide for the spread of the Order… I transferred the convent of Monterey to Benicia by a letter dated March 31, 1854. Benicia is a small city located on the straits of the Sacramento River which are called Carquinez, and is a distance of twenty-seven English miles from the city of San Francisco. This city was founded in the year 1847 by the Mexican general, Señor Mariano Vallejo, who gave it the name of his wife, Benicia…There already then existed at Benicia a church recently built and intended for a parish but not at all finished and furthermore burdened with a debt of two thousand dollars. This the Archbishop gave to the Order. We built a very humble house without cells, such as we had at Monterey, and for this purpose the Archbishop assisted us with a sum of five hundred dollars. Before the beginning of the year 1859, thanks to the donations of the faithful of the city of Benicia, who, though few in number and destitute of the goods of fortune, nevertheless excel in generosity, the church was completed, a sacristy had been added together with a choir behind the altar, and all the debts were paid. There was then [in 1854] committed to our Brethren the care of the parishes of Benicia and Martinez, which latter is a town situated across the Sacramento River almost opposite Benicia. There was already a small church there under the title of St. Catherine of Siena. Both parishes then embraced a vast territory. The Church of Benicia was solemnly blessed by the Archbishop under the title of our holy Father Dominic on June 18, 1854.” Why did Fr. Vilarrasa come to Benicia? In the 1850s, Benicia blossomed from a town to a thriving city. Two major factors in the growth were (1) the establishment of the Benicia Arsenal; and (2) it lay on the direct water route between San Francisco and the gold fields beyond Sacramento. With the presence of the military and their families and the continual influx of “the forty-niners”, the city expanded in population and activity. Because of this, it was for a short time, the capital of the state. Even though the capital moved to Sacramento and the gold fields diminished in favor of the silver mines of Nevada, the completion of the railroads and the success of the Benicia-Martinez Ferry system ensured the continued growth and development of the community. In this way, Benicia was a natural place to locate the missionary and preaching efforts of the Order. With regard to his person, biographers describe Fr. Vilarrasa as a dark, rather short, man who wore glasses in his later years. In fact, his diminutive stature often required him to use a bench in order to be seen when he read or preached from the lectern. Once when he was reading the Gospel of John, he quoted Jesus: “A little while and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.” At that precise moment his footing shifted, his center of gravity unbalanced, and he fell off the bench. Demonstration can be a powerful form of sermon! In the following years, the Dominicans established parishes up and down the California Delta, e.g., Vallejo, Port Costa, Crockett, Antioch, Brentwood and Walnut Creek. With St. Dominic, Benicia as the Mother Church, the Dominicans formed a base from which the holy preaching effectively reached the developing delta area. Fr. Vilarrasa died on March 17, 1888, thirty four years to the day of his first Mass in Benicia, fifty years a priest, fifty-seven years in religious life, and seventy-three years of age. Fr. Vilarrasa was a different kind of missionary. He realized the importance of friars to be grounded in prayer. As Prior, Superior, or Provincial, he established houses of strict observance. He was a lone friar in a foreign land when he landed with Bishop Alemany and Sr. Mary Goemare. He persevered through many hardships, but saw to it that Dominicans would be in the West to pra ise, to bless, and to preach. For almost 160 years, St. Dominic’s has maintained a strong spiritual and academic presence in the once-state-capital town of Benicia, California. In 1854, the Dominican priest, Fr. Francis Vilarrasa, sailed from Monterey, where he had founded Santo Domingo Monastery, to the thriving city of Benicia. After arriving on March 16, 1854, the Dominican community occupied the property bound by East I and J between 4th and 5th Streets as a Dominican Seminary. In August of the same year, Mother Mary, who had made the first journey with Fr. Vilarrasa from Rome, arrived from Monterey with other Sisters and some resident students to set up school in Benicia. She bought several frame buildings in the hollow at the north end of 1st Street where she founded St. Catherine’s School. The Seminary grew and prospered with the building of St. Dominic’s Church, which was dedicated in 1890. In the early 1930’s, the Seminary and House of Studies were moved elsewhere. St. Catherine’s, however, was in continuous operation for more than a century until 1966, when ten of its buildings were demolished. The Solano shopping center now occupies the site. St. Dominic’s Rectory was built in 1956 and the old Semi- nary dormitory was torn down. In March of 1961, St. Dominic’s Parochial School was opened on the corner of 5th and East J Streets. This school is still in operation today. A committed community of parents, teachers, staff, and church congregation support its development. Together, St. Dominic’s Church and School provide a strong spiritual and academic presence in a growing Benicia.
A nonprofit, tax exempt trust established to receive, manage, and expend funds exclusively for the restoration, repair, and maintenance of St. Dominic’s Church as a historical landmark. St. Dominic’s Church has been given landmark status by the City of Benicia, and is listed in the Historic American Buildings Survey. Memorial gifts are welcome, and all gifts to the trust are acknowledged. | 2019-04-23T12:24:36Z | http://www.stdombenicia.org/our-church/ |
Cancer has a way of forcing us to consider the inevitable notion of our own death, and whether you want to think about that or not, I want to suggest that it need not be dramatic or discomforting if we choose to simply observe the phenomenon as something both mysterious and certain.
When a lifelong friend told me she had terminal, inoperable cancer I searched long and hard for the genuine and unpretentious words to say, knowing I had only one shot at getting it right. I’ll call her by her first name, Laura.
I hired Laura to work for me in an entertainment agency I started in California back in 1978. We were both in our late 20s. She was talented and fun and did a great comedy routine as “Mae West.” We lost touch over the years, but she reappeared again when my wife was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer, since they had both been good friends. She checked in often as I did my best to be a supportive and loving caregiver for my wife who, despite our best efforts, died at the age of 47 in 1997.
Those of us with a cancer diagnosis, no matter the stage or grade, know all too well that people die from our disease. The end of a life is something we experience with increased frequency as we get older, and also as we come to know more and more people like us with varying degrees of cancer. Of course, many of us live long and fulfilling lives.
I want to share some of the actual words Laura and I exchanged by letter in her final days with some short excerpts, not simply to show the remarkable courage and insight she expressed, but to act as a visible example of how a conversation with a dying friend might evolve. I recall the distress I felt at having to say goodbye in my letter, knowing it would be the last exchange I’d have with her.
I reminded her of a few incidents from our past working as entertainers – things we had laughed over long ago. I spoke briefly about our philosophical views of death and dying.
“My own cancer experience, along with my wife’s, has forever altered how I view life and death, and though I feel a tremendous sadness that you may soon be in another place where perhaps we can no longer be in touch, those feelings are tempered by my unshakable belief that life – just as it is – is absolute perfection. I know from our conversations that in having a complete trust in life’s ultimate plan and purpose as we both do, there is a comfort we feel in this mystery that lies ahead for you and me and all of us. Of course, it’s those we leave behind who suffer – perhaps the most – but life, at least from my perspective, is always about growth, even though it hurts like hell at times.
And finally, though we both had accepted that there was no turning back, I wanted her to know that she would not be forgotten.
Laura died five weeks after we exchanged our letters. Others in my life will die, too. And then one day of course, it will be my turn. And the only thing I know with any certainty is that these goodbyes are sure to repeat time and time again, until one day, that last goodbye will be the one reserved for me.

On one hand Derby County can boast a huge boost financially instead of losses. On the other, the result was only achieved after sale of the stadium for almost 200% of its market value.
This week Derby County revealed its financial results for the 2017/18 season. The club recorded a profit of £14.6 million, which is a great result especially in comparison with the previous campaign, which had ended with £7.9 million in the red.
“It also gives an open opportunity for utilising the stadium for other larger scale entertainment events.
Pearce added: “Selling a stadium is part of the wider strategy for Mel's wider group of companies, in order that he can generate more from other activities outside of football - with technology, with entertainment, etc.
“He's been looking at this for probably the last 18 months. I think it's very clear from his perspective, he wants to look at other opportunities for the stadium, aside from the football club.
“The football club uses the stadium probably 25, 26 days a year for matches, so I think to be able to monetise and generate some more profits outside of that will allow Mel to continue to invest and put those profits back into the football club.
While this can seemingly make sense on the surface, sale of the stadium wasn't necessary to increase non-football revenue, especially if the received revenue was to indeed support Derby Count in the end.
We were also surprised to have learnt the price at which the stadium was sold. While Derby County estimated its value at £41 million, the building was sold for £80 million, nearly twice the price. It was based on an independent valuation.
Also, the deal took place months ago and was only officially revealed now. Such circumstances immediately prompted speculation as to the reasoning behind the sale. Derby County messageboards have fans wondering whether it's a way to evade the Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. Indeed, artificially boosting income in the books is a recognised loophole in FFP and it seems without the stadium transaction Derby County would end up very deep into the red, seeing players' and staff wages exceed £40 million for the first time.
While certainly a viable short term solution, sale of the stadium to a different entity might prove extremely problematic, should club owner Mel Morris leave Derby County. He might then hold on to the stadium as an asset and effectively hold the club hostage in terms of lease or upgrades. While surely a dark and purely hypothetical scenario, such situations have come to fruition in the past, to name just Oxford United and its tenancy at Kassam Stadium. | 2019-04-19T02:43:51Z | http://stadiumdb.com/news/2019/04/england_derby_county_sold_its_stadium |
Researchers in the US investigate a malleable electronic skin, known as e-skin, which can turn skin into a smart interface.
The skin is one of the main organs of the human body. It is capable of sensing pressure, temperature, and many other complex environmental stimuli. Electronic skin, or e-skin, is a thin and flexible wearable device that can mimic the functional and comprehensive properties of human skin. Electronic skin may have various applications in prosthetics, biomedical devices, robotics, and human-computer interfaces. Realizing a multifunctional electronic skin that can satisfy the requirements of transparency, flexibility, and longevity, however, is still facing many challenges.
Scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder in the USA have developed a new type of self-healable and malleable electronic skin. This electronic skin has sensors tightly embedded to detect changes in pressure, flow, temperature, and humidity. What makes it special is that the electronic skin is totally recyclable, by simply soaking the device into an alcohol-based recycling solution.
In the study published recently in the journal Science Advances, Dr. J.L. Xiao and his colleagues were able to introduce a novel type of dynamic covalent bonds in between the polymer network and silver nanoparticles, achieving good thermal and electromechanical properties in an ambient environment. This electronic skin is soft and can conform to complex surfaces, such as human arms or robotic hands.
Most surprisingly, the broken electronic skin can be self-healed to recover its sensing capability and mechanical integrity by simply applying a drop of re-healing agent and hot press. Unlike other conventional thermosetting plastics that cannot be reheated and recycled, this novel electronic skin can completely dissolve in ethanol because of its reversible bond exchange through simultaneous bond forming and breaking reactions within the polymer network. The recycled ingredients can then be used to make a new, functional electronic skin.
Recent advancements in nanotechnology, polymer nanomaterials, and advanced processing methods have enabled dramatic improvements in the capabilities of systems that mimic the function of biological skin. This economical and eco-friendly technology could greatly reduce electronic waste and environmental impact, providing a bright future to reshape the future of robotic devices. Further research is needed to enhance the stretchability of the electronic skin.

This chapter provides information about the clutch and the automatic transmission to enable you to understand the operation of these units, to diagnose problems, and to prescribe corrective action. To obtain more detailed information on the operation and repair of specific units, refer to the specific manufacturer's maintenance and repair manual.
To make practical use of engine power, a coupling device, or clutch, is needed to connect and disconnect the engine from the drive line, as necessary. The clutch or torque converter provides for complete separation of power or at least slippage at an idle. The automatic transmission, like manual transmissions, matches load requirements of the vehicle to the power and speed of the engine.
It is important to briefly review the purpose of the clutch and also the various types of clutches. The clutch permits the operator to couple and uncouple the engine and transmission. When the clutch is in the coupling (or normal running) position, power flows through it from the engine to the transmission. If the transmission is in gear, power flows through to the vehicle wheels, so the vehicle moves. Essentially, the clutch enables the operator to uncouple the engine temporarily, so the gears can be shifted from one forward gear position to another or into reverse or neutral. The flow of power must be interrupted before the gears are shifted; otherwise, gear shifting is extremely difficult if not impossible.
The clutch assembly (fig. 7-1) contains a friction disk (fig. 7-2), or driven plate about a foot in diameter.

Artif Intell Med - A segmentation framework for abdominal organs from CT scans.
JECTIVE: Computed tomography images are becoming an invaluable mean for abdominal organ investigation. In the field of medical image processing, some of the current interests are the automatic diagnosis of liver, spleen, and kidney pathologies, and the 3D volume rendering of these abdominal organs. Their automatic segmentation is the first and fundamental step in all these studies, but it is still an open problem.METHODS: In this paper we propose a fully automatic, gray-level based segmentation framework based on a multiplanar fast marching method. The proposed segmentation scheme is general, and employs only established and not critical anatomical knowledge. For this reason, it can be easily adapted to segment different abdominal organs, by overcoming problems due to the high inter- and intra-patient gray-level, and shape variabilities; the extracted volumes are then combined to produce the final results.RESULTS: The system has been evaluated by computing the symmetric volume overlap (SVO) between the automatically segmented (liver and spleen) volumes and the volumes manually traced by radiological experts. The test dataset is composed of 60 images, where 40 images belong to a private dataset, and 20 images to a public one. Liver segmentation has achieved an average SVO congruent with94, which is comparable to the mean intra- and inter-personal variation (96). Spleen segmentation achieves similar, promising results (SVO congruent with93). The comparison of these results with those achieved by active contour models (SVO congruent with90), and topology adaptive snakes (SVO congruent with92) proves the efficacy of our system.CONCLUSIONS: The described segmentation method is a general framework that can be adapted to segment different abdominal organs, achieving promising segmentation results. It has to be noted that its performance could be further improved by incorporating shape based rules. | 2019-04-19T20:33:27Z | http://telemedicina2.unifesp.br/pubmed/Docs/Index/1119 |
