Lately I’ve been using the phrase “less is more” . It applies to so many things from why I put less sugar in my apple pie to why too many chairs in a room make the space look cluttered.
It’s the phrase I use to explain why it’s better to leave open space on a dinner plate if I want to make what’s on the plate important. It’s why it’s better to wear less make-up and less aftershave.
Yes, less is more applies to many situations including size. Does a piece of artwork have to be large to be important? I say no. Many of my favorite paintings are very small oils, little paintings I could put inside a suitcase and take with me when I moved from Maryland to California. Easily they made the cross-country journey more than once.
“Less is More “ is the title of a national juried art exhibit opening next week at the Mitchell Gallery at St. John’s College in Annapolis. The work was selected by distinguished juror Domenic Iacono, director of Syracuse University Art Galleries You can see all the items in the exhibit, which will be hanging until June 15th online. The profits from exhibit sales will help fund educational programs.
or call 410-626-2536 to purchase a ticket.
I hope to see you there at the Mitchell Gallery on the evening of May 28th so you can decide for yourself if Less is More.
Yesterday I blogged about what I was wearing at this year’s Anne Arundel County Arts Council Mardi Gras Gala but I didn’t write about the event itself. The highlight for me was listening to and watching two wonderful renditions of song and dance routines from the musical “Working” which will be performed this spring by students in the performing arts magnet program in collaboration with the theater department. Particularly outstanding was the soloist in “Just a Housewife.” Part of the money raised by the arts council goes to support educational arts programs in our schools, both public and private, so the entertainment was very appropriate.
Too bad some people couldn’t stop themselves from talking while the kids were performing. This has happened before, at the Annie Awards no less, honoring local artists for their work and support of the arts. I was sitting in the auditorium at St. John’s College, where the event was taking place behind some very noisy people while a string quartet was performing on stage.
Meanwhile, when we wanted to talk to our dinner companions during dinner, the band for dancing was playing too loud. This has happened at a number of events I’ve attended this past year. So any event organizers out there take note. During the dinner hour, if there is music it should be “background music”, low and subdued. I love good music and want to give it my full attention when there is a performance, but sometimes social time should take precedence. Just my humble opinion.
At any rate, kudos to the Arts Council for a great evening with good food and dancing. I hope you made lots of money to support the arts. | 2019-04-25T16:01:52Z | https://nadjamaril.com/category/writing/page/2/ |
The College of Jurisprudence of the University of Kufa, in coordination with the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and al-Abbas, organized a symposium on the rapprochement between the Islamic sects, attended by scholars from al-Azhar and a number of religious figures in Najaf.
“The symposium included the presentation of opinions and perceptions dealing with the Islamic unity and the Sunni-Shia communication and we hope that a lot of achievements can be reached in this regard,” said College Dean Dr. Waleed Farajallah.
Farajallah hoped through this event to seek effective communication between al-Azhar and Iraq, achieve true Islamic unity and to clarify the picture of Shia Islam to the entire world. | 2019-04-20T11:09:59Z | https://im.imamhussain.org/english/allnews/7698 |
Increasing cellular energy is known to improve cellular performance and healing by increasing blood circulation, oxygen saturation, the metabolism, the immune system and other vital processes essential to recover from chronic illnesses, post-operative recovery, wound care, sports performance, and to maintaining good health. The therapy leaves you feeling relaxed and with a sense of wellbeing.
BEMER3000 therapy is so successful as it naturally boosts and balances energy deficiencies by using an exactly dosed pulsating electromagnetic field. It treats the cause, not just the symptom, by effecting self-healing on a cellular level. Cells are energized; the metabolism is activated, and when your cells are healthy – you are healthy and the often painful symptoms are alleviated if not removed completely.
Every disease starts with an energy deficiency in the cell!
Health and vitality are based on interactions that take place at a molecular level and provide the substances and energy which are absolutely necessary to maintain life. In the end, these interactions act as mechanisms of regulation in order to optimize the given vital processes. They deliver the necessary energy and substances to the points they are needed throughout the entire organism. As such, these functioning regulatory mechanisms maintain, within certain correctable limits, the natural balance within the organism – health, in other words.
All forms and therapeutic and preventive measures have basically one aim: to support those natural processes of regulation that serve to maintain our health. Treatments are designed and implemented in order to eliminate deficiencies in substances or energy; they are based on the broad application of methods that are able to affect physical-chemical interactions in very general terms (concentration of a substance, state of activation and reactivity, temperature, pH value, catalysts, and other such factors). Of all these therapies, it is the non-invasive use of physical therapy with appropriate electromagnetic fields that is becoming increasingly important. It is based on the dynamic effects created between electrical, magnetic and/or electromagnetic fields and charges in motion – and the impact these effects have on the configuration of electrons. By these means, electromagnetic field therapy concentrates on creating the type of energy environment that is needed in order to ensure that chemical reactions are able to take place. These chemical-physical processes provide crystal-clear indications that the organism can better supply itself and dispose of waste, enhance its circulation, improve the activities of its cells – all in order to support and activate the body’s natural regulatory defense mechanisms.
Because the charge carriers have varying molecular masses, a particular structure, a tendency to interact with one another and considerable inertia against mechanical acceleration, the physical success of this type of activation is heavily dependent on the changes in intensity over time in the electromagnetic fields being applied. In other words, the spectrum breadth and the intensity of the stimulating signals in use are key to this process.
However, the stimulating signals used in conventional therapy devices – generally sinusoidal, trapezoidal, saw tooth or similarly structured – are limited to areas relatively small in sized because their bandwidth is so narrow. Significant progress was made in 1998, however, when the special BEMER stimulating signal was developed; it enabled every individual impulse to contain a broad range of stimulation options. By inventing the patented BEMER signal, Prof. Dr. Wolf A. Kafka created a therapy system that was nothing less than revolutionary in nature: Bio-Electro-Magnetic Energy Regulation therapy. It is a pioneer among electromagnetic-field therapy systems – even for purposes of prevention – in medical and clinical practice as well as for rehabilitation, professional sports and home use. | 2019-04-24T04:23:34Z | https://www.zenhealyng.com/technology/bemer-2/ |
The first week of the CIS postseason was certainly dramatic, with buzzer beaters, close games and breakout performances. Some of the nation's top 10 teams have already said goodbye to the 2011-12 season, and with this week being the final edition of the official CIS rankings, we'll take a look at what's gone right and wrong so far this year for the nation's best teams.
The Carletons didn't look all that dominant in their 2012 playoff debut, letting a scrappy Laurentian team stick around for the first half on the strength of CIS-leading scorer Manny Pasquale's 34 points. They went an uncharacteristic 6-for-24 from downtown, and though that wasn't enough for the Voyageurs, one has to wonder if they can get away with that kind of shooting performance against McMaster on Friday or (presumably) Lakehead on Saturday. This season the Ravens have lived by the three-ball, and they'll need to do better from range if they want to keep their dominant season chugging along.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: Kinda everything. Phil Scrubb has been dominant with the ball, Tyson Hinz is continuing to make defensive scheming a nightmare for opposing coaches and Willy Manigat and Elliot Thompson have spread the floor with their solid shooting. They're also pretty good on defense.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: I'm reaching here, but Justin Shaver, who could be an impact player in this league, hasn't cracked Dave Smart's rotation over dependable veterans Kyle Smendziuk, Kevin Churchill and Thomas Scrubb. Sometimes to send a message to other teams they're already beating that the Carletons are really, really good, Smart will have a veteran player give a rookie a slap on the chest or a stern warning to box out or defend better. I saw Cole Hobin do exactly that to Shaver earlier this year and it doesn't look like he's improved enough to the point Smart feels comfortable playing him over his trusty vets. Again, I'm nitpicking here, but this also says a lot about how good Carleton expects everyone to be.
Like their eastern rivals in Ottawa, the Thunderwolves also left a bit to be desired in their OUA quarterfinal, letting a surprising Guelph team hang around a while longer than expected. They'll be facing a high-energy Ryerson team on Friday that could give them similar problems, although it was a total drubbing when the teams met in the fall.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: Ben Johnson has emerged as a deadly three-point shooter (54.5 %) and Lakehead's balanced attack has been tough to adapt to for defences all year.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: They've lost two games by a total of six points all year, so not a whole lot.
It wasn't necessarily the way they wanted it to happen, but Barry Rawlyk's Huskies are through the first hurdle and will now host the Canada West Final Four on a court they've lost exactly zero games on this year. The Huskies beat Trinity Western thanks mainly to two hero games from Jamelle Barrett, who looks absolutely terrifying coming into the playoffs.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: The Huskies are peaking at the right time behind Barrett, who is playing some obscenely efficient ball on the offensive end. In the two wins over TWU, Barrett scored a Carleton-like 1.22 points per possession, going 29/44 for 77 points while adding 19 assists. After struggling with some nagging injuries earlier in the year, a now-healthy Barrett is playing arguably better than any single player in the CIS.
In addition, Michael Lieffers has become arguably the best rebounder in the country and Matthew Forbes has adjusted beautifully to his new starting role.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: Forward Nolan Brudehl's season-ending injury. The veteran big man was a huge part of Sasky's brilliant runs the past two seasons and will be missed in this year's attempt.
Well this was pretty freaking awesome, perhaps the play of the year in the CIS so far this year.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: The Cascades have gone from a fringe Top-10 team to start the year to a legitimate national contender. They've won 9 of 10 games over a very tough schedule coming into the Final Four and look so, so tough to beat. Their top-4 ranking is an all-time high for the program.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: A 5-4 record away from home. Granted, they've played three top-10 teams for four of those games, but they'll have to deal without the friendly confines of home for their season to continue.
If Friesen's game-winner for UFV above isn't the play of the year in the CIS, Terrell Evans' series-winning tip-in might be. The Vikes survived a suddenly formidable challenge from the Calgary Dinos and their fifth-year duo of Tyler Fidler and Boris Bakovic and punched their ticket to the prairies. The all-Pacific matchup of Vic and UFV in the first round should be a doozie.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: Ryan MacKinnon's All-Canadian-caliber season has been phenomenal and the reason Victoria's got a chance to return to nationals this season.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: A shaky start to the second semester (2-3, including a loss to Winnipeg) brought up questions about the team's ability to defend, though it should be mentioned they also beat Alberta and UFV in that stretch.
All is well in Antigonish as X has won seven straight to lock up a first-round bye and the top seed in the AUS tournament. After a shaky start 4-4 to January, they look like the top dog out east.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: The loss of graduates Charlie Spurr and Christian Upshaw has been eased by the rise of Jeremy Dunn and Terry Thomas as well as the steady presence of point guard Tyrell Vernon. Also, coach Steve Konchalski won his 1,424,567th game as coach.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: A little bit of mini-turmoil when Thomas and others went to the bar within three nights of a game, leading to a suspension and a blowout loss against UPEI.
Another team that's unbeaten at home this year (in a fancy new arena, too), the Golden Bears return to the Final Four for the second consecutive year with their eye on taking their season a step further thanks to a drubbing of UBC that hasn't been seen in a long time.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: Jordan Baker and Daniel Ferguson have been really good at playing basketball. Recently, Sahr Saffa has joined them, slaying UBC with 41 points on 16/29 shooting in the two playoff wins over the Thunderbirds.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: A 4-6 away record and the occasional off night from Baker and Ferguson has dotted Alberta's record every now and then.
It's too bad the Marauders will have to face Carleton in the first round of the Final Four - much to the chagrin of Chris Oliver - this Friday, because if they lose (and they probably will; I can't be that much of a homer) their remarkable second half run will come to an end. Their playoff win over Windsor was their ninth victory in a row, and the development of Amos Connolly's young team has been one of the surprise stories of 2012. Six of Mac's rotation players are in first- or second-year, including OUA West Rookie of the Year candidate Adam Presutti.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: The rookies have been solid and the defence has been tenacious.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: Victor Raso, who has had a solid season shooting threes and being Mac's most vocal player, still hasn't played since suffering a concussion on Feb. 8 against Western. They'll need his smart play and ability to spread the floor if they want to give Carleton a run for their money on Friday.
The Stingers hop back into the top-10 this week thanks mainly to Laurier's collapse and UBC's playoff exit. Still, they're clearly the class of Quebec and are now "looking to win the war" that is the RSEQ playoffs.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: The Stingers are less of a one-man attack led by Kyle Desmarais than last year, with Decee Krah and QUBL Player of the Year Evens Laroche making Concordia some kind of three-headed, venomous insect of doom and three-point shooting.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: Not much, and the Stingers are on cruise control heading into the postseason. Outside of Carleton, they might be the best guarantee to make nationals.
Well, this is an unfamiliar position. Outside of Carleton, the Thunderbirds have been the most consistently great program over the past few seasons, including runs to the national championship game in 2009 and 2011 and the national semi-finals last year. To not have UBC in the Canada West Final Four this year is weird.
WHAT'S GONE RIGHT: Nathan Yu did it all for UBC this year, scoring, distributing and playing solid defense. He was basically a poor man's Barrett, winning games for the Thunderbirds sometimes on his own.
WHAT'S GONE WRONG: Yu is a nice player, but the fact he had to do so much is an indictment of the lack of depth UBC had this year. They really missed Alex Murphy's stead hand at the point and Josh Whyte's ability to move defences.
1. Carleton - The season begins, in earnest, now.
2. Saskatchewan - Barrett is on a mission.
3. Lakehead - Will get a chance to defend their OUA title (remember that?) this weekend.
4. UFV - Joel Friesen's shot was awesome.
5. Victoria - Terrell Evans' shot was also awesome.
6. Alberta - Can they win away from home?
7. McMaster - Can they bring enough fans to Waterloo to make a difference against Carleton?
9. UBC - They took one on the chin against Alberta.
10. Concordia - Are they better than Acadia or Ryerson? Maybe.
THE "YOU WANT ME TO SHOOT? OKAY." LINE OF THE WEEK: Barrett's beast mode game to oust Trinity Western was a classic: 15/23, 41 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds with just three turnovers. That's an all-time great line.
1. Carleton gets revenge on Lakehead, beating them 75-65 in the Wilson Cup game.
2. Saskatchewan runs away from UFV in the Canada West final, 110-88.
3. Acadia upsets St. FX in the AUS title game and punches a ticket to nationals.
4. Concordia edges McGill in a tight battle for RSEQ honours, 65-61.
im not sure saskatchewan will win against alberta in final four this weekend?
They're undefeated at home and Barrett is playing out of his mind. I think they'll be okay.
I'm not saying it's a done deal. That's why the play the games, etc. But the GBs struggled away from home and Saskatchewan is clearly playing the best they've played all season.
do sask automatically qualify since they are hosting final four?
No, they beat Trinity Western in a best-of-three series, as I wrote above.
As one who goes to a lot of Carleton games I have to think that their biggest problem is that their regular season schedule, where they went 22/0, is their biggest obstacle. Seriously, RMC would have trouble competing in a beer league and, with a couple of exceptions, Lakehead comes to mind, Carleton would have been 20 plus faves in every game they played this season.
I think that is one of the reasons that Laurentian gave Carleton a wee bit of a scare last week and is a reason that the teams in the West may be a bit more prepared for Halifax. | 2019-04-22T00:45:28Z | http://www.cisblog.ca/2012/02/mens-basketball-top-10-tracker.html |
There’s this interesting thread right now on Reddit’s /r/gallifrey subreddit where we were asked to rank all the Doctor Who series finales since 2010. Check out the discussion, it’s great. I haven’t contributed to the thread myself because I needed time to collect my thoughts on the series finales. Also, I haven’t seen most of the episodes in ages.
Now that I’ve had time to think about it, here’s what I thought of all the Doctor Who series finales. Of course, if you’re not caught up with Doctor Who, I’ll have to warn you: THERE ARE SPOILERS.
Face The Raven/Heaven Sent/Hell Bent – I still can’t get over how perfect this three-part finale was. We’ve seen the Doctor put through the gauntlet lots of times in the revived series, but never on this level – losing a companion, and before he can even process Clara dying, he was suddenly kept prisoner for billions of years, dying over and over again until he manages to punch through a wall of material harder than diamond. Let’s not even forget that he manages to overthrow the Lord President of Gallifrey and subsequently escape by stealing a TARDIS all over again. Of course, having Clara wiped from his memory is another level of heartbreaking as well. This trilogy is an absolute masterpiece.
The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang – Man, wasn’t Moffat bristling with ideas here? He managed to stretch a single Dalek chase into the bulk of an episode, and somehow this story with just the main cast and shot mostly in a single location turns into one of the most epic endings in all of Who. This is still, well, now demoted to my second-favorite series (mainly because series 9 is just so strong), and this finale is one of the biggest reasons why.
Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways – The game show parodies from the Bad Wolf did not age well, to be honest. Thank goodness we just have the Daleks in full force, totally brutal, and forcing Eccleston’s Doctor, fresh off the trauma of the Time War, to confront his actions and reaffirm that he’d rather be a coward, anytime. Such a satisfying ending, and we still have one of the best regenerations ever.
Dark Water/Death in Heaven – In many ways, this finale suffers from the same excesses that plagued Moffat’s writing from the latter part of Matt Smith’s run – it was bloated and full of ideas that were never fully explored, but I really enjoyed the exploration of death and Peter Capaldi’s attempts to steer the Doctor into a more stripped-down direction. Plus, Missy elevates these episodes so, so, so, much.
The Name of the Doctor – We probably could’ve gotten more out of it if Matt Smith did not injure his leg, but I enjoyed this. Sure, I felt that the Clara reveal could have been better, but the montage of her echoes encountering the different Doctors was well-done. My biggest complaint is that it served as a lead-up to The Day of the Doctor, which hurt the episode as a series finale. But hey, we got the War Doctor reveal, which gave me shivers.
Utopia/The Sound of Drums/The Last of the Time Lords – The harrowing Master trilogy of series 3 was great. I loved everything about this – yes, especially Martha, who I feel has received undeserved hatred from the fandom – right until the Super Saiyan Jesus Doctor part. David Tennant’s 10th Doctor giving his forgiveness to the Master was a great idea. Too bad we had to see the entire world praying to him for it to happen.
The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End – I would rank this higher due to Donna’s exit, which is the most heartbreaking exit ever. But I felt that the whole premise of the finale was hokey, Tennant’s fake regeneration was a cop-out, and Daleks as the big baddie of the series has finally worn out its welcome at this point. Thank goodness Doctor-Donna and all the fun she brought really made up for it.
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday – I did not like Rose at all. She’s probably my least favorite New Who companion. But boy did they give her an exit. This is RTD at the top of his game in hurting our feelings, giving us the second-best heartbreaking companion exit of his run. Too bad her exit was the only memorable thing about this finale.
The Wedding of River Song – Setting up the whole finale in an alternate universe, for me, really took away all the urgency it was trying to establish. If there was one episode that deserved to be a two-parter for it to fully explore the ideas it presented, it would be this one. It felt rushed and haphazard, and the actual wedding did not feel like it carried real weight – so the Doctor wed River so she’d stop being a petulant child and save the universe? I did not enjoy thinking about that. But hey, the Tessalecta twist was great. I honestly never saw that one coming.
So that’s what I thought of all the Doctor Who series finales so far. Do you agree with my rankings? Let’s talk about it in the comments! | 2019-04-20T09:22:06Z | https://blog.ademagnaye.com/doctor-who-finale-ranking/ |
In 1993 New Zealanders voted to replace their traditional first past the post (FPP) voting system with mixed member proportional representation (MMP). Eighteen years on, as Kiwis voted in a new electoral referendum, we explore how and why that dramatic reform came about.
From 1853 until 1993 (apart from 1908–13) New Zealand elections were held under the first past the post (FPP) or plurality system.
During the 1981 and 1984 campaigns, Labour promised to set up a Royal Commission to look into a wide range of issues relating to the electoral system.
The three years following the 1993 referendum, before the first MMP election in 1996, were ones of transition and uncertainty.
After the colour and controversy of the 1850s, election days in New Zealand have generally been orderly affairs. Even so, election nights could still be lively occasions.
Given the printing technology of the time, early election posters and hoardings were inevitably simple.
Electoral advertising was transformed first by radio, and later by television.

8th grader Anya’s class connected with the Bay through Save The Bay’s Restoration Education Program. Watch her story.
Budding Bay Saver Anya Tucker is busy. From writing her first science fiction novel to persuasively advocating for a healthy environment, she is an impressive example of what’s possible when you invest in the next generation of creative problem solvers, scientists, and stewards.
An 8th grader from Oakland’s Julia Morgan School for Girls, Anya’s class spent a day doing tidal marsh restoration work and studying the science of the San Francisco Bay with us in April.
Her teacher Jess Dang connected with Save The Bay when she was looking for real-world science opportunities for the school’s Go Girl! Leadership program. “Quality, hands-on science is so important for youth, but girls especially. Even though the achievement gap is being closed in schools, women still lag behind men in engineering, math and science careers,” says Dang.
When Kay Kerr, Sylvia McLaughlin, and Esther Gulick founded Save The Bay in 1961, women made up just 7.3 percent of the United States’ Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) PhDs.
We’ve come a long way since then. Today, 41 percent of STEM PhDs are women. It’s a heartening statistic, but a PhD does not translate into a life in science and community leadership. When it comes to the actual STEM workforce, only 27 percent are women.
At Save The Bay, we are grateful for the strong, passionate scientists on our team who foster an educational experience that emphasizes creativity, inquiry and getting your hands dirty to restore tidal marsh one seedling at a time. Every year, 2,000 youth join us on the shorelines and tidal marshes, and through our work we hope to inspire the next generation of Bay scientists and stewards.
Save The Bay is always looking for new ways to share the stories of our restoration programs, so we were excited to use Adobe Voice to transform Jess and Anya’s experience into the video above.
Notes from the Field | Summer Starts in the Marsh!
As the 2012-2013 school year comes to a close, and we welcome summer, Save The Bay’s habitat restoration team temporarily says goodbye to many of the school groups that worked with us this year.
As I reflect on the students’ huge contribution to restoring the Bay shoreline, and all the hard work, I am incredibly proud to have the opportunity to work with such a committed group of students and teachers.
While engaging in direct, hands-on restoration of the Bay shoreline, students discover different aspects of the San Francisco Bay through soil sampling, species identification, and a variety of other fun activities.
Even though the school year is over, there are still plenty of opportunities for Bay Area youth to get out on the Bay. We welcome summer students from camps and enrichment programs throughout the Bay Area. If you’re interested in joining us for a marsh adventure this summer, contact restoration education specialist Jess Madding at jmadding@saveSFbay.org.
The students work to repopulate native plants along the MLK Shoreline.
Last month I attended one of our Restoration Education Programs, where our restoration team partnered with a local school to take 6th graders out to the Bay for a day of hands-on learning. After everyone had arrived and circled up a thought formed in my brain (and I know I wasn’t alone in this) – it was early and cold, didn’t everyone want to just go inside?
But, as the sun made its appearance and my coffee kicked in, the thought faded. The restoration staff had set up a scavenger hunt with facts about plants, the shoreline, and local wildlife. The kids were really excited about finding these nuggets of wisdom and they all wanted to read the facts out loud, but only a lucky few got the privilege. We wound our way down to the planting site and, after an early lunch, got to the event of the afternoon — planting! I was impressed to see the kids get straight to it without complaining and with gusto. Each student was asked to plant 10 seedlings, and most were determined to meet that goal — taking buckets of mulch and water, and prepared seedlings to the flagged spots.
I meandered about helping kids lay down the mulch and giving out compliments on their newly planted natives. I planted a few of my own baby plants in the ground and eventually the time came to clean up. Slowly everything was put back in its place and the students and restoration crew circled up to say goodbye. This particular class had been taught to do “appreciations” at the end of the school day and they were all eager to thank the crew.
At least once a week, our restoration crew takes kids out to the Bay to show them what it is we are trying to protect. And if all days go like this day did, hundreds of seedlings get planted and a number of happy students get to have a hand in restoring the Bay.
We are currently booking school programs for April and May. Learn more here.
Throughout the school year, Save The Bay runs programs with high school students and I always greatly enjoy working with this age group. I am particularly impressed when young people choose to spend a portion of their weekend volunteering to help preserve our tidal marshes. Amid homework, sports games, SATs, college applications, and a number of other activities, these students have set aside time to give back to their community.
Check out these photos of high school students hard at work restoring our sites at Eden Landing in Hayward and Byxbee Park in the Palo Alto Baylands. We are so inspired by their enthusiasm for restoring San Francisco Bay!
Join us in the marsh to find out which edible plants Fernando has been enjoying! | 2019-04-24T08:16:22Z | https://blog.savesfbay.org/tag/restoration-education/ |

Maggie Lucas made sure of that when she made her first 3-pointer immediately after tipoff. Her 5 of 8 performance from behind the arc followed a 1 of 6 shooting effort from long range in the last game with South Dakota State.
“It was just an off day,” she said.
Lucas made three of her first five behind-the-arc attempts in under eight minutes and finished with a team-high 21 points. She had more points at halftime (10) than the Highlanders, who trailed 44-9 at the break.
The NJIT total for the opening 20 minutes was the lowest opponent output since Penn State held Rider to seven points in November 2010.
Penn State rushed out to a 14-2 lead in the first five minutes. A two from NJIT’s Kimberly Dweck was all the offense the Highlanders could muster.
Penn State’s defense posed all kinds of problems for NJIT.
Alex Bentley was a big part of that defensive barrage with six steals in the first half.
“Honestly, my teammates helped me out,” Bentley said, adding that pressure from others put her in a position to steal a number of cross-court attempts. Bentley had a season-high eight thefts.
Penn State’s defense also held NJIT leading scorer Rayven Johnson to four points, 14 under her average.
Johnson was 2-for-16 from the field.
Johnson had scored 23 points in the Highlanders’ last game at Virginia Commonwealth.
Four Lady Lions reached double figure in scoring. Nikki Greene had 12 points and Bentley and Edwards had 10 apiece, joining Lucas as offensive leaders. Candice Agee, who played just 12 minutes, was the high scorer off the bench with eight points. Every Lady Lion had an impact on the scoring total.
Finishing the semester by guiding her team to its 10th win against two losses, Washington wasn’t about to give top marks to the Lady Lion performance against the Highlanders (6-7).
Penn State lingered at 63 points after the first six minutes of the second half until a jumper in the paint by Talia East ended the mini drought. The offense sputtered for another five minutes before finally inching to a 69-27 advantage. A layup by Edwards brought a roar from the crowd as the Lady Lions reached 70 points resulting in free McNuggets from McDonald’s in a promotion for game ticket holders. Penn State has passed that 70-point mark five times at home this season.
A 10-day break lies ahead for the Lady Lions, who return to action Jan. 3 in their Big Ten Conference opener with Northwestern.
Notes: Penn State remained undefeated at home and has a 13-game home court win streak. ... The Lady Lions reached double digits in non-conference wins for their third straight season. ... Penn State honored Agee for being a member of the gold-medal winning U.S. Under 18 team. ... Bald Eagle Area High School musicians filled in for the Blue Band and the Penn State cheerleaders. ... The arena camera found Academy Award winner Jon Voight in the audience during the game. | 2019-04-21T22:43:28Z | https://www.centredaily.com/sports/college/penn-state-university/psu-basketball/article42814986.html |

Andrea Sironi Strauβald, Mario Sironi’s nephew suceeded Claudia Gian Ferrari, ex President of the Association Mario Sironi in Milan.
Open every afternoon, on appointment, to researchers and amateurs and also for artwork’s owners looking for authentication, the New President affirms the Institution’s activity: “Our main activity is to examine, study, authenticate and provide documentary evidence to Mario Sironi’s work; to group, catalogue and archive all documentation linked to his artworks and his person. We take care and promote each kind of publication, organize conferences and seminars, promote exhibitions and protect his creativity from counterfeiting and fakes”.
In spite of the authentication service guaranteed by the Association, the President cares to underline that this institution is not active in the art market: “ Our activity concerns exclusively the historical-artistic field. This is the reason why no art dealers have been invited to take part in the association. We really appreciate gallery owners who make an honorable job, and we wish with them a profitable collaboration”.
“This association is a real archive, where historical research is valorized according to the document, which has a main role, as the smallest proof can reveal a new truth:” The archive’s role is to give heritage the possibility to survive; this is why the archive is not less important than the artworks. Without the archive, the artwork is like a body not fed. That is why we firmly think that everything should be conserved. Materials who are not conserved today are those who will lack tomorrow, and this will be an obstacle to knowledge”.
About the cataloguing of this material, we ask Andrea Sironi Strauβald his opinion on politics of online sharing of these precious sources of knowledge: “Technology helps, but projects grow in people’s brains. Personally I feel skeptic about both the idea of an incessant progress and the idea “Burn the candle at both ends”. Internet played an incisive role in relationships with other institutions or museums who hold Sironi’s artworks, the communication and collaboration with them necessary. On the website, in the Museums section, we can find a detailed list of institutions owing artworks by the artist: “This list is constantly uploaded. It is a good form of collaboration, museums give us lists and information about the artworks they own and we direct to them visitors interested in Sironi’s art. Furthemore we organize exhibitions with these museums, mostly scientific, with the aim to discover unknown aspects of Sironi’s work. An emblematic example is “Sironi. Lo Studio dell’Antico” organized last Autumn at Musei Civici in Padova. An exhibition far from the examples of superficiality that is unfortunately quite common these days”.
The same scientific precision is the basis of a remarkable work of authentication led by the Association, both to fight the market of Sironi’s fakes and to be an example in the expertise practice: “Authentication certificates are issued only after an attentive and accurate live examination of the artwork. I decided to completely assume the responsibility of authentication verdicts. I can assume this important role because of the great experience I have had with my grandfather’s artworks: the familiarity of the paintings since I was a child and the application of strict and precise scientific, historical and artistic methods. I waited a long time before releasing certifications: for the Association I started in 2010, after Claudia Gian Ferrari passed away. We cannot act as experts, we still need several years of work and practice”.
The main future project of the Association is the cataloguing of the whole artist’s work, a complex and long work, as Sironi himself had a very extended production, and there is still a lot of material non catalogued yet: “We are now scanning all pictures of published artworks: to group, digitalize, organize in periods, subject matters and destination will be a first indispensable step towards an exhaustive and complete documentation on Mario Sironi”. | 2019-04-20T04:25:11Z | http://news.mytemplart.com/mario-sironi-the-archive-as-artworks-nourishment/ |

After five years of sanctions,Iran is finally to rejoin the global community. The return of Iran should have an effect on international growth through the oil channel but above all, will bring huge changes to Iran itself. International sanctions have impacted the Iranian economy. Two consecutive years of negative growth and runaway inflation have tested Iran’s resistance model to its limit. The lifting of the EU embargo will allow Iran to revive its oil sector and return to the global market. The country is perceived as a new Eldorado, with its 78 million potential consumers. More over, with its huge oil and gas reserves, skilled labour force and strategic location, Iran is holding all the cards to become one of the top emerging economies during the next few years.
The lifting of sanctions, following the P5+1 agreement, will have a significant effect on raising Iran’s output. Coface expects real GDP growth to stand at 3.8% this year. However, moving from autarky to openness is a sharp manoeuvre to manage. The country may face adverse effects from trade liberalisation. The surge in capital inflows and increased oil exports could lead to an exchange rate appreciation that would be a hurdle to the competitiveness of non-oil exports. Indeed, fear of a ‘Dutch Disease syndrome’ remains present over the medium term. The unfavourable global environment and structural problems may delay the gains expected following the removal of sanctions. The rebirth of the oil sector is likely to be slower than projected, due to the lack of investment and the downturn in the oil market. The low price of the oil barrel may cost Iran 2.8% of its GDP if it remains unchanged (i.e. 33 USD/b). Morever, the country’s isolation, obsolete infrastructures and weakened banking system will challenge the positive dynamics of its reintegration into the global world trade market. Nevertheless, there are sectors other than oil that will benefit from the lifting of sanctions such as the automotive industry which, prior to the sanctions era, was the largest car producer in the Middle East. | 2019-04-23T00:26:19Z | http://www.coface.com.tr/HABERLER-YAYINLAR/YAYINLAR/Iran-Panaromasi |

Chad Ochocinco and his News Network are back and doing their thing with Motorola for Super Bowl XLV only this time with a XOOM in hand. Some of you may remember his first attempt to cover last year’s big game alongside a couple of other players as “media” members? Yeah it wasn’t much to follow, but knowing he has a Motorola XOOM with him, we’re expecting to see plenty of it especially with a big Super Bowl ad in the works for Moto. He has asked Darrelle Revis and Gerald McCoy to help him out, so you’ll want to follow them for the next few days on Twitter if you want to spot random XOOM notes.

^ Because He buys far too many Bogarts??
He was deleted as part of a tidy up in the back-end I performing, his comments and are still attributed to him and he wasn't banned.
So just out of curiosity...how long does a person need to be inactive before they are deleted?
I dunno, one minute before he was due back would be about right.
That was the mistake that allowed him to come back.
It looks like a good time for Chris to return. He can replace the room on the forum I have left vacant. He replies well but you need to encourage him to post some new threads also.
Just out of curiosity why weren't The Horror Quiz ( 3.4K ) , The Science Fiction Quiz ( 3.3K ), Actresses Legs Quiz ( 2.7 K ) and War Movies Quiz ( 2.5k ) included in the top ten ? I know you guys aren't that keen on quizzes but really ?
That possibly could turn my disposition from being a grumpy person to a happy little vegemite. I'll wait and see if the proof is in the pudding.
I am about to start a vacation from participating in the forum as at now for an undecided period of time. I need to have a rest.
If you do that, the posting on the forum will decline 90% (at least).
Don't make a snap decision.
Thanks Bruce for being part of the small amount of support that I have received.
I dont understand why the second image is incorrect...surely it can fit much much more and reduce the average diaper changes per day (ADCPD)?
Bruce is also an active supporter of food fights, his judgement turns to custard most days.
Overall I must have been doing something right with quizzes.

Of course we hope our four advertisers, (support them as your first preference when shopping online) feel they are getting their money's worth, page views steadily increase each month - up around 50K each month (last month: 53,760).
I wouldn't place too much significance on Page Views. Its possible that many of these page views could be someone staying for just a second or two. To me, the more important thing would be the number of people who actually participate in a discussion or thread.
Despite that, I think that this forum is the best of all of the movie poster forums.
I wouldn't place too much significance on Page Views. Its possible that many of these page views could be someone staying for just a second or two.
Actually unlike some others such as that old mpf who use bulletin based forum software, our count is the number who click through (one level) and deducts the search engine crawls which other sites tend to count (actually ours doesn't deduct it, it just doesn't count them). Also our site only counts human visitors eg when it says 'X' number of guests (left column) that is a human not a robot crawling the site. But true we don't have a 'time served count'.
To me, the more important thing would be the number of people who actually participate in a discussion or thread.
Thanks John, that means a lot to us (Matt told me to say that), we are a work in progress.

At random times, I'll get a BSOD that says thread_exception_not_handled and the problem will be with atikmdag.sys. It might be during a game, it might be while I'm watching YouTube or it might even be sitting at idle, you don't know when it's going to happen.
All graphics settings are left on default without overclocking or touching anything in them. I've tried turning everything as low as it can go and I've everything on high or settings in-between but it doesn't make a difference.
This is only happening with the Adrenalin drivers, the Crimson drivers work just fine and I'll never get a BSOD.
Before someone says it, I know the system is old. I'm very aware but there's nothing I can do about that right now because I can't afford any kind of upgrade at the moment. I just wanted to share all the details I have because this is ONLY happening with Adrenalin drivers, not Crimson.
I started getting the same BSODs on my Radeon 7750 after installing the latest Adrenalin drivers. Think I'll just rolled back. Before this I haven't even seen a BSOD in like 5 years.
Unfortunately, this is all we can do. As you can see above, we're told to submit a bug. It's not a simple bug, it's an entire series of drivers and you can only pick one specific driver when submitting a bug.
It keeps bugging me to update but nope, not doing it. I've tried the clean install, uninstall, etc. There's a problem with Adrenalin drivers and only the Crimson drivers are working for some of us.
I uninstalled previous Crimson driver with DDu in safe mode, but no lucky => BSOD..
Revert to the last Crimson 17.11.4 and all works fine.. I have report to AMD filling the form..
Serveral people report this issue in this forum, but no reply from AMD..
The Adrenaline Series drivers also crashed my PC with BSOD like 5+ times a day for months, upgrading never helps, nor does uninstalling / re-installing. the only fix is to downgrade back to Crimson series drivers. very disappointing AMD, i been a fan of your products for over a decade.
Against my better judgment, I'm going to try upgrading the driver again.
I've changed hardware and I'm hoping that will make a difference. Just in case, I'm keeping the 17.11.4 installation file though.
I now have a MSI Z370-A Pro motherboard and an i3-8100 CPU. Maybe the old CPU was making it crash. I don't know but I'm going to go ahead and upgrade, even though I fear it'll still do the same thing.
i dont understand why amd would recommend older cards to update to newer drivers.
the driver download platform or autodetect program does nothing but to give you the latest driver. | 2019-04-20T12:25:15Z | https://community.amd.com/thread/224854 |
I understand that each race has its own unique benefits, like elves have a cheaper magic science upgrade and cavemasters create more gold, but what I want to know is by how much. I would like to be able to weigh the benefits of each race more equally.So, what are the benefits of each race (Science discounts, resource production bonuses, etc.) and by how much (how much food does a farmer make, how much gold does a caver mine, how much more tree do trolls chop, how much cheaper is magic for elves)?
Thanks to anyone that can answer this. Plus, if everyone knows the numbers, balancing the races would be way easier.
More specifically, I'm looking for numbers. That link I've checked before, and it does provide a basic background, I would like to know in exact amounts how much everything is discounted, etc. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone will be sharing that.
elves cost like total of 45mil to get to magic lvl 9..
other races im not shure..
it used to be trolls 25% extra lumber production..

French urban freeclimber Alain Robert was arrested on Tuesday (Jan 29), police said, after he scaled one of Manila's tallest towers in his latest high-risk ascent.
The 56-year old adventurer dubbed the "French spiderman" climbed the 47-storey GT Tower without safety equipment, leaving watchers on the ground staring in amazement.
"This is my path, this is my way of living. It is as important to me as eating, sleeping. I need that. It keeps me alive," he told reporters after completing the climb.
His successes include many of the world's tallest skyscrapers and iconic buildings, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai - where he used suction devices and a safety rope as it has no handholds or footholds.
However, in June, he was foiled when he attempted to ascend a Seoul skyscraper, getting more than halfway up the 123-story Lotte World Tower before security forced him to abort. | 2019-04-24T04:06:54Z | http://ednews.net/en/news/interesting/352328-french-spiderman-arrested-after-scaling-manila-skyscraper |

With the advent of globalization and the knowledge economy in the 21th century, the appearance and contents of education are changing. To improve Taiwan' s competitiveness and expedite its educational ideals, the Ministry of Education has drawn up a "Program to Nurture Leaders from Among Senior High School Students". The program is being implemented in three phases. Senior/vocational high schools recommend students with leadership potential and multiple talents to attend a basic incubation camp. Those whose performance puts them in the top third in the basic incubation camp are chosen to enroll in an intermediate incubation camp, and the top third performers from the intermediate incubation camp in turn are chosen to enroll in an advanced incubation camp. Thus the country' s need to develop and stay abreast of internationalization and localization trends can be met, and its quality of education improved and future leaders nurtured.
Ridding of restrictions imposed by standard curricula and finding new educational possibilities for the country' s future leaders. In other words, comprehensive curriculum designs that are student-focused.
Curriculum design and development take into account students' life experiences. The holding of discussions with persons working in industries serves as a means to help develop curricula.
Paying attention to students' needs. Courses and activities not usually available in schools are made available to raise students' interest.
Building databases of senior/vocational high school students' performance and establishing links with colleges and universities in an effort to set up a mechanism to encourage educational excellence.
Leaders cannot be nurtured through standard educational curricula or logical, empirical planning. These curricula must vary from place to place, school to school, and person to person. Consequently, this program must take into consideration individual schools and communities' needs and related scenarios in order to devise curricula with appropriate characteristics.
Enhancing the dialogue mechanism between entities and strengthening interaction and exchange between all participants in an attempt to fully comprehend their thoughts and intentions as the basis for constant correction and growth.
Faced with a world full of changes and a virtual, diverse society, it is essential to flexibly adjust curricula in order to adapt it to the changing world. In addition to nurturing individuals with the ability to solve problems, the program aims to nurture individuals capable of preventing problems from happening.
This program was first launched in 2002 during the summer and winter vacations. Thanks to its sound design, students not only broaden their horizons, but also learn how to help each other and the needy, share, and work together, making it easier for teachers to teach them. We believe this program will benefit both the teachers and students who participate and solid foundations will be laid for the education of individuals and the development of the country. | 2019-04-19T16:33:01Z | https://english.moe.gov.tw/cp-32-14756-8EA73-1.html |
As your morning sickness subsides, you might be feeling the urge to exercise. Prenatal yoga is a great way for you to release the physical and emotional stresses of all that extra work your body and mind is undertaking during pregnancy.
Not only can it help you relax or aid with shortness of breath, it can relieve lower back pain, increase sleep and circulation and make you stronger and more flexible for birth. A prenatal yoga class also has the added benefits of meeting, and sharing your joys and concerns with other pregnant mothers.
Your previous yoga experience: If you have never done yoga before, it is advisable to join a prenatal yoga class. If this is not possible or you are more experienced, it is important that you tell your instructor and check that they are trained to teach prenatal yoga.
Yoga poses: While some poses, such as hip openers or side stretches, are appropriate for pregnancy, others are not. Some to avoid are lying on your back or belly, twisting or overstretching.
Prenatal Yoga Dos and Don’ts.
Stay cool and hydrated: With this in mind many doctors and yoga trainers advise that pregnant women do not practice Bikram Yoga, which is also known as Hot Yoga, as this could lead to pregnancy complications.
Don’t overdo it: Your aim is to relax and relieve stress, not become super fit or flexible. Pace yourself and do what is comfortable for you and for your body.
For many pregnant women not only do they find their inner Zen through prenatal yoga, but it allows them to bond with the beautiful new life forming within. | 2019-04-22T12:20:55Z | http://www.babyonboardbadge.co.uk/on-the-blog/finding-prenatal-zen-through-yoga/ |

A major issue in copy writing is finding a workable balance between writing persuasive copy and keeping the keyword density to a minimum. Keywords are like spice, too little and the dish is bland, too much and dish is not pleasant. It’s the job of the copywriter to find a balance in their writing that is just right for the reader and client alike.
Keywords are necessary in optimization but should not be overused. Overusing keywords causes copy to become more like spam, and search engines think so too. Copywriters must know to be persuasive but not overbearing. At the same time, the job of the copywriter is to get the point across. The easiest way to do this is through keywords. The reason for this is that the keyword is usually the word that suggests to the reader exactly what it is the copywriter is trying to say.
Overusing a keyword can make the copy almost unreadable and may scare potential readers away. True professionals know that to keep a reader’s attention, the copy should be legible and clear. Also, these days, people that go online have become extremely sensitive to anything that may potentially be spam. Scaring them away with the overuse of keywords is counterproductive and goes against everything that copywriting is for.
• Keywords should appear natural. If the keyword is just thrown into the text and shouldn’t be there, it will look artificial to the reader. Place keywords where they would normally appear. A keyword should not appear out of place. This will turn the reader off to what they are reading and possibly cause them to leave the page.
• Do not force keyword placements. If the keyword is relevant to the content then it will naturally come into the writing.
• Don’t sacrifice subject for sake of the keyword. The subject or niche of the writing should be sufficient to support the appearance of the keyword. Keywords should be added to support the subject; the subject should not be there to support keyword placements.
• A normal keyword density is somewhere between the 3% to 5% range. This is not a hard fact, just a general suggestion. The density can be higher as long as the writing does not suffer from it.
Being mindful of keyword usage will not only make the copy more easily readable, it will also keep it natural and therefore more persuasive to readers. Not everyone can achieve this important balance. This is why there are professional copywriting agencies and companies that utilize the talents of people that can write competent copy and achieve that balance. | 2019-04-24T05:55:21Z | https://blog.eclickz.com/persuasive-copywriting-and-keyword-density-balance-works-wonders/ |

Demented Dr. DeMarco has figured out a way to create Astro-Zombies–that is, wildly gyrating actors wearing skull masks. His methods involve organs being removed–usually from lovely women, of course. The Feds want to stop him. Villains led by statuesque Tura Satana want his formula. Most viewers probably wanted their money back. John Carradine plays DeMarco with all the professionalism he can muster. Satana’s costumes showcase the twin talents that made her a Russ Meyer star. She also throws a nasty karate kick, just as her Mexican cohort brandishes a mean switchblade–never let it be said that Ted V. Mikels let a stereotype go by. Another character jokes about “becoming a lush;” that line is in ill taste since co-star Wendell Corey–who died after filming–was suffering from acute alcoholism. On the funny side: there’s never more than one Astro-zombie on screen at any time; must be the local Woolworth’s only had one skull mask in stock. One Astro-zombie manages to lose his “photo cell” and pursues victims while holding a flashlight up to his head to keep going. Toy tanks and robots appear for no logical reason under the credits. Old VHS tapes titled SPACE VAMPIRES ran a mere 77 minutes. I recently saw a 91-minute DVD that featured some surprising bits of cheesecake early on and gore toward the end. | 2019-04-19T09:31:34Z | http://www.bmovienation.com/?p=18064 |
A couple friends and I headed up to the North Shore for a day of exploring. I don’t think we could have picked a colder day if we tried! The air temperature was about -20F which isn’t counting wind chill. Needless to say, we spent a lot of time trying to get warm! These photos go to show that the North Shore is beautiful anytime of year so don’t put off your trip!
Our first stop was Brighton Beach. You can see below what happens when the air temperature is colder than the water temperature…mist! Lots of slipping and sliding around these ice covered rocks but worth it!
Next stop was Gooseberry Falls State Park. In the winter, you can walk right up to the waterfall! Make sure you pay attention to the thin ice warnings though… there is still running water under the ice so be careful. There are some nice little hiking trails right around the visitors center or you can walk all the way down to the lake from here.
We made a quick stop at Split Rock Lighthouse which is apparently free in the winter! Score! It was originally built in the early 1900’s due to shipwrecks along Superior’s rocky shores.
Two Harbors is a cute little town which has these long piers that jut out into Lake Superior. The wind was so strong and it was super icy so we didn’t make it to the end of the pier. Walking out there was the coldest I’ve ever been. No joke!
We headed up to Temperance River State Park which is a beautiful river which flows into Lake Superior. In the summertime, this has great hiking trails where you can see some great waterfalls. There are also huge potholes which have been cut by the river. Think of a giant hole with water in it 🙂 This was as far as we got before turning around to catch the sunset.
We decided to head back to Brighton Beach to catch the sunset!
We headed back into Duluth to catch the tail end of the sunset at Canal Park before heading into the warmth for some much earned dinner.
If you’re dying to see even more pictures from our trip (I narrowed them down. No, seriously) then you can head over to my Flickr page here.
Here’s a map of our little adventure if you’re a visual person like me!
I’ve done the North Shore in winter once and we pretty much stayed right in town and did Christmas shopping, I would love to go up in the thick of winter like this and see all the beauty – great pictures!
Thanks! I would avoid going when it’s -20 but it was so pretty!
Fun memories! I’m happy you documented it!
It was so fun! Now, we’ll have to go in the summer! | 2019-04-21T00:38:23Z | http://duemidwest.com/2016/04/28/exploring-the-north-shore/ |

Recently I went to Palm Springs on Holiday; tree trimming & leaving blowing went on pretty much every single week day, over 50% of the day time; on the property, near our unit, around the pool and golf course. The following week we moved to a friends condo for the remaining 7 days of our, ahem, "holiday." 3 out of 7 of those days included more leave blowing, lawn mowing and tree trimming.
Back home- 2 out of 7 days of the week, more leaf blowing.
I try to not be home when it happens but even if I go to a coffee shop their there too.
Take the time to actually witness a leaf blowing gardener in action- and you may soon be convinced that a lot of their blowing is simply a mindless waste of time. Observe how the machine seems to have a mind of its own - blowing times blow a little here & there, they'll climb right into the thick of a bush & blow. Bottom line- even on holidays I couldn't escape the NOISE. | 2019-04-24T02:17:20Z | https://raisethehammer.org/comment/105455 |

Introduction: For many obese individuals with type II diabetes, pharmaceutical and lifestyle intervention alone or in combination are insufficient methods for glycemic control. The purpose of this study was to determine the percent and number of patients who partially or completely resolved their diabetes post-RYGB as measured by HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and pharmaceutical usage.
Material and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study where 135 patients with type II diabetes were identified from 324 patients who underwent roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery at the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System (Chicago, IL) between June 2008 and June 2015. Partial and complete remissions were based upon American Diabetes Association criteria: Partial remission was defined as HbA1c < 6.5% or FPG 100-125 mg/dL; Complete remission was defined as HbA1c < 5.7% or FPG < 100mg/dL. Glucose levels were classified as follows: Normal glucose (< 100mg/dL), pre-diabetes (100-125 mg/dL) and diabetes (> 125mg/dL). This study also included decreased or discontinued medications as partial and complete remission, respectively. Data was analyzed using SPSS statistical software and p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: In regards to HbA1c, 29% of the diabetic patients achieved partial remission by 3-months. The pre-operative mean HbA1c was 7.8%, recorded by 71% (n=96) of patients. By three-months, 21% (n= 28) achieved partial remission (<6.5%) with a mean HbA1c of 6.2% and at 12-months the mean HbA1c was 5.9%. Eighty-six patients (64%) were lost to follow-up over the 12-month span. As expected, pre-operative mean FPG for non-diabetics was normal (96.9 mg/dL), while the diabetic mean FPG was 147 mg/dL. Three months post-RYGB, diabetics (n=39) reported a 21% decrease mean FPG to 116.6 mg/dL into the pre-diabetic range. Additional data was gathered for decreases or discontinuations in medications past three months. In diabetic patients, 83.7% (n=113) followed up to record pharmaceutical changes during post-operative visits starting at three months. Results revealed that at any follow-up beyond three months post-surgery, 35.4% (n=40) achieved partial remission by decreasing at least one medication while 42% (n=47) achieved complete resolution by discontinuing at least one medication.
Conclusions: Previous research has demonstrated that partial resolution of type II diabetes and decreases in HbA1c, glucose and medications are reasonable outcomes to expect post-surgery. Additional studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up are needed to further examine partial and complete remission of diabetes post RYGB surgery. | 2019-04-23T01:55:26Z | https://www.sages.org/meetings/annual-meeting/abstracts-archive/improvement-in-type-ii-diabetes-post-roux-en-y-gastric-bypass-surgery/ |
In addition to producing his first full album for Sadat X, Diamond D is hard at work on his upcoming sequel to 2015’s The Diam Piece. That album earned the D.I.T.C. co-founder some of the greatest accolades he’s received in the 2000s and 2010s. Still a double-threat extraordinaire, the self-proclaimed “best producer on the mic” stays crafty behind the boards and in the booth. Additionally, D has mentored a host of others. One such disciple of the Diggin’ sound is Kev Brown.
While the D.M.V. native was first heard by many thanks to DJ Jazzy Jeff, he has a close bond with Fat Joe’s mentor too. On the 2015 LP, the pair made “Let The Music Talk,” produced by Diamond. For the 2017 remix, D hands the controls over to Kev, and both men get cozy on the mic device. Within, Brown also talks about how the Ultimate Force co-founder influenced his own technique and style.
Two days ago (February 5), one of Diamond’s influences and friends, David Axelrod, passed away. | 2019-04-23T02:14:33Z | https://ambrosiaforheads.com/2017/02/diamond-d-kev-brown-hip-hop-remix-audio/ |

As I went to Sweden, I decided to keep on working with textiles and wood in a three-dimensional shape (kind of continuing on my former project that is called Experimental structures) but change to larger scale. I was still interested in how soft and hard materials could be combined together and my goal was to continue on creating a movable, transformable object. I was curious about people's possible interaction with these experimental pieces, how they would react to it if they could set it in motion. I decided to approach the experience of sitting as an active interaction between the body and the object. I have asked myself: what could I add as a textile designer to the theme of seating? I wanted the textile to be part of the construction not just a covering material, but still keeping its softness and flexibility. Trying out different ideas, I experimented with many shapes to find the best combination of the two materials. Merging them into one object, I expected them to strengthen each other’s characteristics in order to achieve a textile sculpture which is transformable and moving. Hence why I decided to work with round shapes so it would be a playful object for the person sitting on it. Going for simple shapes and using the Scandinavian color theme helped me to emphasize the structure and the connection between the two materials. | 2019-04-25T17:47:15Z | https://vandorkrisztina.com/lively-chairs |

Eduardo Barboza da Silva (Eduardo Barboza) is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Master Júlio César Pereira and a representative of the GF Team in the sport’s international circuit. One of the top rooster weights of his generation, Eduardo Barboza has conquered medals in important tournaments such as the IBJJF World Championship and Pan American Championship as well as the Rio International Open.
Nickname: “Dudu” – short for Eduardo.
Eduardo Barboza was born on July 11, 1992 in Belford Roxo, a city on the state of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) – Baixada Fluminense.
While growing up Eduardo often suffered from bronchitis, while also developing an introverted disposition. For these reasons Barboza’s father decided to sign him onto a jiu jitsu academy when he was 14 years old, in an attempt to improve his son’s health and force him to interact with other teenagers.
Instrutor Júlio César Almeida, who’s academy was also in Belford Roxo, was Eduardo’s first instructor. During his first few years competing, Barboza’s talent was undeniable and soon Eduardo understood he needed to be in a more competitive environment to succeed at the highest level in this sport.
As a purple belt Eduardo Barbosa decided to join GF Team, one of the biggest academies in Rio de Janeiro, where he quickly started gaining notoriety in jiu jitsu’s international circuit. Eduardo’s rampant career at GFT came to a halt on April 2016 due to a severe hand injury (ligament tear) which required surgery and kept him away from many tournaments that year.
Barboza’s success on the mats earned him his brown and black belts from the hands of Júlio César Pereira – leader of the GFT workgroup. Eduardo’s black belt being tied on September 21, 2016. 4 days after he earned his black belt Barboza was invited to teach in Houston – Texas, where he settled at a GF Team affiliate there. | 2019-04-21T22:36:35Z | https://www.bjjheroes.com/bjj-fighters/eduardo-barboza |

Sunny Abberton, a long-standing member of the Bra Boys surfer gang that calls Sydney’s Maroubra beach its home, delivers a laughably one-sided portrait of his relatives and friends with Bra Boys. A carefully manicured PR video for the infamous Bra Boys surfer community that’s been involved in riots, brawls with police, and a murder investigation during the past decade, Abberton’s film paints his brotherhood—as well as his biological brothers Jai and Koby, who in 2003 faced grave criminal charges relating to the killing of an acquaintance—as charming guys wholly undeserving of the bad rep they’ve received from the media and authorities. Whether the Bra Boys merit vilification or lionization is a question that goes unanswered by this doc, which so thoroughly avoids anything not tinted rose that it amounts to a meaningless exercise in indulgent self-congratulation. Abberton details how Maroubra beach and its cliques have provided surrogate families for kids from broken and/or unhappy homes (including himself and his siblings), along the way arguing that surfer gangs’ wildness is the byproduct of the country’s tumultuous history and a reflection of the beach’s violent waves. What he doesn’t do, however, is even feign interest in acknowledging or addressing the potential culpability of the Bra Boys in their notorious scrapes with the law and neighboring communities, instead simply presenting them as friendly members of a fraternity who promote loyalty, tolerance, altruism, and kindness. In view of this wholesale partiality, Bra Boys—narrated, with an absolute minimum of energy, by Russell Crowe—proves merely an extended commercial for the ragamuffin gang and their hard-charging surfing skills that offers scant basis for audience interest in the first place. | 2019-04-21T20:19:10Z | https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/bra-boys/ |

Hello, everyone. I've created an ipv6 tunnel and can ping and browse ipv6 enabled sites.
I was curious an ran an ipv6 port scan (http://ipv6.chappell-family.com/ipv6tcptest/) with my firewall disabled and i can't ping or rdp my v6 address.
If i create the tunnel on a ubuntu box all ports are exposed to the net. Is it possible v6 tunnels under windows are firewalled by default ?
I think you're comparing apples and oranges here. RDP is disabled by default on Windows, so unless you explicitly enable it, the firewall won't be involved because the service isn't running.
Is there any chance your Win7 station is behind a router or cable modem that's also doing firewalling?
I'm behind a nat ipv4 router. However, i've just brought the tunnel up un my ubuntu box and et voila, ssh open and it replys to ping.
I did some further testing today. I've set up a windows 8 vm, pasted the netsh commands and the rdp port was accessible immediately.
On my windows 7 machine however i was not able to expose the service to the net, without completely disabling the firewall.
Icmp6 needs to be opened explicitly on both windows 7 and 8.
to rule out possible misconfigurations on my production machine.
Can anyone test and confirm or deny this ? | 2019-04-21T08:29:11Z | https://forums.he.net/index.php?topic=2807.0 |

Ceredo, WV is an excellent place to live. It’s got all of the charm and quiet of any small town, but it’s also close enough to the larger city of Henry to have some nearby fun and excitement. Unfortunately, though, Ceredo is neither as developed or as technologically advanced as it could be. In fact, it isn’t even its own “town” really; it’s still unincorporated and is often lumped in as an outlier of Henry. Despite those facts, many people really love living in Ceredo and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else; their only problem, however, is that they have a hard time finding internet service. Most internet providers just haven’t bothered with Ceredo, and the internet service providers that have mostly offer slow, outdated, and unreliable internet options. The one exception to that rule is HughesNet Internet, also known as HughesNet Satellite Internet. Hughesnet is a satellite internet service provider that offers very high speed, very reliable satellite internet to people regardless of where they live, and that extends to people in good old Ceredo!
Why Other Internet Options Just Won’t Do in Ceredo!
People are often unsure about using satellite internet service in Ceredo, usually because they don’t know as much about it as they do about older forms of internet access, such as broadband internet or wireless internet. The truth is, however, that satellite internet companies, such as HughesNet in Ceredo, truly do offer the very best option for securing high speed internet, especially for those living in rural areas like Ceredo, West Virginia. Other options, which may or may not be available for rural internet subscribers, just aren’t as reliable and don’t provide fast internet the way that a satellite internet provider can. Dial-up internet, for example, is so outdated that many modern computers can’t even support it. Plus, dial-up requires you to have a phone line, ties that phone line up when you’re online, and is notorious for slow connections and constant disconnects, internet options Ceredo, WV. Some people think that DSL is a much better option, but when you look at DSL vs. satellite internet, you’ll see that you still need a phone line, and that if you’re not in close proximity to a central switching station, which most people in rural areas aren’t, you’re not likely to fare much better than you would with dial-up in Ceredo. Comparing cable vs satellite internet is even worse, since cable connections need a strong connection to a nearby service center in order to give out good internet signal in Ceredo, West Virginia and to keep speeds from being agonizingly slow . When you grow tired of these options or when you can’t get access to them, give yourself a break by securing surprisingly cheap internet service from the best internet provider around, Hughesnet! HughesNet will even send satellite internet installers to your home at your convenience to set up your service and teach you how to use it; talk about customer support in Ceredo, WV!
HughesNet Internet is truly the only one of the internet providers that absolutely anyone in Ceredo, WV can qualify for, regardless of which area of it they live in. When a person chooses to sign up for Hughesnet Satellite Internet, he or she will be able to connect to the internet absolutely anytime, and other users in the Ceredo home can use the internet service as well. See, unlike other internet service providers and other types of internet, satellite internet is delivered via a satellite that sits in orbit. Because of this fact, when Hughesnet becomes your satellite internet service provider Ceredo, WV, you don’t need to go through some long, complex, and difficult installation process. Instead, a small mini-dish will simply be installed somewhere on your property, and you’ll be given a modem to connect to your computer. After that, you’re good to go; it’s really that simple in Ceredo, WV! You can expect nothing but the very best when you choose to secure your internet service through Hughesnet Internet. Hughesnet Satellite Internet offers the very best speeds of all internet service providers, including download speeds of up to 12 megabits per second, allowing you to download in Ceredo, WVeven the largest picture, movie, and music files in much less time than you could with DSL or other internet providers. A wide variety of customized satellite internet packages are available from Hughesnet in Ceredo, WV; in fact, it’s one of the few satellite internet service provider companies that will actually customize a package specifically to meet your needs. By keeping your best interests in mind at all times, offering great customer service and support, and striving to keep you happy, Hughesnet is easily the best internet service provider in Ceredo, WV, and you should have an experience that “meets” your expectations! | 2019-04-25T10:27:57Z | http://www.mystae.com/hughesnet/west-virginia/c/ceredo/ |

0:07Skip to 0 minutes and 7 secondsThis is Julia Begbie from the KLC School of Design. We're going to look now at concept and colour.
0:20Skip to 0 minutes and 20 secondsWhen she spoke to us, Joa Studholme told us that nature inspires her. And she talks about the memory of a colour of mud on her children's legs. She also used the example of the aubergine, or the eggplant, when talking about inspiration that came to her from nature. And she referred to the dramatic contrast between this plant's shaded, purple-red body and the fresh green stalk, which suggests a ready-made colour palette. Designers and creatives are expected to come up with new colour palettes for each and every job. And clients, quite rightly, expect to get original solutions. So in the same way that Joa referenced nature as a source of ideas, designers also use abstract inspirational references for their projects.
1:16Skip to 1 minute and 16 secondsSo a concept, as used within design, is an abstract inspiration that suggests colour, texture, or a mood that is a relevant visual theme for the brief that the client has given the designer. So how can you use abstract images to help you to create original palettes of colour? So we hope that as you take this course, you might have a particular project in mind-- something creative that you're going to be making or doing. And you'll want to take a new and original approach to colour and not just fall back on old favourites, which is something that all of us are prone to doing. So using a concept image to inspire you could be a great start.
2:08Skip to 2 minutes and 8 secondsOur design students all follow a similar process. First of all, they take time to understand the practical and aesthetic requirements of the client. They carefully think through and they challenge assumptions. So just because something has always been done in a particular way, or just because you're accustomed to having or using a colour in a particular place or location, it doesn't necessarily make this the best or only solution. So there always has to be an element of research, again, to ensure that they approach the project with an open mind and that the student is well-informed.
2:52Skip to 2 minutes and 52 secondsSo once we fully understand the client's needs, their wishes and desires, and the reasons that underlie these, we can start to think about a creative mood for this project.
3:07Skip to 3 minutes and 7 secondsSo let's look at some examples of images that are suggestive of mood.
3:50Skip to 3 minutes and 50 secondsSo hopefully, you'll see from these images that a picture can convey style or mood. And for an architect or designer, concepts influence their projects in many different ways. However, for our purposes on this course, we are thinking just about colour. And I'm going to introduce you to a really easy digital tool that is going to allow you to release the nuance of colour from an image. In this example, I've put the image on the screen through a digital colour extraction tool. And this is a tool called Color Explorer that we'll be introducing you to via a link, as part of another step. So this wonderful online tool, which is free to use, can be used to extract colour from images.
4:43Skip to 4 minutes and 43 secondsAnd it can be really surprising to discover just how many colours are hidden in one photograph. So often, our eyes see an object but don't necessarily pick up on the subtle and discreet colours that they're made up of. If we look a little bit deeper into this image and analyse the basis of the colour scheme, we can see that it's a harmonious scheme, which means that it's made up of colours that are near neighbours on the colour wheel. And in this case, the colours are slightly whitened, perhaps they're even slightly greyed. So they're verging on being tints. But this is a relatively pure palette of colours. Contrast this with the colours extracted from our tranquil and moody landscape image.
5:36Skip to 5 minutes and 36 secondsYou can see that these colours are much less saturated. They are, in fact, shades. On the whole, there is a significant quantity of black in most of these colours.
5:51Skip to 5 minutes and 51 secondsWith this particular colour extraction tool, you can choose the number of colours that you would like to have withdrawn and presented from the image that you upload. And it's very helpful that this tool will break these colours down and give you an RGB reference-- a Red, Green, Blue reference-- for each of the colours that it presents. So our tranquil and moody-- our sophisticated scheme-- is made up of colours that are near neighbours on the colour wheel. So we have started with a harmonious palette of colour, but we've quietened this even further by adding black and creating shades, which knocks back the contrast between colours to an even greater degree.
6:47Skip to 6 minutes and 47 secondsLooking at our third image-- again, this is a harmonious scheme. The colours are near neighbours. But the impact of the colours is greater, because they haven't been blackened to the same extent. So we have some fairly pure hues at play, albeit within the harmonious palette. And these colours combine to create a slightly stronger effect with greater contrast between each of the colours. So this is another harmonious scheme. The colours are purer, and therefore, there is more contrast and slightly more drama than there is from the palette that we saw previously.
7:29Skip to 7 minutes and 29 secondsSo colour extraction is an extremely helpful tool. And the process that we recommend here is the selection of a mood image that conveys the style and mood that you would like to reproduce in the creative scheme that you're developing, and the extraction of colour from that image using a digital tool in order to create a palette from which you can make selection of colour to take forward into your final project. The great thing about the RGB references that this tool provides is that they can be converted online to RAL numbers. And RAL numbers can be used to order paint and other materials.
8:18Skip to 8 minutes and 18 secondsSo the process of moving from an abstract image that inspires you with its combinations of colour, through colour extraction, to a palette of colours that you can then select and take forward to a scheme, to finished product, such as paint and other materials that you can use practically in the realisation of the scheme that you are in the process of creating. This week, we're going to ask you to work with abstract mood images and to try out colour extraction for yourself, if you have access to a computer and have the ability to do this. So we hope that you have fun playing with this creative, but extremely practical and versatile tool.
9:11Skip to 9 minutes and 11 secondsIn the articles associated with this step, we'll be giving you further information on the process with links to the various sites that you might like to try using.
In this video, Lead Educator Julia Begbie discusses what we mean by concept and colour in the design field.
A concept is an abstract inspiration that suggests colour, texture or mood.
You can use online tools to extract the colour palette in an image that inspires you. One example is ColorExplorer. We’ll look at this in more depth later this week. | 2019-04-26T12:21:44Z | https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/power-of-colour/1/steps/122630 |

Ayonika Paul qualified for Rio by winning the silver in the Asian Olympic Qualifying tournament. In 2014 she won a silver at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and a bronze at the ISSF World Cup in Maribor. You might think she has her plate full being an international level shooter, but in between she finds time to pursue a Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering! Her father says, “Khelte khelte kabhi Ph.D. bhi kar legi, pata nahi chalega” (Alongside sport, she may finish her Ph.D. too without anyone noticing). We suspect she has secret access to 48-hour days, and some day her father’s witty remark may actually come true.
The 10m Air Rifle qualifiers featuring Chandela and Paul begin at 5 pm today, soon followed by the finals. Sidhu’s 10m Air Pistol event begins with the qualifiers at 6.30 pm on 7th August, and the finals soon after. Tune in on DD National or STAR Sports, and you may get to watch a medal-winning performance from these talented women. | 2019-04-24T08:09:19Z | http://theladiesfinger.com/womens-shooting-team/ |
This is a fascinating little pin (c.1930’s ?) made from an early plastic. Who made this and why I haven’t a clue. Its shape reminds me of a school achievement medal and maybe it was a creative alternative to the dunce cap. Dotty is short for Dorothy and also means crazy or eccentric, derived from the word dotard that means a person, especially an old person, exhibiting a decline in mental faculties; a weak-minded or foolish old person. I’d hate to think it was an identifier at the old folks home! By the look of the face on this pin I think the person had crazy in mind.
Artist Yayoi Kusama, the Polka Dot Princess, known for her lavish use of dots voluntarily admitted herself to a psychiatric institution in 1977. “Kusama, now 84, has said she realized from childhood she had a mental disorder. Yet in art she found, if not a cure, then the means to “treat” her obsessive-compulsive condition. Everywhere, she saw polka dots: on furniture, in the environment around her, even on her own skin.” On the Health Forum website people are describing a condition that may have been Kusama’s, young children seeing colored dots on things. There is no mention mental illness but one child sounds like she could be. So dotty has nothing to do with dots, though dots might make you dotty. I have to use the word crazy to describe Yayoi Kusama’s environments but in a good way, like Crazy! Wow! Love it! | 2019-04-19T06:56:18Z | https://thursdaysinnywithliz.com/2013/11/14/dotty-means-crazy-kusama-means-dots/ |
SSS in Blender? Easy!!! Tutorial on line.
Working on MakeHuman, we have finally found the most easy and robust way to have sss in human skin.
We have written a short article (it’s WIP !) about how to obtain a good SSS effect using Blender and Gimp.
Take a look, and when you improve the basic tecnique (I’m sure of this!) report me the most impressive images.
broken posted this to his blog a while ago and does virtually the same thing, but all within Blender.
Interesting tut you’ve got there Manuel!
Oh, and I hope makehuman is progresing nicely as it is so useful to me at the moment. Keep up the great work I’m seeing on the Makehuman blog!
We didn’t know about Matt’s article, yes, it’s the same thing, with a faster method than using Gimp. I’ve also tried using nodes, an even better way for me, since with the compositor we can separate the channels and simulate more precisely the different behaviour of the light, and the result can be corrected with RGB curves.
The same model but the sss channel is mixed with the render using the “overlay” method.
maybe it is the light setup, but the SSS does not work on the cylinder at all!
the cylinder is there only to be sure that the node setup in the compositor doesn’t affect other parts of the scene.
Oops, I misread the above node setup, and made a mistaken comment. My bad!
That certainly is looking very close to what I was getting a few years back from my own renderer. You might remember Manuel, I think you saw that too back then on the old yafray forums.
Anyway, as reference, for those that didn’t see it back then, here is what my results looked like for skin, upper left is without sss, the others are various tweaks of the sss method I was using.
As for blurring, you probably want to use a special kind of blur. If you could make a graph of it, it would look like a fast exponential falloff, not like a gaussian blur or any other filters available in blender, but with a sharp peak at it’s center, then decaying fast.
At least, that is what I think it looks like, can’t remember anymore, too long ago.
or viewed through a 3d stereo glasses. I see blue and red edges a lot.
Is it reall SSS or still some kind of fake method?
Ho eeshlo!! Od course I remember your work!
Too bad you have not released it!
Any chance it will make its way into the CVS?
Yesss , i hope too , that this node will be added into the CVS .
Thanks for your nice job Brecht and everybody else for your research :). | 2019-04-25T14:17:14Z | https://blenderartists.org/t/sss-in-blender-easy-tutorial-on-line/387833 |
There are so many days when I have to remind myself to just get through one more day. That's all the energy I have for. But some days, like today, are really encouraging. My patient was in a lot of pain and her nurse didn't realize she had another pain medication prescribed for her. I pointed that out, and in some small ways (like that) I'm starting to really make a difference. I'm starting to take vital signs and document with ease. I'm actually feeling the part now. I did have one funny moment today though when I introduced myself to my patient and started taking her vital signs. Her heart was silent so I tried, as non-nonchalantly as possible, to turn my stethoscope ear piece around without my patient noticing that I had put it in backwards. tee hee.

EXCLUSIVE: Kyle Bornheimer is set to star in ABC’s comedy pilot White Van Man. With him on board, the pilot, originally picked up as cast-contingent, is moving forward to production. Michael Fresco has come on board to direct. The single-camera White Van Man is a blue collar ensemble based on the British format and centers on a man (Bornheimer) who is forced to put his dreams on hold in order to take over the family handyman business from his father. The series takes its name from the UK phrase that describes the stereotype for drivers of light commercial vehicles, often self-employed or owning small businesses such as handyman services. The ABC Studios-produced adaptation of the Adrian Poynton-created original was written by Bobby Bowman who executive produces with Mark Gordon and Andrea Shay.
Earlier this season, Bornheimer, along with his brother Ryan, sold a comedy pitch to ABC with Kyle attached to star and produce. When that project didn’t go to pilot, ABC moved in quickly to keep the always in-demand actor in the fold with an offer for White Van Man. Ever since his breakout starring role on the CBS comedy series Worst Week, like White Van Man also an adaptation of a British format, Bornheimer has been actively pursued for pilots and series. His recent credits include the series Romantically Challenged and Perfect Couples and the pilots Council Of Dads last year and and the untitled Bays/Thomas project in 2010. On the feature side, the actor, repped by CAA and Flutie Entertainment, will next be seen in Bachelorette, which premiered at Sundance, and The Wedding. ICM-repped Fresco has directed the pilots for such quirky single-camera comedy series as Raising Hope, Better Off Ted and most recently, ABC’s freshman hit Suburgatory. | 2019-04-22T20:35:25Z | https://deadline.com/2012/02/kyle-bornheimer-to-star-in-abcs-white-van-man-comedy-pilot-lifts-cast-contingency-227536/ |
A photographic trip report of a short walk we did when we returning home from a weekend trip to Blackpool. We left the motorway at Kendal to skirt the edge of the Lake District – passing by Windermere with a stop at Amblesisde.
From this busy village we took a short walk up Wansfell Pike. We followed a path that lead up past Stock Ghyll Force and out on to the grassy slopes of Wansfell. From the summit of the western end of the hill – Wansfell Pike – we dropped down to the tiny village of Troutbeck. We returned to Ambleside by Skellghyll Wood.
A lovely, short walk, for an all too brief trip to the Lakes.
Lovely pix! All that greenery. Really makes me nostalgic because we have what are more-or-less drought conditions here (though there is no water shortage) in the south. You were lucky with the weather from what I hear from my dad of late!
Yes, we just missed the worst of the weather. We drove through a few flooded stretches of roads in the Scottish Borders and almost got the car stuck in the parking area (a very wet, muddy field) at Broadmeadows Youth Hostel (the oldest YHA in Scotland), but thanakfully got out, We had a few squally showers when in Blackpool, with the rain blowing in off the sea, but overall it was not too bad.
I love the rolling green hills and the little villages and the stone walls!
This is typical scenery of the English Lake District. Small fields with drystone walls and sheep grazing on the short grass.
Beautiful pictures!!!!! Thank you for showing all of them. They are astounding and a great way to show mother nature’s riches. I can only hope that one day, I will get to see them.
Lovely pictures. I went to Ambleside last year but arrived via ferry from Bowness – such a lovely dock to head in following a short bus ride we were in the middle of Ambleside amongst the quaint shops and cafes. It rained the whole time we were there so getting pictures like your here would have been a very long shot. Really nice pictures and article – reminded my of my trip! | 2019-04-21T20:03:32Z | https://swanscot.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/on-the-edge-of-the-lakes/ |
Can’t wait for the IKEA to open in my state sometime next year.
Amazing display! I can't wait to have the space to do something like this.
Just click on the dimensions by their username above the photo. That's how you can look at the full res. Stupid, I know.
Well, i got it from a store in Germany, but i think many shops with decoration stuff gt them.
I saw one at IKEA once but i dont know if they sell the same stuff around the world.
Love the set up. Was hoping to make something similar myself and this gives me a good idea of how the end result will look. | 2019-04-26T12:34:13Z | https://de.myfigurecollection.net/pictures.php?mode=view&pictureId=1840132&tab=comments&page=2 |
While most of our attention has been focused on Greece and its massive debt problem, those keeping a keen eye on the world of business know that, in fact, the whole of Eurozone, is facing a serious challenge to its sheer existence. Although some states, like Germany for instance, emerge better equipped in facing the Eurozone crisis with its low inflation and high productivity, a majority of states face severe challenges in retaining the common currency that was created by a landmark agreement in 1992. Today, a huge majority of Europe's people and businesses use the Euro since it is used not only in the 17 member countries which are officially part of the Eurozone, but also many EU (and some non-EU) nations who have signed treaties with the Eurozone countries or have adopted the currency unilaterally so as to be part of the biggest monetary bloc in the world.
However, a number of governments, especially in Ireland and Greece, sidestepped these obligations – reinforced in the 1998 treaty – by misreporting the budget statistics year after year. It is alleged that though the EU and ECB (European Central Bank) both knew of this deceitful activity, they refrained from chastising the EU members. Trouble broke out in 2009, when a New Greek government admitted that earlier Greek governments had misled the EU about debt on public account. A further blow followed in the shape of Standard and Poor's cut of Greece's sovereign credit rating to BB+ or “junk”, in April 2010.
Matters have worsened since the Iberian countries, Spain and Portugal, have also ended up in the debt net, with Spain's public debt being 72.1% in June 2012 and 92.2% in June 2013. It is feared, with the increased spending, including the bailout money, Spain will end up with a public debt at 100% of GDP by end-2014.
Economic Causes – Some economists, on the other hand, argue that the Eurozone crisis was more due to the economic factors which emerged from the late 2000s. This include the recession of 2008, which affected the European countries a little later but far more severely. It may also have contributed to the bursting of property bubbles in Greece and Spain. In Spain at least, the rising revenue from the property bubble led to the budget absorbing high spending without showing a large deficit or increase in bond yields. Hence, the end of the property boom led to large deficits.
Further, since a number of banks had lent generously, and often without proper scrutiny to the property market, they now suffered massive defaults. To save the banks and the national banking systems, a number of countries took over the bank debts, thus transforming them into public liabilities and hence adding to the debt burden. Secondly, banks, it is alleged, engaged in speculation using borrowed funds, instead of using the deposits they had as prudence demanded. Finally, they have to use their money to fund the government deficits, which leads to further weakening, thus reinforcing the pressure on them and through them, the public finances.
Political Deadlock – What all observers agree upon is that the political divisions in Europe have exacerbated the crisis by preventing scorching and meaningful reforms. The conflict centers around the difference in perspectives between comparatively well-off nations like France and Germany, and the poorer peripheral nations like Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia, etc. Though they have reluctantly agreed to allow their taxpayers to fund part of the bailout to Greece and Spain, the “rich nations”, led by Germany, have done so quite belatedly and without appreciable humor.
Germany also remains steadfastly opposed to any action which will raise its inflation, and since proposals of fiscal union (discussed later) will naturally spread out the inflation among member nations, Germany – the land of the first fiscal union or Zollverein – refuses to be a party to any such discussion.
However, the cause of the Eurozone crisis is essentially that the Eurozone is a monetary union without being a fiscal or political union. Though a political union is unthinkable, Europe has a long standing tradition of fiscal unions, dating back to the Zollverein of the 1820s and the proposed Germany-Austria union a century later. Without them, the Euro flows – though not freely, due to cultural and political barriers – across economies which have varying priorities, inflation level and public liabilities. This creates uncertainty about the value of the Euro and precipitates crisis.
These reasons, by their mutual reinforcement, have created a situation in which some nations like Germany remain highly competitive but refuse to be dragged down by the plight of smaller and weaker economies. The latter, with their highly unproductive industries, high dependence on government spending and inflated government wages, are increasingly at risk of defaulting and thus either falling out of the Eurozone or destroying the Euro's credibility.
Seek Fiscal Union and a Central European Bank With “Firefighter” Capabilities – As mentioned above, a fiscal union, with a central European Bank that actually serves as a central bank rather than as a treaty organization, is needed. Fiscal Union would force all members to adopt taxation and spending policies that will complement each other, and thus prevent the Euro from flowing from less reliable economies to safer havens and thus creating imbalances.
This would require a larger plan in which budgets of each nation would be coordinated. As of now the existing “firefighting” measures allow for peer review of budgets, but it is seldom that sweeping changes suggested are accepted (except when the member is in dire straits, eg. Greece). This reviewing provision will have to be strengthened further till the Eurozone as a whole gets a single budgetary system. Naturally, a unified (or even complementary) budget plan would require a central bank that will not only issue Euros, but will have the powers of intervention in each of the member states to settle perceived irregularities without bias.
However, both of these are seen as infringing on the sovereignty of the states and Germany in particular remains trenchantly opposed to either.
Reduce the value of the Euro – Though essentially a currency of the First World and valued higher vis-a-vis the US dollar, the Eurozone depends upon exports, unlike the US which is essentially a net importer (though this may change in the near future due to changes in dynamics of oil and gas production), and thus needs to keep its currency as low as possible. Industries in a majority of EU nations(Germany and Britain being notable exceptions) cannot compete due to the high wages and social benefits and low productivity which raises production costs. Hence, it is all the more imperative that the Euro remain low, so as to prevent these industries from being hurt. At the same time, the low value of the Euro would discourage imports, and thus provide natural protection to the European industries.
However, the idea of lowering the Euro is considered anathema, with many citing the Chinese model as a reason why it should not be adopted. For all its faults, China, with its controlled renminbi rate, has managed to remain competitive and productive, and is now the second largest economy in the world. The Eurozone leaders, therefore, will do well to take a few pages out of China's economic book.
Send Aid to Greece Along with Direct Intervention – Though this sounds drastic, it was done in the case of Chile in the 1970s, and allowed it to become the richest economy in Latin America. Greece needs direct aid since it is well beyond the point where austerity-linked bailouts can save the day. Though a developed economy and in need of billions of dollars as opposed to the millions that even the most favorably viewed developing nation gets, Greece's position is exceptional and, therefore, needs to be handled with exceptional care.
However, it is another matter if the Greeks, already seething at the stringent austerity measures and budget cuts, would allow direct intrusion into their economy, especially since they have long been used to some of the most generous public sector salaries in the world.
Eurobonds – Essentially an extension of the fiscal and budgetary unions, the Eurobond has long been debated. Also known as European Bonds, Eurobonds would signify the loaning of money to the Eurozone as a whole, which would then decide which country would get what amount. In 2010, two eminent economists, Jakob von Weiszacker and Jacques Delpla, have suggested that about 60% of their debt relative to GDP should be pooled together into the “blue bonds”, which would be issued by the Eurozone jointly.
These would reduce the cost of borrowing while the remainder of debt would form national bonds or “red bonds”, with higher borrowing cost demanding fiscal discipline within the countries concerned. A similar sentiment was echoed in a Green Paper produced by the European Commission in 2011, and EC President Jose Manuel Barroso himself backed the proposal for staggered introduction of Eurobonds in 2012. However, the political imbroglio, which is constant to Europe, has not allowed the Eurobonds to materialize and, therefore, provide stability to the European monetary and debt systems.
Let Greece leave the Eurozone – Though unthinkable due to the disastrous effect it would have on the confidence reposed in the Euro and the Eurozone as a whole, the exit of Greece, or a Greek default, would only be temporary. International markets have suffered repeated sovereign debt defaults without going into fatal convulsions, and it is expected that the Greek exit/default would not have a lasting effect. However, the impact it will have might include sufficient dampening of international confidence in the Euro to drive many of the economies just emerging out of the recession, back into it.
As the above analysis shows, the future of the Euro and the Eurozone has been jeopardized by both external and internal factors, some of which could easily have been prevented had the Europeans not stuck to their anachronistic particularism. As things stand now, the breakup of the Eurozone appears a distinct possibility since the aid available to the troubled countries is not endless, and it is patent that the crises would recur if structural changes, including but not limited to fiscal and budgetary union, are affected. Though the world might hope and aid the Eurozone, the solutions would have to be found from within, and these require strong determination to introduce instruments like a strong Central European Bank and Eurobonds. Only if these are affected in the near future, and with enough sincerity to be self-sustaining, can the threat to the Euro zone be removed.

After two fruitless months in Australia, India decided to free their minds ahead of what could have been their last game of the tour. And it worked.
Nobody at the Bellerive Oval gave them a chance of chasing down Sri Lanka’s gargantuan 320 for four, let alone doing it in less than 40 overs to earn the bonus point and keep alive their hopes of making it to the finals.
However, the Men in Blue did it in style thanks to Virat Kohli, who blasted an unbeaten 133 off 86 balls. With cameos from the other four specialist batsmen, India did the unthinkable by achieving the target off just 36.4 overs.
The victory meant India will prolong their tour by at least three days. But if Australia beat Sri Lanka in the last league tie of the CB Series in Melbourne on Friday, it will be India who will face the hosts in the best-of-three finals.
Victory with a bonus was the only way for India to stay alive and it didn’t come as a surprise when skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni put Sri Lanka in to bat. However, once Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara had feasted on the Indian attack, it looked near-impossible that they would knock off the required 321 runs in 40 overs to earn the bonus point.
A quickfire opening stand was imperative and Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar did just that.
By the time Sehwag holed out to Dilshan at mid-on in the seventh over, the total was already 54 runs. Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir maintained the momentum until Tendulkar was trapped plumb in front trying to flick a Lasith Malinga yorker.
Instead of going for the kill by persisting with Malinga, who had changed ends after being taken for runs in his first three overs, skipper Mahela Jayawardene chose to hold him back for the late burst. And that is where India turned the tide in their favour as Gambhir and Kohli batted sensibly.
After 20 overs, the third wicket pair had taken the total to 160 for two, maintaining the required run rate of eight. With 161 required off the next 20 overs, which included 10 Powerplay overs as Jayawardene had delayed the bowling Powerplay - it effectively turned into a Twenty20 game.
And once Kohli launched an assault on Malinga and Suresh Raina finally put a price on his wicket, it was clear India would not have to take the flight back home on Wednesday.
Kohli was so ferocious that the last 30 balls he faced produced 71 runs. And the 35th over, bowled by Malinga, sealed the deal for India.
Kohli started off with a brace that fetched him his ninth ODI century and followed it up with a six and four boundaries to help India cross 300. | 2019-04-25T06:16:35Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/kohli-s-sizzling-ton-ensures-win-keeps-final-hopes-alive/story-orpAJ05Tq59ayLIFwzjnNK.html |
Migraine is primarily a disease of young, healthy women. Its onset often coincides with the initial period and is triggered by the monthly menses in over 60 percent of females. With this apparent hormonal factor, it is not surprising that oftentimes the frequency and severity of migraine decreases in menopause. A common belief is that migraine will lessen or resolve after menopause. In most cases, this is true. Unfortunately, no change or worsening has been observed in up to 50% of women. This is especially true after surgical menopause, where over two thirds of women's migraines worsen.
As a result of menopause, issues also arise that can affect the treatment process. All patients who have migraines are generally treated abortively (I have a headache. What do I take?). Patients may self-treat using over-the-counter products such as Aleve or Excedrin Migraine. Sometimes combination drugs such as Fioricet are used. Another group of abortive medications, the triptans, is especially designed to treat the pain of migraine, as well as its associated symptoms, including nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. These medications include Imitrex, Maxalt, Zomig, Frova, Amerge, Axert, Relpax, and Treximet. When headaches are frequent or especially debilitating, the patient and physician may agree to utilize prophylactic medication. These drugs, Inderal and Topamax, as well as others, are generally taken daily to prevent headaches.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is widely used in menopausal females to treat hot flashes and other common problems. In these menopausal females, HRT may also prevent headache by stabilizing hormonal fluctuations. Unfortunately, not all women respond to this treatment. However, the results of the Women’s Health Initiative (2002), which showed an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke and heart attack in women using estrogen and progestin, the choice of whether to treat with HRT is not clear. Additionally, migraine does carry a slightly increased risk of stroke compared to patients without migraine. HRT itself is not contraindicated in migrainous women, but it becomes a complex decision based on the patient’s preferences and past medical history. The decision to use HRT should be based on non-headache factors such as the prevention of hot flashes. If headache becomes more frequent or debilitating on HRT, the dose of hormones may be decreased or the dosing schedule changed. Alternately, migraine preventive treatment may be instituted.
Triptans should be used as abortives unless there are absolute contraindications. These include coronary artery disease or uncontrolled hypertension. Also, risk factors for vascular events should be assessed. Menopause and the aging patient are both a concern when deciding whether a triptan is indicated. If these migraine-specific drugs are not an option, an anti-inflammatory (such as Aleve), an anti-nausea drug, or common analgesics are other options. Certainly, if headaches become more severe or more frequent with menopause, or a triptan is contraindicated, preventative medications should be considered. They fall into the broad classes of antidepressants, anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, and beta blockers. Each group has its own benefits. If possible, one should try to treat two conditions with one drug. Mood disorders, particularly anxiety and depression, are much more common in migraine patients because of the deficiency of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is common to both disorders. In the migraine patient with depression, an antidepressant may be the optimal way to treat both conditions. Under no circumstances should a total hysterectomy be proposed as a treatment for migraines. During perimenopause, when hormone levels are fluctuating, headaches often become more severe and frequent. These are particularly difficult to treat and preventive medications may be a reasonable option.
Wellness should be a cornerstone of treatment for all patients. Wellness includes taking good care of your body and your mind. Developing regular sleep hours with adequate sleep time, eating healthy foods and not skipping meals are key. An exercise program with input from your physician is helpful in decreasing headache and relieving stress. Carving out your own time is paramount for wellness. Vitamin B2 and other natural substances may be helpful. Always make your physician aware if you are taking nontraditional drugs as they may interact with your more conventional medications.
Migraine in menopause may be a challenging condition at times, but there are multiple options which are suitable for each patient after addressing their medical conditions, lifestyle, and their own preferences. Talk with your physician to learn what options are best for you. | 2019-04-23T16:42:58Z | https://www.mainlinehealth.org/blog/2009/10/14/migraine-in-menopause |
To mark International Day of Peace, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and its partner Solidarity Now, today took 30 refugees for a free tour of the White Tower, the imposing seaside symbol of Thessaloniki. The visitors all live in apartments managed by Solidarity Now under ESTIA, the Emergency Support to Integration and Accommodation programme, which is implemented by UNHCR and funded by the European Commission.
After visiting the museum inside the tower, the group stood on the ramparts of the White Tower with other visitors, held hands and made peace signs to send a message of togetherness and global peace.
At UNHCR`s request, the Museum of Byzantine Culture, which is the responsible authority for the White Tower, waived the entrance fee.
International Day of Peace is celebrated every year on 21 September. | 2019-04-20T11:30:18Z | https://www.clickanddonate.gr/marking-international-day-of-peace-with-refugees-in-thessaloniki/ |

As personal injury lawyers in Chino, we know that people have a tendency to wait to seek representation for their injuries. They do this in fear of any financial ramifications they feel may set them back. However, not contacting and hiring a personal injury lawyer after your accident can have even more significant ramifications than if you decided to take on your case alone. However, if you have a personal injury attorney at Silverthorne Attorneys, you don’t have to worry about finances or being take advantage of by the insurance companies.
The team at Silverthorne Attorneys has been serving the people of Chino since opening our practice in 2012. In this time we have been able to recover multiple seven-figure settlements for our clients who have suffered from injuries due to car accidents, dog bites, slip-and-falls, and even those who have lost a loved one due to a wrongful death.
When you are in need of a team of personal injury lawyers in Chino who will not only look out for your best interests but will make sure that you and your family are taken care of, contact us to discuss your case. Consultations are free!
It probably isn’t a surprise to you that insurance companies are often very unfair. While most people realize that dealing with their own insurance can be a hassle, that is nothing compared to what it is like to try to get a fair settlement out of an at-fault party’s insurance company.
The car accident lawyers at Silverthorne Attorneys has years of experience taking on the insurance companies and winning. We are all too familiar with their bullying tactics and this is one of the main reasons why we always advise anyone to seek representation.
Insurance companies are a business and they are in the business of making money; which means that they will do everything in their power to get you to settle prematurely or to lowball your settlement. If they payout for your settlement, the insurance company will lose money; which means that then insurance coverage rates for the company’s insured goes up.
If you take on your case alone, the insurance companies will try to talk you into settling your claim right away; even when you have not yet completed treatment. At Silverthorne Attorneys, we like to wait until our clients have finished their treatment before we put together a demand for settlement. The reason we do this is because we are not going to know the full scale of what your case is worth until you complete treatment. We also want to weigh-in whether or not your injuries are going to impact your life and your ability to financially provide for your family into our demand for settlement.
Once you’ve submitted a claim against an at-fault party’s insurance, the defendant’s agent will do everything they can to get you to admit to fault. You need to understand that all of your calls will be recorded. Unlike other companies that use these recordings for training, insurance agents use them as evidence that your story and injuries are fake or exaggerated. Even a simple statement of regret can be used to imply that you bear some of the guilt for the incident.
When every word you say can be used against your case, the safest option is to route all communications with the insurance company through your accident lawyer. This guarantees that nothing will be said that can be used against you.
Another tactic commonly employed by agents is to “check in” and ask how you are doing. Quite simply, they are looking for you to say something that implies your injury isn’t severe enough to need continued medical care and compensation.
When you hire our firm to represent you in your personal injury claim, we do not charge hourly nor do we ask for any of our fees up-front. This is because all of the car accident attorneys in our office work on what is called a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee agreement is something that you will sign once you hire our firm to represent you for your injuries. This agreement states that we will not collect on our fees until we are able to get you an adequate settlement in your case. And if we are unable to get you any compensation for your accident, you will never have to pay our fees. Simply put, if you don’t get paid we don’t get paid. So, in the long run, there actually is not a financial downside to hiring Silverthorne Attorneys to represent you.
Although an experienced personal injury lawyer has seen even routine medical costs deemed as “unnecessary” in attempts to avoid paying, pain and suffering is the category of compensation that insurance companies usually fight the hardest. This type of award is applicable if you have residual physical or emotional trauma that isn’t easily treated with short-term medical care.
Scars, reduction of bodily function, depression, and suffering from pain that interferes with your life all fall under this topic. If you are suffering from these issues, you deserve to be compensated for them because of the serious impact they can have on your life. However, it is almost impossible to attain without a diligent injury attorney advocating for you.
When our clients are too severely injured to travel, we will happily travel to them. Our office is dedicated to making sure that everyone who has been wronged has access to a professional bodily injury lawyer, regardless of their ability to travel.
If you have serious injuries and can’t make the trip to visit a local law firm, please contact us to learn more about how we can help.
We Advocate for You and Your Family!
Being an advocate means more to our staff than just being a personal injury attorney. It means that we firmly believe in being a strong defender of you and your rights. We want to make sure that you are treated fairly and we are willing to put in the work to make sure that you get what you need to recover and reclaim all that was lost.
We know just how hard this process can be for you, and we want to do everything we can to support you. This includes doing our best to help you understand and approve your legal options. Doing what is best for your unique circumstances is very important to us.
Do not hesitate to contact our Chino office to discuss the details of your case. Consultations with one of our personal injury lawyers are free! | 2019-04-19T12:55:04Z | https://www.silverthorneattorneys.com/san-bernardino-county/chino/ |

Me SP & the Bean.: the first party.
Ok, I'm seriously backtracking here, but here's some pictures from the birthday party.
I know she won't remember it, but obviously we had to make a big deal.
I think it's more of a "hallelujah we survived the first year!" party.
Anyway, as fun as it was, thank goodness they only come once a year.
O.M.G. Papa are you seeing this present?!
I tried hard not to hyperventilate while she "smashed" the cake.
Yup. Tissue paper decorations were a great idea.
Thank you to everyone who came, and couldn't make it, for the well wishes and the gifts!
And thank you to my peeps who helped set up, and clean up... cause if you there, you know just how relaxed and on top of everything I was. | 2019-04-26T12:57:01Z | https://me-and-sp.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-first-party.html |

I’m sad to say that I have run in to a lot of Adwords campaigns recently that were set up by people that claim to be professionals, but were set up horribly and were basically just handing money to Google with little or no chance of actually gaining the company. I strongly urge any small business that is spending money on Adwords to at least have someone reputable like myself take a look at what your campaign is doing. It is likely that it is running very inefficiently. Even if someone from Google helped build it for you.
A big part of running Adwords campaigns is using keyword match types. Those that don’t know what they are doing, and actually people from Google themselves, love to use what is called a broad match keyword. Broad match is the default when you set up a keyword. For example, if you are a plumber and set up an Adwords campaign, and choose the word plumber, you think your ads will show up when people search for plumber. In actuality, your ads show up for anything that Google deems relevant to plumber. This can be incredibly inefficient. Worse yet, I see many companies that have had professionals set up their campaign and used very vague and broad match types.
[town name] restaurants” and “[town name] Home Depot”. All of this was worthless to them and they were spending on this for months because they truste this “professional” had set it up properly. We made some adjustments so they were only targeting searches that included their service words and they immediately started getting calls. It was that simple, and sadly they had already wasted lots of budget without knowing.
Another recent friend had me take a quick look at their account that had been “professionally” set up. They at least had the right phrase and not just towns, but the campaign consisted of one broad keyword phrase, which was three words. This of course leaves a lot of room for Google to deem keywords as relevant to their broad match. Again they were serving lots of their budget and ads to irrelevant keyword searches and wasting their budget. We were able to solve it and get it running properly pretty quickly.
Managing an Adwords campaign typically takes ongoing maintenance to catch phrases that get in there that you don’t want to advertise to and crossing them off the list via “negative” keywords each month. But at least make sure you are running a fairly efficient campaign from the start. Having someone that knows what they are doing, like myself, can at least come in one time and make sure you aren’t throwing half of your budget out the window.
Google will try to assist small businesses in setting up their campaign, but that is like asking the used car dealer to tell you how to spend your money on his used cars. They have some knowledge and want you to be happy you are spending there, but they also tend to make you spend the most they possibly can. They always say spend more, up your bids, and up your budget, rather than fixing what you are spending now to run more efficiently.
Do yourself a favor and make sure you aren’t wasting over half of your budget on irrelevant search terms. We can take an hour and dig in to your campaign and give you a tune up so you are running much better and using your budget on the searches you actually want to spend your money on, not a bunch of random garbage. Give us a call.
I strongly urge any small business that is spending money on Adwords to have someone take a look at your campaign. It is likely that it is running very inefficiently. | 2019-04-21T08:15:10Z | https://youcanbefound.com/you-may-be-wasting-over-half-of-your-adwords-budget/ |
Due to the French law, Amnesty International has condemned an overwhelming vote by the lower house of the French parliament to ban the wearing of full-face veils in public.
Three hundred and thirty six parliamentarians voted for the measure on Tuesday, with only one opposing it.
“A complete ban on the covering of the face would violate the rights to freedom of expression and religion of those women who wear the burqa or the niqab as an expression of their identity or beliefs,” said John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International’s expert on discrimination in Europe.
The law, which must still be approved by the French Senate, prohibits the wearing anywhere in public of any form of clothing intended to conceal one’s face. Breach of the law would be punishable by a fine of up to 150 Euros and/or the requirement to complete a community rehabilitation programme. The law also provides for a penalty of up to one year imprisonment and a fine of up to 30,000 Euros for those who use force or threats to oblige others to cover their faces.
“However, comprehensive bans are not the way to do this,” said John Dalhuisen.
“Governments should instead be looking to strengthen efforts to combat the discrimination faced by Muslim women, both in their communities and in the broader societies in which they live. Their focus should be on empowering women to make their own choices, rather than limiting the range of choices available to them.
“Individuals may also be required to reveal their faces when objectively necessary, for instance for identity checks. French law already allows for such limited restrictions,” said John Dalhuisen. | 2019-04-18T22:52:16Z | https://noorullah.info/france-bans-niqab/ |
Is there a difference between Stygian steel and soulsteel?
IRC, Stygian steel was the First Edition name for soulsteel. I think First Edition also made mention of "death ores" implying that, originally, there were multiple sources of materials besides souls. Don't quote me on that.
Stygian steel is soul steel alloyed with shavings from the Labyrinth.
Dammit! nothing is correct. I was thinking of darksteel vs Stygian steel. Carry on.
Thanks, Nothing. Is there a mechanical difference besides Stygian steel causing aggravated damage?
Offhand I can't think of one. I think when it is surgically installed (mentioned in Doomslayers) it reduces Permanent Corpus for the duration, but that might just be because of the surgery itself.
I believe Stygian Steel is also stronger then Soulsteel. I consider it Soulsteel + what with it resonating with Oblivion cast offs.
It's definitely stated to be stronger, I just don't know if that comes up mechanically.
Having scoured the books before for this question, I can tell you there isn't a whole lot printed about it. So, if you want it to have more benefits, go for it.
Isn't Stygian steel aggravated since it carries the taint of oblivion, whereas soulsteel is just lethal?
and souls that is marginally tougher and stronger than soulsteel.
the extra effort worth it.
Still doesn't say much about the mechanical properties, though. | 2019-04-19T05:10:22Z | http://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/the-classic-world-of-darkness/wraith-the-oblivion/1057202-is-there-a-difference-between-stygian-steel-and-soulsteel |

Timing is critical in the emergency room. Every moment lost can mean life-changing injury for victims of a heart attack or stroke. Every failed diagnosis can mean lost time treating cancer.
If you or someone you care about has been the victim of emergency room malpractice, speaking with a lawyer about your options is a good idea. At my law firm, Vincent D. Morgera, Ltd., I represent medical malpractice victims, helping them achieve successful settlements and jury verdicts after an emergency room error.
Most medical malpractice and personal injury cases settle before reaching the courtroom. At the law office of Vincent D. Morgera, Ltd., whether or not to settle is always your decision. I offer experienced legal counsel to help you make the best decision for your needs.

Dealing effectively with complex information takes extensive knowledge and skills. At Vincent D. Morgera, Ltd., I have an in-depth understanding of law and medicine that have developed over 30 years as an attorney handling medical malpractice cases.
This is especially helpful to my clients because medical malpractice is a complex area of law. It is full of medical terminology, conflicting case law and statutes written in legalese. When I talk with clients about their medical malpractice cases, I break things down into clear, plain language. I want my clients to know the impact their cases may have on their lives so that they can make the best decisions about what actions to take.

At first glance they seem experimentations of a young visionary architect, who attended the international modernism school but obviously influenced by the three-dimensional aesthetic of modelling software, more than by gloomy and threatening sceneries of the new videogames.
But the architectonic creations by Alex Dragulescu , Rumanian artist who lives in the U.S., have been generated by a program based on a unique input: the junk mail. The project Spam Architecture , part of a research with Spam Plants (vegetal forms generated by the junk mail) and Respam (net.art project who tries to map and collect the junk mail), is a fascinating attempt to give visual life to the huge flow of data generated every day by spam mail in our mail boxes.
The textual analysis of data (the recurrence of a word, the date of the message, the IP number of the sender) allows the author to select parameters that generate automatically architectonic forms. The result are grey and geometric building, characterized by aggressive and pointed shapes, by alternate floors with dark and deep cavity. Even if the shapes don’t remind of the data used for their generation, they clearly evoke the underhand and violent nature of the spam.
The criterions that inspired the project are the well-known information visualization , a discipline that studies the translation on video of the data (of any type: scientific, statistic, economic). Dragulescu approach is gone further than a conversion of the material into forms and colours. His attempt is to produce visualizations that are also evocative, with an artistic and aesthetic side and not only an experimental and technique one, particularly successful the spam-based .
It is also the case, for example, of Extrusions in C Major , that applies the principles of information visualization to the music, the classical music, transforming in images the Trio C-Major for Piano, Violin, and Cello by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The Rumanian artist, who’s just ended a Master in Fine Arts at the San Diego University, where he direct the Experimental Game Lab, carries out since years a research about the creative possibilities of the digital simulation, the algorithmic writing and the computing models, mixing with a rare equilibrium the experimentation on the code with the visual, narrative and conceptual needs typical of the best contemporary art.
Out of all his known projects there’s Blogbot, winner of the IBM New Media Award al Festival for Expanded Media of Stuttgart . It’s an agent software able to generate graphic novels based on texts found on blog. The bot sounds out the Net searching for a specific theme and produces a dynamic collage of images and text. The first result of this project is named What I Did Last Summer . A visual story about the Iraq war, that unites the texts of two well-known bloggers, witness of the conflict, with images from the game Civilization 3 .
The next versions of the software will have an implementation of algorithm based on the computing linguistic, taking the analysis of the text to a deeper level, the meaning one. As Dragulescu explains, “by analyzing text using computational linguistic methods, you can detect anger and sadness. Turning those into gestures in three dimensions, that would be interesting”. | 2019-04-23T08:17:00Z | http://digicult.it/digimag/issue-017/dragulescu-lachitettura-dello-spam/ |
