well it's taken a couple of days for it to really sink in, but i'm really happy to be able to say that a selection of songs from my album won both the birmingham conservatoire and (jointly with the marvellous alex ho) the philip bates prizes for songwriting this tuesday.
it was great fun taking part in the competition, and it was a fantastic concert, with such a varied programme. congratulations also to dan cippico who won the audience prize for his piece the people's music of palabeyo.
finally, a big thank you to the band for learning all those time changes.
this concert was something of a proof of concept that this music can be done live (with a little bit of elbow grease), so expect to see more dates in the future! | 2019-04-23T04:36:57Z | http://www.sam-james.com/news/philip-bates |

One of my favorite ways to buy books — besides indie book stores with used sections, of course — is at library book sales. If you go on the last day or two of the sale, you can load up on books for amazing prices. I found a couple of sales where the books were going for $5 a bag and came back with lots of treasures.
This McSweeney’s title has an intriguing textured cover.
A book about medieval books.
It’s always best when you find personal inscriptions inside!
Trash is an environmental crisis. Every day we use and throw out products that are designed to be convenient. That packaging lasts for hundreds of years. For instance, consider your everyday squeezable plastic hand lotion bottle. It won’t biodegrade, and you can’t recycle it.
Even products that are supposedly recyclable often aren’t. Plastic can’t be recycled if it’s contaminated with food or other substances. And the energy required to recycle plastic is sometimes more than it takes to produce new plastic.
Cling wrap and ziplock bags >> glass tupperware. A pretty easy switch.
Plastic disposable razors >> stainless steel safety razor. Honestly, this new razor looks sort of intimidating, but once I learn to use it, it will be less expensive and much less wasteful.
Paper napkins >> cloth napkins. Found some brown washable cotton napkins on clearance at Michael’s, and they have worked great.
Windex >> white vinegar. Vinegar, surprisingly, works just as well to clean glass when rubbed with a rag–the vinegar still comes in a plastic tub, but it’s somewhat more plastic-efficient than the Windex.
Plastic toothbrush >> bamboo toothbrush. I bought the bamboo toothbrush on Amazon and haven’t tried it yet. Some would argue that buying a toothbrush on Amazon, with shipping involved, is equivalent to or worse than the plastic. However, I’m guessing that plastic toothbrushes also get shipped from somewhere far away–when you buy them at CVS, the closeness is an illusion. At least the bamboo toothbrush doesn’t last forever. It would be interesting and helpful if someone did a lifecycle assessment of both toothbrushes.
This dental floss in a cardboard box isn’t perfect–it comes in a thin film of plastic wrap and has a small circular plastic wring that the floss is wrapped around. But it’s certainly an improvement over the chunky plastic box at left–and the floss works just as well. The price is similar to everyday floss, unlike more expensive eco-friendly versions. I did buy it on Amazon–but unless everyday floss is locally made (unlikely), that is probably shipped long distances as well. And I didn’t buy it individually (cardboard box), but fit it in with another order.
For products where there are container options, I try to choose the more recyclable option. For instance, this plastic wasabi tube isn’t recyclable, but the metal container is. No more plastic wasabi tubes.
I started shopping at a bulk food store. It’s a health food/eco-friendly store where you can bring your own container, have it weighed, and use it to stock up on bulk food. They have a selection of dry goods, snacks, and some liquids like oil and maple syrup. It’s slightly more expensive than a typical grocery store, but I think the reduction in packaging–and supporting an eco-friendly business–is worth it. However, realistically, I cannot afford some of the products, like their produce and hand soap. This is one frustration of trying to be an eco-friendly shopper: because these products aren’t mainstream (and not currently produced at large scale), they can be more expensive.
I also signed up for a TerraCycle program to mail in my toothpaste containers and remaining dental floss containers and toothbrushes.
And, because I live in an apartment without a private yard, I started attempting to compost with worms in a bin.
These are the changes that have been mostly painless to make. Getting to the next level might be harder and will take more strategizing.
Last week I read an excerpt from my novel-in-progress at the Philadelphia Stories Winter 2018 issue launch party. I had a great time–I’ve been working on this project for a while, and it was exciting to finally share a little piece of it. It was also wonderful to meet other writers, artists, and literature lovers from the area! | 2019-04-24T06:12:06Z | https://emilyeckart.com/2018/02/ |

It happens that, this election year, there is one issue that unites some American voters further to the right with those further to the left: backers of Buchanan, Hagelin, Browne, and Nader (and a few unnamed others) are united in their desire to see these candidates participate in the presidential debates this October. Many voters think, correctly, that the addition of these candidates would add some unexpected intellectual energy to the mix by challenging Bush and Gore to push beyond their broken-record announcements. The difficulty (the news media would have us all believe) lies clearly with the Commission on Presidential Debates: the "non-profit, non-partisan" group which has been charged by the Republicans and Democrats with organizing the debates since 1987. The Commission requires that a candidate must be capable of securing at least 15% of the electorate - as determined by aggregating the most recent popular polls - to qualify for participation in the debates. Since none of the aforementioned candidates have reach the 15% mark, they will not included.
The Commission is a paper tiger, and the problem is much bigger than they and we would like to acknowledge. A creation of the two parties-in-power, the Commission acts as a useful foil for whichever candidate is perceived as the weaker debater. This year, Bush pushed back on Commission proposals, attempting to win points by attacking Gore on a new - and weak - credibility issue, only to concede to the Commission's original debate plans. Since the Commission's leaders come straight from the two dominant parties and many of their close allies, there's little danger when the candidates push them around - they would never truly attack the hands that feed them.
It's an anti-intellectual position - but many pragmatic views are just that. The pragmatic perception is that involving Nader, Buchanan, and others in the debates won't change the outcome of the election. We do not live in a parliamentary democracy, where low-scoring parties can tip the balance of power; the Reform party, Green Party, and others do not have candidates on the ballots for the House, the Senate, or local elected office in every state in the U.S. While our system does not automatically lock out "third" party representatives (and indeed, we have had, over the years, a few "independents" elected to Congress), it does not truly have a role for them either. Certainly not at the presidential level.
Again, we're to blame - not the Commission on Presidential Debates, and not the Republocrat party. The course of American history is changed in some small way with every presidential election, and the evidence suggests that this is how we like it: small changes. We could vote for these "outsiders," but they don't have enough popular appeal. We could allow the outsiders to debate, offering them the chance to broaden their appeal - but since they won't win, why bother? Even if they won, they'd be party-less candidates, with no legislative backing. What frightens us most is that they might make it to office, and then challenge our complacency on any number of issues, just as they now challenge Bush and Gore.
Americans created this cycle, and we're the only ones who can break it, by voting our conscience - regardless of how un-pragmatic it may be.

Following on from an analysis of what continued liberalisation in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) may offer African agriculture in the 2017 publication ‘WTO: Agricultural Issues for Africa’, this book critically examines intra-African agricultural trade and what the liberalisation of this trade under the auspices of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) may mean for the continent.
Much of the research presented here has had a genesis at the tralac capacity training ‘Geek Weeks’ where participants, including those from the NAMC, have worked to produce these individual chapters. This is a valuable part of the NAMC/tralac cooperation to enhance analytical and policy making capabilities in the region.
A comprehensive review of African agriculture is provided in these chapters, with the overall historical perspective introduced to set a base for understanding the sector and regional perspectives presented to emphasise the diverse nature of African agriculture. Regional trading and tariff profiles show progress made in liberalisation and, more importantly, focuses on how the AfCFTA can contribute to ongoing liberalisation efforts.
While perhaps the dominant agricultural trader in Africa, South Africa has an important role to play in working with others to promote intra-African agricultural trade. Several chapters examine specific agricultural products that are major trade lines globally and within Africa, and these chapters outline how the AfCFTA can facilitate this trade.
This book provides a baseline to understand African agriculture and trade as we move towards the exciting prospects that the AfCFTA presents. Africa presents the world with something very unique and is indeed rising. The NAMC and tralac hope that this collective effort will contribute to inform policy decisions to develop the continent’s agricultural trade and value chains.
tralac has been undertaking significant research on possible implications for African agricultural trade from tariff liberalisation for intra-African imports.The research culminates in this joint publication with the NAMC. Tariff liberalisation was also the focus of tralac’s capacity-building programme in that several analysts from the region were involved in a data and report-writing training week (‘Geek Week’) held from late October to early November 2017. This collaboration has resulted in the current book, with the emphasis on the AfCFTA.
In examining the analysis on tariff barriers, we emphasise that tariffs are but one barrier to trade. While, for most industrial products, worldwide border tariffs have been significantly reduced, they remain stubbornly high for agricultural products. We will show that this is the case for Africa, and crucially there are potentially important trade and consequently welfare gains from their elimination across the continent for import duties from fellow African exports. The extent to which duties are assessed on imports from outside the regional trading blocs in Africa is examined, as is also the extent to which many products even within these regional blocs are subject to exemptions and derogations.
Many other barriers exist in the form of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) or, almost but not quite interchangeably, non-tariff measures (NTMs). We do not focus on these NTBs and NTMs. Inexorably interwoven with high tariffs or associated derogations are political economy considerations for some commodities which,because of their sensitive nature, are deemed to be ‘special products’. Neither NTBs (as traditionally recognised) and the new emphasis on infrastructural NTBs (as traditionally recognised) and the new emphasis on infrastructural costs (such as time-in-transit) are examined in this book.
While our approach is to look at the extreme end of the spectrum and muse on intra-African tariff elimination on agricultural exports, we are conscious of the political-economy considerations behind trade liberalisation. There are always winners and losers in liberalisation. Aside from a review of the considerable path-breaking research that tralac has done on the wider aspects of trade and welfare gains from African liberalisation using a computer model approach,our emphasis in this book is on hard data presentation and analysis.
We present a suite of papers in support of our African-wide examination. These range from an initial look at how well agricultural production has performed over the last 50 or so years across the continent. Here we are left with the somewhat uncomfortable fact that in many instances aggregate production has been struggling to keep pace with rapid population growth in several countries.Associated with this is an examination of the sectors’ contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), both a measure of productivity and a de facto measure of industrialisation or the lack of it, and again we are left with unease that much of the continent is dependent upon subsistence agriculture. One aspect of African agriculture that we do highlight is the diverse regionalisation of production and trade, and that Africa agriculture is not a generic sector but rather one that can conveniently be examined in the context of its ‘four corners’of north, east, south and west.

Many matroid methods return a collection of subsets. In this module a class SetSystem is defined to do just this. The class is intended for internal use, so all you can do as a user is iterate over its members.
The class is equipped with partition refinement methods to help with matroid isomorphism testing.
Note that this class is intended for runtime, so no loads/dumps mechanism was implemented.
The only guaranteed behavior of this class is that it is iterable. It is expected that M.circuits(), M.bases(), and so on will in the near future return actual iterators. All other methods (which are already hidden by default) are only for internal use by the Sage matroid code.
Test if the SetSystem is connected.
A SetSystem is connected if there is no nonempty proper subset X of the ground set so the each subset is either contained in X or disjoint from X.
Create an iterator for a SetSystem.

The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority expects to have 23 levee and coastal restoration projects under construction in Southeastern Louisiana during fiscal year 2020 and another 20 projects will undergo engineering and design work, the authority’s new executive director said during a public hearing in New Orleans Wednesday evening (Jan. 30).
The projects are included in the authority’s proposed $783 million coastal annual plan, which outlines how money will be spent on wetlands and land restoration and hurricane storm surge risk reduction projects that are part of the state’s $50 billion, 50-year coastal Master Plan.
The annual plan was the subject of a public hearing Wednesday at the Lakefront Airport in New Orleans. During the hearing, new CPRA executive director Bren Haase said the list of projects includes continued construction of a major restoration project in Plaquemines Parish.
“I think the biggest marsh and ridge restoration project that the state’s ever undertaken is located in Plaquemines Parish, the Spanish Pass project,” Haase said.
The state will spend $1.9 million on the project on the west side of the Mississippi River in the Barataria Basin in 2020, but has plans to spend $60 million on construction in fiscal year 2021 and another $53.6 million the year after, with most of the money coming from the BP oil spill Natural Resource Damage Assessment process.
Wetlands scientist has been with the agency since it was created in 2005, oversaw latest coastal master plan update.
In addition to the natural resource benefits, the elevation of the ridge should also help block hurricane storm surges threatening nearby populated areas.
The project also will make use of sediment dredged from the Mississippi River by the Army Corps of Engineers as part of operations to maintain its navigation channel.
Haase said the 2020 budget also includes money to study the potential of using pipelines to move sediment from the Mississippi River to rebuild wetlands on the river’s east side. Similar pipeline projects have been completed on the west side of the river during the past few years.
About $505 million of the annual plan’s total would be spent on construction, and another $141 million on engineering and design. Officials predict that the fiscal year 2021 annual plan will include $738 million in spending, and that fiscal year 2022 will see expenditures of $938 million.
Future years could average near $1 billion, thanks to a steady stream of money for restoration projects from fines and payments related to the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and oil spill that are being paid to the state over 15 years; and the state’s share of federal offshore oil revenue from the Gulf of Mexico that will slowly increase from about $70 million this year to as much as $140 million when production of oil from new wells increases.
While the annual plan – and the multi-year updates of the master plan – have all been approved unanimously by the Legislature since 2007, the budget does include several controversial projects.
At the top of the list are the proposed Mid-Barataria and Mid-Breton sediment diversions that would funnel sediment and freshwater from the Mississippi River during high-river periods into wetlands on the west and east banks.
State officials contend the diversions will both build new wetlands by filling areas of open water and nourish existing wetlands by adding sediment to them.
Fishers contend the freshwater from the diversions will destroy existing oyster beds, most of which are on state-owned water bottoms leased to private growers; and will disrupt the life cycle of shrimp species that use the wetlands to grow from juvenile stages to sizes large enough to harvest.
State officials agree that there will be changes in a variety of commercial fisheries over time because of the projects, but say some of those changes will occur anyway because of the continued loss of wetlands if the projects aren’t built.
The state already has embarked on an effort to find ways of mitigating those effects, reviewing whether fishers can install refrigeration equipment and changes to their vessels’ engines to allow the capture of fish farther away from present fishing locations. They’re also looking to see if new areas can be identified where salinity levels will be adequate to grow oysters.
The review also includes looking at alternatives to pay fishers for damages resulting from the projects.
Chalmette native Jimmy Delery said during the hearing that he’s concerned the CPRA is not giving enough credit to the views of fishers about the the way water should be controlled if the diversions are built.
Speaking in support of the annual plan was John Kinabrew, chairman of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation’s board of directors.
“We’re seeing critical restoration recognized as a priority at the state level, our state taking the crisis seriously and finally stepping up with major action steps, keystone projects like sediment diversions, marsh creation, living shorelines, ridge restoration -- and the ramp-up of construction is really impressive," Kinabrew said.
Across the coast, the plan includes 38 projects under construction that will restore or improve 8,624 acres of wetlands or land and 162.3 miles of levee.
Criminal and civil fines and natural resource damage restoration payments stemming from the 2010 BP disaster and oil spill are expected to provide $407.7 million to coastal restoration projects.
The state will use federal offshore oil revenue totaling $184.3 million to pay the state’s share of a variety of levee and restoration projects.
On Jan. 23, Gov. John Bel Edwards announced the state also would use about $55 million from the state’s fiscal year 2018 surplus to help pay for some of the projects listed in the annual plan. The plan’s financial estimates will be adjusted to reflect those increased funds before being submitted to the Legislature in April.
The annual plan also calls for asking the Legislature for $103.1 million from its Capital Outlay budget to make the state’s first of 30 years of repayments to the Army Corps of Engineers for the state’s share of the cost of rebuilding the New Orleans area levee system in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. That money is in addition to the plan’s $ $783 million in projects.
Edwards has said that state’s Congressional delegation is still trying to reduce the amount the state owes, with the state proposing to instead use whatever reduction it is granted to pay for other coastal Master Plan projects in the future.
Mid-Breton Sediment Diversion, $18 million from BP spill-related fine revenue. This project in Plaquemines Parish will eventually cost $800 million, with construction expected to begin in 2023.
Rosethorne and Jean Lafitte Tidal Basin levees, $4 million in fiscal year 2020, with another $7 million to be spent in fiscal year 2021. The project will build about 8,000 feet of levees in the Jean Lafitte area that will be about 8 feet above sea level, high enough to reduce existing flooding threats from high tides.
Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection, $38.4 million. Includes money the state might need to spend as part of its share of land costs or mitigation costs for the New Orleans area levee system, the Southeast Louisiana flood protection projects in New Orleans and Jefferson parishes; and for the state’s land costs for federally-built levee improvements in Plaquemines Parish.
Queen Bess Island Restoration, $10 million. The state expects to receive the money from the BP oil spill natural resource damage program.
Grand Isle Beach Stabilization, $10.4 million, to be paid for with offshore oil money.
Golden Triangle Marsh Creation, $21.4 million. State officials expect this project to be funded with natural resource damage restoration money from the BP oil spill, but the money hasn’t been authorized yet.
Terrebonne Basin barrier island and beach nourishment, $104.7 million. State officials expect this project to be funded with natural resource damage restoration money from the BP oil spill, but the money hasn’t been authorized yet.
The plan also includes $10 million in Restore Act BP spill fine money that the state has set aside to match the cost of projects that coastal parishes are building with their own Restore Act grants.
Also funded are a variety of park and recreation improvements, including to Grand Isle and Bayou Segnette state parks, Middle Pearl River Wildlife Management Area boat launch and the Pass a Loutre campgrounds.
Another public hearing on the annual plan will be held Thursday at the Houma Civic Center, meeting room 3, 346 Civic Center Boulevard in Houma. That meeting begins with a 5:30 p.m. open house, followed by the public hearing at 6 p.m.
The authority also is holding two hearing on the Atchafalaya Basin Program annual plan, which will be submitted to the Legislature with the coastal annual plan. The hearings will be on Feb. 5 at the Bayou Sorrel Branch Library, 33415 Highway 75 in Plaquemine; and the Henderson Recreational Center, 1015 Park Drive, next to the Henderson City Hall. Both also begin with 5:30 p.m. open houses, followed at 6 p.m. with the hearings.
Public comments on the plan are being accepted through March 9. They can be submitted by email to coastal@la.gov, or by mail to CPRA, 150 Terrace Ave., Baton Rouge, LA 70802. | 2019-04-23T09:55:13Z | https://www.nola.com/environment/2019/01/state-to-spend-783m-on-coastal-restoration-levees-in-2020.html |

We offer nurse clinics at Spinney Veterinary Hospital and our Wootton Fields Veterinary Surgery. These clinics are run by fully qualified and experienced Veterinary Nurses in which we are able to advise our clients on many aspects of preventative healthcare for their pets.
Obesity is an extremely common disease affecting our pets and is as unhealthy for them to be carrying extra weight as it is for us. Obesity has an adverse affect on their health leading to issues such as heart disease, diabetes and arthritis.
At this clinic the nurse will advise the optimum weight for your pet and set up a diet and exercise plan with you to help your pet lose those extra pounds. Once their target weight has been achieved we will assist you in maintaining a healthy weight for your pet.
We can also advise on supportive diets for medical conditions and specific diets and feeding amounts for all life stages.
Your pet should have an annual examination and vaccination assessment by a Veterinary Surgeon. We recommend an interim 6 month health check by a nurse, especially for older pets.
This is a great opportunity for you to discuss any concerns you have with your older pet, such as mobility issues, behavioural changes and dietary requirements.
Nurse appointments are available Monday to Friday at Spinney Veterinary Hospital and Wootton Fields Veterinary Surgery.
The aim of this clinic is to offer advice on all aspects of dental health for your pets keeping your pet healthier and happier.
A post operative dental check can be booked to help you to keep your pet’s teeth clean following dental operations and to reduce the need for further dental procedures.
During your appointment we will discuss a dental homecare plan which will help you to keep your pet’s teeth in excellent condition.
General dental check ups are available for any pet of any age - even kittens and puppies will benefit from a homecare plan.
This clinic at our Wootton Fields surgery focuses on all aspects of healthcare and husbandry for rabbits and guinea pigs.
At these clinics we offer advice on vaccination, neutering, healthcare, housing and nutrition.
As our pets get older it is important to have regular health checks to ensure any age related problems are detected early.
Early detection can help us to manage age related illnesses effectively and allow your pet to have a longer, happier and healthier life. | 2019-04-22T10:16:49Z | https://www.northampton-vets.co.uk/our-services/nurse-clinics |

Is your child experiencing difficulties with mastering the skill of handwriting?
Handwriting without tears is a fun, educational program to improve the legibility and speed of handwriting. Consider providing a strong foundation to your child for communication success, a lifelong skill.
Memory, orientation, placement, word skills and sentence structure aid children in reading, writing, language use and critical thinking.
Teachers are primarily responsible for a child’s handwriting instruction; however, some children require the additional help of an Occupational Therapist. Children Pre-K to 5th grade will meet with Courtney Engel, Perry’s Occupational Therapist who will evaluate the underlying components of your child’s muscle strength, endurance, coordination and motor control for your child’s ability to manage and master the written language.
Body posture is one key to coordinate the arms, hands, head and eyes for skill development.
Physical strength and endurance will be measured and evaluated.
Fine motor control, i.e., ability to hold a writing utensil will be analyzed.
Visual and perceptual ability to form letters and shapes using a writing utensil will be observed.
Collaborate with teachers to develop and evaluate handwriting curriculum strategies for your child.
Evaluation of your child’s handwriting may provide clues to possible developmental problems. Development of fine motor, visual perception and eye-hand coordination skills will impact your child’s handwriting abilities. A full assessment and remediation options will be provided. Your child’s learning depends on his/her written work. It is the measure teachers use to evaluate how well a child is learning.
Call Perry’s Medical Rehabilitation at 815-876-4494 to speak with Courtney and to learn more about the program. Program admittance requires a physician’s order. | 2019-04-24T01:19:50Z | https://perrymemorial.org/treatments/medical-rehabilitation/occupational/handwriting-without-tears |
ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui on Monday lashed out at the federal government as well as Pakistan Army for the role assigned to the military “as the mediator” in the agreement to end the protest sit-in at Islamabad’s Faizabad Interchange by a few hundred zealots.
The army chief instead of following the orders of the chief executive became a mediator, pointed out Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui.
Security forces had launched an operation against protesters camped out at the Faizabad Interchange on Saturday after the high court had ordered the clearance of the bridge that connects the federal capital with Rawalpindi. The same day, Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa had advised Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to “handle the Islamabad dharna peacefully”.
The day-long operation had culminated with the government seeking the military’s assistance to disperse the participants who had put up fierce resistance to the security personnel’s action.
However, the army had said in its response to the government’s call for assistance that while it was “fully ready” to take action, a “few points need deliberation”. Subsequently, no troops were deployed in the city.
“Where is their Radd-ul-Fasaad now? Did they not see any Fasaad (anarchy) in this protest?” Justice Siddiqui asked as a hearing into the Faizabad protest was underway at the high court on Monday. The judge was referring to a military operation that was launched in February.
The judge remarked that this was proof of the ‘military’s involvement’.
Soldiers who are inclined towards politics should turn in their weapons, Justice Siddiqui said, asking if the protests would have continued as they did if the army’s General Headquarters had been located near the Faizabad Interchange.
Justice Siddiqui said, “The government has been made into a joke of sorts,” adding that the army needs to stay within its constitutional role.
Justice Siddiqui also disapproved the way in which the protesters were dealt with.
However, an ISI official present during the hearing gave his statement that the agencies were completely uninvolved in the protest.
Justice Siddiqui also asked for the report from the committee headed by Raja Zafarul Haq pertaining to the changes in Khatm-e-Nabuwwat clause in Election Act, 2017. He commented the report was in its final stages and awaiting the signature of Ahsan Iqbal.
Justice Siddiqui asked the interior minister to submit a detailed report of the operation conducted on Saturday with reasons for its failure.
Chief Commissioner Zulfiqar Ahmed Bhutta read out the agreement between the government and the protesters to Justice Shaukat. He responded stating the government was directed to clear the Faizabad interchange and not to conduct talks or negotiation.
During the hearing, Justice Siddiqui told Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal that the administration has the right to call in the army to control an emergency situation and that the military is bound to comply.
The minister told the court that during the protests and the operation in Islamabad, the country’s internal security was at risk.
“There was a conspiracy to show that a nuclear-state was failing. The agreement was reached with the protesters to bring the country out of those circumstances,” said Iqbal, referring to the ‘successful negotiations’ with leaders of the demonstration late Sunday night.
The judge asked why the agreement did not carry the signatures of the Islamabad chief commissioner and the inspector general of police.
The document of the agreement reached between the protest leaders and government bears the signatures of Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Interior Secretary Arshad Mirza, Tehreek Labaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLY) leader Khadim Hussain Rizvi, two other protest leaders and Punjab Rangers Director General Maj Gen Faiz Hameed, who facilitated the agreement.
“We are thankful to him [Gen Bajwa] for saving the nation from a big catastrophe,” the agreement document concludes, crediting the army chief and his representative team for their “special efforts”.
“This is not just an issue of Khadim Hussain Rizvi,” the judge said, referring to the religious leader spearheading the TLY sit-in.
The IHC judge, while declaring his love for the Holy Prophet (PBUH), said that these remarks could cost him his life or add him to the list of missing persons.
The judge tasked Barrister Zafarullah with filing a report on the incident. “He will tell us in 10 days what happened, where and when,” the judge said.
Speaking on Federal Law Minister Zahid Hamid’s resignation ─ the main demand put forward by the protesters ─ the judge accused the government of using him as a scapegoat to protect Anusha Rehman, state minister for IT and Telecommunication. Rehman was also named in the Khatme-Nabuwwat controversy.
“In order to protect one person, the minister is being sacrificed,” said Justice Siddiqui.
The IHC was conducting hearings on two applications that were filed by residents about the disturbances caused by the protracted sit-in.
“Where did the protesters get tear gas and gas masks from?” the judge asked, ordering the Intelligence Bureau to submit a report in this regard before the court.
Ahsan Iqbal arrived at the court soon after. Islamabad Inspector General Khalid Khattak, Chief Commissioner Zulfiqar Ahmed Bhutta and Deputy Commissioner Captain (r) Mushtaq were also present in court.
The high court had also summoned Director General Intelligence Bureau Aftab Sultan and sector commander of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
The Faizabad protests had paralysed life in the twin cities for three weeks before an operation of security forces was finally launched on Saturday in keeping with the court’s orders.
After negotiations late Sunday night, the government gave in to the protesters’ demand for the resignation of Law Minister Zahid Hamid, among other conditions. Subsequently, the TLYR chief on Monday ordered his followers to end sit-ins across the country.
What is he talking about ? Why should Army stand against unarmed people when the paramilitary is there ?
What’s the judge’s gripe with the IT Minister?
Why would Army intervene in a purely political drama? Doesnt this jud-ge know army is trained for anti terror operations and not political mileage events. shame on you justice.
This Shoukat Siddiqui is brother of Irfan Siddiqui Adviser to ex PM. Himself a zealot who kissed and embraced the killer of Salman Taseer Governor Punjab. How could such a person who encouraged violence be appointed a High Court Judge. Ask NaaAhl and add this to list of his crimes.
The military thoroughly, hopelessly and shamefully exposed….could it get murkier and uglier than this…? | 2019-04-26T07:45:53Z | https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2017/11/27/who-is-the-army-to-adopt-mediators-role/ |

Crítica de Michael Hingston, escritor e editor em Edmonton, Alberta (Canadá), publicada no blog "Too many books in the kitchen". O autor escreve regularmente em jornais como o Natuional Post, Globe and Mail, The Edmonton Journal, The Georgia Straight e Alberta Views.
José Saramago was a notorious late bloomer. When the future Nobel laureate starting publishing in earnest, after a couple of one-offs, he was already in his mid-50s. And by the time he really hit his stride, starting in the late 1980s—a run that produced novels like The History of the Siege of Lisbon, Blindness, and All the Names—Saramago was literally a senior citizen. But age never slowed him down. He kept writing excellent fiction until the very end and, in a way, beyond, since nearly a half-dozen of Saramago’s books have been translated into English since his death in 2010.
By fluke, two of Saramago’s oldest titles made their way to North America this spring for the first time: his little-read sophomore novel, 1976’s Manual of Painting and Calligraphy, and his only collection of short fiction (so far as I know), 1978’s The Lives of Things. Each book reveals a writer whose obsessions and inimitable style appear to have arrived on the page fully formed. Either that, or Saramago spent his 20s, 30s, and 40s honing his craft in private, and then burning the evidence.
The stories in The Lives of Things (translated by Giovanni Pontiero, Verso, 128 pp., $28.50, hardcover) show Saramago’s talents as slightly more nascent, not quite in full bloom. They alternate between ripe political allegory and extremely detailed absurdist thought experiments. They also meander, and the calibre of the ideas themselves varies; most of this you can chalk up to the form itself, which you can tell Saramago is just dabbling in, and which he doesn’t fully understand.
And all of the stories are very concerned with the “things” mentioned in the collection’s title. This turns out to be a clear nod to Saramago’s socialist politics, which will continue to bubble furiously away beneath the surface of most of his future work. In “Embargo,” we focus on a man’s car, and more specifically the gas tank and malfunctioning gearstick that make him needlessly line up, again and again, for refueling during a shortage. In the aptly titled “Things,” the contents of an entire town start vanishing in the middle of the night. And in “The Chair,” Saramago goes into minute, semi-fantastical detail about the deckchair in which Portuguese dictator António de OliveiraSalazar was sitting when it collapsed, ultimately leading to the man’s death from a brain hemorrhage.
The novel takes the form of H.’s diary as he struggles with the portrait of a nondescript industrialist dubbed S. (in a vintage Saramagean move, all characters essential to the story are reduced to the first letter of their name). He can’t recreate some elusive part of S.’s likeness on canvas, and so turns to writing as a means of getting at the man from a different angle. He also starts covertly painting a second portrait—a piece that could well be called painting—but one that’s far too honest to ever show the client.
It’s remarkable how similar Manual is to many of Saramago’s later works. There’s the long, winding, fearless sentences, but also the deep appreciation for geography and hand-crafted art, as well as a fierce feminist streak. Then you remember: oh, right. Saramago was in middle age when he wrote this. Of course there’s no stumbling self-discovery on the page—he’d already had decades of life experience to draw from.
The novel starts off incredibly strong, but loses some momentum as Saramago tries to cover too much ground. Twenty years later, I’m sure he would have had no problem filling a novel with just the quest to finish two simultaneous portraits—and what a wonderful book that could’ve been. Instead, we get another painting commission, a third-act love interest, and an unnecessary political detour. The mysterious second portrait disappears far too early on.
Yet I’ll admit I read the final stretch of the novel with a slight sense of relief: for an author to hit a nerve as strongly as he would so frequently later on, in what was essentially his first time out of the gate, would have been a very scary prospect indeed. With these minor stumbles, as in the some of the stories, Saramago reminds us that he was human after all. | 2019-04-26T16:35:21Z | https://espanol.josesaramago.org/116674.html |
Find out who your users really are.
Do you know who your users are? Mindgrub does. Our user experience team develops user personas in order to understand the people your digital product is targeting. Often, digital revenue streams are largely dependant on a successful customer experience. User personas offer one way to capture the personalities, demographic data, and use case scenarios within your target user group.
One method of creating user personas that accurately reflect possible users is ethnographic research. Ethnographic as a term means the study of individual cultures, which, when attempting to uncover who your users might be, fits perfectly. The key to implementing user personas well is to watch exactly what the user does, not what they say. Ethnographic research digs into who the person is and why they do what they do, rather than simply taking the answers they provide at face-value. This research can be done in three ways: “Charlie Rose” one on one interviews, “Fly-on-the-wall” observations, and a “Master and Apprentice” Q&A approach.
User personas were originally introduced by Alan Cooper in his book, The Inmates Are Running the Asylum. He depicted a problematic design interface, then created characters who found different problems within the system. His method of approaching software problems from a single user’s perspective was transformative. The changes he began have lead to the user-centric focus that Mindgrub champions today. | 2019-04-23T07:51:35Z | https://www.mindgrub.com/services/user-experience/user-personas-scenarios |

So, I want to just take a quick moment to make basically one observation here.
by region is not very dissimilar from the distribution of consumption.
complicated to, and much more difficult to transport.
mostly self sourcing, at least regionally, your consumption.
think about with natural gas, which has implications.
think a little bit more about, how am I going to get rid of this?
Is there a local market for it?
With oil, that's not always the case.
You can usually count on getting it into the global sales stream somehow.
consideration as how exactly do you get rid of the product.
left hand slide we can see major gas trade movements.
looked at the oil version of this, but a complicated set of lines that we observed.
With oil, about 60% of oil crosses an international boundary.
third of it crosses an international boundary.
this image here, from the BP Statistical Review.
We don't see as many international trade connections, when it comes to natural gas.
And we see, probably to some degree, a lot shorter ones.
in some sense within, within a, you know, to neighboring continents.
But not really then the same extensive global trade patterns we see with oil.
from the Energy Information Administration shows the interstate pipelines in blue.
So, these are the major transmission lines.
does you know, you can think of that as bulk transmission.
But a lot of it may be local, think of somewhat local delivery.
probably because they are regulated by different entities.
gas from these regions to the major consuming centers.
Chicago, New York, over here you have this major line going to California.
The southern line going to California.
Plain, so you see some of these lines.
infrastructure, you see some going back here to, to the Pacific Northwest.
out how, how exactly you're going to get it somewhere.
And you, you see the implications of having that stranded gas in this chart.
and then I'll talk a bit about gas production in the U.S. on the right.
We only have the US on the right.
These, prices on the left are for different areas around the world.
sort of the benchmark US pricing point for natural gas.
until the middle part of the last decade, and then they just completely fan out.
bit of a transition to talk about shale gas in particular.
in the U.S. can't necessarily be moved out of the U.S..
as how exactly to arbitrage to physically arbitrage these differences.
MCF and they're paying 18 across the Pacific.
[COUGH] That represents a huge opportunity.
time talking about that for the purposes of this discussion.
of departure to conclude by talking a bit about Shale gas.
why I broke natural gas out separately from, from oil. | 2019-04-21T16:47:10Z | https://pt.coursera.org/lecture/energy-business/natural-gas-market-activity-rsDGd |

After birth Baby Bumps are a great way to soothe your baby by sitting and bouncing on them. This up and down motion mimics a womblike motion that a baby is so used to! By lying down on a Baby Bump mothers can stretch out their chests, shoulders and back to make breastfeeding more comfortable. New mothers can also use a Baby Bump to do core conditioning after birth to speed up recovery.
After the baby is born a Baby Bump is an amazing soothing tool! Sit on your ball holding your baby in your arms and bounce up and down and rock side to side. The first 3 months of your new babies life is an adjustment period for everyone. Your little one will have fussy periods when they will need some help to calm down. Swaddling your baby & holding her close while bouncing might just do the trick! | 2019-04-21T12:25:51Z | https://www.baby-bump.com/pages/after-birth |
Every campus minister needs to have a few good talks, quiet times, discussion questions, and bible studies that he or she can pull out at a moment’s notice. You never know when you might be called on or an opportunity arises to leverage with gospel truth.
Romans 1:16 is a perfectly set up verse that can be applied in the moment for unbelievers or believers. 4 Questions of the Gospel can be used in a variety of contexts to answer the What, Why, Who, and How of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The below are the major building blocks that can be added and built upon according to the need.
The What of the Gospel?
The gospel, as described by Romans 1:16, is the very power of God. The greatest expression of God’s power is not the act of Creation, not the flood, not the parting of the Red Sea, and not even the plagues in Egypt. What God does in making a dead person alive is the greatest expression of God’s power. There is no greater demonstration of the power of God than what he does in saving a sinful and separated people.
The Why of the Gospel?
The gospel exists to save. This is its primary purpose. It is for salvation. To have any other primary reason for its use than this one is to misunderstand and manipulate it. One must realize and have the eager expectation that the gospel’s aim is to save its hearers! It is determined to do so.
The Who of the Gospel?
The gospel is not biased. It does not segregate with regards to gender, ethnicity, economic class, or age. The gospel is for everyone, everywhere, at anytime. It is for whosoever believes.
The How of the Gospel?
How is one saved? By faith. The saving work of Jesus is applied to one’s life through belief in His substitutionary work on the cross for them. Everyone has faith in something, but Christianity is characterized only by faith in the life and death of Jesus Christ. | 2019-04-23T03:58:43Z | https://made2multiply.jimdo.com/2016/03/27/4-questions-of-the-gospel/ |
Dymocks - Disposing Dictators, Demystifying Voting Paradoxes by Donald G. Saari, 9780521731607, PaperBack book.
We decide by elections, but do we elect who the voters really want? The answer, as we have learned over the last two centuries, is 'not necessarily'. What a negative, frightening assertion about a principal tool of democracy! This negativism has been supported by two hundred years of published results showing how bad the situation can be. This expository, largely non-technical book is the first to find positive results showing that the situation is not anywhere as dire and negative as we have been led to believe. Instead there are surprisingly simple explanations for the negative assertions, and positive conclusions can be obtained. | 2019-04-25T03:44:19Z | https://www.dymocks.com.au/book/disposing-dictators-demystifying-voting-paradoxes-by-donald-g-saari-9780521731607 |
After last weeks look at ‘softer’ skills, this week we look at HOW TO CRUSH YOUR OPPONENT. We look at some examples from game theory and explore what they mean in terms of magic, as well as taking an in depth look at levelling, and see what other games like poker and chess have to teach us about the game we all know and love.
1. When Math’s involved, you really should mention Hypergeometric distribution. It’s the proper mathematical modeling for Magic.
2. When lines of decision making are involved, you really should mention Greedy Algorithm (locally best) vs Linear Programming (globally best).
Thanks for the comment. I think if we do some analysis of opening hands and outs to a given situation, we’ll mention the hyper-geo.
I have to admit I haven’t heard of greedy algorithms or linear programming. Time to do some reading! | 2019-04-22T14:32:33Z | https://legacy-breakfast.com/2014/02/08/episode-19-strategy-in-magic-the-gathering/ |

The extra care scheme at Park Lane comprises of 54, two bedroom apartments provided for elderly residents on a mixed tenure basis. The £6 million scheme incorporates extensive communal facilities including a restaurant, bar, lounge areas, hobby rooms and gardens.
HLN were involved from the outset and worked closely with Wrekin Housing Trust to steer this high profile scheme throughout a difficult planning process and to deliver the project on site with McPhillips Construction, after the original contractor went into administration partway through the build.
The contemporary design incorporates a centre atrium space to bring natural light into the heart of the building, to act as a focal point for the community spaces, and to aid orientation & way finding for residents.
The 3 storey project achieved an Eco Homes Very Good rating. | 2019-04-21T16:21:35Z | https://www.hlngroup.co.uk/portfolio-item/park-lane-extra-care/ |
Yes..bang on..they were Hinchcliffe figures (54mm)... I'm going back some 25+ years ago now. In addition to the original painting instructions my other source of reference was Angus McBride's Osprey publication as mentioned by you above!!! Oh well.......better late than never to get it right! Thank you again.
Just wondered what the problem is with posting illustrations and photographs.
Is it to do with copyright?
No just can't manage it!
It would help me if I could simply cut and paste it into the box, but it will not let me.
I'll have to go around to Alan & Peter's for a tutorial.
It is free and you can have a practice!
I'll have a try elsewhere.
About time that book was updated! | 2019-04-25T00:55:06Z | http://www.rorkesdriftvc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3153 |

Adaptation can be hard. For the people making the adaptation it means transposing something from one medium and fitting it into another, and with each medium something is either added or subtracted. Theatre, especially Shakespeare, has been a go to source for a number of film adaptations. Shakespeare’s, language, themes and stories have echoed down through English speaking culture and remain staples to this day. Despite his omnipresence whenever there is a new release based on a Shakespeare play it garners an awful lot of attention, even if, like in the case of the 2015 version of Macbeth, they are not very good.
I don’t think I need to do a plot summery, it is Macbeth after all; the play has been around for 400 years, if you have managed to avoid it then I think a slow clap is in order for you. But for the sake of those who don’t know, the film Macbeth directed by Justin Kurzel and adapted by Jacob Koskoff, Todd Louiso and Michael Lesslie (three writers really?! I mean Shakespeare had the script basically there for you, what where you doing, the three of you?) follows Macbeth (Michael Fassbender), a Scottish warrior and Thane of Glamis. After defeating a rebel army he and his friend Banquo (Paddy Considine) see three witches who prophesise that Macbeth would be Thane of Cordor and then King of Scotland, although Banquo’s heirs should be king. Messengers from the king then show up with the title of Thane of Cordor for Macbeth, seemingly confirming the witches’ prophesies. He then tells this news to his wife, Lady Macbeth (Marion Cotillard) who “forces” him to kill the current king Duncan (David Thewlis) to get the crown. Thus begins the Macbeths’ slow descent into madness as they become more tyrannical and neurotic, torn apart by the guilt of their regicide..
However I said in my introduction that the film was not very good. Here is why. Firstly I have said that I liked the cinematography, but I only liked it 50 % of the time. I am not a fan of documentary style camera work, it feels lazy and cheap. They use it here but the technique becomes accentuated by the beauty of the steady shots and slow motion. If you can shoot on a tripod and do shoot on a tripod for some of the time, then do so for all of the time otherwise the switching between the two is jarring. Secondly and perhaps more importantly, a film that markets itself as an adaptation of Macbeth the Shakespeare play should understand the play that it is adapting. As I have stated before, visually the film is stunning but the pacing, plotting and use of Shakespeare’s text is wrong. This may be attributed to bad direction or bad writing but there were several key scenes that were handled so poorly that it took me out of the film. The before mentioned Burnham Wood coming to Dunsinane, while pretty, figuratively and perhaps somewhat literally burned the source text. The witches felt out of place in a film with so much atmosphere, to just have three woman hanging around in the fog felt somehow comic. They are meant to be other worldly and strange and not of this earth, a description given by Macbeth using Shakespeare’s own language in the film. It is difficult to articulate this point in text, but put simply, if you are going to use a description of the witches that your main character speaks, then make the witches match that description, not just three woman farting around on the highlands. The same with the ghosts that appear; Banquo’s ghost is supposed to be gruesome and terrifying but looked just the same as when he was alive. Macbeth also sees one ghost of a boy who dies in battle but there is no previous set up and no reason given to the audience as to why the ghost is appearing to him. In essence the film as a film is a pretty mess, incoherent and beautiful, insulting and mysterious, but a film is more than just picture, sound and plot, Shakespeare after all is an actor’s dream.
A common complaint about bad Shakespeare falls on the head of the actors. And as much as it pains me to write, Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard as well as the rest of the cast cannot speak Shakespeare. Admittedly this is a hard skill to pull off and it requires training and experience to make the written word come to life but it is possible; Ian McKellen could probably sing it back-to-front and upside down. None of the cast have that skill, instead it becomes painfully obvious that they are reading Shakespeare but they, like the director and writers, do not understand the words.
The worst culprit is Cotillard, as Lady Macbeth, who looks like she has no idea what she is doing half the time and the other half whispers her lines in the vain attempt to sound impassioned. Her version of the Lady-Macbeth-hand-washing soliloquy wass nothing short of insulting. She showed no range for the entire film. Cotillard is not the only culprit. Sean Harris as Macduff is nearly incomprehensible, either growing or roaring with nothing in between. I am personally unsure as to why this mush mouthed mumbler is still getting work, especially when dealing with the poetry of the Bard of Stratford. I could mention more cast members, but frankly they were forgettable. Finally we get to Michael Fassbender as Macbeth, perhaps the films biggest disappointment. His Macbeth is nothing but a sad lump, he looks on the verge of tears most of the time and growls his lines like the standard, “soldier who has seen things”. I say he is disappointing as he shows that he has some talent in Shakespearean acting, there are glimpses of range in his performance as Macbeth descends into madness, but those glimpses of character were clearly quashed by the director.
All in all a film I would not recommend, just look at the stills while listening to the sound track. Or if you must see it, view it as a show real for the cinematographer and the various artistic designers because it is a terrible Macbeth.
Surprising take on the acting. I have not seen the film, but have heard all good things – particularly about Fassbender and Cotillard. Might give it a watch myself – if only, as you say, for the cinematography and the score.
Keep the reviews and writings coming, and don’t hold back on the uncommon (but well-grounded) opinions. | 2019-04-24T00:06:25Z | https://corruptedrecord.com/2015/10/13/macbeth-2015/ |
Full-year sales volumes have been raised to 415 – 425 MBoe/d, up nearly 5 percent from last year, after adjusting for 2016 divestment impacts. Volumes from the announced Clayton Williams Energy acquisition are included in the Company’s total beginning with expected closing in the second quarter of 2017.
Total Company oil volumes are anticipated to be higher by approximately 9 percent, after adjusting for 2016 divestment impacts. U.S. onshore oil is anticipated to be up nearly 30 percent year on year, after adjusting for 2016 divestments.
Organic capital expenditures for 2017 are estimated to be between $2.3 and $2.6 billion.
Approximately 75 percent of the total capital program is allocated to U.S. onshore development, primarily focused on liquids-rich opportunities in the DJ Basin, Delaware Basin, and Eagle Ford.
Eastern Mediterranean capital expenditures, including development costs associated with the Leviathan project, represent over 20 percent of the Company’s total.
HOUSTON, Feb. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NBL) (“Noble Energy” or “the Company”) today provided updated and detailed guidance for 2017, including capital expenditure and sales volume expectations, along with various cost items for the year.
U.S. onshore organic investments are up approximately 90 percent from 2016 levels and will be primarily focused on drilling and completion activities within the DJ Basin, Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford. Capital expenditures in the Marcellus Shale will focus on the completion of previously-drilled uncompleted wells. For the Clayton Williams Energy assets, reported capital has been included from closing (expected in the second quarter of 2017) through the end of the year.
Noble Energy’s total U.S. onshore rig count is expected to average more than eight operated rigs for 2017, exiting the year with nine. A third operated rig for the DJ Basin has been accelerated and is now planned to be added in the second quarter of 2017. In the Delaware Basin, Noble Energy increased its operated rig count on its existing position to three rigs during the fourth quarter of 2016 and anticipates running three rigs during 2017. Following closing of the Clayton Williams Energy acquisition, Noble Energy anticipates adding a second operated rig to this position mid-year and a third rig by the end of 2017. Combined, total rigs running at the exit of 2017 in the Delaware Basin is anticipated to be six operated rigs. On average for 2017, a one rig program is anticipated in the Eagle Ford.
The Company anticipates to drill and commence production on approximately 225 onshore wells in 2017. The average drilling length across the U.S. onshore activity for 2017 is 8,200 lateral feet, with approximately two-thirds of the wells to be drilled in the DJ Basin, nearly 25 percent in the Delaware and the remainder in the Eagle Ford. In the DJ Basin, half of the anticipated wells in the 2017 program are located in Wells Ranch. The Company will also be drilling wells in the East Pony and Mustang areas. In the Delaware Basin, the vast majority of the wells are expected to be in the Wolfcamp A interval, with a few wells in other zones. The majority of the Eagle Ford program is focused on Lower Eagle Ford wells in Gates Ranch; however, the Company plans to also include multiple Upper Eagle Ford wells in its 2017 activity. Noble Energy will continue to utilize enhanced completion designs throughout its U.S. onshore well activity.
Included in the U.S. onshore capital expenditure amount is approximately $120 million related to midstream facility infrastructure buildout for central gathering facilities (CGF) and associated gathering lines, split evenly between the DJ Basin and Delaware Basin. These amounts include the buildout of the CGF in the Mustang area of the DJ Basin as well as for the Company’s first two CGFs in the Delaware Basin. The $120 million reflects Noble Energy’s interest in the respective development companies (NBL currently owns 75% of both systems). The remaining 25 percent is owned by Noble Midstream Partners LP (NYSE:NBLX) (“Noble Midstream Partners” or “the Partnership”), which is designing and operating the facilities in support of the Company’s long-term upstream plans. Noble Midstream Partners’ organic capital program for 2017 of $155 to $175 million, attributable to the Partnership, is not included in the Company’s capital guidance amount, although it will be consolidated when reported as a result of the Company’s ownership of the general partner.
Capital expenditures in the Eastern Mediterranean for the initial development of the Leviathan project include drilling one production well, long-lead investment items, and ramp up of construction activities. The Company will also complete an additional production well at Tamar, which was drilled in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The remainder of the capital program is planned for offshore and corporate, including the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, as well as other exploration activities. Late in 2017, Noble Energy anticipates participating in the drilling of the Araku exploration prospect offshore Suriname. The Company holds a 20 percent non-operated working interest in the prospect, with total gross unrisked resources in excess of 500 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Full year sales volumes are anticipated to average approximately 415 – 425 MBoe/d for 2017, including volumes from the Clayton Williams Energy properties following closing of the transaction. In total, this represents a 5 percent increase over last year, adjusted for 2016 divestments.
Total U.S. onshore volumes are expected to be up 10 percent versus 2016, after adjusting for the impact of 2016 divestments. U.S. onshore oil volumes are expected to be higher by nearly 30 percent on a full year basis and 40 percent when comparing the second half of 2017 to the second half of 2016. The majority of U.S. onshore growth in 2017 is driven by development programs in the Delaware and Eagle Ford assets. Full year 2017 DJ Basin volumes are anticipated to be equivalent to 2016, although higher on an exit rate basis. Sales volumes from the Marcellus are expected to be down from 2016 as a result of the impact of the divested volumes from the Marcellus JV separation, as well as natural decline in existing production.
In offshore areas, total reported net production in Israel is anticipated to be down slightly from 2016, with underlying natural gas demand growth partially offsetting the impact of the 3.5 percent Tamar interest sale in late 2016. In the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, volume declines are expected from 2016.
First quarter 2017 sales volumes reflect lower liftings in West Africa as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016 by over 10 MBbl/d. In addition, asset divestitures are resulting in a decrease in sales volumes from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2017. This amount totals approximately 15 MBoe/d and is primarily comprised of the Marcellus JV dissolution impact and the 3.5% working interest sale in Tamar. Underlying production from the Marcellus is expected to be impacted by natural decline and no new wells commencing production in the quarter. In the DJ Basin, slight volume decline is expected, with the first quarter reflecting the fewest new well startups during 2017.
Second quarter volumes are expected to include a partial quarter of the Clayton Williams Energy production and will begin to reflect the production impact from the ramp in U.S. onshore drilling and completions. Total Company sales volumes in the second half of 2017 are expected to reflect continued growth from the onshore development programs.
Full detailed first quarter 2017 guidance is provided in the Company’s supplemental slides for today’s upcoming conference call. The slides are available on the Company’s website.
At the midpoint of the Company’s volume guidance, existing hedge positions cover over 35 percent of global crude oil and condensate production and over 55 percent of U.S. natural gas production.
Equity method investments include income generated from the methanol facilities, the LPG plant in Equatorial Guinea, as well as the CONE MLP. Equity method income for 2017 is estimated at $110 to $140 million.
*Capitalized interest is estimated to be $65 million.
Tax guidance is applicable to earnings before unrealized mark-to-market gain / loss on commodity derivatives and other items typically not factored in by analysts.
Diluted outstanding shares are expected to average 465 to 475 million for the full year, reflecting the issuance of 55 million shares associated with the Clayton Williams Energy acquisition, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017.

(Fox Lake) A Randolph man arrested last week for his seventh drunken driving offense will head to trial. Gerald Miller has waived his right to a preliminary hearing on felony charges of Operating While Intoxicated and Bail Jumping as well as misdemeanor Operating While Revoked, Resisting an Officer and Disorderly Conduct. As a Dodge County deputy was responding to a domestic incident in Fox Lake, he spotted the suspect parked alongside County Road F. While talking with Miller, the deputy said he noticed a strong odor of intoxicants and that is eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred. Miller’s wife reportedly told authorities that he had drank a 12 pack of beer prior to driving. The 53-year-old allegedly refused to take a preliminary breath test but a search warrant was issued and a blood draw was later taken. Miller has OWI offenses dating back to 1989 with his most recent coming in 2014. If convicted on all charges, Miller faces a combined maximum of over 38 years behind bars. An arraignment hearing is scheduled for April 4. | 2019-04-20T12:33:41Z | http://dailydodge.com/randolph-man-will-head-trial-seventh-drunken-driving-offense/ |
POSY – circular in shape, it could be more traditional with a mixture of blooms evenly dispersed throughout or for a more modern look you could opt for clusters of different blooms.
TRAIL – slender from top to tip and as the name indicates elongates from the bride’s hand down the front of her gown and is usually evenly balanced in its bloom proportions.
TEARDROP – featuring a posy round top with a trail narrowing to a tip at the base in a teardrop shape.
SHEAF-STYLE – this is where the bride will lay the blooms across her forearm and is usually long and narrow.
NATURAL STEM – also referred to as hand-tied, it features visible stems bound in a ribbon to compliment.
So how do I choose the right bouquet for me???
Well, this is dependent on a few different factors. The style of your gown, the style of your wedding – ie is it a formal affair or a more relaxed occasion, your height and how do you want to differentiate your bouquet to your bridesmaids.
If your gown is heavily embellished on the front, you don’t want the flowers to be fighting for the attention over you and your beautiful dress. Also, if you’re only a petite bride, you certainly don’t want to feel or look like you’ve been swallowed up by a mass of flowers. You can do spectacular in more ways than sheer volume.
A teardrop bouquet is generally considered to be a more formal style so I probably wouldn’t recommend this one for a garden wedding.
Your bridesmaids colours should also be taken into consideration when choosing to put colour into the bridal bouquet. It is nice to tie through the colour theme but if it’s a rather strong colour toning, it may be best to leave them in the maids bouquet because it will be the most striking colour as you walk down the aisle so will detract a little from your grand entrance.
So many things to consider but a good wedding florist will certainly be able to guide you through this to make an informed and beautifully balanced choice. | 2019-04-24T15:10:15Z | https://perfectpetals.com.au/blog/bridal-bouquetswhich-style-and-which-style-suits-me/ |
When your home is flooded, there is more to worry about than just the water that gets in your home. Whether the flooding is due to heavy rains or drains flooding your home, the raw sewage in the water is a serious hazard that you should be aware of. If you are doing cleanup work yourself, you want to make sure that you use all the protective gear and avoid contact with the water that has been contaminated with raw sewage. In addition, materials in your home that have been in the water with raw sewage should be disposed of to ensure that there are no health hazards.
Other contaminants are often in flood waters, such as fuels and chemicals. The contaminates that are in flood waters cause many hazards that you want to avoid. It is important to stay informed with local emergency management authorities to ensure you know off potential chemical hazards that pose a risk to your health and safety. Even if there are no formal warnings of contamination, it is always a good idea to wear protective gear when working in or near flood waters in developed areas.
Contamination is only one of the hazards that you should be aware of when cleaning flood and water damage to your home. Utilities are also a cause for concern, and you want to be aware of hazards from damage. Make sure that there are no live electrical lines in water before you begin cleanup work. In addition, if you smell gas, you will want to contact the utility company to let them know about the leak and stay out of the area until any leaks are repaired.
These are some of the hazards you will want to be aware of when doing water damage repairs. If you need help with cleanup and repairs, contact a water damage restoration service to help get the work done safely. | 2019-04-20T06:53:13Z | http://sloscape.com/2018/02/07/3-hazards-to-worry-about-when-doing-flood-damage-repairs/ |

With talented performers leading the way, The Bodyguard returns to its rightful home in the West End as it plays at the Dominion Theatre with Beverley Knight in the lead role.
This musical adaptation of the hit movie has gained a lot of attention since its arrival in the capital as it is one of many productions over the years to have its roots in a well known Hollywood film, from The Lion King to Billy Elliot The Musical. Following its run at the Adelphi Theatre in 2012 it now returns at the former home of We Will Rock You.
In the story we are introduced to Frank Farmer, portrayed by Kevin Costner in 1992, who is a bodyguard assigned to protect the singer Rachel Marron, played by the late Whitney Houston on the big screen. During the course of their interactions we witness as a romance blossoms between the two.
The movie is famous partly because of its signature song I Will Always Love You, which was originally written by Dolly Parton but was popularised on the soundtrack to The Bodyguard as sung by Houston. The stage show also features musical numbers made famous during Whitney Houston’s career, as well as hits from the likes of Chaka Khan, such as Queen Of The Night, How Will I Know, One Moment In Time, I’m Every Woman and the 1987 hit I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me).
Beverley Knight is obviously best known as a singer songwriter who has appeared on stages nationwide whilst releasing numerous singles in the charts such as Greatest Day and Shoulda Woulda Coulda, plus many others.
But in recent years she has also been making her mark on the musical theatre scene, with her appearance in The Bodyguard at the Adelphi Theatre in 2012 earning her great praise. Since then she has appeared in Memphis at the Shaftesbury Theatre and Cats at the London Palladium, but in 2016 she returns to an anticipated revival.
Audiences can see The Bodyguard as it returns to the West End, running at the Dominion Theatre from Thursday 21st July 2016 (previews from Friday 15th July 2016). | 2019-04-20T16:54:45Z | https://www.boxoffice.co.uk/arts-and-theatre-tickets/musicals/the-bodyguard-tickets.aspx?utm_source=trucoslondres&utm_medium=link |

Who needs Unicode support in PechaMaker?
Would Unicode support in PechaMaker be useful?
I don't even know what Unicode is.
I don't use Unicode fonts.
I currently convert text from Unicode to ANSI/RTF to use PechaMaker.
I would definitely use PechaMaker more if it handled Unicode directly.
I am trying to find out how many people wish PechaMaker had direct support for Unicode fonts.
Currently PechaMaker does not support Unicode. If you have a document with Unicode text then you must use some other editor to convert the text to an ANSI font. If your editor supports RTF you can just copy the text into the clipboard (using Ctrl+V) and then past it into PechaMaker, which reads RTF. You can also export the text to a file in RTF format and then Import the file into PechaMaker.
I believe there are only one or two good Tibetan Unicode fonts available and that they are not widely used. (But then, I am not even sure if PechaMaker is widely used.) So, I am looking for information on how much interest there is in a new version of PechaMaker for Unicode.
I know people use the UDP editor for Tibetan Unicode and that there is a list of Tibetan Unicode fonts there.
Please post information on any other Tibetan Unicode fonts or other Unicode editors that you know of.
Thanks for taking the poll up above!

Unicode support for PechaMaker would really make a huge difference! New ANSI systems continue to pop up eventhough most operating systems are now posed to render Unicode Tibetan correctly. In Tibet, most of these new fonts *still* use a double-byte system that uses the chinese block of encoding. It would be nice to see everyone put these incompatible systems behind us.
For Unicode Tibetan, several EWTS keyboards exist, and many older keyboard input systems have been imitated used Keyman or other means.
The beta version of Windows Vista which which now out does indeed have the Microsoft Himalaya Unicode Tibetan font built in, and has system wide support for the uniscribe engine that renders the Open-typed ligatures correctly. I would anticipate that when Vista is released, it will be quite the hot item in Tibet. Having pecha maker ready and tested for Unicode as Vista comes out would really add to the excitement of next year. Windows Tibetan keyboards for Unicode, both system-intrinsic or using third party software, are growing in number.
Most of Office 2003 for XP is already set up for Unicode Tibetan, though there are some issues still that can be sticky (line-breaking for one). Getting Unicode Tibetan to work for other applications in Windows XP requires a few steps, but in general, it is not hard. Down the road, I plan to give more instructions for this at The Tibetan Portal.
In addition to the excellent UDP editor, BabelPad offers easy support to Unicode Tibetan editing. Babelpad has a built in Wylie keyboard and knows when to render a line break within a Tibetan paragraph.
Good Unicode Tibetan fonts are growing in number. There about 5 or 6 available for Windows, and for Mac OS X, Xenotype technologies offers both uchen and a beta version of a nice umey font (nice!).
One of the big issues in Tibet is ease of installation. If Pecha Maker were easy to install in Vista, such that it just immediately worked with no extra font installs, etc, that would be overcoming a big hurdle. Second, of course, would be a manual in Tibetan.
Yes, I think that adding Unicode support, and support for OpenType Tibetan fonts, in PechaMaker is very important.
What's wrong with existing fonts?
TCC & Nitartha-Sambhota Tibetan fonts are 8-bit fonts which allow a maximum of 256 glyphs per font (in practice even less) - this means that, to contain all the glyphs required for a single Tibetan typeface, - several individual font files are required ( a set of 5 font files per typeface for TCC Tibetan! typefaces - and even more for Nitartha-Sambhota's Dedris typeface). These fonts use non-standard encodings - mapping Tibetan glyphs to Latin characters in the "Windows ANSI" code page (glyphs masquerade as characters which they actually have nothing to do with); these fonts are not cross-platform; and the Type 1 and plain True-Type font file formats do not support "smart font" technologies needed for ideal support of complex scripts like Tibetan.
When several different font files all mapped to the same 8-bit charater set are used to cover the glyph set required for Tibetan several different letter combinations are mapped to one and the same character. (e.g. TCC Tibetan! fonts map 5 different Tibetan glyphs to a single Windows ANSI character). This makes practical and reliable searching, collating, and transmission of Tibetan text encoded using these fonts over the internet a real problem.
For long term archiving and retrieval of Tibetan script text - there is no guarantee that the non-standard glyph-based encodings used by these systems will be supported in future applications and operating systems.
In Windows Vista there is now native support for Unicode Tibetan and OpenType Tibetan fonts.
Windows GDI still supports Type1, TrueType and OpenType-CFF, as well as OpenType-TrueType fonts.
GDI+ only supports TrueType and OpenType-TrueType fonts.
WPF (aka "Avalon") supports only OpenType-CFF and OpenType-TrueType fonts.
So, while your 8-bit Tibetan fonts should still work for quite a while - the writing is on the wall as, over the longer term, support for GDI (and GDI+) is clearly slowly being phased out of Windows and Windows based applications. In WPF (?Avalon?) applications your 8-bit fonts won't even show up in the font menu.
The only internationally recognized standard for Tibetan text is Unicode / iso 10646. In addition to this international standard, there is a Chinese national standard which maps glyphs for thousands of pre-composed Tibetan stacks to characters in the PUA (private use areas) of the Unicode standard.
W3C, IETF and OMG; including HTML v.4, XML, XHTML, XSL, LDAP, CORBA 3.0, and other new technologies require Unicode character encoding.
The MARC 21 standard for machine-readable cataloguing specifies use of Unicode in "MARC 21 Specifications for Record Structure, Character Sets, and Exchange Media".
Unicode support is a requirement of several other international standards dealing with text data.
up to 64,000 glyphs per font.
support for for advanced typographic features, including contextual glyph substitution and positioning, needed for best rendering of the Tibetan script.
OpenType is also an effective means to correlate Tibetan text (i.e. Unicode characters - nothing else is reliable in enough contexts) with Tibetan glyphs (the shapes we read) . For storage, search, transmission and reuse - all of which are vitally important in modern archiving and publishing - this is a crucial feature.
So, my request is: Please add support for Unicode and OpenType fonts to PechaMaker.
I specifically designed this font for creating pecha.
I have asked and asked and one can seem to make me understand what and the importance of Unicode fonts.
Anyone wish to share with me why we need them. and can anyone tell me why Jomo Lhari does not work right. ka+ya ta and things like that do not come out looking right in the UDP program.

Well Unicode is an international standard, text based encoding - not a non-standard, font / glyph based encoding.
One thing this means that your texts are searchable, indexable, etc. In other words, Unicode Tibetan texts are searchable using standard search engines (like Google, Alta-Vista, Yahoo, etc.); you can easily do search and replace operations in standard word processors & text editors; and use standard text tools like diff to spot differences in versions of Tibetan text files - or in different input versions.
international character & text encoding for many, many years to come just as US ASCII has been the basic standard for English text for many years until now.
In OpenOffice v2.1 you can now automatically sort lists or tables of Dzongkha or Tibetan words into correct Tibetan dictionary order; create a correctly ordered index of Tibetan or Dzongkha words, in a spreadsheet have your dates and numbers appear in either English or Tibetan format depending on the preferences you choose and simply switch between one and the other format just by changing your preferences or a stylesheet - and not re-entering the dates or figures. Presumably there are similar features available in MS Office 2007 running on Windows Vista (I haven't had the opportunity to try this yet) - and as more and more applications are built to handle Unicode and complex scripts there will be less and less need for specialized applications built to handle Tibetan using non standard font based encodings.
Don't get me wrong. When most current Tibetan applications & fonts were built it was impractical or pretty well impossible to use Unicode for Tibetan and some people did an amazingly good job levereging the technology available at the time. There are still quite a number of things which it is easier to do using non-Unicode systems (including formatting pecha) - after all some of these non-Unicode systems had their origins in the 1980's and they have constantly been tweaked and improved since then. So, on some fronts, there is simply still a lot of catching up to do - but that is happening very quickly. If everyone concentrates on Unicode development rather than on systems that, imo, in the end will likely prove a dead-end, then this will happen even faster.
You may also prefer the designs of the non-Unicode Tibetan fonts available to those of the Unicode fonts currently available. However it is a relatively straightforward , albeit time-consuming, task to convert these non-Unicode fonts to a format such as OpenType which supports Unicode - and if the developer wants, at the same time they can add features unavailable in previous font formats. So there is no real reason why we can't use the same font designs for many, many years to come - other than that the developers of those fonts haven't done the conversion yet.
One other thing is that Unicode / OpenType fonts for Tibetan should work with all Tibetan text - so can easily format Unicode Tibetan text in fonts from different developers - just as you can with English text. The number of OpenType Unicode Tibetan fonts available is slowly increasing - and it shouldn't be too long before there are more Unicode Tibetan fonts available than non-Unicode fonts. OpenType also makes it much easier to support different varieties of Tibetan script.
Of course, just when you switch to Unicode is something that you may need to carefully consider. If you are in the midst of a Tibetan book publication project using an older non-Unicode based system it might cause delays and complications to switch right now - but, once your books are printed, please consider converting the input text to Unicode format for long-term archival storage. If you are publishing a Tibetan or Dzongkha language newspaper it may also be difficult to switch to Unicode for another year or two as page layout applications like InDesign, although they support Unicode, have not yet implemented support for complex script shaping of Tibetan text required to use OpenType Tibetan fonts. Of course these things are being worked on.
Yes, I would love to see Unicode support in PM!

Now that support for Tibetan Unicode is *standard* in Windows (Vista), Mac OSX (Leopard), Linux and an increasing number of applications - perhaps it is now time to move on this?
FWJ and I have had a few discussions recently, and though he will likely continue to add features to PM for all of us, he's been so kind to provide lots of feedback on a new project I have started and has even been gracious enough to let me post about it on this forum. | 2019-04-21T20:06:09Z | http://pechamaker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9&p=153 |
How many impressions you can get after sharing your content on Facebook? Relatively, only some of the people get reasonable impressions on their activities. On the opposite side, others people don’t get any handsome amount of impressions as usual. To hike up impressions such as likes and reactions normally we have added Liker Us and Bugs Liker on our site and today we bring Andro Liker. Andro Liker helps you improve many likes and reactions in posts, images, videos, notes on Facebook. The interface of Andro Liker is quite pathetic and you can’t get any trouble while getting the impression from an application.
If you know the Indonesian language then you can’t get any issue with the Andro Liker app, because the script of auto liker is based in the Indonesian language. So if you are living inside Indonesia then you can taste features without a headache. It is no matter if you are not familiar with the language because the atmosphere of Facebook auto liker is similar to alternative applications. You just required generating a token and pasting in the box.
Note: There are many be many phishing websites and apps gather access to your FB login credentials. So once you make use of any auto liker websites or apps, please change your password as soon as you got enough likes. Don’t worry Andro Liker can’t collect any information of user account, but for safety follow some tips, because we care.

The US statesmen’s vision for the energy sector has been under a series of transformations over the last several years. It has been through a few cycles, alternating its focus between fossil fuels and renewables, with everything else in between. Nowadays, fossil fuels are on the uptake.
On December 13, 2014, US Congress passed H.R. 83, the fiscal year 2015 budget. Some of the winners of next year’s national budget are the Pentagon, with a large portion of the funding allocated to defense, the National Institute of Health, and education. Overall, the Department of Energy’s $10.2 billion budget was largely unchanged; however, the budget featured mixed outcomes of cuts and additions that solidify the trend of renewable and environmental concerns giving way to fossil fuels – some of the Obama administration’s requests for funds have been reversed and others ignored.
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy received a modest increase of $25 million (to $1.937 billion), which nonetheless was about $380 million less than the administration requested. Another denied request for increase was funding for renewable energy research (16% less than President Obama was asking for). Obama was also denied $3 billion he had promised to the Green Climate Fund operating within the framework of the UNFCCC as amechanism to redistribute money from developed to developing countries to counter climate change. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is losing ground and funding as well: its $8.1 billion budget was cut by $60 million, bringing its staffing to the lowest level since the 1980s and curbing the agency’s efforts in enforcing some air and water laws. This budget reduction also prohibits the EPA from regulating lead ammunition and mountaintop-removal mining.
On the flip side, Congress was generous to fossil fuels and nuclear power by allocating more than requested by the administration. The bill provides $913 million to support nuclear energy. Fossil fuels research is an especially interesting case. President Obama requested a decrease in funding, from $562 million provided in fiscal year 2014 to $475 million. Instead, Congress increased support by boosting funding $100 million above what was asked. Fossil fuels R&D in 2015 will amount to $571 million. Slowly but surely, federal funding of fossil fuels research has been creeping up, growing by about 50% in the past five years.
All in all, a greater number of Republican representatives in Congress is becoming increasingly successful and inventive. Thus, Obama’s announcement a couple years ago of an “all of the above” energy strategy is playing right into their hands: it is being quoted mostly by these lawmakers when pledging their support for fossil fuels. Needless to say, the President has not referenced this energy strategy for a while.
Meanwhile, the markets do not demonstrate any hesitation about fossil fuels: public exchanges and brokers have been adding more products where oil, natural gas, and LNG are underlying commodities. In fact, I don’t remember any noticeable additions to environmental products in many months. And it is a safe bet that this state of affairs will not change in the near future. | 2019-04-19T11:08:26Z | http://www.datawatch.ze.com/editorial/editors-letter-december-2014-the-new-us-budget-the-energy-sector-becomes-more-all-of-the-above/ |
More and more physicians are likely to recommend cannabis oil for cancer treatment.
This is promising. Though these doctors are basing their opinions on the small number of studies conducted, they also recognize the need for more substantial studies. Randomized clinical trials in particular are crucial. And, to a large extent, they’re relying on anecdotal evidence.
Unfortunately, around 30% don’t feel qualified to recommend the treatment, even if they do discuss the possibility with their patients. Doctors simply do not have the education on dosing cannabis oil for cannabis to confidently provide prescriptions. This boils down to medical cannabis advancing faster than medical school curriculums. Even mid-career training conferences can’t keep up. Similarly, states with medical cannabis laws lack properly-fitted dispensaries and qualified budtenders to advise patients.
Researchers, led by Dr Ilana Braun who works as a cancer psychiatrist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, sent the survey out to 400 physicians in the country. It questioned physicians about medical cannabis. The survey did not include questions regarding the use of synthetic cannabinoids like dronabinol (Marinol), a synthetic form of THC. Marinol has already been approved for chemotherapy side effects.
Dr Jerry Mitchell who sits for the Ohio medical cannabis advisory board and works as a medical oncologist at the Zangmeister Cancer Center in Columbus, Ohio, weighed in the Dr Braun’s findings. Patients often ask him about cannabis oil for cancer. But various state laws stop doctors from having the freedom to bring up cannabis for treatment. Dr Mitchell, for instance, works in Ohio. He can’t bring the conversation up to his patients until legal dispensaries open in September 2019. Before then, recommendation of cannabis oil for cancer counts as promotion of illegal behaviour.
With the patchwork legislation and practice that shrouds medical cannabis, many patients are left to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Doctors simply don’t know what to prescribe.
One patient, Larry Lenkart (60), has been struggling to figure out the appropriate product and dose of medical cannabis. Lenkart was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in September 2018, and has since undergone 11 rounds of chemotherapy. He describes chemo as “like the worst flu you’ve ever had – just ongoing and ongoing” and has said how side effects like nausea, pain, and stomach cramps can last for up to 10 days following treatment.
Dr Braun’s survey backs this up. Around two thirds of the physicians in her survey reported that they’re comfortable recommending cannabis alongside conventional cancer treatments.
Other somewhat bizarre findings came out. Reasonably, her survey discovered that physicians in states with medical cannabis laws feel more confident in their knowledge of cannabis. This has a lot to do with exposure to the products. However, she found unexpected regional disparities. For instance, oncologists in the west are likely to discuss cannabis oil for cancer with their patients. On the other hand, southern oncologists were less likely. Furthermore, those working with out-patients in a larger practice were also more likely to recommend cannabis.
Dr Braun understands that lack of research is a serious concern. She knows that this influenced the opinions of the participating oncologists. She wants to study the use of cannabis oil for cancer and chemotherapy symptoms. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she’s hit roadblocks. Since cannabis is still federally a schedule 1 drug, she’s “in the process of installing an alarmed safe behind locked doors” just so she can work with the product. | 2019-04-26T01:39:49Z | http://cbdhealthcures.com/2019/02/17/cannabis-oil-for-cancer-recommended-by-more-doctors/ |
Regular buses run from hotels inside and outside the Disney World area. Disney runs its own bus service for guests in its hotels, but many other hotels also run similar services. Most buses drop off at the Transportation and Ticket Center, which is the car park area for Magic Kingdom. Check your hotel for information on whether they have a shuttle service or not and how often it runs.
Disney World has two monorails. Both run from the Transportation and Ticket Center. One goes to Magic Kingdom and the other to Epcot. The transportation and ticket center is near the Magic Kingdom and is in fact the Magic Kingdom car parking area. The Magic Kingdom Monorail service stops off at three Disney hotels which surround the Seven Seas Lagoon.
As well as monorail, car and bus, there is also a resort launch service between a variety of locations. Two large ferries run between the Transportation and Ticket Center and the Magic Kingdom. There are boats from the Magic Kingdom to the many resorts around the lagoon. | 2019-04-18T16:38:57Z | http://www.guide-to-disney.com/magic-kingdom/transportation.php |
Is awesome i mean in 3 years time ill be able to purchase a diamond graver how awesome is that?
500 silver from 75 vile, Dalies just took a huge leap in the wrong direction. Multiply by 10x, may be worth it.
The reason that the silver is only 1000 at the max level is because the daily quest system is currently tied to all level ranges. Hero Tokens can easily be gained through raids or by completing the new weekly quests that players haven't experienced yet.
We made most of the weekly quests earn a good amount of hero tokens which increase depending on the level of difficulty of the quest. Players will be able to earn hero tokens at a better rate with the weekly quests once we turn them on. Weekly quests will be turned on randomly (mostly targeted to start on the weekend) and players will have a limited amount of time to accept and complete them. We adjusted the daily quests to silver to incorporate the addition of these new quests.
There are other rewards that we can change the daily rewards to if player do not enjoy the silver reward but high level character won't be satisfied until we are able to make a change in the daily quest system to make rewards scale based on level.
Would it not be more useful if the amount of silver given varies depending on the level of the character?
My daily quest today was to kill 75 mobs in the vile realm and for that amount of effort (if I did nothing else on BOH that day) is a waste of time. Alternatively, if I had just wanted to earn 1000 silver, then I could have killed a few mobs and I would have earned that amount within a few seconds. The daily quest seems so pointless.
Well, if I get the db from normal play, I get. If I don't I don't. But until it gets adjusted Glenfort better get a good fire dept going!
Until you make a change in the daily quest system? Like the change you...just did?
I think the point was hugely missed. Players wanted a reward for dailies that made them want to do them. Now, HT wasn't good in the long run because a) people max HT eventually, or raid past a level where the rewards are vastly better than any daily bonus, and b) 25 HT at max level of daily is still very very poor even for a low level/might character.
A poor reward has been exchanged for a poor reward...make players want to do the dailies, and they will do them. It doesn't need to scale, just make the reward attractive to whatever toon completes them. Is 5 or 10k silver really going to be that hard to implement? Or is it because it disrupts the 'we want silver to be a chase item' direction the game has gone in?
Silver is already a chase item. You need millions of silver in diamond gravers just to transfer your enchants from item A to item B. Meet your player base halfway and at least make it slightly easier to get it. Forcing them down the gs route will backfire.
Instead of tying the reward to level, can each daily have its own silver value? For example, the Vile Realm ones may pay 5,000 silver but if you get a low level one like Kill Lockbolt (not sure if that is a real one, been so long since I have a toon at that level), you might only get 100 silver.

Silver rewards are way off. Try multiplying the daily reward amount by a person's level and you'll be in a good place. I get 5000 silver from a dungeon boss, but only 1000 for a daily reward?? Dailies are still far from worthwhile. Offer me something over 20k and you'll have my attention. Or some new prestige currency like medals in the arena. | 2019-04-19T05:01:47Z | https://www.venan.com/boh_forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7569 |

A novel bisphthalonitrile 5,5′-(pentane-1,5-diylbis(sulfanediyl))bis(4-((2-aminophenyl)thio)phthalonitrile) 2 was synthesized by a nucleophilic aromatic substitution of chloro atom of 4-(2′-aminophenyl sulfanyl)-5-chloro-benzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile 1 with dithiol functions of pentane-1,5-dithiole. The synthesis of polymeric phthalocyanine complexes 3 and 4 by cyclotetramerization of bisphthalonitrile derivative 2 were accomplished in the presence of appropriate metal salt in a Schlenk tube containing quinoline under nitrogen atmosphere. The investigation of metal-ion binding properties of bisphthalonitrile 2 and polymeric zinc(II) phthalocyanine 4 was performed by using liquid–liquid extraction procedure for 2 and solid–liquid extraction procedure for 4. Polymeric zinc(II) phthalocyanine 4 was found to extract Ag(II) and Hg(II) with high efficiency. The novel compounds were characterized by a combination of elemental analysis and 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and MS spectral data.

We believe that the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the infallible and inerrant word of God.
We believe in and worship the one living and triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever, the maker of heaven and earth.
We believe that God created mankind, male and female, morally upright and in His image. As a result of sin and rebellion against God, however, mankind has fallen from this upright condition and the image of God has been severely marred in him. We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
We believe that Jesus is the eternal Son of God who, in the fullness of time, took to Himself a human nature and was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life and offered Himself at the cross to make full atonement for sinners. We believe that on the third day He was raised from the dead and now sits at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for His people, until He comes again to judge the living and the dead.
We believe that salvation is a gracious gift of God from beginning to end and is obtained by God’s grace through the repenting of ones sin and placing one’s trust and faith completely in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
The Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Larger and Westminster Shorter Catechisms provide a more complete expression of what we believe the Bible teaches.
The truth of the Gospel. We share the commitment of Christians through the ages to the truths of the Gospel of salvation by grace through faith, a message that centers on the Person and work of Jesus as He is made known to us through the Bible by the Holy Spirit. In a confused world, we hear God speak with infallible authority in the Bible.
The riches of Christ. We are searching the Scriptures in order to discover and understand the treasure trove of truth and blessing that is the Christian’s inheritance through Jesus. At Immanuel we are learning together and helping each other understand and apply God’s word to the joys and challenges of our life circumstances.
Our fellowship in Jesus. At Immanuel Church God is building a community of people who have experienced His love in Jesus and who are learning how to love and serve each other for Jesus’ sake. This fellowship is a glorious and vital reality, and an oasis in our lonely and fractured society.
Our praise for God. Our amazement and delight at what God has done leads us to place an emphasis on joyful and reverent worship. Worship at Immanuel is traditional in style and centers on the praiseworthiness of God and His redeeming work through the atoning death and triumphant resurrection of Jesus.
You will see that we are committed to the inspiration and infallibility of the Bible as the very word of God. As a member of the Reformed family of churches, we accept the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Larger & Shorter Catechisms as a reliable (though not inspired) summary of what the Bible teaches. | 2019-04-21T22:07:06Z | https://immanuelonline.org/who-we-are/beliefs/ |
Over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, which is more than the number of people suffering from cancer, diabetes, and heart disease combined. Considering this statistic, the current opioid epidemic isn’t terribly surprising. And even over-the-counter medications have a variety of side effects that can lead to kidney, liver, and GI issues over time. For many of these people, there’s a solution: Quell 2.0, a completely drug-free, wearable device that blocks lower-extremity pain signals by stimulating nerves with high-frequency electrical stimulation. No bigger than the size of a credit card, the device is worn comfortably and discretely around the calf and is the only over-the-counter therapeutic pain device that’s been FDA-cleared for use while sleeping. This is important since there is a positive feedback loop between pain and sleep; pain leads to loss of sleep, and sleep loss leads to the exacerbation of pain.
Frank McGillin, COO of Quell, joins the podcast to discuss all the details of how the product works, feedback from chronic pain patients who’ve used it, how long it takes to start working, the device’s ability to track quality of life measures to provide users with useful information over time, and the soon-to-be-launched AI-assisted Quell product that utilizes years’ worth of data to make the device smarter and more personalized to the individual pain sufferer.

Lammy said the figures showed that many colleges at both Oxford and Cambridge failed to reflect the UK’s population, and called into question the universities’ claims to national standing.
Transgender bullying is on the rise. How can we stop misinformation spreading?
Though the visibility of trans issues has increased, inaccurate representations are behind an increase in bullying, according to Mermaids, Britain’s support group for families of trans children.
While John Major and Tony Blair struggle with their Brexit defeat, the prime minister has read the national mood and is successfully navigating it // SHE IS NAVIGATING IT? OTHERS WOULD SAY like Blair SHE SITS THERE AS PASSENGER. // Culture and identity tend to be treated as peripheral expressions of whatever is happening in the economy, which is sometimes true but not always. May understands that. She is a more astute culture warrior than economist, and for now that is serving her well. // HAPPY TO DO HARD BREXIT EVEN IF IT HURTS THE ECONOMY "make the best of it" // To win power from New Labour, Cameron adapted to Blairish mode: self-consciously modern, socially liberal, metropolitan and relaxed about Europe. [...] There was always something absurd about “anti-establishment” language in the plummy tones of Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage. But their campaign did capture a rebellious spirit. Partly it was generalised frustration at the state of everything; partly it was counter-revolution – the backlash by people who sensed that their lives, interests and anxieties were the punchline to a joke at a fancy London dinner party. [...] liberals haven’t grasped the scale of their defeat. That is good for May, who navigates through the middle. | 2019-04-21T08:14:08Z | http://pinboard.in/u:asterisk2a/t:speech/ |

Airbus Helicopters delivered 409 rotorcraft and logged gross orders for 350 helicopters (net: 335) in 2017, with a strong commercial performance on the heavy and super-medium segments. The company booked 54 orders for helicopters of the Super Puma family and 19 orders for the super-medium H175, confirming those types as best-sellers on their respective market segments. Bookings also included 168 orders for light-single engine helicopters and 105 orders for the H135/H145 light-twins. At the end of 2017, the overall backlog stood at 692 helicopters.
“We are now closing the first chapter of the company-wide transformation launched in 2014, which has allowed us to become stronger and leaner in a challenging market environment. Our 2017 results are a testimony to the great work done by our teams to transform our industrial operations, improve our products & services, while delivering an ambitious innovation roadmap to prepare the future of vertical flight”, said Guillaume Faury, Airbus Helicopters Chief Executive Officer. “As we launch a second wave of company transformation this year, our main focus will be to speed up these efforts through increased digitalisation of our products, services and operations – for the benefit of our customers and the safety of our fleet”.
Last year saw major progress being made on new products, including the H160 – first of the “H Generation” – with three prototypes now in flight-testing ahead of certification in 2019. A full-scale firing campaign of the HForce weapon system was also carried out successfully on the H145M, which will benefit from improved and modular military capabilities by the end of 2018. The year was also marked by the launch of ACH (Airbus Corporate Helicopters) through which the company is able to offer high quality design and specifications across its range of helicopters to private and business customers.
In 2017, Airbus Helicopters completed the implementation of its revamped industrial model with the inauguration of its blade production facility in Paris-Le Bourget, which will be fully part of the new site specialisation strategy integrating the Marignane, Donauwörth and Albacete plants. On the international stage, the company delivered the 400th UH-72 Lakota to the US Army and broke ground on its first helicopter final assembly line in China, with initial deliveries expected in 2019. | 2019-04-20T17:01:12Z | https://helihub.com/2018/01/23/airbus-reports-on-2017-orders-and-deliveries/ |

What’s not to like about Multileaders? They’re easy to use and to edit. You can add or remove leaders in a couple of clicks. You can even group them or align them if they get out of whack.
In just a couple of sentences, I’ve already described their versatility, but they have the potential to be even more flexible, as you have the ability to make them look exactly like you want. Let’s have some fun and see what we can create.
The Multileader Style dialog has a lot of options. Below, I’ve changed the Leader Format to Spline, which seems to be more fun than Straight. But let’s focus on the Arrowhead Symbol. Expand the list and you have a lot of symbols to choose from. Check out the last option… you can insert any existing block in your drawing file to use as the arrowhead! I have a neat pointing hand already defined, so let’s use it.
Switching our focus to the other end of the Multileader, we move to the content tab of the dialog. If you change the Multileader type from Mtext to Block, the tab will change from the Mtext options to Block options. Here, again, you can choose some pre-defined blocks or choose your own. We were after something fun, so I’ll select a stop sign block that was in my drawing.
So, there you have it. Your own custom Multileader with user defined blocks on each end. I tried to demonstrate this by creating a style that’s more comical than useful, but you may very well have an application where your need to use your own content for either end.
If you need a Multileader that’s different than what’s offered from the standard menu, don’t worry. Like the old burger commercial said… have it your way, with Multileaders (hold the pickles).

It was a rare situation in the special class, where a student had challenged her teacher to prove the correctness of the answers given by the students. The teacher had approved all the answers of the students as correct. The Question and answer session was going on the ‘birds’. He was asking questions one by one to the students and getting the answers.
“Can anyone in the class tell me in brief about the bird ‘Sooty Tern'? asked the teacher.
Yet another boy answered in a different way, which was not at all connected to the bird. The teacher picked up a paper containing the questionnaire on birds. It was better, if he had searched the answers. He went on asking questions one by one given in the paper. He didn’t bother, whether students were giving correct answers or not.
It was a surprise and insult to the teacher to hear such comments from a student. He stared at her.
“Divya, I will repeat the questions. Tell me in brief about ‘Sooty Tern’” asked the teacher.
“It is Cassowary.” Divya was quick in her reply.
bird is Andean Condor. The highest flying bird is Egyptian Geese. The largest wingspan bird is Wandering Albatross. The fastest swimmer bird is Penguin. The best song bird is Indian bird Shama,” said Divya without a break.
It was a surprise for the teacher to hear answers from Divya so fast. He was not in a position to ask her further questions, as the questions in the list were over.
Every one in the class, including the teacher, was surprised to know the little girl’s knowledge on birds. The teacher was in a precarious position and apologized to Divya. On that day the lecturer of local college, who had good knowledge on birds was asked to conduct the class, did not turn up. He had sent a message that he would be available after one hour. One of the teachers of the school was asked to take up the class for just an hour. He had expressed his unwillingness as he was not confident in the subject. He was persuaded to pull on for an hour. It was true that he was asked to take up the class for one hour not on birds but on the subject he was handling. He commenced the class straight away by asking questions. He was supposed to speak something about the birds and then ask questions. The Head Master of the school had called this teacher and asked the reason for creating an awkward position. He accepted his mistake and requested the head master to pardon him this time. He was given caution suitably not to repeat like this.
There was a practice in the Model Higher primary School, Pavanpur to conduct a special class once a week for one hour on specialized subjects like birds, animals, creatures and general knowledge. These classes were arranged under the extra curricular activities. All the students, irrespective of the class, were allowed to participate actively. This type of special class was conducted once a week, except on Sundays and holidays, at a convenient time. For each class, local degree college lecturers having studied in the subject were invited to conduct the class. Interested teaching staff members of the school were allowed to sit along with the students. The meeting hall of Town Municipal Council, Pavanpur was spared for conduct of such class. This building was situated just a kilometer away from the river Triveni. The natural scenes with full of tall trees and varieties of flying birds were of great attraction for the students.
Little girl Divya was honoured by the school as a ‘little ornithologist’ by giving a certificate at the Annual Day function. | 2019-04-23T02:12:14Z | https://www.induswomanwriting.com/little-ornithologist.html |
But when it comes to customer experience (CX), the most effective path to major improvements is not necessarily accomplished through seismic shifts or dramatic innovations—the next Alexa or Uber. Instead, companies can often make major gains by creating a culture of continual improvement—a constant tweaking of systems and processes. These tweaks happen when they continually identify, prioritize, and address distinct pain points along the customer journey and lifecycle.
This article will describe how to implement an incremental and iterative approach to CX design and execution. We will demonstrate how numerous small improvements can roll up to create significant value and yield impressive ROI.
There’s no doubt that large investments to improve the customer experience can yield positive ROI. But does one need to throw billions, or even hundreds of million, of dollars at CX to move the needle?
1. Map the customer’s journey in detail—what it is today vs. what it needs to be tomorrow.
When customers contemplate a purchase, they embark on a journey: They evaluate their needs, explore which companies can solve those needs, make a purchase decision, take possession of the product, and begin using it.
Any customer journey can be segmented into dozens or even hundreds of micro-steps. The challenge is to step into the shoes of customers and walk the journey, mapping out the details across the customer lifecycle (awareness, research, selection, purchase, usage, and maintenance) that hopefully lead to repeat purchases.
Once you map out such a journey in as much detail as possible, the next step is to look for ways to improve each step the customer takes. What improvements can make the journey easier, faster, or more pleasant, without causing major organizational disruption for the company? For example, minor improvements in the usability of a smartphone app could improve CX in ways that yield significant ROI. According to research from Forrester and the National Retail Federation (NRF), smartphones are driving retail sales more than ever.
2. Map your own capabilities—what they are today vs. what they need to be tomorrow.
Having mapped your customer’s current journey and pinpointed changes that could yield significant improvements, your next step is to match those changes to your organization’s capabilities.
A customer enterprise framework, as shown in Figure 3, can be a valuable tool to determine which skills, business processes, systems, and technology infrastructure need improvements.
Consider, for example, the case of a large internet/cable/phone company that had to improve the customer experience provided by its contact centers. Its average care times were much longer than the industry average, leading to customer frustration and significantly increased operating costs. Further investigation identified the root of the problem: outdated technology coupled with inefficient processes. Customers were handed off from one representative to another, while the reps themselves struggled to cope with more than a dozen disparate IT systems. By adding a bit more automation to the front-end process, feeding web leads into a CRM workflow, and improving the IT interface (allowing the call center reps to see information from multiple systems at once), the company decreased handling time. These relatively minor and focused improvements had a big impact on CX. And they were the tip of the iceberg in the company’s CX initiative.
The CX stakes have never been higher than they are today. The ease of digital interactions and rising expectations for instant attention and service have made customers increasingly willing to shift their spending to a competitor even after just one negative experience.
In this environment, companies must continuously look to improve the end-to-end customer experience—not tomorrow, with massive initiatives that may take years to implement, but right now. But companies trying to implement a culture of continuous CX improvement should also expect internal pushback. The biggest barriers to achieving better CX are often cultural rather than technological.
The cable operator’s contact center had long been synonymous with personalized, high-touch service. Although research showed that customers now prefer faster, more efficient and automated interactions, the head of the customer care center worried that efficiency and automation would cost some of his employees their jobs. He did not recognize that in an era where cable companies must compete with a growing array of new competitors like Netflix and Hulu, the bigger risk was that dissatisfied customers would simply take their business elsewhere, potentially endangering the jobs of all the cable company’s employees.
the money now”). Such objections do not hold water. There are ways to make CX better within any budget.
If money is tight, the best thing is to start small, but make sure that those narrow changes will have the biggest possible impact.
In this way, you can demonstrate the value of CX improvements and secure funding for additional incremental improvements that will roll up into a big step forward.

The United States of America is a vast, beautiful place. The land where our country sits varies in just about every conceivable way, from topography to climate. All these rolling hills and highways and coasts, plains, and more bears witness to generations of history. The best way to really discover them all is to take a road trip.
You may be thinking, it’s wintertime—shouldn’t we wait until the summer to go driving? Hotter temperatures are not always your friend, especially when considering traveling with the family. And while there are unique difficulties on the road in the cold, it may be the only season where you can truly feel one with nature.
In the north, leaves are turning and snow lies still atop some of the most breathtaking mountain views. The desert, plains, and southern coastal regions all have their own unique draws. Not to mention the added chance that locals have dressed up their respective scenery for the holiday season, adding to the tender spirit of your journey.
Many prefer a summer vacation, but road tripping in winter will eliminate or at least improve some of the more mundane parts of the drive, namely traffic. Check out our 10 favorite winter road trips and start planning your odyssey.
Just south of Miami is the entrance to the internationally renowned network of keys, starting at Key Largo. The Overseas Highway (also known as US1, which extends from I-95) conveniently connects all the shallow islands, making it a whopping 113-mile one-way drive. You won’t be able to stop at every single key along the way (there are over 1700!), but there are plenty of roadside attractions to visit even if you’re just looking for some seafood and key lime pie.
If you are a completionist, taking the PCH may be an intimidating task. The scenic route stretches for just under 700 miles, so to experience it all at once would take several days. But even shorter stints along the highway can create lasting memories. Possible stops, depending on your starting and ending points, could include Big Sur, where you’ll cross the photogenic Bixby Bridge; the sleepy, art community of Carmel-by-the-Sea; and the opulent missionary town, San Simeon.
There are many ways to travel through Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and at the peak of tourist season, you may need to map alternatives to avoid bottlenecked traffic. In the winter, this should not be a problem. The Cades Cove entrance is bountiful, featuring nature preserves and historic buildings to explore as well. If you find yourself close to the Foothills Parkway, take that detour for some of the best panoramic views in the entire park.
The round-trip loop from Lincoln to Franconia to Bartlett to Conway in New Hampshire is doable in one day, with places to stop and stay overnight at your discretion. The mountain views, especially with white sheets of snow everywhere, are unforgettable. The towns along the way have historic and picturesque attractions of their own.
The Dakotas are frequently overlooked as vacation destinations, but driving through the Badlands National Park in the south is worth your while. You can incorporate Mount Rushmore into your trip, or take an entirely different approach, which will lead you deep into the heart of the Great Plains region. Mountains and plateaus intermingle with hot springs and even archaeologically significant sites as well.
Not only considered by many early environmentalists such as John Muir as one of the most beautiful places on earth, Glacier National Park in Montana also becomes a haven for sports in the winter. The Grinnell Trail, named for 19th-century naturalist George Bird Grinnell, is a popular route that winds through mountains and brush, touching on ever-shrinking glacial formations. This park sits on the country’s northern border, and in fact, overlaps with Canada’s Waterton Lakes National Park to form what is known as an International Peace Park.
More than just skiing awaits you along your drive to Steamboat Springs. You can take route 40 through the town, which will surround you on all sides with mountains, hot springs, and waterfalls. Look at the trails ahead of time to map out the sights you would like to see to streamline your drive and spend all your time with the landscape.
Many places claim to be the Christmas tree capital of the world, but Oregon has the best stake over the claim. You can find the winter wonderland of your dreams when you travel along highway 99 to the Christmas Fantasy Trail just outside Portland. Exploring outward from Portland will lead you to Mount Hood, which, aside from the majestic views, includes a potentially still active volcano (though the last time it erupted was 1907).
Choose your path wisely and you can visit Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, and Big Sur all in one go. We admit that would be ambitious, but if you are traveling light and plan ahead, it could be a life-changing road trip through California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range out to the coast. Each stop is a tourist haven, with even more chances to enjoy the scenery in winter.
For newcomers to Arizona, we have the road trip to end all road trips. Starting at Saguaro National Park, which is resplendent in the namesake cactus species, it is a quick drive up to Phoenix, which can be a good place to rest or explore, depending on your priorities. From there, it is a direct shot to Seligman, a classic Route 66 town whose monuments remain from its heyday. Then it is a quick drive to arguably the most magnificent of all of America’s sights: the Grand Canyon. | 2019-04-22T18:06:11Z | https://www.mydomaine.com/winter-road-trips |

Theory Of Machines And Mechanisms By John J. Uicker, Gordon R. Pennock, Joseph E. Shigley Theory of Machines and Mechanisms published in 2009 by Oxford University Press, is the third edition of the textbook meant for both undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical engineering. For the benefit of the students, the book has been divided into three parts. Part one is about kinematics and mechanisms, part two is about the design of mechanisms, and part three is about the dynamics of machines. Part one contains information about basic topics such as velocity, acceleration, position and displacement, and the world of mechanism. Part two explains topics like gears, synthesis of linkages, cam design, robotics, mechanism trains, and so on. Part 3 includes essential topics on the dynamics of machines such as vibration analysis, balancing, cam dynamics, gyroscopes, dynamics of reciprocating engines, flywheels, planar and spatial dynamic force analysis, and static force analysis. The exercises and the solved problems allow the students to practise their knowledge better. John J. Uicker teaches mechanical engineering in University of Wisconsin, Madison. Gordon R. Pennock teaches mechanical engineering at Purdue University, Indiana. Joseph E. Shigley was a faculty of mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan. Mr. Joseph authored several books on mechanical engineering including Mechanical Engineering Design, Bearings and Lubrication: A Mechanical Designer's Workbook, Fastening, Joining and Connecting: A Mechanical Designer's Workbook. | 2019-04-22T00:51:19Z | https://www.bookchor.com/book/9780198062325/Theory-Of-Machines-And-Mechanisms |

Cities usually have codes for using certain types of conduits, so make sure you talk with your local building department. When you have, decide if you'd like the conduit to run under or above ground.
The voltage of a hot tub is higher than regular home outlets, so you will need to install a breaker to your electrical control box. If you are not familiar with electrical systems, it is best to hire an electrician to assist you in this aspect of installation. Outdoor Hot Tub Guys has all these facilities in Avilla, IN and we are always available to do the installation.
An unfilled hot tub can weigh upwards of 800 pounds, so it's important to know how you will get it from the delivery van to your backyard. Make sure that the width of the tub will pass through any gates, foliage, or structures with enough leeway.at Outdoor Hot Tub Guys in Avilla, IN we always make sure we offer delivery services for our customers so as to make sure everything gets home safely.

The complicated social behaviors of ants were a lot studied by way of technological know-how, and desktop scientists are actually discovering that those habit styles provides types for fixing tough combinatorial optimization difficulties. The try to advance algorithms encouraged through one element of ant habit, the power to discover what computing device scientists may name shortest paths, has turn into the sphere of ant colony optimization (ACO), the main winning and well known algorithmic process in accordance with ant habit. This ebook provides an outline of this swiftly turning out to be box, from its theoretical inception to useful functions, together with descriptions of many to be had ACO algorithms and their uses.
The booklet first describes the interpretation of saw ant habit into operating optimization algorithms. The ant colony metaheuristic is then brought and considered within the normal context of combinatorial optimization. this can be via a close description and consultant to all significant ACO algorithms and a document on present theoretical findings. The publication surveys ACO functions now in use, together with routing, task, scheduling, subset, computer studying, and bioinformatics difficulties. AntNet, an ACO set of rules designed for the community routing challenge, is defined intimately. The authors finish by way of summarizing the growth within the box and outlining destiny learn instructions. each one bankruptcy ends with bibliographic fabric, bullet issues commencing vital principles lined within the bankruptcy, and routines. Ant Colony Optimization could be of curiosity to educational and researchers, graduate scholars, and practitioners who desire to the way to enforce ACO algorithms.

The signal template s will be the weight vector, and the observation x is applied as its input. The bias term is threshold, and the output = 1 if the presence of the signal is detected. A multilayer perceptron can also be used to implement a nonlinear matched filter if the output activation function is a threshold function. By the same token, a support vector machine is also a plausible neural network structure to realize a nonlinear matched filter. 6 Time Series Modeling A time series is a sequence of readings as a function of time.
In the following layers, each unit sums its inputs and adds a bias or threshold term to the sum and nonlinearly transforms the sum to produce an output. This nonlinear transformation is called the activation function of the unit. The output layer units often have linear activations. In the remainder of this chapter, linear output layer activations are assumed. The layers sandwiched between the input layer and output layer are called hidden layers, and units in hidden layers are called hidden units.
The resulting mean square error Et , after we compress the M outputs down to M , is given by M Et = Et + λi i=M +1 where λi s are the ith singular values of the desired outputs’ covariance matrix. For each value of i, the sizing algorithm generates all possible MLP configurations and their predicted training MSE using M values between 1 and M. The algorithm sifts through these potential configurations and saves those that have the lowest training MSE for a given number of hidden units. The final output of our algorithm is the sequence of ordered pairs, Et (i), Nh (i) .

HERE IS A 2011 NEW YEAR CONTRACT for you… with a Prayer and Good Wishes for this coming new year!
“Auld Lang Syne” is a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and is set to the tune of a traditional folk song.
It is well known in many English-speaking (and other) countries and is often sung to celebrate the start of the New Year at the stroke of midnight.
Consequently “For auld lang syne”, as it appears in the first line of the chorus, is loosely translated as “for (the sake of) old times”.
The song begins by posing a rhetorical question as to whether it is right that old times be forgotten, and is generally interpreted as a call to remember long-standing friendships.
After serious & cautious consideration… your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2011.
It was a very hard decision to make… So try not to screw it up!!!
May 2011 be the best year of your life!!!
This New Year’s contract was forwarded to me today by a friend, and I’m passing it along to you!
I pray for all of us that this coming New Year brings with it more prosperity for God’s people; more opportunities to tell people about Jesus, and see souls saved and brought into the Kingdom of God.
I pray it is a year for spiritual awakening and revival in the U.S. and around the world; and I pray also that it will be a year that we see some long overdue changes in our government, as more and more people today are becoming aware, and are signing up for this ongoing process (already begun) to re-inhabit our Constitutional Republic, and take back our government!

It was a very unfortunate day, the day that I realized you were not only out of reach, but you were moving the way ghosts do – we don’t see them, and can’t hear them. You were so used to being as light as air, to your silence echoing around you, that intense ringing in your ears. It could only be deafening to those who did not understand it. And that’s when it hit me: we spoke the same language. And you were a ghost I could see. I saw you so clearly, so forcefully that I wanted to borrow your magical hands to paint you on one of your canvases.
The colors would pour you, all over the white space, that white space that you craved. But those around you, they didn’t understand it. How could someone so strong be simultaneously fragile? You wanted freedom, you wanted power, and they tried to offer it to you, gold-plated with your name on it. They swore you wouldn’t need anything else, you would be safe, you would be secure, and there was nothing to be afraid of. Did they know that while you listened to the silence, you spoke to your demons? You whispered that you needed to stay…to stay yourself. It was slowly withering away, this sense of self, this you that you had been so sure of. There were fragments of your soul, pieces of yourself, memories of your body, left everywhere. It started when you were so young. Betrayal. The closest person to you, your safety net, kicked you out of her womb. And then came the savior, who reminded you that people fall out of love with you too. And it was nothing that you had done, it was not your fault. You realized that things fall apart, no matter how tightly you try to hold them together. You plunged deeper into your world, into depths that they could no longer reach. And yet they were all under the illusion that they built you a home.
But I saw beauty. It was a beauty I had not come across before and it demanded attention. It required a moment of silence – it seemed to have been buried a long time ago. Yet there was that flicker of life in your piercing eyes, and even my impenetrable soul stopped and looked at you – and I just knew. I heard the untold stories, the unspoken fears, and the confusion. And I refrained from touching your hand, afraid that I would touch air, and I would come back to a reality that reminded me of the impossibility of a union with a Ghost. | 2019-04-23T00:32:15Z | https://drshahdalshammari.wordpress.com/2014/11/ |
This week, our second #1MCstp presenter was Kate Chamberlin, President of AWV Complete.
AWV Complete simplifies and automates Medicare’s Annual Wellness Visits to increase patient care and profits.
With 57 million patients on Medicare in 2016, the federal budget was $588B. That number is expected to increase to 80 million patients by 2030, at a cost of $1,536B. The Affordable Health Care Act of 2010 instituted a number of changes including the use of Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) as a way to increase prevention and reduce future costs.
The Annual Wellenss Visit covers three areas: Preventative Services, Health Risks and Lifestyle, and Untreated Conditions. Preventative Services include vaccinations, “like your flu shot,” Kate explained. “The second area, Lifestyle, addresses questions like, “What do you eat? Do you exercise? and Do you smoke?” The last area, Untreated Conditions, “gives the patient the opportunity to report any concerns” or bring up any health issues that haven’t been addressed.Normally, these Annual Wellness Visits are completed in a 3-part process. Patient data is collected, including all the information about Preventative Services, Lifestyle, and Untreated Conditions. Next, it has to be determined that the patient is eligible and which services they qualify for; for example, if a patient doesn’t smoke, they won’t be eligible for a smoking cessation program. Finally, after the visit, the doctor’s office has to provide a personalized report to give to the patient. This covers all the questions asked, the answers that were given, and individual recommendations on what to do next.
The benefits of the Annual Wellness Visit are numerous. Patients benefit from the “delay, detection, and prevention of serious illness.” It also encourages return visits and a prevention mindset. “You get them think about prevention and what they can do,” Kate said. In addition, the customized plan gives specific information about what services can be utilized; the majority of these had copays removed by Congress, making it an affordable solution to health concerns.
These improved patient outcomes also benefit doctors; “this is what the doctors are trying to do – that’s why they practice medicine.” The detail and optimization that goes into the Annual Wellness Visit also allows for more focused follow-up visits, which helps save doctors’ time. Lastly, doctors have increased profits, “now that we don’t have to compete for more money out of the budget,” Kate said.
Unfortunately, less than 18% of individuals on Medicare had an Annual Wellness Visit in 2016, with 47 million people failing to take advantage of this opportunity. Why? There are numerous obstacles, such as a lack of time, low priority, no system, and low capacity.
“So our solution is we took the process I told you about and we automated it,” Kate said. AWV Complete collects patient data directly in their software. Then, the system uses numerous algorithms to determine eligibility. “We cannot – as a company – practice medicine. So what happens if a patient needs a flu shot? Well, we have a custom database, so the doctor can decide ahead of time if they want the patient to come back or go to a local pharmacist.” The AWV Complete software also assist with documentation output, helping create a report for the patient, “so they can easily understand what the next steps are,” Kate said. AWV Complete also helps increase capacity by taking the burden off doctors and nurses and supplementing it with callers to collect data and engage the patient, on-site nurses to complete the visit, and account managers to make sure everything is completed properly.
AWV Complete offers their services in three different tiers: Software as a Service (SaaS), Tele-Service that includes calling and engagement, and full-service, turn-key Wellness Visits with AWV Max. The company recently signed up 80 doctors and have begun to engage larger firms with multiple practitioners.
Kate said that we can help by extending introductions. “If you happen to know any internists or family practices,” please help Kate connect with them. In addition, she’s open to talking with physician’s groups or other larger centers.
If you would like to connect with Kate, she can be contacted at or Kate.AWV@gmail.com or (727) 637-4150. | 2019-04-23T22:17:08Z | https://stpetegreenhouse.com/blog/1mcstp__awv-complete__10-18-17 |
The top reason sellers have been in the catbird seat for the past several years? Inventory. There simply weren't enough homes on the market to keep up with buyer demand. And when a "For Sale" sign did go up, you can bet a bidding war would soon follow. "You might have been the only listing in your neighborhood, and you could put your home up at a certain list price and you would likely see multiple offers at or above that list price," Hale explains. That tide is turning this year, Hale says. That's because the number of homes for sale is finally increasing, albeit slowly. For now, buyers still outnumber inventory. But if you're thinking about selling and don't want to compete with your neighbors, it'll pay off (literally) to list earlier rather than later. (This is particularly true in pricier markets, where inventory is increasing at a faster rate than more affordable areas.) "It's going to depend on what neighborhood you're in, but we expect it to be more common this year that you won't be the only listing," Hale says.
Home prices have been on a meteoric rise for the past seven years. In January 2012, the U.S. median home price was $154,700. Today, that figure has nearly doubled—to $289,300—and sellers have rejoiced. Now comes a twist: 15% of all home listings saw price cuts in January, according to realtor.com data. That might sound like bad news if you're thinking of selling. But hear us out: Those moderating prices, combined with today's mortgage rates (more on that below), mean increased buyer demand for your house. Plus, it's not that home prices aren't still increasing—they're just not increasing at the frenzied pace of previous years, which often featured multiple offers at or above asking price, Hale says. So even though you might have some more competition as a seller, things are still looking pretty sweet for you when it comes to cold, hard cash. "Even if you don't get an offer above your asking price, you're probably still going to come away with a handsome profit from being a seller in 2019," Hale says. But again, it'll pay to put your home on the market as soon as you can—before conditions change. "Sellers who list their homes earlier in the year tend to get a higher sales price, often above list, and shorter days on market," says Ali Wolf, director of economic research at Meyers Research.
Something strange has been happening over the past few months. Experts predicted mortgage rates would rise—and at the end of 2018, they were indeed ticking upward as expected. But since the start of the year, rates on a 30-year fixed mortgage (the most popular home loan) have been falling, sliding last week to a new 12-month low of 4.37%. And of course, those historically low mortgage rates mean you could have more buyers knocking on your door. Plus, this temporary dip in rates creates an opportunity for trade-up buyers as well. After all, if you're selling your home, there's a good chance you'll need to buy another one. Bottom line: Now's the time to hustle and get both transactions done. "Sellers need to take advantage of low rates as much as buyers do," Wolf says. "Sellers don’t want to get stuck in their homes when rates go up and the math no longer makes sense to move."
Historically speaking, people tend to buy their first home around age 30. And guess what? We've got a whole bunch of people turning 30 in the next two years—nearly 5 million, in fact, according to realtor.com data. So you can count on those millennials to be a driving force in the housing market. "Millennials want to own a home as much as prior generations," Wolf says. "We saw millennial shoppers scooping up homes in 2018—and 2019 will be no different." What's more, Hale adds, is that you won't just be seeing demand from first-time buyers. Older millennials in their middle to late 30s have already owned a home for a few years, and could be looking at now as a prime time to trade up. "From a seller’s perspective, you’re going to have possibly more interested buyers," Hale says. "So that’s motivation to put your house on the market."
Selling your home for top dollar is our mission here at Greater Boston Realty. We want to make sure that you get the selling price that you deserve for your Boston area home! One of the best ways to ensure that this happens (and that the sale also happens quickly) is to make a few upgrades to entice potential buyers.
First and foremost, you should focus on fixing anything that has broken or worn down in your home. Fix any leaky faucets, replace worn cabinet hardware, etc.
Want a big bang for your buck? Look into a fresh coat of paint. Often, we recommend neutral colors since they have mass appeal to buyers. It’s also something that you can do as much of or as little of as you like – paint the whole house or just the one or two rooms that will make the most impact.
New buyers will do a double-take if they see that your home has new carpeting. Is there anything that a buyer likes more than a new fluffy carpet? Again, choose something neutral that will appeal to all buyers.
It’s important to remember, however, that every home is different. To find out what types of improvements we would recommend in order to help your home sell fast and for top dollar, call Greater Boston Realty today at 617-469-4040 and set up an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Realtors.
The most advantageous part of executing a move yourself is the financial savings. Since you will be putting in the time to pack, load, transfer, unload, and unpack your belongings, you will save a lot of money by doing the work yourself. This is much more attainable for people with fewer belongings, lots of friends that are willing to help, and a short distance to move.
If you are willing to spend more and hire professional movers, you will gain the aid of experienced and insured movers that will take care of the manual labor involved in a move. In addition, if the movers pack your belongings, you will often be compensated for anything that is damaged during transport. Hiring movers is more expensive, but often significantly reduces the stress inherent in the moving process.
No matter which way you decide to get your belongings from Point A to Point B, you can rest assured that your home will be taken care of with the help of the real estate agents here at Greater Boston Realty. If you’re in the market for a premier real estate expert, call our office at 617-469-4040 now to schedule a free consultation.
Spring has finally arrived here in Massachusetts, and that can only mean one thing: better weather is finally coming! As we prepare for it to be warmer and for the snow to melt, we also get ready for the real estate market to pick up. Many buyers have been putting off looking at homes during the winter, but they will soon begin to hunt for their dream home – could yours be ‘the one’ for them?
There are many reasons why Spring is the perfect time to have a home on the market. One is this: it is the time that most people start to look in order to purchase and be settled before fall – the start of a new school year. Families with children often want to move in the summer so that their kids’ school schedules aren’t disrupted like they would be in the middle of the year. This means that if you’re looking to sell a home with multiple bedrooms, you shouldn’t wait to list it!
Our experienced real estate professionals can help you with all of the preparations you will need to make in order to list your home as quickly as possible so that you can take advantage of the Spring selling season, like how to stage your home and what simple repairs you can make to ensure that your home is at its best.
If you want your home to be found by these springtime buyers that will soon begin to search for their new home, call Greater Boston Realty. We are a local Roslindale real estate agency, and we will help you list your home so that it’s seen by potential buyers. With this springtime lighting, it will be easy to make your home ‘pop’ in marketing photos! One quick call to 617-469-4040 is all it takes to start the process, so don’t delay.
Here at Greater Boston Realty, we give people advice on the best way to get their home ready to sell. We always recommend that a home look fresh and clean, and one of the best ways to make a good first impression on a potential buyer is with clean and stain-free carpets.
· Carpets should be vacuumed regularly to remove the everyday grit and grime that accumulates. To go above and beyond, use a carpet cleaning powder. These often help with set-in stains and eliminate odors.
· If something is spilled, take care to blot the stain to absorb the excess liquid. Don’t rub it in – this will only spread the problem and push it further into the carpet’s fibers. There are many household products that will help remove a stain if blotting alone doesn’t solve the problem. These include vinegar, club soda, and even shaving cream!
· Spot cleaning isn’t a long-term solution. Deep cleaning your carpets before you list your home on the market will ensure that it looks new when buyers come to tour. You have the option of purchasing your own carpet cleaner or hiring a local professional to do the job with their commercial grade equipment.
Want more advice on how to get your home ready for a showing? Read our blog post on being showing-ready and call our office at 617-469-4040 to learn more home staging tips. Our agents will help you sell your home for top dollar, so don’t hesitate – call Greater Boston Realty to tell us about your home!
As Bob Dylan would say, “The Times They Are a-Changing” With the emergence of technology, the way that we live has changed so much over the last several decades, and the same is true with the way that we sell houses.
And while it doesn’t necessarily pertain to the house itself, another way to attract millennial buyers is to hire a real estate agent that can speak their language. Marketing materials for your home should include well-staged, high resolution pictures, as well as references to the items in the above list.
In addition, communication should be early and often for every buyer, especially those of younger generations who live life in the fast lane, and will often get frustrated if they feel ‘out of the loop.’ If you’re looking for a real estate agent with experience selling to buyers of all ages, call Greater Boston Realty at 617-469-4040.

There isn’t one definitive signal that you’re ready, but if you’re in a place financially that you can handle a mortgage payment, and if the Greater Boston area is going to be your home for at least the near future, you should look into the benefits of owning your own place.
Why Should I Buy Instead of Renting?
The biggest reason that home ownership makes more sense than continuing to rent is that your monthly payments are put toward an investment. When you pay off your mortgage, you will own your home, instead of paying off a lease and having nothing to show for it.
Buying a home, especially your first home, is very hard to do on your own. As experienced real estate agents, the staff at Greater Boston Realty are trained to help you find the right home, and will also help you navigate the process of purchasing the home. We can introduce you to other Boston professionals, like lenders, appraisers, home insurance providers, and more.
Having a great real estate agent can take a lot of stress out of the first-time home buying process, so call Greater Boston Realty at 617-469-4040 today. We can help you hit the ground running in the search for your new home.
Having a large mortgage payment: A mortgage payment may seem like a looming and ever-present obligation, but let’s face it – so is paying rent. The good news is that with a mortgage payment, you will eventually own your home and no longer owe!
Buying a home with structural issues: It’s nerve-wracking to think that you may buy something that’s less than perfect and not even know it. But that’s why you will hire a Massachusetts home inspection professional before you sign anything. A qualified inspector will alert you to any issues with the home so that you can make an informed decision.
Maintaining a home: When you rent, you can simply call someone if something breaks. When you own a home, repairs are up to you. This may seem like a big task at first, but often homeowners enjoy learning how to do simple DIY repairs. For bigger tasks, there are many reliable and knowledgeable handymen and tradesmen here in Boston that can help you. Before you buy, make sure that you get a copy of any Homeowner’s Association requirements so that you can familiarize yourself with the upkeep required in your neighborhood, if applicable.
Still have concerns about whether now is the right time to buy a home in the Boston area? Call 617-469-4040 to speak to a Greater Boston Realty professional. Our real estate agents can help you understand why owning a home may be the right path for you and your family. | 2019-04-23T17:00:38Z | http://www.greaterbostonrealty.com/Blog/Archive/Page/1 |
Danny vs. the internet: Gramercy Tavern Gingerbread Stout Cake!
I made a delicious gingerbread made with Guinness so it has a nice rich flavor and it uses my favorite spice - Cardamom! It's not quite complete, it needs a sprinkling of powdered sugar when it's cool.
I got the recipe from Epicurious.com, where I get a lot of my recipes.

Plot Summary: Academy Award®-winning director Brad Bird ("The Incredibles") and the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios ("Cars," "Finding Nemo") take you into an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination of a rat and a 5-star gourmet restaurant come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.
In the hilarious new animated-adventure, "Ratatouille," a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.
Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Directed by Academy Award®-winner Brad Bird and co-directed by Academy Award®-winner Jan Pinkava ("Geri's Game").

Many of our surveyors can advise on planning matters and prepare and submit the necessary documentation. Services extend from preliminary advice regarding planning matters to the presentation of planning appeals at public hearings.
Provide advice on planning matters.
Agree with the client an appropriate planning strategy.
Submit a planning application for the required works. This may be as simple as an application for a change of use of the premises or a more significant new-build residential scheme.
They will endeavour to identify any additional reports or supporting information required. For example, an arboricultural or highways report may be necessary.
Where planning applications have been refused, surveyors can provide an assessment of the merits and weaknesses of the original application and suggest alterations and design changes to permit the submission of an amended application.
Alternatively, where the scheme is appropriate, they can prepare and present a planning appeal. It might also be possible to prepare and apply for conservation area and listed building consents, as well as undertaking assessments and producing reports on the historic fabric and building characteristics to support or object to particular planning and listed building applications.
Of course, what can be offered will differ from practice to practice so, particularly in this event, we strongly suggest that you use the Property Surveying network to find your nearest Independent Chartered Surveyor and discuss the details with him or her. | 2019-04-22T08:00:43Z | https://www.propertysurveying.co.uk/Services/planning-advice.html |
