The R package PApages is a great start towards addressing the very common problem of internal and external reporting in the money management industry. Advent’s APX, Axys, and Black Diamond and the up and coming extremely well-connected and well-funded Addepar provide basic and acceptable reporting but generally don’t provide the full set of risk and return metrics that I would expect. Since the very successful GSOC projects with PerformanceAnalytics …Now With More Bacon (2008)! and New Attribution Functions for PortfolioAnalytics, we have a comprehensive and robust set of risk, return, and attribution measures in R. Combined with the near limitless graphical abilities of R with xtsExtra, ggplot, lattice, and base graphics, R seems to offer one of the best platforms for reporting, so I’ve committed myself to continue my series http://timelyportfolio.blogspot.com/search/label/reporting exploring various reporting options in R.
This is a fairly crude sketch of something we can accomplish easily with R, Sweave, and PerformanceAnalytics. I hope to itergreat to something a little more compelling.

In the wake of the most recent fallout between Saudi Arabia and Iran, Syria Deeply gathered together a group of experts to discuss the potential consequences for Syria, both on the ground and at the negotiating table. The big question: Could this mean the end of the Syrian peace talks known as the Vienna Process?
Riyadh severed diplomatic ties with Tehran earlier this week, after rioters stormed the Saudi Arabian embassy in Iran’s capital and set fire to the building.
Demonstrators in Iran took to the streets early on Sunday January 3 in protest over Saudi Arabia’s execution of a prominent Shiite cleric.
Nimr al-Nimr was sentenced to death after calling for the overthrow of the Saudi royal family. He also served as the spiritual leader for Shiite protesters in the Sunni kingdom.
Riyadh’s cut in ties with Tehran was quickly followed by a string of similar diplomatic moves by Muslim-majority states in the region. Bahrain and Sudan both severed all ties with Iran, and the UAE reduced the number of Iranian diplomats allowed in the country.
Officials at the Pentagon, the E.U. and the U.N. have all said the split between the region’s two foremost powers – both are key backers on separate sides of Syria’s civil war – does not bode well for the recently redoubled diplomatic efforts aimed at finding a political transition in Syria.
Generally speaking, the Saudi–Iranian conflict is an important driver of the war in Syria, so anything that aggravates it is bad news for Syrians.
In the specific case of the Geneva III negotiations that are to start on January 25, it’s hard to tell how important this could be. The reason is that it’s not obvious who is hurting whom more in Syria. I’m not sure they know either. Both nations are involved in Syria partly to weaken the other’s influence and both are paying significant sums to support their own allies. They can escalate even more, of course, to stick it to the other side. But they’re already putting significant effort into this and they both have other problems to manage as well, and if they had some big card left to play, I think they would have played it already.
Neither is fully comfortable with the Geneva III talks as currently envisioned, but they probably also know that the other side has reservations. So while both could certainly do a lot to undermine the peace process, it’s not clear what that would achieve, except to piss off the Americans and others who are more deeply invested in these talks.
On the other hand, this assumes that both sides approach the Syrian conflict rationally and in a calculated fashion. It’s not at all unlikely that they’ll just start to be obnoxious and obstructive on principle, refusing to sit down with the other side or trying to pull their own allies out of the talks. As I said, it’s not clear what that would achieve except to ruin a rare opportunity to infuse a ruinous war with some politics and diplomacy. But there’s definitely a lot of wounded pride and self-righteous anger on both sides, so maybe some grandstanding on Syria would play well for a domestic audience or for a regional sectarian audience. That would be a shame.
In the best-case scenario, Iran and Saudi show up to the Geneva talks, set aside their differences and focus on ways to stop the bloodshed in Syria. In the worst-case scenario, Saudi Arabia and Iran show up, or don’t, and ultimately derail the process by focusing on their own conflict instead of finding ways to stop the bloodshed in Syria.
A likely case is that talks are postponed … as has happened with all prior attempts at negotiating peace in Syria. In any case, we must not forget that regardless of the Saudi–Iranian relationship, Syrian civilians are being targeted every day by the Assad regime, Russian aircraft and Iranian-backed Hezbollah soldiers.
The threat to the Geneva talks, and any peace process for Syria, is the Assad regime. It is not the Saudi–Iranian split or their proxy war in Syria – not to mention the proxy war between Russia and the West. It is the Assad regime that has left more than 300,000 dead, a quarter-million detained, and more than half the population displaced, either internally or in foreign refugee camps. While the Saudi-Iranian hostilities may have negative consequences for Syria, the real impediment to peace is the Assad regime, which has repeatedly shown that it is not serious about stopping the flow of blood. Rather, the regime, emboldened by America’s paralysis and kept alive by Russia’s military and Hezbollah’s soldiers, engages in “peace talks” and strategies to delay any final reckoning for its war against the Syrian people.
In Madaya, a suburb of Damascus, some 40,000 people are starving to death, in a now-familiar regime tactic: Lay siege to an entire community just ahead of peace talks so that “negotiations” can be overshadowed by the urgency of mass starvation. The regime engaged in similar tactics ahead of the Geneva II talks of 2014. That was when it employed the same starvation siege tactic on Homs before magnanimously allowing U.N. convoys to deliver food, then giving orders to fire on the U.N. trucks containing life-saving supplies.
If we go along with the farce that the negotiating table represents the road to peace, the international community needs to hold Assad and his cronies responsible for continuing to wage war on defenseless, starving civilians. We need to accept the irony that Russia and the West claim there is only a political solution, yet rain bombs daily on Syria under the pretext of fighting Daesh. If the road to peace is via the negotiating table, we need to ask at what point Assad, a war criminal already knee-deep in the blood of civilians, would be willing to negotiate himself out of a job, despite Russian and Iranian claims that there can be no preconditions to negotiations.
Regardless of the outcome of Riyadh/Tehran posturing, the Geneva talks need to be about Syria. The international community, having excluded Syrians from the recent Vienna talks, needs to listen to what Syrians are saying: “Stop the carnage.” If those who have the power to stop the bloodshed continue to do nothing but posture, then they are guilty of far worse than ignoring the desperate pleas of the Syrian people: They are complicit in genocide.
I think the political process is returning to the military reality, which is that any Saudi–Iranian rapprochement at the negotiating table is as dead as it is on the ground, for the time being.
We asked some of our sources inside Syria if they’ve seen any signs of the Iranians beefing up or the Saudis sending mass amounts of weapons to their proxies, but that has yet to happen. We might see it, but not yet. This is something I’d expect to see over Yemen.
As for the negotiations, which are set to start in two weeks’ time, [the consequences] remain to be seen. I can’t imagine any conciliatory gesture by either Saudi or Iran to establish a cease-fire agreement to cool down the war. I’m very pessimistic about the political process. It’s been a great chance for Russia, with some very clever political zigzagging, to get their idea of a transitional period with Assad remaining forever embraced by the international community. They’ve been very creative.
Normally, such negotiations are meant to bridge distrust and conflict and reach a consensus. But by appointing Jordan in charge of determining which rebel group constitutes a terrorist group, these negotiations were already a dead end. Jordan would never be able to dictate any terms, and no one would be able to agree. Saudi Arabia would probably claim Bashar al-Assad’s regime is a terrorist organization. They’d say Ahrar al-Sham is fine and Jaish al-Islam is fine. The Russians would probably go as far as to declare Nour al-Din al-Zenki a terrorist group. I never imagined these negotiations would arrive to any sort of sustainable solution, otherwise the Russians would have probably vetoed it.
Saudi Arabia’s efforts to invite opposition groups to the table were a waste of a golden opportunity. Half of Ahrar al-Sham signed, and half walked out. Some bitterly complained that there were 70-something people from the civilian opposition, one more irrelevant than the other, and a rather small representation of the armed groups, who will at the end of the day decide who is legitimate to speak for and to rule people in Aleppo, Idlib, etc. Like I said, I’m very pessimistic about the current political process.
Nobody expected this execution. Everyone I spoke to thought the Saudis would keep Nimr al-Nimr as an asset. He could have been a bargaining chip. Not even ISIS would kill such an extremely important hostage. It completely contradicts their foreign policy plans.
Like in many other countries, domestic priorities often come before dealing with the rest of the world. I can’t imagine that Adel al-Jubeir [Saudi’s foreign minister] and others thought [the execution] was a wise decision, particularly when they’ve just managed to get a better seat at the Vienna table.
They say it’s Syria politics, but nobody cares about Syria. Nobody cares about what we could achieve there. For Riyadh, it was obviously more relevant to kill this Shiite cleric at the most stupid moment than to achieve anything. It seems that domestic politics, once again, trump foreign politics.
If they were trying to seek revenge for the death of Zahran Alloush, they could have done something in Syria. They could have sent more money or weapons to Jaish al-Islam to give them advantages in certain areas, instead of escalating the Shiite–Sunni gap.
The Saudi–Iran confrontation is Riyadh’s way of tearing apart the Syria negotiations. Geneva was not turning out how the Kingdom wanted one iota. The mid-December Riyadh Conference didn’t produce the necessary results and Russia made sure the Riyadh Conference findings were squashed by killing terrorist extremist Zahran Alloush. Now, the international community and regional powers have to approach the Syrian talks in a new way, which may take time and shove the timetable down the calendar.
The sectarian dimension is likely to up the ground war, and, to be sure, both Riyadh and Tehran will deliver more equipment to the belligerents. The real bad news is that the Syrian war will likely expand in a new form back in Iraq. Saudi is making very clear their design for Anbar and those who pledge their unity to the Saudi-led Sunni military alliance will back Riyadh against Iran in various, still to be determined, ways.
Instead of negotiations, the Saudis want to use force to guarantee Sunni conclaves in the Levant, to counter the Shiites and their proxies. Riyadh doesn’t want Syria to turn out like Iraq: The Kingdom is seeking to reverse this process.
The sudden political and diplomatic rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia will definitely affect the conflict dynamic in Syria, and will hamper international efforts to bring the main warring parts to the same negotiations table.
It seems that the mediation officially brokered by the U.N. special envoy Staffan de Mistura will not have any chance of success in the short and mid term. The gap between the opposition groups gathered in Riyadh and the Syrian government continues to be unbridgeable as the U.N. Resolution 2254 approved last December does not offer any concrete solution to the most sensitive issue: the fate of the Syrian central power embodied in the Assad clan and its allies. With Tehran and Riyadh at odds, the rival parties won’t now engage in any effort toward compromise.
On the ground, there could be further military escalation along the front line between the pro-Saudi and pro-Turkish armed opposition groups (AOGs) and Government of Syria (GoS) forces heavily supported by Russia and Iran. But any significant military victory could not be achieved by either party neither in the Southern nor Northern fronts. However, the truce agreements lately reached in the Homs, Daraa, Idlib and Damascus regions between radical AOGs and GoS/Iran could be negatively affected by the increasing regional tension.
Furthermore, the recent ground achievements of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) across the Euphrates between Raqqa and Aleppo regions could have a significant impact on the war dynamics in northern Syria. In particular, this could push both Ankara and Riyadh to increase their support in favor of radical militants as they would need to counterbalance the increasing influence of SDF, whose military success is partially due to the Russian air cover and U.S. logistical aid.
I don’t view this recent split between Iran and Saudi Arabia as a game changer. In fact, I strongly disagree with the notion that somehow the severing of diplomatic relations fundamentally translates into a qualitative shift with respect to the dynamics of the Syrian conflict or the prospects for peace. Iran and Saudi Arabia have already maxed out their positions over the past five years. In other words, they have already invested a maximum of their resources to their full capacity to advance their interests in Syria. I don’t see recent events changing this reality in any substantive way.
The only possible consequence recent events could have is that if we ever get to a point in the peace process (and this is a big if) where concessions have to be made and the regional powers are forced to put pressure on their respective proxies in Syria as a way of advancing the peace process, then I think this recent diplomatic fallout could have negative repercussions. There will be more reluctance, for example, on the part of Iran to pressure Assad to compromise and to agree to a possible exit of Assad as part of an overall peace plan. The same applies on the Saudi side.
In broad terms, the recent fallout only serves to entrench existing positions. These positions have long solidified over the course of the past five years. The recent deterioration of relations and antagonism between Saudi Arabia and Iran do not, in my reading, fundamentally change this dynamic.
The fallout at this stage does not completely undermine the Vienna Peace Process. Both Saudi and Iran, over a series of several meetings, basically agreed to a broad framework that was enshrined in a U.N. Security Council Resolution 2254 on December 18. Now the ball is out of the court of the Iranians and Saudis and is in the court of the Syrian actors and Staffan de Mistura. That’s the next stage of the Vienna process – to try and bring Syrians from both the Assad regime and the opposition around the table. Thus, at this stage, Iran and Saudi Arabia really don’t have much to contribute. Perhaps, as a result of recent events, they might decide to take a more hardline stance when it comes to determining which Syrian rebel groups are terrorists and can have a seat at the table and which cannot.
I’m very skeptical about the Vienna Process. I think it was essentially dead on arrival because it assumes that after five years of a neo-genocidal war, and having already gone down this road before in Switzerland in January 2014 with Lakhdar Brahimi, that somehow something substantial has changed. Why should anyone assume that just because the regional and international powers have agreed to a broad framework, all of the Syrian participants in this conflict are going to meet in Geneva at the end of January, kiss and make up, and agree to some unity government and peace plan? There is little room for optimism on this point. I just can’t see why anyone would think that this would happen. If you listen to the positions of the two sides, they’re saying the exact opposite of what John Kerry is hoping for. This is really the fundamental flaw in the Vienna Peace Process – its Syrian component – which really isn’t affected by the recent conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Of course, Iran and Saudi Arabia are critical regional actors who have fueled the conflict by backing different sides, but the flaw in the Vienna process is its complete disconnect from the reality on the Syrian ground.

A young, beautiful woman with an already shapely body wanted enhanced buttocks with buttock implants. This was performed using the XYZ technique, founded by Dr. Raul Gonzalez in Brazil. Dr. Fernau trained with Dr. Gonzalez and frequently performs the intramuscular XYZ buttock augmentation. The implants used were 350 cc Implantech implants that were placed within the gluteus maximus muscle. She did extremely well postoperatively and presented approximately one year later desiring additional buttock enhancement. Using SAFELipo, she underwent liposuction and liposculpting of the abdomen and hip rolls. Additionally, fat was transferred into the subcutaneous buttock tissue for further enhancement. 550 cc was grafted into each buttock. She was very happy with the results and gave Dr. Fernau a 10/10 satisfaction rating. | 2019-04-26T14:03:53Z | https://drjamesfernau.com/before-after-photos/body/butt-augmentation/pittsburgh-pa/5179/ |

For telemetry and UHF applications, it is desirable to obtain as omnidirectional a radiation pattern as possible, with no nulls in the pattern aft of the missile. This objective is met with the series AO555-(*) antenna. The antennas are small, lightweight, and can meet extremely high temperature requirements. Their streamlined shape yields very low drag. The antennas may be used in arrays; usually two, mounted diametrically opposite with one always fed 180° out of phase with respect to the other when the ratio of wavelength to missile diameter is greater than one. | 2019-04-18T21:13:05Z | https://www.ubcorp.com/product/low-profile-antennas-ao555-series/ |
My dearly beloved daughter, we have come a long way in such a short time. That was for a reason. For it was all the time needed to impart My Most Holy Word in a world starving of My Love. Still they do not listen, because they do not want to know. While many of My loyal followers are alert now, to the changes coming, so many have no interest whatsoever in the warnings given to the world by My beloved Mother up to now. The prophecies given at Garabandal will now become a reality. Prepare now for this event, for you have only a few months left to prepare your souls.
Please do not fear, My daughter, for I know that these events have made you sad because you are thinking of your children’s future. The Warning will change everything. But it will present a fork in the road. Mankind, when having been woken up to the Truth of the Existence of God, will then, through his own free will, chose one of two paths, the path of salvation, or the path of damnation.
Chastisement will wipe out much of the world Pray hard that man chooses the first. For if he doesn’t, the world will suffer the most severe chastisement with much of it wiped out. Why would My children wish this? Yet, because of sin, man will sadly choose to ignore My promise and follow the path of the deceiver. I have told you, I will not give you a date for The Warning, for this is known by only a few chosen souls. For if this date were to be made public, people would be tempted to seek redemption out of a sense of false humility. Trust in Me. All will be well, children. You are blessed to be given this wonderful Gift of Revelation. The world will now seem to become quieter and somewhat strange in the coming months leading up to The Warning. For when it happens, spectacular though it will be visually in the sky, so quiet will this mystical experience be, that you will be more prepared for this silent encounter with your own conscience.
Remember, the more people that are forewarned of this event, the more souls will be saved. Pray, pray My Divine Mercy for those souls who will die during The Warning. They need your prayers. | 2019-04-26T04:31:08Z | http://www.botmission.org/index.php?pages/prophecy-at-garabandal-will-now-become-a-reality/ |
This edited collection focuses on how the ancient past of the city of Naples has been invented, shaped, transmitted, and received in literature, art, and material culture since the time of the city's foundation. Adopting a chronological approach, chapters examine important moments in Naples' reception history from the Roman period (when the city was already several centuries old) to the present day.
Among the topics covered are representations of the city's early history and mythology in texts and temples of the Roman period; later uses of Roman spolia (marble sculptures and architectural elements) in Christian churches; the importance of antiquity to the rulers of the Angevin and Swabian periods; the appropriation of the city's classical heritage by Renaissance humanists; the image of the 'local' poets Virgil and Statius in later eras; humanist images of the ancient aqueducts and catacombs that ran beneath the city; representations of classical monuments in early modern city guides; images of ancient ruins in contemporary Catholic nativity scenes; and the archaeology and philosophy of the city's Metro system.
The contents list can be found on the Oxford University Press website. A pre-print version of my chapter (on classical ruins in Neapolitan nativity scenes) is posted on the Articles section of this website.
And here’s a blog post I wrote for the OUP website, Six people who helped to make Naples great. | 2019-04-23T01:00:00Z | http://www.campaniasacra.org/book/remembering-parthenope |

In his new cycle of works, Mosh Kashi expands his pictorial research and explores painting techniques and outlooks in surprising and dynamic large-scale works. The exhibition comprises several series of paintings, each invites the viewer to look from a different point of reference. This time, nature serves as a catalyst for an exploration of cosmic phenomena, while the studio acts as the connecting link in the transformation that they go through before they reach the painted canvas.
The central series in the exhibition is Light Particles. This series serves as an index of Mosh Kashi’s earlier painting processes, which consisted mainly of isolating objects from nature around him and placing them at the center of the canvas, keeping to a minimal color palette, and creating a world that has no place or time. Whereas in this series the gaze turns to look at the celestial sphere, examining the speed and frequency of celestial bodies through pictorial subjects whose visible characteristics are energy and movement, refracted light, and sudden bursts that glimpse fleetingly, following their own routine and structure.
At the same time, a series of panoramic paintings that explore mass and weight through a colorful relationship in paintings of light and darkness complements the sharpness of the Light Particles series. The painting's appearance is dictated by the misty image, the slow, almost imperceptible heavy movement of the mass of light and darkness.
The third series of works focuses on dense construction of a colorful range as an expression of painting abstraction. The presence of color in this series manifests itself with flashes of color waves, capturing layers of bright light and total darkness, as if they were the essence of the blue sky spectrum.
Each series in the new cycle of paintings is executed in a different method that indicates the totality of phenomena in the universe. At the same time, it also illuminates the possibility that the pictorial tactic in this instance distills natural phenomena and gives them an independent entity, one that is separate from the cosmic space, an action that conjures up the studio as a parallel universe governed by its own orders. Reality outside the studio and the illusion of painting in the studio underscore the differences between them but at the same time also allow the cosmic moment to take shape through painting as an imaginary existence of a visual formulation.

The Genesis is the depower version of the Adam which you already have. Apart from the colour change I don't think the 2019 version is very different from the previous model so you'll know basically how it flies. Unless you're looking specifically for a medium/low AR depower in a smaller size why not have a look at the Blaze III instead? Open cell so I wouldn't use in on water but then I don't think I'd be using a Genesis on water either, even if Pansh says you can. The Blaze has been out long enough for the wrinkles to be ironed out and does a good job of impersonating the Summit but at a fraction of the cost. The Genesis 8m is the same price as the Blaze III 8m at US$139 but with an AR of 4.9 vs 3.7 for the Genesis, it'll be a lot more exciting for somebody who knows how to fly. The Blaze also has the upgraded 5th line safety system borrowed from the latest Ozone foils which is really good (Genesis has traditional) and they're also doing the same 50% deal for footage/reviews on the Blaze. Food for thought . . . .
For those that can make it, conditions are looking fair for the weekend with Saturday being the pick as wind will be more onshore. The wind swings more to the North on Sunday so Culburra or Hammerhead could be better than 7-Mile on the day. | 2019-04-22T16:04:23Z | https://www.extremekites.com.au/profile/3502-mfwetu/ |

Snapchat is adding another publisher to its Discover feature with Vox.com set to come aboard Nov. 23. It’s not the first news publisher to get a channel on the messaging app, but like BuzzFeed and Mashable, it’s arguably more millennial-focused than CNN, which was among the first on Discover, and The Wall Street Journal, which is expected to be added soon.
With Discover, Vox (part of Vox Media) hopes to extend its reach with the audience that advertisers are salivating over; Snapchat claims to reach more than 100 million users, most of them young people. The publisher is known for its explainer articles in the form of “card stacks,” and its challenge will be to adapt the text-heavy articles to Snapchat, with its playful, quick-read sensibility, without dumbing them down.
The solution Vox.com came up with was to distill the card stacks into definitions of terms, charts, maps and short videos of first-person experiences around a topic.
For a Snapchat feature about homelessness in San Francisco that it produced, Vox.com made 10-second videos with people struggling with joblessness and still image with voiceovers and text. For another, about gun violence, it created infographics designed for a 10-second loop. Other topics it will cover early on include gender identity and being transgender; living with HIV/AIDS; and Man buns: explained. Starbucks Doubleshot is the channel’s launch advertiser. It will have a logo running at the top of the main story and three videos interspersed in the content. Starbucks, not Vox, created the ads.
Discover is more resource-heavy than other new platforms such as Facebook Instant Articles or Apple News because it requires publishers to make content just for its format and upload it to Snapchat’s CMS. Like other publishers already on Discover, Vox has dedicated people just for Snapchat (in its case, three, with the plan of adding up to two more).
The addition of Vox would bring to 17 the number of publishers on Snapchat, if no others are removed. More publishers means more content to sell to advertisers, but with each additional publisher, there’s a risk of each publisher’s impact being diluted. | 2019-04-24T10:58:37Z | https://digiday.com/media/vox-com-snapchats-newest-discover-publisher/?is=1 |

Lock in a great price for Apricot Hotel – rated 9 by recent guests!
The hotel was confortable, especially the room with a balcony. The breakfast was great, even if the location was noisy. The roof bar could be more attractive.
Great location, though the hotel is pricey. Note that there are 2 styles of "Sketch deluxe rooms with internal view" for the same price. One faces an interior hallway but the room is very spacious. The other actually faces onto an exterior wall and is much smaller. If you get the smaller one, be sure to request a room change to the other kind. It is WAY nicer.
A absolutely fine operation, very defined and comfortable hotel. Fine food and service, better than expected. We were very pleased.

Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres was interviewed by the German weekly magazine where he was quoted as saying the Schadeh removal was a “100% mistake” and that he was doubtful Prime Minister Sharon was capable of making peace. As usual back in Israel all sorts of questions were asked. Peres claims he was misquoted and misunderstood.
Peres made no claims against killing Schadeh, but says it was a serious mistake to use the one ton bomb employed because of civilian casualties. Sounds like a contradiction when discussing 100% anything. As for Sharon, he told Voice of Israel Radio that Sharon’s capacity to make peace with Palestinian Authority Chairman Arafat is in doubt. A long list can be added to Sharon including former prime minister Ehud Barak and possibly Peres himself. Even left wing Meretz opposition leader Yossi Sarid publicly announced his inability to trust Arafat.
So why make the statements and then have to explain yourself to the Israeli public? Because Peres is Israel’s foreign minister, it is his job to stay on good terms with everyone, especially the European Union, with whom Israel has numerous economic, political and even military connections. Western Europe has a large Moslem minority with many uncritically worshipping ‘balance’ and ‘humanism’.
Peres needs to play to that audience and he does his job not badly. Missions to America and even England Sharon handles on his own. But the prime minister is unwelcome in many European capitals. Peres is among the few in the Israeli government who can step foot in such places without major protests and demonstrations. So he continues to keep the door open to Europe through ambiguities, partial contradictions and less than full answers when interviewed by the Europeans. Peres really is Israel’s Special Envoy to Europe.
As for Sharon, even before any clarifications were given, the PM’s office announced that Peres had not crossed any red lines nor would anyone like to see him leave his office. Only Arafat would gain from a Peres resignation, it was stated.
Although not someone who is particularly enthralled with the French lately, one would suspect Sharon has heard of Talleyrand. | 2019-04-26T11:48:37Z | http://me-ontarget.org/pws/page!13685 |

We introduce a certain nef generating set for the Chow ring of the wonderful compactification of a hyperplane arrangement complement. This presentation yields a monomial basis of the Chow ring that admits a geometric and combinatorial interpretation with several applications. Geometrically, one can recover Poincare duality, compute the volume polynomial and verify its log-concavity, and identify a portion of a polyhedral boundary of the nef cone. Combinatorially, one can generalize Postnikov's result on volumes of generalized permutohedra, prove Mason's conjecture on the log-concavity of independent sets for certain matroids, and define a new valuative invariant of a matroid that measures its closeness to uniform matroids. This is an on-going joint work with Connor Simpson and Spencer Backman. | 2019-04-25T20:00:45Z | http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/?event_ID=124186&date=2019-02-26&tab=all_events |

In the era of women’s marches and #metoo movements, the role of women in society is being challenged from many quarters. To better understand the controversy, it is worth recalling that the fundamental question is one that human beings have had to wrestle with in every age and in every regime.
With this in mind, the editors of Political Animal Magazine spoke to Mary Townsend, the author of The Woman Question in Plato’s Republic. Her book examines how Plato dealt with the role of women in his Republic. We asked Townsend to tell us a little about the “Woman Question” and Plato’s thoughts on the matter. The following is what she had to say.
Political Animal: The title of your book refers to “The Woman Question” – what is “The Woman Question”, and how does Plato deal with it in the Republic?
Mary Townsend: The “Woman Question” is the open, living, and perennially fraught question of what women’s nature, role, and political position in the human community is or ought to be. Plato’s Socrates’ answer is without parallel: he pulls apart the polis in search of the women who will be educated in philosophy and rule as philosopher-queens. The solution is notoriously unsatisfying, and most readers across time and space have found reasons to quarrel with it, whether by attempting to explain that Plato did not mean women to study philosophy after all, or by considering that the caveat of women’s relative weakness undermines the whole of the text’s treatment of women.
PA: So you find that Plato’s actual position is contrary to the two views that you describe?
MT: Yes, Plato’s awareness of this inevitable resistance from both directions and his attempt to ameliorate each reaction is built into the rhetorical fabric of the Republic. The linchpin is the way Socrates successfully persuades the youthful Glaucon that women should be educated and have a share in rule (540c) under philosophy’s guardianship. Glaucon is initially willing enough to grant education to women, but Socrates goes out of his way to point out an internal contradiction in Glaucon’s opinions: Glaucon also believes women might as well be wholly other than men, which would disqualify them from similar education. The argument grinds to a halt in aporia (the first really dramatic aporia since the beginning of the book), and Socrates asks Glaucon for an apology, noting that only a wondrous rescue will save the argument. The rescue is effected by the re-introduction of Glaucon’s very first response to Socrates’ initial plans for complete, non-hierarchical partnership, that everything can be shared but women will be taken as weaker. After this is adopted, Glaucon is happy to concede the partnership, and Socrates’ initial plan to educate the women remains on the books; the action of Socrates’ argument remains the same.
Our attempts to speak to the woman question are inevitably shaped by our relation to our own regime, and our hopes and fears for women living in it. By dramatizing the difficulties surrounding the attempt to give women a public role, and by observing Socrates’ own willingness to sacrifice much of ordinary human life in the service of the regime change to where male and female philosophers rule, Plato offers a keen psychological and political glimpse into the battle between the sexes, and allows the reader to witness what it would take to allow the woman question to become a living one for themselves.
PA: What else does your book deal with, in relation to all of this?
MT: One thing I look at is the notorious question of naked exercise and its proposed Socratic solution of “robes of virtue,” that speaks to the way men and women behold each other in public, and how this interacts with the hope we’d let reason govern our actions. I also trace the constant theme in the Republic of hunting as an image of philosophy, connecting it to the dialogues Sophist and Symposium and to the goddess that opens the Republic, the Thracian hunting goddess, Bendis.
The book also discusses Aristotle’s famous critique of Socrates’ provisions for women, arguing that the beginning of an investigation into whatever share in the natural women have has to begin with their status as political animals, and the contradictions that the division of labor draws out in all human beings.
And, finally, I argue for Plato’s expectation of female readers of the Republic. I look at what hopes Plato may have had for the effect of Socratic rhetoric on women themselves, and for the Republic’s rhetorical place in the world as a book that argues for women’s education and rule. Reflecting on that, I also examine the pre-20th century reception history of the book among women in many different regimes.
PA: How would you say that Plato’s treatment of this question helps us deal with the same question in the present day?
MT: I think it’s particularly helpful right now, because it reimagines our current debates, manifested in everything from opinion pages to social media to public marches, in an entirely different political context, while laying our underlying interest in these questions—a perfectly just society—on the line.
I guess I’d say that it’s not enough to give women a public role in an otherwise unchanged regime; you have to rewrite many other political things too, including work, eros, family, how the sexes conceive of each other, etc., and that’s part of the reason for the turbulence we’re seeing these days. It’s what that kind of radical difference would mean that Plato is so helpful with.
Platonic dialogue exists to force us to be articulate in our response to often quite amusingly hyperbolic arguments, allowing us to uncover our prejudices as we revolt against the text, while setting a kind of dialectical bar for just how complex any thoroughly philosophic answer would have to be.

Indorama Ventures Company Ltd (IVL), the world leader in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), on November 28 announced force majeure circumstances on deliveries of products from the PET plant in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) due to a halt in production with technical problems, ICIS reported.
So, on Thursday, November 15, one of the lines at this plant was closed with a total capacity of two lines of 426 thousand tons of PET per year due to leakage of hot oil, there were no casualties.
Lightweight but exceptionally strong carbon fiber reinforced plastics no longer have to be incinerated or sent to landfill once their useful life has come to an end. Pioneers of carbon fiber recycling believe that the time is coming for recycled carbon fiber reinforced plastics to take off.
Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) bring mechanical robustness with reduced weight to aerospace and automotive components, wind turbine blades, and sporting goods like bikes and tennis rackets. Wind turbine manufacturer Vestas is using CFRPs for wind turbine blades, where reduced weight allows for larger blades ideal for offshore sites and that are more efficient in lighter wind conditions. BMW’s i3 electric car is also employing CFRP components in the passenger compartment and McLaren has plans for a carbon fiber sports car. In the aerospace sector, Boeing’s Dreamliner aircraft relies on CFRP components to reduce weight. Lighter components means greater efficiency and lower fuel consumption during the lifetime of systems, which adds up to lower carbon emissions.

The figures are mind-boggling: Food loss and waste is an enormous environmental problem.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ “Global Food Losses and Food Waste” report, roughly one third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted.
Polymers are behind many important inventions of the past several decades, like 3D printing. So-called “engineering plastics,” used in applications ranging from automotive to construction to furniture, have superior properties and can even help solve environmental problems.
Just a few hours after WTI Crude dipped below $50, oil prices wiped out losses and started climbing on Thursday after reports that Russia has conceded that it needs to reduce oil production and join a new Saudi-led OPEC cut to balance the market.
Earlier in the day WTI Crude had breached the $50 support level for the first time in more than a year, following yet another U.S. crude inventory build that the EIA reported on Wednesday.
SABIC is planning to build a demonstration plant in Europe to transform waste plastic into feedstock for its crackers as part of the company’s strategy to further advance its circular economy model for the business, a senior company executive said on Wednesday.

-Is the fashion industry about to have its ‘plastics moment’?
With MPs urging clothing brands to disclose impacts, consumers increasingly protesting “fast fashion” and documentaries on the true cost of cheap garments emerging at a pace, edie explores whether the fashion industry is set to have its “plastics moment”.
More than a year after Blue Planet 2 kick-started a wave of plastics actions from consumers, policymakers and corporates, the war on plastic is undeniably still high on the sustainability agenda.
But in parallel to this rise in plastics action, sustainable fashion has made its own journey from being a topic discussed only by niche bloggers to one which drew the biggest audience in UK history to a select committee hearing just a few weeks ago.
CARBIOS announces today the signature of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with KEM ONE for an implementation project, in the French Chemical Valley, of an industrial demonstration plant to secure the value of its breakthrough technology.
Oil prices are dropping rapidly, causing oil and gas companies to take a step back.
Over the last month, the price per barrel has dropped 20 dollars.
“Very quick downward trend in oil and gas over the last few weeks. Herd was saying the other day when oil goes up it takes the staircase but when it does down it takes an express elevator and that’s exactly what we’ve seen.”Kirk Edwards, President Of Latigo Petroleum.
Arburg GmbH + Co. K.G. rolled out its Freeformer 300-3X at Formnext 2018 in Frankfurt. The machine does additive manufacturing of three-component parts in hard/soft combinations.
Formnext, a major trade fair for additive manufacturing, was held Nov. 24-27.
Arburg said it is the first time that additive manufacturing can make complex, functional hard/soft parts using support structures. The Lossburg, Germany-based company also rolled out a new rental model at Formnext.
UK packaging supplier Raepak has created a series of product innovations, which is set to reduce plastic waste on a global scale. Three new products have been launched including the new dosing cap, 100% recyclable dispensing pumps and the 100% biopolymer plastic containers.
The introduction of the new dosing cap helps to reduce the packaging size and liquid contents. This is because a concentration of liquid can be used rather than larger product volumes mixed with water. The idea behind the dosing cap is a complete reduction in energy used to make the overall product. This helps to lower the carbon footprint and reduce material resources.
Loop Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOOP) (“Loop” or “Company”), a leading technology innovator in sustainable plastic today announced that they have entered into a multi-year supply framework with the Coca-Cola system’s Cross Enterprise Procurement Group (“CEPG”) to supply 100% recycled and sustainable Loop™ PET plastic (“Loop™ PET”) from Loop’s joint venture facility with Indorama Ventures Limited in the United States to authorized Coca-Cola bottlers who enter into supply agreements with Loop. Indorama Ventures is a world-class chemicals company and a global integrated leader in PET and fibers serving major customers in diversified end-use markets.

And although this is admirable and has its merits, social psychology has demonstrated that being a good person is not nearly enough to make real progress toward justice. “So why is it that being a good person in insufficient?” you might ask. The answer is simple: We all carry implicit biases. When considering how to address the racial disparities that plague the juvenile justice system, wrestling with our own implicit biases has to be part of the equation.
Implicit racial bias is not racism, or the belief that one or more races are superior in comparison to another. Implicit biases are in essence automatic associations in the brain. The brain has the ability to make connections between different concepts, allowing us to sort through the myriad of information we absorb on a daily basis.
This is why we intuitively know that fire equals danger, and why we associate peanut butter with jelly. Unfortunately, one kind of automatic association that our brains tend to learn, and then rely on, is racial stereotypes. In our daily lives we are constantly bombarded by subtle and not-so-subtle stereotypes. Without realizing that it’s happening, our brains absorb these racialized associations, using them to guide our social interactions.
Many Americans of all genders and racial identities associate blackness with criminality, whiteness with innocence, women with weakness and men with leadership, among many other stereotypes. These shortcuts can be activated in the brain whenever these stereotypes are “primed,” or triggered.
Research shows that stereotypes can be primed simply by seeing stereotype-consistent words (e.g., lazy, criminal), or seeing a member of a stereotyped group. We do not have to believe in these stereotypes for them to be awakened subconsciously. In fact, we can consciously object to them. However, conscious objection to stereotypes does not stop us from using them unconsciously, to interpret the people, things and situations around us.
For example, when there is a report of an active shooter, many of us will automatically conjure up images of a white male. We may not realize we are relying on an implicit bias until we have paused to think through our assumption, or received evidence to the contrary. Without self-reflection or objective-fact finding, our biases can control our perceptions.
Now imagine how implicit bias might work when we are faced with situations that involve black youth. Do we associate them with violence, culpability or recidivism, without considering the facts, their level of adolescent development or interrogating the real nature of our own conjectures? Studies have shown that implicit bias can disrupt the integrity of decisions made by teachers, principals and law enforcement officials in regards to black youth, and is a contributor to the disproportionate rate of black representation in the school-to-prison pipeline.
Defenders of justice have gravitated toward implicit bias trainings as a means to temper the influence of these negative automatic associations. And although there are limitations to the effectiveness of trainings, they are indeed important. Trainings bring about awareness and provide the tools to understand what implicit bias is, the risk factors that trigger its effects and offer recommended practices to limit its influence in our decision-making.
This can have a real impact on the decision-making processes used to decide if a juvenile should be arrested or expelled from school. But beyond trainings, there is much more that can be done to prevent us from relying on implicit bias. Specifically, we must turn our attention to the actual policies that guide the behavior of those who work or interact with youth.
Social psychology has documented a number of factors that put individuals at risk of relying on implicit biases to make decisions. Unbeknownst to us, these risks are often contained within the policies we lean on to make determinations about youth every day. One major risk factor is having broad discretion to make choices. Another is ambiguity, or when a rule or situation is open to multiple interpretations.
Studies reveal that when guidelines for appropriate behavior or social expectations are unclear, people are more likely to make decisions with racially biased outcomes. Policies can initiate circumstances where these risk factors affect those tasked with carrying out the mission and goals of an institution. For example, a policy can give discretion to identify and punish juvenile misconduct, but the factors that count as misconduct might be left ambiguous.
Language such as “major disruption,” or “real and present danger,” left without concrete guidelines for interpretation, can lead to the practice of discretion in unfair and inconsistent ways. The more discretion and ambiguity overlap within a policy, the more one is at risk of having implicit bias confound one’s decisions in the practice of the policy. The less discretion and ambiguity are present in a policy, the less risk that one will rely on implicit bias. Thus, policies can raise or lower the risks that make one vulnerable to implicit bias.
How then might we take this information and strengthen the policies we use daily? This is challenging since the risk factors of discretion and ambiguity are often common features of policies. The goal then is to constrain or remove them when feasible, and when doing so will promote equity.
Social psychology research also demonstrates that accountability measures can inhibit risk factors by placing limits on how far actors can utilize discretion or interpret ambiguous content in policies. Accountability is the obligation to accept responsibility for one’s actions (or the actions of others). A system of accountability that prevents biased decisions before they occur, and requires decision-makers to thoughtfully explain their decisions, has some ability to limit the influence of implicit bias. If we constrict risk factors within policies and strengthen accountability measures, it is possible to create a decrease in the racial disparities affecting youth in the juvenile justice system.
We are all susceptible to implicit biases; however, we do not have to act on them. The first step is the acknowledgment that our intentions to be fair and good people are not enough. Implicit bias is not about character. If we are willing to learn about it and practice the tools to protect ourselves from its influence, we are off to a great start.
Implicit bias trainings can provide the support to do this. Organizations can find sound implicit bias trainings from reputable institutes such as the Center for Policing Equity. Additionally, efforts to thwart implicit bias can be taken even further and include reassessing the policies that guide our daily professional practices. This involves identifying and addressing the risk factors of discretion and ambiguity in written policies that may lead to racial disparities.
Moreover, organizations can engage in programming and initiatives that actively support employees in challenging unconscious stereotypes that include interactions with diverse communities or the distribution of learning materials. If you don’t want to harm youth, and you want to be part of the solution and not the problem, this will include an understanding of our judgments and evaluations in radically different ways. Facing and fighting implicit bias is an honorable step in the right direction: to win the battle for racial social justice.
R. Nicole Johnson-Ahorlu is the director of juvenile justice and education at the Center for Policing Equity: She supports education and law enforcement partners in addressing the “school-to-prison pipeline” in their jurisdictions. This includes designing empirical studies to inform solutions for racially disparate outcomes for youth in education and the justice system. She has an M.A. in African studies and a Ph.D. in education, both from the University of California at Los Angeles. | 2019-04-19T20:39:41Z | https://jjie.org/2017/09/18/being-a-good-person-wont-undo-your-implicit-biases/ |

In the spirit of celebrating Lineworker Appreciation Day, it’s important to recognize the different steps to becoming a lineworker. And there is no better group to share the start of that journey than City Light’s pre-apprentice lineworkers.
The Seattle City Light Pre-Apprenticeship (PAL) Program designates 1,040 hours of training that are specifically designed to teach the fundamental knowledge needed to perform linework, including crew assistance, equipment preparation and direct work with line crews. Upon successful completion of the PAL Program, participants will be hired as lineworker apprentices and begin the 3 ½ year/7,000-hour apprenticeship program.
A fiercely competitive process with more than 500 applicants and multiple levels of testing/interviewing, City Light has five PALs—four men, one woman— in its current program. The group began their pre-apprentice work in February and is comprised of Washington natives from Sedro-Woolley, Seattle, Port Townsend and Puyallup with one member from Savannah, Georgia. The educational background is a mix of AA and BA degrees, trade school and service in the United States Marine Corps.
What are you most excited or passionate about with the PAL program? What motivates you?
How did you end up in this role? Was it something you always wanted to do? Or did something or someone inspire you to pursue this line of work?
What have you learned in this role from the people around you? From your peers? The crews? Your instructors?
Why is this job—this position—important to you? What are you most looking forward to in this role?
Any advice you’d like to share for those looking to follow this career path?
Learn more about City Light’s Pre-Apprenticeship Program here.
Recognized as one of the most dangerous professions in the United States, lineworkers are known for their strong physical endurance, mental toughness and undeniable spirit of camaraderie. Every day, more than 117,000 of these skilled professionals help deliver electrical power from generating stations into homes, businesses and other facilities.
Being a lineworker is a physically demanding job—partly because of the tasks at hand and partly due to the exposure of weather conditions (e.g. rain, snow, extreme heat). One job might require climbing a 100-foot pole while the next might demand installation and repair work in 40 mph wind gusts. From construction and troubleshooting to transmission/distribution and the maintenance of electrical power systems, it’s no wonder lineworkers are often referred to as the heart of a utility.
We couldn’t let National Lineworker Appreciation Day slip by without shining a spotlight on one of our crews. Enter Crew Chief Vinod Kumar and his team. Working together for two years, it’s obvious the group enjoys each other’s company just as much as they enjoy their jobs. We sat down with the group to get a glimpse of what a day on the job looks like and what they value most about their roles.
Can you walk us through a timeline of a “typical” day at work, from morning to end?
You mentioned an overhead crew—can you please explain what that means?
Tell us about your customers. Who do you serve?
Can you describe the culture of the lineworker environment? Can you share what it’s like to be part of the team and what that means?
Are there any special rules or sayings that your crew abides by?
What are the skills needed to perform this line of work?
What keeps you motivated coming to work each day? Aside from your crew, why do you enjoy this job? Why is it important? What does it mean to you?
What advice would you give someone seeking this line of work?
Thank you to all our crews for the incredible work and heart that’s poured into each job 365 days a year! | 2019-04-22T05:14:04Z | https://powerlines.seattle.gov/tag/employee/page/8/ |
Why choosing an inflatable kayak and not a hard sided kayak?
Sit-on-top or sit-inside for Inflatable Kayaks?
What to consider before buying an inflatable kayak?
Inflatable kayaks are, undoubtedly, an excellent solution for fishing; they are portable, roomy, lightweight and do not require a lot of space. Therefore, you can take them anywhere in the world when you travel and want to fish or just to explore things out.At the moment, there are a lot of inflatable kayak types available, coming in different shapes, colors, sizes, prices and, of course, characteristics. That’s why you should know more about them in order to choose the best one for you.
Depending on the manufacturer, an inflatable kayak can be made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), Hypalon (a synthetic rubber – the strongest, the most resistant and the most expensive, of course) or of Nitrylon (a lamination of nitrile synthetic rubber).
They can be inflated by foot, hand or with electric pumps.
Although we will review later what to consider when buying an inflatable kayak, you should know the most important types of kayaks are: self-bailing kayaks (best used in whitewater), sit-on-top kayaks (best for warmer temperatures or if you are claustrophobic), sit inside kayaks (a classical design of kayaks, used mostly in colder weather), tandem inflatable kayaks (multi-use boat), canoe-style, open style kayak, standup paddle board, tracking fin, fishtailing kayak etc.
As you may guess, choosing a kayak depends a lot on your needs, lifestyle and preferences.
Hard sided kayaks are usually made of wood which can make them more attractive, but, instead, they are hard to maintain in a good condition. The hard side kayaks can be also made of plastic, fiberglass or carbon fiber, but these also have some shortcomings as they can be rigid or very expensive.
On the other hand, inflatable kayaks are portable, lightweight, easy to handle so they can be the best solution for someone new in this hobby. They are appropriate for easy paddling, but also for whitewater rapids. Last, but not least, the prices are more affordable when we talk about inflatable kayaks.
Each one has pros and cons, so you have to know them in order to make the best decision, according to your needs and preferences.
If you want more room to move or you are claustrophobic, you should choose this one. It looks like a traditional inflatable kayak, but the cockpit is slightly raised. Therefore, it’s easier to get in and out.
Most people tend to opt for this type of kayak, which is, in fact, the most traditional and the most used one. It has high walls and the lower body is concealed inside it. It’s the best choice when fishing kayaking on a cold weather.
Before buying an inflatable kayak for fishing you must gather all sort of information about it.
To sum it up, you should consider two things: price and fabrics (therefore, quality) and the product requirements.Each inflatable kayak comes with some manufacturer specifications and requirements and you should read and apply them accordingly.
It’s a synthetic rubber that has the longest and best resistance in inflatable kayaks. The shortcoming would be that, as you may guess, it is also the most expensive.
The kayaks made of polyvinyl chloride are durable, portable, easy to patch and cheaper, but they are not very resistant to many factors, from abrasions and chemicals to temperatures and sunlight.
This is a lamination of nitrile synthetic rubber, an eco-friendly alternative to PVC as many say that has environmental harmful effects. The kayaks made of nitryl on are stronger than the ones made of PVC, easier to patch and more suitable for cold weather, but, on the other hand, can be very heavy.
The most important thing before buying a good inflatable kayak would be the material, as this gives the durability and also the safety of an inflatable kayak.Then, think about other things like if you want a solo or tandem kayak, what will the water and weather conditions be, if you are going kayaking on a whitewater or on a calm lake, your size, and height, but also the dimensions of the kayak, if that specific product comes with extra security features etc.
Designed especially for anglers, this multi-layer, polyethylene material made kayak has a high-back seat, two rod holders, and an inflatable lumbar support, In addition, the mounting rail is removable.It is foldable, it weighs 40 pounds, 300 pounds weight supported and its dimensions are 16.93 x 10 x 29.92 inches.
Advanced Elements Straitedge Angler Kayak is indeed a high-quality product. The customers say it is very stable, durable, comfortable, and great to paddle it in the wind too.
Besides, inflation takes just a few minutes, so this won’t be a problem, as well as the storage.
The plastic couplings, the seat that might seem too small for some people etc.
This tandem kayak has an air cell system 2-layer construction with PVC tubes and a PVC floor.
The seat and float bags are adjustable and it has two sets of drain holes, twelve sets of cargo loops and a bow/stern carry handles.
The repair kit is included in the package/price.
This is also a tandem kayak (but also can be used by one person too), with 6 D-rings to secure seats). It gas bow/stern grab handles, front and rear spray skirts with storage and lacing. The material is resistant and durable. Besides, it also has two high capacity self-bailing drain valves and some features to improve speed.
It seems this kayak tracks very well, it’s comfortable and roomy. There are customers that say it would be room for a child, for example. Besides, Sea Eagle 385 Fast Track it easy to set up and to transport.
For the moment, thigh straps can be purchased for an extra money, so it would be a great idea for them to be included in the fixed price.Also, there are customers who complain about the seat, that does not offer much support.
Buying an inflatable kayak for fishing is not just a random thing. You should be organized and you should research a lot before deciding anything. Prioritize your needs and requirements such as budget, security, features, where and when you are going to use the product etc. One thing is for sure: you can make the best decision only by knowing exactly what you are looking for. | 2019-04-25T06:31:31Z | http://www.fisherview.com/best-inflatable-kayak-fishing |

We realize you may have a few questions, like what size dumpster do I need or how much is this going to cost. Just give us a call and one of our specialists in Southampton, Pennsylvania will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
If your looking to rent a roll off container in Southampton, don’t accept slow responding companies or late deliveries. For over 15 year’s we have delivered our dumpsters on-time, when and where our customers need them. Give us a call today to experience why we’re the #1 affordable dumpster rental company nationwide.
Knowing how the dumpster rental process works prior to making a decision can help you get the most bang for your buck. Whether you’re running a contracting company and need a long term dumpster option, or you’re a do-it-yourself homeowner starting a new project, there’s going to be a dumpster that is the best choice for your needs. There are always going to be a wide range of dumpster rental companies in Southampton, but if you have a little bit of background on sizes, weight capacities and possible hidden charges, then you’ll be much better equipped to negotiate with rental businesses companies.
It’s important to factor in the various types of costs you can encounter when renting a dumpster in Southampton. The main expenses in your rental will include size, weight and the composition of your trash. Another factor that may impact your budget is any permit fees that may be applicable in Southampton. Always check with your rental company and ask certain questions before proceeding.
Deciding on what size dumpster to rent is going to be the most affordable decision you make. Although you don’t want to go too far over what size you believe you’re going to need, it’s always better to overestimate your size than underestimate, because you don’t want to have to rent another one for a small amount of garbage. The most common sized dumpsters will be between 10 and 40 cubic yards, so there is a size that fits any job you could have. An ideal sized dumpster for a medium job, such as cleaning out a garage, would be a 20 cubic yard option. It’s a good idea to talk to your dumpster rental company in Southampton and tell them the types of materials you’ll be disposing of, that way you can ensure you get the proper sized dumpster for your job.
Before putting down the money to rent a dumpster, be sure to ask the company about any weight restrictions. A dumpster may look large, but you’d be shocked how much weight and space your objects can take up. Keep an eye on the items you’re getting rid of, as the last thing you want is to have to pay extra fees for going over your weight cap. Depending on the laws in Southampton, you may also have to pay disposal or landfill fees if you are using particularly hazardous materials.
Considering the types of items you’ll be throwing in the dumpster is also an important step to take before you make a choice on which one to rent. If you’re only disposing of some large furniture or a few big items, then you could even just get a junk removal service, as that may make more sense and save money. Depending on the job you’re doing, a 10 or 20 cubic yard dumpster might suite your needs, since they are ideal for cleaning out garages or junk piles. One thing you’ll also want to do is ask your dumpster rental business about any prohibited items that they don’t allow you to dispose of. A lot of times dumpster companies in Southampton will prohibit items like large appliances, batteries, grease, cans of points or oil and antifreeze bottles.. It’s very important to ask these types of questions when speaking with your rental company.
Estimating your dumpster rental price will involve several different factors. Thankfully, most rental businesses will give you an estimate at no cost, but you should still know how it is determined. Bigger containers, regardless of how full they are, will always cost more. This is because the bigger dumpsters will require additional manpower, fuel to transport and dumping fees, which the rental company will have to incur.
Doing business with a local dumpster rental company in Southampton will probably be a wise choice. You can save a lot of time and hassle by renting from a business that is already established, and has deals with local waste disposal and dumping companies. The disposal process can be more smooth with a company that knows the local environmental laws. By giving your dumpster company as much information as possible regarding your waste materials, you can make sure you get the best deal and correct sized container. | 2019-04-21T12:19:42Z | http://www.mrdumpsterrental.com/dumpster-rental-Southampton-pa/ |

See our more recent blog post on tertiary treatment modules for a more in depth guide and comparison of popular tertiary treatment units on the market today.
Many architects and engineers are now specifying a sewage treatment plant followed by a tertiary treatment module in place of a large percolation area.
Sand filters are very effective for tertiary treatment. They are layers of certified silica sands and gravels installed to EPA designs. Limitations of sand filters are that they can be large, expensive to install and require a certain degree of skill by the installer.
There are some new tertiary treatment products on the market now that use waste organic material like peanut shells and coconut shell fragments to treat wastewater. These systems come in a tank preinstalled. The advantage versus a sand filter is that they are tank based systems so they are simple to install. A disadvantage is that they are expensive in terms of cost price and maintenance.
Biocell offers filterpods for tertiary treatment. Certified to EN12566-3 and EN12566-7. The systems are ready to go and come preinstalled in a small tank. Additionally, the filterpod can be used in place of a percolation area. The filter media is synthetic – and costs far less to replace than organic waste material. Far better value and easier to install than sand filters. | 2019-04-18T17:31:54Z | https://biocellwater.com/2016/03/20/tertiary-treatment/ |

Atlee Yoder’s purple martin houses are in storage, out of the raw Ohio weather, awaiting spring and the first scout of the new season. But herein lies the rub — Yoder’s houses did not come down until last week.
Yoder, an Amish farmer from Apple Creek in the heart of Ohio’s Amish Country is, like many of his Amish neighbors who eschew most of our modern contrivances and conveniences, quite partial to these organic bug zappers.
Last August just as Yoder’s breeding colony was departing for the balmy climes of South America, a female martin with a late fledgling showed up at his houses. Being neighborly, Yoder left his houses up and the birds stayed — and stayed. September passed, then October and finally in November the fledgling disappeared. But the adult female lingered.
According to posts from the Purple Martin Conservation Association’s Web site forum and their Facebook site and from Ohio birds listserv, the female martin stayed until Jan. 10, 2010. Reports say that Yoder fed the bird on Jan. 10 by tossing mealworms into the air for her to catch as he had been doing for the last month or so. According to those reports the bird appeared healthy at that time, but failed to reappear the next day, or the next and thus appeared to have flown the coop.
And now for the official disclaimer — a purple martin overwintering anywhere in the U.S. should be big news for birders in general and the ornithological community in particular, yet documentation of this bird is sparse and sometimes contradictory. I have no reason to doubt Su Snyder’s (a member of the Greater Mohican Audubon Society) photo, which she so graciously provided for this story but other pieces of the story are puzzling.
I have emailed a member of the Ohio Birds Record Committee, the Ohio Ornithological Society and the compiler of the Wilmot CBC but to date have received no replies. I imagine these people are being cautious and working to cross all “t”s and dot all “i”s before commenting in public. There might be questions of the birds’ origin i.e. were they captive reared?
Hopefully, this will be sorted out and I will be able to update you on this seemingly “first ever U.S. overwintering purple martin.” In the meantime if you’re interested in purple martins check out the Purple Martin Conservation Association’s website at purplemartin.org or their Facebook site.

Double album with unreleased live recordings from the German Jazz Festival 1966 featuring all the big German names of the time - Albert Mangelsdorff, Horst Jankowski, Hans Koller, Rolf Kühn, Klaus Doldinger etc! Listen to Mangelsdorff's "Plakate" or Kühn/Doldinger's "Gemini Waltz". Limited edition release (500 copies) with spectacular sound quality! "We are very excited to announce what we think is one of the most exciting jazz albums that have been issued in recent years. It includes the most beautiful unreleased live recordings from the German Jazz Festival 1966! This 2-LP set comes in a Saba-style gatefold cover. We had the impression that these recordings could easily have been part of the Saba/MPS catalogue back in 1966 – that’s why we decided to design the covers and labels in the style of original 1960s Saba sleeves. The front cover features original artwork by German jazz graphic icon Günther Kieser. | 2019-04-23T16:04:32Z | https://www.soundohm.com/product/modern-at-the-german-jazz-festival-1966/pid/33634/ |
I consumed it all in America this summer: wine, Mexican food, ice cream, hamburgers, chocolate, ribs, cakes, pizza, fries, Mexican food, beer, chocolate milkshakes, fried chicken, margaritas, Mexican food, and Mexican food.
Looking at this sign, can one help but hear the thick, gelatinous, suction-y “scccchhhhlleeepppp!” the giant spoon makes as it levers out moist lumps of broccoli beef? I pulled up along side the “China Cafe” only long enough to take this picture before motoring off to “Miguel’s Baja Grill” for tomatillo-laced Mexican food.
Who is drawn to budget Americanized Chinese food in the middle of inland, small town American West? People who like value-priced, salty-sweet fat on top of refined carbs. Sometimes that’s me, but I prefer that flavor combination in the form of salty-tangy verde enchiladas with sweet-and-sour lime margaritas. Or in the form of french fries with a chocolate milkshake.
Thrifty Chinese food lovers in America are similar to people who visit Pizza Hut in China: they enjoy eating hearty helpings of a localized version of a “foreign” food. A version that hyper-concentrates the salt-sweet-grease trio. Pizza Hut in Hong Kong features a pizza unknown in America. A pizza that substitutes the more traditional tomato sauce with creamy-sweet “thousand island sauce” and is topped with sweet corn, prawns, pineapple and cheese. Salt-sweet-grease in modified form.
Those enjoying sweet-and-sour pork by the ladle in Moab, Utah are similar to the families I once watched at a Pizza Hut in Zhuhai, China: they are thrilled by the chance to stretch their dollar (or yuan) to the limit. Along with a pizza meal, one trip to the Zhuhai Pizza Hut salad bar was permitted. Each person was given a brown, modest-sized salad bowl. A bowl that many enterprising customers artificially enlarged by employing cantilevered watermelon wedges to create a rim that at least doubled the carrying-capacity of the salad bowl.
I have placed the fake “Golden Belly” sign in front of a real photograph of a liquor store in southern Utah. In the American state of Utah, one can only purchase alcohol (with the exception of 3.2% alcohol beer) in official State Liquor Stores (closed Sundays).
The fake “Pizza Palace” sign is hanging off of a random storefront in the Gong Bei neighborhood of Zhuhai, China.
Please feel free to improve my Chinese.
HAHAHA, you’ve designed the Chinese restaurant of my nightmares perfectly, complete with KARAOKE TUESDAY and red lanterns.
Franchise opportunities with “The Golden Belly” are currently available. We’re particularly interested in franchisees able to exaggerate tasteless Chinese stereotypes. Contact me for further details.
Thanks for liking my post about Javanese fig trees, Jen! Have you seen such an unusual tree before?
Enjoying the natural splendor of Utah? Can it compete with the concrete trails of the New Territories?… actually, I’ve heard that Shaoguan has some good scenery, and you might even be able to take the HSR there, from Guangzhou that is.
Also, do/did you generally like American-Chinese food before you lived in Zhuhai? I’ve never been a fan of it, though a few college friends made me go to a place in Springfield, VA (Dragon Sea Buffet) because the president of Palau once ate there.
Here’s a good sound effect for the buffets: 扑通 pu1tong1, the sound of something falling in water.
That twisted fig tree was pretty amazing!
I used to go to eat Americanized Chinese take out as a child. My favorite dish was initially Lemon Chicken and later Wanton Soup.
I’m in Seattle one more day before heading back to HK where I plan to indulge in a big Sichuan dinner.
Have a good trip! Sichuan food is a good call. It’s probably not as easy to find that stuff in Seattle, but what is a treat is getting Ethiopian food.
Your husband is spot on with his ‘Chinese’ font indicator! Too funny.
I got over Mexican food while in Asia. I don’t even eat it now that I’m home!
I must be a bit of an addict: I even make my own homemade corn tortillas in Hong Kong to get my fix! And I was overjoyed when I discovered that City Super carries Hernandez Salsa Verde.
City Super is amazing! That’s one nice thing about living in Hong Kong — the availability of Western foods, even if they’re really expensive!
I’m loving all your posts from this summer – your perspective on American traditions (eating and otherwise) are spot on every time!
Glad you’ve been enjoying them! Six hours until our airplane departs and we’re headed back to Hong Kong.
That is a great talk! I now remember watching it back when you posted about going to Canada to look for good Chinese food!
The worst part of long haul travel is that you’re so happy to be going “home” but feel too crummy the first 36 hours to really enjoy being there.
Thanks! The “American-sized portions” I ate all summer long have caught up with me!
“It is your fortune to fill up now!” – Genius!
This made me laugh a lot, yet also wonder just how many Chinese restaurants/takeaways around the Western world are “branded” just like this ha!
It cuts a bit close to the actual truth, right? Glad you enjoyed it.
Your scooping description is spot on! I admit, though, that I would totally try a scoop of just about anything for $1.75! Thanks for the laugh.
When I saw the actual advertising sign that said “scoop” I almost died laughing. | 2019-04-19T22:53:41Z | https://expatlingo.com/2013/08/07/gluttony-imagined-restaurant-signs-in-china-and-america/ |
Earlier in the year I became a trustee of Build Brighton my local makerspace, one of the key things I wanted to improve was membership management.
The existing membership management consisted of a spreadsheet updated every month or so with information from bank statements and user emails, this was a very time consuming process and meant that an accurate list of members didn't exist.
Access to the Build Brighton workshop is controlled by a door entry system talking to an api, this used to be a separate member website with its own list of members. The door entry worked well but there were delays getting new members access and even longer delays removing old members.
To set about fixing these I designed a new membership website to act as the definitive list for Build Brighton.
The system included an import process to load the existing members in and a system for analysing monthly bank statements and assigning historical and future payments to the relevant members.
For new members I set up a GoCardless integration allowing people to signup and pay via direct debit, this means that immediate confirmation of a direct debit being setup is available allowing the system to maintain an accurate and real time list of current members.
Some existing users were also paying via PayPal so a simple system was setup to listen to PayPal's Instant Payment Notifications and match and assign payments to users as needed.
To reduce the amount of time required to maintain the system several background processes were implemented to check over users details and payment information and then email and turn off accounts if payments were missed or stopped.
The system also has an API for integrating with the existing door entry system, this allows for much faster updates meaning as soon as someone is approved they can access the space. This system also allows activity to be logged and presented back to members as a realtime view of people coming into the workshop.
In all this new system means that new users can join and set up a payment without requiring a trustee to manage the process, it also gives the user full control to view and update their details and pay for ancillary service such as equipment inductions. It also removes the many hours of bank reconciliation that used to occur to keep the records up to date.
The system was built as an open source project and is available on GitHub, it also has a range of unit and functional tests to ensure bugs and errors can't make it to the live site.
It was built using the Laravel framework and uses TravisCI and Laravel Forge to ensure all updates are quickly tested and deployed with no or limited human intervention. | 2019-04-19T05:30:57Z | https://arthurguy.co.uk/portfolio/bbms |

In any case involving business ownership, whether the business venture began during the marriage or before the marriage, leads to special valuation and distribution issues. This is particularly complicated if the business is privately held by a few owners. Sometimes a portion or the entire business interest has been gifted from a family member. The lawyer needs to identify the business value at marriage, at receipt of the gift, at time of separation and the current value. In many instances the basis for valuation is controversial and subject to challenge. The lawyer will ask the client to hire a business evaluator. Client cooperation is key to efficiently and comprehensively completing the calculation of values as needed. The non-business owner client often has unique insights to share with the evaluator. In a case where the spouse has business income due to ownership, it may be considered income from an asset, not income available for support. Your attorney will assess the most favorable treatment of the business as an asset and as a source for future support for each client. | 2019-04-24T14:35:08Z | https://www.hsfamilylaw.com/practice-area/business-valuation-double-dip/ |

The TRACE RA study showed that atorvastatin significantly reduced LDL cholesterol in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Data show that calprotectin levels discriminated septic arthritis from pseudogout and rheumatoid arthritis.
A combination of ultrasound and serologic findings can be used to identify early rheumatoid arthritis.
Patients with RA with inadequate response to methotrexate showed significant improvement when treated with sarilumab plus methotrexate.
Higher levels of disease activity, comorbidities, disability, and poor quality of life contribute to reductions in alcohol use among patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD-related mortality compared with the general population. Despite the growing recognition of CVD as a common complication of RA, many rheumatologists do not aggressively manage CV risk in patients with rheumatic disease.
Validation of a patient-report outcome instrument as an effective independent tool for measuring disease activity and treatment response may one day allow decreased reliance on expensive or time-consuming assessments, such as magnetic resonance imaging or joint counts.

(UPDATED) The filing of certificates of candidacy for city mayor is on April 21 and 22, while the campaign period is from April 23 to May 6.
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has scheduled for May 8 the recall elections in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, where voters will decide whether to replace Mayor Lucilo Bayron.
It was confirmed by Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez in a phone interview with Rappler on Monday, April 6, saying that the poll body agreed on the calendar of activities for the recall elections during its en banc session.
The filing of certificates of candidacy for city mayor will be on April 21 and 22, according to Comelec Resolution 9942, promulgated on Tuesday, April 7. Mayor Bayron will automatically be a candidate in the recall election.
The campaign period will be from April 23 to May 6.
On election day, May 8, polling precincts will be open from 7 am to 3 pm.
The gun ban and a prohibition on the suspension of any elective official, among others, will be enforced in the city during the entire election period, from April 20 to May 18.
Other bans like the appointments ban, a public works ban, and a ban on the release of public funds during the campaign period and on election eve are also prescribed in Comelec Resolution 9942.
The Comelec has around a month to prepare for the recall polls, set a year and a day before the next national and local elections on May 9, 2016.
For the recall elections in Puerto Princesa, the Comelec will use all forms and supplies originally set aside for the postponed 2013 Sangguniang Kabataan (SK or youth council) elections, as well as excess and available election paraphernalia from the midterm and barangay elections in 2013, and other previous polls.
In addition, the Comelec ruled that the ongoing voter's registration in Puerto Princesa City for the 2016 polls will be suspended from April 20 to May 17.
ANC's Beyond Politics host Lynda Jumilla tweeted the news on Monday, after her interview with acting Comelec Chairman Christian Robert Lim for the show.
On March 30, the Comelec dismissed an appeal by Puerto Princesa City Mayor Lucilo Bayron, who assailed the process of verification of signatures and thumbmarks on the recall petition against him.
The poll body also affirmed the validity of 22,326 signatures in the petition, which was initiated by former city information officer Al Roben Goh in March 2014.
Goh sought the recall of Mayor Bayron due to "loss of trust and confidence" in him, following the alleged deterioration in the peace and order situation, the city's poor tourism performance, and other governance issues. | 2019-04-23T19:57:13Z | https://www.rappler.com/nation/89099-puerto-princesa-recall-elections-may-8 |
Oh yeah, and he used to be the president of America – a job that meant he spent most of the day killing people with drones (at least that is how I imagine it, can’t be much more to it than that really?).
The former first daughter was first spotted kissing fellow Harvard student Rory at a Harvard-Yale tailgate, just before a football game began.
To be fair, Rory has had his taste of elected leadership too, he was head boy at prestigious British private school Rugby. According to the Mail Online, Rory played golf for the school and – unsurprisingly – also played rugby.
In 2015, he appeared as an extra in a video for the Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony – a video so posh it featured Prince Harry – no sure if that’ll be enough to impress the former leader of the free world though.
And now Charlotte Griffiths at theDaily Mail has heard from her ‘high-society informants’ that Barack and Michelle Obama have written a letter to the boy dating their eldest daughter.
However, instead of the furious protective parents whose daughters I always seemed to date as a youth, the Obamas are characteristically chill.
Which is pretty cute of them to be honest. The more I learn about the Obamas the more they sound like ridiculously solid people. Obviously, not everyone agrees with their politics, but that is kind of how politics works.
So it is good to know that the Obamas have their back and are supporting the couple’s fledgling romance.
What did he expect me to do, go around deliberately annoying girls’ parents until their daughters threw themselves at me? | 2019-04-21T10:16:05Z | https://www.unilad.co.uk/news/barack-obama-sends-note-to-malias-british-boyfriendas-rory-farquharson/ |

This document lists the officially-supported errors and exceptions for smart home devices. Use these errors and exceptions to alert end users to issues related to a given command or device state.
You should return an error code when an issue causes an execute or query request to fail. For example, if a door lock is jammed and cannot be locked or unlocked, an error about this state should be returned to the user.
Error codes can be attached at the global level or at the device level. For example, if the user asks to turn off all their lights, a single provider may return a global-level error if their entire hub is offline and no lights can be controlled, or a device-level error if a single light is offline.

You should return an exception when there is an issue or alert associated with a command. The command could succeed or fail.
If the command was successful (status = "SUCCESS"), report exceptions using the StatusReport trait (for devices other than the target), or by returning an appropriate exceptionCode (for the target device).
For example, if the dryer lint screen is full the user can still start their dryer, but you may want to warn them about this state. Similarly, when a device has a low battery that is not empty, you can still execute a command but should let them know that the device battery is low.
If the command fails due to exceptions, the status should be "EXCEPTIONS", and the exceptions should be reported using the StatusReport trait.
The front door lock has low battery. Locking the front door.
This example is for arming a security system: Ok, arming the security system. The front window is open.
The following exceptions will produce the associated TTS on the device.

SnoreDoc Review – A Cheaper Alternative, But Does It Really Work?
The Best Anti Snoring Mouthpiece!
That is the claim made by the companies official website. In this article, we plan to do an in-depth SnoreDoc Review to verify the claims.
Many factors determine how good or useful instead, an anti-snoring device is. Moreover, lacking just one or more of those elements will make or break a product.
Finding a product that has it all is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
So believe it or not such a product has not yet been made.
Snoring differs between individuals. And this is not just my opinion; it is a fact.
It may seem like everyone is just snoring the roofs off, but there are underlying conditions that cause snoring.
Credit: Dailymail.co.uk What type of snorer are YOU?
Many snorers suffer from some form of sleep apnea. It could be Obstructive sleep apnea, Central sleep apnea, or maybe Complex sleep apnea syndrome. Then again it could also just be a mild form of snoring which can plainly be resolved by using an anti-snoring device.
However, the problem remains. There is no one product fix for snoring as even mild snorers differ from person to person. And most times the position the person sleeps in determines when or if they snore. Your sleeping position also the intensity of their snoring.
SnoreDoc like most other efficient snoring mouthpiece is a Mandibular Advancement Device. These Mandibular Advancement devices, as it is referred to by medical professionals, work for a straightforward reason.
They help restore your blocked airways.
When you sleep the soft tissue at the back of the throat relaxes, and it makes it harder for you to breathe correctly resulting in forced breathing. This blocked up air passage is what produces that annoying vibrations we refer to as snoring.
The MADs solve this by directly bringing the lower jaw forward. This forward movement of the jaw allows more air to flow through our throat to our lungs. And eliminates or dramatically reduces our snoring issue!
Who should be using this product?
How Much Does SnoreDoc Cost?
What are the Pros and Cons of SnoreDoc Mouthpiece?
How Does SnoreDoc Compare to Others?
To be crowned the best MAD on the market the product needs to satisfy a few conditions.
It Must Have a Good Price!
Must be made from the best Materials!
Should be approved and backed by reputable sources such as the FDA.
Must be made by an expert.
Must be proven to eliminate or reduce the problem at hand.
It should be highly purchasable from different countries.
It must have Good customer satisfaction ratings.
None of the conditions we listed above can be missing or lacking in any way for it to be named the best. So you will see just where the SnoreDoc stands after reading this review.
I am an avid reader, health enthusiast and writer that specializes in all things related to sleep. I have spent the last four years testing and reviewing many different gadgets that enhance people's sleep quality.
And let's face it, not many of us get to enjoy a good nights rest for quite many reasons. Otherwise, you would not be reading this review.
Like many of you, I am a dreaded snorer too. However, after spending months researching, testing and reviewing many anti-snoring gadgets. I have a solid grasp of what products work and which ones only work "In Theory."
I have gone from mouthpieces to chin straps to medical grade gear such as CPAP machines and different surgical procedures. All to be able to provide reliable information on the best anti-snoring appliance.
For the SnoreDoc mouthpiece, I spent 12 hours reading tonnes of reviews by users and other experts that have tested the product. I have also watched more than 30 videos related to the product before putting together this study.
Before using any anti-snoring device, it is always recommended to seek medical advice to find out more about your condition. Snoring is an illness and is very rarely found not to have an underlying cause.
Many snorers suffer from dangerous conditions such as elevated blood pressure, diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea and many others illnesses.
This product is for you if you consistently wake in the mornings feeling tired as if you have not slept at all.
If you head out every day and feel like the days are dragging on and on you might not be sleeping properly. So using the SnoreDoc or other similar anti-snoring mouthpieces would work great.
If your days seem foggy and you just can't seem to get enough work done, and things keep going wrong.
If your situation matches any of the above scenarios or similar, I would advice monitoring your sleep quality. You may have issues breathing correctly at nights, which causes you to feel tired and down when you wake up.
As I mentioned earlier, snoring is a serious medical condition and seeking medical attention is crucial.
The Original SnoreDoc is an anti-snoring mouthpiece that uses mandibular advancement to eliminate or reduce snoring.
Like most ordinary MADs the device holds your lower jaw forward at a fixed distance while you sleep.
Bringing the lower jaw forward opens up your airways and allows you to breathe freely.
Eliminating or Reducing snoring is just one benefit of using mandibular advancement devices like the original SnoreDoc mouthpiece.
It also helps you to get higher quality sleep which leaves you feeling refreshed when you wake up.
The problem is not all MADs are made equal. The SnoreDoc is one such product which in my opinion does not stand up to some of the others we have reviewed.
You will see why in the flaws and potential deal breakers section of our SnoreDoc review.
The product is made of thermoplastic and feels like soft rubber. I could not find the exact materials used to make the product.
The product has a simple design and does not include any loose parts such or screws. The design structure makes cleaning of the product somewhat simpler than some of the other devices in this category.
For mouth breathers, the Snoredoc may not be the best option for you.
However, there are two versions of the product we tested, one white and the newer version blue. The older white version of the product only has one small airflow hole at the front.
The tiny hole at the front severely limits breathing out of your mouth. The new blue version has two holes at the front that allows for breathing. The newer one should be a little better for persons that breathe from their mouths.
A bonus of this product is that there is a 30-day money back guarantee so refunding if it does not work is an option. The FDA also approved the product which proves that it has some credibility.
We gave the SnoreDoc a chance because of the price, it's FDA approval and the fact that it is a mandibular advancement device.
Let's face it, being able to purchase a custom fitting MAD at half the price of other products on the market is excellent. Furthermore, if the FDA stands behind it, that means that it has at least been tested; and the claims made by the company hold true to some extent.
We also liked that the company behind the SnoreDoc has been around for a few years.
As we mentioned above the price of the product is nearly half of some the more premium and effective MADs available. The product retails at just $39.99 making it one of the cheapest mouthpieces of this nature.
You might be able to get it at a discounted price of $34.99 if you purchase at the time we published this review. It also has free shipping to select destinations, and 30-day money back guarantee.
There are many pros and cons. However, the consensus of the product is what you would expect based on the price.
Uses Boil and Bite to achieve a custom fit.
The thermoplastic material feels very smooth and does not irritate.
Allows some mouth breathing through air hole at the front.
Only allows one set position of the lower jaw.
The material quality is not premium or medical grade.
Not listed as backed by the Better Business Bureau.
No clinically studies done to prove its effectiveness.
It causes some soreness because of its bulkier build.
The fitting of the device is relatively straightforward. It merely involves boiling the product and firmly biting down on the mouthpiece. We will give the exact steps to follow as the fit determines how useful the product is.
As the SnoreDoc is a one size fits all product it might not work efficiently for you because no adjustments can be made to it.
The product comes in a case which includes a popsicle stick, the mouthpiece, and a complete instruction manual.
If you follow our steps correctly, you should get a very comfortable fit. You will need the mouthpiece, the popsicle stick, and two bowls. One of the containers should be filled with boiling water and the other with tap water.
Step 1: Bring some water to a boil and pour it in one of the jars. Ensure that you already have the tap water filled in the other container.
Step 2: Place the SnoreDoc mouthpiece into the container with the boiling water and leave it there for at least 90 seconds. Ensure that you insert the stick into the air hole at the front before dipping it.
Step 3: Remove the product from the boiling water and immediately dip it in the tap water to cool it a bit. Do not leave it in the tap water for more than 15 seconds.
Step 4: Immediate place the product in your mouth in the correct position. Ensure that the extended part is at the bottom.
Step 5: Bite down firmly on the mouthpiece and hold for 30 seconds.
That is how easy it is to get the perfect fit.
Frankly, it is not that great of a product and not something we would "Highly" recommend buying at this point. The competitors all offer a lot more advanced features. Built with higher quality materials and furthermore, they have been clinically tried and proven to eliminate snoring.
The Snoredoc does not have much going for it apart from the price. Which if you are a "quality" person when it comes to your health I am sure you would opt for more premium goods.
Many other anti-snoring mouthpieces will help you achieve better results than this one. The Original SnoreDoc mouthpiece is for persons merely looking for a cheaper alternative.
Therefore, if you do not mind sacrificing your comfort and the effectiveness of the product for your snoring problem, go ahead and try it. You will lose nothing really as it is backed by a 30-day money back guarantee.
If you are desperate to get rid of your snoring, you will not mind spending a few extra bucks. I recommend checking out the VitalSleep, or even the SnoreRX.
Both products we recommend are mandibular advancement devices but of a higher standard. They are both very popular and effective in eliminating snoring.
The SnoreRx allows incremental adjustments of the lower jaw thus giving you a more comfy fit. It is also very comfortable and is made from medical grade materials.
The vital sleep mouthpiece is available in two sizes, and also allows you to make small changes to the lower jaw position. It is Latex and BPA-free and has a larger hole that allows for better mouth breathing.
Moreover, as an added benefit the company behind vital sleep also provides a full year of free replacement should anything go wrong with the product.
All in All, the original SnoreDoc is a cheap mouthpiece that you can use if you are on a budget and wish to test the effectiveness of a MADs product. | 2019-04-20T17:19:03Z | https://bodhealthiness.com/snoredoc-review/ |

Orust is Sweden’s third largest island, located sixty kilometres north of Gothenburg. The tradition of building boats dates back to Viking times, and the term ‘Orust quality’ is known and respected all over the world. Even if the number of manufactured boats has decreased, the sector is still prominent with activities in the field of boating accessories, maintenance, repairs, storage etc. Orust’s dominant position in the industry manifests itself each year in August, when the floating boat fair Öppna Varv takes place.
Trade and industry are small-scale, with many entrepreneurs. There are 2,000 businesses on Orust, and most of them have one to ten employees. Several companies have leading positions within their respective specialisations. Examples are Marinfloc, that manufacture cleaning installations for watercraft, Conscriptor, that provide medical records via the internet, and Swedeponic, that cultivate fresh herbs and salads in pots.
Hallberg-Rassy, sailing boats that are known for their Orust quality.
Marinfloc, internationally leading in the development of systems and the manufacturing of cleaning installations for watercraft, that prevent the emission of pollutants. More than 2,000 seamen from all over the world have obtained technical training by Marinfloc, so that they could service these installations themselves.
Sweden Pelagic, one of the country’s largest fish processing businesses. Here, herring is filleted and subsequently shipped on to be used in tasty preserves.
Scanfjord, Sweden’s largest producer of cultivated fresh mussels.
Nordholms Industriinstallationer. Highly qualified welding expertise that is purchased by nuclear power plants and industries that produce for instance medicine, food stuffs and petrochemical products, both in Sweden as well as abroad.
Conscriptor represents a new, growing sector that bases its activities on compiling medical records via the internet.
The discount department store Göksäter is Orust’s most prominent attraction for visitors, and welcomes more than 800,000 customers per year.
Olssons in Ellös. One of Orust’s largest E-businesses and one of Sweden’s leading suppliers of spare parts for tractors and construction machinery.
There are five industrial estates spread out evenly over Orust. They are located in Henån, Svanesund, Varekil, Mollösund and Ellös. The latter two are close to the sea. In Varekil and Ellös, plots are available for small-scale industrial applications, office spaces and other activities.
Many private real estate owners offer spaces that can be used for different purposes. Several of them also have premises in stunning settings. The municipality and these property owners cooperate willingly in order to find the right solution for businesses that need premises and office space.
Tourism is a growing sector, and as one of four municipalities, Orust participates in the tourist agency Södra Bohuslän Turism, which is owned by trade and industry. Businesses and the four municipalities work closely together.
Orustkonferens is a business network with six conference and hotel centres on the island as its members.
The water quality and a clean sea are prerequisite for living and working here. That is the reason why Orust takes part in the network ‘8 fjordar’ that is active for making the water cleaner, the fishing better, etc.
An early-stage cooperation project is called Orust Kretsloppsakademi, and consists of individuals who work for a healthy and durable community. The academy’s objective is to make Orust climate neutral by 2020.
Trade and Industry is a meeting place for trade and industry and the municipality, where questions and ideas are brought to the table in order to develop the cooperation and drive Orust forwards.
Orust has 15,000 inhabitants and is Sweden’s most densely built-up back-country. In the summer, the population more than triples. The large island to the west offers lots of different housing environments with rented and co-operative apartments, and freehold properties. Rented apartments are available in all larger towns, and also out on the traffic-free islands of Käringön and Härmanö. The municipality is developing several local plans and residential areas on the entire island.
Connections with the island are good. It takes only around 15 minutes to reach the E6 from the island’s northern- or southernmost part. From the central town of Henån to the nearest domestic airport takes about 45 minutes. You can get to an international flight in approximately one hour. At the end of 2013, work is started on the reconstruction of road 160 between Skåpesundsbron and Varekil. The road will be refurbished with a cycle path.
Since the summer of 2013, the ferry to Käringön and Gullholmen/Härmanö departs from a new terminal in Tuvesvik.
Boats have characterised Orust since long before Viking times, and this culture is still present in many settings, historic sites, names and other contexts. Dolmen, stone circles, hill forts give testimony to how man settled on the island 11,000 years ago.
Orust is the island of events. Above all during summer, The whole municipality of Orust is full of entertainment, exhibitions, organised hikes and other public happenings. Many of Sweden’s best musicians come here each year to perform for an enthusiastic crowd in the extremely special settings, on many podia. The cultural centre the Kajutan in Henån annually has more than 100 events and exhibitions.
The fact that there are active inhabitants, societies and adult education associations is very important for culture and leisure on the island. They are industrious and take the initiative for many activities.
For many of the finest leisure activities, organisers aren’t needed. Swimming, boating, the nature with its many hiking opportunities, and the traditional fishermen’s communities are always there. | 2019-04-26T04:03:13Z | https://www.positionvast.se/en/orust-2/ |

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES POLLUTING OUR BEACHES/OCEANS !
I’m hoping you will sign and share my petition below simply because you love and appreciate our beaches and oceans as much as I do.
I grew up playing volleyball in Southern California and recently experienced some incredibly wasteful behavior and beach littering at the hand of the AVP here in NYC (documentation of my experience can be found here: http://www.plasticpollutioncoa…..our-oceans)!
Together with the Plastic Pollution Coalition I’ve created a petition that can be signed here (http://p2a.co/5Ku1xh2), asking AVP to seek greener alternatives for their tours going forward, and we would greatly appreciate you signing in support!
Should you have any input or questions, please feel free to get in touch.
Thank you for your time, your consideration and for being a voice for our oceans and beaches!

A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of William Shakespeare's best known and most frequently performed plays. At the start of the play, four young Athenians leave the city for the forest; two of them are a couple eloping to escape the will of their families, the other two the unhappy would-be partners who follow them. Meanwhile, a group of mechanical laborers convene in the forest to practice a stage play to be performed at an upcoming royal marriage. Oberon, the King of the fairies, conspires with his servant Puck to undertake two tasks: resolve the discord between the couples and punish his wife Titania for her stubbornness and possible infidelity, accomplishing both with magic derived from a forest flower. Puck mistakenly applies the magic to all the wrong parties, throwing the lovers, the mechanicals and the fairy world into disarray.
While the play is generally categorized as a comedy in the tradition of the romantic farce, this production by Theater B, under the direction of Brad Delzer, strikes a somewhat darker tone, emphasizing the potentially frightening nature of the forest creatures, the uncontrolled energies of the forest and its capricious and volatile sense of justice. | 2019-04-20T00:37:02Z | http://joshuaclausen.com/theater-music-2 |

Dads2Dads: Although it can be a challenge, it’s important for parents to monitor their children’s online activities.
The body of 13-year-old Nicole Lovell of Blacksburg, Va., was found four days after she went missing. Virginia Tech University students David Eisenhauer and Natalie Keepers have been arrested. Nicole apparently met Eisenhauer on social media and snuck out of her bedroom on at least one occasion to meet him. Police said Eisenhauer used this relationship to abduct and kill the girl. Keepers is charged with participating and helping to dispose of Nicole’s body.
Too many of our children are far more trusting of situations and people on the Internet than they would be in person. For some, that trust results in threats, improper relationships and even harm or death.
Just as we should want to know where our teen goes and who she is with, the same should apply for exploring the Internet. What should we parents tell our kids about the risks of online activity?
•Develop boundaries for what you will share with others.
•Be selective in choosing friends.
•Communicate. Define expectations for online use. Don’t be afraid to take away access if these expectations aren’t met.
•Listen. Ask questions, including those that can’t be answered by a simple yes or no. Then listen.
•Be patient. Words can come slowly between a parent and teen. Look for the right moment. Allow ample time for a thoughtful, meaningful and open exchange.
•Be reassuring. Keep asking how things are going with online friends and look for any reluctance, embarrassment or silence.
•Be understanding. Kids need to create their own independence. We must balance their desire for independence with a sense of responsibility.
•Be supportive. Growing up is hard. So is setting the stage and providing direction. Your teen may resist your attempts to “control.” The sad story of Nicole and her parents reminds us of this. While children need space to explore, they also need to be wrapped in the harbor of your love and direction so that they can grow without fear or harm. | 2019-04-19T20:41:56Z | https://www.dnj.com/story/life/2016/02/15/providing-safety-net-internet/80295928/ |
Australia’s government-funded organisation NICTA will help protect the US from cyber attacks to its drones in an US$18 million project.
Australia's government-funded organisation NICTA will help protect the US from cyber attacks to its drones in an US$18 million project.
An international consortium won the contract, led by Rockwell Collins, with NICTA as a core member, and the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in a 4.5-year project.
Other members of the consortium include the Boeing Company, Galois and the University of Minnesota.
DARPA is currently conducting a High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems program to develop systems that can withstand cyber threats to its drones.
"As computers replace mechanical systems in many industries, we are increasingly dependent on the functionality implemented in software," Dr Jodi Steel, director of the security and environment business team at NICTA, said in a statement.
"This project is all about making sure that such systems function as intended, even in the case of cyber attacks."
The systems developed in the program will be subject to white box attacks to expose security flaws, with the NICTA team aiming to develop a system that would help to protect the control and communications systems of drones in the US.
The US is a significant user of military drones -- unmanned aerial vehicles. Its arsenal of drones has increased from less than 50 a decade ago to around 7000, according to a report by the New York Times, with Congress sinking nearly $5 billion into drones in the 2012 budget.
The US commonly uses drones called the Predator and Reaper, which are remotely piloted drones that are capable of carrying out air strikes. Recently the New York Times reported the US had carried out a drone strike on regions in Afghanistan and Pakistan, allegedly killing a Pakistani Taliban commander.
However, the use of drones in the US has been controversial. An opinion piece in the New York Times stated drone strikes in Yemen are adding to the growing hatred towards the US and spurring people on to join radical militants.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) recently filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security in the US demanding it reveals information about the use of its Predator drones. | 2019-04-22T20:15:12Z | https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/feature/security/nicta-help-protect-us-drone-fleet-3411615/ |

INDIANAPOLIS, NOV 1 : Accompanied by their parents, children attired in attractive dresses of Comicon stars, visited their neighbours and in their community area playing ‘trick-or-treat’ in a friendly way. They were offered candies, snacks or gift.
As soon as the owner opened the front door, the children, carrying Halloween baskets, said ‘trick-or-treat’. In response, the children will get candies or other sweets/gifts. “Thanks you and happy Halloween,” said the children while moving to the other neighbour between 6 to 7 p.m.
Children and their parents enthusiastically participated in Halloween. People decorated their houses with carved lanterns with ‘scary’ faces out of pumpkins. The homes and gardens were decorated in Halloween style.
Even the people of Indian origin also equally enthusiastic in Halloween. It might have reminded the Punjab’s tradition of “Sunder Mundrye Tera….” when the children will visit their neighbours asking for sweets/gifts/money etc.
Halloween which originated as a pagan festival in United Kingdom and immigrants from Scotland and Ireland brought their tradition to United States. In 1990s commercialisation of Halloween started and Halloween dresses were sold in stores from 1930s. Halloween costumes, yard decorations and candy are in big demand for Halloween.
Meanwhile, the authorities had cautioned the parents not to allow their children to eat open candies/sweets. They should ensure these treats (candies/sweets etc) are safe to eat before giving these to their children. | 2019-04-25T00:55:43Z | https://www.theindiapost.com/world/usa/haloween-has-become-part-and-parcel-of-the-people-of-indian-origin-who-have-migrated-to-usa/ |
BJD Veteran Damodar Rout was today expelled from the party over alleged anti party activities.
The expulsion was ordered by Chief Minister and BJD Supremo Naveen Patnaik late this evening.
BJD Supremo on 11 September had said that he will look into the allegations about Dr.Rout’s activities which they said was detrimental to the interest of the party.
The former Minister had recently been leveling serious allegation of corruption against various departmental officers in the State Government, in which he had served as the Minister.
Dr Rout had courted controversy for some of his remarks against Brahmins, Anganwadi workers and farmers’ suicide in State.
Reacting over expulsion, Dr.Rout said that earlier he was driven out of Ministry.
Then he was ousted as Vice President of BJD and Observer of the Party.
He said that no party members were in touch with him and he was like outcast in the regional outfit.
Dr.Rout said that he will not blame anybody for such an action and he admitted that he does not know the cause of such harsh action by BJD Supremo. | 2019-04-23T06:20:53Z | http://tathya.in/news/27861/0/Naveen-Expels-Dama |

Villa Samorna stands in almost half an acre of landscaped garden and is bordered by a small river; with its own swimming pool and the beach just moments away this beautifully furnished villa makes for an ideal holiday retreat.
Villa Samorna is situated near the Banyan Tree Hotel at the northern end of Bang Tao beach. The villa is about 15 minutes drive from the Phuket international airport and 30 minutes away from Patong Beach and Phuket Town. The property allows guests to enjoy a slice of tropical life in complete peace and privacy yet it is within easy reach of the best of what the island has to offer.
Samorna is a quiet and inviting four-bedroom pool villa set within the secured Chom Tawan estate just across the road from the glorious white sands of Bang Tao Beach. Lying at the sparsely populated northern stretch of the beach, Samorna provides a tranquil escape yet it’s less than two kilometres from the Laguna Phuket resort’s many leisure, dining and shopping choices and 18-hole golf course.
Inspired by Balinese design, Samorna’s ground floor houses a living room, dining area and study that all open up for full enjoyment of the tropics. Tucked away behind the dining room is a modern western kitchen stocked with everything required for cooking and entertaining. Upstairs, the four bedrooms are split between two wings with separate staircases, ideal for a couple of families. Two are king-bedded and the two guest bedrooms have twin beds that can be converted to kings. Each bedroom enjoys a private bathroom en-suite.
The villa is arranged in an L-shape around the lovely 12m swimming pool and terrace, which has shaded roof cover, an outdoor shower, a table and lounging furniture for alfresco dining and relaxing. The layout of this villa makes Villa Samorna ideal for two small families, as each wing has a separate staircase. Furthermore, the scenic views and tropical experiences with the bird life, garden and nearby hills will intrigue children and adults alike. Two of the bedrooms can also be arranged as twin bedrooms. The terrace leads to an ample landscaped garden hugged by a stream that flows to the sea, with the lush surrounding hills in full view from most rooms.

‘Praesidium Libertatis is a daily responsibility.’ These were the words of Rector Magnificus Carel Stolker on 8 February during the 443rd Dies Natalis of Leiden University. The University needs to pay continuous attention to open debate if it wants to remain a bastion of freedom.
Lightning strikes at Leiden University on a regular basis, and this is a good thing, Stolker remarked from the lectern in the Pieterskerk. A recent example was the clash between Leiden academics Leo Lucassen and Geerten Waling on the question of whether the position of Jews in the 1930s can be compared with that of Muslims today. Stolker himself is often asked whether such outspoken academics as Afshin Ellian and Paul Cliteur should still be welcome at the University.
In line with tradition, two Leiden professors delivered a lecture to celebrate the University’s foundation day. This year the two speakers were Bernet Elzinga and Thomas Hankemeier. Bernet Elzinga - Professor of Stress-Related Psychopathology in Leiden - explained how can we combat stress in our hectic lifestyle. ‘This may not be the most cheerful topic for a birthday party, but it is important to be aware of it, because we know from research that many students and staff experience high levels of stress. The upbringing we were given by our parents also plays a role in determining how we will handle stress later in our lives and how susceptible we are to developing psychological complaints.
Bernet Elzinga called on us to also celebrate heroic failures.
Whereas Elzinga talked mainly about young people, the second lecture focused more on the final phase of life: old age. The message of Thomas Hankemeier, Professor of Analytical Biosciences, was full of hope for the listeners in the Pieterskerk: it may well be possible for us in the near future to learn from a person’s blood whether he or she is likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s at a later date, and this knowledge brings prevention of the disease a step closer. Hankemeier believes the key is in metabolomics, mapping so-called metabolites. These are products of metabolism, the outcome of the interaction between genes and environmental factors such as nutrition and lifestyle.
Metabolites are like a traffic information service for your body, Thomas Hankemeier said. You can see exactly where the traffic is moving and where it’s at a standstill.
Halfway through the programme three young students took to the stage in the Pieterskerk. The trio, comprising horn player Emiel Beinema, oboe player Maud Busschers and pianist Friederike Pank, gave an interpretation of two classical works. The three are students of the Practicum Musicae programme at the Academy of Creative and Performing Arts. In parallel with their study programme at Leiden University they also follow an instrumental major at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.

In her word of thanks Héritier talked about how she first came to Leiden in the 1980s – funded by an Erasmus grant from the European Union, no less. She discussed her PhD topic with fellow PhD candidates from Leiden, Bielefeld, Paris, Bologna and Madrid. ‘It was a truly European moment,’ the brand-new Honorary Doctor explained. Since then she has always maintained a close bond with the City of Keys, particularly because academics from the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs also conduct a great deal of research on Europeanisation.
Adrienne Héritier was awarded an Honorary Doctorate. To the left of the photo: Professor Bernard Steunenberg, who nominated her.
Exactly on the day of the Dies Natalis, the Leiden student LGBT+ movement was also fifty years old; it was in 1968 that the Leiden Student Working Group on Homosexuality saw the light of day. To celebrate this milestone, the rainbow flag was flying over the Academy Building. In the Pieterskerk it was also clear that this year it was not only the birthday of the University that was being celebrated: sympathizers with the LGBT+ movement wore something pink or rainbow coloured to mark the occasion.
Not only the university celebrated its birthday, but also the Student Working Group on Homosexuality. | 2019-04-22T06:59:06Z | https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2018/02/180208-verslag-dies-natalis-2018-eng |

Remember your memorized Old Testament dates? 722 B.C. come to mind? The ... Captivity . . . of . . . Israel by the . . . Assyrians? OK who was Northern Israel's last king? Hoshea! He reigned circa 731 to 722 B.C. when his nation fell. You can read about that in 2 Kings 17, and it took place during the times of Isaiah, Hosea, and Micah, who also speak of northern Israel's sin and captivity.
Recently a seal, used to stamp official documents, came to auction at Sotheby's in New York. In the "Antiquities and Islamic Works of Art," it was dated to the ninth to seventh centuries B.C. It was also there misidentified as Phoenician and estimated to bring $1200 to $1800 at auction. The pictures in the catalog were clear enough to bring more, for it was actually purchased for $80,000 in December 1993. Shlomo Moussaieff, an Israeli collector from London, had purchased it.
What did he get? The royal seal of King Hoshea's servant Abdi' whose longer name was probably Obadiah (not the prophet). In this case "servant" would be like "minister" in many governments, or "secretary of . . ." in the U.S. This seal is from that 732-722 B.C. time period. It would be used to establish something as official from the king or his servant by pressing their seal into soft clay or wax. This would leave an official impression, similar in purpose as a notary's stamp does for us today.
The seal was described by Andre Lemaire in the Biblical Archaeology Review: "The seal is translucent and brown carnelian or rather orange chalcedony according to an expert gemologist scaraboid in shape [like a scarab beetle spw] and perforated from top to bottom so that it might eventually be work around the neck on a string or mounted. It is one inch high, slightly over one-half inch wide and one-third inch thick" (November/December 1995, 49). There is a picture of a man walking, with his face at a profile. He is wearing a long kilt, and a short wig, and holds a scepter identified as a papyrus scepter. There are a few Egyptian-style marks, popular on many things in antiquity; notably a winged-sun where the name would normally have been. Perhaps this was especially used to curry favor with the Egyptians when Israel was trying to avoid becoming a vessel to Assyria (see 2 Kings 17:4 and Hos. 7:11).
The wording, which identifies it as relating to Bible times is on both sides of the man. It reads: L'BDY `BD HWSH', "Belonging to Abdi servant of Hoshea." The style of lettering is Old Hebrew (paleo-Hebrew) and matches this period of time, as it can be compared with other inscriptions, such as the Siloam tunnel inscription in the time of Judah's king Hezekiah. In addition to God's providence, it was probably this tunnel that saved Jerusalem from Assyrian capture at the same time of Israel's fall (see 2 Kings 18: 17, 27, 31; 19:23-24; 20:20).
A couple of other archaeological points. One, though the seal did have one at auction, the new owner also obtained a housing for seals, and it is believed that this may be the very housing box for the Abdi' seal. It was a 2-inch wide gold mounting that would hold the seal when in use. Both seal and housing are pictured on the cover of BAR.
Secondly, Lemaire wrote of other seals in the article. One from the eighth century B.C., and was made of amethyst, and the owner's name was Habli. This Habli-seal has enough points comparison to make Lemaire think both seals were made in the very same workshop, and possibly even by the same artist. Lemaire suggested it was a shop in Samaria.
Ultimately, Samaria which had become the capital of northern Israel fell to the Assyrians. Many were taken away to other lands. People from other lands were moved to Israel. Those left in the land became known as the Samaritans, and would become enemies to Judah and the Jews, even to the time of Jesus. And though history can bring us this "remnant" from the past, the Lord would pre-serve his remnant from "all Israel" such as Paul was in Christ (see Rom. 11:1-5). | 2019-04-25T02:27:55Z | https://www.truthmagazine.com/reading-writing-and-reflecting-3 |

I don't know what the sheds behind the hoarding were but at one time they were storage for Pickford's removals. I have also seen on a map that there was a vestry building for St Paul's??

National communities are public associations formed according to the national-territorial principle. The purpose of these associations is the rapprochement of people of different nationalities, religion, and culture with the aim of mutual assistance and support, cultural and spiritual enrichment, the preservation of traditions, the development of tolerance.
Each person carries a piece of the whole, and every representative of the particular nation - a piece of his nationality, which you can share with others. The uniting function of national communities is necessary in order to realize ourselves as part of something one and the same, to join the memory of ancestors, to the ancient national customs.
The prosperity and welfare of Russia depends on each of us, each of us can contribute to the unification process between people and the development of tolerance. Multinationality and multiculturalism is what unites us and makes us stronger. | 2019-04-23T12:58:23Z | http://en.usla.ru/page/248 |

You have already taken some time to read what we are about. Our program can produce remarkable results and is scalable to suit all fitness levels. Maybe you are just not sure you believe the hype, or not sure you will “fit in” once you get to the gym. That is perfectly understandable, and you are not the only one who has felt that way. It is really easy to get started. No matter your fitness level or background, all that is absolutely necessary to start training is an open mind.
“New Member Classes” are CrossFit with interpretation. Like other areas of life, CrossFit comes with a unique language that new members may not know. During new member classes our coaches set aside extra time to accommodate the additional explanations and one on one instruction. This is a suggested starting place for all inexperienced CrossFitters – regardless of fitness level or athletic background.
Think of CrossFit like any other sport. We want to coach you to success. These classes are focused on having the coach actively modify and scale each workout to fit the new and nervous. This will make the experience more empowering.
By no means is our new member classes a watered down version of CrossFit. These classes are designed to provide you instruction on the foundational CrossFit movements including proper technique and CrossFit philosophies, just like any of our other classes.
A little worried about your fitness level? Don’t be. One of the beautiful things about CrossFit is its infinite scalability. You will be taught how to properly scale our workouts to fit within your personal level.
Also come to as many new member classes as you like. If your schedule doesn’t allow for this, then move to one of our many other classes to suit your needs! | 2019-04-18T10:32:24Z | http://www.crossfitgarage.com/new-member-classes/ |
Winter is coming! This is a great time to think about the goals for your mudroom!
This small space has to serve many functions. It is a place for your child to store their backpack, coat, and shoes when they walk through the door and a place for you to hang your keys and belongings so you do not loose them.
Many mudrooms also function as a laundry space, only adding to the chaos. Since it does serve so many purposes, it is very important to consider the materials that will go into the development of the space.
There is no reason that a mudroom cannot be stylish and welcoming. The right colors and hardware can make all of the difference in creating a space that functions exactly as it should. If you want your mudroom to be able to withstand shoe stains, mud, pets, and other clutter, you may want to find materials that are resistant to them.
One thing to consider is built-ins for easy storage. Giving everything a space can help fight clutter. Hooks for backpacks and keys are helpful for keeping things off the floor. Shoe cubbies are a great way to invite guests and family to remove shoes and keep them out of the way.
