Hi, thanks in advance for any help.
I am trying to connect the sensortag 2650 to my raspberry Pi3.
Would appreciate any pointers TQ.
do you see any error in the kura-console.log file?
org.eclipse.kura.KuraBluetoothConnectionException: Error during BLE connection.
i used a second SDcard running Kura 3.1.1 and getting a different error which seems to point towards bluetooth as per below log file snippet from kura.log. Running sudo hcitool lescan does discover the sensortag though.
org.eclipse.kura.KuraBluetoothResourceNotFoundException: BLE resource not found.
added the driver and asset in the kura web interface.
when Kura tries to connect to the device, the green led on the SensorTag is blinking?
In my experience, sometimes Kura performs a connection to the BLE device (and the green led on the SensorTag switches off), but it is unable to communicate and reports such exception. If so, try to reset the BLE device pressing the left button or removing the battery. Then insert the battery and wait until Kura tries to connect again.
thanks for your help as now it is partially working!
the sensortag green led is blinking when kura was trying to connect to the device. I removed the battery on the sensortag and reinserted and now it works in that kura.log reports the values are being read from the sensortag.
However, in the "Drivers and Assets" section of the Kura web page, when i try to read the device Data I get an "org.eclipse.kura.web.client.ui.EntryClassUi: A generic unrecoverable error happened. Please refer to the device log"
org.eclipse.kura.KuraBluetoothDiscoveryException: Error during discovery procedure.
the sensortag data like temperature etc is being written to the log so the problem is now on the "UI" level data discovery.
So almost there!....any pointers on this? | 2019-04-21T00:29:43Z | https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1090982/ |

In 2011, energy from renewable sources was estimated to have contributed 13.0% of gross final energy consumption in the EU27, compared with 7.9% in 2004 and 12.1% in 2010. The share of renewables in gross final energy consumption is one of the headline indicators of the Europe 2020 strategy. The target for the EU27 to be reached by 2020 is a share of 20% renewable energy use in gross final energy consumption. The national targets take into account the Member States' different starting points, renewable energy potential and economic performance. | 2019-04-25T04:59:37Z | https://www.eleconomist.com/2013/04/eurostat-renewable-energy.html |

The Berlin Victory Parade of 1945 is held.
he Berlin Victory Parade of 1945 was held by the Allies of World War II on 7 September 1945 in Berlin, the capital of the defeated Nazi Germany, shortly after the end of World War II. The four participating countries were the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and France.
The parade was proposed by the Soviet Union, following the June Moscow Victory Parade of 1945. July in Berlin also saw a British parade the 1945 British Berlin Victory Parade. The September parade took place near the Reichstag building and the Brandenburg Gate.
Senior officers present at the parade were Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov from the USSR, General George S. Patton from the United States, General Brian Robertson, from the United Kingdom, and General Marie-Pierre Kœnig from France. General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery declined the invitations shortly before the parade, and sent Patton and Robertson as their representatives. About 5,000 troops from the USSR, USA, UK and France took part in the parade. The parade was opened by marching troops, followed by the armour. Units present included the Soviet 248th Infantry Division, the French 2nd Infantry Division, the British 131st Infantry Brigade, and the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division; the forces present came primarily from the local garrisons. The armoured contingent came from the British 7th Armoured Division, French 1st Armored Division, and U.S. 16th Mechanized Cavalry Group. The Red Army used this occasion for the first public display of the IS-3 heavy tank, with 52 tanks from the 2nd Guards Tank Army participating.
Russian sources refer to this parade as a “forgotten parade”, as it was mentioned in only a few Western sources. The downplaying of the parade in the West can be seen as one of the early signs of the Cold War. The forces of four Allies also participated in another Berlin parade a year later, on the Charlottenburger Chaussee, in front of the Brandenburg Gate, on the first anniversary of the German surrender on 8 May 1946, in the Berlin Victory Parade of 1946. This parade was connected to the inauguration of the Soviet War Memorial at Tiergarten. Soviet troops would not be present at the much more widely known in the West London Victory Celebrations of 1946.
The first Miss America Pageant is held in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Miss America remains a role model to young and old alike. Over the years, Miss America has continually made a difference in people’s lives through her charitable and community service endeavors, using her national platform to educate millions of Americans on important issues facing society.
Miss America is more than a title, it’s a movement of empowering young women everywhere to achieve their dreams by giving them a voice to inspire change and by honoring their commitment to helping others.
In September 1920, Atlantic City Businessmen staged a “Fall Frolic” to secure summer tourism past Labor Day. This city-wide festival was highlighted by a spectacular rolling chair parade down the famed Atlantic City Boardwalk.
By 1921, East Coast newspapers were looking for ways to increase their circulation. Newspaper organizations decided to sponsor photographic popularity contests from among their readership and awarded their respective winners with an all expense paid trip to the Second Annual Fall Frolic. Once there, frolic organizers placed the young women in an “Inter-City Beauty” contest in which the judging was largely based on their general appeal in appearance, personality, conversations with the judges, and interactions with the crowds. In order to build hype, the women were later put in the running for the Golden Mermaid trophy given to “The Most Beautiful Bathing Girl in America.” Margaret Gorman swept both events. By September 1922 she became known as “Miss America.” In the ensuing years it would grow and reflect some of the most powerfully held attitudes towards what it meant to be an ideal American woman.

On Jan. 17 I took part in a meeting between Salt Spring Island residents and representatives of Penelakut Tribe to discuss the proposed tenure application for a portion of Booth Bay.
My office has received a volume of correspondence on this issue. I have heard the concerns of Salt Spring residents about aquaculture and access to the beaches at Booth Bay. My facilitation to help coordinate a face-to-face meeting is the first step toward seeking and finding common ground.
It was clarified in discussion that Penelakut intends to develop aquaculture through seeding and manually harvesting clams. They have chosen to pursue an aquaculture tenure, so they can seed the beach with clams and oysters. They are seeking tenure of the area in order to practise the act of aquaculture. This tenure is in addition to their four currently existing tenures, which are adjacent to their reserve lands.
There is a great deal of concern about the use of plastic predator netting, as is described in their application. Indeed, I share this concern. In our conversation, Penelakut representatives were clear that they do not use predator netting in their current operations and do not wish to use it at this location.
Residents were reassured that they would not lose access to the beach. Once it is seeded the clams will take 18 months to two years to grow. When they reach maturity, members of Penelakut Tribe will harvest and depurate the product. As the beach could be contaminated the shellfish will be sent to a company on Vancouver Island to be depurated (cleaned) before they go to sale.
This tenure application is evaluated and reviewed by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and Transport Canada. I have had a number of exchanges with the senior staff of Minister Doug Donaldson and will discuss this application with Minister Donaldson when we return to the Legislature in February.
I have been advised that a decision on this application will not be made until the summer of 2019.
I recognize the tension that this application has caused for some Salt Spring residents. There are some foundation steps being made to develop a clear line of communication between both communities.
As a member of the WSANEC people I also understand the important relationship the Coast Salish people have with the Salish Sea and harvesting seafood. It has been part of our culture and economy for countless generations.
It is with this sensitivity and open mind that I will facilitate conversations between both communities. | 2019-04-20T18:36:51Z | https://www.gulfislandsdriftwood.com/opinion/viewpoint-mla-facilitates-discussions/ |

Ramanathan, S and Visvanathan, V (1999) Low-power pipelined LMS adaptive filter architectures with minimal adaptation delay. In: Integration, the VLSI Journal, 27 (1). pp. 1-32.
The use of delayed coefficient adaptation in the least mean square (LMS) algorithm has enabled the design of pipelined architectures for real-time transversal adaptive filtering. However, the convergence speed of this delayed LMS (DLMS) algorithm, when compared with that of the standard LMS algorithm, is degraded and worsens with increase in the adaptation delay. Existing pipelined DLMS architectures have large adaptation delay and hence degraded convergence speed. We in this paper, first present a pipelined DLMS architecture with minimal adaptation delay for any given sampling rate. The architecture is synthesized by using a number of function preserving transformations on the signal flow graph representation of the DLMS algorithm. With the use of carry-save arithmetic, the pipelined architecture can support high sampling rates, limited only by the delay of a full adder and a 2-to-1 multiplexer. In the second part of this paper, we extend the synthesis methodology described in the first part, to synthesize pipelined DLMS architectures whose power dissipation meets a specified budget. This low-power architecture exploits the parallelism in the DLMS algorithm to meet the required computational throughput. The architecture exhibits a novel tradeoff between algorithmic performance (convergence speed) and power dissipation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Jay Rock isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Just days after releasing his third solo album, Redemption, as well as the second video from the album, Rock is already back with a third set of visuals from said album. As earlier today he premiered through Vevo the new Jack Begert & Dave Free co-directed video for his J. Cole collaboration, OSOM. Easily one of the most standout tracks from the album, the new visual like pretty much almost all (probably really all) TDE visuals really brings the record truly to life and plays more like an actual cinematic mini-movie masterpiece. As the new visual opens with both emcees in a motel room and Rock washing his hands from a bloody situation him and Cole got in. They then concoct a plan and put away the stash that they got together and go their separate ways till their planned time to meet again later. Rock and Cole than go through the different motions throughout the day riding around the city. Whether it be stopping for gas, food or stopping to visit their girl’s crib, as in the case of the latter. They both feel paranoid and like someone is out to get them. Which they both hint at towards the end of the clip, when they meet up again as they had planned from the beginning. Rock feeling more like it’s just bad weed, while Cole feels it’s actually somebody out to get one or both of them. The very suspenseful visual is easily the best visual I’ve seen so far this year and in quite some years with how it grabs and literally holds your attention from the very beginning of the clip to the end like a true suspense thriller show or movie. It’s quite eerie at how it really hits home with all the recent passings in the Hip-Hop community that make it that much more symbolic for not only many of the music artists and in particular emcees or just rappers in the Hip-Hop community right now, but how a lot of us fans can even relate too. Even if we don’t reach the full on paranoia levels a lot of these artists experience, we can still get pretty dang close though. Which is why this is such a great visual that you really need to watch from beginning to end and if nothing else you do today, at least make sure you watch this. It will make you cherish your life and others around you lives, whether family, friends or whoever else that much more. | 2019-04-19T04:21:06Z | http://thehiphopdemocrat.com/2018/06/20/jay-rock-drops-very-dark-suspenseful-new-video-osom-feat-j-cole/ |
I recently picked up Jonathan Tyler & the Northern Lights 2010 album ‘Pardon Me’ for a bargain 99p in a local charity shop. I can’t find anywhere that he is related to Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, yet he has a little of that man’s vocal in his. An album full of classy blues/southern rock with a nice curveball in the a capella on Ladybird, simply magnificent.
Since this album’s release Jonathan Tyler has gone solo and in a more country/Americana direction.
Go seek out a copy now!

Thought I’d ramble on a bit about music I have picked up in CD format (I am very lucky to get new music/releases as part of the Get Ready To Rock! team). I picked up a copy of Massive Wagons’ ‘Full Nelson’ album (which won the GRTR! Readers Album of the Year poll). Having seen them live (go see them live they are excellent) and heard a few songs via Spotify the album is barnstormer. Plenty of no frills hard rock and as GRTR! Live Ed Dave Wilson wiselyt noted they could be the new Slade, not so much in their sound but their appeal to wide audience and love of a good melodic riff.
A recent charity shop bargain was Bastille’s ‘Bad Blood’, bit slow on catching-up on this one as it came out six years ago but hey we get there. Bastille have a knack, like Imagine Dragons, of mixing catchy melodies backed by varied percussion and backing vocal arrangements. Pop prog anyone?! One my children like as well, so a win win.
Last one for now is 100 Hits – The Best Soft Rock Album. Now if you frequent your local Sainsburys you will see a never ending array of 100 Hits, Now and various eras compilations. Despite CD sales falling overall, the rise of compilation CD sales seems to march onwards. Many music fans regard these as they would tribute bands, ones to be avoided, however this soft rock one has a good selection with the usual staples of REO Speedwagon, Survivor, Air Supply plus some more modern choices from the Calling, Train and the Script. It does lose a point for Jennifer Rush though! Shame you can’t scrub a song of an CD. All in all not bad for under a fiver for five CDs.

Great cause and great bands/artists appearing including Voodoo Vegas, Ryan Roxie, the Jokers, Ash Wilson, Boneyard Dog, Jupiter Falls, Sons of Liberty & more.
We have some rather fantastic news for you out there. As of today we have dropped the ticket price to £30.00 for a full weekend pass and £16.00 per day. This is true value for money when you look at the fabulous talent available for your listening pleasure over the course of the weekend.
At COTR we realise money is tight after Christmas with the bills so we have come up with a compromise that will ensure you get a weekend you will never forget and Macmillan generate some much needed funds to enable them to do the incredible work they do.
Never has a line up like this been seen in Cheshire and if we don’t get the support it is unlikely to ever again. Cheshire has suffered with a lot of its best known music venues disappearing over the years. We are not only doing this to raise money for the Macmillan cause but also to give back Cheshire back what it so desperately needs, Proper live music by original artists.
So I am calling on the local rock community to get behind this event and discover some of the best live talent on the planet!

Gentoo Forums :: View topic - Austrian Mirror wanted?
Posted: Mon May 13, 2002 7:54 am Post subject: Austrian Mirror wanted?
Wie schauts aus, gibt es bereits einige gentoo-user in .at? Ich hab mir überlegt einen mirror in wien zu installieren (zumindest rsync, oder besser einen richtigen), allerdings hab ich keine ahnung wieviel traffic da auf mich zukommt bzw was der spass kostet.
i intend to set up a gentoo-mirror in vienna/austria, at least a rsync-server, but full mirror would be nice. but i have got no idea about what traffic this might cause and cost.
I am offering a server and pay for it each month, keep it up and running. But I am not able to pay for all the traffic caused. Any information concering the mirror would be made public (to make clear that I don't want to enrich myself by doing this).
If there are any legal or moral problems about my intentions/ambitions, please let me know. I never ever before decided to actively support a (larger) linux-project, so if there are certain rules with that game I don't know them, please tell me!
If there are (enough) people interested, I will of course coordinate everything with the gentoo-developers or those taking care of the servers/mirrors so far, give them necessary access to the server, whatever is needed.
You probably should check with the admins of some of the other mirrors to see what kind of bandwidth they're churning through each month. It would not surprise me to learn that usage for some of the busier mirrors is 1TB+ per month.
Just crunching some theoretical numbers, a sustained usage of ~2Mbit/s over the course of a month would add up to ~648GB of data transferred in a month.
Not trying to dissuade you from setting up a mirror -- I think more mirrors are always a good idea. Just making sure you know what you could be getting into. | 2019-04-19T18:26:33Z | https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-2395-start-0.html |

While verifying the fix to the Java 2.2250738585072012e-308 bug I found an OpenJDK testcase for verifying conversions of edge case subnormal double-precision numbers. I ran the testcase, expecting it to work — but it failed! I determined it fails because Java converts some subnormal numbers incorrectly.
The OpenJDK testcase is a Java class that tries to verify that a decimal number “just above” or “just below” a subnormal power of two rounds to that subnormal power of two (the subnormal powers of two are 2-1023 through 2-1074). Precisely, what it tests are numbers that are within ±2-1075 of each of those negative powers of two. 2-1075 is a half a unit in the last place (ULP) — half of 2-1074, the value of a ULP for all subnormal numbers.
The testcase uses Math.scalb() to generate a double representing each power of two. From each double, it uses the BigDecimal class to generate the decimal strings representing the numbers 1/2 ULP above and 1/2 ULP below the power of two. It then calls Double.parseDouble() to convert each pair of strings, making sure they both convert to the original power of two.
Subnormal double-precision numbers range from 1023 to 1074 decimal places. The BigDecimal strings, which are expressed in scientific notation, represent numbers with 1075 decimal places. They are one decimal place too long, and must be rounded to 1074 places.
In terms of binary, subnormal numbers have 1 to 52 significant bits, unlike normalized numbers, which have 53. The BigDecimal strings, when converted to binary, are 53 significant bits long, with bit 53 always 1; they must be rounded to 52 bits. These are tough halfway cases, that are sometimes rounded incorrectly by Java.
I modified the OpenJDK testcase to generate 1/2 ULP tests for randomly generated subnormal numbers, not just powers of two. I discovered that any decimal number halfway between any two subnormal numbers may be rounded incorrectly.
I ran my testcase on a 32-bit Windows XP system, using Java SE 6 — both updates 23 and 24. Below, I’ll show four examples of incorrectly rounded conversions.
I wrote a Java bug report for this problem: Bug ID 7019078: Double.parseDouble() converts some subnormal numbers incorrectly.
Java Bug 4396272 reports an error in the conversion of 2-1075: it should round to zero (by half-to-even rounding), but instead rounds to 2-1074.
All of the incorrect conversions I found were off by one ULP. This is consistent with other languages — like Visual C++ and GCC C — that don’t use David Gay’s correctly rounding strtod() function.

When as Maryland residents we apply for drivers licenses at the MVA, we sign a form which states that if reasonable grounds exist to believe that we have consumed alcohol, we will submit to testing to determine blood-alcohol content (BAC). This is known as the Implied Consent Law.
A driver found in such a position can still refuse to take the test, however refusal to do so can often result the suspension of his or license. The driver can still be arrested if the officer has reason to believe he or she is under the influence or impaired by alcohol or drugs. For a first refusal, the suspension is for 120 days. For a subsequent refusal, the suspension is for 1 year. The suspension for refusing or failing the chemical test is separate from the citations received for the driving infractions.
If you have been arrested and will be scheduled for court for a DUI and related charges in Harford County, Cecil County, Baltimore County, Bel Air, Elkton, Towson or Essex you should contact attorney Frank Henninger to schedule an appointment. During the initial consultation with Attorney Frank Henninger, the options in response to the refusal or failing of the chemical test will be explained in detail.
DUI lawyer Frank Henninger has practiced traffic defense in Harford County, Cecil County, Baltimore County, Bel Air, Elkton, Towson or Essex, Maryland since 1992. For more than 19 years, he has worked closely with his clients to understand their unique and individual challenges and to arrive at the best possible defense for their situation. As a member of the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorney Association and the National College for DUI Defense, Mr. Henninger provides experienced representation that protects his clients’ rights in DUI law matters. | 2019-04-26T14:34:57Z | https://henningerlaw.com/maryland-implied-consent-law/ |
Yields were also up modestly following the well-received $37 billion auction of five-year notes on Tuesday afternoon, a $1 billion increase in supply from July. Demand was fair, with indirect bidders - traditionally used as an indication of foreign interest - taking 66.24 percent, slightly less than 67.20 percent the previous month. Direct bidders took 9.01 percent versus 8.70 percent last month.
The results of Tuesday’s auction “aren’t super impressive, but they are encouraging in the context of today’s broad market cheapening,” said Thomas Simons, senior money market economist at Jefferies.
The yield on the U.S. benchmark 10-year Treasury note was last up 3.5 basis points at 2.886 percent, after also rising 2.9 basis points on Monday’s trade news. The 30-year bond yield rose 3.5 basis points to 3.034 percent, after rising 2.8 basis points Monday. | 2019-04-18T23:21:23Z | https://uk.reuters.com/article/usa-bonds/treasuries-nafta-progress-demand-at-5-year-note-auction-buttress-yields-idUKL2N1VJ14I |

Some scientists poke needles at our bubbles of happiness. Yes, at least they did for me.
I was touting my grey hair as a sign of wisdom for many years. But now, some researchers have ‘discovered’ the ‘real’ reason for this greying, thus exposing my ‘wisdom’!
Scientists, using FT-Raman spectroscopy have proved hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage in the entire human hair follicle, inclusive of the hair shaft, as a critical element in senile hair greying.
A complex process maintains our original hair colour. At least three enzymes are involved – catalase, methionine sulfoxide reductase (MSR) and tyrosinase. Catalase is an enzyme present in the hair follicles, among other locations. This enzyme usually breaks down the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen and water. MSR repairs the transient effects of H2O2 on hair follicles typically.
The level of catalase and MSR diminishes with advancing age. Catalase reduction results in increased accumulation of H2O2. MSR is also less. Thus H2O2 induced damage is not reversed.
This accumulation of H2O2 results in the impaired function of the third enzyme mentioned, tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is necessary for melanin production that is responsible for our hair (and skin) colour.
See, now it has nothing to do with wisdom! And the fact that I am writing about this and letting everyone know the ‘secret’ behind my grey hair is enough proof!

Imagine a life without rules. You are free to do whatever you want, say whatever you want, and face no real consequence for it. Such a scenario came upon a group of boys stranded on an island in The Lord of the Flies, a play based on William Golding’s novel of the same name. The director and students of Stone Bridge High School’s Running Dog Productions carried the dark plot beautifully, delving into the psychology of a society left unchecked.
The play’s central character, Ralph (Jeffrey Davis), is fair-minded but pliable boy, and leads the other children in working towards rescue. At the same time, Jack Merridew (Nick Gagliano), a boys’ choir leader, is preoccupied with the idea of hunting and vies for power with Ralph. Davis and Gagliano create a tense dynamic, one representing the corruptible good in people and the other, the inherent evil. Gagliano gave a truly crazed (and loud) performance as he led his boys into savagery, but Davis’s equally honest and intense performance resonated with the remnants of innocence and good.
None of the development of neither Davis nor Gagliano would be possible without the performance of Celia Lechtman as Piggy. She successfully crossed gender lines to be the voice of reason that could have saved them, albeit the one that none of the boys wanted to hear. She, along with Heather Reed as Simon brought weight to the piece as they became victims to human savagery.
Reed’s performance was memorable yet disturbing as Simon grew frightened and confused at dark visions. The visions and voices, which may have been less impactful if only portrayed by an actor on stage, was magnified tenfold by a truly terrifying prop and appropriate lighting. The lighting throughout the show was consistent and effective, adding contrast especially to the conversations between the different groups of boys. Walker Lesan, Taylor Brake, and Brittany Couell, who were all responsible for sound and lights, did a cohesive job of adding details of reality and drama to every scene.
Sound and lights stood out in particular whenever the Island Spirits performed as an ensemble. The choreography by Olivia Howard, Kate O’Toole, and Lizzie Fulham incorporated elements of modern dance that translated well to the tribal feeling that the island took on. The Island Spirits were a new addition to the play, and they added a literal feeling to the changes that the boys encountered. They were the energy of the island and from beginning to end, seemed to assist the boys in whatever good or bad they desired to do.
Running Dog Productions remained professional, unique, and thoroughly entertaining in their performance. It was teeming with talent and creativity and became a superb rendition of a disturbing classic.

The Toro Co has announced that earnings for its third quarter have advanced from their position last year.
The company's earnings came in at $79.01 million, or $0.73 per share. This compares with $68.40 million, or $0.61 per share, in last year's third quarter.
Analysts had expected the company to earn $0.66 per share, according to figures compiled by Thomson Reuters.
The company's revenue for the quarter rose 4.4% to $655.82 million from $627.94 million last year.
Richard M. Olson, Toro’s chairman and chief executive officer said in a statement, "As anticipated, we saw strong demand for our walk power and zero-turn mowers as our residential business rebounded nicely after the slow start to spring."
He continued, "The success of new products also helped bolster sales in our landscape contractor businesses, which drove professional segment revenue growth for the quarter. New products like the Exmark Radius, the Toro TITAN HD and the new diesel-powered zero-turn mowers in our landscape contractor businesses, have been well received by customers.
"Looking ahead, both our BOSS Snowplow and residential snow businesses have strong orders in hand and are well positioned for the coming season." | 2019-04-26T11:39:10Z | http://www.servicedealer.co.uk/component/zoo/toro-profits-advance-in-q3?Itemid=101 |
The population size is unknown. This subpopulation is a geographic catch-all to account for polar bears outside of the polar bear nations’ jurisdictions.
The Arctic Basin area. See also the complete map (all subpopulations).
The Arctic Basin subpopulation is a geographic catchall to account for polar bears resident in northern areas of the circumpolar Arctic that are not clearly part of other subpopulations. Polar bears occur at very low densities here, in part because of deep, cold, stratified, and less biologically productive water and, formerly at least, extensive coverage by multiyear ice. It is known that bears from several subpopulations may use the area (Durner and Amstrup 1993). As climate warming continues, it is anticipated that areas where some ice may still remain over the continental shelf may become important for polar bears as a refuge but a large part of the area is over the deepest waters of the Arctic Ocean and biological productivity is thought to be low. Polar bears with cubs have recently been observed from icebreakers in this region (Ovsyanikov 2010), although it is not possible to determine whether or not these cubs were born in the Arctic Basin, or make an assessment of possible total numbers on the basis of these anecdotal observations. Ovsyanikov (pers. comm.) reported that in 2015-16 very few polar bears were seen along this route in July – August (from Svalbard to Chukotka). The northernmost documented observation was made at 89°46 5'N, which is 25 km from the North Pole (van Meurs and Splettstoesser 2003).

Could there ever be a realistic Hollywood? Perhaps a more pointed question is could anyone make a film that haphazardly finds that reality or even the dream of that reality? Robert Altman’s The Player makes a bid of sorts by presenting the nightmare of the reality with a certain bite but nary a drop of venom, presumably unlike the rattlesnake that shows up on the floor of one character’s car. Altman’s Hollywood is generally courteous but also dismissive, demanding and very aware of the amount of money it is responsible for. And at the epicenter of this swirling storm is Griffin Mill, a studio executive, only a stone’s throw away from the big job, who begins receiving threatening postcards from the author of one of thousands of banished screenplays that have passed over his desk.
Mill is a character, played by Tim Robbins, but he is one of only a handful of recognizable faces in Altman’s Hollywood that is recognizably a creation. Stars and personalities float in and out of Altman’s camera, occasionally stopping to talk shop or deliver a message, but they inhabit a gray area between the “reality” of Hollywood and a mélange of inside jokes, rumors, and exaggerations. At one point, Cher arrives at a black-and-white dress party wearing a screaming red dress; Malcolm McDowell warns Mill to not talk behind his back, next time. They are figures, characters and themselves all at once, a notion best exemplified by rushes from a film noir starring Lily Tomlin and Scott Glenn that Mill screens.
Mill doesn’t quite live up to the horror-show exec that we have been told lurks through the studios, crushing dreams with the twist of his Cartier cufflinks, but he certainly personifies that myth to David Kahane (Vincent D’Onofrio), a bitter screenwriter who Mill believes is the sender of the demise-promising postcards. Late one night, Mill decides to confront Kahane following a screening of De Sica’s The Bicycle Thieves at Pasadena’s Rialto Theater, the results of which climax with Mill drowning Kahane in a puddle of mucky water. An investigation is launched by a detective (Whoopi Goldberg), but Mill is equally busy holding off the advancing career of a rival (Peter Gallagher), tending to a budding romance with Kahane’s ex-girlfriend (Greta Scacchi), and shepherding a new project with a pestering producer (Dean Stockwell) and a hack director (Richard E. Grant).
The Player exists both as a condemnation and a celebration of the dreamlife of Hollywood in that most of its characters are unlikable or, at the very least, empathize with duplicitous, immoral behavior, while the film itself happily indulges in the same tropes that are understood by Mill and his compatriots as key to a fiscally successful Hollywood film. The realities of Mill’s crime are largely ignored to make way for his odd romance and a hefty portioning of celebrity sightings and industry jargon are essential to Altman’s sardonic detachment. But even if, as Altman has stated, parts of the film are influenced by the director’s own dealings in Tinsel Town, nothing in The Player registers as personal or, for that matter, scathing. An opposing view would certainly argue that this was intentional, that the patented leisurely tone and wavering sense of focus serve to reinforce the director’s “very modest satire” rather than elevate him out of its orbit of corruption. That’s certainly a possibility, but even exempting these facets, The Player‘s basic intrigue is derived more from Altman’s stylistic choices than from any crumb of insight into the world the director had made his living in since the 1950s, counting his television work.
Adapted by Michael Tolkin from his own novel of the same name, The Player nevertheless remains a curious contraption, a somewhat goofy, well-acted, and completely entertaining experiment that, for no apparent reason, has been placed by numerous critics next to Altman’s genuine triumphs (Nashville, The Long Goodbye, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Short Cuts). It’s a hoot to watch Alan Rudolph pitch “Ghost meets The Manchurian Candidate,” and there are few jokes better than the slogan that hangs above the nameless studio where Mill works: “Movies: Now, More Than Ever.” But no one member of the industry is shown as even slightly as calculating and uncaring as Mill, suggesting that though everyone buys into the business, the execs are especially flushed with a cruel euphoria when the sureness of capitalism overrides the risk of art. And it’s perhaps this inability to admit the ubiquity of the corruption and money-minded decisions in Hollywood that makes a movie about big-studio politics hard to pull off. Often enough, as is true of The Player, these films evoke fascination in fits and spurts but are ultimately just another funny, edgy, and suspenseful dramatic thriller…with heart.
The 1080p transfer that Warner Bros. has afforded The Player is inarguably grainy, but this has more to do with the film stock than the transfer. In fact, the image has been given added definition and color in comparison to the splotchy, muddied DVD transfer. Black levels are solid, as are flesh tones, and there’s a great deal of depth to the image. The Blu-ray also features a strong lossless DTS-HD Master 5.1 treatment that picks up all the overflowing, scattered conversations in Altman’s Hollywood and holds up well in more atmospheric scenes, such as a trip to a hot springs in the California desert. As would befit Altman, it’s not a show-off affair, but it does right by the film.
The commentary, with Altman and screenwriter Michael Tolkin, is a bit laborious but not without its moments of fascination. Far more interesting is the 16-minute featurette “One on One with Robert Altman,” where the master discusses a handful of scenes he left out as well as some tidbits about improvising on the set and incorporating situations from his life in pictures into the film. This is also that rare case where many of the deleted scenes do add a certain layer to the film; some of them would have been well worth keeping. The theatrical trailer is also included.
Robert Altman’s over-praised yet highly enjoyable skewering of the business of making movies arrives on Blu-ray in a befittingly humble and loving audio and visual transfer. | 2019-04-25T07:49:19Z | https://www.slantmagazine.com/dvd/the-player/ |

The saga of oil price rise goes back to October 6, 1973 when Egyptian President Anwar Sadat decided to restore the self-esteem of his armed forces and the nation by launching the Yom Kippur war. Today is the 45th anniversary of that event.
Rising oil price: India is reeling under its economic and political ramifications.
Forty five years ago, most of us never thought twice about filling the fuel tanks of our vehicles. A full tank of my Vespa scooter cost me Rs 6. My parents' Ambassador car needed Rs 50 to be brimful. Fuel was the last of our worries and we consumed it as if the good times would never end. They did, on October 6, 1973, the day of Yom Kippur, the holy day of atonement of sins by the Jews. President Anwar Sadat of Egypt launched one of the best ever conceived, planned and coordinated military offensives in history, into his own territory. That territory was then held by Israelis along the Suez Canal front with the entire Sinai under them, having captured it in the lightning offensive of the Six Day War of June 1967. That Sadat's offensive floundered at the altar of execution, the bane of the planner, is a different story. Importantly, it upset the breeze of a life we lived in those times. Prices of fuel shot up and very soon my scooter's full tank was costing me Rs17; that's an increase of three and a half times almost overnight. Imagine if petrol were to suddenly cost you Rs 275 a litre! A heart-stopping development for most of us.
What's the connection between Sadat's Yom Kippur war of October, 1973 and oil prices? That's what I will endeavour to explain in brief.
The Yom Kippur war: The conflict itself is one of the most studied and analysed conflicts of the Cold War period. It stood out for three things in terms of military technology. One, the first serious use of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) in the mechanised battlefield, the SS 11B1 and the shoulder fired Malutka of the Soviet family and the American TOW (developed in 1970) which worsted the Israeli, Egyptian and Syrian armoured assaults in the war. Two, was the use of Surface to Air Guided missiles (SAM6 and shoulder fired SAM7, again of the Soviet family). The third was the first demonstrated employment of the T-72 tank and the BMP-1, both iconic combat vehicles of the Soviet era.
Anwar Sadat put together a beguiling plan to deceive the ever-prepared Israeli armed forces and achieved almost total surprise. A young Egyptian military engineer developed a method of hosing down the high banks of the Suez Canal to provide access to Egyptian bridging and mechanised war fighting material even as hordes of Egyptian infantrymen with ATGMs went rushing across the canal and fanned into the desert to take on the Israeli armoured counter-attacks. SAM launchers were also rushed over the bridges to their pre-designated sites and kept at bay the attacking Israeli air force, thus creating a 10-km air defence umbrella. Despite the early success, the Egyptians floundered as the plan desisted from further ingress, diluting into a defensive holding action with the canal behind the Egyptians. In the end, the Egyptians were roundly defeated due to the massive airlift of state-of-the-art military equipment by the US to support Israel; TOW missiles were deployed from the airfields directly into action.
The connection with the oil crisis: Arab oil producers seething at the western support to Israel imposed an embargo on any nation seen to be with Israel. The decision to boycott and punish the US and the West led to the price of crude to rise from $3 per barrel to $12. The price of petrol all over the world shot up drastically, making transport more expensive. The demonstrated power of energy and its crunching effect on international economics first came to be realised in the wake of this embargo.
It sent the international political stock of countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran much higher. The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was founded in 1960 by Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and Venezuela with the principal objective of raising the price of oil. Others soon joined them. For the first decade, OPEC had little impact on the price of oil, but by the early 70s, the demand for oil was increasing. Japanese and US car production was exponentially increasing and although the world was in the Cold War mode, a period of peace in the troubled 20th century was ensuring better quality of life for people. That meant an increasing dependency on travel as cities expanded along with motorised transportation and international travel. OPEC did not succeed in increasing the price of oil even till the early 70s. The Yom Kippur War came as a trigger and OPEC suddenly acquired a larger political clout. It threatened to also cut back production to create an oil crisis, sensing an opportune moment.
Spur to alternative energies: Although US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger did manage to negotiate with the Arabs on the availability of oil for the US, this crisis effectively spurred the world towards greater development of alternative energies and localisation of energy resources. The UK, for instance, developed its North Sea facility to eventually become an oil exporter. The US research led to the discovery and development of shale gas, making it self-sufficient and no longer dependent on Middle Eastern oil. However, there can be no denying that the oil boom, which later tapered, led to the rise of the Gulf countries, some of them very appropriately as trading and business development hubs. The flocking of the 7.5 million Indian diaspora to these countries began just after these developments. The Persian Gulf received a strategic boost out of proportion to its geostrategic location, which multiplied further during the disastrous Iran-Iraq war of the 80s and the two Gulf Wars.
India’s struggle: China and India's economic boost through the 90s and the early millennium was courtesy the dependence on Middle Eastern oil. That situation has hardly changed as both struggle with alternative energies; renewable resources such as solar and wind have not sufficiently made a dent, although steps are afoot. Electric surface transport resources are developing; electric air transportation seems yet afar.
Unless a comprehensive shift to alternate sources takes place, it is unlikely that the geopolitical and geostrategic importance of the Middle East can wane, the US independence in energy notwithstanding. Already, India is reeling under the weight of rising fuel prices with social, economic and political ramifications.
It all goes back to October 6, 1973 when Anwar Sadat decided to restore the self-esteem of the Egyptian armed forces and the nation. Today is the 45th anniversary of that event. | 2019-04-26T11:36:57Z | https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/comment/how-oil-crisis-began-multiplied-into-geopolitics/663807.html |
Keeping Food Dollars at Home. What’s Behind the Local Multiplier?
Intuitively, the benefit of spending food dollars locally is fairly obvious – right? More dollars circulating locally means greater support to local businesses for a healthier community economy. Simple enough, but in explaining the local multiplier to local food advocates and policy-makers, things can get complicated fast.

Can Big Food Be Local Food?
So can local be big? Before I answer that question, it might be a good idea to revisit what we mean by local. Some good food policy advocates (including me) are substituting the term “community-based” for “local” to signify that local food systems are based on relationships rooted in place.

In The Right Price for Good Food – Part 1, I proposed that the right price for good food depends on whom you’re asking, which may possibly explain why discussions around food prices are so lively. In The Right Price for Good Food – Part 2, I looked at the issue from the farmer’s perspective; today I examine it from the consumer’s perspective.
Most people who care about good food are at least somewhat aware that the (mostly small) farms which grow good food scrape by financially while farm bill subsidies go to large commodity farms. In this second of three pieces on food prices, our local food systems economist, Viki Sonntag, explores how these subsidies shape market prices and in turn our product choices.
Whether the price is right depends on whom you’re asking, which may possibly explain why discussions around food prices are so lively. It’s almost gotten to the point that we have a tug of war going on between food producers and consumers around what should dictate price, especially now that prices are rising.
Are Food Hubs the Next Big Thing?
The need for aggregating and marketing services is especially great with new and transition farmers. New farmers are challenged to learn the business side of farming while dealing with setting up farm systems. Mid-sized farmers who would like to transition to local markets deal in greater volumes than are typical of direct sales markets. Food hubs can serve these needs.

When a new food experience takes off in a neighboring city, capturing the fancy of foodies, city planners and researchers alike, we might well ask – why there and not here? Such is the case with Portland’s food carts, the new standard for cultural creativity and entrepreneur-driven economic development.
How fundamental is choice to growing a sustainable food economy? In fact, fewer product choices make local alternatives to industrial production viable. Choice at one level of a system might result in less choice at other levels.
How many great ideas for starting or expanding small community-based food businesses have gone languishing for lack of access to capital – even relatively small amounts? One of the frustrations in growing our regional food economies has been the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules preventing most Americans (all but the richest 2%) from investing in small, local enterprises.
Unless a business can afford $50,000 to $100,000 (or more) to spend on lawyers to prepare private placement memoranda or public offerings, it is effectively prohibited from soliciting funds from private investors in return for a stake in the business. Yet, often it is a budding entrepreneur’s friends, family and community who would love to pitch in to help launch a local company.
With the pressure on to create employment in a faltering economy, local food systems are drawing interest as a possible source of green jobs. But just how many is still a guess. A recent study for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture by a University of Iowa economist takes a stab at estimating the economic value and employment impact of increasing fruit and vegetable production to satisfy local demand in the six Midwest states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. | 2019-04-23T00:23:52Z | http://www.goodfoodworld.com/author/viki/ |
Veteran is Subculture DIY-Punk Production’s first filming attempt.
This film was shot completely on a full HD dslr photographic camera, using self-made, non-professional, additional equipment. By filming every sequence under the existing light conditions (natural or not) as also by sound-recording on the camera’s on-board microphone, we tried to emphasize on the overall picture as also to keep the project’s experimental touch. In any case, this is a no-budget production. | 2019-04-24T22:25:30Z | https://www.cinema5d.com/videolog/veteran/ |
I suggest to create a Smart TV activity for your harmony remote.
The Smart TV activity will automatically launch the Smart TV home page and allow you to navigate your apps.
Below are some links that will help you further customize your harmony remote to your liking.
What I did was was the previous poster mentioned, create a activity based upon what you want.
However you can also easily assign the HOME button command of the Sony TV to almost any button on the remote you want. If I were to utilize something like that then I'd just assign/create a button the the touch screen for the HOME button of the Sony TV. You can add this to every activity screen you want if thats what you want.
In my opinion, I'd just create a Activity. | 2019-04-22T12:33:57Z | http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/rc-harmony/thread.cgi?8190,new |

Wow! I'll take the first movie for sure. Seems like Disney is dipping its toes into the Warner Bros. Archive Blu-ray water. I encourage more! Maybe this is the way we'll see the release of second-tier Disney live-action films come to high def. Too bad it's limited to release through the Movie Club, although I can see that as a powerful means of recruiting new members.
Maybe, just maybe, we'll see a release of Light In The Forest which never even saw a standard DVD release.
Great to see them finally release some of their live action films and finally not in full screen. Although I think Apple Dumpling Gang was 1.75:1 on DVD. Good thing I plan on joining soon.
Now if we could just get Swiss Family Robinson (1960) and both versions of The Parent Trap (1961 and 1998).
I'm in for The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975).
LeoA, AnthonyClarke and MarkA like this.
This is a promising turn of events. Seems like Disney's equivalent to Warner Archive Blu-rays.
NOW I have a reason to really want to join.
My only issue is I currently own everything that I want from Disney, so I will have to wait a while and not buy some films until they show up as options while joining.
Thanks for the link, Darby! It says "Classroom Edition DVD" ... does that mean it's been edited or altered in any way?
The strange thing about this release is that the film itself has a listed runtime of 83 minutes, while the classroom edition DVD has a listed runtime of 90 minutes. Even stranger is that the classroom edition is missing the song and introductory section at the beginning of the film (the theme song playing with beautiful shots of the forest) that is present in the VHS version.
I do hope that both versions of The Parent Trap do NOT make it to a Disney Movie Club schedule.
They deserve normal wide release, which would mean they'd be open to ALL buyers, US and international.
I'm going to wait until they show up on the used market. It would be nice if The Apple Dumpling Gang kept its DVD features; The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes had none to lose to begin with.
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes is an odd choice for this release. I wish the Apple Dumpling had its sequel.
LOVE The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.
Never saw The Apple Dumpling Gang.
Will probably order both from the movie club to fulfill my obligation.
I'm in full agreement with you regarding a normal wide release. That being said, the best chance of The Parent Trap movies getting a (proper) Blu release would be thru Disney Movie Club. I'll take em any way they come, within reasonable pricing ranges of course.
I see Anthony you are outside the U.S. and would probably need a little help getting a DMC release shipped to you. I'm not certain on what DMC's rules are on shipping overseas but if you need some help in this regard, I'm sure folks here would lend a hand in getting a DMC shipment to you. I'll volunteer to help but I might not be much help as I'm not home in Florida as much as I would like to be.
one purchase towards my commitment.
Hate buying movies through the club that don't count towards my obligations.
I know the feeling. Just completed my DMC obligation and not a moment too soon budget-wise. Of course now I have to budget in (down the road) funds for this purchase. I've already committed future funds to purchase some TT offerings, especially when The Blob 88 and Audrey Rose are released for pre-order.
At least DMC's prices are competitive with Wal-Mart but I wish DMC had a free shipping option like Amazon. You do save ordering thru DMC (if you do it right) but with the shipping, not by much. My last package option only saved about $3 over what I would have paid to Wal-Mart for the titles (Muppets Most Wanted Feature of the Month package with a couple Disney catalog titles (one Blu, one DVD) thrown in).
LOVE The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.Never saw The Apple Dumpling Gang.Will probably order both from the movie club to fulfill my obligation.
If they start releasing Blu-rays of their live product on a schedule, I will certainly join.
"Doing it right" entails taking advantage of their special deals to get free shipping. Sometimes free shipping is part of the regular deal, other times you have to buy the double feature selection-of-the-month to get free shipping. However you do it, you have to buy titles in bulk to get good deals. Buying a couple at a time won't save you anything.
Yeah, we can dream, can't we? I am sure this is a way for Disney to test the waters before taking a more serious plunge, so I hope there are many hundreds of club members who want these two titles. But it would be a decent venue in which to buy some of the films they don't think will sell as regular releases, such as THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN (if ever a DVD needed upgrading, it's that), IN SEARCH OF THE CASTAWAYS (although one would think Hayley Mills alone would guarantee a lot of units sold), SNOWBALL EXPRESS (a favorite Disney comedy of mine) and scores of others that desperately need anamorphic Blu-ray release. Fingers crossed. | 2019-04-19T22:35:17Z | https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/the-official-disney-movie-club-blu-ray-exclusives-thread.333765/ |

The first government sukuk was listed on the London Stock Exchange yesterday as Britain reaffirmed its reputation as the main western centre for Islamic finance.
Britain has led the way as a western centre for Islamic finance with government reforms designed to help level the playing field for fund-raising in the wholesale markets and moves to encourage Muslim home-owners to buy Shariacompliant mortgages.
Ministers are also considering launching a UK government sukuk , which would be the first western sovereign Islamic bond. | 2019-04-22T17:03:13Z | http://www.global-islamic-finance.com/2008/03/first-sovereign-islamic-bond-listed-in.html |
STAMFORD -- A group of nearly 50 Westover residents has petitioned against a proposed single-family development near Mianus River Park, saying they have environmental concerns about the project.
The new home would occupy a roughly one-acre lot abutting the Mianus River off Highline Trail. Neighbors say the proposed construction threatens to worsen erosion on the riverbank, causing runoff to public drinking supplies downstream. In addition, residents said they are concerned about the home's septic system, which would be within 100 feet of the river, an area regulated by the city Environmental Protection Board.
Part of the issue stems from the fact that the home would be located on a steep incline, necessitating the removal of trees and the installation of a retaining wall on the property, the neighbors said.
"It's awful close to the river and that river is drinking water supply for the town of Greenwich," Highline Trail homeowner Budd Tunick said. "And we're afraid that the runoff, the possibility of cutting down anywhere from 40 to 120 trees on a very steep slope, is going to compromise the soil there."
Hoping to halt the project, 47 neighbors filed a petition for a public hearing with the EPB. The board granted the request, with a hearing scheduled for Thursday evening.
Environmental Analyst Pamela Fausty, a staff member for the EPB, said although the home would not sit within the 100-foot "buffer" zone, parts of the development do encroach on regulated areas, including portions of the septic system and retaining wall, which are about 60 feet from the river. The land is owned by the Judith R. George Trust.
The project's surveyor, Rocco V. D'Andrea Inc., referred questions to the firm's lawyer, Joseph Capalbo, who did not return a call by press time Wednesday.
Diane Lauricella, an environmental consultant who is working with neighbors, said the land should be protected because of its close proximity to Mianus River Park, which lies both across the river and to the south; and to the Treetops Estate, a 105-acre parcel owned by the state Department of Environmental Protection and maintained by the Stamford Land Conservation Trust and Greenwich Land Trust.
The property also contains a hiking trail along the riverbank that connects parts of Mianus River Park, she said.
"This is part of a wildlife corridor up the east side of the Mianus River," Lauricella said. "This has already been deemed a very special natural resource area. It is contiguous with Mianus River Park."
"It really has a lot to do with the quality of life, the need to not harm the drinking water supply and preserving the open space ecosystem," Lauricella added.
Lauricella said nearby homeowners hope to convince the site's owner to donate the land as open space rather than develop the property, a move that would entitle the owner to a tax benefit.
Marina Shrady, who lives next to the lot where the home is proposed, said she was assured when she bought the property the land would never be developed. She said she has walked her dog along the river for more than 10 years, and has already noticed problems with erosion in the area, which she fears will worsen if construction is allowed to move forward.
"Every time I take walks down there, there is another tree down because of the banks being eroded," Shrady said. "I just feel that it will weaken the whole system here." | 2019-04-21T06:35:50Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/local/article/Neighbors-oppose-proposed-home-on-Mianus-River-680340.php |

More than 31 million Americans suffer from arthritis. There are two main types of arthritis: rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis (OA), also referred to as arthritis of the bones, is primarily found among the elderly. This type of arthritis affects the joints, and occurs when the protective layer(s) of cartilage wear down, leaving the bones to rub directly against each other. OA can also occur as a result of obesity. As with any kind of arthritis, OA can be an extremely painful and debilitating condition that presents challenges for pain management. There is no known cure for osteoarthritis, but patients are able to treat some of the major symptoms, such as inflammation and pain, which can help to reduce stiffness and restore mobility. Research shows cannabis to be a viable treatment option for OA sufferers.
During the 19th century, cannabis tinctures were common on pharmacy shelves throughout North America and administered as a pain killer – often for arthritis. There are a couple of cannabinoids found in cannabis that have especially profound efficacy for those with arthritis: CBD and THC. Not only do these cannabinoids provide an analgesic effect but they have also been shown to have powerful immune-modulation and anti-inflammatory properties.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the most abundant cannabinoid occurring in cannabis, produces strong pain and inflammation relieving effects. It is the same psychoactive component known to produce the feeling of being “high.” THC also contributes to a patient’s positive mental state, and can help to stimulate the appetite.
Like THC, cannabidiol (CBD) reduces pain and inflammation. Unlike THC, it is non-psychoactive, so patients are able to remain clear-headed and alert. CBD also produces comforting, calming effects in patients that is known to relieve the stress and anxiety that can be associated with severe pain.
Cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabidiol-acid (CBDA) also reduce inflammation. Cannabinol (CBN) relieves pain and inflammation, while also promoting sleep. CBN is a strong sedative, and may not be ideal for daytime consumption.
Modern research on CBD has found that it suppresses the immune response in mice and rats that is responsible for a disease resembling arthritis, protecting them from severe damage to their joints and significantly improving their condition. Cannabis has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to improve mobility and reduce morning stiffness and inflammation.
A study from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem found that when CBD is metabolized, one result is the creation of a compound with potent anti-inflammatory action comparable to pharmaceutical drugs but without the common side effects associated with such traditional medications.
A study released in 2011 from the scientific journal for Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics found that the combination of cannabis with opiates may have a synergistic effect. When patients received regular doses of cannabis along with their twice-daily doses of prescribed opioids, on average participants reported a 27 percent greater decrease in pain.
An article published in the AMA Journal of Ethics analyzed several of the studies available. The Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) at the University of California complete five placebo-controlled phase II clinical trials with cannabis. Another study reported from Canada studied patients with HIV neuropathy and other neuropathic conditions, and one study focused on a human model of neuropathic pain. Overall, the efficacy of cannabis was comparable to that of traditional medications prescribed for neuropathic pain. The article concluded that there is increasing evidence that cannabis may represent a useful alternative or adjunct in the management of painful peripheral neuropathy. | 2019-04-19T15:17:15Z | http://www.sincitycultivation.com/medical-conditions/osteoarthritis |

Watch a sneak peek of Dumbo featuring a new version of “Baby Mine” recorded by Arcade Fire and see the film in theaters March 29.
I gotta say dumbo looks great I can’t wait for this movie.
Cant wait for Toy Story 4.
I'll be honest, I liked the version by Aurora better.
why are so many people saying "if they change anything it'll be ruined"
What??? Where's AURORA?? I want AURORA singing this song not a band !
As much as I hate how Dumbo looks, at least Tim Burton goes to a different direction. It's not trying to mimic the original like Lion King and Aladdin are doing. So uh... good job maybe? Please just make more original movies.
When is the full audio of this song going to be released?
Aww the scene with Mrs jumbo looks like it will be adorable.
E.G. Daily should of sang Baby Mine for the Dumbo remake. She was in Tim Burton’s first movie, Pee-Wes’s Big Adventure.
I will give it credit for getting arcade fire to sing baby mine. Otherwise, I give a big NO to anymore live action Disney remakes.
Aurora was going to do this version tho?
Universal Studios already did that back in 2003.
Wish Lana Del Rey sang the song instead, gives it more of a Tim Burton mystique.
Regardless of what you think about Disney's live action remakes, I think we can all agree that it's better than their old trend of making sub-par direct to video sequels back in the 2000s.
films looks great but who agreed to Arcade Fire's poor cover? ugh.. sorry Tim someone pulled the wool over your eyes if you signed them up.
Movie looks good, song sounds terrible sung this way.
I have a feeling I’m going to like Eva Green’s character a lot.
I think it was soposed to be a PG movie for adults sorry kids it is like Toy Story 4. This movie is for 20 years and older. More like 18 years because it was soposed to be Rated R like Toy Story 4 because Toy Story 4 was made thanks to Pixar. But we are getting a Disney vs Pixar crossover with Dumbo and Wall-e.
OK, DUMBO TRILOGY, OK! WE GET IT!!
VA Vandemere is the real villian.
I seen a needle that winked it's eye!
when I see an elephant fly!!!"
Well, well, where is my AURORA's song?
"Baby mine, don't you cry."
What about the fourth Toy Story 4 trailer.
WELLLLLLLL THEY ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS SO I WILL GO SEE THIS BUT.... every live action disney movie has been an abomination and alladin looks no worse. somehow this looks good, yet i hold extreme reservations. the mary poppins returns trailer brought me to tears when they went into the 2D animation, I thought it was going to be a masterpiece. I have yet to see Hamilton so I don't know who this phoney imposter Lin Manuel Miranda is supposed to be, but when I saw Mary Poppins Returns in theatres that has to be the #1 WORST DISNEY MOVIE OF ALL TIME. I'm not including made for TV movies or straight to video sequels, but theatrical films. What an abomination that was. You know Mary Poppins is a masterpiece and one of Walt's proudest moments as a filmmaker and that's what you turn in. WORST MOVIE EVER. EVER. I don't even know where to begin. DISNEY HAS LOST IT THIS DECADE. They were on INCREDIBLE FIRE in the early 90's and THE ENTIRE 00's thanks to Pixar making a masterpiece every year. They've gone cruddy too, not as cruddy, but some of their stuff just isn't on that masterpiece level like it used to be.... I will see this and I hope it will be a masterpiece but honestly Disney, please FIRE EVERYONE. FIRE THEM ALL. GET THEM ALL OUT OF THERE. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! I'M A DISNEY FREAK AND I HATE THIS DECADE!!! FROZEN IS OVERRATED AS F!!!!!! Beauty and the Beast was TERRIBLE. This actually looks good but who knows!
I hate that animals are used for entertainment. Don't y'all agreed?
Calling it now, this will be better than Aladdin.
you think Aladdin is going to be bad?
but Dumbo? nobody will remenber this remake after one month.
The same thing will apply to the Lion King remake as well.
Please release the version from the first teaser that was released.
That's for the body of the film. Arcade Fire did a full version for the closing credits.
Body of the film. AF's is for the closing credits.
Okay but what about the Aurora version of Baby Mine?? Explain! Explain, Disney!!!
+craigpei that's fine. I just wish they'd release it already on Spotify. It's nowhere to be found.
That version is in the body of the film. Arcade Fire's is for the closing credits.
Ummm....is it about Dumbo? I'm really confused how this is about a flying baby elephant.
Even though This looks better than Aladdin, I feel skeptical about this. First of all, They released another trailer for this movie when they could have released a Teaser for something that hasn't gotten one yet. Second, Will Timothy mouse be apart of the Pink elephant scene with Dumbo or will the family be part of it with Dumbo instead? Third, They are probably revealing the whole remake.
Why is there a designated bad guy in this movie? There doesn't need to be one!! The same can be said for Mary Poppins returns and that film had a bad guy and a car chase!! Mary Poppins doesn't need a villain or a car chase...the same can and will be said for Dumbo!
Is there going to be a bunch of black birds singing.
But what about AURORA's version?!!!
+Dani Elias can't give you a 100% that it's Aurora doing the song in the body of the film-- I just know that Arcade Fire's version is only for the closing credits and someone else is doing the song in the main part of the film. I work for Régine Chassagne's (Arcade Fire's woman vocalist) Haitian foundation KANPE so am up on what AF is doing.
In the body of the film. AF's is for closing credits.
+Sunrise Alex I just read an article that said in the movie, Colin Farrel plays a veteran who lost an arm in WWI and who's wife died while he was gone.
+Sunrise Alex yes, but you can have a finale scene and also just have one arm. He just happens to have one arm. He probably lost in a war or something. Michael Keaton isn't going to chop his arm off in some epic battle scene or anything.
+Mauricio Borbon but notice that he had one arm in the scene where he climb up using a rope while the circus burns. That does sound like a finale of the movie.
Why is everyone in the comments talking about the movie and not the fact that we get a new Arcade Fire song??????
This version of "Baby Mine" is way better than the one done by Aurora. Also, it sounds more like the version from the original movie.
+Mauricio Borbon I noticed that it's also a duet.
Disagree. Arcade Fire singing this is such a wrong fit. Some dudes voice singing from the point of an elephant mother? Why.
+Arthur Deaville True, but it sounds a little creepy too.
Tim Burton's Dumbo is kind of dark like Toy Story 4.
Who will voice Mr Potato Head from Toy Story 4?
You know, that looks pretty good.
The story looks like garbage. Let’s face it Dumbo will be a side character.
"We get to soar on that elephants wings! Come with me to Dreamland!"
Just hearing that is like he's telling us to come with him for the emotional ride that we're gonna have. Michael Keaton you're still gonna be one of the reasons this film will be a success.
After seeing what I've watched and how V. A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton) acts here, I'm getting this vision that Dumbo will step up and face him and perhaps fight him in order to show what outcasts can do even if they don't fit in with others. But then again, that Vandevere looks to be the bad guy here, I have a feeling that after Dumbo defeats him, he may changed his ways and learn his wrong doings and be a good guy. This is just rough idea to what I think we might see but then again we have to wait just a few more weeks until March 29 for all the answers and hopes and expectations that we've been waiting for 5 years.
am I the only one annoyed by those 1frame credits?
Baby mine is already the saddest Disney song, now you've got Arcade fire behind It?!?
what's happen with aurora version??
Main body of the film. AF's is for the closing credits.
Hire Jack Nicholson who played Joker in Tim Burton's Batman to play the animal control officer still be called Jack the animal control officer in Dumbo 2. Milly will go by herself in New York City in Dumbo 2 with Dumbo talking.
No idea who Arcade Fire is. But the movie looks good.
+Queensquirrl Canadian Grammys. AF are Indie rock, although they do get airplay across the board.
Hugely successful indie band originally from Montréal. Grammy Best album, bunch of Junos, Five #1 albums. Soundtrack music as well for Hunger Games, Her, Six Feet Under, and others. Band has raised several million dollars for Haitian foundation KANPE, which Régine Chassagne founded and puts a TON of work into along with husband Win. | 2019-04-18T22:21:23Z | https://it-clip.net/video/MdTUmV1FEYk/dumbo-arcade-fire-baby-mine-reveal.html |

The Memorial residence – part of Paton College on the St. John’s campus – is in the midst of extensive renovations. The result will be a new modern home for students and a much more efficient building for the university.

Barnes House will be equipped with brand new plumbing and heating systems, a new air-circulation system, all new flooring and furniture, and new bathrooms including walls, floors and all fixtures. The residences will also be painted throughout, hard wired for high-speed Internet access to all desktops, and cable television will be installed in all rooms.
There will also be individual room controls for the new electric heating system.
Students set to move into Barnes will temporarily move into the Holiday Inn, located in the east end of the city and a short bus ride from the university’s main campus.
Officials hope to have the renovations completed as soon as possible, allowing students to permanently move into residence.
Free busing will be provided for students to and from the hotel to Memorial’s dining hall. As well, a proctor, resident assistances and an academic don will be living with the students at the Holiday Inn, which provides free high speed Internet to all the rooms.
Meanwhile, space for house meetings will be available in Hatcher House for those affected by the temporary move.
The Barnes House renovations come as ground work is being prepared for the construction of a new residence on Memorial’s St. John’s campus. | 2019-04-21T16:59:35Z | http://www.mun.ca/gazette/issues/vol41no2/barnes.php |
When Marc moved to Panama City Beach (PCB) in 2005, he had never even visited the area. His wife of 20 years, Susan, had an opportunity in property management so, the family moved to PCB. Susan is still in property management. She manages multiple properties including the VA Outpatient Clinic West, Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Soon thereafter, Marc was hired as a network administrator for Comcast. Eventually, Comcast consolidated locations and closed the Panama City Call Center, eliminating all positions. The next day Marc was offered a position as Computer Operations Manager at Bookit.com and then into a Network Administrator role. During that time, he designed and managed the call center’s VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) Phone system, Email and server room for the site containing more than 35 different servers. After some larger enterprise projects, such as virtualizing all those servers into one, Marc decided he wanted to work with property, investments and people.
“I love living in Panama City Beach. I guess I have always been an ambassador — even before I joined the great Panama City Beach Chamber Ambassadors group”. Every person I have a conversation with, I try to get them to visit and move here. I live in Palmetto Trace across from Pier Park. I love the free summer concerts in Aaron Bessant Park and the fact I can just drive my golf cart not just there but also through Frank Brown Park and all the surrounding shopping centers. The best yet is getting to the beach!
Marc was also Operations Manager for TropicPC Property Management. Marc worked with Susan, his wife, and gained valuable experience helping to oversee the buildouts of complex government facilities. He also enjoyed managing building systems, from HVAC controls to surveillance. The Ambassador feeling was always there, being very personable, he decided that real estate was where he needed to be.
Marc joined Anchor Realty Florida and it looks like it was the right decision; Marc had his first deal under contract in his first week. Anchor Realty Florida operates on the coast from St. George Island to Ft Walton; thus, placing Marc directly in the center where he needs to be. He has taken to the marketing and meeting people in unique ways.
With his unique skillset and abilities, Marc has already proven himself a significant asset to the Anchor Team.
If you look Marc up on Facebook, you will see he is a very busy man. He has an even bigger following on LinkedIn. | 2019-04-20T08:28:32Z | https://www.anchorfl.com/staff/marc-levesque/ |

First and foremost, I want to thank ALL of you who entered my giveaway! I loved reading your confessions and your comments and I was just so excited to pick a winner! And a very special congratulations to Linda! You won my giveaway! Yay! (Maybe this will help with your Christmas cheer!) Linda, if you could email me with your mailing address, I’ll get these prizes mailed out in a week or two.
I don’t have much to say today. My weekend was spent shopping for those last-minute gifts, wrapping presents, watching cheesy Christmas movies, and icing Christmas cookies with my favorite little boy.
Today, I am planning on taking it easy but also baking up a storm (chocolate chip cookies and peppermint bark brownies, anyone?) for our Christmas celebration with my family tomorrow while watching beloved Christmas movies. I’m also attending a candlelight Christmas Eve service at my church and then experiencing that magical excitement Christmas Eve night brings as I try to fall asleep. So much excitement!
I hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas with your family and I will be back later this week for my usual end-of-the-year wrap-up posts!
I have never been a huge fan of the Otterbox cases because they seem so big and clunky. I like sleek cases, where I can easily slip my iPhone in my back pocket and go. But then I started dropping my phone. A lot. In parking lots. On cement. On the running path. My current case, that I’ve had for a few months, is battered and parts of it have chipped off because I’ve dropped it so many times. It’s time to realize I am too clumsy to not have a more protective case for my phone. Especially since I don’t have insurance on it so if it shatters, I am so screwed.
I have succumbed. I want a pair of TOMS. Am I turning into a hipster? Perhaps, but I just want these shoes. I have been told they are super, super comfy and I am nothing but all about comfort. I just want to try some out and see for myself!
Do I need a new Kindle? No. I have the Kindle Touch, got it for Christmas last year, and it’s perfectly fine. (Except for some minor scratches.) But then I saw that Kindle released a new version. The Paperwhite. With new fonts and a built-in light for nighttime reading. And I just have to have it.
I hate chopping vegetables. It’s one of the worst parts of cooking for me and why I usually opt for the easier (read: not as healthy) meals because my hatred runs that deep. So the easiest solution to this? Get a damn chopper, Steph! It does the work for me and I can stop shying away from all those healthy dishes that require so much veggie chopping prep work. A win-win!
100% of my bags and accessories come from Vera Bradley. My obsession with this store knows no real limits. I have an all-in-one wristlet currently that I have used throughout the year and it’s just about my favorite thing ever because it fits all I need. All my cards and money, a place for my license to be easily accessed, and a slot for my iPhone to fit easily. The chain even lets me hang my keys off it so I don’t have to lug a purse everywhere I go. The one I have now is getting dirty and old, so a fresh new one in a new design would make me very happy!
Don’t forget to enter my holiday giveaway – some wonderful holiday goodies from me to you!
Every year, I like to spend the week leading up to Christmas in full-time holiday mode on my blog. I originally began this because of Nora back in 2010 and this will be my third year doing this! I’m excited for all the posts I have planned for this upcoming week but I am the most excited about today’s post because after weeks and weeks of preparation, it’s finally here: my holiday giveaway!
Over the past few weeks, I have spent my time mulling over ideas for what to put in this giveaway. After an entire year of listening to me jabber on and on about anything and everything, I wanted to do something special for those of you who are still here and supporting me. This blog is easily one of my favorite hobbies and I enjoy the relationships that have formed because of it. Because of the support and advice I have gotten, I have found new interests, new ideas, and have pushed myself out of my comfort zone more and more.
This giveaway isn’t sponsored by any company. I spent my own time and money to put this together and I don’t say that to toot my own horn, but to say that these are things I would want in a giveaway myself and every single item was lovingly selected with YOU in mind.
Sounds like something you want to win? I hope so! The way to enter is easy: just leave a comment on this post with your one holiday confession. Make it good! I will choose a winner by random drawing and announce it on Christmas Eve.
This giveaway will remain open until Sunday, December 23rd at 11:59pm EST. Winner will be announced on Monday, December 24th.
*Eisley necklace provided by Kerri of Your Wishcake for the purposes of this giveaway. She is a true gem.
Sooooo… I have a bit of an obsession with Christmas-themed gel window clings, as referenced by the above photo.
Yes, those are my sliding glass doors.
The obsession started about two years ago when I bought my first window clings at Target. From there, I started picking up little packets every time I saw some that I loved. Wal-Mart. Bed, Bath, and Beyond. But mostly Target. The first year, there was just a lone snowman and a Santa with some snowflakes.
Now? I have candy canes and Christmas trees and penguins and presents and stockings and reindeer and gingerbread men. Christmas lights and more snowflakes than I know what to do with.
My mom has snowman and gingerbread ornaments. I have Christmas window clings. It’s definitely a process setting them up and taking them down every year but I love it. I love seeking out new clings, love setting up new scenes, love the look of them as I walk past my apartment. For some, they may seem tacky but for me, they are just another expression of the utter joy and glee that Christmas brings to me.
Do you have any obsessions when it comes to Christmastime? Spill in the comments!
2. Hot chocolate, egg nog, or mulled wine?
Hot chocolate for sure! Egg nog is way too sweet for my liking and I’ve never heard of mulled wine. Is it different than regular wine?
I like to put them up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I would put them up sooner if I could.
5. What’s your favorite Christmas tradition?
I love our tradition of waking up early to open Christmas presents. It’s a pretty ordinary one but I love the anticipation Christmas Eve brings! Also, stockings. My mom fills them so full, they have to lay on their side on the table or propped up against presents under the tree. And they are always filled with such goodies!
Never. And I don’t think I ever want to. Not my thing!
No, actually, I was in second grade, so around seven/eight. I had suspected but was laughed at by my “friends” when I said I still believed. Kids are cruel.
The presents? I’ll admit it: I’m really looking forward to what’s under the tree for me! I love giving gifts but come on, receiving is pretty sweet as well. I can’t wait to see what others think of the gifts I gave them, as well! I tried hard this year and I think I did a pretty good job picking out presents.
Other than a Kindle Touch, a new bedspread, or a new some of those delicious Snickers nutcrackers? I would like for my dad to call me and want to restore our relationship. That? That would make this Christmas the best one ever. That would be the best gift anyone could ever give me.
*Only a quote from the best Christmas movie ever. Yes. Ever.
Last year, I completed my first Holiday Week on my blog. I got the idea from Nora. A week of holiday posts, writing about whatever your heart desires. Beginning my second year with a list of memories from Christmas’s past that fill me with utter joy and glee whenever I reminisce about them.
> Staying up an entire Christmas Eve night/Christmas morning with my brother when we were in middle school. I ended up falling asleep at 10:00am the next morning, but we were so proud of ourselves because we had tried to do this for so many years. The key was to watch loud, action movies. They kept us awake and our minds busy.
> Waking up one Christmas morning to seeing two bikes parked in the kitchen/dining room by our sliding glass doors. Mine was pink with pretty sparkly streamers. I can still remember how surprised and excited I was to see my bike.
> Finding a mysterious large box in my walk-in closet that my brother and I grilled my mom about all throughout December. She insisted it was a gift for my cousin my uncle had asked her to keep. Turns out? It was our very first computer. Best gift ever.
> The anticipation of counting down to Christmas, whether it be in my classroom (we usually made paper links) or with a Christmas countdown at home. Getting to the single-digit days were exciting.
> Dressing up the Christmas tree with mismatched ornaments, many created by my brother and me.
> Creating the most hideous Christmas cookies with as much frosting, sprinkles, and M&M’s as we could.
> Being given the “Toys R Us” catalog and circling all the toys I wanted.
> Waking up on Christmas morning to see the cookies and milk my brother and I left for Santa gone, and a letter written by him in its place.
> Candlelight services at church. They never fail to fill me with Christmas spirit and remind me of the real reason this time is so special.
> Making my first gingerbread house, even if it was put together wrong and a wall began caving in minutes after I finished decorating it.

eternal rest grant unto them oh lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Is Your Employer Committed to Active Commuting?
Posted June 21, 2016 by The Rapid & filed under In The Community.
Active commuting isn’t just good for your health; it’s also good for the community and the environment. This is why so many local organizations are committed to the health and wellness of their employees, as well as their customers.
We want to celebrate the many fantastic local organizations who have teams participating in the Active Commute Week Challenge! There are currently 34 organizations signed up including Steelcase, Catalyst Partners, Fulton Street Farmers Market, Brewery Vivant and more! We reached out to a few organizations involved in Active Commute Week to learn more about why they’re participating in this year’s event.

Window curtain design – Depending on fabric, color, texture and patterns, curtains can serve as the focus of a room. Correct curtains can also help fix an architectural error, such as a strangely placed window. Considering some unusual architectural features in the room, in addition to following basic design principles can result in simple curtain panels.
Determine a color scheme. To pick a fabric color, evaluate the room where the window curtain design will hang. Using a fabric of the same color as a bold accent color available throughout the room can create a dramatic focal point. while choosing a neutral color can be blended with the wall and soften the background, according to “Threads Magazine.” Focus on personal style. Design curtains reflect personal taste, while being compatible with architecture and period of the house.
Consider the atmosphere in the room. The type of fabric can emphasize the overall mood. Linen, denim or cotton curtains give a relaxed mood, while silk creates an elegant feel. Determine the length of the curtains. Window curtain design can be hung directly above a window or can extend from the ceiling to the floor if the room is formal. Measure from curtain rod to where the curtains will hit the floor and add 18 inches to determine the length of each panel. Measure a half to three times the actual width of the window to determine the width of the curtain fabric. | 2019-04-23T18:31:32Z | https://donostiknit.com/ideas-window-curtain-design/ |
Just spent the last few days with my boy Jimmy from Grand Scheme polishing the finishing touches on some artwork created for the Picture Lounge Bar and Dining on the Gold Coast Australia. Alexa Nice provided the creative direction and she’s done a baaaaaaangin job. Here’s some pics of some mural elements.
I have to say though… 12 hour days standing on step ladders with paint dripping down my arm followed by a long drove hone to Brisbane from the Gold Coast… sheeesh. Nice change from sitting in front of a computer screen creating logos though! All the hard work illustrating intricate patterns and designs with my neck on 30º Angle was totally worth it for this steak alone.
More killer robots. To be honest I can’t get enough of illustrating clunky robots attacking stuff. This was designed for Jugglers in Brisbane and installed at the QUT Student Guild Bar at the Gardens Point campus.
If you’re in Brissy and feeling like drinking alcohol amongst the illustrious illustrations of Myself, Mr S and Master Sofles then head down to the QUT bar and drown your sorrows as the world collapses around you.
By the way… Mr S and Sofles are out of control and absoluted burned. Learnt heaps from watching those guys. Check Sofles blog for more goodness. | 2019-04-20T17:14:22Z | http://www.metagraphics.com.au/category/concept/ |

eBay is purchasing payment startup Braintree for a whopping $800 million according to an announcement from earlier today. This acquisition is coming at a time where eBay is frantically trying to expand its current payment processor service PayPal in order for the service to stay as relevant as possible.
Even though eBay will technically own Braintree after the $800M acquisition goes through, Braintree will still operate as a separate entity for the foreseeable future. This means that current Braintree CEO Bill Ready will continue to manage daily operating at the company.
Braintree is a startup online and mobile payment processor and has already gained some major customer such as OpenTable, AirBNB, and Rovio.
Braintree’s service charges a 2.9 percent transaction fee to businesses along with a 30 cent per transaction fee. According to Braintree’s statistics, it will process more than $12 billion in transactions this year which should result in millions worth of profit.
eBay says that it does not expect to close the deal with Braintree until the end of 2013 therefore 2013’s earnings report should not be impacted significantly by the acquisition.
Shares in eBay did increase by about 50 cents during trading hours today as a result of the announcement. However, eBay does expect to lower their financial outlook for the next year as a result of the acquisition, granted the long term payoff should be well worth it. | 2019-04-18T11:09:00Z | https://www.tapscape.com/ebay-purchase-acquire-braintree/ |
Justin Gaethje accused the UFC of ESPN 2 commentators Paul Felder and Karyn Bryant for trying to steal his thunder after a knockout by Edson Barboza.
Felder and Bryant say they just do their jobs. The UFC lightweight and veteran analyst defended their interview by Gaethje during the ESPN + post-battle show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, which hosted the ESPN television event.
Felder, who respectfully requested a fight with Gaethje while standing next to him commenting desk, pointed out his overture was actually old news. In a post-match speech after a victory over James Vick, he said he would like to repackage Barboza or get off with Gaethje.
"If I didn't want to tell people I didn't have the ball to say it to his face," he wrote Twitter. "Now I do, and I did. He is a stud! And I will fight best."
19659003] In a follow-up interview with MMA Junkie, Felder said he was seeking his ESPN producer's opinion of mentioning himself as a potential opponent of Gaethje and receiving the progress. For him it was not just a logical question given their respective rankings, but a question of integrity.
"I feel that what I did was more respectful because I mentioned his name," Felder said. "His name has come out of my mouth when he is not around, so when he is there, it would be unprofessional and flawed for me not to say the same to his face as I had already said on camera with UFC & # 39 ;one." Felder does not fail Gaethje to believe he was trying to steal the limelight. But after receiving dozens of hateful messages on Twitter, he is tired of criticism that he sees wrong.
"I come where Justin comes from," he said. "It's just everyone else who needs to shut up (explosive). Justin is a fighter. He just knocked out an opponent – I might be like," Hey, let me have my moment. # 39; That's fine for him. I have no problem with being like: & # 39; They were trying to steal my moment. & # 39; Maybe we were a little carried away as it continued. But I just wanted to say, "I would love to fight with you. It's going to happen now or it's going to happen later." That's the part I can't see how it could be a big thing. "
Bryant, who pointed out Felder's immediate proximity to Gaethje in the UFC rankings, indicated her question of matchup being driven by ESPN.
"My favorite part is how people do not think we have leading manufacturers who lead the show and tell us what to talk about / ask … I'm just freestyle what I want at these shows! "Bryant wrote on Twitter .
Bryant was not immediately available for comment when contacted by MMA Junkie.
Gaethje's response to the questions was not the first time he was salted with media issues In the same interview he gave after his appearance on the UFC on ESPN 2 after the match show, he told MMA Junkie "You're doing it again" after being asked about the Felder matchup.
Earlier this week he was annoyed by headlines who came out of a pre-fight interview in which he expressed a desire to reschedule Dustin Poirier, and also acknowledged that such headlines were part of the agreement, but decided to stay closer to his intentions.
I his post-office criticized Gaethje UFC's official rankings, following him standing contender Donald Cerrone, so the introduction of a graphic showing him no. 8 lightweight in front of No. 9 Felder was not exactly welcomed. "19659003]" It is (at no. 8) because they continue to let me down after winning "said Gaethje.
Bryant replied, "You tell me that his spider arches and your fighting style would not do anything …"
"You like this guy, not you?" Gaethje continued. "Don't let him look up."
There was laughing around, and Gaethje continued to discuss his performance. But he also showed that he was not quite fond of discussing potential matches. He said the showdown with lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov would prove that he is the championship material.
Of course, Nurmagomedov's name is at the top of the list of light locations.

Mayor Bill De Blasio is once again pushing a plan to eliminate a single test as the basis for admission to New York City’s elite academic high schools. Such a plan has failed in the past because so many State Senators and Assembly people attended those high schools and remember them fondly. That may change this time around because more and more legislators were on the outside looking in and don’t understand why white and Asian students should get the overwhelming number of seats. It doesn’t seem equal or fair or just. Without taking sides on the dispute, but not leaving the issue to whether people do or do not remember their high school experience fondly, I would like to review the concepts that have been rolled out and help to restore them from being the cliches they have become in educational discourse to being legitimate terms of analysis.
First off, do the tests promote equality or its opposite? They promote equality in that each of the candidates for admission are being judged individually on the basis of this single performance. They are competing against one another rather than as a member of a category, whether that is race or religion or gender. In that sense, “equal” means “objective”. Only the test results count and any number of extraneous considerations, including whether a parent has attended the school or made a contribution or whether the child came from a poor family or not, are held to be of no account, all of that very long list of considerations ruled out except for the central one of intellectual aptitude. The problem with the test arises when it becomes recognized that one of these extraneous categories should not be neglected and is more important than the perhaps overvalued category of intellectual aptitude, quickness on tests not to be regarded as the only source of merit when diligence in studies or motivation shown in other ways may also be important. Why the tyranny of this test which pits one student against another and where students who do not test well suffer? This is, of course, a self-serving argument for non academic achievers because we don’t try to compensate for students who try out for sports who can’t deal with the pressure of competition. Maybe it is that there is nothing essential to identity in not becoming a basketball player, though I don’t know if that is the case for the subset of people who see themselves as athletes, but there is something essential to identity about being regarded as relatively dumb or smart and people shouldn’t be classified as the latter, just as girls should not be identified as ugly even if we (used to) identify pretty girls as being such.
Then there is the question of “fairness”, which means some balance has been struck in so that each side receives something of similar value in an exchange, never mind how one establishes the value of anything other than by the willingness of people to exchange it, Say’s Law that every item finds its price not having been repealed. What have competitors given up in exchange for doing well on the tests? Partly and maybe mostly it is just the exercise of natural talent, the admissions test being something like an I Q test, in which case the competitors are offering a display of their rare talents, just how rare they are being the quality tested. But there is also a measure of industriousness which is being traded for a good grade on the entrance exam. The Asian kids take cram courses to perfect their skills and there is no reason African-American and Hispanic kids couldn’t participate in school sponsored, no cost, cram courses. At my junior high school, back in the Fifties, a math teacher gave a once a week after school prep course for several weeks for all those interested in taking the test. But when I suggested to my college students (just about all white) that they could have improved their SAT scores by a hundred points or so simply by going through one of those booklets of old SAT exams in the week before the exam, they asked why anyone would want to spend more time on a test than they had to. Well, some do and some don’t, and it shows up in the results. Don’t blame the test for the cultural characteristics of test takers. You can’t make people learn if they don’t want to by making excuses about lack of resources. The reason middle schools don’t offer much math and science to prepare kids for the test is that the kids aren’t interested.
Which brings us to the question of justice, which usually means what person or group is going to suffer so as to make things better for another person or group. The murderer suffers so as to give closure to the aggrieved or to give solace to the state. DeBlasio’s Commissioner of Education put his view succinctly when he said that one ethnic group (by which he meant Asian-American students), don’t own the test high schools. No one ever claimed that they did. The test schools have done well by different groups of immigrants. In my time, they were overwhelmingly Jewish, with very few Italians or Irish. Nowadays, they are overwhelmingly Asian, with few African Americans or Hispanics. What getting rid of the test is designed to do is increase African-American and Hispanic enrollment even if that means a substantial decrease in the number of slots available for Asian Americans to compete for, which is a hardship and a disservice to the Asian American students. They bear the brunt of the pain for the imposition of justice. The new measures could be defended on their own merits. They do provide something the test does not: the inclusion of a school record even if the students who pass the new criteria are not as gifted as the people they displace. They may be better people, but displacement it surely is and, in fact, the new criteria are not defended as a superior set of procedures, as a more just way to evaluate candidates, but in terms of what they will accomplish. They are justified not as the basis for opportunities but on the basis of outcomes: who gets into the school, and so they are clearly discriminatory rather than indifferent to extraneous criteria for admission.
Consider the larger point, which is the function of these schools for young people and for the city and country as a whole. Defenders of the test schools argue that the teachers and the curricula of the test schools are not particularly outstanding. I can attest to that. The argument is that the schools bring together a lot of bright kids to educate one another and set standards for one another, and I can certainly attest to that. Students at the schools are very grade conscious and seem to walk around with their GPAs inked onto their foreheads. Maybe that is not a good way to be. It trails you for life, which is also what people say about how you did at Harvard Law School where it can take decades to get over where you stood in your class. The flip side is that these kids a the test high schools are not only bright but have among them more than their fair share of nerds. I remember that going to Bronx Science put me in touch with people like myself, somewhat awkward and gauche, but also possessed of what I thought were my somewhat peculiar interests in space travel and in American history, neither of which I could discuss with junior high school buddies. So Science was a kind of refuge for which we were all grateful in spite of the pressure to succeed we were under there which led to many a sleepless night and upset stomach and jealous feelings between friends. I never worked as hard or against more competition either in college or graduate school.
I have heard it argued that all the test high schools should simply be abolished. That would result in some number of gifted students being enrolled in a number of community hgh schools of the sort that persisted until the school reforms of the Seventies and the Eighties. That core of students could be the relatively autonomous group of conscientious students that could run the yearbook and the student government and take hard courses together and would have a leavening effect on the rest of the student body. But would it? Most American high schools are still dominated by their jocks and the special exam high schools were implemented so as to provide a different basis for excellence. Should there not be one place where the academically talented could flourish? And as for the leavening function, which says that passing in the halls will rub off the characteristics of the college prep kids onto the others, that is not likely to happen. We have for fifty years now tried to find ways of decreasing the gap between African-American and Hispanic as opposed to white and Asian achievement and we haven't found a way to do so unless you raise the annual expenditure per pupil to $50,000 a year, which is done in some private and philanthropically funded schools, where class sizes go down to ten. Harlem Children’s Zone, has extensive after class programs and pays social workers to intervene with families, but 87% of its budget is supplied by private donors. (The per pupil expenditure in New York State public schools is about $21,000, although that does not include the costs of buildings and real estate.) It has been suggested to me that a cheaper solution is expanding Teaching For America, which recruits Ivy League graduates to teach for two or three years rather than for a lifetime. That is a promising approach that does not require politically prohibitive expenditures, but teacher’s unions are against it because it sees teaching as only a temporary, age-graded, pre-career, rather than a lifetime employment. All in all, not having dealt with educational disparities due to race over the past fifty years is one of the great failures of liberal society, which was so successful with regard to health care and labor relations and old age and equal accommodations.
But there is an argument for diversity in the test high school model, though it is not often the subject of comment. When I got to college, I took a course in physics with a professor who would become world renowned. On the first day of class, a new acquaintance came up to me and said he was uncomfortable and distracted. He pointed to two girls from Barnard who were sitting in the back rows. I didn’t say “Get over it” though perhaps a more advanced consciousness might have. I was just amazed because I had been rubbing elbows and not much else with a number of very able young women throughout high school and so didn’t need to be taught that girls could be smart and imaginative and articulate. That has stayed with me all my life. I can’t say that in the present instance it is not the case that Asian girls come to understand their own powers and educate their male Asian peers about them in the same way that came so naturally in the earlier iteration. Coeducation in high school has always been one of its best features and I don’t want to see that sacrificed on the altar of racial quotas. Now it may be that African-American and Hispanic young women would profit from the same effect, but since the only thing we know that makes for such a quality pool of women is the present selection process, I don’t want to mess with that. Consider what you are getting rid of before you get rid of it. | 2019-04-20T02:37:56Z | https://www.wenglinskyreview.com/wenglinsky-review-a-journal-of-culture-politics/2018/6/16/nyc-test-high-schools |

Coastal rowing is the extreme version, the adventure side of rowing. It involves rowing along a sea coast and out into the sea and is one of the fastest growing communities of rowers. It is especially popular in Italy, France and Great Britain to name a few. It can be found in all corners of the world including the Maldives and many parts of Africa. Coastal rowing boats are also used inland on some lakes and rivers where the water tends not to be flat.
Rowing on rough water means that coastal rowing is quite different from the flat-water Olympic style of going in a straight line. Coastal rowers instead, often prefer rough water which adds a whole new dimension to the sport with many coastal rowers cherishing the exhilarating aspect of rowing in extreme conditions.
Coastal rowing is easier to learn than flat-water rowing, due partly to the stability and robustness of coastal rowing equipment which differs from the Olympic-style boats. The standard boats are singles (or solo), doubles and coxed quadruple sculls. But just knowing how to handle a coastal rowing boat is not sufficient to become a good coastal rower. Crews must be aware of tides and currents, learn about the course's topography and know what to do in the midst of maritime traffic and in case of bad weather.

Chris’s third solo album was released to great critical acclaim in 1988. It consists mainly of his own fresh and melodic compositions - some exhibiting his trademark virtuosity, some a touching lyricism - but also contains some traditional pieces, including the version of Scott Skinner’s Mathematician with which he’s been stunning live audiences for years!
Many of the tunes have been published in Chris's book, Adventures with a Flatpick. A must-have for any guitarist, it contains transcriptions (in normal notation & tablature) of Chris’s best-known pieces and some of his most-requested teaching material. His carefully-worked fingerings and cleverly-designed preparatory exercises bring this wonderful music within reach of the intermediate-level player for the first time and will be immensely illuminating for the more advanced player.
"Chris Newman has…produced a stylistically-varied and stunning bunch of tunes...In the company of long-time collaborator, harpist Máire Ní Chathasaigh and her sister, Nollaig Casey (incredible fiddler, but you knew that), he tackles many of own tunes and a couple of well-known ones. This lot ranges from flat-picked swing, through delicate airy picking and jolly mandolin to some ear-boggling, finger-tangling flat-picking on the challenging Scott Skinner medley. Having watched fiddlers struggle with Skinner's deliberately-difficult The Mathematician, it's a little depressing to hear Newman's apparently effortless guitar gallop through it, articulating each note with clarity and punch. In fact, this whole set's depressing - to hear someone play in as many different styles so well. Unusually for a largely self-penned set, this collection is heaving with good tunes - probably helped by Chris's own admission that he's not made a solo album since 1983, so there's 15 years of accumulated writing here! The UK has produced some staggering and influential acoustic guitarists in the past few decades - no sign of any let up here."
"The John Williams of folk guitar combines elements of Celtic, country and swing on his first solo album in 15 years - but it’s been well worth the wait.
"Chris Newman’s third solo album, his first since 1983, is a veritable feast of immaculate guitar playing. You’re picked up with a racy bluegrass opener and straight into a ragtime blues. Then, just as you think you’re in for fifty minutes of country folk, he unleashes The Riverside, a sweet track on classical guitar. Newman plays mandolin, piano and percussion, plus electric and fretless basses, as well as guitar, and is ably accompanied by long-time collaborator, Irish harpist Máire Ní Chathasaigh, who also adds whistle and piano, plus Nollaig Casey on fiddles. After only six tracks, it feels like an album full. Yet, there are seventeen slices of very rich guitar forest gateau to get through - a marvellous achievement. The moods change throughout, from the yearning and soulful Arctic Goose to the evocative Mediterranean-sounding Where’s the Bar? Newman adds detailed sleevenotes on all the tunes, almost all original compositions. Not a single word is uttered or sung throughout - a testament to Newman’s ability to make the guitar grab your attention and never let you go. A great album from a respected and revered folk guitarist."
"This is Fretwork, Chris Newman's new solo album, and the third one in a hopefully very long line. Here's hoping the next one doesn't take another 15 years to arrive.
"A neatly understated title! Chris Newman's first solo release since 1983 is, as anyone who has seen or heard him would expect, a dazzling display of guitar virtuosity. It's also a thoroughly tasteful and enjoyable varied affair, with Chris playing fingerstyle as well as the plectrum guitar for which he is better known, plus mandolin (accompanying himself from time to time on piano and bass). Chris's background in jazz and swing is evident in the pace and invention of his plectrum-work but, apart from in the breezy opening number and the title track - not in his choice of material. There's a Swedish Polska - Höök Olle Storpolska - two American reels (Tell Her Lies And Feed Her Candy and a gloriously ornamented Old Joe Clark), a set of Scott Skinner fiddle tunes (without a fiddle in evidence) - and the rest of the pieces are self-penned. Some pieces are almost classical in feel - aided at times by Nollaig Casey's multi-tracked violin. (Her sister, his regular musical partner, Máire Ní Chathasaigh, contributes occasional harp, piano and whistle). Elsewhere, Northumbrian, Scottish, Irish and American traditional influences are all apparent. The playing is, by turns, lively and reflective, energetic and expressive: the whole album is a delight."
"Most of the seventeen tracks are Chris's own compositions, consisting of variously employed flat and fingerpicked guitar, mandolin and electric or acoustic bass. Also appearing on some of the tracks are Máire Ní Chathasaigh (harp, piano and tin whistle) and Nollaig Casey (fiddle). The CD is full of wonderfully contrasting styles; from the very jazzy title track, Fretwork and Pass The Pick to the celtic-ish Astronomer's Gaze to the almost classical Mallard's Minuet. This is a recording of the highest quality, not just for the musicianship which is superb as might be expected, but also for the overall sense of freshness and drive which comes from the way in which the instruments have been arranged and mixed. It is also really nice to have details about keys and tunings in the sleeve notes. Even if I will never remotely be able to play any of it!"
"Chris Newman has always remained one of my favourite guitarists. Where many would fall down at the first hurdle in a sterile performance, Chris breathes life and not a little lightheartedness that is often lacking in a technical virtuoso performance. Here, he also displays a real talent for mandolin and his subtle use of non intrusive percussion gives just the right groove for the Bossa Nova influenced title track which also features the harp of Máire Ní Chathasaigh in truly animated form. A resounding arena of applause for one of Britain's finest guitarists."
"a dazzling display of guitar virtuosity"
"a stylistically-varied and stunning bunch of tunes"
as well as head and fingers"
"A veritable feast of immaculate guitar playing - a marvellous achievement... Makes the guitar grab your attention and never let you go. A great album from a respected and revered folk guitarist."
"Chris Newman is a player of the most impeccable taste and style... `(and) a truly inspired composer... Every guitarist should have this CD"
" his fretboard gymnastics leave me absolutely gob-smacked. He has a distinctive style that is so easily recognisable and when he plays you can hear that he makes every note count, singing with his guitar instead of his voice."
"You really should go out right now and buy this CD, go on, right now, go now!""

(During a survey conducted in the early 1900s, the area tied for the world's best climate). With this kind of weather, tourists and residents can take advantage of hiking and other outdoor opportunities in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Visitors can also enjoy wine tasting at local wineries. The Carolands Chateau, in Hillsborough, is a historic landmark worth seeing that epitomizes the architecture of the American Renaissance. When in the area check the schedule for the Cow Palace, an indoor arena in Daly City that hosts many events from concerts to rodeos to sports. There are plenty of other cultural and recreational amenities in the area, including museums, lighthouses, and parks.

Faulty wiring can amount to many different forms of claims and can be very complex. For example, if you are electrocuted and the electric current jolts your body backwards into an object which then causes further injury. Or perhaps if the jolt forces you off the side of a railing on a flight of stairs, in which case you may be able to claim further injury claims. Electrical wiring safety can be a very complex area of Personal Injury Law and it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Faulty electrical wiring can cause electric shock and electrocution. Electric shock can be experienced when a driller drills into a wall with incorrect wiring blueprints, or when an electrician put in the wiring incorrectly and you received shock by normal usage. Electrocution is when the electric shock is fatal. There are many circumstances where people may be able to claim compensation.
For more information, please visit our Defective Product Claims page.
If you have received an electric shock and as a result want to make a claim for faulty wiring, please get in contact with one of our specialists. At Bloomsbury Law, we appreciate that it may be difficult to discuss the recent event surrounding your injury. This is why we have an ethos of professional compassion. We will work with you and answer any questions you may have so you have a clear understanding of your claim. | 2019-04-26T12:58:36Z | http://bloomsbury-law.com/personal-injury/faulty-wiring/ |

Tassomai is an award winning piece of software that promotes students’ retention and understanding of the material covered in GCSE Science qualifications, through the continual retrieval of knowledge, which research studies have shown will promote long term memory (Efrat Furst, Impact – Sept 18).
The software sets daily sets of questions for students to complete as their daily goal, which take approximately 5 minutes per day. The software then learns which areas of the specification are commonly answered correctly and incorrectly, and targets future questions on incorrect topics more frequently than those which were previously correct.
Additionally, this software provides valuable insight into pupils’ strengths and areas of development, to inform teaching and learning sequences and allow teaching to be responsive to the needs of learners.
Strong evidence shows that the more this software is used over a long period of time, the more impact it has. Parental support in encouraging their children to complete their daily goal is essential in supporting the use of this software to achieve maximum benefit for students.
Students will need to register for the software using the school details provided by their Science teacher. Registration must be done initially via the web, but apps can then be downloaded for Android and Apple stores once registered. | 2019-04-25T12:16:20Z | https://tmhs.co.uk/curriculum/revision/tassomaii/ |

- operations to complete sooner.
- of available CPU cache.
- input tuples are quite wide.
* Primary determinants of sizes of shared-memory structures.
# you actively intend to use prepared transactions.
- * as each block is read from its "tape".
- * replacement selection to form the first run.
- * use of replacement selection for the first run.
- * There are several reasons to favor a hybrid sort-merge strategy.
- * Maintaining a priority tree/heap has poor CPU cache characteristics.
- * that is required even when runs are no larger than available memory.
- * major advantage of using replacement selection.
+ * space as soon as each block is read from its "tape".
* workMem, we begin to emit tuples into sorted runs in temporary tapes.
- * using Algorithm D.
+ * then merge the runs using Algorithm D.
* datum1 as the authoritative value for pass-by-reference cases.
- * While building initial runs, tupindex holds the tuple's run number.
- * unused if the sort occurs entirely in memory.
+ * from during merge passes.
- * Run numbers, used during external sort operations.
- * HEAP_RUN_NEXT is only used for SortTuple.tupindex, never state.currentRun.
- * sort-merge strategy is in use instead (runs are quicksorted).
+ * While building initial runs, this is the current output run number.
+ * Afterwards, it is the number of initial runs we made.
- * Dump tuples until we are back under the limit.
+ * Dump all tuples.
- * - Replacement selection is in use (typically it is never used).
- * appended indifferently, much like the TSS_INITIAL case.
- * There should always be room to store the incoming tuple.
- * Insert tuple into first, fully heapified run.
- * determine that the tuple does not belong in RUN_FIRST).
- * If we are over the memory limit, dump tuples till we're under.
+ * If we are over the memory limit, dump all tuples.
* If no more data, we've reached end of run on this tape.
* Remove the top node from the heap.
- * useselection - determine algorithm to use to sort first run.

According to the Zambian Minister of Finance, Alexander Chikwanda, the Zambian real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 6% in 2014, making it the 7th and 10th fastest growing economy in sub-Saharan Africa and the world, respectively, with real growth projected to quicken to 7% between 2015 and 2017.
In a statement released by the Minister of Finance, Hon. Chikwanda expressed the government’s commitment to ensuring that the programs and activities that are approved in the 2015 parliamentary budget will be well implemented in order to move Zambia into a middle-income prosperous nation.
Hon. Chikwanda went on to explain in his statement that Zambia’s GDP growth between 2015 and 2017, GDP growth to 7% will likely come as a results of increases in agricultural production, electricity generation, and construction as well as growth in transport and communication.
Additionally, the Minister of Finance explained that the government is committed to working to resolve the issue of value-added tax (VAT) refunds with mining companies and was eager to reach an agreement with them on new mining taxes.
“For next year, we have made provisions to cover normal VAT refunds as well as dismantling prior claims where sufficient documentation is provided,” the minister said.
Hon. Chikwanda concluded by noting that investor confidence overall was strong in 2014 as evidenced by Zambia’s sovereign credit ratings at a ceiling of B+ in addition to the continued increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. | 2019-04-22T16:11:51Z | http://www.zambiainvest.com/economy/zambian-strong-economic-growth-expected-to-continue |
An eloquent wedding favor or bridal shower cookie!
You know you have achieved cake/cookie decorating mania when you see a comforter online and it inspires you to recreate the effect on a cookie (this technique could be constructed on a cake as well). I was extremely pleased how eloquent the final result looked. My first thought was how nice they would be for Valentine’s Day, however they are detailed, fragile and time consuming. The tufted heart cookie would be better suited for a wedding favor or a bridal shower. I literally have had over 10 wedding inquiries.
If you plan to sell a similar design remember to price accordingly. You will need to take in account your time, materials, ingredients, overhead, delivery, and set-up.
I love the billow tufted effect!
Bake, cool your sugar cookies completely and prepare your mise en place.
You will need an off-peak consistency royal icing and soft/medium consistency royal icing.
They not only look beautiful, but the tufted heart cookie tastes delicious!
I find filling the piping bag with royal icing the size of my palm, meaning the portion of the bag of royal icing in no larger than the palm of my hand.
Fill your piping bag to the size of your palm, this will ensure you don not injure your hand with too much icing.
Fill your piping bag/cornet, fitted with the #3 writer nozzle/tip, with the off-peak consistency.
Fill your piping bag, fitted with # 1.5 writer nozzle/tip, with the soft-medium peak consistency.
Fill your piping bag, fitted with the small leaf tip, with the off-peak consistency.
For leaf colour piped calyx mix 1/2 toothpick of vine green and 1/2 toothpick of moss green food paste. Do not completely mix the colour to achieve a variation coloured calyx.
For the tutorial on the construction of the Tufted Heart Cookie.
The primrose heart tutorial will be coming soon!
the how to make sugar rose that is in the middle of this cookie.
If you have question please leave a message.
Have a sneak peak of my new video Primrose Garden Tufted Heart (the cookie in back right hand corner)!
So beautiful!! Amazing work..thanks for sharing.
I am impressed, what a great idea for tufting!!
thank you, Wendle..glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you, I would love to post your work on my Facebook page!
What an amazing idea, I love both videos!

Hours ahead of a national debt default, the largest newspaper in Texas pulled its endorsement of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.
Sixteen days after the government shut began the Houston Chronicle is pining for the days of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, who was succeeded by Cruz in January.
“For one thing, Hutchison had an unswerving commitment to the highest and best interests of Texas at all times,” the Chronicle wrote.
The newspaper said it endorsed Cruz in the November general election, but with hesitancy.
The Chronicle says Hutchison advocated for NASA, the Port of Houston, the oil industry, and even smaller cities and towns as much as Dallas and San Antonio.
“We feel certain she would have worked shoulder to shoulder with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in crafting a workable solution that likely would have avoided the government shutdown altogether,” the Chronicle wrote. | 2019-04-26T00:11:39Z | https://www.opposingviews.com/politics/houston-chronicle-pulls-ted-cruz-endorsement-hours-debt-deadline |

We've all seen the TV ads telling us to drink green tea may prevent or even cure cancer. Are these true statements of fact, while green tea contains many antioxidants naturally there is no real evidence that can or will help prevent cancer. But it does now appear that green tea can help prevent the risk of blood clots related movements.
To test this theory, a recent study made in Japan by the Japanese government and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association by Dr. Shinichi Kuriyama of Tohoku University. Dr. Kuriyama suggested that the Japanese are less likely than Americans suffer from heart disease and stroke. This study is a little more special because of the large number of participants were used for the study, 40 530.
Most studies have been conducted to date on green tea have ended with mixed results, including studies by the National Cancer Institute. However, drinking tea is very common in Japanese culture so that research seems to refute criticism previous studies.
In America, green tea drinkers tend to be a state richer and more concerned about their health, while in Japan, green tea is more or less used in their basic diet. But there were some factors that created some results. Heavy tea drinkers in this Japanese study also tended to eat more vegetables and fruit that is a diet that reduces cardiovascular disease and cancer risk. Another important factor study establishes that the Japanese, than Americans, Japanese are much less about weight than most Americans.
Women who drank five cups of green tea or a day had a 31% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared with women who drank one cup a day. Cardiovascular disease is heart disease and stroke, the number one killer for women in the U.S., and for men the risk was reduced by 22%.
As mentioned, tea contains natural antioxidants – a substance that holds cells (red and white) on your body healthy. There are more antioxidants in green tea than in black, have been made Studies in animals show that catechins (a type of antioxidant) seems to reduce cancerous tumors, but not prevention. Human studies have shown that tea may reduce cholesterol and keep arteries clear.
The main problem of this study is that "it is pointed in one direction, but it is totally results conclusive is everything. The study itself seemed to have a few loop holes. From the 40 530 participants taking part in the study for seven years, 1,134 participants died of cancer and 892 died from cardiovascular disease. This is not too surprising, as a prerequisite for entry into the study were diagnosed with cancer or disease cardiovascular, or at least be able to get either. | 2019-04-22T18:44:03Z | http://weightlossallyear.com/japan-green/ |

The tax will restrict competition. Today, people have a choice between online and physical retailers. Physical retailers know that a person can enter their shop, whip out their mobile device and order the same product online. That threat forces them to figure out better and ingenious ways to service their customers. It also puts downward pressure on all prices, making costs cheaper for consumers. Increasing the tax will put some retailers out of business limiting consumer choice.
American GDP will drop because increased taxes will cause people to buy less. That will lead to less job creation and less economic activity. An internet tax could cause unemployment to rise. | 2019-04-26T14:06:00Z | https://www.jasonranderson.com/2013/04/now-taking-applicants-for-smoot-hawley-2-0/ |
So what exactly is wrong with Chris Sale right now?
Chris Sale had another rough outing on Tuesday, so what is wrong with the seven-time All Star left-hander?
The Boston Red Sox had their home opener on Tuesday and they celebrated their World Series win from last fall. Chris Sale got the start and got through two scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays, before allowing five runs over the third and fourth innings and bowing out after 76 pitches (54 strikes).
After allowing seven runs on six hits over three innings to the Seattle Mariners in the season opener, Sale took another loss, but was somewhat better against the Oakland Athletics last Tuesday (one run and three hits allowed over six innings).
But he only had one strikeout in that start, as his fastball rarely got over 90 MPH.
Entering Tuesday’s outing, Sale’s fastball velocity was down to 91.4 MPH after averaging at least 95 MPH in each of the last two seasons.
He had also been throwing his fastball quite a bit less (30.7 percent of the time; 38.9 percent last year), which can be chalked up to it being early in the season.
That kind of diminished velocity is a big concern, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sale had been dealing with an illness that prevented him from throwing between his first and second starts.
Sale apparently got in a normal bullpen session over the weekend in Arizona, but he was not any better on Tuesday with seven hits allowed, three strikeouts and zero walks to leave him with an even 9.00 ERA through three starts.
A particular low light Tuesday came when Lourdes Gurriel stole home, while Sale was in the windup paying no attention.
But alas, there were signs of progress.
To be fair, Sale’s fastball velocity was below par in April 2018 before it got to his typical level. So a ramping up period is not new, even with bottomed out velocity against Oakland, and not being able to throw between his first and second starts was a setback in that ramp up process.
Sale missed time last season with a shoulder issue, and the Red Sox are trying to dismiss there’s anything seriously wrong with him now. It’s too early to make any grand conclusions, unless an injury surfaces.
But the team has to be crossing its fingers there’s not a serious issue to be discovered, or anything that could become a serious issue, after signing Sale to a five-year, $145 million contract extension just prior to the season. | 2019-04-25T06:22:54Z | https://baseballinformer.com/2019/04/09/so-what-exactly-is-wrong-with-chris-sale-right-now/ |
I first started reading cards over 20 years ago, when I found my mother’s old tarot deck in a closet. Since then, I’ve grown fluent in several divination methods, including the Tarot of Marseille, bone casting, dream interpretation, and scrying.
My skill in divination has been honed by my training in Reclaiming Tradition witchcraft and British traditional witchcraft. I am a practicing pellar and traditional witch, and I work with spirits of place, ancestors, and my familiars to serve clients and the land. I serve as a priestess at Reclaiming Los Angeles’s public rituals, and I love California native gardening, fiber arts, cottage herbalism, and playing with my daughters.
In addition to my blog here on my personal site, I also write for Pagan Square, and my writing on tarot and witchcraft has appeared in Luna Luna Magazine, Witches and Pagans Magazine, Elephant Journal, Gods and Radicals, and other outlets.
