The easiest approach to preserve electricity is to close your lights when you're not utilizing them and attempt to all-natural lighting in daytime. You don't need to open your lights during daytime as you can allow natural light to illuminate your home throughout the day.
Many individuals are actually disregarding lighting since they feel that their bills are not really impacted by these small light bulbs. If you are making use of your artificial lighting 24 hours a day, it will start draining a lot of energy and you will need to deal with more pricey bills every month. The very first thing that you have to do is to substitute your incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs or CFL since they are consuming less energy. It is also important to make of natural light instead of using your artificial lighting 24 hours a day. Make an effort to open your curtains during day time and enable the all-natural light to enter your residence. Your lights should only be opened at night.
Lighting has been disregarded for a long time since most individuals feel that they can open their lights for 24 hours and their expenses will not be impacted. Bulbs are really small, but they up a lot of energy.
You should also discover how to effectively your appliances because they are the main elements in your monthly energy bills. If you are still making use of the old models, they will consume more energy compared to new models.
Plugged appliances still consume energy when they are turned off so you need to make sure that they are unplugged after utilizing. This could be a mistake that a lot of homeowners make so if you really wanted to preserve some energy, you should unplug your home appliances.
This is definitely a very big difficulty for the individuals who are not really making use of solar or wind energy as alternative. As these alternative options may be pricey, quite a few people claim that they don't actually need this right this moment.
This will likely be a trouble to the folks who're not utilizing solar and wind energy as their alternate supply. As these alternate options are quite costly, some folks state that they don't actually need this right this moment.
The most practical method to save electricity and reduce your bills is to close your lights when you are not using them. natural light throughout the day as well. Open your curtains and let natural light in your residence so you will not have to open your lights during daytime.
Alternative energy options will also be the best thing to look at if you'd like to significantly decrease your monthly electric bills. Some individuals are not utilizing these energy options as they think that you should spend thousands of dollars for it. In case you are only planning to this as an alternative, it will surely benefit you over time.
You need to also discover how to effectively your home appliances as they are the primary factors in your monthly power bills. Generally, if you're still utilizing the old designs, they will absolutely consume more energy when compared with new ones.
If you will conserve energy, you can greatly improve your financial situation. This is not a difficult thing because these ideas are very easy. Make sure to follow them and you can enjoy low electricity bills every month. | 2019-04-24T07:54:42Z | https://getaffordableenergy.com/texas/bellaire-texas-electricity-providers-reviews.html |
He goes on to explain his thoughts on why point to point communications do not scale, and how emails in general are becoming too bloated (the lack of a singular focus in many emails I receive definitely impacts my likelihood of responding), as well as how 1:many or 1:all mediums are superior to 1:1 methods (e.g. email). This is exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out how to say.
Tantek certainly isn’t the first to write about the the problems with email – Mike Davidson’s solution last year was to reduce the length and detail of replies to a specific number of sentences, but that hasn’t allowed me to make a sufficient dent in my inbox.
Similarly, Inbox Zero (a process many of my friends use to keep the noise down) just doesn’t seem to work for me. Plus, having an empty inbox won’t stop people from communicating with me via email when they should be using another medium.
Both Inbox Zero and Sentenc.es aim to reduce the impact of the full inbox by making it easier to empty on a regular basis, but for me that doesn’t solve the problem as I see it–it isn’t a matter of finding a way to work around what email has become, it’s just that email is being used improperly, and I’d rather use other methods of communication that are more appropriate to the type and relevance of the message.
Email isn’t broken for everyone (or at least, if it is they don’t realize it yet), but I find more people becoming frustrated with email every week. Add the whole SPAM problem into the mix (over the last 6 months, more and more of my valid incoming/outgoing messages are getting caught by SPAM filters than ever) and I just see email continuing its downward spiral.
I’m not sure of the solution – as long as my clients continue to send me emails and expect a response, I’m a bit nervous to tell them to shove it (it’s hard enough to get them to all use Basecamp instead for project communication, let alone stop using a method that still works for them), but perhaps that’s what it will come down to. Tantek’s article ends with a list of suggestions that can serve as a decent starting point, and his Email Reduction project is also worth checking out.
Does email = efail for you? How do you feel about the future of email?

I love your blog. Did you design this yourself? It rawks.
Posted by Matt Robin on Wednesday, February 27th, 2008.
Mike: Dan’s blog design is like so super-wicked-cool. Especially the use of orange.
Dan: I must admit, I don’t exactly get swamped with e-mails…so it is hard for me to consider e-mails being a particularly bad way to communicate. E-mail Servers…yes, those are bastards(!) but e-mails aren’t too bad. The bloated content only appears to stem from some people not knowing how to write well in e-mails, or, like me – just end up rambling on for too long.
I use Gmail/Googlemail for my main web-related e-mails, and I must admit that having the Gmail Search facility (for example, if I wanted to find all e-mails in my Inbox that had the words ‘superfluous banter’) it is no problem at all, even with bloated text in the e-mails themselves. My spam filters are working ok too, and I use a different e-mail address for signing up to any sites where I suspect I might get any spam sent to me (which keeps it out of my Gmail account most of the time). I think e-mail is fine if it is used appropriately.
I think that’s all I need to say on that for now – I ran in to some bitter controversy months ago with my less than favourable comments about the ‘E-mail Standards Project’, so I’ve been wary to express an opinion about e-mail related matters since then.

When all these attachments and replies are flying around it just creates chaos out of nothing.
Wiki+IRC is one way of going at it which I think covers 80% of the communication needs.

@Mike D: Thx, I’m happier with this theme than any I’ve designed before.

The problem is that email should not be thought of as a universal communication solution. That is, it doesn’t work well in all situations. Email is good if you need a yes or no type answer, and there will be no discussion. If you have something complicated and you need discussion, all of a sudden you have 20 emails, each one sentence long, that consumes an hour of your time. Sometimes you need the give and take of a personal conversation. The problem with that? No body answers their stinkin’ phone anymore. And that is what has forced everyone to rely on email. At least with email you have an date/time stamped audit trail to prove you tried to resolve the issue. The real solution? Stop doing or being involved with complicated things. Just keep repeating ‘Simple is better’.

The TSH receptor (TSHR) hinge region was previously considered an inert scaffold connecting the leucine-rich ectodomain to the transmembrane region of the receptor. However, mutation studies have established the hinge region to be an extended hormone-binding site in addition to containing a region which is cleaved thus dividing the receptor into α|’ (A) and β (B) subunits. Furthermore, we have shown in-vitro that monoclonal antibodies directed to the cleaved part of the hinge region (often termed “neutral” antibodies) can induce thyroid cell apoptosis in the absence of cyclic AMP signaling. The demonstration of neutral antibodies in patients with Graves' disease suggests their potential involvement in disease pathology thus making the hinge a potentially important antigenic target. Here we examine the evolution of the antibody immune response to the entire TSHR hinge region (aa280–410) after intense immunization with full-length TSHR cDNA in a mouse (BALB/c) model in order to examine the immunogenicity of this critical receptor structure. We found that TSHR hinge region antibodies were detected in 95% of the immunized mice. The antibody responses were largely restricted to residues 352–410 covering three major epitopes and not merely confined to the cleaved portion. These data indicated the presence of novel antigenic “hotspots” within the carboxyl terminus of the hinge region and demonstrate that the hinge region of the TSHR contains an immunogenic pocket that is involved in the highly heterogeneous immune response to the TSHR. The presence of such TSHR antibodies suggests that they may play an active role in the immune repertoire marshaled against the TSHR and may influence the Graves' disease phenotype.
The thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) is the major regulator of thyroid gland function and also a major autoantigen in Graves' disease (GD) which is caused by stimulating TSHR autoantibodies inducing thyroid gland hyperactivity (1, 2). Autoantibodies to the TSHR found in patients with Graves' disease may be stimulating, blocking, or neutral based on their modulation of cyclic AMP signaling (3). All stimulating and most blocking receptor antibodies bind conformationally to the leucine-rich repeat domain (LRD), part of the large ectodomain (ECD) of the TSHR while neutral antibodies recognize linear epitopes largely within the hinge region of the receptor which links the LRD to the transmembrane (TM) sequences. The stimulating TSHR antibodies, like TSH itself, activate the TSHR on the basolateral surface of thyroid epithelial cells leading to multiple G protein activation–predominantly Gαs (4, 5) but also Gαq-and Gβγ signaling pathways (5, 6), while blocking antibodies inhibit TSH action on the receptor by physically preventing the interaction of TSH with the LRD (7). Crystallization of the TSHR ECD bound to human stimulating and blocking monoclonal antibodies to the TSHR has provided insight into antibody contact residues showing the LRD as the major binding region (8, 9). Although the crystal structures did not include the full hinge region we have provided evidence that TSHR-Abs also bind to this area (10). The crystal structure of the hinge region of the FSHR (11) has provided evidence of the structural features of this region which likely applies to all glycoprotein hormone receptors including the TSHR and has allowed homology modeling of the entire ectodomain (12) and thus extended our understanding on ligand displacement of specific hinge fragments.
Previously, the hinge region of the TSHR, which spans 114 amino acids, was considered as an inert scaffold connecting the LRD to the TM region of the receptor (13) although some later studies have defined this region to extend from residues 289–409 (14) and even from aa 280–410 (15). However, studies using monoclonal antibodies and synthetic peptides have demonstrated that certain epitopes within the hinge region are involved in TSH binding, and mutation studies have established the hinge region to be an extended hormone-binding site (16). The hinge region also encompasses a unique 50 amino acid cleaved region (amino acids 316–366). Antibodies directed to the hinge region are often termed “neutral” antibodies, even though studies from our laboratory have established that they are not neutral in function (17, 18). Our studies have also shown that hinge region specific neutral antibodies might also play a role in inhibiting the receptor from being cleaved and released from the cell surface possibly by dimerizing two receptors (19). Furthermore, we have shown both in vitro and in vivo that neutral antibodies have the ability to lead to cell stress and apoptosis of thyrocytes, which appears to only, happen in the absence of cyclic AMP signaling (20, 21). Identification of “neutral” TSHR antibodies in patients with Graves' disease, therefore, suggests their potential involvement in the disease process (18).
Female BALB/c mice, ages between 6 and 8 weeks, were purchased from Jackson Labs (n = 30). All animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and performed with all standard animal care precautions in a pathogen-free facility.
Full-length pEGFP-hTSHR described previously (23) and empty vector pEFGP-N1 plasmid DNA was prepared using QIAGEN plasmid mega kit (Cat # 12181). After spectrophotometric measurement of the purified DNA, it was diluted to 1 mg/mL in calcium and magnesium free 1X PBS prior to immunization. The animals were anesthetized and injected with 50 μL of plasmid DNA (1 mg/mL) into the biceps femoris muscle. The injected DNA was electroporated using the ECM830 square wave electroporator (BTX) with 7 mm caliper electrodes at 200 V/cm2. The current was applied in 10–20 ms2 wave pulses at 1 Hz. This muscle immunization was performed four times at 3-week intervals. Blood was collected by submandibular bleeding at weeks 5, 10, 13, 19, and 24 (Figure 1). Serum samples were separated and stored at −20°C.
Figure 1. Immunization scheme of the mouse model. Female Balb/c mice of 6–8 weeks were used in this study. Test animals (n = 20) were injected with expression plasmids pEGFP-hTSHR and control animals (n = 10) with pEGFP-N1 empty vector, respectively with 50 μl of plasmid DNA in the bicep femoris muscle and electroporated as described in materials and method. This immunization scheme was done every 3 weeks for a total of 4 times. The mice were bled at 0, 5, 10, 13, 19, and 24 weeks.
Serum samples were diluted 1:10 in assay buffer and measured for T4 and TSH levels using the Millipore MAP thyroid magnetic bead method (Cat # RTHYMAG-30 K) as per the manufacturer's protocol. The cut-off was specified by ±2 standard deviations from the average of the control empty vector immunized samples.
Luciferase assays for TSH-like action were performed as described previously (24). Briefly, a 384-well plate was seeded with 15,000 cells/well of CHO-TSHR cells co-expressing a CRE-luciferase (TSHR-Glo) construct. Thirty microliters of purified serum IgG at a concentration of 1 μg/mL or serum diluted 1:10 to 1:100 per well was used in the stimulation assay or inhibition assay for blocking antibodies. All sera or IgG were diluted in F12 medium and incubated with TSHR-Glo cells for 4 h prior to addition of luciferase substrate. For the inhibition assays, the diluted samples (1:100) were added to the wells first, and after 60 min of pre-incubation, the wells were spiked with bovine TSH (final concentration of 50 μU/well) followed by 4 h of incubation at 37°C in a CO2 incubator with >85% humidity prior measuring luminescence in the ClarioStar microplate reader (BMG Inc). Positive and negative controls used were bovine TSH/ medium alone and sera diluted from control vector immunized mice.
CHO-TSHR expressing cells were used for the detection of TSHR antibodies. These cells were grown overnight at 37°C in F12 medium containing 100 units of penicillin and streptomycin and 10% FBS. The cells from the plate were detached using 1 mM EGTA/EDTA and washed twice with 1X PBS, filtered using 75 μM filter and suspended in 100 μL of FACS staining buffer (1X PBS with 0.2% sodium azide and 2% FBS) at a density of 1 × 106 cells/tube. Test and control serum diluted 1:50 were incubated with cells for an hour at room temperature and TSHR receptor binding antibodies were detected using anti-mouse antibody Fab' phycoerthrin (PE) labeled secondary antibody. Tube with no primary antibody and anti TSHR mAb RSR1 (0.1 μg/mL) were used as negative and positive controls, respectively in this unfixed FACS assay. The results were expressed as the percentage positive cells detected in the test samples compared to the control serum samples. All sera were tested at 10 and 24 weeks after immunization for these antibodies.
In a series of qualitative ELISA's we used 9 overlapping 20-mer peptides spanning the entire human TSHR hinge region (amino acids 280–410) as indicated schematically in Figure 2. Briefly, the peptide ELISA were performed by coating 100 μL/well of peptides dissolved in bicarbonate buffer pH 9.6 at 10 μg/mL. The plates were blocked with 2% BSA for 2 h at 25°C. Mice sera were diluted 1:100 and incubated for 1 h at 25°C. Anti-mouse IgG-Fab' HRP was used as the detection antibody. The optical density (OD) was obtained at 450 nm in a CalrioStar microplate reader (BMG Inc). The ELISA approach proved highly specific when tested with control peptides. The cut-off was specified by ±2 standard deviations from the average of the control serum samples for each of the peptide plates.

(Left) Model of the full-length human TSH receptor showing the major concave leucine-rich domain (gray), the large hinge region (orange) connecting to the helical transmembrane domain (yellow) with its short carboxyl tail and extra- and intra- cellular loops (25). The intracellular loops of receptor harbor sites for downstream effectors such Gαs, Gαq, Gβγ, Gα12, and recruitment of β-arrestins thus forming the array of signaling units of the TSHR. (Right) A magnified image with amino acid sequence of the hinge region (aa 280–410) of the receptor with the “hot-spot” peptides marked in color. Shown here are the 3 “hot-spots” of the hinge region described in this study: peptide 23 (residues 352–371), peptide 24 (residues 367–386), and peptide 25 (residues 382–401) with there overlapping regions indicated in blue here. Note the 50 amino acid cleaved region (amino acids 316–366- indicated as dotted line in the above model) of the hinge has an overlap with peptide 23.
At the end of 24 weeks, the thyroid glands and heads of the control and test animals were retrieved and fixed in 10% buffered formalin in 0.9% NaCl. After fixation, the thyroid gland was embedded in paraffin and processed further. To examine the retro-orbital tissue of these animals, the heads were decalcified for 2 weeks prior to coronal sectioning along the orbit in order to obtain sections with the optic nerve. Representative slides of thyroid and orbital section from the individual immunized or control animals were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to examine the gross histological changes. Images of the stained H & E slides were acquired using a Hamamatzu NanoZoomer Digital slide scanner at 20x magnification. NDP.view 2 viewing software was used for further magnification to examine the tissue for histological changes. Images thus obtained were used for quantification of adipose tissue around the optic nerve in the retro-orbital area by drawing ROIs around the optic nerve and the area occupied by the adipose tissue using ImageJ and adiposity calculated as described previously (22).
As required, statistical analysis of data was performed using GraphPad Prism Version 6.04 and two-tailed t-tests were performed by the same software. All error bars plotted are SD values from at least triplicate measurements.
To evaluate the immunogenicity of the human full-length TSHR plasmid compared to the empty vector we immunized BALB/c mice at 3-week intervals and blood samples were collected as schematically shown in Figure 1. At week 10, the T4 level of the control plasmid immunized mice was 4.29 ± 1.8 μg/dL compared to 5.20 ± 2.32 μg/dL in the receptor plasmid immunized animals. Twenty percentage of individual receptor immunized animals had elevated but variable T4 levels with correspondingly suppressed TSH indicating hyperthyroidism (Figures 3A,B). Five out of 20 (25%) receptor immunized mice had significantly elevated TSH indicative of hypothyroidism (Figures 3A,B). However, no TSHR stimulating antibodies were detected in any of the sera from TSHR cDNA immunized mice (data not shown). Five of the 20 immunized mice showed blocking antibodies at week 10 including 4 of the 5 hypothyroid mice with elevated TSH (Figure 4B).
Figure 3. Thyroid function tests of immunized animals. (A) Serum TSH levels: T4 and TSH were detected using multiplex bead assay (Millipore) as described in materials and method. The average TSH level was 1.46 ± 1.26 ng/dL in the control animals vs. 2.22 ± 6.56 ng/dL in the immunized group. When the immunized group was subdivided into low and high TSH groups, 25% of mice had high TSH levels. (B) Serum T4 levels: Average T4 level was 4.29 ± 1.72 μg/dL in the control animals vs. 5.20 ± 2.32 μg/dL in the immunized group. 20% of the immunized animals had elevated T4 with corresponding suppressed TSH. There was significant difference (p < 0.0001) between the high TSH and the control group only.
Figure 4. Total TSH receptor antibodies in immunized mice. (A) Percentage of TSHR antibody: Flow cytometry was carried out at week 10 with serum samples from immunized and control animals using CHO-TSHR expressing cells to estimate TSH receptor binding antibodies. By this analysis, 95% of the immunized mice had conformational TSHR binding antibodies in their serum. The dotted line is the average response seen in the 10 control animals for TSHR antibodies (≤0.2%). (B) TSHR inhibiting antibody. To examine TSH blocking antibodies in the serum of immunized animals we used the TSHRGlo cells and performed the assay as described in M & M. K1-70 blocking monoclonal antibody was used as a positive control which gave a 39.7% inhibition to 60 μU of bTSH in the assay, as indicated by the top dotted line. The lower cutoff (bottom dotted line) is 2 standard deviations above the average of the control mice, which was 20.4%. By these criteria we observed 5 out of the 20 hTSHR immunized animals had blocking antibodies at week 10 and 80% of these were mice with high TSH.
The second step in our assessment of the full-length receptor immunization model was the detection of TSHR binding antibodies to human TSHR as stably expressed on CHO cells and assessed by flow-cytometry. At 10 weeks post-immunization 95% of the immunized animals had detectable TSHR antibodies and the relative percentage positivity ranged from 7 to 36% (Figure 4A). The control animals had undetectable antibodies as indicated by the broken line. The level of receptor antibodies binding to the conformationally correct TSHR on CHO cells was highly variable in the immunized group.
Indirect peptide ELISA's were performed with 17 of the 20-mer overlapping peptides covering the entire TSHR ECD and 9 peptides covering the entire TSHR hinge region. Positivity was determined using the cut-off criteria of ±2 SD above or below that of the control mice sera. Only 3 ECD peptides induced linear antibody responses with the major epitope residing at the N-terminus (aa 22–41) (Figure 5A). However, with the hinge region peptides the response was more heterogeneous, the data showed that 95% of the TSHR immunized animals showed antibody responses to at least one of the hinge region peptides (data not shown). Further, 70% of the immunized mice showed antibody responses which were restricted to three major peptides (Figure 5B) that we have termed hinge region “hot spot” epitopes (Figure 2). ELISA results from week 10 showed 25% of the receptor immunized animals had antibody responses to peptide 23 (residues 352–371), 30% to peptide 24 (residues 367–386), and 15% to peptide 25 (residues 382–401). The average of the difference in OD between the test animals and the cutoff ranged from 0.21 ± 0.09 to 0.80 ± 0.60 at 1:100 serum dilutions. However, the predicted antigenicity did not always correspond with the in-vivo responses against these peptides as indicated by stars under each epitope (Figure 5B). TSHR hinge region antibodies were detected as early as week 5 post-immunization in the test animals with the immune response tapering off at week 13 but sustained until week 24 (Figure 6). Overall the hinge antibodies remained detectable until the termination of the experiment. There was no significant difference observed in the hinge antibody response between the low and high TSH subgroups (Figure 6 inset).
Figure 5. Detecting linear antibodies by indirect peptide ELISA. (A) Antibodies to non-hinge region peptides: 17 overlapping 20-mer peptides representing the non-hinge region of the TSHR ectodomain spanning residues 1–281 of the ectodomain was used in the indirect peptide ELISA to detect linear binding antibodies in the serum of immunized mice. The cut-off as indicated by the dotted line is the highest value of all peptides reacted with control animal serum plus 2 standard deviation above the mean. Peptide 1 (residues 22–41) of the receptor showed overwhelming predominance of antibody response (85%) compared to other peptides 6 and 13. Antigenicity predicted by more than two open source software is marked below each peptide by stars. (B) Antibodies to hinge region peptides: To examine hinge specific antibodies in the immunized animals we used 9 peptides covering the entire hinge region (residues 277–415). The majority of immunized animals showed linear binding antibodies to peptides 23, 24, and 25 that were above cut-off (dotted line) determined by the control serum samples plus 2 standard deviation. Overall, 40% of the immunized mice showed antibody response to these novel hinge regions “hot-spots.” Antigenicity predicted by more than two open source software is marked below each peptide by stars.
Figure 6. Time course of response to hinge region “hot-spots” in immunize mice. Mice immunized with full-length hTSHR showed increasing antibody response to the hinge region “hot-spots” throughout the time course of the immunization described in Figure 1. As indicated here an antibody rise started as early as < 5 weeks and plateaued off at week 13 maintaining 85% positivity until the termination of the experiment. Dotted lines indicate immunization time points. Insert: Shows the percentage of hinge region “hot-spot” antibody positive mice by thyroid function at week 10. 56% of the antibody positive mice were in the normal TSH range and 22% were in each of the low and high TSH ranges.
Fixed thyroid sections of the TSHR immunized and control plasmid immunized mice were examined at 24 weeks for histological changes after H&E staining. Histological examination of thyroids from animals with antibodies directed to the hinge hotspots, in addition to other TSHR-Abs, showed variable pathological changes. These changes included enlarged thyroid follicles (Figure 7B) and mononuclear micro-infiltrates (Figure 7C). No such pathological changes were found in the control mice (Figure 7A). However, no correlation was observed between specific histological changes with levels of hinge region antibodies or thyroid function in the animals examined.
Figure 7. Thyroid histology of immunized animals: Images of H&E stained slides were obtained using the Hamamatsu NanoZoomer digital scanner at 20x magnification and analyzed and depicted here by NDP.view2 software at 15x magnification. (A) Normal control mouse thyroid (B) Enlarged thyroid follicles (C) Dense micro infiltrates. These changes marked by arrow were all seen in some high hinge positive mice (2 out of 5 hTSHR immunized mice). The changes could not be conclusively associated with these antibodies because of the heterogeneity of the response observed in these immunized animals.
In view of recent reports that intensive TSHR-ECD immunization induced retro orbital adipocyte proliferation (26, 27), we examined several of the control (n = 5) and test (n = 10) mice after 24 weeks in order to detect periorbital adipose changes. Adipose tissue in the retro-orbital region was quantified using ImageJ and normalized to the area of optic nerve section. Quantitatively we did not observe any significant difference in the amount of adipose tissue between the immunized and control animals (Figure 8).
Figure 8. Adipogenesis in the retro orbital of immunized animals: Images of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained slides were obtained using the Hamamatsu NanoZoomer digital scanner at 20x magnification and analyzed and depicted here by NDP.view2 software. Representative images of (A) Adipose tissue (ROI marked in red) around the optic nerve (ROI marked in yellow) of a control mouse. (B) Adipose tissue around the optic nerve of the TSHR immunized mice (C) To quantitate the changes in adipocytes in the control and immunized animals we used Image J on images at 10x magnification. The area of adipose was normalized by the area of the optical nerve on the same image for each orbit of animal. The immunized mice adipocyte to optic nerve area ratio was 2.88 ± 3.46 and that for the control mice was 2.59 ± 1.66. No significant difference in adipogenesis was seen in these immunized animals.
A full-length TSHR plasmid cDNA muscle immunization model was used to characterize the antigenicity of the hinge region of the TSHR ECD to reveal novel antigenic “hot spots” within the hinge region of the human TSHR. The full-length TSHR was used as the immunogen since that is what is produced endogenously by the thyroid cell prior to posttranslational processing although only a limited percentage of receptors may retain this complete structure at any one time because of subsequent receptor dimerization, cleavage, and ECD shedding (23, 28, 29).
TSHR autoantibodies are hallmarks for human autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) which encompasses both Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (20, 30), but are heterogeneous in function. These antibodies can be broadly subdivided into three types; stimulating, blocking, and neutral, based on their behavior in functional TSH bioassays (3, 31). Autoantibodies of the stimulating, blocking, and neutral varieties also develop in TSHR immunization models (32, 33) so it is likely that the native tripartite structure of the TSHR (ECD, hinge, and TMD) helps define its antigenic character and repertoire of autoantibodies in animal models and patients with AITD. The development of stimulating monoclonal antibodies (34–36) along with the crystallization of human stimulating and blocking antibodies bound to a partial TSHR ECD (8) together with antibody protection analysis (10) have all provided deeper insight into the binding epitopes and mode of action of TSHR antibodies (8, 9). The large ECD consisting of residues 1–280 is a major pocket for TSH, stimulating and blocking antibody binding (7, 37). However, the remaining portion of the ECD from residues 280–410 defined as the “hinge region” (13, 16) was previously thought to be just a scaffold to transmit conformational changes to the TMD. However, later studies showed that the hinge was also a fertile region for TSH and autoantibody binding (16, 17). A detailed analysis of the various antigenic sites on the hinge region, which makes up more than a third of the ECD structure, has been lacking although there are several potential linear antigenic epitopes in this large segment of the TSHR. Studies from our laboratory, and by others (30, 32), have shown that the hinge region—including the cleaved sequence (residues 316–366)—is the region recognized by a class of antibodies often termed “neutral” antibodies (32) both in animal models (34) and in sera from GD patients (18, 38). These neutral antibodies recognize linear epitopes under fixed and unfixed conditions in flow-cytometry assays and they bind to their target antigen under reduced conditions in immunoblots.
Induced animal models for Graves' disease have been successfully developed with a variety of inbred and outbred rodents either using conformational TSHR antigen by injecting fibroblast cells expressing the TSHR (39) or immunization with TSHR-cDNA (40, 41) and especially successfully with adenoviral vectors incorporating the TSHR cDNA (42) or the ECD α|’ (or A) subunit truncated at 289 (43). Although these models have provided unique insight into various aspects of GD pathogenesis by inducing hyperthyroidism via the production of stimulating TSHR antibodies they have not been able to provide an ideal GD model with associated Graves' orbitopathy (GO) and skin infiltration (called pre-tibial myxedema). Recently, a mouse model of GD was described with changes reminiscent of Graves' orbitopathy after using receptor plasmid DNA muscle immunization with the TSHR A subunit by square-wave electroporation (22). We used this approach with a full-length human TSHR plasmid construct and established that this immunization technique was able to generate receptor antibodies in 95% of the receptor immunized mice when assayed by flow-cytometry (Figure 4A) suggesting that the full-length receptor is highly antigenic. However, we observed that only a small fraction of the animals developed hyperthyroidism as determined by changes in their T4 and TSH level (Figures 3A,B) with none of the sera having detectable stimulating antibodies presumably due to very low levels or lacking functionality with the human TSHR rather than the mouse TSHR which we did not explore. Using a TSHR A subunit construct and the same immunization protocol, one recent study (44) observed that 75% of the immunized mice were hyperthyroid while another study found only a few 12.5% hyperthyroid and neither study measured stimulating TSHR-Abs directly (22) suggesting considerable variability in responses observed with same antigen.
Our laboratory has been studying neutral antibodies directed at the hinge region of the TSHR and has shown that despite being called “neutral,” they are capable of initiating multiple signaling cascades that lead to cell stress and programmed cell death of thyrocytes in vitro (20, 21) and in-vivo. Neutral antibodies bind to known linear epitopes within the hinge region of the ectodomain, especially the cleavage region, and binding of such antibodies could modulate TSHR post translational modifications including a decrease in receptor cleavage (45) and the induction of cell stress. Furthermore, the presence of neutral antibodies in Graves' patients (18) would suggest that these are not mere bystanders in the pathogenesis of the disease. Screening the entire hinge region for antibodies from our full-length TSHR immunized mice by peptide ELISAs identified three “hot spots” spanning amino acids 352–401 which related to peptides 23, 24, and 25 (Figures 2, 5B) in the hinge region. The heterogeneous responses observed in this inbred model is surprisingly similar to humans with AITD in which exposure to the same antigen may lead to different antibody responses and different clinical phenotypes. One of the “hot spot” peptide sequences contains a tyrosine (aa 385) for which sulfation has been shown to be important for activation of the receptor (11, 46). This would suggest that hinge antibodies directed specifically to this epitope might be important in modulating TSHR function and it has previously been observed (13, 47) that truncations encompassing the hinge region can increase the constitutive activity of the receptor confirming that it certainly is not an inert region.
While thyroid pathology was difficult to correlate with TSHR antibody responses we made a serious effort to observe changes in retroorbital adipogenesis around the optic nerve of the immunized mice compared to controls as reported by others (22, 44). However, we found no differences in the present study and this may have been due to the low level of stimulating TSHR antibodies generated by our construct (Figure 8) and this reported GO model requires further confirmation.
In summary, we used an intense muscle immunization mouse model of GD with the full length human TSHR in order to study the immune responses to the hinge region of the TSHR and found novel antigenic regions within the hinge. Our earlier studies have implicated that such neutral antibodies induce thyroid cell stress and apoptosis and we now demonstrate that a battery of hinge region antibodies are unavoidably produced in the immune response to the native full-length TSHR. However, their role in immunopathogenesis requires further evaluation. In this regard we have recently observed that treating mice with a monoclonal neutral TSHR–Ab induced thyroid pathology supporting our hypothesis that such antibodies influence the disease phenotype (48).

The Inside Height of the Top Drawer Measures 4 1/4"
The Inside Height of the Remaining Five Drawers Measures 5 1/8"
The Chest Case and the Drawer Faces Receive 2 Coats of Our Heated Lacquer!
The dressor is of good height and provides average space for its size. The drawers could use more depth if one were going to use them for storing sweaters.
My recommendation is that consideration should be more for a five drawer dressor of the same height thereby providing more depth for the drawers with the top drawer being of less depth than the other four. I would also recommend wideing the dressor by six inches.

STRIDER NZAus and STRIDER UK has completed recruitment. The results for the STRIDER UK trials has been published!
Sharp A, Cornforth C, Jackson R, Harrold J, Turner MA, Kenny LC, Baker PN, Johnstone ED, Khalil A, von Dadelszen P, Papageorghiou AT. Maternal sildenafil for severe fetal growth restriction (STRIDER): a multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial. The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health. 2017 Dec 7.
STRIDER randomised controlled trial is designed to determine whether maternal treatment with oral sildenafil citrate improves perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by severe early-onset IUGR without increasing risks to the mother.
The UBC group is co-ordinating an international consortium of independently funded STRIDER trials with an a priori planned individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis at the conclusion of these trials. Currently, these trials are funded in New Zealand and Australia, United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Canada. Each national trial will be performed using a shared protocol.
The primary outcome is post-randomisation abdominal circumference (by ultrasound) growth velocity (STRIDER NZAus), prolongation of pregnancy for one week as a surrogate for long-term morbidity (STRIDER UK), intact perinatal survival until term age (Dutch STRIDER), and gestation age at delivery (STRIDER Canada). After the trials have been completed, the IPD meta-analysis will have sufficient power for a hard perinatal survival outcome. | 2019-04-21T13:06:59Z | https://pre-empt.bcchr.ca/STRIDERConsortium |
AKA were a psych rock band from Indonesia and this album is probably their best known (or least unknown) record. I really like the way they have decided to include both English and their native language on this record. I find the compositions to be high quality and if you ask me this album doesn’t have any obvious weak moments.
It cannot be denied since the release of the compilation album Those Shocking Shaking Days. Indonesian Hard, Psychedelic, Progressive Rock And Funk: 1970 - 1978 (2011) , started many outside record labels (for example: Sublime Frequencies, Strawberry Rain , Bravo Music , Now-Again Records , etc.) that started reissue albums -album belonging to an old Indonesian group / singer.
A new generation of Indonesian music lovers began to hunt down records belonging to old local bands on the compilation album.
One of them is Granadilla Music , a European record label, which released AKA ’s first album , Do What You Like (1970).
This Do What You Like album was re-released by Granadilla Music in CD and vinyl (LP) format in March 2014. Previously this album was released by Indra Records in 1970.
In Do What You Like , AKA plays fuzz-rock, hard-rock, psychedelic-rock, typical funk-rock US & British bands in the late 60s / early 70s.
Although playing loud music (for the size of the time), the material on the Do What You Like album is in fact dominated by many psychedelic-pop & Indonesiana nuances.
The above is done of course to make it more ‘sell’ (the trend of slipping “idealistic” songs on many pop songs in a music album is still continuing today in Indonesia’s mainstream music industry).
AKA was formed in Surabaya on May 23, 1967. “AKA” itself stands for Kali Asin Pharmacy, a pharmacy owned by the parents of Ucok Harahap, where the band in its early era was based and trained.
The band, commonly referred to as AKA Group, is personalized: Ucok Harahap (main keyboard / vocal), Syech Abidin (drums / vocal), Soenata Tanjung (lead guitar / vocal), Harris Sormin (guitar / vocal) and Arthur Kaunang (bass) . After that Harris left the band due to acute depression.
Early in his career before releasing an album, AKA covered a lot of songs belonging to: Mountain , Cream , Grand Funk Railroad , Jimi Hendrix , Led Zeppelin & Deep Purple .
The band is famous for its eccentric and wild stage action from Ucok. Many interesting stories (urban-legend) circulating among rockers / journalists / senior music fans will be AKA’s stage action.
On 7 August 1975 Ucok in Jakarta established a side project in the form of a contemporary art group called Ucok & His Gang .
Finally Soenata, Arthur, and Syech Abidin fired Ucok, and founded a heavy-metal / progressive-rock group named SAS (taken from the front letters of the three personnel names) in December 1975. During the period 1976-1993 SAS released 13 studio albums.
Then in 1977 Ucok founded a hard-rock / heavy-metal super-group, Duo Kribo , along with Ahmad Albar ( God Bless ). In its two years of existence, Kribo Duo has released four studio albums and one film.
Viewed from the early era of emergence, the heavyness of music, the dark theme of the lyrics, the image of a scary band, and theatrical (sometimes horror) stage action, made AKA dubbed by many music observers as Heavy-Metal Pioneers in Indonesia.
Many say that AKA is “Black Sabbath of Indonesia, ”. We do not agree. AKA stands before Black Sabbath . The Surabaya band was founded in 1967, while Sabbath was only founded in 1969. Both released their first album in the same year, namely 1970.
For the business of heavy-metal pioneers in the world, in some music forums it actually mentions the names Blue Cheer and Mountain, rather than Black Sabbath.
Although dubbed the Godfather of Indonesian Heavy-Metal, it does not mean that AKA has no blemish. AKA also made several albums with pop-Malay nuances and pop-qasidah like Indonesian popular bands at the time. | 2019-04-24T23:46:21Z | https://johnkatsmc5.blogspot.com/2018/11/aka-do-what-you-like-1970-indonesian.html |
My bishop says that everyone has his own cross. Our job is to figure out what it is and take it up, cheerfully and with faith that God will give us the strength to carry it.
What is my cross? I've been thinking about it a lot during the past few weeks, in preparation for my Advent confession. Of all the things I struggle with, what particular burden did God intend for me to bear? And how can bear it unto salvation, for myself and for those around me?
When I consider my trials of the last year, the things that have stretched and pushed me out of my comfort zone and into despair, the recurring theme is that I cannot do enough for my family and friends; there is simply not enough time, not enough lunches or e-mails or handmade gifts, to properly love all of the people I love.
Can love be a cross? Is it possible that I simply have too many friends?
The idea sounds ludicrous. And several years ago, when I received an e-mail from someone who apologized for having been irresponsible in cultivating too many relationships, spreading himself thin beyond what he could reach, I was taken aback. But over the years I've remembered his words again and again, each time with a greater degree of sympathy, until I now think I could have written them myself.
It's never fun to have someone break up with you; in fact, it's downright miserable. But what about the person doing the breaking up -- the person who knows she is doing the right thing, but hates to do it? What about the awful feeling of having caused someone else pain, coupled with the inability to do anything to alleviate it? That is what I feel each time I have to say no, each time I don't call or miss the party: as if I'm letting you down, allowing my humanity to get in the way of our friendship. If only I could finish my work more quickly, go to bed a little later, slide by with a little less alone time! If only I could do what I want instead of what I don't!
I stand in church and cannot hear the life-giving words of the Gospel; instead, my eyes drift over the congregation, resting on each brother and sister I have not reached out to the way I wanted. And herein is the problem, I think: in the end, it's not about others at all, and certainly not about following the path God intends for me. It's about running my life the way I want to run it, setting my own priorities and calling all the shots myself; trying to be everyone's best friend, everyone's rock. But there is only one rock, and He is Christ.
So, dear friends, your Christmas cards are going out late for a reason. Just thought you should know.

First let’s talk the “yes”, which is actually the easy part of the answer. The best diet out there is the one that you can stick with and enjoy (as much as you can during a diet) while living a happy and healthy life. If cutting out carbs makes you happy, then by God cut them out! If eating nothing but vegetables is your go-to, then do it. But if you’re “diet” is turning you into a crazed murderer because you can’t stick to it or enjoy certain foods; then you should probably try something else. Want to know what The best diet for YOU is? It’s the one that doesn’t seem like a diet at all! It’s the diet that fulfills your nutritional needs while helping you recover, train, function, AND achieve the results you want. Mind. blown.
Now, it’s time to talk about the “no”. Why isn’t there a diet that works better than the rest? Well, because no matter how different these diets seem, they have one thing in common; negative energy balance. This is the relationship between the calories (energy) you take in to the calories you use on a daily or weekly basis. at the end of the day, the random diets popping up everywhere just cause a negative energy balance; which in turn causes weight loss. if you eat less calories than you use on a daily basis you will lose weight. And do you want to know a fun fact about this rule? there is no way around it; if you don’t eat enough that scale will change! Oh, what about your friend Susan who has been only eating 1,000 calories for two months now and has gained weight? no Susan isn’t some mystical creature defying the laws of science. She probably just doesn’t understand everything that goes into this simple, yet complicated law. Does she know what her base metabolic rate is? What about the thermic effect of food? is she keeping track of neat and physical activity? what do her cortisol levels look like? These are just a few of the underlying factors you need to account for when it comes to energy balance. Want to learn more about weight loss and all the factors that play into it? Check back next week when we cover everything from metabolism & hormones to the thermic effect of food and other energy balance scenarios!

FACINGa career change doesn’t compare to dealing with a full blown,mid-life crisis. Nor is it as easily understood. Because whoever owns the crisis – you or someone else – faces distorting emotions, conflict and anxiety.Andside-steppingreactiveand vulnerable work colleaguesis impossible!
Psychologists often talk about sucha crisis in terms of work-life balance, under or over-employment, and dreams vs achievements and while manypeoplesail through their mid-career years hardly noticing any change, some others are deeply conflicted – changing not just their job but friendships, partner, career, even relocating to a South Seas island or ending up in a prison of their own making.
The mid-career crisis occurs when the unconscious expectations of ‘success’imbued in early life is achieved or lost. Success can be defined here as marginally out-performing your parents in terms of income, influence and status midway through your working life, taking in to account the natural growth from one generation to another.
Success at this point is measured by some discerniblemarker event or signifying achievement. Or a series of related events. Although there is no strict timetable this often occurs in late 30s or early 40s, or nearingtheir parent’s age, when - exiting puberty –they see their parents (and their place in society) as an adultfor the first time. Thereby unconsciously implanting images of how success might look like for themselves.
An event (which can trigger the crisis) may be positive or negative. Positive marker events – signaling success, or winning (according to your script)– can be attaining the title of‘Chief Executive’, ‘Partner’, or ‘Professor’; buying a house in an up-market suburb; paying off the mortgage; securing yourchildren a prestigious, private school education; starting a business; being published; or becoming Club President. Negative eventsare the opposite of course, and being marked as a “failure”are consequently often accompanied by plunging emotions, feelings of inadequacy and fearfulness.
Listen carefully when people talk about realising their goals, and you will find winners and losers. Winners proudly say “I was made Manager before I turned 30”, losers complain about ‘missing out’ or being ‘victimized’. And a 3rd group also appears - ‘Almosts.’ Almosts get close to their objective but don’t quite make it. They say “I almost got to be a manager but the company got taken over” or sometimes they say “at least I got to be the Acting CEO for 6 months”.
Winning or losing also explains why many executives begin to question their choices mid-career and wrestle with questions like starting their own business, moving to a more exciting (or safer) ‘industry’ or doing more study.
Prompting such questions might be a disrupting call from a headhunter, the imminent prospect of a younger boss, disillusionment withthecorporate lifestyle (and an expanding waistline), an exhausting travel schedule, or the endinga run of fat bonuses.There is also a dawning realisation that from now on there may be fewer opportunities on offer, and dimmer prospects.
Burnout is closely associated with the mid-career crisis and winning or losing. Winners, Losers and ‘Almosts’can all suffer burnout! Many Winners, having fulfilled the unconscious programming of their parents simply don’t know what to do next; they feel lost, directionless and crave a repeat of past success – where the way forward once seemed clear. Today this is evident by the number of internet millionaires who, having built a successful business, sell and set out to do it all over again. Nothing new in this by the way - it has always been so!
Losers often find the effort of pursuing their goals too much and give-up by quitting or dropping-out. Others battle on complaining to anyone who listens, but without a deeper understanding and reassessment of their goals, are doomed to continue unhappilyto the point of becoming ill (physically or psychologically) and only marginally employable.Still others sabotage their careers in order to start again, often in another city or country.
Burnoutoften takes a deep toll on personal and professional relationships.Losing direction erodesconfidence, status and lifestyleadding pressure to fragile marriages of any kind,contributing tobreakdownand accelerating the downward spiral.
An Identity crisis happens when people get trapped in to pursuing the wrong roleand acting out someone else’sdreams (their parents, grandparents, or aninfluential figure from their youth such as a coach, teacher, or mentor). So strong is the inner voice that they live the life someone else wanted for them, rather than find (and therefore live) their own.
Some ICs continue to pursue roles envisaged for them that may have long disappeared (along with the travelling salesman). By 30 they seem somehow ‘old’. Owners of this kind of ICmay be easily spotted: they are late adapters, avoiding new technology, social media, and mobile phones if they can; and their tastes, music and interests seem (and often do) belong to a past generation.
Someothers aremuch less obvious: because even though they know in their hearts that they are trapped (somethingtheyrigorously deny), they find it impossible to escape the incredibly strong power of parental programming that holds them there.
The mid-life crisis usually occurs somewhat later. Like the MCC this too can triggered by many things: being ‘overtaken’ by one’s more powerful children, the noticeable aging (or the passing) of parents, a premature but age relatedphysical injury (e.g. a hip replacement) or the outstandingly notable success of peers (who may be invited to join prestigious Boards)or critically, facing the ignominy of redundancy or retrenchment.
All at once there is a glimpse of mortality and the realisation that there is an end to the tunnel to add to the melancholy of burnout and identity issues! And in spite of many past successes and minimalfailures, the MLC acts asa forceful reminder thatsome dreams and potential may never be realised. Amidst a wave of emotions and sometimes great turmoil,comes a creeping fear of lost opportunity and a life squandered.
Survivingacrisis Mid-careermight beeasier resolved than laterMid-lifeissues which sometimes require specialist counselling. But it is not straightforwardeither because half your working life is over and it is difficult to do after making that kind of commitment! But if you resolve to do something,anything, however difficult, it means revisiting, then renegotiating the contract you made before youembarked on the journey.
(iii) determining how these might be applied to the future.Not at all easy to do – but by no means impossible either! There are a number of smart techniques and tools around to help the discovery process.
If you can achieve this, you will see a lifeand career lying ahead without the unknown hurdles that causeadversity. A future based upon your own conscious, rational and autonomous choices, not someone else’s. You may even turn a dream that was impossible to achieveinto a series of daily pleasuresand profound satisfaction. | 2019-04-26T12:42:22Z | http://theshortlist.com.au/how-to-survive-a-mid-life-crisis/ |

In Lake Malawi, there are three main types of cichlid. Mbuna, ‘rock-dwellers’ mostly feed on the algae on the rocks they live around. Therefore, their diet should reflect this in being vegetable-based. Haps and Peacocks are usually bigger, living in open water, and therefore have a diet that is much more varied. These fish will eat anything including bloodworm without the issues that mbuna would have (although moderation is the key word when it comes to protein-based foods).
As with humans, many say that ‘variety is the spice of life’ when it comes to these fishes' diets. Now, it may not seem so important with fish, but mbuna are renowned for having poor digestive systems and so a varied diet (and knowing what to avoid) will help them live long and happy lives.
Pellets – this is the staple food for most aquarium fish. A particular favourite of many breeders is New Life Spectrum; the Cichlid formula is specifically designed for these fish and claims to bring out the best colours in these fish. New Era is another popular one which mbuna love: it’s not high in protein (something you need to watch out for with mbuna) so it is a great addition to their diet. Hikari is another dry food brand for Cichlids.
Spirulina – a good food to vary their diet, which can come in pellet or flake form. It is a vegetable-based food, substituting algae which would be their natural source of veg. Healthy, and they seem to like it. Do not feed them a lot of this; it has been linked to causing black spots on the fish. Nothing that will affect the health of the fish, but it may alter the appearance of these colourful fish. Once or twice per week is recommended.
Home-based food – lettuce; broccoli; peas; cucumber; norri. All of these green veggies are great for mbuna and their health, again taking the place of algae in their artificial tank environment. There are many ways in which you can feed them these foods. Finely chopped and washed, or blended and frozen into cubes. With peas, de-shell them and maybe boil them if you want to make them softer. Cucumber can go in in an inch-long chunk, attached to something heavy to weigh it down onto the bottom. This will keep your fish busy for a while, as they chip away at the large chunk of food. Garlic is also another great food. Make sure it’s finely chopped and maybe put it in with something else. It is great for Malawi Cichlids’ health and immune system. There’s loads on these foods on the internet, and can be a cheap and fun way to feed your fish – watch them annihilate the new veggie foods that you give them. All these foods can be combined and whizzed up in a food processor, pored into ice cube trays, and frozen to be fed to your fish.
Meat – to be used with caution. In you’re keeping Haps, they like a bit of variety, so foods such as chopped up prawns, daphnia, mysis and brine shrimp would be a good addition to their varied diet. You should only aim to feed them these protein-rich meaty foods twice a week, to prevent digestive illnesses. Mbuna will also enjoy the occasional treat of brine shrimp, but this should be a very rare occurrence – feeding them this regularly will result in diseases and potential death.
Bloodworm – these worms may be alright with South American Cichlids and other fish, but African Cichlids’ digestive system is much longer, resulting in meaty, protein-rich foods clogging up the digestive system. This then leads to Malawi Bloat, which is very hard to treat and can kill your fish.
Meat (again) – things mentioned above, like brine shrimp, are fine in moderation. Other things aren’t worth the risk. As I’ve already said, African Cichlids’ digestive tracks really aren’t suited for meat, so beef-heart, chicken or any other meaty foods like this are a no-go.
Moderation is the key word with these fish. If you feed them too much of anything, particularly protein-rich foods, you will end up experiencing tough problems such as the dreaded Malawi Bloat. This can be treatable, but will most likely result in the death of the fish.
Be sure to remove any uneaten food from the tank as well, as it can cause ammonia spikes and problems with the filtration.
So all in all, the key points are: small amounts often; variety; and little protein.
Thanks for this post! I am definitely feeding my peacocks and haps too much. The only time my water is sparkling clean is when I use a diatom filter which is annoying to setup and i have 2 canister filters on my 135 gallon tank. | 2019-04-20T17:00:23Z | http://www.ashley-kirk.com/2012/06/malawi-cichlids-diet-guide.html |
As an amateur photographer, London has become my playground- so many secrets streets filled with hidden gems. So get excited because I’ve comprised a list of places you must check out with your camera. And now that summer is over and the summer times blues have probably kicked in, it’s the perfect time to roll on out with your camera. The list of places ranging from hipster district like Shoreditch to pretty and picturesque areas like Notting Hill. So, don’t be glum, this list has got you covered.
Shoreditch: a hipster’s hideaway. Shoreditch is known for its walls of art almost everywhere you turn so you won’t be out of things to take photos of. Secret tip: in order to find these gems, work through every corner you see- it’s also more exciting when you get lost. This area has tons of restaurants and desert places too: check out @darksugars for some intense hot chocolate chocolatiness (perfect as the temp drops).
Notting Hill is renowned for its pretty doors and posh eatery’s. This place is perhaps one of the prettiest places in London. The houses have doors in all shades of bright vibrant colours that’ll be sure to treat those blues. The houses are all beautifully kept and they make perfect backdrops for an OOTD or adding some colour to your Instagram portfolio. Not too far from Notting Hill train station is Holland park which worth a visit if you want to check the famous Kyoto Gardens or escape the concrete madness of the city.
Whitechapel lies in the heart of the East End. The great thing about this place is that every street has a hidden secret, from artwork to restaurants you’ll never know what you’ll find- walking into one street leads into another, it’s like a crazy maze game. There’s some pretty cool street art around this area too and it’s worth it to walk.
Brixton is best known for its vibrant culture mainly stemming from its Caribbean community. The first time I visited this place I felt an upbeat vibe. Not too far from the underground station is Windrush square where you’ll find the ‘Black Cultural Archives’ which has work covering areas of African and Caribbean heritage and culture if you’re interested in that area its worth a look.
5. Secret Streets of EC3.
The city of London has a long history of back streets; Like hidden compartments that run behind the busy city streets. What you’ll find is another world, quiet and reserved a stark contrast from the busy central city streets. So, when you find yourself tired of the lurid streets of London, disappear into the alleys of the city, where there’s even more to discover.

"The SaxMan" Wayne Sulc is our featured perfomer and co produced the cd. Writing two of the songs, and arranging 12 of them. Wayne drove this project from inception to completion. Bringing the experience of 3 prior cd projects and years on the stage with local legends, Wayne's compulsion to present his intention was what made this project happen. Here's a taste of his back ground.
Tommy Lepson, The man with the pipes!
Tommy has contributed his voluminous voice and powerful B3 sound to expand our horizons and open up our audience.
Here is a piece of his back ground.
Tommy has appeared on shows with everyone from Chuck Berry, The Righteous Brothers, James Brown, Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Kinks, to Captain Beafheart, Little Feat, NRBQ, and also at the White House three times. Tommy has recorded and or performed with Danny Gatton, Nils Lofgren (E Street Band), Jeff ”Skunk” Baxter (Doobie Bros., Steely Dan) Duke Robillard, Kim Wilson, Tom Principato, The Nighthawks , Root Boy Slim and The Assassins (Jimmy Thackery). He has received numerous Washington Area Music awards, and in 2006 was inducted into the Wama Hall of Fame.This year. An evening with The Tommy Lepson , either live or on disc, is a musical journey that will rock you, move you with emotion, tickle your funny bone and make you shake your tail feather. So come on out and hear the voice that Little Feat’s Shawn Murphy calls ”one of the best”.

Working in the Washington metropolitan area for the last 25 years, Steve has performed clubs, venues and stages with some of the most well known local bands and musicians. Composing in the funk fusion style, Steve penned many of Urban Funks tunes, and is the featured arranger on “Heroes And Legends”.
Bassist Mike Davis was raised outside of Chicago. His approach to bass was influenced initially by the gritty blues/rock oriented sounds of that area, which he brought out to Baltimore with him., Since relocating to Baltimore, Mike has been fortunate enough to play with some of the area’s best original-music bands, spanning the spectrum of metal, roots, R&B, and light jazz. Recording with these bands, Mike has appeared on more than a dozen releases, (Urban Funk, SaxMan & Friends, Naked Blue, Mutt, Common Bond, and others) some distributed internationally. Performances have featured numerous regional performances, tours of the entire East Coast and of Europe. These opportunities have included an opening spot for “Foreigner”, plus a featured spot on a national cable show. When not trying new approaches to music such as applying a fretless bass to metal music. Mike sometimes ventures out to sea to support ocean explorations conducted as part of his day gig.
Drummer Gary Crockett puts the FUNK into Urban Funk with a hard-hitting, deep groove honed, over many years of playing in a variety of musical situations. Grateful to work with a talented and diverse group of musicians such as this, he states "Making music with this group of players is a rare treat. I'm always looking forward to our shows."
Starting out on drums as a youngster in the Washington, DC suburb of Takoma Park, MD, and studying under the legendary and notorious DC jazz drummer Walter Salb, Gary had no idea what the life of a musician would entail. He began touring the southern US starting in the mid-70's through the mid 80's, soaking-up the laid-back culture and sweet, swampy sound of southern R&B, rock and soul, while playing and recording in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with the great Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, former Jackson Five and Mick Fleetwood's Zoo guitarist, Gregg Wright, through much of the 70's. Starting the early 1980's in Shreveport, LA, he moved on to become a founding member of Warner Brothers recording artists, Private Life, and become a short-term member of former Rod Stewart, Rick Derringer and Steppenwolf guitarist Danny Johnson's band, The Bandits. In that whirlwind of growth he shared stages with legends such as Bob Marley & the Wailers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dr. John, Levon Helm, Eddie Van Halen, Chuck Berry, The Neville Brothers, Dickie Betts & Great Southern, Freddie King and many others!
Returning home to the Washington, DC area in 1984, and for nearly the last three decades, Gary has continued to be an in-demand live and recording drummer for many great musicians in the always vibrant DC concert and music club scene, while also performing for three US Presidents, twice at The White House! He has become involved in music production, producing CD's for singer/songwriter Marge Calhoun and guitarist Bobby Thompson, both featuring ex Gil-Scott Heron and current Warren Haynes (Allman Bros/Government Mule) sax player, Ron Holloway. Along with Urban Funk, he's currently found in venues with Urban Funk and WAMA award-winning vocalist and B3 organ whiz Tommy Lepson, legendary boogie-blues man Catfish Hodge, country artist Wil Gravatt, WAMA award-winning guitarist Dave Chappell, blues man Linwood Taylor and with Lepson and guitarist Thompson in a new rock-blues project, Blueheart Revival.
Currently calling Fredericksburg, VA home, Gary can be found up and down the US east-coast, bringing the beat to those in need of a soulful, "Urban Funk" infusion!
Dave Chappell, a Washington, DC native, is one of the most sought after and respected musicians in the area. For the last several years, he has won the Washington Area Music Awards(WAMMIES) for 'Musician of the Year', 'Rock Instrumentalist of the Year', and 'Roots Rock Instrumentalist of the Year'.
He has performed with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends Jerry Lee Lewis, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Percy Sledge, Johnny Johnson, and guitar wizard, Danny Gatton.
He can be heard frequently at area clubs such as JV's Restaurant, State Theater, the Birchmere, Bethesda Blues and Jazz, and Picadilly's Pub - performing with DC area favorites Tommy Lepson and Bruce Swaim. And from time to time, Johnny Neel from the Allman Brother's Band and Gov't Mule.
Calls Dave a "guitar whiz"... and in an article about the Washington Area Music Awards "The awards came so fast and furious for Chappell, he didn't even know he'd won five until somebody asked him if he was taking the rest of the year off to celebrate his haul." | 2019-04-25T22:15:48Z | http://urbanfunkdc.com/band_bio |

Upon the successful completion of one of a college or university’s sets of courses or academic programs, a student is awarded proof of this accomplishment in the form of a diploma.
What is a diploma in physical activity? A diploma in physical activity is given to graduates of a program during which they are trained in the methods of safe bodily exercises and how to use them to live a strong and healthy lifestyle. Coursework toward a diploma in physical activity also involves a fair amount of scientific learning. Classes in biology, anatomy and even chemistry are all crucial elements that one must know in order to work effectively in this field.
Aside from the obvious benefits of being able to tailor your lifestyle to be as physically optimal as possible, a diploma in physical activity also gives you the know-how to help others with similar goals, should you wish to pursue that avenue.

Perhaps you want to own your own business where you meet with clients and help them to reach their own fitness and health objectives, crafting diet plans and fitness regimens for them to implement into their daily lives. You could also get your teaching credentials and use your knowledge to instruct physical education if that appeals to you.

You would think that a metropolitan area that overall has lost jobs over the last decade and a half would be suffering a brain drain as the youngest and brightest head elsewhere.
But apparently, it's not so. According to new research from a guy who usually gets his facts straight, Chicago has held its own in recent years when it comes to attracting the highly educated. And, by some measures, the city actually has improved its relative standing. That may explain a few things about the region's bifurcated economy.
The report comes from Aaron Renn, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative New York-based think tank. For many years he lived here, and he has taken some glee in puncturing claims from local boosters of great economic success.
What Renn did is take a look at the 28 metropolitan areas that lost either population or total jobs between 2000 and 2013. Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and other Midwest burgs make that list, but—perhaps surprisingly—so do San Francisco and San Jose, Calif.
Almost all of them actually added workers with at least a bachelor's degree, despite the expected "brain drain," Renn reports. And Chicago was well above the average, with a 32.5 percent hike in those with college degrees and a 6.2-percentage-point increase in the share of the population with a degree.
Interestingly, the latter figure ranks well, not only among the 28 metros that lost jobs in that period, but also among the 100 biggest metro areas nationally, where Chicago ranked 21st.
By a separate count—how fast our college-graduate workforce grew, compared with the national average—Chicago was dead even, with no change in its so-called location quotient. And a lot of other cities that are considered magnets for the highly educated actually lagged, including Austin, Texas; Denver; Minneapolis; Seattle; and Washington, D.C.
Chicago and a lot of cities did lose educated workers to out-migration, Renn concludes. But they gained even more from people moving in.
"These cities largely accomplished their objective of boosting brain power and are making positive strides in terms of college attainment," he writes. "The brain gain is cause for celebration."
I suspect the data at least partially explain why parts of the Chicago area appear so prosperous, but others remain caught in the Rust Belt syndrome. The greater Loop and many suburban office districts are doing fine at attracting talent, but older blue-collar neighborhoods continue to sag.
Someday, maybe the decline of factory jobs at least will bottom out. Meantime, half of the local economy is doing pretty well, and the other half suffers. | 2019-04-25T07:53:59Z | https://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20150827/BLOGS02/150829859/manhattan-institute-says-chicago-has-lured-highly-educated-workers |
November 15, 2012. 97-minute dharma talk given by Thich Nhat Hanh from Upper Hamlet at Plum Village. The sangha had just begun the 90-day Rains Retreat (Winter Retreat). This is the third dharma talk of the retreat with the theme Are You The Soulmate of the Buddha? The talk was originally given in Vietnamese and this English translation is provided by Sister Chan Khong.
Reviewed the four (psychic) powers from the last talk (11/11/12). We also review mindfulness, concentration, and insight. How do we practice these? Practicing Right View. Right Speech. Right Action. These things are preparing our karma. Karma doesn’t mean bad. Practicing generosity. Dana. Enlarge your heart and accept yourself and others. A bodhissatva has the capacity to enlarge their heart. Embrace the whole cosmos. But this depends on your Right View obtained from mindfulness, concentration, and insight. Interbeing. The most important teaching from the Buddha is Right View and it comes from your practice. It isn’t about reincarnation, retribution, etc.
Today we now discuss a sutra with commentaries on the middle path. Chapter 15, the first two Gathas. All the dharma has no self. Nothing has a seperate self. Everything is a notion. The Dharma Seal is the true teaching of the Buddha and contains impermance, no self, and nirvana. Is there a permanent soul? Thay continues further with these teachings of the dharma seal.
July 14, 2012. 111-minute recording given at Upper Hamlet, Plum Village by Thich Nhat Hanh. This is the sixth dharma talk of the Summer Opening and the beginning of the second week. We begin with instructions on listening to the chant, followed by listening to the name Avaloketeshvara. The main talk begins about 40-minutes into the recording.
The third exercise of mindful breathing is about our body. Getting in touch with your body. True life is only possible with concentration and mindfulness. We learn to stop thinking so we can feel. The secret of meditation is to bring the mind in touch with the body. In the here and the now.
Mindfulness is the first energy. This bring concentration. Followed by insight. Three kinds of energies. They are within. Breathing in, I get the insight that I am alive. There are many insights like this.
When we each practice like this, we develop a collective energy and we can change the world. Just these three kinds of energy.
The second exercise is to follow your in breath all the way through. And the first is to be with your breath.
At 1:25 into the recording, Thay responds to a few questions on the topic of fear submitted by Self Magazine. How do you make good use of the energy of fear to produce good things?
Finally, tips on how to participate in a peace walk.
April 30, 2012. 90-minute dharma talk by Thich Nhat Hanh from Lower Hamlet in Plum Village during the 12th annual Francophone Retreat. The talk is given in French with English translation. This is the second dharma talk.
We all have a spiritual body. We practice with our body as well as our mind. The body and the mind are together. Bhavana. To cultivate, produce. We need seeds, soil, water, etc. We want to cultivate the good seeds. Cultivate understanding and love. We use mindfulness. And mindfulness brings the energy of concentration. Then we arrive at the energy of insight. This is the Buddhanature.
Thay describes pepple meditation as a method to be truly present. Then we can use the mantra, Darling I here for you. In Plum Village, we also use the Five Mindfulness Trainings, the basis of which is Right View.
We continue with teachings on being, non-being, and the noble eightfold path.
Dharma Talk Francophone Day 2 from Plum Village Online Monastery on Vimeo.
April 2, 2012. 115-minute dharma talk given at The American School in London by Thich Nhat Hanh. The sangha is on the UK and Ireland Tour and this is part four (and final part) of the Educators’ Retreat: An Exploration of Mindful Education.
Memorizing gathas to help us establish mindfulness. There are four domains of mindfulness: body, feelings, mental formations, and objects of mind. Mindfulness can help us be together in these four realms. Once we have established mindfulness, we can have concentration. The final kind of energy is insight – this can liberate you from your fear. This is not the product of your thinking, it is the insight of Interbeing. True education should be based in this insight of Interbeing.
In order to see things, we need an organ (for example, the nose to receive oder). The organ of thinking it is called manas, and there is a lot of mis-perception in this organ. For example, the view of a separate self – this is at the base of all our complexes (inferiority, superiority, and equality). We can use mindfulness to gain the insight of non-discrimination. In the field of education, it is the same thing. The happiness of the students is the happiness of the teacher. We need non-discrimination to enjoy the teaching and the learning.
In the teaching of the four noble truths, the first truth is there is suffering. In education, the first thing we should do is identify the suffering and acknowledge it to each other. We have to see the truth so that real change can happen through a collective awakening. Thay continues with the application of the second, third, and fourth noble truth in our lives.
We learn about what is meant by sangha and how it can be applied to the community of teachers. What is suffering and why is it important? The last part of the talk looks closely at the Five Mindfulness Trainings.
Happy teachers will know how to generate understanding and love that will help the younger generation change the world.
A video version may be available.
September 17, 2011. 96-minute dharma talk with Thich Nhat Hanh from the Ocean of Peace Mediation Hall at Deer Park Monastery in Escondido, CA. The sangha is on the North American Tour and this is the first dharma talk for the Opening the Heart Vietnamese Retreat. The talk was given in Vietnamese and translated into English by Sr. Dang Nghiem.
We begin with a guided meditation on our parents. Opening the Heart. Thay teaches the corn story to illustrate the concept of continuation. This practice not just for us. It is for our parents, our children. This is non-dualistic way of thinking. We have both blood and spiritual ancestors inside of us. Where do you look for the Buddha? We all have Buddhanature. Do not look for the Buddha on the outside. We also have the dharma jewel. We have a method to practice. If the jewel is not shining than we need to learn how to polish. The third jewel is the sangha. What does a sangha practice? Mindfulness, concentration, and insight.
What is the relationship between the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha? Ate you a true cell in the body of the sangha and the dharma? What is continuation? The nature of things? The cloud and the tea. The child and the father. The corn seed and the corn plant. How do we live deeply? Enjoying each wonderful moment. To use our conditions of happiness. Practicing to generate Mindfulness, concentration, and insight. | 2019-04-18T16:29:46Z | https://tnhaudio.org/tag/insight/ |
Heavy Feather takes it back to the roots on their debut album Débris & Rubble. It is a raw, real and heavy riff-based rock. The band is influenced by the greats of the 70’s – such as Free, Cream and Lynyrd Skynyrd – and have been able to create their own style. It’s an individual sound and a whole new way to deliver really heavy and exceptional rock. Their high ambition has pushed them forward, making them proud of the roughness they perform on stage. The albums is set for release the 5th of April on The Sign Records.
Four heavily talented musicians have after many years of separate experiences decided to come together and create something new. The members have played with bands and artists as Siena Root, Lista Lystam Family Band, Rolf Wikström, Stacie Collins and Mårran. They all agree that the organic roots rock deserves a greater attention on the world’s rock scene today. Together they have found a sound that they have renewed in an exceptional way – and from that they created something completely own and unique.
A collaboration between these four talented musicians was inevitable, and has resulted in something new: with the raw details and authenticity, they produce exciting mergers into the world of rock. Airy riffs are packaged in a heavy sound – and in contrast, Heavy Feather delivers music leaving the listener in desire for more. | 2019-04-21T22:21:48Z | http://thesignrecords.com/?m=201901 |
Fitch Ratings says the market share of Turkey’s participation (Islamic) banks has remained broadly stable and growth is set to remain subdued in the short term due to the weaker growth outlook, the high interest-rate environment, the end to FC-indexed financing and asset-quality pressures.
However, the segment continues to offer reasonable medium-term growth prospects considering the strategic importance of participation banking to the Turkish authorities, its current low base, the recent establishment of two new state-owned banks and also of a centralized Sharia board, to facilitate product growth.
Participation banks’ non-performing financing (NPF) ratio was 3.8% at end-9M18, above that of conventional banks’ (3.2%). Credit risk remains high due to SME exposure, significant FC financing and exposure, to varying degrees, to risky sectors such as construction. Capitalization is moderate but capital ratios are sensitive to Turkish lira depreciation and further NPF growth. Segment internal capital generation is set to weaken.
The reliance of Islamic banks on wholesale funding is below that of conventional banks (9M18: 26% of total funding versus 40%), but refinancing risks are high due to high short-term maturing FC liabilities. FC liquidity at the foreign-owned, Fitch-rated banks is underpinned by shareholder support.
Fitch-rated participation banks Issuer Default Ratings are sensitive to a change in shareholders’ ability or willingness to provide support. A further deterioration in the operating environment would be negative for standalone credit profiles and could lead to downgrades of Viability Ratings. | 2019-04-22T14:47:59Z | http://www.globalethicalbanking.com/fitch-operating-environment-key-sensitivity-turkish-islamic-banks/ |

A thrilling adventure to experience the wonderful world of dolphins first-hand. These lovely mammals will display their sweetness as well as their most spectacular routines. An excellent lunch and relaxation by the pool will be the perfect end to this unforgettable day.
We leave the port and head to the Dolphin Discovery Dolphinarium in Punta Cana, where a truly thrilling experience awaits us.
Once there, we are welcomed by the dolphinarium staff, who will take us to the tank where we will have the chance to spend 40 minutes in the water and learn ho to **interact with dolphins**! We cannot fail to be amazed by the power and the speed with which these creatures perform their routines, but above all by their gentle nature.
The dolphins will pull out all the stops and charm us with their agile moves and joyous cries. By now **we will be the best of friends** so we will receive a lovely kiss and exchange a friendly "fin shake".
As well as swimming around freely with the sweetest mammals in the sea, we can hold on tight for **a thrilling ride on the back of a dolphin** – a truly unique experience!
But here comes the most adrenaline-filled moment, the **famous *foot push***: our dolphin friends propel us through the water by pushing us from the bottom of our feet!
After our experience with the dolphins, we will enjoy a **delicious lunch** (choice of 4 menus) with soft drinks.
We end the day **relaxing in the pool** and come away with amazing memories.
The transfer to the dolphinarium takes approximately 1 hour.
The tour does not include a guide; the instructors will provide the necessary information in English or Spanish.
Do not forget to bring your bathing costume, towel, sun cream, non-slip sandals or shoes and cash.
Pregnant women cannot take part in the activities but can observe from the edge.
Minors under 10 years of age can take part on their own if they are accompanied by an adult acting as an observer. * Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied in the water by a paying adult.
All participants must wear a life jacket, maximum size available XXL.
Participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing and shoes, a hat and sunglasses.
We recommend using biodegradable sun creams in order to protect the dolphins and their habitat. | 2019-04-21T04:37:56Z | https://www.costacruises.com/excursions/00/008g.html |
Written in 1997 by P.D. Brickley on the eve of the 50th Anniversary. Photos are scans taken from a copy of the 50th Annual Show booklet, printed in 1997.
We need to go back a little further to understand how it originated. In the local Vocation School which opened in 1937, night classes in Woodwork and VBuilding Constructin, Cookery, Needlework Crafts and Irish Classes including the cupla focal, plus Irish Drama and Irish Dancing, were important features of the school’s activities. In 1943 a night Discussion Group was formed. Similar groups started in Athy, Mooncoin and Kilmallock. Soon these three groups formed the Young Farmers Clubs organisation. In due course Clonaslee joined the Young Farmers Club movement. The early catalogues of Clonaslee Show state that the main aim of the Clubs was “To promote Agricultural Education with a view to greater effieciency and increased production”. Club activites included lectures, debates, discussions, competitions, experiments, film shows, socials and excursions. The local club literally travelled to the four corners of Ireland to see what was happening in other places in the farming scene.
Very soon the local ladies began to organise and in 1945 they formed the Clonaslee Guild of The Irish Countrywoman’s Association. The I.C.A. is a democratic institution, non-sectarian and non-political. Its aims were: (a) to brighten and make more interesting the lives of women in rural Ireland; (b) to foster and encourage Handcraft, ancient and modern; (c) to seek to improve health and general conditions in rural life; (d) to foster the love of the Irish language and culture. Both organisations down through the years were lucky to have available a succession of suitable, capable, committed leaders anxious to put their shoulders to the wheel to advance the common good of the community. They were not prepared to accept the status quo. It is surprising in view of the aims of the two groups that they were anxious to achieve some modicum of control over things that were happening around them. They knew that a belief in themselves was essential to success and this gradually attracted others who wished to make a contribution.
William James once wrote: “Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being”. He also wrote: “Great emergencies or crisis show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed”.
So the Y.F.C. and I.C.A., in an effort to go some way to achieving their potential decided on a joint effort. The sean-fhocal says: ‘Ní neart go cur le ceile’, unity is strength.
At a meeting of Clonaslee Y.F.C. held in the Vocational School on May 14, 1948 on the proposition of Mr. T. Brady, seconded by Mr. M. Fitzpatrick it was unanimously decided to hold a Produce Show on November 1, 1948.The Schedule of classes for Roots, Cereals, Vegetables, Flowers and Fruit were drawn up. The choice of classes in Dairy, Poultry, Cookery, Needlework and Crafts was left to the I.C.A. who had already readily agreed to cooperate in the running of the show.
The idea of a Produce Show was influenced by the fact that one member was familiar with a similar event which had been running for some years in Lissavard in West Cork. This is the home of one of West Cork’s four successful small co-operative societies. Unlike Avonmore – Waterford they voted against amalgamation five years ago. They still believe small is beautiful down there. We were also encouraged by our good friend, the late Steve Cullinan of Athy and his Y.F.C. members who started a Produce Show in 1944.
Committee:P. Delaney, P. Fitzpatrick, D Troy, J. Hennessy, D. Hogan, J. Malone, J. Quinn, M Hogan.
This last change fitted in with the change of dates for the Hurling and Football finals.
The Show remained a Produce Show up to 1957. On the occasion of the 11th Show on October 29, 1958 we took the bull by the horns and included Cattle Classes for the first time: Store bullock, non-pedigree heifer and Hereford bull calf. In 1960 pigs, including laege White and Landrace, made their appearance. In 1961 sheep entered the arena. We went to the dogs in 1967 when four classes for canines attracted 15 entries In 1968 we had our first Equine venture when generous prizes of £1.10s; £1 and ten bob drew six entries for the Best Brood Mare.
Over the years all these section have expanded considerably with the exception of pigs. This may seem strange in an area of very high pig population but producers are reluctant to remove their pigs from their modern, comfortable housing conditions to the less cosy environment of the Show Grounds. In 1948 we had 9 sections, 54 classes, 413 entries. In 1996 the catalogue included 17 sections, 189 classes and over 2,000 entries.
The catchment area from which entries were received expanded dramatically over the years. In 1945 entries came from five Leinster Counties; Laois, Offaly, Dublin, Kildare and Kilkenney. In 1996 we had exhibitors from 32 counties.
Over the first ten years the event was accommodated totally in the local Vocational School, thanks to Laois Vocational Educational Committee, apart from Irish dancing Competitions, the venue for which was the adjoining Creamery area. When livestock classes were added to the Schedule in 1958m outdoor space was needed. In this regard we engaged the generous support of local landowners, first in the adjacent land of the late Mr. William Furlong. In the early sixties we crossed the road to Mrs. M. Poole’s property. In the early eighties, when more space was required, the venue was in Mr. William Conroy’s land at Graigue, from where we transferred next door to the Clonaslee Co-Op farm.
In 1989 the show moved to its present location, the new and splendid Clonaslee Community Centre on its 15 acre site. This move was a great boost to the show, providing excellent facilities indoor for better and more attractive display of exhibits, office and press rooms, catering rooms plus adequated hsow grounds for livestock, grade stands and other activities. Our thanks to Clonaslee Community Council, in which many show people, are involved, for their cooperation and support.
Finance is a very vital aspect of running a show of this nature and some shows have ceased to exist because of problems in balancing the books. Inflation also plays a part. So far we have managed to keep money matters under control, thanks to a succession of capable Treasurers, general sponsors and many staunch friends of Clonaslee Show.
An important fund raising event in the early years was the Show Dance on Show night. In 1960 we went a bit crazy and launched into a Festival of Dancing, large Marquee, top Show Bands, the lot. After four years of this new type of Show business, we decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Also lady luck was not on our side. On one occasion the death of a prominent and popular parishioner coincided with Dance Week, on another the Pope died on Festival Week. In a third incident a severe storm levelled the Marquee, when the Savoy Showband from Waterford was on its way. The Show Dance on Show night was also discontinued as members having had a few weeks of constant endeavour and late nights were suffering the effects of show lag and were not in the humour for tripping the light fantastic. The figures for 1948 were total cost of prizes, printing, advertising, insurance, etc. came to £70.5s, in 1996 it was in excess of £12,000.
The Clonaslee show people believe that the Annual Show has played an important part in the general raising of standards in many aspects of farming and rural living. It has also created a confidence in the local Community that it can organise events of this nature very successfully and compete successfully with exhibitors for elsewhere. It is further evidence of a community that believes in itself and puts its best foot forward to preserve our valuable rural lifestyle and all that is best in Rural Ireland.

The museum, a seven-level structure with much of its exhibit space below ground, will rise between the Washington Monument and the National Museum of American History.
Frederick Douglass was black and that was enough for the Smithsonian Institution to bar the famed abolitionist from speaking at a lecture series intended to convince President Abraham Lincoln that he should end slavery as war divided the nation in February 1862.
A century and a half later, the country's first black president helped break ground on a National Mall museum meant to give voice to the African-American experience long ignored by the chief repository of U.S. history and heritage.
The Smithsonian's silencing of Douglass, who had escaped from slavery and rose to national prominence, was just one example of the museum's long neglect of black culture and contributions.
“Well into the 20th century, curators purposefully excluded African-American history,” said Richard Kurin, the undersecretary for history, art and culture at the museum complex.
Obama said the National Museum of African American History and Culture would ensure that the sometimes difficult, often inspirational role that blacks have played will not be forgotten.
The museum, a seven-level structure with much of its exhibit space below ground, will rise between the Washington Monument and the National Museum of American History. A bronze-coated “corona,” a crown that rises as an inverse pyramid, will be its most distinctive feature. Organizers said the bronze plates are inspired by African-American metalwork from New Orleans and Charleston, S.C., and that the design evokes African roots.
The museum will showcase Harriet Tubman's shawl, a Jim Crow-era segregated railroad car and Emmett Till's casket, as well as galleries devoted to military, sports and entertainment history.
“We will have stories that will make you smile and stories that will make you cry,” the museum's director, Lonnie Bunch, told The Associated Press.
Congress has pledged to provide half of the $500 million cost. The museum already has a gallery at the Smithsonian's American history museum with rotating exhibits to showcase its new collection and test different approaches with visitors.
The newest exhibit explores Thomas Jefferson's ownership of slaves and his advocacy against slavery, while also looking at the lives of six slave families who lived on his Monticello plantation in Virginia. | 2019-04-25T00:56:22Z | https://www.gainesville.com/article/LK/20120229/News/604133243/GS/ |

By making those decisions with Copperas Cove(TX) funeral homes you are providing yourself with definite activities at a time when many people have no idea what they are supposed to be doing and the shock of the person dying can make it very difficult to consider all of the necessary arrangements.
It is equally appropriate to hold a religious or a non-religious funeral and service. The decision about the type of service depends greatly on whether the deceased was a religious person or not.

For people wishing to organize a green funeral, you will be able to take the general guidance of funeral homes in Copperas Cove(TX).

During the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, President Bill Clinton and members of his administration pushed for the reduction of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Rwanda from over 2,500 troops to 270, with the remaining troops’ mandate being reduced to a mere observers’ role.
The U.S. government evacuated foreign --read: White-- personnel from Rwanda, and pretty much ensured the total success of the 100-day slaughter that occurred when peacekeepers were also pulled.
President Clinton later told Rwandans that he “did not act quickly enough after the killing began” in his 1998 address in Rwanda.
President Clinton did not fail to act as he told the world then. Actually, he actively pushed for a particular course of action.
The genocide began after the April 6 assassinations of the Rwandan and Burundian presidents. By April 11, U.S. government and foreign personnel were successfully evacuated from Rwanda.
President Clinton’s administration then strongly and successfully pushed for the reduction and evacuation of the peacekeeping force, by April 21, 1994.
On April 30, nine days after the reduction and complete evacuation of foreign personnel and pullout of peacekeeping troops, President Clinton acted bewildered and "shocked" in front of the world.
On April 7, 2016, the 22nd anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide, former President Clinton asserted that Black Lives Matter, in Africa, in one of his many responses to Black Lives Matter activists’ protests over his controversial crime and welfare bills, and comments by former First Lady Hillary Clinton.
The words were in reference to a Tanzanian shopkeeper who named his shop after presidential candidate, and his wife, Hillary Clinton.
According to former President Clinton, the sign was in appreciation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s work in the fight against AIDS.
On the day the Rwandan Genocide is generally commemorated, former President Clinton’s words rang hollow both in material and delivery. Instead, to us, they conjured up images, of White foreigners being evacuated from Rwanda to safety at the outset of the genocide.
The rest of us, the innocent civilians, Africans, were provided with neither the option of evacuation, nor the decency of protection; we were left to fend for ourselves, amidst a bloody war and genocide, come what may.
What about our Black lives; made immaterial to President Clinton and his administration?
The cynicism of his utterance “Black Lives Matter” in Africa juxtaposed to his administration’s comments and actions --or lack thereof-- in 1994 goes even deeper.
It is almost impossible to articulate the depth of betrayal felt at this profound act of political expediency.
While our countrywomen and countrynen were being slaughtered, at least somewhere in the United States, election-victory strategies were being mapped.
The trade of; 800,000 to 1,000,000 Black Lives.
To borrow Clinton's own words to the activists -- Tell the truth. | 2019-04-20T06:49:01Z | http://www.blackstarnews.com/us-politics/us-politics/how-much-do-black-lives-matter-to-clinton-rwanda-genocide |

I'm running MCA HD 2.0.2, freshly reinstalled on an Avid certified xw8200. All is well, except when I go into color correction mode there are no windows displayed in the prev, current, next panel. I've tried trashing my MC State settings, but it didn't help.
To clarify: the panel is there, and all drop-down menus, etc. But there are no video windows of any kind.
Yeah, I don't understand why the programmers did this, but it's in every version that I can remember (up to at least v2.1.7). By default, the video is hidden.
Select the Color Correction toolset. Click (in the upper right pulldown) and select "Unhide Video". Now you'll probably get a huge window of the three video panels, of which a significant part is offscreen. Slide the window around so you can grab a hold of the bottom right corner to resize it to fit your screen. Now you can place it as you like. Don't forget to save the newly revised Color Correction toolset.
Heading to the office right now to try this, but I'm sure you've nailed it. Thanks a million. I thought I'd lost my mind or something. | 2019-04-21T18:15:56Z | http://c2.avid.com/forums/p/4363/23378.aspx |
How do I know if my case is a General Services case? The General Services Unit is responsible for all cases at the OAC that do not involve a claim for Workers' Compensation benefits.
Please make sure to sign the letter or form and either mail it to the Denver Office of the OAC or fax it to 303-866-5909. If you wish your benefits to continue while you are appealing, make sure you state that in your appeal as well as notifying the county that you have appealed the decision.
In a non-Medicaid case a fully executed Representative Authorization form.
How long will it take to get a hearing? The rules relating to when your hearing will be scheduled are governed by the rules pertaining to the case type. As a general rule, your hearings will usually be scheduled for 6 to 8 weeks from the receipt of your appeal. | 2019-04-19T08:37:27Z | https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/oac/public-benefits |
When you http://acinnilo1974.soup.io/ are planning your schedule, do your best to refrain from scheduling classes that are too early in the morning or too late at http://grabovplacin1973.soup.io/ night. These classes can be http://rocknavipunc1982.soup.io/ very difficult, as you will often miss these classes due to the time.

In true pirate fashion, we are experiencing technical difficulties. Our computer finally died on us. We saw it coming but it could not have happened at a worse time considering all of the screen-printing jobs that we have going on. So, if we are working on a job for you and we have not sent you a proof yet, then the chances are that your job will be set back a bit. For those that we haven't spoke to yet, we will be contacting everyone via email once things are running smoothly again.

Villa Nilaya Bali Beach is a glorious haven of peace and quiet away from the maddening crowds of ‘tourist Bali’. Many of our guests love the Villa because it combines all of the conveniences of contemporary living with the charm of traditional Balinese life which they fondly remember from many years ago.
The Villa is approached on a little road from a secluded, tropical forest … bird life abounds, but as you enter the very private grounds of Villa Nilaya Bali Beach it’s the sound of the sea which will accompany you throughout your stay here.
Villa Nilaya Bali Beach was designed with total pleasure in mind … pleasure and relaxation.
The villa has four full-timeEnglish-speaking Balinese staff, with the two ladies – Tini and Ketut – being professionally- trained masseueses and chefs. They will look after you from the moment you arrive … so why wouldn’t you want to indulge in a daily spa with our beautiful organic products ? – our bathrooms are all partly open to the warm breezes of private gardens … nature surrounds you, and even when the tropical rains pour down, there is nothing more luxurious than reclining in your sunken bath watching the rain drops roll down a giant palm frond!
If you enjoy yoga, or always wanted to try, the timbered yoga deck upstairs with sweeping views from moutain to sea has room for 18 yoga mats (and we have enough yoga gear for a group of 18), and we can even arrange an expert -but very gentle- yoga instructor to come and give you some private tuition.
There are so many lovely places in the villa to relax, read, snooze, contemplate and meditate – including an exotic double swing bed from Rajasthan in India. But you’ll probably find that you’ll spend lots of time on the seadeck, cantilevered over the shoreline, with a thatched gazebo and two big daybeds to relax on – or even have a massage there!
Watch the sun rise of over Lombok Island and catch the sunset from here as you wind down with a drink after a lovely day.
With little fishing restaurants to discover you’ll be tempted to walk down the track for fresh seafood, but don’t move if you don’t want to!
Our staff will prepare you fresh and delicious dishes, some with a hint of Balinese spice, but always using the freshest ingredients – many herbs and vegetables being grown organically in our kitchen garden.
If you yearn to go farther afield, East Bali is full of surprises. You can head for the hills and visit the cultural centre of Ubud, visiting some of the most picturesque rice fields on the island along the way (the ones which appear on the postcards!), or you can head along the magical Seriya Coast Road, where cliff-top views onto palm-fringed, sandy white beaches beckon you closer.
Hundreds of colourful fishing boats line the coves and bays, many offering their services for a small charge to take you out for a bracing trip, from where you’ll enjoy the best views across to the volcanic peaks of Mt Agung and Batur.
Dive wreck snorkeling and diving are available within easy swimming distance from the shore at Tulamben and Amed. If you’re a little unsure, or a first-timer, you could hire the services of a dive or snorkeling buddy, for just a few dollars to keep you company and point you in the right direction and our driver will be able to make this an easy day-trip for you.
For more adventurous divers, the islands in front of Villa Nilaya – Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan – offer fantastic underwater adventures, and you can take a local outrigger across there for the day from the front of the villa.
Don’t want to go that far ? Pick up the boat anyway and take a joyride along the coastline towards Candi Dasa… it’s a lovely way to spend the afternoon.
If cultural activities attract you, then don’t miss the water palace gardens of Tirtagangga and Ujung, 30-45 minutes fom the villa. Formerly belonging to the kings of this region, they are botanical splendours, and we can arrange a special meal for you here if you wanted to do something really romantic!
Perhaps what Villa Nilaya Bali Beach does best of all is provide you with the beautiful surroundings to just be still, to experience Nature at close hand, to enjoy the interactions with the village people, who once greeted are very happy to walk on, leaving you to enjoy their island in peace.
We hope you’ll come and enjoy our hospitality soon. | 2019-04-21T04:58:10Z | http://www.villanilayabalibeach.com/life-at-the-villa/ |
We were speaking via FaceTime, obviously.
“Any Trump parallels in the script?” I asked.
Top Marx (L-R) Seth Sheldon, Matt Roper, Noah Diamond.
“A Brit pretending to be an Italian-American…” I said.
“So you are surviving,” I said.
“What does ‘sideshow’ mean in this context?” I asked.
“Nothing surprises me,” I said.
Jack and The Beanstalk opens at the Abrons Arts Center in New York on Sunday. Previews started yesterday.
“Break a leg on Sunday,” I said to Matt, when we had finished chatting.
Today, I watched three performers talking out of their arses. Hardly a new thing at the Edinburgh Fringe, you might think.
Except this was the much-touted Wild Bore comic theatrical piece at The Traverse in which Zoe Coombs Marr, Ursula Martinez and Adrienne Truscott perform with their naked bottoms (and occasionally with the rest of their bodies).
It is a knowingly self-referential post-modernist labyrinth of analysing and criticising critics and the performance itself with some wonderful surreal images – the sight of them running around naked and erect with their heads inside their own bottoms made me glad I never remember my own dreams and nightmares.
The self-referencing reminded me inevitably of that 1969 movie I am always banging on about in this blog – Anthony Newley’s Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? – You sit there thinking the movie is a self-indulgent mess and then, at one point, three ‘movie critics’ walk on the screen and start criticising it in detail for all the many faults you have just been thinking about. I sat through it twice when I first saw it, because I had no idea whether I liked it or not. I was still not sure after seeing it twice, but it was and is certainly addictive.
Nathan Willcock’s State of The Nathan at Moriarty’s also kept referring to itself and had a strangely straight, middle-of-the-road, middle-aged, non-Fringe audience happily sitting through and enjoying an hour of his (as he admitted to them) liberal Londoner comedy.
The indefatigably charismatic Jody Kamali was pretending to run a hotel – Hotel Yes Please – in a room in the actual Apex Hotel/Sweet venue in Grassmarket where he played multiple characters, integrated the audience into the show and unusually-for-him added some genuine personal stuff into a character playing another character. Apparently last year’s Fringe show was such a happy experience that, on the final night, he celebrated with his wife and the result is that he now has a daughter.
I think he will make a good dad.
He says he does not know why he did not open the 23 letters she sent him between 2000 and her death in 2011, some from a mental hospital.
But I do remember the late Malcolm Hardee, going through a bout of depression the like of which people would not imagine Malcolm Hardee had, telling me that he was only opening one in three of the letters he received through the post. The other two he threw away without even checking who they were from.
After tonight’s performance – well, performance is the wrong word – experience – someone said to me: “I have never seen Lewis show that sort of real emotion on stage before”.
Lewis’ shows are always one-offs. These ones almost go beyond unique, if such a thing were possible.
Which could also be said of Becky Fury’s show tonight at the Black Market. Well, she did not actually perform her prepared show but improvised 55 minutes around the audience which included a Polish social worker who came to Edinburgh for the Fringe last year and just stayed. He said he was attracted to her show title Molotov Cocktail Party because of what happened at Polish football matches.
Then there was the young Spanish couple who were there despite, it seemed, not actually being able to understand any English. Becky at first persuaded them it was a Christian show in which everyone had to bare themselves and managed to get the male half of the couple to strip off.
And then there was the American girl who arrived late. She said she played the violin and sewed.
Alas no, but she then took out her sewing and continued throughout the rest of the show while listening and participating. She said she was not a performer but did busk naked in Seattle, playing the violin.
I do believe this was and is true. But who knows?
In this blog four days ago, Martha McBrier mentioned that she had received a complaint about the fact that she plays a didgeridoo during her Balamory Doubtfire show – something that women are not allowed to do in Aboriginal culture. A white sociology professor in New York had accused her of racism, sexism and subjugating an entire culture.
The story was followed up, with more details, in Bruce Dessau’s Beyond The Joke site, on the Chortle comedy site and in The Scotsman.
Chortle carried quotes from Janet McLeod, producer of the Melbourne Comedy Festival show Aborigi-LOL, and Dane Simpson, a comedian from the Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay culture.
Tonight, I got a message from Martin Walker, who told me that, during the recording of his On The Mic podcast, Martha had admitted that the whole thing was a cunning stunt.
The didgeridoo appears on her flyer/poster and makes an admittedly brief appearance in her show so I do wonder if this is a stunt planned so far in advance that it is almost a work of art in its own right.
On the other hand, allegedly offending Aboriginal didgeridoo players might not have been a stunt at all but, on seeing the reaction, Martha decided to say it was a stunt to fan the flames of publicity and edge ever closer to a Malcolm Hardee Cunning Stunt nomination.
In this blog yesterday, a comedy performer whom I did not name was complaining about the way they had been treated by their director who had just said their show being performed at the Edinburgh Fringe could be directed from London without the director coming up to Edinburgh at all.
I was concerned to read about the performer whose director did not support him or her to bed in the show for the opening week in Edinburgh.
I served two 2-year terms on the Equity Theatre Directors’ Committee and recently attended a conference where this type of thing was discussed and strongly disapproved of. It gives professional directors a bad name and is not good for the industry!
– If both the performer and director are Equity members, Equity can help resolve and give assistance to the performer to make contracts clearer in future.
– There is a Fringe contract the performer might want to look at.
– If the director is an Equity member, the performer can report this poor behaviour to Equity.
– If the performer is an Equity member, then he or she can get further guidance on the matter and learn how to safeguard future dealings.
If neither the performer nor director are Equity members, I recommend the performer goes along to the Equity desk in Edinburgh.
Equity is running workshops at the Edinburgh Fringe which are great for professional development as well as for networking with proper professionals. | 2019-04-25T20:44:38Z | https://thejohnfleming.wordpress.com/tag/theatre-2/ |
Brentwood, Tenn.-based LifePoint Health saw revenue increase in the second quarter of 2016, while net income dropped.
LifePoint reported revenue of $1.6 billion in the second quarter, up 25.3 percent from $1.3 billion in the same period of the year prior. LifePoint said the financial boost was primarily attributable to its recent acquisitions of hospitals in Kentucky, Indiana, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina.
Although LifePoint saw revenue rise in the second quarter, the company said the loss of key physicians at one of its largest hospitals caused expenses to increase. "This resulted in additional professional fees, call pay, severance costs and recruiting expenses," said LifePoint.
The company also incurred the expense of implementing a new physician billing system at one of its recently acquired hospitals.
LifePoint ended the second quarter with net income of $20.1 million, down 59.6 percent from $49.8 million in the same quarter of the year prior. | 2019-04-22T08:59:15Z | https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/abrupt-physician-departures-take-toll-on-lifepoint-s-bottom-line.html |

Join sommelier Shar Peterson for a new class diving into an amazing wine region, little known to Americans: Valle d’Aosta.
The Asota valley is located in far northern Piemonte, on the Swiss border. It’s the smallest wine region in Italy in both size and production (only 36,000 cases total of DOC production), and it’s the highest elevation vineyards in all of Europe. Because of the high elevation, the phylloxera louse was never able to take hold, resulting in most vines being on their own rootstock (a rarity worldwide, but especially in Europe).
Some varieties that grow here you know well: Pinot Noir, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo. Then there some wonderful oddities: Vien de Nuts and Petite Rouge, plus many more.
Come learn about the region, the people, and the wines in this fantastic and beautiful corner of Italy!
Class starts at 5:30 and includes some small bites from the kitchen of Black Dog Cafe. | 2019-04-21T18:27:11Z | https://twincitieswine.com/event/wine-after-work-the-wines-of-valle-daosta-italy/ |

Times reporter Samantha Masunaga, offers brief insight into Senator Shaheen’s proposal, along with an overview of Women on 20s, the grassroots effort that seeks to put a woman on the $20 bill in time for the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote in 1920. In addition, ABC News offers a more in-depth look at the history behind the possible inclusion of a woman on American currency, while the National Journal features an interview with Susan Ades Stone, the executive director of the grassroots activist organization Women on 20s. Finally, the last link navigates to the Women on 20s website, where readers can learn more about the movement from the organization itself. | 2019-04-24T04:35:26Z | https://scout.wisc.edu/report/2015/0424 |
This is just a little note about the unexpected downtime some of you may have noticed this past week. We have had to move our website to a new host and everything is up and running again for most part.This does mean that if you emailed us or used the contact form we did not get your message. So if you haven’t heard from us please do get in touch again. Apologies for the inconvience and happy surfing!
"We’ve decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can."
Wired.com were inclined to think otherwise and instead the reason may have just as well been due to "the widespread criticism from the design community — condemning IE 8 for not defaulting to standards mode — coupled with lawsuits from the likes of Opera and the EU, played a large part in the decision."
No matter the real reason behind the new decision to enable the Standards Compliant mode as the default option. It will mean that Web Designers can at last hope for an IE browser that renders their web sites in similar or identical fashion to Firefox, Safari and other modern browsers which have been compliant all along.
In the long run It should mean a faster development cycle and more time spent on designing sites as opposed to writing alternative stylesheets to fix bugs and quirks in IE.
Remember that the end user of a well designed and functional web-site is the one who really benefits here.
Just stumbled on a very interesting project from PoolieStudios called Iconize (which in turn was inspired by this post from Ask the CSS Guy). The concept is simple: CSS code that would add little context sensitive icons next to your normal text links. If the link points to a PDF file, then add a little PDF icon next to it, if it’s an MP3 file, add a little sound icon, and so on.
What a great idea and a great implementation of CSS functionality that is seldom utilized. PoolieStudios are putting together a large collection of icons and are writing the CSS code to go along with them — you can grab the latest version here.

If you’re new to web design and wondered how to make your content a little bit more attractive—how to create a simple, yet elegant, frame to put your content in—then I’ve got a little tutorial for you. This tutorial uses Photoshop to create the image, but I assume no prior experience with it so anyone can attempt this simple illustrated guide. Without further wait, here’s my tutorial on making a smooth, rounded content frame. | 2019-04-21T18:53:54Z | http://www.pixelshell.com/blog/ |

I only count 16 feats. But your totals add up right. Just change . . .
And you're approved by me.
Hmm... I think that I forgot to change it after I have edited it several time but now I have corrected it.
Right now, you have 26 pp spent on combat, and Attack and Defense 7, which is 28 pp. What is the material that your X-ray vision cannot penetrate? Also, your initiative is +6, not +7. Once that's done, you're ready.
Ok I have fixed the X-Ray that it don't work on concrete and his int is now corrected to +6. For defense it is actually cost 12 pp because it got a extra defense points from the Dodge Focus feat.
Got it. The use of BDB was throwing me off, since I presumed that was Base Defense Bonus. You're approved. | 2019-04-19T18:32:39Z | https://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/157-death-eye-pl-7-master_pelle/ |

For those who weren’t happy with Panda Bear’s last album, Tomboy, or for those who can’t get enough of it – Tomboiled by Youtube user Patrick Cederberg is a seriously good re-imagining of Tomboy that integrates the transitions and sounds from the live show with the album’s recordings.

Our team is gearing up for next week’s American Association for State and Local History annual meeting in Kansas City. We’re excited to join public history professionals and volunteers for a few days to discuss the theme of this years meeting: Truth or Consequences. One of our Research Associates, Katie Chandler, will be presenting a session with Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage. Please attend the session and introduce yourself!
In their interpretive planning process, Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage asked the question, “What stories are missing or under-told in our current interpretation?” Come see how The Hermitage is learning from audience research and interpretive planning to reconsider how it communicates the complex and diverse experiences of life in the Jacksonian Era beyond the mansion. | 2019-04-22T18:52:20Z | https://rka-learnwithus.com/blog/2018/09/19/rka-2018-aaslh-meeting/ |

Actually, Le Yao Yao could swim.
When she was a child, there was a time that she had accidentally fallen into a pond. She nearly drowned, but fortunately, someone rescued her.
From that moment on, her father decided that she should learn how to swim.
At least, if she were ever to fall into the water again, she could save herself. After all, you can’t always rely on others to save you.
So, she joined a swimming class and actively pursued swimming.
In a few days, she learnt how to swim. Also, whenever she was home back in the 21st century, she would swim in the pool there as well.
But since Le Yao Yao was too angry just now, she didn’t want to come out. She was just holding onto her breath and sulking underwater.
However, after a minute or so, she needed to breathe, so Le Yao Yao quickly began to swim underwater towards shore.
When she came out, she heard a splash. It sounded like someone else had jumped in.
Hearing this, astonishment appeared on Le Yao Yao’s face. Then, she looked at the empty shore and realized the King of Hell had jumped into the lake.
Although the King of Hell had enough conscience to jump in to save her, it didn’t mean she could forgive him for his actions.
So, Le Yao Yao silently climbed ashore and disregarded the King of Hell.
She was very mad. He can take his sweet time searching!
Although Le Yao Yao was soaked, it couldn’t extinguish the raging fire within her. So, Le Yao Yao left and returned indoors without turning back.
Everyone was stunned. Le Yao Yao had said she was going to use the washroom, but she returned drenched?! They were all wondering what had happened.
Originally, Le Yao Yao was in a fowl mood. But when she saw how much everyone cared about her, she felt much better.
However, she didn’t want to tell them the truth. So, she said she ended up tripping over the lake because she was too intoxicated.
Since no one was sober, they actually believed her. Suddenly, the room erupted with laughter.
Hearing Ru Shuang’s suggestion, Le Yao Yao lightly nodded and agreed.
Although it was summer, wearing soaked clothing was still extremely uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Dongfang Bai stood up. Although there was a smile on Le Yao Yao’s face, he could also sense the slight resentment between his brows.
He wasn’t sure what happened between Le Yao Yao and Leng Jun Yu, but Dongfang Bai was certain it wasn’t anything good.
But since Le Yao Yao didn’t want to explain, he will not ask.
Since Ru Shuang was worried Le Yao Yao would catch a cold, she wouldn’t allow Le Yao Yao to walk her home.
So, Le Yao Yao made Ru Shuang promise she’ll get home safe and then they went on their separate ways.
Le Yao Yao hurried towards the direction of Prince Rui’s residence.
After she returned, she quickly washed up and then went to bed. She had a quilt wrapped around her body like a tube.
Due to the cool breeze, her mind was a bit dizzy. In no time, she went to see the God of Dreams.
But while she was experiencing her sweet dreams, someone in Ruyi tavern was falling apart!
It was a quiet night. But Leng Jun Yu’s heart had never experienced such fright before.
His thoughts were running through his mind like a whirlwind.
He still hasn’t found him!
The moment he thought of this possibility, Leng Jun Yu felt a strong fear; but more so, regret!
If he hadn’t been drowned in jealousy, he wouldn’t have forcefully kissed him.
Leng Jun Yu clearly knew how much “he” hated it whenever he did things without his consent.
Although Le Yao Yao was only a servant, he had quite a temper.
“He” didn’t like it when others tried to force him to do things he didn’t want to do. When “he” was mad, he would rage and even hit back.
But it was because Le Yao Yao was so unique and unmatchable that he likes him so much.
However, Le Yao Yao was missing now. Leng Jun Yu had been searching for so long, but he was still unable to find him.
Leng Jun Yu had never felt so discouraged and broken before.
It was as if a knife had stabbed into his heart.
If only he could turn back time…he definitely wouldn’t have forced him. Instead, he would only admire from afar….
But now, it was too late! He has no more chances!
Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu was heartbroken and could no longer suppress his sorrows. He made a huge splash and roared to the moon.
Leng Jun Yu’s voice was comparable to a ferocious beast. His volume was so loud that it went straight through the clouds.
“Senior brother, what’s wrong?!” shouted Nangong Jun Xi.
Nangong Jun Xi has never seen his senior brother so upset before. So, he was very concerned.
As for the depressed Leng Jun Yu, he slowly closed his eyes and wouldn’t make eye contact with Nangong Jun Xi. He put all the blame on himself.
He honestly has no idea who in the world had the ability to make his senior brother so sad.
All of a sudden, Leng Jun Yu reacted as if he had been shocked by lightning.
Based on Leng Jun Yu’s reactions, Nangong Jun Xi was sure something bad had happened between those two.
But Leng Jun Yu was in no mood to reply to Nangong Jun Xi.
Because, he realized he had been played!
The moment he recalled how unbearable the pain was, how scared he was to lose him, he felt like an idiot!
The more he thought about it, the more the flames ignited within his heart.
Scary…I can’t swim, and this just took a dark turn.
Better learn how to swim quickly, just in case you transmigrate and happen to fall into a lake or something.
lol. you have a good point. i’ll start in the summer.
ho ho ho our couple playing too much xD, thanks for the chap.
Lol i was also thinking the same thing!
Oh what a night.Prince Rui may not recover from this. I dread what tomorrow will bring to Yao Yao.
Le Yao Yao’s spicy and sour dishes sleep mumbling might have a extra oomph in the morning like her legs hitting Leng Jun Yu’s crotch again after waking up from his angry appearance.
Hohoho….. Seems like our little rabbit will be punish heavily by our furious prince!!!
Uh-oh!! I kinda think sleep will be out of the question tonight. | 2019-04-23T10:45:42Z | http://theeunuch.com/the-eunuch-is-pregnant/the-eunuch-is-pregnant-chapter-142?replytocom=7393 |

The Tasmania University Boat Club (TUBC) was formed in 1923 with the express purpose of sending a crew to inter-varsity in 1924, which was held on the Yarra on 31 May 1924, where they came fourth out of five crews. In the following year Tasmania was triumphant in winning the race. The rowing club continued to send an eight every year to inter-varsity until 1930 when it was held in Perth and the cost was too prohibitive. The boat club didn’t win another inter-varsity race until 1966 when they surprised many people, and then again in 1977 and 1986, and most recently in 1994.
In 1932 the Tasmania University Union SRC approved a grant to the boat club for £130 for a boatshed. The original boatshed was located at the entrance to Marieville Esplanade Sandy Bay (about where the Derwent Sailing Squadron is now located). In 1965 the club moved to a new boathouse built on reclaimed land at Marine Esplanade New Town Bay, behind the rugby grounds. The club occupied that site until May 2013, when the TUBC boathouse along with the St Virgil’s, St Mary’s, and Guilford Young College boat shed, and the Buckingham Rowing Club boatshed, all co-located at the south western end of the bay were demolished to make way for the new New Town Bay Rowing Centre.
The centre, which was built with funding from the Federal government and with the assistance of the Hobart City Council, provides new boat bays for the clubs listed above and the Tasmanian Institute of Sport rowing program. In addition in the centre section of the building there is a gym and amenities for both men and women downstairs and a function area and bar upstairs.
The TUBC is affiliated with the Tasmania University Union and Rowing Tasmania.
The current Leadership Group of TUBC and the coaching panel is listed below.
The club prides itself on catering for rowers at all levels from beginners through to juniors (U19) and senior club rowers, masters (>27years) through to rowers who aspire to represent Australia.
The competitive season commences in early October and finishes with the national championships in March. Pre-season training, mostly off the water usually commences in May.
The club has access to a fleet of new and near new boats for competition, and some older boats for beginners.
If you are interested in rowing at TUBC please contact either Mark Stott or Mick Casey (details above). | 2019-04-23T04:14:23Z | https://www.ntbrc.com.au/clubs-located-at-ntbrc/tasmania-university-boat-club/ |
Cat wine does not contain alcohol, but instead has catnip, which has a psychoactive effect on many cats. Around 50% of cats are sensitive to the effects of catnip, kittens are not sensitive to catnip until they are around 3 to 6 months old. If your cat is sensitive to catnip they will also be sensitive to cat wine. You might want to try giving catnip to your cat first to see if they have a reaction before going through the process of making the cat wine. | 2019-04-20T20:29:41Z | https://cutecatsinhats.com/make-cat-wine-home/ |

Valve has released a new software framework for Steam that will allows the digital distribution service's partners to improve the online performance of their games. The update was released late last week, and will likely allow multiplayer games to make use of a stronger online service to host better quality matchmaking and gameplayer performance in an online setting.
Steam has recently come under fire for some of its policies, especially those related to the platform's content curation system. With a bonafide competitor in the Epic Games Store beginning to entice developers way from Valve's digital distribution service, many have called for Steam to begin making some serious policy changes to compete. That change began with a recent change to Steam's user review policy that was meant to prevent review bombing from users who were dissatisfied with a game's decisions.
Access to the Valve network, which will give players protection from attack, what's being described as "100% reliable NAT traversal," and improved connectivity.
Tools for instantly estimating the ping between two arbitrary hosts without sending any packets.
A high quality end-to-end encrypted reliable-over-UDP protocol.
For those unfamiliar with some of the terminology, Valve is essentially giving away some extremely valuable online connectivity tools to its partners. The better connection that will come with these tools will still vary depending on what each player's access and location are, but Valve's data suggests that at least 43% of gamers will see a reduction in lag thanks to these changes. A further 10% of players will see their ping times drop by 40ms or more, which is an extremely useful change. According to the data, the biggest improvements will likely be in India and Europe, where a more pronounced number of users will experience noticeable differences in performance.
Valve's gesture to its developers isn't just one being made in good faith, though. The company needs to rework its image a little after some recent controversies, and the Epic Games Store has continued to push developer incentives as a big draw to that platform over Steam. Providing developers with the tools to give players better online experiences - and thus avoid any of the negativity that comes with problematic connections, especially at launch - could be an alluring factor in the decision many studios need to make soon between Steam and Epic. | 2019-04-26T01:44:33Z | https://screenrant.com/steam-online-speed-boost/ |

MARCOM's "Work Practices and Engineering Controls" HAZWOPER DVD Program assists facilities in complying with the employee training requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), and helps employees understand the nature and the "behavior" of hazardous chemicals, and reduce or eliminate potential exposure to hazardous materials in their work environments. Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these materials receive comprehensive training in this area. In 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste "from cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials. Areas covered in the program include HAZMAT work practices, HAZMAT engineering controls, The Site Safety and Health Plan, responsibilities of the Site Safety and Health Officer, ventilation systems, remote–controlled equipment, the use of eyewash stations, and more. The DVD program comes with a comprehensive leader's guide, reproducible scheduling & attendance form, employee quiz, training log and training certificate. This program can be used as the basis for approximately two hours of classroom training. | 2019-04-20T14:11:53Z | https://www.spill911.com/work-practices-and-engineering-controls-dvd-program.html |

There has been much hand-wringing and crystal ball reading in the days since Kinder Morgan announced its plans to cancel their Northeast Direct natural gas pipeline project. As usual, some of the analysis is spot on but most paint too broad a brush in identifying winners and losers, especially as it relates to consumers.
One of the biggest fallacies I’ve seen presented since Kinder Morgan’s announcement last week is that industrial consumers will be hurt from the fallout because they will not be getting the benefit of lower cost electricity from pipelines bringing in low cost natural gas. The truth is, that’s just not true in Massachusetts.
The reality is that even the worst case scenarios discussed at the beginning of this pipeline debate did not seem to support both the Kinder and the Spectra projects. And this was before the drop in the price of oil and the glut of liquefied natural gas, which is the real reason the Kinder Morgan project has been dropped.
This reality was quite clear in Attorney General Maura Healey’s study, which showed as its “base case” no need for more pipeline capacity even under the status quo—and demand is expected to continue to decline over time. It was under the “scenarios,” the portion of the study that looked at the “what ifs,” that the study turns to increased efficiency and demand resources to meet needs, e.g. if Pilgrim Power Plant were to shut down.
Attorney General Healey is indeed a “winner” for having initiated this study to capture the dramatic game-changing impact from low cost oil and LNG to the regional energy markets. Her study predicted what in fact happened this past February with the most recent capacity auction in the region where several new “dual fuel” generation units cleared the market at substantially lower prices than the two previous auctions.
Maine, on the other hand, is a clear loser. Maine Governor LePage was hoping to get a pipeline built to bring cheap natural gas to Maine, which has limited access to Marcellus shale gas but, sadly for them, plenty of access to more expensive Canadian gas. Maine wanted Massachusetts consumers to foot most of the bill for the pipeline by arguing that it lowers electricity costs for all New England consumers and, therefore, Massachusetts should pay its share based on its electricity demand, i.e. about 50%. However, out of the many studies that have been done, the Maine industrial groups’ study was the only one that showed a benefit to New England consumers from the oversized pipe proposed by Kinder Morgan.
The fact is we still need some new pipeline capacity into the region for home heating and other industrial users who need firm supply in the winter. Spectra’s project is the answer in part and we still need to address the problems with supply in the Berkshires.
But we need not worry about the electricity generators anymore. That is clear from the Attorney General’s study and the recent auction. For the same reason this pipeline plan failed, Governor Baker should rethink his “combo platter” because it’s likely to be too much food and overpriced.
If we distort the market with ratepayer subsidized Canadian hydro that we don’t need, customers will definitely end up being the ultimate losers. But let’s also take a step back and not look at each of these proposals in terms of winners and losers. Now is the time for leadership where there are no winners and losers, just a fair and rational plan to the lowest cost clean energy supply. | 2019-04-26T00:23:56Z | https://www.poweroptions.org/wiredin/allconsumersarewinners/ |
Trafigura signs three-year cobalt deal with Shalina Resources subsidiary - Africa M.E.
LONDON (Reuters) – Commodities trader Trafigura has signed an offtake agreement for cobalt hydroxide running to December 2020 with Shalina Resources and its subsidiary Chemaf, based in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Chemaf said in a statement on Wednesday.
Interest in cobalt reflects a shift in the automotive industry to electric cars (EV), powered by lithium-ion batteries which also require components made from the metal as well as other materials such as nickel.
Trafigura has already increased its foothold in nickel with an exclusive offtake agreement with Finland’s Terrafame, that also produces zinc and cobalt.
“If as expected EVs account for an increasingly significant proportion of a growing global vehicle fleet from 2025, it will drive sharp rises in demand for nickel and cobalt,” Trafigura Chief Executive Jeremy Weir said in the company’s 2017 annual report.
Chemaf specialises in cobalt and copper exploration. It produced about 5,000 tonnes of cobalt last year from its Etoile mine and processing plant in Lubumbashi, with production set to rise to 7,000 tonnes this year.
More than 60 percent of global cobalt production comes from the DRC. Trading and mining group Glencore, the world’s biggest producer of cobalt, has already signed major offtake agreements with Chinese companies.
Trafigura traded 69.9 million tonnes of metals and minerals in 2017, up 18 percent from 2016. | 2019-04-19T14:34:18Z | https://africa-me.com/trafigura-three-year-cobalt-deal/ |
