[App] Diagrams with different diagram types for the data series are now supported. Thanks to this functionality, you can, for example, display a composite diagram of columns and lines in the app.
[App] The notification area has been revised. It will not only shine in a new design, but will also allow the expansion of other notification types (in addition to the "You were invited" notification).
[App] (Advanced) The dynamic visibility of elements (based on the value TRUE/FALSE in Excel) now works for all elements.
In the element editor, you will find a field in which you can specify the "Visibility (cell)" in the "Advanced" tab. Specify the address of the cell in the workbook whose value determines whether this element is displayed or not. The cell should contain the value TRUE or FALSE.
[App] (Advanced) Dynamic display and hide of elements (based on the value TRUE/FALSE in Excel) now works for individual rows to be displayed in the list element. Attention: this function is still experimental and only recommended for experienced users.
Each line should contain the value TRUE or FALSE in a column.
In the "Advanced" tab of the list editor, the "Visibility (column)" is then specified. The definition is isvisiblecolumn=x. The x must be changed by the position of the column. If the list starts in A1 and the column with the TRUE / FALSE values is in column C, the definition isvisiblecolumn=3 must be specified in the XML.
In the attachment (at the bottom of this page) you will find an example file (Is Visible Column - DEMO). The values in column C depend on the value in cell B2 on the worksheet Config.
[App] (Advanced) When a user opens your app, we receive the email address with which they signed up for Open as App. This information can be passed to the Excel file that you use as the data source using the app definition useremailcell=<address>. If this definition is specified, the user's e-mail address is written to the specified cell when the app is started.
Based on this, you can use any Excel logic and in combination with the "isvisible column" and "is visible cell" functions to show/hide content for certain users (groups), for example.
In the "Regions Dashboard - DEMO" example file in the attachment, the user's e-mail address is inserted into cell B1 on the "Config" worksheet. Cell B2 calculates to which region the employee belongs. Depending on this, cells G6:G9 show TRUE or FALSE. These cells are used for dynamically hiding elements (in this scenario "ActionButtons" with which you can jump to a specific page of the app).
[App] [Portal] Output cells of the app can now also be defined as "action buttons" that redirect to a specific page in the app when clicked. In the "Main" tab of the editor for output cells, a dropdown is available with which you can select the page to which you want to jump.
[Portal] You would like to send invitations to a large number of people? Use our bulk invitations. Simply copy a column, row or collection of cells containing email addresses from Excel, Google Sheets, etc. and paste them into the input field where you used to type/select each person individually.
[Portal] You can now create apps based on a My SQL query. The app then communicates directly with your database and displays the data from the columns as lists. Thanks to the list analysis function of Open as App you also have a direct evaluation with filter functions.
In the first step of the app creation process, select "MS SQL, MySQL, Salesforce..." under "Connect external service" to go to the provider selection.
[API] We now support app creation with files hosted in Dracoon's Secure Data Space (https://www.dracoon.com). Please note that the link to the file must be a "guest link". In the first step of the app creation process, add this guest link to the popup window that appears after you click on "Shared URL" under "Connect external service".
Please note that your file must be available and downloadable at this URL. To check this, insert the URL in the address bar of the browser and check whether the file is downloaded directly from the browser.
[Portal] The theme selected during the initial app creation process (in the Design and Customization step) is now saved temporarily for the entire creation process. Cells that are subsequently added in the next design step are then automatically designed according to the theme settings. If the app is published and then edited, the elements are not (yet) designed according to the theme settings. Initially, only the initial creation process was optimized.
[Portal] Recognition of columns containing the geodata (degrees of longitude and latitude).
[Portal] Recognition of line diagrams.
[Web Client] Error sorting in date columns has been fixed.
[Web Client] When editing list entries in the Web Client, the values from the toggle (dropdown) were not always displayed.
[Portal] Grouped items were not removed from a group if they were to be placed last in the new group. | 2019-04-24T06:58:07Z | https://support.openasapp.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000448324-Release-v1-42-Build-463- |

Wildcat Madisen Weaver prepares to study overseas.
When it comes to picking prospective colleges, many students feel overwhelmed when deciding where to attend. Senior Madisen Weaver, however, finds it hardly a challenge. Weaver plans to study abroad in Australia for college in January of 2020, fulfilling her lifelong dream.
Since early on in her childhood, Weaver always had a desire to explore and travel. More specifically, she had her head set on living in Australia. Taking her mother’s advice, Weaver has decided to study in Australia and will later decide on moving there permanently.
“When I was a little, about ten years old, we had this globe and I was obsessed with the globe ’cause it had Oceania and I always wanted to go to Australia and travel. I’ve always wanted to live there, and my mom told me to go study there before I decided to move,” said Weaver.
Weaver plans to attend the University of South Wales in Sydney, Australia for three years. She has become very intrigued by their Medical Research programs and looks toward pursuing an education in the Medical/Scientific field. She believes studying abroad will allow her to pursue her education more efficiently.
“[The] University of New South Wales has a degree program that offers international research scientist in medicine and health, which i’m very interested in. [In the US], it is two separate degrees, so it would take more time to get here. It’s also much cheaper over there,” said Weaver.
Weaver’s hardest obstacle at the moment is making sure she has more than enough money to move over. She will be working very hard the next year before she takes off to college to ensure she has her finances in check for the big move .
Although it’s a big move , Weaver is backed up by the support of her family and friends and knows they have her best interest in mind.
“They completely support me, they really do. Especially my boyfriend, he is leaving in June to go to Hillsong, and he just told me “You know you’ve always wanted to go, so why not?”,” said Weaver.
Being so far from home, Weaver is very excited that she won’t be alone throughout her journey. Since she has over friends in Australia, they will help her settle in when the time comes.
Beyond her desire to fulfill an education in Australia, Weaver is hoping to make the most of her time in Australia by traveling and discovering. | 2019-04-20T11:07:57Z | https://www.thecrimsonconnection.com/9798/features/abroad-in-australia/ |

Home » Health » Nutrition » Science Based Forskolin Reviews – Does it Really Work?
With obesity rising at an alarming rate all over the world, popularity of weight loss supplements like Forskolin comes as no surprise. Forskolin is a weight loss supplement, which gained popularity in America after it was featured in Dr Oz show in January 2014. But can it really help in shedding weight? Let us read science and evidence backed Forskolin reviews and learn more if this supplement works or not.
Forskolin extract supplement is made from the roots of the Indian Coleus (Coleus forskohlii). It is a medium-sized plant which is native to India, Nepal and Thailand and is a member of the mint family.
This purple-flowering botanical herb has been used as an ayurvedic medicine to treat ailments related to the heart, digestion and hypertension (1).
Modern scientific research has also been done to see if this herb has a positive effect on health.
Numerous test tube experiments and animal studies have been done to see the impact of Forskolin on fat metabolism. Numerous Forskolin reviews and studies suggest that Forskolin stimulates the release of stored fat from the fat cells. This is similar to what happens when our body needs body fat for energy.
But this is not enough for fat loss; the fat loss will only happen if the energy expenditure is more than the energy consumed.
For a fat loss supplement to be effective, it must either increase our metabolic rate or suppress appetite. Unfortunately, Forskolin does not do either.
There have been many studies on the weight loss effect of Forskolin. While some television doctors may have promoted this weight loss supplement by calling it ‘lightning in a bottle,’ the results of the scientific research have not been very positive.
There have been two studies on the effect of this weight loss supplement on humans (2,3).
The first study was done on a group of 30 overweight or obese men at the University of Kansas in 2005. The men were divided into two groups. The first group of 15 men took 250 mg of Coleus forskohlii extract (10 % Forskolin) twice a day for 12 weeks. The other group received the same amount of placebo for 12 weeks.
Compared to the placebo group the Forskolin group lost more fat, but the total weight did not change. The levels of free testosterone on the Forskolin group also showed a rise.
Since testosterone can release the fat from the fat cells, this could be the reason for the loss of fat in this group. Testosterone also helps in increasing the muscle mass, which explains the increase in muscle mass in the Forskolin group (4).
Another study was conducted at the Baylor University and published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. In this study, 23 overweight women took 500 mg of Coleus forskohlii for 12 weeks.
The results showed that coleus forskohlii does not promote weight loss but may prevent weight gain in overweight women with no significant side effects (5).
In a study done on rats in 2014, 50 female rats were administered Forskolin/rolipram for ten weeks (6). This study found that both Forskolin and rolipram stimulated lipolysis and inhibited body weight increase by increasing cAMP levels.
So the study found that the supplement did prevent weight gain even on a diet that caused weight gain in other groups of rats.
Different Forskolin reviews and studies show that it may not be as useful for weight loss, but it does carry other health benefits. In fact, this herb had been used for centuries as ayurvedic medicine.
Forskolin helps in widening the air passage and hence prevents asthma attacks. In a study done of 40 patients of asthma, it was found that the patients who took 10 mg of Forskolin three times a day had a significantly lower number of asthma attacks during the treatment period (7).
Forskolin can increase the density of bones, and this could reduce the risk of osteoporosis. The study that showed the weight loss results in men also showed an increase in the bone mass in men who took this supplement (8).
A study at the University of Madrid found that Forskolin activates protein phosphatase 2 and this stops the growth of rectal cancer tumours (9). When taken with chemotherapy drugs, it also reduces the side effects.
Forskolin has been used to treat high blood pressure as an ayurvedic medicine for years. Now recent studies have also proved that this supplement is effective in treating heart ailments like blood pressure (10).
Forskolin is available as pills and in the powder form. A typical dose of this supplement is 100 to 250 mg of Coleus Forskohlii (10% Forskolin) twice a day. It is important to purchase these supplements from a reputed company and take them under the supervision of your doctor.
Though Forskolin does not have any notable side effects, we should be cautious while taking it.
One lab study discovered that this supplement could lead to mutation and cancer (11).
People with low blood pressure should avoid taking Forskolin as it can lower their blood pressure further.
Forskolin can also increase the size of the cyst in women with the polycystic ovarian syndrome (12).
There are mixed Forskolin reviews and studies available with us. However, the evidence of whether this herbal supplement can cause weight loss is not very clear. Not to forget, it does have many other health benefits. It is better to wait until further studies prove this supplement effectiveness on weight loss. | 2019-04-24T06:59:38Z | https://www.stemjar.com/forskolin-reviews/ |

Our fejoia hedge has not had any flowers on it for the last 2 -3 years. There are about 6 well established trees, approx 3 metres high. What has happened?
It may be a good time to give your feijoa hedge a good, hard prune. If possible take a third off and apply a fertiliser that is high in Potash, prior to the fruiting season. The Potash will encourage flowers and fruit to grow. | 2019-04-25T18:13:32Z | https://www.palmers.co.nz/questions/question/fejoia |
Every spring, Georgia College hosts SpringFest for students who have been admitted, but may have not made up their mind about attending. The advisors take over a computer lab and assist students completing their course preference selection (known in Bobcat land as POUNCE).
The Library and Information Technology Center had a large display to welcome the incoming students.
The path to the POUNCE lab was well marked.

Last fall, @shelkie wanted to learn more about cryptocurrency. So, he started building miners for fun. Along the way, he had some questions and found IRC Bitcoin channels a good place to ask them. Later, he talked to me about how surprising he found the technology: In spite of it being cumbersome, antiquated, and forgotten by many, those using it had maintained a vital community.
If you’re unfamiliar with IRC (as I was), a brief history: In 1988, fellow Finn, Jarkko Oikarinen created Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which uses a client/server model to facilitate transfer of messages. These allowed for discussion forums (channels), private messaging, and file transfer. By 2003, there were around a million IRC users, and half-a-million IRC channels; since then, those numbers have dropped by nearly half.
After a few of our talks about IRC, I decided to give it a try for myself. Although I feel comfortable with most technologies, I found using IRC a little arduous. In fact, I eventually had to use a how-to guide, just to make sense of installing a client, finding a server, and configuring my client to gain access. Not a great experience; however, once I got in, I could see why @shelkie was interested in the general notion behind IRC—and why he thought it was primed for a sort of rebirth.
Lately, I’ve come to use Twitter as a broadcast/response tool. I post cheeky remarks and new articles when I have them; additionally, if someone asks a question through Twitter, I respond. That said, I find that the 140 character limit tends to stymie more involved conversations. Meanwhile, I don’t quite know what to do with Facebook any longer. I dislike the notion of clogging colleagues’ news feeds with kid/dog photos, and similarly suspect that family members have little interest in my work-related banter.
Sure, Facebook and Google have tried to solve this problem with features like Circles, which ask you to group your connections into certain buckets. However, the problem with this approach is that they’re effectively asking users to do a whole bunch of categorization (or Information Architecture), which is tedious. On the other hand, IRC is interesting, as it uses subject matter as a starting point, instead of connections. So, if I want to discuss UX or Art with those who care about those topics; a service like IRC allows me to, without having to bug my less-interested friends.
We felt that IRC represented a great “in-betweeny” technology that, although no longer fashionable, solved a problem no other network currently did. We also noted that until someone removed the headaches associated with configuring a client and connecting to a server, new users probably wouldn’t bother giving it a try.
At smashLAB, we love building things for the web. So, we got to work on Chapp (the name is a portmanteau of chat and app), which we see as a kind of updated IRC. At this time, it is just an experiment; but, we’re keen on its promise. Built on Meteor and node.js, Chapp is a network that allows anyone to browse channels (topics) and create new ones, almost instantly.
We soft-launched Chapp a few weeks ago, and asked a few friends to give it a spin. We’re grateful for folks like @matt, @sthursby, and @juddc who’ve essentially served as an impromptu user-testing team. During this process, we’ve identified some issues, and started modifying the app, on the fly. Some changes happened fast, with a number of features being requested and deployed in less than an hour. The app is far from perfect—actually, it’s still rough around the edges. That said, we’re pushing out updates continually, and are working to build something that’s simple, efficient, and useful.
I suppose we could have refined Chapp more before releasing; but, we don’t like the idea of building this app in a vacuum. Instead, we want people like you to take part, use it, and tell us what you like/don’t. It’s through this sort of interaction that we learn how to make something that works for you. And, frankly, that’s what drives us to do this kind of work: the simple understanding that we’re buiding something good that people use.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; keep aside.
Add egg, milk, and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Add reserved flour mixture; mix on low speed until combined.
Using a tablespoon or 1¾-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto a greased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Place the baking sheets on the middle rack in the oven and bake until cookies begin to spread and become firm, about 10 minutes.
Return to oven, and continue baking until marshmallows begins to melt, for 2 minutes.
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before topping the frosting.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of chocolate frosting (recipe follows) over each marshmallow, starting in the center and continuing outward until marshmallow is covered.
Place confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl.
Add butter and cocoa powder.
Whisk the butter, cocoa powder and sugar together using a hand mixer.
Add milk and vanilla, and whisk until well combined and soft peaks are formed.
If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use hand mixer instead.
If you are not fond of marshmallows, avoid that and top the cookie with just the chocolate frosting.
The cookies taste incredible with the chocolate frosting, so don't skip making the frosting. | 2019-04-20T00:26:27Z | http://www.thasneen.com/cooking/easyrecipe-print/1338-0/ |

My objective is to take education beyond the realm of books and even computers so that the children can define true aim of life which is contentment and peace of mind.
The most powerful ‘mantra’ Dr Maria Montessori gave to the world was, “Catch children young ”. It is my profound belief that foundation laid in Montessori school is the strongest to produce the architects of future.
Montessori System of Education- The legacy of an illustrious and pioneer educator, the exponent of early childhood education- Dr Maria Montessori has transcended the barriers of all the times. The Montessori system of education despite over hundred years old has proven to be the most modern and futuristic. It has attained tremendous height in providing children the best system of education.
The most striking feature of ABC Montessori schools is to focus on thought process and de-emphasize rote learning so as to enable each one to become life- long learner, by nurturing fragile and tender buds into fully bloomed beautiful flowers, spreading fragrance of human virtues & values.
Our teachers support & guide our students to be thinkers and enquirers, who wonder and pose questions. Our school promotes a set of values which empowers students to make positive contribution to the school and the wider communities.
I know it is a mammoth task but prudently and patiently fighting off such challenge is, however, our second nature. Propelled by our missionary zeal, steely resolve and unflinching faith in the capability and expertise of the faculty, I assure you that entrusting your child in our experienced hands is the most judicious and timely decision you would ever take. I truly believe each Montessori school is gate way to infinite world of educational excellence. | 2019-04-21T20:31:36Z | https://www.abcmontessori.co.in/school-staff/ahmedgarh-franchise-associate/ |

Her passion is her greatest weakness.
His legacy is his prison.
To reunite, both must fight the demons within.
A world of deception and danger separates Annie Fremont from her mother—and from Chase, the enigmatic groundskeeper with whom Annie’s fallen in love. But she vows to find her way back to them, before Chase succumbs to the madness that threatens his freedom. The only person who can help is the magical seductress, Lotli, a beautiful, manipulative woman . . . a woman who has disappeared.
Annie must stay strong, even as the future she imagined is slipping away. With the help of family and friends, she discovers that Lotli is being held against her will, by those who want to exploit her powers. But though weakened, Lotli remains a powerful ally and adversary. A bargain is struck. And now Annie’s only chance to rescue Chase could also tear them apart . . .
Loyalties will be tested, walls will be breached, and enemies will be fought, yet Annie’s greatest battle lies within her own heart—to trust her love for Chase to overcome its greatest enemy, and to save those she holds most dear from the terrifying realm of the djinn. For all of their lives depend on it.
We journey. Ceaseless and hungry.
The campsite was ominously silent. Then a breeze lifted and my ear caught the faint clank and rattle of the bones and knives hanging in the pine trees behind us.
“You don’t think they’re both dead, do you?” Selena whispered.
I scanned the dilapidated camper ahead of us, a do-it-yourself RV created out of an old bread truck. Despite the midafternoon warmth, the doors were shut tight. The tent behind it, barely visible from our angle, bowed under the weight of rain that had pooled in its canopy. There was no campfire smoke. No trampled grass. In comparison to when we’d come here last week, the place looked deserted.
My jaw clenched. Yeah, that was exactly what I meant. I understood why my cousin didn’t like that everything we’d discovered pointed to her boyfriend, Newt, being involved in Lotli’s disappearance, and perhaps Zea’s as well. But I thought we’d gotten past that, like a bunch of times already.
“Would you rather discover one in a closed-up camper?” I snapped. It was lucky we’d driven into the campsite from the main road instead of walking like we’d done the last time. I’d assumed the Professor had an adventuresome spirit to go with his young Indiana Jones good looks. Especially since he was an archaeologist, though this summer he was tutoring Selena’s eleven-year-old brother as a favor. Still, and despite how eager he’d seemed to come with us, the Professor had freaked the second we started past the creepy stuff Zea and Lotli hung in the trees to scare people off: the knives and bones, pieces of copper pipe, broken mirrors, and doll parts. Frankly, I was surprised he’d even gotten out of the Land Rover at all.
As he headed for the tent, I tramped toward the camper with Selena close behind. If only Chase were here now. The creepy stuff hadn’t bothered him at all, and the fear of Zea being dead would have only driven him forward faster.
My chest tightened, my longing for Chase aching inside me, raw and unrelenting. If it weren’t for me, he would be here now. Instead, both he and my mother were trapped in the djinn realm, prisoners of his father, Malphic. If it weren’t for me, Lotli wouldn’t be missing either.
I raised my hand and knocked. One second passed. Two seconds. I rapped harder. Nothing. I tried the doorknob. It turned beneath my grip. I opened the door a crack, hesitated, and took a deep breath before pushing it open all the way.
A wave of hot, musty air rushed past me as if the camper had been closed up for days.
“Hello?” I said, sticking my head inside. I gave the air a cautious sniff. No dangerous odors, like a leaky gas stove, permeated the air. No rotting-trash smell—or decomp.
I swallowed hard and stepped forward.
The place was cramped, a gypsy wagon on steroids. Tassels and prisms curtained the windows, letting only faint streaks of light inside. Miles of fuchsia and turquoise fabric draped the ceiling and walls. Animal skulls, feathers, and nubby candles clustered inside miniature altars. The fridge, table, and chairs, every surface that wasn’t fabric covered, was painted purple or black. Stars decorated the ceiling. An antique bed piled with crimson quilts and an avalanche of pillows took up the camper’s entire backend. It was cozy enough, I supposed. But I couldn’t begin to imagine what life had been like for Lotli, apprenticed to Zea as a child because of her magic abilities, essentially indentured. Not that I thought a devout shaman like Zea would have been cruel to her. It was just so different from anything I’d experienced.
I minced my way deeper into the cramped space, working my way toward the back of the camper. Cold sweat carved a trail down my spine. I crept past a tiny kitchen and dining nook, then the bathroom—one toothbrush in the holder, a washcloth draped over the edge of a yellowed sink.
Something brushed the back of my neck.
I yelped and jumped sideways, whipping around to see what it was and smacking my elbow against the wall. Pain zinged up my arm. I glared at Selena, standing barely an inch behind me.
“I didn’t think you were that close.” It wouldn’t have hurt half as bad, except I was already sore and bruised from being thrown out of the djinn realm earlier in the day.
I closed my eyes, struggling to regain my composure. We couldn’t afford to waste time discussing the same thing over and over again, any more than I could have afforded the luxury of staying home to nurse my aches and pains. Chase and Mother were in danger. And I couldn’t go back to the realm and rescue them until we found Lotli. Without her and her flute-magic, it would be too risky, perhaps even impossible to enter or escape from the realm.
Glancing around, I spotted a scruffy hairbrush. You couldn’t get much more personal than that. I grabbed it and brandished it toward Selena.
She turned her back on me, her voice bordering on hysteria. “I don’t know why I bothered coming. You’re so, so . . . You always have to be right—” Her voice died and she slowly faced me. Angry red blotches mottled her face. But tears rimmed her eyes.
My anger drained. She didn’t look pissed. She was trembling like she was about to fall apart. Earlier today, when we’d first heard about the lies Newt and his family had been telling, I’d seen something in Selena’s eyes, something beneath her disbelief.
“What is it? Tell me,” I asked gently.
She shoved my hand away. “No, you don’t get it. I know he loves me. Like forever.” Her eyes pleaded for me to understand what she couldn’t bring herself to say.
“I kind of—I put a . . .” Her voice faded and she looked down at the floor.
“A spell?” A month ago, the idea of witchcraft being involved would never have occurred to me. Now it seemed more than likely.
“You can’t tell anyone. Mom, Dad, Grandfather—they’d kill me.” She curled her arms over her head, her shoulders shaking as she crumpled down against the wall.

Home > Blog > Increasing My Capacity for Happiness!
Today’s episode comes from the beautiful Asheville, North Carolina, where I am sharing the work I am doing to increase my capacity for joy. Does that sound fun or what?!
As I explain in the video, we can see external changes by first imagining a slightly better life for ourselves -which is internal work. This is the process of expanding your ideas about what is possible for you. It yields amazing results but it’s not always comfortable-because to get out of our current comfort zone (to grow!) means there will be discomfort involved.
I am of the philosophy that life is full of discomfort anyway, so we might as well pick the discomfort that comes from expansion, instead of the discomfort that comes from not living up to our potential.
Enjoy the episode, and have a beautiful weekend! I’ll be giving my keynote speech at CD Baby’s DIY Musician Conference this weekend and am super pumped for that! | 2019-04-26T05:59:39Z | https://arielbloomer.com/increasing-capacity-happiness/ |
I am a bit confused on how to write the keywords correctly in the Tag Meta Software, and this is really important because if will not be practical if I do it wrong.
You say not to insert spaces, but I do not understand what that means.
For example, one of my keywords is natural remedies for dogs. How would I write it in your software?
Please specify the correct way by 1, 2, or 3. Or please give me an example.
Absolutely number one is the correct way.
But this is just a "style" because really don't matter.
So, if no space after comma, then number 2 is correct.
Better to say that 1) and 2) are correct, but 2) is better. It's clear that 3) is completely wrong.
I've done what I think should be correct but it does not work at all.
Does your extension work on Joomla 1.5.10 or 1.5.11?
And then I wrote in the title, description and keywords.
But the global configuation metadata is still in place and not what I want it to be.
Tag Meta works with all version of Joomla 1.5.
Have you enabled plugin? If yes, send me the full URL to test the meta tags.
Thus far, I have only one page that I have inserted information for only /cushex-drops-dogs-cats-adrenal-glands.html since I had previously uninstalled the extension.
I have installed both plugin and component and plugin, but I do not know if I needed to do something else. If so, I did not do it.
First, check that plugin is enabled.
Then, send me the export of your Tag Meta MySQL table (name is jos_tagmeta).
Finally, it works. The plugin was not activated. I did not understand what "Activate plugin 'System - Tag Meta' and set global parameters" mean. I wish that I would have known sooner.
Maybe, as a pointer, maybe say that to activate the plugin go to Extension - Plugin Manager and Activate plugin System - Tag Meta.
Thanks for your help. This extension is a great help for me! | 2019-04-21T10:12:57Z | http://www.sistemistica.it/forum/9-tag-meta-in-english/308-how-to-write-keywords-in-tag-meta.html |
There isn't a lot in her channel as it seems she runs a fairly successful independent video game store as her day job (I guess one that may specialise in some weird stuff (and likely being under 30. Sickening)) but the few bits on there are pretty interesting.
Oh yeah man she’s awesome. Owns the Pink Gorilla game stores in Seattle, the flagship store is hands down the best game store I’ve ever been in - huge selection of retro and contemporary, and the best prices I’ve ever seen not from a private collector.
I picked up both SMT: Devil Survivor games on DS for $15 each.
If you ever go to Seattle (which you totally should) make sure Pink Gorilla is on your ‘to do’ list. And also Raygun Lounge.
I saw this video the other day and have since gone back and watched most of this guys stuff and it's genuinely brilliant.
I think that’s where Phil from Player One Podcast took his haul last year iirc.
So I've been following this YouTuber for a while and I'm just gonna share. Dunno if anyone else here likes video essays but I love them, and Lindsay Ellis is the queen of them.
Her stuff is mostly literature and Film based (but I did hear she got numerous offers from videogame sites but this was during the height of GamerGate and she was like "ha, nope!"(and looking in her back catalogue shows she's not an outsider to the scene)). But her channel is just packed with amazing insights into nerd culture.
Sometimes it can get kinda heavy but stick with it since it is idiot proof by the end. I mean I understood it.
But yeah, shout out to Lindsay Ellis. Top tier YouTubing, here.
I need to watch more of her stuff,I watched her Nostalgia Chick videos and she was clearly a talented reviewer. Course,she steers well clear of that persona now,for good reason.
This would be his newest video. His critiques are often pretty insightful and on point. Someone who has a genuine eye, not just for films, TV, video games etc but the processes that go into making them behind the scenes.
I'm fairly sure they're married.
Found this playthrough of Demon’s Souls.
If the broadcasters were about, I’d recommend the non-From games to think about, like Salt & Sanctuary, The Surge, Nioh, etc.
I’m pretty sure they’re gonna be covering the non-From games once the From games are finished/as they release.
If they played through Salt and Sanctuary or Lords of the Fallen or Death’s Gambit etc that night give me an excuse to play them too.
If anyone has seen Troy Baker and Nolan North do their stuff together, you know they're a good team.
Now, Nolan North is playing through the Uncharted games for the first time. This should be a cracker of a series.
May give this a watch.
Some good comments on that episode, my favourite being, "Troy: Gamer. Nolan: Man who knows that games exist."
They're giving some interesting background on how it was made, for example Amy Hennig more or less writing scenes on the fly, reacting to how the actors would portray the roles. | 2019-04-24T14:22:07Z | https://www.mfgamers.net/index.php?/topic/41778-youtube-%E2%80%9Cstars%E2%80%9D/&page=4 |

Hamburg, Germany - Well, training camp is over. We officially ended it today, or as Schmitty put it before the game, we started our season today already, when we played our 1st round DEB Pokal game against the Essen Moskitoes. We won 3-0, with Paul Manning, Mike Smazal and Alexander Barta scoring our goals, one every period. I played the whole game, recorded the shutout, although it wasn't my hardest one. It was a pretty good game, well balanced and I had to make a few good saves, especially in the second period when the Moskitos put a little more pressure on us. When we scored our second goal, the game shifted a little more on our side and we were never really tested after. With the win, we erase a little bit the nightmare start from last season when we lost to Kaufbeuren in the Pokal opener, and it kind of set the tone for a very average season... Kaufbeuren ended up finishing last in the second league!! Hopefully, we will be able to build from this success to have a good season and home opener on Friday, against Hannover.
What is our team going to look like in 2005-2006? Well, even if we have been busy to work already for over a month, it might be too early to say how we will look. We still have three foreigner spots open, and we should use one or two of them pretty soon to add a little power to our offence...Training camp has been good, very good even. Our team has changed a lot since last September. The biggest and most important change, in my opinion, was made already at the end of last season, when Mike Schmidt became our head coach, replacing Dave King. The atmosphere in and around the team has improved one thousand percent, and Schmitty has a lot to do with it. Hockey is fun again, and we enjoy coming to practice and hanging around each other, which was not the case in the last two seasons. For the few guys from the Munich years of the Freezers (it's only me, Chief and Smash now), it was nice to have Doug Bradley coming back as an assistant. He completes Mike very well, and is also a great guy to be around in the dressing room. Dougie always has a story for every situation! When you add our goalie coach Andr� "Prof" Lebrun, we have to say that we are in good hands!
I have a new partner in goal this season, well, two new partners. Steffen Karg comes from Ingolstadt, and Tobias G�ttner from N�rnberg. Unfortunately, Kargie suffered a knee injury during the first week of training camp and could not play any preseason games. He should be ready to back me up on Friday though. He already has a lot of DEL experience and will definitely be a good help for me. Steffen's bad break in August was somewhat a good one for Tobi, who took advantage of the increased practice and playing time to show what he could do. I was very impressed with his cool during the games. I guess he will play in Stuttgart in the Oberliga (Div-3), and come back to help us in case of injuries to either me or Kargie.
"Alex Barta has impressed me the most by his skill, guts and game intelligence"
Tore Vikingstad led the way with a pair of goals, including the game-winner on the power-play with 2:55 left, as the DEG Metro Stars rallied from a 3-2 deficit to win Game 5 5-3 at home.
Winning goaltender Andrei Trefilov recorded 20 saves on the night while Cologne's Thomas Greiss stopped 32 of the 37 shots he faced.
An apparent powerplay goal from Craig Johnson was taken off the boards six minutes into the contest as his stick was over the crossbar when he re-directed in a point shot from Alexander Sulzer.
But Johnson and Sulzer teamed up again midway through the period. With Cologne's Ivan Ciernik in the sin bin, Johnson provided a perfect screen in front of the net as Sulzer blasted a high slapshot from center point over Greiss' glove hand to give the Metro Stars a 1-0 lead at the 10:30-mark.
Cologne tied the game with just over a minute left in the opening period when Stars netminder Trefilov mishandled a knuckling bad-angle shot by Philipp Gogulla from the left boards.
With time running out in the first, Tore Vikingstad knocked home a behind-the-net feed from Klaus Kathan from the doorstep to give D�sseldorf a 2-1 lead at the first intermission.
Things really got going in the middle frame. There were quality scoring opportunities on both ends. D�sseldorf�s Andy Schneider was stoned twice by Haie netminder Greiss on short-handed breakaways. The Haie evened the score at 2-2 when Jeremy Adduono struck on the power-play midway through the second period. Cologne could have taken the lead but Bill Lindsay, the match winner of Game 4, missed the net after a fine solo effort. Then the Haie caught a big break when a shot from Stars defender Jeff Tory bounced off the post on the man advantage.
The Haie shocked the Metro Stars when they took the lead for the first time, 3-2, on a turnaround shot from Ivan Ciernik at the 8:43-mark of the final period.
Things started heating up in the final six minutes. With the Haie still nursing a one-goal lead, defenseman Lasse Kopitz was assessed a delay-of-game penalty. A minute later, Eduard Lewandowski's high stick hit D�sseldorf's Patrick Reimer right in the face. He got a major plus game misconduct.
The ensuing 5-on-3 advantage was not enough for Metro Stars head coach Don Jackson who also pulled goalie Andrej Trefilov for an additional attacker. The gamble paid off 37 seconds later when a leaping Craig Johnson deflected in a shot by Tory from the top of the left face-off circle at 16:03.
D�sseldorf kept pressing and was rewarded with the eventual game-winner when Tore Vikingstad scored off the rebound of a shot from fellow-Norwegian Tommy Jakobsen, making it 4-3 with 2:55 to go. Patrick Reimer added another power-play tally 37 seconds later to seal D�sseldorf's come-from-behind win.
Three more Haie players got ejected in the waning minutes of the game after taking out their frustration on American referee Rick Looker. | 2019-04-24T23:48:05Z | http://baseportal.de/baseportal/fjohne/Bo_template&db=Bo&Id=44 |

Teflon™ Profile – Nonstick Coating Products. Superior nonstick coating performance You can see and feel!
Teflon™ Profile – Nonstick Coating Products. Introducing Teflon™ Profile makes a difference, enabled by our new Skin Technology. Market research confirms consumers place particular value ontheir cookware looking undamaged and good for a long time.
The secret to the extraordinary resistance and durability of Teflon™ Profile is in the detail: the topcoat and midcoat contain unique use of materials that provide special protection. As a result, our new Skin Technology, based on nature’s example, heralds in a totally newera in cookware coating.
SiC particles are found in nature, for example in meteorite rock, which is well-known for its tremendous strength. Based on this natural role model, we use such chemically synthesized particles and achieved a result in terms of hardness that is almost equal to that when using diamonds. The SiC particles aggregate into little formations in the new Teflon™ Profile midcoat through chemical processes, resulting in an innovative surface texture. This texture that you can actually feel not only gives our new nonstick coating its unique look, but also opens up a new dimension in scratch resistance.
Our specialty high performance polymer in this coating is a further development of the established material polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This polymer is distinguished by its extremely long-lasting nonstick properties and barrier functions. It has been impressing the professional sector, for example on baking trays, for quite some time already. This successful technology is now available on cookware.
Teflon™ Profile shows its colours!
Nature showed us how it’s done by proudly showing off its varied range of colours in the plant and animal kingdom. So why not in the kitchen too? Market research shows that colour is important to consumers. The group discussions as part of the Teflon™ colour research revealed that those surveyed like to add colour accents to their kitchens and therefore prefer coloured cookware. | 2019-04-19T13:24:08Z | https://www.hotel-vision.com/item/teflon-profile-nonstick-coating-products/ |

Whilst browsing through YouTube I came upon this marvellous Radio Times commercial. Can anyone enlighten me any further on it? Any ideas on what year it’s from?
Since the news was released on 1st June that Matt Smith is leaving Doctor Who all number of names have been suggested for the Twelfth Doctor. According to an article in yesterday’s Radio Times the bookmakers’ current favourite, at odds of 2-1, is Peter Capaldi. The 55 year old Scot is most well known for his role of Malcolm Tucker in the BBC sitcom The Thick of It. Like the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant, Capaldi is a genuine fan of Who and even had a letter published in the Radio Times when aged 15. The thought of an older Doctor is extremely enticing, although I wonder how an actor who’s the same age as William Hartnell was when he first played the Doctor would fare with the fan girls? Perhaps a young male companion, preferably in a skirt like Jamie McCrimmon, would satisfy the younger female viewers?
A rumour is currently flying around Twitter that an announcement will be made by the BBC about Doctor Who at midnight tonight (Thursday) UK Time. That’s 9.00 a.m. today Eastern Australian time. Whether the announcement will be the name of the new Doctor, or an announcement of a forthcoming announcement, remains to be seen. The Radio Times had previously said that the new Doctor would be announced on a special edition of Doctor Who Confidential. A special edition it would certainly need to be given that DWC ceased production at the end of 2011. Further rumours have suggested that this special edition will be aired in the UK this coming Sunday. | 2019-04-20T18:45:30Z | https://doctorwhomindrobber.com/tag/radio-times/ |

The basal topography produced for my EPSL paper published in 2014 was designed to capture the DeVicq glacial trough, which provides a deep passageway for ice retreat into the interior of Marie Byrd Land. Figure (1) shows how the updated topography differs from Bedmap2. Through most of Bedmap2, the bed is artificially shallow, failing to capture the deep ice reserves off the flanks of the mountain ranges in this region. You will note non-zero differences outside of the data collection area, these are the result of differences in the interpolation method used. Our interpolation was designed to produce results true to the data at locations with geophysical coverage, but can diverge from the results of B2's method as you move away from the survey data.
Figure (2) indicates the locations where new data were collected, and Figure (3) shows the data derived bed elevations versus the grid values for B2 and for our updated topography. Plotted in the lower panels are the elevation differences in black, the low-frequency elevation differences in red, and the mean difference in blue. As you can see, our topography does a much better job of capturing the average topographic signal, most notably in the orange and red lines which pass over the DeVicq trough.
This topography was designed for a 5km resolution modeling study, so detailed features have been smoothed out to capture the gross behavior of the system. Small scale errors also exist at the edge of our MBL domain, where the updated topography was stitched into Bedmap2. If attempting to use these data at higher resolution, it is important to keep these features in mind. | 2019-04-21T13:02:00Z | http://nholschuh.com/Data_Pages/D1_MBL_Map.html |
Fine Gael has today welcomed Councillor Lynsey McGovern to the party.
Councillor McGovern said: “I have decided to accept the invitation from Fine Gael to join the party.
“I believe that being part of the Fine Gael party will enable me to make a much bigger difference to the people I represent in the Sandyford/Glencullen ward and all the people of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown.
“I developed a great working relationship with my Fine Gael colleagues on Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council over the last three years in relation to policy and budgetary matters and it is therefore a natural progression for me to now join the party.
“There is strength in numbers and that’s key in getting decisions over the line at the end of the day. It is of my view that the support that will be available to me from Fine Gael and its members will be of enormous assistance in my role as a county councillor.
“I will now have much wider access and support to councillors both locally and nationally and access to national politicians, decision makers and government ministers.
“My particular areas of interest are to work on improving our local infrastructure, increasing transport links to ease traffic congestion, affordable housing, parks and sports development; and on a national level assist with improving the affordable childcare benefits and healthcare issues.
“As an active local representative for the Fine Gael party, I believe I will be in a stronger position to deliver on my goals and ideas to improve the lives of people living in Sandyford/Glencullen Ward.
“I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues both nationally and locally. I will continue to work very hard to behalf of the constituents of Dun Laoaghaire Rathdown to make the communities we live in better for all,” Councillor McGovern said.
Fine Gael TD for Dublin Rathdown, Josepha Madigan, said: “I am delighted to welcome Lynsey McGovern into the Fine Gael party.
“We were colleagues on Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council from 2014 until my election as a TD in 2016. She is an impressive, hardworking representative for the people of Sandyford/Glencullen and I look forward to working closely with her for our mutual constituents.
Fine Gael Senator, Neale Richmond, said: “Cllr Lynsey McGovern is a brilliant addition to the Fine Gael family and I am genuinely thrilled to have her join the party.
“Lynsey and I worked closely together on the County Council for two years where she was a wonderful colleague who clearly sought to represent her local area as best possible.
Fine Gael councillor for Glencullen/Sandyford, Emma Blain, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Lynsey to the Fine Gael team on Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and particularly in Glencullen Sandyford. | 2019-04-25T12:38:03Z | https://www.finegael.ie/councillor-lynsey-mcgovern-joins-fine-gael/ |

As in land monocultures, diseases within intense aquaculture developed largely in the early stages and were first combated with antibiotics, with large environmental consequences. Now, injection immunisation has lowered the use of antibiotics and increased productivity and fish health in aquaculture. Unfortunately, in many third world countries labour and cost intensive immunisation is still not applied and antibiotics are used instead. In this context, oral applied vaccines could reduce the introduction of antibiotics to open water systems.
The main goal of the cooperation-project is the development of a principle solution “modular oral-applied multi-vaccine (MoMV)” for pathogen immunisation and pathogen independent immune stimulation. Together with project partners from the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute (Dr. Bernd Koellner), the Leibniz-Institute for Farm Animal Biology (PD Dr. habil. Tom Goldammer) and the Institute for Microbiology at University of Greifswald (Dr. Doerthe Becher) a multi-vaccine feed and their optimal feeding regime will be developed.
The goal of the research project OFFoMV is the optimisation of specific food particles and the development of an optimal feeding regime for administering an oral vaccine in fish. Thereby, the biggest challenge is to overcome the unfavourable pH of the stomach which has lethal impact to the functionality of the vaccine. An adequate immune response can only be induced if the vaccine can be transported to the lower intestine intact. In close collaboration with the Technology-Transfer-Centre Bremerhaven, a special pellet will be developed which can guarantee adequate transport of the vaccine to the lower gut. Furthermore, an optimal feeding regime (stock density, feeding period and portions ...) will be developed and established to secure an optimal fish immunisation.
The project is funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and the state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. | 2019-04-23T14:22:07Z | https://www.awi.de/en/science/special-groups/aquaculture/aquaculture-research/projects/offomv.html |

In 1988 I got my first Flatcoated Retriever and spend until now my life for 28 years with this beautiful and wonderful breed.
In February 1993 was born the first litter in my Kennel after Furdals Granwille x Black Speed Bonnie - Line. Several litters with successful Huntlovers offspring follwed that first litter which makes me really proud.
Huntlovers Flatcoats are international well known and excellent dual purpose dogs, nice tempered and of excellent character.
I live with my family in Hadsund in the northern Region of Nordjylland on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula in northern Denmark. With me and my family live several lovely Flatcoats that are trained and used in hunting. Further I show them on national and international shows in Denmark and abroad.

There's also a divide between King's family on who allowed the icon's voice to be used in the ad.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches have influenced and inspired many, but no one would've expected to hear the icon's words used in a Super Bowl commercial.
It's exactly what happened Sunday (Feb. 4) when the civil rights figure's The Drum Major Instinct sermon served as a narration for Dodge's “Built To Serve” ad with a connection to the their Ram Nation volunteer program. The mission was about service and used certain sentiments by King to reflect it.
Backlash was immediate, especially since there were plenty of contradictions by using King's voice in the ad. For one, King wasn't a big fan of large military budgets and as his speech Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1967 showed, he wasn't fond of advertising at all.
One fan even took a portion of the SCLC speech and applied to the Dodge ad.
Fiat Chrysler, which owns Dodge, said they got the green light from King's estate to use his speeches. King's estate is ran by his son Dexter Scott King, while the non-profit King Center is ran by King's daughter Bernice King. She quickly distanced herself and the center from the ad via Twitter.
However, the estate's managing director spoke to Slate on allowing King's words to used in the ad.
"When Ram approached the King Estate with the idea of featuring Dr. King’s voice in a new “Built To Serve” commercial, we were pleasantly surprised at the existence of the Ram Nation volunteers and their efforts, Eric D. Tidwell, the managing director of Intellectual Properties Management, Inc. said Monday (Feb. 5).
"We learned that as a volunteer group of Ram owners, they serve others through everything from natural disaster relief, to blood drives, to local community volunteer initiatives. Once the final creative was presented for approval, it was reviewed to ensure it met our standard integrity clearances. We found that the overall message of the ad embodied Dr. King’s philosophy that true greatness is achieved by serving others. Thus we decided to be a part of Ram’s “Built To Serve” Super Bowl program."

Seven months out and the marketing for the 2017 superhero film Wonder Woman is in full force. DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. have released the next trailer for the 2017 release Wonder Woman, along with three new character posters.
Taking a cue from the Marvel Universe’s first golden age adaptation Captain America: The First Avenger, DC’s first effort at a Wonder Woman ties its first story back not to World War II but World War I. With Monster director Patty Jenkins helming the first big screen film featuring Wonder Woman–and no Christopher Nolan or Zack Snyder, we may have hope for this film, yet the cinematography, camera angles, and action sequences in the previews unequivocally owe plenty to Zack Snyder’s 300.
Gal Gadot returns from this year’s Batman v Superman as Wonder Woman with Star Trek’s Chris Pine back on a motorcycle, this time as Steve Trevor.
Both Gadot and Pine look promising as these classic comic book characters.
What you might be surprised to find in Titan Books’ new hardcover book Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The Art of the Film, is how much the book is a book of ideas. Inasmuch as many of the ideas made it to the screen, so many didn’t, as revealed in dozens of pages of concept art. It’s what most “Art of the Film” books are about, but because of the polarizing effect the movie has had on fans of the characters it is also helpful in seeing what the director and writers were going for–what they were trying to convey on the screen.
Although the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Tech Manual, reviewed last week here at borg.com, has more cross-appeal beyond fans of Batman and Superman, this coffee table style book is more for fans who loved the film, those wanting to understand it better, and those looking for an archive of Batman designs for reference. Fans who like the movie and want a “souvenir book” will appreciate the close-ups of the supersuits and vehicles from the film, the colorful page layouts, and the roughly chronological plot points that re-tell the story from a creator’s standpoint, from idea to final rendering on the screen.
Actors including Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jeremy Irons, and Jesse Eisenberg, explain the motivations behind their characters. Commentary surrounding images are provided from director Zack Snyder, the film’s production designer, art director, hair stylist, concept artists, director of photography, and costume designer, but most of the explanations for ideas behind the concepts come from producers including Deborah Snyder, and production designer Patrick Tatopoulos.
Really hoping Batman stomps Zack Snyder… I mean Superman… into the ground in this flick.
It’s a brief clip, but the latest look at next year’s much awaited new DC Comics movie incarnation. It’s all leading up to the release of another, longer trailer tonight.
From the first three previews we’ve now seen from 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we’re reminded about how well Marvel Studios adapts superheroes to movies compared to DC Entertainment. DC Entertainment has the right stuff when it comes to television series, and maybe that’s what they should stick to. Zack Snyder’s latest trailer was released this afternoon in San Diego at SDCC 2015, and it’s full of all that Snyder is known for.
For Snyder fans, that’s great. For others… next trailer, please.
Superman that looks like a villain. Batman with a suit that takes us back to George Clooney’s Batman in Batman and Robin. A puzzling casting decision with Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. A barely seen Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. And not a shred of humor or fun to be seen. Superman’s troops are uniformed like World War II Germans. Batman is portrayed like Saddam Hussein being pulled out of his spider hole in the desert. In one word: uninspired. What is DC thinking? | 2019-04-19T09:05:42Z | https://borg.com/tag/zack-snyder/ |

The Resource Opportunities Centre, since it's inception in 1998, as the Terence Bay & Area C@P Site, has been keen to use today's new technology for the betterment of our community. Our mandate clearly reflects our desire " The Resource Opportunities Centre provides access to information and technology-related learning and resources for the community it serves."
Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors the ROC has accessed funding through a wide variety of government programs that have created over 60 local employment opportunities.
We have provided work experience, computer skills training and job search services to area residents. We offer a variety of computer courses, from basics to more advanced applications including web design, accounting, Microsoft Office applications and children's'/youth workshops and more. We act as a hub of information exchange through our web page, newsletter and established community network.
"Teaching Technology Through Tradition" is the first in what we hope will be a series of digital histories collection projects undertaken by the Resource Opportunities Centre.
The ROC Board made successful application to Nova Scotia Department of Community Services and Human Resource Development Canada under the Labour Market Development Agreement, which provided funding and Human Resources for this project. Funding was also successfully obtained from Halifax Regional Municipality and Nova Scotia Department of Tourism and Culture.
The Resource Opportunities Centre, located in Terence Bay Elementary School serves the communities/villages of Terence Bay, Prospect, Shad Bay, McGrath's Cove, East and West Dover, Brookside, Blind Bay, Bayside, Lower Prospect, White's Lake, Hatchet Lake, and Goodwood, all of which are featured in this project.
Many of the communities in the area were thriving fishing communities in the past, and have suffered economically and emotionally, as a result of the fisheries crisis. Many of these communities are also very rich in cultural heritage, having been recognized internationally for their arts and crafts, weaving, rug hooking, woodworking, folk artists, painting, and sculpture. Many of the buildings and institutions, which historically supported the cultural activities in the area, are no longer in existence, while other groups and shops have sprung up in attempts to revive this heritage.
These small coastal villages have traditionally been very self reliant and community oriented. When the local economy began to decline due to the crisis in the fishing industry, many residents were forced to seek employment in the city and beyond. Since this trend began we have witnessed a decrease in community activity and involvement, as most families have two parents who work outside the area and have little time or energy to put into community volunteer efforts.
Some of the communities along the Prospect Rd have become suburban/bedroom communities, where people have moved to live outside the city, but whose lives and work remain focused away from the local community where they live. Other communities, have been proactive in maintaining a strong sense of community and developing opportunities for residents within the community.
All are communities strung along the circuitous Route 333, separated from one another by distance and lack of public transportation.
The aim of this project was to provide a forum for these small communities to work together to support one another, as they did in the past. We designed our "Teaching Technology Through Tradition" project to be completely portable, in order that our staff and volunteers could work out of many locations in neighbouring villages, to gather and share the stories, records and memorabilia, while at the same time ensuring our technological resources were being put to good use in the wider community.
Our "Teaching Technology Through Tradition" project gave ROC the first opportunity to collect and digitize information about the history of our area.
This project clearly demonstrated the wealth of stories and information that abounds in each of the unique villages that make up our area. Through the course of the last twelve months, we have amassed an enormous amount of information, some of which we have not been able to include in this presentation, however we sincerely wish to thank everyone who worked with us so generously.
This initial sampling was done in partnership with HRDC's Job Creation Program. Our Job Creation Participants for the project came to us with a range of IT skills and work experience. Through the process of project design and by working collaboratively, each JCP participant has gained valuable work experience and learned new skills that they will be able to use as they rejoin the workforce. In turn the JCP staff shared their knowledge with interested community members, both through informal and formal training sessions. Thereby increasing the skill base of local residents.
The focus of this project was to use the interest, enthusiasm and community momentum gained through the digital histories collection to introduce residents to the world of Information Technology. We designed a systematic approach to information gathering, targeting villages individually, by identifying "community gatekeepers". We were well equipped for this task and used our portable computer, laptop, mobile dial-up Internet connection, digital mini disk recorder, digital stills and video camera as well as our portable scanner to capture the information without having to remove treasured possessions from the homes of participants.
Once we had identified willing and knowledgeable residents to interview, many of whom freely gave photographs and documents for scanning, we shared the results of the collection in informal gatherings through the use of our LCD projector and screen. These informal presentations were much enjoyed by volunteer participants and often led to group reminiscing. Through these kinds of gatherings it has been relatively easy to establish a community sense of ownership and pride in the project. Project staff and community volunteers researched each of our volunteer interviewees family history using the Internet and mini presentations were given in the homes of the interviewees to demonstrate this application of Information Technology.
We held regular planning meetings with stakeholders to allow for a collaborative approach to design, layout and content development. Through this process volunteers, work placement and project staff identified areas of skill development that were needed, and training sessions were arranged through ROC connections.
The establishment of the Prospect Road and Area Seniors Network has been a tremendous community resource for this project. The network provides access to the older residents from all of the villages in the area through their ever-growing membership. Collectively the community knowledge and life experience of our senior citizens is priceless and we hope to showcase some of the characters that make our area unique in this sampling. | 2019-04-23T18:10:38Z | http://history.prospectcommunities.com/about/ |

Cakewalk tells the tale of a twelve-year-old girl's attempt to highjack a school Spring Fair and turn it into her own carnival of freaks. Realizing that she needs some help in order to pull off this stunt, she manages to recruit a motley crew of oddball fellow students, who meet in secret to plan their attack. Hilarity ensues.
Cakewalk isn't going to change your life, shock you, or tell you something you don't already know, but it's a sweet story sweetly told.
And for someone's first solo show, that's a pretty good place to start.
Cakewalk's next, and, alas, last show (for this festival anyway) is this Saturday, May 29th. Get your tickets early.

United's U18s slipped to a disappointing defeat against Cardiff City in Wales on Saturday.
"Cardiff are a really good footballing side and I was impressed by a number of their players, but we were poor.
"Take nothing away from the opposition though they deserved to win and could have done so by a greater margin.
"Nothing about us was at the required standard to give ourselves a chance and that is massively frustrating."
The hosts started the game positively and put the Blades on the back foot with a flurry of corners.
Then in the 7th minute, having hit the post in their previous attack, City took the lead, albeit after a blatant foul on Hinchliffe was missed on the halfway line.
The Bluebirds then had a goal disallowed for offside, prior to Cockerline getting in behind the home and deciding to stay on his feet and score rather than going down following a shirt tug in the penalty area.
Before half-time the injured Cockerline had to be replaced Kedman, with Calvert-Lewin moving up front to lead the line.
The second-half saw the Blades enjoy more possession and territory, but Cardiff were always in control and extended their lead in the 51st minute.
A mistake allowed Watkins a shot on goal which was blocked by Evans, but PHIPPS was on hand to fire home the rebound from close-range.
Wright, Calvert-Lewin, Hinchliffe all had chances to reduce the deficit but were denied by Massaro in the City goal.
Blades: Eastwood, Ishmail, Brown (Ramsey 69), Gordon, Evans, Semple (Cheeseman 55), Heh, Calvert-Lewin, Wright, Cockerline (Kedman 34), Hinchliffe. | 2019-04-22T10:20:57Z | https://www.sufc.co.uk/news/2014/october/cardiff-2-0-u18s---report/ |
Tens of thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets to rally in support of the Iranian government, after six days of anti-establishment nationwide protests in which at least 22 people were killed.
The protests on Wednesday came hours before General Mohammad Ali Jafari, head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), declared the unrest as over.
“A large number of the trouble-makers at the centre of the sedition, who received training from counter-revolutionaries … have been arrested and there will be firm action against them,” he added.
State media had previously reported the arrests of at least 530 people: 450 in Iran’s capital, Tehran, and 80 in the central city of Arak.
Earlier on Wednesday, pro-government demonstrators gathered in at least 10 cities, including Tehran, to condemn the rallies that put Iran in turmoil for almost a week, according to state media.
TV pictures showed people carrying banners in support of the government and shouting slogans against the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The footage of the pro-government rallies by state media was in broad contrast to the coverage of the past week’s demonstrations against Iran’s leadership.
Those protests started in the city of Mashhad on December 28 before spreading to other cities.
Participants initially protested against rising prices, long-standing unemployment and economic inequality, but their grievances quickly turned political, in the biggest display of public dissent since pro-reform rallies swept the country in 2009.
Iran restricted access to Instagram and Telegram social media apps as a security measure during the anti-government rallies, according to state TV.
On Tuesday, in his first public remarks since the rallies erupted, Iran’s Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei blamed external “enemies” for the turmoil.
Khamenei said that powers against Iran allied and used the various means they have available, including “money, weapons, politics, and intelligence services”, to stir unrest.
“The dignity, security, and progress of the Iranian nation are owed to the self-sacrifice of the martyrs. What prevents enemies from exerting their atrocities is the spirit of courage, sacrifice, and faith within the nation,” he said.
His comments came hours before the US said it would seek emergency talks at the United Nations regarding the situation in the country.
US President Donald Trump called the Iranian government “oppressive”, in a series of tweets, and warned it to respect the people’s right to protest.
“Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever. The world is watching!” he said in a tweet last week.
“The people of Iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime,” he said in another on Tuesday.
Relations between Washington and Tehran have been particularly tense since Trump decertified the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Under Trump’s administration, the two sides have also been clashing on a number of foreign policy issues. | 2019-04-21T04:25:27Z | https://www.lopolics.com/iran-mass-pro-government-rallies-after-days-of-unrest/ |
Last weekend I had the pleasure of enjoying a Christmas party with my team at The Pagoda Tree clinic.
I decided to whip up an old favourite recipe from my book Well & Good and the team absolutely LOVED it!
This Christmas chocolate torte recipe is one that is incredibly easy and with the good quality ingredients used can be enjoyed as a guilt-free (and gluten free) treat.
You will need a spring-form cake tin, a food processor and a handheld or electric egg beater. You can serve once cool but it is best if refrigerated overnight.
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease and line your cake tin.
4. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold almonds, chocolate and fruit into the egg whites and transfer the mixture into our cake tin. Bake for 45 minutes. Then, turn the heat off, open the oven door slightly and allow the torte to cool in the tin.
6. Decorate with berries and serve with a dollop of cream!
If you would like to see more where this came from you can head to my website to purchase the Well & Good Ebook or hard copy. – Perfect for a Christmas present for a loved one or even yourself! | 2019-04-21T00:43:06Z | https://www.natkringoudis.com/food-feature-chocolate-torte-with-berries/ |

Editor’s Note: In September, IDRA presented testimony before the President’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans during hearings held by the commission in conjunction with the National Summit on Latino Children, La Promesa de un Future Brillante, hosted by the National Latino Children’s Agenda. The following is an overview of the testimony on school finance.
I am here before you, commissioners, because of an issue that has not received necessary attention: funding for school facilities.
In January of 1995, to the dismay of poor school districts in Texas and of education advocacy groups, the Texas Supreme Court handed down a decision that all but ended 25 years of a longstanding fight to achieve funding equity in Texas. The court upheld Senate Bill 7 as constitutional under the Texas Constitution and in effect declared that the state’s funding system is equal enough.
In response, IDRA released a declaration, “Children First,” along with the support of more than 70 individuals and organizations. The declaration outlines our commitment to the creation of a truly equitable funding system. We believe that the Texas Supreme Court erred in limiting state responsibility to the provision of an equalized inferior education for all students.
As the district court noted, all children are the state’s children and thus should have equitable access to educational opportunities.
The demands of the workplace and the skills needed to be full and productive citizens require access to more than a minimum education.
The legislature has a moral and legal obligation to equitably fund school facilities because: (1) local districts are required to provide grounds, buildings, furniture and equipment; (2) districts are currently required to bear this burden totally on their own; and (3) the ability to shoulder the load is entirely dependent upon unequal district property tax bases.
When we put children first on the list of policy priorities and when we give them the best that we have to offer, the return will be so much greater.
Texas is one of 28 states where the school funding system was subjected to a legal challenge. It is one of 13 states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming) where the courts actually found the system of school funding to be in violation of the state constitution (IDRA, 1995).
This is a problem of national proportions that dates back to the Rodriguez vs. San Antonio Independent School District case filed in 1968. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it is the responsibility of the states to deal with funding equity issues. Thereafter, the battle for fair and equitable schools shifted to the state level, starting with the Serrano vs. Priest case in California and the Robinson vs. Cahill case in New Jersey in the 1970s. It continued with Edgewood vs. Meno and other cases in the 1990s (Cárdenas, 1995).
The majority decision in the Edgewood vs. Meno case was significant because it mandated that education be identified as a fundamental right, and it required the state to achieve a greater level of equalization than had previously been available. This would be accomplished by narrowing the tax base differences between property rich and property poor schools and by requiring the state to equalize any remaining differences in revenue raising capability.
The problem with the 1995 Texas Supreme Court’s conclusion rests with the decision that allows a disparity of $600 per pupil and allows the state to sidestep the issue of equalized funding for facilities.
For more than two decades, poor school districts and advocacy groups struggled with the state of Texas for equal educational opportunities, especially in terms of school finance. Yet, after the district court ruled in favor of increasing the quality of the state’s public schools, we were pushed many steps backward by the Texas Supreme Court.
The court concluded that the extent of the state’s responsibility is to ensure that there is a “general diffusion of knowledge” that does nothing substantial to address the unequalized enrichment of school districts so long as “efficiency” is maintained (Cortez, 1995). The court then mandated that the state legislature devise an answer to the state’s educational woes; and it did. To our dismay, the resulting legislation complied with the court order even though it did little to improve low wealth schools.
Provisions for facilities funding are scant. This has created a situation where schools with few resources are forced to choose between improving the physical conditions of school facilities or being able to provide program enrichment. The forced exclusion of one or the other is detrimental. Children deserve better than a “minimal” and inferior education.
The need for improved school facilities is not unique to Texas. Providing children with facilities that are conducive to learning is an important part of their intellectual development, whether that be in the primary or secondary levels. Only weeks ago, stories of overcrowding in the nation’s more populated areas have surfaced in the media. The September 6 issue of The New York Times reported that during the opening days of this 199697 school year, schools in New York found themselves overwhelmed with an unanticipated swell in their student population (Steinberg, 1996). Schools that were renovated and buildings that were being converted to accommodate the growing student population in that city were not ready on the first days of school, causing hundreds of children to be turned away from the schoolhouse doors.
Similarly, across the Western states, communities of all kinds are being faced with tremendous growth in the number of children, partly as a result of the baby boomers delaying their childbearing years and, to a smaller extent, because of a population influx from other countries.
In a report issued by the US Department of Education, A Special BacktoSchool Report: The Baby Boom Echo, it is estimated that 51.7 million children are attending school this fall. Yet, somehow, cities like New York City did not anticipate the increased student population (1996). Even a minimally competent demographer would have been able to predict such dramatic changes in the general population.
It is inexcusable that children should suffer being piled into classrooms and gyms because the schools are not ready for them. School personnel must have the foresight to be equipped to handle the numbers of students in our nation’s public schools. But, in addition to building new schools to accommodate greater numbers of pupils, particular attention needs to be given to facilities funding in order to upgrade those older school buildings throughout the United States that have suffered neglect and to make way for incorporating technology and other innovations within the classroom learning environment.
A US General Accounting Office survey in June of this year exposed some troubling statistics regarding the level of attention that is being given to school facilities (1996a). According to the survey, approximately 60 percent of the 80,000 elementary and secondary schools in this country are at some level of disrepair. Almost every state reported that about half of their schools are an “inadequate environment for learning.” Many schools are specifically lacking proper lighting, plumbing or ventilation.
Another example of the need for improved facilities to meet increased enrollment is cited in the Special BacktoSchool Report from the Department of Education. In a suburban area of Atlanta, the classrooms are so overcrowded that the district estimates it will have to build three classrooms every week for the next four years just to accommodate the influx of pupils.
Also, in our nation’s capital city, 60 percent of schools reported needing new roofs, while 72 percent reported needing new walls (US Department of Education, 1996).
The continued decline of classroom and building conditions and the need for increased construction are expected to continue to burden school districts into the next century. In fact, according to the Department of Education report, this trend of a growing schoolage population has gradually increased, and there is no evidence of a decline in the near future.
As we look at the new construction activities occurring nationally, it will be important for us to be vigilant in tracking the concentrations of minority pupils to avoid resegregation and to ensure that all students benefit from local school construction and renovation efforts. States across the country will have to meet the challenge of providing adequate learning environments that can meet the educational needs of today and the economic demands of the future.
Based on a national survey of school officials, the General Accounting Office estimates that $112 billion is needed to repair of upgrade the country’s school facilities to good overall condition (1996a). Those most in need are the low wealth districts and districts with high concentrations of Latino students. Texas is one of the few states that does not provide support for school facilities.
The General Accounting Office report, School Facilities: Profiles of School Condition by State, indicates that in 1993, 76 percent of Texas schools reported needing to upgrade buildings onsite to “good overall condition” (1996b). Even federal requirements are not being adequately financed. For example, over half of the schools in the state reported that their expenditures for disposal of asbestos were below average; some had spent no money on this. Fiftytwo percent noted below average spending for accessibility for disabled students, while 14 percent reported having spent no money to meet the federal requirement.
Let us not be lulled into an argument of merely bricks and mortar. We are talking about the molding of the future of massive populations of children who are ready to learn, but because of bureaucracy and politics, the schools are not ready for them.
To give you an example, in 1994, schools like South San Antonio Junior High School did not provide adequate bathroom facilities for students, and leaky ceilings plagued Southside Junior High School in San Antonio. In stark contrast, South Grand Prairie High School in Grand Prairie, Texas has a planetarium in its school to instruct its students in the area of science (IDRA, 1994). While some districts have the resources to provide stateofthe art computers, other districts face the challenge of educating students with grossly outdated textbooks.
School buildings are where children live, and children should attend schools where they feel safe, where they feel proud and motivated to learn, where they feel good about their community and about themselves. Despite court battles to expand the educational opportunities of all children, we have not yet reached the stage where we can honestly and proudly claim that all children are receiving a quality education. Every child has a right to an education that will prepare him or her to be a skilled and productive member of our society.
Equalize the differing property tax bases of school districts.
Take into account a district’s existing facilities related debt.
Take into account the age and condition of local facilities.
Recognize rapid growth in student enrollment in local districts.
The need for federal support for facilities is a crucial need for adequate education.
There is a need for federal funding of school facilities. The high cost of construction and bonded indebtedness makes it difficult for the states to provide the necessary funds.
Federal funding should not be used as a substitute for state equalization. Federal funding should promote equalization by providing an incentive for states to improve state funding equity in order to qualify for and receive federal matching funds and ensure that areas with the greatest need are targeted.
There should be an ongoing federal evaluation of equity in state funding.
There should be continued study on facilities needs and the impact of facilities on instructional programs.
There is a need for continuance monitoring of state equalization efforts.
There should be federal financial support to assist states in funding local school facilities.
With so many young people coming of age and needing a quality education to prepare for the future, America will surely be tested on whether we will invest in time, energy and resources so that these children and this nation can look to the future with confidence.

The story is ostensibly about a man, Michael Feldmann (Lior Ashkenazi) and a woman, Daphna Feldmann (Sarah Adler) immediately after they are told that their son, Jonathan, a soldier, has died in the line of duty. Daphna faints at the sight of the military messengers at her door and is taken to her room and sedated. Michael peers down the hallway, stunned and unable to do anything — cry, help, speak. The officers tell him to drink water every hour, get him a glass and set a recurring alarm on his phone to remind him. They tell him what will happen in the next few days. It is efficient, emotionless and routine, and all while this is happening around him, the camera barely moves from a close-up of Michael’s haunted face.

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Data centers operate the equipment that processes the data consumed by Internet users. It takes large amounts of energy to keep their servers cool, so much so that some of the newer data centers are now being built in colder climates. According to some estimates, data centers are now responsible for two percent of global GHG emissions.
Google’s artificial intelligence division, DeepMind, has managed to reduce the company’s energy consumption at its data centers, using a machine-learning algorithm. DeepMind’s algorithm has created a real-time, adaptive system that cuts the cost of cooling by 40 percent and the overall energy consumption by 15 percent.
According to DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, this will have a significant environmental impact. The system will be rolled out across all of Google's data centers by the end of the year. The company is already talking to non-Google partners about using the same algorithm because it could work equally well in large manufacturing facilities and even national energy grids.
DeepMind’s Research Engineer Rich Evans and Google’s Data Center Engineer Jim Gao said that DeepMind’s machine learning can be applied in any large scale energy-consuming environment. Given how sophisticated Google’s data centers already are, it is a phenomenal step forward.
Every improvement in data center efficiency reduces total emissions into the environment and with technology like DeepMind’s, machine learning can be used to consume less energy and help address climate change.
In its 2015 green energy report, Greenpeace had praised Apple, Google and Facebook for their commitments to the use of 100 percent renewable energy in their data centers. | 2019-04-23T10:02:53Z | http://justmeans.com/blogs/artificial-intelligence-cuts-googles-data-center-energy-use |
Raymond C. Truex Jr., MD, FAANS, FACS, a highly accomplished neurosurgeon in Berks County, is retiring from Reading Health on June 30, 2017, after 50 years in the medical field.
Because of the profound impact he has had on the lives of so many in this community, Reading Health has invited patients and community members to a retirement reception for Dr. Truex on Wednesday, June 28, from 1 to 4 p.m., in Conference Center Rooms 6 and 7 at Reading Hospital.
Dr. Truex joined the Reading Health medical staff in 1990. Working as a neurosurgeon and cancer specialist with Reading Health Physician Network - Spine & Brain Neurosurgery, he has treated disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system and has performed highly specialized surgery on the leading edge of medicine.
He accomplished many "firsts" at Reading Health and in the Berks County area. For example, Dr. Truex was the first neurosurgeon locally to use odontoid screw placement to stabilize a fractured second cervical vertebra of the spine - the vertebra that plays a key role in a person's ability to turn their head.
He also was the first neurosurgeon in Reading to perform a craniotomy using plates and screws to secure the skull plate in place after it has been opened for brain surgery. He has been instrumental in treatment planning for patients who have stereotactic radiosurgery, a radiation treatment that precisely targets brain tumors and abnormalities. And, he was Reading Health's first neurosurgeon to learn and use a surgical brain navigation system that enables the surgeon to see the patient's brain anatomy and track the location of the surgical instruments in relation to the anatomy.
In addition to his busy neurosurgery schedule, Dr. Truex has served in numerous leadership roles at Reading Health and in medical organizations. At the Berks County Medical Society, he has been an Executive Committee member since 1996 and a Delegate for the House of Representatives PA Medical Society since 1998. Over the years, he also has served as Berks County Medical Society President; Chairman of the Executive Council; and Chairman of the Physician's Advocacy Committee, among other positions. He has been active with the Pennsylvania Neurosurgical Society, President 2001, and still serves as the organization's historian and on its Board of Counselors.
From 1975 to 1988, Dr. Truex worked as a neurosurgeon in numerous Philadelphia-area hospitals simultaneously, including in the Department of Neurology, Temple University Health Sciences Center; as Section Chief, Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, St. Christopher's Hospital for Children; and at Shriner's Hospital for Crippled Children, Albert Einstein Medical Center, Northern Division; Rolling Hill Hospital; and Doylestown Hospital. He also was a faculty member at Temple University School of Medicine, serving as Associate Professor of Neurosurgery from 1986 to 1988 and as Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery from 1975 to 1986.
Throughout his esteemed career, Dr. Truex has won numerous awards for his professional accomplishments, community service and teaching. Most recently, he received the Berks County Medical Society Compass Award 2017 and the Berks County Medical Society Award for 50 Years of Service, and the Reading Hospital Excellence in Trauma Award 2017.
After graduating from Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Dr. Truex received his post-graduate training in general surgery at Pennsylvania Hospital and his neurosurgical surgery training at Temple University Hospital. He served in the United States Navy Medical Corps, including in the Fleet Marine Force Pacific, 3rd Marine Division, in Vietnam, and with the Department of Surgery, Camp Pendleton Navy Hospital, in Oceanside, Calif.
Dr. Truex has improved the lives of countless patients in Berks County and across Pennsylvania, and he has enhanced medical training and medical services in the Commonwealth. Please join Reading Health in wishing him a healthy and happy retirement. | 2019-04-20T12:50:21Z | https://reading.towerhealth.org/news/2017/neurosurgeon-raymond-truex-jr-md-to-retire-after-50-years-in-the/ |

"Are you going to the Gladiator Games?"
That question is something I ask each time I play someone and it really is a twofold statement. Yes, we would love to see our event grow each year but mainly I ask that question because I enjoyed playing the game.
Community growth was the first bullet when we set out to create the Gladiator Games. We wanted a neutral place where everyone can come together, play the games they enjoy, tell amazing stories with their buddies, and meet new friends. That is something we strive to do each event but that also extends to events year round.
Going to a tournament event, like the Gladiator Games, is just one step on a journey as a player. It first begins when you're playing with your friend's house; building up the perfect list while talking strategies and tactics. From there you can that list to the weekly play night at your local store. The list might not be perfect but you gain experience of play and try to test out new units. Store tournaments culminate the growth by allowing you to get multiple games in a single day. By the time you make it to the Gladiator Games you'll have learned everything there is to know about your list. Even our event is a mere stepping stone to larger tournaments (Adepticon, LVO, Gen Con).
To have a great experience at tournaments requires a lot of practice and trying new things. Ask your store if they are hosting a prep tournament for Gladiator Games. Tell your friends that you want to see them there. Remember that all important question, "Are you going to the Gladiator Games?"
Salt City Gladiator Games is always looking to grow the local communities and help support our local stores. Contrary to some The Gladiator Games is not out to steal money from store owners. Supporting our event helps to build the overall community and keep stores in business. | 2019-04-26T02:52:00Z | http://www.saltcitygladiatorgames.com/2016/03/ |

Constellation Publishing, Preorder and Giveaway.
I had planned on recording a video update, but as it happens my ability to form spoken sentences has completely left me and instead I find myself staring off into space for about 15 minutes. I’ve had a pretty manic couple of days; so I thought now was a good time to fill you in on what I’ve been up to!
As the title of this post suggests, I have now formed and registered my own publishing company- Constellation Publishing Limited. The main reason for this is so I can obtain my own ISBN codes (the little barcode numbers I need to put the book on amazon and in bookstores!) By doing this, I’ve taken the slightly complicated route, but in the long run I think it will be more beneficial in terms of distributing the book. For the mean time, it really is just the blanket company under which I’ll be publishing my book, but who knows what I might do with it in the future!
I have literally just sent my manuscript off for it’s first lot of copy editing and proofreading. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I’ll have my finished copy and ISBN numbers, so it’ll just be the cover to finish before sending off for the proof copy.
I’ve been investigating more into preorder packages, the poll for that is still up and running so please do head over to my facebook page and vote!
Hopefully I can start designing a few things in the not too distant future, I’m so eager to get everything going now the business side is all coming together, and any suggestions would be a massive help!

The Northern Territory Government has reformed the NT Pensioner and Carer Concession Scheme, to make it fairer, more accessible, and sustainable.
The old scheme was outdated, unfair and open to fraud, which is unacceptable.
Some members were receiving much higher concessions than others, and many senior Territorians living in remote communities were unable to access the scheme at all. We needed to improve the accessibility and administrative arrangements for concessions, to make it fair for all members of the scheme, present and future.
Senior Territorians who will be 65 years or older this year, may be eligible for both schemes.
To be eligible for both schemes members must an Australian Citizen or permanent resident and be a Northern Territory resident.
How long do I have to be living in the NT before I am a resident?
More than 24 000 Territorians of the previous NT Pensioner and Carer Concession Scheme were transitioned to the new schemes. Existing members were required to confirm their details by 31 December 2018 to remain eligible for the new schemes.
What do members of the NT Pensioner and Carer Concession Scheme need to do?
Members of the existing scheme who joined before 8 November, 2017 will be grandfathered into the new NT Concession Scheme (NTCS).
How does the change affect members who joined before 2014?
Members of the NT Concession Scheme (NTCS) and NT Seniors Recognition Scheme (NTSRS) are required to confirm their details each year.
Does scheme membership renew automatically? | 2019-04-20T23:05:41Z | https://ntconcessions.nt.gov.au/?q=members |

This paper examines the causality between public expenditure and economic growth in Sri Lanka using time series annual data over the period of 1977-2009. In particular, this study keeps a special focused on various selected components of public expenditure by applying a multivariate cointegration and Vector Error Correction Modeling (VECM) techniques. The empirical evidence suggests, in long run, public expenditure on education, agriculture, health and transport and communication have positive and statistically significant effects on economic growth while defense expenditure shows a negative but a statistically significant effect on economic growth. Granger causality analysis confirms that there is a unidirectional causality running from education expenditure to economic growth, defense expenditure to economic growth, and agriculture expenditure to economic growth, which supports the existence of Keynesian hypothesis in Sri Lanka. Analysis also indicates that existence of bidirectional causality between health expenditure and economic growth, transport and communication expenditure and economic growth. Therefore, the findings of this study provide an important implication to policy makers to improve the efficiency of public expenditure by reallocating among sectors in a growth context. | 2019-04-25T20:00:54Z | https://kjm.sljol.info/articles/abstract/10.4038/kjm.v1i1.6445/ |
On 2nd of August 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait...At the time I was 8 years old (currently I am 14 years old) yet I do remember certain things vividly.
17 years ago I wake up around 10 A.M., I found my family all a wake and looking through the windows, when I asked what's wrong?
They said Iraq invaded us...I looked through the window and I saw columns of smoke everywhere raising in the sky with bombing noise which I already heard earlier but I didn't know what was it at the time.
I also remember my aunt (my mother's sister), she used to record stuff from TV and get them to us so we can watch it, because their house is closer to Saudi Arabia so they can get better TV signals, she used to write "Om Kalthoum" (She is a dead singer) on the VHS tapes to pass through the Iraqi check points.
I also remember when the Iraqi army blown up more than 600 oil fields (more than 1 billion barrels were either spilled in the sea or burned), the sky at 1 P.M. was more like 1 A.M. except there was no moon or stars!
The photo above of my uncle, he wrote our names on the missile as a gift from us to the army of Saddam.
The photo below is a snapshot from Kuwait TV (As seen on many Kuwaiti patriotic songs), my father was driving a school bus with almost everybody in our neighborhood on board, we had a road trip on the liberation day (26th of February 1991) to the north, I am the one in red.
realize that a war took place here.
First of all you should know that I hate talking about politics and religion, I do believe everybody should do whatever they want unless that would cross others borders.
Always keep in mind I HATE NO BODY!
Since you hate politics why did you start this blog?
Because I was treated like a piece of shi* by some people on flickr only because I am a Muslim/Arab (you can find more about it in July's 2006 posts).
They gave me a push to start this blog and make them mad LOL...I am kidding, I just want them to see what they don't usually see in their media (western media), what they miss seeing and what they don't want to see!

The song “Earth Angel” is classic doo wop music. “Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)” was written by Curtis Williams, Jesse Belvin, and Gaynel Hodge (uncredited). (For those who like music history, Williams was with the group The Hollywood Flames and was on their record “Buzz-Buzz-Buzz.” Please click here to read more and listen to “Buzz-Buzz-Buzz.”. Gaynel Hodge was also with The Hollywood Flames, The Platters, and The Turks. Hodge wrote and performed for many aritsts.) Anyway, back to this song, The Penguins released “Earth Angel” in 1954 on the Dootone label. It was the B-side to “Hey Señorita,” but it soon became much more popular and reached #1 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1955 and #8 on the U.S. Pop chart. It was also featured in the film Back to the Future. Since its release, there have been many covers. However, the version of “Earth Angel” by The Penguins is ranked #152 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Another honor is from The Library of Congress, which added “Earth Angel” in 2004 to the National Recording Registry.
The group was from Los Angeles and consisted of Cleveland Duncan, Curtis Williams, Dexter Tisby, and Bruce Tate. They got their name from the advertising icon for Kool cigarettes — that is, Willie the penguin. Also, there were a number of bird groups at the time, including The Orioles, The Ravens, The Crows, The Falcoms, The Penguins, The Wrens, and The Flamingos.
The Daily Doo Wop Rec Room has daily featured doo wop, rock and roll, R&B, or rockabilly songs that were hits during the first era of rock and roll (that is, from about 1952 until the British invasion in 1964). After a song is featured, it then goes into the juke box. You are welcome to listen to any of the 40+ selections there. Every weekend, there is a Golden Oldies Juke Box Saturday NIght, and the juke box is full of song requests from the 1950s and 1960s.

One of the best doo wop songs — EVER. Thx. | 2019-04-23T18:52:48Z | https://www.dailydoowop.com/earth-angel-by-the-penguins/ |
This command adjusts the scale of your radar, which affects how zoomed in or out the radar is. A lot of players use this command to zoom the radar out and have a complete view of the map.
Radar Scale A number between 0.25 and 1. The smaller the number, the more zoomed out the radar appears. The larger the number, the more zoomed in the radar appears. The default value for this command is 0.7.
Zooms the radar out. On most maps, this will show the entire map in the radar meaning you can see where all teammates are at once. When using a view that shows the whole radar, most players also use the command "cl_radar_rotate 0" to stop the map from rotating.
Zooms the radar in. This won't give you much map vision aside from where your character is.

Unidentified armed groups (UAGs) constitute a large share of violent actors in the ACLED dataset; approximately 15% of organized, armed conflict carried out by violent actors (e.g., government forces, rebels, political militias, communal militias, external forces) are at the hands of UAGs. There are many reasons why a group may be ‘unidentified’: the first is insufficiently detailed reporting, the second is complexity within the conflict, and the third is strategic. ACLED deals with the first and second reasons by triangulating and searching in multiple sources for further details of agents involved in violence. The third reason accounts for the largest portion of Unidentified Armed Groups. Due to their anonymity, UAGs can carry out violence on behalf of conflict actors – especially those who may benefit from violence but want to avoid responsibility for those actions. Government forces, for example, may benefit from violence against civilians in order to bolster the state regime and suppress any competition; however, state regimes may want to avoid publicly taking part in these activities, especially as a result of international norms. Under these circumstances, they might utilize UAGs to do this bidding for them. These groups have many similarities to political militias, especially in that they can often act as ‘mercenaries’ and do the violent bidding of elites. These political elites (governors, political party leaders, etc.) are similar to governments in that they do not want to take open responsibility for their violent actions by name.
Conflict involving UAGs has been increasing in the recent decade; these groups are responsible for an increasingly larger proportion of organized, armed conflict in Africa (Figure 1). Most events involving ‘unidentified’ groups occur in in Somalia (Figure 2). In Somalia, while the behavioral trends of identified versus unidentified groups are similar over time, there is a deviation in conflict battles involving identified groups since 2010 – in line with the major push for regaining the capital from Al Shabaab by the ‘Transitional Government Forces’ – now Government of Somalia – backed by the US and regional powers including Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. Late 2010 and the associated external intervention are arguably the major turning points in Somalia’s two decades of conflict.
Figure 3 is a map of the locations of conflict activity involving government forces, Al Shabaab, and UAGs in Somalia. Remote violence and civilian targeting tend to occur in the same locations as civil war battles, suggesting that the same/aligned actors may be involved. Figure 4 displays the conflict activity of government forces, Al Shabaab, and UAGs in recent years. As expected, government forces and Al Shabaab are most active in conflict battles – i.e., civil war conflict activity. UAGs and Al Shabaab feature more prominently in the use of remote violence and civilian targeting tactics in Somalia.
In previous years, when Al Shabaab was dominant, their rate of civilian targeting was low. The rate of civilian targeting by UAGs, however – especially in the same spaces in which Al Shabaab was active – was high. Figure 5 compares maps of the locations of Al Shabaab conflict activity and UAG civilian targeting. This suspiciously low rate of violence against civilians by Al Shabaab – coupled with the high rate of this activity by UAGs in the same spaces – suggests that UAGs may have been engaged in civilian targeting on behalf of Al Shabaab. Currently, with Al Shabaab no longer dominant, they are no longer able to allocate civilian targeting to be carried out by UAGs, and instead partake in the use of this tactic themselves as they compete for territory with the Somali military. Figure 6 depicts violence against civilians by Al Shabaab, depicting higher than average rates of civilian targeting in the past year by the group. Meanwhile, a similar pattern could be hypothesized in in the use of UAGs by government military forces. The Somali military, now enjoying dominance in the conflict, could be seen as ‘contracting out’ violence against civilians to UAGs, especially in spaces that it hopes to dominate and rule. For example, last month unidentified aerial drones struck Al Shabaab strongholds in southern Somalia (Hiiraan News, 15 March 2015). Figure 6 depicts violence against civilians by the Somali military as well, and depicts the lower than average use of civilian targeting exhibited by the conflict actor in the past year.
Figure 7 highlights the importance of including the conflict activity of UAGs in understanding the complete conflict landscape within Somalia – especially as UAGs make up a significant proportion of the conflict landscape: at times over half of all annual conflict activity in Somalia. Accounting for this activity is crucial in understanding the complexity of political violence, especially as a result of the strategic use of these groups within this conflict zone. Discounting the importance of conflict activity by these actors may paint the illusion of peace in what may in reality be a contentious area. See the ACLED working paper on this topic for further analysis regarding the strategic use of UAGs, especially in conflict zones. | 2019-04-19T07:03:51Z | http://www.crisis.acleddata.com/the-strategic-use-of-unidentified-armed-groups-in-conflict-zones/ |
Kirkland, WA. (November 8, 2011)– The Software Revolution, Inc. (TSRI) is being recognized as the provider summit thought leader at the GDS International FST Summit, which was held in Scottsdale, Arizona during October 24-26, 2011.
"TSRI - Thought Leader for GDS International FST Summit 2011" | 2019-04-20T08:49:43Z | https://www.tsri.com/news/242-2011-tsri-thought-leader-for-gds-international-fst-summit |
We recently held a contest to give away six bottles of Replace Sustained Release Electrolyte Tablets to some lucky reader. The rules for the contest were simple: just pick a number between 500 and 1,000 and leave it in the comment section for the review. The contest ended at midnight on Friday, October 30, 2015. The winning number for this contest was 876 and the entry closest to that number was given by “lectrichead”, or, as he is known to his family, Marc, who guessed 874.
Marc describes himself as a “middle-aged web site designer, who has always had an interest in biking but through years of sitting at my job I gained some weight and got pretty out of shape, and my biking decreased over time. Until one day my wife and I decided to lose weight and get healthy, and now I bike like crazy, as much as as far as I can possibly go and my interest in biking increases exponentially as time goes by, it seems. I also cross-train also. I live in northern New York, nearly as far north as you can go without falling into the St. Lawrence and reaching Canada.” You can follow his articles at the Random Bits & Bytes Blog.
For your information, we used a random number generator to select a number between 500 and 1,000 and that is how 876 was selected as the winning number. Apparently a few folks did not read the directions since they entered numbers that were outside the range of the contest. In addition, I normally word the rules to state that the winning number has to be the number closest to, but not over, the number selected by the random number generator.
Fourteen years ago I wondered into the local bike shop, Zion Cyclery in Zion, Illinois, to purchase my first “shop built” bike. The owner of the shop, Don Daisy, showed me several entry level bikes, but he suggested that I get a Trek bike because it was well built and had a great warranty. Well, I took his advice and bought my first Trek bike, a 4300 Alpha Mountain Bike. A few years later I bought a Trek 1200 Road Bike, then a Gary Fisher Big Sur mountain bike (made by Trek). In 2007 I bought my first Carbon fiber road bike, a Trek Madone 5.2. When my youngest son came back from Iraq I bought him a new road bike to help him adjust to civilian life—a Trek bike, of course. Two years ago this month I dropped a major chunk of change on a Trek Domane 5.9 Carbon Fiber Endurance Race Bike. Due to family medical problems and two brutal winters this bike has only been on the road for a total of eleven months (but I was able to get over 6,800 miles on this bike alone during that time). Unfortunately, last week a faulty component damaged the frame and the local bike shop told me the frame was going to have to be replaced!
Replacing a bike frame is not something any cyclist looks forward to, but this experience has really caused me to appreciate how Trek takes care of their customers! The local bike shop shipped of my damaged frame to Trek for inspection on a Thursday and by the following Friday I had a new (and improved) bike frame. I’ve had friends who’ve had warranty repairs with other brands of bikes and their experience was not nearly as pleasant as mine (their replacement took several weeks to arrive).
The Trek Care Limited Warranty gives the original retail purchaser of nearly all Trek bikes a lifetime warranty on the frame. This warranty is against factory defects, not accidents or stupidity (misuse, abuse, or neglect). However, if you damage your bike frame by trying to do a somersault off the roof of your house (obviously not a factory defect), Trek has the Trek Care Loyalty Program that will help you replace a non-warranty damaged bike frame at a discount.
The damage to my bike frame was caused by the BB90 bottom bracket—either the ball bearings were faulty or the bottom bracket was incorrectly installed at the factory. Regardless of the original cause, the bottom bracket got chewed up and damaged my Carbon fiber frame. I am convinced that what happened to my bike frame was a fluke—I’ve searched a lot of bike forums trying to find someone else with the same problem and couldn’t find one. Technically, this problem is not covered under the warranty—the bike frame did not have a “factory defect.” Here is where having a good local bike shop pays off! Grant Mullen, mechanic extraordinaire at Zion Cyclery, spent a good deal of time on the phone with Trek pleading my case. While the frame damage was not due to a factory defect, it was caused by a factory installed part. I was on “pins and needles” waiting for Trek’s decision. Thankfully, Trek went above and beyond what most companies would be willing to do and sent me a new bike frame (and fork to match). Since my damaged frame was two years old Trek could not give me an exact replacement, so they graciously offered to send me a much more expensive frame at no charge—a 2015 Trek Domane 6.9 frame (a much more expensive fame).
I think it is very important to point out that your local bike shop does not make any money while they are on the phone talking to the factory rep about your bike. Any extra time on the phone is pulling profit out of their business—they do it to provide customer service, not to fatten their bottom line. This is one of the reasons that when I need a new bike I never shop around for a lower price—I always go directly to Zion Cyclery because I know that they take care of their customers after the sale (and that can’t be said about a lot of bike shops).
In my next article I will tell you more about the 2015 Trek Domane 6.9 and how I had it spec’d out. | 2019-04-20T17:06:27Z | https://allseasonscyclist.com/ |
Hycon Ltd is a medical equipment and drug development company that proposes to design, patent and market medical devices and drugs associated with an endoscopic surgical niche for markets. So far, four devices have already been considered with the contribution of the prominent physicians and surgeons. Three different types of drugs have already been considered, and six patents are initially registered. The company projects a turnover of $15 million at the end of the financial year with all the patent applications having been already through a leading patent law firm.
The targeted market niches are well defined, and all are subjected to high progression trend, with the Endoscopic Variceal Ligation market projected to exceed $160 within a financial period of three years. The products and services will be marketed globally through email, television broadcasts, blog spots, Google adds, signage, fliers among other multiple marketing channels.
2. Working on the corporate identity, products brand names and particular trademarks.
5. Building effective company staff, infrastructure, while retaining experts for trial and compliance matters.
6. Discover and explore the available opportunities for second round financing so as to maximize the shareholders’ wealth.
In the startup plan of this company, the following elements are very essential, the legal cost of filing all the patent applications, the establishment of a good corporate image, the setting, and place of doing the business, compensation to the key managers and the founders of the company and formulation of a strategic plan of raising the start-up capital.
Hycon Ltd offices are located at 1236 Main Street, Anytown, U.S.A, the offices are temporarily leased on a month to month basis, hence this business plan call for the establishment of permanent corporate offices, R&D facilities, and other manufacturing facilities. These facilities are to be placed in Puerto Rico with 9,000 sq. ft.
Hycon Ltd intends to market three different products.
2. The Visi-Gator. This is a partly disposable device used to eradicate blood clots during different endoscopic surgical procedures.
3. The Visi-Lyser. This is a suction device used in laparoscopic procedures. The surgeon, therefore, can easily access the inside of the abdomen and pelvis through small incisions in the skin.
The technology used in these products is subject to six patents applications.
Visi-Band is pre-loaded delivery equipment used to apply multiple ligating bands remotely from the distal tip of an endoscope. It can ligate greater range of tissue sizes with a single band. This super-elastic Band innovation efficiently promotes the band material stresses such that it increases the apparent stretchability of the band.
Visi-Lyser can be used together with the Visi-Gator in laparoscopic processes and at the same time can be used alone.
These products have the following functional advantages over the currently available products like SpeedBand. They have a better visibility because of the side-mounting band dispensing device, and they offer higher protectively from dislodging of bands as they can load bands internally. Apart from the capability of carrying more bands at a time, these devices ensure a substantial reduction in manufacturing and assembly expenses. In addition, the equipment has a better field of view and increased mobility.
High degree of care has been taken to guard all potential claims of discoveries and possible antagonism from other technologies. All the patents have been assessed in the medical device field by specialists to Hycon Ltd with the first three relating to the Visi-Gator with the last two relating to the Visi-Band.
These components are easily sourced, and the multiple potential suppliers have been identified. Injection molders have been recognized to make the molded parts.
Marketing will be done through industry and trade and awareness campaigns directed to customer segments. Public relation, media, will assist in creating awareness of the existence of these products, their features, and particular usage. Visi-Band will cost $250 per unit. The Visi-Gator will have two prices based on the components. That is, motorized at $1000 and the suction component at $200 per unit.
Sales packages include both direct wholesale and retail sales to the foreign market distributors. The direct sales will mainly entail personal contacts, emails, and media to the key market segments. To cultivate direct sales to key target groups in the industry, a website, and electronic commerce will be used.
These financial projections are based on conventional sales forecasts for the whole of the first financial year. After completing the preliminary stages of this project, a subsequent venture funding is potentially available in the $5 million range. We have plans to monitor our cash flows and cash balances closely.
The break-even analysis presumes an approximate running cost of $360,000 per month. This includes full payroll, utilities, rent, sales and marketing and other miscellaneous expenses. The break-even target can endure Hycon Ltd in operation for one year and six months. | 2019-04-24T08:39:30Z | https://mypaperhub.com/blog-post.php?id_blog_post=238 |
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is becoming more and more common. The most common cause of this cancer is exposure to asbestos. When constantly exposed with insufficient protection, asbestos dust and fibres affect the mesothelial cells which make up the mesothelium.
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is becoming more and more common. The most common cause of this cancer is exposure to asbestos. When constantly exposed with insuffi-cient protection, asbestos dust and fibres affect the mesothelial cells which make up the mesothelium. The mesothelium is the outer lining that protects some of the body’s most vital organs such as the heart and lungs. The mesothelial cells become abnormal after lengthy periods of constant exposure to asbestos causing an array of problems. Due to the latency period and symptoms of this cancer, mesothelioma is very difficult to diagnose. Mesothelioma takes decades to mature and develop fully and this is why many elderly men who were exposed to asbestos thirty years before are just discovering they have the cancer. A lot of these men are currently lodging multi-million dollar lawsuits against the companies that exposed them to the dangers of asbestos without sufficient protection. The organs that are affected most by mesothelioma are the lungs. | 2019-04-18T21:06:56Z | http://info2mesothelioma.blogspot.com/2012/04/mesothelioma-basics.html |
Tuesday in the NBA give you the chance to play a bunch of OKC guys and then fill in the rest of your lineup along the margins. Such is the case when Atlanta takes the court against anyone. Let’s break down the NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings.
I suppose we can somewhat forgive Westbrook’s *off* game on Saturday when he only had 24 points and 10 rebounds in the win over the Spurs. Hell, he was only a game removed from the double overtime 24 point, 24 assist, 13 rebound loss to San Antonio two days before. Now Russ gets a much easier matchup against the Hawks who run the fastest pace in the league and play the 25th ranked defensive efficiency. Westbrook is the clear cash game play on this slate with the Thunder -9 road favorites. It suggests the Hawks can at least stay in the game and the Thunder might not get buzzed on minutes because of the blowout. Russ is averaging his triple-double and will likely be a chalk play on this slate.
The Lakers are coming off an embarrassing home loss to the Cavaliers on Sunday. They are now 3-7 since Lebron James went down with the groin injury and Lonzo’s minutes and production have been erratic in Lebron’s absence. I do think the plan is to play the former high 30’s minutes when things are going *well*. He went 41 against the Cavs and finished with 13 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. I think we can expect some similar run in this game against the hapless Bulls. Ball is a value on both sites but you need to live with some of the variance in his game.
Jeremy Lin continues to see quality minutes off the bench for the Hawks. This isn’t a great matchup against the Thunder, but Lin might still have some value because he can put it together on a points per minute basis.
I see Schroder as a nice pairing with Westbrook and George (who we will get to in a minute) seeing as how the matchup is choice and if the game turns into a blowout it likely because these three poured on the scoring. Schroder will play crunch time with the starting unit if the game stays close and he sees enough non-Westbrook minutes to keep the usage in a reasonable range. He’s struggling from the field in the short term, shooting under 36% from the field over his last six games. That’s some serious run back with the scoring and he’s due for a bounce-back game in that respect.
Oh man, talk about a guy running bad shooting the ball. Over his last five games, Hart is shooting 29% from the field and 18% from three. These are just bottom of the barrel numbers and it’s actually making it tough for Luke Walton to keep him on the floor. I do think he turns things around and regression on some of those numbers would mean a serious buy-low opportunity even at these mid-tier prices. Playing the Bulls would represent a chance to take advantage of a soft defense and if Hart does pick things up (especially from beyond the arc) then there’s tremendous upside on this play.
If Gary Harris sits again then we would have another value opportunity with guys like Torrey Craig and Malik Beasley. The question is whether we have the news in time.
Stacking the OKC guys on Tuesday seems to make a lot of sense. They aren’t necessarily completely cost-prohibitive considering the matchup and there’s such a high floor on their fantasy scoring. George is averaging more than 22 shots per game over the last month and has found a way to co-exist with Westbrook. It’s led to higher usage and he’s still a value on both sites in this matchup. Like I said, I love stacking most of the relevant OKC plays on Tuesday because they give you such a high floor against an Atlanta team that’s running and gunning from the jump.
Few players in the game have 37+ minutes as an average amount of run, but that’s basically what you’re getting with Ingram these days. With Lebron out of the lineup, that’s basically what you are getting out of the guy and he’s been one of the team’s usage leaders in the short term. Over the last seven games, Ingram is averaging 16 shots per game and an 18 point, seven rebound, three assist average. It’s mostly the minutes I’m interested in here and he has such a high floor because of the above average court time relative to price.
Continue to consider T.J. Warren even with Devin Booker coming back.
With Dewayne Dedmon out last game, Spellman got the start and ran 30 minutes. He finished with 13 points and 6 rebounds while also chipping in four blocks. The defensive stats aren’t likely to be replicated, but you can expect him to get a similar a similar amount of run with Dedmon doubtful to play on Tuesday. Look, this is the Hawks so things can change at a moment’s notice without any hint. That’s what happens with bad teams after all. But Atlanta has at least been somewhat feisty in the short term, hanging with some teams much better than them. If Spellman is back in the starting lineup, expect him to be a popular punt on Tuesday.
I know we’ve gone full-on Thunder for this set of picks, but such is the case when you get the Hawks showing up on your schedule. From a basketball perspective, Grant is the consummate role player, able to play and defend multiple positions which helps him stay on the court for long stretches. He isn’t going to get a ton of usage in this offense, sharing the court with Russ and PG, but he’s also a willing defender (seven blocks over the last three games) and will typically chip in enough around the periphery to stay fantasy relevant. Again, I’m all about stacking the Thunder on Tuesday and Grant is just another way to pull it off.
If Myles Turner was ruled out once again, then Domantas Sabonis and Thaddeus Young would once again be in play. But Turner practiced on Monday and it looks like for all intents and purposes he’ll be back in the rotation on Tuesday.
The last of the OKC guys mostly because we are out of positions. Adams should be able to put in work against the Spellman/ Len front court and now the question, at least on FanDuel, only becomes which four Thunder we roster on Tuesday. With Nerlens Noel injured, the Thunder are short a center and that has meant even more minutes for Adams in the short term. He’s a double-double candidate in this matchup against a weak Hawks’ front court. The steals have been on point for Adams and he’s recorded two per game over the last six games. Against a sloppy team like Atlanta, those stats come even more into play.
I see Bro-Lo as more of a DraftKings’ play on Tuesday against the Heat. He doesn’t play a traditional center position for the Bucks. They use him more as a stretch five with Giannis and that does cause some mismatch issues for opposing teams who don’t want to follow him out to the perimeter. That could cause Miami some problems and at a weaker position I’m fine spending in the middle tier for Lopez’s three-point upside. | 2019-04-26T05:51:59Z | https://www.dailyfantasysportsrankings.com/2019/01/14/daily-fantasy-nba-basketball-picks-for-fanduel-and-draftkings-tuesday-1-15-19/ |
Last year at Punta Ala we were at the Marina with Felix to pickup the rib when I saw a couple looking for a rib too to watch the regatta, we indicated them the way to the office. Walking through I kept thinking 'I know this guy'.
Then I realized I was walking along the fastest sailor in the World, Paul Larsen, who achieved + 65 knots with his Sail Rocket II at Namibia few years ago.
Paul couldn´t get a rib, so we left and I left him at the dock ... ? No! Of course we offered him to come with us. At Punta Ala Paul got hooked with the As, he took home an Exploder A15 and now he is at Medemblik with his new Exploder D3.
Great for the Class to have such a character and renown sailor racing at Medemblik. What continues to impress me is that almost as a rule the real top sailors, the ones achieving great things at World level are some of the most humble of the pack. | 2019-04-24T23:54:46Z | https://www.catsailingnews.com/2016/06/paul-larsen-medemlik-cat-worlds.html |

Parents who argue, disagree and do not co-operate with one another are more likely to have distrusting, cynical and manipulative sons, new research suggests.
Psychologists at Nottingham Trent University and the University of Pécs in Hungary investigated different aspects of parenting and adolescent children’s personality.
They looked specifically at levels of ‘Machiavellianism’ in adolescents – a personality trait characterised by distrust, cynical views, emotionally detached attitudes and manipulation.
As part of the study, the researchers measured Machiavellianism and the adolescent’s perception of conflict between their parents, as well as the parents own views on the quality of their co-parenting.
The results, reported in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, showed that boys with high levels of Machiavellianism perceived their parents as arguing more.
The personality trait was also related to poorer quality co-parenting, it was found.
There was also a particularly strong relationship between fathers’ perceived poor quality co-parenting in the family and boys’ Machiavellianism.
The team says that further research is needed to understand whether it is the parents’ behaviour that is influencing their children, or that Machiavellianism in children is influencing parental quality.
The researchers found no relationship between parenting and levels of Machiavellianism in girls.
Previous studies have shown boys to be more vulnerable to family stress.
Whilst girls may still be affected by parental conflict, the researchers argue, they may be using different strategies to cope with negative family experiences.
The researchers interviewed 266 adolescents – with an average age of 16 – from 98 families as part of the study.
It is hoped that the findings could be used to help inform family interventions, for instance exploring how altering a father’s behaviour may help a child to trust and have more positive views of others.
“In our study, Machiavellianism in boys was related to more conflict and less cooperation among parents,” said Dr Loren Abell, co-researcher and psychologist in Nottingham Trent University’s School of Social Sciences.
She said: “Recent studies suggest that these characteristics may be learnt or emerge as an adaptive strategy following stressful or adverse family relationships. | 2019-04-25T15:47:40Z | https://www.ntu.ac.uk/about-us/news/news-articles/2017/09/fighting-parents-more-likely-to-have-distrusting,-cynical-sons,-study-suggests |

Red Team poses after winning regionals at the Boyd Law Center. They have now qualified to compete at the state competition.
Dressed in blazers and suits, the City High Mock Trial teams rolled into the Boyd Law School parking lot in hopes of claiming a regional title. They left hours later not only advancing, but having won the entire competition.
“The second team was much more aggressive than the first team, and that plays a large role into how we responded. The first round was easier because the team was passive,” Maya Durham ’19, a witness for the red team, said.
City High Mock Trial is composed of two teams, red and white. Regionals is made up of two rounds, a defense case and a plaintiff case.The red team placed first at regionals and will be continuing on to state, which will be held on the 27th-29th of March in Des Moines. They will be competing against 32 other teams.
“When the mock trial team started a couple of years ago I heard it was really rough and the progress that the coaches have made with their teams is incredible. Last year we had to petition for one of our teams to go to make state and this year we won,” Durham said.
The case itself is based on Karate Kid, with Terry Kreese from Cobra Kai Investments suing Danni Russo over securities fraud.
The team is now preparing for the state competition by practicing every Friday morning, during advisory, and on weekends.
This outstanding City High Mock Trial Team is heading to State AGAIN this year!! Good Luck Team!! | 2019-04-19T12:57:00Z | https://www.thelittlehawk.com/35675/news/mock-trial-team-wins-regionals/ |
