For Parkinson's Disease: Started Amantadine 4 weeks ago 200 mg per day. Noticed immediately occasional dizziness and diarrhea after every 100mg capsule, lost any desire to get up and do anything, Midway through the third week, I cut my dosage down to 100 mg capsule per day, taken every evening at 8 pm before bedtime and that helped me sleep better and as well increased movement in arms and right leg and foot. Happy to say I am very pleased with the results!
For Parkinson's Disease: Works better for stiffness and rigidity than tremors. I do see some minor leg swelling bu the benefits far outweigh any side effects.

Jamie, a proud 6ft tall Kiwi chick who loves a good pun and inappropriate jokes, works for an Australian coffee roaster and is a sucker for romance. Maddie describes herself as the Frodo to Jamie’s Gandalf. Maddie is a short Malaysian/Mauritian/Australian women, who is a self-described nerd – she loves shirts and suits, playing video games and reading nothing but fantasy novels.
Jamie and Mads have been together for a little more than four years and met through work, different companies but the same office. Mads worked in the Brisbane office, Jamie was working in Auckland, in the New Zealand office. A friendship grew into flirtation, neither knowing that the other was interested in exploring something more. There were a lot of quick weekend trips that followed, and a big hole was being left in their wallets until Jamie decided to make the move to Australia.
Jamie and Mads had talked about marriage, and from the get-go, Mads made it very clear to Jamie that she wasn’t allowed to propose – Mads wanted to do it. She wanted to be the one to pour out her heart and ask the question.
Mads kept a ring in her bag for months. There were a few hairy moments where Jamie would rustle through Mads’ bag, alas she never did find the ring.
I’d never been to Rarotonga, but I knew Jamie loved it there. I chose it because it was one of our first holiday experiences together, I knew it was going to be romantic, and I knew that her mum was going to be around so I could ask for her permission in person. Jamie loves the beach, so I knew it would be the perfect spot.
Being engaged hasn’t changed a lot for Jamie and Mads, other than Jamie getting a little more clucky. A two-year engagement has been perfect for them; giving them time to get ready for marriage and time to settle into the new phase of their relationship. They will marry in February 2019 at Waterfall Farm in Kaukapakapa, New Zealand – a venue they describe as ‘perfect’.
Wedding planning has been a dream. Both Mads and Jamie are organised people, and so a bulk of the planning and details were sorted well in advance. Their similar vision meant the working together went smoothly; Jamie’s eye for design and Mads’ behind the scenes work when it came to organising budgets for the wedding and the honeymoon, were the perfect match.
The wedding will be a big celebration of love; a ‘Wedstival’ style wedding, with camping options for guests in a rustic setting. Both brides-to-be are looking forward to celebrating with the people that they adore the most. They have guests travelling to New Zealand from Australia, the USA, the UAE and all around New Zealand. | 2019-04-25T23:43:42Z | https://dancingwithher.com/jamie-mads/ |
College basketball is about to get even more complicated.
The NCAA announced several major rule changes last week regarding student-athletes pursuing NBA careers. Undrafted players who are invited to the NBA Combine will now be allowed to return to school, “elite” high school prospects are allowed to have official relationships with NCAA and USA Basketball-approved agents and the recruiting calendar is changing drastically.
On the surface, these seem like positive changes. And some of them are.
The idea of letting undrafted players return to school is universally agreed upon. The NCAA never gave a good reason for this restriction in the first place, and this change is good for both schools and athletes. It used to be that players who entered the draft had until the end of May to make their final decision, but this new rule gives them the freedom to take chances with fewer consequences.
NCAA president Mark Emmert has long pushed the idea that student-athletes are students first – that they will never get paid by their universities and that the preservation of their amateur status is paramount in sustaining the integrity of college sports.
A devastating FBI probe shook men’s basketball to its core in February, exposing teams that paid players hundreds of thousands of dollars, directly leading to most of these new rules. One of the other rules the NCAA introduced last week was increasing the accountability of school’s presidents, chancellors and athletic directors when there is indeed a violation.
The problem is these rules don’t actually solve the problem of paying high school prospects.
These new rules are a middle ground between Emmert’s idea of amateur athletes and others’ desire for salaries for student-athletes. However, this only expands the gray area that is NCAA eligibility.
All agents will have to be approved by USA Basketball. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and Villanova coach Jay Wright – among other NCAA D1 coaches – coach for Team USA, which creates a conflict of interest in their recruiting.
The NCAA did not release how – or if – they would ramp up policing illegal player payments. Big time “elite” prospects like DeAndre Ayton can still get paid $100,000 by Arizona under the table, since giving players access to an agent with 20 other clients in their class is not guaranteed to deter future illegal deals.
Defining who the “elite” prospects are is an unknown process at the moment, and the judgement of these 17- and 18-year-old men could introduce even more corruption and confusion.
These young men will still be getting paid in under-the-table deals until punishments and consequences are actually enforced, not just used as threats. Instead of disciplining the three dozen teams that broke their rules, the NCAA is instead appeasing them.
Big-time programs that were not caught violating NCAA policies earlier this year – like UCLA – get the short end of the stick in this deal. Coach Steve Alford has been able to draw countless five-star recruits to Westwood in this one-and-done era while doing it by the books.
And now, the competitors who were seemingly going to fall behind the Bruins after NCAA and FBI sanctions will be brought right back to where they were in the first place. In fact, these rules could make it easier for teams to illegally recruit players.
NCAA players should not necessarily be paid, nor should they be voiceless “amateurs,” but the idea that these changes will get rid of the problems ravaging collegiate men’s basketball is far too optimistic.
Emmert and the NCAA are only prolonging the inevitable. | 2019-04-21T10:11:55Z | http://dailybruin.com/2018/08/13/un-connon-opinions-ncaa-rule-overhaul-cannot-end-corruption-in-mens-basketball/ |

Dan Brown’s latest blockbuster, The Lost Symbol has Professor Robert Langdon on a frantic quest to solve impossible riddles, trying to save the life of the leading Freemason in Washington D.C. Brown is as keen as ever for readers to know that “all the organisations in this novel exist, all the, rituals, science artwork and monuments in this book are real”. In this sequel to 2005’s programme The Real Da Vinci Code, Tony Robinson sets off to find the truth behind these claims and the novel’s plot. On his journey Tony must grapple with a world of impenetrable symbols and untangle the Freemasons’ strange involvement in the creation of the USA. He criss-crosses the Atlantic as he digs deeper and deeper to answer key questions thrown up by this complex novel. Did the Freemasons create the United States of America for their own secret purposes? Did they encode strange symbols into the streets and structures of the nation’s capital? What could they have learnt from 17th century alchemists like Isaac Newton? Can Tony use the power of his mind to move objects? And are the Masons really still powerful today?
Tony Robinson visits the United States, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and Africa to uncover the realities behind the terrifying vision of the end of the world in the Book of Revelation. It’s author wrote it sheltered in a cave on the Greek island of Patmos, probably a refugee from Roman occupied Palestine. He is also likely to have consumed the local hallucinogenic magic mushrooms. So rather than taking these bizarre visions literally, it might make more sense to try to understand them in their historical context. There are some 40 apocalyptic books from this era but this was the only one that made it into the Bible. As is usual with Tony Robinson’s programs Doomsday Code focuses on Tony’s opinions of the people he is observing, in this case Christians and Jews who support the state of Israel’s continued existance. Be prepared for an info-tainment program not a balanced documentary and you won’t be offended.
Tony Robinson embarks on spectacular walks through some of Britain’s most historic landscapes in search of the richest stories from it’s past. Episode 1 Stonehenge – Tony embarks on another expedition through some of Britain’s most historic landscapes. He begins with a 45 mile walk across Wiltshire, from Avebury to Stonehenge, telling the story of the remarkable development that occurred in the latter days of the Neolithic era. His route over chalk downlands and Salisbury Plain takes him through one of the greatest concentrations of prehistoric sites in Europe.
Tony Robinson embarks on spectacular walks through some of Britain’s most historic landscapes in search of the richest stories from it’s past. Episode 3 Cornwall – Tony takes a four day trek along the coastline between Plymouth in Devon and Falmouth, learning about the thriving smuggling trade in Cornwall during the late 18th century. The area’s tiny secretive harbours, beaches and secluded coves were ideal for illicit imports such as tobacco and brandy, and the business was so huge it threatened the national economy. Along his route, visiting such beauty spots as Lantic Bay and Polperro, he encounters all sorts of reminders of the trade and meets descendants of those involved.
This documentary argued that all British monarchs since Henry VII of England did not have a valid claim to the English throne. The programme based its thesis on the centuries old claim that Edward IV was illegitimate, born to Cecily Neville by an English archer while her husband, Richard, Duke of York was elsewhere in France fighting. The legitimacy of Edward IV was the subject of speculation at the time, and a document in Rouen Cathedral is presented by Dr. Michael Jones as indicating that Richard, Duke of York, and Cecily Neville were a hundred miles apart during the five week period when Edward’s conception must have occurred. This theorised illegitimacy of Edward would bar a rightful claim for himself and his descendants. | 2019-04-22T16:51:06Z | http://documentarylist.net/tag/tony/ |
Prior to 2006, chikungunya virus disease was rarely identified in U.S. travelers.
From 2006‒2013, studies identified an average of 28 people per year in the United States with positive tests for recent chikungunya virus infection (Range 5‒65 per year). All were travelers visiting or returning to the United States from affected areas in Asia, Africa, or the Indian Ocean.
Beginning in 2014, chikungunya virus disease cases were reported among U.S. travelers returning from affected areas in the Americas and local transmission was identified in Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Audi announced details for the all-new A6 Avant: the business-class station wagon in Europe. The new A6 Avant has plenty of engine options to choose from - two gasoline engines and four diesel engines. Shedding off the weight with lightweight aluminum framing while improving the engine performance, the A6 Avant is able to offer as much as 18 percent improvement in fuel economy (47 mpg) over the previous models. Audi A6 Avant is targetted to be at your local Audi dealerships in second half of 2011 at a base price of 40,850 euros.
Audi is launching the next generation of the A6 Avant, the most successful business-class station wagon in Europe. The new model presents the brand’s full array of progressive technological expertise. Its lightweight body, large portions of which are made of aluminum, sets new standards, as does the wide selection of assistance and multimedia systems. The keyword for the latter is Audi connect. The new Audi A6 Avant is available with a choice of six engines: two gasoline engines and four diesel units. Fuel consumption has been reduced by as much as 18 percent compared with the previous model. Topping the engine lineup is the new 3.0 TDI with twin-turbo technology and 230 kW (313 hp). Audi also offers numerous high-end options for the drivetrain and the chassis. The luggage compartment has a capacity of up to 1,680 liters (59.33 cu ft) and offers a number of elegant features, including a power rear hatch that opens in response to a sensor signal.
Audi is once again leading the way, with the new A6 Avant the trendsetter in the business class. With its lightweight body and many additional innovations, the seventh-generation A6 Avant is intended to write another chapter in the model series’ history of success.
Measuring 4.93 meters (16.17 ft) in length, the Audi A6 Avant makes a very agile first impression. Its proportions are sporty, and the low roof line flows into flat D-pillars. Audi offers LED headlights and rear lights as a visually and technically fascinating option.
The new Avant sets standards with its low weight. With aluminum components comprising roughly 20 percent of the body, Audi – the global pioneer in lightweight construction – has raised the bar once again. Gross weight has been reduced by as much as 70 kilograms (154.32 lb) compared with the previous model. The A6 Avant 2.0 TDI, for example, has a curb weight of just 1,640 kilograms (3,615.58 lb).
The luggage compartment has a capacity of 565 liters (19.95 cu ft), which can be increased to 1,680 liters (59.33 cu ft) by folding down the rear seat backs. Audi offers its customers numerous elegant features as options. Topping the list is a gesture-controlled, automatic rear hatch. Through the combination of the power luggage compartment hatch and the convenience key, a particular movement pattern below the rear bumper activates the system and the hatch opens automatically.
Audi offers a choice of six engines featuring direct fuel injection for the new A6 Avant: two gasoline engines and four TDI units. They develop between 130 kW (177 hp) and 230 kW (313 hp). This ample power is combined with groundbreaking efficiency. The 2.0 TDI consumes an average of just 5.0 liters of fuel per 100 km (47.04 US mpg).
All of the engines utilize the technologies from the Audi modular efficiency platform, which have helped to reduce fuel consumption by as much as 18 percent.
Depending on the engine, the new A6 Avant rolls off the assembly line with either a six-speed manual, the sporty seven-speed S tronic, the continuously variable multitronic or the convenient eight-speed tiptronic. In addition to front-wheel drive, the latest development stage of quattro permanent all-wheel drive is available as an option. The optional sport differential flexibly distributes the power between the rear wheels.
The chassis is also very sophisticated and combines sporty dynamics with excellent comfort. The Audi drive select driving dynamics system comes standard, and the new electromechanical power steering is extremely efficient. In the front-wheel-drive variants, the ESP electronic stabilization program featuring an electronic limited slip differential make the car’s handling even more precise. Options include the adaptive air suspension and dynamic steering, with the latter becoming available somewhat later.
The interior of the new A6 Avant treats its occupants with a sleek and clear design, uncompromising workmanship, generous appointments and exemplary ergonomics. Among the high-end options are a head-up display, adaptive light with variable headlight range control, front seats with ventilation and massage function, and numerous infotainment components. Topping the range of infotainment options are the hard drive-based navigation system MMI navigation plus and the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System.
Audi connect, a fully fledged Internet connection, also places the new Audi A6 Avant at the head of the pack. In collaboration with Google, it brings special online services to the car, including voice-controlled points of interest (POI) search. A Wi-Fi hotspot allows passengers to surf and email freely while on the road. The Audi online traffic information service informs the driver in real time about how heavy traffic is on the selected route.
The new A6 Avant can be equipped with all of the brand’s assistance and safety systems for even more composed driving. Some systems work closely together with MMI navigation plus, further enhancing their capabilities. A new feature in the Audi lineup, the parking system plus with 360° display, will be available somewhat later. Four small cameras record images of the vehicle’s immediate surroundings.
Fast software combines these images and displays them in a variety of views on the large onboard monitor.
The Audi A6 Avant will be available for sale in the second half of 2011 at a base price of 40,850 euros.
The design of the newest model reflects lightness and modern elegance. It is every bit as characteristic for Audi as the sporty proportions. The Audi A6 Avant measures 4.93 meters (16.17 ft) in length and 1.87 meters (6.14 ft) in width, but only 1.46 meters (4.79 ft) in height. Its wheelbase has grown to 2.91 meters (9.55 ft) – a big gain over the previous model.
The engine hood stretches out far to the front; sharp edges frame taut surfaces over the entire length of the flanks. The low, early-sloping roof line and the flat D-pillars underscore the dynamic styling. The characteristic rear lights and the exhaust system’s two tailpipes accentuate the rear of the car. The optional S line exterior package provides for an even more dynamic look.
The optional LED headlights, which use light-emitting diodes for all functions, are another innovative feature. They make the front end with the single-frame grille featuring angular upper corners and high-gloss black struts even more distinctive. The xenon plus headlights, optionally available either on their own or integrated into the adaptive light system with variable headlight range control, provide excellent illumination of the road in any situation. The xenon plus units and the LED headlights are combined with LED rear lights.
A new composite construction concept makes the body of the Audi A6 Avant highly rigid, safe and unusually light. Many components of the occupant cell are fabricated from high-strength and ultra high-strength steels. The strut braces in the engine compartment and the bolt-on body components are made of aluminum and comprise roughly 20 percent of the body. The concept represents the transition to the innovative Multimaterial Space Frame, with which Audi is opening a new chapter in lightweight body construction.
The body of the A6 Avant is roughly 30 kilograms (66.14 lb) lighter than that of the previous model. Depending on the engine, the complete car is as much as 70 kilograms (154.32 lb) lighter than the previous model. The A6 Avant 2.0 TDI, for example, has a curb weight of just 1,640 kilograms (3,615.58 lb). Audi, the sector’s lightweight construction pioneer, has once again reversed the weight spiral.
Another strength of the composite construction body is acoustic comfort. Modern materials and construction methods reduce the interior noise level to that of the luxury class. Audi also offers special insulating/acoustic glazing as an option. The precise matching of all components and sophisticated hydraulic damping in the axle and drivetrain bearings provide for excellent ride comfort.
The luggage compartment of the new Audi A6 Avant has a capacity of 565 liters (19.95 cu ft). Its loading lip is low. The split rear seat backs can be easily folded down using the remote seat back release on the sides of the trunk to increase luggage capacity to 1,680 liters (59.33 cu ft). Lashing eyes, side restraining straps, bag hooks, a double cargo floor, a rail luggage fixing system, a dirt-resistant tray and roof rails are standard.
Audi offers additional details as options – a load-through hatch, a fixing set that uses the two standard rails in the cargo floor, and a power rear hatch with an integrated power luggage compartment cover. Making its debut in the Audi A6 Avant is the gesture-based control of the power hatch in combination with the convenience key. If the driver stands behind the car and makes a specific movement with his or her foot, two sensors open the hatch.
The accessories program includes many special features for transporting sports and recreational equipment, from a partition grille to a bicycle rack. The new large Avant is a powerful towing vehicle, with a rated towing capacity of 2,100 kilograms (4,629.71 lb).
The A6 Avant is available with a choice of six engines featuring direct fuel injection: one four-cylinder unit and five V6 units. Five of them use forced induction to keep displacement relatively low, thus improving their efficiency. The 2.0 TDI with 130 kW (177 hp) has the best fuel consumption figures. Paired with the manual transmission, it consumes on average just 5.0 liters of fuel per 100 km (47.04 US mpg), corresponding to CO2 emissions of 132 g per km (212.43 g/mile).
The 3.0 TDI is available in three variants: with 150 kW (204 hp); with 180 kW (245 hp) – a clean diesel version will follow somewhat later; and the top version with 230 kW (313 hp). The twin-turbo has a two-stage turbocharger group that delivers a maximum boost pressure of up to 3.2 bar, imbuing the 3.0 TDI with superior performance. The sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) takes 5.4 seconds (preliminary value); the electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph) is just a formality.
The 2.8 FSI with 150 kW (204 hp) uses the Audi valvelift system, which varies the lift of the intake valves in two stages as necessary. This allows the engine to breathe easier, increasing torque and reducing fuel consumption. The most powerful gasoline engine in the model series is the supercharged 3.0 TFSI producing 220 kW (300 hp).
All of the engines in the new Audi A6 Avant use the technologies of the Audi modular efficiency platform, including the start-stop system, the recuperation system and the innovative thermal management system that quickly brings the coolant and motor oil up to their operating temperatures. These novel solutions are a major reason why fuel consumption has been reduced by up to 18 percent compared with the previous model.
Like many Audi models, the new A6 Avant is available with a wide range of drivetrains. Depending on the engine, Audi offers a six-speed manual, the continuously variable multitronic or the sporty S tronic with seven speeds. The 3.0 TDI with 230 kW (313 hp) delivers its power to a highly efficient eight-speed tiptronic optimized for fast shifts.
The gears in all of the transmissions are widely spaced, a major factor contributing to their efficiency. All of the automatic transmissions are integrated into the engine’s innovative thermal management system. The differential lies in front of the clutch or the torque converter. This enabled the engineers to shift the front axle forward by 71 millimeters (2.80 in) compared with the previous model, to the benefit of both the wheelbase and axle load distribution.
The 2.0 TDI delivers its power to the front wheels. The V6 units are paired either standard or as an option with all-wheel drive. The latest evolution of the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system used in the new A6 Avant features a crown-gear center differential and torque vectoring for superior dynamics, traction and stability. Upon request, Audi will equip all quattro versions with the sport differential, which distributes the power in continuously variable proportions between the rear wheels. So equipped, the Audi A6 Avant rides as if on rails.
Sporty precision, powerful braking and superior comfort. The chassis of the new Audi A6 Avant combines all of these strengths to a harmonious whole. A five-link construction guides the front wheels; a track-guided trapezoidal-link suspension is used at the back. The wheel control arms are made of aluminum. The power steering is tightly integrated with the new assistance systems and is highly efficient thanks to its new electromechanical drive. It helps the driver to countersteer when braking on a surface with less grip on one side.
Depending on the engine, the standard wheels measure either 16 or 17 inches in diameter, with wheels up to 20 inches in diameter optionally available. Tire sizes range from 225/60 to 255/35. The brake system is designed for high levels of performance and durability.
All versions of the new A6 Avant regardless of the engine are equipped with the Audi drive select driving dynamics system, which allows the custom adjustment of key drivetrain, chassis and assistance systems in four modes – comfort, auto, dynamic and individual. An efficiency mode is also available in all models with forced induction. In this mode, all systems are weighted toward fuel economy. Another standard feature in the front-wheel drive Avant models is the ESP system with electronic limited slip differential, which makes the vehicle even more agile.
Avant customers can also opt for the comfortable adaptive air suspension with variable damping and the sporty dynamic steering, which will be available somewhat later. The dynamic steering system adjusts the steering ratio to the speed driven and supports handling at the limit with light pulses of countersteer. Audi has designed the S line sports package with particularly dynamic drivers in mind. It lowers the body by 30 millimeters (1.18 in) compared with the standard chassis, and includes large wheels, appearance modifications and many special details for the all-black interior.
In the interior of the new Audi A6 Avant, a decorative inlay known as the “wrap-around” encircles the driver and the front-seat passenger. The front of the instrument panel is elegantly curved. The entire interior makes a high-quality and functional impression. It takes up the light style of the exterior. The back seat offers ample passenger room. There are plenty of storage options and cup holders front and rear, with an additional storage package available as an option.
Every last detail in the interior of the A6 Avant demonstrates Audi’s exacting quality standards. All of the materials have been selected and worked with great care. Decorative inlays are available in aluminum and three types of wood, including a very modern, novel veneer of alternating layers of light and dark oak. A piano lacquer variant rounds out the choices. The interior colors harmonize as stylishly as the materials, which include a range of leathers up to exclusive Valcona, a very natural grade.
Audi offers a choice of particularly comfortable and sporty front seats, with the top models featuring ventilation and massage functions. An optional lighting package or the ambient lighting package bathe the interior in subtle, yet dramatic light. There is also a wide range of options when it comes to the steering wheels: three or four spokes, power-adjustable steering column, heated rim and paddles for the automatic transmission.
Like all Audi models, the new A6 Avant impresses with its logical, easy-to-understand control concept. Its instruments are clearly marked; the display between them – optionally available as the driver information system (DIS) with a five or seven-inch monitor – is controlled from the steering wheel. In the center of the instrument panel is a second, power-retractable monitor that is part of the standard MMI radio control system.
The innovative Audi pre sense basic safety system, a highly efficient automatic air conditioning system optionally available with four-zone controls, an electromechanical parking brake, cruise control and light and rain sensors are also standard. The engine starts with the push of a button. Audi offers an optional head-up display that projects important information onto the windshield in color. Another attractive feature is the onboard computer with efficiency program.
One of the many fields of technology where Audi leads the competition is infotainment. A wide range of modules is available in the new A6 Avant, topped by MMI navigation plus with MMI touch. Core features of the large hard drive-based system with the eight-inch monitor can be controlled via the touchpad. Topping the line of hi-fi options is the high-quality Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System that delivers crystal-clear sound from 15 speakers.
One groundbreaking option from Audi are the new features that are combined under the keyword Audi connect. With its UMTS module, the Bluetooth online car phone delivers the Internet to the A6 Avant. Special services are available in collaboration with Google. The graphics card in the navigation system, for example, integrates images and information from Google Earth with the navigation route. A Wi-Fi hotspot provides contact to mobile devices on board.
Two additional services are new to the Audi lineup, and thus to the market as a whole. The Audi online traffic information service draws on the movement profiles of hundreds of thousands of mobile phones in other vehicles to inform drivers in many European countries about traffic levels along the selected route in real time. Points of interest can now be searched for online with Google – particularly conveniently via voice control.
The MMI navigation plus in the new Audi A6 Avant works closely together with the optional driver assistance and safety systems. It makes its route data available to the control units for the adaptive light headlights, the automatic transmission and the adaptive cruise control with stop & go function. This enables these systems to better recognize complex scenarios and support the driver.
The heart of the assistance systems is the radar-based adaptive cruise control with stop & go function, which is active at all speeds between zero and 250 km/h (155.34 mph). It works closely together with Audi pre sense, which is available in a number of configurations. It helps the driver in many situations to reduce the severity of rear-end collisions with the vehicle ahead and their consequences, or even to avoid them all together. The new Audi A6 Avant has an extensive package of restraint systems on board in the event of a collision.
Audi active lane assist intervenes gently in the steering to help the driver keep the A6 Avant in its lane. The park assist system, which is optionally available with a reversing camera, relieves the driver from the hassle of steering when parking or exiting a parking space. The Audi side assist helps the driver when changing lanes; the night vision assistant marks detected pedestrians to make driving in the dark safer; and the speed limit display presents important road signs on the DIS display.
The parking system plus with 360° display, which is a new assistance system at Audi, will follow somewhat later. Four small cameras – at the front, the rear and in the housings of the side mirrors – record images of the A6 Avant’s immediate surroundings. Fast software combines these images, and the driver can call up various views on the large onboard monitor. This technical system enhances safety while maneuvering and when pulling out from areas with obstructed views.
The Audi A6 Avant will begin arriving in showrooms in key European markets in late summer. Its base price is 40,850 euros. | 2019-04-25T13:55:13Z | http://www.dieselstation.com/cars/audi-a6-avant-2012-a3532.html |

2018 has been an up and down rollercoaster for just about every living human being on the planet earth. If you are caught up on my most recent blogs, you know I started off 2018 with a depressing blow to my mental state. I felt like I’d hit rock bottom and there was no where to go, but up. Oh how right I was!
This blog is a recap of 2018 as I journeyed into my personal branding, expanding my family and really just living my best life! For those of you who have been following me for some time now, this will be nothing but a very positive flashback. For those who are just now tuning in to Typical BlaQueen and all the shenanigans and endeavors, this will hopefully be some inspiration and motivation for you to go after all that you want in 2019.
One of my goals made in 2017 for 2018 was to be invited as a guest on my first podcast interview. Podcasts are God’s gift to those who don’t do a whole lot of reading and a great way to be inspired without having to browse the internet all day. In the beginning of 2018, I was blessed with being able to upgrade my Android to an iPhone. This tiny level up opened a door, or should I say, an app into the world of Podcasts. BTW, I will be linking each podcast interview mentioned for your listening enjoyment!
I was honored to be invited to my very first Podcast interview in February of 2018 — That was hella fast, right? No Disclaimers Podcast, formally known as The Sabrae Show Live, would be the start of me taking on a few podcasting invites throughout the year. This initial invite was just a confirmation that speaking things into existence is the real deal. Since the our very first sit down the entire crew of No Disclaimers Podcast have become very dear friends of mine who I absolutely adore.
Within that very same month I was invited, again, to another guest seat on a Podcast by the name of MSR or Mind Stream Radio. This interview and sit down was a little more personal for me. The podcast creators are college friends that knew me very well before my Typical BlaQueen days. A huge shout out to Adam, Paul & Chris! I don’t think they truly know how good it felt to be recognized by my actual peers for leveling up and making my hard work pay off into something so positive.
In this year I got invited to a few more seats next to some inspirational podcasters like , The Wine Down with Mommy Matters and Champagne Chat with MrsBeverlyxo. But, the one I will forever hold dear to my heart, is being a guest on Stuck in the Middle Podcast. STIM Podcast is a platform for the Entrepreneurs, the Innovators and Move-makers of African Descent. Being apart of this podcast allowed me to share myself and my story with so many others. It also helped me with landing my first major brand collaboration.
As a content creator and Influencer, working with brands is one of the number one ways to become “known”, and more importantly, to make money. I’ve done a few brand campaigns and collaborations in 2017 but my ultimate goal was to get “chose” by my favorite brands of all time and be able to represent them in my community. Thanks to STIM podcast, my ever evolving content and my cherished friend, Dayna Bolden, I finally got the chance!
For 2 months I was able to campaign with Creme of Nature on 2 different projects. The Perfect Edges Campaign had me absolutely thrilled! That campaign allowed me to create content for them, take over their insta-stories and even do a few demos. It was amazing to be able to meet my local curl-friends in-person at the 3 week tour of promoting their new Pure Honey line. I went to several different Walmarts in the DMV to make sure you got to get first hand experience with Creme of Nature Pure Honey.
Working with Creme of Nature definitely boosted my confidence and had me pitching to brands more than I used to. Now, I am an ambassador for the hip and knowledgeable hair care line, The Doux, and landed my first make up campaign with The Lip Bar. The best part of all of this is that these are all brands I believe in and have actively been fan-girling over for some time.
Another brand collaboration opportunity I had was working with Curls Unleashed. Like Creme of Nature, this brand has been showing up on beauty supply shelves for years. I snagged this collaboration by shooting my shot in an email. If you haven’t learned anything this year please retain this: Don’t sit around and wait for things to fall in your lap. Make success happen! Working with Curls Unleashed had me front and center of their branding image at the Ubiquitous Expo. I also did some traveling with the brand to New York during NY Fashion week. Texture on the Runway was such a magnificent experience and I suggest every fashionable naturalista attend at least once.
I claimed in 2017 that 2018 is going to be my year of travel. I really kept my word with this one because it felt like every week I was on the road or in the air. I did a lot of local traveling from DC to Baltimore. My road trips even extended beyond B-more to Philly and New York a few times. My all time favorite and, longest, road trip was when I jumped into the moving truck with owner of Mess in A Bottle, Kalilah Wright, and headed to Essence Fest in New Orleans. The 17 hour ride showed no mercy on our knees and backs but we made memories as we got to our destination by any means necessary. Attending Essence Fest was another goal spoken out loud in 2017 that I made happen, even if it took some time to get there. If that’s doesn’t motivate you to physically go after what you want then, Sis, I can’t help you.
It wasn’t just road trips that completed my year of travel. I was '“flewed” out to Biloxi, Mississippi to host a segment of the 3rd Annual Mississippi Natural Hair Expo. I’m so happy to be able to fly back in March of 2019 to host again and meet all my friends in the ‘Sip!
My passport got stamped a couple of times because, this year, I was able to travel to Mexico, TWICE! The first time was with my Beau for our annual birthday trip. Our Birthdays are 3 weeks apart so we celebrate each other’s life by traveling together on the week in between. While in Cancun, this birthday trip went a little different because your girl got engaged! Yes! That’s right! Im finna be a Mrs.!
With my second trip to Mexico I ended up in Riviera Maya at a beautiful resort for the 2nd annual Destination Naturals retreat. Imagine a group of gorgeous black women with natural hair taking over, glowing and prospering. It was magical! I’m even happier I had the chance to share the experience with my mom.
Just about everything I’ve inserted into this post is so memorable and had great influence to me having a phenomenal year. Besides me getting engaged, I’ve had other moments that put me on the express train to cloud 9.
Meeting Gabrielle Union in person was at the top. I won two tickets to BlogHer ‘18 in New York where Gabby was a guest keynote speaker. She has been such an inspiration to myself and all women through her social media, I just knew I had to meet her face to face. I waited until she was off stage, circled around the backstage curtain and right before her manager whisked her off toward the exit I called out her name. She turned around and that’s when the moment happened. I Introduced myself, let her know how impactful she was in my life and gave me a big hug! She even called me pretty! Gabrielle is indeed the same positive light in front and behind the camera. I was so nervous my hands were shaking and the pic ended up being blurry.
It’s amazing when you finally get to meet the ones you are so inspired by. Another woman I absolutely admire spiritually that I had a chance to meet twice is Shelah Marie. Her Youtube Channel, Instagram and website, Curvy Curly Conscious are what women need in their life journey to becoming more Conscious of how we love ourselves. I first met Shelah while attending my very first Curlfest in New York and then again while working the Pink Carpet for The Naturalista Expo here in Washington, DC.
This past year I was able to hit so many of the goals that I had made. Sticking to your guns and going after what you need to be successful is a true confidence builder and a stepping stone for the new year. There were times I was ready to wash my hands of everything I was working on. I can honesty admit that I questioned if what I was doing really what I wanted to put my time and energy into. The best moment of 2018 was my very first Meet and Greet. To have people inspired and ready to go hard for their future and passion all because I’ve showed my journey, erased any doubt that I had. 2018 was a year for learning more about how much I inspired others and the inspiration they give back to me. This was also the year of confirmation. Going into 2019 I will do everything with the attitude of “I belong here”! | 2019-04-23T22:10:41Z | https://www.typicalblaqueen.com/skin-care/2018/12/27/end-of-the-year-recap-for-2018-mljfe |

So we’ve got an underpass that like underpasses the world over is undesirable. A bridge that cost us a zillion bucks built to ‘celebrate the millenium’ that no one uses and now at last the bleedin’ obvious solution of yet another set of traffic lights that the ‘experts’ assure us will not hold traffic up on Castle Way. Given another ten years they’ll figure out yet another way to waste our money persuading confused Chinese tourists lost on the way to Edinburgh to visit a castle that has nothing to see in it anyway.
Hermes Handbags Serial dilutions were performed on the extraction solution accordingly. 1ml aliquots of each dilution as well as the neat extraction solution were aseptically dispensed into sterile Petri dishes in duplicate. Approximately 15ml of molten plate count agar was poured into each plate swirled and allowed to solidify Hermes Handbags. | 2019-04-25T16:07:00Z | http://www.bluegrottotours.com/a-bridge-that-cost-us-a-zillion-bucks-built-to-celebrate-the/ |
Ho Chi Minh City saw a high economic growth rate in the first six months of the year, but the growth was not sustainable as it has yet to produce a higher standard of living for city residents, or improve the urban environment.
The statement was agreed to by participants at the 18th session of the seventh HCMC People’s Council on July 5 to review the socio-economic performance in the first half of the year and make plans for the second half.
According to permanent vice chairman of the city’s People Committee Nguyen Thanh Tai, in the first six months of the year, HCMC’s economy continued to recover and experienced a high rate of growth in most fields.
The city’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) saw a year-on-year increase of 11 percent, equal to the pace set before the global economic crisis and higher than the total growth of 2009. Services increased by 10.8 percent, while industry and construction rose 11.3 percent and agriculture, by 7.5 percent.
The council’s chairwoman Pham Phuong Thao said though the city’s economic growth soared, the socio-economic situation has still faced difficulties and challenges.
She pointed out that the higher interest rates have troubled businesses and producers; the progress of many projects remained slow; traffic congestion and environmental pollution have not been completely resolved; lives of low-income residents remain still difficult; there were limitations in planning and construction management; management of cultural activities was not good and food safety has yet to be ensured.
Deputy Nguyen Minh Huong said the city’s infrastructure did not develop synchronously along side economic growth, which was accompanied by floods, traffic jams, pollution, housing shortages and a continued low standard of living for many residents, all of which indicate that economic growth has been unsustainable.
Deputy Nguyen An Binh said the evolution of the city’s urban civilization was too slow, while the city has become a huge construction site with fences and roadwork everywhere that has created pervasive disorder.
There were not sufficient facilities for people to practice urban civilization, he said, adding that roadbeds and sidewalks were still encroached by peddler’s pushcarts.
Deputy Nguyen The Thanh said while the sidewalk issue had yet to be resolved, the city has allowed a portion of sidewalks to be exploited, leading to the disappearance of pedestrian walkways on some roads.
Deputy Ngo Minh Hong suggested the city have urban policies to deal with violations relating to urban civilization.
Calling upon residents’ self-awareness of practicing urban civilization is not enough; violators must be penalized and strict sanctions are needed, he added.
Participants also showed their much concern over urban management.
Deputy Nguyen Van Minh complained that the city had planned to move schools and hospitals to a specific concentrated zone, but has licensed construction of buildings in the city center.
These buildings are for offices and apartments but they don’t have enough space for parking so people have to park their cars on streets, he added.
Deputy Ngo Minh Hong said the city’s construction density is lower than that of some regional countries, but it isn’t airy like these countries.
She blamed the city’s ineffective planning and urban management during the past years, which has led to overloaded traffic, disorderly construction and air pollution.
The ineffective planning had a bad impact on the socio-economic development, she added.
She said that though the city’s economy grew, living conditions for its residents were still poor due to floods and traffic jams.
Deputy Huynh Cong Hung, deputy head of the council’s Economy and Budget Committee, said new urban areas popped up everywhere while the planning agency failed to properly monitor them.
The planning agency could not keep up with the rampant unsystematic construction of urban areas, which led to patchwork development, in which many areas lacked water, power, transport systems, schools, hospitals and markets, he said.
Mr. Hung said the planning cannot be exclusively geared toward short-term benefits, but has to contain a vision for the midrange to long term future. | 2019-04-21T04:46:34Z | http://sggpnews.org.vn/hochiminhcity/hcmc-economy-grows-but-challenges-remain-41262.html |
Convert your PDF files into multiple output formats.
All PDF Converter 2.4.2 was available as a giveaway on June 16, 2017!
How would you improve All PDF Converter 2.4.2?
When working on a project as a team, putting together each and every contribution is perhaps the most demanding task since it requires a lot of attention to details especially as far as the transition between each section is concerned. Fortunately, there are utilities that can help you when dealing with such a task, and an example in this regard is PDF Merge, a program designed to combine two or more PDF files.
Always some people need only some pages in one PDF document for some reasons. That means if you are simply looking for an application that is capable of splitting PDF files, PDF Split Pro can help you make it easy to split one PDF file into multiple individual pages and see what's what.
I just installed successfully and managed to convert a 55 page pdf book to words docs. Couldn't figure out where the converted output goes but a quick check at their help page solved the problem. Developer may need to improve this. Perhaps should include 'save output to' above the 2 options.
You can also https://www.freefileconvert.com/pdf-converter an online free file converter to convert your PDF files into 100 different formats. There is no need to register an account to sign up and no need to download any software.
Program at first looks fine at first and runs well, turns out to be bad. Real bad.
None of the conversions really work. When converting a PDF document to a Word document, the file created looks decent, but 99% of the word/letter spacing is removed, why? Document is set to Russian encoding, causing Word to complain about missing content. Other formats are just as bad, causing programs to complain about the format not being correct and asking if I really want to open it. Obviously the author didn't do something right nor do proper testing.
Exiting the program throws an error message, asking if you want to quit. Seriously, it is an error to want to exit it?
This is _at most_, alpha level software, and is absolutely not worth even 1 cent, let alone $29.95. It simply does not do what the author says it can do.

I tested this program on XP sp3 and it installed and activated smoothly. I then tried it on a Wikipedia article exported to a pdf with pictures and text in two columns. Firstly I tried the PDF to Image option, set to extract all the images from the file. I couldn't find any output at all. I then tried the PDF to Word option, and a Word document duly emerged, the file size being about a third that of the original. The pictures were placed correctly, but sad to say the text was pretty messy. It was rendered in text boxes a few lines deep which cut across the columns and some overlapping of text resulted. Most of the spaces between words had disappeared, leaving long strings of letters. A conversion to plain text produced similar results, with combined columns and no spaces between words.
Copying and pasting the pdf's contents into a new Word document was much better, at least in this case!
Software installs, but crashes when trying to REGISTER it despite using the correct registration eMail & License code as found in the Readme file. The crash issues the following error "The type initializer for 'ᜂ' threw an exception."
This occurred on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. So, I then tried installing it on my Windows XP 32-bit machine, but the result was the same. Therefore, I uninstalled today's giveaway from both of my machines.

Ummm, dumb question perhaps, but HOW do I register/activate this?? I expected a window at the end of installation asking me to do so, but did not get one. If I run the executable, it comes up ok & allows me to select a PDF file, but if I select Convert it merely gives me a window telling me the benefits of "registering", but not telling me how to go about doing so, nor any information on how to "activate". It does not do anything beyond that. Does it matter that I do not have Word installed? I only use Open Office, but figured if it made a .docx file for me I could use OpenOffice to use it??
Duh - I did finally find the "register" option (it was hiding under my task bar & while fullscreen option did not work on AllPDF panel, when I eventually moved the screen up, I could see the field & register). However, anything I convert to docx format comes up blank under OpenOffice, or (in one case) with just the last line of the file appearing. Trying to change to doc format under settings does not appear to work (keeps defaulting to docx). Oh well, guess this does not work in my environment. Thanks anyhow.
lurkercat, Please use the Email and the key indicated in the Readme file.
I had difficulty to install the software. I had to cancell the process and do it again (on both of my computers!). Than finaly it installed but it took so much time. So different from other GOTD software and my experience. The programm is just showing a little screen (a mini screen) I can not make a full screen of it. Why is that?! :) I do not like that and I do not see that purpose.
Three strikes and yer out! Installed without problem but three attempts to convert PDF docs produced garbled text with many overwrites that made the conversions unusable.
I, for one, am very pleasantly surprised by this product. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer at jumping in and learning a new application. This one is a breeze.
It installed in moments since I had seen the advice on using the GAOTD email. My first impression upon opening the program was, "Oh, pretty! so simple!" I grabbed a PDF of a court form with lots of boxes and a few other formatting challenges, tapped the PDF to Word button and ran the conversion. It was over in a flash. I'd seen the comment about finding the output, but then glanced at the buttons for "same as resources/desktop" and found it immediately. The interface is so clean that there's no way to get confused. The output, while not absolutely perfect, was quite acceptable. This will save me a lot of time in the future. Bravo, and thank you!

PS, I'm also very impressed that the developers have been so attentive to us here. This is a company I want to do business with.
Vicki, Hi, thanks dear. We do hope our product can help you and we will try our best to make it better!
Installed easily on a Win10 64-bit machine. I ran 6 English PDFs of different types (including contracts, eBooks, and tables in portrait and landscape) through it and converted them to Word. They all came out nicely -- formatting was preserved and the text was readable and editable. It's a keeper.

Tried converting a smaller PDF newsletter. Roughly 70% left blank. The 30% which did convert (to .doc) were tables which looked perfect. However, they are images and cannot, therefore, be edited in Word or other wp's.
This will work for many but w/o OCR, scanning to an editable doc seems impossible.
Setup flawless. Tried converting a smaller PDF newsletter. Roughly 70% left blank. The 30% which did convert (to .doc) were tables which looked perfect.

Does it work with Hebrew files?
The converter downloaded and installed perfectly. I tried converting a short PDF to Word. A .docx file was produced. The converted document looked as it should when using Word Viewer. However, the document was unreadable when using LibreOffice 5.3. Could the publisher make the converted documents compatable with LibreOffice?
Very simple install and registration. I tried converting pdf to html and image and it worked great.
OK. so I installed and registered just fine. Tried out a couple of PDF conversions to Word. First one admittedly was a long document (not best choice for a test I guess) and it did NOT convert - ran out of memory. So I tried a smaller document and it finished quickly.
However, when I opened up the conversion Word document, it was not really a Word document at all - it was a set of images of the PDF in word file format. So if I can't actually EDIT any of the text as a word document, what good is being able to "convert" it? I thought I could convert to a functional word doc, not to page images in a word setting. If that's all it can do it's pretty useless to me.

2011 TRANSATLANTIC RACE FINISHES IN FORCE 10 WINDS!
Sasha in friendlier conditions! Photo by Amory Ross.
The 2011 Transatlantic Race from Newport, Rhode Island, USA to Lizard Point in Cornwall, UK, saw the final yacht finish the race in no Force 10 winds. Sasha, a 42-foot Sparkman & Steven-designed wooden yacht, experienced up to 55 knots of wind and 40-foot breaking waves in a storm that came up while on its final approach to The Lizard. The husband and wife crew of Munich, Germany had difficulty slowing the boat down, even with three reefs in the main and a storm jib. They were also taking on water and simple survival was the name of the game for them in the storm. Sasha did finally finish the race at 20:10 UTC on July 17, the last yacht over the finish line to take 5th place in IRC4 class.

In the early hours of July 15 no less than 16 yachts finished the 2,975 mile race. Of those 16 yachts, 10 started in the second of three starts designed to see all yachts finish at The Lizard as close together as possible. Ambersail started the procession at 02:58 UTC and the Race Committee was kept busy for a further four hours while the next 15 yachts finished. Beau Geste finished 19 minutes behind Ambersail, followed by Vanquish, Sojana and Varuna, all a few minutes behind each other. The last four boats to finish the day were Snow Lion, Nordwind, British Soldier and Carina, all across the line by 06:44. After 17 days of racing, Carina and British Soldier finished less than one minute apart!
The two Class 40s, Concise 2 and Dragon, battled it out until the end with Concise 2 beating Dragon to the finish line by only 29 minutes. The two skippers agreed that it had been close racing all the way across the Atlantic, making it an exceptionally memorable event for both of them and their crews.
ICAP Leopard finished the race on the 12th of July, having broken its bow sprit only 36 hours into the race. The breakage wasn’t even report until several days after it happened but the skipper and crew kept their spirits up, thinking on their feet and improvising where necessary while enjoying the race to the best of their ability in the circumstances. Although they had no chance of winning their class as a result, they still had an excellent performance picking up the 3rd place trophy in the IRC1 Class.
Soon after Leopard, Maltese Falcon finished the race. Also not in contention to win her class, she put on an incredible performance considering she is a large super sailing yacht and not a racing machine. First place in the Open Class in which Maltese Falcon was one of only two boats went to the bright orange Gunboat Phaedo which finished the race in just under 12 days, 15 hours and 43 minutes.
Line honours went to Rambler 100 on July 10, finishing the 2,975 nautical mile race in 6 days, 22 hours, 8 minutes and 2 seconds, a new record for the race from Newport, RI to Lizard Point, Cornwall, UK. Rambler 100 did not manage to take home the top prize however. That went to Puma’s Mar Mostro, the second boat over the finish line finishing in 7 days, 11 hours and 40 minutes. Puma won IRC1 Class and IRC Overall on corrected time after all results had been tabulated.

The 2011 Transatlantic Race was an exciting event enjoyed by all the skippers and crews which saw, for the most part, excellent conditions and fantastic racing with few breakages. Congratulations to all 26 yachts and crew who participated in this exciting event.

So I got a bit romanced out around Christmas. I just read a few too many Christmas romance novels in a row, combined with lots of Hallmark movies and I just... couldn't anymore. So I switched it up and read Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase & The Gods of Asgard trilogy.
I love Rick Riordan. His books are always exciting, funny, and have great characters. This trilogy was no different. In fact, I thought I might get a bit fatigued and was going to read something else in between the books, but I ended up hardly touching the other book because I was so into the story of Magnus and his friends. It was a bit weird to see Thor and Loki portrayed differently than they are in the Marvel Universe (I prefer the Marvel versions), but it was fun to read about Norse mythology- something I know basically nothing about (again, see Marvel). Magnus was a different MC- kinda soft in a way that Percy and Jason from Riordan's other books aren't- but I found that refreshing. I also loved all of the secondary characters- all of them totally compelling, as always (although I was happy that we finally learned more backstory about Magnus's hallmates in the third book).
I could gush on but you get the point. I always know what I'm getting with a Rick Riordan book and these ones did not disappoint. | 2019-04-21T16:33:40Z | https://melaniestanfordbooks.com/daydreamertowriter/2018/1/7/monday-reads-magnus-chase-the-gods-of-asgard |

We will be going to some new places, and some normal ones, ministering in new churches in Managua and Sebaco, and spending a good bit of time in Matagalpa among longtime and new friends.
Our main thrust will be the retreat, happening Oct 29 thru Nov 1. We will be assembling a small group from around the Pacific coast of the country, asking the Lord to come among us and bless. Please agree with us for this.
We want to go deeper in our relationship with the Lord and each other, asking to leave closer than we came, with God and fellow mortals.
We should be posting video and frequent ground updates here!. Check them out and let us know anything the Lord shows you.
Thanks for your friendship to the Lord and His people.
Your grace is sustaining our lives / life itself. Surrounded by it, without realizing it, we continue on as if nothing were steadying us.
The season when the earth has sorrows like a woman in labor is the season when the church takes child birth classes. Prepare!
For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison. | 2019-04-23T12:30:12Z | https://www.fxmissions.com/2014/10/nicaragua-straight-ahead/ |

IT jobs tend to require that IT contractors have either teamwork skills or customer service skills. With requirements like these, IT staffing firms find it imperative to ensure that the IT consultants they work with not only have flawless resumes, but can also avoid and defuse conflicts.
The best case scenario for IT recruiting agencies is to find IT job candidates who are capable not only of avoiding their own conflict, but also knowing when to defuse other people’s conflicts. Technical recruiters prefer to work with candidates who recognize that the first step to avoiding any conflict is to emotionally detach from a situation. Secondly, keeping the opposite perspective in mind is key to easily detangling a disagreement. Empathy never hurts on this front, either.
When it comes to positively impacting work conflicts with co-workers, IT staffing companies want candidates who are aware of when they are needed. Instances with IT managers and superiors should be avoided. These people don’t want inferiors attempting to resolve their issues. Issues between peers are better grounds to interfere on, but only minimally. IT headhunters don’t want busybodies. The only scenario that absolutely requires intervention every single time is when a disagreement is about to occur in front of or with a client or potential client. Keeping the client happy and confident in the company is of the utmost importance– and disagreements never help with those goals.

Luxury equals scarcity. A little of something soon becomes precious. Nowadays we are particularly short on two important aspects of quality life, namely time and silence. But there exists this unpolished island, in the Middle of Norway, where both are easily found.
Time here does not stand still, but it stretches. It is possible to spend hours just looking at white big clouds slowly drifting over the neon blue sky, or watch that fluffy vanilla coloured cotton grass sway on top of the juicy moss. Or wait, was it the other way around? It does not mater. Fosen will offer slow nature, just like the Italians invented slow food. With less distractions from city-sounds, and endless beeps, plings, swooshes and dings one get the opportunity to just be. Seconds will creep into the blood stream, filling the whole body with extra time to make quality thoughts, those again will produce quality inventions.
People of Fosen have a tradition of providing the life they want for themselves. They build their own houses, they find their own food. Because they have the passion, integrity and extra time to do so. The intense focus that Fosen can give just by being so simple, yet raw, will make you more concentrated about that specific thing you adore to do or perform. And when the enjoyable job is done, you breathe again. Although you never stopped of course, you just notice when you inhale, because there is no other plans on your schedule. That is life deluxe.
Silence soothes. It makes everything clearer. Walk anywhere on Fosen, and you can count on nature to speak the loudest. What you´ll hear is the brisk summer wind giving high-fives to the birch leaves as it passes by. The salty ocean when it splashes onto shore, forever smoothing the white stripes and folds of the black rocks at the end of the world. The deafening silence just before the trees are ripped of its roots by the storms. The cuckoo hidden somewhere up on a pine tree-covered mountain hill. Dripping drops of ice-cold fresh water, like clockwork, from the top of a rock at the end of an underground stream inside a dim cave. The moose eating grass at midnight. The thin cords hanging along the many flagpoles, strumming in and out, forming a choir sounding like mini church bells.
You´ll hear far, you´ll hear deep, you´ll hear yourself.
pale-yellow straws by the sea, has made sweet cuts into the souls of Fosen. The contrasts have formed the way people here seem to be ready for almost anything, at any moment. Because you have to be prepared. In the course of 24 hours you might experience the adventure of all four seasons. But each type comes in small quantities. Portioning itself out, little by little. So you can taste it all. Being the crisp cold of autumn, or the balmy beams of summer sun, both were deeply missed when they were not around. Scarcity, remember? But if you are missing a real party, wait for the winds to arrive.
right there, just minutes from their garden.
Brave were those men who said “so be it” to the crazy winds and winter waves, and undaunted set to sea. Brave were those women who waved farewell and unshakably turned around to keep everything neat. Today professions and industry on Fosen are a bit more stable. But be not fooled. The men and women of Fosen will still do whatever they have to do to survive.
It´s tattooed in the deepest veins of costal folks to get up and explore. So at one point, regardless of its dreamy state, one will finally, probably, leave Fosen. Although Fosen will never leave you. Demanding and timeless as it is, it might not take long before you have found your way back. It is tempting though, to just stand completely still, pretend to be invisible in the salty air you wish you could drink, and never depart. But like an eager silk scarf, blown up and away with the wind towards the silver lining in the horizon, both you and Fosen would want to be free. Just like the birds, the boats, and the never ending stories.
“I grew up on an island with mountains tall as valleys are deep with endless pinewoods reaching all the way to the sea, making the rest of the world accessible. An island filled with stories of love, loss and brave fishermen who risked their lives at sea to put fish on our table. Many of my family members were all fishermen, and they still are. They were modest, straightforward and unpretentious, and they continue to be so. It has been moments with pure bliss and big losses, and they never stop. | 2019-04-22T14:33:50Z | https://www.alexandrastandahl.com/ourworld/the-heritage |
Crafternoon for July was a craft we have tried to do two different crafternoons, and each time it has rained. Solar dyeing using Lumi’s inkodye. It was starting to feel like a real cursed craft, even this time as over half of the attendees had to cancel right before the day. Then it was calling for rain! But the rain held off until after we got some items exposed, and I can’t wait to try it again with the leftover dye packs I have.
At first I tried making a pumpkin drawing with black marker on a transparency (I was ill prepared since I was expecting it to rain) that wasn’t very successful since it didn’t sit flat against my tote bag, so I tried again using cut paper and that one turned out really well. The Transparencies that my friend Stevi used also gave really great results, so I think I’ll have some made for the next time I try it out.
We did white elephant gift swap as always. I wrapped my gift in a tote bag I got off Zazzle. I like to pick up cute stuff for white elephant whenever I see things, and I got a few of these totes last Christmas when they had a huge sale. | 2019-04-19T00:36:43Z | http://www.mypapercrane.com/blog/2017/07/28/ |

Andy Moog retired in 1998 compiling a 372-209-88 record in 713 NHL games with Edmonton, Boston, Dallas and Montreal, with an 88-57 mark in the playoffs. Those numbers rank him among the all time greats of the game. His regular season victory total at the time ranked seventh among NHL goalies, while his .622 winning percentage is the highest among the 15 goalies who have more than 300 career wins.
Moog's 18-year career has seen the Penticton native star with Edmonton, Boston and Dallas, and finally Montreal, a city he described as "the best NHL city there is."
Andy Moog was born in Penticton, British Columbia on Feb. 18, 1960. You could say he was born to play goal. He is the son of Don (and Shirley) Moog who was a goaltender with the Penticton Vees when they won their World Hockey Championship in 1955.
Having grown up with a goalie for a dad obviously gave Andy an edge throughout his childhood years. After playing minor hockey in Penticton, Andy advanced to the junior ranks, first in the BCJHL, and then on to the Billings Bighorns of the Western Hockey League, where he was named a WHL all star in 1979-80.
Andy was the 132nd player taken in the 1980 entry draft by the Oilers. The next couple of years Andy apprenticed in the minor leagues with CHL Wichita Wind, where he became an All Star by 1982. In the meantime he did make 15 appearances at the NHL level. He impressed everyone in 1980-81 when the rookie all but came out of nowhere. After 7 games (3 wins, 3 losses) in the regular season, Moog was a surprise started in the playoffs for Edmonton. He went 5-4 as the young Oilers upset the mighty Montreal Canadiens!
After a strong showing like that, 1981-82 must have seen like a bit of a disappointment. Moog spent all but 8 games in the minor leagues. The highly rated Grant Fuhr walked into training camp and stole the starting job from Moog. The Oilers felt that Moog would be better off playing games in the minors than backing up in the NHL.
Moog redeemed himself in 1982-83. It was Fuhr's turn to stumble somewhat and Moog had a spectacular season. He went 33-8-7 in 50 games played and was the regular goalie come playoff time as the Oilers went all the way to the Stanley Cup finals before bowing to the defending champion New York Islanders.
That would be high point for Andy on an individual basis in his 7 year career in Edmonton. He starred with the Oilers for 7 years, winning three Stanley Cups (1984, 1985, 1987). However Moog had to share the puck stopping duties with Grant Fuhr. The dream tandem is one of the better goaltending duos in league history, but it did lead to frustration on Andy's behalf. Fuhr seemed to get the nod for the big games and especially the playoff games. Despite a 143--43-21 record in the regular season, Moog only got to appear in 11 post season games in the three years that he earned a Stanley Cup ring.
Andy did his best to play a team role as the backup but eventually wanted a chance to prove he was a number one goalie. Moog sat out much of the 1987-88 season without a contract and awaiting a trade. He played most of that year with the Canadian National Team and played for Team Canada in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. The Olympics were special as they were hosted in Canada (Calgary) and Moog was the star. Unfortunately Team Canada finished just out of the medals that year.
Following the Olympics, Moog was traded to Boston in exchange for Geoff Courtnall and Bill Ranford. Moog became one of the most popular sports figures in a town that has many popular sports heroes. Moog led the Bruins to two Stanley Cup Championship series (1988 and 1990), only to fall short to, ironically, his old teammates from Edmonton both times.
However Dallas felt they needed to get a slightly younger goalie who was capable of playing more games - this despite the fact that Moog posted his best goals against average in his 17th season. They went out and got Eddie "The Eagle" Belfour. Moog didn't want to finish his career as a backup, so he moved on to Montreal where he signed a three year contract in 1997-98.
Moog only played one season in Montreal, and he played very admirably. It was a bit of a surprise when he did announce his retirement, given his strong play and existing contract.
Immediately following his retirement, Moog got into the goaltending consulting business. He served in that position for the expansion Atlanta Thrashers until they entered the league. At that point he took a part time job with the Vancouver Canucks. He later would return to his home in Texas and work with the Dallas Stars.
Moog has several other endeavors as well. Most notably from a hockey standpoint he is the managing general partner and president of the Western Professional Hockey League’s Fort Worth Brahmas.
"It's an investment opportunity," said Moog "I own a small percentage of the team, and it's an opportunity to get a better understanding of hockey on the administrative side," he added. | 2019-04-20T12:21:29Z | http://www.greatesthockeylegends.com/2017/07/hockey-heroes-andy-moog.html |

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a whole lot of fun. It’s a testament to how to do a cinematic universe right. However, it’s not perfect. The most glaring issue involves their villains. Sure, there are a few standouts like Loki, and well…maybe the Red Skull? But ultimately, in order to build up their heroes, a lot of character development for the villains is left on the cutting room floor. Even worse, most of them suffered from just being evil versions of the heroes in question.
Thankfully, Phase 3 is just the remedy we need. As we come off the heels of Infinity War, we have to remember that the road to it was just as good. The most recent chapters in the MCU have given us some unique onscreen villains. Marvel seems to be learning from their mistakes, and here’s the proof. In no particular order, let’s walk through a couple of the best villains Phase 3 has given us so far.
Responsible for Crossbones’ attack, leading to the Sokavia Accords.
Caught Bucky with the setup and renamed him Reek.
Had the heroes throwing hands in the back of an airport.
Made Tony throw the whole superhero thing out the window for a handicap match against Steve and Buck.
Zemo is the perfect storm in a story where the heroes’ actions have consequences. Showing the world that people are affected by what the Avengers do. Hell, he hurt them so badly, these dudes stop talking to each other for two years. Not even Loki can claim that on his resume.
One of the most common complaints about the MCU is that their villains are a carbon copy of the hero, and it’s true. We’re looking at you Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Winter Soldier, Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, and Black Panther. Also, the lack of leading female villains and heroes is disturbing.
While Hela is only on screen for a good third of the movie, Cate Blanchet’s time as the Asgardian villainess oozes style, chews up every scene she is in, and wrecks havoc through Asgard like a boss. Hell, she had us excited before she even hit theater screens. If Thor needed a hammer to beat Thanos, let us not forget that he had his hammer and still couldn’t beat Hela.
Wreck shop on the “Warriors Three” in the seconds it took JR Smith to realize that the Cavs weren’t actually up.
Single-handedly sliced through the Asgardian army like Madara Uchiha during the fourth great ninja war on Naruto.
Had little brother (Thor) with one eye looking like his daddy.
For as little as we see her, she’s a walking undead storm and won’t let us forget it.
Okay, remember what I said about villains being a carbon copy of the hero? Well, Micheal B. Jordan’s Killmonger is such a good villain that he gets a pass. In this case, it works because Killmonger being the antithesis to T’Challa is the crux of the story. The two opposing views points are at war with one another and force both T’Challa and the audience to think about what and who is right and wrong. Plus, the amount of quotable lines Killmonger gives us makes him pretty hard to forget.
The best part about the homie Killmonger is that you understand him. Like many of us Black folks, he is just trying to fight through the years of pain and heartache that stretches from our ancestors to now. He wants to see his people free. And even though his methods are misguided, you see where he is coming from.
He’s a villain that makes sense and his character leaves you conflicted when you consider that there’s a certain logic behind his madness. What really puts him over the top is that he cast a shadow over the romanticized version of Wakanda we see earlier in the film. Killmonger constantly calls into question their years of isolation and power while people of color continue to suffer everywhere else. Killmonger is the perfect villain for T’Challa, because he is not a simple villain but a justified one.
Without a doubt, Spider-Man has the best rogue gallery in Marvel. Don’t agree? Come at me. It’s always exciting to see the movies tackle a new villain. For his first solo outing in the MCU, we get the Vulture, and Michael Keaton’s take on the villain doesn’t disappoint. If there is one consistent theme across all three versions of Spider-Man’s cinematic outings, it’s that his villains are sympathetic. These tragic characters work well against Parker’s everyman struggle.
Michael Keaton’s Vulture is just another victim in Tony Stark’s selfish crusade to atone for his own sins. He loses everything, goes to extremes to provide for his family, and will take out anyone in his way. The Vulture exemplifies the struggles of a working-class man trying to put food on the table and survive another day. It’s instantly relatable, and Keaton plays it to perfection.
It’s great to watch him become overly protective of the criminal enterprise that he’s built. He’s menacing when he needs to be and one of the smarter villains who is more realistic when it comes to what he and his crew can handle. He’s not out trying to take over the world or go toe-to-toe with the Avengers. He’s just trying to steal some alien and experimental tech to make it to tomorrow.
Infinity War is the perfect example of why all superhero sequels should focus more on the villain rather than the hero. I came into this movie expecting to see the Avengers’ toughest challenge and ended up getting Thanos’ journey. A journey that not only showed Thanos wrecking shop on the Avengers but took the time to address his motives and get to know his character. By the time the movie starts, he’s already torn through a planet protected by interstellar cops and a ship full of basically gods. He’s more than menacing or a threat. Even without the gauntlet, he’s downright terrifying with not only his power but also his conviction.
It’s that conviction that makes him so scary, because he is just as determined as the very heroes we champion. And in his mind, he is justified in his quest for balance because mass genocide has worked before. What’s worse is that he is willing to sacrifice everything he loves, his loyal followers, and even his humanity for his version of a better world. With the collection of each Infinity Stone, Thanos utterly dominates the individuals who we look for to save the day. What makes him one of the best MCU villains is that without a doubt…we fear him.
P.S. I’m still not over the snap. He took my boy Spidey away. He didn’t deserve that fade. I need him back.
Phase 3 isn’t over just yet, though. We still have three more movies left on the slate. From newcomers like Ghost and the Skrulls to the return of Ronan the Accuser and a second helping of Thanos, what are you looking forward to from future MCU villains? | 2019-04-21T02:53:30Z | https://blacknerdproblems.com/marvels-phase-3-is-on-track-to-fix-the-mcus-villain-problem/ |
What does it mean when you hear the term Classical Pilates vs. Contemporary Pilates? To start, those who follow what we call ‘Classical Pilates’ try their best to teach the Pilates Method as close to the style and routine as Joseph Pilates taught. While it is true that Joseph Pilates taught many years ago and has since passed, we have black and white photos, film clips, and his students that we can reference as a way to obtain our information. His most famous disciple, the woman who he chose to carry on his legacy, Romana Kryzanowska, stayed relatively true to his teaching methods and passed on his teachings to her own students. In 1998 she created the first Teacher Manual so that future generations would have actual documentation of the work. That being said, there are also some exercises that Romana adapted or even created that we often consider Classical, but with the caveat that it was from Romana and not Joe. Most of the Teacher Trainers that are currently teaching the Classical Method of pilates have been students of Romana, or students of one of her students (first generation or second generation).
In regards to apparatus, there are significant dimensions that are used in the manufacturing of equipment that make it Classical or Contemporary. Again, Classical apparatus stays as true as we know it to be to the apparatus that Joseph Pilates used. On the other hand, Contemporary apparatus tends to be slightly bigger, albeit definitely different, in the dimensions, and, the apparatus often allows for a lot more changes… for example, more springs, different angles of bars, eye hooks, more gears for different heights of people, etc. A Classical reformer is pretty set on 4 springs all of the same tension, up or down for foot bar only , 3 or 4 gears and not many changing parts (ropes, risers, etc). Likewise, a Classical Wunda Chair has a set angle from seat to pedal, and a Classical Spine Corrector has a much more shallow dip than a Contemporary one.
Which is better? Well, as a Classical Instructor, I certainly believe in the Classical method. I believe that the routine of the method allows us to deepen our practice with every session. We know what to expect, we learn how to make the exercise more, we engage the powerhouse in every exercise and there is a reason for the order … every exercise builds upon the previous one. There is a progression from one exercise to the next, and the apparatus is a tool to either correct alignment, develop strength, open hips or chest, work into extension, along with many other things. When doing Contemporary work that is typically different every time, uses lots of props, and is often changing, it is hard to find that depth as you are always trying to figure out what is next, where do I go from here, and what is the goal of each individual session, as opposed to what is the goal of my practice. That being said, I think that each individual needs to experience Pilates in their own way and decide what feels best for the body, mind and soul. As I like to say, Pilates is a lifestyle, not just a moment in time that you take a class. | 2019-04-22T01:04:10Z | https://www.providencepilatescenter.com/about-classical-pilates |

More than 180 people in Ashton-Under-Lyne – from toddlers through to senior citizens – joined the BAPS Annual 10K Challenge on Sunday 22 April 2018. The annual charity Challenge organised by BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) brought together more than 3,200 enthusiastic participants from towns and cities across the UK for a fun and healthy way to raise money for various worthy causes and local charities.
The funds will go towards supporting BAPS’s multifarious educational, community and spiritual activities in Ashton and Greater Manchester serving children, youths, families and the elderly.
This year’s event will also support the outstanding work of The Ticker Club in local communities across Greater Manchester. The Ticker Club is an association of ex-patients who have undergone some form of open-heart surgery or other cardiac procedure at Wythenshawe Hospital (UHSM), home to one of the country’s leading cardiac centres. The Club, founded in 1987, offers support throughout the North West to patients and families suffering from heart or vascular problems.
Previous national partners for BAPS and BAPS Charities have included Age UK, Alzheimer’s Society, the Anthony Nolan Trust, Barnardo’s, Breast Cancer Care, the British Heart Foundation, Diabetes UK, KIDS and Macmillan Cancer Support. Locally, the Challenge has helped Tameside4Good, Willow Wood Hospice and Our Kids in recent years.
The event kicked off shortly after 11.00am from BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Manchester, in Ashton, in the presence of Cllr Joyce Bowerman, the Civic Mayor of Tameside. Also present was John Phillips (Chairman of The Ticker Club), Nicolette Tracey (NHS Health Check coordinator), Matthew Hutchinson (Tameside Be Well coordinator) and other NHS colleagues.
After the opening ceremony, walkers, joggers and runners moved along the 10-kilometre route along Lees Road, through Hartshead Estate and back to Russell Street. Volunteers were stationed throughout the route to provide information, refreshments and look after the safety of participants. | 2019-04-24T20:38:26Z | https://www.baps.org/News/2018/BAPS-Annual-10K-Challenge-13363.aspx |
Having missed the opportunity a couple of times to get to HippFest, I decided that this year was going to be the one. We left London bright and early on Wednesday, in good time to make the first screening that night. And as usual, the journey north took longer than expected so we arrived at the Bo’Ness Hippodrome with barely enough time to take in the restored splendour of the cinema before the lights went down and the first film, Earth (1930) hit the screen. Now I have to admit that I’m probably not Alexander Dovzhenko’s greatest fan. While his films do have a staggering beauty I do find the storylines somewhat slow, the montage scenes done better by others and the politics sometimes deeply suspect. And Earth is a case in point. It’s hard to sympathise with those smiling peasants rejoicing in the delights of collectivisation when we know that millions were dying of starvation as a direct result. And despite this apparently being a restored print direct from the Dovzhenko Foundation, I did find some of the inter-title translations a bit suspect and one or two missing altogether. However, on the positive side, the newly commissioned score from Jane Gardner and Hazel Morrison was excellent, capturing the feel of the film beautifully. Then it was time to wend our way to the hotel, adjacent to the largest oil refinery I’ve ever seen, a wondrous sight in darkness (just think of the opening scene of Blade Runner but on a bigger scale and with more jets of flame sprouting skywards!). Just a bit worried about a stray match!
Thursday began with a trip to the Falkirk Wheel, a civil engineering marvel, connecting canals with a unique lift mechanism. Then it was back to HippFest and the first session of the day was a hugely informative presentation on Chinese silent cinema by Dr Xuelei Huang of Edinburgh University. This wasn’t a case of adding a bit to my knowledge or filling in a few gaps. This was me starting from a zero base level of understanding on this subject so it was fascinating to discover the pace at which cinema took off in China with a first silent screening in 1896 only a year after the first Lumiere screening in France. Screenings spread rapidly and purpose-built cinemas soon appeared. Film superstars emerged, such as Ruan Lingyu (left) with mass followings. Film genres in China seemed generally to mirror those in Europe and Hollywood, particularly slapstick, costume dramas and a particular emphasis on family melodramas. It was also interesting to learn that Chinese martial arts films didn’t begin with Bruce Lee, they were already in production in the 1920s and 1930s. A reluctance to fund installation of sound equipment in many cinemas meant that the silent era continued in China until well into the 1930s. Yet as in the West, much of this output has sadly been lost. However, in China this was not just as a result of disinterest and film stock deterioration but also due to deliberate efforts to eradicate past output for political reasons. The range of clips chosen by Dr Huang presented a fascinating picture of Chinese silent cinema both in terms of subject matter and technical sophistication.
In the evening, we watched a screening of Mania (1918) starring Pola Negri (left). I’d seen a couple of Negri’s Hollywood films and not been all that impressed but this was a revelation. Her acting ability, charm and sheer screen presence more than made up for the rather wooden leading man she co-starred with. Live musical accompaniment was provided by the Polish group Czerwie, in the form of a modern electronic score, perfectly complementing the film. So good in fact that I brought a copy on CD to accompany the long journey home.
On Friday we visited the Kelpies, the largest equine statues in the world and a magnificent sight. Then at HippFest we had the pleasure of listening to Bryony Dixon (silent film curator at the BFI’s National Archives) talk about how Britain’s film industry supported the 1914-18 war effort. Clips screened showed examples of subtle and less subtle propaganda, including an early animated example of real ‘in your face’ propaganda condemning the German torpedoing of the liner Lusitania. Also very moving were ‘roll of honour’ films, compiled from still photos of dead, wounded or missing servicemen and screened in their local cinemas. This was an interesting and entertaining talk, albeit on a serious subject, emphasising that the film industry’s contribution to the war effort in 1914-18 was very similar in style and scale to its more widely recognised efforts in World War Two.
Friday ended on a much lighter note with a screening of Exit Smiling (1926) starring Beatrice Lille. Hailed by Noel Coward as “the funniest woman of our civilisation”, this was Lille’s only foray into silent film. It was a joyous example of her comedic skills but also highlighted a Chaplin-esq talent for pathos with an ending that was more tragic than comedic. Accompaniment was by the excellent Neil Brand, playing on his birthday no less.
On Saturday, I ducked out of the morning comedy double bill and instead experienced the pleasure of a spin on the Bo’Ness and Kinneil Vintage Railway. This got us back just in time for a screening of a newly restored version of Variety (1925). This is a great film (despite the sight of Emil Jannings in tights!!) which I’ve seen before but never fails to delight. But today’s screening was special, firstly because the accompaniment from Stephen Horne and Frank Bockius was just out of this world and secondly because the quality of the restored print simply took your breath away. I’d also forgotten how good the female lead, Lya de Putti, was but have to confess I know next to nothing of her career. An urgent task when I get home is to find out more.
After a hasty lunch came the film I’d been looking forward to since Thursday’s talk on Chinese silent film, Daybreak (1933) starring Chinese screen goddess Li Lili (left). What began as a family melodrama concerning country workers seeking their fortune in the city then moved slightly disconcertingly into the realms of nationalist propaganda and the bleakest of endings. Lili’s performance lights up the screen and the film effectively portrays both the idealistic beauty of the countryside and the frenetic pace of city life. John Sweeney’s piano accompaniment, as always, captured the spirit of the film beautifully.
Saturday evening saw my only quibble with the festival scheduling, with what appeared to be an entirely avoidable programme clash forcing a choice between two films. I opted for The Wrecker (1929), in part because of the novelty of watching a film about trains screened on the platform of Bo’Ness railway station. This story of sabotage on the railways featured what was billed as ‘the most spectacular rail crash in cinema history’ but frankly this was a tad disappointing (had no one seen The General or Bridge on the River Kwai!) and was really a rather clunky British comedy-thriller. Not to be outdone, we opted for a race worthy of a keystone chase back to the Hippodrome and, breaking the habit of a lifetime, opted to go in 15 minutes late to a screening. And what a wise move that was. The film in question was Wunder der Schopfung (1925), in effect a documentary outlining the then current state of human knowledge regarding the universe, so modern in its look that you expected Brian Cox to pop up any moment to take the story forward. Combining live action, some very clever animation and lots of stock footage, it was just stunning. Being late in, we missed the introduction by Prof. Brown, Astronomer Royal for Scotland, but gather this suggested that some of the scientific accuracy in the film was questionable, even in the 1920’s. But it didn’t matter, the visuals just took your breath away. And the electronic score by duo Herschel 36 was superb, fitting the images so well. I understand that this film and music are going on tour in Scotland shortly. One can only hope that this tour extends south of the border giving more people a chance to catch such a great event (and me a further opportunity to see it).
And all too soon we were on the last day of HippFest2016. Our first film of the afternoon was Peter Pan (1924), with Betty Bronson (personally selected by J M Barrie for the part) playing a petulant Peter Pan and George Ali wonderful as the much-put-upon dog, Nana (and he also doubled as the crocodile!). The film looked beautiful and had the feel of a pantomime (there was even audience participation in bringing Tinker Bell back to life, yes I do believe in fairies, I do!!) One or two of the inter-titles were just hilarious, some intentional, others maybe less so. And the harp accompaniment by Elizabeth-Jane Baldry was superb, perfect for the film. Just a sheer delight.
All that was then left was time for the closing gala, a nine handkerchief melodrama Stella Dallas (1925). This I had seen before but still worth watching again, with Belle Bennett excelling in what was a brave acting choice in the often less than glamorous title role. Also worth watching was Lois Moran as her daughter. Who knows how her career would have gone if she hadn’t retired early from the screen. The film was accompanied by Stephen Horne on piano (and flute and piano accordion!! So much talent, its infuriating!) and Elizabeth-Jane Baldry on harp, with the premier of a new score composed by Stephen. Yet while I couldn’t fault either musician in any way I just wasn’t sure that a harp/piano combination worked all of the time. Maybe I need to see and hear this one again.
Then, all too soon,the festival was over. So what were the ups and downs. Well in terms of films seen, I so enjoyed Mania (1918) and Wunder der Schopfung (1925). Musically, all the accompanists were excellent although Stephen Horne and Frank Bockius were out of this world accompanying Variety (1925). But Czerwie and Herschel 36 amply demonstrated that modern electronic jazz/pop/rock scores can enhance a silent film just as well as traditional accompaniment. As for what I learnt, well I now know enough about Chinese silent film to know that I want to find out and see more. As for the downs, there weren’t many. Festival organisation was good with only one scheduling hiccup and everything ran pretty much to plan (although the 33 pages of A4 paper needed to print out our online tickets seemed a bit excessive!). In a similar vein, how good would it have been to be able to buy festival posters? And while no-one expects Bo’Ness to be a 24 hour city, it was a bit disheartening to find so many shops, cafes and restaurants closed so early in the day (thank heavens for Brian’s Café, a lifesaver on more than one occasion). But any downs were largely minor and did not detract from this being a great way to spend five days. I’m already looking forward to coming back for next year’s Hippodrome Festival. | 2019-04-21T02:14:55Z | https://silentfilmcalendar.org/reviews/hippodrome-festival-of-silent-film-hippfest-2016/ |

Positive regulatory domain zinc finger protein 1 (PRDM1), which is induced by antigen stimulation, can regulate all lymphocyte lineages.
Decreased MIZ1 Expression in Severe Experimental Acute Pancreatitis: A Rat Study.
AIM: We tested our hypothesis that Myc-interacting zinc finger protein 1 (MIZ1), a cell cycle regulator, suppressed inflammation, and therefore, represented a useful prognostic marker in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) complicated by acute lung injury.
Whereas the function of HYMAI, a non-coding mRNA, is still unidentified, biochemical and molecular studies show that zinc finger protein 1 regulating apoptosis and cell cycle arrest (ZAC1) behaves as a factor with versatile transcriptional functions dependent on binding to specific GC-rich DNA motives and interconnected regulation of recruited coactivator activities.
Dorsal root ganglion myeloid zinc finger protein 1 contributes to neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve trauma.
Peripheral nerve injury increases the expression of myeloid zinc finger protein 1 (MZF1), a transcription factor, and promotes its binding to the voltage-gated potassium 1.2 (Kv1.2) antisense (AS) RNA gene in the injured DRG.
Late onset neuropathy with spontaneous clinical remission in mice lacking the POZ domain of the transcription factor Myc-interacting zinc finger protein 1 (Miz1) in Schwann cells.
The transcription factor Miz1 (Myc-interacting zinc finger 1) is a known regulator of the cell cycle but also has cell cycle-independent functions.
Association of JAZF1 and TSPAN8/LGR5 variants in relation to type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Saudi population.
Various genes including zinc finger protein 1 (JAZF1) and tetraspanin 8/leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor (TSPAN8/LGR5) have been previously described to be associated with T2DM.
[Role of zinc finger protein 1 in rat liver fibrosis and as related to TGFb expression].
OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of zinc finger protein 1 (ZEB 1) in liver fibrosis and in regards to expression of the tumor growth factor-beta (TGFb) signaling factor using a rat model system.
ZNF16 (HZF1) promotes erythropoiesis and megakaryocytopoiesis via regulation of the c-KIT gene.
We previously characterized the zinc finger protein gene HZF1 [also known as ZNF16 (zinc finger protein 16)] and demonstrated its important roles in erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells.
The effects of sonic hedgehog signaling pathway components on non-small-cell lung cancer progression and clinical outcome.
We investigated the clinical and pathological significances of the Shh pathway and of its lymphangiogenic components in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), namely, Shh, glioma-associated oncogene homolog zinc finger protein 1 (Gli1), lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (LYVE-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D).
The transcription factor Miz-1 is required for embryonic and stress-induced erythropoiesis but dispensable for adult erythropoiesis.
Myc-interacting zinc finger protein 1 (Miz-1) is a BTB/POZ domain transcription factor that regulates complex processes such as proliferation and apoptosis.
Zinc finger protein HZF1 promotes K562 cell proliferation by interacting with and inhibiting INCA1.
HZF1 plays a role in cell cycle regulation, and may function by enhanceing CDK2 activity by interaction with and inhibition of INCA1.
The role of the transcription factor Miz-1 in lymphocyte development and lymphomagenesis-Binding Myc makes the difference.
The Myc interacting zinc finger protein 1 (Miz-1) is a BTB/POZ domain containing transcription factor that can function as an activator or repressor depending on its binding partners.
Identification of HZF1 as a novel target gene of the MEF2 transcription factor.
MEF2 positively regulates the expression of HZF1.
Identification of the trans-activation domain and the nuclear location signals of human zinc finger protein HZF1 (ZNF16).
Report located the trans-activation domain at amino acid residences 49-197 within the non-zinc finger region of HZF1 and identified three nuclear location signals within the zinc finger region.
Blimp-1 is a tumor suppressor gene in lymphoid malignancies.
Blimp-1 is also called positive regulatory domain I-binding factor-1 (PRDI-BF1) or PR (PRDI-BF1-RIZ) domain zinc finger protein 1 (PRDM1).
Identification and characterization of a novel zinc finger protein (HZF1) gene and its function in erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells.
The antisense method and RNA interference assay revealed that repression of the intrinsic expression of HZF1 blocked the hemin-induced erythroid differentiation and reduced the PMA-induced megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells. | 2019-04-25T04:00:17Z | https://www.gopubmed.org/zinc+finger+protein+1.html |

I had called your office on a Monday morning to see if I could be fit in for an appointment as soon as possible because of a complication I had over the weekend. Being a new patient and never being seen at your office before it didn’t matter because the woman who answered was not only kind, friendly and sympathetic of my situation, but she was able to fit me in that very same afternoon. I have to say how incredibly impressed I was with the entire staff at this office but even more so with Dr. Sharma and Dr. Hecht. Their bedside manners are second to none. Thank you!
My name is Sharie M. I came to see Dr. Sharma because a friend (who is a nurse) told me I should come and see him about my vein in my legs. I was I was having heaviness and discomfort in my legs and would have to elevate my legs a couple of times a day so that the discomfort and pain would ease. Dr. Sharma is a wonderful, compassionate, person. He also has a very caring and friendly staff. After Dr. Sharma treated my veins (he located five veins) my legs are feeling much better. I can be on my feet much longer period of times and don’t have all that pain anymore. I can’t thank him enough — just love him.
I have had two treatments with AZ Vein and Laser Institute and I am so pleased with the results of the treatments. I feel 95% better already with only one more treatment to go. The office staff are professional and very nice. Dr. Sharma is very thorough and explained everything step by step. I am very pleased with everything, I would definitely recommend anyone with vein problems or leg pains to come to this clinic.
I am a 74 year old female who had been bothered for many years with varicose veins, cramps in my legs, heaviness in both legs constantly and knowing that I wanted to feel better and not be troubled by my legs feeling sore and ugly with veins protruding and painful all the time. I happened to see Dr. Sharma on a TV show talking about vein surgery (laser) and how he was able to help those who had situations like mine was, so I took the information and called to see what I could do about mine. I felt he had extremely great credentials and wanted to make an appointment to check out what he could do for me. I finally started last year getting my legs better. I got back to being me and becoming better able to now walk 2-3 times a week, 2 miles each time with absolutely no problems and I feel great. I have even recommended him to several others.
Thank you Dr. Sharma and your staff. I was in a lot of pain. My legs cramped at night and often would swell. I would suffer with achy legs when I would get up to walk. My daughter suggested I see Dr. Sharma for an evaluation. Sure enough, I had several veins that were failing to perform correctly which was causing all of my problems! I had those veins treated by Dr. Sharma. He is wonderful! Gentle, caring and very knowledgeable. His staff is also caring and helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I am so happy that I had the vein treatments done on my legs. It has helped me so much, and I can walk further now after the treatments. Thank you Dr. Payne.
My name is Romelia R., I started my treatment with Dr. Sharma and now I feel much better my legs have lots of improvements and I feel great. Dr. Sharma and his office staff made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend other people to him.
I had a very positive experience at AZ Vein and Laser. Every single person I encountered from the front desk staff to the ultrasound technicians. They were always friendly and professional. I appreciated that the office would work with me to schedule or reschedule appointments with my work schedule. I immediately noticed a difference in my legs. No more night cramps or swelling. I feel so relieved. I can not say enough about Dr. Sharma. He is so kind and gentle. Throughout the laser procedure he would reassure me and let me know what he was doing. He definitely made me feel comfortable.
To Doctor Sharma: Following the trouble with a varicose vein in my leg and ankle, I sought your help. From my first visit to the Office, you and your staff made me feel welcome and reassured. The procedure and treatment options were clearly explained to me, following an Ultra Sound and your examination of my leg, in the most professional manner. The Office Staff were extremely helpful scheduling the procedures at times to suit me. They have always been cheerful and welcoming when I came to an appointment. This also applies to Jimmy who reads the Ultra Sound and your nurse. I am absolutely thrilled to be free from vein problems now, thanks to your treatment of me. To anyone who wants to be rid of aching legs and vein problems, I would like to recommend Dr. Sharma. This was not the ordeal I expected and the treatment was pain free Now I am able to carry on a hectic lifestyle without any discomfort. Thank you Dr. Sharma so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to thank Dr. Sharma and his entire staff. It was indeed the best experience I ever had with any Doctor office. The entire staff were warm while being professional. I had noticed in the wall while waiting to be called an impressive certificate of honor for Dr. Sharma for being the best vascular surgeon perhaps in the entire country. Beginning with the office very clean and organized, the front desk were really attentive and friendly, they were nothing but professional. They were very helpful with all the initial paper works. They called my insurance company and delivered the big news to me that they are going to cover indeed most of the bills. Inside the office I encountered medical staff very well trained, very informed, friendly and the medical care was outstanding. Dr. Sharma along with all the nurses were thorough and very serious. They were kind and patient centered, they gave me a clear explanation of what procedures and follow-up. I am about to recommend this office to anyone who expresses an interest Thank you Dr. Sharma and staff for making my visit the best I ever had with physician. | 2019-04-22T04:16:56Z | https://veinandvascularaz.com/reviews/ |

September seems to be rushing by in some sort of hurry! I’m spending another day recuperating. I did wash some dishes, clean counters, wipe the microwave and fold laundry. My dear husband is making chicken spaghetti tonight for dinner! It is wonderful having a husband that knows how to cook.
Today I am working on some Fall dishcloths. My plan however is to use them more for decoration/mug rugs. I’m using acrylic yarn that I had left over from some baby pumpkin hats I made in the past. Cotton is best if you want to use them for actual dishcloths.
The pattern I bought from Krisknits on Ravelry.com. She suggests a smaller needle so the patterned picture will stand out. I am using size 3US needles.
I can’t decide if I will try the coffee mug pattern next or one of the leaf patterns. There are nine dishcloth patterns in the set.
Bonus Giveaway! If you would like to participate please leave a comment on this post by Saturday September 15th. I will pick a name at random and they will receive a pumpkin mug rug in the mail.
I have not yet blocked this piece which will give it better form and definition.
Well ladies, I must get back to knitting and my Donna Reed marathon. Thanks to Laura at Harvest Lane Cottage for the suggestion when I was in need of a show to watch. I might trade these pajamas for a day dress and pearls.
Hello! I would so love to have a mug rug made by you. I would decorate with it also because it would be special to me. Love all those patterns, wish I had the know how to make them.
Thank you for your sweet comment Vicki!
Hello Vicki, if you would kindly send your mailing address to smittywife07@gmail.com I will send you a mug rug this week.
Love the pumpkin mug rug. It’s just the thing I need for my desk. My tea often leaves a ring.
Hello, If you would kindly send me your mailing address to smittywife07@gmail.com I will send you a mug rug this week!

ROGER ARMITAGE, a partner in accountants Mazars, is to become a Town director in September.
The 60-year-old has worked on the takeover deal with his friend Ken Davy from the firm's office in Huddersfield and is to join the new regime when he retires at the end of this month.
"I'll obviously be taking a look at the financial side and making sure the club fits within Ken's parameters of at least breaking even and, hopefully, trading with a profit," said Mr Armitage, a lifelong supporter who has worked for the same company for 44 years.
"Ken has done his bit by rescuing the club and now we hope the supporters do their bit so that we can do the housekeeping properly. We can only pay out what comes in and we very much need as much support as we can get."
Mr Armitage and wife Wendy live at Linthwaite. They have a son, Martin, 32, who was educated at Colne Valley High, and three grandchildren.
Born at Holt Head and educated at Elland, Mr Armitage was senior partner at Revell Ward when Mr Davy's company, DBS, was floated on the stockmarket. He has known Mr Davy for over 40 years.
Mr Armitage's mother Elsie, who is 88, and his sister, Angela Waterhouse, live at Marsden.
His brother, Julian, sits in the Lawrence Batley Stand upper tier and has hardly missed a Town match for years.
"I have watched Town myself since the age of five and my favourite player was Dave Hickson, because he once travelled back on the bus with us into town!" said Mr Armitage.
"It still seems like yesterday when I was watching the unchanged defence, the Frank Worthington era was enjoyable and then the Mick Buxton teams when I was taking my son along to watch."
Martin works for accountants Simpson Wood in Huddersfield and his wife, Karen, is with Mazars in Leeds.
"I am looking forward to working at the club and with Ken," added Mr Armitage.
"I have acted for Ken since I was a junior in the firm and we have had a very good friendship and mutual respect throughout that time.
"Ken is a man of vision and what he has done fo the Giants and for Town is tremendous."
Mr Davy who has now rescued both major sporting organisations, said: "Yesterday was an historic day for the football club. It was also an important day for the rugby club, the Stadium and for the town itself.
"There were times when it looked like we weren't going to make it. The fact we have reflects credit on the whole town. In taking Town forward, I am keen to take maximum advantage of the synergy between the football club, rugby club and stadium.
"While the clubs will remain separate companies, each can gain in strength from the other and benefit from a financially sound, well-managed stadium." | 2019-04-19T13:01:29Z | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/accountant-armitage-on-board-5094566 |

The Child Nurse Costume includes a blue and white dress with a printed silver fob watch and a red heart on the front.
Also included with the nurse uniform is a matching white headpiece with a red heart and a coordinating heart shaped bag.
Bought these 2 nurse outfits for my granddaughters, who are 3 and 4, size medium as they didn't have small but I just hemmed them and they look fab. Great price quality and quick service. Would definitely recommend.
Arrived promptly and packaged well. My 4 year old grand daughter loved it and looks so cute in it! Well made and a good buy!
Purchased for our Granddaughter as a stocking filler. Good price, Wee bit big for her but she will grow into it. A good site for fancy dress which I have passed onto friends and relations.
I'm really happy with the outfit and the delivery I got it in a few days I would recommend you to others. I will be using you again.
The order was delivered on time and was exactly as advertised. I bought a small for my 3 year old granddaughter who is tall for her age and it fits perfectly. She loves it, especially the watch!
Have just bought this lovely outfit for my daughter and I very pleased with it. The service was great and the item was received really quickly. Would recommend ! | 2019-04-20T04:44:54Z | https://www.joke.co.uk/2310/child-nurse-costume~63534/ |

Do I Need to Have My Air Ducts Sealed?
A concern that we often hear from our valued clients is whether or not they are in need of professional duct sealing services. Not every homeowner operating a forced air heating and/or cooling system is going to require professional duct sealing. Those that do have such a need, though, can benefit greatly from this service. The issue is, of course, that your air ducts are largely hidden from view. That means that you cannot really just visually inspect your ductwork to determine if you do, in fact, require professional duct sealing in Des Moines, IA. That’s why we’ve put together some tips for you. Read on, and contact Schaal Heating and Cooling if you believe that you require professional duct sealing in your home.

Suppresses Soil Effluence to Maintain Environmental Harmony while Greening.
Takino Filters suppress erosion of the natural ground soil by mitigating the effects of rainfall, even when massive rains occur. The web, which is in direct contact with the ground, softens the effect of raindrops and allows for even distribution of water flow.
Artificial rain experiment by the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster.
Takino Filter growing mats, the National Disaster Prevention Science and Technology Institute subjected them to the equivalent of 100mm of rainfall per hour, for a period of ten minutes. A comparison was made to the amount of mud produced against standard greening methods.
Results proved that, with existing methods, muddy earth and sand was discharged, but with Takino Filters, clean water was discharged.

Food is fuel for our body. It’s what gives us the energy to get through the day. Most people know this, which has them wondering whether or not they should eat and refuel before hitting a yoga class.
The answer to whether you can or should eat before yoga is both yes and no.
Eating before a class will mean you have the energy and strength to get through it. However, it’s important not to eat right before a class. This can make you feel full and bloated, which may make flowing into positions hard. Ideally, you should eat no sooner than 2-3 hours before a yoga class. If you really need some energy before hitting the mat, consider a light snack 30 minutes beforehand. For a quick boost of energy, drink some fruit juice right before class.
It’s important to eat the right thing before a yoga class as well. Fatty and greasy foods will leave you feeling sick and weak. Yogis recommend eating healthy, light food before a class. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and more are good options. These contain healthy fats and natural sugars that will make you feel full and provide you with the energy necessary for exercise.
Having a snack after yoga can also help with maintaining energy levels. Smoothies, avocado toast, and other light meals are great. They’ll fill you up without undoing all the good work you achieved during class. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water before, during, and after yoga to keep your body hydrated!
So can you eat before yoga class? Yes, you can eat a light meal 2-3 hours before class or a light healthy snack 30 minutes- 1 hour before. Make sure to drink plenty of water, and plan a healthy meal about an hour after class as well! | 2019-04-24T18:22:53Z | https://bamboogardenyoga.com/qa-can-i-eat-before-yoga-class/ |

A very good deal for you, your community and the atmosphere. 1 2 three The 5 largest hardware retailers on the planet are The Dwelling Depot , Lowe’s (each of the United States), Kingfisher of the United Kingdom, Obi of Germany, and Leroy Merlin of France. The corporate says approximately 45 percent of web orders are picked up at the store, which it feels leads to extra in-store purchases.
A company that acts in your greatest interests to make sure you get the house you need. I figure because it’s raining and we can’t really work exterior, at the least get all the supplies again to the home. I wish to guarantee you that Lowe’s monetary place is strong and the fundamentals of the home enchancment industry are stable.

As my workweek winds down this Fri July 27, 2012, the news just in is that SYD is headed to Lynchburg in October. Woo Hoo!!!
The Jack is considered by many pitmasters as the most prestigious BBQ contest in America and is by invitation only. I’ve been trying for four years to get there as only one team that wins a grand championship from each state is chosen by lottery to attend each year. Teams that win 7 grand championships are granted an automatic entry as the Lucky 7. Each year, only a handful of the 5,000 teams in American can win 7 GCs for the automatic. SYD was able to win 7 for 2010 and 2011 but due to technicalities in each year, one of my seven did not count for each those years. So in 2012, I won 7 again and asked for it to be validated. I received a favorable confirmation today.
You are good to go! I will finally get to meet you in person in October.
Just let us know if you need anything.
My journey is in tribute to Teri Bishop, my co-worker in IT who passed away last year from kidney cancer. Teri dragged us into conference room in March 2008 to make us write down our Bucket List after she saw the movie of the same name by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. That started me on my weekend passion and the rest, as they say, is history.
It’s been an amazing four-year journey of 27 Grand Championships and TV show across the continental United States, Canada, Hawaii, and England, 70+ first places, 4 Team Of the Year TOY awards, donations to multiple charities, 40,000 airline miles, 150+ nights sleeping in my van and on the streets, and 100,000 miles driven. And, the help and support from 14 assistant cooks, plus a big dose of unwavering positive energy from my many friends, co-workers, and family across the US and the world!
I know Teri’s spirit is with me every step along the way.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for sharing this incredible journey with me.
Great job Herry! Congratulations! Your hard wark, dedication, passion and sacrifice has paid off! | 2019-04-25T02:41:30Z | http://www.slapyodaddybbq.com/2012/07/slap-yo-daddy-confirmed-for-jack-daniel-world-championship-invitational-barbecue-2012/ |
My friend Craig recently completed his personal project - thought I'd share it with the community. It's a fun way to actually interact with a "feed forward" neural network.

A survey conducted by Medecins du Monde in the health facilities of Gaza following the beginning of the Israeli incursion has revealed pre-occupying results regarding access to drinkable water, food and health care. Represented by Pierre Micheletti, the President of MdM France, who has recently returned from the field, MdM is alarmed by the deterioration of the health of Gaza inhabitants. MdM asks for the ending of retaliations against the civilian population.
The MdM teams conducted this survey before and during the incursion, with two samples of approx. 500 patients in 15 health facilities (10 primary health centres and 5 hospitals), which are representative and cover the whole of the Gaza Strip.
The survey shows that: Access to water and food has deteriorated significantly since the Israeli incursion: 70 percent had access to running water before the incursion, in comparison to 43 percent now. The number of meals by day has also been reduced (13 percent of respondents stated having one meal a day, which concerns 10 times more people than before the incursion).
The average time required to reach health structures has multiplied by four: two hours on average, in comparison with half an hour before the incursions and up to 36 hours in some cases.
The reasons for consultation linked to traumatology are increasing, in addition to those related to pregnancies involving a higher risk of premature or complicated births.
Regarding mental health: 91 percent of people interviewed had faced a violent event during the previous few days (“sonic booms”, bombings etc), and the majority of them (70 - 80 percent) presented signs of psychological trauma.
Based on these figures, MdM asks the Israeli government to put an end to attacks on the Palestinian civilians and, in particular, to endorse their responsibilities regarding the treatment of the injured. MdM requests that for humanitarian corridors be put in place in order to allow the sick and the injured to be treated.
Palestinian civilians are paying with their health for the price of the embargo imposed by the international community after the election of Hamas.
In the light of the G8 summit, which opens in St Petersburg on 15 July, MdM - along with many other organisations, asks for a re-mobilisation of the international community to support Palestinian institutions, and allow them to respond to the needs of the population. | 2019-04-20T12:58:47Z | https://electronicintifada.net/content/gaza-survey-regarding-consequences-israeli-incursion/2495 |
I am the Patagonia Grasslands Argentina Project Manager for the Nature Conservancy and a PERC Board Member. I had my first encounter with PERC in 2005 when I met Don Leal at a workshop in the Galapagos Islands. Don and I started talking about our passion for fly fishing, both in Patagonia and in Montana. I began receiving PERC Reports and sure enough in July 2005 I attend PERC’s Enviropreneur Institute. It was here that I started to think more seriously about how important markets, contracts, and property rights are if we really want to improve environmental quality.
I moved to Patagonia from Washington D.C. in 2008 to launch TNC’s grasslands program. The purpose of this program is to conserve grasslands on a large scale. Given the fact that here in Patagonia about 75 percent of the land is in private hands, our team is doing a lot of work with private land owners aiming to halt or reverse the desertification of grassland ecosystems. We are working with ranchers, businesses, policy makers, universities, and think tanks. TNC and our partners have a pretty big goal, which is to try to bring sustainable conservation to between 30 and 40 million acres in the next 10 to 15 years.
In 2010, I was lucky enough to be invited to become one of PERC’s Board Members — the first board member representing the enviropreneurs and the first international board member, both of which make me very proud. The Patagonia grasslands program is just one venture where free market environmentalism is working on the ground. PERC’s 2012 Enviropreneur Institute will kick off this weekend. Stay tuned for more innovative ideas from the field.
Keep up the good work! These are things that are worth fighting for, not just for us but for future generations as well. | 2019-04-19T09:11:33Z | https://thepercolatorblog.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/saving-patagonian-grasslands-with-market-incentives/ |

“No serious newspaper will survive in Iraq today unless the security situation improves. Advertisers aren’t interested. Locals can’t afford to spend much on a newspaper. As a newspaper owner, you’re in trouble,” said Mark Gordon-James, 25, the former finance director of the BAGHDAD BULLETIN, the English language newspaper that has gone belly-up. Established by a team of mainly young, adventurous British expatriates straight after the war, the paper showed early promise. Little did the team predict the persistent operational hazards – power outages to street crime – that would thwart growth from the beginning. All eventually kept advertisers at bay.
“Our mistake was to assume that Iraq would be better off three to five months after the war,” said Gordon-James who estimated losses at $20,000 and who argued that if there had been a genuine effort by the coalition to inject money into Iraq and get reconstruction underway, Iraq would have seen a massive influx of foreign investment.
For his part, Hassall was inspired by his mother to start the paper whilst on a trip to the UK from Beirut, where he had been studying Arabic at the American University of Beirut (AUB).
“A rich friend from Oxford gave me the start up cash. It’s a high risk venture that he did more as a favor for me,” said Hassall, who has an MA in chemistry from Oxford.
With funds in the bag, Hassall and Gordon-James braved the dangerous desert highway from Amman to Baghdad and published the first edition of the paper on June 9. Half of the initial $14,000 was spent on flights, a car, equipment and setting up the office in Baghdad. “Later, when things were looking positive, we got $10,000 more in seed capital from the same investor,” said Gordon-James, who added that the paper also received various donations of around $1,500 per month.
While inefficient printers and the difficulty of importing paper set the printing costs in Baghdad at $2,000 to $2,500 for a print run of 10,000, operational costs in Baghdad were generally cheap, said Gordon-James. “We were the cheapest newsmagazine in the world,” he said, estimating the entire costs of running the paper at $8,000 a month. “That is ridiculous for what it was.” At the height of operations, the paper employed 20 people, paying local staff members $50 per week – a huge salary for Iraqis who were used to being paid a pittance under sanctions-ravaged Iraq.
Nonetheless, without proper funding, the BAGHDAD BULLETIN was destined for failure. While the paper had ad agencies in Saudi Arabia (Saatchi & Saatchi) UAE and Jordan (Promoseven) and Kuwait (Impact/BBDO) lined up to sell advertising, only one ad was ever sold, despite the paper’s rate of 70 cents/cm2.
Gordon-James said that if the paper had backing beyond its shoe-string budget, it could have grown through an international circulation in Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, building sustainable ad sales revenues on the back of this. “But as it was, we couldn’t afford to even send our director to Kuwait just to sign the distribution agreement,” he said. By the seventh issue, just when regional interest in the magazine was apparently taking off, the money ran out.
Back now in his relatively serene home city of Grand Rapids, Michigan, an exhausted Enders has time to reflect on his surreal experience in Baghdad. “At one point it almost felt like we were playing some sort of bizarre prank, printing a newsmagazine in a war zone,” said Enders, who was invited to edit the paper by Hassall after they met while he was a visiting student at AUB. He recalls a fitful night before the first edition went to print where the staff had a “solid freak-out” about how the paper would be received by Iraqis.
“We had a very eclectic group of guest contributors, from Daniel Pipes to a human shield, and we weren’t sure how they would be taken by the population at large. I was especially concerned about being viewed as cultural imperialists, and also didn’t know what would be totally taboo,” he said.
The paper originally relied on overseas contributors for content, yet later employed local and foreign journalists. The foreign journalists, mainly young British university graduates were not paid, rather offered board and a chance to further their journalism careers. “They got a lot out of it, because it’s experience that counts for foreign journalists. They have to make a name for themselves, and we gave them the perfect excuse and safety net to come to a flash point and cover it,” said Gordon-James. Two of the Bulletin’s former journalists are now working in Mosul and Basra, respectively, as stringers for Reuters, another in Baghdad for the BBC and the Associated Press.
While Enders and Gordon-James convey a sense of exhaustion about their time in Baghdad, they impart a sense of thrill about their extreme, almost action-movie like experience.
While Gordon-James said he would have never risked the venture had he known the outlook for post-war Iraq, or the improbability of financial success given the start-up funding, he still views the founding of the paper as an achievement. | 2019-04-21T18:22:21Z | https://www.executive-magazine.com/business-finance/society/biting-the-bullet |
In Santa’s hideaway at the North Pole, there are a thousand large, equal plots of land and a thousand elf families.
Five hundred of the elf families own all the plots. Some have just one plot; no family has more than five plots. The other elf families have no land.
The currency is the Santo. Santa is considering introducing a land value tax and moving the currency onto the blockchain.
Until now, Santa had forbidden subdivision of plots and limited each plot to one detached, single family house of a given size. Every plot has a house. The houses are all pretty similar and are currently each worth 1000 Santos. Free and fast flying reindeer transport means there is no premium for being in the centre. Each house costs 200 Santos to build.
Santa has suddenly decided to allow terraced housing or mansion blocks on each plot, up to a maximum of ten homes per plot. The homes allowed are so spacious and attractive that they are just as appealing to the elves as the small single family detached houses they replace.
Each new terraced house or flat in a mansion block costs 250 Santos to build.
When everything has settled down, what will be the price of a home?
There is a full-reserve banking system, and the only loans are peer-to-peer. There is no deposit guarantee or discount window. Interest rates are currently 2% a year (for short and long periods) and there is no inflation. The currency is freely floating and there is plenty of international capital available for loans. Santa refuses to disclose his gold reserves.
Elves have no internationally recognized papers and find it impossible to get jobs abroad. No-one else knows where Santa lives so there is no immigration.
There is a highly developed competition law in Santa’s hideaway and any communications to create a cartel are punishable by death. All the elves are aware that Santa knows when you’ve been naughty. | 2019-04-25T00:22:21Z | https://www.londonyimby.org/blog/yimby-christmas-puzzle |
Is it correct BEM usage? Nesting block in a block still seems unclear for me.
@heihachi88 Yes, that's the right way.
@tadatuta thanks, rate-calc__internet means that i can't reuse that block anywhere, but only inside rate-calc, right?
Also why some people using a single dash instead of underscore, when referring to an modificator, e.g.: rate-calc__internet-active, shouldn't it be like so: rate-calc__internet_active? | 2019-04-20T12:34:29Z | https://en.bem.info/forum/74/ |

This book explores how the cultural distinctions and conflicts between Anglo-Saxons and Normans originating with the Norman Conquest of 1066 prevailed well into the fourteenth century and are manifest in a significant number of Middle English romances including King Horn, Havelok the Dane, Sir Orfeo, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and others. Specifically, the study looks at how the material culture of these poems (architecture, battle tactic, landscapes) systematically and persistently distinguishes between Norman and Anglo-Saxon cultural identity. Additionally, it examines the influence of the English Outlaw Tradition, itself grounded in Anglo-Saxon resistance to the Norman Conquest, as expressed in specific recurring scenes (disguise and infiltration, forest exile) found in many Middle English romances. In the broadest sense, a significant number of Middle English romances, including some of the most well-read and often-taught, set up a dichotomy of two ruling houses headed by a powerful lord, who compete for power and influence. This book examines the cultural heritage behind each of these pairings to show how poets repeatedly contrast essentially Norman and Anglo-Saxon values and ruling styles.

With 2019 already here, many people are already looking for information on the upcoming smartphones. One thing Crypto users can look forward to is the new Samsung Galaxy S10. A Samsung insider leaked images of the upcoming model and its native Bitcoin wallet feature.
The new Samsung Galaxy S10 is not available for purchase yet. Samsung however, reportedly already distributed the Samsung Galaxy S10 to accessory makers and merchants. The available information mentions an integrated feature named “Samsung Blockchain Keystore”. This feature will supposedly allow users total control over their private keys and digital funds and currencies.
Users are still required to activate the feature. Once enabled, users can start sending and receiving their desired Cryptocurrency with the phone’s native wallet. The leaked screenshot shows the feature only supports Ethereum, but this is probably due to the fact that the phone is still a prototype version.
One image also showed graphics related to Bitcoin, but it’s most likely at least 5 of the top 10 Cryptocurrencies by market cap will be included by the time the phone will be available for purchase.
A lot of people have started to debate that the smartphone in the screenshot is not is not a Samsung Galaxy S10. Upon closer inspection however, many experts noticed that the punch-hole camera is placed near the top right cover. People thought the images featured the A8 model with the selfie cam on its left side. Additional markers for the Samsung Galaxy S10 model are the single-lens selfie camera. The Lite version also features flat edges rather than curved so this leaves the Galaxy S10 as the only possible model.
Back in July 2018, Samsung Insights reported that the mobile phone is the most secure device to run a Crypto wallet on. This is because of the presence of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Unlike laptops or desktop computers, smartphones possess a native environment which operates independently of the memory and storage. This way, data stored in a TEE can’t be changed by the operating system, thus entirely eliminating all possibility of a security breach affecting the data stored in the trusted environment.
That makes cryptowallets so much more suited to smartphones than laptops and desktop PCs. If Samsung releases the Galaxy S10 with at least 5 cryptocurrencies in the native wallet, they will give competitors a serious challenge. HTC is already working on Blockchain phones and has stated numerous times that supports all Crypto development. HTC will quickly retaliate with a similar phone, otherwise their share price is bound to take a hit.
Cryptopia Hack was more serious than first assessments. What now?
I write articles on cryptocurrency and blockchain-related news, comprehensive guides about cryptocurrency projects and blockchain technology, and also price analysis articles. | 2019-04-20T21:03:51Z | https://www.coinstaker.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-bitcoin-wallet/ |
KALIBO, Aklan—Kalibo-based Bishop Jose Corazon Tala-o has called on parents, leaders of the church and officials of the country to address the plight of the youth and help them attain a bright future.
In his 24-minute homily at a Mass in celebration of the feast of Sto. Niño de Kalibo on Sunday, Tala-oc reminded parents and leaders of their responsibility over their children.
“Parents, fathers and mothers, where are your children? Do you know where (they are)?(Be) like Mary and Joseph. They sacrificed to look for their son,” Tala-oc said, citing the biblical story on how Jesus went missing when he was 12 and was eventually found by his parents in a temple in Jerusalem, speaking with religious leaders.
He urged parents to look at their troubled children and ask them why they went away or astray even if this meant hearing painful answers.
“To all of us who are now mature, especially to us leaders of our church and our country … where are our young ones? Where are they now? Have we looked for them?” he told thousands of devotees who attended the Mass celebrated on an elevated platform fronting the St. John the Baptist Cathedral.
The devotees, including government officials, spilled from the grounds of the cathedral to the streets around the Pastrana Park. | 2019-04-25T22:54:01Z | https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/756198/kalibo-bishop-reminds-country-s-leaders-parents-to-save-care-for-youth-756198 |

On June 9 Team DMI packed up all 30 units and made its way to California for the $10 Million Qualcomm Tricorder delivery deadline. The competition organized by the XPRIZE foundation was launched 3 years ago in an effort to encourage companies from around the globe to develop a comprehensive medical device. The inspiration for this competition came from what has repeatedly ignited the imaginative spark for technological paramount, the TV show Star Trek.
DMI is one of a handful of teams left in the final stage of the contest. After the team delivered all 30 units on mid-June. They had to hold back their exhilaration for a couple more days before the XPRIZE foundation announced that DMI has made it into the last stage of the competition.

Email delivery in Phrenopolis is handled by the postal monkeys, who race back and forth at amazing speed (amazing for monkeys, that is) in a naturally occuring but uncannily useful series of caverns beneath the city. Each monkey has three heads, an innovation which allows them to work twenty-four hours a day and still get plenty of sleep.
Anything else, use: and it will get where it needs to go. | 2019-04-25T00:02:26Z | http://phrenopolis.com/contact.php |
