Stable Diffusion is an AI that can transform text into images. It has gained popularity for its ability to generate top-notch, realistic images from written prompts. But with any new technology, it’s important to consider whether it’s legal and safe to use.
In this article, we’ll explore the legality of using Stable Diffusion as an individual user.
Understanding Stable Diffusion
Before diving into Stable Diffusion’s legality, let’s understand it. Stable Diffusion is an AI image generator tool that uses machine learning algorithms to produce high-quality images from text prompts.
It’s designed to be user-friendly and accessible, allowing anyone with a compatible computer to create beautiful, unique images.
It’s Not for Faking IDs
One key factor that makes Stable Diffusion legal is that it uses publicly available datasets to generate images. These datasets are freely available online and do not violate copyright or intellectual property laws.
The creators of Stable Diffusion have clarified it that the software is not to be used for illegal or harmful purposes, such as creating fake IDs, deep fakes, or other forms of misinformation.
It’s Not a Hacking Tool
Stable Diffusion is not a hacking tool or a form of malware. It’s a legitimate software program that’s been designed for the specific purpose of generating images from text prompts. As long as users use the software for its intended purpose, they should not worry about legal consequences.
Keeping the Legal Gray Areas in Mind
However, it’s important to note that laws regarding AI and machine learning are still relatively new and evolving. As with any new technology, there may be legal gray areas or changes to regulations that could affect the use of Stable Diffusion in the future.
Best Practices for Using Stable Diffusion
While this AI is legal, users should follow some best practices to use the software responsibly and ethically.
Use it Only With Legal and Ethical Objectives
First, users should only use Stable Diffusion for legal and ethical purposes. This means refraining from using the software to create fake IDs, deep fakes, or other forms of misinformation. Users should ensure they have the right to input the text prompts into the software.
Understating Potential Discrimination and Bias
Users should also know the potential for bias and discrimination in AI algorithms. Like any AI tool, Stable Diffusion is only as unbiased as the datasets it uses. It’s important for users to be aware of this potential bias and to take steps to mitigate it by using diverse and representative datasets.
Keeping Permissions in Mind
Finally, users should always ensure they have the necessary permissions to use the images generated by this AI. While the images are not inherently illegal, they may still be subject to copyright or intellectual property laws. Users should always obtain the necessary permissions before using or distributing the images.
Is Stable Diffusion Legal to Use?
The short answer is yes, Stable Diffusion is legal to use as an individual user. The software is not designed for illegal or harmful purposes, and the creators have taken measures to ensure it’s used responsibly and ethically.
Stable Diffusion is a powerful and exciting AI image generator tool that’s legal to use as an individual user. As long as users use the software for its intended purpose and follow best practices for ethical and responsible use, they should not worry about legal consequences.
However, it’s important to stay informed about regulation changes and always use AI tools responsibly and ethically.

If the movies have taught us anything, artificial intelligence created by the government = bad.
The Obama administration is aware of those concerns, which is why a new report questions how government-backed AI could impact society and public policy. It calls for long-term investments in AI research, as well as investigations into the ethics and security implications of the technology.
"Advances in AI technology hold incredible potential to help America stay on the cutting edge of innovation," the White House said in a blog post.
At Walter Reed Medical Center, for example, the Department of Veteran Affairs is using AI to better predict medical complications and improve treatment. Smarter traffic management applications, meanwhile, are reducing wait times, energy use, and emissions across the country. And some researchers are using AI-based software to improve animal migration tracking.
Still, these systems risk overstepping the boundaries of government-regulated operations, particularly as it relates to security and defense. The administration's solution: more and better data.
"Federal actors should focus in the near-term on developing increasingly rich sets of data, consistent with consumer privacy, that can better inform policy-making as these technologies mature," the report says.
Key agencies, however, can't use and improve upon AI if they don't understand it. So the administration is calling for federal employee training. It also wants to implement an exchange model—the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) Mobility Program—which would temporarily assign experts to governments, universities, research centers, and other organizations to fill in the gaps.
"For example, agency staff sent to colleges and universities as instructors can inspire students to consider federal employment," the paper says. "Likewise, programs that rotate employees through different jobs and sectors can help government employees gain knowledge and experience to inform regulation and policy, especially as it relates to emergent technologies like AI."
There is no pressing need to put these plans into action, though.

"It is very unlikely that machines will exhibit broadly applicable intelligence comparable to or exceeding that of humans in the next 20 years," the White House says, forecasting that "rapid progress in the field of specialized AI will continue, with machines reaching and exceeding human performance on an increasing number of tasks."
A companion document, meanwhile, details a proposal for federally funded AI R&D.
President Obama is scheduled to speak at this afternoon's Frontiers Conference, co-hosted by the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. Watch the live stream online starting at 1:45 p.m. ET.

TXT:: I’ve been watching the services for President Ronald Reagan this morning. It’s really quite strange to be a public observer to a typically private ritual. Nonetheless, it’s an impressive event to witness with the pageantry staged at the National Cathedral. I love hearing the natural reverberation of a large space and to hear such beautiful music and the grand pipe organ is incomparable. The C-Span engineers and producers did a nice job of capturing the sound.
In a period that seemed so heavily political, it’s refreshing to see the politics pause. Oh there are a few exceptions like California Senator Feinstein who made some comments in poor taste.
Farewell President Reagan.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box and get creative to find a fix. I had an issue with a couple of my drill bits and it took me awhile to realize it wasn't something I was doing. Long story short,the hole for the section was too big to accept it. This pen was a flop, until we filled the cavity with more Alumilite and redrilled all the internals. We got a tiny white accent ring and we saved a beautiful blank from the trash.
Many years ago I was working my first sunburst veneer round table. I made a mistake and sanded through the crossbanding. Distraught, I turned to a mentor. His response was "We all make mistakes, the difference between and amateur and pro is how well the correction is done". He also followed up with "you know the correct thing to do".

The Raven's Test was designed to minimize the biases that language difference can create to measure your intelligence. It urges the children to show their intelligence with attention to details, remembrance, and spatial interpretation. Raven’s progressive matrices are closer to the functioning scales on a WISC-III or other standardized intelligence tests.
The supporters of Raven’s test have a list of edges that this analysis can provide over the other psychological instruments. However, like any additional appraisal, it gives only a part of the picture. If your child is facing problems with directionality, visual memory, and line closure, Raven's test will not predict intelligence correctly. The best judgment relies on multiple types and sources of knowledge.
Raven’s Matrices or Raven’s Progressive Matrices are multiple choice questions of abstract understandings primarily devised by Dr. John C. Raven in 1938. Most of the items are presented in the shape of matrices of 3x3 or 2x2. The matrices structure has caused the instrument to be named as Raven’s matrices. You are asked to recognize the missing segment in each test item and complete a more extensive pattern presented there.
The Raven’s Progressive Matrices and Vocabulary tests assess your ability to think clearly and to make sense of complexities. They also test your ability to store and reproduce information, known as reproductive ability.
The Raven's test has three primary forms and one extended form of the matrices.
1- Raven’s Standard Matrices
Standard Raven’s Matrices are the original form of the matrices. They were used in 1938 for the first time. It is comprised of five sets, and each set has 12 items. You need to have a higher level of cognitive ability to solve the questions correctly. You are not only required to understand the information but also analyze critically. All items are presented in written form in black ink on a white background.
2- Raven’s Color Matrices
Color Raven’s Matrices are designed for children and the older adults with learning handicaps. The Raven’s test consists of sets A and B from the standard matrices, and a further set of 12 items is inserted between the two sets, as set Ab. Most of the questions are presented on a colored background to make the test more conspicuous for the participants. But the last few items in set B are kept black on white background
3- Raven’s Advanced Matrices
The Raven’s advanced matrices consist of two sets and 48 items. The first set contains 12 items while the other contains 36. The items are presented in black on white background. In this way, they become increasingly difficult when progress is made through each set. These questions are difficult for adults and adolescents who are of above average intelligence.
4- The Extended form of the Matrices
In 1998 parallel forms of the standard and colored progressive matrices were introduced. The extended types were included in the parallel tests which were constructed in a way that average solution to each question was identical for both the versions. Along with these, an extended form of the matrices was also published to test young men and adults.
The Raven’s test has become a well-known standard to measure intelligence by ignoring language barriers. It is claimed a culture fair intelligence test. It has following advantages:
1- It I very easy to use.
2- The costs to test the individuals are comparatively low.
3- It is gaining popularity due to the multi-national corporate culture of the world.
4- It assesses the type of reasoning ability that is based on understanding the increasing confusion of the present day life.
5- It claims to have the highest predictive validity.
6- It can predict your social mobility.
Some of the basic research in cognitive psychology has been made with the help of Raven’s tests. The tests are standardized with a vast variety of cultural groups from China, Russia, India, and Kuwait to Europe, etc. Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices has tested the people in countries around the world without having any cultural bias. The Raven’s test shows the same results when offered to white Europeans, black Africans, Asians, Chinese, and Indians.

What is a health coach?
A health coach is someone with expertise in wellness who assists people achieve good health by being a mentor and educator on lifestyle and nutritional changes. It is important to understand that health coaching is not only about nutrition, but instead, health coaches offer people a holistic approach to creating and sustaining healthy habits.
Many people today are turning to health coaches to help get rid of bad habits and adopt a more positive lifestyle. A large part of this new lifestyle is the adoption of a healthy diet. That is why the demand for healthcare coaches with the necessary certification and qualification is increasing, along with many opportunities for people interested in this profession to acquire the knowledge they need to ensure optimum service to clients.
While health coaching is frequently available through corporate wellness programs and referrals from healthcare providers, today, pharmacists have also started to partner up with health coaches to make their services more accessible for the general public.
People frequently interact with pharmacists, especially when they have chronic disorders like high blood pressure, arthritis, hyperlipidemia, diabetes etc. Pharmacists are fully aware of the importance of wellness and diet and often make referrals to a health coach for the patient’s benefit. This is because pharmacists can only educate the patient on the importance of medication compliance and the importance of the treatment, but healthcare coaches provide a different kind of assistance. They can help people develop fitness goals and identify the path to achieve those goals, and sustain them in the long run.
How can pharmacists partner with health coaches?
The prevalence of chronic disease continues to increase, but most people now realize that prescription medications are only one part of treatment for many of these diseases. Many health conditions also require a change in lifestyle and better nutrition to either stop the progression of the disease or to reverse it. Hence, partnering with a health coach can be of immense value to such patients. For example, if you have type 2 diabetes, a health coach can help you develop a diet that helps control your blood sugar level and even reverse the condition.
Health coaches can also make recommendations for lifestyle changes to help you lose weight, reduce your blood pressure and decrease your cholesterol levels. Many times, these changes in diet and activity levels can reduce or eliminate the need for medication. Therefore, a collaboration between pharmacists and health coaches can be quite beneficial for patients and can help improve patient outcomes.
In particular, an efficient partnership between pharmacists and health coaches can provide the following benefits:
1. Offer supplements and natural products: While pharmacists have in-depth knowledge of prescription medications, they may not be familiar with natural or homeopathic products that can enhance health. There is a large demographic that prefers to use alternative therapies. A health coach can advise on the best natural or homeopathic products to offer patients interested in natural/holistic solutions.
2. Referrals: By collaborating with a health coach, the pharmacist can develop a referral source for patients with type 2 diabetes, obesity, gout, arthritis, hyperlipidemia, nutrient deficiency (e.g. iron deficiency), and in return, the health coach can refer patients who need prescription medications or alternative supplements.
3. Collaborate on wellness programs: Pharmacists regularly see patients with various medical problems, including celiac disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. By referring these patients to a health coach, the pharmacist can be assured that they will get the right nutritional advice and coaching on living a healthy lifestyle. Treatments may vary from the use of alternative therapies and the importance of adequate sleep.
4. Establish a weight loss program: Exercise is an integral part of wellness programs. Not only does exercise help maintain fitness, but it can also help people lose weight. Health coaches can help develop a nutrition plan and an exercise regime, which can be accompanied by regular weigh-ins at the pharmacy.
5. Mental health services: While a health coach isn’t a qualified psychologist or mental health counselor, they are fully aware of the link between physical and mental health. They can offer advice to clients on managing stress, anxiety, and depression and recommend alternative approaches to stress management such as yoga, tai chi, deep breathing exercise, or spiritualism.
How a pharmacist-health-coach partnership can benefit patients
Pharmacists are busy professionals and have to cater to hundreds of patients daily. They often do not have time for one-on-one patient management. At the most, a pharmacist can educate the patient on how to use a medication, its potential adverse effects, the importance of medication compliance etc. But the management of chronic disorders requires multidisciplinary care. When patients are left on their own to manage the disease, they may not be motivated to change their lifestyles. A health coach can fill the gap. Therefore collaboration with a health coach can support the role of the pharmacist. A health coach can also motivate patients and help them make reasonable goals that are practical and achievable.

The new platform is expected to speed up cell line development.
On April 17, 2018, Berkeley Lights, a digital cell biology company, announced that Sanofi has purchased the company’s Beacon platform to accelerate the cell-line development (CLD) process.
Based on data from a pilot study, the Beacon platform was shown to quickly and efficiently identify target-secreting clones, which may save resources and speed the discovery and development process, Berkeley Lights reports. The Beacon platform employs four integrated workflows-import, culture, assay, and export-that can be applied for cell line development, antibody discovery and engineering, gene editing, and research.
The technology automates workflows, increasing efficiencies and reducing overall time while providing insights into the behavior of clonal populations, which is not possible using traditional techniques, the company reports. The Beacon platform is capable of screening thousands of cells and clones in under a week.
“Berkeley Lights is committed to supporting our customers and helping them increase the scale and precision of their cell line development processes to innovate faster,” said Eric Hobbs, PhD, CEO at Berkeley Lights, in a company press release. “Our mission is to deliver versatile platforms that combine biology, technology, and information, enabling scientists to automate manual lab workflows and focus on discovery.”

“I don't know how I'm still standing” a Bakhtinian analysis of social housing and health narratives in East London
Thompson C., Lewis DJ., Greenhalgh T., Smith NR., Fahy AE., Cummins S.
© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Housing is a significant determinant of health and substandard housing is a public health issue. East London has long had a shortage of social and affordable housing, worsened in recent years by a combination of stressors. In one of East London's most deprived boroughs, Newham, changes brought about by the 2011 Localism Act and the unique demands of being the host Olympic borough in 2012 have brought considerable pressures to bear on social infrastructure. This paper examines how these pressures were experienced by local residents via their narratives of social housing and health. The data reported here are from a qualitative study comprising two waves of data collection. Narrative family interviews and go-along interviews were conducted with 40 Newham residents at wave one and 28 at wave two. A narrative analysis with a Bakhtinian interpretation was undertaken. This revealed that residents framed experiences of social housing in terms of an inherent system-level ideology based on notions of need and waiting. A particularly striking feature of this ideology was the extent to which descriptions of ill health and impairment were implicated in constructions of housing need; participants directly attributed a range of health complaints to their housing predicaments, including stress, depression, cancer scares, panic attacks and loss of sleep. Understanding the contested ideology of social housing can illuminate both the dynamic processes of social exclusion and the ways in which its subjects seek to resist it.

Donovan McNabb doesn't think getting back to the playoffs should be hard. After all, it's something that came naturally to him for so long.
"I've missed, like, three years of not being in the playoffs. A lot of teams haven't been to the playoffs in six, seven years," McNabb said. "I look at it as just like riding a bike."
It's still feels like a strange question to ask McNabb, a long-time MVP candidate and, at 31, still a relative picture of youth compared to other long-tenured quarterbacks in history. Why couldn't he lead the Eagles to the postseason? Can Bill Cosby still make people laugh? Can Morgan Freeman still act? The answer should be obvious.
But McNabb knows he's caught in a rut. After finally breaking through the brick wall that was the NFC Championship Game during the 2004 season, McNabb hasn't played in a playoff game since Super Bowl XXXIX. He's been hurt, and it hasn't been consistent. Sports hernia. Knee. Ankle. Shoulder. Just name it. McNabb's bad luck since that title game has been almost incomprehensible.
QB Donovan McNabb |
Still, his teammates have been to the postseason without him. He said his "body feels 28." But, the questions, like clockwork, come back every July at training camp since that Super Bowl. He's used to them.
He knows he has to answer them, but nothing he says at a press conference will do anything to abate the criticism. He's got to show up on Sundays.
And unlike 2007, he's ready to go from the beginning.
"(Last season,) I felt like the knee was getting stronger, and the confidence was always in it," McNabb said. "But I felt like I was always preparing for the next week."
The weapons are there, McNabb said. In the last month before training camp, he worked with L.J. Smith, Jason Avant and newcomer Lorenzo Booker in Arizona.
And though he hasn't spoken to him, McNabb believes running back Brian Westbrook will check into Lehigh University when the rest of the veterans report to camp on Thursday.
It's essential to have the playmakers in place on Week 1, McNabb said.
"We just pretty much have to get back to the basics and not try to come out and try to shock people with different types of plays," he said. "I think if we just run our offense and get everybody involved early, I think that'll be important for us to get into that rhythm."
As training camp starts, it's no secret that the Eagles might be flying a bit under the radar. The Giants won the Super Bowl. The Cowboys won 13 games and the division last year. The Redskins just traded for Jason Taylor. Who, exactly, is talking about the Eagles?
But McNabb believes the Eagles should be in any discussion. In no way does he think his team is an afterthought.
"Not at all," he said. "(At practice,) it's not that hard to see the type of team that we have. You don't win NFC East championships, or you don't win the NFC period, on paper."

The term “classical massage” means a mechanical, mostly manual influence on the skin, the deeper tissue and the musculature. The classical massage is mainly used for prevention and treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, but can also be used as wellness treatment. It is offered as a partial as well as a full body treatment.
The classical massage helps with complaints of the musculoskeletal system, such as tension or muscle pain. But massage treatment is also very popular for migraines, headaches, psychological tension, restlessness and stress. Classic massage is also used to treat so-called psychosomatic disorders.
Pressure and tension stimuli
In a classical massage, pressure and tension stimuli are exerted on the muscles and their surrounding tissue. The effect takes place locally, by stretching and relaxing the muscles, and stimulating blood circulation and cell metabolism. Thus pain in the affected area is alleviated.
If the massage therapist stimulates faster, the tissue and musculature are stimulated and optimally prepared for impending stress. This principle is used, for example, in the field of sports and is usually referred to as “sports massage”.
Positive effects on the entire organism
The classical massage has a generally positive effect on the entire organism and promotes the well-being and relaxation of the patient. In detail, skin and cell metabolism, blood and lymph flow, as well as the blood circulation of the musculature and the formation of joint fluid are stimulated. The elasticity of ligaments and tendons is improved and muscular imbalance is harmonized. This leads to relief of pain, reduction of heart rate and blood pressure as well as deep breathing and thus to psychological relaxation.
Possible reactions after a massage treatment would be a feeling of muscle soreness or heaviness, fatigue, stiffness, slight pain or a slight pulling in the massaged area for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. In case of fever, open wounds, severe cardiovascular diseases or acute inflammations the classical massage is not or only partially recommended.

Oh darling, you wouldn't believe the drama that unfolded at the Royal Ballet's annual Tutu-Rama Extravaganza yesterday. It was positively divine, an absolute fiasco in the most delightful way. Now, let's get one thing straight: tutus are not merely clothing, they're an entire lifestyle choice. A declaration of feminine power and the sheer artistry of movement. So when the chaos began, you can imagine my distress, dear.
Picture this: the stage set was breathtaking - think a cloud of tulle so ethereal it almost reached the ceiling. Our star ballerina, darling Camilla (we're on a first-name basis, naturally) is just about to strike her iconic swan pose, a gasp-worthy moment. But then, disaster struck: a tiny, rogue feather, one that escaped from her tutu during rehearsals no doubt, fluttered into the spotlight, causing the lights to short-circuit!
You could have heard a pin drop! The audience, you know the type, were practically holding their breath. But Camilla, oh darling, she didn't flinch! With the aplomb of an actual swan, she paused, exquisitely swatted away the obnoxious feather, and proceeded as though nothing had happened! It was so impressive that I practically fainted, or perhaps it was just the delicious scent of musk from my perfume…
But that wasn't the only surprise. In the midst of the whole thing, there was a...*dramatic pause* a TIGHTS EMERGENCY. The poor, unfortunate prima ballerina in the supporting role (let's be honest, it was a very simple part, darling, almost invisible) actually snapped a seam in her tights during a very complex turn! There were gasps, shocked silence, and then… the loudest laughter I've ever heard!
It was pure comedy gold, a truly hilarious moment that took everyone by surprise! Camilla wasn’t fazed, obviously, and finished her performance flawlessly, even throwing a wink to the stricken prima as she took her curtsy. You see, in the world of ballet, even in the face of tights tragedy and rogue feathers, the show must go on.
This is, however, just a small excerpt from what I saw and experienced that day. If you want more, here are some snippets for your enjoyment:
- A pair of tutus on stage almost came to blows during a particularly dramatic ballet scene, almost sparking a fight like the rival gangs of a Shakespearean play!
- One of the younger dancers was seen taking a dramatic tumble on stage after stepping on his tutu during a high jump - what an utter horror!
- In the middle of the audience, two dear old ladies had a full-blown debate on the colour of Camilla’s tutu, and it was almost as exciting as the dance! (It was definitely lilac, darling, they just couldn't see!)
Overall, the night was simply divine! I can’t wait to go back next year and see what chaos unfolds - just make sure to hold on to your tutues! Or better yet, wear them proudly with your head held high! That’s all the fashion and fun I have for now, darling. Au revoir, and until next time, stay fabulous and don't forget to indulge in a little bit of ballet madness, just like me!

(Foreign Affairs) There has been much speculation of late about a possible Russian intervention in Ukraine. After Russia ordered large-scale military exercises on Ukraine’s border earlier this week, for example, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned that “any kind of military intervention that would violate the sovereign territorial integrity of Ukraine would be a huge, a grave mistake." And NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen tweeted today, “I urge Russia not to take any action that can escalate tension or create misunderstanding.” It seems that Western policymakers are most worried about two possible scenarios: First, that Russia would embargo gas to Ukraine, and second, that it would invade Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula. Is either of these two really likely?
Russia has used natural gas as a weapon against Ukraine twice before. In January 2006 and 2009, its state-controlled Gazprom corporation shut off pipeline deliveries to Ukraine in response to pricing disputes. Most Russian gas sales to Europe transit through Ukraine, so Russia’s move left some EU member states facing significant heating-fuel shortfalls in the dead of winter. These countries could have looked for a new provider, but they did not. They bought into Russia’s narrative that Kiev, not Moscow, was responsible for the pipeline shutoff. Today, EU members still purchase about a third of their natural gas from Russia, with contracts that run through 2020. Some nations have even increased their buys from Russia, since Gazprom offers the cheapest gas around. […]

Sam Baldwin, a Chicago architect, has lost his wife to cancer. He and his young son Jonah move to Seattle, Washington to make a fresh start, but Sam is still disconsolate. On Christmas evening, Jonah calls into a national radio advice show and persuades his father to go on the air with him to talk about how much he misses his wife. Thousands of women around the country, touched by Sam's story, send him letters. One letter is from Annie Reed, a journalist from Baltimore, Maryland, engaged to a nice but sneeze-prone man named Walter who feels that there is something missing. Jonah, who has been working his way through the flood of mail, finds Annie's missive and likes that it mentions the Baltimore Orioles. He tries to convince his father to go to New York City to meet her on Valentine's Day, but Sam loses his temper and refuses. Jonah flies to New York and takes a taxi to the Empire State Building, saying he's going to meet his new mother. Sam, in pursuit, catches up with Jonah, who hasn't found Annie because she's busy breaking up with her fiancé. Jonah and Sam get on the down elevator just before a late Annie rushes in, but with the help of a lost backpack and teddy bear, they finally meet and all ends well.

The Most Common Types of Fertility Treatment
When roadblocks to fertility appear, it can be challenging to know where to begin. However, recent advancements in Assisted Reproductive Technology, or ART, have made great strides in making it possible for hopeful parents to create the family they’ve always dreamed of. From sperm donation to in vitro fertilization (IVF), there are many paths you can take to conceive. This process is all about finding what works best for you and your family – time, cost, medical history, and commitment all factor into this decision. Knowing what is out there will help narrow your options down. But what exactly is out there?
IUI, also known as intrauterine insemination, is a common first option in an individual’s journey. IUI is popular amongst women with endometriosis, irregular cycles, or other fertility challenges. Sperm is deposited into the uterus via a catheter, getting the sperm closer to the egg and allowing for easier fertilization. Conceiving via IUI is a more cost-effective, faster procedure than other fertility treatments, and is minimally invasive.
In Vitro Fertilization
IVF is often reserved when other methods such as fertility drugs and intrauterine insemination haven’t worked. During in vitro fertilization, multiple eggs are retrieved from the intended mother and fertilized in a lab. The IVF process includes access to genetic testing of embryos--a small biopsy of an embryo is taken after it has grown to over 100 cells and will be tested for possible genetic disorders. This will allow the healthy embryo to be transferred to the intended mother or egg donor’s uterus.
According to the CDC, IVF is the most effective method of assisted reproduction and is growing more common. Despite its popularity, IVF can be a demanding medical process. Depending on your medical history and your expectations about starting a family, IVF may be the best path for you.
A more affordable option for intended parents is Minimal Stimulation IVF, or “Mini IVF”. This is often less stressful than traditional IVF because it requires less involvement from the patient. Natural IVF takes less time and carries a lowered risk of multiples. This is a wonderful option for those looking for a lower-cost approach with fewer medical commitments.
Candidates for egg donation or sperm donation may not be able to conceive with their own egg or sperm due to age or reproductive conditions. People over 40, those with low ovarian reserve, as well as women who suffer from conditions like endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome all benefit from this process.
IVF and third-party reproduction have been around since the 1970s, and a 2019 review of 25 studies found no significant evidence of an increased risk of invasive ovarian cancer associated with the use of fertility drugs. There is still work to be done as far as more supportive research, but at this time there is little to no evidence to support a heightened risk of infertility or disease linked to fertility treatment.
If you have not found success conceiving, or just looking for what options are out there, contact The Prelude Network today!

When arguments become heated, you may find yourself gesturing more forcefully. Even if you do not intend to, it can be easy to knock items over accidentally or act with more force than you intended. If you damage your partner’s phone in the process, however, that broken device could lead to serious criminal charges. How might a broken phone lead to accusations of domestic violence?
Does the California Penal Code include damaged property in its definition of domestic violence?
Under California law, a variety of behaviors that could cause someone to fear “immediate serious bodily injury” may fall under the category of “domestic violence.” These can include the destruction of another person’s personal property, including their phone.
Damaging a phone could create added complications.
Damaging any property during an argument could lead to a domestic violence charge, but those charges could become even more complicated when the damage was to the alleged victim’s phone. California Penal Code Section 591.5 makes it illegal to prevent someone from calling the authorities by damaging or obstructing their access to a communication device. As a result, even accidentally knocking your partner’s phone out of their hand during an argument could put you in legal trouble if the authorities misinterpret that action.
Is it possible to defend against these charges?
Thankfully, if someone accuses you of domestic violence, you do not have to face those charges alone. An experienced attorney can help you build a defense against these accusations. For example, if you did not intend to damage your partner’s property, your attorney can highlight evidence that their phone was broken as a result of an accident.
Not only can this experienced guidance help you defend yourself in court, but it could even result in the prosecution dropping a domestic violence charge before it even goes to trial.

Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church Congo Mission Team
Members of the Congo Mission Network (CMN), through relationships with Congolese partners, have witnessed the harm caused by corruption in the mining industry and were among those outraged by the reversal of U.S. sanctions on Dan Gertler, an international businessman with ties to former senior Congolese officials. Gertler has amassed hundreds of millions of dollars through opaque and corrupt mining and oil deals in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Five representatives of the Congo Mission Team at Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church (LOPC) recently traveled to Sacramento for a meeting with the staff of Kamala Harris, California’s new junior senator and former attorney general. They were joined by two members of Congo Prosperity Catalyst, a Bay Area organization for Congolese nationals in diaspora.

Sprint Planning is a crucial activity in the field of product management that helps teams effectively plan and prioritize their work for a specific period, known as a sprint. In this process, the product manager, along with the development team, defines the goals, selects the user stories to be completed, and estimates the effort required to complete them within the sprint.
Sprint Planning plays a vital role in ensuring the success of a project and maximizing the team's productivity. It offers several benefits:
Setting clear goals: Sprint Planning allows the team to define and align on the objectives for the upcoming sprint. This clarity helps everyone understand what needs to be accomplished and keeps the team focused.
Prioritizing work: During Sprint Planning, the team selects the most important user stories to work on during the sprint. By prioritizing tasks, the team ensures that the most valuable features are delivered to customers first.
Estimating effort: Sprint Planning involves estimating the effort required to complete user stories. This estimation helps the team allocate resources effectively and plan the sprint capacity.
Creating a shared understanding: Sprint Planning encourages collaboration and discussion among team members. It ensures that everyone has a shared understanding of the work to be done, reducing ambiguity and improving overall efficiency.
To make the most of Sprint Planning, follow these steps:
Review backlog: Start by reviewing the product backlog, which contains a list of user stories or tasks. Evaluate new additions, remove outdated items, and ensure the backlog is up to date.
Select user stories: Based on the sprint goal, the team selects a set of user stories from the product backlog. Prioritize them based on their importance and potential impact on the product.
Break down user stories: Break down selected user stories into smaller, manageable tasks. Assign story points or effort estimates to each task to determine the overall effort required.
Capacity planning: Assess the team's capacity and availability for the sprint. Consider individual workloads, vacations, or any other factors that might impact productivity.
Create a sprint backlog: Compile the selected user stories and their associated tasks into a sprint backlog. The sprint backlog serves as a comprehensive plan for the sprint.
Estimate task duration: Estimate the duration or time required to complete each task. This helps in identifying potential bottlenecks or dependencies and ensures realistic planning.
Assign tasks and responsibilities: Distribute tasks among team members based on their skills and availability. Clearly communicate responsibilities and ensure everyone understands their assigned tasks.
Define acceptance criteria: Collaboratively define acceptance criteria for each user story and task. These criteria act as benchmarks to determine when a task or user story is completed successfully.
Review and finalize: Review the sprint plan with the entire team, seeking feedback and clarifying any doubts or concerns. Make any necessary adjustments or refinements before finalizing the plan.
Consider these tips to enhance your Sprint Planning sessions:
Involve the entire team: Ensure that all team members actively participate in Sprint Planning. This promotes a shared understanding and commitment to the sprint goals.
Consider dependencies: Identify and address any dependencies between user stories or tasks early on. Understanding these dependencies helps in sequencing work effectively and avoiding delays.
Keep it focused: Sprint Planning meetings should be time-bound and focused. Encourage discussions but ensure they remain relevant to the sprint goals and planning process.
Regularly groom the backlog: Maintain a well-groomed product backlog by regularly reviewing and updating it. This ensures that the team has a reliable source of work items for Sprint Planning.
Revisit and learn: After each sprint, reflect on the effectiveness of your Sprint Planning process. Learn from the experiences and identify areas for improvement in subsequent iterations.
Did you know 80% of software features are rarely or never used? That's a lot of wasted effort.
SaaS software companies spend billions on unused features. Last year, it was $29.5 billion.
We saw this problem and decided to do something about it. Product teams needed a better way to decide what to build.
That's why we created ProductLift - to put all feedback in one place, helping teams easily see what features matter most.
In the last four years, we've helped over 3,051 product teams (like yours) double feature adoption and halve the costs. I'd love for you to give it a try.

“Have you heard? Lightworks 22.3 Has Arrived!”. The note from LWKS introducing the new version needs to be heard, because the NLE is focused on making sure the audio of your edit sounds great.
Everything you need to bring your video to life is included in Lightworks, a nonlinear editor that has been around for a while. For 30 years, Lightworks has helped every type of video editor and creator imaginable, from Oscar-winning Hollywood legends to YouTubers. Evolving as new technologies allowed for video editors to become powerhouses, Lightworks has adapted to the needs of new types of users, adjusting the interface to serve both the needs of seasoned professionals and newcomers to the art of telling stories with moving images.
As video editors offer more features so users don’t need to jump between apps to edit distinct aspects of each narrative, NLEs have started to offer everything from placing images on the timeline to color grading them, and all other aspects that contribute to make a better movie, be it a Hollywood style production or a video for your social network.
Because when creating video content, visuals are only half the story. Excellent audio is the key to awesome content, but the audio aspect of the edit is often neglected. In fact, many times audio is equally as important as the visual aspect — if not more so! In the same way that sound plays a vital role in day-to-day communication, it’s also essential to passing on the message you want your video to convey. When your audio all comes together, it’s a thing of beauty that elevates your content.
Ultimate audio control
Even if you’re not aiming for perfection, it’s vital to get the fundamentals right. Your audience might just forgive blurry and out-of-focus visuals, but what they won’t forgive is poorly done sound. Imagine listening to an interview with horrible sound or loud background noise. If you can’t hear what the discussion is about, you won’t engage. That’s why Lightworks 22.3 is focused on making sure the audio of your edit sounds great!
Here are some of the reasons why Lightworks 22.3 will help you get a better sound:
Lightworks 22.3 includes access to free Epidemic Sound tracks. Epidemic Sound brings your favorite sounds from leading music creators from around the world. In Lightworks 22.3, you can get up to 200 of their greatest tracks for FREE directly inside the app. Give it a shot and soundtrack your content with high-quality music.
New to Lightworks in 22.3 are audio Quick FX templates. Quick FX templates for dialogue and music means crystal clear audio is just a simple drag and drop away! These lightning fast audio adjusters combine multiple different effects together to make your audio the best it can be. LWKS says that “whether you’re looking to improve your dialogue or music, we’ve got you covered.” One important note to remember: Quick FX tools require a Lightworks Create or Pro subscription.
While the new Quick FX templates are amazing time savers, you may be an audio pro who wants a little more control. Don’t worry — each effect can be accessed individually and adjusted to meet your audio needs.
Finally, there is ultimate audio control directly in Lightworks. Improved plugin support, new audio controls, and plenty more make this an audio must have!
The Ultimate Guide to Audio For Video
Lightworks 22.3 is packed full of great ways to edit your audio content, with a clear invitation to users: start your edit and bring your video to life today. But before we can edit it, that audio needs to be captured. That’s why LWKS releases a free 24-page eBook, The Ultimate Guide to Audio For Video. This eBook outlines the best ways to ensure your audio is well captured, edited, and ultimately engaging to your audience — without breaking the bank!
The eBook helps users understand that you don’t need a massive studio with top-quality gear to get the best audio possible. You just have to know what works and why, and you’ll soon have great audio that elevates your content. Download the eBook alongside Lightworks 22.3 and get the inside track on how you can capture perfect audio for your project. Start with the FREE edition if you’re a newcomer, and you might just end in love with the Lightworks NLE, as many Hollywood professionals have done before.

“The chance to speak with Charlie really provided me with an appreciation of how insightful he was to notice that central Pennsylvania residents needed a solid source of weather information during the 1950s,” said Nese, who is a host, feature writer and producer of Weather World. “Charlie knew that the University was the logical place for that to come from.”
In his conversation with Nese, Hosler explained how weather forecasting in 1957 was quite different from what many people are used to today.
According to Hosler, who was a forecaster for the U.S. during World War II and had been presenting radio forecasts for a decade, weather forecasting became increasingly important during and after the war for aviation.
“At the time, the weather forecast was usually just a small blurb in the corner of the newspaper,” said Hosler, who was one of only four meteorology professors at the time at Penn State. “But that began to change following the war.”
Hosler said that weather forecasting at the University gained greater visibility after he developed a close relationship with Penn State President Milton S. Eisenhower. Eisenhower often asked Hosler to provide weather forecasts for his trips traveling back and forth to Washington D.C., where his brother, Dwight, served as U.S. president.
The first weather broadcast came from Sparks Building at the University Park campus and was sponsored by the College of Agriculture, now the College of Agricultural Sciences. The studio consisted of only a single camera, a stopwatch, a chalkboard and a desk. Hosler and his students sent the black and white video broadcast to then-news station WFBG in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
“It was a very important public service that we were performing,” said Hosler.
From there, Hosler’s first forecast blossomed into a larger weather program as part of a cooperative effort between Penn State’s new educational television station and the Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science. It has expanded from a six-minute piece, shown during a public affairs program, to a dedicated 15-minute all-weather program, adding in longer-range forecasts and nightly features that demonstrate how the weather works and its role in everyday life.

Healthcare workers know they’re in high demand. In a market that favors job seekers over employers, it can be difficult to attract the best applicants to your facility. If you want to become the employer of choice in your community, you need to make your facility stand out from the crowd. How can you make sure more candidates make your facility their top choice?
Attracting better applicants to your healthcare facility
1. Offer them a chance to grow
No one will choose your facility if they don’t believe it will benefit their career. If you can’t promise a chance for career growth, candidates will flock to a facility that does. Even though offering better compensation will get you some applicants, this strategy is limited. After all, your budget can only handle so much.
This is why it is so important to choose a course that offers long-term benefits to both the candidate and your facility. Training your employees and offering them opportunities for career growth will make them more effective as a team and allow you to promote from within in the future. Once word gets out that your facility is offers long-term benefits, you’ll have more candidates knocking at your door.
2. Reach out to local schools
Before you can draw candidates to your facility, you need to get them into a health care field. Is there a local nursing school or college that offers allied health classes? Teaming up with their faculty to promote medical education will bring more candidates into play. In fact, even reaching out to high schools can be beneficial. It may take a few years for your investment to pay off, but you will build important connections with your future candidates.
3. Connect with new applicants on social media
Through social media, connecting with potential job seekers is easier than ever. Though some sites are purpose-built for professionals, you shouldn’t neglect more socially oriented sites. By connecting with job seekers on social media, you help build your facility’s reputation as a high-quality, caring employer. You’ll also get a chance to conduct some free market research by asking your community what they are looking for in their next job and what it will take to get them to sign on.
4. Engage your current employees in the search
Medical professionals tend to flock together. As such, your employees probably have many professional connections outside of work. If you’re looking to fill a specific position, there is a good chance that they know someone who is interested in the job. Since most people are eager to work with a friend, it shouldn’t be hard to convince them to participate in the search. As an added bonus, you already have a trusted employee who can serve as a reference and vouch for their character.
5. Conduct exit interviews
If you want to attract better applicants to your healthcare facility, you need to iron out any flaws or defects that could turn away prospective candidates. Who is your best source for honest input on what needs to be improved? Your (soon-to-be) former employees. Though exit interviews can be a controversial subject, they can be an irreplaceable source of input when handled correctly. By paying attention to your employee’s viewpoint, you’ll be able to identify your weak spots and fix them.
6. Widen your search
No matter how excellent your facility may be, you’ll never find the best candidates if you don’t get the word out. If you want to connect with as many talented applicants as possible, you need to use every resource that is available. At Quality Medical Staffing, we specialize in finding long-term staffing solutions for facilities like yours. If you’re looking for part-time, contract, or temp-to-hire healthcare staff, our comprehensive services are guaranteed to meet your demands. To learn more about your options, contact us today.

The history of sound reproduction shows ample evidence of the electrostatic loudspeaker as an alternative to the electromagnetic speaker. The "actual" electrostatic loudspeaker, in simple form, made its appearance in 1929. This may seem a little late in the piece, but we have to recall that, before 1924 - 25, sound reproduction beyond the necessities of telephony was next to impossible. Two General Electric engineers, Rice and Kellogg (no kidding!) set about the task of creating the first hornless loudspeaker, in the early 1920's. They soon realised that no available amplifier of the time was suitable, and they...but that is another story. We can trace the very beginnings of high fidelity sound reproduction to 1925 and a hornless loudspeaker designed by these two men.
The Rice and Kellogg speaker was quite successful. After all, it was one of a kind for awhile, and had zero competition. They discovered that the speaker had to have a large cone and be quite rigidly mounted for good low-frequency reproduction. Following this trail to its ultimate conclusion, they soon discovered that the speaker became more directional and produced far less output with increasing frequency. Having recognised these problems, the early workers used two different approaches to try to coerce these contradictory and inconvenient phenomena into a workable mechanism. One solution was to divide the cone, mechanically, into smaller sections. At low frequencies the cone moved like a "rigid piston", and at higher frequencies only a smaller, central section radiated. A second solution involved division of the audio band into several spectra, and using a separate speaker for each. The second method, in theory, allows the designer to split the audio frequency spectrum into as many parts as they choose to.
Apart from work on actual drivers, investigations into various baffle systems were carried on, resulting in bass reflex, acoustical labyrinth and folded horn enclosures. Of course, each system claimed to have "the most natural reproduction".
During the 1950's one could attend the various "hi-fi" shows in the U.S. and England, and have a technical discussion with the chief engineer and head of the firm - the same person, very likely! Starting in the early 1960's, the "hi-fi" show was "discovered" and infiltrated by the Recording Companies and their Advertisers. The engineers stayed at the lab and the Sales People went to the shows, and some shows even had the gall to charge an entry fee!
There was at least one interesting emergence from this era, in that Thiele and Small started modelling loudspeakers as though they were electrical filters. This was quite significant, since you can easily model electrical filters using mathematical equations. It took most speaker manufacturers until the 1970's and 80's to indicates or specify Thiele/Small parameters. Today, it is reasonably commonplace, allowing the enthusiast to design and/or build a speaker system to suit their needs.

Perfect 10, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc.
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
487 F.3d 701 (2007)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
In response to image searches, Google, Inc.’s (Google) (defendant) search engine communicated thumbnail versions of images to the user. Google stored the thumbnails on its servers. Google did not store the full versions of the images on its servers. If users clicked on a thumbnail, Google sent HTML instructions to the user’s computer on where to find the full image on a third party website. The image then appeared from the third party website in a window, framed by additional information from Google. This process was known as “in-line linking.” Google obtained revenue from certain of these third party websites through advertising agreements. Perfect 10 (plaintiff) operated a subscription website for pictures of nude models. Google’s search engine returned thumbnails of copyrighted Perfect 10 images. Perfect 10 brought a copyright infringement suit against Google and Amazon.com, Inc. (defendants). The district court granted Perfect 10 a preliminary injunction. The district court found that Perfect 10 was likely to succeed in its claim that the defendants violated Perfect 10’s display right by posting the thumbnails, but that Perfect 10 was not likely to succeed in its claim that the defendants violated Perfect 10’s distribution right by linking to full size images via the thumbnails. The district court found that the defendants’ display of the thumbnails was not fair use. The defendants appealed.

Stock management is the backbone of any retail operation. Keeping tabs on inventory is the only way to avoid loss, theft, and other mishaps. Stock management software can help you keep your inventory organized efficiently. There are many different stock management programs available, though some may be better suited to your needs than others.
Desktop or Web Based?
One of the first things that you’ll have to consider is whether to purchase a desktop program or a web based program. The main difference is that a desktop program does not rely on an Internet connection. On the other hand, a web based program cannot function without a reliable web connection.
Many desktop programs claim to be easier to use than web-based programs. However, this is not necessarily the case. If you have a fast and reliable Internet connection, you can use a web based program simply and easily. Of course, you run the risk of a website not working when you need it if you choose a web-based program. If you are using dial-up, a desktop program is probably your best bet.
Features to Look For
Stock management software should include a number of different inventory options. You should be able to track inventory, create lists, and add different pricing with ease. Other important features include calendar options, customer tracking, report generation, and expense recording.
It is also vital that you find a program with a number of useful tools. Tools that make keeping track of your stock easier will, in turn, make your life easier. Calculators, measurement conversion tools, exchange rate functions, and payment tabulators all make keeping track of stock easier. Typically, stock management software that is more expensive includes all of these valuable tools.
There are few things more frustrating than purchasing a product you can’t use. Many software products do not come with help manuals or instructions. These products are fine if you know what you are doing (and you have a good amount of patience). Otherwise, it pays to read user reviews of every product you are considering. A good inventory management program should come with help bubbles, a set-up wizard, and an online or offline help center.
Price is always a factor, though top software isn’t always expensive. Still, before you begin shopping for stock management software, think about how much you want to spend. Since keeping track of your inventory is important, you should allot a decent amount of your budget for stock management software.
You will find that most inventory management software comes with a free trial offer. Use these free offers to test any program that you are considering. For the most part, you should be able to purchase a good inventory program for less than $100. Rather than pay attention to the price of any software, it is a better idea to pay attention to features and user-ease. An expensive program that you cannot operate is worth very little, while a free program that keeps track of everything is always a wise idea.

Our herbicides and insecticides are powerful products designed to help homeowners and farmers keep their properties weed and pest-free. We offer a lot of advice on how to spray our products and how to do it safely. But once the job is over, there is a little more knowledge to know – how to store our products.
According to Invasive.org, the proper storage of herbicides comes down to picking a suitable storage site and labeling everything used for herbicide mixing, storage and application.
Choosing A Proper Storage Site
Kitchens, garage floors and non-insulated outbuildings are not the best places to store your herbicides and insecticides. You never want to store these products somewhere they could fall into little hands or contaminate food or utensils. You also don’t want to store herbicides and insecticides within reach of the family pet or your livestock. Herbicides and insecticides are strong chemicals that could poison a beloved animal that unwittingly walked through a spill or accidentally ingested some. Extreme heat and cold and excess moisture can also degrade the product, reducing its effectiveness. Skip any areas that are prone to flooding, like basements. The proper site should be dry, out of reach of children and pets, doesn’t freeze or get extremely hot and, if outside on your property, somewhere you can lock to prevent theft and vandalism. The UMass Extension suggests using a storage cabinet that can be kept locked and the door labeled.
Labeling Your Herbicides and Insecticides
You should never leave herbicides or mixtures in unmarked containers; you don’t want to kill off your favorite landscape shrub by accidentally spraying it RM18 thinking it was Compare-N-Save Indoor/Outdoor Insecticide. You may think you’ll remember from season to season what percentage of BRUSHTOX is in that jug, but trust us, you won’t. Label everything that you use to mix, store, and apply herbicides and insecticides. Put the name, percentage of concentration and any surfactants used on the label. Don’t reuse your bottles for any other type of herbicide or other landscaping products. Ragan & Massey alone makes several herbicides with not only different ingredients but differing amounts of the same active ingredient, like our RM18 and RM43. Both have glyphosate as the active ingredient but RM18 only contains 18% of it compared the 43% in RM43. When you need to dispose of a used container, clean it with warm soapy water and rinse with fresh water. Check with your local recycling center or extension office to see if a pesticide recycling program exists in your area.
Safely storing your Ragan & Massey herbicides and pesticides will allow you to get the most out of your money by ensuring your products are the most effective they can be.

With A Manuscript Annotation Describing the Sinking of the Anoinette Cezard off Port Phillip in May 1854.
Detailed French Sea Chart of the Pacific, published in Paris in 1851, which was used by two ships in Australia, the first having wrecked near Port Phillip in May 1854.
The map tracks the voyage of the Antoinette Cezard, which was then arriving from London to Melbourne. The first notes (in the hand of "B.T.") shows the position of the Antoinette Cezard southwest of the tip of Australia on April 23, 1854, in bound from the Indian Ocean to Port Phillip. At this point, the ship apparently struck Corsair Rock on May 2 or May 3, 1854 and sunk. The details are set forth below.
The chart was apparently salvaged in Port Phillip and acquired by a different French sailor, who included a note describing the sinking of the Antoinette Cezard on May 3, 1854 and then shows the tracks of the Aristide Marie over the next several months, giving the tracks of the voyage from Melbourne, passing through the Bass Strait in about June 1854 and proceeding to Sydney and then north towards the area of Darwin, with the tracks ending north of tje Gouldburns Islands in the Arafura Sea.
The Australian shipping records put the Aristide Marie in Victoria in May, 1854 (including Port Phillip on about May 25, 1854) and later arriving in the port of Sydney, arriving from Melbourne, on July 3, 1854.
Prior to that, a note puts the Aristide Marie in San Francisco in July and August 1851 (" French barque Aristide Marie to sail in a week" and " French barque Aristide Maria, Lescure, 240 days from Bordeaux, via Valparaiso 75 days. Merchandise to Loubert. Four passengers. One female.: ).
Antoinette Cezard Wreck
Below Australia, a lengthy annotations describes the wreck of the Antoinette Cezard in May 1854, which translates as follows:
On May 3rd 1854, while entering in Port-Philippe Bay, l'Antoinette Cezard struck [Corsair] rock on which she stayed for almost three minutes while receiving terrible shakings, she finally passed through and went stranded at Point Nepan while two hours later her hold was full of water."
The Antoinette Cezard was a French ship, built France, 1852; registered in Bordeaux and in Melbourne in 1854. Sailing under the command of a Captain Marin from London to Melbourne with general cargo and nine passengers, the ship struck Corsair Rock, Point Nepean, and under advice from pilot Draper, was run aground on Swan Island on May 2, 1854. She had attempted to enter Port Phillip without a pilot.
Over the course of the next several weeks, the contents were offloaded to Port Phillip. The last of the cargo of the Antoinette Cezard reached Port Phillip in a brig towed by Capt. Ashby of the Washington, steam tug. The ship was later refloated, repaired and returned to service as the ship Thomas & Ann Cole.
The Robiquet chart is rare. The annotations provide an interesting contemporary snapshot of the wreck and passing of the chart among French sailors.

Do you remember what you were doing on April, 11th 1987? I can’t even remember what state I was living in. But for Ron Quarnstrom April 11th, 1987 was a very significant day. He didn’t know it at the time, but it was the first day of what would become a very successful dyno and tuning business.
Ron Quarnstrom of Spring Lake Park, MN is half-owner of R&R Performance and recently tested his 10,000th internal-combustion engine on the R&R Performance in-house SuperFlow dynamometer in April of 2019. SuperFlow was there to record this event for posterity.
Ron told me that R&R Performance customers span the typical American automotive enthusiast, from street high performance to racing. Some 50 percent are High Performance Street enthusiasts. The other 50-percent are local track racers. Their racing contingent consists of drag racing, circle track, and pulling event participants. R&R Performance is also a complete automotive machine shop with the capability to handle block boring and honing, cylinder head valve jobs, and engine component balancing.
This current dyno is Ron’s third Superflow Dynomometer. Ron was quick to point out that the previous two 901’s are still running. He only sold the first SF-901 and the second upgraded SF-901 to purchase the SF-902 model.
Ron’s current dyno is a Superflow SF-902. He said that it’s special features include an SF-871 Angle Vane Absorber with Dual Capacity Valve. Other features are an Intake Mass Air flow sensor which records the amount and temperature of the air a running engine is consuming. Internal Combustion engines consume air, which is the working fluid of an IC engine. Engines breathe on a volume basis.
So this information, how much air the engine is using and the temperature of that air at various RPMs, is invaluable for future engine developments and improvements. Additional features includes an oil flow meter, a knock sensor, and electronic blow-by meter — which lets you know the amount of combustion pressure leaking past the piston rings. There is also an automated break-in feature on the 902, which will cycle the engine’s RPM and load for a pre-determined amount of time, to ensure a consistently flawless engine break-in.
Superflow has been in the business of making dynamometers since 1972, while Power Test Dynamometers has been building dynos and other test equipment for the heavy industry field, trucking oil and gas since 1976. Power Test acquired the two major players in the automotive dynamometer business purchasing Stuska in 2002 and Superflow in 2017.
Ron is very proud of his dynomometers and what he has accomplished with them. And rightfully so, if we do say so ourselves.
The celebration was to commemorate Quarnstrom’s 10,000th engine dynoed. By the time this article was written he had added another 50 to that number!

We have had another fantastic week in Seals class. It has involved area, cities and an abundance of activities surrounding 'Time'!
This week, we have started our new unit of work: non-chronological reports. So far, this has involved comprehending our model text, identifying features of a non-chronological report and writing an informative paragraph about a city, aiming to include many of our toolkit features in our paragraphs.
Our Maths work this week has been centred around area and perimeter. This has included finding the area of a triangle, finding the area of a parallelogram, and calculating volume by counting cubes.
In our geography lesson this week, we studied the history of Canada. In groups, we looked at a particular period of time and placed events from this time period on a timeline in chronological order. We then categorised events from this time period into political events, cultural events and others. We have now merged our timelines together to create one, humongous timeline about Canada!
Science Week -
We have had so much fun celebrating Science Week in school this week! It has involved learning about many famous scientists and completing a huge range of activities surrounding this year's British Science Week theme: Time. In our classroom, we have spent time learning about biomagnification in food chains (through a game of rock, paper, scissors!) and enjoyed conducting an investigation into jelly setting! On Wednesday, the whole school participated in a carousel of science activities. In KS2 this included making timers, protecting an egg, hiding a moth, understanding metamorphosis and learning about the brain!
Children have been given a sheet of Maths and English homework to take home this week, which relates to the learning we have been doing in school. We also ask that they practise their spellings, times tables and read at home as much as possible alongside this.
Year 6, Superhero Spelling - List 5
Spellings given out: Monday 11th March
Spelling test: Monday 18th March
Have a wonderful weekend,

This Mel Gibson Fighter – Braveheart vs MadMax T-Shirt design pays homage to all of the best Mel Gibson movies. Can you name them all?
Designed alongside my buddy Bolt from the Blue, the Fighter Series collection features your favourite actors and movies. If there is something you would really like in that collection head on over to Instagram and let us know.
When choosing which shirt type to sell, I knew I only wanted the best quality for you guys. I spent months trying dozens of shirts out before finally finding the perfect tee. Imagine me dressed up as Goldilocks, surrounded by shirts and suddenly screaming “This one is juuusssst right!”.
The perfect T-shirt is a personal preference and the pressure of choosing a tee that I think you’ll all love was like picking my first starter Pokémon. I went back and forth, racking my brain, considering every possibility. But that mental workout was worth it. I’ve finally found one shirt to rule them all!
I’ve opted for a 100% premium ringspun cotton tee with a tailored fit. The sort of tee to suit any situation, whether that be a 24-hour gaming marathon or a super serious job interview (well, maybe not every situation). Soft yet durable; these tees print great, fit great and most importantly look great! I want my designs to be as vibrant as the day you first wore them!
• 4.3 oz. 100% combed ringspun cotton (32 singles)
• Heather Grey is 90% cotton and 10% polyester
• Fabric laundered
• Set-in 1×1 baby rib collar
• Hemmed sleeves
• Side seamed
• Tear away label
Please double check your shirt size before placing your order and if in doubt size up.
As much as I want every one of my customers to be 100% happy with their purchase, the print factory still charges me if you order the wrong size. Due to this there are limitations on my Returns policy.
Unlike big foot, who I am pretty sure I saw in a night club in Berlin once, there is no such thing as free shipping. Why the hell am I telling you this?
Well, if you’re here to buy my merch, you’re one of the family… and you don’t lie to family! The reason I chose free shipping for my website, is because the awesome guys that print my tees offer a flat shipping rate (for US Postal Service First Class). I included it in the shirt price so you don’t have any nasty surprises at the checkout.
Each T-shirt is made to order in our factory in Portland, Oregon. Printing is generally complete within 3 – 12 days (depending on how busy the print queue is). Please allow extra time for delivery.
Times can fluctuate due to high demand. If your order has not arrived within 14 business days, please contact me directly and I’ll embark on an epic mission to track down your goods.
I love seeing my art all around the world!
Due to the amazing quality of my American factory, I am reluctant to use localised printers; even though they would of course get to you quicker.
Like a refreshing pint of Guinness, I think good things are worth the wait. I have added ePacket shipping options for my international customers not in the US of A.
Why ePacket? I know it was originally set up for Chinese merchants to send stuff to the US, but their shipping, unlike USPS, comes with tracking so you can see where they are in the world and the cost of shipping isn’t going to massively break the bank for you guys.
I have also added a budget shipping option with no tracking, but I have found that this can be slower in some countries, so please be aware of that when selecting your shipping option.
Please Note: All deliveries outside of the US may be subject to customs delays and charges. This is completely outside of my control.

Enhancing customer experience
Aer Lingus — Ireland’s flag carrier — is a popular pick for travellers across the world. But Aer Lingus knew they could make their checkouts easier for customers. With passenger numbers increasing, the airline aimed to deliver a seamless journey from flight booking to arrival.
After picking their destination, flights, and times, customers land on the final, crucial part of the booking process — payment. To make sure these high-value transactions are processed securely, airlines use Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). But this means extra authentication checks that cause some customers to drop off, or abandon their purchase altogether.
Aer Lingus needed to find new, secure ways to reduce friction in the ticket-buying process so customers could travel with ease. Luckily, they didn’t have to look far — enter Revolut Pay.
Cutting checkout to 1 click
Aer Lingus adopted Revolut Pay, an additional payment method that lets customers pay in seconds — all the while keeping payments secure and reducing fraud.
40+ million global Revolut customers — including 50% of the Irish population alone — could now complete their flight transaction in just one click.
Customers just choose Revolut Pay at checkout. Then, they use the Revolut app to authorise the payment securely with a passcode or biometric ID check. Just like that, flights are paid for without sharing card details.
And if a customer's account balance won't cover the payment amount, we'll send them a quick notification and they can use a saved card instead — reducing insufficient fund failures on top of customer drop-off.
Speed and satisfaction, sorted
With Revolut Pay, Aer Lingus can look forward to an average authorisation rate of 98.5% when customers use this payment method, which means more travellers can pay without any problems, and get on their way. These payment journeys also see cart abandonment rates below 10%. That’s more than lucky.
Revolut Pay helps merchants optimise their checkout conversions, costs, and speed. Processing transactions with Revolut Pay costs a fraction of what traditional payment providers charge, and it offers next-day fund settlement.
But the real win was making the customer experience that much smoother. Aer Lingus bookings are now frictionless for millions of Revolut customers around the world. Many of them are frequent travellers, too — and they’ll likely be coming back for more.

Commercial lawyer Stephen Franks believes there is a good chance the Commerce Commission will review how it calculates the amount of profit that Transpower and lines companies can make.
The Major Electricity Users Group says a High Court decision has identified an error in the way the profit is now set, which has resulted in customers being overcharged by more than $150 million per year.
It says this must be urgently addressed.
Mr Franks, who represented the group in the High Court, says if a review is not conducted by the end of next year, the rules that lines companies currently operate under will remain in place until 2020.
He says the net effect of that would be a windfall for the companies of about $1 billion over 10 years.

Have you ever had a nagging feeling that you're living your life on auto pilot? Our days turn to months, months to years, years to decades. Our calendars are marked with significant events....birthdays, diagnoses, surgeries, anniversaries, children leaving the nest, and yet so many of us are detached from the depth of emotion that these events hold. Our lives are marked by a busyness that lacks beauty.
Rituals borrow from the ancient traditions of marking events in tangible ways while in community together. They are sacred containers for all of the remembering, feeling, savoring, screaming, loving, lamenting our most important days and events hold. Rituals give us the space to truly mark our life's most sacred events. Rituals help us celebrate the beauty and grieve the losses. They give us the space to gather our tribe, look our lives square in the eyes and say, "I see you. I love you. This MATTERS."

Critically dry year may portend another record-setting fire season
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Department of Water Resources (DWR) conducted the third manual snow survey of the season at Phillips Station. The manual survey recorded 56 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent (SWE) of 21 inches, which is 86 percent of average for this location. The SWE measures the amount of water contained in the snowpack and is a key component of DWR’s water supply forecast.
“…water efficiency and drought preparedness are more important than ever…
Karla Nemeth, DWR Director
“As California closes out the fifth consecutive dry month of our water year, absent a series of strong storms in March or April we are going to end with a critically dry year on the heels of last year’s dry conditions,” said DWR Director Karla Nemeth. “With back-to-back dry years, water efficiency and drought preparedness are more important than ever for communities, agriculture and the environment.”
Dry conditions require coordination among state, federal and local entities. State water leaders are preparing to address the current dry conditions adaptively, guided by lessons learned during previous droughts.
Reservoirs showing the impacts
With below-average precipitation across the state, California’s reservoirs are showing the impacts of a second consecutive dry year. Lake Oroville is currently at 55 percent of average and Lake Shasta, California’s largest surface reservoir, is currently at 68 percent of average for this date.
Statewide snow survey measurements continue to reflect the overall dry conditions. Measurements from DWR’s electronic snow survey stations indicate that statewide the snowpack’s SWE is 15 inches, or 61 percent of the March 2 average, and 54 percent of the April 1 average. April 1 is typically when California’s snowpack is the deepest and has the highest SWE.
10 Percent Allocation
The current State Water Project (SWP) allocation of 10 percent amounts to 422,848 acre-feet of water, distributed among the 29 long-term SWP contractors who serve more than 27 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland. Last year the initial allocation was also 10 percent, with a final allocation of 20 percent set in May 2020.
Precipitation in the form of rain – and snowfall at higher elevations – is critical because it refills reservoirs, packs away snow for spring runoff and helps stem the risk of wildfires. As dry conditions continue to persist, Californians should look at ways to reduce water use at home. Each individual act of increasing water efficiency can make a difference. Visit SaveOurWater.com to learn easy ways to save water every day.

Are you preparing to move and want to find ways to save money? One option is to organize a moving sale! This could be an ideal method to dispose of some of your old things while also earning some extra cash. But how can you make sure that your move sale goes well? If you follow these tips, you’ll be well on your way to holding an easy and successful moving sale.
Plan for your moving sale
Give yourself a chance to plan and carry out your relocation sale. If you rent your home, you should let your landlord know about the event so they can accept it and give you the permits you need. To get more people to know about your sale, you could invite them to participate. More is better, right?
Spread the word and advertise
You need to advertise your moving sale if you want it to go well. Make sure your friends and neighbors know about your moving sale by advertising it on social media, putting up fliers in public places, or even making an online ad and posting it on sites like Craigslist. On the day of the sale, put up where you are and how to get there. If possible, use a poster board with bright colors to help people see it.
Have a variety of fair-priced items
Spend some time learning what comparable things are selling for before the sale day, and then decide on prices for your own items. You might make less money if you price things wrong at your moving sale. You want to ensure that you receive a fair price for your things and that they will sell. Make sure you have more than just books or clothes for sale at your sale. People are more likely to stop by if you have a wide range of items. In general, more people will come to you if you have more things to sell.
Prepare Your Space
Make sure there is enough space for people to move around as they look at your things. Having the right number of tables or racks on hand can also help you showcase your items appropriately. To increase visibility, try placing everything near a sidewalk, at the end of your driveway, or in your yard. Even though having your sale in a garage may seem like a good idea, people may not stop to look around if they can’t see what you’re selling.
Accept Multiple Forms of Payment
Make sure you are ready to accept a variety of payment methods, including cash, credit cards, and even electronic payments like Venmo. It is recommended to go to the bank before the day of your sale because you’ll need to have cash, such as smaller bills and other changes.
Clean Up Afterward
Make sure you have a plan for getting rid of any unsold items after the sale. If you decide not to keep the stuff, load it all up and take it to a place where you can donate it. You might even be able to have big things brought up. In that case, it is advisable to plan the pick-up as soon as possible. If you still have items you want to keep or sell online, put them in boxes right away to keep them from getting broken or scratched. Don’t forget to pick up and take down all your fliers and signs when your sale ends.
By using these tips, your chances of having a good moving sale are sure to go up!
If you want to move but haven’t found your next home, call Real Property Management First Choice to see good listings in your area!
We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Nation. See Equal Housing Opportunity Statement for more information.

Recorded 20 April 2018
Neon Sunset: Martin Phillipps Of The Chills Talks Touring, Pop Music & Songwriting
Annaliese of Neon Sunset speaks with frontman of The Chills, Martin Phillipps, about his 2018 solo tour of Australia, the art of pop music, the evolving nature of rock and the challenges of mixing moody lyrics with good riffs.
They also spoke about how Mark's ongoing battle with depression and illness interplays with his creative processes.
"I believe in rock music more than is fashionable at the moment because I still believe it's the alpha-art that has absolute freedom to do whatever it wants, to pick and take from any culture, era and throw things together. You can be absolutely high-brow there's lyrics that have been written that are as good as any poetry that's been written and there's absolutely the most stupid lyrics... some of the Ramones lyrics are mindnumbingly brilliant. I think rock music is getting a well justified kick in the butt at the moment".

Winter is upon us again and we’re looking for energy efficient heaters that wouldn’t spike our power bill. Did you come across Toasty Heater? This electric heater has been creating quite a buzz in the market lately. Does it truly live up to the hype. This review is an eye opener.
In this review, I share my experience using this heater in my home, its pros, cons, and help you make an informed decision.
Overview Of The Toasty Eletric Heater
Toasty Heater is a portable heater that claims to heat up your spaces like rooms, workplace or your car instantly. They come in various types like electric, propane, ceramic, and infrared heaters. It is portable and pretty easy to use. But the question is Does it really work as advertised?
Testing The Toasty Electric Heater
I bought this eletric heater from Amazon and upon receiving my order, I was totally disappointed. First of all, the heater was made from cheap materials, and had an inscription on the body that says ‘Made In China’. When plugged in, it is quite noisy and feels like a hairdryer.
I placed it in my cabin which is approximately 25ft square metre but it was unable to heat the room. Just the small area surrounding it, and that was only after almost 30 minutes. So basically, the claims that it can heat up a 35ft Square metre room is false.
Honestly, the advertisement is false and deceptive. Toasty Heater can only warm you up if you sit very close to it, like one feet close. If you stay two or three feet away you wouldn’t feel any warmth
Toasty Heater Pros: What I Fany
- It is portable
- Doesn’t need installation..
Toasty Portable Heater Cons: Not So Great Things About It
- Doesn’t produce enough heat for a room.
- It is noisy
- Energy consumption doesn’t justify the results.
Is The Toasty Heater A Scam? Customer Reports
The Toasty heater is not a scam per say. However, it can only heat up the surrounding around it and not the entire room. Just like max and heat well heaters it is an ineffective heating solution. It can only heat let’s say up to 5ft sq which is the size of a store and is not suitable for very large rooms or areas with high ceilings. Lots of customers on Amazon and BBB complained of the product becoming defective after a month of use. A customer report said.
The heater worked well for a month, but it started to leak oil. Actually, it splashes oil all over. I wasn’t aware at first but started noticing some droplets on the floor around the heater. They kept appearing after I wipe them down. I thought they were melted snow droplets from my shoes but when I smelled the liquid, they smelled like gasoline. I started examining and the heater basically shoots oil as far as two feet.
Where To Buy
You can buy this heater from their official website toastyheater.com and also from Amazon. The current price is $49.99.
The Toasty Heater does not really work as advertised. It does not heat up a room but just the area around it. You’ll need to think twice before you invite the Toasty Heater into your space.

Do you want to buy dresses or shirt from Wepenty online store located at wepenty.com? Beware! It is not a legit website to shop from. This review exposes everything you need to know before shopping from this store.
Wepenty.com Legit Online Store?
It is not genuine, folks. Wepenty.com otherwise known as Wepenty or Wepenty com is a suspicious online store that sells variety of women’s clothing items like dresses, two sleeves top, casual shirt, jumpsuit, two piece set for discount price. See the drawbacks of this website below –
Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Shop From Wepenty.com
Wepenty.com has a negative 1 star rating on Scamdoc. According to customer reviews, the store isn’t genuine. Customers who paid for an item were sent a different cheaper item. Meanwhile, all efforts to get a refund has been futile.
I ordered an item from this company August 30 and I’ve sent repeated emails regarding the status of my order with no reply and the name of the site URL has changed 3 times since I placed my order.
Steer clear of this scam
Wepenty.com is owned and operated by Fadel-Beatty Limited, a clothing company that has a bad reputation online. It specializes in a kind of scam known as ‘bait and switch scam’. The company uses pictures of clothes that aren’t theirs to sell cheap inferior imitation. See how it operates –
- Lures buyers with discount prices or coupon codes
- Fails to send confirmation email or tracking details
- Does not deliver the items ordered or sends a cheap imitation
- Rejects return or refunds
Delayed Shipping & Delivery
Wepenty isn’t located in Ireland as the address indicates. In reality, the company ‘Fadel-Beatty’ is located in China. It uses a fake business address to gain the trust of buyers. After making purchase, customers realize the order is coming from China. This means shipping and delivery will take weeks or months even.
Wepenty located at Wepenty.com is not a legit store to buy dresses. The website is owned by a company that engages in bait and switch scam to sell poor quality clothes.
Have you been scammed?- Do This
Shopping from this store exposes customers to the risk of hacked credit card and overcharged fees. Also, customers would either receive an inferior item, a different cheaper item, or nothing at all.
Therefore, it is advised to file complaints to your bank and request for a new credit (debit) card. On the other hand, if you used Paypal as a method of payment, you should document (screenshot) the transactions for future purposes.
Yes, it is true that online shopping has made life easier, however when ordering things online check out the following-

Stability Tests are performed to ensure product safety of cosmetics, which are an integral part of our daily lives. Stability Tests are indicative of any changes in the physical, chemical and microbiological criteria of the product during the specified shelf life.
Apart from the functional uses of cosmetics, it is extremely important that they are stable. Stability tests enable us to learn the physical, microbial and chemical quality of the product as well as the adequacy of the packaging during storage, transportation, sales and consumption of the end user.
Stability Tests are applied in two ways: Real Time and Accelerated Aging Tests.
In the real-time stability test, the product is kept in an environment that meets the normal sales conditions and the physical, microbiological and chemical changes that may occur in the product are monitored. Accelerated Aging Tests, which utilize mathematical modeling, are widely applied today, since there are difficulties in performing real-time stability tests on products with a shelf life of 1-2 years or more covered by durable consumer goods.
Accelerated aging tests are carried out in artificial environments containing temperature and humidity outside normal sales and consumption conditions. After accelerated aging tests, the necessary physical, microbial and chemical analyzes of the product are made to ensure that we have prior knowledge of the stability of the product.
Before starting accelerated aging tests, all the necessary information about the content, packaging and physical structure of the product must be obtained and the information must be notified by the manufacturer in advance. Temperature and times vary from product to product.
For example, for a wet wipe with a shelf life of 2 years, the Accelerated Aging Test at 40 and 50 degrees is applied. For a shelf life of 2 years, the product has a waiting time of 40 days at 210 degrees. The shelf life of the same product is 50 days for a shelf life of 2 years105 days. As you can see, the Accelerated Aging Test is inversely proportional to the temperature. The higher the temperature, the shorter the time. However, it should be noted that at the end of this period, there should be no physical, chemical or microbiological problems. Therefore, when determining this temperature, the softening temperature of the product packaging, the decomposition temperature of the product content, etc. should be taken into consideration.
There is no international standard for cosmetic shelf life in the sector. Therefore, shelf life tests performed in cosmetic products to be put on the market are carried out as 90 days at 40 degrees.
At the end of the holding period, the products are subjected to color, odor, appearance, pH, weight change, viscosity, microbial load and, if necessary, antimicrobial efficacy and packaging tests according to international pharmacopoeia analysis methods. Breaking, cracking and sealing tests of packaging materials are just as important as product tests.
In accelerated aging studies, it should be understood that the analysis parameters determined according to the type of the product can not maintain the stability of the products during the shelf life of the product if the test results show any negativity and the manufacturer should make necessary changes in both the product content and the packaging.
As a result, Accelerated Aging Tests are the tests that should be performed to prevent potential problems that may occur later on in the product and to prevent material and moral damages such as the collection and recall of the product from the market.

I’m having a great time at Microsoft’s Gamefest. I have SO much to learn, which of course makes me incredibly happy. I love learning new things. 🙂
The size of this conference is comparable to the Austin Game Conference, or Montreal International Game Summit. I think arguably this is the second largest developer event in the world. With nearly 100 distinct talks, these guys have done a great job in putting on a very pro event with few speedbumps.
It’s been fun meeting all my old “enemies” and bonding over shared frustrations and experiences. We’re of course all facing the same problems – this should be no surprise but of course always is. Similarly I suspect to other “enemies” in the world, whether it’s opposing industry forces or opposing political forces. It always seems that when enemies sit down with an open mind, they find they have a lot of things in common. Why don’t people do that more often? 🙂 I know, I know, people like to hold onto their positions and ideals and an “open mind” is truly hard to find. But I’m an idealist. I suppose that’s the position that *I* will always hold onto. 🙂

welcome to seattle! overcast? you should visit during the winter, that’s when the fun starts. 🙂
i grew up with nintendo and sega games and ms just made crappy dos. so even after working at ms its presence in the game industry feels somehow wrong. 😛 -
Hey Mark, you must have missed all the sun we had earlier in the month. Congratulations on your new job. –Michelle
Thanks Scoob! 🙂
Hey blackpawn… I hear what you’re saying for sure. I’ve spent ten years being upset at MS. But corporations are ultimately just collections of individuals, and the individuals at MS are really kicking ass these days.

Arkansas only SEC team to make the cut for sought after Clemson graduate transfer
Clemson graduate transfer Scott Pagano was arguably the sport’s most popular player this weekend, as more than 30 schools, including LSU, Georgia, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Arkansas and Ole Miss, reached out to the defensive tackle who was recently given his release.
On Monday, Pagano revealed that Arkansas is the only SEC school to make the cut. The Razorbacks are in Pagano’s final seven along with Oklahoma, Cal, Oregon, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Texas according to Ryan Bartow of 247Sports. Pagano will reportedly be setting up official visits with plans of enrolling at his new school in May.
If the Hogs land Pagano, they will be getting a big boost on the defensive line. Pagano tallied 93 tackles, including eight for loss, 2.5 sacks, 7 quarterback pressures, and a pass breakup in his Clemson career. CBS Sports already ranks the 6-foot-4, 295-pounder as a top-10 defensive lineman in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema has changed things up on defense this offseason as part of a switch to a 3-4 scheme for 2017. Former New York Jets assistant John Scott Jr. was recently hired to replace former defensive line coach Rory Sergrest. In January, defensive backs coach Paul Rhoads was promoted to defensive coordinator.

Devin White lays out reasons for potentially returning to LSU
Junior LB Devin White has a big decision to make whether to enter the NFL Draft or return for his senior season at LSU. With White being universally recognized as one of the best linebackers in the country, it might seem like his decision is made for him. It’s clear to anyone that has watched him play that he has a future playing on Sundays. That could very well start in 2019.
White, however, appears to be genuinely conflicted. Judging by what he told reporters on Tuesday, the Springhill, La. product feels he has some unfinished business in Baton Rouge.
“I said at media day I wanted to be the best linebacker of all time at LSU,” White said at a media opportunity. “I don’t know if I’ve reached that yet. I want to win a championship for Louisiana. I see the videos of guys like Matt Flynn kissing the trophy and wonder, ‘Why can’t that be me?'”
White is currently CBS Sports’ No. 8 overall prospect for the 2019 NFL Draft. Potential first-round picks are often advised to leave early.
Tigers coach Ed Orgeron told reporters Tuesday that White has not informed him of an NFL decision. He applauded the linebacker for committing to play in the Fiesta Bowl.
“He could have opted to not play,” Orgeron said. “He has not told me if he’s declaring. He has done what he should do and finish with his team.”

Canada has entered a sobering COVID-19 reality. Though we had weeks to prepare based on what we were seeing in China, Italy, Iran and other areas, Canada has only begun to put in place more aggressive public health policies of containment that are focused on slowing disease progression or flattening the curve. An already overburdened healthcare system has insufficient surge capacity to cope unless significant measures are undertaken. Slowing the progress of the virus is critical to slow the rate of inevitable hospitalizations; cancellation of elective procedures, which have occurred in some areas, will not be enough.
Surge capacity issues are coming to light—with media attention focused on ICU beds, ventilators, and supplies of personal protective equipment. While questionable access to the tools and technology of care are deeply concerning, far too little attention is being placed on care teams—the providers who support and deliver care and service to those infected by COVID-19. These team members are and will continue to be disproportionately exposed to the virus; they will experience extreme fatigue and have families who have and will also experience illness. Care teams need to be protected, cared for, and relieved. The longer this is drawn out, the more important this becomes.
At a macro level, there is a real tension between slowing progress of COVID-19 and seeking a rapid economic recovery. From a health perspective, a slow pace is an indication of success. From an economic perspective, a slower pace of spread, while blunting the health crisis, deepens business losses.
We are only weeks away from seeing how our healthcare system will cope and what the impact on staffing and supplies will be. We are two months away from knowing if COVID-19 is seasonal. A COVID-19 vaccine could be up to a year away. The introduction of antivirals could be several months away—depending on the success of current clinical trials. Herd immunity—where a significant proportion of the population is exposed, recovers and has enough immunity to offer a protective effect on the rest of the population—is likely over a year away depending on the efficacy of our public health efforts.
At an individual level, strategies such as social distancing become more difficult over time. Prolonged social isolation can impact mental, physical and spiritual health. We may protect ourselves from this virus, but negatively impact our quality of life and health in many other ways.
Recovery—and there will be recovery—is a critical consideration in contingency planning and we need to start thinking about it now. Schools and post-secondary institutions have closed—but what is the plan to re-open? How will student learning recover from such a prolonged period of absence?
Businesses, restaurants, public spaces, recreational facilities have closed—but how and under what conditions must exist for them to re-open? And what further supports need to be put in place to help family and small businesses weather this storm? When and on what basis will social distancing rules be relaxed? Recovery needs to be thoughtfully considered, and well thought out, even while we are actively responding.
Adaptation and innovation during this time will be critical. Opportunities are emerging that allow us to connect, meet, monitor and conduct health care and business in new ways that overcome social barriers of self-isolation through web-based applications and virtual approaches. Good people will come together, virtually. And when this is over, the critics, with benefit of hindsight, will critique our every action as going too far. And that will be the surest sign that we have succeeded.
In the meantime, we need to each do our part to help: avoid close contact with others, wash your hands frequently and be kind to one another.

Mapping lizard venom makes it possible to develop new drugs
- February 24, 2015
- Aarhus University
- Lizards and other reptiles are not normally considered venomous, but a number of lizard species actually do produce and use venom. The most classic venomous lizard is no doubt the gila monster -- a heavy-bodied lizard. As the first in the world, a group of researchers has made a comprehensive description of the proteins in the venom which can prove to be relevant in connection with developing new types of drugs.
Gila and beaded lizards are the classic venomous lizards. However, it was recently shown that venom is also used by a number of other species, such as the awesome Komodo monitors -- the largest present-day lizards. Lizard venom has much in common with snake venom, and the current theory is that the venom production apparatus in lizards and snakes is related, but has developed in different directions. Gila and beaded lizards mainly use venom to defend themselves, while snakes use their venom to attack prey. However, the composition of venom proteins is similar in lizards and snakes.
Potential in venom
Venom research is a large field, especially due to the pharmaceutical potential of the venom proteins. The idea here is that venom proteins are capable of affecting the body's cells. Excessive amounts can be harmful and even lethal in some circumstances, but if the right dose is used, the venom proteins can be used to treat certain diseases. Snake proteins that normally cause prey to bleed can be used in small doses to treat blood clots, for example.
In the same way, work is currently being done to develop spider venom proteins to provide pain relief. The Aarhus researchers focused on gila lizards, and these are currently being used in pharmaceutical contexts. Gila lizards produce exendin-4, a small venom protein used in the treatment of diabetes and obesity, which is a competitor to Victoza® -- produced by Novo Nordisk.
New venom proteins identified
A method called proteomics was used in the Aarhus study to make the first overall description of venom proteins in gila lizards. Individual proteins such as exendin-4 used to be purified from gila lizard venom, and this resulted in a number of interesting results. However, an overall analysis of all the venom proteins has not been undertaken before, which therefore made it easy to overlook the potentially important components in the venom.
Making a comprehensive analysis of the venom protein composition was not an easy task. "The work was complicated by the fact that the gila lizard genome hasn't been isolated, and genomes normally provide a map to navigate when you're using proteomics for protein identifications," says Associate Professor Kristian Wejse Sanggaard. "We therefore used a more manually based approach to identify the proteins in the gila lizard venom. This succeeded, and we've identified nineteen proteins that no one previously knew existed in the venom," he concludes.
Based on these identifications, the researchers have gained new knowledge about the function of the venom proteins, and have also gained greater insight into the evolutionary contexts of venom proteins. In addition, there are now new proteins that can potentially be used to develop future drugs.

St Martin's, Isles of Scilly
28 miles from Cornwall
St Martin's is one of the smaller islands that make up the Isles of Scilly, 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall. The islands enjoy a frost free climate and are home to a host of exotic plants, colonies of seabirds and rare marine life. Highertown, Middletown and Lowertown make up the three main communities on the island and we have a resident population of about 120 people.
Churchtown Farm is in Highertown and as the name suggests is right next to the Church. There has been a working flower farm at Churchtown for well over 100 years. Tucked behind the tall hedges, that protect the farm from Atlantic gales, is a hive of activity sending gift boxes of island grown scented flowers all over the country.
St Martin's is 2 miles long and about 1/4 mile wide, with a road that runs from one end to the other and plenty of footpaths that crisscross the island. The biggest attraction on St Martin's is the stunning scenery, particularly the many white sandy beaches dotted all around the coast. From Easter to October the island welcomes people coming on holiday to enjoy island life but even in the height of summer the island rarely feels crowded.
Life on a small island
People often have questions about day to day island life. There is a well stocked general store and post office, a bakery and plenty of produce sold from honesty stalls. Many people place orders online from the Co-op on St Mary’s.
Our electricity comes from the mainland, as well as quite a lot of roof top solar panels. Water comes from a mixture of private wells and a small water system managed by South West Water. Fuel for vehicles, like anything else we use, comes in by freight boat and has to be collected from one of the two quays.
Island children go to primary school on St Martin’s, weekly board on St Mary’s until yr 11 and then most travel to the mainland to finish their education. The doctor visits once a week and there is a small hospital and dentists on St Mary’s. The island has a fire brigade, a coastguard team and ambulance first responders. We even have our own island barber.
A thriving community
Small communities tend to naturally have their ups and downs. Currently St Martin’s is thriving. We have a good range of ages living on the island and a wide range of talents. There are a few galleries and little shops dotted across the island that showcase artwork and products inspired by this beautiful island we are lucky to call home.
If you want to find out more about St Martin’s or are thinking about planning a visit the community runs a website - stmartinsscilly.co.uk. This is a great place to start looking for accommodation and getting a feel for what St Martin's has to offer.
Our little island home has a few surprises tucked away. The Isles of Scilly enjoys dark skies and to make the most of this a group of islanders have built an observatory and hold events to share their fascination with the stars. During the summer you can take a guided trip to go snorkelling with seals. There is also a vineyard and rum distillery.
Dotted across St Martin’s is evidence of those who have lived here before us, from ancient burial sites to the relatively modern remains of old glass houses that were used to force early daffodils. The flower farms no longer use additional heat, having found varieties of scented narcissi that flourish outdoors from October to Easter.
We have put together a collection of our favourite videos featuring Scilly, to watch them click on the link below.
The Day Mark
At the far east of St Martin’s is what looks like a giant red and white rocket. This iconic St Martin’s landmark was built as a navigational mark to help ships avoid the treacherous rocks that lie north and east of St Martin’s. Although ships now have many navigational aids it is still maintained as a shipping mark by Trinity House.
Scilly has a very small football league - two teams based on St Mary's who play each other through the season. In the summer each Island, often with the help of visitors, musters a cricket team for a series of matches. But the sport that Scilly is most famous for is gig rowing. Over the first May bank holiday every year the Islands host the World Pilot Gig Championships. Hundreds of crews come for a weekend of racing and fun. St Martin's has two gigs the Dolphin and the Galatea so you know who to cheer for! To find out more about this spectacle click here.

A bite is considered to be healthy when all or most of the teeth are present and not destroyed by normal daily usage.
It is destructive when teeth show wear, looseness or when TMJ (jaw joint) damage is seen. Bite therapy helps restore a bite that can function without damage and destruction. The therapy may include:
- Reshaping the biting surfaces of the teeth and eliminating spots of excessive pressures where the teeth are brought into contact. This is done by carefully dividing bite pressures evenly across all of the teeth.
- Bite splint therapy using a custom-fitted and adjusted plastic bite guard to keep the teeth apart, worn during the day, at night, or both.
- Braces to reposition mal-aligned or drifted teeth.
- Replacement of old, worn out, or damaged fillings.
- Reconstruction of badly worn and damaged teeth.

When buying the right scrubber, problems can arise.
Knowing that bacteria such as E. coli and C-diff can be transferred from shoes to the floor and vice versa, it is important to ensure that our floors are as clean as possible. So we mop the floor in a small area, or use scrubbers in a large area. In both cases, ensuring that the equipment is clean can keep our floor clean, not more polluted.
Mops are very simple tools. If we use them correctly, we can do the job well. They should be cleaned after each use. This means that if the head is detachable, remove it and put it in the hottest washing machine and add bleach. If the head is permanently fixed, soak it in hot water containing some detergent. Make sure to let it dry completely and store it upside down, and don't lie on the ground to absorb more contaminants. If possible, vacuum the area first to remove as much debris as possible.
Then use hot water and high-quality cleaning fluid. When mopping the floor, a certain amount of dirt will be redistributed. However, most of them were picked up by mops. So flushing the mop frequently is the key. There is only so much that cleaning solutions can do. Therefore, if you are mopping a large area, it is a good idea to empty the mop bucket with fresh hot water and cleaning liquid.
Otherwise, mop water will only exacerbate the problem.
Also keep in mind that the longer the mop head is allowed to dry after heavy use, the more likely it is that it will get dirty, making it look dirtier than it actually is. Some chemicals can also damage the fibers, causing them to lose their color. So don't think that the mop you are using will be thrown away because of its discoloration. If it has been properly cleaned, simply wring it out in clean water to test the mop head. If the water is kept clean, the mop head should be fine. If it is dirty, either clean it well or buy a new one.

Seaboard Marine wishes to advise our valued customers of Tropical Storm Eta’s impact as we continue to track the storm.
The center of the storm remains slightly west of southwest Florida and is currently not impacting the Miami area. All of our Miami facilities, including the PortMiami terminal, are fully open.
Multiple vessels have been discharged and loaded at our PortMiami facility over the past 36 hours. For details on the updated vessel schedule, please contact your Seaboard Marine representative.
Puerto Cortes, Honduras, and Santo Tomas, Guatemala, are open for vessel and terminal operations. Trucking operations in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua have largely resumed with few exceptions, mostly in Guatemala, as road and bridge conditions gradually improve following widespread flooding after last week’s historic rainfalls.
As Eta’s path continues to develop, we will continue to monitor and provide updates on operations and the vessel’s status as developments occur.
The safety of our staff, crews, vessels, and our customer’s cargo is of the utmost importance.
We appreciate the patience and support of our customers during this active 2020 Hurricane Season.

Alexis Notabartolo is thrilled to be a part of this original satirical look at LaLa Land. Lexi is a graduate of the Upright Citizens Brigade training center and a graduate of the Conservatory program at the Second City Hollywood Training Center. Lexi is the redder haired half of sketch and improv duo Velvet Pile and performs around Los Angeles as often as she can with people who will have her. Abandoning the life of a fancy-pants political operative / academic for that of a vagabond comedic performer, Lexi can be seen in a number of short films and commercials, the Showtime series Reality Show, and Lifetime’s Prank My Mom. Lexi respectfully requests you laugh until it kinda hurts.

Now that we have the passive FTP server completely set up and working, we can begin utilizing it. Next, let’s begin by going ahead and adding a digital video recorder to it. Below is a short guide on how to connect an Elite Series recorder to an FTP server. In case you missed it, be sure and check out the previous article on how to set up an FTP server using FileZilla. There you will learn to create a passive FTP server in FileZilla, which will be necessary to begin the steps in this guide. Once you’re ready, follow the steps provided below or follow along in the video found at the bottom of the article.
How To Connect An Elite Series Recorder To An FTP Server
Step 1: Enable FTP
Begin by going to the local interface of your Elite Series recorder. First, open the main menu by right-clicking inside the interface and selecting Main Menu. Then select the Storage option found under settings. Next, go to FTP and locate Enable, found at the top of the menu. Select the box to enable the FTP server.
Step 2: Image Upload Interval Test
Once the FTP server is enabled, go ahead and enter the Host IP address. This is the IP address of the recorder that the FTP server is set up on. Next, enter in the correct User Name and Password. For the purpose of this example, the User Name will be Demouser and the Password will be admin123. Now change the Image Upload Interval (set at 0 by default) to 10 seconds. The rest of the settings can remain as they are found by default, which means leave each of the boxes unchecked (since we are only going to be sending snapshots to our FTP). Select Apply. Now select Test and make sure the message reads FTP Test Connect OK. Then select Apply and Save.
Step 3: Enable Snapshot
Now go back to the Main Menu and go to the Storage option. Next, go to Record. Now we will enable Snapshot on Channel 1. Once you’ve selected Enable 1 under Snapshot (the rest should all be lined up beside this selection), click Apply and Save.
Step 4: Enable Motion Detection
Go back to the Main Menu and select the Storage option. Next, go to Schedule. Now we are going to set out Snapshot Schedule based off of motion. Select Snapshot, found at the top next to Record. Next click the settings wheel for Sunday, found on the right side. Regular should already be checked. Click the box next to MD to enable motion detection. Now uncheck the box next to Regular. Then click the box for All to enable motion detection for all days. Select OK to apply. Then select Apply and Save. Go to Recording again and select Apply and Save.
Step 5: Enable Motion Detection Continued
Go back to the Main Menu and select the Event option. Now we are going to enable motion detection for a Channel 1. Click the box next to Enable MD to enable motion detection. Next, enable Snapshot. Then click Apply and Save.
Step 6: Triggering Snapshots
Now we are going to connect to our computer. Select and open up FileZilla by right-clicking the icon and selecting Run As Administrator. Once it opens, you will see that it’s now disconnected. Now open up the FTP Folder. Next, we will create some motion at the camera to witness the snapshot files being put in the FTP Folder. You should see the snapshots that were triggered based on the motion.
Step 7: Sending Video to FTP
Now we will go ahead and go over the settings on how to send video to your FTP server. Open up the Main Menu and select the Storage option. Go to FTP settings and change the weekday to All. Next, select the box under MD to enable motion detection for Period 1. This is also where you can enable alarm, intel, and regular. Select Apply and Save. Then go back to Event settings and make sure Enable MD is checked in the Video Detect category. Now go back to Schedule and repeat step 4 to apply for both Record and Snapshot.
That completes the guide on how to connect a recorder to an FTP server. Follow along with the video tutorial provided below if you are having any problems.

DES MOINES, Iowa–LCS announced today the closing of financing and start of construction for The Delaney of Bridgewater. The community will be a 262,000-square-foot Class A senior living community located in Bridgewater, NJ, that will provide a full continuum of care to its future independent, assisted and memory care residents. The community is slated to open in the Fall of 2020. Financial terms were not disclosed.
“We conducted extensive market research and believe the Bridgewater market area is well suited for this type of senior living community,” said David Laffey, EVP/senior managing director for LCS Real Estate. “The Delaney of Bridgewater is the fifth community in the portfolio, and we are thrilled to partner with BMO Harris on another opportunity.”
The Delaney of Bridgewater will be located on Frontier Road just north of the I-287 and Route 22 intersection. The community will feature 224 residences including 122 independent living apartments and—in response to consumer desire—15 free-standing villas. The Delaney will offer a continuum of care and include 56 residences for assisted living and a memory care neighborhood that will accommodate 32 residents. Community amenities include concierge services, café/bar, clubroom, expansive multi-purpose room, exercise studios, wellness suite and dining rooms.
“We find these communities have been well-received by the consumer,” said Chris Bird, EVP/director of rental. “The thoughtful design that includes a continuum of care in one location fuels the market acceptance. Additionally, the unique programs offered by Life Care Services are the foundation of our promise to residents: Extraordinary Impressions®, Heartfelt CONNECTIONS – A Memory Care Program® and Health and Wellness Navigation Program™.”
A demonstration of the depth of LCS, LCS Real Estate™ facilitated the acquisition and debt placement. LCS Development® is the developer, and Life Care Services® will provide management services. All three are LCS companies. Four additional Delaney communities are located in Texas in the cities of Georgetown, Waco, Richmond, and League City.
