"The Yamaha VX Limited is an upscale PWC equipped with Yamaha's new TR-1 High Output engine. The company reports that the engine is 40% smaller than the motor it replaces, yet produces 12.7% more power. The VX Limited was very quick getting on plane, with 0 to 30 mph times of just 2.4 seconds. Top speed is 53.1 mph at 8100 rpm, and most efficient operation is at 6000 rpm and 31.2 mph, at which point she burns 3.4 gph for a range of 155 miles with a 10% fuel reserve.",
null,
"The Yamaha VX Limited is built around the popular VX WaveRunner, but with many accessories added. Note the Metallic Red color.\n\nYamaha has taken the mission of family fun seriously, putting together a package deal consisting of its popular VX WaveRunner and every accessory needed to get on the water, get towing, and store it all properly. It’s a long awaited get together that is sure to rock some boats… literally and figuratively.",
null,
"As a watersports platform, the VX Limited is ideal for family fun.\n\nThis package comes with every accessory that a family may want for fun times on the water. Here’s the list --",
null,
"The VX Limited comes complete with everything needed for family watersports.",
null,
"An accessory bag attaches to the rear of the seat.\n\nAs for the Yamaha VX Limited itself, it’s not a starter model, but more of a mid-level designed to carry up to three people. Let’s look at some of the features.\n\nRiDE is one of the most significant advancements we’ve seen in personal watercraft. While the spring-loaded throttle trigger is in its normal position on the right side of the handlebars, the left hand handles another trigger that controls reverse. With RiDE, and a simple squeeze of the left trigger, the VX Limited enters reverse mode. Because the reverse bucket directs thrust out the sides, drivers get the benefit of instant steering response. Keep in mind that the reverse steering is backwards… left is right and right is left, and this takes some getting used to, but it does come. We used the bottom of the steering handlebar -- not the top -- to dictate the VX Limited’s direction of reverse travel and got the hang of it pretty quickly.",
null,
"The trigger for the RiDE features is located on the left side of the handlebar. Left is reverse, right is forward.\n\nWe’re cruising along and all of the sudden, a sandbar appears ahead of us, just under the surface. We need to stop… now. What happens if we grab the RiDE trigger from full speed? The RiDE technology adjusts the deceleration and reverse accordingly so that the watercraft will still stop in the most efficient manner while remaining in control. When riding at cruising speeds, the engine deceleration is moderate. At higher speeds, the deceleration is more pronounced. It allows the craft to slow and stop in as short a distance as possible while still remaining in control, and without launching the driver over the handlebars. Yamaha says that stopping travel distance is reduced by 30%.\n\nWhat if there’s a new rider onboard, and he/she grabs both triggers at the same time? The RiDE electronics correctly assume that the vehicle still needs to be stopped and works as if only the left trigger was activated.\n\nYamaha powered the VX Limited with the new TR-1 engine. It was designed to replace the MR1 that has proven itself for years in Yamaha watercraft. The new model is more powerful, lighter and smaller than its predecessor. Let’s look at some specifics of this engine.",
null,
"The TR-1 is smaller than the old MR1, so there’s more room around all sides of the engine for easier maintenance.\n\nFor the new motor, Yamaha dropped from four-cylinders and five valves to three cylinders and four valves. Displacement is reduced from 1051cc to 1049cc and the overall weight is lower, 160 lbs. (73 kg) versus 216 lbs. (98 kg). That’s a 25% reduction. While the new engine is 40% smaller and 25% lighter, Yamaha says it increased power by 12.7%. This means that the new generation of WaveRunners, including the VX, is lighter, has better acceleration, better top speed, and more nimble handling. For better serviceability, the TR-1 has more of a convenient location for the oil filter, air filter, and service checkpoints. Improved engine coatings lead to improved corrosion protection.",
null,
"That black cap to the rear is a freshwater flush connector. Just attach a garden hose to rinse away any saltwater.\n\nOn any WaveRunner, it’s tempting to squeeze the throttle trigger the whole way and let it rip. But sometimes there’s a need to travel through no-wake areas and holding the trigger at a precise setting for a long time is inconvenient, so Yamaha came up with the Cruise Assist/No Wake buttons. A single press and three-second hold of the No Wake button is answered by three “beeps” and the VX will set a forward cruise speed of approximately 5 mph. It’s slow enough to produce no wake but fast enough to make progress and provide thrust for steering without having to touch the throttle. To return to normal operations, just squeeze the trigger and No Wake is disengaged. For cruising, bring the VX Limited up to a comfortable speed, press “SET”, and squeeze the trigger fully. The Cruise Assist will engage and hold that speed regardless of the throttle position (unless it’s released). Then the cruise speed can be adjusted incrementally with the Up and Down arrows. This feature would be good for towing a tube, or perhaps when two or more WaveRunners are traveling together.",
null,
"The Cruise Assist and No Wake buttons are located on the right handlebar.\n\nThe NanoXcel hull far surpasses its fiberglass counterpart in terms of light weight and strength. It starts out life as a flexible sheet. When put under extreme pressure, it becomes solid with extreme strength. In the case of the WaveRunner, the pressure is actually a machine press in the shape of the hull. When the two parts of the press come together on the sheet, the hull is formed and the solidifying takes place. Separate the press and out comes the hull.",
null,
"The NanoXcel hull is light and strong, which makes for a sportier ride while burning less fuel.",
null,
"In the center of the panel is a multi-function LCD gauge that gives speed and engine rpm as well as an indicator for forward, neutral and reverse.\n\nThe VX Limited features higher-quality accessories, including four pull-up cleats (two on each side), and chromed highlights, such as the Yamaha logo at the rear of the machine.",
null,
"Four pull-up cleats that enhance the VX Limited’s versatility are another example of the complete accessories package this watercraft comes with.\n\nThe three-person contoured seat is comfortable and it accommodates a rear-facing observer during towsports. It’s upholstered with a thick marine-grade vinyl.",
null,
"The rear section of the cruiser seat curves up to provide more safety for the third rider.\n\nThe VX Limited is fully compliant for tow sports with its three-person capacity and accommodation for a rear-facing observer. It’s also legal for states that require rearview mirrors for towing. It makes sense that the rear deck is large enough to serve as a staging area for getting onto the tube, and as a reboarding platform. To reboard from the water, flip down the spring-loaded step and climb aboard.",
null,
"A full-sized platform at the rear makes for a convenient staging area for getting into the water.",
null,
"The Yamaha VX Limited comes with 24.6 gallons (108 L) of storage in three separate compartments. The front compartment is the largest and it includes dedicated fire extinguisher storage. The hatch is held open with a clever hinge that locks when opened past a detent.",
null,
"We kept extra life vests in the forward storage compartment and there was available space for more.\n\nJust ahead of the driver is a smaller glove-box-style compartment. It would be good for items such as sunscreen and vessel registration and it’s large enough to hold a couple of water bottles. The VX Limited is the only WaveRunner with a 12V power plug and Yamaha located it in this compartment, providing a place to plug in the electric water toy inflator.",
null,
"Drop quick retrieve items into this convenient compartment just ahead of the driver.",
null,
"The water toy inflator plugs into a socket in the center storage compartment.\n\nRemove the seat to uncover waterproof storage. This container has a screw top with a rubber O-ring to keep items dry and it’s removable.",
null,
"Yamaha covers the decking in Hydro-Turf non-skid matting to allow for a better grip for bare feet. It also remains cool to the touch in direct sunlight.",
null,
"Mounted on the stern of the VX Limited just below the seat, the tow hook is an easy attachment point for a towrope.",
null,
"A tow ring allows the VX Limited to be used for tow sports.\n\nDual mirrors molded into the front visor give the rider better spatial awareness and let him or her keep an eye on the end of the towline. This is a required feature in some states for all watercraft being used for towing.",
null,
"The dual mirrors are integrated into the visor for a streamlined look.\n\nThe WaveRunner VX Limited is comfortable to sit on and in maneuvers, she transitions from one move to the next. This is a family watercraft designed to keep everyone out of trouble.",
null,
"The Yamaha VX Limited doing what it does best… cranking and banking.",

"In the recent years the focus has started to shift onto men as well. Magazines like “Men’s Health” and “GQ” right now feature hunky studmuffins on the girl, encouraging men who are overweight and obese to get themselves into shape.\nAfter all, most decent women like a guy who takes care of his body and his health because it shows that he is fit enough to be able to protect her and her children if she decides she wants to bear any by him.\nDespite what the politically correct brigade have been trying to teach us, humanity is still about “survival of the fittest”. It’s been like that ever since we were created and will continue to be long after we are all dead. Modern nudist video men don’t have nearly as much stuff aimed at them. …\n\nMore nudist video articles\nBy this, he was not talking about being merely sexually attracted to a girls atnaturist videos"

"The adventure motorcycle segment in India is growing at a good rate and currently, the most affordable model is Royal Enfield Himalayan, but it will change with the introduction of new Xpulse 200 and Xpulse 200T as Hero is expected to launch both these motorcycles early next year around Rs. 1 lakh.\n\nHero Xpulse 200 made its debut at the 2018 Auto Expo while the Xpulse 200T was unveiled at the EICMA earlier this month. The production versions spotted look exactly similar to the prototypes showcased at EICMA and even though the base design theme is the same between both bikes, we can easily distinguish them.",
null,
"The touring model comes with black finished alloy wheels while the standard Xpulse 200 get wired focus, the former rides on 17-inch wheels with 100/80 – 17 MRF Nylogrip Zapper tyre and 130/70-17 MRF REVZ-S tyre at the rear. The Xpulse 200 fuel injected variant will come with premium Metzeler tyres instead of Ceat tyre of the regular model.\n\nThe suspension is also same with telescopic forks at front and mono-suspension at the rear, but the tuning will be different. One of the highlights of Xpulse 200 and 200T will be the all-digital instrument cluster, which is new for Hero and it comes with Bluetooth connectivity, which helps the rider to attend calls, navigation and text message in the cluster just like the TVS Ntorq unit.\n\nThe company has also given LED lights and braking duties are handled by disc brakes at either end with single channel ABS system will be standard. Both bikes are powered by same 199.6 cc single-cylinder engine producing 18.4 bhp of maximum power and 17.1 Nm of max torque. The gearbox will be a 5-speed unit but the tuning and gear-ratio will be different."

"/ so how did your reading month go? Top faves of N\n\n/ sooooo, get any shopping done this weekend? ▪\n\n/ turkey day, just wanted to say whatever your pla\n\n/ can you believe it's already mid-november?! ▪\n\n/ it's been a week. How have you been coping this\n\nAfter an injury ends Travis Ford’s major league baseball career, he returns home to start over. He just wants to hammer out his frustrations at his new construction gig and forget all about his glory days. But he can’t even walk through town without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there’s Georgie, his buddy’s little sister, who is definitely not a kid anymore.\n\nGeorgette Castle has crushed on her older brother’s best friend for years. The grumpy, bear of a man working for her family’s house flipping business is a far cry from the charming sports star she used to know. But a moody scowl doesn’t scare her and Georgie’s determined to show Travis he’s more than a pretty face and a batting average, even if it means putting her feelings aside to be “just friends.”\n\nTravis wants to brood in peace. But the girl he used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman who makes him feel whole again. And he wants her. So damn bad. Except Georgie’s off limits and he knows he can’t give her what she deserves. But she’s becoming the air he breathes and Travis can’t stay away, no matter how hard he tries...\n\nFix Her Up is my second read by Tessa Bailey. I didn’t quite fall in love with the first book that I’ve read by her, but a lot of my bookish friends LURRRRVVVEEEEEE her books. And that’s what lead me to give another one of her books a try. Overall, I thought it was a cute story, I can’t say that I was completely behind her reasons for the changes she made about herself. But overall, a pretty solid story that so many will enjoy.\n\nGeorgie absolutely made this story for me, I loved her so damn much and it was nearly impossible not to. It peeved me so much that no one took her seriously because of what she does for a living. She made a career for herself and it’s something she’s proud of and absolutely adores. I was tsk-ing so much during this book when it came to her family. She tried and tried to show them that she was more than what she does, and they constantly laughed her off. I hated it. She deserved the world.\n\nI’ll be honest and might be in the minority, but I wasn’t completely sold on Travis. But he grew and matured throughout this story and that had me appreciating him a bit more. Georgie was simply too good for Travis and he didn’t deserve her, but he won her over completely and wasn’t letting her go.\n\nI liked that they both had their personal struggles that needed to be worked through. It added another element to this story that I thoroughly appreciated. It was just a love story, but one of growth and new beginnings.\n\nFor my 2nd Tessa Bailey read and I truly enjoyed this quirky and cute story! I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.\n\nmajor thank you to the publisher and edelweiss for the complimentary copy in consideration for a review. this does not affect my opinion of the book or review.\n\nReview | The Do-Over — a second chance with the right one.\n\nReview | Bound by Forever — shifter and fae romance, a coupling I haven’t read much about!\n\n103 books reviewed so far this year.\n(check out Goodreads for more reviews).",

"Against all odds, Nintendo just released a full firmware update for the Wii U, a console that hasn’t been current-gen since early 2017. Update 5.5.5 was released on March 1 in Japan — the first software update to the console since September 2018.\n\nAs you might expect, Nintendo hasn’t made much of a fuss at all about the update, rolling it out quietly and without announcement. The only official mention of the new firmware is on Nintendo Japan’s support page. The rest of the internet, meanwhile, is intrigued.\n\nAccording to the Japanese site, firmware update 5.5.5 won’t make any noticeable changes to your Wii U’s interface. The update instead focuses on general improvements to system stability and other “minor adjustments” to “enhance the user experience.”\n\nThe Wii U was never particularly popular, especially in comparison to the consoles released directly before and after it (the Wii and Switch, respectively). The fact that Nintendo is still servicing the console’s software at all (even if only once every few years) is impressive.\n\nTotal eclipse of the Switch — In the sprawling history of Nintendo, the Wii U is a mere blip on the radar. The company’s follow-up to the incredibly popular Wii just couldn’t live up to its predecessor’s success. Most people had trouble figuring out why they would want to purchase the console, especially if they already owned the Wii, and Nintendo’s marketing didn’t make it any clearer. Meanwhile, the screen in the controller was interesting but lacked a killer use-case that would make it a must-have.\n\nThe much-maligned console ended up selling fewer than 14 million units worldwide — a fraction of the Wii’s 101 million units sold. In late 2016, when Nintendo officially unveiled the Switch, the Wii U dropped out of cultural consciousness almost entirely. Already the console has far outsold the Wii U, and it’s on track to soon surpass popular Nintendo systems like the Game Boy Advance.\n\nBut thanks for all the games — The Wii U itself is quickly fading into the abyss of forgotten consoles, but we do have Nintendo’s flop to thank for some recent classics.\n\nLike Super Mario 3D World, for example, a title so good it was recently ported to the Switch as Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. And thank goodness it was — not nearly enough people played it the first time around, because, well, not that many people owned the Wii U.\n\nThe Switch’s best-selling game of all time, Mario Kart 8, also debuted on the Wii U. And now the Switch port, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, has shipped more than 33.41 million units.\n\nWill the latest Wii U firmware update affect many gamers? Absolutely not. But hey, it’s nice to see Nintendo knows how to commit to the bit, and it bodes well for the longevity of the Switch."

"This is a story about Thanksgiving. But it’s also a story celebrating the city of Los Angeles, new love, and that time I almost set my mother-in-law’s kitchen on fire.\n\nI first tried the subject of this article, bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, in 2007. That year, I was finally able to eat at A.O.C., the brainchild of beloved L.A. restauranteur Suzanne Goin and partner Caroline Styne. When I got to the little plate of bacon-wrapped dates, I understood what all the hype was about – a mix of vibrant flavors (sweet/salty/umami) and textures (soft/crispy/chewy), the dates became the new objects of my obsession.\n\nAnd yet…I didn’t get to try the dates again until 2011. In the intervening years, I had experienced breakups with a long-term boyfriend, a long-term job, and long-term friends. My life had changed drastically (and ultimately for the better) during those years, and I frankly hadn’t really felt motivated to cook. In 2011, I decided to throw a party for myself, inviting girlfriends and celebrating all my life’s changes and uncertainty, both past and present. What better time to try to revisit, and try to recreate, some old favorite dishes? A.O.C.’s dates immediately came to mind. Fortunately, Suzanne Goin had generously allowed the recipe to be published — but before that happened, I found Gourmet Magazine’s version, published on Epicurious, which I have made ever since. (The main differences between the recipes, as far as I can tell: Goin’s recipe calls for Deglet Noor dates while Gourmet’s uses Medjools, Gourmet’s uses toothpicks to secure the bacon to the date, and Gourmet’s recipe calls for a higher baking temperature. When I try Goin’s recipe, I’ll update this post.)\n\nThe bacon-wrapped dates were as good as I remembered, and forever cemented their place in my list of go-to party recipes. As with all party recipes, the dates recipe has acquired memorable stories over the years. Perhaps the funniest story was when I decided to make the bacon-wrapped dates as my contribution to the first Thanksgiving I celebrated with a new boyfriend’s family in 2012. Thanksgiving being one of her favorite holidays, the new boyfriend’s mother always threw a lavish Thanksgiving party, complete with perfectly-cooked food and a beautifully-set table. I felt shy, embarrassed, and intrusive, and when I finally got up the courage to ask for a cookie sheet on which to bake the dates, it was minutes away from dinner. I grabbed the first cookie sheet I saw, which happened to be one of those flat sheets with a raised ridge at one end, tumbled the dates on top, and slid the sheet into the oven. After about 10 minutes, my boyfriend’s cousin sniffed the air and wondered aloud why it smelled like smoke in the kitchen. “I’m sure everything’s fine,” I casually dismissed her worries as I scrambled to load the other cookie sheet with dates. Nevertheless, the cousin opened the oven to a small, yet substantial, fire caused by bacon grease dripping onto the heating element. Family members were running through the kitchen grabbing food with which to set the table, but everyone stopped and gaped as the cousin announced, “Uh…there’s a fire!” and with a loud poof, a cloud of ash scattered in the air. Which is a long-winded way for me to tell you the crucial lesson here: when baking bacon, always use a baking sheet that has four raised edges.\n\nBack to the scene of the crime: I was utterly mortified. To the credit of my boyfriend’s mother, we all had a good laugh about the oven fire. As it turns out, I married that boyfriend…and of course, I have never been able to live down the story of how I almost set the house on fire on Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law, good-humored as always, requests that I make the dates every year.",
null,
"As with all my other recipe adaptations, I can’t profess to make a version that has stayed 100% true to A.O.C.’s version. But I suppose that’s natural – any recipe, however precisely written, will transform through the lens of the cook’s preferences and tastes. My making of the dates always bears the unmistakeable trademarks of me – I’m always rushing, always late, always two steps behind, which is reflected in the dates. The dates always, maddeningly, take extra-long because I always want the bacon to be perfect, crispy, liberated of all of its fat, shrunken tightly to the date as if the dates were born with bacon as an outer skin, hybrid bacon-dates but never GMO, of course not.\n\nAnd let’s say you’re over for dinner…I hand you a platter of just-roasted dates, you gingerly pick one up by its toothpick and you bite into the date. It’s always too hot, so you burn the tip of your tongue and the roof of your mouth, but you’re so hungry, dammit, because you’ve been waiting for me to finish cooking for hours. And so you plow on through the crispy-steaming-hot date because the touch of bacon to your tongue, however burning, makes you salivate and that salivation requires attending to, requires satiation. And so you bite down, tentatively at first, and then more confidently and aggressively, the first bite of crisp bacon tempered with a core of molten-sweet date, the second bite the same except with a deeper inner core of hot, salty, crumbly Parmigiano-Reggiano, and you’re inhaling rapidly the whole time as people do when they want to cool their mouths off, but you’re also trying to chew because all the flavors are so intense and salty and sweet and smokey, and you also want to experience all the textures: soft/sticky/crunchy…so you chew and you wave your hand frantically over your mouth and you chew and then you swallow. And you are happy. And you reach for another date. And another. Until finally, the magic fades, and the bacon fat cools, and you’re left with a memory of date, a wisp of smoke, a stomach roiling with the richness of bacon-wrapped Parmigiano-stuffed dates. And it’s at that point I hand you another platter of dates, fresh from the oven, and persuade you to eat another one, just another.\n\nMay you have happy bacon-wrapped date memories as well. Happy Thanksgiving, dear readers.",

"The evolution of the bacon-wrapped dates: now with crispier bacon!",
null,
"Make sure to use a baking pan with raised edges - copious amounts of bacon fat will render out, and you do NOT want to set a grease fire in your oven, as I did! If your dates are on the smaller side, feel free to stuff a smaller piece of Parmigiano-Reggiano inside the dates - err on the side of less cheese rather than more, because the bacon will also contribute saltiness, and you want the bacon, cheese, and dates to be equal partners here, rather than the dates be overwhelmed by the bacon and cheese. Use the best cheese you can find - with only three ingredients, the quality of your cheese will really shine.\nappetizersbacon\nNovember 23, 2015 by Sunny",

"The Minneapolis City Council recently cleared the way for a new tech company to move into Clearview Industrial Park. Aihatmakertechcrunch is a startup accelerator that helps startups find funding and partners. It’s the second startup accelerator to open in Minneapolis in the past year, following iStartup. Both of these facilities are important for the city’s growing technology sector. In addition, Clearview Industrial Park has been identified as one of the top 10 industrial areas in the country for technology innovation.\n\nThe Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously Friday to clear the way for a new startup accelerator in downtown Minneapolis. The proposal – which comes from Clearview Development, LLC – would convert part of the historic Grain Exchange building into an incubator and coworking space for startups.\n\n“This is really about Minneapolis coming together to develop our startup ecosystem,” said Councillor Blong Yang. “This is a big deal and it’s something that we need in order to maintain our position as one of the top cities in the nation.”\n\nThe city will now work with Clearview Development to refine the proposal and secure funding. If all goes according to plan, the accelerator could open its doors by early 2019.\n\nAccording to Clearview Development, the new accelerator will serve as a resource for budding entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses in downtown Minneapolis. In addition to office space and access to resources, participants will have access to mentorship from established entrepreneurs and investors.\n\nMinneapolis Council Clearview Aihatmakertechcrunch\nThe Minneapolis City Council has approved a resolution to create the Clearview Commission, an advisory body tasked with developing a comprehensive vision for the future of Minneapolis’s east side. The commission will have nine members, five appointed by Mayor Betsy Hodges and four appointed by the City Council.\n\nThe commission’s goals include creating jobs and economic development opportunities for residents on the east side, better connecting neighborhoods, improving transportation, increasing access to education and health care, and protecting and enhancing public spaces.\n\n“The east side has been neglected for too long,” said Hodges in a statement. “This is an important step forward in turning things around for this community.”\n\nThe commission will begin its work in January and is scheduled to complete its report by December 2020.\n\nAihatmaker, a Somali-American immigrant and innovator who has built several businesses in the Twin Cities, will work with the city’s departments to identify and solve problems using technology. He will also spearhead the city’s efforts to become more digitally savvy.\n\n“Aihatmaker is an extraordinary individual with a wealth of experience and knowledge,” said Mayor Pro Tem Karen U tirman. “His appointment as CTO underscores our commitment to developing innovative solutions that make our community stronger.”\n\nClearview is one of several Minnesota communities trying to stay ahead of the curve in terms of technological innovation. Aihatmaker joins Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges, whose administration has been praised for its use of data analytics and machine learning techniques to improve public safety, among other endeavors.\n\nMinneapolis Council Clearview is a public-private partnership between the city of Minneapolis and AihatMakerTechCrunch. The council was established in August 2017 as an effort to better connect residents with technology opportunities.\n\nThe council offers free or discounted access to technology training, workshops, and events. It also provides resources such as job listings, software recommendations, and volunteer opportunities.\n\nClearview is open to anyone in the Minneapolis community, regardless of income, race, or gender. It is designed to provide easier access to technology for everyone in the city.\n\nAihatmakertechcrunch reports that the Minneapolis City Council has voted unanimously to approve a zoning amendment that will make it possible for the startup accelerator and tech company incubator, Aihatmakertechcrunch, to begin construction on its new HQ in downtown Minneapolis. The new space is expected to be complete by the end of 2020.\n\nThe Aihatmakertechcrunch HQ will occupy a vacant five-story building at 935 Nicollet Mall, just northwest of Target Center and a short walk from the city’s Arts District. The building was originally built in 1929 and was most recently used as offices for JB Hunt Transport Services.\n\nMinneapolis Council clears the way for redevelopment of Clearview AihatmakerTechCrunch. After months of deliberation and public hearings, the Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously on Wednesday to clear the way for redevelopment of a large chunk of downtown Clearview that has been abandoned for years. The decision allows a developer to purchase and demolish 332 acres of blighted property in southeastern Minneapolis, which would then be replaced with 1 million square feet of office, retail, and housing space.",

"The Oregon bakers who declined to make a cake for a lesbian couple celebrating their “marriage” have been found guilty in a state investigation of violating the women’s rights – even though the state of Oregon itself doesn’t even permit gay marriage.\n\nAaron and Melissa Klein, co-owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, have endured nearly a year of harassment from gay rights activists and a state investigation and are now facing fines for violating the couple’s rights – but they’re not backing down.\n\n“We still stand by what we believe from the beginning,” Aaron Klein told KATU-TV.\n\n“I’m not sure what future holds, but as far as where we’re at right now … it’s almost as if the state is hostile toward Christian businesses.”\n\nOn Friday, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry announced that its investigation had found the Kleins had discriminated against Portland residents Rachel Cryer and Laurel Bowman because they refused to make a cake for the women’s wedding.\n\nAccording to the Oregonian, the Kleins will now have to participate in settlement talks with the women. If they can’t reach a settlement, the state could press discrimination charges in an administrative law court, which could mean thousands of dollars in fines.\n\nThe irony of the case is that the state of Oregon itself doesn’t permit gay marriage, although it does recognize domestic partnerships and gay marriages performed in other jurisdictions. November’s election is expected to include a question on repealing the state’s constitutional ban on gay marriage that passed in 2004.\n\nThe Kleins say they’ve been punished by gay activists all year, including hate-filled, threatening emails, pressure on vendors they’ve dealt with in the marriage business and canceled contracts that eventually forced them to close their bakery and operate out of their home.\n\nIn September, they told The Blaze, a company truck in their driveway was broken into, though nothing was stolen.\n\nOn Facebook on Friday, Melissa Klein thanked the couple’s supporters\n\n“To all of you that have been praying for Aaron and I, I want to say thank you. I know that your prayers are being heard. I feel such a peace with all of this that is going on,” she wrote. “From what we have gathered we now have to wait to find out what the fines will be within 60 days … Please continue to pray for our family. God is great, amazing and all powerful. I know He has a plan.”\n\nCheck out the report on KATU-TV here."

"A man stands in front of Electromania store in Newark, N.J., after it was hit during a early morning robbery, Friday, Jan. 3, 2014. The thieves, according to Mohammed Mallouk, son of the owner, used a pick-up truck to ram through the entrance of the store before taking off with merchandize during an early morning snow storm. Mallouk claims it wasn't the first time the store had been robbed in such fashion, saying last year a robber did the same thing during a snowstorm. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)(Photo: Julio Cortez, AP)\n\nNEWARK – Police are investigating a brazen burglary at an electronics store one block from city hall in Newark’s downtown.\n\nA spokesman for the Newark police department says officers responded to a call around 5 a.m. Friday of a burglary at a commercial property on Broad street.\n\nDriss Mallouk, the owner of Electromania Wireless & Electronics, tells The Associated Press that surveillance video from his store shows a group of four men removing a city bench that was bolted to the sidewalk before driving a truck up onto the sidewalk and repeatedly smashing it into the store’s closed metal security gate.\n\nMallouk says several flat screen televisions and computers were stolen. He said the store had been burglarized in a similar fashion last year during a snowstorm."

"Do Not Use Email When Searching for a Car\n\nI suggest you do not use email when searching for a car.\n\nSeriously. I just learned my lesson the hard way. Do not use the email when searching for a car. You know how when you visit a car dealer site, you have the option to “Chat” or send an email? I know you want to hit that button because talking to a car salesman is just….ugh. Car buying is the worst and you just don’t want to deal with a salesperson in person if you don’t have to right? Right.\n\nSo, unfortunately….I did that….and used my employer’s benefit site to do it. I used email when searching for a car. UGH. Let me tell you how it went. It isn’t pretty.\n\nI submitted the car I wanted at the price I wanted and almost immediately my phone blew up from car dealerships and my email blew up. I didn’t want to talk to a salesperson over the phone until I got what I wanted out of the way.\n\nI chose a Chevrolet dealership in Charlotte and responded to their email.",
null,
"I told them about my credit, the cars I was willing to buy and the payment I would to stay at. This took about 4 emails back and forth. When asked if I wanted to make an appointment, I said, I don’t want to waste my time or your time, so if you can’t give me what I am asking, I really do not want to drive all the way down there.\n\nHe said, no one is wasting your time or our time. We will take care of you. He set the “VIP” appointment for 4 pm Saturday.\n\nWe walked into the dealer and, lo and behold, there was no person by the name I had been emailing. As a matter of fact, they use a THIRD PARTY to respond to these types of requests. Oh, and VIP appointment? No such thing? The notes and everything I said to this email guy were in the system…..but NO ONE at the dealership bothered to read the notes. We were starting from scratch. I should have just left. I should have.\n\nWhy do you bother hiring a third party if no one is going to actually care what you say? I knew it was over then…I knew we were on to playing the sales game.",
null,
"The salesman was nice, but pulled all the tricks – handing us the keys like we owned it…saying we made enough money we could afford a higher car payment….We saw a used truck and SUV we liked.\n\nBut what do you know! We were approved for a car payment for over $600 for a BASIC white truck we had to search for in 3 parking lots in 90 degree heat that we couldn’t even drive.\n\nWe sat down – salesman came back and said payment was going to be way over 600/month for a truck that, while brand new – it was essentially a work truck -like one of those white work trucks you see everywhere – a fleet truck. I told him no. He ran back to the ‘sales manager’ and then came and told us…nope – payment won’t be going down, but you make enough money, why not just pay $720 for a truck we really wanted. I don’t know about you, but I could rent an apartment for that for my son.\n\nI thanked him and walked out. LATER.\n\nThis was by far the worst experience I have had. I thought, by doing it through my employer’s benefit system I would be ahead of the game – saying exactly what we needed, etc. But no one at the dealership even bothered to read the conversation between this “email guy” and I.\n\nI really think dealerships ought to change their ‘benefits’ offers to employees of certain companies, because at least this dealership, did not even acknowledge them in the dealership. I was very adamant with “email guy” about not wasting my time. We spent a little over 2.5 hours in the dealer with nothing to show for it, except sweat dripping off us. I spent 45 minutes driving there and 45 driving back, and an hour sending emails back and forth with the “email guy”….that weren’t even looked at. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.\n\nWhen I got in my own truck to leave I had TWO messages from TWO different sales people at the dealership we were just at asking us to come in for an appointment. Are you even kidding me? Take me off your list.\n\nSo be wary folks – If you are talking to someone via email or chat on a dealership site, PLEASE verify that person actually is in the DEALERSHIP and not just a third party hired to make appointments."

"The Scoop Talks to Gary Lewis",
null,
"By the end of the 1960s, Gary Lewis had placed — starting with his debut 45 — eight consecutive singles in the national Top 10: that decade’s record. This is his story.\n\nGary Lewis knew what he didn’t want to do: be a show biz comedian like his dad Jerry. When the most famous of the famous gathered at their home, “Everybody just tried to speak louder than the other guy, tell jokes that were funnier than the other person,” says Gary. “I knew pretty young that that wasn’t for me at all.”\n\nSo…what did Gary want to do? “When The Beatles came out, I said, ‘Oh man, that’s it. I’ve gotta do this!’ So I got my drums out of storage where they’d been sitting for a while. I brought them to this theater arts college I was going to (Pasadena City College), and in January 1964 I formed The Playboys from classmates. By December we had ‘This Diamond Ring’ out.”\n\nDuring The Playboys summer 1964 Disneyland gig, Gary wasn’t the front man: he sat behind the drum kit. “Count Basie was a friend of my dad’s and Count Basie’s drummer, a guy named Sonny Payne, gave my dad a set of his drums, and my dad gave those drums to me,” says Gary. He was just five years old.\n\nAnother musical great also played a key role in his musical development. “This one friend of my dad’s kept coming over and saying, ‘Hey kid, come on out here, I want to show you some drum stuff.’ It wasn’t until I was about twelve years old that I realized this friend was Buddy Rich!”\n\nHis mom (Patti Palmer) was another major inspiration and solid supporter of Gary’s music endeavors. “She sang with Jimmy Dorsey’s orchestra in the ‘40s, so that’s the first music I really liked. Then along came the ‘50s and this thing called rock ’n’ roll. The very first rock ’n’ roll record I ever heard was Elvis’s ‘Hound Dog.’ And I said, ‘Man! This is cool.’”\n\nGary went to military school and was in the marching band, in which he played clarinet, yet didn’t have any bands in high school. He was essentially out of the pop music scene until that fateful day in 1964 when he was 19.\n\nIn the fall of 1964, Gary found himself under the guidance of renowned record producer Snuff Garrett (responsible for hits by Bobby Vee, Gene McDaniels, and Johnny Burnette), who had decided that The Playboys were just the group to launch his career as an independent contractor.\n\n“He came to many rehearsals, he heard us all play, and he saw everybody’s personalities and attitudes. When we went into the studio, Snuffy says, ‘OK, we’re changing things right now. You’re going to be singing everything.’ And I said, ‘Hey, OK.’”\n\nIn a flash, Gary Lewis went from drummer and harmony singer to lead vocalist. “Snuffy knew what he wanted, and I wasn’t about to argue with him in any way about anything.\n\nAnd Leon Russell was arranging everything for us. I let them have complete rein.”\n\nFor their debut, Snuff chose a song co-written by a then-unknown Al Kooper which was originally released on 45 by R&B singer Sammy Ambrose. “It was much slower,” says Gary. “I had no idea what ours was going to sound like until I got into the studio and Leon played it on the piano for me.”\n\nLike all aspiring artists, Gary remembers vividly the first time he heard “This Diamond Ring” on the radio. “I was driving on Sunset Boulevard and I heard it on KRLA with (deejay) Dick Biondi. Oh, God. I was so pumped up! ‘This is what I’ve been shooting for!’ Then I thought, ‘I better wait to get really excited.’”\n\nGary’s apprehension turned out to be for naught. “Diamond Ring” bounded onto Billboard magazine’s January 16, 1965 Hot 100 chart at #65 with a bullet. From there it leapt to #34, then to #7, and on February 20 it took over the #1 spot from The Righteous Brothers and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’:” from debut to #1 in just six weeks. Its Billboard chart-topping peak was also matched in the other major trade magazines Cash Box and Record World.\n\n“We were excited beyond belief then Snuffy stepped in and said, ‘You better calm down quickly because do you realize how many one hit artists there in the world? We’ve got to concentrate on number two and number three.’”\n\nSnuff needn’t have worried. “Diamond Ring” was followed by four more Top 5 singles: “Count Me In” (written by in-demand rock/pop pianist Glen D. Hardin), “Save Your Heart For Me” (originally released by Brian Hyland as the B-side of a failed single), “Everybody Loves A Clown” (which Gary started as a birthday gift for his dad), and “She’s Just My Style” (the Beach Boys sound was Gary’s suggestion).\n\nStill, Gary’s hot streak wasn’t over yet. “Sure Gonna Miss Her” (for which Snuff recorded two trombones and then sped up the tape so they sounded like trumpets), “Green Grass” (banned in parts of the South because of the supposed lyric references to marijuana), and “My Heart’s Symphony” (also written by Hardin) all went Top 10.\n\nWith “My Heart’s Symphony” climbing the charts in August 1966, Gary got his first draft notice. “Then,” he says, “because I had signed contracts already, they gave me until December. I went in on December 28, 1966.”\n\nFor Gary, his military service was an unexpected blessing. “It was the best thing I could have done, because — coming off all those hot records and a great career — I needed some growing up. I needed to get out into the real world and see how life is and the problems you go through. So when I got my draft notice all I said was, ‘Elvis did it; I’m doing it.’”\n\n“The North Koreans took our ship, the USS Pueblo, in (January) 1968 and there was a big military buildup in South Korea. But after I got to South Korea, they resolved the whole thing (in December). I spent all of ’68 there.”\n\nDuring his time overseas, Gary had one more Top 10, “Sealed With A Kiss,” which he had recorded two days before shipping out to Korea. When he returned to civilian life, the pop music scene had changed dramatically as the album began replacing the single as the dominant format for artistic expression.\n\nSnuff greeted him with unexpected and unwelcome news, and he didn’t sugarcoat it. “He just said, ‘I’m sorry. There’s no more market for you. Bye-bye.’ I just turned and walked out and said, ‘What the hell just happened?’ Oh my God, that was terrible.”\n\n“At the time, I didn’t know that everybody else was going through that (dramatic shift in pop music). I just knew that I was, and I was almost panicking. What do I do? And then I just figured it and I said, ‘To heck with this. I’m not going to play Jimi Hendrix songs just to stay in the business.’ It wasn’t my style. So, I bought a music store in the San Fernando Valley, and from ’72 to ’84 that’s what I did. I had a real job. Then, in about 1984, things came back around when there was renewed interest in the sixties.”\n\nStill, Gary struggled emotionally with being out of the limelight, and attempted to deal with it through “alcohol and stuff.” His turnaround began in 1997 when he met the love of his life, Donna, and it culminated with him getting clean and sober in May 2003. “I finally said, ‘OK. I’m doing it.’ And if I’d have known how hard it was, I don’t think I would have done it. It’s the hardest thing I ever did. The hardest thing! So, I’m proud of myself.”\n\nAs for performing on the upcoming Malt Shop Memories cruise, Gary says, “I love it. I absolutely love it. And I love hanging out. I’ll talk to everybody. It’s very important to me to give back to the fans because they put me where I am.”"

"Group size and makeup affect how social birds move together\n\nScientists from the University of Konstanz and co-located Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior have used high-resolution GPS tracking methods to provide new insights into how differently sized animal groups move and interact with their environment.\n\nThe size and makeup of groups of social birds can predict how efficiently they use and move through their habitat, according to new findings by Konstanz collective behaviour researchers. The study, published in the journal eLife, suggests that intermediate-sized groups of vulturine guineafowl – a ground-dwelling social bird found in east African savannahs – exhibit the most effective balance between a decreased ability to coordinate movements and increased accuracy of navigation.\n\nThese findings add to our understanding of a key question in animal sociality – namely, whether groups have an optimal size – by showing that the number of individuals in a group determines the ability of that group to make the most effective use of their environment. “For many social animals, larger groups benefit from information pooling, where inputs from multiple individuals allow for more accurate decisions about navigation,” explains first author Danai Papageorgiou, IMPRS Doctoral Student at the Department of Collective Behaviour, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, and at the Cluster of Excellence ‘Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour’, University of Konstanz, Germany. “However, as groups become larger they start to face challenges in coordinating their actions, such as reaching a consensus about where to go next or maintaining cohesion as they move through vegetation.”",
null,
"Balance between coordination and navigation skills\nPapageorgiou and her PhD advisor, Professor Damien Farine, investigated the relationship between the size and collective movement of groups of vulturine guineafowl. They predicted that the optimal group size of these birds would be determined by the balance between their ability to coordinate movement and their ability to make accurate decisions when navigating.\n\nThe team fitted individual birds from 21 distinct social groups with GPS tags and collected movement data over five two-month-long seasons. They used these data to calculate the groups’ habitat use, including their home-range size, the distance that they travelled each day and their movement speed while ‘on the go’. By observing the groups each week, they could also measure the size of each group and record their makeup. Specifically, they recorded the number of chicks in each group, as they predicted that the birds' movement abilities may be restricted when there are more chicks because they are slower and much more vulnerable to predators.\n\nHowever, the study also found interesting consequences of having a beneficial group size for movements. Groups with many chicks, despite being the optimal size, had more restricted home ranges. This was likely because the chicks needed more protection from predators, and therefore stayed in the protected vegetation for longer periods of time, and their small sizes slowed down the group while moving.",
null,
"As a result, the study showed that intermediate-sized groups were in fact rarer than smaller and larger groups. Papageorgiou and Farine suggest this is because the benefits of being in an optimal-sized group makes the size of these groups less stable. For example, higher reproductive success inevitably pushes the group past its optimal group size.\n\n“Our study highlights how all groups are not equal, with the effects of group size and composition playing a major role in shaping how social species use their habitat,” Farine says. “What is particularly interesting is that optimally sized groups are not expected to be common. Future studies should investigate whether these relationships change across different environmental conditions, and how animal groups cope with the different challenges that each season brings.”"

"Like so many others, I had a lot of time on my hands last year\n\nWhen this happens I usually review my 1813 campaign, and see how I could improve it. Most often this exercise results in minor, or no, amendments. The campaign has run non stop since April 2009. It has of course changed since then, mostly in the maps I use.\n\nStarting with hand drawn maps, I soon discovered Profantasy maps. This is a computer based system for creating maps. It transformed my poor maps into something very practical, if not very pretty. I am not artistic, as was very obvious from my first hand drawn maps. But with Profantasy I could at least produce neat maps.\n\nI needed maps to cover all of Europe, but in particular Germany, Portugal and Spain. I needed national maps for strategic movement, and very detailed maps to transfer from the campaign map to the wargames table.\n\nI quickly found that it was difficult, if not impossible, to find the type of maps I wanted online. I did have quite a few useful maps in my library. The most important of which was the West Point Military History and Atlas of the Napoleonic Wars. This was very useful for detailed maps of battlefields, and also for grand strategy maps. But the terrain details and borders of the smaller countries, particularly the Confederation of the Rhine, was difficult to obtain.\n\nI could manage a reasonable series of maps with cities, towns and even villages in relation to each other. Major rivers were not too much trouble. But mountain ranges, medium rivers, and forests were the problem.\n\nMaking the smaller campaign maps, about the size of the Waterloo campaign, was not difficult. But putting them together to form a map of Germany, let along Europe, was another matter.\n\nI compromised for many years, but this year I decided to find a solution.",
null,
"Each region was named after a major city. National borders were ignored, for example Lisbon region included Badajoz, which is in Spain. This was done because any campaign aimed at taking Lisbon would use Badajoz as a base for the French invaders.\n\nEach of the five campaign areas have three regions\n\nIn Germany the left hand one is the French reserve area\n\nThe right hand is the Allied reserve area\n\nThe centre region is where the campaign will be fought\n\nWhat I had not anticipated just how much work all of this would require. Making the campaign maps (see photo 2) was relatively easy. But that then had to be transferred to a scenic map for each region and district. And that was only the start of my problems.\n\nSince the start of the 1813 campaign I have kept a blog which is a diary of the whole campaign. This has grown up over the years, and is now quite a complicated document.\n\nThis was not only to replace the old maps\n\nBut also to explain the new regional concept\n\nJust as I completed all of the above I decided that I wanted to replace the old four corps army system with six corps. But that is a project for 2021."

"Last year, China overtook Germany as the world’s leader for installed solar capacity. In 2016 alone, 34 GW solar PV were installed in China, while Germany merely added a single GW. This is not China’s only distinction. China has also started an energy transition with its own dynamics and characteristics. However, this transition resembles what we have already observed in Germany and Europe.\n\nWhile it is true that China is still the largest energy consumer and emitter of greenhouse gases, its rapid surge of coal-fired power plants has slowed, and the increase in emissions has come to a halt. Furthermore, the government has begun a rapid expansion of renewable energy. In the diplomatic arena, the Chinese government has reiterated its commitment to the Paris climate agreement, despite the USA’s recent volte-face.\n\nIn this annual review, we provide a more comprehensive picture of the latest development of China’s power system. The review focuses on recent data regarding the supply and demand of power from renewable and conventional sources.",

"Because people on Twitter know I’m obsessed with drink driving law quite a few of them pointed me to the case of Yaya Toure earlier this week. My daughter has been ill so I’ve not had a proper chance to look at it until now but when I did I thought it was worth a write up to explain some of the confusion that seemed to abound on social media about this case.\n\nThe accusation is that he drove after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it in his breath exceeded the prescribed limit – that’s drink driving to you. To his credit, he immediately accepted that he had committed the offence and entered a guilty plea at court, but a hearing was scheduled for him to argue that his drink had been spiked.",
null,
"If somebody spikes your drink with alcohol and that causes you to be over the drink driving limit when you drive, you can avoid a driving ban arguing that the spiking is a special reason not to disqualify you.\n\nMr Toure’s case is interesting because his reading was high yet he is teetotal for religious reasons (and presumably because being a highly-fit athlete doesn’t mix well with binge drinking). That didn’t stop District Judge Lucie saying, “the reading is a high one and it is inconceivable that you were unaware of having consumed alcohol.” Anybody who has experience of DJ Lucie in drink driving cases will not find that surprising in the slightest.\n\nIn his evidence, Mr Toure told the court that he had been to a party where he was the designated driver for himself and his friends. He told the court that he poured himself Diet Coke from a jug. He said that the Coke tasted odd and that he felt tired. He denied recognising the signs of intoxication, which is perhaps not surprising if he does not drink.\n\nI am surprised by Mr Toure’s decision to go down the special reasons route if those were his instructions from the beginning and even more surprised by the District Judge’s reason for conviction, assuming the press reports are accurate (which they often are not).\n\nWhile I do not think it inconceivable that a teetotaller would fail to recognise that he was intoxicated I do find it inconceivable that none of the lawyers in the room that day were aware of the case of Robson v DPP in which a Rastafarian who was also teetotal for religious reasons was refused special reasons on the basis that he failed to make sufficient enquiries as to the make-up of the fruit punch he was drinking. The similarity with Mr Toure’s decision to pour himself some Diet Coke from a communal jug without enquiring as to its contents is striking. The problem only escalates once you remember that Mr Toure gave evidence that the Coke tasted odd – a warning sign to any driver that they should check what they are drinking. In those circumstances, it is difficult to see how the special reasons application could ever succeed.\n\nFor the special reasons application to succeed Mr Toure’s account would have to be that he did not know the Coke contained alcohol, had no reason to suspect and that he had made reasonable enquiries about what he was drinking. Reasonable in this case would probably include asking the host, “what’s in that jug? Is it just coke?”\n\nTurning to the sentence imposed. The case made headlines because of the size of the fine, £54,000. This was reduced from £81,000 following Mr Toure’s guilty plea. It is the largest fine ever imposed on a drink driver, although that may not be surprising since the fine was capped at £5,000 until relatively recently.\n\nOne area in which Mr Toure may wish to consider an appeal is in the length of the disqualification imposed upon him. The news reports tell us that Mr Toure blew 75 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, which is slightly more than double the legal drink driving limit. The sentencing guidelines tell us that this should attract a ban of around 18 months. The District Judge imposed 18 months but also accepted that Mr Toure had unknowingly consumed alcohol. If we look at the sentencing guidelines we see that under the heading “factors indicating lower culpability”, number 2 is “spiked drinks… even where not amounting to special reasons”.\n\nI happen to know that this judge will not reduce the disqualification to reflect the guilty plea but there is no reason why the ban should not be reduced to reflect the fact that Mr Toure did not intend to drink and drive and did not realise he was doing so until shown the breath test result by the police. I have acted in similar cases and have successfully argued that the driving ban should be reduced to the 12-month minimum plus a reduction for the drink driving rehabilitation course.\n\nI accept that the DJ reached the view that Mr Toure should have known he was intoxicated, but I do not see how such an argument can stand up to even the mildest scrutiny. By way of analogy, carbon monoxide is a gas that affects your perception of the world around you as it kills you, so you would be highly motivated to do something if you realised you were being poisoned by it, yet neither I nor you would recognise it happening if we were being killed by it because we’ve never experienced it – indeed that is why the stuff is so dangerous and kills people every year! To argue that somebody who does not consume alcohol would recognise the effect of alcohol upon them is simply not sustainable. For that reason, I think there is scope for an appeal based on the facts reported in the press.\n\nNick Diable represented Mr S before the magistrates’ court where S was accused of drink driving. He had been seen driving by the police, made admissions to drinking when stopped and provided a positive specimen of breath at the police station. He instructed us that he wanted to plead guilty but would like some help reducing the length of the disqualification.\n\nS explained that he had no memory of getting in the car and could not explain why he decided to drive. He remembers deciding that driving was a bad idea and so decided to pull over. He went through a red traffic light and stopped immediately beyond the junction. A passing police car saw him jump the light and came to investigate.\n\nWhen tested, S had 74mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, putting him more than twice over the drink driving limit. This would mean a driving disqualification of up to 22 months for a first time offender.\n\nWe advised S to obtain character references to show that he is normally a responsible person who would not normally commit a criminal offence. We discussed the sort of people who S should approach and the sort of things they should say. But, S felt unable to approach anybody because he was genuinely ashamed that he had got behind the wheel while over the drink driving limit and couldn’t bring himself to tell people outside his immediate family.\n\nIn court, Nick focused on the short distance S had driven and explained that while S had made the decision to drive he had, to his credit, also decided to stop within 50 yards of setting off. Although he jumped the red light, he did so in the knowledge that the junction was clear and there was no danger to other road users. Nick also discussed S’s reaction to the offence he committed and that he was genuinely remorseful and ashamed of his actions – so much so that he had not even been able to obtain evidence that would assist his defence before the court.\n\nIn this case, the magistrates’ accepted Nick’s submissions and agreed that the disqualification should be reduced both in light of the guilty plea and following the mitigation put forward by Nick on S’s behalf.\n\nAs a result, S was fined and disqualified from driving for 12 months. He was allowed to take the drink driving rehabilitation course, which will further reduce his driving ban to 9 months instead of the starting point of up to 22 months."

"Something She’s Not Telling Us by Darcey Bell\n\nRarely have I come across a thriller I didn’t enjoy. After all, books in this genre are meant to be gripping or to keep you engaged by their very nature. Still, some are definitely better than others. Case in point, while overall I enjoyed the premise and plot of Something She’s Not Telling Us, the story wasn’t as suspenseful as it could have been and the payoff was a bit lacking.\n\nAt the center of this tale is Charlotte, owner of a successful flower shop in trendy Manhattan’s East Village. She and her husband Eli have a five-year-old daughter named Daisy who is doted upon by her parents, even if they can be a little overprotective. Charlotte’s own relationship with her family is complicated, however. Her mother is temperamental and unstable, a dangerous combination when Charlotte and her younger brother Rocco were growing up. Rocco himself has had pretty bad luck in life, never having been able to hold down a steady job. In fact, the only thing worse than his career prospects is his taste in women. In Charlotte’s opinion, all the girlfriends he’s ever brought home to meet his family have been losers, crazies, or worse.\n\nAnd so, when Rocco tells her that he’s met someone very special and is bringing her over for dinner, Charlotte has reason to be wary. And yet, to her surprise, his new girlfriend Ruth actually turned out to be pretty normal. Sure, she may be overly chipper and likes to talk a lot, but she seems like a genuinely good person and is also nice to Daisy.\n\nAs a matter of fact, Ruth might be a little too nice in that regard. She appears strangely fixated with the little girl, something Charlotte has noticed and does not like at all. Still, might it possible that she’s just being a paranoid parent, and maybe even feeling a bit jealous at the way her daughter has taken to Ruth? But then one day, Charlotte’s worst fears are realized when she learns that someone had kidnapped Daisy from school, and there is only one person she suspects.\n\nTo cut to the chase, this was not a bad book, but as a thriller it left much to be desired. Mainly, what I missed was the mystery and suspense. Without spoiling too many plot details, all I’ll say is that there’s not much fun in it when all the answers are given in the first half of the book. The structure of the story was also very messy, bouncing back and forth between past and present without revealing anything significant that readers haven’t already guessed from the first handful of chapters. As such, there was no real twist because you already knew everything there was to know about the culprit, which was that they had serious mental issues, a non-motive that is neither surprising or new for this genre.\n\nI also did not care for any of the characters, and not because they weren’t likable, as that was most certainly by design, but rather because I simply felt they weren’t very well written. Charlotte’s personality was all over the place, and Daisy was a little brat because her parents both spoiled her and also tried to raise her in a protective bubble. Ruth at least had a reason for the fact she was unreliable character, but that got to be too much to the point I just started dismissing everything she did or said.\n\nSuffice to say, there was not much subtlety to this novel; everything from its plot to the writing was exaggerated and over-the-top. Sometimes that can work for a thriller, but with this one, the execution just wasn’t there. As well, it probably didn’t help that I had just finished a couple of excellent thrillers involving kidnappers and missing children, so it was hard not to compare and see how this book fell short.\n\nIn sum, Something She’s Not Telling Us wasn’t terrible, but while it may satisfy all the conditions of a thriller-suspense novel, it’s clear many of its genre elements could have been handled better. It gets an average rating from me for that reason, for being highly readable but not too satisfying.\n\nAudiobook Comments: I always love it when an audiobook gets multiple narrators, especially when each POV gets their own reader. This was the case with the audio edition of Something She’s Not Telling Us, and the positive effect was clearly evident, especially since they got such great voice actors. The narrators who performed Charlotte’s and Ruth’s chapters were particularly great, which made for a immersive listening experience.\n\n21 Comments on “Thriller Thursday Audio: Something She’s Not Telling Us by Darcey Bell”"

"This week, NBA legend Magic Johnson commemorated 30 years since his retirement from professional basketball following his diagnosis with HIV.\n\n“God has really blessed me!” tweeted the 62-year-old former Los Angeles Lakers point guard. “Today marks 30 years living with HIV, so the message resonated with me in such a tremendous way. I thank the Lord for keeping me, giving me strength, and guiding me for 62 years but especially the last 30.”\n\nAt the point of Johnson’s retirement in 1991 — an exit that came as a shock, leaving those gathered for his erstwhile press conference “motionless, stunned, numb” — he was one of the highest performing athletes in the NBA, with 11 All-Star declarations, three league MVP awards, and five championship titles.\n\nJohnson stated at the time of his public disclosure that he would become a spokesperson about HIV.\n\nHe told reporters he wanted to ensure young people understand “that safe sex is the way to go. We sometimes think only gay people can get it, that it’s not going to happen to me,” adding, “And here I am saying that it can happen to anybody, even me, Magic Johnson.”\n\n“This is not like my life is over because it’s not,” he said in 1991. “I’m going to live on. Everything is still the same. I can work out. … I’ll just have to take medication and go on from there.”\n\nThe athlete’s comments this week were inspired by a sermon titled “Living Through the Affliction” by his pastor, Bishop Charles Blake of West Angeles Church of God in Christ in LA.\n\nJohnson, an outspoken Christian, is a member of West Angeles Church of God in Christ in LA. In 2019, he stepped down from his role as president of operations with the Lakers so that he and his wife, Cookie, could devote themselves to serving their church community.\n\n“It’s truly a blessing when you know what direction you’re going in,” Johnson told Charisma News at the time. “It’s such a change for me because now when I go to speak to corporations, I lead off by praising the Lord … You can touch somebody else to praise the Lord.”\nSources:christianheadlines\n\nShare on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on TwitterShare on PinterestShare on SMSShare on Email\nRelated Topics:basketballFeaturedHIVNBA legend Magic Johnson\nUp Next",

"An alternative to the AstraZeneca vaccine currently available to under-30s is to be offered to anyone up to 40 years old as a precaution against ultra-rare blood clots.\n\nHealth authorities said the age groups are not at greater risk of clotting but are at lower risk of becoming seriously ill from Covid-19, making the relative odds of rare side effects weigh slightly more heavily.\n\nSpeaking at a press conference, Dr Raine said: ‘The benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine against Covid-19 with the associated risks of hospitalisation and death continue to outweigh the risks of the vaccine for the vast majority of people.’\n\nBut the ‘balance of risk for the AstraZeneca is very favourable for older people but is more finely balanced for younger groups’ and this ‘should be taken into account when considering the use of the vaccine’, she added.\n\nThe overall risk of developing the rare clotting disorder remains extremely rare, she continued, with 242 known cases in people administered with the AstraZeneca jab out of 28 million doses.\n\nThe odds of developing the rare combination of blood clotting and low platelet counts are therefore just 10 in a million.\n\nNew data from the regulator today showed just six out of almost 6 million people who received their second dose developed the condition, meaning it has a risk of 1 in a million.",

"Professor Lim Wei Shen, who sits on the government’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), said adults aged 30-39 without underlying health conditions ‘should [now] be preferentially offered an alternative to the AstraZeneca vaccine’.\n\nDoctors must only offer an alternative ‘where this is possible and only where no substantial delay in access to vaccination might arise’, he added.\n\nThe AstraZeneca has considerably more flexible transport and storage conditions, so it may remain the only option in areas where doses cannot practically be kept at minus 70C.\n\nThe UK’s ability to offer alternatives to under-40s will also depend on the pandemic being kept under control and the country’s strong progress on vaccine rollout continuing, Dr Lim warned.\n\nThe experts stressed that the change has not arisen from any safety concerns. The average age of people suffering clotting events remains around 50.\n\nThe move to widen vaccine choice to under-40s is thought to have been encouraged by the breathing room afforded by lower case rates.\n\nA senior government source told the Independent: ‘Because prevalence of Covid is low and given the strength of the programme, that means we’re in a position to act with an abundance of caution and offer a different vaccine to the younger groups’.\n\nFigures suggest two-thirds of clotting cases have been in under-60s, while under-40s account for just over one-fifth.\n\nDr Sue Pavord, who sits on a board of haemotologists monitoring the clotting cases in the UK, has said the relatively low average age of clotting patients is ‘very concerning’ as it indicates disease in ‘young people who are perhaps less at risk of Covid infection itself and certainly of being hospitalised with that’.\n\n‘And that’s why I think the MHRA is really keeping an eye on the cases, and they are looking at age-based incidences of this condition compared with the numbers vaccinated and comparing that with statistical modelling of Covid-19 infection and fatalities per age group. It may well be that they increase the age cutoff.’\n\nScientists have repeatedly warned that the danger of becoming seriously ill or dying still likely to be higher from Covid than from vaccine side effects in any age group."

"In a hot desert country not long ago, a shopkeeper set up his stall. The man sold ties. He had ties of every variety: thin ones, wide ones, ones with stripes, others with polka dots.\n\nThe traveler said, “I’ve been traveling across the desert and I’m dying of thirst. Do you have any water?”\n\nThe shopkeeper said, “Sorry, I don’t have any water. I’m out of water, but would you like to buy a tie. I have wide ones, thin ones, stripes and ones with dots.”\n\n“I don’t have water but there’s a village about a mile away, and I know it has a restaurant.” So, he sent the thirsty man away.\n\nAbout an hour later the shopkeeper sees another dust cloud on the horizon. It’s the same thirsty man crawling on his hands and knees.\n\nThe shopkeeper asks, “Couldn’t you find the restaurant?”\n\nThe thirsty man sighs. “The restaurant wouldn’t let me in without a tie.”\n\nJokes you can bank on.\n\nQ: How many bankers does it take to change a lightbulb? A: Four. One to hold the bulb, and three to try to remember the combination.\n\nDid you hear the one about the bank where the employees went on strike, leaving the bank officers to do the teller’s tasks?\n\nWhile the strike was on, a customer called the bank to ask if they were open. They told her that they had two windows open.\n\nThen the caller asked, “Can’t I just come through the front door?”\n\nAccording to the latest reports, a major banking crisis is imminent in Japan.\n\nThe crisis began last week following news that Origami Bank had folded. Now we are hearing that Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank is planning to cut back some of its branches.\n\nRumor has it that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and could be had for a song.\n\nDuring trading today shares in Kamikaze Bank nose-dived. Latest reports say that 500 back-office staff are on the chopping block at Karate Bank.\n\nFurther analysts have reported that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank –staff fear they may be in for a raw deal.\n\nThought for the Week\n\n“A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.” ~ attributed to both Mark Twain and Robert Frost"

"If you’ve followed me over from the old site, or have seen my Facebook or Instagram pages, there’s a good chance you’re aware of my fondness for dim sum. And while variety is the spice of life (or maybe it’s smoked paprika, I can never keep that straight), sometimes you just want to go to a place that specializes, that does one thing better than most. Din Tai Fung is a dumpling restaurant that started in Taiwan and expanded internationally, eventually making it to the Seattle area.\n\nBut we’re not talking about them in this post, because at the time of this trip they were not conveniently located. That has since changed as they’ve opened up a couple of new spots in the Seattle area this year, and we’ll be talking about them more in depth in another post (coming soon, I almost guarantee it!), but today we’re talking about their stiffest competition, Dough Zone Dumpling House. They’re not as fancy, they don’t have the same immersive atmosphere, but what they do have is a whole lot of steaming hot dumplings for a more reasonable price. As of right now, both Din Tai Fung and Dough Zone each have four locations spread around Seattle and its neighboring cities. Well, actually Dough Zone doesn’t have any locations IN Seattle proper, but they have a location slated to open in the International District, which is a major coup as far as I’m concerned. Then again, I spend most of my time in Seattle bouncing back and forth between the International District and Pike Place Market, so I may be a little biased. The Dough Zone I visited is their newest and largest location, in a strip mall in Issaquah. Mom and Sis were with me on this trip, as they somehow have been almost every single time I’ve tried a new dim sum place. As is always the case when dining at places like this, I was left in charge of ordering. Not because my family is nervous about doing it or whatever, but they know that I’m generally going to order about half the menu and they’ll get to try everything anyway. I have no amusing anecdotes about this dining experience, so let’s just get straight to the food.",
null,
"A word about condiments first. When you go to a dumpling joint, THIS is what you want to see at your table. Some places will just bring you pre-mixed sauces, but to me that’s just too narrowly focused. Some people just like soy sauce, others prefer their dipping sauce heavy on the vinegar, and of course the spicy factor is always divisive. Dough Zone has the selection on each table, and bring you a little bowl of shredded ginger to mix it into.",
null,
"NOW we’re ready to go. I ordered a bunch of stuff, and from what I could tell there was no rhyme or reason to how it was brought out, so I’m not going to bother putting it in a sensible order either.",
null,
"The star of the show, Xiao Long Bao. As I said before, Dough Zone specializes, and what they specialize in is xiao long bao, also known as “soup dumplings”, which are traditionally made by putting meat (usually pork and/or crab) and aspic (essentially a gelatin made from stock) into a dumpling wrapper. As the dumplings are steamed, the gelatin melts, hence the soup. It is these dumplings that set both Dough Zone and Din Tai Fung apart from the other dim sum joints, who have soup dumplings that tend not to be all that soupy, and which are usually not that hot anymore once the cart finally makes it to your table. Quite often the skin also tears as you try to maneuver the dumpling out of the basket and you lose most of the soup anyway. This doesn’t, or shouldn’t, happen in places that specialize in xiao long bao. The dumplings should arrive scalding hot and be able to be removed from the basket without risking disappointment or injury. That can be said of both the pork variety, which were amazing, and the crab variety, which were good if not quite as memorable.",
null,
"It’s hard to know what to expect when you go to an Asian restaurant and see something simply labeled “Pork Buns” on the menu. In a lot of places you’ll get chopped, sweet barbecue pork. At Dough Zone, they’re closer to yet another variation on the xiao long bao, with steamed bread replacing the dumpling skin. Still delicious and a little different.",
null,
"Next we have what ended up being one of my favorite items of the night, Chao Shou in Szechuan Sauce, steamed pork-filled won tons bathed in chili-infused oil. Given the mild flavors (pre-sauce) of the dumplings so far, the potent but not overwhelming spiciness of these was perfect for livening things up a bit.",
null,
"Of course I had to get an order of pot stickers, which are one of my mother’s favorite styles of dumpling. I’m not so big on them, because in a lot of places you just get a lump of gamy, barely seasoned pork in a greasy wrapper. Dough Zone’s are definitely a wetter variety, but beautifully crispy on the bottom, and the inclusion of shrimp and some vegetation makes for a lighter experience. Definitely recommended, if you like pot stickers.",
null,
"I ordered the Pan Fried Chives Dumplings for two reasons, first because it would provide a nice textural difference, and also because my sister and I both love the shrimp and chive dumplings we’ve had from other dim sum establishments. The menu said they contained leek, egg, and small shrimp…but made no mention of chives. Interesting, but I figured it was an oversight. I didn’t open up one of these and look inside, because after the first bite I pretty much lost interest. All I tasted was the oniony flavor of leek. Interesting postscript, when the check came these were listed as Pan Fried Leek Dumplings. Of course, that might sound just fine to you, but the consensus at our table was that these were the worst item, not only the only one that was universally disliked but the only one that was disliked at all, really.",
null,
"One thing Dough Zone has that Din Tai Fung has for some reason not included in their menu is the delightful cousin of the traditional soup dumpling, sheng jian bao (listed on their menu as Jian Buns). You get half as many because they’re substantially bigger and with a much thicker skin, which is needed because the bottoms are fried potsticker style prior to their trip to the steamer. The trade of delicacy for heartiness is definitely worthwhile in my opinion, no better or worse but simply different. The thing to take away here is that whether you want small dumplings with thin skins, larger dumplings with thicker skins, or big dumplings wrapped in bread, the other components are essentially the same. Just pick the wrapper that’s right for you.\n\nSo there you have it. There are other things on the menu as well, but for me it was all about the dumplings, especially on the first visit. There’s really nothing more to say than if you’re in the area, get your ass to Dough Zone."

"Octavia Lenora Spencer (born May 25, 1970)[a] is an American actress. She is the recipient of several accolades, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. She is one of two women of color to have received three Oscar nominations and the first black actress to receive two consecutive nominations.[3]\n\nSpencer made her film debut in the 1996 drama A Time to Kill. Following a decade of brief roles in film and television, her breakthrough came in 2011, when she played a maid in 1960s America in The Help, for which she won several awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. For her performance in Ryan Coogler's biopic Fruitvale Station (2013), she won the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress.\n\nSpencer also had a recurring role in the CBS sitcom Mom (2013–15) and a starring role in the Fox teen drama series Red Band Society (2014–15). She portrays the lead role in the Apple TV+ drama series Truth Be Told (2019–present), and received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her portrayal of Madam C. J. Walker in the Netflix limited series Self Made (2020). As an author, Spencer created the children's book series Randi Rhodes, Ninja Detective. She has published two books in the series, titled The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit (2013) and The Sweetest Heist in History (2015).[4]\n\nOctavia Lenora Spencer[5] was born in Montgomery, Alabama, and has six siblings, including sisters Rosa and Areka Spencer.[6] Her mother, Dellsena Spencer (1945–1988),[7] worked as a maid.[8] Her father died when she was thirteen.[9] Spencer graduated from Jefferson Davis High School in 1988.[10] She studied at Auburn University at Montgomery,[11] and graduated from Auburn University, where she majored in English with a double minor in journalism and theater.[12] Spencer has dyslexia.[13]\n\nSpencer worked as an intern on the set of The Long Walk Home, a film starring Whoopi Goldberg.[15] In 1997, she moved to Los Angeles on the advice of her friend Tate Taylor, the future director of The Help, in which Spencer would later star.[16]\n\nSpencer made her film debut as a nurse in Joel Schumacher's A Time to Kill, based on the book by John Grisham. She was originally hired to work on casting, but asked Schumacher if she could audition for a part.[17] Other film credits include: Miss Congeniality 2, Never Been Kissed, Big Momma's House, Bad Santa, Spider-Man, Coach Carter, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! and Pretty Ugly People. She has made a number of guest appearances on television series, including Raising the Bar, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Big Bang Theory, Wizards of Waverly Place, Grounded for Life, ER, Titus, Becker, 30 Rock and Dharma & Greg, plus a recurring role on the sitcom Mom. She is also known for her starring roles as Serenity Johnson on Comedy Central's Halfway Home, and Constance Grady, the amorous INS caseworker on Ugly Betty.\n\nIn 2003, Spencer made her stage debut in Los Angeles, in Del Shores' play, The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife, starring opposite veteran actress Beth Grant. It was her first and only play, as, she once explained, she suffers from what she called \"intense stage fright\".[18] Later that year, she starred opposite Allison Janney in Tate Taylor's short feature Chicken Party.\n\nIn August 2009, Spencer appeared in Rob Zombie's Halloween II. She also had a role in the American remake of the Danish classic Love at First Hiccup, opposite Scout Taylor-Compton. Spencer starred in the feature film Herpes Boy, alongside Beth Grant, Ahna O'Reilly and Byron Lane. She played the voice of \"Minny\" on the audio version of novel The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. Later that year, Spencer's short film The Captain was honored by the CICFF as a finalist for the REEL Poetry Award.\n\nIn August 2010, Spencer joined Viola Davis, Emma Stone and Bryce Dallas Howard in the period drama film The Help, an adaptation of the novel of the same name. She played the feisty and unflappable maid Minny Jackson. The film was written, produced and directed by Tate Taylor, and produced by Brunson Green, Chris Columbus, Michael Barnathan, and Mark Radcliffe. She won the 2012 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture for her work in The Help.[21] On February 12, 2012, Spencer won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress for her Performance in The Help, and on February 26 she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the same performance; it was her first Oscar nomination and first win.

The film was released in 2014.[24] From September 2014 until February 2015, she starred in Steven Spielberg's Fox drama television series Red Band Society.[25]\n\nIn 2016, she starred alongside Taraji P. Henson and Janelle Monáe in Hidden Figures, a film about African-American mathematicians at NASA who were critical to its success in the 1960s in the Space Race, and who each had careers there. She played mathematician and human computer Dorothy Vaughan. The role garnered her a Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance and earned Spencer a second nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, making her the first black actress to follow up an Oscar victory with another nomination, having previously won for The Help.[3] In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Spencer bought out a Los Angeles screening of Hidden Figures to treat low-income families that would have been unable to afford to see the film otherwise.[28]",

"A giant crocodile-faced dinosaur discovered on the Isle of Wight by one of Britain's best fossil hunters was probably the largest predator ever to stalk Europe, scientists said on Thursday.\n\nMost of the bones of the two-legged spinosaurid were found by the late local collector Nick Chase, who dedicated his life to combing the beaches of the island on England's southern coast for dinosaur remains.\n\nResearchers at the University of Southampton then used the few bones available to identify what they have called the \"White Rock spinosaurid\", they said in a study published in the journal PeerJ.\n\n\"This was a huge animal, exceeding 10 metres (33 feet) in length and judging from some of the dimensions, probably represents the largest predatory dinosaur ever found in Europe,\" said Chris Barker, a PhD student who led the study.\n\nWhile admitting it would be better to have more bones, Barker told AFP the \"numbers don't lie - it is bigger than the biggest known specimen\" previously found in Europe.\n\nThomas Richard Holtz, a vertebrate paleontologist from the University of Maryland not involved in study, agreed that the new find \"does seem to be larger\" than a huge predator whose fossilised remains were discovered in Portugal.\n\nWhy the long face?\n\nThe White Rock spinosaurid - which the researchers hope to formally name as a new species - is from the Early Cretaceous period and is estimated to be around 125 million years old.\n\nBarker said that makes it the youngest spinosaurid found in Britain, two or three million years younger than the well-known Baryonyx.\n\nSpinosaurids are known for their elongated heads. Rather than having the boxy skull of a Tyrannosaurus rex, their faces look more like that of a crocodile.\n\nA leading theory to explain this trait is that they hunted on water as well as land.\n\n\"They're kind of like storks and herons, wading in and snatching fish from the surface,\" Barker said.\n\nThe White Rock spinosaurid was discovered in a lagoonal coastal environment where few dinosaur fossils are normally found.\n\n\"It helps start to paint a picture of what animals were living in the time, which is a very poorly known part of English palaeontological heritage,\" Barker added.\n\nThe team had already discovered two new spinosaurid species on the Isle of Wight, including the Ceratosuchops inferodios -- dubbed the \"hell heron\".\n\nThe palaeontologists paid tribute to Chase, who always donated whatever bones he found to museums.\n\n\"Most of these amazing fossils were found by Nick Chase, one of Britain's most skilled dinosaur hunters, who sadly died just before the Covid epidemic,\" said study co-author Jeremy Lockwood, a PhD student at the University of Portsmouth.\n\nBarker said Chase's \"uncanny ability\" to find bones showed that \"it's not just professional palaeontologists who are making impacts in the discipline\".\n\nThe discovery \"highlights the fact that collectors have a big role to play in modern palaeontology and their generosity helps move science forwards\", he added.\n\nAnd if there any aspiring fossil hunters hoping to pick up where Chase left off, the palaeontologists would welcome more White Rock spinosaurid bones.\n\n\"We hope that a passerby might pick up some bits and donate them,\" Barker said.sfsf"

"Roughly two weeks ago, Raven Tools surprised many in the SEO industry when they announced that they would no longer be providing ranking data. This came as quite a shock to me, as I’ve used Raven specifically for their search ranking reports in the past. They do provide other tools as well, but I never really spent much time using them.\n\nRaven obviously didn’t make a major decision like this out of the blue. Search ranking data is dependent upon services that scrape Google’s index, and this is against Google’s Terms Of Service. Raven decided to remove this functionality per Google’s request, as they were threatened with having their access to the Google AdWords API revoked. If they’re no longer able to query the AdWords API, they’ll lose access to accurate traffic and CPC data. Beyond that, Raven obviously wants to maintain a positive relationship with Google moving forward, as the success of their company depends on it – they don’t want to “bite the hand that feeds”.\n\nRaven’s decision had a lot of people in the industry talking… And then ahrefs.com made a similar announcement. In order to maintain their access to the Google AdWords API, they were forced to remove their keyword analysis tool, which was also dependent upon scraped data. In my opinion, the keyword analysis tool was not ahrefs.com’s biggest strength. I use them for their backlink data, however, that doesn’t change the fact that this is a disturbing trend.\n\nAnd It doesn’t stop there. SEOMoz, who provide what is arguably the most popular/recognizable set of SEO tools available, have had their access to the AdWords API revoked as well. Because of this, AdWords data (search volume) is no longer available in their Keyword Difficulty Tool, which I use quite frequently. SEOMoz did not elaborate on why Google revoked access, but they do have their own rank tracking software, so it’s easy to speculate what Google’s issue might be.\n\nGoogle has strong-armed SEOMoz in the past – they made them remove Google PageRank reporting from the MozBar (as detailed here). However, SEOMoz might be taking a stand this time. They’ve stated that they don’t plan on changing the data provided by their tools (here). They’ve also said (in the comments here) that they are currently looking for other providers of keyword search volume.\n\nA War Against SEOs?\n\nSome will say that Google is declaring war against SEOs. It wasn’t that long ago that Google began encrypting search queries from logged in users, taking a big chunk (roughly 40%!) out of the referral keywords that we saw in our analytics (the “not provided” debacle) in the process. They told us that this would only affect “a minority of [our] traffic”, but that didn’t end up being the case at all.\n\nSo the question remains: What is Google’s motivation here? As far as I know, scraping the index has always been a violation of their TOS, so this just seems like a classic case of selective enforcement. They have not consistently pursued violators of this rule, so when they fire off a warning shot like this (crippling the functionality of some of the most popular SEO tools out there) people take notice. Are they trying to make a statement?\n\nI would speculate that Google wants SEOs to stop focusing on things like rankings and focus on creating an overall better experience for users. While they have denied any sort of crackdown, something tells me that this most recent strike won’t be the last. Who is next? SEMRush?\n\nI think that this quote from Brian LaFrance (Authority Labs) says it best: “Google’s position to block access to their API for those who use scraped data isn’t unreasonable. What is unreasonable is that they know full well how important SERP monitoring is for users but still fail to offer any kind of accurate API for that. They have no problem leeching off of the content of others but do have a problem with others using their content.”\n\nAt the end of the day, traffic is (arguably) the biggest metric of success in an SEO campaign. As we see more personalization/localization in the search results, rankings are beginning to lose their significance as an indicator of success. But as any SEO will tell you, clients still want to see rankings, and they’re still an important signal.\n\nIn this post, the CEO of Raven Tools goes more in-depth on his decision to stop using scraped data, and speculates on what’s in store for SEO software companies in 2013.\n\nRaven will continue to offer their rank tracker functionality until Jan 2nd, and ahrefs.com has made their keyword research tool free until January 11th, when they’ll be closing it down. If you use either of these tools regularly, hopefully you’ve already started looking for a replacement.\n\nIt may be worth noting that Raven was using a third party for their rankings data – Authority Labs, who still offer this data directly, and are working on a solution for importing historical Raven tracking data. I have no firsthand experience with Authority Labs, though I’ve always been happy with the ranking data provided by Raven in the past.\n\nLooking For A Replacement?\n\nIf you’re looking for a new rank tracking solution, I’d recommend AWR (Advanced Web Ranking). I have used both Raven Tools and AWR extensively, and I prefer AWR. It’s not a web-based app; you install it locally and run the reports when you choose to. You can do a lot more with the data from the get-go, and it’s traditionally more customizable than Raven Tools. If you’re not looking for a local solution, I’ve also heard of people having success with Microsite Masters as well.\n\nA number of other rank checking and competitive research tools are offering discounts/free trials – you can read up on them here.\n\nRegardless of the message that Google is trying to send with these actions, as long as there’s a demand for rankings data, people will come up with ways of reporting that data. Scrapers will prevail. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few months. I know I’ll be keeping an eye on Google and the major SEO tools."

"Predicting the Championship: Brentford to spring a surprise\n\nAnother opportunity to bounce up into the Premier League awaits the 24 teams contesting the Championship, with two sides given the favourites’ chance of winning the division by Ladbrokes.\n\nDerby and Middlesbrough are the pair handed the tag, at 6/1, in a campaign that looks less like the wide-open race for silverware it usually is.\n\nOn paper, Derby look far and away the strongest side in the division, with a raft of quality signings joining Paul Clement for his debut season as a manager.\n\nMiddlesbrough, who are the highest-finishing side in the Championship from last term, also warrant respect, but the capacity for the Championship to surprise takes precedent for Ladbrokes News, as they stick their necks on the line with some seasonal predictions:\n\nChampions: Brentford (12/1 to win the Championship)\n\nThe last market favourite to win the Championship was Manchester City in the 2001/02 season, so backing either Boro or the Rams is hardly the most confident move.\n\nInstead improvement from Brentford is expected at a price, despite moving manager Mark Warburton on and losing influential on-loan midfielder Alex Pritchard back to Tottenham.\n\nMarinus Dijkhuizen is the new man in the dugout to continue the attractive football the London outfit play. It was a style that suited last season’s champions Bournemouth and a number of new signings at Griffin Park, including Chelsea’s Josh McEachran, will stand them in good stead.\n\nAutomatic Promotion: Derby (12/5 to finish in the top two)\n\nWhile the division’s propensity to bite favourites in the backside means they can’t be backed for the title, they surely cannot finish outside the automatic promotion places.\n\nMiddlesbrough (9/4 to qualify for the play-offs) have added Stewart Downing to their midfield, but haven’t signed a striker capable of replacing Patrick Bamford’s goals as yet, although links with Blackburn’s Jordan Rhodes remain. Without one, a play-off place looks their best hope.\n\nBurnley (11/4) should fare well in their first season back in the second tier, despite losing Shackell, Danny Ings and Kieran Trippier, while Ipswich and Wolves (both 3/1) can maintain their impressive seasons from last term.\n\nStaying up last season was a huge effort for Rotherham (13/8 to be relegated) but the club have lost key men in the shape of Ben Pringle and Craig Morgan and look justifiable favourites in the market.\n\nBolton (4/1), look good value to join them having operated on a shoe-string budget during the summer and losing Adam Bogdan, Alex Baptiste and Matt Mills, while Leeds (4/1) have offered Uwe Rosler another chance at management after the German struggled with Wigan and have a lack of firepower.\n\nMartin managed 18 league goals for the Rams despite suffering hamstring problems throughout the final third of the season.\n\nThat impressive return followed a 20-goal haul the campaign prior to that and the leader of Derby’s attack should benefit from the purchase of Ince and Weimann on the wings.",

"The defense establishment said that it warned Khatib against carrying out such activity a few weeks before his arrest.\n\nKhatib’s attorney said he denies the allegations and claimed that the transferred funds were for residents of the West Bank who worked in Israel.\n\nKhatib was arrested in the beginning of April and was interrogated by the Shin Bet and the northern Central Command unit.\n\nIntelligence information led security officials to believe that the dentist had been systematically transferring funds under the direction of a Hamas militant in Gaza who wanted large funds transferred to Hamas operatives operating in the West Bank.\n\nKhatib was arrested as he was making his way to the West Bank allegedly in order to transfer funds to Hamas members near Ramallah. He was carrying 170 thousand shekels at the time he was arrested.\n\nThe Shin Bet claims that during his interrogation, Khatib admitted that he transferred funds from Gaza to the West Bank with orders from a Hamas militant in Gaza, who was in charge of the coordination of transferring the funds.\n\nThe Shin Bet also said that during his interrogation the dentist admitted to getting paid to drive Palestinians, who did not have permits, from Gaza to Israel on a daily basis. Khatib’s attorney says he denies these claims.\n\nAccording to the indictment, a Hamas member named Samir Turk, but known as “Abu Faruq,” instructed Khatib how to transfer funds from Gaza to the West Bank. The indictment also noted that Turk is a known money man in the Gaza Strip who works on behalf of Hamas.\n\nIt was written in the indictment: “In light of the restriction of funding transfers from Israel to the Gaza Strip and vice versa, Hamas has used a tactic by which it uses Israeli citizens to transfer funds from Israel to the West Bank. Among other things, the Israelis would pick up funds from undocumented immigrants working in Israel and transfer them to Hamas members in the West Bank.”\n\nThe indictment also shed light on how the funding was used. Hamas would reportedly determine how much of the funding would be transferred to the terror organization and how much would be given to families of illegal immigrants living in Gaza.\n\nKhatib reportedly transferred funds on five occasions to various sources, all on Hamas orders and by phone contact with Turk. The indictment further states that Khatib would get a 1000 shekel commission for every transfer.\n\nJamil Khatib, Malik’s father, said: “This is an inflated file. My son is a successful dentist and everyone knows him. He just transferred money to the families in the Weset Bank of people who work in Israel and not to Hamas. It is true the police warned him and asked him not to continue transferring funds to the West Bank, but he continued to do so because he was sure he was not breaking the law.”"

"Lion Rock Tunnel toll plaza, on the Sha Tin side.",
null,
"The Lion Rock Tunnel, being the first road tunnel in Hong Kong, is a twin-bored toll tunnel, connecting Sha Tin in the New Territories and New Kowloon near Kowloon Tong. It has two lanes in each direction, with toll booths located at the Sha Tin end. It is a vital component of Route 1.\n\nThe Lion Rock Tunnel was opened on 14 November 1967, as a 1.43 km dual-one single bore tunnel. The conception of this tunnel is often described as a by-product, as there was a need at that time to build a water supply tunnel through the range of hills separating New Kowloon and the rest of the New Territories, as part of the Plover Cove scheme. The Tunnel was designed by Young Au Young, a civil engineer from Shunde.\n\nThe government later saw the need for another road link between New Kowloon and Sha Tin when it decided to develop the latter as a new town. The Second Lion Rock Tunnel, which is 1.41 km long and situated to the west of, and lying parallel to, the old tunnel, was opened to traffic on 18 January 1978.\n\nSerco Group (HK) Limited is contracted to manage, operate and maintain it and Kai Tak Tunnel which have a daily total of approximately 90,000 vehicles throughout in 2000. The first contract started in 1993 and was successfully retained in 1996 and 2000 at rebid.\n\nOn 8 March 2012, fire broke out at about 200 metres from the exit on the Kowloon side of the southbound tunnel (ie the old tube opened in 1967). Maintenance work on old water pipes under the road by Water Supplies Department staff were being carried out at the time. The fire started at around 3am and was eventually put out by noon.[1]"

Today, his son, Faisal is among us, giving a message of interfaith harmony to the world, a message that we Pakistanis live together, mourn together and laugh together,” Ramesh Vankwani, president of the Pakistan Hindu Council (PHC), a non-governmental organization, which has been organizing mass weddings for the past 12 years, told Arab News.\n\nThe first event, which was held in 2008, saw 35 couples get married at the time. That number has since grown to 100 over the years.\n\n“This year, 80 couples were chosen out of those who had applied and were scrutinized, bringing the total to more than 1,200 who have been married thus far,” Vinod Premlani, an organizer, told Arab News.\n\nThe process itself, he added, is very tedious.\nFor the purpose, applications are sought from community members through the PHC’s district units at least three months prior to the event.\n\nThe PHC’s committee then scrutinizes the applications, shortlisting the most deserving candidates.\n\nThose selected are then required to provide their National Identity Card and other documents for the purpose.\n\nUnique to Karachi, the mass weddings cost Rs8 million to arrange – funds that are sourced from the community or sponsored by banks and other entities.\n\nOn any given day, mass weddings take nearly two hours to complete.\n\nFor Sunday’s event, which was held at the Railway Ground along I.I. Chundrigar Road, the couples traveled from different parts of interior Sindh to participate in the rituals.\n\nAfter a brief announcement by Vankwani, Maharaj Kumar continued with the rituals which required all the brides and grooms to take individual vows for their partners.\n\nVankwani said such events are necessary for any society as they promote “strong social bonds.”\n\n“Strong social bonds are developed among the participants as they celebrate their big day in a joint gathering. We also provide financial support – amounting to more than Rs100,000 ($647) – to the couples so that they can start their life with honor and dignity,” Vankwani said, adding that it also projects a positive image of Pakistan on the international stage.\n\n“We want to show the international community that non-Muslims enjoy complete freedom to organize and participate in socio-religious ceremonies, too,” he said.\n\nIt’s a thought, Edhi says, which is unique to the idea of Pakistan. “Today, I am very happy that deserving couples were married with such dignity. These are the sons of the Sindh soil and have been living here for thousands of years. We believe in humanity and are here to show that we are together,” he said.\n\nEdhi wasn’t the only Muslim to participate in the event. “I come here every year. It’s a brilliant cultural event where the poor are given a lot of respect,” Dr. Karamat Ali, a social activist and executive director of the Pakistan Institute of Labor Education and Research told Arab News.\n\nAbdul Rasheed, a 50-year-old resident of Sangar who was accompanying a Hindu couple, said he was at the event because his friends were like a family to him.\n\nWhile organizers said that the mass wedding encouraged charity too; for a majority of couples participating in the event, it was a dream come true.\n\nJhaman Alam, a 50-year-old laborer from Umerkot, said giving his daughter away in marriage was not an easy task. “With this price hike, it’s hard for me to earn a living for my family. I am happy that my daughter has gotten married with dignity,” Alam told Arab News, as he poured some ghee [clarified butter] into the fire as part of the ritual for his daughter Dhhai Alam and son-in-law, Atam Parkash.\n\n“My father, Parkash Das, was working at a marriage hall before he fell sick two years ago. Witnessing a wedding almost every second day, he would think of a lovely wedding ceremony for me,” Asha Das said, adding that Prakash had given up hope of ever seeing her married.\n\n“This is wonderful. It is more than what my father had dreamed of for me.”"

"It’s certain got the size to match most tourers, but in the Practical Caravan review, we find out what the SsangYong Rexton W is like as a tow car\n\nSo, at the end of the Practical Caravan review, do we think that the new SsangYong Rexton W is a welcome return for the old-school four-wheel-drive SUV, or is it a warmed-over design that’s actually 10 years out of date? The truth lies somewhere between the two.\n\nAs a solo drive, the Rexton W is a long way off the pace of most modern 4x4s. It’s cumbersome and ride comfort is poor. The engine and gearbox are refined, but acceleration is steady even without a tourer in tow.\n\nHitch a caravan on behind the Rexton W and you need a heavy right foot to make decent progress. If anything, the caravan settles the ride somewhat, and the two-tonne kerbweight makes the SsangYong a sensible match for most tourers.\n\nSome steering corrections are needed at speed, but it’s nothing to be alarmed about. In the lane-change test, however, the Rexton W struggled with limited grip and lots of body roll.\n\nAs a family 4×4, the SsangYong offers plenty of space for five, with the option of squeezing in another couple of passengers from time to time – we wouldn’t want to travel in the third row too often, though. Once seats six and seven have been folded away there’s plenty of luggage space.\n\nThe Rexton W is inexpensive as well as practical. With Kia and Hyundai pushing their 4x4s upmarket, there’s space for a big, budget 4×4 and the SsangYong neatly fills that gap. However, SsangYong’s smaller four-wheel-drive, the Korando, is cheaper than its rivals but doesn’t seem built down to a price; the Rexton W feels like a budget car.\n\nThe high kerbweight and towing limit make it a good match for any caravan\nAmple head and legroom for passengers in first and second rows\nA large, range-topping SUV for the price of a family hatchback\n\nSteady but uninspriting acceleration, even when driven solo\nLittle grip, vague steering and plenty of body roll in the lane-change test\nFuel efficiency is not great\n\nThe SsangYong Rexton W is a reminder of the way big 4x4s used to be. That’s no surprise: today’s car traces its roots to the Rexton that went on sale in 2003. While most off-roaders have become lighter but costlier, the Rexton W stays true to the old formula of a big car with a small price. Practical Caravan’s team has had a top-spec Rexton W EX Auto on the long-term fleet, and put the car through a full tow test.\n\nWe know the Rexton W weighs a lot and costs relatively little, but how rough and ready is it? Are driver appeal, refinement and comfort compromised for a two-tonne kerbweight and a high towing limit? Our expert test team took the SUV to the test track to find out.\n\nThe SsangYong Rexton W’s weights and capacities make just about any caravan a safe and sensible match. The top-spec EX Auto has a kerbweight of 2128kg, which gives an 85% match figure of 1809kg. (Manual models weigh 2095kg.) The towing limit is 3000kg, although this drops to 2600kg if the car is loaded to its gross vehicle weight of 2710kg.\n\nAnyone who has passed a driving test since 1 January 1997 and has not taken a towing test to upgrade will struggle to find a caravan that doesn’t push the combined maximum authorised mass of car and caravan over your licence’s 3.5-tonne limit. For older drivers, the Rexton W has the heft to make a sensible match for most twin-axle tourers.\n\nFor the Practical Caravan SsangYong Rexton W tow car review, we matched the SUV to a Sterling Elite Explorer with a mass in running order (MiRO) of 1663kg. Pulling such a big van places serious demands on the 2.0-litre diesel engine. It’s up to the job, but only just, taking 19.1 seconds to accelerate from 30-60mph.\n\nPulling from 50-60mph, as you may when caught behind slower motorway traffic, takes a pedestrian nine seconds. We had to push the accelerator practically to the floor whenever we pulled away from a junction or drove up a steep hill.\n\nIf you can live with leisurely acceleration, the gears change smoothly and the 2.0-litre diesel is much quieter than the gruff and ill-tempered engines fitted to older versions of the Rexton.\n\nStability at speed is acceptable, but you must correct the steering more often than when towing with most other two-tonne cars.\n\nThe lane-change test had the Rexton W in difficulty, though. Vague steering gave the driver little confidence, the car leaned heavily and grip was in short supply. The caravan could be felt pushing and shoving at the back.\n\nIt’s not unusual for big 4x4s to struggle with the lane-change test, but the hill start is usually tackled with ease. However, when we put the SsangYong and caravan on a 1-in-6 slope, the handbrake had to be pulled on very firmly to stop them from rolling backwards. Once underway, the Rexton coped well enough, pulling to the top of the slope without complaint.\n\nIn dry conditions, the SsangYong Rexton W had no trouble in two-wheel drive mode; the twist of a switch selects four-wheel drive for added traction. There’s also a low-ratio 4×4 mode for extra control when towing at low speed on muddy ground.\n\nThe brakes felt a bit soft at first, but the car slowed enough if we depressed the pedal harder. The stopping distance of 10.4m from 30mph is reasonable.\n\nAs a tow car, the Rexton W is heavy enough to be a reasonable match for most caravans and it tows acceptably in a straight line. However, it feels cumbersome in an emergency manoeuvre and could do with more power for towing a twin-axle caravan.\n\nThings have moved on a lot in the past decade. Yes, most new 4x4s are lighter than the models they have replaced and their towing limits have dropped, but today’s SUVs are also more polished to drive and more comfortable to ride in. In everyday driving, the SsangYong Rexton W falls short of the standards set by the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Kia Sorento and other rivals, argue Practical Caravan’s expert tow car reviewers.\n\nThe body-on-chassis construction and rigid rear axle don’t make for a sophisticated driving experience. At speed, body control is too loose but big bumps are felt with a thump and heard with a thud. Vague steering doesn’t help, and even driven with restraint the Rexton feels cumbersome.\n\nThe straighter the road, the better the SsangYong likes it. Find a smooth stretch of motorway and the ride isn’t bad and, while performance is steady, even without a caravan, the 2.0-litre diesel’s 265lb ft of pulling power is enough for respectable acceleration.\n\nProvided you don’t need to work it too hard, the engine is quiet and refined, and wind and road noise are kept to acceptable levels. The gearbox (from Mercedes-Benz, no less) shifts smoothly and is rarely caught in the wrong gear, although you’ll sometimes wish that it would change down more promptly.\n\nIf you want to change gear for yourself, use the rocker switch on the side of the gearlever or the buttons on the front of the steering wheel, which look very similar to other controls located there; paddles behind the wheel would have been better.\n\nAround town, you never forget the size of the Rexton W, and thick rear pillars make for a poor view when reverse parking. It’s just as well that rear parking sensors are standard.\n\nThe engine and gearbox are the best aspects of the Rexton W in everyday driving. Otherwise, newer designs have left it trailing behind.\n\nThere’s no denying that the SsangYong Rexton W is a lot of car for the cash, but it has rough edges, starting from the driver’s seat, concluded the Practical Caravan review. It benefits from ample head and legroom, but it’s a shame there’s no reach adjustment for the steering wheel, making it harder to fine-tune the driving position.\n\nThose in the middle row of this seven-seater have plenty of space and the transmission tunnel intrudes little in the footwell. When just two people occupy the row, they can lower an armrest between them from the seat back.\n\nThe third row has enough headroom but legroom is tight – there isn’t even enough space to put your feet under the seats in front. Access is easy, though, because the middle row folds and then tips forward.\n\nWith all seven seats up, the boot is tiny, even allowing for the small storage box under the boot floor. If you want space for seven and luggage, SsangYong’s Turismo MPV is a better choice.\n\nOnce the third row has been folded, the boot is a good square shape, although the load floor is very high. With the second row folded as well, there’s a long and wide load space. Flaps on the seat backs cover the gap in the floor between the two rows.\n\nWith one or two provisos, this is a practical car.\n\nThe strongest arguments in favour of the SsangYong Rexton W are price and value. Even in its range-topping EX trim, the Rexton W costs a modest £25,995 – that’s no more than many family hatchbacks.\n\nPrices start from just £21,995, which buys an SX, including climate control, 16in alloys, cruise control, electrically heated and operated door mirrors, and a CD player with iPod and Bluetooth connectivity.\n\nThe EX has 18in alloys, leather upholstery, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat, rear parking sensors and side steps. All versions come with stability control, and front and side airbags, but not curtain bags.\n\nHowever, the SsangYong Rexton W costs more to fill up than some rivals. According to the official figures, expect 36.2mpg on the combined cycle. On a recent journey towing from the Midlands to Northumberland and then London, we averaged 22.1mpg.\n\nWhile it’s cheap to buy new, What Car?’s experts predict it will be very cheap used as well: expect to get back just 31% of the original purchase price after three years and 36,000 miles. The Rexton W comes with a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, which is reassuring if you hold on to cars for a long time.\n\nImproved resale values and fuel economy would make the SsangYong Rexton W an even better value, but it’s well priced for all the kit.",

"Cannabidiol (CBD) may be able to counteract the adverse effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on memory, according to findings published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research. Participants who vaped CBD showed improved verbal episodic memory compared to those who vaped a placebo e-liquid.\n\nBoth scientific studies and reports from marijuana users suggest that cannabis has a negative effect on memory. It has been suggested that THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis, causes these cognitive deficits while another cannabis compound may actually counter these effects. There is preliminary evidence that CBD, a non-psychoactive component of cannabis, can instead improve verbal recall.\n\nStudy authors Janine Hotz and her colleagues say such findings are particularly interesting because they suggest a potential treatment option for psychiatric conditions affected by deteriorated verbal memory, such as dementia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Since the early evidence remains mixed, Hotz and her team conducted a placebo-controlled experimental trial of their own.\n\nA total of 34 healthy Swiss adults between the ages of 18 and 30 were included in the study. Participants completed various memory tasks on two separate study days which were virtually identical. However, on one of the days, participants vaped 12.5 mg of 5% CBD e-liquid, and on the other day, participants vaped a perfumed placebo e-liquid. All participants experienced both conditions but were randomly assigned to receive either the CBD or placebo first.\n\nOn the study days, participants learned three series of five unrelated words before vaping either the CBD or placebo for 15 minutes. Twenty minutes after learning the words, the participants were asked to recall as many of the words as they could as a test of episodic memory. Participants also completed an n-back task to assess working memory and attention.\n\nThe results revealed that participants performed better on the word recall task after vaping CBD compared to placebo. The average increase was around 10% and was unaffected by age, sex, depressive symptoms, or how often participants consumed cannabis within a year. Notably, there were no differences between the two conditions for either attention or working memory, suggesting that the CBD did not affect these cognitive functions. No participants reported any negative side effects beyond a headache (one participant in the CBD condition) or abdominal pain (one participant in the placebo condition).\n\nInterestingly, participants with higher body mass index (BMI) experienced greater memory improvement with CBD. According to the study authors, this may suggest that those with lower BMI received too high of a CBD dose to achieve memory benefits.\n\nThe authors note that their study specifically tested the effects of CBD on memory recall 20 minutes after encoding the words. Further study is needed, they say, to shed light on how CBD impacts the consolidation of memories and the retrieval process. The overall findings suggest that CBD is a drug with potential therapeutic effects that may prove to attenuate deficits in episodic memory. Similar trials should be conducted among patients with episodic memory deficits."

"The superstar shortstop, who left Houston before the 2022 season, spent just one year in Minnesota before opting out of his deal.\n\nCarlos Correa bet on himself, and it appears to have paid off. Here's what we know about his new deal, according to ESPN.\n\nSAN FRANCISCO, California (KTRK) -- Carlos Correa's superstar MLB journey from Puerto Rico took him to Houston for the first seven years of his career, then to Minnesota for what seemed like the comparative length of a cup of coffee.\n\nNow, the one-time world champion shortstop has his next landing spot lined up.\n\nESPN's Jeff Passan reported late Tuesday night that the 28-year-old has agreed to a 13-year, $350 million free-agent deal with the San Francisco Giants.\n\nAn opt-out clause after the first year of his contract with the Twins, which paid him just $35.1 million in 2022, enabled Correa to try the free-agent market again for a shot at big money.\n\nCorrea's reported deal is the second richest of this free agency period after Aaron Judge, who actually was being pursued by the Giants before agreeing to a $360 million contract to remain with the Yankees.\n\nCrawford has a $16 million salary in 2023, then can become a free agent. He has dealt with injuries in recent seasons and might consider retirement at the conclusion of his deal, so the Giants were searching for a shortstop of the future.\n\nThe Giants went 81-81 last season, a year after posting a franchise-record 107 wins.\n\nCorrea was selected by Houston with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft, and he played a key role in the Astros' rise from the bottom of the AL West to the franchise's first World Series title in 2017.\n\nHe hit a career-best 26 homers in 2021 in his last year with Houston, also finishing with a .279 batting average and 92 RBIs. He earned his second All-Star selection and first Gold Glove.\n\nThe Astros' 2017 championship was tainted by a sign-stealing scheme, and Correa has been lustily booed in some cities since the scandal surfaced.\n\nThe news of Correa's signing came after he was spotted with his former teammates in Las Vegas. Correa, Alex Bregman, Lance McCullers Jr., Kyle Tucker, and Michael Brantley reunited at a UFC event.\n\nIn terms of the Astros, the club will get to face Correa, a still-beloved Astros icon, in 2023 when the Giants visit Houston for three games, May 1-3.",

"GREENVILLE – Fort Loramie donor Roger Bender made his milestone 400th lifetime donation March 28 at Greenville Grace Brethren Church. He donated platelets with his back to large windows that looked out on fields turning green with early spring.\n\n“I’m glad that I’ve been healthy enough to do it,” said Bender. “I feel very fortunate that I can. With the stuff going on in Ukraine. I spent time in Ukraine, primarily in Kyiv and Lviv. Both got pounded pretty hard today.”\n\nBender worked 32 years as an Ohio State University agricultural extension agent and has continued as a Lands Stewart consultant, a loyal OSU Buckeye fan, and a private farmer.\n\nHe has been a passionate advocate for blood donations and supporter of Community Blood Center. He helped organize the Shelby County OSU Alumni Association Blood Drive and co-coordinates St. Michael’s Hall blood drives in Fort Loramie which are now held six times a year.\n\nBut on the day of his milestone donation, his thoughts were with the farmers he met more than 20 years ago during an agricultural exchange visit to Ukraine.\n\n“In 1999, I was working with farmers on livestock and grain practices,” he said. “They had just exited Soviet rule. The government had dictated how to do it and it was all years behind. They’re much better now – mechanized and modernized.”\n\nHis concerns have grown as Russia’s war on Ukraine has intensified.\n\n“The farmers don’t know if they’ll get their plants in,” he said. “It’s the breadbasket of Europe. It’s the richest soil in the world, as far as I’ve ever seen. Even the grain they produced last year they can’t export because of the war.\n\n“I’m fortunate. I can lay here and donate blood. The farm people there don’t know if they’ll be able to feed themselves.”\n\nAs a farmer for life, and a “Donor for Life,” Bender always plants the seed for his next opportunity to help others.\n\nHe’ll turn 70 in May, so he has reached his goal again.\n\n“I had been donating about 10 years when my dad had heart surgery and needed five units,” he said after his 300th donation. “I look at this way, if I’m healthy enough to give, then I’m a lucky man.”\n\nHi! A visitor to our site felt the following article might be of interest to you: Bender harvests 400th lifetime donation. Here is a link to that story: https://www.sidneydailynews.com/news/217808/bender-harvests-400th-lifetime-donation"

"Ours was a closed adoption. We were first foster parents for our little 5-week-old boy, knowing he may soon become adoptable. His birth mother was placing him for adoption, but the government of Guam was intent on finding someone within his extended family to adopt him. It was the culture. But at 8 months of age, the parental rights were terminated and the adoption process began. At age 2 he legally became ours.\n\nThrough the years we would talk with our son about looking for his birth mother. And always, the answer was “not yet.” Until he was 20. Living in the Philippines, serving a mission for our church, the email came from him one week: “I think it’s time to look for her.” And so the search began. We knew her name, but little else. With advances in technology we thought it would be easy to find her. And after a few months we did find a phone number. Our son was still in the Philippines, so we waited another year for him to come home – all the time searching for another way to contact her. Concerned that, with it being a closed adoption, she may not want to be found; or that even if she wants to be found – it would be a huge shock to get a phone call, we wanted to get an address or email address. But when our son returned home, we hadn’t made any progress. All we had was a name and a phone number – and we weren’t even sure about the number. But sitting on his dresser was a slip of paper with the information we were able to find. He knew that when he was ready, we would support him in finding his birth mother and making that call.\n\nTwo weeks after his return he was ready. But he, also, was concerned about the shock this would be to her. After much debate, he asked me, his mom, to call his birth mother and do two things for him: He wanted me to thank her for him. To thank her for life and for loving him enough to give him his best chance; and he wanted to know about his heritage. Being a mixed race, he wanted more details. So I called with those intentions – and my own agenda too. You see, for 21 years we had prayed for her. At different times during the year, my heart would swell with unuttered gratitude – words and feelings I wanted to share with her, but had no way to do so. I prepared to deliver our son’s message to her followed with my own message of thanks.\n\nWhen Joy answered the phone, I did my best to prepare her for the shock. When I told her that the son she bore and placed for adoption had grown into a magnificent young man who wanted to thank her, we both broke out in sobs. “You have him still?” she asked. “Is he ok? Has he been ok all these years?” Our half hour international phone call was filled with very few words, but lots of emotion. Gratitude on both ends spilled from us with tears and some words. But mostly, in the silence, we could hear each other’s hearts. At long last, we had found Joy. That phone call was the start of having Joy in our lives forevermore.\n\nAngels to Help Us"

"The holidays are often a time of close family, good food, and abnormally large heaps of stress. Not only must today’s celebrants surmount traditional challenges like main dishes, place settings, and uncle Herman’s penchant for off-color knock-knock jokes, but many are strapped by financial burdens, extended unemployment, and increasing depression.\n\nThe worry that leads to stress is an evolved form of fear, taking natural concerns and pumping them up with human imagination. While a mouse knows to retreat when it stumbles upon a sunning snake, a human can sit and stare at the ceiling all night, consumed with the very idea of snakes: all the nooks in which they can hide, the potential anatomical recipients of fangs, the effects of poison hitting the blood stream, etc. So worry isn’t necessarily a bad thing: snakes are bad news.\n\nLeft unchecked, however, worry ceases to be an evolutionary advantage, and becomes a destructive thought process which can taint perspective, poison confidence, and devastate relationships. Evidence has been found that shows that the more a person “stresses out”, the more likely they will be to “stress out” in the future. The physical route along which information travels in the brain influences our interpretation of that information. Once the brain is accustomed to sending information along an inner “stress highway”, the more likely it will be to detour other information along this route. Suddenly people find themselves reacting to an empty bottle of milk with the same magnitude as say…an approaching cobra.\n\nBut a psychiatrist at UCLA has shown that the human brain is actually able to re-wire itself. Between the prefrontal cortex and an area at the junction of the thinking and emotional areas of the brain, there is a brain pathway sometimes referred to as the “worry circuit”. Like any brain pathway, the worry circuit becomes larger and faster when used repeatedly. For example, sufferers of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) typically possess a robust stress track due to repeated rumination over the same thoughts. However, research shows that after just ten weeks of retraining, OCD patients start to form a new track that redirects mental traffic away from the worry circuit and toward what some call the “therapy circuit”. By choosing to focus on new thoughts, a new brain pathway is created.\n\nHere are some more tips on stress management from the Mayo Clinic.\n\nIn the meantime, we have assembled a few quick ideas to help you battle everyday stress inducers. Below are 6 steps to help you unwind:\n\nUnload: We often get so hung up on how we are going to juggle the myriad of tasks, obligations and challenges that cause our stress, we loose sight of our ability to simply hand them off to someone else. This means, most importantly, learning how to say no. The ability to say yes to some things, and delegate others is one of the greatest steps in overcoming unnecessary stress and avoiding needless worry.\n\nNew Activity: Idle hands are stress’ playground, and nothing escalates stress like sitting around and mulling over your worries. Get up and get out. Throw yourself into a new sport or physical activity. Exercise is arguably the single most effective combatant to stress and general malaise. Immersing yourself in a home project or learning a new language are activities that can flex the mind as well.\n\nWill a Change: This could also be called: fake it ’til you make it. The mind and body are inextricably linked. If you want your general outlook to improve, start with your posture. Sit up straight, stand tall, speak to others with a smile and a confident tone of voice. Believe it or not, the sooner you start acting like you’re feeling better, the sooner you will actually begin to feel better.\n\nIdentify the Cause: It’s hard fix a tire if you don’t know where the leak is. Stress has a (not so) funny way of expanding exponentially and contaminating every thought, impression, and idea we have. Mole hills become mountains very quickly, and we soon entertain thoughts of hopelessness, powerlessness, and futility. Name the biggest threat to your mental well-being and let your mental mountain range shrink back down to manageable size.\n\nNutrition: Some foods are simply built to make you feel better: fruits like cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries naturally lift your spirits. Herbs like ginkgo biloba and ginseng are also known for their soothing qualities. It is also important to avoid stress inducers like sugary snacks and drinks, caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. If you eat well and drink plenty of water (and the occasional chamomile tea), your body will soon be your greatest ally in the battle against stress.\n\nDecompress: Take active, deliberate steps to relax. Yoga and meditation are proven ways to help control your inner-worrier, but you don’t have to be a yogi to take a minute, close your eyes, and focus on taking deep, soothing breaths. Also, learn techniques to help you sleep at night. Stress is one of the biggest causes of insomnia, and interestingly enough, lack of sleep is one of the greatest components to being unable to deal with stress. The ability to calm yourself and block out invasive thoughts is key in the battle against stress, whether it be for a minute during the heat of battle, or for extended hours at the end of the day.",

"For the second time this year, we are setting out on a working vacation, retirement style. The deal involves trading volunteer hours for lodging in a unique setting. Last winter we worked at Snow Mountain Ranch in Colorado. This time our destination is Crisp Point Lighthouse in Michigan’s UP near Whitefish Bay.",
null,
"This lighthouse is one of five positioned between Grand Island and Whitefish Point. It’s only a distance of about 50 miles, but Lake Superior claimed numerous ships in this stretch in the 1800s, leading to its moniker as “The Shipwreck Coast.” Pressure to build lighthouses began in the 1850s but it was 1904 before Crisp Point finally received funding and became operational. It remained in service until 1993. After nearly falling into disrepair with Lake Superior encroaching on its shoreline and lapping at its base, the lighthouse was saved by some enterprising folks who ultimately founded the Crisp Point Light Historical Society. That group has done extensive restoration and preservation work, ensuring the survival of the lighthouse for future generations to enjoy.",
null,
"Crisp Point Lighthouse is said to be a beauty. Its remoteness enhances the appeal of the site, with Lake Superior’s unspoiled shoreline providing a dramatic backdrop. Only the lighthouse remains of the multiple buildings that comprised the orginal complex. The attached service building was recently rebuilt, and a new visitor center resembles the old fog signal structure.\n\nOur gig is to man the visitor center and keep the buildings and grounds clean. We are expected to greet visitors and open the tower and gift shop from 10-5. Our instructions tell us we must “maintain the high standards of friendliness, neatness and cleanliness” in carrying out our duties. Just how many guests we will entertain is uncertain. Given that the lighthouse is located at the end of an 18-mile dirt road in an already sparsely populated area, it is not a sight to attract casual tourists. But the true lighthouse affectionados will find their way there.\n\nOur accomodations on site will be a rustic campsite perched on the edge of Lake Superior. Devoid of running water, electricity and other amenities including cell reception, we will have to be self-sufficient for our 5-day stint. While it’s not required to stay overnight on the lighthouse grounds, to us that is the whole appeal. We even upsized to a 3-man pup tent for more elbow room, a luxury of car camping. Having our own slice of Lake Superior shoreline, sitting by a crackling campfire, reveling in the super dark night skies and the ever-hopeful possibility of Northern Lights are the draw for us.\n\nWe should arrive at Crisp Point tomorrow morning about 8:00, in time to talk to the volunteers who are preceding us and get some pointers before assuming our duties at 10am. After that we will be out there on our own with little connection to the outside world, just like lighthouse keepers of old. Check back with us in about a week to see if we find ourselves fit for the job."

"With the shocking revelation in One Piece Chapter 921, there’s something that bothers me about Kaido’s Mythical Zoan Fruit. In the latest chapter, we saw that a Dragon appeared in the sky and at the end, Law revealed that the Dragon is Kaido.\n\nThis One Piece theory about Kaido is a bit confusing but it does make sense.\n\nKaido’s True Form is a Dragon\n\nDuring the fight between Shutenmaru and Jack, the sky went dark and a huge Dragon appeared in front of them. The Dragon speaks and asked Jack to bring those kids, referring to the Straw Hats. Law revealed that the Dragon is Kaido that shocked the Straw Hat pirates and their company.\n\nNow let’s go back to the previous story about Kaido. As we all know, Kaido is having a hard time trying to kill himself. He tried drowning in the sea and jumping from the Sky Island but he still survives.\n\nDuring his era, it is said that Kaido has been defeated several times as a pirate. It was also revealed that the Marines also managed to capture him and tried to execute Kaido. However, after many attempts, they still failed to kill Kaido. But why? They have a sea stone that can nullify the power of the Devil Fruit.\n\nSince Kaido is now confirmed to be a Devil Fruit user, it doesn’t make sense why the sea stone doesn’t affect him at all and still survive from the Marine’s execution.\n\nIn my opinion, it’s because Kaido is a Dragon who ate a Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a human form. This is actually possible as the Straw Hat already have one member, it’s Chopper.\n\nChopper ate Hito Hito no Mi (Human-human Fruit) that allow him to understand human language, learn the same knowledge, and can transform at will. Since this Devil Fruit already existed, there’s a big chance that similar Devil Fruit has been eaten by Kaido.\n\nIt makes sense why Kaido has been dubbed as the Strongest Creature in the World and also called as a Thing by Big Mom instead of human. It also makes a point why the Marine’s execution failed since if they don’t use a sea stone, they will be crashed, and if they use a sea stone, Kaido transforms into his real form, which is a dragon and will also dominate them.\n\nWhat do you think about this theory? Let us hear your opinion about Kaido’s true form by leaving a comment below."

"The British women’s 4x100m relay were near faultless as Philip, Lansiquot, Williams and Hylton combined for an impressive victory in 42.52; Hylton on anchor valiantly holding off the fast finishing Tissanna Hickling of Jamaica.\n\nPhilip said: “I knew what I needed to do on the first leg to make sure I put the team in the best position for the rest of the race. I just knew the South African athlete was on my right, which made me realise I was in a good position.”\n\nLansiquot said: “This is actually my first senior experience so I felt the pressure but it was positive pressure and I just wanted to run the best that I could and make sure the team did the best it possible could as well.”\n\nHylton said: “I have never been on the anchor leg before so I was nervous but as a team we did really well at the beginning and the middle so that gave me extra motivation.”\n\nMiller repeated what training partner Sophie Hitchon (Blackburn; Gustafsson) achieved on the opening night as he collected seven points after a tight duel with Poland’s Wojciech Nowicki in the men’s hammer.\n\nMiller, the world No.3 and Commonwealth champion from the Gold Coast, threw a best of 76.14m with his third attempt however world No.1 Nowicki was just ahead with 77.94m as the Briton placed second for a silver medal.\n\nMiller said: “Today was very good, I finished second and I got seven points for the team so I am very happy. My goal for this competition was 76m and I got that but obviously I wish I had thrown further\n\n“It is a bit different being part of the team; it is fun and the sport needs fun events. It is like the European Team Championships and it also takes me back to my collegiate days in America where you are part of a team. I love the competition and I hope it continues.”\n\nLake, fresh from a flight from Morocco having competed at the Rabat Diamond League, put in a fine performance battling with America’s former world indoor champion Vashti Cunningham for maximum points in the women’s high jump at the London Stadium.\n\nLake said: “I am happy with how I performed. I took some positive steps and need to keep pushing. I wanted to take a few more risks but I am happy with my performance. I really like the format and the crowd were so supportive of every single British athlete.\n\n“It was nice to see the points go up and down and to see where we were in the event, so I think it’s a good idea. I am taking my performances as they come and working on new things every time.”\n\nTracey meanwhile showed guts to secure seven points for the British team in the women’s 800m, showing her intent on the last lap and sticking it out to finish second in a time just outside her personal best, 2:01.05.\n\nShe said: “I really wanted to run my own race and see where I am. I knew it could be tactical but the long run for home has become a bit of a pattern for me. I went out there and left it all on the track.\n\n“I hadn’t raced that much going into the British Championships so it was good to get another race, especially doing it for the team. It is a different feeling and lovely to contribute to the team effort.”\n\nGreene back in a British vest having won the world, European, Commonwealth and Diamond League titles between 2010 and 2011 finished third in the men’s 400m hurdles, hanging on to secure six points.\n\nGreene booked his place on the Athletics World Cup team with victory at the Müller British Athletics Championships at which he also hit the automatic qualifying standard for the European Championships and looked fit and healthy at the London Stadium.\n\nFellow British champion Dobbin enjoyed a fine senior international debut to remember for the British team as her remarkable season continued with a third place in the women’s 200m at the London Stadium.\n\nDobbin, who clocked a Scottish and Championship record of 22.59 at the Müller British Athletics Championships two weeks ago, looked strong around the bend and clocked 22.95 for a clear third and another six points.\n\nGourley showed that every point counts, making a great late charge in a slow men’s 1500m, powering around the final 200m to also finish third for six points. The Giffnock North athlete came from the back of a pack of six to take bronze in 3:53.24.\n\nCharlie Myers (Middlesbrough; Chris Boundy) jumped close to his personal best in the men’s pole vault as he scored five points for the host nation on his senior British debut.\n\nMyers cleared his first three heights without hesitancy but couldn’t repeat the trick as the bar moved to 5.65m at the London Stadium, which would have been a personal best by five centimetres, placing fourth overall.\n\nOjie Edoburun (Shaftesbury Barnet; Fudge) contested a tight men’s 100m and was pushed out of the top three in finishing fourth in 10.22. Rabah Yousif (Middlesbrough; Carol Williams) was also fourth in the men’s 400m, securing five points after clocking 45.88.\n\nOver in the women’s discus, Jade Lally (Shaftesbury Barnet) followed suit with a best effort of 58.92m, just over two metres shy of a podium finish. Amelia Strickler (Thames Valley; Zane Duquemin) was one place down in fifth in the women’s shot put after a best of 17.12m with her second attempt, that performance earning four points.\n\nIn the field, James Whiteaker (Blackheath & Bromley; Nigel Whiteaker) was one of the last members of the British team to compete and did himself proud on his senior debut in the men’s javelin, finishing fifth and collecting four points with a season’s best of 73.90m. Fellow British champion and senior team debutant Naomi Ogbeta (Trafford; Tom Cullen) was sixth in the women’s triple jump with a best of 13.48m for three points.\n\nMegan Marrs (WSEH; Jerzy Maciukiewicz) made her second British appearance of the year after debuting at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in March and secured two points in the women’s 100m hurdles after finishing seventh in 13.36, just 0.04 shy of her personal best.\n\nThere was an eighth-place finish for Dan Bramble (Shaftesbury Barnet; Frank Attoh) in the men’s long jump with a best effort of 7.64m while in the final event of the inaugural Athletics World Cup the British men’s 4x400m did not contest that race after a late injury."

"M6 Hilton Park Services is a major motorway service station. Be careful when transiting north of here as there is a very active microlight site three miles to the north – Otherton. A large number of non-radio aircraft operate from here, along with single engine fixed wing and occasional helicopters. There are two rather large wind turbines between Hilton Park Services and Otherton to re-assert you with your location. This image shows you Hilton park services in a easterly direction. The motorway that cuts through Hilton Park Services is the M6 Motorway. The Motorway joining the M6 from the west is the M54. The base of CAS here is 3500’."

"Does Your Brain Prefer a Green Road?",

"At Nature Sacred, we keep a close eye on the academic research being published around nature and health & wellbeing. Via Research Shorts, each month we take what we see as some of the most interesting work being published and create a brief blurb for our readers — enabling you to be in the know, even if you’re short on time.\n\nA Brief Summary of the Research\n\nA recently published article reveals findings based on a decade of data and nearly the entire adult population of Ontario. The research team compiled an impressive set of calculations, taking into account distance from major roads, diabetes, brain injury, income, and access to neurologists to determine whether there was a connection between proximity to major roads and incidences of dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis (MS). The findings suggest living close to heavy traffic was associated with a higher incidence of dementia.\n\nVegetation acts as a physical and mental barrier in mitigating harmful exposure to pollution and noise. And, green spaces support healthy brains and bodies! When all of these recent research findings are considered together, a compelling urban planning argument exists for urban trees and vegetation as essential elements for community health. As the world population continues to move into cities, the layout of cityscapes, roadways and green spaces play an increasingly significant role in health.\n\nWhat you need to know:\n\nA word from one of the authors:\n\nRealistically, we cannot relocate people who live close to busy traffic to areas farther away from heavy traffic, as this is not economically feasible for most (if not all) people. However, for future urban planning, it is important to consider including buffer zones between major traffic arteries and homes, daycares, and schools when planning land use. Our study suggests that land use planning and policies that are effective in reducing exposure to traffic-related pollution can have considerable potential for prevention of dementia.",

"It’s been a few different weeks for football, a good proof of that is that there are leagues that have already cancelled the season (if you want to know how Driblab can help you with our trial periods during the current crisis read our CEO’s letter). In today’s article we want to evaluate the best that one of those tournaments that have finished this season: Eredivisie, one of the greatest ‘academies’ of Europe where the average age is not a problem. In our best eleven we see a clear dominance of Ajax, following the trend of last season, although with some appearances beyond Amsterdam as Calvin Stengs, Oussama Idrissi or the young Mohamed Ihattaren who has just turned 18:",
null,
"According to our models, the best player of the tournament has been Hakim Ziyech, who was already the star of the last edition. His last year at Amsterdam has been brilliant: adding up league and European competition he has generated 3.5 chances, more than 2.5 shots and 0.6 expected assists (data per 90 minutes). A decisive player both in the shot and in the final pass. Although Ziyech has been the main figure, we must point out the 2019/20 season as the definitive step forward for Calvin Stengs and Oussama Idrissi. Ajax is not the only team that can produce stars.",
null,
"Eredivisie is the league of the youth talent. In this campaign Ihattaren (18 years old) has become the main name for PSV but has not been the only young star of the tournament: Sergiño Dest (Ajax – 19), Donyell Malen (PSV – 21) and Myron Boadu (AZ – 19), besides the young defender Sven Botman (20 years old – on loan from Ajax), have been the best under 21talents for Driblab."

"Following on from the 'Jungle House W.I.P.' I am delighted to present the finished abode as my entry in Dave Stone's, 'Summer of Scenery Challenge'. This is a 'Sarissa Precision' kit and having completed the build in the previous post all that was left to do was to paint and detail it.",
null,
"I tried to keep this as straightforward as I could and dry brushed colour on to the woodwork in a succession of lighter tones; for the record Vallejo U.S. Olive Drab, Khaki and Stone Grey. The vines were picked out in a variety of green and then had some fine turf sprinkled along them.",
null,
"I was a little nervous about dry brushing the delicate feathers and so started by making a series of passes with the airbrush and then picked out the batons and ropes followed by more fine turf and leaf litter to try and convey the feeling that it had been there for some time.",
null,
"Some subtle wash colour under the eaves, a few leafy tufts and more leaf litter and we were there, completed! Sarissa really do make some lovely little kits and because of their study construction are fun to enhance and personalise.",
null,
"A big thank you to Dave for giving me the inspiration to get some terrain done this summer, perhaps not what I had originally envisaged but nonetheless a rather fun diversion and a couple of new tricks learnt along the way. All that was left to do was to get some of the other toys out for a quick photo-shoot!",

"There is a cruel inevitability to all summer holidays, that realisation that it is coming to an end and the plans and schemes, so carefully considered, have again fallen short. Last week saw me return to work, preparing for the release of this year's A-Level results and then having to try and make sense of the carnage that was left behind. Not that I want to get into that here, but suffice to say hobby time was somewhat limited and if truth be told I have found it difficult to get back into the swing of things as the spectre of the new academic year looms into sight.",

"Fortunately I have one or two items in the bag, so to speak, and plan to share those as I go in search of the illusive mojo. Some considerable time ago, I expressed an interest to take part in Dave Stone's, 'Summer of Scenery Challenge'. At the time I was mulling over some ideas for pieces for my Tatooine themed Legion Board, but these fell by the wayside when I stumbled across a 'Sarissa Precision' jungle house on stilts. I have no recollection when this was bought, or why, possibly as a trading post for the Congo board, but decided that it would prove a useful piece to work on, especially given the current project.",
null,
"As with all Sarissa products it was relatively easy to put together, but all the time I felt a pang of guilt, this not being a building designed and cut by James! Once constructed I couldn't help but feel that it needed a little more love and attention, especially if I was to enter it into a scenery building challenge so set about the base board with the trusty Dremel, bevelling the edges before adding pumice gel for the groundwork and a few decorative pieces for added interest.",
null,
"Using an idea that we had employed in the castle build, fur wool or eyelash yarn was used to represent climbing plants festooning the sides of the stilts. This, base section, was then undercoated in grey primer, before I turned my attention to the roof section. The kit has a tile design etched into it, which didn't seem quite right for the sweltering jungles of South East Asian, so went in search for a different approach.",

"In the end feathers were used, having sourced a cheap bag from Amazon. Using PVA glue the feathers were assembled to look like palm leaves, one or two having sections removed along their shaft. To these were added some fibrous bristles that I had lying around and, when dry, were undercoated to match the base. As I started to add colour to the base section it was clear that the effect was starting to work, but something didn't feel quite right and so I added so off cuts of veneer and florists' wire to hint at the batons and rope that may have been used in the roof construction.",

"Update: Local newspaper Almanac New has a great cover story on this weekend’s opening of MAPAC.\n\nOriginally posted on 9/20/09: Finishing touches are underway in advance of the opening of the new Performing Arts Center at Menlo-Atherton High School the second weekend in October, highlighted by a performance by Music@Menlo’s Artistic Directors, cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han, and special guest Anthony McGill, principal clarinetist of New York’s Metropolitan Opera. The center – built in collaboration with the City of Menlo Park – includes a 492-seat theater, lobby, box office, rehearsal and practice rooms, and stagecraft workshop for production of scenery and props.\n\nAccording to Sequoia Union High School District spokesperson Bettylu Smith, the 31,000-square-foot, 65-foot-high building is inspired by the beauty of the historical grove of Valley Oak trees on campus and has been carefully designed and landscaped to create a tree house-like environment and the impression it is following the contours of an already existing hillside.\n\nThe new center also incorporates a range of energy efficient and sustainable features, including a heating and ventilation system that permits only specific zones to be heated or cooled as needed; an unconventional air distribution system that cools from the bottom up (to avoid unnecessary cooling to the rooftop); use of shaded glass and deep roof overhangs to reduce solar load on the building; and extra insulation to avoid heat loss during winter and heat gain in winter – all of which add up to less energy use than similarly sized buildings.\n\n[Update 12/18/09: Thanks to a comment below from Craig Hodgetts we’re reminded that his firm, Hodgetts + Fung, should be credited as the architects of this superb facility!]\n\nHi – nice page. We’d love it if you could provide a link to our site as we were the architects, and its a little weird to see everyone else credited.\n\nThanks for commenting! We just updated the post to include a link to your website. Great work!"

"What’s going on between Clare Crawley and Dale Moss?! The Bachelorette star’s romance caught the attention of viewers on the ABC reality show during the 16th season, but what began as a whirlwind love story turned into a relationship in real life. Just as quickly as Clare and Dale fell in love, the two also ended quite abruptly.\n\nAs Bachelor Nation fans can recall, Dale proposed to Clare after just two weeks of filming during summer 2020, which resulted in Tayshia Adams becoming the lead for the remainder of the season. Clare and Dale seemingly shared a sweet relationship as they plastered photos on social media after the finale aired in November 2020, but by January 2021, they had called it quits.\n\n“I wanted to share with you all that Clare and I have decided to go our separate ways. We appreciate the love and support we’ve received from so many people, but this is the healthiest decision for both of us at this time,” Dale announced on Instagram (via People). “We strongly believe in leading with love and always remaining true to oneself — something our families have taught and instilled in us throughout our lives.”\n\nWhen Clare announced her own statement days later, it appeared fans weren’t the only ones caught off-guard. “This was not what I expected or hoped for and am still trying to process this,” she wrote on Instagram. Since their split, though, the couple has sparked some romance rumors. Keep scrolling to find out why.\n\nIt appears the finale rose between Clare Crawley and Dale Moss may have yet to wilt away. The ex-lovers (maybe not?) are sparking rumors of a reconciliation after they were spotted spending quality time together in Florida.\n\nIn photos obtained by TMZ, Clare and Dale can be seen hanging out at Nokomo’s Sunset Hut in the town of Nokomis on Feb. 16, 2021 — which comes less than a month after going their separate ways. According to the outlet, Clare and Dale walked into the joint on Tuesday afternoon and chatted by the bar for about 45 minutes.\n\nDuring their visit, onlookers told TMZ the two drank a couple of Moscow mules as Clare sat in a bar chair and Dale stood beside her. After they were finished, the pair supposedly left together and walked down the waterfront in the tiny beachside town.\n\nThough either party has yet to clarify the point of their meet-up, and whether this means there’s a chance of them getting back together, it wouldn’t be so surprising if Clare and Dale gave it another shot. “Clare and I have a lot of love for each other,” he told a New York journalist following their breakup on Jan. 20, 2021 (per E! News), noting he has no doubts the two will remain amicable. “Obviously, it’s not the greatest situation … [but] Clare and I will be cool.” Stay tuned, Bachelor Nation!"

"I put this up only because I had no idea wood pallet risks were such a hot topic. No pun intended.\n\nWhile I’m sure the pallet fires caused plenty of problems, it’s always good to put things in perspective.\n\nUpdate: As Douglas points out, the site reeks of plastic pallet propaganda. Another case of forcing an issue by exaggerating the numbers. Tsk.\n\nSmall Tools for Visualization (The Process 101)\n\nAutomatic Visualization is Still Not Useful (The Process 098)"

"NEW YORK GIANTS 24 – BUFFALO BILLS 10…\nThe New York Giants won their second game in a row by defeating the Buffalo Bills 24-10 at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Giants have now evened their record at 2-2 after an 0-2 start.\n\nThe Bills received the ball to start the game but the Giants’ defense forced a three-and-out. On their first possession, the Giants moved the ball 35 yards in eight plays to set up place kicker Josh Brown’s successful 47-yard field goal. Giants 3 – Bills 0.\n\nBoth teams then exchanged three-and-out punts. On Buffalo’s third possession, they moved the ball just 15 yards but it was good enough to set up a successful 51-yard field goal to tie the game at 3-3. The Giants punted the ball away on their third possession but got it right back when linebacker Devon Kennard made a spectacular sideline interception at the Bills’ 32-yard line. Two plays later, quarterback Eli Manning hit wide receiver Dwayne Harris for a 21-yard score. After a false start, Brown’s extra point effort was no good and the Giants led 9-3.",
null,
"The Bills went three-and-out again. The Giants responded with an impressive 10-play, 76-yard effort that ended with an 11-yard touchdown throw from Manning to wide receiver Rueben Randle. The Giants now led 16-3.\n\nThe Bills had the ball three more times in the first half and the Giants twice, but neither team could generate any remaining offense before intermission.\n\nThe Giants punted twice and the Bills once to start the second half. Buffalo then put together a long 13-play drive that moved the ball from their own 10-yard line to the Giants’ 12-yard line. But Buffalo’s place kicker missed the easy 30-yard chip shot and the score remained 16-3 with 2:20 left in the third quarter.\n\nThe Giants went three-and-out and the Bills quickly threatened to tighten the game again, starting at their own 47-yard line, driving, and setting up a 1st-and-goal from the Giants’ 9-yard line. However, the Giants denied the Bills on four straight plays, including stopping Buffalo running back Karlos Williams on a quick pass just short of the goal line on 4th-and-goal. Linebacker J.T. Thomas and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie made the stop.\n\nDespite these defensive heroics, the Giants were still facing a tough situation after their offense went three-and-out again. The Bills began the ensuing possession at the Giants’ 43-yard line. Three plays later, Bills’ quarterback Tyrod Taylor hit Williams for a 23-yard scoring play to cut the Giants’ advantage to 16-10 with less than 10 minutes to play.",
null,
"The pivotal moment came on the Giants’ next possession. Up by only six points, and facing a 3rd-and-3 from their own 49-yard line, Manning threw a quick pass to running back Rashad Jennings, who caught the ball, broke a tackle, ran down the left sideline, stiff-armed a defender, and scored from 51 yards out. A successful 2-point run by running back Andre Williams gave the Giants a 24-10 advantage with 7:42 left to play.\n\nDesperate to score, the Bills turned the ball over on 3rd-and-11 on the ensuing drive when cornerback Prince Amukamara stripped a Bills’ receiver of the football and recovered the fumble at the Buffalo 40-yard line. The Giants moved the ball to the Bills’ 8-yard line, but on third-and-goal, Manning’s pass intended for Randle was intercepted and returned 29 yards to the Bills’ 30-yard line with 3:41 left to play.\n\nOn their last possession, Buffalo did reach the Giants’ 13-yard line. But after a sack by fullback/defensive tackle Nikita Whitlock, the Bills turned the ball over on downs after an incomplete 4th-and-19 pass. The Giants then knelt on the ball to seal the victory.\n\nDefensively, the Bills were held to 14 first downs and 313 yards (55 yards rushing, 258 yards passing), were 3-of-16 (18 percent) on third down, and 1-of-3 (33 percent) on fourth down. The Giants forced two turnovers (Kennard and Amukamara) and had two sacks (defensive tackles Cullen Jenkins and Whitlock).\n\nThe Giants have surrendered 71.5 rush yards per game in two straight games against opponents that entered leading the NFL in rushing.\n\nDevon Kennard will go for tests tomorrow on his hamstring. He doesn't believe \"it's too bad,\" felt a twinge chasing Tyrod Taylor in 4th Q.\n\nWATCH: Eli Manning on the play of the #Giants offense vs. Buffalo #GiantsPride http://t.co/sN842blc9R"

"The new cafeteria lighting is now in use!\n\nBronx Science’s cafeteria has been untouched for the past sixty-one years since it was first built in 1958. Now, it’s finally getting an update.\n\nThe idea of renovating our cafeteria had been brewing over the last few years, but in early spring of 2018, Ms. Cooper, the Assistant Principal of Organization, and Ms. Coufos, the Vice President of the Alumni Foundation, decided that it might be time to seriously pursue their goal. With this notion in mind, they reached out to members of the Bronx Science Parents’ Association to see if others also wanted the cafeteria to be renovated. The PA was thrilled with the idea and they were able to raise some money at their fundraiser that spring.\n\nThat fall, Ms. Cooper and Ms. Coufos wanted to get students involved in the project as well. Ms. Parness, the Coordinator of Student Affairs, sent out an e-mail with a form for students interested in joining the Cafeteria Committee, a group who would work with the administration to input their ideas into the new cafeteria design at Bronx Science. All students were welcome, but based on responses and scheduling, those who made up the core group of participants were Abigail Aronson ’19, Davide Hallac ’20, Kelly Liu ’21, Syed Mehran ’20, Suzune Montag ’20, Ula Pranevicius ’20, and Vivek Talapaneni ’19.\n\nBoth the students and school leaders went to work. The committee was responsible for redesigning the interior of the cafeteria, including new furniture and new finishes. To do this, they looked at numerous college cafeterias to create a modern cafeteria for Bronx Science. Mehran connected the school with an architect, who is also a Bronx Science parent, with whom he had previously worked. The architect and the committee soon began to have meetings to discuss what vision they wanted to pursue in the new cafeteria redesign. The team’s goal was to create a lounge-like feeling to attract students during free periods. “We wanted to completely reinvent the whole cafeteria in order to have a modern look to it,” said Montag. As the planning phase progressed through the school year, Bronx Science suddenly received a large amount of additional funds.\n\nThe trio of Corey Johnson, Speaker of the New York City Council, Rubén Díaz Jr., Borough President of the Bronx, and Andrew Cohen, a member of the New York City Council, gave Bronx Science $1.2 million in allocated funds to spend on renovating the school’s cafeteria. In addition to the funding from the city, alumnus Tony Ann Stavisky ’56, a current member of the New York State Senate, also donated a significant amount. The city’s allocation amounts to only a third of the project costs, however. Donations to the Alumni Foundation’s Green & Gold Fund will help close this gap and transform the cafeteria into a student center.\n\nPlans for the final cafeteria entail significant changes. Ms. Cooper, Ms. Coufos, and the Cafeteria Committee plan to include a variety of different seating options, such as couches and booths, with an overall increase in student seating capacity. There will also be a senior lounge implemented in the back of the cafeteria, vibrant colors all around, and charging stations in specific locations around the cafeteria.\n\nAs students and staff eagerly await the final renovations, smaller changes are already taking place, such as the recently installed lighting and the soon to be installed ceiling insulation, which is on track to be completed by the end of January 2020. While most members of the Cafeteria Committee will not have access to their new cafeteria before they graduate from Bronx Science, they look forward to a future where students can enjoy its benefits. “I am excited to come back and see the renovated cafeteria that I helped to design for future generations of Bronx Science students,” said Montag.\nBronx Science’s cafeteria has been untouched for the past sixty-one years since it was first built in 1958. Now, it’s finally getting an update."

"My wife and I spent a few days last week visiting one of our neighboring states: South Dakota. It was very relaxing and a much-needed break from the current busyness around elections and legislative session preparation. A few things struck me on our trip.\n\nFirst, we visited Mount Rushmore. It is really an amazing site and well worth a few extra hours of drive time if you are crossing the county and have never seen it. It is a great tribute to some of our founding fathers and the vision they had for our country, despite their character faults and issues. I am so glad that this monument has been spared the defacing so many other monuments have suffered lately.\n\nMount Rushmore is carved out of granite, one of the hardest materials on earth, second only to diamonds, and a rock that is actually tougher than diamonds. That’s pretty impressive, and undoubtedly one of the reasons why it has been used since ancient Egypt for statues and building purposes. It was meant to last, like our country. We have been through many trials as a nation: wars, the great depression, government scandals and instabilities, internal strife, but by God’s grace we’ve survived, just like the granite that symbolizes the immovable rock of faith and democracy.\n\nThe carving of Mount Rushmore took roughly 14 years to complete, and the gentleman who started it never got to see the finished product, which his son eventually finished. And that is an important point. He instilled in his son such a love for our country and the monument, that his heir was willing to finish the enormous task that his father started. How many of our sons and daughters have been taught to love our country at that level?\n\nThe second major thing I observed were the prairies. They seem to go on forever, and to be honest, sometimes in a tiresome way when you are driving for hours on end. However, my father taught me something at a young age, particularly as we moved around the country from church to church. He would say, “There is beauty in every place you find yourself, you just need to look for it.” He was a wise man.\n\nAfter a while, we began to see and appreciate more of the rolling hills on our journey. We noticed the fields of crops that feed millions of people here in our country, and that also make us the largest exporter of food in the world – twice as much as the next highest country. We witnessed the diversity of wildlife that makes this land their home. In the end, we were not traveling through barren territory, but through beautiful hills that make up the heartland of our country.\n\nAs Midwesterners, we should be proud of our heritage, faith, defense of liberty and freedoms, and contributions to our country. From Mount Rushmore to the hills of grain, we are truly blessed. Let’s always remember to fight for what we have and cherish. Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota will always be there with you, fighting for the same values.\n\nThank you for your love for our country and the Midwest.\n\nThis land is your land, and this land is my land\nFrom California to the New York Island\nFrom the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters\nThis land was made for you and me\n\nWhen the sun come shining, then I was strolling\nAnd the wheat fields waving, the dust clouds rolling\nThe voice come in chanting and the fog was lifting\nThis land was made for you and me\n\nSelect verses from This Land is Your Land by Woody Guthrie"

"History is supposed to be written by the winners.\n\nBut even winners of the cast-iron variety can feel like losers when it comes to a British and Irish Lions series.\n\nTake Martin Johnson, who no-one would dream of putting in the 'L' category. Successful Lions captain in 1997, England's World Cup-winning skipper in 2003.\n\nYet the final moments of his Lions career continue to fester and gnaw away at him, 12 years on.\n\nBefore a ball was kicked or a tackle made on this tour, Johnson underlined what is at stake for those players in red jerseys running out at Melbourne's Docklands Stadium at 8pm local time on Saturday.\n\n\"Nobody remembers a Six Nations or Tri-Nations from 12 years ago, but everyone remembers a Lions series,\" he said. \"I played in over 80 matches for England and I can't remember all of them, but I recall every minute of every game I played for the Lions. It is a very special experience.\n\n\"I was walking the dog the other day thinking about that final line-out we lost in 2001. It lives with you.\"\n\nThe Lions' \"failure\" to win that line-out as the clock ticked down in the third Test in Sydney was one of the defining moments of that series.\n\nIf the 2013 squad do not want to experience similar pangs of regret, they need to seize the moment on Saturday.\n\nThere are enough old Lions from the 1989 and 2001 squads in Melbourne, engaged in various corporate, sponsorship and media activities, to serve as a reminder of what may lie ahead.\n\nWin on Saturday, and those wearing red shirts will be invited to talk about it at length, at least every four years, for the rest of their lives.\n\nAt 24, Sam Warburton could join the company of the legendary John Dawes, Willie-John McBride, Finlay Calder and Johnson as victorious Lions captains.\n\nNo wonder the Welsh flanker has woken up every morning this week with the weight of that potential achievement on his mind.\n\n\"The game can't come quickly enough. The talk among the players has been to make sure we finish it this weekend\"\n\n\"They are just young men,\" noted head coach Warren Gatland. \"Winning on Saturday has the potential to change their lives in a positive way and open up different avenues.\n\n\"But we can't let that weight of expectation dominate our thinking. We are well aware of it but it is important it doesn't consume us.\"\n\nBrian O'Driscoll, on the cusp of filling in the one blank missing from a stellar CV, spoke to the squad on Thursday about the need to embrace the opportunity in front of them.\n\nTwelve years ago the Dubliner was a raw-boned 22-year-old with the rugby world at his feet.\n\nYet in retrospect, after two subsequent tours ended in physical and mental torment, he never had a better opportunity to win a Lions Test series. Until now perhaps.\n\nBack in 2001, in the same Docklands Stadium that will stage Saturday's game, Wallabies centre Nathan Grey took out Lions flanker Richard Hill off the ball and Joe Roff intercepted a Jonny Wilkinson pass, two moments that changed the momentum of the whole series.\n\nIf the Lions were unfortunate on that occasion and approached the third Test held together by sticking plaster, and again in 2009 when suffering four crucial injuries - including O'Driscoll - in the second Test, the same cannot be said this time.\n\nThey know they dodged a bullet in Brisbane, as much a victim of their own tactical substitutions and poor game management as Kurtley Beale's choice of boots.\n\nThey cannot hope to ride their luck to the same extent again, against a Wallabies side who will be, as Gatland acknowledged, \"absolutely desperate\" and will \"throw the kitchen sink at us\".\n\nThis tour still has the potential to go pear-shaped at the business end but there is every indication the Lions feel they won't need such fortune this time.\n\nWhile Gatland has taken a \"calculated risk\" in demoting Tom Croft and having no specialist second-row cover on the bench, the Lions are intent on not leaving the rest of the series to chance.\n\nLions side to face Australia\n\nThe set-piece may be more of an even contest, but the pivotal battleground in this contest is likely to be the breakdown, where Australia did a job on the Lions and scrum-half Mike Phillips a week ago.\n\nWith Dan Lydiate in to provide ballast and protection around the rucks, not to mention a chainsaw tackling technique, and a referee in Craig Joubert more inclined to allow a proper contest for the ball, the Lions hope that Warburton and company can stifle the Aussie threat at source.\n\nTheir fitness and goal-kicking certainly won't let them down, if the rest of the tour is any guide.\n\nBesides, the Wallabies will not be the only ones with an air of desperation about them.\n\nIt is not just the players with a hunger and determination to ensure this tour doesn't join those of 2001 and 2009 in the hard luck stories. There is unfinished business among the coaching staff too.\n\nForwards coach Graham Rowntree was part of the successful 1997 squad but failed to make the Test side, winning his caps on the unsuccessful 2005 trip to New Zealand. As a coach he was also heavily involved, like Gatland, in South Africa four years ago when the Lions got their front-five selection wrong for the first Test, and suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the second.\n\nAttack coach Rob Howley's 1997 tour was cruelly cut short by injury a week before the first Test. In 2001 he shared in the high of Brisbane and low of Melbourne, before missing the decider in Sydney, again through injury.\n\n\"If we were to go another couple of years without a win it would seem like 'what is going to happen with the Lions?' This is a great opportunity for us\"\n\nNo wonder the former scrum-half said on Friday: \"If you dare to dream, it turns into a nightmare.\"\n\nHe was talking about the need for the players to stay focused and \"task orientated\" at every turn of what will be another tumultuous Test match. But he could equally have been talking about tours past, and how quickly unpredictable events can turn matches, series, and individuals' lives.\n\nListening to O'Driscoll - \"probably the one player that deserves [a series win] more than anyone else\" - address the squad, Howley admitted \"the hairs on the back of my neck stood up\" as the great man spelled out the lesson of Melbourne, 2001.\n\nThe Lions led 11-6 approaching half-time but blew the chance to bury the Wallabies, who rebounded spectacularly in the second half, rattling up 29 points to the Lions' three.\n\nThe current Australia side also have the weaponry to hurt the Lions if given space, with last week's two-try debutant Israel Folau, fellow wing Joe Tomane and full-back Beale a back-three rich in attacking potential.\n\n\"They are three very able players and if we can get the line functioning effectively, the sky is the limit,\" said coach Robbie Deans.\n\nAs the New Zealander, whose tenure could swiftly end with defeat on Saturday, predicted an epic a week ago, there was no reason to doubt him when he ordered a repeat prescription.\n\n\"I doubt it can get any more physical,\" he said. \"The exchanges last week were 'full noise', so to speak. It was fast and furious, and it will be the same again. It is going to be a ripper.\"\n\nFor the Lions, it is not entirely win or bust. A further opportunity awaits in Sydney, but the pitfalls of a decider are great, as Johnson and O'Driscoll would testify.\n\nIf these Lions are to be remembered as winners, the feeling is history needs to be written now."

"Excerpt: Leave it for the Rain\n\nThe twin parks, two-story brick buildings, and towering maple trees in Fredonia was a welcome sight for Adam. He was finally home and seeing the little village through new eyes—the eyes of a confident man who had witnessed and learned much, who was no longer that scared boy who had come here with his family seeking safety a decade earlier.\n\nFlowering magnolia, crabapple, and leafy maple trees lined Liberty Street, offering floral-scented shade to the homes he passed on his way to Grayson’s Livery—and the one woman he’d been aching to return to.\n\nHeart pounding, Adam approached the white two-story house Rebecca shared with her six siblings and their parents Radford and Evelyn Grayson. The wide front porch with a black spindle railing and four large support columns beckoned him to sit a spell. But he was headed for the big barn and livery out back that would soon need a fresh coat of paint. A garden to the left of the barn had been freshly tilled and was ready for planting. To the right of the livery, a large paddock ran across the yard and circled back behind the barn.\n\nA warm spring breeze, scented by the fragrant lilac bushes bordering their property, urged Adam forward. New lime-green leaves were making an appearance on the massive, sprawling oak tree in their side yard, a place Adam had spent many happy hours with Rebecca and her family.\n\nIn New York, May was a time of birth and awakening, a time for new beginnings, a time for Adam and Rebecca to finally begin their life together.\n\nIn one month she would be his wife.\n\nIn one minute she would be in his arms.\n\nHis heartbeat doubled as he dropped his bags by the stone fence that girded their property. He strode into the yard and moved past the quiet house. The red double doors at the front of the livery were open, but he knew without looking that Rebecca would be outside. He rounded the livery and went to the large paddock. In the early afternoon, Rebecca would be there training and tending her beloved horses.\n\nAdam knew it as surely as he knew he was never going to leave her again.\n\nHe found her standing in the patchy grass, working with her black mare, talking to Star as if the horse understood every loving word she spoke. Rebecca’s shiny mass of onyx-colored hair, loosely bound with a blue ribbon, draped her shoulder and shirtwaist like a silk sash. Her brown skirt, shortened four inches to keep it out of the dirt and off the livery floor, showed a good bit of her leather boots, faded and worn in pursuit of her passion. She was wonderfully disheveled and vibrantly alive.\n\n“Rebecca?” he called softly, careful not to startle her black mare.\n\nShe spun on her boot heel, the question in her eyes fading in the instant she saw him. Not a word or a smile moved her beautiful lips as she dropped the curry brush and crossed the rutted ground of the paddock, moving directly toward him.\n\nAdam leapt the split rail fence and met her beneath a low-limbed maple tree.\n\nEmotion pumped through him, but not a sound left his mouth. What he felt was too big, as if he were a schooner navigating an ocean, riding one massive swell of feeling after another.\n\nHe gazed into her brown eyes, seeing her love and her pain, knowing he was the cause of both.\n\nWordlessly, they reached for each other, their fingers lacing. Gazes locked, their surging emotions made them tremble.\n\nRobins twittered in the distance and a bee buzzed around a limb above their heads. Rebecca’s sleek black mare nickered from the far corner of the paddock as if welcoming him home. A light breeze swept a strand of Rebecca’s long hair across her cheek, and he watched it flirt with her collarbone and the rapid pulse beating in her throat.\n\nThe breeze came off Lake Erie and Canadaway Creek where he and Rebecca once played—where they still met when he came home. The memory of her then and the sight of her now blended together in his head like a wild, wonderful painting.\n\nShe brushed the pad of her thumb over his abraded knuckles, her eyes taking in everything, her silence telling him that she noticed his wounds…that she knew something had happened that changed him. Gently, she raised his palm to her chest and pressed it above her thudding heart. That simple gesture of love and understanding was his undoing.\n\n« Return to Leave It for the Rain",

"Unless you've been incommunicado this past week, you've surely noticed that the FX arena has been dominated by one trade. That, of course, is short Sterling, because Britain appears on the verge of leaving the European Union (EU).\n\nThe black swan event that brought about this situation was the surprise announcement by Boris Johnson, the incumbent Mayor of London. Johnson, a rising star of the Tories, is campaigning for Britain to leave the EU. That, of course, was a bit of a game changer. Investors got spooked by the thought of the financial Armageddon that could be visited upon Britain if a Brexit (British Exit) does occur.\n\nLuckily, such panic creates an ideal situation for the rational investor. It's time to exploit and buy the Sterling low and sell it high later on when Brexit fears fade.\n\nWhy A Brexit Is Unlikely\n\nOne might presume that investors are thinking rationally. After all, if a political heavyweight like Boris Johnson supports Brexit there must be a strong base for it, right? The fact is there's not.\n\nEventually, it won't matter which politician is campaigning for a Brexit. Britain's citizens must be in distress. They must believe they have no other option except to risk a Brexit and possible financial catastrophe. And that is simply not the case.\n\nMost of the British business community, from small businesses to corporates, depend on Britain being part of the European Union. Voting against the status quo in the upcoming referendum will be the equivalent of shooting one's own foot. Either they employ immigrants from Eastern Europe to operate their business, restaurants, etc., or they export to the EU. In fact, the majority of clients from London's banking sector come from the European Union.\n\nAll of that is in jeopardy if Britain chooses a Brexit and that is why it's simply not logical. Unemployment is low, growth is stable and overall the UK is doing fine. This is not the typical Greece-like cauldron that can cook a Brexit. Britons are just not desperate enough. Prime Minister David Cameron's compromise of negotiating a better deal is much more appealing, even without aggressive campaigning.\n\nIn fact, one does not have to go too far back to draw a comparison. Scotland, despite the high appeal of leaving the UK, last year voted to stay and avoid the risk of a financial meltdown. And that is exactly the same scenario we are facing now. Ultimately, logic will prevail.\n\nTaking a closer look, we can see the Pound Sterling looks strong as compared to most peers, e.g. the Yen and the Euro (but not the Dollar). Growth is at an annual pace of 1.9%, unemployment is at 5.1%, and despite low inflation, wages are on the rise. All of which means that when the panic fades the FX market will return to price the Sterling for its fundamentals. That, of course, means much higher than its current lows, which presents a convenient opportunity to buy the Sterling on the dip.\n\nHowever, buying on the dip (in our case, the GBP/JPY) doesn't mean timing your entry is immaterial. One possible way is to wait for a level of support to emerge. In this way, we increase our chances of riding the rebound back above 170 rather than having to catch a falling knife. In other words, the prudent Sterling buyer must wait for the panic to ease but enter before the appetite for Sterling resumes in full throttle.",

"Background\nPseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection is associated with an increased morbidity and adverse prognosis in children with Cystic Fibrosis(CF). The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of PA over a ten year period at a single paediatric tertiary referral centre in Ireland.\nMethods\nThis was a retrospective cross-sectional study. Patient’s case notes, microbiology laboratory results and CF Registry of Ireland(CFRI) data were used to collect the data.\nResults\nThe overall chronic PA infection prevalence was 28.1%(45/160) in 2004 and 21.3%(35/164) in 2014. In 2004, 54/160(33.8%) patients were never infected with PA, 27/160(16.9%) were free for 12 months and 34/160(21.3%) were intermittently infected. In 2014; 80/164(49%) patients, 38/164(23.2%) and 11/164(6.7%) were never infected, free for 12 months and intermittently infected respectively.\nConclusion\nThere has been a decline in the overall prevalence of PA infection and a change in the pattern of prevalence over the last decade at our Centre.\n\nIntroduction\nCystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting disease with pulmonary insufficiency as the main cause of mortality1. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is the major pathogen involved in the decline of lung function in children with CF2,3,4,5. It is well known that chronic infection with PA is associated with an increased morbidity and adverse prognosis in children with CF6,7,8,9. Chronic PA infection, especially the mucoid phenotype growth, can rarely be eradicated10 However, a newly acquired PA infection can often be eradicated successfully from the lower airway10,11,12 with success rates above 75%13,21. Successful PA infection eradication has been associated with slower disease progression in CF11,12,13.\n\nIn 2015, the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Registry reported that 47 % of CF patients had positive PA infection (17% intermittent infection and 30 % chronic infection based on Leed’s criteria) with a median age of 5.5 years14. They have reported that around 30.4 % of CF patients younger than 18 year of age had positive PA culture in 2015. From an Irish perspective, a recent study demonstrated an overall prevalence of PA infection of 31% (19% chronic and 12% intermittent infection). This study included all patients (children above 4 years of age and adults) with CF registered in the Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Ireland (CFRI) database in 201316. To date, there has been no study examining the change in prevalence of PA infection over time in purely paediatric CF population in Ireland. Our aim was to estimate the change in prevalence of PA infection at our centre over the period of a decade.\n\nMethods\nA retrospective observational study was performed at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin (OLCHC), Dublin, the largest paediatric tertiary CF referral centre in Ireland. Patient’s case notes, microbiology laboratory results and data from the Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Ireland (CFRI) database were used as sources for the data collection. We compared the prevalence of PA infection in 2014 with 2004.\n\nPatients were grouped into 3 age groups (0-5 years, 6-11 years, and 12-18 years) and the prevalence of PA infection has been compared in both years among the three different age groups. Additional data including the patients’ best FEV1 value performed over the year 2014, height, weight and body mass index (BMI) on the same day of best FEV1 were collected to examine for clinical differences between the four classifications of PA infection.\n\nDemographics of the patient population:",
null,
"Discussion\nIn our single center, retrospective, observational study, we have observed a significant decline in the prevalence of PA infection, and a change in infection pattern over a 10-year period.\n\nIn our study, the overall prevalence of PA infection was 28 % in 2014 (21.3% chronic and 6.7% intermittent infection). A recent Irish study examining PA infection rates in CF patients reported a slightly higher prevalence rate of 31% (19% chronic and 12% intermittent infection). However, this study included both adults and children between 4-69 years of age and the median age was 18.1 years16.\n\nThere are many classification systems used to classify PA infection in the literature which led to variability in reported prevalence of PA infection in children and adults with CF. Based on the recommendation by the European CF Society patient registry guidelines, we have used Leed’s criteria to define PA infection in this study.\n\nOur results showed an interestingly significant decline in the prevalence of intermittent PA infection and increase in the number included in the never infected group over the past ten years. A US study also reported a decline in overall PA infection prevalence in younger patient with CF (< 18 years of age) from 50.7 % in 1995 to 30.4 % in 201514. The reason for such decline in our center is likely multifactorial. Newborn screening for CF was introduced into Ireland in 2011 and it is likely that earlier diagnosis plays a significant role in the decline of chronic PA infection rates. Other changes to the CF service over this timeframe include increased number of CF multidisciplinary team members, improved PA eradication treatment options and a strict patient segregation policy during hospital attendances for all CF patients.\n\nThere are several limitations to consider with our study. We acknowledge that this is a single center study but given the fact that OLCHC is the largest tertiary paediatric CF center in Ireland, the above findings likely provide an estimate of the true overall prevalence of PA infection in children with CF in Ireland.\n\nAcknowledgments\nWe would like to thank Abaigeal Jackson (Cystic fibrosis registry of Ireland) and Dr Catriona Logan for their valuable support in retrieving the needed data. Our appreciation extends to Lisa Martyn, Barbara Brudell and Mairead Ryan who contributed in completing the data collection. Preliminary results of the present work have been presented at Irish thoracic society meeting on 9th of November 2017.\n\nConflicts of Interest Statement\nI declare that I have no conflict of interest."

"Robert Mitchell is an editor with the Washington Post-Bloomberg News service.\n\nOver four decades, Park served in one hot spot after another: In Vienna after World War II, she helped locate Nazi rocket scientists. In Moscow, she helped map a surface-to-air missile defense system as it was being installed around the Soviet capital. In Congo, she became immersed in the postcolonial power struggle that led to the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. During the Vietnam War, she became consul general in Hanoi.\n\nPaddy Hayes’s fascinating and long-overdue biography of Park is aptly titled “Queen of Spies.” Others have referred to Park as 007, though they have also noted that she looked more like Miss Marple.\n\nAt the pinnacle of her career, Parks directed British intelligence operations in the Western Hemisphere and advised Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as Britain negotiated an end to the civil war in Rhodesia. Honored later in life with the title of baroness, Park served in the House of Lords — a fitting honor for a woman who defied gender stereotypes and discrimination to rise to the top of the chauvinistic world of British intelligence.",

"[In ‘The Outsider,’ Frederick Forsyth shares his life of intrigue]\n\nIt was an extraordinary career for a woman who spent most of her childhood impoverished in Africa. Park had no formal education until she left home, alone, at age 11 to attend school in Britain. She earned a degree from Oxford in 1943 and then helped prepare special-operations troops dropped behind German lines in France.\n\nHer stint in Leopoldville (now Kinshasa), Congo, may have been Park’s most challenging assignment. There, American, Soviet and European interests maneuvered for advantage as the mineral-rich Belgian Congo prepared for independence and the West intensified its efforts to keep the new nation from aligning with the Soviet Union. Although Hayes stops short of accusing Park or her CIA counterpart, Lawrence Devlin, of ordering Lumumba’s assassination, he argues that they set in motion the chain of events that made his death inevitable.\n\nPark could not entirely escape the poisonous atmosphere that permeated the transatlantic intelligence community after the spy scandals that shook Britain in the 1950s and ’60s. In some quarters, she was briefly suspected of disloyalty. “Whether Park was ever confronted with these accusations we do not yet know,” Hayes writes, but if she was, “she remained silent about the confrontation to the grave.” Park died in 2010 at age 88.\n\nThe drama of Park’s life story transcends the leaden and acronym-laden prose of her biographer. The book also suffers from a lack of specific information about Park’s role in important events. Hayes tries to fill the gaps by talking to Park’s former colleagues, but without Park’s full cooperation — she agreed to talk to Hayes on the condition that operational details not be discussed — the book at times feels speculative. Thus there remains an aura of mystery around Park. Perhaps the “queen of spies” wouldn’t have it any other way.\n\nBefore Hillary or Michelle, there was Clementine"

"New York, April 20, 1865. 4pp. Toned, creased from being folded, very minor chipping to the edges, except as noted, very good. A detailed account of Lincoln’s funeral describing the massive crowds along the route from the White House to the Rotunda and the services in executive mansion including the text of the opening prayer and sermon. It observes that “Mrs. Lincoln was not at the funeral. It is said she has not seen her husband’s body since the morning of his death.” Gives a description of Lincoln’s appearance describing his face as having “a sweet and most touching expression.” It gives the route of corpse from Washington to Springfield as well as an account of the arrest of Mary Murrat [sic] and Lewis Paine, who attempted the assassination of then Secretary of State William Seward. Interestingly, the price of the paper was one cent in gold and two cents in currency."

"This is the second of four albums dealing with the Who's performances at the BBC.\n\nAdditionally, I renamed what had been \"Volume 3\" to \"Volume 4\" for obvious reasons.\n\nThere is an official album of this BBC material, called \"BBC Sessions.\" But I think I've improved that in some ways, such as adding some songs that were missed or were done for other radio or TV shows, as well as removing the BBC DJ talk over some songs.\n\nThe main reason I found enough material to split an album in two is due to a blogger named Prof. Stoned. He's done a great job finding the best versions of albums by classic rock artists, often remixing them to get the most out of them. Here's his blog:\n\nHe had improved the Who's BBC sessions, so I wanted to redo my albums based on his work. While doing so, I realized he'd found some BBC recordings I'd missed. For instance, on this album, \"So Sad about Us,\" \"Summertime Blues,\" \"Our Love Was,\" and \"Relax\" are all actual BBC studio performances is fine audio quality, so I'm not sure why they weren't on the official album.\n\nAnother ten songs here are BBC studio versions from the official album. I used the Prof. Stoned versions for all of those too.\n\nTwo other songs come from non-BBC bootleg sources. \"Barbara Ann\" was done for a French TV show. \"Glittering Girl\" is an odd one. This song was never done by the Who in concert, and only came out on an archival release decades later. But there's some footage from a German TV show of main songwriter Pete Townshend singing part of the song on acoustic guitar for the band's managers. Then there's another snippet of the full band practicing it in a rehearsal. I cleaned up these sections a bit, removing some talking over the music and cutting out some talking between sections. (That's why there's an \"[Edit]\" in the title. All together, the sections only amount to about two minutes of music. But still, I thought it's interesting enough to inclusion.\n\nFour other songs have \"[Edit]\" in their titles too. That's due to the usual problem of BBC DJs talking over the music. As usual, I used the X-Minus audio editing program to wipe out the talking while keeping the underlying music.\n\nThe cover photo comes from the band playing on a Danish TV show called \"Klar I Studiet\" in October 1966 in Copenhagen, Denmark.\n\nEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest\nLabels: 1966, 1967, BBC, Pete Townshend, Who"

"I remember having this self-titled cassette back in the 80’s, and for whatever reason the word on the street was the album was actually called Winged Assassins. I’m still not sure how that started but strangely enough W.A.S.P. later did an album called Double Live Assassins, so there must have been something to it.\n\nThis album was well overdue for a remastering. The original CD sounds tinny and weak, not at all like the way I remember it sounding originally. This CD fixes that. It also adds the bonus track “Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)” which fits right in. I guess Blackie wanted the track to open the album originally but cooler heads prevailed. Anyway, given the opportunity to do a remaster Blackie has restored that song to the beginning of the album as originally intended. The hit single “I Wanna Be Somebody” is now the second track.",
null,
"If you’re a W.A.S.P. fan, then you already know and love this album and you’re not going to disagree with anything I say about these classic meat n’ metal toons. If you’re not a W.A.S.P. fan yet…well, grab hold of something bolted to the ground when you push play. Blackie & his original cohorts had the pedal to the metal all the way through this disc, with the exception of “Sleeping (In The Fire)”. That “ballad” had a powerful enough chorus to keep you going, even if the verses were too lightweight for us as kids.\n\nBut seriously though: “L.O.V.E. Machine”… “The Flame”… “B.A.D.” (enough with the abbreviations!)… “School Days”… everything on this album kicks. Hard, heavy, rated R and sometimes X.\n\nBut catchy! That’s the thing, really, isn’t it? Blackie has always said his prime influence was the Beatles. I don’t hear it myself, but he obviously learned a lesson or two about the construction of a melody. Blackie’s songs are memorable and melodic without once giving an inch, or sounding like anything less than heavy metal purity. Unfortunately my feeling is that later on, Blackie’s songs all sounded the same. On this first album, he was writing standouts and some would argue that he’s never reached these heights again.\n\nBonus material at the end includes the B-side “Show No Mercy” which I also have on a CD soundtrack for a movie called Dudes. Great song. Easily as good as the album. “Paint It, Black” is the only song that sucks. From the Tea Party, to Glen Tipton, Vanessa Carlton and Deep Purple, I’ve never heard a good cover of this song. W.A.S.P.’s is no different.\n\nPackaging is awesome, loaded with cool pics, blood, and Blackie telling you how he sees things. If you’re a fan this remaster is a must. If you’re not yet, this is the logical place to start. It’s one of the few W.A.S.P. studio albums that I would consider essential (the other being Headless Children).",

"Mountain Law: Does one man, one woman violate rights of gays, lesbians? | SummitDaily.com\n\nMountain Law: Does one man, one woman violate rights of gays, lesbians?\n\nThe Supreme Court will hear oral argument this week on the question of whether laws requiring that marriage be between a man and a woman violate the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians. What are the cases specifically about?\n\nThere are actually two cases before the Supreme Court, each presenting different issues. The first case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, involves the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8, which amended the California Constitution to say that marriage must be between a man and a woman. As background, the California Supreme Court found in 2008 that the California Constitution created a right of marriage for all couples, including gays and lesbians. California voters then passed Proposition 8 in 2010 to specifically deny gays and lesbians the right to marry. Two same-sex couples challenged in federal court whether Proposition 8 violates the United States Constitution. The trial court found that Proposition 8 violated the right to marry and also violated equal protection by taking away rights from only one class of citizens, same-sex couples. The defendants in the case, who were a number of state officials such as the California governor, declined to appeal the trial court’s ruling (thereby evidencing their support for gay marriage and striking down Proposition 8). Supporters of Proposition 8 then successfully gained permission to appeal the case in place of the true defendants. The supporters lost the appeal at the 9th Circuit and appealed again to the Supreme Court.\n\nAt issue in the first case, then, is whether citizens can ban gay marriage by amending the state constitution. Before the Supreme Court can even reach that issue, it will need to decide whether the supporters of an initiative can appeal it when the defendant state officials decline to do so. In legal speak, the question is whether the Proposition 8 supporters have “standing” to bring an appeal when they suffered no direct injury as a result of the trial court decision. (For more on this issue, see my May 11, 2011, column titled “Understanding Standing”).\n\nThe second case, United States v. Windsor, pertains to a federal statute called the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that defines marriage as between a man and a woman for purposes of federal laws. In the case, a lesbian couple met in 1963 and lived together in a committed relationship for 40 years. They were married in Toronto in 2007. When one partner died, the survivor was required to pay $363,053 in estate tax, which she would not have been required to pay were the couple considered married under DOMA. She brought suit challenging the constitutionality of DOMA, and the Obama administration refused to defend the case (i.e., it refused to argue that DOMA was constitutional). The Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group of the House of Representatives (BLAG), following a party-line vote, obtained permission to defend the case in place of the executive branch and, after losing at trial and on appeal to the 2nd Circuit, appealed again to the Supreme Court.\n\nThe second case is, therefore, about whether the legislative branch can define marriage as it did in DOMA. Like the first case, the second case presents a threshold issue of standing as to whether BLAG can defend a case in place of the executive branch. It also presents issues of equal protection, namely whether DOMA can deny benefits to gay and lesbian couples that are enjoyed by opposite-sex couples.\n\nAfter this week’s oral argument, the dramatic actual decisions will likely come this summer.\n\nNoah Klug is owner of The Klug Law Firm, LLC, in Summit County. emphasizing real estate, business and litigation.

"A special kind of dumbass.\n\nThis has to be one of the dumbest stories of the year. 25 year old Virginia mum Laquanda Newby has been charged with 3 counts of contributing to the delinquency or abuse of a child after police said she left her kids locked inside her hot car outside the Henrico County Courthouse on Monday. The ridiculous thing is she was actually showing up to the courthouse to turn herself in after being accused of leaving her kids in the same car a month earlier while she went shopping.\n\nAfter police discovered the kids (aged 1 — 6) in the car with the windows shut, they booked Newby into jail. Surveillance footage showed the kids were in the car for longer than an hour.\n\nTheir shirts were wet, sweat rolling off their brows. They seemed to be OK, but it was very hot.",

"Amazing. You show up to court to turn yourself in for a crime you committed and end up committing the exact same crime while turning yourself in. That’s a special kind of dumbass right there. What can you do though? Babysitters cost an arm and a leg these days. Also going to take a wild guess and say the dad isn’t in the picture. Probably had no choice but to leave her 1 year old roasting in the car on a ridiculously hot day. Mum problems.\n\nKid Gets Stuck In Elevator With Complete Psycho, Films The Whole Thing"

"An official court in the US state of Nevada has recommended dismissing the sexual assault lawsuit filed by Catherine Mayorga against Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, in the incident dating back to 2009.\n\nRonaldo was accused by Mayorga in a lawsuit that began in 2018, where she accused him of raping her 9 years ago, specifically before his move to Real Madrid in the summer of the same year.\n\nRonaldo denied these allegations all the time, insisting that their relationship was consensual, but the appearance of Mayorgas story in the German magazine “Der Spiegel” within the famous “Football Leaks” leaks was the entrance to this story to life again.\n\nMayorgas lawyer, Leslie Stovall, presented the documents she obtained from “Football Lakes” as an official document in the civil lawsuit against Ronaldo, but it was one of the main reasons for the recommendation to dismiss the lawsuit as well.\n\nMagistrate Daniel Albridgets sent a recommendation to the Nevada court to dismiss this lawsuit, because the leaked documents were private conversations between Ronaldo and his attorneys and therefore could not be recorded as incriminating evidence.\n\n“The dismissal of Mayorgas suit due to the misconduct of her attorney is a harsh outcome, but unfortunately it is the appropriate sanction to ensure the integrity of the judicial process,” Judge Albridges wrote in his recommendation.\n\nThis recommendation does not mean the end of the case, but will be taken into account by Jennifer Dorsey, the judge responsible for this case.\n\nIt is noteworthy that Ronaldo paid $ 375,000 in January 2010 to Mayorga to end this lawsuit before her birth, with an agreement mediated between the legal team of each of them, but it returned to the surface again after 8 years.\n\nThese were the details of the news FilGoal | News | Court recommends dismissal of sexual... for this day. We hope that we have succeeded by giving you the full details and information.

"A report released by UNICEF and UNESCO (click HERE to download) on out of school children in India has highlighted that Dalit girls have the highest primary school exclusion rate in India. The report also finds that half of the pre-school age Dalit children are not attending school. The report cites compounding factors such as ingrained social inequalities and poverty among Dalits, to be contributing to higher rates of exclusion. It states, “Humiliation, harassment and abuse by upper caste teachers towards children from Scheduled Castes have been shown to undermine their motivation to stay in school.”\n\nChild labour is identified as a key hindrance to children attending school. It says, “According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), India has the highest number of working children in the world … Most of these children belong to the poorest, most marginalized communities, including Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.” Another deterrent factor identified in the report is that discrimination in the labour market contributes to low labour market aspirations for Dalit children and therefore reduces the perceived benefits of schooling.\n\nGirls in rural areas, particularly those from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in India also have higher rates of exclusion.\n\nAmong India’s social and religious communities, two groups stand out as having a higher than average proportion of pre-school children excluded from school based on analysis of NSSO 2007-08 data. About half of pre-school age children from Scheduled Castes and from Muslim families are not attending school, compared to 40 per cent overall.\n\nFor some social and religious groups, formal sector job opportunities are limited by discriminatory employment practices. Compounding this, the marginalisation of specific groups in relation to livelihoods goes even further: in India, some low caste communities face physical and well as social segregation from mainstream society, limiting informal economic opportunities too – as well as discrimination in education systems. One report in India concluded that high unemployment rates among low caste communities reduced motivation to send children to school because of the little economic benefi t expected from schooling (Sachar Committee Report, 2006).\n\nIn Sri Lanka, high dropout rates are seen in communities that have been historically marginalised from employment opportunities—especially the Indian Tamils who worked in estate plantations (Jayaweera and Gunawardene, 2004). Discrimination in the labour market contributes to low labour market aspirations for children from these communities and reduces the perceived benefits of schooling.\n\nIn India, poor or absent water and sanitation facilities have a more significant negative effect on schooling for children from marginalized communities such as those belonging to the low caste, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes groups (NEGFire Seminar, 2011 as cited in the India OOSCI Study).\n\nIn India, studies have shown that corporal punishment contributes to dropping out (Reddy and Sinha, 2010). Humiliation, harassment and abuse by upper caste teachers towards children from Scheduled Castes have been shown to undermine their motivation to stay in school (Nambissan, 2000). And teacher prejudice towards weak learners has been shown to de-motivate students, who are often from marginalised communities (PROBE, 1999).\n\nAccording to the ILO, India has the highest number of working children in the world – an estimated 29 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 go to work. Child labour is illegal in India for children under 14 years of age. Girls often work in informal sectors such as domestic work or as paid house helps, which are not counted in official statistics. Most of these children belong to the poorest, most marginalized communities, including Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.\n\nOne thought on “South Asia regional study: Dalit girls most excluded from primary education in India”"

"INDUSTRY.co.id - Surabaya - Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman did this Monday (16/7/2018) at the Central Agriculture Quarantine (BBKP) Surabaya, in Juanda, Surabaya, East Java - located approximately 5 km from Juanda Airport. Mentan went straight into the back of the office, and met two employees who were busy chatting while coffee during work hours.\n\n\"What is this? The head of the Hall to where?” Amran asked firmly. \"No sir, sick,\" said one of the quarantine employees.\n\nLater in the same place Amran checks the waiting room for the people who are taking care of the administration of agricultural quarantine, and had a discussion with one of them to dig up information on whether or not there is illegal practice. Amran continued to check the room thoroughly, several safes were opened one at a time and ensuring no extortion in the office.\n\nIn the inspection of the Minister of Agriculture also briefly stopped in the lobby, then went into some staff workspace, and pointed at a corner of the room that seemed to have been long not cleaned and not treated. \"Try to shift, see how long this floor and wall is not cleaned. Where is the cleaning service staff? Who is responsible for this matter?” Asked the Minister of Agriculture.\n\nAmran here again asks one by one people who are queuing up the turn of licensing about quarantine. \"How long does it take for long?\" Usually, how long does it take (officers) to ask for money? \"Asked Amran. \"Wait a minute, at least 20 minutes, but it depends on how many files, no money asked, all transfers and online,\" said one who was in line.\n\nIn the era of Amran Minister, a system of licensing and document processing has been developed online. All administrative fees charged by the transaction by transfer to the bank. This is to eliminate illegal levies (pungli) practices in the field. As a result, the maintenance becomes more effective and efficient both in terms of time, cost, and energy. In addition, such a thing also contributes to the award as the Ministry of Anti-Gratification to the Ministry of Agriculture of the KPK.\n\n\"We (sidak) here in order to improve the discipline of employees, which we are grateful, extortion no. We used to find our direct levy dislodged even we fired. Alhamdulillah today no (pungli), but need discipline. Today we sidak, They did not know it, and we checked out one by one, we scored straight away, we wanted to do a good job, today is good, but we want to do better \", he explained to the media crew.\n\nSince the last three years Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman led Minister of Agriculture, not only complete the food program such as rice, corn, chili, onion, garlic, beef, chicken meat and others, but also make mental reform of Agricultural Human Resources, and control of the apparatus."

"So, them Mayans were wrong again. Ooops, don’t mention the end-of-the-world thing! Embarrassed silence all round from the end-of-the-world believers… Yep, the world is still here, the country is still here, and what is most important of all, the Eye of the Fish is still here. If you’re like me, having been tramping the wide open spaces, and swimming the seven seas over the holiday break, winging your way across the open skies, then the prospect of coming back to a pokey little building and having to sit inside while it is sunny outside is a cruel and inhuman form of torture. I’m feeling cramped!\n\nHere at the Eye of the Fish International World Headquarters (Universal branch), we’re hopeful that this 2013 year is full of good things happening, instead of last year’s negativity and complete bloody waste-of-timery. We have, as one of our many readers commented last year (shoutout to DavidP who reminded us – thanks!), actually a whole heap of buildings on the go at last in Wellington. There is, in no particular order:\nClyde Quay Wharf – the rebuild by Athfield etc of the Overseas Passenger Terminal, that isn’t a Terminal at all. Nor does it have any passengers.\nIl Casino – the Studio Pacific facadism number that will not feature a Casino. Nor Studio Pacific, apparently. And even the developer seems to have disappeared. And the website! Strange stuff. But at least it is going ahead. I think.\nElevate – the tall thing by Arch + in lower Taranaki St on the site of a former brother, the new building of which will (probably) not feature a Brothel. I think.\nOne Market Lane – the replacement for the Watermark, also by Studio Pacific. Definitely going ahead. Finally. At last. I think.\n\nYes, indeed, the common factor linking all those projects is that they are apartments for – let’s face it – rather wealthy owners. Little in the way of affordable housing there. We should review those buildings as they progress along – most of them are only just getting out of the ground. It is a good sign that the GFC effects and the ChCh Quakes may at last be lessening their impact on the Wellington apartment construction scene. Apartment building, apartment buying, and indeed apartment owning have all been in the doldrums over the last few years, what with the uncertainties of insurance levels skyrocketing and generally putting people off living skyhigh. It is therefore wonderful to see that these projects for new apartments are all going ahead, even if they are all aiming at pretty much the same target market of wealthy retirees. Perhaps in time the effect will ‘trickle down’ to us less wealthy individuals – the little fish of this world, rather than the big fish…\n\nThen again there are other buildings just finished – the Peak – silly name – the white building by Archaus on the corner of Wigan and Taranaki. That’s not affordable building either – it’s just a damn shame. A much better effort by Archaus is underway – Canvas (which looks much the same as Tattoo) up on Willis St. Better value than the Peak (formerly Te Aro Towers). The new apartments next to Trinity in College St – I forget their name – which again was another project by the same developer as Il Casino. And then the Republic 2 apartments that I’ve been meaning to write about, down in one of those side streets off Cambridge Tce: Lorne St. And those new ones down on Oriental Parade, overlooking the Freyberg Pool. Quite a lot really, when you think about it.\n\nWhat else is there going on around town? Anybody keen to report in? Lambton Square was progressing well last time I saw it, and will be finished soon, but there is not much signs of life yet around in the CBD. I’m picking a fair bit of rebuilding and strengthening will take place before too long. Thorndon always seems to be changing – the National Library is finished – or at least it is open again, even if it is not finished. I’ve been in there, but can’t figure out where they have hidden all the books. Not sure what the point of a Library is if you can’t see the books. Hmmm. Very odd.\n\nSo: time for us to blow our own trumpet and announce some 2013 predictions. While some will be scared of this year, what with the lucky number 13 in it, others will forge on ahead regardless. We’re going to make some architecturally-related predictions for 2013, such as:\n\n1. Wellington City Council will make some unpleasant decisions about it’s property portfolio, and some buildings will get the demo order.\n\n2. At least one private sector developer will go tits up and bite the bucket in 2013. Can’t go wrong there – there’s at least one every year…\n\n3. The Government will close down or restructure the appallingly inefficient Weather-Tight Homes Resolution Service. With Joyce at the helm of MoBIE, he won’t be able to stand the lack of progress. Time for a stiff broom!\n\n4. Roads of National Significance – at least one of these projects will take a major backwards step. Kapiti is getting hammered in the courts at the moment.\n\n5. Kim Dot Com will be found innocent, or at least otherwise escape, and the NZ government will have to pay him damages – I estimate that Key et al could leave our country looking for at least $100 million for loss of business.\n\n6. John Banks will still continue to not remember anything, but will never be elected to public office again, and he will be egged at least once.\n\n7. Some prominent Wellington buildings will get demolished, rather than get strengthened and restored. The old T&G building was just the beginning.\n\n8. Do we have local government elections this year? If so – expect some real changes. There’s a lot of dead wood in local government, especially in the WCC. Several councilors will get the axe – or certainly should get it.\n\n9. New boy Kevin Lavery will get bad press from the day he arrives, and he will propose massive cuts to the WCC expenditure. Well, duh, that’s why the Council got him in, isn’t it? To do the unpleasant work for them, no?\n\n10. New writers will volunteer for Eye of the Fish, and Maximus will swim off into the distance….\n\nSummertime and the Fishing is Easy"

Even though Grande did not give a reason for her departure, followers were quick to notice her absence.\n\nAccording to a report by People Magazine, Grande's name began trending on Twitter on Friday afternoon when her fans discovered her account \"doesn't exist\" on the social media network. The cause for Grande's abrupt departure was questioned by fans. Some speculated that cyberbullying was to blame, or that Grande just wanted a new social media page to reveal a new project. Whatever the case may be, she does not appear to be sending out any Twitter updates anytime soon.\n\nHowever, the 'The Voice' coach's social media presence isn't completely gone. Grande has been quite active on Instagram. She used social media to promote the Netflix film 'Don't Look Up.'\n\nIn addition, Grande posted a Christmas Eve wish to her followers. \"Merry : )\" she wrote on a video of the sky, which featured no sound. \"Be safe I love you\" she ended the note.",

"Harnessing AI for Good: The Promise of Facial Recognition\n\nFor many of us, there are few things more important to our identity than our faces. It is often the first thing people notice about us and integral to our ability to communicate with others. Most of all, it is one of the most significant things that make us unique from other human beings.\n\nWith all this in mind, it’s no wonder why facial recognition is one of the most notable areas of computer vision AI. Previously, we broke down how this complex artificial intelligence works, but it’s a technology most people have already encountered. Whether it’s tagging loved ones in pictures on our social media accounts, unlocking our smartphones or organizing our photo libraries, facial recognition has already made our everyday lives simpler. Still, its value goes well beyond these ordinary occurrences.\n\nToday, I’ll be highlighting some of the ways this technology is proving itself to be a potential lifesaver.\n\n1. Better communication between patients and caregivers\n\nFacial expressions are a vital means of communication for most human beings, but in health care, they can be a matter of life or death.",
null,
"With this in mind, the Robotics, Health, and Communication Lab at the University of Notre Dame have used facial recognition technology to develop “Next-Generation Patient Simulators.” Having been trained on 3D images of persons who have suffered from several neurological conditions, like strokes, or who are in pain, these “high-fidelity robotic human patient simulators” can mimic clinically-relevant facial expressions. This training tool can help doctors to learn and quickly recognize sudden, fleeting changes in facial expressions without patients having to verbalize their symptoms.\n\nWorking with non-verbal mentally and physically disabled patients, one music therapist knew many of them struggled to express their emotions on their faces. Using the advances in facial recognition, Greg Hanford built a facial analysis tool that can read the expressions of these patients, compare them to data taken during previous sessions, then translate any changes into understanding how the patient feels emotionally. With his tool, he has been able to gauge the impact music therapy is having on his patients, who would otherwise be unable to express themselves. As Greg notes, the software is still in its infancy, but he hopes that in time other music therapists will be able to use the tool to see if their efforts are helping their patients.\n\nSince ancient times, natural disasters have wreaked havoc and devastation on the world, leaving innumerable people displaced and injured in their wake. Reuniting families is an integral part of disaster relief efforts, but this is often very difficult particularly where victims have suffered from injuries to the face. With the advances made in facial recognition, however, there is now a potential aid in this process.\n\nIn 2017, the “Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness” journal published a research article where commercially available facial recognition software was tested to perform this task. Pictures were taken of over 100 volunteers before and after mock facial injuries were applied, and analyzed, along with the volunteers’ personal photos, to see if the technology could accurately identify a person with facial injuries. The results showed that where images were of optimal quality, the software was able to identify the volunteers over 90% of the time. Even with lower quality images, the software was able to accurately identify volunteers almost half the time, which could be of significant benefit for relief workers who need to identify hundreds or thousands of victims.\n\nShould a missing person be found in an image, a notification is sent to the profile. Unfortunately, the success of this particular initiative is dependent on whether images of missing people are posted to Facebook. That said, when there are pictures of missing people who need to be identified, independent facial recognition systems have been shown to be invaluable tools for law enforcement.\n\nThis past April, police authorities in New Delhi, India launched a trial of a custom facial recognition system. Using a database provided by the country’s Ministry of Women and Child Development, the software matched the facial features of 45000 children living in care homes against the stored images. Within 4 days, the police were able to identify almost 3000 missing children and start the process of reuniting them with their families. Should the system continue to perform at that rate, authorities could identify over 20,000 missing children a month, giving hope to suffering families across the country and world.\n\nHaving developed facial perception in infancy, most of us don’t give much thought to the amount of information gained and shared through faces alone. Human beings can recognize and recall thousands of faces and gain insight from almost all of them. Like visual recognition, facial recognition is a tool that can augment these abilities. By going through thousands of faces far quicker than we would be able to, computers give us back an invaluable amount of time, and for the use-cases like those outlined here, time is of the essence."

"An intricate work by the glass artist Dale Chihuly on display at Phoenix's Desert Botanical Garden in 2014. Chihuly has made pieces at the UrbanGlass facility in Brooklyn.\nPhoto: Creative Commons\n\nSee Inside this Legendary Glassmaking Studio\n\nIn the 1980s, New York glassblowers befriended the mafia. At least, that’s the story UrbanGlass executive director Cybele Maylone heard at the organization’s 40th anniversary benefit in May. The founders initially established the glass studio (originally called the New York Experimental Glass Workshop) on Great Jones Street in 1977. In 1981, they moved to Mulberry Street. Their block was also home to a social club where legendary mafioso John Gotti and his family did business. According to Maylone, the neighborhood was initially suspicious of the ragtag group of artists infiltrating their home.",

"At some point, though, they realized that the work had Venetian origins—glassblowing has Italian roots. The organized crime rings became protective of the artists. “Someone was telling me at the gala about getting his parking tickets fixed,” Maylone says. “There were a lot of artists that were really young and probably not paying too much attention.” If they didn’t realize what was occurring at the time, they later discovered that many of their new neighborhood friends had been rounded up and indicted.\n\nIn the years since, UrbanGlass has become a much more professional outfit. In 1991, they moved into their current building in Fort Greene. While the Brooklyn Academy of Music was just down the street, the neighborhood was yet to become a thriving cultural district. Now, UrbanGlass is a community space that offers skilled artists and intrigued novices opportunities to work with the material. Glass is a difficult, delicate medium that requires high temperatures and precise movements. Shaping it necessitates highly specialized tools, massive furnaces, and plenty of room. The 17,000-square-foot studio space offers two 1,000-pound furnaces, 14 kilns, and six crucibles where is glass is reheated. The cold shop, where artists work on cooled glass, features sanders, sinks, and other heavy equipment.",

"UrbanGlass regularly hosts fellows and visiting artists who use the studio to further their practice. Maylone, who comes from a broader art making background, has been surprised by the diversity of projects at the studio. While people often think that glass work starts and ends with Dale Chihuly, she says, “in reality, everyone from [Robert] Rauschenberg to Kiki Smith to Matthew Barney to Tony Oursler are here or have come to Urban Glass to make work.”",

At the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut, Suzanne McClelland’s first museum survey includes a new site-engaged installation that incorporates glass, ceramic, and paint. Recent exhibitions by Win McCarthy (at Silberkuppe in Belgium) and Ivana Basic (at Marlborough Contemporary in New York) both featured products from the artists’ time at UrbanGlass.",

"No need to have an upcoming show to work at UrbanGlass, though. The center offers workshops that cover topics from ergonomics to best business practices. Long gone are the days of UrbanGlass’s associations with the Manhattan underworld—this year, Maylone says she’s excited about the studio’s summer camps. Though the high temperatures and heavy equipment limit participation to children eleven and older, Maylone suggests that participants’ age isn’t such an issue. “Frankly, it’s true that adults can also not necessarily be the wisest decision makers,” she says lightly. She and her team ensure high teacher to student ratios so that no one, quite literally, gets burned. urbanglass.org\n\nCover: An intricate work by the glass artist Dale Chihuly on display at Phoenix's Desert Botanical Garden in 2014.

"The popular character of Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed by many actors through the years, with the most recent being that of Robert Downey, Jr., Henry Cavill, Benedict Cumberbatch, and let’s not forget Johnny Lee Miller.\n\nHowever, the two most notable portrayals, and in entirely different fashion, are undeniably those of Robert Downey, Jr and Benedict Cumberbatch. My question to you is—who did it best? I have my favorite choice, but I am interested in what others think.\n\nThe great detective Holmes, along with his partner Dr. John Watson, were created by the author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes first appeared in 1887, in the story A Study In Scarlet, and he instantly skyrocketed in popularity. This popularity was helped along by the publishing of a short story series in The Strand Magazine, in 1891, titled A Scandal in Bohemia.",
null,
"Over the last 100 years, Holmes has popped up in a total of four novels and 56 short stories. He continues to be adapted to fit the generation and era in which he appears. Each actor who has portrayed the character, whether it be on stage, TV, or on the big screen, have given the role their own touch and style. With the recent big Hollywood names attached to the character, Holmes and his unusual cases are once again popular.\n\nRDJ’s version of the quirky detective appeared for the first time in 2009, with the simply titled Sherlock Holmes. Then, in 2011, the film got a sequel, titled Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows. In 2010, The BBC aired its version of the detective in Sherlock. This version of Holmes, portrayed masterfully by Benedict Cumberbatch, resided in modern-day London, with the storylines developed from the original cases penned by Doyle.",
null,
"Much like RDJ’s version of Holmes, Cumberbatch was very well accepted and built a relatively strong and loyal fanbase of its own. Critics and viewers alike praised both portrayals as hits.\n\nSo, back to the question above, which version of Sherlock Holmes was your favorite?"

"Fire engulfs the cross on top of the Holy Grace Protestant Church in Tang He county on Sept. 20. (YouTube video screenshot)\n\nFollowing the demolition of church crosses by local authorities in China's Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces in recent years, Henan has now become the third province where this has occurred.\n\nEven though the Holy Grace Protestant Church in Tang He county was officially registered, local authorities used a crane to demolish its cross on Sept. 20.\n\nVideo has circulated online showing the cross on fire after it was purportedly ignited by sparks during removal.\n\nYing Fuk-tsang, director of the Divinity School at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, told ucanews.com that as far as he knows this was the first church in Henan to have its cross forcibly taken down.\n\nA pattern seemed to be emerging, but it was unclear whether the removal of crosses was being ordered by the central government, he said.\n\nYing was unaware if prior notice was given before the latest incident.\n\nBut the targeting of crosses as religious symbols appeared to be in accord with national policies, particularly regarding major provinces where Christianity is booming such as Zhejiang and Henan.\n\nA Protestant leader in Wenzhou prefecture told ucanews.com that authorities were becoming more cunning, acting in secretive ways and stating that workers had accidentally destroyed crosses.",

"Specific figures on the number of church crosses removed this year have been concealed, the Protestant leader said.\n\nWatch citizen video of the fire engulfing the cross above.\n\nA church official from Henan's Luoyang Diocese, who wanted to remain anonymous, told ucanews.com that the old town church, belonging to the underground Catholic community, was asked by local authorities more than a month ago to demolish its cross within a week.\n\nThere was a warning that if this request was not followed, the government would take it down anyway.\n\nThe Luoyang Diocese official believes the aim was to force the underground church to register as a venue for religious activities.\n\nHowever, he noted that despite the deadline passing, authorities had still not carried out their threat.\n\nYing, from the Divinity School in Hong Kong said, time would tell as to whether cross removals have spread to more provinces.\n\nThere had yet been no such action in places such as Jiangsu and Fujian, two major provinces with sizable Christian populations.\n\nBut he added that the overall strategy of the Communist Party and the state was increasingly hostile to the practice of religion.\n\nYing also believed an announced tightening of regulations governing religious affairs was already having an effect, especially regarding the growth of Christianity.\n\nAuthorities in Henan province released a document in July stressing that religious organizations would not be allowed to run Sunday schools or summer camps.\n\nAlthough official statistics are not available, there are indications that the Christian population in Henan province is the second highest in the country after Zhejiang province."

"Sciadopitys verticullata, commonly known as the Japanese Umbrella Pine, is unique in that it is the only member of its genus. It is from the family of evergreens called Sciadopityaceae. As the name suggests, it is native to Japan in mixed middle altitudes at about five hundred meters to a thousand meters tall, in clouded forests with high rainfall and humidity. It grows well in most lights, full or partial sunlight or shaded areas, but does not tolerate very high temperatures well; in such climates, it would prefer small amounts of shade. Its ideal soil is slightly acidic.",
null,
"Its name is indicative of both the region where it grows and its leaf taxonomy. The tree has two different kinds of leaves; mature leaves are dimorphic. There are scale leaves, which are the true leaves; and the leaves that occur at the ends of the shoots in whorls, which conduct photosynthesis. Its true leaves appear interspersed on the branches in a random pattern, and are small and scaly. Its photosynthetic leaves, which are thin slightly flattered needles, are arranged in whorls that grow at the ends of branches. Each whorl contains about twenty to thirty soft, flattened, pliable, dark green needles that average to be about six to thirteen centimeters long, two to three",
null,
"millimeters wide and one millimeter thick. They also have a prominent mid-line groove on both sides. The whorls of the needles are arranged at the end of the branches so that they resemble the ribs on an umbrella. The leaf whorls are alive for approximately three to four years before they regenerate.",
null,
"Its bark is a thick, soft red-brown colour with a stringy texture. Its wood presents distinct growth rings, and its heartwood is distinctively coloured. The wood has a distinct “spicy” smell and taste. It has tracheids with without alternate nor opposite bordered pits; without pit-border thickenings. Axial parenchyma is absent in the wood, as well as ray tracheids (occur very rarely). Normal vertical resin ducts are also absent.\n\nS. verticullata often grows to be about twenty to thirty feet tall with a spread of about fifteen to twenty feet, but there have been documented cases of trees growing to ninety feet tall in Japan. It is a slow growing tree, often only growing four to five feet in its first ten years of growth. Also, it tends to be more dense and narrow when it is young with an overall pyramidal shape, and then open up with age, with a moderate density of the branching. The canopy is overall symmetric in its pyramidal shape with a regular or relatively smooth outline.\n\nIt is a cone-bearing tree, with ovulate cones approximately four inches in length. The cones have scales that appear thick and chunky. The cones do not often grow on young plants; they initially emerge green and remain so for a year, then in the second year they mature and darken to a brown colour. The cones are fragile and disintegrate soon after the cones release their seeds. Ovules for the tree occur in female cones and they each produce about five to nine ovules. Pollen is produced in male cones, in terminal, compact clusters. There are approximately five to nine pollen sacs per microsporophyll. Its seeds prefer to settle in small gaps of the forest floor rich in minerals. It is also possible for the tree to grow from cuttings.\n\nMultiple varieties of the Japanese Umbrella Pine exist. There is the “Aurea”, the “Ossorio Gold” and “Ann Haddow” which can be distinguished by their more golden needles. The “Variegata” is unique in that it has green and yellow needles. The “Jim Cross” is a version that only grows to be about 10 feet tall and the “Pendula” is distinguishable by its unusual weeping branches. Finally, the “Windergree” has bright green foliage and plastic-looking.\n\nDue to the slow growth rate of the tree, populations are declining in their natural habitat due to human uses. However, due to their natural beauty, many people enjoy putting them in their gardens. They are mostly enjoyed for their ornamental purposes, as specimen plants. In Japan, the wood is used for making boats, and the bark for caulking (process of sealing joints or seams in structures and some types of piping, for example, in wooden boats). It is also one of the “Five trees of Kiso” treated as sacred in Japan. Due to the fact that they can be grown from cuttings, they can also be used to create bonsais."

"When I think back on all the trips I’ve taken, I think Paris might be the first food-focused trip. LeeAnne and I went for Valentine’s Day weekend in 2008 (only because Air Canada was offering a deal on flights out of Toronto). Everyone I knew thought it was going to be proposal time, since we’d been dating for a while—what could be more romantic than Valentine’s Day in Paris?—but I was more concerned with eating and, if we’re honest, paying my respects to Jim Morrison’s grave. Now that is romantic.\n\nWhile we did see all the tourist sites—The Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre, Notre Dame, Shakespeare & Co bookstore, Père Lachaise cemetary, and the Eiffel Tower on actual Valentine’s Day (the line of nervous-looking men waiting to get to the top to propose kept us from getting in line to go up; well, that and my fear of heights)—the most important part, as it always is in France, was the food. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this trip pre-dated our obsession with taking pictures of everything we ate.\n\nLe Timbre: French for “the stamp,” because the place is the size of a postage stamp, Le Timbre was one of the highlights of our trip. The place has 24 seats and, when we were there, employed a single server and the chef. The food was well worth the stop, and was very affordable at about 36 euros for the basic tasting menu. I remember the mushroom soup being particularly good.",

"Open-Air Market: Being 10 years ago and not having a lot of pictures, all I can say is that we waltzed through an open-air market at one point and picked up some items for lunch in a park, which I would highly recommend if you ever find yourself in Paris. Crusty bread, some pate, and fresh goat cheese were perfect for a cold February afternoon. Until then I hadn’t liked goat cheese much, and this was the moment that it clicked for me.\n\nPierre Hermé: This was my first experience with macarons, and I guess waiting in line and getting them from the master probably ruined me on them, but these little guys were another eye-opening moment in Paris. I remember white truffle standing out to me (as I was—and really still am—quite the truffle slut).\n\nA La Biche Au Bois: As I will get around to writing about, I’ve been lucky enough to eat at a lot of great places in my life, some of them ranked among the best restaurants in the world (and one making #1 in 2017). Of all the fancy places I’ve eaten, and all the dives, and all the streetcorners, and all the bars, the coq au vin at A La Biche Au Bois stands out as the single best dish I’ve ever eaten. It is my death row meal, the one I think about most, and a meal I would fly to Paris to eat and then fly immediately back. The stew was served in a dented-up old pot in a restaurant we were crowded into, but it was fucking amazing. I can’t even describe the way it makes me feel, which may have to do with nostalgia and the time and place, but I fantasize about this meal. I recommend it to everyone who ever goes to Paris, and I recommend it to you when you go. Don’t skip the mashed potatoes, and I hear the chocolate mousse is to die for (I don’t like chocolate). We stuffed ourselves so much LeeAnne couldn’t button her coat on the way out—in February.\n\nBut we still got a crêpe on the way back to the hotel. Because that’s what you do in Paris.\n\nWok Week, grand finale! Tonight was deep frying in the wok: Chongqing-style dry fried chicken (p441) and fried Brussels sprouts with fish sauce, shallots, and chiles (p429). Both a worthy way to finish the week and utterly repeatable recipes.\n@kenjilopezalt’s The Wok week, day 5: Pico’s Not-So-Bland Chicken (p80). This was my first time velveting chicken, and the texture turned out great. Can’t wait to do it again!\nWok Week, day 4! Celebrating @kenjilopezalt’s The Wok. Today is Bang Bang Chicken (p569) with a Sichuan smashed cucumber salad (p615). Another one that wasn’t technically cooked in a wok, but was delicious. The “mysterious flavor sauce” on the chicken could go on just about everything. And will.\nWok Week, day 3! Spicy shirataki noodle and cucumber salad (p335). This is a cold dish, so technically no wok was used, but it was still delicious. So good that I didn’t even notice it was shirataki noodles - and I’m not usually a fan of alternative noodles. This sauce will go great with a lot of things.\nWok Week, Night 2: went simple with the Shanghai-style sesame noodles (p323). Simple, but still delicious. You can’t see the chili oil mixture underneath the fresh what noodles, but boy was it there.\nWok Week, night 1! To celebrate @emmapoppin sending me a signed copy of @kenjilopezalt’s The Wok, I’m making recipes from it all this week. Tonight is gong bao ji ding (p64). Made sure all my prep was done in advance and the wok fan was ready to go. First night was a success."

"Forecasting from Sea to Shore (Part 1): Learning from the past\n\nPosted on April 10, 2014 by michaeldcranston\n\nIn a winter that witnessed a succession of storms that have affected many parts of the UK, calls are being made to understand what lessons should be learnt in order to be better prepared for future storms. Given the longevity and subsequent severity of the impacts across some parts of southern Britain, it’s easy to forget that the first affects of the winter storms were seen as far back as early December in Scotland with some of the highest coastal water levels on record.",
null,
"Flooding of the sea front in Oban (Source: Twitter/@mairiwatson1)\n\nIn the early hours of the 5th December a storm hit north west Scotland resulting in a significant tidal surge which travelled down the east coast of Scotland. Commercial properties in Oban were the first to be impacted by flooding, followed by issues in Inverness, the Moray coastline, Aberdeen, the Firth of Forth and in Eyemouth, which witnessed their worst flooding in decades. The United Kingdom Coastal Monitoring and Forecasting group (UKCMF) commissioned a study to record basic statistics and facts relating to the recent coastal storms. One of the notable peak water level statistics was recorded at Leith with a peak of 3.71 metres above ordnance datum (associated surge level of 1m) being the largest on record and correlating to the magnitude of some of the impacts along the east coast.\n\nBut were we prepared for a storm of this magnitude?\n\nIt was the tragic deaths in Uist in the severe storms of 2005 that previously brought coastal flood risk into political and public focus. The ‘Coastal Flooding in Scotland’ scoping report recognised the benefits of flood warning in the coastal zone and emerging warning strategies started placing greater demands on a developing coastal forecasting science area. This has subsequently led to a number of significant developments which were tested during the recent floods.",
null,
"New coastal flood forecasting systems have been introduced including a system that underpins warnings along the east coast for urban centres such as Dundee, Kirkcaldy and Grangemouth – these typically benefit from 12 to 24 hours warning. This system is supported by much closer integration of meteorological models forecasting onshore impacts such as the UK4 wave model. However, as the demand for longer forecast times grow, so does the uncertainty in flood predictions. The emergence of ensembles of surge predictions out to 7 days is allowing the flood forecaster to quantify the uncertainty in the forecast and – in the case of December – issue guidance to emergency responders 4 to 5 days in advance of the flooding.\n\nThe new forecasting capabilities in the south east did lead to a greater level of awareness of the emerging flood risk as we entered December. SEPA’s Floodline service had an incredibly busy spell with thousands of direct messages being issued to customers of the service however the true magnitude of the hazard may not have been realised until after the event.\n\nThis entry was posted in Coastal, Forecasting, Probabilistic, Risk communication. Bookmark the permalink.\n\n4 Responses to Forecasting from Sea to Shore (Part 1): Learning from the past"

"Last evening, I attended a concert in a perfectly renovated hundred-and-fifty-year-old church in my home town. We sat at ninety-degree angles on stiff wood benches, huddled together inside that beautiful and ornate old building listening to a musical group that calls itself LaNef.\n\nThe men on stage (on the altar), seven in all, were there to perform sea songs and shanties in the purest tradition of the sailors of the Atlantic (with the exception of the song Rolling Down to Old Maui).\n\nIn the evening’s program, I read: “Our goal here tonight is to present these songs, not only as they have always been sung, but also as music to be listened to. It is no small challenge to drag these pieces, tar-stained and tattered, into the concert hall. We hope to give you something new to listen to in these pieces.”\n\nThey sure did. Reverberating off the wooden walls and arches of an old church, those songs take possession of you, swirl around inside your head and chest and squeeze your heart. And you find yourself awash in feelings and images from a world of groaning wooden ships and motley crews of men, and the cold, grey, salty sea with waves crashing and rolling, and gales blowing mercilessly, and the men chilled to the bone and hanging on for dear life.\n\nThose seven men up on the stage sang and played their hearts out, and what they sang was beautiful, funny and sometimes tender but of course it was also about the punishing harshness of being at sea and living that life—a thousand years ago, and today. Which is why their songs made me laugh and made me want to cry as they transported me away from my own, comfortable world.\n\nIt was easy for me to let go and follow them, because a hidden part of me has been living among large cargo ships and frosty air for months now. First, there’s been my son Jeremy’s life with his new employer: a large ocean-going dry-bulk shipping company, and his frequent travels to board and inspect his company’s fleet. Last July, Jeremy opened an unforeseen door in his brother Christian’s life when he made it possible for Christian to take a three-month contract working as the Boarding Clerk on behalf of the same company, at the port built by its business partner, a corporation that mines iron ore in Milne Inlet, Baffin Island, Canada.\n\nBefore leaving for his hundred-day stint at the “sixth northernmost community on Earth” (his words), Christian spent a day with Jeremy, inspecting a ship berthed here in Quebec, meeting the mostly Indian crew, and slowly catching the scent of the distinctive culture and language of the life of mariners. This hundred-day Arctic contract was an opportunity to make some serious money—the life of a young actor and writer is precarious—and seemed like it would be a hell of an adventure.\n\nChristian left for Milne Inlet on July 19th, and arrived at his temporary new home —well within the Arctic Circle and separated from Greenland on its northern side by Baffin Bay—on the 20th. Nothing he had done previously to get himself ready (buying lots of extra warm clothes, a pair of indestructible-waterproof-extreme-cold-resistant-protective-steel-capped-boots, a good camera, and several pairs of sunglasses for the days of endless sunlight) made any kind of dent in the reality of living in an Arctic mining camp.\n\nNone of it made Christian a sailor. He’s spent these last three months of his life at the mining port, working alongside his superior, Captain P, a veteran seaman, hardened by years of often thankless and even dangerous work and crushing responsibility; alpha down to his bone marrow and surefooted whatever the conditions, both inside and outside the port’s office.\n\nChristian won’t have become a sailor, because the extent of his travel upon the surface of the water was the distance between the tugboats he sailed almost daily and the ships at anchor further off in the Inlet that he had to board in order to begin the endless amounts of paperwork that were his responsibility.\n\nBut he will have smelled the brackish water of the inlet daily, and grown fond of it. He’ll have discovered that he’s as steady as any member of any deck crew when it comes to climbing the gangway to board a cargo ship, and looked forward to each and every visit. On the worst, choppy, heavy, restless days at Milne Inlet, he’ll have found his sea legs aboard the tossing and tilting tugboat, and been proud of it. And he will have grown to admire the mariners he had the honour of meeting with every boarding.\n\nWhen he finally does arrive back home after a hundred days of endless work and ruined circadian rhythms, having lived with miners and truckers, cooks, cleaners and stevedores, engineers and technicians—all male and all constantly counting off the days till their two-week rotations ended and they could head home for an equal number of days off— Christian, standing by and watching them come and go while he stayed put, will have peered, as through a porthole, into the lives of the men on each and every ship that entered Milne Inlet, duty bound to fill her holds with iron ore, their destinies linked to their ship’s, all of them a long, long way from home, and perhaps only a few weeks into a six or ten-month round-trip.\n\nHe may feel a kinship with the Russian, Indian, Finnish and Filipino seamen whose lives intersected with his at the frigid top of the world.\n\nI think if Christian had been with me at the concert last night, he, perhaps more than anyone else in the church, would have been moved by the tar-stained and tattered sea songs and shanties of his brothers in spirit.\n\nOne thought on “TAR-STAINED AND TATTERED”"

But for anybody that wants to play competitively they know that using the proper air hockey strategy is key to victory. But what exactly goes into finding the right strategy for your style of gameplay so that you can win as often as possible?\n\nQuite a lot, actually! You need to have a great understanding of game fundamentals like posture and grip.

"The first thing that you need to pay close attention to is how you are holding your striker Trusted Source Air hockey - Wikipedia A striker (sometimes called a goalie, mallet or paddle) consists of a simple handle attached to a flat surface that will usually lie flush with the surface of the table. en.wikipedia.org . Most players, especially those who have no idea what they are doing, will usually use their palm and grip the top with their entire hand. While this might seem like the most comfortable way to hold the paddle, it is also the most limiting.\n\nProfessional players and those who have more experience in the world of air hockey usually hold the paddle in one of two ways. They either place all of their fingers in the raised ring behind the center of the paddle or put two behind the middle with the index and ring on either side. Both of these grips give you better control of the paddle and allow for more flexibility in your wrist. This action will make it so you can hit harder and more accurate shots. It also has the added benefit of not letting your opponent know where you are going to strike next since you can literally go any direction that you choose.\n\nOnce you have the right grip and posture, it is time to go on the offensive! Offensive tactics are those that you will use to try to score points on your opponent. These strategies range from conservative to risky, which will allow you to tailor your skills to your preferred playing style.\n\nThe very first type of shot that you want to practice in your offensive game is the straight shot. While the name implies that you are going to be using this shot to go straight at your opponent, that is not necessarily the case. The name actually refers to how you need to hit the puck.\n\nWhen watching inexperienced players, you will start to notice that they use a lot of sweeping motions that hit the puck from the side. This is a lot of wasted energy and translates into slower shots. The straight shot dictates that you hit the puck straight from the back in the direction you want it to go.\n\nNo matter if you are aiming straight for the goal or to the side for a bank shot, you should always be hitting the puck straight from that back. That way, you will have tons of power and control over where the puck goes.\n\nAs the name implies, this shot is one where you aim for the wall and attempt to bank the puck into your opponent’s net. This shot is one of the better weapons to include in your arsenal since it is really hard to follow and difficult for an opposing player to follow the puck. You just need to make sure that you hit the puck from the back in the direction that you wish it to travel. It is also a good idea to spend time practicing this move before an actual game so that you can get a better understanding of the different angles you can use to get the puck in the net-based its position on the table.\n\nThis shot is a bit trickier to handle, so you will definitely want to practice it beforehand at a lower speed. Basically, with the one-two shot, you are trying to make it look as though the puck is out of control. To do this, you aim to bank it deeply off of the corner in your opponent’s side of the table and right back to you. As it careens back towards you at high speed, you need to strike it quickly back towards your opponent’s net to, hopefully, score a goal.\n\nWith the casting cut, you need to first have possession of the puck. From there, you gently start to play it to one corner of your opponent’s side of the table. As it’s moving in this direction, you then quickly strike it towards the other, aiming to bank the puck into the goal. This shot works especially well during a lull in the action. The slower pace of the first part of the sot should lure the other player into a false sense of security that will allow for the second shot to hit pay dirt.\n\nAs the name implies, this shot is one that really gets the puck moving. It is very similar to the one-two, though it is a bit more complex. For this shot, you are aiming to bank it twice in one of your opponent’s corners, back to you, bank it twice in your corners, and then strike it towards the goal. This is definitely one that you will want to practice a bit before employing in a game. If you can master it, though, it is almost a certainty that other players won’t be able to follow it, making it easier for you to score goals.\n\nNow that you know how to score on your opponents, it is time to check into air hockey strategies to keep the puck out of your goal. These tactics are sure to give opposing players fits, so pay close attention to become the stingiest player that you can be.\n\nDon’t hold the mallet too close to your goal\n\nIn any type of game where there is a goal, the last thing that you want to do is get too close to it. This could make you much less maneuverable, which will limit how you have to play any shots from opposing players. It also opens you up to the possibility of accidentally hitting the puck into your own net. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing a puck sail right off your mallet and in thanks to a well-placed bank shot from the other player.\n\nOne of the ways to defend against pretty much any type of shot is the triangle strategy. This involves placing your striker in front of the net, but up a bit. You should usually be between the two dots in your own zone. This creates a triangle of protection behind your paddle that will allow you to easily deflect your opponent’s shots from getting anywhere near your net. It also gives you the flexibility you need to move to stop any type of shot from getting to your goal.\n\nKeep track of the puck\n\nSomething else that will help you to defend properly is learning to track the puck. This means that you are following the path of the puck with your eyes but also with your paddle. When it comes into your zone, you want to move the paddle with it to blunt its momentum so that you can regain possession of the puck. This will allow you to switch from defense to offense, making it impossible for the other player to score any points.\n\nGet yourself the right equipment\n\nHaving the right tactics is, unfortunately, only one piece of the puzzle. The second thing that you have to think about in air hockey is the type of equipment that you possess. In a game as fast-paced as this, every little bit helps, so it is a good idea to get the best tools that you can to help guarantee your victory.\n\nIf you are looking to start playing professionally or you just want to become a master, the first thing that you need to make sure you get is a good table. There are lots of different models on the market, so you need to make sure you get one that matches your playing style and maximizes your skills as a player. A smaller table is better for fast players with quick reaction times, while a larger table fits perfectly with someone that loves to use banks and strategies to put up points on other players. According to most reviews, the Gold Standard Games Home Pro Elite, designed by USAA world champions, is by far one of the most reliable and time-proven ones that will allow you to harness every trick of the trade to beat any and all-comers.\n\nMany times when you get a new table, it will come with pucks and paddles. That doesn’t mean, however, that they are high-quality or should be counted on to help you improve your skills. Don’t be afraid to explore the market a bit. There are lots of different paddles that will allow for faster or slower play, based on what strategy you prefer as a player. You also want to make sure that you have the right pucks as well. Dynamo remains the most popular name in the industry, especially when it comes to air hockey accessories. Their pucks sets are always made of the sturdiest plastic and therefore are widely used on commercial tables.\n\nWhen it comes to winning in a game of air hockey, there are a ton of different ways that you can go. You can play a defensive game by setting up the triangle and tracking the puck well to stop your opponents from scoring any goals. Or you can always try to go on the offensive and use straight shots, bank shots, or different trick shots to befuddle your foe until they fall to your skills. No matter how you decide to go about it, just make sure that you have the right table and tools to go along with the proper air hockey strategy so that you have the greatest possibility of winning as many matches as possible. Good luck, and keep practicing!\n\n1.\nAir hockey - Wikipedia\nA striker (sometimes called a goalie, mallet or paddle) consists of a simple handle attached to a flat surface that will usually lie flush with the surface of the table.\nen.wikipedia.org"

"It is that time of year when we begin to wonder if a State Budget will be in place on or before the date that it is supposed to be finalized by. That final date is this Thursday, May 31 and by the looks and sounds of things, we may enter into the fiscal year with a budget (or maybe not).\n\nThe Chamber legislative committee hosted the annual Springfield Drive-Down back on May 9 and we walked away with some encouraging news, at least more than in previous years. Our main discussions focused on the State Budget and Transportation. We met with Governor Rauner, Senate President Cullerton, Senate Minority Leader Brady, House Minority Leader Durkin, Senator Bertino-Tarrant, Senator McGuire, Senator Rezin, Representative Manley, Representative Walsh Jr., Representative Batinick, and Representative McDermed. In addition, we received an update from Illinois Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Todd Maisch and were able to meet and hear from both Attorney General Candidates (Sen. Kwame Raoul and Erika Harold).\n\nWe held very productive meetings on numerous topics and as stated before, heard some encouraging news concerning ongoing discussions on the budget. Both sides have been in discussions on revenue estimates and when the deadline hits, we may see a last minute budget deal struck as things have been a little quiet which hopefully means things are moving forward.\n\nAs far as transportation and infrastructure the news was both positive and negative. The negative side comes from the lack of funding to deal with our ever increasing regional needs. Every lawmaker that we spoke to acknowledges (that’s the positive – all agree the region needs help) that our area is in dire need of upgrades and expansion. However, all also agree that there just is not any funding in current forms to take care of these needs. Governor Rauner has asked us to keep him informed on regional ideas that can aid in the process of taking care of these needs.\n\nWe spoke about a legal way out of the pension unfunded liabilities, a continuing need for an increase in education funding without pension shift to local districts, the threat of a progressive income tax on one of the few positive incentives to do business in Illinois, a reduction in the Dept. of Revenue 2% administration fee to local municipalities, and incentives for boosting the economy and local workforce. We continue to advocate for changes in workers’ compensation in the areas of causation, traveling employees, minimum wage replacement, and maximum awards. Finally, we discussed the issue of recreational marijuana and how businesses need to absolutely have a seat at the discussion table if and when legalization becomes a reality. There are strong concerns for workplace policies and testing in the event this goes through.\n\nHere is a list of legislation that we are tracking and a number of these items were able to be discussed during our meetings:\n\nFirst up, HB 4163 (Wage History) passed out of the Senate Labor Committee last week and is now on third reading. This bill would prohibit employers from inquiring about salary and wage history by adding new standards that limit employer defenses and adding new compensatory and punitive damage penalties on businesses who are not compliant. The Chamber opposes this bill and would prefer the alternative method outline in SB 3100. SB 3100 only prohibits the inquiry about or using of a job applicant’s wage, salary, and benefits history. It does not diminish employer defenses or enhance and expand legal remedies and fines as HB 4163 does.\n\nIllinois manufacturers employ 570,000 workers and contribute the single largest share of the Gross State Product. However, Illinois lags behind other states in terms of growth. One tax proposal (SB 3453) offers comprehensive reform that will reinstate the Manufacturers Purchase Credit, modernize and make permanent the Research & Development Credit, and reinstate the Training Expense Credit. A second bill (SB 3303) would create the Manufacturing Destination Tax Credit creating a 25 percent tax credit on labor, apprentice, and job training costs for employers that provide good, middle-class jobs with benefits.\n\nSB 2332 passed out of the House Health & Healthcare Disparities Committee on a party line vote. This bill would raise the age to purchase tobacco products to 21. The Chamber opposes this legislation as it punishes businesses for the decisions of individuals.\n\nSB 3005 has been sent back to Assignments. This could see an amendment before the end of session. The bill, in regards to Illinois permitting processes, would further increase the cost of doing business in Illinois, hampering the growth and development of businesses throughout Illinois and new businesses looking to locate in Illinois.\n\nSB 2577 mirrors the South Dakota law before the U.S. Supreme Court in the Wayfair case. Provides, beginning January 1, 2019, that an out-of-state retailer is required to charge and collect Illinois Use Tax on sales to Illinois customers if the company makes either 200 sales into Illinois or has gross receipts from Illinois sales of at least $100,000 in a year. If the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of SD and abolishes the current physical presence requirement from the 1992 Quill case this law will be enforceable. If the court upholds the physical presence requirement it will not be enforceable. The bill has passed the Senate and is in rules committee in the House.\n\nSB 1502, otherwise known as the “Right to Know” bill, the bill as currently drafted would require websites and online services to post a privacy policy identifying the categories of personal information they collect and respond to consumer requests for all categories of personal information that was disclosed. This bill applies to any information that “identifies, relates to, or describes” an individual. It includes things like a person’s name, address, or photograph, but also “deidentified” or anonymous information such as “alias, nickname, and user name,” or IP addresses. The bill sits in the House\n\nHB 5253 requires regulatory agencies to examine, and report on the impact new rules will have on small businesses. This should remove unnecessary barriers to small business success. This bill now awaits the Governor’s signature after passing both the House and Senate with bipartisan support.\n\nSB 2436 is a bill to help small businesses by amending the antiquated Liquor Control Act of 1934. By updating this outdated statute, which prohibits the sale of alcohol within 100 feet of a religious institution, school, hospital or military station, local communities would now be empowered by shifting the oversight of liquor licensing exemptions to local officials rather than the General Assembly. Following unanimous passage in the Senate, SB 2436 now awaits a floor vote in the House.\n\nHB 5046 Creates the Fair Scheduling Act that would require employers to provide work schedules to employees at least 72 hours before the start of the first shift of the work schedule. It provides for reporting pay when an employee’s work shift is canceled or reduced within 72 of the beginning of the shift. It also prohibits retaliation by employers when employees seek to enforce rights under the Act. Authorizes private actions for damages and provides for monetary penalties.\n\nFormer Senator and Chamber Board Chair, A.J. Wilhelmi spoke to Chamber members on May 23 as he is now the President/CEO of the Illinois Health & Hospital Association. Mr. Wilhelmi drove home the point that taxing local hospitals hurts the communities they serve and diverts dollars that could be used to care for patients, to upgrade equipment, modernize facilities, and hire needed staff. 43% of Hospitals in Illinois are operating with slim or negative margins. Hospitals and medical offices are also strong economic drivers in their communities, generating billions annually for their local and state economies as well as employing more than a quarter of a million people.\n\nOn May 14 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the banning of Sports Betting is illegal and opens up the possibility for states to take up legislation to make a reality outside of Nevada. While in Springfield, we urged lawmakers to be proactive with legislation waiting for such a ruling rather than being reactive and falling behind our neighboring states. SB 7 recently failed to move forward on adding additional casino licenses which the Chamber opposes as over 20,000 video gaming terminals have been added in the last few years which equates to over 15 new casinos.\n\nPresident Trump on May 24 signed a bipartisan bill to loosen key portions of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, cementing the first major changes to President Obama’s landmark banking law. While the bill will release dozens of banks from stronger Federal Reserve oversight, it falls well short of the president’s vow to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank. The final compromise leaves most of Dodd-Frank in place. The measure releases community and regional banks from tighter regulation by raising the threshold for closer Fed oversight from $50 billion to $250 billion in assets. Banks below the new threshold will no longer be automatically subject to annual Fed stress tests and capital buffers meant to protect large firms from severe financial crises. Those banks are also no longer required to from submit for Fed approval a “living will” that outlines how a bank’s assets could be liquidated upon the firm’s failure without causing a widespread meltdown. The bill includes several provisions to scrap rules for community banks and credit unions. Firms that hold 500 or fewer mortgages a year will no longer have to report some home loan data to federal regulators under anti-discrimination laws. Trump said the rollbacks would help community banks and credit unions become “vibrant and strong,” insisting years of overregulation had suffocated small firms.\n\nFinally, Congress could be ready to bring up Immigration over the summer before the mid-term elections. Also, tariffs on steel and aluminum have been in play and we look for your feedback on how these issues would affect your business."

"We were busy with the transcript of Alex’s martial arts interview of last week, when we stumbled upon some beautiful footage of Alex from back in December 2018. It seems like it involves Alex’s great love for martial arts and also the indigenous people of Hawaii\n\n(We had to rely on internet translations – so some of the dialogue and correct names might be lost in translation. And we know nothing of the terminology used with swords)",

With only a limited number of people, we were able to spend a very meaningful time with Navy Shields members of the Navy Special Forces and Peace Force Security of the Hawaii independent country participating.\n\nMr. Tanaka’s technique is a movement that has been cultivated in battle on the battlefield, and even if there is a slight deviation, it will be cut by the return of a knife or dagger, so it is a very accurate technique.\n\nIn contrast to ordinary army manual fighting, which is very rough and physical action using force, Mr. Tanaka’s technique is very functional, including control of fist, and it is said that God dwells felt.\n\nI also trained Kodachi. Kodachi is directly connected to physical arts, and I felt that the level of physical arts had improved.\n\nBesides practicing, I had my friend Alex’s sword examined, and Dr. Terao also taught me how to do cane late at night.

"He explains the types of swords in Japanese.🇯🇵\nIt is a type of Japanese sword called a “wakizashi”.\nHe says that his sword is of the short type, and if this is a “kodachi” then it’s the proper length.\nNormally, a “wakizashi” is said to be about 45 centimeters long.🇯🇵\n\n#2) It Was Invented During the Kamakura Period\n\nLike the katana, the kodachi was invented sometime during Japan’s Kamakura period (1185 to 1333). This period was defined by the ruling shogunate as well as the emergence of the samurai class. Japan experienced a constant wave of invasions during the Kamakura period, prompting the government to develop new weapons like the kodachi.\n\n#3) It Was Used as Secondary Weapon\n\nSamurai warriors carried the kodachi as a secondary weapon. During feudal Japan, it was customary — and even required by law — for samurai warriors to carry two weapons: a long sword and a short sword. With a blade length of less than 23 inches, the kodachi as the perfect side weapon for this purpose. Samurai warriors could easily carry it on their waist, from which they could quickly draw it when needed.\n\n#4) It’s Often Confused With the Wakizashi\n\nThe kodachi is often confused with the wakizashi because of their similarities. But there’s one major difference between these two traditional Japanese swords that shouldn’t be overlooked. The kodachi was forged for a single samurai warrior, whereas the wakizashi was forged using standard measurements and specifications. As a result, many samurai warriors preferred the kodachi, as it was designed specifically for their unique needs, featuring the ideal length and construction.\n\n#5) It Was Available to Citizens\n\nDuring Japan’s Edo period, the government established a new law restricting the ownership of swords measuring longer than 24 inches to samurai warriors. Because the kodachi was shorter than 24 inches, it didn’t fall under this new law. As a result, even citizens could own the kodachi — and many did for the purpose of self- and home defense. The kodachi allowed ordinary citizens to protect their property, family and themselves against invaders and criminals.\n\n15 responses to “#AlexOLoughlin and His Sword”"

"Cardinals Trail the Seahawks 10-7 at the Half",
null,
"Penalties and self-inflicted wounds killed the Cardinals’ hopes of taking a first half lead against the Seattle Seahawks.\n\nAfter right guard Will Hernandez limped off the field with a chest injury, Arizona had a total of three backups in the interior line positions.\n\nThese injuries played a massive role in the offensive struggles in the first half. Bad snaps by the center, Billy Price, along with a handful of false starts, cost the Cardinals chances of stringing together long drives.\n\nArizona scored their first opening drive touchdown since Week 13 of the 2021 season. It was a 22-yard touchdown catch by DeAndre Hopkins that gave the Cardinals a rare first-quarter lead.\n\nHowever, this lead did not stick as the Seahawks responded quickly with a touchdown of their own. A dropped interception in the endzone from Byron Murphy was capitalized on by DK Metcalf with a 4-yard touchdown catch. This touchdown capped off a 12 play, 79-yard drive.\n\nFollowing the touchdown reception, defenses took control and offenses were held at a deadlock. Just like the last time these two teams faced off, neither of the offenses could find any sort of constant success.\n\nAt the end of the first half, the Cardinals trail the Seahawks 10-7. Kyler Murray went 14-19 passing for 101 yards and a touchdown.\n\nFrom the ground, Murray ran the ball five times for 44 yards, but it was a fumble that stood out more than anything. With only 17 seconds left on the clock, Murray escaped the pocket on a 4th down attempt. Yet instead of tying the game going into the half, Murray lost the football, leading to a Seahawks recovery and another failed drive."

"While most urban constructions sit upon a rock, Matera is a city that seems like an organic growth of the rock. Urban dwellings are carved into the ravine and protrude from the cliff face creating a jumbling, patchwork mass. It is difficult to discern where rock finishes and man-made construction begins. In this lattice of construction, the roof of one structure forms the foundation for another. A honeycomb of caves can be seen both within the city and across a deep gorge on another cliff face where dark gaps blot the green in a crooked line. These are thought to be some of the most ancient inhabited dwellings in the world, dating from paleolithic times.",

Later filmed in Matera, in Christ Stopped at Eboli Carlo Levi wrote about the poverty and squalor of Southern Italy, an area where residents felt they had been “bypassed by Christianity, by morality, by history itself”. Francesco Rosi was enchanted by Matera’s abandoned caves and used them in his film adaptation of Levi’s book. In 2004 Matera became Jerusalem for Mel Gibson’s The Passion of Christ, where the dusty, barren landscape and crumbling, rough-hewn stone houses evoke the suffering of Christ.",

"I Sassi: From National Shame to a World Heritage Site\n\nThe prehistoric cave dwellings, called sassi, were still in use as houses until the mid 1950s. Far from being romantic ancient homes, these sassi were considerably below inhabitable standards. Those located across the gorge were, and remain, accessible only by a steep perilous track up the ravine. With poor sanitation, animals living beside humans, and a high infant mortality rate, the sassi were considered a national disgrace in the post-war period.Carlo Levi describes his impressions:\n\n“The doors were open because of the heat, I looked through: and I saw the inside of the grottos which do not receive light or air except from the door. Some do not even have that: you enter from above, through trapdoors and ladders… Inside these blacks holes with earthen walls I saw the beds, the miserable furnishings, the hanging rags. Dogs, sheep, goats, and pigs were lying on the floor. Each family usually has one of those caves for habitation and they all sleep together, men, women, children, and animals. There was an infinite number of children, naked or in rags. I saw children sitting in the doorway of the houses, in the dirt, in the scorching sun, with half-closed eyes and red and swollen eyelids… young faces wrinkled like the elderly and skeletal with hunger, their hair full of lice and scabs. Thin women with malnourished and dirty infants and clinging to their withered breasts, I seemed to be in the middle of a city hit by the plague. ” (Carlo Levi, Christ Stopped at Eboli, 1945)",

"With the government determined to find a quick solution to this shameful situation, residents were relocated to modern homes in outlying districts and for many years the caves were abandoned and forgotten, out of sight and out of mind. But with the steady trickle of enraptured film directors came a new appreciation of this surreal urban landscape. By 1993, the sassi had been recognised and designated as a World Heritage Site, and in 2008 Matera won the title of European Capital of Culture 2019. See the emotional video here of the moment the winning city was announced. Since the late 80s, therefore, sassi within the urban area began to undergo a transformation into livable, or at least usable, structures. As such, there are even a few people who can claim they live in the same house as ancestors of 9,000 years ago.\n\nFurthermore, the sassi comprise not just houses, but also churches, monasteries and hermitages. The rocky plateau, as described in the UNESCO listing, “integrated with ancient cave churches, shepherd tracks marked by wells, and fortified farmhouses, form[s] one of the most evocative landscapes of the Mediterranean.” Now open to the public to visit are many of the Rupestrian churches, which combine stark rock with fresco work and interior decoration. Santa Maria de Idris is the most dramatic church, perched at the top of the Sasso Caveoso area and excavated from a misshapen mound of rock. From certain sides it is only identifiable as a church, even as a building, by the metal crucifix adorning a jagged peak of rock. Inside the uneven walls are enlivened with frescoes of saints, many unfortunately severely damaged by damp. These date from as far back as the 11th century, and there are traces all around the church of even older frescoes and decorations in stone.",

"The church of Santa Lucia alle Malve, dating from 9th century A.D., has a more architectonic interior, with crooked arches carved out of the rugged walls, defining a nave and aisles, and traces of columns. The subterranean experience is heightened by the thick green slime coating the walls. The church is filled with frescoes, some housed in crudely excavated niches, dating from 11th to 17th centuries. Traces show that there was likely a much larger decorative scheme.",

"With the influx of tourism, the abandoned sassi are being breathed into life again. One of the most notorious re-imaginings of the cave dwellings has, rather ironically, been a luxury hotel. It is part of the Sextantio group, which owns a few alberghi diffusi, meaning hotels which are composed of several separate buildings within a town context, or even a hotel made from an entire hilltop village. The hotel in Matera, Le Grotte della Civita, is spread across several rocky terraces of caves. From the website, and from peaking inside, the caves are bare and unadorned, and minimally furnished with recycled objects. Certainly it is a relief to finally find an economically orientated organisation that prefers history and heritage to mini-bars and jacuzzi. But it all seems a bit superficial when you see the prices. The hotel is charging as much as 500 euros a night for a room which uses a ladder as a towel rail. It seems the ‘true to the past’ attitude is just a facade for a clever money spinning ploy designed to deceive the rich and stupid using Matera’s fairytale image. Indeed on seeing the ‘luxury’ accommodation in the bare light of day and not evocatively candle-lit as on the website, the word that came to mind was furbo, meaning sneaky or sly.",
null,
"While Matera enchants through its forlornity and fairytale historical integrity, this character will be very difficult to maintain. Currently empty, and therefore untouched, the remaining sassi will likely soon host fashionable bars and restaurants, which cannot function without adapting these ancient dwellings to modern needs. One can only hope the UNESCO heritage legislation is watertight.\n\nLinked up with #TravelTuesday!",

"In which we don’t travel on the Hogwarts express\n\nPosted on September 16, 2014 by memoirsofahusk\n\n‘But I just heard a whistle.’\n\nAnd there’s a very good reason why we can’t see any smoke.\n\nOne weekend a year – yes, just ONE weekend a year, this weekend, the one we are in – the North Yorkshire Moors Railway shunts away its steam engines and holds a diesel gala.\n\nBy this time I have bought the tickets.\n\nAnd I am – to put it mildly – disappointed.\n\nA minute ago I was lapping up the sights and sounds of a vanished world, waiting for our train to whisk us away, chuffing and huffing and puffing up the steep valleys.\n\nWe are in England, after all.\n\nThe café is run by women of a certain age and – by ’eck – the scones look good.\n\nThey are. Hefty, lumpen wodges of currant and raisin and sultana, bound in a floury mixture – and fresh from a spell in the oven. Spread with butter and washed down with the perfect brew.\n\nBy the time the train arrives we’re both recovering nicely.\n\nAmazing what a nice cup of tea and a sit-down will do.",
null,
"The diesel rushes in like a demon, exhaling poisonous vapours.",
null,
"Before we know it we’re excited. Climb into a carriage of individual compartments, pull the door to and settle in, on well-sprung seats, for a ride back in time.\n\nWe’ve opted for tickets that take us one stop beyond our real goal.\n\nWe decided we should take a look at the place where the engines are tended and cared for, where the real contemporary railway meets the fantasy recreation of yesteryear.\n\nThis turns out to be a good move.",
null,

null,
null,
"Men in smart caps wear suits with silver-buttoned waistcoats, white shirts and ties, wave coloured flags. Blow piercing bursts on their whistles as trains chug in – and then chug out again.\n\nWithin minutes of arriving we’re hooked.\n\nA clutter of cameras is trained on a new diesel coming in. Mine included. Unlike everyone else I have no idea what vintage engine it is that I’m recording with my megapixels. But – shh – don’t tell – I am impressed by it.\n\nWe decide to pass on that Yorkshire speciality, pie and peas – and live to regret it. When we return to the next stop back down the line, a place called Goathland, we end up resorting to a ham sandwich.",
null,
"Goathland is meant to be a very special place. And though we try, we just don’t feel the magic. But maybe during term time this most elusive of stations has to put on an ordinary face. You see, this is the stop for Hogwarts School.",
null,
null,
null,
"There’s one little giveaway, way above the kitchen. An owl.\n\nBut there’s not a wizard in sight.",
null,
"One more cup of muggle tea and our (really quite good) sandwiches later, we step out onto the platform hoping for a train pulling the wooden carriages we spied earlier.\n\nWe’re lucky. Heading back down the valley we’re ensconced in splendour in a 1930s coach. Built from wood, with solidly upholstered chairs and leather arms, it has oval mirrors on the walls and connecting doors that Hercule Poirot would have coveted.",
null,
null,
"We decide to spend the last few minutes in the old wooden buffet car, decorated in an unusual shade of blue.\n\nThe tea urn stands resplendent – but out of service – over the counter.",
null,
"The chairs, free-standing silver and blue, speak of a very different time, when ‘health and safety’ was just three words.\n\nWhen travelling was simply like sitting at home, or in a restaurant or hotel lounge, but moving. An experience.\n\nAye. It were a grand day out, after all.",

"S’pore Is World’s Most Fatigued Country Due To Work & Internet, Says Bedding Manufacturer",
null,
"We also have the 2nd-longest working hours.\n\nSingapore Is World’s Most Fatigued Country, Beating Even Japan\n\nIf you have a full-time job in Singapore, chances are it takes up most of your time and energy.\n\nAnd you’ll want to spend any free time you have relaxing.\n\nFor many of us with an Internet connection, that means catching a show on Netflix, gaming, e-shopping or stalking friends on Facebook.\n\nDue to those reasons, Singapore’s been ranked the world’s most fatigued country.\n\nThis dubious distinction was conferred on us by a bedding manufacturer from the United Kingdom (UK).\n\n‘Fatigue score’ generated for each country\n\nUK company Sleepseeker, which has a vested interest in knowing how much time people spend in bed, did the legwork.\n\nThey looked up 4 variables in each of 15 countries:\n\nThey generated a “fatigue score” for each country, which is the average score of the 4 variables based on each variable having a normalised score out of 10.\n\nThe results were revealed in an article in Jul.\n\nSingapore ranked No. 1 for fatigue\n\nSingapore ranked No. 1 for fatigue in a sadly unsurprising development.",
null,
"We outranked even Japan, a nation so famous for having its workers afflicted with “death by overwork” that there’s even a Japanese term for it – karoshi.\n\nAccording to Sleepseeker, Singapore’s status as a “bustling tech hub” with “rapid and widespread urbanisation” leads to us having busy lives.\n\nSingapore ranked No. 2 for working hours\n\nHowever, while it might seem that we’re the most overworked nation in the world, we actually got just 2nd place in terms of working hours.",
null,
"Sleepseeker said those who work long hours might not be able to enjoy themselves even when they’re not at work.\n\nThat’s because they might be too tired or stressed to relax – tell that to bosses who WhatsApp their staff at 11pm on a Sunday.\n\nSingapore ranked No. 3 for time spent on Internet\n\nSingapore also ranked No.3 for time spent on the Internet – racking up 7 hours and 2 minutes on average per day.",
null,
"While some may want to blame the ease of getting online and generally good surfing speeds, one may want to take a leaf from the Japanese.\n\nApparently, Japan spends the least time on the Internet, despite it obviously being a hyper-connected country.\n\nAccording to Sleepseeker, spending a long time staring at a blue light-emitting screen is damaging to sleep.\n\nIt advises Singaporeans to limit the amount of time spent on the Internet to get much better quality sleep.\n\nWhile the study is obviously more for promotional purposes, perhaps it serves as a wake-up call (ironically) to the sleep-deprived.\n\nWe shouldn’t need an article to tell us that we should work less and sleep more – our bodies will feel the strain.\n\nSo maybe we should listen to our bodies more – those who can afford to, power down that computer and prioritise shut-eye."

"“Some songs, you never finish…you let them lie for 20 years, adding a line, changing a verse,” reflects songwriter and guitarist Richard Thompson. “Songs always sound best before you write them, before you get them on paper or into a recording.”\n\nHoning his creations ever closer to their initial spark of inception has required a diligent, tireless dedication to his craft of songwriting – and has resulted in an unparalleled career now spanning five decades, from his formative years in seminal folk-rock alchemists Fairport Convention to his acclaimed solo work.\n\nStill, available via Fantasy Records on June 23, 2015, is a testament to Thompson’s ongoing evolution as a songwriter and performer, and his willingness to continue challenging himself. “By this point,” Thompson explains, “I’ve done about forty albums on my own. I know how to make records, I know the process. But I also fall into my own patterns and habits.”\n\nTo disrupt these potentially stifling habits, Thompson enlisted Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy as producer. “It turned out,” Thompson adds, acknowledging the risk involved, “to be really good idea. Jeff is musically very sympathetic. Although some of his contributions are probably rather subtle to the listener’s ear, they were really interesting and his suggestions were always very pertinent.”\n\nEchoes of awe, mixed with a touch of perplexity, invest Richard Thompson’s voice as he recalls the sprawling, instrument-littered Chicago rehearsal space where he recorded Still: “It’s a two-story loft…they’ve put a recording studio in the corner of the second floor, but the rest of the space is taken up with hundreds of guitars, basses, keyboards, even arcane sorts of wind instruments and such. It’s an insane space. There’s a distinct desire to spend a month or so just trying out everything…”\n\nIn a remarkable feat of discipline (or self-denial), Still’s twelve songs were laid down in a brisk nine days, with producer Tweedy melding surprising sonic enhancements to a series of urgent, riveting performances by Thompson’s core trio of himself (guitar, vocals), bassist Taras Prodaniuk, and drummer Michael Jerome – augmented by guest guitarist Jim Elkington of Jeff’s band Tweedy and harmony vocalists Liam Cunningham, his sister Sima Cunningham (both of Tweedy), and Siobhan Kennedy.\n\n“I really tried to not have any preconceived ideas,” Thompson says of working with Tweedy, “but of course you do. I tried to shove those to the back of my mind. You don’t really know until you turn up — what the studio is like, what the gear is like. It ended up being a nice unfolding of surprises.”\n\nIn partnership with the evocative sonic landscape, the key to Still’s emotional resonance is a set of gripping new Thompson compositions rich with his signature mix of trenchant insight, gallows humor, and keen empathy for characters at the brink of being overcome by their emotions, their pasts, or themselves.\n\n“She Never Could Resist a Winding Road” opens the set with a gently haunting meditation on the perpetual hope that can only be offered by the unknown. A different strain of uncertainty pervades the anxious “Dungeons for Eyes,” the latest in a series of political-as-personal allegories that form a fertile vein running through Thompson’s catalog.\n\n“That’s a song about meeting someone who undoubtedly either killed people themselves or ordered people killed and now, some years down the road, they’re respected politicians,” Thompson offers. “Are they a terrorist or a freedom fighter? It all depends on which way the political dice fall. I met someone who fits that description. I was supposed to walk up and shake his hand, and it was a real dilemma for me. In the end, I couldn’t do it.”\n\nThe stark, pleading, “Where’s Your Heart” contains a notably intense, unguarded solo from Thompson that vividly telegraphs and extends the nervousness and confusion of the lyric. The track also features a virtuoso turn from the rhythm section, whose work is sterling throughout. “For me, it was a condition of working with any producer that I bring my own rhythm section,” Thompson explains. “I really like playing with Taras and Michael, and because we play now as a trio, we have an understanding. I can’t think of people who play my style of music as well as they do.”\n\nTheir balance of muscle and sensitivity is elevated by inventive sonic treatments devised by Tweedy on tracks like “Broken Doll.” “That’s Jeff in the background,” Richard says of the eerie, high-register textures hovering over the rest of the band. “He’s got quite the arsenal of strange keyboards and toy pianos, along with hundreds, possibly thousands, of effects pedals. He would start trying out ideas and I’d think ‘This is never going to work, this is hopeless.’ So I’d walk away for ten minutes, and when I got back his ideas just kept working. He just hears things that I wouldn’t hear…” Tweedy also realigned the rhythmic framework of the wry, frustrated “All Buttoned Up,” giving the song space to build and breathe by stripping the groove down to its simplest components.\n\nThe rapid-fire, modal “Pony in the Stable” draws from Thompson’s British-isle roots, spinning a nimble, evolving arrangement from the intricate melody. “The melody came to me first,” he says. “I thought it would be really hard to put words to a tune like that, but there are precedents. In Scottish dance music, you sometimes have a fast-moving reel that people will put words to and make it a song. Sometimes the lyrics are nonsense, sometimes they’re obscene. It was a challenge. It became an exercise in melody with variations: the chord structure changes, the key changes, the mode of the melody changes…”\n\nThompson drew on the full resources of the Wilco loft for the concluding “Guitar Hero,” a seven-and-a-half minute autobiographical saga tracing a budding fret-jockey’s awkward attempts to emulate his idols — in this case, Django Reinhardt, Les Paul, Chuck Berry, James Burton, and Hank Marvin. “These were all people I was listening to when I was kid,” says Thompson. “There’s a Les Paul quote, so I figured we needed a Les Paul guitar. And there, on the wall of the loft, are 20 or so of them of various descriptions. For James Burton I wanted a ‘50s Telecaster. Of course they had one, and it sounded perfect.”\n\n“If I were to do it justice,” Thompson continues, “there’d be 15 more guitar players and it would last two hours and we’d all be exhausted at the end. I thought it was fitting to pay tribute to all these guitar players, particularly ones disappearing from the radar. Some are dead, some are slipping into historical obscurity…” Reassuringly, “Guitar Hero” ends with a blast of trademark Thompson-style fireworks. “I hope I wasn’t expressing superiority,” he demurs. “I just thought the song wasn’t finished without something improvised at the end.”\n\nStill is clear evidence that, rather than buckle under the weight of a long, enviable career, Thompson’s sights are resolutely set on the here and now. “There’s two kinds of success,” he concludes. “Once I make an album, I can only say I succeeded if I wrote good songs and made a good document. In terms of a live shows, I have to ask if I felt like I got something across to the audience…did I communicate? The other kind of success is when you’re in the charts, you’re celebrated. In the end, that’s just illusory. There’s no point investing in that.”\n\nTaken as a whole, Still is a powerful dispatch from an acknowledged master who remains unafraid to put himself into demanding new environments – its title reflecting that resilience and seemingly endless resourcefulness. “Or,” Thompson adds slyly, “it could be read as ‘Is he still performing? I thought he died years ago.”"

"This is one of the 18 temporary pontoon bridges (i.e. floating bridges) installed during the Kumbh Mela 2013 festival near Allahabad (India).\n\nThis pontoon bridge is over the Ganges (Ganga) river. Those floating bridges are built on top of large empty metal tanks, and are anchored to the river bottom with ropes on the upstream side of the bridge. Those bridges can support trucks up to 10 Tons, but to be safe, the maximum weight was set to 5 Tons. Those bridges are mostly used for pedestrian traffic. During high affluence periods when large crowds are crossing the floating bridges, bridges are one-way, with alternating direction for each other bridge. This rule was taken after a stampede in a previous year caused the bridge railing to fail and many people to fall in the river and drawn (most of the Hindu pilgrims cannot swim!).\n\nThe water was very low in the Ganges river at the time, so in fact this bridge was not floating, but just sitting on the sandy bottom of the shallow river.",

"NEW YORK: Carlos Alcaraz battled past Jannik Sinner in five sets to reach the US Open semi-finals on Thursday in the latest ever finish in the tournament’s 141-year history. A thrilling 5hr 15min duel that finished at 2:50am local time ended with the 19-year-old Alcaraz claiming a 6-3, 6-7 (7/9), 6-7 (0/7), 7-5, 6-3 victory to advance to a last-four showdown with Frances Tiafoe of the United States on Friday.\n\nThe previous record for the latest finish to a US Open match was 2:26am, which had been set three times before. Incredibly, it was the second early-hours-of-the-morning finish for Alcaraz this week. The Spanish No 3 seed had edged past Croatia’s Marin Cilic in another five-set epic in the fourth round in a match that finished at 2.23am local time on Tuesday.\n\nA crowd of a few thousand die-hard spectators roared their appreciation for Alcaraz as the Spaniard collapsed to the Arthur Ashe Stadium court in delight after a famous victory over Sinner, the 21-year-old Italian 11th seed. “Honestly, I still don’t know I did it,” said Alcaraz after a win which came after he survived a match point in the fourth set. “I always say that you have to believe in yourself all the time. Hope is the last thing that you lose. I just believed in myself and believed in my game.”\n\nAlcaraz later described the win as the best performance of his career. “At five hours 15 minutes, from the first ball to the last, there was immense quality from both Jannik and me,” he said. “In all the sets there were goals and we were very close to winning or losing…it was a match that Jannik and I will remember for the rest of our lives.” A shattered Sinner said the defeat was the hardest of his young career. “I had some tough losses for sure, and this is in the top list,” he said. “I think this one will hurt for quite a while but tomorrow – or today – I wake up and try to somehow take the positives but it’s tough for sure.”\n\nAlcaraz got off to a smooth start after taking the first set 6-3, breaking Sinner twice towards the end of the set to seize an early advantage. But Sinner showed great character to level in the second set, recovering from 5-6, 0-40 down to force a tie break. Alcaraz had a fourth set point at 7-6 in the breaker but Sinner got it back to 7-7 with an ace and then converted on set point at 8-7 to level the match at one set apiece after an Alcaraz unforced error. Another hard fought battle followed in the third set, Alcaraz finally gaining the crucial advantage with a break in the 11th game to take a 6-5 lead.\n\nOnce again though Sinner remained unflustered and restored parity to force another tie break. This time Alcaraz was slow to adjust and Sinner sprinted into a 6-0 lead before taking the set when an Alcaraz return drifted long. Sinner looked to be in control in the fourth set after breaking early to set up a 3-1 lead. But Alcaraz again staged another fightback and after holding serve broke Sinner to level at 3-3 with a blistering forehand down the line.\n\nYet the Spaniard’s grit in restoring parity went out the window when Sinner broke back immediately, Alcaraz double-faulting on break point to gift his opponent a 4-3 lead. That led to Sinner serving for the match at 5-4, and it appeared as if a thrilling duel was about to reach its conclusion when the Italian moved to match point. But Alcaraz clawed it back to deuce with a backhand return before Sinner then double-faulted to cough up a break point.\n\nOn the next point Sinner lashed a forehand way wide to leave the score at 5-5. Alcaraz then held and broke to force the fifth set decider. Still there was more drama in store in the fifth, with Sinner going a break up. But Alcaraz would not be denied, hitting back with two breaks to set up a remarkable win. Tiafoe reached his first Grand Slam semi-final by seeing off Andrey Rublev 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/0), 6-4 to move within two wins of becoming the first African-American man in 54 years to win the US Open.\n\nTiafoe says he hopes to inspire a new generation of Black tennis players after moving to within two wins of becoming the first African-American man in 54 years to win the US Open. The 24-year-old has lit up this year’s championships after a giant-killing run that saw him eliminate Rafael Nadal before Wednesday’s quarter-final demolition of Russian ninth seed Andrey Rublev.\n\nTiafoe’s assured 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/0), 6-4 victory over Rublev has left the 22nd seed on course to become the first Black male player to win the Open since Arthur Ashe in 1968. Tiafoe wants his performances in New York to leave a lasting mark on US tennis. “Every time I win, I just want to inspire a bunch of people to just know that anything is possible,” Tiafoe said. “At the end of the day I love that because of Frances Tiafoe there is a lot of people of color playing tennis. “That’s obviously a goal for me. That’s why I’m out here trying pretty hard.”\n\nTiafoe was introduced to tennis at an early age, after his father, who moved to the US to escape civil war in Sierra Leone in the early 1990s, took a job as a live-in caretaker at a tennis training facility in Maryland. “I was playing tennis hours and hours around the game, soaking up the game, watching the game,” Tiafoe said. “It was my life. The only thing I really watched growing up was Tennis Channel. I mean, you end up just falling in love with it.” Prior to Wednesday, Tiafoe’s best result at a Grand Slam was a quarter-final appearance at the Australian Open in 2019. – AFP",

"How to Make Your Own Anime or Manga Character with Sample Descriptions from character traits worksheet 3rd grade , source:wikihow.com\n\nFor example, in a third-grade reading lesson, it is helpful to limit the focus to physical personality traits only. Physical personality traits such as neatness, extroversion, agreeableness, and so on, do not directly address comprehension. Instead, it would be more productive to teach students about verbal comprehension and memory skills. However, there may be times when comprehension is more difficult than physical presence. For this reason, developing an awareness of character traits associated with verbal expression can be helpful in the development of language comprehension.",

"Developing and using character traits worksheet-3rd grade students should use a checklist that is organized by type of topic. For example, if the lesson is about growing taller, then the character traits worksheet should include items such as showing that people grow taller, relating this fact to human anatomy, and displaying how the human body grows. When creating the worksheet, make sure that you keep the related topics in mind and avoid covering unrelated topics that are not related to the lesson. You could also use other worksheets to support these ideas. Just be sure to group related topic together.",

"A. Students should write a descriptive sentence about each trait. This sentence could be something like “The teacher is very strict about dress code.” When describing characters, do not use words such as “such,” “like,” “this,” or “that.” These words do not describe the trait in the way it is described above. These words could cause the readers to get your meaning wrong.",
null,
"C. The third grade students read their blog posts and then put them into their character traits worksheet. For example, if the first trait is dependent on the upper elementary students’ grades, the students would put that information on their worksheet. However, they could also put the word “graduation” instead of “grade.” Once they have listed all of the traits for each trait, they should arrange them in the order of importance. Finally, they should use the graphic organizer to make it easy for their students to read their worksheets.",

"When Filipino Americans discuss with their history, often the pre-World War II-era literary works of Carlos Bulosan or the accounts of the manongs who labored in the farms and factories of the U.S. west coast are recalled. But our historical past is not just limited to individuals who wrote or had been written about in books. The program helps members of the Filipino community in Calgary combine into Canadian society.\n\nThe second considerations paternalist states as ‘protector’, the place states are primarily motivated to reaffirm conventional gender norms. We conclude that migration bans have been best, each in curbing departures and achieving desired outcomes, when they’re primarily motivated by labour points and never gender politics. Nevertheless, even when used as a type of diplomatic negotiation, migration bans heighten the vulnerability of domestic employees to exploitation by pushing them into irregular pathways fraught with danger. Once a migration ban is in place, it may lead to some coverage confusion as the altering nature of its necessities, such as age and country-specific restrictions, could be difficult for migrant staff to grasp and cling to. In apply, the implications of the migration bans are counter to these meant by labour-sending states.\n\nIn it latest iteration, the total ban was lifted in 2015 with a new age restriction of 24 years for 8 destination countries. These bans, which have been lifted periodically and later imposed once more as policy directives, lack clear data and consistency, making it difficult for women migrant employees to comprehend and abide by. Total or conditional bans preventing girls domestic staff from migrating to sure nations or areas are sometimes carried out after a ‘crisis event’ involving the abuse or demise of a woman migrant employee during foreign employment. Such occasions readily seize public and media attention, resulting phillippines brides in public outrage in labour-sending states . Some examples of ‘crisis events’ which have led to the introduction of a migration ban on ladies home employees are listed in the desk beneath for each of our four country research . In Nepal, women’s migration is highly stigmatised, fuelled by media reports on migrant ladies facing sexual violence in vacation spot countries that equate their migration with trafficking/prostitution (Gioli et al., 2017). While traditional family buildings have modernised lately, significantly in urban areas, gender stereotypes and patriarchal practices discouraging women’s mobility and education persist in rural settings.\n\nThe Myth About Philippines Women Exposed\n\nSome manongs sent their pay back to the Philippines, and others tried to save up sufficient to return residence to marry or retire, or to attend faculty in the united states Because she was a white girl, they kept their relationship hidden from the public for years to keep away from authorized persecution or, worse, violent retribution. Fred deliberate to pursue his education in America, a promise he made to his dying mother. Unfortunately, the experiences of the manongs have been too typically of hardship, loneliness and struggles against racism, discrimination and exploitation. Castor echoed Cortez’s sentiments about the dedication of Filipino nurses within the nation, noting that she knew several Filipino nurses who left retirement to assist battle COVID-19.\n\nThe specifics of the affiliation between media exposure and HIV testing was examined intimately on this research and was discovered to be related to these that are found in other settings . Frequent exposure to tv and Internet also increases the likelihood of exposure to HIV data, education, and communication campaigns selling HIV testing disseminated via these types of media, thus promoting HIV testing. A copy of the interview schedule may be seen on the final report of the 2013 Philippine NDHS . Since the Spanish colonial period, the girl has been the household treasurer, which, a minimal of to a point, gave her the facility of the purse. Nevertheless, the Spanish additionally established a practice of subordinating ladies, which is manifested in girls’s generally submissive attitudes and in a double commonplace of sexual conduct. The girl’s function as family treasurer, together with a lady’s maintenance of a typically submissive demeanor, has modified little, however the double commonplace of sexual morality is being challenged. Male dominance additionally has been challenged, to some extent, in the 1987 constitution.\n\nHowever, HIV statistics within the Philippines are perceived to be underestimates due to Filipinos’ low knowledge and/or stigma related to HIV testing [3–5,7,8]. It is estimated that round one-third of all Filipinos who’ve HIV do not know their true HIV standing, regardless of HIV testing being free in many services throughout the country . From the 2013 Philippine National Demographic and Health Survey , only 2.3% of all the feminine respondents have reported that they have ever examined for HIV . With the onset of the Great Depression, Filipinos and different immigrants had been handy scapegoats for the troublesome economic instances and subject to racist assaults. In 1930, a mob in Watsonville, California, dragged dozens of Filipino men from their houses and beat them.\n\nThe Indonesian state has responded to widespread coverage of exploitation and mistreatment of women home workers overseas in paternalistic ways, such as implementing legal guidelines that additional limit their mobility. In late June 2009, the federal government placed a ban on its residents taking up employment in Malaysia as home employees following a rise in excessive profile abuse instances. The authorities emphasised how this motion reflected not only the issue of violent abuse in opposition to domestic staff, but also the necessity for higher protections and charges of pay for these workers more typically .\n\nThe availability of the kinds of employment in which girls predominated in all probability explains why about two-thirds of the rural to city migrants have been feminine. Although domestic service is a low-prestige occupation, the other types of employment compare favorably with alternatives open to the typical man. During the Nineteen Eighties HIV/AIDS epidemic in the us, some American-born well being care staff publicly refused to deal with AIDS patients. The American Medical Association made a statement on AIDS in 1986 which even permitted physicians who were not “emotionally able” to look after AIDS patients to refer them to other physicians. Filipino nurses, including Jurado, migrated to fill the gaps left by home nurses. From 1980 to 1990, the Filipino inhabitants in the united states soared from 774,652 to 1,406,77.\n\nThis burden was moderated somewhat by the provision of relations and servants who functioned as helpers and child caretakers, however the usage of servants and family members has sometimes been denounced because the equal of exploiting some women to free others. This favorable occupational distribution does not mean that girls were without financial problems. Although girls have been eligible for top positions, these have been more typically obtained by males. In 1990 girls represented 64 p.c of graduate students but held only 159 of 982 profession high executive positions within the civil service.\n\nConsequently, Nepal’s restrictions on women’s labour migration uphold gender norms and cultural narratives of social honour. The Filipino public depicted Contemplacion as a martyr and nationwide image of their financial plight and participation in abroad employment as a pathway out of poverty . Various human rights, feminist and migration teams ‘condemned the Philippine state’s failure to safeguard the rights of workers deemed crucial to the nation’s economic development, and questioned the humanity of its state-sponsored coverage of exporting labour’ . Bans on the migration of ladies domestic workers have lengthy been a key feature of abroad employment in the Philippines. It was the first nation in the Indo-Pacific region to determine a follow of ‘labour diplomacy’ through withholding labour pressure resources to extend its bargaining power with countries of destination for higher labour rights protections (Napier-Moore, 2017).\n\nIt’s no wonder the Philippines at all times wins the most prestigious international magnificence pageants. It’s clear to see that the beauty and brains of Filipino girls are genuinely world-class. Other than her love for her household, a Filipina woman was raised to be God-fearing and trustworthy. More than a religion, it’s already a half of who she is and what she believes in, and the final thing you’d wish to do is mock or discredit these beliefs.\n\n“Modernization” of the Philippine nationwide language has incorporated these new characters into the alphabet since 1987, junking the old Abakada . [newline]Part of the cause being that the standard Abakada is restricted and typically sounds humorous or turns into the butt of jokes, as in the way certain phrases are spelled. For instance,bote and titik are spelled Abakada type as “ba-o-ta-e” and “ta-i-ta-i-ka,” which even make children die laughing! The accepted method is to spell these words as “bi-o-ti-ey” and “ti-i-ti-i-key” or something to that impact. Pinoy is the shortened, colloquial model for Filipino to imply the folks, but never the language.",

"From 1972 to 1978, 60% of all nurses who entered the country using H-1 visas had been educated within the Philippines. In 1948, the united states established the Exchange Visitor Program inviting foreigners to quickly study and acquire work expertise in the united states, and only allowing individuals to remain within the nation for a maximum of two years. Cheniza Choy says the Cold War program aimed to encourage participants to take American tradition and beliefs again to their house nation. The program’s launch additionally coincided with U.S. nursing shortages after World War II—while hospital directors claimed many stop to remain home and care for his or her families, nurses cited low wages and deplorable working conditions as the reason for leaving. American hospitals fighting staffing utilized the EVP to sponsor Filipino nurses to fill the deficit.\n\nTo determine the order in which variables will be launched into the final model, logistic regression for survey data was used to evaluate the impact of every PRF, adjusting for the DRFs with a p≤0.20 in the bivariate analyses. Despite the worldwide decrease within the incidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus infections , the Philippines is presently experiencing a rapid increase in the number of HIV circumstances [2–5]. For the primary seven months of 2019, round 35 new cases of HIV are diagnosed in the nation daily. From 1984 to July 2019, there have been 69,512 HIV circumstances which were identified within the Philippines; 4,339 (6.7%) of whom are ladies .\n\nBut while there may be much good agricultural land nonetheless untouched, certain areas are already crowded. Among these are elements of Luzon—the northwest coast, the Cagayan Valley within the north, and the central plains—Cebu, and the slender coastal plains of a few of the different islands. They are good managers of their properties and are entering the professions in growing numbers. Family ties are strong—a Filipino family not occasionally contains three or 4 generations, uncles, cousins, and relations more distantly eliminated. We’re supporting the most vulnerable youngsters, especially girls, and young ladies affected by this disaster. Now a congresswoman of the second district of Taguig City, this lawyer-entrepreneur can be a supporter of Bike for Hope, which raises environmental consciousness and promotes a wholesome way of life among Filipinos. Online news web site Rappler might be a startup, but in terms of progressive journalism, this independent social information group is making its mark on the business."

"Yields on short-term government securities vary from just above zero (10 basis points for 3-month T-bills) to around 1% (88 basis points for a 2-year Treasury).

"Finding loans is tough. Commercial and industrial lending continues to fall. In last year’s fourth quarter, C&I loans were down more than 5%, even though top-line GDP climbed at an annualized real 5.7% rate.",

"For consumers, the state of borrowing isn’t encouraging either. The St. Louis Fed recently crunched some numbers on so-called consumer loan spreads, defined as “the amount they would earn on a weighted average of funds held in M2 (which is essentially cash on hand or in easily accessible bank accounts).” The bottom line: the cost of funds remains high for consumers. In fact, the credit card spread “is higher today than at any time in the past decade—even when the federal funds rate was as high as 6.5 percent in 2000:Q4,” according to William Gavin at the St. Louis Fed.",

"On the other hand, perhaps this is something of a moot point. Joe Sixpack seems intent on saving more these days. The personal savings rate (measured as a % of disposable personal income) was 4.6% in last year’s fourth quarter, more than double the level in 2008’s third quarter. That’s hardly a surprise, given the current economic backdrop and the general need to repair household balance sheets. But to the extent that economic recovery depends on a robust increase in consumer spending, there’s reason to stay cautious (as if we needed another reason)."
