- The Library Shop - Rules and Regulations - Using the Internet - Website Terms and Conditions - Gifts of Materials to NYPL - © The New York Public Library, 2017 This digital collection draws upon the materials selected for an exhibition called "Seeing Is Believing," held in the Library's Gottesman Exhibition Hall, October 23, 1999 - February 19, 2000. Natural history materials were included very selectively in that exhibition; however, natural history materials have their own separate presentations in NYPL Digital Gallery, devoted to plants and to animals respectively. The digital presentation reprises the exhibition's overarching premise: pictures, as Leonhart Fuchs noted in the introduction to his great herbal of 1542, "can communicate information much more clearly than the words of even the most eloquent men." The exhibition posited three categories of scientific images. One allows viewers to "see" or understand information that defies direct observation by using different methods to show various kinds of theory or reality. For example, Copernicus's simple diagram of the solar system presented theory based on careful study. Other scientists, such as Vesalius, who elegantly depicted the muscles of the human body and Trouvelot' who gloriously attempted to present the wonders of the heavens, based their observations, though selective, on reality. A third type of image acts as a record of direct observation and communication, such as the steps for conducting an experiment or procedure, or simply the equipment needed, such as the apparatus Boyle used in his experiments on air. The exhibition and this digital presentation share the same proviso. "Although not providing a comprehensive history of scientific and medical illustration, these images open a window on the radical shift in the cosmology of early modern Europe that began around 1543 with the publication of seminal works by Copernicus and Vesaliius, and continued with the work of Newton, Harvey, Darwin, Curies and others."

Tops on our list of morning beauty tips: Lather your skin with a deep moisturizer before bedtime. You'll wake up with soft skin that's a perfect canvas for quick makeup application. Dry skin is difficult to cover and can take precious time away from your morning routine. If you're still battling with dry skin, try these tips to get rid of dry skin. Invest in a set of curlers. It may seem old school, but ladies back then knew a thing or two about beauty time savers. Shower at night and set your hair while it's still wet, before you go to bed. You'll wake up with a dry mane that's incredibly full. All you'll need to do in the morning is finger comb your tresses into place. You know that Visine gets the red out of your eyes, but did you know that it gets the red out of skin blemishes, too? Just put a dab on a zit, and it will look less inflamed, making it easier to apply your makeup. A pre-treatment of Visine will make your coverup process far shorter or maybe even unnecessary, depending on your skin. Look for products that can be used in two ways. The time you save cleaning makeup brushes or washing your hands between applications can add up. Your lip gloss might make for a nice blush. Smudge your eyeliner around your lid for a makeshift shadow. Wipe the extra facial moisturizer you have on your hands into your hair for some frizz control. Try the prescription-strength antiperspirants that are applied at night. You'll cut down on the underarm swipe time in the morning. More importantly, because the antiperspirant will already be absorbed, you'll completely avoid those horrible white streaks on your black clothes. All that time you'd spend scrubbing away that chalky whiteness will add up. Remove chalky white deodorant from clothing quickly by rubbing the stain with pantyhose. This will remove all the surface whiteness, and you can get out the rest of the stain in the wash by adding a little white vinegar to your laundry. Keep your makeup area completely organized, with high-use products within easy reach. Line up your makeup brushes in the order you use them. Put medications in a daily pill organizer. One quick organization session will prevent you from searching for that lip gloss, accidentally putting on highlighter with your navy shadow brush, or struggling with a child-safe cap. A few small changes in your morning beauty routine can open up your mornings so you're free to do things that are more important... like enjoying the culinary wonder that is a Pop Tart. And you'll see personalized content just for you whenever you click the My Feed . SheKnows is making some changes!

He was, quite possibly and probably, the most popular movie star in the history of the movies. To this day, although he has been dead for over 30 years (the Duke passed away in June of 1979), his name always ranks near the top in all the lists for "favorite movie star.” He left us with a rich legacy of enthralling, stirring, all-American films, where he almost always portrayed the quintessential hero- not only brave, but fearless. I am referring to, of course, the immortal John Wayne- “The Duke". Now, first of all, we all now can view John Wayne's life in it's full perspective- after all, he died in 1979. We think of him as not a movie star, but the movie star of all-time, the greatest of the great. And this he was. But it wasn't always this way. In December of 1941, when America entered World War II, John Wayne was, indeed, a movie star. But this was a fairly recent development- after over a decade of being a journeyman film actor, he had finally had his breakthrough role in the movie Stagecoach (1939), and had been enjoying his well-deserved stardom for barely two years. The call to arms came, of course, after Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), and many of Wayne's fellow movie celebrities immediately joined ranks. Wayne was at first deferred, as he had a wife to support and four children. But Henry Fonda had a wife and three kids and he joined ranks. As did Jimmy Stewart, Robert Montgomery, and Clark Gable, who was actually 41 at the time of his enlistment. Gene Autry was four months younger than Wayne when he signed on. Even Ronald Reagan, blind as a bat without his contact lenses, signed on for service in the military film unit for the signal corps. And Reagan, much like Wayne, had recently too, had his breakthrough role in King's Row (1942) and his service cost him many recently offered roles. The John Wayne controversy began almost immediately. The Duke came up with excuse after excuse after excuse on why he wasn't serving... He was "trying to fill out the proper forms to enlist in the military," but he had no typewriter on location. He had "left his enlistment forms with Ward Bond" (his close friend), who "couldn't fill them out." His wife, who he was separated from, "wouldn't let him get the (essential) documents he had left at home." Wayne even claimed that his studio head, Peter Yates, said he would "sue you for every penny you hope to make in the future,” if the Duke walked away from his contract. This last seems highly unlikely as no studio boss in Hollywood did such an action during the duration of the war. To friends who asked about his possible enlistment, Wayne would usually say he planned on enlisting "after one or two more films." Many John Wayne fans even put out a rumor that Wayne's "mythical" college football injury, which he had gotten 14 years previously, was the reason Duke was not called up. Wayne went out of his way to have the studio cook up reasons to get him his deferment. In 1944, Wayne was re-classified as 1-a, only to have the studio get him a deferment "in support of national interest.” He was re-classified as 2-a. This was later revoked and he was classed 1-a again, but the studio interceded again and he was re-classified 2-a until the end of the war. So the question becomes why? Was he afraid? One can hardly imagine the Duke being physically afraid- heck, this was a guy who did all his own stunts in his films. He was a rough-and-tumble ex-football player from the U.S.C. team. Even if he was scared, he could easily have gotten an assignment behind a desk or in special services, entertaining the troops. Although, ironically, this may have looked equally bad, John Wayne as a "desk jockey" or putting on shows, may have elicited many hoots and catcalls from fellow GIs. Wayne did appear in USO shows, entertaining the troops in 1943 and 1944. He was well aware of the the circumstances surrounding him, as he once confided to a friend: “I better go do some touring. I can feel the draft board breathing down my neck.” So, again, the question is “why?” Well, let's take a look at John Wayne's life in 1941. Recently separated from his wife, he was in a hot and heavy affair with a beautiful Latin lady. Being a world-famous movie star at his physical peak, he undoubtedly had dozens and dozens of other ladies of all ages, types, nationalities, and stripes, willing to give anything to spend some time with "the Duke.” He had hunting trips, fishing trips, riding on his beloved horses, swimming, yachting, and visits with his friends (fellow movie stars mostly). There were his infamous excursions to Mexico, where he could indulge in drinking tequila and his great love for Mexican and Latin women. (Wayne was always partial to the senoritas, marrying three exotic Latin women). Now earning the big bucks, he was quite an investor too. Wayne had investments in apartment buildings, a country club, a beach club, a Culver City motel, oil wells, as well as various common stocks. He was earning the big bucks now, and it must have been fun to "check on his investments.” One can hardly blame him for not wanting to give up the good life he had worked so hard to achieve. From all the evidence, it just simply looks like a case of a man preferring to be a Hollywood movie star millionaire to being a $21.00 a month GI, risking his life in some foxhole or in a plane, overseas. But then, one never knows what is truly in another man's heart. Maybe the reason was this simple, maybe not. Was the Duke scared? It's possible. Ironic, but possible. Wayne paid a price, spiritually, for his ducking his service. In filming the movie They Were Expendable (1945), after the war, John's great friend and director, John Ford deliberately embarrassed John in front of everyone on the set. Wayne played a GI in this film. As Wayne saluted during a scene, Ford sarcastically said (in front of everyone present), “Duke, can't you at least manage a salute that at least looks like you've been in the service?" Wayne, embarrassed and furious, stalked off the set- for the only time in his career. Robert Montgomery, a fellow veteran, chewed Ford out for this cruel act, telling him “You don't dress down a man in front of the troops.” Ford felt guilty, wept and apologized to Wayne. Ford felt very bad and gave Wayne, as an amends, one of the greatest scenes of his career. In it, Wayne gives a very touching performance, as he reads a poem over a fallen war comrade. But it was always noticed by friends that although Wayne and Ford were very close friends and were very closely connected for their entire movie careers, there was always a sore spot there, because of Wayne's not serving. Wayne would sometimes make appearances at a studio event called the "field photo farm," a studio gathering of ex-GI’s to celebrate Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, etc. Wayne would sometimes go to some these affairs at Christmas, and feel very uncomfortable, as all the ex-servicemen would don their military uniforms. He would hang around for while, mingle stiffly, and leave at the easiest opportunity. During the war years, Wayne actually did get into more than one fight with servicemen over his not serving. Was John Wayne a great villain for not serving his country as a soldier? Of course not. In fact, one of Wayne's many excuses for his deferment was that he could be more of an influence and boost morale better by making his films, inspiring the fighting men. This was, undoubtedly, true. One of the greatest ironies is Wayne's later attitudes to other young men who chose not to sacrifice their own lives during wartime. During both the Korean War and the Vietnam War, Wayne criticized those who did not serve, calling them "soft.” Some claim that Wayne's well-known intense love of country stemmed from the guilt of his not serving. Wayne had a strange view of himself and his role up until the end of his life. In 1975, Emperor Hirohito of Japan was visiting America and asked to meet the great John Wayne. Wayne was astonished and amazed and said, “I must have killed the entire Japanese Navy.” (!!!!) In a conversation, late in his life, with John Ford's grandson, Wayne told him that the reason he never served was that he would "only have been a private" and as such, he couldn't have influenced his fellow soldiers very much (this was an absurd and untrue statement). Was John Wayne a hypocrite? Did he use bad judgement? Did he make a mistake in not serving as a soldier? Did he say some "wrong things"? Was John Wayne a draft dodger? We all have a right to our own opinions, as did the Duke. Nonetheless, Wayne's "war years" of non-service remain the murkiest chapter in his incredible story. Just exactly why John "the Duke" Wayne chose not to serve during World War II is something only he knew. And like all men, John Wayne took many secrets with him to the grave. Just one other point, and one other thing I have discovered to be true: It is quite impossible to go through this crazy game we refer to as "life" and not make mistakes. It just is not possible, no matter how hard any of us try, not to occasionally screw up, mess up, do something wrong, unethical or stupid. The many different people we all meet and the crazy, unexpected situations we all encounter, just make living a "perfect life" an impossibility. We all have our own flaws, weaknesses and shortcomings; you, me, and yes---even John Wayne! Honest, decent people (a great majority of the human race) do, still, try their best. Maybe someday man will evolve into the perfect creature all the philosophers and commoners alike have envisioned for eons. But it hasn't happened yet. And maybe it would be good if we forgave our fellows, as we ourselves would like to be forgiven.

Chapter 29 Umbilicoplasty Abdominoplasty is a very important operation to improve body contour. The first one is credited to Kelly1 in 1899. A previous description of skin and subcutaneous fat tissue resection was performed by Demars and Marx2 in 1890. According to Sinder3 this information was referred to by Voloir4 in his thesis in Paris in 1960. Over many years several abdominoplasty techniques have been described5–7 through different incisions by using a simple procedure of panniculus resection without transposition of the umbilicus. In 1957 Vernon8 described transversal abdominal lipectomy with navel transposition, which is a remarkable step in abdominoplasty. In his original publication Vernon performed a circular incision around the umbilicus to separate it from the abdominal panniculus flap. Consequently, the surface of the umbilicus was a circle (Fig. 29.1). For its reimplantation, another circular incision and resection was done on the abdominal flap to locate the new navel. Top: Different cutaneous incisions from other authors on the abdominal flap and the three cutaneous incisions inside a circle according to Avelar’s method. Middle: The circular incisions used in other techniques for the surgery of the umbilicus leave a circular surface on the skin of the umbilicus. The cutaneous surface of the umbilicus is a triangular one in Avelar’s method. Bottom: Different shapes of the surgical scar after implantation of the umbilicus according to other techniques leave a circular one around it. The triangular scar with three flaps is an atypical Z plasty in Avelar’s method. FIG 29.1 APPEARS ONLINE ONLY Concerning the creation of the new umbilical region during abdominoplasty many authors have proposed various types of incisions around the umbilicus itself as well as for its reimplantation on the abdominal wall (Fig. 29.1). The final scar around the transposed umbilicus may be circular.5,6,9–11 Independent of whether the incision on the abdominal flap is vertical, horizontal, circular, or semicircular, because the surface of the umbilicus is a circle the final scars have a tendency to be circular. When my method is adequately performed the final scar is not a circle, but star-shaped around the new umbilical area. According to a survey by Grazer and Goldwyn12 in 1977, regarding 10 540 abdominoplasties carried out by plastic surgeons from the USA and other countries, umbilical scar contractures may occur in 45% of surgeries. In that survey, they mentioned that 2% of surgeons believe that some sort of retraction or contraction of the umbilical scar always occurs after abdominoplasty when transposition is done. Following my method, the final scar on the umbilicus region after abdominoplasty is not a circle on the surface of the abdominal wall as in the use of other techniques, but a multiple and atypical Z plasty which makes a natural depression of the umbilicus without an external scar. When I developed and described my method13 in 1976, I used to perform abdominoplasty following the conventional techniques of Callia9 and Pitanguy,6 with wide undermining of the abdominal panniculus from the suprapubic region up to the costal margin. Therefore, my previous publications14–18 were described showing the raw area all over the muscular abdominal structures. However, after the presentations and publications19–22 of my new procedure of abdominoplasty without panniculus undermining (lipoabdominoplasty), I used the same method of umbilicoplasty as previously described. Therefore, since 1999 when I described my technique19 where the abdominal panniculus is not undermined during surgery, all perforator vessels are preserved in order to maintain normal blood supply to the abdominal panniculus. It is important to emphasize the surgical principles of my technique of umbilicoplasty in order to demonstrate the philosophy of the method when the umbilical region is treated during abdominoplasty as well as during treatment of other deformities of the umbilicus: 2. One of those three flaps is directed downwards and the others are directed upward to the right and to the left.13–15 The main reason for the downwards direction of one flap is to give the postoperative umbilicus a natural inclination to the bottom (Figs 29.3 and 29.4), since this is the normal position of the umbilicus before operation. 3. Three triangular cutaneous flaps are created on the abdominal wall, which are sutured on the deeper vertices of the umbilicus. This principle means that three cutaneous flaps of the abdominal wall “go” from the surface of the abdominal wall to a deeper point of the umbilicus, making a 90° angle rotation. Such rotation reproduces the similar “migration” of the umbilicus on a newborn child a few days after birth, since the skin around the umbilicus is retracted until it reaches the muscular-aponeurotic wall. In fact, the umbilicus is the first scar in the human body healed secondarily due to its “migration” from outside to the depth.15 Therefore, my method reproduces the natural phenomenon that happens to the umbilicus of a newborn child. 4. Defatting the three cutaneous flaps created on the abdominal wall in order to reduce the thickness of the panniculus around the new umbilical region. This concept is very important, since a normal umbilicus is thinner and gives a depression to the whole umbilical area (Fig. 29.3A–E). 5. Shortening the pedicle of the umbilicus is an important procedure in order to reduce the distance between the abdominal cutaneous flap and the umbilicus itself (Fig. 29.5). This indication is more frequent on patients with obese panniculus as well as on those patients with hernia of the umbilicus with diastasis of the rectus muscles. (A) Photo of the umbilical area showing the demarcation of the technique on a patient before surgery – a star-shaped incision is marked inside a circle. (B) Instrument used to lift the umbilical region to facilitate cutaneous incisions on the umbilicus composed of two parts that join around the umbilical pedicle. (C) Drawings show the two parts of the instrument already joined lifting the umbilical area. (E) Perioperative photo – one can see the umbilicus already incised with three hooks pulling its three cutaneous flaps inside the instrument. (F) Close-up of the umbilicus. (A) Demarcation of the new umbilicus using the articulated instrument on the abdominal flap. (B) A circle of 2 cm diameter is marked with three triangular flaps inside – one is superior and the others inferior on right and left. (C) A patient 7 days after abdominoplasty still with stitches inside the umbilicus. (D) Postoperative photos of two different patients show that the scars are hidden inside the umbilical cavity with its natural depression, without an external scar. FIG. 29.5 Reinforcement of the aponeurosis. Although my umbilicoplasty method was developed and created during abdominoplasty, I have found several circumstances to use it for treatment and correction of other deformities in the umbilical area. Hernia formation, even with redundancy of skin on the umbilicus, is a very common unesthetic abnormality that may happen in children, leading to an unattractive appearance (Figs 29.6A–G and 29.7A–C

Maya Millete’s Husband Sent Increasingly Frantic Emails To ‘Spellcasters’ Before He Allegedly Killed Her, Police Say “Can you hex to have her hurt enough that she will have to depend on me and need my help?” Larry Millete allegedly wrote in one message about a week before his wife Maya Millete disappeared. In the weeks before investigators believe California mom Maya “May” Millete was killed, authorities say her husband Larry Millete was sending increasingly “frantic” emails to “spellcasters” asking for help to keep her from leaving him. The daily messages began with requests to make May have a change of heart about the couple's struggling marriage, but they eventually turned more violent as time went out, authorities allege. “He was asking for May to become incapacitated, for May to be in an accident, for her to have broken bones so she could stay home, thus displaying his homicidal ideations to harm May,” San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said at a press conference Tuesday, according to local station KSWB-TV. Investigators say there were signs of trouble in the couple’s marriage as early as September 2020 after Larry discovered his wife was having an affair and became “increasingly obsessed with May’s activities and communications with other people,” according to an arrest warrant obtained by the local outlet. On one occasion, he even showed up at her place of work to see whether she was with another man, Stephan said. Friends and family described him as being “controlling” and “stalker-like” in the months before May disappeared in January of 2021, authorities said. But investigators believe it’s the messages that Larry allegedly sent to spellcasters that illustrate his desperate attempts to hang on to the crumbling marriage. “The emails became increasingly panicked,” Chula Vista Det. Jesse Vincente wrote in the warrant. Just a week before she disappeared, one alleged message asked a spellcaster to make sure his wife was hurt on a dirt biking family vacation. “Can you hex to have her hurt enough that she will have to depend on me and need my help?” he allegedly wrote on Dec. 31, 2020, according to local station KGTV. “She’s only nice to when she needs me or sick. Thanks again. Maybe an accident or broken bone.” Police believe Larry’s desperation only continued to grow by Jan. 7—the same day authorities believe May had contacted a divorce attorney—and was “frantic” to “reverse May’s decision to file for divorce,” the warrant alleges. “I’m shaking inside ready to snap,” he allegedly wrote to one spellcaster. In another message, he pleaded for the spellcaster to “make her realize that we are meant to be with each other,” make her “miserable” without him and “make her want to sleep on the same bed for all eternity,” authorities said. Investigators believe May disappeared on Jan. 8. One day later, investigators said the messages about her to spellcasters abruptly stopped. “As of January 9, Larry does not direct any more spells or ‘hexes’ toward May, nor does he make any more requests for assistance with his crumbling marriage,” Vicente wrote. By February, investigators said Larry's “focus shifts” and he turned his energy toward requesting spellcasters punish the man he believed his wife had been having an affair with. But by then, investigators allege, May was gone. Investigators allege Larry killed May when he realized she was making plans to leave the marriage. “When Larry’s desperate begging and threats failed to stop May from seeking a divorce, the thought of losing his family was unfathomable to him,” the warrant states. According to investigators, on Jan. 8 around 6 a.m., a security camera captured images of Larry driving away from the couple’s home in a black Lexus GX460, although it was not clear “whether a body was put in the back of the Lexus or not,” according to Stephan. Larry was gone for 11 hours but had left his cell phone behind, so authorities were unable to track his movements. He told police he had taken the couple’s youngest child to Solana Beach, but when asked to point out the beach on a map to investigators he pointed to another location, authorities said, according to KGTV. Just two days before she disappeared, police said May texted a friend saying she was done with the marriage. “I told him I’m filing for divorce whether he likes it or not,” she wrote. “I’m done trying to make it amicable for the sake of the kids.”

Radio: KGNC (710-AM) and KEYE (1400-AM), 5:05 p.m. Internet: Game will be streamlined live at www.gobuffsgo.com. Audio stream can be found at www.kgncam.com. Did you know? Southwestern Oklahoma leads the series, 10-6-2. Buffs won the last meeting, 41-14, in Don Carthel's fourth game in 2005, and won, 23-6, for one of two victories in 2004 under Ronnie Jones. In his first season in Goodwell, Okla., the Aggies broke a 28-game losing streak and went on to two straight winning seasons. OPSU has returned to losing ways while Held, who was a quarterback/defensive back at Nebraska from 1993-96, has guided Southwestern Oklahoma State to back-to-back 6-5 seasons after going 1-10 in 2005. Tonight, his Bulldogs take on a team that also has turned it around. Southwestern brings a 1-2 record to Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, where it tests unbeaten and No. 6 West Texas A&M. While Southwestern is coming off a 24-2 loss to Angelo State - its only points coming on linebacker Ruzel McCoy's tackle for a safety - WT returns to the field where it administered a 75-13 beating on Azusa Pacific. "They're pretty special," Held said of WT. "When I was at Nebraska, we had the thing rolling. Obviously, (the Buffs) do things differently, but they are executing at the same high level. They play with emotion and they play fast. "I have to be biased, of course, but they are fun to watch." It wasn't much fun for Azusa, which watched the Buffs score 10 touchdowns and pile up 572 yards. One TD accounted for 92 yards, a dash by No. 3 running back Kelvin Thompson. "It was a pass play at first, but the quarterback (Taylor Harris) checked off," said Thompson, who slipped between the tackle and guard on the left side, shed a tackle and used receiver A.J. Ruffins' block to break into the open. Thompson said he had a 102-yard kickoff return in high school, but his longest run from scrimmage was "80-something yards." His TD dash may have cost him more playing time; Thompson was out of the game on WT's next drive. "Yeah, but I'll take that any time," he said. In addition to trying to shut down WT's heralded passing game, Southwestern will have to contend with a running back who has gone 99 yards (Keithon Flemming), one who already has scored five touchdowns (Wayne McKnight) and who has gone 92 yards for a score. The Buffs rushed for a season-high 188 yards against Azusa. Meanwhile, Southwestern has rushed for 244 yards in three games. WT's passing game this week ranks No. 1 nationally in Division II with 395 yards per game. Quarterback Keith Null is rated No. 4 overall but has thrown for the most yards (1,047) and is tied for most touchdowns (9). Senior Charly Martin is near 100 yards a game in receiving, good for 14th in D-II. Put the running and passing games together, and WT is averaging 535 yards, fourth-best in Division II, and scoring 49 points a game, also No. 4 nationally. A key for the Bulldogs is keeping the Buffs offense off the field. In WT's opener, Mesa State held a decisive edge in time of possession and scored three times. The game was tied in the fourth quarter before the Buffs pulled out a 23-20 win. "The best defense is keeping the other team's offense off the field, but obviously, you have to score points," he said. Against Eastern, the Bulldogs had the ball three times on ENMU's side of the field early but generated only a field goal. The Greyhounds went on to a 37-24 victory. "We've have opportunities but haven't got it done," he said. Held said Southwestern's 1-2 start is "a little disappointing." The Bulldogs have had trouble scoring in the first and third quarters, totaling one touchdown. SWOSU has outscored its opponents in the other two quarters. "We have been atrocious," Held said. "We haven't clicked much on offense. I think we're more talented on offense, but we haven't been able to get it done." The Bulldogs are averaging four yards a play on offense; WT is 7.3. To slow WT, Southwestern will turn to its defense, which has yielded 874 yards, or 291 per game, and ranked fifth behind WT (290 ypg). The leader is McCoy, a four-year starter who is leads the LSC in tackles for losses (10) and has 2½ sacks. "He's not the biggest guy, but he's a solid Division II football player," Held said of his 5-foot-10, 210-pounder. Offensively, quarterback Steve Day earned LSC North honors in his team's opening win and ranks fourth in passing (213 ypg). His favorite receiver is Joe Sawyer (14 catches, 192 yards, 2 TDs). With the South Division opener the next week, WT likely will rest or at least limit plays for several key players who are hobbled. Center Tommy Crowley (foot) likely won't play, and end Dexter Manley II will return in a limited role after missing the Azusa game (foot). Not scheduled to play until the Kingsville game is defensive tackle T.J. Nickleberry (knee). Injuries and lopsided scores have allowed WT to go deep into its roster. "We know we give up more yards and points," defensive coordinator Colby Carthel said, "but it will help us win games next year, maybe later this year."

Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta was “home sweet home” for Burtin Racing Saturday in the opening round of a season-ending Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli doubleheader weekend. Martin Ragginger edged Tomy Drissi to claim the Atlanta-based team’s second straight 1-2 finish during the SVRA Atlanta SpeedFest. After Chris Dyson stormed to the lead at the start, Ragginger took advantage of Dyson’s early race mechanical issues to take the lead on lap 13 in the No. 17 Gin Amade Chevrolet Camaro and led the rest of the way in the 100-mile event, edging teammate Tomy Drissi by just 0.174-seconds at the checkered flag. “My crew worked so hard for me to take the victory,” Ragginger said. “They deserve it more than I do. Everything went as planned. We had a good qualifying and a good race. I had quite a good lead. At the end we wanted to get a good picture of Burtin Racing 1-2 at the finish, so I slowed up. I just want to thank the whole team of Burtin Racing for giving me an amazing car, we’ve been fast all weekend, so I am looking forward to Sunday’s race.” Burtin Racing finished 1-2 at Road Atlanta with Lawrence Loshak and Drissi in 2019. “There are no team orders here,” said Atlanta-based car owner Claudio Burtin. “The best car and the best driver were going to win.” With championship leader Ernie Francis Jr. retiring after only two laps, Drissi was looking to cut into a once-commanding 43-point lead. “Ernie didn’t get hurt too bad, but we’re making it interesting,” said Drissi. “That kid, and that team, deserve everything they can get that’s good. But I don’t want it to come down to bad luck – I want to win it straight up in a fight.” Ragginger has been the best man all weekend, leading practice and qualifying, although Dyson gave him a scare at the start. The New Yorker got the jump at the start and led the opening 12 circuits in the No. 20 Plaid Ford Mustang. Dyson spun in Turn 6 on the following lap, and retired shortly thereafter with power steering failure. Ragginger led the rest of the way for his first overall victory and second career Trans Am triumph in four starts. He took a TA3 International class victory at the 2015 Daytona finale in his series debut. After blowing an engine in qualifying, Francis parked his No. 98 ZF Concept Concepts Ford Mustang after only two laps with clutch problems. Entering the race with a commanding 43-point lead, Drissi now unofficially closed the gap to 31 points entering Sunday’s finale, a 100-mile race for all five classes. “We’ve had a tough weekend, a tough year really,” Francis Jr. said. “We had a clutch issue with the car but luckily we were able to take the green flag and get a few laps in for points which helps us out. We are digging into it, going to get it all fixed up, and ready for tomorrow to try and take it home to finish this thing.” Boris Said followed Drissi through traffic in the closing laps to take third in the No. 2 Weaver Racing/SRI Performance Dodge Challenge, finishing 1.108-seconds back at the checkered flag. “I feel alright about a third-place finish,” commented Said. “This car was good enough to win. I just didn’t do the best job I could out there today. This is the most nervous I’ve been in a race. My son [Boris Said IV] is about to go out for his first race in a Miata, so it’s a completely different feeling for me. But, what a track. The Trans Am cars are great, 850hp around here is an unbelievable ride. It’s a blast running with these guys.” Justin Marks took fourth in the No. 99 Trackhouse Camaro, followed by Amy Ruman in the No. 23 McNichols Company Corvette. Kerry Hitt was the Masters winner, placing eighth in the No. 19 Advanced Composite Products Cadillac CS-V. Dyson will start Sunday’s combined race on pole by virtue of recording the fastest race lap, 1:20.382-seconds, followed by Ragginger, Drissi and Said. Ken Thwaits ran an uneventful race, leading all the way in XGT in the No. 5 Franklin Road Apparel Audi R8 GT3 Ultra. The win secured the inaugural XGT title, unofficially. “You never know if you’re going to get a yellow – so you can get a rest – but not this time,” Thwaits said. “Justin Oakes and I had a good battle at the beginning, but traffic allowed me to get a gap on him. Then the TA cars started coming through, and it was give and take. I am the first XGT champion – we finished all nine races this year.” Justin Oakes dominated SGT in the No. 11 Droneworks Corvette. After finishing third in XGT in his Trans Am debut at Circuit of The Americas, Oakes changed to an SGT-specification engine. He also secured the Cool Shirt award. “I started racing six months ago,” Oakes said. “This was my first win, and yesterday was my first pole. It just went great. We knew our pace was fast, so we just maintained it and saved the tires in case we got a double-yellow. We had a pretty big margin, so we’re very happy with that.” Lou Gigliotti finished second in the No. 28 G2 Performance Corvette, 31.189-seconds seconds back. Lee Saunders entered the race with a five-point lead over Adrian Wlostowski in the SGT class. Saunders took third in the No. 84 Landsearch LLC Dodge Viper, followed by Mark Brummond in the No., 24 Garage Door Doctor BMW M4 GT4. Wlostowski took fifth in the No. 96 F.A.S.T Auto Mustang, and now unofficially trails by 10 points entering the finale. Milton Grant was the SGT Masters winner, placing seventh in the No. 55 Sentry Self Storage Porsche 911.1 GT3 Cup. Billy Griffin unofficially secured the GT championship with a flag-to-flag victory in the No. 14 Griffin Auto Care/Sheehan’s Towing Ford Mustang. Griffin entered the race trailing Tim Horrell by 18 points, but Horrell did not compete in the finale due to mechanical issues with his Porsche GT4 Clubsport. “I love it [on the top step of the podium] and it gets better and better every time,” Griffin said. “This was for the championship as well. The car ran great. We had a little bit of car trouble but we fixed it last night. We were here ‘til almost midnight, but we fixed it and the car was awesome. The track was very busy. Today was the most I ever looked in the mirrors, for sure.” In an all-Ford Mustang GT podium, Dan Schlickenmeyer made his Trans Am debut by taking second in the No. 37 Griggs Racing/Bath County Collision Ford Mustang, followed by John Baucom in the No. 86 Mustang. Baucom was running in GT for the first time after competing in TA since 2001. Thwaits, Oakes and Griffin earned poles for their respective classes by virtue of setting the fastest race laps. Skeen Steals Sunset Showdown in Trans Am TA2 Thriller Mike Skeen unofficially wrapped up the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli TA2® powered by AEM championship with a thrilling flag-to-flag victory in the Atlanta Speed Tour season semifinal at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on Saturday. With the sun setting in the background, Cameron Lawrence made a pass to the outside of Skeen in Turn 3 to take the lead in a late restart with only two laps remaining. Undeterred, Skeen fought back and regained the lead in Turn 7, and went on to win by 0.867-seconds in the No. 77 LiquiMoly/Turn 14 Distribution Chevrolet Camaro. The victory marked Skeen’s fifth win of the season. He now has an insurmountable 57-point lead (unofficially) over Rafa Matos, who finished third. This would be the second-consecutive title for Team owner Joe Stevens, who also won last year with Marc Miller. The nine-race campaign comes to a close at noon ET on Sunday with a 100-mile race for all five Trans Am classes. Skeen will start from the TA2® pole by virtue of scoring the fastest race lap of 1:25-159-seconds. “That thing felt like it would never end,” Skeen said, after having to make three restarts following yellow flag periods. “I had an awesome LiquiMolly car from Stevens-Miller car. Like they’ve done all year, they’ve given me a fantastic piece. It’s been an awesome weekend. We’ve had incredible piece all weekend long, but I was afraid I’d get jumped on one of the late restarts. Cameron had a killer run on that last one, and I thought it was over. I didn’t want to fight him too hard into Turn 1, but he had a little mistake in Turn 7 and I was able to slip by again. That puts an exclamation point on the championship!” |1||17||TA||1||Martin Ragginger / Wals Satzburg Aus||Gin Amade Chevrolet Camaro||40||0.000||0.000| |2||8||TA||2||Tomy Drissi / Los Angeles Calif||Lucas Oil Chevrolet Camaro||40||0.174||0.174| |3||2||TA||3||Boris Said / Escondido Calif||WeaverRacing/Techniques/SRIPerf Dodge Challenger||40||1.108||0.934| |4||99||TA||4||Justin Marks / Brentwood Tenn||Trackhouse Chevrolet Camaro||40||1:02.473||1:01.365| |5||23||TA||5||Amy Ruman / Stow Ohio||McNichols Co Chevrolet Corvette||39||1 Lap||1 Lap| |6||9||TA||6||Jeff Hinkle / Destin Fla||trgdatacenters.com/netdepot.com Dodge Challenger||39||1 Lap||47.400| |7||59||TA||7||Simon Gregg / Ponte Vedra Bch Fla||Derhaag Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro||38||2 Laps||1 Lap| |8||5||XGT||1||Ken Thwaits / Brentwood Tenn||Franklin Road Apparel Audi R8 GT3 Ultra||38||2 Laps||1:16.333| |9||11||SGT||1||Justin Oakes / Houston Tex||Droneworks Chevrolet Corvette||37||3 Laps||1 Lap| |10||28||SGT||2||Lou Gigliotti / Princeton Tex||G2 Performance Chevrolet Corvette||37||3 Laps||31.189| |11||84||SGT||3||Lee Saunders / Lakeland Fla||Landsearch LLC Dodge Viper||37||3 Laps||3.937| |12||24||SGT||4||Mark Brummond / Charlotte NC||GarageDoorDr/DynamicAutoTune BMW M4 GT4||37||3 Laps||0.322| |13||19||TA||8||Kerry Hitt / Harrisburg Penn||Advanced Composite Products Inc Cadillac CTS-V||37||3 Laps||23.181| |14||96||SGT||5||Adrian Wlostowski / Maspeth N.Y.||F.A.S.T.

You're grounded: A shocking update at Giant These days, customers may be getting less of a charge out of shopping at the Pantops Giant but that's a good thing. As the Hook reported in April, some patrons of the grocery store suffered painful shocks, especially when they touched their carts and the store's metal shelves simultaneously. "In the winter I had a couple of shocks that deadened my arm for a bit," wrote Giant shopper Dan Moseke. "I thought it was static from my swishing George Costanza jacket, but it has kept happening into the spring." A Giant manager said the shocks could have been caused by "electricity generated from disturbing the earth during construction of the store." And electrician Guy Cohen suggested looking into electromagnetic energy. "Go up there with a compass," he said. "If it points north in error, you've got your answer." The compass worked just fine. According to Giant spokesperson Jaime Miller, the source of those shocks is likely good old static electricity. An electrical certification company came in, Miller says, and found that "everything was installed correctly." Based on that information, Giant attached to each cart a "grounding wire"a slim metal thread that hangs from the bottom of the cart and prevents a charge from building up. In addition, the store has changed its cleaning solution to one that imparts a negative charge another shock-busting maneuver. Is it working? "At this point, yeah," Miller says. "There's been a reduction in complaints." Emmett Boaz, who buys most of his groceries at Whyte's in Earlysville, says it's unlikely the fix would bring him back to the store. "I was violently shocked by the prices," says Boaz, "I never had any electrical problems." But Moseke says Giant's plan has worked for him. "I haven't noticed getting shocked," he says, "so I guess that would be an improvement."

While completing the requirements to be awarded a degree, Thuli moved to become an actress. According to her, she did not receive any formal acting training before getting her first role on television. In an interview with True Love Magazine, she opened up on the struggles she had when she started acting, saying: \u201cAt first, I struggled with the technicalities of acting. It is not just talent that is needed but the ability to understand the way things are done.\u201d She further went on to explain how asking questions, reading, and practicing helped her understand the way things could be done better. \u201cI have since learned to ask questions from experienced personalities and take note of everything that happens around me at work. Reading and practicing has helped me a lot, as well as exposing myself to real-life situations.\u201d Thulisile Phongolo is well known for her role in the hit soap,\u00a0Generations: The Legacy\u00a0where she plays the role of Namhla Diale, the daughter of ex-convict Lucy Diale who is portrayed by Manaka Ranaka. The show was originally aired on SABC 1 in 1994, the year Thuli was born. It was created and produced by Mfundi Vundla and was set against the backdrop of the advertising industry in South Africa. Generations,\u00a0which was described as a reality of the present generation\u2019s lifestyle, celebrated the hopes and dreams of all South Africans who aspired to have a better future. It further had a huge dose of suspense, tension, and intrigue as stories unfolded and the romance builds between different characters. It also did not fail to attach to it one of Africa\u2019s greatest practices; witchcraft and black magic. Thulisile Phongolo joined the cast of the show in 2014 after the initial principal cast members were fired over a salary dispute which could not be resolved. But while she mainly became popular due to her appearance on the show,\u00a0Generations\u00a0was not Thuli\u2019s first acting role. Her first role in front of the camera came in 2012 when she was cast to play Zama on the third season of the SABC 1 drama series,\u00a0Tshisa. Thuli has also worked as a presenter on the e.tv show\u00a0Craz-e, a youth block program that had her working alongside Zola Hashatsi, Kriya Gangiah, and Stephanie Sandows among others. Not one to rest on what she has already been able to achieve, Thulisile Phongolo has since gone ahead to pursue a career as a music DJ under the moniker, Thuli P. She has outrightly said that she is open to having a career as a radio DJ and looks forward to working more in the music world rather than in acting alone due to the greater financial benefits of music. Thulisile Phongolo\u2019s Boyfriend and Family In recent times, very little details have been made available to the public about who Thulisile Phongolo\u2019s boyfriend is. While it was public knowledge that she had been in a long term relationship with actor Raphael Griffiths, who is best known for playing Vusi on the TV show Muvhango, it is not clear how the pair are dong at the moment. Sometime in 2015, it was reported that Thuli and Raphael, who began dating long before they became famous, had broken up. They were however said to have reunited but not much has been subsequently heard from them. It further did not help that the actress took to social media to write that she was done with basic men, a sign that all was not possibly well with that relationship. In regards to her family, there is no information available about her parents. She is, however, known to have two\u00a0younger siblings; a brother who is thirteen years younger than her, and a sister who is nineteen years younger than she is. Checkout Her Cars In 2016, Thulisile Phongolo made headlines when she bought a brand new Mercedes AMG. The actress took to Instagram to show off her new car when she acquired it, writing: \u201cI GOT THE KEYS\u2026 #GirlsWithMercs #NiggaGotMyOwn UnlockedSoThankYouGOD.\u201d Following the revelation, speculation ensued on social media that the media personality had a blesser, a rumor that she later went on to put to rest by saying she bought the car from the rewards of her own sweat.

On March 4th of every year, Toy Soldiers, Nurses, and Scouts gather from around the world to celebrate the day that Toy Soldiers Unite was formed in 2006. Though much has changed in the many years TSU has been around, one thing will never change and that is Toy Soldier Day. What exactly do we do on Toy Soldier Day? WE HAVE FUN! Invade a theme park with your division, gather some friends round for a barbeque, take the giant robot you’ve been building in your garage for a stroll, or if you’re at work, instead of saying ‘Have a nice day’ say ‘Have fun today!’. One of the greatest invasions to happen on Toy Soldier Day is the invasion of the Disney theme parks. Disneyland in California, Disneyworld in Florida, even Disneyland Paris. But invasions can happen anywhere at anytime! And though times are tough, you don’t need to attend a popular theme park to have fun with you friends. Break out the NERF and water guns and head to the park for a showdown of epic proportions! The Toy Soldier Army shows the world to have more fun, by leading by example, and on Toy Soldier Day we have FUN! - Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window) - Click to print (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) - Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Search through the posts Latest News Articles

Norman Provizer’s Jazz Notes This year Manfred Eicher and ECM Records celebrate the label’s 50th anniversary and this week Dazzle, 1512 Curtis, pays indirect homage to the famed label by hosting two artists who are on ECM (Edition of Contemporary Music) — pianist Shai Maestro and trumpeter Avishi Cohen, both of whom also share roots in Israel. Maestro is one of the up-and-coming pianists on the scene has an ECM recording out titled The Dream Thief with his trio that has fellow Israeli musician Ofri Nehemya on drums and Jorge Roeder on bass. His group at Dazzle, 1512 Curtis, on Sunday starting at 6:30 p.m. for two sets has drummer Nehemya along with Reuben Rogers on bass (303-839-5100). Early on, Maestro received a call from Israeli bassist Avishi Cohen, one of the first Israeli players to make a mark on the American jazz scene, to join his trio. Maestro did just that. Along with this talented pianist, trumpeter Avishi Cohen (not to be confused with bassist Cohen) is also in town at Dazzle this week. Trumpeter Cohen is part of the very talented Cohen family out of Tel Aviv that includes sister Anat Cohen (who has become a major voice on the American scene) and brother Yuval Cohen, a saxophonist. Together, the family performs as the 3 Cohens. Trumpeter Avishi’s current ECM release is Cross My Palm with Silver and at Dazzle on Wednesday he has a quartet made up of pianist Fabian Almazan, bassist Barak Mori and drummer Ziv Ravitz. Almazan, who was born in Cuba and raised in Miami, has displayed his keyboard magic during a long stay with trumpeter Terence Blanchard and does that same thing with trumpeter Cohen. The band is on stage for two sets starting at 6:30 p.m. Maestro and Cohen aren’t the only visitors to town this week. Individually, drummer Ari Hoenig and saxophonist Bruce Williamson also on stage, respectively, with Ben Markley’s Big Band and with Carmen Sandim for her CD release party. Hoenig, out of Philly, can drive any kind of group from hard boppers to those that like to push the envelope. With pianist Markley’s 17-piece aggregation (that is on the stage at Dazzle on Friday starting at 6:30 p.m.) Hoenig will certainly display that drive with the big band playing his music. That leaves us with saxophonist Bruce Williamson who will be at Dazzle on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. as part of pianist Sandim’s Play Doh release event. Sandim, originally from Brazil, has strong septet and the New York-based Williamson definitely adds to that. The saxophonist, based in New York, was part of Art Lande’s compelling Rubisa Patrol group that, not surprisingly, fits into our theme for the week by recording on ECM starting in 1976. Sandim also performs on Friday and Saturday at Boulder’s Caffe Sole, 637R S. Broadway, at 7 p.m. Also this week, the Colorado Jazz Workshop has its 8th annual festival at Dazzle on Saturday. The event runs from 10:30 a.m. until 9:45 p.m. The first part of the event features various group from the program, while the 6 p.m. performance features the big band followed by the 8:30 p.m. performance that brings the program’s sextet to the stage. Both sets feature guest artist trumpet Bob Montgomery, a pillar of the community here also known for his association with Clark Terry. Speaking of associations, pianist Eric Gunnison is known for the time he spent with singer Carmen McRae. And on Tuesday, Gunnison is part of the Renewal Jazz group that is at Dazzle on Tuesday celebrating a new disc called Party Time. Lastly, Nate Chinen in the New York Times has said “rhythm is a contact sport for Ari Hoenig.” And rhythm as a contact sport is also a large part of the Blue Man Group’s enormous appeal. That appeal is on display at the Buell Theater in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts through Sunday. The power of rhythm blended with humor and large dollops of flashing lights and audience participation is a pretty sure bet and that is exactly what the family-oriented Speechless tour is.

Government to allow 230,000 LMIA-exempt TFWs to come to Canada under IMP annually The government plans to allow 230,000 temporary foreign workers (TFWs) to enter Canada annually under the International Mobility Program(IMP), which allows employers to bring in workers from abroad without proving the need for imported labour, according to a Gazette notification by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. This is in addition to the more than 120,000 mostly low-skilled workers who come to Canada each year under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), where employers are required to obtain a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment(LMIA) by proving that there are no suitable Canadians to fill the vacancies. The IMP has come under heavy criticism following a report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer(PBO) show that the government has no knowledge about what jobs many of the IMP foreign workers do after they come to Canada. “Since 2002, their number has grown at a faster pace than workers requiring an LMIA,” Jean-Denis Frechette wrote in the report. “Moreover, in 45 per cent of the cases in 2012, the government was not aware of the occupational skill level of foreign workers, up from 22 per cent in 2002.” “It is unclear why Canadian employers chose to hire foreign workers in lower-skilled occupations when most domestic workers, whether employed or not, would possess the required skill set to fill these positions,” Frechette said. Even when employers are struggling to fill vacancies, offering a higher salary would attract Canadians from areas with lower employment to take those jobs, the PBO reported. A series of foreign worker program abuse scandals last year caused a public outcry forcing Immigration minister Chris Alexander and the former employment minister Jason Kenney to introduce a raft or reforms including tough new guidelines employers had to follow to import labour, but the opposition has accused the government of reneging on the promises made to the public. “As job losses mount in Alberta, the Conservatives are busy making it easier for employers to hire temporary foreign workers,” NDP MP Jinny Sims, the official opposition critic for employment, said in Parliament. “We learned that they secretly made a deal with Alberta to allow employers there to exceed the 30% cap.” “Just like they have so many times before, the Conservatives made a big splashy announcement about cracking down, and now they are quietly creating loopholes,” she added.

Anybody Can Fix Their Own Pipeline Without HelpDo you really know how to do plumbing? Do you want to improve your plumbing skills? If you are open to learning about plumbing, you are at the right place. Read on to find out how to make your plumbing system more efficient and functional. You always want to solder correctly, the biggest mistake most people make when soldering is failing to get the interior of the fitting and the exterior of the pipe clean and shiny. Polish these surfaces with a fine emery clot until bright. When soldering, never heat the pipe, but instead heat the fitting. Doing so allows the solder to be drawn into the fitting by capillary action. Do not put cooking oils, fat, or grease, down your drain. These fats cause clogs by solidifying in pipes. To properly dispose of fats, put them in a bowl with a lid that you can dispose of. Once it gets hard, throw it in the trash or compost bin. When concerned with plumbing, you need to know what can cause noisy pipes. This is important because it can mean the difference between an annoying noise and flooding in your house. Do your research to distinguish between the different noises and hire a professional if any serious risk is posed. Clean your garbage disposal regularly to prolong the life of your disposal. By incorporating a regular cleaning routine, your garbage disposal can stay running smoothly. One way to clean your disposal is to run dish detergent and lemon rinds through your garbage disposal. As an added benefit, this technique will also eliminate any scents from your disposal. There are many ways to unclog a drain. You can try plunging it at first. If that doesn't work try using a chemical agent from the store. Before you go and spend money at the store though, if you have baking soda and some vinegar handy, you can mix those together and pour them in the drain and try to plunge that but if all else fails they have stronger remedies at your local hardware store. Frozen http://www.presspubs.com/white_bear/news/article_af1c2a34-6f18-11e8-9923-3f4b1f823bda.html can lead to many problems, most of them expensive to fix. So you want to avoid that at all costs. To avoid frozen pipes, make sure the temperature in your home never drops below 55 degrees. Look for any air leaks around your pipes and make sure they're sealed up. Make sure that your tool box is ready for any project you are preparing to do. The last thing you want is to be knee deep in a job only to find that you are missing the one tool you need to finish. Be sure to have various sizes of pipe wrenches that can be used to complete any job. If you need a plumber, check out his or her credentials first. Sometimes plumbers will not be very good at their job, and can even make problems worse than they are. Look for reviews on the internet, and ask your friends and family if they can recommend a good plumber. To protect your money from unsavory plumbers, always get a written estimate before paying a cent or committing to a project. Good businessmen know to under-promise and over-deliver to savvy customers. Once a stated number is given, it is highly unlikely that your plumber will exceed the projected costs of the project. Always check your toilet and make certain it isn't leaking. An excellent method of checking this is by dropping a few food coloring drops in the tank of the toilet. Now look at the bowl, if you see the water turning colors within seconds, you know there is a problem that much be addressed soon. Do not place items in the toilets that do not belong there. For example, if you are a female, do not throw away sanitary pads or tampons in your toilet. This could cause severe damage to your toilet that could require a plumber, or even worse, a whole new toilet! To clear mineral deposits from your showerhead, try a soak in white vinegar. Simply add a cup or two of vinegar to a plastic bag and tape it around the showerhead, ensuring that it is submerged. Leave the bag on for an hour, and the vinegar will dissolve the mineral build-up, allowing water to gush through like it was when it was new. If you think you understand what is wrong with your toilet, but aren't sure, you should first do some more research on the internet. Most plumbing problems are fairly standard, and you should be able to read about the problem in great detail on several amateur plumber forums to make sure you understand the problem. To check for toilet leaks, especially if it seems like your toilet is chronically running, use a few drops of food coloring in the toilet tank. If http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20180602/mark-patinkin-anne-plumbers-made-career-of-going-against-flow is leaking into the bowl, you will see color in about a half hour. Replacing tank parts can repair leaks and greatly save on water consumption. For those who are conservation minded, purchasing a water heater that is tankless is a wise investment. Tankless water heaters only heat water when needed because they aren't used to store water. This will save money as only water that is needed is being heated, not additional reserves that sit unused in a tank. Check for calcium and mineral deposits by turning on both the kitchen sink and the bathtub. If the volume of water is low, it may be time for you to replace pipes due to deposits of calcium and other minerals. Check the water pressure and consider calling a professional to handle the entire job. If you have an automatic sprinkler system, you want to consider getting a spring-loaded timer which can be attached directly to your hose. This prevents your lawn from getting too much water in case you forget to turn your system off. Getting too much water could kill your grass and plants. Keep an eye on the grout between tiles in your bathroom. Watch for cracks and areas where the grout seems to be falling out, and repair them immediately. Small grout crack issues can be easily repaired by pulling out the bad and putting in new grout. Allow any new grout to dry completely before exposing it to water. It is very important to know how to do plumbing yourself, because it could save you a lot of money over time. You'll be an awesome resource for your friends and family, and you can also save yourself a lot of cash, as well. Hopefully, these ideas were useful, easy to understand and have triggered some inspiration that will help you get your plumbing issues cleared up faster and for less money in the future.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Thousands of Pennsylvanians shop on line and until recently escaped paying state and county sales tax on their internet purchases, but that changed September1st when the state revenue department began to enforce a new law. “Anything that’s taxed in Pennsylvania will have to be taxed now via the internet,” Mary Bach, a consumer advocate, said. Bach worries that consumers will be hurt because the state sales tax has so many quirky exceptions. “I think there is a 100 percent chance that retailers in other locations outside of Pennsylvania who are doing business over the internet won’t have a clue,” she said. She’s right. Take the popular online retailer Amazon. KDKA’s Jon Delano went on to buy flea powder — not taxable in Pennsylvania — but when he was about to check out, a sales tax was added in. It’s not entirely the retailer’s fault. The sales tax law is wacky. “If you buy toilet tissue, you do not pay sales tax, but if you buy any kind of facial tissue, those items are taxable,” Bach said. Sometimes it works to the consumer’s benefit. Umbrellas are taxed in this state, but on Amazon, KDKA-TV found a large golf umbrella with no sales tax charged at check-out. Consumer advocates like Bach think consumers are more likely to lose out. If you feel that you have been wrongfully taxed and your online retailer won’t give you a refund, then the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue wants to hear from you.

Lindsey Vonn Shows Off Her 6-Pack Abs: 'I've Been Working Hard in the Gym' Lindsey Vonn is proud of her body. On Monday, the world champion skier, 36, shared that she's been "working hard in the gym" and showed off the results in a series of bikini photos on her Instagram. "You can judge me if you want, but I've been working hard in the gym and taking care of me.... so I'm going to post some bikini pics because I'm proud of myself," she captioned the shots. In the pictures, Vonn can be seen wearing a yellow two-piece as she strikes a fierce pose by the beach. The three-time Olympic gold medalist added in the caption, "💪🏻😁❤️ #beyourself." Vonn — who retired from competitive skiing two years ago — has been outspoken about body positivity in the past. In October, she called out body shamers in an Instagram post by sharing photo a number of images that celebrated her cellulite juxtaposed with some of the hateful comments that had been made about her. "I've posted quite a few swimsuit pics lately, which is scarier than it seems. Even as an athlete there are ruthless comments and media stories that tear apart my body and I admit it sometimes hurts me," Vonn wrote on Instagram at the time. "I'm a normal person and sometimes I slouch, my stomach folds over, my cellulite shows on my butt, or I don't fill out my swimsuit top just right. "I always remember how my body has helped me achieve amazing things in my life and I am proud of how strong I am," she continued. "I'm not a size zero and that's perfectly fine with me." RELATED VIDEO: Lindsey Vonn Wants to 'Uplift' Others With Body Positivity: 'There's No Need for Hate Online' In November, Vonn told PEOPLE that she feels like she's "finally in a really confident and happy place" after longtime struggles with her body image. "The pandemic taught me to love myself," she said. "It also taught me that we need to love each other. There's so much hate in the world, and we need to support each other. Who cares if you have cellulite or you have wrinkles? You don't need hair extensions or Botox or injections, just be yourself. With my dogs, they love me no matter what, and that's how we should treat other humans. That's just how I see it." Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Vonn added that she feels it's important to speak out against body shaming. "I don't have tolerance for that kind of stuff anymore," she shared. "Body image has always been a thing for me, but over the last seven, eight years, I've developed thicker skin. I couldn't block [the haters] out entirely until I loved myself. Now I'm able to stand up for myself and just be unapologetically me."

LOVE LETTERS TO THE SELLERS There’s nothing quite like falling in love… with a home. Every buyer has had that moment where, after what seems like an eternity of searching, they found “the one.” The home that’s vaulted ceiling, wood floors, large backyard, or perfect layout bring so much joy and visions of the future they “have to have it.” For buyers, purchasing a home is as much of an emotional decision as it is financial/practical one. The same is true for the seller. The offers sellers receive aren’t just for a piece of land and a house; they are for a home. A place where they’ve spent hours of their life with family and friends. A place filled with memories of both tears and laughter. This emotional connection is something many buyers have been able to use to connect with sellers and possibly get a leg up in the offer process. How? They write a love letter to the seller! A love letter to the seller is a letter the buyer writes and delivers along with their offer to tell the seller a little bit about themselves and why they love the home. Although this practice isn’t necessarily new, it is steadily gaining in popularity. Like mentioned before; selling a home is an emotional decision. Bringing humanity into the transaction can often sway a seller in favor of the buyer they feel they know. There is a flip side, though. Letters to the seller aren’t always the right choice. For some sellers the property might be one of investment instead of residence or the letter might backfire and cause more issue than it resolves. One Windermere agent recounted the time a buyer’s letter described how much she looked forward to her daughter growing up in the house. It turned out the sellers were not able to have children and the letter had brought up some rather unexpected negative feelings. Love letters can also pose some legal complications for the seller. Anti-discrimination laws imposed both federally and locally do not allow sellers to select which offer they will accept on the basis of protected class identity (race, religion, gender, familial status, etc). Suppose a seller gets a handful of similar offers on a property and a few have submitted letters along with their offer. If the seller verbally expresses to their agent, neighbor, or even a friend that they chose the buyer based on familial status (“We liked them best because they were a young family”), they are inadvertently put at risk for a fair housing lawsuit. This doesn’t mean love letters are illegal. It simply means both buyers and sellers should be mindful when sending and receiving letters. All housing decisions should ultimately be made on the terms of the offer, not the identity of the buyers. Sellers should always review all offer documents with their agent and ask about fair housing laws if they are confused or concerned. The most important thing is to make sure their final decision is not made based on the buyer’s demographics, but on if they are willing and able to purchase. Buyers should try and understand the history and motivation of the seller. Did they live in the house? Design the home? Lose a spouse there? This information can help a buyer understand which topics are safe to mentions in the letter and which topics to avoid. However, the best practice for a buyer in EVERY letter to the seller is to focus on the home. Talk about the features you appreciate, what drew you to it, and overall why you think it’s the perfect home for you. You Might Also Like:

(KTVI) - A convicted murderer has died while serving a life sentence for the 1989 killing of her teenage daughter. Maria Isa, 70, died early Wednesday morning in a Vandalia, Illinois prison. Isa was originally sentenced to death along with her husband. Authorities say she stabbed her 16-year-old daughter for resisting the family's Islamic traditions. The killing was caught on surveillance by the FBI who suspected Isa's husband of being involved with the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

As the UK government gets closer to General Elections, game industry group TIGA said it would continue to fight for tax relief for videogame developers up to and after such elections take place. TIGA’s reaffirmation came in response to a comment from MP Stephen Timms that, “We [the Government] will continue to look at the industry’s case for a change to tax treatment.” Citing M2 Research, TIGA claims that the game industry lost 11,488 jobs globally between late 2008 and 2009. Of these figures, 71.0 percent of the losses were in the U.S., while European losses were 13.0 percent of the total. However, 81.0 percent of the Europe-based jobs lost were in the UK. TIGA compares this to Canada’s 2.0 percent contribution to global game job losses, noting that a videogame-friendly tax environment “undoubtedly helped the Canadian games industry to weather last year’s economic storm.” TIGA CEO Richard Wilson added: The forthcoming General Election will give TIGA a great opportunity to raise the industry’s profile amongst parliamentary candidates of all major political parties. Results are achieved by perseverance. TIGA will therefore continue to fly the flag of our creative, innovative and successful industry amongst policy makers in order to achieve measures that make a tangible difference to our sector.

But based on the collective sigh of the room at the Women World Changes event in Sydney this morning, plenty of us couldn’t believe the cost of full-time childcare is capped at $425 a month in Norway. Yes, $425 a month. In some parts of Sydney, parents are spending almost half of that in just one day. As Crabb said, “That’s about what many people in the room spend on parking meters outside of childcare centres.” Norway spends around 0.5% of its GDP on childcare, where all children are given a right to childcare from the age of one and providers are required to ensure availability. Kløvstad added that scheduling meetings outside of school hours is considered socially unacceptable in Norway, while research has found that fathers continue to play an equal or near-equal role in raising children when they take their full parental leave entitlements. And in Norway, around 70% of fathers take up their full paid parental leave rights. Naturally a conversation on women’s workforce participation in Norway would quickly turn to quotas. Since 2008, it’s been compulsory for the country’s major listed organisations to have boards that are at least 40% female. Kløvstad said the law was proposed because voluntary measures had been unable to produce substantial change, with women holding just 7% of such roles in 2003. “It was hoped and expected that these changes would lead to a spill-over effect into other parts of the private sector,” she said. “The quotas forced companies and organisations to make that extra effort to find those qualified women, to look beyond their usual recruitment pools.” When the quotas were legislated, companies could choose to either enlarge their boards of substitute sitting men with women. Most boards chose to do the latter, with women appointed in similar ways to how men have been appointed for decades – through existing networks. Meanwhile, most parties in Norway also have a 40% female quota, and around 40% of the country’s elected officials are women. Nine of Norway’s 19 ministers are also female. So ready to pack your bags for Norway?

I told him my plan, and as I finished and turned to go to her, I noticed her standing right there, listening in on the whole conversation. FML Today, like every other day for many years, I have a phobia of bananas. This evening, the phobia came to a head when I had a nightmare in which I was stabbed to death by a gang of walking bananas. FML Today, I was proud when I started a confrontation with my best friend's brother because he is a sexist pig who treats women like crap. Six hours later my pride was gone: I made him an after-sex sandwich. FML Today, my parents kicked me out of the house because they were having a party. They gave me twenty bucks to go see a movie. Well, the movie ended pretty quick, but the trauma of seeing my parents in a swingers' orgy will take some time getting over. FML Today, a technician from my ISP came to my house to replace my router. He asked for a glass of water, one thing led to another, and for some reason I'll never fully understand, we ended up having sex. Looks like porn logic is not so far off the mark after all. FML Today, my mom was feeling down, so I decided to buy her a gift. Knowing she likes lighthouses, I bought her a tiny one that plugs in and lights up. I brought it home, plugged it in, and when she saw me with it, she said, "Wipe that smirk off your face and get that junk out of here." FML Today, I was watching some pretty intense porn on my Macbook. I unplugged the second monitor so I could lie on my bed. Instead of defaulting to the screen, Airplay somehow synced it to the living room TV, where the rest of my family was watching a movie. FML Today, I got into a debate with my boyfriend over whether or not oral sex was considered sex. I stood firm that it was not. Apparently, he took this as permission, as later that night I walked in on him not having sex with my sister. FML Friday 1 August 2014

Trent, over on Trent’s World, hosts a weekly blog post that collects smiles from bloggers all over the world. This week his featured smile is the bees that survived the Notre Dame fire. And he wonders what all of us have found to smile about lately. I did plenty of smiling this week, given the first part of the week I spent in Florida, walking beaches and exploring parks, and especially hanging with good people and wonderful dogs. And of course I flew home on Wednesday to my husband and my Katie-girl. Lots to smile about there too. Then last night I attended a community orchestra concert in a small town about an hour from here. On the early evening drive over to the venue the sky was filled with big beautiful blue bottomed clouds. I wished I had my camera and time to find a place to stop. I had neither. The concert was fun, and it was good to see an almost full house to support a community orchestra. There were some really talented people playing, and you could tell they were having a great time. After it was over I emerged from the high school to see the clouds were thinning, but still in evidence. And they were turning purple and pink. With only my phone to capture the beauty and in a community I didn’t know I set out trying to find an open field with a place to pull over before all the light was gone. I got a few good shots, and that, in combination with the evening’s music, made me smile. What made you smile this week?

Deet is not given to passing judgment on others, as she considers everyone to be their own individual person with the right to make their own choices. He calls himself a "fun Skeksis", implying that he is nowhere near as cruel as the others. But first, a tribute to the Archer is in order. I seen many people hoping that it's skekVar, one pointing to the fact he has spikes in the back of the head like he did. Which Harry Potter Order Member Is Your Soulmate, Based On Your Zodiac Sign? The official canon list of Skeksis (as displayed on the official Dark Crystal website) is Emperor, Chamberlain, Garthim Master, Ritual Master, Scientist, Slave Master, Gourmand, Ornamentalist, Scroll Keeper, Treasurer, Collector, General, Hunter, Satirist, Mariner, and Conqueror. A thousand years ago, this land was green and good, until the Crystal cracked … For a single piece was lost; a shard of the Crystal. SkekGra was originally conceived in 2012 for the scrapped animated series pitch The Great Conjunction, though the character was not fully developed. SkekShod bearing skekZok's scepter, obtained through bribery. He is known to contrive highly intricate ploys to get people to trust him, whether they were Gelfling or Skeksis. The Skeksis had scaley, reptilian bodies, with beak-like jaws and hooded eyes. He will hit it and you could hear it jingle. Which Dark Crystal Character Are You Based On Your Zodiac Sign? As a Gemini, Hup is deeply loyal to his friends, especially Deet, as seen when he saves her from an attacking Arathim spider. EDIT: I saw some discussion on this on the Facebook group for The Dark Crystal, and these two actually died shortly after their "birth". Share your thoughts, experiences and the tales behind the art. He exhibits the optimism of the Gemini sign, taking on both societal opposition and monstrous creatures with a proud spirit of self-confidence. Those proud to call themselves a Leo will see themselves in Rian, an inexperienced but extraordinarily heroic Gelfling. The Skeksis desire power, often fighting among themselves. RELATED: The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance: 10 Most Powerful Gelfling, Ranked. He also writes about TV and film, strewing his opinions across the internet to see if people care (they don't). She is a Grottan, meaning she is unfettered by the limits placed on the other clans by the scheming Skeksis overlords. References ↑ Froud, B., Dysart, J., Sheikman, A.& John, L. (2012). Her Virgo nature demands that her actions be flawless, explaining her decision to hand Rian over to the Skeksis. I'm glad to see artwork of this mysterious Skeksis, On facebook someone said he is apparently SkekNa the Slave master but I doubt that due to very different apperances (although they both have blue skin.) He supported skekZok in his failed bid to inherit skekSo's mantle as Emperor, and later plotted with him to overthrow the new Emperor, skekUng. , The character's pre-production notes described him as the thinnest Skeksis, representing the sin of avarice, and sporting an abacus collar and robes decked with weights, locks, measures and purses. During the succession crisis following skekSo's death, skekShod openly voiced his support for skekZok's ascension, and shared his ally's disattisfaction over skekUng's leadership. Skeksis. Find out what other deviants think - about anything at all. The two later distanced themselves from each other when skekNa did not defend skekShod during his beating, and subsequently found themselves supporting different candidates for the throne a thousand trine later. Being a Virgo, however, allows her to perform her queenly duties with an efficient blend of cold logic and a deep loyalty (to her people, as well as to Thra). One theory is that he is SkekVar due to the heretic looking similar to SkekVar's comic illustrations and explaining why SkekUng seems to be the only general (perhaps SkekLach framed SkekVar causing the emperor to banish the original general?) Although he was pleased to no longer be under skekSo the Emperor's authority, skekGra was still sensitive when reminded of his species and past.. A second theory is he is a brand new Skeksis who has a rivalry with SkekZok the ritual master (which would make most sense to his title of Heretic). Being a Capricorn, The Chamberlain is determined to regain his high standing, even if it meant killing the Skeksis who usurped him, The General. A young skekShod, after being beaten by skekSo, Shortly after the Great Division, skekShod defied skekSo when the latter proclaimed himself Emperor, but was beaten over the head as a result. He was a talented metallurgist, playwright and puppeteer, having forged the Dual Glaive, created Lore, and written and performed in The True History of Thra.

However it is important to note that AoR takes place before the Garthim Wars - before they existed. They entrusted the Glaive to urLii, who hid it in the Tomb of Relics, then created Lore, hiding him underneath the throne room of the Ha'rar royal palace in a chamber containing a message declaring the segregation between the Gelfling Clans as artificial. , A thousand trine later, he was made responsible for the collection of tithes from Sami Thicket. His bigotry, however, surpassed that of his superiors, as he saw the Gelfling as worthless even as allies. After many trine of consuming urdrupes, skekGra became eccentric and erratic, seeing himself as a "fun" Skeksis, though displaying typical Skeksis impatience toward his urRu counterpart's slow movements and speech.

In an older home, it’s likely that attic insulation has lost some of its performance capacity over the years. In fact, most insulation products will lose their full effectiveness after an average of 15-20 years, and therefore the ability to provide indoor comfort from season to season. When insulation performance begins to deteriorate, insulation removal and attic insulation upgrades in Vaughan are often the best approach going forward. This is particularly relevant when seasonal energy bills start to skyrocket – it’s a sure sign that energy efficiency requires upgrading. The truth is, poorly performing insulation doesn’t always mean that removal is required. This is where professional attic inspection services can be valuable. A good attic inspection can determine any insulation deficiencies and recommend viable remedies. Numerous factors will diminish insulation performance. Eventually, when performance levels aren’t meeting expectations, removal and replacement may be necessary. A comprehensive professional attic inspection will enable you to identify problems with insulation installed throughout the attic space. These Signs Could Indicate An Attic Insulation Problem: Some homeowners might undertake a DIY approach when it comes to inspecting the attic. This simply doesn’t compare with a professional inspection. When it comes to spotting insulation deficiencies, professionals know exactly what to look for and where to look. In fact, insulation experts often suggest twice-yearly inspections to keep on top of all types of attic and roof issues. While a professional inspection will determine insulation deficiencies, recommendations will also be made for remedies. When it comes to removing home insulation, a professional approach is highly recommended. This isn’t the right time for a DIY job. Sometimes, removing insulation is risky, especially if the existing materials are somehow contaminated. Worse still, there could be asbestos material present. Once removal is complete, specific repairs and retrofits may be required. This is certainly the best time to fix structural issues, improve airtightness in the attic cavity, and install appropriate ventilation. All of these upgrades will ensure maximum energy efficiency when the new insulation is installed. At EcoComfort Insulation & Contracting, we assess your insulation needs, identify areas that need upgrades, and recommend the best products and installations. There’s no question that attic insulation requires a professional approach. This is work that requires product knowledge and installation expertise. At EcoComfort, we do it all – from safe insulation removal to structural repairs to installing brand new products. And our focus is always on high-quality products and quality installation work. EcoComfort Insulation & Contracting offers a wide range of home insulation services for homeowners in Toronto and the GTA. As a professional attic inspection company, we also provide in-depth attic and roof assessments before any installation work. Please, enter a valid value

Today it's time to show you my results from the recently finished fourth cycle. Additionally I made "Bar Hangs" and "Double Leg Calf Raise from the floor with straight legs" 2 times per cycle and every day the "Trifecta" (compared to cycle 3 I progressed to step 2 in the hang & calf raise progression and also in every exercise of the trifecta!). This time I am satisfied with my results. I made good progress in every exercise and reached the target in wall push ups and wall headstands once. In the bridge progression I've started with straight bridges which represent the second step. This exercise is much harder than the short bridges but I feel good with performing them. My feelings about this cycle are absolutely positive and I can see progress in strength and appearence. Working out makes much more fun when you can see major improvements in your mirror as well :) The first 4 cycles are done by now and I'm going to think about adjustments in my plan. The day after tomorrow I'll post the plan for the next 4 cycles with adjustments. Have a nice day!

There is nothing like the joy of camping under the open sky with the ones you love. Camping is one of the most popular pastimes for a good reason. On the other hand, while camping can prove quite entertaining, there are important considerations to take into account. Keep reading to properly prepare for your camping adventure. Make sure that all of your friends and family are involved in choosing the camping site. Talk about which state you would like to go to. The options are plenty, so do your research! If it is the simpler option, try picking a few you favor and letting your whole family vote on them. Over-packing is better than under-packing when it comes to children. Camping can be dirty. Your kids may love playing around in the grass and dirt. This means that your kids will get dirty during the day. It is almost impossible to prevent, but luckily, you will not need to worry if you have extra clothes on hand. It’s best to be prepared. A tent needs to be the proper size for all people staying in it. You want to make sure that you have enough room in the tent for sleeping quarters and so that each person in the room has enough room. You may wish to take a class that has to do with first aid, especially if you’re traveling with kids. Accidents happen, and taking the right precautions will ensure you know how to better a poor situation. Be sure to research beforehand. You should be aware of the poisonous snakes, wild animals, etc., that inhabit the area. Take a bandana or handkerchief with you. They can serve many purposes, like potholder, blotter, hand towel, or carrying bag. There are a lot of different uses for it, so make sure you bring one on every camping trip with you. Don’t wait until nightfall to set up camp. Find a safe place to park if you’re in an RV. Find a piece of ground that’s flat and dry if you are putting up a tent. This should be done before nightfall as is it much more difficult to navigate when it is dark. It is also easier for you to see what is happening, so you won’t feel so frustrated. Make sure that you bring all of your camping equipment with you before you head out on your trip. You would be pretty irritated if it turned out that you left your sleeping bag or tent back at home. Have a checklist of the items you need before you leave lest something is left behind. If you are new to camping, you should camp near your home. If you want to end your trip, you will be close to home. Novice campers sometimes don’t pack enough food or clothing, which is a problem if they are far away. There could be a lot of reasons why you need to end your trip early, so keeping your first trip close to home can save a lot of headaches. Make sure that you bring items along with you that will make your camping trip more fun. Playing cards, board games, and fishing poles can make for lots of fun. If the kids are camping with you, you’ll need to increase the number of entertainment items that you pack. Camping is about being one with nature and living off the basics, but it is important to go prepared. Though a sleeping bag is great, extra blankets can also be useful. This helps to warm you up in case it gets too cold at night. They are also good to use for extra padding. Make a list of your required camping gear and double-check it while packing. Just neglecting to include a thing or two can completely ruin the outing. You might want to create a checklist of things you need to bring. Don’t forget to include your sleeping bag, water, knives, prepared food, hand gel, soap, and your tent. When selecting an area for your tent, look for the area of the campsite with the flattest and softest ground. Pitching your tent on bumpy, rocky ground or a slope won’t make for a very comfortable night’s sleep. Make sure to put a tarp down so that water cannot penetrate your tent. Before leaving for a camping journey, be sure to draft a list of necessary supplies. This is particularly helpful if you have to travel quite far to get where you are going. Start getting things together a couple of days before you plan to leave, and check things off the list as you pack them. A tasty orange provides a peel that can help repel nasty mosquitoes. This is especially helpful if you forget bug spray, but have oranges on hand, or can borrow them from someone at your camping trip. Experts have disclosed that simply rubbing the inner peel of a ripened orange on exposed skin can act as a repellant. This can last a few hours and make your trip a more comfortable one. It is a good idea to have a cell phone that is fully charged in your car or base camp. Or, bring an extra battery just in case your battery dies. Your cell phone makes for excellent emergency equipment, so you must ensure it does not die. As mentioned earlier, anytime you plan to head into the wilderness, you need to keep several things in mind. Use the advice from this article so your camping trip will be safe and enjoyable.

I felt like translating something again, so I’ll be doing weekly manga translation threads. I’m not a scanlator though, which means all I can provide are raws and scripts. I’m doing it anonymously for now, so this page is just meant to help keep track of everything in the future. The first series I’ll be doing is Amaama to Inazuma. It’s really adorable. Go read it. Picked up by Maigo scans, so I’m stopping at volume 1. I’ll be doing the rest of Akatokisei Residence next.

Canberrans are being urged to have their say on a draft strategy to conserve the ACT’s rivers and the land alongside them as well as five threatened fish species and two threatened plant species. The draft 2018 Aquatic and Riparian Conservation Strategy examines ways to manage and repair the ACT’s waterways given the threats posed by climate change, water extraction, overfishing, erosion and sedimentation, pest plants and animals and disease. It also includes action plans for two threatened riparian plant species – Tuggeranong Lignum and Murrumbidgee Bossiaea – which are only found in the ACT, and five threatened fish species – the Two-spined Blackfish, Macquarie Perch, Murray River Crayfish, Silver Perch and Trout Cod. In launching the consultation process at Casuarina Sands on Tuesday (January 23), ACT Environment Minister Mick Gentleman said that conserving the ACT’s rivers and the land alongside them is crucial to the ongoing survival and well-being of the wildlife that relies on them, as well as the environment and the community. “The Conservator for Flora and Fauna is asking the community to comment on the draft 2018 Aquatic and Riparian Conservation Strategy, which looks at how we can best continue to manage and repair our precious waterways,” Mr Gentleman said. “We are particularly keen to hear the community’s views on how to improve and increase their engagement in river-based activities and projects, for example by supporting and promoting citizen science, increasing awareness and engaging with local Indigenous communities on traditional ecological knowledge.” According to the draft strategy, the waterways being looked at are the Murrumbidgee, Molonglo and Cotter rivers and their tributaries. “Our waterways provide many critical ecosystem services. They are vital providers of water for consumption and habitat for plants and animals, as well as being sought out as aesthetically beautiful places,” Mr Gentleman said. According to the draft strategy, managing threats is a key strategy for conserving and restoring aquatic and riparian zones in the ACT. “Aquatic and riparian areas are vulnerable to many threats because water resources are in great demand and subject to competing pressures from environmental needs and human activities such as irrigation, recreation, domestic and industrial extraction,” the draft strategy states. “The reduction in water availability is a key threat for aquatic and riparian areas in the ACT. “These waterways are also threatened by a lack of connectivity, reduced water quality, pest species, adverse land management practices and other anthropogenic impacts. In addition, climate change is likely to exacerbate current and future threats.” Mr Gentleman said the draft strategy builds on the achievements of the original 2007 strategy. “The strategy provides conservation management guidelines for the protection and enhancement of river areas; identifies threats and provides guidelines for threat management; outlines monitoring and research objectives; provides the strategic context for the action plans; and suggests strategies to increase community awareness and involvement.” The draft 2018 Aquatic and Riparian Conservation Strategy and action plans are open for comment until 11 March 2018.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Les Richter still maintains his home in Riverside, where he managed Riverside International Raceway for 23 years after a Hall of Fame football career with the Rams. But if you want him, you'd better first look down here at NASCAR headquarters or up in Washington, D.C. The old Coach, as he's been known since his football days, was promoted last week by NASCAR President Bill France Jr. to vice president in charge of competition development, which means that Richter is stock-car racing's long-range man in expanding the sport's horizons. One of his biggest concerns is the future of his old stomping grounds. Two of NASCAR's 29 races have been held at Riverside every year since 1970, but the future is bleak. Fritz Duda, owner of the Riverside racing facility, has announced plans to close the track after this season. At the same time, Duda said that he hoped to find a site for a replacement track. No site has been found, though, and with the 1987 season less than 18 months away, it may be difficult to maintain existing contractual commitments. Two of those commitments involve Winston Cup races--one in June and the other the season-finale in November. For the last seven years, the NASCAR championship has been decided in the final event. "The Riverside ownership is working hard, harder than a lot of people give them credit for, in seeking a new site," Richter said. "NASCAR has set a timetable for its 1987 plans, and we will be reviewing that timetable with the Riverside people in the near future. "Dan Greenwood (Riverside president) has two sites he hopes could be viable as a race track. We would hope that by the end of Speed Weeks we will know something." Speed Weeks will end with Sunday's Daytona 500, opening event of the 1986 NASCAR season. Richter and the stock car hierarchy are already hedging against the possibility of having no Southern California track. "We at NASCAR need a race track in California because of its market value," he said. "We would prefer a permanent facility, with an oval track, but if the present management at Riverside is unsuccessful, we are committed to looking elsewhere. "Our options include Laguna Seca, Sears Point, perhaps even Phoenix, or maybe a street course similar to Long Beach." Toward future use of more road courses, such as Watkins Glen, N.Y., which will have a race this year, NASCAR has had a prototype race car, called the LR, built. The L and R stand for left and right , and the new car is being designed with the expansion into road and/or street courses in mind. It is smaller, has a shorter wheelbase, is much lighter--2,600 pounds compared to 3,700 pounds for current models--and, as the name implies, will be balanced to turn both directions, not just left. "Our cars have always been built for ovals, and they relate better to ovals, but to grow, we are going to have to go to other places to run," Richter pointed out. "The LR cars would give us the opportunity to expand our market potential. "It would allow NASCAR to take its program into places such as the Meadowlands, Tamiami Park in Miami, Long Beach or street facility in new locations." The LR car, an experimental Chevy built by Richard Childress, is sitting in the garage area at Daytona International Speedway for racers to study. It is scheduled to make its debut as part of the Winston Cup series in August of 1987 at Watkins Glen. Most NASCAR teams now have three cars--one for superspeedways, such as Daytona; one for short tracks, and one for Riverside, for many years the only road course where the stock cars ran. "We feel that the LR cars will reduce costs and make it possible for teams to need only two different cars. The LR should be perfectly compatible for short track racing as well as road courses." Another result of the LR program will be expansion of the 29-race schedule to as many as 36 races, allowing NASCAR to move into more nationally lucrative markets and out of its Southeastern mode. Currently, 20 of its 29 races are in the Southeast. "One reason for making this (managerial) change is to establish a strong base for our continued growth," France said in announcing Richter's new position. "We feel Les Richter's increased involvement and new responsibilities is a step in the right direction." Richter will also continue in his role as the National Motorsports Committee's legislative lobbyist in Washington, acting as a watchdog against tax reform plans that would eliminate or reduce sports entertainment as a deductible business expense. "If the President's proposal for zero deductions were to be adopted, it could seriously affect the American economy," Richter said. "It could ruin the spectator sports and entertainment industries, as we now know them. This includes college sports as well as professional." Last year Richter was in Washington full time, establishing a coalition among professional and college sports--all sports, not just motor racing--restaurants and theaters.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — People waited anxiously in long lines throughout the Dominican Republic on Wednesday, eager to submit applications for legal residency before a midnight deadline and avoid possible deportation. Many had been waiting since the night before, clutching documents they hoped would be sufficient to establish their legal status and allow them to stay in a country that, for some at least, is the only home they have ever known. Nearly all are from Haiti or of Haitian descent. “I have nothing in Haiti,” said Jaquenol Martinez, a sugar cane worker waiting to submit his application under a program to register migrant workers that began a year ago. Martinez said he has been in the Dominican Republic since he came from neighboring Haiti with his parents as an 8-year-old in 1963. Under the “regularization” program, he should qualify for legal residency, but the Haitian government has yet to provide him with a birth certificate to establish his identity. Others said they had similar difficulties getting identification from the Haitian Embassy or have been unable to get documents from employers in the Dominican Republic, where many work under informal arrangements in construction, agriculture or as gardeners and maids. “On my own, I haven’t been able to resolve anything,” said Delinua Jean-Francois, who said he had been harvesting sugar cane in the country since 1984. The immigration registration program was supposed to have started in 2004 but it was delayed by legal challenges and didn’t begin until last June. Non-citizens must show they have been in the country since before October 2011 to qualify for legal residency. The law is aimed at regulating the historic flow of migrants from impoverished Haiti to the relatively wealthier Dominican Republic. The government pushed it forward last year amid international criticism of a Supreme Court decision saying people born in the country to non-citizens did not qualify for citizenship under the constitution unless they had at least one parent who was a citizen or legal resident. The ruling rendered thousands effectively stateless. The government said about 50,000 people in this category will be granted citizenship. The Interior Ministry has said there are about 500,000 people who could qualify for residency under the program. So far, about 250,000 have registered, but officials said only about 10,000 have produced sufficient documentation. Those who have registered have temporary documents that will allow them to remain while their cases are evaluated. Although Dominican officials sent some Haitians across the border at Malpasse, Haiti, on Wednesday, authorities have said they don’t plan mass deportations soon. Still, the country’s migration agency has prepared about a dozen buses and set up repatriation centers. “There is a lot of uncertainty and worry,” said Joseph Cherubin, director of an organization called the Sociocultural Movement of Haitian Workers. Human rights groups say they fear that migration agency officials and the military will deport people arbitrarily if they look Haitian or speak Spanish with a Creole accent as has been done in the past. Associated Press journalists along the border said about 12 people were deported Wednesday, some claiming they had been in the country before October 2011. Another concern is an estimated 50,000 people who have no documentation at all, including many who were born in the Dominican Republic. Some may qualify to stay but have no way to prove their claim and could be deported to a country they know nothing about. “It would be catastrophic because they have never been in Haiti, they don’t know anyone there, they don’t have family,” said Chiari Ligouri, a researcher for the Caribbean chapter of Amnesty International. “What would happen with them?” The Haitian government has cleared a field near the border-crossing point at Malpasse to provide assistance to people who have been deported. That area was deserted Wednesday except for some guards and construction crews. Some Haitians apparently were unwilling to wait around the find out what will happen: A local TV station broadcast images of what it said were Haitians in vehicles loaded with furniture and other belongings, headed for the border.

O U T F I T D E T A I L S one of my favorite trends for fall is animal print and what better print is there than leopard?! i’ll wait… oh yeah, none *insert sticking tongue out face*. LOL this skirt from topshop is what leopard print dreams are made of. i’m wearing a size 2 which fits like a size 0 in australian sizing. i purchased this skirt at nordstrom, but topshop is the brand in case you were confused…. one of my favorite details about the skirt is the zipper in the front, you don’t normally see that and i love the edginess of it. i’m also loving this top. it’s super lightweight and you can wear it normal or off the shoulder. it’s super versatile, but still a good staple piece to have in your closet. i also bought this from nordstrom and it comes in multiple colors. 🙂 let me know if you have any questions at all! happy shopping xx

This is the only finished artwork I have of one of my children that was done completely from real life. It is considered preferable to paint or draw from a real subject, as opposed to using a photograph. But how does one get a child to sit still, even for five minutes? This son in particular was an extremely busy four-year-old, the age he was when I did this drawing. So I captured him asleep. And as one of his teachers reminded me recently, he still has a hard time sitting still.

You may watch below the official trailer of The Terror of Hallow’s Eve, the upcoming horror fantasy thriller movie directed by Todd Tucker based on a script he co-wrote with Ronald L. Halvas and Zack Ward and starring Caleb Thomas, Sarah Lancaster, Annie Read, JT Neal, Mcabe Gregg, Niko Papastefanou, Doug Jones, Kent Kasper, Christie Nicole Chaplin, Christian Kane, Brett Stimely, Eric Roberts, Reatha Grey, Jade Warner, and Jentzen Ramirez: THE TERROR OF HALLOW’S EVE “Growing up is hrd and for fifteen-year-old Timmy Stevens it’s no exception. Scrawny and nerdy, he’s relentlessly tormented by the town bullies. His only escape is his love of horror and the creatures he creates. A chance run-in with his tormentors in a convenience store parking lot on Halloween leaves Timmy brutally beaten. Walking home he stumbles upon a mysterious pumpkin. Despondent from the vicious attack he escapes to his private world and begins carving the pumpkin, wishing for revenge. Unknowingly, Timmy summons the Trickster, an ancient evil, who offers to grant his wish — scare the bullies to death.” This definitely looks promising.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 BACK TO THE ORIGINAL ‘Z’ WITH THE TAMIYA FAIRLADY 370Z We’re looking for new wheels at SMN Towers, and were at the local Nissan dealer yesterday, kicking the tyres of a Note, Qashqai, and an X-Trail. Of course, the one we’d really like would be a late-used 350Z. It’s a handsome brute, but with no room for bikes, cameras, tripods and computers aboard, it can’t be on the IWOOT list, sad to say. We also had a look at the 350Z’s replacement, the 370Z, which is a somewhat dumpy-looking retro version of the original 240Z of 1969, so Mat’s report is a timely one. Now read on... Report by Mat Irvine The latest incarnation of Nissan’s Z-car, and the latest 1:24 scale kit from Tamiya, is the 370Z, in Japan known as the Fairlady Z. This is a ‘curbside’ kit, a term derived from US model makers to describe a model car without a separate engine, therefore destined to sit forever by the curb! But even as a curbside, this 370Z (the sixth-generation ‘Z’, released in December 2008) is full of the sort of detail one expects from Japan’s best-known name in modelling. Although there’s no separate engine, the rest of the drivetrain is fully represented and, given that much of the underside is painted the body colour - in this case I sprayed the car in Chrysler Daytona Yellow from Testors - it’s worth taking time to pick out the details as well. For the interior you get both left- and right-hand drive instrument panels and, given Tamiya’s penchant for detail, there are even separate decals for the speedo in mph and km/h. You’d be hard-pressed to read them, but it’s nice to know they are there. Even the seats differ slightly, left- to right-hand drive, as the driver seat squab changes sides. Two sets of wipers are also provided. The kit consists of some 100 parts, and is moulded in black, white, and two lots of vacuumed-plated parts - satin and bright chrome - plus the usual clear and transparent red for head and tail lights. These are works of art in their own right, with the clear ‘reversing’ lens being a separate item that fits inside the rest of the red tail light. Finish off with the metallized decals that correctly match the badges and you have yet another example of Tamiya’s Sports Car Series (complete with ‘muscular body styling’) to add to your collection. The kit was supplied by Tamiya UK distributor, The Hobby Company, which you can visit here. Note you may also see Italeri's new Arado floatplane on the THC site - report coming soon! The 370Z is also available to purchase online with other Tamiya Nissans here.

One of the strangest side effects of my years working with hospice was the collapse of my sense of belonging. I had no idea beforehand, how much of my identity was tied up with the various beliefs I held and the different groups I identified with because of them. National, ethnic, familial, political, economic, spiritual, you name it, I had come to define most of who I am by the ideals I held. But then, as I entered homes filled with beautiful, vulnerable, dying people…who it just so happened believed in a wide variety of things that were frequently different, even opposite, from my own…I made the unwelcome discovery that many of my ideals were actually fed by lurking, unconscious prejudices that lay, seeping and contaminated, just underneath. I was naturally horrified. One of my biggest prejudices was against the medical/industrial complex and especially the pharmaceutical branch. (Please understand, my admission of a prejudice is not to say there isn’t a problem. I’m not alone in my concerns about our over-prescription, over-use, and over-reliance on drugs. A lot of thoughtful people, both in and out of the medical field, are worried about it.) But for complex reasons, including a couple of personal encounters with disrespectful (and in one case unethical) doctors, I went beyond simple concern into deep prejudice. I began to think badly of medical, pharmaceutical, and health insurance people as a whole. I came to question not only their motives but their basic humanity. I secretly began to suspect they were monsters. But then one day I had this irresistible urge to work with the dying and as a result, actually entered into the medical/industrial complex as a participating member. I joined a hospice, took a class, and became a nursing assistant. I did my clinical hours in a nursing home. Visited patients in hospitals. Worked closely with nurses and doctors and even filled prescriptions at pharmacies, delivering them to the people I helped care for. And lo and behold! Somewhere along the line, in the gentle, surprising way that grace frequently delivers its gifts, I rediscovered the value, relief, and miracle that modern technological advances have to offer. I discovered there aren’t really any monsters after all, just an odd amalgamation of deeply caring, deeply flawed human beings. As a result of this journey, modern medical technology has taken on a slightly different cast for me. Not so much a cold, uncaring, manipulative, disrespectful power that takes over our bodies and ignores our humanity, but an offering of something extraordinary, a possibility of the truly miraculous. I had a patient once. Maggie–dear, beautiful, polio stricken Maggie Full Of Grace–who wrote a little book about her sixty year journey with the disease and it’s after effects. I read it after she died and in it I found the answer to a question I’d always wondered but never found the courage to ask her. How did she feel to be one of the last to ever contract polio? The vaccine was introduced two years later and the disease, for all intents and purposes, was eradicated. Did she ever feel cheated? Did she ever think Why me? Why wasn’t it discovered two years sooner? I found the answer in her book. First, she described the terror she and her husband initially experienced in those earliest days, not for her but for their three small children, the fear that they might also contract the virus. She’d been nursing her five-week old baby at onset so he was particularly exposed. That description was then followed by this passage: “One of the greatest blessings I would later thank God for is the presence of the vaccine, the fact that our children and grandchildren will never get polio.” I started to cry when I read it. It was as though she was still there whispering to me. Still trying to answer the secret question, the real question, I so desperately needed to ask her. She’d been powerless to stave off infection from the polio virus itself, but somehow she’d successfully fought off the bitterness and regret that so often follows in the wake of such trauma. How? In the face of decades of the resulting hardship and suffering, how in the world did she protect her heart from that kind of collapse? And somehow there the answer was, miraculously written down for me in her book. Her love for her children and gratitude that they were spared served as her vaccine. The power of those two emotions filled her heart with a kind of immunity that no bitterness, however real, however justified, could overcome. It was something I’d always heard but somehow never really understood before, the simple difference between looking at a glass as half full rather than half empty. Both realities are always true. Both have an impact that must be absorbed and coped with. But the choice of which one to cleave to is always ours, which one we’ll ultimately allow to fill our vision and heart. I’d never understood before, how often I fill my own with emptiness. No wonder I’ve struggled with so much sadness. It was the people I met like Maggie Full Of Grace who started anchoring me back into an older place inside myself, turning me into a person far more tolerant and oblivious than I’d been before. Over time things like politics and religious differences, economic backgrounds and cultural beliefs, all the myriad and ever-multiplying array of opinions that seemed to matter so freaking much beforehand just didn’t anymore. Over time I became freer and happier and better and more loving…and increasingly confused by the change. It was like climbing up to the peak of the very highest mountain in the middle of a vast wilderness where I could finally see forever and ever… but then the wind sucked the map out of my hands and blew it away. The views were spectacular in a way that knocked me to my knees, sure, but how the hell was I ever gonna find my way back out? (Don’t delete this photo again dammit…it’s my picture!) How was I supposed to navigate without the instinctive bearings my prejudices gave me? I’m still, five years later, struggling to figure that one out. Maggie came forward in time sixty years to instruct me on the brutal, harsh reality of how it really was back then. Watching her struggle every single day within her twisted, paralyzed body, hearing her stories of those long, painful, uncertain months in the polio hospital, of how many husbands abandoned their wives, how many crippled children were left behind and forgotten, all these things brought that world to life for me. I finally got it, why the word, polio, used to strike such terror into the hearts of all who heard it. Why Jonas Salk was such a hero and how the vaccine really was a miracle of deliverance. Life before penicillin, immunizations, knowledge of basic hygiene, and the vast array of other developments and discoveries we have today was often cruel. What we were forced to rely on instead back then was Adaptation with all its tools—the human qualities of creativity, determination, strength, patience, fortitude, and grace. And now, today, we sit at the junction of these two ages, emerging from a period of helpless vulnerability when we were forced to cultivate our deepest, inner humanity just to cope and survive, and entering into an age of blossoming outer powers where we no longer have to simply grit our teeth, accept, and endure. We’ve discovered a will, an intelligence, and an imagination within ourselves that can generate miracles…and the breakthrough is heady. It’s created an insatiable hunger within us for more power, more knowledge, more salvation. We now dream wild and intoxicating dreams of freedom from all disease, all aging, all pain, all suffering. Even, perhaps, from death. But I’ve watched a strange and disturbing thing happening as our outer powers increase. It seems that our inner powers, the long-cultivated wisdom of our deepest humanity, seem to be diminishing as they lay, forgotten and misplaced in the hallways just outside of research labs and insurance offices and fear-filled waiting rooms. The ancient tools that served us for thousands of years—things like courage, sacrifice, endurance, surrender, the ability to recognize and be grateful for all that we still have—are threatening to atrophy with a current wave of under-use. And in their place things like fear, anger, blame, grasping, desperation, and bitterness frequently rise instead. I have hope though. I don’t think the current trends will last. I suspect that we’re simply in the first flush of wild discovery and have yet to understand the limits, comprehend the costs, of pure, unbridled dreaming. After eons of helpless suffering the pendulum is swinging wildly to the other extreme , but pendulums always swing back. Someday we’ll remember that we can’t just eradicate things like suffering and death because to do so would also eradicate the great arc of wounding and joy that is life. No. I think we’ll eventually settle down, find some equilibrium, and begin the practical task of roping in our miracles, tethering and training them, instead of letting them stampede through our lives, trampling the older, extraordinary knowledge we’ve already developed. Here’s hoping for a divine marriage between the two someday soon. A day when our modern technology becomes firmly anchored in our ancient humanity, and when our collected wisdom is further deepened by the discoveries and miracles of today. copyright 2010 Dia Osborn

The Internet opens a floodgate of options for customized do they make a 24 hour blank calendar in publsihser. These embody many web sites offering free interactive calendars and printable calendars that may be customized. A few of these choices embody Backyard Graphics calendars, that are small desk calendars, and printable moon part calendars, that are either zip-filed total yr calendars or individual monthly calendars, depending in your selection. There are additionally draw calendars with clean spaces on top, mini-year calendars with the entire yr on one web page, time and date calendars the place special dates and events may be marked, calendar pages for hanging, printable kid’s craft calendars for teenagers, and lots of more. Sure web sites also enable one to get public occasions or private and collaborative calendars, which can be utilized in private websites. In planning any calendar printing undertaking, the obvious truth to pay attention to is that each calendar is a time-sensitive product with a built-in distribution deadline. For the standard 2014 calendar, if your calendar is just not ultimately consumer’s arms before January 1, 2014, they could already have found an alternate. For a non-standard calendar that deadline may be sooner (eg., a school-year calendar needs to be within the user’s palms close to the beginning of college if it’ll be useful to them). Working backwards from this absolute deadline can provide you a good timeline for your complete mission. do they make a 24 hour blank calendar in publsihser could be damaged down into 4 activities: planning, manufacturing, advertising, and distribution. Since we are working backwards, we’ll begin with distribution. The calendar printing strategy planning stage includes every little thing that comes before the handoff to the printer. Some planning items will take time. Initially, assemble a team. The more people who invest their time in your calendar the more profitable it is going to be. You will have to assemble artwork. In case you have images already and also you just need to sort via them, that is great. If it is advisable solicit pictures or maintain a photo or art contest (we can help with that!), then you have to to allow extra time for that. A contest might have time to run as well as time to market so that you’ve got satisfactory participation. You additionally need to gather the whole lot else that goes within the calendar, presumably together with date info, captions, logos, mission statement, letter from the director/president/minister, and so forth. Will your do they make a 24 hour blank calendar in publsihser embrace advertising? If that’s the case, then you have to to ensure that someone (or better but a staff) contacts businesses to promote them promoting area and collects advertising artwork from them. Sometimes promoting art work is so simple as a business card, but other times it can take longer than anticipated to collect all the advertising artwork. Be sure you permit plenty of time for this. So, how quickly should you start engaged on it if that you must print a calendar that is customized to your specs? That all depends. When you have all the things ready for your printer and distribution can be a simple hand-out, then three to 4 weeks lead time may be ample. If, nevertheless, it’s important to assemble a group, gather photographs and textual content, promote advertising, plan a advertising and marketing marketing campaign, manage sales groups, and/or place calendars in retail stores, you then’ll must work backwards and figure out how a lot time you really need. It may prove that Might or June is the fitting time to begin planning your calendar mission.

1. Yuksom Dzongri Trek, west Sikkim Himalaya Duration: 05 – 08 Days Season: March – April; September – mid-October Dzongri trek is also known as the shorter version of Geocha la trek. The trek starts and ends at Yuksom in west Sikkim. During this trek one passes through magnificent rhododendron forests and can have magnificent views of snow clad peaks. This trek will grant you some spectacular views of Mount Kanchenjunga (the third highest peak in the world), along with Mt. Pandim 6691m, Mt. Kabur north 7338m, Mt. Kabur south 7317m, Mt. Kumbhakarna (Janoo) 7710m, Mt. Simvo 6811m, Mt. Kabru Forked 6108m, Mt, Frey Peak 5830m, Mt. Rathong 6679m, Mt. Kokthang 6147m and Mt. Goecha Peak 5127m. 2. Green Lake Trek, Sikkim Himalaya Duration: 14 Days Season: March – May; October – November The Green lake trek is one of the most beautiful and enchanting treks in Sikkim. It is also known as the base camp of mount Kanchenjunga on the Zemu glacier in north Sikkim. The trek starts from Zema along the Zemu River towards west. The trekkers go through thick forest, with several varieties of rhododendrons, other colorful flowers, and birds, crosses many waterfalls. Trekkers can spend their day lazing in the sun, watching the panoramic view of the great mountains of Sikkim. But one has to travel with proper equipments, food and a good guide because there are no huts or rest houses along the path; proper acclimatization is also essential to avoid altitude sickness. The best part about this trek is that it takes you to such a high point where you can have the grand view of the Mt Khangchenjunga and the distant Mt. Chomolhari in Bhutan. 3. Pin Parvati Valley Trek, Himachal Pradesh Himalaya Duration: 11 Days Season: June to mid-October The Pin Parvati Pass is a mountain pass in Himachal Pradesh, India. It was first crossed in August 1884 by Sir Louis Dane in search of an alternate route to the Spiti valley. This pass connects the fertile and lush Parvati valley in Kullu with the Pin valley in the Spiti. The exciting part of this trek is the high-altitude Maltalai lake and the Pin Parvati Pass, the abundant beauty of nature with attractive landscape, lush greenery, intense alpine forest and wild colorful flowers. Trekkers can also explore the ancient Buddhist monasteries in the region. It is often referred to as the most challenging trek in the Indian Himalaya and requires both physical as well as mental strength. 4. Rupin pass Trek, Himachal Pradesh Himalaya Duration: 06 Days Season: Late May to June; mid-September to mid-October Rupin Pass is a high altitude pass across the Himalaya mountain range in state of Himachal Pradesh, India. It lies on a traditional shepherd and hiking route which starts from Dhaula in Uttarakhand and ends in Sangla in Himachal Pradesh. Rupin Pass trek consists of trails dug out of rock faces and wooden bridges, cut through deep dark folds in the mountain, forests, waterfalls, glaciers and icy slopes, and over snow fields. Along the way there are white Rhododendrons and expanse of green meadows. One can constantly enjoy the blue water Rupin river flowing by the side. 5. Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Trek, Uttarakhand Himalaya Duration: 05 Days Season: mid-July to mid-August; September – mid-October Valley of flowers is UNESCO World Heritage site, and is renowned for its meadows of alpine flowers and majestic natural beauty. The Valley of flowers lies at an altitude of 3660Mts and is situated in the upper side of Bhyundar Ganga in the Garhwal Himalayas. This valley is 5 km long and 2 km wide.

Our Community-Managed Climate and Disaster Risk Reduction (CMCDRR) is one of our largest projects. Its goal is to help Banaba become less vulnerable to the floods which affect our community annually. This includes both disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The program is comprised of several key activities: Flood Early Warning System Our leadership carefully monitors rainfall both online and via a river monitoring system. That system includes both designated “river watchers” who observe the river and gauges in the river itself. Thanks to Frontline SMS and the support of SMART (may want to say what this stands for), we’re able to send rapid group texts with up to the minute information about river levels to vulnerable communities. Those communities have received training about when its time for them to evacuate and how to get to safety. Thanks to our early warning systems, even during the devastation of Typhoon Ondoy in 2009, we did not lose any lives in our area. Community-Managed Climate and Disaster Risk Reduction Community Based Rescue Teams In the event that a family is trapped by floodwaters, our community based rescue teams are there to pick them up by boat and bring them to safety. Each team is specially trained and equipped with a boat, life jackets, and basic first aid supplies. The teams are organised by area, and each team is comprised of vulnerable people who actually live in the at-risk community. This makes it easier for them to identify areas where families are most likely to be trapped as well as giving team members a sense of pride in looking after their community. Environmental Protection and Climate Change Adaptation Where the environment is degraded, the effects of disaster will always be worse as will general quality of life. At Buklod Tao, we’re fighting to protect the environment so that communities can have a safe, healthy future. We’ve partnered with groups like GreenPeace Philippines and the ECO Waste Coalition to campaign against littering, toxic waste, and the use of plastics in fast food chains, and our work fighting for mother earth continues today. Support our Work! We intend to expand our early warning system, train and equip more community based rescue teams, and continue advocating for mother earth, but to achieve our goals we need funding! Please consider making a donation today!

The news out of Washington keeps flooding out, and specifically news that’s being made straight from the Oval Office. In a meeting this morning with pharmaceutical industry executives, President Trump sent out a few new salvos in what might be described as a new “war on drugs.” This war isn’t about fighting the import of illegal drugs. Rather, it’s all about the pharmaceutical industry coming under fire from the president over the high cost of drug prices. Now, the industry is feeling the heat for where it makes its products, too. “I want you to manufacture in the United States,” President Donald Trump said to the group of pharmaceutical CEOs at the White House. This group included Robert A. Bradway, chairman and CEO of Amgen Inc. (AMGN), Joaquin Duato of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and Merck (MRK) CEO Kenneth Frazier. That meeting also came with President Trump’s admonition on costs: “We have to get the prices way down.” Yet there is good news on this new war on drugs. Rather than it being a war waged against pharmaceutical companies, President Trump wants to frame the government as an ally in helping the industry reduce costs. To offer aid and assistance in this new drug war — or, more precisely, this new war on drug prices — the president said he plans to reduce regulations and taxes to encourage more domestic drug manufacturing. The president has yet to provide any specifics on how his administration would foster renewed drug manufacturing in the U.S. But the most-obvious way to “encourage” it also is likely to cause costs to go up. That obvious way is to impose what the president has called “very major” border taxes on companies with operations overseas. This would comport with some Republican congressional proposals designed to increase taxes on imported goods. Taxes on imports would likely only serve to boost the cost of drugs for consumers. But the administration hasn’t worked that out yet. What President Trump has done is appoint two seasoned pharma executives — the aforementioned Frazier of Merck, and Alex Gorsky of Johnson & Johnson — to a 28-member advisory council that’s tasked with expanding manufacturing in the U.S. Though I’m quite sure President Trump would like to engineer a reduction in drug costs as well as an expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing in the U.S., these two goals will, I suspect, be difficult to achieve. While the pharmaceutical industry tries to work with the administration on reducing drug costs and increasing homegrown manufacturing, the industry has another front to deal with that has nothing to do with politics. That issue is the slew of drugs coming off-patent in 2017. In the case of Merck, the company has four big-selling drugs set to go off-patent in 2017. These include Invanz, Vytorin, Cancidas and Cubicin. Perhaps that helps explain why CEO Frazier is participating actively in ways to help the administration? Pfizer (PFE) is another big pharma firm with several very big drugs going off-patent. Somavert and Relpax are two of the company’s brands that will be off-patent this year. Yet by far the biggest seller is the company’s “little blue pill.” That’s right, Pfizer’s biggest drug, Viagra, is set to lose patent protection in 2017. Israeli generic pharma leader Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) is going to put out a generic version of the erectile dysfunction drug, and that will likely impact Pfizer’s bottom line. While Merck and Pfizer are the two biggest off-patent losers in 2017, they aren’t the only ones. Novartis (NVS) will lose Sandostatin LAR while Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) loses Reyatz. Both medications are respective billion-dollar products. Eli Lilly (LLY) also will suffer the loss of its Strattera, the ADHD treatment that brings in some $700 million per year. So, between patent losses — and the push for lower drug prices and more U.S. production — the pharmaceutical industry faces a lot of unknowns … as well as a lot of challenges … in 2017. Yet if the administration and Congress can make good on tax cuts and incentives for the industry, 2017 just might turn out to be a good year for the sector. Yesterday was the worst day for stocks in 2017. Today we were greeted with another triple-digit (-107, or 0.5%) Dow slide. This added to Monday’s 123-point drop, but the Industrials still logged a 0.5% gain for January. The January gains were bigger for the Nasdaq Composite (+4.3%) and the S&P 500 (+1.8%). Meanwhile gold’s 9% advance made this its best month since June. Weakness in the greenback and travel-ban uncertainty helped gold to rise. But neither factor did much for oil, which fell 1.7% during the first month of 2017. Elsewhere in the news … • The year’s first Fed meeting kicked off today. Traders are not expecting any rate hikes, after Janet Yellen telegraphed last month that the Fed is in “wait-and-see” mode. Traders are in the same mode — but this year, not only will they be awaiting tomorrow afternoon’s statement, but also Trump’s reaction to it. • Will that reaction come via Twitter (TWTR)? President Trump is tweeting from two accounts now, @POTUS and his @realDonaldTrump account. Shares gained 4% today. • 82% compliance: That’s how much OPEC is complying with its promised production cuts, according to a Reuters survey. The news lifted WTI crude 0.3%. • ExxonMobil (XOM) missed out on today’s oil gains. Shares fell 1.1% after the company’s EPS came in at 41 cents vs. 70 cents expected. Exxon took a $2 billion upstream asset impairment charge in Q4, which left it with $1.7 billion in net income (down from $2.8 billion in the year-ago quarter). • U.S. consumer confidence eased off its 15-year high. But survey respondents, while slightly more cautious, saw an uptick (from 3.3% to 5.9%) in their view of the jobs market. • A trifecta of misses on the earnings, revenue and guidance fronts sent Under Armour (UA) down 23.4%. CEO Kevin Plank says the “growth story is still intact” despite a 20% drop in footwear sales and 17% drop in apparel sales during the holiday Q4. • Pfizer (PFE) posted a Q4 profit today. It wasn’t a big one (47 cents per share), and it was 3 cents below estimates, but it beat last year’s quarterly loss. Several of its drugs will go off-patent this year, but it is hoping for approval of a new cancer drug along with approvals to expand three existing drugs’ uses. Shares gained 1.3%. • Apple (AAPL) returned to sales growth in its fiscal Q1. Shares dipped 0.3% during the day but shot 3% higher after-hours. EPS came in at $3.36 vs. $3.21 estimated thanks to surging iPhone 7 sales. Good luck and happy investing, Uncommon Wisdom Daily

Panning motion tests (e.g. www.testufo.com/photo ) automatically run at framerate==refreshrate, so they always look amazingly crisp and sharp on a CRT and on strobe backlights. You do not require 120 frames per second, it's only simply because of a LightBoost vendor limitation (like a fixed frequency CRT that only runs at 120Hz and not 60Hz). New strobe backlights have more flexible refresh rates. That said, lower strobe rates are more flickery, though. You adjust the refresh rate for a compromise setting. Low enough to be easy on the GPU, high enough to avoid flicker/lag. If you don't have a Titan, then the sweet spot is often around 85Hz, as has often been found in the old CRT days. In situations that frequently drop below the refresh rate minimums of a specific strobe backlight, G-SYNC is vastly superior. It provides greatly superior experience during the low frame rates, eliminating stutters and tearing so well in advanced games such as Crysis 3 -- as stutterfree 45fps often looks better than very-stuttery/teary 75fps. However, you do have to live with the motion blur, which sometimes bothers me quite a bit. I also think that variable-rate strobing, that gradually disables itself as the framerate falls below rates below flicker fusion thresholds, would be a very reasonable solution to the variable-rate strobing problem.Edited by mdrejhon - 1/15/14 at 2:07pm

As consumers become increasingly empowered through choice, channel and the vast variety of products and providers, they can be left uncertain of the best product for their situation. These ‘empowered’ consumers will ultimately decide which lenders have earned their trust. It’s imperative that businesses understand their customers’ needs in order to develop long lasting relationships. For businesses, this presents a huge opportunity – particularly to those who know their customers well. It’s no longer about just catering to the growing use of technology, instead it’s about winning customers over by understanding them better and demonstrating a great customer experience through the most appropriate product offerings and a personalised experience To find our more read, Senior Product Manager Dave Marshall’s in-depth article in full by clicking here.

Market Forces in the media Op-ed in the Business Times, 9 October 2018 THE launch in South Korea on Monday of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on avoiding runaway global warming hammered home some stark realities about the need to rapidly address climate change. The report stated that keeping warming to 1.5 rather than two degrees could save 10 million people from losing their homes to rising sea levels. This is no small matter, particularly for Singapore, which is already investing millions of dollars in protecting critical infrastructure from rising seas. Singapore expects sea levels to rise by 0.76 metres by 2100. Faced with rising sea levels and more powerful storms as the climate changes, airports around the world are having to invest in protective measures including higher runways, seawalls and better drainage systems. Of the world’s top 50 airports in terms of air traffic, 15 are at an elevation of less than 10 metres above sea level, making them particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Given the impact on investments, it’s no surprise that financial institutions around the world are starting to address the self-defeating strategy of enabling greenhouse-intensive projects that damage value in investments elsewhere. Since burning coal is the largest culprit in terms of carbon emissions, it stands to reason that the dirtiest of the fossil fuels would be the first item on the chopping block. In September, Standard Chartered became the latest institution to rule out finance for “any new coal-fired power plant projects, including expansions, in any location”. It follows hot on the heels of Singapore’s big three banks (DBS, OCBC and UOB), Japan’s big three banks (MUFG, SMBC and Mizuho) as well as HSBC, which have all made positive moves this year and updated their policies on coal lending. Standard Chartered’s new policy however is a cut above the rest. Clear, scientific reality While its peers in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan have fiddled around the margins with their coal policies, leaving the door open to finance new coal plants of particular types or in particular locations, Standard Chartered’s is the only policy that recognises the clear, scientific reality: if we are to avoid runaway climate change, we need to stop building new dirty coal power plants, full stop. Standard Chartered has also been a major player in the coal market. Since 2010, it has loaned at least US$1.8 billion to coal power, including US$820 million to projects that added 10.6 Gigawatts of additional coal power capacity. It was also active in syndicates for several new coal power plants prior to the policy update. But those projects are now incompatible with a policy that rules out an energy source that – in the words of Standard Chartered’s chair, Jose Viñals – results in “pollution that poisons both the environment and the people that live in it, higher temperatures that contribute to extreme weather conditions and destroy habitats, and rising sea levels”. Standard Chartered’s is the only policy that recognises the clear, scientific reality: if we are to avoid runaway climate change, we need to stop building new dirty coal power plants, full stop. Those new coal power proposals will now need to look elsewhere for finance. And today, that elsewhere could mean Singapore. Unfortunately, whilst Singapore is under threat from the affects of climate change and its government is in the midst of a vital “year of climate action”, coal developers in Vietnam and elsewhere could still find a sympathetic ear and an open chequebook among Singaporean banks. Relic of the past It’s a bad look and frankly it does not seem like particularly smart business. In key markets around the world, the price of solar and wind energy has already dipped below that of coal. Coal power is already a relic of the past, squeezed out by tightening climate regulations and renewable energy, which continues to decline in cost and improve in technology with every passing month. No wonder then that as far back as 2015, global investment in renewables was already double that of coal. There’s no shortage of studies demonstrating that Singapore’s neighbours can power their growth with clean renewable energy and Vietnam in particular is rapidly scaling up. Back in July, Singapore’s Sunseap began construction of the country’s largest solar plant in Vietnam’s Ninh Thuan province. In October 2015, Asean countries made a collective commitment to increase renewable energy by 2025 to 23 per cent of the region’s energy mix. To achieve this goal, the region needs to invest US$27 billion annually. But as things stand, Singaporean banks are doing little to meet that target. In fact, over the past five years DBS, OCBC, and UOB loaned nearly eight times as much to coal than renewable energy in Asean. Given our understanding of the science of climate change, coupled with the investment opportunities in clean energy, this situation has to change. Standard Chartered has raised the bar for all banks active in South-east Asia. Are DBS, OCBC and UOB up to the challenge?

Join free now! It is free to search locals Escort Mommy, Little girl struggles with College expenses; mom has an idea, incest tales. Concerning a year back, I was really having a hard time at University. Although my course was spent for thanks to my mama, my living expenses were simply way too much. I truly searched for a work, however no person would certainly provide me a job, not also as a dishwashing machine. My mom used to help yet I rejected, even though it seems foolish, I had some stability, I wished to survive without cash from my mama, who had actually currently paid a lot for my education and learning. I truly intended to prove to myself and also my mother that I was an adult currently; I required to be able to do this on my own. College had to do with 100 miles from residence as well as every weekend I would see my mommy, I did miss her, she resembled my friend. She treated me as an equal and we were open to speak about anything. She was a successful lawyer at a regional law office, though as a result of personal nature of her business she never did inform me much. Anyhow it was Thanksgiving of my second year, and so far I had actually simply managed to endure, yet I was so near to either giving up or robbing a bank. I arrived home to a frosty welcome. It was pretty chilly as well as the snow was boiling down quite quick, I only just managed to get house. Once residence I was welcomed comfortably by both my mom and also an extremely welcome fire. We did not have a family, simply the two people, so as usual it was just the two of us for thanksgiving, not that it troubled either of us, we took pleasure in each other's firm. However while we discussed basic stuff, my mind maintained discussing what mama had actually informed me. Mom was still a stunning woman, even if she had actually just turned 40, and her boobs look fantastic, even when she first had them done, I told her she looked so sexy which any type of male would want to be with her. I stated that if we remained in a room together filled with males, I wager all the men would certainly pick her, also without the breast implant she was rather. Mom thanked me for the compliment but claimed I was wrong which I was the really gorgeous one, she informed me that at least my large breasts were real, 36d in case you ask. So after dinner as well as cleaning up we returned to the living-room. My mind was still on what mom had actually recommended concerning me functioning as an escort, no doubt I would appreciate it, as well as being paid like mama for something we both appreciated was something that interested me. I believe I was just surprised, before she told me, I saw my mommy as a recognized female in the office, now I saw her as a very sex-related female, I can actually see that mommy looked happy, as well as who would not intend to make love with such a lovely female. It was just my entire image of mama had actually changed, which had not been a bad thing, but it was something I was having difficulty not thinking about, particularly picturing my mama having sex with all those odd guys. So the following day mom took me to meet Monica and also get the tests I required. Then mom took me purchasing a stylish clothing for the evening. We would certainly satisfy the client at a dining establishment and then ultimately return to his hotel for a night of pure unadulterated sex. The night finally arrived and I was truly anxious, but thanks to my mommy besides me, I was ready to go. We were both putting on eveningwear, mine was red while mom's was black, and also we both used rise bras to give our boobs much more pizzazz, together with a thong. We took a taxi and also came to the restaurant in a timely manner. Mother offered the name of our appointment and we were resulted in a table where the customer was rested waiting. Mama took charge and asked me to sit on his left while she took the right. Mom was so great; she gave the customer all the normal vanity boosting lines, functioning him well. It provided me the chance to loosen up and see her work. Quickly the client provided my leg a capture and counted on talk with me. I was pretty loosened up now, as well as a glass of wine previously in the house as well as one now loosened me up enough to activate the appeal. call girl Crockers, brothels Crockers, prostitutes Crockers, hookers Crockers, sluts Crockers, whores Crockers, gfe Crockers, girlfriend experience Crockers, shagging Crockers, dogging Crockers, fuck buddy Crockers, hookups Crockers, free sex Crockers, sex meet Crockers, nsa sex Crockers | ||56371|| ||28889|| ||79395|| ||31509|| ||57763|

These facts might be interesting and entertaining to all casino players, both casual ones and professional ones. 1. The interior design of casinos is spectacular and fancy, made to impress everyone. Most casinos have a cheap-looking carpet with very ugly color patterns, though. It’s so that people are motivated to start games. Ceilings in many casinos are simple for the same reason. 2. Monaco, thanks to its casinos in Monte Carlo, gets a lot of rich visitors who want to gamble. There are no airports in Monaco though, so you can only get there by car, train or helicopter. To add even more trivia – Monaco residents don’t pay income taxes, but are not allowed to go to casinos. 3. Richard Nixon, one of the presidents on the United States, won $6,000 in poker games during World War II. Right now it would be about $75,000 because of inflation. He used this money in 1946 to finance his bid for seat in the Congress. 4. Some of the studies of Aristotle, the famous scholar and philosopher from the 4th century BC, were about how to cheat in dice games. It was done to analyze the manipulation of probabilities. 5. Bones of animals used to act as dice – people would guess on which side the bone is going to fall. It became a form of gambling and later got improved with placing marks on the bones, which in the end evolved into the plastic dice we use. 6. Blasé Pascal invented the Roulette wheel in the 17th century, while trying to create a machine of perpetual motion.

POTC SPOTLIGHT: METRO WALK THERE! Metro has recently published a neat little guidebook called “Walk There! 50 treks in and around Portland and Vancouver.” We recently had a chance to go on one of their free guided walks, which highlighted the homes and arbor features of the historic Irvington neighborhood. Our walk lasted just over an hour, and was led by local author Laura Foster, who provided the historical details and interesting anecdotes. For our participation, we received a pedometer and other goodies, courtesy of Kaiser Permanente. Free walks are scheduled throughout the week until the end of September and cover all points around the Portland area, from Hillsboro and Wilsonville to close-in SE Portland and Fort Vancouver. Walks cover a variety of topics unique to the area such as bird walks, wildlife identification, family hikes, ecology, history and more. We highly recommend taking one of these guided walks. And if your schedule just doesn’t seem to mesh with their outings, then get the book: either check it out from the library, buy it at a local bookstore, or go to the web site and download each walk or the entire book for free. What we really appreciate about the walks is that every one of them begins and ends near a bus or MAX stop. Our favorite walk? The 4 T’s: trail, tram, trolley, train. To make it THE ultimate excursion, we rode the #15 bus from the NW 23rd streetcar stop to Lower Macleay Park, hiked up to Pittock Mansion, continued on the Wildwood Trail to the Oregon Zoo, and followed the route to Council Crest and on to OHSU. Peruse the web site for the guided walk schedule or pick one out to try on your own. Happy trails!

It has even ranked higher at times in taste trials. Large Indeterminate, potato leaf plant produces lots of 1-lb., slightly flattened, pretty, blemish-free, purple-pink fruits with few tomato seeds and excellent flavor. Some shoulder ribbing. A good choice for slicing into sandwiches, salads or even sauces.

Sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan and his two sons Amaan and Ayaan staged live with musicians from across the world in Washington. The father and two sons performed for the Chant4Change peace concert at Washington’s Lincoln Memorial on Saturday night. The programme aimed at projecting music as a healing, unifying force to the wounded and terror-infested universe. We three -- my two sons and I -- performed while it was drizzling. We dedicated our concert to world peace and harmony. We paid our humble tribute to Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore and Hazrat Amir Khusro who created the qawwali and tarana singing styleAmjad Ali Khan He added that an unique number was played for the historical Chant4Change. “The first item was ‘We shall overcome...’ version ‘Hum honge kamyaab’. Then we rendered ‘Vaishnava jana to’, ‘Ramdhun’, ‘Raghupati raghav rajaram’, ‘Ekla cholo re’ and then we sang a tarana. We ended with Bengali folk music. We hope the whole world soon realizes the value of peace and harmony,’ he said. According to Khan it is our responsibility to give the younger generations a peaceful and harmonious world. “Our family feels very sad when we hear about young soldiers dying in the war, no matter which country, he said. “We feel connected with every soul, every religion and every song of the world." “ India was one before the Partition. That is why even today, it's Indian classical music that unifies the two countres and their people. We could only divide the land, but could not divide the music," he said. Addressing the US citizens, the Sarod magician said that US should not encourage people to openly buy weapons, especially for the younger generation, as it is very dangerous to have non-licensed weapons. Taking a dig at the politicians across the globe, he said the greatest mockery is that every political leader talks of peace and harmony, and at the same time every country is busy producing weapons, guns and missiles. "The future of the world looks aimless and bleak. The world is heading towards destruction... I hope the world soon understand the value of love peace and harmony." He made a plea for artistes to be exempted from political agendas. Art, music and musicians don’t belong to any cult or religion. Like flowers, air, water, colour, fire and fragrance, we of the artistic fraternity also belong to no religion. In our country, every classical musician is worshiped like Goddess Saraswati. If we can’t help each other, for god’s sake, don’t destroy each other. Think seriously about the future of every childAmjad Ali Khan

I’ve been traveling pretty much nonstop since attending the best event on the real estate conference calendar: RETechSouth (or RETSO for short). As always, Brad Nix, Mike Pennington, and Ben Carter (with an amazing team of people) put on a fantastic event. I did a little debate on syndication with Jay Thompson, leveraging my expensive legal education to argue positions I don’t believe in. And then I gave a little ten minute speech on the future of the REALTOR Association: I am grateful to my friend Sue Adler for taping the speech, and to the RETSO team for giving me permission to publish video footage of their conference. The audio isn’t the greatest, but considering that Sue filmed this on her iPhone, I think she did a fantastic job. And technology is pretty damn amazing. What I recommended, essentially, is an echo of this post, entitled, “Ask Not What Your NAR Can Do For You“: Second, having rediscovered your core mission, start purging. As it is today, only about half of the nation’s real estate brokers and agents belong to the Association and can call themselves REALTORS. And that percentage may be less, since NAR dipped below the 1 million mark recently. Smaller and dedicated beats larger and apathetic every time. I’d like to expand on this notion a bit. First, Some Data The impetus for writing further is that thanks to some friends who pointed me to an invaluable resource, I have some data to play with. The data in question is the response rates fo the Call for Actions that NAR sends out to its membership. You can get the reports from 2008 till 2011 here. |State||Avg. Working Email Q1||AVG CFA Participants||Participation Rate 2011||Participation Rate 2010||Participation Rate 2009||Participation Rate 2008||Participation Rate 2007| It’s a fascinating table for a variety of reasons. First of all, NAR reports that in 2011, it had 1,009,940 members. But apparently, in 2011, NAR only had 782,831 working emails. (I left out District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands, but adding those in gets the working emails number to 785,550.) Some 22% of NAR’s own members either do not have email, or failed to provide a working email to the Association in which they are a “proud member”. Second, the overall response rates to the Calls to Action are interesting. In 2007, the average participation rate (where the REALTOR actually does something like sending an email to a Congresscritter, or making a phone call) was a paltry 5.2%. But it appears that the Call to Action program itself was new then. We see a steady year-over-year increase from 2007 to 2009, and then a huge drop in 2010, followed by a surge in 2011. I’m not sure I understand why 2010 was such an anomaly. Maybe it was the issues themselves. In 2009, there were two Calls to Action: one in support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (aka, “The Stimulus” by Obama), and the second one in support of expanding and extending the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit. The participation rate for the Stimulus was 8.3%, while the rate for the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit was 18.2%. Obviously, quite a few REALTORS thought very highly of the $8000 taxpayer subsidy to first time homebuyers in 2009. But in 2010, there were only three Calls to Action, and two of them had to do with National Flood Insurance and Rural Housing Insurance, garnering 8.5% and 5.2% participation rates, respectively. The other Call to Action, entitled “Prevent New Tax Burdens on Real Estate” drew only 7.8% participation rate. Then in 2011, we had four Calls to Action: - Tell Congress to Reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program (9.5%) - Tell Congress: Ensure Your Clients Have Access to Affordable Mortgages (13.5%) - Tell Congress: 20% Down Payments Put the American Dream Out of Reach (10.3%) - Preserve, Protect and Defend the Mortgage Interest Deduction (16.0%) Three big issues were going on in 2011, and more REALTORS responded. Flood insurance, however, wasn’t getting that many people excited, apparently. Third, the percentage of Working Emails vs. NAR Membership was way down in 2011. In 2008, the Working Email count was 84% of NAR Membership. In 2009, it was 92%, and in 2010, it was 93%. In 2011, only 78% of REALTORS were providing working emails to NAR. That’s… interesting. What To Make of This Data? Different people will interpret the data differently. In my view, the data as a whole says a couple of things fairly clearly. First, it seems to me that somewhere between 5% and 10% of REALTORS are the truly hardcore political activists, with the average coming in around 8.5%. I’m basing this on the fact that even the Flood Insurance Calls to Action got about 5% of the people to contact Congress while several “indirect” Calls to Action (e.g., the Extend the Stimulus) got about 8.5%. Second, it also seems that roughly 13-16% of NAR’s members are engaged in political action at all. When a Call to Action to defend the Mortgage Interest Deduction (something that NAR has sworn to “go to the mattresses” to protect) only draws 16% participation, it’s difficult to classify the remaining 84% as people who care much about political matters. (Although, it is possible that there are conservatives and libertarian REALTORS who refused to respond because they believe that the mortgage interest deduction should be eliminated.) Third, NAR members either don’t care or disagree with NAR more today than they did in previous years. I don’t know how else to interpret the huge drop from 93% of members providing working emails in 2010 to only 78% doing the same a year later. That’s over 200,000 NAR Members who have dropped off the Call to Action rolls. What To Do About This Data? The short answer is, “Let them go their way.” It is what I proposed in the speech above, and what I proposed in the prior post. Consider only those who actually respond to a Call to Action to be a true member of the Association. Depending on the state, that number goes from a low of 7.9% in Florida to a high of 36.7% in North Dakota. (To be fair, Washington DC, the epicenter of the American political world, has an even lower participation rate amongst REALTORS at 6.4%.) If a “member” does not provide a working email address, she is no true member. Let her go her own way. And with the remaining 8% or 15% or 30%, immediately call for a meeting of the membership and come to agreement about the issues that the REALTOR Association — local, state, and national — will tackle, and come to at least a majority support of a particular position on those issues. If they are true members, they will find a way to attend, even if it’s over the Internet, and agree to the core mission. Having defined the core mission, and having restrengthened the commitment of the true membership, figure out a financial plan to keep the organization going in service of that mission… while cutting loose an unthinkably large part of the dues-paying membership. It will mean both austerity in spending and additional dues for the true membership, and it will take some time. But the renewed and re-energized membership will know that the funds go to support the core missions that they themselves have agreed are important, rather than financing a large bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucrats or lavish perks for various peers of the REALTOR realm. Why Even Think About Such a Drastic Step? Apart from the ideal of ensuring that only those who truly believe in the REALTOR mission should be part of the Association, and apart from the obvious fiscal discipline such a focused Association would impose on itself, there is a practical element as well. American politics has become poisonous over the past decade. 2012 promises to be the most divided, most partisan, most bitterly contested election in a generation. NAR will be forced to support one candidate over another, based solely on its analysis of where that candidate stands on issues important to NAR and its members. Perhaps Romney’s recent ruminations about eliminating the mortgage interest deduction for second homes might tip NAR into supporting Obama in the Presidential race. Or maybe NAR decides that Obama’s call for higher taxes would suppress demand for housing, and will tip towards Romney. And that’s just for the Presidency. Numerous state, local, and Federal positions will be contested in vitriolic terms this year. REALTORS are human beings, and most of them will end up making a choice on candidates based on something other than real estate policies. I simply cannot imagine that a diehard Code Pink Progressive in San Francisco would find it amusing that his Association is spending his dues dollars running ads for Romney. Vice versa, I can’t imagine a hardcore gun-totin’ Tea Party activist in Alabama being cool with NAR supporting “Nobama” if that’s what happens. And this divisiveness in our politics will not end in 2012. There are just too many differences of opinion, too much conflict over visions of what America is and should be, and even too much cultural difference between the various sides that I cannot imagine 2014 being some sort of a return to harmonious civil discourse amongst gentlemen. Nor do I think 2016 will usher in the politics of kum-ba-yah. The 15% or so that are your true members of NAR will be activist enough to stick with the Association through thick and thin. Even should such a member prefer a different candidate than the one chosen by the Association, she is more likely to understand why the Association chose to back one guy over another: because of real estate policies. That is a united front. It is an Association that harkens back to the original mission of NAR: “effectively exerting a combined influence upon matters affecting real estate interests.” Even if that Association were to be 20% of today’s numbers, it would be one to be feared and respected — even more so because of the focus and the commitment of its members. Next Up: Using Facebook to Explain Why Leaner and Meaner is Better I know that conversations are happening throughout the country about the future of the Association, about the future of NAR, about the future of organized real estate. I lay out my case once again for urging a smaller, more focused, more activist organization. In a future post, I hope to lay out the mechanics of the counterintuitive: getting more powerful and more valuable, by getting smaller. Facebook will be mentioned, yes.

While DogTrekker regularly updates off-leash rules, it is important to check to be sure that this area still allows voice control prior to removing your dog’s leash. All of Pacifica’s beaches are dog-friendly, but Esplanade Beach, reached via a long set of switchback trial and stairs at the north end of Esplanade Drive near the Land’s End Apartments, is the only one officially leash-free. (It’s also one of the few off-leash beaches in all of San Mateo County!) Rugged cliffs and soft sand combine to make this smallish hideaway it a very special place, especially at sunset. Check tide tables before going here; at high tide the beach becomes very narrow. In stormy weather it could be dangerous. Please bring water for the two of you and pick-up bags for your pet.

The (arguably) most disliked Bachelor isn't going away anytime soon, and he just made an April Fools' joke that did not make him any more popular with the Internet. On Sunday (April Fools'), Arie Luyendyk Jr. posted a photo of fiancée Lauren Burnham wearing what appears to be a baby bump. "Secrets finally out, we have a bunny in the oven! @laurenburnham91," he wrote. An hour later, he followed up with the least unexpected reveal of all-time, replying "APRIL FOOLS!" to his own tweet. If the replies to Arie's joke are any indication, the backlash is almost as bad as the morning after The Bachelor finale, when people sent Becca Kufrin wine money on Venmo accompanied by some brutal digs at Arie. Many Twitter users are now finding his April Fools' prank distasteful, calling it a cruel and insensitive joke at the expense of people who have experienced miscarriages or infertility. "So distasteful. You thought the world was against you before. You just poured gas on that fire. Hopefully you two don’t have to struggle with this [issue] so many women face each day," wrote one user, who attached a photo saying, "[One] in [eight] of your friends struggle to get pregnant. [One] in [four] of your friends has lost a baby. Pregnancy is not an April [Fools'] joke." "That is THE worst thing to joke about when so many people are unable to conceive or have miscarried," another user added. "And I thankfully am not one of those people...as I have an [eight-week-old] baby. But I know so many who have struggled with it. There are so many other things you could have done for an April [Fools'] joke." After facing all the outrage, however, Arie did not appear to back down. He later took to his Instagram story with a picture of a recipe, according to People. “Sorry if you were offended, but we really are making a Dutch Baby," he wrote. The joke is doubly questionable because, according to People, the couple has already started talking about family planning. “We’re both very excited about marriage and starting a family,” Lauren Burnham previously told the outlet, while Arie added that he wants two to four kids. “If we get lucky, maybe we’d have twins!” he said.

Rise in sham marriages to beat UK immigration laws The number of suspected sham marriages by illegal immigrants has leapt by more than half in the past year. Home Office figures for 2009 show a 54% jump, with 529 suspected cases reported by registrars in England and Wales. The leap comes after the Law Lords overturned a government scheme designed to stop illegal immigrants marrying. Registrars have told the BBC that marriage rackets are using Eastern European brides to provide other migrants with a toehold in the UK. The scale of the problem has been highlighted in a special BBC investigation in which a reporter posed as an illegal immigrant - and quickly found people offering to help him marry. In 2005, the government told foreigners they needed the home secretary's permission to get married in the UK. If someone did not have a legal right to be in the country, they were denied a certificate of approval. Registrars had lobbied for the change saying they had been powerless to stop a massive rise in bogus marriages, with more than 3,500 suspected cases in one year alone. Within months of the introduction of the home secretary's veto, the number of cases dropped dramatically. But the Law Lords later said the approval scheme breached human rights because it unfairly affected almost every foreign national, without trying to work out whether a couple were conning the system or not. The latest Home Office figures show that in 2008, the last year the scheme was in force, registrars reported 344 marriages to the home secretary for further investigation. Mark Rimmer confronts a groom he suspects In the 11 months to the end of November last year, the number of suspected cases went up by more than half to 529. Registrars have told the BBC that sham marriage rackets have returned and many are using Eastern European spouses who have a legal right to be in the UK. This makes it easier for the migrant from another part of the world to settle. Mark Rimmer, the superintendent registrar for the London Borough of Brent, said: "The government legislated to address the issue and were very successful. "If nothing is done, I think we will go back to where we were. We had people queuing up in our waiting area - all of them were just bogus marriage after bogus marriage." Mr Rimmer said registrars were seeing cases where the couple could not speak each other's language and their body language made it obvious that they barely knew each other. "Pakistani and Portuguese is one that has seemed to crop up recently. If you see one [couple] that's OK. But when you see three in a week, you start to think that something strange is going on." Immigration minister Phil Woolas said the government regretted the Law Lords' ruling and was looking again at the law. But he added: "Just because someone is married does not mean at all that their immigration status is granted. "The registrars have a system of reporting where they think a marriage is not genuine. Those reports are then used by the immigration officials. The issue of marriage is different to immigration status. A visa will not be issued if there is reason to think the marriage is not genuine." The government is considering whether to introduce new methods of controlling marriages involving foreign nationals, including the introduction of biometric checks.

I have a multi-project .NET application which I am developing in Visual Studio 2008. If I try to open the project properties for one of my projects (to change settings or publish) Visual Studio immediately closes. There is no prompt to send a report to Microsoft, and two consecutive errors logged in the Event Viewer: - .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A035E00) (80131506) - .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A2E0F92) (0) If I delete all the .suo files in my solution, I can once again publish and access project properties. The error, however, returns over time. This seems to suggest that the .user files are getting corrupted by Visual Studio. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix the problem?

This is a postcard image of an image. If "F Duncan" is Frank Duncan, he did quite a bit of that. According to the Auckland Library's photographer database, "Frank Duncan first came into contact with postcards as a commercial traveller for Tanner Bros. Around 1915 he moved to Auckland and established the firm Frank Duncan and Co, which produced huge numbers of postcards using images supplied by photographers F G Radcliffe and T M Hardy, amongst others. The company went into receivership in 1931." The white lettering is overwritten, the fin is a hasty sketch onto the image, and although the story of Pelorus Jack appears to have started in 1888, going on for 24 years until around 1912, the card talks of the "fish" being around for 30 years. So, the provenance is dubious. "Does he come always?" "Without fail, night and day (at night he is like a streak of phosphorus); he meets every steamer, though this is his favourite. He has done so for many years. Lord Onslow, when Governor hero, had him gazetted, and he is now safe from human enemies; at least, I hope so. We are all quite fond of him." He lifts his cap, and moves away, and we stand and wait eagerly. Presently, about a hundred yards away, a darker streak comes on the violet sea. "How does he first appear?" asked a lady, breathlessly pointing at it. But no one answers her. Then the streak moved; a great, glistening, brown fin broke the water. "There he is," shouted a dozen excited voices, as Pelorus Jack swam alongside. He made straight for the hull; shouldered it in a friendly way and then went merrily along with us. We watched with delight his white shapely body, clouded by the deep water to a pale-green color. Sometimes, with a flick of his tail, he shot across the bows but, preferring the sunny port side, he always returned, every now and then rising to blow, shooting again into the water with arched back, through a rainbow edged dazzle of foam, and delighted shouts of appreciative laughter from the gallery. At other times he would swim on his side, his cunning little eye cocked up at the ship's company, as who should say "Take a long look, you won't often see a whale like me. I'm little (only about ten feet in length), but I know a lot." He was indescribably comic as he swam there, his brown dorsal fin stuck out like a short coat-tail, his excellent stomach curving as a city magnate's waistcoat curves. Suddenly, after about half-an hour of his interesting company, this friendly fish turned, with arrowy speed, disappearing into the foam which curled from the bows. "He's gone!" we sadly exclaimed in chorus. We saw his glistening fin break the water far behind us, and the crowd dispersed, but a few minutes later the pale green shape swam swiftly along our starboard side, as if loath to say farewell; then turning again, he finally left us. Helen M Spencer, from the Australasian, via Marlborough Express, 1 February 1902 New Zealand Illustrated Magazine, 1 December 1902 From the 1966 Encylopedia of New Zealand: "Pelorus Jack, whose sex was never determined, was identified from photographs, probably correctly, as a Risso's dolphin (Grampus griseus), a species not common in New Zealand waters. It was his habit to meet the steamers near Cape Francis and travel with them (playing about the bow and in some accounts rubbing against the plates) as far as Collinet Point near French Pass; or likewise in the opposite direction. In spite of his name he did not frequent nearby Pelorus Sound, and local residents familiar with his habits assert that he never went through French Pass." Dolphin Pelorus Jack, between 1904-1912 Reference Number: 1/2-026542-G The dolphin Pelorus Jack, photographed by Frederick Nelson Jones between 1904-1912. Alexander Turnbull Library. Pelorus Jack was one of New Zealand's super stars. Even though he/she (gender was never determined) was protected, there were no further sights beyond the end of 1912. The name, however, has lived on in our folklore.

Victoria is a freelance editor, photographer and writer. Check out her work here: https://vbardega.com/ As I skim through news headlines and observe the current cultural tensions, I realize empathy has become a foreign characteristic to our social norms. Vulnerability is being avoided rather than embraced; while people are being chained to stereotypes. In a world of 7.125 billion people, we still feel forgotten, misunderstood or overlooked. One of my favorite literary critics, CS Lewis, said it best: “We read to know we are not alone.” I love this because it highlights a universal problem--people feel alone...all the time. However, the art of storytelling has the power to unify people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. We all have a journey to share; some carry miracles while others carry adversity. In listening to one another, we invite empathy to impact the way we establish connection. Empathy is a shaping tool within community that breaks barriers, stirs up compassion and signifies a sense of mutual understanding with one another. In addition to empathy, pain is an uncomfortable emotion to unpack; but it requires to be felt. What should we do when we’re faced with the demand to embrace our feelings as creatives? Let it out. Cry. Laugh. Craft something tangible for your soul to release the story into. Creativity stems out of a place of freedom. It’s so easy to throw our feelings into a box and shove them away into the attic of our minds. But once we bring our walls down and let people in, we are able to impact more and produce more good for the community. There is power in identifying with one another. By sharing the remnants of our past or current struggles, others, who may be experiencing a similar journey, are encouraged and empowered to move forward. It needs to take place in order for community-building and innovation to coexist. If you simply say yes to empathy and to pain, there is an audience waiting to hear the words that only you can speak.

Hey guys! This week we’re covering two weeks at a time, and believe me when I say oh god, oh god, do not mainline more than one episode of Impact at a time right after doing a refresher of a PPV. Lucky for you I did, but only because I love you (and feel bad for letting real life work and stuff make me miss last week) (but mostly the love part, promise). – I’ll be at both Ring of Honor/NJPW shows (Toronto and New York), so if you’re attending either tonight or next weekend’s events as well, find me and say hello! Brandon will be there next week (also at Beyond Wrestling the next day). Hellos and high-fives for all! – Like, tumbl, tweet, email, share, photocopy, recreate this report in an interpretive oil painting, whatever you need to do to spread it around. You know, like peanut butter. Or West Nile. This (and last) week on Impact Wrestling: I do not give out a lot of Bests. I’m sorry. We’ll get through this together. Promise.

Sunday School is availabe during the school year (Sept - June) for ages 4 - 11. We gather upstairs in our Sunday School room during the church service.

Children participate in Mission Work, such as Project Smile, Christmas Shoeboxes (Samiritan's Purse), the Heifer Fund, and collecting donations for local groups, such as the Boston Animal Shelter (Brewster), Lower Cape Outreach, and Baby Center of Hyannis.

Those STONE thinggies. I'm liking way too much of them now, especially with the Kotobukiya X-Force Wolverine and the Bowen X-Force Wolverine on my want list. And now something else was added to it..This was the first thing I saw in my e-mail the moment I woke up. I might stop toy collecting since I can't collect comics, action figures, and the occational statue/bust since that "occasional" might get more and more frequent. I sure as hell won't give up comics. Here's my initial thoughts on the statue: - It's better compared to the X-23 that was part of the SS X-Force Diorama. The pose is very similar but the Sideshow one overdid the strut and the thiness. - Hair and face should be improved (Which will be) - She actually has a teenagers body here, people usually forget that and make her look as busty as possible. - I know it's trying to stay accurate to the reference art but I'm hoping it'll be both hands closed with claws out or at least both have claws out. - I'm hoping they'll use a base similar to the other X-Men or maybe an X-base. - Randy Bowen said an X-Force piece will also come out, I'll probably get that but I'm having second thoughts since it looks like this costume is good too. This is the one worn by the Eaglemoss X-23. I'm hoping I'll be able to find the money for this, good thing it's probably still a year before this one comes out. I can save up for it little by little instead of suddenly releasing a boatload of money.

Destructoid.com is one of the most popular gaming sites on the web, and as a result in 2010 they launched a weekday live channel. I couldn’t really tell you much about them other than that. Same goes for their lovely co-host Tara Long. I will be honest with you, I didn’t actually find the time to fit in every single post that I had mulled for the month of October (I’m looking at you 2012 Halloween Film Fest), but since I specifically loaded last month with luscious brunettes, I always had this young lady waiting in the wings to kick off November, and really, isn’t it past time that we featured a few stunning redheads here in the Catacombs? Oh well, sexy gamer girl aficionados will certainly join me in appreciating her obvious charms.

If you are visiting Ahmedabad any time, make sure to work out with an itinerary that includes Modhera, just to witness the magnificent art work of stone – The Modhera Sun Temple. Modhera Sun Temple is one of the most ancient and sublime heritage. I have been living and grown up in Gujarat, but could never make it to visit this temple until last year in July 2015, when I was able to pay a visit with my Family. It is a hindu temple dedicated to the Sun God, “Surya” on the banks of the river Pushpawati . We took the expertise of a guide who explained us about the history and details of the temple architecture. I recommend the visitors to take one, as it is important to get to know the history along with exploring the temple. They will hardly charge you 200/- rs or less. It was build in 1026 AD by king Bhimdev of Solanki dynasty. Prayers are not offered here as the statue of the Sun god no longer exists, and the the temple is under the supervision of Archaeological survey of India. - Ramkund :Once you enter the main complex, you will come across the magnificent kund known as the Ramakund, built in rectangular shape containing 108 shrines to various gods and demi-gods. There are three main shrines positioned on the three sides of the Kund, dedicated to Lord Ganesha and Lord Vishnu and an image of Lord Shiva doing the ‘tandav” dance facing the temple of the sun which covers the fourth side. - Sabha Mandap : This Mandap (Hall) of religious gatherings is a grand looking pillared hall and open from all sides. It has 52 complexly carved pillars representing 52 weeks in a year. The carvings depict episodes from the Hindu epics of Ramayan, Mahabharat and Krishna Lila (i.e., story of Lord Krishna). There is a beautiful hall with pillars and arches between the Sabha Mandap and the Sanctum sanctorum. The walls have 12 slots showing the different aspects of the Sun God in each month. - Main temple – Sanctum sanctorum – The temple is based on an inverted lotus-base plinth. How to reach: Modhera is a village in the Mehsana district of Gujarat and very well known for the Sun temple. It is well connected to the various cities of Gujarat and the nearest railway station is Mehsana. Mehsana – 26 kms, Ahmedabad-101 kms, Vadodara – 208 kms Best time to visit – Any time. Though, summer is not very good time in Ahmedabad. If you are here in those months, i e March-June, try visiting early morning. Every year after Uttarayan (Kite Festival) in January , a 3-day annual dance festival is organized by the the Gujarat Tourism with an objective to present classical dance forms in an atmosphere similar to that in which they were originally presented.

A handmade rosary made for someone special. His birthday is coming up. But I ain't naming names. I will have to suz it out first to see if he likes this. A birthday gift for someone Special. Hematite ideal for prayer, meditation, healing. He had previously expressed a liking for Hematite gemstone rosaries. And a wise choice as it turned out to be. Hematite is a gemstone that is ideal for prayer, forgiveness, meditation, and healing. I have used round polished hematite beads (6mm) - they feel marvelous! Note to self: get more of those 6mm Hematite beads! Moonstone beads - 6mm, round All wires & jumprings: anti-nickle & anti-lead brass (silver plated) Lately I have been trying to experiment with making my own customized rosary crosses. This handmade cross is a chain maille cross. (see How to make the chainmail cross) It turned out to be quite an amazing cross really. It retains it shape but is also very flexible. Definitely ideal for a kinesthetic person - or a fiddler! The matching rosary center was also made using some adaptations to chain maille techniques. (This one was adapted from the Japanese Flower chainmaille. Adaptation: not joining to form a closed round so that it can form a triangle shape instead) And I used a washer for the center. I like it! I have made the link loops between the hematite beads as simple (open) loops. This ensures that there is minimal kink in the chain during use. However the link loops on each side of the Moonstone bead are closed, double-coiled loops. This is to add some security to the piece. The intervening ring between the Moonstone and the Hematite are closed jump rings. Added both for the look as well as for another layer of security.
