Canadian Dick Pound, the longest-serving member of the International Olympic Committee, is arguing that Canadian athletes should get the COVID-19 vaccine before this summer’s rescheduled Olympic games—even if that leads to the perception they are “jumping the queue.”
Pound made his comments to Sky News, saying “In Canada where we might have 300 or 400 hundred athletes – to take 300 or 400 vaccines out of several million in order to have Canada represented at an international event of this stature, character and level – I don’t think there would be any kind of a public outcry about that”
The prominent IOC member added that the vaccine approach could differ from country to country:
“It’s a decision for each country to make,” Pound told Sky News on Wednesday. “And there will be people saying they are jumping the queue, but I think that is the most realistic way of it going ahead.”
Canadian Olympic Committee not counting on vaccine
While Pound sees vaccinating athletes as a key aspect of Canada’s approach to the Games, Canadian Olympic Committee CEO and secretary general David Shoemaker told the CBC that the COC isn’t counting on the vaccine. Either way, Shoemaker says, Canadian athletes will be ready to safely compete in Tokyo this summer:
“Developments regarding a vaccine are being closely monitored, as are the statements from the IOC and the Organizing Committee, but they do not change our current preparation for Tokyo 2020 because we cannot assume that vaccines will be widely available, how they will be distributed or when they will be available for Canadian athletes,” Shoemaker stated.
“We will continue to safeguard the health and safety of our athletes, their families, and their communities on the road to Tokyo, and our actions will be guided by our Chief Medical Officer and Canadian public health officials, as we wait for the IOC, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee and the Japanese government to further communicate COVID-19 countermeasures and related requirements.”
Japan committed despite concerns
Pound’s comments come in the same week as Tokyo is facing surging COVID-19 case numbers and the possibility of a renewed state of emergency.
Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s Prime Minister, has publicly restated his support for the Games going ahead as planned. He has said that a successful Games would be “proof that people have overcome the coronavirus.”
While we all wish that to be true, with the Olympics less than 200 days away now the timeline is getting tight.
Should the Games go ahead successfully, the IOC and Tokyo organizers will have to safely bring 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes to Japan. Fans, coaches, support staff and media would all be added on top of this figure if they are allowed to attend.
British Olympic Association takes more tempered approach
Andy Anson, BOA’s chief executive, is taking a more measured approach to the question of athlete vaccinations. He also told Sky he hopes athletes can get vaccinated before the Games, but emphasized that the U.K. has more pressing concerns.
“[Athletes] won’t get priority access now because I think everyone – athletes included – would agree that the priority is the people who need it most; the frontline workers, the elderly, those with health issues and that’s the first wave of vaccination.” Anson said. “But we’ll do that when it’s appropriate and when the government feels it’s appropriate. We will be having conversations with government, but more about when the time is right.”
Despite his caution, Anson is still positive the Tokyo Olympics will still happen as scheduled.
“I’m telling athletes ‘it’s going ahead’,” Anson said in his conversation with Sky. “‘You should train as hard as you possibly can and be in the best possible shape to go out there and be part of this amazing celebration’.”
“Every message is it’s going to happen,” Anson added, “but we’ve got to get through these tough times first.”

Trace Adkins, the 52 year old beloved Country music singer and icon has always been candid about battling with alcohol in the past. Trace had been sober for 12 years, but during his headliner journey on the Country Cruising entertainment cruise, he apparently let his guard down on Wednesday, January 15, 2014.
Adkins was in the ship’s bar during the trip to Jamaica when something happened that touched off a fight between him and a Trace Adkins impersonator who was singing karaoke. The site reports that a drunken physical altercation followed, and that Adkins departed for rehab after the ship docked in Jamaica.
Adkins was the top-billed act on the the Norwegian Cruise Line country-music seven-night cruise, "Best Country Cruise Ever" with Trace Adkins,, which also features Montgomery Gentry, Wynonna Judd, Craig Morgan and The Norwegian Cruise Line country-music seven-night cruise "Best Country Cruise Ever" with Trace Adkins, Montgomery Gentry, Wynonna, Neal McCoy, Lonestar and more than a dozen other artists, began in Miami on the Norwegian Pearl and call at Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico.
The lineup also included Love and Theft, Craig Morgan, Steel Magnolia, Brett Eldredge, Maggie Rose, Chris Cavanaugh, McKenna Faith, Bryan Edwards and more.. The cruise began in Miami on the Norwegian Pearl and call at Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico on Jan. 12 and was slated to run until Jan. 19, but Adkins has decided to depart the run early. He is now in an alcohol rehab treatment center.
Sadly, Trace’s performances on the ship have since been canceled. The charity-minded singer is a vocal supporter of the American Red Cross, and recently completed a holiday tour in support of his latest album, the Celtic-flavored The King’s Gift.
The towering baritone country singer, famous for such No. 1 hits as “You’re Gonna Miss This” and “Ladies Love Country Boys,” is a Grand Ole Opry member, actor in films like 2011’s The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey, and winner of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice was taking part in the Country Cruising cruise when he slipped off the wagon. Prior to the setback, Trace, who has always been candid about his battle, was 12 years sober.
In fact, in March, 2003, after a 28 day stay in rehab around Christmas of 2002, Trace recorded and released a song, written by Jim Collins and Sunny Russ, called "Then They Do" to inspire alcoholic fathers to get help and spend more time sober with their kids. It was the first and only single from his album Greatest Hits Collection, Vol. 1 Trace, a father-of-four, blames his 25-year battle with alcoholism for two failed marriages, jail time for drink driving, countless car accidents and a fight with his ex that almost cost him his life.
Trace said in widely published interviews, "The elevator to hell stops on every floor, and I just took a good look at myself and said, 'Look what you've come to - you have to be institutionalized." The country superstar admits one alcohol-related accident led to him being trapped upside down in his pick-up truck. He once grew so intolerable, his ex shot him.
He recalled, "The bullet went through both my lungs and straight through the middle of my heart. I believe it was an accident and I've always just left it at that. Either that, or it was a pretty good shot." He claims his third wife's insistence that he seek help was the best things she could do - because now he recognized his problems and doesn't reach for the bottle.
He adds, "Things that happened in my daily life that would have made me go, 'F**k that, I'll go and get drunk,' now make me smile." That was in April of 2003.
And, those of us who grew up in alcoholic families or are alcoholics, those words are so deeply heartfelt and determined at that time. However, understanding alcoholism, we know that certain situations, stress, surroundings, groups who are drinking around you can easily push that button in an instant. The American Medical Association supports a dual classification of alcoholism to include both physical and mental components. The biological mechanisms that cause alcoholism are not well understood. Social environment, stress, mental health, family history, age, ethnic group, and gender all influence the risk for the condition.
Alcoholism is a broad term for problems with alcohol, and is generally used to mean compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of alcoholic beverages, usually to the detriment of the drinker's health, personal relationships, and social standing. It is medically considered a disease, specifically an addictive illness. In psychiatry several other terms are used, specifically "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence," which have slightly different definitions.
A complex mixture of genetic and environmental factors influences the risk of the development of alcoholism. Genes that influence the metabolism of alcohol also influence the risk of alcoholism, and may be indicated by a family history of alcoholism. One paper has found that alcohol use at an early age may influence the expression of genes which increase the risk of alcohol dependence.
The World Health Organization estimates that there are 140 million people with alcoholism worldwide.
A spokesperson for Trace confirmed the Louisiana native’s exit from the cruise and provided this statement: “Trace has entered a treatment facility after a setback in his battle with alcoholism. As he faces these issues head-on, we ask that his family’s privacy will be respected.”
Our prayers go out to our much loved Country Music icon, philanthropist, father, Trace Adkins and his family who will not be pushed down. Because, loved ones and we, his fans, will support him for all the priceless gifts of song he gives us and will always will. And we will always be proud of his ability to bounce back and hopefully, spread more awareness of alcoholism as well as his music. God Bless you, Trace.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
This is a very apt saying in the context of life. Reading is one of the best constructive habits one can inculcate in his life. One can find a lot about the world around him and more about himself by reading more and more.
Reading induces a perennial thirst for knowledge, which is the best thing one can have. It is true that ‘the more you know, the more you grow’, and reading helps you in doing just that.
Beneficial in all walks of life
Not only from the perspective of learning new things, reading can be a great tool to sculpt one’s personality. Reading develops a unique way of thinking for each individual, so it is equally important to read the right material as it is to read more.
By reading books which bring about a positive outlook, the positivity ultimately reflects in one’s lifestyle and personality. This is beneficial in all walks of life, irrespective of a person’s age or profession.
The most obvious advantage that everyone gets from an active reading habit is the command over language. If your command over English is not that good, reading appropriate books will slowly but steadily build your confidence, improve your grammar and sharpen your skills. Add a little bit of spoken English practice, and you’ll become an English language master in no time.
Important tool in UPSC preparation
If you are an UPSC aspirant or a planning to prepare for Civil Services exams, you know that the syllabus for Civil Services exam is very vast. So clearly, reading habit can go a long way to help you in your desire to become a Government servant. Reading habit results in fast reading and retention, so you can finish more in the same time and retain all of it.
Not only the syllabus, choosing the right books to read can help you gain more and more knowledge of the relevant topics and issues, which can help you a great deal in your Personal Interview. As it is a face to face, verbal round, you can impress the Interviewer with your content, choice of words and fluency.
Tips to develop a reading habit
- Start slow. You can start by reading magazines and newspapers. Don’t get demoralised if your pace is slow, as long as you are covering everything thoroughly.
- Increase the quality gradually. Move over to fiction or whatever genre you feel interested in. Try to observe word patterns and usage of figures of speech.
- Carry your book with you and read as much as you can whenever you get time to read.
- Don’t stress on finishing the book and reading hastily. Everyone has his own speed of reading – maintain yours.
- Reading before bed is a very good habit, and ensures that you have both – the time to read and also staying away from your electronic gadgets. It also helps in sleeping well.
Reading made Einstein formulate the Theory of Relativity, it made Elon Musk build a rocket, and it is constantly sparking new ideas in the minds of people all around the world. You never know when your idea can change the lives of so many people. And from a UPSC aspirant’s point of view, it is all about making the lives of people better.

On Tuesday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson cleared his first major hurdle as the chamber’s new leader: passing a temporary spending bill to avert a shutdown and keep the government funded through the beginning of next year.
The so-called laddered continuing resolution — which passed the House with bipartisan support Tuesday and is likely to pass the Senate later this week — delivered Johnson a much-needed legislative win, averting a politically costly shutdown and buying Republicans a few more months to hammer out full-year spending bills. Under the “laddered” plan, roughly half the government is funded through Jan. 19 and the other half is funded through Feb. 2.
But according to Matt Glassman, a senior fellow at Georgetown University’s Government Affairs Institute and a former analyst at the Congressional Research Service, that news wasn’t unequivocally good for Johnson. As Glassman told me, a closer look at the procedure that Johnson relied on to pass the continuing resolution (CR) — which relied to a significant extent on Democratic support — reveals that the new speaker’s control of the Republican conference is more fragile that it may seem.
“At the procedural level, what we’re learning is that the settlement to get Johnson in the speakership — which did get all 221 Republican votes in the House — was not a settlement of the [House GOP’s] procedural coalition,” said Glassman, who studies legislative process and politics. “That’s a big distinction.”
The tenuousness of Johnson’s control over his conference is evident not only in what the latest package does and doesn’t contain — for instance, no conservative priorities like spending cuts or policy riders — but also in how it was passed. Under normal circumstances, Glassman explained, the majority party would pass a legislative “rule” before putting a spending bill up for a vote on the floor — a move that would have leaned on his fellow members of the Republican caucus.
Instead, Johnson failed to win over enough of his more hardline conservative colleagues to pass a rule, and he was forced to move the bill “under suspension,” a maneuver that required the package to win the support of a significant number of Democrats. In the end, Glassman said, Johnson found himself making the same trade-off that got his predecessor, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, booted from the job: swapping conservative votes for Democratic support to keep the government open.
Unlike McCarthy’s, Glassman said, Johnson’s gamble will almost certainly pay off for the time being, thanks to some combination of Republican goodwill and bipartisan fatigue. But the episode spells trouble for Johnson down the road.
“If you don’t have a procedural majority — meaning a working majority in the House, day in and day out — you don’t really have control over the agenda,” said Glassman. “That really is a weakened leadership in some broader sense.”
The following has been edited for clarity and concision.
Ian Ward: Is this continuing resolution a real victory for Johnson? Or in the long run, does it hurt him more than it helps him?
Matt Glassman: I think it’s a victory for Johnson in the sense that he did the same thing that McCarthy was trying to do on Sept. 30, except he’s not gonna lose his job. So at that minimum level of what you’re trying to achieve as a speaker — which is pass appropriations bills and not get axed by a resolution to vacate the chair — then yes, I think it’s a victory. He has somehow calmed down the right wing of the conference such that they’re willing to kick and scream — and maybe not vote for things — but they aren’t so mad at him that they’re going to try and yank him out of the speakership.
Is it a victory for the Republican budget appropriations ideology? I don’t think so. This is an ongoing problem of the last 15 years, but when you need Democratic votes, you’ve got to move the bill to the left — and that’s what you’re seeing here. You don’t see any spending cuts, you don’t see any policy riders, you just see a clean CR — which means a clean CR at fiscal year 2023 levels, and the 2023 levels were written by Democratic majorities. Obviously, the Republicans have input in the Senate, and they’re not left-wing bills, but they aren’t the bills that House Republicans would write if they could get their act together in any sort of any sort of collective way and come up with 217 Republican votes.
Ward: What have we learned from this episode about Johnson’s power over the Republican conference? Is he proceeding with a strong hand?
Glassman: I don’t think so. Essentially, I think this is sort of a honeymoon/exhaustion/“We’ll look ridiculous if we make moves against him right now” situation. Johnson is trying to get something across, and he’s been given the room to do that by people who dissent from it.
At the procedural level, what we’re learning is that the settlement to get Johnson in the speakership — which did get all 221 Republican votes in the House — was not a settlement of the [House GOP’s] procedural coalition. That’s a big distinction. Getting the votes for the speakership is a one-time thing, and obviously, Johnson got them, and that was good enough to get him the speakership. But if you don’t have a procedural majority — meaning a working majority in the House, day in and day out — you don’t really have control over the agenda. Given that there’s a sizable number of Freedom Caucus members who are still refusing to adopt the rules that the leadership wants to put on the floor, that really is a weakened leadership in some broader sense. If the leadership doesn’t have the deference from their conference to set the agenda, they don’t really have control of the House.
Ward: Is there a path for Johnson to win that procedural majority? Or is he facing the same headwinds that McCarthy did?
Glassman: I think he’s facing roughly the same headwinds as McCarthy. To Johnson’s credit, he has been able to put a bill on the floor that allows House Republicans to have control. It looks like the Senate is going to accept this bill, and I think that’s a win for him, relative to not being able to do anything and then just having to eat whatever the Senate sends over. Getting jammed by the Senate probably would have been the worst outcome for him.
Could a more capable and more powerful speaker navigate this conference? Could John Boehner or Nancy Pelosi do it? Maybe — but I’m not sure. This must be a situation where there’s just too narrow a majority and the factions are too divided, and the speaker just isn’t going to get them to agree on something. When you have a majority that only allows you to lose three votes, you’re really up a creek.
Ward: What sort of advantages does Johnson enjoy over McCarthy? Why isn’t he meeting the same fate as McCarthy?
Glassman: I think there’s quite a bit of difference between Johnson and McCarthy. The far right sees Johnson as one of them in the way he talks about politics and the way he thinks about politics. So anytime he makes a compromise — even if it’s the same compromise that McCarthy made — they’re not concerned about where he’s coming from.
The second thing is that Johnson doesn’t have any personal animosities in the way McCarthy did. The McCarthy-Gaetz situation had really become a poisonous thing and, absent that, I’m not sure the resolution to vacate would have been brought. And right now, Johnson doesn’t have those personal animosities. The far right likes him, and so they can see this as “He’s gotta do what he’s gotta do.”
Ward: What did you think of his decision to use the laddered CR in the first place? Was that a savvy move?
Glassman: It was savvy in one sense, in that this was an idea that came from the right. But for the life of me, I’m not seeing how the laddered CR changes a lot about the politics — in fact, it may complicate them. But because it’s an idea from the right, it at least came with some buy-in from conservatives, and it seems to have at least reassured conservatives that Johnson’s doing something they want.
Ward: How does a laddered CR complicate the politics?
Glassman: It sets up some interesting politics, [because] there’s a lot of ways you can set the ladder. When it was originally proposed, I was picturing 12 different rungs, and all the bills would expire at different times. But the ordering of the bills makes a difference. You can imagine some politics right now, where the people who really care about the bills that are coming up first aren’t going to want the government shutdown on Jan. 19 [the date when the first spending bills expire], while the people who mostly care about defense spending [in the second set of bills] might be a little less concerned about the government shutting down — so that probably tilts the negotiations in their direction at some marginal level.
Ward: Do you think we’ll see more laddered CRs like this one used in the future?
Glassman: I think that the test of whether people are going to pick up this laddered idea — and I don’t think they will — is whether it creates a politics at the end of January and beginning of February that some people see as having been advantageous to them. The way to think about it is: What’s the consequence of it? If the first bill doesn’t pass and you get a shutdown, then what you end up with is a partial shutdown situation, and we’ve had those plenty of times. So the question is whether there are people who are OK with a partial shutdown relative to a full shutdown — and think the answer is obviously yes.
Ward: The consequence of the Freedom Caucus’ ongoing opposition to any compromise on these spending packages seems to be more Republican cooperation with Democrats, and ultimately more Democratic priorities in the spending packages that do pass. Do you think conservatives have a long game here? What’s their rationale for staying the course that they’re on now?
Glassman: I think the key to understanding this is that the Freedom Caucus is in some sense concerned with policy — but they’re also concerned with other things. They have other goals, and one of their goals is to separate themselves from Republican leadership and to show themselves to be the “true conservatives.”
One way to do that is to stake out a position that’s more conservative than leadership’s, and then not to compromise on that. The result is either that the leadership team does what they want — which would then achieve the policy, but that’s generally impossible — or instead, leadership can work with the Democrats, at which point they betray the Freedom Caucus, who can then say, “See, you’re just fake conservatives.”
If you define that as a win — being able to play up this betrayal narrative — then you’re always going to win: You’re either going to get your policy, or you’re going to get your betrayal narrative. I think for a lot of the Freedom Caucus, they’re just as happy with either one.
Ward: What do you think Johnson needs to do between now and January to ensure that he’s not facing the exact same situation in a couple of months?
Glassman: I think his core goal is to try and get all 12 appropriations bills across the line between now and then — but that’s a big list. A lot of the individual bills are stuck in the same loggerhead as the CR. But if he can get all 12 bills across the line, then he can credibly commit to a strategy where he doesn’t want to do an omnibus negotiation with the Senate — where he can go bill by bill.
Beyond that, he needs to demonstrate that he can get those 12 bills across the line — or at least some of them across the line — by bringing his conference together. It doesn’t do him any good to get bills across by negotiating with the Democrats. But if he can find a way to get all 12 bills across the line with a conservative coalition of just Republicans, that would give him a much stronger bargaining position in any negotiations with the Senate.
If he can’t get the bills out of the House, he just set himself up either to rely on Democratic votes in the House or get jammed by the Senate sometime later in the winter.
Ward: And then he ends up facing a situation that looks a lot like McCarthy 2.0?
Glassman: Yeah. Right now, he’s at least got the so-called two-letters plan, where the new person in charge gets two letters from his predecessor. The first letter says, “When you run into trouble, blame me” — and you can see that right now, with Johnson saying things like “I didn’t do this, this wasn’t of my making.” But then the second letter says, “If you get in trouble, write two letters.”
So you get one pass where you can blame the person before you — and that’s going to work well for Johnson for a while. But eventually, it’s not McCarthy’s mess anymore. I don’t know if that’s later this winter or next spring or next year with the fiscal year 2025 bills, but at some point, it’s going to be Johnson’s mess to deal with.

They say that Chicken Noodle Soup is good for the soul. This is my first winter testing out the homemade version and I already whole-heartedly agree. First of all, it couldn’t be easier to make such a healthy and satisfying meal for my family. More importantly, Hannah LOVES to eat the chicken and fresh veggies. Finding the time to cook with two little ones is not alway easy, so I decided to bring my little assistant into the kitchen with me. Overall, she was an enthusiastic sieu chef. She also performed the royal tasting duties to ensure that the ingredients were safe to eat! I demonstrated how to peel carrots and gave her a peeler. Over time, we’ll work on making that her job.
This recipe is far from perfect, but I like to serve it to Hannah as a finger food with just a little bit of broth. It’s perfect for her because it is light on the salt and heavy on the veggies. I love to watch her eagerly pick up the pieces and announce “NOM!” with every bite.
1 Whole Chicken
8 Cups Water
6 Stalks of celery (or, use lots of the smaller stalks and reserve the large pieces for snacks)
4 teaspoons salt
1 clove garlic, diced
1/2 Pound Rotini Pasta Noodles
Chop carrots, celery, and onion into 1/4 inch pieces. Dice the garlic. Combine all ingredients, except noodles, in a large pan or slow cooker. For a slow cooker, simmer on low heat for 6-8 hours. If using a dutch oven, bring to a rolling boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 2 hours. Remove the chicken, then skin and discard the bones and fat from the chicken. In the meantime add noodles to the broth to cook for 20 to 60 minutes depending on the cooking method. Dice the chicken and add it back to the soup. Store in quart sized reusable containers and freeze any portions that won’t be eaten within 3 days.
Recipe adapted from: http://www.food.com/recipe/slow-cooker-chicken-noodle-soup-198707
The thing I’m learning about soup is that it’s a great way to use up anything in the fridge. Don’t let veggies go bad, instead make a broth or chili. Freeze extra chicken to include in your next batch of soup. On the other hand, when you cook a chicken like this, you can reserve some for other dishes like quesadillas. Let your creativity guide conscientious food use in the kitchen!
For those who have been following this blog, I’m happy to report that we are now composting. We started reserving scraps over the Holiday and received a new compost bin on Christmas day from my in-laws. Making this soup, reserving the peels for a veggie stock, and then sending everything out to the compost bin where it will ultimately help enrich the soil in our garden this summer was a huge boost for the soul. The meals I make may not always be pretty, but from now on they will be hearty and thoughtfully prepared.
This is a recipe I will be proud to pass down through generations in my family (even if they do add extra salt.)

Thanks to the investigations by the Ecuadorian physician and scientist, Dr. Byron Núñez Freile, I learned of a surprisingly high level of scientific development that took place long ago in a remote region of the world. Quito, the present-day capital of Ecuador, is nestled amidst the high Andes and was the northern capital of the Inca empire. It was conquered by the Spaniards in 1534. In this exceedingly distant land, Jesuits established a college within a year of their coming in the late 16th century. By 1622, they founded one of the oldest universities in the Americas, the Universidad de San Gregorio Magno. This was earlier than the founding of Harvard, which happened in 1642. With the passing years, the two universities may not have enjoyed a parallel development, but early on they were likely of comparable quality. Soon, San Gregorio became a major institution, with a most impressive library of 16,000 volumes, the largest in South America at the time. In its first thirty years of existence, the university granted 160 masters degrees and 120 doctorates, mostly in philosophy and theology. Nevertheless, the library holdings also included numerous scientific and medical treatises.
Quito can be reached by an easy flight these days, but in olden days getting to its lofty location (an altitude of 9,000 feet) required a week-long mule trek from the Pacific coast. Remote indeed! A major event of scientific relevance took place in 1736, when a geodetic French mission led by Charles-Marie La Condamine arrived, intent on measuring the circumference of the Earth at the equator. The French delegation interacted closely with members of the university, which resulted in a strong scientific legacy.
The scientific concerns of the times included the world we now call microbiology. No wonder. In 1589 a smallpox epidemic killed 37.5% of Quito’s inhabitants. A description of the disease in a letter by one of the priests makes clear allusion to its contagiousness. Later on, several of the Jesuits made insightful observations about the etiology of infectious diseases. Among them was Juan Magnin (1701 – 1753), a Swiss missionary who became a member of the French Academy of Sciences, who stated: There are microbes that can only be seen with a microscope that are 27 million times smaller than the smallest that can be seen with the naked eye. These facts and others seem incredible.
And …(the microscope) allows to establish that the dirt on the teeth is due to the accumulation of innumerable microbes; furthermore, it is likely that many of the diseases of the human body, especially leprosy and venereal diseases, are due to the accumulation of microbes.
The other major microbiological issue of those times, the theory of spontaneous generation, became the concern of a native-born member of the faculty, Juan Bautista Aguirre (1725 – 1786). He wrote: I affirm…that the forms of animals, even insects, are not engendered by putrefactions but they arise from eggs or germs. He also stated: …with the aid of the microscope one discovers innumerable germs incredibly small in size, in the air, water, vinegar, blood, milk, etc. The most ingenious Leuvoiseck (sic) bore witness to having seen such small germs in a drop of water that 90,000 of them did not reach the size of a grain of wheat. What he lacked in spelling skills, he made up for by a good understanding of the literature!
There is more to this history. Soon after the Jesuits were expelled in 1767, the major Ecuadorian intellectual of that age, Eugenio Espejo (1747 – 1795), made important contributions to hygiene and the containment of smallpox. His words: Within the infinite variety of these living particles (“atomillos”) we have an admirable resource to explain the prodigious multitude of diseases and symptoms… Born of an Indian father and a mestizo mother, Espejo was a notable polymath, a true product of the Enlightenment. Not only was he the most notable physician of his time in Quito, he was also a lawyer, a philosopher, and the founder of Quito’s first newspaper. As a public figure, he laid the groundwork for the independence movement that eventually led to the liberation from Spain.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, Quito was a notable center of learning and discovery. Here, in splendid isolation, far from other universities and libraries, arose a sophisticated understanding of the world of microbes, both regarding their medical importance and their biological essence. This is nothing short of remarkable.
I confess to personal glee in this story. I spent my teen years in Quito and eventually became a student at the Universidad Central, the public institution that was built on the one founded by the Jesuits so long ago.
I am grateful to Dr. Núñez Freile for having brought this remarkable story to my attention. Dr. Núñez Freile is in charge of two highly informative blogs (in Spanish), one on infectious diseases here, the other on hand washing here.

The Drevitches, Week 32: On the Road, Can a Diet Survive?
Filed under: Healthy Families Challenge
Travel is a challenge to any diet. But some trips are more dangerous than others.
I recently flew to Dallas with my 10-year-old son, Benjamin, for the U.S. Chess Federation's National Elementary Championships. The chess team at our school, P.S. 166 of Manhattan, is one of the strongest in the country, and sent 32 players to the event, including my fellow, who competed this year against the nation's best elementary-school players.
The nationals -- this was Benjamin's fourth -- is an exciting time, but nerve-wracking for parents and players alike. The demands of the four-day tournament give families scant opportunity to leave the convention-center hotel and explore the host cities. Parents typically roam the hotel lobby, waiting for our kids to return from matches that can run as long as four hours. We tend to discuss one thing above all -- where to find decent, reasonably priced food.
As we took off from New York, I was concerned that event pressure, not to mention the airport and hotel time, would torpedo my weight-loss progress. I'd plateaued at 47 pounds below my Healthy Families Challenge starting weight, and that was fine, but I didn't want to regress.
Benjamin? He was just hoping to find a lot of Texas-sized hamburgers.
Here's how it went:
Thursday. We left home early for our flight. I had a bagel ready to toast for Benjamin, but he vetoed it, preferring airport snacks. As we waited for our delayed flight, we found a breakfast bar where he ordered waffles and eggs. He ate just the waffles. This will become a trend.
I'd packed snacks for the trip, including an oversized bag of raisins, which I munched on in the air, along with miniscule packs of airline peanuts. Those raisins would last me most of the long weekend. At our connecting airport, Benjamin got a hamburger, but I passed, seeing nothing I'd feel good about eating. That night, after the national blitz (speed chess) championship -- Benjamin's team finished second -- we joined friends for dinner in the hotel's upscale restaurant. Benjamin had another hamburger. I went for salmon and green beans.
How is the Drevitch family doing? Check in on their progress!
Friday. Once upon a time, hotel breakfast buffets were among my favorite things. All you can eat for a flat fee? How could you beat that? Now it struck me as expensive for my current, downsized portion of eggs and fruit. Benjamin grabbed, yes, a few waffles. For the price, that was definitely not good value. Benjamin's lunch -- a snack-bar hot dog -- was of equally poor nutritional value. The team ordered in pizza for the kids that night, but I was fortunate enough to grab a delicious plate of kosher chicken ordered in by another New York City team using the conference room next to ours.
Saturday. The tournament gets tougher on Day Two, and the kids get more particular about food. Benjamin's breakfast? Hotel buffet waffles. I passed -- hello, raisins -- but when Benjamin emerged from a three-hour-forty-five-minute game at midday, a crushing loss as it turned out, friends from Dallas were waiting to whisk us away to Maple and Motor, an authentic biker-burger joint. Benjamin recharged with a giant hamburger. Feeling good about my choices to that point -- including a workout in the hotel gym on Friday -- I devoured a delicious fishburger with remoulade called a Salmwich. That night, the team ordered Chick-Fil-A, which -- sorry, Southerners -- did nothing for either Benjamin or myself. He instead scarfed down a half-dozen chocolate-chip granola bars. For me: raisins, cashews and a beer. (Someone had made a run.)
Sunday. After going 0-for-Saturday to leave himself with a 2-3 record, I didn't have the heart to discourage Benjamin from another buffet-waffle breakfast, or his lunch demand -- another burger from the hotel restaurant. (I should note that Benjamin and friends spent every moment not committed to chess or meals swimming in the pool, or playing football or Frisbee. When the kids emerge from that library-quiet tournament room, we all support them running off their pent-up energy.)
After the final game -- happily, a win for Benjamin, as his team clinched seventh-place -- we hailed a cab for another Dallas institution -- Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse, where Benjamin had yet another hamburger (to avoid any suspense right now, he had two more the next day, as we traveled back to New York). I ate a brisket sandwich, turning it open-faced and ditching the buttery bun.
Was it a healthy weekend? Not for Benjamin, though it could have been worse, as his constant requests for candy were (mostly) refused. For me, though, it was. After taking advantage of limited free time to work out twice, and successfully avoiding airport and hotel food while indulging in the best local fare I could find, I actually lost a pound-and-a-half. New total: 48.
But what I'll remember most from the weekend is playing Frisbee with my son on the hotel lawn as night fell, wrestling with him in our hotel room and seeing him burst onto the stage with his friends at the trophy ceremony, exulting in the culmination of five-plus years committed to a championship team.
Who's the rest of the competition? Check out all the challengers' latest updates here.

The Health Care Civil Rights Task Force is a collaboration of individuals and organizations who believe human life is inherently worthy of protection from conception through natural death.
WHO WE ARE
We are attorneys, bioethicists, health care professionals, and advocates.
We formed the Health Care Civil Rights Task Force in 2020 to address gross inequities in medical care and treatment.
We have seen a disturbing shift in health care services from saving and prolonging human life to intentionally shortening life and even facilitating death, especially when patients are injured or disabled.
We work together to help patients and families who are threatened with the withdrawal or withholding of life-sustaining care.
We assist individuals who are discriminated against because of their health care decisions.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe the sanctity of life should be the highest priority in medical decisions.
We believe the health care objectives of patients and their families should be honored.
We believe parents have the right to make health care decisions on behalf of their children.
We believe the law should protect the most vulnerable among us, including people with disabilities, people with brain injuries, people who are ill, people who are elderly, and developing children in the womb.
We believe patients have the right to spend time with their loved ones, the right to a patient advocate, and the right to be visited by clergy members of their choice.
We believe that only God has the authority to determine when life begins and ends.
WHAT WE DO
We provide advocacy, accompaniment, education, and assistance to those seeking ethical medical care.
We inform patients and families about their rights and means of redress though education, bioethics consultations, demand letters where appropriate, and, if so required, provide referrals for appropriate legal assistance or professional medical advice in which no compensation will be requested or accepted.
We protect access to religious sacraments and to clergy of a patient’s choice during medical incidents and treatment, and for moral guidance in making health care decisions.
We educate the public about bioethical and health care civil rights issues.
We articulate a truthful health care narrative that protects religious freedom and the dignity of the human person from the first moment of conception until natural death.

Short review: Straight men want to explore their sexuality so they come to this site and let gay guys do whatever they feel like doing, though sometimes the straight boys are pretty reluctant. You are looking at a hot ‘straight goes gay for pay’ site here, one that is well presented, well looked after, that has top models and amateurs, good quality productions in HD and one that updates regularly. Worth a look.
Content Amount: I counted 186 movies when I was in here, usually couples in action, and they ran for up to 30 minutes each. There were galleries too with up to 300 pics each and 288 guys in the model index. You have four ways to view each movie as well.
Content Quality: Much of the filming is in HD especially the recent movies, the quality though is always good even on the older scenes. The images are a reasonable size and clear, digital and sharp. The guys are great and horny and varied and the site runs very smoothly.

There is no denying the fact that a tutor can be an integral part of a child’s educational journey. Individual teaching can have a greater impact on how the mind of a child shapes up and how much he is able to soak in knowledge, do well in examinations and deal with the pressure and complexities of various subjects in his/her curriculum.
It is an accepted fact that in this age, most are working parents and giving substantial time to children and helping them out in studies and homework do not seem to be a feasible option for many parents. It is no way wise to blame on the inabilities of your kid to grasp a subject or fare well in an examination if he is unable to do so, find the best tutor or a professional homework help service provider who can do justice to the assignments of a kid.
Learn the early signs when your child is badly in need of a tutor
No one knows a child better than his parents and the moment you feel he is capable of achieving more and his test scores are not impressive, then it is time to find a suitable tutor for him. From helping to have a firm grip on a subject, clarifying various doubts and concepts, to patiently imparting knowledge, a good tutor proves instrumental in helping a child to know a subject better, clarify the problem areas and do his best to let a child improve the grades.
When studying or preparing for examination along with juggling several assignments or homework, a child needs to plan things well. With the level of maturity they have, parental guidance or help from tutors is very much needed. So if you find that your little champ is just making things messy postponing things, piling up one assignment after the other, his preparations are half done, don’t let your child struggle but let a tutor help him to shape his career and manage time in the most efficient manner.
If you feel that your little champ is avoiding studies, hating to study a subject, it is not only gaming consoles and partying that is on his mind, there is a certain kind of fear that is making him to shun studies. It is only a tutor who can help in making a student do away with all confusions clouded on his mind. Addressing any issue from why he hates a particular subject to clearing all the questions, self-doubts and fears, a tutor can handle a situation well.
Why you need a tutor for your child?
A teacher has the capability of building the early blocks of elemental studies helping children to acquire full comprehension of a subject. From firming the grasping abilities to comprehension skills, a tutor can help a student to have a solid educational foundation.
Not all students have the ability to soak in knowledge, clear all confusion in the classroom itself; they need care and guidance at home. It is only a wise move on the part of parents to hire a tutor so that the process of one-on-one learning help a child to open up on the difficulties of a subject and the teacher, too, can help him to understand the concepts, putting an end to their educational struggles.
It is often observed that a certain fear and shyness works for students to come up with their inabilities regarding any subject, the problem areas and communicating their struggles. So a pat on the back is a form of encouragement from tutors which helps in building confidence and self-esteem of a student. If you are thinking as to how to handle children during adolescence, why not a tutor step in and act as the best guide?
It is only a tutor who can add strength to a student’s grasping abilities honing his skills, making him more prone to enjoy studying. From boosting his confidence levels in a subject that he is good at, to making him more equipped to grapple with his weaker points, a tutor is the ultimate guide for a student.
The level pressure on the education front is increasing by each passing day and students often run from pillar to post when in need of availing homework assistance from a top service provider. A homework help company has some of the best and ace writers on board who are experts on various subjects and do justice to the custom writing papers when students approach a noted company for quality assistance.
The cons of hiring a tutor
There no such drawbacks as to why parents should not hire tutors for making their children have an overall development in the educational sphere. The list of advantages is more when tutors are appointed for students to hone their skills and become good in studies, scoring well in examinations, achieving impressive grades!

Luqaimat can be otherwise called as Arabic Doughnuts, is a very famous dessert among Arabs, which is believed to be originated in the Saudi Arabia. It’s a must have Ramadan dish and also served in almost all the cultural festivals here in UAE.
These little balls can be added with different flavors, like a simple sugar syrup drizzle or honey drizzle or a dates syrup or even a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar. Once you have a taste of it, you simply can’t resist having a whole bunch.
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp. Sugar
- 1 tbsp. Corn Flour
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 tsp. Oil
- ½ tsp. Yeast
- ½ to 1 cup Warm Water or (as required)
- Oil for Deep Frying
- ½ cup Sugar
- ½ cup Water
- ½ tsp. Cardamom Powder
- Sesame seeds for Decoration
- Add the flour, corn flour, yeast, salt and sugar altogether in a mixing bowl.
- Add the warm water little at a time while blending, do not add all together.
- Mix until you get a smooth batter.
- Pour in a bowl, cover, and let it double in size in warm place. May take an hour.
- In a deep frying pan, add oil and when hot reduce to medium heat.
- To test how hot the oil is, take a teaspoon from the batter, and carefully drop it in the oil, if it floats quickly, the oil is too hot.
- Dip a spoon in separate oil, then take a heaped teaspoon from batter, push the batter off it using another spoon.
- Careful while dropping the batter in oil.
- Move the dumplings around with a spoon, this will make them cook evenly.
- When the dumplings are light brown, remove from oil, and place them on kitchen paper.
- Prepare the syrup by adding sugar, water and cardamom powder.
- Bring it to a boil and slightly reduce.
- Let it cool and come to room temperature.
- Top the dumplings with prepared sugar syrup.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, I just slightly toasted the seeds.
- Serve and enjoy…..

It's so easy to say "I'm not thin," or "I'm not fit," or "I'm not....(fill in the blank)." What's challenging is thinking about the "I am. "
I am determined. I am getting healthier. I am making better food choices. I am incorporating exercise into my life.
Stop thinking about what you CAN'T do. Don't bother waiting till you get that perfect size, perfect weight, perfect number for you life to begin. Do it now. Start it now.
Now it is your turn "I AM....(fill in the blank)."

Anexia is a company, that was founded ten years ago and was able to grow rapidly over the last years. We are providing IT services and individual software for over 10,000 customers worldwide. We offer virtual server infrastructure in 70 countries. This is possible due to our nine offices in all over Europe and the USA – and the best employees on the planet <3.
One of our wonderful smart cookies is Stephan Peijnik. His heart is on fire for IT and he is Anexia’s Head of Research and Development, as which he’s working on and trying out new technologies all day long.
Finding such clever minds isn’t always easy. Degrees and cram-full CVs are often not very meaningful. A passionate approach is what’s important. And there aren’t any measuring devices or certificates for that. But let’s stop moaning, because after all there are success stories to tell like Stephan’s. Stephan started his career at Anexia with an internship and soon we realized that our hearts are beating in the same rhythm.
We want to share Stephan’s story here in regards to JOIN OUR REVOLUTION.
Dear Stephan, could you please introduce yourself? What do you do at Anexia?
I am a dedicated IT aficionado; I started tinkering with computers at a young age. After finishing a technical college (HTBLVA Villach), I began studying computer science at the Technical University Graz. In 2010, I started working at Anexia never stopped. Currently I am responsible for research and development which is also my job title: Head of Research and Development.
And what does this involve in detail?
Whenever Alex (Managing Director Alexander Windbichler, editor’s note) has a flash of genius I am the one who makes it happen and turn ideas into code. (laughs). Also when colleagues have an idea that could benefit either customers or us, its my departments turn to implement it. Sometimes it is also just a matter of simplifying workflows.
That means you are Anexia’s Gyro Gearloose?
I suppose you could put it that way. I am responsible for all steps of in my projects: from brainstorming over implementation all the way to product maturity. Behind the scenes I am also working on the Anexia Engine (the new backend system for customers, editor’s note), where I often create enabling technologies for individual components.
How many people are on your team and where are you located?
Since January 1, 2016, my team is based in Graz, and currently consists of two people. Our daily work is closely tied in with Anexia’s other departments, especially with our system administrators. Sometimes their needs nearly make it necessary to reinvent the wheel (laughs).We also work hand in hand with the software development department, with whom we engineer sophisticated technical solutions for individual customers. One could say, at Anexia we often work together across department boundaries.
Let’s talk briefly about yourself again: What got you interested in your profession in the first place; have you always wanted to become Head of Research and Development?
To be honest, I must say it was not a clearl idea and I certainly did not write it as career wish to my friends in the friendship book (laughs). It just somehow happened this way. I have always enjoyed trying new things and I like living on the bleeding edge. I first started tinkering with a PC (still a 486 model back then) when I was just 7 years old. At age 11 I began programming, then still quite simple games. My educational choice seemed only natural in that sense, so I attended a technical college for networking technology in Villach and then studied computer science in Graz. While still at university I landed an internship at Anexia – and that is how it all started.
From Intern to Head of Research and Development
That means your internship turned into a full-time job? Was there so much to do?
That is right: there actually was a lot to do at Anexia back then. So, I gradually took on more hours over the years until I ended up with a full-time job. During that time I finished my bachelor’s degree, which might have taken longer because of my passion for working at Anexia and even kept me from pursuing a master’s degree.
What do you like about your job and what motivates you at work?
First of all, it is great that I was able to experience and influence, to some extend, the development from a small company to a large business over the past years. Of course, there are constant challenges in my area of responsibility. I regularly have to deal with new technical issues and come up with suitable solutions. This requires being up to date with the latest developments in my field. The biggest challenge is working with young, not yet well-known technologies and creating something new with them, aiming at perfection. Furthermore, sometimes problems emerge which require solutions nearly as complex as rocket science.
What does your daily work routine look like?
Every day is different; there is no daily routine (laughs). But if you are referring to the process of product development: first someone has an idea, which is then internally evaluated for viability. We then start planning and afterwards the implementation phase begins. This includes writing code, consulting with other departments, documentating and so on. Ideally we would finish one project before beginning the next. In reality however, we work on several projects in parallel, depending on the urgency and size of the projects.
Can you give me an example of such a project?
We recently needed an additional sensor for our internal monitoring system in order to monitor a server’s performance. Projects like that, are always handled alike: After getting a request from our system administrator team, we come up with and discuss possible solutions, decide on one and go straight to the implementation phase. In the case mentioned earlier, we had the resources to have the system in operation half a day later.
What do you do when you are not focused on IT?
Technology is always on my mind (laughs). Besides working in this field I also participate in various IT meetups, such as the “Security Treff Graz”. Of course not everything I do is connected to somputers. I like riding my Vespa and occasionally I go climbing or bouldering, but I haven’t done that for some time now. At times I just like to be a couch potato and spend an evening watching television.
If somebody wants to do something like you do, what sort of training do they need?
The essential things are interest in the matter and self-motivation. For me, my job is a game, where the goal is to understand things, but that has nothing to do with computer games (grins). If, like me, someone likes to solve problems IT might offer the right job for them. You do not necessarily need a degree for this, but it gives you the theoretical foundations, which are also helpful in practice. The best decision for me still was going to a technical college. Everything else depends on one’s personal interest and joy. For me it is important that work is enjoyable, which is not a big deal in my case: my job is my calling (laughs).
For me, my job is a game, where the geal is to understand things.
You already mentioned earlier that you always like to be involved when it comes to new things. How do you always manage to stay up to date?
For me it isn’t difficult, as I am someone who gets excited easily about new inventions. I am clearly an early adopter, especially in my priavte life. When there is something new, I need it (laughs). Professionally this true to some extend, because new technologies tend to be immature and do not always replace old ones richt away.
What exactly do you mean by immature? Shouldn’t companies always use the latest software or the latest technology?
This is a tricky question. Of course it is important to keep an eye open for upcoming technologies, get to know them to be able to subsequently expand and enhance the existing infrastructure and incorporate those new technologies. That’s what we do for our customers at Anexia – upgrade steadily whilst keeping services stable and reliable at all times.
So, would you say training is absolutely essential in your job?
Yes, totally. That is why I am always braodening my skills, because the IT environment is constantly underdoing changes. The worst thing one could do is to completely ignore new technologies. As absurd a development may seem, you have to at least take a closer look before you can decide for or against it.
Do you think there are topics that get too little public attention
Yes, for me IT security and encryption are absolutely essential topics. The current discussions about banning encryption should be seen critically. After all, the statement “I have nothing to hide” may sound nice, but I do not think we would want our most personal information out in public. Therefore, IT security must be handled more carefully. Data collection by itself is not the issue, but unauthorized third parties accessing this data is problematic without doubt. After all they might have bad intentions or might use our personal data for completely unwanted purposes. For example: What if you were looking for a job and had chronic back problems which require ongoing treatment. If your future employer knew about it, how high would the chances of landing the job be?
We call upon you: Join our Revolution. Tell us about your future-looking visions or your successful experiences in Carinthia, or anywhere else around the globe. Talk about the good things, not about the bad ones. Check our vacancies and become part of the Anexia family: Join us on an open and brave walk towards the future.

How to 'street-up' formal wear
I love statement dresses, especially gold statement dresses.
But how do you walk around without looking like you're attending prom all the time, is the big question. And if you're anything like me, i like to pair the formal with the not so formal, creates good balance. Adds contrast. Develops a personality. okay, i'll stop now. Add pants to the dress. Add combat boots to the dress. Add something opposite, something that you'd never think to put together. It's that exact juxtaposition that create the interest. Unexpected pairings are always more fun. Always.

A small team based in Melbourne, Australia wants to change how you view your studio lights. They say their new invention, the LED Light cube, offers answers to age-old problems. Their Cube has no recycle time, better control over light output and no external battery packs. Due to The LED Light Cube using an LED model rather than a filament, the Cube can just as easily double as a video light as well as a flash. Sounds cool right?
LED has grown in popularity immensely over the past two years, and I had heard of some manufacturers toying with the idea of using LED as a strobe as well as a constant light. That's exactly what this little cube purportedly does. So here is what the team has come up with:
- LED Light source
- Continuous high speed flashing at full power
- High capacity – over 1000 flashes from a single battery charged to full power
- 300 watts (f22 @ 1 meter / 100 ISO)
- Stackable for building versatile light banks
- Adjustable flash speed – 1/8000 secs to 30 secs
- 5500k color temperature
- Stable color temperature, even while power levels are adjusted
- Dimmable video light
- Noiseless. No internal fan. No added noise on film production.
- Master control – one unit controls those interlocked (master/slave)
- Modelling light feature
- Fully portable with internal battery
- Trigger remotely via synch cable, wireless trigger or as a light sensitive slave
- Size: 100mm (approx. 4 inches) x 100mm x 100mm
- Weight: 0.750kg (approx. 1.65 lbs)
I like the idea of stacking the cubes together to create larger banks of light. What I'm most curious about is the quality of light this produces. I also will want to see some modifiers for it, since even though it might not need softening like a traditional flash tube, I would still like the option to sculpt the light to my choosing.
For more, you should check out their Indiegogo page. So, are you interested?

Robot Wars Discussion
I also added a photo effect called 'vivid tones' or something like that, all it does it make it look...well....better...
Or is that just...too...sad...?
On a happier note: the 360 Elite is finally coming here. We have our own sorta E3 called "GITEX" and it not only displays up and coming games, but the latest in tech as well. The Elite will be demo'd there and slapped into shelves after the Expo. Same for the H3 360, but that has a reported price tag of $600. And only a few will come here. Elite is close to $500, but to hell with that. I have 300, and I'll try and cash my 9 As and a B in for 200.
However, I would suggest to just get the Core or Pro system. (Core if you want a wired controller, Pro if you want a wireless controller).
They're a bit cheaper, but a lot less HDD space. However, 20GB is a lot of space in itself. So unless you're going to be downloading a bunch of movies and TV shows onto your HDD, then I would go with the other two.
Also my dad's a huge fan of Nat Geo, so he'd be downloading extra stuff as well.
Mum likes her movies, and XBL seems to have a lot of on-demand stuff. So she'd be downloading it as well.
Ideally, I wanna get the Elite. I'll be putting tons of music, games, shows and movies once I get XBL, so I need the capacity. If it doesn't work out, then I'll get the Pro. I'm not going for Core... Core is for n00bs. I might get the 120GB HDD later, but that would be kinda pointless in the short run cos Pro + 120GB > Elite (with 120 included).
I got the Core. Why? Because the wired controller is better for my situation. It's better during and Halo 2 match, no worries about changing batteries in the middle of one.
And anyways, I was planning to get a 360 controller for windows in the first place to play Halo PC. Mouse and keypad doesn't work for me as well as a controller. So I get the Elite, H3, XBL and Windows controller. I'll use the controller for 360 when I'm online only, and maybe when the wireless is dead.
And besides (for some strange reason here), Core + 20 GB HDD > Pro
Core: Dhs 1300
Pro: Dhz 1800
Elite: Dhs 1950
20GB HDD: Dhs 800
120GB HDD: Dhs 1050
Core + 20GB HDD = Dhs 2100 (more than Pro AND Elite)
Therefore, Core + 20GB HDD > Pro
Pro + 120GB HDD = Dhs 2850 > Elite
It's a messed up world here. But that's how it is. Virgin Megastore say they priced it like that to encourage people to go for the packages. Rather annoying if you think about it. >_>

With the colder weather approaching, it may be time to start thinking about winterizing your balcony. Many people are starting to close their balcony doors for the winter season, but some residents overlook this important outdoor space during the winter. However, with the right preparation and decorations or balcony plantings, you can comfortably enjoy this unique space throughout the year. Here are the key steps you can take to keep yourself and your plants warm in the winter and create more comfort in this area.
Table of Contents
Consider important factors and winterize a balcony
Sure, most balconies have limited floor space, but they offer the opportunity to experience beautiful views. Just like patios, their usability is highly responsive to weather changes. In fact, the winter months can leave a regular balcony user stuck indoors, wishing for warmer months. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. In general, the best way to winterize your apartment balcony is to enclose the space, add a heater, and provide adequate air circulation and sunlight. However, in doing so, you should keep moisture and cold wind out and allow yourself and your guests to breathe freely. In addition, you should still make sure that your balcony plants can survive the winter as well.
So from your balcony, enjoy the fresh air and possibly unparalleled views as the autumn landscape fills with color. If you’re worried about the cold, there are plenty of ways to make your outdoor space cozy. If you have a condo or apartment with a balcony, you can use it throughout the year instead of just during the summer months. Take a look at a few ideas for warm-ups. This way, you can make your balcony more comfortable during the winter season and feel more at home there. Find out how to keep your balcony warm during the winter, along with some decorating ideas and different outdoor winter plants.
Preparing yourself and your balcony furniture for the cold season
An important aspect of winterizing your balcony is covering your furniture. Any cover will do, provided it is the right size. If you want to go a step further and really protect your furniture, you can also consider shrink wrap. In addition, covering balcony furniture is essential if it is wood or metal or even plastic. Covers provide protection from rain and wind. Therefore, you should first prepare your outdoor furniture for the winter months by covering it when not in use. However, the only catch is that you can uncover the balcony furniture anytime you decide to use the outdoor area. Also, make sure that the furniture underneath stays dry when you cover it. After all, sitting wetness can lead to unwanted mold growth.
When it comes to warmth on the balcony, you can use a cozy blanket to wrap yourself with it on cold days. This will make your morning coffee on the balcony taste good even at low temperatures. Watch the sunrise and enjoy a strong start to the day on winter mornings. With a cup of hot chocolate or coffee, you can sit outside and relax throughout the year. Blended fabrics with natural fibers are great for keeping out the cooler air. If you have an outdoor outlet, you can also get an electric blanket to help you spend more time outside when winterizing your balcony.
Remove home textiles and winterize the balcony.
Removing cushions and throws is another important step. Even if you don’t have snow, winter is usually more humid than the warmer months, which can lead to mold growth on soft furnishings. However, if you live in a warm place, you should buy some blankets made of wool instead. They are much warmer and look great as balcony decorations in winter. Also, if you use waterproof pillowcases, you can usually leave them outside as well.
Install a canopy or windbreak
Logically, one of the main reasons why people don’t use their balconies in winter is because of the low temperatures. If you can install a windbreak on your balcony, it will allow you to eliminate much of this inconvenience. For example, a plexiglass barrier attached to your railing or a natural wall of winter plants can protect you from bad weather conditions. In addition, building a temporary winter balcony enclosure can be a solution to withstand precipitation or snow. Accordingly, depending on what type of enclosure you build, it can help insulate both the balcony and your home.
Add heating and candles
An electric heater is a perfect addition to any balcony in the winter. Although most condos and apartments do not allow fire as a heater on the balcony, an electric radiant heater with automatic shut-off is perfect. However, make sure you don’t have any loose fabrics or plants nearby and enjoy the warmth while staying outside throughout the winter. If you don’t care about looks, any portable space heater would be fine. However, infrared heaters can warm you directly, so be sure to consider one in your search.
In addition, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere on your balcony can entice you to spend more time outside during the winter months. Lots of candles can create a winter wonderland that you’re sure to enjoy. Just a few strategically placed candles can raise the temperature a few degrees and reflect a warm and inviting light.
Choose winter hardy plants for your balcony
There is a huge selection of plants that you can use to plant and beautify your balcony area in winter. Your balcony may not otherwise look very inviting during the winter months after you remove your colorful summer plants. Improve the look of your outdoor space with some appropriate plants to bring your winter balcony back to life. Don’t avoid your outdoor space just because the winter season is almost here. Some options include holly, snowdrops, cyclamen, heather, dwarf conifers, chard, ivy and even kale.
If you can not bring potted plants indoors, you need to winterize them outside the balcony. Your options include building or buying a terrarium or mini-greenhouse. Even a cover will provide some insulation from colder weather for the plants. Another option is to insulate the pots with jute, wool or coir. You can buy these products at hardware or garden stores.
Hopefully, this article has given you some tips on how to keep your balcony warm and low maintenance in the winter. If you want to use it, be sure to invest in some winter balcony decorations and winter plants for your outdoor balcony. Should you choose to close your balcony for the season, it’s best to make sure your furniture is properly treated and protected so it’s ready to go next year. With the right additions, a creative windbreak and some cozy blankets, you can go out on your balcony and enjoy the view all year round.

New Faces Poised to Shake Up Establishment at Roxy Pro Gold Coast
COOLANGATTA, Australia- The 2009 ASP Women’s World Tour season is just days from commencing with the Roxy Pro Gold Coast presented by LG Mobile scheduled from February 28 through March 11, 2009.
Event No. 1 of 8 on the 2009 ASP Women’s World Tour season, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast will see the return of such high-profile athletes as reigning two-time ASP Women’s World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 21, defending Roxy Pro Champion Sofia Mulanovich (PER), 25, among others, but the new faces this season have been generating a bit of buzz themselves.
Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 18, 2008 ASP WQS No. 1 finisher, made history last season, wrapping up her Dream Tour qualification well before the halfway mark. Now a full-fledged ASP Women’s World Tour campaigner, Fitzgibbons enters into the Roxy Pro Gold Coast as the No. 1 rookie.
“I’m really excited to be competing in my first competition as a full-time ASP Women’s World Tour member,” Fitzgibbons said. “I’ve had a bit of experience as a wildcard at this level, but I’ve narrowly missed out as a trialist at Snapper the last couple of times so to be in the main event. Snapper Rocks is one of my favorite waves and to have the opportunity to surf it with just one other person will be incredible.”
Despite unprecedented success at the ASP WQS level, Fitzgibbons remains guarded about her transitional efforts to the elite level of competition, but the prodigious natural-footer is sure to make an impression in the coming weeks.
“The main difference between the WQS and the ASP Women’s World Tour is probably going to be the venues,” Fitzgibbons said. “We get to surf such great locations on tour and the events take really good care of us. It will definitely be an interesting year with Layne (Beachley) off tour and Steph (Gilmore) looking to grab her third consecutive ASP Women’s World Title. With have five new rookies on this season and that will be exciting to see them shake things up.”
Firzgibbons will face Silvana Lima (BRA), 24, and Megan Abubo (HAW), 31, in Round 1 of competition when the Roxy Pro Gold Coast commences.
Chelsea Hedges (AUS), 25, former ASP Women’s World Champion, has returned this season as the ASP wildcard, following a one-year sabbatical where she had daughter Meika. Hedges was awarded the ASP Wildcard for 2009 and will begin her comeback on the ASP Women’s World Tour at home on the Gold Coast for the Roxy Pro.
“I’m just excited to be back in competition and to get to surf a heat again,” Hedges said. “It’s so nice to come back here at home at start the season off at Snapper Rocks. Since having Meika, I’ve had to rebuild my core strength and I have been training quite regularly at CHEK with Jan Carton and I’ve been surfing a lot. I feel about as ready as I’ll ever be.”
Since stepping away from the ASP Women’s World Tour in 2007, Hedges has been absent for some major transitions on the Dream Tour: the acquisition of a second consecutive ASP Women’s World Title by Stephanie Gilmore, the semi-retirement of former seven-time ASP Women’s World Champion Layne Beachley (AUS), 36, etc.
“It’s amazing how much the tour seems to have changed in just one year,” Hedges said. “It was really exciting to watch online last year and see some of the new girls really pushing the sport. Sally (Fitzgibbons) will be really one to watch and Steph (Gilmore) is always the girl to beat. I feel very fortunate that I’ll be on tour this season with all the new girls and I’m excited to push my surfing and try a few new maneuvers.”
Hedges will face defending Roxy Pro Gold Coast Champion Sofia Mulanovich (PER), 25, and 2009 ASP Women’s World Tour rookie Coco Ho (HAW), 18, in Round 1 when competition commences.
Roxy Pro Gold Coast Round 1 Match-Ups:
Heat 1: Samantha Cornish (AUS), Jessi Miley-Dyer (AUS), Paige Hareb (NZL)
Heat 2: Amee Donohoe (AUS), Jacqueline Silva (BRA), Alana Blanchard (HAW)

NEWS- Repeat offender: Greenleaf attacker gets 4 1/2 years
Serial groper Robert Terrell Haskins has finally been hit with a felony conviction, and prosecutors are welcoming the more-than-four-years sentence for an assault and break-in.
Haskins has a history of assaulting women. He achieved local notoriety when he was convicted for the infamous December 30, 2002, assault of a young mother who was in Greenleaf Park with her baby– an attack that came at the height of fears over the still-unsolved serial rapist case.
Haskins was sentenced the following March to six months for knocking the woman down in broad daylight after a substitute judge found him guilty of misdemeanor sexual battery rather than felony attempted rape, a decision that angered local law enforcement.
"He is an obvious threat to women in this community," said Charlottesville police captain Chip Harding following the 2003 sentencing.
Haskins was barely out of jail when he chased a female jogger down Locust Avenue. That October 9, 2003, incident earned him a 30-day suspended sentence for obstruction of justice.
Next, he grabbed the buttocks of a juvenile jogger on Locust Avenue on February 18, 2004, and was sentenced to two months in jail for misdemeanor sexual battery. Police believe he was also the man reported making sexually suggestive remarks to a woman on Jefferson Street around that time.
The attack that puts him away for the longest stretch yet took place November 26, 2005, a case that originally came to Charlottesville prosecutor Elizabeth Killeen as a computer theft.
Haskins followed a woman to her Little High Street home and asked to use the bathroom. When he started acting strangely, the woman asked him to leave, say police.
Instead, he grabbed her by the belt, kissed her, and put his hand over her mouth, warning her not to scream. The woman was unharmed, but several days later she discovered a purse and laptop missing, and reported the theft.
"From what she described, we knew exactly who it was," says Killeen. The lip-lock victim identified Haskins from a line-up– but did not want to press charges for the stolen kiss. "I prosecuted over her objections," says Killeen.
Haskins, who turned 23 on Halloween, will serve three years on a 20-year suspended sentence for breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony. He received 12 months for assault and battery, and picked up another six months for conspiracy to commit larceny in a plea on county charges, according to court records.
"We were very pleased with the sentence," says Killeen. "It was an upward departure from the guidelines, where the upper end would be two years." And it's unusual, she adds, for a first felony conviction sentence to exceed the guidelines.
"Authorities had been seeking to have Mr. Haskins convicted of a felony for some time," she adds.
Public defender Llezelle Dugger declines to comment about whether police and prosecutors were gunning for Haskins in seeking a sentence that so exceeded guidelines.
"I generally don't comment on my cases," says Dugger, but she adds, "His IQ is retarded. That's the bottom line."
Before his arrests for attacking women, Haskins attended Grafton, a school for students with mental and emotional disorders, and he allegedly told police that when he doesn't take his medication, "I do wild stuff."
"He has very limited intelligence and very limited impulse control," says Killeen.
Haskins was rejected for the inmate workforce program October 10 with the notation, "This individual has very serious emotional problems and is not suited to the program."
Robert Terrell Haskins, arrested for multiple groping incidents since 2003, goes to jail for four and a half years for stealing a computer– and a kiss.

Outdoor wall lights offer a variety of uses. They can be used in a practical sense as security or safety lighting. Alternatively they can add an ambient atmosphere to an outdoor area. When selecting a solar wall light, consider your purpose for lighting, how bright does it need to be and how long does it need to operate. Would you prefer the softer tones of warm white LED’s or the crisper tones of pure white LED’s? Does your light need to turn on automatically or only as required? Compare the different features of each light below to find the best solution for you.

Commission celebrates NCCCO's 15th anniversary and recognizes charter members
June 2011 - The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) held its spring meetings in Lexington, KY on April 18-21, 2011. Hosted by Link-Belt Construction Equipment, the event comprised three days of committee meetings followed by the full Commission meeting on the last day.
Highlights of the meetings included a Link-Belt factory tour and an NCCCO 15th anniversary dinner sponsored by Link-Belt, where charter Commissioners (who have continued to serve as full Commissioners since the Commission was established in 1996) were recognized and awarded commemorative plaques. Charter Commissioners honored were:
- Dennis Eckstine, Eckstine & Associates, Inc. (Waynesboro, PA)
- Ron Kohner, Landmark Engineering Services (Roseville, MN)
- J. Chris Ryan, Boh Bros. Construction Company (New Orleans, LA)
- Bill Smith, NationsBuilders Insurance Services (Pasadena, MD)
- Bill Stramer, Link-Belt Construction Equipment (Lexington, KY)
- Joe Bob Williams, East Texas Crane Academy (LaPorte, TX)
Charter members of NCCCO’s Commission were recognized at NCCCO’s 15th Anniversary Celebration Dinner hosted by Link-Belt Construction Equipment Co. Pictured left to right (holding plaques) are: Bill Smith (NBIS), Dennis Eckstine (Eckstine & Associates), Ron Kohner (Landmark Engineering), J. Chris Ryan (Boh Bros.), J.R. Williams (East Texas Crane Academy), and Bill Stramer (Link-Belt Construction Equipment Co.). They are flanked by Kerry Hulse, Commission Chairman (left) and Executive Director, Graham Brent.
“NCCCO’s regularly scheduled meetings are crucial to the execution of its mission to promote safer lifting operations,” said NCCCO Executive Director, Graham Brent. “Our volunteers represent all sectors of industry, and their participation is key to ensuring that NCCCO remains responsive to the needs of all industry stakeholders.”
NCCCO Commissioners and staff gather after touring the Link-Belt factory in Lexington, KY.
Over the four days, more than 60 subject matter experts volunteered their time to help maintain and refine policies and rules for six different NCCCO certification programs. The participation of these committee members and guests from across industry plays a key part in ensuring that CCO exams remain current and relevant. The committees constantly update the exams to meet current industry practices and evolving OSHA, ASME B30, and other standards. In addition to NCCCO’s role as industry liaison with OSHA, many NCCCO committee members also sit on the ASME B30 committees that develop those standards, and that helps keep NCCCO exams current with industry trends.
During the final day’s full Commission meeting, two serving Commissioners were elected to new five-year terms, and three new Alternate Commissioners were elected, further deepening the Commission’s industry representation, which includes owners, manufacturers, labor, government/regulatory agencies, associations, users, insurance, consultants, and international interests.

PAKISTAN wants its Afghan refugees to go home. The repatriation numbers are staggering: more than 600,000 Afghan refugees are said to have returned home from Pakistan in 2016, to a country still under attack by the Afghan Taliban. In April alone, at least 140 soldiers and military officers died in an assault on an Afghan military base, the deadliest such attack since 2001.
The ‘voluntary’ repatriation of Afghan refugees is in truth often forced, achieved by harassment — through police extortion and bribery, raids and confiscation of legal documents, making the legal status of many insecure and temporary. This violates the tripartite agreement between the UNHCR, the refugee agency and the Pakistan and Afghan governments.
The thread that runs through this is Pakistan’s narrative on Afghan refugees — ‘economic burdens’, ‘criminals’ and ‘terrorists’ — the latter being the latest refrain. After the APS, Peshawar, attack, the National Action Plan called for a “comprehensive policy for Afghan refugees, beginning with their registration” — thus linking them with the plan to counter terrorism and extremism in Pakistan.
This conflation of refugees with terrorism is disingenuous (and hypocritical, given our derision of the West’s parallel right-wing narrative on refugees). What is true is that Operation Zarb-i-Azb drove the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) out of the tribal areas into Afghanistan, from where they are now planning and conducting attacks on Pakistan. But are they Afghan? No. And are they linked with Afghan refugees who have lived in Pakistan for decades? Again, no.
In between the blame game rests the fate of millions.
This narrative furthers our obfuscation on extremism — blaming attacks conducted by the TTP on other countries, mainly India and the US. Refugees serve as yet another scapegoat, a convenient foil that will inhibit the battle against extremism that must be waged within.
For years, Afghanistan has blamed Pakistan for attacks on its soil — planned by the Afghan Taliban, many of whom had taken sanctuary in Pakistan after being driven out of Afghanistan by the US since 2001. Pakistan now blames Afghanistan of the same thing with regard to the TTP.
But these duelling Afghan and Pakistani narratives are one-sided. There is complicity on both sides of their long, complex history — though arguably more on Pakistan’s side. Following the Soviet-Afghan war, Pakistan supported the Afghan Taliban in the ensuing power struggle. The Afghan Taliban had brought forth another dark period in Afghanistan, leading to the 2001 US invasion of the country and the war that followed. To date, Afghanistan alleges that Pakistan allows the Taliban sanctuary on its soil from where they plan attacks on the former country.
On the other hand, Afghanistan would do well to remember that Pakistan has graciously hosted millions of its refugees over the past four decades, even as it has itself been stressed economically, and, more recently, in terms of security. And Afghanistan could also now deny sanctuary to the TTP, but it has apparently not done so.
It is time for Pakistan to change its narrative and, better still, its policy towards the refugees from Afghanistan. From a cynical perspective, driving refugees out further harms the country’s image internationally. But from the more important moral perspective, returning them to a place where they will be insecure is unconscionable.
Pakistan’s policy towards refugees has always been inadequate. Consider the children of Afghan refugees born in Pakistan, for whom this has been the only home they have ever known. They have no path to naturalisation. Of those born in Pakistan, only children of Pakistani parents are legally entitled to citizenship.
Pakistan is not a signatory to the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees, which calls for their assimilation and naturalisation. When Afghan refugees are registered here, they can get a Proof of Registration card that recognises them as “Afghan citizens temporarily residing in Pakistan”.
But the Afghan conflict has dragged on for more than 40 years, and there is no end in sight. Given that Pakistan has been home to millions of Afghan refugees for decades, it would do well to offer those who want to stay a path to naturalisation, and economic and social integration.
When Pakistan’s own population is stretched, and many of the country’s own are ‘otherised’ and marginalised, one may wonder whether we can extend our hand to refugees. If we do, we can offer an example to an increasingly xenophobic world intent on closing down borders. We may well find that a nation that takes on the responsibility of others with humanity and empathy finds a clearer path to overcoming its own demons.

Shame: How America’s Past Sins Have Polarized Our Country came out in 2015, but it remains as relevant as ever as an analysis of race and the political divisions that have become inflamed in America.
Shame is autobiography interspersed with historical and political context, making it a book that is more interesting, though perhaps less dryly academic, than the work of many others like Thomas Sowell (in, for example, The Quest for Cosmic Justice).
Steele follows a similar trajectory to Sowell; starting out as a young black man in America and then experiencing a world that had prejudged him. Steele’s account of racism shows how even those who perceived themselves as enlightened took part in bigotry and were unwilling to make personal sacrifices to reach the proper standard of just behavior.
And like Sowell, Steele brings his concerns with the political machinations of the modern left to the table. As a staunch advocate of individual rights and reforms, he argues that the philosophical and intellectual leaders among the conservatives have undertaken a noble quest to remove injustice and create a more perfect system.
He compares this perspective–the perspective of his father–with the modern belief that the past oppressions of America have shown it to be unfit and that only radical changes can improve society.
In 2015, this might have been derided as a strawman of the left, but recent events have shown Steele’s judgment to be eerily prescient.
His experiences with student radicalism and the Black Panthers in exile play a prominent role in forming his perception of the left, and one of the fundamental distinctions that he cites is the question of American exceptionalism: the idea that something novel about liberty, freedom, and self-reliance has been responsible for America being distinct from other countries.
Steele is less focused on the nature of American exceptionalism–he discusses it only in passing–but it is the divide between the political right, who see the exceptionalism as something that makes America worth preserving, and the political left, who are cynical about whether it even exists that forms the underlying foundation of the work.
Although it is less academically rigorous and more anecdotal than some other books written by prominent conservative voices on race in society, Shame is an important contribution to the corpus. Perhaps it is exactly the personal nature, the intersection between the world and the man, that makes it as powerful and valuable as it is.
Find it: Amazon affiliate link. I listened to the Audible version, available from the same page.
Rating: 5 out of 5
For the kids: It’s not a light text, but it blends personal interest and useful information. Shame includes accounts of real events and quotes that might trouble younger readers.
Who will enjoy it?
Conservatives seeking an answer to Critical Race Theory-derived views on the American history of race. People who like biographies with a touch of extra cerebral material. It’s well-written enough to hold broad appeal to audiences as a relevant text to understanding the American experience.

By BRETT DUNLAP
The Parkersburg News and Sentinel
PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — The cost of the response to the Intercontinental Export-Import Plastics warehouse fire is already over $1.5 million as bills start rolling into the Wood County Commission from agencies and groups.
County Administrator Marty Seufer presented bills from local fire departments at Monday’s county commission meeting. Many of the bills presented detailed accounts of time on the scene by firefighters and for equipment as well as the cost for damaged and lost equipment and related expenses as departments responded.
County officials said they have also received bills from special contractors who did work on the scene of the fire on Camden Avenue that burned for a week, starting early Oct. 21.
”The information we have to date would put the cost at over $1.5 million,” Commission President Blair Couch said. ”If you look at the county finances, our Rainy Day and Special Building Fund totaled about $1.2 million.”
Before a commitment by Gov. Jim Justice to provide state funds to pay the cost of fighting the fire, county officials were worried the cost would have fallen squarely on the county’s shoulders.
”We did not exaggerate when we said this could have bankrupt the county,” Couch said. ”Without the governor’s assistance, that fire would still be burning right now.”
Without the work of special contractors, like Specialized Professional Services Inc. (SPSI), the fire could have burned for three to four weeks, officials said.
Couch said they are still awaiting bills from some fire departments and environmental companies that monitored air quality.
”We are trying to get all of the bills together so we can present one billing to the state of West Virginia for reimbursement,” Couch said.
Officials believe they need to present all of the costs at once. They believe the state may make out a single payment once presented with a bill.
”We are all concerned that if we send one bill, they will think it is over,” Couch said. ”We want all of the bills so they can bite the number hard when it arrives.”
Officials discussed instituting a deadline for departments and groups to have their bills submitted. No action was taken.
”I’m afraid once they write that check they are done,” Seufer said.
Officials want to include as many departments and companies as possible and are encouraging groups and organizations to get their bills in as soon as possible.
The county is looking to the property owner, SurNaik Holdings of WV, to cover expenses relating to the fire or through its insurance carrier.
County officials are not sure who Naik’s insurance carrier is.
”We have not heard anything about what their liability insurance covers,” Couch said.
They have assurances from Saurabh Naik, head of the company, that costs for the fire departments and others involved would have expenses covered.
Of the bills submitted Monday, the Lubeck Volunteer Fire Department incurred $10,910 for 27 lost and damaged pieces equipment. It had 27 members of the department respond who put in a total of 1,395 hours on the scene.
The Parkersburg Fire Department, which is a paid fire department, incurred 60.5 hours of overtime. The Tower One truck was used for 72 hours while Ladder Five was used for 17 hours and Engine 6 was used for 12 hours.
The Washington Bottom Volunteer Fire Department had nine people on scene for a total of 419 hours. One of the trucks pumped water for 16 hours before it developed an electrical malfunction and the department had to rent another truck which pumped water for an additional 24 hours. Its lost/damaged equipment came out to $200 and expenses for food and water came out to $180.
The Williamstown Volunteer Fire Department had 12 firefighters on scene for a total of 256 hours. Engine 8 pumped water for 36 hours. Its cost for lost/damaged equipment was $1,560.
The Eastwood Volunteer Fire Department had 19 firefighters for a total of 690.5 hours. Engine 66 was on the scene for 199 hours and Tanker 62 was on the scene for 88 hours. The department had 13 missing pieces of equipment.
The Smithville Volunteer Fire Department had seven firefighters for a total of 15 hours and 48 minutes.
The Deerwalk Volunteer Fire Department had 17 firefighters who were on scene for a total of 352.5 hours. It submitted receipts for diesel fuel totaling $378.
The county identified the departments and groups that would be billing for services related to the fire and told them to have their bills in soon. They are still expecting a bill from the Marietta Fire Department.
”Hopefully, in the next few days we will have them to be able to do something with them,” Seufer said. ”We are trying to get as close to 100 percent before we send them out.”
Once they get all of the bills in, county officials want to submit copies of the total bills to Naik and the office of West Virginia Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety to make sure the appropriate people have it.
”We are on the hook until we get the money,” Seufer said.

Unsurprisingly, I’ve still got a lot to say on the subject of Christmas specials. Oh, I’ve spared all of you in the last few years. Your disinterest was palpable, and we instead focused on less old timey, sentimental Holiday cheer, in favor of Laser Time Subjects like Christmas Horror Movies, our Kwanzaa Spectacular, and or course, Filthy Christmas Songs Volume 1 and Volume 2.
But if the They Said, We Said‘s YouToons show is willing to defy you cheerless Grinchy Edgelords, you best believe I’m here for it. Oh yes, THRILL as we talk for upwards of an hour about the legendarily “special” output of Rankin-Bass, makers of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and a billion other Xmas specials based on songs and/or with a biblical bent.
Cheers to Kody Smith and Jonathan Dunning for inviting me on, genuinely caring about the Sonic Team of annual Christmas Content, and most importantly, using a picture of me where I look much less fat. Note the difference in Laser Time’s Cartoon Christmas Animation Festival, an event I just hosted featuring a dozen timeless Yuletide shorts, now available for $5 supporters of the Laser Time Patreon.
Posted by Chris Antista on Thursday, December 13, 2018
And of course, if you haven’t had a lick of the Laser Time Halloween Cartoon Festival, you need to get a rock of that shit ASAP. And by “ASAP” I mean 10 months in advance!

It is my wish, that each individual become familiar with the name of the peoples whom originally occupied the land upon which we’ve chosen to make our home.
Within the (approx. 4200sq km) Sydney Dharug/Eora ‘country’, it was estimated on British arrival, there were around 3000-8000 inhabitants. Today, 30,000 of the 4,000,000 Sydney dwellers are Indigenous Australians. It is one of my dreams (albeit somewhat revolutionary); that the postage marks on the innumerable envelopes and parcels processed each day, carry not only the postcode of the town, but also the ‘Language Group’ name of the area. Imagine… How quickly we could become familiar with, and pay respect to the original occupants of our suburbs.
Here’s a crash course on Sydney blackfulla culture. The letters ‘gal’ ending each clan name represents ‘man’.
The men were the ones whom marked and defended territory and family, therefore it seemed appropriate to acknowledge the men as the primary territorial custodians. Imagine receiving your birthday card in the post and acknowledging that it came from your relative residing in Gladesville because it was postmarked 2111 (WALLEMEDEGAL COUNTRY) or your great Aunt from Mosman 2088 (BOROGEGAL), Fivedock 2046 (WANGAL), BOROMEDEGAL, GANNEMEGAL, GAHBROGAL, GAMEYGAL, GWEAGAL, GADIGAL, BIRRABIRRAGAL, GAYAMAYGAL, DARRAMURRAGAL, BEDIAGAL, BOOREBERONGAL or GAIMARIGAL.
Until this is learned, I don’t feel that we have achieved a ‘true’ welcome to country. My comment in these artworks you see before you is quite simply that, wherever you stand, drive or fly, you have entered Indigenous land. We have a responsibility to eradicate the tokenism and prostitution of Indigenous culture within this society.
We now must become serious in revitalising the remnant cultures and consequently reinstalling pride amongst those whom have become ostracized from either or both sides of the fence. Fellow observers of Fine Urban Indigenous Art, ask not “what percentage are you?” but… ”where’s your mob from?” And I guarantee you, the yarn up will begin there. I’d like to personally thank Walkabout Gallery for breaking away from ‘tradition’ in granting me the opportunity to voice my social comment through this exhibition ‘Hand Some Returns’. I sincerely hope, that many a gifted fellow Urban Koori, Murri, Barna, Magani, Yolngu, Tiwi, Nyoongarr, Yamadgee, Wongi, Anangu, Nunga, Kulin or Pallawa artist be granted the same luxury.

Food For Thought Toledo, Oregon, Ohio
|Recommend this Organization||Donate to this Organization|
Food For Thought's purpose is to be a gateway between poverty and prosperity. Food For Thought's mission is to serve those in various needs despite their position in order to develop relationships that aid in reconciliation and redemption. Food For Thought's vision is that everyone realize their worth through serving others.
Food for Thought is not about solving hunger... it is about building relationships! It is about feeding the hungry physically and spiritually. The number one enemy the homeless fight is loneliness. We are an organization of people who care about others and want to help those in need. We believe serving can change both those who are served and those who are serving. And we believe anyone can serve. More specifically, we provide brown bag lunches (prepared Friday nights at the church) to our friends on the streets of downtown Toledo near the main public library every Saturday morning at 10:30. We also operate a mobile food pantry, and a stationary food pantry located at our church partner, New Harvest Christian Church.
Organizational Statement of Faith
We operate out of a church, 95% of our board is comprised of Christians, at least 75% of our volunteers are Christians, and we conduct ourselves and our organization within guidelines and bylaws that fall well within a Christian worldview, but we do not have a statement of faith.

Even Nova Scotia's Christmas tree donation to the city of Boston is affected by COVID-19 this year, as the ceremony for the annual gift was held on Monday under pandemic restrictions.
The 45-foot white spruce represents the gratitude of the people of Nova Scotia to those of the American city for their support after the Halifax Explosion devastated the city on Dec. 6, 1917, resulting in the deaths of about 2,000 people and injuries to approximately 9,000 more.
Heather and Tony Sampson donated this year's tree, which is from Grande Anse, Richmond County.
"Nova Scotia will never forget those who were lost and injured as a result of the explosion, and the support from the people of Boston," Premier Stephen McNeil said in a news release. "This year's Tree for Boston is dedicated to health-care workers, honouring both the 1917 response and those taking care of us on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are thankful for the compassion and kindness shown in times of need."
The tree's journey is also being affected by the pandemic. Instead of the usual trucking route, it will be sent via a shipping container vessel. The tree will leave Halifax on Wednesday and be delivered to Boston Common in a few days.
Nova Scotians and Bostonians can take part in the celebrations by following the Tree for Boston on social media leading up to the one-hour virtual tree-lighting ceremony on Dec. 3 at 8 p.m., according to the provincial news release.
“The broadcast is expected to reach an audience of more than 200,000 viewers on WCVB Channel 5 Boston, and highlights the Celtic Colours International Festival featuring performances by the Barra MacNeils and Sarah and Elizabeth MacInnis with Jenny MacKenzie,” the news release said.

Fails Of The Week: Russell Simmons, Jesse Jackson Jr., Miguel And More
While Kendrick Lamar's reclining somewhere laughing at the mess he created this week, these folks stayed losing. From an offensive sex tape to a rapper de-planing, here are the week's epic fails.
Who: Russell Simmons
Fail: Co-signing the Harriet Tubman Sex Tape
Redemption: Russ later apologized for missing a “sensitivity chip,” but our eyeballs can’t un-see the simply unfunny visuals released by All Def Digital.

Listening to: Blank space
When this song first came out my impression was distinctly ‘meh.’
The tune didn’t pull me in, but a few months in I’m listening to it on repeat because I actually listened to the lyrics and realised this song is about me.
Like, here I’ll show you:
Oh my god, look at that face, you look like my next mistake – me
I can make the bad boys good for a weekend – me.
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they’ll tell you I’m insane
‘cos you know I love the players, and you love the game – me.
Cos darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream – much me, much wow.
I’m doing some fairly intense therapy at the moment so I’m loving playing introspective songs on repeat and crying. Even though Taylor denies the song was intended that way at all – she claims to have written it as a reaction to the person that the media are making her out to be. Apparently the media are making her out to be me. I’m so sorry Taylor. That is awful.
Watching: Girls season 3.
Girls is a show I have mixed feelings about. It was a show that appealed to me because the main character and I have laughably huge amount of things in common, we even look alike. Most of the things she does and says I can see myself doing and saying, and yes I realise that doesn’t reflect well on me. Then again the show’s appeal isn’t great on paper. I kept watching season 3 for continuity’s sake but I put it off for a while. Yet when I started, I couldn’t stop.
Are the characters supposed to sound that ridiculous, or is the acting just that bad? Is Lena Dunham confused about the direction this show is taking or actually brilliant? I believe it’s marketed as a kind of dark comedy but I end up laughing at parts where I’m not sure if you’re supposed to laugh. Some of the characters are so unappealing that I cringe whenever they’re on screen (ugh, Shoshanna.)
I’m going to go with Dunham being clever about the apparent confusion of the show because the more confused I get the more I’m compelled to watch. There’s so many much better blogs out there deconstructing Girls, but I’m probably coming back for season four and I’m not even sure why. Awww hell.
Youtubing – DBZ abridged episode 46.
I’ve mentioned Team Four Star before, the youtubers behind the Dragonball Z abridged series which I believe is a must-watch for fans of the show. And even if you’re not a fan, if you’ve ever watched an episode you could definitely appreciate why abridging is necessary. The series is so much more watchable with 20 minutes of ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH compressed into 20 seconds.
Even you’re not a dedicated watcher of DBZ this is one of the best abridged series out there, tied with LittleKuriboh’s Yu-gi-oh! Abridged series in my opinion. (incidentially LittleKuriboh is one of the voice contributors to Team Four Star.) They’re always funny but the latest episode is the first in a long time that had me laughing out loud all the way through.
Obsessed with: Being angry at everything
The ward has been a tense place over Christmas, with staff being short and all therapists being forced on leave. While my meds were being messed with my tolerance to life in general went down the toilet and every single human interaction caused me irritation. Now the wards have opened up and with my anxiolytic drugs being increased I find my tolerance increasing. Funny that.
Ugh, this book is really hard to get through. Surely it’s not just me?
For a final showdown type instalment not a whole lot happens really. Maybe it’s because my brain is all over the place at the moment but the story just isn’t engaging me at all. Katniss’s detachment from her surroundings has been a frustration for me throughout the series but this is taken to the extreme in Mockingjay. Heck for most of the action she isn’t even there. The narrative is only partially relayed back to her later.
Like, what happened to Peeta and Johanna when they were being held by the Capitol? Yes it’s talked about but only over a few cursory paragraphs. We’re never even told how exactly rescuing them went down except that it was too easy. And while Peeta takes a while to recover, Haymitch, Johanna and Finnick are mentioned to be struggling with PTSD like symptoms then when we see them they’re pretty much as they were in Catching Fire.
So many potentially interesting plot points are just never explored. I’m going to finish it though, I can’t help myself with books. I can’t make an exit halfway through no matter how hopeless it looks.
Hopefully the movie will improve this one for me.

THE CO2NTAX HEAT-CHEATS, WHOSE LIES CRACK IN COLD TRUTH
The mainstream media still ignores the world’s approach to cosmic cold, which may soon freeze Britain’s mild Atlantic gusts to a 17th Century chill.
In summer 2015, as cold Westerlies blew Autumn in early, UK “Silly Season” front pages were snowed up with #MiniIceAge headlines – briefly. Yet, without broadcast echoes, the story faded into the silence of the snow it foretold – never becoming a water-cooler talking point.
Even in the press, the chilly account of burgeoning low solar activity was filtered through the Met Office’s distorting lens – helping sustain the establishment’s alleged Man Made Global Warming, and thus government justification for taxing working people’s energy.
Did they hope that, by fitting the imminent cooling to the miscalculated, jargon-bloated warmist lie, they could regain “climategated” credibility – long lost by corrupt University of East Anglia email leaks, and failed, 2013 ice-melt predictions?
Did they want to regain the mantle of Noble Friends of Society and the Planet? They could be heroes, praised for great work in unprecedented, unpredictable conditions – their supposed sole understanding of which would enable them to say anything; and let their client governments tax carbon in any way: a clever way of disguising an extra success tax, since energy and work are so strongly linked.
Their coating a warm lie with frosty reality would shelter their wages from the cold winds of blogosphere truth, currently an uncomfortable draught for those on the NGO green gravy train – whose civilian tax payer sponsors now know that they, themselves, are paying for the falsehoods that they are told.
Like banks, Man Made Climate Change is too big to fail.
The sun isn’t listening.
For the fourth time this year, 2016, the solar disc has gone blank, creating new #MiniIceAge stories in three papers just this week – and matching the predictions of various scientists worldwide over the past ten years: ignored by the establishment, yet proved right by reality.
In 2012, St Petersberg-based Physicist Habibullo Abdussamatov published a paper predicting a new #MiniIceAge, caused by declining numbers of sunspots, with the coldest point around 2055, as a bicentennial reduction in solar irradiance of Earth sets off a cooling chain reaction, intensified by the seas’ continuing to radiate stored, 20th Century energy into space at the same, unreduced rate.
Mr Abdussamatov’s said: “Since the sun is approaching a bicentennial decrease of luminosity on the basis of observed accelerating drop in both the 11-year and bicentennial components of Total Solar Irradiance from the early 1990s, we can forecast its further decline similar to a so-called Maunder Minimum”
The Maunder Minimum was, of course, the name of the 1645-1715 Little Ice Age. He went on to predict “the 19th deep minimum of global temperature in the past 7500 years” for 2055, give or take 11 years.
He continued: “In the nearest future we will observe a transition (between global warming and global cooling) period of unstable climate changes with the global temperature fluctuating around its maximum value reached in 1998 to 2005. After the maximum of Solar Cycle 24, from approximately 2014 we can we can expect the start of the next bicentennial cycle of deep cooling with a Little Ice Age in 2055 plus or minus 11 years”.
In basic agreement are Terri Jackson, MPhil MInstP, the 2008 founder of The Energy Group at the Institute of Physics, London, and Professor Valentina Zharkova at the University of Northumbria, who both forecast dramatic cooling. Professor Zharkova described how two fluid wave effects on the sun will cancel each other out completely in the 2030s, greatly reducing the energy reaching Earth.
Terri Jackson – of Principia Scientific International – said the combined effect of bicentennial solar cooling, and sunspot-poor 11 year solar cycles, will mean a “rapid global temperature decline over the next few years, and until well into the 22nd Century.”
He confirmed that, “there will be no further global warming this century. Instead of worrying about global warming, governments should be preparing now for worldwide global cooling, and the fast approaching new ice age. Indeed, an unstoppable global cooling is in progress, which is not in any way connected with human causes.”
“Man Made Climate Change does not exist. The Russian Academy of Sciences said, in a recent release, that Man Made Global Warming is a myth. As far back as 1979, the US National Academy of Sciences rejected any mention of the so-called Greenhouse Effect! In a recent paper, the US NAS have said that it is the sun and ocean cycles that are the causes of climate change. Nobel prize winner in Physics, Ivar Giaever, in a recent conference in the US, reported in Scientific American magazine that Man Made Climate Change is ‘pseudoscience’ ”.
GREEN REAPER$ – AND THEIR “PROJECT FEAR”
But governments love the control afforded by the vogue zeitgeist of a secular, Green religion. It replaces the old, popular fear of God, which helped “fire and brimstone” authority control the population. Politically corrupted science lets governments make any claim that suits them, since many people think that they could never understand it. Yet they trust it, blindly, as a fashionable badge of their modernity and enlightenment.
Terri Jackson discusses the dishonest politics of the Man Made Climate Change movement: “As a branch of the UN, the IPCC is itself an intensely political, and not scientific, body. The IPCC charter requires that it investigate not climate change in the round, but solely global warming caused by humans (which is actually non-existent!). Faced with widespread propaganda aimed at public opinion and young persons, and strong lobbying from powerful self-interest groups, such as government research scientists, alternative energy providers and financial marketeers, politicians have had no choice but to fall into line. Politicians are mindful to assuage the green intimidation and bullying to which they are increasingly subjected.”
Even as trace CO2 has risen by ten percent to 0.04% of the atmosphere, the sun’s activity – and sunspot numbers – are declining: and driving a longterm cooling trend, as indicated by honest satellite data – the most accurate. This shows that rising CO2 levels do not make temperatures rise – at all. In truth, CO2 levels rise a set period AFTER past, sun-driven warming has taken place, when this gas is released by ocean water; so a CO2 rise is an effect of natural, past warming, and not a driver of future climate. Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” disguised this detail by using a tiny scale on a diagram.
The cold European winters of 2009–2011 came in the 11-year solar minimum, before the 2012-2013 max gave way to #MiniIceAge2014; giving us a taste of the frosty future, and showing climate variation in synch with solar cycles. In addition, since 2012, we have had growing icecaps, and falling seas, again as shown by satellite data.
NASA’s and the NOAA’s upwardly adjusting recent temperatures, and reducing old ones – brilliantly exposed by journalist Christopher Booker – is beaten for farce value only by the fact that Warmist climate models require a flat jetstream (the high altitude wind driving weather systems from West to East around the globe); and, presently, the early #MiniIceAge jetstream is forming 3,000 mile North-to-South bends – hence the much vaunted “extreme weather”, with hot and cold blasts to North and South, amidst overall cooling, as this meandering air-stream sinks SOUTH overall. Long range weather forecaster, WeatherAction.com, has predicted this since 2008, over which period – and no more so than in 2016 – its forecasts have come spectacularly true, on month- and year-based timescales.
WINTER WONDER BANNED
So, declining solar activity will soon make Christmases as white as cards: 17th Century cold will return to our near space-age world.
This should be headline news everywhere: an ultimate Autumn, followed by decades of “Frost Fayre” Christmases, is being chilled to life by a sleepy sun. We should be warning food producers; filling children with wonder, and students with fascination.
Yet, broadcasters continue stale, cynical global warming lies. They relay heat-cheating NASA’s inflated temp statistics. They present stories of isolated glacier recession, and local, undersea volcano-caused ice-melt, as signs of general warming – when the big picture is cooling.
Triggered by the sun – our romantic, myth-rich source of light and life – Earth’s cooling climate should be an incentive both for the tough to get going, and for a renaissance of consciousness: a new, cool enlightenment, fired by an awareness of our closeness to nature, and dependency on it – yet not a shabby excuse for fraudulent energy taxes, and for oppressing human wellbeing with needless guilt and foreboding.
MAKING WORLD WIDE WAVES
The power of mainstream media propaganda is choking in declining newspaper sales and TV channel multiplicity.
But alternative online media is a soaring revolution. Its originality is untrammelled by thought-recessive political correctness. The oxygen of openness drives it beyond the hamster-wheel drone of the BBC News Channel.
Real excitement lies in truth; which, distilled, is simple – thus intrinsically accessible and populist.
Here, in cyberspace, we can share Planet Earth’s imminent, deep-frozen drama. We can alert people to their own creative power – and their right not to pay energy tax twice.
FROM LAPLAND WITH LOVE!
Thankyou Sun, for shining heat and light and fun for so, so long:
you cooked the street’s pneumatic beat;
you blessed the coke, and loved the throng!
you scorched Ibiza’s nineties decks,
as Twentieth Century lovers kissed:
the planet’s pulse at solar max,
on febrile, shimmering, sultry mist.
Such galactic nuclear power –
which breathes the oak
from seed to tower –
doesn’t know or give a toss
what Al Gore says our fuel should cost.
Twentieth Century ice was melted
by the hyperactive sun:
not cars, nor trucks, nor gas emitted,
nor us, nor Bernie Ecclestone!
CO2 doesn’t warm the air –
and blaming it just isn’t fair!
Released by cars and warm conditions,
its levels grow with each ignition,
up and up – yet, now, temps fall,
as brilliant Helios sets to stall.
As the fiery orb gets tired,
turns down its dial,
and chills a while,
the Earth cools, too:
its glaciers grow,
and blizzards blow –
through schools of fools,
who sit and chat about the heat
– even as they lose their feet,
from record frost,
that scratches veins through glass and ice,
confounding myths of sweaty vice.
1645 was cold,
when shivers froze
the floods of old!
Decades died and winters grew,
with sunspots gone and summers too;
The Bank of Engand crept to life,
in frozen 1690s strife.
Now, round we come, the same again:
more summer lows and winter snow.
“You’re all to blame”, shout Warmist priests.
“We warned you of the Sooty Beast:
Until we steam in Hell (as planned)
Your life is cold – for summer’s damned!”
“…But this cold snap is just a trap,
while the arctic leaves the map –
melting into murky depths,
thus cooling flows that warmed the West:
changing weather patterns fast,
so ‘barbE’ summers never last!”
“You must”, they say, “pay carbon dues,
and sponsor windmills, built on cue –
for now, the answer’s blowing in”,
(as birds are smashed by blades that spin):
power comes from ghostly towers –
unless it’s calm for several hours,
while UNocrats debate the fate
of the world they didn’t make –
“whatever happens, it’s CO2:
it’s from your car – and so from you!”
They want your taxes – and your fear:
more and more of them, each year.
They’ve spun a yarn of humid sweat:
full of guilt and wretched sorrow.
“Now? The freeze – but soon the heat,
coming: ‘The Day After Tomorrow’…”
We knew extremist vicars quit
when they outlawed burning witches;
now carbon exorcists get hits
with oppressive science fiction.
Ignore their piffle and rejoice!
We’re Walking on the Earth tonight!
See history made, as ‘Arctic blasts’
whisper bicentennial flight,
of Nordic flakes, to drifts that last,
like myriad sparkling Christmas lights;
which lift the soul,
to twist and soar
through Solar Cycle Twenty Four;
which fly the flag for windblown white —
and heated soup and howling nights!
The Sun will chill for many years –
half a lifetime, it appears!
So sod the cheats who want your cash
to fund their G8 climate bash –
their pamplets as from brothers grim:
fraud, through fantasies of sin,
from Western witchdoctors,
to blackmail people to succeed;
to make us all believe
in blame and debt, and more regret –
that we be cowed
to pay and bow:
and never try to fathom how
a gas which once ruled frozen Earth
can now purvey a steaming curse.
Ski the freezing, drifting dream:
a small ice age starts now, it seems!
Fetch your coat and scarf and sledge!
Dance with huskies’ bright eyed fun!
Sparkling frost for years is pledged –
diamond holograms to stun!
We’ll rejoice in Helios’ lore,
and surf the snow and live the show,
of Solar Cycle Twenty Four —
go go go GO!!!

"The Spanish government must be transparent about what happened"
The Spanish authorities say two factors caused the accident: the coastguards’ boat suffered a mechanical failure and the driver of the immigrants’ boat made a reckless manoeuvre. But in the video we can’t see any reckless manoeuvres. It looks like the boat stopped. From looking at the video, it can’t be concluded that the immigrants’ boat made the collision “inevitable”. In this respect, the official version of events is questionable.At the moment, we do not know if the coastguards’ boat suffered a mechanical failure and, if indeed it did, how this affected the boat’s behaviour. Nevertheless, what is certain is that the Spanish authorities must come up with some more explanations, in light of what this video shows. If the authorities state that the incident was not premeditated, it must exercise complete transparency and prove it.“It’s a big issue that those who were rescued, the only witnesses, were immediately expelled from the country”In addition, in a case like this one, it’s a big issue that the authorities decided to send the 17 immigrants who were rescued back to Morocco, given they are the accident’s key witnesses. They were ordered back two weeks after they arrived, which is particularly fast compared to the normal time it takes to send back illegal immigrants [Editor’s note: the maximum period of detention for illegal immigrants is 60 days]. They must be allowed back to Spain to testify in the investigation.This is a tragic story, but it’s one among many problems in Spain. Human rights organisations regularly condemn violations of immigrants’ rights, such as arbitrary identity checks, poor conditions in detention centres, expulsion of those without identity papers [Editor’s note: before their nationality has been established by the authorities], all of which amount to a violation of international law.Generally speaking, migrants need to be treated as humans. Dealing with the question only as a security issue is not the solution.

Keeping up with Digital Marketing Trends
A hot topic at a good many seminars, webinars and business conference get-togethers is always ‘how on Earth do we possibly keep pace with all the many new trends, platforms, and technologies that are constantly evolving in the world of digital marketing?’
Taking this dilemma in its literal sense, let’s first look at how to discover just what is changing in digital marketing circles and keep monitoring the news for fresh, exciting developments.
LinkedIn Pulse: LinkedIn Pulse is a great tool that allows you to set up various topics, publications and influences. By checking the latest hits several times daily you’ll soon be on top of the latest trends in digital marketing if you’ve set it up correctly.
Google and Twitter: Google News can be set to 24 hours and filtered for such terms as ‘social advertising’ or ‘digital marketing’ and ‘online marketing’, while you can get to grips with the relevant Twitter hashtags and follow them on a daily basis.
Techmeme: This is a great little aggregator site that will keep you abreast of the latest industry changes.
Nuzzel: Nuzzel is a superb mobile app that serves as an appendage to either Twitter or Facebook or both, and should appeal to everyone embracing mobile browsing. All you will need to do is open up the app each day and you’ll be privy to which articles are receiving the most shares. So assuming you follow the right accounts you’ll cut straight to the good stuff!
Feedly: Here’s one that would be familiar to all my fellow freelance writers. It’s a fabulous tool that allows you to search for relevant blogs and follow their updates and content. Providing you enter parameters that are accurate and relevant it’s another excellent way of filtering your daily or weekly reading on digital marketing trends.
Buffer: Another social media related tool, Buffer is unique to the others in that it comes in handy in terms of sharing. It’s a mobile and desktop suitable app that basically facilitates the connection of multiple social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. and you can set it up to schedule posts. So this is a fantastic tool that will allow you to reflect your news across multiple channels without fuss and quickly, offering consistency to your social media. Your customers will feel like there is someone tangible behind your brand, keeping in touch.
With all these amazing tools you will be well on the way to setting up a system that allows you to keep on top of all the constant changes in the world of digital marketing. In case you’d like some guidance as to areas in which changes are predicted to happen to help create some criteria to search for, here are a few basic ideas.
- Snapchat: advertising with a short shelf life. Creating self-detonating ads that exist in the form of video teasers for mere seconds, will become massive
- Identity based PPC marketing (targeting users based on emails or phone numbers)
- Using Instagram to advertise

SINGAPORE – In divorce cases where a party is allowed to take over the other's share of marriage property, who should carry current mortgage and property tax payments until the transfer is completed?
The Court of First Instance clarified the question on Thursday, November 8, to reject a wife's argument that she would not have to pay exclusively the current debts – about $ 30,000 – for a $ 1.78 million home that she would ultimately own.
Mortgage payments should be borne by the final owner of the property, said the triumph court, considering that the payment of any outstanding mortgage loan would only benefit that person.
However, the court ruled that it was important to distinguish between mortgage and property tax, which are charges levied on property rights to the property.
Therefore, property tax should be paid by who is considered the owner of the property as at the day of the court order, the court said in a verdict written by the judge of appeal Andrew Phang.
In the judgment, the court, which also included Judge Appellant Steven Chong and Senator Chao Hick Tin, pointed out that these are only fine facie positions – correct until proven otherwise.
It was still open to the courts when they made decisions about such cases to take an opposite position if an appropriate situation arose, for example, if it would be unfair to order the final owner to bear the current liabilities.
The ruling of the court occurred in a case where a woman had agreed to buy her husband's share of the marriage home for $ 377 684.
She appealed to a High Court order that she was solely responsible for mortgage and property tax payments in anticipation of the transfer.
In her judgment, the court of appeal rejected the wife's argument that she had not actually received any benefit because the value of the property had fallen from $ 1.78 million to $ 1.73 million.
By taking up the opportunity to take over the spouse's share of the property, she had shown that there was a real chance that the value of the property would fall, the court said.
"Thus, in our opinion, it is not relevant if the wife has actually made a profit or loss after the transfer has ended."
The Supreme Court ruled that the wife is both the final owner and the ideal owner, as she confirmed during two hearings before the High Court in 2017 that she would take up the opportunity to buy her husband's share of the property.
There were no special circumstances to shift the prima facie position that she must carry mortgage and property tax payments, the court said.

Have A Beer With Your Best Friend – Busch Introduces Beer For Dogs
Today is 'International Dog Day' - if you would like to celebrate with a beer do it, and grab one for your dog while you are at it.
Busch is now selling a beer for your dog(s), called Dog Brew. The beer is sold in 4-packs, for only $9.99. Busch will donate one dollar to Best Friends Animal Society (a no kill animal shelter) for every case of Dog Brew purchased up to $50,000 dollars.
If you are thinking about trying a Dog Brew yourself - it is not a true beer. Alcohol and hops are toxic for dogs. This beverage is crafted specifically for dogs, with the following ingredients,
- Bone-in pork butt
- Whole corn
Still want to try one? Me either. I think dogs would love it. After a long day on the job, just picture yourself and your dog, enjoying an ice cold beer together. You can serve your dog a bowl of Dog Brew straight up, or over food.
Dog Brew is not sold in stores, online orders only - and it does ship all over the United States. This pooch hooch has been such a hot selling item, plan on at least a 5 week shipping delay.
I do not have a dog of my own, but I have plenty of friends with dogs. I am going to order a few 4-packs today to share with some of my special dog friends. Looks like I will be throwing one hell of a doggone party next month when my shipment arrives. Cheers to you and your little dog too.

This follows a series of pieces Amanda is writing about her gardening journey
We asked Amanda how things were going in her garden. She had stumbled into a whole new world of gardening in seed swapping. We had to ask more and she delivered.
An Ode to Seeds
While building my garden, I have developed a fascination with seeds. I mean all seeds, from rare heirloom crops to maple tree “helicopters”.
Every seed is capable of performing small miracles. Each one can transform from an inert object to the growing seedling. And then it evolves somehow into something actually harvestable. Then I come in and enjoy the end result of their and my labor, the most rewarding part of my hobby.
A Seed Obsession Dilemma
But how to get access to more seeds? I would, and still do, spend hours perusing online seed shops. I fill my cart up with a $1.50 packet there and $0.75 packets there. Suddenly my cart is full of hundreds of dollars of product that I cannot bear to whittle down. So, I delete my haul, only to do it again days later.
One day recently while trying to rip bindweed out of my pollinator garden, I discovered many of my early wildflowers had started fading. But some very busy pollinators had visited them and were producing…seeds! I had my own source of seeds!
With my garden shears in hand, I spent an hour outside gleefully lopping off dry seed heads and pods. My mind racing with this new discovery, I found myself asking how to harvest more varieties.
Trying to Find More Seeds
My garden only had so many types of flowers. My food crop was small enough I was reluctant to do anything but eat what I had grown.
Could I collect seed pods from parks and nature preserves? No, my state’s laws do not allow it, and besides, I would feel bad for reducing the population in that area next year. What was a budding seed collector to do?
A Solution! Seed Swapping!
After a few questions on a neighborhood gardening page on Facebook, and I had my answer: seed swapping. In fact, there is an entire underground bartering-based economy out there to explore.
The concept is deceptively simple. You have seeds. I have seeds. We chat, and swap.
But there are complexities to it, as there are in any economy. I discovered that few people share my excitement for coriander, but that there is a rush for Larkspur flowers.
I have already received Candy Stripe Cosmos, Showy Primrose, Bishop’s Flower, African Marigold, and blue Morning Glory seeds in return. I have another swap set for later in the season for Milkweed and Chicory once they go to seed.
Did you know that coriander and cilantro are the same plant?
How cool is that!
Wisdom for Budding Seed Collectors
This is an excellent way to explore new plants and crops you had not considered or were reluctant to spend money on, whether you are a new gardener or a seasoned professional. Inventory what is around you- even in cities, there are plants living out their lives in sidewalk cracks, empty lots, and playgrounds that you can harvest.
Collect seeds from your grocery store produce. Knock on your neighbor’s door and ask them if you can have some seeds from their plants. Or take them from your own established garden as I have.
Be honest with people about their sources. Know your USDA Plant hardiness zones. Do your research on the rules of harvesting on public land, and always ask before harvesting on private land. Make sure you know what you’re harvesting.
Have fun. Get seeds.

I just received a wonderful addition to the raffle table, from gDiapers!
Included in this raffle:
2 little gPants in size Small: 8-14 lbs (1 black and 1 galactic blue)
6 gCloth inserts in size Small
These diapers are a hybrid type cloth diaper-- the outer shell, which is made out of cotton with a snap-in liner made of polyester, can hold either a biodegradable gRefills OR the gCloth inserts. The gCloth inserts are made out of 2 layers of micro-fiber fleece and 2 layers of a cotton and hemp mix. Put either side against baby's bottom! There are also no folding with these liners-- once washed, they are ready to set inside the snap-in liner. So easy! What I like about gDiapers is the velcro on the BACK of the diaper...no toddler hands easily pulling these off!
gDiapers are breathable, trim, super absorbent, fashionable (SO CUTE!), easy, contain no plastics, latex, or chlorine.
$1 per ticket-- half donated towards The Real Diaper Association and half towards the Upper Peninsula Children's Museum.
Thank you gDiapers for this fabulous opportunity for someone to try these diapers. They also included $2 OFF coupons for the goodie bags.

Continuing the theme of extensions of liability "beyond privity," here is an intriguing recent case on the extended liability of public utilities. It is hard to imagine that ConEd will be found liable to anyone for the problems involved in this case. But if it is liable to the property owners who contract with the utility, where is the logic in denying damage claims to the parties really injured - the tenants of those property owners? The logic appears to be that "society" (or at least that part of it consisting of ConEd stockholders) can't afford such liability. Or is there some other ground? Ed.
LANDLORD/TENANT; TENANT'S REMEDIES; RIGHTS AGAINST THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS: A regulated utility does not owe a duty of care to commercial tenants who do not have service contracts with utility but are obligated under their leases to reimburse their landlords for a portion of the electricity costs. Millikenn & Co. v. Consolidated Edison Co., 619 N.Y.S.2d 686 (App. Div. 1994).
In this case, due to a watermain break a power substation was flooded, knocking power to the New York Garment District during "buyers' week." Class actions agains the utility were brought on behalf of all of the utilities' customers. This action addresses only the separate class of "non-contractual users" - but includes everyone commercially injured by the blackout who has a proprietary interest in a lease or business located on premises served by the utility.
The court held that to permit suits by parties in the position of plaintiffs would expose the utility to too broad a class of claimants. It admitted that its decision was based almost entirely on policy grounds, with the ultimate concern to be "to fix the entity's orbit of duty so as to limit the legal consequences of wrongs to a controllable degree."
Note: The court did not differentiate, because the plaintiffs apparently did not differentiate, between the tenants who paid "additional rent" that directly reflected aliquot electric usage of their premises, and tenants who paid "undifferentiated rent" (which, of course, would have taken utility costs into account in any event.)
Drafting Tip: If the ultimate case is resolved in favor of the landlords, so that there is clear precedent for claims against utilities for service blackouts, then tenants with sufficient bargaining strenghth might bargain for a pro rata assignment in the lease of contract claims the landlord has against the utility.

As should have been expected, Charlie Sheen isn’t happy with the way “Two and a Half Men” ended. TMZ caught up with the former star to get his thoughts — which included a choice expletive — but that’s not the real story.
In the short video, Sheen is out at a Los Angeles mall with a group of friends that happens to include actor Darius McCrary. For those that remember, McCrary starred as Eddie Winslow on “Family Matters” from 1989-97.
Since that series ended, McCrary has appeared on a number of shows, including “Moesha” and “Cold Case.” He was also in the cast of “The Young and The Restless” between 2009 and 2011, reuniting with “Family Matters” co-star Bryton McClure — who played Little Richie.
As for his Sheen connection, McCrary had a recurring role as Donovan on FX’s “Anger Management.” That show may be over, but at least he’s found a friend in Sheen at the end of it.

The government departments concerned face difficulties in confiscating wealth of high-profile individuals convicted of graft in accordance with the court orders as there is no specific guideline on management of confiscated immovable property.
Despite a large number of confiscation orders handed down by the special courts dealing with graft cases, lack of specific information about which property to be confiscated and what to do afterwards is causing difficulties.
The special courts have so far ordered confiscation of property worth about Tk 500 crore.
Giasuddin Al Mamun tops the list with his property worth Tk 111 crore to be confiscated. The lowest confiscation verdict was handed down on Titas gas official Shahid Mia as the court ordered to confiscate his cellphone.
The Office of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) concerned is responsible for confiscating the property under its jurisdiction, according to the court orders.
Sources in Dhaka DC office say they have made a little headway with the seizure thanks to lack of specific information in court orders and absence of instructions regarding management of the attached property.
The sources said they sought assistance from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), National Board of Revenue (NBR) and public prosecutors (PP) in the special courts to have specific information and guidelines.
The ten special courts set up at the MP Hostel in National Parliament Complex by military-backed caretaker government have so far handed down punishment in 105 graft cases filed mostly by ACC and NBR.
The government has meanwhile taken initiatives to issue an ordinance regarding management of confiscated immovable property, sources say.
The government has initiated the move after the law ministry held separate meetings with the DC offices. Management of confiscated immovable property might be included and specified in the Abandoned Property Act, the sources add.
"In cases of movable property like gold or money, we've made the confiscation and deposited those to the government exchequer. But we don't understand what to do with immovable property like houses, business centres, or land as the DC office is not responsible for its management," says an official in Dhaka DC office asking not to be identified.
The official adds: "The DC office can't run business after confiscating a business centre. What will we do with that? And we have stopped confiscating immovable property. Who will be responsible if any loss is occurred to the confiscated property and the convicted finally secure order through appeal from higher courts to get their property back?"
The new ordinance being formulated for management of immovable property will entrust four ministries with the task of confiscation under four categories. The home ministry will be tasked with management of confiscated houses, the industries ministry with confiscated industries, the land ministry with land and the commerce ministry with business centres.
The Dhaka DC office has already confiscated a number of houses, flats and business centres of some high-profile graft convicts. The confiscated property is now under police watch with businesses halted or tenants removed from the flats and houses, sources say.
Once management is entrusted to some authorities, the concerned departments can let the flats or houses or run the business centres. The money earned through these will be deposited to the government coffers till disposal of the last appeal by the convicted.
If the convicts finally win the appeal, the property and the money earned so far will be returned to them, the sources add.
"All the verdicts made by the special courts can be challenged or appealed against. So the money confiscated so far is being deposited to a code so that it can be returned to the convicted once he/she wins the appeal," says a DC office official.
"If the government ultimately wins, the confiscated property will be transferred to another code and become non-returnable."
Confiscated gold is also being kept in the government treasury under the same condition, the sources say.
The DC office in Dhaka has so far confiscated nine tolahs of gold from Nasima Huq, wife of former LGRD state minister Ziaul Huq Zia, who was tried in absentia.
In two other verdicts the special courts ordered to confiscate 470 tolahs of gold. Of the gold, 200 tolahs belong to BNP ward commissioner Monwar Hossain Dipjol and the rest to Mohsen Ara Ghani, wife of former chief conservator of forest Osman Ghani.
But the orders have yet to be implemented.
An estimate says the Dhaka DC office has received copies of 53 verdicts and has nothing to do with 18 of those. Of the rest, two flats in Moghbazar and Shegun Bagicha owned by Isratunnesa, wife of Obaidul Qader, have been confiscated.
The DC office has also confiscated one-third of a tin-shed house on 0.27 acre of land in Shyampur owned by former BNP lawmaker Salahuddin Ahmed's son Shahriar Ahmed. The office, however, could not confiscate his other property for lack of specific information.
The property confiscated in Dhaka so far includes Royal Filling Station in Mohakhali of Ziaul Huq Zia's son Mashfiqul Haque, two plots in Bashundhara of former state minister for power Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, two flats including one in Gulshan-2 of former BNP lawmaker Manjurul Ahsan Munshi, over Tk 63.91 lakh of former communications minister Nazmul Huda, and over Tk 61,000 of former PSC member Mahfuzur Rahman.
While confiscating Tk 1 crore from former state minister Salahuddin Ahmed's account with the National Commerce and Credit Bank, the officials found there was no money. GQ Ballpen provided the money on behalf of the former minister.
The car belonging to National Tea Company that Harris Chowdhury used through misuse of power was confiscated and returned to the owner.
More property of Mahfuzur Rahman is supposed to be confiscated in Nilphamari, Mymensingh and Gazipur.
There is more immovable property of Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, Munsi, Nasima Huq, Shahriar Ahmed and Mashfiqul Haque still to be confiscated.
The DC office in Dhaka has also sought a specific list of property to be confiscated from Doctors Association of Bangladesh (DAB) leader Dr Zahid.
The officials also could not confiscate Tk 2.4 crore taken by Nazmul Huda as bribe as the court order has not mentioned from where to get the sum. Besides, the car owned by former lawmaker Shahjahan Chowdhury could not be attached as its whereabouts are unknown.
The officials have also refrained from confiscating two houses of former Awami League lawmaker Abul Hasnat Abdullah in Kalabagan as they don't have instructions regarding management of the houses.
Moreover, the property of former state minister Mir Mohammad Nasir Uddin and his son Mir Helal, Dr Mahiuddin Khan Alamgir, former secretary ANH Akter Hossain, Ali Asgar Lobi and his wife Khushnur Asgar, Shamsun Nahar, Imran Ahmed, ATM Sarwar Hossain, Afroza Abbas, Monwar Hossain Dipjol and his wife Romana Monwar, Ziaul Huq Zia, Rabeya Haider and authorised officer of Rajuk Mozaffar Uddin cannot be confiscated due to lack of information.
The DC office has sent letters to confiscate Tk 4.92 crore of Hafiz Ibrahim deposited to different banks in the capital and Bhola. The office has also sent letters to banks for confiscating his wife Mafroz Sultana's over Tk 7.88 crore.
The DC office has also completed all preparations to confiscate movable property of the Hafiz couple and would complete the job as soon as the ordinance is promulgated.

Google’s original motto, “Don’t be evil”, hasn’t exactly seemed to be at the forefront of their minds the past few years. After privacy concerns were raised in 2009, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said, “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” This sort of “the innocent don’t need privacy” argument has been used to erode the rights of individuals for far too long, and it was disappointing to see Google using it.
He also stated, in 2010, that “true transparency and no anonymity” was the way forward for the internet. Obviously, we don’t agree.
However, events of late suggest that Google are trying to re-align themselves with what’s right in terms of the privacy of web users.
Last week, the company filed its formal opposition to a federal criminal procedure change that would let judges issue warrants for remote hacking and surveillance, even for areas outside their judicial districts, including in foreign countries.
As well as stating that the issue would be better addressed by Congress, Google lawyer Richard Salgado stated that, “the proposed change threatens to undermine the privacy rights and computer security of Internet users”.
Although federal judges have allowed such tactics in the past, most judges have rejected the actions on Fourth Amendment grounds. To allow these sorts of tactics across the board would constitute an incredible blow to worldwide online privacy.
So are Google really changing their colours? The cynics amongst us might claim that the change could negatively affect Google and their working practices, hence their interest now. Yet regardless of their reasoning, it’s good to have the weight of such a huge company pushing back against the government in a matter like this.
Time will tell how things play out.

Giants 10, Rockies 5
On a day Bonds sat out of the lineup, Feliz found his stroke.
Pinch-hitter Damon Minor singled home the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning. The Giants won three of four and sent Colorado to its fifth series loss at Coors Field this season.
Feliz hit a solo homer in the eighth and a two-run homer in the ninth for his 10th and 11th homers of the year. He had his third career multihomer game and second this season.
“I made an adjustment,” said Feliz, who went 0-for-5 and stranded eight runners hitting behind Bonds in Saturday’s 11-2 loss. “I was trying to do too much. I was more patient the last few at-bats. I feel very good.”
It was Denver’s hottest June 7 ever—breaking a 130-year-old record. The temperature at first pitch was 93 degrees and it quickly climbed to 98.
That was one of the reasons Bonds didn’t start for the Giants, though he did draw an intentional walk as a pinch-hitter in the seventh. He played the first three games of the series in left field, including Sunday’s day game that followed a night game, something he rarely did last year.
The six-time NL MVP has 674 career homers and 16 this season heading into interleague play. The Giants conclude their season-long 14-game road trip with three games each at Tampa Bay and Baltimore.
“The toughest part is over. I’m not talking team wise, I’m talking four-game series,” Alou said, referring also to a four-game set at Arizona that kicked off the trip. “It’s very tough to play four games in the same place. Nobody likes four-game sets.”
Alou was happy to hear Devil Rays manager Lou Piniella plans to pitch to Bonds—unless it’s “a game-winning situation in the late innings,” Piniella said.
Bonds will be the designated hitter in the upcoming games, but there’s a chance he will return to the Bay area later this week for a day to attend the funeral of the mother of one of his closest childhood friends. He said after the game he didn’t know what his schedule will be, but he was headed out on the team charter to Florida.
Jim Brower (3-3) pitched the sixth as four relievers combined for four hitless innings. San Francisco beat the Rockies for the sixth time in seven games this year.
“It was a tough series in Arizona,” Brower said of the Giants’ three losses. “The hitters came up huge today. We struggled as a bullpen until today.”
Colorado’s Jeromy Burnitz hit a tying, two-run homer in the third to make it 5-all, his 16th this season.
“This is a crazy ballpark,” Tomko said. “I’ve seen a whole bunch of guys give up eight runs and the team still wins.”
Aaron Miles doubled twice and singled for the Rockies, who open interleague play Tuesday with their first appearance at Yankee Stadium.
Estes plunked Michael Tucker with the first pitch of the game. A day earlier, Reed was ejected in the eighth inning for arguing a hit batter call.
On Sunday, A.J. Pierzynski leaned his right elbow into a pitch with the bases loaded. Reed argued that Pierzynski didn’t try to get out of the way. Manager Clint Hurdle had to restrain Reed, who said plate umpire Bruce Dreckman swore at him repeatedly and then immediately tossed the pitcher.
On Monday, both Hurdle and Alou came out to speak to the same umpire crew after Estes hit Tucker. Both benches were warned, then Tomko knocked down Todd Helton in the third and Brower later plunked Kit Pellow.
“It doesn’t do any good to talk to the umpires,” Hurdle said. “Theyaren’t going to change anything. Nothing happened.”
Giants CF Marquis Grissom missed his third straight game with a stomach problem that has been bothering him since the team’s trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to play the Expos two weeks ago. Grissom saw a doctor before the game. Trainer Stan Conte said Grissom has intestinal irritation but is expected to play Tuesday. “I’m all right,” Grissom said. … The Rockies placed LHP Brian Fuentes on the 15-day DL with a strained back muscle and purchased the contract of RHP Marc Kroon from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Kroon made his Rockies debut in the eighth, his first major league appearance since June 15, 1998, while playing for Cincinnati. … The Giants had 15 hits, a day after matching theirseason-high with 16.

For the last 15 years or so, I’ve been a big fan of rubric grading. I got the bug after reading a column by my colleague Robert Runte in our faculty association newsletter. Over the years, I’ve developed a variety of different rubrics, several of which have been adopted and adapted by my own colleagues (see here and here). Read the rest of this entry »
Apparently in 1917 people had a different view of the centrality of English professors…
When we consider our educational position, we teachers of English composition are in a fair way to become conceited. In view of certain featuresof our daily experiencethe dangerof becoming conceited may not seem imminent. But the outstanding feature of our position among pedagogues surely spells danger in that very direction. The practically universal assumption that our work is educationally indispensable is truly ominous (William Hawley Davis. 1917. “The Teaching of English Composition: Its Present Status.” The English Journal 6 (5) (May 1): 285–294. doi:10.2307/801590).
Based on a review of “500 quasi-experimental studies of writing instruction between 1963 and 1983” concentrating on those with strong research design.
16th Century France – de Montaigne develops what we call the essay, a group of works defined by critical thinking and their attempt at questioning.
16-18th Century Britain (Extends to 19th Century America) – Theme Writing – A type of writing giving explicit instructions for the formulation of an argument on a specific theme with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
1870-1920 – Current Traditionalism – A period of study that was characterized by a favouring of rules and regulation, especially in teaching methods, and resulting in increasingly standardized methods of assessment, often using versions of the five paragraph essay.
20th Century Germany – Essays are used as a tool to grade students on their understanding of a topic, in a form similar to what we would term short research papers.
Mid 20th Century – Standardized testing emerges across the Western world as an easily regulated method of assessment. Rather than teaching the skills that the tests measure, instructors begin a shift towards teaching students how to write from the standardized formula on the test.
Mid 20th Century to Present Day – Five Paragraph Essays have virtually replaced the open form of Montaigne’s origin. They are taught as the base on which to build an argument throughout a student’s school years, a process which most often carries over to secondary education. They have moved from being an assessment of knowledge to an assessment of writing.

We all deal with sink and drain clogs at some point, but many of us put the problem on the backburner until we’re taking a bath in the shower or the sink is so stopped up that washing your hands nearly floods the bathroom.
Tackling the problem early on can save you money in the long-run, but taking steps to prevent clogs in the first place will save you frustration. Here are four tips to help keep your drains clean and clog-free.
1. Avoid Pouring Grease Down the Drain
Grease is the enemy of your home’s pipes. Have you ever left bacon grease or coconut oil on the counter? What happens when the oil cools? It congeals, or becomes a solid. The same thing happens when the oil makes its way down your pipes.
You may pour hot bacon grease down the drain, but eventually, that grease will cool and solidify in your pipes. Before you know it, you have a build-up of grease and grime that creates a clog in your kitchen sink.
Instead of pouring oil and grease down the drain, toss it in the trash. Some people choose to save bacon grease in a coffee can or container for later use.

The Haitian Art Project
The Friends of Haverford Township Free Library invite you to a Haitian art show and fundraising event. Original Haitian paintings and metal art are now available for your viewing and purchase and will be up through March. These pieces have been in the collection of a local art dealer/collector - Frank Giannetta. Mr. Giannetta has travelled to Haiti extensively since 1975 and has accumulated a large number of pieces from notable Haitian artists. This collection is now open to the public. All profits will be shared by the Friends and Doctors Without Borders - an international nongovernmental organization working in Haiti to save lives. We have 100 paintings on display for your viewing pleasure and purchase. The New Yorker magazine dated January 25, 2010 has on its front page a remarkable painting by Frantz Zephirin, one of Haiti's most admired and successful artists. We are very proud to have several of his works in our show. Your purchase benefits you by enhancing your personal life and home by having an original piece of Haitian art, aiding the library in this time of severe budgetary cuts and by providing funds to Doctors Without Borders in their quest to provide life saving medical attention to the earthquake victims of Haiti. Art purchases may be made by either cash or check payable to “The Friends of Haverford Township Free Library”. Doctors Without Borders (www.doctorswithoutborders.org) is one of the leading nongovernmental organizations [NGOs} now working to save Haitian lives. Charity Navigator is an online guide to intelligent gifting - www.charitynavigator.org - and has given Doctors their highest rating of 4 stars. In 1999, Doctors Without Borders were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Friends are a 501C nonprofit group whose mission is to raise funds and to be an advocate for the library. The library's budget has been pared and requires supplemental funding, relying on our fundraising activities. Show hours are the same as the library's: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 10 AM - 9 PM Thursday 10 AM - 6 PM Friday 1 PM - 5 PM Saturday 10 AM - 2 PM Sunday 1 PM - 5 PM If you wish to contact the Project Manager of The Haitian Art Project, please email Richard Romejko @ rpromejko (at) verizon.net .

Though a few guidelines for cardio workouts are given and some special attention paid for those brand new to running, most of the focus regarding endurance and cardio workouts is on what to eat before, during and after them. See the end of the post for a sample recipe. My favorite part of Thrive Fitness, though, is what makes it unique in a sea of other fitness books—the focus on energy, sleep, stress, and non-physical benefits of exercise, such as creativity, active meditation, and the effects of endorphins. I found that reading about these added perks, rather than the standard fat-loss, muscle-gain fare of other exercise books, motivated me more than anything has in a while to hit the gym or to get out for a run. So would I recommend Thrive Fitness?

How can you be sure that you are receiving the nutrients you need? Thrive Foods also features nutritionally complete, easy-to-make recipes that utilize the power of super- foods such as maca, chia, hemp, and chlorella, and that avoid common allergens, such as wheat, yeast, gluten, soy, dairy, and corn. Putting information into clear and relatable terms, he effectively illustrates the easiest, most immediate, and dramatic form of activism we can all participate in: choosing our food.
A must read. As Brendan Brazier so convincingly shows, a plant-based diet is better for the planet and better for human health. His wonderfully inventive vegan recipes give us food that is both nutritious and inviting. As one of the few professional athletes on a plant-based diet, Brendan Brazier researched and developed this easy-to-follow program to enhance his performance as an elite endurance competitor.
Brazier clearly describes the benefits of nutrient-rich foods in their natural state versus processed foods, and how to choose nutritionally efficient, stress-busting whole foods for maximum energy and health. Barnard, M.
I have noticed increased energy and more restful sleep. Colin Campbell, Ph.
More While racing ironman triathlons professionally, Brendan developed a plant-based smoothie formula, that, over the course of a decade, morphed into what would become Vega One. All organic, plant-based, made of whole foods, and delivered to your door, anywhere within the continental United States. Consisting of over 40 videos, meal plans, and recipes, it has become the go-to resource for beginners and elite athletes alike. Synching with an activity tracker, it tells the user what and when to eat and drink before, durning and after exercise to optimally fuel for peak performance and expedited recovery.
Brendan Brazier's Thrive
At the onset of eating, we begin spending digestive resources in an effort to convert energy stored within food—also known as calories—into usable sustenance to fulfill our biological requirements. And, as we know, whenever energy is transferred from one form to another, theres an inherent loss. However, the amount of energy lost in this process varies greatly and depends on the foods eaten. If there were such a calorie guarantee, people who subsisted on fast food and other such calorie-laden fare would have abundant energy. And of course they dont. This is a testament to the inordinate amount of digestive energy required to convert such food into usable fuel. By the way, its no coincidence that the cultures that have their largest, heaviest meals for lunch are the same ones who have afternoon siestas.
First, there is a disproportionate number of them; that is, the percentage of well-known endurance athletes who are vegetarian is much higher than the percentage of vegetarians in the general population. Brendan Brazier is one such example. Thanks Kelly! See my later complete review of Thrive, with sample recipes here. According to the intro, this way of eating can reduce stress levels by 40 percent! When I think about this stuff, I become completely inspired by this vision of myself taking in only the food that energizes me and totally supports an active lifestyle. Lots of raw food, almost no dairy, little or no alcohol and caffeine.

"Deflect" and "stop" are two very different actions. A mere twig will deflect a rifle bullet but won't stop it. It doesn't take much to deflect, or change the course of, a bullet
In Africa I had a twig deflect my .338 Swift A-Frame bullet, missing my trophy bull. The twig was close to me, if it were close to the target it wouldn't have mattered as much. If the twig were on the target it wouldn't have mattered period. Deflections happen all the time, especially so if you do not see the object in the way.

Advocates give final push to protect river herring
The countdown is on to the final vote by the New England Fishery Management Council (NEFMC) regarding river herring.
It’s been a long process, said Paul Earnshaw, president of the Buckeye Brook Coalition and member of the River Herring Alliance. Earnshaw said they’ve been leading up to this vote for roughly three years, collecting data, monitoring herring stocks and pleading with the council to take action.
Now, on June 20, after months of hearing public comments, the NEFMC will make their final vote on whether or not to take steps to protect dwindling river herring stocks.
On Monday, the Conservation Law Foundation sent an email urging supporters to email their state’s governor and NEFMC members to urge them to implement stronger river herring protection regulations.
The email outlined the following as crucial elements to the herring’s survival: “Immediate implementation of a river herring catch cap to control the catch of these critical forage species; 100 percent at-sea monitoring on industrial trawl ships to provide accurate estimation of all catch, including catch of river herring; [and] an accountability system to discourage the wasteful slippage, or dumping, of catch, including a fleetwide limit of five slippage events for each herring management area.”
Mark Gibson, deputy chief of the Fish and Wildlife division at the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and NEFMC member, said the council is considering several options to protect the river herring.
Environmentalists are supporting the catch cap solution, where a real time monitoring program conveys how many river herring have been caught. Those in the fishing industry support a “move along” option, where a monitoring system notifies them if a population of river herring is in the area. If there are a certain number of herring, the fisherman must “move along.” Another option being considered is the closure of “hot spots,” or known spawning grounds. Those in the fishing industry oppose this idea because it doesn’t give them the option to initially check the waters for river herring, which may not be present.
Of course, there is the option to make no changes, but Gibson said it is highly unlikely the council will vote to leave things status quo.
“I’m very confident it won’t be status quo or do nothing,” he said, though he said the council “hasn’t taken a preferred position yet.”
Earnshaw said action needs to be taken now, or river herring stocks will continue to dwindle, possibly to the point of extinction.
“We’ve been seeing declines in herring for well over a decade,” he said.
Earnshaw believes a major contributor to the dwindling stocks is bycatch. When fishing vessels, like large offshore trawlers, aim to catch other types of fish like halibut, butterfish and haddock, they unintentionally sweep up various sorts of other marine life, including river herring. The herring and other unintended catches are known as bycatch. In an earlier interview, Earnshaw said these fish are usually crushed to death in the weight of the nets.
Herring, said Earnshaw, is not a fish that humans would eat, but is sometimes used in things like cat food and fertilizer. Since the herring is often undesirable to those fishing for commercially marketable, edible fish, the dead herring are dumped back into the water.
By placing on-board observes on these trawlers, Earnshaw and advocates believe bycatch and dumping issues will be, at least partially, resolved.
At the last meeting of NEFMC, Gibson said the catch cap option seemed to garner the most support from the council.
Earnshaw said the protection of these fish is vital to the ecosystem, since many other species feed on herring to survive. But despite concerns, the population of local river herring is on the rise, which Gibson said is a promising sign.
This year, Buckeye Brook herring tallied 90,625, up dramatically from 2004’s total of 5,010.
Gibson thinks a combination of environmental factors (like increased rainfall) and measures taken by activists have helped ramp up stock numbers.
Still, Gibson said they’re a long way off from ideal counts. At Gilbert Stuart, a location they’ve been monitoring for years, 300,000 herring were recorded in 2000. In 2005, that number plunged to 7,000, but is back up to 108,000 for this year.
“We’ve turned a corner and are making some progress,” he said.
Although the NEFMC has been considering public comment for months, Earnshaw supports the idea to contact the governor and NEFMC members as a final push.
Earnshaw sent a letter to the governor personally, and although the governor does not directly deal with the NEFMC, its members do ultimately answer to him.
“It’s the best show we’ve had in a long time,” he said. “We’ve definitely got their attention.”

Faxes are an indispensable part of conducting business, be it with other firms, government agencies, or for legal purposes. Thanks to advancements in technology, the traditional way of sending and receiving faxes through machines are replaced by digital solutions like Online Faxing.
We all know how a Fax is can be sent using a fax machine, but Online Faxing?
Sounds interesting? Let’s have a look at what Online Faxing is, and how we can send and receive facsimiles online.
Traditional fax machines need a lot of resources like a dedicated phone line, stationary, power, staff to man it, etc. Whereas, Online Faxing refers to the method of sending and receiving faxes through email or Apps primarily using the internet.
Now, there is a plethora of online services that enable you to send faxes online – Email, VOIP, and the Web, apart from Apps like iFax that have been specifically designed for this purpose.
How to Send a Fax Online

Under this method, you can do away with your phone line, but you will still need your fax machine. By connecting your traditional facsimile to a VOIP package and an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) line, you can send faxes to your recipients, without using a computer.
By subscribing to the services of an Online Fax provider, you will be able to send and receive faxes online via an email client. In this method, you can completely do away with the traditional fax machines and phone line.
Apart from the above methods, a recent entry in this space is Fax Apps like iFax. You can download many of these Apps for free, choose a plan convenient for you, and send and receive faxes on the go. If the document you need to fax, is not in the digital form, then quickly scan it with a scanning app, convert it into a digital form, and send it across.
Receive Faxes Online
Akin to sending faxes, you can also receive them online using the above methods. Depending on the service you are subscribed to, you will mostly receive your fax as an email with attachment.
Benefits of Online Faxing
More and more users are increasingly adopting the usage of Online faxing as it comes with a unique set of advantages. They are

Aircraft bypass pins are used to bypass hydraulic system steering on aircraft, allowing for steering to be controlled completely by the pushback tug. Failure to use a bypass pin when the hydraulic system is activated can lead to equipment damage and operator injuries, as well as damage to the aircraft. Since some aircraft cannot bypass hydraulic steering without shutting down the entire hydraulic system, a bypass pin saves time and makes towing easy.
Each bypass pin is made of high-strength steel and the kit comes with a bright red flag with the words “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT.” The flag is fitted to the pin with a heavy-duty clip and lanyard.
Please contact Aviation Spares & Repairs Limited for more information on the Bypass Pin Set with Flag, B737 600-900, B757, B767, B777, B787. We are here to help with all your GSE requirements.

So, to get a list of zips, I then have to type *.zip in the file field and magically the zips appear.
There are many reasons why I don't use Explorer. This is one of them...

Google was down for an hour today that had an impact on many of its services. These include Gmail, YouTube, Drive, Maps, Docs among others. The brief disruption barred users to access the platforms as well as the company’s smart home platform Nest. Other services that also suffered the disrupt are Discord and Pokemon Go.
The Google outage majorly affected the US, India, and Europe
Majority of the complaints were about users not being able to log in to their accounts. However, some users were able to use YouTube in the incognito mode in Chrome. This suggested that the outage did not impact the services, but Google accounts instead.

Oracle picks PCIe flash from LSI for flashy next-gen Exadata box
Meanwhile, buyout by Avago still on track
Oracle, a minor database and enterprise software interest of yachtsman Larry Ellison, has picked LSI to supply PCIe flash acceleration cards.
LSI’s Nytro-branded cards will be used in Oracle’s Exadata X4 engineered system, what it calls its next-generation Database Machine. The cards have a jointly-developed Oracle LSI software technology called Dynamic Logical Capacity (DLC) which is claimed to “extend the logical flash storage capacity of Exadata beyond the system’s physical flash capacity.”
Oracle Exadata systems SVP Juan Loiaza said: “Flash-based storage is a key element of Exadata, and LSI Nytro flash accelerator cards deliver the performance and reliability that Oracle demands for Exadata. The expanded flash capacity enabled by DLC technology further enhances cost-effectiveness, raising the value we’re able to deliver to customers.”
There is no information about DLC on LSI’s web site. It sounds like some form of paging mechanism between the flash card and disk … maybe, but what’s new about that? We’re trying to find out more.
Nice win for LSI on the PCIe flash card front. As a reminder, LSI is being bought by Avago for $6.6bn cash. ®

How Diwali Festival is Celebrated in India?
Diwali is simply called the festival of lights and we celebrate it by bursting crackers, lighting lamps and taking oil bath. We worship the temple on that day and wear new outfits to celebrate it. Different regions have different traditions; commonly we do burst crackers and light lamps. Diwali is replete with its history and its legends. The history of Diwali is moored with stories of religious sculpture in Hindu religion and they mostly refer to the Puranas.
Diwali history mostly is reliable with the stories of Hindus and the legends in the religion. The central theme of Diwali is the victory of the good over the evils. Though there are several inferences that add fuel to the Diwali history, the central theme always remains the same. Diwali is the festival of lights and it is known as lighting the lamp of knowledge and prosperity. It means to reflect the significant purpose of the five days of festival to the lives.
How is Diwali celebrated?
Diwali is celebrated in different ways and on different dates. It is basically celebrated in account of Hindu mythology and it is celebrated for five days. The first day is Dhanvantari Trayodashi, second day is Narak Chaturdashi and the third day is celebrated as the actual Diwali. In the month of Kartika, the Lord Krishna killed Narakasura and that is named as Diwali. The fourth day is for Govardhan Pooja and the fifth day is Bhai Dhooj. Bhai dooj is basically dedicated to the sisters. In northern India, they celebrate it for five days whereas in South India it is only for 1 day.
The Diwali history is as simple as that when good wins over the evils; we celebrate it as the festival of lights by ruining crackers. Since Lord Krishna has killed the Asura in that day, we treat that festival as lighting the lives of the people by getting rid of evils and celebrate by bursting crackers.
Diwali is mostly celebrated in the month of Karthika as per Hindu mythology. This festival is celebrated because killing the Narakasura by Lord Krishna. Diwali is celebrated in North India with great zeal than in South India.

USA's 'Psych' to End After Eight Seasons
It’s time to retire the pineapple.
USA Network is officially ending its long-running scripted comedy series Psych after the current eighth season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The series finale has been set for March 26 at 9 p.m. A special one-hour live show, Psych After Show, will follow at 10 p.m., featuring a Q&A discussion with series creator Steve Franks and the entire cast taped in front of a studio audience in Los Angeles. James Roday and Dule Hill also released a video announcing the final episodes. (Watch the video below.)
Since Psych’s summer debut in 2006, the hour-long comedy has become a reliable bet for USA -- though it has been showing its age. The eighth season, which debuted Jan. 8, opened with 2.3 million viewers and a 0.8 rating among adults 18-49. The most recent episode dipped to 1.7 million viewers, very near a series low. Psych was last a considerable force in its fifth season when it regularly approached 4 million viewers.
"We've shot out season eight and if season eight is it, that's what it was meant to be. If it can live on in any other capacity, let's talk Broadway," Franks told THR in December, calling the finale "one of my favorite episodes of the show." He said of the closer: "It certainly has a degree of closure that will be satisfying."
A fan favorite at Comic-Con, Psych reached its 100th-episode milestone last March, and last December broadcast a two-hour movie musical, a long-in-the-works passion project from Franks. Psych has been known for its bevy of pop culture references and homages to classics like Clue, The Shining and Twin Peaks -- and has a considerable online presence (the Emmy-nominated #HashTag Killer campaign). When the show ends, it will have aired more than 120 episodes, just a few shy of USA's former dramedy Monk.
During Psych’s later years, castmembers have dabbled in work outside of Psych, most notably Maggie Lawson, who at one point was also juggling ABC comedy Back in the Game.
"Psych has made an indelible imprint on the television landscape, with a unique brand of comedy," said Chris McCumber, president of USA Network. "The final season celebrates the iconic characters that have made this show so beloved, and will be an exclamation point on the series' incredible run. And while the series will wrap in March, somehow I don't believe we’ve heard the last of Shawn and Gus."
Jeff Wachtel, president and chief content officer of NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, said, "Psych is one of those rare projects that broke into the cultural mainstream. Its wild energy, fearless fun and engaging characters delivered an unrivaled series that will continue to be loved by fans for as long as there are ways to watch TV."
The news comes at an interesting time for USA as it sets its sights on comedy with the upcoming launch of Denis Leary's Sirens in early March, continues its reality push with Chrisley Knows Best and eyes the next new scripted effort. With Psych wrapping up and Burn Notice and Necessary Roughness ending last year, USA has a handful of scripted shows on its slate: White Collar, which recently ended its fifth season and has yet to be renewed; Royal Pains; Covert Affairs; Suits; Graceland; the six-part miniseries Dig from Tim Kring; the aforementioned Sirens; Benched; and Playing House. USA also has five dramas in development.
Psych, co-starring Corbin Bernsen, Timothy Omundson and Kirsten Nelson, hails from Universal Cable Productions and Tagline Productions. Franks, Kelly Kulchak and Chris Henze are executive producers, with EP Mel Damski also director. Saladin K. Patterson, Andy Berman and Todd Harthan are co-executive producers, with Kell Cahoon consulting producer.
Michael O'Connell contributed to this report.

Five things we learned this week –
- Parkview is the front-runner in Region 8 – Beating reigning state champion Grayson on Sept. 14 was the season’s biggest upset. Beating Archer on Sept. 21 avenged a 40-16 loss from last season. But beating arch-rival Brookwood 21-14 on Sept. 28 officially stamped Parkview as ‘’back’’ and the team to beat in Region 8. Chris Carson rushed for 257 yards and two touchdowns. Parkview – state champion in 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2002 – has not won a region title since 2004. Until Parkview beat Brookwood on Friday, many felt Grayson would still win Region 8 by winning its remaining games. Now, Parkview would need to lose twice. Not likely now.
- Camden County is a worthy No. 1 team – If anyone thought Camden was ranked No. 1 by default after 2011 champion Grayson was upended by Parkview, the Wildcats showed otherwise Friday, routing Valdosta 43-6. It was Valdosta’s most lopsided in its historic Bazemore-Hyder Stadium since 1974,

Endometriosis doubles the risk of sexual dysfunctionBy: Karime Kalil Machado - May 8, 2017
A statistically significant difference was present in all domains evaluated, including sexual desire, sexual arousal, pain during intercourse, orgasm and/or sexual satisfaction and overall sexual dysfunction.
Women with endometriosis are more than two times as likely to present sexual dysfunction as compared to women without the disease, according to a study published in Gynecologic Endocrinology.
In this study conducted by researchers from the University of São Paulo School of Medicine in São Paulo, Brazil, more than 1000 women were recruited from a general gynecologic clinic and assessed for sexual function and anxiety/ depression with the Female Sexual Quotient tool and the Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventory, respectively. The final analysis included 254 women with endometriosis and 329 patients without the disease. Women who presented severe anxiety or depression were excluded.
The results showed that 43.3% of women with endometriosis experience overall sexual dysfunction, as compared to 17.6% of women in general population. A statistically significant difference was present in all domains evaluated, including sexual desire, sexual arousal, pain during intercourse, orgasm and/or sexual satisfaction and overall sexual dysfunction.
Previous studies had specifically demonstrated how pelvic pain and anxiety and depression in patients with endometriosis may negatively impact the quality of their sexual lives. The findings of this study corroborate the importance of assessing and addressing sexual dysfunction in routine clinical care of patients with this common disease.

When RED announced plans for their first 4K camera, many in the industry were in disbelief that such a company with little to no history in the business could pull off such a feat. Since 2007, the company has become a go to favorite for Hollywood's biggest studios and rattle off any recent blockbuster and it's highly likely that it was shot on one of their cameras.
Today, the company is announcing the latest moviemaking machine, the Red Weapon with an 8K Dragon sensor. Yes, that's an incredible 8192 x 4320 resolution full-frame sensor that is capable of 60 fps inside a forged carbon body. Need we say more?

Smell Receptors Are Like Fingerprints
In our noses are about six million smell receptors and about four hundred different types. How these receptors are spread out varies according to each person, and because of this variance, to each his or her own sense of smell. Yes, we each have a unique smelling nose. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Weizmann Institute researchers discovered how to identify an individual’s sense of smell, which they’re calling an “olfactory fingerprint.”
The importance of this study is that each one’s smell fingerprint may lead to many medical improvements from early diagnosis of degenerative brain disorders to a non-invasive test for matching donor organs.
The method to this madness is based on how similar or different two odors are from one another. In the first stage of the experiment, scientists asked the volunteers to rate 28 different smells according to 54 different descriptive words, like “lemony,” or “masculine.” Dr. Lavi Secundo led the study, along with Drs. Kobi Snitz and Kineret Weissler, all members of the lab of Prof. Noam Sobel of the Weizmann Institute’s Neurobiology Department. They developed a multidimensional mathematical formula that allows patients to identify how similar any two odors are to one another in the human sense of smell. This formula does not require the subjects to agree on the use and validity of any one given verbal descriptor; so the fingerprint is odor dependent but descriptor and language independent.
The next stage of the research suggested that our olfactory fingerprint may tie in with another system of ours in which we all differ – the immune system. They found, for example, that an immune antigen called HLA, today used to assess matches for organ donation, is correlated with certain olfactory fingerprints. This part of the study was conducted together with Drs. Ron Loewenthal, and Nancy Agmon-Levin, and Prof. Yehuda Shoenfeld, all of Sheba Medical Center.
So might this work for millions of patients? The researchers say that their figures prove that 28 odors alone could be used to “fingerprint” two million people, and that it would only take 34 odors to identify seven billion individuals on the planet.
But this smell fingerprinting could lead beyond identifying individuals, because it could be developed into methods for the early detection of diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer‘s, and it could lead to non-invasive methods for screening donor matches.

When I was an awkward young fellow, I used to write letters and greeting cards with a handwritten, silly faux-typewriter style. About 15 years ago, I scrawled, scanned and autotraced a font called Minya. In 2000, I redrew it and released it as Minya Nouvelle which included Regular, Italic, Bold & Bold Italic. Even tho, it was an improvement, there were a lot of problems with it. The new version has a lot of improvements, including new accents, more languages, more punctuation and symbols. Spacing and kerning has been completely redone. The italics are slightly narrower and spaced more loosely.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) October 08, 2015
The Carnegie Science Center (CSC) and StratoStar teamed up to launch a parrot to the edge of space. The Pirate Parrot, the mascot of the Pittsburgh Pirates, took a wild ride when a team of StratoStar students strapped him onto the payload of a weather balloon. The balloon was launched at the edge of the baseball field during pre-game festivities, and it rose high up into the stratosphere.
So why did CSC work with StratoStar to help a parrot fly to 96,000 ft.? CSC wanted to engage female students in a hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education experience. While women make up 50% of the workforce in the United States, only 25% of STEM jobs are held by women. The CSC is on a mission to reverse the trend with their STEM education programs for female students.
“It has been great working with Carnegie Science Center,” said StratoStar’s CEO Jason Kruger. “We both have a passion for inspiring the next generation of scientist and engineer who will change the world.”
The Pittsburgh Pirates - and their mascot - got involved when they caught wind of CSC’s plans to launch the weather balloon during Carnegie’s Girls Rock Science Weekend, which falls on the first weekend of October. Excited about the opportunity to get students energized about STEM, the Pirates offered to host the launch at their home game against the Cincinnati Reds.
“I remember playing baseball in the backyard and pretending to hit home runs in a professional baseball stadium,” Krueger said. “It is funny that I did finally fly a ball out of a MLB stadium through a STEM career.”
This was CSC’s first launch with StratoStar, but it won’t be the last. The Carnegie Science Center intends to expand the program to offer teachers in Pennsylvania professional development in hands-on experiences and project-based learning. CSC may also begin to offer weather balloon summer camp.
The launch was a huge success. The Pirate Parrot sailed into the stratosphere, where the weather balloon burst because of the low atmospheric pressure. As the balloon popped, a parachute deployed, and the Pirate Parrot fell back to earth, 15 miles away from the Pirates’ stadium. The parrot and the payload both were retrieved and the students were able to analyze their flight data.
StratoStar is an education company that travels across the country to start project-based learning programs in junior high, high school, college, and graduate schools seeking to put a greater emphasis on their STEM education initiatives. Using weather balloons, easy-to-use software, and a teaching plan that has been implemented in schools at all levels as well as high-profile government institutions, StratoStar takes students away from the textbook and into a real life mission. Students learn 21st-century skills as they plan, build, launch, and analyze the results of a high altitude science mission that will travel to the edge of space complete with video and computer generated flight analysis.
About Carnegie Science Center
Carnegie Science Center is dedicated to inspiring learning and curiosity by connecting science and technology with everyday life. By making science both relevant and fun, the Science Center’s goal is to increase science literacy in the region and motivate young people to seek careers in science and technology. One of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, the Science Center is Pittsburgh’s premier science exploration destination, reaching more than 700,000 people annually through its hands-on exhibits, camps, classes, and off-site education programs.

The problem of an obstacle with maximum cross-sectional area has been analytically solved in terms of a model for 2-D seepage flow with a capillary fringe. The boundary of the obstacle appears to show a 'blunt configuration', that is, the pressure reaches its maximum value at the vertex and decreases monotonically downstream. With a sufficiently large size of obstacle, a positive pressure domain in the form of a 'bubble' is formed in the vicinity of its vertex. This result has been verified by computations for saturated-unsaturated flows in terms of the finite element method for the Richards equation. It has also been shown that an obstacle can transform the initial fully saturated flow into unsaturated flow inside the 'dry shadow' domain. The shape of an obstacle in a confined aquifer that provides a minimum water head drop has been determined within the scope of the Dupuit model. A 'critical cavity shape' has been found, i.e. a cavity for which the boundary is simultaneously an isobar and a stream line.

These new rules will also be overseen and enforced by a new mainland agency with the powers of the state behind it. The idea is that with these new powers, the agency would be able to take over some cases and operate in the city without falling under local jurisdiction. Released late on Tuesday night was a six-chapter (66 articles) full draft of the controversial legislation.
The full text was released only after it became effective in the city amid widespread concerns about its implications, despite official reassurances that only a small minority would be targeted.
It lists four categories of offences:
Secession – breaking away from the country
Subversion – undermining the power or authority of the central government
Terrorism – using violence or intimidation against people
Collusion with foreign or external forces or external elements to endanger national security.
Although the suggested sentence for some minor offences is less than three years’ in jail, the maximum penalty for each crime is life imprisonment.
However, some suspects can also be extradited to mainland China, but only for cases that involve “complicated situations”.
This is usually to do with interference by foreign forces; cases in which the local government cannot effectively enforce the law and ones where national security is under “serious and realistic threats”.
For those cases in which Beijing exercises jurisdiction, a mainland agency that will be established in Hong Kong to enforce national security will carry out investigations and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate will assign authorities to lead the prosecution.
Hong Kong doctors must swear an oath of allegiance to Xi Jinping
The Supreme People’s Court will assign courts to hear those cases.
Article 54 in the 66 article text, states the new agency, alongside the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong and the local government, must adopt measures to “strengthen the management” of foreign non-governmental organisations and media agencies.
Furthermore, any details about a new national security commission and its operation will not be disclosed and its decisions are not subject to any judicial review.
If departments or local administration refused to cooperate with the new mainland agency, then severe questions will be raised.
China’s ‘secret’ new law has ‘raised stakes’ with ‘severe’ penalties
Hong Kong security law: What is the Hong Kong security law?
Totalitarianism for Hong Kong as Chinese pass secret laws overnight
The law also grants wide powers to mainland agents stationed in Hong Kong.
Under Article 60, the officers and the vehicles they use to carry out their duties are not subject to checks by local law enforcement.
Professor Fu Hualing, law dean at the University of Hong Kong, said the provisions concerning Beijing’s jurisdictions over “very few cases” allowed for a large degree of discretion, which remained to be clearly defined.
“Once the central government takes over [jurisdiction], it takes away everything,” Fu said.
“There is a ‘nationalisation’ of certain crimes.”
“For the first time, national laws on criminal matters apply in Hong Kong and there is a built-in rendition.”
Critics across the world are viewing these developments as further attempts for China’s Communist Party (CCP) to enforce their laws on the people of Hong Kong and remove their autonomy and democratic right to freedom of expression.

Ruth N. (George) Jardine
HAVERHILL: Ruth N. (George) Jardine, 89, passed away on April 17, 2017 at the Merrimack Valley Hospice House six days following the passing of her husband Charles P. Jardine, also at the Merrimack Valley Hospice House. The couple had been married for sixty-nine years.
Born in Haverhill on September 7, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Delbert and Minnie A. (Libby) George.
Ruth was educated in Haverhill and graduated from Haverhill High School. She worked as an assembler at the former AT&T prior to her retirement. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, and the Westminster Guild.
Ruth was a wonderful cook and baker, always making food for her family and gatherings. Her grandchildren especially remember being greeted on weekends with two apple pies when they came to visit. She was also a lover of plants and was very proud of her “green thumb”.
The last of six children, Ruth is survived by her son, Jeffery Jardine of Haverhill; five grandchildren; six great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a double memorial service on Sunday, April 30th at 2:00 p.m., at the First Presbyterian Church. Donation in Mr. & Mrs. Jardine’s memories may be made to First Presbyterian Church, 346 Broadway, Haverhill, MA 01832. Arrangements are under the direction of Dole, Childs & Shaw Funeral Home, 148 Main Street, Haverhill.

I just recently picked up a 2009 Camry SE and love the ride. I opted not to get the nav unit as I figured I could either buy or make one that will probably be cheaper and that is better and more fun. I've spent quite a few days looking at a bunch of head units and all the ones on the market are nice and plug-and-play but always feel lacking. As a result, I've gone back to the idea of building a car-puter. Anyway, on to the more fun stuff!
- akride -
Quick background: I've built computers but never tried a car-puter
Goal: Have a car-puter that looks good but is useful/fun and easy to fiddle with
Timeline: Depends but not rushing anything
Main Features - Primary Goals
- Clean, OEM-look, in-dash, easy to upgrade parts
- Bluetooth Telephone
Main Features - Secondary Goals/Wishlist
- Car Info - OBDII, TPMS
- Internet - Wi-fi, Piggyback 3G from cell phone
- Reverse Camera
- Remote Control
- Dash Kit - Metra Kit (purchased)
- Double DIN Chassis - ByByte Double Din Mini-ITX Enclosure (www.bybyte.com/BBX-1_content.htm) (purchased)
- Screen - Touchscreen, 7"
- Power Supply
- Hard Drive
- DVD Drive
- Antennas - GPS, HD, DTV
Aug 6, 2009 - I'm a n00b to the car-puter area so I've been spending my time running through these forums and the net to get a general gist of what I need. The main problem I'm having right now is trying to find a chassis. I don't have much fabrication experience nor do I know someone who can do it for me. My ideal chassis...
I went to a few sites (e.g., www.bybyte.com, www.kustompcs.co.uk, JKM InFill) but still haven't found something that fits. I haven't found anything yet. Anyone have an idea?
...looks like those aftermarket chassis with a tilting screen. Ideally, I'd also like a chassis with the ability to change out the screen as needed (e.g., for future screens). The best example is the new Kenwood DNX9140
, which has a reverse tilt as well.
Oct 31, 2011 - Yes, a turtle moves faster than the progress of this project but it's moving. I just received the ByByte Double Din Mini-ITX enclosure over the weekend. It looks awesome! I am going to do a physical check to ensure that the chassis fits nicely. Otherwise, my next steps are to look into getting a motherboard and screen combo that I'd like to use. So far, because of the chassis, I'm thinking of staying with a capacitive Lilliput EBY701. Oh, and the Metra kit that I picked up has a "shelf" that I'm going to have to cut off.

Intel this morning issued a statement noting that it has picked up Israeli AI chipmaker Habana Labs. The deal, valued at around $2 billion, is the latest piece of some hefty investments in artificial intelligence that include names like Nervana Systems and Movidius.
In July, Habana announced its Gaudi AI training processor, which the Tel Aviv startup promised was capable of beating GPU-based systems by 4x. The company has been rumored to be a target for an Intel acquisition for a while now, as Intel looks to get out in front of the AI market. The company clearly doesn’t want to repeat past mistakes like missing the boat on mobile.
So far, the strategy looks like it just may pay off, giving Intel a marked advantage in a category it notes will be worth around $24 billion by 2024. In 2019 alone, Intel notes, the company expects to generate in excess of $3.5 billion in “AI-driven revenue,” a 20% increase over the year prior.
“This acquisition advances our AI strategy, which is to provide customers with solutions to fit every performance need – from the intelligent edge to the data center,” Intel EVP Navin Shenoy said in a release tied to the news. “More specifically, Habana turbo-charges our AI offerings for the data center with a high-performance training processor family and a standards-based programming environment to address evolving AI workloads.”
For now, Intel expects to operate Habana as an independent business unit, keeping its current management team on board, with operations still primarily based in Israel. Habana chairman Avigdor Willenz will stay on to advise the companies.

The Kachemak Bay College Campus held its graduation ceremony Wednesday. Family and friends gathered in Homer High School’s auditorium to watch 13 GEDs and 21 certificates awarded. Nineteen graduates also received associate, bachelor and master’s degrees.
Retiring Associate Professor of Mathematics Sara Reinert was set to address the graduating class, but was unable to attend. Campus Director Carol Swartz spoke to Reinert’s impact on campus.
“During her past 25 years as assistant and associate professor of mathematics, she has made a significant difference in the lives of many students who have attributed their successful completion of their degree, and specifically to math and statistic courses,” Swartz said of Reinert, “to her enthusiasm, humor, supportive and individualized teaching style, out-of-the-box approach and above all her passionate, her respectful and steadfast commitment to your success.”
Retired Professor of History Michael Hawfield delivered Reinert’s keynote address, which focused on not only change the graduates will face, but used her own life as an example.
“There were a lot of other changes as I grew. The Civil Rights Act was passed in the 1960s, though there is still no equal rights amendment guaranteeing women the same rights as men. There have been men on the moon and there are female astronauts,” Hawfield read. “There are women on the Supreme Court. There’s a favorite quote of mine from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she was asked ‘When will there be enough women on the Supreme Court?’ She responded, “When there are nine.’ People were shocked.”
Graduates were not the only ones recognized for their achievements. Faculty also announced Director Swartz was inducted into the Alaska Women’s Hall of Fame on May 4. Swartz was recognized for her 31 years serving as director, promoting education in the community and helping found the college’s Kachemak Bay Writer’s Conference. Ten other women also joined Hall of Fame alumni.
The campus’ Adult Basic Education and GED Coordinator Lolita Brache is also retiring this spring after 22 years with the college.

See If Your Car Is On The Most Stolen List
Did you know vehicle theft costs Canadians about $1 billion annually? More than 200 cars are stolen daily across Canada. Some 86,132 vehicles were reported in 2018 alone, according to Statistics Canada.
Criminals target vehicles many reasons, including :
- To sell to unsuspecting customers. They may be given a new VIN or dismantled and sold for parts
- To commit another crime
- For joyriding or to travel somewhere
- To sell aboard (and sold for double their original market value)
