After returning to Canada from his transformational experiences studying Buddhism in Japan, living in an Ashram in India for ten months of intensive yoga training, plus years of wandering around exploring ancient cultures, David continues to share his 47 years of experience in Chakra Yoga with others.
When travelling to Egypt David discovered how richly immersed in yoga the early Egyptians had been. Also having experimented with pyramid structures as meditation tools for a decade at that point, he realized the connection and this became the seed ofthe Pyramid Yoga Center
Following a number of years teaching solo, in 1996 David and his soul-friend and partner at the time, Marina Halleran founded the successful Chakra Yoga Center in Victoria Canada. Offering unique teachings of Yoga as they are traditionally transmitted in the East, and bridging that with modern science, the Chakra Yoga Center flourished, inspiring and enriching the lives of an open and supportive Western audience.

Pyramid Yoga, Thailand
On the Spring Equinox of 2002, David and Marina founded their second joint venture, Pyramid Yoga Center Thailand, which have been offering a unique and intensive Teacher Training program based on the Chakra Yoga system that David studied in India and applied to his life for over 40 years. For past 13 years based on the Science of Yoga, and various Yogic Healing courses, Retreats, Therapies and much more, the knowledge has been passed on in traditional guru-chela yogic way. More about the location in Thailand.
Chakra Yoga & Sustainable Living Project , Philippines
On the Summer Solstice of 2008 another dream of creating a sustainable community and lifestyle project manifested itself in the off beat shores of Port Barton, Palawan, Philippines when David lay the foundation stone of Chakra Yoga Center which continues to offer Teachers Training and other retreats(link) as in Thailand. In the pioneering spirit of David's father and grandfathers, the jungles of Palawan are being tamed (without destruction) into a more garden state with the addition of houses blended in and powered by the sun.
More about the Location in the Philippines.
A Sustainable Living project
The Permaculture and Sustainable Living venture is located in the beach side village of Port Barton in Palawan, Philippines .Our vision is to create a Yogic community focused on balanced, harmonious joyful living, and High evolutionary thinking.
With more than enough nutrient-rich land to share, we also have a beach front property on which we have recently completed constructing a simple open style Yoga Studio.
We are in process of constructing huts in addition to the few huts built as a part of the Yogic sustainable lifestyle.

A soft and rather pale colored rosé with raspberry and copper colored undertones. The gradation is a more silvery colored shade. The wine is bright, crystal clear and unclouded. Visually, it presents a good concentration of matter. The first impression is rather reserved if not discrete. However, the beautiful elegance of this wine is still evident. With only a little time to breathe, the wine quickly opens up with hints of red fruits, such as redcurrants, raspberries and strawberries, and hints of freesia and rose which bring a delicate side to the whole. Finally, we find aromas of garrigue, liquorice and myrtle which bring character and freshness to the wine. Palate - From the attack on the palate, we instantly find the elegant and delicate qualities from its aroma. Additionally, we find fruity flavors, in particular flavors of redcurrants, which give the wine its tangy side. The flavors linger for an average amount of time on the palate and are carried by the freshness of its acidity and the flavours of English sweets which we find on the finish. A pleasantly strong wine.
This wine is ideal from aperitif to dessert. This rosé wine will match with italian food, tomatoes, hot and spicy dishes.

ALBUQUERQUE – By the end, there wasn’t a thing that didn’t hurt. Every step brought another ounce of agony. Every breath invited a fresh wave of nausea, the misery spreading everywhere. Taquan Dean couldn’t keep going. But he couldn’t sit out, either.
So he would stagger over to the bench, and the training staff would start slapping ice everywhere: thigh, hamstring, back. When they remembered, they’d also tend to his right ankle, the one he’d sprained Thursday night, the one that might have kept a softer player sidelined yesterday.
“After awhile,” Dean said, “I almost forgot my ankle was supposed to hurt me too.”
All day, he’d been the only reason why the Louisville Cardinals still had a basketball season to fight for. All day, while West Virginia connected on one 3 after another, as the lead grew to 10, to 15, to 20, as the other Cardinals seemed to have one foot out the door, Dean kept slamming the door shut. Kept making 3s. Kept cajoling his teammates. And that was before the cramps started to hit.
Afterward, the only difference was the tears that kept forcing their way down Dean’s cheeks. Because he still kept jacking 3s. He still kept demanding that the Cardinals stay after the Mountaineers. He scored 23 points, and he played unrelenting defense, and at the end he had a net around his neck to show for his efforts, and a ticket punched to the Final Four.
Even as everything began to hurt all over again.
“I have a week to get better,” Dean said. “I won’t need that long.”
He smiled. “Besides,” he said, “I kept telling myself one thing. I’ve been through worse than this. I’ve been through a lot worse.”
He made it out of Red Bank, N.J., for one, despite the fact he never knew his father and watched his mother, Felicia, die in front of his eyes when he was 6. He went to live with his grandparents, then saw both of them die within a year of each other. Next, an uncle took him in. The uncle died when he was 9.
Leg cramps? Leg cramps are a joke.
“This is a tough kid, a tough Jersey kid, one of the toughest players I’ve ever coached,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. “Sometimes, I have to remind him that not everyone has the same kind of resolve he has. In fact, hardly anyone does.”
A year ago, with Louisville suffering through a terrible losing streak, Dean and his roommate, Francisco Garcia, opted for their own antidote for what ailed the team. One night, they decided to visit the gym and keep shooting until they felt better, or until they felt like passing out. They brought their pillows and comforters.
They shot 2,000 jumpers apiece. Then crashed. Did it the next night, too. And the next.
“Coach Pitino said we were crazy,” Garcia said. “We just laughed. And we kept doing it.”
It was toward the end of last season when Dean’s groin started to ail him, and it was only after the season that he was diagnosed with a double hernia, told he had two tears in his abdominal wall, warned the condition could be career-threatening.
Leg cramps? Are you kidding?
“All that mattered today,” Dean said, “was finding a way to beat those guys. I figured they couldn’t make every one of those 3s. I was almost wrong. They tried to. But we were there at the end.”
They were there at the end because Dean got them there. Larry O’Bannon may have taken home the region’s Most Outstanding Player award, but Dean was the Cardinals’ most valuable.
“He gave me my season back,” said Garcia, who’d fouled out with four minutes left in regulation. “I owe him for that.”
They all do. The Cardinals all took their turns snipping pieces of the net away. Only one got the whole thing, and he had to limp his way to the top of the ladder. Taquan Dean didn’t mind.
Follow the leader
West Virginia built a 20-point lead against Louisville late in the first half of last night’s Albuquerque Region final. From that point, Francisco Garcia (32), Taquan Dean and the Cardinals outscored the Mountaineers 75-47 to win 93-85 in overtime and advance to the Final Four. Here’s a look at how the lead fluctuated during the game:
Score Lead Time Remaining
Lou., 3-0 3 19:09, first half
WV, 16-5 11 11:59, first half
WV, 38-18 20 2:50, first half
WV, 38-23 15 1:50, first half
WV, 40-27 13 End first half
WV, 52-42 10 13:09, second half
WV, 54-51 3 10:34, second half
WV, 71-61 10 5:27, second half
WV, 74-73 1 2:04, second half
WV, 77-73 4 1:34, second half
Tie, 77-77 tie End regulation
Lou., 82-78 4 3:47, overtime
Tie, 82-82 tie 3:14, overtime
Lou., 92-83 9 0:40, overtime
Lou., 93-85 8 Final score

We all remember our first gigs. Mine were Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Motorhead, Ozzy and Judas Priest at Newcastle City Hall and at the Mayfair with it’s over 18 policy was Tygers of Pan Tang, Raven and Hanoi Rocks with my last one before it was demolished, was the Fun Lovin’ Criminals in ’98.
I remember the distinctive green and orange day glo posters advertising gig’s at The Mayfair. Recently I talked with Mark Johnson who with his friends Dave Mitcheson and Steve Smith have recently opened Bad Moon Prints and aim to reproduce those iconic posters….
Basically we were reminiscing about all the great gigs we had seen at Newcastle Mayfair in it’s heyday. My first gig was the Pink Fairies in ‘76 and then I saw AC/DC, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, there were loads. Every Friday we would be there.
We thought it would be a great idea if we could reproduce the gig posters from all the iconic acts that played the Mayfair including Zeppelin, Floyd, Sabbath, Queen, Bowie, The Who and Nirvana.
Very few, if any of the early originals are now in existence. We managed to get originals of the Led Zeppelin posters from both Sunderland and Newcastle in ’71. They were in very poor condition. But I have a few originals which I nicked off the wall from when I worked there (laughs).
When did you work at the Mayfair ? I was on the stage crew for a couple of years. My first job was in November ‘78 when AC/DC played. Then it was every Friday with the likes of Judas Priest, The Clash, Police, Cheap Trick, Ramones and Journey to name a few. I also worked at the Newcastle City Hall from summer ‘79 till around summer ‘81. I was in the same squad that also worked the Newcastle Polytechnic and Sunderland Mayfair which was a lot easier venue to load in.
How did you get on the crew ? I was a student at Newcastle College and this guy I knew who already worked there just asked if I fancied earning £10, a cheeseburger, drinks tokens and seeing AC/DC ? (laughs). We would start loading in from 11am and it ended up around ten to twelve of us long haired types unloading two articulated trucks and taking the gear down an old service lift and using the fire escape stairs.
How much gear are you talking about ? Well these were big bands, AC/DC, Journey, Sammy Hagar, The Police, with all their sound and lighting gear, tons really. The band’s would have their own professional crew, we would just hump the gear in and out. Their crew would be the drum and guitar techs, lighting and sound guy’s etc. Those guy’s would know where everything went while we were just a rabble of young daft music fan’s getting in the gig for nowt (laughs).
When would the band appear ? They would rock up in the afternoon for the soundcheck, we would sit and watch them. Maybe hang around for a few drinks then go back to the hotel. When the bands were on stage we would either be tasked with doing follow spots, standing at the side of the stage or nicking their beer from the backstage area. Some of them were really canny guy’s, usually the techs had more of an ego on them than the actual band members but we had some great laughs.
After the gig we would bring all the equipment back up the stairs. The load out would take until around 4-5am. I think one night it was Molly Hatchett’s sound desk that went flying back down four flights of concrete stairs because the local crew were rather a bit too refreshed. Their tour Manager wasn’t chuffed.
We didn’t have any stage management or anything, half the time it was chaos and we used some dodgy characters. We were on the 5am train going home once and one of the lads had nicked half a side of beef from the kitchens which raised a few eyebrows.
Are there any stand out gigs that you can remember ? Yeah the Two Tone tour with The Specials, Selecter and Madness. Basically there was a sea of skinheads, mods and punks and there was one big fight from start to finish. Tables chucked off balconies. Mayhem.
All of the stage crew had long hair so we just stood at the side of the stage or backstage and kept out of it. Think it was the night when the police with dogs turned up – or was that The Clash ?
Can you remember your last gig working at the Mayfair ? My last gig working there was The Clash. Around that time I had done 5 or 6 crew gigs in a row to save money to see Pink Floyd on The Wall tour. To be honest it wasn’t the most professional set up compared to the set up at Newcastle City Hall.
They had a plan to work from, a Stage Manager for a start. No alcohol whilst working, a set time to be there. A guy called Colin Rowell ran it and it was very well run. We were the best stage crew in England.
You have to remember most of the Mayfair gig’s would be on a Friday night, but there was concerts on at the City Hall every night. One night you could be loading in Motorhead and the next night it would be The La Sagesse School Choir (laughs) and the next night it would be Queen for two nights.
By the end of the week there could have been a soul band on, an orchestra on, Shirley Bassey or someone like that and then back to a big act like the Jam or UFO. So you were there virtually every night. Sometimes we used to sleep on the stage or back stage for the early load in next morning –Which usually involved mischief.
Can you remember your last working gig at the City Hall ? I think it may have been the Van Halen gig. They brought in enough gear to fill St James Park. It was ridiculous.
I think most of the Stage crew would not carry on doing it forever unless they get picked up by a band and go out on tour with them – which occasionally happened if they were crew down or get a job with a light or sound company.
Some of lads I know went on to work for various lighting or sound companies, I know other lads, and lasses who went on to work full time for Ozzy, Queen and The Tubes. I eventually decided I needed a proper job (laughs) – with some regret later on when I heard their tales.
Now you’re involved in printing the posters of the bands that were on at The Mayfair…Yeah the main reason was to bring those long forgotten nights back to life. Anyone who went to either Sunderland or Newcastle Mayfair between ‘67 and ‘97 will know where we are coming from. These were great, great bands that defined a generation, whether you were a mod, punk, biker, rocker, hippie or whatever.
Producing these posters will hopefully keep those memories alive and the spirit of those fantastic nights going. They were great times for live music, and personally from a nostalgic point of view that variation and quality of artists will never be repeated.
I’m sure everyone has their favourite Mayfair gig…Yes, for the folks in Sunderland it seems to be the Faces or Free, at Newcastle it seems to be one of the 6 or 7 times when AC/DC played. Or the nights when the Specials and Selector came to town on their Two Tone tour.
The most interesting gigs for me is finding Pink Floyd played there in 1968 and the fact that Led Zeppelin played their first ever UK gig at the Mayfair as The Yardbirds.
This was a fact unearthed by North East music historian Marshall Hall who was met with derision by the Zeppelin ‘academia’ when he first published his findings. But they all had egg on their face once it was established as fact. This had been lost for years until Marshall’s discovery and now he has rewritten the Zeppelin history books.
Another little fact was Queen supporting Vinegar Joe in ‘73 and another piece of history was Bowie just before he hit the big time.
How do you produce the posters ? The posters are produced to the exact original spec. It took painstaking research of the adverts in the British Newspaper Archives where we looked at dates, support acts, ticket prices and the promoters. We also researched all of the original fonts used on the posters, a lot of them now defunct.
After a period of about 6 months we started to reproduce and build the original posters. We had to purchase the original fonts and source the original day-glo paper. Which wasn’t easy as it isn’t cheap and now not widely produced. So the whole job has become a bit of a labour of love. Some of the originals have imperfections because they were done cheaply so we’ve even reproduced them to be as authentic as possible.
How many posters have you produced ? There is about 50 on the site with more to come. You have to remember at the time these posters were a minimal no frill affairs with only the band, date and price on. They were produced as cheaply as possible. As it was left up to the Mecca to promote the gigs, very rarely were there any images on the posters compared to the bands that were playing at the City Hall up the road.
We really love these posters, we have enjoyed making sure they are spot on with regard to exact copies. Just great times. Great posters.

Update to this question and coming from my Mayo surgical team: "We do not use transurethral prostatectomy for treatment of prostate cancer as this does not treat the entire prostate."

Let’s face it; there is one challenge that a lot of small and medium sized businesses face and that is, the need to keep closing sales. As a business owner, working very hard to reach your set goals is given; but when all your hard work is not paying off you will need to ensure that you implement a strategy to help you meet your set goals. One way you can do this is through Sales Automation. Sales automation is simply placing your business’ sales processes in a format that does not require you to be physically present.
This may mean that you will write an awesome sales letter that will cause your target market to want to purchase your product(s) and or service(s) without the need to meet you face to face. This could also mean putting up a website and an email system designed to reach out to your prospective customers/clients and makes your offer compelling enough to make them want to patronize your business.
You may be thinking “Nah, selling my products will require face-to-face interaction; so, I’ll pass on the sales automation process thank you very much.”
Okay, here’s the thing – you only have 24 hours in one day! You cannot meet your entire targeted prospects personally; some people might be too busy to see you. So, if the success of your company still remains solidly tied to being able to shake hands with each prospect; we hate to break it to you, but you will be limiting your future earning severely.
Rather than being the stumbling-block to the success of your company, it is better to find a way to effectively package what you are offering so that you can automate your sales process. When you do this, you will be able to dream of having a bigger and better cash flow.
It is important that you learn to use sales automation tools such as opt-in pages, email templates, document management, lead management and sales forecasting to boost your closing percentage. To really boost your business exponentially, you should look into sales automation software, also known as CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software. As soon as you successfully automate part or all of your business’ sales processes, you will notice that your closing ratio and your bottom line will receive a significant boost.

I know, this week has been covered with news about the new version of Windows Mobile. So you owners of Windows Mobile 2003, 2003SE or 5.0 don’t feel left out, Microsoft has released an important update that you should apply to your device as soon as possible. Government leaders in the US and Canada have enacted legislation that changes when Daylight Savings Time starts and ends in those countries. Unfortunately, this change means that consumer electronic devices that are programmed to automatically change the clock by one hour for CST must be updated or they will erroneously change the clock at the old dates. Microsoft has released an update to change the WM devices to the new dates so the clocks will change properly. The update is available in two flavors, a PC installer that requires hooking the device to the PC and as a CAB file that can be downloaded directly to the device and installed without a PC. The update web page has detailed information and instructions which should be followed exactly to make sure the update gets applied properly. Note that once the update is installed on your device you MUST manually change your time zone once to make the update kick in. Then just change the time zone back. I intend to update all my WM devices today so I don’t forget.
UPDATE: in going through the update process I noted there are three components to this update- a Windows XP component, Outlook component, and the Windows Mobile component. According to the update docs, Vista has already incorporated the change so nothing needs to be applied on those systems running Vista. Outlook 2007 is not listed as a version needing the Outlook component so apparently the change has already been rolled into that too. That means if you’re running Vista and Outlook 2007 you only need to apply the WM update to your device.

Following the latest government advice, we remain temporarily closed until further notice. Find out more on the Wellcome Collection website.
The Faculty was set up to support Community Health doctors (many of whom were members of the Society), improve their training and promote academic excellence in the field of preventive medicine. The Society felt that this discipline and the work of Clinical Medical Officers (which included child/school health, audiology, family planning, women's' health, disability, mental illness, mental handicap and occupational health) was largely uncovered by the role of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine*. The aims and objectives of the Society's Faculty were to act as an authoritative body within the Society, promote Community Health as an independent discipline and establish it as a necessary and integral part of total health care systems, arrange examinations and training, establish standards of professional competence and practice, facilitate discussion and dispense information through the medical and health related professions.
Since Oct 1997, the Faculty has operated as a self-financing body within the merged Royal Institute of Public Health and Hygiene and Society of Public Health.
The deposited records of the Faculty are rather erratic. Researchers should also consult the Society's Council minutes, 1986-1997, and meeting papers for reports on the setting up of the Faculty and periodic reports on the Faculty's activities.
* The Faculty of Public Health Medicine:
In March 1972 the three Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom (i.e. Edinburgh, Glasgow and London) set up a Faculty of Community Medicine. It was entirely an academic body and separate to the Society. Efforts to form it had been started in 1969, following the formation of the Council for Postgraduate Medical Education and the increasing acceptance of the need for specialist training and registration in the field of Community Medicine. The Society, represented by its President Dr Wilfrid G Harding, took a leading part in negotiating with the Royal Colleges to establish the Faculty. Dr Harding was elected Chairman of the Provisional Council, which held its first meeting in Feb 1971. Admission to membership was by examination. The Faculty's objectives were to promote the advancement of education in the field of community medicine, high standards of professional competence and practice and to act as an authoritative body for the purpose of consultation in matters of education or public interest concerning community medicine. It's educational role in postgraduate training was complementary to that of the Society. It was renamed the Faculty of Public Health Medicine in Dec 1989.
Although the Society was instrumental in setting up the Faculty, and both organisations collaborated on training courses, there was some friction between them. This originated from the Faculty's refusal to allow clinical people in as foundation members or subsequently. Whilst disenfranchising some Society members, on the other hand the Society was faced with the possible loss of other members to the Faculty, at a time of change and uncertainty brought about by the forthcoming NHS reorganisation. These factors contributed the Society's decision to set up its own Faculty in 1988, which would include clinical members.

The Vocal Orchestra (Underbelly Productions)
By Ellie Willis | Published on Thursday 23 August 2012
Behold one of the most amazing feats: seven individual beatboxers come together as one glorious harmonic ensemble chock full of passion and energy. This is a stupendous and dynamic performance incorporating both chilling ballads and upbeat classics, dance numbers, and comedic theatrical skits all emphasising The Vocal Orchestra’s innumerable talents. One will be mesmerised by not only by the flawless vocals and choreography, but also simply by the passion and fun had on stage. Though The Vocal Orchestra had a bit of a slow start with the audience participation, they surely make up for it with their astounding talent and attitudes. One cannot compliment them enough; The Vocal Orchestra is a phenomenal show not to be missed.
Underbelly Bristo Square, 2-27 Aug, 5.15pm.

|The Nashville Predators evened their Western Conference quarterfinal playoff series against the No. 1-seeded Detroit Red Wings with a 3-2 victory in Game 4.
WATCH highlights from the Predators' win
The Predators got the jump on the Presidents’ Trophy winners Wednesday night as defensemen Dan Hamhuis and Shea Weber scored 32 seconds apart early in the first period and Nashville held on for a 3-2 victory that tied their Western Conference quarterfinal series at two wins each.
Another defenseman, Greg de Vries, scored 6:35 into the second period — knocking out Dominik Hasek in the process — and Dan Ellis made 39 saves as the Predators assured themselves of a return to Nashville for Game 6 on Sunday. Game 5 is Friday night in Detroit.
“We’re in a best-of-3 series now and we’re going home,” Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. “We have to get better. We have to push them real hard.
“I still feel pretty good about our situation.”
To win the series, the Predators still have to win a game away from the Sommet Center, something they’ve never done in four trips to the playoffs.
“We’ve got to win a road game,” coach Barry Trotz said. “We haven’t done that.”
Nashville scored twice in nine seconds late in the third period to stun the Wings and win Game 3. This time, they got two quick goals to start the game — and Detroit never recovered.
With Niklas Kronvall in the penalty box for hooking, Hamhuis scored his first career postseason goal, firing a shot from the left circle over Hasek's glove off a pass from Alexander Radulov at 5:18.
“I thought that was huge,” Trotz said of getting the first goal, something the Predators hadn’t done in the first three games of the series. “I thought we played a really solid first period.”
Weber beat Hasek for a 2-0 lead at 5:50, a goal that appeared to rattle the Red Wings, who’ve given up two goals in less than 35 seconds in three straight games. They were the first two first-period goals for the Predators in the series.
Martin Erat, who assisted on both goals, nearly made it 3-0 less than two minutes later when skated around the net and tried to sneak the puck in with Hasek sprawled on his back. But the 43-year-old goalie was able to stretch out his left skate to the post and stop the puck.
“They came at us pretty hard after that first goal,” Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. “We have to do a better job clearing bodies in front of the net.”
Detroit got out of the first period only down 2-0, and the Wings came out energized in the second. Pavel Datsyuk cut the margin to 2-1 with a power-play goal at 6:24 when he easily beat Ellis from the left circle as the goalie, in only his fourth NHL playoff game, came out to the edge of the circle to challenge him only to miss the puck.
But just 11 seconds later, Nashville answered when de Vries wound up and fired a slap shot that beat Hasek between the pads for a 3-1 lead. At that point, Babcock pulled Hasek, who stopped 11 of 14 shots, and replaced him with Chris Osgood, prompting the sellout crowd at the Sommet Center to give the Preds a standing, towel-waving ovation throughout a timeout midway through the period.
“It hurts when we score a goal and they answer right away,” Detroit center Kris Draper said. “When we create momentum, we have to find a way to keep it.”
The Wings responded to the goalie change by controlling the play, though they were unable to score again until Datsyuk converted a pass from Tomas Holmstrom at 3:23 of the third period.
“I thought we played a lot better in the second half of the game,” Lidstrom said. “(Ellis) played well for them, especially in the third period.” The Wings had chances the rest of the way, but Ellis protected the lead the rest of the way, with the fans on their feet for the final minutes.
“We had lots of opportunities,” Babcock said. “We had some excellent opportunities to tie the game, but it didn’t happen.”
The Predators were understandably pumped up after winning two games at home to even the series.
“We’re on even ground now,” forward Jordin Tootoo said. “It’s best out of three now.”
Osgood stopped all 13 shots he faced, and Babcock will have to decide whether to stick with him in Game 5 or go back to Hasek, who hasn’t been consistently sharp.
“I want to take a deep breath,” Babcock said when asked if he’d made a decision, adding that he wanted to talk to his coaching staff before announcing his Game 5 starter.

The Power Fault Recorder (DEWE-PFR) is a network analyser for low, medium and high voltage systems.
Due to the flexibility of the software, many activities can be done in a single box, from fault recording to RMS monitoring.
The instrument provides up to 16 (48) analog voltage or current channels. Along with its main task of monitoring and recording RMS values, it identifies and stores faults as waveforms for detailed analysis. A unique capability of these systems is that they can also use calculated line-to-line channels for these events.
Due to the very different requirements of individual transformer stations, a very simple and flexible hardware system is necessary. Based on the DEWE-PFR systems, these requirements can be met.
Arbitrary number of channels, an easy change of voltage and current input channels, user-friendly maintenance and cascading possibilities are elements of this instrument group.
In addition, highest EMV (electromagnetic compatibility) requirements are necessary. Differential input channels, isolated circuits and secure current paths are guaranteed by the DAQP-HV and DAQP-LA modules.
One central data base solution should be able to centrally store the data and support an automated reporting system. E-mail notification in case of an error, automatically updated recorder feature and the integration in existing SCADA systems are among the required functions. Report generator and on-screen reports are standard.

The cap-needy Ravens gained $5 million in space by cutting Maclin after he recorded career lows with 40 catches for 440 yards, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He was due a $1 million roster bonus on Friday.
This move was expected after general manager Ozzie Newsome said last month that he wanted to change the look of the team’s wide receiver room. Parting ways with Maclin comes one day after the Ravens reached agreements with wide receivers Ryan Grant and John Brown.
Maclin’s struggles were compounded by injuries. He missed two games in October with a shoulder injury, and he was sidelined for the final two games with a knee issue. Maclin, 29, has played a full 16-game season twice in his nine-year career.
There were high expectations when Baltimore signed Maclin to a two-year, $11 million contract after he was abruptly released by the Kansas City Chiefs last offseason.
Considered the top wide receiver available at the time, Maclin had averaged 68 catches, 900-plus receiving yards and six touchdowns in the first seven seasons of his NFL career. With Baltimore, he topped 50 yards receiving in only three games.
The Ravens’ four offseason departures — Maclin, Lardarius Webb, Austin Howard and Danny Woodhead — created $11.55 million in cap space as well as $6.8 million in dead money. These moves allowed Baltimore to nearly triple its original cap room.

Getting a new perspective on an old idea can be jarring.
Take the example of a world map.
Just look at how different the map above looks compared to the one you’ve seen your entire life. (Source: http://vladstudio.deviantart.com/art/World-Map-Upside-Down-129838266)
How can something so familiar seem so disorienting?
First, it reminds you that ideas of “north” and “south” are arbitrary constructs.
Second, the map is also “rotated” so that China, Indonesia and Australia are in the center of the world. The United States and Europe are little more than “southern” backwaters.
You can apply a similar shift in perspective to looking at the U.S. economy.
In an open economy — such as the United States and, to a lesser extent, the European Union — political borders are artificial, and almost irrelevant, in getting a handle on areas driving economic growth.
U.S. Economy: ‘Asian Tigers’ in the U.S. Heartland
The U.S. economy grew at just 1.8% in 2013 and contracted an eye popping 2.9% in Q1.
That made it by far the worst-performing major economy in the world.
But the United States is a big country, and different parts are growing at different rates. Thanks to the boom in mining and the shale energy revolution, some parts are growing faster than the Asian Tigers.
North Dakota’s economy grew at 9.7% last year. About the size of Bulgaria, North Dakota would be among fastest-growing economies in the world. Wyoming next door grew by 7.6%, followed by West Virginia and Oklahoma. Even Texas’ hefty $1.4 trillion economy — about the size of Spain’s economy — grew at a solid 3.8%.
Clearly, some parts of the United States are doing better than others.
In fact, it’s almost deceptive to even think of the U.S. economy in terms of states.
It is better to look at the United States as the summation of various “mega regions.”
Richard Florida and his colleagues at the Martin Prosperity Institute identified 40 contiguous lighted areas across the planet with more than one major city or metropolitan region that produced more than $100 billion in economic output. The United States alone has 12 of these areas.
Indeed, a casual glance at the satellite image above confirms that there is a lot more economic activity going on in some parts of the United States than others.
Here are some of Florida’s surprising conclusions:
- The Boston-Washington corridor has a bigger gross domestic product (GDP) than Germany. If it were a separate country, this region would be the fourth-largest economy in the world, after the United States, China and Japan. Not bad for a population of only 57 million.
- The size of the Chicago-Pittsburgh corridor’s economy is about the same as the United Kingdom or Brazil. Its 41 million inhabitants live in an economy larger than that of Russia. Alone, the region would be the world’s seventh-largest economy.
- Southern California’s population of 21.8 million generates a larger GDP than all of Mexico, and it alone would rank among the world’s top 15 economies.
All told, a dozen U.S. mega-regions produce more than $13 trillion dollars in economic output, equal to three-quarters of America’s total GDP.
Take away these mega regions, and you don’t have a whole lot left.
Tectonic Shifts in the U.S. Economy
Dig deeper into what’s been happening over the past few years, and a couple of surprising trends emerge.
For all of its current economic heft, the Boston-Washington corridor is also the least dynamic in the United States. The Virginia and Maryland economies were stagnant in 2013. New York and Connecticut all grew by less than 1%.
According to a recent study by IHS Global Insight, which looked at cities rather than mega regions, almost all of the big-growth areas for the United States over the remainder of the decade stem from the South and West.
IHS projects the fastest rate of economic growth among Top 100 Metro Areas through 2020 as:
- Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, Texas — 4.4%
- Raleigh-Cary, North Carolina — 4.3 %
- Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, Arkansas-Missouri — 4.2%
- Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, California — 4.2%
- Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina — 4.1%.
Personally, I was surprised to see that two of the top five cities are in North Carolina.
That said, both cities are in Richard Florida’s Charlotte-Atlanta cluster — a region of 22 million people that includes Atlanta, Georgia; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Birmingham, Alabama. With a combined economic output of more than $1 trillion, this cluster’s economy is bigger than South Korea’s and places it among the world’s fifteen largest economies.
The Road Ahead
Much like turning a world map upside down, looking at the U.S. economy as a collection of states and mega regions changes your perspective.
It also highlights fundamental shifts in the U.S. economy masked by nationwide statistics.
Some parts of the United States are clearly more dynamic than others. And they also correlate with certain characteristics. Of the 21 growth-leading metro regions covered in the IHS Global Insight study, six are in Texas and four in Florida.
And what do these regions have in common? Warm weather, light regulation and low taxes.
On the flipside, mega regions like the Boston-Washington corridor, with its high regulation and taxation, have surprisingly a lot in common with low-growth Europe.
Project out even further into the future, and it’s hard to escape the conclusion that the region is set to follow Europe’s fate as an economic laggard.
And that will stay true, no matter how you flip your world map.
In case you missed it, I encourage you to read my e-letter column from last week about ‘bond king’ Bill Gross’ favorite investment. I also invite you to comment in the space provided below.

John Dolmayan: System of a Down Would Make a New Record “If My Band Members Listened to Me”
We all know that System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan is very vocal about his political beliefs, from saying he’d vote for Trump again despite the January 6th hearings to claiming he’d figured out the cause of COVID while brushing off the invasion of Ukraine. Now, however, Dolmayan has taken a moment to explain why System of a Down aren’t releasing more new music — and guess what, the problem is everybody but him.
Speaking to Sona Oganesyan (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), Dolmayan spoke about the band’s two recent new tracks, “Genocidal Humanoidz” and “Protect the Land.” Dolmayan explained that they were all for charity — and then took a moment to shit on his bandmates:
“Well, there’s positives and negatives of it, because the road of getting somewhere is also important; how you achieve something is part of the process. So that wasn’t the greatest for me. But at the end of the day, because it wasn’t for me… I’ll never make a dollar off those songs. I’ve given my lifetime publishing for those songs, any royalties, it all goes to Armenian causes.
“So it was never about the financials for me. So in that way, it was incredibly successful for me personally. And although it was nice to have something come out, that also reminds you of the potential, ’cause, obviously, we still have something to give to the world. And when you put something out that actually makes an impact, you’re, like, ‘Why aren’t we doing this all the time?’ And then I go down the rabbit hole of frustration and anger.”
“I’m a sensitive person, so I can’t just hold this stuff in; it has to come out one way or the other. And it takes me a long time to deal with it and to cope with it, because I also am realistic in that life is finite; you only have a certain amount of time. And here we are. We have this gift that came from God or wherever, and we’re squandering it. It’s an insult to everybody else that tries to make it in whatever endeavor they’re trying to make.
“And here we are — we’ve made it, we have the talent, we have the ability, we have an adoring fanbase, we’ve sold, I don’t know, whatever it is — 30 million albums or more — and they’re hungry for it, and we just don’t do it. That’s like the worst — having the ability to do something and not doing it is, I think, the worst thing in the world as far as in the perspective of being an artist. You’re just hurting yourself.”
And as for a new full-length album? Well, again, it’s his bandmates’ problem:
“Yeah, if my band members listened to me and put everything to the side and just said, ‘Okay, let’s just go in and make the best album we can make and not care about where the music comes from or who wrote the lyrics or what this person did in the past.’ I’m willing to put all that aside. I’m not in a band that’ll do that, unfortunately.
BWAHAHAHAHAH, the dude who takes every moment to support some insane right-wing conspiracy theory wants his bandmates to just forget what this person did in the past. Classic.
Check out the interview below, but here’s a tip: if you’re in a group of people working together, and you think the problem is EVERYONE BUT YOU, guess what, sweetheart, you’re the problem.

WASHINGTON -- More fathers are going solo in raising kids.
It's a change that single fathers say shows greater acceptance by American families and courts that sometimes the best place for children is with Dad.
The 2000 census found:
-- In 2.2 million households, fathers raise their children without a mother. That's about one household in 45.
-- The number of single-father households rose 62 percent in 10 years.
-- The portion of households headed by fathers with children living there doubled in a decade, to 2 percent.
Single fathers say the numbers help tear down a long-standing conception that single fathers tend to abandon their kids, or at least not take as good care of them as single moms, said Vince Regan, an Internet consultant from Grand Rapids, Mich., who is raising five kids on his own.
''In time, it goes a long way to helping society think that single fathers do help their kids and want to be part of their lives,'' he said.
Thomas Coleman, executive director of the American Association for Single People, attributed the rise in single dads to a variety of reasons, including more judges awarding custody to fathers in divorce cases and more women choosing their jobs over family life.
The percentage increase in single-father households far outpaced other living arrangements. The ''Ozzie and Harriett'' household, where both parents raise the children like on the old TV show, increased by 6 percent, and single-mother homes were up by 25 percent.
Father-headed households are still only a small percentage. Married couples with children make up 24 percent of all households.
They were 39 percent of all homes in 1970. Single-mother homes made up 7 percent of households in 2000, up from 5 percent over 30 years ago.
Single fathers ''need help just as much as single mothers,'' said Darryl Pure, a psychologist from Chicago who has had sole custody of his three children for four years, but they have a harder time asking.
''There's often a fear among single fathers that if the mother steps in, she'll regain custody, so single, custodial fathers don't go after child support as much as single mothers do, and I know a lot of fathers that are really impoverished,'' Pure said.
The Census Bureau counts single fathers in a category that could allow other adults, such as the child's grandparents, to be present, but bureau analysts said research shows that most of the men in the category are raising a child alone.
The bureau released basic figures for 21 states and the District of Columbia this week on topics ranging from age to home ownership.
Other states are scheduled to be released later this month.
According to 2000 census data being released Friday, some of the biggest increase in single-father households occurred in southern and western states: up 126 percent in Nevada, and 74 percent in Delaware.

Off To that Great Klavern In the Sky
Well, "in the sky" might be a little too optimistic:
Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the longest-serving senator in American history, died Monday at the age of 92, a spokesman for the family said.
Byrd, a Democrat who served in the U.S. Senate since 1959, had been plagued by health problems in recent years and was confined to a wheelchair. He had skipped several votes in Congress in the past months.
Jesse Jacobs, a family spokesman, said Byrd died peacefully at about 3 a.m. at Inova Hospital in Fairfax, Va.
He was the oldest member of the 111th Congress and the last Exalted Cyclops in a long and embarrassing line of "reformed" Ku Klux members in the Democratic Party.
I may have edited that last line a little bit for the sake of accuracy.
Posted by Confederate Yankee at June 28, 2010 06:31 AM
Heard radio coverage of his death all morning on the radio. Nothing but praise and admiration, not a mention of his history.
We need a constitutional amendment preventing ANYONE from being a career politician for 50 years.
Because elections aren't.
One of the better lines I have seen:
The Kleagle has landed! (In Hell)
One of the Charleston, WV newspapers in their front page mentioned his career as primarily one for pork for WV. When he first entered the House in 1952, there were 4 miles of divided four lane road there. Now, there are 2000+ miles, and an endless number of things named for him.
Best reporting on the departed sheet-wearer I've seen all day. After initially not reporting on it, Yahoo News now has this line in their story about Bryd:
"Byrd's accomplishments followed a childhood of poverty in West Virginia, and his success on the national stage came despite a complicated history on racial matters. As a young man, he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan for a brief period, and he joined Southern Democrats in an unsuccessful filibuster against the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act."
Boy, is that an understatement! Forgot to mention that he was in charge of recruting for the Klan.
Tarheel Repub Out!
Finally, Byrd has gone to a place where they not only say they judge impartially, but where they actually do so. I wish him well on his journey in the hereafter, but I suspect he will be somewhat dismayed at his appropriately impartial place of eternal non bliss.
This is so totally wrong, I need to ask forgiveness in advance, but a song keeps going through my head, from munchkin land. It starts with the words, "Ding, Dong...."
Well, we can cross NPR of the list. They mention his Klan affiliation in their front page article:
That takes care of the NY times, too. They talk about his Klan affiliation for several paragraphs in their front page obituary:
The NY Post failed to mention it, which is strange, seeing as how its a Murdoch rag. Usually pretty conservative. Maybe we can write them a letter.
He followed the way of the cross. Sometimes it was burning.
The Kleagle Has Landed (In Hell)
Hey, that was my headline! Thanks for the compliment!

LV= hires Greenlight for its life and pensions business
LV=, the insurance brand, has appointed digital agency Greenlight to the digital account for its life and pensions business, ending its relationship with Harvest Digital.
Greenlight will be charged with conceiving and developing a digital strategy for LV=’s life and pension insurance products and implementing paid media and search campaigns.
LV= kicked of a review of its digital marketing requirements in March and hired Steak to work on its general insurance business, which includes car, home, pet and travel insurance, in September.
Greenlight will look to make LV=’s search marketing more efficient by reducing its life and pension division’s use of paid search in favour of improving its search engine optimisation.
LV= has also asked Greenlight to overhaul its Google Adwords structure and develop performance display campaigns to increase brand awareness and, ultimately, sales.
Lee Noon, Head of Life Digital Marketing, LV=, said: "We’ve been through a detailed tender process which started back in March 2012 to find the right agency to support our future growth plans.
"Greenlight has an outstanding reputation and strong track record for delivering high performing digital campaigns, and we look forward to working with them."
Harvest Digital was the incumbent on the general insurance as well as life and pensions business and is understood to have repitched for both parts of the business.Follow @MaisieMcCabe

FUTUTES REHAB, Inc.® has certified clinicians and technicians who preform both Spirometry and Respirator Fit Testing for our employer clients. We provide both in-clinic and on-site services to meet the needs of our employers clients.
Many different industries and job classes require use of a respirator to help reduce employee exposure to dangerous particulates and fumes in the workplace. OSHA recommends yearly spirometry testing for employees utilizing a respirator.
Spirometry testing helps identify any obstruction or restriction in the small/large airways of the lungs that may impact the employee’s ability to safely use a respirator. Spirometry may also help identify any sudden changes in an employee’s respiratory health to help facilitate appropriate medical interventions for the employee.
Respirator Fit Testing helps ensure the employee is in the proper type, size, and receiving adequate protection from the respirator. The technicians and clinicians will also inspect the respirator for any missing valves or parts, tears in the silicone/rubber areas, general cleanliness, and overall wear and tear ensuring the respirator is in good working order for the employee.

BACK TO THE JURASSIC 3-D
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/LVYCvSwuO84″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]“Back to the Jurassic” is a kid friendly animated film about a couple of kids that travel back in time. They meet some dinosaurs and bring back a dinosaur to the present. Their adopted dino mom tries to set things right, while the synergy to tie into “Jurassic World” is almost too much to handle. Kids will laugh and cheer, while parents will enjoy 85 minutes of peace.
There’s something about seeing these kinds of movies in 3D High Definition. I talk about the spectacle factor helping out kiddie movies a lot. Honestly, it’s the only thing that got me through this movie. While the DVD took a lot out of me, I found myself rewatching the film in 3D and enjoying the action pieces far more. The voice acting is still wonky.
The 3D transfer sports dynamic field of range. The 1080p transfer is well defined, but the Dolby 5.1 transfer is lossy. The animation effects are insane and leave me in wonder. Especially when you consider that it’s an indie production. There are no special features. But, it beats the DVD.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Release Date: 6/9/15[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Both jQuery Mobile and Ruby on Rails are widely popular frameworks. In part because of the ubiquity of its namesake parent framework, jQuery Mobile has become arguably the most popular framework for building mobile web applications or, in many cases, PhoneGap applications using web standards. Nonetheless, the two frameworks have some rough edges when working together. Thankfully, John Bender shows how all of these rough edges can be smoothed out in his recent article for the ADC.
John is a member of the team here at Adobe that contributes to the development of jQuery Mobile as well as a well-known speaker and OSS contributor. His article shows how to get your JQM/Rails project set up, manage layout, handle form validation, fix potential data attributes conflicts and work with debugging. He has identified these areas specifically as potential pain points in integration but, hopefully, using this article you will not feel the pain. So, if you are using Rails and jQuery Mobile, be sure to give John’s article, “Integrating Rails and jQuery Mobile,” a read.

IRDAI has asked life insurers not to withhold or delay settlement of claims of policyholders if there is any objection from claimants to fill the discharge voucher.
Discharge voucher is required to be furnished by claimants before raising a claim.
It is a standard practice by life insurers to inform about maturity date and amount of a claim to policyholders through a blank discharge voucher about 2-3 months in advance.
Policyholders have to furnish the information in discharge voucher and submit it back to the insurance company to raise a claim.
“Where the policyholder/claimant expresses unwillingness or reluctance or objection for any reason to execute the advance discharge voucher or to accept the amount, the Life Insurer should not insist on the discharge voucher or make it conditional for releasing the policy payment”, IRDAI said in a circular issued today.
In such an event the life insurer shall not withhold or delay the payment for this reason but make the policy payment to discharge its contractual obligations, it said further, adding the life insurer may preserve the proof of making the payment.
The discharge voucher sent to policyholder/claimant should necessarily contain policy number and the nature of payment and amount of claim under different heads including deductions, if any, and other relevant details, IRDAI said.
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI) said the provision was being made to protect the interests of policyholders as well as keeping in view the legal principles.
Contractual obligations are discharged by life insurers when making policy payments in cases of maturity or death claims or surrender of policy.

Here are some photos of Fraser's 4-Seasons Stainless frameset. It's built for use with long reach brakes and with room for fenders & etc. The shiny logo areas are the polished stainless tubes showing through. This bike was inspired by one that I worked on with V'Salon Member Ben last spring, and took to Nahbs.
Thank you for taking a look!

Louise has been on an amazing tour of Europe (check out her blog for details and great photos) and was just swinging by London so we got together.
You must all be wondering what Louise looks like. Here she is:
Isn't she just super cute and gorgeous? MaiTai devotees: please note the Twilly artfully arranged.
I wore black and white stripes, as usual, and popped a Manolo Blahnik-designed scarf on. Don't look too closely at my chin, I seem to have gone a bit whiskery.
Ha ha Mrs B, you and your little jokes. Below is the real Louise, in action at Libertys of London where we met up. Louise cleverly recognised me as I was lurking by the marked down greeting cards (I was wondering whether I should buy some birth announcement cards and adapt them into thank you cards but was worried that might cause confusion:" Mr and Mrs Blighty are delighted to announce the safe delivery of their new toaster, weighing 1.2 kilos, courtesy of Auntie Norah, both toaster and white sliced loaf are doing well...")
As you can see the real Louise is indeed super cute and gorgeous, with the most beautiful hair, naturally curly. I come from a family of straight, hanging limply down hair and so does Mr B, so I find curly hair irresistible. I am now in a position to confirm, having carried out extensive research (meeting Faux Fuchsia and now Louise) that the women of Queensland are very attractive. It must be the climate.
We sat in Libertys and had two coffees each and chatted for Olympic Gold for our respective countries, occasionally pausing to breathe and/or listen to what the other one was saying! It was such fun, Louise is very interesting and knowledgeable about so many things - art, archaeology, chihuahuas, boats, sailing, teaching, diving, travel in subzero temperatures to name but a few of her areas of expertise. We talked about our mutual blogcrush, Faux Fuchsia; we were like a couple of schoolgirls discussing the prettiest girl in the school - " Well, I actually saw her put her nail polish on " I found myself boasting.
Eventually we dragged ourselves out of Libertys, (still chatting so much that Louise had to go back for her umbrella) and toddled off down Regents Street. By a weird cosmic coincidence, Hamleys, probably the biggest and best known toyshop in London and the place where Boy 2 sourced the bushbaby toy that later become famous as Blighty (er, this is getting a bit overblown, no?), had window display after window display of the same sort of bushbaby toy.
These ones are Space Blights. (In fact they are called YooHoos; I was very excited to impart this info to Boy 2 when I got home; he coolly replied, "Yeah, I know, it says on the label, but I call him NubNub, it's a better name...).
After Regent Street, we Tubed it up big time (trade mark, copyright FF 2010/11) and landed up at the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington. Where we had a blast, involving lunch, getting lost in the labyrinthine layout of the museum, looking at a replica of Kylie Minogue's dressing room from her something or other Tour and also seeing Dame Edna's egg and bacon costume (as Louise so astutely pointed out because Louise has pursued High Level and Erudite Studies in Fine Art, Dame E beat Lady GaGa to the food as clothes thing by years); in short I showed Louise the best that British culture can offer the overseas visitor.
Of course, as usual in all the excitement I forgot to take pics but don't worry, Louise has got it covered.
Before we knew it, the day had whizzed by, we had a quick but thorough rummage round the superior V&A gift shop. I might have been defeated by the Libertys greetings cards but I succeeded in picking up some discounted Christmas decorations, having vowed that one day my tree would be like FF's: never undecorated.

What comes to mind when you consider the qualities of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant? Is it affordable accessibility akin to say, swinging by a hot dog stand or cruising through a drive-thru? Or, on the other end of the spectrum, is it high-end exclusivity at a price — literal or figurative — that precludes the vast majority of us from partaking?
tap here to see other videos from our team.
It’s a bit rich, then, that the very same establishment that has built its brand on codifying culinary luxury should find a dining experience simply too sublimely covetable to be included. But that’s exactly what appears to have happened to Tokyo’s Sukiyabashi Jiro.
Run by esteemed chef Jiro Ono and his eldest son, Yoshikazu, the restaurant shot to mainstream fame with the 2011 documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, and counts the likes of Barack Obama and Japanese prime minister Shinzō Abe as guests. After being awarded the maximum number of stars every year since the inaugural Tokyo edition was published in 2007, Michelin now deems the legendary 10-seat sushi restaurant inadmissible for the 2020 guide. Why? Because it doesn’t accept reservations from the general public.

Man is born with an inherent instinct for self-preservation. Science teaches that it is the first law of nature. Self-preservation is an instinctive tendency to ensure one’s safety and survival, at best, and one’s self-seeking and greed, at worst. This instinct is perverted when man abandons his divine nature and violates God’s rightful dominion in his life descending into bestial behaviors of prejudice, hatred, and violence to advance his own desires.
Perhaps as perplexing a demise, and a close kin of self-preservation, is man’s self-deification – the elevation of oneself to the rank of God. This is called authotheism. Autotheism is the ultimate and most persistent sin of the human race. It is rooted in the view that God is nothing more than a conception of the self. Accordingly, each individual is a god unto themselves, creating and directing their own reality, living according to the counsel of their own will and, to put it plainly, worshiping themselves.
This posture of authotheism is not only found among secular humanists or atheists but also among Christians. Self-deification is more subtle and widespread than many assume. It can manifest in simple actions and attitudes where we exalt ourselves to the place that only the Spirit of God should occupy.
Religion is really a form of autotheism. It pays lip service to God, but elevates man to the place of prominence. Today, there are countless ministries who profess God’s name but whose ministries are fundamentally motivated by the spirit of authotheism. The object of their ministry is Adam. When they speak of becoming the “best version of yourself” or developing your “inner self”, what they are ministering to is the corrupted soul of man rather than the regenerated spirit. They speak of maturity in Christ as just another expression for self-actualization. The notions of trials, sufferings and tribulations are often rejected to ensure the comfort and preservation of self. In so many words, what is promoted is man’s self-sufficiency apart from complete surrender to Christ the Head.
Speaking of this condition of self-deification, the Holy Spirit warns:
“the man of sin… opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” (2 Thes. 2:4).
The divine agenda of God in this hour concerns the consecration of His temple from the defilement of self. Dear beloved, we are the temple of God – the dwelling place of His divine nature. It is there that we touch heaven, worship Him in the spirit, assimilate His truth, and reveal His glory. But it is also there that our will, our ways and our carnal imaginations exalt themselves against the knowledge of God.
Despite this, the temple is precious to God. For “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are” (1 Cor. 3:17). Defilement of the temple originates from within by way of the fleshy nature of man’s Adamic consciousness. Adam has been an uninvited guest who worships and ministers in the temple of God. Jesus warned: “when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place’ (whoever reads, let him understand)” (Mat. 24:15). Six hundred years earlier, Daniel had prophesied regarding the King of the North saying: “forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation” (Dan. 11:31).
The abomination of desolation is the self-ego of our carnal mind that sits in the temple of God posing as the divine orchestrator of our life. He perverts the order of the temple replacing it with the methods and traditions of man. This is the same man which Paul identified as the man who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God and who sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God (2 Thes. 2:4).
I trust that it is abundantly clear that the temple which the man of sin defiles is not some church building or the temple in Jerusalem. In the above text, the word “temple” (Greek: naos) refers not to the temple proper (Greek: hieron) but to the inner sanctuary of the Most Holy place. Metaphorically, it typifies the spiritual temple; the dwelling place of God in the individual and comprising of the saints of all ages joined together in Christ. Therefore, when Adam occupies and dictates your thoughts, your ambitions, your plans, your dreams, your emotions, your attention, your conduct, your attitude, your identity – he is occupying the seat that belongs to God in the temple.
That the man of sin “sits” in the temple of God shows the extent of his self-deification. In the arrangement of the old temple, nowhere else could this man sit than on the mercy seat of the Ark – the seat only ordained for the Lord and where He manifested His divine presence (Psa. 99:1). But the man of sin insolently occupies this position, resisting God and defiling the holy place by posing as the Head of the temple.
However, Jesus also speaks of him as “standing in the holy place” (Mat. 24:15). Standing signifies the act of ministry. It was customary for the high priest to stand and minster in the holy place. But, we read that the man of sin also stands in that place carrying out priestly duties. Adam is an expert imitator. He teaches. He preaches. He prophecies. He heals. He exorcises. He worships. Paul warns that: “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception” (2 Thes. 2:9-10).
We see this phenomenon typified in the life of Uzziah, who is a type of the man of sin. Uzziah was so exalted with pride in his Adamic identity that he entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar. Imagine the delusion of the act – trespassing to offer worship to the Lord. But mind you, this is not far-detached from much of what we call ministry and worship today. Uzziah’s action is a picture of the soul-worship of our time, what Paul calls: will-worship, self-imposed worship, and self-made religion (Col. 2:23). The worship of the soul is as diabolical an act as the behavior of Uzziah. The self-prescribed worship of Adam is repulsive in the sight of the Lord. It is the worship of fools. The man who ministers to the Lord out of the wellspring of his soul, the man who seeks the Lord for his own profit, the man who jumps and dances in the guise of worship to gratify his fleshy passions… are but the conducts of the indwelling Uzziah.
Eight priests, valiant men, could not prevent Uzziah from burning incense in the temple. He withstood them. Only when the Lord had stricken Uzziah did he hurry to go out of the temple. Only Christ can do away with the lawless one in our temple. Uzziah eventually died a leper and only after his death do we read the accounts of Isaiah’s glorious encounter with the Lord in the temple (Isa. 6). Dear beloved, this trespasser needs to die in each of us. For only in his death will we experience the Lord seated on the throne of our hearts, high and lifted up, reigning, ministering and filling His temple with His glory.
“When you see the abomination”
The revelation of the man of sin is a precursor to his destruction. “And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming” (2 Thes. 2:8). The word ‘revealed’ is the Greek ‘apokalupto’. The word is also used in reference to the revelation of Jesus Christ (e.g. Rev. 1:1). Apokalupto means to uncover. The opposite of ‘apokalupto’ is ‘kalupto’ – “to cover up” or “to hinder the knowledge of a thing”. That the lawless one “will be revealed” suggests that he remains veiled, that is, hidden and unknown among some.
This man is an enigma. He remains a mystery, largely undiscerned by the religious masses. In fact, a great deal of what is called ministry today is ministry that protects that man by veiling him. Among majority of the Lord’s people, there is a general unawareness of who their true enemy is. Some contend against Satan and his legion, with fleshly tactics nonetheless. While others acknowledge the carnal mind as the enemy of Christ, although the focus of their ministry, their programs and teachings say otherwise. A revelation of that man remains to take place.
So, of what significance is the revelation of the man of sin? Dear beloved, once the lawless one is revealed, once his identity and devices are exposed in us, we cannot carry on with business as usual. The revelation of this man is like the discovery of Uzziah in the temple. It calls for our undivided attention. Thus, Jesus warns: “when you see the abomination”, let him who reads (i.e. distinguishes, recognizes) understand!
A true revelation of the Adamic nature will lead to a spiritual reorientation. Those who are experiencing this will begin to fervently seek the “spirit of His mouth” – His words that are spirit and life and that cut like a double edge sword (Rev. 1:16). Truly the revelation of the man of sin will cause men to turn on themselves the sword of the spirit. It will cause them to seek the One who comes riding on their earth conquering and to conquer.
This is the effectual working of the inspired Word of God. Dear saint, do not take lightly the power of the logos. Treasure the word that the Lord is speaking into your heart in this hour. For the word that is going forth from God’s mouth will not return to Him void. Therein is power to consume and destroy everything of Adam. Therein is life to quicken us within to discover and apprehend our real self, our true identity as the sons of God. Christ alone is worthy and able to clear our heavens of all idols, to free us from our self-deification, to separate us from the carnal traps of religion, and to quicken us to apprehend the manifestation of His indwelling life.
May God purge our hearts and establish us in the life and victory of His Christ!

...the white princess of mykonos...
...the most photographed monument on the island...
"...It is an inspired architectural complex of five churches. Four of them are on the ground and one on the roof, elevated, that being Paraportiani itself. The ground floor of the complex consists of Ayios Efstathios, to the east, touching on two of the three churches built in a line: Ayioi Anargyroi, the oldest, in the middle, and Ayios Sozontas to the west. To the south the chapel of Ayia Anastasia touches on Ayioi Anargyroi.
The church of Paraportiani itself is built above Ayios Efstathios and is reached by an exterior stone staircase on the east side.
It is thus named because it is located near the small gate, the "side door" ("paraportiani") of the wall of the medieval castle of Mykonos.
It is conjectured that the complex was built gradually during the 16th and the 17th century, but most likely even earlier.
Its interior ornamentation is not of real importance but it is of major architectural importance.
The passage of time, and chance, have contributed to the formation of the external morphology, creating, through deterioration and damage, a unique aesthetic whole..."

I was expected a man walking in a subway or a room or something.
I'm surprised to see this photograph in your collection :)
Technically I like it, although I'd prefer the coloured version, as a lover of colour :)
The white church and the dark sky creates a lovely addition. (I suppose you have used a polarizer filter to make the sky so dark, or PS).
The POV is working fine too.
But the most remarkable thing in this one is the balanced exposure. The whites are captured perfectly, and so are the midtones. RAW enhancer?
Quite difficult scene I'd have a similar result after some work in RAW.
take care file
ribeiroantonio (22637) 2008-04-02 3:22
The photo and the conversion to B&W is very good as it is too the POV. Regarding the background on the left, it is quite out of architectural style and I would have cloned the antenna on the roof. Otherwise it must be a very nice place.
japiey (10163) 2008-04-02 3:23
Good shot , and a well written note.
Beautifully composed with fine lights.
Sepia creates a different mood of expression here....
All the best, dear friend:)

Merhaba!Dr. The result with camera small perfect and him I love a lot I praise here Korkut. Improbable the recording the important place and my white love white, in order that I like islands. Find a way to remove the building opjscen left and you have a advertising poster perfect.

nice the view of Paraportiani with this extra white colour that bring out from the Sepia format.Excellent the light that floodlight the little chapel that is well known all around the world.The details and the clarity are unique.Informative your note too.

I wonder how many people would have thought to do this in sepia! It's not the most obvious choice, but you are one of the innovators on TE. You know I have a preference for colour (too conventional by far) but I must admit this has a wonderful appeal, with the strong contrast. Good work
evanrizo (456) 2008-04-02 10:25
Hi Korkut, an other clever result with this chose to post it with this color tons.
The parts of the church they are stronger illuminated have a great contrast with the other part.
It works very atmospheric.
Have a nice evening.

Ama Andreas diyor ki sen touristy yerleri seviyormussun. Gerci ben oralari bile gormedim ya. Bu guzelmis, neden silmistin ki? Su arkadaki binaya kil oldum bir tek, atmosferi bozuyor.

AN unusual view of Mykonos so...excellent. That's really difficult!

beautiful image of this well-known church with great contrast and lighting!
Very good POV and framing too,
azaf1 (15929) 2008-04-03 0:55
Chocolate time, Korkut!
Excellent color and great POV with amazing contrast and play with light and shadows. Your frame has really captured the architectural beauty of the small church
alibasarir (15580) 2008-04-03 3:12
merhaba korkut bey
mükemmel bir kompozisyon.koyu tonlar içinde ışık alan kilisenin görüntüsü son derece güzel görünüyor.ayrıca netlik ve detaylarda harika elinize sağlık.
syd1946 (18663) 2008-04-03 4:45
The low light conditions works very well here for the atmosphere...The white part of the small Church contrasting nice the rest of the dark frame.Very well composed file mou!
ifanik (21679) 2008-04-03 7:42
I like the sepia colour very much my friend
Wonderful art photo
Best regards file moy

Korkut bey selamlar,
Harika bir mimari,harika bir ışık.yanılmıyorsam daha önce bu binanın önünde çektiğiniz yine muhteşem bir kareniz vardı.sepia tonları çok uymuş.başka bir dünyaya ait gibi.elinize sağlık.
burGu (4840) 2008-04-03 13:12
Ay sen bunu ne zaman yukledin, ben artik takip edemiyorum vallahi yorgun dustum TE'de... derseeeem sallama :)
Sepia tonlari cok dogal gozukuyor, sanki tasindan topragindan kumundan kaynaklaniyor gibi.
Eline gozune saglik
carper (96) 2008-04-03 23:54
a very nice one Korkut,
the title is well choosen here and the clear shot is nice and the composition is good very nice photojob here, have a nice day.
Photo65Net (43120) 2008-04-04 0:48
Light and your PP are great to enhance the building brightness.
Your framing is great, and this tinted BW creates great contrasts.
kpav (5031) 2008-04-04 3:13
Hello Korkut, excellent shot and very beautiful b&w. I like a lot the stong contrasts and the detailed shadows. Your note is very nice and informative too. Thanks for sharing.
MarcT (20964) 2008-04-04 4:07
Nice sepia treatment where everyone else would play on those famous blue-white colours which made the reputation of the place.
Cretense (68703) 2008-04-04 4:23
Geia sou bostani!
Back to Greece and your beloved Mykonos, huh? I think that you are in the mood of summer vacations! Well, you know how much I love this beautiful church, and I can assure you that your photo is outstanding! Congratulations!
delkoo (68) 2008-04-04 4:59
great black and white, your PP is very well done, the hues of white are successful.
gneufeld (15890) 2008-04-04 7:40
A very well balanced and striking composition. I think the contrasts are spot on and details perfect. Very well seen and TFS. Gerald
pboehringer (770) 2008-04-04 7:42
almost B&W but not completely. I love this inbetween two monochromatics. The composition is wonderful with the white building slightly off center. It contrasts so well against the rest of the image. Nice detail of VERY dark sky.
euryan (8440) 2008-04-04 10:10
The B&W looks great. The dark sky is great background for the white church. This reminds me very much of the old churches in New Mexico. The architecture is very similar, and your sepia tones remind me of Ansel Adams work.
jafadabret (56501) 2008-04-04 11:19
Cette église blanche semble uns sculpture dans un décor sombre.
L'effet est saisissant et le traitement en B&W renforce encore cette ambiance tragique.
siolaw (38292) 2008-04-05 0:34
I like this dramatic feeling due to a fine B&W conversion with excellent contrast level,and nice sharp detail. Framing and POV are also fine
Tezic (17867) 2008-04-05 3:48
ışık-gölge, doku-detay hepsi enfes.. beyazın tonu ve konumu ise oldukça çarpıcı olmuş... çok beğendim... tebrikler...
Ps. İş açısından oldukça yoğunum bu aralar... İlk İstanbul seferimde arayacağım seni.. selamlar...
vincz (19113) 2008-04-06 2:48
Very interesting black and white treatment resulting indeed in a "snow white" feeling, both in terns of colors and textures. Great work.
xavshot (69835) 2008-04-06 8:41
le n&b est un excellent choix et permet d'appuyer le graphisme de cette architecture. j'aime beaucoup les contrastes et la succession ombre et lumière. Bravo.
riclopes (35577) 2008-04-06 9:24
...and his ugly friend, right in front of her ;-) The beauty and the monster are chat companions since ever :) Marvellous monochromatic presentation, Korkut. Love the textures and the nostalgic mood.
Gerrit (51935) 2008-04-06 12:58
Beautiful place and composition. Excellent light ande tones.
stego (24132) 2008-04-06 19:12
How am feeling a lot like you, longing for Summer or just for holidays. This one gives me mixed feelings, because it is so wonderful, but at the same time it reminds me my plans of visiting Greece next Summer that I had to postpone again because of my wife's agenda.
It's a great compo, specially for its graphical arrangement and high contrast light. It reminds me much of the Tunisian island of Djerba although there they have mosques instead of churches.
ryno (6865) 2008-04-07 5:09
Hi Korkut, I love the play of light and shadow here - nothing like a whitewashed building and a stone wall to bring out the best of that. A very evocative photo and with summer coming, a reminder of the attraction of the Greek islands. Aferin!
brevbrev14 (140) 2008-04-08 7:52
Ahhhh Kiklades!!! i love these islands.....
very good image, as usual, i like your conversion tone...it is original for the Kiklades islands..always in colours
very good Korkut!

Support is often the forgotten partner in any DevOps initiative. Where we have come a long way in making sure development partners well with operations to get new releases up and running in a smooth and always faster manner, ITSM support professionals still feel like the wallflower at the continuous delivery/deployment party. The customer experience will, however, gain a lot from an awesome choreographed dance routine between ITSM and DevOps, so it is time for ITSM to become a star instead of a wallflower.
There are multiple stakeholders to consider with any new release, and they all have their own priorities and tasks. Development will be producing code as fast as they can to fulfill business needs. Operations will have to make sure the new releases are being deployed smoothly while existing services remain stable, all while minimizing downtime and keeping a fast pace. Security will have the accountability of minimizing or even eliminating risks, which usually means slowing things down. The business, on their end, will want to make sure the customers are happy, so they have everything to gain from increased speed while keeping up the quality. And then there’s the ITSM support professionals who will not only be following up on existing incidents, but now will encounter incidents about these new and faster releases, making knowledge management and getting out of a reactive approach ever more important.
Conflicting interests, you might say at first glance. Look at a dance party; everyone will have different backgrounds and styles. I have a classical ballet and a ballroom dance background, while others might have tap dance or hip-hop dance schooling. But, in the end, we all just want to have fun at the party. When it comes to the business, development, operations, and support, don’t we all just want to create a magnificent customer experience? Knowing the common goal is that first, ever-so-important step to a great partnership.
Assumptions Make You Step On Each Other’s Toes
Wanting to have fun at a dance party is great, but how do you know the dance moves and even which foot to start the dance with? Or in other words, how do we make the collaboration work, because having a common goal is not enough. You have probably heard the following repeatedly: “Assumptions are always wrong.” Mostly, that is right, however, the one assumption you should make in any collaboration is that you and the others do not understand each other. Even if you use very similar words, or they at least sound familiar, it is always best to assume you are speaking different languages.
DevOps and support typically use their own frameworks or best practices that each have their own emphasis. Where DevOps uses Agile, ITSM typically uses an ITIL approach. These different backgrounds make a great collaboration hard, if not impossible, at least at first glance. It’s like if I were to dance a waltz with a hip-hop dancer; it does not matter how experienced we both are as dancers, someone is bound to be stepping on someone’s toes.
When DevOps and ITSM professionals speak about their assumptions, that makes collaboration so much smoother. It is easy to assume that Agile and ITIL are contradictory, because ITIL is more process oriented and Agile talks about “individuals and interactions over processes and tools.” However, Agile never said individuals and interactions without processes; the emphasis is just more on the first part.
Create that Dance Routine—ITIL 4 to the Rescue?
ITIL 4 introduced some great changes to get to better collaboration between DevOps and ITSM. There is a clear shift from processes towards realizing outcomes. The guiding principles give us practical handholds to get the DevOps-ITSM party going:
Focus on value. The outcomes that we want to realize obviously have to bring value. This principle ties in nicely with our common goal of a magnificent customer experience, because value is nothing more and nothing less than what the consumer of the service experiences.
Progress iteratively with feedback. Break big projects down into small steps, each with their deliverables, and actively look for feedback at every step. Keeping an open communication line with all parties involved and openly seeking input will avoid you having to make assumptions.
Collaborate and promote visibility. Collaborate everywhere, with service providers, clients, users, development, operations, support, the business, etc. Anything that impacts the customer experience is relevant data that needs to be made insightful for all parties involved, including your customers. It will not only enable better decisions but also increase accountability and thus lead to better outcomes.
Bidirectional communication lines will give you all the insights you need. Development and operations know when something is going to happen that will impact the customer experience and which customers are involved. The other way around, support will get direct feedback on any new features or services—good if value is being perceived and bad if things do not work as expected or in case of bugs. Master this communication loop, and you will immediately see positive effects on your customer experience.
Join the Party
All in all, DevOps and ITSM are better dance partners than you might think at first glance, and when there is enough communication without assumptions, they are very complementary to achieve that common goal of a magnificent customer experience. So, ITSM professionals, don’t be a wallflower and wait to be asked to dance. Rather, be the star. Tap on those DevOps professionals’ shoulders and be part of the dance party.
DevOps and ITSM are better dance partners than you might think at first glance.

Want to see exciting new acting talent performing your original play?
East 15 Acting School are looking for a new play to stage as part of their BA Acting final-year showcases.
The winning play will be performed a minimum of three times at the Tristan Bates Theatre in Covent Garden during the fortnight commencing 27 May 2013, by a company of final-year BA Acting students directed by Zoe Waterman.
Other plays within this series will be a new play written and directed by Anthony Clark, former Artistic Director of Hampstead Theatre, and a new play sourced from The Royal Court writers group and directed by Lucy Skilbeck.
The winning playwright will:
• See a large-scale, professionally trained cast perform their work.
• See their work directed by a professional director and supported by a professional technical crew.
• Showcase their work to the industry in a minimum of three performances for which they will receive two free tickets per performance.
• Receive a performance-rights fee of £70 per show.
Only examples of new writing will be considered. Adaptations, screenplays, treatments, radio plays, prose, poetry or scripts for non-live performance will not be considered. Plays should be longer than one hour but no longer than two hours in duration, and must feature a minimum of seven and maximum of fifteen roles that will provide actors with a challenge. When selecting a play to submit be mindful of the fact the majority of performers will be in their early-to-mid 20s.
You can only submit one play, and you will not be allowed to resubmit amended or edited scripts. If your play is selected, you must be able to meet with the production team at East 15 Acting School during March 2013. You must be willing to see your work edited/amended by the production team.
This brief closes on Wednesday 30 January at 12pm and is open to IdeasTap members aged 18 and above. If you have any technical queries, visit the help centre. Late entries will not be accepted under any circumstances, including technical issues – so make sure you don’t leave your application to the last minute.

GRANT DAVIS is an actor, singer and activist who says he was born to play Benjamin Bentley. He’s had several roles on film and television, and has released his first album. His musical style combines classic pop and adult contemporary genres with a jazzy edge. He’s also done his own TED talk.
Grant, 18, is a native of Carson City, Nev., who now lives in San Diego. He has packed a lot of experience into his young life, and it showed in the multiple auditions he had to undertake for the role of Ben Bentley.
Grant’s musical style combines classic pop and adult contemporary genres with a jazzy edge reminiscent of Josh Groban, Michael Buble and Chris Botti. He cites singer Sam Harris as an inspiration, prompting a reply from Harris himself.
“I was thrilled when I heard that this talented young man … mentions me as his inspiration,” Harris said.
Grant first came to national attention via NPR with his heartfelt song, “Just a Child.” The song chronicles his own family’s emotional struggle with his teen sister’s drug abuse.
Grant went on to advocate on behalf of families struggling with drug abuse at a TEDx Talk the following year at the University of Nevada, titled “What About Me?”
Grant’s acting credits include roles in the film Dam California, and the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives. His theater credits include Rent, Hairspray and Into the Woods. He has sung in hundreds of live performances.
Ben came out of the closet when he was 14, and it was a less-than-liberating experience. Now 17, he’s a pariah in his suburban Texas high school, the subject of furtive whispers and outright bullying. But everything changes that summer, the summer of the arson fires and the summer he first sets eyes on Tim Wyman. A gifted singer, Ben keeps his talent as hidden as the feelings that start to stir between him and a reluctant Tim.
AJIONA ALEXUS is an actress and singer who is breaking barriers on her way to succeed in the television, film and music industries. She is best known for her role as DeAnna on TVOne’s hit series, The Rickey Smiley Show.
Ajiona was born in Tuskegee, Ala., and then grew up in Birmingham. She was 8 when she recited her first monologue on stage. She went right into acting and dance classes, and in the 7th grade was accepted into the Alabama School of Fine Arts.
She won acclaim for her stage performance in “A Raisin in the Sun,” then began auditioning for film and TV roles. At 14, she landed her first lead role in the feature, Unspoken Words. Just a few months later, she booked the role of DeAnna on The Rickey Smiley Show.
Born into a family of singers and musicians, Ajiona has never hesitated to showcase her triple-threat talent. She has opened for artists like Diggy Simmons, OMG Girlz, TK N Cash and IYAZ. In 2012, she release a mix-tape titled, “Radio Ready,” and in 2013, she recorded her debut single, “Dream Big,” under Earn B. Management. Ajiona is currently recording songs for her debut EP. Click on that YouTube social icon under her photo up above and listen/watch her music video. You won’t regret it.
Allison is Ben’s most loyal friend. A talented singer in her own right, she tries to help Ben get past his fear of performing in public, and supports him through the years as he struggles to find love, and then to choose between the two great loves of his life.
TRISTAN DECKER is a Portland, Ore.-based actor with extensive stage, commercial and vocal performance credits.
Tristan’s stage experience includes shows like Oliver!, Once Upon a Mattress and The Importance of Being Earnest. He is also a gifted singer, guitarist and bassist.
He has sung with two Grammy Award-winning jazz artists, Esperanza Spalding and Kurt Elling. He studies at the Act Now studio under Katie O’Grady.
Handsome and seemingly self-assured, Bryce welcomes new guy Tim to The Woodlands High School’s most popular clique. But Bryce harbors his own secrets, and his own demons, and he doesn’t like the way Ben follows Tim around.
DAVI SANTOS is a talented actor, writer, producer and director, whose short film, The Cure, appeared at the Cannes Film Festival. He has had numerous guest-starring and recurring roles on the CW, ABC and ABC Family networks. He recently debuted as the Gold Ranger in Power Rangers: Dino Charge.
Davi Santos was born in Brazil and raised in New York City. He attended the Professional Performing Arts School alongside Connor Paolo, Sarah Hyland and Andrea Bowen.

A number of studies have proposed that wildlife passages beneath roads and railway lines might be exploited by mammalian predators as 'prey-traps' with prey-species being effectively funnelled into areas of high concentration. This proposition has raised the possibility that use of passages by predators may reduce the effectiveness of passages in conserving other forms of wildlife. We review the literature and conclude that evidence for the existence of prey-traps is scant, largely anecdotal and tends to indicate infrequent opportunism rather than the establishment of patterns of recurring predation. Most passage studies record no evidence of predation in or around passages. Conversely, there is some evidence that predator species use different passages than their prey.

FRM Preparation- How to Pass the FRM Exam
FRM Preparation- How to Pass the FRM Exam:- FRM is not as difficult as often projected. If you have Maths/engineering background, then go for Schweser, and if not then go for GARP material. You can definitely take help from some paid videos or even go for a tuition for better guidance. But if you want to self study, you can start studying the book and as soon as a chapter ends practice problems.
Keep noting down the ones you don’t get correct, try to understand why. Then when you complete your full material, just read the summary given at end of each chapter and then do those problems which you got incorrect at first time. If you are still getting more than 50% wrong, revise the concept fully and move to mock exams.
The first thing you need to do is to understand the syllabus corresponding to your part. Really understand it. You can’t find an all-inclusive study material for FRM. You will have to study the list of readings released by GARP. Read the recommended books, and see online videos. if you need.
Of course, the key is practice. You and your study partner should be finished with your course before one or two months of the exam. Spend this time practicing with your partner and reviewing your material.

FRM Preparation- Things NOT to do
- Read course like a novel
- One should not read whenever he gets time , like for 10 mins or 30 mins in a break .
- Reading all theory first and practicing it later .
FRM Preparation- Things to do
- Study for hours at a stretch .
- Sit with your material continuously for 2-3 hours .
- It doesn’t matter if you practice after each chapter as you wont be remembering any of it by the end of the preparation so keep practicing all at once after 1 full reading .
- Few online courses which costs around 7K INR gives video lectures and interactive webinars , that will be helpful .
- Practice more . If you start solving problems from day 1 then you dont need to study theory at all . You will understand concept while you practice problems.
- Start with Schwesars notes, read all books once even if you can’t grasp much. Then go for the FRM handbook by Philippe Jorion, its a super must and suggested by GARP itself! Its too tough to drill through but you will enjoy it. Repeat this cycle until you know you understand quite a lot now. There are several questions in between chapters those will help you learn a lot.
- After say 2 such cycles, start giving tests on schwesars question bank, its a software basically. Again very very helpful as there are 1500 such questions. You can prepare you own tests from simple medium and difficult category questions.
- Take 2 weeks off before exam and solve only schwesars exam booklets, there are two I guess.
Recommended Read:- All About FRM Exam – Preparation Study Materials
Path 1 : If you have more time
- Read core readings from GARP
- Read the books for each topics suggested in the syllabus
- Schweser notes
Path 2 : If you have less time
- Jump to Schweser notes directly
- Also watch video lectures by David Harper (available on youtube) on channel bionicturtle : , It is really helpful
- You can also read notes of bionic turtle ( ) to revise your concepts in the end .

When Melissa Taylor lost her job to a pandemic workforce reduction, she made lemonade and headed west.
“I knew with everything being closed down, I just wanted to see all this. I knew I’d never have this much time again.”
In late May, Taylor and her 7-year-old daughter Lydia packed up their Dodge Grand Caravan and hit the road, with a plan to visit as many national parks as they could. The road trip turned into a 45-day adventure of a lifetime.
The National Park System counts 419 sites and 84 million acres in all states and territories. But only 62 sites are labeled “parks”—White Sands in New Mexico being the newest, as of 2019. Add to them an abundance of sites in 20 other categories, from national lakeshores, scenic byways, and scenic riverways to national monuments, trails, and historic sites.
Taylor packed a cooler, more than three weeks worth of food, and a Jetboil propane burner for cooking. She purchased two national park guidebooks and the $80 annual America the Beautiful pass to cover all the entrance fees.
“And we just went west,” says Taylor, who lives in Wisconsin. They started with Theodore Roosevelt National Park at the far west side of North Dakota as their first destination.
“I never go all that way because normally you only have a week, maybe two max.” They had also already decided on their turnaround point: Taylor’s mother’s place near the coast of Oregon. “We wanted to be off the road by the Fourth of July.” Everything in between they made up as they went.
“Each spot we got to, I’d look ahead a bit, and just keep moving to the next closest national park.”
Stops included the iconic parks of Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier, but in between were the surprises, such as Spearfish Canyon, in South Dakota.
“We stopped there twice, going and coming. You are allowed to take rocks. Lydia played in the creek all day long.” This federally and state-managed Scenic Byway follows Spearfish Creek for 14 miles along the bottom of a canyon through the Black Hills National Forest. Devils Tower National Monument stands an hour to the west; a bit more than that east lies Badlands National Park.
They camped a short distance from D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery. In Washington, North Cascades State Park made the favorites list, and Olympic National Park “was straight out of National Geographic,” she says.
Staying the Night
Camping was their best option to keep the journey inexpensive and Taylor’s daughter took to it quickly.
“Lydia knew the routine: set up the tent, sleeping bags, her little light.”
But initially, many national or state park campgrounds were closed—although most have since reopened in some capacity.
“We ended up using a lot of KOAs [Kampgrounds of America] and they had really good social distancing,” Taylor says. A $30 membership for KOA paid for itself with a 10 percent discount on fees, and her accumulated reward points were enough for two free nights.
On Willapa Bay along Washington’s Pacific coastline, they stayed at Bay Center KOA, just north of Willapa National Wildlife Refuge.
“We planned to tent camp but the manager asked us, ‘Have you ever stayed in a yurt?’” she says. They hadn’t, but they did—for three nights. They walked to the water for sunsets and some clamming, and took part in scavenger hunts arranged by the campground.
In a pinch, Melissa and Lydia slept in their van at a wayside, with many other travelers doing the same. Velcro squares pasted in the back windows held blackout cloths at night for privacy.
Dispersed camping was another alternative. National forests allow for Leave No Trace tent camping within their properties. Not only is this a great adventure, but it’s also a saving grace for a road trip through the national parks, when camp closings or full occupancy might thwart the day’s plan.
Choose Your Own National Park Adventure
Taylor’s mother-daughter trip allowed them to explore America on a budget without a lot of detailed planning. Many others are doing something similar as the outdoors are well suited for distancing, and these are national treasures we so often don’t get the opportunity to appreciate. What are your options?
In anticipation of the 100-year anniversary of the National Park Service in 2016, I put together a proposed route for my own western park road trip, but ended up doing it with minor adjustments a year later. Also in 2016, data scientist Randy Olson mapped out the optimal route to hit all the national parks (minus three new ones since his project) throughout the lower 48 states, a drive clocking in at 14,498 miles.
For something a bit shorter, consider themes: Do you want to focus on a particular region close to or far from home? Do you prefer mountains, battlefields and history, waterways and shorelines, or forest vs. desert vs. prairie? As you dial in your route—and literally zoom in on the map—you will find additional state, county, and city parks to add as well as other roadside attractions.
Can you really drive from Rocky Mountain National Park to the Badlands without at least a photo op of Carhenge along the way? I’d say no.

Netherlands 4-1 Serbia
(Bakkal 17, Babel 60, Rigters 67, Bruins 87; Mrdja 79)
Twelve months after winning the UEFA European Under-21 Championship for the first time, the Netherlands retained the trophy in style with a 4-1 win against Serbia.
De Haan hero
The scoreline was tough on Serbia, who impressed throughout the competition less than a year after being granted full UEFA membership. But just as it had been in the final against Ukraine in Porto in 2006, this was to be the Netherlands' night, and in particular that of coach Foppe de Haan whose name rang round a packed Euroborg Stadion in Groningen at the final whistle. Before De Haan's appointment in 2004 the Netherlands had never won a UEFA competition at youth or U21 level. Now winning had become a habit.
The Jong Orange kicked off with a 1-0 victory against Israel at the Abe Lenstra stadium in Heerenveen where De Haan had made his name as coach. Only two of the side that had started the final twelve months previously were in the team here but the home fans quickly settled on a new favourite as Royston Drenthe set the game alight with some marauding runs down the left. He crossed for Hedwiges Maduro to score the only goal after ten minutes and proved the inspiration in the 2-1 victory against Portugal three days later that ensured the Dutch finished top of the section to qualify for the semi-finals and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
They were joined there by Belgium, who having drawn with Portugal and beaten Israel, earned their place in the last four with a pulsating 2-2 draw with the Dutch in Heerenveen. Belgium coach Jean-François De Sart said his side were "writing history for Belgian sport" and thousands of his compatriots poured over the border to cheer on his team in their semi-final against Serbia. The celebrations, though, soon died down as goals from Aleksandar Kolarov and Dragan Mrdja propelled Serbia into the final. Miroslav Djukić's side had sent out a clear warning with 1-0 victories against Italy and the Czech Republic, forcing England to settle for the runners-up spot despite beating the Serbs in their final Group B game.
After a goalless draw against the Czech Republic, Leroy Lita sparked England to life with a goal in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Italy. He hit another against Serbia and was on the scoresheet again against the Netherlands in the semi-final where his first-half strike looked likely to send England through until Maceo Rigters hit back with an overhead kick deep in added time. The match was decided by an epic shoot-out that the Netherlands won 13-12. In all 32 spot-kicks were needed to seperate the sides, and records were set for most goals scored in a UEFA competition match as well as most in a shoot-out. The hosts and holders ultimately emerged victorious when, almost three hours after kick-off, local Heerenveen hero Gianni Zuiverloon fired past Scott Carson.
There was another shoot-out the following night in Arnhem where Italy defeated Portugal after their play-off for the fourth Olympic place had finished goalless. Dutch attention, though, was already turning towards the final. Well over 200,000 people had attended matches during the tournament, a record at this level, with an average of 22,000 watching the Netherlands. The stands were a sea of orange for each home game and it was no different in the final where goals from Otman Bakkal, Ryan Babel, Maceo Rigters (his tournament-leading fourth) and Luigi Bruins ensured a 4-1 victory. "Winning this two years running is remarkable," De Haan beamed. "I'm proud of the guys. We were a new team, a young team, and that made it hard, but I'm very happy."

The Optimist Club of Littleton is proud to announce that Michaela Sirois of Heritage School, who won our club’s Oratorical Contest at Bemis Library on March 4th, won the district competition on May 30th and will be representing our club in the Optimist World Championship Competition in July in a virtual contest. Since its start in 1928, the Optimist Oratorical Contest has become the longest-running contest sponsored by Optimist International. The topic for the Oratorical contest for this school year is “Just Imagine a World Without Boundaries.”
Michaela won a $2,500 scholarship at the District competition, and she will have a chance to win an additional $20,000 in scholarships if she wins in the world competition. Ava Smith won second place at our club competition and then participated in the district competition, and Sahithi Mathukimilli was the third-place winner at our club competition.
Michaela will be a 12th-grader at Heritage High School this next school year. She says that she never had a speech teacher, but that her mom has always been available to encourage her or give her feedback and/or constructive criticism. She became interested in the Optimist Club of Littleton Oratorical contest when she previously competed in the Optimist Club “Brain Bowl” competition with the Euclid Elementary school team called the “No Brainers.” In her freshman year, she decided to see what a public speaking competition would be all about, and this was her third year competing in the oratorical contest. She says that she did not have any formal background in public speaking, but perhaps she took after her grandfather and namesake (and an honorary lifetime Optimist), who was said to have “never met a podium he didn’t like!” Congratulations and good luck, Michaela!

Venturing inside my laboratory of images is an almost mystical experience. Transient, as if emerging from the mist, the jewelry starts to take shape. The sparkle of crystal, veiled and blurred, can just be made out. As if looking through tracing paper, you can hardly guess what it is you see – a kind of spectral shadow.

May we have your tension please…..
Deep in the heart of Suffolk lies the pretty village of Lavenham with its crooked buildings dating back to medieval times. Woven between quaint teashops and art galleries sits the Swan Hotel, camouflaged by its age-old timber structure. Inside with beams and alcoves, history repeats itself with intimate lounges, cozy fireplaces and meandering passageways.
“May we have your tension please….” I read this from a display card. It refers to the unique facility attached to the hotel. Chic, stylish and personal, the Weavers’ House Spa is tucked behind the imposing timber structure in a separate building but linked with easy access from the hotel or through a pretty garden and decked area.
The genuine care for individual comfort and attention seeps through to this award-winning Spa. The experience is peppered with sweet indulgences as well as custom-created treatments which include signature packages such as the 2-hour Weavers’ House Hug which promises that you will “Swan Out” feeling totally restored while the Brush with Heaven, which uses brush sequences of different sizes and textures, aims to stimulate, massage and drain toxins. The menu is extensive, capturing every type of facial, massage, scrub and wrap specially created to make them unique, earning this Spa a basket of awards and accolades.
My spa journey started as soon as I arrived with robes engagingly fluffy and soft, setting me immediately into a pampering mindset. I find a little tray waiting for me in the lounge, neatly laid with a consultation form accompanied by a strawberry smoothie in a shot glass – containing those all-important antioxidants. I am then escorted to one of the six treatment rooms where I was surprised by the Hydrotherm waterbed mattress. This apparently relieves pressure off the spine during a treatment. Slightly hesitant that I would lose balance, it proved to be extremely comfortable. A full massage usually requires turning, smothering your face, but this time the whole massage was done lying on my back. At the end of the treatment, totally relaxed, a zesty lemon sorbet is placed in the room as a post treatment treat, prescribed to awaken the senses! I am then led to a quiet relaxation room where a blended tea awaits complete with a macaroon. How sweet!
Not wanting to turn any guest away, the Weavers’ House Spa has launched its selection of “Touch Therapies” by Jennifer Young for those living with and beyond cancer. Jennifer Young is an experienced micro-biologist and nutritionist, qualified therapist and product formulator. The therapists at the Spa have been specially trained and qualified in her treatments and skincare to provide the highest grade of treatment with quality ingredients. Touch therapies range from a facial, massage and top to toe experience. All Jennifer Young’s “Defiant Beauty” range have been developed for those affected by cancer and are 100% natural and organic.
The same personal attention has also been paid to the products they use and sell. Think cashmere, diamond dust and truffles. The products boast exotic ingredients made by the British brand, Temple Spa. Their exclusivity means availability is limited to the likes of Emirates First Class, Harrods, Selfridges, Orient Express and of course Weavers Spa as well as a scattering of selected spas across the country.
To relegate stress to history, experience products of the modern age while cocooned in a character hotel in a medieval setting, head to The Swan in Lavenham.
To book a stay at the Swan at Lavenham Hotel & Spa and treatments in Weavers’ House Spa call +44 (0) 1787 247477 or visit www.theswanatlavenham.co.uk Rooms start from £185 per night for two sharing including a full Suffolk breakfast; dinner from the a la carte menu is from £39 per person for three courses. Overnight guests have a complimentary two-hour session with use of the spa facilities including the sauna, steam room, outdoor vitality pool and relaxation lounge.

Tag wiki excerpts don't allow any formatting, they're just plain text.
I can see the argument against markup: it would introduce needless distractions. The purpose of the excerpt is to convey information briefly and clearly. If you need newlines or other vertical markup, you're putting too much information. If you need emphasis or fixed-width text, your text isn't clear enough. Links aren't really needed — if you want more information, you can get it from the wiki body.
There's an exception on French Language & Usage: we strive to have bilingual tag excerpts. Unfortunately, the lack of any form of markup means that the two languages have to come one after the other with no good way to separate them. For example, from negation:
Comment exprimer le contraire d'une affirmation ; les formes grammaticales de la négation. / How to express the opposite of a statement; grammatical forms of negation.
At first glance, I just don't see that there's some English there. I find the effect markedly worse in the box on hover which has a narrower column width. It would be nice to have at least a line break between the two languages.
A simple implementation would be to allow paragraph breaks. Dedicated support for bilingual excerpts would be even better: it would push excerpt authors towards including both languages; people wouldn't be tempted to use paragraph breaks for other purposes; the order of the two languages would be consistent.

Welcome to the PredictWise Daily 20180702:
1) There is no deal with North Korea, just concessions for nothing: President Trump met with leader of North Korea giving him photo-ops he wanted and agreed to suspect joint-exercises with South Korea. Then Trump claimed North Korea was denuclearizing, but North Korea is building more facilities proving Trump got nothing for all of our concessions. Reminder President Trump also violated the Iran agreement (just made things worse), pulled out of Paris (rest of world leading without US), did not sign TPP (China stoked, we got nothing), threatening NAFTA (companies leaving US with new trade war!), NATO, and WTO.
2) New and scary that Supreme Court is fully aligned with two-party system: I have no illusions about political strife of the US going all of the way back to the founding or specifically about the factions that dominated the Supreme Court through the years. It is not that the Supreme Court remained above the fold, but it is only recently tied to two-party partisan alignment. The Republicans are going to nominate someone who is vetted, committed partisan, and any suggestion of jurisprudence is absurd.
3) ICE’s history is short, cruel, and increasingly about diverting resources from catching violent criminals to deporting productive members of society: To quote Matthew Yglesias: “Obama made ICE focus on violent criminals. Republicans freaked out, Trump won with the ICE union’s support and they enthusiastically went back to deporting upstanding mm. Left activists started calling to “abolish ICE” and the White House pushes back citing … violent criminals.”
*) Democratic Healthcare Plan (let anyone buy Medicare, if they want) is a sharp contrast with the Republican Healthcare Plan (make healthcare unaffordable for people with preexisting conditions and sabotage the market for everyone else). Nothing new about this today, but it remains the top public policy issue of the upcoming 2018 election. Earlier PredictWise article: Messaging Healthcare. I am going to add this every day, between now and the election, even when there is no knew news on this, because it should be repeated every day.

In response to YEZ, Feb. 28:
The distinction made in Dynamics of Dispute (pages 125 and following) is not halacha vs. aggadta. It is between teachings by Tannaim (of whatever category) that definitely did not originate with Moses' report of G-d's explanation, and all others. Only the former are candidates for dispute. The Rambam certainly maintains that among those teachings, transmitted to and by the Tannaim (as well as Amoraim), are historical accounts and hashkafic ideas that he likewise accepted as fact. (For example, creation ex-nihilo, and the accounts of the Mabul, Avraham's miraculous escape from Nimrod, and the desert wanderings (see Moreh Nevuchim 3:50 and Hilchos Avoda Zorra 1:3)
The main source for the explanation for why Amoraim abstain from disagreeing with Tannaim (when they do) is a passage in the Talmud Yerushalmi on Payah 2:6:
Said Rebbi Zeyra in the name of Rebbi Yochonon: "If you come across a mishna whose reason you cannot understand, do not brush it aside and replace its law with another one. For many laws were told to Moses at Sinai, and all of them are lodged throughout the Mishna."
Said Rebbi Abbin: "How true! For behold the halacha regarding "two varieties of one grain"[as a prime example]! If Nachum HaLavlar had not come and explained to us [that it was a halacha L'Moshe MiSinai], would we ever have known?!"
From this source, one deduces that immediately following the formulation of the Mishna—the time of Rebbi Yochonon, at the beginning of the era of the Amoraim (c. 4000, 250 CE), the tumultuous state of affairs caused an obscurity over which laws had originated with drashos, permitting challenge, and which laws had really originated from Sinai, precluding question.
As summarized in the final paragraph of that chapter,
All details in the Mishna known not to be kabballos, and all
rabbinical decrees not yet voted upon by a Tannaitic Sanhedrin, were
challengeable. On such issues, an Amora could conceivably differ
with a Tanna. As we mentioned above, there were rare instances in
which Amoraim exercised this power.

Alison was a lesbian woman who attended a rave thrown by Steve Sanders and Griffin Stone. After David Silver and Clare Arnold posted the invitation in the wrong online forum, that being the women seeking women forum, Alison and many other lesbian women showed up to the party.
Alison had a girlfriend named Dana who attended the party with her. However, during the course of the party, the building caught fire and Alison found herself trapped in the basement with Kelly. Both were burned, but Alison was burned badly and spent a significant amount of time going through rehabilitation and had multiple skin grafts.
During the course of her recovery, she broke up with Dana and claimed that she was in love with Kelly. Her presence in the Season 5 finale earned Kelly the ridicule of her friends, leaving them all wondering whether Kelly had become a lesbian herself. After accepting that Kelly wasn't into women, Alison went on with her life.

Last week when I commented on the downward revision of the already weak First Quarter GDP numbers, several commenters wrote in to ask: what is keeping the stock market so high? Great question, with the best answer being ZIRP, the Federal Reserve’s “zero interest rate policy,” now matched by many other central banks (with some actually now employing negative interest rates). I’ll leave for another time whether the risk of deflation is such as to warrant ZIRP. It has always been true, however, that times of loose money tend to send stock prices higher than intrinsic valuation might warrant, as the money has nowhere else to go to get plausible returns.
But take note of two items in today’s Wall Street Journal. The first concerns those very same central bankers who now say financial markets are out of step with the real economy:
BRUSSELS—Buoyant financial markets are out of sync with the shaky global economic and geopolitical outlook, the Bank for International Settlements said in its annual report published Sunday.
The warning from the BIS, a consortium of the world’s top central banks, comes as financial markets from stocks to bonds to commodities have been enjoying a broad-based rally in the first half of 2014, reflecting investor optimism over expansionary central-bank monetary policies.
“Overall, it is hard to avoid the sense of a puzzling disconnect between the markets’ buoyancy and underlying economic developments globally,” the report read.
But it is a second story that really caught my eye:
Quick, what is the stock market’s biggest driver today?
Corporate earnings? Interest rates? The Federal Reserve? Some say the correct answer is something people rarely discuss: companies buying back their own stock.
Companies purchasing their own shares represent the single biggest category of stock buyers today, according to a study this month by Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at brokerage firm LPL Financial.
Only one other major group, individuals, is a net stock buyer now and individuals are buying less than corporations, Mr. Kleintop found. Of six major groups he identified, hedge funds, foreigners, insiders and investment institutions such as pension funds and insurance companies all are net sellers, he found. . .
The pullback by traditional investors helps explain why stocks have had trouble making progress at various points this year, money managers say. And the increasing prominence of corporate buybacks has drawn criticism from some in the investment world.
“Most of the buying is coming from the companies themselves. It doesn’t sound healthy but that is certainly where it is coming from,” Mr. Kleintop said.
Hmmm. Assuming a well-managed company with a decent internal rate of return (always a somewhat tricky calculation), buying up your own stock in a world of ZIRP may make perfect economic and business sense. But one also thinks of a term beginning with the letter “B.”

Mitch Malloy states that he never apologized for Great White’s gig earlier this month and never will
Singer Mitch Malloy is sticking up for Great White‘s decision to play a concert in Dickinson, North Dakota, USA on July 9, 2020 where social distancing restrictions were apparently not implemented.
Wearing masks and social distancing at the event was apparently left to the discretion of the concert attendees. Odd Fellows event organizer April Getz indicated to The Dickinson Press that, “We do not have restrictions, believe it or not, we don’t have any… It’s one of those things where if people feel comfortable coming down and mixing and mingling that’s their personal choice. We’re leaving it up to everybody that chooses to attend.”
Based on video footage of the concert via YouTube that has since been removed, the majority of the concert attendees opted not to wear masks and ignore any social distancing guidelines. The lack of social distancing at the concert was covered quite extensively by many media outlets including Sleaze Roxx, which apparently caused Great White to issue a statement where they apologized to those who disagreed with the band fulfilling its contractual obligations to play the concert.
Malloy posted a message on his Facebook account earlier today with a somewhat blurry photo of three women wearing masks allegedly at the Great White concert in question. Malloy‘s message indicates:
“Front row Great White show @first_on_first in my home town of Dickinson ND. Fake news said no masks no social distancing. I keep saying otherwise and this pic proves my point. I never apologized. And never will. It was an awesome gig at my good buddies festival for my hometown crowd.”

I’ve always been creative and have had a deep desire to create and tell stories – whether that was through developing my own characters and drawing my own cartoons as a kid, or designing and sculpting my own characters as I got older.
This desire led to my getting a degree in art from the California College of the Arts in Northern California, to eventually working with the Walt Disney Company for six years, to collaborating with Cirque Du Soleil on a project, and working with Lucasfilm on developing a line of Star Wars sculptures. Ultimately this journey led to toy photography, where I’m able to create stories and alternate universes while capturing the illusion of motion, and emotion, where none existed before.
One of the goals for my toy photography is to bridge the gap between these sculpted pieces of plastic and the stories in one’s head. Whether defying gravity, or succumbing to it – all is fair ‘play’ at Mitchel Wu Toy Photography. I often work in challenging, extreme environments trying to find dynamic, new locations for my shots. I create worlds for my stories to take place in, so finding the right locations are often key to those stories.
On any given day you might find me photographing action figures on a windswept beach, hiking into a damp mossy forest, bouldering in an unforgiving desert… even shooting on urban streets and in alleyways. Each environment poses its own unique challenges, all of which are met by my SpiderPro gear.
“The innovative and thoughtfully designed SpiderPro Holster and Hand Strap allow me to safely get to these locations, and once there, maneuver about them with ease.”
Even when traversing demanding terrain, dropping my camera is never a concern, which allows me to focus on maintaining solid footing instead. And of course my SpiderPro gear keeps both of my hands free, allowing me to pose and setup my often challenging and meticulously arranged shots, while keeping my camera safely at my side. My SpiderPro gear is as an integral part of my gear bag as it is part of my overall process.
What’s in my bag?

Introduction to Temperature Measurement
A thermistor is a temperature-sensing element composed of sintered semiconductor material which exhibits a large change in resistance proportional to a small change in temperature. Thermistors usually have negative temperature coefficients which means the resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature increases.
Benefits of Using a Thermistor
Thermistors are one of the most accurate types of temperature sensors. OMEGA thermistors have an accuracy of ±0.1°C or ±0.2°C depending on the particular thermistor model. However thermistors are fairly limited in their temperature range, working only over a nominal range of 0°C to 100°C .
Finished thermistors are chemically stable and not significantly affected by aging.
Choose the right thermistor for your application
The thermistor element is the simplest form of thermistor. Because of their compact size, thermistor elements are commonly used when space is very limited. OMEGA offers a wide variety of thermistor elements which vary not only in form factor but also in their resistance versus temperature characteristics. Since thermistors are non-linear, the instrument used to read the temperature must linearize the reading.
The standalone thermistor element is relatively fragile and can not be placed in a rugged environment. OMEGA offers thermistor probes which are thermistor elements embedded in metal tubes. Thermistor probes are much more suitable for industrial environments than thermistor elements.

As I sit home and get ready to watch The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, I have mixed emotions this year. I've had a special tradition that I've shared with my Grandmother every single year of my life: at the very end of the parade, the penultimate moment when Santa appears in his sleigh, at that precise moment, I would jump up and yell: "NANNY NAWS!!!!"
That was back when I couldn't say Santa Claus...but the tradition stuck, and I've never pronounced his name properly since then. Whether I was in the same room with my Grandmother or miles away...I would call her and yell across the miles, "It's Nanny Naws!" and we would laugh together.
This year, I have no one to call.
Her absence is felt on a daily basis, but I know that today there will be a particular void; a moment when I will feel her absence in a way that says this holiday is altered forever.
For all of you who are missing someone this Holiday...I wish you peace in the form of good memories, and a small, silent moment for remembrance.
I am thankful I had her in my life for as long as I did...and grateful for the special lady that made all my Holidays fabulous.
I wish you a glorious Thanksgiving.

Paul Peschisolido is proud of Burton after they suffered a valiant defeat at the hands of Burnley in their Carling Cup clash.
Albion were 3-1 down with five minutes remaining before fighting back to 3-3 to force extra-time.
But Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez proved the difference, as the England Under-21 international hit his third and fourth goals of the night in extra time to lead his Championship side to a 6-3 victory.
Despite the disappointment, Peschisolido had only praise for his battling side.
"We kept going in the 90 minutes, when we countered we looked more dangerous but our final pass wasn't there," he told BBC Radio Derby.
"Credit to them they're a good side but I'm proud of the boys."

If you have an account on Facebook, you may have come around to the idea that maybe it’s not as great as you once thought it was. UI changes and algorithms aside, the use of Facebook has diminished greatly in the last several years and has become a fount of stress in my life.
I can only begin to tell you how it breaks my heart to scroll through Facebook and see people I consider close friends sharing thoughts and points of view I didn’t know they had—vantages that I consider not only opposed to my own, but dangerous to our very society. Perhaps learning about this sort of stuff online means I’m not as close to these people as I thought I was. In any case, reading such bigotry and hatred coming from people I know and care about is very discouraging. While I think the United States as a democratic body has made great strides in acceptance and open-mindedness, my local circles are still unquestionably conservative to the point of denial and ignorance. I’m choosing to duck out of that where I can.
This isn’t Jake taking a shot anyone or their beliefs. If I thought I could change anyone’s mind about religion, politics, or sexuality I would part of what I consider a bigger problem. I’m simply through with feeling awful for logging into a website. It’s time to take action.
I’ve deactivated Facebook twice before. Both times I came back for work-related reasons and stayed for the habits I fell back into. Using Facebook to share my work and connect with colleagues has been very important to the way I operate. The dream is to have a Facebook account by which to use messenger and share my work with the people that find it interesting, leaving the follows and timeline stuff out of it. Achieving that is going to require either painstakingly removing everything from my timeline that induces stress or creating an entirely new Facebook page that will, in every likelihood, become as cluttered as my current one. This is what I have to think about.
Starting tomorrow and for the next two months, I’m leaving Facebook entirely. My page will be deactivated until some point in early February. At that point I will hopefully have a plan to create a better balance on the platform or abandon it completely. I am open to suggestions.
UPDATE: I'm back on Facebook. The experiment worked just fine. I've decided that Facebook is a reletively nescessary evil that I just won't pay much attention to. More than anything, it's a tool to reach an audience I can't get to on Twitter. I don't like that I need it, but I think—at least for now—I do.

Elizabeth Banks To Play Rita Replusa In Lionsgate’s ‘Power Rangers’
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016 at 5:00 pm
Power Rangers is a film that is happening. After various TV iterations and reincarnations, network switches, and two live-action films, we are finally getting a new reboot with an all new cast. The principle story stays the same where five teenagers with attitude and skills are recruited by Zordon to stop an evil alien force from ruling the world. Now the five young recruits consist of a young and relatively unknown cast. But one of Lionsgate’s major goals was to cast an A-list star to attract fans of the franchise and generate new ones.
The studio didn’t have to look too far as they have cast Elizabeth Banks to play Rita Replusa.
The Hollywood Reporter was the first to confirm the news. Banks was a part of Lionsgate’s highly successful adaptation of the YA trilogy The Hunger Games, which grossed nearly $3 billion worldwide. Her character can easily be considered a fan-favorite because of that spirited energy she channeled into playing the always stylish Effie Trinket. So now it’s time to channel that same energy but into a villainous form.
For those who may not remember or may not have been even around to see the first incarnation of the Power Rangers, Rita Replusa was an evil alien witch who was imprisoned inside a dumpster buried beneath the surface of the move. When astronauts opened the dumpster, she and her cronies were released and set their sights on ruling Earth. The event forced Zordon to recruit five teenagers and endow them with powers to call upon powerful weapons and mighty robots called Dinozords, which when put together could form the great Megazord.
Banks’ own brand of comedy is sure to bring in some fans of hers and the franchise to theaters. She certainly has experience wearing some crazy clothing from the Hunger Games franchise, and Rita Replusa was known for having an odd fashion sense. As aforementioned, it was one of Lionsgate’s goals to get a bankable (no pun intended) star in the film. I think Elizabeth Banks pretty much covers that criteria. She has proven time and again that she can balance out comedy and drama, but being in Power Rangers is something a little bit different.
Now it’s time to see who director Dean Israelite casts as Rita’s cronies like Goldar, Baboo & Squatt, Scorpina, and Finster.
Power Rangers is set for a March 24, 2017 release date.
Here’s a small video of when the American version of Power Rangers first introduced Rita Replusa.

A band releasing a sophomore album superior to their debut isn't that uncommon, but a band surpassing their debut by the margin that Radiohead did is pretty rare. The Bends is not only a great record, it's an important record, and one that would take the majority of the world a few years to catch up with. That included me.
I have a vague memory of being somewhere (a relative's house or something?) in 1995 and seeing the video for "Fake Plastic Trees" and not feeling much other than, "Huh, they're still at it, eh?" At the time, I wasn't really in a space to be handling what Radiohead was offering, but even if I was, I don't know that it would have really reached me. I know the videos for "Just" and "High and Dry" also got some minor MTV play, but I don't remember seeing them. Honestly, it wasn't until I embraced OK Computer that I went back and bought The Bends and listened to it incessantly for like two years.
And this is the kind of record that you can do that with. From beginning to end, this LP is brilliant, with almost every track sounding like it could be a single. Seems like about half of them were, in fact. And while the band clearly had experience with making songs that hit the mainstream hard, they had never made songs with this much complexity, vigor, and warmth.
From the opening wind-blown swirl that begins the album and "Planet Telex," you can tell this is the work of a band with something to prove. People want to read too much into Yorke's supposed depression-based lyrics on this album, but honestly, a lot of the lyrics here could be interpreted in a ton of different ways. And for me, while I certainly think Radiohead's lyrics are an integral part of the band's approach, I also think melody and arrangement are the forces that drive their songs and really make them powerful. "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Just" are so smart and precise in this regard, it's staggering. Same with the closer, "Street Spirit (Fade Out)," which is layered so smoothly that you can listen to dozens of times before hearing every element at work.
Some folks probably put this record and OK Computer on the same level, and though I probably give the edge to OK Computer, there's a great argument to be made for this record being equally great, and equally important. It's not often you see a band make so much progress in such a short period of time, in such a complete way. Not a stinker on this thing. And that title track: man, that's a good song. But now I'm rambling.
I somehow have an original import Parlaphone pressing of this album, which I think I bought from a friend or something...? Anyway, it's a sweet copy and it sounds incredible. So don't touch it.

Dresner Advisory Services IT Analytics market study highlights increased adoption of IT Business Analytics
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Numerify, a leading provider of AI-powered IT Business Analytics, today announced the findings from the 2018 Dresner Advisory Services IT Analytics Market Study. The market study summarizes the results from a survey of a large group of IT professionals conducted annually by Dresner Advisory Services as part of their Wisdom of Crowds Series.
The survey covered four main areas of IT Business Analytics – IT Operations Management, IT Resource Management, IT Resource Planning, and IT Systems Development. 74% of the respondents scored IT Analytics as Critical or Very Important, with the proportion even higher among large enterprises. Operations Analytics is typically where survey respondents have started their IT analytics journey, with IT Service Analytics serving as the typical initial area of interest followed by IT Incident Analytics. More than any other enterprise business function, IT considers Compliance and Risk Management as a core objective of analytics.
Almost half of the respondents still rely on spreadsheets or some other informal analytic approach. Respondents that rated IT Analytics as a critical capability for their business were most likely to use a third-party purpose-built IT analytics solution. The study also provides an assessment of the importance of key metrics for each area of IT Business Analytics, providing a clear starting point for enterprises embarking on an IT analytics initiative.
"IT departments are beginning to assume the responsibility of understanding performance and executing upon that like never before. Similar to other business functions, IT understands that a comprehensive analytical view across planning, application development, and IT operations is key to success," said Howard Dresner, founder and Chief Research Officer at Dresner Advisory Services. "Our IT Analytics Market Study indicates that adopting a comprehensive approach to IT analytics can allow organizations to out-innovate their competitors."
"We see a significant opportunity for enterprises to boost the performance of their IT function through a focused use of IT business analytics," said Gaurav Rewari, co-founder and CEO at Numerify. "The IT Analytics Market Study clearly shows that businesses that use a formal and well-designed IT business analytics strategy gain significant value. As market and thought leaders in IT business analytics, we are committed to providing our customers with a data-driven approach to improving the performance of the IT organization."

Living in London has always been my dream. I moved to London about five years ago and was quite excited about being an escort. I get to meet new people, have fun, and get spoiled at token. Once I moved to London, I wasn’t sure about where to start, but I had heard about agencies that recruit busty ladies like me. I made an online search and found a few options that fit perfectly. Since I was looking for absolute privacy and an agency that would assure me of my well-being, I choose Cleopatra Escorts. Ever since it has been fantastic for me, and I never regret the decision I made.
January 29th, 2019
My first day as an escort. I am tensed and anxious as for my first hook up. It’s an exciting thrill but still not sure if I will have a good time. A Swedish businessman asked me out for a date in a members club. Hold on, and I have to dress to kill tonight. It’s been a long since I went on a date. Ooops, and getting paid for this one. Excited about it and looking forward to making sure he has a good time. A dress with a long cleavage will be a perfect choice. I have to make him want me yet still have a good time. My red long slit dress is an ideal bid on this one, and since it’s my first date, I have to make sure I impress for a better review on my profile……….
The date was lovely had a good time. I was certainly dressed for the occasion, and the gentleman liked my company. He said I was at the party. He asked me out for a night and had to confirm with my agency first if I am allowed to since I wasn’t sure about the terms. They agreed to it at a reasonable charge and commission, which I was okay with also. I was tipped extra hard too.
March 19th, 2019
Today was an unforgettable experience for me. I had one of the best days of being an escort. My agency asked me to care for a lonely dude asking for good company and a sensation massage, which I am perfect at. It was amazing how much the guy opened up to me, and I listened without judging him. He had a lot in his head and certainly was worth letting go. He asked me not to judge him, which I did not since its part of my job. However, I did pity him for a moment, and we talked quite a lot about what he was going through but always let him speak as much as he could to let go. After the chat, he needed a sensation massage, which he said would help him ease up. I was happy to help him out, and he did not ease up only but got horny, which was quite funny…My bad.
November 5th, 2019
A busty babe like me has to go for some shopping. Today was the day. I got a referral client from a soul I love from the escort who is also in the profession. She had a client who loves busty ladies who are curvy like I am. She referred me through the agency and was a total turn up for me. I never expected the day to be as perfect as it was because I thought this was only a mere treat. However, that was not the case. The date certainly outdid himself from the rest I have ever had on a shopping request hire. I had lots of top designer bags bought for me, and I was quite happy about it. He paid for an uber back home after the treat, which is quite a mature gentleman stunt I will never forget.
For tips on how to write a journal:

Pocket of Trouble
NOTHING QUITE GRABS THE ATTENTION of a prosecutor like a politician carrying a package full of cash. And in the criminal investigation of former Los Angeles City Councilman Martin Ludlow — now the ex-head of the powerful Los Angeles County Federation of Labor — Ludlow’s delivery of $1,300 quickly became one of the most eye-popping details to emerge from the state and federal probe, which deals largely in arcane campaign-fund-raising rules.
In state and federal charges filed last week, prosecutors described Ludlow’s decision to hand an envelope containing $1,300 to an intermediary, who in turn paid the money to Kineta Shorts — one of six “phantom employees” who worked on Ludlow’s successful 2003 council campaign while secretly being paid by Service Employees International Union Local 99 — a violation of the city’s campaign laws.
By paying in cash, Ludlow had managed to keep Shorts out of the paperwork of his campaign until she could be added to the union payroll, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Missakian. But in doing so, he also sent a message to federal investigators, who quickly concluded that Ludlow was attempting to run his campaign at least partly off the books.
“Whenever a politician deals in cash, that tends to be a red flag,” Missakian added.
Ludlow pleaded guilty Wednesday to one felony charge of conspiracy, confirming allegations that he engaged in a campaign in which SEIU Local 99 paid for six phantom employees, provided health-care coverage to a seventh and covered other unreported costs, including $3,397 in cell-phone calls. His plea agreement, ironically, grew out of a decision by the SEIU three years ago to contact the federal Department of Labor about financial irregularities in the union’s books.
The cash transaction between Ludlow and Shorts formed the basis for one of the state charges against Ludlow, who reached an agreement that could require him to spend as many as 13 years away from labor unions. While the money was a small fraction of the $36,000 illegally received by the Ludlow campaign, it put him in the worst possible light. At City Hall, you must understand, there are three tiers of trouble when it comes to receiving questionable campaign funds. The best-case scenario for a politician — and most forgivable in the eyes of the Ethics Commission — is to be oblivious, that is, to have no idea that tainted money was given. Quite a few of the city’s elected officials have fallen into this category, learning after their election victories that their contributors exceeded the $500 limit or even engaged in money laundering, schemes in which multiple players work in tandem to circumvent fund-raising limits.
The second and considerably worse kind of trouble is to know about tainted campaign contributions and do nothing to stop them. Until last week, that still seemed a possible scenario for Ludlow, who had a broad base of union support and is a close ally of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. With the filing of charges last week, Ludlow’s behavior fell into the third and most legally perilous category — orchestrating the scheme to obtain tainted money. While most campaign-finance violations are misdemeanors, coordinating them is a felony. And although Ludlow’s political demise had been predicted, even some Ludlow partisans voiced surprise at how explicit his actions were.
Last Friday, Assistant District Attorney Max Huntsman told the court that he planned to submit no fewer than 30 exhibits for his case, including a spreadsheet Ludlow gave to a union employee spelling out the campaign workers he wanted to be paid by SEIU Local 99, which represents blue-collar school employees like bus drivers, cafeteria workers and custodians.
THE SPREADSHEET, one of three uncovered during the probe, cemented Ludlow’s status as an architect of the fund-raising scheme. Meanwhile, Missakian alleged in a separate filing that Ludlow and the former president of the union, Janett Humphries, later tried to cover up the illegal use of union funds by falsifying documents and altering union records — actions that allowed for the embezzlement of union funds.
Standing outside the courthouse this week, Ludlow said his appearance was the first step in a long road toward accepting responsibility. The next step comes Tuesday, when he will be asked to pay a $105,271 fine to the city’s Ethics Commission, the first of three resulting from the corruption probe.
Humphries, on the other hand, entered a not-guilty plea and set the stage for a potentially protracted court battle over the case. One day before the indictments were handed down, Humphries filed a lawsuit and signaled plans to call multiple City Hall players as witnesses, including Villaraigosa. Attorney Nick Pacheco went on to argue that Humphries, his client, was simply a figurehead in the union, not a power player green-lighting illegal campaign fund-raising.
That Pacheco and another lawyer, Ricardo Torres II, have such prominent roles in the case is yet another unusual turn of events. Both men have been at odds with Villaraigosa over the past five years, most notably during election season. In the 2001 mayoral campaign, Pacheco’s deputy chief of staff, the late Lloyd Monserratt, helped to program a series of automated telephone calls to voters saying that Villaraigosa opposed increased penalties for rapists and child molesters. District Attorney Steve Cooley investigated the calls — which featured an impersonation of Supervisor Gloria Molina by a woman identifying herself as Gloria Marina — and concluded that, while no laws were broken, it amounted to “underhanded political dirty tricksterism.”
Pacheco denied knowledge of the calls. Villaraigosa went on to unseat Pacheco as a councilman two years later, after a campaign in which Torres — Humphries’ other attorney — sent widely derided mailers accusing Villaraigosa of relying on “white advisors” at the expense of Latino constituents. While Pacheco was waging that losing campaign against Villaraigosa, Ludlow — the man who the mayor likened to a son — was relying on SEIU funds to make the election in his own council bid.
In November, the mayor helped to deny Pacheco a political comeback at City Hall by backing school-board member Jose Huizar in his race for Villaraigosa’s old council seat. But if Humphries has any success with her lawsuit, Pacheco and Villaraigosa could spar yet again, this time in court.

I've heard that daVinci's Last Supper began deteriorating only months after it was finished. Apparently the north wall of the monk's refectory at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan was not entirely hospitable to the oil-and-tempera based medium the master used to paint the masterpiece.
Ironic then that this wall scribble is maybe a decade old on the southern wall beneath a railroad bridge going into Lancaster. While it rarely gets direct rain or sunlight, it's otherwise completely exposed to the temperature and humidity shifts of our part of the world. Yet it's still as bright and uncracked as it came out of the spray cans. Just as roaches will survive an atomic blast, grafitti will probably build the stories of the Fourth Millenium's archeologists. Don't you wonder what they'll conclude about us from these sort of things?

Coatsworth, Helen Campbell (1907 - 2003)
Inducted: October 30, 1996
Helen Coatsworth has made a name for herself in a large part of Kent County by writing a newspaper column that keeps rural residents in touch with what is happening in their community and country, and reminds distant readers of their childhood on the farm.
When she started writing for the Wheatley Journal, for the grandfather of the present editor, communication was relatively unsophisticated and her Talbot Street community news augmented word-of-mouth in keeping the area abreast of what was happening. At 89, she writes on a diverse range of subjects, including commodity prices, the state of agriculture, the weather, historical events, book and theatre reviews and the latest progress, or otherwise, of her favourite Tigers and Pistons teams.
Internet has now provided a level of instant communication that would have been considered a scientific impossibility when Mrs. Coatsworth was a girl; but she maintains a loyal following of readers who enjoy what she writes about life in the 1990s. When someone asked her what happened to the community once called Sycamore, she researched it and found that it is now called Stevenson.
Mrs. Coatsworth is a native of Glencoe, Middlesex County, and had the benefit of a good education, at a rural school followed by Glencoe High School and London Normal School. She taught in Essex and Kent counties before her marriage in 1933 to Grover Coatsworth, affectionately referred to as "Partner" since.
In those depression years, she and "Partner" operated a mixed farm on the Coatsworth Century Farm on Lake Erie. While she raised a family, she also took an immediate and active interest in her adopted community. A friend said of those days, "She was always interested in everything to do with making this a better community." In 1992, during the celebration of Canada's 125th Anniversary, Mrs. Coatsworth was very honoured to be presented with one of the 125 year medals in recognition of her community service.
Her membership in the Women's Institute has continued for more than 60 years, and she is presently Public Relations Officer for the Romney Women's Institute. The paper she gave to that W.I. Branch on the making of silk, reflected an active and inquiring mind.
Mrs. Coatsworth is an avid reader and, for some time, the Romney Public Library was located in the Coatsworth home, until a Kent Library system was established. She now gets her books from the Leamington Library, in quantities that would impress the average reader.
Mrs. Coatsworth and "Partner" were members of skating clubs in Chatham, Blenheim and Leamington; Mr. Coatsworth had a fatal heart attack while skating in Wheatley. She is an enthusiastic weaver and music-lover, and she plays the organ for her own enjoyment. She loves nature, and was a bird watcher before that term became popular and is a champion cribbage player.
Mrs. Coatsworth attends Talbot Street United Church and taught Sunday School for many years. She has three children: Beverly Gillespie of Wheatley; Alfred Coatsworth, Brampton; and Virginia Allen, Newmarket; six grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Rick Eplett, editor of the Wheatley Journal, said Mrs. Coatsworth's appeal over the many years when she has worked with three generations of his family has rested in the fact that "she writes from the heart...things that anyone can relate to." When the paper celebrated its 100th birthday in 1995, the editor took an embroidered shirt to Mrs. Coatsworth, recognizing her years of service. The ensuing two hours were he said, "the most fascinating two hours I have ever had," as Mrs. Coatsworth talked of the things that make up her weekly column.

5. Biomass Conversion Technologies . In the context of this document, biomass conversion refers to the process of converting biomass into energy that will in turn be used to generate electricity and/or heat. The principal categories of biomass conversion technologies for power and heat production are . direct-fired . and . gasification . systems.
Biomass can be a source of liquid fuel (e.g., biodiesel) or gaseous fuel (e.g., "wood gas"), but the most common use is as a solid fuel (e.g., wood, biomass pellets). This fact sheet presents some of the more important characteristics of solid biomass fuel and explains their significance.
Installing an automatic biomass boiler in a domestic residence can cost between £5,000 to £25,000. A domestic-use biomass boiler will typically cost an estimated £15,000 during its first year including installation and fuel costs. Prices vary depending on the make, size and level of automation of the boiler.
We'll spend time considering the best, yet least disruptive way of getting your wood pellet delivery to you and into your fuel store. Whilst most biomass pellet deliveries are made in our large 8 wheelers, we have a range of different vehicles and methods to get into much tighter spaces.
The three most important factors to consider when buying a boiler are: Boiler type: combi, conventional, and system; Fuel type: gas, oil, electric, and biomass; The size of the boiler; Since there are many technical factors influencing your choice of boiler, it is best to consult an expert.
The best type of wood fuel for your biomass boiler should be discussed with your boiler supplier. You can read more about the benefits of different fuel types, chip and pellets, and which might be best for your project in our blog Wood Chip vs. Wood Pellets - The benefits of different biomass wood fuel .
A Biomass boiler system can be set up to work seamlessly with a fossil fuel boiler that is retained for full redundancy or for use during peak demand periods. Keeping fossil fuel boilers can reduce the overall investment by reducing the output capacity required of the more costly pellet boilers.
A biomass boiler works in a very similar way to conventional boilers, combusting fuel to produce heat that is then used to heat water. Biomass boilers are normally substantially bigger than their fossil fuel-burning brothers though, for a number of reasons.
A quality biomass fuel is made from woodchips and has to meet several quality specifications: – A particle size fitted for the type of biomass boiler in which the fuel will be used. – A humidity fitted for the type of biomass boiler. – Few or no big chunks nor fine particules (sawdust).
Indeed, many of the best wastes are being converted into biomass fuel, such as pellets,that are then sold at a premium. From a long-term perspective fuel crops are likely to be the most important source of biomass fuel. In Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, wood chips are being used as biomass power plant fuel.
The Biomass Series is an automated fed system with a storage bin, designed to be located next to your fuel storage for convenience, and is normally filled once a week (or longer), depending on the temperature outside and BTU’s needed. Our biomass boiler burns numerous types of fuel: woods chips, wood pellets, coal, silage, etc.
Find a biomass supplier. For domestic heating purposes the main biomass fuel is wood in the form of logs, pellets or wood chips. The full range of biomass fuels also include animal, food and industrial waste, and high energy crops such as miscanthus, willow, rape and maize.
Nov 28, 2011 · In the fuel sector, biodiesel and bioethanol are the only RE fuels produced, no alternatives exist as yet; in 2010, they covered 5.8 percent of the overall German fuel supply (2009: 5.5 percent). Baden-Württemberg’s energy concept calls for an increase in renewable energies as part of the overall national power supply.
For residential users, biomass is best employed as a source of heat in the colder months. While a simple wood-burning stove certainly counts as a biomass furnace, purpose-built biomass boilers can provide far more efficient heating. The most advanced models are entirely automatic and regulate their own operations carefully to get the maximum
Instead of using high-pressure steam from the main boiler, the low-pressure steam generated in the biomass boiler is used to meet the process demands of the coal-fired power plant. Parallel co-firing offers more opportunity for higher percentages of biomass fuels to be used in the boiler. This technology also offers lower operational risk and

If you are after a biomass boiler, a log boiler costs around £5,000 and a wood pellet boiler £15,000. However, fully automated wood pellet boilers with an automated fuel storage and delivery system could cost £25,000.
Finally, some boilers forsake the more traditional types of fuel altogether in favor of biomass. These are less common fuel types applied by environmentally progressive companies that utilize items like wood chips, corn husks, and various plant materials that surprisingly can be used to fuel boilers.

This is a list of suppliers of sustainable biomass fuel. and the best way to ensure this is to use an. best fuel for biomass boiler. Which biomass is the best source of alternative energy? Biomass heats best. Heat is produced
Biomass is a heating fuel made mainly of wood. You need a great deal of wood to generate the amount of heat you need, so you will need plenty of storage space if you choose this option. A biomass boiler may be a sensible option if you’re not on mains gas and you live in a woodland area where local farmers and landowners sell and deliver logs.
Grain can be an economical and convenient fuel for use in biomass boilers. 'Pourable' grain such as oats, wheat and barley have a low nitrogen content. Being a slightly denser fuel than miscanthus, it will require less space to store for the same amount of heat.
Biomass fuel can be co-fired in moderation (10 to 15 percent) to reduce fuel cost without detrimental effects on a PF boiler. When the biomass fuel is not available due to seasonal or other
May 06, 2020 ·
Boilers are typically available in efficiency ratings ranging from 80% - 96% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). A boiler's AFUE rating is an estimate of what percentage of the fuel used by a boiler is converted into usable heat for the home. By comparing AFUE ratings, you can get an idea of how much a boiler may cost to operate.

I grew up on a farm in North Carolina. We had pretty much “organic” by today’s standards and didn’t know what that meant…. we just grew our own food cause all Farms in the area did just that. We had chickens, cows, pigs, gardens for flowers and food, pets like dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, ducks, little chicks and horses for farming which I tried to ride…but that’s another story on another day. (I was known as a little Rebel right out of the shoot… and pretty hard to tame I reckon as the story goes.)
One of my all time favorite things though has always been Eggs! I love them any way you want to fix them. And just about every time I eat an egg, I think of my Grandpa telling me about the wooden eggs he whittled to keep the fox out of the hen house… I always was soooo fascinated that the fox would steal the wooden egg thinking it was real… Well Grandpa said the hens had to sit on it to keep it warm to fool him I guess. Anyway, must have been about 4 or 5 at the time and funny how some memories last a life time and remain as pleasant and fascinating as they did at that very moment!
Enjoy and Share! Thanks for chatting with me Too!

As the race for the White House heats up, Democratic candidates are focusing their energy on winning over one extremely important group in South Carolina–Black voters.
Unlike the previous two contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, which Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders split, South Carolina’s Democratic electorate is extremely diverse. In fact, more than 55 percent of the Palmetto State’s Dems are African Americans, and both candidates know they must win the Black vote if they want to be victorious.
Thursday, the Congressional Black Caucus Political Action Committee threw their support behind Clinton, a decision Rep. Gregory Meeks said was unanimous.
“In our deliberations we believe that the partner that the CBC PAC has had for years to elect Democrats across this country is Hillary Clinton,” Meeks said during a press conference. “Where we need someone to come to rally Democrats and especially African Americans, and at the request of the CBC PAC, Hillary Clinton has been there.”
Meeks touted Clinton’s commitment to the Black community as the reason the CBC PAC chose her over Senator Sanders.
“When the issues are important to our constituents Hillary Clinton has been there. She has been outspoken person in regards to the empowerment of Democrats and the Democratic agenda in its entirety,” he explained.
— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) February 11, 2016
Not all CBC members were on board with the endorsement, however. Rep. Keith Ellison said the CBC’s Political Action Committee–a separate entity than the entire CBC–endorsed the former Secretary of State without the body’s full input.
Cong'l Black Caucus (CBC) has NOT endorsed in presidential. Separate CBCPAC endorsed withOUT input from CBC membership, including me.
— Rep. Keith Ellison (@keithellison) February 11, 2016
Though Sanders has been energizing crowds across the country and almost beat Clinton in both Iowa and New Hampshire, many pundits have called South Carolina Clinton’s firewall because of her strong showing among Black voters. A recent NBC News-Wall Street Journal-Marist poll found 74 percent of South Carolina’s Black voters supported Clinton, compared to just 17 percent for Sanders.
Still, Sanders hasn’t given up on courting Black voters. Over the past few weeks, high-profile African Americans have endorsed the Vermont Senator. So far, former NAACP President Ben Jealous, Dr. Cornell West, writer Ta-nehisi Coates, and civil rights icon and activist Harry Belafonte are all feeling the Bern.
In a video statement, Belafonte said Sanders is giving voters “a choice to turn this ship of state called America around and place it on a new course.”
While Clinton is polling ahead of Sanders in South Carolina, it’s clear Black voters, and in particular Black women, will have a considerable say in who the next Democratic nominee will be.

President Mohamed Waheed Hassan has abolished the Ministry of Health and Family in favour of two new separate ministerial bodies.
The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Gender, Family and Human Rights have both now been established following the abolition of the previous healthcare body.
Under these two new bodies, Dr Ahmed Jamsheed Mohamed will retain his post as Minister of Health, while Dhiyana Saeed will head the Ministry of Gender, Family and Human Rights.
Saeed, former SAARC Secretary General and wife of recently-elected Jumhoree Party (JP) MP for Kaashidhoo, Abdulla Jabir, resigned from her SAARC position after criticising former President Mohamed Nasheed for the arrest of Chief Criminal Court judge, Abdulla Mohamed. Saeed was youngest SAARC Secretary General ever appointed and the first female.
Both new ministers conducted their respective oath of office today in-front of Supreme Court Judge Abdulla Areef, according to the President’s Office.
The ministerial changes were made a week after the government announced the abolition of the country’s Health Service Corporations. President Waheed said the service facilities provided by the corporations would be brought under control of the Ministry of Health.
The decision was taken by the cabinet based on the experiences of previous government health policy over the last three years, the government stated. The government claimed that a number of “challenges” needed to be faced in providing healthcare across the country’s atolls.
Just last month, the government announced that 30 state companies providing provincial health and utility services would be abolished to try and streamline various public services.
Seven health corporations charged with overseeing regional medical services were also dissolved in favour of returning their functions to the Ministry of Health and Family.
The now opposition Maldivan Democratic Party (MDP) criticised the decision as reversing the decentralisation policy that had been undertaken in recent years.
“Maldives’ geographical fragmentation means one central board or company will find it impossible to effectively monitor and deliver services in an equitable manner,” former President Nasheed’s former Policy Undersecretary Aminath Shauna told Minivan News at the time.
Mohammed Abdul Samad, temporary manager for Gan Regional Hospital in Addu Atoll, told Minivan News Thursday that he personally welcomed the decision to abolish the Health Service Corperations.
Samad claimed that despite the relative success in recent years of Maldives health policy in areas such as cutting infant mortality rates, the quality of health services had been generally declining.
“We are desperately in need for urgent supplies like certain injections. We have so many pending bills and the government has had to arrange money for us,” he said.
Samad, who said he was temporarily overseeing operations at Gan Regional Hospital, added that he therefore welcomed the decision to have the Ministry of Health oversee the former Health Service Corporations’ work.
He also claimed that the government would be better able to provide more technically-experienced health staff rather businessmen to oversee hospital operations.
Samad added that Gan Regional Hospital presently faced significant problems in paying off debts relating to much needed drug supplies.
He claimed that the Health Ministry faced major challenges in relation to hiring trained medical staff at hospitals around the country. Taking the example of Gan Regional Hospital alone, Samad said the site presently had the need to employ additional specialist staff like a second gynaecologist to meet local patient demand, though added that management were unable to find suitable candidates.

The FIBA World Cup is a lot more than just lifting the Naismith Trophy on September 10.
It also paves a path to the Paris 2024 Olympics and such is the joy of what has been witnessed so far, the so-called underdogs will have their day in the French capital in what many say is the sport’s most prestigious event.
Two teams from the Americas and Europe will book their spot via the World Cup with one spot allocated for Africa, Asia and Oceania. Despite a poor tournament, France are a lock as tournament hosts.
Australia have pipped New Zealand – as many people expected – on the Oceania side but it’s a dawning of a new era in Asia and Africa.
Japan rise for Asia
For many years, China has been the dominant force in Asia, but over the last five years, there has been a challenger to their throne.
And after an 80-71 win over Cape Verde, Japan now sits on top of Asian basketball and they will head to the Paris Olympics.
“We’re going to Paris,” said head coach Tom Hovasse shortly after the victory.
“These are the moments where you really get a chance to prove yourself, but also improve yourself. That’s the mindset all of our guys have. We’ve got some young guys that really stepped up.”
“It was great to win and get the Paris Olympics ticket,” added Keisei Tominaga, who finished with 22 points on 6 three-pointers in the win over a tough Cape Verde side on their FIBA World Cup debut.
South Sudan doin’ it for Africa
No doubt one of basketball’s greatest fairytales will have yet another chapter in Paris.
The story’s main character is South Sudan and they will fly the flag proudly in their first ever Olympics, next summer.
They took advantage of Egypt’s loss to New Zealand by hammering long-time African kings Angola 101-78 to finish the FIBA World Cup as the top-ranked African nation.
South Sudan’s rise to the World Cup has been well documented but this feat is even beyond their wildest hopes and dreams.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s a dream come true. We became an independent country in 2011. No one ever imagined or dreamed of being in this position,” Nuni Omot said.
“And now we’re going to have the chance to walk across the Olympic stage with our flag. It’s unbelievable everything that’s happened.
“Obviously, this is one of the most… I’m so emotional right now. It’s one of the best stories, sports stories that’s that’s came out in a long time. So I’m just I’m just very blessed to be a part of this.”
There are four more automatic Olympic births up for grabs in this incredible FIBA World Cup saga.

This game seems destined to be lost in the pack of Bayonetta, Dante's Inferno, and God of War III, but it sounds like it could be really good. Game Informer posted their review and the game sound like it's a Zelda clone with God of War combat. Then there is this (I put it in a spoiler tag because it mentions some gameplay stuff that people might think is spoilerish, though I don't. Nothing plot related):
For one level, Darksiders doesn’t hump God of War or Zelda’s leg. It instead shifts its admiration of great games to the most unlikely of candidates: Portal. Yes, War wields the portal gun. And yes, if you fire it once, it makes a blue doorway. Fire it again to create an orange exit. As strange of a fit as it may be, Vigil makes it work well with the context of the game. Some of the game’s greatest moments are tied to this device.
All of the familiar mechanics and designs are handled with care, almost making me think that the Zelda, Portal, and God of War teams were involved with Darksiders’ creation. From the complexity of the dungeon designs to the finesse of combat, Vigil shows us that it is capable of much more than imitation – it can twist decade-old ideas into new experiences, and make every battle a sweat-inducing affair.
Bayonetta seems too crazy for me. Like a brawler version of a shmup. Dante's Inferno will likely offend my sense of good taste. It looks like I'll have to keep an eye of Darksiders to get maybe get my fill of beat'em up action.

Stussy Cothing Brand held an instrumental music contest called Make Beats. Over 1,700 people submitted their tunes and a 16 year old named Zack Sekoff was chosen. The kid needed a photo to submit that didn’t have a gradient marble back ground in it so I was happy to take the job. He’s certainly more than meets the eye.
He comes to my place like he owns it, I’ve met him only once before but he treats me like we are best friends. He said some shit that I could have taken offense to had I not noticed he was really just being casual, so I roll with it. He is not being rude, just comfortable.
I am having trouble resolving why this white kid is so comfy in his skin, and why his music sounds the way it does. Not contrived or aspirational but genuine, so inquire on his past. ” My dad Jewish and went to George Washington Carver High School, and that school is exactly the way it sounds. I grew up on Soul, I used to listen to music that people that think they are cool listen to but everybody listens to.” We note some of the similarities between Jewish people and Blacks and how its not really a far stretch for him to fit in well where he does. He’s a bucket of energy this guy, sporadic and creative, his music is the same.
Here is the winning instrumental.
He is a bass guitarist by study, but he plays a the keys as well,drums , and some guitar. He says “esque” a lot, as if it is his favorite suffix. I can tell he smart, he talks like a rapper, and trips over the 2012 presidential race. “Hermain Cain is the Lil B of Politics”.
After the shoot he sends me a thank you text with an exclamation point and bugs me for 3 days for the rest of his photos. Zack is gracious and passionate, and it shows in his music.

After a couple of months off, I am restarting the weekly round-up with the aim of truly being weekly — Monday nights to be precise. Welcome back.
Let’s face it – this week it has been nigh on impossible to focus on anything other than the new administration. There have been some genomics related happenings:
- Berkeley geneticist Michael Eisen has announced he is running for the senate, likely as an independent, because the new administration’s attitude of “basic rejection of the fundamental principles upon which science is based”
- Trump announcedto pharma execs that his main focus for the FDA will be on improving time to market through decreased regulation. This has many in biotech concerned that hard won consumer protections may be lost, and that startups will not be able to compete alongside the pharma giants. Trump’s pick for the top job at the agency should be announced soon.
- Meanwhile, although Biotech executives were quick to condemn the immigration ban, pharma execs were mostly quiet— perhaps because Trump thinks they’re “getting away with murder” on pricing, and are hence not wanting to rock the boot.
Despite being dropped by Roche last year, PacBio claims to be doing well. They improved the chemistry to the point at which de novo assemblies (i.e. with no reference genome) became feasible on their Sequel machines. Meanwhile BGI has announced that 2017 will be the year that the tech it bought from Complete Genomics really starts delivering. They will first deliver quantitative RNA-seq on their BGISEQ-500, with plans later in the year to deliver a $600 whole genome.
The MedSeq project, who performed WGS on 100 healthy people and 100 cardiomyopathy patients, has reported that 6 months after sequencing, those who had received WGS results has not cost their health care systems much more than those who had not. This is one of the very few studies providing data on the cost and benefits of WES/WGS. A major worry that payors have is that NGS testing will spark a flurry of expensive follow on tests.
Heidi Rehm weighs in on how low cost sequencing will impact health care. The usual emphasis on the importance of data sharing and models to encourage that. This sentence was thought provoking, “Although genetic counsellors will undoubtedly be critical in this space, it will also become increasingly important to facilitate knowledge-building through online tools and for individuals to take an active role in educating themselves about genetics.” What shape should these online tools take, who should build them, and how to encourage people to take an active role in educating themselves?
Over the last couple of weeks there have been a couple of events to show how seriously gene editing is being taken:
- The ACMG published a Statement on Jan 26th 2017: “Genome editing is an area of very rapid technological change, so what is not possible today could well become a reality in the very near future… The potential for rapid advance of this approach, and the pressure to apply it clinically, should not be underestimated. The ACMG Board of Directors strongly encourages broad public debate regarding the clinical application of genomic editing.” They also call out application to nondisease traits.
- The FDA publishedits intent to regulate genetically modified animals in the same way they do drugs. This has not been popular.
Science – mostly association studies
Height has high heritability — 60-80% of variance in height is accounted for by genetics. We are moving from the world of genetic association studies that could only investigate common variants to the ability to probe rarer variants throughout the genome. When it comes to height, the work of the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium spans these approaches
- In the first iteration of work in 2014, GIANT had focused on polymorphisms — variants that are common (>5%) in the population. They found 700 such variants associated with height, the effect size for any given variant was ~1mm. This work lead to ~20% of heritability of height being explained.
- In their just publishedsecond iteration, GIANT focused on rarer variants (<5%, >0.01%) in protein coding genes, and found 83 variants, some of which contributed >2cm (nearly 1 inch) if height. Rarer variants like this are harder to study because you need larger sample sizes (this study used >700,000 people), but the rewards pay off. Now ~27% of heritability of height is explained.
This approach still used a chip design (rather than NGS). Explaining more of the heritability will come from larger sample sizes on the one hand, and looking at more of the genome on the other.
Meanwhile, a Chinese team has reported the first general population genome wide significant SNPs associated with mathematical ability, using a chip based assay to get at variants down to 2% frequency. Four SNPs in the SPOCK1 gene each effect match scores by 2.33-2.43 points. (The name of the gene seems very apt, though the high-functioning Vulcan was not the inspiration for the name). The motivation for getting at the genetic underpinnings of intelligence according to the authors: “Understanding mathematics ability is an essential step to improve children’s numeracy skills and academic achievements and could also provide novel insights into human brain functions.” This study is one of many in China focused on the genetic underpinnings of intelligence, something we in the West have far more “hang-ups” about studying.
Another large association study was published this week, this one on the genetic underpinnings of blood pressure. Part of the UK BioBank, this study used an exome chip (for variants down to 0.01%) as well as a SNP array (for variants down to 1%) and looked at over >140,000 individuals.
A study of 1463 whole genomes from Finnish individuals compared to the same number of British individuals reveals some of the hallmarks of population bottlenecks, including more loss of function variants in the Finnish population.
The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute reports on their experience of WES for cancer patients, looking at both germline and somatic variants. “The variant review and decision-making processes were effective when the process was changed from that of a Molecular Tumor Board to a protocol-based approach.”
CIViC, a community knowledgebase for expert crowdsourcing the clinical interpretation of variants in cancer, has published a summary of their efforts to date: there are 1,678 clinically relevant curated interpretations of 713 variants affecting 283 genes, using 1,077 publications, and performed by 58 curators. They are dedicated to openness (cough cough HGMD).

I'm not sure what's special about the live cd, but last time I booted off a usb
drive it was pretty much the same as booting off a normal drive: make a
filesystem on it, populate it with what you want, and run installboot.

From the Associated Press:
Roy Colette and his brother-in-law have been exchanging the same pair of pants as a Christmas present for 11 years – and each time the package gets harder to open. This year the pants came wrapped in a car mashed into a 3-foot cube.
The trousers are in the glove compartment of a 1974 Gremlin. Now Collette’s plotting his revenge–if he can get them out.
It all started when Collette received a pair of moleskin trousers from his brother-in-law, Larry Kunkel of Bensenville, Ill. Kunkel’s mother had given her son the britches when he was a college student. He wore them a few times, but they froze stiff in cold weather and he didn’t like them. So he gave them to Collette.
Collette, who called the moleskins “miserable”, wore them three times, then wrapped them up and gave them back to Kunkel for Christmas the next year.
The friendly exchange continued routinely until Collette twisted the pants tightly, stuffed them into a 3-foot-long, 1-inch wide tube and gave them back to Kunkel.
The next Christmas, Kunkel compressed the pants into a 7-inch square, wrapped them with wire and gave the “bale” to Collette.
Not to be outdone, the next year Collette put the pants into a 2-foot-square crate filled with stones, nailed it shut, banded it with steel and gave the trusty trousers back to Kunkel.
The brothers agreed to end the caper if the trousers were damaged. But they were as careful as they were clever.
Kunkel had the pants mounted inside an insulated window that had a 20-year guarantee and shipped them off to Collette.
Collette broke the glass, recovered the trousers, stuffed them into a 5-inch coffee can and soldered it shut. The can was put in a 5-gallon container filled with concrete and reinforcing rods and given to Kunkel the following Christmas.
Two years ago, Kunkel installed the pants in a 225-pound homemade steel ashtray made from 8-inch steel casings and etched Collette’s name on the side. Collette had trouble retrieving the treasured trousers, but succeeded without burning them with a cutting torch.
Last Christmas, Collette found a 600-pound safe and hauled it to Viracon Inc. in Owatonna, where the shipping department decorated it with red and green stripes, put the pants inside and welded the safe shut. The safe was then shipped to Kunkel, who is the plant manager for Viracon’s outlet in Bensenville.
Last week, the pants were trucked to Owatonna, 55 miles south of Minneapolis, in a drab green, 3-foot cube that once was a car with 95,000 miles on it. A note attached to the 2,000-pound scrunched car advised Collette that the pants were inside the glove compartment.
“This will take some planning,” Collette said. “I will definitely get them out. I’m confident.” But he’s waiting until January to think about how to recover the bothersome britches.
“Wait until next year,” he warned. “I’m on the offensive again.”>
