Big tech firms pay taxes ‘nowhere’ and it has to change – German vice-chancellor
“My biggest concern with the tech companies is that they tend to pay taxes nowhere,” Scholz said during an interview with CNBC earlier this week.
In recent months, some countries have targeted the digital giants, stressing that the firms’ revenues should be subject to fairer taxation. The corporations have been accused of trying to route some of their profits to low-tax member states, while benefiting from all European countries’ economies, especially through advertising.Also on rt.com Happy New Year, big tech! France starts taxing Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon
While countries have been unilaterally introducing levies on big tech corporations one by one, Scholz called for “a global agreement” on the matter, adding that “this would help a lot.”
France has been leading calls for the problem to be addressed, and did not wait for the rest of the EU to introduce measures. Paris applied a new levy known as GAFA tax (named after Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon) earlier this year and hopes it will raise up to €500 million ($568.3 million) annually. The country has also said that an extra tax of three percent will be applied to the revenues of at least 30 corporations – not only American ones, but also Chinese, German, Spanish and British.Also on rt.com Austria wants to impose tax on internet giants’ advertising revenues
Meanwhile, Austria is considering similar measures, and its government has recently proposed a five percent tax on the advertising revenues of global tech giants. The proposed levy is higher than its French counterpart, but the government has explained that it is seeking to get compensation for the years that internet giants avoided fair taxation.
The UK, which is going to leave the bloc, has floated a similar idea, while slamming “painfully slow” progress on the international agreement on corporate tax reform. Chancellor Philip Hammond said that the measure, set to come into force in April 2020, will raise £400 million ($523 million) annually.

You know that rule of threes when all things seem to align? Take, for instance, spring being right around the corner, the height of marathon season, and International Women’s Day. Now imagine all three of those things combined into a running shoe. Under Armour released a special edition of the pillowy Hovr Infinite to celebrate women everywhere.
We reviewed the plush Hovr Infinite at the beginning of the year, praising the shoe for its pillowy midsole built to withstand high mileage.
This International Women’s Day edition has an upper covered with blossoms—but it’s not just the exterior that celebrates feminism. The shoe is also specifically designed to anatomically fit a woman’s foot. Under Armour took wear tester feedback to create a running shoe with a thicker dual-density sockliner to cradle the arch, extra padding in a slightly raised heel, and a better fit in the ankle.
We can only hope the flowered upper also signals spring will soon be in full swing. The UA Hovr Infinite Floral is out now and available at underarmour.com.

Despite concerns about soaring Covid-19 rates in the Moscow region, Russia’s MAKS will become the first major air show to be held in the pandemic era when it begins on 20 July.
The biennial, six-day event is a chance for the country to showcase its aerospace capabilities to international visitors – although the usual attendance is likely to be suppressed this year as a result of travel restrictions – as well as a large domestic audience, for whom Russia’s prowess in military and commercial aviation, as well as spaceflight, are a source of great national pride.
While national exhibitors – from small technology companies and suppliers to the famous design bureaus that are now part of larger groups – occupy most of the space, MAKS also plays host to dozens of overseas manufacturers, which this year include Airbus, Boeing, Cirrus, De Havilland Canada, Safran, and Viking Air.
A number of notable Russian aircraft will be appearing at the show this year, such as the Irkut MC-21-310, the version of the narrowbody powered by domestic Aviadvigatel PD-14 engines, as well as the Ilyushin Il-114-300 regional turboprop and Il-112V high-wing light military transport. Less well known, the Baikal Engineering LMS-901 is a utility aircraft designed to replace the Antonov An-2.
As Moscow pushes industry to develop viable alternatives to Western commercial powerplants, propulsion will be a theme of this year’s event, with United Engine providing an update on the PD-35 and PD-8 programmes.
This year’s show, sited as ever at the technology and test flight hub of Zhukovsky, just outside Moscow, will be the 15th since the inaugural event in 1993. That took place just as the world was adapting to the end of the Soviet Union, and Russia’s vast aerospace industry was embracing a different vision of its future.
During the Cold War, Russia’s influence extended around the world, providing a ready market for its military aircraft. Its vast territory created a need for a large domestic commercial aerospace industry too, the products of which were also sold internationally.
Since the early 1990s, the country has had to work harder to win export customers, although programmes such as the Sukhoi Superjet and the MC-21 show that it is still prepared to place bets on ambitious civil aviation projects. In rotorcraft, Russian Helicopters remains a global giant with products that hold their own or more with those of Airbus, Bell, Boeing, Leonardo and Sikorsky.
The MAKS air show – from which we will be reporting, together with providing background analysis on some of the country’s key programmes and industrial priorities – will be a barometer of how well Russian industry is weathering the Covid storm, and its prospects in the post-pandemic future.

Take a sneak peek at what Sony CSL will show at Maker Faire Rome 2021
As anticipated a few days ago, Sony CSL Paris will be exhibiting at Maker Faire Rome 2021. Its “Open House” event awaits all attendees, whether on site or online
After the stop due to Covid restrictions, the doors of Sony CSL Paris are opening again, thanks to the usual “Open House” event which – as we revealed a few days ago, here on the blog – will take place during (and on the premises of) Maker Faire Rome 2021
Starting October 7, in fact, the day of the Maker Faire Rome 2021 Opening Conference (which, we reveal it, will also see an exceptional Sony speaker in the spotlight) and until 10 October, Sony CSL Paris will be exhibiting in the most evocative location, the Gazometro Ostiense, where a spacious exhibition area will be dedicated to CSL and other Sony division.
The most innovative CSL Paris research projects will be also presented: they range from smart cities to agriculture, from fake news to machine learning, from creativity to… Well, come and see it yourself, you’ll be amazed!
What “Open House” means
For the Sony CSL Paris this is a crucial time: not only because this year marks the 25th anniversary from its foundation, but also because the Open House will be an unvaluable occasion to meet a vast audience and, above all, it will create excellent matchmaking opportunities. The context of the Maker Faire Rome will, in fact, act as a propeller of opportunities for exchange, dialogue and reciprocity, out of which research is nourished and fostered.
For those reasons, the Sony CSL Paris Open House is not only an important moment for those who organize it, but it will be especially important for those who will visit the booth and attend, who will take the opportunity to get to know one of the most excellent research center of all Europe. which, although part of corporate context, stands out as a hub for a vast network of stakeholder, from academy to corporation, from public to private sector, as well as a “generator” for dozens of activities that spread their impact towards various areas of our society.
Don’t miss the opportunity to get to know Sony CSL Paris, the researchers who work there and the research projects they are developing.
We advise you not to miss the opportunity to see with your own eyes which direction its research is taking and how much it may impact our lives. It is extemely important to continue looking for solutions to the problems that are at the center of the public debate and citizens’ concerns, such as environmental sustainability, fighting fake news, improving the quality of our life, and many more.
Finally, don’t miss the opportunity to interact! At the Sony CSL Paris exbithing area at Maker Faire Rome, it will be possible to play with many installations. Besides, by doing so, you will contribute to the Open House itself, by providing Sony CSL with a feedback that is extremely valuable to orientate additional initiatives.
Looking forward to welcoming you at the Sony CSL Paris exhibiting area from Oct 8 through Oct 10 at Gazometro Ostiense in Rome.
In the meantime, stay tuned: we might spoil some other information!

CMC is the NEPA region's leading provider of quality healthcare services.
Gastric tissue biopsy is the removal of stomach tissue for examination. A culture is a laboratory test that examines the tissue sample for bacteria and other organisms that can cause disease.
Culture - gastric tissue; Biopsy - gastric tissue
The gastric tissue biopsy sample is removed during an upper endoscopy. You will usually be given medicines to make you drowsy or less anxious before the test starts. For information on how this procedure is performed, see upper endoscopy (or EGD).
The health care provider sends the tissue sample to a laboratory where it is placed in a special dish and checked periodically to see if bacteria or other organisms have grown. This is called a culture.
Don't eat or drink anything for 6 - 12 hours before the biopsy procedure. For more information see upper endoscopy.
For information on how the biopsy procedure will feel, see: Upper endoscopy.
The laboratory culture is painless, since it does not involve the patient.
A gastric tissue biopsy and culture may be done to look for:
A gastric tissue culture may be considered normal if it does not show certain bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori or giardia.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Stomach acids normally prevent too much bacteria from growing. A gastric tissue culture may be considered abnormal if it shows certain bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori, which plays a role in ulcer disease.
There are no risks associated with a culture. For information on risks related to the biopsy procedure, see upper endoscopy.

David Hogg’s week keeps going from bad to worse, like a snowball rolling downhill and gathering weight as it heads towards its inevitable destruction. Following an embarrassing, failed attempt at getting attention on Tuesday, Hogg received the last news that he wanted to hear.
In a new Quinnipiac poll released on Wednesday, the Parkland students as a group received a 62 percent disapproval rating among Republicans with a mere 22 percent having a favorable opinion of the teenagers, led by Hogg. The response is not shocking due to the fact that these teenagers are fighting and marching to strip the rights of law-abiding Americans.
Still, their support among Democrats remains strong as their public presence and influence have begun to wane. On Tuesday, Hogg and his band of misfits worked hard to get another school walkout for more gun control to trend on Twitter, but they failed miserably.
The crew’s appearances on national television promoting increased gun control are now few and far between. And because of that, their influence on the gun control narrative has also fallen, as has the support for increased restrictions on gun ownership. The same poll found that those who support “stricter gun control laws” fell 10 percent, from a high of 66 percent the week of the Parkland school shooting that claimed 17 lives, to 56 percent on Wednesday.
This news came days after Fox News host Laura Ingraham returned to her nightly television show after criticizing Hogg and calling him a whiner for complaining about not getting into his colleges of choice. Hogg attempted to create a boycott of Ingraham’s show among advertisers which saw mild success until the creator of My Pillow decided that he was not going to cut ties with Ingraham. That was followed by Fox News issuing a statement of support for its embattled host.
That marked the first major defeat for Hogg. Still, the Hogg effect has had some advertisers shaking in their boots. A conservative television and radio host, Jamie Allman, was forced to resign after he made disparaging remarks about the teen and advertisers began abandoning ship. Also, Skowhegan Savings Bank fired Republican Mayor Nick Isgro after a controversial tweet in which he said: “Eat it, Hogg.”
Isgro deleted the tweet, but it was too late. Democrats seized on the tweet and the former mayor of Waterville, Maine, Karen Heck, started a recall petition on Monday in an attempt to get enough signatures to recall the mayor, Central Maine reported.
John Witherspoon, president and CEO of Skowhegan Savings Bank, told Central Maine that it was Mayor Isgro’s decision to leave the bank and that he was not fired. But Governor Paul LePage was not buying it as he issued a letter of support for Mayor Isgro and chastised Witherspoon and the bank.
“Your decision to discharge Nick Isgro is a mistake you will likely come to regret,” Governor LePage, who was a former two-term Republican mayor of Waterville, wrote. “You have fallen prey to the leftist hate ideology that refuses to recognize free speech.” In a phone interview with Central Maine, Governor LePage said that the tweet did not rise to the level of a firing offense from the bank where Isgro was a controller and assistant vice president.
“My point is, this issue, to me, is not a political issue,” he said. “This is a First Amendment issue. This comment doesn’t, in my mind, reach the level of a business panicking and (Isgro) getting fired.”
But the bank issued a statement apologizing to the residents of Waterville. “On behalf of the bank, we apologize to those in the community who have been offended, including our own employees and the students in Florida, for what I would say was thoughtless and inappropriate behavior,” Witherspoon wrote.
Mayor Isgro released his own statement on Wednesday thanking his supporters. “Having spent the majority of the last several days from sun up to the time I go to bed trying to keep up with responding to all of the messages, phone calls, and texts – literally thousands – of support from all of you the people in the face of attacks from a dark and well-funded leftwing media and their allies. I am incredibly humbled and at a loss for words. It is you the people along with my wife Amanda and our children that give me the strength to keep fighting this fight, and my promise to you is to never back down on your behalf. God bless you all, and thank you!” he said.
Regardless of those actions, it is apparent that Hogg and his crew are fading into the background of the national stage as America’s attention shifts to a potential war with Syria while CNN cannot stop talking about pornstar Stormy Daniels. The clock has struck midnight, and Hogg’s carriage has become a pumpkin.

Fluorescence-based incision assay for human XPF-ERCC1 activity identifies important elements of DNA junction recognition
Bowles, M. and Lally, J. and Fadden, A.J. and Mouilleron, S. and Hammonds, T. and McDonald, Neil Q. (2012) Fluorescence-based incision assay for human XPF-ERCC1 activity identifies important elements of DNA junction recognition. Nucleic Acids Research 40 (13), e101. ISSN 0305-1048.

The structure-specific endonuclease activity of the human XPF–ERCC1 complex is essential for a number of DNA processing mechanisms that help to maintain genomic integrity. XPF–ERCC1 cleaves DNA structures such as stem–loops, bubbles or flaps in one strand of a duplex where there is at least one downstream single strand. Here, we define the minimal substrate requirements for cleavage of stem–loop substrates allowing us to develop a real-time fluorescence-based assay to measure endonuclease activity. Using this assay, we show that changes in the sequence of the duplex upstream of the incision site results in up to 100-fold variation in cleavage rate of a stem-loop substrate by XPF-ERCC1. XPF–ERCC1 has a preference for cleaving the phosphodiester bond positioned on the 3′-side of a T or a U, which is flanked by an upstream T or U suggesting that a T/U pocket may exist within the catalytic domain. In addition to an endonuclease domain and tandem helix–hairpin–helix domains, XPF has a divergent and inactive DEAH helicase-like domain (HLD). We show that deletion of HLD eliminates endonuclease activity and demonstrate that purified recombinant XPF–HLD shows a preference for binding stem–loop structures over single strand or duplex alone, suggesting a role for the HLD in initial structure recognition. Together our data describe features of XPF–ERCC1 and an accepted model substrate that are important for recognition and efficient incision activity.

Is it necessary to have the internacional driver license to rent a car in Portugal and Spain? We are non European citizens.
i´m not sure if you´ll always need it, but in most of the cases, you will... Some requirements: - you must be older than 23 - you must have more than 2 years license - you have to process the internacional license about 8 years ago
Two nights in San Sebastian or split time with other Northern seaside towns like Getaria? Recommendations on places to say.
I´m agree with xabi. Perhaps,to be the first time, the visit of San sebastian could be most respresentative (in this case spend the two days there) but I think that the small villages of the coast have a different magic... really wonderfull places as Xabier says. In the small villages you can feel the tradicional culture, and on the other hand in San Sebastian you could see the modern face of the basque culture. Finaly and fortunately, i think that choice of either of the two options, will be a success. I hope to enjoy it! over 8 years ago

wish: Support for interest on an account
Bug #609111 reported by grooveharder on 2010-07-23
This bug affects 6 people
Love Homebank, use it every single day. Having support for interest would be such a great feature. One way it could be implemented is in the form of an automatic transaction that pays a percentage of an account's balance.

When you spend as much time watching French National Hunt racing as I do, you like to think you have a pretty good handle on the form and how it translates to the UK and Ireland. It is never an exact science, especially as the vast majority of horses who are sold to race this side of the Channel are very lightly raced and open to any amount of improvement. However, there is a definite edge to understanding the level of form that a horse has reached in France, especially as the majority of Bookmakers will price a French horse on its connections and the bare numbers of its form, rather than what it has actually achieved. The other key angle is the French program book, where the vast majority of races are run over no further than 4000m, or 2-miles and 4-furlongs. As a result, a huge number of horses who arrive in the UK can find improvement for a step up in trip that would not have been available to them in their native France.
In truth there are loads of angles with French horses, many of which get missed because everyone is looking for the Triumph hurdle winner. If you read this blog on a regular basis you will have seen that I recently posted the list of 100 horses that have moved to the UK and Ireland this summer. The plan, work commitments permitting, is to provide a short written profile for each horse as they make their UK or Irish debuts and we start with a 4-year-old who has joined Milton Harris and who is due to make his debut for the yard at Warwick this Thursday.
Seigneur Des As - Milton Harris
On the bare form, Seigneur des As is 0-8 in his career and that does need to be taken into account, as does the fact that he has already been Chasing in France, which is normally a negative for me. I think it would probably be fair to say that it is not all about this Thursday at Warwick, as a small field maiden hurdle on relatively good ground is unlikely to be his game. However, he has shown enough ability during his time with the Mele yard to suggest that there are races to be won with him, especially once the ground softens. The French handicapper has him on a rating of 58-kilos, which would equate to 128 or so if the British handicapping team take the rating literally (which they are highly likely to do). He probably fits nicely into a 0-130 category and he has decent enough form in France to suggest he will be able to win races at that level.
French 3-year-old Chasing is a completely different discipline to anything he is likely to experience in the UK for Milton Harris. Normally, this would be a concern for me, as French Chasers jump very different fences and they can learn some bad habits of crashing through the top because of the different nature of the fences in France. He finished 2nd in a Class 2 Chase at Pau on Christmas Eve, a solid piece of form, as was his 5th placed finish at Auteuil 3-weeks before, but his final start is what makes him most interesting. Officially he finished 5th, beaten 23-lengths by Morgan Has, but that does not tell the whole story. This was a Listed Chase for 4-year-olds and he was able to mix it at this level, still in with a chance as they turned for home before an error at the 2nd last put pay to his momentum and he was allowed to make his own way home.
He is a son of It's Gino, out of Dallidas, a Listed placed mare who reached a peak rating of 70-kilos (154) during her career, whilst the family also includes Hippomene, who boasts the Grade 1 Prix Renaud du Vivier on her CV. All of he family stay well and once he has acclimatised to racing with Milton Harris, there should be some decent staying races for him in the Novice chasing division.

- Who is an ideal candidate for the One-Year Program?
- Can you still have a full "MBA experience" in the One-Year Program?
- What does the career search process look like for One-Year MBA Program students?
- How do employers feel about the One-Year Program?
- What types of post-MBA jobs do not require a summer internship?
- As a One-Year MBA student, is it difficult to transition from the summer session to the fall semester?
- If I am unsure if I am a fit for the One-Year MBA Program, can I apply to both the One-Year and Two-Year MBA programs?
- Are there any prerequisite courses; and, if so, how can I complete the pre-program requirements?
- What will my course schedule look like?
The MBA Career Management Center will begin to work with you over the summer to prepare you for the full time job search. During the summer you will attend a Professional Development Class where you will work on your resume, practice your interview skills, develop your job search plan and begin networking. One-Year Program students will begin the On Campus recruiting process in September, a short three months after the start of the program-- a critical reason it helps to bring focused career goals to Goizueta.
MBA recruiters understand the structure and rigor of our One-Year MBA Program and historically One-Year MBA candidates obtain job offers at a pace and salary level consistent with our Two-Year students.
Based upon past experience, our One-Year students are successful in obtaining positions in fields such as consulting, corporate finance, health care, real estate, rotational leadership programs and select marketing roles. Securing a post-MBA position through the One-Year Program is directly related to the professional experience the student brings to the program, their transferrable knowledge and skills and the opportunities seized within the program.The One-Year MBA Program also is a natural fit for candidates planning to work in a family business, pursue an entrepreneurial venture or pair studies with graduate degrees in law, medicine and physical therapy.
As a One-Year MBA student, is it difficult to transition from the summer session to the fall semester?
After spending an intense summer with 40-50 students, it might seem overwhelming to join the 2nd year students in the fall; however, Goizueta 2nd year students look forward to the incoming One-Year students joining their class and a deliberate effort is made to integrate the two classes. In addition to classroom activities, there are several social and networking opportunities to meet your classmates from the Two-Year Program. The transition from core classes to elective coursework is a seamless adjustment for most students.
If I am unsure if I am a fit for the One-Year MBA Program, can I apply to both the One-Year and Two-Year MBA programs?
It is common for our candidates to apply to multiple programs at Goizueta. Candidates may submit one application, indicating their program preference(s). The Admissions Committee will evaluate you for all the programs to which you apply and you will receive a decision to each of these programs. If you are accepted to more than one program, you may speak with an Admissions or Career Management representative to determine which program may be the better fit to achieve your professional objectives.
If you have not completed a semester of statistics, microeconomics and financial accounting prior to enrollment, you must fulfill these requirements by taking MBA Math courses online in conjunction with our Academic Pre-Session classes which are held a week before orientation. Candidates who would like additional preparation may take local college classes or enroll in online extension courses offered through University of California-Berkeley or Harvard University. Our Admissions Office can help advise you on the best course for you.
Academic Pre-Sessions Begin: May 5, 2014 (Tentative Date)
Mandatory Orientation Program begins on May 13, 2014. (Tentative Date)

Let’s start with first things first. I submit that we, the sender of the message, must take responsibility for clear communication. We are in the place of choice. We choose the words, the medium, often even the timing of our communication. When I take responsibility for communicating clearly, I relieve you of the burden of interpretation.
Some say that communication is a two way street. Sometimes it can feel like a superhighway. Sometimes it takes great care to make sure you don’t get run over on the road of life.
Take co-workers for example. Have you ever looked at the work you’ve assigned to an employee or co-worker and been frustrated that the time they spent (and you paid for) was wasted on something you didn’t want at all?
To avoid this frustration, let’s become proactive when we assign tasks, beginning with these four simple steps.
1. Before you lay out a task for any co-worker, lay it out for yourself. Write out the steps you want them to follow in an email or a memo, being sure that the explanation of each step is clear and in language they will understand. I.e.: don’t talk sales speak to your accounting person.
2. Meet with them and give them a copy of the steps you have laid out. Having something in writing to refer back to as they work can save hours later. Hours it would take to correct any misunderstandings.
3. Repeat and verify the steps in an email or memo after you meet with them. Few things are more sure than having matters in writing.
4. Last, ask them to repeat back to you what they are supposed to do. Do this carefully and casually as a part of the conversation. Don’t make them feel ignorant. Say something like, “How do you see this working? I want to be sure that we are on the same page.”
No matter how you choose to do it, take responsibility that what you said is what they heard. The more WE take this responsibility, the less confusion and fewer mistakes will ensue.

Major payment schemes have released roadmaps for the global completion of EMV® contact and contactless technology migration, such as Mastercard’s milestone, to help POS vendors anticipate the development of EMV capable solutions in the near future.
Even though the migration to EMV has started in the early 90s in Europe which is now a mature market, it has only been introduced 2 years ago in the US and still need to be promoted.
Mastercard requires that from October 2018, newly deployed POS terminals support EMV contact and contactless functionalities.*
And all POS systems shall embed EMV and contactless technology by April 2023.*
*Please note that these rules and dates may defer according the regions, such as US or Canada, and the nature of the deployed terminals (POS, mPOS, unattended terminal, integrated POS…).
The other major payment schemes have also edited milestones to achieve EMV and contactless payments’ expansion. Do not hesitate to contact your Alcineo representative to obtain further information, at : email@example.com.

Believe it or not, mustard is not just a common condiment that makes your food tastier, it actually improves your health. Mustard is made from the seed of the mustard plant. Mustard is one of the world’s most ancient spices. Long before us, mustard was considered a healing agent rather than a food. Hippocrates used mustard seed for all kinds of ailments. The making of mustard was perfected by the French. By the 9th century mustard was being made by French monks who brought in significant income from mustard preparations.
Is Mustard More Than Just A Condiment?
Mustard not only stimulates the appetite (increasing the production of saliva by up to 8 times), it also promotes digestion. Mustard is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and slightly laxative agent. Small quantities of mustard can neutralize toxins and helps with indigestion. Mustard can be considered a nutritional superstar.
One teaspoon of white mustard seed contains 84.2mg of omega-6 fatty acids, 87.1mg of omega-3 fatty acids, 22.2mg of potassium, 9.7mg of magnesium,27.3mg of phosphorous, and 16.9 mg of calcium.
Unbelievable Health Benefits of Mustard
- Mustard seed contains Allyl Isothiocyanate (AITC). AITC has been scientifically shown to “strongly inhibit bladder cancer development and progression,” according to this 2010 study published in the science journal Carcinogenesis.
- Mustard is one of the few sources of selenium. Selenium is known to possess anti-inflammatory properties. It was also found to reduce the severity of asthma.
- Mustard Seeds are loaded with antioxidants. Mustard seeds contain a number of potent phytochemicals that protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals.
- Mustard Seeds speed up metabolism thus helping you loose weight. In fact, a researcher from England’s Oxford Polytechnic Institute discovered that eating a teaspoon of hot mustard can boost metabolism 20 to 25 percent for several hours after eating. The heat in spicy mustard will raise your internal body temperature during digestion so the spicier your mustard is the better.
- Mustard Seeds help ease and get rid of migraines. This is due to magnesuim and Omega-3 Fatty Acids present in mustard.
- Mustard Seeds possess antiseptic and anti-fungal properties.
- Mustard seeds contain great amounts of phytonutrients called glucosinolates. Phytonutrients compounds enable the body to fight against gastrointestinal cancer. Isothiocyanates that are made from glucosinolates prevent cancers by suppressing the growth of cancer cells.
- Mustard also contains sulphur, which has been used as a treatment for skin diseases. Sulphur is a vital mineral needed by our bodies. It has natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It’s a healing mineral which promotes circulation and decreases inflammation.
So keep on passing that bottle of mustard as it delivers unbelievable health benefits for your body.

Right under their noses, and sooner or later, it will boil over.
The Hold Steady.
Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters.
Doesn’t make sense, does it?
This year, a handful of students at Enloe High School in Raleigh North Carolina appear to have plotted perhaps the most unimaginative prank in high school history: tossing water balloons at other students. But thanks to aggression from the school’s administration and local police, the prank didn’t end peacefully.
In anticipation of the prank, school officials called in “increased security” and teachers held their students inside classrooms. After the balloons flew, seven boys were arrested, at least one handcuffed after being taken down down the asphalt by police.
Six are being charged with disorderly conduct, while one is being charged with assault and battery.
So I went looking for pictures of the students, and now I’m not so surprised — most of the \ kids are black.

Tributes poured in from Bollywood and beyond as news spread of the death of legendary Indian actor Dev Anand. Mr. Anand died of a heart attack in London on Saturday night. He was 88.
Mr. Anand, an actor, producer and director, had a prolific career that spanned 65 years, leaving an indelible mark on Hindi cinema. For millions of fans and colleagues he was affectionately known as “Dev Saab.”
Here are five things India Real Time will remember him most for:
1. “Guide.” This 1965 film is the story of a carefree tourist guide who falls in love with a married woman. He then steals from her and is jailed. After prison, his life takes an unexpected turn: he becomes a saint-like figure. Mr. Anand starred in this unlikely lead role, which became one of his most celebrated performances. But it wasn’t always meant to be. Mr. Anand said many had doubts about this role: “People called me mad for making Guide at the time. They also thought I made a wrong decision by playing a saint who dies in the end at a point in my career when I was a romantic star. People said the film will go down the drain and I will lose everything from my pocket,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
“Guide,” which also stars actress Waheeda Rehman, is now a classic of Hindi cinema. It is one of Mr. Anand’s many box-office hits, which also include “Baazi” (1951), “Jaal” (1952), “Taxi Driver” (1954), “CID” (1956), “Kala Paani” (1958), “Hum Dono” (1961), “Jewel Thief” (1965), “Prem Pujari” (1970), and “Hare Rama Hare Krishna” (1971).
2. The Smokers’ Anthem. Mr. Anand will be remembered almost as much for his songs as for his memorable film roles. He teamed up with talented composers to give music lovers some of the most hummable Hindi tunes ever. One of them – “Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhata Chala Gaya,” Hindi for “I go along with this life” – went on to become an anthem of sorts for smokers. Featured in the 1961 film “Hum Duno,” the song included the “Har Fikr ko dhue mein udhata chala gaya,” which roughly translates as: “I puff away the worries with the smoke.”
The song is really about embracing a carefree attitude, a philosophy which Mr. Anand, a non-smoker, was said to live by.
Mr. Anand’s hit songs are too many to list. The following are must-haves on any Dev Anand playlist: “Abhi Na Jao Chhodkar,” “Main Zindagi ka Saath,” “Dil ka Bhanwar Kare Pukar,” “Khoya Khoya Chaand,” “Tere Mere Sapne,” “Gaata Rahe Mera Dil,” “Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechara,” “Accha Jee Main Haari,” “Phoolon Ke Rang Se.”
3. “Dum Maaro Dum.” In the 1970s, Mr. Anand wrote, produced, directed as well as acted in the film “Hare Rama Hare Krishna.” A song featured in the film, “Dum Maaro Dum,” Hindi for “take a puff,” became a symbol for Indian hippies. The clip from the movie that went with the song had Mr. Anand’s co-star Zeenat Amaan smoking marijuana and singing about the experience. The song, originally sung by Asha Bhonsle, remained so popular over the years that Deepika Padukone did a cover of it in the 2011 film “Dum Maaro Dum.”
4. His Walk: Mr. Anand was known for his trademark sloping walk, which added to his charisma. Like many of his Hollywood contemporaries, Mr. Anand was known for his Rockabilly hairstyle and his leather jackets. Dubbed as the “Adonis of Indian Cinema,” the actor modestly denied there was any such thing as the Dev Anand style. In an interview a few years ago he said: “There’s no Dev Anand style. I have longer arms than my coats so I pull them up and I like it. If you love yourself, when you are going to a party and you meet a lot of wonderful people, you look at yourself in a mirror and ask yourself what sort of shirt and suit you are wearing. If you like yourself, you are going to conquer. That’s self-confidence.”
5. His youthful spirit. Ask people how they would describe Mr. Anand, and they are likely to use words like “exuberant,” “evergreen,” “young” and “lively.” His zest for life and filmmaking will be a hard one to beat in the industry. In an interview for his 88th birthday, Mr. Anand said: “My life is the same and I am at a beautiful stage at 88. I am as excited as I was in my 20s.” Until his last days, he was still thinking of making more films and had flirted with the idea of working on a sequel to his acclaimed film “Hare Rama Hare Krishna.”
“I am always in a rush because time is slipping away and I am chasing it, chasing it. I have so many stories to tell but where is the time. I wish I am born again as Dev Anand and people will see a young star 25 years later. That will give me some time to finish what I want to do,” he said.

On Wednesday Mark returned to not just the Number One cable-news show, not just the Number One show in all of cable TV, but latterly the top show in all primetime TV, the ratings phenomenon "Tucker Carlson Tonight". The subject under discussion was Seattle hiring as its "street czar" a former pimp - and for a salary higher than more than three-fifths of US governors':
"If you were seriously interested in any of the issues that have been roiling America for the last six months, you would not be appointing a pimp as a 'street czar' for 150 grand," said Steyn, who added that such hiring decisions explain the "permanent decline" of some American cities.
Click below to watch:
You can see the full hour of "Tucker Carlson Tonight", including breaking news of more cop shootings in American cities, here. We congratulate Tucker on his continuing spectacular ratings success - which is wholly deserved, and is in the teeth of far less talented rivals actively demanding he be forced off air.
If you're one of that small brave band who enjoy Steyn on camera, he'll be back tonight for the premiere of a brand new documentary from Marc Morano and Kevin Sorbo on the new world the global warm-mongers are planning for us, some of which we've had a glimpse of during this year's lockdowns. Mark is in the picture along with many of your favorite climate deniers.
Because most movie theaters around the planet are closed right now, Climate Hustle 2 is premiering as a livestream, with a screening tonight at 8pm - that's 8pm wherever you and your viewing apparatus happen to be. So it's 8pm Greenwich Mean Time, 8pm in Helskini, 8pm in Cairo, 8pm in Vancouver, 8pm in Ouagadougou... Tickets are $14.99 and available here.
Here's the promo - including a half-a-dozen words or so from Steyn:
If you prefer Mark in non-visual formats, please tune in tomorrow, Friday, for the weekend edition of The Mark Steyn Show - or catch up, if you've yet to hear it, with his latest rollicking Tale for Our Time, The Prisoner of Windsor.
The Mark Steyn Show and Tales for Our Time are made with the support of members of The Mark Steyn Club. You can find more details about our Club here - and we also have a great gift membership.

If you’ve been researching a trip to Oslo, you’ve probably seen something about the Oslo Pass. The pass is an all-in-one discount card that gives you free entry to most major museums in the city, as well as free transportation in Oslo and the surrounding region.
The pass will cost you a fair amount upfront, but it promises to save you much more in the long run. So how can you be sure if the Oslo Pass is the right option for you and your travel plans? We ran the numbers and created this simple guide to help you decide.
So, what exactly is the Oslo Pass?
Aimed at tourists, the Oslo Pass is a special card that lets you enter many museums and attractions in Oslo for free. It also lets you use the public transport network for free, and gives you money off at local attractions and restaurants.
The pass is good for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 72 hours, depending on which version you buy. Once you first start using the pass, just write the date and time on it and it will be considered ‘active’. You have to show the pass every time you enter a museum or are asked to show a ticket on public transport, so make sure you get the date and time right!
What’s included with the pass?
The Oslo Pass includes free admission to over 30 museums, ranging from the big-ticket attractions to lesser-known sights such as… er…. the Oslo Reptile Museum. Here are some of the top attractions you can visit for free:
- Munch Museum
- National Gallery
- Norwegian Folk Museum
- Viking Ship Museum
- Kon-Tiki Museum
- Historical Museum
- Nobel Peace Center
- International Museum of Children’s Art
- Museum of Oslo
- Natural History Museum
- And many more
Additionally, the pass offers you free access to several guided walking tours of Oslo. The 72-hour version of the pass also lets you join the hop-on, hop-off city cruise, which takes passengers out in the Oslofjord for a bit of island hopping.
What about discounts?
Other perks include discounts on activities such as zip-lining through the tree tops at the Oslo Summer Park or experiencing a hair-raising ski jump at the Holmenkollen Ski simulator – although most discounts are only up to 20% off the usual rates.
Discounts also extend to various restaurants around the city, from the American-inspired Hard Rock Café to the historic Café Christiania, which offers classic Norwegian cuisine. The complete list of sites covered by the Oslo Pass can be found here.
The pass also includes free use of all forms of public transportation in zones 1 and 2, which covers pretty much every attraction you’d want to see in the city as well as travel to and from many of Oslo’s surrounding suburbs.
Keep in mind, though, that both Gardermoen and Torp airports lie outside of these zones, so transport to and from the airports is not covered by the pass.
How much does the Oslo Pass cost?
There are three different versions of the pass for adults, children (4-15), and seniors (67+), each with validity periods of 24, 48, or 72 hours. There aren’t any student discounts available for the Oslo Pass when you buy online (you’ll have to buy in person in Oslo and show valid student ID).
|Adult||Child (age 4–15)||Senior (67+)|
|24-hour Oslo Pass||395||210||315|
|48-hour Oslo Pass||595||295||475|
|72-hour Oslo Pass||745||370||595|
Costs (in Norwegian kroner) are correct at the time of publication.
Where can I buy the Oslo Pass?
The easiest and cheapest option is to buy online in advance.
Alternatively, the Oslo Pass can be purchased on arrival at a few different points around the city, including the Oslo Visitor Center at the Central Train Station and the Ruter service points at Aker Brygge. You can also buy the Oslo Pass at the airport (Gardermoen), and at some hostels and hotels in the city centre.
Now, the million-dollar question: is the Oslo Pass worth buying?
Given the relatively low value of the discounts on offer, the main benefit of the Oslo Pass is the free entry to the city’s many museums. And, if you’re planning to do a lot of sightseeing, then the Oslo Pass is definitely worth buying.
This is especially true if you’ll be visiting some of the museums on the Bygdøy peninsula, like the Maritime Museum. Here, having the Oslo Pass is definitely a smart choice and will save you cash. Each of the four maritime-themed museums on the peninsular costs around 100 NOK to enter, and the Folk Museum (with its famous stave church) costs 150 NOK.
All of these museums are interesting and worth checking out, but some of the smaller ones can be enjoyably explored in just 30-45 minutes. If you take public transport round trip to and from the peninsula, and then poke your head into all five museums for even a few minutes, you will have easily covered the cost of the both the 24 and 48-hour passes.
The Oslo Pass also includes free use of the Museum Ferry, an express boat service that runs regularly between the Bygdøy peninsula and the harbour in front of City Hall. Without the pass, this alone would cost you around 60 NOK each way.
So for museums and attractions the pass is almost always worth it, but there’s no need to buy the pass if you’re just planning a few short trips on public transport. The free use of public transit might appear to be an attractive benefit, but a standalone 24-hour public transport ticket is only around 90 NOK in zone 1, which includes all of Oslo.
This ticket allows unlimited travel on all forms of public transportation in the city, including the boats to the nearby islands in Oslofjord, and is less than a quarter of the price of a 24-hour Oslo Pass. By using the Ruter Ticket app on your phone, it’s also easy to buy.
Keep in mind that Oslo is a comparatively small capital city which can easily be explored on foot, and most attractions are in the central part of town, so you may not need to use public transport much at all.
Three days in Oslo: would you save cash?
The list below compares prices for transport and regular adult tickets at several Oslo museums to the cost of a three-day adult Oslo Pass. This list is for a fairly busy trip, and includes visits to 9 of Oslo’s most popular attractions and 6 trips on public transport.
|The DIY option||Oslo Pass|
|Entry to Astrup Fearnley Museum||120||n/a|
|Entry to Munch Museum||100||n/a|
|Entry to Norway’s Resistance Museum||60||n/a|
|Entry to National Gallery (for The Scream)||100*||n/a|
|Entry to Folk Museum||130||n/a|
|Entry to Viking Ship Museum||100||n/a|
|Joint entry to Kon Tiki/Fram/Maritime Museum||270||n/a|
|6 x trips on public transport||198||n/a|
Costs (in Norwegian kroner) are for one adult and assume a three-day trip to Oslo. All prices correct at time of publication. *Except Thursdays, when admission is free for everyone.
If you managed to cover all of these Oslo attractions in three days, you’d spend more than 1000 NOK. But if you bought the 72-hour pass, you’d only spend 745 NOK – that’s a nice tidy saving of more than 300 NOK, giving you lots more cash for yummy Norwegian beer.
The Oslo Pass: our verdict
If you plan on having a fun-packed trip, then the Oslo Pass is definitely going to give you good value – especially if you’ll be doing the rounds at the museums. You can buy it online and pick it up on arrival from the Oslo Visitor Center (at the main train station).
If you’re looking for more ideas on how to enjoy Oslo on a budget, be sure to check out our list of 40 free things to do in Oslo.

Types of Mattresses Available at Mattress Outlet Elmhurst
There are many options for mattresses.
Mattress Outlet Elmhurst offers a huge selection.
A hybrid mattress is a terrific option whether you’re shopping for a new mattress or simply want to replace your existing one. These mattresses blend foam and innerspring coils, two different types of materials. These materials offer excellent support and comfort.
Hybrid bedding can also be used to cool down. Many businesses manufacture hybrid mattresses that contain cooling elements, such as gel in their memory foam. You should also consider a mattress protector.
Hybrid mattresses come in different firmness ratings. For heavier people, they may be an option. They are ideal for couples who want to share a mattress.
For those who prefer to sleep overheated, hybrid mattresses are a wonderful option. Hybrid mattresses are great for couples sharing one bed, because they provide motion isolation.
An innerspring bed is a wise choice for many reasons. It is flexible and can relieve pressure points. It is also a reasonable choice.
The best innerspring mattresses have individually pocketed coils. You may modify the stiffness of each individual coil with these coils.
Pocketed coils help to reduce motion transmission. However, these systems can increase vibrations due to spouses turning in bed.
The latest addition to the innerspring mattress collection is the hybrid mattress. These mattresses combine both the best parts of innerspring mattresses and foam mattresses. To make your sleep comfortable, they are typically padded at their tops.
Top layers could include foam, gel cushioning, or upholstery. The height of the top layer is also subject to change.
Latex mattresses make a great choice for those who want a mattress that feels soft and comfy, as well as one that offers support while maintaining heat. Best mattresses are made from a mixture of synthetic and natural latex. They last for at least 20 years.
Natural latex is made with sap from rubber tree. Although it is more expensive to make than synthetic, natural latex has an extended shelf life.
Foam layers are made organically from the material. Foam layers are made completely from natural materials. It is therefore a popular choice for eco-conscious consumers. Through its certification procedure, it guarantees that rubber trees be cut down in an environmentally friendly way.
Natural latex may have a mild smell if it is not packed. However, the smell should fade within a few weeks.
You might not immediately think of getting a memory-foam mattress. You might find that it can improve your sleeping quality. It can also reduce joint and back pain.
Memory foam mattresses conform to the contours of your body. Because of this, they will evenly distribute your weight and release pressure from your body’s joints. They are also advantageous for people who have allergies.
Many manufacturers include cooling elements like gel beads to keep you cool. For hot sleepers, these are very beneficial.
Some memory foam mattresses include edges that have been strengthened. This feature is great for people who love to sleep at the edges of their beds. Your legs and torso receive additional support from it as well.
Mattress Stores in the Elmhurst Area
Benefits of Shopping at Mattress Outlet Elmhurst
A Elmhurst Mattress Outlet showroom might be a terrific place to go if you want to acquire a new mattress for a really cheap price. A mattress can cost you more than it is worth if you don’t shop at a local store.
You Can Check Out Mattresses in Person
A mattress purchase is a large investment. You need to do your homework before making a decision. Box springs might be required. Numerous brands offer deals and promotions throughout the year.
Many websites provide live chat to customer service representatives. This is a great way to get your questions answered and ensure that you receive the highest-quality mattress at the best price. Many mattress brands offer free returns. Some mattress brands do charge a restocking fee.
It’s a good idea to read a few reviews before making a mattress purchase. It’s worth trying out several brands. This is especially true if you aren’t sure which mattress will be best for you. It is possible to check the return policy for the company to learn how easy it can be to return goods.
Before you buy your next mattress, whether you shop online or in-person, you should do your research. If you are fortunate, there will be a salesperson that has the experience and knowledge to guide you towards the right mattress. Also, be ready to negotiate.
The cost of your mattress will be determined by its construction materials. High-quality materials such as memory foam or polyfoam can provide the support and cushioning your body needs. If the materials used are not of high quality, you may feel less comfortable.
You want to find the best mattress at the most affordable price. Many mattress retailers offer free shipping and the opportunity to try out your mattress before you buy. You might also be able to receive a discount if you’re looking for other home items, such as furniture, depending on your needs.
Do not fall for the trap of buying a mattress from a large retailer. While they may offer lower prices but poor service, you should avoid purchasing a mattress. A mom-and-pop store will offer you more value than a big box retailer.
It takes perseverance and research to find affordable prices at a Mattress Outlet. Holidays are the best times to buy a brand new mattress. There are usually more sales and discounts.
Some mattress manufacturers, such as Purple Mattress, give out complimentary items in addition to discounts. You may also receive discounts when you buy multiple products. Packages can include accessories, mattresses, or both. Although these packages are often cost-effective, buyers should make sure to check the prices for each component before they purchase.
Most internet mattress retailers markup mattresses for less than 50%. Look for sales during the summer if you don’t want to spend more money than necessary. All summer, mattress retailers try to get rid of their old stock. Later, they reduce their prices by as much as 60%.
If you are buying online, be sure to verify the pricing on each mattress. This allows you to compare prices for different mattresses.
Buying a mattress can be a difficult process. There are a lot of options to consider and a lot of data to filter through.
It is essential to find a shop that sells mattresses of exceptional quality at affordable pricing. You need to be able to negotiate effectively and to provide exceptional customer service. This is important when buying mattresses from a store.
You’ll frequently be able to receive a better deal when shopping in person than you could when doing it online. A majority of physical shops offer limited selections which can make haggling much easier.
A physical business may offer free delivery or other incentives such as a pillow or topper. You can also find coupons and savings on mattress-related products. Many brands offer discounts during holidays. You may be able purchase a mattress separately from furniture in a package deal.
Also, you can find out if a mattress retailer offers a guarantee on its goods. You must often show the legal tag on the mattress in order to file a warranty claim.
Delivery & Installation Services
No matter how big your home is, you might be able to have a mattress delivered and installed by professionals. Fortunately, there are numerous businesses that offer this service, but it’s crucial to understand what to anticipate and how to get the best deal.
Mattress Outlet Delivery Options
For mattress purchases, it can be hard to find a third-party delivery and/or installation service. There are a lot of businesses out there, but not all of them are trustworthy. The majority of mattress sellers outsource their delivery and installation work to third parties, who frequently fall short of your expectations in terms of quality. They may not be able to get rid of your old mattress.
You can get delivery and installation services from some mattress retailers, but there might be a charge. Check the website of your retailer to see if they provide this service. You might wish to check your neighborhood store if the website doesn’t offer this information. You can also use our location symbol to check if the service is available in your locality.
Many businesses offer free mattress removal and delivery. These companies are independent contractors who work for themselves. They offer delivery and can ship your mattress anywhere in the world. They provide trustworthy information on delivery dates.
It is important to research the best methods of installing your mattress, regardless of whether you are replacing or buying new bedding. Your bed can be rest assured because some mattress manufacturers have connections with companies that provide these services.
Although there is a modest price associated with this service, it is ultimately worthwhile. An installation service can help you set up your new mattress exactly where you need it.
You can ask your delivery service to help you put together your bed if you don’t have the time or desire to. The best thing is that they will do it correctly the first time, relieving you of the burden of future self-installation.
Financing and Purchasing Options
Financing a mattress might be simple if you do some research and have good credit. If you have the capital, you can spread the payments over many years. Option without Credit. Request an immediate decision.
The best thing about borrowing money is the low interest rates. In most cases, you can get a loan in just minutes. You might be eligible to receive interest-free credit up to a year with a creditcard.
With a financing option, you can purchase a mattress without spending too much. Because they lack the money to purchase a new bed, many consumers decide to finance their new mattress. This allows you to relax if your loan is paid back by selling family heirlooms.
Return & Exchange Policies
There are rules that govern the return and exchange of mattresses bought online or in stores.
The mattress market is extremely competitive and customers expect to get the best price. Therefore, retailers must offer the highest quality goods and prices as well as the most efficient services. A select few businesses have taken up the challenge and offer unmatched service.
One of them is the extended 120 day guarantee. This requires settling the remaining balance of your exchange purchase. It is important to remember that the 120-day guarantee does not represent a promise of a brand-new mattress. For instance, if you spend $500 on a mattress and then decide to upgrade at the conclusion of the 120-day period, you’ll be responsible for the price difference as well as any additional delivery fees. This does not necessarily mean that a refund will not be given to you.

☆ David Cabaret ☆
Growing up amidst the burgeoning New Romantic scene, David liked nothing better than put on a bit of slap and wrap himself in curtains. Growing lads will do naughtier things, but his strict Catholic parents still got upset about his habits and eventually asked him to leave the suburban home.
Landing in a North London bedsit at the age of 17 proved no bed of roses, but he was free to do what he wanted. If hairdressing for £40 a week got him nowhere fast, at least teaching himself to sew outfits pointed him in the right direction.
Taboo had unfortunately already closed down but The Bell, The Camden Palace, The Jungle, Pyramid and The Scala (the all-nighter in Kings Cross where I used to DJ weekly), all became homes from home for him. Other enticing late ‘80s hotspots, such as Ascencion, Anarchy, Sacrosanct, Amen and Roma followed and Cabaret patronized them all whole-heartedly.
By then David was already a proper clubland icon, thanks to the stunning looks he worked week in, week out. The staple “bumps” look, the spiky canary, the blue lady (inspired by Tretchicoff) and the Myra Breckinridge (cum-Liechtenstein pop art) outfits are still vivid in club punters’ memory. Also notable are the Queen Elizabeth incarnation and the “Marilyn à la Warhol” look, which boasted a cerise face, yellow hair and the Seven Year’s Itch dress.
In the ‘90s, he collaborated with Leigh & Nicola Bowery on designs for Michael Clark, and he made corsets with Mr Pearl for Mugler, Galliano and McQueen. Besides making film costumes, he designed Erasure’s stage outfits with Dean Bright, then joined forces with Mike Nichols to painstakingly recreate the iconic ‘80s gear worn by Bowery, Boy George, Steve Strange and co, for Taboo the Musical.
Cabaret dropped out of the club scene in the mid-90s when Smashing, Matthew Glamorre’s club, ended its run. He felt times had changed and he’d sort of lost interest. Still, he kept the wardrobe and the long overdue comeback can never be ruled out.

The facilitator is not a member of the IEP team.
The facilitator keeps the IEP team focused on the task of developing or revising an IEP. The facilitator models and helps maintain open and respectful communication among team members as well as offering ways to address and resolve conflicts that may arise in the meeting.
Although the district is still in charge of the meeting, some districts request that the facilitator take an active role in running the IEP facilitation. With other districts, the facilitator is more of a support person to the participants and the process, helping as needed to keep the facilitation productive and student-focused.

Traditionally, our team members gathered before Christmas to celebrate this wonderful holiday and the success and achievements of the year behind us.
Before we went to dinner our Managing Director, Mr Peter Chulu shared a few words and reminded us of the amazing journey our company has had in the past years. Apart from reminiscing how far we have come along, he also highlighted all that lies ahead that we should look forward to: growing, learning, and improving within the world of market research.
The dinner was fabulous! We almost managed to get the whole team together (the struggle of having international offices), but the evening was filled with cheer and joy. We exchanged this year’s Secret Santa gifts, enjoyed delicious food, and played an awesome game of table football (ladies won!). It was a perfect night to end the successful year we had.
Once again, our whole team thanks you for being by our side in 2018, and we are wishing you the happiest Holidays!
Check out the photos from the dinner below.

This invention relates generally to graphic and video image processing, and in particular to the resizing of an image for display.
Graphic and video images are often formed as an array of picture elements. The number of picture elements forming the image determines the resolution, or level of detail, of the image formed by these picture elements. The image is intended to be displayed for viewing on a display that also has individual picture elements. The display will also have a physical size and the display resolution is expressed in terms of picture elements per unit of length in each dimension, for example pixels per inch, or pixels per line. Often, the resolution of the image differs from the resolution of the display, and the image must be scaled to the display. Also, a display is often utilized to display multiple independent images, such as windows on a computer screen, or picture-in-picture images on a television screen. If the image has more pixels than the allocated display area, the image must be downscaled. In this way, the entire image is displayed, albeit at a lesser resolution. If the image has fewer pixels than the allocated display area, the image is upscaled. In this way, the entire allocated display area is utilized.
In addition to scaling an image for display, scaling is also applied, for example, to resize an image from a scanner to a printer, or from a video source to a storage device, etc. The terms input samples and output samples will be used hereinafter to define, in general, discrete values received from an input device and resultant discrete values provided to an output device. Conventionally, a scaling factor, S, is defined in terms of the number of input samples, M, divided by the number of output samples, L.
Integer scaling is straightforward; for example, to downscale by a factor of 2, each pair of input samples can be averaged to provide an output sample; to downscale by a factor of 3, each triplet of input samples is averaged and mapped to an output sample; to upscale by a factor of 2, an interpolated value between every pair of input samples can be provided, and so on. Such direct integer scaling, however, does not allow for fractional scaling, such as 4/3. A 4/3 scaling factor will produce three output samples for every four input samples. Although every fourth input sample could merely be ignored to effect a 4/3 scaling, the resultant output will not be as accurate of a representation of the image as an averaging process, and, the resultant output may contain aberrations caused by aliasing.
Conventionally, to scale an image by a factor of S=M/L, the image is first upscaled by a factor of L, then downscaled by a factor of M. In this manner, sequential integer scaling is used to perform fractional scaling. In a 4/3 example, each input sample provides 3 intermediate output samples, then every four of these intermediate values are processed to provide one output sample. This process, however, will cause aliasing unless the upscaled samples are bandlimited. The larger M is, the more complex the bandlimiting filter required to eliminate aliasing. Conventional systems which allow for user or application defined parameters M and L, such as user definable window sizes, typically contain continuously variable bandwidth digital low pass filters to effect this bandlimiting.
As is common in the art of filter design, optimizations can be effected in the design of filters so as to minimize the time required to process the samples, for example by parallel processing, or to minimize the circuit complexity, for example by using the same circuit repetitively in a sequential process.
FIG. 1 shows a conventional vector filter wherein the input samples 100 are applied sequentially to delay elements 101, 102, 103 to provide samples I0, I1, I2, and I3 that can be processed in parallel. Each of the samples I0, I1, I2, and I3 are multiplied by multipliers 110, 111, 112, and 113 by coefficients h3, h2, h1, and h0, respectively and summed at the adder 120 to produce an output sample 130. The circuit of FIG. 1 will produce a weighted average of 4 samples, and thus would be suited for scaling by a scaling factor having an M of 4: 4/1, 4/2, 4/3, 4/4, 4/5, etc. It would not be suitable, however, for a scaling factor of, for example, 8/5. To average 8 samples, four additional delayed samples, or taps, must be provided to the adder 120. To provide for scaling by a scaling factor S=M/L, in general, requires an M-tap filter, each tap requiring an additional delay-multiply stage. Thus, the conventional vector filter would be implemented as a k-tap filter with k being the maximum allowable M. A problem with this approach, however, is that it must include a tap for every allowable M, and whenever a user or application selects an M that is less than the maximum allowable M, a number of delay-multiply stages will be unused.
FIG. 2 shows a conventional sequential filter, having a single multiply-accumulate stage. Each input sample 100 is processed sequentially by multiplying the sample with a coefficient value coef(i) in multiplier 210. At each sequential clock cycle, a new input sample 100 and a corresponding new coefficient value coef(i) are provided. The product of the input sample 100 and its corresponding coefficient value coef(i) is added to a previously accumulated sum and stored as a new accumulated sum in a register 230. After M clock cycles, the register 230 contains the output sample value. Thus, a user or application selected scaling factor can be accommodated by merely increasing the number of clock cycles to the user or application selected M. The next output sample requires another M clock cycles. To provide L output samples within the period of M input samples requires the clock to operate at L times M times the input data rate. To operate at higher than the input data rate requires buffering to accumulate input samples, so that they can be provided to the filter at the higher rate. Additional multiply-accumulate stages may be operated in parallel to reduce the required clock rate proportionately, but again the conventional sequential filter needs to be designed for a highest allowable M and L. As with the conventional vector filter, inefficiencies result whenever the user or application selected M and L are less than the highest allowable values, because circuitry will be unused or underutilized.
Therefore, a need exists for a filter apparatus that performs fractional scaling with minimal circuit complexity and that optimizes the utilization of the circuitry over a wide range of user or application defined scaling factors. A need also exists for a filter that operates at the input data rate, to minimize the need for input data buffering.

FIGS. 8a and 8b illustrate flow charts for load balancing a plurality of filter stages in accordance with an embodiment of this invention.
FIG. 9 illustrates a flow chart for a filter stage in accordance with an embodiment of this invention.
In accordance with this invention, a variable length fractional bandwidth low-pass filter is provided to perform fractional scaling. The filter is designed as a plurality of filter stages. Each filter stage performs fractional filtering of a plurality of input samples to form an output sample. The number of filter stages is determined based on the characteristic of the filter stage, and the filter stages are load balanced to allow for a minimal number of filter stages. Load balancing is applied so as to utilize each of the filter stages only when required. In the general case, the load balancing is applied so as to provide a substantially equal load to each filter stage, and the number of filter stages is determined so as to allow the filter to operate substantially at the input sample rate.
FIGS. 3A-3C illustrate timing diagrams of a variable length fractional bandwidth low-pass filter in accordance with this invention. FIG. 3A shows the timing diagram of a 4/3 scaling of input samples I0, I1, etc. In. to produce output samples Oa, Ob, etc. The time interval between input samples is Ti. To effect a 4/3 scaling, the time interval between output samples is To=4/3*Ti.
Each four input samples produce three output samples. Because fractional scaling is being performed, the output samples Oa, Ob, Oc, etc. will have differing phase relationships to the input stream. As shown, output samples Ob and Oe are in phase with the input stream; Oc is out of phase by an amount PHc; Od is out of phase by an amount PHd; etc.
A filtering, or weighted average, of a set of input samples determines each output sample value. The number of input samples required to produce an output sample is a function of the filter employed. Shown in FIG. 3A is a characteristic filter response 301 for a conventional low pass filter having a filter span of N-Span. The filter response 301 in FIG. 3A is centered about the output sample Oc, representing the use of the filter for determining the value of the output sample Oc:
The coefficients h0, h1, . . . h5 in equation (1) are the values of the characteristic filter response 301 corresponding to each of the six input samples within the N-span of the filter, as shown in FIG. 3A. Note that the coefficients h0, h1, . . . h5 are equally spaced, based on Ti, and, because the filter response 301 is centered about output sample Oc, the offset phase PHc determines the particular equally spaced values of the coefficients h0, h1, . . . h5 in equation (1).
FIG. 3B illustrates the application of the same filter response 301 to determine the value of output sample Od:
The coefficients k0, k1, . . . k5 in equation (2) are the values of the characteristic filter response 301 at each of input samples I1, I2, . . . I6 within the N-span of the filter, as shown in FIG. 3B. Note that because the filter response 301 is centered about output sample Od, the offset phase PHd determines the particular values of the coefficients k0, k1, . . . k5 in equation (2).
Thus it can be seen that given a particular filter response 301, the value of each output sample can be determined based upon the input sample interval Ti, and the offset phase of each output sample relative to the input samples.
FIG. 3C shows the same filter response 301 being applied for an 8/5 scaling of input samples J0, J1, etc. to produce output samples Qa, Qb, etc. The time scale of FIG. 3C is sized to show an equal N-span among FIG. 3A, 3B, and 3C. Within one N-span of the filter 301 are seven input samples; thus, using a filter having the filter characteristic 301, seven input samples will be filtered to produce each output sample. That is, the N-span filter will perform a 7-tap filter function. The filter characteristic 301 is shown centered on output sample Qc, representing the use of the filter for determining the value of the output sample Qc:
The phase PHq of the output sample Qc, relative to the input samples J0, J1, . . . J6 determines the coefficients c0, c1, . . . c6 as shown in FIG. 3C, similar to FIG. 3A and 3B. The value of the next output sample Qd is determined by centering the filter characteristic 301 on Qd and determining the appropriate coefficients based on the input sampling period Ti, and the phase of output sample Qd relative to the input samples.
Thus it can be seen that, as in the 4/3 scaling example above, given a particular filter response 301, the value of each output sample can be determined based upon the input sample interval Ti relative to the filter response 301, and the offset phase of each output sample relative to the input samples. Note that the same filter characteristic 301 is used for each of these scaling factors of 4/3 and 8/5. That is, a single filter design is employed that is independent of the particular scaling factor selected by the user or software application.
The frequency response 301 of FIG. 3A-3C represents a characteristic low-pass filter response. If a scaling factor of 1/1 were employed, the frequency response 301 of FIG. 3A-3C would correspond to a 5-tap low pass filter. As would be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art, other low pass filter responses can be utilized; the quality of the particular filter selected will determine the degree of anti-aliasing provided by the filter. A filter that provides an N-tap filtering at a scaling factor of 1/1 is referred to herein as an N-span filter. The N-span filter is utilized, in accordance with this invention, to perform k-tap filtering, as will be discussed below. The scaling factor determines the number of input samples, or taps, used to form an output sample, based on the N-span of the filter. As shown in FIG. 3A-3C, an N-span filter encompasses N-1 output sample intervals To. If the scaling factor is S, where S is a rational number (=M/L) greater than 1, the number of input samples contained within N-span will be the integer value of ((N-1)*S+1). That is, in using a five-span filter for 4/3 scaling, there are 6[(5-1)*(4/3)+1=6 1/3] input samples within the N-span of the filter, consistent with FIG. 3A. An 8/5 scaling with the same five-span filter has 7[(5-1)*(8/5)+1=7 2/5] input samples within the N-span of the filter, consistent with FIG. 3C. A 3/1 scaling with the same five-span filter has 13[(5-1)*(3/1)+1=13] input samples within the N-span of the filter. Integer scaling is merely a particular case of fractional scaling, wherein M/L is an integer. As would be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art, optimizations can be applied to reduce the processing for the particular case of integer scaling, for example by averaging 3 input samples as in the conventional system, rather than processing 13 input samples. To minimize complexity, the preferred embodiment utilizes the same fractional filter regardless of whether the scaling factor is an integer or non-integer.
Thus it is shown that the same filter characteristics can be utilized to effect integer and fractional scaling, the required filter parameters being: the phase of each output sample relative to the input samples, the number of input samples used to form each output sample, and the input sample interval, Ti, relative to the N-span filter. Because the filter parameters required to produce an output sample from the input samples are minimal, this fractional scaling lends itself readily to the use of multiple filter stages, each operating with the particular set of filter parameters for the output sample being produced.
FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of a variable length fractional filter in accordance with this invention. The variable length fractional filter includes a load balancer 410, a coefficient generator 450, and a plurality of filter stages F1, F2, . . . FN. The load balancer 410 performs a controlling function for synchronizing the operation of the filter stages F1, F2, . . . FN, and provides the required filter control parameters 411, 412, etc. to produce each output sample Pi, Pi+1, Pi+2, etc. at the required output intervals. Each filter stage F1, F2, . . . FN is operably coupled to the coefficient generator 450 for requesting 454 and receiving 456 the particular coefficients to be applied to each of the input samples 401. The particular coefficients 456 for each filter stage will be dependent upon the phase difference between the input samples and the output sample being produced by the particular filter stage, as well as the phase interval corresponding to input timing interval relative to the filter span, as determined by the scaling factor. This information is communicated to the coefficient generator 450 from each filter F1, F2, . . . FN via 454. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the load balancer 410 sequentially selects, via 411, 412, etc. each of the filter stages F1, F2, . . . FN, F1, F2, . . . to produce the output samples Pi, Pi+1, . . . Pi+N-1, Pi+N, Pi+N+1, . . . in a sequential, round-robin, manner. That is, all of the filter stages are utilized as much as possible and all are utilized uniformly. As shown in FIG. 4, under the control of load balancer 410, filter stage F1 produces an output Pi; filter stage F2 produces the next output Pi+1; and so on, such that filter stage FN produces output sample Pi+N-1, then filter stage F1 produces output sample Pi+N, and so on. To be effective, each of the filter stages is designed to process all of the required input samples before the load balancer 410 cycles back to it.
In the preferred embodiment, the variable length fractional filter will contain a minimum number of filter stages. In accordance with this invention, each filter stage is an N-span fractional filter, and the minimum number of filter stages is equal to N, the span of the fractional filter, as discussed below.
Each filter stage processes input samples throughout a duration of N-span. As the scaling factor varies, the number of input samples contained within N-span varies. While these input samples arrive, the filter stage is unavailable for processing other input samples. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the filter stages are optimized with respect to the output samples and the number of filter stages is minimized. That is, each N-span filter stage will be available for reuse after (N-1) output sample intervals. In the preferred embodiment, one filter stage is utilized to produce one output sample, with no underutilization. Because each filter stage is available for reuse after (N-1) output sample intervals, N filter stages are sufficient to assure that a filter stage is available when required to generate each output sample.
In the preferred embodiment, the determination of N is a balance of performance and cost. Increasing N, the number of taps in the fractional filter stage for 1/1 scaling, improves the anti-aliasing quality of the filter stage, but also increases the number of filter stages required to be operated in parallel. Typically, N is in the range of five to fifteen.
FIG. 5 shows a more detailed block diagram of an embodiment of the invention. The load balancer 410 includes a controller 440, a discrete time oscillator 420 and a counter 430. The controller 440 processes the provided scaling factor to determine an increment factor 442 for the discrete time oscillator 420, the number of input samples k 444 contained within the N-span, and the phase stepsize 446, corresponding to the input sample interval Ti. The filter stages F1, F2, and F3 each perform N-span fractional filtering. The discrete time oscillator 420 generates a trigger pulse 421 each time an output sample is to be generated, based on the increment value provided by the controller 440. A clock signal 445 maintains the proper timing relationship of the discrete time oscillator 420 relative to the input samples 401. That is, for example, if a 4/3 scaling is being performed, the discrete time oscillator 420 produces three trigger pulses 421 for every four clock cycles 445, assuming one clock cycle 445 per input sample 401.
A block diagram of one example of a discrete time oscillator 420 is shown in FIG. 6A. The discrete time oscillator 420 includes a sequential adder 424 and a register 426. At each clock cycle 445, an increment value 442 is added to the contents of the register 425. After some number of clock cycles 445, the sum of the increment value 442 and the contents of the register 425 will be larger than the maximum value that the register 426 can contain, and a carry will be generated by the adder 424. This carry is the trigger pulse 421 of FIG. 5. The remainder of the sum less the maximum value is stored in the register 426. A table representing an example of the operation of this oscillator 420 is shown in FIG. 6B. The increment value, prior register value, sum, carry, and new register value are shown for each clock cycle at t=1, t=2, . . . t=10. Initially, at time t=0, all variables are reset to contain a value of zero. In this example, the controller 440 provides an increment value of 3/4 of the register's maximum value. At the first clock cycle, at t=1, the increment value of 3/4 is added to the prior register value of 0 to produce a sum of 3/4, and no carry. The new register value is 3/4. At t=2, the increment of 3/4 is added to the prior register value of 3/4 to produce a sum that is 11/2 times as large as the maximum. Therefore, a carry pulse is generated, and the new register value is 1/2 [11/2-1]. At t=3, the increment of 3/4 is added to the prior register value of 1/2 to produce a sum of 11/4; a carry pulse is generated, and the new register value is 1/4. At t=4, the increment of 3/4 is added to the prior register value of 1/4 to produce a sum of 1; a carry pulse is generated, and the new register value is 0. This cycle is thereafter repeated. As can be seen, by using this increment of 3/4 of the maximum register value, three carry pulses are generated repeatedly for each four clock cycles. An increment value of A/B will produce A carry pulses for each B clock cycles. In the preferred embodiment, the clock cycles correspond to the input samples, and the number of carry pulses corresponds to the number of output pulses corresponding to the number of input samples. That is, to effect a B/A scaling, the controller 440 provides an increment of A/B times the maximum register 426 value to the discrete time oscillator 420, to generate one trigger pulse 421 for each output sample 491.
The register 426 also provides a measure of the phase difference between the input and output samples. A register value of 0, for example at time t=4 above, corresponds to the output sample being in phase with the input. A register value of 1/2 the maximum value corresponds to the output sample being 180 degrees out of phase with the input sample; a value of 1/4 the maximum value corresponds to a 90 degree difference, and so on. Referring to FIGS. 3A-3C, this register value corresponds to the phase difference between the start of the N-span filter response and the first input sample within the N-span. That is, in FIG. 3A, the register value corresponds to the phase difference PHi0; in FIG. 3B, the register value corresponds to the phase difference PHi1; in FIG. 3C, the register value corresponds to the phase difference PHj0. In FIG. 3B, the output Ob and the input I1 are in phase, and the coefficient k0 is located at the start of the frequency response 301, reading from right to left. Each subsequent coefficient k1, k2 . . . k5 will be located at equidistant points from the start of the frequency response 301, at intervals corresponding to the interval between input samples.
In FIG. 3A, the input I0 is offset to the left of the start of the N-span by an offset amount PHi0. The contents of the register 426 will correspond to this offset amount PHi0 when the input 10 arrives. The coefficient h0 will be located a distance corresponding to a phase offset amount PHi0 into the frequency response 301, and each subsequent coefficient h1, h2, etc. will be located at equidistant points from the location of coefficient h0, at intervals corresponding to the interval between input samples. The interval between coefficients, herein referred to as the phase stepsize, is equal to the phasewidth of the filter stage response 301 divided by the scaling factor. An N-span filter will have a phasewidth of (N-1) times 360 degrees. Thus, expressed in degrees, the phase stepsize is equal to 360*(N-1)/S, where S is the scaling factor, and N is the span of the filter stage.
In FIG. 5, the discrete time oscillator 420 provides the trigger pulses 421 to the counter 430, and the phase values 422 to the filter stages F1, F2, and F3. The counter 430 increments its value with each trigger pulse, and sequentially asserts each of the Enable 1, Enable 2, and Enable 3 signals. The counter 430 cycles back to Enable 1 after asserting Enable 3, thus, each of the filter stages F1, F2, and F3 are sequentially enabled, in a round-robin fashion. In the general case, with N filter stages, the counter 430 generates an enable for each of the N filter stages in a sequential fashion, and each filter stage is connected in parallel with filter stages F1, F2, etc.
FIG. 7 shows one example of an accumulating finite impulse response (FIR) filter stage 700 suitable for use as filter stages F1, F2, . . . FN. The FIR filter stage 700 includes a counter 710 for counting the number of input samples, and a latch 720 for storing initial values. Upon receiving an enable signal, the phase value 422 and the phase stepsize 446 are loaded into the latch 720. The enable signal also enables the counter 710 which generates a count for each of k input samples, k 444 being provided by the controller 442, based on the scaling factor. Each input sample is multiplied at 730 by a coefficient 456. To determine the value of the coefficient 456, the FIR filter stage 700 generates a coefficient index 454. The sum 750 and tapphase 770 registers are initialized to zero, and therefore initially the coefficient index 454 is equal to the initial phase value, the phase 422 which is latched when the FIR filter stage 700 is enabled. The coefficient 456 corresponding to the initial phase value is multiplied with the first input sample, and the sequential adder 740 stores the sum of this product and the prior sum value (0) into the sum register 750. The counter increments, causing the sequential adder 760 to add the latched stepsize to the prior contents of the tapphase 770 register. Note that the sequential adder 760 is shown to be out of phase with the sequential adder 770, to provide sufficient time for the new coefficient index 454 to be conveyed to the coefficient generator and the corresponding coefficient value 456 to be generated and multiplied with the next input sample 401. After each of k input samples 401 are multiplied by the appropriate coefficient 456, based on the initial phase, and the products accumulated in the sum register 750, the contents of the sum register 750 are communicated as the next of the output samples 491.
The coefficient generator 450 of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 returns a filter coefficient value 456 corresponding to a coefficient index 454. This may be accomplished in a variety of ways, as would be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art. In an example embodiment, the filter response 301 of FIGS. 3A-3C may be stored as a table in memory. The coefficient index 454 provides an index into the table, and the values corresponding to h0, h1, etc. shown in FIG. 3A are returned as coefficient values 456. Alternatively, an algorithmic description of the filter response 301 may be used to compute a coefficient value 456 for each coefficient index 454 directly. A combination of both techniques may be provided, wherein the most significant bits of a coefficient index 454 are used to access a table of values, and the lower significant bits are used to interpolate a value between the stored values.
FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B shows flowcharts for load balancing a plurality of filter stages in a ariable length fractional filter 400, as might be used, for example, in an embodiment of the load balancer 410 of FIG. 4 for balancing the load of filter stages F1, F2, . . . FN. In FIG. 8A, the filter 400 receives an input sample, at 810. This input sample is thereafter available to each of the filter stages F1, F2, . . . Fn, represented by filter stage processes 841, 842, . . . in FIG. 8A. For each received input sample, a determination is made by the load balancer 410 as to whether an output sample is to be generated, at 820. That is, for example, given an 8/5 scaling, five of every eight input samples trigger an output sample, and three of eight do not. FIG. 8B shows a preferred embodiment of the process 820. At 850 an increment, corresponding to an inverse of the scaling factor, is added to an accumulated value to form a sum, as discussed above with regard to the discrete time oscillator of FIG. 6. The sum is compared to a maximum value, at 855. The maximum value is a value corresponding to 360 degrees phase shift. Whenever the phase shift exceeds 360 degrees, a new output sample is required. If, at 855, the sum is greater than the maximum, an enable is set to the affirmative "Go" at 856, and the accumulated value is set equal to the sum less the maximum value. In so doing, the accumulated value will be the residual phase, modulo 360 degrees. If the sum is less than the maximum, the enable is set to the negative "NoGo", at 858, and the accumulated value is set equal to the sum. At 860, an initial phase value is set equal to this accumulated value. Upon completion of the process 820, the load balancing process continues at 830 in FIG. 8A.
If, at 830, the enable is set to Go, one of a multitude of filter stage processes 841, 842, etc. is launched by the load balancer 410. The load balancer 410 provides the initial phase to the selected filter stage process, and continues the load balancing process, at 810, for each subsequent input sample. If the enable is not Go, the process bypasses the launching of a filter stage process. Thus, as can be seen, in a preferred embodiment, each filter stage process is utilized if and only if an output sample is required, thereby optimizing the utilization of each filter stage process.
A preferred embodiment of the filter stage processes 841, 842, etc. of FIG. 8A, is shown as a flowchart in FIG. 9. The process of FIG. 9, may for example, be implemented in each of the filter stages F1, F2, . . . FN of FIG. 4. When a selected filter stage, Fs, is selected and launched by the load balancer 410, the load balancer 410 communicates the initial phase of the input sample relative to the output samples to the selected filter stage Fs. The filter stage Fs stores this initial phase as a phase offset, at 870, and initializes a sum variable to zero, at 872. The filter stage Fs iterates through the loop 880-889 for each of k input samples, starting with the input sample that triggered the launch of this filter stage Fs. At 882, the filter stage Fs computes the coefficient index corresponding to the ith input sample by adding a multiple of the phase stepsize to the phase offset. As discussed above, the phase stepsize is a variable corresponding to the input sample interval Ti of FIGS. 3A-3C relative to the N-span filter response, as determined by the scaling factor S. Expressed in degrees, the stepsize is equal to 360*(N-1)/S. The phase offset determines where on the filter stage characteristic 301 the first of the uniformly spaced coefficients are located, and the phase stepsize determines where the subsequent coefficients are located. The coefficient index corresponding to the ith input sample is provided to a coefficient function Coef(), at 884, that returns the coefficient value corresponding to this coefficient index. As discussed above, this function may be an array of values indexed by the coefficient index, or an algorithmic function, or a combination of both. The filter stage Fs multiplies the coefficient value corresponding to the ith input sample by the value of the ith input sample, and adds the product to the sum value, at 884. After processing k input samples, the filter stage Fs returns the sum value, at 899. This sum value is the output sample value. Upon returning the output sample value, the filter stage Fs is available to process the input samples corresponding to another output sample. As discussed above, the processing of k input samples by an N-span filter stage will be completed within N output samples. Thus, because a filter stage process is launched if and only if an output sample is required, the number of filter stages can be limited to N.
As is evident to one of ordinary skill in the art, the functions performed by the blocks and processes discussed above can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination thereof. For example, the filter stages F1, F2, etc. can be hardware devices, and the load balancer 410 and coefficient generator 450 can be implemented as software or firmware executing on a general or special purpose processor. Similarly, the use of particular structures to effect these functions need not be employed. For example, although the discrete time oscillator 420 has been presented as a preferred embodiment for a load balancer, any technique that identifies the need for an output sample can be equivalently employed. Similarly, alternative means for determining the relationship between the input and output samples so as to determine the appropriate filter stage coefficients would be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, the foregoing merely illustrates the principles of the invention. It will thus be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements which, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody the principles of the invention and are thus within its spirit and scope.

It’s back to school time for hundreds of thousands of student athletes across America and we are excited to kick off the year with a new group of service-minded Athletes for Hope University (AFH U) students this year. During the 2017-2018 school year, AFH U student athletes volunteered a combined 4,450 hours of service with 221 community visits, impacting more than 17,000 school children!
Athletes at University of Virginia, Louisiana State University (LSU), Southern University (Southern), Tulane University, Michigan State University (MSU), University of Southern California (USC) and the University of Connecticut (UCONN) Women’s basketball team are all gearing up for their respective seasons on and off the courts by participating in AFH U workshops, engaging in service. A few teams from Southern University and LSU have already started off their year in service in late August.
Southern Baseball kicked off the school year by volunteering with Habitat For Humanity. Student athletes assisted with the pre-build of one site as well as the landscaping of another home.
“It was a pleasure working with Southern Baseball today. They were full of enthusiasm, team work, and had an amazing work ethic. They supported each other throughout the day and you don’t see that in kids anymore.” -Jim Quick, Habitat for Humanity Volunteer
“Thank you Southern Baseball team for coming to landscape my house. I’ve been waiting for a while and with their huge help it’s ready for the fall. To come out to the site this morning and see so many young men excited to volunteer brought tears to my eyes.” -Laura Pierce, Habitat for Humanity homeowner
The ladies of Southern Soccer, Southern Volleyball, LSU Gymnastics, and LSU Volleyball also made visits to local schools to get kids excited about the upcoming school year and encourage them to stay physically active.
“At Louisiana Key Academy, we helped educate kids of what it takes to be a LSU gymnast; perseverance and to never give up! In sports and in the classroom, we can face challenges, but with hard work you can achieve anything.” – McKenna Kelley, LSU Gymnastics
We encourage all of our AFH U student athletes to connect with us soon to schedule workshops, get support connecting to area nonprofits or schools and to share the great work that you are doing in communities.
Here are some quick tips for successful service visits:
- Coordinate with our AFH U team to identify opportunities for workshops or service during off days.
- Communicate with your team or other teams for a group volunteer session.
- Connect with other teams on campus to collaborate on service events.
- Share your service with the AFH U team or on social media to help elevate the work of the nonprofit or school!
- Make sure you use our hashtag #AFHU and tag @athletesforhope so we can share it as well.
- Motivate and encourage others to give back-your followers, friends and family may be motivated to serve based on your example.
We look forward to celebrating the work of all our AFH U student athletes through a monthly AFH U “Athlete of the Month” and sharing with our network of athletes and partners. We are getting AFH U service shirts to easily identify student athletes in the community, and identifying service opportunities each month so student athletes know ahead of time what types of volunteering is available. We are excited to see the service opportunities that all of our AFH U student athletes do this year and wish them all a great 2018-2019 school season!

Finite amounts of noble metals have been widely introduced as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) mediators and reductive cocatalysts for solar-driven energy conversion. At present, knowledge of the roles of metal loading is multifarious and may be one-sided in some cases. In addition, the catalytic roles which metals play in photocatalytic oxidation have been rarely discussed. It is necessary to explore the equilibrium between plasmon resonance and surface catalysis over metallic nanostructures. Herein, Au NPs with various loading amounts (0.25-1 wt %) and particle sizes (3-20 nm) were attached to CeO2 by photodeposition. Aerobic oxidations of propylene under simulated sunlight and visible (>420 nm) light irradiation were selected as probe reactions. Both processes exhibited similar humplike activity dependence upon Au NP addition, with a peak at 0.67 wt % loading and a size of 8.4 nm. Modifications to the whole photocatalytic process brought by metal attachment have been integrally examined, concerning both the photoexcitation and surface catalysis steps. With an increase of Au loading, the induced SPR photoabsorption, charge separation, and resonant energy transfer were enhanced, whereas outgrown Au NPs (>10 nm) led to the saturation of exposed active sites for reactant adsorption as well as distinct passivity to O2 dissociation. Therefore, photoexcitation and surface catalysis present opposite dependence on Au NP size and codetermine the final photocatalytic performance in propylene oxidation. An integral consideration of the above two aspects should be instructive for a better understanding of SPR-enhanced photocatalysis and the design of efficient metal-semiconductor systems for ideal solar energy conversion. (Figure Presented).

Avengers 4 Toy Descriptions Reveal Thanos Isn’t the Only Villain
An Avengers 4 recent toy leak seemingly revealed the MCU heroes might be up for a new villain in the film other than Thanos. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo continue to work on the Avengers 4 reshoots in Atlanta that will finish the much-anticipated blockbuster. And while fans patiently wait for any official updates about the movie, merchandise with regard to the film are keeping them busy as they concoct their own theories based on these fresh details.
Marvel Studios is keeping specific plot details about the film tightly under wraps, with the title still not being revealed despite the movie less than seven months away. Promotional efforts are still focused on Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, which will debut two months before Avengers 4 hit theaters, and official marketing for the ensemble flick isn't expected to kick start until the end of the year. That said, there were several merchandise leaks over the last few months giving fans an idea of what to expect in the movie. The latest one revealed that Earth's Mightiest Heroes might have to prepare to take on a new villain other than the Mad Titan.
Citing the same Avengers 4 toy design revealing new suits for the heroes, CBM is reporting that another villain may be introduced in the movie - one that is far more dangerous than Thanos. The description included in the tie-in merchandise reads: "The Asgardian Thor wields the mighty Stormbreaker in his battle against new foes," and "Rocket teams up with a new crew to guard the galaxy from an even greater threat." At this point, it's still very tough pinpointing who the soon-to-debut bad guy could be given that there's very little known about the plot of the film, but fans are speculating that it could be Annihilus based on rumors that the project might be titled Avengers: Annihilation.
Should this be the case, what's more interesting to know is whether or not the brand new threat that Avengers 4 will set up will be a one and done villain. Considering that it's poised to be worse than Thanos, it wouldn't really make much sense that Marvel Studios built up the Mad Titan for several years only to be overshadowed by another bad guy in one of his two big films. As such, it's possible this new threat might be more minor, like the Outriders in Avengers: Infinity War.
That said, given that Thanos pretty much established himself in Infinity War after getting all six Infinity Stones and successfully wiping out half of life in the universe, just pitting him against a better-prepared Avengers team wouldn't pose enough opportunities to pull plot twists. Introducing a brand new bad guy, on the other hand, will not only be surprising, it'll also open up the possibility of a team-up between the heroes and Thanos - something that has been done in the comics.
At the end of the day, Avengers 4 is expected to tackle the ramifications of Thanos' deadly snap in Infinity War. Whether or not the galactic genocide had some other consequences that haven't been revealed yet remains to be seen. While Marvel Studios has been always good with setting up their future, they need to make sure that next year's movie is also a satisfying wrap up to the 22-film narrative that they have been treading since 2008, and most importantly, that it's a proper send off to heroes who may no longer be around in Phase 4.

When a couple in California gets a divorce, if one spouse makes significantly more than the other, the other spouse might be able to draw on that spouse’s Social Security benefits. However, there are several factors that determine this eligibility.
The marriage must have lasted for at least 10 years, and the couple must have been divorced for at least two. The person receiving the benefits must not have remarried, although if the person did remarry and the marriage ended, it might be possible for them to get benefits from the previous spouse. Both must be at least 62. However, a person will get more benefits by waiting until the full retirement age of 67 to begin drawing benefits and even more by waiting until the age of 70.
Social Security benefits are determined by taking the best 35 years of a person’s earnings and averaging a monthly amount. This is known as the Primary Insurance Amount. To find out how much a person will receive in spousal benefits, the person’s PIA should be subtracted from 50 percent of the spouse’s PIA. The result is the amount that the person receives. If the number is negative, the person is not eligible for spousal benefits. The benefits of the higher earner are not affected by an ex-spouse’s eligibility for spousal benefits.
During the divorce itself, there may be a number of other issues around property division to address. Even if only one person in the relationship has worked outside the home, since California is a community property state, most assets will be considered marital assets to be divided between the two. This means that in addition to Social Security benefits, a person may also be entitled to half of a spouse’s retirement account. It may be necessary to follow certain regulations in dividing retirement accounts to avoid penalties and taxes.

The last few months have provided more than their fair share of stressful distractions. Several things have been pushed to the side or just plain ignored while I’ve dealt with those. I’m not out of the woods yet, but I’ve been making an effort to get things back on track.
There is one project in Wyrm’s catalog that has had the appearance of being cursed from day one…. the signed limited edition of Toast by Charles Stross. It was originally scheduled years ago and has been tripping over deadlines ever since. The good news is that is finally in the hands of our printer. If they survive the curse and don’t burn down, I should have the books in early September. I’ll post another update when they supply the final shipping date.
One of the other things I’ve been working on is an ebookstore for Wyrm and Clarkesworld. I think it still needs work, but I came to the realization that waiting for perfection was silly. You can now order ebook editions of Realms, Last Drink Bird Head, and back issues of Clarkesworld via the Wyrm Ebookstore. At this time, Wyrm has two stores: one for print and one for ebooks. It might be a bit confusing for some people, but it actually made sense when it came to the features each cart system offered. I hope to pull them together at some point in the future. Anyhow, the ebookstore has PayPal and Google Checkout as payment options. That should cover all your needs. Once paid for, you can download your EPUB or MOBI/Kindle edition and load it onto your reader.
Feedback on the ebooks or the store is very welcome.

Bacon Academy girls' tennis team hopes to repeat last year's success
By Kevin Hotary - Staff writer
Colchester - posted Mon., Apr. 11, 2011
“Last year was probably a dream season,” said Bacon Academy girls' tennis coach Donna Bonnin. Her team went 15 – 1, good enough to earn them a first round bye and home-court advantage in the state team tournament – an advantage they had to relinquish due to rain, instead beginning play in Madison. In addition to this team success, several players were named all-conference, with Catherine Clark and the doubles team of Hannah Pettit and Julia Puscas competing in the individual’s state tournament.
Although Bonnin lost six seniors to graduation, Clark, her #1 singles player, and the # 1 doubles team of Pettit and Puscas have returned for their senior years. So Bonnin remains confident that the team will remain competitive in the ECC, and will “get some wins against schools that we’ve traditionally lost against,” she said. Teams from Waterford, Windham and Woodstock, all schools that the Bacon Academy girls defeated last year, “are schools that we don’t usually beat,” she said.
Bonnin said that she was impressed with the team’s first match of the season, last week against Lyman Memorial High School, which Bacon Academy won, 6 – 1.
“But that was the first match. It will be interesting to see how it goes the rest of the season. It’s going to be hard to match last year,” she said.
Sometimes dominant last year, Catherine Clark “has improved dramatically this year,” said Bonnin, who is filling in the remaining singles slots with players in their first year of varsity competition or players who have not previously played singles.
Pettit and Puscas will finish their high school tennis careers as they started - a nearly unstoppable doubles team.
“I’ve thought about splitting them up due to other needs,” said Bonnin. “But I couldn’t do it. They just work too well together.”“All of the girls are excited. They’re enthusiastic. I think they want it to be as good a season as last year,” said Bonnin.
Bacon Academy Girls Tennis coach: Donna Bonnin. Thirteen years as head coach.
With her top players returning for their senior years, Bonnin is hopeful that this year’s team can emulate the successes of last year’s team, whose 15 – 1 record she thinks has provided some motivation for her current players. “But I think more importantly than the tennis for them, and for me too, is that they mesh well as a team. We were very close last year. I’d like to see this team meld like that team,”
Seniors: Alyssa Apelquist, Catherine Clark, Lauren Farrell, Nicole Raulukaitis, Laura Young, Julia Puscas, Hannah Pettit, Marissa Stanton
Players to watch:
Catherine Clark, #1 singles
“She is a caliber above most other girl players,” said coach Bonnin. She said that Clark is one of the most passionate tennis players she has ever known, playing year-round in USTA tournaments, and practicing both indoors and outdoors, “even when it’s 30 degrees outside” said Bonnin. Already a top player, Bonnin said that Clark has “improved dramatically” this year.
Hannah Pettit and Julia Puscas, #1 doubles team
“What makes them a good doubles team is that they are also good friends. They pump each other up,” said Bonnin. And while they have a good time playing, they are also “extremely competitive. They’re good students. They listen and they know how to play the game. They’re good at thinking on their feet when they’re out there,” said Bonnin, adding, “and they’re really fun to watch.”

After weeks of loss communication and worry, we finally managed to connect with Spacington — the city struck with disaster after disaster, finally leading to lost communication and connection to the world. In the brief connection we shared with Spacington; we discovered some faint photos describing just what has happened over the past weeks. The photos describe where the “city” stands now: destroyed rails and roads; no easy connection to neighboring towns. The city has become a District 12 environment.
We are not sure if we will ever be able to connect with Spacington again, and we are unsure of Spacingtons future, but maybe one day the few remaining Spacingtons can achieve the cities inevitability of becoming a 21st century urban city.
The city before the end.
Volcano’s erupt, Spaceships arrive.
The aftermath of the city.
The remaining Spacington. What we will happen next?

Do you have the faith required by God?
Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

IT’S about eight o’clock on Friday night when I stroll into Freo’s shiniest new entertainment venue – Flight Club.
I must see what the successor to the Newport Hotel has to offer.
Inside I’m met with a bustling bar, a live DJ playing The Cure, and tasty-looking share plates shooting around.
The space is cosy, instantly likeable and highly decorative with dark rosewood detailing, dangling ivy and yellow-bulbed lighting everywhere. I can’t help but feel I am on the set of Peaky Blinders.
Flight Club Darts was founded in 2012 when two English men caught up in a pub in Devon.
After watching a young group enthusiastically playing darts, the men were inspired to combine the high energy of social darts with the warmth and community of traditional British pubs.
“Pretty bonkers two English lads made all of this,” says Perth Flight Club manager James, describing the business’s humble beginnings.
“Our Perth venue was our first venue here in Australia; Fremantle is our second.”
James says Flight Club flew him over from England in 2021 to manage the new Perth venue.
“It’s a great place for sharing, socialising and gameplay, and the people of Fremantle have responded well to us, and we are stoked.”
Our conversation pauses briefly as we turn our heads to a lively cheer erupting from a group of people nearby.
“It has certainly taken off,” James beams.
I look up to the ceiling. Golden memories of being supportive (and slightly embarrassed) of drunk karaoke-stumblers cross my mind.
Their off-pitch notes echo around my head. And suddenly, I catch a whiff of a spilt fruity, fishbowl cocktail. Then I can almost swear my fingers feel slightly sticky. Oh, the charming Newport nights.
“What about upstairs – the previous bar used upstairs – it had loads of room,” I ask James.
He tells me upstairs is currently empty, but there is talk of a new separate bar opening there.
But enough about the past and the future, the present is the best place to be. I pick up the tall menu in front of me.
The venue also has an extensive food menu with most options designed to be shared.
Plates and platters are comprised of elevated modern pub-classics.
So, we are talking cheeseburger spring rolls, chargrilled meats, pork and apple sausage rolls, corn ribs and pizzas.
Bar-lovers can also look forward to a neat array of options, especially when it comes to gin (synonymous with the English, so it’s no real surprise).
There are plenty of wines, spirits, cocktails (the Lemon Meringue and Murray Peach Iced Tea taste even better than they sound) and a selection of icy beers on-tap.
“I would recommend the Red bull Sour, any of the pizzas and the chicken parmi; since being in Australia, I’ve learnt you can’t beat a good parmi,” says James.
Prices across the board seem reasonable and on weekdays from 11am-2.30pm you can snag a $15 meal.
Another drawcard for the venue – it can host a range of events.
“In our Perth venue it’s events galore: You can hire a MC and they walk the floor with a microphone and hype up gameplay. Whether it’s a work party or a birthday, everyone loves it to bits.”
I am not too fond of traditional darts, so I ask James if the gameplay has been reimagined at all.
“I’d say its classic with a twist: There are six types of games including demolition and snakes and ladders, they are great fun.”
Electronic screens are placed alongside each dartboard. It looks more engaging than a chalk scoreboard for sure; calling each player to the screen before flashing your result and finally a scoreboard viewing.
Darts always seemed a ‘boy’s club’ sort of game, so I am curious about the venue’s demographics.
“We get people from their early 20s to late 80s in here. I’d say it’s about 30 percent women.”
A few weeks earlier, I visited the Murray Street venue and asked a female bouncer the same question.
“Not a boy’s club anymore. In-fact, I see more females come in,” she said.
“But yes, it’s a non-judgemental space, people are just too busy having fun,” James added.
Upon talking to James, Flight Club staff, and the Perth bouncer, a real sense of pride is evident.
“I love working here,” said the bouncer.
The Freo staff were extremely friendly and attentive which makes me think they enjoy their work too.
James added, “We have a good name for ourselves. Back home in England when I tell people I work for Flight Club their faces light up. I am thrilled here in Perth it’s inspiring the same reputation.”
Flight Club also hold a High Tea Social every Sunday, where for $79 a head you get a bottle of Prosecco and bottomless sandwiches, cakes, teas, coffees and darts.
The venue feels like a new pair of stylish shoes – despite one’s excitement to wear them, you know they need to be worn-in to achieve maximum comfort.
Bar-lovers and activity-doers should be excited and dart on in.
I know I am looking forward to the next time I can find an excuse to visit Flight Club.
I think it’s fresh take on dart gameplay has convinced me to try the sport again.
If all fails, I’ll undoubtedly enjoy gin, high tea, cheering on people and head banging to The Artic Monkeys.

I have a problem with Gmail on HTC Evo Shift 4G running CyanogenMod-7 android version 2.3.7. Gmail will not work, every version I try does the same thing. I click to go into Gmail and it goes back to home screen. It does not force close, no error message, it just doesn't work. I have flashed the gapps before and after installing CyanogenMod. I have wiped everything. If it gave an error message then I would have something to go off of and it would not be a problem. Please someone help.

Background: To mark his sixth month as Head of State of State in Ecuador, General Guillermo Rodriguez Lara held a press conference in Quito last week.
General Lara told reporters that he'd called the conference to announce what has been achieved by his government since he came to power.
Firstly there was an alliance between the Ecuador Navy and the Government of Japan for transportation of petroleum products between the two countries, which was without presented, he claimed.
The Ecuador had maintained sovereignty over the 200-mile fishing limit off shore, and was prepared to stand by the threat to arrest any ship which infringed this boundary. On this particular subject, General Lara said that Ecuador would not renew any talks with the Untied States as long as U.S. sanctions were imposed against the country.
General Lara also told reporters that his government - which now includes four army ministers, two from the air force, one from the navy and three civilians - was determined as ever to defeat Ecuador's long-standing housing problem.
A start had been made with the building of 14,000 dwellings for workers at the port of Guayaquil, he said.

Have you ever witnessed the academic equivalent of mating a cat with a
dog? You will soon.
A new concurrent program, combining media, information and technoculture and the honours business administration program at the Richard Ivey School of Business will be introduced this coming September.
The creation of the new program is a response to the growing demand for graduates with strong educational backgrounds in both media and information technology, as well as business management, said Greg Moran, Western's VP-academic.
"Both programs are extremely outstanding and popular, [and] will lead to complimentary sets of educational experiences," Moran said, adding the new program will focus on leadership positions within the multimedia and information areas.
Regarding any tension that may be created due to a philosophical clash between the two programs, Moran said he believes they will be minimal and positive, adding healthy tensions will lead to extremely interesting discussions.
The concurrent degree program will offer a bachelor of arts in honours MIT and HBA, said Gloria Leckie, associate dean of the faculty of information and media studies, adding the demanding program will benefit those who are looking for business expertise within the media.
Such a program will lead students in many directions and is extremely wide ranging, Leckie explained, adding all avenues of radio, TV, public relations and Web management will be possible paths of employment.
With the growth of a global economy, it is important to combine other programs with business, said Larysa Gamula, director of the HBA office at Ivey. To better understand the changes of today, it is only natural to combine the two fields, she added.
Both areas of discipline provide a greater understanding of the other and, in turn, actually complement each other, she said.
"[The concurrent program] reflects the changes in the working world [and] allows more flexibility of what students can study at Western," Gamula said.
This program is available to those students currently enrolled in the
second year of the MIT honours program. More information can also be located
on the MIT Web site at www.fims.uwo.ca.

Debates about Irish culture have long been plagued by neat oppositions between conquering England and colonized Erin, Protestant and Catholic, stolid Saxon and dreamy Celt. Yet the greatest Irish poets have scorned such simplicities.
In this avowedly interpretative anthology of Irish verse, W.J. McCormack traces creativity of contradiction through several centuries, finding poets productively at odds with their forebears, their contemporaries--even with themselves. From Yeats's tragic laughter to the quieter ironies of Seamus Heaney, from the rambunctious narratives of Merriman and Joyce to the pathos of Wilde's "Reading Gaol," the same sparring spirit is found.
This exciting anthology brings together the very best in Irish poetry to reveal a broad yet sharply-focused tradition of diversity and dissidence. W.J. McCormack's compelling collection provokes a wide-ranging reconsideration of one of the world's richest literatures.
"McCormack's painstaking selection does justice to the panoply of Irish poets [and] does indeed reflect a national history, messy and complex, strident and joyful in the most tragic of circumstances." -Kirkus Reviews "Dr. McCormack's anthology is must reading for anyone who delights in the imaginative mind of the poet." -Council on National Literatures

I am often asked what I think about having such a schedule. I like it. I’ve never been very good about figuring out ways to spend my summer vacation. It can be inconvenient because my own children are on a traditional schedule. I do think it makes sense, though, for the students we serve – students who are very definitely subject to the summer slide.
We have 10 weeks on and then 3 weeks off. Actually, we have 2 weeks off and 1 week of (optional) PD. The new break is the fall one at the end of September. For now, at least, I can still get cheap flights.
It has some difficulties, though, especially if it’s not well-publicized. Today is the first day for all of our freshman. As of this writing, 14 have shown up. 14. Is it because they don’t know we’re a year-round school? Is it because they’ve hidden this fact from their parents?
The traditional school year starts August 15. Some argue that we shouldn’t really do much until then because we’ll get another influx of kids at that point. I don’t buy it. If we give in to the culture, then it’ll become entrenched. I’m not saying I want students in such a big whole if they arrive mid-August, but it should hurt enough so that they’ll remember next year.
It would help if our District did more to support it. Robocalls to those enrolled in year-round schools. A district calendar that includes the month of July. I recently sent in a help request for a tech issue and was told that it could wait because the tech person was trying to get everyone ready for school. He didn’t know – until I politely informed him – that school was ready for us today.
And the city could adjust as well. What opportunities can our students take advantage of over that fall break? How can we best help them make use of their shorter summer?
So my overall verdict after 2 years and a day? I’m in favor of it. Can a district have a hybrid? Probably. Publicity is required.

I know: you wait months for a post about old maps, and then two come along at once.
This beautiful little (roughly 4.5 x 6 inches) 1761 atlas arrived in the shop last week, and if you'll forgive me, I want to post all its maps online, just so they are recorded complete, somewhere. (Apologies that some of the photos are sharper than others.)
The binding needs rebacking (both boards are detached), but as you'll see, the maps themselves are in very good shape, considering they're over 250 years old... They are all hand-coloured in outline, which must have been a *very* delicate job.
Copies of this atlas are not common. I can currently find only 2 online, one with some damage at £750, and another for over two grand... Individual maps taken from a copy are also around, for upwards of $100 each. I won't be breaking this copy up though...
First off is a close-up of the local area (interesting to see 'KirkOswald' and Ainstable get equal billing with Penrith), followed by the whole book, in order.
[UPDATE: The atlas has now sold. I didn't think it would last long, and indeed it didn't!]

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The parents of two of three Arkansas boys who were brutally murdered nearly two decades ago said they're disappointed that a documentary about the killings and the three men convicted, known as the West Memphis Three, was nominated Tuesday for an Academy Award.
Todd and Diana Moore had asked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to exclude "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory" from consideration, saying it glorifies Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. The three spent 18 years in prison, long claiming their innocence and attracting attention from celebrities, before reaching a deal with prosecutors to be set free last year.
The film, directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, is the third in a series of HBO documentaries about the case. The 8-year-old Cub Scouts - Michael Moore, Stevie Branch and Christopher Byers - were found dead in 1993 in West Memphis, a town along the Mississippi River. Two drowned in a drainage ditch, the other bled to death; all were found naked and tied up.
The Moores, along with Stevie Branch's father and stepfather, sent a letter to the Academy and reporters on Tuesday expressing their "sadness, disappointment, and outrage" about the Oscar nod.
"This film should be exposed as a fraud, not rewarded with an Academy Award nomination," they wrote.
Berlinger, who was at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, said in an email that he was sympathetic to the victims' families.
"We believe that the pursuit of the truth has been the best way to honor the memories of the victims of this unimaginable crime and our hearts go out to those who are criticizing us," he said.
The Academy didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The film was among five documentary features nominated for an Oscar.
The first film aired in 1996 and immediately raised doubts about the case. Over the years, celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines joined the effort to free Echols, who was sentenced to death, and Baldwin and Misskelley, who received life prison sentences.
The three men were freed in August after pleading guilty to lesser charges in exchange for sentences of the 18 years they'd already served. An unusual legal maneuver allowed the men to maintain their claims of innocence.
Since then, the men have been relearning to live outside prison walls and new films are chronicling the case. "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory" premiered last year, and another film, "West of Memphis," premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this month.
The letter from the Moores comes shortly after Pam Hobbs, Stevie Branch's mother, asked the state to reopen the case after she saw new evidence in "West of Memphis." She believes Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley did not murder her son.
Prosecutor Scott Ellington, who handled the case in August, didn't respond to a phone message left Tuesday. He has said he believes the real killers were convicted but promised to look at new defense evidence.
Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley were convicted after Misskelley unexpectedly confessed and implicated the other two, describing sodomy and other violence. Misskelley, then 17, later recanted, and defense lawyers said he got several parts of the story wrong. An autopsy found there was no definite evidence of sexual assault, and Misskelley said the older boys abducted the Cub Scouts in the morning, when they had actually been in school all day.

Warmists plot secretly to kill off the Medieval Warming Period. Again
Remember how one of the great ambitions of the Climategate "scientists" was to "contain" the "putative" Medieval Warming Period? Well – guess what – they're STILL at it.
Michael Mann, Phil Jones, Jonathan Overpeck, Eugene Wahl, Malcolm Hughes – just about anyone who's anyone from the Climategate emails, in fact – have all been on a clandestine boondoggle to sunny Portugal, there to conspire how best to obliterate that embarrassing and inconvenient period of bounteous warmth between around 900 AD and 1280 AD known as the MWP.
Anthony Watts has the full story. The bit that interests me most is the size of their carbon footprint? And even more so, who actually grant-funded all these shysters to fly to Portugal for their weekend reality-denial fest? And even more, more so if it was us – which of course it was, via our governments, the UN and the EU – why we can't have our money back NOW.
Wattsy's site was responsible for another classic this week which you must read if you haven't already: Willis Eschenbach's magisterial and hilarious essay Eight tenths of a degree? Think of the Grandchildren! I met Eschenbach at Heartland: terrifyingly loud shirts and an aura of tousled levity and almost childlike sweetness which might give you the impression that he's just a barmy eccentric. Make no mistake, though, this man is a genius. I'll reprint the opening paragraphs to give you a taste:
James Hansen and others say that we owe it to our Grandchildren to get this climate question right. Hansen says “Grandchildren” with a capital G when he speaks of them so I will continue the practice. I mean, for PR purposes, Grandchildren with a capital letter outrank even Puppies with a capital letter, and I can roll with that.
In any case Hansen got me to thinking about the world of 2050. Many, likely even most people reading this in 2010 will have Grandchildren in 2050. Heck, I might have some myself. So I started to consider the world we will leave our Grandchildren in 2050.
I think we owe it to the people of the world to give them an idea of how much warming they can expect, so they can plan their buildings, businesses, roads and lives. They matter. They don’t care how much of it is due to CO2 or how much is rebound from a LIA due to forcings we don’t understand. They don’t. They probably shouldn’t.
We have temperature rises that we can almost trust from 1958 that show a trend of about 2 degrees for this century if things go on.
To start with, I don’t think we owe people anything more than the scientific truth as we understand it. And if we don’t understand it, as in the case of what the climate may be like over the rest of this century, we definitely owe it to the people to simply say “We don’t know”. Those three little words, so hard to say … so no, we don’t owe people a number if we don’t have one.
Read the rest here. If you haven't the time let me summarise his truly scary conclusion: that by 2050 our planet might possibly have warmed by….
Eight tenths of a degree!
How will our grandchildren cope?
Oh and one other piece you should definitely read. This one in today's Telegraph by Charles Moore on Britain's energy policy. It's bang on the nail and highly welcome. Possibly I'm being unfair when I say "joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth…" – Charles was never THAT much of a believer in the "Consensus". But I don't half find myself in agreement with this commenter Raffie:
At last! Somebody (other than Booker and Delingpole) in the mainstream media has finally woken up to the fact that the government is inflicting one of the biggest bills in history on us; (£18 Bn a year for forty years) for 44,000 25% efficient wind turbines ………. at a time when the country is over its head in debt and people are about to lose jobs left, right and centre.
Farewell, Knights of Delingpole – and thank you, trolls

Do you feel downright bad? You don’t have to. We’ll show you what to do when you’re feeling emotionally drained.
There’s a feeling that exists that is both physical and psychological but also nondescript. It blurs the lines between your body and soul, leaving you wondering whether you’re about to come down with something. Somehow, none of the usual flu-like symptoms fully apply.
Recognize that feeling?
For many of us, emotional stress radiates into our bodies, but it also takes many other forms. Reaching your pressure capacity may leave you feeling physically tired, and unable to find a reason to do as much as make yourself a bowl of cereal or even turn on Netflix.
Other common signs of being emotionally exhausted include:
- Sleeping in spurts or fits
- Feeling as though your effort won’t be rewarded
- Being plagued by fatigue
- Experiencing a lack of imagination or creativity
How are you supposed to feel better when you feel like nothing at all?
Emotional exhaustion, burnout, whatever you want to call it is real. Even if it may be chronic, it doesn’t need to last forever.
If you’re running on empty and even reading this is a chore, then sit up, brush your teeth, and put on your shoes. We’re here to help you fill your emotional tank.
Here’s what to do if you’re feeling emotionally drained.
Where to Start
Where do you even begin when you don’t feel like doing anything? We hate to say it, but the key to feeling better is to do something – anything.
Move Your Body
Getting active is a simple place to start. Don’t go out and join a CrossFit gym—unless that’s your tribe. Instead, start by setting small goals relevant to your own body and journey. If you’re feeling unusually low, make brushing your teeth before 3 PM a goal.
Then, challenge yourself more. Plan a short walk in the great outdoors (and down your block). Do the dishes. Go up and down the stairs in search of something you want instead of waiting until you absolutely need it.
No matter how many times you go through this period of life-sucking emotional emptiness, you’ll always be shocked at how your body’s endorphins set you on a positive path.
Do Something You Love
Ask yourself this: what do you love to do?
Don’t ask yourself what you should do or what you have to do. What do you love to do?
Distract yourself from your creeping negative mindset by filling it with something light. Activities aren’t the only way. There’s no need to draw out your inner Reese Witherspoon and hit the Pacific Coast Trail.
Whether you love taking a nap, visiting a lovely coffee shop, or bouldering in the Rocky Mountains, schedule some time to do just that.
When you feel emotionally exhausted, your brain dims your motivation and enthusiasm for life. It’s temporary. You never know what will reignite your spark, so try it all.
Get Out of Town
Is the same old, same old adding insult to injury? Go somewhere you haven’t been.
City dwellers—take to the country. Suburbanites—meet downtown.
You can go near or far, make it somewhere new.
It can be as simple as taking a new route home from work. Try taking a walk to a neighborhood you’ve never been to. Go on a staycation or even a vacation.
Regardless, doing something new will jolt you out of auto-pilot mode. New senses and situations require your attention, and your body will respond accordingly.
What You Should Do Now
You’re awake. The first bit of feeling as you come out of the emotional coma is invigorating, but how do you make it last?
Unfortunately, quitting your job and going on vacation full time isn’t a likely option. More importantly, even if it was available to you, it doesn’t solve your problem. Unless your job is the cause of your stress; we’ll deal with that later.
Warding off emotional exhaustion means seeking it out at its roots. What caused it? How did it grow from being a stressor to leaving your flat on your back? What can you do about it?
When you’re ready to take control, follow these steps.
You probably don’t have to think too hard to know where the source of your burnout lies even if you don’t want to admit it to yourself.
Trusting yourself is vital in keeping yourself emotionally healthy. Not only does it give you the freedom to know what helps and hurts you, but it also protects you by building up your sense of self.
When you trust what you know and make decisions accordingly, you recognize that you are worthy of having the life you want. You’ll also learn to practice self-care even in circumstances where putting yourself first is more laborious than submitting to someone else’s rule.
Ask for Help
Your journey isn’t just your own, and you don’t need to go it alone. Building relationships with people who respect and love you make your burdens easier to carry. More importantly, you’ll have people to look out for you when you find it hard to care for yourself.
Don’t just ask for help from friends, family, and colleagues. Professional help is out there, and it’s an invaluable resource. If you’re struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel or you’re dealing with some complicated issues like divorce or loss, talk to a professional. A counselor, therapist, or psychologist may provide the guiding light you need to work through what’s bringing you down.
Life changes little by little, but we tend to see the cumulative results all at once. Know that every day that you make a confident decision is work that you’re putting into your future.
Remember to make decisions that affirm and free you every day. Those decisions may be as simple as choosing a healthy lunch or making time for a friend. In some cases, those decisions are something you do for someone else: leave your favorite barista an extra tip to make their life easier. Do something sweet for a neighbor, co-worker, friend or even a stranger.
Every decision you make contributes meaning to your life. What you do today reflects who you’ll be tomorrow.
How to Stay Fulfilled
Emotional exhaustion isn’t a fact of life. It’s normal, but we don’t need to battle it if we protect ourselves while we’re feeling good.
Do you have a high-stress job or feel things more intensely than other people you know? We’ll show you how to manage your emotions so that you can remain fulfilled without limiting your range of feelings.
Practice Emotional Intelligence
Start by becoming emotionally intelligent.
Emotional intelligence is your ability to name and manage your feelings and the feelings of others around you. It’s a skill that everyone must work at over the course of their lives. Your emotional intelligence skill level will not only ward off emotional exhaustion but show you what to do when you’re feeling emotionally estranged.
To become emotionally intelligence, you’ll practice three skills:
- Awareness of your own and other’s emotions
- Ability to recognize and use your emotions to solve problems
- Managing and regulating your feelings
When you practice emotional intelligence, you’ll realize how you’re feeling and learn to deal with those feelings accordingly. It prevents you from buckling to the emotional roller coaster and the emotional hangover that often follows a difficult period.
It also means seeing your feelings and putting them to work. Is your resentment the result of feeling undervalued at your job? Emotional intelligence helps you put two and two together and then figure out how to talk to your boss about what you both expect from your role.
Practice Relationship Maintenance
We touched on relationships before, but they’re so important that they require constant maintenance.
Reaching out and building bridges is critical for crawling out of the hole and keeping yourself on solid ground. One aspect of relationship management often neglected is the pruning of negative relationships.
Do you experience encounters with people in your life that leave you feeling tapped out? Your relationships should fill you up – not drain you. Look at those relationships that seem to do more harm than good and find out whether those relationships are worth saving.
You Deserve Emotional Fulfilment
/how-your-emotional-quotient-influences-your-life//how-your-emotional-quotient-influences-your-life/If you’ve made it this far, then you’ve read a lot of suggestions. If there’s one takeaway that every single person should have it’s this: you deserve to feel emotionally fulfilled—not emotionally drained.
While burnout is a regular part of life, it doesn’t need to be your life. By recognizing healthy emotional habits, surrounding yourself with good people, and being kind to yourself, you’ll climb out of the depths of emotional burnout faster.
Don’t forget to care for yourself even when everything is running smoothly. Practicing emotional intelligence and caring your relationships with others – and yourself – will help you enjoy the full range of feelings available to us as humans without sending you on the roller coaster that leaves you feeling motion sickness.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. This is Dwayne B. and I’m an expert here and looking forward to assisting you today. If at any point any of my answers aren’t clear please don’t hesitate to ask for clarification.
Can you explain what you mean by an "assisted living facility"? This term can cover several different kinds of facilities and the answer would vary based on what kind it is.
My mother is in a facility where she receives round the clock care if needed, help with medication etc. It is, I believe one step removed from independent living. The facility she is in is Glencroft in Glendale, Arizona. They offer varying degrees of care.
This wouldn't be a normal eviction but it certainly would require at least the protections of an eviction. That would require a court order.
They sent a 30 day notice to me, in California. I do not believe that is proper service of the notice and that it has to be to her. Is that correct? Or is notice to me all theyneed. I am not a signatory of any of the documents as I recall.
They would have to give a notice to her, which could be either a 5 or 10 day notice, depending on the reasons they want her to leave. If she didn't leave at that point then they would file the action known as a "Forcible Detainer" case, and have her served at least two days before the hearing although usually it is longer than that. Following this service there is a hearing.
I do not think they can serve you in her place unless you are the legal guardian of her.
I should rephrase, they cannot serve you in her place unless you are her legal guardian.
It usually takes a total of about 30 days to evict someone unless they appeal and then it takes longer.
I am not her legal guardian. This information helps a lot. They are asking her to leave as she has not been able to pay the rent for several months. She initially bought an apartment from them then was moved to their assisted living.
What happened to the apartment?
Also, what is her condition that requires the medical assistance?
When she was moved to assisted living what equity was left in the apartment was applied to her rent. After that was gone she went through all her retirement savings and assets until she had nothing. I am on Social Security and cannot help - a guilt trip in itself. She has diabetes, fibromyalgia (sic) and numerous other ailments of which I am not aware. She can barely walk and uses a walker to get around.
They will have to serve her and start the process. Sending it to you does nothing.
Let me see if I can find a couple of websites on AZ evictions to provide some basic info to kind of round things out.
Please wait here and i'll be right back.
http://justicecourts.maricopa.gov/CaseTypes/eviction.aspx http://www.wikihow.com/Evict-a-Tenant-in-Arizona http://sites.lawhelp.org/documents/106891ARLTA_basic.HTML
Those will provide a little information. It's not terribly detailed but they are helpful.
Thank you Dwayne, you've been a big help. Where are you located? If the need arises I'll recommend you.
I'm in LA right now. If you need me in the future just start your question with FOR DWAYNE B and I'll pick up as soon as I see it.
And I certainly hope things work out well for your mother. It's a shame that places like this take all of someone's money and assets and then try to dump them.
Thank you. I couldn't agree more!! Have a great weekend
To you as well.
Best wishes to you and your mother on this and please don't forget to leave a Positive Rating (of course I’d suggest Excellent!) so I get credit for my work.
To save this do I do the rating first or hit save and exit first - of course I'm rating excellent.

The Birthday Letters makes a simple guitar riff into a fascinating folk track.
Unless you’re already a world-beating popstar that can pretty much put out anything and watch it get adoringly consumed by eager fans, putting a simple melody and riff at the heart of a song is risky business. More often than not, a simple riff will lead many to dismiss a track as amateuristic, boring or generic.
Seemingly, The Birthday Letters was either never told this or simply thought that he would take on the challenge. In any case, new single The Real Thing is built around one very simple strummed guitar line that remains at the centre of the track for the duration of the song. Yet it seems that The Birthday Letters is the exception that proves the rule.
The guitar line is surrounded by fascinating extra instrument lines and effects that add an air of intrigue and distinction to the piece. The vocal has a Lo-Fi padding to it, while the spoken word samples used throughout the track offer up something very different to just another acoustic-led strumalong. As a result, The Real Thing becomes more aurally interesting, meaningful and enjoyable. The Birthday Letters has taken on the challenge and beat it.

Barangay Julio Ounao before was a part of the vast jurisdiction of Barangay Poblacion under Barangay Captain Eleuterio Pongcol. Later during that time, the administrators encounter difficulties in handling the barangay government due to the subsistence of massive growth of population as well as with the complex juridical administration. For this reason, the Barangay Council proposes to divide Poblacion into two administrative barangays. Shortly after the Council finally decided to separate the Poblacion, the western part remains the status name as Barangay Poblacion, while the eastern part received the name as Barangay Don Julio Ouano, which is derived in honor to Mr. Julio Ouano Sr., a wealthy personality of the time who donated a large area of his land for a school site.
The barangay was created under the Municipal Ordinance No. 15 dated September 4, 1986. However, the assumption of President Corazon C. Aquino after EDSA Revolution resulted to the changes in the new set of barangay official who took their oath by virtue of the proclamation of Provincial Order No. 145 on January 12, 1987 in accordance with the Presidential Order No. 48. Since then, January 12 which is memorable day of the barangay is considered by the barangay official as the fix date of their official celebration of “Adlaw nan Barangay Don Julio Ouano”.
Barangay D.J. Ouano is called as on the busiest center in the municipality because it is where the presence of business centers is located like the Mercado Publiko (Public Market) and other institutional infrastructure like the Alegria National High School (ANHS).
The barangay is bounded by Barangay Ombong in the East, Barangay Gamuton in the South, Barangay San Pedro in the North and Barangay Poblacion in the West. The total land area of this barangay was divided into three (3) parts, such as: 50% planted with coconuts, 25% rice field, and 25% residential and commercial
Barangay Julio Ouano has a total population of 1,638 actual inhabitants.
Politics and Government:
In January 12, 1987, the Municipal Mayor was Ruben Odvina-Zamora who appoints the set of Barangay Officials of Barangay Julio Ouano with Rosalinda Moril-Natad, as Punong Barangay with the Sangguniang Barangay Members, Barangay Secretary and Barangay Treasurer. In the 1989 Barangay Elections installed Rosalinda Moril-Natad as an elected Punong Barangay under the scheme of Magic Seven.
In the year 1994 Barangay Elections, Punong Barangay Rosalinda M. Natad was replaced by an elected Punong Barangay Ruben G. Caumpay and became the ABC President until he completed the three (3) consecutive terms as Punong Barangay. During the time of Punong Barangay Ruben G. Caumpay, it was then the time that the DILG passed a particular Memorandum Circular on the creation of different special committees including the Lupong Tagapamayapa. The terms of the Lupon Members during the time of Ruben G. Caumpay accord with the term of the Punong Barangay, but some members were migrated to other places and some were incapable, and the vacant position were filled-up.
Currently, the Barangay is under the administration of Punong Barangay Ferdinand L. Angob who received the overwhelming votes in the year 2007 Barangay Elections. Some former members of Lupon were re-installed.

Your electronic devices, according to two latest researches, have the potential to make you really sick.
A recent study from the Journal of Applied Microbiology says viruses can easily be transferred from nonporous glass surfaces, such as the touch screen of an iPhone — up to 30 percent of a virus can be transferred from the screen of your device to your fingers. A separate British study Journal of Applied Microbiology says mobile phones are covered with up to 18 times more bacteria than a toilet handle.
Mobile Phones Are Covered with Viruses: Ashton explained, “Imagine these are germs, bacteria or viruses. You see how you touch your mobile phone all day long. Before long, it is covered with bacteria, viruses, germs.” She further added: “You know, we live in an environment that’s not clean, but when you talk about putting something like this near your face or touching it all day long and putting your fingers to your nose and mouth, you can see how easy it is. … If you hand someone your phone or put it down and don’t clean your hands, you see how this is a petri dish.” Dr. Ashton said people can catch any number of bugs, from cold and flu viruses to E. coli and norovirus. “I actually saw a patient who got MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) from their phone.”
How to Clean Mobile Phones: Dr. Jennifer Ashton showed some ways to clean your touchscreen mobile devices. To clean your product, you can wipe them down with special wipes you can buy at an electronics store. They also have cleaners you can buy if you’re concerned about damage. “I’d also recommend wipe down your regular phones and work areas with sanitizing wipes. ”
Basic Hand Washing: Wash your hands with soap and water. Wash them for at least 15 seconds or as long as it takes to sing “Happy Birthday.” You can also use a hand sanitizer as well.
Be Careful & Take Care of Your Health: Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth — and don’t forget to cover your cough and sneezes. With children in mind, Ashton added parents should clean their electronics as often as possible. She said, “Listen, you can’t live your life in a sterile environment and certainly day-care centers are ripe with germs, also, but you want to be aware that you do pick these things up from somewhere. If you hand one of these to your toddler to occupy while you are doing something, they can get sick from these so keep them clean. I wipe mine down with alcohol; I try to, once a day.”

There is no 1 thing you can do to ensure delivery, however one thing which could well help you is to send your emails to another server which uses spamassassin (or similar) which documents how it tags your email, and make appropriate adjustments. [ Experience shows that a lot of players who have "big servers" either use Spam Assassin in the background or an equivalent engine which looks for similar things.
Another solution you can use is to "make it someone elses problem", and relay outgoing email through your Internet provider.
Also, particularly if you are just starting out, you will find that some providers will limit the volume of emails you can send in a limited period. Luckily these limits tend to get larger as they see legit traffic from you, but it takes time. (Sometimes the solution here is to send email directly, then if it fails relay through your ISP - either that, or wait as typically they don't stop you sending, they just delay you and make you retry).
Also, set a reasonably aggressive initial retrys (60 seconds, then 5 minutes), which can help deliver emails faster if the provider is doing greylisting.
Also, check your logs - they should provide information as to whether the provider is accepting and discarding your email, or not accepting your emails at all.

MADISON, Wis. - Moose Racing has officially stepped up its sport-touring options with two new waterproof apparel lines: Monarch Pass and Expedition, as well as additional hard parts for adventure-touring motorcycles.
The Monarch Pass collection is Moose’s top-of-the-line offering and includes a jacket, pants and two glove styles. The lighter weight Expedition line has a jacket, pants, vest and gloves. Moose representatives debuted the new lines to dealers gathered for the Parts Unlimited National Vendor Presentation held last weekend in Madison.
The Monarch Pass jacket ($399.95-439.95) is constructed of Moose’s HDWB (Highly Durable Waterproof Breathable) nylon shell. It has D3O armor in the shoulders, elbows and back, reflective badging, a removable insulated vest, venting and a waterproof map pocket.
The Monarch Pass pants ($299.95-$329.95) are made of the same nylon shell and have D3O armor in the hips and knees. A zip-off bib bridges any gaps between the pants and jacket while riding.
The Monarch Pass collection also includes the short glove ($34.95) and long glove ($44.95). Both are waterproof and insulated.
The Expedition collection is similar to the Monarch Pass, but with a lighter design and more casual riding in mind. The jacket ($174.95-$189.95), pants ($149.95-$169.95) and vest ($79.95) are all made with the same nylon shell as the Monarch Pass collection.
Moose Racing also has new adventure-touring parts for motorcycles. Centerstands ($142.95-$243.95) have hardened fasteners, double springs, and independent mounting plates. Engine guards ($349.95-$445.95) are powdercoated black and protect the engine, side panels, shrouds and tanks.

skitouring at lofoten islands
a journey in the name of adventure
Unspoiled nature, wide spaces and freedom, are the ingredients that make the Lofoten Islands a particularly appreciated destination by ski tourers.
In this small isle of Norway, mountains and snow-covered ridges coexist in perfect harmony with the sea and fjords. The currents of the Gulf, mitigate the climate of this small northern land, located beyond the Arctic Circle, offering particularly favorable conditions: the frequent snowfalls and temperatures that remain constant during the day, keep the snow almost soft and powdery, allowing descents of great satisfaction.
A land where it's still possible to practice skitouring of research, easily moving by car from one destination to another, in search of better conditions. Addicted lovers, will have the chance to concatenate multiple peaks in the same day for an amazing fun (vertical drops coincide with the peaks heights, since most itineraries start at sea level).

ROUX, Dirk J; BREEN, Charles M and CARRUTHERS, Jane. Reflections on the history of aquatic science in South Africa with particular reference to the period after 1994. Water SA [online]. 2014, vol.40, n.2, pp.255-262. ISSN 1816-7950.
In this article we reflect on how freshwater research has evolved in South Africa from its beginnings in the early 20th century and how it has altered over time to align with the post-1994 socio-political environment. We situate aquatic science within a research question to explore why aquatic science has developed in the manner it has done, providing some of the broader environment of political change, access to funding, the relevance of particular research themes at different times, and the research agenda of some prominent individual scientists. We do not, therefore, intend merely to itemise what has been achieved over the years. Our intention is to develop an historical context that may help frame research in ways that bridge the cultural divides that persist between the humanities and the sciences. Moreover, although water is crucial to life and livelihoods in a country of scarce water resources, the fields of aquatic study are not generally familiar to the South African public and do not have the high profile they merit. In order to chart important current developments in freshwater research, this article highlights significant aspects of this scientific arena during the earlier part of the 20th century that are pertinent to explaining how and why the current situation, by way of research fields, policy and legislation came into being. The history has been necessitated by, and driven by, regional socio-economic and geopolitical factors as well as developments in the relevant scientific disciplines. After examining how this state of affairs came to be, an overview of the present state of the field is provided.
Keywords : research milieu; key developments; drivers of change; institutional change; policy.

The house was amazing, with the tenants working hard to find an incorrect solution to everything. It had been rented for 3 years. It was a disaster. Half way through the inspection my client's Realtor approached me from behind and said, "Jay, we're going home now. You coming?"
I THINK THAT MEANT THE INSPECTION HAD CONCLUDED. BUMMER! I HADN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE KITCHEN YET!
Outside, in addition to a boat load of other things that bothered everyone, we noticed the gutters.
EVERY SINGLE GUTTER WAS FULL TO THE RIM.
EVERY SINGLE GUTTER WAS COMING OFF THE HOUSE.
EVERY SINGLE GUTTER WAS ATTACHED TO A BURIED DRAIN LINE IN THE GROUND.
EVERY SINGLE BURIED DRAIN LINE WAS FULL OF MUD AT THE GROUND LEVEL.
EVERY SINGLE BURIED DRAIN LINE HAD AN EXIT NOBODY COULD FIND.
Okay, that is pretty normal!
But this particular gutter had more in store!
This gutter was draining its load onto the AC compressor!
Indoors the tenants noticed a problem.
The problem the tenants noticed was that the AC air flow was VERY low indoors. It is hardly blowing at all actually.
And they noticed, OBVIOUSLY, that the gutter was draining directly onto the AC compressor.
Their solution to fix the problem is interesting, to say the least!
And there it is!
Keep the water off of and away from the inundated compressor!
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WHEN THE AC IS NOT BLOWING HARD, THE PROBLEM IS WATER ON AND AROUND THE OUTDOOR COMPRESSOR.
A ramp and dam is built on the left side.
A deflector is carefully placed on top. Hint: DON'T cover your AC compressor!
This is a three-year-old compressor. See the dryer vent to its left? The fins are full of lint. That might be a part of the problem, huh? And that poor electric meter is so battered by water it is coming loose from the house. Yummie!
BUT, ALAS AND ALACK, THIS "SOLUTION" DOES NOTHING TOWARD THE IMPROVEMENT OF AIR FLOW INDOORS. WHAT MIGHT HELP IS REPLACING THE ONE FILTER IN THE CEILING OF THE UPPER LEVEL. THAT WAS SO CLOGGED WITH, UM, STUFF THAT NO AIR COULD GET THROUGH IT NO MATTER WHAT IS DONE OUTSIDE! IF I HAD TO BET, THAT FILTER HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED SINCE THESE INGENIOUS FIX-IT MASTERS HAVE BEEN IN THE HOUSE. THAT'S THREE YEARS!
Impressively, it is obvious to me that nobody, no homeowner, no neighbor, no friend and certainly no property manager, has been by this house to see it in three years. This house is a disaster. It has had such NON-CARE by the homeowner that the tenants have tried to fix things themselves.
I ASSURE YOU, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
This house is a mess not because of the tenants, although they aren't the cleanest people in town. It has been destroyed, and I mean destroyed, by the homeowner. I am not sure what he thinks he is doing with his "investment," but in its present state I cannot imagine that anybody would buy it. I am shocked the Realtor and his clients thought it wise to offer a contract and "see what the home inspector finds."
My recommendation: when it is known that a house is an "investment property," and the condition has every appearance of non care, I would recommend that you NOT wait to see what the home inspector has to say. As much as you or your clients see, what the home inspector will see is likely much, much more.
A WORD TO THE WISE...

Just what caused a mysterious explosion and the deaths of five key researchers in Russia’s equivalent of Los Alamos? The accident last week caused a spike in background radiation levels and prompted a scramble of nuclear-related support to Sarov, a secret city in northern Russia known for research and development on nuclear weapons. Western intelligence suspects that the new Russian nuclear cruise missile is under development in Sarov — or was, anyway.
The Russians finally broke their silence today, but didn’t actually offer any specific denials, CNN notes:
The Kremlin broke its silence Tuesday on the apparent explosion of a nuclear-powered cruise missile during a test, saying that accidents “happen” but that Russia remained “far ahead” in the development of advanced weaponry.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to confirm widespread international speculation that the accident — which claimed the lives of at least five nuclear specialists last Thursday — involved a nuclear-powered cruise missile known as the Burevestnik or Skyfall.
But in a conference call with reporters, Peskov denied that such mishaps would set back Russian efforts to develop advanced military capabilities.
The spokesperson said that only experts could speak with authority on such matters, but added: “Accidents, unfortunately, happen. They are tragedies. But in this particular case, it is important for us to remember those heroes who lost their lives in this accident.”
Russia had ordered the nearby village of Nyonoksa to evacuate, but then inexplicably canceled the order:
The Russian military on Tuesday told residents of a village near a navy testing range to evacuate, but cancelled the order hours later, adding to the uncertainty and confusion fueled by a missile explosion at the range that led to a brief spike in radiation that frightened residents and raised new questions about the military’s weapons program.
The initial notice from the military told residents of Nyonoksa, a village of about 500, to move out temporarily, citing unspecified activities at the range. But a few hours later, the military said the planned activities were cancelled and rescinded the request to leave, said Ksenia Yudina, a spokeswoman for the Severodvinsk regional administration.
The Associated Press suggests in the same report that this might have been a routine request:
Local media in Severodvinsk said residents of Nyonoksa regularly received similar temporary evacuation orders usually timed to tests at the range.
Even that seems significant, however. If they had a test planned and then canceled it, it might be because their nuclear facilities can no longer conduct tests. Or, alternately, the Putin regime figures they can sacrifice 500 of their citizens in order to maintain the Chip Diller routine.
That would be a long-term mistake. The Chernobyl disaster in 1986 didn’t lead immediately to the collapse of the Soviet system, but it certainly contributed to the erosion of its credibility and hastened its end. The Washington Post’s editorial board offered Russia a reminder of that this afternoon and told Vladimir Putin to ‘fess up:
Initially, Russia’s defense ministry said two people died in the explosion, three were injured and there was no radiation release. Then officials in Severodvinsk, a larger city some 19 miles away, posted on its website a statement that sensors recorded a short-term spike in radiation, without saying how much. The report was subsequently taken down. Residents rushed to stockpile iodine against possible radiation exposure. Ambulances carrying the injured appeared to be sealed by some kind of plastic film, and personnel were wearing hazmat suits. On Aug. 10, the Russian state nuclear agency, Rosatom, said five of its employees had died in the accident, bringing the total to seven. Moreover, Rosatom said the blast resulted from the test of a jet engine “propulsion system involving isotopes,” or nuclear materials. On Aug. 13, residents of the small village of Nyonoksa were told they would be evacuated temporarily.
If this slow dribble of facts sounds familiar, it is — the same parade of misdirection happened during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. This accident is nothing like Chernobyl in scale, but the government response looks familiar, including a lack of transparency about radiation release. As the recent television series “Chernobyl” vividly illustrated, that accident, the worst in the nuclear age, was characterized by lies and deception. At the very least, Russia should immediately clear up what occurred at Nyonoksa.
They also raise the warning for the rest of us:
If the Nyonoksa blast was a test of the Burevestnik engine, Russia may be further along than previously thought. Mr. Putin has taken pains to brag that Russian can develop weapons with an asymmetric threat to the United States. Test failures are to be expected. But at a time when nuclear arms control is falling apart, this test raises a question: If successful, what kind of new nuclear threat will Russia possess?
Maybe it wasn’t so successful, which might be why Putin’s not talking much about it.
Update: According to an ABC source, the US is pretty convinced this was related to the development of the nuclear cruise missile. Another says that it’s likely never going to work for Putin and that more such failures can be predicted:
The explosion in northern Russia last week that killed 7 people “likely” involved Russia’s new nuclear-powered cruise missile, a U.S. official said. Russian authorities have given conflicting information about the explosion and whether it was triggered by testing of the missile, which is intended to fly long distances and go around air defense missile systems. …
Russia has never given details on how the the new missile works but most arms experts believe it is a so-called ramjet—that is an engine that works by sucking in air, heating it and then releasing it out the back to create propulsion. The miniature nuclear-reactor heats the air.
The United States abandoned the development of a similar program in the 1960’s, leading outside experts to question whether the concept of a nuclear powered missile is feasible.
Cheryl Rofer a veteran scientist who formerly worked at Los Alamos Laboratory and who said she had been personally acquainted with the U.S. ramjet program, in a blog post Sunday wrote that the Kremlin had likely been persuaded to back an unrealistic program.
“I think that what has happened is that someone sold a program to Putin. The visuals are cool, and the idea of a cruise missile that can just keep cruising obviously appealed to him. The promoter of the program may even believe in it,” Rofer said. “ I’m saying I think they’ll never have an operating system.”

Home equity conversion mortgages are safer than ever
Support offered by HECM lenders
- Pre-loan counseling so borrowers understand their obligations
- Monthly payout options to aid long-term financial planning
- Loan-payoff deferral options for surviving spouses
Reverse mortgages made headlines several years ago as retirees lost their homes because of complications arising over reverse mortgages. These stories of lost homes, ruined retirements and financial problems passed on to surviving spouses and children gave reverse mortgages a bad name at the time.
New rules put forth in recent years by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are aimed at increasing the safety of home equity conversion mortgages (HECMs), the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA's) reverse mortgage program. Used wisely, an HECM reverse mortgage can be a safe and important part of a financial-retirement plan.
The biggest change is mandatory, pre-loan financial counseling. If you want to take out a home equity conversion mortgages (HECM) reverse mortgage, you must first sit down with an approved counselor to make sure you can fulfill all the requirements of the loan. You can find a counselor on the HUD.gov website. The counselor will cover the following:
- Program eligibility requirements;
- Alternatives to reverse mortgages; and
- Provisions for paying off the loan.
More importantly, during this counseling session, borrowers must prove they can afford the ongoing financial responsibilities associated with their property. To secure an HECM, borrowers prove they can pay property taxes, home-insurance payments, homeowner association or condo-unit fees, and maintain the home in accordance with the loan agreement.
After completing this mandatory counseling, retirees can then find an FHA-approved lender to begin the loan process.
Another major change made by HUD was to offer structured, long-term payments through a variable-rate HECM loan. These loans help seniors use reverse mortgages as an integral part of their retirement plans, providing a monthly stream of money they can use to pay bills and maintain their lifestyle.
You can chose from the following five plans:
- Equal monthly payments for life, for as long as you live in the home.
- Equal monthly payments for a selected, fixed amount of time.
- A line of credit with payments made in amounts and at times you choose until you exhaust line of credit.
- A combination of monthly payments for life (as in No. 1 above) and a line of credit.
- A combination of monthly payments for a fixed amount of time (as in No. 2 above) and a line of credit.
You can still get a lump-sum payment by taking out a fixed-rate HECM. This can be useful for emergencies or to help you move into a more manageable space while selling your home. All HECM requirements still apply, however, so you must complete counseling and prove you can meet the financial obligations of your home.
The third major change made by HUD helps to prevent surviving spouses from getting evicted from their homes after their spouses pass away. This rule provides a deferral period on paying off the loan as long as the surviving spouse continues to live in the house.
To qualify for this deferral, the surviving spouse must:
- Have been married to the borrower for the entire duration of the loan;
- Have been disclosed to the lender and named in the loan;
- Have occupied and continue to occupy the property;
- Establish legal ownership of the property within 90 days of the borrowing spouse’s death; and
- Ensure all other obligations in the HECM loan documents.
HECM loans, when used properly as part of a complete financial retirement plan, can help seniors enjoy the equity of their homes while continuing to live in them for the rest of their lives.

A cause for celebration - Mark had read his first chapter book! We went to the library today, and I saw some books titled 'Boyz Rule!' and thought that would appeal to Mark, so I pointed them out. He selected all 3 books, and got them out himself. He has now read 1, and is half-way through the second book. I'm so proud of him. He hasn't liked to get books out, but if I can find books that appeal, we might just have something.

All 24 spots in the ESL One Rio Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major will be filled through the Regional Major Rankings system, organizers announced Thursday.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, ESL and Valve moved the Rio Major from May to November, making it the year's only Major. Instead of receiving a direct invitation, teams will gain their spots in the $2 million tournament through the rankings.
The Regional Major Rankings will be determined through earned points, and events closer to the major will result in greater points earned.
"Teams competing in an RMR series will receive Major Ranking points based on their placement. We will have more details on the point distribution once we have a final list of the Major Ranking competitions between now and the Rio Major," Valve said in a statement.
There will not be any Minor tournaments used as a qualifier.

God Among the Shakers: Search for Stillness & Faith at Sabbathday Lake Reviews
I've been fascinated with the Shakers since 2001, when I visited the (no longer active) Canterbury Shaker Village in New Hampshire. A few years after that visit, I picked up this book by Suzanne Skees. She lived with the Shakers of Sabbathday Lake, the last active Shaker community in the United States. At the time of her visit, in the late 1990s, only eight Shakers remained. Now, there are only 3 or 4 Shakers remaining. Even Martha Stewart has visited the Shakers; check out this video: http://www.marthastewart.com/908784/s...Two things that surprised me about Shaker life were 1) how much the greater community is involved at Sabbathday Lake and 2) how prosperous and industrious the Shakers are.Skees conveys just how much the Shakers give up in order to fulfill their spiritual goals. Of course, to the Shakers, they aren't "giving up" anything. This is a beautifully written book. Skees' words are poetry. This is one of my favorite passages:It was not just sex Shakers give up: It was the standing power of one mature body next to another through the years and changes of a lifetime. It was the comforting presence of two lovers, side by side on the bed, through quiet or restless nights of life's twilight years. It was the familiar comfort of one wrinkled smile to another over the heads of doctors, beyond the reach of pills and heating pads, alongside the fear of decay and death. It was the tenderness with which one lover buried the lifeless remains of another, placing him down into the earth with hands lined with years of loving him, tending his grave with faithfulness that only one person in this world remembers.
I read this about 10 years ago now, in two parts.The author is a little effusive, but that's all right. She manages to share her beautiful experience visiting the Shakers; plus all her research on the sect, just fine. She made me want to visit, to go to Maine and attend a Shaker meeting. There are many things about the Shakers that I didn't know -- for instance, they haven't all died out. They have mellowed in the last century, opening Meetings to the public and all. They have quite a following.I did think Skees dwelt a little too much on celibacy and how she couldn't possibly do without sex. That's kind of the typical worldly response, I guess. The Shakers response made me laugh, with their dismissal of that. I liked knowing that celibacy was not the most difficult part, but more likely the living in close community. But it was all beautiful -- especially "hands to work, hearts to God".
I don't know how many Shakers are left, when I read this book there were only a handful. This book tells the story of a nearly extinct religion and way of life.
I got on a Shaker binger, after watching a PBS documentary on them this past weekend.

I am looking for help in identifying this lamp. Bought it at an estate sale of a 95 year old. It has an exterior filler tube, and a lever on the side that raises a metal shaft over the wick to extinguish the flame I believe. On the knob, it is dated Jan. 16, 83 and Feb. ??, 73. It has a marble base. It measure 12" tall without the chimney. Any information that you can give me will be appreciated.

As we discussed in our latest report, Cloud-based solutions are revolutionizing the way that enterprises conduct business. These web-based versions of common business tools, like analytics or document management tools, retain most or all of the functionality of their desktop versions and provide significant access, customization, and utility to end users. More organizations are ditching on-premises solutions and adopting cloud-based tools, also known as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), “hosted,” or “on-demand” solutions. They are becoming invaluable assets in today’s agile and mobile workforce.
In the last half-decade, the adoption and use of cloud-based business solutions has been on the rise with procurement and supply management teams. In fact, Ardent Partners research has found that their adoption has grown by 37.5% over the past few years, with 54.6% of Chief Procurement Officers and their teams reporting cloud adoption in 2016 compared to 40% in 2014. Chief Procurement Officers love “going to the cloud” because it allows them to focus on what is most important to them: automating and repeating processes, scaling resources, and driving greater value through greater volume.
The Value of “Going to the Cloud”
One of the principal challenges to wider technology adoption (particularly in the mid-market) has been the lack of technological infrastructure within many enterprises. After all, in order to deploy desktop or server-based solutions, a typical enterprise needs not only the software and workstation, but also the server(s), IT technicians, security features, and the know how to implement and maintain the solution throughout its lifecycle. It creates (or sustains) an enormous amount of overhead for small- and mid-sized organizations. For Chief Procurement Officers, securing funding for an on-premises solution can be too big of an “ask” if the infrastructure is not in place and there is no room in future budgets for the associated costs. But hosted solutions allow Chief Procurement Officers and their lieutenants to take advantage of the benefits of modern solutions, like eProcurement and eSourcing, without necessitating costly infrastructure, maintenance, and security.
Because hosted solutions are internet-based (rather than on a company’s internal servers or on desktop stations), they allow business leaders to offload expensive infrastructure requirements to third-party providers for nominal monthly service fees. In doing so, they can provide small and mid-sized organizations with access to very innovative and robust technology solutions without the expensive overhead of supporting IT infrastructure and staff. These features improve user experience and drive greater usage, which allow organizations to scale operations, increase throughput, and drive greater value as a result.
By design, cloud-based solutions also attempt to “solve” the configuration problem that can prevent organizations from deploying the latest and greatest version of a solution by two or more years. With large on-premise solutions, like an ERP system, IT frequently has to allocate significant time and resources to customize it to the user’s specification. These customizations can be lost when the solutions are upgraded, requiring IT to either reinvest the time and resources to restore customizations or to delay upgrades. The result is that many organizations are “stuck” with an overbuilt but outdated solutions when there are newer, better solutions in the market.
Cloud-based solutions can help change all of this by providing purpose-built solutions that allow for user configuration, regularly and automatically upgrade, and preserve the configurations in the process. Since these solutions are turnkey, organizations and end users do not have to spend significant time and resources updating them.
Cloud-based procurement and sourcing solutions are transforming the way that Chief Procurement Officers, their departments, and their staff save the enterprise money and perform their jobs. On-premises solutions are gradually being phased out in favor of hosted solutions that represent a lower total cost of ownership when hardware, storage, security, staff, and customization / configuration are factored in. Chief Procurement Officers do not have to sacrifice capability for scalability and cost effectiveness; they can have both in hosted, cloud-based solutions.

Murray's to OTC Medical21 December 2015
OTC Medical takes over the marketing and distribution of Murray's in the Netherlands. It's hairstyling products are for decades extremely populair amongst a large group of satisfied users. Murray's has built up a substantial legacy, and has as much potential for the future. Especially during the last years Murray's has realized a huge worldwide growth; it is OTC Medical's goal to cope with this growth in the Netherlands.
Murray's was founded in 1925, when Mr. C.D. Murray started to sell the hair products under the company name "Murray's Superior Products Company". From the first day he believed that an honest product sold at a fair price would spell success. In 1947 he stated on this:
"In the United States countless articles and goods are manufactured to promote your comfort. If those things that are fairly offered to your comfort or peace are worthy they live. If not, they die. The Murray's Superior Products Company's cosmetics have outlived a score of big names that blazed high for a while and died quickly."
On the basis of this principle Murray's managed to continuously grow. Today Murray's is well-known around the globe; everyone is familiar with the recognizable orange tin cans with the well styled man and woman. From the start back in the 1920's, the products were so good that have barely changed over time, until today. The number of satisfied, returning customers continuous to grow.
Today there is a complete Murray's assortment with, amongst others, Murray's Nu Nile for a "wet look", Murray's Super Light for a lighter alternative, Murray's Hair Glo for added shine and a special "Obama" edition.
OTC Medical is delighted with the transfer of Murray's. It is, for a long time, one of the world's most famous and best appreciated hairstyling brands. In addition, Murray's fits OTC Medical's strategy perfectly; grow organically as well as with new brands of the highest quality.
Please contact us via the details on our contact page for more information on the transfer or the Murray's products.

After you've completed the steps described above, your LLC is official. But before you open your doors for business, you need to obtain the licenses and permits that all new businesses must have to operate. These may include a business license (sometimes also referred to as a "tax registration certificate"), a federal employer identification number, a sellers' permit, or a zoning permit. For more on business licenses and permits, see the Licenses & Permits for Your Business area of Nolo's website.
File with the appropriate federal, state, and local governmental agencies. Depending on the business purpose of your LLC and the jurisdiction in which you organize, you may have to file additional forms relating to LLCs with certain governmental agencies. Each industry is regulated differently—as is each local jurisdiction—and so it is best to ask an attorney or accountant for assistance in this matter.
If you don't plan on raising investment money for your business, think you might need asset protection and need flexible business management and taxes, then an LLC is likely the best choice for your business. Whether you are a sole proprietor, have a partner, or a multi-member corporation, the LLC is a great choice for small business owners, as it can provide the same limited liability protection as a corporation, without many of the complexities and formalities associated with them. At Incfile we see all sizes and verticals of businesses forming an LLC — from LLCs for real estate agents or financial advisors to solopreneurs such as personal trainers or even marijuana businesses. A number of entrepreneurs decide that an LLC is the business structure that fits their needs.
The businesses registered with the State of Utah are either located in Utah or doing business in Utah as a: Business Trust, Collection Agency, Corporation (For Profit and Non Profit), Professional Corporation, Doing Business As - DBA, Limited Liability Company - LLC, Limited Liability Partnership - LLP, Limited Partnerships - LP, Limited Cooperative Associations - LCA
Entity Number – The entity number is a unique identifier assigned to a business by the Ohio Secretary of State. It is a 'Charter Number' for Domestic Corporations. It is a 'License Number' for Foreign Corporations. It is a “Registration Number” for Domestic and Foreign Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, Trusts, Trade Names, Fictitious Names, Name Reservations, Trademarks, and Service Marks,
Articles of organization are short, simple documents. In fact, you can usually prepare your own in just a few minutes by filling in the blanks and checking the boxes on a form provided by your state's filing office. Typically, you must provide only your LLC's name, its address, and sometimes the names of all of the owners -- called members. Generally, all of the LLC owners may prepare and sign the articles, or they can appoint just one person to do so.
Where the equipment you use in your business was acquired as a gift, you may report your estimate of its current market value on the Business Property Statement (that is, what you think it would sell for in the open market place). Enter that estimated value in the most current year's cost line and add a note indicating that the entry is an estimate.

Do you remember when People's Daily, a Chinese Communist Party newspaper, mistakenly believed that a satirical Onion article naming Kim Jong Un the Sexiest Man Alive in 2012 was real and published a 55 page slideshow about it? How we laughed.
Now the shoe may be on the other foot.
Last week, multiple news sources, including NBC News, Fox News, and, yes, Business Insider, picked up a story in the Singaporean newspaper Strait Times that said North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had his uncle Jang Song-taek executed by feeding him to 120 ravenous dogs.
Very quickly, some people began to realize that there was something a little off about this story. For one thing, the Strait Times sourced their news to a Dec. 12 article in Wen Wei Po, a Hong Kong-based newspaper supportive of the Chinese government. In studies of the different credibility ratings of Hong Kong newspapers, Wen Wei Po consistently ranks near the bottom. No official in Seoul has come out to lend credence to the report, according to The New York Times' Lede Blog.
Reports of North Korean excesses are always worth being extra-skeptical of — there are few Western reporters in the country and most of the rumors that filter out come through South Korean intelligence sources, who very much have their own axe to grind. This story proves even less trustworthy than most, however.
Trevor Powell, an employee at an investment research firm who grew up in Taiwan, went back to check the Wen Wei Po story, and noticed something unusual. Writing on his blog, Powell describes how he noticed that the dogs detail of the Wen Wei Po story appears to be sourced to a "tweet" on the Tencent Weibo microblogging platform. You can see the original Wen Wei Po story here (the tweet is included as an image) and the original tweet here. It's translated below with Google:
The Tencent account is held by someone with the user name Pyongyang Choi Seongho, who claims to be an editor at a North Korean newspaper currently studying in Beijing. They have almost 40,000 followers, but are not verified.
There's something a little strange about the Pyongyang Choi Seongho account, however, and it's not just the background cartoon of Kim Jong-un flipping the bird. Pyongyang Choi Seongho appears to be run by (or at least inspired by) the same person who runs a similar unverified account on Sina Weibo which is better known (it has over 2 million followers). The Sina Weibo Choi Seongho has been featured a number of times in the Chinese press, but — and here's the important part — many observers believe it is satirical. The popular expat blog Beijing Cream described Choi Seongho as a "master Internet troll" last year.
Could Western media really have been duped by a satirical tweet? I sent this theory to David Bandurski, a project researcher at Hong Kong University's China Media Project. While Bandurski stopped short of saying the account was definitely satirical, he didn't find the account to be believable. "Unless a reliable source at Tencent can confirm their identity," Bandurski wrote, "this is highly suspect."
Frustratingly, this still doesn't mean that we can rule the 120-dogs execution method a complete lie — it's not completely clear that the Tencent Weibo account was the origin of the rumor, unfortunately. But it does show just how a flimsy Internet rumor about North Korea can end up making headlines around the world with very little evidence.

A report said that data centre and enterprise local area network software defined networking (SDN) is beginning to take off.
A report from IHS Technology said that the market for SDN Ethernet switches and controllers will hit $1.4 billion in 2015, double the revenues in this sector in 2014.
Cliff Grossner, a senior analyst at IHS, said in the first half of 2015 bare metal switches represented 45 percent of global SDN capable Ethernet switches.
White box vendors are number one in bare metal switch revenue. Dell owns 100 percent of branded bare metal switches, while HP has the largest share of SDN capable branded Ethernet switch ports.
In-use virtual switch ports will make up 11 percent of ports shipped by the end of this year. SDN physical Ethernet switches will represent 15 percent of Ethernet switch market revenues in 2017 – now it’s only four percent.
Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, announced that the company will build two data centres in the UK.
The UK data centres will become part of a network of 26 data centres worldwide.
Microsoft is interested in growing its cloud computing business in which it finds itself in an unlikely war against Amazon.
Amazon has plunged billions into providing web services which also generate billions in revenue but have only yielded tiny profits in the last financial quarter.
According to the BBC, the reason that Microsoft is building data centres in the UK is partly to allay privacy worries about data being held outside a country’s borders.
A report from Gartner said that IT spends in 2016 will rise 7.2 percent from 2015 and be worth an estimated $72.3 billion.
Gartner said spend on internet of things (IoT) hardware will exceed $2.5 million a minute next year.
Mike Harris, group vice president of Gartner, said his company believed that in five years a million new devices will go online every hour.
But the real value of the IoT for India is not in the data itself but in the algorithms that make sense of the billions of connections.
Gartner believes that India will be the fast growing IT market for the second year in a row. By the end of 2019, the market will be worth $87.67 billion in revenues and while India is the the third largest market in Asia Pacific, by 2019 it will be the second biggest market, with China in the lead.
Mobile phones will represent nearly a third of the overall IT spend in 2016.
Gartner is also predicting that data centres will grow by close to four percent next year, with much of the growth from enterprise equipment and servers.
Sales of 100G network ports will grow by 262 percent between now and 2019, according to data supplied by IHS Technology.
Matthias Machowinski, research director for enterprise networks said that deployments of 1G and higher networking ports continues to grow with demand both from enterprises and service providers.
He said that the higher the port speed the higher the growth rate. “That means that 40G and 100G are the key growth segments of the market. Looking ahead, we expect 40G revenues to start falling as early as 2017, as enterprise and data centre demand shifts to the newly released QSFP-based 100G technology.”
IHS said that Google, Microsoft and Amazon are all introducing 100G Ethernet switching into their big hyperscale data centres.
The company released data showing that 1G/2.5G/10G/40G and 100G port shipments will exceed 700 million this year, worth an estimated $45 billion. 100G port shipments doubled in 2015 compared to 2014, with 163,000 shipped.
Software defined datacentres (SDDC) are the wave of the future, according to a prediction from market research company Gartner.
An SDDC is a datacentre with virtualised infrastructure and delivered as a “service” but it’s not right for all enterprises, Gartner VP Dave Russell said.
“Due to its current immaturity, the SDDC is most appropriate for visionary organisations with advanced expertise in I&O engineering and architecture,” he said.
But by 2020, 75 percent of global enterprises will go for a hybrid cloud model that uses the SDDC approach.
Russell said you can’t buy an SDDC off the shelf and implementation needs new skills and a shift in the IT organisation.
He cautioned that vendors will still try to lock in customers and open soure standards or a cloud management platform can’t completely help.
He said people need to recognise that adopting an SDDC “means trading a hardware lock in for a software lock in.”
The enterprise storage systems market was worth $8.8 billion during the second quarter of this year – growing 2.1 percent compared to the same quarter last year.
IDC said that revenues were spurred by original design manufacturers (ODMs) which sell their wares direct to hyperscale data centres. That segment of the market grew by 25.8 percent in the quarter, year on year, and accounted for $1 billion worth of revenues.
The trend is for enterprises to buy storage tech cutting cost and complexity – that means a move towards cloud storage, software defined storage, flash optimised systems and integrated systems.
Despite the move towards buying from ODMs, EMC remained on top of the vendor pile, although its revenue growth fell by four percent year on year. It holds 19.2 percent of the market.
HP grew by 8.7 percent in the quarter, with 16.2 percent market share. Third was Dell with 101 percent market share, and IBM held fourth position with 8.1 percent share.
Oversupply of DRAM for servers led to a glut of product being available in the first half of this year and so causes price drops in memory.
But, according to market research company Trendforce, although that glut was caused because of general weakness in the notebook sector, sales of servers are very healthy.
Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft have all boosted demand in the server market, so pries of memory for this sector remained comparatively strong.
But growth in the server market is beginning to slow down, according to Trendforce, and a price gap between DDR4 and DDR3 memory is narrowing.
The analysts said that the averprice of DDR R-DIMMs fell between seven bu ine price but compared to DDR4, that’s nothing. Prices of this modules have fallen by close to 20 percent.
DDR4 will be the predominant memory product for servers by the fourth quarter of this year.
Trendforce thinks that demand will be stimulated later on this year because Intel is promoting new server processors later this year.
Many anticipated that data centres would revive the marketplace for servers but it appears that uncertainty about the global economic situation will slow down growth for the rest of this year.
The push by IBM to be the predominant company in the cloud space has taken yet another turn.
It said today it has opened its first cloud data centre in Italy, based near Milan.
IBM said the cloud centre uses a SoftLayer infrastructure and is aimed at providing Italian businesses to store data and run workloads.
The cloud computing market saw a 31 percent growth in 2014 and is worth over $1.33 billion, Big Blue said, quoting figures from the Polytechnic University of Milan.
IBM now has cloud data centres in London, Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. The company claims that connections to SoftLayer services within Europe are now less than 30 milliseconds which is fast enough for real time bidding, and big data and analytic applications.
The cloud centre has room for up to 11,000 servers, a power rating of 2.8 megawatts and enough room for a mass of storage.
IBM Cloud centres now number over 40 worldwide.
Tablets and smartphones are now so important to employees and outside individuals and coupled with the proliferation of cloud based applications, businesses ignore mobility at their peril.
That’s the conclusion of an IDC survey, which said that while Western European companies have acknowledged the importance of mobility, businesses in Central and Eastern Europe are lagging behind.
And the interest of mobility are prompting business units and IT departments to cooperate closely with the IDC survey showing that mobile strategies come about because these units collaborate together to make these things work.
IDC believes that there are several pillars to what it describes as the “third platform”. The other pillars in the temple are big data analytics, social media and cloud.
The survey said that many companies will succeed or fail depending on how effective their mobility strategies are.
Figures for the first quarter of this year show that factory revenue from enterprise storage systems worldwide rose by 6.8 percent, quarter on quarter, year on year, to stand at $8.8 billion.
IDC said that total capacity shipments rose 41.1 percent year on year to stand at 28.3 exabytes. An exabyte is one quintillion bytes, or one billion gigabytes (GB).
IDC said that spending on “traditional” external arrays fell during the quarter but demand for server based storage and hyperscale infrastructure rose strongly.
EMC help the pole position in the storage rat pack, collecting 17.4 percent of all spending in the quarter. HP was second with a 14.6 percent share, while Dell had 10.2 percent share.
But original design manufacturers (ODMs), such as Taiwanese firms like Quanta selling directly to data centre customers was 12.6 percent during the quarter.
As far as external disk storage systems are concerned, EMC was the clear leader (27.3%), followed by Netapp (13.6%), and HP and Hitachi holding 9.1 percent and nine percent share of worldwide revenues.

FEBRUARY: BRISTLECONE PINE
Pinus aristata or Bristlcone Pine is a very hardy, drought tolerant, landscape specimen tree that works really well as a character pine or focal point for beautiful Boulder Colorado Landscapes. This is not the type of pine to use as a windbreak, or for privacy screening. It is very slow growing, having a bottlebrush appearance to the branches, with short needles arranged in clusters of 5 that can remain on the tree for up to 40 years. Some of the oldest trees on our planet are the Bristlecones found in the southwestern United States, many of which are now over 3,000 years old. There are really 3 species of Bristlecone pine…aristata, longaeva, and balfouriana. Here in Colorado, the species most available for residential landscapes is the aristata.
Most soils along the Front Range towns of Colorado are alkaline, and are perfectly suited to the bristlecone. Often, soil amendments are added to plants to bring the soil closer to neutral or acidic for evergreen species, but the Bristlecone prefers the alkaline soils. As with all new plantings, breaking up the clay with amendments is necessary, but do not overdo the compost amendments with the Bristlecone….it really prefers a rocky, dolomite or limestone type soil. Keep watered when newly planted just like with all new trees, but back off soon after establishment to prevent drowning and root rot. Good drainage is essential as it does not like to have wet feet. Once established, they will do just fine on the annual moisture we receive in Colorado. They can handle a bit more water, but are definitely on the low end of the water tolerance scale.
The Bristlecone species are invaluable to paleoclimatologists because they provide a history of moisture variations in the southwest United States through dendrochronology or tree ring dating which can go back almost 9,000 years using cross referencing. Even the locations of the oldest specimens are kept secret so they do not attract attention from people who might harm them.
For residential landscapes, the Bristlecone provides a unique specimen focal point from a design perspective. They are generally not available larger than 5-6 feet high due to their slow growing nature. The one in the picture is probably close to 30 years old and was planted as a small 4’ speicimen, and is now only about 9’ tall. Obviously the Bristlecone can handle full sun, but this speicimen was planted on the north side of a garage, does not get much direct sunlight except in the late afternoon in the summer, and seems to be doing just fine with that limited amount of light. Consider planting one as the center piece of a designed landscape. It will surely provide years of enjoyment.

Here are just a few lessons
I learned that were reinforced today.
1. I crash and burn without my “me time” (aka days off). Feel me K?
I was in a beezy of a mood all day today (come to think of it, I’d say I’m going on day 3 now). Even one of the male (read: unobservant) NPs on the floor noticed and asked me point blank what was wrong, and told me I seemed down. Shoot. So much for my poker face. He then asked me if I was “chemical” which was so hilarious, I couldn’t help but laugh. How I managed to put on a smile for my patients is not just a miracle, it’s like the 8th wonder of the world.
2. Sick fiancé plus working girl adds up to a disaster of an apartment.
Picture this: Dishes in the sink piled sky high. Trash can filled to the brim. Empty soap dispensers. Dangerously low tissue/toilet paper/paper towel supplies. Basically, I will NOT be joining the Real Housewives of NYC any time soon. Working is one thing. Working and single-handedly holding down the
fort apartment, is another. Kyle needs to get better soon because I am seriously starting to 95% already crumble (I may be 95% there already).
3. Cold & rainy weather equals homeless/schizo patient overload.
I already discovered this lesson last winter, but I had forgotten how bad it actually gets. When our floor isn’t filled, we HAVE to (grrrr) take Emergency Room overflow. Since we are a cardiac floor with telemetry beds, all the patients need to get on our unit is “chest pain.” Oh brother. I have chest pain just thinking about the past shift. Admit me.
4. There is no reasoning with those who don’t understand reason.
Tough love is one thing. I am good at whipping patients into shape against their will. But why am I trying to argue with a guy who is definitely bipolar about why 7 suppositories are not medically advised (not only did he claim his past nurses allowed this [riiiight], but he also already had 3 bowel movements that day). Or the lady who claims she only speaks Russian (after I conversed with her the entire day before in English) and refuses to participate in passive range of motion while in bed (never mind the fact that I can’t even drag her from her precious jungle of blankets, which will surely result in pneumonia). If you have no desire to recover from open heart surgery, then why are you wasting my time. Of course, the patients’ stories change the second the surgeons enter the room on rounds. Manipulative buggers.
5. You can never pack to much food.
I took this pic and thought “there is NO WAY I can eat all this.” Wrong.
I ate it all. And that salad is even in my BIG tuperware (if you are wondering why I had to use a different tuperware, see lesson #2).
I’m kinda on a Clif bar binge. Loving the Z bars, especially the seasonal spooky s’mores. The salad was the most random thing ever, and I was as excited to east it as I was to make it. It did the job (which is hardly the way I like to feel about my food).
The rest of the diddies you know by now: protein pretzels, raisins, dried papaya, dried mango, apple, mini Luna bar (almost out of the minis!), and sugar snap peas.
I got home from work EX-HAUSTED and was so relieved that dinner was already done. I was definitely in need of a no brainer.
What we have here is a bit of snack plate action (times dos).
First up, a leftover black bean pumpkin burger on a WF english muffin with hummus as well as a side of BN squash. And on deck, an assortment of hummus vehicles, including apple slices, carrots, shrooms,
my finger, and a spoon.
It was even better the second time around (although that may have something to do with the fact that no prep was involved).
Like a Good Neighbor
State Farm hummus was there.
Dessert was fruity (and a bit vanilla-y).
In D.C. for the weekend, and I’ll announce the winner of my giveaway when I get back!

The Vision, his semen, and his friends
That’s the second issue I received in the mail upon becoming a member of Friends Of Ol’ Marvel in 1975. As you can see, it featured the Vision, introduced with great force & verve during the later stage of Roy Thomas’ Avengers run, and developed into one of the finest favorite heroes of the day by Steve Englehart, the writer on the book when this issue of FOOM came out.
In the featured interview, they’re talking about the Vision and Scarlet Witch, understandably, as during Englehart’s run, he brought the whole tortured-attraction thing to its end, first with much whacked soap opera involving the Swordsman and Mantis (who became the Celestial Madonna, instead of Moondragon; this was when cockamamie Marvel plots were written on the good stuff, or so I speculate) and then with them getting married. The story of this event had been published just weeks before.
That’s Mantis on the left there, getting married to some cosmic plant whatsis who’s taken the glowy semblance of the dead Swordsman which is creepy and gross. In this or one of the associated stories, they have sex, like actually on-panel, with a swirly Tao symbol in the background. See too how Iron Man, Thor, and an itsy bit of Hawkeye are wedged into the art to confirm that this is at least nominally an issue of The Avengers. For the life of me I can’t recall what Dormammu had to do with it, and since Celestial Madonna necrophiliac Tao sex is going on, who cares?
In the FOOM interview, the conversation turns toward whether the Vision and the Scarlet Witch can have a kid, what with the Vizh being basically made out of plastic.
You gotta love 70s interviews, there’s no attention to protecting a brand or selling oneself as a product. It’s like watching Soul Train and realizing that no, there was no wardrobe person who double-checked every stitch before someone went on camera, they just showed up and whatever they wore went on-screen with them. And as for what they said or might say, who knows? Roll’em!
Case in point: Englehart mentions artificial insemination as the obvious and only solution.
It’s more topical than you might think. Obviously livestock techniques had been around for a long time, and even using frozen sperm dates back to the 1950s, but the 1970s is when the commercial sperm bank entered the culture. It was a big topic of the day right alongside vasectomies, in tandem in fact, with much talk of storing one’s sperm and then getting snipped, for babyless screwing with the option of a screwingless baby later, if you wanted one. This sort of thing figured heavily in Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock, a book which I am certain Englehart knew by heart.
For perspective, the Roman Catholic Church had pronounced the Pill impermissible in 1968 after over four years of deliberation, Roe vs. Wade went on from about 1970 through 1972, and IVF was as hot and undecided a topic between the legislature and the National Institutes of Health as cloning and stem cells are in recent memory. As with stem cells, genetic engineering, and cloning (completely different things), sperm donation was hopelessly entangled in the public mind with in vitro fertilization. The travails of a hapless showcase couple named John and Doris Del-Zio were in and out of the news for years, including one literal case of sabotaging their attempt at IVF. I think the term “test tube baby” emerged specifically from their media coverage, and again in an English woman’s pregnancy a few years later.
In the early 1960s, a donor insemination (DI) pregnancy was ruled legitimate (i.e. the child was not illegitimate) by a Georgia court. In 1968, a man named Sorensen was held legally accountable for child support for the DI child born to his wife. In 1973, the Uniform Parentage Act settled it federally that the donor is not legally the father, ever.
Consider the generation time too – this is when the people who were about ten when the Pill became available were confronting grown-up choices, even as both the technology and law were in flux. They were looking for economic options, but they were also trying to figure out what was right, at best, and at the very least, cool. Drs. Rothman and Sims opened the first commercial sperm bank, the California Cryobank, in 1977. Therefore Steve’s mention was not politically neutral, as a casual reference to an everyday technological convenience. In 90s terms, he might as well have talked about a Marvel character getting an abortion in an it’s-an-option way. In fact, much like abortion prior to Roe vs. Wade, sperm donation prior to the mid-70s was widespread but kept very quiet pending the settling of its legal status.
Anyway, simply, completely unstudied, an ordinary guy talkin’, riffin’ on the subject, Englehart muses about whose sperm would be used and suggests that Steve Rogers or Jarvis would be the obvious candidates. As a possible story in the Avengers. Thinking nothing of it, the editor of FOOM sends it to the printer and off the issues go to the eleven-year-olds like me.
Can you imagine the PR lawyers getting smacked with that kind of interview in the bona fide oh-ficial Marvel fan magazine today? Holeeee shit, I can see it now, the barrage of “our fine author didn’t mean that,” quickly changing to “our fine author didn’t say that,” and “speculation that semen or sperm exists in the Marvel Universe 616 or otherwise is completely unfounded,” “Marvel Entertainment, its employees, and all its affiliates have no idea what sperm, or this other thing, artificial insemination, actually are,” as heads quietly roll behind corporate doors, and a zillion injunctions fly to scotch the twittering and youtubes with bogus proprietary claims … countered of course by viral internet JPEGs of cosplay tableaux including turkey basters and a run on Jarvis-costume wear.
Better times, my friends. Those were better times.
There’s a sad ending for me here too. Sometimes it’s not good to revisit a beloved title. Exactly a decade later, somewhere in the mass of incomprehensible blithering that was the Secret Wars 2, in one of the V & SW miniseries, Wanda used a hex to mess with whatever it is the Vizh regularly squirted into her unmentionable, and got pregnant that way.
I read that issue with some sadness, especially since it had been written by Englehart. The equivalent panels depicting the vial delivered to the grateful couple with some pride by Cap and/or Jarvis vanished from the realm of imagination, never to be seen again.
Next: At corporate, they just sell paper

In Reply to: What to ask the hep doc ? posted by Cindy on September 01, 2000 at 21:57:23:
: First visit with the doc after liver biopsy is next week. What are the most important questions to ask?
Here is a list of questions you might want to ask. Get a copy of all of you lab reports so you can do your own research.
Do your own research on recommendations by going to this website: www.hcop.org and clicking on favortie links. You will find lots of good information there.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT TESTS AND
1. How will this test aid in the diagnosis or therapy of
my illness? 2. Will I need to be hospitalized? 3. Will other tests need to
be done? 4. Will I need other tests in the future, or will I need this test
repeated? 5. Are there simpler or less risky ways to evaluate my
symptoms? 6. What if no diagnosis is made? Will you then simply
observe me to see if the symptoms go away, or will you possibly have to
go as far as exploratory surgery? 7. Do I have any particular risk factors
for any of the tests? 8. Will my insurance cover the costs of tests done
either inside or outside of the hospital? 9. Please explain to me exactly
what you are going to do during this test before you start. 10. How long
will it take? 11. Can I expect any unusual feelings, pain, or sensations?
12. Will I need someone to drive me home after the procedure is over, or
will it be safe to drive myself? 13. What are the risks of this test, and how
often do they happen? Am I at particular risk? 14. Are there special
instructions to follow before or after this test? 15. Will I need to be seen
after the test is done? 16. Will you call me with the test results, and can I
get a copy of them for my personal records? 17. How will I know if a
complication is occurring? 18. What should I do if I experience a
complication? 19. Are there any side effects I should be concerned
SOME ( More ) QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR: Info for Patients
Information for Hepatitis Patients Patients being treated for any condition
have many questions. Here are a few you more may want to ask.
1. Is there a possibility the diagnosis is incorrect? It does happen
occasionally you know. 2. Are there any tests (or additional) tests
available to confirm the diagnosis or to show the severity of the illness? 3.
What organs of my body are involved and in what way? Will the damage
to these organs be progressive? If the damage will be progressive, be
sure to ask the usual time course over which this occurs. Ask for
drawings and down-to-earth terms to help you better understand what is
going on with your body. 4. What other organs of my body can I expect to
become involved as a consequence of the illness? 5. What are the
possible ways I could have gotten this illness? 6. What are the
possibilities of my passing this illness on to others, and in what ways?
Should I worry about my family catching it? What about sexual
transmission? How can I minimize the risk to others? 7. What
complications am I at risk for and at what stage of the disease? 8. What
symptoms or change in symptoms should I be concerned about? You
need to gain some perspective on your illness and not become obsessed
with every little ache and pain or change in symptoms. Find out which
symptoms are important, and which you need to watch out for. 9. Are
there any organizations that can provide more information about my
illness or help with the problems that result from my disease?
There is a
national organization (in the U.S.) dealing specifically with liver disease
called Hepatitis C Outreach Project (www.hcop.org)
This organization can provide you with literature and
advice concerning your hepatitis. There may also be local support groups
which your doctor can direct you to. He may also know of certain medical
centers and research facilities who have compiled sources of information
about your disease or who can inform you of new or experimental
10. What medications are available to control the disease? Do
you ever conduct or can you refer me to someone who performs
experimental or research trials? 11. What are the risks and benefits of
taking this medication at this point in my illness? 12. If I am unable to
tolerate this medication or if it is ineffective, are alternative therapies
available? 13. How will I know if I am responding to treatment and how
long will I need treatment? 14. Is transplant an alternative at my stage of
the illness? Would you or when would you recommend it? 15. Are there
diet changes or other measures I can take to lessen the effects of the
disease? 16. How frequently do I need to be seen by a doctor? 17. How
do I contact you in an emergency? 18. Can I do any home monitoring of
my illness that might reduce the needfor office visits? 19. Will I be able to
continue working? 20. Can I expect to have to take many sick days? 21.
Will this illness affect my ability to obtain life or health insurance? 22.
Ask questions about the specific hobbies, sports, family and social
activities that the disease may have an effect on. 23. Will the drugs I am
taking interact with other medications or impair my ability to have sex?
24. What are your recommendations regarding alcohol, smoking,
aspirin/tylenol/motrin, other prescription or non-prescription drugs? 25.
Will the illness or the treatment interfere with my ability to have children?
26. Will the disease or the treatment be disfiguring? (Weight
gain/loss,hair loss, etc.)
I hope this helps,

Under Wayne State University’s David Adamanny Undergraduate Library Textbook policy the library is limited to purchasing one copy of most textbooks for General Education Introductory (1000-2000) level courses only. Under this policy the library will retain a limited number of previous editions of some textbooks.
Faculty may request the library to purchase a single copy of a textbook and additional material not owned by the library to go on Course Reserves. Faculty and Departments are welcome to provide additional textbook copies to be placed on Course Reserve.
What is course reserve?
Course Reserves refer to library materials that are gathered together, in print format in accordance with U.S. Copyright Policies, and temporarily given a restricted circulation location to support the work of a specific class for at least the duration of a semester.
The purpose of placing materials on Reserve is to make common reading assignments readily available to a large number of students within a relatively short period of time. Reserves are specifically tied to the general curriculum and individual classes.
What classes will the Library purchase textbooks?
We will purchase one (1) copy of a textbook for undergraduate General Education Introductory (1000-2000 level) courses only.
What defines an introductory course?
We are using the criteria as specified in Wayne State University’s class description from the online Undergraduate Bulletin.
What if I am in a large class of 100 or more students?
A student should notify and discuss his or her concerns with the instructor of the course. A faculty member who finds that the Undergraduate Textbook Service and Course Reserve collections does not satisfactorily support a course can bring extra (department or personal) copies of the material to the library and we will place those items on reserve.
What happens if a library textbook is stolen or damaged?
The Library System will incur the cost of replacing the item.
Are there any other alternatives available to me instead of buying a textbook?
Yes, there is a popular service you can use to try to find your textbooks called MeLCat. There are no guarantees that the item(s) will be available; however, if they are available you will have a 21 day loan period and a possible renewal. Also, Barnes & Noble bookstore has introduced a new textbook rental program which allows you to rent the textbook you need at a reasonable cost.

Happy November, everyone!
I can’t believe October, along with my art series, 30 Days of Fall, has finally come to a close! Creating a new piece of art each day has been very challenging, but I am so glad I was able to pull through in the end. It definitely takes a lot out of you creatively. When I came up with the idea, I had no idea the kind of commitment it would be. (I also had no idea “Inktober” was a thing either or I might have done that..haha..) Between creating the actual art to taking decent photos, creating listings on my website, and even just sharing each post on my social media, I had almost no free time in the day to do other business related things most of the time. (Not to mention that I was constantly blowing up everyone’s news feed-sorry about that.) There were many days where the last thing that I wanted to do was draw or paint, but knowing that I had already made a commitment to this gave me the motivation I needed and kept me creating.
All the artwork featured below:
If you have followed the series over my posts on Facebook and Instagram, you probably noticed the variety in different artworks and styles. I envisioned creating a lot of different types of fall-related paintings, but found that these took an incredible amount of time and materials. I would’ve had no canvases left once the series ended! Doing a detailed, quality painting every day I feel would have really burnt me out fast over the 30-day time span. In the beginning, I started with more surreal and abstract paintings then went on to landscapes/scenic paintings followed by illustrations and more abstract work. Towards the end, the look and feel of my pieces were beginning to encapsulate the essance of the artwork that I love and hope to keep creating. I love revolving my work around nature and emotion. All in all though, working on this series was the exact push I needed to kickstart my art journey and new lifestyle. I can see myself improving with each and every day.
After making it through the hectic time of October, I am starting this month feeling fulfilled and very motivated! I have a lot of things planned for this November and am very excited! If you got my newsletter that went out today as well, you will have heard all about that so I wont bore you with announcement repetition. Not subscribed to the newsletter? Subscribe here.
Drill is coming up this weekend and I am actually somewhat excited for that mostly because it will be easier for me to focus being that I won’t feel the pressure to create art. I find that I create my best work when I can simply be me and create what I hope to see exist in the world. I struggled with coming up with ideas over my series also because everything was supposed to be “fall themed.” Towards the end especially I just started creating more woodsy, forest-inspired art and I felt the most happy doing those sorts of works. Perhaps that is my own personal style starting to poke through? I’m still working on discovering it all.
Before I end this blog-sorry if I completely bored you all to death-I just wanted to share real quick that I’m having a fall clearance sale in my shop starting today! Use coupon code fall30 to get 30% off any and all of the artwork I completed for 30 Days of Fall!! It gets better! I’ll also be offering free shipping for orders over $49! Sale ends November 15th. There is only one of each piece and once it goes, it’s gone, my friends! Happy shopping, loves!
Now that Halloween is over, I think it’s perfectly socially acceptable to announce that…I’m going to start decorating for Christmas this week! I’ll post all about that (PLUS PHOTOS) in my next blog, so stay tuned! Get into the holiday spirit with me and subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss it! I love you all so so soooooo much!
