You are going to have many calls coming in of important customers and you do not want to have all those customers go straight to an answering machine if you are on the phone. You do not want them to have a hard time getting hold of you. That would hurt your business instead of help it. Your customers need to be able to get through to you and talk to you when they call.

Use an intranet if possible. An intranet allows you to post important information that your employees need to know about immediately. A lot of companies will post their policies and procedures on the intranet and when changes are made they will post a bulletin on the intranet talking about the change. Another thing that companies might post on an intranet is information about upcoming events. An intranet is a fast way to get out accurate information to all of your employees.
Use emails. While emails are not as informative as an intranet is they are perfect for informing employees in your department about department meetings, changes in deadlines, or changes in schedules. With emails you can send the memo to one person or you can send it to your entire department. To optimize your email you want to set clear guidelines about what is acceptable to email and what should not be emailed. For example if it is against your company policy to forward emails that contain inappropriate items for work you need to be specific with what your company considers inappropriate. Also another way to optimize your email communication is to remain professional, do not send emails that are cute or have pictures attached to the signature lines. Keep everything uniform within your company guidelines.

letter can make a big difference. An ill conceived letter to a potential employer sends the impression that you are ill educated or simply do not respect the formality of the situation. Poorly written business letters sent to potential clients or business partners could cost you not only money but the possibility of establishing potentially lucrative relationships. A business letter reflects its writer and you certainly do not want that reflection to incorrect and negatively received.
The proper business letter contains the writer's contact name, address, phone number and other relevant contact information as applicable (such as e-mail address or fax number). This information in found at the top of the page and should include a space between each set of information (i.e. the name, phone, etc. are on separate lines). Depending on the type of business letter format that you use this information can either be flushed to the right or the left of the page. Contact information is obviously important because you will likely need a response tot the letter that you are sending and your reader will need to have your information close at hand. Don't forget to put the date underneath your contact information.

We are temporarily out of stock. We are making more right now. Expect to have them back in stock on May 2, 2019.
Dimensions: Click to view a jpg file in a separate window.
This PML rear axle cover features a drain hole with magnetic drain plug, an unmachined boss for a temperature sensor, and a level check/oil fill hole. Extra capacity, fins, and aluminum construction dissipate heat for cooler fluid temperatures.
Check your differential for size, shape, number of bolts and clearance before ordering. Jeep used variety of Dana differentials. Click to view a dimensions in a separate window and keep in mind that there is a restocking fee of 20% for returns.
We do not make a front cover to match the rear SRT8 cover because the stock cover connects to the suspension.
This image shows the bolt pattern from the stock rear cover of a 1996 Grand Cherokee compared to this PML differential cover. Note that the bolt patterns match.
This image also includes the distances between the bolt holes so you can use this to check if the bolt pattern on your stock cover matches.
Many thanks to our customer Chris who created this drawing.
PML developed this differential cover in response to many phone and email requests. We knew there was a problem when we got a call from an owner that the paint was peeling off the stock cover because the fluid temperatures were so high.
Thank you to the many Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 owners who provided images, measurements, and suggestions during the design and development of the cover.
Some installations temporarily take the sway bar off, like surfrman's (below), other people lift their vehicles so no weight rests on the tires and install with the sway bar in place. Installer should verify installation and fitment based on the individual vehicle.
Image of cover installed on a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 at left.
Picture courtesy of Thomas Breen. Mr. Breen can be reached via email at: TBreen650@aol.com with questions about his install of this diff cover. You can also contact PML with any questions, 800-335-4345 or yourcovers@pmli.com.
Click on image to view larger in a new tab or window. Our thanks to Mr. Breen for his assistance with this cover.
Road trip time... This 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 drove from Pennsylvania to get a new PML differential cover.
Image of this PML Dana 44A cover in the polish finish installed on a 2006 Jeep Commander. Picture courtesy of surfrman.
Check out surfrman's great installation "how to" on the www.jeepgarage.org forum.
Generally, this PML differential cover will not fit 1999 to 2004 Grand Cherokees because there is not enough clearance between the sway bar and the rear axle cover. PML customers have worked around this with a lift kit or added spacers.
Our thanks to Phil for his feedback and pictures.
Note from Phil about the spacer: Washers do not make good spacers. Washers will give the clamp the expected rise but do not secure the bushing to the base so it will move around inside the clamp and over time most likely cause the bolts to snap but a solid plate spacer supports both the clamp as well as the bushing. Also if you measure and drill your holes exactly, which in his case was 2 3/4 inches center to center, and only drill them big enough for your bolts to comfortably fit thru, the spacer itself will provide added lateral strength to your installation.
Ramon installed this PML Super Dana 44 cover on the rear and PML Dana 30 on the front of his 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9L. His ZJ is lifted and had extra clearance, which allowed for the install of the rear cover.
First image shows the ZJ, second image shows Dana 30 front, and last image shows Dana 44 Super rear.

Lawsuits and appeals plague the aftermath of the deadly explosion of JJ's restaurant on Country Club Plaza in midtown Kansas City.
One year has passed since the explosion and fire at JJ's restaurant killed waitress Megan Cramer and injured 15 on the edge of Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo.
Investigators have found fault in the blast, but legal action continues. Ten lawsuits are on file by people legally claiming damage in the natural gas explosion. Suits are not expected to go to trial for more than a year.
The gas company, MGE, still has two weeks to appeal the ruling from the Missouri Public Service Commission that they failed to act urgently to protect the lives of people in JJ's.
Chief staff lawyer for the Commission Kevin Thompson said MGE didn’t follow its own emergency plan that night.
“That plan included acting to save life and notifying people of the hazard, once they had determined a hazard existed and what the extent of the hazard was,” said Thompson.
MGE has said it will challenge the finding so there might be a trial-like hearing. The wounded are still healing, and nearby damaged buildings are still vacant.
Missouri Gas Energy failed to act urgently to protect the lives of people in JJ’s Restaurant last year, the Missouri Public Service Commission ruled Thursday.
The gas company violated its own safety rules that lead to an explosion that killed one woman and injured more than a dozen others and it should be fined, the 125-page report said.
A Missouri State agency has asked for more time to report findings on the deadly explosion at JJ’s Restaurant in Kansas City, Mo. The findings are now expected nearly a year after the blast and fire.
A report had earlier been expected weeks ago.
A buildup of flammable natural gas exploded at the restaurant on the west side of the Country Club Plaza last Feb. 19. It killed one person, Megan Cramer, who worked at the restaurant.
The Kansas City Fire Department on Thursday made a major change in the way it responds to gas leaks, after it was highly questioned for its response to the JJ’s restaurant explosion.
In what he said will be his final statement on the event, Fire Chief Paul Berardi announced that the department will stay on the scene of any gas leak until the situation posing a risk is resolved. The department will also begin sending a battalion chief and a fire unit with monitoring equipment to all gas leak calls.

The same model may have a similar price tag at dealerships nationwide, but the cost of owning that vehicle can vary dramatically by region. CarInsurance.com recently rated all 50 states using its Automotive Misery Index.
The Misery Index factors the cost of gas, miles driven and cost of insurance in every state. It then compiles those numbers together to figure out what percentage of a state’s average household income goes toward car ownership: the higher the percentage, the higher the misery.
What’s the worst state to live in according to Car Insurance.com’s Misery Index? Mississippi. Mississippians drive a ton, spend a lot on gas and have the lowest average income of any state. Once those factors are combined with above average insurance costs, residents of Mississippi spend 11.6% of their annual income on their cars.
The next four worst states to live in after Mississippi are Oklahoma, Louisiana, West Virginia and Georgia. The top five states, in order from one to five, are: New Hampshire, Alaska, Connecticut, Colorado and Washington.

According to a report by market research firm Mintel, three out of five fastest-growing coffee markets are currently based in Asia: Indonesia, India, and Vietnam. Specifically, Indonesia tops the chart with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6% in the last five years. For India and Vietnam, these figures are 15.1% and 14.9%, respectively.
The report also reveals the types of products that are popular among coffee lovers around the world. In Asia-Pacific countries, 29% of all new coffee launches were ready-to-drink cold coffee products. This figure is only 10% in Europe.
Moreover, Asia-Pacific dwellers were the most receptive to instant coffee: over two in five (42%) of the region’s coffee launches were instant coffee, while only one in five (20%) product launches were in Europe were instant coffees.
In related news, Vietnam National Coffee Corp., the country’s top coffee producer, is reportedly working on an initial public offering (IPO) next year after the government announced initiatives to reduce its involvement in the company, according to Bloomberg.

Re-loving white on white with new suede high-tops and the anytime inclusion of the quilted biker jacket, which I only briefly kept off with the single object of allowing a more unobstructed view of that white uniformity. And that is when I proceeded to freeze until I was reminded of the fun over the shoulder option on some jackets like this. I generally shan't think it very sensible to expose so much white at once in fields of questionable grass, on fluctuating elevation levels, under trees that sporadically dispatch nature stuff from its branches, etc. But only then is the wisdom of white wearers achieved.

This little girl showed very early on in the old comic. IF she’s real at all, or just a figment of Taus’s imagination. Or. Whatever. I will tell you that there’s a side story about her in Book 2 of The Heavenly Bride.
I’ve been watching the new She-ra show, and I’m mildly annoyed because their magickal denizens have colored hair and the world is a mixture of bio and tech. Whiiiich… is Akashik’s world. And sort of was She-ra’s world ages ago, but not like this. They’ve really fleshed it out.
After a good night’s sleep I woke up able to see how the core is alike because that’s the trope, but I’ve got differences. And I shall continue to work on them.

DIY decorating can be fun, but, as we all know, it can be super expensive — especially when you don’t know what you’re doing or haven’t established a personal budget for your project. But, when you have some discipline and take your time to both explore options and manage expectations, it can lead to some awesome results.
As much as you’d like your place to be the sanctuary of your dreams, you might only have a teeny tiny budget that seems near impossible to make a real impact. Well, we’re here to tell you that’s just not true, and, with a few handy dandy DIY decorating tips and tricks, your home life is about to get its own budget friendly Feng Shui.
Lighting is so important when it comes to creating a cozy and comfortable vibe, and if your lamps are emitting harsh light under a boring lampshade, you’re not getting any closer to the warmth your home is craving. Buying a brand new lamp is expensive and, oftentimes, seems to be unnecessary. Do yourself a favor and keep the base, but shop around for a new shade and a bulb that will give off a warmer light. The change in your environment will be instant, and the updated decorating will make you feel much more at home.
Speaking of cost efficient changes that pack a punch, go ahead and give your tired throw pillows new life by investing in new covers. When re-decorating, this is a great opportunity to balance your color scheme and give your home a breath of fresh air. The best part is you can swap them out to whatever fits your mood or the season, which can help your attitude, too. Check out stores like IKEA, Anthropologie, CB3 and Urban Outfitters for fun prints and soothing colors that will give your furniture a rejuvenated look.
Another great trick to DIY decorating is to minimize what you have on display. Don’t worry, we’re not suggesting you get rid of all your keepsakes, just be more selective on what you show off. Clear your table and countertops, and choose two to three things to keep out instead of a bunch of random stuff. The best items are those that have a little weight to them so they can’t be easily knocked over. The rest of your treasures can go in a box until you’re ready to rotate out so things don’t just sit and gather dust. Just remember to stick to the rule of only a few knick knacks at a time to prevent the clutter bug from creeping back into your life.
Nothing makes a living space feel more homey than a little greenery. Plants add life and color, but they also show that you’re capable of caring for another living thing. Just be sure that you seek advice from a professional about recommendations before purchasing, as they can suggest the best home plants that won’t die if not monitored closely. With a little education and research, you can find that perfect foliage to kick up the cool factor of your personal space.
Now go get creative and have some fun. After all, this is your home we’re talking about, and you want it to become your personal sanctuary, while also showing some of your unique character.

If you have a product or a service that you want to get out into the world beyond how far you can shout, then you already know that you need a web page. And if you’re in a competitive market, then you know that just having a great product isn’t going to be enough, you also have to present it in a way that makes sense in the current marketplace. This is the need for a great web design.
And to make this happen, you can follow a few tips, including having a clear page of services offered, using location niches when possible, highlighting reviews of your company, maintaining consistent SEO during the design process, and recognizing that speed matters.
If you go to a lot of websites, it can be initially difficult to tell exactly what the product or service is that’s being offered! To avoid this, always have a clear services offered page. If you have a webpage offering property management services, for example, be sure that every single thing that you do is clearly identified. You’d be amazed at how much of a difference that simple change can make to a website.
With a lot of markets, there can be confusion online because a search for something specific might give you the answers that you want, but in a location that doesn’t make any sense. That’s why, as a web developer, be sure to include the location of your services in all of your posts. Using geolocation tags and phrases will make a big difference when it comes to local web traffic, as many people will eventually include city or region tags in their searches.
Anyone can say anything about anything online when it comes to advertising your own business, but you can get a whole lot more genuine respect if instead of tooting your own horn, you have your clients do it for you. In other words, as you’re developing your site, be sure to highlight customer reviews right on your front page. This will help tremendously when it comes to first impressions.
Consistent search engine optimization processes are going to help your design efforts out as well. All the pretty colors in the world, and all of the fun graphics that you can jam on a page aren’t going to make any difference if people don’t find your page using Google’s search algorithm in the first place. Never underestimate the importance of the solid use of text!
And it can get easy to bog yourself down with graphics and videos as well. But, sometimes too much media can really slow down the browsing process, especially for people on mobile phones. Be sure to take speed into consideration when you’re doing your final web design cuts.

The connection between intimacy, trust and unlimited discovery describes the process of drawing: a dialogue of responses between contemplation and activity, awareness and repose, disclosure and concealment. Recognition and anticipation meet.
In this paper, I aim to discuss what I have called “immersive drawing” drawing that shifts the response-ability of creator and viewer, towards an interfaced, simultaneous and symbiotic relationship of observation and participation.
The dynamics of creator and viewer are relocated, empowering both experiences. Size of the work, materiality, and venue are not conditional elements of this intimate yet expansive practice. Both large-scale installation and small, hand-held works can be immersive. Their mutual aim and ultimate goal is to create a sustaining and ideally, transformational experience that goes beyond the immediate viewing. In fact, time appears to stop, stretch, and collapse simultaneously. Past, present and future are in one breath.
We experience the eternal present. We are ‘in’ the work itself. In a way, we become the work. This paper will then, attempt to explore the experience of how the work works, that is, how it works on us, how it affects us and our perceptions. I propose that we consider drawing as a phenomenological way of being in the world, a philosophical investigation of experience. This is an invitation to consider drawing with expansive, reverberating boundaries, a practice that is continually sustaining, rewarding, and worthy of ongoing pursuit.
To support and illustrate this dynamism, we’ll consider five examples. At first viewing, these works appear to have little in common. The materials, construction and sites seem too diverse and dissimilar to have any connectivity or consistent points of reference. However, in each of these five examples our experience of where we are shifts.
Our definitive boundaries may seem porous and mutable. We feel encompassed, surrounded and included in ways beyond mere observation. We are incorporated into the work, incorporatus, united into one body. I call these works, and the experience of them, ‘immersive’.
The works consume us, putting a new spin on the buzzword ‘consumer’.
To extend the metaphor and pun even further, a new kind of currency is used, a system of exchange and value that transfers, on an ongoing basis, a vital nourishment. These works aid and assist us, acting as reminders to pay attention to who and where we are.
For the most part, I will use examples of works with which I have direct experience. I am an artist, not a critic, nor art historian. My comments and observations are subjective to the highest degree. In one way, this is a much more intimate paper than the norm at a College Art Association conference, where I presented these particular ideas.
In another sense, it also addresses a wider circumference of direct experience than is usual. I am someone who believes in and is sustained by art. To paraphrase poet Audre Lorde, art is necessity not a luxury. It is with this sincerity, passion and trust that I hope my observations and comments will be taken.
lying down completely, in order to see the images clearly. It is literally a space for transformation, a space for procreation, a birthing chamber to reveal and revel in mysteries of the known and unknown worlds.
I also visited to two older caves, 30,000 and 35,000 years old. The images and techniques got simpler as the caves got older. In the cave that was 35,000 the only marks were dots along the wall. Time collapsed as a 35,000-year-old Eva Hesse indicated, “I am here. I was here. I will be here” in the eternal present.
This immersive experience can be felt – flash-forward to 1950 – in the works of Jackson Pollock. We navigate our shifting awareness, back and forth simultaneously.
We look AT the work, a painted canvas mounted on a wall, while being IN the work experientially. It is not only the scale of the painting that is beyond our grasp. It is the immensity of the psychological space of which we are now an integral part.
Lee Krasner said that that there were two key shifts in her perspective, literally and figuratively, when making her own work.4 The first, through the influence and instruction of Hans Hoffman, was Cézanne, and shifting picture planes. The second revolution in her thinking and processes was that of Pollock.
instead surrender to ambiguity, paradox contradiction. There is reciprocity in Pollock’s creating his work — his physicality and all encompassing movements — with how we respond to the work itself.
In Sanskrit, this experience, ‘neti neti,’ ‘not this, not that’ is equally felt from an artist on the diametrically opposite end of Pollock’s materiality, Fred Sandback. However, Sandback himself expressed his interest in the “overall” quality of Pollock.5 It is interesting to note that Sandback’s first degree was a B.A. in philosophy at Yale University.
Fred Sandback uses the simplest of means, these ‘narrowest limits’ for his works. These “habitable drawings”7 as Sandback called them, are made from the most mundane and humblest of materials, acrylic yarn from Wal-Mart.
Sandback himself thought of thread or yarn as being akin to using a pencil. Sandback said of his work, “It’s a very basic way of expressing yourself, which is not too encumbering. I’m lucky to have a medium that allows me to stay light on my feet. It really is like drawing.”8 The impact and experience of Sandback’s work, however shatters all expectations of line, space and perception.
language but by actions and experience. The student is assured, composed and confident, yet energetically and dynamically alive with a fresh and refreshing perception.
This is exactly my experience of a Fred Sandback work. Dynamically and energetically activating the space with a line. The koan of : Everything is revealed but nothing is there! Nothing is concealed, hidden or obscured. We are deceived only by our own preconceived notions of what space should be and do. Sandback makes available to us what is always present all the time. We receive the maximum, sustaining results by use of a most economical appearance. For me, Fred Sandback’s work is within a context of vast, boundlessness and delicate closeness. As close as a breath. And as necessary.
Breathing and movement are as necessary in some drawing practices as they are in dance. The choreographer Twyla Tharp invites a similar expression of being immersed, ofgoing for the maximum, an all-out, no holds barred, experience. In an email with Zee Hartmann, the archival assistant for Tharp Productions, Zee comments that Twyla “does use the word “maximum” in many contexts, always in some way talking about pushing something to its full limit.9 This may be a coda for some of my work, as well.
I am both sustained and challenged by the traditional principles of drawing such as line, shape and perspective. In my installations I aim to dispute and expand upon these accepted and customary guidelines in perplexing, amusing and surprising ways.
My disciplined training with conventional materials is interfaced with the shift and play of two dimensions to three dimensions. For instance, I extend hand drawn lines, shape and volume into, and out of, a room by using electrical tape and foam core.
ideally, dismiss cynicism and encourage engaged wonderment.
Pivotal in an equation of the imaginary is the use of the familiar. In my installation, “Patterns of Love and Beauty” I amplified this illusive dynamic. The work seems to oscillate and visually question the boundaries between objects. For this particular installation at Riverviews Artspace, Lynchburg, VA, I built a three–sided room, 12 feet square, in the center of the gallery, open to the 17-foot ceiling. Tiny black line drawings of fantastical, imaginary plants cover the white painted surfaces of the walls, floor, and all the objects in this faux sitting room including a bureau, shoes, chairs, a long dress, jewelry box, mirror and ‘family photos’. An antique ceiling fan, also painted white with line drawings on it surface and frosted glass globe, hung from the ceiling, into the room.
All surfaces not readily visible, for example, under chairs, tables and inside drawers, were given equal attention with drawing, ensuring the saturation of the experience. My chosen palette of black and white reinforced the impact of dichotomy and paradox. The result is a consideration of familiarity immersed within the unexpected, examining a devotional, interior life, made visible.
The title of the installation, “Patterns of Love and Beauty”, comes from one of the last conversations I had with my father. “It’s all patterns”, he said. I was fearful that it was the morphine talking, replacing his usual acute awareness. Then he continued, “…and the patterns are Love and Beauty. Never forget that, Barbara”.
The piece has since traveled to a number of other institutions. Variations in scale and placement were made to accommodate each new gallery setting. This particular piece is similar in construction to several others I have exhibited. In these works, I created an intentional physicality to the immersive experience: an opportunity and ability to circumnavigate the work.
Previously, I had done extensive research of how people moved, usually unconsciously and automatically, within enclosed spaces, for example, shopping malls and supermarkets. These tendencies assisted my plans for constructing rooms for my installations within gallery and museum spaces for my installations.
My space planning and traffic flow studies indicated an internal, almost innate clockwise motion was the most natural, and therefore most used, for interior building plans. Similarly, the act of circumambulation has been part of my extensive studies of Buddhist temples and sites.
We are ‘in’ the work as we encircle it. By physically encompassing the work, the relationship of being in the work and surrounding it is simultaneous. Similar to Japanese tea ceremony, the intimacy of host and guest exchange their roles and psychological positions. They remain interdependent and equal.
of a point of view, is contemplated and challenged both visually and philosophically.
There are many different systems and processes of creating, manipulating and experiencing space and illusion. There are numerous methodologies and avenues of navigating the intimacy of space and the awareness of what surrounds us. Navigating a sacred geometry of HOW to perceive invites an attention of the mind. How can the mind be aware of itself perceiving itself? Can we find a route that allows us to survey the illusion and spaciousness of the mind?
I began this paper by aiming to address visually immersive experiences that shift our awareness, inviting us to be awake. Some of the forms of the final visual system I wish to address are as old as some of the Paleolithic images with which I began this text. Its presence is as layered as Pollock and as profound as Sandback.
hindrances, its schemes, and its unconscious tendencies that thwart true seeing. This is the purpose of a mandala. There are different kinds of mandalas: on walls, with pigment (that are ‘erased’ and removed) the body as a mandala, and a fifth kind of mandala, the mandala of the mind.
The same circumstances that are required of immersive experiences, the awareness of fragility impermanence, the dance of stability and instability are contained in the process of making and experiencing and dismantling mandalas. The Tibetan mandala is a tool and generally is depicted as a tightly balanced, geometric composition with four entrances or gates. Although it is flat, it is perceived as a three dimensional palace. Sand mandalas are unique to Tibetan Buddhism. The detailed drawings are from memory.
A simple definition of the purpose of a mandala is to help transform ordinary minds into enlightened ones. Is this not a similar invitation to viewing, experiencing and making art? Its aim and challenge is to simultaneously consume and heighten our attention, to transform our perception to reveal to what is already there, and be awed.
The five examples indicated in this paper demonstrate similar intentionality but with a striking difference in visual interpretation of sensation, devotion, and wonder. The intentionality of the work and its reception are interdependent, reciprocal and limitless. The works encompass us, and we are absorbed into their world-view.
Drawing becomes a “joint product of the observer and the observed” 10 as Teilhard de Chardin stated was the condition of the universe. In all deference to de Chardin, I would slightly alter the subject from “joint product” to “joint project.” That is, that drawing is ongoing, with a goal as simple, profound and direct as making a line.

Sir Alan Stanford’s bank collapsed triggering international claims on any assets that were left over. In a complex action between liquidators, the SFO and the American authorities, Andrew Mitchell QC and Christopher Convey acted in restraint proceedings and the multi-party appeal.
The centre of main interest of a company, for the purposes of recognition of a foreign main proceeding in cross-border insolvency proceedings, was to be identified by reference to factors which were both objective and ascertainable by third parties, not by applying the head office functions test.
In complex cross-border insolvency proceedings arising from alleged fraud where an application for a restraint order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 was involved with issues arising in related civil litigation, it was important that in the jurisdiction committed to the Crown Court under the 2002 Act suitable judicial expertise was matched to the needs of the cases concerned and that restraint order applications and associated litigation were managed in a co-ordinated manner.
The Court of Appeal so held (1) dismissing the appeal from the order of Lewison J EWHC 1441 (Ch) made on 3 July 2009 whereby, on recognition applications made (i) by Ralph Steven Janvey, the United States receiver of Stanford International Bank Ltd (“SIB”) and (ii) by Peter Nicholas Wastell and Nigel John Hamilton-Smith, the Antiguan liquidators of SIB, he had granted recognition to the Antiguan liquidators as the foreign main proceeding as defined in art 2(g) of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency and dismissed the US receiver’s application, on the basis that the liquidators’ proceedings rather than the receiver’s were the foreign main proceedings; and (2) (Arden LJ dissenting) allowing the appeal of the US receiver (pursuant to permission granted on 31 July 2009 by Rix LJ) against the refusal of Judge Kramer QC on 29 July 2009 at the Central Criminal Court to discharge or vary a restraint order which he had made on 7 April 2009 against those named in a letter of request under art 8 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (External Requests and Orders) Order 2005, setting aside the restraint order on grounds of material misrepresentation and non-disclosure by the Serious Fraud Office (“SFO”) but re-granting a restraint order with effect from 29 July 2009.

CHM Hiding in the Pub to Cutting the Cord?
A film giving more details about this public engagement project which took place between October 2011 and September 2012.
'Hiding in the Pub to Cutting the Cord' was a research project examining the ways in which men have been involved in childbirth over the last half century. Nowadays, it is estimated that over 90 per cent of dads are there to witness this major event, but in the 1950s, it was considered 'unmanly' for men to be there. Who was there when you were born? And who helped welcome your child into the world?
This project took place at the Centre for the History of Medicine, University of Warwick, and was conducted by Dr Laura King. The aim of the research was to uncover why such a dramatic change took place; what implications this had for fathers, mothers and babies, and the relationships between them; and the ways in which hospital policy and social attitudes influenced people's behaviour. Key aspects of this research included interviews with midwives and a study of changing hospital procedures; analysis of what men have done at the time of birth - whether that be escaping to the golf course or acting as a birthing coach; and the various representations of this momentous event in popular culture, from Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em to Smithy in Gavin and Stacey. Has this shift in levels of attendance been caused by changes in the marital relationship or attitudes to fatherhood? How has the rise in the number of births taking place in hospitals rather than the home affected families' experiences? And what do men feel about their roles during the birth itself?
This project included a number of public events, including a production at Warwick Arts Centre, a documentary film, poetry workshops, an exhibition at the Coventry Mysteries and a conference for policy-makers, those working with parents in a professional context, and researchers.
Laura King is now continuing this research in a new post at the University of Leeds.

UNITED NATIONS A Saudi Arabia-led military campaign in Yemen violated international humanitarian law with a so-called "double tap" air strike on a funeral gathering in the rebel-held capital Sanaa, United Nations sanctions monitors told the Security Council.The U.N. monitors said there were two air strikes in quick succession on the October 8 funeral, which was attended by many top political and security figures from the Iran-allied Houthi rebels and forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.In an October 17 report, seen by Reuters, the monitors said they found "in respect of the second air strike, that the Saudi Arabia-led coalition violated its obligations in respect of hors de combat and the wounded in this 'double tap' attack."Under international humanitarian law, attacks are prohibited against hors de combat - fighters incapable of defending themselves - the wounded, and medical personnel and units.The Saudi Arabia mission to the United Nations was not immediately available to comment on the U.N. report. An investigative body set up by the coalition said on Saturday that the attack was based incorrect information.The U.N. has said some 140 people were killed in the attack on the funeral and several hundred more were injured.
"The second air strike, which occurred three to eight minutes after the first air strike, almost certainly resulted in more casualties to the already wounded and the first responders," the U.N. monitors said."These first responders included civilians who immediately entered the area after the first air strike to provide urgent first aid and undertake casualty evacuation," the report said.The monitors recommended that the Security Council consider asking members of the Saudi-led coalition to stop using "double tap" attacks. The coalition includes Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Senegal and Sudan.
The U.N. monitors found that the Saudi-led coalition "did not take effective precautionary measures to minimize harm to civilians, including first responders, in the second strike."Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Monday that Riyadh was being careful to abide by humanitarian law and that those responsible for the funeral bombing would be punished and the victims would be compensated.The coalition has been fighting Houthi rebels and forces loyal to Saleh in Yemen since March 2015 to try to restore to power the internationally backed President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who has fled into exile.

Over 130 exclusive shops, boutiques, art galleries and restaurants surround a large European-style roundabout with a park in the middle.
Charles St. Amand, a French pioneer, purchased a Florida mangrove island located just west of the fishing village of Sarasota in 1893. The three tracts of land totaled about 131 acres. St. Amand settled in this area where he fished in the surrounding waters and raised produce. Land deeds later misspelled his name as “Armand” and the name eventually stuck. The island is today called St. Armands Key.

According to The Australian, Scentre unveiled the $475 million redevelopment of Westfield Miranda, completing the first major development for the group since it was spun out of Westfield.
Scentre chief executive Peter Allen and Dexus boss Darren Steinberg were joined by the “face” of the centre, model and aspiring singer Cheyenne Tozzi, to cut the ribbon for the new mall’s extension.
The redevelopment was undertaken by joint owner of the centre with the Dexus Wholesale Property Fund.
The extension has added 19,000 square metres and 100 new retail outlets to the centre, now totalling 127,000 square metres. However, many of the stores only plan to open from early next year.
“Westfield Miranda is the blueprint for our future redevelopments,” Mr Allen told The Australian.
Scentre has identified $3 billion worth of development projects across 12 centres in Australia and three in New Zealand.
In September the mall owner unveiled its near-complete $400 million redevelopment of Westfield Garden City in Upper Mount Gravatt, Brisbane. The group’s next project will be the $450 million expansion of Westfield Knox in Melbourne’s outer-east, expected to start in 2016 and will be opened in stages from 2017.
CLSA analyst Sholto Maconochie predicts Scentre will spend $538 million per annum over the next six years including projects it will develop for other mall owners.
However, following Scentre’s $929 million deal with GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, to sell half-stakes in five of its New Zealand centres with a combined gross value of $2.3 billion.
Macquarie analyst Paul Checchin warned that the company still lacked the balance sheet capacity to fund its development pipeline without selling off more of its malls.
Mr Allen told the Sydney Morning Herald that a strategic focus of Scentre Group is the introduction of joint-venture partners into some of our wholly owned assets, with the capital proceeds available for redeployment into the development pipeline and the repayment of debt.
This strategy is also expected to be employed in Australia in the coming year across its 42 malls, including Westfield Miranda.

You can be a leaf on the wind, too, with this elegant key chain that can also be worn as a pendant from QMx.
Measuring 1,6 cm from reactor to bridge, the world’s tiniest Firefly is cast in pewter-finish metal and sits atop a bronze-finish metal leaf, itself measuring just under 5 cm.
The Leaf on the Wind pendant comes attached to a heavy-duty bronze-finish key chain, which can be removed with needle-nose pliers.
A black cord necklace (included) can be used to wear the pendant – or you can use your own necklace, if you prefer.

I need to reseal a shower tray that has previously been sealed with silicone which is now coming away in parts.
My question is: Will silicone stick to silicone or does it all have to be removed first?
The real enemy here is not the existing silicone but any water that is in the gap. Existing silicone should be removed where possible, and the new seal should not be applied until the area is completely dry. Although silicone is totally waterproof when set, and will adhere to almost any dry surface, it will not stick at all to a wet area.

On February 23, 2012 the Metro Atlanta Chamber hosted a reception honoring Atlanta's sustainability leadership at their impressive offices on the edge of Olympic Centennial Park. The view from the reception area was spectacular.
As an event sponsor, the American Sustainable BusinessCouncil orchestrated the successful event along with assistance from the Chamber and other sponsors. After a warm welcome by Jorge Fernandez, Metro Chamber VP Global Commerce, Richard Eidlin, ASBC Director - Campaigns & Business Engagements, served as the program Master of Ceremonies.
Speakers ranged from solar power pioneer Peter Marte of Hannah Solar Power to Suzanne Burnes, Sustainable Atlanta Executive Director, to Robert Newcomer, Chair of the Green Chamber of the South, an event sponsor. Frank Knapp of the SC SmallBusiness Chamber of Commerce gave a regional perspective of sustainability's vital role in economic growth and stability. Emphasizing their focus on refurbishing electronics for reuse, Matt McLaughlin represented event sponsor Electronic Recyclers International.
Richard introduced Elemental Impact founder Holly Elmore as "the most colorful was saved for last." Holly's podium time was dedicated to Atlanta's role in building templates for sustainable operating practices to implement across the nation and globe. First with the Zero Waste Zones launched in 2009 followed by the Sustainable Food Court Initiative Pilot at the Atlanta Airport, Atlanta takes a pronounced leadership role in mobilizing the corporate community into sustainable ACTION.
An overview was given of the monumental compostable packaging provision included in the airport concession contracts awarded in early January. See the ZWA Blog post, Atlanta Airport Makes Bold Sustainable Statement, for details on the contract provision.
The Ei FB album, 02-23-12 Atlanta Sustainability Reception, gives the pictorial recap of the event.
With serendipity at play, the ZWZ Two-Year Anniversary was exactly one year earlier across Centennial Park at The World of Coca-Cola. Many of the press conference attendees were at the Metro Chamber event. The ZWA Blog post, ZWZ Garners National Support, gives an overview of the press conference.
It was a lovely evening and celebration of Atlanta's pioneering spirit.

I never used it for hard shootouts. I just vlog by mounting it in my chinstrap. Nothing more. The device heats well and my battery pulling probe too peeled off. Apart front this the insulation also started to peel that shows its less weathering capacity and quality.

Liposuction and Coolsculpting are some of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed by Dr. Michael Wolfeld. Dieting and exercise can slim and tone your body but there still may be some areas that are resistant to all of your hard work. Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the process of removing unwanted fat from specific areas of the body. The most common treatment areas include the upper outer thigh area known as “saddlebags”, the abdomen, the flanks or “love handles”. Other treatment areas include facial/neck fat, (“double chins”), hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, arms and ankles. For men, liposuction can be used to correct gynecomastia (enlarged breasts). While no method of liposuction is a substitute for good nutrition and physical exercise, stubborn areas of fat that won’t respond to traditional weight loss methods can be removed with liposuction. Dr. Wolfeld can discuss your individual areas of concern and formulate a treatment plan to get you looking better than ever.
Liposuction is an outpatient procedure that usually lasts from one to three hours, depending upon the amount of fat to be removed. If only a small amount of fat and a limited number of body sites are involved, liposuction can often be performed under local anesthesia, which numbs only the affected areas. A general anesthesia will be used for more extensive procedures or when it is performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures. Liposuction is performed by using a hand-held instrument (called a cannula) to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. By pushing and pulling the cannula, the fat cells are broken up and then sucked out with a vacuum. While fat is removed by suctioning fat through small tunnels, the skin remains connected to the underlying muscles. This helps preserve the nerves and blood vessels supplying the skin and also helps to decrease the laxity of the skin. Dr. Wolfeld is also careful to leave a thin blanket of fat attached to the skin to prevent the cannula from getting too close to the skin and thus avoiding excessive rippling or other irregularities.
Tumescent Liposuction, a technique in which a medicated solution is injected into fatty areas before the fat is removed, is commonly used by Dr. Wolfeld for his liposuction patients. The fluid -- a mixture of intravenous salt solution, lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine (a drug that contracts blood vessels) - facilitates fat removal, reduces blood loss and provides anesthesia during and after surgery. Fluid injection also helps to reduce the amount of bruising after surgery.
Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty: This technique utilizes sound waves to break up fat deposits. A special cannula is used which is connected to an ultrasonic generator. As the is passed through the tissues, fat cells are ruptured, releasing their contents. The liquefied fatty emulsion is then removed. UAL improves the ease and effectiveness of liposuction in fibrous areas of the body, such as the upper back or the enlarged male breast. It is also commonly used in secondary procedures, when scar tissue is present and when enhanced precision is needed. In general, takes a little longer to perform than traditional liposuction.
The skin overlying the areas of liposuction may be numb or sensitive for several weeks. Bruising and swelling commonly occur as well. A compression garment is worn for 4-6 weeks to assist the healing process. Visible changes are immediately noticeable. Contour improvements delight patients and are generally permanent. A private consultation with cosmetic surgeon Dr. Wolfeld, is the best way to obtain the answers to specific questions regarding a liposuction procedure. The results can be life changing, and that is one of the reasons Dr. Wolfeld enjoys performing this procedure.
If you would like to discuss your liposuction/abdominoplasty procedure witih Dr. Wolfeld, you may schedule a private consultation at one of our offices in New York City, White Plains NY, or Hackensack NJ.
We have both phone and online appointment requests available.

Washington, D.C. – On September 19, 2017, Freedom Now and lawyers with the international law firm King & Spalding LLP, filed a petition with the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention of behalf of Nguyen Huu Quoc Duy. Freedom Now hopes to obtain an opinion from the UN Working Group that the Government of Vietnam’s detention of the online activist is in violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Prior to his arrest, Mr. Nguyen graduated from college with a degree in education and worked with his mother at a market. He was active on social media, specifically Facebook, on which he made statements and reposted articles criticizing governmental corruption, acts of police violence, and deficiencies in the local educational system on his personal Facebook page.
Mr. Nguyen was arrested on August 28, 2015, the same day as police arrested his cousin Nguyen Huu Thien An, an active member of a youth movement, who was apprehended spray painting an anti-government slogan on the side of a police station. Mr. Nguyen is not a member of the youth movement, but was arrested regardless and released three days later. Almost immediately upon his release, Mr. Nguyen posted on Facebook calling for the release of his cousin.
Mr. Nguyen was arrested again on November 21, 2015 and held incommunicado for nine months during which time he was not able to communicate with his family or a lawyer of his choosing.
Mr. Nguyen’s family hired two domestic lawyers to represent him, however the prosecutor’s office replaced these lawyers with government-selected counsel. The trial which was held on August 23, 2016 was closed to the public. Mr. Nguyen’s family attempted to attend the trial, but police at the courthouse denied the family’s entry by claiming that the family lacked an invitation from the court. Mr. Nguyen’s mother had her phone taken away after attempting to record the scene and was forcibly removed from the courthouse and taken to a local commune police station until the trial was over. Eleven activists attempted to travel from Ho Chi Minh City to attend the trial, but were detained by police en route.
Mr. Nguyen was convicted under article 88 of the penal code for spreading anti-government propaganda and sentenced to three years in prison. According to state media’s description of the trial, Mr. Nguyen had posted articles that distorted the policies of the Communist Party and had called for the overthrow of the government. The judge was quoted as saying that his actions were very serious and had damaged confidence in the leadership of the Communist party and hurt social order.
Following the trial, Mr. Nguyen was immediately placed in a solitary cell. His mother was unable to visit him until February 2017—15 months after his initial arrest.

Trump’s family-separation policy is unconstitutional. It’s time for the courts to award damages.
The courts must award damages to families torn apart by the policy.
A woman who identified herself as Jennifer sits with her son Jaydan at the Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center after recently crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday in McAllen, Texas.
Now that President Trump has issued an executive order that may perhaps end his administration’s policy of family separation, there are still many outstanding questions: What happens to new families entering the United States? Will there be a Separation 2.0, just like there was a Travel Ban 2.0? And most distressingly, what happens to the children who have already been separated from their parents?
While there aren’t clear answers to these questions, there are some clear answers about the legal rights of those parents seeking to reunite with their children. This policy was unconstitutional, and the parents can seek damages and injunctive relief, meaning a court can block a new separation policy and order the federal government to move heaven and earth to reunite these families. Trump officials had emphasized zero tolerance and deterrence to rationalize this brutal policy. Now it is time for courts to have zero tolerance for this administration’s constitutional violations and to award damages to deter future violations.
First of all, the 14th Amendment applies to every “person,” not just citizens: “No state shall … deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” The Supreme Court made that clear in 2001’s Zadvydas v. Davis, when it ruled that an alien’s detention would be considered illegal if it violated the Constitution.
The Supreme Court has held repeatedly that disproportionate punishments violate the Eighth Amendment.
Removing children from parents without due process is a constitutional violation under two Supreme Court cases: 1971’s Stanley v. Illinois and 1982’s Santosky v. Kramer. In both cases, the court held that parents have a constitutional right to the care and custody of their children under the 14th Amendment. This includes the right to due process if children are removed from their care.
Stanley centered on a man, Peter Stanley, who had been deprived of parental rights to his three children on the grounds that he was an unwed father and therefore unfit. The Supreme Court reversed the lower court’s ruling, holding that the father was entitled to a hearing on his fitness as a parent before his children could be taken from him. Moreover, the Supreme Court held, the state may not presume that a particular class of parents, such as unwed fathers, is unfit. Parental fitness must be established on the basis of individualized proof.
In Santosky, the Supreme Court considered the standard of proof required before parents could be deprived of the right to the care and custody of their children. The court held that the fundamental liberty interest of natural parents in the care and custody and management of their children, as protected by the 14th Amendment, does not evaporate simply because they have not been model parents or because they have lost temporary custody of their children to the state. For the separation to be more than temporary, the government must prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that the risk to a child of abuse or neglect in the parent’s care outweighs a parent’s right to care for his or her own child.
Parents thus do not lose their rights to due process under the 14th Amendment because they have been jailed or arrested. Unless she is declared unfit in a fair hearing, a parent who is arrested has the right to designate a caretaker or appoint a guardian. Federal laws governing funding for adoptions provide that if a child is in foster care for 15 of the past 22 months because of parental incarceration, the state can petition for parental rights to be terminated so the child can be freed for adoption. This is done in a court of law, following the law and procedures for fundamental fairness. The Trump administration did not follow these processes in rolling out its child-separation policy.
There is a fundamental problem with the Trump administration labeling people “criminals” before any sort of adjudication. Separation of powers forbids law enforcement from making determinations of guilt. Therefore, any attempt to punish people for a crime prior to adjudication violates the separation-of-powers doctrine and due process.
But even if parents and children are guilty of misdemeanors, the Eighth Amendment prohibits the infliction of “cruel and unusual punishment,” and it too applies to all “persons.” Trump administration officials have emphasized that the policy of family separation is a punishment designed as a deterrent. But the “crime” of illegal entry is a nonviolent misdemeanor. The administration decided that mere arrest for that misdemeanor was cause for family separation with a significant chance of no reunification.
The Supreme Court has held repeatedly that disproportionate punishments violate the Eighth Amendment. In 1983, the court held that the standard for proportionality is: “(i) the gravity of the offense and the harshness of the penalty; (ii) the sentences imposed on other criminals in the same jurisdiction … and (iii) the sentences imposed for commission of the same crime in other jurisdictions.” The harshness of family separation is obviously more grave than the misdemeanor of illegal entry and flagrantly more severe than the punishment administered for other kinds of trespass or administered by past administrations.
The government can sometimes justify such policies despite constitutional concerns, but only if there is a “compelling state interest” and if the policy is “narrowly tailored.” The practice of past administrations—which used GPS-monitoring bracelets instead of detention—showed a less restrictive alternative, one that still allowed the federal government to enforce the law as asylum claims were processed.
There is a significant state interest in border security, but if Congress made illegal entry only a misdemeanor, it would tell us that state interest isn’t sufficiently compelling to mandate any kind of harsh punishment. Moreover, it’s not clear that many of these entries should be considered “illegal,” as asylum-seekers initially tried to follow the law by entering at proper ports of entry but were refused or, due to inadequate staffing, were stuck waiting at the border without food, water, or shelter. Necessity is a defense in criminal law, especially in the context of minor crimes.
When the government violates constitutional rights, the Supreme Court has recognized that compensation can be a remedy for damages. But money is not going to make these families whole, and it is not what these parents are seeking. Courts have the power to issue injunctions ordering the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to reunite these families. The Trump administration violated the parents’ fundamental rights to care for their children, and violated the children’s fundamental rights too.
John Kelly and Jeff Sessions were wrong to believe that the government’s child-separation policy would be an effective deterrent: Family separation might still be a risk worth taking when a family faces human rights abuses and murder in Central America. But deterrence can work against government officials with budgets and reputations to protect. Judges should make sure the Trump administration may not try this again by other means and must commit every available resource to remedying their harms and undoing the damage they’ve caused to these families.

guest article by Barrie Carlsen, President at Vitex Nutrition, Ltd.
Is organic healthier than regular food?
Pollen good for bees, but do humans benefit?
'Happy cows:' do they produce healthier meat?
Are organic eggs worth the extra cost?
An egg is an egg, right? Wrong! Eggs are getting smarter it seems, and consumers now have choices to make when they buy eggs and I’m not talking about small, medium or large.
Nasty portulaca shows a positive side: who knew?

The 36th Annual MET Team Championship was held on Monday, September 26th at The Country Club of Scranton in Clarks Summit, PA. For the fourth time in the past 12 years, the PAGCS team came away victorious after narrowly beating Connecticut GCSA by just one stroke with a score of 292! The team from Philadelphia included John Gosselin, Andy Drohen, Joe Owsik and Chet Walsh on the Gross side and Rich Sweeney, Jon Urbanski, Sumner Cross and Rob Nolek on the Net side. The PAGCS would like to recognize Lawn & Golf Supply for sponsoring this year’s PAGCS MET team! Many thanks!
This year’s championship was one of the closest battles ever contested, with just six shots separating the top five teams! Once again the MET Team Championship was made possible by seven major sponsors who have stepped up year after year to make this one of the best events across North America: Aquatrols, BASF, Bayer, Care of Trees, Koch Turf & Ornamental, Syngenta and Toro as they continue to support this event.
The Met Team Championship continues to raise money each year to help those in our industry going through difficult times. Over the past 6 years, the tournament has raised over $7,500 and has supported superintendents, industry representatives and their families in times of need. This past year, $2,000 was donated to the superintendents at The Greenbrier in West Virginia after the devastating flooding that took place there this summer.
Thanks again to all sponsors, as well as Greg Boring and his entire staff and all the folks at The Country Club of Scranton for another successful championship! Host Greg Boring, who recently took on the role of General Manager on top of his Superintendent duties had the golf course in absolutely spectacular shape after one of the driest and hottest seasons on record in the Northeast.
In an effort to help the future of golf, PAGCS members donated their time and resources on Monday, October 3rd, to run the graden on the greens at Walnut Lane GC. Coordinated by Bill Corcoran, PAGCS Board member, the work was initially planned to span two days. Courtesy of the donations of PAGCS members, both in terms of time and product, the project was completed in less than one full day.

Today we explore another option for optimization in the JIT. We will see how it presents an alternative that also allows to make LSTM backwards fast, but tries to be smarter about the bookkeeping aspects.
When you use the PyTorch JIT with TorchScript, you write Python, but the JIT will see how to get things to run fast. This happens in two stages: First, the JIT converts the TorchScript (i.e. Python) code to a graph that more or less literally represents your Python code. For your torch.jit.scripted function fn, you can get this graph with fn.graph (and fn.graph.pretty_print() will give you a TorchScript-like representation). If this is the parsing stage, there is a second compilation phase, in which the graph is transformed. This happens when you run the function, say with a, b, c as arguments. You can see the graph that was created and run withfn.graph_for(a, b, c).1 As you might expect from the interface, different arguments might lead to different graphs being executed. And this is exactly what we want to look at.
Given that the JIT is a Just-in-Time Compiler, one of the key aspects is when to compile anew and when to use a cached compilation result. Whether or not two tensors look the same for this purpose is captured in the ArgumentSpec structure. At the time of writing, the criteria are the scalar type, whether a tensor is defined, the device, and the number of dimensions. These are then captured in the DimensionedTensorType JIT type. A special case are undefined tensors - which are a "special zero" in the context of backward passes where a differentiable output tensor does not get a gradient because it is not connected to the loss that is differentiated. Now, one difficult problem is what to do with structured data types. The PyTorch JIT will look into tuples for that purpose, but not into lists much. As making this decision is in the critical path - it happens on every invocation of the function - it has to be fast. So the PyTorch JIT encodes the analysis based on the graph inputs (once) and then executes the encoded analysis to get a graph specialization (along with a hash code for fast lookups). This is done in the ArgumentSpecCreator defined just below ArgumentSpec and implemented nearby.
So how can we use this specialization step for optimization? One thing we can do - and I proposed this in a PR currently under review - is to specialize inputs of formal type Optional[T] to either T (or a DimensionedTensorType for Optional[Tensor]) or None, depending on whether they are given. This allows us to statically prune if t is None:-branches. This optimization is interesting, not as much because it allows to skip the if evaluation in execution, but because it allows to reduce the number of blocks (e.g. the "if" and "else" branches in the if statement). There are optimizations, notably the fuser compiling custom cuda kernels, that work only within a single block, but not across them. So if we can eliminate the if, we can put the block we need into the main graph and fuse things in formerly the branch and things in the main program.
We do not know the exact shapes at compilation time, so we do not know beforehand whether broadcasting will happen. But - and this is the crucial observation - it is the broadcasting in the forward pass of a network that causes grad_sum_to_size to exist in the backward. But this means that if we have a way to signal "no broadcasting happened in the forward" to the backward in a way that changes the argument spec of the backward (so that the backward gets its own set of optimizations compared to when broadcasting happened), we can just eliminate those grad_sum_to_size operations we know have no effect. What we thus do is to just make the target shape an Optional[List[int]] and return None if no broadcasting happened. If we then specialize that Optional to None in the argument specification, we can just remove the grad_sum_to_size it feeds into. This is done in a second PR - which is remarkably small if you subtract the preparatory argument specialization PR above.
Another very simple optimization affected another issue of broadcasting: As fused kernels typically combine relatively simple arithmetic operations, the execution time is dominated by the memory accesses rather than the computation itself. When analyzing the speed of a point-wise operation kernel from a fusion-enabled batch-norm, I noticed that it was much slower than the batch-norm kernel. After spending quite a bit of time looking at the cause (and experimentally redoing the indexing to minimize the number of integer division/modulo operations), I found that explicitly telling NVRTC to load the values into the read-only cache helps a great deal. In hindsight, this is understandably so - the batch-norm kernel minimizes the reads of the broadcasted mean and variance, weight and bias tensors, so at least caching helps. It turned out to be a two-line patch that has been added to PyTorch.
In the future, it might be useful to use the cache more efficiently by only caching broadcasted tensors. This would require to emit code that varies depending on which tensors are broadcasted. One would have to add a corresponding flag to the fuser's argument specification (that works similarly to that for graphs, but is separate). On the other hand, one might use the above indexing (that is uniform over all tensors and also used in PyTorch's TensorIterator framework underlying many pointwise and reducing operations), instead of distinguishing contractible dimensions for all tensors separately.
So we found a couple of not terribly complicated optimizations. While the removal of grad_sum_to_size is a less generic than the rearrangement from the last blog post, it covers many important cases like the LSTM. The optimizations get very good performance for some of the most common neural network operations, bringing JITed Python code's performance very close to that of hand-optimized CUDA kernels.

Wiseman, Natalie (2016) Modeling Urban Form in City Simulations. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
One way of planning for a region's future transportation infrastructure and capacity needs is to forecast travel demand. Integrated land use-transportation modeling tools do this in a way that is sensitive to how the performance of a transportation system affects peoples' decisions of where to live and firms' decisions of where to locate. As such, they are helpful tools for analyzing different transportation and land use policy scenarios. The transportation system is a factor in how new urban areas develop. Policies attempt to regulate dispersed urban development, known as urban sprawl, however integrated modeling frameworks can only evaluate those policies that affect the extent of non-urban land legislated as developable, or those within urban areas.
Incorporating other policies relating to sprawl into integrated models is limited by their ability to represent geometric changes to the landscape; those associated with the transition of non-urban land to residential use. Building on current methods for representing geometric landscape changes, this thesis is about models and algorithms for representing the specific forms these changes can take. There are a number of algorithms, taking distinct approaches to subdividing blocks into parcels and generating roads, suggesting different algorithms are better for generating different forms. There is little guidance on when to use which algorithm, potentially resulting in sub-optimal geometric representation of future urban areas.
This thesis outlines a process for representing the spatial distribution of urban form in future urban areas within integrated models. To this end, it has estimated a model for predicting the spatial distribution of road network patterns in future residential neighborhoods and identified the block subdivision algorithm most suited to subdividing each of the possible road network patterns. Results can serve as guidelines for deciding which algorithms to use on which road network types. They also present a possible way of estimating the type of future road network in a local area as a function of slope of terrain, period of development, proximity to a river and adjacency to a road network of the same type, among others. This knowledge could help improve the accuracy of population predictions and potentially be implemented within the modeling process of integrated models once these are better able to represent geometric changes to the landscape.

This year I began a new Christmas tradition that I hoped would help me slow down and live into each moment of this holiday season. This was JUST the thing! Raised a Methodist, I have seen season after season of Advent wreath lightings in church services around Christmas time. I never knew that the tradition could be used as a personal ritual in preparation for Christ’s birth!
Most of my friends had never heard of an Advent wreath before I undertook this four-week spiritual journey. If you are like them, you’re in luck! I will gladly explain it to you.
An advent wreath is a circle of candles in a wreath of evergreen, coming from German tradition. Each candle has a specific symbolism, and typical Methodist wreaths include three purple candles, one pink candle, and one central white “Christ” candle. As celebrated in the churches I have visited, one candle is lit for each of the four weeks leading up to Christmas, to symbolize our preparation for Christ’s coming. The Christ candle is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. If you’d like to learn more about Advent as celebrated in the Methodist church, click here!
I was first inspired by the adult leader of the meditation bible study I attend at the Denton Wesley Foundation to begin a mindfulness practice for the upcoming Christmas season. I wanted to spend the season being PRESENT, living each moment to the fullest and not waking up at the end feeling as though I missed the point of everything. We discussed various ritual practices that can help us live the holidays spiritually, and doing a daily advent wreath called to me.
I rushed to the Hobby Lobby (I am their most loyal customer) and fought the busy crowds in the floral aisles to find a brass Advent wreath base (no idea they sold these!!), greenery, little pinecone accents, and of course candles (which they also sold in an Advent set. Who knew??). After much bending and fluffing, I came up with a pretty acceptable-looking wreath. Side note: I used to think that wreath and garland making would be a nice hobby for me to add to my crafter’s portfolio… now I am just not so sure. First, because I have realized that each little element that goes on a wreath costs 3-4 dollars apiece! And second, I sadly don’t think I have an eye for plant decorating, fake or otherwise. Sigh. Oh well! My advent wreath is pretty enough and functional enough to serve its purpose beautifully.
Anyway, after my little wreath was made, I composed a four week study plan in my journal with a theme for each week that I chose. My four candles represented Hope, Purity, Joy, and Expectation! I used plenty of the resources here to find applicable scriptures to read, prayers to pray, and little meditations to study.
I also divided my usual Christmas traditions across the four weeks, according to theme. For the Hope week I planned to write and send my usual Christmas cards and put up Christmas lights inside and out– two activities that really send and speak hope in my eyes. For Purity, I decided to clean out closets and donate items, as well as evaluating the highlights of my life for the past year and my old New Year’s resolutions– out with the old! For Joy, I planned to sing carols with loved ones, watch Christmas movies, and bake goodies. For Expectation, I re-imagined the nativity scene and planned to create an art journal page celebrating the return of the sun (after Winter Solstice). This way, I did all of my usual traditional activities mindfully and spiritually.
And each night, I sat in the dark with my journal, Bible, and my little Advent wreath, to light a candle or two and meditate on the coming of the light.
Nearing the end of this holiday season, many friends have commented on “how fast it’s gone by” for them, but I happily don’t feel that way this year! The nightly study and mindful actions kept me grounded and slowed down the days for me. I consider it a rousing success! I can’t wait to see what new ways I will find to celebrate Christmas next year.
I hope that all of you have had a beautiful Christmas season, and that you enter the new year with mindfulness and joy.
A few of my favorite pages exploring being PRESENT and other mindfulness practices are below! Enjoy!

When we talk about bladder and bowel conditions, we tend to only think of the physical symptoms that happen to our bodies. If we visit a doctor we may only mention the pain, discomfort or urgency that is going on in that one particular area. What we probably won’t do is talk about the mental pain and anguish that goes alongside living with a bladder or bowel disorder. The feelings of isolation or the fear of being outside of our comfort zone due to the risk of an accident. The pain that is going on inside our heads is just as important as the pain in our bodies and it is vital that people start opening up and talking about how these illnesses make us feel.
So I will start first… Four years ago, almost to the day actually, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. I was both thunderstruck and relieved after months of going back and forth to my GP and being told there was nothing wrong with me. The treatment I underwent was truly awful, the surgeries painful and life changing, leaving with me with a permanent colostomy bag and the chemotherapy treatments leaving me physically weak and sick. Although the treatment was hard on my body, it was the impact that it had on my mind that hit me harder. I went from being an independent and fairly confident although quiet young woman to being constantly nervous and anxious, relying on my husband to be around as I would get scared that I would get ill if I was out by myself. Simple tasks like showering would leave me exhausted and this is turn would cause panic attacks and it became a vicious cycle of associating getting ready with having panic attacks.
After my treatment, I grew in physical strength but my anxieties didn’t leave me, they just changed. Scans were now a very stressful time and I panicked about the cancer returning and I was very self conscious of my new patchwork body and managing the fact that I no longer had control over my bowel. Over the year, I worked hard to get back to ‘normal’ and built up my freelance business and signed up with a personal trainer to help me get my physical strength back, which in turn helped to boost my confidence and lessen my anxiety.
I then got the news that I hoped I would never get and found out that my cancer had returned and had spread to my lung. I was told I was incurable. My kidneys had also failed and in order to go back on to chemotherapy I also had to start haemodialysis; this broke me completely.
I was thrown back into two really aggressive treatments and with it returned my anxiety and this time an even darker cloud. I felt really out of control as there wasn’t a definitive treatment plan this time, it was about keeping me alive. The darkness would have me researching my own funeral, which would cause me to break down. The constant not knowing what was going to happen would cause panic attacks. I became even more withdrawn than the first time around. My life was divided between my home and the hospital, I couldn’t even go to the supermarket by myself as I would feel overwhelmed and confused in large crowds. Dialysis would leave me feeling trapped, attached to a machine several times a week, I would cry and panic and my depression became even more entrenched. I wondered what the point in anything was and would have days where I wouldn’t even get dressed and just sit all day like a zombie.
After a year of chemotherapy, I finally managed to get surgery to remove the tumours from my lung in July this year and back to a state of remission. I’m back in the scary scan zone but I’m working hard to get my mental health back under control. I started by forcing myself to go back out to the supermarket by myself. It sounds silly but it was a big achievement for me to push myself to do that. If I get cabin fever after being at home for too long, I force myself out and I find tools like meditation apps or getting to a yoga class alleviates feelings of panic.
I know that it can be difficult to get a counsellor, but I am lucky that I have been given access to one through my renal team. I’ve only had one session so far but plan to keep going to help me keep on top of feelings of being overwhelmed. My cancer may be physically gone but I think what it caused in my head will stay with me a lot longer. In fact, I don’t think it will ever completely leave me but that I will continue to find ways to manage it.
If your illness is causing your mental health to suffer, I urge you to talk to someone about it or visit your GP to help you find ways to cope. As the saying goes, a problem shared, is a problem halved.

While on vacation last week, we took US 129 from North Carolina into Tennessee. At the border is where The Tail Of The Dragon starts. There are 318 curves in the 11 miles of the that section of highway. We had a great time driving the road. Here are a few pictures from the drive. I also included a map of the Dragon.
Great shots, looks like an absolute blast!
It really was a blast. A lot of different types of motorcycles and cars. There was a lotus that looked really nice and a lot of corvettes. This road is just one of many in the area that are challenging to drive. There is a group of folks with Abarths going there this weekend from down in the southeast. It would be fun to do this as a group.

A couple of enormous real-world work assignments have wound-through, and I'm back to make good on my commitment to deliver a 1/4" doweling jig.
One thing I've learned is, a bunch of shorter 1/4" dowels, a multidimensional array if you will, is a pretty great alternative to many other forms of joinery, including larger/deeper dowels.
First, ease: I've now standardized on 1" long dowels, so I can pretty much set the bit depth using a stop collar once, and forget it. I don't need larger dowels or longer dowels, because I'm using MORE dowels. And I only will need one dowel size to stock, going forward.
Second, strength: I've been testing to destruction and it seems a lot of smaller/shorter dowels is actually stronger than fewer larger/deeper dowels. I was hoping for almost as strong. My best guess is that distributing the stress over a wider area of the joint is pushing the envelope on the typical failure mode (where the stock itself just fractures apart).
Third, speed: Drilling 1/4" holes that are 1/2"-ish deep is really fast, even in challenging types of lumber. Chips from drilling fir, for example, can be a challenge to evacuate from holes when drilling larger/deeper. A 1/4" D 1/2" deep hole is not a problem in this regard. It is much much faster/easier drilling twelve (12) 1/4" holes than four or five 3/8" holes that are 1" to 1-1/2" deep.
I don't know of any other doweling jig that can do anything like this, not without having to jump through quite a few hoops. And it would be nowhere near as fast.
The astute observer will note that the fastener holes in the template are now pocketed. With the screw heads recessed, I can use a larger drill guide block, improving perpendicularity.
I'm also using a "real" 1/4" drill bushing. They aren't inexpensive, but will each joint needing more dowels, I figured it was worthwhile.
I'm still tweaking a couple of things. Like, the sandpaper on my fence is scraping-up the surface of the workpieces. I need finer-grained sandpaper. Most joints would be sanded but as you can tell form the pics, the alignment is so good that it might take more work to get the scratches from the sandpaper out, than to flush-up the joint.
Also want to tweak a couple of the dimensions a little more, to make setting the fence maybe a little more intuitive using stuff we already have in our shops.
But here are some pics so you guys know I'm actually going to get this done.
First pic shows the jig and some 1-1/4 x 3-1/4 ("dressed 2x4") stock I use for making tool stands and workbenches. I've got twelve dowels in this joint. I've tested similar joints to destruction and found I need quite long lengths in order to get enough leverage to destroy the joint.
Here is that same joint assembled. Piston first, reference edges nicely aligned.
My current drill guide block. I thought of making something fancier, but this one works well and probably approximates my final design.
A joint in some 3/4 x 1" stock and some 1-1/2" square stock. Terrific fits.
As you can see, the alignment is great, but you can see my scratches being left by my sandpaper. I need to get some different (finer) sandpaper grits and see which works best.
Phil, that looks like it has a lot of potential. Do you plan on making more than one option? I'm sure your test results are valid for interior applications, but I'm interested in it's application for something like an exterior door. Traditionally, larger diameter and longer dowels are used for that application, but I have recently some Euro style doors made with what look to be an array of 3/8" dowels maybe 2" deep, much the same as you are doing.
I wonder if something like a paint-on latex rubber would give a non-slip surface that would not mar surfaces? Maybe something like the spray on version of plasti-dip would work. I don't know if that would be a thin enough uncompressible coating to not hurt the high precision of your jig.
Look forward to releasing this version. I have the other one you made and would be interested in this as well.

I've done a 3/8" version, I don't think it would be ideal for doors, I'd think you'd want one wide enough to do a full rail width w/o repositioning.
So the question would be, how wide would that be, how thick are the doors typically, and what dowel spacing?

That might work, although if there is anything that would allow me to not have to wait for something to dry, I think I might prefer that.

I'll get it done now, I've got some time now.
By changing the spacing on the jig a bit, I've found that two spacer blocks are enough to get the holes centered on a variety of stocks.
For example, a 1-3/4" strip of wood will setup the fence on the jig for stock that is 1/2", 1", and 1-1/2" thick. In that instance, the 1/2" thick stock would have a single row of holes, the 1" thick stock would accommodate two rows of holes, and the 1-1/2" thick stock would accommodate up to three rows of holes. Of course, you don't have to use every hole position.
A 1-7/8" strip of wood will setup the fence for stock that is 3/4" or 1-1/4" thick. In that instance, the 3/4" thick stock would have a single row of holes, and the 1-1/4" thick stock would have two rows.
There is really no need to perfectly center the holes in your stock, but it is important to get the fence parallel to the template holes, and a scrap of wood of the correct width makes this a simple procedure. Also if your project calls for moving the fence, having a piece of wood that amounts to a setup gauge will allow one to return to a previous settings quickly.

Typical bottom rails are 8" wide, though I have made some as wide as 13". But I don't think you need to make the jig that wide. If you made the jig so that it can be indexed, like you do with Rockler's shelf hole jig, you should be able to maintain perfect alignment for multiple lengths. If your jig had holes over 8" on maybe 1" centers it would cover all "standard" exterior door joints, and being able to index it would cover the rest. For reference, exterior doors are typically 1-3/4" thick, but some are 2-1/4".

You know I was thinking about this some more.
I'm worried that if you put that many dowels that deep into a door, you might need some crazy hydraulic-type clamping at your disposal to get the joints to close.

Black bear rambles near Sisters, news article – Baldwin's Custom Hat and Boot Co.
A black bear spotted a few miles outside Sisters on Thursday evening is likely to leave the area unless residents give it a reason to stay, according to a state wildlife biologist.
Gene Baldwin reported the bear after spotting it a little after 6:30 p.m. at his home on Fadjur Lane, about eight miles east of Sisters.
Baldwin said he was out feeding his horses when he noticed one that seemed skittish and was intently watching something on the edge of the pasture. Following the horse’s gaze, Baldwin spotted a medium to large adult black bear on the other side of his fence.
Baldwin headed to his house to fetch his binoculars, and watched the bear wander off. Concerned about neighbors that keep miniature goats and other animals the bear might target, he contacted the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office to help alert others in the neighborhood.
Steven George, a wildlife biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said while black bears will seek out deer and elk fawns, they’ll eat anything and don’t tend to follow the migration routes of such animals.
In their first few months after coming out of hibernation in February or March, black bears will wander widely in search of food, George said.
“They’re pretty skinny; they’ve used up a lot of their fat reserves hibernating, so they’re pretty hungry and out looking for food,” he said. An estimated 34,000 to 35,000 black bears live in Oregon, George said, with the heaviest concentrations along the east slope of the Cascades.
The Sheriff’s Office is advising residents near the bear sighting to keep their garbage cans and other potential sources of food out of reach. Pet food, compost piles, fruit fallen from trees, unclean barbecues and even scented candles, soap or suntan lotion left unattended can attract bears, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office.
George said it’s good advice, as it doesn’t take a bear long to figure out where easy sources of food can be found.
Bears have appeared in the Sisters area before, most recently and notably in 2010, when a black bear camped out up a tree in Village Green Park above a crowd of onlookers. In that instance, wildlife officials attempted to lure the bear into a live trap baited with cantaloupe and barbecue sauce, but the bear climbed down and walked out of town on its own.
Baldwin said he suspects the bear that showed up at his house Thursday had come up from the nearby McKenzie Canyon, and has probably moved on.

With the continued prevalence of break-ins and theft, along with increased availability of advanced technology, traditional security methods have many times proven to be insufficient. Critical infrastructure such as nuclear power plants and airports are beginning to deploy additional layers of security to augment, or even replace, existing security systems with Time-of-Flight laser scanners.
Laser scanners can be configured to create customized infrared (IR) barriers or follow the contours of a landscape or surroundings. These scanners create an invisible IR barrier and trigger an alarm or a specified event once the IR plane is broken. In addition, the type of alarm that is triggered (for example; silent, audible, direct police alert, or prompt the recording of a nearby camera) can be specifically defined using dry contact relays. What truly sets laser scanners apart from other security methods is that they are highly programmable, extremely accurate, and well suited to be used in harsh environments and inclement weather.
To account for inclement weather, multi-echo technology allows for the laser scanners to accurately detect targets in heavy rain, fog, sleet, or even snow. Nuclear power plants are now deploying laser scanners as part of their security efforts due to their accuracy and filtering capabilities. In harsh weather at a specific US nuclear site, the LMS laser scanner provided by Comtrol was the only sensor that did not fail or go into an alarm state during a heavy snowfall.
Another unique application for laser scanners is within national and international airports, where they are being deployed to protect restaurants or shops within the concourse after closing. The laser scanners are used to replace metal gates which are not only aesthetically unappealing, but are also very costly to install and maintain. The LMS1XX, and TiM3XX laser scanners create an invisible IR barrier at the entrance of restaurants to restrict unauthorized after hours access to valuable goods. Several different models for both indoor and outdoor rated applications of the LMS and TiM laser scanners are available for your security needs at www.comtrol.com/laserscanners.

WINDHOEK, 11 OCT (NAMPA) Auditor-General (AG) Junias Kandjeke has given the Ohangwena Regional Council an adverse audit opinion after it found a host of irregularities in its financial statements for the 2013/14 financial year, an audit report shows.
An adverse opinion is a professional opinion made by an auditor indicating that an entitys financial statements are misrepresented, misstated and do not accurately reflect its financial performance and health.
In my opinion, because of the significance of the matters described in the basis of adverse audit opinion paragraph, the financial statements did not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Ohangwena Regional Council as at 31 March 2014, Kandjeke said.
The regions audit report for the 2013/14 financial year was tabled in the National Assembly by Finance Minister Calle Schlettwein on Wednesday.
Differences amounting to N.dollars 7 427 292 for current assets, N.dollars 7 290 775 for current liabilities and N.dollars 136 457 for accumulated funds were observed between the opening balances in the current year and the years financial statements, Kandjeke stated.
In addition, there is an unexplained difference amounting to N.dollars 14 854 524 on the opening balance.
To address this, the AG recommended that the council should ensure that opening balances disclosed in the current financial statements agree with the previous years closing balances.
The AG also found that the regional council did not submit income receipts amounting to N.dollars 330 884.
There was a further non-submission of supporting documents amounting to N.dollars 244 516.
During the period under review, there was also a misrepresentation of a bank account amounting to N.dollars 1.26 million.
There is a further overstatement of cash and cash equivalent with N.dollars 2.5 million and an incorrect cash flow statement.
The auditor also found an incorrect disclosure of expenditures and rates and levies amounting to N.dollars 278 812 and N.dollars 274 516 respectively.
It is recommended that the council ensure that transactions are properly recorded within the relevant accounting period, Kandjeke ordered.
He added that in the future, the Ohangwena Regional Council should ensure that supporting documents are properly filed, safeguarded and provided for audit purposes.
In addition, the financial statement was only submitted to the AGs office on 03 November 2017, instead of three months after the end of the financial year in question.

Froome maintained his place with new race leader Richie Porte (BMC Racing) on the 8.7km climb and launched an attack on the descent.
“Mentally, it was a bit of an unknown,” Froome said. “I’ve never done that descent before, I’ve never seen it.
The same climb and descent will be used in the Tour de France‘s stage nine this July, when Froome will try to win his fourth title.
Froome’s top rival appears to be his former team-mate, Australian Richie Porte. Porte moved in to the overall lead on stage six after the two climbed together and descended with Astana’s Fabio Aru and Jakob Fuglsang.
Thanks to his gains with his time trial win two days ago on stage four and his second place behind Fuglsang, Porte took over the yellow jersey from early leader Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal).
Froome sits second overall at 39 seconds; the losses from the time trial.
Froome had tried to take his first win of the 2017 season on Friday, but Fuglsang pulled him back on the descent, he led out and sprinted.
Fuglsang, however, came around on his left for the win and Porte on his right for second place.
“I would be lying if I said I would be happy with third in the sprint,” said Froome. “I was really hoping to get the stage win but I think I was a bit too eager in the last, doing a bit too much work chasing Jakob Fuglsang.
“Then starting the sprint a little to far out myself,” Froome added.
“All in all, I’m happy with how it went. It could’ve gone much worse. At least I was in front, the legs are good and I’m happy to be up there with Richie at the moment, who’s in amazing form.
Froome’s last win came in the 2016 Vuelta a España, when he won the time trial stage on September 9. He began the Critérium du Dauphiné following a training camp at altitude on the Spanish island of Tenerife.
“I didn’t need it [this performance], but it’s nice to know that I’m there or there abouts with Richie, who’s probably the strongest climber at the moment,” he said.

I am a 77 year old male in pretty good shape physically even though I have recently had heart surgery. I am very lonely and depressed all of the time. I have been depressed most of my life. Ever since I got out of the service I have been treated for depression and anxiety by the VA. But this doesn't tell you what happened to me. When I think about what is left for me in this life, I realize that I have lost all faith in my fellowman and mankind as a whole.
In 2012 I was living in a small town in South Florida where I was doing volunteer work. I did not know anyone and had no one to talk to so I ran an add on Craig's list. I really was not interested in meeting anyone; I just wanted someone to talk to. I enjoyed getting the emails that I did receive.
One day, I received a email from a young lady that said she ran away from her home and needed help. I told her I wasn't interested in meeting her but that I had run away from home myself at fourteen. The friends that said they would help did nothing for me and their parents refused to let them help.
I told her I would leave money at whatever place she indicated. That way she could get something to eat. I told her it couldn't be much as I live on Social Security, $905.00 a month. She wrote back several times requesting to meet but I refused and again offered to leave money any where to help her, if she wanted me to still try to help her?
I then made the decision to meet her, I had thirteen dollars to give her so I drove to the park to give it to her. I was met with about five or six Police Officers. They took me to jail. I ask: "Do I need a lawyer?" They said. "No , let's just clear this up". I said you have my emails, they said, "Yes, we know. But you know you didn't just want to help, all you really wanted was a BJ."
They kept pounding that as the main issue until I finally said: "Whatever". Then they tossed me in jail. I slept on the floor there for 3 days. I did not know what to do. If it were not for an alleged drug dealer, I would not have been released from jail. He helped me get a bond and released from jail. He was the only one to help me. He also referred me to his attorney.
I had never been in trouble before this. I had two speeding tickets in my entire life. I worked as a clinical hypnotherapist and helped people with all kinds of problems, mostly Drug Addicts or troubled kids. I don't know where to turn and I do not have much money as I'm on SSN. My monthly income is $905.00. I have helped others all my life. I belong to the Elks, Moose, Eagles, and American Legion Organizations. I have always been available for anyone or organization that needed help. Now I need help. I don't know what to do.
All I can say is, "Guys, stay off the computer!!" Don't fall for the scam like I did. It is not worth it.

Visa's are certificates issued by Government and they also verify that the person offers the proper credentials for entry to the nation. They may be evidenced with the attachment towards the passport of the person. Additionally they give the person the capability to remain in america for a specified length of time.
India has very strict requirements regarding the entry in the country and having the right documents. It can be very challenging if it's done a bad way. Indian Ministry of External Affairs is one that is accountable for handing out the visas to their foreign nationals. Visas also enable the person to enter the land to get a short period of time frame as they are marked about the visa.
India is certainly a beautiful country with unique geography, beliefs, culture, food, people, festivals and traditions.

As being a US citizen, you might find many tourist destinations in India which are equally memorable and mesmerizing.

Join us for a special day for children as we commemorate Lazarus Saturday (Vrbica Day) with Divine Liturgy and Holy Communion for children beginning at 10:00 a.m. and Confession beginning as early as 9:00 a.m. Saturday, April 8 at St. Sava Church in Merrillville. Services will include a mini-concert by the Children’s Choir of St. Sava.
Palm Sunday Services begin Sunday, April 9 at 10:00 a.m. with Confession beginning as early as 9:00 a.m.
This weekend marks the beginning of Holy Week with special services taking place daily. A complete list of services is available in the schedule below.
Lazarus Saturday is the first day of the Great and Holy Week. On this day we commemorate Jesus raising his friend, Lazarus, from the dead. Lazarus Saturday is a paschal celebration, and is a preview of the Resurrection that we will celebrate one week later. At the Liturgy for this day, Christ is glorified as the Resurrection and the Life, and the baptismal verse “All you who have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ” replaces the Thrice Holy Hymn. By raising Lazarus, Christ has confirmed that we all will one day be resurrected.
To gather pussywillows we walk in a festive procession on Lazarus Saturday. Coming back is particularly solemn. The clergy in their festive Garb are followed by festively dressed school children. They sing while they walk to the accompaniment of church bells. From the voices of innocent children who carry their willow twigs as a symbol of Christ’s victory reverberates, “HOSANNA…!” it is customary that each child is given a small bell which is rung during the procession thus proclaiming the Solemn Entry of our Lord into Jerusalem.
The picture remains indelible in the minds of children and continues into their later years. This is where the beauty of Orthodoxy is presented to them; this is where true dogmatic beliefs penetrate their souls to grasp resurrection from death. The beautiful holiday Troparion convinces them as well as nature which rested all winter and emerges to show itself stronger and more luxuriant.
Palm Sunday is the holiday which commemorates the solemn entry of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ into Jerusalem six days before the Passover (Matt. 12:1-12).
In remembrance of that event the first Christians established the holiday, Palm Sunday. With the celebration of Palm Sunday the custom to bless palm branches was established to celebrate Christ’s victory.
Even prior to the Christian era Palms were awarded as a sign of victory. Palms, always green, are said by old beliefs, grown out of their ashes. It signifies the glory of a victor who deserves an immortal name.
Heroes were greeted and decorated with palms. Therefore, the people greeted the Savior with palms because nothing could have dissuaded His voluntary sufferings: no Gethsemane horrors, no injustice of Judean courts, no insidious leaders, not even His mother’s love nor Golgotha’s horrible sufferings.
The word “palma” according to the Greek fine interpretation was a phoenix with which Christ was met, or in a wider interpretation may mean a bud or a shoot.
In regions where there are no palms, a willow is blessed because it is the first one to become green after winter. It reminds us of a general resurrection. Our presence at the church service with green willows in our hand witnesses our belief in Christ victory over death.

Murder trial begins in the death of Larnell Bruce Jr.
Gallery: Murder trial begins in the death of Larnell Bruce Jr.
UPDATE APRIL 16: Russell Courtier was sentenced to life in prison with a 28-year minimum. Read that story here.
A jury’s verdict Tuesday that Russell Orlando Courtier acted out of racial malice in driving into and killing African American teenager Larnell Bruce Jr. appears to mark Oregon’s first hate crime murder conviction in three decades.
Jurors found Courtier guilty of murder, second-degree intimidation and hit-and-run driving for chasing Bruce in a Jeep onto a sidewalk before speeding away in August 2016 after the two fought at a 7-Eleven in Gresham.
Courtier was wearing a hat at the time that displayed the initials and shield of the white supremacist prison gang, European Kindred. The prosecution said Courtier deliberately targeted 19-year-old Bruce with the SUV and witnesses heard his girlfriend egg him on.
The last time a defendant was convicted of a racially fueled murder in the state was in 1989, as far as prosecutors and national hate group watchdog Randy Blazak can remember. It came in the case of Ethiopian immigrant Mulugeta Seraw, who was bludgeoned to death by a group of skinheads with a baseball bat on a Southeast Portland street.
The brutal crime and the racism behind it shook Oregon and the nation and exposed a white supremacist group that was able to bubble up and exist in a liberal community that some thought had eradicated such hate.
Blazak, who has spent his career studying hate groups and testified for the prosecution in the Courtier trial, said part of the reason these murder convictions are so few is that such crimes are truly rare.
“We’ve gotten plenty of people getting beat up, lots of vandalism,” Blazak said of bias defendants who have attacked people or property.
Another reason is that it’s difficult for prosecutors to prove someone’s mindset – what the defendant was thinking when he or she turned violent, said Blazak, chairman of the Oregon Coalition Against Hate Crime.
While jurors found Courtier guilty 12-0 of the murder and hit-and-run driving, when it came to the hate-crime charge of intimidation, two jurors voted that the prosecution hadn’t proven it beyond a reasonable doubt. The 10-2 vote on that count was just enough to secure a conviction.
Courtier didn’t take the stand during the eight-day trial in downtown Portland. His lawyers argued that he suffered a concussion in the fight and wasn’t thinking rationally when he drove into Bruce. The prosecution said Courtier, who joined the European Kindred 15 years ago while incarcerated, was a racist who made no secret about his beliefs within his circle.
As Multnomah County Circuit Judge Jerry Hodson read the verdict, members of Bruce’s family breathed deeply and cried -- a release of emotion after the tense trial. As family members streamed out of the courthouse, some said they thought justice had been served.
Christina Mines, Bruce’s mother, struggled to find words as she wiped away tears.
“I’m so happy,” Mines said.
The four women and eight men deliberated almost 10 hours over three days.
Larnell Bruce Jr., 19, died on Aug. 13, 2016, three days after Russell Courtier intentionally drove into him.
Under Oregon law, Courtier will face a minimum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of release after 25 years. But prosecutor David Hannon has notified the court that he plans to ask for a longer prison term, given the circumstances of Courtier’s crimes.
Courtier’s sentencing hearing could still be weeks off and jurors could be asked to return to help decide on factors that would affect his sentence. Given the high-stakes nature of the case and the desire to protect jurors from unwanted contact in the hallways, courthouse deputies escorted the them from the courthouse.
During trial, defense attorneys Kevin Sali and John Robb contended that Bruce suddenly started punching and beating Courtier without provocation on the night of Aug. 10, 2016. Courtier had just driven up to the 7-Eleven at 188th Avenue and East Burnside with his girlfriend.
But Hannon said there was no evidence that Bruce started the fistfight outside the convenience store. Surveillance video shows Bruce peacefully standing outside the store for minutes until Courtier drove up and parked, then suddenly a fight was on, the prosecutor said.
Hannon said he couldn’t say what the disagreement was about, but he noted that Bruce was African American and Courtier is white, and Courtier wore a hat with white supremacist symbols recognizable and well-known to some.
Courtier had joined the European Kindred in 2003 or 2004 and also had the gang’s initials and logo tattooed onto one of his legs, Hannon said. He also played for jurors a video showing Courtier saying the n-word while in a police interview room hours after the killing.
A defense expert testified Courtier could have suffered a concussion. But the prosecution pointed out that medical records contained no information that Courtier suffered a concussion or brain injury during the fight. A prosecution expert diagnosed Courtier with antisocial personality disorder, typically defined by a lack of remorse for harm caused to others.
The defense urged jurors not to judge Courtier on past ties to the white supremacist gang.
Courtier’s mother, Debbie Courtier, said after the verdict that she doesn’t believe her son is a racist and that white supremacy didn’t motivate her son to fatally strike Bruce.
Hunt has agreed to be sentenced to 10 years in prison at a later date.
Blazak said Courtier’s conviction carries an unavoidable paradox.
One of the effects of sending Courtier back to prison is he will be revered by members of European Kindred for the murder.

__NOTOC__ =Overview= ==Delivering on the Promise of the Information Technology Revolution== [[Image:Indesign_Fig.1-1.final_composite.png|400px|left|thumb|This image shows relevant structures from multiple modalities: '''1''' Surface of the white matter, '''2''' Surface of the gray matter, '''3''' Local U fibers, '''4''' Intraparenchymal bleed, '''5''' Part of the corticospinal tract. The image processing used to generate this result includes multi-modal image registration (T1, T1 postcontrast, T2, Flair, DTI); automated segmentation of brain tissue, CSF, lesions, and bleeding; user-guided tractography based on fiber clustering; and interactive integrated display.]] NA-MIC, the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing, is a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary community of researchers, who share the recognition that modern healthcare demands improved technologies to ease suffering and prolong productive life. Organized under the National Centers for Biomedical Computing six years ago, NA-MIC was created to implement a robust and flexible open-source infrastructure for developing and applying advanced imaging technologies across a range of important biomedical research disciplines. A measure of its success, NA-MIC now is applying this technology to diseases that have immense impact on the duration and quality of life: cancer, heart disease, trauma, and degenerative genetic diseases. The target of this techology is shifting from whole populations to subject-specific analysis. Practicing clinicians and biomedical researchers are intimately aware of gaps in their ability to apply medical knowledge to the needs of individual patients. An abundance of electronic clinical data is produced over the course of an individual's disease progression and treatment, representing an enormous opportunity for improving medical care. The task of interpreting this mass of clinical data, however, has become correspondingly complex, often confounding this opportunity. To borrow a phrase from the intelligence community, the medical community is facing a challenge of "not enough eyeballs per pixel." An example of subject-specific analysis on an individual dataset in a patient with moderate traumatic brain injury and intraparenchymal bleeding is shown in the Figure. These results were created using preliminary versions of novel methodologies and tools currently in development by NA-MIC. These methodologies and tools are being developed to aid the clinical assessment of damage and viable treatment options in TBI patients. Analysis of diffusion tensor images allows identification of white matter tracts in the vicinity of one of the lesions. Despite the complexity of the process, this image was constructed on a standard laptop in under 30 minutes. This sort of analysis will eventually enable clinicians to identify issues unique to the patient, guide treatment, and predict outcome in a clinically viable timeframe. In practice, delivering on the promise of the information technology revolution in biomedical imaging is exceptionally difficult. The barriers to entry include the need to interoperate with scanners and other clinical systems, to organize and present clinical information according to accepted conventions, and to deploy computer systems that can efficiently process data within the time constraints of clinical practice. Since many of these requirements are common across a range of clinical applications, the NA-MIC open source platform allows the most labor intensive development and debugging tasks to be shared by the community for mutual benefit. A well defined, scalable software architecture and rigorous engineering methodology are essential to making software of this scale viable and are hallmarks of the NA-MIC approach. ==Impact through Collaboration== NA-MIC has funded activities at multiple centers in the United States and participated in multiple international collaborations. Each center serves as the nexus for interaction between computer scientists and medical researchers investigating biological problems of vital importance to human health. In the accompanying schematic, each disease process, anatomic location, funding institution, and geographic location has a corresponding color code. Colon cancer, for example, is identified by a yellow dot. Six of these projects are funded by NIH institutes (MH, RR, EB, HL, CA, NS). One additional project is funded by the NSF. [[Image:full_body_geoanatomy_international-illustration-05192010-800.png|full_body_geoanatomy_international-illustration-05192010-800.png|left]] The scope of NA-MIC activities includes both the highly speculative exploration of new mathematical formations of core image analysis techniques and the ongoing effort of delivering and supporting binary distributions of software applications across a range of computing platforms. To address this continuum, the NA-MIC Computer Science Core is organized around two teams: Algorithms and Engineering. These teams bring complementary skills to the technical challenges posed by the driving biologic projects (DBPs). The Algorithms team is led by five senior investigators from four academic institutions. Their combined background provides expertise in variational, statistical, and geometrical approaches to image analysis. The Engineering team is led by five senior investigators from two small businesses, an industrial research facility, and two academic institutions. The joint output of these two teams is the NA-MIC Kit, which embodies a comprehensive set of analysis techniques in a well architected, documented, and widely used platform. ==Creating Tools and Infrastructure for Personalized Medicine== NA-MIC is active in two fundamental aspects of biomedical technology: basic research to characterize diseases in populations and clinical decision support to translate this general knowledge to the needs of individual patients. This integration of approaches is referred to as ''personalized medicine.'' The first six years of NA-MIC were focused primarily on basic research in schizophrenia, autism, and lupus, where detailed individual analyses of lesion locations, cortical thickness, white matter architecture, and brain structure morphometry were studied in large populations. Statistics from these group comparisons are essential to defining the range of variation endemic in these conditions. As part of these efforts, NA-MIC invested heavily in the technologies for analysis and visualization of multimodal imaging studies of individuals. Increasingly these tools and approaches have supported translational science in support of patient-specific clinical decision support. Although our computer scientists have strong credentials in this area, NA-MIC's involvement in translational medicine began in earnest with our work in MRI-guided prostate cancer interventions through a funded DBP, in addition to funded collaborations on topics such as CT colonography, radiofrequency liver tumor ablation, and analysis of PET-CT studies of lung tumor characteristics. Our current DBPs reflect the goal of embodying knowledge gained from population analysis in new or modified software systems directed to the benefit of individual patients. As the current NA-MIC DBPs make concrete technical advances to subject-specific analysis in their respective fields, these advances reflect and inspire important developments in the NA-MIC Kit, which enhance its utility as a research platform and lead to new software solutions. The current DBPs, for example, require improved robustness and efficiency of multimodal nonlinear image registration and segmentation for almost every medical image computing application. All of the DBPs work with multiple or longitudinal image data of individual subjects. These data are used to detect and characterize changes from baseline secondary to disease, trauma, or treatment. This effort requires novel image processing and visualization tools for qualitative and quantitative assessment of serial images. Quantitative evaluation of pathology, a main theme in all four DBPs, necessitates new types of efficient intuitive user-interaction in 2D and 3D displays to efficiently initialize and guide image registration and segmentation procedures. To adapt these tools for clinical use, refinements are needed to render the NA-MIC Kit more compatible with clinical systems, including capabilities for representing clinical data, PACS interfaces, and DICOM networking. Another technical goal common to all NA-MIC DBPs is the delivery of integrated solutions of data, software, and tutorials that represent clinical Best Practices. In this regard, the Computer Science Core is creating or modifying infrastructure for optimizing and validating these Best Practices, while the Service, Training, and Dissemination Cores are designing systems and methodologies for effectively communicating these Best Practices to the wider research community. To meet the challenges of the information technology revolution, the NA-MIC organization is guided by three principles: (1) Innovation cannot and should not be managed from above, (2) Communication and training across computer science and clinical research disciplines is critical to providing the highest quality biomedical image analysis research, and (3) Open science is good science. These principles are applied in a culture of shared decision-making and mutual responsibility among Core PIs. They have served our Center well in the past and will continue in the future.

I have focused my practice on Alabama employment law for more than 25 years.
The action an employee takes in response to sexual harassment may determine what legal rights the employee ultimately has.
Description: Under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), a leave may be as short as a few hours on a sporadic basis or as long as 12 weeks.
Description: A whistleblower may disclose financial fraud, health or environmental violations, or anything that is illegal or against public policy.
Aside from family, a job is among the most important aspects of many people's lives. Not only do we spend a significant percentage of our time at work, our jobs help define who we are and how we feel about ourselves.
For these reasons, it is important for individuals to protect their rights in the workplace. Federal laws protect employees against wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment and other illegal actions taken by employers.
At the law office of Adam M. Porter in Birmingham, Alabama, I am passionate about protecting the rights of workers who have endured employment-related infractions. I have more than 25 years of experience helping employees use Alabama and federal employment law to stand up for their rights when the employment relationship is abused.
I am sensitive to the legal, economic and emotional dynamics that arise when the employment relationship is abused. I utilize tact and diplomacy in pursuing a favorable resolution of your case.
The law in these areas is complicated and full of nuances. If you feel you are a victim of workplace discrimination or harassment, it is important to contact a knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible. I can advise you of the proper steps to take and help you recover lost wages and other damages. We may also be able to help you retain your current job.
If you have questions about a workplace situation you are dealing with, I offer a free consultation in which I can provide an assessment of your case. To meet with a Birmingham employment law attorney, call 205-588-2261 locally or toll free at 800-809-5913 or email me to schedule a meeting.
The law firm of Adam M. Porter is located in Birmingham, Alabama, and serves clients throughout northern and central Alabama, including residents of Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Gadsden, Anniston, Cullman, Decatur and Bessemer. I also serve residents of all cities and towns in Shelby County and Jefferson County.

"Today" show co-anchor Hoda Kotb is growing her family!
The biggest one was Monday when she posted what many perceived just to be an inspirational Instagram: "Choose Hope".
(You tricky lady, you.) The Today show followed up with a pic of Kotb with both of her daughters. Kotb adopted her first child, Haley Joy, in 2017 and photos show she approves of her little sister.
"Joel and I were standing there when they hand you the baby - and it's the closest thing to a live birth I think you'll ever see - [and] in that moment I was like, 'My God.' My heart just grew 10 times, it's fantastic", she said about her experience with her boyfriend Joel Schiffman.
Sounds like Haley is going to be just fine when she starts to get the hang of this big sister thing!
Kotb says Haley is marching around saying "I'm a big sister". "I'm so happy to be here". "About a week ago, I'm changing her and I'm putting her down for bed and I say, 'Haley do you know what my favorite time of the day is?' And she looked at me and she goes, 'Right now.' And I thought that night time is so intimate and so special".
"Joel and I were standing there when they hand you the baby", Kotb said. "How's she doing? Is she helping?" asked Savannah Guthrie. "In that moment I was like, my heart just grew!" But one day I was sitting with my boyfriend and I said to him, 'I'm going to have to talk to you about something because I can't push it down anymore, push it away.' I said, 'Don't answer now. "It's wonderful. I can't believe it's happening".

Fred and Cindy Warmbier said, “We have been respectful during this summit process. Now we must speak out. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son Otto.” They added ” No excuses or lavish praise can change that.” Their response was directed to our president’s attempt to overlook the torture that their son and U.S. citizen received at the hands of the North Koreans.
President Trump says that he takes the word of Kim Jung Un that he personally knew nothing about the maltreatment of this American prisoner. The fact that Trump sides with high profile authoritarian figures has become a noticeable pattern. World leaders are responsible for the wrong-doing of their nations. If a significant injustice occurs on their watch, they are expected to admit and correct the situation. By the way the prisons in North Korea are the worst in the world.
How did Otto Warmbier find himself imprisoned in North Korea? As a 22 year old University of Virginia student, he signed up for a study-abroad program in Hong Kong. Then he took a side trip to North Korea with Young Pioneer Tours travel group. As he departed from the Pyongyang airport he was stopped by security. He was charged with the crime of stealing a political poster from a restricted floor of his hotel. The act was clearly disrespectful but not deserving of what was to follow.
At his trial Warmbier admitted to the crime and begged for a release. He was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor but was sent home after 17 months in a vegetative state. Supposedly he had slipped into a coma after contracting botulism and given a sleeping pill. A coroner’s report stated that Warmbier died from an unknown injury causing lack of oxygen to the brain. it has suggested that he may have suffered electrocution. Warmbier remained consciousness and died several days after being brought home.
Otto Warmbier was born on a Monday and in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. This gives the Moon rulership of his INNER self and Jupiter the same power to his OUTER self. Together these two energies produce the happy and carefree #21 MON SAG signature.
This signature creates a large amount of optimism and idealism. The combination of Moon and Jupiter energies can act very constructively in understanding and advancing causes. These folks naturally want to improve situations for themselves and others.
Those born on Monday are always sensitive and impressionable to some degree They are moved by their feelings, but generally they offer no real danger to anyone. The only exception would be if they joined a cause and became emotionally carried away.
Sagittarians are naturally hopeful, but sometimes a bit careless. They tend to see the best in others and ignore the worst about the world unless they find it directly upon them. Their tolerance is tested when they see their beloved principles twisted.
It is hard to see from Warmbier’s signature how this hardship was warrented. He appears to have been a fine person with a good upbringing. This experience shows that institutional cruelty can be encountered by anyone as long as we allow these practices to continue.

Cleveland Golf has been producing fine quality wedges for over 25 years and they have logged over 300 wins on the PGA Tour, including 25 majors. Since they’ve been in business, they’ve sold over seven million wedges. They’re touting the new Cleveland CG15 Wedges as the best performing wedge ever produced.
The Cleveland CG15 wedges are a traditional players shaped wedge similar to their earlier predecessor, the CG12. It’s designed with a patented precision laser milled face texture to maximize surface roughness and spin. Coupled with the zip grooves the CG15 has the best and most effective spin technology ever developed by Cleveland Golf.
The laser milled face on the CG15 wedges is created by using the precision accuracy of a laser to add four perfectly calibrated texture lines between each zip groove exactly to the conforming USGA roughness limit. The additional surface roughness optimizes ball-to-face friction and maximizes spin providing greater control for any wedge shot.
The Cleveland CG15 Zip Grooves are a breakthrough in milling technology that creates the maximum conforming width and depth resulting in 25% bigger grooves with pristine edges. They’re also available in Tour Zip Grooves for those competing at the highest level.
A new feature in the CG15 Wedges is the “S” shaped sole. This sole grind creates a constant sole width from heel to toe, accomplished by adding some material near the heel of the club and removing some material from the toe of the club. The constant sole width increases bunker performance without sacrificing versatility. The narrower toe on the wedge reduces turf contact and drag whilst the wider heel reduces digging and increases forgiveness on open faced shots.
An alternative to the “S” Sole is the DSG (Dynamic Sole Grind). DSG is the removal of material from the back bottom edge of the clubface. This material reduction turns the Cleveland CG15 into a super low bounce wedge and allows players better contact on open faced shots due to the lower leading edge.
Aside from the DSG, there are three bounce options for the Cleveland CG15 Wedges; low, standard and high bounce. The different bounce options are denoted by a series of dots on the clubhead. one dot for low, two dots for standard and three dots for high bounce.
Bounce is the angle that is made by the metal built-up on the sole of the club and the front edge of the club. This is known as the golf wedge bounce angle.
Players can use this to their advantage by matching the amount bounce on their wedges to the grass and soil conditions of their home or favorite courses they like to play. They must also match this club set up to their individual styles of swings.
As a general rule of thumb if you play on a course with a harder turf and firmer sand in the traps you should be using wedges with less bounce. The lower amount of bounce will help the clubs leading edge dig down easier into the turf and through the rest of the shot.
On the contrary if you play on a course with softer turf conditions and fluffy sand then you should be using wedges with a little more bounce as this will help prevent the club digging to deeply into the ground thus causing the dreaded fat shot.
In terms of selecting your golf clubs to suit the style of your swing there is also a general rule to follow. Golfers with a steeper or more upright swings will tend to do better with a little more golf wedge bounce because it will prevent their clubs from digging too deep in the ground on the downswing.(also known as “Diggers”) On the other hand those players who have a flatter, more sweeping swing will fare better with wedges with a little less bounce. This will help avoid skidding off the ground with the club and making contact with the middle of the ball. This is otherwise known to golfers as skulling or blading a shot (known as “Sweepers”).
If you aren’t sure which category you fall into there’s a simple way to find out. Just go to your local driving range or practice area and hit a few balls with your higher lofted clubs. Then take a look at your divots and use Mother Nature as your own form of technology. If you’re taking long deep divots this is a sign of a digger. If you’re taking thin shallow or even no divots at all then this is a sign of a sweeper.
Once you recognize your swing type and course conditions it is fairly simple to decide on the amount of golf wedge bounce angle that you need. With this information you or you local pro should be able to fit your wedges perfectly to your game and you’ll be on your way to shooting lower scores.
Cleveland CG15 Wedges offer a variety of loft, bounce and lie combination’s, which are illustrated below.
The CG15’s come in a three finishes, black pearl, satin chrome and oil quenched and retail for $119.99.
For the club review, I received standard bounce 52 and 56 degree wedges and after eight rounds and just as many range sessions, I feel pretty confident in my assessment of the clubs. I hit a variety of shots (both good and bad 🙂 ) with the Cleveland CG15’s and overall they’re pretty solid wedges. They have a nice soft feel to them and when hit correctly can generate some serious spin.
After playing with these wedges, I can fully appreciate the importance of hitting a wedge with the correct bounce. I have a steeper swing plane and really noticed a difference between my current Eidolon Wedges and the Cleveland CG15’s when it came to hitting from the sand. This is the one area that I had trouble getting consistent performance with. I kept hitting fat shots out of the sand, which, I’m certain you know, is really frustrating.. 🙂 Everywhere else, however, I was pleased with the clubs performance and was able to get the ball to stop pretty much where I wanted it to.
The one negative thing I experienced during this CG15 Wedge Review is that the laser milled clubface scratches very easily. It doesn’t affect the performance of the club, it’s just an aesthetics thing. Now, for me, that’s no big deal, it’s bound to happen sooner or later, so might as well get it out of the way early so you can stop worrying about it. But for reviewing sakes, it’s worth noting that it happened for me on the 1st bucket of range balls I hit.
Overall, I think the Cleveland CG15 wedges are pretty awesome. There’s been a lot of hype about the wedges over the past couple months and I can say for certain, that it’s well deserved.
If you’re in the market for some new scoring sticks, I recommend giving the CG15’s a shot.
Who has the best chance to win the US Open in 2010?
Cleveland Golf has a long history of making great wedges. The almost iconic 588 wedges are still in play all over the world for pros and weekend hackers alike. Founded in 1979, Cleveland Golf was purchased in December of 2007 by SRI Sports, the parent company of Srixon Golf in Japan. Over the last few years the wedge market has become very competitive, with the tour success of Titleist’s Vokey wedges taking a slight edge in weekly wedge count on the PGA Tour. The founder of Cleveland Golf – Roger Cleveland, sold the company in 1990. Later, he hooked up with Callaway Golf and now designs clubs for them. Even Taylor Made has gotten into the act, and several smaller companies also seek to steal some market share in the wedge world. Still a market leader, Cleveland Golf has a new wedge offering for late 2010. The CG15. Last month I first wrote a previewof these wedges, and Cleveland was nice enough to loan me a few to test out in person. Let’s take a look at these beautiful new wedges and see how they perform.
With the exception of advances in CNC machining that led to sharper and deeper grooves, technology in wedges hasn’t changed much since Gene Sarazen invented the modern sand wedge back in the early thirties. Subsequently, little has changed in Cleveland’s wedge offerings in the past few years. From the CG10, to the CG12 and now the new CG15, Cleveland retained the same basic look. There isn’t much you can change on a classic wedge design, so most companies relocate the text or change the graphics. With the new CG15 wedges, they have moved the bounce angle number and dots from the hosel area to the sole of the club, just below the loft number. They’ve also moved the company name from the sole to the back of the club, replacing the logo that was there on the CG12. Cleveland has also rolled back the trailing edge of the club to make it more playable when opening the club.
Cleveland’s new CG15 Wedges are offered in 3 distinct finishes – Chrome, Oil Quenched and Black Pearl. The chrome finish is the classic treatment that we are all used to seeing in a wedge or forged iron. The Black Pearl finish is a dark matte finish similar to Cleveland’s gunmetal finish. This dark finish has become familiar to Cleveland fans. The other finish being offered with the CG15 wedges is called Oil Quenched. This finish has a beautiful reddish brown tint to it, and like other non-chromed clubs, it will rust over time. Many players have come to prefer a rusty style wedge, one for the glare resistance, and two because many players believe a lack of polish makes the clubs softer. Either way, a choice of three finishes certainly is more than most companies can offer.
The good folks at Cleveland Golf sent me three wedges of different lofts and finishes to put through their paces. I had a 52 degree Oil Quenched, 56 degree Black Pearl and 60 degree Chrome wedge to test out. The timing of my play testing was almost perfect. I was fortunate to have a fantastic venue to test out the wedges at Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club in Ocala Florida. I was in town competing in the Florida State Mid-Amateur Championship and I had several friends available to hit some balls with them and give me their opinions. The short game practice facility at Golden Ocala is second to none, featuring three beautiful practice greens with bunkers and plenty of space to hit from all angles. In fact, there is enough space to hit short chips all the way out to 100 yard shots, making it a perfect place to try out new wedges. I put the CG15 wedges through their paces, hitting everything from basic chips and bunker shots to pitch shots, knockdowns and full wedges from a variety of lies. To sum things up, these wedges are very solid. They have the predictable feel common to Cleveland wedges. It’s soft and muted, and vibration is kept to a minimum, even on mishits. The feel almost reminds me of a forged cavity back iron, even though these wedges are neither forged nor cavity backs. This is a common misconception among consumers. Cast and forged clubs differ only in the manufacturing process, not in feel or performance. The reason many cast clubs feel harder than forged ones is simply that harder metals are easier to cast than softer ones. Cleveland has never made a forged wedge, and neither has Bob Vokey, who’s Titleist wedges combine with Cleveland to dominate the wedge market. They use soft carbon steel to cast their wedges, and they feel every bit as soft as a forged club of the same metal.
Cleveland’s Zip Grooves have been augmented with a new feature called Laser Etched grooves, introduced for the CG15 wedge. Using a laser, 4 texture lines are milled between each groove exactly to the conforming roughness limit. This roughness application optimizes ball-to-face friction and maximizes spin under the rules of golf. In my experience, the ability to produce spin depends less on the club or grooves, and more on the golfer’s ability and the golf ball used. Having said that, these wedges can put some serious spin on the ball. From a fairway lie the spin produced is similar to most other wedges. On chip shots executed with proper technique, the ball skids and grabs hard, trickling the rest of the way to the hole. From the rough is where the modern box grooves really shine. Because of the increased groove volume and shape, more grass and dirt is trapped by the grooves and balls hit from the rough spin much more than when hit with wedges with more traditional V grooves. I had no problem stopping the ball reasonably quickly from lies in all but the thickest rough.
I found that the initial finish on the face of the Black Pearl and Oil Quenched wedges wears quickly, but this is normal and unavoidable, just as with any other wedges. The face of the chrome wedges also wears just as fast, but because of the finish its not as noticeable. The grooves and even the laser etched grooves micro grooves held up well in my 4 days of testing, and I predict they will wear well for at least a season for most golfers. It remains to be seen how long the laser etched grooves last under normal use. I always recommend new wedges every year for serious golfers. These wedges are very well balanced, and in the hands of a skilled golfer they become deadly scoring weapons. I was able to hit low spinning shots and high flops alike with ease. The multiple bounce and loft options ensure that they have a wedge for everyone’s needs or wants. Another option that has been in Cleveland’s arsenal for a few years is the DSG wedge, which stands for “Dynamic Sole Grind”. These wedges have a sole that is beveled to allow the leading edge to sit closer to the ground when the face is opened. This allows for more versatility for a variety of lies and turf conditions.
With three finishes, two different grind options, lofts from 48 to 64 degrees and several bounce options, there is sure to be a CG15 for everyone. The most popular lofts have several bounce options to make the wedges more versatile for different players and turf conditions. The 56 degree loft for example is offered with 10, 14 or 16 degrees of bounce, and the DSG version has 8 degrees. There are also several custom shaft options available to upgrade the stock shaft, which is the now very popular “wedge flex” shaft that many companies are selling wedges with. This is a shame, because these shafts are garbage. I have seen wedge flex shafts flex all over the place on a shaft deflection board, and the weights are also not tightly controlled as they are on a shaft like the Dynamic Gold. I would highly suggest ordering wedges with the same shafts that are in your irons for consistent feel.
I think Cleveland has a winner with the new CG15 wedges. They feel very solid and well balanced, and Cleveland offers more loft, bounce and finish options than any other manufacturer. The Zip Grooves with Laser Etched micro grooves generate plenty of spin, and they look great in the bag. My personal favorite is the Oil Quenched finish (seen at far left below), which has a gorgeous red tint that is unlike any other club out there. I wish the stock shaft was of better quality, and I also would love to see a comprehensive wedge fitting system available to help match players with all those loft and bounce combination for best performance.
Cons: Stock “wedge flex” steel shafts are disappointing. Laser etched grooves may wear fast. With so many loft/bounce options, Cleveland needs a comprehensive wedge fitting system.
The club is pointing the wrong way. And you have the glove on the wrong hand! WTF?
Thanks for reading the blog and commenting! It is my understanding that there are no special markings to determine if the wedges are the CG15 Tour Zip grooves. I’d say if you’re uncertain go to different shop and get their input. Not sure if you could notice a difference in the grooves between a standard CG15 and the Tour.
Good Luck and let me know what you find!
mediaguru could it be he might be a lefty?
Question…. Seems like you know a lot of information about cleveland wedges. What would be the difference between the CG15 (laser milled) and the CG14 zip grooves.
Thanks for the question! The laser milled technology refers to the lines etched on the metal between the grooves. This gives the club face greater friction. The zip grooves refer to the larger deeper grooves on in the CG15 Wedges. Different technologies resulting in greater backspin.

Seen from afar or studied up close, the exquisite Glacier Grey is a true Torres del Paine highlight. Take in the ice monolith from its lookout point, then come up close and personal on a boat trip that brings you within meters of the intricate puzzle of blue, white, glass and turquoise ice.
Most day excursions follow a trail that leads to a lookout point that affords stunning views of the glacier and offers a sense of its immense size.
Trips may or may not complete the entire walk, as the trail involves several ascents and descents that not everyone will be prepared for. Check with your operator.
Afterwards you’ll board a small boat on Lake Grey to sail among the icebergs right up to the glacier’s ice wall. From up close you’ll see countless hues of blue and impossibly complex ice structures. If you’re lucky you’ll see a glacial calving, where ice breaks off from the constantly moving glacier.
The Southern Patagonian Ice Field is what remains of the ice sheet that covered southern Chile up until the last ice age. Of what was once 500,000 km³ (120,000 miles³) of ice, just 4% remains today. If you look carefully at the tops of the highest mountains you’ll notice the craggy geology looks very different to the smoother valleys below – this boundary marks the highpoint of the original ice sheet.
This is a moderate excursion that takes roughly 6 hours (including the hiking and sailing), and a walk of approximately 11km (7.5 miles). It’s fairly easy going and accessible to most travelers. Some operators will curtail the hiking section and spend more time on the boat.
As with the rest of Patagonia, the weather here is changeable and boat trips may sometimes be cancelled depending on conditions. Trips with fewer than the minimum 10 passengers may also be called off. Check with your operator on their contingency plans.

Hello! Welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps October Release and Blog Hop! Sweet 'n Sassy have added four brand new stamp sets to their line plus four new products from the October Sweet Perks Club to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store!
Today I am using a beautiful set called Name Above All Names. I made two Christmas cards with it. The first one involved embossing - I embossed the image with black powder and watercolored between the lines. It reminds me of a stained glass picture. The background is made by clear embossing the different names of Jesus and sponging with different blue shades of distress inks. I added a strip of vellum and matted everything against a black card base.
The second card is a CAS card using the dove image and just lightly colored with watercolors also. I matted everything with a thin black mat - love the contrast it provides.
I hope you get a chance to hop along with all the other great designers. Their blogs are listed below in the link up.

Books written about life, death and dying, and books for hospice volunteers and caregivers, and people dealing with other life issues.
A U.S. doctor’s examination of the struggles of his profession as the life of his patients draws to a close. It’s an honest book that shows that the goal is to have a good quality life, all the way to the end and the challenges that go along with that.
Towards the end of the book, Dr. Gawande discusses the importance of palliative care and hospice. He shows that it’s not only medicine that is needed at the end of one’s life, but rather a life with some meaning, a life as rich as possible under the circumstances.

No, no, wait--this is good, but it’s literally not so hot. It’s a battery-operated low-temp glue gun, like Martha would use for crafting on airplanes. No, wait, that’s probably not a good idea, either. Look, it’s a really good quality glue gun, takes (4) “AA” batteries, uses 1/4” x 4” glue sticks and measures a portable 5-3/8" long with a 4" handle. Runs approx 170F, perfect for Coffee Shop Crafters (which should be an HGTV series if it’s not already). No plugs! No cords! Great for hobbyists, tinkers, DIYers, teachers, model-makers, crafters and a bunch of other folks. Sticks are not included but try our 4" long low temp sticks. Works on wood, metal, glass, cardboard, paper, card stock, synthetic materials and more. Non toxic, clear drying and non yellowing. Bonds in less than 30 seconds...just ask Billy.
