Texas is just one of 14 states that have yet to expand Medicaid.
Support in Texas is growing to expand Medicaid as opposition drops in other Republican-leaning states working to increase health coverage to the uninsured.
A new poll of adults shows almost two in three, or 64%, support Medicaid expansion in Texas , according to a new statewide survey by the Episcopal Health Foundation. More than 1,200 adults were interviewed from Jan. 3 to Jan. 25 for the analysis.
The poll comes as the Texas legislature weighs whether to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot as four other states have done. Last year, voters in Idaho, Nebraska and Utah voted by ballot initiative to expand Medicaid and Maine did the same in 2017. That means Texas is just one of 14 states that have yet to expand Medicaid.
"Texans say they believe that the state has a role to play in increasing access to health insurance," Episcopal Health Foundation CEO Elena Marks said. "Medicaid expansion is a readily-available solution, especially for all those stuck in the current coverage gap. But Medicaid expansion isn¹t the one and only way to help. Texas lawmakers need to talk about expanding access to affordable health insurance coverage and a way for the state to come up with its own way to get that done."
Nearly 20% of Texans under the age of 65 don’t have health insurance and most of them are working, according to a December report on the state’s uninsured by the Urban Institute that was sponsored by Episcopal Health Foundation. Texas has 4.7 million uninsured, the most people of any other U.S. state without medical coverage under age 65.
But a Democratic legislator who is trying to gain support for the measure is up against a state government dominated by Republicans. In addition, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick “have argued that expanding Medicaid would increase health care costs for the state — especially if the federal government ever breaks its promise to help pay for the surge of newly eligible people,” the Texas Tribune said in a report.
But in the latest Episcopal Health survey there are indications that state residents could be open to allocating more tax dollars to healthcare and Medicaid expansion in particular. Nearly 60% of Texas adults don’t think state government is doing enough to help low-income adults access the healthcare they need.

Pre-game for your next workout with this surprising plan.
Just like runners, boxers, and other athletes, much of the New York Knicks' training takes place off the courts—and in the gym. Before they tackle this strength training plan, designed by Mubarak “Bar” Malik, director of performance for the New York Knicks, they do this innovative warm-up. “Its focus is priming the body to move by emphasizing mobility and stability of the core,” says Malik. In short, it’s a great pre-game for pretty much any workout or sport you have on deck.
You may find it interesting that this routine utilizes a kettlebell, rather than bodyweight. “It's important to use a weighted a kettlebell during the warm-up because the grip and squeezing of the bell engages the nervous system to stabilize itself under resistance, leading to increased total-body awareness,” says Malik. Still, don’t use the same bell you plan to use in the strength routine. “The weight should be lighter during the warm-up, between 10 to 20 pounds,” Malik says.
Before diving in, do a little pre-warm-up with yourfoam roller (to increase blood flow and tissue suppleness) and dynamic stretching to actively elongate muscles, per Malik. Then, perform two sets of six to eight reps of each of the following moves.
Assume a lunge position with your left leg back and a kettlebell in your right hand. Swivel the shin of the left leg in 90 degrees so it's perpendicular to the heel of the standing leg. Raise right arm overhead in an elbow-locked, shoulder-packed position. The bicep of the raised arm should be even with (not touching) your ear. Now, hinge back in the hip of the right leg and drop your left arm to the floor 10 to 12 inches in front of the kneeling knee. You should be looking up at the raised arm. Return to start and repeat on the other side.
Floor press a light kettlebell with your right hand and stretch your left arm on the ground by your head. Use left arm and leg as the axis of rotation and leave the right arm with the kettlebell straight and vertical. Straighten out your right leg and lay it on top of the left. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and toes pointed. Contract your right hip to bring it and right side of chest towards the ground, stretching it away from the kettlebell. Return to start and repeat on the other side.
Floor press a light kettlebell with your right hand and stretch your left arm on the ground by your head. Using left arm and leg as the axis of rotation, leave the right arm with the kettlebell straight and vertical. Keep eyes on kettlebell, contract abs and glutes, and lift legs off the ground for 1-2 seconds. Repeat on the other side.
Lay on the floor with feet flat and knees bent, with the kettlebell in the hand of leg that will stay on the ground. Raise your other leg off the ground, pulling the knee towards the chest. This is the starting position. Driving through the heel, with toes off the ground, and extend your hips off the ground as far as possible. Pause, then return to starting position. Repeat on the other side.
Lay on floor with feet flat and knees bent with the kettlebell in your right hand. Keeping shoulders square on the ground, bring left leg across midline at 90 degrees and press into a foam roller to lock in lumbar spine. Bring left arm up to meet the kettlebell. Actively pressing into the foam roller with the left leg, lower your left arm down away from the kettlebell. Rotate palm and head as you lower arm. Repeat on the other side.

The British Hospitality Association (BHA) is working to clarify a number of points about the cap on business rate rises for the Scottish sector which has now received parliamentary approval.
Announced by finance secretary Derek Mackay in February, the transitional rates relief will apply from 1 April.
It is due to be in effect for one year, covering a wide range of businesses including: hotels, hostels and guest houses; caravan and camping sites; pubs and nightclubs; restaurants; self-catering accommodation and timeshares.
The cap has been welcomed BHA as a major step forward, but executive director for Scotland Willie Macleod said that “as ever, the devil is in the detail”.
“It is important that Scottish businesses understand it is unlikely that there will be any long-term resolution of the rating system as it applies to licensed and hospitality businesses until after the Barclay review of business rates reports in July,” he said.
To qualify for the relief, businesses need to apply by writing to the relevant local authority where their premises are located.
Those with any concerns about their new rateable value are advised by the BHA to take professional advice and lodge an appeal if necessary.

Are you and your pets ready for the “Dog Days of Summer?” With the summer heat comes special considerations to remember when traveling outside with your pet. As responsible pet owners, most people know not to leave pets in hot cars or scorching asphalt and provide plenty of water. But there are also some risks you might have overlooked. Here are a few tips to keep your dog healthy and comfortable next time you go enjoy the summer outside with your pet.
Avoid the high-noon heat: In-between the hours of 11 A.M. and 3 P.M. are considered the peak heat hours of the day. If you have an older pet or one with a thick coat, consider taking walks or engaging in activities before or after these times of day.
Groom your pet the right way: A dog’s coat is sometimes used for protection so keep this in mind before your pets get a summer haircut. Trimming is good, but make sure your pet doesn’t get too close of a shave. Remember, dogs CAN get sunburned and the correct dog grooming technique is important!
Is your lawn pet friendly? In 2010, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center received more than 4,000 calls related to garden toxins. These include herbicides, plants (hydrangea, tulips, azaleas, and lilies), insecticides, mushrooms, fertilizers and cocoa mulch. Weed killers, herbicides, and fertilizers are toxic and can even cause cancer. All a dog or cat has to do is walk on the lawn and lick its paws to be exposed.
Provide ample amount of shade and water: Hydration is key. Both inside and outside pets should have a full water bowl at all times. Water left sitting in the hot sun doesn’t do much good. Pet owners should provide ample amounts of cool (not ice cold) water in shaded areas.
Now that summer’s in full swing it’s more important than ever to keep your pet cool and in the heat for only limited intervals. Remember your pet cannot tell you when they are overheated so make sure to watch their demeanor. Now get outside and enjoy the summer with your pet.

Where is my money held once Invested?
We hold client funds in segregated accounts across a range of major banks, in accordance with the FCA’s client money rules.
Segregated client money is held entirely separate from Newmount’s own money, ensuring that in the event of default by Newmount Trading, client funds will be returned to the clients rather than being treated as a recoverable asset by general creditors of Newmount Trading.
The money is ‘ring-fenced’ in separate bank accounts which are held in trust with the clients as the beneficiaries, and is not mixed with Newmount’s own funds.
What happens to my funds?
Funds transferred from an individual client to Newmount will usually be received directly into a segregated client bank account.
Newmount’s accounts (rather than only being considered client money once it has been placed into a segregated client account).
Newmount Trading uses client money to hedge positions in line with the risk management of each client’s portfolio. Newmount does not initiate speculative positions in the market out of the client’s risk category. Newmount is debt-free, with substantial liquidity and capital reserves significantly in excess of regulatory requirements.
Where does Newmount Trading hold my funds?
All money held on behalf of clients is held in accounts with a diverse range of Investment Houses and Banks.
When a client invests with Newmount Trading they will be categorised as either a retail client, a professional client or an eligible counterparty – and Newmount Trading will inform them of this categorisation. All individual client funds, irrespective of classification, will be segregated, in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules surrounding client money.
The only clients who will not have their funds segregated from Newmount Trading are those professional corporate clients or eligible counterparties who have signed a document consenting to a ’title transfer’ of their funds to Newmount Trading.
What happens if Newmount Trading goes into liquidation?
If Newmount Trading goes into liquidation, clients whose funds were held in segregated accounts would have their share of the segregated money pool returned, minus the administrators’ costs in handling and distributing these funds.
What happens if a bank holding client money on behalf of Newmount Trading goes into liquidation?
Selection of banking counterparties will only take place once a full risk assessment has been undertaken, and all banks are monitored on an ongoing basis and fully reviewed semi-annually, to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements of the FCA’s rules and Newmount’s own policy on banks holding client money.
Any losses would be shared by clients in proportion to their share of the total amount held with a bank which has failed. In the UK, any funds lost as a result of this would be covered by the FSCS under the ‘banks/building societies’ claim category, up to a limit of £75,000 per person per institution.

Sita Sings The Blues is a colourful culture clash that not only melds several different animation styles, but also mixes the story of Rama and Sita (the basis for the Hindu festival, Diwali) with the songs by 20s jazz chanteuse, Annette Hanshaw and episodes from creator Nina Paley's own love life. Paley's take on the Ramayana, may be daringly irreverent on occasion, but it is also utterly unique and completely charming.
This film has not been classified by the BBFC. Into Film suggest the film is engaging for ages 7-11.
Animated Beatles adventure in which the Fab Four find themselves leaving Liverpool aboard a yellow submarine.

It has come to my attention that there has been some disquiet regarding the pact made with me in April of 2006. To be more precise, I have heard through intermediaries of a vote having been taken on Friday, November 2, the Year of My Tormentor 2007, wherein you—that is both you individually and as a group—have, for no reason that I can fathom—suddenly decided you have souls that are worth saving.
Please recall that in return for one elections genius—admittedly a used one, but still able to pull off smashing victories, as you found out to your delight—you, that is both you individually and as a group—sold your souls unto me.
I do not forget that in the past you were moral, upstanding, honest, frugal, serious but with a youthful flair. I also recall that Mr. Koizumi stole every bit of your program (contrary to some of the more colorful monologues of members of your party, Mr. K is not one my employees...though I have a full time position with benefits waiting for him if he ever wants it). This left you with nothing...and after that lovely little bit of business with the email, you had less than nothing.
So you came to me.
I offered to you a toad-faced, weak-constitutioned, LDP Tanaka-faction birthed backroom specialist who had busted up more parties than any of you had ever been a part of (and some of you have been members of quite a few)...and you took my offer.
Now, I am not unfond of irony...but I do take offense at misrepresentation. It seems that some attendees at the Friday evening meeting claimed that as members of the Democratic Party they had an obligation, nay, a duty to oppose the LDP and its political program. Am I right in thinking that the persons making such claims are members of the same so-called Democratic Party that prior to the elections of July, promised farmers subsidies? That did not show outrage at the budgetary implications of their promises? That guaranteed prosperity in every prefecture through government action? That joined hands with the Kokumin Shintō, acquiescing to that party's demand for a joint bill slowing down the privatization of the post office to a crawl?
Which party's traditional policies do these most resemble?
Now as I recall, on July 30 of this year you all looked terribly pleased at the results of your having sacrificed--on the grounds of political expediency--what were once your most sacred principles.
I find your sudden wish to appear virtuous dishonest and frankly offensive.
To whit, your souls shall not be returned. All sales of souls are final.
P.S. I am advised by the Legal Department that self-abnegation, confession of sins and penitence offers hope of salvation...but it is only a hope.
Anyway you did not hear about this from me.
That was very funny. I'd like to hear more from Satan on these pages.

The boundary between life and death continues to be the object of debate despite the fact that “humanity has thoughtfully struggled with the concept and criteria for death for millennia”. The importance and the need to reconsider criteria for the definition of human death and to develop more rigorous ones have increased with advanced medical technologies in resuscitation and life maintenance systems and with the growing demand for organ transplantation. In natural sciences, there is no problem of death: everything what is alive dies. Human death is not the only event in the body, but as an event that occurs in the human being, it is an individual human drama. Thus, the prominence of brain death criteria regarding the interpretation of death and dying reduces the impact of anthropological, psychosocial, cultural, religious, and legal aspects. With its manifestation, the real value and essence of human life is disclosed. The end is an empirical outcome, but the essence lies in the meta-empirical reason.
Following Brugger, “if the brain entirely and irreversibly ceases to function, the organism and, hence, the human being, ceases to be.” By such a biomedical definition of death, “organism death is equated with the death of the being”. The controversy of clinical criteria of death is still being widely debated in scientific literature. Some researchers believe that brain death criteria are only a legal construct without any reference to the metaphysical and even actual biological basis for the determination of death.
One of the core issues has been the implementation of criteria of death into the legislation system regulating organ transplantation and other clinical practices like do-not-resuscitation tactics in intensive care units.
From the historical perspective, neurological criteria of death – better known as brain death – have been defined by the Ad Hoc Committee of the Harvard Medical School in 1968 . The Harvard criteria still “remain an example of simplicity” as they are as follows unreceptivity and unresponsiveness; no movement or breathing; no reflexes; flat electroencephalogram; repetition of all tests at least 24 h later with no change and exclusion of hypothermia or central nervous system depressants.
Meanwhile the neurological criteria for the determination of death were theoretically justified by President’s Commission that in 1981 published the landmark report “Defining Death Medical, Legal and Ethical Issues in the Determination of Death”. In this report, the brain is approached as the regulator of the body’s complex integration: respiration and heartbeat are controlled by brain centers. Accordingly, as it was defined by President’s Commission, death is the moment at which the body loses its complex integration, i.e., “at which the body’s physiological system ceases to constitute an integrated whole”. It is clear, that exposure of Harvard criteria of death and prevalence of organ transplantation launched further discussion on the ethical and practical questions of how to protect patients from irresponsible decisions and avoid medical errors in diagnosis.
Montreal Forum Report for its purpose considered death as a biological event and respectfully recognized the impact of attending religious, ethical, legal, spiritual, philosophical and cultural aspects of death and its determination following the guidelines proposed. In any case, when the analysis of the conception of death takes place, one of the fundamental questions – whether patients with the diagnosis of complete brain death are really dead – remains open. The aim of this review is to discuss metaphysical and biomedical approaches toward death and their complimentary relationship in the determination of death.
There are two main issues related to the philosophical analysis of death what the death is and how to determine the fact of death? These questions clearly separate the ontological and epistemological aspects of death and build a conceptual framework to reveal the problem of death criteria. From the ontological point of view, the conceptual definition of death is important. Among the abundance of definitions, one says that “death is the irreversible extinction of the body’s vital functions” or, for example, “human death is the irreversible loss of one’s personhood”. From the epistemological point of view, in order to conclude the fact of death, certain criteria to find out how it happened, as well as specific clinical measures to assess how these criteria are met, are necessary. Cardiopulmonary and total brain death criteria traditionally remain considered as the main criteria of such knowledge. The definition of an individual’s death is inevitably linked with further questions how the human death is associated with the concept of death of other living creatures; whether human death is only the act of biological nature, i.e., just the death of a physical body, or the concepts of life and death should be linked with the soul matters; or maybe the individual is ontologically neutral, something between life and death; what is the connection between death and the person’s identity.
In the 20th century, the approach to human death was mostly formed by existential philosophy. Heidegger primarily distinguishes death as the exceptional opportunity of human existence. Heidegger emphasizes the difference between death as an actual event and death as personal comprehension. In particular, he states, “The publicness of everyday being-with-one-another ‘knows’ death as a constantly occurring event, as a ‘case of death.’ Someone or another ‘dies,’ be a neighbor or a stranger. People unknown to us ‘die’ daily and hourly”. Accordingly, Heidegger concludes that people have already secured an interpretation for death as an event: “One also dies at the end, but for now one is not involved”.
Derrida deconstructs the existential concept of death. Derrida underlines death as the only situation of human existence (or non-existence) in which individuals find themselves when their subjectivity and individuality reaches maximum. This is the situation when a particular individual is irreplaceable, when he or she completely identifies with himself or herself in the sense that he or she cannot transfer this or her death to someone else: “Death is very much that which nobody else can undergo or confront in my place. My irreplaceability is therefore conferred, delivered, ‘given,’ one can say, by death”. Death provides the human being with the opportunity which he does not have and will not have in his whole life. In this context, Derrida’s insights regarding his perception of death are very important, and the expression my death is identified. What is meant by my death? By Derrida, the expression of my death is “an illusory of the possible meaning of such expression. This does not even embody a particular meaning, and even not has a referent”.
In order to understand or at least to think about the possible meaning of my death, Derrida constructs the concept of difference. Through this concept, a human is able to understand this non-existence in space and time as his/her own and not another one. Then perception of death completes self-cognition and discloses an antinomian nature of death.
Foucault’s approach reflects the transformation of the concept of death, prevailing in the classical medical thinking, which indicates the comprehensible transition from death as a limit or threat to death as interpretation of a source of knowledge. Western European classical epistemology standard means knowledge through concepts that provide a rational understanding of reality, which can be adequately absorbed by mind (the identity of being and thinking). After all, death is nothingness; thus, the question is what kind of concepts can provide an adequate understanding of its effects, because the insufficiency of logical-cognitive instrumentation is obvious. The scientific literature refers to the change of epistemological tactics: from “thinking and the identity of existence” to “thinking and the identity of non-existence.” This means that if the phenomenon of death cannot be recognized in the paradigm of thinking and the identity of existence, the question of attaining death by mind should not be emphasized. On the contrary, the question of the limits of mind should be highlighted. In this sense, homo philosophicus and homo religious is a tandem, which is “forced”. What does that mean? It is crucial for the being to become a general concept, because in this way it [being] is pushed into the transcendence, which ultimately leads to its becoming the entity, and alongside the disappearance of the difference between the entities and the being in general. Only by knowing the entities, we learn something about the being – the presence of the entities allows us to know about the being in general. Being able to see the world in being is to see the non-random nature of the world, to envisage its eternal essence beyond the chaos of outer temporal phenomena. In other words, death can be defined as “the super-empirical transcription of the essence of God into the empirical reality”. Consequently, only the rational-logical instrumentation is not sufficient to know death exhaustively; it requires a transcendent religious dimension. However, specific standards (measurable and observable biomedical criteria) are needed in practical medicine, particularly in decision-making related to emergency care, organ donation, etc.

It's been quite some time since my last tidings post, so I don't think I can cover it all in great detail. I'll try anyway.
The want() function was removed as unimplementable (r27755).
Subroutines without signatures don't always default to (*@_, *%_), only when these variables are actually used (r27801).
infix:</>(Int, Int) now produces a Rat object, that is a fraction.
Rakudo had two releases by people other than Patrick Michaud, namely by me and Kyle Hasselbacher.
Among the highlights are much improved introspection capabilities, user defined traits, user defined and overloadable operators.
Jonathan also worked on the prototype of perl 5 integration into parrot.
Flavio Glock updated mp6 and bootstrapped in on SBCL.
We now have a shiny perl6.org site.

SAN FRANCISCO – A landmark report released today by Common Sense Media finds that teenagers (ages 13-18) use an average of nine hours of entertainment media per day and that tweens (ages 8-12) use an average of six hours a day, not including time spent using media for school or homework.
Despite the significant amount of time teens and tweens spend with media, not all young people use media in the same way. The study, Common Sense Census: Media Use by Tweens and Teens, found that race, class and gender all play a role in how kids are likely to consume media. The report identifies a significant digital equality gap between low-income kids who are far less likely to have access to computers, tablets and smartphones than their wealthier peers. However, those low-income kids who do have access are more likely to spend more time on their devices than kids from more affluent families.
Common Sense Census: Media Use by Tweens and Teens also finds major differences in media preferences between boys and girls. For example, teen boys average 56 minutes a day playing video games, compared to girls’ 7 minutes and teen girls spend 40 minutes more a day than boys on social media (1:32 vs. 52 minutes).
Black youth report spending substantially more time with media than white or Hispanic youth. For example, among teens, blacks use an average of 11:10 worth of media a day, compared to 8:51 among Hispanics and 8:27 among whites (a difference of 2:19 between blacks and Hispanics, and 2:43 between blacks and whites).

Annie Wersching hosted an FBI instructional video about CCTV security cameras created by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division. The video was twenty minutes long but here’s all of Annie’s parts.
As a business owner, you already know that “CCTV”, closed circuit television, can help deter or solve a crime on your premises. You’re about to see that they can do even more. Your CCTV system might even help solve a terrorist attack. That is, if it’s up to the task. Basic setup and maintenance problems reduce the performance of many systems. So, what about yours?
Do your cameras provide enough resolution for facial recognition? Are they positioned for a clear view of the subject? Is the lighting adequate to capture clear images both day and night? Is your recorder set up for the best image detail? Are you maintaining and managing your system so that it can do its job when it’s really needed?
We’re gonna show you how to get the most from your CCTV system and that starts with capturing recognition quality images‚ with the detail law enforcement needs to identify the people and events captured by your cameras.
We hope this video makes a difference in the way you think about and operate YOUR CCTV system. If you’re gonna do it, do it right. For yourself; for law enforcement; and your community. For a quick review, along with more details on CCTV operations, set up and maintenance, click on the special features section of this DVD. I’m Annie Wersching. Thanks for watching.

Felt Alive Needle Felting Tips - The Use and Care of Felting Needles.
Felting Needles are mysterious little tools borrowed from the non-woven fabric industry. They are sharp, barbed needles used to manufacture things like the thick felted fiber lining in car trunks, carpet padding, industrial filter fabric and even toilet paper!
Made of steel, felting needles are precision tools designed to fit into machines that hold thousands of needles, stabbing them into fiber millions of times before getting dull. With each stab, the barbs on the blades tangle and compress loose fiber into a solid mass; the more stabs, the denser the mass. The same theory applies to hand-felting but the needles have some drawbacks when used outside to the machines they were designed for. Using them for needle felting requires a few precautions to keep them from breaking and to keep them from injuring you.
Felting Needles are very, very sharp and easily pierce through skin. And because they are fragile and break easily (rendering them useless,) felting needles can potentially be the costliest part of your needle felting expenses. But if you are careful and learn how to use the needles correctly, a felting needle can last for months or even years with regular use and you can avoid painful puncture wounds.
One of my students needle felted for the first time at a live Felt Alive Workshop where the first lesson was the use and care of needles. She must have paid careful attention because she needle felts quite regularly and has not broken one needle (nor has she injured herself) in her first year of needle felting. (Go Barbara!) I feel very strongly that needle felting should not be a blood-sport. I also believe that felting needles should last at least through several projects so I've put together tips and tricks I hope will be helpful to everyone.
Set up your needle felting work space at table with good lighting and make sure you are in a comfortable chair.
Secure your foam pad. Foam is slippery on a smooth tabletop so if you find your pad slips around as you work, use a piece of rubber shelf liner under your pad to hold it in place.
Make sure your project stays on your pad while you work. While It is very tempting to hold your work in your hand while you needle felt, the needles are very sharp and travel right through wool and into flesh so it's best to let your felting pad take the brunt of that.
While felting, maintain a light grip on the needle and work at a relaxed pace; it's far easier on your needles (and on your fingers) than stabbing away in a hurried or frantic pace. Besides, it can hurt pretty bad and even draw blood when you stab your finger going at super-sonic speeds with a tight, white-knuckled grip on the needles. So it's best to avoid that.
Avoid piercing too deeply. Like super-sonic felting, super-deep felting is also very hard on needles. It is also hard on your foam pads and your poor fingers should they get in the way. Try to avoid piercing all the way through your work as much as possible and learn to control where the tip of your needle is going at all times.
Always be aware of the location and the direction of the sharp tip of your felting needle. Most of the time it will be buried in your project and you can't see it so make sure your other hands and fingers stay out of its path.
Here is a big tip to avoid breaking your needles - whatever angle you pierce your needle into your project, keep it at that angle until you pull it out. Piercing in and prying even slightly will most certainly leave a sharp, broken felting needle tip buried inside your project. How you get it out depends on how resourceful you are. Strong magnets and surgery have been known to be used. I recommend using a strong sewing needle if you need to pry or tug on your felting project and save your felting needles for felting - I keep one or two at my felting table at all times.
The density or firmness of your project can cause needle breakage. I don't believe there are any hard and fast rules about felt density. Some people felt very soft - needle felting just enough to hold the wool together and some prefer to keep poking until the wool is firmly felted. Others (like me) do a combination - noses, chins and foreheads on my dolls tend to be dense while cheeks remain soft. If you tend to make your projects very firm overall, you are likely to break more needles. Using finer gauge needles on dense areas helps.
Use the right felting needle for the task at hand. For example; you are more likely to break a fine needle if you use it instead of a coarse needle for attaching parts. Or if you feel resistance as your work gets denser, switching to a finer gauge that will pierce into the wool easier with less strain on your felting needle.
Needle felting over wire armatures is not something I do every day but the few times I've done it I've broken more needles that I care to admit. It takes lots of practice to avoid hitting the wire with your felting needle as you felt around it. Make sure you have extra needles on hand if you plan to felt over wire.
Felting needles break but they also bend. If your felting needle develops a bend you can certainly keep using it until it eventually gets weak and breaks. But if you try to straighten it I can nearly guarantee it will snap immediately.
Needle felting doesn't require much force so the jabbing motion of the needle should come from your hand and wrist, rather than your whole forearm, elbow and shoulder being involved. I like to rest the side of my hand/wrist on my felting pad as I gently jab the needle, feeding my project into my needle with my opposite hand. This is much easier on you and your needles than holding your project stationary with your hand and arm over your project hammering down with the needle.
Use a felting stick (aka lollipop sticks or wooden skewers) to hold small parts in place as you attach them - your fingers will thank you.
I've mentioned this already but it bears repeating. Keep a strong, sharp sewing needle on hand - it's not used for sewing but for pulling, tugging, prying or otherwise manipulating your wool. Remember, it only takes one wrong move to break your felting needle so if you attempt to do any of this with your needle you will likely hear that dreaded 'snap' sound and will need to replace your felting needle.
Put your needles away when you are done felting. If you walk away and leave them stuck in your felting pad, they are in peril - especially if you don't have a dedicated space and felt at the kitchen table. I can't tell you how many times my foam pad loaded with needles has fallen on the floor, or something has fallen on it, breaking several needles at once. ...sad and preventable.
Finally, paying attention to what you are doing is very important. Distractions often lead to accidents.
I hope these tips help keep your felting needle tips (and your fingertips) in working order! Learning to slow down, relax and needle felt with a soft touch is my best advice for anyone but especially for those who tend to break a lot of needles.
Felt Alive Color-Coded Felting Needles in Single, Double and Quad Points for Super-Duper Needle Felting!
Since felting needles are designed for machines and not for human hands, they aren't that comfortable to use. They have an "L" shaped end for securing to a machine and they are smooth and rather slippery.
Here at Felt Alive we coat the ends of high-quality industrial felting needles in colorful rubber; color-coding the different gauges while forming a cushioned grip. Felt Alive Color-Coded Felting Needles are far more comfortable to use than plain industrial needles. They help you maintain a nice, relaxed grip on your needles, which for me, reduces fatigue allowing me to felt longer.
Felt Alive Color-Coded Felting Needles are available in variety of gauges in single, double and quad points. That's right - two and even four needles in one! My favorite all-purpose felting needle is my single point yellow 40t Super-Duper Needle. The double point yellow 40t is a really fabulous tool because it felts faster than the single point and two needles together seem a bit stronger than a single needle all alone. For flat felting or finishing the surface of large pieces, with 4 needles in one, the Quad Point Blue 40 star is an amazing tool!
We've been making Felt Alive Color-Coded Felting Needles since 2008. We started out producing them for a needle felting kit that accompanied my first Felt Alive Needle Felting Tutorial. Since that time they have become a favorite and trusted tool for professional and hobby needle felters around the world. They are included in all of the needle felting kits that accompany my line-up of Felt Alive Video Workshops. It's easy to follow my instructions with color-coded felting needles from Felt Alive.
Industrial Felting Needles are precision tools that come in many, many different sizes (gauges) and blade/barb configurations including variations in the shank, taper, blade, barbs and point of the needles. The crank is the 'L' shaped end. These needles are developed for specific industrial uses, none of which include hand-felting. Through trial and error, I've picked out my favorites that seem to work the best for the different applications I might need them for. Here are the whats and whys of my Felt Alive Color-Coded Felting Needles.
Yellow 40t - this is a fine gauge felting needle with a triangle-shaped blade with three edges. There are two barbs on each blade edge. The 40t tangles (felts) wool fast and pierces into dense projects with ease. This is my favorite needle that I use for all purpose needle felting. Or as I love to say - "I could needle felt the world with these babies!"
Our Yellow 40t Color-Coded Felting Needles are available in single, double and quad point. (the double yellow is my favorite double point felting needle - I use it when first starting to needle felt a shape as it speeds things up considerably. I switch back and forth between the single and double point yellow needles often - using the double point when I don't need as much fine control.
Our Red 38 star Color-Coded Felting Needles are available in single, double and quad point. My favorite red needle is the double point - it helps me tame down the fuzzies of a large surface area in a hurry without flattening my work.
Blue 40 star - this is a fine needle with a star-shaped blade with 4 edges. What makes this needle so unique is that even though there are 4 blade edges, there are only two barbs total on each needle so it pierces easily into dense, fully felted wool without leaving visible holes behind. (I've discovered it's all the barbs on the other gauges that leave the visible needle holes in the surface of my projects.) Both barbs are very close to the point making this a fabulous tool for surface design. I use it for finishing the needle felted eyes of my dolls- it felts the surface without felting down the shape. It is also invaluable to me as a blush and shading tool for the faces of my dolls. I can lay on wisps of the finest merino roving and nearly paint it on with the gentle touch of the blue 40 star needle.
Our Blue 40 star Color-Coded Felting Needles are available in single, double and quad point. The blue quad is my favorite quad point needle. It's great for finishing the surface of large projects and I've been told it's fabulous for flat tapestry felting.
Black 36t is a coarse gauge felting needle with a triangle-shaped blade with three edges and two barbs on each blade edge. This needle is a bit longer and stronger than the others and can take a little more abuse without breaking. It's isn't quite as sharp as some of the others and I think it is a great choice for kids learning to needle felt; it gives very fast results while minimizing the risk of needle breakage and finger jabs. You don't get the fine control because it grabs and pushes more wool, it leaves large holes and tends to flatten your projects. The main use I have for a 36t is for attaching parts - it's unbeatable when I need to attach a head to a body - it pushes wool from one part into another and helps strengthen the structure of my needle felted dolls.
Our Black 36t Color-Coded Felting Needles are available in single point only.

TGC Championship: the 3 days that had everything!
The fabulous weather over the past few months decided to come to a crashing end on the first day of The Golf College (TGC) Championship at Lindfield Golf Club, as torrential rain flooded the hard-baked course.
Just as the Mixed division came through the turn, the 11-13 division half way round the front 9 and the 6 & Under category just setting off, play was initially suspended for an hour.
This left the clubhouse packed with players and parents waiting for decisions over whether rounds would be continued or, for some, whether they would even see the course on Day 1.
After a dry spell during the delay, the course was checked and seemed to be draining well, so players were sent back out to resume their rounds and new times allocated to later starters.
However, within 15 minutes the heavens opened again and with the course instantly saturated, following advice from TGC, the decision was taken to abandon play for the day.
What a difference a day makes…Saturday morning saw beautiful conditions, leaving everyone to delight in the great British weather!
Day 2 had to be reworked, meaning that the 18-hole players were back bright and early at 7.30 am to resume and conclude their rounds, with the Mixed division playing the back 9 to complete their rounds and the 11-13s finishing the front 9, as their round 1 was reduced to 9 holes.
With Day 1 being abandoned, 9-hole players faced a long Saturday playing Rounds 1 and 2 on the same day, with a very short break in-between.
Second rounds commenced at 10.30 am, with the 11-13s out first, followed by the Mixed division, then Round 1 for the 9-hole players.
The younger groups just had time to post their scores from round 1 and grab a bite to eat before heading straight back to the first tee for round 2.
The final groups of the 7-8 division and first 6 & Under players had a bit of a shock, as our Tour Ambassador, Harry Judd, McFly drummer and Strictly Come Dancing winner, was there on the first tee to see them off.
Having been amazed at the quality, Harry headed out with England Golf Young Ambassador, Jessica Pilgrim (we don’t think that she was too unhappy with the job!), on a buggy to see some of the play out on the course.
Harry then stayed to hand out the trophies for Days 1 and 2, meaning plenty of opportunity for players (and parents!) to get photos.
We’d like to thank Harry for his time on the day; he was hugely impressed with the golf on display, and couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating to everyone – a fantastic BJGT Ambassador!
The forecast for Day 3 wasn’t great, so it left everyone wondering what they would be faced with come Sunday morning, and the answer…pretty perfect conditions again, with a moderate breeze to keep it interesting!
A slightly later start was appreciated, as play got underway at 9.30 am, with players under strict instructions to get round as quickly as possible to make the most of the dry weather.
Only a few spots of rain fell late in the day as the 6 & Under groups finished off their round, but this couldn’t dampen their usual enthusiasm or excitement at having completed their 3-day, 27-hole tournament.
The 6 & Under division, as always, came right down to the last hole, but was won by Dylan Barney with a 3-round total of 117, a single shot ahead of Sebastian Duffield, with Sully Donald in 3rd. Georgia Groves took the girls’ title, on her BJGT debut.
Nikolai Wilding, returning to the BJGT, claimed a fine win in the 7-8 division with a 3-round total of 110, ahead of Zach Wheeler in 2nd and Muhammad-Ammaar Mirza in 3rd. Sapphire Boyce took the girls’ title on 142, ahead of Caitlin Ross.
The fiercely competitive 9-10 division was headed by Ben Sessions on a brilliant 121, ahead of Ronnie Groves (130) and Luca Randall (133). Zoe McLean-Tattan claimed the girls’ title on 140, ahead of Lila-Belle Nacca in 2nd on 145.
Tyler Weaver produced three solid rounds to post a total of 181 to take the 11-13 title, ahead of OOM leader Jack Lee in 2nd on 190, with Micah Blowers, playing his first BJGT event of the season, in 3rd on 193.
The Mixed division Net title deservedly went to Ciara Egan, with a -12 total of 198, ahead of Mark Stockdale on 203.
Ciara’s good form over the three days also saw her top the Girls’ Gross table ahead of Jessica Brown.
Nerves were definitely jangling for the headline Mixed division Gross title, as it all came down to the 18th hole on Sunday, just as we’d hoped!
Xavier Schwarz just held off a charge by Max Weaver, to claim the win by one shot, on his return to the BJGT after a number of years, with a 3-round total of 225, with Max on 226 and Tayan Wagjiani on 228.
All the players deserve huge credit for coping with the rain, followed by delays, waiting around, abandoned play, catching up, and still producing a thrilling event; we hope that they all learned a lot – this is why we are here!
Our thanks go to Lindfield GC, their clubhouse staff and green keepers, and The Golf College, for their hospitality over the 3 days; they let us take over and make all the necessary changes in order to complete the event – not many clubs out there would be willing to do this for a junior golf event!
We very much look forward to this becoming a firm fixture in the junior golfing calendar!

GAIBANDHA, Aug 11, 2017 (BSS) – The construction work of Inclusive Sanitation Complex started at Rawshanbag High School under Palashbari upazila in the district on Thursday amid much enthusiasm among students and teachers.
SKS Foundation, a non-government organisation, is constructing the complex under Wash in School Project with the financial support of Water Aid, said officials concerned.
Deputy Speaker of the Jatiya Sangshad Advocate Fazle Rabbi Miah formally inaugurated the construction work laying the foundation stone of the complex in the afternoon as the chief guest.
Speaking at the function, Fazle Rabbi Miah said the complex would help the students practice sanitation activities properly which is a must to build a better society and healthy nation as well.
He also thanked the authorities concerned for taking the initiative to construct such the complex for the students.
Later, the deputy speaker also planted a sapling of flower tree on the school ground. Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) M Tofazzal Hossain, Upazila Secondary Education Officer Abdur Rahman, Chairperson of school managing committee (SMC) Sardar M Shaahid Hasan Loton, head teacher Mostakim Billah, Assistant Director of SKS Foundation Khandkar Jahaid Sarwar, Project Manager Rezaul Haque Mondal, members of school committee as well as teachers were present on the occasion.
Project Manager Rezaul Haque Mondal said they were working at 62 academic institutions of the upazila to provide hand washing facilities to the students and make them aware of the necessity of sanitation.

The Samsung Gear S4 is the next wearable that will be released by Samsung and all users are keeping an eye out for news. There are plenty of rumours and leaks and they are quite exciting. We managed to take a look at all of them and we are here to share with you the latest news about the Samsung Gear S4.
The upcoming Gear S4 might have a different name. According to several reports, the Samsung watch will be named Galaxy Watch. This could be a clear sign that Samsung is ready to use Android for its device, as the handsets that use Android are sold under the Galaxy name.
If we take a look back at the Gear S2 we can see that the starting price was $299 for the Sport model, while the Classic model costs $349. Meanwhile, the S3 also used the $349 for the Classic version, and it came with a new Frontier model which had the $349 price for the base model.
If we try to anticipate the launch price of the Gear S4 it will be a bit more difficult. There have been many reports which indicated that there will be two different models, and they might be available in two different sizes.
We do not know for sure what will be the size for the LTE and the non-LTE models. The upcoming Gear S4 should also have a Frontier and a Classic version. Therefore, it is safe to say that the base price will be somewhere above $349. The prices should not go too high as the product should remain a rival for the Apple Watch.
Back at the IFA 2015 the Samsung Gear S2 Classic and Sport were announced. The tech show took place in Berlin on August 31, and the products were available for sale in the United States on October 2. The same thing happened for the Samsung Gear S3 Classic and Frontier. They were also revealed at the IFA, which took place on August 31 the following year. These models became available for pre-order in the United States on November 6 and they were launched on November 18. Things were pretty similar for the Gear Sport as well.
Therefore, it is safe to say that the Samsung Gear S4 will be unveiled on August 31 this year, and we can expect an October launch.

Already our parents had a holiday apartment. We really enjoyed getting to know different guests, spending nice hours with them and having good conversations.
Our apartment is brand new, with a large living-dining-kitchen area, a separate bedroom and a nice bathroom. A large terrace and a covered parking space complete the offer. In addition, the "Klause am Grünen Hof" is barrier-free - even wheelchair users are welcome!
Here you will find everything you need for a vacation stay, as a business traveler or for a mumbo-site. The new high quality kitchen leaves nothing to be desired. The proximity to the historic city center of Friesoythes, the city park and the regional roads make up the plus of the location.
We - the landlords - are open to all guests.
We are happy to fulfill your special wishes, be it that you would like to find a small supply of food or drinks upon arrival, or that we would like to help you organize day trips.
And if there are three of you - we'll get that too!

The RPF helped the passenger get his precious belongings back.
Human error can cause slips, and this happens when you least expect it. A slight drop in vigilance has the potential to snowball into a catastrophe. Being alert at all times is especially relevant for those who travel by train.
However, sometimes, help comes from the unlikeliest and unexpected sources.
On Tuesday, Kalkan resident, Rajaram More, accidentally left 982 LIC insurance cheques and documents, amounting to Rs 25 crore, on a 12:53 p.m. fast local from Kalyan to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. When he realised that he had forgotten the bag, he hurriedly approached the RPF outpost in Dadar and the station master’s office.
Rajaram More forgot his bag in a local train, and approached the RPF for help. Representative image only. Image Courtesy: Wikimedia Commons.
The RPF immediately swung into action and began monitoring the train’s movement. When it reached Dadar, two constables went to check for the bag. Luckily for More, the bag was intact. The relieved commuter was informed and asked to come collect his belongings.
This isn’t the first time the RPF has promptly reunited a distraught passenger with his extremely valuable belongings. Read the nail-biting story of how a passenger got back a bag containing jewellery worth lakhs, over here.
While travelling on a train, or in fact any public transport, it is advisable to keep your belongings as close to you as possible. The one easy way to do that would be to carry a backpack as it is easier to carry heavy loads on your back, and you will always be conscious of wearing it, so it is difficult to forget.
If you do happen to misplace something, call 182 and speak to the RPF and tell them your issue. You can also call 1800-111-139. If you cannot get through these numbers, tweet @RailMin, with your PNR, contact details and complaint.
The RPF always tries its best in helping commuters in trouble, but as a responsible commuter, it would be prudent to save yourself and the authorities from unnecessary hassles!

What's Your Drivers' Ed Horror Story?
The very concept of drivers’ education is completely mind boggling. Take three or four of the worst, most inexperienced drivers. Give them raging teenage hormones. Now stick them in a car with an instructor who probably doesn’t care, and just wants to escape with their life.
If it wasn’t a necessary evil for the lifeblood of driving freedom, I imagine everyone would refuse to do it.
But drivers’ ed is where weird things happen. Where a 16-year-old gets a car stuck in a situation you previously thought physically impossible. Where you fear you’re constantly going to die. Where the instructor took an hour out of every four hour session (spread among four teenage idiots) to make us drive to his house, where he’d just get out of the car and walk... away, I guess. I dunno, that happened to me. We don’t know where he’d go. He wouldn’t say a word about it. Or why we stopped there. Was it even his house???
Anyways, drivers’ ed is full of weirdness, oddities, and truly terrifying situations. What’s your worst story? Leave it in the comments below – and remember, no names!

I first got involved in R after going to a very technical talk. I had no idea what the code meant at the time but I was inspired enough to teach myself to code. That career change led me to exploring and using spatial packages in R.
Hirini is one of our Travel Grant Receipients. We owe thanks to OSGeo for their financial support and advice which made the Travel Grant Program possible.
My work within the geospatial community is part of a growing interest by indigenous people worldwide to have more of a say in ways that their ancestral landscapes are mapped. It also stems from a tertiary education in archaeology where GIS is utilised heavily.

anton decided to paint one of his bedroom walls, last month.
he had already moved all the furniture away when we had the idea of doing a time-lapse, so we put everything back to normal, set up the camera, and started from the beginning.
the video was created using my sony cybershot f828 and the jg-rc2 intervalometer.

Welcome to The Kings Heath Horse Show website.

Comments by Fischer and Dudley underscore the divergence theme; reaffirming the signal by Fed leadership that a mid-2015 rate hike is still "reasonable". The disinflationary impulse from the drop in energy prices is temporary. Instead, they emphasized the growth implications.
There has been a backing up of US interest rates too. The 2-year yield is near 55 bp, which is the upper end of the range seen in recent weeks, and represents a 10 bp increase since Monday's lows. There is increased speculation that the "considerable period" phrase in the Fed's statement is likely to be diluted or dropped as early as this month. Meanwhile, the 10-year yield is near 2.30%, which is a 15 bp increase since Monday's lows.
In Europe, the service PMI was slightly disappointing at 51.1 from 51.3 of the flash and 52.3 in October. Germany was unchanged from the flash (52.1) but France's downward revision wipes out the improvement that the flash suggested. France's service PMI slipped to 47.9 from 48.8 of the flash and 48.3 in October.
The pleasant surprise came from Italy. The November service PMI rose to 51.8 from 50.8. The consensus was for 50.2. Spain disappointed. The service PMI fell to 52.7 from 55.9. The market had expected a smaller decline to 55.2.
In addition, the euro area October retail sales in October rose 0.4%, slightly less than expected, and managed to retrace only a small part of the 1.2% decline in September (was initially -1.3%). This week's data provides a poor backdrop for tomorrow's ECB meeting. Everyone agrees that the ECB staff is going to cut its forecasts again and the Draghi will be dovish. This goes practically without saying. The key issue is whether the ECB expands the assets it is purchasing (to include supra-nationals, like EU, EIB, EFSF, ESM bonds like we think are "low hanging fruit), or does it announce its intentions to buy sovereign bonds, as some expected.
The market took the Australian dollar lower in response to the poor Q3 GDP figures. The economy expanded by 0.3% on the quarter, less than half the pace the consensus expected. The RBA statement earlier this week had spurred a reassessment of a rate cut the market was pricing in for next year. However, today's weak growth figures have seen such pressure renew. However, ahead of tomorrow retail sales and trade balance reports, the interest rate adjustment is modest. The 2-year yield is off 5 bp today to 2.38%. It had reached 2.45% earlier in the session. The low before the RBA meeting was near 2.36%. This level should be taken out as a cut is further discounted.
China reported service PMIs. The official one ticked up to 53.9 from 53.8. The HSBC measure also ticked up, from 52.9 to 53.0. It does not impact expectations that the PBOC is likely to cut the reserve requirements in the next week or so. The dollar has quietly firmed against the yuan and reached almost CNY6.1550 today, its highest since late September. Because of the yuan shadows the dollar, despite the flexibility the PBOC claims to have introduced, the yuan has appreciated on a trade-weighted basis. It will continue to do so, even if it edges lower against the dollar.
The North American session will be busy. The Bank of Canada meets and expects to leave rates on hold. We look for the Bank of Canada's statement to emphasize that it is looking through the pick up in price pressures as transitory. There are three US reports to note: ADP, ISM services and the Beige Book. Note too that UK's Osborne will make the Autumn Statement (budget). Separately, the Funding for Lending Scheme, which aims at increasing credit to small and medium-sized businesses, extends for another year.

While Hamas welcomed the recent statements made by Qatari Ambassador Mohammed al-Emadi regarding support for the Gaza Strip, it denounced Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir’s accusation that Hamas is an extremist movement, which shows a new alignment in the region.
The head of a Qatari delegation to Gaza, Mohammed al-Emadi (L), meets with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza City, Gaza, on Sept. 25, 2012.
After Hamas had been absent from Arab officials’ media statements, supporting and opposing Arab officials issued several political statements during the last week of February, prompting Hamas to respond with both positive and negative statements. Hamas has been seeking to stay away from the tension plaguing the region, but the Palestinian cause seems to form an integral part of the regional disputes.
During a conference in the Gaza Strip on Feb. 25, Mohammed al-Emadi, Qatar’s ambassador to Gaza and the chairman of Qatar's Gaza Reconstruction Committee, blamed the Palestinian Authority, Egypt and Israel for the worsening economic situation in Gaza. Following Emadi's arrival in Gaza on Feb. 19, Hamas lauded Qatar's positions and assistance to the Palestinian people.
Meanwhile, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Feb. 24 in a speech to the European Parliament in Brussels that Hamas was an extremist movement. He accused Qatar of allowing Hamas to raise funds and spread hatred. On the same day, Hamas denounced Jubeir’s statement and said it was aimed at encouraging Israel to commit crimes against the Palestinian people.
He said, “We are seeking to strengthen our relations with all of the countries and actors supporting our just cause in both the region and the world and defending our legitimate right to resist the occupation and liberate our lands and holy sites."
Hamas’ welcoming of the Qatari ambassador’s speech and condemnation of the Saudi minister's statement are proof of the state of polarization facing the movement in light of the Arab differences plaguing the region.
Emadi said Feb. 25 that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were working on dealing a blow to his country on the grounds that it provided help to the Gaza Strip.
Jubeir announced on June 6 of last year that Qatar should stop supporting Hamas. And on Nov. 20, he called on Qatar to abandon the movement in order for Egypt to be able to achieve reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah. Saudi Ambassador to Algeria Sami al-Salih described Hamas as a terrorist movement on July 12.
Last year, Emadi had said that the total cost of projects implemented by Qatar in the Gaza Strip between 2012 and 2017 amounted to $500 million. Qatar's Gaza Reconstruction Committee has repeatedly said that its projects in Gaza contributed to the running of 65 Palestinian companies, thus benefiting 100,000 Palestinian professional and technical cadres. In July 2016, the Qatar Red Crescent announced the implementation of $1.5 million worth of health projects in Gaza. During that period, Qatar implemented housing and building projects, constructed 1,000 housing units and rehabilitated agricultural buildings and laboratories.
He added, “Qatar and Hamas are friends, not partners. And Hamas’ regional options are not limited to Qatar, as they include Egypt and Iran among others."
A banner reading “Thank you, Qatar” was hung at al-Katiba Square in western Gaza City on Feb. 24 along with pictures of Qatari Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, his father Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Emadi.
On Feb. 25, the Alliance of Palestinian Forces condemned Jubeir’s attack on Hamas and said his statements were dictated by the United States in the context of Saudi Arabia’s direct alliance with Israel. The alliance also condemned Jubeir’s attempt at misleading Arab public opinion in favor of Israel and distorting the image of the Palestinian resistance.
Saudi political researcher Abdul Hameed al-Hakeem attacked Hamas in a Feb. 25 tweet calling on the movement to choose between the trench of peace with Israel and the trench of what he termed "the Iranian Nazi regime."
In March 2017, Palestinian Minister of Public Works and Housing Mufid al-Hasayneh announced a grant worth $80 million from Saudi Arabia for the reconstruction of Gaza. In February 2016, Saudi Arabia provided $59 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees to implement projects in Gaza, the West Bank and Jordan.
Hamas may have realized that its foreign relations are moving in a minefield and is consequently trying to avoid potential crises with certain states. This is why it is running its positions very delicately out of fear of raising the ire of certain capitals.
On Feb. 24, Emadi accused Egypt of making money out of helping Gaza with Egyptian fuel oil, which it started selling to the Palestinians in June 2017. The diesel was trucked into into Gaza at a price of 3.5 Israeli shekels per liter, equivalent to $1, while its international value was 1.8 Israeli shekels. He also said Egypt was selling bad cement to the Gaza Strip.

I try very hard not to let my emotions get the better of me, particularly at work.
Yesterday I failed horribly when I reacted poorly to a situation in which I felt as though I was being portrayed in an unfavorable way.
Then someone else reminded me that my emotional reaction was stooping to the same level as the person bothering me and I just needed to let it go and let it be.
The advise was just what I needed to hear.
Not only is it a great message, it always makes me smile.

100% drug free, natural bodybuilding, figure, physique and bikini competition.
Most Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure and Bikini Events follow the same basic schedule. The first event of most competitions is the competitors meeting, the competitors meeting is mandatory and will help explain the flow of the show to all the competitors. They explain how the figure, bikini and men’s physique competitors should walk on stage, the mandatory poses they want from the bodybuilders, fit body and basic stage presence. They also explain the judging process, all-in-all it’s a run down on exactly what to expect during and from the show. The next event is usually morning show/prejudging, prejudging consists of all the competitors in a class/division entering the stage together, then the judges direct them through a series of poses, and many times have different competitors step back and some step forward and are even rearranged to be compared better to different competitors. This is when the judges start to rank each competitor. The final event is the night show/finals, the night show is all for the audience and is when the seats get filled. During the night show each competitor comes out on stage and performs his/her routine and/or stage walk and medals and placings are announced. At the very end there is usually an overall competition and the overall winners many times earn a WNBF pro card.

Becoming an entrepreneur is not as simple as it sounds. The real deal lies on being successful at whatever business you do. However, for all the struggles you will pass through, the golden crown “Financial independence” awaits you.
The big question remains, how do you master the art of entrepreneurship? In this informative piece, we are going to walk you through 3 Secrets to mastering entrepreneurship.
You will learn what it takes to be on top of your game and grow your business effectively. These tips will not only help you become a successful entrepreneur but a better person generally.
Positivity is the difference between 6 and half-a-dozen. Before you decide to quit your 9-5 life for entrepreneurship, you must see the light in working for yourself.
A positive mindset is an invaluable tool every entrepreneur must possess to be able to make a difference. Although positive mindset does not equal success, negativity will not get you anywhere.
Positive people poses better energy. Thus they see the light at the end of every tunnel in every situation. They have more willpower and can withstand any negative situation without losing focus.
According to science, the Dispositional effect is a person’s natural ability to see things either positively or negatively. Research has shown that people with positive dispositional affect have better ability to solve problems and wriggle out of difficult situations easily.
These set of people have more energy towards life and see things clearly in every situation. If you have this trait, then you should harness it effectively because you will need it as an entrepreneur.
However, if you find it difficult to see things positively, you can learn to do so. Just like a bad habit, you can get rid of negativity by developing yourself. Work on your perception towards life, and you will be amazed how fast you will let go of negativity.
Leaving your 9-5 job to become an entrepreneur doesn’t mean you will no longer get to work again.
It means you will now work more for yourself, but you will keep working. For you to master the art of being your own boss, you need to put in more work than everybody else. That’s how you get something you want.
Putting in that extra time for your goal or dream will get you to it faster than you planned. With the right work ethics, you can easily overcome most challenges you would face as an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurship is all about self-development. Working for someone else means growing another person’s dream, but when you grow your own business, you are chasing your dreams.
You need to invest in your success by developing yourself. You can do this by reading books, attending special classes and seminars that add value to your life. This way you will grow yourself every day and in turn grow your business too.
Mastering the art of entrepreneurship is the key to becoming successful as an entrepreneur. You need to be on the quest for growth and improvement continuously. Follow us on annettapowell.com for tips on how to grow your business.

Researchers in the United States say pictures make the health warning labels on cigarette packets more memorable.
In a study of 200 smokers, researchers found images of patients on ventilators made smokers more likely to take notice of the health warnings, which are currently displayed on cigarette packets.
Writing in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the team said that 83% of study participants were able to remember the health warning if it was accompanied by a graphic image.
Only half of study subjects were able to remember the warnings if they saw them only as text.
The research team from the University of Pennsylvania measured how long smokers spent viewing each part of a cigarette advertisement containing warning labels, using eye-tracking technology.
Participants were asked to write down the warnings they had viewed after looking at them, in an attempt to gauge how well they remembered the information contained in them.
They found a link between the accuracy of the smoker's memory and the speed with which their eyes were drawn to the text, as well as the length of time they spent looking at the related image.
Faster readers who looked at images for longer remembered the warnings more accurately, they said.
According to study lead author Andrew Strasser, associate professor at the department of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the findings are important because they showed the value of adding a graphic warning label.
The study also provides valuable insight into how the warning labels may be effective, which may serve to create more effective warning labels in the future, he said.
It is hoped that, if people are better informed about the risks of smoking, that such labels may prompt them to quit.
The UK government is in the middle of a consultation process over whether to legislate to force tobacco companies to sell cigarettes only in plain, standardised packaging.
Possible outcomes may be cigarettes packaged plainly, with no branding, a uniform colour for all cigarette packets, or standard font, text and images on each packet.
While the tobacco industry initially welcomed the consultation, it said there was no evidence that plain packaging stopped young people from taking up habit in the first place.
According to Jaine Chisholm Caunt of the Tobacco Manufacturers' Association, the government should drop the idea, because it made it easier to make counterfeit cigarettes. The association said standardised packaging would also make life harder for logistics companies and standard retailers who were selling tobacco legally.
However, as only Australia has legislated to require the use of plain packaging so far, there is unlikely to be any data for analysis for some time to come, as the move is still a recent one.

Suspension Training makes women's fitness fun and effective and it's a great way to strengthen a women's upper body. Using their own body weight, women can strengthen their muscle fibers as they work at a variety of angles which is challenging and puts tension on the muscles so they contract faster. These upper body workouts are designed for quick repetitions, leaving little time to rest in between. Suspension Training provides a great upper body workout that will strengthen and tone a woman's chest, back, triceps, biceps, and shoulders.
Fasten the Kinetic Bands to a stable object.
Walk back while holding the Kinetic Bands handles. Make sure there is a lot of tension.
Plant the feet shoulders width apart and lean into an angle, extending the back until the arms are straight.
Walk the legs out to make the workout easier and in to make the workout harder.
Pull the body upward so the handles touch the sides of the chest.
Remember to maintaining a straight back. Squeeze the core to feel it between the shoulder blades.
Walk back while holding the Kinetic Band handles. Make sure there is a lot of tension.
Pull the handles out to the sides, bringing the body up while extending the arms into a “t” position. When going back to the starting position, bring the hands back together as shown in the video.
Make sure to keep control and balance. Do not let the body swing.
Perform fast transitions with no rest in between.
Feel this exercise through the shoulders and arms.
Flex and tighten the entire body for a full body workout.
Walk the feet back while holding the handles.
Lean forward with the arms straight, facing the ground while the body is in an angled push-up position.
Hold the Kinetic Band handles out wide and away from the body. The goal is to do a high “L” push-up so the straps do not touch the shoulders.
Suspension training push-ups build the upper body, while also developing balance and stability.
Maintain a flat back and stabilize the body by slightly widening the feet.

Drug Rehab should never be taken as an easy ride. It is a process that requires technical experience, intensive care, and above all, the support and will from family, therapists, and the affected individuals themselves.
Do not feel isolated. Do not let yourself or your loved one left at the mercy of drugs or alcohol. At Kansas City Rehabs, our research-based empathetic drug rehab approaches can instill hope in you for a long term recovery.
We don’t just believe in recovering individuals from addictions, we aim at empowering them, their family and the whole communities through holistic treatments and the promotion of a healthy, happy, and prosperous life.
For the drug rehabilitation process to work, you need to begin to recognize the impact that your drug abuse is having on your day-to-day life. You then need to know that you want to give up these drugs for the last time. It is very difficult to ‘cure’ somebody of their drug addiction if they do not have the willpower to tackle their addiction. If somebody is not ready to give up drugs, then it is hard for them to make any real progress. This is because a lot of the drug rehabilitation processes focus on the psychological issues of drug addiction.
If you have a family member who is suffering from drug addiction and you wish for them to consider drug rehab in Kansas City, then speak to them today. Start with a gentle talk. Show them how their addiction has affected their life. Make them realize that drug addictions can have a profound impact on not only the addicted, but their loved ones too. Many people, once they realize that their addiction is having an impact on the people around them, are more willing to start the rehabilitation process.
It is important that a chronic addiction is dealt with as quickly as possible. If it is allowed to continue, then it will very quickly make matters worse.
Whether you need help for your own self or your loved one, there’s no better time than now to contact a qualified addiction counselor now through DFP. You will have all the information you need about the process of rehabilitation, you can receive advice on dealing with it, as well as the process that you will need to undergo to be accepted into different programs.

Richly illustrated, this book is a valuable resource not just for the people of Roscommon, but a template for memorial studies in other counties.
This research began in 2012 with the study of the grave memorials of the late 17th century to the 1860's in Ballintober Old, Co. Roscommon. The richness of memorial work here is indication of the importance of Ballintober and the O'Conor family. A catalogue of these memorials, including the full inscription, photo and references is given.
Details: 528 A4 pages, 1,331 colour images, hardback only.
Mary B. Timoney, originally from Waterford and living in south Sligo, has been researching graveyard memorials since 1984. She received an M. A. from UCC in 2001 for her study of 'The Decorated Box Tombs of the Skreen School, Co. Sligo, c. 1780 - 1850'. In 2005 she published 'Had Me Made, A Study of the Grave Memorials of Co. Sligo fro c. 1650 to the Present'. She has lectured and published on grave memorials in Co.s Cavan, Monaghan, Roscommon and Sligo as well as on the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead, Ireland, and on the care of graveyards.

Years ago when I was a young city planner, I remember Chattanooga’s mayor looking up, bleary eyed from the center of the dais as the city council room slowly cleared. It had been a particularly long and mind-numbing session.
"It is my understanding," he said in a voice loud enough so that all still near the front could hear, "that public officials who fail to live a pure and blameless life will, when they die, be immediately cast into Hades where they will be forced to sit through zoning hearings for all eternity." Mayor Roberts passed away a few months ago and I can only pray that he was found sufficiently worthy and thus escaped the hell of that particular type of civic engagement as we knew it back then. He was a good man and deserved better – even if he had been an FBI agent and newspaper reporter in previous lives.
But that was the sad state of "civic engagement" 40 years ago. As a career public servant who has painfully endured hundreds of government-inspired – and often legally required – public hearings over the past four decades, I can attest that sometimes the ultimate result of all that standing and testifying was that someone in a government office checked a box on a page of a bureaucratic government document.
Chattanooga has been working to break out of the hellish model of conventional public engagement for years. Moving beyond the rote hearings usually required prior to decisions on zoning, budget and transportation issues, Chattanooga leaders realized in the 1980s that redesigned engagement tools might be more productively employed to begin an actual face-to-face conversation with public opinion leaders and even with the citizenry at large.
Vision 2000 was followed by Vision 2020 and a virtual parade of added extensions of the Chattanooga Venture brand – using the same sort of open meeting and facilitated responses. Slowly, the economic cloud over Chattanooga began to lift and the attitude of despair was replaced with a greater spirit of optimism. However, the process was expensive, labor intensive and consumed reams of paper.
As years went by and Chattanooga – along with most of the developed world – moved from an analog age to a digital culture, it became apparent that a technical shift in the civic engagement process was in order. In 2008, a new nonprofit agency, “Create Here,” decided to tap into the energy of Chattanooga Venture and Vision 2000 by utilizing the new tools of online civic participation on a grand scale. A goal was set to engage the public on a regional basis and to try and eclipse a record held by Calgary, Alberta. At that time, the Canadian city of 1.5 million had successfully recorded more than 19,000 participants in an online survey in 2005. To expect that Chattanooga – a city of 176,000 – might do better was considered by many to be a quest of Quixotic intentions. Still, the young challengers sallied forth, adopting the name “Chattanooga Stand” and the slogan, “Many Voices: One Vision: A Greater Community.” Before the end of that summer, 26,263 surveys had been completed. Calgary had been decisively dethroned.
At this point, the story becomes less rosy.
The extensive and exhaustive data file was turned over to a research organization associated with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga for analysis. After much effort, Chattanooga Stand announced that analysis of the more than 25,000 completed survey instruments revealed that the people of Chattanooga believed our greatest challenges were education, crime and jobs – in that order. On the plus side, the survey results indicated what citizens liked most about Chattanooga: its natural beauty, sense of community and the vitality of downtown.
After so much pomp and ceremony, to say the rather obvious and boring outcome was a bit deflating is an extreme understatement. Almost any survey of almost any size and scope in almost any community anywhere would produce similar results. But on the positive side, the survey demonstrated how digital engagement is a quick and effective way to reach thousands of individuals who otherwise might not be involved in conventional public meeting-based methods. The downside of digital is the analysis and follow-through.
That brings us to a hybrid solution – something that incorporates the best of the old and the new.
On July 15, 2008, Volkswagen announced that Chattanooga had been selected for its new $1 billion manufacturing facility. One result of such an exciting announcement is a renewed interest in regional planning and growth management. Accordingly, "Thrive 2055" was launched with the goal of involving over 1 million citizens across a broad 16-county, tri-state area.
A series of public meetings took place at convenient locations, but a serious wrinkle soon emerged. The political environment of the times involved a rising tide of Tea Party-inspired groups that quickly latched onto “Agenda 21” – the now (in)famous United Nations resolution from the Rio Earth Summit of June 1992. Fueled by the inflammatory rhetoric of Glenn Beck and other such prophets of doom, the local conspiracy theorists showed up at almost every meeting with the specific intent of disrupting and co-opting the civic engagement process. Their methods were loud and obnoxious, making it difficult to maintain order in the gatherings.
“They tried to take away the freedom to speak,” said project manager Bridgett Massengill. "So, among other things, we changed to allow participants to write their own comments on charts around the room and we have kept a database of all that we have gathered. People are able to go there and see what everyone has contributed – including those from the Tea Party.” Other modifications were made in the process to blend digital input and conventional meetings.
"Social media has helped in some respects and hurts in some respects," said Ruth Thompson, who handles media for Thrive 2055. "It allows people to distance themselves from the process, and to some people meeting face to face means meaningful conversation."
Sizing up the results thus far, Bridgett Massengill offered, "Our goal is for people to be actively involved but then for all participants to be at peace with any decision they might not totally agree with. That's how we know that we have it right."
Just last week, in reporting on the monthly tally of more than $1 billion in new investment in the region, the Chattanooga Times Free Press quotes Massengill: "When Thrive 2055 was first launched in 2012, the Chattanooga region had experienced $4 billion in new business investments over a four-year period between 2008 and 2012. …That remarkable achievement also brought awareness to the growth our region was experiencing, particularly in light of the economic downturn the rest of the country was going through. Now we've seen over $1 billion in one month alone." She went on to underscore the continuing need for public involvement and regional cooperation.
Overcoming obstacles to effective civic engagement by merging digital with conventional methods – making it possible for all voices to be heard – is the story of Thrive 2055 so far. Thrive 2055 is also employing something called "Meeting in a Box" that is both simple and fun – two qualities that seem to add to the success of any civic engagement process.
So, what has been learned over the last 40 years?
Civic engagement means more than checking off a box after a public venting session.
Truly effective civic engagement has a systemic effect that can actually change the culture and mood of a community.
To work well in today's environment, civic engagement should incorporate digital with the older conventional methods.
It helps if it is fun.
I'm still haunted by Mayor Roberts' warning about long, boring zoning hearings. And, in spite of the circumstances, I'm somewhat grudgingly grateful to the Tea Party and the Agenda 21 fear mongers for making it interesting and forcing us to find a better way.

Long ago, a dreadful war was fought between the Goddess and the Vile God. Both created a vast array of special weapons imbued with their godly energy, each containing the life force of a fairy. Armed with these weapons, the deities continued their conflict until they finally sealed each other away into the great unknown. A long time has passed since this ancient conflict, and the weapons created by the Goddess and the Vile God have since been scattered across the world. These weapons—now known as “Furies”—are highly sought after by warriors who call themselves “Fencers”. It is said that whoever collects a Fury will be granted one wish. When a young man named Fang decides to rashly pull a Fury from a stone, he inadvertently becomes a Fencer himself, forever altering the course of his destiny.
Continue your adventure through three new story paths: The Goddess story, the Vile God story, and the Evil Goddess story. Play as Fang and his gang as you face off against a new evil organization, meet new fairies and fencers, and collect the furies scattered across the world.
The Switch version of Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force contains all the changes made for Advent Dark Force on PS4 & PC and will include all the DLC from those versions of the game as standard. Alongside new content, you can now have up to 6 characters on the battlefield at a time! That’s double the fairies and the fencing! With so many characters, players will be allowed to balance gameplay with three new difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, and Hard.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any hand drawn graphics—too long, don’t you think? Today, I’ve got some fun new fall graphics I really think you’re going to enjoy. Add some autumn flair to your next design with this cute pumpkin clip art!
These pumpkins would look so nice on a fall card, photo overlay, or part of a harvest-themed scrapbook page.
Now that it’s September, I’ve got all things fall on the brain—especially pumpkins. Last week, I was creating a tutorial about making stickers, and when trying to come up with a fun motif to use as an example, guess what popped into my head—that’s right, pumpkins! You can download those pumpkin stickers for yourself, by the way.
Now that my blog is embracing the upcoming fall season, it’s probably about time my house did as well. I think I’ll break out the fall decorations this weekend (yippie)! I’ve also got some new fall DIY ideas in the works, so stay tuned. Even though I’m really more of a summer person, I’m particularly excited about fall this year. Good things must be in store!
Enjoy the new pumpkin clip art! What are your plans for these happy little pumpkins?
Thank you, these are really cute!
Love these! I am new to using photoshop and I can figure out how to change the color of these using a style (have foil styles), but I am unable to figure out how to simply change the color of them to the lovely taupe/charcoal/back that you have on your image. Do you have any ideas what I am missing? Thank you!
Hi Chrisi. You’re not the first person to tell me that today. I wonder if there is something going on with Google Drive. I just tested the link myself (while logged out), and it worked fine. What happens when you click the download button? And what browser are you using?

NECTAR Sleep Mattress Review – Saatva Mattress Bigfoot Actor | Your Best Sleep Now!
In both TV as well as The movies, there’s a topic which has done quite well over the past couple of years: Zombies. This concept has created for some really remarkable, majorly lucrative, and also award-winning television shows and also blockbusters. Though it’s all fiction, right?
For those who have lived for any timeframe, it’s no doubt that you really have heard a person inform you precisely how key sleeping is. It’s likely that you’ve discovered this lesson on your own, and it’s also likely that you’ve found out from many people who have discovered it also. Without sleep, we feel like… well, zombies.
Just as if feeling exhausted isn’t already enough of a bother, there’s way more to the situation. When we have been suffering from sleep deprivation, our brain actually malfunctions. That basically indicates that our brain is unable to operate well. If truth be told, our brain really starts shutting down a number of areas as well as functions that are not necessary for your survival. Therefore becoming lacking sleep is not simply a feeling, it is a physically impaired state of daily life.
Helping to make factors worse, extended sleep loss triggers over production of cortisol. Cortisol in it’s appropriate quantity allows us to experience some pressure and also urgency to get things completed. But if it’s overproduced, it leads to us to feel stressed, anxious, and also concerned on a regular basis. This could bring on even deeper medical related troubles of anxiety and depression. Obviously, insufficient sleep is not good for any individuals.
We’ve all been there. Usually, our own lives require so much from us. We dedicate so much of our time and effort to our jobs and occupations, our friends and relations, and our pastimes as well as activities. Quite often, it feels like there is very little left, and it could be difficult to rest and also refuel your energy.
And yeah, maybe we could all use much more sleep. Still, what happens if we might be able to accomplish more than slumber longer. What if we might be able to snooze better?
NECTAR is here to help out. And they give assistance with a very simple vision. NECTAR boasts to be the most comfortable mattress, and that you will get the best sleep of your life, guaranteed. For an organization that makes mattresses, it’s rather challenging to possess a much more crystal clear vision than that.
Maybe you|Perhaps you} hurt once you wake up each morning. NECTAR addresses this on quite a few levels. It starts with utilizing the most recent release of breakthroughs in mattress and also fabric technologies, and bringing those together in a singular product. And don’t worry about having to choose exactly what amount of firmness to buy and hope that you selected correctly. NECTAR has designed their mattress to a degree of firmness that stabilize the give and take of your body weight as you lie in different positions during the night, which creates the best amount of comfort and support. Which means you can rest assured (no pun intended) that whichever posture you are laying in, it’s the correct choice.
Yet there’s even more to it than that. Maybe you don’t merely feel sore or uncomfortable any time you get up. Maybe your neck, vertebrae, shoulder blades, hips, and/or hind legs hurt. Not any longer. Any time you lie on your back, NECTAR mattress offers the right amount of firmness to support the natural curvature of your spine. Once you lay on your side, you want your spine to stay in a straight line. Other mattresses are either too firm, and they press against that natural curvature, or perhaps too soft and let your spine sink an excessive amount. Either way, the two are incorrect, because your spine is forced one way or another out of positioning. NECTAR eliminates this concern, and the outcome are just as much of a breakthrough as the design of the mattress itself. NECTAR has completely refined the amount of firmness as well as support to a breakthrough degree.
There is one other issue that goes wrong whenever mattresses don’t breathe properly too: moisture. Every time air flow doesn’t circulate in a mattress, it collects moisture from the air that comes in however cannot really let it out. This dramatically cuts down on the life expectancy of a mattress, considering the trapped moisture starts to make the substances in the mattress deteriorate. Additionally drastically lowers the comfort, considering the broken down substances in the mattress will no longer perform as they should. The mattress ends up being uncomfortable, and also stays uncomfortable over its cut down life expectancy. What a waste!
NECTAR hasn’t just created a breakthrough mattress which offers remarkable comfort. They’ve at the same time created a top quality mattress that is made of exclusively the best substances. One can find no ozone depleters, PDDEs, TDCPP, mercury, or even lead. Not only are they more beneficial for you, but for the world too. They will be without problems recycled, and also environment friendly!
One can find two layers of Gel Memory Foam which help to circulate the air, and also effectively disperse your weight as well as sustain the natural curve of your body. These 2 layers are sizeable aiding aspects to the factors mentioned prior. When you slumber, your quality of slumber is now being supported by the best quality materials used in the industry. I suppose that could be what the results are in cases where your vision is to create the best mattress. Period.
It certainly is quite normal for comfort and quality to go hand in hand. Yet they carry along a price. Well, generally. Although not right now.
NECTAR offers comfort in addition to support in keeping with mattresses that charge $3,000-5,000+. With that high quality, you might be honestly wishing that these are about half of that asking price, at around $2,000. Or perhaps you may have your fingers crossed just anticipating that they really are only $1,500. But nevertheless do not quit reading at this point. Since you won’t actually be having to pay that.
hey really do not cost $1 ,500 . They don’t cost $1 ,000 . All of the NECTAR mattresses begin in the $300’s . And they are all under $1 ,000 , even for a California King ! At that cost , absolutely everyone in your residence are able to sleep much better for the cost of just one traditional mattress .
We are living in a world that is persistently changing. NECTAR is a paradigm shift in the strategy a mattress is created. The truth is, mattresses have been in existence generations. And the same as vehicles and also households, the manner in which one is designed at present is different than it was ages in the past. Across almost all industries, people are routinely investigating as well as making completely new discoveries. From developing and also using new elements, to bettering on a design or releasing a new one, the manner in which we conduct things shifts over the years.
Traditional mattresses incorporate a set of box spring along with a mattress. The box springs go underneath the mattress, delivering an extra layer of support to the mattress. The mattress is created with columns of coils all throughout to supply support. Then on top the coils is some sort of “topper”. Several years ago, this topper was stuffed with numerous kinds of stuffing or padding, and in more modern years various layers of foam. There are numerous companies that have been making mattresses for a long time such as Serta, Sealy, Jamison, Sleep Number, as well as Amerisleep.
Yes. And they are just as impressive. However I’ll spare you the facts. I won’t let you know that they are a pillow that is definitely just as brand new as their mattresses. I will not talk about the quilted memory foam outer shell. As well as I definitely will not let you know about the Tencel cooling fabric and active ventillation which means that you can be at all times sleeping on the cool side of the pillow. I’ll simply inform you that they are fantastic, and also every much a breakthrough in pillows as their mattresses are.
The only way for you to experience that you love a product would be to check it out for yourself.
Absolutely. It’s one thing when something appears great in writing or perhaps in a commercial, nonetheless it’s another to completely experience something for yourself. And with NECTAR, you can. Not only does NECTAR offer an incredible value, they also back it with an unbelievable guarantee.
However with NECTAR, the game has entirely changed. Because they will deliver it 100 % free to your home, and you can test it for a night. And you can give it a go for a week. And you can test it for a month. Not to mention two months. And even three months. Where am I going with this? With NECTAR, you can try it risk free for a year! You get a 365 night home trial. They deliver it to you for free. If you feel that you are not 100% happy, they will come and pick it up for free. But nevertheless I doubt you will need them to.
There is no catch. There’s simply just NECTAR. Well, there is certainly more than that. There is a far better mattress with spectacular value. There’s a completely new paradigm in making a mattress, with invention at every turn. There is certainly the ease and comfort and support which you deserve. There’s pillows that maximizes the ease and comfort from head to toe. There’s great quality together with value. There is a wonderful product, reinforced by an amazing guarantee. There’s an end to the zombie apocalypse.

The heathen temple was torn down by a crowd of religion fanatics.
Opinion columns bemoan the fanaticism of its youth the remoteness of its rulers and the power of its clerics.
B-movie fanatic quentin tarantino crammed guns drugs molls and a killer john travolta into a post-mod molotov cocktail of a plot while slicing the action into shuffled fragments.
And there on a platform of corn-bags in sanctimonious sidewhiskers and semi-clerical blacks stood alec d' urberville.animalism had yieded to fanaticism and the bold roving eye now gleamed with a ferocious righteousness.
A rich imagination was also at play.several of the alien abductees were already prone to fanaticizing and also claimed to have seen ghosts and have psychic or healing abilities.
By degrees they sink into the category of the reactionary conservative socialists depicted above differing from these only by more systematic pedantry and by their fanatical and superstitious belief in the miraculous effects of their social science.
He was stoical serious austere a melancholy dreamer humble and haughty like fanatics.
This is what a distinguished19century french mineralogist calls the passion of the pioneer which the goes on to describe as "the blend of an optimism that cannot contemplate failure of a perseverance that is fanatic in its intensity and of a dedication amounting to obsessive concern".
To this section belong economists philanthropists humanitarians improvers of the condition of the working class organisers of charity members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals temperance fanatics hole-and-corner reformers of every imaginable kind.
Religious fanatics have formed an unholy alliance with right wing groups.

I'm frustrated to find that use of a mouse zoom wheel on www.openstreetmap.org now changes the zoom level for me by 3 levels. I thought this was a problematic setting on my own computer, but I see that a colleague is equally frustrated. Is this intentional? Does it effect everyone? Is it going to get fixed? It's horrible... always needing to adjust zoom level with the buttons on the edge of the window.
Not for me, scrolling just zooms for a single step. Firefox Quantum 60.4.0 on Linux. Which operating system and browser are you using?
I don't see this either, just the usual single step (Chrome, Windows 10).
@Rostranimin, what browser on what OS are you using? Also is there any other information that might be relevant?
Note my own answer to the question below. I'm on Chrome when encountering the problem, Windows 7. It's new. At the moment I only know that it seems to be a problem also for colleagues (same company, same PC model, same Windows build, etc - probably also on Chrome, but I didn't check).
EdLoach - does www.openstreetmap.org use Leaflet to serve up the map? That wouldn't surprise me - I just never checked before.
@Rostranimin: yes, it does use Leaflet.
I had this same problem recently which I resolved by going to the Windows Mouse settings and changing the "Choose how many lines to scroll each time" setting to 3 (the default).
This assumes the "Roll the mouse wheel to scroll" setting is set to "Multiple lines at a time".
No there hasn't (to my knowledge).
I'm answering my own question. Transferring to another system completely (different building, organisation, etc) the problem goes away. At the moment it appears to me that somehow this is something which is a problem only within my office (unless anyone else confirms the behaviour).
Why this is happening remains a mystery.
@Rostranimin: possibly an organization-wide change for your computer settings?

The polls opened for Swedish legislative elections Sunday with the far-right expected to notch up a record score as voters unhappy about immigration punish one of the few remaining left-wing governments in Europe.
Social Democrat Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has repeatedly called the elections a "referendum on the future of the welfare state."
He urged voters to "think about how they wanted to use their time on Earth", calling on them to "stand on the right side of history."
Moderates leader Ulf Kristersson said that after the election, Sweden would need "a strong cross-bloc cooperation to isolate the forces... pushing for Sweden to withdraw from international cooperation."
"We're now competing against the Social Democrats and Moderates to become the biggest party in the country," he said, dismissing the protesters as "communists."
He sparked an outcry during a televised debate on Friday when he said foreigners had more difficulty finding jobs "because they're not Swedes."

Mix together and press into a greased 10 inch spring-form or cheesecake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare filling.
Filling: Place eggs and sugar into bowl of a large food processor. Do NOT use a blender as it will not be the same! You're better off doing it by hand, starting with the cream cheese and sugar, then adding eggs. Process until sugar is dissolved. Add cream cheese in 4 or 5 additions. Scrape sides of bowl often, and process until smooth. With the machine still running, add remaining ingredients. Process a few more seconds. Pour over prepared crust. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes and no longer! It will look loose and under baked, but that is how it is supposed to be. Resist the urge to bake until it is set, otherwise it will be dry and grainy. The middle 3 inches should still be wobbly. Let cool; refrigerate overnight. It will set.
Bring to room temperature to serve and use a hot, wet knife to slice. It is very rich and creamy.

Got a quick second for some idle chit-chat?
Cool - Let's talk about the weather.
Ok, it's not technically about the weather, but it is focusing on temperature and how it can affect your days.
Now, depending on what the temperature is outside, we're doing to dress differently. We're going to have different things to consider.
If it's cold, I'm probably going to be putting on a lot more layers, more time, and more effort into getting ready.
If it's hot outside, my out of bed-into-my-car timeframe is going to be considerably less in comparison.
There's been a lot of discussion among some fellow musicians about what it means to be supported by our fans. It got me thinking about how we can better focus on our fanbase by acknowledging that they're NOT all in the same place on their journey with us as artists.
So I wanted to take a minute to paint a scenario first.
You're at a shopping mall with a friend to purchase a coffee maker for your apartment. Obviously, you'll pass lots of stores and sales counters along the way. So assuming you're NOT the world's most impulsive buyer 😉, which situation are you going to be more likely to make a purchase?
1️⃣️ You get interrupted by a salesperson with "Tireless Wireless" who has a clipboard. They're at a kiosk promoting their great deal on wireless internet.
2️⃣️ You pass by "I Love Theze Teez", a novelty store and stop at the window to check out the display.
3️⃣️ You're at your destination store "Coffee, Tea, and Me", have asked a couple questions about their coffee makers and even compared prices.
Again, notwithstanding the "impulsive days" where you could've potentially walked out with a coffee maker, 3 Marvel t-shirts, and 50% off the first 12 mo. with Tireless Wireless, more than likely you're going to say #3.
So that scenario directly represents your readiness to act - or your "temperature".
➡️ Social media is definitely the mall.
Our fans and followers are going to be on social browsing for all different types of reasons all along the "temperature" scale. If we want to get people to interact with your content, buy our music, or even more attend our show, we need to realize that psychologically we are technically an interruption (sorry).
That's one of the main reasons we focus on the MusicBizSocial calendar. It's all non-promotional things you can share to stay "top of mind" and give you more reasons to connect with your followers.
So food for thought. What are some of the calls to action we ask our fans to take? And are they matched up with the right temperature?
✔️ Someone who follows your page and likes your posts?
Treat them as "warm" and ask for a small commitment - maybe to interact with a post or possibly join your email.
✔️ Someone local who has commented on posts/videos, follows you on multiple social channels, and added you on Spotify? - They're "hot" and probably ready for a show invite.

Orthopedic injuries can seem easy to fix right after an accident, but they may continue to cause problems throughout your life. Insurance companies don’t factor these costs into their calculations and generally refuse to pay them. If you or a loved one suffered an orthopedic injury in a motor vehicle accident or a premises liability case such as a slip and fall, you need to talk with our personal injury attorneys about the long-term costs of your care.
We have extensive experience dealing with the lasting effects of orthopedic injuries. We know how insurance companies try to deny claims requiring extended treatment, and we’ve obtained millions of dollars in compensation for our clients in the Los Angeles area to cover past, present, and future medical bills, lost wages, and other costs associated with their accidents. We’ll work just as hard for you.
Insurance companies won’t agree that arthritis, disc bulges, or other lifelong consequences of serious injuries were related to your accident unless you work with a personal injury lawyer to prove that they’re causally related.
As soon as we accept your case, we’ll ensure that you have the best medical care available. We want to know what potential long-term consequences may arise so we can get you the full compensation that your owed.
If you or a loved one need a Los Angeles orthopedic injury attorney, call us at (310) 550-1220 to schedule a free case consultation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Boil water and cook and drain pasta.
Put half the butter in a saute pan and turn to medium high. When butter foams, add ham, turn 2-3 times, then add spinach and liberal pinches of salt--the spinach needs it for flavor. Turn to high and saute spinach, turning frequently, for about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in nutmeg, grated or powdered (no more than 1/8 tsp).
Toss the pasta with the contents of the pan, plus the ricotta, the remaining butter, and the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
Serve with salad, warm bread, and Parmesan and Pepper on the side.
I filed this as Vegetarian too because it tastes great with or without the ham. If you leave out the ham, I would recommend extra spinach, a little extra kosher salt and freshly ground pepper at the end, and possibly extra ricotta.
This was great! It'll be come a staple in our family repertoire too. My husband & I also enjoyed it with red pepper flakes on top.
I've enjoyed making a few of your recipes. The African Peanut Chicken stew was a hit with our guests too.

Delicious and easy! My kids love this and so do I. I'll typically cook extra ham and give it to my kids while loading my husband (largely vegetarian) with extra spinach. It is always in demand the next day as well!
Jacki made this the other night, veggie style, with a ton of fresh spinach. It was great.
I changed this recipe up a little to my liking. Instead of ham, I used sliced mushrooms and sauted them in a combo of 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 butter. I also included garlic powder to taste and red pepper flakes to taste for a little kick. Maybe next time, I will add some toasted pine nuts.
John, Thank you for sharing this!!!!!! My 7yr. old told me its his new favorite and that we have to have it once a week! :) I said you may get tired of it, he said ok once every 2 wks then. We love this pasta! I did add more ham and ricotta then called for and I put onions in w the spinach and ham. It is just the best! Thanks for a new family favorite! When I first looked at the recipe I thought maybe I will change the ham to shrimp, but after tasting it the ham adds such a wonderful flavor, I will only make it this way!!
Making this soon though, I'll substitute the Ham with grilled chicken breast , we're not pork eaters. Sounds great! Thanks for this recipe.
I am definitely going to try this soon. It sounds wonderful and tasty. Can't wait to do this!
One I'll be trying for sure!
Hope you enjoy it and post a review, Infinity!
I'm trying to break out of my chicken habit...this sounds like a wonderful new ham recipe!!

In 1059, the right of electing the pope was reserved to the principal clergy of Rome and the bishops of the seven suburbicarian sees. In the 12th century the practice of appointing ecclesiastics from outside Rome as cardinals began, with each of them assigned a church in Rome as his titular church or linked with one of the suburbicarian dioceses,Cardinal Seasons 1-2 DVD while still being incardinated in a diocese other than that of Rome.The term cardinal at one time applied to any priest permanently assigned or incardinated to a church, or specifically to the senior priest of an important church, based on the Latin cardo (hinge), meaning "principal" or "chief". The term was applied in this sense as early as the ninth century to the priests of the tituli (parishes) of the diocese of Rome.The Church of England retains an instance of this origin of the title,Cardinal Seasons 1-2 which is held by the two senior members of the College of Minor Canons of St Paul's Cathedral.

I tried to make some of my own. Here goes! Its a semi-simplistic pack, but also focuses on patterns and symmetrical shading.
For the purposes of this tutorial, however, to showcase what shaders can do without any extra help we’ve opted to not use a special resource pack and to simply apply the shaders with the default Minecraft resource packs.

I spotted this lady at the Joe’s Bakery 50th Anniversary party at Fiesta Gardens in East Austin. She was whirling around and around on the dance floor til I coaxed her into stopping for a moment so I could get a picture of her.
She was dazzling in her Longhorn regalia and made a great couple along with her husband who was also dressed to the nines.

Whether one talks of and worships heroes who we can only hope to emulate, or of the more literal definition of a religious-based or computer-screen-based symbol to follow, the last weeks have not been kind to progressive icons. Death and dismemberment by mass media has caused the splashing of countless smiling images upon us, but blurred the messages which were central to the lives of dear Madiba and Pete.
If we are going to build vibrant, relevant future movements like the ones those two helped to generate for their times, we had best remember some of these central lessons gleaned from decades of lifelong commitment, growth, and struggle.
A tourist can be spotted in a large crowd. Without saying a word, they boast loud cries of, “Look out world, I’m comin’!” A tourist travels with the intention to shop, eat, sleep late and see the world through a camera lens, or shielded behind dark sunglass shades.
Can We Get Our American Violence Under Control?
A child is murdered and we thrash about once more in the spectacle of tragedy.
The media, trapped in their Chicken Little outfits, report the death in detail, make sure we understand how deeply parents and friends are grieving. They interview the neighbors, kick-start the political debate. They demand some sort of superficial or fragmentary change that will get American violence under control. And then the news cycle moves on.
The time for a revolution of a deeper sort comes when the imbalance of unequal sharing of the land and its resources reaches the ultimate crisis point. People don’t want to contemplate this, but at least the unprecedented socioeconomic disintegration ahead will be the portal to achieving real sustainability.
This will occur despite any redistribution of present wealth through compassionate reforms or wrenching de-classism. For the hour is too late ecologically. This applies to the entire modern industrialized world.
Abbe Land, West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tem, doesn’t want activists to think of “lobbying” as a dirty word. “In the purest form, it’s about educating and helping elected officials understand the issue,” she told more than 100 community members attending the recent workshop, “Your Voice: Learning to Lobby for Social Change,” organized by the Advocacy Committee of the National Council of Jewish Women/Los Angeles.
Lately I’ve been feeling like I am straddling two banks that are rapidly moving away from each other, leaving me performing ever more of a balancing act in the middle of a rushing stream.
One foot is still hanging on to the familiar dry land on which I was born and bred: the safe, predictable world of a privileged existence within the capitalist empire, where every problem has a technological solution, all needs are met, and there is nothing really to worry about, beyond what to have for dinner, or where to go on the next vacation.
This is the world in which I am a true-blue Democrat, I pay my taxes without question, and I work hard in expectation of an eventual pleasant retirement.
But I also have a foot in quite another realm, one that is still quite foreign to most of my peers.

Several readers have told me that their email deliveries of Centauri Dreams have not been coming through. This has been an on-again, off-again problem for some time and I’m now trying to switch providers to take care of it. Bear with me, as I hope to have the problem resolved within a few days.
You might know this already, but I figure it’s worth mentioning that something similar happened to the RSS feed – I haven’t been getting anything for a while, and suddenly have just received everything from https://www.centauri-dreams.org/?p=38728 onwards.
Yes, the problem involved the RSS feed, and the need to track down some errant code. It took a while, but I think the problem is now fixed. We’ll see how things go over the next few days.

Why create art at all? Hasn’t everything already been said, painted, photographed, composed, performed, written? Who needs it and who will buy it, show it, even see it?
Unique vision is universal, but very few decide to develop and refine that vision. Pursuing that process, you can direct yourself to the small, meaning one’s ego, angst and complaints, which ultimately wastes everyone’s time. Or, you can move outward, to the infinite, and bring the beauty and complexity into conscious awareness.
My late painting teacher (strange, perhaps, for a photographer), the late Dr. Hisashi Ohta, who was at the time Living National Treasure of Japan in Sumi-e, taught that beauty isn’t always sweet. Focusing on the positive, trying to enhance life and living, isn’t limited to pretty pictures of pretty places, although it doesn’t exclude them either.
True beauty is a unique expression of the energy which sustains all existence, filtered and refined through an artist’s life, experiences, training and temperament. It lovingly adds links to the network of all life, insights and invitations to stop a moment to marvel.
I try to bring this true beauty to life.

The FBI expresses concern over VoIP wiretapping.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations electronic surveillance experts worry that VoIP will become the communications mode of choice for criminals and terrorists unless the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) steps in. The public relations problem for VoIP providers is to not appear unpatriotic or unwilling to comply with the spirit of the law while at the same time trying to block costly, regulatory intrusions into the nascent industry. The FCC is expected to issue its first proposed rules this week to determine what, if any, telecom rules should apply to VoIP.

I just signed up as a member of this forum and am interested in purchasing a 2009 Buell 1125R. It has about 6000 km, (less than 4000 miles), on the clock and looks good, although it is definitely not showroom condition.
It looks like it may have tipped over on the kickstand side at some point, but the damage is almost non-existent. No scrapes on anything, and I could not find any broken plastic.... however, the radiator shroud plastic does not look like it fits together properly.
It may have been owned by someone who does a lot of burnouts because the back tire looks pretty shredded. The left fork seal has already failed and is leaking. The front brake rotor, while not worn out, does look contaminated. I am quite certain the current owner makes money by flipping vehicles... he claims to not have a motorcycle license, knows very little about motorcycles in general and the 1125R in particular.
It starts and runs great.
What should I be worried about on this motorcycle? Any recalls? Engine reliability, (can the engine take some abuse)? Serviceability? How about a source for parts and consumables? Are there aftermarket items like tuning kits and exhaust for the 1125R?

When and where did writing begin? What was the first work of literature? How many types of writing are there? Did all societies have written language? Do certain important texts define or invent a people? Who invented the modern novel (it wasn't European or Middle Eastern)?

A rendering of the new playground to be installed at Mashashimuet Park.
After having promised early in the summer that construction of a new playground at Mashashimuet Park would begin this fall, the Parks and Recreation Association of Sag Harbor proved true to its word this week, announcing that Tuesday, October 9, will be the start date and that the work will take six weeks.
Gregg Schiavoni and Janine Rayano, the president and vice president of the park board, announced the date in a joint interview on September 27. They said the playground site will be closed and fenced or roped off while the work is in progresses.
The first thing passersby will see is workers removing the old equipment and, soon after that, the preparation of the site to receive the new equipment, they said.
The project has evolved over the past two and a half years in response to concerns that the playground was at the end of its useful life. But now peoples’ biggest concern, Ms. Rayano said, is what will happen to their favorite old play features, including the spring-mounted rabbit, chicken, whale and firetruck not to mention the ride that looks vaguely like a seal in a baby carriage but is understood to be a lion.
A climbing rock and a “mushroom spinner” that was donated by local Girl Scouts two years ago will be kept as part of the new playground, they said.
Expected originally to cost about a half-million dollars, the playground installation is now priced at about $375,000 for a proposal made by Kompan, an international playground supplier based in Texas with a regional office in Bristol, Connecticut. The village of North Haven employed the company’s representative Jeff LaRue to upgrade its playground behind Village Hall this year.
The park association has about $200,000 on hand and needs to raise $175,000. It will close the gap with an interest-only loan that would be paid off within a year, Mr. Schiavoni said.
