Hurricane season is fast approaching. And the National Weather Service says an average of 3 hurricanes hit the U.S. coastline every 2 years. The best way to stay safe? Be prepared.
We put that philosophy into practice multiple times a year with exercises that put our Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) team and assets to the test.
We recently wrapped up our first NDR exercise of the year in Houston.
We deployed 6 technology recovery trailers, a satellite COLT (Cell on Light Truck), a mobile command center and an emergency communications vehicle. We practiced restoring network service as if there was a real-life disaster.
We also displayed our new Helicopter Flying COW (Cell on Wings). It has a 7.5-foot diameter rotor and 2 cellular antennas. In the future, our NDR team hopes that the Helicopter Flying COW will go into areas where a traditional Cell on Wheels can’t go: like areas with hurricane damage or flooding.
The Houston Fire Department joined the exercise for a hazardous materials training drill. We assessed damage and checked the environmental conditions in the generator room and cable vault of a mock “contaminated” AT&T Central Office.
In the event of a disaster, we need to know how to best mobilize our people and network technologies as well as how to best collaborate with public safety. Among other things, these exercises help us learn and adapt our strategies for providing connectivity when disasters strike.
With our public-private partnership with FirstNet, we’re preparing to make even more network technologies available to first responders.
We plan to add 72 Satellite COLTs to our fleet to support the FirstNet network. These will be dedicated to first responders and their specific needs during sustained situations where coverage may need to be strengthened. Think search-and-rescue operations following a storm.
As soon as we receive a request, our goal is to assess the situation within the hour to ready our people and technologies for deployment. And we’ll move in lock-step with public safety to deliver the requested network assets quickly and safely.
Another key feature we are bringing to public safety is priority and preemption on the network. We’ll be making these services available to public safety across all AT&T LTE bands. This includes the coverage provided by our NDR technologies. With respect to deployables, this means first responders will be able to take advantage of our full fleet of NDR assets to best support their emergency communications needs. In total, first responders will have access to more than 700 pieces of equipment – including COWs, COLTs, trailers, generators and more – which can be used in the event of a natural disaster or other crisis.
With FirstNet, it’s our mission to deliver the unique capabilities that public safety has been asking for. And we’ll do it on a network that will give them the coverage, experience and value they expect.
We take that mission seriously. The preparations we’re putting in place now will help us keep the public and public safety connected the next time a disaster hits – because as it’s happening is too late. It’s this type of prep that just may mean the difference between life and death.

We went on popplet and did a brainstorm about Powhiri that we did to Clendon Park School on Tuesday. The best thing about this is we got to use another planning tool online. I now felt confident planning a story.
This year I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a Digikid again and also a Wet Day monitor. I will be good at these jobs by being responsible and on time for Wet Day Monitor when it is a rainy day. For Digikids, I have to help others on laptops and be responsible when I get sessions on Thursday, I want to learn how to fix problems on laptops like the laptop gets no wifi etc.
In class we have been learning to clarify what we read. We have also been learning to write ‘I wonder' questions to help us understand what we read.
I learnt how to make a good I wonder question to show our understanding.
I enjoyed creating the poster about what I learnt Korowai when I finished reading this slide.
Next I want to move on the summarising.
I am learning to create a slideshow that showed the understanding of respect. I found it easy because I know what is respect. My next step is to do the other two which is resilience and responsibility.

For most of us, we hope that when we retire, we will find the time to relax, but that is really not true. My friends and I are very busy in our retirement and finding time to relax is still a problem. This may surprise many of you who are looking forward to your time to relax as you plan to or think about retirement. Let me explain, we are now busy doing things that we love, which may be pursuing our hobbies, travelling, volunteering or working (part-time) but not many of are just relaxing and letting life go by.
For some of us, retirement isn’t just a time to lay the goals of life down it is a time to look back over life at our unfinished challenges and then go back and finish them. I have two degrees and am proud of the work, time and energy I used to complete them. Many of my friends do not have a degree and they have an unfinished goal to go back and get that degree.
When I taught at the University of Phoenix, I was not surprised to see young and senior adults, taking courses to finish their bachelor’s degree or start and finish a masters or Ph.D. Working with those students and helping them achieve their goals was a highlight of my career. I understand how big a challenge it is to go back to the classroom and get that certificate, especially when you do it after you have retired.
Many of my friends started entirely new careers after they retired. With the advances in medical science today, it is a given that most people live 20-30 years or more “in retirement”. That is plenty of time to accomplish great things. So, starting out this era of life with a good education makes just as much sense as it did when you left school and started out on your first career.
This is not to say that going back to school is going to be easy. If finishing your high school degree is the goal, and going back to school is not an option, then taking a High School Equivalency program may be the answer. Every country has this type of program it may be called a GED or an ABD or an HSED or HED so you may have to do an online search to see what is available where you live.
The social situation you may face in a college classroom or school may be a challenge. You will have to get used to being in the classroom and listening to lectures, reading textbooks, taking notes, doing papers and taking exams all over again. If you go after an advanced degree and take several classes, you will be a very busy senior citizen just keeping up with your studies. Most colleges or universities that offer programs to adults understand that these adults may not have the skills needed so they may offer courses on how to learn.
But there are some joys you can expect from going after an advanced degree. If you decide to take day courses, instead of online or evening courses, college life and being on a college campus each day is by itself a very stimulating environment. Being with young people each day can be energizing and you may find yourself looking and acting as much like the youth you “hang out with” as you do your fellow senior citizens.
When I watched students at the University of Phoenix cross the stage, I could see the pride of accomplishment on their faces. Talking to them and their family at the reception after the ceremony, I could see the pride and joy that radiated throughout the room and it was uplifting.
If you are finishing your high school or bachelor’s degree, congratulations, it takes hard work and sacrifice to achieve that goal. However, don’t be surprised if you fall in love with academic life. As an educator for over 43 years, I believe that learning is tremendously addictive and you may wish to go on for yet more studies in fields of learning that have always fascinated you.

Healthy and balanced restaurant eating is feasible and can be much easier than you assume. If your routine has you taking a trip a great deal or selecting take-outs, use the ideas below to stick to your healthy meal plans while still appreciating your dish out. Right here is my plan of attack whenever I am on getaway, travelling for business or just in a situation that has me ordering out as opposed to cooking healthy and balanced. I do what I call troubleshooting: do the best I can, with what I’ve obtained and have an amazing time on my journey!
Prepare my emergency kit. I will pack and take with me: walnuts, almonds, almond butter, natural turkey and beef jerky, apples and pears. None of these demand refrigeration so they will maintain well anywhere you are. If I’m in a situation where there is no healthy protein handy (like when it is time for a snack), I’ve got my nuts and jerky to connect me over. If you do not have something helpful, you simply may locate on your own ordering pretzels and potato chips (or whatever various other ghastly food people consume while away).
There is constantly a protein on the menu, whatever. Omelettes, or smoked salmon are my much-loved choices however I’ve even gone to areas that currently bring turkey bacon and turkey sausage on the food selection. Steer clear of from the hefty and deadly pancakes and waffles. This is a blood sugar disaster waiting to take place and click site. Consuming a sugar-loaded breakfast similar to this will only establish you up for cravings and cravings the remainder of the day. And, simply may mess up an otherwise wonderful day.
I have claimed this before. The majority of us knows what is healthy and balanced on the food selection yet we still remain to buy the lousy stuff. Yes, I do count on a treat and a rip off dish once or twice a week, however most definitely not every night of your holiday. Some individuals consume and select products off the menu like they are being sent out to malnourishment camp when they obtain residence. This is not an all or absolutely nothing bargain. You have actually devoted to eating healthy and balanced for a life time. Do not fret. The food will constantly exist whether you consume everything simultaneously or area it out over a lifetime.
Ok, back to my point. Initially, items on the menu that you understand are saturated in heavy sauces are an instant No-No. Fettuccine Alfredo? Come on now. Are you significant? Can you get the steak, veggies and salad instead and be equally as delighted? Or, the Poultry Cacciatore with a side of broccoli rabe? (Yes, we’re at an Italian restaurant). Oftentimes, our palate are actually just as happy with a healthier option. No, this is not deprivation. This is choosing to really feel great, be healthy and balanced and consume great food at the same time.

These are typically made to include person posts adjoined to create a sealing system of the same height. A large number of have a style resistant design and style and therefore are made to personal close up.
Returning the Prominence: Coin run locking solutions were actually when notable in public areas such as railway stations, international airports, shuttle stations and so on for travelers to lock their luggage. Nonetheless, because of security risks, this type of program was stopped. The machine was prominent in the 1950s until the 70s.

Designer Mimi Plange created a special Mah Jong sofa with Roche Bobois for fundraiser.
A mah jong sofa consists of several pieces that can be re-arranged to suit the owner's purpose and, perhaps, whim. But the Mimi Plange mah jong sofa at the recent Utopia fund raising event only had one purpose: to raise money for Horizons Atlanta, an academic and recreational summer program that supports low-income students over the course of their academic careers.
Featuring a colorful mah jong Roche Bobois sofa and other designs and clothing pieces by designer Mimi Plange, the event raised nearly $20,000.
"Our brand is international furniture with a cutting edge. The company has done a number of innovative projects on the international level with fashion designs such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Missoni and Sonia Rykiel, and we wanted to do something on the local level for a great cause," says Annysa LaMantia, general manager at Roche Bobois. "We were excited to partner with Mimi Plange because her brand is rooted in lost African civilizations with a modern interpretation. It's African fused with a Utopian perspective. It was a cool marriage of ideas that Roche Bobois has not seen before."
Plange, whose designs have been worn by First Lady Michelle Obama, Serena Williams, Rhianna and Vanessa Hudgens, said the fundraiser inspired her. "I'm a textile designer by heart. I love textures and prints and, being from Ghana, I'm inspired by a lot of skins and leathers, embroidery and the kente cloth," she says. "Horizons is amazing and I wanted to do an collaboration, auction off items and donate the proceeds."
Plange's mah jong sofa featured a variety of themes, butterflies, peacocks, patterns and geometric shapes. In addition, Roche Bobois, which is located on Buckhead Avenue, had a "Pop Up Shop" of fashions and accessories designed by Plange that again showcased a modern interpretation of ancient African design traditions, including a painted version of the kente cloth, surreal animal poppet collages and pastel Ashanti dolls.
The proceeds from this event, which took place at Ponce City Market, will fund additional programs, says Mary-Kate Starkey, director of development. The program essentially is a six-week summer school that helps students maintain their grade level functionality or brings them up to grade level in time for the start of a new school year. In addition, the program teaches the children to swim and takes them off-site for educational field trips.
"Once a child is accepted into our program, we work with them for the entire nine years of their education from kindergarten through eighth grade. We're committed to that child, and frankly, the entire family," she says. Horizons Atlanta has served over 500 students across eight program sites. The eventual goals is 12 programs that will serve more than 2,000 metro Atlanta students.

What room is there for Man in automated reality?
Lately the news is flooded with a few consistent overarching issues when it comes to the labor market. An often cited issue is the higher than desired unemployment numbers, high labor participation dropout rates, and the push to increase the minimum wage across the US. The recent recession played a heavy role in the loss of jobs, but what is keeping them from coming back?

Crescent Bay is about a group of women living in a south coast town. Anne first came to Crescent Bay to protest a nuclear reactor but since the tragic and mysterious end to that campaign she has lived a half life on the edge of town, until a chance encounter forces her back into the world. Efficient Joyce is grieving the death of her mother and caring for her secretive father, while also trying to find a life of her own amid overwhelming duty. Light-hearted Beth likes to solve everyone’s problems, whether welcome or not, but despite her bumbling bluster she may have stumbled across a darker mystery. This is a novel about proudly ‘difficult’ and ‘prickly’ women who form an unlikely friendship.
Joyce strode up the pebblecrete path to the cream metal screen door, yanked it open and unlocked the front door. Inside, the cool hiss of air-conditioned air reverberated off the large cream tile floors. Claws skittered, and a little apricot poodle rounded the bend and threw itself towards her, front and back legs working frantically, ears and tongue flapping. Kitten slammed into Joyce’s legs and she picked him up and brought him to her face, which he lapped ecstatically.
Joyce walked in and stood in the doorway looking at her father, who was sitting neatly on the brown leather couch.
He was staring out the back screen doors.
‘I’m just not too hungry.’ He continued to stare. The light was disappearing fast outside. Joyce watched him.
The RSL club was just on other side of the small town of Crescent Bay, but Piotr never walked anywhere. They drove with their windows up, but in the RSL carpark the warm evening air was all plant oil and salt and exhaust. A headlight beam swept over them as they neared the automatic glass door entrance. The air glowed, an electric blue sunless sky.
Inside, they made their way to the bistro.
Piotr nodded and shuffled away to sit down as Joyce joined the queue. Waiting, she looked around the room. Her dad was huddled near the window. A child shrieked a few tables away. A young mother shushed the child wearily, proferring a dummy with one hand and broccoli floret with the other. Across from her, a man jogged a toddler on his knee.
When Joyce had placed their order, she turned back to see Kevin standing over her father. Kevin’s back was to Joyce, but she recognised her father’s oldest friend from the days working at the plant. Kevin’s hands were planted on the table and he leant over, shoulders drooping between the upright props his arms made, head bent down to Piotr. Joyce was relieved but her smile slackened when she saw Piotr’s face around Kevin’s bony body. It was set, taut, his gaze on the table and now up at his friend, unblinking, for longer than was friendly. As Joyce reached the table the two men were silent.
‘You’re looking lovely, as always, Joyce,’ Kevin said. Joyce maintained her smile. ‘I was just trying to get Piotr to come sit with his old mates but I see he has lovelier company tonight. I won’t compete, nah, nah!’ he said, grinning, lifting his hands in surrender. Piotr watched, still silent, as Kevin walked off with a cheery wave over his shoulder.
‘What the hell, Dad? You and Kev having a fight about something?
Joyce breathed out and sat back. The RSL never changed. The same blue and red patterned carpet that a middle manager had thought pretty stylish for five minutes fifteen years ago and now just masked the food stains moderately well. Custard-coloured walls, formica tables and vinyl chairs. No window that would open. Joyce glanced at her father, who was stolidly staring out the window. The bistro timer went off, squawking and chattering.
They ate in silence. Joyce had wanted to come here to lighten her father’s mood but he seemed unreachable. As always he was methodically slicing his steak into small pieces and chewing and swallowing them, resting his cutlery on his plate between bites.
He had always been neat. Even before old age had started to shrink him, he had been a slight man and he dressed carefully in greys and browns, poly-blend slacks and short-sleeve shirts. He seemed elderly for Joyce’s whole life; she had been a surprise change-of-life baby for Joyce’s mum. He spoke infrequently and briefly and hugged infrequently and briefly, clasping Joyce’s shoulders so that he could gently move her away after a momentary embrace. Joyce’s mother had told her that Piotr had screamed in his sleep when they were first married.
They continued to sit in a silence that seemed rebuked by every lively group near them. It was six months now since Joyce’s mother had died. Six months since she had moved to Crescent Bay to care for her dad. Because that’s what childless, unmarried daughters in their forties did, Joyce maundered, in a rare moment of self-pity. No-one had told her to do this. Her father sure as hell hadn’t asked her. But Joyce liked to help.
As they drove home, the evening had the eerie still and silence usually reserved for the early hours of the morning. Houses and streets were lit by sodium streetlights that robbed everything of its colour and shadow and returned it all orange.
The round cypress topiary on Piotr’s impeccable front lawn glowed, casting irregular shadows onto the severely trimmed lawn. Joyce heard trucks downshifting, air braking, on the bypass in the distance. The motion sensor light should have clicked on, but didn’t.
Piotr stopped and looked up at the roofline of the house where the sensor sat. ‘Bah, that bloody light. They said they bloody fixed it.’ Head down again, he resumed his slow shuffle up the path, but now even more warily.
Piotr didn’t respond; he was fussing with keys at the door. She would have liked to move in, take the keys, open the door, have this miserable evening be over, but she forced herself to be patient. The sheer effort it took robbed her of any virtuous feeling.
Piotr finally pushed the door open gingerly. But the hall light didn’t turn on either. Joyce reached over her father’s shoulder, impatiently flipping the light switch a few times, brusque to mask the sudden chill she had felt when the darkness still wasn’t dispersed.
She set off down the hall, more boldly than she felt, chiding herself for feeling spooked, sending her hands out into space to find the kitchen bench. It was truly dark here; this well-built brick and tile number didn’t tolerate any moonlight to penetrate inside.
Her mother’s ghost lingered in every well-organised cupboard in this house: she felt her way to the end kitchen cupboard, and there, as always, was the Dolphin torch, probably not touched since she had placed it there after the last six-monthly check of the battery. The sigh and squeak of air escaping from the leather couch told Joyce that Piotr had, improbably, found it and sat down. But then he’d always been good in the dark. Maybe due to his rural childhood.
Maybe from his time in the camps.
Only now, as they were both still, did the true silence of the house become clear. The still night had only collected and intensified inside, a quiet that deepened and folded. Joyce realised the house wasn’t humming: it was just sitting there passively, in the dark. The fridge wasn’t on, or the air-con.
She switched on the torch, sending a sickly beam onto the cream tiled kitchen floor. The neat click of the torch button was now, to Joyce, the sound of a pill hitting a hard pill organiser, from another time when she had stood in silence with her father, in another kitchen, in a far city, long ago. Then it had been a quiet but bright morning. Her dad had been trying to open pill bottles, which had shook in his mildly arthritic hands. She had left her cold damp Weetbix and stood beside him at the kitchen counter. ‘Here, let me, Dad?’ she had said, finally.
He had wrestled with the bottle a moment longer before wordlessly putting it on the kitchen bench and withdrawing to sit on a low chair pushed against the kitchen wall by the door.
For long minutes only the click of a pill dropping into place had sounded in their small kitchen in a quiet suburb.
‘Oh, s’alright.’ She had been intent on dropping one pill into each small slot, wanting to do well. ‘The teachers are nice.’ As she said this, she wondered if it were true. Did they like her? But she had to say something, to fill up this talk with words, as pills fill a pill organiser.
This seemed a rare chance to ask her dad something, but she was reluctant to stall the slow trickle of words between them.
‘Are there any nice boys?’ he said.
‘Nah, boys stink.’ The rote answer had made her dad chuckle, as she’d known it would.
One pill dropped into each slot. Not too high, it’d bounce.
Three taps of pills on plastic. Tap, tap, tap. Joyce’s head was bent to her task.
‘Oh, no reason,’ she said, aiming for a light tone, hands and pills and pill organiser now moving slowly, surely.
But what about heat, she wanted to say. Heat just leaves our body, that’s energy, and our bodies just get cold. It’s just heat, and then it’s just cold, she wanted to say.
‘That makes sense, thanks, Dad.’ She paused. ‘Do you want this one in there too?’ She held up a vitamin bottle.
She picked her way to the fuse-box. The metal lid screeched as she pulled it up: the main house switch had been switched off. She stared a moment, considering that. She flipped it back, and the house sprang into light. She rejoined her dad. He asked, ‘Where’s that bloody dog?’ And she could now see that the back sliding glass doors were ajar.
Her mother’s dog was gone.
I’ve worked as a copyeditor for the best part of a decade, mainly at Allen & Unwin. Before that I wrote a masters thesis at the University of Sydney about an eighteenth-century novelist. This is my first novel.

Bluestone in Melbourne is renowned for being a timeless natural material, which never goes out of fashion. It is one of the most popular stones for any application due to its aesthetic appeal, durability and ease of maintenance. And at Yarrabee we offer two types of Bluestone- the standard Chinese Bluestone sold around Melbourne and our PR Premium Bluestone, also form China, a beautiful bluestone which compares brilliantly with Australian Bluestone at a great price. Please be aware that "cat's paw" is an inherent part of any bluestone product. More or less is in no way an indication of better or lesser quality. It adds interest and character to the stone.
This is one of the more popular materials for pool coping, as it is non-slip and can withstand a harsh salt environment. But it is so much more than that and can suit anywhere, from a hotel foyer to an entry porch or even a shopping centre.
We sell a lot of bluestone pavers for feature walling and paving for elegant areas, when a level of sophistication is needed. It is also perfect for driveways and walkways, as it is a hard and particularly durable material.
To discuss our bluestone products, please give us a call and speak to one of our paving experts today.
Yarrabee is a premium bluestone supplier for many areas of Victoria, including: Mornington Peninsula, Torquay, Bellarine Peninsula, Sorrento, Portsea, Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock, Lysterfield, Geelong, Surf Coast, Bayside, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Berwick, Eltham, Beaconsfield, Glen Iris, Toorak, Malvern and Point Cook.
Bluestone pavers can be used in a variety of paving projects, particularly those where a strong and enduring finish is required. Outdoor paving is one of the more popular uses, as it enhances your natural environment.
We have found that this is one of the more popular materials for pool coping, as it provides a non-slip surface and is able to withstand a harsh salt environment.
As this is a particularly hard and durable material, you will find it suitable for driveways and other areas where vehicles park. Some other materials are not able to withstand the pressure exerted by our vehicles.
Whilst bluestone is a popular material for feature walls (both inside and out), it is also suitable for the façade of your home, covering garden walls and even for enhancing the appearance of entrance pillars.
One of the great things about this natural stone are that it is just as suitable for indoor use as it is for outdoors. It is a popular flooring material for every room of the home, from the bathroom to the living areas.

That test is not supposed to tell which is best or worst algorithm, just make your own appreciation, keep in mind only the final result is the most important and you should never forget that.
Support DirectX and OpenGL Normal map.
Support DirectX compression, Optimized for DXT5 and BC5 compression.
The Normal map are computed from 16bits matcap data ,then are rendered with BPR and directly exported to RGB 8 bits PSD /TIFF file format, without extra edits to apply in Photoshop.
Rendering time and quality of the anti-aliasing of BPR renderer.
In both articles I am trying to make relevant observations i am comparing the normal map i had baked using Substance Painter (native RGB16bits) with the normal map baked using ZGametools in PSD RGB 8bits file format and imported into Substance painter as texture resource.
What is my Objective ?
My objective is to provide a normal mapping algorithm to use with zTexturer Plugin in Zbrush that is conform with all the industry requirements and which follows all conventions and all norms, and that could compete with other algorithms on the market.
Why do I based my comparison and observations, on substance painter normal map algorithm why not a different algorithm ?
To me the best and finest baking algorithm for normal mapping on the market, are the Substance Bakers developed by the Allegorithmic.
The normal map you bake with Allegorithmic tools, are compatible with many game engine and editors.
What i am trying to reproduce with zTexturer is to provide at least, an equivalent in terms of quality and compatibility, than what Substance Designer and Substance Painter would provide to you no matter which are the game engine or software editors.
To make sure my studies goes in the right direction, I setup and export my high resolution model from Zbrush into Substance Painter.
What that mesh is for ?
Why it would not be better to compare with rock, wood or life materials for your test ?
Technically, this is best Stress test possible. All the shapes there, with the main flat area, the smoothed and the curved surfaces will reveal mostly all possible wrong behaviors on how the environment will reflect with a material that had the metallic reflections set to maximum.

I put some labels and titles in my graphs that obtained from Python code yesterday. Python is very intuitive so it’s easy to use.
I wrote a code which calculates the Lane-Emden equation of n =1 case. This result has very similar behavior with my previous TOV solver result. I can put legends in the graph thanks to this link.
I read the paper to understand the basics of the neutron star. I think I need to read Shapiro and Teukolsky’s book first.
I have been reading the paper to learn about the equation of state (EOS) of neutron stars.
For future research, I need to learn C and C++ in order to use LORENE and RNS code, either of which will be used for my project.
I have read two Astrobites articles. I know one of the authors of the second paper. I met him in Taiwan about 4 years ago. He was very kind to students and told his story about his interests in Astrophysics and numerical simulations. During the week I had many opportunities to talk to him, and it was quite a good experience. I wish I would do good research like him in the future.
I have added 2 new words and studied 14 English words using Anki.
I went to the ESL class in the evening.
I listened to the radio for 30 minutes.
I have read three Nature Briefing articles.

Discuss what type of anesthesia will be administered and what recovery time is expected.
Inform your doctor of any medications (over-the-counter or prescription) you are currently taking, as well as any prior procedures, history of chronic illnesses, and/or allergies you may have.
Be sure to stop drinking and eating for the recommended time period before and/or after surgery.
Be sure to follow any specific preoperative bathing, shaving, or cleaning instructions.
Be sure to discuss any postoperative instructions that need to be followed (for example, changing dressings, post-op medications, follow-up appointments).
Do not wear makeup the day of surgery, including nail polish.
Do not wear eye contacts the day of surgery.
Be sure to arrange all insurance coverage prior to surgery, as many insurance carriers do not cover many types of plastic surgery procedures (particularly cosmetic procedures).
Be sure to arrange a ride home after your procedure.

Hot To Hide Friends On Facebook: Privacy is one of the large problems of Facebook, yet just recently FB carried out a great deal of brand-new setups for keeping a user's privacy.
Now, a user has control on virtually every little thing in their profile (e.g. status, photos, albums etc). The user also has the control of how they intend to share material (e.g. with everyone, friends, friends of friends, etc). Individuals could also manually hide a status from specific people.
If you do not desire unfamiliar people to see your friend list, then you can simply hide it from them. It's very simple. You could use the improved Facebook privacy settings to change your friend list's visibility.
Something which I have actually observed when you maintain your friend list public is that lots of people see that list as well as start including friends blindly.
As well as seeing usual friends, various other friends normally accept the friend demand. It's sort of humiliating when your lady friend informs you that some mutual friend of yours has sent her a buddy request.
Currently, on your Facebook friend list page, simply click on the "Manage" symbol on top right & click on "Edit Privacy".
From here you can manage that can see your friend list and that can not. I generally maintain it visible to me just, as this is much better for the personal privacy of my friends due to the fact that I don't desire them to be pestered with limitless friend demands.
( Keeping your Facebook friend list visible for others is absolutely your option, yet my suggestion would be to keep it concealed from the personal privacy of your friends.).

It’s pretty much impossible to enjoy any food item for more than about six months now, as chances are that some study is going to get published telling you that it’s bad for you. It happens to all the great ones, trust me.
The lastest dish to be affected is the classic mac and cheese. Admittedly, this has been around for eons, but it’s still pretty annoying that it’s been targeted now.
A study over in America found that out of 30 prepackaged mac and cheese brands, 29 of them contained phthalates. For those of you not in the know, phthalates are hormone-influencing chemicals used to soften plastics that are banned from children’s toys.
However, it’s not all bad news, as doctors also said that the amounts contained in mac and cheese were so small that you would literally have to spend all day eating it for days to notice any effect. So yeah, if you’re doing that then maybe you should stop, although really you probably should have stopped a long time ago if you’ve got any respect.
Annoyingly the study neglected to mention the 29 brands, but given that it took place in America, it might not even be a problem when buying mac and cheese over here. I’m gonna think that anyway.
For more mac and cheese, check out this deep fried mac and cheese burger. I know that isn’t good for you.

What tools were needed for the make of it?
Hey @rookieDIY thanks for your feedback I appreciate that. For this build I used my Pallet lever to pull the pallets apart. A hammer to de-nail and a jimmy bar also to de-nail. (The extra leverage helps for the stubborn nails).
I used my drop saw to cut everything to length and then 2 drills, 1 to pilot drill and my impact driver set to a low setting (if you have the option, depends on the drill) to avoid splitting out the pine as I was screwing close to the ends of the timber.
Thanks for joining in the discussion and great to see you get such a prompt reply from Marty. Welcome to the community!
Please feel free to post anytime you need a hand or have a project to share. We have loads of members who are happy to share their experience and knowledge. And please let me know if you ever have any feedback about how we can improve Workshop for you.

I've always found that the best solo projects are not the ones that adhere to the artist's main gig nor the one's that veer completely away (I'm looking at you Julian Casalbancas). No the most successful ones to my ears are usually the ones that take the main band's sound and take it in directions that are slightly different or more adventurous.
That's certainly what we get with The Valley Wind the forthcoming album from Band Of Horses guitarist Tyler Ramsey. The record, Ramsey's third, comes out on September 27th.
What Ramsey does is take the indie roots rock of Band Of Horses and simplify it. He strips out many of the harmonies and arena rock guitar elements and distills his songs down to a minimalist, yet highly refined melodic folk rock.
In fact, at times Ramsey sounds more like Neil Young than Band Of Horses (his vocals are much more akin to Young's than they are to Ben Bridwell's). There's an undeniable Neil Young folk sound and structure to a song like "The Valley Wind", while "When It's Done" edges ever so slightly towards the Young folk/rock threshold.
Lyrically, similarities between Ramsey and Young can be found as well. Ramsey's songs are full of imagery of the natural world, in both it's beautiful and violent forms. Those images and the sentiment of weariness and reaching the end of one's rope make "The Nightbird" one of 2011's best written laments.
You can definitely still here elements of Band Of Horses on the album. However, only on the more rounded "1000 Blackbirds" does he ever venture close to the band's sonic territory.
In all The Valley Wind is both an outstanding record and a blueprint for how artists should approach their solo work.
Best tracks: "The Nightbird", "When It's Done"
You need to buy this album. They'll be talking about this album in years to come like they talk about Harvest these days.

MADISON, JAMES (1751-1836), fourth president of the United States, was born at Port Conway, in King George county, Virginia, on the 16th of March 1751. His first ancestor in America may possibly have been Captain Isaac Maddyson, a colonist of 1623 mentioned by John Smith as an excellent Indian fighter. His father, also named James Madison, was the owner of large estates in Orange county, Virginia. In 1769 the son entered the college of New Jersey (now Princeton University), where, in the same year, he founded the well-known literary club, “The American Whig Society.” He graduated in 1771, but remained for another year at Princeton studying, apparently for the ministry, under the direction of John Witherspoon (1722-1794). In 1772 he returned to Virginia, where he pursued his reading and studies, especially theology and Hebrew, and acted as a tutor to the younger children of the family. In 1775 he became chairman of the committee of public safety for Orange county, and wrote its response to Patrick Henry's call for the arming of a colonial militia, and in the spring of 1776 he was chosen a delegate to the new Virginia convention, where he was on the committee which drafted the constitution for the state, and proposed an amendment (not adopted) which declared that “all men are equally entitled to the full and free exercise” of religion, and was more radical than the similar one offered by George Mason. In 1777, largely, it seems, because he refused to treat the electors with rum and punch, after the custom of the time, he was not re-elected, but in November of the same year he was chosen a member of the privy council or council of state, in which he acted as interpreter for a few months, as secretary prepared papers for the governor, and in general took a prominent part from the 14th of January 1778 until the end of 1779, when he was elected a delegate to the Continental Congress.
He was in Congress during the final stages of the War of Independence, and in 1780 drafted instructions to Jay, then representing the United States at Madrid, that in negotiations with Spain he should insist upon the free navigation of the Mississippi and upon the principle that the United States succeeded to British rights affirmed by the treaty of Paris of 1763. When the confederation was almost in a state of collapse because of the failure of the states to respond to requisitions of Congress for supplies for the federal treasury, Madison was among the first to advocate the granting of additional powers to Congress, and urged that congress should forbid the states to issue more paper money. In 1781 he favoured an amendment of the Articles of Confederation giving Congress power to enforce its requisitions, and in 1783, in spite of the open opposition of the Virginia legislature, which considered the Virginian delegates wholly subject to its instructions, he advocated that the states should grant to Congress for twenty-five years authority to levy an import duty, and suggested a scheme to provide for the interest on the debt not raised by the import duty — apportioning it among the states on the basis of population, counting three-fifths of the slaves, a ratio suggested by Madison himself. Accompanying this plan was an address to the states drawn up by Madison, and one of the ablest of his state papers. In the same year, with Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut, Nathaniel Gorham of Massachusetts, Gunning Bedford of Delaware, and John Rutledge of South Carolina, he was a member of the committee which reported on the Virginia proposal as to the terms of cession to the Confederation of the “back lands,” or unoccupied Western territory, held by several of the states; the report was a skilful compromise made by Madison, which secured the approval of the rather exigent Virginia legislature.
In November 1783 Madison's term in Congress expired, and he returned to Virginia and took up the study of the law. In the following year he was elected to the House of Delegates. As a member of its committee on religion, he opposed the giving of special privileges to the Episcopal (or any other) church, and contended against a general assessment for the support of the churches of the state. His petition of remonstrance against the proposed assessment, drawn up at the suggestion of George Nicholas (c. 1755-1799), was widely circulated and procured its defeat. On the 26th of December 1785 Jefferson's Bill for establishing religious freedom in Virginia, which had been introduced by Madison, was passed. In the Virginia House of Delegates, as in the Continental Congress, he opposed the further issue of paper money; and he tried to induce the legislature to repeal the law confiscating British debts, but he did not lose sight of the interests of the Confederacy. The boundary between Virginia and Maryland, according to the Baltimore grant, was the south shore of the Potomac, a line to which Virginia had agreed on condition of free navigation of the river and the Chesapeake Bay. Virginia now feared that too much had been given up, and desired joint regulation of the navigation and commerce of the river by Maryland and Virginia. On Madison's proposal commissioners from the two states met at Alexandria (q.v.) and at Mount Vernon in March 1785. The Maryland legislature approved the Mount Vernon agreement and proposed to invite Pennsylvania and Delaware to join in the arrangement. Madison, seeing an opportunity for more general concert in regard to commerce and trade (and possibly for the increase of the power of Congress), proposed that all the states should be invited to send commissioners to consider commercial questions, and a resolution to that effect was adopted (on Jan. 21, 1786) by the Virginia legislature. This led to the Annapolis convention of 1786, and that in turn led to the Philadelphia convention of 1787. In April 1787 Madison had written a paper, The Vices of the Political System of the United States, and from his study of confederacies, ancient and modern, later summed up in numbers 17, 18, and 19 of The Federalist, he had concluded that no confederacy could long endure if it acted upon states only and not directly upon individuals. As the time for the convention of 1787 approached he drew up an outline of a new system of government, the basis of the " Virginia plan " presented in the convention by Edmund Jennings Randolph. Madison's scheme, as expressed in a letter to Washington dated the 16th of April 1787, was that individual sovereignty of states was irreconcilable with aggregate sovereignty, but that the “consolidation of the whole into one simple republic would be as inexpedient as it is unattainable.” He considered as a practical middle ground changing the basis of representation in Congress from states to population; giving the national government “positive and complete authority in all cases which require uniformity”; giving it a negative on all state laws, a power which might best be vested in the Senate, a comparatively permanent body; electing the lower house, and the more numerous, for a short term; providing for a national executive, for extending the national supremacy over the judiciary and the militia, for a council to revise all laws, and for an express statement of the right of coercion; and finally, obtaining the ratification of a new constitutional instrument from the people, and not merely from the legislatures. The “Virginia plan” was the basis of the convention's deliberations which resulted in the constitution favourably voted on by the convention on the 17th of September 1787. Among the features of the plan which were not embodied in the constitution were the following: proportionate representation in the Senate and the election of its members by the lower house “out of a proper number of persons nominated by the individual legislatures”; the vesting in the national Congress of power to negative state acts; and the establishment of a council of revision (the executive and a convenient number of national judges) with veto power over all laws passed by the national Congress. Madison, always an opponent of slavery, disapproved of the compromise (in Art. I. §9 and Art. V.) postponing to 1808 (or later) the prohibition of the importation of slaves. He took a leading part in the debates of the convention, of which he kept full and careful notes, afterwards published by order of Congress (3 vols., Washington, 1843). Many minute and wise provisions are due to him, and he spoke before the convention more frequently than any delegate except James Wilson and Gouverneur Morris. In spite of the opposition to the constitution of the Virginia leaders George Mason and E. J. Randolph, Madison induced the state's delegation to stand by the constitution in the convention. His influence largely shaped the form of the final draft of the constitution, but the labour was not finished with this draft; that the constitution was accepted by the people was due in an eminent degree to the efforts of Madison, who, to place the new constitution before the public in its true light, and to meet the objections brought against it, joined Alexander Hamilton (q.v.) and John Jay in writing The Federalist, a series of eighty-five papers, out of which twenty certainly, and nine others probably, were written by him. In the Virginia convention for ratifying the constitution (June 1788), when eight states had ratified and it seemed that Virginia's vote would be needed to make the necessary nine (New Hampshire's favourable vote was cast only shortly before that of Virginia), and it appeared that New York would vote against the constitution if Virginia did not ratify it, Madison was called upon to defend that instrument again, and he appeared at his best against its opponents, Patrick Henry, George Mason, James Monroe, Benjamin Harrison, William Grayson and John Tyler. He answered their objections in detail, calmly and with an intellectual power and earnestness that carried the convention. The result was a victory against an originally adverse public opinion and against the eloquence of the opponents of the constitution, for Madison and for his lieutenants, Edmund Pendleton, John Marshall, George Nicholas, Harry Innes and Henry Lee. At the same time Madison's labours in behalf of the constitution alienated from him valuable political support in Virginia. He was defeated by Richard Henry Lee and William Grayson in his candidacy for the United States Senate, but in his own district he was chosen a representative to Congress, defeating James Monroe, who seems to have had the powerful support of Patrick Henry.
Madison took his seat in the House of Representatives in April 1789, and assumed a leading part in the legislation necessary to the organization of the new government. He drafted a Tariff Bill giving certain notable advantages to nations with which the United States had commercial treaties, hoping to force Great Britain into a similar treaty; but his policy of discrimination against England was rejected by Congress. It was his belief that such a system of retaliation would remove the possibility of war arising from commercial quarrels. He introduced resolutions calling for the establishment of three executive departments, foreign affairs, treasury and war, the head of each removable by the president. Most important of all, he proposed nine amendments to the constitution, embodying suggestions made by a number of the ratifying states, especially those made by Virginia at the instance of George Mason; and the essential principles of Madison's proposed amendments were included in a Bill of Rights, adopted by the states in the form of ten amendments. The absence of a Bill of Rights from the constitution as first adopted had been the point on which the opposition had made common cause, and the adoption of this now greatly weakened the same opposition. Although a staunch friend of the constitution, Madison believed, however, that the instrument should be interpreted conservatively and not be made the means of introducing radical innovations. The tide of strict construction was setting in strongly in his state, and he was borne along with the flood. It is very probable that Jefferson's influence over Madison, which was greater than Hamilton's, contributed to this result. Madison now opposed Hamilton's measures for the funding of the debt, the assumption of state debts, and the establishment of a National Bank, and on other questions he sided more and more with the opposition, gradually assuming its leadership in the House of Representatives and labouring to confine the powers of the national government within the narrowest possible limits; his most important argument against Hamilton's Bank was that the constitution did not provide for it explicitly, and could not properly be construed into permitting its creation. Madison, Jefferson and Randolph were consulted by Washington, and they advised him not to sign the bill providing for the Bank, but Hamilton's counter-argument was successful. On the same constitutional grounds Madison objected to the carrying out of the recommendations in Hamilton's famous report on manufactures (Dec. 5, 1791), which favoured a protective tariff. In the presidential campaign of 1792 Madison seems to have lent his influence to the determined efforts of the Jeffersonians to defeat John Adams by electing George Clinton vice-president. In 1793-1796 he strongly criticized the administration for maintaining a neutral position between Great Britain and France, writing for the public press five papers (signed “Helvidius”), attacking the “monarchical prerogative of the executive” as exercised in the proclamation of neutrality in 1793 and denying the president's right to recognize foreign states. He found in Washington's attitude — as in Hamilton's failure to pay an instalment of the moneys due France — an “Anglified complexion,” in direct opposition to the popular sympathy with France and French Republicanism. In 1794 he tried again his commercial weapons, introducing in the House of Representatives resolutions based on Jefferson's report on commerce, advising retaliation against Great Britain and discrimination in commercial and navigation laws in favour of France; and he declared that the friends of Jay's treaty were “a British party systematically aiming at an exclusive connexion with the British government,” and in 1796 strenuously but unsuccessfully opposed the appropriation of money to carry this treaty into effect. Still thinking that foreign nations could be coerced through their commercial interests, he scouted as visionary the idea that Great Britain would go to war on a refusal to carry Jay's treaty into effect, thinking it inconceivable that Great Britain “would wantonly make war” upon a country which was the best market she had in the world for her manufactures, and one with which her export trade was so much larger than her import.
In 1797 Madison retired from Congress, but not to a life of inactivity. In 1798 he joined Jefferson in opposing the Alien and Sedition Laws, and Madison himself wrote the resolutions of the Virginia legislature declaring that it viewed “the powers of the Federal government as resulting from the compact to which the states are parties, as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting that compact; as no further valid than they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that, in case of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states, who are parties thereto, have the right and are in duty bound to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.” The Virginia resolutions and the Kentucky resolutions (the latter having been drafted by Jefferson) were met by dissenting resolutions from the New England states, from New York, and from Delaware. In answer to these, Madison, who had become a member of the Virginia legislature in the autumn of 1799, wrote for the committee to which they were referred a report elaborating and sustaining in every point the phraseology of the Virginia resolutions.
Upon the accession of the Republican party to power in 1801, Madison became secretary of state in Jefferson's cabinet, a position for which he was well fitted both because he possessed to a remarkable degree the gifts of careful thinking and discreet and able speaking, and of large constructive ability; and because he was well versed in constitutional and international law and practised a fairness in discussion essential to a diplomat. During the eight years that he held the portfolio of state, he had continually to defend the neutral rights of the United States against the encroachments of European belligerents; in 1806 he published An Examination of the British Doctrine which subjects to Capture a Neutral Trade not open in Time of Peace, a careful argument — with a minute examination of authorities on international law — against the rule of war of 1756 extended by Great Britain in 1793 and 1803.
During Jefferson's presidency and whilst Madison was secretary of state, by the purchase of Louisiana, Madison's campaign begun in 1780 for the free navigation of the Mississippi was brought to a successful close. The candidate in 1808 of the Republican party, although bitterly opposed in the party by John Randolph and George Clinton, Madison was elected president, defeating C. C. Pinckney, the Federalist candidate, by 122 votes to 47. Madison had no false hopes of placating the Federalist opposition, but as the preceding administration was one with which he was in harmony, his position was different from that of Jefferson in 1801, and he had less occasion for removing Federalists from office. Jefferson's peace policy — or, more correctly, Madison's peace policy — of commercial restrictions to coerce Great Britain and France he continued to follow until 1812, when he was forced to change these futile commercial weapons for a policy of war, which was very popular with the extreme French wing of his party. There is a charge, which has never been proved or disproved, that Madison's real desire was for peace, but that in order to secure the renomination he yielded to that wing of his party which was resolved on war with Great Britain. The only certain fact is that Madison, whatever were his personal feelings in this matter, acted according to the wishes of a majority of the Republicans; but whether in doing so he was influenced by the desire of another nomination is largely a matter of conjecture. Madison was renominated on the 18th of May 1812, issued his war message on the 1st of June, and in the November elections he was re-elected, defeating De Witt Clinton by 128 votes to 89. His administration during the war was pitiably weak. His cabinet in great part had been dictated to him in 1809 by a senatorial clique, and it was hopelessly discordant; for two years he was to all intents and purposes his own secretary of state, Robert Smith being a mere figure-head of whom he gladly got rid in 1811, giving Monroe the vacant place. Madison himself had attempted alternately to prevent war by his “commercial weapons” and to prepare the country for war, but he had met with no success, because of the tricky diplomacy of Great Britain and of France, and because of the general distrust of him coupled with the particular opposition to the war of the prosperous New England Federalists, who suggested with the utmost seriousness that his resignation should be demanded. In brief, Madison was too much the mere scholar to prove a strong leader in such a crisis. The supreme disgrace of the administration was the capture and partial destruction in August 1814 of the city of Washington — this was due, however, to incompetence of the military and not to any lack of prudence on the cabinet's part. In general, Congress was more blamable than either the president or his official family, or the army officers. With the declaration of peace the president again gained a momentary popularity much like that he had won in 1809 by his apparent willingness at that time to fight France.
Retiring from the presidency in 1817, Madison returned to his home, Montpelier (in Orange county, Virginia), which he left in no official capacity save in 1829, when he was a delegate to the state constitutional convention and served on several of its committees. Montpelier, like Jefferson's Monticello and Monroe's Oak-Hill, was an expensive bit of “gentleman farming,” which with his generous Virginia hospitality nearly ruined its owner financially. Madison's home was peculiarly a centre for literary travellers in his last years; when he was eighty-three he was visited by Harriet Martineau, who reported her conversations with him in her Retrospect of Western Travel (1838). He took a great interest in education — his library was left to the university of Virginia, where it was burned in 1895 — in emancipation, and in agricultural questions, to the very last. He died at Montpelier on the 28th of June 1836. Madison married, in 1794, Dorothy Payne Todd (1772-1849), widow of John Todd, a Philadelphia lawyer. She had great social charm, and upon Madison's entering Jefferson's cabinet became “first lady” in Washington society. Her plump beauty was often remarked — notably by Washington Irving — in contrast to her husband's delicate and feeble figure and wizened face — for even in his prime Madison was, as Henry Adams says, “a small man, quiet, somewhat precise in manner, pleasant, fond of conversation, with a certain mixture of ease and dignity in his address.” Her son, spoiled by his mother and his step-father, became a wild young fellow and added his debts to the heavy burden of Montpelier upon Madison.
Madison's portrait was painted by Gilbert Stuart and by Charles Willson Peale; Giuseppe Ceracchi made a marble bust of him in 1792 and John H. J. Browere another in 1827, now in possession of the Virginia Historical Society at Richmond. Though commonly dignified and a little stiff he seems to have had a strong sense of humour and he was fond of telling a good story. Henry Clay, contrasting him with Jefferson, said that Jefferson had more genius, Madison more judgment and common sense; that Jefferson was a visionary and a theorist; Madison cool, dispassionate, practical and safe. The broadest and most accurate scholar among the “founders and fathers,” he was particularly an expert in constitutional history and theory. In the great causes for which Madison fought in his earlier years religious freedom and separation of church and state, the free navigation of the Mississippi, and the adoption of the constitution he met with success. His greatest and truest fame is as the “father of the constitution.” The “commercial weapons” with which he wished to prevent armed conflict proved less useful in his day than they have since been in international disputes.
Authorities. — Madison's personality is perplexingly vague; the biographies of him are little more than histories of the period, and the best history of the later period in which he was before the public, Henry Adams's History of the United States from 1801 to 1817 (1889-1890), gives the clearest sketch and best criticism of him. The lives of Madison are: J. Q. Adams's (Boston, 1850); W. C. Rives's (Boston, 1859-1869, 3 vols.), covering the period previous to 1797; S. H. Gay's (Boston, 1884) in the “American Statesmen Series”; and Gaillard Hunt's (New York, 1902). Madison's Writings (7 vols., New York, 1900-1906) were edited by Hunt, who also edited The Journal of the Debates in the Convention which framed the Constitution of the United States, as Recorded by James Madison (2 vols., New York, 1908). See also Mrs Madison's Memoirs and Letters (Boston, 1887) and Maud Wilder Goodwin, Dolly Madison (New York, 1897).
↑ Thirty years later Madison's arguments for the Virginia resolutions and the resolutions themselves were freely used by Calhoun and his followers in support of his doctrine of nullification. But Madison insisted that the Resolutions of 1798 did not involve the principles of nullification. Nearly all his arguments, especially where he attempts to interpret Jefferson's writings on the point, notably the Kentucky resolutions, are rather strained and specious, but it does seem that the Virginia resolutions were based on a different idea from Calhoun's doctrine of nullification. Madison's theory was that the legislature of Virginia, being one of the bodies which had chosen delegates to the constitutional convention, was legally capable of considering the question of the constitutionality of laws passed by the Federal government, and that the state of Virginia might invite other states to join her, but could not singly, as Calhoun argued, declare any law of the Federal legislature null and void. (It is to be noted the words “null and void” were in Madison's first draft of the Virginia resolutions, but that they were omitted by the Virginia legislature.) It is notable, besides, that Madison had always feared that the national congress would assume too great power, that he had approved of Supreme Court checks on the national legislature, and of veto power by a council of revision.
↑ Clay's opinion is given in a report written by Mrs Samuel H. Smith of a conversation in 1829 between Clay and her husband, a prominent politician.

Norris Ford covered bridge, is situated on CR 300 North, northeast of Rushville, Rush County, Indiana.
It was built in 1916, using Covered Burr Arch Truss construction, by E.L. Kennedy, has a span of 147 feet, and crosses over Big Flat Rock River.
This is the next to last bridge constructed by the Kennedy family. It does not feature the trademark scrolls and brackets found on earlier Kennedy spans. They were Victorian styling that was considered to be out of vogue by the early 20th century.

Keeping your car always clean can be a hard task and keeping your car flooring and carpeting spotless and gleaming is an even a harder task. Fortunately, good quality Isuzu Trooper floor mats have been created to serve as a very effective barrier between mud (and other unwanted elements) and your car's flooring. There are many benefits in investing in car floor mats. Made from heavy-duty, high-grade, premium rubber, custom floor mats can hold almost two gallons of melted snow. Car floor mats are specifically built to withstand just about anything with its deep ridges and tall side dams. As you enter your vehicle, the ridged sections of the floor mats scrape your shoes or boots, and the residue is contained within the body of the mats. Thus, dirt is kept away. Your house is kept clean as well.
You do not need to worry about cramping vehicle style for function when you put in the Isuzu Trooper floor mats as these mats come in a variety of colors to match any preference and materials to weather any situation. Furthermore, you can actually have your floor mats customized to complement the look and feel of your vehicle. Such floor mats are simply of top quality, and it boils down to one thing: its premium natural rubber material combined with its sturdy construction and synthetics.

Before starting my formal explanation about server memory or RAM maybe I should first educate you about what a server is exactly. I am pretty sure we hear and also use this word server many times when we talk about a technology related topic. Although many of us have heard about this word, not much of us really understand what a server is and what it exactly does. Well a server is a computer that is able to store data for processing and to centralize resources in a given network. Servers take the load off of the workstations in a network environment, speeding up processing and saving resources. There are server farms, which will be a collection of many of these computers to serve data to the internet or private networks.
Throughout the lovely and rapid years of the unbelievable changes and development of technological growth also managed to have an accessibility towards increasing the memory capacity of server memory. Many technological researchers have worked hard to make this a success. Indeed their hard work paid off by releasing the DDR3 memory enabling it for servers to use in the year 2007. Comparing its new speed with the current memory, it was indeed jaw dropping and an impressive innovation put to practice. Once the generation experienced this speedy DDR3, the rates of data and peak transfers too began to increase in speeds.
As mentioned before that technology grows very fast on its development sector it is also a known fact that each and every day there is something new invented better than before. There were more and more innovations in server memory becoming more advanced than the earlier one. There are many more models of server CPU known as LGA2011 CPU socket, E5 chip, PC3 12,800 are some well-known popular server memories that came in for our usage in the past. Surely there will be better ones being invented as we know it’s always something better than what we already have with us.
Some or maybe few individuals or companies stick with their same old server, nevertheless, it works well indeed which is questionable to them why they got to change it so. But then, on the other hand, talking about keeping up the rat race, some companies constantly are very vigilant and try to constantly change their memory servers and often get all their technological equipment upgraded on time. Many companies who deal with strong competition have to keep up with the pace of upgrades in order to be competitive.
Not forgetting to mention that we should not look at the technology which came in our leap years of technological development as they were the main roots for today’s advancements. Servers that also came during this era are yet viable and provides the service of what you want it to do. It serves the exact purpose of its very own invention although it may be slow and not have a vast capacity of memory power. But all, in all it gets works successfully.

According to a new poll, 58 percent of Americans are trying to avoid too much sugar. This is a way higher percentage than people trying to avoid other things, like calories, cholesterol, fat or salt.
Sugar really is public enemy number one. And deservedly so.

Hopefully by now you've started “spring cleaning” your home area and included your devices. I know many people don't really think they need to clean up their PC or laptop but even those areas need your attention.
Wondering what to do to get your PC or Laptop running a bit smooth and cleaning?
Here are (7) digital house-keeping tips from Kaspersky Lab that can keep your PC and personal info secure and running smoothly.
After each tip, Kaspersky PURE 3.0 shows how it can perform these tips at the push of a button. Kaspersky PURE software includes much more than just anti-virus protection...it comes loaded with free tools that can keep your identity from being stolen and your bank accounts secure.
Back. It. Up. - You can put your documents, photos, music and more in an online storage locker, so in case of emergency or if your computer is stolen or damaged, you can access your info from anywhere. A free service like DropBox is a good option. Another option is to make copies onto a physical hard-drive, like a USB thumb drive.
Kaspersky PURE 3.0 is integrated with DropBox for online storage, and lets you automatically backup files to an online storage or physical storage device.
Get rid of programs you don’t use - All those old programs you never use (game, photo viewers, etc.) still take up disc space and slow your overall system down, especially if they run in the background at start up. Outdated programs can also be an open door for cybercriminals to easily gain access to your computer. Uninstall the programs you don’t want, and make sure you install software updates when prompted.
Advanced security software, like Kaspersky PURE 3.0, will actually monitor programs on your machine that are out of date, and will make sure these programs aren’t exploited by the bad guys.
Clean your desktop: - Your desktop gets cluttered up over time from downloads, but you should have very few programs that permanently live there – the more that are there, the higher the burden on your system. Look at your desktop and pare down to the bare essentials; get rid of the things you don’t need, or place documents and other applications into appropriate folders elsewhere in your system.
Kaspersky PURE 3.0 will analyze the settings on your Internet Explorer, and make changes to the information storage settings to keep you safer online.
Pick new passwords - All the sticky-notes on your desk with passwords written down isn’t just messy, it’s unsafe. Update your old passwords to new ones, and remember to make them long and complex. Don’t use any word found in the dictionary or any names, like pets or relatives. Mix up letters, numerals and non-alphanumeric symbols. That can be a lot to remember, so you might want to use a password manager, which is a digital vault on your computer that keeps track of all your logins for online accounts (email, bank accounts, social networks, etc). This way you can change your login information to include strong passwords and not have to worry about remembering them.
Kaspersky PURE 3.0 comes with a built-in password manager that will automatically enter your passwords when they’re needed…that’s faster AND safer. The password manager can even suggest strong passwords when you create new accounts, and can save all your passwords to a USB drive so you can take your login information with you and use it on any computer.
Before you Throw Out your Old Computer - If you’re taking the ultimate clean-up step of buying a new computer, don’t just throw your old one next to the curb. Even if you try to delete all the files on your old computer, skilled crooks can easily grab your old machine and find all your personal details, bank accounts, passwords, and more. That’s the same reason why you should throw paper bills in a shredder…so use a specialized data-shredding program to make sure your old machine isn’t harvested to steal your identity.
Kaspersky PURE 3.0 includes a free file-shredder that makes sure your data stays permanently deleted.
Literally clean your computer - It gets dirty over time, so get rid of the dust and crumbs and grease and general nastiness that builds up over the months. A compressed air canister and a monitor-appropriate cloth will be essential tools.

A very close Lib-Dem/Tory contest, with plenty of Labour votes to pinch! Billy Brag has a website devoted to booting out Tories in Dorset an the Lib-Dems should do it.
Radio 4's 'World at One' recently did an article on that hoary old chestnut of Lib-Lab cooperation. They suggested that a deal had been done so that the LibDems would run a paper candidate in South Dorset (where Labour are hot on the heels of the Tories) in return for Labour not putting any effort in here, where the LibDems are just 682 votes behind the Tories. Prominent local resident Billy Bragg (a former rock singer of socialist inclination) has announced he will be voting LibDem tactically to defeat the Tories. At present Dorset has an all-Tory delegation in the House (the only other county represented by a full slate of Tories is Surrey). However all that should change come June 7.
With all the problems of the Tories, I think it will be a LD gain. There is a very important support of LD in the south. LD will have many gains in this region.
If the vote splits between Lib-Dems and Labour see the Tories hang on to this one. The length of Hague's coattails will also be a big factor.

Best wishes to one and all, in the Year of the Boar.
Seeing out the old year in Tokyo with a few glances back, to the side, and ahead to 2019: my year-end column in The Japan Times.
Good eating and good health to one and all in the Year of the Boar.
The sands of time are rapidly running out on 2018. But before the Year of the Boar comes trotting into view, there’s still a chance to pause, look back and appreciate some of the highlights and new arrivals from the past 12 months — and to wish all Japan Times readers good eating and good health in 2019.
Japan will see a new Emperor installed next April. But for many people it already felt like the end of an era when the venerable Tsukiji fish market was finally shuttered this autumn and its operations transferred to nearby Toyosu. Despite a few glitches — and an entire day deprived of fresh fish for the city’s sushi chefs — the move went smoothly, in the face of grave misgivings about logistics and lingering environmental pollution at the new site.
Meanwhile, several major new developments have mushroomed above the already crowded city skyline. In gastronomic terms, none are bigger than Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, now home to the capital’s outpost of Nanzenji Hyotei, one of Kyoto’s most esteemed temples of kaiseki (traditional multicourse cuisine); Sushi Namba, whose original location in Asagaya remains one of the hottest tickets in town; refined soba noodles at Sobagami; and the plush new digs of Nihonryori RyuGin.
In nearby Ginza, Hiroyuki Sato (formerly at Sushi Tokami) opened the stunning Hakkoku to considerable acclaim in February. Five months later, another up-and-coming sushi artisan, Takao Ishiyama (formerly at Sushi Ya), launched his own self-named counter, Sushi Ishiyama. Meanwhile, on the west side of town, the Nakameguro area saw the arrival in June of the intimate 10-seat Sushi Tsubomi, helmed by Sushi Saito alumnus Makoto Maruyama.
Looking at other genres, the new Katsukami in Ginza is serving premium tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlets) that already rank among the finest in the city. In Daikanyama, Simplicité lives up to its name, both in its spare, uncluttered decor and chef Kaoru Aihara’s stylish modern French cuisine. And over in nether Asakusa, Noboru Arai already boasts two Michelin stars for his superb (and too often overlooked) Hommage; now he has a casual, bistro-style second restaurant, Noura, to complement it.
There has been plenty of import action, too. Hong Kong’s much lauded dim sum emporium Tim Ho Wan landed in Hibiya to massive media coverage. Even eight months later, its cha siu bao and other signature dishes are still generating some of the longest lines in the city. Another well trumpeted clone, Barcelona seafood specialist Xiringuito Escribà, made its bow in the new Shibuya Stream building, though sadly its trademark paellas fail to live up to the fanfare.
A growing number of Japanese chefs are making moves abroad. Sushi Saito now has a branch in Hong Kong. Florilege opened a Taipei spin-off, Logy, in October, and Den is set to follow suit in Taiwan next year. Meanwhile yakitori master Yoshiteru Ikegawa is counting down the weeks till the grill is fired up in Torishiki’s first overseas branch, in New York City.
And, finally, one to look forward to: Milan-based chef Yoji Tokuyoshi (ex-Osteria Francescana) is opening a branch of his self-named Michelin-starred restaurant in Tokyo’s Jinbocho area. To be called AlterEgo, it will feature a take on his cucina contaminata — Italian cuisine filtered through his Japanese sensibility — and is due to open Feb. 4. Bring on 2019!
The 2019 Michelin Guide Tokyo was another bumper edition, bestowing 230 restaurants with stars and a further 254 with Bib Gourmand mentions. Among the highlights: L’Osier finally regained its three-star status; a third ramen shop won a star; and an onigiri (rice ball) specialist got a Bib Gourmand. Although the print version is only published in Japanese, the full list in English can be read online at https://bit.ly/2SdDAeB.
For a more idiosyncratic take on the city, look no further than Yuri Nomura’s bilingual guide, “Tokyo Eatrip.” Named after her own restaurant in Harajuku and reflecting the same down-to-earth ethos, it shines a spotlight on places that are the antithesis of haute gastronomy.
Small owner-chef restaurants working with farmers around the country, long-established neighborhood eateries, independent coffee shops, and simple, wholesome noodle counters: Nomura believes it’s the personal that counts, not corporate interests — and shows that Tokyo has so much more to offer than Michelin-level fine dining.
"Instead of his usual modern Shanghainese cuisine, he has developed a line of excellent dim sum take-out items, including steamed buns, spring rolls, radish pie and superb little egg tarts. He also has an interesting range of drinks, including an amazing foamy pu-erh tea. Not to be missed."
The poster behind chef Minami is by designer/artist Hiroshi Fujiwara, the man who conceived and designed the new Ginza Sony Park – and, before that, the now long-gone Park-Ing pop-up, including the reincarnated Cafe Ropé – who is apparently a big fan of the main Mimosa restaurant near Omotesando.

As we concluded our study of Peter’s first letter last Sunday we were reminded that our enemy or adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. As Christians we should know that although we hear his roar everyday – through sounds of temptation and the noise of the world – he has no power to devour us, let alone bite us, unless we allow him to. We are children of God, and although Satan is the god of this world and has influence in it, the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world.
Peter knows that this is true because it’s based upon faith – the faith we have in Jesus Christ, who defeated Satan and conquered sin and death for us – and it’s this faith that shields us against the attacks of the evil one, and it’s faith that gives us a firm foundation in this shaky world; and it’s faith that provides a sure and certain hope, because our faith is not based on what we see but upon the promises of God and their fulfillment in His Son and our Savior Jesus Christ. Peter opens his second letter by talking about this faith; Christian faith, biblical faith; a faith that is irreplaceable and active. This is nothing like it or that compares with it; and there is nothing as dynamic and effective as a true and living faith in Jesus Christ.
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
The first thing that Peter points out to us in verses 1 and 2 is the preciousness of our Christian faith. After his introduction he writes: “To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours.” Peter uses this word “precious” in his first letter and again in verse 4. When we think of something that is precious we think of something valuable or costly, but in addition to this the Greek word Peter uses also means honor or privilege. Our Christian faith is not just valuable and costly, because we receive it based upon the precious blood of Christ, but it’s a privilege of God’s grace. The point is that faith is not something you can buy or purchase, but it’s a gift that is given to you by God through Jesus Christ. You see, faith is irreplaceable because you can’t get it anywhere else; it’s precious because it’s a unique gift from God. And this precious faith is based solely upon the righteousness of our God and Savior. Peter is writing to those who have received this gift of faith.
In Romans 3 Paul says, “This righteousness from God comes through faith in Christ to all who believe.” Faith comes from hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ and believing it. This is the saving faith we have as Christians because of what Jesus Christ did for us. Peter tells us in the rest of our passage what this faith does for us and expects of us, once we receive it and we become children of God. Our Christian faith is to be active and growing because it is precious – it’s a privilege and an honor to be God’s children, and as such we are to be demonstrating who we are by how we live. Before we move on to look at the active part of our faith, let’s look at three reasons why our faith is precious. First, it’s apostolic faith. Peter says, “You have received a faith as precious as ours.” The gift of faith given to Peter and to the apostles is the same gift of faith given to all of us.
There are not different levels or categories of Christian faith, as if the apostles or other designated leaders would be on a higher level. Peter was an apostle but he was also a fellow servant, who through faith in Christ received the same gift of salvation. Second, our faith is precious because it’s mutual faith. There are no distinctions among Christians. Peter told the Jewish Christians in Acts 15 that the Gentiles were saved in the same way as we are. We all share the same faith which makes us equal members of the family of God. There is one God; one faith; one baptism; and this precious faith unifies us around our God and Savior Jesus Christ, through whom we receive this gift of faith.
And then third, our faith is precious because it’s a growing faith. Faith in Christ alone is what saves us and brings us into the family of God, but the nature of this faith is that it grows or matures through our knowledge of God. Peter says in verse 2: “Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” Faith grows as we know God better. Knowledge of God is not static, meaning it doesn’t just stand still or stop moving forward because you now believe in God, Jesus and the Bible. As we grow in our knowledge, we grow in our fellowship with God, and this produces grace and peace in abundance. “Abundance” means to be multiplied; and it’s through this ongoing knowledge of God in our minds and in our hearts, that our faith matures.
Our faith in Christ gives us access to live godly lives. Simply put, we live in an ungodly world, and we face real temptations and struggles that play on our sinful nature and selfish desires, but as Christians we have access to divine power. In fact Peter says that this divine power gives us everything we need for life and godliness. We are not lacking any spiritual resource necessary to live the Christian life, yet at times we don’t use what we have been given. This spiritual power comes to us through our knowledge of Christ’s glory and goodness. This divine power is revealed to us by Christ and it is given to us by knowing Christ. Peter’s point is not that we know about Christ (facts), but that we know Him (relational). Paul said in Philippians 3 that “I want to know Him and the power of His resurrection.” In Philippians 4 he says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (or who gives me power).” Both Peter and Paul make the connection between knowledge and action; for by knowing Christ by faith, and getting to know Him better, we have the ability to live for Christ; we have access to His power and His strength in our lives.
The primary purpose of this power is to become Christ-like. God chose us and called us through Christ; and gave us the gift of faith in order to be conformed to the image of Christ. It’s through these things – these great redemptive actions of God, as we read in verse 4 – that God has given us His very great and precious promises. God’s promises are grounded in and fulfilled in Jesus Christ; and not only has God through His precious promises given us a precious faith; He has also given us His power to become like Christ. We participate in the divine nature as our faith grows and matures and we become more and more Christ-like.
God gives us the power to grow and develop our new life in Christ, but in order to do we need the power to escape sin and evil in this world. Peter is not calling us to “escape” in the sense of hiding or separating from the world, but in the sense of changing our lives as we live in the world. It’s as he said in I Peter 1:23: “For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” We have been changed; through the power of God’s Word we have been given a new heart and new life by faith; and this same power will continue to change us. We are no longer to copy or follow the world’s “evil desires” but follow the desires of Christ. God doesn’t just give someone “faith” and then leave them alone to live anyway they want. When God gives true faith, along with this faith comes His power; the power to produce the fruit of faith; and the fruit of godly living. This is why Martin Luther said, “We are saved by faith alone, but it’s not a faith that is alone.” The nature of true faith – faith that saves us – is one that is living and action. Peter speaks about this truth as we move to the third point in verses 5 – 9: the proof of our Christian faith.
For this reason, make every effort to add to you faith goodness; and to goodness knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
The reason that we are to “add” all of these spiritual qualities to our faith is to show or to prove that our faith is genuine and precious. True faith produces these spiritual qualities because of God’s power working in our lives. Peter says “make every effort” meaning to work diligently and as hard as possible to “add” or contribute in a meaningful way to the gracious gift of salvation you have received through Christ. We are not adding to our salvation or contributing to the gift of faith, rather we making every effort to grow in our faith. This is why we add these spiritual qualities; it’s in order to have a growing faith. We don’t have time to look at each quality or fruit listed this morning, but each one is necessary for an active and growing faith. I want to touch briefly on the reasons we are to make sure that we have these qualities in our lives.
Peter doesn’t say that such a person isn’t a Christian, but they have closed their eyes to the truth; and have “forgotten” the significance of the faith they profess. The person who makes no effort to grow in his or her faith is in reality reneging on this faith. It’s not faith that is deficient; it’s the person’s understanding of it. And so the third reason we add these spiritual qualities is in order to not undermine our faith. It’s foolish to say you have faith but have nothing to show for it. This is what James is teaching us when he says, “Faith without works is dead.” The point is that the person who has no works or fruit doesn’t understand the nature of Christian faith – they have “forgotten” – either purposefully or ignorantly – the profound meaning of forgiveness and the preciousness of true faith.
God’s sovereign initiative in our lives to give us the gift of faith is the only reason that we are able to work out anything. He took the initiative to save us and He continues to take the initiative to sanctify us; and because He does we are called to persevere in our faith. We are called to be responsible and to make every effort to grow in our faith by increasing the spiritual qualities of our lives; and then as Peter says in verse 10, “Be eager to make your calling and election sure.” We have a calling and a responsibility to live out our Christian faith; to prove and to give evidence of the work or God’s grace in our lives. Next week will we continue to look at what this means in light of God’s sovereign grace and free gift of faith.
The perseverance of the Christian faith is not really about whether you will be saved or not – that’s totally based upon Christ’s action and work not yours’ – but it’s about whether or not you are living in the assurance of this salvation and the joy of a precious and irreplaceable faith.

VORTAL's solution was implemented both in the civic administration and in public companies, which have achieved savings of 27% across all purchasing activity.
Through the use of VORTAL electronic auctions, this entity achieved huge savings in a fully transparent, participative and efficient procedure.
We helped the Porto Institute of Engineering to reorganize, streamline and cut their clutter – allowing them to do more with less.
By systematically organizing their process and expertly aligning their skills, VORTAL helped Mota-Engil integrate and innovate.
The University opted for VORTAL. A pilot test was carried out in which the electricity procurement record was processed. As well as tendering, this procedure also included an e-auction.
By using VORTAL’S multi-criteria evaluation tool, ANA spent less time assessing their tender proposals, and more time doing their day job.
By creating a combined proposal for 15 different agencies, the ministry enjoyed substantial savings on their cleaning contracts.

When it comes to choosing my favorite console, it gets pretty hard to decide. I have so many memories with all of them both good and bad. In terms of a system that changed my life, well, it has to be the Super Nintendo. I can still remember coming home from Kindergarten and opening up this as my Birthday present. It came with Super Mario World and a mail-in coupon to get Super Mario All-Stars, which my parents were savvy enough to do before I opened up the console. This was the first system I could call my own and it was a fantastic feeling.
While I think there have been some great strides in graphics since, obviously, to me, the SNES was the pinnacle of pixel art. That’s why so many games still hold up on a visual level. Not all games were created equally though. I sat down and thought hard about these games on both sides of the line and it was a lot harder than I thought especially since I tried to limit myself to selecting only one game from a series. I didn’t want to talk about Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III for example. That said Mario did make it on here a lot so I’m not perfect. Point is some of my favorite games look pretty cruddy nowadays, which was a difficult truth to swallow. So follow me on this journey through the best and worst graphics found on the good old Super Nintendo.
Super Mario World still looks fantastic and is probably my favorite game in the franchise, but its sequel, Yoshi’s Island, definitely has a more distinct visual style. It holds up incredibly well. You wouldn’t think a crayon aesthetic could work after a game like Donkey Kong Country came out. Actually, funny story, this was planned to adopt that graphical faux 3D style, which you can still see remnants of in the beginning cutscene. Thankfully the team negated that push and went whimsical instead.
Pilotwings? What even is that? I know it is kind of a forgotten series that barely got off the ground, ha, at Nintendo. It was meant to showcase the Super Nintendo’s graphical capabilities. I still remember being amazed by my cousin playing it, jumping out of a plane into what I thought was the most realistic 3D landscape a 2D console could render. Going back to it now, well, let’s just say I feel pretty silly for thinking those things now.
Pixel for pixel, I don’t think there is a better game on the Super Nintendo. It is the pinnacle of sprite art for the system and one that Squaresoft perfected to a fine point. Sure, Final Fantasy III also looks great, but compared to this it looks less amazing. I mean it doesn’t hurt that everything about the game is perfect from the story to the characters to the music to the gameplay and I could segue on and on. The point is Chrono Trigger is a masterpiece.
Another game that was celebrated at the time for pushing the graphical capabilities of the 16-Bit era was Star Fox. Here is the thing with that though. I never thought it looked good. Sure, call me a hipster child, but it is true. I had no concept of what a frame rate was at the time, but I knew it ran a bit choppy. Not to mention the ugly aesthetic of a bunch of triangles flying around each other. I couldn’t have been less wowed.
Kirby Super Star was my jam back in the day. While I still think it is great now, there is something about the visuals I don’t like. They kind of look like plastic if that makes sense. That’s why even though I think it’s a better game I went with Kirby’s Dream Land 3, which shares that crayon style found in Yoshi’s Island. It’s a lot less challenging, but it does have tons of adorable pets Kirby can befriend and who doesn’t want that?
For the most part, remakes, or remasters are supposed to better than the original games, right? In the case of the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, you could say they are better on an ease of use standpoint since they balanced the games a bit. Unfortunately, I think it looks less enticing than the NES originals. The music is also not as good. It’s a weird package all around. Now granted I do like being able to actually beat these games for a change.
Speaking of Super Street Fighter II, well good buddy, let me apologize to you. I thought I wanted my fighting games to be visually superior and bloodier, but I was wrong. Of all the fighting games of this generation, this is the one I can easily go back to and have a good time with no matter what edition we’re talking about. For all intents and purposes this was the game that opened up the door for competitors. There were fighting games before this, but this was the one that perfected it.
Let’s keep this fighting game train going for another eye opening experience in the form of Mortal Kombat. What was better to me than 3D graphics? Real life models were put into my games. Yes, I, and collectively my generation, were fooled into thinking digitizing actors was the wave of the future. Oh how wrong we were. It is beyond ugly now. On a side note I would love to see Mortal Kombat XI pay homage to this style. That would be a baller move for DLC.
Hey Nintendo, I have an idea for you. Why don’t you make another 2D style Metroid game akin to Super Metroid? Why try and outdo yourselves? I know you think you hit perfection with this, which is true, and sure sales might not reflect reviews, but listen to us. Super Metroid is a gorgeous piece of art through and through. Personally I think the original’s remake is slightly better on GBA, but that’s only because it had the benefit in being able to take DNA out of Super Metroid to retroactively make itself better.
This is an example of a title that holds up with its gameplay, but not so much with its graphics. Yes, I’m talking about you Donkey Kong Country. It is truly a mesmerizing experience to recall playing this game as a kid, thinking it looked real and then to play it now. The results are obvious. It looks rough. Again, this is coming from someone who still likes the core, but the visuals are just nightmarish blobs of pixel trash pretending to be realistic.
The jump from Mega Man 3 to Mega Man X was a world-shattering event. I know there were games after, but the third game is the last my family bought. The sentiment holds true in regard to any of Mega Man’s 8-bit adventures. Mega Man X is the prime example of how a company should evolve a franchise and not just with visuals either, which again, are truly powerful. Why can’t we get a sequel in the vein of Mega Man 9 for this sub-series? You can hear me dish some more if you’d like.
I know what you’re thinking. Who the heck cares about Batman Forever in any regards whether it is the movie, or the game? Who even remembers it having a game? Well, I do because I rented games a lot as a kid and I ground my teeth against this one. It, like Mortal Kombat II, uses digitized actors instead of actual pixelated sprites. It also used a lot of dark backgrounds to try and mimic the film. Oh and it mimics the film all right. It nails exactly how bad it is minus the fun, zany humor.
Terranigma is sadly a missing gem for those living in North America. That said it did launch in Europe after Japan meaning there is an official English translation. You just need the right cartridge. Anyway I don’t know why it was never brought over here because it’s another amazing action RPG. It looks on par with Secret of Mana, or maybe even better. If I had to remark on something I will say the environments are a bit drabber by comparison.
With this entry let me just say that every Battletoads game and every Double Dragon game looks pretty awful. It’s not about the art, but the behind-kicking gameplay and that’s okay I guess. Point is as fun as this random crossover is, I don’t like the look of it. To me it looks like a flash game if I had to put it into a more modern context. I guess a phone game would be an even better description.
First of all, yes, it is weird that Link has pink hair in the game despite the images in the manual. So you could mark that against this game, but despite that one small nitpick, this game is a beautiful adventure through nostalgia and 16-Bit eyes. Breath of the Wild got pretty close to dethroning this as my new favorite game in the series, but it just wasn’t quite enough. My love for A Link to the Past trumps all.
Super Mario Kart was a game I thought would still look great. In my memory, it was right up there with Super Mario World. Then I played it for the first time in over a decade via the SNES mini and boy was I surprised. This was developed by Nintendo? The entire characters look off model like this is some weird bootleg hack someone cobbled together overnight. It was a bit alarming, to say the least. It’s also not that fun anymore.
I think I’ve told this story before, but here it goes. Chrono Trigger is great, yes? Well, I desperately wanted a sequel and that’s when I saw this box on the shelf at FuncoLand, which would later become GameStop. The main character looked like Crono what with his red hair and general design and it was another Squaresoft title. This had to be a sequel! It’s not. It actually came out before Chrono Trigger, but I didn’t care. Don’t play that ugly PS4 remake. Play this SNES version instead!
I can’t believe Castlevania is a series that everyone holds so dear. The first game was remade so many times. Did you know that this is also kind of a remake? It’s so weird to know that now. Thankfully a couple of years later we got Symphony of the Night and all was right again. Anyway, yeah, Super Castlevania IV, remake, or not, was never a game that impressed me. Your character was just too beefy and clunky. It was a disaster.
The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is a better Konami classic that you should pay attention to. It belongs to the long-running Goemon series, which never did that well outside of Japan despite the fact that this game, and the few others that were translated, was excellent. It is kind of like a level based Zelda game with more RPG elements. What really sells it is the art. Not only do the pixels look great, but also everything is so imaginative and full of expression. It’s such a quirky little gem. I have more to say on Goemon too if you care to watch.
Super Punch-Out is nowhere near as ugly as a lot of these other categories. I think the big sprites actually look rather good for the system. That said there’s something just so lackluster about the overall package that I never really cared for it compared to the original game. I guess the animations lack that certain charm. The NES version had to be more colorful given the limited amount of graphics on the console. That limitation is what made that great and this just so so.
I gave Final Fantasy III, or Final Fantasy VI whatever you prefer, the short end of the stick earlier. As an overall experience, I think Chrono Trigger is better, but the one thing I will give kudos to in this game is the expressions. With the diverse cast as large as it is, I can’t help but smile every time one of these playful characters laughs, winks, or what have you. It’s still incredibly charming to witness a couple of decades later.
Rare was the master snake oil salesman of the SNES. They proved to both Nintendo and gamers that new, 3D consoles were not needed because they had unlocked the secrets found within the SNES. At the time I thought a game like Killer Instinct was intense. Whoa, these characters look real. Move over Street Fighter II! Sadly I was a dumb kid who didn’t know any better. It worked on me back then, but playing it now is a reminder of how duped we all were.
Cowabunga, dude! These graphics are totally tubular! I imagine commercials in the 90s for this game had to be as bombastic as that if not more so. Yes, we have come a long way, but these sprites still rock. This is another example of when a remaster is worse than the original. It was so bad the remake on Xbox 360 and PS3 got de-listed. Of course, that’s not the real reason it went away, but I digress. This original is where it is at even if it is short.
Capcom has made some fantastic brawlers in their prime. Final Fight is great, but the one thing I never could get used to was the graphics. There’s just no charm to the enemies, or characters. The art style is too real, which is along the same lines as my problem with Double Dragon. It technically doesn’t look terrible, but again, what bothers me more is the design choices. I can’t deny it’s still rad to beat baddies with a beefy mayor though.
LucasArts was world-renowned for its point and click adventure games in the 80s and 90s. They rarely made anything for consoles and if they did it would usually be in the vein of a port. That said there are some examples of original exclusives like Metal Warriors, which is a fantastic mech shooter. It not only plays great, but the animations are superb. There is a reason why this company was heralded as fantastic artists and storytellers. Don’t let the plain box art and title fool you.
Unless you grew up in the 90s, Revolution X is probably not going to ring any bells. Like Mortal Kombat it used digitized actors as your enemies as you went through auto-scrolling levels just as plain as the ones before. The only reason it is remembered in some regard is that it is a tie-in to the band, Aerosmith. They even sample voices, which sound just about as good as you can imagine. That is to say, it is like a garbage disposal.
EarthBound, at its launch, was disregarded by a lot of people. One, it was a late release for the SNES when 3D consoles were out. Two, the colorful graphics were deemed too childlike. It’s a lot like the backlash for another Nintendo exclusive, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Walker. In the case of that and EarthBound, I think they both hold up amazingly well not just graphically, but on unique levels. There is no RPG like EarthBound. Well, I guess the first and third entries are, haha.
Stunt Race FX, if the name wasn’t clear enough, was another game that used the SNES FX chip. The same one that was responsible for Star Fox. It allowed the system to simulate 3D graphics albeit on a faux level of complexity. At the time I did love this game as I thought it did look better than Star Fox, but also like that game, it is just a bunch of polygons crashing into each other. It’s hard on the eyes.
Okay so let me pitch you this game. What if EarthBound and A Link to the Past had a baby and it was a Western action adventure RPG? Well, that is exactly what Gunman’s Proof is. Unfortunately, its late release on the system prevented it, supposedly, from being localized outside of Japan. Here is the good news though. It has been patched by fans into English and I couldn’t be more grateful to the team that worked on it. The game oozes with whimsy!
Now this, this was a hard one to put on here, but I had to face the facts. While it may be one of the best games on the SNES, it is ugly as heck. At the time, like Donkey Kong Country, I thought it was intense to see a SNES game with full 3D graphics. I absolutely could not believe it. It now looks like a prototype. I’ll still love it to pieces until the day I perish though.

I have recently been involved in a project photographing a cargo company where a number of vehicles have had to be photographed. Part of the brief was to show activity and action, basically that the company is an active company, in contrast to one which appears as slow and stagnant. The whole point is to show that goods to be moved will be done with efficiency and speed.
So movement became an important consideration in the images themselves. Videos show movement as another dimension basically. You can actually see the subject moving as the camera pans with it or follow focuses as it moves toward the camera. movement is therefore fairly obvious. For still images movement needs to be implied. Movement is seen either in the way that it is frozen, or the way that it is blurred during the exposure's duration. For these images I felt that blurred motion demonstrated the concept of movement and speed far more effectively than an image that has frozen motion (which quite frankly would look like the vehicle is parked rather than moving).
A couple of problems need to be solved when you are trying to photograph moving subjects so that the subject stays sharp while the background blurs out. The first is obviously the simple act of panning, that is, moving the camera at the same speed as the moving subject. This is a lot more difficult than it sounds and does take some practice. The image below shows the 8 ton truck that was photographed in front of the warehouse facility. For this image we had the truck drive back and forth in front of the warehouse bays while I panned using an 80-200mm lens. The trick is to get the lens moving at exactly the same speed as the subject as it passes directly in front of the camera. Autofocus does make this easier, but you need to start tracking the vehicle from the very start. A rookie error is to try get the vehicle in motion by starting the pan at the beginning of the actual image capture. Rather, pan or track the vehicle from it's start and fire the shutter just before the moment that it is directly perpendicular to your position. Even then you might find that the edges of the vehicle will show some movement while the centre is pin sharp. This is in effect caused by the angle of view of the lens. Effectively it's as if the edges of the vehicle are moving at a different speed to the centre of the vehicle in relation to the swing of the lens (the last bit is the important bit). Sounds weird, but it's true.
The next image was a little more complicated to capture than simply panning the camera with the moving vehicle. For the forklift I wanted to create an image that showed the forklift turning, but still sharp while the world around it literally spins. We did this indoors thankfully which gave me control over the lighting that we used. Lighting was therefore two strobes firing at 90 degrees to each other (each angled in at 45 degrees) through shoot-through umbrellas. A third strobe gelled with a 1/2 CTO was gaffer taped to a strut on the forklift to push some light into the driver's face and ensure some freezing of movement of him. We then gaffer taped and hung a heavy duty tripod from the palette that the forklift was carrying. The camera (D3x) with a wide angle lens was attached to the tripod so that it hung out over the concrete floor. The driver then slowly drove the forklift in a circular motion while I tripped the shutter via a cable release.
The forklift remains relatively sharp throughout because the camera and forklift stay fixed in relation to one another, unlike the image of the 8 ton truck where the ends of the vehicle seem less sharp than the centre. Still, things didn't work out entirely perfectly and I had to drop a portion of an image captured in perfect stillness over the moving image. The portion in question is the logo on the forklift. It was absolutely imperative that the logo be sharp enough to be read easily. The up and down bumpiness of the forklift moving meant that the logo was slightly shaken in the original image. It was a simple task of firing the shutter while the forklift wasn't moving and layering the logo in Photoshop.
The cover image of this post was also the last image that we shot. For this we drove the large truck onto a double lane highway south of Durban. When we had gotten away from the city, I jumped into the back of a bakkie (pick-up truck to non South Africans) and we orchestrated a little bit of synchronized driving. Whenever the road was relatively quite, we'd move the vehicles closer to each other and try to get them moving at the same speed. I would then shoot as much as possible during these brief moments of synchronization, dragging the shutter through the use of a polarizer and a 3 stop ND filter. Thankfully this worked out really nicely and there was very little I needed to do in post apart from add some local contrast and clean the image of dust bunnies.
This has been an interesting project so far, and one which I have really enjoyed. Showing movement in imagery is a great way of creating more dynamic images that have the potential to be visually arresting. Most important for this particular assignment though, was the fact that the movement tells a story about the product that the client was wanting to sell. That is really the goal of commercial photography.

Solar power promises to change the way electricity is generated in the country, and it has an impact on the real estate sector as well. With the Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising the target of solar electricity generation from 20,000MW to 100,000MW by 2022 at a cost of $100 billion, the market for everything solar has suddenly come to life. As pollution and the rising cost of power hits the consumer, more and more people are becoming attuned to living a ‘green' life. Keeping this in mind, many upcoming residential projects in cities across India are using solar power as their primary energy source.
First, a buyer has to decide what his energy requirements are based on electrical equipment in use in the house. A solar system is good for major electrical appliances except for water heaters and ACs, for which separate, higher-capacity solar panels are available. A solar panel works best on a flat terrace, rather than on slanting surfaces. To access maximum sunlight, the panel should be placed away from shadows.
Even though the upfront cost of installing a solar system is on the higher side, it pays off in the long run and eventually proves economical. A roof-top solar system will cost approximately Rs. 1 lakh per KW (this cost is excluding the cost of batteries) before various incentives offered by different states and electricity boards. It has a life of 25 years and will deliver 90 percent efficiency in the first 10 years of installation, and about 80 percent from years 11-25. Batteries account for almost 30 percent to the cost of the total system.
To generate 2000 watts of electricity, one would need around 200 sq. ft. of space on the terrace. As far as maintenance is concerned, the only cost incurred in a good quality solar system is that of changing the battery, if it is a battery-supported panel. The other components of the system - inverter, wires, etc. should be of top quality, as lower quality will lead to faster wearing out and add on to the maintenance cost. For inverters, the best option is a pure sine wave model. This is slightly expensive, but very efficient and long-lasting.
Since the cost of batteries is prohibitive, various state governments and electricity boards are offering subsidies along with special deals. Any surplus power that a residential solar panel generates can be sold back to the government-operated grid at good prices. For example: if the building's requirement is 5 units of power and the solar panel generates 7 units, the extra 2 units can be sold back to the grid. On rainy our cloudy days, if only 4 units are generated, the additionally required 1 unit can be sourced from the grid, which is chargeable. However, at the end of the month, if the net outage of power towards the grid is more than inflow, the society or individual home owner stand to make a profit.
Gujarat has taken the lead in solar power generation, and is ahead of all other states with a commissioned capacity of 929MW, followed by Rajasthan at 840MW generation. MP, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Punjab and Haryana are now coming out with very aggressive solar power policies focusing on not only giving massive subsidies of as much as 30 percent on installation, but also attractive buyback offers on power.
Going forward, solar power is going to make a decisive change in consumers' strategies for buying homes. For developers, it has become imperative to include solar power generation as part of their project cost, and to install the best possible systems to attract potential clients who are willing to pay a bit extra for living in environment-friendly homes.
-Calculate the cost of solar power generation and compare it with energy rates of the utility company in the area.
-If battery-supported panels are used, ensure that the distance between panel and battery is low, as energy is lost with longer distances.
-Ask about the warranty given on the system.

The War Memorial of the northern French city of of Lille, 'Melancolia' is situated at Place Rihour, adjacent to the present-day Tourist Information Office [Photograph No. 1]. Each year, on 11 November, the anniversary of the 1918 Armistice, and 8 May, the anniversary of V.E. Day 1945, there are memorial services at the memorial.
"To the 83,000 combatants of the Polish Army who fell in the field during the Battle of France for your liberty and ours".
One of the outward signs of remembering those who lost their lives for the cause of liberty is the laying of wreaths. This is an important part of the official ceremonies of 11 November and 8 May at French War Memorials. During WW2 Lille the liberation of Lille was virtually completed by 4 September 1944.
The local cost in lives for the liberation of Lille was at least 50 dead, with approximately a further 600 wounded. Among the Allied liberators who passed through Lille the following day were many Poles. They had fought their way through France in the cause of freedom at the cost of about 83,000 of their number, according to the Lille memorial.
Photograph No. 4 shows some of the wreaths laid at the memorials at Lille by civic and other leaders during the ceremony of 8 May 2013. The wreath in the centre of the photograph was placed there by the Military Governor General of Lille. To the right of the photograph is the wreath laid by the Mayor of Lille, Mme. Martine Aubry (née Delors) on behalf of herself, the Town Council and the citizens of Lille.
Dedicated to the memory of the Free Polish troops who fought - and died - during the battles of 1944 and 1945 leading to the liberation of France and N.W. Europe.

I just bought another set of 38x14.5x16.5 radial swamper sx's and I noticed that this is the first set I have ever bought that had a small sticker on the side wall that said 'pre-balanced' Anyways, on the inside of the tire there were patches of weights I would assume to get the tire balanced better from the factory. I have had many sets of swampers but this is the first set that I have noticed these weights (they may have been there before but I have never noticed).
If you are trying to balance the bias ply swampers, beware that they flat spot when cold. The best technique is to drive them for a few days first to break them in. Then make sure they are warm (drive for 30 min) before hitting the shop. Then pull them and balance while still warm.
The nylon bodies take a set when cold and are out of round. They will always be rough after sitting for a while. You don't want to balance them this way of course. Polyester bodied bias plies are better for this reason.

Managing an ‘invisible’ team of people – who don’t sit anywhere near you and may not even be in the same time zone – can be a huge challenge.
How do you make sure out of sight isn’t out of mind? Yvette Gyles, Assistant Director of =mc, looks at how to manage effectively at a distance.
We work with many organisations that have remote teams. Whether it’s home workers, regional offices or international colleagues, managing individuals you may be in the same space as less than half a dozen times a year is tough. To help you make the best of this tricky situation, we’ve gathered together participants’ top tips from =mc’s in-house management development programmes.
In a ‘normal’ office environment you tend to see, hear or bump into people at least once a day. It’s then generally fairly straightforward to get a sense of how they are feeling, and to have a good idea of who’s on top of things and who may need help. This is much harder when your team is scattered in different locations. You can get closer to a similar sense of finger-on-the-pulse through frequent contact. Make it daily, if possible, and vary the channel – maybe a mix of phone calls, Skype, email, text and even group chats via applications such as WhatsApp.
Avoid making your contact simply about exchanging business information – going through reports or giving updates. Aim to make some of it more like a conversation. Ask questions, share anecdotes to help with learning, encourage reflection, take a coaching approach when appropriate. When it’s not possible to make personal observations of your individuals’ performance it’s really important they can reflect and feedback on themselves. You might need to help them do this.
When you are making a phone call, it’s tempting to multitask and check your inbox. Resist. However ‘professional’ you think you’re being your distraction will be reflected in your voice. You wouldn’t do that in a meeting, don’t do it on a call. One manager told me they struggled with this, so closed Outlook and replaced it with a picture of their colleague (with the colleague’s consent). This made it easier for the manager to form a connection over the phone.
Many participants had tried getting staff to contribute to a regular group email or newsletter to encourage a sense of team. Unfortunately, they tended to end up being less a rallying point for esprit de corps and more a collective to-do list. Try instead to keep business updates small – and relevant – and focus on engaging topics. Rather than a list of tasks, ask people to share useful learning, interesting news, things they have read or challenges they have overcome.
Good management is professional – with an element of personal. When you don’t see people, you can miss out on the casual personal catch ups. There is no ‘Did you have a nice evening?’ or ‘What are you doing tonight?’ or impromptu chats on the way to the kitchen. So when you’re on a call or Skype or even emailing a remote colleague, do make sure you ask about more than just work – and then remember what they tell you. I know a great manager who keeps notes on her team members’ pets, children’s/partner’s name, and what’s top of mind for them to refer to when she’s in touch.
If you work with or manage people who are not nearby it can be a chore to coordinate diaries. Nevertheless, it’s important that you book calls and, as far as humanly possible, stick with those bookings – especially if some of your team are in the same building and others are not. Never forget or cancel a meeting with your invisible team. Make it a priority and stick to it.
Regular calls (at least fortnightly) and daily contact can only go so far. Nothing really replaces face time. Try to see people as often as you can – show you’re a real person and not merely a disembodied voice. Use Skype if travel is an issue.
For further information on how =mc can help with your management development, contact Yvette Gyles on y.gyles@managementcentre.co.uk or call 020 7978 1516 to speak to one of our Learning & Development consultants.

True or False Pope: PAUL KRAMER, A FATHER OF LIES?
PAUL KRAMER, A FATHER OF LIES?
Fr. Kramer continues to spread his lies, via the world wide web, in his mad attempt to discredit TOFP and its authors. And he has done so even after someone close to him privately asked us for a cease fire, assuring us that Kramer would no longer be posting his online rants (which reveal more about Kramer's mental state than anything else). Since this individual was trustworthy, we agreed to the cease fire and held up our end of the bargain. Unfortunately, the day after the agreement was reached, Fr. Kramer posted another attack on his Facebook page, sent an email to an extensive distribution list containing his slander, and even bombarded us with a half dozen emails, accusing us of crimes against him and the Church! All in a single day, following the supposed agreement for a cease fire!
Even after Kramer breached the agreement (now two weeks ago), we still maintained our end by not responding to his continuous stream of lies, misrepresentations, and accusations of “heresy” for allegedly holding positions that we explicitly refute in our book. Since Kramer has, unfortunately, proven that he lacks the self-control necessary to stop spreading lies and misinformation, we will respond to his false accusations for the sake of the truth.
Another point is that because Kramer has been a public critic of Sedevacantism for many years, the devil evidently imagined that he could use Kramer’s recent conversion to the errors of Sedevacantism (which he uses to justify his rejection of Francis) to deceived an entirely new group of Catholics. The devil accomplishes this by a self-proclaimed opponent of Sedevacantism, yet who spreads the very errors that lead to the Sedevacantist conclusion. For example, we see Kramer spreading the error which maintains that it is up to each individual Catholic in the pew to decide for himself if the man elected, and recognized as Pope by the Church, is guilty of the sin of heresy. If they conclude that he is, then they must also conclude that he is not the Pope. This error leads quickly to the next, namely, that they are permitted to formally separate from him, and publicly declare him to be an antipope.
Suffice it to say that not a single theologian has ever taught the laity, or individual priest, are permitted render such a judgment or make such public declarations on their own authority. Before a person can conclude that a Pope has lost his office for heresy, it requires an antecedent (prior) judgment that he has, in fact, fallen into heresy. The antecedent judgment must be rendered by the Church before the consequent judgment can be declared. And if the antecedent judgment is forbidden, as Kramer now argues ("a Pope cannot be judged, even for heresy") how could the consequent judgment (that he lost his office for heresy) ever be determined? If the Church was not permitted to render a judgment of heresy concerning a pope, it would be equally forbidden to declare that a Pope had lost his office for heresy. This explains an why the famous axiom "the first see is judged by no one" has been understood to include the exception "unless he is accused of heresy." But only the Church possesses the authority to render such a judgment and make any consequent declarations. All of these errors Kramer is spreading have been addressed and refuted in our book – a book, mind you, that Kramer has not even read and refuses to read.
While it would take an entire book to refute all of Kramer’s lies and misrepresentations (the same tactic successfully used by the devil to have Christ put to death), we will briefly address just one, which is a perfect example of the modus operandi of Fr. Paul Leonard Kramer and his slander campaign.
We will begin by quoting Fr. Kramer, who chose to comment on a mere two sentences we wrote in a recent article. We will then cite the previous paragraph, as well as the remainder of the paragraph from which the two sentences were taken, in order prove that Kramer completely misrepresented our position. We will then quote several pages from True or False Pope? in which we address this same issue.
In the following Facebook post, Kramer refers to the “NONSENSICAL STUPIDITIES OF SISCOE & SALZA” (in all caps) for allegedly holding that the question of how the Church would deal with an heretical Pope has already been resolved.
Now, it is obvious that in the two sentences Kramer quoted, we were simply stating the the loss of papal office for heresy concerns “questions of fact” and “questions of law”. Nowhere in those two sentences, or anywhere else, do we say the "questions of law" have been settled.
If Kramer would have paid closer attention to what he was reading, he would have realized that our underscoring the lack of definitive guidance on the deposition of a heretical Pope was the very point we were making in the paragraph (and the previous one). The reason we were spotlighting this point is because it completely destroys the dogmatic Sedevacantist position. The reason it does so is because, since the Church has not settled the “questions of law” (i.e. if, when or how a heretical Pope would lose his office), no one can treat the opinion of any theologian as being the definitive teaching of the Church, and then use the theological opinion as a certain premise to draw a certain conclusion. The fact that this is the point we were making in the two sentences Kramer cited is clear from what we wrote in the previous paragraph, and even from the remainder of the paragraph from which the two sentences were taken (which Kramer conveniently failed to cite).
“4) When we address a point that is disputed by theologians, such as if, when, or how a pope loses his office for heresy, we purposefully avoid taking a definitive position of our own, since 1) only the Church can settle such “questions of law,” and 2) the Church has never done so. Therefore, when it comes to if, when, or how a heretical pope loses his office, we do not take present the teaching of any theologian as being definitive and settling the matter. What we do show, however, is that none of the theologians support the Sedevacantist position, which is one of private judgment determining who is and who is not a true pope, without reference to the public judgment of the Church.
What we see is that Kramer cited a mere two sentences and then accused us of “peddling snake oil” for allegedly saying the exact opposite of what we were arguing. This is just one example of the constant stream of lies, misrepresentations and strawman arguments being spread across the internet by Paul Leonard Kramer.
Question of Fact – Is the Pope a manifest heretic?
Sedevacantists cannot even get to first base with their “question of fact” approach until they resolve these “questions of law,” and yet resolving these complex questions are not within their power (not even the Magisterium has chosen to settle these questions). The entire Sedevacantist case, as it relates to “law,” rests upon nothing more than their own private interpretation of the opinions of certain theologians (especially that of Bellarmine, whom Sedevacantists have failed to understand), and which in no way constitutes the official teaching of the Church.
‘The present situation in the Church has generated many unprecedented problems of a theological and practical nature — for example the question of the in se [in itself] validity or invalidity of the New Mass… The Society must not presume to settle such speculative questions in an authoritative and definitive fashion, since it has absolutely no authority to do so. Any attempt by the Society to teach and impose its conclusions on matters of speculative theology as the only positions suitable for a Catholic to embrace is dangerous and opens the door to great evils, for it assumes a magisterial authority which belongs not to it but to the Church alone.
As we have seen, even if the question of fact (i.e., is the Pope a public and notorious heretic?) was established by the proper authorities, the question of law (exactly when and how does the Pope lose his office) remains unresolved. It is clear that the unresolved question of law, in and of itself, completely negates the Sedevacantist position, without even addressing the question of fact, which is likewise something Sedevacantists have no authority to judge.
As the reader can see, nowhere do we claim that the “questions of law” have been settled by the Church, as Kramer would have his readers believe. On the contrary, we explicitly state the exact opposite, and we do so over and over again.
What is clear that Fr. Kramer is not interested in the truth, but only in slandering us in any way possible. He adamantly refuses to read the book (not that it would do any good, since he also misrepresented our position by citing two sentences from an article and then “interprets” them as meaning the exact opposite of what we said in the previous paragraph), but consistently accuses us of holding positions that we not only do not hold.
Fr. Kramer’s dishonest tactic of “hit-and-run” Facebook posts may be sufficient to deceive, or confuse, some already confused Catholics who are understandably scandalized by the situation in the Church, but they won’t deceive those who actually read our book and articles.

Thank you for visiting my profile! I am a second-year Master's student in the Department of Life Sciences Communication at The University of Wisconsin-Madison. I grew up in the city of Dearborn, Mich., which is known for having the highest Middle Eastern population in the U.S. -- a fact that has influenced my appreciation for the importance of diversity in a community. As a child, I thought I wanted to be an actor and a novelist because I love storytelling so much, but a working a job at an aquarium has pushed me into science journalism. As an interpretive naturalist at The Aquarium of The Bay in San Francisco, learning about the world under the water's surface made me fall in love withe biology and environmental science. I think it's important to care about the environment because as climate change becomes a bigger threat to the world, other animals who do not have the power to reverse find it increasingly difficult to live here. It's our responsibility to future generations of all living things to make sure they have just as many opportunities here -- and more -- as we have. After I graduate, I hope to work as a science communicator, inspiring others who have lacked the exposure to be as enthusiastic about discovery as I am; or in science policy, writing and reviewing the guidelines by which our county operates as they relate to complicated health and environmental issues.
A community center in Madison, Wisc., provides important outdoor experiences for students who may not get them as often as they'd like.
My partner and I have been dumpster diving for a little over a year now. It sounds gross — and it certainly can be — but we've found mostly benefits to this uncommon practice.
Michael Branch — an award-winning environmental essayist who "writes like a drunken professorial hillbilly" — shows us that humor can, and should, have a place in communicating conservation's weightier issues.

Ich denke, das kommt vom vielen Kleber schnüffeln!
Ein netter junger Mann spricht einer Frau Nachrichten auf den AB. Da freut man sich doch bestimmt, wenn man sojemanden kennen lernt.
Now I understand if you’ve got other issues, like maybe you’re not playing games, maybe you’ve had I don’t know… maybe you were abused in childhood?…Maybe your mother has cancer, you’re going to chemo…maybe you’re just a person who’s extremely frightened or has an anxiety disorder, maybe you’re on some medication for that…I don’t know, there could be another issue that I’m not aware of. But nobody says “Call me,” hands a person a business card and then doesn’t return calls.
Wooooooow, komischer Trip war das….

I am so happy that 2018 was the year that I got really into giallos (classic Italian horror-thrillers). I watched several giallo entries this year, but developed a particular fondness for Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond. I love the soundtrack and shlock, but unfortunately nobody warned me about the horrifying tarantula scene that made my skin crawl.

Hey… I’m Laura, and I’m a mentored birth and postnatal doula in Walton-on-Thames. I have two fabulous children who keep my heart utterly full and it’s since embarking on my own pregnancy, birth and motherhood journey that I have found an affinity to work with and support women at this insanely magical time.
I’m a qualified instructor teaching The Wise Hippo antenatal birthing programme, which training is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives. Through this I teach hypnobirthing techniques, to enable you to get into a deep sense of relaxation to have faith and trust in your body to allow it to do exactly what it is made to do.
I’m a firm believer that in anything you do in life, preparation is the key and I can help you to prepare for your birth in a way that only aims to empower you, having your desires and wishes at the epicentre of it all. I whole-heartedly believe in the mind/body connection during labour and would love to work with you to help discover your path, uncover your strength and to support your preparation for an empowering, positive birth experience.
I’m an incredibly positive person, which really does help me see the glimmer of light in even the trickiest of situations and it’s this optimism that I’d bring to your birth experience. I am more than aware that sometimes sh*t hits the fan and it’s my promise to you that I would prepare you to the best of my ability to have evidence based learning to know your options if that happens. I’ll be by your side for it all… massaging, relaxing, supporting and physically helping you, whilst offering practical assistance and emotional support for your birth partner if you have one.
Although I have only just started my Mentored Doula journey, I bring to you unwavering support for your birth, helping you wade through the flood of information and offering you a constant companion that you have chosen in me. To be a supportive part of your journey would be an utter privilege.
I believe every woman should feel loved, empowered, in control and cherished during her journey to birth and that’s my promise to you. I believe in your power. I believe in your ability to give birth. I believe in YOU.
If you have any questions at all or just fancy a natter about all things birth, drop me a line it would be fab to hear from you.

The poetics of the Zapatistas should have been a perfect read. I’ve been fascinated by the Zapatista movement, ever since they stormed into San Cristobel in January 1994, and my sister Lucy (who lived in Mexico at the time) has often enthused of the literary quality of Subcomandante Marcos’s writing. So why was this book such a let down in parts?
Part of the problem was, I think, the author isn’t quite sure who his audience is. The title and front cover (a masked Zapatista doll carrying a rifle) suggest an activist readership, but the content, particularly for the first couple of chapters, is overly academic. Another problem is, that the author is deeply immersed in the story of the Zapatismo, and assumes his readers are too. As a result, he dives into analysing writing, before he’s explained fully where it’s come from. And whilst he attempts to describe the history from 1994 to 2010, he does it in such a meandering way that I was frequently confused.
The latter half of the book is better. There’s a good analysis of how differences in language can make meaningful negotiation between the indigenous population and the State difficult. I also found some of the insights into the contradictions in the movement quite fascinating – preaching nonviolence whilst carrying guns; working collectively but creating a public figurehead in Subcomandante Marcos.
The final chapter gives an inspiring account of the successes of the Zapatistas, particularly in establishing an autonomous self-governed region in Chiapas (where “the people lead and the government obeys”), in spite of watered down legislation and regular crackdowns by the military. And the author makes useful comparisons with other South American revolutions, and the anti-globalisation movement.
But though this is an interesting read in places, the book is let down by a ponderous style that often obscures the heart and humour of Marcos’s wonderful writing. Which is a shame, because when the stories are allowed to breathe they are quite marvellous. I particularly liked “The Story of Words” (democracy, liberty, justice) and the character of Durito the dung beetle who provides witty and insightful analyses of neoliberalism. All of which makes me think that perhaps, the best way to understand the “Poetics” of the Zapatista movement is to read the original texts for oneself.

This whole week, Bay Curious is exploring the 11 statewide propositions on the California ballot for a mini-series we're calling "Bay Curious Prop Week." Each day, we're dropping episodes looking at what the propositions are and how they came to be on the ballot in the first place. If you want to learn more about what's on your California ballot, check out KQED's 2018 Voter Guide.
We'll also be hosting a series of Facebook Live Q&As.
Below is a transcript of our episode on Propositions 7, 12 and 3 — the three science-related propositions on the November ballot.
OLIVIA ALLEN-PRICE: Twice a year most of us in the United States go through a sort of time warp. In March we go to bed on a Saturday night climbing under our covers for a relaxing slumber. But then the alarm goes off an hour early the next day. This time warp is daylight saving time, of course, and it's one of the three science-related props Californians are voting on this year.
ALLEN-PRICE: I'm Olivia Allen-Price. It's Bay Curious Prop Week. All week long, we're taking you inside what's behind some of the many propositions you'll be voting on this November. Today we explore questions of daylight saving time and animal confinement. Plus a water bond. Stay with us.
DANIELLE VENTON: Daylight saving time is this practice that we have of switching our clocks twice a year.
ALLEN-PRICE: To help us understand Proposition 7, I called my friend from a few desks down.
VENTON: I'm Danielle Venton. I'm one of the editors on the science desk here at KQED.
ALLEN-PRICE: Prop 7 could lead to the end of switching clocks in California. But before we get into how the prop works, let's first understand how daylight saving time came to be a thing in the first place.
Should California move toward year-round daylight saving time?
VENTON: It was an idea that has been kicked around for centuries. Benjamin Franklin, he calculated that the French could save some number of pounds of candles every year by switching their clocks. But the first country to institute it was Germany during the First World War. Then they brought it back for the Second World War and that was meant to save energy.
VENTON: It was voted on by California voters in 1949 to adopt the practice of daylight saving time. It was wartime and this belief that it would save energy and would help the war effort... it was a very popular notion.
ALLEN-PRICE: I'd always heard it had something to do with farms. Is that just a total myth? Is that not true?
VENTON: It seems to be largely a myth. I mean farmers are going to wake up when the sun gets up. Cows do not read clocks. You know, you bail your hay when it's ready.
ALLEN-PRICE: Because Californians voted daylight saving time into practice in 1949, it's up to us to vote it out... or, in the case of prop 7, vote to pass control onto the legislature.
VENTON: So if it passes, the state legislature will have the authority to vote on changing daylight saving time, and if they approve it by two thirds, and if the federal government allows, then California could maintain year round daylight saving time.
ALLEN-PRICE: So people can think of this as like step one in, at least, a three step process.
VENTON: Right. But it's likely that if there is a lot of voter support for this then the legislature would follow the will of the people.
ALLEN-PRICE: How did this get on the ballot?
KANSEN CHU: Kansen Chu. I'm a state assembly member representing District 25.
VENTON: From the South Bay heard about this issue from one of his constituents.
KANSEN CHU: I got this idea from my dentist. You know he was telling me there was a health impact.
MALE NEWS ANCHOR: New at Six. Potential daylight saving time dangers. Now that the sun sets later.
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: But the changing of the clocks can also disturb sleep. Something some experts blame for an increase in car crashes this time of year.
VENTON: There is consensus that it disrupts sleep schedules, that there's a higher incidence of heart attacks and stroke.
ALLEN-PRICE: Supporters of Prop 7 say not only is daylight saving time hazardous for your health, but it doesn't really save energy either. Studies have found that energy savings is pretty much a wash. On the other side of the coin you've got opponents of Prop 7 who say darker mornings could be dangerous for pedestrians.
VENTON: If we kept daylight saving time year round that would mean very dark mornings in the winter, some people worry that that puts children, in particular, at extra risk when they are traveling to school.
ALLEN-PRICE: Now California wouldn't be the first place to try to ditch the clock switch. Arizona and Hawaii don't do daylight saving time and neither do most countries in the world. Even if this prop does pass, things aren't going to change overnight.
VENTON: Clocks would still change in November, of course, on November 2nd. And they would still change in the springtime. But the legislature would have the choice of keeping that change permanent.
ALLEN-PRICE: So potentially in a year, we would not be falling back?
ALLEN-PRICE: Next we turn to proposition 12, the animal confinement prop. It was put on the ballot by the Humane Society of the United States. KQED Science reporter Lesley McClurg explains what it's all about.
LESLEY MCCLURG: Californians are going to vote on whether or not animals should come out of cages, like, altogether. So it would take pigs, egg-laying hens and veal calves out of cages altogether, and it allocates a specific amount of space for each animal depending on which animal it is.
Should California ban the sale of pork, eggs or veal if those animals were confined in cages or areas below a specific number of square feet?
ALLEN-PRICE: Now there are some farms that are basically already doing this kind of farming, right?
VENTON: Yeah, exactly. I went to a small farm in Pescadero near the coast and a farmer there, her name is Dede Boies, showed me around the grounds. And she is really, really passionate about taking care of her animals in the most natural conditions that she can.
DEDE BOIES: So we pasture raise two different breeds of slow-growing chickens, and ducks, heritage turkeys and pigs. Right now we're kind of looking at the set up we have, where all the animals get rotated.
MCCLURG: The animals are kept in a very large, very open space.
DEDE BOIES: This time of day, they're pretty much in the shelter. But in the morning and evening they definitely spread out a lot more.
MCCLURG: And she's just really against the idea of keeping animals confined in any way.
DEDE BOIES: The point for me is to raise animals in a way that they were intended to live.
ALLEN-PRICE: Dede Boies supports Prop 12 because she wants to see more animals raised without cages. If this prop feels vaguely familiar to you, there's a reason why.
ALLEN-PRICE: Didn't we already do this? I remember voting on this already.
MCCLURG: In some ways we did already. This was Proposition 2, back in 2008. It said that animals should have enough space to stand up, sit down, turn around and spread their limbs or wings. It didn't allocate a specific amount of space, and industry basically argued that that was too vague, so they didn't take the animals out of the cages, they just put fewer animals in the cages.
ALLEN-PRICE: So, is it fair to think of Prop 12 as kind of a redo of Prop 2? Only this time, like, with much more specific requirements?
MCCLURG: Yeah that's right. And so it's 43 square feet per calf. It's 24 square feet per pig and each egg-laying hen will have to have a foot of space. I think what's important about Proposition 12 is it not only includes animals in California and how they're raised but also anything imported into California. So this will change the practices for producers all across the country.
ALLEN-PRICE: And as you might guess, not all those producers are thrilled about Proposition 12.
MCCLURG: I also talked to a guy named Ken Maschhoff. He's a pork producer in Illinois.
KEN MASCHHOFF: We're on the same land that my great great great great grandfather purchased in 1851.
MCCLURG: And he was really adamant that he believes in taking care of animals, but he actually specifically said the animals do not have rights.
KEN MASCHHOFF: But I believe that farmers, ranchers, veterinarians are animal welfarists. So there's a difference between animal rights and animal welfare.
MCCLURG: And then we should take care of animals as best we can but we need to be cost effective.
KEN MASCHHOFF: [This] type of legislation actually affects low income people much much harder than middle or high income folks because they just can't afford the cost of their food.
MCCLURG: And he says, you know, if consumers are willing to pay more these products are already available in the grocery store. You can already buy cage-free, organic, etc. products. Those are available. So why force everyone to do something that maybe they can't afford?
ALLEN-PRICE: If Prop 12 passes there is some time built in for producers to adapt their facilities. Changes for pork and veal need to be done by 2020 and for egg-laying hens, it's 2022.
ALLEN-PRICE: Last up, we've got Proposition 3. And what would a California election be without a water prop on the ballot? Voters just okayed a $4 billion water bond in June of this year. And here we are again.
Should California authorize $8.9 billion in bonds for water infrastructure and environmental projects?
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: ...Proposition 3 authorizes bonds to fund projects for water supply and quality.
MALE NEWS ANCHOR: It's an $8.9 billion bond measure for water-related projects.
ALLEN-PRICE: If passed, Prop 3 would issue nearly $9 billion in bonds to fund a bunch of different water projects. The largest payouts go to projects that improve water quality, restore watersheds and help sustain our groundwater. There is some disagreement among environmentalists on this one. Supporters, like Save the Bay, say it will leave the state better prepared for a drought, and help fix our water infrastructure. But opponents, like the Sierra Club, say it benefits wealthy farmers in the Central Valley and taxpayers shouldn't foot the bill for projects the private sector should cover. We've got more on Proposition 3 on the Bay Curious website. You'll find a KQED Forum debate on the topic, plus a guide to all the propositions on the November ballot.
ALLEN-PRICE: This episode was produced by Ryan Levi, and me, Olivia Allen-Price. We'll be back in your feed tomorrow morning for a look at Proposition 5, which could expand tax breaks for homeowners 55 and older. It's a really interesting one. You definitely want to tune in. Bay Curious is made in San Francisco at KQED.

Not to be mistaken as another channel for advertisements, digital marketing encompasses a multitude of marketing opportunities such as blogging, mobile, social media, email marketing, search engine marketing and more! In 2017, TV ad spending totaled roughly $72.01 billion, or 35.8% of total media investments in the United States; total digital ad spending was about $77.37 billion, or 38.4% of total ad spending. Over one-third of CMOs believe that digital will account for 75% of marketing spend in the next five years -- so understanding what makes digital so vital is the first step in gearing up your business to make a mark on the internet.
So, what does providing value look like? One-third of the world uses social media regularly, for example, making it an excellent channel to connect with a target audience. A social media marketer is able to research what their audience is interested in and cares about using page analytics, molding their brand and messaging to actually offer solutions, information or even entertainment to their audience; this provides value to the audience, building trust and ultimately turning them into repeat customers. Building a real, valuable business-to-consumer relationship is something a print or radio ad simply cannot do.
A great business knows that word of mouth travels and is a motivator of purchase behavior. With social media discussions and search engine reviews, there are many ways for customers to share their experience with their friends. With that being said, social media and email marketing are examples of how digital marketing offers two-way communication, allowing for feedback and relationship building. Traditional marketing is solely one-way communication, showcasing a product, event or service and leaving it at that. When you are able to connect with your audience and offer solutions to their wants and needs, they practically do your marketing for you.
When purchasing an ad spot on radio or TV, you aren’t given much more information than the number of listeners in that market (maybe a profile of the average listener if you’re lucky). With digital marketing, targeting features for campaigns are unmatched by traditional advertising. In a social media campaign, you can create a whole custom audience of people to reach, or create an audience solely of people that have already visited your website. When marketing on search engines like Google, you can target people searching for exactly what your business is offering! Digital marketing takes out the guesswork by providing in-depth analytics and metrics about your audience and your marketing efforts.
With traditional advertising, you are in the dark when it comes to understanding your return on investment (ROI). Digital marketing not only tracks your ROI, its analytic capabilities give you the opportunity to enhance it. Knowing what you spend, and what you get in return is the key benefit of digital marketing versus traditional advertising. Every day, more people are using the internet for music, TV, film and news, which results in the question -- is traditional advertising even worth it anymore?

Striving to make a real difference to protect and conserve the Australian environment for the benefit of people and nature, we pride ourselves on five key strengths in the way we work.
1. We get things done – we’re proud to be very action-oriented in our approach to conservation. While we invest in policy formulation, public awareness campaigns and other forms of indirect conservation action, most of our efforts are applied directly in the field to make an immediate difference for conservation. See for yourself with these examples: restoring Victoria’s lost shellfish reefs, reducing destructive late season wildfires in the Northern Territory and reducing carbon emissions, and conserving part of the world’s largest intact desert in Western Australia.
2. We’re highly trusted – in 2018, for the fifth time, TNC was named as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere Institute, an independent research centre. This honour recognises our focus on ethics and integrity in everything we do. We were the only philanthropic organisation to be recognised. The diversity of partners we work with here in Australia in business, government and local communities also demonstrates the high levels of trust these entities place in us.
The Nature Conservancy collaborates to find and share good ideas to improve people’s lives and protect Australia's great places.
3. We’re efficient – working closely with a range of partners such as farmers, fishers, Indigenous rangers and other environmental groups means we conduct our work in the most efficient way possible. In fact, 76% of our funding goes directly to supporting our conservation projects. We’ve had more than 65 years’ experience in getting this right.
4. We’re experts in our field – our Australian team includes a range of expert specialists, about half of whom are scientists with marine biology, ecology, zoology or forest conservation backgrounds. You can meet each of our Australian program scientists and learn about what they do here. Being part of a global team working across 72 countries means we can also draw on the 600 other scientists employed by The Nature Conservancy globally including the talents of our global Chief Scientist, Dr Hugh Possingham.
5. Our work has the highest impact – we’re highly focused on conservation work that has the highest possible impact on a landscape or seascape scale. Take for example our shellfish reef restoration projects underway in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia (unique to TNC in Australia), or our impact investment project in the Murray-Darling Basin balancing agriculture, finance and the environment – another Australian first. You can learn more about the impacts we’re having across Australia here.
We hope you’ll join us and support our work to address climate change, protect and conserve nature and sustain abundant clean water.
While most of our efforts go towards projects in the field to conserve nature, it’s nice to be recognised occasionally for this hard work.
At The Nature Conservancy, we have a strong and abiding commitment to diversity in our workforce and in the people and groups with which we work.
Our partnerships and programs are all designed to address our planet’s biggest challenges. The Nature Conservancy focuses on the priorities that science shows us are most urgent—and where our innovation and expertise can have the greatest impact.

Two military veterans, both green card immigrants willing to die for their country, find themselves deported and are now fighting to be heard. Stuck in Mexico, Army combat veteran Mauricio Hernandez struggles to find adequate treatment for his severe PTSD, while former paratrooper Hector Barajas fights to reunite with his daughter in Los Angeles, and raise awareness about deported veterans. This film is a persuasive and intimate look at the human consequences of current U.S. immigration policy.
Filmmaker and experts scheduled to attend.
Mike Seely has produced, directed, and photographed dozens of cross-cultural and international documentary projects.

When he was 21, Daniel Torres was recruited to the Marines. In order to enlist he had to lie: he said that he was American when he wasn't. After a seven months deployment in Afghanistan he volunteered for another tour in Iraq. But when the truth about his legal status came to light, he was discharged and became undocumented again. This is his personal story of he was able to get his U.S. citizenship on the basis of his military record.

Prior to coming to The Strong, Adams served consecutively as Director of the National Historic Landmarks Project and Director of Education for the American Association for State and Local History, Executive Director of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, and Assistant Commissioner of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism for the State of Louisiana with responsibility for the state museum system.

When snow comes spewing from the sky and there seems to be no end in sight to your sociology lecture, you probably turned to fantasizing about the summer. Good weather, relaxed responsibilities and a possible vacation make June through August the most enjoyable season of the year for many.
Until, you know, you actually get to it.
While it certainly isn't all hype, the glamour of beaches and suntans hides some of summer's peskiest nuances. A few months of the season under your belt may have you worn out, and by the end of the year you'll forget all about your sagas with bug bites and air conditioning units.
What are your least favorite parts of summer? Sound off in the comments section.
Look at that thing. Does it not strike fear into your suntanned heart?
There are over 150 species of mosquitoes in North America (3,000 species in the world).
We're all guilty of romanticizing summer, but your vacation isn't complete without a dozen or so swelling bumps shrouding your arms and ankles. Mosquitoes requires blood to develop fertile eggs. Mosquito bites are forgettable struggles during the colder seasons, but come summer, it takes every fiber of your existence to stop from itching. Seriously. Put your arm down now and don't touch it.
The damn demons find new spots to frustrate you with every time, and the only way to ward them off is with the most pungent of repellents that don't work half the time. You'd think that catching and squashing a sucka mosquito in the act would be quite rewarding, until you realize the disgusting mess that's on your fingers.
Mosquito clouds can kill summer enthusiasm with one outdoor concert or party. But you'd still trade a body of bites for 80 degree weather come January.
Summer means Six Flags, free outdoor shows and a day at the beach. It's a great idea, but everyone in your city's already thought of it and are halfway down the highway to beat you there.
Taking a vacation to a remote island is perhaps the only way to avoid the massive crowds of summer. When you thought about your school-free self screaming on a roller coaster, did you account for the hour-long wait before the two-minute ride? When you dreamed of an ice cold beer at a ballgame, did you remember the line that costs you two full innings?
Everyone's as free as you are this summer, making everything really crowded. The beach just isn't as fun when people are crammed around every side of your towel.
Does everyone's IQ lower with rising temperatures? Summer's not summer without an insultingly-bad Michael Bay blockbuster and a preteen anthem from Katy Perry. Everyone's down with letting loose and reserving a bit of brainpower, but does it have to get this ugly?
Two summers ago, it was "I love you like a love song." Last summer it was this, every hour on the hour. Every summer's been Jersey Shore and a new Transformers. There has to be a way to at least spread out the horrendous reality TV over the year.
Road trips and weekend excursions come with a hefty price. Prices at the pump seems to skyrocket every summer, a problem that stays stowed in the back of your mind during the year but right in the heart of your wallet come July.
The national average of a gallon of gas is up 18% this month to a healthy $3.67. The ongoing turbulence in the Middle East will make this summer a particularly pricey one.
Although Americans are driving less on average, but the demand for gas rises to over a million barrels a day during the summer. The good news after filling up your car? An hour of traffic awaits.
Summer is hot. Really hot. Air-conditioned summer is also really cold. Good luck in the raging war between sweating and shivering for the next month.
Temperatures have ballooned to the high 90s in New York alone this summer, and there's no better feeling of relief than walking into an air-conditioned room after toiling in the heat. Give it a minute and you'll be clamoring for a sweatshirt. Go back outside, come back in. It's nothing short of madness.

Tolkien. It was at a pub in Oxford called,The Eagle and Child. Lee dreamed of playing Gandalf in a movie version of LOTR. When he found out that Peter Jackson was making the films, he asked his agent to put him up for a role. Lee hosted Saturday Night Liv e in 1978, when Meat Loaf was the musical guest. Lee appeared in a skit a about movies so bad that even he had knocked them back. Among them were: The Thing That Wouldn't Leave, Dr. Terror's House of Pancakes and The Island of Lost Luggage. 13. He worked with McCartney and Parky. Lee featured on the cover of Paul McCartney's 1973 Band On The Run album, one of several people, alongside McCartney and his band, dressed as convicts caught in a searchlight. They also include TV interview Michael Parkinson, boxer John Conteh and actor James Coburn. 14. He knew Rasputin's assassins.
The Germans eat more red meat than the English, and drink more beer, and they live longer, too. You always manage to make me feel guilty about something. . I read a theory on the web that it can give you Lupus. . This building had a reputation as being the busiest police station in Britain. The place hummed and buzzed and he had loved his time - almost fifteen years - working here. It was the buzz that he missed most about his recent posting to the relatively quiet backwater of the CID headquarters building on the outskirts. It wasn't the smell of hospitals, or schools, or a civil service building, it was the smell of energy. Two of them were occupied, both by detectives he knew and liked - DC Nick Nicholl and DS Bella Moy. There was a SASCO flip chart on an easel and a blank whiteboard on the wall, next to a large-scale map of Sussex, on which was a pattern of coloured pins. Pointing at the papers, she said, 'I have Michael Harrison's Vodafone log from Tuesday morning up until nine o'clock this morning. I also thought it would be a good idea to get the ones of the other four with him. .
But we have lost a “Khwaabon Ki Shehzaadi”, a style icon, an inspiration for numerous aspiring actors. She was comfortable doing an Indian classical dance as well as out-of-tune Bollywood-style numbers the equivalent of which in South Indian movies are called Dappang-Kootu; though Dappang-Kootu is largely folk dance based and Sridevi was good in all of it. I have also seen her in the Tamil version of “Apna Desh” “Nam Naadu” as niece to MGR. Just before she began performing adult roles we saw her as sister to Lakshmi in “Julie” in the iconic song “My heart is beating”, she was just 11 then. There was time when she was a heroine to many actors of the South Indian film industry in whose films she had acted as a child. But after her second attempt in Hindi movies in the Jeetendra starrer “Himmatwala” in 1983. I distinctly remember that year I had been to Hyderabad to my mama’s place and there were these huge posters everywhere of this beautiful heroine amid rows of “colourful pots” in what turned out to be a song which is still popular “nainon mein sapna, sapno mein sajna, sajna pe dil aagaya”. That was also the time when Jaya Prada had made her debut in Hindi movies through “Sargam”. And the teenager that I was then, decided Sridevi was a threat to Jaya Prada, and refused to see that movie. I think the first Sridevi movie I saw of my own choice was “Inquilaab” because Amitabh Bachchan was her co-star. Subsequently I have many of her movies and was particularly fond of her pairing with Jeetendra and Amitabh Bachchan though that was only in three movies, she was the FEMALE SUPERSTAR of her times. She also paired successfully with Anil Kapoor and Mithun Chakravarty. I am still thinking of the day when the news broke. In the meantime, there has been news that our shehzaadi died due to “accidental drowning” but whatever be the reason she is lost to us and her numerous fans.
And if you don't, you should: your data is far more important than the hardware you're running it on. Laptops can be replaced, but the ones and zeroes they contain absolutely cannot. Photographer Peter Krogh once wrote that there are two kinds of people: those who've suffered a storage failure, and those who'll have one in the future. With this in mind he posited the 3-2-1 rule of backups which calls for three copies of your data on at least two kinds of media, one of which is stored off-site. Nothing is 100%, so these packages won't replace a good backup routine, but you're at least in with a chance if something goes wrong or if you've been a bit delete-happy. If you're on a budget, also check out our top five free data recovery packages 1. The tools include specific email recovery functions which dig into Outlook mailbox files, and diagnostic tools to find bad blocks on your failed drives. There are also imaging and copying tools to ensure both an easy backup process and a quick restore when all the nasty file recovery business is complete. You can buy OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional here 2. The latter two have been around and updated since 2001, and while their age might suggest they may be splitting at the seams, data is still data, and they can find it. All three packages can be run from a live CD or from within a WinPE bootable Windows environment, meaning you can fire them up without risking much destabilisation of your drives. More advanced users, though, could benefit from looking elsewhere. Run it quickly enough after disaster has occurred and it'll be able to resurrect just about everything, from inadvertently-deleted partitions to virus-ruined files. While there are definitely more advanced recovery packages out there, and certainly some cheaper ones, this is the one we'd keep on our shelf for those not-so-special occasions.

You’ll never struggle to find a Chinese restaurant in Canberra, but you may struggle to find one as good as the city centre’s Spicy Ginger Cuisine. Specialising in authentic Sichuan dishes and dumplings, the food at Spicy Ginger Cuisine stands out from the crowd. It’s no surprise, really, the chefs here are professionally trained and combine over 20 years experience in cooking up the best that Chinese food has to offer. Some of the house special dishes include cumin lamb, fresh fish fillets with Sichuan pickled veggies and shallot king prawns that really deliver a kick. For your dumpling fix, ask for them steamed, fried or boiled depending on how you like the texture - they’re a real treat. You may end up spending longer than you thought at this Childers Road hotspot as all dishes are served with unlimited rice and yum-cha, a delightful Chinese tea. And that’s all there is to it, book a table now at one of Canberra’s finest Chinese restaurants!
Good food and good value, but Friday lunchtime was very busy so service was a bit slow, understandably. Great versions of both red bean and shallot pancakes are a highlight on the yum cha menu.
