The makers of the popular Television show Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai are slapped with a legal notice by the Election Commission.
The Lok Sabha Elections for the year 2019 have begun and the Political environment is a bit topsy-turvy right now. As per the rules and regulations of the Election Commission Of India, the violation of its rules will lead to legal action. Such legal action was taken on the makers of the Television show Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai.
It so happened that the makers broadcasted an episode which showed the support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party Bhartiya Janata Party and received a legal notice for the same. According to the rules, no one has the authority to showcase their support or promote any Political party.
At a screenwriter's event, Raghuvir Shekhawat was quoted saying "We didn't mention any opposition party's name, neither did we target any party. Everything was done in a limited way. We only promoted Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan and the man behind the cause, that's it."
A social media user brought this thing into the light as he tweeted a clip from the episode and wrote "Yesterday i realized Modi has found another venue to advertise himself. i watch Bhabhi ji ghar par hain (that's right, deal with it), this TV serial has started to use some not so subtle Product placement/advertisement recently, but yesterday something else happened."

The Cavaliers traded Isaiah Thomas along with Channing Frye and their own first-round pick in 2018 to the Los Angeles Lakers for Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. on Thursday.
General manager Koby Altman didn’t just add to the Cavaliers’ roster prior to the Thursday trade deadline, he overhauled it.
Out are Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, Dwyane Wade, Iman Shumpert, Derrick Rose and Jae Crowder.
In are Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr., George Hill and Rodney Hood.
In a nutshell, the Cavs rid themselves of players who didn’t fit in Thomas, Rose and Crowder, did Wade a favor by trading him to Miami because there wasn’t going to be much playing time available in Cleveland, rid themselves of a player who didn’t have a role in Shumpert and reluctantly parted with 3-point shooting big man and locker room favorite Frye.
In return, the Cavs got players who are 3½ years younger on average, more athletic and presumably much better fits for a team built around four-time league MVP LeBron James and, when healthy, power forward Kevin Love, who join J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson as the only players remaining from Cleveland’s 2016 championship team.
Hill will likely be the starting point guard, Clarkson and Hood will challenge Smith for the starting shooting guard spot and Nance, the son of Cavs legend Larry Nance Sr. and a Revere High graduate, will provide an athletic, blue-collar forward.
A hectic day began with the Cavs trading Thomas, Frye and their own first-round pick in 2018 to the Los Angeles Lakers for Clarkson and Nance.
The 6-foot-5, 194-pound Clarkson is 25 years old and in his fourth season. He’s making $11.6 million in the second year of a four-year, $50 million deal.
Clarkson, who was let go because the Lakers wanted to create salary cap space to sign two players to max contracts this summer, is averaging 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists this season and 14.3, 3.3, 2.9 throughout his highly consistent career.
Clarkson isn’t a terrific shooter — .324 on 3-pointers this season — but he’s an effective scorer from the perimeter and on drives who is shooting .448 from the field and .795 at the line.
The 25-year-old Nance is 6-9, 230 and is making $1.47 million. He will earn $2.27 million next season and will require a $3.37 million qualifying offer in 2019-20.
Nance is averaging 8.6 points and 6.8 rebounds while shooting .601 from the field and .632 at the line. He rarely shoots from the perimeter but has compiled some highlight-reel dunks and is a willing defender and rebounder who is not afraid to do the dirty work, not to mention a standout individual and team-oriented player.
Just getting started, Altman then traded Wade to Miami for a protected second-round pick — with James’ approval because the 35-year-old’s minutes were going to be drastically reduced — and acquired Hill from Sacramento and Hood from Utah in a three-team deal.
In exchange, the Cavs sent Shumpert to the Kings and Rose and Crowder to the Jazz. Second-round draft picks and the rights to players competing overseas were also involved.
With Thomas and Rose gone, the 31-year-old Hill will likely be Cleveland’s starting point guard, with Jose Calderon or James serving as the backup.
Hill didn’t come cheap, as he is making $20 million this season and will earn $19 million next season. He’s owed $18 million in 2019-20, but only $1 million is guaranteed.
The 6-3, 188-pounder is averaging 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting .469 from the field, a career-high .453 on 3-pointers and .778 at the line in his 10th season.
Hill, who was struggling defensively in Sacramento, has never been a big numbers guy — 11.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists for his career — but he’s a solid pro who doesn’t require a lot of headlines or adulation.
The 6-8, 206-pound Hood is a 25-year-old left-hander who can flat out shoot. He’s making $2.39 million in the fourth season of his rookie deal and can be a restricted free agent at season’s end.
Hood is averaging 16.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists this season while shooting .424 from the field, .389 on 3-pointers and .876 at the line. For his career, he’s averaged 13.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
Of the players who left town, the 5-9 Thomas was the biggest name, but he turned out to be a horrible fit in Cleveland after being part of the Kyrie Irving trade over the summer.
Thomas, who averaged 14.7 points and 4.5 assists in 15 games with the Cavs, dominated the ball, took a lot of bad shots and was one of the worst defensive point guards in the league. He shot .361 from the field and .253 on 3-pointers, while his defensive rating (118.6) and net rating (minus 15.1) ranked last among the 224 players who’ve appeared in at least 15 games and played 300 minutes.
Giving up the 6-11 Frye wasn’t easy for the Cavs, who lack quality size after Thompson with Love currently injured, but it was a price they had to pay to add Clarkson and Nance and rid themselves of Thomas, who will be an unrestricted free agent and wants a big-time deal.
Crowder, also acquired in the Irving trade, was a tremendous disappointment. He averaged 8.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists while displaying very little of the grit and toughness the Cavs thought they were getting.
Rose is an injury-prone point guard who scores (9.8 ppg) but rarely passes (1.6 apg), while combo guard Iman Shumpert had no role.
Since six players were dealt and the four incoming players are unlikely to have completed physicals, the Cavs are expected to suit up two-way players John Holland and London Perrantes tonight in Atlanta.
There’s also a chance Cleveland could eventually call up veteran center Kendrick Perkins from G League affiliate Canton.

During our lifetimes, we embark on journeys, some planned and some unexpected. One unforeseen journey could be the acquiring of a physical impairment. What does it mean to follow such a journey in youth? This research addressed this question through a phenomenological study, guided by emancipatory principles. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, information was gathered through interviews with six Maltese participants. The study discusses how this experience is visualized as a rollercoaster ride, yet stabilized by the sense of continuity and the support of significant others. There seems to be a fluctuating paradox of sameness and difference as individuals experience the phenomenon of physical impairment, reach new understandings, and develop a new mode of being-in-the-world.
During our lifetimes, we embark on different journeys, some of which we plan for and others we do not choose for ourselves. One such journey could be the acquiring of a physical impairment.1 According to the World Health Organization,2 approximately 15% of the global population have physical impairments, including congenital and acquired impairments – the latter involving either a sudden onset or a gradual progression. However, there are no statistical data regarding the prevalence of acquired impairment on an international level.1 Information is also limited regarding the long-term issues affecting people with acquired impairments.3 The dearth of information is equally evident in local statistics. For example, the latest local census in Malta, an archipelago in the Mediterranean sea between Sicily and the North African coast,4 indicates that 877 persons aged 20 to 40 years have a physical impairment; however, this figure includes persons with congenital and acquired impairments.
According to what the non-disabled world presents in media and cultural discourse,7 acquiring an impairment is mostly perceived as the unwanted tragedy that replaces the dreamed-of future.8 However, this view may only be what non-disabled persons assume. Numerous writers have noted that the experience of acquired impairment can yield affirmative positive outcomes.9-12 Gill13 described the border between the disabled and non-disabled communities as a troubling disjuncture. That border is an elusive one, and the shift from one side to the other can instantly happen to anyone.14 Bishop15 talked about the difficulty and emotional dynamics that professionals experience with clients who acquire an impairment. DeSanto-Madeya16 has stated that healthcare professionals need to learn about the real worlds of persons living with acquired impairments to realize the great difference between the rehabilitation experience and their clients’ actual lived experiences.
The acquiring of an impairment is vastly under-researched in terms of the lived experience, particularly relating to young people. While acknowledging the political reasons for concentrating on collective experiences of oppression during the last decades, the time has come to appreciate the diversity of individual experiences regarding acquired impairments.17 Empirical studies tend to be reductionist to particular life aspects and seem to be founded on ableist views, which consider the non-disabled experience as the “normal” basis for experience.18 Morris19 stated that there is little opportunity for persons with disabilities to represent their experiences. The situation is probably worse in Malta, given the small size of the country and the proportionally small number of disabled youth living there. The few local academic studies that have explored the experience of becoming impaired have focused on particular impairments.
I chose youth as the focus of my research on acquired impairment. Being young myself, I believe it is an important stage in life, and am interested in how this generational stage interlinks with the acquiring of an impairment. Accordingly, founded on the premise that the persons experiencing the phenomenon are the experts about their lived experiences, my research aimed to explore what the phenomenon of becoming physically impaired in youth entails; what it means to experience this phenomenon in youth; what the possible changes linked to it are; and if there is any impact from the surrounding others.
In keeping with the phenomenological foundations of the study, interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was considered the most appropriate methodological framework. Interpretative phenomenology differs from descriptive phenomenology in that it goes beyond the descriptions of an experience to focus on the meanings embedded in such an experience.35 Following Heidegger’s phenomenology, IPA emphasizes the worldliness of the lived experience within the social world,36 putting an emphasis on first-hand experience and the consideration of the context.20,37 In IPA studies, the person-in-context creates the first interpretation of the phenomenon, and the researcher interprets the participant’s phenomenological account, hence having a “double hermeneutic.”38 IPA has an idiographic commitment as it focuses on detailed exploration of the lived experiences of a few individuals.39-41 Its microscopic lens is focused on human diversity and variability,20 making it ideal to explore disability matters. This explains why the study had a small number of participants.
Participants were chosen through purposeful intensity sampling, which was beneficial in selecting “information-rich cases that manifest the phenomenon of interest intensely.”42(p234) The inclusion criteria were Maltese persons, aged 18 to 40 years, who had acquired a physical impairment of sudden onset in their youth. Participants must have had the impairment for at least four years and were living in the community. Persons with a brain injury or progressive conditions, or who had cognitive or communication difficulties, were not considered since the sample could possibly have become too diverse for an IPA study.43 The physiotherapists working within the Physiotherapy Outpatients Department at the local rehabilitation hospital identified potential participants. Prior to commencement of the research study, approval was sought from the faculty’s and university’s research ethics committees, as well as the hospital’s research committee and management.
In-depth, face-to-face interviews provided the raw material for this project. I opted for a topic-guided interview. The topic guide included topics that were repeatedly mentioned in the found literature as relevant to the phenomenon being studied. Observational notes were taken during the interviews. Each interview was followed by an accurate transcription of the audiotaped interview session. The transcript was supplemented with non-verbal communication, gestures, and behavioral responses, which were recorded in the observational notes. Participants verified their transcripts to make sure that the experiences had been captured accurately, providing them with control over their stories. Confidentiality and anonymity were guaranteed at all times, even beyond the study’s completion. Real names were replaced by fictitious ones to protect the informants’ identities. Given the small size of Malta, extra caution was taken to eliminate information that could have led to identifying the participants. I also kept a reflective diary throughout the research process to trace my personal journey within the process, particularly concerning my phenomenological and emancipatory positioning and the impact of my beliefs, values, and experiences.
These are the lived experiences of six Maltese individuals, aged 25 to 36 years (Table 1). Three of these individuals have a spinal cord injury; three have an amputation. Table 2 summarizes the themes and subthemes that were identified as common to all participants. It seems that rather than hitting the stop and restart buttons, the injury brought about a pause in the participants’ lives – and they all decided to hit the play button and move on. As one participant remarked: “You don’t have to restart life. You need to think a bit differently.” An element of ongoing fluidity was evident in how the participants were making sense of their lifeworld. This sense of fluidity is understandable; we are always changing as we move along in life.
The concept of loss was referred to predominantly in terms of the loss of physical independence in their first years following injury, rather than the loss of identity. For instance, Keith expressed that being a very active person, he “literally lost everything [and had] … to ask others to do everything for [him].” The initial concerns started to fade as the participants achieved better function in daily life, as they explored and succeeded in new adventures, and as new opportunities came their way. All participants referred to what they described as their personal character and emphasized its significance in their lived experiences. In line with most literature,51-54most participants believe that the fact that the injury occurred in their youth led to quicker adjustment.
All participants identified positive moments and outcomes within their lived experiences. From the memorable moments of achieving some sort of functional ability, to continuing to follow their dreams, to realizing the new opportunities ahead, to strengthening their existent relationships, each participant managed to get the best out of their lived experiences and move forward. The experience in itself has opened new opportunities for Keith, particularly in the educational and employment fields.
Robert said that “in a couple of seconds, your life turns upside-down.” All participants related to areas in their lives that involved changes, but not necessarily negatively. The impact of such changes varied among them. They explained how they have been working around their impairment effects, such as pain and fatigue, with respect to their daily routines, educational and employment opportunities, careers, and leisure and sports activities. Rebecca explained that there are things she can do and others she cannot, such as being a hairdresser – because it requires long hours of standing. All male participants were unable to continue with their previous occupations or employment plans. Some participants had to move to a new house due to the inaccessibility of their previous home.
Then there were other fundamental changes, particularly about one’s outlook on life. This is in keeping with findings from a study by Boswell, Dawson, and Heininger.58 Alex shifted his life focus to enjoying life; Keith started focusing on potential life opportunities and “giving value to things that [he] didn’t give to before.” All participants mentioned that since the injury they have been more cautious about the future, in terms of both plans and expectations. Alex learned to “live day by day and see what happens” as he became aware that plans can change instantly. Yet, participants’ accounts portray that life is there to be lived and they all have interesting future plans, such as marriage, new business ventures, and career developments. Samuel is planning to get married, Luke is looking for a new business, and Alex is saving money for holiday trips. Keith’s biggest wish is to become a politician. It is crucial to differentiate between changes brought about by the disability experience and changes that are related to other life aspects. For instance, Samuel mentioned that he experienced the loss of contact with some friends, but that it was more related to the fact that everyone was focusing on romantic relationships rather than friendships.
The sense of continuity expressed in the participants’ accounts seems to have a stabilizing role. Participants illustrated how beyond their initial shock and inevitable changes, they continued to lead a fulfilling life. Rebecca expressed: “I, sort of automatically, continued my life.” Some participants pursued their ongoing relationships. Some continued with their sports, leisure, and social activities. Rebecca recalls with nostalgia that, after her accident, “between 18 and 21, [she] used to go to Paceville Friday, Saturday, and Sunday because [she] loved dancing there.” Luke said that he “never used to have any problems with these leisure things prior to [his] injury. Neither did [he] have any problems after, so [he] continued with the same routine right up to today.” The level of continuity varied among participants. Those who had valuable resources and connections managed to carry on with their lives much better. Resources varied from an employment opportunity within the partner’s company to having a supportive family and friends. Even amidst the uproar of acquiring the physical impairment and facing marital breakup, Robert is determined to continue with his life and grab whatever opportunity comes his way to be functionally better and the best father for his daughter.
The greatest sense of continuity was noted regarding one’s identity. All participants tried to hold on to their previous identities as much as possible. Rebecca described herself as: “I’m Rebecca, I love photography, I love dancing, I love to socialize, and I have a prosthesis.” Previously a dancer, Keith became a dance teacher. Luke is still the car enthusiast and Alex identifies himself as a traveller and musician. These findings challenge the concepts of bereavement and biographical disruption,59,60 and deny the discourse within rehabilitation literature61,62 that claims that upon the acquiring of impairment, identity becomes founded in the disability experience. The notion of re-embodiment discussed by Papadimitriou30 was not discussed extensively by the participants, but it seems that the wheelchair or the prosthesis has been integrated into the body image of each participant. Rebecca considers her prosthesis as an extension of herself and “feels very limited without it.” She named each prosthetic leg she got along the years, as if she developed a relationship with each leg. However, she made it clear that her prosthesis is only part of her identity.
Most participants emphasized that their youth was not robbed from them. They associate themselves with being young and give importance to aesthetics, fashion, leisure, and future planning like any other youth, as noted by Wedgwood.63 Luke “always feel[s] like a youth and will keep on feeling like that … [He’s] trying not to get old.” What is remarkable about Luke is that the disabled identity is not perceived as a threat to his youth identity. Both identities coexist together without any hint of friction. Participants referred to the different roles they adopted in different contexts. For example, Alex is a young man, a worker, a musician, a traveller, a son and a parent, as well as an amputee. This notion of the coexistence of identities and roles compares well with the literature63,64 in that a person has multiple coexisting identities, each of which comes to the forefront according to contexts and time. Robert did not consider himself as a youth, but focused more on his identity as a parent.
Although most participants associate themselves with being young, they also acknowledged that they are not like any other youth. Alex expressed that sometimes he finds himself detached from others, feeling like an “outcast” and wondering how normal he is. Rebecca is aware that she’s not like her friend who’s 25, and that she hobbles and cannot wear shorts or skirts without being self-conscious. Yet most participants try to ignore such elements of difference. Accordingly, 4 out of the 6 participants do not consider themselves disabled. This is consistent with the assertion that persons with disabilities do not necessarily take on the disabled identity,65,66especially since they are still young.67 Alex explained that he has few functional limitations, such as his inability to run or take a long hike without pain, but many non-disabled persons are unable to do these activities as well. Participants expressed how the Maltese culture’s perceptions about persons with disabilities hold them back from identifying themselves as disabled. Participants tend to feel disabled only when other individuals and services are involved. Samuel, Luke, and Robert expressed that they want to lessen the amount of burden they are on others. Only Luke and Robert associated themselves with the disabled identity. In Luke’s eyes, disability has to do with lack of ability. He stated that his self-esteem is affected when he compares himself to individuals who can walk.
We share our lifeworld with others and thus our relationships with others are intertwined in our personal lived experiences. All participants recognized those persons who have been offering their support from the start. All participants identified the family as being crucial to their lived experiences. The strong familial bonds also seem to be reflected in the high level of support and parental influence received by the participants. These findings follow the conclusions drawn by Schembri Lia68 that Maltese families are resilient and are a source of guidance and support. With an affirmative approach, Rebecca’s parents perceived her as their daughter above all else and never treated her differently because of having an amputation. She recalled how once she told her dad she couldn’t wash the dishes because she didn’t have her prosthesis on at the time and how he just grabbed a high stool for her to sit on to wash them.
Alex and Robert testify that despite their physical impairments, they still fulfill the role of a parent. During his interview, Robert highlighted several aspects of any father’s role: being there to play with the child, passing on noble life values, supporting the child in all matters, and respecting the child’s position about marital issues.
Most participants emphasized the positive impact of their friends on their self-concepts and youth life after the injury. Friends were crucial in continuing to enjoy leisure activities and retain the joy of youth central to the person’s life. Keith’s friends “still saw [him] as Keith. So they would, for example, get [him] fashion necklaces … stereo, CDs, [and] the headphones to listen to Guns ‘N’ Roses” when he was in hospital, while Alex’s friends used to forget that he could not run when they used to play Ring and Run, as they “treat[ed] [him] as one of them.” There was unanimous agreement among participants that disabled peers are also important in their lives, as made equally evident in previous research.50,57,69,70 Having a shared worldview, there seems to be a greater sense of equality, empathy, and understanding among disabled peers, which distinguishes them from other types of social support networks.
Most participants noted that the acquiring of the physical impairment did influence their relationships with their partners or potential partners, but not necessarily in a negative way. Agreeing with Scherer,71 Keith claimed that self-perceptions might play a greater role than others’ perceptions in relationships. Accordingly, Rebecca stated: “I always approach it that if someone didn’t accept my leg, they didn’t really deserve me. Because it was part of me whether they like it or not …” Both Samuel and Luke were in a relationship at the time of injury, both of which continued afterwards. Participants described their partners as being very supportive and encouraging. Contrastingly, Robert’s injury was followed by a marital breakup, which made the lived experience more complex. North72 has noted that the acquiring of an impairment may challenge family dynamics and relationships.
Participants discussed the Maltese health services at length. The closing down of the spinal cord injury (SCI) specialized unit, the limitations within the prosthetic unit, the physical environment of certain healthcare settings, the lack of specialized training and resources, the challenge of putting knowledge into practice, and the fact that the services were offered to individuals of all ages under the same roof were all mentioned as downsides. Those participants who had the opportunity to receive health services abroad referred to the huge difference between Malta and locations abroad in terms of specialized settings and the rehabilitation experience, as well as the available resources and training opportunities.
Agreeing with Evans,74 most participants stressed the fact that they are the persons who know best about their own experiences. Samuel extended this element of expertise to his family members. Keith appreciated that some professionals acknowledged his own expertise and perceived him to be better than them at addressing people about the disability experience. Yet, it seems that some professionals are still holding strong onto the power of expertise.75,76 Both Samuel and Rebecca highlighted that having an impairment does not make you an expert knower about the experience of all persons with impairments. Each lived experience has its own expert knower, since no two experiences are the same, even when the impairment is similar, as highlighted by Samuel when he said that “everyone in his life is facing different situations, experiences, and obstacles.” Rebecca also referred to the role of media in the public portrayal of the disability experience. Persons with disabilities who speak in public must emphasize that their experiences are merely theirs, and they should not make sweeping statements about other persons with disabilities.
Additionally, all participants referred to their encounters with the non-disabled population. This issue revolved around the fact that individuals vary in their responses toward persons with disabilities, but the clear majority are usually negative since they are based on notions of disablism and ableism, as concluded by Loja, Costa, Hughes, and Menezes.77 Rebecca referred to the lack of exposure that makes individuals feel uncomfortable and unknowledgeable about how to react when they meet someone with an impairment. The lack of understanding about the experience of having an impairment lets curiosity take the lead in people’s questions.77Keith also commented that people are overprotective in their approach when “they mummy [disabled persons].” Amputees talked about hiding the prosthesis to avoid the labelling and pigeonholing process. Yet, those participants whose injury occurred more than 14 years ago acknowledged that there was an improvement along the years in people’s responses toward persons with disabilities in Malta. Keith associated this improvement with more active participation of persons with disabilities in the public arena, increased exposure, and improved knowledge.
Services need to ensure that their structures and allocation of resources respond to the needs of persons with disabilities, even if they are small in number. The concept of lifeworld-led care is new to the Maltese healthcare context, but it could be an enabling tool in improving local services and empowering our clients. Professionals need to start thinking of structuring services through a bottom-up approach to give primacy to the expert knower – the person with an impairment. Furthermore, the relevance of peer counselling among persons with disabilities needs to be discussed and developed into a formalized service.
This project has contributed new findings to an under-researched area and demonstrated the potential of phenomenology within disability studies. I consider the blend of hermeneutic phenomenology with emancipatory principles as a success, as participants were at the forefront of the entire research process. This combined approach was the first of its sort in Malta. Further phenomenologically-oriented emancipatory research within disability studies is required, particularly regarding acquired impairment and youth, and possibly having a longitudinal design. Such research can put more pressure on society and social institutions to question themselves and work harder to promote respect for persons with disabilities.
The small sample size can be perceived as a threat to representability and generalizability, but it was not the study’s purpose to proceed along those lines. The study was designed to focus on individual experiences, remaining attached to the day-to-day lived experiences of the participants and presenting possibilities of lived reality. The fact that participants had different types of physical impairments can be seen as a limitation in this study. However, physical variables may not be the main influencing factors when a person becomes impaired, as evident in this study and others.69 The study findings present a more holistic view of reality than studies that focus on specific physical and rehabilitative aspects, and give a new perspective to the experience of acquiring an impairment, incorporating elements of positivity and continuity. Should the study design have incorporated a longitudinal design, it could have possibly contributed further to the gap in current literature. Being a researcher and a physiotherapist with a special interest in disability studies may sound conflicting, but my dual role as a researcher and a physiotherapist enabled me to better analyze the disability experience from different standpoints. Reflexivity has been instrumental in holding on to the emancipatory aims of this research, acknowledging my positioning, and moving forward to new perspectives.
Ultimately, through this research journey, I reconfirmed my conviction that the person experiencing the phenomenon is the expert knower; this has strengthened my desire to better understand the person in his or her mode of being-in-the-world.

Difference between revisions of "Curing Carter BBD Carb Issues"
Running lean is a common problem with the Carter feedback BBD carb with CEC engine controls. Here’s how to test for the cause and adjust.
Jeep used the feedback Carter BBD on its 4.2 engines with CEC controls until 1990. To convert the BBD into a feedback version, Carter added a stepper motor to move two tapered metering pins. The stepper motor moves the metering pins in and out of two orifices (think of them as jets) to correspond to feedback the CEC computer receives from the input sensors.
The stepper motor has a range of 100 steps, but normally operates in the midrange. Both metering pins move at the same time, just like the metering rods in older 2bbl carburetors. However, unlike metering rods, these metering pins are different lengths and diameters. When installed in the carburetor, the pins are situated one above the other, with the main metering pin on top.
Don’t forget to plug the stepper motor back into the harness.
If you remember the days of metering rods and jets in carburetors, understanding this carburetor should be a cakewalk for you. For the newer etches who cut their teeth on injectors, think of this as the first generation idle air controller (IAC), but with an added function.

However, unlike metering rods, these metering pins are different lengths and diameters. When installed in the carburetor, the pins are situated one above the other, with the main metering pin on top. Also unlike conventional carburetors, you can look down the air horn of this carb and actually see the position of the main metering pin. That’s an important feature to remember when adjusting A/F mixture on this carburetor.
1.Four-inch vacuum switch. No, it’s not 4 inches in length. It’s called that because it’s connected to ported vacuum and closes internal contacts any time vacuum measures above 4 inches Hg.
2.Ten-inch vacuum switch. Similar to the switch above, this one is connected to manifold vacuum and closes internal contacts when vacuum goes under 10 inches Hg.
3.O2 sensor. Standard single wire 0-1 volt sensor, with less than .5v indicating lean and above .5v indicating rich exhaust.
4.Air temperature switch. Thermal electric switch that switches closed below 58 degrees Fahrenheit, and open at all temps above 58 degrees Fahrenheit.
5.Coolant temperature switch. Thermal electric switch that switches open below 135 degrees Fahrenheit, and closed above 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
To check for a lean condition, remove the air cleaner and look down at the top of the carburetor. Using the illustration to the right as a guide, determine where the main metering pin is.
As with other engine computer systems, the actuators only do what they are told —unless there is a mechanical malfunction of the actuator itself. So before you think about replacing the stepper motor and metering pins, first check all the sensors listed on the other side of this page.
If your examination of the metering pins shows that the metering pins are in the middle of the opening, or all the way toward the rear of the opening, the computer is commanding a lean condition. To diagnose a lean condition, check the O2, coolant temp switch, air temp switch, both vacuum switches and the wide open throttle switch.
If you see the metering pins pushed all the way forward, the problem is most likely not due to a sensor or computer problem. Check for a carburetor problem or a vacuum leak.
With the engine at operating temperature, note the location of the main metering pin. If it is in the middle, you are ready to set the idle mixture. Unplug the stepper motor and then adjust the idle mixture to give you the lowest CO possible, without any rise in HC.
If the metering pin is not in the middle position, you need the computer to move it there. Add or subtract fuel and wait for the pin to show movement. Continue this until the pin is in the middle. Then, unplug the stepper motor and proceed as above.

What Is This 25-foot Santa Doing In Dyker Heights?
It's unlike anything you've ever seen in New York. Which is precisely why it's such a New York thing.
Dyker Heights is smallish neighborhood nestled between Bensonhurst to the east and Bay Ridge to the west. It's a classic old school Italian neighborhood, with a very fantastic holiday tradition.
The online magazine Brklynr, whose in-depth articles about Brooklyn affairs covers topics like community policing in East New York, or surveying the landscape of Coney Island through the eyes of Hubert Selby, published a wonderfully written and photographed piece last year about the residents of Dyker Heights and their viral neighborhood display of Christmas lights, which has grown in fame and visitor counts each year.
Although the origin story is murky (no one seems to know who started it) the neighborhood boasts over a hundred participating residents and some of the most extravagant displays of holiday spirit imaginable. It's pure visual spectacle, all blinking lights and reindeer and oversized Santas, spread out over a system of over a dozen city blocks.
"If you can’t take the kids to Disneyworld or Disneyland, you bring them here,” notes longtime resident Angela Locombo. It's fitting that Dyker Heights would serve as the backdrop for theme park-like illumination with its array of fantasy homes: Greco-roman statues, neo-colonialist columns and balconies, Old World villas and perfectly manicured flora. This is their yearly coming-out party, a tradition that stretches back over 40 years.
It's also the perfect place and time for night photography, and with lights going up beginning around Thanksgiving and reaching full tilt in mid-December, it's chance to capture a true winter wonderland. Bring a tripod (essential), a flash if you have one, and get ready to reach the absolute zenith of holiday cheer.

Several years ago, a couple thousand people filed into Le Grand Rex, a Paris auditorium, to watch a performance. It was not a concert, however. Instead, a group of professional computer-game players competed to see who could win at “StarCraft 2,” a science fiction game where human exiles from Earth battle aliens.
Beyond the audience watching in person, meanwhile, was another audience streaming an online broadcast of the competition — including T.L. Taylor, a professor in the Comparative Media Studies/Writing program at MIT.
For years, Taylor has been chronicling the rise of esports: competitive computer games watched by audiences like the one at Le Grand Rex. But, as Taylor chronicles in a new book, esports showcases are part of a larger cultural trend toward livestreaming as a distinctive mode of entertainment. That trend also encompasses a scrappier outsider culture of do-it-yourself gaming broadcasts and other uses of streaming, a genre as popular as it is overlooked in the mainstream media.
“We’re at a fascinating moment right now,” says Taylor, about the growth of the livestreaming movement.
And now, in her book, “Watch Me Play: Twitch and the Rise of Game Livestreaming,” Taylor examines the ascendance of livestreaming in its many forms, while analyzing the commercialization of streaming and some of the social tensions that come with the subculture.
As Taylor emphasizes in the book, the rise of livestreaming is very much tied to Twitch, the San Francisco-based streaming website where people broadcast their contests, and their lives. Twitch has about 10 million active daily users and was purchased by Amazon in 2014.
Originally, livestreaming was not necessarily meant to focus on gaming. Instead, it was partly conceived as a “new form of reality TV,” according to Justin Kan, who in 2007 founded Justin.tv, a site broadcasting events from his own life. After seeing how popular livestreaming of gaming was, however, Kan and some partners founded Twitch as a separate platform. It has since grown to encompass people who stream cooking and “social eating” content, music shows, and more.
Still, computer gaming remains a principal driver of livestreaming. One branch of this has become organized esports, complete with teams, sponsors, and corporate investment. Another branch consists of individuals building their own audiences and brands, one gaming session at a time, broadcasting on camera while playing and interacting with their audiences.
This can be a grueling occupation. In the book, Taylor visits the home of a suburban Florida gaming entrepreneur while he broadcasts a playing session that begins at 3:30 a.m., to draw a global audience. After several hours, the session netted this independent livestreaming player about 50 new subscribers, 800 new followers, and $500 in donations, all while his children slept.
“Eventually these livestreamers become not only content producers but also brand and community managers,” Taylor writes in the book. Some of them are also unlikely broadcast personalities, by their own admission. “I guess a part of me is that talkative person on the screen, but as soon as it goes off … I’m kind of a quiet person offstream,” says gaming star J.P. McDaniel, as recounted in Taylor’s book.
Meanwhile, livestreaming is a heavily male-dominated field. As Taylor documents in the book, women, people of color, and participants from the LGBTQ community can face serious levels of harassment, which limits their participation in the culture.
“Women also continue to face stereotypes and pushback when they focus on competitive games and have professional aspirations,” Taylor writes in the book. Indeed, a central theme of “Watch Me Play” is that all forms of livestreaming, including professional esports, have much to tell us about larger social trends, instead of existing as a kind of cultural cul-de-sac.
For this reason, Taylor adds, “those very moments when people are engaging in play remain some of the most politically infused spaces” in society. Thus, for all the novelty, Taylor hopes her study of livestreaming will appeal to those who have never watched competitive computer games, alone or at Le Grand Rex.
“My hope is that it [the book] gets picked up by not only those who are interested in livestreaming, but readers who might want to finally understand how to think about gaming” as it expands in society, and as entertainment becomes diversified across media platforms, Taylor says.

Some books and Internet sites tell you use anti-fungal remedies created for the so-called “Candidiasis Hypersensitivity Syndrome” to treat your vaginal or male yeast infection.
They claim that you can only avoid future yeast infections if you kill all of the yeast, everywhere in your body.
The vast majority of yeast organisms do no harm, so there is no need to kill off all the Candida currently living in your gastrointestinal tract—especially if you have a functioning immune system and your infection is localized to the genital area.
Taking orally administered antimicrobial products, natural or not, can damage your beneficial bacterial population and cause even more problems than you started with. Those beneficial bacteria are needed by your digestive system, as well as being your first defense against an excessive overgrowth of yeast.
Using systemic anti fungal treatments can cause your yeast population to become drug-resistant. This is why doctors prescribe topical medications for vaginal yeast infections whenever possible, instead of orally-administered drugs.
Chronic vaginal yeast infections are sometimes a symptom of a serious underlying medical condition that needs to be treated by a qualified health professional. If you keep getting yeast infections and there isn’t an obvious cause (hormone treatment or birth control pills, recent antibiotics, high-sugar diet, etc.,) then it may be time to ask your doctor for a thorough exam to rule out an underlying condition, such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, or an illness that has weakened your immune system.
Some of these authors also claim that the treatment is supposed to make you sick – the more miserable you feel while taking the natural medications, the better the cure is working. What is really happening, of course, is that your body is being poisoned, and it’s reacting accordingly. Anti-fungal herbs are non-specific – they damage animal cells, bacteria and fungi. Authors who recommend these potions tell you that feeling bad is a good thing because any normal person would instinctively discontinue any treatment that makes them sick. They have been so convincing that forums all over the web contain personal stories about “how well my herbal yeast infection remedy worked,” based solely on how miserable it made them feel.
If you get an exam and your doctor can’t find a reason for your chronic infections, you may want to make an appointment with a naturopathic physician. These doctors seem to have a bit more time to spend with their patients, and are more concerned with making sure your system is balanced and healthy. They will use natural remedies when available, but will also monitor your progress and recommend dietary and lifestyle changes that can help keep your yeast infection from coming back.

Ten Facts About a Fun Team is a new feature in which we’ll take a look back at a notable team and season from NHL history. That team may have been good. It may have been bad. But it was definitely interesting, and as such it deserves to be remembered.
When the St. Louis Blues signed Martin Brodeur last week, something about the move seemed vaguely … familiar.
The signing seemed like a curious decision, and one that was somewhat out of character for a Blues front office that’s spent years patiently building a legitimate Cup contender. The last time they tried to get fancy was the Ryan Miller trade and that didn’t work out well, so you figured the Blues would go back to being, well, the Blues.
But there was a time almost two decades ago when this kind of move — bringing in an aging, Hall of Fame–caliber veteran with a big name that he made elsewhere — was pretty much the Blues’ trademark. And during the 1995-96 season, it led to the creation of one of the most fascinating teams we’ve ever seen.
Of course, that year’s team had what we could politely call a “unique” vision at the top of the org chart. We might as well start there.
We need to start here, because all the madness that follows springs directly from Iron Mike.
The 1995-96 season was Keenan’s second as the coach and general manager of the Blues. He’d jumped to St. Louis after winning the Stanley Cup with the Rangers in 1994, citing a technicality in his contract and kicking off a debacle that ended up getting him suspended for 60 days. That suspension, and the half-season lockout that followed, prevented Keenan from wreaking too much havoc on the Blues roster.
The next year was different. With a full offseason to play with, Keenan went to work. He traded Brendan Shanahan for Chris Pronger. He signed Grant Fuhr as a free agent. He signed Shayne Corson, too, losing Curtis Joseph to the Oilers as compensation in the process. And a few weeks into the season, he stripped Brett Hull of his captaincy and gave it to Corson.
Hull didn’t especially appreciate that last move, and it set off a feud with Keenan that would be one of the dominant subplots of the season. Hull was the best player in franchise history and would go on to record his seventh consecutive 40-plus-goal season (not counting the lockout year), but Keenan didn’t like the winger’s offense-first style of play. To this day, it’s fair to say Hull is not a fan.
As the season wore on, the crusty coach/GM decided the franchise needed a new face. And so he did what any of us would do: He went out and landed the biggest star the game has ever known.
Any hockey fan can picture Gretzky’s greatest moments: smashing records and lifting Stanley Cups as a kid in Edmonton; bringing the game to a whole new segment of fans as a slickly marketed star in Los Angeles; taking one last victory lap as a classy veteran in New York. But you could be forgiven for forgetting that The Great One was also, briefly, a St. Louis Blue. Lots of hockey fans have.
With the 1996 trade deadline approaching and Gretzky playing out the final year of his deal on a bad Kings club, it became apparent that Los Angeles could end up moving its captain. The Rangers emerged as the favorite, but couldn’t close. That opened the door for the Blues, and Keenan got the deal done: Gretzky for Craig Johnson, Patrice Tardif, Roman Vopat, and draft picks.
That doesn’t sound like much, and in hindsight it wasn’t. Vopat was the centerpiece, a 19-year-old rookie who’d played 25 games in St. Louis. Johnson and Tardif were both young forwards. Of the group, only Johnson went on to any sort of productive career, although even that was mostly as a depth guy, and none of the players the Kings chose with the draft picks ever played in the NHL.
Keenan might have been a tyrant in the dressing room, but he knew how to win a trade. Gretzky was immediately named captain, relieving Corson of his duties. The idea of the greatest setup man in history being paired with Hull was almost too good to be true. Gretzky even scored in his first game.
Weekend wrap: Is it time for Lou to go?
What can we learn from the Edmonton Oilers?

If you are dealing with hair loss and have tried various remedies to no avail, it may be time to consider a hair transplant. Medical hair restoration with a transplant is the only proven solution to hair loss. But before you are willing to spend the money on a hair transplant, you rightly want to know if it’s worth it. Do hair transplants really work? What kinds of results can you expect from a hair transplant? What can you do to make sure you get great hair transplant results?
The best way to get such questions answered is to talk with a patient who has just undergone the procedure. David, a 34-year old Nashville Hair Doctor patient, had his NeoGraft hair transplant in July 2018. Just six months later, in January of 2019, he is very happy with his results so far. We wanted to know what his secret was to get such great results relatively early, and whether he had any other tips and tricks for the recovery. You can see his answer to this and other questions in the interview below.
Q: What made you want to get a hair transplant?
A: Basically, I started noticing that the crown of my head was showing. It’s not a spot you typically see, so I had no idea that I had this bald spot. I actually always thought I had good hair because of genetics, so it was quite a shock to learn otherwise.
Q: When you decided to have a hair transplant, what were you most concerned about going in?
A: I wasn’t really concerned about the procedure. Maybe the fact that I had to sit there for 8 hours, I was a little wary of that.
Q: Did the procedure last longer or shorter than you expected? How did you pass the time?
A: It was just about as long as I thought. I got to watch TV most of the time, so looking back it doesn’t seem that long at all. I had a remote control and could turn on whatever I wanted. I had to sit in different positions depending on where they worked.
Q: Was it painful, or how would you describe the feeling?
A: They numbed the areas they worked on with lidocaine, so I didn’t feel much of anything. I could sometimes feel a little pinch from where they extracted hair, or a little pinprick where it was inserted. But it was easy to manage because I was in control of the pain level.
Q: What was your recovery like, i.e. did you have any discomfort afterwards, how did you sleep, was there any swelling, etc.?
A: My recovery lasted about a week. I wasn’t in any pain, but I waited about that long before showing myself in public again. I had some swelling that started at the top of the head and came down to the jaw on the 2nd day. I slept with my head elevated, and this is a big deal. When you lay flat is when you swell. One night I slipped off the pillow and slept normal and that is when my face was swollen. It took 1-2 days to disappear again. They recommend sleeping in a recliner for the first 7 days, and if I did it again, that’s what I would do.
Q: Was your head itchy afterwards? How long did you wait before washing your hair?
A: The back of my head was itchy where they extracted the hair. I kept a squirt bottle to spray water on it whenever it felt itchy. I waited 3 days before washing my hair. After that I used a cup to pour soapy water on my head, just like Shauna at the Hair Doctor had instructed me. I got a set of instructions on when I could wear a hat again, how to wash my hair, etc. My tip is to follow those instructions. If anything, I was even more careful. I would say the secret to good hair transplant results is to “baby” your hair that first week and not do anything that might harm those grafts. Whatever they tell you not to do, don’t do it!
Q: Did people notice anything afterwards?
A: For the first week of course it’s very noticeable, your head is covered in red dots. After a week you still have the scabs so people can see, then they turn into itty bitty hairs at the front hairline. I was confident talking about it so this didn’t bother me. It stops when the new hair falls out at around the 1-month mark*. After that nobody notices that you’ve had anything done, you just get compliments!
Q: When did you see the first results, and were they as expected?
A: I would say at about 2-3 months. At 6 months I’m definitely further along than I anticipated. I think it’s because I did everything like instructed. I didn’t wear tight fitting hats at all for the first few months.
Q: How soon after your procedure did you return to work?
A: I went back after 1 week. Physically I could have go sooner but I wanted to give time for swelling and scabs to go away.
David had a hair transplant using the NeoGraft technology, which uses a concept called Follicular Unit Extraction. He had 2,800 grafts transplanted in a one-day procedure that lasted approximately eight hours. Below you can see the timeline, in pictures, of his hair transplant results up until the 6-month mark, with more growth still expected up until around 14 months.
We hope that you were able to learn more about hair transplants and the Dos and Dont’s during hair transplant recovery. If you are interested in learning more, we invite you to upload your picture to receive a free quote.
*Yes, your transplanted hair actually falls out around 3-4 weeks post-op; this is completely normal. The roots (follicles) are still there and will start reproducing your hair.

Improving a job candidate’s experience—especially at the preapplication stage—is the top talent acquisition goal employers plan to focus on in 2019, according to research from the Talent Board.
The San Cruz-based nonprofit organization produces the annual Candidate Experience Awards (or the CandEs, as they are popularly known) and releases the data that determine the winners each year. The 2018 report is a comprehensive look at 200 companies’ 2018 talent acquisition practices related to candidate experience. It includes survey feedback from the organizations, job candidates and 130,000 additional job seekers.
One finding from the research is that “candidate experience and employer branding are by far the top recruiting initiatives or activities employers plan on focusing on in 2019,” said Kevin Grossman, Talent Board president, who is responsible for the global CandEs program.

It’s that time of year again. The Muslim holiday, Eid was yesterday and keeping my mother’s tradition going I spent the days before creating a feast of different Arabic desserts. By no means was this an easy task given that I worked everyday this week, but I did it! I recreated all the sweets that my mom makes every year.
See that’s the problem with being so far away from home. It’s not hard to leave traditions behind, packed away in a cardboard box. Sometimes, you need to unpack that box to give your kids the fond memories you had growing up. A constant reminder that being an expat is no reason to leave the box closed.
All right. Let me tell you a little more about our sweet making tradition. My mom, along with my sister and later my sister-in-law would bake up a storm twice a year, filling our house with the sweet aroma of rose water and orange blossom. They buttered phyllo dough and moulded perfectly shaped semolina cookies.
Where was I when this was happening? On dish duty! Yes, my responsibility was to clear the dishes and keep the area clean!!!!
In time (and by time I mean YEARS!) I was promoted to oven duty! I was given the privilege of crouching in front of a radiating oven to make sure that the Ka’ak didn’t burn. One tray out, one tray in. I would like to say I was damn good at my job…. but that would be a bit of a fib. I burnt more than my fair share of Ka’ak. Luckily I liked the burnt ones so I was less bothered than my mom.
by mom albeit only when baking sheets were first put in the oven or when all the dishes were washed. I think I was okay with my role in the kitchen. Everyone else did all the hard work while I skirted around the edges sneaking a baklava or six!
This all changed when I moved to London. It was then that I decided to unpack the box of traditions. That year I worked alone, dutifully making the sweets following my mom’s recipes notoriously void of proper measurement. I pushed my mom hard enough and she finally gave in and substitute directions like a “a couple of spoons of ground anise to a more precise ONE TABLESPOON. with measurements in hand I was able to bake away! That year I baked up a frenzy of sweets. Baklava, Ma’Moul, Ka’ak, Harissa, Ghrabiye… Drool!
I promoted myself from oven duty to head chef! My London friends loved everything. I was on top of the world! I did it ! I filled the house with the scents of my childhood!
Last year we were out of town for the Eid so I only made Ka’ak after I came back from vacation.
Baklava: Crushed walnuts tightly rolled in a phyllo dough crust.
Ka’ak: Flour based sweet bread made in the shape of a cookie. Usually made without a filling but my mom stuffs them with dates and now that’s the only way my family will eat them!
I did not have to work alone! My cool son and several awesome neighbors stopped by to pound out Ma’Moul moulds, roll baklava fingers and of course taste test everything! One of the most popular and easiest desserts I made was the Harissa so I figured I would share that recipe with you today! If you can get your hands on the semolina orange blossom and rose water, you’ll be able to make it at home without any special tools.
By hand, mix together, both semolinas, sugar, yogurt, baking powder, rose water and orange blossom until the mixture thickens and holds together.
Syrup: Bring to boil 4 Cups Sugar with 2 Cups Water. Allow to boil for 5-7 minutes so that sugar dissolves and syrup thickens. Add 2 Tablespoons Orange Blossom extract (can be found in Middle Eastern stores or check out Amazon) and 1/2 squeezed lemon. Allow to cool completely before pouring onto Harissa.
Almonds: Peel the almonds and cut them in half. The easiest way to do this is to soak the almonds in cold water for about 30 minutes, then the peel will easily come off).
Cut the Harissa into squares. Push an almond into the center of each square.
Bake for 40 minutes or until top is golden brown.
IMMEDIATELY after taking out out of the oven you must pour the 1 cup of melted butter on top followed by the syrup.
Don’t be intimidated by the amount of syrup you’re pouring on top. The cake will absorb the syrup like a sponge! The last time I made this I decided to half the syrup. Big mistake. The top of the cake was sweet but the rest was dry and missing it’s signature syrup coating!
Another tip… watch your gloves! I accidentally put my gloved thumb into the Harissa while trying to pull the pan out of the oven. OOPS!! I decided I would have to eat those pieces first!
3 Comments on Baklava, Ka’ak, Ma’moul, Harissa, OH MY!
Hello Tammy! Sorry for the delay but I didn't have the recipe with my on vacation. Below is my mom's recipe and in my personal opinion the best kaak recipe ever! You can add pitted, pureed dates to them as well for an added sweetness. You roll the kaak dough into a ball and then use your finger to make a hole in the middle. Put a piece of pureed date in the middle then close the opening. Continue with the recipe as stated. 4 cups Flour 1 1/2 cups Sugar 1/2 cup butter 1t baking powder 1T Ground Anise 1T Mahlab 1T Yeast Pinch of salt 1 1/2-2 cups warm milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil Mix together all ingredients except oil. Knead well. When adding milk, add slowly and make sure that the dough is not runny. It should be spongy feeling and light. Then add oil. Mix again. Cover and let rise overnight. Use a greased kaak mould (or the bottom of a decorative cup) to make a design on the dough. Bake 450F for 8-10 minutes and then broil the top for 1 minute until golden brown. Hope you enjoy!
Can u please send me the recipe for kaak.

Mark any type of container or drum with a hazardous waste label to ensure proper handling.
Hazardous Waste Labels Labels help meet D.O.T. (49 CFR part 172) and EPA (40 CFR part 262.31-32) regulations for labeling substance containers for hazardous waste. Specifications do not include size or color of labels; however, regulations do require that the labels be durable, in English, written sharply, and in contrasting colors. The view of hazardous waste labels is not to be impaired by other labels, attachments or markings.

TJ Dillashaw will no longer be the UFC bantamweight champion, as the 135-pound fighter announced he was “voluntarily relinquishing” the title after the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) and the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed him of an “adverse finding” on a drug test taken before his last bout.
The NYSAC later confirmed the news, releasing a statement announcing a one-year suspension and a $10,000 fine for Dillashaw.
Dillashaw (17-4) first relayed the news to fans via a statement posted to his Instagram account on Wednesday morning.
While the NYSAC confirmed the suspension with a statement of its own, neither party made any reference to what came up on a test to trigger the suspension. The USADA also released a statement that was short on details due to the ongoing nature of the case.
Dillashaw was ranked as the No. 7 pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC, and recently sought to become the promotion’s latest multiple weight class champion. In January, he moved down to the flyweight division to fight Henry Cejudo, but was stopped in just 32 seconds by the divisional champion.
That result had led to speculation that Cejudo (14-2) might fight a rematch with Dillashaw at 135 pounds, in the hopes of adding the bantamweight title to his belt. Those thoughts were certainly echoed by Eric Albarracin, Cejudo’s coach, following Wednesday’s announcement.
Both Albarracin and Cejudo expressed sympathy for Dillashaw, saying they were still waiting on the final determination before passing judgement on him.
With Dillashaw abdicating the title, the UFC will likely set up a featured fight to determine a new bantamweight champion before long. While there are several worthy contenders in one of the promotion’s deepest divisions, No. 1 contender Marlon Moraes (22-5) would seem to be a natural choice, with Pedro Munhoz, Aljamain Sterling, and Raphael Assuncao also potentially in the mix.

Garreth Scott, Managing Director of Credence Security, has an extensive bank of experience in the cybersecurity sector to draw on. ITC talks to him about his most memorable achievements, his career in technology and his managerial strategy.
Credence Security specialises in IT security, forensics and incident response.
Working closely with leading IT security vendors including AccessData, Fidelis CyberSecurity, eSentire and Digital Guardian, Credence Security delivers cyber and IT security technologies and solutions that protect organisations against advanced persistent threats, malicious adversaries and internal malpractice.
Credence Security is headquartered in Dubai and serves enterprises across the Middle East, Africa and India through a network of over 70 resellers throughout the territory.
Here we speak to the company’s Managing Director Garreth Scott about his role at the company, its successful track record and its current activities.
Describe your current job role and the parts that are somewhat challenging?
I am the Managing Director at Credence Security and in this role, I look after the Europe, Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI) region. We live in an incredibly fast-paced part of the world and work in an industry that is extremely innovative, competitive and ever-evolving, with new players popping up daily. As a consequence, I think the challenges we all face are the same – that is to stay relevant to our partners and customers and remain focused on the task at hand, which is to deliver leading solutions within our target markets.
When you look back at your career what has been the most memorable achievement?
Whether it was selling my first IT company at the young age of 18, successfully launching the first local ISP in the town where I grew up, closing the first multi-million dollar Wi-Fi project in the UAE in the early 2000s or successfully launching the F5 division within Computerlinks and growing it to one of the largest products within the portfolio, I have been blessed to have had several successes throughout my career and have very fond memories of my time at each company I have worked for.
Most recently, launching the Credence Security brand in the Middle East and India and growing it to where it is today, we are the most successful forensics distributor in our region, gives me immense pride – one of the reasons I still wake up every day raring to go! As a true salesman at heart, I remember each and every order….it still gives me a kick!
What made you think of a career in technology?
That is a long story…and more a case of being at the right place at the right time. So, I like to say that technology chose me as opposed to the other way around! To cut a long story short, at the age of 15 in South Africa, at my first part time job, I was asked to help out a friend who had just won a large turnkey networking IT project. 20 plus years later, I am just as passionate as ever.
What style of management philosophy do you employ at your current position?
I like to live by the mantra ‘Work Hard, Play Hard’. The environment at Credence Security, particularly around quarter end (which I am sure is true of most organisations here in the region!) can be extremely stressful and definitely not for the faint of heart, but I think we try and have fun while doing it. We are a small team but we are all passionate, dedicated and most importantly determined to deliver great solutions and service to our customers.
What do you think will be the hot technology talking point of 2019?
With data breaches becoming more commonplace, I expect greater accountability to be a trend in 2019. As such, the number of businesses required to provide some form of security assessment, audit report, or attestation will increase along with general cybersecurity awareness. A couple of other trends that I expect to only see gather momentum is a consolidation of market players, OEM agreements for vendors to work closer and better together and product roadmaps to include greater functionality and overlap within the traditional vendor portfolio.
What are your personal interests and where do you like to spend most of your time after work?
I love to travel (not for work), go see a movie or try out something good at one of the latest restaurants in town – I am a bit of a foodie, if I am honest! Most of all though, I enjoy spending time at home with family and friends – they keep my world turning.
How do you cope with stress and demands of your career?
Cooking or watching a movie helps me relax and unwind and take my mind off the work and all the pressing tasks and demands of the job. Having the right team, which I believe Credence Security has, reduces a lot of the stress in my life – we work well together and this makes all the difference.
What gives you great job satisfaction?
I take immense pride and satisfaction in having built a strong team and culture here at Credence Security. When I see our employees choose to advance their career within the organisation or when I hear from an ex-employee that left Credence, based on empty promises from a new company, only for them to return a few months later, it tells me we are doing something right. Oh, and of course, it always gives me joy and brings a smile to my face when I hand over the bonus cheques and see employees’ faces light up – makes all the hard work and stress worth it!

What we post on our social media not only indicates our mood of the day, in the case of a picture, for example, it shows our style, life, passions. Posting an image has the undeniable power to give others an idea of what we are experiencing. Even though a picture a day doesn't mean much compared to the 24 hours that compose that day. It’s almost ironic if you think of how much work and dedication goes to build your social image literally cropping out of the picture everything that’s modest, dull, repetitive, in a word: daily.
People seem to forget what’s behind an image. I first noticed it while studying abroad and my social profiles were filled with rosy cheeks, uncomfortable shoes, and wine glasses. Looking back now I, too, would assume I did nothing but party. Of course it doesn’t help when the Facebook memories feature shows me what happened on this day in 2013: my status read “Vodka is the new black!” Enough said.
Let me forward you to 2016: I am not in England anymore and I live in Melbourne. I love skyscrapers, especially at night, so when the other day I stayed in the city after work I took a couple of pictures from my favourite spot and sent them on Whatsapp to my Family group. Which I daresay is the most randomly entertaining content provider. Completely ignoring the aesthetics of my shots they pointed out how I’m always out and about having fun. I felt the need to remind them that's a phenomenon called “Social Media Hallucination”.
Social Media Hallucinations happen when you see pictures from your friends, of your classmates’ year abroad, even IGers that you don't know personally. You know where I’m going from here, right? You see an oasis and it looks so real with fresh water, trees, shadow, and peacefulness. Although the truth is that the oasis is most likely to be surrounded by sand!
We all have a repetitive daily life, I assume people don’t want to escape by looking at their phones just to see another 'desert'. What’s the point of a student posting pictures of underlined library books, an embarrassing number of cheap mushy peas cans, and eraser dust on the floor? I like living in Australia and there are many new and exciting places to discover, that’s why I would like my family and friends to see the fun, exotic, and different. I want people to see my oasis made of skyscrapers, Chocolate factories, and kangaroos, whenever I manage to spot one.
Every blogger knows that it doesn’t matter how well coordinated your stationery is, your work desk is not going to look like those perfect flat lays. Maybe next time I should share with my family pictures of trams, white collars rushing to work, traffic jams, the sad cafeteria, or me checking the e-mails. Also I’m pretty sure influencers don’t show you when they hand wash their socks or when they buy toilet paper. Just saying.

2016 is over and the new year presents us with a fresh start. I'm looking forward to all of the opportunities to grow in 2017. Here's to a new year, a new fluffy coat, a new hair color, and a blank slate.
This deep teal hair color is really, really getting me this season.
The light exhibits at the Museum of Contemporary Art are wonderful right now. I always have fun shooting in this museum!
Photos by Allen Samuel Lee. Allen is a great photographer and friend —he had all of his camera gear stolen this week. 2016 was hard for so many of us and this was a terrible way for the year to end for him. To help cover the cost of replacing all of his equipment, he has set up a GoFundMe. Any donation of any size is appreciated. If you're interested in helping, you can do so here.

Okay, so you're sitting there, late at night, staring at your computer screen with that blank, zombie-like expression, wondering "What in the World am I going to write about?
Allow me, if I may, to give you some really simple and basic tips on how to make your blogging experience more enjoyable, effective, and stress-free!
As you stroll along the beach, feeling the sand squish between your toes, do you realize that no two grains of sand are the same? Or when you're enjoying an awesome downhill run through freshly fallen powder, that no two snowflakes are alike? The real beauty of converdational blogging is that each of us can convey/communicate our uniqueness through our writing.
There is only one YOU. You are unique! (and obviously, as you read through many of the posts here on ActiveRain, you'll find that some of our members are just a bit MORE unique than the others!) You don't have to be the next Ernest Hemingway to author a successful blog. You just have to be YOURSELF!
You have your own distinct personality and it needs to have its expression through what you write. Consumers don't want to be inundated with endless, impersonal ramblings. They want to gain a sense of who you are behind your words. Two of my favorite examples of Personality Posters here on ActiveRain are Sarah Cooper and Chris Elizabeth Griffith. When you read the articles written by these two accomplished bloggers, you definitely come away with an insight into their unique personalities.
We all strive to be the very best at what we do. We consider ourselves to be dedicated professionals, constantly striving to master our chosen specialty/discipline. As such, our knowledge and expertise serves to form our opinions, viewpoints, and perspectives. Consumers want us to communicate what we know, what we've experienced, in ways that are of practical benefit to them. It doesn't mean that we come off as condescending 'Know-it-alls,' but that we freely share from the wealth of our experiences and expertise. Two prominent ActiveRain bloggers that come to mind are Lenn Harley and Broker Bryant. Both of these members are seasoned veterans of real estate. They KNOW what they're talking about, and they communicate their unique perspectives very effectively.
Real Estate professionals are some of the most passionate people I've met! They're passionate about their work; they're passionate about helping people; they're passionate about life! Your passions are both professional and personal. Anyone who has read my blogs, both here on ActiveRain, and at SOUNDBITEBLOG, knows that I love to go crabbing out on Hood Canal and eat sushi. What floats your boat? What excites you? Passions are contagious and attract kindred spirits!
So there ya have it! When you write, allow your unique personality, perspectives, and passions to shine through your words. Your audience will find value and enjoyment in what you share!
Hi Rich, you know I just put myself 'out there.' Don't need to encourage me but I guess you knew that already!
It really is a pleasure reading blogs where the writer's one-of-a-kind personality shines right through. With good content, those guys and gals are unbeatable.
Good words of encouragment for new and old bloggers alike! Great post!
There are so many interesting people here. The amount of sleep I sacrifice is well worth it.
Great advice. Thanks for the blog.
Rich...I agree with personality coming through in your blogs! Without it, it's like reading a really boring newspaper. Nice tips for rookies and veterans!
But first you need a topic... Very nice post.
I liked that toward the end "Passions are contagious and attract kindred spirits" that is true if one has a passion they are more likly to attract people that can relate to you a bit more.
It's perfectly possible to pen prose, poems and preambles primarily punctuated with p's.... Perhaps! I'll ponder it, and practice presenting perspective on my passionate personality.
Rich, my local PBS station is playing "Singin' in the Rain" and what a great movie! Has nothing to do with your post, but I'm seeing it diferently this time!
Rich, I think I could learn to include a little more of all three P's in my posts. I have mostly just presented information in the past, but I think the three P's are important in allowing people to get to know you on a more personal level.
Thanks for the tips. Great post. I agree with the 3 Ps and the names . I would add TLW to the Unique Personality list.
I am impressed with your passion and perspective on blogging. I think you take this stuff personally.
Great to remember and use in every blog. Great post Rich.
Everyone should find what they passionate about and write about it. It can be anything that you are go at in the Real Estate world.

Our first response comes from Chris at Bottom of the Barrel.
Chris took two approaches: what he keeps around his house, and what he would bring to a party. I have a feeling many of our readers will agree with some of his choices, but he went for a variety of sources to spend his Benjamin, hitting up Jim Beam, Barton, Baby Saz, and Four Roses for his bourbon party platter. He was a little more constrained in his “at his bar” collection, again choosing a Beam product, but pairing it with two Buffalo Trace bottlings and a Barton. Check out his full post here, and let us know how he did spending his Benjamin! Personally, I like his party picks…after all, any time someone brings 4 bourbons to the table, it’s party, right?
This sounds like an easy question, but the more I thought about it, the harder it became. Am I sipping it or making cocktails? Is it just for me, or am I taking it to enjoy with friends? What’s the temperature outside? Did I have a good or a bad day at work? What’s new that I haven’t tried? Are there any store pick single barrels available? What can I even get today? Which direction is the wind blowing?
With all this in mind, I decided to cheat a little and come up with two scenarios. First, what do I keep consistently stocked at my house and replace as needed, and second, what would I bring to a party where I don’t know the tastes of the people coming. Both are based on what I know I can get nearby right now, or at least with relative ease. There would be some overlap between the two lists, but for the sake of keeping it interesting I’m going to only allow each bourbon to appear once.

At The Hastings Center, Erik Parens investigates the ethical implications of using technologies such as psychopharmacology, surgery, and gene editing to shape ourselves and our children. He also investigates how emerging sciences such as genetics and neuroscience shape our understanding of ourselves as persons. His most recent book is Shaping Our Selves: On Technology, Flourishing and a Habit of Thinking (Oxford University Press).
Parens leads The Hastings Center’s new NEH-funded Humanities Research Initiative, and is a member of Columbia University’s NIH-funded Center for Excellence in Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of the Human Genome Project. He is a Fellow of the Center for Neuroscience and Society at the University of Pennsylvania, and has served as a consultant to several government and nongovernmental bodies, including the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues.
Currently Parens directs a project exploring the meaning of human flourishing in an age of gene editing. He is also an investigator on a project on the goals and practices of next-generation prenatal genetic tests and, with colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco, on a project on the potential use of genetic sequencing technology in newborns. He has previously directed projects on controversies surrounding research on the genetics of intelligence, what neuroimaging technologies can–and cannot–reveal about complex behavioral traits, the use of psychiatric medication in children, and the use of surgery to “normalize” the appearance of children born with atypical physical features; he has a long-standing interest in disability rights.
He is the author or editor of 5 books, as well as numerous articles and commentaries for academic journals and general-interest publications.
Parens received his Ph.D. and M.A. from the University of Chicago’s Committee on Social Thought, and his B.A. from the Committee on General Studies in the Humanities.

Glenledi is a small kennel located about 45 minutes southwest of Houston, Texas. Our dogs live on 100 wide open acres of pasture land with cattle and horses. The dogs get to hunt and run with the pack daily.
Glenledi breeds a few litters a year emphasizing on temperament and conformation. We get out many times a year and show our pups and adults at many of the JRTCA sanctioned trials around the country.
Here at Glenledi we have been striving to breed the best all around Jack we can for the past 9 years. We have the best blood lines for working ability and conformation available. Give us a call or stop by anytime we love to talk terriers!
How do I get in contact with these folks...?
We picked up our JRT boy a year and a half ago. He is our 3rd JRT. Bet dog ever! I would not hesitate to get another dog from Kathleen.
Dogs are great the breeder is not trustworthy. Make sure you have receipt in writing that you have paid for the pup. Even if she says she can be trusted don't. Make sure you have all paper work for both parents necessary for registering your pup, because once you leave you will never receive it even if she says she will send it.
I love my little tricolor roughcoat I got from you 3 years ago. She is a constant source of amusement, and a great addition to our "family"!RIO has been lots of fun, and I'd tell anyone to get a puppy from you!
Puppy Mill, does not back any guarantees made. Only out to collect the cash and see the puppies walk out the door. I would strongly recommend seeking out a more reputable breeder who will be there in times of need and that are actually in it for the dogs best interest!!
Do you have Jack Russell short leg puppies?
I'm a professional trainer in Houston and I've worked with 2 of your dogs. I love them- they're smart, beautiful and lots of drive. When I have the time and energy to devote to a Jack, it will be from your kennel.
Do you have any pups available at this time?
Do You Have Any Parson Jack Russell Pups?
I live just North of Houston. I am searching for a Parson's JR pup. Do you have any or know of anyone in the Houston area or anywhere that is within 4-5 hours?

This time I would like to share my most favorite vegan recipe which is an one pan Mexican dish made with lots of healthy quinoa seeds, beans and Avocado.
The reason why I think this is such a great dish is because it has a very rich and delicious taste, and at the same time it is packed with good nutrition. The dish is very filling and a super source of protein.
This Mexican quinoa dish is very easy to prepare and it only takes about 20 minutes of working time and then about 25 minutes of cooking time. Therefore, it is absolutely a dish which can be made even though you are late home from work or similar.
I have learned about this recipe from sister and her husband who are living as vegans. They have their own small online recipe collection, in danish, where they keep their favorite and primarily vegan recipes.
As said, it is quite easy to make this dish. In a sauce pan or large frying pan; you start by frying some chopped onion, garlic and chili. Then you add almost the rest of the ingredients; quinoa seeds, beans, some vegetable stock and spices. Then you let everything simmer for about 20 minutes. Finish off by adding a diced Avocado, some freshly squeezed lime juice and a handful of chopped cilantro. It is that simple to make this super healthy and very delicious dish.
1. Peel and chop the onion, garlic and chili.
2. In a sauce pan or large frying pan; heat up some oil and add the chopped onions, garlic and chili. Fry for about 1 minute.
3. Add the Quinoa seeds, vegetable stock, black beans, kidney beans, chopped tomatoes and cumin powder. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Heat it all up until the water starts to boil. Then add a lid and turn down the heat to a low temperature. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Before serving; add a diced avocado, lime juice and handful chopped cilantro. Mix it all and serve it.

The creator of Applanet has been sentenced to three years probation according to the Northern District Court of Georgia who recently passed down the sentence this week. For those unfamiliar, Applanet was an alternative market for downloading Android apps in the early years of the Android ecosystem. The store, along with two others - SnappzMarket and Appbucket, were shut down back in 2012 due to them being websites where Android users could acquire pirated content, which fell under copyright infringement and criminal copyright infringement and thus began a long path of court trials.
For Applanet creator Aaron Buckley the three years probation will be accompanied by one year of confinement to the home. This is a mild sentence compared to the ones given to the operators of the other two pirate app markets as they have been sentenced to years in prison for the operation of a pirated content site and distribution of said content to millions of users. This might seem like a lucky break for Buckley but the sentence is also a result of Buckley's lawyer suggesting he receive a downgraded sentence even though Buckley pleaded guilty to criminal copyright infringement, to which District Court Judge Timothy C. Batten agreed.
Buckley's sentence was passed down on April 11 of 2018, and will include other requirements in accordance with the law to ensure that he is within the regulations set forth by the court. This includes 20 hours of community service and Buckley will need to work towards acquiring his GED. Buckley says he respects the government and the court's decision in regards to the sentencing and that he is grateful for the chance to contribute to society in a "more meaningful way." Though the suggestion was put forth by Buckley's lawyer to get some leniency on the sentencing, a big part of the consideration from Batten weighed on circumstances of Buckley's home life, which was reportedly tough, as well as Buckley's commitment to community work in the years since Applanet was shut down.

Do you find yourself constantly exceeding your monthly mobile data allowance? With everything being online and your mobile always being in your hand it isn’t difficult, especially if you’ve got the new iPhone X or 8.
Luckily, there are a few things you can do to reduce the amount of mobile data you are using, without disrupting your usual mobile usage too much.
You can see just how much data each app has used by simply going to your Settings > Mobile Data > and scroll down to the ‘Mobile Data’ section. Here you will see how much data each of your apps has used.
As you will have seen from looking at your data usage, social media apps use a lot of data. All those photos and videos you are scanning through use a great deal of data.
Of course you don’t want to stop using social media apps but there are ways you can reduce the amount of data they use.
Facebook – Go to the Facebook app > Settings > Media and contacts > Videos and Photos > Auto-play. Make sure the autoplay option is switched to “On Wi-Fi Connections Only” or “Never Auto-play Videos”.
Twitter – Go to the Twitter app > Settings and Privacy > Data usage. Here you can switch off image previews and autoplay completely, or to when connected to Wi-Fi only.
Instagram – Go to the Instagram app > Settings > Mobile Data Use > turn on “Use Less Data”. It will take photos and videos longer to load but it will also cut down on data usage significantly if you are an active user.
Wi-Fi assist will automatically switch to using mobile data if your Wi-Fi connectivity is poor. This can really drain your data, especially if your Wi-Fi signal is poor at home because you may not even realise you’ve switched to mobile data.
Switch it off by going to Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist (at the bottom of the page) and deactivate it.
Below the Wi-Fi Assist it will tell you how much data you have used. If it’s a lot, definitely switch it off.
A lot of your apps will be working in the background, for example it will constantly be automatically refreshing your Facebook newsfeed even if you aren’t view it. This isn’t always needed, and it might be worth switching them all off.
You can do this by going to Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Here you can either switch it to only refresh when you are connected to Wi-Fi or off completely. Or you can switch off Background App Refresh on the individual apps.

How about renaming Birmingham Airport after bat-chomping reality star Ozzy Osbourne?
If we can have a museum devoted to ABBA, the idea of an airport named after the Black Sabbath frontman doesn’t immediately have to be chucked in the “bad idea” bin.
Shops at Birmingham Airport will have to start stocking bats if one man’s “masterstroke” to boost Brum’s heritage is taken up.
For while Liverpool has John Lennon Airport and New York JFK, the record company boss who discovered Black Sabbath is calling for Birmingham Airport to be named after Sabbath front man Ozzy Osbourne.
The call from Jim Simpson, boss of Big Bear Music, comes after plans for a Black Sabbath Day in the city were apparently shelved.

Home » Internet Safety » Can Oversharing on Social Media Welcome a Thief?
Looking through most social media feeds, we’re bombarded with posts from “friends” showing off the latest vacation. We also see “check-in’s” where the poster will check- in at various locations.
The danger with posting current pictures or “checking-in” can be a perfect formula for theft. When a status on social media is made, if the correct safety controls aren’t in place, those who are allowed to view your account can see EXACTLY where you are, and sometimes, even complete strangers.
Especially if you post while away from home, letting everyone know you aren’t home.
Summer is upon us and that means loads of vacations. Take a few minutes to protect yourself online before you leave home.
Check all forms of social media and make sure your privacy settings are lock tight.
Post pictures on social media when you get home- not while you’re away. Plus, if you’re on vacation its ok to put your devices down! It’s your time away!
If you’re planning to head out of town for awhile, it may be a good idea to shut down your social media account while away. That way you aren’t tempted to share everything, including where you are.
And just some common sense- have a good friend or family member check on your place occupationally while you’re away. Have them bring in any newspapers, mail, and packages into the house so it appears someone is home.
Going away from home can be a great time, and you deserve it. Using some extra precautions and safeguards while you’re away can make coming home a great time as well.

^&^^ Exactly. This is a slightly more professional site and we like to post about things that are more concrete or have been officially announced or aren't quite as much click bait.
At least there will be balance in Virginia with one Intamin launch removed and one put in!

Now if they could get a handle and some balance on the rampant racism in their state government.
Nope. And we would appreciate you not spamming links to click-bait "made up" stories until something real actually gets announced.
Is the park pretty crowded on the first weekend of the food and wine festival? Will Le Scoot be open this time of year?
This will probably be our last trip to BGW for quite a while and it's one of our favorites. It's our fourth visit in the past few years, but we've never been during an event. Will we benefit from getting Quick Queue, or are we talking a complete waste of money? Our max wait time before purchasing fast passes is usually 15-20 minutes.
So freakin stoked for this ride.
I am too because they're awesome rides. I honestly never expected them to sell another one of these after the Skyhawk incident.
These are all fun rides, and the setting is going to make this one spectacular.
And I'm also definitely not biased at all, being a Finnegan on my mother's side.

I like Screamin' Swings--one of the few flat rides I enjoy.
I'm also happy that they're painting Apollo's Chariot.
From the BGW president's Twitter.
Ooooh, look at that purple pop! Looking good!

Description: A small roman bronze applique of a woman or a goddess wearing a finely detailed peplos. Her eyes are incised with pupils and her hair is tied back in a low bun, following the fashion set under the Severan dynasty (193–235 AD) when hairstyles were restrained. This applique was mounted on a piece of furniture or a jewellery box.
Condition: Very fine, intact, deep patina over all surfaces. Traces of iron on the back from being mounted.

Will Ramses was one of the more well-known students at the Knights Academy, for excellence in academics and in the field, and for his natural charisma. Teachers and administrators both sang his praises. But when Nazarus left the academy, Will changed completely.
Nazarus had been his closest friend despite their difference in ages. Will looked up to him, and even though their relationship was also one of teacher and student, they interacted as equals. In the four years since Nazarus's betrayal, Will has become distant, burying himself in his work. His single-minded determination now is to face off against his former mentor, and put an end to his sinister ambitions.
Will has an intuitive understanding of firearms. He has incredible accuracy as a marksman, can assemble practically any type of gun from parts on the fly, disassemble one instantly in close-combat, or retool them in innovative ways. He has been given the nickname "One-Man Arsenal".

Production of bio-based acetate is commonly hindered by the high costs of the downstream processing. In this paper, a model is developed to describe a new method that recovers acetate salts using anion exchange resins, and subsequently desorbs and upgrades them using CO2-expanded alcohol. The model consists of equilibrium parameters for both the adsorption and desorption step. The calculated parameters are: for the adsorption KCl- Ac- =0.125, KCl- HCO3 - =0.206 and KOV,HAc=0.674[Formula presented], and for the desorption pKMeCO3 - Ac- =3.71. The maximum experimental concentration of acetic acid obtained in CO2-expanded methanol is 0.427 mol/kg (20 g/LMeOH) at an operating pressure of 31 bar. The model represents the expected trends for all species, and can be used to design a multicolumn system for the recovery and upgrading of carboxylates.

From Friday to Sunday, middle- and upper-class neighborhoods in the Peruvian capital, which has a population 7.6 million, empty out as residents head to the blossoming string of coastal developments that surround the satellite city of Asia and its shopping boulevard.
As Peru’s economy continues to build on more than a decade of continuous growth, the construction of second homes to the south of Lima has exploded. The shopping area at Kilometer 97.5 opened in 2003 with dozens of stores and seasonal versions of many of the restaurants and clubs frequented by Lima’s wealthy.
Revolutions Peru is a property development company involved in numerous projects south of Lima, including Las Terrazas, a 96-home community attached to Vista Pacifico, a $35 million Best Western Premier Resort Hotel expected to open in January 2013.
Residents of Lima, whose municipal beaches are crowded and heavily polluted, are snapping up coastal property everywhere from Kilometer 27 to Kilometer 150.
She said some owners who bought lots for $60,000 early in the development’s history, and then built houses for about $120,000, can now sell them for as much as $600,000. “Everyone wants to keep the value increasing,” Ms. Pinto said.
While the Asia district includes about 30 beach developments, from Kilometer 62 at Chilca to Kilometer 131 at Cerro Azul, it is centered on the shopping boulevard, where availability is limited.
Homes in top developments, which usually are built of stucco and glass, average $1,000 to $1,500 per square meter, or about 11 square feet. Prices range from $200,000 to $600,000 per house, although prices are increasingly surpassing $1 million. Many opt to rent out their purchases, as the returns can be substantial.
In 2011, Mr. Korch purchased a lot at San Antonio, where Club de Regattas, an organization based in Lima, is adding a residential segment to its members-only beach facility.
Apart from the exclusivity of the beach, it was the association rules, or lack thereof, that finally convinced him.
Most developments require every homeowner or renter to go through an intensive review process that many real estate agents liken to New York co-op boards. Some development boards have become known for their stringent rules, like not allowing household workers on beaches without uniforms, although many appreciate the regulations because they help maintain property values.
When summer ends, Asia becomes a ghost town. But the Peruvian government recently added eight holidays to create extended weekends and help promote travel. The Ministry of Trade and Tourism predicts that each new holiday will create an extra $100 million in national tourism.

Adam Smith argues that religious liberty tempers the nefarious effects of fanaticism and allows for rational moderation to prevail in religious societies.
The institutions for the instruction of people of all ages are chiefly those for religious instruction. This is a species of instruction of which the object is not so much to render the people good citizens in this world, as to prepare them for another and a better world in a life to come. The teachers of the doctrine which contains this instruction, in the same manner as other teachers, may either depend altogether for their subsistence upon the voluntary contributions of their hearers, or they may derive it from some other fund to which the law of their country may entitle them; such as a landed estate, a tithe or land-tax, an established salary or stipend. Their exertion, their zeal and industry, are likely to be much greater in the former situation than in the latter. In this respect the teachers of new religions have always had a considerable advantage in attacking those ancient and established systems of which the clergy, reposing themselves upon their benefices, had neglected to keep up the fervour of faith and devotion in the great body of the people, and having given themselves up to indolence, were become altogether incapable of making any vigorous exertion in defence even of their own establishment. The clergy of an established and well-endowed religion frequently become men of learning and elegance, who possess all the virtues of gentlemen, or which can recommend them to the esteem of gentlemen: but they are apt gradually to lose the qualities, both good and bad, which gave them authority and influence with the inferior ranks of people, and which had perhaps been the original causes of the success and establishment of their religion. Such a clergy, when attacked by a set of popular and bold, though perhaps stupid and ignorant enthusiasts, feel themselves as perfectly defenceless as the indolent, effeminate, and full-fed nations of the southern parts of Asia when they were invaded by the active, hardy, and hungry Tartars of the North. Such a clergy, upon such an emergency, have commonly no other resource than to call upon the civil magistrate to persecute, destroy or drive out their adversaries, as disturbers of the public peace. It was thus that the Roman catholic clergy called upon the civil magistrates to persecute the protestants, and the church of England to persecute the dissenters; and that in general every religious sect, when it has once enjoyed for a century or two the security of a legal establishment, has found itself incapable of making any vigorous defence against any new sect which chose to attack its doctrine or discipline. Upon such occasions the advantage in point of learning and good writing may sometimes be on the side of the established church. But the arts of popularity, all the arts of gaining proselytes, are constantly on the side of its adversaries. In England those arts have been long neglected by the well-endowed clergy of the established church, and are at present chiefly cultivated by the dissenters and by the methodists. The independent provisions, however, which in many places have been made for dissenting teachers by means of voluntary subscriptions, of trust rights, and other evasions of the law, seem very much to have abated the zeal and activity of those teachers. They have many of them become very learned, ingenious, and respectable men; but they have in general ceased to be very popular preachers. The methodists, without half the learning of the dissenters, are much more in vogue.
In the church of Rome, the industry and zeal of the inferior clergy are kept more alive by the powerful motive of self-interest than perhaps in any established protestant church. The parochial clergy derive, many of them, a very considerable part of their subsistence from the voluntary oblations of the people; a source of revenue which confession gives them many opportunities of improving. The mendicant orders derive their whole subsistence from such oblations. It is with them as with the hussars and light infantry of some armies; no plunder, no pay. The parochial clergy are like those teachers whose reward depends partly upon their salary, and partly upon the fees or honoraries which they get from their pupils, and these must always depend more or less upon their industry and reputation. The mendicant orders are like those teachers whose subsistence depends altogether upon the industry. They are obliged, therefore, to use every art which can animate the devotion of the common people. The establishment of the two great mendicant orders of St. Dominic and St. Francis, it is observed by Machiavel, revived, in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the languishing faith and devotion of the catholic Church. In Roman catholic countries the spirit of devotion is supported altogether by the monks and by the poorer parochial clergy. The great dignitaries of the church, with all the accomplishments of gentlemen and men of the world, and sometimes with those of men of learning, are careful enough to maintain the necessary discipline over their inferiors, but seldom give themselves any trouble about the instruction of the people.
Most of the arts and professions in a state, [says by far the most illustrious philosopher and historian of the present age,] are of such a nature that, while they promote the interests of the society, they are also useful or agreeable to some individuals; and in that case, the constant rule of the magistrate, except perhaps on the first introduction of any art, is to leave the profession to itself, and trust its encouragement to the individuals who reap the benefit of it. The artizans, finding their profits to rise by the favour of their customers, increase as much as possible their skill and industry; and as matters are not disturbed by any injudicious tampering, the commodity is always sure to be at all times nearly proportioned to the demand.
But there are also some callings, which, though useful and even necessary in a state, bring no advantage or pleasure to any individual, and the supreme power is obliged to alter its conduct with regard to the retainers of those professions. It must give them public encouragement in order to their subsistence, and it must provide against that negligence to which they will naturally be subject, either by annexing particular honours to the profession, by establishing a long subordination of ranks and a strict dependence, or by some other expedient. The persons employed in the finances, fleets, and magistracy, are instances of this order of men.
It may naturally be thought, at first sight, that the ecclesiastics belong to the first class, and that their encouragement, as well as that of lawyers and physicians, may safely be entrusted to the liberality of individuals, who are attached to their doctrines, and who find benefit or consolation from their spiritual ministry and assistance. Their industry and vigilance will, no doubt, be whetted by such an additional motive; and their skill in the profession, as well as their address in governing the minds of the people, must receive daily increase from their increasing practice, study, and attention.
But if we consider the matter more closely, we shall find that this interested diligence of the clergy is what every wise legislator will study to prevent; because in every religion except the true it is highly pernicious, and it has even a natural tendency to pervert the true, by infusing into it a strong mixture of superstition, folly, and delusion. Each ghostly practitioner, in order to render himself more precious and sacred in the eyes of his retainers, will inspire them with the most violent abhorrence of all other sects, and continually endeavour, by some novelty, to excite the languid devotion of his audience. No regard will be paid to truth, morals, or decency in the doctrines inculcated. Every tenet will be adopted that best suits the disorderly affections of the human frame. Customers will be drawn to each conventicle by new industry and address in practising on the passions and credulity of the populace. And in the end, the civil magistrate will find that he has dearly paid for his pretended frugality, in saving a fixed establishment for the priests; and that in reality the most decent and advantageous composition which he can make with the spiritual guides, is to bribe their indolence by assigning stated salaries to their profession, and rendering it superfluous for them to be farther active than merely to prevent their flock from straying in quest of new pastures. And in this manner ecclesiastical establishments, though commonly they arose at first from religious views, prove in the end advantageous to the political interests of society.
But whatever may have been the good or bad effects of the independent provision of the clergy, it has, perhaps, been very seldom bestowed upon them from any view to those effects. Times of violent religious controversy have generally been times of equally violent political faction. Upon such occasions, each political party has either found it, or imagined it, for its interest to league itself with some one or other of the contending religious sects. But this could be done only by adopting, or at least by favouring, the tenets of that particular sect. The sect which had the good fortune to be leagued with the conquering party necessarily shared in the victory of its ally, by whose favour and protection it was soon enabled in some degree to silence and subdue all its adversaries. Those adversaries had generally leagued themselves with the enemies of the conquering party, and were therefore the enemies of that party. The clergy of this particular sect having thus become complete masters of the field, and their influence and authority with the great body of the people being in its highest vigour, they were powerful enough to over-awe the chiefs and leaders of their own party, and to oblige the civil magistrate to respect their opinions and inclinations. Their first demand was generally that he should silence and subdue an their adversaries: and their second, that he should bestow an independent provision on themselves. As they had generally contributed a good deal to the victory, it seemed not unreasonable that they should have some share in the spoil. They were weary, besides, of humouring the people, and of depending upon their caprice for a subsistence. In making this demand, therefore, they consulted their own ease and comfort, without troubling themselves about the effect which it might have in future times upon the influence and authority of their order. The civil magistrate, who could comply with this demand only by giving them something which he would have chosen much rather to take, or to keep to himself, was seldom very forward to grant it. Necessity, however, always forced him to submit at last, though frequently not till after many delays, evasions, and affected excuses.
But if politics had never called in the aid of religion, had the conquering party never adopted the tenets of one sect more than those of another when it had gained the victory, it would probably have dealt equally and impartially with all the different sects, and have allowed every man to choose his own priest and his own religion as he thought proper. There would in this case, no doubt have been a great multitude of religious sects. Almost every different congregation might probably have made a little sect by itself, or have entertained some peculiar tenets of its own. Each teacher would no doubt have felt himself under the necessity of making the utmost exertion and of using every art both to preserve and to increase the number of his disciples. But as every other teacher would have felt himself under the same necessity, the success of no one teacher, or sect of teachers, could have been very great. The interested and active zeal of religious teachers can be dangerous and troublesome only where there is either but one sect tolerated in the society, or where the whole of a large society is divided into two or three great sects; the teachers of each acting by concert, and under a regular discipline and subordination. But that zeal must be altogether innocent where the society is divided into two or three hundred, or perhaps into as many thousand small sects, of which no one could be considerable enough to disturb the public tranquility. The teachers of each sect, seeing themselves surrounded on all sides with more adversaries than friends, would be obliged to learn that candour and moderation which is so seldom to be found among the teachers of those great sects whose tenets, being supported by the civil magistrate, are held in veneration by almost all the inhabitants of extensive kingdoms and empires, and who therefore see nothing round them but followers, disciples, and humble admirers. The teachers of each little sect, finding themselves almost alone, would be obliged to respect those of almost every other sect, and the concessions which they would mutually find it both convenient and agreeable to make to one another, might in time probably reduce the doctrine of the greater part of them to that pure and rational religion, free from every mixture of absurdity, imposture, or fanaticism, such as wise men have in all ages of the world wished to see established; but such as positive law has perhaps never yet established, and probably never will establish, in any country: because, with regard to religion, positive law always has been, and probably always will be, more or less influenced by popular superstition and enthusiasm. This plan of ecclesiastical government, or more properly of no ecclesiastical government, was what the sect called Independents, a sect no doubt of very wild enthusiasts, proposed to establish in England towards the end of the civil war. If it had been established, though of a very unphilosophical origin, it would probably by this time have been productive of the most philosophical good temper and moderation with regard to every sort of religious principle. It has been established in Pennsylvania, where, though the Quakers happen to be the most numerous, the law in reality favours no one sect more than another, and it is there said to have been productive of this philosophical good temper and moderation.
But though this equality of treatment should not be productive of this good temper and moderation in all, or even in the greater part of the religious sects of a particular country, yet provided those sects were sufficiently numerous, and each of them consequently too small to disturb the public tranquillity, the excessive zeal of each for its particular tenets could not well be productive of any very harmful effects, but, on the contrary, of several good ones: and if the government was perfectly decided both to let them all alone, and to oblige them all to let alone one another, there is little danger that they would not of their own accord subdivide themselves fast enough so as soon to become sufficiently numerous.
Adam Smith was a Scottish political philosopher and economist, considered one of the forefathers of classical economics and a pioneer of the study of political economy. Smith graduated from Balliol College at Oxford, and later served as the chair of moral philosophy at the University of Glasgow. He departed from his academic position after 12 years to tutor the Duke of Bucchleuch in Switzerland. His two major works, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, and The Theory of Moral Sentiments, were composed after he left the service of the Duke on a lifetime pension.
The former work, considered his magnum opus, is often referred to by its abridged title The Wealth of Nations. It was first published in 1776, the same year as the American Declaration of Independence, and is considered a foundational text in modern economic theory. It is noted for its influence on the American founding fathers James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, and upon the economic theories of Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, and Milton Friedman.
The latter work expressed Smith’s deep interest in moral philosophy, and expanded upon the philosophical, juridical and ethical framework of his earlier work. While known primarily as an economist today, Smith’s work and interests lay primarily in the fields of theology, jurisprudence, and moral philosophy.

As farmers busily work on the farm this time of year, National Farmers Union (NFU) hopes to raise awareness about farm safety issues and best practices through a series of 10 educational videos.
“Safety on the farm is so important” relates Donn Teske, president of the Kansas Farmers Union. “Farming continues to be one of the most dangerous occupations in America and anything we can do to raise awareness, and make one consider the consequences of an action, is worth the effort. These are excellent examples of mistakes that happen too often and how they might be avoided”.
“Well worth taking a little time to watch and share with others” he said.

to list construction, permitting, operating, monitoring and reporting requirements for specific types of wells.
The Railroad Commission's jurisdiction and responsibilities in petroleum regulation have increased steadily through the years. Today, its broad authority over oil and gas exploration and production is derived from the Texas Natural Resources Code and from Chapters 26, 27, and 29 of the Texas Water Code. The Commission has been active in the regulation of underground injection activities for more than fifty years. The first permit to inject water into a productive reservoir was issued in 1936.
coordination with EPA and other federal and state agencies in a concerted program to protect fresh water in Texas.
EPA approved the Commission's UIC program for Class II injection wells on April 23, 1982.
underground hydrocarbon storage wells (§91.201 et.seq., Natural Resources Code).
The Railroad Commission also regulates brine mining injection wells under Chapter 27 of the Texas Water Code. Brine mining injection operations produce brine by injecting fresh water, dissolving salt strata, and producing the brine, usually through the same well. This type of well is classified by EPA as a Class III injection well, or one which injects for the extraction of minerals. EPA approved the Commissons UIC program for these wells on February 26, 2004.

Astronomers from Princeton University has found that a Sun-like star lurking around 350 light-years away consumed the rocky equivalent of 15 Earths.
Though the research did not begin as a hunt for a planet-eater. Oh was analysing a catalog of new star data collected by the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft for pairs of stars with similar speeds and trajectories. Such duos are typically twin stars that formed close together from the same ingredients.

A great vegetarian dish for those who love anything hot and spicy.
Are you a big fan of spicy dishes? Do you like it spicy and healthy as well. Now this recipe is not only extremely delish and healthy but it is also so easy to prepare. It is just a matter of throwing everything in, simmering and stirring.
This is one of those really great choices when you have an afternoon get together with your friends and family at home. This is also perfect for those lazy days but you want to have something really good to eat. It also has this colorful look that makes it more appetizing to eat.
This is one of my favorite recipes as I love the spice coming out of it. It has that perfect blend that makes you want more. And even if you go for more, you won’t feel bad about it as it is all healthy veggies. I truly love having it with tacos or very crispy potato chips. My eldest son would usually have me save some as a dip for movie nights. But of course you can just have it as is. Either ways, it still tastes incredibly good.

This book sung to me, it was like the words floated from the pages and danced with the rhythm of my heartbeat. I struggled with “loving my hair for many years” and before I had my own daughters I made peace with my Creator for giving me hair as thick as lamb’s wool and as soft as cashmere. Laughing, I often find myself falling in love with my hair daily and I am so glad that I finally found a book that shares my own joy on a level that my girls can relate to.
A couple of weeks ago, I purchased several children’s books from Target. I wanted to get some books because with children that looked similar to my own. I felt horrible my children did not own books that had illustrations of children who looked similar to them. I personally believe it is important to see people with similar features and people from all over the world.
On a whim, I purchased several books for kids that looked interesting and diverse, but I fell in love with the book “I love my hair,” by Natasha Anatasia Tarpley. The illustrations are by E.B. Lewis. Even if this book did not have words, the pictures alone would capture a child’s attention. The words compliment the storyline perfectly, like bread and butter.
The book tells the story from a little girl’s perspective and like most black children, the little girl doesn’t like getting her hair done because it often hurts when her mother styles her hair. The examples of onomatopoeia (“Tap, Tap, Clicky-Clacky”) make the book come alive.
My daughters, and their friend love this book. When I read it to them for the first time. They asked me to,”Please read it again and again.” I was thrilled, my kids enjoyed the book and I enjoyed it as well.
Here is a Youtube video I found read by NicheFaulkner and her daughter.

and it's on our candy wrappers, paper plates and yes, sometimes we eat blue and white pasta!!!!! Obsessed? Nah, proud, appreciative, thankful, devoted and very glad to have experienced this during the time Joe was here! We attended the processional for Joe in our best blue and white out of respect for him, his family, our family and because it was the right thing to do. We received word that the service was over and cars were beginning to move. As we looked in that direction to confirm, Jeff noticed this very faint, but very awesome rainbow.
It is faint, just above and to the right of the trees, but it IS there and we, already emotional, shed a few more tears! A sign for sure that Heaven was Happy...Joe smiling down on us! (Insert tears here!) Then we saw the cars, those awesome blue buses carrying family members with Sue in the seat that Joe rode in for the last 60 years and Jay and family waving to us as they passed. We have NEVER experienced such quiet in this place. The hum of the media helicopters, noise from flashing vehicle lights and the snaps of cameras were all that could be heard. Such respect for a man and his family who have done so much. Listen for yourself.
so quiet and yes, I cried...Jeff told me to "Buck UP"...that didnt' work at all! We had our Peach Paterno ice cream....delicious, delicious, delicious...made at the Campus Creamery!
We paid our respects and left messages at the Sports Museum & just one more photo!
Yep! We're Penn State, Nittany Lion, Joe Paterno, Paterno Family fans! I will close with that and say that there will be more pictures from this day and days to come but...we'll be sharing some creativity too. Monday Madness will be here this week too...just a little late!
This is CHANGE....I am working to EMBRACE it! I may have to borrow some "FOCUS" to continue to move ahead!
Thanks for allowing me to share! Have an impact in all you do!
and refolded, repacked and RE-stored them. The tissue(it's that buffered, lignin, acid free tissue) does a great job preventing yellowing and the transfer of faded colors. It does need changed every so often in order for this to happen so it's good that the "change" is happening now. The family became interested too and it turned into a great time to remember people and events from our past. Hopefully their internal clocks will click in the future and they'll carry on these same events with their families.
in the creative seat again and now I am ready to get started on Random Creative Scrapple Doodle with Miss Stephanie!!! Can't wait to get rolling on that. If you haven't signed up yet...it's a MUST DO! So click this Link (<that word link) and read all about it and register! It promises to not only be creative but also inspiring with a great group of people too!
Out with the old....In with the New!!!!
To celebrate the new year I literally move alot of things OUT and replaced it with a new cleaner look....not necessarily new things! Specifically 4 garbage bags full of old! Great feeling I must say and I am looking forward to starting 2011 in a clean workspace that should make getting things finished alot easier! We can hope! Had to get the cleaning done today (the 30th) so the cooking can commence Friday for the New Year's Day dinner! Pretty pleased with the outcome...still lots to do but it's a start! Also have a few more layouts to share.
First...a 2 page layout using the December Sketch from Sweet Peach Crop Shop on one of the pages but not on the other. Notice this is 2003!!!! But it's done!!!!! Next up a close up of the Tea Time page and another layout using the same Sketch from the December Challenge done by Trish at Sketch Inspiration.
Last but not least some before and after pics of my mess... and a short video to ring out the old!
Tomorrow brings the end of 2010, lots of cooking, cleaning and preparing for New Year's Day dinner and...if all goes well...lots of creating in my cleaned up craft space! Happy New Year everyone!
Where DOES the time go???? Can it be that 13 days have passed since I posted last??? Oh my...and as my students remind me daily...today there's only 11 more days until Christmas!!!! and...NO, I am NOT ready! But I am as ready as I'm going to be and that's okay with me!
So sit back, relax, sip some coffee or...well, whatever you'd like to sip and I'll get you caught up!
this Willow Tree set and 2 others including this "Black Bear Nativity" -so cute I just had to have it!
FINALLY...it's only taken me 9 years...yes...9 years ago, 2001 I started these cards....found them in my "hoarding mess" and well, I can cross that project off my list...they are done and will be mailed out this holiday! I WILL GET my HOARD cleaned and organized! I WILL DO THIS!!!!! I think that brings me up to date..feeling very blessed and thankful for the little I have accomplished!
Hope you are enjoying the season and staying warm too! Stay tuned!
