Yesterday afternoon, a driver from the palace arrived with a large delivery of beautifully scented flowers accompanied by a letter to the trust’s chief executive, Miles Scott, conveying the Queen’s warmest good wishes to all staff, patients and voluntary groups at the hospital.
The flowers were used at a state banquet given by Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening and had enough bloom left in them to give pleasure to those working at and visiting the hospital.
Their colour and scent now fill the reception areas around the hospital and in the St George’s Charity office.

The Union between Sweden and Norway (Swedish: Svensk-norska unionen, Unionen mellan Sverige och Norge, Norwegian: Unionen mellom Norge og Sverige), officially the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway, comprised present-day Sweden and Norway between 1814 and 1905, when they were united under one monarch in a personal union.
Following the Treaty of Kiel and the declaration of Norwegian independence from their previous union with Denmark, a brief war with Sweden resulted in the Convention of Moss on 14 August and the subsequent Norwegian constitutional revision of 4 November 1814. On the same day, the Norwegian parliament elected Charles XIII of Sweden as King of Norway.
The events of 1814 resulted in a union of two sovereign states that had the same King, foreign policies and diplomatic representations. Each had its own independent laws, parliament, government, administration, church, army, and currency. However, the King mostly resided in Stockholm, Swedes were initially viceroys in Norway, and foreign policy was conducted by the king through the Swedish foreign ministry in Stockholm. Later in the 19th century, a union cabinet consisting of ministers from both countries was called to discuss matters of foreign policy.
On 7 July 1905, the union was unilaterally dissolved by the Norwegian parliament following the adoption of legislation to establish a separate Norwegian consular service, which was vetoed by king Oscar II. After negotiations in Karlstad, the peaceful dissolution of the union was formally recognized by Sweden on 26 October 1905. Prince Carl of Denmark was elected as the new King Haakon VII of Norway on 18 November and arrived in Christiania on 23 November.

The NRA Foundation is proud to support Louisiana State University’s Mobile Marksman Project, a system developed by the LSU Mechanical Engineering Capstone Design Program to help high-level quadriplegics to participate in the shooting sports. The nearly $2,200 grant funded the 2014 system, the team’s final design iteration.
Created in 2009, the Mobile Marksman Project is a manually-controlled shooting platform that allows handicapped hunters to aim and fire a mounted firearm with head-tracking software and a small tube that is activated with a puff of air.
Capstone Design Instructor Capt. Dave Giurintano and the Mobile Marksman team worked with high-level quadriplegics to address system requirements and create a lightweight, portable system that is simple to use and enjoy. Recent additions include recoil-absorbing legs and a rail-mounted camera that displays the crosshairs and target on a high-resolution digital screen.
“It has been our profound pleasure to have a hand in working on it, to extend the hunting and shooting experience to everyone, regardless of physical disability,” said Garen Armbruster, Mobile Marksman Team Leader.
Established in 1990, The NRA Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that raises tax-deductible contributions in support of a wide range of firearm-related public interest activities of the National Rifle Association of America and other organizations. These activities are designed to promote firearm and hunting safety, to enhance marksmanship skills, and to educate the general public about firearms.

At AccurateShooter.com, we do love ultra-accurate rifles that can shoot quarter-MOA (and better) on a good day. It’s nice to own a state-of-the-art rig built with a custom action and premium hand-lapped barrel, fitted with high-end optics. Quality is its own reward.
On the other hand, a truly utilitarian firearm has its own practical appeal. And perhaps no rifle is more utilitarian than a take-down .22 LR Ruger. Easy to store and carry, a take-down 10/22 makes a perfect “truck gun” for a ranch or farm. A 10/22 is also great for plinking with young family members, blasting pesky rodents, and doing general duty around your property. You can even use a take-down 10/22 in the CMP’s rimfire sporter matches.
Considering the merits of a take-down rimfire rifle, we were pleased to see that Davidson’s is now offering a Ruger 10/22 Takedown kit, with a special fitted NRA-branded Cordura soft case. The NRA logo and block letters are on the bolt-face, and the rifle comes with a natural gear camo finish. Street price is about $390.00, including the Cordura case.
The rifle comes with a Coyote Tan Cordura case, high-viz sights, a scope base adapter, and a drilled & tapped receiver. Separating the two halves of the rifle is easy. First lock the bolt back and verify the rifle is unloaded. Then push a recessed lever, rotate the sub-assemblies, and pull them apart. That’s it. The take-down locking system allows for a secure connection of the barrel and action and returns the firearm to zero, even when receiver-mounted optics are used.
For each rifle sold, both Davidson’s and Ruger contribute $10 to the NRA Institute for Legislative Action. So — if you purchase this package, you’ll be helping the effort to defend our Second Amendment rights. This exclusive NRA 10/22 Special Edition is available now at Davidson’s dealers nationwide and GalleryofGuns.com.

We set up a time-lapse to capture some of Ali's super fast typing.
After some negotiation we managed to get a camera set-up across the street from Grind. We set the time-lapse to go overnight.
We love when it's just a timelapse day. Not so much equipment to carry.

It's so hot outside that I am freezing.
Then I felt the heat. And the humidity. And I said, "Carry on!" And then I thought better of it and had them come inside. The thermometer outside our kitchen window is currently reading 101 and it's mostly in the shade at the moment. They were delighted to come in the house. While being wet held it's attractions for a moment, the resulting humidity was just too much. I even had the dog - the outside dog that refuses to acknowledge he's an outside dog - come inside. I didn't have the heart to leave him out there. Although, if he does his business in my house one more time, then his day of luxuriously roaming and chewing the chickadees' toys will be short lived. I'm just sayin'.
Contrast that to my present state of dress. I am in long sleeves, yoga pants (shut up) and fuzzy, bulky socks. I am freezing. Our thermostat reads 74. I am considering notching it up a few degrees. Though, I do believe my chickadees would revolt.
I am so thankful for air conditioning. It makes days like these bearable. I am so thankful for long sleeves and socks. It makes days like these bearable.

It’s a vacation, where you don’t lay off your physical training.
I just got back from Greece, where I spent 4 nights in the great city of Athens and 7 wonderful nights on the idyllic island of Ikaria.
Of course I used the time to disconnect and relax. But movement and training is such an important part of my life, so I looked for opportunities to train almost daily.
When training on holidays, I tend not to work on conditioning. I work on my strength, practice natural movement, and indulge in some good old-fashioned calisthenics. In short, I do stuff I enjoy.
And yes, I also just relax!
I’ve already written about the nature of Ikaria and its people (it’s a location where people are noted for their exceptional longevity), so this post is mostly a short recap of my trip. Highlights for me included attending a traditional “glendi” (a sort of party-celebration) in Athens with a live band and folkdancing, going to a panigiri (festival) in the village of Monodenri, Ikaria, getting in some good hikes on the island, and connecting with some of the locals.
Finally, here’s a short video (under 5 minutes watch time) I did on my hike up to a traditional mountain house. Have a look!
Keeping active when you’re on a trip, is one of the best things you can do. Long plane rides, time-changes and other stressors can take their toll, but getting in some quality movement and exercise every day will make you feel incredible. Just get out and move!

it renders the 3 basic views i.e ios, android, and windows. There are two input boxes one is for username and 2nd is for the password. Whenever I click on the input box in the android view the whole division shifts up.
What might be the issue.

He also quickly spotted several men and women in the windows of nearby buildings. The way they kept looking around at the streets below identified them as more than casual observers. These sentries were more trouble for Blacknail than the patrols were. The hobgoblin was sneaky, but he wasn’t invisible.
Monster under the bed, huh?
Remember Children, always make sure the Monster is under the bed. Then you at least know where it is.
Good chapter. I like Blacknail’s discovery of painting, locks and continuing fondness for shinies.
Never noticed it before but I cant see the small letter “I” (like Ink), only when it is written in caps in the comments. Any idea what causes this?
If he walks up to one, assuming he is examining the one he walked up to and not one meters away, you porbably want to define it as ‘it’.
I don’t know why you felt strongly enough about this to comment, either way is fine, this “correction” isn’t any better or worse than the original.
Hello, I am new commenting here, but I have followed the series up to date.
I just can’t containt myself and need to ask this of other followers of this story: Have you played Styx, Master of Shadows or Styx Shards of Darkness?
It’s a stealth game in which the main character is a goblin, and seeing BN do his things in this ark, I just get visuals from that game (which is a good thing, as far as I am concerned]. So… did you?
ive seen lets plays of Of orcs and men that’s about it.
Of Orcs and Men is a RPG, whereas Styx Master of Shadows is a stealth game, which takes place before the action in OOAM. I bring it up because I greatly enjoyed those games and the way Blacknail acts in this arc in Daggerpoint reminds me of that game (all of his sneaking around, stealing stuff and other thigngs he does) . There is a video of movie cutscenes available for the game on Youtube, which I greatly enjoyed and I like to get people hooked up on the things I like. So, maybe, give it a try! The worldbuild is different from this story, I do not mean to imply any relationship, but I think people who like this story might also enjoy the cutscenes movie on youtube. For people who are unaware, of it, the protagonist is a goblin who sneaks, steals and sometimes assassinates his way in a human city towards his personal goal. So have fun with it if it is your cup of tea, while waiting for the new awsome installment of this story.
Yes, he beat the human lock at last!

Alternative media ... truth movement ... citizen journalists ... sounds good? Well ... we'll see about that. In this two part analysis we lay out what seems to be the true nature of alt media as a new form of propaganda - a veritable self-propaganda - ripe for internet age. The specimen we focus on are pro-regime pro-Syria activists and intellectuals and their understanding of reality as exemplified by their treatment of other historical events: in this case war in the aftermath of dissolution of Yugoslavia. We claim that the whole batch of alt media indicates to a rather sinister tendency - an attempt to erase the past; an attempt that, now that the means of virtualization are ready at hand, could just succeed.

Antiestrogen, any substance that blocks the synthesis or action of the hormone estrogen.
Estrogen can be both a beneficial and a harmful hormone. It maintains skeletal strength by preventing the loss of bone and enhancing calcium retention. However, estrogen causes the proliferation of cells in the breast and the uterus, which can increase a woman’s chance of developing cancer at these sites.
Selective estrogen-receptor modulators (SERMs), such as tamoxifen and raloxifene, produce estrogen action in those tissues (e.g., bone, brain, liver) where that action is beneficial and have either no effect or an antagonistic effect in tissues, such as the breast and uterus, where estrogen action may be harmful. Tamoxifen is used in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Raloxifene, used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis (the loss of bone mass) in postmenopausal women, also acts as an estrogen agonist in reducing total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Adverse effects of raloxifene include hot flashes, leg cramps, and increased risk of deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Antiestrogens are antagonists at all estrogen receptors. Clomiphene can be used as a fertility drug to stimulate ovulation in some women who are otherwise unable to become pregnant. It interferes with the inhibitory feedback of estrogens on the pituitary gland. This results in an increase in follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone release; these hormones in turn stimulate ovarian function.

The Elevator Pitch has gotten a new face a recognition through the Start-up evolution as The Pitch. The Pitch is front and center in all Start-up eco-systems: events, incubators, funding seeking ….
The Pitch had all the exposure it needs, however I don’t see that it has the reapect it deserves. The Pitch offers so many opportunities and yet isn’t taken serious enough for all it offers.
The Pitch helps retain funding, market research, sales, team building, branding…. Yet, so many hate doing it, don’t want to do it, fluff the experience by not putting the effort into it or short cutting it with just the necessities.
The Pitch is a short form business plan and can help you to focus on the importances of your business, product or service. It helps to deliver a concise, direct and clear bit of information about the What, How and Why of your Company, Product or Service. This is important – why ?
The more precise and concise you ate the more clear you can be and people need to know clearly what you have. You don’t want too many questions. You want people to understand and be inspired to buy.
Learn to prsent your Pitch with Pizzazz, Professionalism and Presence. Pizzazz -you must be enthusiastic about it, it you want to gain interest – be interested. Professionalism – know your stuff, prepare and kniw your audience. Presence – understanding body and verbal language (yours and theirs) to engage and direct audience or client.

Sandhill cranes with colts (chicks) feed in a wetland near the Hoback River. The area was severely threatened by planned industrial scale natural gas development and is now protected. A strong grassroots effort led to the purchase of the gas leases by Trust For Public Land, who retired them forever - giving the land back to the American people. The Rocky Mountain Population os sandhill cranes are Greater sandhills that migrate from winter range at Bosque Del Apache in New Mexico to Greater Yellowstone from spring through the end of summer, where they mate and raise their young. By September, these tiny colts are juveniles ready to fly 500 miles to New Mexico. Photo © copyright by Dave Showalter.

Chris woke me up at 3:30 this morning; the air raid sirens were going off. We got the dogs and huddled in the bathtub, and listened to the battery radio, until we could hear that they’d stopped, and the radio was saying it was miles past us.
That’s my car. I didn’t have time this morning to take pictures, so I got them at lunch, and a lot of the neighborhood is cleaned up… but you can still see some of the damage.
I love how bright and sunny everything is today, all fresh and clean… except, oops, that tree isn’t quite where it should be. We had gale-force winds; it doesn’t seem like we had tornadoes, just straight-line wind knocking things over.
A lot of houses look like this today – the City will pick up piles of brush later on, and it’ll all look normal. These are the lucky houses.
This is the worst one I saw. This is the same tree that smashed the car in the first picture. It hit the corner of the house it stood in front of, and was laying solidly atop the neighbor’s house – I have no idea what the damage is like, because you can’t see the house for all the tree in the way.
See? There’s a house under there. It was the most gorgeous, full-growth red oak, too – I’m gonna miss that tree.
This is the neighbor across the street from me; she lost about half of this big pecan tree.
The same tree, from the OMG, Scary Tree Monster view.
This kind of stuff is everywhere – mostly oak leaves, plus random bits of stick.
Our herb plants are a little smashed down, and we lost a couple of limbs the size of my arm… but nothing major at our house.
On an unrelated note, one of our neighbors is building a Sanford & Son style… shack? on the back of his truck. It looks like he saw an over-cab camper, and decided to replicate it out of bits of random scrap metal and wood. There’s a steel frame in parts of it, and it has a swinging metal screen door – this looks like a trailer you’d live in, rather than a hauling type thing.
Maybe some deep-seated instinct is telling him that he should have a mobile home.
love to you and Chris, and the dogs and your home!
Oh, good, so I wasn’t the only one. Whew.
I was thinking of grill wood. You can’t beat pecan-smoked turkey in the middle of summer.
Yikes. Glad you guys are okay.
Please, PLEASE don’t tempt me like this. I have enough on my plate as it is, without you tempting me with wonderful pecan wood.
Meep! I am glad you&yours are all ok though!
Wow! That is quite a storm!
That is quite a storm!! I love witnessing those kind.
Glad you came thru it all in good shape. But yes, after storms like this, I always miss the trees!
That one was one of THOSE trees, ya know? Like, I never knew the people who lived in that house, but I smiled every time I saw this great spreading oak. It’s so weird to see it laid over on the houses like a tossed-aside child’s toy.
Yikes! Glad you guys are OK.
They’re really… characters. I wanted to get a picture of the front of the truck, which has “TINMAN” worked on it between two bald eagles in a combination of piece-welding and spray-paint… but he was in the trailer working on it, so no photo of the grill for now!
Hi there! New girl…in your part of the world.
What part of town are you in? I slept through the whole thing last night.
Yeah, I hear you. Big spreading non-conifers are so rare and special here that when one of them goes down it just breaks my heart. There is a beautiful sugar maple in town that just draws my eye to the traffic-hazard point every fall.
I’m in Farmers Branch, which is between north Dallas and Carrollton, along 35. It’s one of those that used to be a sleepy little town a half-day buggy-ride from Dallas, but now it’s almost more of a suburb.
Right – I am in Richardson and we didn’t see nearly that level of damage.
I do love this time of year, though.
Nothing like that here in S. Arlington.
Those trees are just horrible…but now all you folks have me thinking of woodcut blocks!
We had erm, 40mph-ish winds here one night recently, and it was a really big deal for the city. No bath tubs involved tho.
But that amount of damage – wow!
I’m glad you and yours got through it ok.
Your name and avatar reminds me of a little story when I was a garden designer in Louisville: I was in a collectors garden, and there was this tall healthy plant with really strong striking foliage…It was very floriferous, and the flowers looked familiar, but somehow wrong…I asked te gardener what the plant was.
Eeeeeek! I am finally someplace where there is internet and I just saw this. So glad you and Chris are okay!
Mixed up icons? Complex Weavers prize!

It’s important to hire highly qualified and motivated employees, but recruiting is only the first step on the path of talent management. When it comes to effective teams, you’ll find that there’s “some assembly required.” Whether your team members are all in one building or working virtually in offices across the globe, you won’t get the true benefit of their abilities until you can get them working together smoothly and happily. Whether you are forming a new team or have an existing group that is struggling, your people will need creative and innovative team building strategies in order to become the kind of high-performance team that you expect them to be.
At Interglobe, we’ve been helping teams reach their maximum potential for over 15 years. In industries as varied as automotive, electronics, high-tech, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, plastics, software development and telecommunications, our clients appreciate the customized approach we take to their particular problems and goals. Because we are used to working in multiple cultures and countries, we are able to easily address the unique challenges of multicultural and virtual teams. And, because follow-up work is designed into your team building program, you can be assured that you’ll get sustainable results when you work with Interglobe.
A team building program can take place as part of a team kick-off process when a new team is formed as a result of a re-organization or to address a new business need. However, we also frequently work with existing teams with issues that have been simmering for a while. Any time you have a group of people who need to improve output and/or increase team spirit, we can help.
Before your program begins, we will conduct in-depth needs assessment interviews with each participant as well as sponsors and other stakeholders. This helps the facilitator(s) identify team strengths and challenges as well as expected outcomes.
Whenever possible, our team building programs are co-facilitated by two trainers in order to model the effective team behavior that your employees are striving to achieve. The trainer team will consist of two bicultural, bilingual, experienced team facilitators who offer two diverse but complimentary perspectives and approaches. The role of the facilitators is to give the team process the necessary space to unfold in productive and sometimes spontaneous ways, yet to keep the team on track with regard to the workshop objectives.
Because not everyone has the same learning style, all of our programs contain a variety of learning methodologies, including short lectures, partner and small group activities, critical incidents, simulations, problem-solving exercises, as well as creativity exercises and physical and mental energizers – in the classroom and outside.
Our facilitators strive to create an inspiring and synergy-enhancing working environment in which differences can be openly addressed and handled. However, we strongly believe in an appreciative approach where the focus lies less on problems and challenges but rather, first and foremost, on team strengths and on what is working well.
The theoretical foundations of Interglobe’s team building programs include Whole Systems Design, Appreciative Inquiry (David Cooperrider), Thresholds of Collective Wisdom (Angeles Arrien) and Personal Leadership (Sheila Ramsay, Barbara Schaetti and Gordon Watanabe).
Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the team.
Address team stumbling blocks and work collaboratively toward solving the issues.
Establish clear and concise team communication norms.
Identify sustainable team values, mission and vision.
Clarify team roles and responsibilities.
Develop team spirit and a collaborative attitude.
Create personal and team action plans, and decide on next steps.
Secure commitment to action plans and regular check-ups on team process and progress.

Kremlin Supporters Pressure Russian Election Observers Before Vote - Integration Through Media ....!
(VOA): Police last month detained David Kankiya, an observer at Russia's forthcoming presidential election, yards from his home in southern Russia. Police said his car may have been used in a crime, according to Kankiya.
Hours later, Kankiya was charged with disobeying the police, something he denies, and jailed for five days by a court. Weeks later, his car tires were slashed with a knife, he said, and on Tuesday, pro-Kremlin journalists ambushed him.
“I have information that you have insulted the Russian people,” one of the journalists said, a video of the incident shows.
Days before Sunday's election, which polls show incumbent Vladimir Putin is on track to win comfortably, Golos, a non-governmental organization that monitors Russian elections, says it is under unprecedented pressure.
Its problems are part of what Kremlin critics say is a wider campaign by authorities to hinder or silence dissenting voices.
Opposition politician Boris Nemtsov was shot dead in 2015, while current opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been barred from running in Sunday's election over what he says is a trumped-up fraud conviction.
The Kremlin, which denies involvement in Nemtsov's murder, wants Putin's re-election to be viewed as legitimate and largely clean in the West so as not to further damage already poor relations. At home, wary of street protests, the Kremlin is keen that voters see it in the same way.
The Kremlin says complaints about a crackdown on dissent are hollow. Individual cases are a matter for the relevant authorities who it says are only trying to uphold the law.
Equally, the Central Election Commission says it will do everything it can to ensure Sunday's vote is free of fraud and has turned to Golos for advice on how to do that.
However, opposition leader Navalny, accused by Putin of being Washington's pick for president, has predicted the authorities will resort to widespread fraud to deliver a Putin landslide and has spoken of organizing post-election protests of the kind that roiled Russia after Putin's last election victory in 2012.
Golos says the authorities unfairly blamed it for those protests — some of the biggest since the Soviet collapse — because of its work publicizing what it said were serious election violations, something it plans to do again on Sunday.
Kankiya, a Golos coordinator in the Krasnodar Region, says that's why he was targeted.
A court in Krasnodar disagrees. It rejected his appeal against his arrest and jailing on Wednesday. Police say he was detained after he failed to produce identification during a routine check.
Election fraud has been a problem in Russia since the 1991 Soviet collapse. Abuses have often been highlighted by Golos, whose observers spend election day at polling stations and flag suspected cases of fraud to the authorities.
Founded in 2000, the year Putin won his first presidential term, Golos says its problems began when Putin returned to the presidency in 2012.
“After the 2012 election, their task was to destroy Golos,” Grigory Melkonyants, the movement's co-chairman said in an interview in his Moscow office, referring to the authorities.
Golos lost one of its main donors in 2012 when Moscow accused the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) of trying to influence politics and forced it to leave.
Soon, weighed down by the red tape that came with being designated a “foreign agent” and facing a funding squeeze, Golos was struggling to function. In July 2016, at the behest of the justice ministry, a court ordered Golos to close.
Today, Golos still operates after reconfiguring its structure in such a way that it is not classified as a legal entity.
A shoe-string operation run out of a pokey Moscow office staffed by about nine volunteers, it says it relies on private donations from inside Russia.
It has coordinators in almost half of Russia's voting regions, about 6,000 volunteers, and dozens of experts who train people how to observe elections.
Melkonyants says the movement on Sunday plans to field thousands of observers, run a telephone hot line for complaints, and chronicle reports of electoral abuses on a nationwide violations map on its website. It will deliver its verdict on how clean the election was on Monday.
But as election day draws near, pressure on Golos is intensifying. Its volunteers have complained of being systematically stopped for long periods when leaving or entering the country by border staff who tell them there's a note by their name that says they are linked to terrorism, Golos said.
REN TV, a Russian TV channel, on Monday broadcast what it billed as a special investigation into Golos and other groups.
The program depicted Golos as a shadowy Western-funded group that worked to discredit Russia in the eyes of the world.
Andrei Klimov, a senator who heads up a committee in the upper house of parliament to prevent interference in Russia's internal affairs, told the program such groups posed a threat. “They [Golos and other groups] will try to trigger protest,” said Klimov.
And on Thursday, Golos said the landlord of a hall in Moscow it had agreed to rent for a call center on election day had annulled the rental contract after being told by the police to back out of the contract or face problems.
Kankiya, the Golos coordinator in southern Russia, said he would continue his work regardless.

GM Creates $30 Billion – Like a Genie!
Goodwill in financial statements arises when a company is purchased for more than the fair value of the identifiable assets of the company. The difference between the purchase price and the sum of the fair value of the net assets is by definition the value of the "goodwill" of the purchased company. The acquiring company must recognize goodwill as an asset in its financial statements and present it as a separate line item on the balance sheet, according to the current purchase accounting method. In this sense, goodwill serves as the balancing sum that allows one firm to provide accounting information regarding its purchase of another firm for a price substantially different from its book value.
At face value most people can see the logic. A company like Coca Cola is worth more than just projected profits and assets like bottling plants. There's value in people saying "I'll have a Coke" – real value from the perspective of the customer. But trying to wrap quantitative accounting around subjective concepts then leads to lots of fun convolutions. Perhaps you could call it value from the perspective of accountants.
GM is doing just that, and Jonathan Weil at Bloomberg calls them on their distortions – and the difficulty it may create in the future.
It will be a long time before General Motors Co. can shake the stigma of being called Government Motors. Here’s another nickname for the bailed-out automaker: Goodwill Motors.
Sometimes the wackiest accounting results are the ones driven by the accounting rules themselves. Consider this: How could it be that one of GM’s most valuable assets, listed at $30.2 billion, is the intangible asset known as goodwill, when it’s been only a little more than a year since the company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection?
Now think about the impact of that supposed $30B in goodwill on the real and perceived value of the company.
By comparison, GM said its total equity was $23.9 billion. So without the goodwill, which isn’t saleable, the company’s equity would be negative. This is hardly a sign of robust financial strength.
GM listed its goodwill at zero a year earlier. It’s as if a $30.2 billion asset suddenly materialized out of thin air. In the upside-down world that is GM’s balance sheet, that’s exactly what happened.
Indeed, the company’s goodwill supposedly is worth more than its property, plant and equipment, which GM listed at $18.1 billion. Another twist: GM said its goodwill would have been worth less had its creditworthiness been better. Talk about a head- scratcher.
That last statement is what could create big problems in the future. Here's the brief summary of GM's calculation – go to the article to dive into more detail.
The company said it wouldn’t have registered any goodwill under fresh-start reporting if it had booked all its identifiable assets and liabilities at their fair market values. However, GM recorded some of its liabilities at amounts that exceeded fair value, primarily related to employee benefits. The company said the decision was in accordance with U.S. accounting standards on the subject. The difference between those liabilities’ carrying amounts and fair values gave rise to goodwill. The bigger the difference, the more goodwill GM booked. In other instances, GM said it recorded certain tax assets at less than their fair value, which also resulted in goodwill.
Ahhh… if only all of us could do that! So the danger?
Here’s where it gets really funky. If GM’s creditworthiness improves, this would reduce the difference between the liabilities’ fair values and carrying amounts. Put another way, GM said, the goodwill balance implied by that spread would decline. That could make GM’s goodwill vulnerable to writedowns in future periods, which would reduce earnings.
A similar effect would ensue on the asset side if GM’s long-term profit forecasts improved. Under that scenario, GM could recognize higher tax assets and bring their carrying amount closer to fair value, narrowing the spread between them.
So, to sum up, the stronger and more creditworthy GM becomes, the less its goodwill assets may be worth in the future. An intuitive outcome, this is not.
And not exactly the original intent of having goodwill on a balance sheet.
At this point, GM’s balance sheet remains loaded with fluff, as the goodwill illustrates. GM said its August deliveries were down 25 percent from a year earlier, so it’s not as if business is booming. Moreover, GM disclosed that it still has material weaknesses in its internal controls, which is a fancy way of saying it doesn’t have the necessary systems in place to ensure its financial reporting is accurate.
This being the political season, the Obama administration has made clear that it wants GM to complete the IPO this year, so the president can claim a policy success. It’s bad enough GM needed a taxpayer bailout. What would be worse is taking the company public again prematurely.
The real world conflicting with political expediency? Really?
The clueless helping “save” the clueless. Did you see the WSJ article today with this exchange that supposedly happened between President Obama and “car czar” Rattner?
“We wish we knew,” replied his advisers.
Apparently none of them thought to pick up a 20 year old copy of “The Machine That Changed the World”.
This is economics 101. Either the real value as determined by market demand will catch up to the price, or the price will decline to match the value. Which are you willing to put your money on?
Thank you for this information.!!!
I am a wealthy man. All I have is goodwill. And I have a lot of it.
It is precisely because of this sort of idiocy that I no longer practice as a CPA. And no, I’m not going to buy into the GM IPO later this year. I’ve already contributed quite enough to this mess with my tax dollars.
I give blood voluntarily, on occasion, and not too much. Wouldn’t want to run out, you know.
As the letter writer in today’s Wall Street Journal said so eloquently, “Mr. President, you can squeeze a lemon only so much.” Consider my lemons squeezed.

Moscow’s newest and first major park in nearly 60 years has now opened to the public. Located along the Moscow River and within proximity to UNESCO World Heritage Sites Red Square and the Kremlin, Zaryadye Park creates an ambitious modern design by combining the past and future simultaneously.
In 2013, the Moscow city government launched an international architectural competition to develop the site into a public park. Won by Diller Scofidio & Renfro (DS&R) using their ‘wild urbanism’ concept, the company combined the design of Moscow’s historic environment with nature. The park features Russia’s four diverse geographical biomes: forest, steppe, tundra, and wetlands. The park even includes an ice cave labyrinth and a ‘floating bridge’ that extends from the Moscow River and loops back to the park.
Barker Langham worked with Strelka Institute and the Moscow city government by serving as part of the jury committee, offering guidance and expert advice considering important factors of the site including the park’s historical and archaeological significance and its relationship with the neighbouring UNESCO World Heritage sites. Additionally, Barker Langham developed a business case and a functional programme design for the project.

Reader Aley writes, "I'm going to Europe this summer, I received some new clothes in advance especially for the season. Problem is, one of the items I received was a mid-thigh length khaki skirt (quite ladylike and not too short, rest assured). Normally I'm never stumped for unique outfits, but I have NO idea what I should wear it with! Any suggestions?"
Go for a French girl vibe with a classic striped boat neck top with chic red accents. If it's the weather is warm, go for a wedge; when it gets chilly, opt for closed-toe flats and throw a navy blazer on top.
Khaki doesn't have to be preppy--create some contrast with a flirty chiffon top, a studded clutch, and a great pair of pumps. A neutral palette keeps things subtle, and this look can easily go from day to night.
Then again, you can't really go wrong by treating the prep-school staple as just that. A chambray denim shirt, grosgrain belt, and comfortable riding boots will take you from lunch and shopping to an afternoon of museum-hopping.
Have a wonderful trip, Aley, and don't forget to send us a few photos of how cute you look in your many versions of khaki! What do you dolls think of these outfit suggestions? Do you have any to add? What do you wear your khaki with? Discuss!
Do you have a style problem that needs solving? Leave your query here or upload it to the STF contact form!

The Jungle Cruise attraction returned into service at the Magic Kingdom this past Memorial Day weekend with a few noticeable changes. The first thing you should notice while aboard is that most of the props and sets throughout the attraction have been repainted and repaired, all looking practically brand new. Besides the general maintenance, some of the audio-animatronics characters from the attraction are still missing or have been removed. The Tiger from the cave scene and Chief Nami (the man holding the two shrunken heads near the very end) were still missing from the attraction as of early Wendesday morning. WDW News Today will be sure to keep an eye on the attraction in the coming weeks, as it is believed that this was only the first phase of a larger refurbishment that thisclassic Magic Kingdom attraction will be receiving in the near future.

After launching to Mars in 2026, the Mars Sample Fetch Rover will retrieve Mars samples left by the Mars2020 rover. This NASA rover will leave 36 pen sized sample tubes on the Martian surface ready to be collected later.
The Sample Fetch Rover will pick up the sample tubes, carry them back and load them into a sample container within the waiting Mars Ascent Vehicle. The Mars Ascent Vehicle will then launch from the surface and put the sample container into orbit about Mars.
“Our goal was to develop a working framework that uses information from a variety of sensors and data sources to identify these potential violations of nuclear nonproliferation,” says Hamid Krim, co-author of a paper on the work, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University and director of the VISSTA Laboratory.
“Some of these data may be conventional, such as Geiger counter readings or multispectral data from satellite imagery. But many of these data sources may be nontraditional, such as social media posts. And these sources provide a wide variety of data that are not normally compatible, such as the text included on Twitter posts and the images posted on Flickr.
China has successfully launched two remote sensing satellites for its “allweather” ally Pakistan. The launch of the two satellites marks yet another space cooperation between China and Pakistan since the launch of PAKSAT-1R, a communication satellite, in August 2011.
The Russian space agency Roscosmos is planning to issue a manufacturing contract to the Research and Production Association of Machine-Building for a new remotesensing satellite worth $147 million.
Insitu, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company has announced it is approaching the theoretical limits of accuracy for photogrammetry through advancements in its High Accuracy Photogrammetry (HAP) capability.
In June, Insitu’s latest accuracy improvement prototype validated that its HAP onboard payload now is accurate to within five centimeters (cm) horizontally and 10cm vertically. This marked increase in accuracy is groundbreaking and now leads the industry inaccuracies that can be obtained without ground control from a fixedwing Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) traveling more than 100km (62.1 miles) per hour from higher than 1,000 ft.

Vandalism is a costly crime. The National Bureau of Justice reports that in the year 2000, vandalism accounted for $1.6 billion in damage to households alone. Those who are left to clean up the aftermath and deal with the trauma of property damage often are left wondering why their property became a target.
With a little insight into the psychology of vandalism — where it’s most likely to occur and why — building service contractors can help their customers both prevent property damage and recover quickly when it does occur.
Vandalism tends to be a crime mainly committed by juveniles. Dr. Jeffery Chase, a license clinical psychologist and psychology professor at Radford University in Radford, Va., says many times people, especially children and adolescents, will use vandalism to vent.
Chris Mitchell, owner and president of a Servpro franchise in Salt Lake City, specializes in vandalism clean-up and restoration. He has worked with everything from kids spray-painting walls, to thousands of dollars of property damage.
“Not too long ago, we had a … situation where the previous tenants had a had a husband/wife dispute. We cleaned up broken windows and a lot of paint,” he says.
Group graffiti While individuals tend to vandalize out of anger, groups generally do so for social reasons.
“There is that socialization quality of trying to fit in, be involved in the gang, and be accepted,” Chase says.
A lot of graffiti starts out as an introduction to gang activity, he explains. Most graffiti starts out small, and as vandals become better at creating graffiti, they will use a lot of space for their work and start networking with other graffiti artists. When that happens, vandals may start to compete with each other.
“[There is a lot of] one-upsmanship in artistic forms, where one person does his best work, and someone else comes along and does something else over it,” Chase says.
Barry Woods, president of Graffiti Control Systems in North Hollywood, Calif., says that the majority of his business is cleaning up repeated instances of “tagging” — defacing surfaces repeatedly with an identifiable mark unique to each vandal or gang.
Taggers are selective about the buildings they hit, Woods says. Older, unkempt buildings are usually prime targets.
“Two- and three-story buildings that are over 80 years old and not part of a business district — those are the ones likely to get hit,” he says. Usually, buildings in business districts are tough targets for taggers because they are in highly visible areas.
“It’s hard to hit a major building with a lot of people coming and going,” he adds.
Graffiti clean-up does not come without dangers. Woods says his crews have had their own vans tagged even stolen; crews have been held at gunpoint.
Responding quickly to graffiti is a key element of prevention. Quick and consistent clean-up often deters vandals from returning.
“The faster we get it off and the better job we do, the less likely it is to come back,” he says.
The psychological reason for this reduction is because of a shift in the vandals’ environment, Chase suggests.
A clean, graffiti-free building sends the message that vandalism is not appropriate in this environment, and people are much more likely to behave according to that message, Chase says.
Woods has gotten so good at immediate response that he’s had some of his contracts reduced. In many BSC jobs, that’s seen as a sign of poor performance, but in graffiti removal, that’s the ultimate goal.
Immediate response to graffiti may reduce repeated occurrences, but immediate response, in Woods’ case, tends to benefit the community as well. In fact, Woods says he receives comments and compliments from the community on a regular basis.

Its time for another season of the extremely popular Community Supported Art CSA Program. We get a lot of questions regarding what makes a good proposal, what are the jurors looking for and what should be included as work samples. In an effort to address these questions and to get better proposals, I thought it was a good time to repost and update a list of tips. While this list is specific to the CSA call, most of it applies to any open call process.
If you prefer a more personal session we are presenting an info session Thursday, December 22nd at the East Lake Library (2727 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN ) at 6pm. The session is free and hosted by Springboard for the Arts Andy Sturdevant and myself. (Scot Stulen from mnartists.org). No RSVP needed.
Based on the four CSA cycles we have organized, here are some tips and other advice for crafting your proposal. Each panel is different, but this tips should help you craft a more competitive proposal. For full information about the program and application visit the submission website.
1. Be clear and specific in your proposal. Do not submit a vague proposal or one which has several projects within it. Pick one, and explain it well. The jurors do not response well to multiple choice proposals.
2. Be clear with your language. This is not a contest awarding your writing sample…so simplify and make sure your ideas are coming across directly. A good proposal is written in language that non-artists can understand clearly.
3. Your proposal does not need to be a functional item or have anything to do with agriculture. While the idea for the program is based on a farm CSA model, the art work does NOT need to reference its roots. Likewise, preference is not given to any work that references food culture or agriculture.
4. Can you execute your proposal within the budget, time and scope outlined? Your work samples will be used to judge not only artistic merit, but your ability to reasonably execute your proposal. For example, if you are proposing to make 50 stained glass pieces and your proposal contains work samples of book art projects, the panel will question if you can pull it off a labor intensive project in another medium. Be realistic.
5. Be reasonable. A thousand dollars is a modest stipend. Be smart and creative in your proposal. Nobody is getting rich by making 50 pieces for $1000. However, this is an amazing marketing vehicle and opportunity to place your work in the hands of paying, eager collectors. View this as a prime marketing device and think of how you can grab a collectors attention and wet their appetite for more.
A. High perceived value: The shareholder feels they are getting an amazing piece for the price.
B. Representative: The proposal relates to the artists main body of work (the shareholder feels they are getting a small piece, which is representative of the artist’s overall work). This also works to your advantage as you are hoping to reach new patrons and sell the type of work you want to produce.
C. Access: The proposal offers access or insight into the artist’s creative process. This is where several of the performing arts proposals have succeeded.
D. Exclusivity: Ignore the word commercial in the description. Its confusing in this context. What we are referring to is some artists who produce multiples in a more production sense (for example a mass produced set of greeting cards). The jurors and shareholders have responded very well to pieces that are fine art objects, unique and not something that they can easily get at another venue. So a unique edition that is exclusive or in some other way unique.
7. Successful proposals consider use and/or presentation. For example, functional ceramics, 2-D work, small sculptures all are easily understandable as to how they will be displayed or find use for the shareholder. A piece that is more un-traditional can be a successful proposal, as long as its use is at least suggested. For example, a selected proposal from last cycle was a collaboration between a textile artist and a photographer to create a bolt of fabric with fruit and vegetable PLU stickers as the pattern. This unique proposal succeed because it was an interesting artwork it left in its raw format, but the artists also included instructions for sewing the fabric into several creations, thus creating a direction for further use. Basically, if you can’t think about how it would be displayed in your home or used as a functional piece it will be problematic for most shareholders. You want your piece to be the object they want to show all their friends.
8. Consider the presentation. Work does not need to be matted, framed or otherwise finished…and actually for the stipend it would a waste of time and money to do so. What you should consider is creative ways of presenting the pieces that may also function to protect the works. For example, a simple plastic or brown paper wrapper for prints, or foam padding around a ceramic piece with a hand tied bow. These details present well to the panel and also to the shareholder. Don’t confuse these with gimmicks, it’s still about the main work, but consideration of presentation is a part of the overall package.
9. Work Samples. The documentation portion of the proposal can be past work and does not need to be the actual offering. If you have an example of the piece…great, but if not other work samples are fine. A mockup is only needed if you think the proposal needs it and the description is not clear. This is primarily for artists proposing something very different from their regular work and the work samples are not clear. However, your work samples should support and illustrate your proposal and not confuse the jurors. For example, if the work samples are all watercolors and the proposal is to do ceramics that would not be a helpful presentation for the jurors.
10. In the end its about the work. Be creative and think about how you would feel if you received your proposed work as part of a share. Maximize the potential of the format, and don’t bite off more than you can handle.

When obtaining a house remodeling project, your kitchen sinks are something that should not be overlooked! Green Design Home Services emphasises to our clients the importance of selecting the right sinks for your home, because that can make a big difference. Continue reading to find out some of the tips we give our clients, and what WE think make up good sinks.
We first tell our clients to take a look at your kitchen space, or the kitchen that you are designing. After you analyze your space, think of what type of sinks would match best. Oftentimes, we see kitchens with sinks that either do not match, or are too small or too big, leaving homeowners feeling stressed out.
The first tip to selecting the best one is: thinking of the shape. How big do you want yours to be, and how big do you NEED it to be? Do you wash your dishes by hand, or do you use the dishwasher? Do you have a big family, who cook in the kitchen often? Or, do you live alone or with a roommate who don’t spend very much time at home? These are all important questions to ask yourself before making a decision. There are many different shapes of sinks, such as rectangular deep sinks, shallow low sinks, etc.
The second tip we can give you is to decide the quality of the sink. Of course, we always suggest going with the best quality sink, because it will last you much longer than one that is cheaper. Scratches, banging, dents, and stains can all happen within a sink, but having one with more protection can help support this and refrain it from happening as often.
The last tip we will provide you with is deciding how many sinks you need. Most people nowadays need more than one sink, either for cooking different things, or just for it’s look. Having two sinks can make it super convenient for you to feel more comfortable. Plus, when you have guests over for dinner you can stash away all the dirty dishes in the other sink, out of plain sight.
For a free consultation on house remodeling, give your specialists of Green Design Home Services a call!

The Arts Printing House is a unique creative phenomenon in Lithuania, a vibrant performing arts venue and a meeting place for artistic souls. Established in a former printing house dating back to 1585, nowadays it deals with performing arts layouts and linotypes- those that help develop a new understanding of creativity within modern society.
Located in the old town of Vilnius, the premises of the Arts Printing House had previously been used as a printing house for books and then converted into a communist party’s printing house “Tiesa” (“Pravda”, “The Truth”) for the main newspapers of the regime. After Lithuania gained independence in 1991, several performing arts NGOs as well as individual artists used the premises for independent arts projects. In 2002 the Arts Printing House was established and based on an agreement with the Municipality of Vilnius City it acquired the right to use the historical building. Since then hundreds of theatrical, contemporary dance, new circus, interdisciplinary and educational projects take place annually in the building.
While harbouring its unique history, at the same time the Arts Printing House strives to bring about change and becomes the first infrastructural complex for creative industries in Lithuania. It aims to foster creativity and support performing arts NGOs. In other words, our vision is to serve as a matrix-case, which collects different types of independent performing art projects into one place and allow them to share their artistic vision with the audience.
In November 2004 it joined one of the oldest European cultural organizations network, Trans Europe Halles (TEH), which unites cultural centres established in non-traditional, often post-industrial spaces. Over the years Arts Printing House has gained recognition and joined other major international networks such as Informal European Theatre Meeting (IETM), Res Artis , and Circostrada, has served as a venue for various international gatherings, festivals, projects.
Arts Printing House now is open for national and international residencies. Under one roof more than 10 national performing arts organizations have their homes, with offices and spaces for rehearsals and performing. As well as international artists and organizations are welcome to visit Vilnius as international residents of Arts Printing House.
Situated in the heart of Vilnius Old Town, the Arts Printing House strives to be a vehicle of changes in the performing arts scene. And changes happen – one can find dozens of events here every month, others will enjoy numerous new independent artistic bodies that got birth in this House.
For continuous support we are grateful to Vilnius City Municipality. Our projects are funded by Lithuanian Ministry of Culture and Culture Fund of the Republic of Lithuania.
Should you be interested in more information about Arts Printing House, feel free to contact us.

Help! I covered a Redi Shade with fabric but now the shade is too thick to use the clips that adjust the shade length. I already attached them to the window. What can I use so I can adjust them?
Maybe regular clothspins? You could always paint them first and put them on sideways instead of lengthwise.

For £24.99 you wouldn’t expect a football-management game to spank a donkey’s arse with a banjo. Not only does it spank said rear, but 00/01 leaves the mule braying in pain.
Should I buy Championship Manager 2000/2001?
Championship Manager 2000/2001 is a foray into world football of such encyclopaedic proportions that it’s guaranteed to leave John Motson adjusting his pants in over-excitement. CM 00/01 is not a major reworking of last year’s 99/00 version – because there wasn’t much that needed doing. What this update does offer is more of the same.
There are now ten extra leagues, including those based in Wales, Ireland, and Australia. You can also manage a team in each of the 26 leagues simultaneously – but if you do, don’t expect to see your loved ones again. Donning the sheepskin coat at just one club is challenge enough, because to be a successful gaffer, you have to be a master of tactics, psychology, finances and diplomacy.
CM 00/01 is as close as you’ll get to football management, bar taking up a seat in the dug-out. As well as extra leagues, there are now more than 50,000 players, coaches and managers – all researched with Gestapo-like thoroughness. A special Data Editor – available online from Feral Interactive – allows users to edit the database to keep it up-to-date. It’s now also possible to play random leagues peopled with computer-generated players.
The game’s comprehensiveness is beyond question, and 00/01’s improved Transfers functionality means you can scour any team anywhere for bargain buys. After hours of scouting, I was able to add to my squad at Wycombe Wanderers without the chairman running to the press with messages of “support”. For example, Wayne Dyer – a 22-year-old ex-Stevenage midfielder playing for Montserrat – was a snip at £25,000. Thing is, when his pay demands spiralled, I had to let him go. It’s this attention to detail that makes CM so involving.
Before a ball is even booted in anger, there’s the pre-season preparation to consider. Off the pitch, CM 00/01 is more controllable than ever, because you can now interact with the bootroom boys. To help with team selection, go to the physio, coach and assistant manager for up-to-the-minute reports on any player. You can also relieve your assistant of his reserve-squad duties, as well as promote reserve team players to the senior squad.
Player profiles are much more detailed, providing a breakdown of their skill at all aspects of the game, as well as ratings on how fit and happy they are. This is invaluable when making team and tactics decisions from game to game. If, for example, your opposition is playing with attacking wing backs, you can choose two wide men with big engines and an extra yard of space in their heads. Likewise, if the game looks like it’ll be a midfield tussle, then turn to the player profiles to shore-up your centre with a couple of piano carriers.
There’s no doubting that picking up pots is more difficult in CM 00/01 – unless you start with the top Premiership sides. It was only after much man-management, transfer wheeler-dealing and tactical tinkering that I managed to wring some results from my squad of journeymen and hungry youngsters. As if this isn’t tough enough, you also now face a baying media pack – including hacks from football Web sites. But watch your mouth – as one word out of place can mean headlines that irk fan and player alike. This is a nice touch. On the pitch, gameplay is better, with more-detailed match commentary. During crunch clashes, things can get really tense.
However, the game could do with a real-life Motty to replace the Stephen Hawkins drone of whichever Mac OS voice you have selected. There are other niggles, too. One is the PDF-only manual – which explains what everything does, but without saying where anything is. Because the interface is unintuitive, this will doom newcomers to hours of familiarization before donning the tracksuit. The delay between games is also frustrating, with screens of meaningless results keeping you from the action.

Abstract: The ability of plants to identify an optimal flowering time is critical for ensuring the production of viable seeds. The main environmental factors that influence the flowering time include the ambient temperature and day length. In wheat, the ability to assess the day length is controlled by photoperiod (Ppd) genes. Due to its allohexaploid nature, bread wheat carries the following three Ppd-1 genes: Ppd-A1, Ppd-B1 and Ppd-D1. While photoperiod (in)sensitivity controlled by Ppd-A1 and Ppd-D1 is mainly determined by sequence changes in the promoter region, the impact of the Ppd-B1 alleles on the heading time has been linked to changes in the copy numbers (and possibly their methylation status) and sequence changes in the promoter region. Here, we report that plants with the same number of Ppd-B1 copies may have different heading times. Differences were observed among F7 lines derived from crossing two spring hexaploid wheat varieties. Several lines carrying three copies of Ppd-B1 headed 16 days later than other plants in the population with the same number of gene copies. This effect was associated with changes in the gene expression level and methylation of the Ppd-B1 gene.

Time for Arsenal to forget Lemar and go for Mahrez?
French champions Monaco are preparing a £45m bid for Arsenal want-away striker Alexis Sanchez . The funds gained from that deal allow the Blaugrana to invest heavily in Neymar's replacement on the left flank, and 21-year-old Lemar would give them another young wide asset who possesses elite potential.
Hernandez was slated to start Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals . Hernandez is no longer the Cy Young-winning version of himself, though he does have a 3.10 ERA in his last five starts, and the Mariners will miss him. He recorded his 2,300th career strikeout on July 4 against the Kansas City Royals, becoming the 50th pitcher in major league history to reach the milestone.
Chelsea were 3-0 winners over Arsenal earlier in the preseason, thanks to two goals for Michy Batshuayi and a third from Willian . Arsenal beat league champions Chelsea in May's FA Cup Final , which set up this weekend's rematch at Wembey.
But I can't wait to climb back aboard the M1 and working with the team. But I was happy because I saw that all of Japanese staff were pushing a lot to try and improve and we improved in some areas. But very picky and it means having to take a very high concentration and remain at the highest level can adapt to any situation. But I feel good; in fact, I've felt great all weekend so far.
Sandoval , who won three World Series championships with the Giants , signed with the Boston Red Sox via free agency in November 2014. Prior to Friday's games, Goldschmidt's National League ranks were seventh in batting average, second in on-base plus slugging, tied for seventh in homers, tied for second in runs and tied for second in RBI.
Yes, the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing driver won NASCAR's 2016 race at the NY track , and his path to victory could still be fresh in his mind. Watkins Glen will receive $10 million to improve its downtown as one of 10 winners of New York Gov.
The Crusaders were helped significantly by a first-half red card to Lions flanker Kwagga Smith for a tackle in the air on Crusaders fullback David Havili , who was flipped over by the collision and landed dangerously on his neck and shoulder area.
The Clarets were leading 1-0 after the opening half, but clashes between rival fans in the stands saw the game called off. Mee pleaded with the fans to calm down alongside opponent Martin Harnik as Hannover , recently promoted to the Bundesliga , saw their fans forget about what had been unfolding on the pitch.
Monaco have already lost a host of players this summer including Bernardo Silva and Tiemoue Bakayoko. Lemar has been heavily linked with a move to The Emirates all summer as Arsene Wenger looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of next season.
The Italian was questioned at his press conference ahead of this Sunday's Community Shield clash against Arsenal on interest from the Catalans regarding Hazard . Manager: Antonio Conte left a huge impression on English football in his first season in west London, masterminding a charge to the title as the Blues brought the Premier League trophy back to Stamford Bridge for the second time in three years.

return organs that have settled in the midsection to their normal position -- and reduce inches from your midsection.
Most people will lose between 1/2" - 2" (1-5 cm) in height during their lifetime due to thinning discs. As a baby, your discs are 90% water. However, the water content in the discs decreases to 70% by age 70. An active inversion program can help maintain more of your original height.
As the body ages, internal organs (kidneys, stomach, intestines) begin to prolapse as a result of the constant downward force of gravity. "Middle-age spread" (that spare-tire around the waste), apart from weight gain, is due to the relocation of internal organs. Digestion and waste elimination problems are also common symptoms of organs going south. A regular program of inversion may help ease the strain on prolapsed organs or even help them resume their normal shape and place in the body.
Nearly every physical activity involves compression of the spine. The compressive effect of gravity is compounded by activities such as walking, running, weightlifting, gardening, skiing, biking, and golf, all of which can exact an incredible toll on the spine, discs, and back muscles.
Skeletal mis-alignments can occur at even the slightest provocation. Most often these mis-alignments are nominal and will readily correct themselves given the opportunity. Inversion with movement (such as side-to-side bends, back arches, and a partial sit-up or two) provides that opportunity.
One-sided activities can be particularly troublesome for two reasons: The body will tend to over compensate for the strong-side muscle groups, pulling the spine out of alignment; and one-sided activities usually involve rotation of the spine, often under incredible loads. Examples of these activities are golf, water skiing, tennis, bowling, racquetball, and baseball. Inversion after physical activity may help to realign the spine and keep athletes performing at higher levels for longer periods of time.
Still other physical activities tend to create tension in the muscles due to a contraction of the major muscle groups for long periods of time. Housework, gardening, bicycling, and rollerblading are examples of activities which tend to create a great deal of lower back strain. Anyone who is faced with weekend chores, or enjoys an occasional bike ride can receive a tremendous boost from daily inversion therapy.
Ligaments are the fibrous strips that hold your bones together. Ligaments are flexible but not very elastic, and can tear when they are stretched too much. Ligaments that are not moved regularly in the right way become stiff, inelastic, and more easily torn. Inversion can help strengthen your ligaments and may help prevent injury. The gentle reverse loading and movement that occurs while you invert strengthens ligaments and connective tissue, and helps to protect the athlete from serious injury.
Inversion helps to develop balance awareness, which occurs when the upper regions of the inner ear are stimulated. Skydivers, gymnasts, springboard divers, and scuba divers find that inversion therapy fine-tunes the body and inner ear to the inverted world. Inversion therapy has also been used to normalize the ear canal as a treatment for motion sickness.
A proper work-out includes elements of cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and stretching - combining to form the "triad of fitness".
Decompression aids in joint lubrication by altering the pressure and suction forces within the joint, helping to stimulate the synovial fluid that nourishes cartilage.
The restored moisture in the soft tissue promotes the longevity of joint performance.
Hydrated joints offer better cushioning.
Using a Teeter encourages realignment of the spine, which helps correct posture.
Don't wait until you're in pain - inversion can be preventative! To remain youthful, you take care of your skin and teeth, you work out for your heart and muscles... but what are you doing for your back and your joints? Like any other part of your body, proper maintenance can result in longer-lasting, more youthful function. Use the Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table for a balanced, more flexible body now and see the payoff as you age.
It's no secret that we lose height as we age. Height loss is partially due to thinning discs in the spine and spinal curvature. Discs lose their nutrients and their cushion, causing a compressed spine and shorter stature. Inversion helps restore nutrients to the discs and decompress the spine, which can help return lost height to the skeleton. More importantly, rejuvenated joints provide better flexibility and shock absorption.
Strong abdominals, internal and external obliques, and lower back muscles are vital for proper support of the torso. Inverted crunches or sit-ups on the tables and back extensions on the DEX are a challenging way to develop and define the core muscles.
Most training activities designed to build core strength must be performed with great technical accuracy or they can injure the back. Inverted exercises can target every core muscle without adding risky, compressive loads to the spine.
Inverted squats on the tables provide a unique leg workout, strengthening the hamstrings and quads while sculpting the glutes.
The process of building muscle occurs when muscle fibers are torn down and replaced with more and better cells. After a workout, thousands of destroyed cells need to be trucked away to make room for new growth. Inversion helps to increase lymph flow, which gets rid of the wastes more rapidly and allows the body to focus on building new muscle tissue.
Athletes prone to stiffness or muscle spasms after a workout can benefit from the lymphatic wash provided by inversion. Intense muscle activities cause a build up of large amounts of lactic acid and carbon dioxide, which results in sore muscles. The faster this waste is cleared, the faster the pain and stiffness disappear.
During a high-impact workout, your joints and especially discs will lose fluid, resulting in a temporary height loss of up to one-half to three-quarters of an inch! Inversion has been proven to increase intervertebral separation, which reduces the pressure on the discs and helps them to re-hydrate. Decompressed joints are able to recover faster for better shock absorption and reduced pain.
When inverting, you are helping your heart to clear the blood from your feet, legs, and lower body. This allows the blood in your limbs to circulate more easily, which may help to temporarily drain blood from varicose veins.

Yesterday in these (web) pages, Allen Barra asked why we—obviously not all of us, but a substantial number—hate the Miami Heat's LeBron James, who last night led his team to victory in the first game of the NBA Finals. Barra offered several unpersuasive rationales for this hatred and proceeded to debunk them.
Do we dislike him for The Decision, the overhyped primetime special in which he announced he would be taking his talents to South Beach? This is getting closer, though on its own I don't think it would be sufficient for most of us. But we'll come back to it.
Do we dislike LeBron because he's not Michael Jordan? Well, no, given that taking that position would entail disliking every other active NBA player as well. Still, the comparison can be illustrative. But despite Barra's contention, bolstered by a clip from Bad Teacher, that the primary difference between Jordan and LeBron is the number of championship rings on their respective fingers (six for Jordan, none yet for James), that's really not it either. Again, more on this topic in a moment.
After a brief detour back into his we-must-hate-him-for-not-going-to-the-Knicks case, Barra argues that LeBron is the best player in basketball, and certainly better than reigning MVP Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. I agree absolutely, as must pretty much anyone who had access to a television during the Heat's dismantling of the Bulls in the previous round of the playoffs. But why Barra thinks it should be impossible to dislike the best player in the league is beyond me.
Maybe we dislike him because, now that he's teamed with fellow All-Stars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, the Heat will win a ton of championships? Now we're getting somewhere. Barra answers this concern by saying that dominant NBA dynasties are good for ratings and therefore good for the sport. But it's hard to imagine that any genuine fan, at least upon reflection, would believe that whatever is good for ratings—full contact? legalized taunting? strippers at halftime?—is inevitably good for the sport.
In any case, there are better reasons to dislike LeBron James that evidently eluded Barra. Some are highly debatable: for instance, the perception that he is whiny and entitled (crab dribble, anyone?). Others are somewhat debatable: say, the contention that he shockingly quit on his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, in last year's playoffs.
What is not debatable is this: Last year, LeBron, by Barra's own reckoning the best player in basketball, decided it would be easier to join 'em than beat 'em. Wade, with whom he colluded to team up during free agency, was the closest thing LeBron had to genuine competition, at least in the Eastern Conference: same draft class, similar skills and position, and (unlike James) already an NBA champion and Finals MVP. As Bill Simmons put it, "it's a cop-out. Any super-competitive person would rather beat Dwyane Wade than play with him. Don't you want to find the Ali to your Frazier and have that rival pull the greatness out of you?" Not LeBron, evidently. For good measure, he and Wade even brought along the third-most-coveted free agent on the market, fellow All-Star Bosh.
So, are rings really what distinguish LeBron from the Michael Jordan? Of course not. Jordan banged up against the physical Detroit Pistons unsuccessfully for years before finally surmounting them in the playoffs. It would have been easier to simply engineer a trade to the Motor City (or to LA, Boston, Portland, etc.) and start hoisting banners immediately, but he stuck it out as the pieces were fit and refit around him, until they were good enough to make it to the Finals. Nor was this in any way unusual. Bird never considered teaming up with Magic. Hakeem didn't offer to play power forward next to Robinson. Sure, great players have forced trades now and then. But they haven't invented insta-champion superteams out of thin air.
That's what LeBron did with Wade and Bosh. He cut corners. He skipped the gradual team building and rebuilding. He decided that being the best wasn't enough, he wanted to play with the best, too. This might have been tolerable if he'd done it humbly, if he'd said, in essence: I'm not the alpha male; I'm not the transcendent star; I want to be a facilitator of other great players, more Magic than Michael. Instead, he gave us The Decision. He let all-stars Wade and Bosh—the former, again, more credentialed than LeBron—make their free-agency announcement jointly, and waited another day and a half to make his own alone, with all the hype and hooplah he could gin up: a me, me, me moment in which to announce he didn't want the burden to be his, his, his. As I wrote at the time, he had a choice between greatness and humility and, amazingly, chose neither.
But what The Decision told us about LeBron's competitiveness is only part of the problem. The success of the Miami superteam seems to have half the other stars in the league now wanting to cut the same corners. Carmelo Anthony already forced a trade to New York to team up with Amare Stoudamire, and the rumor mills are running overtime. Will they be joined there by Chris Paul? Or is he going to get together with Dwight Howard in Orlando? Or will Howard force a trade to the Lakers to play with Kobe?
I empathize with stars who are expected to carry a heavy burden as their GMs surround them with inferior talent. But there are competitive reasons that we don't just let the top players choose which teams they'll deign to play for—reasons that, until now, they mostly seemed to accept. Maybe the Miami team-up will prove to be an exception, and the recent trend of stars asserting their desire—and leverage—to play with other stars will abate. But it feels as though a threshold has been crossed, and gradual, committed on-court improvement is taking a back seat to off-season collusion and ultimatums. And a league in which more big-market (or nice-climate) superteams duke it out in May while their small-market brethren are home for the summer will not be a healthy league, no matter how good it is for ratings.
Speaking for myself, that's why I dislike LeBron James.

IT IS ALL ABOUT TIMING when fishing Sabine in October.
Although highly regarded as one of the best months of the year by many saltwater specialists, you definitely want to be here between fronts, or just prior to the next one. Light northerly winds and bluebird conditions are what you want.
There is no shortage of shrimp pouring out of the marsh as a result of these cold fronts. Therefore, you’ll see no shortage of seagulls hovering over giant schools of specks and reds. When the conditions are right, you can run the entire bay comfortably in search of the birds. They shouldn’t be too hard to locate.
October is prime time for fishing the birds on Sabine. Lots of times our biggest dilemma is deciding on which flock of gulls we want to fish. When you approach the birds, shut down well ahead of them and troll or drift until you can reach them with a long cast.
Keeping the wind to your back will definitely help in making the long casts needed to get your lure to the fish. (It also doesn’t hurt in the backlash department.) Sometimes the fish don’t stay up very long, so you need to make the most of your time by fishing instead of untangling knots.
As far as baits are concerned, I’ve yet to discover anything that doesn’t work when the fish are in a shrimp-eating frenzy. Soft plastics, topwaters, Rat-L-traps, spoons, jerkbaits and slow sinkers all work just fine. My personal favorite though, is soft plastics with a ¼ ounce jig head. This way we have enough weight to make long casts and don’t have to deal with treble hooks every time we put a fish in the boat.
Sometimes, however, the better fish want topwaters, and that’s all the persuasion I need to get off of the single hook. Another thing to remember is that just because the birds leave, it doesn’t mean the fish have left.
It’s not a bad idea to drop a buoy when you hit a school and make a few more drifts once the fish go down. A good number of reds and some of the better trout are taken by doing this. Just fish a little slower and deeper and you should have more success.
The fall flounder run is so close we can almost taste it. Black’s, Johnson and Madame Johnson Bayous are gearing up to produce some very nice saddle blankets.
The mouths of Willow and Bridge Bayous will also be very productive. Don’t forget your Louisiana fishing license if you plan on fishing inside of any of these bayous.
If you’re looking for something a little off the beaten path for October, give the short rigs a try. Just anchor or tie off and cast near the legs of the rig. Use a fish-finder rig with fresh dead shrimp or cut mullet and you should have no problem loading the ice chest with nice Gulf trout, slot reds and black drum.
Fish between the fronts and you should have lot of success this month on Sabine.
Location: North Revetment (Pleasure Island).
Species: Trout, reds, flounders, whiting.
Baits/Lures: Mud minnows, fresh dead shrimp, soft plastics, topwaters.
Best Times: Mornings and evenings with good tidal movement.

The Treasury Department has proposed new anti-money laundering regulations for investment advisers. If accepted, these rules become effective in 2016. The following information is being provided as a direct and straightforward guide to assist RIAs in complying with these new regulations.
Do the new rules apply to my firm?
I am a “covered” adviser; what do I need to do to comply?
1) Designate a person with overall responsibility for your firm’s AML compliance program (often referred to as the “AML Compliance Officer”).
2) Adopt a written AML policies and procedures manual (see below).
3) Establish internal processes and controls in order to ensure adherence to your AML manual and industry regulations.
4) Schedule an independent audit (see below).
Where can I obtain an AML policies and procedures manual?
Firms can develop their own AML manual; however, due to the time and expertise required, most RIAs elect to purchase one developed by a qualified third party.
A “one-size-fits-all” solution. RIAs differ based on many characteristics, including size, investment products, strategies, employees, locations, custody, brokerage arrangements, customer types and locations, regulatory history, affiliates, technology, and other factors. Although many firms may seem similar, no two are exactly alike and, therefore, no two manuals should be the same.
Wishy-washy language (e.g., “the firm may review XYZ report periodically” versus what regulators want to see: “the firm will conduct a monthly review of the XYZ report.”).
Manuals for other types of institutions. Do not purchase a manual designed for a broker-dealer or bank. There are differences in the requirements, regulators, and manner in which these firms are examined. If you adopt the wrong type of manual, there is a good chance you will be subjecting your firm to additional rules that do not apply or are not relevant.
How do I satisfy the audit requirement?
Frequency: We recommend the first audit is completed within 12 months of the Rule’s effective date. While the rules do not specifically require so, if testing is postponed and material deficiencies are discovered, firms are risking not identifying weaknesses early on and having their AML program being cited as deficient. Depending on the firm’s AML risk and results of the first AML audit, a determination may be made that the frequency of testing can be less frequent than annual.
Auditor Selection: Testing may be conducted by internal personnel only if the auditor is qualified and independent. Qualified means someone knowledgeable in AML regulations and the Bank Secrecy Act. In addition to knowledge, a qualified person should understand industry best practices for conducting audits—which includes sampling methodologies, interview strategies, and evaluating automated solutions and technology platforms in order to identify gaps. Practically speaking, most RIAs who do not have an experienced internal auditor, or other qualified person who is completely isolated from the day-to-day business responsibilities, find that they are not able to satisfy these requirements. Independent means the person does not have any AML responsibilities and does not report to the AML Officer, or have other material conflicts of interest.
It covers all elements required by the SEC, Treasury/FinCEN and Bank Secrecy Act relative to investment advisers.
It is customized to the firm’s business, taking into account types of customers, transactions, operations, supervisory structure, and monitoring processes.
Is the consultant familiar with your business model? For example, a different approach should be employed to evaluate onboarding and monitoring of individual investors versus institutions, private funds, or ERISA plans. Additionally, risks relating to investment products and management strategies may vary, and evaluating non-discretionary equity trading activity is different from algorithm-based portfolio management (e.g., robo-advisors).
What type of training has the consultant completed?
3) Reporting. It is extremely important to obtain a detailed report in order to evidence you have satisfied the requirement. Keep in mind, you will most likely need to provide this during your next regulatory examination. And if the report is only a few pages, then it is most likely not robust enough. Reporting should clearly outline the areas reviewed, details of records examined, results of testing (i.e., deficiencies), and enough information about the auditor so the regulators can make a determination concerning independence and qualifications.
What are the costs to comply?
AML manual: The cost of purchasing an AML policies and procedures manual will vary, and depend partly on whether you are hiring the third party to assist with customization of the manual. If the manual is written in a straightforward manner with guidance, firms can easily customize it themselves. It is expected that the cost will begin at $500 for smaller firm templates and increase depending on the level of customization.
AML audit: Most AML auditors begin pricing at approximately $1500 for smaller firms. Factors such as the number and types of clients, transaction volume, and number of employees will increase audit time and cost.
AML training: Firms can develop their own training content and may find several public sources helpful, including FinCEN, SEC, and law enforcement actions and case studies. Training should be customized to each firm’s business and some may find it useful to create position-specific training depending on an employee’s role. Third party training program costs are usually based on the number of participants and generally cost at least $200-$300.
Other internal costs: It is difficult to anticipate and estimate all other costs, as different firms utilize different types of technology, client forms, and internal processes. However, it is recommended that firms begin by investing time in evaluating two processes which are likely to be affected more than others: customer onboarding and activity monitoring. These processes are critical to each firm’s AML program. By spending the appropriate time on customizing your AML program up front, you will increase the chances of avoiding additional costs and regulatory issues later.

Amazon has quietly launched a Mac software download service to compete with Apple's very own Mac App Store.
More than 250 online offerings are split into separate software and video games areas with some prices undercutting Apple's.
Amazon is also flogging Microsoft Office for Mac as a download, a title which is conspicuous by its absence from the Mac App Store.
The on-line book-flogger is celebrating the launch, and attempting to entice customers away from the Apple store, with $5 discounts on 'selected games' as well as giving away cutesy airline management sim Airport Mania: First Flight for free.
Games on offer seem at first glance to be dominated by third-rate bargain bucketry but digging a little deeper unearths the likes of Dragon Age 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Amazon says any games purchased can be downloaded and installed an unlimited amount of times for personal use.
The service is USA only at time of writing and we've had no response from Amazon on the timeline for a wider UK or international launch, though we suspect it will be on the cards soon enough.

In this Photoshop tutorial, you will learn how to create your own “fractal” style design. Keep in mind that technically we are not creating a fractal; we are just copying the same aesthetic elements onto our design. Let us get started.
Fractals in geometric terms, is a pattern or figure that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole. It is a concept called self-similarity and gives you highly similar patterns even as you close in on its different parts. In the end, the result is a beautiful pattern that looks totally organized or symmetrical, yet fragmented and askew at the same time. That is why some people actually want to use the same “style” of fractals for creative pursuits in print and web design.
First, will we setup our document. In this tutorial, we will be using the preset values in Photoshop, but we will also set a high resolution so that you can also use this in print (if you need to). Once Adobe Photoshop is open, we just press CTRL+N to create a new document and then we alter the resolution setting. Compare your settings with the values below.
Then, we create a new layer. Go to Layer -> New Layer… Name this layer “diagonal guideline” in the window that opens.
We will now use the LINE TOOL to create our diagonal guides. Just select the line tool in the tools panel. Set the Weight of the line tool to 1 pixel (at the options bar above). Make sure you set your color to something distinct, such as a pure blue or vivid red. Once set, create the line by following the vertical guideline we just created earlier. Hold down the SHIFT key to make sure it is a straight line.
With the line layer still selected, press CTRL+T. This enables the transformation mode for layers and shapes. Once activated, look at your options bar above. You will see several settings and options for the transformation. Look for the value that governs the angle, it usually has the “angle” icon. Set the angle of our line layer to 10 degrees to rotate it as much.
Next, we duplicate the line layer by simply pressing CTRL+J. We then transform the duplicate line by pressing CTRL+T. Once the transformation box appears, right click on it and then select the option “flip horizontal” in the context menu that appears. This gives us two lines for the perspective view.
Then we position our perspective guidelines in such a way that their meeting point is also at the intersection of our original guidelines. Once done, make sure you save your document.
Great! Now, we just add a black background by just using the paint bucket tool on the background layer. Of course, you can use any theme color if you like here.
The next step is to add the shapes for the fractal effect itself. There are lots of different free sources for fractal shapes. You can either download those or create your own fractal shapes in illustrator. In our case to make things easier, we actually use the built in custom shapes in Adobe Photoshop. We just use the custom shape tool and choose one creative shape from the shape gallery. We position it on the top part within the perspective guidelines like so.
The next step is to add some colors. To do this we will first rasterize the layer. To do this, simply right click on the shape and select the option to “rasterize” it.
Then, we hold the CTRL key and then click on the layer thumbnail image in the layers panel. This selects the area of the shape. We then use a simple brush to color the parts of the shape into different theme hues.
We then just keep on adding other shapes/effects within the perspective lines. Make sure that you scale them properly (CTRL+T) fitting each shape within the guidelines. Of course color them appropriately with your theme color.
The next step is to merge the layers to make them easier to manipulate. Simply select all the layers and then right click on them. Look for the merge layers option and click on it.
Now, duplicate this merged layer by pressing CTRL+J. Once duplicated, select the duplicate and then press CTRL+T to start transforming it. Look at the options bar and reduce both the width and height values to 90%. Also change the rotation angle to 20%. Make sure you reposition the new layer as needed so that we have a pivoting pattern from the center.
Just repeat the process over and over. You will see the fractal design style appear. Make sure to always adjust the angle by 20 degrees. Also always reduce the size by 90% for all dimensions. Take note as well that we are dragging the center anchor to the center source of the design so that it rotates correctly.
Once it is finished, it should look like this.
The next step is to merge all the layers that we created into one fractal layer. Just use the same technique before. Then, duplicate it, resize it a bit, and use these duplicates to fill all the other empty spaces creatively. We actually probably need to save this document to be safe as well of course.
Next, duplicate all the merged fractals into one place. Then go to Filter ->blur Gaussian blur. With the main document selected adjust the slider until you have just a slightly blurred image.
Then, we reduce the opacity of the blurred duplicate to around 30%.
Then, we just change the blend mode of this layer to “Overlay”.
Great! That finishes our fractal tutorial. You can use all of these tricks for your own custom game and design of course.

Pair Sayfutdinov - Hampel have been presenting some great racing. They've been complementing each other at the track and many double wins cause that once again, it's them who were selecting their opponent in the semi-final.
- We got another points to the general classification of the series, so we're really happy with it. Now, all we need to do is forget and prepare to another round in Landshut - Sayfutdinov says.
In Rzeszów, Russian rider had some issues with preparing his equipment during first two heats, however in the later phase of the meeting, his racing was close to being perfect.
- It was a challenging round - track was changing, you had to react quickly. I'm really glad we managed to set things right - Russian added.
Final round of Speedway Best Pairs will be taken in Landshut and Sayfutdinov got some good words for this track.
- My last time in Landshut was few years ago, but this track suits me. No matter what the weather is, surface is always prepared well, so we shouldn't have any issues with setting our bikes up there - Sayfutdinov ended.
Final round of Speedway Best Pairs 2018 will be held in Landshut, on May 10th 2018 - 1 PM CET. Tickets can be purchased via http://bit.ly/Landshut_tickets.

As you know, our cats and wolves will eat twice a day, often times early to mid morning and later afternoons to evenings. The different feeding times are related to the animal’s other stats. Each stat (Hunger, Happy, and Heat) is calculated at separate times. The stats will increase after each one of the other stats is effected.
Text Off / On – You can toggle between showing the food container’s hovertext above it with this button.
Warn Off / on – You can toggle between receiving warning messages when the food container starts to run low with this button. To receive the warning messages, the container needs to be rezzed in-world.
When you touch the refill vendor, a drop menu will appear at the top of your screen. In that window, enter the UUID Key of the avatar you want to refill a dish for. You can locate the your friend’s Avatar UUID Key below the name in their profile.
Once you’ve input your friend’s UUID Key in the space indicated, the next menu will pop up asking you which dish to choose. It makes no difference which dish you chose to fill (Breeding Food/Kibble, Pet Food/Kibble, Catnip/Happy, etc.). The type of food you chose DOES matter. For example: You can’t fill a Breeding Food dish with Pet Food. You can fill a seasonal food dish with the type of food it was intended for. The Big Cats, Wild Dogs and Little Varmint eat from the server side, so any dish will feed them as long as it’s the food they’re set to eat.
After selecting the type of food to fill, right click the vendor kiosk and choose the amount you want to pay. If you need to see how many portions each amount will add to your friend’s food supply, look to the food vendors next to this kiosk. This is the only way to feed someone else’s animal. Buying a new dish from the regular food vendor will not feed your friend’s animal.
1. Rez the item near the cat or wolf you want to use it on.
2. Elixir of Happy – This blue bottle will boost your animal 10 Happy points. You can give them as many a day as you wish.
4. Healing Cream Bowl / Healing Biscuit – Heals a sick animal, bringing its hunger down to 80 points. After using the Healing Cream Bowl / Healing Biscuit, your animal will eat double the amount of food as usual until their Hunger reaches 0.
8. Forever Pet – The Forever Pet potion will turn your pet into a full blown pet. It will no longer need food or Catnip / Happy Bowl. Your animal will not be able to breed anymore. This item is valuable for animals that are bred out, or for animals you want to keep forever with minimal maintenance. When your animal has had the Forever Pet Potion used on it, it will change the “Food Type” in the Animal menu of the Portal Page Dashboard to F.P.

ZIMBABWE – Grace Mugabe has developed her own devilish way of attacking and dispatching her political rivals; first she accuses them of plotting to unseat her husband by starting and fanning the factionalism and division within the party, when in fact she is the one starting and fanning the war because she fears that her rivals are getting more popular than her and her husband. Then, under the disguise of the peacemaker bearing the olive branch, she savagely attacks her rivals, destroying their support bases and building her own.
Whilst it is actively encouraged to support Grace in the race to be Mugabe’s successor; anyone seen supporting her rivals in this rat-race is now guilty of a new crime called “factionalism”.
“Kuro imbwa wakavhinga mupinhi!” is what the Shona would say about Grace’s devilish modus operandi. The English equivalent would be the bad wolf attacking the sheep downstream accusing them of mudding his drinking the water!
Grace used her simple and very effective devilish scheme to ouster Joice Mujuru and her followers; the simpleton and her followers did not see it coming and they scattered in all direction in total confusion. Grace launch her attach in August out of nowhere by December, in time for the party’s elective congress, her husband was able to deliver the coup de grace on Mujuru and her supporters!
VP Mnangagwa now standing in her way to be Mugabe’s successor and she is using her tried and tested dirty tactics on him.
She was in Chimanimani to further the interests of her new G40 faction fighting to wrestle control of the party from VP Mnangagwa faction which emerged as the strong side after the more popular Mujuru group was booted out last year. The G40 faction never existed, Grace is the one who has started it and is building it up!
President Mugabe and his wife did not have much trouble “baby dumping” Joice Mujuru and her followers but doing the same with Mnangagwa and his supporters will not be so easy!
“Generation 40 is just a nuisance to the party. There are cronies of diversionists coming from power-hungry clowns misguided by errant professors from nowhere who have found their way into the party,” hit back Minister Chris Mutsvangwa, a known Mnangagwa supporter.
“No single fisher organisations has succeeded outside the legitimacy conferred by the liberation war. They mean nothing and will fail the way the Mujuru cabal failed…they should stop it now. They won’t succeed against war veterans, they are too young,” he continued.
I beg to differ there with Patrick, for all their macho bravado Grace and her G40 faction are much too weak and feeble to take on Ngwena (crocodile) Mnangagwa. The party is still licking its wounds from its dog-eat-dog fight with Mujuru and her supporters, many of whom are still in the party and will hit back from within; it would be foolhardy to trigger off yet another fight by booting out Mnangagwa and his followers too.
Ever since Grace Mugabe bust into Zanu PF politics last year she has mudded the party’s already muddy waters to ouster Mujuru, her greatest rival to be her husband’s successor. She soon realized that she was not going to have it all her way as VP Mnangagwa emerged as the front runner. The succession rat-race is hotting up and Grace is way out of her depth and the minute Mugabe dies she will know just how dangerous a provoked crocodile can be especially in these mudded waters – he is in his element.

CCR5 has long been of interest to HIV researchers because many people that are resistant to HIV infection have a mutation in their CCR5 gene—the delta32 mutation. This mutation results in a smaller protein that isn't on the outside of the cell, and most forms of HIV cannot infect the cells. By blocking the expression of the CCR5 gene, researchers at Sangamo were unable to infect the cells with HIV. When CCR5 expression was artificially restored, infection took place as expected.
Pharmaceutical companies are working on ways to block the CCR5 receptor on the outside of the cell, but these attempts have only been marginally successful thus far: one of the two trials resulted in liver toxicity and had to be ended prematurely. There are upwards of 10,000 CCR5 receptors on the surface of each T cell—blocking them all requires high concentrations of a suitable drug, which is probably why the one trial ended the way it did. By using zinc finger modification to permanently disable CCR5 expression, there is a good chance that HIV proliferation could be slowed dramatically, or even halted during the early stages of infection, without excessively high concentrations of a given drug.
There is some controversy over whether blocking the expression of the CCR5 receptor is a wise thing to do. Approximately 1% of the Caucasian population has inherited the delta32 mutation from both parents, which means that they lack a CCR5 pathway entirely. Despite the CCR5 receptor being relatively promiscuous—multiple chemokines use the CCR5 receptor—these people are perfectly healthy. We will have to wait for the results of the trials to discover whether de-activating the CCR5 gene artificially will have any adverse effects on HIV patients. Said trials are scheduled to take place in conjunction with the UPenn School of Medicine in 2006.

A slow-growth environment puts all the more pressure on organizations to ensure their projects are aligned with their strategy, says Ms. Schoeman.
In 2013, Ms. Schoeman’s portfolio budget was reduced to accommodate a new strategic initiative, and in 2014, the budget remained ;at even as the scope increased. Given that ;nancial reality, every project—and every deliverable—must support a speci;c strategic objective to keep getting a piece of the funding pie.

Like many gamers and gadget junkies Wired's annual Vaporware list has long been a must read for me. But this year, not so much.
Even ignoring the fact that their list includes Home, a game that has already come out and will likely remain in permanent beta, according to SCEA; the writers of Wired seem to be struggling this year to find things to fill their story with.
Why, for instance, have they decided to name Duke Nukeum Forever as the Vaporware 2008 winner when it was removed from the list a few years ago? I know I don't speak for all gamers, but as an avid Duke player back in the day, I just don't care about this game anymore. A game "under development" for nine years is either a cheap ploy for press coverage or something entirely different from what it started out as.
There was a reason Wired removed the game from the list in 2004. And its return a year later, I think, was the beginning of the end for the gaming portion of the list.
As technology changes and game developers find ways to get around delays (thank you very much downloadable content and patchable console games), maybe it's time to give video games that lifetime achievement award and concentrate on gadgets.

Well, he did not state who gave Nya the money. But when Nya went, the kind of mood they saw them in, he said he thought that that kind of amount was given to him. So whether it was Nya who directly told him about this information, or what, he did not tell me that. But he said they were now ashamed to cross to come over to Liberia and that was why they were still in Sierra Leone.

Response: Earlier findings from our group (e.g. Fang et al., NEJM 2012; Arnberg et al., Lancet Psychiatry 2015; Lu et al., JAMA Oncol 2016; Shen et al., BMJ 2016; Zhu et al., Ann Oncol 2017) have identified pathways through which stressful events contribute to deterioration in human health. With strong animal models and human data supporting a role of stress in immune dysregulation, the hypothesis linking mental distress with autoimmune is indeed plausible. However, the evidence is as yet limited to clinical observations and a few larger observational studies on US veterans, most of them on men only, and some of which have cross-sectional designs and various other methodological shortcomings.
Response: As much as 10 to 20 percent of military members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan following the September 11th attacks suffer from PTSD, which is often chronic and incapacitating. A constant increase in the number of individuals suffering from PTSD as a result of massive natural disasters, terror attacks, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, has prompted an urgent need for effective and efficient evidence-based treatments for PTSD.
Prolong exposure (PE) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that involves exposure to trauma memories and daily life trauma reminders. Previous studies have proven PE is quite effective for treating civilians and veterans with PTSD. In this five-year study, the researchers sought to determine whether PE could have similar success with active-duty military personnel. The researchers examined the benefit of various methods for delivering PE including Massed-PE, (10 therapy sessions administered over two weeks) and Spaced-PE (10 sessions administered over 8 weeks), as well as Present Centered Therapy (PCT), a non-trauma-focused therapy that involves identifying and discussing daily stressors in 10 sessions over eight weeks, and Minimal Contact Control (MCC), which included supportive phone calls from therapists once weekly for four weeks.
Response: A common barrier to healthcare for psychiatric conditions is the stigma associated with these disorders. Perceived stigma prevents many from reporting their symptoms. Stigma is a particularly pervasive problem among military service members, preventing them from reporting symptoms of combat-related conditions like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
This put them at risk for having their symptoms go untreated, with possible disastrous outcomes including suicide attempts. We envisioned a technology system – a virtual human interviewer – whereby military service members can get feedback about their risk for PTSD in a safe place without stigma. Indeed, our prior research has shown that, because its “just a computer” (therefore safe and anonymous), this virtual human interviewer helps people to feel safe discussing sensitive issues like mental health symptoms. In this follow-up research project (published in Frontiers), we sought to demonstrate the value of this kind of virtual human interviewer specifically for encouraging reporting of PTSD symptoms among service members.
Response: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was once thought to be a disorder of combat veterans, however, we now know that more than 60% of Americans experience a traumatic event during their lifetimes, and that this can have negative consequences for mental and physical health. Many people recover from the psychological effects of trauma without any intervention, but a significant proportion have long-lasting debilitating symptoms.
Supported by the NIH, the cutting edge of PTSD research includes new strategies for preventing the disease, rather than treating PTSD after patients have been living with symptoms for months to years. In order to prevent the disease, it is critical that we are able to quickly identify people who will be at risk for the disease following a trauma, so that preventive strategies can be deployed bedside in the emergency room or in the battlefield. In the current study, we used functional MRI to predict which individuals would recover from trauma, and which individuals would have long-lasting symptoms of PTSD.
Response: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur after a psychological trauma such as physical violence, abuse, or natural disaster. It is characterised by increased arousal, flashbacks, and nightmares that reflect memories of the trauma. Current therapies include talking therapy, but it is costly and does not work in everybody. This is why we were looking for ways of reducing aversive memories with a drug. In the current study, we found that the antibiotic doxycycline impairs the formation of negative memories in healthy volunteers.
To form memories, the brain needs to strengthen connections between neurons. It has recently emerged that for strengthening such connections particular proteins are required that sit between nerve cells, so-called MMPs. They are involved in many disorders outside the brain, such as certain cancers and heart disease. This is how we already know that doxycycline suppresses the activity of MMPs. Since doxycycline is relatively safe and readily accessible, our research was relatively straightforward.
76 healthy volunteers – half women, half men – came to the laboratory and received either placebo (a sugar pill) or 200 mg doxycycline. They then took part in a computer test in which one screen color was often followed by a mildly painful electric shock and another color was not.
A week later, volunteers came back to the lab. They were shown the colors again , this time followed by a loud sound but never by shocks. The loud sounds made people blink their eyes – a reflexive response to sudden threat. This eye blink response was measured. Volunteers who had initially been under placebo had stronger eye blink after the color that predicted electric shock than after the other color. This “fear response” is a sensitive measure for memory of negative associations. Strikingly, the fear response was 60% lower in participants who had initially taken doxycycline.
Response: We examined the experiences of 1285 American women, military and civilian, who served in Vietnam during the war and responded to a mail survey conducted approximately 25 years later in which they were asked to report and reflect upon their experiences and social and health histories.
(c) to contextualize the general health and happiness, marital characteristics, and childbearing patterns of women deployed to Vietnam and those of their peers by comparing them to a contemporaneous nationally representative age-matched cohort, the General Social Survey (GSS).
Overall, this paper provides insight into the experiences of the understudied women who served in Vietnam, and sheds light on subgroup differences within the sample.
Response: Exposure-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is the treatment of choice for patients with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorders. Some patients do not respond sufficiently to such treatment. This has led researchers to find ways to augment (enhance) CBT with pharmacological agents, such as D-cycloserine (DCS).
Because CBT is such a powerful treatment for most patients, we suspected that the effects of DCS would probably be small. This means that very large samples of patients are needed to show statistically significant differences between groups. Previous studies and meta-analyses were underpowered to detect such small effects. Combining the raw data from all available studies to date gave us the power we needed to address the question of whether DCS is an efficacious augmenting strategy, over and above CBT.
We also had a second research question. Previous research from our group had suggested that there may be undesirable interactions between DCS and antidepressants, whereby patients taking both types of drugs would have significantly worse outcomes (see Andersson et al JAMA Psychiatry. 2015 Jul;72(7):659-67.
Response: One out of five U.S. military service members returning from overseas military conflicts meets screening criteria for at least one mental health condition, yet fewer than half of service members will receive help from a mental health professional. The consequences of inadequate mental health treatment are considerable and can lead to significant social and functional problems for service members and their families. In response to these mounting concerns, the Military Health System (MHS) has increased efforts to expand and improve the identification and treatment of mental health disorders. Given that the average service member visits primary care three times each year, the MHS has invested considerable resources into the integration of mental health services into the primary care setting. Collaborative care is an effective model for integrating mental health services into primary care and has demonstrated effectiveness in treating different mental health conditions to include depression and anxiety disorders. However, no previous studies have examined whether the concept can work in the MHS.
Recently, the first large-scale, randomized effectiveness trial evaluating an integrated health care model in primary care for PTSD and depression in the DoD was conducted. This trial randomized 666 military members treated across six large Army bases to a centrally-assisted collaborative telecare (CACT) approach for PTSD and depression or to the existing standard of care (usual collaborative care). This effectiveness trial targeted a large population of service members as they came into primary care and minimized exclusion criteria to improve the generalizability of the findings and broaden the applicable reach of the intervention.
Response: Every year over 800,000 people die by suicide, and for every individual’s death, it is estimated that another 20 people will make a suicide attempt. Therefore, to be able to prevent suicide, we need to understand the different factors that can combine to make an individual think about ending their own life.
Dr. Patel: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur in patients after the traumatizing events of critical illness. Survivors of critical illness have reported PTSD symptoms months to even years after critical illness, possibly related to nightmare-like experiences, safety restraints creating communication barriers, and protective mechanical ventilation causing feelings of breathlessness and fear of imminent death. But, the epidemiology of PTSD after critical illness is unclear with wide ranging estimates (0-64%) and largely fails to distinguish past PTSD from new PTSD specifically resulting from the critical care experience.
Dr. Kebbe: This study proceeded after sensing that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was a major contributor to ill outcomes in Veterans who are hospitalized in general, and mechanically ventilated in the intensive care unit (ICU) in particular. There is plenty of data depicting the comorbid roles PTSD plays in other medical conditions, leading to an increase in the use of medical services. Furthermore, PTSD affects a Veteran’s adherence to both medical and psychiatric therapies. Having said this, the ICU course could itself negatively affect a pre-existing PTSD, or even lead to the inception of such a condition de novo. However, to date, there has been no study looking at the effect a pre-existing PTSD diagnosis may have on the ICU hospitalization and thereafter.
Our study confirmed that PTSD led to an increase in sedative requirements (opiates and benzodiazepines) for Veterans who were mechanically ventilated for more than 24h between 2003 and 2013, and revealed a trend towards an increase in mortality when compared to Veterans not suffering from PTSD. This is why many veterans are trying to claim disability benefits using va benefits and disability lawyer Tennessee to help them fight their case.
Dr. Magruder: There has been lots of attention and concern over PTSD in your younger veterans — both male and female — and in male Vietnam veterans. Too often the women who served during the Vietnam Era have been largely overlooked. We felt like we owed it to them to understand better their responses to their wartime experiences — even if 40 years later. It’s never too late to do the right thing!
Our main finding is that the women who served in Vietnam had high prevalence of PTSD (20% lifetime, 16% current) and this was not attributable to cases that had developed prior to entering the military. This was higher than the women who served near Vietnam or in the United States. When we looked at their reported experiences during the Vietnam Era, the women who were in Vietnam reported higher levels of exposure to all of the items on our scale. It was these experiences — especially sexual harassment, performance pressures, and experiences with triage and death — that explained their higher levels of PTSD.
Dr. Froemke: We studied how a brain area called the ‘locus coeruleus’ is involved in hearing. The locus coeruleus is the brain’s alarm clock, it’s a small region deep in the brainstem that is responsible for arousal and wakefulness, activated by surprising or potentially dangerous events. The locus coeruleus releases the neurochemical noradrenalin (similar to adrenalin) throughout the brain to greatly increase brain activity, and so might convey the significance of sounds related to past events that were very important or startling in some way (like the sound of an alarm, a baby crying, or other sounds that require immediate attention).
We found that sounds related to surprising events can come to directly activate the locus coeruleus, meaning that this brain area can learn from past experience. This learning happens quickly (within seconds to minutes) and can be incredibly long-lasting, up to weeks as measured in our study, and we suspect indefinitely or all life-long. We studied this by training lab rats to respond to sounds, poking their nose in a hole to get a food reward whenever they heard a certain sound. We activated the locus coeruleus briefly in some of these animals, and observed that they were much more sensitive to this sound and learned much faster than other unstimulated animals. We made recordings of electrical activity in the locus coeruleus and the auditory cortex, one of the major ‘hearing’ parts of the brain. In stimulated animals, sounds activated the locus coeruleus within tens of milliseconds, releasing noradrenalin into the auditory cortex to greatly boost the audio processing there- making almost every neuron respond very vigorously to that special sound.
Dr. Polusny: VA has invested heavily in the dissemination of prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy as first-line treatments for PTSD; however, 30% to 50% of Veterans do not show clinically significant improvements and dropout rates are high. Evidence suggests that mindfulness-based stress reduction – an intervention that teaches individuals to attend to the present moment in a non-judgmental, accepting manner – can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. This randomized clinical trial compared mindfulness-based stress reduction with present-centered group therapy – sessions focused on current life problems. We randomly assigned 116 Veterans with PTSD to receive nine sessions of mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy (n=58) or nine sessions of present-centered group therapy (n=58). Outcomes were assessed before, during and after treatment, and at two-month follow-up. Exclusion criteria included: substance dependence (except nicotine), psychotic disorder, suicidal or homicidal ideation, and/or cognitive impairment or medical illness that could interfere with treatment. The primary outcome was a change in self-reported PTSD symptom severity over time. Secondary outcomes included interview-rated PTSD severity scores, self-reported depression symptoms, quality of life, and mindfulness skills.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy – compared with present-centered group therapy – resulted in a greater decrease in self-reported PTSD symptom severity. Veterans in the mindfulness-based stress reduction group were more likely to show clinically significant improvement in self-reported PTSD symptom severity (49% vs. 28%) at two-month follow-up, but they were no more likely to have loss of PTSD diagnosis (53% vs. 47%). Veterans participating in mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy reported greater improvement in quality of life and depressive symptoms than those in present-centered group therapy; however improvement in depressive symptoms scores did not reach the level of significance. Improvements in quality of life made during treatment were maintained at 2-month follow-up for Veterans in the mindfulness-based stress reduction group, but reports of quality of life returned to baseline levels for those in present-centered group therapy. The dropout rate observed for mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy (22%) in this study was lower than dropout rates reported in previous studies for PE (28.1% to 44%) and CPT (26.8% to 35%).
Dr. James: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is experienced by some people after a traumatic event. While many people who’ve been involved in traumatic events don’t experience PTSD, those who do typically have repeated visual intrusive memories of certain moments in vivid detail that pop back into mind, seemingly out of the blue. For example, with PTSD after a car crash might repeatedly ‘see’ the moment the other car crashed into them.
The recommended treatment for PTSD is cognitive behaviour therapy, a talking therapy that has been demonstrated to work well. But it is only delivered once intrusive memories have become established and PTSD is diagnosable – i.e. at least one month after the traumatic event occurred. At present, there is nothing readily available for use soon after trauma that has been shown to prevent symptoms building up and PTSD becoming established.
In previous laboratory work our research team showed that playing Tetris shortly after viewing events with traumatic content (e.g. film footage of road safety campaigns – what we call an experimental trauma) could reduce intrusive memories of those events in healthy volunteers over the following week [2, 3] when played in a 4-hour time window after viewing. We reasoned that this was because having to follow and track the shapes, colour and movement of the coloured blocks in Tetris soon after seeing the experimental trauma (the film) disrupted aspects of the visual memory of that event from being ‘laid down’ in the sensory part of the brain, whilst leaving memory for the narrative and meaning of the events unaffected.
However, it is hard to reach people so soon after a traumatic event in the real world and memories for events become ‘fixed’ in mind within hours after an event making them difficult to change. Therefore it was important to show whether we can change older, established memories of trauma.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada, May 11, 2014 (ENS) – A British Columbia Supreme Court decision undermines government claims that B.C.’s forestry laws are among the strongest in the world, environment groups said Friday, after losing a court battle to protect the province’s last old-growth Coastal Douglas-fir forests.
In a case brought by two nonprofits, the Western Canada Wilderness Committee and the ForestEthics Solutions Society, the court ruled Friday that the B.C. government is not obligated by the Forest and Range Practices Act, FRPA, to protect the province’s remaining endangered old-growth Coastal Douglas-fir ecosystems or any other species at risk.
The province is currently governed by a second-term Liberal government, headed by Premier Christy Clark. The groups sued the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, who is responsible for the Wildlife Act and responsible for designating Wildlife Habitat Areas under the act.
They alleged that the provincial government violated its own law by failing to protect the few remaining patches of Coastal Douglas-fir, CDF, forest from continued logging.
“The court has confirmed what conservationists have been saying for years, that the Forest and Range Practices Act doesn’t protect species at risk in any meaningful way,” said Torrance Coste, Vancouver Island Campaigner for the Wilderness Committee.
The groups argued that the government is required under the Forest and Range Practices Act to issue notices that would, in effect, prevent logging operations that would impact the remaining 275 hectares of old-growth Coastal Douglas-fir forest in the coastal region.
The provincial government argued that nothing in the law obligates it to issue such notices, although the government has the power to decide whether or not to issue one at any point in the future, if they consider it to be appropriate.
The Coastal Douglas-fir tree is one of the more than 1,900 at-risk plant and animal species found in British Columbia, one of the only provinces in Canada without a stand-alone endangered species law in addition to the federal Species At Risk Act.
British Columbia is inhabited by 75 percent of Canada’s bird species, 70 percent of its freshwater fish species and 66 percent of its butterfly species.
Currently, 87 percent of species at risk in B.C. receive no protection of any kind under provincial or federal laws.
“The court’s ruling indicates that we cannot rely on existing laws like FRPA to protect species at risk,” said Morgan Blakley, staff lawyer at Ecojustice, a public interest law firm that represented the petitioning groups in this case.
Coastal Douglas-fir forest once dominated an area covering almost 2,600 square kilometres.
According to government data and evidence introduced in court, currently only 2.75 square kilometres, an area smaller than Vancouver’s Stanley Park, remains in old-growth condition.
“This judgement on Coastal Douglas-fir confirms the deep systemic problems in B.C.’s forest management and shows that it is anything but sustainable,” said Valerie Langer, Conservation Director for ForestEthics Solutions.
“Gone is any credibility with eco-minded companies that have been purchasing B.C. timber because of its ‘sustainability,'” Langer said.
In other British Columbia forest news, environmental groups Wednesday rejected the B.C. government’s proposal for forest tenure change that would increase the amount of land under the control of logging companies in the form of Tree Farm Licences.
The new provincial government website accepts public comments on a proposal to allow companies to apply for a change in their forest tenures from volume-based to more secure area-based Tree Farm Licences.
A similar initiative, Bill 8, was proposed before the 2013 election by MLA Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operation. It was withdrawn after being rejected by diverse community and economic interests, environmental organizations and in some cases, logging company executives concerned about the reputation of B.C. forestry.
The groups say a coherent action plan should address a lack of government oversight and enforcement, continuing mill closures and job losses, unsustainable rates of logging, native and non-native community control over forests, insufficient protection for critical species habitat, raw log exports, regional monopolies, shortfalls in reforestation, lack of inventory and research as a result of cutbacks, massive forest carbon emissions and climate impacts like the Mountain Pine beetle and fire threats.
An example of a coherent long-term approach to achieve the goal of healthy forests and healthy communities is underway in B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest, which will result in increasing conservation and a long-term timber supply based on Ecosystem-Based Management.

The Whales finished their study of birds this week (though we're noticing a continued interest in ornithology; with birdwatching happening during our outdoor learning time in the piazza, and out our classroom windows!). With research help from their Kestrel buddies at the Community School, the Whales have completed a beautiful Bird Encyclopedia. The book includes writing and scientific illustrations that inform the reader about bird habitat, diet, nest building, eggs, feet, beaks and more.
We will unveil the finished book on Wednesday of next week when our Kestrel buddies visit our classroom for a book share. Make sure to ask your Whale student to share information about their Northwest Bird!

I do not usually post on politics. I enjoy debating and following politics but there is so much coverage out there, I just do not have anything different to say on the subject.
The below article, from the Wall Street Journal, goes into Obama’s plan for tax increases, cuts and program expansions. If you do not read the Journal, well…you should.
I wanted to just say that I am worried (sacred more like it) about Obama’s tax plan.
I cannot wait for some in depth analysis on McCain’s plan to see if he will be a “tax and spend” or a “fiscally responsible” President if elected. At least, Obama’s position is now set in my mind.

HDDs and SSDs in the 2.5" form factor are getting more and more popular as their storage capacity is growing. It is a logical consequence to employ them in servers. That‘s why ICY BOX offers a backplane that fits into a 5.25" bay and holds 6x 2.5" SATA/SAS HDDs or SSDs. The height of the HDDs may even be 9,5 mm.
With support for SAS III and SATA III you can find high data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbit/s, that will get your data in no time.
Six 2.5" HDDs or SSDs fit into this enclosure and can be installed in a 5.25" bay in a PC, server or similar device. The carriers are also provided with a lock that prevents accidental opening and unauthorized access.
In order to be able to see how the backplane is doing and what is currently happening, LEDs provide information about power and HDD/SSD access. And when something goes wrong, an alarm will warn you of overheating or fan failure.
