The introduction of cars and vans with low Co2 emissions and electric vehicles aren’t only available in the United States. The Nissan Leaf has also been made available to rent at some of their larger rental outlets across the U.S and Europe, with Hertz recently partnering with Endesa, Spain’s largest electric utility company to ensure the car is now available in Malaga too. Hertz new 24/7 initiative makes these cars available in convenient locations to book and drive at any time of the day. This allows these environmentally friendly vehicles to be more accessible at any time both in the U.S and Europe. Following recent pressures from organisations and activist groups rental companies are ensuring they do not fall out of favour with customers by introducing their new ranges of low Co2 emission vehicles. CEO and Chairman Mark Frissora issued a statement: “Environmental sustainability is integrated throughout the Company, from our car wash process to the way we build our rental locations. Having a selection of leading electric vehicles in our fleet gives customers a valued selection of smart mobility option when renting.” Frissora also looked toward the future saying, “Hertz is constantly looking for opportunities to improve and grow our sustainability efforts”. Environmentally friendly cars are further becoming part of society in a move to improve emissions output, and rental companies are seemingly not hesitating to be involved. Expect further releases from both car manufacturers and rental companies in the future.

We have at least four packs being made up atm. Each pack will contain a single page floor plan of the "lair", bundled in with this will be figures from several artists here, namely, Sammo, Dryw and Kiladecus. The room above has been populated by Sammo/MossGames - some absolutely wicked warlock/mage/cultists with mind boggling eye-demons. I'm hoping that this pack will be published very soon. I just saw some of your critters, Billiam, over on your CafePress thread. I wouldn't mind having an Inked Adventures troll or two among the figures I use. They certainly have personality! I'm working on a vehicle for this month's forum hoard, and I'm going to have to "skin" it ala Inked Adventures due the obsolescence of my digital graphics skills. Thanks for all the fun you provide! By the way, while cleaning out the attic I found a whole set of Heritage tiles we used to play with back in the good ol' days. Your tiles take the quality of hand drawn tiles to a whole new level! Cheers SL - thanks for checking out the mugs and t-shirts! I'm sure I'll get around to making some monster figures myself at some point. I'm adoring these by Sammo. Here's a mock-up - may not be exact scale - perhaps it'll be part of the cover (bases not depicted). The room looks great and I love the eye-bally demons. Congrats guys. Love the look of the new tiles. They remind me a lot of Advanced HeroQuest (which is imo a great thing). Nice looking monster flats too! Advanced HQ, WHQ, Dungeon Floor Plans and The Warlock of Firetop Mountain board game are all very big influences. Thanks for positive comments, guys. Dryw, apologies for the silence, I'll be chatting to you soon about figures for the 'Chapel' - I hope. Soon, soon, this will be released - with instructions n stuff. Don't worry, I'm a patient person. Real life often interupts my projects and I seem to always be behind in what I want to get done, so I understand. I just downloaded my copy from Wargame Vault. Outstanding job! Outstanding! Hm, didn't know these had already been released! Only just released! Just about to post about it now. I just got mine! I use the word AWESOME a lot, but I can't think of a better word to use.

The changes in the plan of St. Peter's in Rome also exemplify the changes in style from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. If you look at the overall changes in form they actually become more and more ornate, complex and even theatrical in design as we move through the periods. Form: The Plan of St. Peter's goes through several radical changes over time. It started as a basilican tau plan ("T" shaped) in 315 CE. When Pope Julius ordered the original building torn down Bramante designed the building to be based on a Greek cross central plan. Unfortunately, Bramante's design was a little unstable and Sangallo redesigned the plan. Sangallo and Michelangelo both thickened up the walls and slightly simplified Bramante's original design. Michelangelo also redesigned the dome and the facade of the structure. His design was to create a more egg shaped or pointed dome than Bramante's original design because the shallow half sphere of Bramante's design was structurally a bit unstable. Michelangelo's design was then completed by Giaccomo della Porta in 1590. Carlo Maderno St. Peter's facade 1605 Form: Maderno's facade is almost the perfect example of the term "Baroque." It is extremely complex and uses a classical vocabulary but with some very Mannerist twists. The facade of the structure is really a combination of two facades. The pediment above the central doors is too far down the building. This is very similar to Palladio's design for the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice. Begun 1566. Initially the facade appears to have a symmetrical standard formula for Corinthian order buildings but over all the combination of the forms is irregular. St. Peter's has the mark of almost every important Italian artist from the 1500's to the 1700's. Even when the chance to redesign the over all structure or even the exterior facade, Gian Lorenzo Bernini still took it upon himself to redesign, or at least redecorate the interior of the structure. There are many places where Bernini's has redesigned tombs, stairways and altars. The two most important are Bernini's Baldacchino 1624-1633 or canopy located directly under the dome at the crossing and his Cathedra Petri 1656-1666 (Chair of St. Peters) located in the eastern apse.

And the words are gently falling." The Tango has been a favorite Finnish music and dance for most of the 20th Century, and every year a Tango Queen and King are chosen in competition, and Finland has a National Tango called Satumaa. This phenomenon is unique in the Scandinavian countries, possibly due to the Finns' love of romantic music. Finnish music often concerns the beauty of their country or the lost mythical land of Karelia. There was a revival of tango music in the 1950's and 60's, and when rock music came along, Finland became more or less divided between Tango (and Humppa, a kind of two-step) in the north and rock in the south. This line went from roughly Vaasa to Kouvola. There are hundreds of music and song festivals throughout Finland in the summer that attract musicians and visitors from all over the world. No matter what type of music is your interest, you will find a concert somewhere in Finland, especially in the summer. Historical music mp3's: Metsäkukkia and Valssi menneiltä Ajoilta by Viljo Vesterinen, and Lasse Pihlajamaa, 1950. Karelian Music today is played on both sides of the border with Russian Karelia. Similar instruments in pre-WWII Karelia - northeast Ladoga area. Oldies, and lots of them! Yes!

Home » tonsillectomy » Does Tonsil Removal Negatively Effect a Person's Body/Immune System? Does Tonsil Removal Negatively Effect a Person's Body/Immune System? Tonsils are basically lymph nodes that are on the surface (of the mouth) where they can be seen. Most lymph nodes are located under the skin where they can be felt, but not directly visualized. As such, tonsils are part of the body's immune system which helps to guard against infections. Indeed, tonsils are known to produce antibodies. So this begs the question of what adverse effects may result from tonsil removal? If there are any negative effects, how severely is it impacted? What part of the immune system? Between 1971-2014, 35 research studies were performed to try and answer these questions. Collectively, 1997 patients were included and meta-analysis performed. The ultimate conclusion was that tonsillectomy surgery does not cause any immune system harm. The studies were performed by obtaining a large variety of immune function testing both before and after tonsil removal surgery and see if there's any significant change. The tests obtained included antibodies (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgA), complement system factors, and cellular immunity. Only 4 out of 35 studies involving 406 patients suggested a possible negative effect on antibody levels produced by the immune system (significant decrease in antibodies after tonsillectomy). However, it was felt that this decrease rather than signifying an iatrogenic immunodeficiency, was more a reflection in the reduction in antigenic stimulation (given chronic tonsillitis was the most common indication for tonsillectomy). Basically, by removing chronically infected tonsils, there was less need to produce antibodies given the germs are now "gone" much like how the US military would reduce the number of soldiers in active duty during peacetime vs during war. Perhaps the most provocative study to prove that removing the tonsils has no affect on the immune system is the incidence of graft vs host disease as well as infection rate in patients who undergo tonsillectomy prior to bone marrow transplantation. It was interesting to see that tonsillectomy had absolutely no impact given the studied group is quite vulnerable from an immune standpoint. However, a study published in June 2018 suggests that there IS an increased long-term risk of upper respiratory, infectious, and allergic disease. This just goes to show that this surgery should be performed only when it is truly necessary and not when the condition is not too severe! The role of adenotonsillectomy in graft-versus-host disease. Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. 76 (1) (2012) 57–60.

Equality 17 Consensus Conference is the highlight of a year-long campaign to support young people to become involved in actions and initiatives that build equality and make Ireland a fairer society for all. The conference will bring together expert speakers, equality based organisations and will provide a space for delegates to learn, connect and get involved in issues that affect them, through practice based workshops, TED style talks, an exhibition space, creative fair, entertainment and much more. This event is open to young people and those working with young people, who want to become more active in supporting equality in Ireland. It will also be of benefit to those who support youth involvement in equality, and those involved in equality issues who want to engage with young people. This interactive workshop facilitated by the Irish Wheelchair Association will support participants to build awareness around issues of disability. This workshop will introduce the Work to Learn job experience programme for young people. The programme employs a youth work approach to support marginalised young people in developing self-esteem, finding pathways to work and strengthening their engagement in mainstream education. This workshop will introduce participants to the STATUS Toolkit, a resource which enables youth workers to facilitate greater engagement with young travellers and understand the needs of one of the most marginalised groups of young people in Ireland. We know that young people want to be part of actions and initiatives that support equality and make Ireland a fairer society for all. The Exhibition Space and TED style stage will allow delegates to link in and learn more about key equality issues in Ireland and how they can become more involved. Creative Fair: Change - Make Creative Fair!

Tomas Koolhaas, film still from REM, Rem Koolhaas gives a press conference as director of the 2014 Venice Biennale. Courtesy of the artist. REM is the first documentary about Rem Koolhaas to meaningfully explore how his buildings are used by people, and how planning for this usage affects his working methods and theories. The film gives meaning to the architecture by showing how it interacts with human beings—something that is often lost in the heady intellectual discourse of architecture documentaries. The resulting film is more accessible, more visually and emotionally evocative, and more able to show the architecture as a "living" entity rather than an empty, iconic sculpture. The film is directed by Tomas Koolhaas, Rem's son. Koolhaas has a background in directing and cinematography, studying both at the Los Angeles Film School. He has subsequently worked mainly as a cinematographer in the Los Angeles film industry for the past twelve years. During that time he has filmed projects of all types and genres, many of which have featured at film festivals around the world.

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge and future Queen of England, is reportedly pregnant with twins! But beware: the sleaziest tabloids and Web sites are reporting the story as true, despite a strenuous Palace denial. Pregnancy rumors began almost with her royal marriage to Prince William , the premise being that Kate is under pressure to produce an heir. Back in the days of King Henry VIII, a queen could lose her head for falling short on that score. But, yes, England has progressed since then. Undoubtedly, one day the rumor will prove true. But until then, it’s a juicy headline that sleazier tabloid magazines and Web sites use to dupe readers. It may be intellectually dishonest, but, hey, a rumor is a rumor right? And who knows it could be true. In this case, the rumor can be traced back to the always suspect tabloid Star magazine. That’s a red flag right off the bat. But that didn’t stop Hollywoodlife.com from running a huge story, repeating the claim verbatim, or a dozen other unreputable Web sites. (Note: HollywoodLife ran a one paragraph “update” noting the Royal family’s stern denial at the bottom of the page). But the blazingly false headline remains. What makes the story even more incredible is that Kate is reportedly pregnant with twins! A first for the royal family. Two tabloids herald false pregnancy story. The Star, of course, has unnamed sources to back up the story. “William almost collapsed with joy — and relief — when Kate called to tell him she was pregnant,” the source claimed. But a spokesman for the Royal family put the kibosh on the story. In the Past, The Star also claimed that Britney Spears was pregnant (she was not) and that Renee Zellweger had gone so far as to install a nursery (she had not), according to GossipCop. In any event, it’s not the first time, nor likely the last that Kate’s pregnancy will be erroneously reported. London’s Weekly World News, reported the same rumor just five days after the marriage, which means Kate would have had to have been pregnant out of wedlock. InTouch magazine also claimed Kate was pregnant. Apparently someone is firing blanks.

The world of videogames includes a number of unsolved mysteries, however one particular mystery seemed nothing more than a Chinese whisper. A rumour. A hoax. For years people have talked about how hundreds of copies of the Atari title 'E.T. The Extra Terrestrial' game (which massively flopped at retail) could have been buried in a landfill site. The Angry Video Game Nerd has even featured this tale as the main storyline for his upcoming film. Turns out, it's true! Microsoft are busy recording a documentary on the subject and managed to negotiate an excavation of the landfill out in New Mexico. Low and behold, they found a fair number of copies of the infamous title, mixed in with a number of other Atari titles of the time including Centipede and Space Invaders. You can find out more information about the documentary and the discovery of the lost cartridges at this link. Images courtesy of Major Nelson's Twitter feed.

It’s undoubtedly the exhibit of the year––yes, even considering Anna Wintour’s blockbuster upcoming event at the Met. This one beats all, hands down. For fanatics, the not-so-fanatical and everyone in-between. I’ve been electrified ever since so go prepared to buzz with aftershocks for some time afterwards. Read my review for FashionUnited here .. I saw this in Bologna last year. It was fantastic! I am a fan of Bowie but I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Those guys at the V&A did a fantastic job.

A TEENAGER was rescued in Elche after falling from the roof of a building on to an adjoining factory. The Vinalopo Baix fire rescue department attended the scene and helped get him down after he fell from a roof of a building in Calle Maximiliano Thous after an antenna suddenly broke. He fell on to another roof but the cement roof of the factory withstood the blow and the young man escaped the three metre fall unhurt but was unable to get down, requiring assistance.

Well, amen! How true. And a current example that proves, with a vengeance, what Brandeis feared, is a bill (S.2099) introduced by U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) which would, among other things, tax and register our handguns. His legislation would treat handguns much as machine guns: (1) require the registration of handguns in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer record; (2) provide for the sharing of registration information with Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies; (3) provide for the imposition of the five dollar transfer tax on handguns and a $50 tax on the making of each handgun. Q: What evidence would you cite that any gun control law has ever worked? A: “Well, I think some evidence is the original Federal laws that regulate the registration of machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and silencers. There’s not a proliferation of those weapons on our streets, not anything compared to the handguns that are awash in the United States. Q: OK. But, let’s stop on this one. Is there a study you can refer me to that shows the registration law you just mentioned actually reduced crime? Q: But, do you know of any evidence that this registration law you mention has reduced machine-gun crime? I didn’t know there was a lot of this. Q: You don’t think Al Capone really obeyed that law do you? Note: Several weeks after this interview, Reed’s office failed to produce any evidence that the anti-machine gun law he mentions had any impact on the crime rate. Q: Brady. You were going to mention the Brady Law. Q: I press you on this gun control laws issue because my pre-supposition is that behind all such laws is the desire to reduce crime, reduce the illegal use of guns, right? Q: Yeah, that’s what I mean. Q: The Journal of the American Medical Association has recently published a detailed study which shows there is no evidence the Brady Law has had any effect on gun crime, on homicides. Are you familiar with this study? Q: Which started before Brady, actually. A: “Yeah. And I would be the first to say that crime is not a single factor phenomenon. It’s a whole bunch of things. But, again, in trying to be not as analytical and scientific, but just in terms of human behavior, the ease of obtaining weapons is such that there’s a higher likelihood that something before, you know, a scuffle between kids could escalate now to a shoot-out. Q: How old? What are you calling a kid? Q: I think anecdotes are important. They are real life. But, what law would have stopped this? Q: I don’t think any law would have stopped that. Q: But, criminals are not going to commit crimes with guns registered in their own names. A: “Well, but the point is, and one of the points of this legislation (S. 2099) is that this will allow law enforcement officials to better be able to trace weapons used by criminals in crime. “And I think the proto-typical person that we all want to see exercise their rights as Americans to... and one right is to own weapons — are homeowners, people who are recreational shooters or hunters, those people will register their weapons, et cetera. Q: But, if we agree, as we did earlier, that gun-control laws are supposed to stop crime, your supposed benefits of registration come after a crime is committed. So what? So what if you find out who a gun is registered to? I know of no evidence that registration has prevented crime. Do you? Q: But, when has a registration law ever reduced violent gun crime? A: “Well, I would say the law we have on the books now on registration has significantly limited access by criminals and other people to machine guns, silencers, and sawed-off shotguns without effecting the rights of law-abiding Americans to own these weapons. This might be the only correlation you can safely make. “Here’s the scenario (re: S. 2099): This law passes and some law-abiding American registers their handgun at home. There’s a domestic dispute and someone uses the weapon to hurt someone else. Q: But, why would your registration law stop a thief from breaking in and stealing a gun since the gun would not be registered in the name of the thief? Why would a thief care about this? Q: But, why would a criminal care if the gun he steals is registered to someone else? Q: But would a criminal really commit a crime with a gun registered in his own name? Q: Right. And that’s why they are criminals! Because they don’t care what the law says! Q: Your car-gun registration analogy is interesting. But, I wonder if registration has actually deterred car theft since within hours after many cars are stolen they are chopped up and sold for parts and/or they are on a boat being shipped to Brazil. Q: Exactly. But, the burden of proof is on those who argue that gun-control laws have been effective. Q: Do you agree that under the Second Amendment individuals have the right to keep and bear arms? Q: What would you say to someone who would say that what you are advocating [in S. 2099] are the kinds of infringement the Second Amendment prohibits? Aren’t registration of and taxing of guns an infringement on the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms? Q: Well, there’s no doubt Congress has been violating our Constitutional rights for a long time! See what I mean? Sen. Jack Reed is without understanding. He has no evidence that any “gun control” laws have ever worked. He’s obviously not familiar with the most detailed study which shows that Brady has been a flop. Nor is he familiar with the rise in violent crime in England following its gun ban. He’s introducing a law which clearly “infringes” on our rights under the Second Amendment. But, he denies that taxing and registering are infringements! The Senator is precisely the kind of person Associate Justice Brandeis warned us about.

Preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, toss potato slices with 1 TBSP olive oil, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Evenly spread the potato slices on one of the baking sheets in a single layer and roast until soft (but no color) about 13-14 minutes. Set aside and cool. In the same bowl, toss zucchini slices with 1 TBSP olive oil, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Spread the zucchini slices on the other baking sheets in a single layer and roast until soft about 10-12 minutes. Set aside and cool. In the same bowl, toss red onion with 1 TBSP olive oil, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Spread the onion on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly spread the onion pieces in a single layer and roast until lightly soften about 10-12 minutes. Set aside and cool. For the cashew “ricotta cheese”: Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a sauté pan. Add onion and garlic and cook over medium-low heat until golden and soft but not browned. Blend cashews, 2 TBSP olive oil, water, lemon juice, cooked onion and garlic mixture, salt and pepper in a high speed blender (such as Blendtec or Vitamix) until completely smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Preheat the oven to 450F. Check the dough instructions of the package. Cover kitchen countertop space with plastic wrap where you will work on the dough. Sprinkle some flour and place the dough. Using your hand, form a lip around the edges of the pizza. Stretch the dough into a round disc, rotating after each stretch. Place the dough onto a pizza pan, lined with parchment paper, or pizza stone. Spread pesto evenly onto the pizza. Spread 1 cup of cashew ricotta cheese on top of the pesto paste. In a small bowl, toss kale with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Distribute kale evenly over the top of the pizza. Distribute potatoes and zucchinis evenly over the top of kale. Evenly sprinkle Sweet Earth Tuscan Savory GroundsTM. Spread (12) 1TBSP dollops (total 3/4 cup) of cashew ricotta cheese evenly. Spread cherry tomato halves. Sprinkle some salt and drizzle with 1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil. Brush the rim of the pizza with 1 TBSP olive oil. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through and golden brown. Sprinkle red pepper flakes and fresh kale (optional) and parsley onto the pizza. Add extra dollops of cashew ricotta cheese if desired. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!

When buying a home, the buyer always has closing costs to consider, if using a loan to purchase the property. And negotiating with the seller to cover a specific amount of closing costs does not mean all the additional costs can be paid by the seller. Certain lending guidelines must be followed to ensure the proper amount of money is accounted for in the offer. When a seller pays closing costs, the money to pay those costs comes from the sale of the home – also known as the seller’s proceeds. So a seller is quite likely only interested in the bottom line. However, let’s also remember that a seller may decide against including credits to cover a buyer’s closing costs and prepaid expenses. Having sufficient cash reserves can ensure a successful and smooth closing process. Learn how to buy, and then execute your strategy. Be smart. Ask us how – we can help!

Get the power and connectivity your Sonos system deserves, with the flexible Sonos Amp. If you love Sonos but want to keep and integrate your own high quality speakers, then the Sonos Amp is for you. With a mighty 125 watts per channel, it’s ideal for all speakers, including floorstanders and installation speakers. A wide range of inputs also make the Amp ideal for connecting a TV, games console, turntable (with phono pre-amp) or other music device. With a mighty 125 watts per channel, the Amp is over twice as powerful as the Sonos Connect Amp. This level of power makes all the difference with inefficient speakers or for when you’re running larger speakers that need to fill a big room with immersive sound. For even more bass, use the sub output to connect your choice of powered subwoofer. The Sonos Amp isn’t just about power, it’s about sound quality, too. Featuring a Direct-digital feedback amplifier with discrete output stage, the Amp uses separate components for the highest quality sound and lowest distortion. Obsessive attention to detail even runs to black, painted circuit boards. These radiate heat better, keeping the Amp cooler for longer. A handy HDMI socket makes it easy to connect your TV. If you’ve no spare HDMI socket on your TV, then purchasing an optional Sonos optical to HDMI convertor lets you use the TV’s optical output. For hi-fi sources, the Amp has a set of line level RCA phonos. These are perfect for a CD player, turntable (with built-in phono pre-amp) or any other music source with a line level output. Use the award-winning Sonos app to play all your music in all your rooms. Compatible with not just the music stored on your device but also over 80 streaming services, the Sonos app is the only music app you need. Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play Music, Tidal, Napster and Deezer are just a handful of the most popular services supported. Sonos gets better when you add more speakers. Play a movie in your living room, a podcast in the kitchen or the same music across all your Sonos devices – flexibility is key. The latest Sonos components link via your home Wi-Fi but for very best results, linking one component to an Ethernet connection will allow you to take advantage of the famous Sonos 'Mesh' system. If you’d prefer to use Apple’s AirPlay instead of the Sonos app, then that’s not a problem with the Amp. AirPlay connects via your home’s Wi-Fi and lets you effortless stream audio from your Apple Mac, iPhone, iPod and other many other compatible devices. With its smooth good looks, the Sonos Amp is designed to look every bit as good in years to come as it does now. Yet Sonos have taken the idea of design longevity further by engineering in the ability to update the electronics through future software updates. Simply connect to an Amazon Echo or Google Dot device over Wi-Fi and the Sonos Amp becomes part of your voice controlled smart home system. Make your Sonos system even more versatile, with the powerful and talented Sonos Amp. Rated 5 out of 5 by 016laya from Best customer/after care service Best customer/after care service I have ever received. Although John Lewis offer the same warranty I would only use richer sounds from now on. Rated 5 out of 5 by Dm_hall from These guys are the best! Bought a set of Sonos speakers and the Richer sounds guys were super helpful, talking me through the options and giving me a great price. The long guarantee is brilliant also. Rated 5 out of 5 by DomP from Great Amp! I was looking for a new amp to plug into my existing Arcam CD player and floorstanding speakers. I nearly went ahead with the connect Amp, but the staff at Richer Sounds gave me a great demo in their lounge and even though I stretched the budget, it was worth it! The Amp is fantastic and all the songs I now play are so clear. I can also link the Amp into my playbar and the sound is extremely impressive! Rated 4 out of 5 by SimonPuk from Easy to set up & great sound I have only had this a few days & it’s integrated itself nicely into my home system. Easy to set up & control with the all important HDMI connection. Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Sonos Amp & Speakers Recently bought a Sonos Amp and speakers, the staff knew their stuff and I received a very competitve price. They price match as well which is useful. I would highly reccommend. Sonos AMP (Black) is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 9.

Zenial is a musical veteran who started quite long time ago as a teenager within late 90s demoscene oscillating in experiments on the basis of experimental drum\drill n´bass, simple tracker software available at that time – cross referenced by inspirations of wide flux of electronic music,IDM, records blending it all with neophyte´s and partisan experiment ruling on its own set of principles as for sound and composition. Throughout all those years you could see his evolution drifting to other terrains and never being s,happy with outer underground musician status – he started to challenge himself more and more by collaborating with different artists within scheme of audio art and sound design. His remixes soaked in hard step cold ghost of post-techno experiments made the way to more free form experiments on the verge of drone\noise\impro. His current cd, put out by Zoharum sets out a new course after few years of his absence and presents the Picture of a solid base of his activity – drone mixed up with sizzling repetitous noise. Field recordings with walls of highly magnetized outbursts of blast through laptop and devices´ interfce. The whole blend served in decent graphic attire which makes a strong sense of encounter with a mature artist who knows how to explore his own domain through self-made language built on his experience. Steady dose of noise whıch involves the listener and shows diversity of means.

There's a problem in object-oriented programming: equality and polymorphism don't generally get along. Specifically, extra state introduced in subclasses breaks important properties of equality like transitivity. I have an idea for a solution in Effes which, though I'm sure isn't novel, I haven't seen in other languages. But first, I'd like to take a post to explore some aspects of the problem. Consider two classes: Ball and WeightedBall extends Ball. A Ball has one piece of state, radius; two objects are equal if they're both balls with the same radius. A WeightedBall adds another piece of state, weight. How does this factor into equality? In a language like Java, there aren't any great solutions to this. Either you require that both objects have exactly the same class, so that a Ball is never equal to a WeightedBall; or you don't let subclasses add state to the equality check, so that lightBall5 and heavyBall5 are equal because they only check radius, as specified by the Ball.equals contract. This problem occurs with ordering, too. Java handles this variant by letting you create explicit Comparator classes, so that a Comparator<? super Ball> only checks radius while a Comparator<? super WeightedBall> also checks weight. This also lets you define several orderings, so that you can sort balls by radius, weight, bounciness, or any other property. The Comparator pattern is really the right one. It lets the programmer pick the right ordering for each task, and it makes reflexivity and transitivity easy. The problem is that it's verbose: every method that cares about T's ordering needs to take a Comparator<? super T>, and every class that defines an ordering needs to create a nested class, preferably as a singleton. The Comparator pattern is a step in the right direction, but it does nothing for equality, nor for its close cousin, hashing. If you create a HashSet<WeightedBall>, it can only use the default definition of equals and hashCode that WeightedBall defines — and which must still be consistent with Ball's equals and hashCode. I suppose you could create a Hasher interface similar to Comparator, but nobody does — the JDK certainly doesn't. Your only option is to wrap each WeightedBall in a WeightedBallByWeight object that defines equality/hash. Note that the ordering maintained by a set (whether or not an explicit comparator is provided) must be consistent with equals if it is to correctly implement the Set interface. This means it's virtually impossible to use a Comparator correctly in some cases. If WeightedBall above went with the exact-class approach (so that it can check both radius and weight), you can't create a TreeSet<WeightedBall> with a custom comparator that only checks radius; if you did, you could have two balls that are not equal (same radius, different weights) but can't both be in the set, because the custom ordering says they are equal. Similarly, if you decided to let Ball define the equality interface, so that WeightedBall doesn't check weight, then you can't create a TreeSet<WeightedBall> with a Comparator that also factors in weight. If you did, you could have two objects that are both in the set, and yet are equals to one another! As I teased above, I have an idea for how to solve this in Effes. Stay tuned!

The purpose of this article is to explain the concept of View Profiles and how they can be configured. View Profiles are used to distribute dashboards to users through their Application Role. The View Profile feature allows you to assign specifically constructed dashboards to an Application Role. This means that you can control what each user should see, from a graphical perspective, depending on the Application Role that has been assigned to them. When a View Profile is applied to an Application Role it will become the default view for all users with that Application Role EXCEPT any users who have previously customized their dashboard settings. Customized settings are not overridden by the View Profile. It is possible to force the use of the View Profile, overwriting custom settings, by removing entries from the NSSClient (default name) database. Please contact Northern's Technical Support team for assistance in this procedure (support@northern.net). You will need to copy the NSS PowerShell toolkit from the NSS installation package. It's available in NSS version 9.7 SR2 and later releases. See KB-3150 for more information on how to configure the toolkit and use it as intended. This section explains how to create the View Profile(s). As the initial creation of the View Profile requires that the current NSS Console view is modified, it is highly recommended to make a backup of the current view(s) before changing them. By doing this, you can easily revert back to the original view(s) in case a mistake is made or if an error occurs. The information in the new Grid-View can be copied and pasted to a text-file in order to save it. It is also possible to write the results directly to a text file, be sure to confirm that the strings are not truncated by PowerShell. When you're done customizing your dashboards, save the changes and proceed to step 2. Now you can either update an existing View Profile with cmdlet Set-ViewProfileFromUserView or add a new View Profile with Add-ViewProfileFromUserView. Creating a new View Profile: The PowerShell command below creates a new view profile from the current view named Data Stewards. This view is then stored in the dbo.ViewProfiles table in the NSSClient (default name) database. Editing an existing View Profile: The PowerShell command below edits an existing View Profile named User Views, using the settings from the current view. The entry in the dbo.ViewProfiles table in the NSSClient (defualt name) database is updated. Once the View Profile has been added/updated, it's possible to assign this particular profile to Application Roles. Go the Security Roles section in the NSS Console admin pages and select the Application Role that you want to assign the View Profile to. Click on Edit to generate the box where the changes can be made. Select your new View Profile in the drop-down menu and click on the 'Save'-button. All users that have the Administrator Application Role will now see the previously made Dashboard as their default Dashboard when they log on to the NSS Console. Confirm that your View Profile appears in the View Profile list (as per step 3 above) and that it can be used as intended, i.e. showing the correct widgets and design when logged in with a user that has the Applicaiton Role for which that View Profile was assigned.

After 35 years I’d had enough of renting. Now you have to understand, there is nothing wrong with the Hyde Park Plaza. My neighbors are great. I can always walk into CVS and peruse their newspapers; go over to Antonella’s and have a slice of pizza; amble into Mizu Sushi for lunch; wander to Williams to look just look at hardware or visit the eye doctor to chat about eye diseases in pets. But there’s a downside of being here too. Thirty five years of paying rent and making improvements and where did all that money go? Well I’ve probably paid for the entire shopping center a few times over. And I’ve done major renovations on my office once a decade. Could I have used those funds more productively for enhanced patient care rather than sending it off down a one way street to my landlord? Do you know how many times I’ve had a client say to me “I didn’t know there was a vet up there in the shopping center.” When I was open 1 year, 5 years I understood it. We were new in town. But 35 years later? Well then, why don’t we advertise more? With respect to advertising I’m from the old school of medicine. Doctor’s don’t advertise. They develop a following by word of mouth and by people passing by the office and noticing their shingle. We have done very well by word of mouth. I’m so grateful to the many clients who have told their friends and their friends who have told other friends. We’ve built up a very good clientele in that manner. Growing our practice by walk or drive by has been more problematic. This is not a window shopping plaza. Customers don’t go into Williams to buy a bag of bird seed and then walk along the sidewalk to see what other stores are here. And the view from route 9 while you are driving by is terrible. You can barely see the generic Animal Hospital sign at all. If we spelled out Mid Hudson Animal Hospital it would even be harder to see. The stores are hard to see because they’re set back so far. From the roadway all you view is a sea of asphalt. By the way, the current Hyde Park zoning regulations call for parking to be built behind or along side of any new buildings. That will avoid this look while encouraging trees and other natural landscaping along the road which enhances the beauty of our town. Maybe a sign by the road would be a good idea. Nope. There is just no way to get a sign large enough to show all the stores (not to mention phone numbers) that can be seen from a passing car. How long would you have to stare at this sign to see Mid Hudson Animal Hospital? And where is there room for a phone number? I wanted something close by, convenient to both my clients and my patients AND for me too. Living here is great. I really enjoy being able to bike to work, run home for lunch, and see my clients out and about in the parks with their pets. I needed something visible. No more hiding in a shopping center, preferably right on route 9 or 9G and not far from the center of town. Decision made, I began searching. I quickly saw quite a few potential locations. Not more than two weeks into my search I noticed a new “For Sale” sign on the corner of South Cross Road and Route 9. I had driven past that property every day for the past 30 years and remembered the funky little yellow building that had housed a pizza place, a video store and finally Milligan’s Landscaping. I always felt it would be a great location for a veterinary hospital. As soon as I saw the property I knew it fit the bill. Perfect location, perfect size. The building itself, well, lets see. My first stop the Hyde Park Zoning Department. Can I open a veterinary hospital there? Yes, zoned neighborhood business and I can open without any special use permit. Next stop a meeting with the realtor, tour the property, put in a bid and 3 weeks later the property was mine.

IDMC’s Senior Monitoring Coordinator Adrián Calvo Valderrama and Monitoring Expert Ivana Hajzmanova meet the displaced people living in the PK5 district of the capital Bangui. While in the Central African Republic (CAR) for a workshop on displacement data, IDMC’s Senior Monitoring Coordinator Adrián Calvo Valderrama and Monitoring Expert Ivana Hajzmanova met the displaced people living in the PK5 district of the capital Bangui. They talked to them about their situation, their challenges, the assistance they get - or lack of it - and the discrimination they face. To get to PK5 district in Bangui, the Capital of the Central African Republic (CAR), is not easy nor safe. The majority Muslim district is outside of government control and armed groups rule over everyday life for its inhabitants. Once we get there, we start seeing heavily armed soldiers and armoured vehicles guarding the streets. They are ready to respond to any sign of unrest. We are here to meet the displaced people who have been living in PK5 since 2013-2014 when the crisis in CAR escalated. ‘’We are like prisoners’’, complains Mustafa, the first displaced person to start talking. ”We lived in the countryside but when the conflict became too bad, we had to flee to the bush where we spent 46 days in hiding. Then cars came and took us to Bangui, to PK5.” Stories of other people we talk to are similar: they were taken to PK5 and their life went from bad to worse. They have been living in deplorable conditions, with insufficient humanitarian assistance. These people feel abandoned and forgotten. They have been displaced for years and, as a result, are often left out of official or humanitarian registries, as they are considered to have integrated with the local population. Many are thinking about returning home. In many cases, however, the situation ‘at home’ is too insecure or unstable and they would risk another forced displacement at best. Most of the country is still controlled by armed groups which fight for control and resources which makes the security situation extremely volatile. The internally displaced people (IDPs) of PK5 are largely Muslim and come from within Bangui but also from the countryside and the Peulh pastoralist community. They feel discriminated against by the local authorities and the community who tend to leave them out of registration lists in order to attract more humanitarian assistance for the original inhabitants of PK5. Violence against the Muslim community is often indiscriminate. In early January, reports of an, allegedly, Muslim man causing a road accident led to the killing of four people at random in the busy market of PK5, as reprisal. Four Christians were also killed in response, illustrating the seemingly endless tensions between the communities. Tensions that, by all accounts, did not originate in cultural or religious differences, but were made to fall within that simplistic framework to help fuel support for each of the many groups involved in the conflict. “The young have no future here and we all suffer the consequences” adds Ismail. “The young turn towards banditry because it is the only way to survive here but it creates many other problems.” Banditry is widespread in the district. It serves two main purposes: to defend the Muslim community of Bangui who feel persecuted in PK5 district; and to earn a decent amount of money. The displaced people are frustrated and angry. They are constantly being assessed but their situation does not change. Mohamed, a member of a host family, complains: ‘’I listed 1,000 people who live in the neighbourhood and need assistance. Only two people received aid. Only two. And that is only because I know the local mayor.’’ Humanitarians present in PK5 understand the anger but there is not much they can do as they have to take into account official government registries for the aid distribution. The only solution is close collaboration with the government and insistence on fair IDP accounting. Seeing how bad the conditions already are, we cannot possibly imagine how much worse it can get during the rainy season when everything becomes muddy and precarious shelters cannot withstand the rains. With every new rainy season, vulnerabilities of the displaced population grow along with their frustrations. Before we leave, the people we talked with seek reassurance that we are not just more people who come, ask questions, write an article and leave without bringing any change to their lives. As IDMC does not work in humanitarian response, we cannot promise anything. The only promise we can make is that we will inform others about their plight and hope it will have an impact. Of course, that is not the answer they want to hear. On 2 February, two days after we leave PK5, 14 armed groups who control about 80 per cent of the country’s territory and the CAR government reach a peace agreement in Khartoum, Sudan. The two parties finally found a consensus on how to divide the power and whether to grant amnesty for some of the many crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in the country. Just the day before, the UN Security Council agreed to consider lifting the arms’ embargo that has been imposed on the country since 2013, if the government meets benchmarks in managing weapons, disarming armed groups and reforming its security sector. Despite those positive developments, we need to remain cautious. All previous peace agreements eventually failed, and it remains hard to believe that the government, at the brink of failed state status, if not over it, will not use the ease on the embargo to purchase more weapons to wage offensives against the armed groups. As a consequence, we are leaving the displaced people behind with little hope for peace in their country and uncertain promise of humanitarian assistance being delivered any time soon.

Singlepoint Inc(OTCMKTS:SING) has been running up the charts in recent weeks since reversing off a penny at the end of December. On January 16 SING announced the launch of PHYTO-BITES on SingleSeed.com. The company’s subsidiary SingleSeed.com has added a new vertical to its robust product line up. Serving pet owners with a brand-new offering that is formulated to reduce stress, pain, separation anxiety and inflammation. PHYTO-BITES is manufactured and supplied by CBD Unlimited formerly (Endexx) (OTC:EDXC). The two companies are working collaboratively to distribute this product online and in store all over the nation. SinglePoint, Inc (SING) bills itself as a technology and investment company with a focus on acquiring companies that will benefit from the injection of growth capital and technology integration. The company portfolio includes mobile payments, ancillary cannabis services and blockchain solutions. Through acquisitions into horizontal markets, SinglePoint is building its portfolio by acquiring an interest in undervalued companies, thereby providing a rich, diversified holding base. Through SingleSeed, the company is providing products and services to the cannabis industry. In December SING announced in 2018, SinglePoint acquired two companies, which led the company toward significant revenue growth. The company is expecting to top $1 million for 2018 and expects to triple that in 2019 with additional acquisitions and continued growth of current portfolio companies. Previous acquisitions such as ShieldSaver and DIGS continue to grow and provide opportunities for SinglePoint to expand. ShieldSaver has completed its first mobile application to support the company’s efforts. In January the company will launch the service in Sacremento International Airport as well as WallyPark at Denver International Airport. ShieldSaver has many companies in the pipeline to continue growth. The agreement with WallyPark and Sacramento will serve as baselines to the additional opportunities. “ShieldSaver has a massive opportunity to exponentially grow as it provides major value to both customers and the lot owners using our service. We have first mover advantage to take this trojan horse into major account through the US and Internationally as we expand,” states Dan Shikiar ShieldSaver founder. Most recently, SinglePoint has put a heavy push on SingleSeed, which is distributing CBD products via the website SingleSeed.com. For 2018, the company added multiple product listings and has been organically increasing its reach. Cannabis Business Times recently released an article stating, “The hemp-derived CBD market is expected to hit $591 million this year, and, according to a new Brightfield Group report, it may grow 40 times this size—to $22 billion by 2022. SingleSeed.com has steadily increased volume of orders which the company believes will be a major component of increased revenue in 2019. This week the company has been optimizing different landing pages and utilizing tools such a heat maps and A/B testing to target site visitors overall experience to refine and work on increasing conversion as well as site visits. SingleSeed will also continue to add new products and plans to add CBD for pets in the near future. Currently trading at a $25 million market valuation SING is fully reporting OTCBB with little assets, manageable debt and fast growing sales reporting $881,157 in revenues for the 6 months ended September 30, 2018 up from $186,726 for the same period last year. SING is an exciting story in small caps having become fully reporting almost one year ago SinglePoint management has been able to facilitate new funding on terms more favorable to the company. Recently SinglePoint signed a deal to raise up to $5,000,000. As Greg Lambrecht Singlepoint CEO recent commented. “2019 will be a banner year for SinglePoint we are equipped with the proper funding, partners and opportunities to be firing on all cylinders. We as a team expect to position SingleSeed and SinglePoint as market leads in the CBD market. We will be updating on SING on a daily basis so make sure you are subscribed to microcapdaily.com so you know what is going on with SING. Disclosure: we hold no position in SING either long or short and we have not been compensated for this article. It has been very interesting week of coverage. Like to thank all of u gor good investigating reporting of cannabis’ companies.

While people might decry the end of the printed book as nigh, writer, multimedia artist, arts champion and publisher, Judith Miller, defies that notion by publishing charming chapbooks featuring Waterloo Region artists. Under the imprint of Stonegarden Studios, Judith selects local artists and writers and marries their images and text together in beautiful chapbooks, showcasing the talents of both. The images do not explicitly illustrate the text or vice versa, but Judith hopes blending the distinctive, but at times complementary, works will “create new experiences for people and offer a refreshing space where people can step aside from the everyday,” she says. Her most recent publication, Home, pairs printmaker Michelle Purchase with essayist Leslie Morgenson. Etchings of tree houses play with alternative concepts of home while the text illustrates the created sense of home for street-involved people. “In Toronto, Toronto, memories of the street cars caught in Jon Tobin’s paintings play off Bruce Lumsden’s poems about a young boy finding his way in the city,” Judith says. For both pairings, it is much like creating a metaphor. P.S. Judith’s favourite topics of conversation: books, art shows, art techniques and film.

Juxtaposed! Serenity and War. Yes that is a nuclear sub. Sometimes things just don't seem to fit together, like the image here. Out on the Hood Canal on a gorgeous (one of the few) day, sun, no wind and then we notice the floating bridge opening, and this monster came through, escorted by four Coast Guard armed vessels, two large what look like merchant ships loaded with containers that travel beside it and two huge push/pull tugs! We stood off but one of the CG boats came quite close with guns pointed towards us. Nasty! Bangor sub base is not far from us. They do a lot of repairs there and their frequent Canal transits cause a lot of trouble when the bridge has to open and traffic backs up for miles! When a sub goes through, it is open for at least 45 minutes and they always seem to manage to do it at peak traffic time - like Fridays in the late afternoon or Sunday evenings when everyone is leaving the peninsula and heading back towards the ferries and Seattle! The nuts are going along, but slowly. We need to move to a warehouse that can be licensed, but the powers that be don't seem to want to do that yet so it is very frustrating. Especially being here on my own with no one to bounce ideas off. I talked to Ryan for 5 minutes and he comes up with ideas! I think that is the hardest part of this business, being the sole person really involved in it. Although now, the marketing people are maybe coming in as equity partners which means they will be more involved. And hopefully with them, communication will be easier than with Annie, who I don't think reads any emails I send her. Or if she does, doesn't respond. But the whole situation is very frustrating. Ryan and I are getting his old concept back on line - valid, the on line magazines for girls between 15-24 to see pictures of boys. It is not called valid any more, but eyesoulheart - so eye candy (the boys) bare their souls to other girls, get/give advice, talk about boyfriends etc (heart) So Ryan is creating the logo and we are both working on the site so that keeps my mind off being pissed off at other people! Weather has been so/so - cloudy mornings some sun in the afternoon, but I think that we have had our summer and that is soooo sad! Anyway, going to look at laptops today before this old workhorse mac dies on me! That would be catastrophic. Too bad the company won't buy one for me. I'd love to stay with a mac, but they are so expensive compared to a pc so will just have to settle this time around.

Sometimes things are so girly, you want to darken them up…so that is what I did with this look I put together with The Secret Store’s items for Collabor88 and some great hair from Damselfly. Ashia and I also went on a speedy trip to Fashion Fair, all in the intention of getting the follow up skin appliers release for Frida by YS&YS that I have been wearing religiously since the My Attic teaser. Not only did I pick up the skins, but the fantastic bag and shoes that are also in their booth. The oxfords are very much like Doc’s shoes versions, and they have a great hud for changing all the details of the shoes if you get the fatpack. The hud lets you mix and match everything, so you end up making some wonderful combinations. The bag also has a hud that lets you change the inner lining of the bag as it is worn in an open way that is just adorable.

A recalibration for the popular service. If you're a monthly Amazon Prime subscriber, prepare to pay more. The Seattle-based shopping and technology giant is raising the monthly fee for Amazon Prime services from $10.99 to $12.99. The raise comes to an 18 percent increase, bringing the total annual cost of a monthly Prime subscription to $156, up from $132. The yearly lump sum for a Prime membership, however, will not go up from the current $99. The Prime service has proven a revenue boon for Amazon. While the company's main source of income remains Amazon Web Services, and its retail services only bring in slim profit margins, the company released data last year showing how crucial the 80 million Prime subscribers have become to Amazon's bottom line. Amazon Prime started in 2005, and by 2016, Prime sales growth was still running above 40 percent. The money Amazon brings in from Prime nearly covers its net shipping costs, and the increased price for membership might offset shipping entirely. The price hike is something of an about face for the company, which was previously focused on targeting Walmart customers with Prime prices that were as cheap as possible. Originally, however, Prime's yearly price was just $79. In 2014, Amazon raised the price to its current, unchanged, $99. Like those customers who stuck with the service after the previous raise, Amazon is betting that its current monthly subscribers with either suffer the $20 raise, or switch to a yearly plan.

Recently I was asked by Chris Baker of Gamasutra to weigh in on Sony’s attempt to trademark the mark “Let’s Play.” Sony’s attempt has caused some ripples in both gaming and legal circles. There will certainly be more to discuss on this topic as it develops. For now, you can see my comments, and those from some extremely knowledgeable video game lawyers, here.

Earth Day 2013 @SM was mainly celebrated at SM Megamall Event Center. Aside from this, all SM Supermalls nationwide also celebrated Earth Day 2013 @SM and one of them is the SM CITY CALAMBA. Last April 22, 2013, SM City Calamba celebrated Earth Day, in partnership with the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), with the theme, “Earth Day Everyday, Everywhere, for Everybody.” The program started at 10AM at the mall’s Entrance One, where Ms. Odessa Galicia, Mall Manager, gave her welcome remarks, while Ms. Loida S. Humarang, CENRO Officer, presented how organic products help preserve our environment. The event primarily showcased water hyacinth and coconut shell products at its ECO FAIR. Water hyacinth exhibitors, Remdavies Enterprises, presented bags, slippers and baskets among others and even gave a demonstration on how some of them were made, while coconut shell exhibitors, SA’TIN Crafts, bragged their lamps, candle holders, lambanog bottles and more! Actually, Ms. Remia V. Adedoja, President of the Laguna Water Hyacinth Handicraft Producers’ Association, and Mr. Alex G. Batoon, President for Region IV-A’s Designer’s Association.were present during the Eco Fair. Coconut Shell designs by SA’TIN Crafts. In addition, Chef Von Byron M. Ebron, SM City Calamba’s My City, My SM, My Cuisine Grand Champion and owner of Mi Bonitos Restaurant, prepared his very own organic menu of Mixed Greens with Fried Dilis in Kalamansi Honey Vinegre and Vietnamese Spring Rolls and guests were all praises to his “masterpiece”. Now, this is another way for SM to show how it is environmentally friendly, through this Earth Day celebration at all SM Supermalls nationwide.

This apartment block and art gallery in Beirut combines traditional timber and stone cladding with a vertical garden and a bright-red balcony that cantilevers from one of its facades. Local architect Jean-Marc Bonfils designed the East Village complex for gallerist Naila Kettaneh-Kunigk, whose Galerie Tanit occupies the ground floor. During the development process, Bonfils suggested that apartments could be added above the gallery, including 10 two-storey flats, a pair of penthouses and a single-floor home. "The duplexes were designed as lofts because I thought that the theme of a contemporary art gallery would match with these kinds of units," the architect told Dezeen. Due to the restrictively narrow site in an area between the city centre and its eastern suburbs, the tower is arranged as a cluster of three parallel elongated blocks. The staggered formation helps to ensure natural light is able to reach the various levels, while a cantilevered section that extends out towards the street emphasises the building's partly public function. Each section has a distinct character resulting from the various materials applied to the facades. These details complement the diversity of the surrounding urban context and are revealed when the building is viewed from different angles. The lower of the three blocks is clad with a verdant vertical garden that was influenced by a public garden located in the adjacent 1960s Electricite du Liban headquarters. That garden is no longer accessible to the public, so Bonfils wanted to reintroduce a more space-efficient vertical green space that the community could enjoy. "I took into account that the vertical garden of East Village would complete the public garden of the Electricite du Liban building," said the architect, "and the fact that the location is offering the opportunity to designate a gateway to the city of Beirut." The building's exterior is also informed by the materiality of traditional Lebanese architecture, which is expressed in the dark stone and wood cladding applied to the facades. The wood, in particular, references the small houses that can still be found in the surrounding Mar Mikhael neighbourhood. The bright-red metal used to clad a balcony that projects from one unit offers a modern contrast to the familiar materials applied to the majority of the exterior. "East Village is a kind of suprematist composition playing with the paradoxical conditions of today and linking us to a kind of paradigm," said Bonfils. The red box contains a private bar that provides occupants with a panoramic view of the city and the bars of its downtown district. Directly below, on the roof of the block fronted by the vertical garden, is an infinity pool which is lined with glazing so it too offers uninterrupted views of the skyline.

The forex (or foreign exchange) market is the world's largest and most liquid market, with trillions of dollars traded on any given day between millions of parties. For those just getting started in the forex market, one of the first steps is to gain familiarity with some of the more commonly traded currencies and their popular uses in not only the forex market but also in general. Here is a look at six popular currencies with which all forex observers should be acquainted and some of the underlying traits and characteristics of each currency. First and foremost is the U.S. dollar, which is easily the most traded currency on the planet. The USD can be found in a pair with all of the other major currencies and often acts as the intermediary in triangular currency transactions. This is because the USD acts as the unofficial global reserve currency, held by nearly every central bank and institutional investment entity in the world. In addition, due to the U.S. dollar's global acceptance, it is used by some countries as an official currency, in lieu of a local currency, a practice known as dollarization. The U.S. dollar also may be widely accepted in other nations, acting as an informal alternative form of payment, while those nations maintain their official local currency. The U.S. dollar is also an important factor in the foreign exchange rate market for other currencies, where it may act as a benchmark or target rate for countries that choose to fix or peg their currencies to the USD's value. China, for instance, has long had its currency, the yuan or renminbi, pegged to the dollar, much to the disagreement of many economists and central bankers. Quite often countries will fix their exchange rates to the USD to stabilize their exchange rate, rather than allowing the free (forex) markets to fluctuate its relative value. One other feature of the USD that novices in forex need to understand is that it is used as the standard currency for most commodities, such as crude oil and precious metals. Thus, these commodities are subject not only to fluctuations in value due to the basic economic principals of supply and demand but also to the relative value of the U.S. dollar, with prices highly sensitive to inflation and U.S. interest rates, which directly affect the dollar's value. Although still relatively new to the world stage, the euro has become the second most traded currency, behind only the U.S. dollar. The euro is also the world's second-largest reserve currency. The official currency of the majority of the nations within the eurozone, the euro was introduced to the world markets on January 1, 1999, with banknotes and coinage entering circulation three years later. Along with being the official currency for most eurozone nations, many nations within Europe and Africa peg their currencies to the euro, for much the same reason that currencies are pegged to the USD – to stabilize the exchange rate.. With the euro being a widely used and trusted currency, it is very prevalent in the forex market and adds liquidity to any currency pair it trades within. The euro is commonly traded by speculators as a play on the general health of the eurozone and its member nations. Political events within the eurozone can often lead to large trading volumes for the euro, especially in relation to nations that saw their local interest rates fall dramatically at the time of the euro's inception, notably Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal. The euro may be the most "politicized" currency actively traded in the forex market. The Japanese yen is easily the most traded currency out of Asia and viewed by many as a proxy for the underlying strength of Japan's manufacturing-export economy. As Japan's economy goes, so goes the yen (in some respects). Many use the yen to gauge the overall health of the Pan-Pacific region as well, taking economies such as South Korea, Singapore and Thailand into consideration, as those currencies are traded far less in the global forex markets. The yen is also well known in forex circles for its role in the carry trade (seeking to profit from the difference in interest rates between two currencies). Japan has basically had a zero interest rate policy for more than two decades, and traders have borrowed the yen at next to no cost and used it to invest in other higher yielding currencies around the world, pocketing the rate differentials in the process. With the carry trade being such a large part of the yen's presence on the international stage, the constant borrowing of the Japanese currency has made appreciation a difficult task. Though the yen still trades with the same fundamentals as any other currency, its relationship to international interest rates, especially with the more heavily traded currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the euro, is a large determinant of the yen's value. The Great British pound, also known as the pound sterling, is the fourth most traded currency in the forex market. It also acts as a large reserve currency due to its relative value compared to other global currencies. Although the U.K. is still an official member of the European Union, it chose not to adopt the euro as its official currency for a variety of reasons, namely historic pride in the pound and maintaining control of domestic interest rates. For this reason, the pound can be viewed as a pure play on the United Kingdom. Forex traders will often base its value on the overall strength of the British economy and political stability of its government. Due to its high value relative to its peers, the pound is also an important currency benchmark for many nations and acts as a very liquid component in the forex market. Also known as the loonie, the Canadian dollar is probably the world's foremost commodity currency, meaning that it moves in step with the commodities markets – notably crude oil, precious metals and minerals. With Canada being such a large exporter of such commodities, the loonie is very volatile to movements in their underlying prices, especially that of crude oil. Traders often trade the Canadian dollar to speculate on the movements of these commodities or as a hedge to their holdings of those underlying contracts. Additionally, being located in such close proximity to the world's largest consumer base - the United States - the Canadian economy, and so the Canadian dollar, is highly correlated to the strength of the U.S. economy and movements in the U.S. dollar as well. Last is the Swiss franc, which, much like Switzerland, is viewed by many as a "neutral" currency. More correctly, the Swiss franc is considered a safe haven within the forex market, primarily due to the fact that the franc tends to move in a negative correlation to more volatile commodity currencies, such as the Canadian and Australian dollars, along with U.S. Treasury yields. The Swiss National Bank has actually been known to be quite active in the forex market to ensure that the franc trades within a relatively tight range, to reduce volatility and keep interest rates in check. Every currency has specific features that affect its underlying value and price movements relative to other currencies in the forex market. Understanding what moves a currency and why it moves is a pivotal step in becoming a successful participant in the forex market.

The Emerald Pools, a series of spring-fed pools nestled at the feet of Zion's cliffs, are one of Zion's most popular attractions. Between the upper and lower pools, waterfalls flow off a hundred-foot cliff into the lower pool. The cliff curves around the end of the canyon like a sidways arch, and is deeply undercut, allowing the trail to pass between the cliff and the waterfall. The flow of water is small, just a thin ribbon of water, with a shower of drips around it. When there is a breeze, the water will fall unpredictably, often surprising hikers with a sudden shower. After passing under the cliff and the waterfall, the trail loops around to the top of the cliff where two small pools feed the waterfall from above. The Upper Pool is some distance further up the canyon from there, right at the base of thousand-foot cliffs which stand directly overhead.

I have been looking forward to a collaboration between Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na since the Goblin. Their chemistry crackled and her it is. Diving in, watch this post! Yoo In Na is just adorable in this drama, I love her acting as an inept actress. Her scene with the gorgeous Jang Ki Yong, who was a cameo role as an actor, is so brilliant, Based on this first episode alone, which I enjoyed thoroughly, I can totally recommend this as a joyful Kdrama to watch. Anyway, Oh Yoon Seo is the goddess of Korean entertainment but her brilliance had somewhat deemed because of she was involved in a drug use scandal. Suddenly no one wants to know her. Because her persona was of being sweet and pure, her lack of acting prowess was ignored but now with the scandal, no one really wants to hire her services as an actress. Her manager though brought a script when he was visiting her. The script was not meant for her but for another actress. Oh Yoon Seo grabbed the script and started reading it and in her mind eyes can see Jang Ki Yong, tall and gorgeous playing the lead. The scene playing in her mind complete with theme tune was pure Descendant of the Sun. This scene is so hilarious. She suddenly decided that the role was made for her, the lead was her. After all, she did study law in college. Oh Yoon Seo called the writer and arranged a meeting. She badgered the writer to give to the role to her. She promised her everything. The condition by the writer was that she had to work as a secretary in a real law firm for three months. And here she meets a band of zany people, who are nice in their own way, which I like. The CEO of the law firm was her number one fan. He chose Kwon Jun Rok to be her boss. He is quiet and rather taciturn. And told her off for wearing party clothes, completely inappropriate for the office. Oh Yoon Seo though has guts, so she turned up next morning prepared to tackle the secretarial job, having researched the role and duties of one. Oh Yoon Seo is one determined lady. Even the cold Jun Rok is beginning to thaw. He realised how hard it was for Oh Yoon Seo to just overcome the constant gossips, criticism, and failures in her life and not to show negative emotion to the public. Jun Rok is finally giving Oh Yoon Seo a chance to prove herself. He is getting to know her and what he found is someone far from flakey woman as he first thought. Oh Yoon Seo is getting involved more in his cases and she had been quite helpful and rather instrumental in making a taciturn client talks. Their case on episode four is about a girl who thinks she is being stalked by an ex-boyfriend who refuses to accept that they have broken up. Oh Yoon Seo offered to accompany the girl to her apartment to get the SD card or something but she found more than she bargained for. The girl’s ex-boyfriend was hiding under the settee which surprised Oh Yoon Seo so much, it made her scream. The boyfriend became violent as well, thank goodness, Jun Rok listened to his gut instinct and followed the girl to the apartment. Actually Jun Rok found out a bit more of Oh Yoon Seo’s history. She was a victim of a stalker, who was from a very affluent family. When Oh Yoon Seo reported it, it was covered up. And it looks like the case is not over as someone is still monitoring Oh Yoon Seo’s texts to Jun Rok. Oh Yoon Seo was jealous and upset because Jun Rok has already promised to take her to lunch but when Yeo Reum wanted to have lunch with him, Jun Rok canceled out on Oh Yoon Seo. Yeo Reum as a state prosecutor was given the case of a woman who killed her husband due to historical and persistent violence towards her. Jun Rok was the opposing side which annoyed Yeo Reum so much. Yeo Reum said he will never get the client off as she was guilty as hell. Oh Yoon Seo told him that he believe in him and he will win the case. But this may be rather hard to accomplish because it was found that the husband was insured for more than 4 million. Oh Yoon Seo said immediately the she thought so but he was a bit forward and blunt asking her this so soon. Jun Rok asked what she was talking about, she then realised that he was asking her about something else, if she liked pork belly in fact. Awww this time Jun Rok was so jealous of Oh Yoon Seo’s manager, thinking that he was the boyfriend. Jun Rok and Oh Yoon Seo had abit of a problem in the elevator. She got so frightened that Jun Rok had to calm her down and then almost kiseed but was aborted because the lift opened and the engineer was looking at them.

1. Improve your posture. Good posture will give the impression of self confidence (even if you don't feel that way on the inside). While walking, it is always important to maintain a relaxed yet definitive upright posture- spine long, shoulders back. Practicing in front of a mirror is great, also you could ask a friend or family member to help you adjust your stance. This may feel awkward or overpowering to you when you first practice it, but keep trying. 2. Relax the muscles in your face to the point where you have a natural, pleasant expression permanently engraved there. For some people, it helps to dwell on something or someone that makes them happy. 3. Make a connection. When your eyes come in contact with another person's, nod and smile subtly with a subdued joy shining forth. Don't worry about the other person's reaction and don't overdo it. 4. Remember people's names when you meet them for the first time. This takes an enormous amount of effort for most people. Repeat the person's name when stating your name to that person will help you to remember it better. For example: "Hi Jack, I'm Wendy." Follow through with small talk and repeat the person's name. Repeat it once more when you say goodbye. It's not just about helping you to remember that person. The more you say a person's name, the more that person will feel that you like them and the greater the chance they'll warm up to you. 5. Be interested in people. If you meet a new acquaintance, for example a coworker, a classmate, a friend of a friend, etc. find out about their immediate family and interests. Be sure to ask after the names of family members and remember them. Also ask after their particular interests in life. These two topics will ensure much better small talk than just harping on about school or work. Most people don't like to think about those things at social occasions unless they have to. Even if it is about networking, you should understand fully the worth of taking a break from talking shop. It is important to refrain from talking up about yourself. Be purely interested and impressed by the person with whom you are speaking. 6. Orient topics toward the audience. This means taking into account topics that interest those around you, even if you are not so keen on them. If you are in a sporty crowd, talk about last night's game or the meteoric rise of a new team. If you are amongst a group of hobbyists, draw out their hobbies and make remarks related to fishing, knitting, mountain climbing, movies, etc. Nobody expects you to be an expert. It is your level of interest and willingness to engage in topics that makes you an interesting person to be around. Exercise an open mind. Let others do the explaining. If someone mistakenly thinks you know more about the topic, be genuine and simply say that your knowledge is limited but that you are hoping to learn more about it. 7. Praise others instead of gossiping. If you are talking with someone or you are talking in a group of people, and up pops the subject of another person in a positive or negative way, be the one to mention something you like about that person. Hearsay is the most powerful tool in gaining charm because it is always viewed as 100% sincere. It has the added benefit of creating trust in you - "Oh, s/he never has a bad word to say about anyone." They know they and their reputation are safe with you. 8. Be honest. A lie is something you say for which there is some direct evidence somewhere out there that contradicts it. If you tell Mary that you like Jane and Billy that you don't like Jane, Mary and Billy will talk and your reputation will be ruined. No one will believe a word you say. 9. Issue compliments generously, especially to raise others' self esteem. Try to pick out something that you appreciate in any situation and verbally express that appreciation. If you like something or someone, find a creative way to say it and say it immediately. If you wait too long, it may be viewed as insincere and badly timed, especially if others have beaten you to it. If you notice that someone is putting a lot of effort into something, compliment it, even if you feel that there is room for improvement. If you notice that someone has changed something about themselves (haircut, manner of dress) notice it, and point out something you like about it. If you are asked directly, be charming and deflect the question with a very general compliment. 10. Be gracious in accepting compliments. Get out of the habit of assuming that the compliment is being given without genuine intent. Even when someone makes a compliment out of contempt, there is always a germ of jealous truth hiding in their own heart. Be effusive in accepting the compliment. Go beyond a mere "thank you" and enjoin this with "I'm really glad you like it" or "It is so incredibly kind of you to have noticed." These are "compliments in return." Avoid backhanding a compliment. There is nothing worse to a person complimenting than to receive the response "Oh well I wish I was as ______ as you/that situation." That is tantamount to saying, "No, I am not what you are saying I am, and your judgment is wrong." 11. Control your tone of voice. The tone of your voice is crucial. Most people feel insecure somewhere inside and have an inability to accept praise. For this very reason, when you praise, do it subtly and glibly. When you say, "you look nice today" it should be in the exact same tone that you would use to say "it's a nice day." Any variation from your normal tone will arouse suspicion about your sincerity. And since you will be trying hard to be a breezy, caring, happy personality, your eagerness will come across in both simple and complimentary talk. Practice giving compliments into a recorder and play it back. Does it sound sincere? Whether your praise is true or not, it must sound sincere! (It is, of course, far more effective when it genuinely is sincere.) Practice until you get it right. · Always remain relaxed. You want to please other people but you do not worry about what they are thinking. If you do, it will be written all over your face and you will be perceived as a doormat or a people-pleaser - a person with a desperate need for others to like them. And remember, what people are thinking is rarely about you. It is generally about themselves and their to-do lists. · The degree of charm that you possess depends on the creativity of your praise. Say something that is not immediately obvious and say it in a poetic way. It's good to have some premeditated compliments and phrases but the most charming people are able to invent them on the spot. This way, you can be sure that you are not repeating it. · Every so often you will have no choice but to express an opinion that few others hold (to adhere to the honesty policy). You must do it in a humorous way. Humor is the teaspoon of sugar that helps the medicine go down. · Empathy is at the core of charm. If you can't tell what makes people happy or unhappy, you have no way to assess whether you are saying the right or wrong thing. · If you find it tricky to relax your face, start with your shoulders. Are they up near your ears? That's a good sign you're tense. Put them back in place, correct your posture, take in a deep breath and smile. · Never argue. Remember if half of the people who hear your argument agree and half disagree, you have failed at being charming. What you say must be pleasing to 100% of the people who will hear it, whether they hear it directly from you or not. . Be that as it may, remember that arguing is not the same as disagreeing. Feel free to express your opinion, but don't attempt to dominate the person with whom you are chatting. · Never laugh at your own jokes. That smacks of poor taste. The joke ought to stand alone. You can smile generously. And don't worry if no one else laughs at your jokes. Sometimes people just don't hear or understand a joke. It is as embarrassing for them to miss the punchline, and to have to own up to it, as it is for the person giving the joke seeking to wind up a jovial response. · Never over-explain anything. To do this is to belabor a point. Unfortunately, it simply confirms a lack of self-esteem in that you do not trust that others have understood your point. In addition, it displays arrogance in that it demonstrates a feeling on your behalf that your listeners cannot think for themselves. People will listen to you when you cut out unnecessary explanations and force them to be active listeners. Trust that your listeners can put two and two together. · Many people mistake arrogance for charm. In fact, arrogance is anti-charm. Charmers live to please others. Arrogant people live to please themselves. Arrogance only attracts insecure people while charm attracts everyone.

The pressure meter PCE-DMM 60 is a precision instrument of the highest standards. The pressure meter is specifically designed for process monitoring and calibration. This pressure meter is distinguished by its modular concept. This means that the actual sensor and the display can be separated. The pressure transmitter can be selected on site for different measuring ranges and connected to the display without tools. This has the advantage that several gauges can be operated with only one display without the need for recalibration of the pressure gauge. Outstanding measuring characteristics, intuitive operation, and its innovative modular sensor concept distinguish this manometer. The battery-powered digital pressure meter can be used not only for measuring the smallest pressures but also to calibrate transmitters. The integrated data logger can store location, pressure and temperature values in a linear and cyclic way. With the integrated interface and using the optional software, the data can be further processed.

Q. Levy: Why does Sno-Isle Libraries need more money? Library revenues do not keep pace with demands for library service. The library district gets 98 percent of its funding from a property-tax levy in Snohomish and Island counties. State law limits how much revenue from that levy can increase to about 1 percent a year. Even with careful, thoughtful and practical budget management, expenses rise faster than revenue due to inflation, wages and benefits and other factors. The library district created a reserve fund, a savings account, anticipating the time when the funds would be needed. For the past several years, reserve funds were used to balance the budget. The reserve fund will be exhausted by 2019.

A Colorado father accused of killing his pregnant wife and their two young children appeared in court Tuesday to hear the charges against him. Chris Watts, 33, faces five counts of murder, one for his wife and two for each of his daughters, as they were victims younger than 12, according to KCNC-TV. Prosecutors also charged him with one count of unlawful termination of a pregnancy and three counts of tampering with a deceased human body, KUSA reported.

The Israeli government has committed to investing more than NIS 1 million in boosting efforts to encourage Jews from Brazil to move to Israel. Only 191 Brazilian Jews moved to Israel last year while 750 of them are expected to arrive by the end of 2016. Brazilian Olim form the seventh largest group of immigrants to Israel. The Knesset Committee for Aliyah and Absorption announced on Monday evening, February 22 that NIS 1,180,000 will be spent on a variety of programs and initiatives aimed at addressing common problems that Brazilians face after having immigrated to Israel. The money will also go towards increasing the number of Jewish Agency representatives in Brazil to encourage aliyah, provide preparatory aliyah seminars, and to finding full-time employment for new immigrants prior to their move to Israel. Additional emphasis will also be placed on preparing prospective students for the psychometric exams required by universities and on increasing the number of Hebrew courses in Brazil. Committee Chairman and Likud MK Avraham Naguisa called for the improvement of the absorption of Brazilian Jews by increasing the number of Portuguese speakers available to guide them and assist them once they move to Israel. Gladys Berezowsky, manager of the Beit Brasil [Brazil House] organization, highlighted the lack of availability of letters translated to Portuguese from the absorption centers. Berezowsky said that dozens of applications are received daily from people who are interested in making aliyah of whom the vast majority only speak Portuguese. Bruna Drazin, who moved to Israel in 2011 from northern Brazil, told Tazpit Press Service (TPS) that while she already spoke English, many Brazilians struggle upon their arrival in Israel due to the language barrier. “Everything can be hard. Almost all the websites you have are in English and Hebrew and sometimes Spanish, but never Portuguese. Some people think that Spanish is the same, but it really is not. There are many people from Brazil who cannot even read Spanish,” Drazin said. “It can really be a problem when you come here because you do not have any support here in Portuguese,” she added. Zionist Federation representative Oded Foyer said that around fifteen Hebrew language classes will be opened while more teachers will be trained. “Hebrew was a problem for me when I came to Israel. I never thought about creating more Hebrew language classes in Brazil, but it could be a good idea. You leave your profession when you move here and you don’t have the language at all,” Drazin told TPS. Foyer said that the efforts to encourage aliyah will not be restricted to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, but will be made in rural areas as well.

A group of oral health researchers from across Canada recently earned a 5-year $2.1 million Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) team grant for a study that aims to identify markers of alveolar bone loss and potentially develop new diagnostic tools to determine patients at high risk of periodontitis. Three members of the Matrix Dynamics Group (Dr. Michael Glogauer and Dr. Chris McCulloch of the University of Toronto and Dr. Chris Overall of the University of British Columbia) will be joined by Dr. Sergio Grinstein from the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and Dr. Debra Matthews of Dalhousie University as researchers on the project. The researchers will be examining gingival crevicular fluid using mass spectometry to discover and define profiles of protease-modified inflammatory signalling molecules that activate osteoclasts and drive alveolar bone loss. They envision translating this knowledge on biomarkers into diagnostic tools and therapeutics that could potentially prevent bone loss in patients. Currently, no definitive crevicular fluid biomarkers exist for the diagnosis of bone loss associated with periodontal disease at its early stages. The team has already obtained preliminary data for the new study from an existing patient base with well-documented refractory periodontitis. The group’s research on gingival crevicular fluid biomarkers could be applicable to other systems in the body, including joint fluid, which has implications for rheumatoid arthritis.

How Do You Setup Real Estate Investment Companies? Company creation depends on your tax, assets, liability and personal preferences. The big question I am asked, is how to create real estate investment companies for the budding entrepreneur.... How Do You Setup Real Estate Investment Companies? Company creation depends on your tax, assets, liability and personal preferences. The big question I am asked, is how to create real estate investment companies for the budding entrepreneur. The increased rate of tax on ultimate property sales of up to 28% via personal ownership noted above, to as high as a combined rate of 50% via a company, must be set against the number of years of ownership during which the company will save the difference between the rates in personal income tax of up to 45% and corporation tax of only 20% on property rental income. Similarly, if you buy shares in a company and then sell those shares two years later, you would pay a brokerage fee on both occasions. This means the less you invest, the higher the costs will be as a percentage of your total investment.

The Finance Minister says government would focus on improving liquidity for banks through the payment of State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) debts. Ken Ofori-Atta said government would pay debts owed banks over the short to medium-term in line with its debt sustainability framework. Presenting the 2017 maiden Budget Statement to Parliament Thursday, the Finance Minister said creating a strong private sector credit growth is needed to support the nation's medium-term GDP growth to increase productivity and create jobs. The co-founder of Data Bank said government would "streamline the Energy Sector Levy Act, 2015 (Act 899,) (ESLA) to accommodate all the existing legacy debts for the banking and the private sector, which includes energy sector debt, Bulk Distribution Companies (BDCs), and other energy sector related debts." Outlining some specific measures to be implemented in 2017 and in the medium term explained this would ensure that revenue streams from ESLA are properly used to ensure certainty of cash flow for the payments of all corresponding debts. Also, Mr Ofori-Atta said government would "work with commercial banks to ensure that they are able to issue bonds on the back of the streamlined ESLA revenue for immediate liquidity." To reduce systemic risks in the banking sector, he added that the Central Bank would collaborate with government to undertake a number of structural reforms in the banking sector. According to him, there would be an increase in the banking industry’s minimum capital requirements which would strengthen the licensing and regulatory framework. Government is also looking at introducing a risk capital requirements in addition to minimum capital requirements for banks, he disclosed. The Akufo-Addo government would strengthen corporate governance by enforcing the term limits for Board Chairmen and Managing Directors of commercial banks in accordance with the Banking Act. He explained this would also to enhance enforcement of single obligor limit for commercial banks as well as to support mobile money and mobile banking businesses to enhance and expand financial inclusion. Addressing the challenges of Ghana's capital market which the Minister said has been impeded by lack of depth and liquidity, he said the implementation of decisive measures in the short to medium term to deepen the capital markets would increase liquidity and trading activities which would encourage more companies to list. Some specific measures to be implemented to improve capital market performance in 2017 and the medium term include exempt from taxation, the gains from realization of securities listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange or publicly held securities approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There would also be an exemption for the financial services industry from stamp duty for 2 years to enable the re-capitalization of the industry as per the new SEC law. Mr Ofor-Atta said government would also encourage a capital market local content policy that enjoins companies operating in the energy, oil and gas, financial services, telecommunications, and mining sectors to list a minimum percentage of their shares on the Ghana Stock Exchange within 5 years of commencement of operations. Furthermore, government is looking to divest its holdings in some SOEs with a view to ensuring efficiency, which would include the sale of government shares in some SOEs and companies via a listing on the Ghana Stock Exchange. He indicated that they would work with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to develop the regulations governing Asset-backed instruments including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) and mortgage-backed securities and enable the pensions industry to support the development of these assets classes and other alternative investment schemes.

First, some housekeeping. So ya know, complimenting my site in a obviously vague way followed shortly by a link to a commercial site (particularly an adult site) will still be considered spam. Also, spelling counts. This hike in the Cave Creek / 7 Springs trail complex took two attempts. I have drafts of the hike description written for both clockwise and counterclockwise. (The clockwise version is the one in the Guide). I never really learned my lesson about late starts, though after this one I should have. I initially missed the ramp going out of the wash, and followed the wash instead. Lost within the first hour of the hike. I found actual trail at the top of the saddle, after bushwhacking my way up and around the side of the ravine. You’d think I learned a lesson about that sort of nonsense after this hike, but I didn’t. By the time I reached the actual Skunk Tank, the sun was sinking behind the hills, and I had to dig up my headlamp out of my pack. This hike went much better. All the electronics worked, I stayed mostly on the trail, and I started and finished in daylight. I also went counter-clockwise, which meanting starting south down Cave Creek Trail (left), doing the three crossings, and then going up the switchbacks. Here’s a secret – since you’ve gotten this far into the post: I never did a hike specific to the Cave Creek Trail. My description of it in the guidebook is derived from notes taken on this hike and the Cottonwood / Cave Creek Loop. Obviously, most of the photos are from the second trip. Going back down the other way, I found the trail I should have been on in the first place during my first circuit, and duly recorded them in my still working GPS. Either direction, Skunk Tank itself marks your half-way point. My record after this hike was 2-2 vs the Tonto National Forest and/or my own stupidity. I was beginning to wonder if I could really finish the book at that rate. Happily, though, my win percentage steadily improved. This hike, in the western Superstitions was written as an up and back to Fremont Saddle. My actual journey was longer, more complicated, and, after sunset, far more harrowing. My late start is due to hiking the Bluff Springs Loop that morning (see previous post). After climbing the Peralta Trail to Fremont Saddle, I kept going, closer to the base of Weaver’s Needle (that’s the Big Rock Formation) looking for the remains of an old prospector hide-out called Pinon Camp. One Celeste Marie Jones and her gang used to chase folks away from her claim at the base of Weaver’s Neede throughout the 50’s and 60’s. You can reason out where the camp might have been, but there’s no actual remains. Not a bad spot to spend the night, though, if you are so inclined. As far as I know, Lone Pine Lookout is a designation I made up. This is not to claim credit – just to warn you about looking up the name in other sources. If I were going back, I would avoid the “low” route to get there. At about 6:15pm, I was describing the sunset going on behind the cliffs into my DVR. Past there, my notes get sketchy. Cairns are difficult to find in twilight, and nearly impossible to find by LED headlight, unless you get stupid lucky. I have never had that sort of luck. In the end, I followed a ravine down the mountain, negotiating sheer granite boulders ad then thick tangles of scrub-oak, and then more steep boulders. I didn’t take many good notes on that part of the journey. I remember distinctly about 8:30 giving myself 15 more minutes to find some sort of actual trailbefore I cut cut my losses and found someplace to hole up for the night. I wasn’t screwed in that regard: recent rains and left several deep puddles and I still had a power bar in my pocket. And I never hike without a flashlight and at least one extra layer. I would have lived. But 13 minutes later I literally stumbled upon Bluff Springs Trail. Not only did I find the turn I missed that morning, but I made the car intime to catch the last of the Suns game as I drove home. Still, when I wrote not to attmept Cave Trail in the dark – that’s Good Advice From Direct Experience. Worst Bushwhack Ever. A great loop of several connecting trails in the western Superstitions. I had originally planned a longer loop, taking the Terrapin Trail around Weaver’s Needle and returning via the Peralta Trail, but a mile into the hike, I realized that I had left lunch in the car, and revised my route to very close to what ended up in the guidebook. Heading down towards the trailhead, I missed the turn at the edge of the ridge, and ended up sliding down a little goat trail to get to the TH. Oddly, I found that turn later on that day, returning from the Peralta hike (see next time) in the dark. Back at the Peralta TH, I helped jump someone’s car, and when I refused cash, they offered me some fruit, which I accepted, supplementing an otherwise meager lunch.

Perhaps one of the most common complaints of gaming on mobile devices is trying to control them with a touchscreen. It’s possible to become good at games using only touch controls, but it seems to be generally agreed upon that nothing can replace the feel of pressing a physical button; it’s that tactile response that makes the whole gaming experience much more satisfying than pounding your fingers on a flat screen. The problem is that game controllers usually don’t try to be compatible with mobile devices; they’re either for consoles or for computers. But with the rise of mobile gaming, this needs to change. This is why we now have the MOGA mobile gaming system, a game controller designed specifically for smartphone gaming. It gives you the feel of a traditional handheld gaming console without sacrificing what makes it a smart device. MOGA mobile gaming system can be called the best Android game controller in the market. The button layout is designed to mimic modern consoles with its two analog sticks, placed on the top-left and bottom-right parts of the controller, four main buttons (A/B/X/Y) above the right analog stick, three extra buttons on the left, and two shoulder triggers. It has just about all the buttons you need (and then some) for any smartphone game to function well. While the button layout looks nice and standard, the shape of the gamepad leaves a little bit to be desired. It’s mostly a flat surface with handle grips on the left and right-hand sides. It’s reasonably comfortable, but it doesn’t compare to the designs of modern console and PC controllers. As part of its dedication to smartphone gaming, it also includes a mounting bracket for your phone. You place it on top and the bracket will hold it in place fairly well, so that you only need to concentrate on holding the controller. Watch MOGA Mobile Gaming System video review below. This Android gamepad works by connecting to your phone via Bluetooth. This means that the controller unit is separate from your mobile device, so you are not required to use the mounting bracket. Still, one downside is that the constant use of Bluetooth will likely drain your battery more quickly, moreso than it already drains from running the game. Unfortunately, for the sake of compatibility, this is largely unavoidable. They certainly could have gone the route of making it use a mini-USB plug instead, but not all phones will support it in a case like this. As a nice little side bonus, a purchase of the controller also includes free downloads of two different games that usually cost money. Obviously this is being done to promote the product, but it’s nonetheless something worth mentioning, and adds value to the controller. The gamepad itself requires 2 AAA batteries, which are not included. This is to be expected for a completely wireless controller, but what would have been even better is if it were rechargeable. Alas, this is not the case. Still, it very much works as advertised, and tends to be quite responsive. It’s especially useful for games that use more traditional play styles, like ports of older games onto mobile platforms (such as the included Sonic CD game), emulators, platformers, 3D games, and so on. Best of all, at $23 it’s hardly going to break the bank.

What’s got you so torn up and confused? It’s my fault, Pop. I make more money than he does. I just didn’t realize how that must eat on a man. His pride. I suppose it makes him feel Games Inferior is the word. I guess you’re right. But that’s going to be different. I’m quitting my job tomorrow. We’ll live on what he makes. After all, Pop, you raised a whole family on a policeman’s salary. It just means cutting a few corners. The only thing that really worries me besides the letter Games Games it probably doesn’t mean a thing I found this by the telephone. What would he be doing with an attorney’s card? Penrod Biddel? Did you forget your key again, darling? Darling, you never gave me one. What are you doing here? Visiting. I didn’t expect you. Did you expect me to be somewhere else? Not exactly. I’m an ex Game magician. Always look for the unexpected. Now that you’re here, Hayes, I’d like to have a talk with you. What for, Mr. Biddel? To tell me how you picked me up out of the gutter and made something out of me? And how I agreed never to do a job you didn’t assign me? Exactly. You’re becoming too ambitious, Hayes. Maybe. Why, Hayes? Could be I’m tired of doing all the work. You’re wrong. All the work is done up here. And muscles are cheap, huh? Yes, I can buy all the brawn I want. Anywhere anytime. Game Would you mind if I did my own thinking from now on? I would mind very much. Well, I guess you’re going to miss me. That’s about what I was going to tell you. Game No kidding. Game Yeah. You’re going to fire me, huh? Game I can build persons up and Games Game You can tear persons down. I understand you’re planning a big job for tonight. It’s done. Done? It wasn’t easy. You’re a very smart man, Mr. Biddel. For a man as smart as you I can’t figure why you keep such important papers in your bedroom safe.

“How a Title I school used Sangha to drive parent engagement” from Sangha on Vimeo. Introducing Kristin Burt, principal of LUCHA Elementary, a title 1 school in East San Jose that’s been distinguished as a 2016 California Gold Ribbon School. Mrs. Burt talks about how LUCHA has been using the Sangha app, powered by Edlio, to improve communication between the school and parents. As part of attending LUCHA, parents commit to volunteering 30 hours for the school year so school-parent communication is crucial. Hear what she has to say about the impact of Sangha on her school’s community. Q: Any parting comments to share with other principals? I would say that Sangha’s an incredible tool for helping to make your job easier, I feel like you can go around in circles trying to communicate with parents, but with this tool you really get an all-in-one stop shop. You can send out your newsletters via Sangha, you can message people directly about specific individual concerns, you can send out quick reminders to parents, and everything’s organized and easy. Teachers really find it as a useful tool for parent communication as well. And as a principal, I love that I can see all of the communication happening across the school so that when a parent comes up and has had a private conversation with a teacher, I have the context to understand what they’re referring to if they want to talk further about it or I can refer back to fliers that parents have received from teachers. And so having that ability to really, in a more organized way, see the communication at your school, is a great tool. Q: How were you communicating with parents before you started using Sangha? We sent out weekly newsletters, we made sure that they got put in weekly communication folders to our students, we posted things to our website, but things get lost in students’ backpacks, things never make it to the parents. And so even though we were really diligent about sending the message out, we never truly knew if it was getting to the intended audience member and not just stuffed at the bottom of a backpack. Q: How did you come to know about Sangha and why did you go with them? We had been exploring a number of different options, but when we saw the layout and design of Sangha, I felt like to put it in the layout of a calendar just made so much more sense. I think that’s one of our takeaways from how we do our newsletters, when you see so much text and you’re just looking for those key details, you miss so much information. But if you’re seeing the layout in a calendar form, you’re getting pop-ups on the day of the event, the communication is so much more streamlined. Q: You are reaching 82% of your students’ parents, 60% via the Sangha mobile app , and the rest through email digest. How did you sign up so many parents in your first year? The true piece that I think that got the majority of parents signed up, was when there was actually something that they needed to sign up for. I would say our biggest lever was parent-teacher conferences, or for us we do home visits at the beginning of the year. So all of our teachers go out and visit the students at their homes to establish those positive relationships. Our teachers scheduled these visits on Sangha. Q: What’s your feedback on the app so far? They’re always sending that information back to me as the principal, and saying “Oh yeah, here’s your principal, we’re cc’ing her in the loop making sure that she can help you get setup.” That strong response every time somebody reaches out to Sangha has been amazing, it’s a great feature, otherwise people can get frustrated and give up easily. But when you’re getting immediate feedback like that it really makes you continue to pursue and get onboard and get the issue worked out. Q: How are you planning on using your parents engagement more? We could do even better about the field trip permission forms. We’re still going with the paper forms for now because it was harder to do the half and half management, but I think that’s a great asset to have for our students. Parents sign consent forms for students via Sangha.

This beautiful ring would make a wonderful wedding band, or just stacked with any collection of rings. The ring is made from recycled 14 karat gold and features simple, feminine details that I adore. The band measures 1.7mm wide and is made to order in sizes 4-9 (sizes larger than 9 please convo me for pricing). NOTE: some pictures show the band stacked with other rings. This ring or others like it are available for purchase in my shop, but this listing is for the beaded band only.

This dual-screen handset will no longer reach the US market as expected "due to unforeseen delays including both production and delivery" of the US variant from the manufacturer. YotaPhone 2 is a unique device, bringing together a premium Android smartphone and a fully customizable always-on electronic paper display. With full Android functionality on both screens, this handset offers up to 100 hours of e-reading on a single charge and has been available in Europe since December 2014. In the US, it was expected to come thanks to an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign that raised $298,058 USD, successfully closing on July 26. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Indiegogo backers recently received an email that one of them shared with The Verge. According to this email, "the reason for our cancelled launch is due to unforeseen delays including both production and delivery of the North American variant of YotaPhone 2 from our manufacturer." Yota Devices also added that "the logistics were insurmountable and the device would simply arrive too late." Since YotaPhone 2 reached the market in late 2014, and YotaPhone 3 might launch next year, it looks like the US market will never get it. On the other hand, the cheaper YotaPhone 2c is also expected to launch in the coming months. Both handsets have been officially confirmed back in May by Yota’s Managing Director for the Americas, Matthew G. Kelly. Unfortunately, he did not reveal any launch date, saying that "We can’t sell our next generation until we sell our current one. Carriers are interested, but a lot hinges on how well the YotaPhona 2 does." Let us just hope YotaPhone 2 is doing well enough in other markets so the next-gen Yota handsets come out and reach as many markets as possible.

You da’ bomb. | Tea with T. Psssssh. Well, at least I’m not being FIRED. I gave my lunch companion a quick hug goodbye and went straight to the radio station. When I got there, a very nice officer told me I could not walk down Main Street because the suspectdevice was across the street from the radio station. Psssssh. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and a back door. Now, normally when you walk through the radio station building (where I still work – NOT fired!) there are a lot of folks busy at work. In the back room, there is typically a handful of people chatting and working on KHTS graphics, the station website (www.hometownstation.com) and upcoming events involving the community. Leaving that room, you’d continue on, making your way down the kitchen area stairs into a large room with super-high ceilings and a long row of double-desks where the news crew (a mix of interns and staff), works. To the right of them is our audio/video team editing content for our podcasts and YouTube Channel. Further down the hall we always have more people popping up and down from desks and in and out of production rooms before entering the completely glass broadcast room that faces Main Street. Normally, the KHTS AM 1220 building is always abuzz. But, that was not the building I walked through on an outrageously abnormal day of a bomb scare in the neighborhood. The entire radio station building was silent, except for the soft voice of the Station Owner calmly coming the broadcast booth where he was relaying information about a possible bomb threat. The only other sound was coming from our News Director, tapping back and forth between a laptop and his cellphone –receiving moment-by-moment information from law enforcement. My immediate supervisor sat behind the soundboard, manning the controls in a completely out of control situation. Oh, hello — roll-y chair. Suspicious device discovered across the street. Evacuations of approximately four blocks. Los Angeles Bomb Squad notified. It took approximately 70-90 minutes for all of the information to finally come to light. We were told that a device was taken to a military surplus store, where the owner/operator happened to have munitions experience. He immediately recognized that a Blu-49 A/B Bomblet was now in his possession and he placed the unexploded cluster bomb in a safe box and alerted the authorities. During that time, the Sheriff’s Department evacuated the entire downtown area. But some of the staff of radio station decided to stay. My boss asked why I returned and, in a nutshell (go ahead with the squirrel jokes), I said I felt an obligation to the community to be behind the mic with “business as usual” no matter how unusual it really was. When I moved to the Santa Clarita Valley, I remember I found great comfort in disastrous times when fires raged out of control (reaching the curb of the street behind my house); earthquakes rocked our world or roads were blocked coming in and out of the area due to catastrophic collisions on our highways. The voice coming out of the radio gave me hope and reminded me that I was not alone. To give that back to even one person was important to me. I did ask my employers to consider flak jackets or Kevlar vests for the station. It’s cute that they thought I was joking. I wasn’t. A new roll-y chair, maybe?
