Looking to hide an incriminating call or unwanted contact? With iOS 5, iPhone users will be able to delete any record of such a call, no jailbreak required.
Previously, users could only delete the entire call log, although a jailbreak tweak added the ability to delete individual calls. Of course, not everyone wants to jailbreak their Apple device.
Will this feature remain when iOS 5 officially launches this fall? Who knows, but it’s nice to know that if need be, users will be able to keep their call history secret.

While it's hardly a common pursuit, modifying an older boat like the Triton into some new creation--like a more open, simplistic daysailor--is hardly a new idea. There is at least one complete, successful transformation of a Triton hull into a daysailor, and at least one failed attempt. My intent in highlighting the boats below is not to be critical, but to point out features that I personally either like or don't like, and why. Boat design and execution is subjective. I think I have a fair eye for proportional and pleasing aesthetics, but not all may agree with my own opinions. The boat I'm going to build will please me first, and I believe it will please others.
Here's one, somewhere, that someone started a sort of similar project on.
It looks like they just cut off the aft portion of the original cabin trunk and left the forward portion.
Either way, it's not nice, and is not the look I am going for.
not quite what I would do--nor what I intend to do.
To see further details on this particular boat, click here.
Here is an interesting photo of a Triton with her deck removed.

Six Sigma is a quality improvement philosophy and methodology that has been used successfully in improving the operations of organizations worldwide. Leading organizations including FIAT, Magna, Starwood Hotels, ITT Lavoro, GE, Boeing, Delta Airlines, Raytheon, IBM, Motorola, Lexus, and Allied Systems, as well as numerous smaller companies in Europe, North America, and Asia have successfully utilized the Six Sigma methodology to improve their internal operations as well as supplier performance. Using Sig Sigma methodology results in increased product and service quality, increased speed to market and increased product value.
CIMBA has embraced Six Sigma in an effort both to provide students with an experiential learning opportunity focusing on business process and problem solving and to provide its client companies with a unique opportunity to understand and evaluate the Six Sigma methodology. Consistent with CIMBA’s educational philosophy, the managerial methodology of Six Sigma expressly recognizes the importance of customer-centered, data-driven decision-making. It is being used profitably in virtually every industry around the world, and by both large and small companies within those industries. Importantly, the methodology is well rooted in mathematics and statistics.
The Six Sigma workshop is a measurement-based management strategy that uses tools and techniques from Total Quality Management. It focuses on quality initiatives for analyzing the root cause of a business process problem (whether in production, marketing, sales, design, etc.) and then analyzing and improving the process. Once the process is producing as few defects as possible, Six Sigma requires that appropriate controls be put into place to continually monitor the improved process and ensure that the cost savings realized continue. The increase in performance brought about under this methodology leads to a vast improvement in product quality, customer satisfaction, employee morale, and business performance.
Taught by a Master Black Belt, the Six Sigma workshop meets during the week, is four days in length, and is offered once per year. The class provides an additional opportunity for networking as executive program students and full-time MBA students participate in the training together. Following the workshop, you will participate in a hands-on Six Sigma project involving the local business community. The successful completion of the workshop and project leads to the achievement of Six Sigma Green Belt certification.
The Six Sigma short course costs 1500 Euros. Current Part-Time Students and all CIMBA alumni pay a discounted rate of 1000 Euros.
To talk with a CIMBA staff member about our Sig-Sigma short course, contact us at executive@cimbaitaly.com or call +39-0423-932120.

Invictus is a movie based on John Carlin’s book, Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation. The true events around the 1995 Rugby World Cup in post-apartheid South Africa are the basis of the story.
On February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) is released from the Robben Island prison after 27 years in jail. On April 27, 1994, Mandela is democratically elected the first black President of South Africa. His presidency faces huge challenges in the post-apartheid era. Mandela worries about racial divisions between black and white South Africans.
While attending a game of the Springboks, the country's rugby team, Mandela sees that the blacks in the stadium cheer against their home team, because the all-white team represents prejudice and apartheid in their minds. Before 1995, no black players are members of the Springboks team.
Mandela meets with the captain of the Springboks, François Pienaar (Matt Damon), and states that a victory in the World Cup will unite and inspire the nation. Mandela also shares a British poem, "Invictus,” with Pienaar. It was something which inspired him during his time in prison.
In 1995, South Africa creates a slogan to unite the whole country behind the now desegregated Springboks - “One Team, One Country.” During the opening games, support for the Springboks begins to grow among the black population.
As the season goes on, the whole country comes together to support the Springboks and Mandela's efforts. The Springboks surpass all expectations and qualify for the World Cup against New Zealand’s "The All Blacks"—South Africa's arch-rivals.
Can the Springboks beat their rivals? Does the country unite behind the team? Can a sports team really change a nation?
In this story behind the movie, experience South Africa before and after apartheid. Meet the first black President of South Africa and learn about his life. Meet the rugby players who work to bring a country together.

David Burdeny, Rockpool, Australia 2016, 5 x 5 feet.
Well, I know that “they” always say that size doesn’t matter, and also that we know others who counter that with a rhetorical flourish and an easily understood "Size does matter." Both are clearly true. But in the case of visual art after the official invention of photography in about 1840 – and subsequently the inception of an art form that I consider to be not just a highly pertinent part of formal art history but actually its progressive culmination, leading eventually to the ultimate medium of expression, cinema – size tends to impact our perception in very valid ways.
To test this experiential fact, that size does matter after all, just submit to an easy experiment yourself: watch Orson Welles’s 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane on your smart-phone, then watch it on television, then go out and find a cinematheque in your city which is screening it in a pristine 35-mm print on a giant screen in a big room, in the dark, and surrounded by strangers.
You get the general idea. Size matters.
The same is true of the art of photography, once the viewer accepts the fact that ever since the ascent of visual artists such as Alfred Stieglitz, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Lisette Model, Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan and Virginia Meier, to name but a few, photography is indeed the most paramount of aesthetic media. It certainly is the shining mirror of the last century and also even of our current pixilated era, especially once it is transported into or up to the grandeur and epitome of that most collaborative of visual arts, great filmmaking. The scope and scale of the salience conveyed by the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction is also, not always, but often, strikingly embedded in the size of the photographic format being utilized.
The earliest photographic artworks, originally scalded onto fragile glass plates over agonizingly long sessions, were barely the size of average postcards. But once reproducibility kicked into high gear, roughly the Steichen era of acceptance as paintings made mechanically with light, their true splendour as images that captured the fleeting duration of reality itself began to expand their dimensions up to and eventually even beyond the customary scale of traditional paintings on canvas.
Eventually the grandeur of an Ansel Adams (someone whose sensibility, not his style, I find to have the most affinity with Burdeny's) invited both photographers and those viewers among us who were willing to accept the industry involved as not only aesthetic but triumphantly so, began to have an appetite for images that occupied the same physical space as we ourselves do. Which brings us back to the tantalizing, mind-altering, and frequently breathtakingly big images of David Burdeny.
Salt Lake 5, Utah, 2015 (left); Salt Lake 9, Utah, 2015 (right).
Most of these splendid images were shot between 2015 and 2017, in multiple locations around the world, and have two primary elements in common: most are sublime in their content and most are grand in their form. Often they are big, big pictures, usually 5 by 6 feet in scale, so human scale. And they also share with us the big picture of life on earth, what it means for humans to interact with the environment, frequently from the environment’s point of view.
He speaks on behalf of the marvelous locations he prefers to seek out, find, explore and interpret for us. A great example of this paradox would be his portrait of a surfer off the coast of Australia. Is this a picture of a surfer, of the ocean, an abstraction of pure energy, or a still life using a human body as a device for examining the power of nature and the vanitas of our own attitudes towards it? The answer is: yes.
But of course his contemplation of the intricate relationships between nature and ourselves also takes into account the obvious but often underlooked presence of the many other sentient beings who occupy our precious space, especially the oceans, with us as invisible but implacable companions. As per his intimate studies of humpback whales going about their mysterious business in the dark depth we can’t even imagine, let alone visit.
Burdeny demonstrates a high degree of visual eloquence and is something of a rare bird for artists: a practitioner of visual poetry who appears equally eloquent when called upon to explicate his own work, something generally left to mechanics such as myself. “These works,” he explains, “present my abiding interest in the thresholds that divide and connect the sea to the land. I am fascinated with the quality of light and the special immensity of the oceans, and I have an enormous reverence for feeling so small in the presence of something so vast, where perspective, scale, time and distance momentarily become intangible."
I’m pleased to say that I couldn’t have said it better myself. Also that his is that equally rare case of fabricated images that really do require very little introduction, since they actually can speak best for themselves, in their own profoundly moving visual language.
His works specifically reference the interstitial gaps between solid and liquid, matter and air, mind and memory. Apart from being exceptionally well-crafted and compellingly elegant in their large-scale character, for me they also approach a captivating merger between purely aesthetic concerns about form and content-related concerns about ecological issues which have a significant pertinence in today’s global culture.
While not directly ecological per se, they raise demanding issues about land use and human habitation, while also exploring the domain of on-site spatial aspects of conceptual/perceptual experiences. His works obviously evidence a keen technical ability, enduring patience and a minimalist ethos while also showing a documentary interest in the marks humans leave behind us. They are time-based, durational epics and serial works of exceptional rigour.
It is certain that Burdeny is equally highly attuned to the visual vibrations inherent in both the organic architecture of nature and the human designed architecture of culture. His Veld series, for instance, focuses on the annual growing season in Flevoland, The Netherlands, the largest tulip-growing area in the region. Flying in an open-door helicopter, Burdeny had to time the shoots precisely in order to capture he tulips at their peak bloom.
David Burdeny is represented by the Jennifer Kostuik Gallery in Vancouver and by the Bau-Xi Gallery in Toronto.

Add a little oil and a little water to the bottom of a deep saucepan. Wash and tear kale into bite-sized chunks, heat saucepan to medium-high, add kale and stir frequently. Allow to cook for about 15 minutes, lightly browning each side of the kale and wilting it completely. When almost finished, push kale to one side of the saucepan and add eggs, cooking until desired doneness. Pile kale on a plate, place egg(s) on top, season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a shot of hot sauce if desired.
This seems a little granola, but it's really delicious. Kale has such a potent, green flavour and when pan-fried, it takes on a great crunch. But do cook it well. When I undercook it, well, I suffer. To put it plainly, from extreme gas pain. Kale is in the gabbage family, although many don't realize it. And it should be treated as such. If you don't want to kill your loved ones via methane gas poisoning, heed this advice.
I've been enjoying myself in the kitchen even more lately because the crazy hoarder who lived in the apartment facing mine finally moved out. For the last several years, crazy hoarder has done her crazy hoarderiest to make sure I can't see into her kitchen (which was absolutely revolting) by putting up various scraps of wrapping paper and gift bags while spying on me in between the cracks of her self-made-slash-self-imposed-mural-prison. I did my level best to ignore her, but she would come over every so often to ask me to open a jar, or let her friends into the building (for some reason she only periodically had a phone). She drove me nuts and her staring at me was starting to make me paranoid. But no more! I feel a weight off my shoulders.
The Arts Club, Kale & Nori Culinary Arts and the Legacy Liquor Store are throwing a new Arts Club Dinner on Thursday, July 12, 2012. The four course menu – created by Jonathan Chovancek - features cocktail pairings, including concoctions made from Ardey, Auchentoshan, Benromach and Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban premium whiskies.
The event takes place around the Legacy Liquor Store's communal table o'er at 1633 Manitoba Street, and goes for $90 a head. Proceeds benefit the Arts Club. Call 604 687 5315 x248 for tickets or more info, or head over to the Arts Club website.
I'm hovering by the open window of the truck, getting what cover I can from the afternoon rain and trying to be near whatever heat the kitchen emits. The couple running it are scattered, doing the best to keep up to the pace while CBC employees grumble about work. Vorrayut Jiranuntiporn picks up his wok, plates the rice, and does a few hundred other things all at once.
Jiranuntiporn and his partner, Wasinee Tuntiveerabut, are (relatively) new immigrants from Thailand, and RimFoodBaht is their food truck. They're offering dishes from their home, in a city filled with many Thai restaurants but very few good ones. I want them to succeed despite the busy Noodle Box a block away, where office workers line-up for odd faux-Asian stir-frys with little substance. I want them to succeed despite having one of the worst food truck locations downtown, where the closest offices are workers for the government and not ones with expense accounts. I want them to succeed.
It's perhaps an over-romanticized notion to think that people will travel for good food. Some might, but most won't. Those that don't will miss out on RimFoodBaht's earnest meals, each cooked to order. This is remarkable for the green curry with chicken ($6.50), which in most chain restaurants is a meagre cost-saving offering heavy on premade sauce and cheap rice and light on anything else. Jiranuntiporn's version is stacked, layers of flavour colliding into one; 'soulful' might be a cliché by now but there is no word more apt. Cynics might yearn for something other than chicken breast, but the plentitude of Thai basil and lime leaves should win hearts over.
The scent from the basil eggplant with ground pork ($6.50) fills the paper bag that I've carried it in back to my office. I try to devise a plan to make the aroma linger to keep work morale up. The Nam Ngew ($6.50) - a northern Thai noodle served with a tomato-based pork broth with spareribs, ground pork and an endless supply of garlic and ginger - fills the heart on rainy days, and perhaps one of the best offerings of all of the food carts in the city. The Miang Kham ($4.50) is served as an appetizer ("Kham" translates to "a bite"), though the toasted coconut - served with bits of shrimp, lime, ginger and shallot, all wrapped up in a leaf - fills that purgatory between savory and sweet, a wonderful limbo between appetizer and dessert. All of it is food I'd like to yell about, to bring people near, in this city where pad thai and ketchup have become overly familiar dancing partners.
I'd like my voice to travel further. Three blocks over finds Guanaco, the new El Salvadoran truck on Seymour, across from the Bay. This was the spot that recently hosted the failed Coma Food Truck, its contemporary Korean menu lost to a pedestrian wave that often fails to stop in-between shops, in-between offices. One patron at the cart begets another, though there are more that have questions about the menu than there are that are willing to order from it.
The Manzanos, mother and son, offer pupusas ($8.50) - revueltas, queso y frijoles or ayote, each with yucca fries and curtido, a more sour slaw of sorts - a thread from their old pupuseria back home. Compared to Rimfoodbaht, it's a much slicker, smoother operation, but just as effecting. Try a sample of the horchata ($3.75), they offer. Try a sample of the pupusa. Try it: there's no steep learning curve here.
There shouldn't be, when it comes to meals like these. The pasteles ($5 for 2, with curtido) are tremendous, its crisp maize shell securing a gush of cheese and meat with assumed universal appeal. Good things generally come in little packets, as is the case with the chicken tamales ($4.50 for 1). And there are the pupusas, larger than most other places offer in town, encasing a generous amount of your stuffing of choice, its crisp and chewy cocoon providing that perfect argument as to why this has been chosen as El Salvador's national delicacy. None of this should be hard to comprehend; it should succeed.
Or at least I desperately want it to.
Recently Tenacious C and I went on a little vacation to Victoria. Lana told us that if we wanted fantastic seafood, we should check out Pescatores, right across the street from the Empress.
I love fresh fish and shellfish more than anything else on this earth, so I was excited when we walked into this medium-sized room with low ceiling fans and a New Orleans-y vibe. The lighting is extremely low, which is great for my looks but not for taking photos, which is why none appear here, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
I had the seafood mixed grill, which consisted of grilled salmon, grilled halibut, and three juicy black tiger prawns perched on top of the richest, most delicious chive mashed potatoes I've ever had. (I asked for the recipe and our super-personable waiter had a hilarious response wherein he had about 25 conflicting thoughts and seemed truly disappointed that he couldn't tell me: "ha ha, yes I'd like to... but no. No. No. Sorry. But no").
The real stand out other than the potatoes was the perfectly prepared halibut. Halibut is a finicky fish that's difficult to cook without either drying it out or rendering it tasteless. This halibut had crispy skin and tender insides and I tip my wannabe-chef's hat at the person who prepared it, because I'll probably be trying to copy it for the rest of my life.
Next time you find yourself in Victoria stop by there for excellent fish, and start with a few fresh oysters, why don't you.

No — they’re not virtual Pokémon Go creatures that you can catch with your smart phone — but rather a group of rescued dogs in need of some physical activity.
Now, an animal shelter is calling on Pokémon Go players to volunteer and walk dogs.
Peckinpaugh is the director of an animal shelter in Muncie, Indiana. He came up with the idea when he was out walking his dog and playing the app with his six-year-old daughter.
“[We] noticed how many other people we were seeing out playing the game — just droves and droves,” Peckinpaugh explains.
The shelter put up an ad on their Facebook page encouraging volunteers to take dogs out while they explored the city for Pokémon characters.
Peckinpaugh says on a typical day one or two people would show up to volunteer their service. But since the post was published, the shelter is now averaging upwards of 70 volunteers. He says people were lining up outside on Thursday morning.
“I’ve never seen so many people out enjoying our city and getting involved with this animal shelter,” Peckinpaugh explains.
He knows the game has it’s critics and admits that giving dogs to pedestrians already distracted by their phones could be dangerous. But he insists that volunteers understand their responsibility and that exercising basic common sense minimizes the risks.

All biological membranes contain lipids that prefer to adopt a non-bilayer phase. Recent results suggest that, in the thylakoid membrane, membrane proteins force all the lipids to adopt a bilayer structure, and that the non-bilayer-forming lipids in the thylakoid membrane serve to drive the formation of membrane stacks.

It is so much easier hiring a website company to take care of your website rather than messing with it yourself. You do not have to deal with the hassle of purchasing a domain because a web design company will do all of that for you. All you have to do is pay them to have it done. There are a couple services that web design companies offer, and the reasons why people go through a company to get it done professionally. You can have your website design done and you can also have your website advertised through social media.
When you hire a company to create a website for you, you should have everything you want on it already prepared to show them. Your design team will design it and put it on your website. You may want to sit with them to show them what you want or you might want to look at it once they have finished so you can critique anything they may have missed.
Another one of the services they offer would be to advertise your website on social media sites. Nowadays many people are glued to their computer or smart phone and posting things on their page. When they first log in, they will see a bunch of advertisements on the side of their site. It would be great if your website were one of those. You may ask your design team if they can create a page for your business or a page related to your website so you can also do some promotion.
Not only will you find that most web design services dubai companies will take care of the design and will put your website on social media sites, but they can also develop your site and advertise it through search engines. You will be pleased that you had your website designed professionally.

Can we finally realize Alan Kay’s Dynabook for $100?
Nov. 5, 2008 was the 40th anniversary since computer scientist Alan Kay devised the "Dynabook," a theoretical computing device that was aimed toward higher education and "children of all ages," writes ZDNet blogger Jason Perlow. So, how close are we to realizing Kay’s dream? Since the device’s theoretical conception in 1968 and the publication of a paper proposing its use in 1972 when Kay was at Xerox’s PARC, many of the technologies that were in Kay’s conceptual device finally did come to fruition, such as portable and mobile computing, graphical users interfaces, and object-oriented programming languages. But has the Dynabook truly been realized? In a nutshell, no. While we’ve made tremendous strides in computing and information technology in the last 40 years, it’s hard to say that we’ve been able to go completely paperless and create the computing equivalent to the 1930s Volkswagen or the "People’s PC." And certainly, from the perspective of the Dynabook’s true purpose as an educational tool, even the One Laptop Per Child organization (of which Kay is an active consulting member) has fallen far short of its original lofty goals to getting a computer into the hands of every student at a cost of $100 per unit. "I believe we have all the technologies necessary to create the Dynabook, but to get a tablet-type eBook/computing device into the hands of every single student in the entire world … we’re going to have to try a lot harder in terms of cooperation between competing companies with their own technological agendas and put a lot of petty differences aside and provide government incentives to these companies to bring the cost of manufacturing and development down in order to finally realize Kay’s dream," Perlow writes.

Fractures of left maxillary sinuses, left nasal plate, left frontal skull fracture, left orbit, facial lacerations; displaced fracture of right distal talus; and depression.
The plaintiff, then 17 years old, was a front seat passenger in a vehicle. The operator of that vehicle crossed over the double yellow lines and struck another vehicle head-on. The force of the front impact was significant. The plaintiff lost consciousness at the scene and had obvious severe injuries.
EMTs arrived and transported her to the nearest hospital, but when imaging studies revealed an L5 burst fracture, she was emergently transported to a Boston Children’s Hospital.
The plaintiff had other serious injuries including a compound fracture to her right ankle, dislocated right ankle, displaced fracture to her left ankle, pulmonary contusions, right kidney injury, and a large laceration to her left thigh.
She underwent surgery to repair her ankles the following day. Both ankles required open reduction with internal fixation; yet, her right ankle fractures required pins, screws and wire to fixate the fractures in place. Also, given the open nature of her right ankle fracture, an Irrigation and Debridement was carried out in the OR at the same time.
The plaintiff was admitted to the ICU following her orthopedic surgery to monitor her spine injuries. The plaintiff was taken to the OR four days later to repair her spine injuries. She underwent a fusion from L4-S2 with L5 vertebral decompression. During the procedure, it was noted that she had tears of the dura (protective covering around spinal cord), and she was re-admitted to the ICU following her surgery for continued monitoring of her neurological status.
Her post-operative recovery was extremely difficult given her multiple injuries. Physical therapy worked with the plaintiff twice daily to help her learn to safely transfer using her left leg. She was non-weight bearing on her right side for several weeks following her surgery.
Pain management was a problem and concern during her post-operative hospital stay. She was discharged to Spaulding after nearly 2 weeks in the ICU for further rehabilitation and therapy. She remained in-patient at Spaulding for two weeks during which time they helped prepare her for her discharge, including how to safely bathe, dress, and make transfers. She initially required assistance with all these tasks.
Following her discharge from Spaulding Rehab, she received daily visits from a visiting nurse association and then eventually, she was well enough to received outpatient physical therapy.
At the time of the crash, the plaintiff was entering her senior year of high school. Because of her injuries, she missed almost the entire fall semester and had to work very hard to make up her missed work, so she could graduate on time with her friends. This was extremely difficult since she was also managing chronic pain from her injuries and various medical appointments and therapy sessions as well.
The plaintiff worked very hard at therapy to regain as much mobility as she could in her back and ankles despite all the hardware that was implanted. However, despite her best efforts, she still has significant limitations with many physical activities due to her implanted hardware.
This resolution of this claim was complicated by the fact that there was another seriously injured claimant seeking compensation from the available insurance.
A mediation was conducted between the plaintiff and the other injured party in an attempt to reach consensus on the division of the available insurance limits, which was successful.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if CLR 131 is effective for the treatment of multiple myeloma or certain lymphomas. CLR 131 is an investigational radioactive drug. The word “investigational” means that CLR 131 is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is available for research use only.
Radiotherapy has been used as a cancer therapy for more than 40 years. The goal of targeted radiotherapy is selective delivery (directed to tumor) of effective doses of radioactive isotopes (amount of radiation) that destroy tumor tissue, limit the effect on surrounding normal tissue, do not accumulate in and damage vital organs (especially bone marrow, liver and kidneys), and that can be rapidly eliminated from the body.
In experiments with animals and on cell tissue, CLR 131 has been shown to slow tumor growth. This compound appears to target cells with cancer rather than cells without cancer. As mentioned above, this study is being done to learn more about what effect, if any, CLR 131 has on your cancer and if there are any bad side effects.
CLOVER-1 is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 2 study evaluating intravenous (IV) administration of CLR 131 in patients with B-cell malignancies who have been previously treated with standard therapy for their underlying malignancy.
Multiple myeloma patients must have received at least 2 regimens, including at least 1 approved proteasome inhibitor and at least 1 approved immunomodulatory agent. Multiple myeloma patients must have measurable evidence of disease based on a serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP), 24-hour urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP), or FLC assay (non-secretors are allowed provided the Investigator details a plan to define progressive disease (PD) prior to enrollment and to assess clinical benefit after treatment).
Up to 80 patients are planned for the study. Approximately ten initial patients evaluable for response will be enrolled into each tumor cohort. The study is being done at up to 10 medical centers in the United States and is expected to last about 24 months, but may last longer.
All subjects will receive CLR 131. For patients with multiple myeloma you will also take dexamethasone weekly. You will receive a single injection of the study drug, CLR 131, through an intravenous injection (IV, through a catheter in a vein in your arm) over approximately 30 minutes on day 1 and day 7 of the study.
Before the infusion of CLR 131, you will start a medication (potassium iodide drops) to help reduce the radiation exposure to the thyroid gland. This medicine must be taken by mouth within 24 hours before your dose of CLR 131 and will continue for 21 days after the dose of CLR 131. Your doctor or the study team will tell you how to take this medication.
For patients with multiple myeloma your doctor will instruct you on taking dexamethasone once per week orally (by mouth). You will need to complete a diary showing when you took the medication each week and share this with the study team.
You may be allowed to receive a second cycle of CLR 131 infusions. If your doctor thinks it is appropriate, the second cycle will be given no earlier than 75 days and no later than 180 days following the first cycle of CLR 131. Your doctor or study team will let you know if you are able to receive a second cycle.
After the screening visit, you will have approximately 14 visits to the study site during the study. These visits will be for treatment administration and blood draws to monitor your safety.
You will be actively participating in the study for approximately 85 days as your monitored after the injection of the CLR 131. Following this initial post-infusion safety follow-up period, patients will be followed at the discretion of treating physicians.
You can stop participating at any time. However, if you decide to stop participating in the study, we encourage you to talk to the study doctor and your regular doctor first. Please notify your study doctor if you wish to stop study participation for any reason. Your progress will continue to be followed through your medical records unless you request that access to your records be limited.
Have Relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Have received at least 2 prior regimens, which must include at least 1 approved proteasome inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib, carfilzomib, or ixazomib) and at least 1 approved immunomodulatory agent (e.g., thalidomide, lenalidomide, or pomalidomide), with or without maintenance therapy, unless patients are ineligible to receive such agents.
Anti-cancer therapy within two weeks of initial CLR 131 infusion is excluded. However, low dose dexamethasone for symptom management is allowed.
Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational therapy within 2 weeks of eligibility-defining bone marrow biopsy. Bisphosphonates and denosumab are permitted if the patient has been receiving the medication for at least 90 days.
Histologically or cytologically confirmed MM; CLL/SLL, LPL, MZL; or MCL OR histologically proven, DLBCL. Patients with transformed DLBCL are allowed.
At least 2 prior regimens, which must include at least 1 approved proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib, carfilzomib, or ixazomib) and at least 1 approved immunomodulatory agent (thalidomide, lenalidomide, or pomalidomide), with or without maintenance therapy, unless patients are intolerable to such agents or ineligible to receive such agents.
At least 1 measurable nodal lesion with longest diameter > 15 mm or 1 measurable extranodal lesion (eg, hepatic nodule) with longest diameter > 10 mm. Additional parameters (e.g., measurable IgM for patients with Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma) may be allowed if they meet current NCCN guidelines for symptomatic disease. Patients with uptake by FDG-PET scan may be allowed with prior approval of Sponsor.
At least 1 measurable nodal lesion with longest diameter > 15 mm or 1 measurable extranodal lesion (eg, hepatic nodule) with longest diameter > 10 mm. Patients with uptake by FDG-PET scan may be allowed with prior approval of Sponsor.
Relapsed or refractory to combination chemotherapy for DLBCL that contains rituximab and an anthracycline; or is intolerable to such agents. Relapsed disease is defined as either recurrence of disease after a CR or PD after achieving a partial response (PR) or SD. Refractory disease is defined as failure to achieve at least SD with any 1 line of therapy or with PD ≤ 3 months of the most recent chemotherapy regimen.
Ongoing Grade 2 or greater toxicities due to previous therapies. Stable, tolerable Grade 2 AEs (eg, neuropathy) may be allowed.

Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Mystery solved and started!
Thread: Mystery solved and started!
Fernando, forgot to thank you for posting those pics of the regiment/rac marks. I am also of the opinion that the R or RX for that matter, stands for regiment once we ruled out (in the original thread) that it was for 'rack number' (ruled out by the fact that the German word for rack is 'Gestell' ), whereas 'regiment' is the same in German and thus starts with the leter 'R'.

Does anyone recognize any of these sources?

So, using [Down] + [Grab] when you're over the object, you lift the object, for example a explosive barrel, over you head, and you throw it with [Block].
The main purpose is for throwing it around better than just kicking it 5000 times, and yeah, when shot it would explode, but i dont think not even the stupidest player would carry a explosive barrel with armed players around.
·Propane Tanks, Jogging speed and you're able to hit with it.
·Tables, Jogging speed and not able to hit with it.
you can imagine. Big objects like the barrels or tables you can just carry and throw them around, but other relatively small objects like the propane tanks you can carry, throw and hit with them.
And for grabbing stuff, the easiest way i can imagine is being over them and crouching then pressing R.
Leave a reply or a thumbs up to approve this so the developers work on this!

This would need more specifications,but lifting objects is something that has always been missing from this game.
Thx, what specifications do you need Del Poncho?
Well,I'm not exactly the best at proposing ideas in here,but usually they need a lot more details.
For example,what can you lift,how will you move around with it,in what position,what and how you can throw,how far,how will you be able to grab exactly what you want in a sea of objects,and stuff like that.
Basically,everything the Devs would have to program and think of when including this feature in the game. That's what separates an actual suggestion topic and a "wish".
This idea just seems unnecessary, i don't think anyone would risk carrying a propane can or an explosive barrel. It wouldn't even do much damage when hit and if it is shot while carrying ,it could almost kill/kill the player who is carrying it.
This would allow you to rain death from above and transport cover more easily, just imagine being able to carry an explosive barrel and throw it onto a foe below, and watch them explode, even on the receiving end it would still amaze you, although it would require some skill.
Another more practical reason I'd like to see this implemented would be to make transporting cover more precise and quick, transporting cover as of now is pretty clumsy, your only option is to kick it around and hope to god that it doesn't fall off an edge or end up on it's side(in the case of a barrel).
To get into the nitty-gritty, carrying an object would be similar to carrying a body, you would have to initiate a grab and hold down. After making contact you will lift the object over your head, rather than holding it in front of you, to unable you from using it as a mobile shield, but the object would still take damage from projectiles, meaning, while carrying an explosive barrel, you would also carry the risk of getting 'sploded.
You will have 2 options while carrying an object, throw it by pressing the "aim/block" key, and plop it down by pressing the "attack" key, carrying an object would obviously slow you down, but this would vary depending on the object, metal objects such as barrels would weigh more than wooden objects like boxes.

[...] I honestly believe this post diserves a lot more attention, also this shouldn’t be in the small suggestions topic because this is a big thing that changes the “balance of the game” (well since your adding a new ability... I think it does).
Merged the posts with the appropriate thread.
Although I suggested the same weight idea in my older post, I've come to disagree with it now, shuffling around with a barrel on your back would really put a dent in SFD's fast paced matches, it'll disincentive people from moving cover like this.
Thanks, I really should've posted my idea normally instead of dooming it to the small suggestions thread's endless list, and now someone else has claimed my lvl99 suggester glory... *sigh* No offense Jyiro, actually props for suggesting the same thing but not making the same mistake.
It's always been my opinion that interactions with objects/cover in the game has been somewhat lacking. Being able to physically and manually move bigger objects around without being forced to damage it would add more strategic depth both into how players control space as well as how players cross it. I also think how players pick up and move bodies could stand to be buffed a touch.
Force walking speeds while just normally carrying an object with half stamina regen and allow for joging at the cost of stamina at the same rate as sprinting, provided you're carrying a lightweight object (crates, tables, bodies) and not a heavy one (desk, barrels). I really feel like being able to manipulate the objects in the game more would let players design sophisticated traps using c4 and mines, or more actively control chokepoints by pushing objects into key locations to either take cover behind or force an approach towards a tighter space.

On a recent business trip, my iPhone 6 was stolen. I had over a year remaining to pay it off through the AT&T carrier contract, and I just couldn’t justify spending another $649 to replace it. I reverted to my old iPhone 5, but I also started looking around for other options.
It was at Best Buy that I came across the Microsoft Lumia 640 phone, available without contract for $59.99 (as of writing it is still available).
It had lots and lots of good reviews so I thought it was worth trying out. Two things I did immediately was to add a SanDisk Ultra SDXC card to increase the memory from 8GB to 72GB ($22 on Amazon), and I joined the Windows Insider program to gain early access to Windows 10 Mobile (since the phone came with 8.1 and 10 is not yet released at the time of this writing).
My total expenditure for this new phone was therefore $82, compared to the $649 I would have paid for a new iPhone with 64GB of memory. What did I get for my money? A similar size screen to the iPhone 6, a good processor, a nice form factor, 8MP rear camera plus front camera, etc, etc. Some of the iPhone specs were a little better, but in this day and age phone hardware from device to device is overwhelmingly similar. It seems that the smart phone is well on its way to becoming a commodity device and manufacturers are increasingly struggling to introduce innovative or novelty features to freshen their lineup each year.
I’m going to defer providing an objective analysis of usability and versatility of the Windows Mobile 10 versus iOS 9 until after the official release. As of the now, the Windows Insider build of 10 has some obvious bugs that still need to be ironed out. Overall though, I’m really impressed with Windows Mobile 10.
I like the experience of Cortana more than Siri. They both have excellent speech recognition, but Cortana understands my speech flawlessly. Also, the Cortana experience feels more immersive and is therefore a more natural go-to companion for speech-based tasks.
I like the Windows Mobile home screen tiles more than on iOS. While the multiple pages are not available, instead you have a vertical flowing screen with the ability to size your tiles, put them in folders, and see live snippets of information within the tile itself.
I find the system settings to be far more intuitively organized on Windows Mobile than on iOS. And I really like that you can actually access app-specific settings from within the app rather than having to locate the app within a centralized settings area.
Windows Mobile 10 has a Kids Mode that you can switch on before handing off your phone to your kids. In this mode, only apps and features you’ve explicitly configured for their use are available.
I use Windows 10 on my desktop PC, and the consistency between the experiences really becomes apparent when you have used both. With the recent Windows 10 update, we are starting to see direct integration between your desktop and mobile devices as missed calls now appear on your desktop and you can write text messages on your PC that are sent through your phone. I expect this integration will continue to evolve and provide more value over time.
OneDrive is beautifully and seamlessly integrated through the whole experience, from Windows Explorer on the desktop, the Office 2016 suite of applications and their mobile counterparts, and the file system type of access on the phone. This is super useful!
So, what is missing? For one, you lose the unified inbox for your email. You also lose access to many apps you may be accustomed to using, because most companies are developing for Android and iOS only due to their market share. And while it may not be fair to judge a preview before it is released, there is definitely a feel that usability of the keyboard and text selection is below par compared to the iOS experience. My greatest personal loss is that, at the moment at least, Google’s apps are not available on Windows Mobile. Google Inbox is a brilliant email management tool, and my circle of friend and colleagues commonly use Google Hangouts, so doing without these apps is challenging.
It may be amusing to you that my main argument for switching is one of price, yet Microsoft are about to release Lumia 950 and 950XL, which have a starting price of $600. Granted, these phones have crazy high-end specs, and include the awe-inspiring Windows Continuum capability, which could be a game changer for the business traveler or tech enthusiast. It remains to be seen if Microsoft can out-premium Apple, and beat them at their own game for high-end products. For me, the excitement remains at the low-end price point. When I can buy a Lumia 950 for, say, $200, that’s when I’ll have the perfect phone, and possibly pumped enough to write another article promoting Windows 10 Mobile!

“To understand how a group can produce 87 point coffee in their first year of production, you have to understand the people behind the coffee. Dreamers. That’s what everyone called Jacquie Turner and Malcolm Clear when they wanted to start a school for children in Eastern Rwanda 10 years ago. Driven by the desire to help the children of the genocide, they made that dream a reality. As they got to know the community they realized these children needed much more than just education, and consequently, they lobbied the local government and international donors to support the construction of a local pharmacy, a micro-finance credit institution, and other services to support the community that supports these children.
What these two have accomplished for the community would be more than enough for any of us to hang our hat on and rest on our laurels, but they were not satisfied. Jacquie wanted to do more to help her fellow Rwandans. So her and Malcolm started dreaming again, and started to dream this time, of coffee. They wanted to find a way to have generational impact on communities without having to continually fundraise money for aid projects. At this time, they didn’t know anything about coffee, but they knew that the Rwandan government was supporting a transition towards specialty coffee and wanted to see how far they could leverage that goodwill towards helping a community. They spent years soliciting advice from experts across the coffee industry and travelled all over Rwanda to look for a community that was interested in such a venture and was conducive for growing good coffee. After countless hours walking around farms with agronomists and soil-scientists, they settled on an area just an hour north of Kigali, that is not only stunning for its views, but its high elevation that dwarfs even the well-known Lake Kivu region. There was only one issue: there wasn’t much coffee being grown there. So they dreamt up a solution.
It was a lot of dreaming, that was met with a lot of doors being slammed in their face. Set-backs that would deter the most resilient of us did nothing to dissuade these two from their goal. After years of lobbying the local government, the Development Bank of Rwanda, farmers themselves, and countless other parties, their project was finally green-lit in 2014. The structure of the project was unprecedented. Kinini Coffee signed a lease on parcels of land owned by various farmers throughout the area. This lease stipulated that Kinini would provide all these farmers with coffee trees, training and organization. All the farmers had to do was agree to deliver these cherries to the Kinini Washing Station when they fruited in the future, for which they would be paid. The parcels chosen were, for the most part, on unused land that wasn’t being farmed yet. The due-diligence done on this lease (printed in triplicate for every farmer) by the lawyers at the local and federal government to make sure farmers weren’t being taken advantage took over a year. They had never seen anything like it. They just kept asking, “Why would you invest so much into farmers that have done nothing for you?”. Their answer, “Because it’s the right thing to do”. As a sign of good-faith Malcolm put up his life-insurance policy as collateral to the loan by the Rwandan Development Bank.
They started distributing coffee seedlings to farmers, setting up training, building their washing station, and organizing farmers. Their learning curve in coffee was meteoric. Whenever they needed an answer to a coffee question, they would ask three specialists instead of one and triangulate their responses before making the most informed decision. A truly detail-oriented team. The result? In 2017 (3 years after the trees had been planted) they had their first harvest of any substantive volume. It was a frenzy of activity. Samples were being sent to different Q-graders around Rwanda for evaluation so they could start to identify different areas for separation in the future. First year issues were being hashed out, and triaged as needed. Choices were made not just for the sake of a certifying body, or a 3rd party auditor, but because they were in the best interest of the farmers and the coffee. An example of this was they conducted gender equity training, not because they were asked to by a certifier, but because they thought it was vitally important to value women in the supply chain. Farmer group development continued and logical lot separations started to present themselves such as the Tumba Village area. They had no idea how their coffee was going to taste, but they poured their heart and soul into it anyway. The result? The care taken at the farm (by farmers incentivized to do so) at the washing station, during cherry collection, and on the drying tables paid off. They had done it.
This is the very moment we met them. Malcolm and Jacquie had been so busy building Kinini Coffee that they were just getting around to figuring out how to sell the coffee. We fell in love with both the story and the coffee and snagged their first export to the United States last year. The quality demanded a price that helped to justify the amount of time and energy everyone had put into the venture. Farmers were happy with the new income stream and the price paid as well. The lot selection we chose was from the Tumba Village area, which I was lucky enough to visit the following spring. This is only the beginning of their story.

When homeowners hear “water heater,” most people picture the large, gray tank in the corner of their basement. They don’t necessarily understand how it works; they just know they need it to do its job. In fact, they don’t give much thought to their water heater at all—until it quits on them, of course.
But did you know approximately 17% of our energy consumption can be attributed to our water heaters—more than all other household appliances combined? For homeowners who are looking for ways to conserve energy and save money, it’s worth thinking about upgrading to a tankless water heater.
Enjoy continuous hot water. Unlike traditional water heaters that continually heat and store water in a tank, tankless water heaters heat water directly and only when it’s required. Cold water travels to the unit, where it’s warmed either by a gas burner or an electric heating element. Hot water is produced at a rate of 2-5 gallons per minute, and it never “runs out” as it does with tank water heaters.
Save money. According to energy.gov, you can save between 8% and 24% on your energy bills by installing a tankless water heater, depending on your water consumption. Although tankless units are more expensive than storage models and installation costs may be higher, tankless water heaters last longer (up to 10 years longer) and are less expensive to operate.
You may also qualify for a significant tax rebate the year you install a tankless water heater.
Conserve energy. Storage-type water heaters waste a significant amount of energy in standby heat loss. Electric, tankless water heaters don’t have that issue, because they expend energy to heat water only when it’s needed. If you’re considering a gas-powered tankless water heater, look for one equipped with a intermittent ignition device (IID) so your energy gains aren’t lost to a constantly burning pilot light.
Save space. Tankless water heaters are small and typically wall-mounted. They can be installed in multiple areas throughout your home to increase hot water production. If you tend to need hot water in multiple areas of your home at the same time—such as the shower, dishwasher, and washing machine—it’s worth considering multiple units.
Avoid plumbing emergencies. Ruptured water heaters are among the top five sources of water damage to homes, as reported by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. Because tankless water heaters don’t store gallons and gallons of water, you’re never at risk of water heater-related flood.
Have questions about tankless water heaters? Wondering if making the switch is a smart move for your family? Culpeper county plumber Culpeper Home Services is happy to help. We’ve been helping our Virginia neighbors make smart plumbing decisions for decades.

This article explains the Dundas BI versioning convention and describes how license files work with different versions.
D - Represents the Revision version of Dundas BI.
A major release generally contains a wide range of new features in addition to all defect fixes addressed since the previous major release. Installing or upgrading to a major version release requires a new license file. If you have a valid support subscription your new license is free (just generate the new license file from the Support Site or contact your account manager).
A minor release generally includes all defect fixes since the last minor release, and potentially a small number of new features.
A version 2.5 license will work for all Dundas BI 2.5.x releases.
A version 2.5.1 license will work for the Dundas BI 2.5.2 release.
A major or minor release may appear with a Revision number attached. A revision version is a replacement version for a major/minor release which generally incorporates a small number of high priority defect fixes. Upgrading to a revision release does not require a new license file.

Some time ago I had to give a hand to my girlfriend in writing one of her physics papers using LaTeX. Obviously she provided the content, and asked me for some advice on how to write the LaTeX code. It wasn’t a though task, but the source code was a real mess because of all the (sometimes huge) equations being mixed up with the text.

Radiesse, which recently launched its newer product Radiesse Plus which contains the same ingredients with the addition of lidocaine, was FDA approved last week for use in hand rejuvenation. We have been using Radiesse for hands, in an off label capacity, for years but we finally have the backing of the FDA as a safe option to rejuvenate the hands.
Radiesse for hands improves crepey or loose skin on the back of hands and also can help minimize the appearance of unsightly veins. It does not change the quality of the skin or change the color of the skin or improved brown spots, but Radiesse for hands can help the hands look fuller with less loose skin.
The filler can be performed all at once on both hands or one hand at a time. It generally takes a minimum of one syringe per hand, though most individuals will need approximately 3 syringes total.
The hands can swell for 3-5 days after the injection which is why some patients opt to perform each hand separately but it may be better to have both performed at the same time to overlap the mild recovery. There is minimal to no discomfort and the results can last 9-12 months.

All of these requirements are also required of the President, Vice President, Governors, Lieutenant Governors, and Supreme Court Justices.
To ensure enough maturity and enough experience, presidential candidates must be at least thirty-five years old.
The Valentine Constitution reserves elected office for Citizens born and raised in America in order to protect against potential disloyalty. Home is where the heart is. It never goes away. Where you were born and raised is where your loyalties lie. There is no reason to take a chance when there are so many qualified American-born Citizens to fill our elected offices and justiceships. We have plenty enough Citizens with America in their blood to need to make exceptions for those who do not. Our candidates should be steeped in our government, culture, values and traditions, so they have knowledge commensurate with the position. We have plenty enough Citizens with America in their blood to need to make exceptions for those who do not. Two years time is allowed for those born to personnel in US missions like the Armed Forces to return home.
If a candidate is elected to represent the nation, then the candidate should know the place and its people better than nearly anyone since the candidate will be passing laws which may greatly affect the place and the people. It takes 20 years to fully know a place and its people, Candidates will need to demonstrate a serious desire to live and work here in America.
Eight years is plenty of time for a President and a Vice President to accomplish the goals they are likely to accomplish and to avoid a stale agenda.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms these provisions of The Madison Constitution giving the President the authority and obligation to submit the budget for review by the Legislature, and to inform the Legislature who is receiving money from the office of the President and how much, and to issue executive orders to both execute our laws and uphold the Constitution by promulgation, and to communicate executive policy and awaited decisions by memorandum. It preserves the executive order which has been invoked in many forms by nearly all of Our Presidents beginning with Washington.
The Valentine Constitution preserves these standard powers given to the President by The Madison Constitution. The President may unilaterally run the Federal government, make contracts with the States, recognize new nations, and negotiate executive agreements with foreign powers. The latter gives us a buffer in negotiations much like a husband agreeing to a purchase but having to clear it with his wife. Whereas to make a treaty the President will require a 2/3 concurrence of Our Senators.
The Valentine Constitution allows our nation to finalize “Indian affairs.” “One nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” Native Americans will be united with the other Citizens of The United States with justice and fairness and common sense applied in ending their obscure status. There can be no privileged or unprivileged Citizens in a democracy, nor any nations within our nation, nor any peoples operating under a separate set of rules. Our Declaration of Independence “assumes among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle us.” Equality was invoked at the founding of our nation and we have waged too many battles and lost too many lives in its support to allow its obfuscation. These affairs will be finally negotiated and result in Native Americans becoming full Citizens like all others and subject to our laws like all others.
Likewise a final decision must be made concerning some of America’s “protectorates” like Puerto Rico and Guam. It’s high time that people living on separate lands not States of our union be allowed to exercise their God-given right to self-determination, a right invoked by us to found our democracy. Nations around the world must be made whole not on the artificial divisions created by conquering outsiders but on the boundaries natural to the common sense realities of belonging.
The Valentine Constitution allows the President as Commander in Chief to control the resources necessary to defend us and secure the general welfare including the command of the State Guards which together will form our National Guard and be at the command of Governors as a check and balance to Federal authority. When the Governors of two or more states cannot agree, due to some political or logistic or budgetary issue, on the manner of deployment of their State Guards across state lines for example in an emergency relief effort, then the President has the right to take command and solve the problem. Likewise when any State Guards are needed to support Our Armed Forces, the President will be able to take command of them so that we do not have too many generals spoiling the strategy.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms the check and balance by Our Representatives to deny funding for the deployment of Our Armed Forces, and by Our Senators to halt the deployment in case the deployment is deemed unreasonable, unpopular, overzealous or hasty.
Please see Article I, Part V. Section 3.
The Madison Constitution puts no limits on the time it takes for the Legislators to approve Executive appointments. This has led to long term vacancies and delayed work due to vacated offices and by Legislatures often sidelined by the political implications of certain important vacancies. This is not what Madison intended. The problem is therefore rectified by The Valentine Constitution which puts time limits on the approval of each appointee, and, whenever three appointees for the same job are rejected by the Legislators, calls for Our Citizens to elect the appointee from the rejected nominees.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms The Madison Constitution’s provisions allowing the President to appoint inferior offices without the approval of Congress, and to fill vacancies during recess.
The Madison Constitution ensures that principle officers of our government are obligated to present to Our President in writing the particulars of the performance of their duties. The Valentine Constitution adds State agencies to the requirement thereby providing a check and balance by the Federal Executive on the State Executive, and in a later provision provides the State Governors with the reciprocal authority to complete the check and balance.
The Madison Constitution’s legislation introduction and veto powers live on in The Valentine Constitution, as do the State of the Union tradition and the recommendations authority. The veto is a tool for checking and balancing the power of the Legislature as are the legislation introduction and recommendations powers which allow the President to continue to represent the nation as a whole and Our Citizens in particular by presenting legislation and recommendations and petitions which address grievances on their behalf in Congress.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms The Madison Constitution’s provisions allowing the President to convene a Congress not in session should a crisis arise or should there be unfinished business on the calendar, or to adjourn a hotly conflicted Legislature.
The Madison Constitution’s provision allowing the President to pardon criminals is affirmed by The Valentine Constitution as a tool for accomplishing various useful tasks like invoking the principles of fairness and justice in cases where the letter of the law has conflicted with its spirit, or when the prosecuting authorities got a case wrong, or to send messages to overzealous courts or law enforcement agencies, or simply to save time and money by doing the expedient thing like releasing a severely disabled prisoner, or a prisoner so old as to no longer be a threat, or one requiring isolation for their own protection.
The Madison Constitution’s provision may well be both a power and a limitation since it both allows and requires the execution of our laws. Left out by Madison but included by Valentine are the words “all of,” to ensure if not the equal execution of all of them, then at least not the neglect or avoidance or suspension of any. The Presidential discretion afforded in executing the laws is now balanced by the concurrent mandate that they are “obeyed” by all, the President included. Furthermore, execution could easily mean simply passing legislation to invoke them without following up on the success of the legislation. What good is setting up a department if it doesn’t do its job?
The Madison Constitution’s provisions are reaffirmed allowing the Vice President to preside over The Senate and to break the odd tie amongst Our Senators. The Valentine Constitution augments those powers by allowing the Vice President to ensure that the proceedings of Our Representatives are also in order, and to break a tie amongst Our Representatives as well as amongst our Senators, as a matter of a logical extension of his procedural oversight and as matter of expediency. Further power is extended as a check and balance on the States by allowing the Vice President to ensure that the procedures of Our State Legislatures are also in order. Giving the Vice President procedural oversight in the State Legislatures is a relatively powerless position but it does keep the State Legislatures honest and ensures that all State Legislatures are practicing the standards set forth herein, and that they be practiced uniformly so that our Citizens can better follow the legislature of whatever State they live in.
To ensure enough maturity and enough experience, gubernatorial candidates must be at least thirty-five years old. The Valentine Constitution reserves elected office for Citizens born and raised in America in order to protect against potential disloyalty. Where you were born and raised is where your loyalties lie. There is no reason to take a chance when there are so many qualified American-born Citizens to fill our elected offices and justiceships. Furthermore, our candidates should be steeped in our government, culture, values and traditions. We have plenty enough Citizens with America in their blood to need to make exceptions for those who do not. If a candidate is elected to represent a constituency, then the candidate should know the place and its people better than nearly anyone since the candidate will be passing laws which may greatly affect the place and the people. It takes ten years to fully know a place and its people, but if you’re running for one of the big offices, you’re going to need to demonstrate a serious desire to live and work where you’re running. Eight years is plenty of time for a Governor and Lieutenant Governor to accomplish the goals they are likely to accomplish and to avoid a stale agenda.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms these provisions of The Madison Constitution giving the Governor the authority and obligation to submit the budget for review by the State Legislature, and to inform the State Legislature who is receiving money from the office of the Governor and how much, and to issue executive orders to both execute our laws and uphold the Constitution by promulgation, and to communicate executive policy and awaited decisions by memorandum.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms the authority granted to the Governors of most states to receive public ministers and to negotiate, without legislative approval, executive agreements with the Federal government and with other States.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms the authority granted to the Governors of most states to command the State Guard which will include coordinating with the Governors of adjacent States and if necessary the Armed Forces. The State Guard under The Valentine Constitution has added duties and acts as a check and balance to Federal power. The Governor’s command authority and responsibility extends to Emergency Relief, urban and forest fire and paramedics, traffic and stranded motorist assistance, as well as crowd control and protection of demonstrators and property, as all will fall to the State Guard.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms the check and balance by the State’s Councilors to deny funding, or the State’s Legislators to halt the deployment of the State Guard in case a Governor is overly zealous or the deployment unpopular or unreasonable or hasty.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms the authority granted to the Governors of most states to appoint the officers or various departments and agencies with the approval of the State Legislature, but shortens the time for confirmation to ensure that the government is staffed to do its important work.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms provisions of most States allowing the Governor to appoint inferior offices without the approval of Congress, and to fill vacancies during recess.
The Valentine Constitution ensures that principal officers of our State governments are obligated to present to Our State Governors in writing the particulars of the performance of their duties. The Valentine Constitution adds Federal agencies to the requirement thereby providing a check and balance by the State Executives on the Federal Executive, and in an earlier provision provides Our President with the same reciprocal authority to complete the check and balance.
As now provided by most States the Governor’s legislation introduction and veto powers, the State of the Union tradition and the recommendations authority live on in The Valentine Constitution. The veto is a tool for checking and balancing the power of the Legislature as are the legislation introduction and recommendations powers which allow the Governor to continue to represent the State as a whole and Our Citizens in particular by presenting legislation and recommendations and petitions which address grievances on their behalf in the State Legislature.
The Valentine Constitution reaffirms the provisions by most States allowing the Governor to convene a Legislature not in session should a crisis arise or should there be unfinished business on the calendar, or to adjourn a hotly conflicted Legislature.
The provision of most States allowing the Governor to pardon criminals is affirmed by The Valentine Constitution as a tool for accomplishing various useful tasks like invoking the principles of fairness and justice in cases where the letter of the law has conflicted with its spirit, or when the prosecuting authorities got a case wrong, or to send messages to overzealous courts or law enforcement agencies, or simply to save time and money by doing the expedient thing like releasing a severely disabled prisoner, or a prisoner so old as to no longer be a threat, or one requiring isolation for their own protection.
The provision may well be both a power and a limitation since it both allows and requires the execution of our laws. The Gubernatorial discretion afforded under this provision is balanced by the concurrent mandate to both execute the laws, and to obey them. The Valentine Constitution includes the words “all of,” to ensure if not the equal execution of all of them, then at least not the neglect or avoidance or suspension or disobedience of any.
The provision by most States is affirmed allowing the Lieutenant Governor to preside over the upper house of the State Legislature and to break the odd tie. The Valentine Constitution augments those powers by allowing the Lieutenant Governor to ensure that the proceedings of Our Councilors are also in order, and to break a tie amongst Our Councilors and Legislators, as a matter of a logical extension of his procedural oversight and as matter of expediency. Further power is extended as a check and balance on the Federal government by allowing the Lieutenant Governor to ensure that the procedures of Our Federal Legislatures are also in order. Giving the Lieutenant Governor procedural oversight in the Federal Legislatures while relatively powerless, keeps the Federal Legislatures honest and ensures they are practicing the standards set forth herein so our Citizens can better monitor Our Legislatures.

Are you a Health Graph (@healthgraphapi) partner with an iOS app of your own? And do you encourage your users to track their fitness activities using the RunKeeper (@runkeeper) app?
If you do and you want a way to ease their transition from your experience into RunKeeper tracking, we’ve got just the ticket!
Present the user with a button in your app that they can click to launch RunKeeper.
If the user has an up to date RunKeeper release installed, the RunKeeper app should launch and they can begin tracking immediately.
If the user has an older copy of RunKeeper, or hasn’t installed the RunKeeper app yet, prompt them to install the latest RunKeeper release from iTunes and then they can begin tracking after installation.
Here’s an example of how you might implement this, taken from our partner GymPact (@gympact; learn more about GymPact from this previous partner profile).
First up, notice how GymPact places a prominent RunKeeper button on their app homescreen once a user connects their GymPact account to a RunKeeper account (connection is a one time only operation per user).
Once the user clicks that button, GymPact loads this RunKeeper screen to provide additional context before starting the RunKeeper app.
Clicking on the “Connected – Get Running!” button on the screen above tells the user they’re about to open the RunKeeper app if they have it, or that they need to install the RunKeeper app if they don’t already have it installed.
From here they can grab RunKeeper from the App Store if need be and then away they go!
We hope this will be useful for many of our iOS app partners. Please give it a try and let us know what feedback and requests you have.
And Android partners, fear not, we have you covered too: Similar support is coming in our next Android app release. This will be supported via Android Intents. More details once that release is available in the Google Play store.

This has indeed been a very interesting week for the 5 of us here in Oslo. While all the students at Toneheim were on holidays, the 5 of us were touring the most of Oslo doing what we love doing…teaching music the South African way and having small concerts. It was not difficult finding our ways around the city to and from the seminar/rehearsal venue at all because we had a little help from our friend Hanne Cecilie and also everything here in Norway has been made very easy by the internet. All you have to do is to “download the right Application on your mobile”…they say.
We started the work period by having a meeting and dining with Ellen Neverdal at her home and I must say the food was delicious.
From teaching the significance of music and dance in Field BandFoundation to 24-30year olds we moved on to sharing our music with 6-9year olds. We visited Aurskog skolekorps, Linderud skolekorps, Lakkegata skole korps and Grunerløkka skolekorps. All these bands are situated in schools where the pupils have various cultural backgrounds. Now it is always so fascinating to work with these young ones.
The youngest member we had was 6 years old playing the Flute and she played so well. She kept saying her name the right way, because I kept on pronouncing it wrong. Norwegian names are kind of difficult for us to pronounce, not to mention remembering them, just as some South African names may be hard for the Norwegians. Many of the little ones in Linderud and Lakkegata were not that fluent in English. That meant that I had to go all out with the little Norwegian that I knew when I would present the 5 of us, explain why we were there and the songs that we were playing and teaching.
I struggled a bit when I asked the Trombones at Lakkegata skole to play me a “Bb-major” (1st position) and they then played me a “D-major” (7th position).I had to play the note over and over again, until one girl said to me; det er B, ikke “B-flat”, (meaning that is a B and not a B-flat) and then came Eb…she said to me, det er “Ess” ikke E-flat. So I told myself that I will never forget those two notes as long as I am in Norway. There was one small boy who was really tired from all dancing while playing, so 30minutes before we ended, while Thulani stopped the band after the song, this little one shouted “Takk for idag” (Thank you for the day) which is a way of saying that the rehearsal is over and everyone can leave. The 5 of us could not help, but to laugh, because that is exactly how we felt when we started here in Norway without understanding the language, that sentence was the very first and very important sentence that we quickly remembered and never forgot it up unto today.
Two of the little ones while we had a small break in between the rehearsal decided to use their rehearsal time to work on their dancing, and I must say they were truly amazing at dancing. Amazing how music can unite people. We spent the entire week teaching social inclusion and health promotion through the activity of music and we have really focused on the social inclusion in all the bands/schools we visited.
We closed the week by performing at Orkis Røde kors in Oslo where we had those guys on their feet actually dancing. After a succesful week we celebrated with BBQ Ribs at FRIDAYS Restaurant. What a way to end the week, it almost felt like home for us.

One of the things you may need is to have cosmetic surgery. There are times you need to have some parts of the body reconstructed. Birth defects, disease, burns and stress are problems where the body may need to be corrected. That is why you need to look for an expert like Dr. Garo to help you. Choosing wisely is important when it comes to looking to have things done in the body. What can you get when you choose the right expert for the surgery? Here are some things to look at.
We always wanted to get the right results, like Dr. Garo, and surgeons like him. It is important to check the track record of the surgeon before you make an engagement. The thing is that you will be able to learn much about the best surgeon out there. Ask people you know how great a certain surgeon is. It would help to use the information you get to know much about the surgeon. Make sure you are able to check the credentials of the doctor. A lot can be said about the doctor based on the credentials. In most areas, it is relatively easy to ask for the surgeon’s credentials. There are some surgeons such as Dr. Garo, who may have listed the credentials online making things easier for you. Make sure to consider the educational background of the surgeon. It is easy to pick a good one based on the trainings and admissions to boards or academies. A professional organization can also be a nice place to find a surgeon.
It will help if you can ask some info or get a referral from a general practitioner. This is important since the surgeon may need to get your medical history before the operation.
Experience can be a great indicator that a surgeon is more than fit to provide the service. In some cases, doctors offer free consultations to bring up the fitness of having surgery.
Start to doubt, if the surgeon will give tremendous discounts. Fly the red flag if the doctor is giving you a huge discount. The reasonable price is a key when looking for the best service.
Safety is a huge consideration when you choose the right expert. Any surgery carries a lot of risk. Complications may happen later. Make sure to invest in a good doctor like Dr. Garo Kassabian. The right surgeons like Garo Kassabian will tell you the truth and give the correct advice. It is important to get all the information and make sure you are able to make the right decisions. Aside from that, doctors will educate the patients on how to take care of themselves.

It was a difficult day on Wall Street for both Pandora Media and Discovery Communications, as both companies released second-quarter earnings that will likely see displeasure from many shareholders.
Pandora saw its stock dip some 5.8%, to $8.95, ahead of a Q2 earnings report reflecting a drop in total listener hours and a much wider net loss.
Meanwhile, Discovery shares finished the day off 8.2%, to $24.60, after the company failed to meet the Street on its earnings estimates—results that came as Discovery agreed to a $90 per-share acquisition of Scripps Interactive Networks.
Also on Wall Street today, Urban One was down 7.5%, to $1.85, while TEGNA fell 3.5%, to $14.83.
For a full look at today’s closing prices, please visit the Wall Street Report on the homepage of RBR.com.

“At the legal limit the Kia is a stable tow car and in an emergency lane-change the cee’d Sportswagon performed well, always pulling the caravan straight again, even when it stepped out of line,” he added.
Simon Hetherington, Commercial Director of Kia Motor (UK) Limited said: ”This honour endorses everything our customers tell us – and the cee’d Sportswagon is very popular amongst the caravanning community. They love the blend of economy, refinement and of course the industry-leading seven year warranty.
“We are delighted to win this award because it sums up the dedication our engineers have committed to developing affordable, responsible motoring in today’s budget-conscious marketplace whilst not sacrificing dynamic ability or desirable creature comforts,” he said.

By J. Charles Delbeek Posted Nov 14, 2002 07:00 PM Pomacanthus Publications, Inc.
In reading through the literature, both print and on the Internet, one can find a lot of speculation on its ecology and behaviour.
The bulb tentacle anemone, Entacmaea quadricolor is one of the more popular anemone species in the aquarium trade and luckily, one of the easiest to keep. Their colors are highly variable from brown to green to red (the most desirable of which are the rose-colored varieties) with various combinations and patterns. In reading through the literature, both print and on the Internet, one can find a lot of speculation on its ecology and behaviour.
One of the most perplexing phenomena involves the formation of bulbs on the tips of the tentacles. In aquaria, the tentacles of bulb tipped specimens commonly become gradually "stringy" for lack of a better term, loosing the characteristic bulb tips in the process. Some have speculated that feeding is important, others that anemonefish need to be present to stimulate the anemone while some have felt that light intensity may play a role. However, in the specimens that I have seen in the wild, bulb tips are commonly observed even in areas or depths that may not immediately be presumed to have high light levels. It is also not unusual to find specimens with a mixture of bulb tips and smooth tips in the same animal.
At the Waikiki Aquarium, there was a 350-gallon anemone and clownfish exhibit that had been in operation for about 8 years. This was an open system with a slow trickle of water from a saltwater well. There was a bottom filter plate covered with coral gravel and live rock, with an airlift in each corner. A Little Giant 3MD pump was attached to one of the airlift pipes and water was returned via a subsurface return to create a gentle current. The exhibit contained a collection of anemones including a Merten’s sea anemone Stichodactyla mertensii, several Heteractis crispa, and a large number of E. quadricolor (these had multiplied via fission several times over the years producing over twenty offspring). Each anemone was fed pieces of previously frozen shrimp once a week. The tank also contained fifteen tank- raised Amphiprion ocellaris, a pair of A. leucocranos clownfish, a mimic filefish ( Paraluteres prionurus ), a Valentin’s toby ( Canthigaster valentini ), two coral beauties ( Centropyge bispinosus ), a six-bar angelfish ( Pomacanthus sexstriatus ) that was replaced in 1996 with a gold flake angelfish ( Apolemichthys xanthopunctatus ) as the six-bar had gotten too large and was moved to another exhibit. The tank was lit by two 250 W, 5500 K metal halide pendants when first set up in 1994, as well as receiving direct natural sunlight through overhead acrylic roofing for about two hours in the middle of the day. In 1996 one of the fixtures failed and was never replaced. In 2000 the remaining fixture was replaced due to failure with a four foot fluorescent fixture containing two 48 W actinic/white URI lamps. During this entire period the Entacmaea rarely exhibited bulb tips. In some cases, a few tentacles on an anemone would develop bulbs, and in some cases an entire anemone would exhibit bulb tips for a few weeks but not in any predictable pattern and not all the Entacmaea in the tank would exhibit bulb tips. Since the some of the anemones without bulb tipped tentacles had clownfish and they were all feed on a regular basis, this left light as the remaining suspected factor to be investigated.
The Waikiki Aquarium’s Reef Partners exhibit, highlighting clownfish and anemones, 1997. Photo taken with natural light. Note a few tentacles with bulb tips here and there. J.C. Delbeek.
In October 2001 this exhibit was taken down and moved to an outside location due to renovations that were to be done to the South Pacific Gallery the exhibit was located in. The outside location was on a wooden deck in the public area and was placed in full sun next to a tree. Feeding, water source, water motion and filtration remained the same. The fish population was slightly changed with a copperband butterflyfish and a pair of bicolor angels ( Centropyge bicolor ) added to replace the coral beauties. Due to concerns of possible light shock as well as increased ultraviolet light exposure, an acrylic panel was placed over the tank along with a double layer of shade cloth. The shade cloth was removed in December but the acrylic cover remained until the animals were moved. Once the shade cloth was removed, the Entacmaea began to lighten slightly in color and just about all of them developed a bi-color pattern with white to cream colored tips, some even with green hi-lights, and a bulb present on each tentacle. In late May of 2002 the animals were moved into their new exhibit inside the building and the tank was removed.
In 1999 I had taken light measurements in the anemone exhibit. Upon observing the presence of bulb tips in the anemones in the outdoor exhibit in 2002 I decided to measure light levels in this exhibit when the chance arose and compared it to the data I had gathered in 1999.
In August 1999, a LiCor LI-1000 data logger was used in combination with a calibrated LiCor LI-193SA spherical quantum sensor to measure PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) levels over a three-day period, at a depth of 24". The LiCor unit took continuous PAR measurements from 07:15 until 18:30. Every fifteen minutes the maximum and mean PAR values from this time period were calculated and stored in memory. Measurements were cut short on the third day due to exhibit maintenance. The data was then transferred via an ASCII dump and serial cable from the data logger unit into a computer and graphed using MS Excel.
On August 1st, 2nd and 3rd of 2002 it was decided to take PAR measurements again. The original tank had been removed but another, identical tank was still outside so this was moved into the exact same position as the anemone tank. The tank was filled with water and gravel placed inside, and the LiCor sensor was placed 24” below the surface. The same acrylic cover as originally used was then placed over the tank and PAR measurements were taken. Shade cloth was then added and PAR measurements were again taken on August 16th, 17th and 18th (the delay was due to several weeks of high cloud and overcast conditions). No values were collected prior to 08:30 or after 18:00 since the threshold PAR level of 50 uM/m2/s was not reached and the data logger was not triggered to record. The mean and maximum values for both shaded and normal conditions were then graphed and compared to those taken in 1999 (figures 1 to 8).
Figures 1 and 2 (mean and maximum PAR) show that light levels in the indoor tank began to gradually increase at 07:00 as the sun rose into the sky. The greatest increase began at 10:30 corresponding to the sun rising above the concrete wall of the building and shining directly onto the tank. There was then a slight drop in PAR around 11:15 and again at 12:45. These dips in light intensity between 11:15 and 12:45 each day were due to the shadow of one of the skylight support beams falling over the sensor (see photo 5). However, since the shadow was narrow, other areas of the tank would still have received full sunlight. The greatest PAR levels occurred between 11:00 and 13:15 reaching a maximum 1448 uM/m2/s at 12:00 when the sun was shining directly into the tank and no shadows from the skylight hardware were over the sensor. The sharp drop after 13:15 was due to the sun passing behind the concrete wall on the ocean side of the building and thus, direct sunlight no longer fell on the water surface of the tank, though indirect light continued to impact the exhibit until sunset. Drops in PAR seen on one day but not others were most likely due to passing clouds. From 07:15 to 10:45, and from 13:15 to 18:15 PAR levels did not exceed 300 uM/m2/s. Therefore, for 8.5 hours PAR levels were less than 300 uM/m2/s and maximum levels were attained for only 2.5 hours.
Figure 1. Mean PAR levels recorded over three successive days in the indoor anemone exhibit in August 1999.
Figure 2. Maximum PAR levels recorded over three successive days in the indoor anemone exhibit in August 1999.
Figures 3 and 4 show the mean and maximum PAR values in August of 2002 without (8/1-8/3) and with (8/16-8/18) shade cloth installed on the outdoor exhibit. At the outdoor location, buildings and nearby trees impacted the light field at certain portions of the day. The most noticeable ones can be seen in figures 3 and 4 at 12:15 and 14:45 when there was a dramatic drop in mean and maximum PAR values due to the shadow of a palm tree passing over the sensor. When no shade cloth was used maximum PAR values exceeded 500 uM/m2/s between 09:00 and 17:15 and between 09:45 and 15:45 maximum PAR values exceeded 1500 uM/m2/s. The maximum PAR value reached was 2634 uM/m2/s at 13:45. When shade cloth was added to the cover, PAR values (both mean and maximum) were dramatically lower and did not rise above 500 uM/m2/s over the duration of any of the three days.
Figure 3. Mean PAR levels with and without shade cloth recorded over three successive days in August 2002.
Figure 4. Maximum PAR levels with and without shade cloth recorded over three successive days in August 2002.
Figures 5 and 6 compare the mean and maximum PAR values of the indoor exhibit versus the values of the outdoor tank without shade cloth. It is clear that the outdoor tank not only received higher PAR levels but also did so for a much longer duration.
Figure 5. Comparison of mean PAR levels without shade cloth recorded over three successive days in the outdoor tank in August 2002 and in the indoor exhibit in August 2002.
Figure 6. Comparison of mean PAR levels without shade cloth recorded over three successive days in the outdoor tank in August 2002 and in the indoor exhibit in August 2002.
Figures 7 and 8 compare the mean and maximum PAR values of the indoor exhibit versus the values of the outdoor tank with shade cloth. In this case, the outdoor tank tended to exhibit two to three times higher PAR values than the indoor tank between 07:15 and 10:15, and between 13:15 and 17:15. However, from 10:15 to 13:15 the indoor tank exhibited much higher levels than the outdoor tank.

Figure 8. Comparison of maximum PAR levels with shade cloth recorded over three successive days in the outdoor tank in August 2002 and in the indoor exhibit in August 2002.
The factors that are involved in bulb tentacle development in E. quadricolor have been speculated upon for several years. Most of these have been based upon anecdotal cause and effect observations, speculation and rumors perpetuated via print and electronic media. To be sure, there are many instances where bulb tips disappear and reappear for no apparent reason. Combine this with the fact that there are at least two recognized forms of E. quadricolor (shallow and deepwater), and it becomes apparent that predicting the behaviour of these animals becomes problematic. This study, by no means the definitive word, offers documented evidence for the role of light in the development of bulb tips.
There were several sources of potential error. Although this investigation compared data over two distinct time periods (1999 and 2002), they were taken in the same month (August) and the differences in light levels between the indoor and outdoor locations are significant and not likely due to differences in the years. Another source of error may be that the light measurements taken in 2002 occurred several months after the animals were removed from the exhibit. This means that the light levels from October 2001 till May 2002 may have been slightly lower and the photoperiod would have been shorter than in August 2002. However, even under these conditions light levels would still have been greater than those recorded indoors in 1999 and bulb tips did appear in the outdoors exhibit during this time frame. Photoperiod would have been shorter than in August of 1999, but since these difference would have been most apparent at the beginning and end of the day, when the indoor exhibit would not have received direct light anyway, it is unlikely it would have had any great effect on the final results.
From this investigation it was readily apparent that both light intensity and duration were extended in the outdoor location compared to the indoor location. This makes it tempting to assume that both factors may be of importance, but they may also be mutually exclusive; unfortunately this cannot be determined from the data in this study.
Since being moved indoors in May 2002, many of the E. quadricolor in the new exhibit (basically in the same position as the old indoor exhibit) have retained their bulb tips but some show signs of loosing them. Several E. quadricolor were also placed in a 5500 gallon reef exhibit that receives more hours of direct sunlight than the new anemone exhibit. Several of the anemones in this exhibit have moved to various locations in the tank (shallow vs. deep, low current vs. high current) so it will be interesting to note if they retain their bulb tips and for how long.
Reproduction in E. quadricolor takes two forms, sexual and asexual. Asexual reproduction has been well-documented by hobbyists and was a common occurrence in this exhibit as well resulting in a large population of these anemones such that the live rock was nearly invisible when all the anemones were expanded. Sexual reproduction also occurs in this tank (see Sprung and Delbeek, 1997) and to the best of my knowledge, is the only such population in captivity that regularly does so each year. Spawning usually occurs between April and May between 0700 and 0900 a few days after a full moon has occurred. In April 2002 we were fortunate to once again witness not only the sperm release but also the release of planulae. Sperm release can occur in the morning but we have also observed it occurring in the late afternoon and this was the case this year. The exhibit was found to be rather cloudy in the late afternoon of April 25th and the incoming water flow was increased to ensure the sperm did not foul the water by being allowed to accumulate for too long and lowering oxygen levels. Four days later, on the morning of April 29th numerous green sphere-like objects were observed floating in the water. Upon closer examination it was found that the tentacle tips of several colonies of E. quadricolor contained these same spheres. Occasionally a few were observed being released from the tips of the tentacles. From previous experiences we knew these to be anemone embryos (see Sprung and Delbeek, 1997 for photos of the embryos and settled juveniles). A few days later there were still some visible in the tentacles and these were observed to be actually rotating and moving within the tentacles, and were more oblong in shape. It appeared as if the embryos had developed into planulae in the anemone and would shortly be released as such into the water. From my observations it would appear that E. quadricolor is dioecious, with males releasing sperm into the water column to be taken in by the females where their eggs are fertilized internally. A few days later embryos/planulae are released into the water column via the tentacle tips. Sprung and Delbeek (1997) also documented the presence of zooxanthellae in juvenile E. quadricolor only a few days after settlement. This time a few embryos were placed under a microscope and were found to contain zooxanthellae as well. Therefore, not only does the female brood the embryos for a short period but she also supplies them with their initial supply of zooxanthellae. As a result it is probable that these planulae can either settle very quickly and metamorphose into fully functional anemones, or they can spend a great deal of time in the plankton till they find a suitable substratum to settle on, without the need for feeding.
As an aside, Stichodactyla gigantea is also dioecious in nature with the females ingesting the sperm and fertilizing their embryos internally. However, unlike E. quadricolor, the embryos are internally brooded, developing into miniature copies of the adult. These juveniles are then egested from the mouth where they then drift in the current till they settle onto the substratum (L. Sharon, pers. comm., 1999). We were lucky to receive four of these juveniles in October 1999 from a coral farm in Belau (Palau); two green ones and two brown ones with an average oral disc diameter of approximately 4 cm (1.6 inches). These were placed in floating baskets in outdoor holding tanks in direct sunlight. Within the following three years one of the brown ones developed blue tentacles and all four had grown such that they had to be separated into individual baskets. At the present time (August 2002) the oral disk diameters of all four average approximately 30 cm (12 inches) when fully expanded. That means that there has been an almost eight fold increase in diameter in three years. I am confident that if the anemones had been directly feed on a regular basis they would have grown even larger (and perhaps faster) in those three years.
This brings up the question of age. Fautin and Allen (1992) proposed that large anemones could be more than a century old. While I do not dispute that some anemones may indeed be very long lived, to infer that something must be old simply because it is large is not entirely valid in my opinion. In the case of our S. gigantea, I think it would be safe to say that they should attain a diameter of close to a meter in less than ten years. We also have a S. mertensii that we have had for 12 years that is almost a meter in diameter when fully expanded. However, I should point that, as with giant clams (e.g. Tridacna gigas ), the growth rates of partner sea anemone species may be fairly rapid in the first decade, only to slow with advancing age. So yes, old anemones may be large but the opposite may not be necessarily true.

SCIENCE OF DETECTING STATUS OF A PERSON BASED ON DOSHAS.
Pulse diagnosis is the ancient Ayurveda science of detecting the existing status of a person’s physiological and psychological status based on Doshas. Nadi or pulse is that vital flow of energy or life that courses through body primarily in blood vessels, and enables the Vaidya to feel the way the blood spurts from the heart. Pulse reading helps an experienced Vaidya to know about Doshas, Subdoshas and their interaction with Dhatus. Pulse reading is to be learnt under the guidance of an experienced Vaidya through practice, and concentration. Vaidya is able to diagnose the imbalances within a person’s body by touching, pressing and feeling the different combinations of the pulse.
Ayurveda reiterates that all living beings are the permutation and combination of the five basic elements – Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. These five elements constitute the three major biological components – the three Doshas – Vata (Ether + Air), Pitta (Fire + Water) and Kapha (Water + Earth).
Health and Disease is caused by nothing else but the balance and imbalance of these Doshas. Health follows when the Doshas are balanced and disease when they are imbalanced. There are five subtypes of each Dosha. Doshas interact with Agni (digestive fire and metabolic fire), Dhatus (Tissues) and Malas (Metabolic Waste Materials). Grossly speaking, the pulse results from pressure force through arteries that moves blood from heart to all tissues. Rate, rhythm, force and temperature are some common factors that any medical personnel or health care worker can feel. Ayurveda takes it Pulse Reading to another dimension and helps Vaidya to fetch more information from it.

I have seen this for less, but not in a while. I actually used this site to price match to my local best buy for easier returns if I'm not in love with it.
You gave thanks to bsummmit for this post.
bsummmit posted this deal. Say thanks!
Forgot to note, this is a TN panel.
Grabbed a few of these at Walmart on clearance for a buddy and myself. Wonderful monitor imo.
Super jealous. It's still 600 dollars at all my local walmarts. there was one store that had it at 300, but stores don't match one another, which is a bummer. I'm going to compare this to my old 24" 144hz TN and a Samsung CHG70.
This monitor dropped at my local Walmart to $154!! Grabbed 3. YMMV big time. I got lucky.

You sure did, now go buy some lottery tickets.
Yeah. I had 0 luck with that route. This is the cheapest, best spec'd gsync monitor i've seen in weeks.
If someone finds better, let me know so I can consider revising my choice.
Never dealt with Micro Center, how are they on returns for dead pixels or backlight bleed?
MicroCenter lets you return anything if you're not satisfied in my experience. Probably the best brick and mortar return policy for electronics. I went through 4 Asus monitors due to backlight bleed and they told me they had a guy who went through 10!
Hmm, seems better than the S2716DGR by an additional 21Hz, I wonder if it's the same exact panel (but overclocked to 165Hz).
Tried to order but it clears my cart and tells me to submit with another form of payment, even though MasterCard is an accepted form. Lame.
Best I was able to get was $300, and it was totally worth it. Thank you for pointing it out!
In store only and sold out..
Just use the micro center link to have best buy price match. 30 day free returns, no restocking fee for this item.
Wanted to post this as well. I went and picked up one. Aside from it being TN and not IPS, this unit is beautiful and especially for the price. Picture is amazing.

As per reports, the Banjara Hills police booked a case against Park Hyatt in Hyderabad for copyright violation, after the management of the hotel allegedly played audio tracks and videos of Bollywood films without acquiring proper permission.
The police registered a case on the orders of a city-based court, after Novex Communications moved a local magistrate. Novex which holds the on ground public performance rights of Zee Music, YRF, etc, had alleged in the complaint that no permission was sought from them by the 5- star hotel.
A case was booked under relevant sections of the Copyright Act, against Gayatri Hi-Tech Hotels Ltd.
In my post here, I had covered a list of cases filed by Novex before the Bombay and Delhi High Court.

I love the warm weather, wearing flip flops and hanging out at the pool and the type of person that is always cold. I have sweaters spread out all over the house and I usually wear one, even in the summer. When the air conditioner blows, I get goose bumps. I don’t mind when it’s hot outside and would much rather be hot than cold. I tense up and it makes my muscles sore. After Halloween, I usually start dreading the colder months. I don’t like standing at the bus stop early in the morning and shivering or like going out in the cold wind. I really have to make an effort so that I don’t get the winter blues and down in the dumps.
Stay active This is the hard one for me because I love to walk. When it gets cold I stay inside and don’t walk as far as I normally do I skip it all together. Taking a class or going the gym can make a huge difference.
Get outside My husband makes fun of me, but I make myself go outside. I wear hats, gloves, my ski jacket, scarf and boots. I make sure I go out on the sunny days to get some fresh air.
Do something fun Next, make sure you are visiting with friends, going to the movies, or eating out. You can get down in the dumps if you don’t make an effort to go out. It’s easy to get into the habit of staying inside, but don’t do that. Being in a social setting can make a huge difference.
Eat healthy food It’s so easy to get out of control during the holidays. There are so many wonderful foods and desserts. The new year comes and it can be cold and dreary and eating can definitely make you feel better. Stick with healthier foods to keep your energy up and feeling good.
Take vitamins– Every year at my physical my doctor tells me my vitamins D is low. This has happened, probably the last 3 years, so I’m being proactive. I bought some Nature Made® D3 to get on top of things. I never have this problem in the warmer months, only the winter. Nature Made® has a variety of vitamins, minerals and supplements (VMS) to help support nutritional gaps with your health goals in mind ranging from Digestive Support, Heart Health & Function, Energy Metabolism, Women’s Health and much more!† Just choose what you are needing to stay healthy!

The Universities of Edinburgh (UK), Ghent (Belgium) and Lund (Sweden) submitted a winning proposal for an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course in Fire Safety Engineering. The initiative was initiated by Prof. Bart Merci (Ghent University, co-ordinator), Prof. Jose Torero (formerly University of Edinburgh) and Prof. Robert Jönsson (formerly Lund University).
The curriculum concerns a two-year programme. The classes in the first semester, covering basic topics in Fire Safety Engineering (FSE), can be attended in Ghent or Edinburgh. All students spend the second semester in Lund, where emphasis lies on enclosure fire dynamics, risk analysis and human behaviour. In the third semester, classes are again taught in Ghent or Edinburgh. The fourth semester is devoted to the Masters thesis, hosted by one of the three institutes, or one of our partner organisations.
A limited number of fully funded scholarships are available. The EU has committed to fund 48 scholarships over the next 4 years.
A taught postgraduate MSc in Structural and Fire Safety Engineering aims to equip engineering graduates and working professionals with specialist training in the analysis and design of structures to resist fire and other extreme loads.
Innovative design allows more interesting and functional architecture but challenges traditional concepts of fire safety. To respond to these demands takes specialist knowledge and advanced skills in engineering analysis. This programme covers the fundamentals of fire science, including laboratory classes, fire safety engineering and relevant structural engineering topics, such as finite element methods. Students will gain knowledge of the critical issues in structural fire safety engineering, and an understanding of relevant fire and structural behaviours. You will become familiar with performance-based approaches to design and have an awareness of the capabilities – and limitations – of relevant advanced modelling methods for structures and fire.
Our Centre for Fire Safety Engineering hosts bespoke equipment to support groundbreaking research and teaching, with combined thermal and mechanical loading and use of the latest image analysis techniques.

FindACase | Lakin v. Bloomin' Brands, Inc.
Lakin v. Bloomin' Brands, Inc.
Bloomin' Brands, Inc., et al., Defendants.
Hon. Gershwin A. Drain United States District Court Judge.
Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike Affirmative Defenses of Gallagher Basset Services. Dkt. No. 47. Plaintiffs filed their complaint against Defendants on September 20, 2017. Dkt. No. 1. On February 1, 2018, Defendant Gallagher Basset Services, Inc., filed an answer to the complaint asserting affirmative defenses. Dkt. No. 42. On February 14, 2018, Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Strike Affirmative Defenses. Dkt. No. 47. Defendant responded to the Motion on February 28, 2018. Dkt. No. 48. Plaintiffs filed their reply on March 14, 2018. Dkt. No. 51.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f) governs motions to strike. Under the rule, courts may strike “an insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(f). The Sixth Circuit holds that striking a pleading is a “drastic remedy” that should only occur “when the pleading to be stricken has no possible relation to the controversy.” Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. v. U.S., 201 F.2d 819, 822 (6th Cir. 1953); see also Anderson v. U.S., 39 Fed.App'x 132, 135 (6th Cir. 2002); Hemlock Semiconductor Corp. v. Deutsche Solar GmbH, 116 F.Supp.3d 818, 823 (E.D. Mich. 2015).
1. Plaintiffs' Complaint fails to state a claim against GBS upon which relief can be granted.
3. Discovery may disclose that Plaintiffs failed to join necessary one or more necessary parties responsible in whole or in part for Plaintiffs' alleged damages.
12. There is no privity of contract between Plaintiffs and GBS, and thus there can be no claim against GBS for breach of contract.
13. There was no enforceable contract between Plaintiffs and GBS. There was no bargained for exchange, no consideration, and no offer and acceptance.
Dkt. No. 42, pg. 6-8 (Pg. ID 559-61).
On January 19, 2018, this Court ruled that Plaintiff's complaint against Gallagher was sufficient to survive Defendant's motion to dismiss. Dkt. No. 31. Therefore, Plaintiff's complaint does state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Defendant also agreed and withdrew affirmative defense 1. Dkt. No. 48, pg. 15 (Pg. ID 635). Defendant also withdrew its affirmative defense 3. Id. The Court will also strike affirmative defenses 12 and 13. The complaint in this case does not involve a contract; it is a slip and fall case. Plaintiffs do not allege that there was a valid contract between themselves and Defendant. Therefore, affirmative defenses 12 and 13 are immaterial.

Cornerback is a sneaky underrated need for the Eagles, both in the short term and long term.
The Eagles' cornerback position has promise, yet there is certainly room for upgrades and depth. The Eagles had little choice but to overspend on a corner in free agency last offseason, and Byron Maxwell predictably did not live up to his pay scale. Maxwell got torn apart early in the season, but when the Eagles scaled back what they asked of him within their defensive scheme, he played much better.
On the other side, Nolan Carroll was solid before being lost for the season. He's a free agent, and unlikely to return. When Carroll went down, Eric Rowe stepped in and showed he can be a good starting corner after some early struggles.
In their nickel packages, the Eagles would often drop safeties Malcolm Jenkins and Walter Thurmond down into the slot, and then put an additional safety in the game. My bet would be that Jim Schwartz would prefer to have a dedicated slot corner. Last season JaCorey Shepard looked good in training camp but was lost for the season with a torn ACL. To be determined if he'll be back to full strength, and if the new regime likes him as much as the old one did.
In the short term, the Eagles were running guys like Ed Reynolds and Chris Maragos onto the field in nickel looks. That's not good. An additional corner, preferably once with inside/outside versatility, would give the Eagles more numbers on the back end.
In the long term, the Eagles are going to want to get out of Maxwell's contract whenever it's financially realistic. Ideally, they can have someone in place to take over on the outside whenever that's possible.
Over his three-year career at Florida, Hargreaves had 10 interceptions and 38 pass breakups. After Florida State's Jalen Ramsey, Hargreaves may be the best CB prospect in the country. He is an outstanding cover corner, and very willing in run support.
If there's a knock on him, Hargreaves doesn't have the size that many teams would prefer.
Hargreaves wouldn't be a perfect positional fit for the Eagles at pick No. 13, but if he's still available, there's a chance he could be the highest rated player left on their board.
Jackson has outstanding ball skills. He had 10 pass breakups in 2014 (a nice total), and 23 in 2015, which led the country. Jackson is a PBU machine, and he also had five interceptions this season, two of which he returned for pick-sixes. At 6'0, he has good size, but there is knock on him for not being very physical in the run game.
At LSU, Mills played at safety, on the outside and in the slot. He has the versatility that teams now covet. Early in his career, he'll likely be a slot corner, with the potential to develop into more. If the Eagles' new regime is not as high on JaCorey Shepard as the last one was, a slot corner with upside could be of interest.
Mills also has a serious incident on his record (via Emily Lane of Nola.com) that the Eagles will have to investigate.
Mills was arrested in June after a woman who claims he punched her outside his Highland Road apartment picked him out of a lineup.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge October.
The alleged victim, who is 5-foot-3 inches tall and weighed 113 pounds, told police she was briefly knocked unconscious and received four stitches to her lip for her injuries, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Mills' attorney Brent Stockstill, however, had denied the alleged vcitim's account, saying it was actually Mills' girlfriend who threw the punch and that the victim gave multiple conflicting accounts of what happened.
Russell showed off some of his athleticism this offseason with this incredible vault atop six boxes. The 5-11, 196-pound senior also has proven to be a standout DB for Notre Dame. He should put on quite a show after his college career when he gets to the NFL combine. In South Bend, he’s already broad-jumped 11-2 1/2 to go with his 40-inch vert. He’s also extremely strong for his size, squatting 500 pounds, benching 350 and doing 20 reps of 225 -- only two corners did more at the Combine in the past two years.
Russell does have red flags that will push him down draft boards. He missed the 2014 season because of an academic fraud investigation. After returning for the 2015 season, Russell broke his tibia and was done for the season. If he's ready to compete on the field at the Combine, expect an eye-popping performance.
The Eagles already spent significant resources on bigger corners, and it appears that they may have a good young player in Rowe. Since Jim Schwartz has already gone out of his way to note that he will scheme to his players' strengths, it would stand to reason that he will try to let his corners often be physical in press coverage at the line of scrimmage. If we're making the leap that Schwartz does indeed build his scheme to fit the big corners the Eagles already have in place, it would then make sense that the Eagles continue to target bigger corners. Is that oversimplified thinking?
At 6'1, 209, Bradberry would be another bigger, physical corner to add to the mix.

... the "Kill 2 Birds with one Stone" bra.
This new design of bra horrified me. With doctors and scientists being at odds with each other over the safety of mobile phones, I would've thought that carrying one in this particular area seems frankly ridiculous.
There's evidence to suggest that those who've developed thigh tumours've been people who've carried their phones in trouser pockets. Would anyone risk breast cancer by stuffing one into their bra?
If you are going to put the phone millimeters away from your brain to use it, what difference would it make wearing in next to your breasts?
Probably none, Yogi. I was reading a medical journal recently, and an article was saying that brain tumours located behind the temple/ears're more prevalent amongst those who frequently use mobile phones , and then it went on to mention the thigh tumours.
Ear pieces block 97% of the radiation entering soft tissue, but breast tissue being so soft, if people keep their phones switched on inside their bras, I think it's logical to assume that it's not going to do any good.
them's, asking for trouble, but mobiles and other gadgets've become such a huge part of our lives that they have to be advertised as safe, and the hype continues.

In an effort to keep up with the likes of Google and bored college students, Ford has gotten into the no-people-in-the-car car business. However, rather than go the cool "self-driving" route, Ford decided to put some good old-fashioned human liability into their project. Behold, your auto industry bailout dollars at work.
Pros: It's a manual transmission. Cons: It's probably a Mustang.
Like that friend who brings non-alcoholic beer to a party, Ford took something that's normally good in moderation and made it totally unbearable. They claim it's best used for things like valet parking and helping the elderly get their groceries, but that's kind of what we invented teenagers for.
Anyway, once the controllers are installed in the vehicle, it uses a 4G connection to pick up interactions from someone behind the totally-not-reconfigured-from-a-Wii wheel. This enables the car to be operated from thousands of miles away. However, as anyone familiar with 4G is keenly aware (we're looking at you, Verizon), the signal is likely to be dropped at precisely the most inopportune moment possible.
"Hitting a tunnel, gonna lose the signal," is good for getting out of calls with Nana. Not so much when trying to drive Nana to dialysis.
Connectivity issues aren't the only problems associated with this car. Despite the fact that the system could be easily hacked and controlled by anyone with the wherewithal to do such a thing, there's no way to police the person sitting behind the monitor. They could be drunk out of their minds -- or worse, playing Grand Theft Auto V on another screen.
Well, we couldn't rail on Ford and not also find something to rip into General Motors about. You got off easy this time, Chrysler. But man, if there are two things we could use less of in our day-to-day lives, it's spam and distractions in our cars. Unfortunately for literally everybody who has to deal with roads, General Motors' OnStar service has decided to combine both of these nightmares into a vicious hydra known as AtYourService.
"I'll buy some long audiobooks so I'm not distracted working the radio while dri--"
Because everyone loves pop-up ads, OnStar has partnered up with major corporations such as Dunkin' Donuts to track your every move and spam your dashboard with advertisements geared toward places that you frequent. So between sending texts and changing the radio, drivers can now squint at their dashboard trying to decipher a deal on hazel-swirl iced coffees while trying to dodge traffic. GM's official reasoning (and totally not an admission of invasion of privacy) was that folks are booking hotels and ordering food from their phones while in the car anyway, so they may as well encourage that behavior, but on a bigger screen.
Worse yet, these advertisements will cue in your passengers to exactly the type of places you frequent.
"I have no idea why Brazzers ads keep popping up, honey. Must be a glitch."
Among the original partners (in addition to Dunkin') were RetailMeNot and Entertainment Book, who were happy to ensure that customers were inundated with deals on your dashboard. We're sure the person you accidentally rear-end while staring at coupons will totally understand once you show them what a good deal just popped up.
And this was only the beginning. As of early 2016, they've added both Groupon and ExxonMobil, in case Rebecca couldn't remember to print out that free appetizer voucher at home and Meredith couldn't be bothered to fill up her gas tank before offering to drive on girls' night out.
While it's true that in this day and age, people are becoming more and more obsessed with their mobile devices and less in touch with our fellow humans, we'd like to kindly posit that perhaps the answer to this problem is not another app.
A tech startup has taken it upon themselves to combat the problem of loneliness by developing a meetup app which skips the pointless chit-chat of eHarmony and the webcam models of Tinder and gets straight to the important part: hugging.
"Which way do I swipe to delete this?"
The app is called Hug Me (found at, we're not kidding, www.hugmeapplication.com), and its release was anticipated about as much as a fart in a warm elevator. The poor Kickstarter campaign only raised $50 of its $100,000 goal, all from one very lonely backer.
The dozen Zune owners still out there probably have their own group chat, so don't worry about them.
To try to drum up excitement, the company made an accompanying commercial to demonstrate its effectiveness, which looks like a deleted scene from a Spike Jonze movie. As of this article's writing, it has a tragically low 12,000 views.
Once you have the app installed, it enables you to find other perfectly sane individuals looking to hug it out near you.
We have a feeling that, in reality, one of these people would leave this situation far less alive.
And pray they aren't soaked in their own urine.
If you're in such a sad state that you feel the need to install this app in the first place, we're going to have to ask you to sit down, because we've got even worse news for you: It's probably only going to remind you how alone in the world you really are. Once installed on your phone, perhaps the cruelest message known to mankind pops up to inform you that, sadly, "There's no one around you to hug."
Most folks who didn't have a cellphone growing up have probably at some point reminded someone younger than themselves that they grew up perfectly fine without one, dagnabbit. On the other hand, Fisher-Price, creators of all things bright, plastic, and nontoxic, have decided that the appropriate age to start turning people into phone-addicted zombies is "fresh out of the womb."
In developing a product line called Apptivity, Fisher-Price put out a baby seat which bounces about on its base while distracting the child with a $600 drool magnet (sold separately, of course).
However, this wasn't without controversy. Presumably because all the Apple Geniuses had passed out in horror, the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, which aims to reduce the amount of screen time infants and toddlers are exposed to, started a petition against the seat (to be ironically filled out online). After a strong initial push at its onset in 2013, breaking the 13,000-signature mark, apathy seems to have set in. To make matters worse, the American Academy of Pediatrics claims that too much screen exposure for infants can actually be harmful for children and hinder language development.
He can lol, but rotflol is a couple months away yet.
But perhaps even more disturbing than an iPad bouncy seat is an iPad attached to what we will with a straight face call a potty. Another company wants to cash in on the fact that playing on our phones while going to the bathroom has become one of our favorite pastimes in the 21st Century by zoning in on the ever-popular infant market. Besides the aforementioned detail that too much screen time is not good for toddlers, there's also the little fact that babies play with their poop.
Turning this into a pink iPad.
Fortunately, these products seem to have pretty, uh, crappy reviews. No need to bother with this until a few generations in.
Probably contrary to popular belief, the biggest source of plane crashes is rich people with money to blow. Unfortunately, all of that fancy-pants technology in that there flyin' machine has a bad tendency to fail at really inconvenient times, and by that we mean "in the air." However, thanks to an app called Xavion, we may now have the safety of an emergency autopilot that won't require inflation.
If some sort of unforeseen circumstances caused engine failure or the pilots to be incapacitated, the app would take control, finding out the location of the nearest airport and guiding the plane to the runway. In an ideal situation, a pilot would be able to take over for a soft landing, but if not, the worst that would happen would be crushed peanuts and destroyed landing gear.
As handy as this may sound on paper, there's the terrifying reality that you are controlling an airplane with an iPad. We all know how often apps crash on our devices, and that's just when trying to send a picture of your junk on Snapchat. Even hoping everything runs smoothly on the device itself, would you really trust your fellow airplane passenger to land a plane? Worse yet, what sort of air chaos would happen if this technology got into the wrong hands?

A 300 Watt per channel stereo amplifier, the MC312 is a great choice to power virtually any home audio system. The full 300 Watts can be delivered to almost any speakers regardless if they have 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance thanks to our unique Autoformer™ technology.
The MC312 has received numerous improvements compared to our previous 300 Watt stereo amplifier. Most notably is that filter capacity has been doubled, which increases dynamic headroom an impressive 27% from 1.8dB to 2.3dB. This increase means the MC312 will be even better suited to handle wide dynamic swings in your music. Distortion prevention and bass performance also benefit from the increased filter capacity.
While still looking very much like a McIntosh, the MC312 has received some key design updates. Direct LED backlighting now illuminates the front panel for improved color accuracy. The audio output Autoformers still straddle the power transformer, but are now located in new enclosures that are capped by a single cover containing glass inserts that show the wiring diagram for each transformer. Other updates include the addition of our Monogrammed Heatsinks™ and our eco-friendly power management system. Numerous circuit components and internal wiring have also been upgraded. Balanced and unbalanced outputs have been added to enable bi-amping or tri-amping your speakers; they can also be used to connect to a secondary system if your preamplifier doesn’t have enough connections, or to connect a powered subwoofer.
The MC312 sits on a beautiful polished stainless steel chassis and features the timeless McIntosh black glass front panel, illuminated logo, control knobs, aluminum end caps and a pair of fast responding blue Watt meters. Contact your local dealer to learn more.

A commercial building is one that is dedicated to commercial activities. The technical classification of a commercial building for zoning purposes is that it has more than half of its floor space used for commercial activities. The purpose of this Major Qualifying Project was to analyze and design a structural system for an illustrative commercial building in Jenin, Palestine. This building divide in two building blocks, which consists of 9 floors with total area of 10,900 m². Structural analysis and design will be conducted under gravity and seismic loads. The design is planned to be performed in two-stages. Stage І will include structural analysis and design for a sample of structural elements under gravity loads only, while in stage ІІ, the building will be designed for seismic loads beside to the static loads. This report will show the procedure of analysis and design of the Burj for gravity only. The analysis and design process will start by basic assumptions regarding the structural systems, loading scenarios, and initial dimension of the members. The main load bearing system was considered to be made of slab on drop beams carried by columns, with two-way solid slab. Full 3D models are then created using ETABS 2016 program for each building block with the slab system. The structural elements will be designed as reinforced concrete members according to strength and serviceability criteria as specified in ACI 318-14.

3: The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4: And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5: And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
7: In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8: For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9: The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
12: As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13: The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14: The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15: What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the LORD GOD of hosts.
24: And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25: Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26: And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

This month is all about thankfulness. It is a great time to talk to your kids about why you and your family are so blessed and how to be truly thankful for what you have. Using some sticks and some paper bags I created a tree that will give us an opportunity each day in November to talk as a family about why we are thankful.
I talk to my kids a lot about why they should be thankful, and I sometimes feel like it goes right over their heads. They are young, and what is important to my husband and I isn’t always what is most important to them. We did a project earlier this month where I found out my kids were thankful for things like Mario Cart and candy. I understand that at their ages they can’t grasp that those material things aren’t important at all. I wanted to find a way for us to talk about what IS really important instead of the “things” that we like. That is what inspired me to create this little tree. It is never too early for your kids to start leaning to be thankful. This thankful tree is a great way for us to start conversations with our young kids about why we are so blessed and why we are thankful for the simple things that life has to offer.
I came up with 30 things that we are thankful for as a family. The tree consists of 30 leaves each with an important word on it – something that we are thankful for. Each day in November we will be removing one leaf and talking about why the word on the leaf is important, why we are thankful for it, and how it affects our lives.
I decided to make this tree to help us celebrate November and Thanksgiving but didn’t want to spend any money. I found things around our home to create a tree that would be natural and pretty enough o leave up all month long. We went outside as a family and collected some branches. They had the perfect little spots to hang our leaves on. To make our thankful tree I took a few sticks from outside and put them in a vase filled with kidney beans. The kidney beans main purpose was to help hold the sticks in place. I covered the top with some moss that I had on hand. To finish it off, I used a piece of burlap ribbon tied in a bow around the vase.
The leaves were cut from folded up brown paper bags. I put a hole in each with a hole punch and used a small piece of twine to hang them onto our branches. I wrote our 30 reasons to be thankful onto the leaves using a permanent marker. I love how the colors are natural and help celebrate fall. The full tree of leaves starts the month and as the days pass the tree loses it’s leaves. It is a great way to show and discuss the leaves falling before winter comes with your kids as well. This is symbolic and pretty piece of fall decor that will give us the opportunity to talk as a family each night about our blessings. We usually sit around the table after dinner and talk about the leaf of the day. The kids enjoy picking the leaf and I have been surprised at how long we end up sitting and talking together each day. It’s not too late to start this in your home this month. Just add a leaf for each day left or do a couple leaves each night – either way I hope you take some time to sit with your own families and talk about what you are thankful for and why!
I think this may be my favorite idea yet! You know I love all the ideas you share here but this is so meaningful and beautiful. What a fantastic way to start teaching your kids so many great values. I definitely want to do this when we have our own kids. I like that you shared what you put on each leaf too, because sadly enough at first I wasn’t sure if I could come up with 30 mostly intangible things. But now I see what great discussions you can have from each leaf. It also seems like a really good way to teach kids to enjoy talking as a family rather than running off to play immediately after dinner. Thanks for the great idea.
How wonderful to teach children thankfulness….the world would be a better place for us all if these basics were instilled in our children at home.

We answer our latest question regarding what can happen if you give hydrocodone to the wrong person.
What happens if you give a hydrocodone to the wrong person? Its been a day since given? At work I gave a hydrocodone to the wrong person. its been a day but i am still concerned. Person did complain of stomach pain today and she took tums and it seemed better. Help I'm very worried!
There certainly is a little bit of a concern if hydrocodone is accidentally given to the wrong person, or to a person for whom it wasn't prescribed. Since you may not know their medical history, they could be at serious risk of drug interactions or adverse events.
Nevertheless, if a person accidentally ingested a small dose of a hydrocodone product, there most likely won't be significant problems, given they don’t have an allergy to it, are taking other pain meds or have respiratory problems.
However, extended-release hydrocodone products are available is very high strengths. While an immediate-release hydrocodone product will contain anywhere between 2.5 mg and 10 mg, extended-release products, such as Hysingla, go up to 120mg per tablet. Adverse reactions, especially severe ones, are increasingly likely with high doses.
It is essential to either report errors of this nature (if you are a medical professional) or, if it is in a personal setting, call Poison Control (at 1800-222-1222) for appropriate guidance.
You did mention that this error happened yesterday and the individual who took the dose not intended for them is feeling well. We can be pretty confident in saying no further side effects should occur as hydrocodone is a short-acting medication (around 4 hours for the immediate-release versions) and is almost eliminated from the body in less than a day.
Can You Open Prozac Capsules?
Can you open Prozac capsules? I have dysphagia and it is difficult for me to swallow the capsules.

7 'Riveting' Facts to Remember!
Fancy yourself as a shipyard worker? Test your knowledge with our top riveting facts from days gone by!
3,000,000 rivets were used in the construction of Titanic - 2 million of which were done by hand and 1 million were completed using a hydraulic hammer.
2. Have you got an eye for riveting?
Visitors to SS Nomadic can spot the difference between riveting techniques! Machine beaten rivets are smooth, thin and wide whereas hand-beaten rivets were made of iron and were narrower and thicker.
A team of 5 men made up the rivet crew – the heater boys to heat up the rivet who then passed it to a catch-boy who passed it to a holder-up and then was hammered in to place by 2 men. These men made a total of 1p between all 5 of them for a day’s work in the Harland & Wolff shipyard! They say the best team consisted of a left-handed man to help hammer the rivets in place as the job was done quicker!
At the end of a long workday in the Harland & Wolff shipyard a foreman tapped all of the rivets which had been completed to ensure that the work was up to standard. If the tap sounded hollow, the riveting had to be redone in the team's own time - unpaid!
The hammers used in riveting varied from 2lb to nearly 40lbs in weight depending on the type of work and the size of the rivets used!
6. It was a noisy job, but someone had to do it!
Riveting was a hard, dangerous and noisy job – it wasn’t uncommon for riveters to go deaf due to the noise and confined spaces! You can experience this yourself on Titanic Belfast's Shipyard Ride!
During WWII, the American government launched the “Rosie the Riveter” campaign encouraging women on the home front to take on roles such as labourers and engineers particularly in the aviation industry.
Now you know the facts about riveting, come and see some authentic maritime examples on board SS Nomadic today! Book your tickets now!

I received the following letter from Lesley Griffiths AM regarding Wrexham Council’s appalling decision to push ahead with the proposed Blue Badge parking charges. I share this letter to highlight the positive support that is being offered to me by my Welsh Labour AM and a small group of Local Councillors in the face of heartless, overgrown bullies who cannot see the absurdity of their actions.
I am hopeful that I will soon receive word from Lesley about whether or not she can help us move the #SaveWILG exhibition to the Senedd. If she is not in a position to help us do this due to party pressures then I must accept this – however much I disagree – and I will try to contact other AM’s for their support.
Anyway, here is the letter, followed by an article by Wrexham.com which is referred to by Lesley.
Further to my letter of 6 February 2018, I enclose a copy of a detailed article published by Wrexham.com on 8 February 2018, which details events at the call-in meeting regarding Wrexham Council’s proposals to introduce charges for Blue Badge holders.
As you are aware, I am totally opposed to the proposals and have made my views known to the Leader of Wrexham Council.
Despite the call-in notice from Welsh Labour Councillors, which attempted to get Wrexham Council’s Executive Board to reconsider their proposals, the motion was defeated.
The final page of the Wrexham.com article highlights how individual Councillors voted and I was disappointed to see that your local Councillor, I David Bithell, voted with the ruling body to reject the report going back to the Executive Board.
This ill-advised policy has been solely devised and pursued by the Tory/Independent administration which runs Wrexham Council. Many constituents contacted me about the proposals so it is frustrating that Councillors who had the ideal chance to challenge the Executive Board’s decision, chose to spurn the opportunity.
I believe it would be worth your while contacting your local Councillor to ascertain why he voted this way and I will continue to make my views on the matter clear to the Council Leader.
I hope this information is useful and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
An attempt to get the Executive Board to reconsider how they carry out a consultation into charging for disabled parking and at Wrexham’s country parks failed after a lengthy two and a half hour debate.
scrutiny of decisions itself – with the call in reasons before the meeting being the topic of debate. However that point was lost on some of the councillors taking part.
unintended displacement affects for various parking charge changes.
The call-in notice explained that due to this they felt the decision to start a necessary statutory legal consultation was ‘premature’, and in essence there should be a new decision – effectively to start a consultation with all the allegedly missing information in place before going out to get the views of the public or specific groups.
original decision, which would then be immune to further call-in.
The decision would mean a consultation would take place either way, and the decision on introduction on charges would still be subject to approval by councillors at a Full Council meeting scheduled for 21 February 2018.
With that backdrop some councillors took the opportunity to re-run the debate on if charging for disabled parking, or if charging for parking in country parks is a good thing or not, rather than focusing on the five points up for debate on the call in.
The responsible Lead Member for Environment and Transport, Cllr David A Bithell was on hand to answer questions, along with the relevant council officer plus various other council staff. Cllr Bithell appeared to have a pre-prepared set of statements to answer each of the five points in turn, but was happy to add further detail when requested.
Cllr Derek Wright presented each formal question on the call-in notice, with several appended queries to each where possible. Members of the committee also posed questions, which ranged from anecdotal evidence to specific financial queries.
further by Cllr Marc Jones who asked if extra staff would be needed to empty machines or monitor the site – but was told no.
After a short grilling Cllr Marc Jones indicated he was still unhappy, stating: “All these figures are based on predictions of people using these services, what if they do not use them and they park on side streets?
Cllr Bithell noted that the debate was veering to the third point on the call-in notice, regarding mitigation on people using street parking instead of car parking.
Cllr Davies did some rough maths to point out she did not believe the figures presented added up, and invited clarity to where the E25k revenue sum came from – stating either she made El 9k based on the figures and method infront of her.
the difference in country park rates being in the same debate as disabled bay charging.
Cllr Davies said the figures had come from a previous meeting, however this was disputed again, with the formulae and forecasts being described as a ‘fluid process’ and based off ‘conservative estimates’.
Head of Environment and Planning Lawrence Isted spoke to reassure the committee: “Whenever we are working out things like this we use our best judgement and best estimates. We do not over egg things.
Mr Isted added that the proposals were based on ‘previous work with our reshaping partners PWC’.
He added: “A lot of these costs are fluid until we come to a decision. It has been worked up with the help of Officers, and the Executive Board agrees the Budget.
Cllr Paul Jones was not swayed, accusing Cllr Bithell of ‘playing up the savings that are the good news, but underplaying the capital costs’.
Cllr Wright said he was ‘shocked’ by the f50k capital cost, saying it had been ‘magiced out of the air’.
scrutiny meetings before Christmas, as the documents before them had a Year 1 saving and a Year 2 saving.
Cllr Davies gave the analogy of putting a risk, if the proposals were unsuccessful and were a cost rather than a revenue raiser, on top of existing problems in the department, saying ‘It could make the situation worse not better, the risk is escalating, it is risk on another risk’.
The finance officer also pointed out that in a previous report before councillors an appendix had risks detailed.
Other questions in the call-in notice were dealt with in a similar manner, with it noted that the claim there was no mitigation for people being displaced to on street parking.
The council officer pointed out it was acknowledged in documents presented to councillors previously, pointing out that the majority of the town centre’s roads were subject to some kind of parking regulations already.
Cllr Marc Jones was particularly unhappy, stating: “It is human nature, people are price sensitive to parking. People will spend El 00 in a shop but will not pay El .80 to park.
Cllr AlunJenkins made a very long speech giving a grim appraisal of the current austerity situation in the UK, and how he disagreed with the proposals being made, but did recognise the decisions before the council saying it was like ‘having both arms cut off but which one first’, adding he would prefer not to have either chopped off.
Cllr Jenkins was keen to get assurances that nothing would be progressed without consultation, which Cllr Bithell was happy to offer, as that was on the table either way.
Cllr Bithell pointed out an impact equality statement had been ‘done’, describing it as a ‘fluid document’, and offered assurance that the statutory process would be followed.
The debate then turned to the principle of charging for disabled parking, with Cllr Bithell saying “It is about having accessible spaces” noting that Blue Badges were not means tested.
were on fixed incomes, ending by stating the proposals were regressive “If they can’t afford to pay it, they do not have access”.
Cllr Tina Mannering gave a personal account of why she held her view, saying: “It is more about access and space not the money.
Cllr Paul Jones cited data that says there are 9,000 Blue Badge holders in Wrexham, saying that Cllr Mannering was talking about one or two’.
yellow lines were brought in as a response to improve child safety at the park, and thus the proposals were seen by some as increasing risk on that front.
The meeting headed past the two hour mark and just before 6pm Cllr Bithell left, leaving Cllr Marc Jones and Mr Isted to have an interesting exchange over revenue raising and cuts proposals recently.
Mr Isted replied pointing out the goal of the lead member was likely to ensure no loss of services or core services and thus the proposals: ‘We used to call them efficiencies, then efficiency savings, and now we have to accept they are cuts.
activities’, with the ‘worse case scenarios affecting the core functions of the council’.
Clr Jenkins cites Northamptonshire Council that recently started emergency spending controls – says Wales is 3-4 years.behind England, says ‘watch this space’ for Wrexham, “If austerity continues there is no point having councils”.
With the doom and gloom and two and a half hours of debate appearing to sap the will of the committee to keep going, despite the frustration of Cllr Wright who pointed out he had ‘many more questions to ask’ proceedings headed towards a vote.
The choice before councillors was clear to some, despite the attempts to form a specific recommendation.
Finally it was basically agreed for a simple success v failure vote on the 2nd 3rd and 5th points of the call-in notice contents, and if the ‘case’ had been successful.
Mannering attempting a counter motion. The vote was about to proceed before Cllr Atkinson spoke to explain his view on the various points, explaining that he felt officers were aware of risks and the financial issues raised had been ‘clearly explained’.
A point of order was called by Cllr Wright to point out the debate had ended and a vote was due and the Chairman Rodney Skelland should not allow further debate.
After two and a half hours the vote saw the proposal to refer the decision back to the Executive Board fall, with the councillors for and against neatly falling into party and administration alliance lines.
The Plaid Cymru (Cllr Marc Jones), Liberal Democrat (Cllr Alun Jenkins) and Labour (Cllr Paul Jones, Cllr Adrienne Jeorett and Cllr Dana Davies) members present voted to refer the decision back to the Executive Board.
Members of the Conservative group (Cllr Andrew Atkinson) and two Independent groups (Cllr Trevor Bates, Cllr Geoff Lowe, Cllr I David Bithell, Cllr Nigel Williams, Cllr Sonia Benbow-Jones and Cllr Tina Mannering) voting to reject the report going back to the Executive Board.
We don’t think the Chairman Cllr Rodney Skelland (Conservative) voted as per convention – however due to the layout of the room it was unclear due to the architecture, and we have no video or pictures to show you as the Councillors do not allow filming or the taking of pictures of raised hands.
Reds manager Alvan Williams tended his resignation after an inconsistent start to 1968/69 that saw a League Cup exit, the sale of David Powell and Steve Stacey, to Sheffield United and Ipswich Town respectively, and subsequent bitter demonstrations from the fans.
The official line was that the departure of Williams was caused by “a disagreement with the Board of Directors over club policy”, but word on the grapevine suggested that club directors wanted to curtail his power as general manager with a demotion to the specific role of team manager only.
Despite the fact that the vacant post was not advertised, Wrexham still had 14 applications for the job, which was eventually given to John Neal. George Showell became first-team trainer. This new managerial duo certainly had their work cut out as we prepared to play bottom-of-the-table Notts County as we’d suffered five straight defeats without scoring.
The Magpies started the brighter and conspired to hit the woodwork, miss a sitter and had a penalty claim turned down before Ray Charnley ended Wrexham’s goal drought on 23 minutes. Charnley hit the ball past Mick Rose who had failed to deal with Ray Smith’s shot. Rose may still have been feeling the effects of his collision with Smith just four minutes earlier.
County equalised on the half-hour mark when Don Masson headed home from an inviting free kick. This parity only lasted for three minutes as Charnley out-jumped several defenders to connect with Alan Bermingham’s cross.
Wrexham were at their brightest during this period as Steve Ingle and Albert Kinsey tested Rose, but it was County who struck after 44 minutes with another headed goal. This time it was Les Bradd who met a centre from Ron Farmer.
From the re-start, Ingle restored the home sides lead with a fine solo effort when he collected a loose ball, raced forward and unleashed a thunderbolt from 20-yards to put us ahead at the break.
The second period promised much, but actually delivered little in terms of goalmouth action as the closest we came to adding a fourth goal was when a late effort from Eddie May went a foot wide. It also says a lot that Charnley’s only competition for man of the match was goalkeeper Gordon Livesey.
According to Reg Herbert of the Leader, the majority of our players performed under par. Apparently, Ian Moir had a “nightmare game” characterised by “erratic passing” that frustrated the fans while Kinsey and Smith were deemed to be “still struggling for form and luck”. Bermingham was criticised for “not being his usual ebullient self” and Gareth Davis was lambasted for a “first half miskick” that presented County with a chance that they should’ve scored from.

Why is oxidative stress such a big concern?
When piglets switch from milk to solid feed, most experience a vulnerable period with a higher risk of disease and reduced growth. Oxidative stress is a major contributor to this phase, which is known as the weaning dip or post-weaning stress syndrome.
Here, we’ve gathered the latest knowledge about oxidative stress. Sign up to receive our top selection news on this topic or scroll down to watch the webinar recording.
Oxidative stress is a complicated subject that can be hard to grasp. In a nutshell, it is caused by the formation of free radicals, resulting from dietary stress in the form of low quality feed, environmental stress and social stress. When the free radicals are not controlled, they cause a chain reaction that leads to increased gut inflammation and, eventually, cell death.
Various feed additives are typically used to control oxidative stress. New studies point to an alternative possibility: to remove the root cause. The findings show that high quality proteins with a low content of anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) may eliminate the need for increased additive use.
In these feeding trials, weaned piglets fed a starter diet that contained a specialty soy protein with a low anti-nutritional factors content – HP 300 from HAMLET PROTEIN – were found to have a better oxidative status than piglets fed a diet containing soybean meal, fermented soy or soy protein concentrate (Learn about the different types of soy).
Soy proteins with a high antigen content may be cheaper to buy - but are more likely to increase oxidative stress. In other words, a starter diet that contains a more expensive specialty protein can secure cost savings in the long run – and eliminate the need to buy antioxidant additives.
Read an article on why oxidative stress is so important by Dr. Elke von Heimendahl, Global Swine Manager at HAMLET PROTEIN.

Now that fall is here I’m really excited about soup season and cozy cafés! And in my opinion, there is no more dynamic duo of fall, than soups and sandwiches. No matter what season it is, check out these five cozy cafés in Newport Beach for soup, or sandwiches, and more.
Zinc Cafe in Corona Del Mar offers a cozy atmosphere with a vegetarian menu. Their unique menu includes black bean chili, a soup of the day like butternut squash soup, a brie sandwich you will want to write home about, and even a “reubenesque” sandwich featuring beets. Don’t shy away from it, give it a try! And if you’re a sucker for sandwiches from your childhood, check out their not-so-average grilled cheese with gruyere cheese, cornichons, tomato, marinated onions and dijonaise. Bonus: Zinc Cafe offers craft libations, coffees, juices, and more. What’s better than good food? Good food and shopping. Zinc Cafe is also a market of small home goods and great giftables.
Rose Bakery, also in Corona Del Mar, offers fresh, delicious food and great outdoor seating. Perfect for a cozy afternoon! Their menu is pretty extensive, including both warm and cold sandwiches. People rave about their club sandwich, but it’s a hard choice when they also offer other classics like a tuna melt, cold pastrami, or grilled steak. But like every great cafe, they also have a soup of the day (on weekdays) that can feature such favorites as Italian wedding soup and clam chowder. Top your meal off with their beautiful baked goods and fresh coffee.
Cafe Basil located near Fashion Island is small sandwich shop with an extensive menu. Hearty turkey chili and vegetable soup are offered daily, and their list of sandwiches might make your head spin, but will definitely make you drool, too. Cold sandwiches, warm sandwiches, and even paninis (different warm sandwiches) may create a little pre-order panic, but you can’t go wrong with options like bacon-tomato-avocado grilled cheese, bulgogi (Korean beef) sandwich, reuben, French dip, and meatball.
Orange Blossom Cafe is a great cozy option if you’re near the beach. They’re located in Balboa Village and offer delightful choices like a classic turkey sandwich or herb cheese and vegetable sandwich made with herbed cream cheese, cucumber, greens and tomato. But if there’s anything that can tempt me more than herbed cream cheese, it just might be a PLT. That’s right, proscuitto, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. If you’re not sold yet, they also offer freshly made gelato.
W Cafe is an upscale option in the Mariners Mile/Westcliff area, and it’s also the perfect spot if you’re looking for a secluded café. While they are well-known for offering traditional high-tea, they have some seriously satisfying menu options as well. The menu includes soups like vegetable or beef and barley, and sandwiches like the highly-rated chicken pesto sandwich or chicken parmigiana sandwich. And while I’m not trying to start the whole burger versus sandwich debate here, I am saying that while we’re talking about delicious things between bread, you might want to glance at the burgers, because they have a lamb burger with tzatziki sauces.

A few months ago they were living their overly cushioned lives in Brentwood with everything they ever needed on their doorsteps. Now they were on the run from their parents and the law. Nico couldn't believe how quickly everything had changed and now for some reason she seemed to be in charge. Between managing Chase and Alex's arguments, helping Gert control her anxiety, keeping track of Molly and, well her entire thing with Karolina, she had her work cut out for her.
Essentially just a continuation of where season one left off.
Nico isn't your typical brooding, no family and only wears all black type of spy. She has a life outside of being a spy. But it wasn't what she had planned. Especially with a four-year-old son. She got pregnant at the age of 22 and no the father inst in the picture. Being a mom and a Spy definitely had its moments. But no matter how hard things got, her father and best friend Karolina Dean were always there to make it better. Karolina and Nico have been through hell and back and have been tight ever since. This Spy au will show more from Nico's perspective and it will show Karolina's every now and then.
“Last but certainly not least Karolina and,” he looks at the girl, clad in pastels, the blonde haired churchgoer who’s always sporting a bright smile. “Nico.” he turns his gaze on the raven haired goth who’s never without a scowl. “Meet baby Deanoru.” he hoists the silicone apparatus in the air, allowing Nico to see it from her seat at in the back, before placing it on Karolina’s desk.
What happens when the preacher’s perfect daughter is paired up with the devil’s disciple for the semester long project for Health class?
Just a run of the mill AU high school fic where a different kind of pride exist, featuring our favorite Runaways.
As Karolina heads into her senior year of high school, she stumbles across a magic lamp of sorts at a local antiques shop. Indecisive as ever, she's granted 3 wishes from a powerful genie and told to use them wisely.
Yeah sure, no pressure at all.
Based on Hayley Kiyoko's "Curious" MV.
Nico keeps on coming onto Karolina even though she is with Alex.
Nico realizes she actually likes Karolina and becomes aware of how much she means to her.
In-depth exploration of Nico's feelings on 1x09 and 1x10 Deanoru scenes and little off-screen moments.
Nico Minoru doesn't care about Karolina Dean, but that night she saved her.
It's kind of an AU of sorts where Nico is the one who saved Karolina from those jocks at the party and not Chase. PRIDE isn't evil either, but Karolina is still an alien and Nico will still have the staff of one...eventually.
Nico overhears what happened to Karolina at the party and she goes berzerk.
Sixteen years ago, Clarke Griffin gave birth to a beautiful little girl that she called Lucy. However, she was obligated to give the baby away to Foster Care. Said baby was adopted by none other than Leslie Dean.
Karolina Dean faced a lot of challenges and selfdiscovery issues and while she expected that finding out she had been adopted her whole life would make it all worse, it gave her a second chance.
That au where Karolina is Clarke's long lost daughter that literally nobody asked for.
Esta fanfic se passa durante o episódio 6 e segue com poucas diferenças o que acontece na série, porém antecipando o beijo entre Nico e Karolina. Eu queria que o beijo tivesse acontecido nesse episódio e isso foi o que me motivou a escrever. Além disso, é POV da Nico para explorar os sentimentos dela em relação a Karolina, o que a gente não tem na série, que foca muito no que a Karolina sente apenas.
Nico breaks away from her life and leaves Los Angeles behind. Soon, she finds herself teaching at a little town in Montana, making new friends, and slowly falling for the pride and joy of Thompson Falls.
Xavin is annoying, Nico is frustrated, Karolina listens, and then they kiss.
