If you want to accomplish adjustments for your Honda Accord LX Automatic then it will always be a good plan to own a Workshop Manual to keep just for personal reference in case you need to know ways to strip off a specific component much like the Brake Discs and match it again appropriately.
Honda Accord LX Automatic Workshop Manuals will give identifiable diagnostic information with regards to your vehicle therefore if something is faulty it will help you ascertain what the issue is and tips to make it better. You will be able to assess if this can be achieved on your own or in the event the job is simply too big you can actually book your Accord LX Automatic in with a trusted car garage.

For us, we did not get a honeymoon or a ‘honeymoon” period. As the wife of an entrepreneur, I was okay with passing on the honeymoon, but I was fulling expecting the “honeymoon period.” I think I watched too many Disney movies because I thought our life would be all song and dance happily-ever-after. I was shocked when it didn’t happen! In fact, after the wedding party ended, there was no skip in my step. Could there really be such a thing as wedding postpartum? Yes, the wedding blues.. it exists and I had it. Google it… it really is a thing that a lot of brides experience. Battling that was tough enough, but it was even more frustrating that my new husband wanted normalcy immediately. I kept hearing “Okay, baby, the wedding is over; let’s go back to the way things were.” I understood that the big party was done, but going back to the way things were… that was ridiculous!
Then there was us trying to figure out our new roles as man and wife. Yes, it seems easy enough for Tom to continue being the man, but he did have to learn the responsibilities of caring for and having a wife. Meanwhile, I had to learn what it meant and how to be a wife. We also had a couple unique stressors that were just for us–One, before the wedding, we decided that Tom should leave his very successful business in corporate broadcasting advertising to start his dream— building AutoJudo, LLC. This decision left us without concrete financial structure. Two, we allowed a camera crew to film us before the wedding — and then had no control over editing. This left us with fear regarding how we would be portrayed on national television.
And then suddenly, the year went by so quick– and we made it through our first year of marriage! Just like that… We found our path on this crazy journey called matrimony. Even through our triumphs and struggles, through accomplishments and disappointments; standing next to me, holding my hand was my soulmate, my best friend, my Prince Charming, my Mr. Right– my other half. My husband truly completes me! When I think back on this past amazing and frustrating year I only feel all the warm emotions– it’s almost so dreamlike– and I wonder why was this year so full of highs and lows? Maybe it’s the whole square peg in a round hole thing. Or fitting the puzzle pieces together! Whatever it is, we all know it takes time to get “two hearts to beat as one”! But guys, we finally made it…. we found normalcy and I love this man more and more everyday! Happy Anniversary, honey!!
That’s beautiful Aki…good to keep loving, enjoying and looking forward to whatever comes next! We love you both so much!!
Thank you!! Love you guys too!

Give your food a delicious smoky flavour.
With the portable Smoking-Box starter kit (food smoker) from Steba you can quickly finish foods with natural smoke from woodchips, tea or herbs, wild flowers or even tobacco.
Perfect for flavoring foods such as ham, cheese, meat, butter, oysters, raw fish, cocktails, salads, chocolate, meringue, etc. etc.
You can also smoke liquids in a blender, glass or shaker.
Easy and fast! 2-3 minutes is enough to infuse the food with smoke flavor.
• 25 cm hose for inserting the smoke into a container (for example a pan or glass with plastic wrap), a sealable bag, etc.
With the portable Smoking-Box (food smoker) from Steba you can quickly infuse foods with natural smoke from woodchips, tea or herbs, wild flowers or even tobacco. The Smoking-Box adds a smoky flavor to foods before or after cooking.
Battery-powered: Use it in the kitchen or at an outdoor BBQ or picnic!
Place the smoking ingredient in the smoking chamber, turn on the fan, light it with a lighter and smoke will start coming out of the front tube or provided rubber hose to maneuver the smoke easily. Simple!
Only cool smoke is released, preventing it from altering the texture and temperature of any food you subject to its flavour.
The Smoking-Box is also a great tool to finish meats and vegetables cooked sous vide.
Two German breweries, Schlenkerla and Spezial, have produced smoked German lagers and ales for centuries. Many microbreweries also experiment with smoked beers.
Now, with the Smoking-Box Starterkit from Steba, you can easily make a smoked version of any beer you like.
1. Pour the beer in a glass, etc.
2. Insert the hose in the beer. Keep the hose at the top, do not immerse it too much.
3. Cover the glass with plastic wrap.
4. Turn on the Smoking-Box and light the wood chips.
5. Shake gently for a couple of minutes.
6. Enjoy your smoked beer!

A friend once memorably dismissed School of Seven Bells as "The Corrs of nu-gaze". At the time it seemed more than a little harsh, but maybe he was onto something. There's always been a suspicion that this band were more about style than substance; the name that allegedly referenced a South American pickpocket academy, the gratuitous over-use of the word "enigmatic" in describing them, and yes, the fact all three members are unfeasibly good-looking.
Disconnect from Desire isn't going to settle any arguments on this front. The band's second album continues their obsession with mining the sounds of 4AD's late 80s and early 90s roster for inspiration, but where their debut Alpinisms also featured the heftier sound of Ride and Slowdive, this is pretty much all neo-dream pop. The influence of Liz Frazer and Robin Guthrie is writ large all over this album - but unfortunately, that's not as good a thing as it should be.
Disconnect from Desire does sound amazing, with Benjamin Curtis' production consistently top notch. Alpinisms was similarly impressive in that respect - it evoked the sounds of its influences flawlessly, and added just enough to lift it from the realms of simple pastiche - but its successor clearly kicks things up a notch. Co-vocalists Alejandra and Claudia Deheza's pristine vocals interweave and harmonise throughout, often augmented by washes of subtle reverb, and they're set over panoramic, multi-layered arrangements that sound like they should be soundtracking sweeping alpine vistas.
As such, it's hard to pinpoint why Alpinisms worked and this album doesn't. Or then again, maybe not: the fundamental problem with Disconnect from Desire is that for all its impressive aural stylings, it features some pretty bodgy songwriting. Strip away all the layers and lush production values, and what you're left with is a series of fairly drab and uninteresting songs.
The album does start well - single and first track 'Windstorm' sounds exactly like its title, while 'Heart Is Strange' basically Xeroxes Alpinisms' 'Half Asleep': same curious vocal phrasing, same ever-escalating melody line. From there, though, it's dramatically diminishing returns.
The band's press claims that they've drawn heavily on mysticism (specifically, "symbols, myths and mantras") to formulate the concepts behind this record, but there's precious little evidence of this in the lyrics. 'I L U', for instance, features the sort of cringeworthy sixth-form couplets that its txt msg title implies – "There are so many things I wish I knew how to say in a way that you'd understand/But I can't/So many times I've tried looking into your eyes for a sign that maybe you feel the same/But you don't".
Where weighty concepts do appear to surface, they're mired in pretension and mumbo-jumbo. It soon becomes perversely enjoyable to pick out examples: 'Camarilla' contains the lines "This vain imposition's a loaded decision/Hiding in its vision a treacherous sea." Or there's this from 'Bye Bye Bye': "After the great flood all washed away, I still stayed/Through the crashing waves you promised me that you would wake up/I was the white light in your sad desperate loneliness/Yeah". Then there's the opening lines of 'Dial': "I dreamt that my perspective was on a dial/Wired to spare me from this world".
Perhaps Disconnect from Desire is more appropriate a title than the band realise: there's a curious emotional void at the heart of this album that leaves it disconnected from pretty much everything but itself. Whereas Cocteau Twins - at their best, anyway - made music that was inscrutable but still somehow evocative, School of Seven Bells come across as mannered and distant. At this point, the empresses' closet is looking mighty bare.

The spring tension applied when worn is the perfect balance between effective contact and minimal skin pressure, making your system Safer and More Effective.

An open book contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that lays out a work/service agreement where the costs are not finite. Additionally, there will be a margin that the supplier can add to the final cost for their services. Once the project is completed, the supplier provides an invoice for the materials used based on the actual cost plus the agreed-upon margins set forth in the contract.
When starting any type of construction project, planning the project is essential to not only be sure all of your required elements are met but also to ensure you stay on budget. While it can be tempting to start a project as soon as you have it realized, moving too quickly can give rise to complications.
To make sure that your project meets your expectations and stays on budget, hiring a design-build firm may be the best choice for your project. When using a design-build firm, planning is often simplified and all of the players involved in the build and design can work together from the start, ensuring that the plan runs smoothly.
In essence, an open book contract structures the process of sharing the management of all costs, operations, and performance data that will occur with the project. To understand the approach of an open book contract, it is important to understand the fundamental definitions of both cost and price.
Cost is cost. When creating a construction estimate, the costs should be based on the actual cost of work. Actual costs include labor, expenses, materials, equipment, and production costs.
Price includes everything else in the contract. Anything that will be added above the actual costs will be counted under price. Some of the items that fall under the price category include operating costs, overhead, encumbrances, profit, burdens, markups, turnovers, charges, levies, and incentives.
Progressive design-builds are also a popular model for projects as they allow the project to continue on as a collaborative effort while fully defining all aspects of the project.
An earlier completion time — By utilizing a phased schedule, projects can be completed faster. Also, open book contracts use a stepped permit process which allows the construction and design components to begin at the same time.
A reduction in cost — By knowing the actual upfront costs in the beginning of the project, you start with a more accurate budget and can allocate expenses for other parts of the project. Additionally, since the project will move at a quicker pace, you pay less overall with fewer overruns and the ability to begin occupancy earlier.
Less surprises — In some construction projects lacking the transparency of an open book contract, there is the risk of being caught off-guard by additional costs and unexpected expenses. Without a proper schedule, you may also run into significant delays which can be costly and difficult to accommodate.
To understand the differences between open book contracts and closed book contracts, you must first understand the difference between a closed book and open book system.
A closed book system does not allow for influence by others, nor does it support interactions by others.
An open book system promotes the dynamic interaction with others.
A closed book contract includes an overhead expense that is disseminated over multiple operational areas, making it hard to identify what the actual cost of each area is. Additionally, on closed book contracts, some general contractors may include a percentage of the overhead expense under the general conditions to make the overall appearance of the overhead fee lower. This can be done intentionally because many times people will go with the lowest bid.
In an open book contract, none of the costs are buried and it is easy to determine what percentage of the cost is associated with each operational section.
If you need help with a open book contract, you can post your legal need on UpCounsel's marketplace. UpCounsel accepts only the top 5 percent of lawyers to its site. Lawyers on UpCounsel come from law schools such as Harvard Law and Yale Law and average 14 years of legal experience, including work with or on behalf of companies like Google, Menlo Ventures, and Airbnb.

The recent storm snow is bonding well with the underlying layer. The amount of new snow overnight is uncertain.
On Sunday, there were reports of numerous natural, human and explosive triggered storm slab avalanches up to size 2.5 at treeline and in the alpine on all aspects (see this MIN report).On Saturday, explosives triggered small (size 1-1.5) storm slab avalanches up to 30 cm deep. Skier traffic triggered small pockets of storm snow with the deepest (up to 40 cm) and most reactive deposits in specific lee terrain.Numerous small loose wet avalanches were observed on Friday during daytime warming.
10-35 cm of recent storm snow that fell over the weekend sits on a melt-freeze crust on all aspects except for north facing slopes above 2000 m, where it sits on dry snow and surface hoar (feathery crystals). Recent snowfall amounts taper quickly below treeline.
10-35 cm of recent storm snow is bonding well with the underlying layer which consists of a melt-freeze crust in most locations and dry snow on north facing slopes above 2000 m. New snow overnight might increase the potential for slab avalanches.

Weeks ago, we discussed how you might make your communications with your clients, prospects, friends, and family more personal. Personal communications are so much better, and meaningful, in your business, and personal, life. Your clients, prospects, and everyone that you contact must believe that you are the person with whom they should do business or the person with whom they should partner.
We have discussed how you must be professional in your business, promoting a valid product or service for a valid price, and dealing with your clients in an honest, ethical manner. In addition, you must be passionate about what you do in your business, being a product of your product, using your service, and living the life that you promote to your clients. In addition, you must be personal in your dealings with clients, prospects, and others, treating others as people, not numbers. You are the personal face of your business, in all ways.
Appreciation Marketing teaches us to treat people as people, not client or account numbers. Each and everyone whom we meet is a person, with hopes, dreams, and worries. We must recognize those people as people, not just possibilities to sell them something, but people with whom we should bond and engage as people. Find out what their hopes and dreams are; discover their worries and concerns and assist them in their future success. Personalize your relationship.
People do business, and associate, with people not companies. We build associations with people, deciding to continue to buy based on the person representing a business and how that person treated us. We do not build associations with companies alone. While we might make an initial purchase from a company, we will not maintain a long-term association with a company if the people there with whom we interface treat us badly. You must treat everyone the same, well.
There must be a personal relationship in order to have a long association. We should not look to build just associations; we must build relationships with others. Then, and only then, can we have a vested interest in their success, and they will have the same type of vested interest in our success. If you do not do this, you will have a passing association, not a relationship, and you will not be their partner in their success. The level that you must gain is a partnership in the future.
Have you ever heard the term “fair weather friend”? These people say that they will be there when you need them, that they are supportive of you in your time of problems, and that they believe in your success and gaining that level of prosperity. Fair weather friends are the people who really do not mean what they say. They will leave you at the first sign of problems, they will tell you something and mean the opposite, and they will never tell you what you should hear, instead saying what they believe that you want to hear. They will never tell you that you are wrong if you are.
We are products of our past, and we all have stories from that past that we tell to others that let them know who we are. Leave me a story and then share it with someone else, or email me at Jim@SOC4Now.com, or call me at 360-314-8691. When we share our stories with others, we share our lessons and help someone else to avoid the problems that we may have experienced. We prevent someone else from “learning the hard way”, and we allow someone else to avoid failure in their business or in their life. That is what we do for our partners.

So you’ve secured your dream interview, fantastic! However, you might start to feel nervous and worried, which is completely okay. Fear not, as we’ve got you covered in the first of our #TheBasics blog series – where we’re taking a look at some of our top interview tipsfor the ultimate interview etiquette.
It can be exhausting, but preparation is crucial for landing your dream job so set yourself up for success during your interview and research, research, research! There might be some curveballs during the interview but if you’ve fully researched your future employer you shouldn’t expect too many surprises. Also, interviewers love candidates who are well prepared – it reaffirms that you are willing to go the extra mile.
What to wear can give you some headaches before the interview but it doesn’t need to. It’s best to dress for the occasion, no one can begrudge you for dressing smart even if the employer has a relaxed dress code. But try not to be too flashy and divert the attention away from you, as they’re interested in you, not your latest fashion accessory.
This may seem straightforward but you’d be surprised how many people forget to smile in an interview! Coming across enthusiastic with a smile on your face does wonders to keep you relaxed and make the interviewer feel at ease during the interview.
One of the essentials for interview etiquette is politeness so please remember your manners... From the moment you walk into the building, treat everyone with respect and be polite as you never know who you might be speaking to. Through the interview try not to cut off the interviewer before they’ve finished speaking and remember those manners wherever applicable, especially at the end of the interview!
It can be tricky to nail the right body language in an interview as you can be naturally nervous, but this is your time to shine; ooze confidence but try not to come across as too eager. Try to exude confident body language throughout your interview; this could be in your verbal communication to the way you greet your interviewer with a handshake. Try to relax, and know with your preparation you can succeed, this mentality will filter down in your overall interview performance.
Last but not least, keep your mobile phone off, not on vibrate, OFF! It could seriously jeopardise your chances if mid-conversation your mobile phone starts buzzing away.
So we’ve kicked off our #TheBasics series with some essential tips for interview etiquettes, and we hope it’s settled your nerves (even just a little bit).
Follow us on social media for all the latest GetAGraduateJob news and interview advice on Facebook and @getagraduatejob on Twitter and Instagram.

As testy negotiations again heat up between Major League Baseball and ESPN, it’s becoming evident that Wednesday night baseball is headed for extinction, according to sources.
The sides recently resumed talks after taking a break because they have been so far apart.
While ESPN will likely renew its deal, the agreement will be impacted by ESPN’s $8.8 billion, eight-year deal with the NFL. ESPN is currently paying $815 million for its six-year TV contract with MLB and wants more bang for its buck.
In its new deal, ESPN might only have baseball on Sunday and one other night compared to at least three days and sometimes four right now.
For the new contract’s second game, ESPN wants to be able to broadcast in the local market, like it can for Sunday night baseball. Right now, a weekday Yankee-Red Sox game is blacked out in New York and New England so that YES and NESN’s telecasts aren’t infringed.
Meanwhile, some baseball officials are displeased with what they consider excessive coverage of the steroid controversy. They think ESPN should address it, but that as a rights holder they shouldn’t pile on.
ESPN Executive Vice President Mark Shapiro and a baseball spokesman declined comment.
When John Madden signed with NBC, he may have saved Joe Theismann’s ESPN job. ESPN had made an offer to Madden for its 2006 Monday night package, but Madden chose NBC. Though Theismann is still in limbo for 2006, he must have felt some sense of relief, right?
For this season – Theismann’s 18th year at the network – he will again team with Mike Patrick and Paul Maguire, whose jobs also are in jeopardy.
ESPN would like to pull Al Michaels over from ABC, but Michaels is the favorite to land at NBC with Madden.
Along with Jersey City’s Bobby Hurley, the names being bandied about for the Nets analyst job on YES are former Knick and current ESPN analyst Mark Jackson, former Net analyst Jim Spanarkel and CBS’ Mike Gminski, according to sources. A YES spokesman declined comment.
YES’ Spero Dedes and Blazer veteran play-byplayer Brian Wheeler are the two finalists for the Lakers radio job.
While most other sports haven’t had television growth, NASCAR continues to skyrocket on Fox and NBC. Fox Sports President Ed Goren said that, “five years ago, NASCAR went from cable to network TV, while the NBA switched to mostly cable.

1986. Halley’s Comet was appearing in the sky, the UK and France announced plans to construct the Channel Tunnel, and Servants in Hawthorn (now known as Servants Community Housing) began managing Carrical House in Mason Street, Hawthorn.
At the time, Carrical was run as private housing, and the majority of residents were employed single men on a low income. The property was in danger of closing when a small group of people from Hawthorn West Baptist Church perceived a need in the community to provide housing for those who otherwise would have been forced to live on the streets. They formed the not-for-profit Servants in Hawthorn, and began leasing the property from the Office of Housing, running it as a boarding house.
In those days, it was necessary to limit the number of residents with mental health issues, as on occasion their behaviour could prove distressing to other residents, or was thought to be dangerous. However, over the years, the introduction of means-testing of any potential resident and the model of housing that Servants has developed, have meant that today the percentage of residents with mental health issues is closer to 80%. Contrary to the perceptions of mental illness in the media, most days at Carrical pass without incident or aggression, helped by a health system now better equipped to serve those living with a mental illness, particularly through the introduction of individual case workers.
In the 25 years Servants has been managing Carrical House, many changes have been made, all of which have ultimately resulted in a better quality of life for the residents. While society as a whole overlooks the sort of people housed at Carrical, the management and staff see the residents as being worthy of dignity and respect. Most of the residents come to Carrical at difficult times in their lives, yet most residents live there long-term. The changes implemented over the years have turned the property from simply a place to live into a home, a place where they can live in a community, and receive the dignity and respect they deserve as human beings.
Of course, difficulties will always arise when a large group of people are living together in close proximity. The key lies in how these difficulties are resolved, something that the management and staff have continued to perfect over the years.

What does it mean to dress for success? A couple of weeks ago I had a meeting to prepare for that was a bit out of my comfort zone. What on earth was I going to wear?
Since I work in a writing center and am surrounded by peer feedback and collaboration, I immediately started asking for suggestions. Not so much what specific pieces in my wardrobe should I wear, but what vibe did I want my outfit to be giving? Just as in any group feedback situation, I received a bevy of different opinions. And that was wonderful! Those different opinions helped me see my way out of my confusion and decide on my power outfit.
The advice that resonated with me the most was that I should wear whatever gave me confidence and made me feel powerful—what that outfit actually was didn’t even matter. This made me think of my wardrobe in a whole new way. In addition to having seasonal wardrobes, I’m more aware of having fall power pieces, winter power pieces, etc.—and how I might utilize them when I need an extra boost! And I realized that setting outfits aside for special occasions was something I was already doing! When I know that I’ll be presenting at a conference or reading poetry at an event, I like to wear an outfit for the first time—after the special occasion it enters my “regular” wardrobe, and I can enjoy wearing it more often.
1. My tiger print coat! I was in love with this coat as soon as I bought it at a consignment boutique on vacation a few years ago. I saved it for a conference presentation, and wearing it was every bit as wonderful as I had imagined!
2. Any jewelry or scarves that belonged to my Grandma Ruth! My Grandma Ruth was such an influence on me both personally and professionally, and her style was on point!
3. Snake jewelry! I have a few snake bracelets, and they always make me feel powerful. Snakes are great symbols of rebirth and transformation, and I like to always be transforming myself through fashion.
4. Fans! Fans are my new obsession. Look for a future blog post all about fans!
5. And hats! I always feel that a hat elevates my outfit. Look for another upcoming blog post all about hats! This one is reversible and came from my favorite neighborhood hat store Susan Hat.
What I’m seeing right now is that I need a longer list! I didn’t even include capes! Or my snake print coat! Or my growing collection of caftans! I guess that means I’ll need to keep revisiting this idea of fashion and power. More for another day! Regardless, one of my takeaways is that no two people’s power outfit will be the same but that confidence is key. And don’t be afraid to ask for advice. Feedback helps you see different options, whether in writing or fashion, and ultimately helps you learn more about yourself and where your power comes from!
According to the writers of the Oxford Words blog, in 1915, the Oxford English Dictionary could easily have chosen “flapper” for the word of the year (if choosing a word of the year was a thing that happened a hundred years ago). This year, I was fascinated by the non-word pick—more about that shortly—but as I was doing a little research, I happened upon the Oxford Words blog post about “flapper,” and since there are so many ways that the flapper ethos is a style inspiration for me, I had to read more.

I've recently been thinking of releasing a project of mine as a free demo on the UE4 Marketplace.
I've looked around the submission guidelines, and it looks like there are quite a few things that I'd have to sort in order to release the project files. Unfortunately, I no longer have the time to address these, but it would be great if I could upload just the packaged .exe.
I want to submit it for free, just so users can explore my environment. Is it possible to just release a NoEditor .exe, rather than an entire UE4 project?
Thanks in advance for any responses, and apologies if I have missed something obvious.
Hi! We don't accept .exe files or free assets as this time. The marketplace is specifically for assets that users and developers can purchase and use in their games and other projects.
Where to find artists who can create environments for you?

Can I Transfer From One US College To Another?
Transferring from one US college to another is quite common in the US. One popular scenario involves students who study at a community college for two years and then decide to transfer to a four-year college or university to enroll in a bachelor’s degree program.
International students can take advantage of this because it is often easier to get accepted to a community college than a four-year institution. Many community colleges have partnerships with four-year institutions that allow college credits you earn to transfer to the four-year institution.
If you plan to take this course of action, be sure to talk over your academic goals with a college advisor at the community college you are applying to and find out which schools they have partnerships with before you start classes. You will want to select your initial courses carefully to be sure they meet the requirements of the four-year institution you will eventually transfer to and will apply towards your bachelor’s degree.
Some four-year colleges have limits on the number of credits they will allow you to transfer, so if you don’t plan your academic studies well in advance, you may end up spending more time and money earning your bachelor’s degree than you initially planned.
For graduate students, transferring credits is sometimes possible, but it depends on the school and degree program. Your previous coursework must be equivalent to a course your new institution offers and sometimes, you may also have to take a placement exam or even the final exam of the equivalent course at your new institution to prove your knowledge of the subject.
Most four-year institutions will work with you to apply your previous courses as general education credit or towards your degree requirements, but there is no guarantee all of your credits will transfer.

One such study, by Brian J. Aitken and Ann E. Harrison, examined the impact of FDI in Venezuela, a country that received large amounts of foreign investment over a considerable time-span.4 They analyzed annual data on over 4,000 Venezuelan firms from several industries over the period 1976 to 1989. Foreign equity participation during this time varied significantly across industries; for example, 35% of equity in scientific equipment belonged to foreign sources while foreign interests had zero stake in the petroleum refining industry.(c) Aitken and Harrison’s study improved on previous research by looking at changes over time and distinguishing between industries in its analysis.
The researchers found no evidence to support the claim that FDI causes a net benefit to domestic firms through technology spillover. They found that for small plants (those with less than 50 employees), there is a positive relationship between increased foreign investment and productivity, suggesting that individual plants do benefit from FDI.5 Productivity in domestically owned plants, however, decreases when foreign investment in the rest of a sector increases. A change in the share of foreign equity participation in a sector from 0 to 10% results in up to a 2.67 percentage point drop productivity at domestically-owned plants. The authors attribute this effect to market-stealing by the more productive foreign-backed firms. Overall, while small plants with foreign investment benefit from increased FDI in their own plants, domestically- owned firms’ productivity suffers as foreign ownership increases. If the positive own-plant result and the negative spillover effect are added together, “on balance the impact of foreign investment on domestic plant productivity is quite small,” conclude the authors.
While Aitken and Harrison’s study provides a compelling argument against the commonly held wisdom that foreign direct investment is good for developing countries because of technology spillovers, the degree to which the findings can be generalized to all economies is limited. The study improved on previous research by factoring in foreign investors’ tendency, “to locate in more productive sectors and to invest in more productive plants.”6 It is possible, however, that unique aspects of Venezuela or the 1976-1989 timeframe present results atypical from what is truly the norm.
More than a decade after Aitken and Harrison’s work, there is still disagreement about the impact of FDI on developing economies.7 To attract foreign investment, countries often offer subsidies, tax breaks, favorable tariffs and other inducements. The important question for policymakers in these countries is what benefits developing economies accrue from foreign direct investment and whether they outweigh the costs of attracting such investment. Countries may decide to stack the deck by trying to control and channel the benefits of FDI. China, for example, has required multinational companies doing business in its country to share technology that can then be passed on to domestic firms. While this strategy is not without its risks – foreign companies have not been pleased to see their technology picked up so quickly by Chinese firms – it certainly helps ensure that FDI will enrich domestic industry and not just foreign investors.

Hanson (2001) Should Countries Promote Foreign Direct Investment?, G-24 Discussion Paper Series, United Nations.
For larger plants (those with more than 50 employees), the analysis found no productivity gains once plant-specific differences were accounted for, indicating that foreign entities are selectively investing in the more productive firms.

Abdur Rahman Malik, Chaudhry Abdul Rehman, Muhammad Ashraf, Rana Zamin Abbas (2012) “Exploring the Link between Foreign Direct Investment, Multinational Enterprises and Spillover Effects in Developing Economies,” International Journal of Business and Management, 7(1): 230-240.
(b) The “Asian Tigers” was a name given to four Asian countries that experienced rapid economic development between the 1960s and 1990s. They were often touted as a model for developing countries as policymakers and economists attempted to identify the secrets to their success.
(c) Petroleum is a critical part of Venezuela’s economy, accounting for about a third of the country’s GDP and 80% of its export revenue. The oil industry was nationalized by President Carlos Andrés Pérez in 1976 and the state has maintained tight control of it ever since, shutting out foreign influence.

IRR Calculation: Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is an important investment appraisal tool to evaluate and compare return on investment with time value of money factored in. IRR is relatively simple to calculate in spreadsheet with Excel's built in function. However, when cash flows are at non-annual frequencies or non-uniform intervals, it gets tricky. Read about IRR Calculation in Excel.

Castle Hill Lighthouse is located on Narragansett Bay in Newport, Rhode Island at the end of the historic Ocean Drive. It is an active navigation aid for vessels entering the East Passage between Conanicut Island and Aquidneck Island. The lighthouse was completed in 1890 on property formerly belonging to the naturalist, oceanographer, and zoologist Alexander Agassiz of Harvard University. Agassiz sold the land to the United States Government for the lighthouse for $1.00.
Henry Hobson Richardson drew a sketch for a lighthouse at this location which may or may not have been the basis for the actual design. The structure does not include the residence which was featured in Richardson's sketch. The keeper's house was built, and still stands, near Castle Hill Cove, a few hundred feet away.
Although the lighthouse is not open to the public, the shoreline and cliff face where the lighthouse sits are accessible by several footpaths from the Castle Hill Inn and the Castle Hill Cove Marina. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as Castle Hill Lighthouse.
Take the Newport Bridge (Route 138) over Narragansett Bay into Newport.
Take the exit for the Connell Highway (follow signs for Newport).
Follow the Connell Highway for about 0.5 miles and merge onto Americas Cup Ave.
Stay on America's Cup Ave, which then becomes Thames St.
Take a right onto Wellington Ave. Wellington becomes Halidon Ave.
At the Stop sign take a right onto Harrison Ave.
Follow Harrison Ave for 1.8 miles and take a right onto Castle Hill Ave.
In 0.5 miles take a right onto Ocean Ave. Follow to the end.
Park in the parking lot of the hotel/Inn. Walk to the far end of the parking lot and take the path to the lighthouse.

You can help your home retain value and make it more comfortable by making improvements to your home. When you think about how you can change your home, you should think about certain factors first. The following article will provide you with advice to assist you in making the best decisions.
While you want your home to run well, you should pay attention to visual details, too. When you sell your home, buyers will be looking at it, not inspecting its guts. While many important improvements aren’t visible, you must focus on the ones that are if you’re selling your home.
Attaching a couple of PVC pipes is pretty easy to do if you have PVC cement and primer. These products are recommended in order to keep your pipes from leaking, as other cements and glues will not work. Also, the pipes’ surfaces need to be free from water.
Use old two-liter bottles for storage in your kitchen. You can see what’s inside, be it salt or beans. They can conveniently be stored on a shelf or inside your refrigerator of freezer. When you need something all you need to do is take the lid off and pour.
Before you perform any major repairs, run your plans by a professional. Professional advice can help you save a lot of money and time. If you dive in without the advice of a professional, you may very well regret it.
Downspouts, chimneys and gutters are overlooked often with home improvement. These systems are vital to the safety of your home; you have to inspect them regularly and fix problems immediately. If you do not clean out your chimney regularly, it can cause a fire; if you do not clean your gutters, it may cause water to overflow and flood your home.
You must be able to merge your skills, affordability and functionality when it comes to your home improvement options. Take care of your home, and not only will it increase in value, but you’ll derive pleasure for it for years to come.

Energy is a dynamic sector, enriched with new services, new infrastructures, new business challenges.
with respect to security, and requires support for accompagnying its transformation.
Implementing a modern gris requires to understand the possible attacks and the possible defense in that special context. Let’s see what are the actors and material that Trusted Labs can help securing.
That energy field is facing those days some interesting challenges. Increased energy demand, unpredictable generation from renewable sources, volatile energy costs, distributed energy generation, electric vehicles and environmental concerns are coming together to change the nature of the energy grid. The introduction of the internet of things is having an impact on how energy companies wish to monitor and also manage energy demand and supply.
The energy industry has taken this opportunity, to upgrade their ideal infrastructure and is getting connected. Within this context, we are seeing smart metering infrastructures being deployed on a much larger scale. “The 10 largest national deployments worldwide are expected to add 500 million new smart meters by 2020, approximately tripling the 2012 global installed base, and the locus of growth shifting from North America to Europe, then Latin America and Asia” (in Accenture report).
In addition to smart meters, there are a number of additional application that do enable monitoring, billing and delivery of energy towards plants, public infrastructure and citizen house. The safety of this infrastructure is required for a stable economy.
Smart grid target is reliability, survivability and responsiveness of the grid. Thus, smart grid infrastructure provides billing and metering applications, plus essential information about the health and status of the grid. This is a way to answer to current challenges, optimize local grid efficiency, predict power outages before they occur and rapidly restore service. In the end, it improves energy efficiency by continuously adapting production and consumption, improving the traditional functions of demand/response.
And it optimize costs and improve service by enabling a better system of maintenance; assets are monitored more thoroughly and the infrastructure is also upgradable. Depending on the features set, the smart meter may also notify the utility of a power outage or allow the utility to remotely switch energy services on or off. Last but not least, the end-user can monitor their consumption more precisely. But how to move towards this ideal grid while maintaining safety?
The energy industry used to work in closed loop, with a legacy of minimum-security protocols, software architectures and has the obligation of being “always on”. These constraints should be taken into account while going toward modern grid. As a reminder, energy grids connectivity implies two categories of risks: i) Threats to the critical infrastructures, with safety implications for the public and ii) Privacy concerns for end-users. The numerous devices and sensors, connected and interacting can be submitted to attacks from various threat agents such as: corporations, cybercriminals, employees, hacktivists, nation states, natural disasters, terrorists and cyber fighters.
Denial of services attack, which would aim to remotely reduce or remove functionality of the smart meter: examples include disabling remote data collection, cut power distribution.
Remote code execution, giving the attacker partial or total control of the meter. Leveraging manufacturer debug or configuration interfaces to gain remote or local control of the meter. Physical attacks on the meter that would allow access to the device firmware and stored data through analysis of nonvolatile memory components. Retrieval of firmware through debug interfaces or non-volatile storage that would lead to manufacturer IP compromising, and facilitate the vulnerability research leading to exploitation of implementation flaws. Advanced side channel techniques (fault injection, EM/power analysis), aiming to retrieve security material or unlock restricted access.

Advanced side channel techniques (fault injection, EM/power analysis), aiming to retrieve security material or unlock restricted access.
To address those issues, utilities and device manufacturers need to work together and build security by design, at the very start of every connected solution project. Trusted labs has helped various utilities and device manufacturers to build secure connected solutions. Based on our know-how, the approach we recommend is to include security actions at each step of the project, design, deployment, in the field.
In order to mitigate these risk, it is important to integrate security from the beginning of a development or project, in order to integrate security functionalities that counter software/hardware attacks.
The system should be secure by design, rather than added as an afterthought. It is also critical to monitor on a regular basis security risks and new vulnerabilities that systems over time become exposed to and adapt security accordingly. If a solution is already implemented by the customer, we can evaluate the security risk the solution or architecture is exposed to. Trusted Labs has been working with different customer profiles such as (Transmission System operators (TSO), Distribution System operators (DSO), Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or meter manufacturer).
Trusted Labs’ goal is to offer a turnkey solution for its customers to help them manage the security of their smart energy products from the design phase to the implementation.
Trusted Labs offers risk analysis of the device environment by establishing with the developer a list of assets to be protected, threats related to its usage, and security functions that are needed to ensure a secure operation.
This risk analysis is the input of the second step of the collaboration: security recommendations adapted to the product are issued by Trusted Labs to ensure that the threats identified are properly covered. This document is used by the customer development team as a checklist through project progress.
At the end of the development phase, Trusted Labs performs a security penetration testing of the device, in relation with the security guidelines, to ensure that the recommendations have all been implemented and the security of the product complies to its documentation.
Execution of dozens of security evaluations under the CSPN scheme.
Collaborative work on application notes for certification scheme application on smart metering products.

Veterinary treatments for the cats and kittens who come into our care is a significant part of Ten Lives’ budget, averaging around $10,000 each month. It’s where funding for our shelter is always greatly needed. As Tasmania’s largest dedicated cat shelter, we see some of the worst cases of abuse and neglect —donations are quickly used for treatment.
By joining our V.E.T.S. Club you can help us be at the ready to treat these kitties who come to us in need of life saving care and treatments.
The Vital & Emergency Treatment Supporters Club or “V.E.T.S. Club” provides ongoing medical care for the 3,000+ cats and kittens who come to the shelter each year.
Treatment ranges from antibiotics and vaccinations to testing, spay and castration surgery, and more. The health and well-being of cats in our shelter is an important part of our mission.
The V.E.T.S. Club allows us to begin treating animals the moment they arrive at our shelter.
Each case that comes to us is unique – orthopedic issues such as broken bones or sprains, complicated and sometimes emergency surgeries, cats with ringworm, and much more. We can only help those cats due to kindness and support from the community. You can be part of their story by donating via the V.E.T.S. Club.
Our Head Veterinarian, Dr Tess Vitesnik, will provide monthly updates on the number of treatments that the V.E.T.S. Club has assisted in administering.
Club members will receive a 10% discount at the Ten Lives Shop.

We list this drug as a Do Not Use drug because it is no more effective than other antibiotics and causes irregular heartbeat.
If you experience one or more of the signs of liver toxicity listed in the article, you should stop taking telithromycin and call your physician immediately. Do not take another dose of the drug unless instructed to do so by your physician.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that new warnings about liver toxicity, including the possibility of death, have been added to the package insert for the antibiotic telithromycin (KETEK).
There is no reason to take telithromycin.(KETEK) There are safer and equally effective antibiotics available that are approved to treat the same illnesses. If you or a family member experience the symptoms of potential liver toxicity listed in the article, contact the prescriber immediately. Do not stop taking this antibiotic without an urgent call to your physician so you can be placed on a different, safer antibiotic.
Telithromycin (KETEK) has shown to be no more effective than other antibiotics: amoxicillin, cefuroxime, clarithromycin, and trovafloxacin.

Batkivschyna leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk called on the Strike party to unite with them.
Censor.NET correspondent reports that speaking from the podium of Verkhovna Rada Yatsenyuk addressed the Strike party and asked them to answer whether they are ready to form a democratic majority in the new parliament: "We need to unite before the elections and not after them," he said. Yatsenyuk noted that in this case the Party of Regions will become opposition and Ukraine will be ruled by pro-European democratic power.

Why does my love make her worse!
“As I spoke to a patient about her anxiety, she became quite disturbed, teary eyed and agitated. She found my gaze intruding and invading her body. I deactivated the projections, and encouraged her to pay attention to her anxiety again.
But when we did so and she felt relief, she suddenly became disturbed, shaking all over, said she shouldn’t be relieved, and said her own name in the third person: ‘L. is getting so mad! I shouldn’t be looking at myself with such attention’.
I summarized what happened. She said that a voice in her, like a small creature, always yells at her when she pays attention to herself, telling her she shouldn’t, and she should break things in the room and leave therapy. She flooded with anxiety again, regretting having told me about the voice.
She tells herself she shouldn’t help herself and should avoid any human contact. Until the end of the session I was afraid to help her assess her anxiety. Is she psychotic and not suitable for the graded format? Do such interventions help or cause more splitting and psychotic reactions? I would greatly appreciate any comment and insight from you.” Thank you for this important question!
Traumatized patients have learned that love leads to pain. And what is anxiety regulation but the most basic form of love? A startled infant cries, the mother bends over, picks her up, and holds her in a loving embrace.
Exploring the problem, trying to help, regulating anxiety, exploring feelings, these are forms of love. As therapists, you know you love. You care for the person before you. But we forget: love led to pain.
As soon as you explore a problem or a feeling or regulate anxiety, you don’t say you love the patient; you show it. This triggers feelings in all homo sapiens. When these feelings rise, based on earlier relationships, anxiety rises too. That’s why we always need to assess the fragile patient’s response to anxiety regulation: our act of love.
In this patient’s case, feelings rose, anxiety rose, and she began to split and project. Overwhelmed by the mixed feelings of love and rage from her past, she projected her rage onto the therapist: ‘you want to intrude, invade, and hurt me!’ Then she became terrified of the projection she placed on the therapist.
When the therapist regulated her anxiety again, this act of love triggered another rise of feelings and anxiety in the patient. This time she projected the rage onto a hallucinated voice that told her not to accept the therapist’s care and not to care for herself. However, a little bit of the rage toward the therapist was not projected, just displaced onto the objects of the office…a positive sign.
Does our love make patients worse? No. But we must move in quickly to help patients with the rise of feelings and anxiety our love evokes. For those reactions are the history of her suffering. And those reactions rule her life, creating her suffering, increasing her isolation.
As soon as you regulate her anxiety, move in quickly and ask what she is feeling in that moment. Catch the feeling and help her be aware of it and cognize about it before it becomes so amplified by anxiety that she has to project.
You want to build her capacity to know what she feels inside her before she projects it outside of her onto you or others. To do so, cognize about the process.
Cognizing about the projection may help, or she may become dizzy for moment, in which case you will repeat the cognizing until she is able to cognize too.
You may need to deactivate the projection of gazing and invading her.
You must provide a pathway for her to see and feel feelings inside herself toward you. Otherwise, she will project onto you: ‘my feelings aren’t in me; they’re in you.’ If you don’t explore those feelings and deactivate the projection, the patient takes a second step: ‘my feelings aren’t in me; they’re in a hallucinated voice, or they are in the people at my apartment building.’ Projection onto you is the patient’s attempt to begin to look at feelings in her. If we don’t explore her feelings toward us, her feelings will travel into the environment and other people.
As you work this way with a severely fragile patient, you will begin to see how she responds to treatment. Many patients respond well, but it requires a rapid capacity for recognizing splitting and projection, and knowing how to address it. Get the best supervision you can get. This is not a case to work with if you are a beginning therapist. On Allan Abbass’s website there is a lovely paper he and some Australian colleagues wrote on working with eating disordered patients. It’s essentially a primer on how to work with severe fragility. You can also find some excellent hints on how to work with this kind of patient in Allan’s recent book, Reaching through the Resistance. Buy it!
Take home point: when regulating the anxiety with a severely fragile patient, assess the resulting rise of feelings immediately before the patient goes to splitting and projection. Otherwise, she will suddenly regress. Cognize about the mixed feelings to block splitting and cognize about projection to increase the capacity to bear feelings internally without relocating them externally. These are among the first steps we take when integrating the personality of the severely fragile patient.

“Some patient called me and asked me about fearing pigeons. In my opinion, this is the best way to ignore herself. She is forcing me to talk about pigeons instead of herself. As a result, I think the therapy will be failed just before beginning. What do you think?” Thanks to one of our community members for asking this question!
How can we know if the therapy will fail? We have not met her yet. If we do not sit with her and explore, how can we know her capacity, her degree of motivation, even her other difficulties. If we give up before we have met her, we are responding to our own projections (She is hopeless.), not to her.
Instead, we need to be the welcoming openness in which the unknown of this woman may be revealed to us and to her. Due to our fear of the unknown, the patient as mystery, we are often tempted to “predict” [fancy word for therapist projection]. Instead, we must let go of our desire to “know” her before we have had the chance to come to know her. And we must let go of our desire that she be a certain way. Otherwise, we will be relating to our desire, not to her.
She will “force” you talk about pigeons? She must have very great powers to do such a thing! In my experience, no patient can “force” me to do anything. She can ask me to do something. I can say yes to her and no to myself, and then blame her for my choice. Or I can say no to her and yes to myself. Or it may be saying yes to her feels like a yes to me too, and then I’ll do it. If she insists on talking about pigeons rather than her inner life, this can be dealt with as we would with any defense involving self-neglect.
And let’s not forget. No matter how much I know a patient even after a therapy, she is always something other and greater than any idea I can have about her. Can we accept that we do not know the future of this patient? Can we let go of our ideas which are a substitute for living with, being with, another person? Can we bear this unknown we enter into each day? The challenge of therapy: how to be the welcoming openness to the mystery that is another person.

Mesiphidon's simple arrival by the front gates was perhaps unusual. Often his Avatar being burned into existence before the opponents gaze. And yet he walked, his deep black cloak crested with a mantle of lion fur. The fur from a Harsonan Lion was priceless beyond compare, magnificent creatures larger than a draft horse. And one of the few natural creatures besides Dra’sin that were Magi gifted, even if they were incapable of utilizing it consciously.
For a man called the God Emperor he seemed completely without power, attempting to scry his 6’8 broad shouldered frame would reveal little more than that body was human at the peak of conditioning. And yet his eyes burned, white fires coated the Sclera masking his gaze behind the apathetic mask of his face. A short almost unkempt beard framed his jaw, which only seemed to fit with the not quite short but untamed white hair. The seemingly armored almost form snug vest and his black trousers tucked into knee high armor strapped boots added the final touch. He appeared at once savage and regal, wild yet refined.
The only surety was the intensity about the man, his bearing, the way he held himself spoke of a hubris that dwarfed all others. His burning gaze all but disregarding any who stood before him after it expunged the depths of your soul and the core of your being; there was no mistaking the warrior born. Not with the large lion crested Hoplon upon his left arm. Or the double ended polearm held loosely in the right hand. A barbed spear at one end, inverted halberd blades at the other and capped with a smooth crystal that burned with light. Alan’dore was but a small legend now in comparison to its wielder. Yet any who knew of it feared all the same.
No there was certainly nothing human about Mesiphidon, no mortal could possibly hold that gaze, the knowledge behind those fires. To those of a keener sense, those aware of the world beyond its base reality, even there he ceased to exist. Like a hole where existence should be flooding, yet it felt as if the hole were so dense it might crush all that there was. With no soul, and no apparent source of life within this world it begged to question how the body stood there as it did. But Core Magi was not something so easily known. The potential behind it all that teetered on the edge of existence and not.
And now another had come to challenge the Son of Ruin. Had woken the sleeping giant to something akin to a duel; and had the Emperor any sense of empathy beyond that which his beloved wife tried to instill in him. He might have felt pity or sorrow for the poor soul coming to meet their end. He would at the very least honor his challenger with the tools of his trade. Alan’dore would grant a swift death and Lion's Guard would see him safe. But for now he waited, patience certainly not his strong suit as many knew so very well.

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish authorities on Monday renamed a street where the U.S. Embassy is located with the name of Turkey’s military offensive in Syria that had led to tensions between the allies.
Ankara municipal workers put up the new sign in Turkish for Olive Branch Street, replacing the one named after late Ankara governor Nevzat Tandogan.
Turkey launched Operation Olive Branch last month to drive a Syrian Kurdish militia out of northwest Syria. The militia group is a major U.S. ally in fighting the Islamic State group. Turkey regards them as terrorists.
In November, Turkey renamed the street where the United Arab Emirates has its embassy after a long-dead Ottoman military commander. It was a reaction to an Emirati minister’s retweet of a claim that the Turkish president’s “forefathers” pillaged the holy city of Medina.

Smart phones are revolutionizing journalism much the way computers did 20 or 30 years ago. But it’s going to take time for newsrooms to adapt to mobile newsgathering and distribution because it requires a new way of thinking, says Louis Gump, CNN’s vice president for mobile.
More and more mobile phones now come equipped with high-quality video cameras, but most major news organizations still aren’t using them to shoot stories. Instead, they’ve become more willing to accept mobile video from citizens, as CNN does on its iReport site. “No matter how big we are we can’t be everywhere,” Gump said.
True enough, but even when you can be somewhere you can’t always use the standard tools of the trade. When the G20 met in London last year, Alex Wood of Not on the Wires was able to cover the story when TV journalists couldn’t after the police corralled the news media and refused to let anyone pass tapes over the barricades. Using a mobile phone and a WiFi signal from the Bank of England, Wood had no problem getting video out.
What does get shot with mobile phones tends to look different, and not just from a quality standpoint, said Andy Dickinson of the University of Central Lancashire. People tend to talk directly to the camera because it’s not on a tripod. “It removes the distance between the subject and the audience,” he said. Jonathan Hewitt of City University said that mobile journalists themselves are more likely to be invisible to the audience since they’re usually not seen on camera.
The journalism in the cyber-age will undoubtedly reap the fruits of modern gadgets such as smart phones. The trend of citizen-journalist is gaining immense popularity these days in Pakistan just because of mobiles. Today almost every news channel has introduced special programs based on interesting stories covered by ordinary people through mobile phones.
I do believe that over a period of time the news organizations in Pakistan would be providing smart phones to their staffers in a bid to be everywhere at the right time!

My career in IT started in Software Development and most of the time I take for granted some of the common practices and basics of programming that I learnt are also clear for every one of my IT Pro colleagues.
In brief, as developers, when we try to solve problems we define objects and writing source code we describe them into classes. That class definition has attributes and methods that let us interact with that object.
I don’t need to go any deeper and refer to any of the principles of the Object Oriented Programming (OOP), but I can guarantee that knowing them will not hurt you at all! Instead will be very helpful once your script will need to call .NET Framework classes within PowerShell.
In software engineering there is a very simple and popular principle called DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself). With a DRY approach we try to solve problems defining objects or create functions that we can re-use later and it offers a level of abstraction, we write better and more readable code and last but not least we avoid useless redundancy.
But how can we re-use functions without copying them in every single script? How can we structure script as a developer would do?
As you can probably guess the answer is Dot Sourcing.
Essentially is just a way to reference and include another script into one another. In other programming languages are usually placed at the start/top of the script with a keyword as: include, using, import, etc..
But let’s start with a simple example. This is my PowerShell Script called Test-DotSourcing.ps1. To avoid any confusion I’ve saved the powershell script differently than the function name.
When I need to call or re-use that function I can reference with . a space and the file path of the powershell script they I wish to include.
After I’ve imported the script I can call the function that will return the name of our workstation or server.
Yes, is just that simple!

If you account Record - RW media, which are and known seeing re - writable discs, you’ll exemplify able to press on adding data until the recording is full. You care further re - author over existing data on these discs as whole, which makes them epitome for those who constantly rejuvenate documents that they the urge to occupancy onto.
If you are using the standard Recording - R data disks, you won’t sell for able to add supplementary data to them. Once you have heavier the ammo to your disk, that’s essential. This is a bull choice if you yearning to season the data considering is, and perceive wandering a suppress of a question that concrete is vitality to equate backed up whenever you extremity intrinsic.
Shield the prices of Video burners and CDs being then loud these days, anyone contract accommodate them. They don’t cost near due to much being they did age ago, which is why they are consequently popular when undeniable comes to backing up your data. If you own a newer computer, chances are that a Cd burner was included mask essential. If you posses an older computer, you burden buy a Recording burner and some discs for a undeveloped of obliteration.
The highest point about backing up data hole up CDs is the gospel that they are numerous reliable than floppy discs, easier to access than an online backup, and they will last you a interval. If you obtain decisive data that needs to copy backed up, you restraint rest assured that a Recording - Rom is an exquisite street to back up your confidence.

A GREAT book that I’m users you reading is Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. Reminds me of your description – the immediacy of the lives of fictional characters has been so engrossing. I highly recommend it.
A ~ that’s on my list!
I LOVED that book! I read it earlier this year, it is definitely a tear jerker.
Must be a great book, but it is not for me. I am Hungarian, and my brother was stationed at the border of Yugoslavia when the war was on. My mother especially, and the whole family was terrified although he did not see any combat (just watched it unfolding from afar), but as a parachutist could have been deployed any time…. Probably would upset me a lot.
B ~ Everything has shipped *except* two painted skulls, yours being one of them! But I do believe it will be in flight to you this week. Hooray! I’ll email you when it leaves my hands.
Thanks for the book recommendation. As a retired librarian, I’m always eager to find new titles. I just finished Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman. I loved his first two. Be sure to add all three to your reading list.
I also LOVED Homegoing…. I recommend it to everyone looking for a great book. I ordered Girl at War this morning. Thanks for that, Shreve. I love sharing book recs.
One of the joys in my life is to see animals and especially wild animals playing and entertaining themselves. Thanks for taking the video and sharing with us.
I’m always looking for interesting books, as your other readers. Coyote in the ci-tay!!!! I always look around for a trickster when I’m on a run.
Seeing this SFO coyote playing did my heart a world of good. Such sheer enjoyment, such perfect living-in-the-moment.
Hope your little red wagon did herself proud.
Thanks for the book rec – I’ll order it.
Welcome home! And hugs to all.
that coyote bunny hop make me giggle. i needed the laugh. thank you!
Thanks for the pic of beautiful Sid. He’s gorgeous.
Loved your video of the coyote entertaining himself. A reminder to me of the importance of play. Did you film the coyote from highway 101? One of my fave drives of all is 101 south of San Francisco. Kinda rough “highway,” washed-out spots, not a building in sight, cattle grazing on prime beachfront property, ocean pretty enough to make you cry. Then… in just moments, you’re in the city.
2) several cars passed me, oblivious to the best drama of the day, and they missed it. I could’ve watched it all day.
So, the deliveries are done and you are home now? Good. I have a package to mail and I was waiting.
I love watching animals play. This video was totally charming.
I think there is a coyote in the L.A. area that steals dog’s toys from their yards. They have seen him but haven’t been able to catch him. They did, however, find his stash.
I think it’s darling a coyote would steal a dog toy. What use is is? They can’t eat it. It provides no shelter (like if they stole a blanket or a dog bed.) It is purely for play.
I do wonder if they have observed dogs playing with these toys and that is why they take them. They are imitating the play they have seen. Or perhaps, all canines have that sort of play deep in them, waiting for opportunity.
My tastes run quite different.
I just finished Ungifted by Gordon Korman. It’s really a tween book but I happen to like the genre as I feel a good engaging book for this age group is much more difficult to write. I also enjoyed I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President.
I liked Nick Trout’s last two fiction books and Spencer Quinn’s Chet and Bernie mysteries.
The last book that made me cry was The Art of Racing in the Rain. It was excellent but I read for pleasure and I’d rather not read books that jerk my emotional chain.
The last really adult book I read was Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown. Pirates and Foodies. And it works. Loved it.
Have you read heaven is for real?
Just read the Daisy tweet. She is one smart cow. I just love Daisy.

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you are having a great day so far. I wanted something pretty and pink this weekend and these Prism Power nail wraps from the Espionage Cosmetics NEXUS OP Planetary Princesses random spawn.
They are glossy wraps with both tiny glitter accents and some silver foil accents. I love the little glittery stars so much. They have a gradient pink base colour with adorable little bunnies and in hindsight I maybe should have saved these for around Easter but ah well.
As these were a random spawn, they aren't currently available to buy, but did you know that the revamped NEXUS, now called Nail Mail Monthly is back? This month's subs have sold out but if you pop here you can sign up to be notified for when next month's subs open up! And if you use code PLUS10KAPOW when you do sign up, you can get $3 off your first month.

My ideal of democracy aligns closely to Lijphart’s model of “consensus” democracy, which I will be discussing at length in this essay. For me, it is the ideal system because it is the most capable of maximizing the level of representation given to the widest possible amount of the electorate. I will also discuss the notion of “direct democracy,” which heightens citizens’ ability to become an integral, active part of the political system they live in, as well as being able to ensure legislation remains beneficial to them. Lijphart characterizes the consensus model as being based on “inclusiveness, bargaining and compromise” (Lijphart, 1999, pp2), and “tries to share, disperse, and limit power in a variety of ways” (Lijphart, 1999, pp2). My ideal consensus model would be one that implements a multi-party, power-sharing coalition, elected through a system of proportional representation; as opposed to a “majoritarian” democracy, where power is concentrated to a one party majority, often been elected through a disproportionate system, and it is these elements that I will be discussing within the essay.
However, I feel it is important to note that Switzerland has a very low voter turnout, averaging at 44% (idea.int, 2011), whilst other parts of Europe that don’t have such a privileged electoral system, Italy and Germany, for example, often average 80%+ (idea.int, 2011).
There are three types of referendum in Switzerland; firstly, legislation that will change the constitution has to be put to a mandatory referendum, which is open to all eligible voters. If groups are able to obtain enough signatures (50,000 within 100 days) they can force an optional referendum on any law passed; it then has to win a majority within the voting public to pass. Citizens can also call for a referendum on aspects of the constitution if they are able to acquire 100,000 signatures, causing the proposition to get passed through the two Chambers of Parliament and put to a popular vote. This system of referendum is not rare in Europe, but the flexibility that the Swiss model demonstrates is. The Italian constitution, for example, allows an “abrogative” referendum to repeal a law if 500,000 signatures are collected. Unlike the Swiss system however, where any aspect of the constitution, or any law passed is open to the possibility of a referendum, the Italian system only applies to certain areas of legislation, and excludes finical/budget laws, amnesties and international treaties; and it is not obligatory for local governments to allow local referendums (Wagschal, 1997, pp228).
Here, the ability of the electorate to challenge not only government legislation, but also their own constitution, allows them to influence policy in the way that an opposition party would. They also act as a guide for legislation, with the threat of their disapproval certainly acting as a barrier for more radical acts.
Britain, as well as France and Italy, still adopt this unitary system, with power in the various constituencies dictated by the policy of the Cabinet. Formal federal government can be found in four European countries – Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany (Colmer, 2008, pp11). Germany has quite a similar political system to Switzerland, and had been proclaimed an “underdeveloped direct democracy.” (Wagschal, 1997, pp238) Power being decentralized from its coalition to sixteen states. Each of these has their own constitution, and, like the Swiss cantons, is able to govern themselves independently aside from national issues. Each state permits local referendum, but not national referendum, unlike the overwhelming extent of Swiss referendums. These referendums, like those in Italy and Denmark, exclude legislation on budgets, taxies and salaries, which I find particularly unusual considering these are three of the major concerns of any electorate, and goes some way to highlight just how unique the Swiss system is.
Of Lijphart’s two models of democracy, I believe that the consensus model is the most effective and most democratic system to implement. The easiest way to compare the two models is to contrast different countries that use them, for example by comparing Switzerland, a consensus democracy, against Britain, a majoritarian democracy. Whilst Britain has a two-party system, meaning that one party is awarded approaching absolute legislative rule whilst the other is cast into opposition, Switzerland’s government is a coalition made up of all the major political parties. This is a result of the differing electoral systems within the two models; the consensus model uses proportional representation, in which votes are divided proportionally among parties or candidates, whereas majoritarian models use disproportionate systems, such as the “first past the post” system employed in Britain. The obvious advantage of Switzerland’s coalition compared to Britain’s singular party is that the inclusion of more than one party in the legislative procedure allows a much wider section of the electorate’s voice to be included, rather than a legislation that only represents a singular political ideology.
Switzerland is also an institution of “direct democracy.” Within its constitution, all citizens have the right to directly challenge legislation through a variety of referenda, and are obliged to vote on all legislation that alters the constitution. Whereas the Swiss are able to force a referendum on any legislation they see fit, similar systems in Europe, like those found in Germany or Denmark, exclude legislation on subjects such as taxation and the budget. Referendums are commonly perceived to increase voter participation and awareness of political activity, and my ideal democracy would be one populated by engaged, interested citizens. Voter turnout data for Switzerland, however, undermines this assumption. The final element of consensus democracy I have discussed is the implementation of a federal system of government. Power is decentralized from the coalition to its regional divisions, who are then able to self-govern, and pass legislation that is best suited to their particular community, leaving the central government free to deal with matters that concern the nation as a whole. This can be seen in Switzerland, where each individual canton is able to act independently, as are the Landers in Germany, who are also decentralized from their federal coalition government. In Britain, my example of a majoritarian system, the divisions are centralized under the Cabinet, and are only able to enact power and legislation that has been delegated to them, rather than the level of independence that regions under a federal government enjoy.

Credit card was used three times in Packwood on Oct 12th and nothing since. Hardware store , ISPS and Tatoosh.
Phone: Malfunctioning, but it's being pinged today cell phone charger was not working (no activity during past week per ping records).
SPOT/InReach: Update: Spot was never activated.
Resupply: No one in the Snoqualmie Pass area has been able to confirm that Kris might have been there. All packages at the Chevron are gone and we don't know return address if they were returned. Same with Skykomish. They've checked with Summit Inn and the Aardvark has not seen him and he did not sign the register.
Search: The Ulrich Cabin has been checked. Hikers are organizing search now via the Packwood Inn. Contact Kimberly for details (360-508-5631). She is offering free rooms to hikers out searching. Three lifelong locals, and very experienced hikers, are leaving now (10/30) out of Packwood and are going to take the same Trail Kris left on and follow to Snoqualmie Pass.

The Optos® Daytona scans your eye to produce a digital image of the retina, called an optomap®.
The ultra-wide field of view considerably speeds up the screening process, helping your optometrist to quickly identify potential issues and recommend a course of action that will minimise future problems.
If detected early, most retinal conditions and other diseases can be treated successfully.
BBR Optometry was the first optometry practice to bring retinal imaging to the Hereford high street (Polaroid film 1989) which became digital in 2000.
OCT is Optical Coherence Tomography. This is the next generation in imaging the internal structures of the eye. The OCT is a special scanner that creates a sort of optical ultrasound three dimensional image of the inside of the eye. The unique way the image is formed means that for the first time we can actually see below the surface of the retina and view the microscopic layers beneath. This is of profound importance in determining the precise diagnosis of visual problems and in helping us guide patients on the treatment options possible.
Once again BBR Optometry is able to offer its patients direct access to the most sophisticated eye examination available.
3D OCT imaging is automatically part of your BBR private Eye Examination and is included in our extension to the NHS Sight Test.

since things are actually moving forward, I really want to make sure that I try to document some of them. as carefully as possible. The agency will be moving for permanent custody on Mr. B and his older sister. The caseworker expects this trial to happen around Thanksgiving. However, they want to move the baby to be with a great-aunt. We are not thrilled with their suggestion. It would devastate Mr. B to be without his sister. I feel like she's the one piece of his past that he still has. Not to mention that we are the only family she has ever known. Their CASA worker is opposed. So there's some room for change, but as of now, that is the plan.
I've been overwhelmed by this the past week. I don't understand God's plan in all of this. I don't get why He would allow one child (Mr. B, in this instance) to experience yet another trauma and loss in his life. How can a 68-year-old single woman be better for the baby than a family with children and her actual brother? I just don't understand. And I'm angry and sad.
Today, I read this passage of scripture. This passage is where I'm going to live for the next few weeks, I think. Trying to rest. Trying to trust. Waiting on God to move.
The very thing you've been unwilling to do.
You've said, 'Nothing doing! We'll rush off on horseback!' You'll rush off, all right! Just not far enough! You've said, 'We'll ride off on fast horses!' Do you think your pursuers ride old nags? Think again: A thousand of you will scatter before one attacker. Before a mere five you'll all run off. There'll be nothing left of you— a flagpole on a hill with no flag, a signpost on a roadside with the sign torn off.
But God's not finished. He's waiting around to be gracious to you.
Oh yes, people of Zion, citizens of Jerusalem, your time of tears is over. Cry for help and you'll find it's grace and more grace. The moment he hears, he'll answer.

It’s fall. Autumn. Harvest time. I love me some So-Cal weather, but I have to say that I do miss fall in the Mid-West. The leaves change from rich greens to a myriad of golds and reds. There are only a couple weeks there where the weather is perfect; the air turns crisp, there’s not a cloud in the sky. There’s just something about this season that makes me want to wear mittens and drink hot apple cider by an outdoor fire as I watch the last rays of the sun peak over a tree-filled horizon.
But alas, here in good old San Diego that is simply not meant to be. I’ve traded deciduous trees for palms, crisp air for balmy, rolling hills for crashing waves; am I really gonna complain about that? Nope, but I do enjoy reminiscing. However, one thing about fall is the same just about anywhere you go in America; Daylight Savings Time.
This weekend we gain an hour of sleep on Saturday night. While I’m thoroughly going to enjoy staying snuggled under the covers for an extra hour for that one precious night, I know that each year the early sunsets throw me off. Darkness so soon in the evening presents a challenge for my light-loving personality. Staying motivated in the evening becomes increasingly difficult for me as the sun sets earlier and earlier. Each year I find myself envying bears. Why can’t I just eat a bunch of food, sleep for a few months, and re-awaken when the sun stays up for longer? Sounds like a great plan to me!
But alas, instead I find my way to my mat. I love hot yoga any time of the year, but once the weather starts to get chilly here (let’s be honest. . .it never TRULY gets cold!), there’s something comforting about walking into a heated room. Surrounded by other yogis who are settling into their spaces, saying their hellos and exchanging hugs. It keeps me inspired. Keeps me grounded. As I flow through my practice I breathe in the warmth, feel the sweat on my skin, feel the heat in my bones. Each time I leave with a new sense of connection and gratitude. It is that feeling that keeps me coming back; even when it’s dark, even when I’m tired, even when the couch and a good book are calling to me.
So to the early darkness I say “Thank you!” Thanks for pushing me, for making me dig a little deeper within myself to find that extra energy, and for reminding me that without the long nights, I might not realize just how precious the extended days of summer truly are.

Revolution Group was tasked with evaluating ERP solutions and then deploying the chosen technology.

Continuing along in Blogging through the Alphabet, and this time I'm talking about one of my favorite parts of homeschooling my teens.
Sometimes, those "discussions" are really lectures from Mama. Those aren't my favorites.
Mostly, they really are discussions. In our homeschool life, I have tended towards resources that give us a lot to talk about. I started off high school with Connor by switching that approach. You know, making him write out answers and do more textbooky things.
That wasn't fun. For any of us.
So we are back to a lot more discussion-oriented resources in our schooling. Now, in the interest of full disclosure -- one of my biggest failings as a homeschooling mom is that my children are going to struggle with college writing. So you might want to be a more responsible person and make your children write more. I am forcing myself to do that here this coming year. But that doesn't mean we'll slow down on the discussions.
I mentioned in last week's post that I track time for English a bit differently from other things. I expect that my kids are doing their reading outside of "class time" and then we can use our "class" for discussions or for working on writing.
That means that right now, my guys are reading The Two Towers on their own, and we are talking about the book using Literary Lessons from The Lord of the Rings. And that means, instead of them writing out answers to questions, we get to chat. Which leads to fascinating conversations about all kinds of things that matter.
A recent question in the guide was "What is Merry's opinion of Saruman's courage? Why does he think Gandalf has more courage?" In our, oh, at least half hour discussion of this single question, we not only answered it (Saruman hides behind others, protecting himself and not caring about who else is hurt; Gandalf stands alone to protect those who are weaker) but we got into a huge discussion about where we see which type of courage today, or in history. That involved a discussion of Hitler, Washington, Stalin, Caesar, Obama, Napoleon, and on and on.
We recently finished a course called Simply Put: A Study in Economics. This was an absolutely incredible resource for fantastic discussions. We've completed the course, and it is amazing how often the concepts we discussed in there are coming up in other subjects. In reading about the French Revolution, for instance, there was a comment about price controls. Because of the economics discussion a few months ago, we were able to get a bit deeper.
It isn't really important what it is that we are talking about, just that we are discussing things. Having these deep conversations about history, science, literature, current events, or whatever -- these give me the opportunity to find out more about what makes them tick, what they value, and what they worry about. And it gives me a chance to talk about what I value, what I hope for them, and more.
Discussion. My favorite part of homeschooling my teens.
My next post, next week, is still a bit up in the air. I'm considering E is for Entomology, where I'll talk about trying to follow the interests of your kids.
Marcy is posting a word study, and this week is D is for Delight. There are a few dozen other amazing D posts linked up too. Go check some out!
Great post - the "discussions" are my favorite part of having teenagers in the house too! :-) It's fun to watch them start to work through life issues on their own, and hear what's going on in their brains.

When Amazon announced the Kindle 2, they showed off a new synchronization feature that would sync your position in all of your books between Kindle devices. At the time, “Kindle devices” meant the first and second generation Kindles. The intent was clear though, and Amazon soon elaborated that they were going to be bringing Kindle content to mobile devices. What an exciting idea, but I never expected it to happen so quickly.
For the past few weeks I’ve been working my way through the book How the Mind Works (Amazon Link) on my Kindle in my spare time. I’m not going to try to give a full review here since I’m only about half way through the book, but I did want to write a quick post here recommending it. The author, Steven Pinker, does an amazing job of taking extremely complex concepts and distilling them down into language and metaphors that anyone can understand. Among many other points, Pinker touches on how the mind works mechanically, why it may have evolved into the form it is in today, and the differences between cognition and sentience.
The book covers much more ground than I can summarize here, so check out some of the Amazon reviews for more information. Pinker has written a few other books since How the Mind Works, and I’m trying to work my way up chronologically. I started to read the begining of his book The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature , which covers how our mind developed and uses language internally and externally. It was very interesting and I’m looking forward to getting to read the whole book.

The following are a selection common questions and answers about about NCAT's hearing process. This information is provided as a general guide only and should not be treated as legal advice or relied upon as such.
How soon will I get a hearing?
Can I get an urgent hearing?
Can I ask for a change of hearing venue?
Do I have to attend the hearing in person?
Can the hearing date be postponed?
Are NCAT hearings open to the public?
If you lodge a complete application and pay the correct fee, you can expect to receive a Notice of Hearing generally within 14 days. If you apply online, the Notice of Hearing may be provided at the time you make the application.
For most applications, the first hearing will be held within 10 to 28 days from the date of lodgement.
Can I get an urgent hearing?
Yes, but urgent hearings will only be granted under exceptional circumstances. This generally means if there is a threat to personal safety or to property, or where there is significant hardship.
To apply for an urgent hearing you must provide evidence to NCAT proving that an urgent hearing is needed. If NCAT agrees to the urgent hearing, the matter will be listed within 7 days.
Where will the hearing be held?
Home building matters are heard at the venue closest to the building that is the subject of the dispute.
If you entered a contract over the internet NCAT will decide where the matter will be heard.
View the hearing lists to find out where NCAT hearings are held.
Can I ask for a change of hearing venue?
You can apply for a change of hearing venue, but such a change is generally only granted if the other person agrees. If the other person refuses, you can still apply for a change of venue and NCAT will consider your request. Learn more about adjournments.
Do I have to attend the hearing in person?
It's in your best interests to attend the hearing. If you attend the hearing, your side of the story will be heard and you can ask questions of the other person. If you don't attend, the hearing will still go ahead and orders will be made in your absence.
At the hearing your representative must give the Tribunal Member your signed and dated written authority to represent you.
This option is only available where telephone facilities are available and will not always be granted. To request a telephone hearing, write to NCAT stating your specific reasons for wanting to appear by telephone, for example you are overseas.
It is preferable to use a landline for telephone hearings as they are usually more reliable. However, if there is no landline available a mobile phone is acceptable.
Any party giving evidence by telephone must ensure that the telephone reception is sufficient to allow the hearing to proceed.
This should be in the form of a statutory declaration. You need to have NCAT's consent to have the matter dealt with on the papers.
Can the hearing date be postponed?
You can apply to have a hearing date changed. This is called an adjournment request. Learn more about Adjournments.
Can my family and friends come with me?
Family and friends can come with you to the NCAT hearing for support, but they cannot speak or interpret on your behalf. If you require an interpreter, NCAT will provide one free of charge. Learn more about requesting an interpreter.
Your support person cannot sit in on a conciliation session without the permission of the other party. If you want your support person to sit next to you during the hearing you will need to ask the Tribunal Member for permission.
Are NCAT hearings open to the public?
Hearings held by NCAT's Consumer and Commercial Division are open to the public and anyone can view proceedings.

Always funny seeing pics from those European dates. In the US you imagined them to have been playing enormodomes around this time, yet the Euro gigs look so small.
The encores are not to be released.?!?!
"Fans get another opportunity to dig into Deep Purple‘s Mk III era with the upcoming release of the oft-bootlegged ‘Graz 1975,’ long considered the best concert performance ever by David Coverdale, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice.
I have never heard anyone say Graz is the best Mk3 concert, but here's to hoping it will turn out to be!
I do not know if it is really from Graz as it says on you tube but if it is its very good by Blackmore and Paice.
Lord is somehow buried in the mix Coverdale laks aggresion and Hughes is to much in the mix with his sometimes messy bass playing. Just my thoughts after one listen.
It certainly is not the best version of "Burn". The version of ST from this show(on Final Concerts) is the worst version I've ever heard. Lord sounds very subdued(maybe because he just found out that RB was leaving). I hope YFNO is the full version!!
I don't care if the second disc would've only been 20min long, I would've gladly paid for a 2disc set if they had included the encores.
The full show, that's what it should be. Who the !@#$ - now, I don't mean Birch in 1976 - has the right to edit stuff away, drum solos, guitar solos, keys solos, a bassist whooping away? Non one!
So they used the edited versions!!! Cheap so and so's!! I already ordered it. I hope "The Gypsy" is good. It's too bad that Simon Robinson isn't involved in releasing these shows. If it wasn't for him we never would have gotten the full 1975 Paris show(and other DP goodies).

The front door will be unlocked with the key on the Kitchen Counter.
The Akwa Marina Beach Bar is great in person.
The fire place turns on with the flip of a switch right next to the fireplace.
The mini split can also be set to heat. If it is chilly you may want to turn on both.

UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz ignored the pain, clenched his right hand, and fought for 25 minutes Saturday night. The result: his fourth consecutive title defense and a badly damaged hand that requires surgery.
In the opening round of a unanimous decision against Demetrious Johnson in Washington, D.C., Cruz (19-1) dislocated his middle finger at the knuckle and tore ligaments and tendons, the UFC champion told ESPN.com.
"It just hurt and felt off," Cruz said. "My finger kept popping out of the socket."
Cruz has dealt with major hand injuries before. He was forced out of action for nearly six months with a similar malady to his left hand before returning in July to best his rival Urijah Faber.
"It's basically the exact same injury I had on my left hand," Cruz said. "Same knuckle, same everything. The tendon is completely ripped off the bone and my finger is popping out of its socket due to that. And the knuckle just dislocates when I make a fist. I have to get that tendon that ripped reattached with surgery."
Yet the 25-year-old, ranked No. 6 on ESPN.com's pound-for-pound list, does not fear hand ailments will derail his career.
"After I got the surgery on my left hand the doctor said it would be stronger. And it's true. It is stronger," Cruz said. "He put an extra piece of tendon over the top of the knuckle so it's braced for impact.
"He did some voodoo stuff with it that he drilled a hole through the knuckle and tied it so tight that there's no way for that tendon to lift back up off the bone again. I really feel like it's stronger than it was in the first place and I won't have any issues with it anymore."
Cruz intends to use the same orthopedic surgeon based out of Chicago who repaired his left hand. Cruz, who remained back East to visit family and friends, won't see the orthopedist until he attends the UFC Fan Expo this weekend in Houston.
During the contest with Johnson, Cruz's San Diego-based corner wasn't aware its fighter was injured. Afterward, Cruz told his trainer Eric Del Fierro that he "could still make a fist" so he ignored the pain and didn't say anything.
"I'm kind of weird where I feel if I don't say anything about it it's almost like it's not an issue. I mean, no matter what, am I going to quit fighting because my hand is busted?" Cruz said.
"That's not an option. You have to figure out a different way to fight and win, unless it's so bad that you just can't take it. But it wasn't so I didn't feel the need to talk about it."

I downloaded these from my pc some time ago but can't find my old itunes account!
To delete a photo on your iPad, go into the album in your photo app, click the word 'Select' in the top right corner, tap the photos you want to delete then tap the trash icon on the top left. You will get a confirmation pop up asking you if you are sure, click that and your selected photos will be moved to the 'Recently Deleted' folder.
The bigger issue here I think is your iTunes account. Do you know your Apple ID? Is Find my IPad switched on? I would do everything you can to re-establish your iTunes account as soon as you can before not having it becomes a problem.
For instance, some people who have posted on here have permanently locked themselves out of their devices by not having their Apple ID after a restore, or a lockout from entering password incorrectly too many times.
If you know you Apple ID username (usually an email address), you can ask for a password reset and I'd think about doing that right now, if I were you.
I may be wrong, but if these photos came from your PC, they will have to be deleted on the PC. There's no option to delete on the phone for those. It's one of those things Apple needs to fix.
Led you are correct. If they are synced photos from the PC then you need iTunes to remove them.

The term Black Sky event has an appropriately ominous ring to it. It refers to natural or human-caused disasters that could result in large-scale disruptions of critical infrastructure for a month or longer. Examples of Black Sky events are powerful hurricanes, earthquakes, and high-altitude electromagnetic pulses.
Last year the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council, which convenes federal government and power industry leaders, pinpointed Black Sky event response as worthy of additional research. In particular, the council wanted to investigate emergency communication systems that could operate during extended outages to support repairs and service restoration.
Recent natural disasters such as Hurricane Maria point strongly to the importance of emergency communications. Without voice and data communications, utilities face extreme challenges in dispatching crews, making repairs, load balancing, and other critical activities. The power industry needs effective, reliable tools to meet emergency communications requirements.
EPRI’s research builds on the North American Transmission Forum’s “Spare Tire” initiative, which identified reliable voice and data communications along with 10 other operational capabilities that would be required to restore grid operations after the loss of control systems. EPRI is documenting requirements for emergency communications during a Black Sky event, assessing technologies to meet the requirements, examining interoperability standards, and developing a technology test plan.
Communication equipment must be able to function in worst-case scenarios—including a Category 5 hurricane, an earthquake of magnitude 7 or greater, a cyber attack or terrorist attack on the power grid, and a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse attack or geomagnetic disturbance.
Researchers are evaluating the emergency communication capabilities of technology using high-frequency radio and near-vertical incidence skywave propagation. Because these can provide long-distance communication without expensive infrastructure, the military has long used them in remote locations.
In the lab and the field in Manhattan, EPRI and Con Edison evaluated whether the system could interface with a SCADA system used for testing (and not grid operations). The voice component worked fairly well. Data communications worked in the lab but not in the field, revealing the need for additional investigation of shortwave radio’s reliability. The investigation highlighted the necessity to rely on multiple technologies to address different Black Sky scenarios.
EPRI’s report details the strengths and weaknesses of numerous voice and data technologies. Interviews with utility executives revealed that utilities have prioritized Black Sky communications with state and regional emergency operations centers. EPRI will continue to develop and test communication technologies and may collaborate with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which has a shortwave radio program with participation from many local emergency and first-responder agencies.
EPRI presented the results of its Black Sky research to the R&D committee of the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council. EPRI’s next step is to develop specifications for a Black Sky communications system and use these specifications to guide vendors and technology providers as they develop systems. EPRI also plans to develop a guide for utilities on system operations and maintenance.

My eyes fell off, but orange brake calipers with the F logo would have made it perfect.

Shocking similarities! It's time for us to review the grand turismo vision LF-LC.

Every F element looks fine on the LC500 but it doesn't need the side vents at all, they'll spoil the smooth surface of that part.
Given that the F-engine is the basic on the LC500, Lexus could have a secret weapon in its arsenal. I'm hoping for a twin-turbo V8 with at least 560hp.
The LC F will have 600hp minimum. Hopefully we get the convertible RC also.
The LF-CC was the concept of the RC.
Of course, the exception is the LFA, but to my eyes, since the LC is offered in "base" with the smooth front fenders, it's not an F without the signature fender vertical scoop on each side. Those are a must!

The vents are also functional for cooling the rear brakes, so I'm cool with them!
Alexander Li and PeterF like this.
Is nobody thinking that maybe the engine in the LFA project X could be used in the LC F?
I think the LC F will probably have a V10, given it's proportions. But it might affect the price, so I'm not too sure.
The starting price would be at least $170,000 in that case.

Being able to always present to my clients a final product of extraordinary quality. Being able to see the joy in each of the faces when they receive their images and knowing that in between the lines there is a transforming process so positive in each heart photographed.
The way Morgana sees the beauty in each individual through her lenses. She is able to make anyone comfortable during the photoshoot. The exchange of experience is just as rewarding for Morgana, as it is for the clients. During the photoshoot the ambience is relaxing, it is amazing for the self-esteem and the results are always impressive.
Art manifests in different ways, and Morgana definitely expresses her art through her differentiated way of looking at us. A natural gift that extracts in images the best of what each individual has always had, but sometimes can’t see it. Working with her is not only work, it’s a personal achievement. Seeing the satisfaction of the clients makes it such a magical moment. Every woman should allow themselves this treat.
The creations during the photoshoot, the colors, the beautiful make-up, the fun we have, all into the final product which is of extreme quality. But what attracts me the most and I see it in the clients is how Morgana is able to make anyone feel comfortable during the photoshoot. The result is always surprisingly beautiful!
Working with Morgana, I realized that her work is actually a therapy, and it is contagious and addictive for the simple fact that she allows you to see who you really are. She makes you understand how beautiful every human being is and that gives you life! She gives you life in every image.
Morgana interacts with the clients in a different way, feeling deep inside what they need to completely relax and be part of the transforming photoshoot. Her work is special and the results are fascinating.
The quality of the final product, Morgana’s talent is a gift from heaven. The experience is unique and forever. When being in the photoshoot, it literally is a therapy for anyone.
The sensibility Morgana has at the moment of the photoshoot is breathtaking. She creates the perfect atmosphere and knows how to make anyone comfortable, exposing their best qualities and character; she is then able to capture the essence of each person in each image which is art.
The differential is the quality and experience of Morgana's work, it is personalised and everyone feels super comfortable when Morgana is shooting. What motivates me the most is to see the happiness in each client when they receive their photos. Morgana is able to capture the beauty in each individual, it works like a therapy!

Bat Face Cuphea's pointy leaves remain green in color throughout the year. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant.
Bat Face Cuphea is a multi-stemmed annual with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
Bat Face Cuphea will grow to be about 30 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 30 inches. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. Although it's not a true annual, this plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.
Bat Face Cuphea is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
