[dropcap]A[/dropcap]fter cash-strapped airline Jet Airways on Monday evening announced its worst quarterly earnings since the air carrier commenced its operation in 1993, conglomerate Tata Sons is in active talks to acquire a controlling stake in the aviation firm, sources told news agency Reuters.
Tata is very interested in Jet but it is not at a stage of conducting due diligence or looking through non-public data, said two of the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity as the discussions are private.
Tata told Reuters it would not comment on speculation. Jet did not respond to an emailed request for comment.
One potential deal structure could include Tata taking over Jet’s assets including the planes, leases, pilots and slots but not the whole company, one of the people said.
The first step is to see if the economics are viable, if it makes sense from the cost and strategy perspective, and if Tata can make it work with its other aviation businesses, the person said.
Tata already owns and operates two airlines in the country: full-service carrier Vistara, which is in partnership with Singapore Airlines, and low-cost carrier AirAsia India in combination with AirAsia Group Bhd.
Jet, founded by entrepreneur Naresh Goyal, is struggling to make payments to creditors including aircraft lessors and employees, and has seen its share price plunge 70% so far this year.
The air carrier faced a net loss of Rs 1,297 crores in the second quarter ending September 30, 2018. Even in the state of loss, there is a 9.5 % growth in revenue as compared to the same quarter last year.
In the same quarter last year, the profit of the airline carrier was recorded at Rs 49.6 crore.
Several factors including a hike in fuel prices, tough market competition and the weakening of domestic currency are the factors being reported behind the air carrier’s major loss.
On November 3, the second-largest airline in India had urged their travel agents to sell its tickets to avail of last year’s incentives.
Earlier, Jet Airways had reportedly offered its pilots an option to leave the airline without serving a notice period as the cash-strapped carrier aims to cut capacity and scale down its operations.
Media reports also claim that in the past few months, more than 50 Jet Airways pilots have resigned, with a majority of them serving a notice period of just 48 hours. | 2019-04-21T08:57:02 | https://dbpost.com/after-taking-over-vistara-and-airasia-tata-sons-eye-debt-ridden-jet-airways/ |

GLENDALE — For more than 3 weeks now, students from local high schools – both private Armenian and public – have been working the phones here, volunteering every day, to raise funds for two beneficial projects of Armenia Fund’s 15th International Thanksgiving Day Telethon: construction of multifunctional community centers in Armenia and Artsakh and humanitarian relief to Syrian Armenians caught in a brutal civil war.
“On Thanksgiving Day some of our compatriots are out of town visiting their relatives in other states, some might not have a chance to watch the broadcast, so we decided to give our fellow Armenians a chance to participate by calling them directly before Thanksgiving Day. Most importantly, this is also a good chance to communicate with our donors – to educate them about Armenia Fund and its projects, and for us to hear our donors’ concerns and suggestions,” said Sarkis Kotanjian, Executive Director of Armenia Fund, U.S. Western Region.
Armenians from Texas to Minnesota, from Missouri to California are answering Armenia Fund’s call to extend a helping hand to Armenia and our Syrian Armenian brothers and sisters. Keeping Artsakh strong is an undisputed, absolute and every-day priority – a sacred duty for every Armenian as the loss of Artsakh means the loss of Armenia. At the same time, our nation is as strong as every Armenian community around the world.
Today’s “ground zero” of the Armenian Diaspora–the Syrian Armenian community–found itself caught in a violent civil war unfolding around them as they remain neutral in the internal Syrian armed conflict. With pain and sorrow every Armenian throughout the world reads news of Armenian homes, churches and schools being looted, damaged or burned, and innocent people killed or wounded. Our brothers and sisters need food, medicine and temporary shelter as well as emergency medical and other critical humanitarian assistance. Members of the Syrian-Armenian community who escaped the nightmare of war and found refuge in Armenia have similar needs.
Every dollar counts as it represents a united national front to help Armenians in places where that help is needed the most.
Armenia Fund’s 15th International Thanksgiving Day Telethon will air on November 22, beginning at 8:00am PST and broadcasting around the world for full 12 hours.
General Sponsor of Telethon 2012 include – Ardshinvestbank, Los Angeles Major Partner – Massis Kabob, Sponsor – Ameria Group. | 2019-04-22T20:54:42 | https://massispost.com/2012/11/telethon-2012-answering-the-call-of-a-fellow-armenia/ |

Juniper Networks scored a big SD-WAN victory. The company announced that Vodafone selected its Contrail SD-WAN to be included in the operator’s portfolio of enterprise cloud-based services that it calls its Ready Network.
Vodafone’s Ready Network will use Juniper’s universal customer premises equipment (uCPE), its self-service portal, its Contrail Service Orchestrator, and its NFX Series Network Services Platform.
Juniper’s uCPE is important because it can deliver multiple virtual network functions (VNFs). This means that Vodofone customers can use the same device to deploy additional VNFs without needing to install additional physical appliances or dispatch humans on-site to provision services.
In addition, Juniper’s self-service portal can handle provisioning and management of WAN services as well as visibility and analysis of network performance. The portal also provides customers with bandwidth-on-demand, which means they can increase or decrease their bandwidth in response to changes in traffic and business requirements.
Vodafone said that one of the reasons it selected Juniper’s SD-WAN was because of its Contrail Service Orchestrator, which the service provider is using to oversee parts of its SD-WAN infrastructure and to provide its customers with a customized self-service portal.
Juniper said that its Contrail Service Orchestrator can provide security across hybrid WAN connections, including IPSec, MPLS, broadband, and LTE.
Juniper’s NFX Series Network Services Platform, which Vodafone is also using, integrates with Contrail and can be deployed at each customer location to provide firewall protection and advanced cloud-based threat protection.
Juniper has been relatively quiet about its SD-WAN business. However, in February it announced that Alaskan operator GCI was deploying the company’s Contrail SD-WAN as part of the carrier’s virtual managed service platform, CloudFlex SD-WAN.
Today’s Vodafone news is by far the company’s largest service provider SD-WAN deal to date. Juniper CEO Rami Rahim has said that the company’s strategy is to focus on helping its service provider customers deliver SD-WAN. | 2019-04-18T22:44:54 | https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/vodafone-picks-junipers-sd-wan-for-its-enterprise-services/2018/09/ |

and more with our ultimate Rivierenbuurt guide.
An upscale, green neighborhood that's a destination for families.
Rivierenbuurt has a low violent crime rate and an above average property crime rate for Amsterdam.
WHAT’S LIVING IN Rivierenbuurt LIKE?
Rivierenbuurt literally translates to ‘River neighborhood’. It's name stems from the fact that most of the streets here are named after rivers in the Netherlands. This residential neighborhood was developed in the 1920s for Amsterdam’s middle class. It was part of architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage's ‘Plan Zuid’, and was considered quite an architectural wonder in those days. Even today, architecture buffs find their way around the many examples of Amsterdam School architecture.
The homes here are larger than in other inner-city neighborhoods, with spacious apartments, often on one floor, big enough for families. Just before WWII, many Jewish refugees lived here and it’s here where Anne Frank spent her years before she and her family went into hiding.
Today Rivierenbuurt is mostly favored by families. It’s safe, green, and easy to reach by both public transport and car. The ground floor apartments with gardens are snapped up, often even before hitting the market, for a premium. But apartments one, two, or sometimes even three flights up from the ground are still popular. Prices are a little lower here than in neighboring Oud Zuid or Apollobuurt, but are still quite steep.
The housing options vary from street to street: large villas in the southern part of Rivierenbuurt are among Amsterdam’s most expensive properties, whereas some of the buildings in the streets between Amstel River and van Woustraat are still mostly rent controlled social units.
In between one can find apartments and homes for sale and rent that meet a variety of budgets. This makes for a good mix that is reflected in the shops, cafés, and restaurants on Maasstraat, Scheldestraat, and van Woustraat.
Riverienbuurt is bordered on the north by De Pijp, on the east and south by the Amstel River, and on the west by Zuidas.
People that don’t live in this area usually have no idea this place exists, but when they first visit they are often pleasantly surprised. This beer lovers' café offers a wonderful selection of beers on tap or bottled. The large terrace is a favorite with moms, dads, and groups of friends enjoying a cold brewsky alike.
This pleasant restaurant offers a delicious menu of ‘seafood&seasons’. This means that their fare depends on the time of year. No matter what the season, you can be sure of having a lovely meal. Vegetarians love it here, too. The restaurant is close to the RAI convention center making this a popular hangout for exhibitors or single travelers. But families and couples love it too.
When people talk about "bowling" in Amsterdam, they mean Knijn. This is a staple destination for bowling buffs. It’s been in the same spot for over 40 years and is not going anywhere soon. Expect groups of friends, families, colleagues, or any other group of people. They all have one thing in common: they are having fun.
Vegetarian restaurants often lack the charm and finesse of a "real" restaurant. But this isn't true of Betty’s, which is a favorite with vegetarian and non-vegetarian foodies. The owner, Gido, started this gem of a place in 1988. His mom used to bake the savory pies and Gido himself prepared the rest. Gido is still the host, but has since hired a professional chef. The menu is a three course surprise, allowing for any kind of allergy or diet. Make sure to include the cheese plate and ask Gido to recommend a wine.
As the name suggests, this massage salon will make you feel good. Their qualified masseurs offer top quality treatments, so when you're feeling in need of some relaxation just come on in.

"He didn't hurry. He took his time and looked over each mount before he made his choice. He climbed up into the silver laden saddle and gently tested the mighty horse's reflexes by touching him lightly with a spur. It felt good. The wind was from the South, and the sun was quickly going down. The night ride would soon begin, and Johnny was ready. The hauntingly beautiful music started, and they began to spiral upward slowly. Tonight's destination would be the third star on the left of the water bearer, deep in the valley of dreams." | 2019-04-21T12:53:32 | https://byerleyart.com/products/evening-ride |

My goal in this post is to cover some of the main attractions in and around Castel Sant’Angelo. The castle is a very large complex with several towers, rooms, and monuments that will not all be covered below. However, I hope this post provides you with enough information to help you plan your visit.
There are many ways to get to Castel Sant’Angelo, but I prefer to walk over the bridge or Ponte Sant’Angelo which takes you to the castles’ main gate. The bridge is decorated with beautiful statues of angels. The views from the bridge are also breathtaking.
I arrived at the castle when it opened at 9:00 a.m. There was a small line, which was rare because the summer months in Rome are extremely crowded. Below is a short video clip that will give you a visual to the entrance of the castle from Ponte Sant’Angelo.
Walking into the castle I could feel the history all around me. The tour began with the Walkway of Boniface IX. The walkway is situated between the base of the large cylinder of the castle and the outer walls.
The Walkway of Boniface IX.
I continued down the walkway stopping a few times to read the signs that provide solid historical information to visitors. Many visitors walk right by these markers. I couldn’t get enough of them. Of course this made my visit last a lot longer, but that was fine by me.
Eventually, I made my way up up the stairs to the Bastion of Saint Mark.
The Bastion of Saint Mark (pictures above) is located on the north-west corner of the castle next to the passeto (stone wall passage that leads to the Vatican). The bastion was built in 1447-155, however through the centuries, the bastion has had many alterations and upgrades.3 There are several other bastions that surround the original cylinder structure that allowed for a strong defense if attacked.
I walked along the second level of the castle taking pictures of the other bastions and I also took a few photos of Ponte Sant’Angelo from the walls.
View of Ponte Sant’Angelo from the castle walls.
After seeing the walls, I made my way into the main tower or cylinder structure where the old mausoleum was located that housed the remains of former Roman emperors including Emperor Hadrian.
On the upper levels of the castle, there are several things to see. I was very impressed with the Angel Courtyard. The courtyard was designed by Michael Angelo for Pope Julius II.4 From the courtyard, you can visit the exhibit of Art Religiosity in the 17th Century Rome. I enjoyed the exhibit and learned a lot about Rome’s past. Depending on your time frame you could easily spend up to 30 minutes visiting the exhibit. Please note that photographs are not allowed inside the exhibit.
I believe the bee stands for Bernini.
Steps from the upper level.
I continued up the steps towards the circular tower which sits on top of the older structure. The difference in construction is clearly visible when you compare the types of construction material. It is on this level that you will encounter some amazing views of Rome and Vatican City. I walked along the path and took some photos of the city from the restaurant terrace, The Loggia of Julius II, and also of the Theater Courtyard.
The Loggia of Julius II overlooks the Tibr River and it was built by Pope Julius II around 1505. The Loggia provides stunning views of the city and of Ponte Sant’Angelo.
The Loggia is in the three windowed opening in the center of the tower.
View from The Loggia of Julius II.
Finally, I made my way up to the upper terrace, but not before visiting the Sala Polina, the Treasury Room, and the Armory. I recommend taking some time to stop at each room to learn more about the castle. However, the treasury room is not accessible to visitor, so take your picture quickly from the doorway and head straight up the stairs towards the armory because there will be line behind you.
It is believed that behind the back wall of the photograph above is where Hadrian’s tomb was located.
The top terrace was packed with so many people it was hard to walk around and get some good photographs, however I was able to get the picture above. I decided to take some video after waiting for an open spot near the edge of terrace overlooking the city (Please see video at the end of the post). I slowly made my way down the many levels of the castle. The exit I chose was the helicoidal ramp which leads visitors down to the entrance of the castle. The ramp is filled with history. For example, there are original tile mosaic floors and large shafts on the ceiling that ventilated the prison and also served as drainage for rain water.
Shaft leading up to the prison room of Saint Marocco.
My visit to Castel Sant’Angelo was enriching. I learned a lot about the history of the castle and also of Rome. After all, the castle played a significant part in Rome’s history throughout the centuries. For example, during the 5th century, the Goths invaded Rome and sacked the city. Many of the urns, including Hadrian’s urn were destroyed. This was many of the historical pieces of history that I learned during my visit.
Admission: Adults is €10.50 and €8.50 for students. Last admission is one hour before closing.
Opening Hours: The castle is open from April – September 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. and from October – March 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Directions: From Termini take bus #40 Express. From Piazza Navona take Zanardelli Street north to Ponte Umberto I Bridge. After the bridge turn left and Lung Castello will take you straight to the castle. From the Vatican walk east on Via di Conciliazione Pia directly to the castle.
I’ve included more video clips of views from the castle below. | 2019-04-20T02:29:47 | https://historyhiker.com/2014/08/25/castel-sant-angelo/ |

Customers would want to know any looming price hike, so announce your plans early. If possible, tell your contacts in advance. Often, it takes 30 days to tell them of the price hike.
Present the increase with details to make it valid and reasonable. Certifications and recognitions from organizations such as International Standardization Organization or ISO are good reasons for raising your service rates. Tell them the reason for it, so buyers will understand your move and be ready with the new pricing scheme.
If the increase is due to an added feature or improved service, tell it straight. If buyers have no choice but to ignore the feature or select the unimproved service, tell them likewise. Further, you can say the global market dictates the new industry pricing.
Yet if your scheme, which favors an outsourcing cost increase, allows them to make controlled choices, then give them possible options so they can control their purchases. This means giving clients great options such as newer vs. older versions or two cheaper items vs. one expensive product.
If your clients disagree with your pricing plans and you don’t want to lose them, offer them newer choices. Suggest a cheaper choice, let them do a short review, or convince them to select items from other brands. Yet, be ready with the product details, so you can explain them well.
A drastic change involving a large sum may be too much and may make clients lose their interest. The key here is to apply a pricing scheme that equals the product’s value or worth.
If you offer a 48-hour turnaround time for product delivery, you may make it 24-hours but for a premium price. Clients sometimes pay more if they can get the product faster. With this, you convince them to agree to your outsourcing cost increase.
Sometimes, buyers suppose that bundled products are cheaper than single-item purchases. Without being devious, this technique may give you the chance to raise your rate with a bundled service.
Follow these tips and keep your customers.
As outsourcing remains a top industry, firms want to gain the most from their offshore deals. Despite the huge demand, though, BPO firms cannot carry out an outsourcing cost increase. A more practical choice is to locate a third-party provider. If you’re looking for BPO solutions, hire us. | 2019-04-26T10:32:49 | https://www.filwebasia.com/outsourcing-cost-increase-keeping-clients/ |

A jersey tunic you'll wear again and again, it has a scoop neckline for you to wear your White Stuff necklaces atop and short sleeves perfect for summer. We've added gathers at the centre for a flattering fit.
Flock of Birds Jersey Tunic is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 11.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Daisy44 from Great fit and pretty pattern It fits very nicely, also if your tummy is not as flat as it used to be.
Rated 5 out of 5 by supermazza from Great versatile top! I bought this in the sale and I would have paid full price for it, it's fab. I love this style it's very flattering and in a great print too.
Rated 4 out of 5 by WalkTheDog from Great colours Love the colours and that it isn’t overtly summery. I’ve had to size up in this particularly WS style this season. Please return to usual sizing in this one WS.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kate888 from Neither one thing nor another Photos don't show the tunic being worn, so it was longer than expected. I'm 5'4", and this was quite long on me. It looked daft (too long) with crops, but was too short to be worn on its own. Tunics can vary in length so much, it would be helpful to show it on an actual person. Sadly returning, because the fabric and colours were lovely, and I was hoping the length would be flattering too.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Penhow from Something my granny would wear Another sale purchase but had to return. The design was a bit too “tea towel” like for me and the gathering on the front added to the dated look. I find some WS prints fall short of the mark in terms of design. | 2019-04-25T13:46:14 | https://www.whitestuff.com/womens/dresses/multi-flock-of-birds-jersey-tunic/ |

MySpace has become the most widely used networking site for musicians. Bookings and publicity have been remarkably streamlined because the website enables musicians to showcase music, photos, and even videos. Today, a musician can simply direct a client to a MySpace page with a quick email, and a gig can often be confirmed within minutes, without waiting for a demo package to arrive in the mail.
Despite these many advantages, however, MySpace has not achieved all it set out to achieve. There’s often nothing that friendly about a MySpace “friend.” Instead of a social network, MySpace has become more like a mass publicity engine, making electronic connections that produce no real personal connection. Unfortunately, a mass publicity engine available to everyone is a contradiction in terms. As Gilbert and Sullivan once said, “When everybody’s somebody, then no one’s anybody.” If each musician sees himself as “the star” and the other person as a member of “the audience,” neither party gets what they want from the connections. In situations like this, when someone posts a comment on your site, it’s usually something like, “Thanks for the Add. Now go to my page and see how cool I am.” But what good is it be “connected” to another musician, if neither of you have carefully listened to each other’s music, or even visited each other’s sites?
To some degree, this problem is a byproduct of MySpace’s success. With millions of people online—many of whom are trying to uncritically gather as many friends as possible—it’s not easy to create a genuine spam-free community. I tried to deal with this by rejecting all friend requests that didn’t have some kind of connection to Indian music. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help thinking that what I really wanted was a social site that would connect me with other Indian musicians, without making me wade through all these people I wasn’t interested in. And what about people who are interested in Indian music but don’t play music themselves? How can I tell them from the compulsive “friend” collectors who have no real interest in my music at all?
When there’s too much information, less is more, if you’ve got the right stuff. Vinay Mahadik and Bharath Madhusudan, two security research engineers who work for McAfee software, have created Uhooroo.com, which presents an ingenious solution to this problem.
Mahadik is an amateur singer of Indian music who had auditioned for a local Indian pop band and been turned down. He wanted to know why and to find out how he could improve. Although not a musician himself, Madhusudan came from a lineage of Karnatik maestros (his great-grandfather was a court musician in the Mysore palace), and he wanted to use his computer skills in the service of music. Together they decided to create a social site which was not only completely devoted to Indian musicians and fans, but also would remain genuinely social. The first goal was relatively easy to aachieve. If you make it clear that a site is devoted to Indian music, no one else has any real incentive to intrude. But Mahadik and Madhusudan used some ingenious software formats to encourage people to “meet” new musical friends and give feedback.
Every time you visit the Uhooroo.com homepage, even if you just click the “refresh” button, there are links which change their connections to different pages on the site. These include links to featured artists, featured tracks, and the tracks most recently uploaded. This means that each user has several opportunities to be encountered first and thus the center of attention. There are also several links to specific genres, such as classical instrumentals, devotional vocals, etc.
Every song has its own page, which has several ways of being rated. Each visitor can click on a series of one to five stars near the top of the page, and the total ratings received are listed in a graph. There are also places where visitors can write comments. There is even an automatic rating system, which measures how long each visitor listens to each track and how often they listen for more than a certain number of seconds.
Perhaps most remarkable is the fact that there is no way you can go directly to a particular track and rate it. The first track you visit is always governed to some degree by random chance. From there, you have to scroll through a virtual “cardfile” of photos linked to other artists in the genre you’ve selected. This means that one is likely to be diverted from one’s original choice by these new opportunities, which means more discoveries for the web surfer, and more exposure for the musicians.
Of course, if I’m really going to give you a feeling for what Uhooroo.com is like, I should say less about the architecture of the website and more about the content. But I’m not going to do that, because I’ve already discovered enough musicians on Uhooroo.com for several completely different articles. For now, I will only mention the 15-year-old boy who perfectly captures the microtonal ornaments of Karnatik music with the pitch wheel of a synthesizer, and the Indian-German band Punkh that artfully combines hip-hop, bhangra, heavy metal, and funk, and finally the Tamil Christian Rapper from Norway. If these descriptions intrigue you, why not go to the site yourself, and perhaps even upload music of your own? | 2019-04-24T06:21:55 | https://indiacurrents.com/a-space-for-indian-music/ |

On this week's Insider Podcast, we talk to Simon Delaney about his role in the upcoming horror sequel, The Conjuring 2.
A familiar face to Irish audiences, Delaney's become a household name thanks to starring turns in Bachelor's Walk, Zonad and for, uh, hosting the IFTAs. Less said on that, the better. We spoke to Simon about working on the set of a major studio film, working with fellow Irish passport holder Maria Doyle Kennedy and his own beliefs in the paranormal. | 2019-04-21T00:07:57 | https://entertainment.ie/cinema/movie-news/podcast-the-insider-talks-to-simon-delaney-about-the-conjuring-2-234615/ |
The main port of the Ionian League, and leader of the revolt against the Persians (500BC), Miletus lies on the north bank of the Meander and some of the site is under water for part of the year. The port, once guarded by stone lions, is still visible. The extensive baths of Faustina, wife of Marcus Aurelius, are said to be the inspiration for the Turkish hamam.
A Byzantine castle, above the large theatre, and a Seljuk caravansarai are records of the town’s continual use, as is the İlyas Bey Mosque (1403), constructed with coloured marble from the Roman buildings and with a beautifully carved mihrab. A superbly illustrated study has been published.

There are some in Fort Collins CO who believe that this is actually possible and that it would put our security at risk. However, there are those who think there's actually nothing to worry about and our 'fingerprints' are completely safe.
In a nutshell, with the help of this application, they can be confident that if obtaining a fingerprint pattern from a two-dimensional image has become already possible, it would still be hard to duplicate it. Thus, criminals in Fort Collins, CO won't be able to supplant an identity, because there will still be something missing-- the "liveness". This anti-spoofing confirmation technique, together with other ways, such as advanced algorithms used in comparing biometric patterns and by high security standards of the computer, would make the public feel at ease knowing that their credentials, are safe. Most of all, their identities would never be stolen that easily. | 2019-04-21T02:18:47 | http://blog.securitycamerasfortcollins.com/security-camera-technology/could-your-fingerprint-be-stolen-with-a-simple-photo/ |
Located in the very middle of the face, the nose is a unique body organ with its effect on both the physical functions such as breathing, body climatization, smelling, and the appearance such as facial proportion, expression, and beauty. Also, the structure of the nose is not like other organs. Just like the ears, the nose is also made out of cartilage and a small nasal bone and muscles.
Apart from the cosmetic needs, the nose may need medical operations due to breathing problems. So, it is no surprise that rhinoplasty is considered as the first and the earliest form of plastic surgery. The method, though primitive, can be seen in Ancient Egyptian medical texts written on Papyrus.
It is also one of the most popular plastic surgeries: In 2017, ASPS report indicates that 210,924 rhinoplasty operations are done throughout the USA only. Now, let’s see the conditions that rhinoplasty can help with.
What type of corrections made with rhinoplasty?
–Congenital asymmetry: Without any outer cause, the nose can be asymmetrical after the birth or during adolescence. An asymmetrical nose will create an asymmetrical face in most cases. It may affect an individual’s body image and self-confidence. In such cases, rhinoplasty can solve the problem permanently.
–Respiratory (Breathing) problems: The inner and outer shape and structure of the nose may cause respiratory problems that can affect the quality of certain functions such as; sleeping, smelling, running etc. Septoplasty (usually along with rhinoplasty) is the best option for this kind of problems.
–Reshaping after an accident: As a gentle body organ, the nose is very sensitive and vulnerable when accidents are considered. However, thanks to rhinoplasty, the former (or even better) reshaping is always possible.
After defining the need for a nose job, what is the next step?
Rhinoplasty in Turkey is a very popular choice for many international patients. You can choose the one you want among the hundreds of providers in Turkey. However, let us emphasize that for the safest treatment and service, ask the provider if they are accredited by the Turkish Ministry of Health or not. To read about the new regulations in detail, you can read our article here.
If you are planning to have rhinoplasty in Turkey with MCAN Health, the case managers will get the necessary information with a medical history form, demand the photographs of your nose in different perspectives, and your expectations for the reshaping. All the information, then, is sent to the surgeon and you will get an initial idea and plan for your rhinoplasty operation and the operation date is scheduled.
After you decide your provider and the surgeon, the face-to-face consultation part begins. The first and the most crucial point, in such consultations, is communication. You should not fix your mind to one single nose model and demand it no matter what. The nose you want may not be suitable for your face or your nose itself may not be suitable for such reshaping. So, you need to be clear about your ideals about your nose and come up with a plan with your surgeon for the optimal result.
Then the surgeon will begin a physical examination before the operation. A detailed blood test and a close inspection of the nose (both outer and inner) are necessary for a safe and well-planned operation. Considering all the information taken by the surgeon, now you will have the precise idea of the best possible nose that is suitable to your face.
Time for the rhinoplasty operation!
Standard rhinoplasty: This method is mostly used for cosmetic purposes, the nostrils, bridge and the nasal tip can be reshaped with the method.
Septorhinoplasty: “Septo” refers to septum, the part of the nose which can become problematic due to a deviation. Deviation causes breathing problems and can be fixed with a surgery. Septorhinoplasty covers both the cosmetic and medical corrections for a functional and beautiful nose.
Rhino-tip: This method does not intervene with the bridge, but the nostrils and nasal tip for reshaping.
Under general anesthesia, the surgery generally takes up to 3 hours with one day of hospital stay. Rhinoplasty can be performed with an open or closed technique which determines either the incision will be done inside or outside the nose. The surgeon will inform you about all the details of your surgery and suggest the ideal method.
Rhinoplasty operation is done, what now for the aftercare?
The first month after the surgery is the most crucial one.
Do not forget that surgery fills the first %50 of your operation, the other %50 is all about the aftercare.
Mainly, in the first month, you need to avoid any kind of impact on your nose as it is recovering and reshaping day by day. You should also keep it as clean as possible and not wear glasses for the first year as much as you can. Sneezing is also another factor that should be controlled as much as possible. For more, please read the aftercare instructions for rhinoplasty.
Although you may have an idea about your new nose just after the plasters and cast are removed, it will be swollen with edema, the excess fluid trapped inside the tissues of your nose. So, you may need to wait for 1 full year to have the final shaping. However, %90 of the edema will be gone in 2 months and nearly %98 in 6 months, but you should note that each body has its own unique reactions for some it may take really short while some it may take longer. After 1 year, you will be able to enjoy your new nose without any extra aftercare.
-Follow the aftercare instructions to get the best results. | 2019-04-19T19:17:33 | https://www.mcanhealth.com/guide-to-rhinoplasty-in-turkey/ |

Editor’s note: Ashley Johnson is now the media contact for the Tent City Collective. She started the article prior to accepting the role.
When I moved to Seattle this past summer to start my journey in the Communication Leadership program, I was excited to explore the Emerald City and discover all of its hidden gems. After some doing typical touristy things (thanks Buzzfeed!), I asked a few friends and coworkers for a some “local” suggestions. Instead of recommending fun, trendy, night spots, many chose to offer warnings — they told me to stay safe and avoid “the homeless,” especially those living in tent cities.

I’m from a small suburb in the mid-Atlantic states, and the concept of “tent cities” was unfamiliar and foreign. Even though I had spent years advocating for impoverished communities back East, I was not familiar this term used to describe a subset of the population experiencing homelessness. So, I did what any curious millennial would do; searched “tent cities Seattle” on Google and started researching the topic.
One search result detailed Ballard residents‘ adverse reaction to a temporary housing encampment to their neighborhood. It reinforced the notion that there is a disconnect between the stable housing community and those living in man-made transitional camps. So when Comm Lead Associate Director Anita V. Crofts challenged Cohort 15 to find a novel and useful solution to a communication challenge in our community, I jumped at the idea of using communication techniques to address the widespread stigma towards homeless people living in housing encampments.
But, how does one find a way of destigmatizing homelessness and tent cities that has not already been attempted?
While there are dozens of organizations in Seattle that advocate for homelessness through creative storytelling — not to mention many of media outlets covering the issue from a variety of angles — there are few organizations and people who have undertaken the challenge of advocating on behalf of entire communities suffering from the loss of stable housing.
Real Change News is based in Seattle and covers homelessness and social justice issues in the city.
Burkhalter has written about temporary homeless encampments in King County, and noted the importance of interviewing the members of the population experiencing homelessness. It’s one way to accurately represent the many identities and stories that comprise the community. In advocacy, it is important to have a wide set of terms that describe the issue at hand. Without accurate and culturally representative terminology, stories become homogeneous and repetitive.

In my research to better understand the multifaceted landscape of homelessness in Seattle, I met a group known as The Tent City Collective (TCC). I was struck by their community-focused approach to homelessness. TCC is a team of University of Washington students, alumni, Tent City 3 residents (TC3), and community members who work together to involve the university in ongoing conversations about homelessness. The group ultimately hopes to bring TC3, which is currently located just north of UW at University Congregational United Church of Christ, to campus. Group members believe conversations concerning people experiencing homelessness must include homeless people themselves.
“If we are working with a stigmatized group and are not experiencing the same oppressions as their community members, there are many, many nuances about their lives that we will be ignorant to,” said lead organizer Hana Alicic.
By including the TC3 community members in their advocacy efforts, the TCC advocates for temporary housing encampments on multiple fronts. They hope UW community stakeholders will build relationships TC3 residents and learn how the stigmatization of people experiencing homelessness results in systematic discrimination against people unable to find stable housing.

Everyone living in Seattle, unsheltered and sheltered alike, is a Seattleite.
Both approaches to the destigmatization of homelessness centered around one common train of thought: creating empathy for one’s neighbor. Recognizing that people fear and stigmatize what they do not understand, Real Change News and Tent City Collective challenge the societal consequences of stigmatization of homelessness through representative storytelling to bridge a communication gap within Seattle.
Because at the end of the day, everyone living in Seattle, unsheltered and sheltered alike, is a Seattleite.

This report has been written Friday, 15th of January, 2pm.
The situation in Haiti seems to worsen more and more as time goes by. Whilst writing this I am listening to one of the very few national radio stations that are still working, Radio “Signal FM”. This station has cancelled its whole programme in order to give a full-time coverage on the post-earthquake events around Port-au-Prince. As information sources remain very scarce at this stage, it is difficult for the local journalists to give a fully elaborated picture of the recent situation. After having consulted various international media this morning, I got the impression that same applies for them.
At Signal FM various politician remaining in the capital are giving statements on the current developments in Port-au-Prince. They all seem very worried on how aid and relief mesasures may go on there. In between the interviews, several citizen are permitted to issue calls for help, considering specific locations where people are still missed and/or give signs that they are alive under huge bunches of stones and such. I am very concerned about the fact that they might be dead when rescue teams finally will arrive. Up to now, the greater international organisations, such as UN, MSF, CARE and other are not able to draw a precise picture of their working ground. Reports state that at least 50000 people have died, 300000 had lost their homes and about 10% of the capital had been totally destroyed. In my view these a rather conservative estimations, driven by the interest not to cause further panic and influenced by the fact that the real impact of this catastrophy can still not be enumerated. This noon I spoke to the regional director of FAES, the parastatal development institution I was considered to work with (before the quake happened) in collaboration with the German Development Service DED. He had gone to the capital together with almost all the FAES staff, as they all have their families there.
He was lucky to have found his family without any victims and has brought them to Hinche this morning. During our conversation he could give my some further eyewitness information. Amongst other things he mentioned that official numbers (of victims, wounded etc.) might be absolutely underestimated. He had a lot of difficulties to reach his relatives. I took almost two days due to blocked roads all over the city, huge crowds on the streets desperately looking for water, food, technical equipment to rescue others and medical equipment to care about wounded and sick people. He mentioned that there were no means to get food, water and people were using the streets as toilets. An immense humanitarian emergency will rise due to diseases being able to grow on this fertile ground. Considering the security in the city, he was very worried about possible riots. As I mentioned earlier there are already lots of rumours, in the radio as well people were telling about armed gangs, partly coming from the famous shantytowns Cite Soleil and Bel Air, profiting from an environment where absolutely no authority is in function to care about public life and security. This coincides with a situation in which the presidential palace collapsed as well as the juridical centre of the country. Further all ministries but that of culture are destroyed. Several ministers, senators, deputies and other government staff are among the victims, President Rene Preval and Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive have survived but seem not capable to cope with the tasks they are confronted with. The Headquarters of MINUSTAH, the 11000 people UN mission to stabilize Haiti has collapsed and became a grave for alomost the whole leading panel, including the mission’s head Hedi Annabi. Major prisons in town were destroyed by the earthquake, criminals were able to get out and are trolling around in Port-au-Prince now.
As we do not have lots of fuel and gasoline here, in Port-au-Prince there seem nothing to be left at all. Electricity network is out of function since about 72 hours and out of the major telecommunication companies only one is working in the capital, another one from time to time (here in Hinche the lack of communication is even higher). The international airport in the capital is used as a substitute headquarters for governmental and international aid operations. At least it remains working as an airport, too: The first relief airplanes could land with the help of US soldiers (as the tower was seriously damaged) and apparently there had been some evacuation of expatriates.
Just sum it up in a few words, the heart of the country simply stopped to beat. | 2019-04-18T21:26:35 | https://suluhu.org/2010/01/16/update/ |

Our offsite team of partners and developers in Bandung are a capable bunch. Over the last 3 years, we have worked together to deliver more than 15 technological innovations and projects. These range from big tech brands such as ASUS, to those for high-growth startups, such as Temploy.
This past February, my CTO and I set off to the prime tech-city of Indonesia for a quick catch up with them. But this time, with an extra motive - we were meeting with Indonesian accelerator Pedals, which we’re collaborating with as their regional marketing and branding partner.
While there are many talents who harness the right aptitude and attitude in what they do, the severe lack of work opportunities with senior developers results in them being unable to really excel and reach their full potential. If overseas companies planning to enter the market can provide the right mix of talent development and retention strategy, they will definitely recruit quality developers here.
The developers display a high knowledge of the Agile methodology and SCRUM framework, allowing quick iterative product development.
PHP is the most commonly known and used programming language in Bandung. This is particularly a plus since PHP is installed in almost every web server in the world; the two top CMS-es (content management systems) in the world, Joomla and Wordpress, are built on PHP too! This is a strong point that makes Bandung an attractive base for website development.
There is a culture of remote work among developers, relying on trendy project management and ticketing softwares such as Jira, Trello and Asana, most of which we’re very familiar and comfortable with as well.
One thing to note, however, is the language barrier. As most developers may not be able to communicate in English, this could make Bandung significantly less attractive than Jakarta for software outsourcing work. That said, there is also an increase in English-speaking project managers (freelancers) who can assist in translate and manage freelancing developers. The language barrier still sets a gap between the pace of development between Bandung and Jakarta, with Bandung trailing behind.
Compared to developers from first tier cities such as Jakarta, Bandung developers are drawing about 20% lesser wage. As shared by Tony, co-founder of Roketin, the demand for developers has increased in Bandung, owing to ‘the exponential growth of startups in Jakarta’. “Companies like to hire developers from Bandung as they tend to cost much lower than if the hire was made in Jakarta,” he said.
On a slightly lighter (and cooler) note, the average temperature in Bandung is 23 degrees Celsius, which makes a much more pleasant environment for the team to keep focused at work (as opposed to the sweltering humidity in Singapore).
The great weather also makes for an enjoyable team lunch at one of the many trendy cafes, particularly in the Braga area! You can also find some great steak in Bandung – be sure not to miss out on SAKA which is located right opposite the Rumah Mode Factory Outlet, a popular shopping destination for tourists. Quite a combination!
Training our pre-sales team in Bandung.
akïn has been working with many programming freelancers across the world since 2012, particularly when incumbent projects require skillsets that the core team may not possess. Like every other person or company who tries to ‘outsource’ their development, this task has proven to be a steep hill to conquer. Well, thankfully, till we met our preferred developers in Bandung 3 years ago.
Many people underestimate the management of an off-site team, especially for a team of developers. While technological departments are generally considered back-office teams, it is certainly not the case for any high-growth tech startup, especially when iterative improvements happen every single day. At akïn , our Singapore team personally manages all the developers and projects to ensure a high level of quality control.
Arvin is the person responsible for business development at AKÏN. As the lead consultant, he champions brand storytelling, regional inbound marketing strategies and product innovation. His entrepreneurial goal is to continually nurture partnerships with like-minded partners and individuals, in order to create and enable a dynamic eco-system in Asia; at present, he spearheads regional offices in Indonesia and Hong Kong.
Aside from his role at AKÏN, Arvin is also an advisor to disruptive biometic start-up GTRIIP, a certified associate of Emergenetics®, an Executive Committee Member of SAFRA Punggol and Singapore Computing Society Youth Council, and the founder of Quartz Initiative (QZI), a social enterprise based in Singapore that aims to redefine social change by inspiring and enabling tomorrow's leaders.
Arvin graduated from the National University of Singapore with a degree in Social Sciences (Economics). When he’s not conducting workshops on entrepreneurship, leadership and lean methodology in his free time, the avid traveller would be satiating his desire to explore the world. To date, he has journeyed through 90 cities – and counting. | 2019-04-23T04:35:46 | https://blog.helloakin.com/8-observations-of-indonesias-tech-city-bandung |
My name is Mark Rollins, and I am a writer. I am a writer because I cannot not write, plain and simple, and I don’t care that this is a double negative. Something is always going on in my head, and I just can’t ever let a good idea die.
As you can see, I created this blog years ago. In addition to my love of writing, I also really like technology. Perhaps I just enjoy seeing the wonders of tech in speculative fiction like Star Wars and Star Trek. I have a basic understanding of how most of it works, but a lot is a mystery to me.
I have spent almost the last ten years writing about end-user consumer electronics. I attend CES every year, and I am constantly reading tech blogs daily just so I know what the latest is out there. Every day, I am convinced that we are living in an age that is becoming the futures shown to us in speculative fiction.
If you are a company who has technology, or want to sell something new, then you should contact me first. Not only will I give you coverage on my blog, and share it on my social networks, but I want to give you advice.
Everybody needs and extra set of eyes. The greatest problem of any person is that they are stuck as that person. It takes something outside of us in order to make us see that we are not as smart as we think we are. I want to be that person to you. While you may wonder why you do not have success with “this”, it is because perhaps you should be dong “that”. I want to show you what “that” is.
When I look at things, I like to see the big picture. Whenever I see a product, I don’t look at just what it can do, I see the culture around it. We were all taken aback by the power of the smartphone revolution and the power of social media, but this is only the beginning. There is so much more that can be done, and it often starts with something that is so simple.
Hire me and let me do the research to see if what you have is really something good. Then let me write about it. I can give you web content, instructions, brochures, or anything that you want.
In short, I am the mind that you want for the project at hand. Please contact me at freelancermark@yahoo.com and let’s talk.
Also, if you need a website content writer or web text development services, consider Ghostwriters Central. | 2019-04-19T17:13:11 | https://thegeekchurch.com/consultant-work/ |
Retail used to be a boring industry filled by low-wage workers, cheap products, and huge advertising budgets. Now, thanks to the recent advent of the World Wide Web, which people can access from their personal home computer machines, the world of retail is an exciting on-line industry filled by cost-effective robots, cheaper products, and extremely low advertising budgets. This means, of course, that retailers have to think of innovative ways to reach their customers. One way they do this is by working with prominent social media companies like myself.
Therefore, I am happy to announce a partnership with one of the world’s leading New York-based online glasses retailers, Warby Parker. While this may look like a normal article, Warby Parker is not paying for it and did not ask me to write it. Therefore, this “native ad” is pretty lame. In fact, I think I’ll just share the letter I wrote to them recently. Those of you who are interested in business and efreakonomics may find it an enlightening glimpse into how modern-day advertising doesn’t work. Note: the letter has been lightly edited for length and blackmail.
I recently purchased a pair of “Gilbert” tortoise-shell glasses from your online store. I cannot express how fully satisfied I am with their style, quality, and comfort. I could express this if I had a little more money. I am so pleased! that I propose writing flattering articles about your company in return for a substantial fee.
First, let me describe the sheer joy of wearing these glasses, but in modest terms that I will change once your payment has cleared. They sit lightly yet snugly on the bridge of my nose, and unlike glasses I’ve sometimes purchased from the hellholes known as optometrists’ offices, they remain comfortable and erotically satisfying all day long. They are sturdy yet lightweight; hardy yet not dense; expensive-looking but actually pretty cheap (I promise to hire someone to write some of my advertising copy).
Furthermore, I’ve never owned a pair of such stylish glasses—retro yet futuristic yet modernishy (I’ve never gotten paid for anything I’ve written before, but I have friends who majored in English). I’ve received so many compliments on how hip and flattering they are that I can no longer keep quiet about your several product categories such as glasses and sunglasses (how many product categories do you have?) and your popular items like the “Molo” and the “Beaches” (what are some of your product names?). I’m telling everyone I know to check out your website by going to my own website and clicking a link to your website, which I can do for a large additional fee.
What really won me over, however, was the ease and simplicity of buying through your online store. Being able to upload a picture of me that shows a picture of the glasses on my face—interesting! (optional text:) genius! I was then so interested (optional text:) delighted to receive them for a free at-home try-on! It made selecting the “Gilbert” incredibly interesting (optional text:) easy. Your customer service was also interesting (optional: impeccable)—you were so helpful when I had to return the first pair for a faulty prescription! I promise to remove that last bit.
So thank you again for the glasses and the opportunity to advertise through my personal website that you should never refer to as a “blog.”. When my eyes degenerate further and it’s time for a new prescription, I’ll be sure to return to your webstore and hike the zoom to 150%, because your font is too small and not everyone is 25 with great eyesight anymore. | 2019-04-22T00:14:17 | https://daltonsmagazine.com/2017/02/11/warby-parkers-business-model-is-transforming-retail-not-paying-this-website/ |

Despite being a rookie, Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey has already gained enough experience and insight to know there’s a difference between marking Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and Cleveland Browns wideout Josh Gordon.
Elite might seem a bit of stretch for a player who has played in only two games since being reinstated after an NFL-imposed suspension that began after Week 16 of the 2014 season. After all, Gordon is 92 receptions, 1,355 yards and eight touchdowns behind Brown, a five-time Pro Bowl selection this season.
Despite missing two straight practices because of an injured right ankle, Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace said Thursday he would practice Friday and play in Sunday’s game at the Cleveland Browns.
But Gordon, 6 feet 3, 225 pounds, is a unique blend of speed and power. After catching four passes for 85 yards in his 2017 debut against the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 3, he had three receptions for 69 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown with 4:45 left in the first quarter, in a 27-21 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. It was Gordon’s first trip to the end zone since Dec. 15, 2013, a span of 1,456 days.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh called Gordon “a big-play threat, a big, rangy receiver that can go up and make plays on the ball.” But Harbaugh stopped short of declaring that the defense would bracket Gordon as some fans wished the unit would have done against Brown, who gained a season-high 213 yards on 11 receptions Sunday.
How long Gordon, 26, can avoid being suspended again by the league for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy remains to be seen. But free safety Eric Weddle said he and several teammates are rooting for Gordon.
Mornhinweg not worried about Flacco-Maclin connection: One day after wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and quarterback Joe Flacco denied the notion of a lack of chemistry between them, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said he is not worried about Maclin’s lack of production, which includes 12 catches on 29 targets for 108 yards and zero touchdowns in his past four starts.
Ronnie Stanley has never faced Cleveland Browns rookie defensive end Myles Garrett. But after studying Garrett ahead of Sunday’s AFC North showdown, the Ravens’ starting left tackle has been impressed by the No. 1 overall pick in April’s NFL draft. | 2019-04-20T02:44:37 | https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bs-sp-ravens-to-get-look-at-browns-josh-gordon-20171214-story.html |
After several months of solitude and introspection I’ve come to the realisation that nature doesn’t make mistakes. Have you ever seen a badly designed tree or a misshapen cloud? Everything is unfolding exactly as it should and we’re here to witness the process. It only gets complicated when you try to explain it with words. Your nervous system has worked without instruction since the day you were born, yet the mere topic of a neuron can fill entire books without beginning to scratch the surface. Your brain is deciphering each word to formulate this sentence without you consciously doing so. So take a second, let go of those distracting thoughts and observe the infinite beauty of the present moment.
Since childhood I’ve been fascinated by Greek mythology. Homer’s Odyssey, The Twelve Labours of Heracles, the tragic tale of Sisyphus, all left an impression on my young mind. Why do some stories survive for centuries while others are forgotten in an instant? I’m not a religious guy but I do notice where religious ideas overlap. Certain books and religious texts seem to carry on because the lessons and virtues displayed within them are timeless. Rather than taking a story literally I look for the lesson and meaning behind it which has led me to Joseph Campbell and his work on the Hero’s Journey.
In simple terms this means that every person is a hero in their own story. It takes courage and bravery to overcome fear that manifests over time. Majority of people never answer their call to adventure. It is too difficult, too daunting, and too uncomfortable. The future hero refuses to trust his intuition and tries to reason with every decision. “Have I taken enough data into consideration? How do I plan for events beyond my control?” When the number of variables is infinite you have to trust the complex machinery of nature and take a leap of faith.
You will never be at peace with yourself if you do not answer the call to adventure. In time you will build up resentment with the knowledge that you missed an opportunity to pursue a higher purpose. Life will carry on and new problems will arise no matter how much you try to distance or insulate yourself from trouble. The only difference will be whether you see yourself as a victim of circumstances or a hero that’s prepared for the unexpected trials of life.
This narrative can be applied to many areas of life such as careers or relationships. Joseph Campbell understood that to begin on the path of the hero’s journey one must follow their heart. Their intuition. Choosing a path that offers the biggest opportunity for growth and self discovery. The uncertainty of the journey preys on your insecurities, fears and obligations. By slaying these metaphorical dragons one becomes the hero and collects the treasure of wisdom. Wisdom that can be used as a building block for the next journey as well as serving others who may still be in hell.
Heroes are all around us. Just think about some of your favourite films or books or even people you look up to. We subconsciously choose to label them as such because they display virtues that we value or lack ourselves. A virtue can be anything from strength to courage to empathy. The fun starts in identifying yours and not judging others for what they consider important. Myths are beneficial in this regard because they tell us through stories and centuries of experience what to expect, what patterns keep repeating.
Imagine this process as a clock. Everyone is at a different stage of their journey but each stage follows a predictable pattern. There’s the call to adventure, when an opportunity suddenly presents itself. After accepting the opportunity a magical mentor will arrive. Either as an inner mentor or an outer one, someone who will guide the hero, offer protection and reassurance, and share wisdom intended to help the hero navigate the challenging journey ahead.
Consciously crossing the threshold into the unknown marks the hero’s willingness to undergo metamorphosis. This stage contains an element of mysticism as synchronicities tend to pop up and new people enter the fray. At this stage the honeymoon period is over and the hero’s initiation has begun. The new people you encounter may be allies or enemies who hinder your progress but yet again intuition will guide you through.
One develops their intuition by relying on it while minimising outside noise and cultivating an information diet. In the age of social media and instant gratification it’s easy to get distracted by the onslaught of information constantly battling for our attention. Avoid overstimulating your mind with information and opinions that didn’t develop from your own critical thinking.
After overcoming the obstacles and challenges posed by this new reality the hero comes to the point of no return. The point where they risk losing it all. Surviving this trial is a right of passage, one that shapes the hero into a wiser, more enlightened person. The journey and experience is the real treasure of this process but don’t go celebrating just yet. It’s tempting to hoard this knowledge but a real hero returns ‘home’ to share the fruits of his labour. Something that makes people stand up and say “you know, there may be something to this”. | 2019-04-22T16:34:00 | https://www.thestyledivision.com/heros-journey-paris-france |
If you're fortunate enough to get an invite, this will be one of the most memorable rounds of golf you'll ever play. CCF is quiet easily the most unique and interesting course in the State. There has been a war on trees at the club for years. What's left is a classic links course hidden on one of the most exclusive plots of shoreline in all of Connecticut. There isn't a boring hole on the course. The front 9 takes you out around the exterior of the property while the back 9 takes you inland. Views of the long island sound from just about every tee shot. I think the three-hole stretch of 4, 5 and 6 is as good as any three-hole stretch anywhere. The sixth hole par 4 could be the best golf hole in the state: it demands an accurate drive to a blind landing zone before an even more challenging approach with a mid iron into a hugely sloping left to right (towards the water) green.
Condition of the course is always perfect. Hard to beat a day at CCF.
This is easily the best course in the state of Connecticut. An old style course that was returned to its roots several years back when over 100 trees were removed. A short course that can play long depending on the wind. Unfortunately not everyone can enjoy this wonderful piece of real estate - members old.
I grew up caddying at this course and have the fortunate invitation once a year to return to play. | 2019-04-25T11:50:48 | https://www.golfadvisor.com/courses/4348-country-club-of-fairfield |

Getting motivated is one of the hardest things in the world for some people. It seems that the larger a task is – and the more you need to do it – the less you want to actually do it. The next time you have a big task ahead of you, keep the following guide on how to get and stay motivated in mind.
If you want to be motivated then you need a target. It’s almost impossible to motivate yourself to complete vague and undefined goals as they are simply not feasible. Defining your goals and then breaking them into even smaller goals enables you to handle a large task in manageable sized chunks. The small goals should still have some meaning for you, and they have to be something you can actually do, or you’ll still find it challenging to stay motivated.
If you can’t muster up the motivation to get into medical school for example, then keep that in mind as an overall goal. Keep yourself motivated by breaking your large goals down into smaller objectives and tasks. An objective is an action you take, while tasks are small and specific things to be done.
With an end goal of getting into medical school, the objectives would be to pass the MCAT and put together a shortlist of schools you can apply to.
“Passing the MCAT” can be broken down even more; research prep-books on the test, look up how much it costs, and find locations where you can take it. One task to be performed when putting together a shortlist of schools is to decide on different criteria to define the importance of a school – such as the location, costs or prestige.
Work out which goals are the most important for you. Which is the goal that motivates you most? Which one do you really want to do? Think realistically about the goal and assess how attainable it really is given how much time, money, and other resources you have to dedicate to it. Sometimes goals can build on each other, so these are important considerations to make. Focusing on one or two goals helps to keep the feeling of being overwhelmed at bay. Finding yourself overwhelmed is the fastest way to kill your motivation. If you do feel overwhelmed, then it makes you tempted to give up on your goals because it contributes to procrastination.
Sometimes you have to achieve one goal to be able to achieve another. Because you need to pass the MCAT to attend medical school, you need to study for the MCAT and pass it before you can apply for medical school.
Start with an attainable goal that will give you the early success you need to fuel your motivation moving forward.
After organizing goals and ranking them by importance, decide the first few most-important goals. Put together a to-do list of objectives or daily tasks you can do to stay on top of your goals, no matter how long it takes. To go back to our example of medical school, this could be to study a chapter of an MCAT prep book every day.
Avoid trying to pursue too many objectives at the same time. This puts your goals into conflict as they compete for your resources and time. If you have too much you want to do, it leaves you feeling unmotivated and kills your productivity.
Break objectives down into smaller, more attainable, tasks. Tasks are small and specific things to help you achieve the overall objective. One such task could be to spend an hour every day studying the MCAT book, or studying 10 pages of the prep book a day.
Keep a list of daily tasks and cross through the ones you manage to achieve. This will help you stay motivated as you move forward, as it serves as a reminder that you have been productive. It also feels good. Keep repeating the process until you master the objective, and then find another objective to work on instead.
Cross off studying your MCAT book when you do it each day, and then move on to the next chapter after finishing your current one.
If you think negatively, it makes goals seem less achievable. It makes even the smallest task feel monumental. Taking a positive approach to the same goal makes it seem manageable by comparison. Studies have shown that when people are sad they literally underestimate the steepness of a hill when compared to people in neutral or happier states.
If you do start to think negative thoughts, you can try to stop them by thinking about something else, or giving the negative thought a positive light. If you don’t have the motivation to write and are thinking that you’ll never finish the book you’re writing, then find a way to see it more positively. Rather than feeling bad because you’ve only written four chapters, feel good that you’ve finished four and you’re well on your way to finishing the whole thing.
Try smiling when you don’t feel like smiling. Research has suggested that there is a connection between the facial muscles and how you feel. It’s known as the facial feedback hypothesis and, basically, it means that smiling makes us happy; just as we smile when we are happy.
Listen to some positive music. This puts you in a better mindset and makes it easier for you to feel good.
If you are having trouble staying motivated right now, but you have succeeded with goals in the past, then take some time to feel proud about those past accomplishments. You have no doubt succeeded at something in life, even if you don’t have any success in the past with your current goals. It can be something as simple as being part of a charity. Be proud of the things you did and what they enabled. If you worked in a soup kitchen or example, then washing the dishes meant that more people there were able to eat. If you weren’t there, then less people would have been able to enjoy their meals on a clean plate.
Stay passionate about your goals. This will fuel your motivation and keep you energized to stay on target. Being passionate about the goal will also help you stick with it during the tough times that leave you feeling like you should give up.
If you struggle with motivation and are beginning to lose your passion thengive yourself a reminder of why you’re keeping yourself motivated and why it is important to you. Remind yourself about why you were passionate about your goals in the first place. What are the positive outcomes of achieving your dream? What will it mean for you and those around you?
Perhaps you decided on attending medical school because you wanted the financial independence that comes with being a doctor, or you wanted to help people in need. Think about what it would mean for you to achieve your goal and become a lawyer, and let the vision re-ignite the fires of passion you once held.
If you aren’t too passionate about the goal because there are other reasons you are doing it – such as losing weight to be healthier and thinner – that you aren’t passionate about, it’s best to keep this end goal in mind. Think about what being healthy really means. It means you feel better, will probably live longer, and have an achievement you can be proud of.
You need to be engaged in learning, studying, and actually achieving your goals rather than having a focus on external things; such as how people are going to think and feel about when you achieve your goals.
This is known as intrinsic motivation and it’s the best way to get – and stay – motivated. Intrinsic motivation isn’t dependent on other people. You can use your desires and your mind to light a motivational fire to see you through any goal, no matter how tough.
To stay intrinsically motivated towards completing a goal, think about how your goal interests you. Think about the ways the goal mentally stimulates you, and about your own sense of control over the goal. If the goal you have set is truly attainable, then they should always feel like you can grasp them. All of this comes together to create intrinsic motivation.
Don’t let yourself worry about failing. Thinking about failure can make you feel like your lack for success never goes away. It makes you think less of yourself, and convinces you that other people think less of you too. This isn’t the case. Mistakes are there to be learned from. Embrace them.
Sometimes it can take several failed attempts to achieve one success. It’s entirely possible you won’t reach your goal even after trying fifty times. Keep in mind that failure is sometimes one of the steps toward success, and let that idea motivate you to keep trying. Keep your motivation knowing that the more you try the more likely you are to succeed. You can only fail if you don’t even try.
Consider what the worst-case scenario would be if you didn’t reach your goals. Realistically it likely won’t be that bad. What is that fear holding you back? People will often overestimate how badly failing will make them feel. Remember that the next time you find yourself struggling to stay motivated because you are afraid of not succeeding. It will not be as bad – nor will it feel as bad – as you think it will.
When you struggle to keep yourself motivated, just remember the times in the past where you stayed on track and accomplished your goals. Remember what happened after you achieved your goal, and how you felt about your success.
If you were struggling to motivate yourself to exercise, for example, then think back to one of the times you pushed yourself through a workout and felt great about it. Think back to how it felt to be doing the workout, and the way you thought about yourself when it was all done. Think about how proud you were to have pushed yourself so hard to reach the worthy goal of getting into shape.
If you aren’t feeling motivated about something, then the best thing it do is just start doing it. Sometimes things get built up in our minds and we can feel like they are much worse than they really are. This is a process known as affective forecasting, and people are terrible for doing it. Starting something will make you realise that – in reality – it wasn’t bad at all.
If you were having trouble motivating yourself to get a book written, then just power up your word processor, grab your keyboard, and get to typing. Tell yourself you’re going to keep typing for five minutes, and you’ll stop if you aren’t motivated to continue after that. You could find that tricking yourself into actually starting something gives you the motivation to keep going. By the time five minutes are up, you’ll have stopped watching the clock and will have become immersed in your writing.
One of the major barriers to staying motivated is finding yourself distracted by other things that seem a lot more interesting than what you are working on. Keep yourself motivated by getting rid of distractions, so that you can’t even engage them in the first place. If there’s nothing around that could possibly distract you, then you aren’t going to be distracted.
If you’re having trouble staying motivated to get through your homework because you’re distracted by your phone because you’re browsing the web or messaging your friends, then just turn the phone off.
After turning your phone off, put it somewhere that it can’t be seen, such as in a drawer or in your bag. Take it a step further by making it harder to get to your phone; such as by putting it in your bag and then moving your bag out of reach.
After taking away your distraction, you’ll find that the things you could be doing instead of your homework aren’t that exciting after all. This can make it easier for you to find the motivation to finish your work and get back to your phone.
Some people find competition to be motivating. Think back and consider the cases you felt more motivated to reach a goal because you were in competition with someone who was also trying to reach it – or you decided to compete with yourself. If that sounds like you, then find a way to build some friendly competition. You don’t even need to let the person you are competing with know that you see them as competition. Just try to out do your chosen rival, and push yourself to the next level.
You can always count on others to give you the motivation you need, provided you build a support network for the job. Let your family and friends know what you are doing, what you want to achieve, and what struggles you are facing. Talking the situation out with them helps you to stay motivated. It also keeps those emotion-sapping negative thoughts away.
Surround yourself with positive and motivated people. Being near positive people allows their positivity and motivation to rub off on you, helping to keep you motivated at the same time.
Keep in mind that your body needs support itself. Your body will certainly let you know if you ignore its needs for too long. It leaves you feeling negative, draining you of any motivation you had. Eating healthy is an often-overlooked aspect of staying motivated. Get some lean meat, fruits, vegetables, and nuts into your diet.
Exercising and working out releases endorphins that leave you feeling good. Feeling good – especially about yourself – keeps your motivation levels boosted. Exercising also reduces stress and is able to combat depression. Stress and depression are two major factors leaving you fatigued and unmotivated. Listen to music that gets you pumped when you exercise. This gives you self motivation and pushes you to work harder.
Not getting enough sleep leaves you in a state of poor mental health. It causes fatigue, anxiety, and sadness; all of which drain you of your motivation to accomplish your goals.
If you aren’t sleeping properly, then ensure that your bedroom is as dark as possible when you go to bed. You also need to get rid of any sounds that could keep you awake. Try to create a sleeping routine and then stick to it each and every night. Track the amount of hours of sleep it takes for you to feel rested, and try to get that much sleep each night.
If you’re the kind of person who gets into bed around half ten, then read for the 30 minutes before trying to fall asleep. Work hard to stick to this schedule as much as you can. This trains your body for sleep. The more you do something, the more your body remembers it.
Negative thoughts ruin your performance. You need to have faith in yourself and believe that you can correct any mistakes the next time around.
Sometimes people find themselves creating a defeatist attitude without meaning to; sometimes without even realising it. They give up, telling themselves that something like their genetics or destiny means that there is no point in even trying. The only person that decides on your destiny is you, and genetics can only hold you back so much. It’s possible to reach your goals, no matter what.
There are going to be some people in your life that sap your motivation and don’t want you to succeed. They want you to stay on their level, rather than getting ahead of them. These are the people that try to control you as you go about your activities and try to reach your goals.
If you do not believe you are valuable, you are likely to quit your endeavours sooner rather than later. After all, why bother trying if you imagine you do not deserve success or suppose you will fail anyway? Boost self-belief and get rid of doubt about your abilities. Understand you have unique gifts to share. There is no one like you on the planet, so nobody else can life your life’s purpose.
Do not let myths about success hold you back. Often, people attribute other people’s achievements to natural talent, intelligence, or even genetics rather than good ole’ fashion hard work and determination. If you think success comes easy or naturally to everyone but you then you will never get ahead. Everyone has to work hard regardless of what talents they were born with, do not believe the info commercials or hype surrounding these false overnight success stories. If it sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is.
The journey to your dreams might not be easy, but it is possible! Instead of allowing challenges to zap away all of your enthusiasm and motivation, be ready to face them. Create rules to motivate you and keep you going strong. For instance, the rule “I will ignore naysayers” will stop you from feeling down if people are persistent on telling you that you will fail.
One day, you will look back on your journey to success and realize is was as important as reaching your goal. Sometimes the journey is just as important as the destination. Instead of imagining you must struggle to get what you want, know that you are already living the dream. The steps you take are part of your accomplishments. Appreciate them, celebrate every little joyful moment.
Rejoice as you reach each milestone. Treat yourself, dance, sing, go to a movie, get anyone who helped you to join in on the moment and have a little fun. It is impossible to be successful and stay motivated if you are not at least having a little fun along the way. Keep staying upbeat and your positive attitude will continue to fuel your motivation.
It is inevitable that you will make mistakes and encounter delays. Sometimes plans will fall through, and unexpected events will present challenge along the way. Accept you will face stumbling blocks, and learn from them. If you make mistakes, do not beat yourself up. Know each one pushes you closer to making plans watertight and becoming an expert at whatever you decide to do.
Remember you and you alone control your destiny. Yes there will be others that will try and hold you back, but you must keep the mind-set that nothing can stop you. Find a way to make it happen, do not give up no matter how tough it gets. Live by the motto that you will not take NO for an answer!
I hope this guide helps you to get and stay motivated and that it is able to help you achieve your goals. | 2019-04-20T00:44:47 | http://lifeguider.com/how-to-get-and-stay-motivated |

About Classification. Classification is a data mining function that assigns items in a collection to target categories or classes. The goal of classification is to accurately predict the target class for each case in the data.

Cee’s Black and White photo challenge this week is the back of things.
I had to hunt for a while, because I don’t typically take photos of the back of things. I settled on this because I thought there would be great contrast between the yellow flowers and the dark leaves. The sun lit these petals so well that there is stark contrast with them and everything, including the background. For those curious… this was the original.
I think I prefer the original… what about you?
When I feel like the black and white is missing something, I’ll also post the original version. I am glad, however, to hear that you enjoyed them both. Have a wonderful day and thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment.
Thanks… I’m glad you liked it.
I tend to be drawn to the colors, so though I have tried to embrace black and white photography a bit more, color always looks better to me. That being said, I’m glad you enjoyed the shots, before and after lol. Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. | 2019-04-18T20:37:56 | https://sunshinessnapshots.com/2017/09/21/back-of-things-yellow-dahlia/ |

Have you ever wondered where you belong? Or maybe just felt like no-one totally ‘gets’ you? Alternatively, perhaps you’ve experienced the unparalleled joy of being around like-minded people that you could just talk with for hours!
I’ve definitely experienced both but a few weeks ago I touched on the topic of the need to belong, as I have to admit that was one of the stranger feelings that came up for me since losing Scott.
I lost my life partner. I don’t have a house, a car or many belongings other than what fit into the backpack I carried around the world with me…. Where do I even start?!
Where do I belong as a 32 year old among my peers who have already, or currently are, starting their families?
What were we thinking planning our lives around freedom and flexibility instead of stability and responsibility?
I have an unbelievable support system in my friends, family and through this community and all of the decisions life we made were intentional. But there was still a part of me that truly felt like I woke up all alone one day in the middle of the desert miles from anything or anyone relatable – trying to figure out which direction to turn to get back towards some semblance of understanding. It was a level of emptiness I never could have imagined.
And that is why I am thankful that I made the decision a few months ago to approach this process by being endlessly curious. Scott was a huge proponent of asking why about everything and I think that has saved me during the times when I am suddenly blindsided by unexpected or unknown emotions.
What is the human desire to belong?
Why do we crave it?
Why is the worst punishment of all time solitary confinement (being alone)?
What is it about our biology, our psychology, that needs to belong – whether to a community, a belief system, an identity, etc.?
I started digging into the subject matter and found study after study reporting that a sense of belonging is a basic human need required to achieve general levels of health, happiness and survival.
One study concluded that as a general rule of thumb, if you belong to no groups but then decide to join one, you cut your risk of dying over the next year in half.
A Harvard study of nearly 3,000 senior citizens found that those who were consistently engaged in social activity outlived their reclusive peers by an average of 2.5 years.
A UCSF study of 3,000 nurses with breast cancer, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, found that those who went through cancer alone were four times more likely to die from their disease than those with 10 or more friends supporting their journey.
A Swedish study published in the European Heart Journal found that men with heart disease are much less likely to have heart attacks if they’re involved in a supportive community.
Some studies even showed that a close community had as big of an effect on health as quitting smoking and/or exercising regularly!
People who are connected to family, friends and community live longer and are far happier in their lives than those who do not.
Quality of relationships matters. You can be married but be lonely. So it’s not simply having a relationship, it’s making sure that those relationships are loving and satisfying. The study has shown that the people who were most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80. Alternatively, the people who were in unhappy relationships had much more physical pain than those who were not.
Good relationships don’t just protect our bodies, they protect our brains. The people who were in relationships where they felt like they could count on the people around them had sharper minds in their 80’s than those who did not.
Smack dab in the middle of those needs is belonging – just above meeting our basic needs such as food, sleep and a sense of security.
The desire to fulfill these needs will become stronger the longer they are denied. For example, the longer a person goes without food the more hungry they will become.
You will not move up the hierarchy without meeting the lower level needs first. The top of which is Self-Actualization, otherwise known as the realization of one’s full potential. Maslow describes the level as the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be.
I could continue to list study after study showing the importance of belonging but I think it is pretty clear that a strong community creates a longer, happier and more fulfilling life.
And according to Maslow, you’ll never actually be able to reach your full potential without having that community in your corner!
As much as I always knew that community was important (which is why it has always been such a huge focus at LYL), this research solidified it for me in a way that brought a whole new light and importance to the topic of surrounding yourself with the right people.
We’ve proven through our courses and our communities that the quickest way to do the things you think are impossible is to surround yourself with the people who make it possible.
Because the fastest way to achieve things beyond your wildest dreams is to hang around the people who are already doing them. And alternatively, the fastest way to kill your dreams is hang around the people who believe that you are limited and your dreams are crazy.
As many of you know, Scott had a pipe dream a few years ago of creating in-person communities. I think he was wise beyond his years that he had the foresight to see how much harm modern technology could have on our human connection.
With the help and support of members of LYL, he decided to start something that he had no idea how he would ever actually do – to build free live communities around the globe so people could have access to like-minded and uplifting people anywhere in the world.
And last month we had our 3rd Annual World Party, where we had live meet-ups on the same day (in the local time zone) hosted in over 110 cities and 60 countries around the world.
So, while there are many things that are new and different in what my day to day looks like, now that I have had the space to move through that unexpected feeling and questioning of ‘Where do I belong?’, I’ve come to see and realize that I do belong and I always have.
And we actually all belong, because we are all connected. It may not always appear that way on the surface, but when you look deeper there is no denying that it is our role as humans to support one another – for without that support, we would not survive.
I consider every single one of you reading this is my family and my community. We are a group of dreamers and doers that all believe in the same thing. That it doesn’t have to be one way – that if we leverage our own unique strengths, the world will be a better place.
So today I thank all of you for reminding me, for empowering the forward movement of this mission, for being living examples of why we are all here and for giving me the inspiration and motivation to show up.
And if you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong, we hope that through our free communities you, too, can find safe spaces all across the globe that support and encourage you to share your most important dreams. And that these communities will allow you to experience that sense of belonging so that you are supported in reaching your greatest potential.
P.P.S. Next month I will be joining Leah and Naz in Utah for a retreat all about Community, Collaboration and Connection. They tell me there are a few spots left if anyone is interested in joining us to connect and play! If so, email us so you can get your special LYL discount – $500 off, woot!
Find & do work you love and surround yourself with the people who make it possible.

For the launch of their new limited edition range of craft ales, Super 6, I was asked by Prescott Ales to design and implement a vibrant sub-brand.
Working with an illustrator I developed this range of vintage-yet-modern petrol pump designs and translated their key elements to clothing, posters, banners and beer mats. The vivid colour schemes are designed to match each individual ale as well as the time of year they are to be made available. #4 – #6 are yet to be released. | 2019-04-18T14:48:22 | https://www.samrickettsdesign.co.uk/prescott-ales-super-6/ |
A quick looks tells us that, yes, it has been an overall profitable strategy, but there is definitely a big different between the first 22 years and the last 9.
The period from January 1988 to January 2010 saw the index take off from 99.29 to 771.31. That's a +9.77% Compound Annual Return. Not bad. However, from January 2010 to January 2019 the index has gone nowhere. In fact it is slightly down from 771.31 to 713.49. That's a Compound Annual Return of -0.86%. And these last 9 years have taken the Compound Annual Return down to 6.57% for the whole 31-year period (1988-2019).
Now, you can use different Iron Condor variations. You know: different distances, entry rules, adjustment strategies and so on. But regardless, to me, the chart above is telling one undeniable truth: The environment of the last few years has not been ideal for the Iron Condor strategy. At least not on the SP500 Index. I suspect that due to the high correlations, and persistent historically low volatility of the last few years, the same thing would have happenned with the Dow Jones, The NASDAQ or the Russell.
Are Iron Condors dead? Did they permanently stop working?
Just when you are about to abandon a strategy, cycles of out-performance may be around the corner. CNDR may take more time to get out of this slump. But saying that a particular approach is permanently "dead" is usually a mistake. All strategies go through periods of draw-downs. It is inevitable. Sometimes, these periods last years and that's hard to swallow, but it is a lesson to always use different strategies and to not get married to only one. | 2019-04-18T15:23:17 | http://www.the-lazy-trader.com/2019/01/analysis-of-cboe-cndr-index-iron-an-iron-condors-benchmark.html |

Acquired: In Person 1991, 1992. TTM courtesy Houston Oilers 1993.
Outside of Warren Moon, Jeffires was probably my favorite player as we both shared the same birthday. I got his autograph the first time at training camp in San Antonio in 1991 where he autographed my Score 1990. We exchanged pleasantries and it turned out that he knew somebody who was standing next to me and had to go. I got him again in 1992 and mailed off an additional 2 cards in 1993, with a drawing I had done for him from his Pacific 91 card. Jeffires stood head and shoulders above the rest of the “Fab Four” and I felt on more than one occasion they should have been called “Jeffires and the Smurfs” playing with smallish receivers Drew Hill, Ernest Givins, Curtis Duncan, and Webster Slaughter. An emotional receiver who tried to motivate his teammates, Jeffires had a penchant for making sideline catches and ran patterns extremely well. I remember the game against the Chiefs when Haywood caught this pass and rolled off the back of a DB then ran 87 yards for a touchdown. It was on that day when they went on the road and played a team that they lost to 30-0 a year earlier, and socked them solidly in the mouth. I knew the Oilers had turned a corner at that exact moment.
Haywood Jeffires or ‘Jeffries’ as it is pronounced, but incorrectly spelled, was the number one rated receiver off the board in the 1987 draft to the Oilers out of NC State at 6′ 2, 200 and is considered a by product of the Jim Everett Trade. It would take Haywood time to work his way into the lineup, but once given a fair chance to flourish in the Red Gun and Run and Shoot, he’d go on to notch 60 or more catches in 6 straight seasons, cracking the 1,000 yd mark in 90 and 91 and grab 100 catches in 1991 and 90 1992, which led the AFC in all 3 seasons. He was a 3 time Pro bowler and 2 time AP but his contributions are largely dismissed because people feel he played in a gimmick offense. After diminishing statistics and playing time took their toll on his career, Jeffires would play one final season in 1995 for the New Orleans Saints.
Jeffires from what I’ve learned is now considered quite an elusive autograph to attain TTM. Unfortunately I only found this out after sending 4 more cards to him. At last glance in 2010, Jeffires is a consultant for the Bay Area Pearland Gamblers, a minor league team near Houston. | 2019-04-22T02:10:58 | http://lee.n8d.com/page/501/ |

"Detrending Daily Natural Gas Demand Data Using Domain Knowledge" by Ronald H. Brown, Yifan Li et al.
Natural gas Local Distribution Companies (LDCs) need to estimate their customers’ gas demand accurately. A significant factor in the process of forecasting gas demand is historical data. This article presents a method of detrending historical data using linear regression and mathematical modeling applied to natural gas consumption. We present a detailed explanation of detrending the historical data with an annual two‐parameter model and a five‐parameter model at higher frequency. Our goal is to make all historical data look like it occurred during the most recent heating season. By using this method, demands from heating seasons before the most recent can be adjusted by adding demand proportional to the difference in the model terms so that historical daily data for different years become approximately stationary. The benefit of this detrending is demonstrated with an example of building forecast models with and without detrending on different length training sets.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) - Kentucky health leaders have confirmed 16 people have tested positive for salmonella linked to pre-cut melons.
The Department for Public Health said the melons range from cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew. You should discard any pre-cut melons or fruit salads that contain pre-cut melon.
The source of the affected products is Caito Food from Indianapolis.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. The symptoms will develop 12-72 hours after exposure and will last 4-7 days. | 2019-04-23T10:55:28 | https://www.wkyt.com/content/news/16-Kentuckians-test-positive-for-salmonella-linked-to-pre-cut-melons-508598631.html |
Link encounters many characters and hazards from the Mario series during his quest.
At the beginning of the game, you meet Tarin, who is based on Mario. According to the Link's Awakening manual, Tarin "loves mushrooms and often goes to the forest in search of some for his dinner."
The Yoshi Doll that you can win in the Trendy Game starts a trading sidequest.
The friendly Chain Chomp is known as "BowWow," which is a direct translation of his Japanese name, "WanWan."
Wart is known by his Japanese name, "Mamu." Mamu helps you out by teaching you The Frog's Song of Soul.
Some side-scrolling areas have stone Bowser heads that you can shoot your hook into.
Link's Awakening also introduces two Thwomp variants called Mega Thwomp and Spiked Thwomp.

Ownership should not be the preserve of the wealthy or the privileged. . . . [We] believe in the power of ownership to create better lives, we want more people to own a home. . . .
Homeownership is central to the American dream, and [we] want to make it a reality for everyone. That starts with access to capital for entrepreneurs and access to credit for consumers. Both have improved immensely in the past four years, resulting in record levels of homeownership. For the first time, more than half of all minorities own their home.
Downpayment Act and Zero Downpayment Mortgages.
Wow, Philip. Thanks for finding that.
I heard Orrin Hatch on cable earlier blaming Bill Clinton for this crisis, based on something he claimed was in the NY Times in 1999.
Wish the host had read "zero-down mortgages" to him before identifying the provenance of this quote.
Philip's point is a great one, and everyone from Wall St. to Washington is afraid to say it. The platform - the REPUBLICAN"S platform - of encouraging homeownership for all Americans has just failed tremendously.
Certainly we should recognize the problem, but we also risk clamping down too much on the American dream for young folks who actually DO deserve the credit in advance of earning it. How can we tell the difference? I don't know. How can poor people find 20% of a home's price??
It's a really sad day for America, and these consumers failing is going to give ammo to the far right, who never supported this leap of faith in the first place. More regulation on lending is going to hurt the young and minorities more than anyone else. I'll be curious to see if Democrats in Washington continue to blame a lack or regulation. I'm afraid everyone is losing here.
Please don’t blame homeownership. Blame the amateur speculators – the “house flippers” - who thought that they should make a profit as part of the country’s obsession with driving up home prices. Their profit directly cost low-income homebuyers who were not in the market yet. It made homes irrationally more expensive and it ultimately made a bubble that burst on people who just wanted to own a home. You know these “flippers.” We all know at least one, and they thought they were smarter than anyone, as they bragged openly about their brilliant gains. It was like free money. But it was actually taking from all of us, and especially the first-time homebuyers.
Also blame the scoundrel mortgage brokers who mislead unintelligent buyers about the real risks falling home prices and adjustable rate mortgages. Was that commission really worth that much to you? Apparently.
But please don’t blame homeownership or the concept of bringing that dream to more and more Americans. I know it's a Republican idea, you're right, but it's a good one. | 2019-04-19T02:17:29 | http://polysigh.blogspot.com/2008/09/ownership-society.html |
Over the past few years I have been experimenting with interactive elements in worship gatherings. This has culminated in The Worship Lab, a project that was kindly funded by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship.
Over the past year I have led a team in finding new ways to draw our congregation into new forms of worship, including spiritual disciplines. Our year was amazing…so amazing that I have wanted to share a bit of what we have learned from the experience. Thankfully, Worship Leader Magazine thought it was worth sharing too…they published my writeup on The Worship Lab!
If you are interested in interactive worship and experiencing God in new ways, I suggest reading the article. Feel free to comment or ask questions, either here, or at Worship Leader Magazine. | 2019-04-24T11:59:39 | http://ywmh.org/?p=110 |

Be careful of Road Rage while shopping!
This time of the year the road is no longer just a means of moving around town, instead it becomes a dangerous place where every caution must be taken by consumers.
If you drive on the road around Kingston or any other major town you know of the chaos that usually happens during rush hour traffic. Well during the holidays it’s ten times worse. It’s almost as if everyone’s fuse is shorter and judgments are compromised by stress.
Drivers wait in long lines because someone parked incorrectly or simply because inconsiderate drivers have blocked the way for everyone else. It can be extremely frustrating to sit in traffic for lengthy periods especially if you have a number of things to accomplish.
This situation was especially difficult among motorists travelling to the malls along Constant Spring Road heading to Half Way Tree area. Although security personnel tried to assist customers to find parking spaces it soon became a mad dash for free spots.
Ultimately quarrels could be heard as everyone jostled for a parking spot and desperately tried to convince the other motorist to relinquish the space.
Although the quarrels never escalated to physical violence it is important to note how to deal with road rage if you find yourself in a similar situation.
The best way to deal with road rage is to avoid situations that might cause stress on the road. If you have to go to popular plazas go early when there are more spots available. It might also be a good idea to take a taxi or ask a friend to drop you off and pick you up in order to avoid lengthy delays while looking for a parking space.
Always remain calm. If the other drivers start to get irate it might be tempting to join them but that will only make matters worse. It is always better to drive away than prolong an argument.
Be polite and courteous, even if the other driver isn’t. Avoid any conflict, if possible. If another driver challenges you, take a deep breath and move out of the way!
Follow the directions of the parking attendant or security personnel. Another good guide is for consumers to park facing front as this makes it easier when it’s time to leave the parking lot and also allows for a smooth flow of traffic.
Driving too fast or too slow can really frustrate other drivers so focus on your driving and avoid this issue. Be considerate of other drivers so when you park in front of the store, don’t park in two spots line up the vehicle in one parking space.
On another note watch out for no parking signs as your vehicle could be clamped or towed which will incur an extra expense to recover.
How do you deal with road rage while shopping? Let me hear from you! | 2019-04-22T08:25:16 | http://gleanerblogs.com/iconsumer/?p=4035 |

Not so long ago SEOs and webmasters formed the general consensus that keyword meta tags had gone the way of the Dodo, and like that long extinct bird, is no longer a substantial component of any sensible content marketing strategy. Back in September 2012, Google introduced the “news_keywords” meta tag for publishers. Seems that many sites have yet to adopt this new tag for their news sections, and now seems like a good time to take another look this meta tag and get acquainted, or re-acquainted, with it.
Over the last several years, the internet has become one of the primary sources of news and information for everyday users. Publishers began to rely more and more on the internet as an outlet for news stories and press releases. Unfortunately, to get their stories in front of the desired audience, publishers needed to create titles that were stuffed with keywords in order for search engines to easily recognize the content. This severely hampered the creativity of news writers, and led to the dumbing down of many online news articles. So, Google introduces this new meta tag.
Essentially, the new meta tag allows news writers to be more creative with their stories, while helping Google News understand and classify the content so that it is more easily discoverable in an online search. The news_keywords tag allows publishers to specify the search terms that directly relate to the article, without the need for keyword stuffing in the title or text.
So It’s the Same as the Old Meta Tag, Right?
Well, not exactly. The original “keywords” meta tag was quickly abused by black hat SEOs who began leveraging the meta tag to rank for anything from poker sites to reverse mortgages. Before too long, the value of the meta tag was gone, and Google began placing less importance on it as a factor in their page ranking algorithms. Consequently, SEOs and webmasters began to shift their attention to keyword rich content.
This New Tag Will Improve Ranking, Right?
Google has been quick to point out that the new tag is not intended as a quick fix for news sites looking to improve their page ranking. It’s only one of the many factors that Google looks at when evaluating the value of a page or a website. As always, offering valuable and informative content is the key to getting noticed by Google’s search engine algorithms.
The news_keywords tag may help the search engine bots understand and classify your published content, but if your site is unknown or considered low value it will not greatly improve your page ranking. As ever, producing high quality, authoritative content is the key to keeping Google happy.
Most major online news outlets such as PRNewswire have been quick to embrace the news_keywords meta tag. However, smaller news sites have been slow to adopt the feature. But Google’s news_keywords meta tag is easy to implement, and should be seen as one more SEO lever in a publishers arsenal that can get their content in front of more online readers. | 2019-04-22T10:26:09 | https://zadroweb.com/keyword-meta-tags-back-least-us/ |
How hot is it? Well, on the mountain across from the monestary there were several forest fires last night burning from (they say) the hot sun shining on glass shards and igniting the really dry timber. Probably it is just as likely to be from cigarette butts being thrown out car windows, but who’s to say?Anyways, Montenegro is temporarily famous as the newest country in the world. I am now in an outdoor Internet cafe in Budva (very expensive at 2 euros for 30 minutes), and I don’t have my camera with me right now, so no pictures till later.
We stayed at the Ostrog Monestary last night. It is a beautiful church built into the side of a cliff. This is where the body of St. Basil is and he is said to be responsible for many miracle cures. If you buy a postcard you also get a nice plastic water bottle with holy water from the monestary.
The view should be really nice, but all the smoke from the forest fires and the haze from the heat are putting a bit of a damper on our holiday. We are all very hot and the bus rides are a bit miserable as the air conditioning just cannot possible keep up with the incredible heat which continues day after day.
Just for the record, if you are from somewhere out of the U.S. and are reading this blog, the beaches in Western Michigan are MUCH nicer and less crowded than the beaches I have seen so far in Montenegro. In fact, I just walked all the way out to one of the beaches just to see the incredible crowd of people, walk on the “sand” which is really pointy small pebbles that hurt your feed, and decided not to go in the water after all. You can all save your money by booking a hotel in West Michigan instead. Plus, Montenegro is being rapidly purchased by Russians, and may not be owned by Montenegrans much longer.
I guess it’s fair to say that I may actually look forward to returning home at the end of this week. Of course, I hope not to take the heat wave with me. | 2019-04-23T14:33:23 | http://busynessgirl.com/still-a-bit-hot-in-montenegro/ |

Hamed Shahbazi likes to talk about the big fish he landed over the past year.
He's done much since taking Info Touch Technologies, a developer of kiosk software and servicer of the high-tech terminals, to $4.3 million in annual revenue and 50 employees. But he points to the financing and partnership deal he and his company struck with U.S.-based giant Compaq Computer Corp. as a singularly impressive achievement.
The world's second-largest computer maker snagged 20 per cent of Info Touch earlier in 2001 and invested $775,000 in the local company. Under the deal, Info Touch gets a co-marketing agreement and strategic alliance with Compaq. Shahbazi said that Info Touch has access to Compaq's 27,000-strong service group and noted Compaq is also in the kiosk manufacturing business, building a product around its PC platform.
"The Compaq deal was very important for us," he said.
Shahbazi recognized the synergies between the direction Compaq was taking and what Info Touch was already doing, so he approached the computer giant.
But the UBC graduate has been on fast forward for a number of years. Soon after graduating, he co-founded Burnaby-based Info Touch to focus on public Internet access. The co-founders saw the Internet's use soaring in homes and offices and figured that, someday, it would filter down to what Shahbazi terms the "street level" where "commerce was happening."
"It was just a matter of time that we thought the kiosk would play a big role in that and it has and it will continue. We felt it was part of making the Internet ubiquitous."
They created security, billing and management software and raised $1 million when they took the company public in 1999. But it hasn't all been smooth selling. The company used to manufacture the kiosk, but now outsources that function. Now, Shahbazi looks forward to the future. "These are the toughest times. If you can exist through these tough times, if you can thrive and can make creative deals happen, we think that we'll thrive in an economy where things are clicking." | 2019-04-18T17:01:07 | http://gokis.net/self-service/newsbits/newsbits/PRs/pr010802c.html |

Very nice people to work with, and helpful at recommending local vendors. House was nice, but did not get full details on trash pickup and linen/towels details. Very helpful when we had air conditioning problem and pool cleaning issues. | 2019-04-24T00:04:21 | https://www.weddingwire.com/biz/sun-realty-kill-devil-hills/0d7768ff3486357e.html |

KCleaner is a powerful tool that will help to uncover redundant and junk files that you can safely delete.
The program has a good understanding of the kinds of clutter that will be left all over your hard drive by assorted applications. So aside from the usual Windows and browser temporary files, KCleaner can clear caches relating to Java, ATI Drivers, Skype, Google Earth, QuickTime, Adobe Reader and many more.
And while this won't necessarily free up a huge amount of space, it does mean that KCleaner's results compare will with the competition. We tried CCleaner on a trial PC, and it found 2.4GB of redundant files, for instance; KCleaner uncovered 2.73GB.
The program is also very configurable. You're able to choose precisely which types of files it should delete, and there are options to scramble file names before deletion, and securely wipe them so they can't be recovered later.
And once KCleaner is set up as you'd like, it can be left to run in the background, automatically cleaning up redundant files on a regular basis.
Please note, KCleaner will by default try to install toolbars and other "extras". If you don't want this, pay very close attention during the setup process, and decline the various installations as they appear.

Dan Brereton entered the industry in the late 1980s and, alongside Alex Ross and a select few others, ushered in what he playfully calls the Golden Age of Painted Comics, one in which not only covers but interior pages were fully painted. If we were to compare that era to classic Hollywood, Alex Ross would be Cary Grant while Brereton would be Vincent Price. And he wouldn't have it any other way.
Brereton's lush, horror-tinged art led him to quickly jump from the independents to major work at Marvel and DC, where he made a name for himself with series like The Psycho and Legends of the World's Finest, earning him the Russ Manning Award. In 1997, he teamed with Howard Chaykin for a romping Elseworlds story titled Thrillkiller, which prompted a sequel, and then put him on his way to his own creations -- the Nocturnals.
In the years since, he's balanced between creator-owned and work-for-hire, both in the United States and in Europe. I reached out to Brereton to talk about the 20th anniversary of his creator-owned Nocturnals, as well as his dalliances with work at DC, Marvel and elsewhere, and what his plans are for 2014 and beyond. He fills us in on two exciting new creator-owned projects, as well as a return to Nocturnals and a story for DC's digital-first comics.
Chris Arrant: What are you working on today?
Dan Brereton: This evening I'm painting a page from part one of my Legends of the Dark Knight arc , entitled "Six Fingers." I wrote it last year. It's fours parts, and will debut on DC Digital First. I'm very excited about this one: It's a return to Batman for me, over a dozen years in the making, and even longer since my work on Legends of the Dark Knight itself. You can download that effort on the DC site, Legends of the Dark Knight #114. This new one is fully painted. The first chapter will debut later in the year. It features characters like the Joker and Mad Hatter, but it's more of a scary horror trip Batman is caught up in. Very fish out of water, but also very much Batman as the Dark Knight Detective we expect him to be.
2013 was an interesting year for you: You wrote Vampirella: The Red Room, did some covers for Marvel, IDW and Dark Horse, and put out a new art book titled Sorceress. Where do you see yourself going in 2014?
2014 is the 20th anniversary of your most famous creation, Nocturnals. Do you have any plans to ring in the occasion?
Yes! Most definitely. This year will be full of pleasant surprises for the readers, for fans of the Nocturnals, and for fans of comics, art, story, who are looking for something to come along and sweep them up.
Could we at some point see you doing more Nocturnals comics?
Yes! That's a big part of the plan for this year. One priority is a special issue to commemorate 20 years since its debut in December of '94 -- a special introducing them to new readers, and a homecoming for longtime fans. Prior to this, we'll see the release of Nocturnals Legend, a 150-page, 9-by-12 compendium of their saga as written and compiled by the characters, themselves. I'm also assembling a limited-edition 11-by-17 portfolio as well.
It's time for me to focus on what I do best, and the world I created for my characters 23 years ago. They are as vital and timeless now for me as they ever were .
Why do you think you were drawn to horror and monsters so early and so dominantly in your professional career?
One of earliest memories of drawing monsters is from kindergarten. Our teacher asked us one afternoon what we wanted to do with the hour we had left in class and I yelled out, "Let's draw monsters!" Teacher agreed and that was one of the greatest hours of my life in school. For that period of time I was the expert of monster drawing in my class, and the great feeling from that experience instilled an importance to accompany the pure fun of drawing -- so monsters are tied very directly to my art. The creative process is tied to it. Your imagination is where monsters live. So to my mind, anyway, monsters are the purest product of our imaginations, whether they be good or bad or just plain wild. That idea never ceases to inspire me and find it's way into my work. I don't even think of monsters as a genre anymore. It's to big a word to contain -- monsters are in almost every story in one form or another -- and that certainly holds true in superhero stories.
One of the earliest works people came to know you by is Batman: Thrillkiller with Howard Chaykin. Unlike some of your contemporaries, you've never really jumped into superheroes 100 percent, despite many opportunities. You do it here and there, but not making it the be-all, end-all. Can you tell us about your thoughts on superheroes and the work-for-hire industry that surrounds it for the most part?
I'm fine with the work-made-for-hire environment, really. I've worked in it for 25 years without a whole lot of complaint. Superheroes seem to thrive in that environment, and not as much outside of it. It isn't only comics fans who practically worship established heroes: Look at the success of the Marvel film franchise. I have had a hankering to create a super-universe for as long as I can remember. I got to dabble in that early on with The Psycho -- anyone who wants a to see a Brereton super-verse, check out the parade of costumed super-beings in that graphic novel. Part of the reason there are so many characters appearing there is because we were establishing a world we wanted to feel real and established -- and because DC wanted to make it a monthly comic. If I could make a super-verse fly, I'd love that. Established companies have the resources to maintain the cross-continuity of many titles, to feed the hunger of the reader who craves more of that world. This is what drew me to the Marvel Universe as a kid in the '70s: an alternate universe you saw for a quarter per peek. I am perfectly happy working superheroes. I think I have an aptitude for them, which has not been utilized to full potential, not to my satisfaction.
For instance, I would love to do something involving Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters. When I come to the table with superhero pitches, invariably it's the ones that involve something with a monster or supernatural bent that are chosen by editors. I think it's because they enjoy seeing me do what they consider to be my best feature. And to be honest, I probably gravitate toward them note myself. But I'd you have ever read The Last Battle, the graphic novel I did with Tito Faraci, you could say I like a good departure now and then, too. I'm not tied to any one genre, except perhaps for crime fiction. I prefer to look at superhero stories as a form of crime fiction with a fantastic pulp sensibility woven into them. Steven Grant and I use to talk about doing Conan as crime fiction. Crime, noir, mystery, almost always find themselves into my creator work some way or another. The current Batman project is a perfect melding of supernatural, crime, mystery, which is exactly what Nocturnals is, as well.
You came onto the comics scene in the early '90s and bore witness as a fan and a creator as painted comics went from being a rare commodity to being more and more common, with Alex Ross, Esad Ribic and yourself all leading the way. What do you think of the acceptance of it, and the modernization of printing and coloring technology to allow it?
Technology certainly caught up with what painters are able to do, on paper and of course digitally, but it sure took a long time! I think during what I'll call, just for fun, the Golden Age of Painted Comics -- the '90s -- we could've really used it. It just wasn't there. Now that we have it. Painted comics are not nearly as prevalent now. Some ways it's a detriment to my profession that I'm not digital artist at least that's how it feels sometimes. By the same token, because I paint with an actual brush with actual paint on actual paper 00 I'm overladen with work. Collectors of the work appreciate the fact they can have an original piece of artwork to own, so my commission list is through the roof! I think that you have a variety with the option of a fully painted comics , especially with certain stories, I think, which benefit from it.
It seems like money has been an obstacle with a lot of creative projects since the '90s and the huge drop-off in sales which occurred then. So many stories I've written and wanted to illustrate have had to be shelved. This makes me excited for the success of crowdfunding. A veteran creator can basically support himself and his family while working on a project that a specific number of people have already supported, and to the benefit of many more people who will see in the direct market. It makes me excited for the future of fully painted comic books stories, stories in general , which need to come out from many many more creators than there's room for in the current direct market.
Last year you did a short with Len Wein for Bongo Comics' Treehouse of Terror #19. It was a really fun story, and great to see you working with Len.
It was great! I love Bongo. I asked my longtime pal and editor, Bill Morrison, for Len Wein, and lo! Len appeared! Unfortunately, we lost the involvement of Bill as our shepherd partway through the process, as he moved up the ladder in the company, but everyone at Bongo is great. Any time I start a Simpsons story I'm always nervous because I'm fighting my style in favor of doing theirs. But by the time the art is finished, I'm ready to dive into any Bongo story after that. I had lamented to Bill for many years the fact Bongo had never done a Lovecraft spoof. It was pretty amazing to break new ground there. Bill had wanted to do an all-Lovecraft Treehouse of Terror issue that year, and I was going to write the other two stories and artwork for all three -- and after Bill was moved up the ladder, it turned out, literally, to be too good to be true. Len and I didn't collaborate much, as we has both wanted to -- an email mix- up, I think. Unfortunate, but on his own he penned a very funny story with ghastly moments. I was free to put my stamp on the visuals, which was like being set loose in an amusement park.
I wanted to also ask you about Vampirella: The Red Room, and coming into your own writing more. This isn't your first time writing for another artist, but this miniseries really showed off that ability. Vampirella seems like a really apt character for you, and it's not your first time, but how was it?
Thanks, Chris, I appreciate that. I'm a fan of Vampirella; her character has always had so much potential. There's an argument to be made that her potential has yet to be realized . While Vampi was still at Harris Comics, I wrote a Halloween special called "Dungeon Eyes," drawn by my friend John Heebink, a talent whose work I love. I was really happy with the way that story came out. If you can go look it up it's a fun one , and John is such a great draftsman. So when I found out Vampirella had been acquired by Dynamite Comics, I was all over Nick to do something. I had written two separate, single-issue Red Sonja stories for them and I was chomping at the bit to do more. With Vampirella: The Red Room I was again working with an artist, but the major differences this time was I didn't choose him and I didn't have any idea who would be drawing it until I was well into writing the thing. I knew there was a chance I wouldn't connect with the art, so I focused everything on what was happening in the story itself. I tend to get lost in there, which is, of course, the appeal of writing. And the more I got my head into the story, the more and more I felt should be doing the art myself. I pursued it with them, arguing sales of the miniseries would be much higher if I were also doing the art, but was basically told they couldn't afford me. I knew exactly how that story needed to look- to the point where I did a dozen concept drawings for characters and creatures appearing in the story, due to a persistent vision of how it looked in the pages of my head. And ultimately, as talented as he is, and as good a guy as he is, it wasn't a perfect fit for the artist. It was really my story to tell from beginning to end.
I know full well why it all happened the way it did -- no one need explain the business side of thing to me. The miniseries was product. It wasn't going to impact the monthly series, they wanted another comic with her face and logo -- and costume -- out there on the shelves. So the investment was small for them. In the end, it was another opportunity for me to derive joy from telling stories. I don't care if it's part of continuity or if it's hammering out the history of a character, small or large, if it's a big project or not, my heart will be in it. I'm sure most writers feel this way, but I can't help but think as an artist- who must immerse himself into every picture he draws or paints -- that tendency must lend itself to storytelling in any form. It's an asset to writing and could never be a detriment. When all is said and done, I would write any of those characters again for the chance to tell more of their stories.
Is writing, especially writing for another artist, something you're looking to do more of in 2014?
Yes, particularly when I come across an artist whom I like personally and whose work inspires me. I always want to work with those people. I want to write for them, or pair them with an existing something I feel is perfect for what they do. It's very important for an artist to be engaged in the story and feel like that story was almost written for him if not written for them. I have a project called Autumn I want to see happen with a very talented artist from Spain who is a sweet and intelligent fella , fantastically talented -- Nacho Fernandez -- and we are in the process of setting it up. I have any number of projects and artists of love to work with, so that's a constant for me.
Outside of comics you've done things like concept art for movies, art for TV shows, album covers, and even some art for a Wild West theme park. Any illustration projects recently that people may not know about?
I can't really offer much of an answer there at present, but the work I'll soon do for Topps on this IP is something I hope sees the light before too long. It's an exciting concept and I'm very enthusiastic about. Sorry, I know that's a tease. Check out Phantomcanvas.com for prints and gallery wrapped canvas editions of my work. It's a company I helped found and we are really happy with the response from happy customers so far since we started in July. We offer prints for any budget, which is nice. This is the year I'll be concentrating most on bringing the Nocturnals back to the comic shop shelves and into the hangs of supporters and backers, fans and readers. I couldn't be more excited about this. | 2019-04-21T18:11:30 | https://www.cbr.com/conversing-on-comics-with-dan-brereton/ |

VfL winter signing Kristine Minde in a brief interview.
Since Wednesday, the women from VfL have been located at their winter training-camp in Portugal, close to the city of Faro – and the Lady-Wolves already have several intensive training sessions behind them. Due to duty with the Norwegian national team, winter signing Kristine Minde joined the Green-Whites a little later. The following morning, she then took to the training grounds, where Minde initially went through a reduced programme. Between her shifts, the 25 year old, who joined the Lady-Wolves from Linköpings FC at the beginning of December, took time out for a short interview.
Kristine Minde, can we hold this interview in German?
Kristine Minde: I’m not quite up to that yet – let’s stick to English for now (laughing). I do know quite a few German words though and I have begun to learn the language. In training, the coach always speaks in German and I understand the simpler things – my team mates help me with the rest. Once we get back from the training-camp, I’ll start a German course.
What type of player can the Lady-Wolves fans look forward to?
Kristine: That’s a good question – and not such an easy one to answer. I consider myself to be a real team player and I have played in a lot of different positions. I can play on the left or right side in defensive or offensive roles. Over the past six years, I’ve played in every imaginable position – except as a goalkeeper. I can play with either foot, I am a physically strong player and I think I am quite fast.
You’ve been training with the team since December. Has it been tough on you that you have only been able to watch the games thus far?
Kristine: That wasn’t so bad. I have a very long season in Sweden behind me. The season there ended in November and immediately after that, I transferred to Wolfsburg. It was actually really good for me to be able to start slowly. I had the opportunity to training with the team and that way I got to know the style of play.
What are your goals for the latter half of the current season?
Kristine: I want to develop further and become better integrated into the team. I hope that together, we can put in good performances in the league, the cup and in the Champions League. I can’t help out in the European games, because I already played for Linköping in the Champions League this season, but I will be cheering on the girls and keeping my fingers crossed from the stands. | 2019-04-20T02:57:25 | https://www.vfl-wolfsburg.de/en/news-detail/news-detail/detail/news/i-want-to-develop-further/ |

Three replicated, controlled studies in Sweden and the USA found that shelterwood harvesting resulted in higher plant diversity, lower grass cover and higher density of tree species compared with clearcutting.
Shelterwood harvesting is a management technique designed to obtain even-aged trees without clearcutting. It involves harvesting trees in a series of partial cuts, with trees removed uniformly over the plot. This allows new seedlings to grow from seeds dispersed by older trees. This can help in maintaining distinctive forest species and increase structural diversity of stands.
A replicated study in 1985-1993 in temperate coniferous forest in Sweden (Hannerz & Hånell 1997) found that shelterwood harvesting increased plant diversity compared with clearcutting. Plant diversity was higher in shelterwood (Simpson index: 0.48) than in clearcut areas (0.37). Species richness, average height and total cover of plants were similar between shelterwood (species: 5.3/0.25 m2; height: 33 cm; cover: 75%) and clearcut areas (species: 4.2/0.25 m2: height: 34 cm: cover: 65%). In 1985, 2-4 clearcut (all trees removed) plots (40 × 25 m) and 4-8 shelterwood (140-200 trees/ha retained) plots (20 × 25 m) were established in each of four sites. Monitoring was undertaken in 1993 in 24-160 subplots/treatment in each site. Each subplot was 0.5 × 0.5 m.
A replicated, controlled study in 1974-1992 in temperate coniferous forest in Montana, USA (Shearer & Schmidt 1999) found that shelterwood harvesting increased the density of conifers compared with clearcutting. Density (trees/ha) of conifers >30 cm tall (shelterwood: 19,895; clearcut: 6,834) and total conifer density (shelterwood: 31,389; clearcut: 8,741) were the highest in shelterwood. Three blocks of each treatment, shelterwood and clearcutting, were duplicated in two sites in 1974. Data were collected in 1992 in 80 plots (0.004 ha) in each treatment block.
A replicated, study in 1993-2000 in temperate forest in Sweden (Karlsson & Nilsson 2005) found that shelterwood harvesting increased the density of some tree species and decreased the cover of grasses compared with clearcutting. Density (seedlings/ha) of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris (shelterwood: 18,500-23,000; clearcut: 3,000-6,500) and Norway spruce Picea abies (shelterwood: 17,000-20,000; clearcut: 2,500-3,000) was higher in shelterwood while density of birch Downy birch Betula pubescens and Silver birch B. pendula was similar between treatments (3,500-8,500 seedlings/ha). Cover of grasses (shelterwood: 19-20%; clearcut: 32-35%) was lower in shelterwood while cover of herbs (5-11%) and dwarf-shrubs (12-18%) was similar. In 1993-1995 two shelterwood (cutting 40% of volume) and two clearcut treatment plots (0.4 ha) were established in each of eight sites. Data were collected in 2000. | 2019-04-23T05:21:04 | https://www.conservationevidence.com/actions/1214 |
We can’t by-pass the bypass!
If you live in or around Cannock, we’re sure you are aware by now of the major disruption being caused on the Orbital bypass!
Whether you think the new retail outlet will be a good thing or a bad thing for the town, the fact remains that construction is well and truly underway, and roadworks are set to continue for at least 72 weeks.
For full details of the works scheduled, you can read the Express and Star’s latest update here.
Suffice to say, it’s causing our drivers a few issues too. Not great, considering this is also our busiest time of the year!
If you’re finding our drivers are delayed with collections and deliveries at the moment, this is most likely the cause, so please bear with us.
Unfortunately, we can’t always by-pass the bypass!
We appreciate it’s frustrating (it is for us too), but we really do appreciate your patience and understanding. Let’s hope things run smoothly and the roads are back to normal as soon as possible. | 2019-04-18T18:50:45 | https://edscouriers.co.uk/we-cant-by-pass-the-bypass/ |
NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch recently made the most bizarre argument in defense of Donald Trump.
[The investigators are] trying to Al Capone the president. I mean, you remember. Capone didn’t go down for murder. Elliot Ness didn’t put him in for murder. He went in for tax fraud. Prosecutors didn’t care how he went down as long as he went down. The same goes for Democrats. Whatever avenue is needed to bring down the president, they’ll take it.
In case that sounds familiar, Trump recently compared his former campaign manager Paul Manafort to Al Capone. But Loesch appears to be an intelligent (if not a bit disturbed) human being. Does she not understand that comparing the president to a notorious mob boss is not a great idea?
Jeet Heer responded to all of this on Twitter by saying, “I’m enjoying the new Republican meme that Al Capone got a raw deal.” Remember those days gone by when Trump promised to be the “law and order president?” Now he says that “flipping” ought to be illegal and his enablers are crying crocodile tears over how Al Capone was treated.
Frankly, ever since Trump got elected I’ve been hearing more about the mob than I have since the days of The Godfather series. David Clay Johnston, who has investigated Trump’s mafia ties, explains why that is happening.
This is part of the Donald Trump story that few know…From the public record and published accounts like that one, it’s possible to assemble a clear picture of what we do know. The picture shows that Trump’s career has benefited from a decades-long and largely successful effort to limit and deflect law enforcement investigations into his dealings with top mobsters, organized crime associates, labor fixers, corrupt union leaders, con artists and even a one-time drug trafficker whom Trump retained as the head of his personal helicopter service.
Let’s pretend that you are trying to defend a guy like that as his associates plead or are found guilty of various crimes. One would assume that the last place you’d go in crafting an argument would be to compare him to Al Capone. But that’s exactly where Loesch went. Maybe I’d better rethink that whole idea about her being an intelligent human being. | 2019-04-18T19:14:04 | https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/08/24/nra-spokesperson-compared-trump-to-al-capone/ |
