The fleece in there is some of what I got from Forest Home Farms annual shearing party in San Ramon a couple weeks ago. East Bay Mystery Sheep at it’s finest. It’s short and full of kemp but not too dirty. It might be a lamb because it has that curly tip like first fleeces tend to have and it’s fairly soft. From the spongy feel there is obviously some down breed in there (Suffolk?) and a bit of California Red. I figured I’d use it to mess around with some drum carder experiments, although at this point I think it’s getting tossed in the I’ll Card It All Together Eventually pile. There’s a lot of kemp in there and the red hair is not high on my list either.

The 16-ply cable is done, along with the extra fine cotton. I haven’t measured either, although the 50g of wool yarn won’t even begin to fit in the plastic sandwich bag. It’s huge. Much to my amazement, I had no trouble plying the singles even with the absurdly small amount of twist in them. The yarn comes out kinda square, it’s a 4-ply yarn that is then done 4-ply again with hardly any twist at all. The whole thing is felted, it shrunk quite a bit but now holds together nicely.
I skeined the extra fine cotton to wash, very carefully. Now I have to unwind it to measure. I think it will be ok, it only broke once in winding, but I’m still nervous. This yarn is much more even than the brown cotton single that gave me such trouble. Since I’m doing extra fine cotton, I’ve started on some combed Pima for the two-ply. It is breaking more than I’d like but otherwise is doing ok.
I’m trying to figure out how to describe my cotton spinning technique. I’m doing the exact same motions as for the other extra fine, but since this is combed and not carded the yarn comes out smoother. Supposedly combed cotton is to be spun “point of twist,” which is drafting while moving the fiber so it stays ahead of the twist. I do that, yes, but then I make the yarn thinner and more even by continuing to draft. Isn’t that what happens with a rolag spun woolen or carded cotton or a puni? Some people even call it “double drafting.” This is where the whole woolen/worsted thing falls apart. Cotton doesn’t handle like wool. I tried pure point of twist, with no extra drafting, and other than a thicker yarn it doesn’t look any different. But since I’m using combed fiber, supposedly the “correct” way to spin is with a short draw technique. Point of twist, with no further drafting, is short draw because it is pulling the fibers out in parallel and then immediately twisting them into finished yarn.

I haven’t had much to say because most of it has been pretty dull. I’ll spare you the details of the not-family-friendly conversations I’ve had with the inkjet printer over alignment. I did some research at the library and worked on more writing. Oh, and I changed my jury service so I don’t have to go the week before I need to mail all this stuff off. Isn’t that thrilling?
I am doing some spinning at least, I got the fine textured cotton done, reeled a bobbin of silk (and glued another together into a sticky mess) and today I’m doing singles for a lofty cable yarn. That one is fairly mindless, a nice break. I’ve been warned that The Boyfriend might be coming home early from his business trip, I hope it’s not before I can vacuum up the fiber that’s all over the floor.

No, the cotton is not done yet. But I did some other things at least.
This week I had my first real try at reeling silk. I did a basic how-to with a friend some months ago but he set everything up and we all just tried it for a few minutes. He was still there, but I did nearly everything so I could learn to use the equipment. It went exceptionally well and I got some very fine filament silk out of it. Now I have to decide just what I want to do with it. I have been thinking of using this for the medium silk skein and I have some ideas of how to do it. Now I can try some out and see what I think.
Today I went to a sheep shearing party. There is a park in San Ramon that is a farm, they have sheep for dog training. Every year there is a public event for shearing and there are demonstrations, kid art projects and so on. A bunch of local spinners went to more-or-less sit around and be colorful atmosphere and answer questions about spinning. It was windy and hard to get much spinning done but we had a good time showing off our stuff. Also, we can get basically all the wool we want from whatever is not claimed by someone else. It’s not great stuff, but it’s ok and I always need more dirty greasy wool, right? Yeah. Well, anyway, I came home with a bunch of wool that I have to figure out what to do with. I have a small bag of some kind of Suffolk that I think I might use for my remaining wool COE skein and a random fleece that looked usable. It was finer than most and not particularly nasty, even if it’s shorter than I like. The shearer was keeping some fleeces to sell to the local wool pool, but only the white ones so this landed in the discard pile. It’s several shades of gray, I sorted it out back and washed up some samples to have a look.

How do I know when I should exit a trade?
Are there some rules on this that I can follow?
Many traders approach their strategy with one thing in mind: establishing the qualifications for entry. The ‘edge’ if you will. From there, the trade should take care of itself, right? Not really. How you manage a trade after it has been taken is perhaps the most important dynamic to a true strategy (as opposed to approaching the market trade by trade). Once in a trade, you have cast your line; and the result will ultimately be a gain or a loss. Yet, unless you think this one trade will make you wealthy enough to retire after its closed; it is important to establish some consistent (if flexible) parameters for when you should exit the market with a profit or (preferably) a tolerable loss. What are the considerations you should account for when looking for the exit?
The first rule for plotting your exit is to have some notion of how you will get out of your trade before you even put it on. For those traders that are utter beginners, we usually hammer home the concept of defining a hard stop and target before you even enter a position. This is just a suggestion to instill good habits – namely: don’t trade with emotions. That being said, absolutes aren’t conducive to trading. You need to retain some level of flexibility for a market and financial structure that is adaptable. Nonetheless, we still need to establish some ground rules; because a preconceived notion of an exit can bring significant clarity to the success or failure of your trade. It is a good exercise to ask yourself in the middle of a trade whether this is a good position or not and why. Even those supremely confident in their trading skills and can answer the first question will still have to take a cold hard look at their reasoning.
When going about establishing exit points, you should consider a ‘graceful’ exit whether you have a winning or losing trade. Both scenarios should be accounted for on the initial development of the trade. A stop is pretty straight forward. If the market has broken a specific technical level or the notional loss on the position breaches your tolerance level, it is time to exit and reassess (never right-off a pair altogether, you will have to trade the pair again sometime in the future). Yet, I like to combine technicals and money management when establishing my own stops. I will typically only risk 1 to 5 percent of my total equity on any single trade. That is a hard fast rule. Now, I look at the technical scenario. If a reasonable place to set my stop is too far from the entry or it happens to be very close, I will use that level and simply alter my position size such that my total risk will always fit that 1 to 5 percent rule while maintaining the technical setup.
Targets are a different story. As it is often said: “you should cut your losers and let your winners run.” This is advice to live by; but how? Well, we have capped our losses; but balancing your take-profit is more difficult. The first thing to do is refer back to your stop. How much risk did you take on the outlay? Your trade should be able to compensate for that risk and more. But, how do we do this without leaving the trade open to emotions taking control and stopping a trade out too soon or keeping it on for so long that it reverses? What if we set our first target near or equal to the initial risk taken? This target should be set within meaningful technical bounds so that nothing prevents the setup from playing out aside from natural market forces. With this approach, we are trading with multiple objectives. That first target is to simply reduce the risk with the trade. A big emotional weight will be lifted when you book this allotment. To further lift the haze of fear and greed, we can trail the stop on the remaining portion of the position. Now, with the remaining half of the position, you can ‘let your profits run.’ If you initially entered a trade with the belief that it would force a medium-term breakout; and you just took half profit and curbed your risk. You can now wait for that move to happen with a cool head. For the second half, it is important not to just let it drift. Have a target level or wait for momentum to turn against your position (the end of or pause in a trend).
This further leads us to consider: how long should all of this take? Too few people actually consider when they go into a trade that it should take X-number of minutes, hours or days. Typically, they wait until their patience is tested; and that is when their good trading habits start to break down. A simple way to establish how long a trade should take is to first consider what time frame you are looking at your charts or fundamental developments. If you are waiting for global economic activity to accelerate, then you are talking about a broad driver that can take weeks or months. If you are looking at a range and potential breakout candidate on a daily chart that has taken three weeks to develop, allow for at least a couple days. If you have watched a repeatable pattern develop on a five minute chart; your scalp should develop over approximately the same time as the previous pattern. And, what should you do after your time is up? Exit. Don’t think twice. Just exit the trade and reassess when that pair will once again be a good long or short. | 2019-04-18T22:39:56 | http://www.thebull.com.au/experts/a/14344-how-do-i-know-when-i-should-exit-a-trade.html |
The Brooklyn Nets reached into their past to hire one of the franchise’s greatest players on Wednesday, opting to hire Jason Kidd as their new head coach. Brooklyn chose Kidd over Indiana associate head coach Brian Shaw, who interviewed for the position Wednesday afternoon.
Kidd, the franchise’s leader in assists and steals, wowed the Nets when he interviewed for the job last weekend, giving the team’s management a strong vision of what he wanted to accomplish if they took a chance on him, despite his never having coached in any capacity. Kidd’s playing career just ended two weeks ago, when he retired after 19 seasons, the last of which came with the Knicks. Kidd played well for New York early in the season, teaming with guard Ray Felton, but his play slipped noticeably down the stretch, and he didn’t score a point in the team’s last 10 games, going 0 of 17 from the floor.
But Kidd, who was the co-Rookie of the Year in 1994 with Grant Hill, will go down as one of the game’s all-time greatest point guards. He’s second in league history in assists (12,091) and steals (2,684), trailing Hall of Famer John Stockton in both categories. His presence was crucial to the Mavericks’ successful playoff run in 2011, which culminated in a six-game Finals victory over Miami.
Kidd, according to a source, was mulling over potential television opportunities when he instead followed through on what many thought was just idle talk about wanting to become a head coach. He asked Nets president Billy King if he could have an audience to discuss a potential transition into coaching, and Kidd made an impression both on King and other senior Brooklyn officials.
Shaw, who is still up for the vacant jobs in Denver and Philadelphia, was told that the Nets “sensed a specialness” in Kidd, according to a source, and thought this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to bring in a player who had been the face of the franchise when it was in New Jersey, when Kidd led the Nets to back-to-back Finals appearances in 2001 and 2002.
Shaw was believed to have the inside track for the job after Phil Jackson rebuffed the Nets’ inquiries about the position last month. King believed the Nets’ personnel was ideal to run aspects of the triangle offense, which Shaw obviously knew and had mastered as Jackson’s assistant in Los Angeles, as well as a former player for the Lakers who had been on the Lakers’ three championship teams in 2000-2002. It was another bitter disappointment for Shaw, who was passed over to be Jackson’s successor in L.A. after his retirement in 2011 for Mike Brown. Brown lasted one season plus five games before being fired last November.
Kidd’s relationship with the Nets’ point guard Deron Williams clearly was also a driving factor in the team’s decision to go outside the box for its next coach. Kidd and Williams played on the 2008 Olympic gold medal team in Beijing and share the same agent. The two are close and the Nets were disappointed in Williams’s play for much of this season, his first since signing a $98 million extension last summer. Brooklyn was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Bulls in seven games, losing the seventh game at home.
Kidd will be the team’s third head coach in less than a year. Brooklyn fired Avery Johnson in December after the team got off to a 14-14 record, replacing him with P.J. Carlesimo, who finished the season and playoffs as the team’s interim coach. The team announced two days after its loss to Chicago that it would not be bringing Carlesimo back next season.
Kidd is determined to bring in assistant coaches with significant coaching experience to his staff, and according to Yahoo! Sports, he has reached out to longtime assistant coach Tim Grgurich, who is beloved by players and coaches alike for his development skills with players. Grgurich was on Dallas’ staff when Kidd played there and the two remain close. | 2019-04-23T00:26:58 | https://clipperdarrell.com/2013/06/12/great-news-jason-kidd-has-been-hired-by-the-brooklyn-nets-as-head-coach/ |

Straupe Castle, built in 1263, is located in Latvia's Gauja National Park. The castle complex includes Lielstraupe Church. Originally Romanesque in design, following a fire in 1905 the church tower was reconstructed in the Baroque style. | 2019-04-19T18:25:53 | http://lancedietrichphotography.com/picturesque/LatvianChurch |
Located in Guangzhou, Vanke Cloud City Phase 2 is a pioneer mixed use development project in China. It is composed of four residential towers with over 5000 small apartments (8-35 sq.m) surrounded by fashionable commercial frontage. This project is one of the first small apartment projects in China, aiming to satisfy the young newcomers who work in big cities but cannot afford the high price of real estate. With small apartments, young people can continue living in first tier cities, enjoying rich career opportunities, modern facilities, comprehensive public services, and access to cutting-edge information, all while still being able to afford a home.
We based the overall landscape framework on a modular grid system. From softscape, to paving, to outdoor furniture and installation, landscape elements are arranged on this modular system so that they are easy to construct, assemble, and replace. For hard landscape materials we used Vanke precast concrete modules. Vanke modules are not currently popular in China, but their utilization allows us to reduce costs, and avoid over-exploitation of natural stone (which is a conservation issue in China).
Assembled precast concrete modular outdoor furniture is used extensively in this project. We designed only two basic precast concrete modules, but these could be recombined and assembled into more than 20 different combinations. Customers can choose the most comfortable furniture combination to meet their needs. The freedom to choose flexible furniture combinations will appeal strongly to a young market.
We designed a series of fun, interactive installations. The Cloud Line is a continuous tubular steel structure, bent into a bar, parallel bars, monkey bars, benches, and other fitness facilities. Orange glaze paint made the Cloud Line vibrant and youthful. Cloud Seat is a modular set of interactive spaces made of pre-perforated steel plate. Seating stacks up vertically and extends horizontally to create a fun place for interactive communication. Cloud Seat is lit up at night and produces stunning lighting effects through the perforated plate.
Through joint efforts with our client, the design was fully executed. The showcase area also received public praise. | 2019-04-24T22:52:28 | http://dhscape.com/lab/pixel-garden/ |

Facebook's new Home software on Android means still more ways to interact with people whom you're not actually with at the time. Is that always a good thing?
If you're one of the people who get Facebook's new Home software, your social-media life will be front and center whenever you pick up your phone. It's literally putting Facebook in your face.
While that may have appeal to heavy-duty Facebook users who want to be in constant touch with their social graph, it raises some issues about "presence." People have their phones with them almost all the time, including when they're interacting with friends, family, and work colleagues, and many of us (myself included) have a habit of paying attention to our phones when, perhaps, we should be paying attention to the people around us.
Facebook isn't creating any new problems with this software, but it is making it even easier to be distracted. For some that's not a problem. For others it's a small problem, and for some -- including people who may have some some deeper issues like Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), it can be a major issue. And though it has yet to be officially recognized in the United States, there are Asian countries that recognize a condition that's being called "Internet Addiction Disorder."
To find out more, I spoke with three experts: Dr. Jeff Szymanski, a clinical psychologist and executive director of the International OCD Foundation, Robin Maier, a Tampa-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who has blogged about ADD and texting, and Dr. Michael Rich, the director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Boston Children's Hospital (scroll down for podcast interview).
I asked each of them to help me understand where to draw the line between normal, though perhaps sometimes annoying, use of technology and when it becomes a serious problem. All three used the traditional definition of addiction: when it interferes with family life, work, or achieving your goals. Szymanski made the distinction of when constant attention to a phone might be necessary versus when it's not. "If a sports editor checks scores several times a day, it might make sense," he said. But if it's not a job requirement and you do it so often that it "interferes with your work, your relationships, and your day-to-day functioning," it could be an unhealthy compulsive behavior. Maier worries that people "on the ADD spectrum who find it harder to stay focused" could easily be distracted by their phones to the point that "it affects their personal relationships."
Dr. Rich asks people to think about whether they're using their device "more and more all the time in order to get the same level of satisfaction," whether they "start to experience negative symptoms" when they're away from it, and whether they're willing "to take on negative consequences such as your wife being angry with you or your colleagues being annoyed with you in order to maintain that habit."
Disclosure: Larry Magid is co-director of ConnectSafely.org, a nonprofit Internet-safety organization that receives financial support from Facebook.

Mechanically keyed flashing was created to ensure moisture protection in the masonry field. It is typically used at floor level, underneath sills and over lintels. With 3″ intervals, a bond is formed in the mortar bed in three locations to ensure a watertight seal without the use of other sealants (certain conditions apply). The 3″ intervals provide moisture to exit the structure quickly and unconstrained.
Step flashing is manufactured to your exact specifications.
With the same purpose as keyed and smooth flashing, this two piece counter flashing applies where flat roofs meet rising walls. The step flashing, either keyed or smooth, has a vertical locking slot that holds the insert into place. After the step flashing is installed, the insert can be set against the base flashing. The insert can be removed and reused at any time.
Three-way sawtooth interlocking flashing with a 3/16″ high undercut sawtooth ribs at 3″ centers, provide a three-way mechanical bond in the mortar bed and insure rapid drainage of moisture to exterior. Sawtooth undercuts provide a watertight joint without the use of sealants or solder. Soldering may be required at the corners or in special conditions.
Place a thin bed of mortar on the surface to be prepared for flashing placement.
Set flashing on mortar bed push down to ensure that the mortar fills the sawtooth keys.
Set the sawtooth flashing into the mortar.
Make sure the end sawtooth key is kept clean to ensure locing of the next section of flashing. Flashing should be secured to substrate.
Preformed metal corners and end dams are used in correlation with other flashing to insure structural reliability by creating a moisture barrier that supports a watertight setting. Preformed metal corners and end dams are seamless, tough and most important, simple. Ordering preformed corners and end dams will eliminate cutting and bending on site.
This type of flashing will offer a tough aesthetically and attracting finish for thru wall or exposed flashing applications.
The termination bar is used to secure flashing to an already existing back up wall or other type of supports.
Stainless Steel Dowel Caps are used when flashing is penetrated below coping stone in order to prevent moisture infiltration. | 2019-04-18T10:32:52 | http://krando.com/masonry/flashing/ |
If you were watching the videos that did the rounds when Halo Anniversary was announced you may recall the reference to the need for a Halo Reach Xbox title update. Here's some news on it.
The team at 343 Industries has been slaving away working on an update for “Halo: Reach” both to bring new experiences to fans as well as address feedback from the gaming community.
The most noticeable change on the way? The return of the lethal “Halo: Combat Evolved” Magnum pistol to “Halo: Anniversary” and “Halo: Reach” multiplayer gameplay. Certain hoppers will have this classic weapon in effect. 3 headshot kills from across the map anyone?
In addition, the update, which is targeted for release in October, will introduce several multiplayer fixes for “Halo: Reach” fans have been begging for.
The Armor Lock ability now absorbs a level of damage based on the amount of remaining energy a player has, diminishing its effectiveness.
Active Camo’s duration has been reduced somewhat and the ability to block sword attacks using any weapon other than another sword has been disabled.
And for fans of precision firing with weapons such as the DMR, reticle “bloom” is now configurable, delivering increased accuracy when firing in rapid succession.
This title update will also enable “Halo: Reach” gamers using an Xbox 360 4GB console without a HDD competent to utilize Campaign and Firefight matchmaking which previously required a HDD.
I suspect there will be a beta period as well before the update and any info gained from that would be fed into the update. | 2019-04-21T18:51:47 | https://www.gearsofhalo.com/2011/08/reach-title-update-news.html |
Trade shows are often such large events with companies bringing hundreds of dollars in goods that thefts are not all that uncommon. In order to prevent thieving hands from your trade show goods, you should take precautionary measures.
A simple turned back could result in a missing item. You should plan to have at least one other person run your booth with you. That way, if you do need to step away from your booth, you have a fellow co-worker to watch the station.
2. Have GPS trackers on Expensive Display Items.
You can consider having GPS trackers placed on high-value items so that you can track them down if they are stolen. If your item were stolen, you would be one step ahead of your thief.
Label your boxes so that the value of the items inside is masked. For example, if you have a box full of electronics, label them “pencils” or “bags”. A simple label can deter thieves who are looking for quick grabs.You can also consider labeling your boxes with a number code instead. In doing so, the contents inside also would not be obvious at a glance.
When the show is closed, valuable items should be stored away. Consider a video-monitoring service or consider hiring your own security or employee to stand watch while high-value items are being loaded into the company truck. For the staff’s personal items and company flash drives, you should have a locked box. If you decide not to opt for the locked box, instruct staff members to keep flash drives on their person at all times and their personal items in a safe place. Keep electronic devices with company information under watch; intellectual theft is also possible at a trade show, especially when there are competitors present.
Precautionary measures would be all for naught if the on-site trade shows staff are not prepared. If you will not be present at the trade show yourself, prepare a security package for your staff that includes tags, cables, cable locks, and information for preventing theft. The on-site staff should be aware of the dangers of trade show thefts and follow the precautionary measures. | 2019-04-24T10:19:38 | https://www.businessexpocenter.com/blogpost/584390/191190/5-Ways-to-Prevent-Trade-Show-Thefts |

This morning I was thinking about my cousin's upcoming wedding in NYC. It will be my first trip to the Big Apple and I am excited. And a little nervous but that's a whole other blog post.
Then my thoughts wandered to a wedding on my dad's side of the family this summer, a distant cousin. It's at the family's old homestead/farm that is still owned by distant family members.
Then, as thoughts are wont to do, they traveled down a different path. They were deceiving in their pursuit of a destination.
I didn't realize where they were going until it was too late. I was crouched under the spray of the shower crying.
An ache in my heart that I haven't felt in awhile.
I let it out, got out of the shower and got on with my day. I got a few things done around my house and then had this sudden desire to have tea. Tea with my Grandma.
I had had a day, a few weeks after she passed, where it hit me and I was so overwhelmed with sadness and grief. I just wanted to see her. To talk to her. To hear her tell me that she loved me. Just one more time.
It amazes me how it can hit you. Even just writing that last paragraph I'm sad. My throat hurts and I look at my screen through the blur of tears hitting for the second time today.
I went to talk to someone and shared that I had gotten a tea cup of hers.
This very smart person said, "So when you are feeling like you miss her, like you want to be with her, why not have tea with your Grandmother? Take out her tea cup and make yourself a cup of tea. Soak in the memories."
I was planning on sitting down and finally writing an original post today.
But decided to make myself that cup of tea first.

James John Neale looked up at the portrait of his father, that epitome of the Victorian Age, continuing to dominate all that he surveyed from his position hanging over the fireplace. George Neale II had been a hard taskmaster, but they got on much better now that James was able to monopolise the conversation – indeed it was rare these days to get any response at all. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Not that the exchanges were completely one-sided. Sometimes, late at night, as James smoked a post-prandial cigar in his study and swirled his brandy round in a snifter, he had the distinct and uncomfortable feeling that his father was watching him and, on one memorable occasion, a sidelong glance at the portrait caught his father raising an eyebrow at him in a most disdainful manner. That was the night James had decided to cut down on the brandy.
It was his grandfather, George Neale I, who had moved to St Mary Bourne from Dorset in the early nineteenth century, and set up shop as a carpenter and wheelwright.1 Either he had been able to bring a capital sum with him from Dorset, or his business prospered mightily, as he was able to buy the George Inn in the centre of the village (which had been going for at least 100 years, plot 54), which he put in his wife’s name. George and his wife lived, and had their carpenter’s shop, near the church in the Egbury Road (plot number 20 in the Tithe Map below, and they rented part of plot 23 behind as an orchard).
James never met his grandfather and had no recollection of his grandmother, who had died when he was only one year old. After George I’s death, Harriet Neale had continued the carpentry and wheelwright business right up until her own death twenty one years later, at the age of seventy-seven, with her unmarried daughter Ellen living with her and working as a dressmaker.
By 1861, her eldest son, George II, (the one in the portrait) had moved into his own house, set up as a grocer employing one man, and married the unfortunately named Olive Green (more amusing for her parents than for her, no doubt). James had been born at the end of 1860, the sixth and last child of his parents: he had an elder brother (inevitably called George) and four sisters.
By 1871, George II had branched out into farming and described himself as a ‘shopkeeper, wheelwright and occupier of 77 acres of land, employing two labourers and one boy’. He had also taken on the post office, as well as owning a grocer’s and a draper’s (the two were probably not in the same shop – it is hard to imagine buying cotton reels and cabbage together). And George III is described as a baker.
By 1878, George III has taken on Jamaica Farm, to the east of the village.
External as much as internal forces increasingly influenced the Victorian countryside. The poor harvests and deep depression especially in the arable sector in the 1820s and 1830s was followed by recovery as rising home markets took agriculture into a so-called ‘Golden Age’ from the late 1840s to the early 1870s. The dominance of wheat production ended as grain prices collapsed under the flood of cheap imports from the New World after 1875. Free trade meant that British farmers could not respond. Markets for stock and dairy products and perishable cash and fruit crops benefited from rising real wages and growing demand, but they too experienced foreign competition with the development of refrigeration and canning after 1870. The agricultural depression of the late 1880s and 1890s was widespread and crippling. It reflected the decline of agriculture’s share of national income from one-fifth in 1850 to one-twelfth by the 1980s.
In settling George III into Jamaica Farm, it had no doubt been George II’s intention to settle his eldest son into a lucrative business, which would allow him to live in relative comfort and continue to build the Neale family fortunes. The habit of primogeniture dies hard in the British male bosom.
By allocating the shop(s) and the post office to the younger of his two sons, James John, George II had presumably intended to leave him adequately provided for, but not to the same standard (or with the same social prestige) as George III. But fate and international markets had, as it turned out, decreed otherwise.
Poor George III. He had not done too badly in the end, he moved to Charlton Manor Farm and spent the next forty years or so in some comfort, married Agnes Withers and had nine children. When he died in 1938, he was to leave a respectable but not huge sum of £5,000.
And what of James John? Well, in 1911 he is listed as ‘Neale and Son, grocers, drapers, and sub-postmasters’. By 1920, he was to cross through the green baize door and be listed among the ‘Private Residents’ in Kelly’s Directory as the owner of Hilliers Lodge in Stoke.
No wonder George II raised a quizzical eyebrow at him from time to time.
1 George Neale the first died at the age of 45 and was buried in the churchyard of St Peter’s Church, St Mary Bourne, on 13 October 1840. A copy of his will (1841B/42) is held in the Hampshire Record Office; it gives his occupation as carpenter and wheelwright. | 2019-04-24T08:46:44 | https://stmarybournegoestowar.net/tag/egbury-road/ |

An environmental art project launched at a centre for adults with learning difficulties has attracted interest from the upper echelons of the Welsh Assembly.
The sculptor Richard Houghton and service users at Tyddyn Môn, on Anglesey, have been building artworks with stuff that has been thrown away.
The project is titled "Heglu", which translates as "legging it", and is funded by the Arts Council for Wales.
Richard, who teaches at Coleg Menai, said: "I get a real buzz from discovering materials that other people have thrown away. The materials inspire the final shape and form of my sculptures.
"Reusing materials is a key theme in my work, but Heglu is also about others responding to and modifying my sculptures, and the people at Tyddyn Môn have been great at this."
The project, which is being documented by the photographer Tom Simone, has created a lot of interest and even prompted a visit from Welsh Assembly officials.
Jane Davidson, Welsh Assembly minister for environment, sustainability and housing, said: "Sending waste to landfill sites to rot is no longer an option and we must look at ways of reducing, re-using and recycling.
"Heglu is a good example of how people can take up the challenge. It helps illustrate what can be done to make Wales greener and more sustainable."
As part of the project Richard will build a large sculpture which will be exhibited at Anglesey tip.
The waste management division of Anglesey Council, which has been very successful in rolling out its recycling collection schemes, is a partner in the project.
The work created at Tyddyn Môn will be exhibited at the Ucheldre Centre in Holyhead later in the year, as well as other venues around Wales. | 2019-04-22T14:54:50 | https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/local-news/anglesey-art-project-attracts-welsh-2792132 |

Bad news for objective journalism: Jim Acosta is back in the White House. Federal judge Timothy J. Kelly recently forced the Trump administration to reinstate the CNN reporter’s press pass, meaning he is allowed to resume his duties as the cable network’s White House correspondent.
President Donald Trump responded thoughtfully, defending the “total freedom of the press,” but also urging Acosta and other reporters to show respect on the job.
Which is exactly the point. Trump has nothing against journalism as a profession. If anything, his media savvy transformed him into one of America’s most successful businessmen. The president sees the value in a free press, as long as the media is objectively holding elected officials accountable.
The White House’s gripe is with biased reporters who — rather than reporting the news — grandstand during news conferences to promote their own careers and failing cable news networks.
The establishment media routinely relies on “gotcha” questions, misleading headlines and outright hit pieces to undermine the Trump agenda for political purposes.
Trump didn’t describe the media as “the enemy of the people”; that designation was for the “‘fake news media” — the left-leaning mainstream media that sheds its objectivity for open hostility.
Jim Acosta, who regularly disrespects White House officials like Sanders and interrupts other reporters, is the poster child for “fake news.” Obsessed with himself — and himself only — Acosta’s petulant child routine has not only disrupted numerous White House events, but also prevented more objective journalists from doing their jobs. His abrasive interruptions only stop reasonable questions from being asked.
Unfortunately, Acosta is not alone. Everyday Americans are daily bombarded with combative headlines that denigrate Trump as stupid, evil, or both.
Do you think Jim Acosta belongs in the White House press corps?
Rather than bemoaning the White House’s so-called “threat to democracy,” the liberal media would be better served getting its own house in order. Factual errors and embarrassing retractions only erode trust in an institution that has deserved none in recent years.
According to Gallup, nearly 70 percent of Americans claim their trust in the news media has declined over the last decade. This certainly applies to Republicans (94 percent) and independents (65 percent), but even to a sizable chunk of Democrats (46 percent).
That’s right: Even many Democrats can see the liberal media for the Democratic super PAC it has become.
Is it any wonder the president calls out “fake news”? Distrust of the media is perhaps the only issue that can unite Democrats, Republicans and independents, which means it’s a winning issue for the White House.
An extra serving of Jim Acosta is just another victory for President Trump. Just keep being yourself, Jimmy.
Ted Harvey is chairman of the Committee to Defend the President. | 2019-04-18T19:16:58 | https://www.westernjournal.com/jim-acosta-back-white-house-bad-news-objective-journalism/ |
It looks like Michael B. Jordan left a good impression on boxer Tony Bellew when they starred in Creed together.
Bellew, who played Adonis Creed rival “Pretty” Ricky Conlan in the film, scored a high-profile upset over the weekend, defeating WBA heavyweight champion David Haye in a bout on Saturday at O2 Arena in London.
But Bellew didn’t just defeat Haye—he literally knocked him out of the ring.
The fight was a pretty brutal one. Both fighters ended up suffering injuries during the course of the bout, with Bellew breaking his hand early on and Haye suffering an Achilles injury in the sixth round. | 2019-04-21T00:15:02 | https://www.mensjournal.com/sports/watch-creed-boxer-tony-bellew-scores-stunning-upset-knocking-david-haye-out-ring/ |

Year_of_the_Fox: And so begins the third stage of our brainwashing program-- I mean Happy Home Hunting Articles! We're here again to show you everything you didn't need to know about places to build a home!
Extreme_fj0rd: Or rather, everything you do need to know. Or don't. Whichever. I'm Fj0rd, this is Fox, and we're on location right now, on a little tiny place we missed before.
Fox: Yup. We're here in the land of dice and gambling! Roo Island!... Wee woo... There's not really much here.
Fj0rd: There's a Merry-Go-Round! Perfect for young pets or Baby-painted ones. Or even older pets/owners... um... Fox, may I be excused to go ride the Merry-go-round?
Fox: Beh. Go ahead. But really. If you wanna bet away all of your money, come here. All the games involve chance and a large chance of it is losing all your neopoints and living in a box begging.
Fj0rd: Or getting an awesome avatar. But yeah, there isn't much here on Roo Island. Let's move on... after I'm done riding this Merry-go-round.
In any case. We'll get right back on course and go south, then east a little ways, then up. To the land in the clouds full of weird creatures with wings and are entirely too optimistic. Faerieland.
Fj0rd: "Entirely too optimistic"? You haven't ever met _Yrael, have you... by the way, I'm back from the Merry-go-round.
Fox: Ehem... Yeah. Anyways. Faerieland. You start on this. Optimists first.
Fj0rd: Ah, very well. Faerieland is an awesome place, full of poofy clouds that are beautiful to look at or just to sit on. Also, since it hovers several hundred feet above the ocean, there's a wonderful view of the sunrise and sunset every day. And who wouldn't want to live somewhere where they could walk down to the store and be in line with a Fire Faerie, an Air Faerie, and an Earth Faerie all at the same time? You'd also be very close to the Hidden Tower, which would be really groovy.
Fox: If you can even find the Hidden Tower. Though I guess if you run right into it you've found it. If you have flying pets that's a problem. And if you have little baby pets I say AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Because you can fall off the edge very easily. And... if you have a Grarrl or a Skeith stay away too... they might... you know... fall though the clouds.
Fj0rd: True, the.. sturdier pets might have a bit of a problem, but where better to put your baby pets than in a playpen made of clouds? You wouldn't have to go so far to give quest items to the Uber-Faeries, either.
Fox: Don't come if you're afraid of heights either. I mean... whoa... Fj0rd... Can we go now?
Fj0rd: You concede that Faerieland is a good place to live, then?
Fj0rd: Aww, little Fox can't handle the heights. Oh, okay, we can move along.
Fj0rd: Yes, well, I guess everyone was too scared to go past the Haunted Woods. (Which we just missed, by the way.) Anyway, the Lost Desert is great for you beach Cybunnies. Sand and sun all year around! There are some pretty nifty games here, too, like Pyramids and Sakhmet Solitaire. Also, there's currently a plot going on, adding an edge of excitement.
Fox: Fj0rd. Hate to dampen your parade... but if this isn't a good place for beach Cybunnies.
Fj0rd: Ha-HA! There isn't any rain in the Lost Desert for you to dampen my parade with! Triumph! Triumph!
Fox: ... Fj0rd. There isn't water. Period. Meaning this isn't a place for beach Cybunnies. Anyways. If you want to live here, bring sunscreen, and lots of it. Also any time you go out bring rope, in case you get swallowed in the sand. Oh. And bring a canteen of water. And a map. And a compass. Because out there there is a whole lot of nothing! And if you get lost... too bad. You're dead.
Fj0rd: There is so water! There's an inlet!
Fox: AN inlet. AN. Meaning ONE. Meaning YOU'LL DIE if you can't get your water rations. So be fast and get there early.
Fj0rd: Well... Terror Mountain doesn't have any inlets at all! So ha! Erm, shall we move on?
Fox: Fj0rd. Terror Mountain has SNOW which is frozen water. But next we have the possibly worst place to live. Haunted Woods. OoooooOooo Scary. It's a sign. I know it.
Fj0rd: Sure it's scary, but have you ever actually known anyone who disappeared there? No, it's always a friend of a friend of a friend. The Scary Woods are just... scary. Yeah.
Fox: Fj0rd... What are you talking about? There have been tons of neopets who disappeared! THEY WERE EATEN! By the Jelly Chia. I mean. The Haunted Woods is the H.Q. for the villains of Neopia. It's like... BAD. And it's dark. Really dark. No gardening there. Nope. And you become really pale and then you get lost in the woods and then you DIE.
Fj0rd: Yes, that's what people say, but have you ever actually known someone who disappeared? It's what's called an "urban legend", Fox. Except in this it's more... a rural legend.
Fox: But still. This is not safe. Not at all. Bad bad bad. Don't move here! Unless you have a death wish.
Fox: Oh... You're right. We've been everywhere. Well then. I think we've successfully procured a large army of mindless drones-- I mean given people a good idea of where to build their neohomes!
Fj0rd: Exactly! Now, drones, follow me--er, you can stop reading now. Now. Er... now. Now!
Fox: Are you still reading? Go and follow Fj0rd!... I mean... Go out and have fun Home Hunting!... Fox; out.
Really, what are the odds? | 2019-04-26T04:05:32 | http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=152363&week=218 |

So, keep your eyes on the prize. Nothing surprising there.
But, by my reading anyway, the Secretary General was in fact saying something quite radical. The collective impact of UN agencies is undermined by each one pursuing narrow institutional concerns. This is not particular to the UN: organisational egos too often get in the way of achieving those organisations’ shared goals.
Whether you’re dealing with cybercrime or human trafficking, climate change or the global refugee crisis, the change you’re seeking won’t be achieved by any one organisation, no matter how powerful – not even the UN. The change will come from collaboration across a network – but only if disparate actors are brought together strategically around a common mission.
In the standard operating procedure for working in networks to achieve change, there’s a commonly-occurring flaw: the first question that each organisation, agency, or individual asks – quite understandably – is ‘what can I do to fix this problem?’ Constructed in this way, though, one key question doesn’t get asked until it’s too late: are our efforts sufficient or even necessary to deliver the change you’re seeking?
Your goal is to deliver change in the world. So that’s where the conversation needs to start: what is the change we’re seeking, how will that specific change come about, and who is best placed to effect that change or to influence the decision-makers?
The challenge is that traditional modes of organising are focused on maximising agreement and minimising friction, rather than maximising impact. Changing that won’t necessarily happen without some determined effort by specific individuals. That’s why what the Secretary General says is so exciting: with his leadership, he can change the way the UN works with others (and with itself, across the agencies) to overcome global problems.
Serve the cause, not the coalition, and not an institutional interest. Ideally this should be the case for any coalition member, but it should certainly be the case for the convenor. Sometimes even one person, entrusted and actively empowered by a network to crowdsource strategy and lead its implementation, can transform the network’s impact. That convenor can increase the trust put in them by committing to avoid any public profile for themselves and focus only on building coalitions for maximum impact.
Listen and lead: the strategic convenor should demonstrate humility to seek out and hear others’ wisdom to crowdsource insights to build the strategy, but also have the audacity to rally coalitions to more ambitious goals and the determination to propose the way forward that will achieve greatest impact.
Avoid the lowest common denominator by building opt-in coalitions: in order to be effective, it’s not necessary for everyone in the network to agree. You just need the opt-in of a committed group of sufficient talents who share a vision of how change will happen.
Create bespoke coalitions: different decision-makers listen to different constituencies. Different arguments can be better made by different voices, be they business, faith, grassroots, tech, humanitarian, or anything else. The world isn’t one-size-fits-all, so nor should your coalitions be.
Applying these lessons has overcome intractable challenges for people living in warzones – helping secure agreement for the peacekeeping mission in Central African Republic and for aid to reach cities in Syria, sometimes for the first time in years. And it can help unlock effective collaboration on other causes where collective action is not cracking the problem at hand. As the Secretary General said in London, ‘[t]he truth is that there is no way to address these problems if you don’t do it in an integrated way.’ Advancing justice in the current world disorder will require us to work together – so let’s do it in a way that turns our individual efforts into smarter, more creative, more powerful collaborations.

WordPress became the most widely known company at the end of 2012 when it announced that it would accept bitcoins for payments of WordPress.com upgrades. Since then, additional services for website developers such as domain registration and hosting have also become available to bitcoin payments. Providing another opportunity for website developers, London based WordPress company Kinsta, has announced today that they now accept bitcoin payments for their services. Recently going public, Kinsta, is a new arrival to WordPress Hosting, with around 100 users of their services.
In launching bitcoin payments, Kinsta has partnered with Coinbase, using their merchant payment solutions from Coinbase, the technology allows users to pay via subscriptions for WordPress hosting. A representative for Kinsta explained to DC Magnates that once authenticated with Coinbase, monthly payments are made automatically. They added that in the event of funds not being available, there is a one week grace period during which multiple alerts are sent to the user.
In regards to companies accepting bitcoins, web related products are one of the better matches as they are a service based, with many designers and developers themselves receiving bitcoins for work they conduct for global contractors. | 2019-04-24T18:06:08 | https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/innovation/kinsta-announced-bitcoin-accepted-for-wordpress-hosting/ |
This high altitude trek through the Abraspungo – Chimborazo Area is suited for those who are in good shape and enjoy mellow hiking through the Andes.
This trek starts at 3200m and leads up into the vallay called Abraspungo, passing through agriculture land. This valley was created by glacier carving in the past and now separates the sister mountains of Chimborazo and Carihuairazo.
During this hike you will reach a maximum height of 4000m before dropping back down to 3000m. The entire trek follows dry trails and leads through a wonderful paramo region known for its own distinct high alpine wildlife. On nice clear days this trek offers great views of the all-powerful and impressive Chimborazo as well as other snow-capped volcanoes in the lower lying valleys.
We leave Quito in the morning and drive south on the Pan-American till we arrive after a 4-hour ride at Urbina, a small rural village close the old railway track, halfway between Ambato and Riobamba. Close in the vicinity on a local farm we set up camp. In the afternoon we will explore the farming area and its many animals.
After breakfast we begin our adventure leaving the farming community of Urbina and hikeing up the valley of Abraspungo. The valley leeds to the pass between Chimborazo and Carihuairazo.
This stretch takes 5 hours on a well-constructed trail, crossing some small creeks until we finally reach a place called Siete Vueltas, at an altitude of 3800m. Here we will sleep at the Urcu Huasi refuge. Later in the afternoon we hike around the surrounding hills to explore the area and get to know the interesting plants and observe birds, like eagles or the famed caracaras. We also get a better and closer look of Carihuairazo with its rugged top.
On this last day, we will hike up to the refuge of Chimborazo. The road leads through a region with sparse vegetation but populated by the beautiful vicuñas, the most graceful of the Llamas animals. From there we will have the massive glacier of Chimborazo right in front of us. After lunch we set out for the 4 hour drive by jeep back to Quito.

One of the great things about my multigenre fiction magazine, Fireside, has been watching a community grow up around it as we have spent the past year funding it through Kickstarters.
By using crowdfunding to create a magazine, we have — inevitably, in retrospect — created a crowd around it. It is pretty awesome.
We see things like people who are collecting the coasters my wife makes that we have offered for rewards. People who have been drawn into illustrations in each issue. And then there’s Anthony, the only backer whose name has been used in a story in every issue. It’s really fun having these common threads running through Fireside, like seeing family every time you get together.
We’re hoping to keep this community together as we move into our next phase: relaunching Fireside as a monthly website and ebook. We’re running a Kickstarter now to fund the entire year at once, as opposed to the three issues we funded one at a time last year. It’s been a lot of fun doing it that way, but it’s time to create some stability and certainty in this experiment in publishing great fiction and in paying writers well.
Our plan for each issue in our second year is to have two flash-length stories, two short stories, and an episode of a serial experiment by Chuck Wendig. We have a terrific slate writers for the short stories: M. Bennardo, Jennifer Campbell-Hicks, Karina Cooper, Jonas David, Delilah S. Dawson, A.E. Decker, Steven J. Dines, Adam P. Knave, Ken Liu, James McGee, Jason Ridler , and Lilith Saintcrow. We already have eight of their short stories in, and they cover a wide array of genres. They are also awesome.
It will all be offered on a website being designed by Pablo Defendini, with a focus on simplicity and on readability on screens of any size. There will be ebooks too, for those who prefer to read e-ink and not a glowing screen.
If we do fund successfully by our deadline of March 5, we will be opening to flash fiction submissions on March 15. We will be re-opening to short story submissions as well in the future, sometime after we get Year Two going on July 1.
Our hope is to use this Kickstarter to give us the bridge to start moving to subscriptions as our main source of revenue, but I hope our community stays close and excited as we continue to create art together. It’s been so gratifying that people believe in us. They are the spark that brought Fireside to life.
What Brian didn’t mention is that as of this posting, there’s still a little over $15,000 in pledges to raise in 12 days. Here’s the link to the Kickstarter campaign. Help us get this thing funded, so there are more chances for me to see characters named after me! | 2019-04-19T01:06:56 | https://www.anthonycardno.com/blog/tag/fundraiser |
I’m a Photographer from South Yorkshire. I’ve always had a passion for landscape photography and the great outdoors. My images are influenced by both my background and interests in travel and the environment.
Over time I’ve devloped a preference for black & white over colour and natural light and locations over a studio. My work is produced mainly on film.
Born and raised in South Yorkshire and now living in Sowerby, West Yorkshire, my work showcases the best of this county, as well as covering much of the UK and Europe. With the Pennines and North Yorkshire right on my doorstep, I hope to draw inspiration from this gorgeous part of the country and from the people I meet. I have explored many styles over the past eight years, Macro, Portrait and Street but my heart always goes back to Landscape photography.
I have exhibited in local and national galleries and have featured in Digital Photographer and Digital SLR User magazines. My work has also been used at various musical events both as projections and for publicity materials, Album covers and posters. More recently I have produced works for local companies and private individuals. In 2014 I was commended in the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition, featuring in the book and exhibition at London’s Waterloo.
All of my photographs are available to purchase. I print all of my photographs using state of the art digital Ink on epson luster paper (100 years) using Ultra K3 Epson ink. The photographs are dry mounted and come in limited editions of 40. All of my prints are embossed, matted and if required they can be framed, all are finally signed and numbered by myself.
If you are interested in licensing my work, a selection of my images are now available though Millenium Images and Trigger Image.
I am certainly a firm believer that it is the photographer not the camera that makes a great shot. People often ask so I though I’d give a quick run down on what I currently use.
My digital kit comprises of a Fuji Xpro 2, various Fuji X lenses along with the Seven5 Lee Filter system. On the film front I own a Leica M6 with a 28mm Elmarit, 50mm Summicron and toy cameras including a Holga, a Diana black jack + and a pinhole cameras.
My love for photography started to develop in childhood and later on became, along with Music, my biggest passion. I think I have always seen the world as pictures and frames. I love landscapes; nature and long walks along with photography give me a lot of satisfaction and happiness – often feeling like I’m creating my own, small world. Sometimes it may feel surreal or messed up, pieces of my imagination mixed with landscape and the miracle of nature.
At school I used to spend hours drawing with pencils, back then this was a passion. The drawings were always landscapes, often mixed with fantasy and that has influenced me all my life. My first camera was a Russian Zenit 11. I used to watch my friends who had cameras and learn from them. I was around 13 at this time. As my teens progressed my interest in creating music began to quickly take over, studying Music and writing/recording with various bands. I’ve been a musician, performer and songwriter ever since. I also qualified as a teacher in 2004 so photography took a back seat until I got my first SLR Digital in 2008. Now I do all three. Why not?
I naturally started out with dark, broody landscapes, as this was the closest thing to what is in my head. The Yorkshire Coast has definitely inspired me, wild seas, rocks and the large brooding skies. I have an obsession for photographing clouds and bad weather. I’m lucky enough to live near both the Pennines and the North Yorkshire Coastline, two places I photograph often. I also love long walks and discovering new places and that all influences my photography.
Even as a 13 year old I was drawn to looking at the world in black & white. Although I’ve used color sometimes, in the past, I just prefer black and white. I once read the concept, “no color, no lie,”, I like this and believe it. I’ve always found colour really distracting in my photography. I’m colourblind too. I find the creative process with black and white images more artistic, raw, stripped back. My Black and White images tend to be strong, high contrast and sometimes powerful – I’m working on soft, gentle and subtle!
Currently I have a lot of plans for the future. I am going to broaden my horizons, working more with film photography again and showing different sides to the landscapes, focusing more on people, life and the environments in which they live. I would also like to work with artists and look at different ways of presenting photography. Also, combining the photography with music I make is another route I’m finally exploring more. | 2019-04-21T16:46:55 | http://rorygarforth.com/about/ |

After several high-profile instances of skyrocketing drug costs—like Martin Schkreli’s unconscionable increase in the price of a drug used to treat AIDS related conditions—Maryland passed a law that banned pharmaceutical companies from price gouging generic drugs. The Fourth Circuit, however, recently held that the Maryland law violates the Dormant Commerce Clause Doctrine’s extraterritoriality principle by regulating sales in other states. The court’s ruling depends of a broad reading of the Maryland law. According to the court, the law applies to the sale of any drug that is also made available for sale in Maryland, even if the drugs at issue were not bound for the state. In other words, Maryland is regulating sales in other states simply because identical pills are being sold in Maryland.
Assuming that the Fourth Circuit’s reading of the statute is correct (Judge Wynn, who writes a lengthy dissenting opinion, disagrees with the majority’s interpretation), its constitutional analysis is correct as well. The extraterritoriality principle of the DCCD prohibits a state from directly regulating conduct outside its borders. The Maryland law should have been written more narrowly so that it applied only to sales within the state.
The Fourth Circuit’s opinion, however, could be read to suggest that even such a limited law might be unconstitutional because it would have the “practical effect” of controlling conduct beyond the state’s borders. As I have argued at length in a recent law review article, I think that would be wrong. State regulations often have practical effects beyond their borders. In my view, a state’s regulation of in-state conduct should violate the extraterritoriality principle only when it: (1) inescapably has the practical effect of regulating conduct beyond the state’s borders; and (2) such regulated extraterritorial conduct lacks a corresponding in-state interest. A narrower law that was tied to sales in Maryland would easily fit this test because the state would clearly have an interest in the sale of pills bound for its citizens.
As the Fourth Circuit mentions, one state should not be permitted to regulate the country. The extraterritoriality doctrine is needed to protect each state from overreach by other states. I think Judge Wynn’s dissent is therefore wrong when he essentially argues that the extraterritoriality is dead or should be read as narrowly as possible. However, state sovereignty demands that states be able to protect their interests, even if doing so has some indirect extraterritorial effects. The courts therefore need to strike a balance between state sovereignty and interstate harmony. I tried to do that in my law review article, but I don’t see it in the Fourth Circuit’s opinion. | 2019-04-19T22:37:08 | https://www.thefacultylounge.org/2018/04/the-fourth-circuit-holds-that-marylands-attempt-to-stop-pharmaceutical-price-gouging-is-unconstituti.html |

We offer comprehensive emergency services, disaster restoration, and reconstruction services for healthcare facilities through our healthcare division, Cousino Medical Services.
Healthcare facilities have very specific needs, and we have the specialized training, equipment, and experience to provide comprehensive restoration services while implementing infection control and containment procedures. At Cousino Medical Services, we know and understand the importance of containment and infection control when working with healthcare facilities and have the necessary training and equipment to minimize risks during the cleanup and restoration process.
The risk of healthcare-associated infections goes up during periods of construction, renovation, or property restoration. At Cousino Medical Services, we implement a two part approach to limit the spread of infection through containment and disinfection services.
Effective containment serves multiple purposes in a healthcare facility. First, containment is the first line of defense against spreading infection. Our containment systems are easily cleaned and disinfected and limit the spread of airborne pathogens.
Containment also limits noise and dust from construction activities and provides a visual barrier for a more positive and professional appearance. Our containment systems are safe and secure.
All of the equipment that we use for healthcare facilities is disinfected and stored separately from our general restoration equipment. We take additional steps to ensure our equipment is clean and free of any pathogens before we even enter your building.

A liver cleansing diet will help you recondition your liver and put your health back on track. Learn how you can incorporate foods and herbs into a structured regimen, that will help you stay clear from dangerous illnesses and health related problems.
The liver is a very important organ of the body, seeing that it takes on the responsibility of carrying out vital functions for the system. Not only does it help the body flush out dangerous toxins, but it helps it absorb omega fatty acids, oversees one's sugar levels and cholesterol, maintains and controls the metabolism, regulates weight loss hormones, keeps the immune system in check, releases energy, and so on.
It does a whole lot more for our body, and a majority of people do not realize how heavy a load the liver has to take on, in making sure our body does not crash. When the liver is put at risk, it automatically affects other organs like the colon and bowel system, making cells within our body toxic with no hope of releasing these from the body. The reason this happens is because the main detoxifying organ fails to do its part because of the presence of health altering toxins in it.
We are oblivious to the things we put into our system, where stress and other daily external exposures to pollutants, fuel the liver to work under tensity. Even when it comes to being overweight, the body cannot clear the system from toxins fast enough, so it stores the toxins within the cells in the hope of destroying them eventually. The only major problem here is, if one continues his bad eating habits, and doesn't really better external situations, how can the liver eliminate the oncoming toxins as well? That way, the toxic elements build up over time, making it hard for one to lose weight, live illness free, or maintain an overall unimpaired system.
A liver cleansing tea will do you a lot of good, since it helps to detoxify the system using an outside stimulator, like herbs. Even foods rich in nutrients and minerals that help cleanse the system will benefit you greatly.
You can use herbs meant for blood cleaning like cayenne pepper or lemon juice, to give the tea added flavor. Using dried chamomile flowers, have this sit in a boiling mug of water for about 3 minutes, to permeate the water with all its liver cleansing properties. Strain the flowers, and have the tea combined with a sprig of mint.
Once you start off on a liver cleansing diet, it is important to spread out these foods over the course of the week. Portion control is key here, so go easy on these items and also make sure you stay clear from the foods to avoid. Over time, you will notice how you feel more energized and refreshed as your body slowly backtracks to its healthy self. Eat nutritious meals in small portions, and incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables into your diet plan.
The cleansing diet for your liver will prove to be a lifesaver in the long haul. Don't ignore signs like falling ill frequently or having trouble getting through the day without feeling malaise. Have these recurring symptoms checked out with your doctor and take care of them pronto. Have a healthy tomorrow. | 2019-04-25T13:01:42 | https://holisticzine.com/liver-cleansing-tea |

Thanks for continually providing one of the most interesting blogs in science (and politics).
Her measurements and math may have nothing to do with the material you present here, but I thought perhaps some of these new findings might go along with the fascinating ideas you propose.
And these new measurements show the barycenter of the MilkyWay to be in a different place and to move depending on the movements of the Local Group.
Anyway, just wanted to share and to say thank you again. Your blog makes each day more interesting.
In 44 years the difference between the numbers of lunar sidereal months and solar Carrington rotations is 1.
89 beats in 44 years is one per 0.494382 years, just under half a year (88/44 = 2).
So in 616 years there would be 89 * 14 beats.
14 beats = 6.923148 years and 89 is a Fibonacci number. | 2019-04-25T16:18:29 | https://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2017/10/28/why-phi-solar-and-lunar-rotation/ |
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has begun uranium enrichment at a new underground site well protected from possible airstrikes, a leading hardline newspaper reported Sunday.
Kayhan daily, which is close to Iran's ruling clerics, said Tehran has begun injecting uranium gas into sophisticated centrifuges at the Fordo facility near the holy city of Qom.
Uranium enrichment lies at the heart of Iran's dispute with the West. The technology can be used to produce nuclear fuel, but also materials for atomic bombs.
The U.S. and other countries accuse Iran of developing weapons, but Tehran says it only seeks reactors for energy and research, and refuses to halt its uranium enrichment activities.
"Kayhan received reports yesterday that show Iran has begun uranium enrichment at the Fordo facility amid heightened foreign enemy threats," the paper said in a front-page report. Kayhan's manager is a representative of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
But Iran's nuclear chief Fereidoun Abbasi said late Saturday that his country will "soon" begin enrichment at Fordo. It was impossible to immediately reconcile the two reports.
Iran has a major uranium enrichment facility in Natanz in central Iran where nearly 8,000 centrifuges are operating. Tehran began enrichment at Natanz in April 2006.
The Fordo centrifuges however are reportedly more efficient, and the site better shielded from aerial attack.
Both the U.S. and Israel have not ruled out a military strike should Iran continue with its program.
Tehran however says it needs its enrichment program to produce fuel for future nuclear reactors and medical radioisotopes needed for cancer patients.
The country has been enriching uranium to less than 5 percent for years, but it began to further enrich part of its uranium stockpile to nearly 20 percent as of February 2010, saying it needs the higher grade material to produce fuel for a Tehran reactor that makes medical radioisotopes needed for cancer patients. Weapons-grade uranium is usually about 90 percent enriched.
Iran says the higher enrichment activities — of nearly 20 percent — will be carried out at Fordo. These operations are of particular concern to the West because uranium at 20 percent enrichment can be converted into fissile material for a nuclear warhead much more quickly than that at 3.5 percent.
Buried under 300 feet (90 meters) of rock, the facility is a hardened tunnel and is protected by air defense missile batteries and the Revolutionary Guard, Iran's most powerful military force. The site is located about 12 miles (20 kilometers) north of Qom, the religious nerve center of Iran's ruling system.
"The Fordo facility, like Natanz, has been designed and built underground. The enemy doesn't have the ability to damage it," the semiofficial Mehr news agency quoted Abbasi as saying Sunday. | 2019-04-26T00:33:20 | https://www.newsmax.com/finance/pendergraft/option-traders-optimistic/2012/01/24/id/425287/ |

CALGARY, Dec. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ – Horizon North Logistics Inc. (“Horizon North” or the “Corporation”) (TSX – HNL) is pleased to provide an update on the Corporation’s modular solutions operations and commentary on recent business developments.
Horizon North is gaining traction on its modular solutions offering and continues to add certainty to its project portfolio for 2018 and beyond. As of December 21, 2017, backlog in the Modular Solutions division sits at $32.3 million with high probability line of sight to an additional $148.5 million of projects. These amounts represent a series of development projects including government sponsored social infrastructure and affordable housing, multi-phased condominiums, hotels, Aboriginal housing and commercial infrastructure, and Karoleena residential homes.
Earlier this year, the Corporation completed an affordable housing project for the Vancouver Affordable Housing Agency (“VAHA”) and the City of Vancouver (the “City”). In October 2017, the City approved a recommendation authorizing VAHA to negotiate an agreement or agreements with Horizon North for design, manufacturing and installation of up to 600 temporary-modular affordable housing units on locations to be selected by the City, at a total cost of up to $66 million, funded by the BC Housing Management Commission (“BC Housing”).
To date, contracts representing $14.4 million across multiple sites have been executed, with units scheduled to be delivered through the end of 2017 and into the first half of 2018. The Corporation continues to work closely with VAHA and the City to move additional sites into contract phase as they become available.
Manufacturing operations previously conducted under the legal entity of the Horizon North Camp & Catering Partnership are being transferred to a newly incorporated, wholly owned entity: Horizon North Modular Solutions Inc. The transfer of design, engineering, manufacturing and construction operations to this new entity on January 1, 2018 will complete Horizon North’s strategy of bifurcating its business into two distinct operating divisions, Modular Solutions and Industrial Services. This ensures the Corporation’s legal structure reflects these operations to best serve its customers.
“With design, engineering, manufacturing and construction under one roof, Horizon North’s residential and commercial customers will be working with an even more cohesive Modular Solutions team as we execute on their vision,” says Rod Graham, Horizon North’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

The 10 principles that distinguish effective leaders in life and business.
The core trait that we should always keep at the center of our being -- for every decision and every interaction.
Vision, Innovation, and Management aren't enough without this one thing which has the power to make or break your leadership -- whether you're leading a university, non-profit or business.
Dr. William R. Harvey has served as President of Hampton University for 40 years. During his tenure, he has introduced innovations that have solidified Hampton's stellar position among the nation's colleges and universities. His extraordinary leadership is reflected in the growth and quality of the University's student population, academic programs, physical facilities and financial base.
Hampton University has built the first proton therapy cancer treatment center in the Commonwealth of Virginia -- an unparalled hub for cancer treatment, research and technology.
An astute businessman, Dr. Harvey has applied his business acumen to the needs of Hampton University. In the process, he established student scholarships, created jobs, provided services, and increased the number of African-American entrepreneurs, while expanding the tax base in the City of Hampton.
In addition to the distinguished leadership Dr. Harvey has provided to Hampton University, he is the sole owner of the Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Houghton, Michigan.
"Some books help leaders move from good to great, but rare is the occasion to read insight from a figure who has moved from good to great, and to greatest of all time. The Harvey Leadership Model is a must read for anyone considering the loftiest heights of achievement in any organization." | 2019-04-25T00:21:56 | https://smartini.leadpages.co/principlesofleadershipfinal/ |

Here's a nice early Christmas (or late Hanukkah) present -- a free album from Lloyd Miller of New York's Deedle Deedle Dees. It's a bunch of recordings from Miller's community sing-a-longs in Brooklyn this November. They're chaotic, and I'm pretty sure that if he'd have done this in December (or January, or June) it would've sounded different. They're also lots of fun (who wouldn't to sing along with the version of "Wheels on the Bus"?), and I don't think that changes from month to month. Pick it up here for the price of an e-mail, or just stream it below.

This weekend I returned to Wales for a catch up with family on friends.
On Saturday, my Sister, Niece and I visited Cardiff Bay.
We had a fun morning exploring along the boardwalks, checking out the buildings like the Customs House and Welsh Assembly and saw a wedding being celebrated at the Norweigan Church. I enjoy visits to Cardiff Bay because it shows what can be done with careful thought and planning. From an area that nobody visited when I left Cardiff in 1987, to a bustling interesting area, packed with people and activities. What a change over the years.
There's even a picture of me for a change! | 2019-04-25T23:59:27 | http://jonathansbloglifeanddentistrycombined.blogspot.com/2014/08/ |

When the display (screen) on your Audi A8/S8 no longer opens properly, jams or is making strange noises then the likely culprit is one of the three plastic gears, which often break or are excessively worn. Most of the time these gears fail in a specific order (1, 3 and then 2).

Whatever you’re planning this Valentine’s day – breakfast in bed or a romantic picnic- you’ll want to make sure you’ve got the essentials. Lace, gold, chocolates and blush.
Woohoo it is time to start shopping for all your loved ones! I love the process of searching, buying, gift wrapping and then finally giving someone their gift. Although my biggest weekness is keeping quiet once I’ve bought something! I hope that my gift recommendations might spark an idea and help you find that perfect something for someone else, or yourself. Because who said you can’t buy something from Santa to you?

I can relate to some of what you are going through. My husband and I moved to the RGV from CT just over 10 years ago. While he was going to school here he spent 3 summers with our son up in CT living with family and working a retail job that here would have paid $4 something an hour but up there paid $8-$10 an hour. The funny thing is that due to the cost of living we couldn't have afforded to live there as a family which is why we ended up here.
I've been in the valley for just over 10 years now. It wasn't until the last two that I began to not only appreciate the culture in the valley but have also come to enjoy the variety now offered due to the growth the valley has experienced.
Hi, Wendy. Thanks for reading and I appreciate your shared experience. Things have improved tremendously in the RGV in recent years. My only desire is that there would be more well-paying jobs in the RGV to match. | 2019-04-25T00:14:38 | http://www.rgv-life.com/2006/08/slow-sunday.html |
This is a brave man. Despite the fact that the engine on his circa 1980 Ford Fairmont sounds like a sewing machine and is clearly about to explode, he takes it to the drag strip and sprays nitrous through the whole run.
After running a 10.20, the tech guy tells him to cool it (because he doesn't have a cage), so the driver promises to keep it over 11.50. Of course once he's back in the dingy, stained interior of his fantastic Malaise mobile, he unveils his secret plot to break into the 9s on the last run. | 2019-04-22T19:59:51 | https://jalopnik.com/watch-this-ready-to-explode-ford-fairmont-run-10-20-in-5929590 |
Anybody had knowledge about this webhost using their services and merchant option?
Some hosts lie about several things (like limitless bandwidth) and i believe the main one time fee may be the greatest lie of. It may sound so inviting, for around $200-$250, you've taken care of an eternity and services information. It appears just like a deal too good to pass through on.
This is the hook. It's one other way some hosts have of having annually or even more and services information taken care of in advance. Regrettably, none of those companies appear to provide on their own promises.
Think about this. The monthly charges they've for Access to the internet continue each month, and that is several 1000 dollars annually. If their service was worthwhile, they'd have in all probability enough clients without offering these deals that appear to get affordable to be real (since they're exactly that, too good to be real).
I required a glance at one from nomonthlyfees.com this past year and came to the conclusion it had been a Texas deal (El Paso). I have seen several similar ones since and also the service continues to be missing in most of these.

In the mid 1970s, the ROM led an exploratory expedition to the site of Saray Yazdigirdi, translated as “Yazdigird's palace,” situated on the edge of the Zagros mountains in western Iran. Artifacts discovered during the excavation contradicted earlier understanding about the site. The ROM’s study of the decorative architectural ornaments revealed this was not the palace of a king as once believed, but a fortified stronghold from 2nd century Parthia in Iran. The ruins were reinterpreted as the retreat of a Persian warlord - a robber baron that plundered goods from caravans travelling along the legendary Silk Road. | 2019-04-20T20:59:47 | http://byebyecouch.com/event/a-warlords-stronghold-mystery-on-the-silk-road/ |
Robert van Embricqs, the architect of the award winning project Transforming Bowl by Robert van Embricqs demonstrates, The Rising shell is a reflection on nature its pure logic and honesty that can be found in many constructions. This can be achieved by giving the object an opportunity to shape itself for the function it has. By only making incisions in the wooden materials, its true nature gets revealed as a functional bowl. The transformation, made possible by rubber technology, leads to an interaction between the final user and the used object. If the Rising Shell is not being used, it can be seamlessly folded back, only to have it open and rise up like a budding flower when it is needed again.. | 2019-04-24T16:33:08 | http://www.meetdesign.org/article.php?ID=10139 |

Step into my friend’s back yard, and you’ll realize quickly that it’s equal parts whimsy and actual garden. She blames, … er, attributes the whimsy on her husband and has told him to stop buying statues.
His whimsy suits her, though. She has a light spirit and is quick to laugh, even though she has lived through some truly difficult circumstances. I love that there were so many reasons to smile throughout her garden, and whether she admits it or not, all that whimsy fits her personality.
A ladybug ponders a dip in the pool.
Even the beautiful, huge shade tree that protects her yard from the sun sports a bit of fun.
Impatiens appreciate the shade from the trees as much as I do (perhaps even more).
Tomatoes hide under these vines.
My favorite bush in her yard is covered in purple flowers. The flowers remind me a bit of petunias, but on a shrub instead of vines.
Sometimes Google is no help at all with plant identification.
Speaking of vines, my friend has trained some to grow across her pool. They provide delightful shade while you’re sitting by the pool or even when you jump in for a dip. I had come to visit her for a pool party, and once everyone arrived, it took almost no time before we gravitated to this spot, some jumping in the pool and some sitting on the side to let our legs dangle in the water.
My friend is a welcoming soul, and she told me about the gate and path below that served as an entrance for their elderly neighbor to visit them more easily. The woman no longer lives in the house behind them, which may explain why gnomes have moved in to trip any strangers trying to come in the back gate. They may be even more effective guards than Don Quixote.
Every yard needs a little pop of red, be it flowers, fruit or a little manmade thing. Amid the iris plants, a red wagon sits.
If I were to describe this garden to you in one phrase, it would be this: full of life. That’s my friend, too.
Join me again next week for the last stop in our virtual garden tour. In the meantime, I’d love to hear about the favorite thing in your garden: flora, fauna or manmade. For me right now, I’d have to say it’s four little marigolds I planted over the weekend to protect a tomato plant. You’ll have to wait to hear the full story until September.

It is impossible to watch leaves fall to the ground, crudely or exquisitely, depending on my mood, without remembering my father’s broad tall frame doing the same, beginning to grow back, shrink down into something skeletal at this same time of year thirteen years ago.
Last week, I sat at the bar of a café and tried to finish the last chapter of Hold Still and came upon Sally Mann’s Body Farm photos, carcasses unabashedly decomposing buck naked against the earth. I closed the book abruptly so as not to disturb the patrons beside me at the café, seemingly on vacation, happily sipping their cheery cappuccinos with perfectly foamed leaves and hearts etched into the rich brown brew.
While attending the Jack Kerouac School for Disembodied Poetics, under the tutelage of Bhanu Kapil, I began studying the body and anatomy as part of a book of poems about the violence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For research purposes, I went to a public screening of Stan Brakhage’s The Art of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes, a film which documents autopsies, to more intimately know the boundaries, textures and depths of the body.
After three days of labor and three hours of trying to push my son out of my body, my midwife asked my husband if he had heard about the bombing at the Boston Marathon. She knew his mother would be traveling from Boston for the birth and just saw the news on the t.v. screen, in the waiting room, while grabbing a cup of coffee. I lay there, on my back, focused, staring ahead as if into a void, as if I didn’t hear what she said, due to my commitment to let go and not engage in worldly matters, while simultaneously wishing silently to myself that a massive attack on human beings wasn’t brought up while trying with every muscle of my body to release a new life, full of flesh and blood and vitality, into the world; wishing I could remain ignorant about the malevolence and wretchedness of human beings, if only for this moment, to feel that I was birthing my son into a world of security and sanctity.
Place names, these place names will never be the same after a mass shooting – Columbine, New Town, they can never be separated from what happened there, but as Sally Mann asks, “Would a stranger, coming upon it, say a century later . . . sense the sad, lost, secret of the place . . .? New Town – where my aunt and uncle lived and raised their three children. Their house on the market at the time of the shooting. This would be their horrifying last memory, after so many happy years, in a place they called home.
Two years ago my mother-in-law lay in surgery at Bingham and Women‘s hospital, hooked to a machine that kept her breathing, her chest open, heart exposed like Catholicism’s iconography of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, light streaming out it (in my vision), a young meticulous surgeon, Dr. Davidson, weighing over the intricacies of her vital organ, bringing her enlarged heart fresh life, like an alchemist, turning what is silver into gold, performing the miracles of modern science, at once common place, routine, and, yet, extraordinary.
Less than a year after her surgery, there was a shooting at Bingham and Women’s hospital. A nondescript man, without an appointment, went into the waiting room of the Watkins Cardiovascular Clinic and asked repeatedly to speak with Dr. Davidson. When available, the doctor lead him to exam room number fifteen.
As my mother-in-law’s strength, endurance, and vitality only grew, her doctor’s life was taken from him suddenly, violently, unexpectedly and unrepentantly on an ordinary day -his wife pregnant with their fourth child – an infant whose skin would never feel the warmth of her father’s flesh.
A few weeks ago, I could not get the image of two missing women, blithe lovers by all reports, twenty and twenty-two, out of my mind; their blood stained, bullet riddled car left visible, like an evil monument, partially submerged in the French Broad River, just a quarter mile from my home.
There was an investigation on my street in connection with their disappearance, caution tape strewn across the dead end road, where thick broken car glass, aquablue in the sunlight, was unapologetically strewn.
One day, while leaving the house at least twenty-vultures flew overhead. Everything seemed marked by an eerie bleakness.
The effect it had on me, I think, was made worse not only by the fact of its proximity to my home, and the utter senselessness of the brutal violence, and that these women resembled so many friends I’ve had over the years, but that for several weeks I had been reflecting deeply on the French Broad River, intimately thinking about its geology and history – the beginnings of a piece about one of the oldest rivers in the world whose vein, near my home, divides the central and west parts of the city.
One night, as I switched off the light to go to sleep, I took a sip of water in the dark. As I reached to set the glass back on the side table, a nightmarish image of their 1980s royal blue VW flashed in my mind, and the glass of water fell and cracked into thousands of shards beside me. I could do nothing but lay beside the ruins until sleep took me.
And while I grieved for these women who I never knew and would never know, as the stories and photos of them in the media started to mesh into the fabric of my internal thoughts, search parties dove into the depths of the French Broad River soon discovering them and pulling their young bodies from the weedy depths.
A week later, my mom called and said, “Something happened in France. Don’t listen to the news,” she warned, knowing I was already rattled.
I immediately texted my friends in Paris, want to make sure you two are safe and sound, thinking of you. As if the Atlantic didn’t separate us, in less than a minute they wrote back that they were safe and that the city was shut down. They were at their hotel suspended, stuck in a moment in history.
Bombs strapped on human bodies in public squares, the ultimate defilement of the sanctity of the body and humanity. A man shot during the November Paris attacks said something like, “When you see the destruction a single bullet does to the human body, it is devastating.” His phrase, a single bullet, struck me as incredibly poignant, during a time that a single bullet is so rarely reported.
Then more reports in the news this week, a mass shooting in San Bernadino, California… every few days another announcement. And another and another.
At a children’s music celebration the leader sings, “We feel that peace is coming, we feel that peace is coming, we feel that peace is coming for everyone.” I’m struck by the optimism and hope and all the contradictions brought out in the irony of this simple wishful prayer. My son later that afternoon sings it to me while smiling. Is there a more beautiful and impossible sentiment? But I so want this to be true for him, and for all children, not a fairy tale, not something that can never be.
Last night, while driving, my husband informed me that an acquaintance’s twenty-two year old son died a few days ago while kayaking in Ecuador. I felt a pang run through me. I hit my fist to my chest, primitively, and made a quiet guttural sigh.
In temple, later that night, the people in mourning stood for a moment amongst themselves before the rest of the congregation rose in solidarity beside them as the words Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, (Holy, Holy, Holy) slightly echoed into the vast space of the high, wood beamed, ceiling.
Very powerful piece. I think you should try to get this published. I’ve been thinking of similar themes. | 2019-04-25T14:48:49 | https://palimpsestgarden.com/2016/01/21/meditations-on-grief-death-and-senseless-acts-of-violence/ |
Continental Airlines, Boeing and GE Aviation announced plans to conduct a biofuels demonstration flight in the first half of 2009 in an effort to identify sustainable fuel solutions for the aviation industry. Continental is the first major U.S. carrier to announce plans to highlight technological advancements in sustainable biofuels that can help to further reduce carbon emissions.
The biofuel flight will use a Boeing Next-Generation 737 equipped with CFM International CFM56-7B engines. In the months leading up to the flight, Continental, Boeing and GE will work together and with an undisclosed fuel provider to identify sustainable fuel sources that don’t impact food crops, water resources or contribute to deforestation, and which can be produced in sufficient quantities to support a pre-flight test schedule that includes laboratory and ground-based jet engine performance testing to ensure compliance with stringent aviation fuel performance and safety requirements. | 2019-04-20T22:30:53 | https://www.avitrader.com/2008/03/13/continental-boeing-and-ge-aviation-announce-plans-for-sustainable-biofuels-flight-demonstration/ |

Faded to finish seventh last start at Wingatui and won once this prep at Winton Nz six runs back. Returns to shorter trip. Major contender.
Won once this prep at Winton Nz three runs back and ran fifth last start at Gore. Soft track a concern. Not here.
Bolted in last start to break maiden at Gore. Won't be far away in the run and should run fitter for past attempts. Appears safely held.
Won once this prep at Motukarara five runs back. Should race on the speed. Not the worst.
Won or placed in two to start career. Hard to go past.
Resumes from a 34 week spell and first run for a new trainer. Doesn't fire fresh. Not in this.

Won once this prep at Wingatui two runs back and faded to finish 12th last start at Wingatui. Likely to get a nice run behind the speed. Prefer to watch go around.
Faded to finish five lengths off the winner last start at Omakau. Expected to settle just off the speed and won once this prep at Wingatui five runs back. Prefer others.
Ran five lengths back from the winner last start at Gore and drops 1kg from last run. Just the one placing this campaign at the track. Looking elsewhere. | 2019-04-25T11:43:11 | https://www.bookmaker.com.au/racing/horses/gore/70869790-gore-town-country-club-bm65/ |
PSG and Barcelona will face each other today from 19:45 in the last 16 round of UEFA Champions League. The first leg takes place in Paris and the odds are very well balanced at the moment.
PSG are in top form, proof that they recorded ten wins and one draw in the last 11 competitive games. Even so, they are still on the second place in Ligue 1, three points behind AS Monaco. The Parisians are hungry for revenge, since they have been eliminated by Barcelona in three of the previous four Champions League editions. PSG lost no game in front of the own crowd this season.
PSG probable lineup (4-3-3): Trapp – Aurier, Marquinhos, Silva, Kurzawa – Verratti, Rabiot, Matuidi – Moura, Cavani, Di Maria.
Barcelona are also in a great form, undefeated in the last 11 matches too. They recorded eight wins and three draws, coming here after a clear win over Alaves, 6-0 in the domestic league. Barca have the second chance in La Liga title race, but Champions League is their main target now. Talking about their away record, Suarez & Co managed to win four of the last five trips.
Barcelona probable lineup (4-3-3): Stegen – Roberto, Umtiti, Pique, Alba – Rakitic, Bousquets, Iniesta – Messi, Suarez, Neymar.
Both teams have impressive attacks and their recent form is really good as well. We expect a spectacular meeting between these two sides, with goals from both of them, just like it happened in six of the last seven meetings (since 2012). | 2019-04-23T14:05:35 | https://tipsbet.co.uk/daily-betting-preview-14-02-2017/ |

What is the Guest Sponsorship Portal?
Does your visitor come from an eduroam-affiliated institution?
If so, they just need to log on with their own username and password (from their home institution). Nothing else is required on the UCT network.
Will your visitor be here for more than a month or two? Or do they require more than just Internet access – e.g. access to the library or the UCT network drives?
If so, you need to apply for a Third party account.
If the answer to the above is “no” and your visitor will be here for a relatively short time, then you can sponsor their access to the UCT Guest WiFi service.
This article describes how to sponsor a UCT Guest WiFi account. It is a simple process that you can carry out via a web interface without having to log a call with the IT Helpdesk. UCT guest accounts expire automatically after the specified period, so you won't have to decommission them or worry about unauthorised WiFi access after your conference is over and your visitors have gone home.
Who can sponsor guests? What are the rules?
Any UCT staff member may sponsor individual guests by filling in each visitor's information on the relevant forms. However, if you're expecting a large group or if you're a conference organiser, you may apply for special rights to create multiple accounts more quickly.
You can sponsor any number of guests.
The visitors are bound by an Acceptable Use Policy which ensures that they use the service reasonably and responsibly - without any adverse consequences to the university.
Your guest may connect up to three devices to the UCT network.
If your visitors violate any of the abovementioned terms and conditions, they will be held responsible. In addition, you - as the sponsor - will also be held accountable and will face the relevant disciplinary procedures established for staff at UCT.
You may extend their access to the WiFi, but at any point, the period remaining may not exceed the limit for that account type (e.g. 3 days or 7 days).
You may create a guest account up to 3 days before the arrival of your guest. Your guest will be able to connect up to 3 devices at the same time.
You need to be on campus, working through a UCT wired or wireless connection, in order to use the Guest WiFi Portal. If you're off campus, you can access the service through the UCT VPN service.
Sign in using your UCT Username and Password.
Enter the guest's details in the Guest Information section.
In the Access Information section, enter the details of how long your guest will need access and when this access will be valid.
To send the login details to your guest, click Notify.
Choose the notification method(s). Note that the SMS and Email options will not work if you've entered invalid contact details in step 3.
If you've selected the Email option and you want to receive a copy of the notification, select Copy me and enter your email address in the Sponsor's Email address text box.
To create another guest visitor account, repeat steps 1 to 5.
Apply to host a conference at UCT.
Apply for conference organiser rights.
Complete the CMD 01 form - which is a pre-requisite for hosting a conference or event at UCT. Ensure that you fill out section 11, which relates to ICT support and Internet access for conference delegates.
Personalised tokens only: When creating accounts, you will need contact details for each guest.
Personalised tokens AND generic tokens: When creating accounts, you don't need contact details for each guest. You can either give guests personalised tokens OR assign them random, generic tokens.
The first time you complete this step, ICTS will assign you rights based on your needs for that particular conference.
If you will be hosting future events - where you’ll need the same level of rights - you can skip this step and proceed to create conference WiFi accounts.
However, if you need a higher level of rights for a future conference, you will need to carry out this step again so that ICTS can upgrade your permissions.
Log on to ServiceNow Customer View using your UCT username and password.
Click Internet and Networking > Request IT Services for a Conference.
Log out of ServiceNow Customer View.
You may create guest accounts up to 7 days before the arrival of your guest. Each of your guests will be able to connect up to 3 devices concurrently.
I want to create personalised WiFi tokens for multiple conference attendees.
Ensure that you're on campus, working through a UCT wired or wireless connection. If you're off campus, work through the UCT VPN service to complete the next steps.
Navigate to https://wifi.uct.ac.za and sign in using your UCT username and password.
Select Create Accounts > Guest Information and select the Import tab.
Fill out the details for up to 250 visitors, entering each visitor's details on a new line. Fields marked with a * are mandatory.
Save the file in the same format (i.e. CSV).
Click Browse... and upload the file you worked on in step 5.
Enter a Group tag to identify this batch of guests.
In the Access Information section, specify how long your guests will need access and when this access will be valid.
Close the notification dialog box.
To send the login details to your visitors, select the Manage Accounts tab.
Select which guests you'd like to notify.
Choose the notification method(s). Note that the SMS and Email options will not work if you've entered invalid contact details in step 5.
To create accounts for another batch of guests, select the Create Accounts tab then repeat steps 3 to 10.
I want to create generic WiFi tokens for multiple conference attendees.
Select Create Accounts > Guest Information and select the Random tab.
Enter the Number of accounts (up to 250).
Enter a Username prefix (e.g. abbreviated name of the conference).
Click Print for a printout of the login tokens.
To create accounts for another batch of guests, select the Create Accounts tab then repeat steps 3 to 5.
Distribute the tokens to your guests as they arrive.
If, while using the Guest Sponsorship Portal, you find that accounts are not created, or something seems to have gone wrong, first check the Notices tab for information about any errors that may have occurred.
Can I edit the guest and account details?
Can I re-send the login details to my guest?
Is it possible to extend the account period?
How do I suspend a guest account?
How do I delete a guest account? | 2019-04-25T00:10:39 | http://www.icts.uct.ac.za/guest-wifi |
You should be able to explain how the investment in a new system makes business sense.
Some investments, like a machine that make croissants automatically, are easy to explain. Investments in business infrastructure, such as a new ERP, accounting or CRM system, are harder. The pay-off from these systems is a combination of some clear cost savings, and benefits from new capabilities, which are less clear but more important.
The new platform is a necessary enabler of future investments: like the foundations of a house: the foundation doesn't keep the rain out, but you couldn't have a roof and walls without it.
The value of the new system comes from a combination of those four points, and you'll need to exercise judgement. It's hard, but we strongly recommend that you at least estimate the potential upper and lower range over the lifetime of the new system, which you should set to be between three to five years for an established SME.
The era of the one-size-fits-all system is coming to an end. The rapid move towards ecommerce and mobile devices was the first wave, but the integrated cloud revolution will keep rolling on. Already, few businesses of any complexity are well served by choosing one package. We'll be blunt: GrowthPath does not believe in the promise that one system will meet all your needs. You either face serious compromises or expensive customisation. Just because your current IT is a mess does not mean you have to replace all of it at once. In some cases, the broader functionality of traditional monolithic ERP systems is ok, but in other cases it's clearly a step backwards.
Unfortunately, many vendors in the SME market are not genuine system integrators; they are usually resellers of a small range of monolithic packages. Their incentive is to sell as many modules of functionality under their package. While they may claim that the monolithic approach avoids the "synchronisation" factor, they are usually more complex to configure, and they have a much smaller ecosystem of auxiliary applications, such as online marketplaces, CRMs and 3PL integrations.
A typical smaller SME in Australia may have a legacy finance system: often it's MYOB. These entry level systems offer very little extra functionality and they are very hard to integrate with other systems. A typical SME is using a number of additional systems (stock, POS, CRM and online, say). And these additional systems are not connected. It's a big mess, but trying to replace all of these systems with one single solution is usually good to be true. While it will solve the mess, you end up with a one-size-fits-all approach. This doesn't matter much for producing a P&L, and it may not matter much for basic warehousing: these are back-office processes that are generic. But the closer you get to processes which touch customers and your special ways of doing things, the more the compromises will hurt, because you will trying to fit generic solutions onto processes which express your point of difference. As well, most efforts to link with innovative cloud apps will require custom integrations, since the market share is too small to attract developer interest.
The alternative to replacing this with a monolithic package is integration, because it allows you to find software products which do specific things closer to your needs. Rather than asking your accounting system to also be your CRM, you choose a decent accounting system, and then go shopping for a CRM which is right for your business. This has always been possible, but until cloud integration technologies emerged, it was expensive to connect products from different vendors. So expensive, that it was actually not affordable for many businesses.
Cloud integration has radically lowered the costs of integration, and an idea which has long been a vision to software developers has been realised. Done well, an integrated approach gives a much better implementation: faster, better suited to the business and with all the key advantages of a traditional ERP implementation.
How can implementing a new system fail?
or it makes key people leave in frustration.
But there are much bigger hidden failures: the missed opportunities. This is the 9/10s of the iceberg below the water: these costs are much more significant than the obvious failure risks, but they are harder to see.
Risks can be "failure" risks or "opportunity cost" risks. Opportunity costs are costs of wasted and missed opportunities. They can be very large, but more obscure because you don't know what you can't see.
Failing to inspire your team (Finance, management, production, warehouse etc) with the advantages of the new system, leading to people leaving and loss of confidence in the finance team.
Timing of a new system: when to go live?
The one rule is to live at the start of a month.
Any month which is not the start of the financial year will have some nuisance. If you go live at the start of a quater, your VAT/BAS disruption is low, but payroll will be split across two years. Such problems only happen once, though. In return, you can time your go-live to suit a quiet time of the year.
GrowthPath can select the correct system. If the right choice is a traditional ERP approach, we can run a tender and shortlist program, do vendor negotiation and then support the implementation. Our advice saves tens or hundreds of thousands over the life of your new system. The savings come from the easy wins of experience, and long term, deep value of a better implementation.
If the right choice is an integrated cloud solution, we will implement it. Cost should not be the main motivation when changing core business IT, but avoiding a traditional ERP systems will be a significant saving in both running costs and implementation costs.
GrowthPath fills a large gap: software vendors are often strong at understanding the capabilities of their software, but not experienced at understanding what makes your business work.
Typical successor systems to MYOB and QuickBooks.
These problems are usually solved with finance systems running on a database server. The data will be on an SQL server, almost certainly Microsoft SQL Server. This solves the big problem of MYOB: multi-user access to data. These 'grown-up' systems are an opportunity to reduce spreadsheets and third-party systems used for forecasting, stock management, scheduling, and they offer much stronger businesses controls with surprising paybacks when talking to banks, investors and potential acquirers. And in reduced audit fees.
What systems? There are many. I could name Accpac, MYOB Exo, Pronto .. but there are many more.
Vendors try to differentiate their products, but your interest is the opposite. You want to convince vendors that their offer is merely a possible candidate among a strong shortlist.
If you're upgrading from MYOB, the increase in reliability and functionality is such a huge step from MYOB that if may feel impossible to make a mistake. No matter what you do, you'll see a big improvement. However, this attitude risks costing you money, not to mention the missed opportunity of a new generation of business information.
Make a business case for a new system, which specifies where it will deliver measurable improvements to the business.
You should expect improvements in business control. This may not seem very exciting, but it makes a strong impression on banks, investors and potential acquirers. Should you need external audits, a good business control implementation will earn substantial fee reductions.
You should expect the system to earn pay-back through more efficient core processes. Apart from lower downtime, a new system should enable faster month-end closing and reporting, and greatly reduced rework due to errors.
The points above are generic. Each business will be able to identify some more precise links between growth plans and the new set of tools delivered by a modern mid-tier finance package.
Even if the functional gaps to your requirements are not very important, having a good list of talking points is helpful in price negotiations.
If you need to integrate with existing systems, you will notice remarkably different approaches. Integration with existing systems has real benefits, but it is an increase in complexity and needs a careful cost/benefit exercise.
I have a technical background, and at this point in package selection I examine Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), quality of documentation and the pricing and quality of Software Development Kits (SDKs). There are always different options for integration, starting from primitive flat-file interfacing. More often that not, API-based integration is the best choice, since custom systems are often very tailored for business requirements.
Commercially, pay very careful attention to annual maintenance charges. Insist on making them optional, and see what the wonders of competition produce. Make sure that your licence is not dependent on annual fees; that is, no lock-out for non-payment. Annual fees offer bug fixes, some very limited support and usually include upgrade to new versions. However, you can pay catchup fees if you need to. Five years of 20% fees in return for access to new releases? If you plan to upgrade every five years, it's not a saving, certainly not a cashflow benefit, and locks you in. Perhaps you are better off making that decision in five year's time with the cash still in your bank. In five years time, cloud and hosted ERPs will transform the mid-tier market.
Vendors will strive to differentiate their packages. Your interest is opposite: finding a shortlist of packages which all suit your needs, since this increases your bargaining power.
You will usually buy mid-tier software from a reseller. The reseller makes a margin on the licence fees, a good margin on consulting fees, and looks forward to years of 20% annual maintenance fees (discussed above).
4) Data migrations: A very important step. Includes making sure that there is no customer and supplier disruption with invoices and orders started in the old system, and making sure there is meaningful historical information for reporting and forecasting. Data migration is tricky because it requires strong knowledge of both the old and new system. Often it involves judgement in dealing with duplicate data.
Every part of this is negotiable. This is a highly competitive sector, and resellers are under pressure to sell. Often a reseller represents different products; involving the Australian software distributor directly can be useful. All parties are looking for reference sites; if you have a reputation for being innovative, exploit it.
Shortlist to keep the competition intense, and play offers against each other.
Finance teams can be surprisingly reluctant to change software. Counter this with two motivation angles.
1. New skills to enhance a CV.
Modern finance systems cater to businesses looking to get more faster, simpler and more relevant information for decision making. To enable the power of these tools, you will probably need to reposition your finance team and raise expectations of its contribution to your business. This is good for the business, and exciting for most of the finance team. You may need to look at your team balance to make sure the finance team can properly serve the business pro-actively.
GrowthPath offers fixed-price, end-to-end project management service for implementing new ERP and Finance systems. We do independent package selection, vendor negotiation, project management and we manage crucial aspects of the new system, such as design of the chart of accounts, reporting, integration between existing systems, business controls and inventory management: areas where our operational experience is usually far beyond the package vendor. We are zero-commission and propose open technologies. We will help you avoid lock-in and its high costs.
A common situation is businesses which believe they have outgrown MYOB AccountRight. There are ways to extend the life of MYOB. But if a move is needed, there is now an opportunity to move to cloud-based solutions.
"Not only the best implementation I've ever seen, but the best I've ever heard of".

S R Nathan, the sixth and longest-serving president of the country, is in a critical condition after he had a stroke on early Sunday morning (31 July).
He is now being treated in the Intensive Care Unit at Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
Prior to this, Mr Nathan had a stroke in April 2015 where he was hospitalised for almost three weeks. He has been diagnosed with kidney failure and had been undergoing dialysis in the past few months.
Other members of the cabinet and former members also voiced their concerns on Mr Nathan’s health.
Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong said on his Facebook account that the doctor said the vital signs are stable but it is too early to say how he would progress. He told reporters at Singapore General Hospital that Mr Nathan is a fighter and he had gone through this many times before.
Former Speaker of Parliament Abdullah Tarmugi said that even though he knew that Mr Nathan has been ill for quite some time, the news was still shocking to him. “I think all Singaporeans are quite shocked and concerned. We knew that he had been ill for some time and were so shocked that he had a stroke…naturally, his family is concerned,” he said.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kang Seng said that the last time he visited Mr Nathan was just 10 days ago and said that Mr Nathan was alert and in good spirit.
Former Senior Minister of State Zainul Abidin Rasheed said that he is still unconscious and sedated. He just met Mr Nathan last week and that he seemed to be in a good condition. “He was really in top spirits and talking about the contributions of the Malay-Muslim community, ” he said. | 2019-04-22T12:12:56 | https://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2016/08/02/the-countrys-longest-serving-president-sr-nathan-in-a-critical-condition/ |
Stingrays are common in coastal tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world, and also includes species found in warmer temperate oceans such as the Whip Tail stingray and those found in the deep ocean. Most stingrays have one or more barbed stings on the tail, which is used exclusively in self-defense.
Stingrays do not aggressively attack humans, though stings do normally occur if a ray is accidentally stepped on. To avoid stepping on a stingray in shallow water, the water should be waded through with a shuffle. Alternatively, before wading, stones can be thrown into the water to scare stingrays away.
Contact with the stinger causes local trauma (from the cut itself), pain, swelling, muscle cramps from the venom, and later may result in infection from bacteria. The injury is very painful, but seldom life-threatening unless the stinger pierces a vital area. The barb usually breaks off in the wound, and surgery may be required to remove the fragments.
to effectively treat your marine sting.
Clean your hands with provided towelette. Do not directly touch the injured area without wearing the gloves provided in the kit.
If bleeding is brisk (this is quite unusual) apply pressure with the gauze pad. If blood spurts or continues after several minutes, seek medical attention immediately.
Carefully and gently remove any readily visible spines. Do not dig around the wound to fish stingray spines out as this runs the risk of crushing the spines making them more difficult to remove. Purple or black discoloring is commonly leached dye from the spine and should dissipate in 24-72 hours. Note: If discoloring remains after 48 hours, a spine fragment is likely still in the wound and may need to be removed surgically. Seek medical attention.
Snap to activate the heat pack and apply to the affected area for 15 minutes if possible. Pain may initially intensify but maintain heat application. Use the elastic wrap to hold the pack in place if necessary, wrapping just tightly enough to maintain skin contact without added pressure. If at any point the skin feels uncomfortably hot to the victim, remove the heat pack or gently place a thin barrier between the pack and skin. Water warmed to 110 to 113 degrees F (43.3 to 45 degrees C) may be used in place of the heat pack. Immersing the wound in the heated water or soak towels with the heated water and gently place them on the skin. This heat application should continue for 30 to 60 minutes. If pain recurs after the heat is removed, and the skin does not appear to be burned, re-apply heat for additional treatment.
Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to help keep the wound moist and avoid infection.
Cover the wound with non-adhesive gauze and gently wrap with elastic bandage. The wound should be cleaned and redressed twice a day thereafter.
If the person receives many wounds simultaneously, difficulty in breathing, weakness and/or collapse may be present; seek immediate medical attention immediately.
Always seek medical attention immediately if signs of infection appear following injury, the rash worsens, or the rash does not improve within 5 to 7 days.

During the real estate boom in the Phoenix Metro Area, "Condo Conversions" are were popular, bringing affordability to areas typically built-out - like Scottsdale, Tempe, Central and North Phoenix. They still provide an affordable alternative and are also popular with vacation home owners due to the ease of maintenance.
Shown: Riverwalk in Phoenix/Tempe, top; 3rd Ave Palms, Central Phoenix, bottom.
What is a "condo conversion"?
A developer or project manager purchases an existing apartment community, and remodels it. This could mean anything from update the paint, appliances and flooring, to a full 're-plumb/re-wire/re-sheetrock' updating. They change the property type from 'apartment' to 'condominium' with the county tax assessor, and sell the individual units as condos.
Who is the typical condo conversion buyer?
*Move-in buyers who bought in the suburbs because they wanted a new home, but now desire a shorter commute - the condo conversion gives them the location as well as a 'new' home.
Please remember that we are independent Agents and represent you - not the seller - on the purchase of any condo listed on this website*. There is NO COST TO YOU!

’Twas a fine day for a bike ride.
I hitched a ride down to Hastings with some friends who were heading down to C. P. Adams Park for a round of disc golf.
I watched them play a few holes. In the process, I learned a lot about this finely nuanced sport, and got some insights into the makeup of the disc golf playing demographic as well – fodder, indeed, for another post.
12 noon, 43 degrees, probably wasn’t going to get much warmer, so, off I went.
I marveled at the crisp, cold Fall air. The leaves swirling around.
The not-too-unsatisfactory conversation with a security guard at the Ashland refinery.
And last but not least, the construction staple that up and decided to puncture my rear tube.
Pity I didn’t have a spare tube. Or a patch kit.
But! I did have, secreted away in my bike frame, a small roll of emergency duct tape.
And it was upon that which I rode the last 12 miles home, even though most people on the internet seemed to be saying that it couldn’t possibly work.
Duct tape. It is not to be underestimated!
UPDATE: I decided to see how far the duct tape would take me. Answer: about 40 miles. That’s good information! After this experience, though, I don’t think I’ll leave home without a patch kit ever again. | 2019-04-19T00:16:08 | http://eccentricaspects.com/2010/11 |

In the early days of reducing carbohydrates from your diet, make sure that you always have something to snack on close by. Before you reach for a snack though, have a glass of water. Often, particularly in the early days of eating low carb, you will feel hungry when in fact you just need a drink of water.
The following snack options are easy to carry or store in your office drawer or handbag.
Fresh fruit, 1 serving only per day. Eat fruit which is in season and locally available. Berries are the best option, low in carbs and high in additional nutrients. | 2019-04-24T00:59:56 | http://www.lchf.co.nz/snacks-womens-health/ |

How did WE win the Revolution and the freedom to invent that wonderful Institution called The United States of America? And for that matter, just who were WE, an unlikely crew to take on the armed might of the greatest military power on earth. Most of us were tradesmen and farmers, with a few trained soldiers who had served in Colonial regiments. And the WE has to include our French friends who supplied us with arms and equipment and manpower without which we could not have won.
But the subject of this treatise is another part of the WE, a breed of unique Americans who were quick to join the Yankee farmers and tradesmen in battle. These eager fighters were the backwoodsmen from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and the Carolinas with their deadly long guns, which later came to be known as "Kentucky" rifles. These men did not win the war, and did not even play what could be called a major role, but their contributions had a dramatic impact wherever they were present in substantial numbers. It is probable that never more than a few thousand served at any one time, and like other militiamen, most of them joined the fight when they were needed and went home when they weren't, after short enlistments. And what kind of men were they?
There are more accounts of these hardy men and their contributions than can be included here. How the company enlisted at Frederick, Maryland under Captain Michael Cresap is well documented; contemporary descriptions of this unit can be applied to others. A letter dated August 1, 1775 from a gentleman in Frederick to a friend in Philadelphia gives the following colorful account: ".. . I have had the happiness of seeing Captain Michael Cresap marching at the head of a formidable company of perhaps one hundred and thirty men, from the mountains and backwoods, painted like Indians, armed with tomahawks and rifles, dressed in hunting shirts and moccasins, and though some of them had traveled near 800 miles from the banks of the Ohio, they seemed to walk light and easy, and not with less spirit than at the first hour of their march. Health and vigor, after what they had undergone, declared them to be intimate with hardship, and familiar with danger...."
When Cresap's company arrived at Lancaster, they put on an exhibition of marksmanship for the townspeople. An eyewitness described the performance in a letter printed in the Pennsylvania Packet of August 28th, which says in pare "On Friday evening last arrived here, on their way to the American Camp, Captain Cresap's Company of Riflemen, consisting of 130 active, brave young fellows, many of whom had been in the late expedition under Lord Dunmore against the Indians. They bear in their bodies visible marks of their prowess, and show scars and wounds... two brothers in the company took a piece of board, five inches broad and seven inches long, with a bit of white paper about the size of a dollar nailed in the center, and while one of them supported this board perpendicularly between his knees, the other at a distance of upwards of sixty yards and without any kind of a rest, shot eight bullets successively through the board, and spared his brother's thighs....the spectators, amazed at these feats, were told that there were upwards of fifty persons in the company who could do the same thing; that there was not one who could not plug 19 bullets out of 20 within an inch of the head of a ten-penny nail...."
The Loyalist Bradford brothers, Philadelphia printers, wrote the following story which appeared in the London Chronicle on August 17, 1775: "This province has raised 1,000 riflemen, the worst of whom will put a ball into a man's head at a distance of 150 or 200 yards, therefore advise your officers who shall hereafter come out to America to settle their affairs in England before their departure".
These marksmen were organized into small, independent units and ordered to pick off British officers during the inactivity around Boston after the Bunker Hill fight. Dunlap's Pennsylvania Packet said on August 14, 1775: “The express, who was sent by the Congress, is returned here from the Eastward, and says he left the Camp last Saturday; that the riflemen picked off ten men in one day, three of whom were Field-officers, that were reconnoitering ; one of them was killed at a distance of 250 yards, when only half his head was seen.” Such reports caused great indignation when republished in London. The backwoodsmen were called “. .. shirt-tail men, with their cursed twisted (rifled) guns, the most fatal widow- and-orphan-makers in the world”.
Some of the accounts of marksmanship are almost too much to believe but can be accepted if considered as a few remarkable shots out of many unreported attempts. For instance, the Philadelphia Gazette of August 21, 1775, carried the following: “A gentleman from the American Camp says that last Wednesday, some riflemen on Charleston side killed three men on board a ship at Charleston ferry, at the distance of full half a mile”. Even the deadly “widow makers” would not carry half that far accurately, and American officers discouraged the waste of powder and ball. However, it is very probable that the free-spirited backwoodsmen enjoyed the “sport”, as they did their target and turkey shoots back home.
And what were those cursed twisted guns, the first truly American weapons? The curved grooves in the barrel, the rifling, was important, but “rifles” had been used by special units in European armies since the 1600s. In fact, the American long rifle was developed from the Jaeger (hunter) rifle introduced to the colonies by German gunsmiths who settled in Pennsylvania between 1700 and 1740. The Jaeger rifle had a barrel seldom exceeding thirty six inches in length, with a bore between 65 and 70/100's of an inch. These rifles used soft lead balls cast smaller than the bore, so that when they were forced down the barrel on top of the powder, they would fill the grooves and prevent the escape of gases on firing. After a few shots, powder residue would collect in the grooves, making loading difficult until the barrel was cleaned with a dampened swab. Also, the soft lead ball was deformed during the loading with a resultant loss of accuracy.
The main clients of the gunsmiths, the frontier hunters and Indian fighters, demanded changes in the design of their rifles to make them better suited to ob- taining food and for protection. By 1750 these changes had created a precision tool perfect for its purpose. The barrel was lengthened to between 44 and 48 inches to insure complete burning of the powder and provide maximum velocity. Bore size was reduced one-third to between 40 and 45/100's of an inch to save powder and lead, scarce commodities on the frontier. These rifles were loaded by a new system, which was the main reason for their extreme accuracy. A greased or saliva-dampened patch of linen was placed over the muzzle, and the bullet, cast slightly under bore size, was seated on the patch and rammed down on top of the powder. The patch served as a gas seal, cleaning the barrel with each shot and avoiding deformation of the ball. This new type of rifle provided a superbly dependable, economical hunting and fighting tool in which the increase in velocity and accuracy more than made up for the decreased weight of the ball. A .45 calibre long rifle would deliver three times the number of shots from the same amount of powder and lead as a .75 calibre smoothbore musket, with a major increase in effectiveness.
The accuracy of the long rifle came from the patched, lightweight, tight-fitting ball and the resulting high velocity, which flattened the bullet's trajectory and obviated the need for “holding over” a man sized target up to 150 or more yards. The rapid spin of the bullet imparted by the rifling provided a gyroscoping effect which further increased accuracy. The difference in accuracy between the long rifle and the smoothbore musket could be compared to that of an expertly spiral led football and a thrown basketball.
However, the large calibre, smoothbore musket had some important advantages over the long rifle. Musket loading was fast, about four shots per minute, due to the charges being made up in paper cartridges. These consisted of a paper tube which contained powder and ball for one shot. The paper was torn open with the teeth, powder was poured into the pan, the pan cover was closed and the remaining powder was poured down the barrel with the rest of the paper and the ball rammed down on top. The musket was designed for use against massed troops and cavalry, and was an effective weapon when so used. It would deliver its one ounce ball into a man-sized target at 60 to 80 yards from a steady rest, but it was not intended primarily for this purpose, particularly when fired in combat from a standing or moving position.
It is often assumed that use of the massed formations which proved so vulnerable to our backwoods riflemen was evidence of a fixation with tradition and pageantry, but this is far from true. Attacks by successive waves of troops were, rather, a tactic which came about be cause of the recognized limitations of the smoothbore musket. The masses of infantry were not there to provide convenient targets, but to deliver a massed fire, still a military objective which is now effected by automatic and repeating weapons.
Muskets were not thought of as precision military tools, and the standard piece did not even have a rear sight, but a large volley of heavy lead balls thrown in the general direction of a foe could do great damage. The principle can be likened to bird hunting; most shotgun pellets are wasted, but enough find the target to kill or disable. And followed by a bayonet charge before the enemy, usually at close range, could reload, the tactic was very effective. However, against dispersed riflemen who stayed out of range of both the inaccurate muskets and the bayonets, this kind of warfare did not work very well.
Loading of the long rifles was slower than the musket because powder and balls were carried separately in a powder horn and a bullet pouch. A little powder was poured into the pan, then more down the barrel, measured by the experienced eye of the rifleman. The patch would then be extracted from the patchbox in the stock of the rifle and placed over the muzzle. A bullet was placed on the patch and the whole rammed down easily with the greased patch acting as a lubricant. Some of the more experienced riflemen speeded up the process by keeping three extra balls between the base of the fingers on each hand, creating odd cavities which stayed with them for life. The usual tactic in a firefight was to get off two or three volleys, and then retreat to avoid the bayonets and get time to reload and fire again.
These sturdy men and their rifles were an important, if not decisive, element in many battles. Contrary to popular legend, there were no eagle-eyed sharpshooters with long rifles in the fight at Bunker Hill, but there were stout New England militiamen armed with their own smoothbore muskets, familiar tools like their plows and axes, which they used with great effect. However, rifles were important in an important engagement two years later. Colonel Daniel Morgan, who had led one of the Virginia companies to Cambridge in July of 1775, commanded a corps of riflemen who opened hostilities on September 19, 1777 at the first Battle of Freeman's Farm, the start of what is often called erroneously the Battle of Saratoga, the point of final surrender of Burgoyne's army.
As the advance party of four regiments of British regulars broke into the clearings of the farm, they heard a chorus of eerie turkey gobblings coming from shadowy figures in fur caps in the surrounding woods. Then the sharp crack of long rifles broke the stillness, and within minutes every British officer was killed or wounded and non-coms and privates began to fall. The rest of Burgoyne's troops rushed to the rescue and the riflemen, thought to be no more than a company, melted into the woods, continuing their gobbling as they joined the rest of Morgan's troops.
The woods filled fast with tall men in fur caps, round hats and hunting shirts. The crack of rifles resumed, joined by the duller reports of muskets as Cilley's New Hampshire Continentals closed up with Morgan's men. Burgoyne tried to bring his artillery into action, but cannoneers and their officers were picked off before their guns could be loaded. The fighting continued for more than three hours, while decimated British regiments closed up again and again, and companies shrank to platoons and platoons to squads in what was, to them, a new type of warfare. They were finally saved from complete annihilation by the arrival of a strong force of Baron von Riedesel's Germans.
The Second Battle of Freeman's Farm on October 7th, in which General Simon Fraser was killed by one of Morgan's riflemen, finished Burgoyne's army as a fight- ing force, and led to the surrender of more than 5,000 British and Germans on October 17th.
Riflemen were entirely responsible for an overwhelming victory at King's Mountain on October 7, 1780. A force of more than 1,100 Tories, trained and equipped by the British and commanded by Major Patrick Ferguson, were ordered by General Cornwallis to march west into the Watauga settlements in the mountains along the present border between Tennessee and North Carolina and force the mountain people to declare their allegiance to the Crown. Word of Ferguson's expedition spread quickly, and the Watauga men, hardiest of the hardy pioneers, chose not to wait, but rather to meet Ferguson before he came anywhere near their homes.
Companies formed rapidly under Colonels Isaac Shelby, “Nolichucky Jack”, Sevier and Charles McDowell set out, each man with his horse, his rifle and a bag of parched corn. Along the way they were joined by Campbell's Virginians, Cleaveland with more Carolinians and other local leaders. Major Ferguson got word of this force, now totaling more than 1,400 men, and decided to take refuge on King's Mountain, hoping for reinforcements. They were attacked there by 900 of the best mounted and equipped riflemen after an overnight thirty mile march. The Tories fought well and bravely, repelling the riflemen by several bayonet charges, but the result was inevitable. Completely surrounded by expert marksmen, and with the death of most of their officers — including Major Ferguson, who was hit by seven bullets —they surrendered after one hour and ten minutes of intense fire. Estimates of Tory losses vary from 425 to 800 killed and wounded, compared to less than 100 of the mountaineers.
Long rifles were used effectively after the Revolution, notably at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. It is probable that the long rifles received the name "Kentucky" rifles in this battle, indicating the men who used them, not the Pennsylvania gunsmiths who made most of them. Pennsylvania historians and gun collectors have always resented the terminology.

One of the greatest demand in the scientific fields is that of the literature reviews. This is because of the increase in the scientific publications since the 20th century. The publications need to be checked by the peers. It is not possible for the other scientists to read through the detailed research papers to check for the given research and facts. This becomes easier with the help of the literature reviews. The literature review is the overall summaries of the selected literature that represents the facts related to the selected topic. Here are the ten most important rules that are important for the compilation of the literature review.
The first rule is that the audience and the topic of the literature review need to be defined. Some of the main aspects of the topic are that the selected topic needs to be interesting and it should be important in the field. The papers that have been selected should be the ones that present important questions in the field.
After the topic has been selected, the relevant research papers are to be downloaded. The search terms should be defined. The irrelevant papers should be excluded. Complete publication of all papers are not always available online; the incomplete ones should be marked for later. As the papers are downloaded, they must be read thoroughly to find out a topic that can attract the attention of the readers, as it must be new and interesting.
As the literature and the publications are being read, it is important that the notes be made about the facts, new discoveries, novel research ideas or anything important. This will help in making a draft that will give the researcher a rough overview of what the literature review will deal with. The rough draft will help in shaping the final draft.
The kind of literature review needs to be defined. The reader needs to choose between the critical reviews, systematic review, meta-analysis, or the conceptual review.
The literature review has to be well organized, focused and it should cover the interests of a larger audience from the related field.
The sixth important rule is that the review should be written in a critical and a consistent manner. It should highlight important research questions and it should raise new questions about newer research ideas and better findings.
The seventh rule highlights the structure of the literature review that will make the reader read the literature review.
Eight rules that make the review even better is to make sure that the feedback from the reviewers is incorporated. The drafts must be reread repeatedly so the roughness of the drafts can be eliminated.
The researcher can include his own research but it is important that the research should be objective as well as relevant.
Last but not the least; the literature review should include all the up-to-date research. This would make the literature review more interesting but the golden facts from the older studies should not be ignored.

Following extensive negotiations, HS2 has agreed to introduce an ‘Additional Provision’ to address our concerns. HS2’s access road will be rerouted to radically reduce the visual and aural impact on boaters and canal visitors in the area.
The Canal & River Trust have also reached agreement with HS2 on minimising the impact of construction works in the area. This includes reducing the impact of works on the canal towpath and minimising canal closures, especially during peak seasons, to facilitate works.
Peter Walker, head of technical support at the Canal & River Trust, says: “The Fradley Junction area, where the Coventry Canal joins the Trent & Mersey Canal, is one of the busiest and most vibrant places on the waterways.
Separately, the Canal & River Trust will work with HS2 and other interested parties through the newly-created Sow Parklands & Cannock Chase AONB Landscape Group to address the design of the Great Haywood viaduct. | 2019-04-26T12:01:03 | https://marineindustrynews.co.uk/agreement-with-hs2-secured-to-address-concerns-at-fradley-junction/ |
New York, N.Y. – Columbia Law School’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law and the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund today launched an online resource tracking actions by the government to “silence science” since the November 2016 election. The launch of the Silencing Science Tracker coincides with the first anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2017.
The Silencing Science Tracker is intended to capture government attempts to restrict or prevent scientific research, education, discussion or the publication or use of scientific information. The tracker contains a table of entries, drawn from media reports, which will be updated on a regular basis. There is also a resources page, which contains links to other trackers and resources that complement the Silencing Science Tracker.
The tracker currently has 96 entries of actions organized by the following categories: 41 government censorship, 11 self-censorship, 15 budget cuts, 20 personnel changes, 5 research hindrance and 8 bias and misrepresentation. At this time, the tracker only records federal government attempts to silence science, but we plan to add state-level actions in the future.
The core mission of the Sabin Center is to develop and promulgate legal techniques to address climate change and to train the next generation of lawyers who will be leaders in the field. The Sabin Center is both a partner to and resource for public interest legal institutions engaged in climate change work.
The Climate Science Legal Defense Fund (CSLDF) protects the scientific endeavor by providing support and resources to scientists who are threatened, harassed or attacked for doing their job. CSLDF offers free legal aid to scientists, educates researchers about their rights and responsibilities, shares strategies and information about cases with attorneys and publicizes attacks on science – because knowledge is power. | 2019-04-22T06:17:46 | https://www.csldf.org/press/silencing-science-tracker-keep-tabs-trump-administration-attacks-environmental-public-health-climate-science/ |

Over the centuries Celts are famous for their obscure art patterns. These elaborated celtic art in cross stitch are praised all over the world. Celts were not exactly a nation; they are more generally described as tribes. These tribes were ruled by Kings, Queens and Chieftains. They have roots spread all over the Europe and even in some parts of Asia. It is stated in the history that for centuries they have ruled over Britain, Italy, Spain, Germany and Turkey. Their itinerant souls made them spread their rich culture all over the world. This is the reason why Celtic art is still alive and appraised all over the world. This art is known to be at least 25 centuries old. Some celtic cross stitch patterns are found which are from 500 B.C.
Celts were significantly recognized for their creativity and décor of their belongings. Their possessions were festooned with obscure patterns. They used to make their typical patterns on their swords, shields, daggers, vessels, utensils, clothes, body tattoos, tapestries even on their walls. There were various methods to transform their creativity into a visual form. They made jewellery, engraved their swords and shields, had tattoos on their bodies, did embroideries. Celts are still known to believe the mystic nature. They had myths and stories in which they portrayed mythological creatures. These creatures were commonly portrayed in their art ornaments.
In the modern era Celtic art has been limited to only a few things. Swords, shields and other armory products are long lost. But we still have their patterns in the form of embroideries and tattoos. These patterns are also introduced into few things that were originally not a part of their heritage, for example clip arts, illustrations and stamps.
In traditional English, Irish, Spanish or German families it is for sure that you will find a typical Celtic cross stitch pattern in their home. Whether it is the tapestry or a bed spread, a wall hanging or a tea cosy cover. These patterns have followed generations after generations and are still popular in a particular class who has a taste for classic and ethnic art. Celtic art is so unique and extravagant that it has kept its originality even after centuries.
Cross stitch is an art that brings us a wide range of ideas and products. Its trouble-free creation gives us opportunity to make anything out of a simple pattern. Even simple lines with bold and rich colors made with cross stitch are able to get attention from an art lover, what to talk of the Celtic cross stitch patterns.

Pedro is a very good professitional plumber, highly experienced, very quickly to identify the problem, and repair work is done with high quality.
Thanks for your help and friendly service. We appreciate the quality of your work.
this company was recomended by noritz tankless. the most important for me it was the knowledge and professionalism . he will ask you what do you want and he will do it . His price $$ and the job very nice , if you want my opinion call others and then call this company , you will see it for your self. i call three different companies before I found him , I make the deal over the phone. I'm happy now. I will definitely call him again . they installed a new tankless water heater in my home.
After being duped by another company I found Pedro online and am SO happy I did. Our tankless water heater stopped working and the first company quoted me outrageous prices. I could tell they did not have much experience with tankless water heaters which is what led me to Pedro. Pedro is very honest and affordable not to mention has impeccable workmanship. He explained everything to me in detail and you can tell he has a great amount of knowledge about tankless water heaters. After going on 2 weeks with no hot water he replaced our water heater at an affordable price within hours after arriving at my house. Thank you Pedro!
I won't do business anywhere else.
Fast excellent service. Very punctual, showed up when they said they would. Explained everything thoroughly. Was very friendly and professional. They were able to install a new tankless water heater the same day they inspected my old one. I couldn't be happier, they have made a customer for life.

MIAMI — A little extra bullpen help would be a relief to the Mets.
Even with the rotation showing signs of wear and tear, the team’s primary focus heading toward the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline remains another reliever, according to a person with knowledge of the organization’s thinking.
Bartolo Colon is struggling and Steven Matz and Noah Syndergaard are both dealing with bone spurs. Plus, there are continuing questions whether Logan Verrett can pitch effectively enough to warrant a rotation spot.
But given the inventory of available starters at this point, team brass isn’t certain there is a upgrade to be had at a reasonable cost.
The Mets view another reliever as more easily attainable and are monitoring options that include the Angels’ Joe Smith, the Braves’ Chris Withrow and possibly Brewers closer Jeremy Jeffress — who would cost the Mets significantly in terms of players needed to make a deal.
Arizona has made no secret that Tyler Clippard can be had, but the Mets are unlikely to seek a reunion given that the veteran righty is signed through 2017.
With Mike Piazza’s No. 31 set to be retired next weekend, the Mets have changed the location in Citi Field where they will display the retired numbers, now affixing the plaques to the roof, above the upper deck in left field.
Previously, the retired numbers for Casey Stengel, Gil Hodges and Tom Seaver, with tribute plaques for Jackie Robinson, Bill Shea and broadcaster Ralph Kiner, were behind the left-field fence at a lower level.
“The combination of our increased attendance coupled with the retirement of Mike Piazza’s number brought to light the need to enhance the visibility for all of our retired numbers, which were frequently obstructed in their previous location,” the Mets said in a statement. | 2019-04-25T01:07:53 | https://nypost.com/2016/07/22/mets-biggest-trade-need-might-not-be-so-easy-to-get/ |
