Ibrahimovic now plays for the Galaxy in Major League Soccer, and has spent time playing for Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Ajax, Manchester United, Juventus, Barcelona and Malmo.
It was Ibrahimovic's 500th goal of a glorious career and it triggered a Galaxy comeback, scoring another two goals to level the match.
It is not the first time the former Sweden worldwide has scored a golazo in the MLS.
"I am happy for Toronto because they will be remembered as my 500th victim", said Ibrahimovic.
After starting his career at Malmo (18) in Sweden, Ibrahimovic has gone on to score goals for Dutch giants Ajax (48), Juventus (26), Inter (66), Barcelona (22), AC Milan (56), Paris Saint-Germain and United (29). Since then, the former Swedish worldwide has scored 17 goals for the MLS side in 22 appearances.
The absolutely startling piece of technique finished off a chipped ball over the top of the Canadian's defence by Jonathan Santos and obviously inspired those around him to up their own games as the Californian side fought there way back to 3-3 not long after.
Just look at Michael Bradley's face after the goal, because it says it all.

This complex, diverse yet compact book is the outcome of the Pasco Pantera project, an international conservation effort dedicated to fostering a system of interconnected and protected natural corridors throughout the Central American isthmus. Written by eminent authorities in the field it discusses the geological origins of the isthmus; the mosaic of landscapes that make it such a diverse and complex region; the differences that contrast the Pacific and Caribbean; the importance of Central American corridors and barriers for terrestrial organisms (including humans) and marine life; native peoples and cultures during pre-Colombian and colonial times; colonisation; the postcolonial period and independence; the current status of the native Indian peoples and their lands; and regional conservation issues for the twenty-first century. An important text. | 2019-04-24T22:12:09 | https://www.nhbs.com/central-america-book |
Canadian Food Innovators (CFI) was established in 2013 to enable Canada’s food and beverage manufacturing industry to jointly access federal innovation programs.
As part of its commitment to furthering innovation in the national food value chain, CFI networks Canadian food and beverage processors with FoodTech Canada centres, Canada’s food universities and community colleges, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s research centres.
CFI successfully delivered Canada’s first food and beverage processing cluster through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Growing Forward 2 Agri-Science cluster program, and was the successful applicant for a second cluster under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s Agri-Science cluster initiative.
Canada’s provincial and regional food industry associations which represent over 1,500 Canadian food and beverage manufacturers from coast to coast, appoint industry representatives to CFI’s board of directors. The CFI board of directors includes representation from small and medium enterprises as well as large food processing businesses, academia and FoodTech Canada.
CFI was chosen by the Guelph Food Technology Centre (GFTC) Legacy Fund Board for an endowment from the proceeds of industry funds raised when GFTC was sold to NSF International. Those endowed funds are supporting food innovation in the CFI-led food processing clusters. | 2019-04-26T12:26:04 | http://www.canadianfoodinnovators.ca/aboutcfi |

Making the most of natural resources of farms is critical in today’s environment, where rainfalls are becoming ever so scarce.
While in Queensland the use of animal recognition technology is being used to conserve water, on the other side of the country in Western Australia, satellite technology is providing farmers with a suite of tools to accurately estimate the amount of feed in their pastures, how quickly their pastures are growing and the pasture quality.
Jointly developed by the CSIRO and Western Australia’s Department of Agriculture and Department of Land Information, the project, called Pastures from Space, uses satellite data from NASA to monitor the efficient use of feed resources in the livestock industries.
The Pastures from Space message is clear: use it or lose it.
For maximum efficiency on a farm, farmers need to use the pasture when it is at its best. This was one of the main drivers for the project, which predicts the quantity of green pasture in each paddock for a farm, or Feed on Offer (FOO), as kilos of dry matter per hectare.
According to Gonzalo Mata, who is in charge of farming systems and web development for the project, the general rule of thumb is that only about 20 to 30 per cent of pasture grown is utilised in many beef and sheep production systems. This is because a lack of information on feed resources leads to conservative management as a means of mitigating risk.
“Farmers need this information in order to match the animals’ nutrient demands for growth and reproduction with the supply of feed which can be very seasonal. If this is not achieved, production is lower or costs increase through the use of supplements to achieve the balance,” Mata added.
According to Mata, you can’t manage what you can’t measure, hence the need for allowing farmers to measure how much pasture there is on their farms. The project also predicts the rate of growth of pasture, or Pasture Growth Rate (PGR), on a weekly basis as kilos of dry matter per hectare per day.
The PGR tool uses images from a NASA satellite to create a composite greenness index. The climate data is sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology on a weekly basis and the two data sources are combined in a pasture growth model.
Pastures from Space boasts a 97 percent accuracy and it is possible farmers with a subscription (which costs $900 per year) to have sustainable pasture utilisation of more than 50 percent.
“When the farmers get their system up and running, the level of interaction that they have is only limited by their ability to ask questions of the data. New information is downloaded on a weekly basis using a software package called ‘Pasture Watch’ and can review the automatically generated graphs showing PGR for individual paddocks or combination of paddocks depending of what decision he is trying to make,” Mata said.
By going online, the farmer can also look at maps of PGR for their farm, giving them a better understanding of why some parts of a paddock or of the farm are performing better than others.
As of 2007, Pastures from Space had 80 commercial subscribers, and the numbers of people accessing the non-specific satellite measurements on the free Web site is growing.
Mata says the numbers have been growing every year by at least 10 percent, and up to late last year, nearly 10,000 unique IP addresses had visited the Web site. | 2019-04-21T11:06:29 | https://www.computerworld.com.au/article/301239/view_from_space_satellite_farming_greener_pastures/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeed |
I am a hydrologist interested in the development and use of hydrological models to simulate fluid flow and transport for prediction, management, and process investigation.
My primary research interests and expertise focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of models used for simulating and predicting changes in water resources in the surface and subsurface. I develop, integrate, and use a wide variety of tools, ranging from computationally demanding, fully-integrated, physically-based surface/subsurface hydrological models and multi-component reactive transport models to computationally frugal analytical solutions, to meet this objective. My research goals stem from an interest in developing effective and efficient tools for water resource management and planning, and closing the gap between cutting-edge scientific tools and those utilized by resource managers, industry, and other stakeholders. | 2019-04-24T08:48:35 | https://geography.ku.edu/brookfield-andrea |

Hepatic lipidosis is a liver disease primarily affecting cats when they stop eating. Obese cats are particularly at risk. It can ensue within days of complete anorexia. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict which cats and when. Individual cats seem to have an individual predisposition for and rate of developing hepatic lipidosis. Generally, any age or breed of cat can be affected. Hepatic lipidosis is considered a secondary disease, with the primary disease process causing the cat to stop eating. If hepatic lipidosis develops, treatment of the primary condition is complicated and the prognosis usually becomes somewhat poorer.
Hepatic lipidosis is also referred to as fatty liver disease. This is because of the liver literally becomes overwhelmed by an accumulation of excess amounts of fat. When the cat is not eating and no new energy is thus taken in, the body mobilizes energy stores. Fat is one such store. Cats, for some reason, mobilize the fat and deposit it in the liver. The function of the liver then becomes compromised.
Signs of hepatic lipidosis (and altered liver function in general) include: lethargy, nausea, icterus/jaundice (yellowing of the skin, whites of the eyes, and/or gums), vomiting, weight loss and anorexia. The signs are not always clear because the signs of the underlying primary disease process are usually occurring on top of this. Because fatty liver is caused by anorexia and itself causes anorexia, a vicious cycle can develop.
A presumptive diagnosis is based on clinical signs and routine blood work. There are several liver injury and function values on the general chemistry screen that can lead to a suspicion of this disease. Additional function tests can be run individually, if needed. Certain ultrasound findings can further support the diagnosis. Liver aspirates and/or biopsy are needed to definitively diagnose fatty liver, and are valuable for ruling out other liver diseases that may be the primary cause of anorexia.
Treatment is based on getting the cat to eat again. Although this sounds simple, it can be quite difficult and frustrating. Many require a feeding tube, typically into the esophagus, for weeks or even months before they will start eating again for themselves. Appetite stimulants can be used and other supportive and symptomatic treatments are usually indicated. Above all, the underlying disease needs to be identified and treated if possible.
The prognosis for cats with hepatic lipidosis varies based on the severity of the underlying disease, duration of anorexia, liver values etc., but is generally poor to fair. A very dedicated owner is necessary, as rather intense at home care is often needed. The owner must have a realistic understanding of the prognosis, as well. This being said, some cats do very well and go on to have no long-term liver dysfunction. | 2019-04-25T07:52:34 | https://metro-vet.com/references/hepatic-lipidosis/ |
The AP is reporting that the campaign is going to hit its internal goal of $1.5m raised in the first quarter of 2003. This is a far cry from the other campaigns (Kerry and Edwards are both in the $4m to $5m range), but responses from some pundits are positive.

The local comedy world is in mourning following the shock death of beloved satirist John Clarke.
Clarke, a regular fixture in TV and film – most prominently his groundbreaking political interviews with Bryan Dawe – died while on a hiking trip in Victoria, aged 68.
His death has sparked countless tributes from local comedy personalities who worked with the prolific star and have spoken about his enduring legacy.
Most notable among those has been fellow giant of Australian comedy Barry Humphries, who is outraged at Clarke's sudden passing.
"How dare he die! John wasn't just funny, he was original and he was very, very nice," Humphries said.
"When Bruce Beresford and I were making the first Barry Mackenzie movie in the early '70s we had a scene in a London pub favoured by Australians. We'd cast a mob of noisy Aussies drinking and when we ran the somewhat random footage Bruce said, 'Watch this bloke'. We ran it again and froze frame on a young man at the bar drinking. He might have had one line, or maybe just a word, but he was terribly funny and terribly real. It was John Clarke.
"I've been watching him and admiring him ever since. He deserves a state funeral."
Frank Woodley, who worked as a script editor and "mentor" on his 1997 series The Adventures Of Lano And Woodley with Colin Lane, shares Humphries' admiration. "From the first time I heard a Fred Dagg cassette to this week's Clarke and Dawe, John Clarke made me laugh. Every time," he said.
"John could be silly and serious but he always had a twinkle in his eyes that made me happy. 'Trust your instincts. You boys know what you're doing.' I can still hear John's distinctive dry voice saying that to me as if it was yesterday."
Charlie Pickering, host of ABC's comedy slot The Weekly, on which Clarke and Dawe appeared last year, praised Clarke's towering impact on local political satire.
"If you are going to have the nerve to make jokes about the news in Australia, you do so knowing you will never clear the bar set by John Clarke," he said.
"John and I once talked about how writing a good comedy script was somewhere between poetry and physics. Whatever that middle ground is, John Clarke deserved the Nobel Prize."
He had "an incalculable gift" for comedy, said Max Gillies, for whom Clarke wrote The Gillies Report in 1984. "At school we were told sarcasm was the lowest form of wit, but John Clarke spent his whole life giving the lie to that. It was in his comic bloodstream, a deep sense of outrage that kept his blood pumping and the electricity in his brain firing."
Wendy said Clarke was instrumental in making comedy mainstream by fighting for television funding in the mid '80s. In doing so, he gave and many others their big break.
"Comedy then just completely took off," she said. "It was the thing everybody wanted to watch. John had sown the seed. For something like 30 years, John has been advocating and mentoring for comedy to take its place among the Australian arts.
"I think his contribution to the nation has been peerless."
Fans, both local and from across the Tasman ("Now we'll claim him back. He's our Phar Lap of comedy," New Zealand director Taika Waititi said), shared personal recollections of the man – and tidbits of his most celebrated work.
"He was always a lovely guy to me," said Dave Hughes. "He was a brilliant man who made me laugh a lot from a very young age and continued to make me laugh over the past 25, 30 years. It's such a big loss."
"John can read the Mildura phonebook and get a laugh," said Matthew Saville, who directed him in his final film role, as real estate agent Phillip Lang in 2015's A Month of Sundays.
Wil Anderson, who spent much of the day leading a YouTube deep-dive into Clarke's best bits, called Clarke "the funniest satirist on TV, until the end that came way too soon."
Clarke's stablemates over at ABC, including 7:30's Leigh Sales, also shared their memories of the comedy legend.
"Respected by his peers, adored by his fans, loved by his colleagues with a reputation as one of the nicest blokes," wrote Sales. | 2019-04-24T01:10:34 | https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/john-clarkes-incalculable-gift-for-sarcasm-deserved-nobel-prize-say-friends-comedians-20170410-gvhq4l.html |

The threat of nuclear attack by a great power or a rogue state is a major reason why every U.S. administration since the end of the Cold War has validated the need to maintain a safe, secure, and credible nuclear triad. Russia maintains a large stockpile of nuclear warheads and continues to adhere to military doctrine that indicates it might be willing to use nuclear weapons to coerce the United States and its allies in a crisis. Both Russia and China are funding multiple programs to modernize their nuclear arsenals, and the proliferation of advanced military technologies has allowed North Korea to fast-track its nuclear weapons development program.
Given this context, CSBA’s new report assesses arguments that have been made for and against replacing DoD’s nuclear Air-Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) with the Long-Range Standoff (LRSO) weapon, and modernizing its Minuteman III ICBM force with the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD). DoD has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to extend ALCMs and Minuteman IIIs far past their original planned service lives. Today, it is increasingly apparent that these Cold War-era weapon systems will not meet future requirements, and further delaying their replacements could result in ALCM and Minuteman III inventories falling below the level needed to sustain the U.S. strategic deterrent posture.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says he has "no respect" for Charlton boss Les Reed after the way he treated him during England's Euro 2000 campaign.
Reed, who faces Gerrard at The Valley on Saturday, was part of Kevin Keegan's coaching team in Germany.
And Gerrard said in his autobiography: "To this day I have no respect for Reed or (England coach) Derek Fazackerley.
"I felt they could have shown me more sympathy. They were always pushing me, telling me to buck up my ideas."
He added: "They didn't seem to understand that not everyone can board a plane, settle in a strange hotel far from the family they love and find it easy.
"My homesickness worsened whenever I was forced to be in their company."
Reed did not appear aware of Gerrard's ill-feeling towards him when he discussed their meeting when in-form Liverpool travel to Charlton.
He said: "Steven Gerrard came into the senior England squad for the first time when I was working with Kevin Keegan.
"I've got his framed Euro 2000 shirt hanging on my wall saying 'best wishes Steven Gerrard', so I have come across him.
"I think he's such a dedicated player, he loves playing for Liverpool and he loves playing for England. He'll do whatever his coach asks him to do." | 2019-04-18T20:49:28 | http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/6181993.stm |

The ceremony begins at 5:00pm, and we are delighted and honored to have as guest speakers Dr. Susan Love – surgeon, author, researcher, and “a ‘founding mother’ of the breast cancer advocacy movement.” She also will be with us during the day, and her latest book will be available for sale and signing.
After the presentations a brief Reception will be held from 6:30-7:30pm. Come snack, mingle and meet paddling sisters from near and far!
Stick around for a spectacular send off before you head off to spend your Friday evening exploring the area and enjoying all that it has to offer! Check www.visitsarasota.org for dining suggestions.
Check our website for the race schedule http://www.sarasotabcs2014festival.org/program-of-events/racing-schedule/ to see when you will need to be at NBP. We are operating on a very tight time schedule and you MUST be in marshaling at least 30 minutes prior to your event! If you are driving to NBP allow plenty of time for parking.
See “Transportation” section in the Friday section above and check the bus schedule in your Souvenir Bag or on the Festival website.
Lunch will be served to credentialed paddlers and supporters in the Dining Tent between 10:30 am and 2:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. You can eat in the Dining Tent or bring your food back to your tent area. A table and 20 chairs will be provided in your tent. In addition, a variety of food vendors will be on hand for anyone who wants to purchase food or snack items. Water stations will be available at the venue. Please use your refillable Festival water bottle or bring your own beverages and food. However, please be aware that glass containers are not permitted at NBP.
Racers in the first TWO heats must be in marshaling promptly at 8:00am. Race will begin at 8:30 sharp – with OR without you! Racers in all other heats must report to marshaling at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled race time. Races will include two 500-meter heats for each team. This new, world-class racecourse will be set up with 8 lanes that are 13.5 meters wide and at least 3.5 meters deep. Each lane will have an anchored starting platform and trained volunteers will be holding boats for each start. See Rules & Regulations posted on the website on the home page. Saturday races should finish by 3:30 and will allow time to prepare for the evening’s activities.
We have planned for Saturday races to end by 3:30pm to allow time for participants to return to hotels and change into their parade attire. Buses will be available to transport credentialed participants from NBP to their hotels and later to “Main Street” in Lakewood Ranch (3 miles/1.8 km from NBP) and back. Also, plenty of parking will be available in the Lakewood Ranch Medical Center parking lots for those arriving by car/van.
Teams should arrive at Main Street between 5:00 – 6:00 pm. You should report to the Parade marshal, Kim Davis, and she will assign you and your team a number that corresponds to your place in the parade line.
Prizes for the team with the best parade costumes!
Teams should arrive for parade staging at Main Street Lakewood Ranch by 5:00pm, and they are encouraged to wear clothing reflective of their nation or region. Prizes will be awarded to teams with the best costumes exhibited during the parade. Don’t forget to bring your flags and banners, or you can use the banner from your team tent. While teams are waiting in the staging area they are encouraged to share their team songs/chants!
Parade Led by D’Mo Brass Band!
Teams will march to the “moves and music” of The Distinguished Men of Brass, locally known as the d’Mo Brass Band. These talented and entertaining musicians have performed on “America’s Got Talent” and will be leading the parade and performing for YOU. Teams will start marching down Main Street at 6:30pm and will follow d’Mo Brass Band in the order in which the whole team arrives at the staging area.
Restaurant, bars and retail stores in Lakewood Ranch will be “pinked-up” and their patrons will be waiting to see your pink bling, boas and wigs. They have no idea what a spectacle we will make! Food vendors and restaurants will be open, and you are invited to purchase your dinner from any of the many street vendors or sit down restaurants on Main Street. Tables and chairs will be available throughout the Main Street area for “eating & meeting,” and the outdoor entertainment and dancing will go on till 10:00pm.
Buses will be available to take you back to your hotel, but the last bus will leave Lakewood Ranch around 10:30pm. So if you choose to hang out in town, be sure to make your own transportation arrangements back to your hotel.
The Finals Round of the Festival will start on Sunday at 8:30 sharp! Racers in the first TWO heats of the day must be in marshaling promptly at 8:00am. Racers in all other heats must report to marshaling at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled race time.
Paddlers in the Final heat will remain on the water as we head directly into The Sandy Smith Global Race (TSSGR). Coordinated by Eleanor Nielsen, of the IBCPC Advisory Board and Dragons Abreast Toronto, this final race of the Festival welcomes a representative from each team to paddle together in the spirit of global friendship. After this race the TSSGR crews will join the paddlers from the final race heat in a touching, 18-boat Flower Ceremony – the largest to date – a true celebration of Survivorship and Sisterhood.
What better way to close out the 2014 IBCPC Festival than with the person whose vision, expertise, and leadership launched the BCS dragon boat movement?! Dr. Don McKenzie, – physician, exercise physiologist, researcher and “founding father of the BCS dragon boat movement,” is our featured speaker, and he will share with us his observations on the Festival and the state of BCS dragon boat paddling. You will also hear from the Festival’s Organizing Committee and the IBCPC leadership as they express their gratitude to our community partners who helped us host our pink paddling friends from all over the world.
We look forward to meeting again at the next IBCPC Participatory Race Festival! | 2019-04-24T22:51:37 | http://www.sarasotabcs2014festival.org/participant-information/ |
THis is wonderful! and beautifully written . . . and more, I want to be at that table, on that porch. I never had that, and this is the kind of rich writing about family that I’d love to be able to do -…. love this.
This is wonderful, Kim. I got goosebumps picturing the old dog running across the field! I’m really looking forward to reading more of your stories.
You’re sweet, Jessica. I’m loving ADKOF!! Let’s do an interview here sometime soon. Such a strong example of a woman’s story that needs to be heard.
Love the picture-you just have to wonder why all the sour faces. No one ever smiles in them.
This is great. Can we trade families? Mine definitely are not that interesting and tell nowhere NEAR the stories yours do. But you make such a great point: that we must ALWAYS be listening, ready for the story to present itself. Like Kathryn, I want to be on that porch, too.
Come on, Melissa. Sounds like a party!! I’d love it.
Wonderful blog post. I was missing home, and here I find a little piece here on your blog. I’ll drink something cold and sweet and swap stories with you any time!
Sally, I’m sorry you’re homesick. Where are you? Or, if you’re like me, home is WHAT you miss, not necessarily WHERE anymore.
And I’ll take you up on the invite! I’d love to hear your stories. Your wit always cracks me up.
Are you sure you aren’t one of my nieces or cousins, Kim? We shared those very same stories Sunday at an Aunt’s “homegoing” way out in the country complete with sweet tea and funeral home fans. I loved this writing of yours and look forward to more.
Absolutely beautiful and so true. In mine, we do that, but the guys stick around to listen to the women, even knowing they’ll take a verbal hit or two about men. And the matriarch, my mother, always has to say, “it was the weirdest thing I ever saw” or “she was the prettiest thing I ever saw.” Everything is something-est “she ever saw”.
You’re an amazing writer, Kimberly. I look forward to your book.
You’re too generous, Hope. I couldn’t be happier to know anybody than I am to know you. Thank you so much for your nurturing support. Can’t wait for our paths to cross in person!
Oh, I loved this. And of COURSE I listened! Our system was different–the porch was definitely a child-friendly zone, so nothing good was ever discussed there, but if you were small enough, you could hide under the kitchen table during leftover-packing and dishwashing, and that’s where I learned the most. Always wondered how boring it would be to hang out with the menfolk….
Kim, that’s great you have your own experience with family stories. I’m so happy you enjoyed the blog!
Beautiful! Am eagerly awaiting your future posts. Congratulations on taking the leap and starting your blog. The internet will be better for it!
I’m just overwhelmed by the encouraging comments, Carolyn, and delighted you enjoyed my little contribution. Thanks!
I’ve always wanted a house with a porch for this reason. There are two good places to share a story. Kitchen table and porch. I’m still hearing new old stories from my family. I look forward to hearing stories from yours.
Thanks, Nicki. I bet you have some fantastic tales!! Tell me sometime.
This is great — and I’m pretty darn envious of your family! It sounds like a wonderful way to hear stories — without apologies or censorship. Wow. You are very very lucky! | 2019-04-25T00:30:06 | https://kimberlybrockblog.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/what-she-would-have-said/ |
Roth IRAs can help combat one of retirees’ biggest fears: running out of money. Among folks who are currently retired, 37% cite outliving their savings and investments as one of their top fears, according to a recent Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies report.
It’s not just people who are already retired who are troubled, either: 55% of Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and 57% of respondents who are part of Generation X (born between 1965 and 1978) also count running out of money as a major retirement fear, according to an earlier Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies survey.
Spending sleepless nights worrying that your retirement savings are going to dwindle to $0 is no fun, no matter what age you are. But there is one retirement vehicle poised to ride to the rescue: The Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Let’s explore how this savings vehicle can help retirees save, plan and sleep at night.
IRAs come in two types: traditional and Roth. With a traditional IRA, investors have to start taking annual required minimum distributions (RMDs) when they reach age 70 ½. But a Roth IRA does not have these mandatory RMDs, so you can let your savings sit as long as you want, enjoying compounding growth. The fact that the money doesn’t have to come out of your account at a particular time can help retirees manage stress about running out of money.
You can contribute up to $6,000 to a Roth IRA this year, as long as you meet the income requirements. If you’re an eligible saver who is 50 or older, the maximum contribution rises to $7,000 thanks to an added benefit called catch-up contributions.
Single filers can only contribute the full amount if their adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $122,000. If their income is $137,000 or above, single filers can’t contribute at all. If their AGI is between $122,000 and $137,000, they can contribute a reduced amount. Married filers who file jointly can contribute the full amount only if they make less than $193,000. If they collectively make $203,000 or above, they can’t contribute at all. Married folks with an AGI between $193,000 and $203,000 can contribute a reduced amount.
Roth IRAs don’t just offer financial advantages. They enhance your ability to plan for precisely the kinds of old age contingencies that people who worry about outliving their savings fret about.
Nearly all retirees will experience a financial emergency at some point. Retirement is long and you are getting older, so it’s natural for healthcare expenses to become higher than you have been accustomed to in your earlier years. Not all health costs will be covered by Medicare, either. As valuable as Medicare coverage is to retirees, it won’t pay for exigencies like long-term care, should you end up needing it. Older folks may want to consider keeping a Roth IRA in reserve for a potential medical emergency, especially if they are concerned about draining their savings when they run into some exorbitant and unexpected costs.
Another thing to plan for is aging itself. Of the respondents in the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies survey, more than half of current retirees said they couldn’t plan the age they would live to — but among those who were able to estimate their personal life expectancy, the median age they think they will live to is 90. Life expectancy in the U.S. has been rising, on average, since at least the 1980s. Because a Roth IRA can be set aside indefinitely, it can provide a safety net for those later, and often more expensive, stages of retirement.
And speaking of later stages of retirement: You can keep contributing to a Roth IRA while you’re retired! If you continue to work in the earlier years of retirement, you can make Roth IRA contributions to shore up your finances for your later years, when you’ll be fully retired from the workforce.
Finally, Roth IRA funds can be passed on to your heirs tax-free. If you plan to leave your leftover money to your family, like children or grandchildren, they won’t be taxed on the amount if it comes from a Roth IRA. | 2019-04-21T00:28:30 | http://americannewsgroup.com/2019/02/11/how-a-roth-ira-can-save-your-retirement/ |
It should be pointed out that income property is that type of property that people and firms purchase and sometimes develop on. The goal is to lease out the property to tenants until such time that it has appreciated substantially in value, when they usually sell it. Income property is often commercial, although it can also be residential. In the latter case, financial experts speak of “non-owner occupied”. For these properties, higher interest rates than owner occupied mortgages can be asked, because they are classed as high risk mortgages.
Placentia Income Property for Sale & Lease – Should You Buy or Lease?
If you are interested in income property in Placentia, whether as an investment or for construction or any other purpose, you may want to choose between buying or leasing.
Your monthly expenses will remain unchanged because amortizations remain constant during the duration of the mortgage.
You can lease out some of your space in order to earn additional income.
You have the option to use your income property for personal reasons should you not be able to find a lessee.
You can benefit from the tendency of the value of the income property to rise over time.
You do not have much flexibility, which means that if for any reason you need to relocate, you will need to sell the property first.
You have high upfront costs, not in the least because of the 30% down payment on the mortgage. You will also have maintenance, appraisal, and other property management costs to pay.
Unfortunately, income property, by its very definition, is not suitable for leasing. If you were to lease an income property, then you would do so for your own personal use, turning it into a residential property. As a result of this, the only statistics that should be of interest to you are those of prices, supply, and demand for purchased income properties. On the other hand, if would be great to have some statistics on leasing these properties if possible, as those could give you an idea of what you will be able to earn on your property.
The asking price for income properties in Placentia $314,841.90, which is a 0.7% increase over the past three months, and a 10.5% increase year on year. This is higher than the state ($206,014) area and the metro ($254,071.41) area.
The index of total dollars available for income properties for sale in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Placentia is 29, which represents a 13.4% increase over the past three months but a 2.5% decrease year on year.
The index of total number of listings of income properties available in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Placentia is 24, which is an 8.9% increase over the past three months, but a 1.3% decrease year on year.
The profile view index of income property for sale in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Placentia metro area is 97, which is a 24.9% increase over the past three months, and a 22.5% increase year on year.
The index of total number of units of income property for sale in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Placentia area is 21, which is a 12.2% increase over the past three months, but an 11% decrease year on year.
Unfortunately, there are no trends and statistics available on potential income earned on leasing out a property that you have bought. This is in part due to the fact that you could purchase a vast array of different types of properties, and their monthly lease amounts can vary greatly. Investing in income property is one of the commercial real estate investments most likely to give you the highest possible returns if managed properly. At the same time, it is one of the most complicated options out there, due to the variety of opportunities that are available. | 2019-04-20T19:03:04 | http://commercialorangecounty.com/placentia-income-property-sale-lease/ |
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has raised Thailand’s economic growth forecast this year by 0.5% from a previous forecast in April to 4.5%, while cutting Asean’s economic growth forecast to 5.1% from previously 5.2%. ADB on Wednesday launched its “Asian Development Outlook 2018 Update: Maintaining Stability Amid Heightened Uncertainty”.
ADB also raised its forecast of Thailand’s gross domestic product (GDP) for 2019 to 4.3% from previously 4.1%, while keeping the forecast of Asean’s GDP for 2019 unchanged at 5.2%.
Thailand’s stronger growths in export, private consumption and infrastructure development projects were among key factors leading ADB to raise the economic outlook for Thailand this year and next year.
The export alone is now forecast to grow by 10% in the year to come, said ADB.
Private consumption was forecast to grow 4.0% this year and 4.5% next year, thanks to a rise in income generation and employment rates, said ADB.
Investment in the private sector in the last half of this year will increase, while investment in the public sector is projected to rise in only a short term while the government is injecting funds into its infrastructure development projects, said ADB.
ADB, however, warned that expansion in the farming sector in the last half of this year tends to drop from the first half of the year due to the impact of abundant rainfall in August.
Thailand was also cautioned about the possibility of a capital outflow as a result of the continual US-China trade war as international investors are looking for higher interest rates, ADB. | 2019-04-18T14:17:15 | https://www.thaipbsworld.com/adb-raises-economic-outlook-for-thailand-cut-forecast-growth-for-asean/ |
Earth's Internet & Natural Networking: Todd Dawson's Lab!
When I think of Todd Dawson's work, I think of my own obsession of wondering what is going on under the ground as opposed to walking through the woods and looking at all the beautiful scenery. Yes of course the scenery is beautiful and exciting. However, my metamorphosis and obsession with underground biological life networking came about over a long period of time. While I always had interest in 'Botany' & 'Plants', I gradually came to realize through my own study and research that a healthy above ground paradisaic scenario is made only possible and a success by a properly installed under ground networked system.
Nature, when not interfered with, takes care of itself. However, human's on the other hand are wowed by the Ooooooo-facter of various Large Corporate Marketing Schemes when it comes gardening and landscaping. Billions of Dollars in advertising over almost a century has indoctrinated people on Earth that Chemicals are the answer for your every need in the garden and landscape and without them you are bound to fail. Careful consideration should always be given to just exactly how things work in nature and then simply replicate these processes by developing practical application concepts into your own project. The mistake comes when mankind believes they can out perform and improve upon nature. No need to list the failures of this thinking. Anyone can read and listen to the News today and see that human's are rapidly destroying our planet.
That aside, let's get back to what work Todd Dawson and his team have pioneered. There are terms and phrases they research called 'Hydraulic Lift' - 'Hydraulic Redistribution' - 'Hydraulic Descent' and all of this has to do with a root phenomena where by roots of key species of any type of ecosystem facilitate the redistribution of water and nutrients through yet another complex and sophisticated piece of "Earth Internet" hardware called a mycorrhizal network or grid. These mycorrhizal organisms are nothing more than beneficial fungus which uses mycelial network fibers to inter-connect with various species of plants in an underground mutualistic association. In a nut shell the fungi provide an increased rate of absorbtion by 200% of water and nutrients and gives these to the trees or shrubs and in turn, the fungi who can't manufacture their own food through photosynthesis are rewarded from the plant carbons and other sugars by which the fungi survives.
Below is an animated illustration off Todd Dawson's Lab site which beautifully illustrates just what happens during daylight hours, nighttime and even during the rainy season.

Arrows shown the dominant flow direction determined by sapflow. (d) Graph showing sap velocity. Positive values mean that water flows to the plant, and negative values means away from the plant into the surrounding soil. The dashed line represents a rain event (36 mm). See the text for a complete explanation.
One of the first articles I ever read was a piece done above Todd Dawson's research work on the role Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) play in it's temperate forested ecosystem. It was exactly similar to something I had read about desert tree called Honey Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora) grows to a height of up to 12 metres (39 ft) and has a trunk with a diameter of up to 1.2 meters (3.9 ft). Its roots are able to grow to a great depth in search of water: in 1960, they were discovered at a depth of 53 meters (175 feet) at an open-pit mine near Tucson, Arizona, putting them among the deepest known roots.
"By comparing variations in isotopic concentrations taken from different sources, they were able to show that mature streamside trees do not use stream water but used deep groundwater. When Dawson came to Cornell in 1990, he looked for ways to combine his research in water use with his interest in woody plants and their distribution and physiology. During the summers of 1991and 1992, Dawson observed the water use of Maples."
"Streamside Trees That Do Not Use Steam Water"
The above info has intrigued my interest because of my passion for finding evidence for an Ancient Earth minerotrophic hydrological cycle which no longer exists on the Earth for the most part, though it does in it's parts. There are hints and clues everywhere and the technologies we can develop from learning about these natural processes are incredible and vitally important given the sad state of health conventional science has brought to mankind and the world around them.
"Scientists at UC Berkley are embarking on a new project to understand how global warming is effecting our fresh water supply. And they are doing it by tracking individual raindrops Mendicino and north of Lake Tahoe."
Here is the video link which is only about ten minutes long. Enjoy!
"Root Functioning Modifies Seasonal Climate"
Hydraulic redistribution (HR), the nocturnal vertical transfer of soil water from moister to drier regions in the soil profile by roots, has now been observed in Amazonian trees. We have incorporated HR into an atmospheric general circulation model (the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmospheric Model Version 2) to estimate its impact on climate over the Amazon and other parts of the globe where plants displaying HR occur. Model results show that photosynthesis and evapotranspiration increase significantly in the Amazon during the dry season when plants are allowed to redistribute soil water. Plants draw water up and deposit it into the surface layers, and this water subsidy sustains transpiration at rates that deep roots alone cannot accomplish. The water used for dry season transpiration is from the deep storage layers in the soil, recharged during the previous wet season. We estimate that HR increases dry season (July to November) transpiration by ≈40% over the Amazon. Our model also indicates that such an increase in transpiration over the Amazon and other drought-stressed regions affects the seasonal cycles of temperature through changes in latent heat, thereby establishing a direct link between plant root functioning and climate.
From time to time I will add to this page further research done by Dawson and other who vision along the same line of thought and discovery. Keep checking for updated page. | 2019-04-24T17:47:21 | http://creating-a-new-earth.blogspot.com/2012/03/todd-dawsons-lab.html |

There are certain times, like a new year when it might seem like the perfect point to make a fresh start but good habits can start any time.
Could you improve your savings?
It’s never too late to take stock of your finances and check where your money is going every month. Could you spend more mindfully and make savings? We all like to have a few treats but do you have enough set aside for those untimely emergencies, like a car repair, a leaking roof or even losing your job?
With more than 16m people in the UK with savings of less than £100[i], Yorkshire Building Society is encouraging people to boost their savings this year. How many of these tips can you use to make a difference to your savings?
Give your finances the once-over – A good place to start is a thorough review of your regular income and outgoings. What are the essentials and what could you do with less of? After the essentials, work out what’s left each month and see if you can cut back on any of those ‘luxuries’ to start saving.
I’d forgotten about that one – Check out your direct debits. Are you still paying for a gym membership you’re no longer using? Have you compared your utilities prices recently? Maybe you could make savings with the essentials by just switching providers for your gas and electricity or broadband.
If you find a saving, you could set up a regular transfer to a savings account for the amount you’ve saved. You didn’t miss it before so you shouldn’t now!
Swap or drop – how about making instead of buying your own lunch each day? Or drop just a couple of shop-bought coffees a week to save over £250 a year.
Budget – once you have a clear view of your monthly spending, create a budget that works for you and your family and stick to it. Your family budget will have to earmark money for the essentials, but also some cash for the fun things and an amount to save every month. Try our Budget calculator.
A little saving can make a big difference - even £50 a month, or the equivalent of one social night out, would add up to £600 over the course of the year.
When you’re saving for something specific or want to build up your savings for a rainy day, rather than simply leaving it in your current account, it’s a good idea to set up a new savings account where you can see your cash build up.
If you’re setting your cash aside, having this separate account can help you avoid the temptation of dipping into your savings.
A lot of providers will let you name your account too, so whether you go with ‘New bathroom’, ‘Monthly set aside’ or ‘Sports car’ it’ll help to keep you focussed on your goal.
There are many different types of savings accounts on the market.
You could set up a standing order so that money is taken from your bank account automatically each month (such as on pay day), so you can see your monthly budget up front for the month. Alternatively you could sweep any money left in your account at the end of the month into your savings account. You might be surprised how quickly this builds up.
According to the Money Advice Service, saving this way could mean you’ll save more than you would do otherwise. What’s more, this could help you get into the habit of saving on a regular basis.
Take a look at our variety of savings accounts.
Louise Halliwell, Senior Product Manager for Savings at Yorkshire Building Society, said: “Saving money can sometimes be an afterthought, with essentials or the nicer things in life taking priority, but starting to build a healthy savings pot doesn’t have to be difficult.
“For those that don’t currently save money regularly, it can be daunting to know how to start. Take a close look at your incomings and outgoings to increase awareness of your situation and from there look at how you could make small changes to the way you spend money. | 2019-04-21T00:42:45 | https://www.ybs.co.uk/guides/my-money/getting-into-the-saving-habit/index.html |

Blanche Cook, financial director and part owner of Yachting Developments died recently of cancer.
New Zealand’s yachting community is mourning the loss through cancer of Blanche Cook, financial director and part owner of Yachting Developments. Cook passed away on March 28 while the Superyacht Gathering was in progress, a new event for the New Zealand yachting calendar but one in which she and her husband Ian, the managing director of Yachting Developments, had given substantial support through being foundation partners.
Blanche Cook was an integral member of the Yachting Developments family. Owner, mentor, mother-figure and friend, her larger-than-life presence pervaded the entire yard. Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, she worked side-by-side with Ian to build Yachting Developments into an internationally-respected and award-winning operation.
Blanche was heavily involved in New Zealand’s marine community, serving as vice chairperson of the NZ Marine Export Group, supporting the yard’s busy apprenticeship scheme and providing her support to a wide range of yachting causes, particularly the rescue and restoration of numerous classic yachts.

One of my heroes is Frederick Douglass. I have a list of folks whose stuff I regularly read on and read about and Frederick Douglass is one of them. Words in today’s world have grown to be an interesting sensation. I believe in the power of words via teaching, preaching, blogging, writing, etc. At the essence, I do believe in the adage that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” I just think that claim is tested today like never before because in our digital and social media world, it’s easy to be posers, pretenders, and well, people full of words and lacking in the deeper context and story of meaning, substance, labor, pursuit, perseverence, and conviction. What am I saying? Words are nice but actions need to accompany words.
Why do I admire Frederick Douglass? It’s not just his words but it’s his life and struggles and his perseverance, courage, and faith in the midst.
Frederick Douglass (1818 – 1895) was an American abolitionist, women’s suffragist, editor, orator, author, statesman and reformer. Douglass is one of the most prominent figures in African-American and United States history. In 1872, Douglass became the first African American nominated as a Vice Presidential candidate in the U.S., running on the Equal Rights Party ticket with Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for President of the United States.
I find, since reading over the foregoing Narrative, that I have, in several instances, spoken in such a tone and manner, respecting religion, as may possibly lead those unacquainted with my religious views to suppose me an opponent of all religion. To remove the liability of such misapprehension, I deem it proper to append the following brief explanation. What I have said respecting and against religion, I mean strictly to apply to the “slave holding religion” of this land, and with no possible reference to Christianity proper; for, between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference–so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slave holding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed.
I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity. I look upon it as the climax of all misnomers, the boldest of all frauds, and the grossest of all libels. Never was there a clearer case of “stealing the livery of the court of heaven to serve the devil in.” I am filled with unutterable loathing when I contemplate the religious pomp and show, together with the horrible inconsistencies, which every where surround me. We have men-stealers for ministers, women whippers for missionaries, and cradle-plunderers for church members.
The man who wields the blood clotted cowskin during the week fills the pulpit on Sunday, and claims to be a minister of the meek and lowly Jesus. The man who robs me of my earnings at the end of each week meets me as a class-leader on Sunday morning, to show me the way of life, and the path of salvation. He who sells my sister, for purposes of prostitution, stands forth as the pious advocate of purity. He who proclaims it a religious duty to read the Bible denies me the right of learning to read the name of the God who made me. He who is the religious advocate of marriage robs whole millions of its sacred influence, and leaves them to the ravages of wholesale pollution. The warm defender of the sacredness of the family relation is the same that scatters whole families,–sundering husbands and wives, parents and children, sisters and brothers,–leaving the hut vacant, and the hearth desolate. We see the thief preaching against theft, and the adulterer against adultery.
We have men sold to build churches, women sold to support the gospel, and babes sold to purchase Bibles for the POOR HEATHEN! ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE GOOD OF SOULS! The slave auctioneer’s bell and the church-going bell chime in with each other, and the bitter cries of the heart-broken slave are drowned in the religious shouts of his pious master. Revivals of religion and revivals in the slave-trade go hand in hand together. The slave prison and the church stand near each other. The clanking of fetters and the rattling of chains in the prison, and the pious psalm and solemn prayer in the church, may be heard at the same time. The dealers in the bodies and souls of men erect their stand in the presence of the pulpit, and they mutually help each other. The dealer gives his blood-stained gold to support the pulpit, and the pulpit, in return, covers his infernal business with the garb of Christianity. Here we have religion and robbery the allies of each other –devils dressed in angels’ robes, and hell presenting the semblance of paradise.
# BTW this a Good BIO !
Wow. You are right. Everyone needs to read that quote. I can’t get it out of my head.
wow. amazing how relevant that excerpt is for today. btw the four brief quotes at the bottom are amazing too. i’m going to steal one for my blog. yoink!
Man. That’s some heavy stuff. Thanks for sharing. I haven’t read much of his letters/work.
What I personally took away from it is more of an understanding of where we’re at today, in terms of the church. Vince Antonucci spoke at our church Sunday night and some stats were shared about the decline of church attendance in America. Basically, the trend shows we’re just about 20 years behind Europe, which is at 5 percent attendance in many parts.
Then you read something like this and realize the Church has faced far worse times and bigger challenges. I know there’s hypocrisy today, and it will always exist in the church, but I can’t imagine attempting to stand up to it during Douglass’ time. Then again, maybe having something to stand up against had its benefits for the church. If apathy is our biggest challenge today, it may be harder to overcome.
woah… that’s quite a quote. I think that that truth is often hidden in our history. we know we had slavery, but we sort of divorce it from our ideas of our grand christian history (which I personally don’t buy). Douglas is one of the only people who is calling out the church back WITHIN the time that this is happening. Way cool.
Hear Hear Fred. To be a Christian is to be constantly tearing down the false idols that purport to be Christian. -misquote of Pete Rollins.
How will future generations view our complicity?
My “must read” list just got longer. That his words, written so long ago, can speak to today so strongly is amazing to me.
That was so great! I’ve never considered Frederick Douglas, probably because I’ve never been exposed to any of his writing. He’s kind of the Mark Twain of his time – seeing the obvious contradiction between the religious climate of the time inside the churches and what’s considered acceptable outside the churches. I’m definately going to have to read more.
Thank you for the gift of this quote.
I would love to know its source: book? sermon?
I believe this is from or can be found in The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas. I read this in high school many years ago and it still lingers in the back of my mind. And excellent book.
I prayed for 20 yrsand recieved no answer until I prayed with my legs that is beautiful and powerful but I want to get a full understaning of it. help!!!
Really good stuff. Why is he not more famous?
What an incredible narrative. I could not help but think that so much of it can still be addressed to the church today.
It seems to me that praying with your legs means putting your prayer into action — participating actively in manifesting (co-creating with God, if you will) the blessings you seek. | 2019-04-22T16:44:46 | https://eugenecho.com/2010/02/10/the-courage-and-convictions-of-frederick-douglass/ |

What is a RaisinPi Drive?
A fundraising campaign for a RaisinPi approved non-profit organization with the intent to raise funds for a specific purpose. RaisinPi offers fundraisers the opportunity to run two different types of Drives, Active or Passive.
What is an Active Drive?
Our most successful type of Drive, Active Drives, have individuals (students, athletes, or parents) promote and sell RaisinPi memberships for their fundraiser. We call these individual sellers, Drivers.
Active Drives offer the ability to assign goals or quotas and track the sales of both individual Drivers and groups of Drivers, such as classes, grade levels or teams. Throughout an Active Drive, RaisinPi provides each individual Driver with their own promotional tools and engages them regularly through email with sales tips, reports and goal tracking. There is no limit to the number of Drivers you can have in an Active Drive.
What is a Passive Drive?
In a Passive Drive, you, as the RaisinPi contact for your organization, are the only person promoting and selling RaisinPi to your organization and community. RaisinPi provides you with everything you’ll need to promote and sell online, via email, social media and face to face.
What is a RaisinPi Driver?
A RaisinPi Driver is any person that promotes and sells RaisinPi memberships on behalf of an Active Drive.
What is a RaisinPi Goal?
The amount of money that an organization is trying to raise with its Drive. In the case of an Active Drive, individual Drivers can also be assigned a goal amount or quota.
What is a RaisinPi Supporter?
Any person that purchases a one-year membership to RaisinPi on behalf of a particular Drive.
No. It is free for organizations to sign-up and participate in RaisinPi.
Who is eligible to fundraise with RaisinPi?
RaisinPi is available to non-profit organizations only. Currently, we are enrolling non-profit schools and youth leagues.
How much does it cost my Supporters to purchase RaisinPi?
A RaisinPi membership is $25. From the date of purchase, supporters receive a full year of great savings from local retailers, restaurants, entertainment & attractions, and online savings, too.
How much profit does my organization earn?
Your organization will earn 60% of all proceeds. So, for every $25 one-year RaisinPi membership sold by your organization, you will receive $15. There is no limit to the amount you can raise.
How will my organization be paid?
The easiest way for RaisinPi to pay your organization is through your organization’s PayPal account. Each $25 RaisinPi Membership purchased on behalf of your Drive will result in $15 immediately being deposited into your organization’s PayPal account. PayPal is the recommended method for payout, however; there are other options available if your organization does not have a PayPal account.
What if my organization does not have a PayPal account?
If your organization does NOT have a PayPal account, email us at fundraisers@raisinpi.com for an alternate solution that will pay your organization via check on a quarterly schedule.
Do my Supporters need a PayPal account to purchase a RaisinPi Membership?
No. Supporters can choose to purchase RaisinPi Memberships online with a credit card or their PayPal account.
Can my organization change the price of RaisinPi for our Supporters?
No. A one-year RaisinPi membership is $25 for everyone.
Will my organization be paid for memberships purchased after my Drive is over?
Yes. One of the many benefits of using RaisinPi as your Fundraiser is that word spreads. Regardless of date and location, you will be paid 60% for each membership sold by your organization.
How do I register my organization for RaisinPi?
Simply go to http://raisinpi.com/fundraising and sign up to participate. Once registered, we'll email you with access to your secure RaisinPi portal where you’ll create your Fundraising Drive.
What is the RaisinPi Portal?
Your RaisinPi Portal is where you’ll create and manage your fundraising Drive for your organization and have access to materials to promote and sell RaisinPi memberships to your community.
What are the requirements for my organization’s Drive to be approved?
How long should our RaisinPi Drive last?
You define the start and end dates based on when you want to begin promoting your Drive and the time you think it will take to reach your financial goals. Our most successful Drives are typically eight weeks.
Is the information I upload to RaisinPi private?
Who promotes and sells RaisinPi?
In an Active Drive, individuals in your organization (students, athletes or parents) promote and sell RaisinPi Memberships to their family, friends and community. You can assign each Driver goals, quotas and track their individual sales. The greatest advantage to an Active Drive is that RaisinPi handles most of the administrative tasks for you. This includes emailing status updates to you, emailing your Drivers with sales information, tips and sales reports and providing customer service.
In a Passive Drive, you’re the only person promoting and selling RaisinPi to your organization and your community. RaisinPi provides you with everything you’ll need to promote and sell online, via email, social media and face to face.
Can I track the success of individual Drivers?
Yes. You can track overall and individual sales progress towards goals.
How does RaisinPi help me promote my Drive?
Upon approval, you will be provided several customizable tools in your RaisinPi Portal to help you promote your Drive.
The online Sales Page is where your supporters come to learn everything about your Drive and to purchase memberships to RaisinPi.
If you are running an Active Drive, each of your Drivers will have their own customized Sales Page, too.
How do Supporters purchase RaisinPi Memberships?
Supporters are directed to either the organization’s Sales Page or an individual Driver’s Sales Page. From there, they can buy their RaisinPi membership using PayPal or Credit Card. Your Drive is credited for any purchase made on your organization Sales Page or any of your Drivers Sales Pages.
Can a Supporter purchase more than one RaisinPi Membership?
Yes. Supporters can purchase as many memberships as they’d like, and then they can send them as gifts to friends, family or colleagues through the RaisinPi app.
How do I sell RaisinPi on Social Media?
In your RaisinPi Portal we’re provided an easy template that allows you to post information about your Drive on Facebook or Twitter with one click. When supporters click on the Facebook graphic or link on Twitter, they're taken directly to your Sales Page where they can buy RaisinPi memberships.
How do I sell RaisinPi using Email?
In your RaisinPi Portal we’ve provided you with a pre-written email that includes a link to your Sales Page where supporters can buy RaisinPi memberships. Copy and paste the email into your email program and send to anyone you’d like.
How do I sell RaisinPi face-to-face?
If you have an upcoming meeting, family gathering or neighborhood event, you can sell RaisinPi memberships right on your phone, tablet or computer. Open your sales page and your Supporters can see information and a video about your Drive, the local coupons, and online savings available. They can then buy membership(s) using PayPal or their credit card.
Can I sell RaisinPi to people outside of my local area?
Absolutely! RaisinPi is a national platform and has coupons from many brands with thousands of locations across the U.S. and includes online savings, too.
What is my organizations' responsibility to our Supporters that purchased RaisinPi?
Your organization has no responsibility because RaisinPi will manage the relationship and the delivery of a quality product to them throughout their year-long membership. Our Customer Success team is responsible for making sure that your Supporters are happy with our product and getting the most value out of their membership.
How many coupons fit in the app?

If blocked pores become infected or inflamed, a pimple -- a raised red spot with a white center -- forms. If the pore clogs, closes, and then bulges, you have a whitehead. A blackhead occurs when the pore clogs, stays open, and the top has a blackish appearance due to oxidation or exposure to air. (This has nothing to do with skin being "dirty"). | 2019-04-19T15:03:57 | https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/acne/qa/what-happens-when-blocked-pores-on-your-face-become-infected-or-inflamed |

Maintain the momentum - Make your next job search easier by capitalising on the work you put into landing this role.
"Successful people start new jobs with their exit strategy in place."

That's important and this session is designed to help you do that.
It's also designed to make sure that your new role enhances your future career prospects.
This session helps you do that.
We know you just want to dump the 'job hunting' file at the back of the shelf, or press 'delete' and just back to your regular life and new job - BUT but you need to muster a 'final hurrah' to make sure job hunting next time is easier.
This workshop helps you do that. | 2019-04-21T20:34:55 | https://www.landitcoaching.com/program-formatnewjob |

Hello Tatertots & Jello Friends!
I’m so happy to be back here today and share with you our Ginger Bread House Kit.
Homemade Ginger Bread and of course build with it our Ginger Bread Christmas Village.
This year we made an extra house to give to one of our neighbors as a building kit.
It was really simple to put the kit together.
First make your ginger bread, cut and bake the houses.
Making the houses is our favorite part!
After your house has cooled down hold it together using baker’s twine.
Then put a bunch of candy to decorate the house inside of a clear treat bag.
You can find the bags over at Wal-Mart and Craft Stores.
to the kit so your neighbors, family and friends can have it as well.
Such a simple and cute way to wish a Merry Christmas to those you love!

During the past month, I extensively wrote about Human Resource issues dealing with Coaching and other topics. In this article, I will discuss the leadership attributes of delegation. I usually refuel my car at one particular filling station on the A1 road, and they have become fond of me as I often purchase the Mail & Guardian newspapers when fuelling. On this one particular occasion, I struck up a conversation with the filling station supervisor and with curiosity getting the better of me I enquired about how the supervisor performs her duties on a day-to-day basis. To my surprise, the supervisor was honest enough to point out that her superior being the filling station manager does not delegate certain tasks to his subordinates, thereby making them feel irrelevant.
Form the conversation I could pick up that there was an issue with delegation and not trusting the employees to perform at their optimum. Senior Management of most organisations strives for inclusiveness of resources so as performed tasks effectively, efficiently and on time. However, for this to be realised, line managers need to trust and empower their subordinates with responsibilities, accountability and authority relevant to their roles and levels in the organisation.
Delegation is not “Mme mphe bogobe”. Most leaders struggle with effective delegation of tasks and responsibilities. Even experienced managers struggle to delegate tasks effectively. One important rule in management is Delegation; managers need to be cognizance of the fact that they cannot do everything by themselves. Delegation does not take away responsibility rather it empowers and builds trust.
Effective delegation provides benefits for all parties concerned. I have witnessed cases where managers literally want to be the drivers, plumbers and cooks. How possible is that? Really? How can one individual perform all tasks effectively without Delegating? Residing on and owning a farm has taught me a lot about delegation, authority and communication. As most farmers would agree with me, running farm is a demanding task. Sometimes even much more difficult than a paid (8am – 5pm) work at your office. For a farmer to be able to do most of the farming tasks, one needs to delegate almost everything and monitor or assist for completion. I have my standard of excellence at the farm and I expect my Headman to meet that same standard. So I delegate as my 8 hours of my day is dedicated to my employer.
Delegation could be defined as a process of passing responsibility, authority and trusting a Subordinate to perform a task within expected standards. It involves empowering Subordinates to make decisions consistently with the delegated responsibility and authority that they have received. Delegation in most cases arises from broad or many tasks that need to be done. To my understanding, Delegation isn’t about giving total power to the subordinates. The ultimate responsibility and accountability still remains with the Manager. Delegation is a two-way street which involves the Manager instructing a Subordinate to strictly perform a specified task to a particular standard and within a specified timeline, and the Subordinate to clearly communicate and execute the task as assigned.
Delegation is not an endless task. One would ask – where are we getting it wrong as managers? Why are we failing as organisations? Could the problem lie within the power hungry individuals? Alternatively, does the problem lie with our Subordinates? Or is it our personal relationships and networks failing us to move from information power Managers to liberal Managers? Reading this article, I hope it will provide a better assessment for both managers and subordinates on how to work together effectively.
The above questions are posed to you. I acknowledge that each industry has its own culture. However, Delegation is universal across all sectors. How we delegate will differ from scope, cost and time of tasks to be delegated. I am now addressing the elephant in the room. If you have self-awareness of this issue, you will appreciate this article much more and find answers to your own case.
On the other side of the equation the blame comes from leadership of the organisation. Leadership in organisations are also barriers to effective delegation if they are reluctant and not trusting employees to perform tasks. From my experience, the majority of bottlenecks in delegation across organisations are mainly the Managers not trusting their subordinates. “For instance certain managers are unwillingly to delegate because of limelight and Glory”. In organisations we still have managers competing with their subordinates for some stupid and unnecessary things. These managers will take anything and everything on their wing to transport their CEO’s out of their sight.
It is important for organisations to train managers about the importance of delegation and allow them to train their subordinates about their priorities, business objectives and determine which tasks are more important at each moment. Another reason why Managers or Seniors fail to delegate is due to failing to plan their work. One serious barrier in management is the informal method of delegation used. The informal method is complicated and subordinates need to extensively understand the behaviour and pattern of high authority expectation. We have to give credit where it is due. Truly we always give thanks to the donkey cart driver than the donkey itself. The job is done at the bottom and the journey from house to the pond is covered by the donkey not the driver. The driver is there to give direction to the destination point. Lack of appreciation mainly from the Managers pushes employees to resist and accept delegation with ease.
Subordinates also have their own share of the blame and one particular concern by employees is laziness and incompetence. As indicated earlier, Delegation is a two-way street and employees have a role to play also. One challenge from employees is lack of own development. Subordinates mostly believe that development of their own career lies with Managers and the organisation. I bet to differ. Each and every employee is responsible for their own development and the organisation provides support for structured learning and development in this instance. At times, Managers’ lack of trust from Subordinates is due to incompetence and laziness. Employees as well need to come to the party and show their worth. Employees need to earn the trust from leadership or else they will always remain behind and become disengaged. Employees spend most of their time on social media platforms and in the process acquire knowledge that in most cases does not add value to their line of work. If employees do not care to embrace change and take charge of their own personal development, they will remain stack in the same position until Jesus comes.
I don’t like informal delegation at all and I have always preferred the SMART approach in Delegation. Make your instruction to be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time frame. In all possible means, SMART approach reduces these issues of unreasonable demands and request from Managers. In conclusion, Delegation is important everywhere, whether in families or churches. No man has ever been an island and every man is a piece of a puzzle connecting all the dots on this continent. Make sure your puzzle piece realised by making an impactful and meaningful contribution to society whether in your workplace, church or family. | 2019-04-22T15:10:44 | http://www.thepatriot.co.bw/business/item/6105-delegation-and-leadership.html |

People love photo booths because they are tons of fun, and props are a key part of that fun. We know this at least as well as anyone, which is why we pride ourselves in having the largest prop selection in the area full of fun stuff.
Our prop box is included with all rentals (unless requested otherwise) and is stocked with dozens of novelties. While there is always some variation in what we have as we replace items and find fun new props, we will always bring a collection of silly hats, feather boas, novelty glasses, and of course mustaches – lots and lots of mustaches. During the holiday season, we also stock Santa and elf hats and other Christmas-y and holiday style props.
Don’t Forget a Table for the Props!
With so many items, we highly recommend having a table available to spread the props out. Usually a standard 8 foot long or 6 foot round table will work well. If you are ordering a memory book with the rental, this will also require some table space, so the aforementioned 8 foot or 6 foot round table would be a bare minimum.
If you have a themed event where you want to have specific props, you have two options – you can request us to bring certain props (which may incur an additional fee) or you can bring your own. We have a pretty extensive inventory of stuff so the things you want us to bring may be already available, but if not we can sometimes accommodate requests at no additional cost or for a small fee. If you want to bring your own props, some great sources for props are Party City, Hobby Lobby, or Etsy which has tons of options if you’ve never shopped there.
Also Available … Custom Props!
We also now have the ability to make custom props! Want people to have your company logo at a corporate event or opening! Can do! A sign for your wedding’s hashtag? Also, possible. Just let us know what you’re looking for and we can probably make it. In some cases, depending on time and complexity, an additional charge may be required.
While you don’t need props to put together a great photo strip, it certainly doesn’t hurt, as this photo strip clearly shows. | 2019-04-22T05:12:32 | https://photoboothcincinnati.com/cincinnati-photo-booth-rental/photo-booth-prop-box |

The School Handbook is provided to help parents and guardians navigate the basic operations of the school day and provide information on annual programs and events that happen at the school. In addition, you will find local and district policies and procedures. These policies are written to protect your child's rights as well as the rights of others to learn and participate in a safe and respectful school environment.
Your child's safety is our utmost concern; therefore, we request that you contact the school by 9:00 a.m. if your son or daughter will not be attending school. If we fail to hear from you, we will attempt to contact you to verify your child's absence. Please feel free to leave a message at 802-254-2733, extension 2 before 9:00 a.m. If we cannot verify a student's absence, we will contact local authorities to investigate.
Our school day begins at 8:25 a.m. and ends at 2:45 p.m. Students arriving by bicycle, walking, or private car are asked to arrive at school between 8:05 and 8:20 a.m. Students arriving before 8:05 a.m. should report to the school playground where they will be supervised until Community Action Teams/Calm Activity Time (CAT) begins. Indoor supervision is provided when weather indicates the need. There is no supervision prior to 7:55 a.m; therefore, please do not drop your child off before that time.
Our school day ends at 2:45 p.m. It is important to review after school transportation plans with your children each day before school, so they know in advance whether they will be attending the ASPIRE Program, you will be picking them up from school, or if they'll ride the bus home. Please send a written note to your child's classroom teacher if there are changes in your child's after school transportation plans.
Unless students are participating in the ASPIRE Program, an after school tutorial, school sponsored club or sports team, they will need to go home (either by bus or parent pick-up) at 2:45 p.m.

On the 21st night of Ramadan in 1993, Habibe Husain, a Turkish immigrant and mother of three, received the inspiration to establish a charitable organization—a system to help people in her neighborhood who were struggling to make ends meet. The aforementioned inspiration even included the name of the organization: “Rahima Foundation”, a feminine version of “Ar-Rahim”, meaning The Compassionate, The Merciful, and The Just.
Habibe intuitively knew that there were families in the Bay Area who were struggling to meet their grocery needs but were perhaps too shy to ask for help. She started helping one friend...which turned into helping two acquaintances...and soon a number of people showed up. Some of those people sought help, while others sought to help her. She began taking in their donations (a bottle of oil, a sack of rice, pasta), stocking them in her garage, packing one grocery box at a time, and delivering them to the homes of deserving families. Soon, people began offering monetary donations, so she decided to register her non-profit as a 501(c)3 Charitable and Educational Foundation. The “Rahima Foundation” was born.
Decades ago, Rahima Foundation started with just the bare essentials. Today, Rahima Foundation supports families in many crucial ways—with groceries, hot meals served at several local shelters, socks/t-shirts/blankets/hygiene packs distributed to the homeless, school snack programs at several local schools, rental and utilities support, and student awards given to college-bound graduating high school seniors.
We accept in-kind donations of packaged products, as well as purchase items ourselves, to be stored in our warehouse, prior to distribution to those in need.
Join us today as we continue to expand and build stronger communities. Learn more about our programs.

Mark Alfano (left) and Abrol Fairweather (right) on virtue epistemology.
A long line of virtue ethicists believe that we need to understand the moral virtues—courage, benevolence, temperance, etc.—in order to address core questions in moral philosophy. Lately, there has been a surge of interest in virtue epistmeology, which holds that core questions in epistemology should be addressed in terms of epistemic virtues. In this conversation, Alfano and Fairweather discuss the advantages and challenges of virtue epistemology, with a special focus on issues arising from results in empirical psychology.
It seemed to me that the distinction between a virtuous action and an act of virtue wasn’t made clear. Zagzebski, for example, relies on this distinction when she defined knowledge as involving “acts of intellectual virtue” (this is from her chapter in the 1999 Blackwell Guide to Epistemology). She goes on to explain that such an act is the kind of act an intellectually virtuous person would do in the circumstances, even if the person actually doing it is not virtuous. This may allow at least her theory and others like it to escape some of the criticisms presented here, since it rules that people can have knowledge even when they aren’t, strictly speaking, virtuous. In fact, Mark Alfano’s comments right at the end are suggestive of this. He says that telling people that they have a virtue may be a way to get them to act like it. Since “acting like it” is all that is required by (at least some) virtue theories in order to get knowledge in some situation, perhaps they escape the “people don’t actually have these virtues” objection. | 2019-04-25T00:23:45 | http://www.philostv.com/mark-alfano-and-abrol-fairweather/ |

Casque Wines opened up its winery in Loomis in November of 2011 and opened a new Tasting Room at the Flower Farm in February 2013. | 2019-04-24T12:59:21 | http://anywinery.com/casque-wines-loomis-ca-usa/index.php |
Just over two years ago, a revolution in Kiev ushered in the downfall of the Ukranian government. Protests against the government’s refusal to sign pro-EU legislation lasting months had several violent outbursts that saw hundred of people injured and 780 killed. Toronto-based Ukrainian musician Marichka Kudriavtseva, in Kiev for work at the time, joined the protesters where she met Mark Marczyk, also based in Canada.
When the two returned from the Ukraine, they teamed up with Marczyk’s Lemon Bucket Orkestra to create Counting Sheep, an immersive “guerrilla folk opera”. A celebration of solidarity and the power of a collective voice, it also mourns those who died in the protests. Told from the perspective of the protesters, little is shared from the other side – but this rallying performance is fitting homage to not just the Ukrainian protesters, but those fighting government tyranny around the world.
Some audience sit around a huge table, whilst others sit on the sides of the space and still others up in a balcony. Klezmer or folk music is playing as the audience enters; there is a convivial atmosphere as the show formally starts. This is a party, or a wedding, or some other huge gathering, until the three screens display news reports of riots and police enter. The tone abruptly shifts, and the world that has been established is dismantled. It’s a wonderful, unsettling surprise.
The space is consistently reformed and redrawn using movement, and the audience is physically moved in the wake of the protesters’ gains and losses. They are willing and unquestioning, the sheep of the title. Though the numbers here obviously pale to those at the actual protest, incorporating the audience in acts such a building barricades and lobbing bricks at police fosters unity from disparate dozens. There is a hint of the solidarity and aggression found in protests, and joy and celebration from the audience who are keen to play. Being served food is also an important enabler that solidifies the unity the show aims to create.
Counting Sheep is hugely effective in its emotional manipulation, and also it’s storytelling through music, movement and projections. Choosing sheep as a metaphor is a curious choice, though. The benign but rather dumb livestock aren’t known for thinking for themselves and are susceptible to herding – otherwise, they wander around unproductively, getting lost and eaten by predators. Whilst the performers are the herders here, they are also in sheep masks, unempowered. Who then are the herders? The government? Unseen forces of political and social unrest? Whatever it is, us human beings are hugely susceptible to it when motivated enough, even if the metaphor isn’t totally clear.
Though sung completely in Ukrainian, there is a clear storyline conveyed through projections and movement. There is little nuance in this piece, but it a playground for the sweeping emotions of popular theatre. It provides at least a hint of the experience that the Ukrainian protesters endured, and powerfully unites the audience through the humanity of collective experience for a common goal. An excellent piece of theatre.
Counting Sheep runs through 29th August. | 2019-04-26T05:53:50 | https://theplaysthethinguk.com/2016/08/24/counting-sheep-edinburgh-festival-fringe/ |
Long Range Surface to Air Missile System (LRSAM) for Indian Navy successfully flight tested against Pilotless Target Aircraft (PTA) on 20th Sept 2016 at 10:10 hrs and again at 14:25 hrs from Interim Test Range (ITR) at Balasore, Odisha, yesterday. The LRSAM has been developed through a joint venture between DRDO India and IAI of Israel. The naval version of the SAM system, this time was tested from land and the earlier was flight tested from Naval Ships, at ITR. Both missiles directly hit their respective targets at different ranges and altitudes. The trajectory of the flight of missiles was throughout tracked and monitored by the radars and electro-optical systems installed at ITR.
Many industries viz. BDL, MIDHANI, TATA, GODREJ, SEC, PEL, ADITYA and others have contributed towards the development of Missile systems. Both Israel and Indian scientists and technicians have been involved in the launch campaign. The Israel team was led by Mr. Boyes Levy, Vice President, IAI of Israel, whereas the Indian Team by Mr Patrick D’Silva, Project Director, Mr. MSR Prasad, Director DRDL and Dr. BK Das, Director ITR. Dr. G Satheesh Reddy, DG (MSS) & SA to RM witnessed the launches. | 2019-04-21T21:13:13 | http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=150981 |
*some assembly required: Virtual... Reality!
We put lots of energy into modeling every detail of our projects so we don't run into surprises during construction. The final result on Sinclair Avenue in Rosedale looks pretty darned close to our pre-construction design model. We owe a lof of the credit to builder Warren Spain for turning our concept into a reality.
Check out Warren's Facebook photo album of photos taken during construction of this project for more of the story, including the amazing concrete and steel foundation designed by Jerry Garcia of Structures. | 2019-04-26T04:58:14 | http://www.somearchitect.com/2012/02/virtual-reality.html |

And God is the compass that points the way.
For its inside of me.
I ask myself today how can I inspire in these troubling times. I wonder if anyone has hope enough to listen or faith enough to see. What is faith but the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, at least that’s what it says in Hebrews 11:1. It was the faith of two blind men that opened their eyes to see. As they came before Jesus asking to be healed, he simple said to them, “Do you believe?’ “Yes Lord,” they replied. He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done onto you.” And their eyes were opened. Matthew 9:27-30.
I think of myself as having a lot of faith. I am where I am today because of the hope and faith I held onto. Yet even when we’ve experienced miracles we can become complacent in our faith. I ask myself, do you have the faith of a mustard seed? That always boggled my mind. That all it takes is a tiny bit of faith to make good things happen in our life. Maybe it was the innocence of a child’s faith that allowed me to believe in what my mature adult self gets in the way of now. Maybe that’s the way we need to look at things…through the hopeful eyes of a child’s faith. Maybe then we can begin to experience all the good that God wants for us. Maybe then what is done on earth…will be as it is in heaven. | 2019-04-23T22:53:33 | https://connieszone.com/2017/10/ |
It is ergonomic, light, and compact router with full-featured plunge and variable speed control that can be held easily. The rubber handle is provided on the smooth sliding plunge foundation with a sliding depth rod, a five-step turret for fine adjustments. For optimal visibility, the sub bases are incorporated with LED lighting. It is a perfect tool for edge profiling, cutting flutes, mortising, and even trimming laminate. The motor is designed in such a way that it offers a durable service with soft start feature and speed control through an electronic system.
DeWALT DWP611PK is basically a wood router that has 1-1/4 Hp variable speed with combo kit. The motor can deliver power with variable speed for tough and hard applications for optimal bit speed. The features of the motor are precise adjustment depth, motor pack removal, and base changes. It has a clear fixed base with LED light so as to offer superior but visibility.
If you are looking or searching for a router that meets your needs the best, then you need to figure the most important feature related to woodworking i.e. horsepower. Horsepower is related to the motor rating that implies its efficiency. The wood router must have peak HP so that it can perfectly do its job. Never ever get confused with the small size of the router, as it can provide torque and power as well thus making your wood project on the top.
Soft start feature is equipped with a compact router that aid in minimizing motor torque. The soft start makes use of AC electric motor that reduces the temporary load on electric current and power train during the motor surging.
The wood router is generally equipped with a special feature known as the variable speed that can range from 1-6 even 16000 rpm. The owner can easily adjust the speed of the motor by just turning or pushing the dial for better management of the tool. It can help the owner in determining which speed will be better for the wood project. Speed under load can be maintained through the aid of speed control as it will reduce twisting and thus prevents burning.
When the owner set the variable speed between 1-3, the variable speed ranging between 16000-20400 rpm can be achieved easily with a large cutter and bit diameter. In addition to this, when the owner set it between 4-6, he or she get speed in range 22600-27000 rpm for the small cutter and bit diameter. It can work well on laminates, softwoods, and plastics. You got an opportunity to make an adjustment in 20-100 rpm by bumping the speed. Thus this offers wide bit size range that handles the professional in doing the construction job perfectly. The wood crafter can easily execute the task in the shop.
You are offered with both fixed base and plunge with the combo kit of DeWalt DWP611. A locking lever is attached with a fixed base with micro-adjusting of 360 degrees with the appropriate raising of the router both down and up so as to accomplish perfect cut depth. is there any basic requirement of the router? Yes, it should smoothly hang when moved down or up. This then helps in the production of clean cuts when cutter lowering comes into existence of workpiece. It is because jerking can spoil the clean cuts so it is essential to keep in this mind.
The wood router has 5 position adjustments that allow taking a step down with every single turn so as to control the depth. It even includes an adjustable reference needle on the base of the plunge present on the right side. The rubber griping will offer easy control and it can comfortably enable the owner to make use of it easily. The fixed base can be accessed for edging and trimming thus allowing the plunge to turn the route into a capable router with working of 90% project.
Do you know what it collects are and which one is the best? The collects are basically steel sleeves that firmly hold or grasp router bit on to the router. It works along with a shaft that can directly join to the motor. This then tightens down in accordance with a collet nut. When you buy the wood router then consideration of bit shank size is necessary. In the market, the most common shank size is ½” and ¼”. The second most important thing you need to take in consideration is the type of project and its requirement of bit shank size. The wood route that has ¼” collet with good size can be used for heavy duty work.
The clear fixed base on the model improves stability thus increases the visibility during the edging the spring-loaded helps in releasing tabs with easy base removal and fast working.
You can easily get a compact router that can handle your project such as radius cuts, trimming, dadoes, and finish carpentry tasks such as a hinge, edge-profiling, and hardware installation. Features like relatively quiet, compact, lightweight, ergonomic grips, easy to bit change, sealed off/on the switch, and optional accessories that provide flexibility and extended performance. The motor is powerful enough to handle both hardwood and soft woodworking. | 2019-04-22T00:16:42 | http://brokeandchic.com/why-the-dewalt-dwp611pk-is-considered-one-of-the-best-wood-routers/ |
A clever set up for a magical story full of questions, secrets and a touch of danger. Serafina is a secret resident of the Biltmore Estates with her father, an engineer. Not knowing anything about herself, and only out at night to catch rats, Serafina sees a man in a black cloak and the mystery begins.
Children are disappearing, and with Serafina’s knowledge of the mysterious man, she decides she wil have to solve the mystery. But, she’s not doing it alone, Braeden is the nephew of the owners, and not only does he befriend her, but agrees to keep the secret of her existence.
There were so many wonderful points of this story: the secrets that Serafina uncovers about herself and her own destiny and abilities, the solid friendship between she and Braeden, and even the creepy moments wandering the estate. While I would have loved a bit more development of both Serafina and Braeden’s characters, a bit of background to explain why her father was so careful about revealing her own history, and even some more moments where Serafina actually questioned her life. But, the story despite a bit of a slow middle picked up neatly and raced to the end, leaving me to forget about what I wanted and just enjoying the ride. Perfect for readers 10 or older, there’s plenty to explore and like about this story. | 2019-04-26T06:11:49 | http://iam-indeed.com/serafina-black-cloak-robert-beatty/ |
The four languages being piloted were Urdu, Dari, Kirundi and English for Africa.
BBC Global News currently has a worldwide audience of 256 million people. BBC director general Tony Hall has set a target for the BBC to double that to 500 million. In most developing countries in the world, young people make up a growing proportion of the population. They also have a more global outlook on life, but the BBC produces very little for them. Global Newsbeat may be the answer.
PPM was commissioned to create this promo for the ‘Global Newsbeat’ pilot on BBC World Service radio.
Peter Price produced, scripted, shot, lit and edited the promo to a tight deadline. The graphics were also created for this project by PPM.
PPM was asked to produce a punchy promo to showcase the four journalists at the heart of these pilots.
We focused on how the presenters must adapt their journalism for younger listeners while maintaining the trusted reputation of the BBC’s language services.
The full version also included videos recorded by test audiences in Kenya and Pakistan (not included here for copyright reasons). | 2019-04-26T10:21:05 | http://ppmtelevision.com/projects/bbc-global-newsbeat/ |
A study published by The Ohio State University found that 58% of the millennials they surveyed said they don't have a car because they don't need one — meaning that more than half of their participants could go through their daily lives car-free.
This follows an ongoing trend of decreased car sales that noticed a 30% drop from 2007 to 2014. Many startups build their companies on sharing to save time and money: carsharing, co-living, and scooters, to name a few. Is this why fewer millennials are buying cars ?
Yes, our society is becoming more conscious of the environmental repercussions that stem from gas and diesel-fueled vehicles, a contributing factor to the downward turn in sales. More and more companies have added electric vehicles to their lineups, but even so — millennials just aren't buying cars the way previous generations did.
Young professionals are moving to cities at high rates, leading to easier access to public transportation, and removing the need for a car. Multiple tech startups have hopped on this trend, listening to public demands for diversity in our commutes. And what's the easiest way to reach the public masses? Increased accessibility via a hub for sharing.
Let's look at Uber and Lyft, two rivals that have flourished because they operate a public service based on sharing rides — or at least a vehicle. There's no worrying about parking, payment is easy and sharable with multiple riders, and shared rides are available for a cheaper commute.
Every scooter and bikeshare company runs its business on public dependance. No one owns a Bird scooter, Lime bike, or a Citi Bike; we all work within a community network sharing every piece of equipment. The goal is to provide a more cost-effective ride for shorter distances that aren't worth it if you're driving, but would be tiring if you decided to walk.
Could this be because millennials don't want to own things anymore? Netflix removes the need to own movies or TV shows, Spotify lets you listen to music without paying for each individual song, and Airbnb gives you more affordable vacation prices in someone's home — you can even share furniture! This sharing mentality embodies millennials quest to enjoy more experiences than materials. Why should that be any different when it comes to how we get around? Sharing mobility options becomes an experience in transportation, not a hassle. | 2019-04-21T01:14:39 | https://blog.transitscreen.com/could-start-ups-be-the-reason-why-fewer-millennials-are-buying-cars |

DungeonUp is a dungeon crawler features procedurally generated levels and map-based mini puzzles (key and door problem-solving and so on).
Heavily inspired by Tower of Sorcerer, DungeonUp aims to take the classic gameplay further to infinite fun.
Thanks for your time! Hope you like the game!
* Fixed the bug that the monster tooltip blocked clicking of the monster on the map.
* Fixed bug: the game may freeze after clicking "Resurrect" in Game Over menu.
* Map loads much faster.
* Brand-new website and main screen in game!
vote for the features you want!
I guess in terms of recommendations, perhaps have some warning when you are low life? I know you can consult the monster manual, but I seemed to be on high health and then I fought this glowy guy and died abruptly in 2 hits.
Got stuck in the Vampire King's room. Can't hurt him, can't use any items to escape.
Sorry to hear that... I think you have to restart the game. In the next version I'm planning to allow player to attack the monsters that have higher defence. You can still escape from lethal combats by hitting ESC/"Flee" button if you want.
I like the feeling of the game, it's smooth.
The only problem - the book should have a close button or something more suggestible on how to close it.
Pretty fun, being able to warp between floors later on was a life-saver.
I found trying to revive myself using a soul stone would cause the game to freeze on the screen transition.
I played it and got up to level -27, where I was able to land myself the blue sword. Unfortunately, I ran out of keys. I did several playthroughs, and I think there are too many doors, or not enough keys. The vendors had a role to play there, but they were generally locked behind a yellow door, so if I needed yellow keys, they were useless.
My suggestion would be to put all vendors on the level that has the stone, or remove keys altogether and just add a separate stone for keys that also scales in price. If you don't like that, perhaps you would consider only placing vendors next to the entrance of a level.
I was actually hoping that this game would have static levels, as opposed to procedurally generated. During my first playthrough, I saw where I went wrong and came up with some ideas on how to improve it, only to find out that the levels were different. Desktop Dungeons (paid version) had procedural levels, but they also had a challenge section that was not procedural with really well-designed levels. I found that to be more fun than the rest of the game, and thinking about that across multiple levels sounds amazing. Designing and balancing that would certainly be a challenge.
All in all, I had a lot of fun. Losing came with too much overhead, so it had limited replayability for me, but I enjoyed my 45 minutes or so of gameplay.
I just tried your game out and I find it oddly addicting and pretty darn fun, however I too fell victim to the vampire boss issue and I felt kind'a cheated. Every other enemy in the game (Boss skeleton included) had shown what was needed before hand, yet I had to walk into a room that would trap me inside without knowing and throwing myself to randomness rather than the calculating mindset the rest has shown off with deciding a path and what is safe to take down without putting me too low and the likes and being forced to restart, which made no sense as I barely had less than his shield, but I had the cross which does double damage so I should've been able to take him on.
I've also come across this a few times at the skeleton boss.
This seems to occur if you switch to another tab on the browser while the fight sets up, it's impossible to go further because of the door and the boss just disappears.
Thanks Netforza! I will add a close button to the panel in the next version.
I have fixed the revive-freeze bug in v0.7.2. Go check it out!
Thanks for your 45 minutes and great feedback!
Keys balancing is really difficult, sometimes the random generator gives you 60+ keys in a zone(every 10 levels), sometimes there are only 30. Keys vendors are designed to try to balance this, and you should all benefit from them at the beginning.(A yellow key worths ~100G, while there's a merchant selling 5 keys for only 50G). In the upper levels, their deals get less worthy but sometimes player may still want to have the choice.
I'm also planning to add custom maps with full static levels. There might be a in-game Map Editor too! Anyway, I have to finish the levels and storyline for Story Mode first.
Oops...never tried to switch browser tab, but this is definitely a critical bug need to fix.
I have disabled the "Attack Protection" functionality, that means, you can rush into combat with any monsters now. In case of misoperation, you can use the "Flee" button.
Spam clicking a tile makes the player spaz out in place. Not sure if intentional but looks funny.
I took a quick tour of the tutorial and I think the experience already feels really polished.
I really like the sound effects in the game, I think they add a nice feel, and I like the puzzle element as well, good ideas all around in my opinion, the idea that you can keep increasing health feels good and I am curious to see how it plays out over a longer session.
Great game so far! I really like the puzzle aspect of it. But now I'm also stuck at the vampire boss. I get the message "I can't even harm him" even though I have 1800 HP and 62 attack which should count double because of the cross. So it should be a hard but managable kill, if I just could attack. I also can't leave the room because of locked doors. So... yeah, game over I guess?
I decided to skip the tutorial and start the game instantly on normal mode. Roguelike with story, heh? I got my first impression on positive side! Although haven't really got into fighting system at first glance - it seemed to me a bit absurd... but going further made me reconsider it and enjoy the game. This is sort of mini RPG tactical puzzle game where you use calculations as your main weapon. The puzzle itself lies on maneuvering with keys mostly. Since keys are essential part of this game they are very disturbing - sometimes levels are generated in not very convenient way so that you will end up without having that damn yellow key no matter how you cut your way out. I replayed several times and couldn't enter vampire room without red key which was held in other room under yellow door.
Looks like casual difficulty makes the day! Having free key solves everything. However, this free key requires 60 sec to wait, which is actually a bit odd assuming we are having here non-action game. If it would be action game like Serious Sam or good old Crimsonland then 60 seconds would be awesome option since player knows it's not safe to idle for one minute. Perhaps, trading some health or money for that very key could be solution. You might as well put it as another option for that dwarf machine;trade for money or health if there is no money cuz there might be moment that there is like 2000 health but not even a penny in a pocket.
Sometimes music plays, sometimes game forgets about such feature.
About that dwarf machine. I think health boost option is the unbalanced here. It gives so little for such high stacking price and not worth buying.
All other odds and ends are completely awesome: sound, graphics, gameplay etc. Level generation makes it quite re-playable. Indeed a very great game. It could be a boom for mobile platforms i guess. I'm looking forward for fixes, changes and new features - it would be very enjoyable to replay it once more!
I ended game on dwarf boss room, disability to do something (place a bomb) was fatal . Fallen dwarves and lizards traded ~460 hp per fight. It happened that during 29-20 levels there was no red key but only traded who wanted 2000g for it, f**k... There is "save & exit" in menu - it would be better to add another button but either "load" or "exit" without save.

You can trade a Soul Stone for the free key if you can't wait for 60 seconds. The one-minute-cooldown is to make sure that even you are playing in Casual difficulty, keys management is still important, but not fatal.
I think you are right. Very few players chose to boost HP. How about double the number?
...it would be better to add another button but either "load" or "exit" without save.
Have you tried to resurrect, or use Soul Stone to re-generate levels? I know it's different from save-and-load, but hey, I give you options besides permadeath anyway!
P.S.: that trader is indeed a jerk you can just ignore him if you have some good items in hand.
Yep, died and restarted the game and once used that stone. It actually doesn't really help that much.
Stones are to be something ultra mega intergalactic divine artifact at first glance, especially after you see possibility to buy some artifacts in dwarf machine room. To trade one stone for yellow key is like sell your Dodge for a hot dog ... well just like with bloody trader and his key for 2000 gold coins.
The problem with trader is that there was no skipping item or red key for last 30 rooms - the only way to obtain the key is to buy it! I understood if there was room with 10 lizards guarding red key and you have 2000 gold and you say "baah, f..k em, i;ll buy a key and pass this quickly"; if you decide to buy it instead of loosing fights with lizards then it's ok. In this case this is alternative! But now, in the game, it's pure deadlock with no alternatives.
How about double the number?
I guess triple it! Minimum. If you buy 8 armor then most likely you will save 1000 health in further fights (calculations!). If you buy 200 health instead of armor then that would be a hoot.
Lack of keys make trap situations. If player goes up and up bypassing bonuses only focusing on opening doors that lead to stairs still able to put player into "no key" situation. But if somehow you manage to get more further you will most likely encounter situation where you don't have enough money/health/damage/armor to pass that monster because you skipped rooms with monsters (that give money) and artifacts just to keep those keys.
Lack key situation usually appears after first boss.
Despite what i say it's up to you how to make the game. I'm just saying what player experiences from his position with psychological perspective.

It may be that you live in an apartment, with montly service fees. Yearly the actual costs will be calculated and the balance will be mad. The advance paymennt can be adjusted and you could get a refund or need to pay extra.
We strive to within six months after closure of the season to establish accounts for servicecosts.
For this we sometimes, depend on third party data. It may be that this data is later than it should be delivered to us, which sometimes accounts can be established only in September. | 2019-04-21T04:35:05 | https://www.bjornd.nl/en/rentingsdesk/servicecosts |
Your technology setup and Cisco Meeting test should be completed before the first week of the semester. (Before orientation week) Please follow these instructions to complete the setup. UEN will not test equipment or software the first week of the semester.
After enrolling in a College of Nursing Distance Education (PhD or DNP) Program verify you meet the hardware and software requirements outlined in the Distance Education Hardware and Software Requirements document.
You will receive an email from the Utah Education Network (UEN) with instructions on downloading and installing Cisco Meeting. Follow those instructions to install the software.
If you fail the Cisco Meeting test with UEN they will refer you to College of Nursing IT for advanced troubleshooting.
After completing a successful test of Cisco Meeting you are now ready for Distance Education classes with the College of Nursing.
Due primarily to high bandwidth requirements, videoconferencing connections work best through a physical Internet connection (Ethernet Cable). Wireless connections are less stable; perform slower, and are not allowed.
It is your responsibility to maintain your at home computer equipment. It is also your responsibility to contact technical support for Cisco Meeting connection issues. If you have major technical problems you may be required to hire your own technical support to troubleshoot at home computer equipment and connections.
For more Troubleshooting tips refer to Distance Ed Troubleshooting document.

The summer Wrigley Field concert tradition continues -- while the Cubs are on the road, the Friendly Confines rocks as an ivy-covered music venue...and this year Clark & Addison will be rocking harder than ever when Pearl Jam returns to the field!
Eddie Vedder and the crew brought Ernie Banks on stage and rocked Wrigley Field through the rain until 2am in 2013 and now they're back in a year when it looks like the Cubs will truly go all the way!
The show is sold out, but you can get the shirt and get ready for the party now. Inspired by a combination of Wrigley Field's "Be Alert For Foul Balls" sign and the fan favorite unofficial "Stickman" character this original design captures the essence of the park and the band. You can still get a tee honoring the epic 2013 show -- specify your year during checkout below.
It's no official concert shirt (which are often twice the price, half the quality, with none of the creativity), it's not PJ merch (visit them for that), it's just an original design aimed at memorializing the event itself (the fans, the neighborhood and the hardball heritage). Whether you attend or not, you can celebrate the historic show by a great band in your favorite venue on this 100% heavyweight cotton shirt in several colors and sizes small through 3XL.If year not specified, 2018 will be used. PLEASE NOTE: This tee is not available on alternate style shirts. | 2019-04-25T22:21:45 | http://www.nationalfanthem.com/ShirtPages/Pearl_Jam_Wrigley_Field_Concert_T_Shirt.html |
In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), localization is one of the most important topics because the location information is typically useful for many applications like target tracking, military applications and environmental monitoring. Anchor nodes are the nodes that know their current location. Neighboring nodes or non-anchor nodes calculate their location (or location reference) with the help of anchor nodes. The location information of anchor nodes may contain outliers that deviate from their true values. The existence of the outliers might make the estimated positions not accurate. Thus, it is important to detect and handle outliers in order to achieve high localization accuracy. Nowadays, it's a challenging task to identify the cheating anchor node or cheating node in a network. Even after finding out the location of the cheating anchor node, there is no assurance, that the identified node is legitimate or not. The aim of this research is to propose an algorithm to detect malicious beacon nodes based on trilateration algorithm to provide secure localization in wireless senor networks. We were able to attain a considerable reduction in the error achieved during localization. Extended simulation experiments indicate that the localization algorithm has relatively high precision and the location verification algorithm has relatively high accuracy. The communication overhead of these algorithms is relative low, and the whole set of reliable localization methods is practical as well as comprehensive.
Keywords: Localization, Security, Trilateration, Anchor nodes, Wireless Sensor Networks. | 2019-04-20T10:44:44 | http://ijppas.com/abstract.php?archiveid=492&action=fulltext&uri=/archives.php?volume=5&issue=1&page=4 |
It's always fun to hear Karen Walker's free associations on the season. Spring's blithely hopscotched from the Yearning for Zion Ranch (the Texas polygamist compound that was in the news this spring) to voodoo to baptismal dresses to the trippy seventies cult film Holy Mountain—all of this tied together by a rhapsody of blue.
From the old-time prairie look of Warren Jeffs' disciples she borrowed a certain high-collared austerity: buttoned-up shirting in classic oxford cloth, sheer pastel poplins, a quirky chicken print, and a lovely China-print silk voile. There were cuffed and cropped trousers and even a terrific pair of groovy wide-leg jeans. She worked the talismanic motifs of ram's heads and spiders into wearable printed-silk dresses and several highly covetable superfine T-shirts. Despite the general boyishness—one highlight being an adorable, boxy royal-blue shorts suit—she also provided a touch of glam, via chic L.N.D.s (little navy dresses; act like you know) and a peachy leopard print that was a perfect wild take on her cult-y cocktail frocks. | 2019-04-23T10:52:39 | https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2009-ready-to-wear/karen-walker |
Henri’s first EVER book cover!
I think I just fell in love… with my book cover!
So I was surprised when I saw the first visuals from Choc Lit, because it was nothing like I’d imagined. It made me realise that, although I’d dreamt about covers a lot, it was all very vague, just something to do with the Norfolk coast where the novel is set.
But the cover made me go “Wow!”, and I take my hat off to the talented cover artist who was able to put this author’s nebulous thoughts into a visual format. It can’t have been an easy task.
I love the colours, the contrast between the dark foreground and the grey-blue winter sky, the rickety groyne leading into the unknown and creating a sense of distance in the image. And I love the lone sea gull perched on a post, haughtily surveying its kingdom: the untamed nature in this corner of the country.
The brooding atmosphere with the curling mist speaks of secrets yet to be revealed and hints at hidden dangers. And for both Lia and Aidan there are plenty of secrets and dangers to do battle with.
The best thing, of course, is that it has my name on it. Nothing can quite describe how I felt when I saw my name in print, and the knowledge that my first novel containing my words and my imagination will soon be on display for all to see and read if they want to (a scary thought, actually…).
So, in December I’ll be up close with Up Close (sorry, couldn’t resist!) when I finally get to hold the physical book in my hands. Can’t wait!
This entry was posted in General and tagged Cover Design, Henriette Gyland, Up Close by HenriG. Bookmark the permalink.
Wow, that’s fabulous, Henri, so evocative and very enticing. I’m really looking forwards to reading it.
That is soooo atmospheric – many congrats, Henri!
Absolutely stunning! Can’t wait to read it!!!
It’s lovely, Henri – am really looking forward to reading it!
Love it, Henri. Especially the seagull, as they like to sit on posts, so it is atmospheric and realistic, all at the same time. And it has your NAME on it!!!
Oh wow, that’s gorgeous. Congratulations Henri!
Oh, wow, Henri!! I absolutely LOVE your cover. It’s dramatic, atmospheric, intriguing – it does everything a cover should do. No wonder you’re so thrilled with it. I can’t wait to read the book.
Gorgeous cover, Henri! And it’s set in Norfolk – that’s three reasons to buy it, now 🙂 (i.e. it’s your book, love the cover, and the setting as you know is, ahem, close to my heart). Can’t wait for December!
Lovely, lovely cover, Henri…….and holding the real deal in your hand will be a wonderful moment, trust me! Congratulations…..go celebrate a little….or maybe a lot!
Yes, wow. Choc lit covers are great and really invite us to read the books. This one is a double wow. I won’t be reading it on kindle. I have to have it.
So, so beautiful…that cover is an inspiration in itself!
Ooh it’s gorgeous! So atmospheric. Can’t wait to see it in real life!
It’s beautiful, Henri – you should be in love! 🙂 Many congrats.
Henri – that’s just lovely.
It instantly captures the imagination and it certainly makes me even MORE eager to get my hands on the book.
Aww, thank you for all your lovely messages! It is a dream come true, and the cover is so much better than anything I could ever imagine. Now I’m trying to picture what it might look like in the shops…. That bit is still a little unreal!
Gosh, yes, Sharon, so it is. What a coincidence!
I can see why you’re so excited, Henri – it’s a gorgeous cover. Is it a photo?
Lovely and very striking. So exciting for you!
It’s beautiful, Henri. Very evocative, mysterious and intrigung.
Wonderful cover Henri. You must be made up. Can’t wait to read it. Is this set in Norfolk .
Jan and Lizzie – Thanks for your support! And, yes, Lizzie, it is set in Norfolk, on the coast.
Wow! That is so atmospheric and beautiful. I can’t wait!
What a great cover! Lovely.
Thank you, Janice, and also for all your help with certain tecnical aspects of the novel. You’re in the credits! | 2019-04-22T10:18:29 | https://blog.choc-lit.com/?p=2729 |

Has Demonetization reduced value of Fixed Deposits ?
Ever since the demonetization of old Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes have taken place, people are coming in large numbers to deposit the defunct currency at banks across India, resulting in deposits of over Rs. 2 lakh crore mark. This has prompted some of the banks to cut fixed deposit rates. Major banks such as SBI, ICICI and HDFC Bank have lowered the fixed deposit rates by up to 0.25 percent. While United Bank of India has also cut the fixed deposit rates by 0.25%-1%. This may not be a great news for those parking their funds in the banks. The question that lingers is – Has demonetization reduced value of fixed deposits.?
Recently, State Bank of India reduced rates on deposits from one year to 455 days to 6.90%, down 15 basis points, while maintaining the 7% rate for deposits between 211 days to one year unaltered.
HDFC Bank has lowered the interest rate by 0.25 per cent across all tenures on bulk deposits that range between Rs 1 and 5 crores.
ICICI Bank reduced the interest rate to 7.10 percent as compared to 7.25 percent earlier on fixed deposits of maturity period ranging 390 days and 2 years.
From the table, you can see the difference in the earning value both pre- and post-demonetization.
For now, it may appear that demonetization reduced value of fixed deposits, but in the longer run, this will balance itself.
Now it's completely up to you to decide the course of action with respect to your fixed deposit portfolio. | 2019-04-23T14:04:56 | https://www.wishfin.com/fixed-deposits/demonetization-reduced-value-of-fixed-deposits/ |
The number of people in the UK getting a sleep study conducted by the NHS has doubled from 10 years ago, accordingly to a recent BBC News story.
69,919 studies were conducted in 2007/8, whereas last year saw this increase to 147,610.
This is the total for all sleep studies, and there are a number of different tests for various conditions. However, Sleep Apnoea is the most common sleep disorder in the UK. It is therefore safe the assume that a significant portion of these will be for OSA.
How many people need a sleep study?
The increased numbers give food for thought. OSA is believed to affect 5% of the population - around 3.25 million. The majority of these are undiagnosed. Even with the increased number of tests it would take 20 years for that many people to have a study done.
It perhaps explains why more people are opting for an in-home sleep study to have OSA confirmed. The increased strain on services will inevitably lead to longer waiting lists; or have them restricted to more serious cases.
Have you had Sleep Apnoea diagnosed on the NHS over the last 12-18 months? If so, please leave a comment on this blog to share your experience with others. | 2019-04-23T04:01:31 | https://www.cpap.co.uk/2017/07/number-nhs-sleep-studies-double-decade |

Biological Control Activities of Rice-Associated Bacillus sp. Strains against Sheath Blight and Bacterial Panicle Blight of Rice.
The five selected RABs showing highest antimicrobial activities (RAB6, RAB9, RAB16, RAB17S, and RAB18) were closest to B. amyloliquefaciens in DNA sequence of 16S rDNA and gyrB, but to B. subtilis in that of recA.
Novel ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced null alleles of the Drosophila homolog of LRRK2 reveal a crucial role in endolysosomal functions and autophagy in vivo.
Interestingly, the lysosomal abnormalities in these lrrk mutants can be suppressed by a constitutively active form of the small GTPase rab9, which promotes retromer-dependent recycling from late endosomes to the Golgi.
A fat body-derived apical extracellular matrix enzyme is transported to the tracheal lumen and is required for tube morphogenesis in Drosophila.
This process was defective in rab9 and shrub/vps32 mutants and in wild-type embryos treated with a secretory pathway inhibitor, leading to an abundant accumulation of Serp in the fat body.
The Amyloid Precursor Protein is rapidly transported from the Golgi apparatus to the lysosome and where it is processed into beta-amyloid.
By photoactivating APP-paGFP in the Golgi, using the Golgi marker Galactosyltranferase fused to Cyan Fluorescent Protein (GalT-CFP) as a target, we are able to follow a population of nascent APP molecules from the Golgi to downstream compartments identified with compartment markers tagged with red fluorescent protein (mRFP or mCherry); including rab5 (early endosomes) rab9 (late endosomes) and LAMP1 (lysosomes).
The small GTPases Rab9A and Rab23 function at distinct steps in autophagy during Group A Streptococcus infection.
Rab9A and Rab23 GTPases play crucial roles in autophagy of Group A Streptococcus.
RUTBC2 protein, a Rab9A effector and GTPase-activating protein for Rab36.
These data show that RUTBC2 can act as a Rab36 GAP in cells and suggest that RUTBC2 links Rab9A function to Rab36 function in the endosomal system.
Protein kinase A inhibition modulates the intracellular routing of gene delivery vehicles in HeLa cells, leading to productive transfection.
Rather, we identify a novel compartment, tentatively characterized as a transferrin(-)/rab9(-)/LAMP1(-) compartment, to which cargo within the clathrin-mediated pathway of endocytosis is rerouted upon inhibition of PKA, and which may act as an alternative and effective site of cargo release in gene delivery.
RUTBC1 is a Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16 domain-containing protein that binds to Rab9A-GTP both in vitro and in cultured cells, but is not a GTPase-activating protein for Rab9A.
Involvement of Rab9 and Rab11 in the intracellular trafficking of TRPC6.
Results describe the involvement of two Rab GTPases, Rab9 and Rab11, in the trafficking of TRPC6.
Assembly of the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex-3 (BLOC-3) and its interaction with Rab9.
Data show that recombinant HPS1-HPS4 produced in insect cells can be efficiently isolated as a 1:1 heterodimer, and might function as a Rab9 effector in the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles.
Lipid metabolism in cystic fibrosis.
Accumulation of free cholesterol in distinct perinuclear compartments, reversible by overexpression of rab9, suggests that cystic fibrosis and the lysosomal storage disease Niemann-Pick-C could share similar cell signaling defects, in addition to increased cAMP signaling and sterol-regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) expression that affect cholesterol metabolism.
Limited role for SREBP-1c in defective glucose-induced insulin secretion from Zucker diabetic fatty rat islets: a functional and gene profiling analysis.
Rab3), stimulated (voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel subunit alpha1D, CPT2, SUR2, rab9, syt13), or inhibited (syntaxin 7, secretogranin-2) by SREBP-1c inhibition.
Endocytic trafficking of glycosphingolipids in sphingolipid storage diseases.
Golgi targeting of GSLs internalized via caveolae is dependent on microtubules and phosphoinositide 3-kinase(s) and is inhibited by expression of dominant-negative rab7 and rab9 constructs.
Intracellular membrane trafficking pathways in bone-resorbing osteoclasts revealed by cloning and subcellular localization studies of small GTP-binding rab proteins.
Rab1B, rab4B, rab5C, rab7, rab9, rab11B, and rab35 were identified from rat osteoclasts in this study.
The predicted protein product of the gene consists of 201 amino acid residues, and the protein has 86% similarity to human RAB9 at the amino acid level.
The small GTP binding protein rab7 is essential for cellular vacuolation induced by Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin.
Dominant-negative mutants of rab7 effectively prevented vacuolization, whereas homologous rab5 and rab9 mutants were only partially inhibitory or ineffective, respectively.
METHODS: Cell line from rabbit dermal fibroblasts (RAB9) and primary cultures of rabbit corneal stroma fibroblasts (NRCF) were grown to confluence.
Biochemical analysis of rab9, a ras-like GTPase involved in protein transport from late endosomes to the trans Golgi network.
rab9 is a ras-like GTPase which has been implicated in the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors between late endosomes and the trans Golgi network.
Rab GDI: a solubilizing and recycling factor for rab9 protein.
We show here that the cytosolic form of rab9, a protein required for transport between late endosomes and the trans Golgi network, also occurs as a complex with a GDI-like protein, with an apparent mass of approximately 80 kD.
Rab9 functions in transport between late endosomes and the trans Golgi network.
We report here the primary sequence, subcellular localization and functional activity of a new member of the rab protein family, rab9. | 2019-04-23T06:31:28 | https://www.gopubmed.org/rab9.html |
For the past two to three months in my spare time, which I barely have these days, I created a new project called Polyglot Link.
A polyglot is someone who speaks a lot of languages. The consensus on the exact amount is not known. I would say 4 and up, but this of course differs. Polyglot Link however is a place to provide a platform for language learning & polyglot blogs. It’s basically a directory for the learner to discover the language learning blogging community.
I created this website, because I wanted to discover blogs myself. I’m quite familiar with the Chinese language learning blogs, but I’m looking to learn a new language in the near future. It is a battle between Spanish, French and Japanese.
Instead of starting at one blog and following the blogroll grapevine, or asking a community, who might not even be in the know of all the blogs, I decided to create a directory of sorts. Here language learning bloggers can submit their own blogs.
It is a reciprocal relationship between the blogger who would like to share their blogs to more readers and the learner who would want to explore the community and find extremely valuable language learning content in the language they are interested in.
About a month and a half ago I asked communities to start submitting their blogs for the launch. There are now over 30 blogs. Chinese being the most populated. We also have some cool languages like Navajo and Hawaiian. They are sparsely populated though.
I coded the site using Node.js, MongoDB with Masonry, Jade & Bootstrap. The blog is my own custom wordpress theme adapted from the site design. The site is hosted on Heroku and all images are on Amazon’s S3, while the blog is hosted on my own shared server.
Node.js might be overkill for a static site like this, but hey, this the first site I’ve coded from scratch with its own database. I was comfortable with it. Perhaps I’ll add a map in the future.
If you would to stay updated like on Facebook, Follow on Twitter or subscribe to the blog. | 2019-04-19T19:12:10 | http://nieldlr.com/2012/08/introducing-polyglot-link.html |
The Woffords were SO fun to work with! They had a very specific vision for their photos-- they wanted soft and romantic, with an urban cityscape backdrop. It was challenging in the best kind of way! They were also a little anxious about being in front of the camera, so before the shoot I wondered if it would be a challenge to help them look natural and comfortable. NOT AT ALL! They were like models! So easy to work with and extremely coachable. I was just blown away at the chemistry between these two. Which I think is most notable because they have been married for four years! Just goes to show... marriage doesn't put "the fire" out. It helps it burn brighter! ;) Hope you find these to be mysterious, romantic and cinematic, like I do! Now... Who's bringing us our next photographic challenge? | 2019-04-22T02:06:04 | http://www.storystreet.media/blog/2015/11/17/the-woffords |

Giving a major respite to property buyers from the weaker section, the state government has reduced the stamp duty rates to Rs 1000 for beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). While the real estate market is still recovering from the hit, potential buyers have now a reason to cheer up since they can escape high price of stamp duty registration.
The stamp duty amount is decided as 5% of the ready reckoner rates.The final amount is calculated on the basis of the agreement value, or the ready reckoner rates decided by the state government, whichever is higher. This amount commonly starts from Rs 50, 000.
The benefit of the stamp duty registration will only be availed by the Economically Weaker Section and Lower Income Group.
Area for the allotment of residential premises for these two sections will have to be upto 30 Square Metre and 60 Square Metre for EWS and LIG.

I'm proud to announce the newest addition to our team and Microsoft Canada's first User Experience Advisor.... Qixing Zheng!!! I'll let her tell you more about herself below, but firstly I wanted to thank all those in the community that helped along this journey. I know without your insight, input and passion we wouldn't have found the right person. As well, I've learned so much from each and everyone out there! I really appreciate all the assistance. Qixing will be in Toronto next week as she is relocating from BC and I am really excited to get her connected to the UX community in Toronto as soon as we can. So with out further ado... please join me in welcoming Qixing!
Hello Canada's User Experience Community!
I'm so honored to be chosen as the User Experience Advisor. My full name is Qixing Zheng (pronounced as "Chi-shing Jeun"), and some people call me Xing ("Shing"). I'm a recent Masters graduate from the University of British Columbia, in which I specialised in Human-Computer Interaction. I was born in China and while growing up, I only experienced computers through complicated and unintuitive command line interfaces. It wasn't until I moved to North America that I first experienced a graphical user interface and I was impressed with how easily I could interact using visual metaphors, drag&drop, and mouse clicking exploration. Since then, my passion has been helping people improve their user experience with technology they rely on everyday.
I'm extremely excited about this opportunity to share with and learn from the design community about how user experience can impact the technology we deliver today. Through this blog, I'd like to discuss the next generation of rich user experience, the business value of great designs, and the exciting new tools that can speed up our design process and enhance designer-developer collaboration. I will share my own learning stories as I go on this UX advisor journey and would love to hear your feedback.
Finally, I want to give BIG thanks to John for believing in me and making this great opportunity possible and all the people who interviewed me or helped the interview process. | 2019-04-25T13:11:54 | https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/canux/2007/03/01/microsoft-canadas-first-user-experience-advisor-qixing-zheng/ |
This is the quickest, easiest system you'll find for defining an edge between your lawn and flower beds or garden.
Simply pound each interlocking piece into the ground with a rubber mallet; in most soils there's no need for cutting, trenching or tearing up sod. To turn a corner, just bend the sections to form the angle you need.
Choice of three heights: 4", 8" and 12"
Some gardeners dislike plastic mulches, but want something more permanent and more effective than bark mulch.
This edging is made of coco fibers bonded with natural latex rubber. Anchored at the edges with Earth Staples, sold separately, they can be mowed over — no trimmer needed.
Use this easy-to-install edging to create a tidy border on garden beds, tree rings and walkways. Keeps mulch and gravel contained.
No-dig edging installs on the soil surface using the included spikes. Easy to bend into curves. 50' of edging, 16 spikes and two connectors.
Weeding between garden rows is tiresome work, and most mulches barely last a season, especially if you walk on them.
Now you can solve the problem the efficient, lasting way that professional nurseries do!
These rings last three years or more!
Choice of four sizes: 24", 36", 48", and 60"
If you're not diligent about replenishing bark mulch, it can start to look messy and start letting weeds through after just one season.
These thick mulch mats are made of tightly woven coconut fibers and durable natural latex, so they stop weeds for several seasons. They reduce string-trimming chores too, because you can mow right over them.
This recycled rubber tree ring will never scatter, even when you run a mower over it. Unlike bark mulch, it doesn’t acidify the soil, and won’t need to be replaced each year.
The ring suppresses weeds while letting air and water reach tree roots. It also keeps mowers and trimmers away from trunks, preventing damage to bark. Slit allows easy placement around trunk.
Center hole can be cut with scissors to enlarge. | 2019-04-19T04:30:30 | http://nenature.com/GardenEdging.htm |
A superintendent stands at a podium and clicks to the opening slide of the district’s new strategic plan. It reads “(insert your city) Children First” or “(insert your city) Preparing 21st Century Citizens” or “(insert your city) Achieves.” The slides lay out carefully crafted, well researched and thought-out plans to tackle the serious challenges facing school systems.
About two years ago, Teaching Matters decided to couple professional development focusing on teacher leadership with a micro-credentialing plan that identifies, coaches, and rewards the kind of digestible chunks of knowledge and competence that are especially worthwhile. We made it our business to target the highest leverage skills in a prioritized and integrated way so that demonstrating these competencies is meaningful and substantial - and they can be recognized as the essentials that characterize a well-prepared teacher leader. | 2019-04-19T12:32:33 | http://teachingmatters.org/category/tags/competency-based-learning |

These were so easy to make and they turned out so adorable. I can't wait to use them at our next family dinner or the next time I have friends over. This was a simple DIY. I had to make a couple of pom poms before I figured out exactly what worked for me, but after that it was a breeze.
1. Make all of your pom poms. You will need 2-4 pom poms per napkin ring depending on the size of your pom poms. All of ours have 3 pom poms on them. You can use a pom pom maker to make your pom poms or use the tutorial at Positively Splendid. I did not have a pom pom maker so I used the tutorial only I wrapped the yarn around my fingers instead of the pieces of cardboard.
2. When making your pom poms leave one long piece of yarn. If you accidentally snip it off, it's ok. Just tie a long piece of yarn around the center of your pom pom.
3. Take a hairband, using the long piece of yarn tie 2-4 pom poms to the hairband. I twisted the long pieces together and tied them all on at one time. Tracy tied each pom pom individually. It really doesn't matter, just whichever is easier for you. Once tied on, you can cut off the long pieces of yarn.
4. Display your beautiful creations! If you like this napkins find out how we made them here.
Oeeh Loving this DIY :D so cute!!
Those are the cutest! Could be used for so many occasions. | 2019-04-25T06:11:25 | http://www.sunnydaystarrynight.com/2014/07/diy-pom-pom-napkin-rings.html |
