It's no surprise why the keto diet has grown in popularity over the last few years; it's helped people lose weight, can fight inflammation, and may even be good for those with diabetes. But with the diet's focus on eating high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carb meals, some people are concerned with how it will affect their blood pressure. After all, foods such as bacon, pastrami, and other deli meats that are allowed on the diet aren't recommended for people with high blood pressure.
Turns out the keto diet can actually be beneficial for those with high blood pressure. However, it's not because of the diet itself; weight loss, which results from the keto diet, will improve blood pressure.
"Being overweight or obese is one of the major triggers for an increase in blood pressure," cardiologist and weight-management specialist Luiza Petre, MD, told POPSUGAR. One study from 2011 found that up to 80 percent of hypertension cases in Poland are related to being overweight or obese. Dr. Petre added that overweight and obese people who lose weight have a 50 percent chance of reversing their blood pressure without medication.
And a keto diet can be an effective way to lose weight; a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that people who followed a low-carb ketogenic diet lost more weight compared to those who followed a low-fat diet.
"The bottom line is the ketogenic diet will improve blood pressure, but not as a direct effect. It's through its indirect weight-loss benefits," she said. "If the keto diet is done without a weight-loss goal, it might not impact blood pressure at all. Losing weight remains the number one intervention, followed by lowering salt and exercising to improve blood pressure." Dr. Petre added that the keto diet will lower blood pressure thanks to the weight loss, not because of the ketones in the blood as a result of being in ketosis.
However, the keto diet may not be the best one for weight loss for those with high blood pressure. Nieca Goldberg, MD, medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center For Women's Health at NYU Langone Medical Center, recommends the DASH diet instead. The DASH diet stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, which is a Mediterranean-style diet that's rich in vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and lean meat and low in salt. She also said to avoid processed foods for blood pressure, since they can be high in salt, and instead to eat antioxidant-rich produce.
If you are thinking about trying the keto diet, be sure to consult with a doctor or dietitian before making any drastic dietary changes. | 2019-04-24T21:03:05 | https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Keto-Diet-High-Blood-Pressure-44998899 |
MANCHESTER UNITED star Michael Carrick has revealed a heart scare has limited his game time this season.
The Old Trafford skipper has not featured for the Red Devils since September and has released a statement to explain his absence.
"I just want to clear up my situation as I've had quite a few people asking if I'm ok and why I haven't been fit over the last couple of months," said Carrick.
"After feeling strange during the 2nd half of the Burton game in September I underwent a series of tests.
"It turned out to be due to an irregular heart rhythm which has been fully investigated and I had a procedure called a Cardiac Ablation.
"I had to build up training steadily whilst being monitored closely but I feel fine now.
"I would like to reassure everyone that I'm healthy and back training hard with the team.
"I'm building up my fitness and aiming to be back in contention for selection soon.
"Thanks for your support, Michael."
United's Carabao Cup win over Burton is the only first-team game Carrick has featured in this season.
The veteran midfielder will miss Saturday's Premier League showdown with Brighton.
United are second in the table ahead of the Seagulls' visit to Manchester.
Jose Mourinho's men are already eight points adrift of leaders Manchester City though. | 2019-04-22T12:14:04 | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/884078/Man-Utd-News-Michael-Carrick-Manchester-United-Jose-Mourinho-Premier-League |

The Chicago Cubs, were faced with elimination in Game 4 of the NLCS on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and lived to see another day, as they defeated L.A. 3-2.
Jake Arrieta was tabbed with trying to keep the Cubs in the series and avoid a 4-game sweep, and even though he struggled with his control walking five batters, he only allowed one run on three hits and struck out nine batters.
The Dodgers Alex Wood didn’t fair as well, allowing three runs on three solo home runs, in 4.2 innings.
In the Bottom of the second, Willson Contreras homered to open up the scoring and two batters later, Javier Baez hit a solo shot to extend the lead to 2-0.
The Dodgers pulled within a run in the third on Cody Bellinger‘s first dinger of the series.
In the fifth, Baez launched his second home run of the game to put the Cubs up 3-1. Then in this homer happy game, Justin Turner pulled the Dodgers within a run in the top of the eighth, with his second home run of the series, a lead-off shot off closer Wade Davis.
After a walk to Yasiel Puig, Davis retired Andre Eithier and Curtis Granderson for the first two outs of the inning. He then walked Yasmani Grandal moving the tying run to second, but got Chase Utley swinging on a 95 MPH four seam fastball to end the threat.
In the ninth, Davis struck out Austin Barnes, walked Chris Taylor and then induced a ground ball double play off the bat of Bellinger, sending Chicago to a Game 4 victory and extending the series to at least another day.
Both teams will be at it again on Thursday night with the Dodgers looking to close out the series and the Cubs hoping to force a Game 6 in Los Angeles. | 2019-04-24T00:06:40 | http://legendsondeck.com/nlcs-cubs-avoid-sweep-out-homer-dodgers-in-3-2-win/ |

Montini Catholic will be honoring the legacy of former Head Varsity Basketball Coach Daryl Thomas when they host a special Broncos vs (St. Joseph) Chargers Memorial Game on Friday, December 14th.
It was with a heavy heart that Montini Catholic announced the passing of Thomas earlier this year on March 28th from a massive heart attack suffered at his home. The Lasallian high school celebrated his life and legacy on Friday, April 6, 2018 during a Mass with alumni, friends and Coach Thomas' family.
"Coach Daryl was a loving and caring husband, father and son, a dedicated and energetic teacher and coach and a positive, energetic and thoughtful man," said President Jim Segredo. "He was a great role model not only to Montini students and his players but he was a great role model to all of us. Although he was only with us at Montini Catholic for three years, he certainly made a positive impact on our school. His infectious laugh, his positive and caring attitude and his dedication and hard work as our Head Boys Basketball Coach will continue to live on and be remembered."
"Both schools will be remembering Coach Thomas during this special evening," announced Montini Athletic Director, Tom Lentine. Both will wear special shooting shirts and representatives from Montini and St. Joseph's will sing the National Anthem together." Lentine added that, "All of the money raised will go toward planting a tree in Daryl's honor on Montini's campus and in setting up a Daryl Thomas Scholarship Fund."
Upon being selected to coach at Montini Catholic, Thomas was the Manager of Player Development and Lead Basketball Instructor at the Chicago Bulls/White Sox Academy in Lisle, Illinois. He was also an Assistant Varsity and Head Sophomore Boys Basketball Coach for nine years at St. Joseph's High School in Westchester where he worked with his former high school coach, Hall of Famer, Gene Pingatore. In five of the nine years, Thomas also served as the Head Boys Sophomore Coach as well as the Assistant Boys Varsity Coach.
As a high school student athlete at St. Joseph's in Westchester, Thomas was named to several All State teams and was named as a McDonald's All American.
Highly recruited by several major college basketball programs, Thomas accepted a Division One basketball scholarship to Indiana University where he played for the legendary Bobby Knight. While at Indiana, Thomas, was selected to the All Big Ten First Team his junior and senior year. He was a starter and co-captain on the 1987 Indiana National Championship Team that defeated Syracuse University 74 to 73. Thomas graduated from Indiana University with degrees in Criminal Justice and Social Studies.
Thomas was selected in the 1987 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings. After a short NBA career with the Kings, Thomas played professional basketball oversees on various European Teams for 14 years.
Both schools will be selling special commemorative t-shirts ($10) leading up to the game. "Anyone wearing the shirt on the 14th will get in for free," said Lentine. | 2019-04-22T04:22:48 | https://kdda.montini.org/page.cfm?p=666&newsid=1006 |

Opening his Autumn Budget for 2018, Chancellor Philip Hammond stated that the ‘era of austerity is finally coming to an end, but that discipline will remain’. He said that this Budget will ‘pave the way for a brighter future’ and that ‘decisions of the last 8 years were not driven by ideology, but by necessity’. He believes that we have ‘reached a turning point, a defining moment on a long, hard journey, but the focus will be resolutely on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead’.
For our sector, the most significant point was mention of the roll out of off-payroll reforms into the private sector, which the Chancellor confirmed was his intention, but not until April 2020.

Shippers’ Law: Can cities, states control terminals?
Two legal battles on the West Coast involving proposed bulk marine terminals will test the limits of state and local government regulations over these projects.
To what degree can state and local governments regulate shipping terminals?
That question is at the heart of two legal battles on the West Coast that are centered on proposed bulk marine terminals in Oakland, Calif., and Longview, Wash., on the Columbia River.
U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria found a development agreement for the terminal that “froze in place the local regulations that existed at the time the agreement was signed. This means, generally speaking, that any regulations adopted by Oakland thereafter would not apply to the shipping terminal.
“But the agreement contains an important exception: A regulation that postdates the development agreement can be applied to the shipping terminal if the city determines that the failure to apply the new regulation would pose a ‘substantial danger’ to the health or safety of people in Oakland. The agreement specifies that any such determination by the city must be supported by ‘substantial evidence,’” the judge said.
When the Oakland City Council learned that coal was one of the commodities the terminal might handle, it passed an ordinance banning coal operations at bulk material facilities and applied the ordinance to the terminal, citing that it would pose a danger to the health and safety of nearby residents.
Chhabria said the City Council relied on information that is “riddled with inaccuracies, major evidentiary gaps, erroneous assumptions and faulty analyses.” As a result, he found applying the ordinance to the terminal was a breach of the development agreement.
Local politicians and activists vowed to continue efforts to block coal shipments.
Chhabria focused on the information the city relied upon when drawing up its ordinance, not other issues raised by the developer, such as its contention that the ordinance was a “textbook violation” of the Commerce Clause in the U.S. Constitution that gives Congress the power to “regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states” and is pre-empted by three federal statutes: the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act (ICCTA), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act and the 1984 Shipping Act.
A motion for dismissal of that suit was denied in late May and the full case is now scheduled to be heard in May 2019. A report in the Tacoma Daily News said the judge is encouraging some claims to be heard sooner. There is also ongoing litigation in state court, where Lighthouse is challenging permit denials.
Six states — Wyoming, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Utah — filed an amicus brief supporting Lighthouse Resources on May 8.
“Today it is coal, tomorrow it could be natural gas or non-organic produce. The interests of interior states in developing foreign trade are now subject to the barriers erected by the policy whims of states that control access to international markets through their ports,” the brief said.
Lighthouse said it initiated the lawsuit in federal court “not to challenge the outcome of a specific permitting process, but to stop the defendants’ violation of the Dormant Foreign and Domestic Commerce Clause provisions of the United States Constitution.” While there is no actual “Dormant Commerce Clause” in the Constitution, courts have found that restrictions on state power are inherent in the Commerce Clause.
We’ll keep an eye on these legal battles and their potential implications for other ports and terminals. | 2019-04-24T12:37:43 | https://www.americanshipper.com/news/?autonumber=71554&source=redirected-from-old-site-link |

On Valentine’s Day last Thursday, I challenged my students to write a love poem without using the word love. On Facebook I had read Charles Ghinga’s poem for his wife Debra. I used it as a mentor text.
Page of word groups from Writing Poetry From the Inside Out by Sandford Lyne.
I used a poetry resource by Sandford Lyne called Writing Poetry from the Inside Out. In this book, Sandy writes about “Poem Sketching” with word groups. The back is full of pages of word groups. I photocopied one of these pages to give to my students. Each student chose a word group to write from.
Magic happened. Was it writing about love without using the word? the model poem from Charles? the word groups from Sandy? or the magic that happens when writing in a safe community?
We cut out construction paper hearts and wrote our poems on them to give to someone special. I gave mine to Madison because I used a quote of hers. Chloe gave hers to me, probably because I loved it. And Madison gave hers to Chloe. Poetry gifts from the heart.
Love poem gift from Chloe glued into my notebook.

Many thanks go out this month. First I would like to thank Dave Robinson and Brian Benson for attending the VBA scheduling meeting to represent our Club. Thanks to all the kids and parents for coming out to the trout rodeo, fun was had by all and the meal afterward was great. Hunter Munson and Emma Benson both caught Golden Trout. Thanks to Aaron Benson for bringing cooking oil, fish and hush puppy batter, and Tommy Jenkins for cooking the fish to perfection. Thanks to Arthur and Michele Sommers for donating prizes and making buttons for the kids.
In other news, some work has been done at the indoor building-- Phil Morris laid tile on the kitchen counters, Dave and Aron Robinson make and hung wall cabinets. Sink is installed and water is on and running. Come check it out!
Things are pretty quiet at the moment, but there are a few things you should know. .
* There should be a membership application with your newsletter this month- dues are payable between now and the end of December, but the sooner the better, it will count towards the next full year even if you pay early. If for some reason you didn’t receive one, please let me know, or pick one up at the indoor range.
Be safe out there in the woods, everyone! Best of luck! | 2019-04-22T10:53:39 | http://macarchery.blogspot.com/2008/10/bullseye-bulletin-october-2008.html |

我想我應該不會再買了, 直到他們願意改回無添加的本土小麥粉, 我用行動抵制, 讓他們知道不是改成所謂的好吃. 好做 就有人買單的.
That intghis’s perfect for what I need. Thanks!

My Name is Tiffany Van Goey and I am 21 years old. In high school I found myself rushing to class to take naps before the bell would ring and even striking a deal with my English teacher to be allowed to nap in class as long as I finished my class work, or knew the answer if she decided to call on me. This inability to stay awake and alert followed me out of high school into cosmetology school where I was pulled out of class 3 months into the program to be questioned about what was wrong with me. I couldn't understand why I had no energy for anything!
After graduating and becoming a licensed cosmetologist in the state of Ohio, I decided instead of finding work in a salon that maybe I should do something different. I chalked it up to the fact that I just might not be a morning person - so I got a job working 3rd shift in a Hazardous Material sort center. When that didn't work either, I found myself becoming more depressed than usual, I decided to utilize my cosmetology license and give in to a career in a salon.
I was a distributor by the time the products launched in May of 2008, and I noticed a marked difference after just using the MRP and vitamins...I felt much more vibrant and lost the need to take naps in the middle of the day. There was actually a week I ran out of MRP early, and in waiting for my next autoship - I noticed when my body wasn't getting the nutrients it did from the MRP, I was considerably more tired and clouded.
These products have changed the way I think about health and I will continue to use them and recommend them to everyone I know! Thanks YOR Health!! | 2019-04-20T22:43:28 | https://www.yorhealth.com/testimonials/entry-Tiffany-Van-Goey-233.aspx |

Professor Ian Rees Jones speaking at the WISERD CRESC Radical Social Innovation Colloquium.
As part of the WISERD Civil Society programme, WISERD and CRESC jointly organised an international colloquium on 18th and 19th May at Cardiff University for academics, policy makers and civil society organisations involved in Social Innovation (SI) initiatives. As an international event the colloquium was organised in association with Ewald Engelen from the University of Amsterdam and Angelo Salento from the University of Salento together with Julie Froud and Karel Williams from CRESC and the Manchester Business School and Kevin Morgan from Cardiff University.
Within the UK policy community, SI is an umbrella term for solutions which address unmet needs. In mainland Europe, there is a much stronger connection to politics whether in the form of grassroots projects or the EU need for a social supplement to liberal market policies. In response to these policy debates, theorists have attempted to frame SI critically in terms of satisfaction of human needs, reconfigured social relations and empowerment or political mobilization. Ironically, SI is often used rhetorically and adopted as legitimating cover for state retrenchment and welfare cuts. Against this background of ambiguity, our aim was to promote a radical new agenda for social innovation by considering the scope for its application in the foundational sectors of the economy producing basic goods and services necessary to material security and by recognising that radical innovation needs political sponsorship and organisation because it will challenge and disturb mainstream problem framing and existing power relations. We brought together an eclectic mix of academics, practitioners and activists to share research and knowledge across a range of themes.
The colloquium was opened by talks from Julie Froud and Mick Moran (Manchester). Julie set out an agenda for radical SI drawing on Robert Unger’s ‘maximalist’ approach which, in opposition to austerity, aims to find new practices and institutions to deliver solidarity and community. Mick considered the dark side to the British constitutional settlement from the end of the first world war onwards to argue that we are in the ‘best of times and the worst of times’ facing irreversible damage but also opportunities to speed the ‘strange death of neo-liberal Britain’. This stimulating start to the day was followed by a themed session on Financialisation that looked at the decline of the innovative CEO, new metrics, the case of German infrastructure and the activities of central bankers. Following on from this Joselle Dagnes (Unito) and Davide Arcidiacono (Catholic University of Milan) presented a summary of a collaborative programme of research undertaken in Italy on the Foundation Economy covering areas from food supply, railways and water to the heritage industry which is part of a body of published work produced in collaboration with Angelo Salento and Filippo Barbera who also took part in the colloquium and is a visiting fellow with WISERD over this summer.
Following Lunch I chaired a thematic session on ‘Expertise, Capabilities and Rights’. This included talks by Pedro Marques on smart specialisation strategies and Veit Bader on associative democracy. John Buchanan visiting from University of Sydney Business School gave an inspirational talk on human capabilities and the session was closed by an illuminating practice based talk on human rights from Jamie Burton from Doughty Street Chambers/Just Fair. We then had our first plenary talk from Judith Clifton form University of Cantabria, who drew on her understanding of European frameworks to argue that we need a shift away from market innovation to social innovation and drawing on Hirschman’s work on exit, voice and loyalty to move away from consumers back to citizens.
The final session of the day was on the theme of Participation, State and Democracy. This contained sessions on the economics of popular sovereignty, sustainable food systems, collaborative innovation and civic enterprise. Throughout the day the audience engaged with all the talks leading to stimulating debates and discussion that carried on late into the night over dinner.
The second day began with the second international plenary by Frank Moulaert from the Catholic University of Leuven. Frank gave an overview of nearly 30 years of work in social innovation across a range of territorial spaces and substantive areas. He made a robust and convincing case for less rushing to judgement and more ‘slow science’ in this field. Following neatly on form this Kevin Morgan chaired a session on ‘Geographies of Innovation’ that contained talks on local economic development, decentralising democracy in England, collaborative work in urban England and an inspiring talk by Jane Wills on process pragmatism as a means of underpinning research. Following coffee, Filippo Barbera chaired a session on ‘Participation and resistance’ that focused on labour markets in the regions, resistance, and the state of the UK voluntary sector. This was followed by a joint presentation of the collaborative report entitled ‘Where Does the Money Go?’ on financialised chains and the crisis in UK residential care which was published in March this year. The presentation led to a lively discussion that carried us through lunch to the sixth session on ‘Accounting and valuing’ chaired by Karel Williams which covered accountability governance, re-municipalisation and the impact of the Cardiff Capital Region Metro. The final session of the day addressed ‘Housing and Innovation’ and covered examples form the USA on pension fund real estate investments, bottom-up housing first project for homeless Roma families, failures of the mortgage market and community reinvestment for affordable housing. This led to a fascinating discussion of alternative means of financing as practical solutions to the housing crisis.
The two days left me exhausted but also with a feeling that we had gone some way to addressing our original aims. We had been able to work together as a diverse group of people who identified opportunities for taking these ideas forward for further research and writing and for broadening the networks that this colloquium has begun to put in place. Already plans are being discussed for a follow up meeting in London next year and for looking at how this work can be applied to the Welsh context.
Very interesting read, would love to hear more about the Housing and Innovation session!

Findings from our Kids in the City research indicate that parental concerns over safety reduce children’s opportunities to move around their neighbourhoods. International research shows that certain environmental features (e.g. traffic, graffiti, verge width, eyes on the street/park/alleyways) influence perceptions of neighbourhood safety. These environmental features are difficult to capture using existing methods such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and observational streetscape audits: GIS data does not include most of the relevant environmental features and streetscape audits based on Google Streetview are limited to streets only, thereby excluding neighbourhood locations — such as parks — that may be important to children’s mobility.
SenseCam, a wearable digital camera that automatically takes a photo every few seconds, has the potential to fill this data gap. This research investigated the potential of SenseCam as a method for collecting comprehensive neighbourhood environment data during neighbourhood walking interviews — data not accessible through other methods of data collection such as global positioning systems (GPS), digital cameras and digital voice recorders. While data from GPS, photographs and interviews illustrate the varied concerns of children, they do not provide a comprehensive record of physical aspects of the neighbourhood environment.
A research assistant wore a SenseCam and retraced the neighbourhood walking interview routes in two neighbourhoods taken by 12 participants from the Kids in the City study. An image coding frame was developed drawing on existing street and park audit tools (i.e. NZSPACES, POST) as well those environmental features identified by children, their parents and the research literature as influencing experiences of neighbourhood safety. This coding frame was used to categorise the SenseCam images which were then linked to the interview transcripts using timestamps and GPS data.
Conclusions were that SenseCam images have the potential to complement existing methods of measuring the environment, such as GIS and in situ and virtual audits. Main strengths of the technology are: it can capture features for which no other dataset exists; it can capture characteristics of the exact environment that a SenseCam wearer is exposed to; and it has the potential to link data about the environment with that from other wearable sensors (e.g., GPS, accelerometers, skin conductivity sensors), although further research is needed to test the validity and reliability of this approach. A downside of Sensecam use in this trial was the time required to process, code and analyse images. | 2019-04-23T06:55:29 | https://kidsinthecity.ac.nz/?page_id=13 |
In celebration and acknowledgement of the people who fired this watershed movement in local history a half-century ago, KZYX, Mendocino County Public Broadcasting, is now airing “Promise of Paradise: Back to the Land Oral Histories of Mendocino County.” The locally produced weekly program showcases the first-hand stories of dozens of the Mendocino County residents who came to the area with that storied wave of dreamers and builders.
The half-hour show airs at 3:30 pm every Thursday, and is archived on the station’s Jukebox feature, found online via www.kxyz.org. Now coming up on its 30th anniversary, listener supported KZYX broadcasts music, news, and public affairs programming across the length and breadth of Mendocino County, and into Lake County. The station is the region’s primary NPR affiliate.
“Promise of Paradise” is the result of a labor of love by producers Kate Magruder, a well-known local historian, actor and director, and radio/print journalist Sarah Reith, a KZYX regular who also produced station’s recent series on homelessness, “A Place to Call Home.” Over the past several months, Magruder and Reith, along with KZYX program director Alice Woelfle, conducted interview sessions in locations around the county, including the Elk Community Center and the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah. Together, they recorded the stories of approximately 75 back-to-the-landers.
Magruder says that as she thought about the idea, it began to resonate more strongly.
In the meantime, Reith was looking for a new endeavor to take on. She, too, thought of an oral history project. Through contacts in the arts community, Reith and Magruder, as they put it, “found each other.” Once they had the partnership with KZYX in place, the pair, along with Woelfle, began writing grants, eventually receiving support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, California Humanities, the Arts Council of Mendocino County, the Judy Pruden Historical Preservation Fund of the Community Foundation of Mendocino County, the Mendocino Institute and the Grace Hudson Museum. Local author/historian Cal Winslow has been an important advisor on the project.
Finally, it was time to stop planning the project and to start interviewing. A professional radio documentary maker advised them to create highly produced, themed segments with several people interviewed together. The pair discarded that idea, however, in favor of a more informal approach, interviewing people one at a time, and letting each session, each experience, stand on its own.
“Promise of Paradise,” now airing Thursdays at 3:30 pm on KZYX, offers a detailed look into a storied time in Mendocino County history through the first-hand perspectives of the people who lived through it.

Hannibal Lecter is a mythic character who grew beyond a novel and into a franchise, which this amazing season of TV cannibalises.
The world’s most recognisable superhero is also the most challenging to get right cinematically. Faced with criticisms for being too boring, for being invincible, for only having one weakness, the man of steel has to rise above that and be a beacon of hope that inspires us. | 2019-04-21T12:18:44 | https://cihannarin.com/2013/06/ |

Look at a map of the United States and look closely at the border between the states of Oklahoma and Texas. There you will see the Red River, and you will also see the 12th largest lake in the United States spanning that border in the area east of I-35 and west of I-75. That's Lake Texoma, aptly named after Texas and Oklahoma where it is located.
The Denison Dam created Lake Texoma as a reservoir to control flooding back in 1944, during World War II. The dam was a unique feat of engineering by the Army Corps of Engineers because it was, at the time, the largest rolled, earth-filled dam in the United States. That means it was not formed by pouring concrete, but by bulldozing dirt into an enormous, compacted embankment.
In addition to flood control, the Denison Dam was also designed to generate electricity. The first hydroelectric turbine began producing electricity 1945 and continues to operate regularly, depending on the lake level and energy consumption.
Lake Texoma also provides water for several north Texas communities connected to the North Texas Municipal Water District's pipelines. They have been in service since the 1980s, and now extend as far south as Wylie, Allen and Frisco in Texas.
Besides providing flood control, hydroelectric energy and municipal water supplies, Lake Texoma is a well-known recreation spot. Over six million visitors from all over the world come for fishing, boating, camping, hiking, hunting, 4-wheeling, bicycling, horseback riding, golfing and locating fossils of ancient sea creatures in its limestone cliffs every year. There is so much to do in and around Lake Texoma , it's a world-class recreational playground, conveniently located between Dallas and Oklahoma City.
Naturally-occurring mineral salts in the soil surrounding and under Lake Texoma provide just the right conditions for Striped Bass to spawn and grow naturally to 15-20 lbs at maturity, and that's why Lake Texoma is known as the Striper Capital of The World. Literally hundreds of Striper fishing guides offer all-inclusive services providing tackle, bait and cleaning, which makes for a great day on the lake any time of year. All you need to bring is your Lake Texoma fishing license (available at local convenience stores) so that you're legal in both Oklahoma and Texas waters.
But Stripers are not the only fish you are likely to pull out of Lake Texoma. At least 70 species inhabit the waters, including largemouth, spotted and white bass, black and white crappie and channel, blue, and flathead catfish. Big cats of 70 to 100 pounds can be found by those who know where to look for them. Once again, there are plenty of commercial fishing guides to show you the way. Weather conditions contribute to your success fishing Lake Texoma, but most guides offer a guaranteed catch to keep their customers happy and coming back each year.
"If you have a locator, find the fish using it. If not, watch for fish surfacing on top (on a calm day you will be able to see their splashes quite a way off). If the sea gulls are in, watch for them feeding on the shad the fish are chasing, and fish below the gulls. If you are in shallow (15'-20') water, try casting you slab out into, or beyond the fish. Then work the bottom by reeling in and dropping back to the bottom as you retrieve your line. The bigger fish are below the fish feeding on top, picking up stunned shad as they fall. The only problem with this is, you will lose some slabs on the bottom if you happen to be in a rocky or stumpy area, and can not get your slab loose.
Check your line often for cuts by running your thumbnail down the last couple feet of line. Stripers have sharp fins and they can nick your line, causing you to lose your lures (and fish), whether it be a slab or an expensive top water plug."
Jugline fishing for catfish is legal in Lake Texoma with the use of free-floating white-tagged buoys or floats (usually recycled plastic jugs) with a drop-line that holds three to five baited hooks. Any Striper or other fish caught on juglines must be released.
More than two dozen marinas with boat slips designed to accommodate sailboats and power boats are available on the shores of Lake Texoma. Cedar Mills on the West End of the lake and Grandpappy Point at the East End by the Denison Dam are well-known by enthusiasts who come to sail nearly 90,000 surface acres of water. Both marinas have service shops, restaurants and lodging as well.
If you want to put your houseboat, power boat or jet skis into Lake Texoma, you'll have plenty of public boat ramps and private marinas to choose from, on both the Oklahoma and Texas sides of the lake. And you'll enjoy the scenic shoreline as well several islands in the center of the lake.
Besides the private marinas, The Army Corps of Engineers maintains 10 campgrounds with over 700 campsites, 25 miles of equestrian trails, a rugged 14-mile Cross Timbers hiking trail through rocky and wooded bluffs overlooking the lake, boat rentals, slip rentals and concessions.
Two wildlife refuges flank the northern and southern ends of Lake Texoma, Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma and Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. Visitors often see eagles, ducks, geese, heron and egret during their annual migrations, as well as resident white-tail deer and wild hogs. Hunting permits are available from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Whether you come to see bright fall foliage reflected in blue water along the red-dirt shoreline or bask in the summer sun on the beach of Treasure Island, you'll find plenty to enjoy at Lake Texoma year-round. | 2019-04-25T16:42:11 | https://www.laketexoma.com/information |

South Africa joined the PCT in 1999. The national phase entry deadline is 31 months from the priority/ first filing date of the PCT application. South Africa is not a member of ARIPO.
Filing specification and reporting: USD 780.
Voluntary amendment of specification prior to acceptance (minimum charge): USD 350.
In general, all the information we require to file a PCT national phase patent application in South Africa can be found on the front sheet of the WO publication. An exception to this is where there has been a change in the data reflected on the WO publication or where the South African national phase is to be filed in the name of a new applicant. In this case, we require the full name and physical address of the new applicant.
Additional documents that are helpful to us are: the PCT Request, the complete WO publication, amendments submitted during the PCT phase, the ISR and IPER, a copy of the specification and claims as they stood immediately prior to the South African national phase entry in Word format.
If the PCT application was not published in English: verified English translation of WO publication and any amendments made to the specification and/or claims during the international stage in terms of Article 19 and/or 34.
Although we can submit scanned copies of the documents listed under 1. to 4. above when filing the South African application, we require the originally signed copies for our file as the Registrar of Patent may at any time call for the original documents to be submitted. After filing, we can only submit original documents. Notarisation or legalisation of signed documents is NOT required.
If the PCT application was not filed in English, we need to submit a verified translation thereof into English together with a translation of any amendments made during the international stage within three months of the 31-month national phase entry deadline.
IMPORTANT: Please note that this deadline is NOT extendible.
Unless a Declaration in terms of PCT Rule 4.17 (ii) or (iii) was submitted when filing the PCT application, it will be necessary to show how the Applicant obtained the rights in the invention from the inventors. We shall provide you with an Assignment of Invention for signature.
A Declaration & Power of Attorney (Patents Form P3) as well as a Patents Form P26 (Statement on the use of Indigenous Biological Resource, Genetic Resource, Traditional Knowledge or Use) must be filed for each South African national phase patent application. As the Declaration & Power of Attorney is case specific, it is not possible to file a General Power of Attorney for patents in South Africa.
The Assignment of Invention, Form P3 and Form P26 can be filed within six months of the national filing date. Extensions of this deadline are available upon application made.
If a priority document was submitted in terms of Rule 17.1 this does not need to be submitted at the South African Patent Office.
It is not possible to amend any part of the specification, claims or drawings prior to entering the national phase in South Africa, i.e. the PCT application as it stood immediately prior to national phase entry becomes the South African national phase.
Once all formal filing requirements have been complied with, a Notice of Acceptance is issued and we arrange for publication of the abstract of the application in the South African Patent Journal. The patent is deemed to have been granted on the date of publication in the South African Patent Journal.
It is possible to file a voluntary amendment to the specification and/or claims prior to acceptance of the application. We typically file voluntary amendments around 3 months after filing the case to, for example, amend or delete wording that may form basis for an application for revocation and to add omnibus claims.
In South Africa, the patentee bears the responsibility of ensuring that his or her patent is valid, once granted. If the family members of the South African national phase have been filed in examining jurisdictions, we highly recommend amending the claims of the South African application to be in line with an examined set of foreign claims.
We further recommend that such an amendment be filed before acceptance of the South African application. As examination in foreign jurisdictions typically takes several years, we can file an application to delay acceptance of the South African patent application to allow for pre-grant amendments to be made.
The scope of allowable amendments filed before grant is wider than that of amendments filed after grant. In addition, post-grant amendments are open to opposition by third parties, whereas pre-grant amendments are not. One possible ground for opposing a post-grant amendment is that there was an undue delay in filing the application for amendment. This could be the case where a co-pending family member in a foreign jurisdiction has been granted but the application for amendment of the South African case was filed long thereafter.
A South African national phase patent application will lapse 12 months from the national phase entry date if all formal filing requirements have not been complied with at that date. We therefore automatically delay acceptance of all South African national phase patent applications by a further six months should all formal filing requirements not have been met immediately prior to the 12-month deadline.
Renewal fees are payable annually after the third anniversary of the international filing date of the PCT application until expiration of the patent 20 years from the international filing date. Renewal fees can be paid up to six months after the renewal due date upon payment of the applicable fine.
If a South African national phase patent application is granted three months or more before the expiration of 36 months from the international filing date, the first renewal fee is payable 3 years from the international filing date. If the application is granted after the expiration of 36 months from the international filing date or less than three months prior to such expiration date, the patentee can pay any renewal fees payable within six months of the date of grant of the South African patent. Thereafter, renewal fees are paid annually on the anniversary of the international filing date. | 2019-04-19T15:06:46 | http://gallowayip.com/index.php/south-africa/pct-national-phase-patent-applications |

There are several improvements in the Windows 10 Anniversary update. One of them is the Action Center with how the notifications appear. In the Action Center all the notifications appear in groups according to the apps, and you can easily dismiss a group of notifications rather than one notification at a time. Moreover, you can even reply to Skype and other messages directly from the notification center. You can also set app notification priorities so that the notifications from your favorite apps are not buried deep down in the Action Center.
The following is how you can set app notification priorities in the Windows 10 Anniversary update.
Setting app notification priorities in Windows 10 is as easy as selecting a radio button. To start, click on the notifications icon appearing on the right-most-side of the taskbar, and then click on the “All Settings” button.
The above action will open the Windows 10 Settings app. Here, click on the “System” option.
In the System settings, select the option “Notifications and Actions” appearing in the left pane.
This window will show you all the settings related to the action center and the app notifications. Here, select the app you want to change the app notification priority for. In my case I’m selecting the WhatsApp application.
As soon as you select the app, it will show you all the notification settings of the target app. If you scroll down, you will see three notification priorities. Here is what the priorities actually mean.
Top: As you can tell from the name itself, when you set an app to the top priority, the notifications from that app will be shown on top of all the other app notifications. Since an app set to top priority can show notifications on top of all the others, you can only set one application as the top priority.
High: High priority is just below the Top, and any app set to this priority will be shown just below the Top priority notifications and on top of the Normal priority notifications. You can set as many apps as you want to the High priority.
Normal: The apps set to Normal priority will be shown just below all the High priority notifications.
To set an app priority, simply select the appropriate option under the “Priority of Notifications in Action Center.” In my case I’m changing the notification priority from Normal to High.
This app notifications will now be shown above the Normal priority notifications.
By default, the Cortana notifications are set to the Top priority. However, you can easily set any app to the top priority. All you have to do is select the “Top” radio button. If you try to set any other app to the Top priority, Windows will show you a confirmation message letting you know that another is set to this priority. Simply click on the button “Confirm” to apply the changes.
As soon as you change the top priority app, the previous app will be automatically demoted to High priority. You can see that change in the below image.
Do comment below sharing your thoughts and experiences about the app notification priorities feature in Windows 10. | 2019-04-21T05:05:31 | https://www.maketecheasier.com/notification-priorities-windows-10/ |

Countries around the world are acting to combat illegal logging and foster good forest governance. In this section of FLEGT.org you will find information about the approaches that countries are taking, as well as about initiatives that cross national borders. If you would like to share information about global action, please contact us.
Forests cover 16% of Australia’s land area. Australia imports timber worth about EUR 2.75 billion each year and produces many timber products.
Australia’s Illegal Logging Prohibition Act 2012 aims to combat trade in illegally logged timber products. This Act applies to all Australian businesses and treats all timber equally, regardless of its origin.
The Act bans Australian businesses from importing illegally logged timber and illegal timber products into Australia. The Act also prohibits companies from processing Australian-grown logs that have been illegally harvested. It establishes comprehensive monitoring and investigation powers, and sets out penalties for Australian businesses that do not comply with the Act.
Forests cover more than a fifth of China’s land mass. China imports more timber than any other country. Imported wood is mainly processed into timber products for domestic consumption or for export to international markets. Between 2000 and 2010, China banned logging in natural forests. The government plans to re-introduce a ban on logging natural forest for commercial purposes by the end of 2017.
In 2007, China and the EU held an EU-China Forest Law Enforcement and Governance Conference in Beijing. The conference was followed by meetings to discuss a Bilateral Coordination Mechanism. In 2009, the EU and China agreed to set up such a mechanism and to undertake joint activities each year to support policy dialogue. Activities have included raising awareness, chain of custody management, timber tracking and information sharing. Discussions have focused on understanding EU market requirements and issues relating to the legality of timber imported into and exported from China.
In 2009 the Chinese State Forestry Administration and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce produced the Guide on Sustainable Overseas Forests Management and Utilization by Chinese Enterprises. The guidelines are applicable to all Chinese enterprises engaged in forest harvesting, wood processing and utilisation, and related activities in foreign countries. They guide Chinese enterprises to play a positive role in the sustainable development of global forest resources. The Guide is voluntary as there are no reporting requirements or compliance mechanisms.
Draft Guidelines for Overseas Sustainable Forest Products Trade and Investment by Chinese Enterprises have been developed by the Chinese State Forestry Administration and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. They are presently under negotiation.
Forests and plantations cover 40% of Canada’s land mass. The area of tree cover is 1.5 times the area of the European Union. Canada is a net exporter of timber and imports only small quantities of tropical wood.
Imports are subject to the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act, which bans the import of illegally harvested timber. The government monitors domestic forestry operations to lower the risk of illegal logging.
The Act states that 'no person shall import into Canada any animal or plant that was taken, or any animal or plant, or any part or derivative of an animal or plant, that was possessed, distributed or transported in contravention of any law of any foreign state.' At present there is no enforcement structure for the legislation.
A fifth of India is covered by forest, but India is one of the world’s main importers of timber and wood-based products. The government has done little to tackle the importation of illegal timber, concentrating most effort on dealing with domestic illegalities.
Indonesia’s 90 million hectares of forests cover about half of its land mass. It is one of the world's principal exporters of tropical timber, exporting a wide variety of products, including plywood, furniture and pulp and paper. The main export markets are China, the EU, Japan and Korea. Indonesia signed a Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) with the EU in 2013.
On 1 January 2016 a new system to control imports of timber products entered into force in Indonesia. Businesses importing certain regulated timber products are now required to register with the Ministry of Trade and to undertake 'due diligence' checks on their legality. The system is based on the regulations of the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The Ministry of Trade decrees state that imported timber and timber products require proof of legality from the country where they were harvested. Only registered traders and registered processing operators are allowed to import timber and/or timber products into Indonesia.
Nearly 70% of Japan is covered by forests. Japan is also one of the largest importers of tropical timber, sourcing imports mainly from Asia.
Japan has introduced a voluntary system called goho-wood (legal-wood) to promote trade in legally sourced wood products but currently has no binding legislation. Japanese legislators in both the ruling and opposition parties have committed to passing legislation to address the influx of illegal timber into Japan. Legislators aim to enact this law before the G7 in Japan at the end of May 2016 as part of Japan’s G8 commitment to address illegal logging.
Public procurement constitutes only 5% of total wood procurement in Japan. While some timber industry associations in Japan follow the voluntary guidelines for goho-wood, the system does not demand the level of due diligence called for by the EU Timber Regulation, the Lacey Act or the Australian Illegal Logging Prohibition Act. A study published by Chatham House in November 2014 found that between 7 and 12% of total timber and paper-sector products imported by Japan were at risk of illegal logging.
Almost 60% of Malaysia's land area is forested. Timber is an important export product and a significant contributor to the country's economy. The EU is one of Malaysia's top three export markets for timber products. Malaysia began negotiating a voluntary partnership agreement with the EU in 2007. Draft timber legality assurance systems exist for Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah. Negotiations are currently on hold until agreement on the development of a timber legality assurance system for the state of Sarawak is reached.
On 1 January 2016, Peninsular Malaysia introduced a new regulation making it compulsory for importers to have evidence of the legality of imports of round logs, plywood and some sawn wood types from 1 June 2016 onwards. Evidence of legality must come from the original producer country and can be demonstrated in six ways, including through a not further specified customs declaration issued by the exporting country, timber certification documents or a FLEGT licence. The Malaysian Timber Industry Board will integrate the requirements of the new regulation into the timber legality assurance system for Peninsular Malaysia. The timber legality assurance system of Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah will help ensure legality of Malaysian timber until a voluntary partnership agreement is finalised.
Importers of timber products not covered by the regulation are advised to obtain evidence of legality from producing countries, particularly for products which will undergo further processing, and be exported to EU Member States.
Forest and plantations cover almost 40% of the land area in New Zealand. Illegal logging is not a significant problem as imported timber represents less than 1% of domestic timber consumption.
In 2009, the government adopted a policy on domestic and international action on illegal logging and associated trade. The policy promotes a voluntary approach at national, bilateral and multilateral levels to curb trade in illegal timber.
A third of Norway has tree cover. In 2007 Norway issued a public procurement policy banning the use of tropical timber. Norway’s imports are subject to the legality and due diligence requirements of the EU Timber Regulation.
Russia has the largest area of forests and plantations in the world at over 800 million hectares. Trees cover nearly half of the country. Illegal logging is a significant problem, particularly in the far east.
Russia introduced the Roundwood Act in 2013 to mandate the tracking of roundwood, including high-value species such as oak, beech and ash. The Act, however, does not regulate trade of other timber products such as sawnwood.
About 60% of South Korea is covered by forests. It has a low rate of deforestation and is one of the world’s largest importers of timber and wood-based products. A law on sustainable use of timber introduced in 2012 includes provisions relating to illegally logged timber. The government has not yet indicated how the law will be implemented.
The Act on the Sustainable Use of Timbers of May 2012 requires national and local government to 'carry out measures against the distribution and/or use of illegally logged timber domestically and internationally.' As of 2013, South Korea has also been building bilateral forest cooperation with 28 countries.
Forests cover about 31% of Switzerland. In 2010 the Swiss government brought into force a regulation requiring compulsory declarations for timber and timber products. Sellers of timber and timber products must provide transparent information about the type of timber and its origin. The Swiss government is currently drafting a regulation similar to the EU Timber Regulation.
Forests cover one-third of the land area of the United States. The domestic forestry industry is significant both for producing and processing timber. Nevertheless, the United States is still one of the main importers of timber and wood-based products in the world.
The United States government introduced the Lacey Act in 1900 to ban the transport of illegally captured animals or wildlife products across state lines or international borders. In 2008, the United States Congress passed an amendment to the Act, extending its scope to include timber, paper and other forest products. The amendment also sets out penalties for those found guilty of trading in illegal forest products.
The requirements of the Lacey Act are valid throughout the United States supply chain. It is illegal for anyone in the United States to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire or purchase illegally sourced forest products.
The EU Timber Regulation aims to reduce illegal logging by ensuring that illegal timber or timber products cannot be sold in the EU. It was created as part of the EU FLEGT Action Plan.
The EU Timber Regulation came into force on 3 March 2013. It prohibits the placing onto the EU market of illegally harvested timber and timber products derived from such timber. It requires operators who place timber or timber products on the market for the first time to exercise due diligence to make sure that timber and timber products are legal. To facilitate the traceability of timber and timber products, the EU Timber Regulation also requires traders who buy or sell timber products on the EU market to keep records of their suppliers and customers.
The EU Timber Regulation defines ‘legal' timber as timber produced in compliance with the laws of the country where it is harvested. The regulation covers a range of timber products, such as solid wood products, flooring, plywood, pulp and paper; products to which the regulation applies are listed in the annex.
The Timber Regulation Enforcement Exchange (TREE) organises networking and information sharing meetings to ensure that global initiatives to combat the trade in illegal timber build on and learn from each other. TREE is facilitated by the non-profit association Forest Trends and the think tank Chatham House. These organisations work with officials from EU Member States and United States agencies responsible for enforcing the Lacey Act to understand the complex, high-risk supply chains for wood products, and to support coordinated implementation. Meetings bring together representatives from across the EU, United States and Australia. | 2019-04-23T04:11:01 | http://www.flegt.org/flegt-global |

Instrumentation engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the study of devices that are used to measure physical quantities such as flow, temperature, level and pressure. Additionally, the design of devices is also included and contributes to making up this engineering course. The engineer will analyze, plan, design and device elements that are used in the identification of the accurate measurements. In order to achieve this, a broad range of technical skills will be drawn upon.
This course is intended to create the bridge between the technical concepts and the practical experience gained by the students. This course will enable the students to acquire knowledge on instrumentation and electrical concepts that are required in the Oil and Gas facilitated industries. | 2019-04-20T04:53:03 | https://www.video.idc-online.com/swiss-army-knife-breakdown/courses/4-instrumentation/200-span-cog-span-electrical-and-instrumentation-engineering-in-oil-and-gas.html |
Listen to “Bust Down Barbiana” below.
Nicki Minaj recently dropped two new freestyles flexing her past rap days. One of the tracks “Barbie Goin Bad” features Meek Mill and Drake‘s popular Championships song “Going Bad.” The other track “Barbie Drip” includes Lil Baby and Gunna’s “Drip Too Hard.” She released these tracks on her new Beats 1 show, Queen Radio.
Minaj goes back to her Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape roots and throws shots at quite a few people without naming names. On “Barbie Drip,” she alludes to being at the top of the industry. This track is a bit reminiscent of “Itty Biggy Piggy” since it is also a bit upbeat. She also added that the upcoming tour with Juice WRLD is coming soon. On “Barbie Drip,” she raps about her love for designer goods.
These two tracks are the latest music releases from Nicki since her latest video for her single “Hard White.” Her recent album QUEEN was the number two album when it dropped last year. The number one slot went to Travis Scott‘s Astroworld. | 2019-04-19T06:38:16 | https://hypebae.com/2019/2/nicki-minaj-queen-radio-freestyles-barbie-drip-goin-bad |
Aaron here again. As an update to this on day 14 of Films Crew’s stalemate, I wanted to make clear, Levi and I had a simple band disagreement with SZ which has been resolved. The misunderstanding between Name Redacted and SZ caused more tension between all of us. Levi said Name Redacted told him the he did not know how to explain things. The problem with that is, SZ did nothing wrong here except believe in someone who said he loved him, so communication shouldn’t be that difficult, so either communicate or keep the person you love hurting. We took Name Redacted at his word that things like this wouldn’t happen, and are hoping Name Redacted resolves this situation. SZ has referred to himself as a novelty for sometime for good reasons, if Name Redacted is not willing to communicate, Christopher Reyher is just proving the point that SZ is a novelty.
Of course Name Redacted can log in to the website and add to this dialogue.
Aaron: In the interest of transparency, we would like to explain a situation that has some people confused involving two incidents of tension which we would like to explain because things have gotten out of hand, two different events were going on which involved the band and Name Redacted which somehow got jumbled together. We are going to leave this up for few days, then archive it.
Jay: What happened during the band’s summit meeting by phone on Wednesday?
Levi: During the conference call Aaron and I were overly anxious, possibly combative, regarding Shawn’s need for over-perfectionism regarding the mixes for the upcoming Films Crew EP. In hindsight, this was uncalled for as we had miscalculated the time constraints of his schedule, which we were had remissibly not taken into consideration, in which he decided it might be best for him to leave the band after concluding the mixes, to focus on school as well as the ANNOXN Project.
Aaron: The call got very heated, SZ and I had a vision for what this release was going to be, which Levi didn’t quite understand and was dismissive about, but this was already baked in, and Levi was ahead of himself over packaging and visuals. I was pushing for the music to be finished faster, but I had also wanted SZ go go in re-track some vocals of his own, I didn’t like him stepping back from doing the majority of vocals and I wanted them to be equally split between him and Andrew, and this wasn’t something SZ was willing to do.
Andrew: I wasn’t prepared for Levi and Aaron needlessly demanding so much from Shawn, I felt slighted and disturbed considering how much work had already been put in so far and thought Levi was being unrealistic, and thought Aaron was pushing for an Aaron and Shawn release, things were very tense, I took Shawn’s side, who was already distressed.
Aaron: Levi and Andrew didn’t know that Name Redacted and SZ had a misunderstanding which was caused by a third party, this had affected him more than I thought. To be clear, there was no yelling at each other, we don’t do that, I can’t because of complications from a tonsillectomy. It was just really tense, what Levi and I did was uncalled for.
Jay: Has this been resolved?
Levi: Reflecting upon it afterwards, I’m agreeable to what we had originally laid out, even though this wasn’t a release we had planned to do, realizing that pushing forward prematurely would be an oversight considering it is a limited vinyl release, although I want a wider release at a later date. I do owe Shawn a much needed apology.
Andrew: I had no issues with from the beginning, Aaron and Levi have made their apologies to me.
Jay: Has anyone connected to the band talked to anyone from The Village Voice?
Levi: Of course not, however that doesn’t mean someone from the label hasn’t.
Aaron: It was about me coming out, but it took a darker turn about duplicity how people use that to take advantage of others like a cycle of abuse that never gets broken out of. I’m sure Name Redacted thinks it is about him, which it wasn’t meant to be, it was mostly about about this woman Krista Kumpf,on Twitter and Periscope that blocked SZ for no reason, after going to some lengths to try get to know him, and at the same time had said some things about him that weren’t true, the problem with this is that she knew some of the details about SZ’s life and how people do this kind of thing she did, the irony is rich there. She has made some bad anti-gay remarks. She also accused me of being involved with high school dramatics, again the irony is rich there, blocking people on social media to make a point like she’s making is the height of high school dramatics. The update wasn’t about Cameron except for one line, How do you sleep at night?, which I added later, because if I knew this situation was going on before SZ did, then obviously Name Redacted did.
Levi: I thought Aaron’s update was thoughtful and introspective, I was unaware of what was going on at the time, though the social commentary of it was an important construction, considering the amount of people live in that aspect, I was impressed.
Andrew: I was impressed by it, it did make me think.
Jay: Please explain your individual Twitter usage.
Levi: I’m seldom on Twitter, perhaps if it’s an unusually busy news day I might follow one of the lists of journalists Shawn assembled, if someone sends me a DM I am emailed, in which case I usually respond with an email. I neither have the time or the inclination to be involved on social media.
Aaron: I text a few people through Twitter, but I mainly use it to keep up with political news, where I follow SZ’s lists, I’m not on it all the time.
Andrew: I’m supposed to be keeping the Films Crew account updated, but I’m not on it often enough.
Jay: Please explain your individual Periscope activity.
Levi: What Periscope activity? After seeing Gays For Trump, which can’t be unseen?! I have seen Name Redacted, whom I think needs an altogether different platform. It’s an abysmal mire of white supremacist trolls extolling pseudo philosophies and maladjusted attention whores. While the white supremacists will eventually split into differing factions before fading into obscurity, it’s truly their platform. Again, I have neither the time nor the inclination to be involved in that morass of mental illness, it’s dangerous and unhealthy.
Aaron: I’ve watched a lot of Alt-Right Periscopes, I’m not on Periscope that often anymore, it’s not healthy. After SZ lost interest in it, I kept watching the Alt-Righters because I had kept up with Gamer-Gate, where the Alt-Right comes out of, but all of it has just become of idiots without a clue that can’t be reasoned with, so not so much anymore.
Andrew: I’m not interested in any of that.
Levi: I talked to his sister in law after I got a message from Name Redacted. I’m certainly not angry with him, there is hardly anything controversial about him or anything he’s done.
Aaron: I talked to his sister in law, he’s not talking to me yet. I said some harsh things and was pushing him during the band meeting, which I need to apologize for.
Andrew: I spoke with him briefly.
Jay: Has anyone talked to Name Redacted, is anyone angry with, or is there any controversy with him?
Aaron: I got a Twitter text from him, I’m not in any way mad at him, I think he needs to fix this misunderstanding with SZ, I think he can do that.
Levi: I’ve only received a message from him via Twitter after reaching out to him, which caused some concern, it was disconcerting, as he had taken what I said out of context, though seeing how the puzzle pieces fit, I understand it. I’m not angry with him at all, I am confused by his actions, as I told him, it’s his responsibility to make his explanations to Shawn.
Andrew: I only know who he is.
Jay: Is there any current controversy with Films Crew?
Levi: Of course not. Shawn may take a break after concluding the mixes. We were supposed to be on a break in the first place.
Aaron: I don’t think so. A little tension happened.
Andrew: Not that I am aware of.

The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism has lots of places-to-go and things-to-see suggestions, and it says 50 of them should cost a family of four less than $50.
If you’d rather not pay anything at all, Fridays may be your lucky day. The Highland Street Foundation is sponsoring “Free Fridays” at the following locales all summer long, meaning it won’t cost you or anyone anything to get in. And the first Friday and Saturday of September will have even more deals. | 2019-04-20T06:22:40 | https://www.patriotledger.com/x145181902/50-PLACES-UNDER-50-Getting-away-without-giving-away-all-your-money |

Future Visions is a collection of science fiction stories inspired by current research at Microsoft. Nancy Kress’ story is simply titled Machine Learning. She comes at the topic from multiple directions, adds in a new disease and potential cure and wraps it all around a family tragedy. I haven’t finished the story yet, but so far it’s as good as the previous pieces. I’m really liking this collection.

55-year-old Jeanne C. DeWall was struck and killed Monday morning while delivering newspapers on her bicycle. Ms. DeWall was riding east on Illinois Road 9 at its intersection with County Road 900 East when she was struck by a car travelling in the same direction. The collision occurred at 6:09 a.m. The driver of the vehicle said that he did not see the bicyclist and was unable to avoid hitting the bike. The Ford County Coroner speculated that the driver may not have been able to see the rear reflector on the bike because of the newspapers on the bike's rack. The coroner further speculated that the driver may have been blinded by the traffic lights from oncoming traffic.
Bicycles are permitted users of the roadway. The coroner did not provide any insights as to why the driver of the vehicle didn't see the bicycle at all until impact and from the quotes it appears that the coroner does not place any blame on the motorist. Motorists have a duty to keep a proper lookout and to travel at a speed that allows them to slow or stop to avoid a collision. That did not happen in this instance. This sounds like an extremely sad and unfortunate incident for all involved.

You have probably landed on this website because you know of my literary work. In my 20’s I wrote a few novels called, The Creamsickle, and, Girls I’ve Run Away With, and toured often around the US and Europe with the Sister Spit Literary Tour.
I no longer write queer novels. My true life’s work is to help other’s find the same happiness and healing that I have found in my life. I have my own successful healing practice in Berkeley, CA. I work with clients in person, and over distance through Skype or phone.
If you feel a calling to my current work than I would love to hear from you. | 2019-04-20T01:14:32 | http://www.rhiannonargo.com/ |

Is multigrain cereal a healthier option than the regular ones?
iCliniq › Ask a doctor online › Answers › Nutritionist › Diet And Lifestyle › Is multigrain cereal a healthier option than the regular ones?
Q. Is multigrain cereal a healthier option than the regular ones?
Answered by Dr. Suneetha B S and medically reviewed by iCliniq medical review team.
I was just wondering. I like cereal and I try to go with a healthier option that still tastes good. So I found multigrain Cheerios and I thought they would be a healthier alternative to something like Froot Loops, Lucky Charms, and other sugary cereals. I know there are healthier options like steel-cut oats but I do not want to sacrifice all the taste. Just wondering what your thoughts on multigrain Cheerios are and if they are truly a healthier option.
• Can I consume nutritional shake for weight loss if I am on thyroid pills?
When it comes to the content of sugar or high fructose corn syrup or chemicals, multigrain cheerios has it in the same amount as the normal one.
Another good habit to follow is to eat one grain in a meal. For example, You should not be eating rice and wheat together in one meal. So multigrain is never the best option.
You can try making steel cut oats more delicious by adding dry or fresh fruits.

Pauline is a teacher, researcher and practitioner in organizational change, collaborative action research, family therapy, intervention research, and translational research. Her primary research interest is to forge collaborative relationship with different stakeholders to conduct innovative research for creating new knowledge to solve highly complex social and health problems.
With Professor Donald Schon of MIT in 2000, Pauline developed a groundbreaking theory to explain how experienced practitioners learn new knowledge to promote novel organizational changes. Recently, Pauline has transferred her expertise to develop new knowledge for organizational changes to the field of public health. In 2009-2011, she received a GRF grant to lead a high quality multi-disciplinary team to develop and validate a first of its kind of a family-based model to prevent adolescent obesity epidemic in HK. In 2011, Having been awarded as a distinguished Fulbright Senior Scholar, Pauline had spent one academic year at the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. During this year, she had expanded her research focus from a familial approach to a social determinants-based prevention model for adolescent obesity.
In addition, she collaborated with Prof. Ross Brownson and other world-renowned faculty members of Prevention Research Center of WU to explore strategic plans to introduce a new discipline, the dissemination and implementation science, to China. In 2014 , Pauline formed a cross-disciplinaryinternational research team, consisting academics from Stanford University, Washington University in SL, Tongji Medical School, and the HK Polytechnic University to implement a first of its kind research on internet-based intervention for prevention of adolescent obesity in Shanghai.
Another significant research milestone was to secure a R21 grant from the National Institute of Health (US) to launch a cross- country research (2014-6) on the contextual factors that affect the dissemination of the evidence-based research and practice in cancer prevention. Since 2016, she has collaborated with Prof. Richard Wong, a renowned economics in labor and social mobility, and Prof Xiaogang Wu, an acclaimed sociologist in social research, to form a cross-disciplinary research team to advocate an early childhood investment research. This policy research has a dual focuses: to promote social mobility for young children coming from low-income families and to enhance productive aging for mature adults in Hong Kong. | 2019-04-25T06:24:44 | http://pathofdemocracy.hk/portfolio/pauline-sung/ |

As the population ages, oncologists will be faced with managing an exploding number of older patients with breast cancer. The primary challenge of caring for older cancer patients is providing treatment options that maximize long-term survival while accounting for comorbidities, life expectancy, and effects of treatment. There is a paucity of data from trials on the risks and benefits of effective treatments in elderly breast cancer patients. This article discusses how to evaluate older breast cancer patients and provides guidelines for optimal therapies in the adjuvant and metastatic treatment settings. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. | 2019-04-26T09:50:35 | http://scholars.uab.edu/display/pub1175492 |

Do your ” girls ” talk to you? Come on, you can tell sister Deb. I won’t have you admitted if you say yes cuz mine do! The other day while I was out doing chores Gladys poked her head out of the coop and asked, “Where is spring?” You mean, sunny, warm days with evidence of new life at every turn? It’s on its way, I replied. Gladys clucked back, “good, because I’m tired of being cooped up, looking at colorless gardens and I miss my dust baths in the sun! Me too I said, me too. Except for the dust bath in the sun part…Feeling my toes in the warm sand would do it for me right about now! Let’s fast forward to sunnier days to come shall we? I bet we can find spring then!
Can you believe it’s been two years since we had our first visit together on the shorelines? Me neither! I feel so blessed to be able to reach out to you from my beach chair in the sand twice a month! I can’t help but feel sentimental about this little farmgirl milestone of ours. When I think back to what my life was like before MaryJanesFarm, before the Beach Farmgirl Blog came to life, before I even knew what being a farmgirl truly meant, life was good. Heck, what am I talking about, life was GREAT! But it’s richer, tastier, and healthier and way more fun than ever before now! Let’s walk and talk all things “farmgirl “shall we?

In case you thought Obama’s clemency for 248 federal prisoners was unprecedented, the White House would like you to know he’s just getting started. Even though he has already granted more clemencies than the past six presidents combined, Obama is planning to accelerate his jailbreak program. Meanwhile, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), instead of moving to block funding for these prison releases, plans to legitimize Obama’s jailbreak by codifying it into law.
‘No more eating, sleeping or drinking until we get all these commutations done,’ Eggleston recalled telling his staff after Obama met on Wednesday with people who’d had their sentences commuted in the past.
So far, Obama’s commutations have come in batches released every few months. December’s was the biggest set to date, at 95. At that time, too, administration officials promised more speed. On Friday, Eggleston said he believes the ‘infrastructure is now very much in place’ to file and process clemency petitions.
As we observed last week, the primary drivers of the federal prison population are illegal immigration and the drug cartels. Yet, instead not “eating, sleeping or drinking” until our nation’s sovereignty and security are defended, the White House is harnessing that sense of urgency to release dangerous career criminals back onto our streets.
Where is the national outrage from Republicans about the broader jailbreak agenda, the clemencies and the release of violent criminal aliens? Republicans should be introducing legislation, holding hearings, and conducting non-stop media interviews decrying this war on our sovereignty, security, and society. Yet, on an almost daily basis, Speaker Paul Ryan actually name-drops “criminal justice reform” as his top legislative priority for the remainder of the year. He provides Obama tailwinds instead of headwinds for his most dangerous agenda, which is opposed by the silent majority of the country.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Obama’s approval rating is higher than it’s ever been over the past few years, despite the colossal national security malfeasance on the part of the administration. Whether it’s Iran violating the terms of the deal, Obama releasing terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, endless immigration issues, groveling before Cuba, or giving weapons to Islamists in Syria, Republicans have failed to litigate the case against Obama. They have opted to focus on banal and obscure legislative priorities and have ignored endless issues of grave concern.
Imagine if we had a Republican Party that spotlighted some of the issues we focus on daily at Conservative Review? It would not only represent prudent policy; it would be sound politics. The majority of this country is concerned about rising crime and believes that there has been a break down in law and order. Perhaps one day we will have a president who finally prioritizes law and order. | 2019-04-26T16:32:01 | https://www.conservativereview.com/news/obama-promising-prison-releases-paul-ryan-cheers/ |

*It actually is not recommended that you play any sort of audio at “full blast”, but unfortunately “so you can stay on task all while keeping your music at a safe and responsible 65% volume” did not have the same ring to it.
This timeless tune is a great beat to brainstorm project ideas to. Remember, if you have any ideas that might need some developing or direction, head over to the Digilent Forum to inquire for assistance with both technical questions and to get tips on where to take your ideas!
This upbeat and chipper tune provide the perfect background tune with which you can browse for materials. In fact, I have found that this beat pairs particularly well with the the optimistic green that can be found on the Digilent website, and the soothing feeling of scrolling through the vast amount of useful project materials lends itself to quite a satisfying experience. This stage is an exciting time filled with hope, and when its easy to find what you need you can carry that early enthusiasm over into the next stage… which is a good idea to do. You will need it.
Song Suggestion: I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys.
This soulful classic is a great reminder that your ideas and methods have value, even in the face of adversity and defiance from a project. Even when presented with the most obstinate of builds, it is a good thing to remember that any obstacle can be overcome with the appropriate amount of belief. It also reminds one to keep perspective, since in retrospect many things that seemed like a good idea at the time later turned out to need a different approach.
The song also has some great quotes that can really sum up parts of the experience of stage 3. It can be satisfying, and totally not something to be embarrassed about to sing along as well.
“TELL ME WHY” -The Backstreet Boys, 1999. Also Kaitlyn, 2017.
This song is great for late nights when your panicking, even if its not at the disco. Even if its just by yourself in your bedroom the hour before you have to show your teacher a project that you totally promised was finished last week. If you are more into the country genre another good suggestion to play in this situation is “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood to remind yourself to think twice before academic dishonesty. If you find yourself in this position you may want to check out the Analog Discovery 2 and its amazing debugging capabilities to catapult yourself into stage 5.
The ultimate triumph song is the only appropriate choice for this glorious moment. Feel free to sing its empowering lyrics as you power up your project and showcase your masterpiece. And make sure to show us what you made but submitting to the project vault and getting our attention on social media! | 2019-04-23T18:19:48 | https://blog.digilentinc.com/the-project-stages-playlist/ |

Here are some beading basics like threading the needle, finishing off the thread and starting a new thread. Also, some information about two different threads currently available. So, how do you thread that tiny needle? The first thing to remember when threading a beading needle is that you put the needle onto the thread. Don’t try to aim the thread through the eye of the needle. Here’s my method – I am right-handed – just use the other hand if you are left-handed.
1. Hold the thread in your left hand between thumb and index finger.
3. With your right hand, line up the eye of the needle over the thread and push the needle down between your thumb and index finger.
4. The thread should “pop” into the eye and you needle will be threaded.
1. If it doesn’t work after a couple of tries, turn the needle over so the other side of the eye is down. One side of the eye of the needle is more open for the thread to go through.
2. If it still doesn’t work, cut the thread and try again. You need to have a sharp edge on the thread for it to go through the beading needle.
With beading we work with a very long thread – 3-4 feet long is not uncommon. Find the longest length of thread that you can work with comfortably. That is, it does not knot up or twist too much.
When you have about 6 inches of thread left, it is time to finish off and start the new thread. You need at least 6 inches to weave the thread through your beadwork to secure it.
1. Leave your needle in the old or current working thread.
2. Make a “hangman’s” knot near the end of the new thread taking care that the shortest arm tightens up the noose. Be sure to keep the side of the noose parallel – don’t get the threads crossed up. See image 1.
3. Bring the needle and the old thread up into the noose and place the noose as close as possible to the last bead.
4. Carefully tighten the noose keeping the threads parallel and the old thread taught.
5. When you have the noose closed and as close as possible to the last bead, give it a tug. You should hear a “click” to indicate that the threads are knotted. Give a tug on the tails of the old and new threads – all should stay in place. See image 2.
6. You have successfully joined the new thread to the old thread.
The method I use is to weave a bit away from the last worked bead, then go around a square of beads and pull the thread through the loop, then weave away a bit more. Some beaders like to use nail polish at the point where you joined the threads for extra security, but I have not found this necessary and don’t like the texture that is left by the nail polish, especially if working with matte finish beads.
1. Weave your thread through a few beads into your worked piece. Be careful to move from bead to bead. Don’t hop across a space to another bead.
2. Next weave through 4 beads that make up a square, but don’t pull the thread tight. Leave a bit of a loop between the first and second beads. When you get back to the first bead, take the thread through this loop and then through the second bead again and pull tight. This will secure your thread.
3. Weave your thread through a few more beads in your piece and then cut off any remaining thread.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the tail of the new thread. But go in a slightly different direction so you are not going through the same beads again.
In this section, I will describe two types of threads that I use the most when beading with a needle. There are lots of other threads available and other materials you can use for stringing beads.
NYMO - Probably the most common bead thread you will find is “Nymo” it is a nylon thread and comes in many colours as well as black and white. Nymo has sizes A through D with D being the finest and A being a bit thicker and stronger. I tend to use size D for a project where I know I will need to go through a bead many times and size B when I will be going through a bead up to three times.
FIRELINE – This is a fine filament fishing line generally available at Canadian Tire. It comes in black and clear. I use clear as the black tends to wear off if you handle the thread a lot. Unlike other “fishing lines” you can easily thread Fireline into a beading needle and it holds a knot. Using Fireline, makes your piece a bit stiffer than if you use a nylon thread. This is most useful for three-dimensional objects. | 2019-04-19T14:56:59 | http://theneedleworkpages.com/article/beading-basics.html |

Rose Caston is an MD-PhD student at the University of Utah School of Medicine. In her undergraduate education in biomedical engineering at Dartmouth College, Rose trained to approach problems within biomedicine systematically. She also identified, through her studies in anthropology, that often the best solutions require understanding the context of the problem. She put this knowledge to practice and explored how the fields of biomedical engineering interacted outside the classroom. Working as a research assistant at the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Center at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center, Rose studied how implantable probes were used to measure oxygen in tumor sites. She discovered the intersection between medicine and engineering through one of the group’s clinical trials. She receives excellent mentorship from her female physician-scientist role models at Dartmouth, the University of Utah, and AMWA. Through her role as a Conference Co-Chair, Rose finds enjoyment bringing together powerful women conducting meaningful biomedical work. | 2019-04-20T13:13:39 | https://www.amwa-doc.org/students/leadership-3/conference-co-chair1/ |
Have Flax Seeds First Thing In The Morning & I Will Tell You Why?
You must have seen me in the packets in the grocery stores' shelf. You have worn me in the linen form.
I come from a fiber crop also popularly known as linseed. If you see any 5 petaled blue flower like this- that's my buoy!
'Why' Should You Eat Me?
1. I am a rich source of high-fiber so I am of great help to people suffering from problems of constipation. Hence, also improve your mood. Jokes apart, Studies have shown that intake of flax seeds help in fighting anxiety and depression.
2. You heard of omega 3 fatty acids that are good for your brain and heart.
Only trans fats lead to the cholesterol problems otherwise fats are the essential nutrients that help in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins. Omega 3 fatty acids belong to the best type of fats i.e., Polyunsaturated fats found primarily in some fishes, nuts and seeds; it is a fat that one should not run away from. Your body does not produce this on its own.
During pregnancy, the deficiency of omega 3 is linked to low intelligence, poor eyesight and an increased risk of several health problems.
Note: Pregnant women should ask their doctors first depending on their health conditions. He will advise whether to have it or not because it may have instill menstruation in some cases or other complications if overdosed.
3. Feeling hungry most of the time??
You feel those hunger pangs after every 15 mins and need something to munch on? What's better than me- healthy and satiating seeds ever.
Being rich in fiber which results in absorption of lot of liquid. Your stomach feels full and no craving= no unhealthy, easy available substitutes like cookies, chips and other snacks= NO weight gain.
5. With age, People have to be more cautious of their cholesterol levels.
See flax seeds gotta plan for you..
The fibers help in absorption of bile which mainly contains cholesterol out of your system. High BP, blood clots and artery inflammation can be treated with the regular consumption.
By increasing the amount of calcium in bones, I improve bone and joint health. As a result, reducing the chances of arthritis.
Men must be alarmed by this point. Yes! the essential nutrients prevent the hairfall and promotes the growth of new hair follicles.
DHA, a type of omega-3, is a major structural component of the brain and retina of the eye.
Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for brain growth and development in infants.
10. Adding 1 tbsp to your smoothie or morning cereal can really reduce dryness and alleviate acne issues. I have the combination of the essential nutrients and anti-oxidants for your skin and nails.
'WHEN' MUCH SHOULD YOU EAT?
Start your morning with a dose by adding me to your cereals, milk or smoothie. In fact you can eat me anytime.
'HOW' MUCH SHOULD YOU EAT?
The recommended intake of total dietary fiber is 25 g/day for women and 38 g/day for men.
Today, we are consuming more than 10 times as many omega-6 fatty acids as we are omega-3 fatty acids because of the increase of highly processed foods in modern diets. Eating less omega-6 and more omega-3 fats, from foods like ALA-rich flax seed, can help lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke and cancer as well as lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Chew properly because swallowing them can lead to indigestion and will leave body without any effects.
HOW CAN YOU ENJOY ME, NEED ANY RECIPIES?

As I already stated, SEO generates valuable traffic. Your content will only help the site to rank higher if it is comprehensive and engaging. Rankings matter. But they’re not the metric you should be focusing on. Google has for years been emphasizing on user experience to ensure that all users always get what they want. Your content should, therefore, provide answers to issues that affect the target audience. If you want people to hang around your site, or make the purchases, your site should load in lightning speed, otherwise the users will not even give a second thought in jumping on to your competitor’s website.
content. Not every spot on your website will give your keyword phrases the same exposure and SEO power. In a content’s structure the best places to put your keywords are headlines, subheadings, bolded sections within a text and anchor texts (copy that describes links). These are completely identical content that is pasted across different pages or websites. Did we forget to mention that the algorithm will affect search results in all languages globally? Ever wonder how to pick the perfect keyword topic for your blog or website, or find one that will have the most value? Most SEO strategists and content creators focus on, at best, two of the eight dimensions they should analyze when creating a keyword strategy for a website. Much like other SEO strategies, keyword research has evolved to a level that goes well beyond “how many people are searching for a topic.” It now includes many more variables that help define how much value a topic will bring to a website.
Content that has been created with the best SEO practices will fly straight up Google’s rankings and what’s more, will help other pages to stay high in a Google search.– It’s great getting to the first page of a Google search, but can you stay there? If you’re looking to take things a step further, Google’s AMP format can further optimize mobile experiences by reducing load time and improving mobile search rank. Sometimes these pages can be duplicates of others, sometimes they can have partially written content, and sometimes they can simply be empty. What is SEO? You will need to present information in an easy-to-follow fashion. Without discounting the value of links and traffic, content is most likely the key element of a website's charisma. Good content will lead to links and traffic.
Gaz Hall, a Freelance SEO Consultant from SEO Hull, commented: "If you notice that the ranking has fallen precipitously through many pages within a very short time, there is a serious problem." Do your maths - its one of the primary resources for this sort of thing. Its as simple as KS2 Maths. Really! Understanding how crawling, indexing, and ranking works is helpful to SEO practitioners, as it helps them determine what actions to take to meet their goals. It is important that you select keywords that are neither too broad nor too specific so that you will not have a difficult time having it rank on Google. The right content can attract the right users through your business funnel. Site owners must focus on the quality of the backlinks rather than number of backlinks. Quality links mean links from a relevant site with a higher authority.
If you make a website from scratch, you need to take a few SEO related things into account. It’s incredibly important to do this right from the start, as that will prevent a vast number of future headaches. On the other hand, if the site it's on seems suspicious, that's a good reason to try and remove it. Backlinks are incoming links to your website from another site. They are an indispensable part of SEO and a prime ranking factor Google takes into account in their PageRank algorithm.

These days, there are many sources that try to offer wiring diagrams to this mechanic online. Most times these suppliers have either incomplete or incorrect diagrams that may potentially cost the shop wasted time, money or perhaps a lawsuit. A botched automotive wiring occupation is a potentially catastrophic mistake which no moral repairman wishes to make. Using wiring diagrams that are bad is a sure fire recipe for disaster. Many times these unsuccessful wiring diagrams are available free of charge, however, the expert mechanic is best served to steer clear of these since they are generally not worth the paper they're printed on.
One of the most difficult automotive repair jobs that a mechanic or repair shop can undertake is your wiring, or rebuilding of an automobile's electrical system. The problem basically is that every car differs. When seeking to remove, replace or fix the wiring in a vehicle, having a precise and detailed wiring diagram is essential to the success of the repair job. Frequently, there can be a mechanic filled because of incorrect or obsolete wiring schematics which are provided by resources that were improper.
The best option is always to employ a verified and accurate wiring diagram that's supplied from a trusted source. An excellent, based company which has a long track record of supplying the most up-to-date wiring diagrams accessible is not hard to find. In reality, the solutions they provide are relatively inexpensive in comparison to what might occur if a poor schematic is used. Often, a hectic mechanic will not have enough time to confirm a wiring diagram's accuracy and might possibly proceed on a repair job with the incorrect data in hand. This could be an extremely expensive and reputation dangerous circumstance and can be prevented by simply placing your trust using a reliable and proven online resource for automotive repair information and diagrams. | 2019-04-23T14:00:41 | https://www.airspringsoftware.com/p/1549878464175194/ |

Discussion in 'iMac' started by SBacklin, Sep 18, 2013.
Did anyone else get a HUGE Time Machine backup after installing iTunes 11.1 today (9/13)?
I did on both my iMac and MBA and the next backups were 12-16GB.
Was it your iphone backup that made the difference?
It's not that. I'm not talking about the iPhone/iPad backup. I'm talking about the Time Machine backup of my Mac computers. I haven't added anything...photos, apps, music, videos, etc to either machine. After installing the new iTunes on both machines, the next Time Machine backup ranged from just over 12GB on my MBA and to almost 16GB on my iMac. The new iTunes was the only change.
Weird...I was just guessing that somehow the new itunes backed up your iphone automatically and you had alot of stuff it sent to a brand new folder. Itunes is like 300 mb or something right?
Yeah, definitely weird. I'm not sure what the size of iTunes is.
Have you checked the size of your iTunes library? I haven't updated yet, so I don't know. But, perhaps the upgrade touches a bunch of files in the library which would give you a lot of stuff to backup.
hmmm, maybe not. I've just upgraded and started backup and the backup's only 1.5 Gig which is a lot smaller than my whole iTunes library (or any part of it for that matter).
My music library is only around 6-7GB.
After I upgraded, my iPod touch went from being very nearly full on sync, to 1.5gb over (which is about the size of my backup). Quite a lot of that appeared to be due to a number of audio books being spontaneously checked. May have been coincidence, may have been something I did and forgot about, but it seems odd. | 2019-04-24T10:01:09 | https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/time-machine-backup-after-itunes-11-1-install.1638989/ |

Vancouver, British Columbia, March 26, 2019 – Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC, OTC: PACXF) (the “Company” or “Pacton”) is pleased to announce that the initial field work program at the Tardarinna Gold Project in Pilbara, Western Australia, has commenced.
Exploration is focused on high-grade, at surface, visible gold mineralization in the unusual “Tardarinna” metagabbro that contains a mineralized shear zone along 1 km of known strike. Prior work generated sample grades up to 328 g/t Au, obtained from a trench dug to a depth of 10m and a width of 1m, estimated to contain 400 t grading 66.8 g/t Au. (Source: Government of Western Australia, Minedex Site Code: S0024887.) Prior work also reports eluvial gold showings downslope from the prominent, resistive gold-bearing, stockworked Tardarinna metagabbro.
Large, high-grade identified gold target: Field work is focused on high-grade, shear hosted gold mineralization within a known 10-50 m wide shear zone extending for over 1 km.
Surface gold mineralization: Previous sampling has reported grades of up to 328 g/t Au from surface with visible gold.
Historical workings: Historical eluvial gold mining has occurred downslope of the prominent Tardarinna metagabbro.
Increased target size potential: The entire Tardarinna tenement contains the structurally intense “nose” of a distinct southeast plunging syncline that is dramatically outlined by folded Tardarinna metagabbro, most of which has not been explored.
Upcoming drill program: Mapping and rock chip sampling will be used to help define the extent of gold mineralization and to plan the initial drill program.
Prospecting & Logistics Assessment: Johnathon Campbell is leading a prospecting campaign across Pacton’s West Pilbara tenements to assess the near surface nuggety gold potential and also conducting a logistics assessment across Boodalyerrie, Yandicoogina and Tardarinna.
Pacton has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Tardarinna Gold Project in Pilbara, Western Australia (see news release dated March 1, 2019). The Company will acquire a 100% interest in the Project by issuing 1,250,000 common shares on closing of the transaction, subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Tardarinna Project is located approximately 125 km southwest of Port Hedland, 10 km southwest of Croydon Outcamp and 50 km southeast of Whim Creek, Western Australia (Figure 1).
Pacton’s Tardarinna project is located in an area that once hosted an old Archean terrane that was completely obliterated by granodiorite and granite intrusions. This old basement was covered with sedimentary rocks of the Mallina formation of the De Grey Group, mapped as varying from 2.5 km to 10 km thick. Subsequently, a gabbro sheet-like intrusion up to 700 m thick was intruded along the bedding plane of the Mallina formation near its base. The entire area was then subjected to two significant structural events, resulting in the development of synclines made obvious by the distinctive dark metamorphosed Tardarrina gabbro, which remains over 500 m thick in most places. (Figures 2 & 3). The Tardarrina area was then completely covered by Mount Roe volcaniclastic rocks, subjected to two more minor folding events, and the emplacement of the regional Powereena dolerite dyke. Erosion subsequently exposed the Tardarrina metagabbro, leaving relatively flat-lying Mount Roe formation cover in the south and west portions of Figure 2.
The known gold mineralization in the area, apart from eluvial showings, occurs in the spectacularly folded Tardarinna metagabbro. (Figures 2 & 3). The Tardarinna metagabbro is resistant, and its strike controlled ridges dominate the local topography. The nose of a southeast plunging anticline occurs within the tenement boundary and presents an outstanding exploration target. The Tardarinna metagabbro contains a complicated, dense stockwork of sheared quartz and calcite veins, with many orientations showing obvious gold transportation into the system. The metagabbro is rich in textures, ranging from fine-grained to large grained pegmatitic texture. Gold mineralization consists of free gold, and gold associated with minor amounts of iron, copper, lead and nickel mineralization.
Figure 2. Pacton’s Tardarinna Project (E 47/3745). Local geology showing multi-phase folding of metagabbro gold host rocks with spectacular large scale folding represented by alternating synclines and anticlines. The rocks between the fold arms, elluvial in nature at surface, are mapped as Mallina formation of the De Grey Group, and contain the injected Tardarinna metagabbro. The south and west portions of the area are overlain by the Mount Roe formation of basalt and volcaniclastic rocks. The Powereena dolerite dyke cuts all rocks and, except for erosion, represents the last geological event in the area.

The brand-new Temple Terrace Boys & Girls Club celebrated their grand opening on Monday, March 25, 2019. Structured around a community collaboration model, The City of Temple Terrace, Boys & Girls Club of Tampa Bay and Hillsborough Parks & Recreation are working together to bring new opportunities and learning facilities for the youth and families in Temple Terrace.
Established in the former site of the Temple Park Recreation Center at 7701 Temple Terrace Highway, the club’s main building features an innovation lab stocked with laptops and a learning center which holds over 3,000 books collected by the Mayor’s Youth Leadership Council. Surrounded by six acres of land, there is more than enough recreation space for the kids to play sports, including a soccer field and a basketball court that is in the works.
The 100 children and teens that are on their way to becoming members of the club are highly supported by the Temple Terrace Police Department, who will ensure a daily presence of a law enforcement mentors to create stronger community ties with local officers. Championed by Temple Terrace Police Chief Ken Albano and Temple Terrace Mayor Mel Jurado, they both made guest appearances to promote the opening and vouch for their dedication to make the club a success for the community.
The main donor, the Sam & Laurice Hachem Foundation, along with other generous benefactors, have invested in this program to enable the youth involved to stay on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, learn to demonstrate good character and citizenship, as well as living a healthy lifestyle. The after school and summer programs, such as “Power Hour,” prevention lessons, STEM and art curriculums, will be sustained through partnerships with outside organizations, local schools and the police department, that will represent various demographics and build relationships to teach the members life skills.
Attendees tasting Kid’s Kitchen plates.
Tampa Bay Farm2School Kid’s Kitchen team supported the event by catering plant-based dishes for the 100 event attendees including local elected officials, community volunteer leaders, donors, business owners, religious leaders and others who help support the center. Serving up crunchy cucumber sandwich bites and vegetarian burrito bowls, the dishes prepared by the Kids’ Kitchen team were a hit with everyone and even surprised some with the all natural, plant-based recipes.

A calm Tuesday in the Midwest. My kind of day, that's for sure.
Well, calm for me anyway. Seems the boys at my school were riled up and no one knew why. So many were making such poor choices and I don't even think they could verbalize why.
I wonder if that is the problem with so many folks who are unwise with money. Can they verbalize why?
It is interesting hearing this one couple justify buying a new vehicle last week. Both felt they had to buy a new vehicle because the youngest will be driving next year. She said that they got a great deal and $3,000 cash back which just about made up for what they owed on the other one?!?
Their family isn't the only one I knew who trades vehicles while still owing money. It's one thing if you have an accident and you owed money and had to replace the car, but to go out and buy another when you didn't have the original one paid off.
I'm not nosy enough to ask, but I wonder how many cars these folks never paid off and rolled over. Maybe I really don't want to know.
Rolling over debt from one car to the next is a great way to big a very deep hole of debt.
The old balance is rolled over to the new balance, which when traded in is rolled over to the new vehicle...and the cycle begins!
When I was growing up, my father traded in just about every year. Oh, did I mention, we were dirt poor? But we always had a new car. | 2019-04-22T02:21:30 | https://frugalfoodie.savingadvice.com/2012/12/04/tuesday-topic_99324/ |

The Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant message to us (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). The Bible gives us direction (Psalm 119:105), shows us right and wrong (Psalm 119:11), and shows us the truth about ourselves (Hebrews 4:12).
God is the self-existent, infinite, holy, personal Creator of the universe. God has always existed, and He created the universe by the power of His Word (Hebrews 11:3). There is only one true God (Isaiah 45:5). In the unity of the Godhead there are three persons of one substance— the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit— with distinct personalities (Genesis 1:1, 26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19-20; John 4:24; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
Jesus is God’s only Son (John 3:16), yet completely God and one with the Father (John 10:30). We believe in Jesus’ pre-existence (John 1:1), incarnation (John 1:1-14), his virgin birth (Matthew 1:23-25), his sinless life (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and after three days rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 3:23-25; Acts 2:24-27). After forty days Jesus ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9-11), where He is at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 1:3), pleading to God on our behalf (1 John 2:1). Jesus is the Mediator between God and humankind (1 Timothy 2:5), having been sent by God to earth to die for us and forgive our sins (John 1:29).
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead, who has always existed with God the Father and Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit baptizes every believer into the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13), indwells, seals, gives each of us spiritual gifts, and empowers us to bear spiritual fruit when we give Him control of our lives (Matthews 28:19; John 3:3-7; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 6:19; Galatians 5:22-23). The Holy Spirit is our guarantee that Jesus Christ is coming back for His church (2 Corinthians 1:21-22).
God created humans in His image (Genesis 1:26,27) with an eternal soul (Matthew 10:28). Our chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Yet the entire human race falls short of God’s perfect standard because of sin (Romans 3:23). Our sin leads to death, but God has given us eternal life through Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23).
We are saved from our sins and death by believing in the person and work of Jesus Christ (John 3:16). There’s nothing we can do to earn our salvation; it is God’s gracious gift to us (Acts 4:12; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8,9).
There is a very real spirit world, made up of God’s messengers, called angels, and God’s enemies, Satan and his demons (Ephesians 6:12). Satan is also the enemy of the believer (1 Peter 5:8), and he blinds the mind of the unbeliever (2 Corinthians 4:4). Satan and his allies are ultimately doomed to defeat (Revelation 12:7-12; 20:10).
The church is the universal body of Christ, comprised of all believers everywhere. The church exists so that we can worship God (Ephesians 5:16-19), serve one another (Ephesians 4:12), and share our faith (Mark 16:15). We believe that the ordinances of the local church are two in number: water baptism (a public identification of the believer with Christ), and the Lord’s supper (a memorial of the atoning death of Christ until He comes) (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:41; Luke 22:14-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-24).
God has a plan for the future, which includes the end of the world as we know it and the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. The focal point of God’s future plan is the Second Coming of Christ when Jesus will bodily return from heaven (Titus 2:13). Judgment and eternal life in hell await the unbeliever (Revelation 20:15). All those who have believed in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in heaven, which Jesus is preparing for us (John 14:1-3).
SDM, in community with evangelists, missionaries, mission leaders, theologians, pastors, and national church leaders from nearly 200 nations, endorses the Lausanne Covenant first drafted by the Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1974. This biblically-based covenant emphasizes the whole church taking the whole gospel to the whole world.

ControlTrends is Taking the Smart Buildings Podcasting Network to the Next Level! The Power of the Spoken Word is Taking over Social Media’s Center Stage!
The power of the spoken word is taking over Social Media's center stage!
While traveling to Orlando, FL to scout out the location for the 2019 ControlTrends Awards event, Eric had the opportunity to attend the PODFEST EXPO 2019 and mix with some of the brightest podcasters and companies in the world.
The PODFEST EXPO is a community of people who are interested in and passionate about sharing their voice and message with the world through the powerful mediums of audio and video. We’re proud to unite as many people as possible to learn, get inspired, and grow better together.
Eric Stromquist: Eric Stromquist here with the man, the myth, the legend, Kenny Smyers. Kenny, we’re not in Kansas anymore. Tell our community where we are. We’re in Orlando, Florida. We’re sending in front of the BB King Blues Club and we have found ourselves a location for the 2018 ControlTrends Awards we have. And in case you don’t know that Sunday night is Super Bowl Sunday. So if you want to come to the biggest Super bowl party in Orlando, reach out to your sponsors and say, “hey, we want to be there with Ken and Eric ” We’ve got the BB King space booked and we will have The ControlTrends Awards starting about two hours earlier,. so after the Awards you can just chill out and watch the game with all your rowdy friends.
Ken Smyers: Here’s our favorite team and we go right there. So it’d be a lot more on that. And for our sponsors out there, Kenny not putting together a special discounted sponsorship package if you sponsor early.
Eric Stromquist: So if you need more information. reach out to me or Ken and check itt out. And Kenny, We’ have been working on the show this week. And also as you know, we’ve been working on the ControlTrends Podcast Network. And as such, I’ve been down here at PodFest 2019, learning from the best people in podcasting, all about how to create these networks? Had about make the podcast better about how to get more engagement. So we’re going to be able to offer that to our community. So listen to, I typically spend, the next little segment is me getting interviewed by Travis Albritton at Podfest. So take a listen to this.
Travis: Well Eric, wonderful to sit down with you here at PodFest 2019 and the buzz sprout recording studio. How’s it been so far?
Eric Stromquist: it’s an amazing, amazing program. I’ve learned so much here and have a, been a big believer in podcasts and all along, but there was so much that didn’t know that I didn’t know and now I’m even more convinced, Travis, that he got to have a podcast to connect to your audience.
Travis: Now tell me a little bit about how you first started in podcasting. Like how long ago was that? What was the original idea? And then, and then like what have you been producing over the last several years?
Eric Stromquist: Cool, great question. So it kind of goes back where we’re one of the Honeywell and Johnson controls largest distributors where master systems, systems integrator, HVC controls distributor with no about $3 million worth of inventory in our Atlanta a warehouse. And about the time that Seo kept coming up, I wouldn’t, you know, Google, and this goes back here about 10 or 15 years ago, I would type in Honeywell controls Atlanta. We would not show up anywhere in the search of man, this is not what’s going on inside. I asked, somebody said, you know this Internet thing, why aren’t we showing up? I said, well, you got to do SEO like a, what the heck is Seo?
Eric Stromquist: So and how do you get it? So they explained that a little bit and then he was kind of like, uh, I started a control, the control terms.com website. Okay. Which was became a blog and said, we got to start a blog. Well, I don’t like to write much. And then I started doing video casts and the not the podcasting sort of came out of that. I had a number of distributor buddy of mine who was an artist as well. And he and I got together and we created this show call control talk. Now the smart buildings videocast and podcasts, which we do every week. And from that we began to see the SEO. But more importantly I sorta realized just how critical this was. So you know, one thing for our audience out there, if you’re listening on control talk plan is that, you know, if you know me, you know, hadn’t been so lucky in love.
Eric Stromquist: So my wife, is younger and I noticed that she, if she was going to buy a product, she would never go to that website. She would always go to third party reviews, right? So in our industry it was pretty much if you buy a Honeywell control, you go to the Honeywell website, you buy Belimo you go to the website. But this younger generationt hat is coming in. They don’t want to do that. They want to of that third party verification. So we sort of filled that niche has sort of filled that out. So we do a lot of interviews with industry experts. We have all kinds of, training videos, product reviews and things like that. One of things we have learned Travis is that, you know, we, we did a video cast and we also did the product cost. It’s about 10 to one podcast consumers to video consumers.
Eric Stromquist: So if we get 200 views on, on a weekly show on the video side on youtube. Then , we would be getting about 2000 downloads. So, I’m on a mission now now, I think everybody in the HVAC and Smart Buildings industry should have a podcast. We have created what we call the ControlTrends Podcast Network and we’re going to offer a service to help companies in the HVAC and Smart Building Controls Space a way to start up and promote a podcast. And we will be working with your company, which we think has the perfect platform for helping us host it. We’ll actually produce the podcast. You get to do the easy part. You know, you record your audio, you send it to us, we’ll EQ the sound we’ll create a cool opener and outrro for your show and make sure it gets on all the relevant sites like IItunes Spreaker radio and Himalaya the whole nine yards.
Travis: Now tell me a little bit more about your vision for this network because it is one thing to have your own podcast and to have that be successful, but then to replicate that success for other people.
Travis: Tell me a little bit about why this is so important to you from a personal standpoint and not just a professional standpoint.
Eric Stromquist: Well, it kind of dumb luck. I mean I fell into this at sort of the right time I was and I sort of had the first mover advantage. So right now in our industry, we are really one of the only third party independent resource. You can have a, we’re one of the biggest this niche. So it’s important to me because I really care about our industry. And obviously if Honeywell, for example, is one of my primary companies that I represent, so if they do better than I do, better cause it, people in buy those products to me. Same with Johnson controls, Belimo, Siemens, all the majors, none of them right now or in the, in the podcast arena. I know the power of it because I’ve seen what it’s done for our business and I know how people consume it.
Eric Stromquist: So, um, I think it’s good for the industry as a whole. And I, you know, I’m passionate about making sure that, uh, that the people in our industry get this. Now we have the platform because of first mover advantage. So not only can we produce the podcast and then we can promote it on the controltrends.com site, we can promote it. So we have the ability to not only produce them but to promote them and that is a winning formula.
Travis: Well, and what’s really cool, and I don’t even know if you kind of have picked up on this, but you know, everything that you were just talking about comes from an abundance business mindset of how do we just help all of us do better together, which is, it’s really important to have that. Cause I know a lot of business owners that are like, no, no, no, I’m just going to try and hoard everything that I can maintain my competitive advantage.
Travis: Try and, you know, push my competitors aside. But you’re really coming at this from another perspective, which is how do we all help each other? Right? You know, and how do we share our resources and our expertise to help you knowing that, you know, it’s just the right thing to do and it’s going to help our bottom line as well.
Eric Stromquist: What’s, what’s interesting and, we’ve shifted, I mean obviously when we talk about network and we talk about the Internet, we are now in the network economy and it’s a completely different set of rules than it was in the scarcity economy. It used to be when I first got in the business, it was if you had information, you hoarded that because that was your differentiator. Now with the Internet, there are no secrets, right? So in the network economy givers get right, so you’d be the one that is giving and the network economy, if you’re going to succeed, you have to think not about how we’re going to slice the pie are up, but how we’re going to make the pie bigger.
Eric Stromquist: Okay? Just a completely different mindset and is totally counterintuitive to people. My generation that grew up with who you know, your guardians, your secrets with your life. He kicked your competitors and then blah, Blah Blah and he did what it took. One of the terms that we talk a lot about on ControlTalk Now The Smart Buildings Video Cast and Podcast is something called Co competition and, that means that you and I might be competing today and we might be working together tomorrow and then we’re going to compete again. So sort of what you trade on now, it’s not so much your knowledge now you trade on your integrity because we’re going to work together on a project and you step out of bounds that I’m never going to work with you again. And bottom line, you can’t do this alone. You can’t be the 800 pound gorilla and be successful.
Eric Stromquist: You’re going to have to work with other people. It’s just a different set of rules and your integrity’s most important thing.
Travis: there’s not necessarily a direct correlation of you know, this person listen to my podcast and they reached out to my sales rep and then we close this contract. Like that’s not really what podcasting is for. And so it’s not necessarily a direct link to growing your business, but on a larger scale, getting more and more people into your ecosystem, aware of your brand, aware of what you offer, and then establishing a human connection with them so that when they are in a position that they do need what you have, you become the only thing that they consider. Have you, have you found that to be true for you guys?
Eric Stromquist: Well I think so. And what I would say to the business owners is, is it shifted a little bit cause you know, if you’re in business, you most likely, unless your retail store have outside salespeople that are going on and calling on people. Okay. And when I first got in the business and our particular niche, that was great because you had bloated maintenance staffs and they would much rather talk to a salesman. He’s playing a donuts and then work well that’s all changed. You know, the, the maintenance staffs of trimmed down so people don’t have time to talk anymore unless they have a problem.. Okay? So you have to be able to get their attention and you better not waste their time. So my biggest expense is my outside salespeople making cold calls, trying to find new business.. You have to have them.
Eric Stromquist: When we have a hot lead, we send them out. Okay. So what I would take your business owners is that you have to be able to be found that needs to be part of your marketing strategy. And podcasting is a great way to be found. Give you a quick example. In our business, you know, there’s a plant in Augusta, Georgia that we’d been trying for five years to get into, right? And you know the now, now that know there’s not a receptionist, they don’t tell you who you need to see this basically a guard if you don’t know who you need to see, he’s not going to tell you he needed to see. But yes, a big potential customer, we knew there was potential in there. So we spent years trying to figure this out. I get a call one Monday morning it is the plant engineer at this particular facility going, our corporate engineering in New Jersey watches your show every week. They saw you do a review on this particular product. They’ve already approved it, they want to buy it from you. Can you come over and tell us what we need? But that doesn’t happen much. Okay. This is like an $80,000 sale, right? Doesn’t happen often. But you know, I’m invested in an hour or two a week and doing this. So you, part of your strategy has to be, how can it be found? Podcasting is a great way to do that.
Travis: And how is that, uh, just thinking about how when you first started trying to get you discovered, I need to be found, I need to be available, people need to be able to come and find me. So I’m not knocking down every single cold call that I can. Um, what have you noticed is the difference between the blog that you started initially and podcasting, whether that’s, you know, impact to your bottom line or even just you personally enjoying the process?
Eric Stromquist: While I do love the process and anybody that knows me knows that I like to talk, I mean, you’re probably getting there. It’s a good problem to have as a podcast here.
Eric Stromquist: It’s a good problem to have as a podcaster, I think it’s changed. Again, I think that we’re not, none of us are getting more, more time, right? So if you can have a message that’s easy to concern, um, we’ll put, can listen to it. Podcasting tends to work because they can listen to the podcast when that, when that, when they’re working out, they can listen to it by the riding to work and so on and so forth. So sort of embedded in that question, which would it be along the lines of, I have a podcast guest come on, like let’s say somebody from one of the vendors are represented by the product and say, look, here’s the formula. Don’t talk about the product right away and don’t push, don’t be, don’t be pushy. Like you’re trying to sell something. This, identify the problem that people are having and we can talk about the problem of why it’s a problem and then you can talk about how, you know, one of your solutions, this is how we would do it.
Eric Stromquist: And then it’s up to me as the podcast. So it was to go, no, that makes a lot of sense. So, um, that creates value all the way around because people want to understand the problem. If you just start talking about a product man, hook off, let’s go, let’s go listen to Joe Rogan and stat. Right, right.
Travis: And have you, uh, been strategic in the people that you bring on, either reaching out to people that you want to establish a connection with business wise and say, Hey, I’d love to have you on my podcast knowing that we’re going to have a nice conversation at the end of it. We’re going to have a working relationship potentially. Like have you, have you used any of those kinds of strategies are not fine?
Eric Stromquist: Not yet. That’s part of what I’ve learned here. I mean, getting guest, you know, oddly enough, I had one guy come in as a part of my premises.
Eric Stromquist: I don’t handle all the product lines. Okay. But, but the premise of controltrends.com is if you’re in the industry and have something positive to contribute and say you get equal airtime with somebody that I actually get paid by. Okay. So I had a, uh, you know, a, a competitor come in and this guy sat down, we did an interview, he got 108 leads from one 30 minute interview. Right? It didn’t help me at all. It was great for him. But here’s what’s odd and this is again, maybe it’s a function of the fact that a lot of the people in my industry are kind of older is it’s like pulling teeth to get anybody to come on the show and it’s difficult to get the guest. And again, we’re missing out. And again that’s why I’m getting back to the ControlTrends Podcasting Network.
Eric Stromquist: But it’s difficult for me to even get guests within our industry to come on on a regular basis. And I get that everbodies busy, but, if they knew the payoff, they should be lining up well.
Travis: And the more that success that you do have and the more success that you can say, look at these people that came on and this is what they thought of their experience and how it helped them. You know it, it is a process. You know it, it’s not something that you just turn a switch and then all of a sudden you have people knocking down your door trying to come on your podcast.
Eric Stromquist: you can on your schedule, listen and get informed because if you’re not informed me not to be able to take advantage of the changes that are coming. Absolutely. Now when we were chatting before this, this, we started doing this interview, you mentioned a second podcast. Tell me a little bit about that one. So the second one is a friend of mine, he’s actually a trainer, a martial artist and he’s made them work with over the years named Paul Lewis and the second podcast, it’s called the Zen brothers podcast. And, uh, what we do is we’re basically interview as we call them everyday and talk conversations with everyday masters. And sort of the theory with that is that yeah, I’m a, I’m a big podcast listener. I can all listen to, I’ll listen to Joe Rogan, I’ll listen to Tony Robbins, I listen to all those Tim Ferris and all those guys and they’re great, but they’re not necessarily where label, you know, I kinda sometimes come away going, yeah, it’s easy for Tony to do that cause he’s got a staff and that’s all he does full time.
Eric Stromquist: But you know, I got three, you two small kids or wife a business and all this other stuff. But whoops, what did discover with everyday master Travis? Is it, uh, we all have something we’re good at, we’re masters at. And so for me it’s, that is totally a labor of love. And what I love about that is, you know, we’ll start off, but you know, it’s kind of a longer format. And I know we’ve done our job right is if at the end of the podcast where we’re all kind of going, oh my gosh, we learned something together that none of us knew. Just through the dialogue and the conversation will, and it’s so cool to, to learn from other people’s experiences. Like that’s one of the reasons I really love reading books is somebody is lived out in experience or gained wisdom or knowledge and they put it in a form that I can consume in a few hours and essentially steal years of experience from them.
Travis: Yeah. And so, but typically you only think about like quote unquote experts, people that are widely recognized or are well known or famous as being worthy of learning from. But it’s so true that all of us have our own unique experiences that have made us the people that we are and really contributed to who he developed into. And by being able to uncover those diamonds in the rough. Yeah, really being able to, to not only just display the expertise that your guests have, but also to instill confidence in the people that are listening. Right. That if that person has an expertise in something they can offer, maybe I do too. Yeah. Awesome. Well, tell me about you. How did you get into podcasting? So I got into podcasting because I was really experimenting with different ways of sharing a message I was passionate about. So I was trying to do, develop an online, uh, Christian teaching ministry.
Travis: Um, and I was just trying to find different ways to connect with people that I had never met before. Right. Cause you have your inner circle of friends, you know, the people that are kind of loosely affiliated with you, your Facebook friends list or whatever. Um, but, but I was really, uh, trying to figure out how can I make this freely available to anyone who would want to listen. And I looked at starting video and doing a youtube channel or something like that. But it’s a lot to get invested in, like getting all the gear that you need and learning all the skills. Like editing a video is times harder than editing a podcast. Oh yeah. Because you have to be concerned with lighting. Like, I have to actually comb my hair in the morning. Like, you know, I can’t, I can’t just roll out of bed in my pj’s and then flip a microphone on.
Travis: And so for me, cause I was also still working a nine to five job. I had a family, you know, I had other things that I was, I was invested in and hobbies and things that I was doing. And so I didn’t have 20, 30 hours to devote to creating content. So I needed something I could be efficient at, but that would still be able to allow me to have the impact that I wanted to have. And so that’s, that’s kind of how I fell into podcasting, how I discovered podcasting in a sense. And so, and so I actually tried one kind of podcast. It was very ambitious. Uh, you know, I think I was definitely biting off more than I could chew, uh, first off, but I learned a lot of lessons. And then, uh, the second podcast and the third podcast both did better.
Travis: Um, and so what I really love about the podcasting and though is because when you first start, nobody listens. You can make all the mistakes that you want and learn and, and you’re not as self conscious about it. Right? Right. And nobody’s going to remember those podcast anyway. Right, right. And so, so I loved that. I loved that I could kind of learn on the fly, but still continue to, to put out those episodes knowing that I was going to get better over time. And I just fell in love with it. I fell in love with the, the interaction I would have with people that listened, people riding in, emailing me, sending me messages, telling me the impact that my podcasts was having on them personally. And these are people I’ve never met before, eyes. And so to know that I would create an episode offering some kind of wisdom or insight, and then someone on the other side of the country, on the other side of the world, their life is made better because of that.
Travis: And its, there’s, there’s no, there’s no friction. There’s no, there’s no sales in between. It’s absolutely free. Just get to, to develop a relationship. Like that is so, so cool. So completely agree. Well, listen to your podcast. So, so my main podcast, my personal podcast is called the practical Christian podcast tonight. And so I will interview, uh, people that have an expertise that maybe I don’t, um, to be able to share practical tips to help people just become more effective and in living out their faith on a daily basis. And then I’ll also do short strategy episodes, so like six to 10 minutes. Like, here’s one thing you can implement very quickly, very easily to work on your own, uh, you know, kind of effectiveness.
Eric Stromquist: That’s awesome. Well, listen, we’d love to have you come on, the zen brothers podcasts and, I think you’d be a great guest on that. And, and part of, you know, is kind of like an, Oh, Paul’s lived and the, you know, the, uh, the far east for a long time. So he’s very martial arts paste and stuff like that. So it’s Kinda like, you know, part of it is east versus West principles. So Christianity definitely fits into that. And, you know, and the people have different ways, but at the end of the day, it’s about coming away with like you say, a couple of nuggets where you go, oh, I can think about this or I could try this or I could do this. It’s giving people more possibilities.
Travis: Yeah, it does. So, so podcasting has been really a passion for me for the last two years has just continued to grow. And then last year I had an opportunity to start working for Buzzsprout, which is a, you know, a podcast hosting company. We help podcasters all over the world who snob Nabo official podcasting host to control trend podcast network, which we’re very excited about that. Um, and, but I was able to come on and essentially teach other podcasts, use the skills that I had learned through my own experience. And so, so in a way, become like an everyday expert and say, okay, these are the things that I tried that didn’t work. These were the things that I tried that did work. Um, and really just dive into, you know, really without any kind of expectation or trying to get people to sign up or anything.
Travis: Just give freely all the information, all of my best wisdom that I’ve acquired just to help people, just to help people be successful. Because, you know, a rising seat lifts all ships, right? Well, I mean I can say the word, the network economy and the number one principle, the network economy was givers get go first. So, uh, so I just got to ask them. So if we brought the dead that, uh, cause I know again, I’m trying to get my community to start their own podcast. Uh, uh, what would you say to somebody that hasn’t done a podcast is maybe thinking about it and what do you see some mistakes people make they give for when you first get started? So I think the number one mistake that people make when they first get started is they think it has to be this massive success for it to be worth it.
Travis: Right? And they measure success in, in terms that aren’t really realistic, whether that’s millions of people downloading your episodes or quitting your nine to five job after a month of podcasting. Like you kind of create these false senses of what success looks like. But so what I really try and stress with people that are first getting started is that’s a lot of pressure to put on yourself. That’s not necessary, right? Right. And if you’re just starting out on your own and you’re not paying a staff of people to edit each of your episodes and paying for promotion and things like that, you don’t have to make money for it to be a successful podcast, right? That if you can create a podcast about something that you already love, that you would already talk about for free, and now have an opportunity to have that conversation with other people.
Travis: And that’s just a win, win all around. And so I really try and reorient people that are first starting out to not think about the money aspect of it, to not think about the number of people that listen, but really to focus on the depth of the impact. So for a business, it’s doesn’t have a podcast, what, why should they do it? And we’ll, we’ll sort of outdated some of the head ones, dumb, which with some of these people, but from your perspective, what have you heard from businesses when you guys should do a podcast? So I think the, the businesses that really need to focus on podcasting or content creation in general is those that are in a commodity market, right? Where it’s what, what flavor of toothpaste do you sell, right? It’s you go to the shelf and it’s, you make a decision based on the packaging, right?
Travis: And so if you’re in a commodity market where you don’t have a huge differentiation between you and your competitors, brand is what sets you apart. Yeah. Right. Creating going that extra mile. Well and having that human connection, but, but, but to me your brand becomes your personality almost, right? Because you, again, all things being equal in a commodity market, they go, oh yeah, I’ll listen to Travis as podcast, I’ll pay a few more cents for this. Right? So your brand really becomes your personality. I think companies have to have a phase that, that people can resonate with. And what it does is it protects you from the race to the bottom, right? So down in the rock here. So if you’re in a commodities business and you’re just trying to undercut your competitor by 1% 2% and then they come back and undercut you 1% 2% then everyone loses, right?
Travis: But if you can position yourself as a quality product that meets a very specific need or customers that recognize their need and you also have a brand so they feel like they have a connection to you right then, then the price no longer is a part of the equation. Is, is the differentiator. You know?
Eric Stromquist: And, and really and truly, I mean, you know, the business books I’ve read about now is, is like for example, some when these major corporations to the number one guy there, they’re hiring masters of fine art because you can’t make some of this stuff less expensively. You’ve, you, you know, if you don’t have a great product to competitively priced or not even in the conversation, hugs the true across all businesses. If you don’t have great tech support, you’re not even in the business or what is the differentiator? And that’s why, you know, GE, people like this or higher masters to fine arts or poets to try to get that sort of vibe like an iPhone has or something.
Eric Stromquist: Right? And, and I think individual businesses have the opportunity to do that through social media. But you know, what I’ve learnt here at Travis is most people were dismissing it. They’re doing it wrong. So, uh, so we’re, we’re, what I’m coming back to, the number one pushback I get is, yeah, you know, it has to be perfect. No, your first three or four podcasts or Ghana sock are, but nobody’s going to go back and listen to episode one or two or three. And then sometimes I’d go back and like go, holy smokes, what were we thinking? Right. But uh, but the, but the other thing is, you know, it’s like, unless you just got to get started, you’ll get better as time goes on. But to not have a podcast as part of your social media program I think is, is, is a big error.
Travis: Yeah. And I just want to say one more thing just kind of on this, this topic of creating a brand and developing a relationship with people that haven’t even become your customers yet. Uh, specifically when it comes to pricing, right? That all at pricing is as a story. It’s a story of what you’re communicating value eyes and a story that the customer is coming into, right? That the reason people spend more on a Mac book versus a windows computer, that that costs less than has the same specs is the story. Not just the story from Macintosh apple where they’re telling you about, you know, how it’s going to set you apart, make you, you know, unique. But then the story you tell yourself that I identify with apple as a brand and I want to communicate that with my purchases. And even though it’s a little bit more, even though it costs a bit more for maybe the same kind of computer, the story that I’m telling myself makes me feel better. And so when you can have that kind of a story, branded relationship with your customers, they don’t mind paying more for your product because they believe in the value that you’re offering. And then you don’t have to worry about the price. Travis, you are not going to get a bumper sticker because I think we need to write a book together. It’s called people will buy products, they buy stories.

Published in Linkedin on September 27, 2018. Commercial real estate operators and building owners are adapting to the change in building automation technology that is occurring in the industry. Innovation has reshaped how we manage, operate and interact with our buildings and facilities. Connected systems, data and analytics is broadening our conversation in the world of smart buildings — engaging not only facility operators in the discussion, but the C-Suite as well.
Today, most have embraced the fact that technology is the game changer and is the cornerstone of operating buildings as an economic model. As the technology surrounding engineering design and energy management systems have evolved, so has the dialogue around smart buildings. Driven by digital transformation and a change in value propositions; changes in the role of facilities are shifting to create healthy, safe and productive environments.
A few years ago, the dialogue focused on energy, efficiency and lower operating costs.
So, what about now? What is the dialogue and conversations that are making their presence felt within our buildings and workplaces? How has it changed?
The following is a then vs. now comparison outlining how the dialogue has changed. While I am sure additional items may be added, this presents some of the important evolution that has occurred in the industry. Click here to see complete list!
As the landscape for smart buildings has evolved, so has the speak.
The dialogue today is no longer about the potential — rather it is about the reality of economics through driving operational value and business outcomes. The business of smart commercial buildings and facilities is moving beyond fear of the unknown and into a new era of empowerment.
Elon Musk on AI and the Future: How will this Change Smart Buildings?
In a rare podcast interview Elon Musk, joins Joe Rogan (one of my favs) among other things they discuss the future of AI and how it will effect everything and everyone (yes, Ken Sinclair, even Smart Buildings).
This is intriguing, scary, thought-provoking, and controversial. This is when Elon Musk allegedly smokes pot during the interview and sends Tesla stock tumbling.
Caution: please beware there is lot of bad language and behavior in this video, but it’s worth it in my humble opinion.

IntesisBox offers a wide range of products to facilitate communication between different protocols. Based on the most used standard protocols, such as BACnet, EnOcean, KNX, LonWorks, Modbus, DALI, MBUS and many more, IntesisBox helps you integrate most of the devices currently in the market related with Home and Building automation.
Multi-protocol integration may be required in many different scenarios. From very large installations, to small projects the variety of nowadays technologies require multiprotocol integrations at all scales. Thanks to multi-protocol converters, different devices can coexist in a single management system, such as SCADA, BMS or Central Controller solutions.
Protocols are not identical, its features and design make each stand out in some applications or scenarios. For example, KNX may be clear option for homes, hotels and offices, while on the other hand BACnet or Modbus are more related to public buildings such as hospitals, airports.
IntesisBox is one of the most specialized multi-protocol gateways manufacturer. It offers a wide range of products to combine protocols for complex, functional and accurate installations. IntesisBox works and combines the following protocols: ASCII, BACnet, DALI, EnOcean, FIDELIO, KNX, LonWorks, Modbus and WiFi.
All these systems need to talk to the central controller (BMS or SCADA) which is usually only capable of talking one single protocol, while the other elements talk its own one (even if it standard).
Smart homes: Multi-protocol solutions are not just located in large facilities. A residential project, like a smart home may require a multi-protocol solution. Think of any window contact, blind actuator, light control, climate control… Again, all these devices usually use their own proprietary protocol or a standard one and in order to get them all together in your control system, you will need a multi-protocol converter to match all of them.

In May, 2009, a beautiful message to the Himalayan community was conveyed by Kai, the 6¾ year-old child of Swamiji's dear students, Jon and Veena.
“Your Teacher is always in your heart.
You don’t need to write to Him.
You don’t need to see Him.
You don’t need to be by Him.
You don’t need to touch Him.
Your Teacher is always in your heart.
Your Teachers is always by you…even if He is on the moon.
Always, right by you, in your heart.
"It was something to be there to witness," Veena said. "There was a Karate class going on at the time – sweaty men working out hard, very focused, lots of noise. Then Kai was moved to the cushion, his posture established itself, the mudra formed, and then these words formed in slow motion from his lips. There was all of this…and then there was the energy behind the words . . . the feel in the space . . . that was really quite something. I felt something was charged to me, that is, I was instructed to capture it . . . so paper and pen moved near me. There was such energy to it that later when I met with the Karate master, he said he felt it, too – and I know this is true because, despite the activity of the Karate room on the other side of the glass, I had seen that the Karate Master had looked over and watched him as the poem flowed from him – from Her through him."
Jon was initiated by Swami Veda in India, and Veena was initiated by Swami Veda in 1986 and stayed with Swami Rama for several months in 1987 at the Himalayan Institute when Swamiji was having regular Kirtans. She completed teacher training in 1988 with the Minneapolis Teacher Training Graduates. The family has traveled to SRSG several times recently, and their service to the Himalayan Yoga Tradition over the past several years has been considerable.
Such revelations from their son are quite common. Veena said, "This is how life has always been with him, even from conception." In the course of a week many such insights come from him "out of the blue."
As we deepen our sadhanas, may we all come to know where that Place is and enter It as effortlessly as a child. | 2019-04-26T11:38:41 | https://bindu.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=157:your-teacher-is-in-your-heart&catid=8&Itemid=126 |
In Manila, the almost-four-decade career of Godofredo M. Roperos, 88, covered assignments in reporting, magazine editing, and literary writing. It was interrupted by his work with the government as assistant to the press secretary, then later as media affairs officer in Cebu. After martial law, he resumed his liaison with writing, as editor of a local newspaper’s weekly magazine and, later, as opinion columnist. GMR is listed with 13 others in the CJJ Media Gallery at Museo Sugbo as “Cebu journalists who shine,” having won national recognition in the field.
GODOFREDO M. Roperos died 10 a.m., Monday, Jan. 28, 2019, following a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Eldest daughter Maria Fe said the veteran writer passed away at the Chong Hua Hospital Mandaue, where he was brought 19 days earlier.
Internment will be on Feb. 2, Saturday, at the Manila Memorial Park in Liloan, Cebu, following a 1 p.m. requiem mass at the San Fernando Rey Parish.
He spoke truth to power as a newspaper columnist and radio commentator. But in a reversal of roles, Remonde defended power as press secretary to then president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who, to some observers, was the most unpopular president after Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Before his death, Remonde was frustrated that his former colleagues did not believe in the government whose messages he communicated.
LOCAL journalists who weren’t yet walking the beat in 2010 won’t know or, more likely, will only ‘know of’ Cerge Mamites Remonde, born Glecerio on Dec. 21, 1958 in Lamacan, Argao, Cebu.
Working the search engine will lead to two categories of stories.
The first involves journalism: he was a veteran broadcaster and columnist, he co-founded the original Sugbuanong Komentaristang Nagpakabana, he became six-time national chairman of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), etc.
The second, his later work in government: he was press undersecretary and later press secretary, he was boss to all government media, he was the longest-sitting member of the Arroyo cabinet, etc.
A week after suffering from a brain hemorrhage indicating an aneurysm, Olga Marie “Gingging” A. Campaña, news editor of SunStar Cebu, died on January 18, 2018. She was 46. | 2019-04-18T21:22:17 | https://www.cebujournalism.org/category/in-memoriam/ |

Born: 7 December 1885, Plymouth, United Kingdom.
Died: 13 September 1966, Durban, South Africa.
James Henry Neal, mechanical and civil engineer, was educated at the Davenport High School and Stoke Public School. After serving a six year apprenticeship at the Royal Dockyard, Devonport, he was awarded the Whitworth exhibition and scholarship to study at the Royal College of Science (part of the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London) and became an associate of the college in 1910. After some time as a lecturer at the Technical Day School in Birmingham he was awarded a research scholarship at the National Physical Laboratory, where he was involved in research on aircraft propellers. He also took part in tests of aircraft engines at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough and was appointed head of the Engineering Department of the Doncaster Technical College.
Neal came to South Africa in 1914 to teach engineering at the Durban Technical Institute (in 1915 renamed the Durban Technical College). Among others he trained soldiers returning from World War I (1914-1918) in parts of mechanical engineering. His engineering work was of such a high standard that in 1922, when the college became the Natal Technical College, engineering was taken over by the Natal University College and he became the first professor of mechanical and civil engineering on the Durban staff of this college (which in 1950 became the University of Natal). He designed and equipped new laboratories for mechanical and civil engineering, work which occupied him to 1931. From 1944 he was professor of mechanical engineering only, a post he held until his retirement in 1950. During World War II (1939-1945) he joined the South African Air Force and trained students in Air Force mechanics at Howard College. He contributed a memorandum on engineering to a book by E.H. Jones, Developments in education with special reference to technical education (1920), and wrote many technical papers.
Neal served as dean of the Faculty of Engineering of Natal University College from 1933 to 1949 and of its successor, the University of Natal, to his retirement in 1950. He was also a member of the council of the Natal Technical College until just before his death. With Dr E P Reim he organised the formation of the Durban branch of the Engineers' Association of South Africa in 1947 and served as its first chairman. He was a foundation member and at some time president of the Natal Institute of Engineers, a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society, and a member of the (British) Institution of Mechanical Engineers. In 1962 the University of Natal awarded him the honorary degree Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering.
Neal was married to Mary Townson, with whom he had two daughters.

AQUINNAH, Mass. (AP) -- A historic Martha's Vineyard lighthouse has arrived at its new location after a painstaking 135-foot move from the edge of an eroding cliff.
Richard Pomroy, manager of the relocation project, says the 160-year-old Gay Head Light landed on its new location at 11:10 a.m. Saturday and lined up "beautifully dead center" on a concrete pad.
The journey on steel rails began Thursday. Pomroy says a Dixieland band played at the champagne christening for hundreds of spectators at the finish line.
The next phase begins Wednesday when a new foundation will be started.
Pomroy says it's hoped the beacon on the 400-ton, 52-foot-tall brick lighthouse will be relit in July.
The lighthouse sits near brightly colored cliffs at the western edge of the resort island that was once a whaling center. | 2019-04-20T10:11:27 | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Historic-Gay-Head-Lighthouse-completes-135-foot-8037182.php |
