An adaptive servo control system estimating the unknown reference signal model for a single-input single-output plant is proposed. In order to follow reference signals as in servo systems, the models of the reference signals should be included in the control laws as internal models. So far, in the cases that the model of the signals is unknow or varies, a servo control law can not be designed. To design a servo system in such cases, in this paper, an adaptive adjusting law is used to identify the unknown parameters of the reference signal model. To simplify the control system, the design is based on coprime factorization of the plant model over the ring of stable proper rational functions. Stability of the closed-loop system including the proposed adaptive servo system is proved. | 2019-04-20T21:33:15 | https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/iscie1988/11/6/11_6_324/_article |

I LOVE summer. I never want it to end. My desperation to hang on leads me to feeling woeful in August and eventually downright depressed by September. This year I chose to spend August dodging waves of sadness by thoughtfully spending my time, making the most of these last days of summer.

Amulet Of The Betrayer is a Trinket in Lords of the Fallen. They are items that provide the player with passive aid.
Saving the 3 soldiers that arrive outside of the temple immediately after killing 'the Infiltrator', will cause them to show up in the Western Antechamber after killing 'the Beast'. There are two known ways to receive the amulet. For the first path you can encourage them to fight a lord (to do this, 'the Guardian' must still be alive). They will be killed and amulet will be near their bodies. The second option is opened after you accept the Guard Captain's side quest to kill the deserters. When talking to the 2 soldiers, select the option that encourages them to leave immediately. The soldiers resist, afraid that the Captain will kill them. In response Harkyn will tell the soldiers to give him their tattoos, stating that he will tell the Captain they were killed. Upon which the soldiers will thank you and leave, giving you the amulet and their tattoos. (You are welcome to experiment with other options, as there are surely more than just 2 ways to receive the amulet. These are simply proven methods.) The soldiers are located on the upper floor of the Western Antechamber before fighting the Guardian.
You must save the three soldiers when exiting from the temple after the Infiltrator fight, or they will not show up in the Western Antechamber. | 2019-04-19T10:25:08 | https://lordsofthefallen.wiki.fextralife.com/Amulet+of+the+Betrayer |

I couldn’t afford 3Com or Intel at the time, so I bought a cheap “SOHOware” brand bundle that included two 10/100 NICs, a hub, and cables for around $150. A comparable first-tier setup would have run me twice that. The hub died after a couple of years. The cards fared better. “After a while” took 11 years or so to come, and I finally got sick enough of it to retire my last one.
The last of those cards came out of service today. I dropped in an Intel 10/100 card to replace it. The other card came out of service a few years ago, when the PC it was in fell woefully obsolete.
The symptoms were pretty much what he described. Occasionally, large file copies would just abort. Large downloads would take much longer than they take on other PCs with better cards in them. And sometimes the machine would just stop responding to pings. Unplugging and replugging the network card usually fixed the issue. If not, ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew would do enough to bring it back.
My flaky cards had a Macronix chipset on them. I haven’t seen any of those in years and years, so I doubt many people are experiencing the specific problem I had. But some motherboards have oddball, sub-par networking built in even today. Maybe when network cards cost $100 or more it was worth putting up with, but these days there’s little point in messing around. If your motherboard’s built-in NIC starts acting goofy, disable it and install a card. A second-tier Realtek-based gigabit card, such as those sold by D-Link or Netgear, sells for about $20. You probably don’t want to put them in a corporate server, but they’re perfectly adequate for home use. Used Intel cards are cheap too. These days 3com is pretty much out of the business of making network cards, now that HP bought them out. Broadcom is the other first-tier gigabit chipset maker, but it’s much harder to find Broadcom-based cards at retail.
On the 100-megabit front, secondhand Intel and 3Com 100-meg NICs are dirt cheap–I find them on Craigslist all the time for $2-$5 each. But even Realtek 8139-based 10/100 cards are reasonably reliable, they’re just more resource hungry than 3Com or Intel equivalents. And you can still get those new for about $10, if you’re on a budget but want new stuff.
If you can afford it, going gigabit makes sense. Gigabit switches such as those from TP-Link are reasonably priced and if you can’t afford gigabit NICs and a switch right now, get the card or cards you need and get the switch later to upgrade your network to gigabit speeds. Plug the switch into your router, then plug your wired connections into the switch so your gigabit-equipped PCs can talk at high speeds with each other.
D-Link switches won’t hold up in commercial server rooms but they are suitable for home use. When streaming or copying large files between machines, gigabit is nice, even if it does nothing to make your Internet faster. (If it makes your Internet faster, it’s because the old switch or NIC wasn’t working right in the first place.) I don’t have a DVD burner in all of my machines–or even a place to put one, in some cases–so I’ll sometimes copy large files to a machine with a burner. That process works a lot better with first- or second-tier equipment involved.
When I started with the FAA, our work force was pretty evenly split between SMC, 3COM, and on board NICs. Management decided to keep the 3COMs and ditch everything else, so that was one of my first tasks: visiting each office with “care packages” full of hardware (we upgraded RAM and hard drives at the same time). I miss the reliability of those old 3C509 cards — those things seemed to run forever!
I have a 3c509 in at least one computer still. For years that was my go-to card when servers would act funny on the network. And my old web server had a 3c509 on the motherboard. I’ve had good luck with Intel cards over the years but, admittedly, even better luck with the 3c509s. I’ve never had a problem with a Broadcom card either, but I’ve never seen one of those outside of a server. | 2019-04-24T02:23:57 | https://dfarq.homeip.net/flaky-networking-suspect-cheap-nics/ |

The video for this classic Chills song works not for its earth-shattering concept, nor its production values or performances (which are largely nonchalant). It looks miserable, nihilistic even. But — through luck or good management — the video for this Chills classic works, clinging to the melancholy essence of the song like a shrunken homespun. Observant viewers will notice a single bird — not unlike the lonesome outcast portrayed by Martin Phillipps — flying back against the flow.
Dunedin band Mother Goose scored their biggest hit with this novelty song extolling the previously overlooked romance-promoting qualities of sauced legumes (and won extra marks for avoiding flatulence jokes). The Australian-made video references Queen's pioneering Bohemian Rhapsody clip and features Melbourne trans-sexual drag show performer Renee Scott as the recipient of one of the more bizarre pick-up lines. In his post Mother Goose career, keyboard player Steve Young (the bearded ballerina) directed The Chills' classic Pink Frost music video. | 2019-04-20T20:57:56 | https://www.nzonscreen.com/search?commit=Search&search_term=steve+young&utf8=%E2%9C%93 |
Extractions: History of Eritrea Eritrea is one of the newest and most promising nations in Africa and containts remnants of some of its oldest civilizations. One of the earliest known references to Eritrea is from Aeschylus (Fragment 67) in which he refers to the "Mare Erythreum" (Red Sea) as "the lake that is the jewel of Ethiopia." Eritrea recently fought and won one of the longest wars in the world. After thirty years of bitter strugle, Eritrea achieve total independence and the right to self-determination. The Eritrean people acheived their goals in 1991 in a stunning defeat of the occupying Ethiopian forces which also helped liberate Ethiopia from the Soviet-backed Dergue (Menguistu Hailemariam) regime. Between 1000 and 400 BC, a semitic group of people known as the Sabeans crossed the Red Sea into the region known as present Eritrea, and intermingled with the Hamitic inhabitants who had migrated from the northern Sudan. The region was then controlled by various foreign invaders such as the Axumite kingdom, the Funji Sultans of Sudan, the Egyptians, the Portugese and the Turks. Each of these foreign occupiers had a distinct impact on the development of present day Eritrea as a nation and in the formation of an Eritrean identity.
Extractions: Eritrea Along with Djibouti, Somalia, Yemen and Kenya, Eritrea has laid claim to being the site of the fabled 'Land of Punt', a rich, commodity-laden Horn of Africa region which the Egyptian Pharaohs were known to rave about in the vicinity of 2900 BC. Also known as the 'Land of the Gods', it was an area that traded heavily in such sought-after items as gold, frankincense and - unfortunately for the local flora, fauna and people - ebony, ivory and slaves. The very first human settlement in what is now Eritrea, however, is thought to have plunked itself in the Barka Valley in 8000 BC. Its residents are believed to have been related to central African pygmies and, after several thousand years of hefty cultural intermingling, had established strong trade relations with neighbouring ethnic groups. The powerful kingdom of Aksum, sited in what is now the north of Ethiopia, began to make its presence felt in the first century AD, relying heavily on the ancient port of Adulis in Eritrea to handle its sea-going goods. Not content with merely being the facilitators of Aksum's foreign trade, the Eritreans marketed their own stuff overseas, including loads of the black volcanic rock obsidian (prized in the making of jewellery) and tortoiseshells fresh from the Red Sea. The unconventional arrival of Christianity in the land, via shipwrecked Christian Syrian merchants, saw it quickly becoming the religion of choice; it subsequently exerted a profound influence on the development of Eritrean culture.
Extractions: Encyclopedia Eritrea Eritrea formed part of the ancient Ethiopian kingdom of Aksum until the 7th cent. Thereafter Ethiopian emperors maintained an intermittent presence in the area until the mid-16th cent., when the Ottoman Empire gained control of much of the coastal region. Beginning in the mid-19th cent. Ethiopia struggled against Egypt and Italy for control of Eritrea. In the 1880s, Italy occupied the coastal areas around Aseb and Massawa, and by 1890 had extended its territory enough to proclaim the colony of Eritrea (named after the Roman term for the Red Sea, Mare erythraeum Ethiopia In World War II, Eritrea was captured (1941) by the British. Ethiopia had long demanded control of Eritrea on the ground of ethnic affinity, but Britain occupied Eritrea after the war and, beginning in 1949, administered it as a UN trust territory. In 1950 the United Nations decided that Eritrea was to be made independent as a federated part of Ethiopia, and in late 1952 this decision became effective. In late 1962 the Eritrean assembly voted to end the federal status and to unify Eritrea with Ethiopia. After 1962, Eritreans who opposed union carried on sporadic guerrilla warfare against Ethiopia and the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF) was founded. In 1972 a rival insurgent group, the Eritrean Popular Liberation Forces (EPLF), was formed and battled the ELF for supremacy.
Extractions: About Eritrea Brief Info People Languages History ... Constitution History of Eritrea Early history 19th century expansion Italian influence Colonial rule ... 1997 The border conflict Early history Evidence of pre-humans has been discovered in the Buia region of Eritrea. The discovery may be one of the oldest ever found, and is similar to the famous "Lucy" find. Evidence of human presence begins in the 8th millennium B.C., beginning with Pygmoid, Nilotic, Kushitic (the Afar) and Semitic (Tiginya) peoples. In the sixth century B.C., Arabs spread to the coast of present day Eritrea, in search of ivory and slaves for trade with Persia and India. Their language evolved into Ge'ez, related to today's Amhara, still spoken by Chistian priests in Eritrea and Ethiopia. Ancient rock paintings During the 3rd and 4th century AD, Eritrea was part of the kingdom of Axum which spread from Meroe in Sudan right across the Red Sea to Yemen. The capital of Axum was in the highlands of Tigray (now a province in Ethiopia), and the main port was at Adulis which is now called Zula in Eritrea. This Kingdom was based upon trade across the Red Sea and was founded by Semetric people originally from Arabia. Christianity was the predominant faith of Axum introduced through contact with traders throughout the region.

After Emperor Haile Selassie 's overthrow in a military coup in 1974, the two insurgent groups united to fight against the Ethiopian government's forces. Fighting increased and by 1976 the Eritreans had virtually forced the government forces out of the province. However, the Ethiopian government, with massive amounts of aid and troops from the USSR and Cuba, was able to defeat the Eritreans in 1978. After their defeat the insurgents were forced to return to sporadic guerrilla warfare. During the 1980s the rebels continued their attacks on Ethiopian troops and eventually Eritreans controlled most of the countryside.
Extractions: Eritrea Sections [edit this] This is no World66 image. It was found using an Internet search. more.. [Change image] [Upload image] Eritrea officially celebrated its independence on May 24 1993 becoming the world's newest nation. Prior to Italian colonization in 1885 what is now Eritrea had been ruled by the various local or international powers that successively dominated the Red Sea region. In 1896 the Italians used Eritrea as a springboard for their disastrous attempt to conquer Ethiopia. Eritrea was placed under British military administration after the Italian surrender in World War II. In 1952 a UN resolution federating Eritrea with Ethiopia went into effect. The resolution ignored Eritrean pleas for independence but guaranteed Eritreans some democratic rights and a measure of autonomy. Almost immediately after the federation went into effect however these rights began to be abridged or violated. In 1962 Emperor Haile Sellassie unilaterally dissolved the Eritrean parliament and annexed the country sparking the Eritrean fight for independence that continued after Haile Sellassie was ousted in a coup in 1974. The new Ethiopian Government called the Derg was a Marxist military junta led by strongman Mengistu Haile Miriam.
Extractions: Eritrea was awarded to Ethiopia in 1952 as part of a federation. Ethiopia's annexation of Eritrea as a province 10 years later sparked a 30-year struggle for independence that ended in 1991 with Eritrean rebels defeating governmental forces; independence was overwhelmingly approved in a 1993 referendum. A border war with Ethiopia that erupted in 1998 remains unresolved.

SYNOPSIS: A practical and extensive collection of ideas, frameworks, tools and tips to supercharge your learning, ostensibly for programmers but relevant to anyone who plans on hacking their learning at school, home and work – by programmer and life-long learner, Andy Hunt of Pragmatic Programmers.
NOTE: Not all books are created equal. And Pragmatic Thinking and Learning is easily one of the most comprehensive and practical on learning I’ve yet read.
And you’ll find not only these but many (many) more ideas, frameworks and techniques inside.
There’s so much in here it would be very hard to know where to practically (let alone pragmatically) begin.
That said, there is huge value here (far more than I could even begin to get to in 3 hours) and I definitely plan to come back for a couple of weeks of thorough crunching.
Like The 7 Habits, Getting Things Done or How to Win Friends – Pragmatic Thinking and Learning is the kind of book best kept on your shelf and revisited at least once every year for as long as it takes to internalise its thoughts.
For now, I’ve pulled out the structure, “recipes”, end-of-section actions and a few frameworks to give you an overview (and remind me) of the ground the book covers.
If you’re looking for a solid, practical primer on Learning How to Learn – even if you never have or never plan to learn programming – this book is a great place to start.

Hey, family, I have something important to tell you.
Lauren (Jenna Laurenzo) wants to take her girlfriend Hailey (Caitlin Mehner) home at Thanksgiving. She plans to finally come out to her family and introduce Hailey as her girlfriend.
Lauren is not confident about what she’s doing. She should have come out ages ago. Her whole family is there, all talking at once about 10 different things, and Lauren can’t get her point across.
To make matters worse, Lauren’s roomate Austin (Brandon Michael Hall) shows up. Her parents think she’s in a relationship with him.
There’s a fantastic cast in Lez Bomb. Lauren’s dad (Kevin Pollak) and mom (Deirdre O’Connell) are there. Her Grandpa (Bruce Dern) and Grandma (Cloris Leachman) are there. Her uncle Mike (Steve Guttenberg) is there. Her brother is there, hitting on Hailey. Plus there are more uncles, aunts, cousins, residents of the motel the family runs, and a big butch drug dealer Uncle Mike is involved with. It’s a wild scene.
I liked the multiple generations of the family all thrown together at the holiday. And, I gotta say it, #EldersRock.
I thought Deirdre O’Connell as Lauren’s mom was fantastic. She stole the show for me. She was the beleaguered mom, trying to put together Thanksgiving dinner, hear everyone’s story, run her motel, deal with a fire in the basement started by her pot smoking brother, argue with her husband about cookies, decide her daughter’s big news was that she was pregnant, and more and more and more.
Had Lauren been more forceful she could have made them hear her. Hailey felt devalued as the day went on because Lauren couldn’t get the words out that would set the situation right. Nope, Hailey wasn’t having it.
To make Lauren’s inability to get the message across work, everyone had to talk at once, interrupt each other, and change the subject with amazing frequency. This group of actors made it look easy and natural. It was funny and poignant and a bit silly. I found the plot unlikely in its details, but the story was sweet and full of love.
If a coming out comedy sounds like fun, you’ll probably enjoy this one. It’s available on Netflix, Amazon Video and other streaming services. | 2019-04-25T20:35:54 | https://oldaintdead.com/review-lez-bomb/?shared=email&msg=fail |
When getting a new Tablet or laptop, one of the most essential factors that buyers need to consider is the display or screen resolution of each Tablet screen. Of course, the higher the resolution, the better. Still, it is sometimes hard to determine what is good especially if you are new to the Tablet market.
What is a Screen Resolution?
As a consumer, we may find it hard to understand what exactly screen resolution means. Often, these topics are discussed on Tablet review sites, but they talk about it in general terms. Screen or screen resolution is best described as “the number of pixels in every dimension” or how much information has been displayed on the screen. The quality of images or videos being shown is actually based on how many pixels it possesses. It is usually termed as SXGA, XGA, SVGA, WXGA, and have aspect ratios of resolution ranging from 600 x 800 to 1024 x 768.
Screen’s resolution is composed of columns and rows (horizontal and vertical) of pixels (dots) which are interlaced (“i”), like for example, 720 x 480i, 640 x 400i and more. It is usually refreshed 30 times in a second to produce a high detailed image or video.
What is a Good Screen Resolution?
The pixel numbers don’t always tell you the whole picture about screen resolution. Looking at different Tablet PC Review sites, much of the buzz about resolution isn’t just about how high it is (in numerical terms), but how it fits the size of your tablet PC screen. However, as a universal rule, it is highly recommended that your tablet PC’s screen resolution should be a 1024 x 768 XGA to have a crisp and clear image or higher than that. This screen’s resolution fits nicely the tablets that have 12”, 13.3”, 14”, or even 15” screen sizes.
What Tablets have Good Display Resolutions?
With the flooding of competition in the Tablet PC market, you can find a handful of brands that offer tablet computers with great display resolutions. Many Tablet PC Review sites show that Samsung seems to be the best when it comes to screen resolutions across their product line. Their new tablet delivers a mind-blowing crisp and crystal clear image with their 2560 x 1600 resolution on their 10.1 inch screen. They also utilize the retina technology (found on iPhone 4 too), which adds it brightness even under the daylight yet reducing power consumption up to 40%!
Other Tablet PCs which have a perfect standard resolution are the Motorola Xoom and the Blackberry Playbook each possessing 1280 x 800 pixels. The Apple iPad and iPad2 are also great at 1024 x 768 pixels.
What Tablets have Bad Screen Resolutions?
There will always be a discussion on what brands have the worst screen resolutions. Lets face it, most of us don’t have a ton of spare cash to buy the most expensive models. This leads us to gravitate towards cheaper Tablets and Brands which can also lead to poorer quality screen resolutions. When we talk about tablets, the price from brand to brands differs a little bit, the key is to find the best value regardless of brand. Tablet brands from China like the aPad or ePad (which are priced at $99) have been noted to have bad screen resolution. Examples of other Tablet PCs with poor screen resolutions are the “Maylong M-150” and Shira which only have a 800 x 480 pixels resolution which is obviously much lower than all other prime tablet brands on the market.
It can be concluded that it’s really wise to invest a little bit of your cash on high quality brands like Asus, Blackberry Playbook, Motorola Xoom, Apple iPad, or Samsung tablets, than to cheap tablets that won’t give you satisfaction. This is especially important when it comes to Screen resolutions since your screen’s ability in displaying images, videos and other elements are the bases for your overall tablet experience.

Slight could very easily be associated with the act of bullying. A bully selects a weaker person to abuse. The bullied person might be small and inconsiderable in the eyes of the “in crowd.” Often, the victim is slight physically and not physically strong in appearance. That small and vulnerable person is slighted with insults, ignored, and made a social outcast. Tragedy strikes when the abusers totally destroys the victim’s life and desire to live. I know we pray that things could be more fruitful for the children and all those who are bullied and slighted by those who are more powerful.
Being slighted happens to adults at the workplace, children of school age, to people in all sectors of society and of all ages. The effects of bullying can be minimized by the spiritual fruit. I believe it is important to learn that physical appearances and external sources of self-esteem are not something we can rely on. The inner qualities that build character is what really matters. We should learn to seek internal peace and joy amidst the verbal rants that tears a person down. It is mentally and emotionally healthy to build our internal life with the spiritual fruit. As the things of God are slighted in our society, so is the spirit of God within our words and behavior. Standing firm in the spiritual fruit is character.
Christ was initially a small and inconsiderable person of reputation and did not appear to be strongly built physically. Those with powerful authority spoke to him without proper respect and eventually destroyed him physically. The Man Of Sorrows was Bullied. Today, he is the small seed that became a forest. Christ in us realizes that it is not physical appearances, earthly reputation, worldly respect, or our successes that are important; but it is our character through the spiritual fruit that has importance.
Very good post. So timely.
Thanks! It means a lot to sow seed that are helpful.
Extremely comforting insights. We in America place entirely too much emphasis on physical beauty and strength.
What strikes me as odd is that it is not the beautiful and athletic ones that I found myself surrounded by from day to day. It seems that being slighted usually comes from those who we feel we should be better than. It is like the Doberman being slighted by the “Weiner Dog Association” and for some reason there is no appropriate response for the Doberman, unless it finds itself in a game warden pen. Unfortunately, it seems like the more “ugly” we are the more acceptable the “uglies” find us to be. “Ugly” as in character and humane behavior towards others. Thus begins the discussion of spiritual decline.
Hmmmm, I need to run that through the processor.
Thanks for the link.. An amazing post indeed.. | 2019-04-24T22:54:48 | https://spiritualfruitwithoutreligion.com/2018/05/14/a-slighted-society-by-bullying-the-spiritual/ |

Copyright does not protect individual names, titles or phrases.
Such items may easily be duplicated by coincidence, and are therefore not considered unique or substantial enough to be awarded copyright protection in their own right. Copyright laws are actually very restrictive, and to apply these laws to items that may be duplicated coincidentally, or that may be legitimately used in unrelated instances, (such as a name, title or phrase), makes no sense.
Because names, title or phrases are not themselves subject to copyright in their own right, this not something we can help you with.
For a full explanation of this you may wish to see the following fact sheet: P-18 Names, titles and copyright.
We cannot accept registrations that only consist of a title, as copyright would not apply to the title itself there would no real value in a registration that only consisted of a title.
As an real life example, ‘Who Dares Wins’ is the title of novels by Tony Geraghty, Peter Legge, Laurie Matthew and probably many more authors. This is not a breach of copyright. It is the novels themselves that are subject to copyright, not their titles.
I just have the title and outline for a script or story, can I register?
You can register as soon as you have some work in a tangible form. This can be particularly important if your are approaching outside parties (i.e. publishers, agents, etc.) before the work is fully complete.
As the work evolves, our registration update facility can also be used to lodge new versions of the work. | 2019-04-21T18:31:48 | https://www.copyrightwitness.com/services/knowledge-base/kb_title |

View Full Version : Poll: Dedicated servers or Peer to Peer servers?
P2P is undeserving for such a game!
Why would anyone vote for P2P over Dedicated?
Why would anyone who plans to buy the game on console, vote to have PC only dedicated servers?
p2p servers do have their problems and disadvantages.
possobly the biggest weak spot is the hosting client. the host has power over the whole game and this can be really tricky. instable wifi, multile users, streaming while gaming... the list goes on. this can lead to disconnects, lousy connection and off course a big advantage in duels and pvp in general. the host always has a slight advantage. it will certainly not turn the host into an uber-player but it might give an edge in a very close game.
next problem are rage-quitters and (other) scum, who might use it to their advantage. it is possible to deliberately cause lag, whebn you are the host. the result might be fatal.
judging by the videos i have seen, the game depends on timing and using the right combos / combo-breakers. so you might say, that personal skill is an important factor. in addition, the executions and taunts used by .... "special gamers", might trigger abuse and forced disconnects. at least, people might flame a very good playing host, just because he was the host and won - ewven if it is clear, that he won because of skill.
dedicated servers simply are safer and easier to monitor (anti cheat engines). if people have a lousy connection, they will suffer and not everybody in the match.
the only advantage p2p-servers have, is the circumstance that they are free. but tbh ... investing in dedicated servers is better, than loosing players to lousy "servers". leavers might have brought the game but leavers on cosole resell teir copy or get a refund from microsoft and sony. every resold copy is one ordinary copy less sold by ubisoft. | 2019-04-20T13:11:25 | https://forums.ubi.com/archive/index.php/t-1540046.html?s=d8c9215f92a7609a7548b5ef93504d9c |

There is only one thing that comes to your mind when you enter a brick and mortar casino or end up on an online casino site – to leave the place with a lot of money, and to have a lovely ride on the way there. This is what gave Just For The Win their idea for the name and shaped their products.
This relatively new online slot game producers made their first appearance on the gambling scene in 2016 and released their first games in 2017. Some lovely games are coming out of their workshop, and they immediately made an impact on the whole image that Just For The Win are presenting.
As we said, this company is created in 2016 with ambitions to make every player happy. They are coming from Gothenburg, Sweden, and they have around 20 professional developers. The interesting thing is that they represent 11 different nationalities on their team roster.
The company’s approach to gaming is rather straightforward, and one that players will likely appreciate: they want to create fun experiences for slots lovers while providing a level of professionalism that operators and customers will appreciate in all of their products.
Ever since from the start, they announced a major partnership with Microgaming, which helps these guys do their job better. This deal was designed to ensure that Just for the Win’s upcoming games would appear on the Quickfire platform. With over 400 brands using Quickfire, this means that a lot of players are seeing the JFTW collection in their favourite casinos.
By March 2018, Just For The Win has released three slots. It’s just vending machines that are the priority for this provider.
There are some themes that are more acceptable than the others, and for a brand new slots developer, a smart move would be to create a theme which has already proven to be fantastic on the market. The first slot Just For The Win which was released in May 2017, was Goldwyn’s Fairies slot, and it’s about fairies and magic. It’s a combination that few players can resist, and the lovely details inside the slot speak for themselves.
At the centre is the Goldwyn River and she bases on a bunch of fairies that can give you lots of different wilds on the screen. In fact, there are three whole jokers in total. Goldwyn’s Fairies also offers the players’ favourite, Free Spins.
Lucky Links was the second palace to leave the new dream factory. This slot builds more on the classic image of bandits with its four-leaf clover, sevens and horseshoes, and the game is perhaps the most inspired by the traditional Vegas castles. Game pace is, however, of the lower battle. The idea seems more to give us players a truly relaxing game time.
However, everything can be changed in no time. With the lucky links feature that has given the game its name, you can win re-spins that just continue and continue. The final goal is to get a full screen, but it does not happen so often. Another speciality with Lucky Links is that the lines pay in both directions.
Unfortunately, there are no wilds and scatter symbols that will make your life easier and facilitate your way to the most lucrative wins that the game can offer.
Have you been to New York and watched the Empire State Building? Have you seen the Hollywood movie The Great Gatsby with Leonardo Di Caprio in the lead? What the building and the film have in common are art deco and this art style is the foundation of the Deco Diamonds. This castle is neatly designed purely graphically and has a music that gives a sense of 1920s carefree days with drinks and charleston from night to morning.
Deco Diamonds boasts a combined re-spins and free spins round that you have never seen. The fun starts if you manage to hit two wilds simultaneously on the screen. You win a re-spin as you play with sticky wilds. If you get one or more wilds you win for the first time, probably quite a lot. Secondly, you can play on a multiplier wheel. With five wilds you win up to 1000 times the bet!
Just For The Win is still such a small game developer that there is no need to create a very own ecosystem for the castles. Instead, you get back on experienced platform owners such as Quickfire and iGamingCloud. With these two suppliers, the developer’s slots can be spread to basically all Swedish and European online casinos.
Some of the sites that can stand with all existing and all future slots from the developer are Dunder and Rizk. In general, the games are also among the most popular why they get a prominent place in the offer. Choose your favourite online casinos or try a new casino and take JFTW’s slots for a trial tour!
We think that Just For The Win managed to create a very solid first impression to us and obviously to the slot lovers because their games are constantly played and searched. We hope that their game release will increase in the coming years and they will enrich their game rooster. | 2019-04-25T16:23:41 | https://gateslots.com/providers/just-for-the-win-review/ |
Mercedes-Benz EQC Unveiled and Mitsubishi ASX Updates. | | A Wheel Thing.
It’d be fair to say that Tesla has been seen as an innovator when it comes to the fully battery powered car. Their Model X is a beautiful example of practicality, being a large and roomy people mover, with no challengers. Until now. Mercedes-Benz, an originator of the electric car, first put forward a concept of a people mover powered by electricity at the Paris Motor Show. That concept has now been released as a working version under a new branding, EQ. Known as the EQC, this SUV styled machine is powered by a pair of motors, one each for the front and rear combining to produce 300kW. Consumption is rated at 22.2 kiloWatt hours per 100 kilometres driven. Peak torque is quoted as 765Nm, and top speed is limited to 180km/h. Range is said to be 450 kilometres which of course will depend on driving conditions. It’ll be a hefty beast though, with a kerb weight of 2425 kilos for the 4761mm long machine. Gross Vehicle Mass for the 1884mm (sans mirrors) wide and 1624mm high EQC is 2930 kilos, with the battery pack making up 650 kilograms of that. However there’s enough oomph to get the EQC to 100km/h in a breath over five seconds.
Charging is courtesy of an on-board charger that is capable of delivering 7.4kW, making it AC home charging compatible. Using a M-B supplied “Wallbox” increases that by up to three times, with up to 110kW, and in forty minutes from nearly empty up to eighty percent. Styling is a mix of standard high riding SUV, a sloping rear roofline to add a bit of coupe, and a standout front panel in black. This encloses the headlights and a grille like structure. There’s an LED strip that borders the top of the panel that draws a line between the headlights. Design highlights inside have a ribbed edge to the instrument panel that resembles the heat exchange vanes from a music amplifier. Mercedes-Benz have ensured that the EQC will feel like a driver’s car by designing a cockpit-like feel to the cabin. Charging information can be found via the MBUX, or the Mercedes Benz User Experience. Charging current and switch off times can also be set here. MBUX will have its own tile on the screen to access EQ functions.
One of those is a form of pre-journey climate control, where the system can be activated to a certain present temperature before the vehicle is called into use for a drive. The satnav system will constantly calculate the best route based on charge time and usage plus aid in finding the best charging station on a distance basis. Pricing and release dates are yet to be confirmed. Another SUV is on its way however this is an update from an established vehicle. Mitsubishi‘s ASX has been given a freshen up and a surprising decision embedded in the update. There will be no diesels in the three model range, with a 2.0L petrol fed power plant as standard instead. Another surprising change is the move away from an AWD option to a purely front wheel driven system. Only one option will have a manual and that’s the entry level ASX ES at $23,490 RRP and a CVT equipped version at $25,490 RRP. The ES can also be specced with the ADAS option. Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), along with reversing sensors, dusk sensing headlamps and rain sensing wipers. Exterior features include front fog lamps and door mirrors with side turn lamps. The ASX ES optioned with Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) will have a recommended retail pricing of $26,990. The LS is $27,990 RRP with the top level Exceed well priced at just $30,990 RRP.
All vehicles will have DAB audio, seven airbags, smartphone compatibility, a minimum of two USB ports, reverse camera, and two ISOFIX child seat mounts. The LS adds Forward Collision Mitigation, two tone alloys, auto high beam, leather accented seats, and auto headlights & wipers. The Exceed takes this list further with heated front seats, six speaker sound system, the ADAS as standard, plus a glass roof. Check with your local Mitsubishi dealer for availability.

Quit reading this and take a minute to think of an actual place that means a great deal to you—where you are energized or nourished. Is there a park, a coffee shop, a certain neighborhood or street, a section along a river?
Hey, you’re still reading! Really, stop and think of that place.
How do you experience it? What makes it special?
When it comes to branding, it helps to think of an organization as a place we all experience. When you visit your group’s place, will you feel like you’re in a dark alley, not wanting to go further? Or on that pathetic street lined with fast-food restaurants, strip malls and power lines? Or hopefully, will you feel like you’re in a garden or at a coffee shop full of people talking and connecting with each other?
“Brand” used to mean logo, typeface, color, packaging, jingles and ads. Today it’s better thought of as the overall experience anyone—a supporter, customer, passerby—has when they brush against your organization.
Each year thousands, if not millions, will come into contact with your group. They may catch 60 seconds on the local news, see a magazine article or a friend’s Facebook like. They may glimpse it on a brochure or t-shirt, or talk with a staff person or volunteer. The cumulative effect of these visits forms the experience that person has of your organization. Whether they sought you out or stumbled upon you, they will judge you; if the experience is bad or mediocre, an opportunity is lost. But if it’s positive—moves the person toward confidence and loyalty—you may gain a lifetime friend.
Drs. Abraham Maslow and Norbett Mintz conducted a study in the 1950s in which they asked volunteers to look at photos of people’s faces. They had rigged three rooms. An ugly room looked like a janitor and storage closet with a hanging light bulb, torn shades, battleship grey walls, boxes, trash cans, mops and dust. The beautiful room had large windows, indirect light, a Navajo rug, paintings, sculpture, beige walls, a bookcase, a soft armchair, and a mahogany desk. The average room gave the appearance of a clean, neat, office in no way outstanding.
Volunteers were told that they were studying photos of people to see whether the faces displayed “energy” and “well-being” The results: people found energy and well-being in the faces when they looked at them in the beautiful room and found fatigue and sickness in the same faces when viewed in the ugly room. Reaction to the average room more closely resembled those of the ugly room than of the beautiful room.
Other studies have found that people feel better when working in natural light. It affects your productivity, your interactions with others. Our spaces can keep us from living our best. Or they may give us energy, feed our soul. Some people do their best when spaces are organized; others prefer a bit more creative chaos. In it’s wild array of variety, beauty in nature or our human-made spaces can inspire us and help our lives be more full.
What’s your nonprofit brand? When someone comes to your place, what do they experience? Magic? Do they want to linger? Does it inspire confidence? You want them to be like those in the beautiful room.
Doing so will help them feel uplifted, motivated and moving forward. And they’ll want to come back.

Take the prescribed pain medications approximately 2 hours after your surgery.This will usually help you with pain control as your local anesthesia is wearing off.
Restrict your activities the day of surgery and resume normal activity when you are not using prescription pain medication.
A certain amount of bleeding is to be expected following surgery. Slight bleeding, oozing, or redness in the saliva is not uncommon. Excessive bleeding may be controlled by first rinsing or wiping any old clots from your mouth, then placing a gauze pad over the area and biting firmly for thirty minutes. Repeat if necessary. If bleeding continues, bite on a moistened tea bag for thirty minutes. The tannic acid in the tea bag helps to form a clot by contracting bleeding vessels. If bleeding does not subside, call for further instructions.
The swelling that is normally expected is usually proportional to the surgery involved. Swelling around the mouth, cheeks, eyes and sides of the face is not uncommon. This is the body’s normal reaction to surgery and eventual repair. The swelling will not become apparent until the day following surgery and will not reach its maximum until 3 days post-operatively. However, the swelling may be minimized by the immediate use of ice packs. Two baggies filled with ice, or ice packs wrapped in paper towels should be applied to the sides of the face where surgery was performed. The ice packs should be left on for 15 minutes and taken off for 15 minutes while you are awake. After 72 hours, ice has no beneficial effect. If swelling or jaw stiffness has persisted for several days, there is no cause for alarm. This is a normal reaction to surgery. Three days following surgery, the application of moist heat to the sides of the face is beneficial in reducing the size of the swelling.
For moderate pain, one or two tablets of Tylenol or Extra Strength Tylenol may be taken every four hours or Ibuprofen, (Motrin or Advil) two-three 200 mg tablets may be taken every 4 hours.
After general anesthetic or I.V. sedation, liquids should be initially taken. Do not use straws. Drink from a glass. The sucking motion can cause more bleeding by dislodging the blood clot. You may eat anything soft and cold by chewing away form the surgical sites. High calorie, high protein intake is very important. Refer to the section on suggested diet instructions at the end of the brochure. Nourishment should be taken regularly. You should prevent dehydration by taking fluids regularly. Your food intake will be limited for the first few days. You should compensate for this by increasing your fluid intake. At least 5-6 glasses of liquid should be taken daily. Try not to miss a single meal. You will feel better, have more strength, less discomfort and heal faster if you continue to eat. Caution: If you suddenly sit up or stand from a lying position you may become dizzy. If you are lying down following surgery, make sure you sit for one minute before standing.
No rinsing of any kind should be performed until bedtime following surgery. You can brush your teeth the night of surgery but rinse gently. The day after surgery you should begin rinsing at least 5-6 times a day especially after eating with a cup of warm water.
If you have been placed on antibiotics, take the tablets or liquid as directed. Antibiotics will be given to help prevent infection. Discontinue antibiotic use in the event of a rash or other unfavorable reaction. Call the office if you have any questions. Eating yogurt or taking probiotic tablets or capsules can help you avoid yeast infections or diarrhea.
In the event of nausea and/or vomiting following surgery, do not take anything by mouth including the prescribed medicine until all the nausea has subsided and . You should then sip on coke, tea or ginger ale. You should sip slowly over a fifteen-minute period. When the nausea subsides you can begin taking solid foods by nibbleing crackers or toast. If you have tolerated solid food, the prescribed medicinemay be taken.
If numbness of the lip, chin, or tongue occurs there is no cause for alarm. As stated before surgery, this is usually temporary in nature. You should be aware that if your lip or tongue is numb, you could bite it and not feel the sensation. So be careful! Call Dr. Holly if you have any questions.
Slight elevation of temperature immediately following surgery is not uncommon. If the temperature persists, notify the office. Remeber – if you are taking pain medication, you are already taking medication to reduce fever.
You should be careful going from the lying down position to standing. You were not able to eat or drink prior to surgery. It was also difficult to take fluids. Taking pain medications can make you dizzy. You could get light headed when you stand up suddenly. Before standing up, you should sit for one minute then get up. Then pause before walking to determine if you are dizzy.
Occasionally, patients may feel hard projections in the mouth with their tongue. They are not roots, they are the bony walls which supported the tooth. These projections usually smooth out spontaneously. If not, they can be removed by Dr. Holly.
Sore throats and pain when swallowing are not uncommon. The muscles get swollen. The normal act of swallowing can then become painful. This will subside in a few days.
Stiffness (Trismus) of the jaw muscles may cause difficulty in opening your mouth for a few days following surgery. This is a normal post-operative event which will resolve in time. Try to eat soft food that is easy to eat. Don’t try to stretch the stiffness out.
There will be a cavity where the tooth was removed. The cavity will gradually over the next month fill in with the new tissue. In the mean time, the area should be kept clean especially after meals with warm water rinses and gentle toothbrushing.
Your case is individual, no two mouths are alike. Do not accept well intended advice from friends. Discuss your problem with the persons best able to effectively help you: Dr. Holly or your family dentist.
A dry socket is when the blood clot gets dislodged prematurely from the tooth socket. Symptoms of pain at the surgical site and even pain to the ear may occur following surgery. Call the office if this occurs.
If you are involved in regular exercise, be aware that your normal nourishment intake is reduced. Exercise may weaken you. If you get light headed, stop exercising. Do only light excerses until you have seen Dr. Holly and your stitches have been removed. | 2019-04-21T22:10:38 | https://www.theendicottoralsurgeon.com/surgical-instructions/wisdom-tooth-removal/ |

Only two reports against members of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) were made to the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) last year, but JDF commanders say several other soldiers were disciplined or fired following altercations with civilians.
INDECOM reported last week that there were 699 civilian reports against members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) last year and 42 involving members of the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). Routinely, the police force interacts with citizens far more regularly, and in denser numbers, than do soldiers.
There was only one report of civilian violation by security forces carrying out joint activities – including those in the recently concluded zones of special operations (ZOSOs) in Denham Town, Kingston, and Mount Salem, St James.
“We have had very few cases, but we have dealt with them very strongly. I recently dismissed three soldiers for operating while on duty in a way that I did not find acceptable in terms of their interaction with a citizen of Jamaica,” said Lieutenant General Rocky Meade, chief of defence staff of the JDF, during a recent Gleaner Editors’ Forum.
Launched in July 2017, the Law Reform (Zones of Special Operations) (Special Security and Community Development Measures) was introduced to contain crime, and at the same time, to safeguard the rights of citizens through community development and social intervention.
Under the ZOSOs, which ended this year, soldiers were given special powers, including that of arrest, which they do not possess outside of the SOE Act. That does not change the high level of professionalism and respect for human rights that is expected of JDF members, Meade said.
“Although the SOE Act has set a bar, we have adopted it across the force. So they all get the training and the guidelines as to how to treat with our citizens, and I want it applied across the board to every citizen in ZOSO or not,” said Meade.
“I had a situation where someone was on the road and acted in a way that I was not happy with based on the evidence, and in addition to our internal discipline, they are no longer serving,” he added, noting that undisciplined soldiers face both punitive and administrative sanctions.
“You may do something and it calls for a certain punishment, but then you have further told me something about your character, and based on your character, I may not think that you are worthy of wearing the uniform any further. We are very firm about it,” Meade said.
In March last year, there were complaints by residents of Denham Town and Mount Salem that following ZOSO, gunmen would return to the area with a vengeance as some JCF and JDF members were having sexual relations with women in the communities.
There were reports that at least one woman was impregnated by soldiers in Denham Town while a resident of Mount Salem noted, “When you pass some yards, a pure soldier clothes you see on the line” as she argued that some soldiers were living with women in the zone.
Meade, however, debunked those allegations last week.
“No facts have come to me with respect to that. I have heard the anecdote, and I, last year, put out a policy about sexual relations within the force and also with civilians and persons who we have a duty to protect in an operational area,” the army chief said.
INDECOM said it received 706 reports against the police in 2017 while there was only one against the JDF that same year. There were 55 reports against members of the DCS. | 2019-04-21T20:49:19 | https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20190324/editors-forum-jdf-takes-tough-line-against-rogue-soldiers |

Brilliant! I need to try that - and soon, while there's still grilling weather left.
Zoomie, I had a feeling you would like that. Give it a try. All weather is grilling weather. Sometime Ms. Goofy just gets a little wet holding the umbrella.
The photo with the smoke rising is crazy cool. Not going over to the vegetarian side are you?
Greg, There are a couple of mushrooms and smome bacon sausage from Lockeford meats. Not seen is a beautiful beer can chicken. I like to use the whole grill. Thanks for the compliment!
Well, it looks as though you and Tami Numnums have the same opinion on Spare the Air Days here in the Bay Area. That coupled with a really nice completely huge tarp over my outdoor cooking are, it looks as though Meathenge Labs will be grilling and smoking non-stop throughout the winter! | 2019-04-20T12:29:12 | http://www.madmeatgenius.com/2011/12/barbequed-cauliflower.html |

Three posts ago I mentioned going to RedTail Golf Course to try out a handful of different hybrids as I had been strangely struggling with mine even though the hybrid used to be my go-to stick.
Definitely a steal of a deal and I’m interested to see if this change makes a difference in my 200-230 yard game as well as potentially adds some confidence in short par 4 tee shots. I’m not saying it will or won’t help, but I’m going to give it a shot and see what happens.
To pay for this stick, I sold some golf clubs for the first time ever. I posted one of my old Nike pro-combo iron sets (pw to 5-iron with Project X 6.0 shafts) on eBay and was interested in what they would go for. All in all, after eBay took it’s cut, the irons sold for about $100, so it was a wash to trade the irons for the hybrid.
I truly hope this doesn’t spoil my potential relationship with Titleist. I love my Vokey Wedges and AP2 irons as well as 913 driver, just have been struggling with the new hybrid. I am sure there is a way to have it better fit my new swing and this is something I will talk with them about when I return to Oceanside in mid-January. I do, however, want to keep it real and talk about what I am doing and right now I am exploring the world of the hybrid. A club that I want to compare this Nike to is the Titleist 912U 2-iron. As soon as I find one of those I will do a full comparison of the two.
Over the past few months I have been working with Axon Sports to assist in developing an entirely different approach to golf learning in a new golf training app. We are focussing on imagery, imagination and visualization within the golf swing and the first version of the app is finally in my hands. I will be testing it out and tweaking aspects of the user experience over the near future and am excited about this new tool. It should be a game-changer down the road when it has been fully developed and a way for anyone to optimize their 10,000 hours.
To do it right, these things take a lot of time. I will definitely be updating this process as it develops and will reveal aspects of the app when the time is right.
One Response to "Hybrid update and a new golf app in development"
I was at red tail in October and tried some 912u clubs so I’m surprised you didn’t try one when you tried the other hybrids. When I asked for it the called it a driving iron instead of a hybrid. I love them off the mat but wondered how they would work out of the rough so didn’t get one. When you do get one I’d be interested to hear how it performs on the course. | 2019-04-19T17:25:27 | http://thedanplan.com/hybrid-update-and-a-new-golf-app-in-development/ |

There was a shift in the rankings at Day 3 of the 2019 Viterra Scotties Women's Provincials.
Due to two losses, Team Just went from competing for the top to the middle of the pack. That gave the opportunity for Team Holland to compete for the top spot with Team Silvernagle. Team Silvernagle also saw its first loss in robin round play. | 2019-04-21T22:29:12 | https://www.humboldtjournal.ca/sports/standings-shift-on-day-3-of-the-2019-viterra-scotties-women-s-provincials-1.23612266 |
House Post (Totem) also referred to as Central Post is one of several sculptures included in the International Sculpture Garden at Penn’s Landing, located along the Delaware River between Walnut and Spruce Streets. House Post (Totem) is currently in storage in preparation for the proposed redevelopment of the International Sculpture Garden.
Native Americans of the northwest Pacific coast carved several different kinds of cedar totem poles. Inside the house, carved poles supported the roof. Outside, or attached to the front of the house, were frontal or memorial poles carved with mythical figures or symbols of the family. A third type of pole served as a coffin. The totem that is part of the International Sculpture Garden (acquired with support from the Knollbrook Trust) is a central house pole. It belonged to the Kwakiutl of the coastal lands around Queen Charlotte Strait. The iconography includes a bird, a copper coin (symbol of wealth), and a grizzly bear.
The International Sculpture Garden was conceived by the Fairmount Park Art Association (now the Association for Public Art) in the 1960s as part of the anticipated U.S. Bicentennial celebration. The open-air installation celebrates and demonstrates the impact of other cultures on the American experience with a focus on ancient and ethnographic artworks. “Each individual piece,” the Association noted, “should not only be typical of that nation’s heritage, but should also be of the highest quality.” The sculpture collection includes a group of significant objects from diverse cultures. The Association acquired and installed the garden’s sculpture collection over several years, and today continues to own and care for these works. | 2019-04-20T14:30:43 | https://www.associationforpublicart.org/artwork/house-post-totem/ |

The Central District of the Central Texas Conference UMC officially welcomed their new District Superintendent on Monday, June 20, as Leah Hidde-Gregory was formally installed to that office by Bishop Mike Lowry, episcopal leader of the Central Texas Conference. The service was held in the beautiful 100-plus year-old sanctuary of First UMC Hillsboro – the church Leah and her family called home for the last three years as she served as senior pastor.
The service was a powerful evening of celebration and inspiration. The uplifting tone was set early and maintained all evening with soul-stirring hymns, praise songs, and anthems led by the Central District Choir and Living Proof, the praise team at First Hillsboro. A high point in the service came as several of Leah’s Central District clergy compadres presented her with symbols of the Office of District Superintendent – a bible for one who proclaims the word; water to be renewed in baptism; bread and cup to keep in communion with Christ; a UMC Hymnal and Book of Worship to guide in prayer and praise; a towel and basin to remind to be among those who serve; a stole to symbolize shepherding as a pastor; the UMC Book of Discipline to strengthen the United Methodist connection; and a globe to remind that we are in mission to the whole world.
At the conclusion of the symbols presentation, Leah was joined at the alter by Bishop Lowry and members of the Central Texas Cabinet for a Prayer of Blessing on her new role. While the blessing could have easily been the climatic moment of the service, the best was still to come, because following an offertory benefiting the Methodist Children’s Home – an organization and ministry very near and dear to the heart’s of the Gregory family – it was Rev. Leah Hidde-Gregory turn to inspire.
If anyone thought that Leah might ease into her role as DS and rest on the laurels of the excellent groundwork laid by her predecessor, the Rev. Don Scott, those thoughts were put to rest from the first fiery moments of her impassioned sermon. Basing her talk on Matthew 16:13-18, Leah made it clear that there would be no resting on past accomplishments on her watch as she implored and called on everyone in the sanctuary to “Storm the Gates!” and bring forth the kingdom of Christ whenever and wherever possible – in our communities, in our churches and in our own hearts and relationships.
Don, who is retiring from active ministry, closed the service, and his ministry as the Central District Superintendent with a beautiful and poignant benediction and everyone filed to the family life center for a reception.
Here are a few more photos from the evenings activities, more can be found on the CTC Facebook page.

I’m not a big fan of most kitchen gadgets and fancy appliances. Oh sure, give me a spatula, a whisk and a standard mixer—that’s great. But don’t ask me if I want a bread maker, a rice maker, a juicer, a breakfast sandwich maker or a toaster that can also cook your eggs 3 different ways. I really don’t have space for it all in my small kitchen and I’d rather just cook the eggs myself.
Awhile back my husband brought home a food processor he won at a work party—an enormous monster of a food processor—and miraculously managed to find a spot to hide it in our rollaway kitchen island. Occasionally he asks me if I’ve used it and I always say no. I’d have to pull it out, figure out how to get it to work, clean it…I reasoned it was much faster to do any necessary chopping or grating by hand.
Then yesterday the chilly fall temperatures got me thinking about a tasty fall muffin which requires lots of grated fruits and vegetables. It’s so much grating I usually end up day dreaming a roulette on line is an easy-to-play casino table game. little and grating my fingers, too. Then I suddenly remembered that food processor—maybe it would be worth figuring out. It takes a lot to get the grating done by hand, but with a little bit of help, I could do it quickly (and safely).

Ureteric injuries or transections are traditionally treated by diversion nephrostomy and double J stenting prior to definitive surgical repair. However, the complexity of ureteral injury dictates the treatment course, which may ultimately result in renal loss or permanent external drainage. Iatrogenic injuries are often of expected anatomic locations and associated with minimal tissue loss. Conversely, missile injuries result in significant tissue damage causing the unpredictable length of ureteric loss that makes a diagnosis, and therefore, treatment more challenging. While maintaining ureteral integrity is the mainstay for future surgical or endourologic repair, it can be sometimes difficult to pass the area of penetrating injury either antegradely or retrogradely. Here, we report two cases of successful repair of complex ureteral gunshot injuries using rendezvous technique requiring no additional surgical repair.
The reporting institutions do not require institutional review board approval for case reports.
A 33-year-old man presented after a gunshot injury to the pelvis resulting in comminuted left pelvic fractures and open wound in the left lower quadrant. A computed tomography (CT) urography was performed due to high volume leak from the wound. This demonstrated a large collection in the left iliac fossa with evidence of urine leak from the distal left ureter [Figure 1]a. The patient was initially referred for diversion nephrostomy. However, due to the presence of the large pelvic collection, we considered attempting rendezvous technique. Cystoscopy was done, and left ureteric cannulation showed total ureteric transection of the ureter and contrast leak into the left pelvic collection [Figure 1]b. A 0.018” hydrophilic wire was introduced into the cavity, and the patient was transferred to the angiography suite. In a right decubitus position and under moderate sedation, left percutaneous nephrostomy access was obtained, and contrast injection confirmed total ureteric transection as well as a large uretero-rectal fistula. The length of ureteric disruption was estimated at 1.5 cm at the S2 level. A 9 Fr 35 cm sheath was introduced into the left pelvic collection and a 15 mm gooseneck snare was inserted to capture the retrograde ureteric wire, which was retrieved from the percutaneous sheath to gain a through-and-through access [Figure 1]c. An 8 Fr 26 cm double J stent was retrogradely inserted and successfully deployed. Next, an 8 Fr nephrostomy catheter was inserted for external drainage. During the following days, the urine output from the open wound markedly decreased. At 1-month follow-up, nephrostogram showed remarkable healing of the ureter with interval decrease in the uretero-rectal fistula [Figure 1]d. At 4-month follow-up, there was complete healing of the ureter and resolution of the uretero-rectal fistula [Figure 1]e. The nephrostomy tube was removed, and the double J stent was kept in place to prevent ureteric strictures. Follow-up retrograde urethrogram during double J stent removal showed at 1 year no leak or ureteric stricture at the site of the previous injury [Figure 1]f.
A 55-year-old man who sustained a gunshot injury to the abdomen presented 6 weeks following exploratory laparotomy with increasing abdominal distension. A CT scan of the abdomen revealed a large left perinephric and intraperitoneal fluid collection that showed increased density on the delayed phase due to urine leak from proximal ureteric injury [Figure 2]a and b]. Initial diversion nephrostomy was done to alleviate the urine leak. Later, the patient had a cystoscopy with the retrograde placement of a wire into the collection. Through a new upper pole access, a gooseneck snare was used to capture and retrieve the retrograde wire from the collection. An 8 Fr 24 cm double J stent was inserted, and a nephrostomy tube was kept in place for external drainage [Figure 2]c,[Figure 2]d,[Figure 2]e. Later, the abdominal collection resolved completely, and the nephrostomy tube was removed. At 1-year follow-up, the double J stent was removed, and the patient required no additional interventions.
Recent reports from English literature described endoscopic realignment of ureteric injuries with rendezvous technique using the flexible antegrade scope and rigid retrograde ureteric scope., In this report, we emphasize few technical points pertaining to the fluoroscopy-guided realignment of total ureteric transection. First, the presence of collection cavity due to urine leak facilitated capturing the retrograde ureteric wire. Therefore, we suggest performing this procedure during the initial placement of diversion nephrostomy, which may lead to the complete obliteration of the cavity and subsequently preclude snaring maneuvers. Second, the antegrade sheath should be advanced into the collection or beyond the edge of the transected ureter. This presumably prevents de-gloving of the ureter during wire retrieval from the antegrade sheath. Similarly, we recommend introducing the tapered end of the double J stent retrogradely into the transnephrostomic sheath, as this may prevent antegrade intussusception of the distal portion of the pelvic ureter into the urinary bladder if the stent is introduced antegradely.
While this technique is minimally invasive and may obviate open surgical repair, it has potential complications. Ureteric intussusception during retrograde introduction of double J stent was described in a previous case reported by Pastore et al. This was managed by introducing the stent retrogradely. Strictures at the site of ureteric injury are commonly encountered due to the extra-anatomical passage of the stent and intense surrounding fibroblastic reaction. Nevertheless, these strictures can be managed by ureteroplasty and endoureterotomy.
Fluoroscopy-guided realignment using rendezvous technique may offer an alternative approach to salvage the integrity of the ureter and avoid open surgical repair after complex gunshot injuries. More evidence is still required to validate the safety and effectiveness of this technique, particularly in the long-term.

Having just finished a seven-week series of messages on prayer this past Sunday evening, one might think I had shared every illustration I knew of on the subject. Alas, there is more.
I thought I would add one more ditty on the subject in my post for today. My copy came to me from a dear friend and church member.
"The proper way for a man to pray,"
Is down upon his knees."
"No, I should say the way to pray,"
And rapt and upturned eyes."
"Such posture is too proud.
With both thumbs pointing toward the ground,"
And my head a-pointin' down."
A wonderful story is often told about an incident in the life of Poland's famous concert pianist, Ignace Paderewski.
A mother took her small child to a concert by Paderewski to expose him to the talent of the great pianist. She hoped as she did to encourage her son in his piano lessons, which he had just begun.
They arrived early at the concert and were seated near the front. Standing alone on the stage was a marvelous Steinway grand piano. As they waited for the concert to begin, the mother entered into a conversation with the people beside her.
Eventually, eight o'clock came, and the lights began to dim. Everyone turned their attention to the stage and the grand piano. The mother looked up and was suddenly horrified. Her son was sitting at the piano and banging out with one little finger, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." "Oh no," she thought, "How am I going to get him down?"
As she began to make her way to the platform, Ignace Paderewski himself appeared on stage. He went over and sat down beside the child. He whispered in the child's ear, "Don't quit; keep playing!" As the little boy continued to play, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began to fill in the bass part.
Then with his right arm around the little boy, he added a running obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice held the crowd mesmerized.
As God’s children, many times we Christians are tempted to feel like we are spending our lives pecking out meaningless and inconsequential little tunes, thinking as we do that our gifts are just too small for God to use in any significant way. And yet, that is all He desires of us: our willingness to use whatever talent(s) we have been given.
Whenever we attempt something in His name, He comes along beside us, sits down next to us, and whispers in our ear, "Don't quit; keep playing." Then, with His subtle guidance and able assistance, we suddenly find ourselves making beautiful music both with and for God, and enriching the lives of ourselves and of others as we glorify Him.
Note: This story, in all of its various versions, has long been a staple among speakers and writers, especially preachers. Accordingly, it is posted all over the internet. That there was a famed concert pianist named Paderewski is certainly true. He would later become the Prime Minister of Poland. This particular incident, however, may or may not have actually occurred in his life.
To my knowledge, its authenticity is not confirmed. Thus, it is perhaps best to attribute it to folklore. If so, the probable origins can be found at: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/p/paderewski.htm.
Whether the story itself is true or not, the point made by the story is nonetheless readily apparent.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO!"
In Issue #7 of the publication, Crossroads (p. 16), the following story is recounted.
“I’ve looked through the rule book,” he said, “You don’t have to go.” Wow! What about that!
With all the discussion these days about the concept of Hell (i.e., http://www.albertmohler.com/2011/03/08/doing-away-with-hell-part-one/), the greatest truth to remember about Hell is that no one really has to go to that awful place. We do have a choice.
We can heed the Word of God, repent of our sins, receive the offer of God’s grace, and be gloriously saved. As Paul says in Romans 8:1: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” The key to no condemnation from God is to be found, of course, in Christ Jesus.
For, as John says (I John 5:12)… “He who has the Son has life…”; but “he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” I trust you have found Christ. If so, you have the assurance of life – life abundant and life eternal one day in a wonderful place called Heaven.
to all of us eventually.
In any event (and in light of the response to my last post), here is another little jewel for the over 55 crowd. It too is very well put.
A self-absorbed college freshman was walking along the beach in southern California one day. As he did, he stopped next to a senior adult man who was contentedly resting on some nearby steps.
In short order, he took it upon himself to explain to this out of touch senior citizen why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
"You see, old man, you grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one compared to the world of today." The student said this loud enough for any and everyone around to hear.
He continued. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, and men walking on the moon. We have nuclear energy, wireless telecommunication, and computers with fiber optic internet connections that allow us to communicate at the speed of light all over the world, and many more such wonderful things today..."
After a brief silence, the old man responded as follows. "You're absolutely right, son. We didn't have any of those things when we were young... So, we invented them all! Now, you arrogant little snot, what are you doing for the next generation?
Needless to say, the applause from up and down the beach was amazing!
A little silver-haired lady called her neighbor and said, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer new jigsaw puzzle; and I just can't figure out how to get started."
Her neighbor asked, "What is it supposed to be when it is finished?"
The little silver-haired lady said, "According to the picture on the box, it is supposed to be a rooster."
Her neighbor decided to go over and help her with the puzzle after all. The little old lady let her in and showed her where she had the puzzle spread all over the table.
Her neighbor studied the pieces for a moment or two; and then looked at the box. Finally, she turned to the little old lady, and said, "First of all, no matter what we do, we are just not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster."
She then took the little old lady by the hand and said, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then…" she said with a deep sigh, "Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box."
Like many people, I have become unduly dependent upon my “smart phone”. Among its many uses, it is my alarm clock. Which is perfectly fine… except whenever time change roles around.
Then, I am forever searching the internet to make certain that my phone will automatically adjust its time clock to or from Daylight Savings Time. I live in fear that it will not make the change; and that I, the Pastor, will be late to church as a result.
In any event, my recent twice-a-year quandary led me to an e-mail I had received from a friend some time back. It is fairly thought provoking; and I thought I would post it on my blog on this, the eve of time change Sunday.
It is titled “The Bible or the Cell Phone”.
What if we gave it to our kids as a gift?
Oh, and no dropped calls!
One more thing… Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected; because Jesus has already paid the bill.
Ernest Hemingway once wrote a short story called "The Capital of the World." In it, he told the story of a father and his teenage son who were estranged from one another. The son’s name was Paco. He had wronged his father. As a result, in his shame, he had run away from home.
In the story, the father searched all over Spain for Paco, but still he could not find the boy. Finally, in the city of Madrid, in a last desperate attempt to find his son, the father placed an ad in the daily newspaper. The ad read: "PACO, MEET ME AT THE HOTEL MONTANA. NOON TUESDAY. ALL IS FORGIVEN. PAPA."
The father in Hemingway's story prayed that the boy would see the ad; and then maybe, just maybe, he would come to the Hotel Montana. On Tuesday, at noon, the father arrived at the hotel. When he did, he could not believe his eyes.
An entire squadron of police officers had been called out in an attempt to keep order among eight hundred young boys. It turned out that each one of them was named Paco. And each one of them had come to meet his respective father and find forgiveness in front of the Hotel Montana.
Eight hundred boys named Paco had read the ad in the newspaper and had hoped it was for them. Eight hundred Pacos had come to receive the forgiveness they so desperately desired.
This beautiful story illustrates the great truth that Jesus was driving at in His famed Parable of the Prodigal Son. Just as there are many, many Pacos in Hemingway’s story, so there are innumerable prodigals in the world.
Fortunately, God has not given up on us. Persistently and indefatigably, He searches for us. He never gives up on us. He longs day and night for us to come home. And if and when we do, He is overjoyed. He loves us. He forgives us. He restores us. He fêtes us.
I hope you have come home to the Father. I hope you know the peace and joy that comes with having been forgiven by God. If not, my friend, the Father’s invitation to come home still stands. Even now, He is waiting for you.
In his book, The Tale of the Tardy Oxcart (Nashville: Word Publishing, 1998, p.2), famed author Charles R. Swindoll tells the following story.
A professor in a college ethics class presented his students with a problem. He said, "A man has syphilis and his wife has tuberculosis. They have had four children: one has died; the other three have what is considered to be a terminal illness.
The mother is pregnant. What do you recommend?" After a spirited discussion, the majority of the class voted that she should abort the child. "Fine," said the professor. "You've just killed Beethoven."
The British playwright Enid Bagnold once asked a feminist what advice she would give to a twenty-three-year-old housewife who, having lost four children, found herself pregnant again by an abusive, alcoholic husband. "I would urge her to terminate the pregnancy," the feminist replied. "Then," said Ms. Bagnold, "you would have aborted Beethoven."
For my part, I love music – a wide variety of types. I am even beginning to enjoy classical a little. However, I know this much: whether my tastes in music include classical or not, the world would be a much sadder place without the works of Ludwig Van Beethoven. I am glad his mother chose not to abort him. I am glad he was given a chance to live, and thereby, a chance to make a difference in this world.
This evening, a crowd of several hundred people has gathered at the First Baptist Church in Lenoir City to pledge their support to the HOPE Resource Center: a crisis pregnancy ministry located here in our community.
79 of these clients made a decision to receive Christ!
193 of these clients chose life instead!
101 of these committed to abstinence after meeting with client advocates.
All of this is made possible by generous support from the body of Christ at large. This includes my wife and me. If you would like to know more about how you can make a difference in the future of some unborn child, and of the world that he or she might one-day impact, feel free to contact HOPE.

Dymapak was founded with a scrappy spirit and a daring objective: develop great solutions that further the safety of medicine, vitamins, detergents and cleaners and many other common household products.
Our dedication to safety storage innovation has led to tremendous advances across many industries, ultimately leading us to evolve into Dymapak – a comprehensive pharmaceutical safety packaging supplier.
Every idea starts with a problem. In March 2009 our founder was diagnosed with epilepsy. Equipped with a new focus on reducing triggers like stress and lack of sleep, he struggled to find a perfect fit. However, thanks to widespread media attention and decriminalization in the US, the medicinal benefits of cannabis had become increasingly top of mind. Why not give it a try? Sure enough, it worked.
Still, two big problems existed – Cannabis was illegal in our state, and friends, family and neighbors didn’t enjoy that uniquely stinky smell penetrating every container and room in the home or office.
And just like that – we knew a smell-proof solution was necessary and started the Dymapak revolution.
Eighth years later, we’ve mastered first-class production, directly engaging with dispensaries, processors, producers, and growers to provide the most effective, durable and safe storage bags, with prices, designs and features to fit the needs of today’s booming industry.
We believe in the medicinal benefits of cannabis, alleviating symptoms and side effects of some of the world’s most serious illnesses and treatments. At Dymapak, we are on a mission to ensure all patients and consumers who chose to use cannabis should be able to do so politely, discretely and without risk of public scrutiny. It may be our story that started Dymapak, but the solution is universal.
We have a set of commitments which drive every decision we make, and we take great pride in holding true to these values each and every day.
To provide heroic customer service and quality products to patients, customers, and all others who depend on us.
To work with passion, commitment and enthusiasm in a seriously fun environment.
To avoid complacency and strive for continuous self-improvement.
To undertake social initiatives that address the emerging needs of cannabis patients.
To be eco-conscious with programs to reduce or reuse plastic bag consumption (click here for more info). | 2019-04-20T10:54:06 | https://dymapak.com/about-us/ |
I consistently confuse Two Tribes’ Rive with troubled ICO-like Rime, so I’m partly posting this news story to cement the game in my head, but mainly because this platforming shoot-’em-up hybrid from the developer of Toki Tori looks pretty intriguing in its own right. You control a spider tank in a sidescrolling, bullet-spewing world, one that comprises land, underwater, zero gravity, and look-ma-I’m-on-a-moving-train sections.
If you don’t want to shoot enemies into teeny-tiny bits, you can also hack and control them. And when you finish the (supposedly six-hour) campaign, you can take on the Speedrun or Single Credit modes.
Rive is out now on Steam, with a 15% launch discount for the next couple of weeks. | 2019-04-18T18:59:23 | https://laptopbliss.com/hectic-shmup-platformer-rive-now/ |
When Apple unveiled the all-new Apple TV with an all-new remote during its iPhone 6S September event, it glossed over some really interesting features for the new set-top box.
So, we have created this feature to tell you about a few of them.
The new Apple TV is now available to buy, starting at £129 in the UK and $149 in the US, and it comes with a fresh operating system, sleek interface, and voice-command functionality, to name a few things.
With that in mind, and to help you better understand what else is awesome about the latest version of Apple's set-top box, we've dug through all the details and rounded up 14 of the coolest features.
We can't delve into Apple TV features without first addressing one major change: Apple has added a new operating system to its set-top box. The new software offers an interface that's pretty similar to the old interface, though Apple has cleaned it up and replaced the black background with white.
Apple is calling its new operating system "tvOS". It is based on iOS, with various modifications added, such as support for the new remote. Beyond the interface, core aspects of tvOS include voice search through Siri, universal search across apps, a full-fledged app store, support for gaming, and more.
The new Apple TV is all about apps, thanks to the new Apple TV App Store, which Apple wants developers to make exclusive tvOS-based apps and games for.
Gilt Groupe's CEO, Michelle Peluso, showed off the new Gilt app designed specifically for Apple TV during the unveiling of the device. She showed how you can scroll or swipe with the new remote to navigate through the Glit app.
Buy-now buttons appear on carousel views and product pages, for instance, and so with a simple press of the new remote, you can buy stuff. Netflix, Hulu, and HBO have also released new apps for tvOS.
iTunes Movies has been redesigned as well, while the Apple Music app will soon deliver Beats 1 radio.
The Apple TV has a new remote with motion-sensing capabilities. It's a slim controller decked out with a touchpad and buttons for menu, home, volume, and Siri. The dual mics for Siri are located at the top, while the black touchpad is cloaked in glass and clicks (much like the MacBook's trackpad).
You'll also notice a small IR port for issuing volume commands to your TV. And at the bottom, there's a Lightning port for charging the remote's battery (supposed to last three months on a single charge). Although you won't find a power button, it can turn new TVs on/off if they have HDMI CEC.
The remote also connects to Apple TV over Bluetooth 4.0, so there's no need to point it at the box.
So, the touchpad lets you navigate through the new interface by sliding your finger across its surface, but as if that wasn't enough, you can turn the remote sideways to turn it into a controller for gaming.
The remote has built-in accelerometer and gyroscope sensors, meaning it acts like a Wii controller.
The Apple TV comes with a new remote, and we noted below how you can use it to rewind or skip forward, but did you know it can also cue up information?
A downward swipe on the trackpad will bring up details on what you're watching.
We've already told you the Apple TV lets you play games using the new remote. But if your friends don't have a remote, don't worry. Up to four players can join a game with their iPhones or iPod touches. Apple told Pocket-lint after the event that the new Apple TV will support third-party gamepads as well.
During our hands-on, we had a look at the SteelSeries Nimbus controller, which can be used to control one player, while the remote, your iPhone, or iPad can be used to control other players.
Apple TV comes with support for Siri, bringing voice-controlled, smart search to the set-top box.
All results are sorted by popularity, and when you ask Siri to find a movie, TV show, or song, she'll search not only iTunes, but also Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, and HBO. You can also conduct searches by actors and genres. You can say, for instance, "Show me Bond movies" or "Just the ones with Sean Connery."
This is where things get clever. Apple has quietly included something Google previously described as conversational search. So, you can have a conversation with Siri in order to narrow your choices.
Siri won't just fetch stuff for you; she'll also scrub for you. She can move whatever you're watching forward or backward. All you have to say is: "Siri, skip back 15 seconds" or "What did he/she say again?" But if you don't want to use Siri for that, you can also click and slide on the new remote to scrub.
Let's not forget that Siri is a digital assistant first and foremost, and that's no different with the Apple TV. She can pull up weather reports or answer your questions, and she'll display all answers and results along the bottom of your display. If you want that in full-screen, swipe up on the remote.
The new iPhones are capable of recording 4K videos at 30fps, and you'll of course be able to play them on your television through Apple TV, but because the new box doesn't support 4K, all videos will be downgraded to 1080p.
If you lose the new remote to your new Apple TV, you can program any third-party one to work with the set-top box. Just go to Settings > General > Remotes > Learn Remote. From there, choose a setting or button that doesn't control another device, and then select Start. You should see the six buttons of the Apple Remote, which you can map to your new remote. To do so, press and hold each button until the blue progress bar is done.
If you share your Apple TV with others, you can set up separate accounts using individual Apple IDs so you don't have to share your content with others. It's simple to do: from the Home screen, go to Settings > Accounts > iTunes and App Store. From there, select Add New Apple ID and enter an Apple ID.
Click Continue, then add the Apple ID password, and select Sign In. Sign out and repeat the process to add another account, them go to Settings whenever you want to switch between accounts. Simples.
The new Apple TV home screen lets you change the default icon order. All you have to do is use the new remote; select an icon by pressing down on the touch surface, and you'll then get vibrating icons (similar to what you see on iOS). Then, you can swipe left, right, up, or down to move the icon around.
When you're done, press the touch surface to set everything in place. | 2019-04-26T10:09:44 | https://www.pocket-lint.com/tv/news/apple/135249-14-cool-features-and-other-things-you-can-do-with-the-new-apple-tv |

TWENTY-SIX skeletons dating back 3,000 years have been uncovered near Wantage.
A multi-million pound Thames Water project to protect the future of a rare Oxfordshire chalk stream revealed some fascinating items.
An ancient settlement was found containing an array of historic artefacts while preparing to lay new water pipes which will relieve pressure on the precious Letcombe Brook.
Among the important finds were 26 human skeletons believed to be from the Iron Age and Roman periods, and some likely to have been involved in ritual burials, along with evidence of dwellings, animal carcases and household items including pottery, cutting implements and a decorative comb.
Cotswold Archaeology has now carefully removed the items for forensic examination, allowing Thames Water to start laying the six kilometre pipe which, following consultation with residents, will supply nearby villages with water taken from groundwater boreholes near the River Thames and not Letcombe Brook.
Chris Rochfort, Thames Water environmental manager, said: “We’ve found significant historical items on many previous upgrade projects but this is one of our biggest and most exciting yet.
The archaeological findings have already been shared with residents at events in Letcombe Bassett and Letcombe Regis village halls. | 2019-04-25T16:47:57 | https://www.bicesteradvertiser.net/news/17571017.thames-water-work-on-letcombe-brook-wantage-reveals-iron-age-settlement/ |
New release! The Dairyman Vineyard Pinot Noir is the newest addition to the Belle Glos lineup.
The 2016 Belle Glos Dairyman Vineyard Pinot Noir, sourced from the southern alluvial plains of Russian River Valley, where the proximity to the Pacific Ocean creates cool morning fog and afternoon breezes resulting in an uncommonly long growing season. Once an old dairy farm and pastureland, this site has since realized its true potential as a prime Pinot Noir vineyard.
Tasting Notes: The color is quite striking, with the brilliant red ruby hue hinting at the luscious fruit to come. The aromas are abundant with bright cherry, cranberry and brown spice, reminiscent of warm cinnamon toast topped with plum jam. On the palate, the bright cherry opens the show, then evolves into a lush, sweetly spiced plum pudding, coating the mouth with a velvety richness. The acidity is as vibrant as the color, lifting the medley of fruit to lavish heights and augmenting the spicy tones. The wine then develops an intense mineral note, adding yet another dimension, lending way to silky tannins and a lengthy finish that will leave you wanting more. | 2019-04-24T13:52:11 | https://www.brix26.com/collections/california-pinot-noir-wines/products/belle-glos-dairyman-vineyard-pinot-noir-russian-river-valley |

We have a saying here at the 360 Headquarters: feed the mayonnaise to the tuna. It’s code for seeking good ideas that simplify a process to get the same great results (chicken-of-the-sea in our mini-fridge not withstanding.) This month’s newsletter might go by a similar slogan: feed the BBQ to the polar bear.
Or: why jump in a frozen lake alone when you can jump with clients and friends in the media? Then everyone will know about it! More awareness for Special Olympics. More slow-smoked brisket for us (see below).
Plus: other stories of fire and ice (tis still the season, but Spring, we’ve got our eye on you!).
ps – we gave our website a face lift: let us know what you think. And look for Polar Plunge photos on our Facebook page.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…ah, forget about it. Dressing up like jockeys and riding into the frozen waters of Lake Michigan is just fun stuff. So we’re going to do it again: THIS SUNDAY. Particularly because it’s for a great cause:SPECIAL OLYMPICS.
This year we’ve invited the MEDIA to join us (special thanks so far to John Garcia, Bill Bellis, Amy Jacobson, Amber Holst, Aly Bockler, David Wallach and others). Our friends from Q-BBQ and Hawthorne Race Course are all in too. So PLEASEMAKE A DONATION, if you can.
Trick question: what’s more dangerous than fighting a fire? Fighting one in extremely cold weather. | 2019-04-20T21:03:05 | http://agencythreesixty.com/2014/03/feed-the-brisket-to-the-polar-bear-and-other-stories-march-newsletter/ |
The boys attempt to build an electric car that is better than a G-Wiz.
Jeremy pits the Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 against an Audi R8 V10.
Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Michael Sheen.
Review: Clarkson reviews the new V10-engined Audi R8. He praises the car’s performance as well as its practicality. However, he criticises the price tag of £100,000 and also characterises the car being boring to drive, despite its high level of performance. Next, he reviews the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. He praises the car for having significantly more power than the R8 (120 bhp (89 kW) more) and for being more fun to drive. However, he criticises the car’s workmanship, its styling, and its unrefined handling, calling the car as “being vulgar”. It proves to be unable to keep up with the R8 on the test track. However, despite the R8’s better styling, performance, and quality, he still considers the Corvette the car to buy.
The Stig takes the R8 round a damp track in 1:21.6, however the Corvette proves to be faster in the hands of the “tame racing driver” with a time of 1:20.4 in the same conditions. Clarkson explains that either he or Hammond would manage to take the Audi round in about the same time as The Stig but would never be able to match him in the Corvette.
Challenge: Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to build their own electric car. Richard is given responsibility of the car’s chassis, suspension and brakes, whereas James deals with propulsion. Jeremy designs the interior and exterior, using, among others, large felines, fighter jets, Peter Bowles and the Fiat Multipla for inspiration. After being built in the Top Gear Technology Centre, the car, which is called Geoff, is taken for a drive around Oxford. It subsequently ran out of power in central Oxford, causing a traffic jam, and then again in the countryside. Eventually Geoff was “killed” when it rolled backwards down a hill into a tree. Geoff was constructed by fitting a bolted aluminium frame to the chassis of a TVR Chimaera, using an electric motor from a milk-float and originally using two batteries. The interior featured 3-abreast seating made from plastic garden chairs, and a transparent roof-box to accommodate Hammond’s head as his centre seat was mounted above the raised drive-shaft.
The car is redesigned and named the “Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust.” The redesign includes extra batteries, along with a diesel generator to recharge the batteries while the car is in motion. The presenters then took their new car to the MIRA Proving Ground in order to test whether it would pass the EU-required tests that would make the car road legal. The tests consisted of a two crash tests to test safety, a drag race to test speed, a cobbled road to test ride comfort, a steep hill test and a quality test around the MIRA test track, in which the presenters used various tricks to have their car “pass”, including using the three presenters as crash-test dummies and crash-testing the car at a very low speed and playing back in fast-motion; cheating at the pendulum test by raising the pendulum from the car and then playing the footage in reverse, and having the car tested by an “independent test driver” (James wearing a fake moustache). The car is also taken for an endurance test by “the Stig’s vegetarian cousin” (who is entirely green, has solar panels on its helmet, and wears sandals) – who is killed after 35 minutes by fumes from the generator after the exhaust fell off.
Confident that their car was now road legal, they gave it to Autocar magazine for an independent test. The presenters were somewhat disheartened by the results however, as the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust was rated 1 out of 5 by the magazine’s writers (although it did at least beat the G-Wiz and an electric golf cart, which the same magazine awarded both cars 0.5 out of 5). However, the car did receive praise from some of its characteristics, such as the vertical A-pillars, which improve visibility.
Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Michael Sheen did a lap in 1:46.3 despite having just flown in from Los Angeles. He was officially named the Fastest Welshman to drive around the track.

Rating: 9.2/10. From 70 votes.
Anyone else notice that Geoff always had a generator too? When the made the Hammerhead i Eagle thrust and were inspecting May’s generator you could see ‘Geoff’ written on the tail gate.
Jezza: Gus, has anyone ever done a car with a mustache?
Me: Yes, almost every single Aston Martin ever. | 2019-04-18T21:02:14 | https://www.motoringbox.com/cars/entertainment/top-gear/challenges/series-14-episode-2/ |

The year 1984 saw Gremlins – a quirky movie about a cute, furry little creature called a Mogwai and nicknamed “Gizmo,” that after coming into contact with water, would sprout wacky, and sometimes demonic “offspring” called gremlins – hit movie theaters all over the United States. I can imagine that no one thought that this movie would become the cult classic that it has but for some reason, it resonated with audiences. Six years later, a sequel would hit theaters. With triple the budget and complete creative control, director Joe Dante would make a movie even weirder and more demented than the original.
Gremlins 2: The New Batch had an even crazier storyline, with Gizmo spawning an even more outrageous animal-gremlin hybrid cast, including an Electro Gremlin, Veggie Gremlin, Spider Gremlin, Femme Fatale Gremlin and, of course, the Bat Gremlin. Known for the immense level of detail that they put into the figures that they design, NECA has created one of the most detailed recreations of the Gremlins brand to date, and their take on the fan-favorite Bat Gremlin is no exception. Standing at approximately 6 inches tall, with a massive wingspan of nearly 18 inches, this collectible is a must have for any Gremlins fan.
The Bat Gremlin is a detailed re-creation of the puppet seen in the movie Gremlins 2: The New Batch. The really cool feature on this figure is that it is fully articulated, including hinged ears, hinged jaw, jointed neck and jointed arms. In addition, the wings are also hinged which allows them to spread open and fold closed. The level of articulation on this figure is awesome and, with the included stand, you can get it into some pretty imaginative poses. Because of his massive wings, Bat Gremlin can’t stand without it, so it is a necessary piece to have included with the figure.
The sculpt of the Bat Gremlin stays very faithful to the puppet that was used in the movie. From the bony ridges above the eyes to the scaly look and feel of the skin to the leathery texture of the wings. The detail in the face alone is astonishing and if you look at it long enough, it just might wink at you. Not really, but it does look very good. The highlight on this figure is the sheer size of the wings which are very detailed and not only look like real bat wings but actually feel like real bat wings.
The paint job on this figure helps to make it stand out from the other Gremlins figures offered by NECA. The browns, tans and yellows in the appearance of the Bat Gremlin is what really brings this figure to life. As a huge fan of this movie franchise, I was truly astonished at how closely it looks to the puppet used in the movie. It doesn’t look cheap in the slightest bit but has a very high quality finish that actually makes the figure look as if it is alive.
Overall, I was really impressed with this Gremlins figure. NECA has done other figures from the Gremlins movies but this one really sets the bar high for any other figures out there on the market today. The joints are crafted in a way that reduces wear so putting the figure in numerous poses will not diminish the tension necessary to hold the pose. I just wish that the feet were styled in a way that would allow it to stand on its own and not with the help of the stand. From the sheer amount of articulation points to the highly detailed sculpt to the movie accurate paint job, this figure is definitely worthy of a place on your display shelf.
This review is based on a product provided by NECA. | 2019-04-19T22:31:26 | http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/2016/03/25/review-neca-bat-gremlin/ |
In this edition of Insights, the Strategic Investment Team breaks from our normal format to focus on the outlook for the coming year.
In our year-end letter last week, we emphasized the futility of predicting, and made the distinction between this black art and disciplined investing. Despite this prudent advice, we cannot resist pulling out our crystal ball in this first week of 2017 to provide our best guesses for the year that lies ahead.
A slowly rising Fed Fund rates will favor short duration bond portfolios over the broader bond market and will offer opportunity to pick up higher yields going forward.
Equities will face two opposing forces: the downward pressure of above-average valuation and the tailwind of investors exiting bonds.
Additional uncertainty will come from continued tweet-targeting of Individual companies and sectors by the incoming president.
In this environment, we believe active management is going to be increasingly important.
The best part of predictions is going back a year later to see just how far off you were. Last year Alan Leist III spearheaded our market predictions. He correctly predicted we would avoid a recession, the Fed would tighten a bit and we would experience a prolonged but fleeting slump (February definitely qualified). His prediction for the S&P 500 was +12%. Sadly he was way off here, as the index closed up +11.98%. Better luck next year Alan.
Coming off a solid yet volatile economic year in 2016, we take a look at the potential economic drivers for the year ahead.
The Federal Reserve responded to market weakness early last year by once again kicking the can down the road. They were expected to raise interest rates three times last year but instead raised it only once at year end. Multiple rate increase are again forecast this year, but implementation will continue to depend on unemployment, inflation and perhaps the market.
The Donald trumped presidential politics and won the election on a protectionist platform with promises of steep tax cuts. The market rallied on his win with the S&P 500 up over 6% since the election. Promises of tax cuts and higher infrastructure spend could be a ‘huge’ fiscal stimulus to the economy, leading to higher GDP growth.
The surprise decision of the British to leave the European Union may be the beginning of a trend for other European countries to adopt the same protectionist policies. The ‘populist’ decision may stop the flow of migration to the United Kingdom which would protect middle-class jobs but may adversely affect GDP. If other countries follow suit, global trade could come under pressure.
Most companies will directly benefit from a lower corporate tax rate and less regulation. Coal and Oil & Gas companies, for example, have been highly regulated by the Environment Protection Agency and will benefit from less regulation. Renewable energy companies on the other hand will lose as they no longer enjoy the political incentives that encourage clean energy.
Companies who rely on cheap imports from places such as China and Mexico will face headwinds as protectionist tariffs increase.
Inflation will finally pick up as import taxes and fiscal stimulus lead to higher prices. A tightening labor market will enable employees to have more bargaining power and therefore higher wages.
The Federal Reserve will monitor the above dynamics in deciding whether to raise interest rates. Consensus expectations are for them to raise rates three times this year but we predict fewer.
Shale oil producers will once again flood the oil market after OPEC nations cut production in line with their quotas. The price of oil will start the year moving higher only to fall in an oversupplied market.
Declaration of Article 50 lead by British Prime Minister Theresa May, initiating Brexit.
Elections in France, where Marine Le Pen, the leader of the anti-immigrant National Front Party, has a shot to win.
German elections might replace Chancellor Angela Merkel. Top candidate is leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) Sigmar Gabriel.
An election for a new Prime Minister of Italy, as Matteo Renzi has resigned after the country voted against government reform referendum. Maybe this time Beppe Grillo the actor/comedian and leader of the Five Star Movement party will take the top job.
Elections in Netherlands, where anti-immigration parties have picked up a lot of support.
Iranian presidential election, which can trigger more headaches over nuclear deal with U.S. Current front runner is Hassan Rouhani, the incumbent.
The Olympic Committee will decide where 2024 Summer Olympics will be held. The three candidates are Los Angeles, Budapest and Paris.
There were a number of positive economic events last year that helped equity markets to push through new highs. The positive momentum might persist through this year but surly not without roadblocks. With uncertainty of how a new administration delivers on its agenda, we expect volatility to offer more rebalancing opportunities than 2016.
Expectations for higher rates have sent fixed income yields higher. The market is expecting 2 to 3 rate hikes this year, and if the Fed sticks with their plan the 10-Year Treasury might finally push through the 3% yield level. Any surprises to the economic data or inflation, could result in aggressive bond selling.
In 2016, the U.S. Dollar had a strong rally as the economy improved faster than other developed markets. With a more protectionist bent and expectations of a stronger economy in the U.S., we expect further strength in the dollar. Be ready for plenty of retaliatory action from other global players as they try to maintain the standing of their own currency.
Our bottom up work kept us out of high-flying Information Technology and social media names, whose valuations offered us little margin of safety. While our focus on valuation and quality steered us toward the Industrial space where global giants were under appreciated.
The top Stock was Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) while McKesson Corp. (MCK) came in last.
2016’s Stock Spotlight: Hain Celestial Group (HAIN 12/31/15 $40.39, 12/30/16 $40.42) did not achieve our hefty expectations. An accounting procedure review halted an impressive run and eliminated the possibility of a takeover by a traditional packaged food company (at least in 2016).
2017 Stock Spotlight: LKQ Corp. (LKQ) is a company that provides aftermarket car parts to repair shops. With a snow-filled winter and an increase in distracted driving, we see positive catalysts for earnings growth (besides the company has “Quality” in its name).
Even though the Telecom and Energy sectors provided stronger returns, it is the sheer size of the Financial sector that was responsible for driving the performance in the strategy.
Top Stock was Spectra Energy (SE) while CVS Corp. (CVS) came in last.
2016’s Stock Spotlight: BB&T Bancorp (BBT 12/31/15 $36.61, 12/30/16 $47.02) while not our top performer it was in the top ten. The entire bank space received a welcomed boost in the latter part of the year, as higher interest rates and hopes for a stronger economy and reduced regulatory burden allowed a cheap sector to catch up with the market’s valuation.
2017 Stock Spotlight: CVS Caremark Corp. (CVS) the pharmacy and pharmacy benefit management (PBM) company faced many headwinds in 2016. We see the company shaking off the subscriber losses and a stronger competitor in Walgreens (WBA) while it integrates its two most recent acquisitions in Omnicare and Target Pharmacies. The company has already increased its dividend by 18% and authorized an $18 Billion 5-year share buyback program. | 2019-04-18T18:58:39 | https://investstrategic.com/resource-hub/insights/2017-road-ahead/ |
The fighters for tomorrow night’s UFC 113 event in Montreal, Canada have now successfully weighed in.
Both Lyoto Machida and Mauricio Rua looked in determined mood as they weighed in for their rematch which will serve as the main event of the card.
It’s normally the case at the weigh-ins that there are certain ‘villains’ who get booed soundly by the crowd. Rarely does it happen to two fighters in the same bout though, but that proved to be the case in the co-main event between Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley, with neither fighter enjoying much love from the crowd.
Elsewhere Matt Mitrione was also not a crowd favorite, while Machida received a mixed response at best with some notable boos. By contrast both their opponents, Shogun and Kimbo Slice were cheered, along with the numerous Canadian fighters, with a special welcome being given to Patrick Cote.
One of the most notable talking point of the weigh-ins though was perhaps the apparent animosity between former Ultimate Fighter season 10 competitors Kimbo Slice and Matt Mitrione who indulged in an intense staredown and then continued to eyeball each other from a distance.
Stealing the limelight though was Tom Lawlor who this time came in looking like legendary former UFC champ Dan Severn, complete with a moustache and mimicking his mannerisms perfectly.

The author analyses the characteristics of Chilean Municipalities in the period 1930-1983. He verifies the systematic erosion of functions and responsabilities untrusted to the local governments while at the same time the state apparatus grew up considerably. The Municipal reform carried out in 1983 by the military government attempted to correct this situation so to enhance the political control of communities by local authorities. An important expansion of Municipal incomes occurs, but enormous differences between rich and poor communes persist.

It's funny, but for me the following seems to be a recurring theme: Every few months or years I end up with a host of files on my server that need pruning selectively and often under program control. Today I realized that my SQL Server logs on my server were really piling up and nearly ran my backup drive out of drive space. So occasionally I need to check on that server drive and clean out files.
The source code is up there along with the binary file you can just run.
It's pretty easy to create a simple utility like DeleteFiles of course, so I'm not going to spend any talking about how it works. You can check it out in the repository or download and compile it. The nice thing about using a full programming language like C over something like PowerShell or batch file is that you can make short work of the recursive tree walking that's required to make this work.
There's very little code, but there's also a very small, self-contained command line parser in there that might be useful that can be plugged into any project - I've been using it quite a bit for just about any Console application I've been building.
Anyway, hope some of you might find this useful.
forfiles /P c:\Windows\Temp /S /D -7 /C "cmd /c del @path"
forfiles /P c:\Windows\Temp /S /D -7 /C "cmd /c del /f @path"
@David - yeah I use a custom Explorer shell myself (xPlorer2) and it can do this sort of find/delete interactively real easily too (although it doesn't extend the command line commands). But I tend to use this sort of thing on my servers and I don't want to install anything extra there.
@Will - crap! I ran into ForFiles when I was looking for a solution last actually, but decided not to go that route because I thought (and the article I read said) it's part of the Windows SDK which is always a pain to install and keep updated. Looks like it's moved into the main Windows distribution which is sweet. Will definitely look at that for future stuff. Thanks for the reminder!
Forfiles looks helpful, but still not what I needed. I have a similar deleter that doesn't have much of a command line parser, but it uses the pipeline filter pattern to easily add in more filters (we needed files beginning with numeric, files whose names were guids, etc.).
I used to raise my eyebrows at powershell too, but I have to say, I've started to really dig it.
Of course one of the huge benefits is that you can use the -WhatIf parameter and have powershell tell you what it *would* delete without actually doing it. That's pretty slick.
This utility worked great. I needed something to clean up lots of old text files on a regular basis. I tried the forfiles .. but that performed much slower. So slow in fact that the windows scheduler killed the job.
Aaron - yes it does normal command prompt wildcards for file selection. And of course you can run it multiple times for varying combinations of deletions if necessary.
I tried using your utility (the binary) on Windows 8 64 bit and Windows gave me an error on compatibility with 64 bit versions of Windows.
@Marcio - Any more specifics on the error? I run it on 64 bit here and on my server so pretty sure that works, unless there's a problem with Anti-Virus or other system protection software interfering.
If you have more info can you file an issue in the GitHub repo, please? Thanks.
I'm looking for a solution where I can use the '*' char in the middle of the pathname, like below.
Does this tool work with this?
No that's not supported - wildcards can't be applied to folders only to the file filter.
Can I specify multiple file specifications, like **.bak; .bak2 etc.
Love the app, great to see people coding C rather than scripting. Is there any way to have this tool loop thru and delete any empty folders without deleting any files?
Thought i could do like deletefiles.exe d:\folder -f but it doesn't do anything. | 2019-04-25T02:22:29 | https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2012/Nov/30/A-Small-Utility-to-Delete-Files-recursively-by-Date |
Hanukkah Menorah Craft Using Recycled Cereal Box Cardboard!
I have been busy making the cutest Hanukkah menorahs ever, using cereal box cardboard and a template that I'm planning to have in my shop any day now. The month before Hanukkah is always super crazy for me, and while the template isn't 100% ready, I did want to put the idea out there for those who are thinking about getting serious with the holiday preparations.
These cardboard menorahs can be made in a few sizes and they are equally great as centerpieces or displayed around the house. I have a bunch on my piano right now and it looks fabulous!
And if you'd like to make a cardboard menorah that is larger than a cereal box, well I did that too, using chip board, and the results are so much fun!
If you'd like me to shoot you an email when the template and tutorial are in my shop, just leave me a comment and I'll be more than happy to do so! | 2019-04-21T20:52:28 | https://www.creativejewishmom.com/2015/11/hanukkah-menorah-craft-using-recycled-cereal-box-cardboard.html |

“How To Starve Your Way To Health” adorns the cover of this month’s Harper’s magazine and I took it as a call to act. I haven’t said much about fasting—intermittent or otherwise—because I know there’s a lot right about it. By right, I mean healthy. But I know there’s something very wrong too. Until recently, I didn’t know what, only a non-scientific, experience-based something.
The Harper’s article covers the history and basics of long term fasting, which has done several people, including the Harper-article’s author, a good turn, just as intermittent fasting (IF) does for its users. Although long-term fasting interests me, it’s a side note compared with IF which interests a lot more people, including regular visitors to the Body.IO Forums.
I was skeptical of IF before ever trying it. Not because of the claims; not because the entire idea hinges on a solitary, poorly researched physiological reaction; not because it wasn’t my own pet project. I was skeptical because I’m a scientist and IF had no long-term studies dealing with body composition changes. Any claims—good or bad—needed investigating, not codifying.
What piqued my interest in IF in the first place is it’s similarity to Carb Back-Loading. When I was developing the Carb Backloading (CBL) protocol, I first learned about IF from the book The Warrior Diet by Ori Hofmekler. The gist of the similarity: CBL might be optimized intermittent fasting, or IF might accelerate CBL results. Either IF is CBL taken to its logical conclusion (not eating anything all day certainly means your carb count stayed below the maximum threshold), or CBL is a refinement of IF.
IF misses—as did the author of the Harper’s article—the fact that metabolically fasting works because of the absence of carbohydrates, not simply the absence of food. When you strip carbs from the diet, lipolysis (the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids) skyrockets and lipogenesis (the re-esterification of fatty acids and glycerine into triglycerides) are stunted. Lipolysis means fat cells get empty, lipogenesis means full. These two processes occur constantly and simultaneously, regulated by insulin. High insulin drives lipogenesis; low, lipolysis. Remove carbs—and the resulting insulin spike—and the switch flips, increasing lipolysis over lipogenesis[1-2].
Carbs and insulin even spark the metabolism caused during refeeding if carbs or calories have been restricted for prolonged periods. It’s not food in general, but the carbs perform the metabolic magic[3-19]. Try intermittent fasting with protein-and-fat-only refeedings and you’ll see what I mean or check the research. Better yet, do both so that experience makes the facts more salient.
It appears as though carbs play sinner and saint. It all depends on when you use them.
Research definitely shows a GH response that occurs during a 24 to 36 hours fast. Arguably, this effect spawned the resurgence of IF in the modern era (fasting, intermittently or otherwise, gained some popularity back in the 1960s).
We can trace today’s variant to a 1988 paper (yes, I put the link because I want you to read it). Note how responsive volunteers were to growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) at 8A.M., pre-feeding and that this response existed independent of the fed or fasted state. This is identical to the GH spike that follows the early A.M. rise in ghrelin (which is the most potent natural GH secretagogue of which we know[21-23]), if you forgo early-morning carbs[24-27].
The missing ingredient—or overlooked ingredient—again is the absence of carbs, not just the absence of food.
None of the research demonstrating the increased GH secretion—which can be two-fold normal—tests more than a week of IF’ing[28-32]. Studies done on sports performance during Ramadan* show that any advantages abate within a four week period and, in general, sports performance decreases[33-38]. So it is possible that whatever advantage the GH burst does produce subsides over time, especially metabolic, for which direct supporting research does exist.
Don’t be rash and dismiss IF yet. Lots of people see results with IF, but adherents only observe certain things in themselves while living free. Without a controlled experiment, or reliable measuring device, these results only give us questions that need answering.
If we should realize anything about our status as human, it’s that being human means noticing anything—however trivial or disconnected—that supports our expectations and ignoring everything that doesn’t. It’s called belief bias and we all do it, even physicists.
Sir Francis Bacon developed our current framework of the scientific method in his Novum Organum for the simple reason that he lacked trust even in his own judgment. He needed a bullet-proof process to prevent fooling himself into false beliefs. His solution: the scientific method of observe, hypothesize, experiment, confirm or deny, and start over by observing anew. If only we were all so wise.
What I have yet to share, what forced me to discover the scientific something that is wrong with IF, is my own trial with intermittent fasting. But this article has gone on long enough, it’s 2 in the morning and I present at a conference this weekend for which I have yet to prepare. I’ll save my experience, my discovery and a full critique of IF for the next few articles.
I will leave you with this, however, the reason I don’t recommend IF: it is very definitely anti-anabolic—that’s right, prevents muscle growth.

Description: Shell space fit out included faculty office advising space, student study space, staff restroom and lobby cafe. Electrical, HVAC and fire alarm installations and upgrades to existing systems were required to support the newly configured spaces. These installations and upgrades included audio/visual equipment, additional electrical outlets and connections to emergency generators. The project provided increased chilled water capacity with the addition of an electric centrifugal chiller. Upgrades associated with chiller included upgrade of exhaust ventilation fan, electrical conductor and breaker upgrades, piping and upgrades to air handling equipment.
Description: During the grant period we made detailed studies of the dynamics of two level tunneling systems in glasses at very low temperature and by the application of AC and DC electric fields. Models have been developed that now account for both the formation and subsequent breaking of resonant tunneling pairs, and strongly bound pairs in a swept electric field. Perhaps most importantly, we saw a critical field in the polymeric glass Mylar, beyond which recovery following the application of a strong electric field is substantially modified from the predictions of current models. It was essential during the final grant period to see how general these new properties were by testing for them in a new and broader set of glasses. At the same time, the discovery that tunneling systems with nuclei possessing electric quadrupole moments that couple the TS behavior to magnetic fields was studied in this laboratory, using some of the probes that we alone employ. Finally, we were developing our own dielectric pulsed echo system, operating for the first time at the low energy splittings and hence temperatures at which interactions between TS are important. We combined this technique with the sudden application of both electric and strain fields to better understand the dynamics of the response of TS in glasses on a much shorter time scale than is possible with our established probes.
Inspection Report on "Employment Verification at Savannah River Site"
Description: We conducted a review at the Savannah River Site to determine if Site subcontractors verified the employment status of all employees in accordance with Federal requirements and, if unauthorized individuals accessed the site. During our field work, we reviewed 600 I-9 Forms from 21 subcontractors to verify whether Site subcontractors were using the I-9 Forms; and if the forms were accurate and complete. We also conducted a judgmental sample of individuals who accessed the Site during a six-month period to determine if there were any documentation anomalies.

Description: The Community Assessment Tool (CAT) for Public Health Emergencies Including Pandemic Influenza (hereafter referred to as the CAT) was developed as a result of feedback received from several communities. These communities participated in workshops focused on influenza pandemic planning and response. The 2008 through 2011 workshops were sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Feedback during those workshops indicated the need for a tool that a community can use to assess its readiness for a disaster—readiness from a total healthcare perspective, not just hospitals, but the whole healthcare system. The CAT intends to do just that—help strengthen existing preparedness plans by allowing the healthcare system and other agencies to work together during an influenza pandemic. It helps reveal each core agency partners' (sectors) capabilities and resources, and highlights cases of the same vendors being used for resource supplies (e.g., personal protective equipment [PPE] and oxygen) by the partners (e.g., public health departments, clinics, or hospitals). The CAT also addresses gaps in the community's capabilities or potential shortages in resources. While the purpose of the CAT is to further prepare the community for an influenza pandemic, its framework is an extension of the traditional all-hazards approach to planning and preparedness. As such, the information gathered by the tool is useful in preparation for most widespread public health emergencies. This tool is primarily intended for use by those involved in healthcare emergency preparedness (e.g., community planners, community disaster preparedness coordinators, 9-1-1 directors, hospital emergency preparedness coordinators). It is divided into sections based on the core agency partners, which may be involved in the community's influenza pandemic influenza response.

Description: Wyoming has a wealth of primary energy resources in the forms of coal, natural gas, wind, uranium, and oil shale. Most of Wyoming?s coal and gas resources are exported from the state in unprocessed form rather than as refined higher value products. Wyoming?s leadership recognizes the opportunity to broaden the state?s economic base energy resources to make value-added products such as synthetic vehicle fuels and commodity chemicals. Producing these higher value products in an environmentally responsible manner can benefit from the use of clean energy technologies including Wyoming?s abundant wind energy and nuclear energy such as new generation small modular reactors including the high temperature gas-cooled reactors.

Moong daal is a very common lenil soup prepared in many Indian homes with each family having their own unique recipe depending on the region of India they are from. This moong daal recipe is one that I learnt from my Mom, and she lived all over India – for all I know this moong daal recipe is a smorgasbord of flavors from all parts of India. She grew up in Northern India, lived in Western India after marriage, and is originally from Southern India.
Moong daal is a lentil soup made with dried moong beans and spices. Dried moong beans are available in two forms – with the green skin left on or with the skin removed which turns the moong lentil a pale yellow in color. In this recipe I made my moong daal with whole dried green moong lentils.
When I make moog daal I typically serve it with quinoa or rice along with a side of green beans or a cabbage saute. Moong daal can also be served as a steaming bowl of soup.
2 cups cooked moong lentils. I used a pressure cooker to cook the lentils but you can easily cook the dry lentils on the stove by following the package directions. The lentils should be super tender like soft butter.
In a pot heat 2 tbsp oil. Add the cumin seeds and brown slightly for 5 seconds. Add asafoetida powder and mix into oil for 2-3 seconds (do not burn the spice). Next add onions and ginger and sauté until onions are translucent about 2-3 minutes.
Add all the spices and fry in the onions for 2-3 seconds. Add tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes for the tomatoes to become tender.
Next add cooked moong daal, salt, 2-3 cups water and chopped spinach. Cook for additional 5 minutes until hot and bubbly. Turn the stove off.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and stir in juice of 1 lemon. Moong daal is ready. | 2019-04-20T21:10:50 | https://surreyfarms.net/2019/04/14/moong-daal-moong-bean-lentils-cooked-in-indian-spices/ |

However, there’s one type of revenue source that we haven’t discussed yet, and it may be a great strategy to fill many of your slow daytime hours: Hosting athletic-themed preschool programs.
Steady, recurring revenue is important for any sports academy, but it’s essential for those who operate their own spaces. Whether these businesses have constructed their own buildings, purchased them, or are leasing them exclusively, owners are on the hook for big overhead costs every single month. They’re also trying to ride out seasonal changes in demand for practice space and programming. Both of these factors lead to the kind of cash flow struggles that can shut sports facilities down. (Related: Managing Cash Flow at Your Sports Academy).
Parents looking for child care usually need services for several hours each day (much more than the hour or two of classes you’d typically be trying to fill) and for several months at a time. A preschool or child care program could book up a majority of your turf, floor or studio space during your slow hours.
Have some reservations about pivoting your brand and business model to host what seems like a very different service for half of the day? Don’t worry. Hosting preschool programs doesn’t have to be a huge commitment, and it can be tied in with the rest of your brand and mission.
As fitness and athletics professionals, you know all about the enormous value of physical movement for kids and adults alike. Physical and sensory experiences are also extremely important for children under age 6.
As any parent knows, there are plenty of times in small children’s development where movement is paramount. At various points, kids are laser-focused on learning how to roll, crawl, walk, balance, and jump. Plenty of families recognize how important this aspect of development is, and they’re looking for care options that take it seriously.
Plus, many parents of older preschoolers would love the chance to expose their kids to things like tumbling, martial arts, dance, and beginner sports. If these experiences are rolled into their daily care, that’s a big perk — especially when the instruction is coming from credentialed staff.
If you brand your preschool as a good fit for high-energy kids who love to move, you may reach a demographic that isn’t getting their needs met elsewhere. Current member families who already trust your facility and staff will be especially happy to bring their smaller children in for a few hours during the day.
It’s not necessary to host preschool for the entirety of traditional school hours, or even every day. Many families start their children out in preschool just a few days a week for as little as 2.5 hours.
And thanks to the gig economy and growing work-from-home job opportunities, more parents need part-time care on a more flexible basis. That opens up an even easier option for you: Invite parents to stay on site and get work done while their children play. Laws regulating child care can be extensive and vary by state, but many have few regulations for child care options where the parents stays on site. That’s why places like churches and fitness facilities often offer more casual and flexible child care options.
If you have a comfortable lobby area with a few tables, you may be able to basically convert your sports academy into a coworking space with childcare for several hours in the morning.
Despite the potential for this idea to be a big help to your business, it’s certainly not to be taken lightly, and it won’t be a good fit for every sports academy.
Your company may also be particularly suited to adapt to programming for small children if it’s already family-friendly. In particular, tumbling facilities (or fitness spaces that offer a tumbling or dance program for little ones) have typically already invested in mats, tunnels, and tools for large-motor physical play.
But if your gym can’t be childproofed, for example, hosting preschool won’t work. If you have an especially intense brand geared toward older athletes, you’ll have to be careful not to corrupt that brand. And if you want to pursue a type of child care where children are dropped off for longer periods of time, you’ll certainly be subject to a host of regulations and laws that you may not be prepared to take on.
Regardless of your unique situation, consult with your lawyer and make sure that you’re insured for this type of activity.
You’ll may also need to make a few new hires if you don’t have anyone qualified on your staff, which is always a big investment of your time and energy. However, if you have staffers who love kids and are familiar with the needs of younger ones, it can be a great way to give them lots of more reliable hours. Your staffers should already be trained in first aid and CPR, which is another marketing point for parents looking for child care.

In the early morning hours of June 12, 2016, a deranged gunman entered into a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida and massacred 50 patrons and wounding another 53. It was a horrific act of violence apparently directed at the LGBT community.
During an evening worship service on the very same day at Verity Baptist Church, a pastor condoned and even praised the mass murders. When I read some of the text of the message, it grieved me greatly that a supposed messenger of the Lord would preach such a vitriolic and venomous message.
I was unable to hear the sermon since it was removed from YouTube for violating its policy on hate speech. However, I believe these quotes are reliable since they come from a variety of sources quoting the sermon.
Those of us who have been called to preach make mistakes from the pulpit. None of us preach and teach ex cathedra (Latin for “from the chair” meaning papal infallibility). I recently got the age of TV personality, Gary Moore, mixed up with the rocker, Gary Moore. That was a mistake.
Advocating the death of those who perished in the night club is not just a mistake. It is a sin.
God has revealed verity (truth) to us through His Word about our relationship with sinners. It should be the same as His.
God does hate sin. In Proverbs 6, God says that there are seven things He hates, all dealing with sin, which also has to do with people since sin is an act of a person. However, God is also very clear about how He feels about the people who sin (which includes you, me, the aforementioned pastor and everyone in the club).
John 3:16 resounds with God’s love for a world full of people who are lost in their sinfulness. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” proclaiming the verity that Jesus died for sinners. Jesus, Himself, said that “Greater love has no one than this that one lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13).
It seems rather obvious that God loves sinners and wants them to have the opportunity to repent. That opportunity perishes with death. God even declared through His Word that He “is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9).
We should all be appalled at what transpired in Orlando, Florida. The mass murders sicken the heart. Our prayers should go out to the family and friends of those who died and those who are recovering from their physical injuries along with their emotional wounded-ness.
We should also pray for Verity Baptist Church. They are our brothers and sisters in Christ. I hope that they would live up to their name and dwell in the verity. May God bless them with Jesus’ humility, holy love and truth.
One more thing… there but for the grace of God go I. | 2019-04-24T16:34:33 | http://www.evergreensgv.org/pastor-corys-blog/2016/6/16/not-very-verity |
We've recently installed a new firewall on our network and configured it to sync time with two different internet NTP sources. The firewall's clock drifts up to one second when pulling time every 30 minutes. The vendor says this drift is normal, but that doesn't sound right to me. How accurate does the law say time has to be if we ever tried to prosecute a hacker?
I could not find a specific answer. However, I can't believe that being off by only a second during the time pull would make a difference in prosecution.
While possible unrelated; I did find this pdf document with good information on blocking rules and logging; with a snippit of information about rules for prosecution.
boss , why don't you decrease the sync period . That is make the sync more frequently . You know where to reconfigure that ?
The most important thing for your logs is that they are internally consistent both within a computer and across multiple machines. Drift is not a major problem (and expected in most systems).
If your environment has a very rigorous security requirement (not just a regular office), you can purchase an external clock device to provide a common, accurate clock that you can use across all of your computers.
Also, the source of a lot of the drift is AC power cycle variations. Going to DC power will likely keep the clock more accurate... though your milage may vary based on the design of the devices. | 2019-04-19T15:27:12 | https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/accurate-time/ |
Even though his attorney swears he’s cooperating in every way he possibly can with Congressional investigators looking into Russian interference with the 2016 election, it now looks as if senior White House adviser Jared Kushner will have to appear before yet another Senate committee.
Kushner’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, told CNN that his client will “do it again” if the Judiciary Committee does indeed request that he appear before them. But there’s a danger in such a scenario: If Kushner deviates from what he told the Intelligence Committee in the slightest, he could open himself up to a charge of perjury and increase the pressure building on him from a separate — and much more serious — probe being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
So while Kushner may pretend to be eager to help the Senate committees engaged in their ongoing investigations, every single time he sits down and gives testimony, the risk of his walking into a trap of his own creation grows. And the only way out of that legal bind will be for him to turn on his father-in-law. No matter where he turns, the options remaining for Jared are bad and worse. | 2019-04-24T18:23:52 | http://deepleftfield.info/senate-judiciary-committee-gives-jared-kushner-some-very-bad-news-about-his-future/ |
