10,001,400 | olese people in their heart language.
Aren’t you worried about taking your kids overseas? Snakes? Kidnappers? The heat? Food? EVERYTHING!??? Not Really… we trust how the Lord is leading us. We trust that He has good plans for us and our children.
What mission agency are you going with and why? We are serving with ABWE, the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism. Our reasoning is pretty simple: This is the avenue we feel the Lord leading us to the field! He has confirmed this through His word, people, and His Spirit.
What ministries do you anticipate doing/joining? Primarily, our focus is to help start and run an infant orphan ministry as orphanage directors. The model will work to place children ages 0-2 with believing Togolese families who will raise them to be the next generation of Christian leaders. However, there is much research and groundwork to be done before this ministry is active and fully functioning. In the meantime, we also hope to engage in training pastors, their wives, and other leaders for effective ministry and discipleship.
How did you hear about this ministry? While serving on a short term mission trip in Ghana, we heard that ABWE was looking for orphanage directors. Through several situations/circumstances in our lives, we knew God was leading us in this direction. We aren’t entirely sure how this ministry will play out, but our hearts are to serve in children’s ministry, particularly with those kids who are most vulnerable, and we are anticipating the Lord to do great things!
How do you receive support? Through ministry partners. Partners (whether churches or individuals) can give monthly, quarterly, or annually to partner with us. We believe that all of our financial support comes from God as He leads others to give and join our partnership team. We hope people never feel pressured to give financially, though! Prayer support is even more critical than financial support.
Why didn’t you choose to serve with the IMB or other similar agencies that fully fund you? Great question! When we heard about the opportunity to serve in this capacity in Togo, we felt peace that this was how God was leading us. It was a little scary at first (for Melissa) to have to engage in partnership development/support raising… but now that we’ve been in it for a while, we love it | [

10,001,401 | . It is so fun sharing our stories with people who are equally excited about what the Lord is doing in our lives and around the world. We love engaging in life and deepening relationships with people. And if we had chosen to serve (or felt lead to serve) with a mission agency that fully funds us, we would honestly miss this aspect of things. We like building those deep, intentional, one-on-one relationships. Additionally, the IMB does not fully fund missionaries who work in orphan ministry, so if we had chosen to serve with them, we would still be raising our own support.
Where do the funds given, go? Funds go to our ABWE account. Money is given to ABWE, who funnels those funds into our account to meet our needs (salary, insurance, kids education, etc.). We do not currently draw any of those funds to meet our needs on prefield. While that may need to happen in the future, God is providing financially for us through Melissa’s job.
What are your experiences/qualifications? Besides salvation and giftings of the Holy Spirit, God has prepared us for this ministry in various ways. We both have experience teaching all age groups (from children to senior adults), have practiced hospitality, and previously oversaw the nursery ministry at our sending church. Melissa’s job experience as a Business Systems Analyst will help with running the “business” side of the orphanage and Allen’s degree in Christian Ministry will help with all aspects of teaching, leading, and overseeing ministry opportunities.
Have you been to Seminary? No. We have not been to Seminary, nor does ABWE require seminary for the ministry we’ll be doing in Togo. However, we have engaged in fruitful and effective ministry here in the United States (and abroad!) since the early 2000s. Moving to another country does not negate how the Lord can and will use us, with or without seminary. All that to say, if we felt Him leading one or both of us in the future to attend seminary, we absolutely would!
How will you educate your children? We anticipate homeschooling our children, but if opportunities arise for our kids to attend a local missionary kid (MK) school, then we would explore that option. Along those lines, if you have any leftover homeschool curriculum, we’d love to take it off your hands! | [

10,001,402 | Tractor trailer accidents involve complex issues and require knowledge of Federal Regulations applicable to trucking companies. In order to win you need to prove that the truck driver or trucking company was negligent. Negligence is defined as the truck driver’s failure to use reasonable care that a careful and prudent truck driver would use in the same or similar circumstances.
Trucks that carry goods between states are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration which promulgates regulations that truck drivers and trucking companies are required to follow. You can make a convincing case of negligence to a jury if you can prove not only that the truck driver was negligent in the manner her drove his the truck, but also if he violated one of the many federal regulations governing the conduct of truck drivers.
* Drivers may drive up to 11 hours instead of 10 hours, but are limited to 14 hours in a duty period.
* The 14-hour duty period may not be extended with off-duty time for meal and fuel stops, etc. Only the use of a sleeper berth can extend the 14-hour on-duty period.
* Each duty period must begin with at least ten hours off-duty, rather than eight.
* The 60 hours on-duty in 7 consecutive days, or 70 hours on-duty in 8 consecutive days, remains the same, but drivers can “restart” the 7/8- day period by taking at least 34 consecutive hours off-duty.
* The driver does not drive after the 14th hour after coming on duty following 10 hours off-duty, where the 14th hour is calculated by: (A) Excluding any sleeper berth period of at least 2 hours which, when added to a subsequent sleeper berth period, totals at least 10 hours; and (B) Including all on-duty time, all off-duty time not spent in the sleeper berth, all sleeper berth periods of less than 2 hours, and any sleeper berth period not described in paragraph 3(A).
When a truck accident occurs the first thing an experienced truck accident attorney will do is have an investigator go to the scene to make sure physical evidence such as skid marks, locations of debris is preserved and inspect and photograph the vehicles invalid so the cause of the accident can be reconstructed by an accident reconstructionist. Once that is done a letter should be sent to the trucking company requesting that any black box data be preserved, as well as GPS data and the truck | [

With this information you once a law suit is filed you will have the information necessary to prove whether the truck driver violated the hours of service regulations, whether the driver falsified his logs but putting done times he rested when the electronic data proves he was actually driving and whether the trucking company was purposely ignoring these false entries.
One of the key to winning any case tried to a jury is to get the jury to side with your client. If you can show not only that the truck driver was negligent in the operation of his truck but also that he falsified his log book and his employer knew it, the jury is more likely to award a large verdict, or the insurance company will pay more to settle the case. That is why you are involved in a trucking accident, you should hire an experienced trucking accident lawyer like Jeff Lowe of the Lowe Law Firm. We work on a contingency basis and only charge you a fee if we recover for you. We also advance all expenses and only recover them if we win for you. | [

10,001,404 | O. M. G. If I were to ask you, how patriotic do you think the state of Michigan is, what would you say?
Let's say, on a scale of 1-50... 1 is the MOST patriotic state and 50 is the LEAST patriotic state. Where do you think Michigan falls?
WalletHub ranked all 50 states, based on patriotism and I just ASSUMED that Michigan would be in the Top 10. Fish said we'd be at about 14 out of 50 and Steve thought we'd fall right in the middle.
SUPPOSEDLY, we, the state of Michigan, ARE THE 43RD MOST PATRIOTIC STATE. That means, there are only 6 states that are LESS patriotic than we are.
All 3 of us are born and raised Michiganders. We all went to Michigan K-12 and colleges. Between the 3 of us, we've love ALL OVER the great Mitten state! How could we be THAT WRONG?
What do you think? Does being the 43rd most patriotic state sound about right to you or would you think we'd be higher or lower? | [

10,001,405 | Where are the miracles, signs, and wonders in the church? Where are the greater works Jesus said we would do? Many believers are genuinely hungry for a move of God but have lost hope of ever experiencing it. The good news is the Ark is returning, and with it all the miracles, signs and wonders that have been waylaid. The Ark has been on a journey since its capture by the Philistines. Each stop in its journey in 1 & 2 Samuel is a picture of the different moves of God throughout the years. | [

10,001,406 | With the majority of seating located in the large single tier bowl, the Sideline sections are the place to be for the best views at a Michigan football game. Fans will have great views to both ends of the field thanks to the highly sought after sideline viewing angles.
Michigan Stadium is also referred to as the Big House due to the large seating capacity, but this also applies to the size of each section. There are up to 98 rows of seating in each section here, starting with Rows A-B at the front, then followed by numbered rows behind. On the east sideline (Sections 1-4, 42-44) entry tunnels are located at Rows 56 and 74, while the west sideline (Sections 20-26) only has tunnels at Row 72.
On the west sideline, fans can find a rare feature at the stadium as chairback seating is available in Rows 85 and higher in Sections 22-24, as well as in half of Rows 85 and higher in Sections 21 and 25. | [

The Championship season kicked off with Wednesday going down 3-2 at Wigan in an entertaining encounter over the Pennines.
And Luhukay acceded to the fact that improvement is required when the curtain rises at Hillsborough next Saturday.
He said: “I think it is true that we have to do better than what we saw today. This is not the kind of performance we have been building up in the weeks we have had together in pre-season.
“In the defence we allowed more shots today than many of the game last season.
“We did okay going forward, more so in the second half, and we could have got an equaliser. | [

Patients currently on hydrochlorothiazide: Initial dose if blood pressure is not currently controlled on monotherapy of 25 mg once daily: Telmisartan 80 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg once daily or telmisartan 80 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg once daily; may titrate up to telmisartan 160 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg if blood pressure remains uncontrolled after 2-4 weeks of therapy. Patients who develop hypokalemia while on hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg may be switched to telmisartan 80 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg.
Refer to adult dosing. Monitor renal function.
Clcr >30 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary.
Clcr ≤30 mL/minute: Not recommended.
Mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment or biliary obstructive disorders: Initial: Telmisartan 40 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg.
• Electrolyte disturbances: Hyperkalemia may occur with angiotensin II receptor antagonists; risk factors include renal dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, and concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, and/or potassium-containing salts. Use cautiously, if at all, with these agents and monitor potassium closely. Thiazide diuretics may cause hypokalemia, hypochloremic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, and hyponatremia.
• Ocular effects: Hydrochlorothiazide may cause acute transient myopia and acute angle-closure glaucoma, typically occurring within hours to weeks following initiation; discontinue therapy immediately in patients with acute decreases in visual acuity or ocular pain. Risk factors may include a history of sulfonamide or penicillin allergy.
• Renal function deterioration: May be associated with deterioration of renal function and/or increases in serum creatinine, particularly in patients with low renal blood flow (eg, renal artery stenosis | [

Small increases in serum creatinine may occur following initiation; consider discontinuation only in patients with progressive and/or significant deterioration in renal function.
• Sulfa allergy: Chemical similarities are present among sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, thiazides, and loop diuretics (except ethacrynic acid). Use in patients with sulfonamide allergy is specifically contraindicated in product labeling, however, a risk of cross-reaction exists in patients with allergy to any of these compounds; avoid use when previous reaction has been severe. Discontinue if signs of hypersensitivity are noted.
• Gout: In certain patients with a history of gout, a familial predisposition to gout, or chronic renal failure, gout can be precipitated by hydrochlorothiazide.
• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients who have biliary obstructive disorders or hepatic dysfunction; in cirrhosis, avoid electrolyte and acid/base imbalances that might lead to hepatic encephalopathy.
• Hypovolemia: Avoid use or use a smaller dose in patients who are volume depleted; correct depletion first.
• Parathyroid disease: Thiazide diuretics reduce calcium excretion; pathologic changes in the parathyroid glands with hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia have been observed with prolonged use.
• Renal impairment: Use telmisartan with caution with pre-existing renal insufficiency and severe renal impairment. Avoid hydrochlorothiazide in severe renal disease (ineffective); may precipitate azotemia; discontinue or consider withholding if renal impairment occurs.
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors: Concurrent use of ACE inhibitors may increase the risk of clinically-significant adverse events (eg, renal dysfunction, hyperkalemia). Concurrent use with ramipril is not recommended.

10,001,411 | Warning]: Based on human data, drugs that act on the angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus when used in the second and third trimesters. Angiotensin receptor blockers should be discontinued as soon as possible once pregnancy is detected.
It is not known if telmisartan is excreted in human breast milk, use during breast-feeding is not recommended. Thiazides are excreted in human breast milk; benefits to the mother should be weighed against possible risk to the newborn if used in a nursing woman.
Telmisartan: Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor antagonist. Angiotensin II acts as a vasoconstrictor. In addition to causing direct vasoconstriction, angiotensin II also stimulates the release of aldosterone. Once aldosterone is released, sodium as well as water are reabsorbed. The end result is an elevation in blood pressure. Telmisartan binds to the AT1 angiotensin II receptor. This binding prevents angiotensin II from binding to the receptor thereby blocking the vasoconstriction and the aldosterone secreting effects of angiotensin II.
Excretion: Urine (as unchanged drug). | [

10,001,414 | So it turns out I have no will power. I should have known that going to Madrid – the land of beautiful wine, great tapas and late night parties – would conflict quite significantly with running a half marathon, but alas, I was naïve. I thought I could exercise extreme self-control, and save all the indulgence until after the race, but I failed. And my half marathon time shows it – 2:04:28. More than 6 minutes off my personal best!
Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time in Madrid, sight-seeing, sampling the fine cuisine and running my 7th half marathon. The Rock n’ Roll series of races are special because they are deemed the world’s largest running series with more than 500,000 people taking part in 30 cities around the world. The race in Madrid had three distances: 10K, half marathon and full marathon and is the largest running event in the city. It was also the first time I had ever travelled anywhere exclusively for a race.
The day before, we tried to limit our wandering around to save our feet for the race, but we didn’t do a very good job. First, we had to venture to the Race Expo. I think I sort of neglected to realise that everything would be in Spanish but despite the language barrier, we picked up our race kits without issue and wandered around the Expo looking like lost tourists. We couldn’t understand anything that was being said or read any pamphlets that were being handed out. So we took a couple pics and headed back to the city in search of fun. We ended up at the Mercado San Miguel and that’s where all will power was lost. We just couldn’t give up the opportunity to sample some oysters and a glass of champagne!
Later that evening we went to a Flamenco show, and the ticket came with a glass of wine. So of course, we indulged again. My pre-race meals consisted of oysters, champagne, a full pizza with loads of cheese, a paella and a glass of red wine. Exactly what all the elite runners were eating, I’m sure.
Despite the amazing party scene all around us, we were actually responsible and tried to go to sleep early. But Graham got hungry and ended up sneaking away while I was dozing off, returning the room with a plate of tapas at midnight. I indulged in a | [

10,001,415 | few nibbles of a tiny hamburger while laying in bed. A new low.
Race day arrived and luckily, our hotel was walking distance to the start line and the weather was glorious so we didn’t need to wear a coat or check any bags. We easily found our corral and before we knew it, we were off!
While I did check the route and elevation before we left, I really didn’t appreciate how hilly the course was. The first 7K were all up-hill and it destroyed me. I could not keep on pace and I was exhausted. By the time the rolling hills started, I was already spent but we weren’t even half way there! Thankfully, Graham ran with me the whole time and he had a great race, happily listening to his audiobook the whole time. I couldn’t get my music to work, so I had the Spanish encouragement from the crowd and the occasional band along the way. There were 7 bands along the race route. I needed there to be 20. At one stage, Graham asked how I was feeling. “Like a sack of potatoes,” I said. “With brick legs.” A sub 2-hour time was not in the realm of possibility.
But the sunshine was glorious and the route was pretty. I made it up the last hill, breathless and exhausted, at what felt like barely above a walk and mustered up the rest of my stamina to push the pace until the finish line. Just by sheer coincidence we finished the race alongside the first place male elite runner, who was finishing the full marathon around the same time I was finishing my half! Both maddening and inspiring, really. But it did give me a little burst of energy at my absolute lowest point.
Ugh! It was so tough! 21K of pain! I was a bit disappointed with myself, but I tried to get over it and just enjoy the fact that we could stretch in beautiful Retiro Park in the sunshine. It was just what I needed to let any lingering disappointment completely disappear.
We walked slowly back along the race route, watching the end of the marathon and eventually made it back to our hotel. The 25 steps to our room felt like 200. We showered and rewarded ourselves with sangria and a giant seafood paella. We then went back to the hotel and I slept for two hours.
Overall, such a | [

I love the idea of midnight tapas.
Yes, a great idea usually. Maybe just not the night before a half marathon!
Aw, yay! It was so fun to read your experience and recalling memories of our race there! I do remember it being hilly for sure!! It’s not a PR friendly course, jaja!!! Glad you had fun and great pictures! | [

10,001,419 | Every month the one of the contributors over on the Art Jewelry Elements blog gives away some sort of art bead or component for their fellows and a couple of lucky winners to design with. I was lucky enough to be one of three guest chosen to receive one of Kristi Bowman's amazing Goddess Vessel pendants and I was over the moon when I found out the news.
These gorgeous pieces are made from copper and white copper. I got the copper one in the middle and I love it! And of course I forgot to take a picture of it before I started working on my project.
The first thing I thought of to pair with my vessel was a strand of cool triangular Petrified Green Opal (or possibly copper green opal) that I've been hoarding forever. The pendant was hefty enough to stand up to the over sized stone (I knew I wanted to add just one. Originally I thought I'd do an asymmetrical design with the large stone off to one side and balance with some other gemstones, but eventually scrapped that idea. At my husbands suggestion, I decided to wire wrap the stone to the pendant for an even bigger focal! Go big or go home, right?
I then wire wrapped a bunch of faceted petrified green opal stones along with a couple of copper pineapple beads to make the body of the necklace. I'm still debating if I should have kept going and done another few sets of bead units, but I'm in a time crunch so the design will have to stand for now. I love the colors in the stones and the rustic, earthy feel of the finished design.
This is a blog hop. Check out what everyone else made this month!
The stones you chose are perfect for the component. Love the choice to go bigger by adding to your focal. Really gorgeous, rustic design!
That's a beautiful design Sarajo, I love semi precious stones... the bigger the better!
very cool design! I love how you wired the bead to the focal!
I'm rather envious of those who can make wire do what they tell it to do...Love this design, and that green really, really plays nice with the pendant!
Great job SaraJo! Love the green paired with the copper! Thanks for playing along with us this month!
Your design is great! I haven't seen a single thing I don't love with Kristi's goddess vessels. I might need | [

Hi Sarajo, You chose your stone well. It looks great with that focal. Good job girl.
I love everything, the stone is especially fab! But the best is the linear quality of the wire wrap echoing the designs In the pendant!!!
Green and copper are one of my favorite combinations! Gorgeous!

10,001,423 | I recently picked up a Berhinger Feedback Destroyer Pro for use as a parametric EQ with my sub after hearing they would be discontinued. After a few hours of fiddling I must echo the sentiments others before me regarding bang for the buck. I've had some room issues due to limited placement options and have always been bothered by the "hot spots" in the frequency response curve. They served to limit overall output level settings and just plain sound bad when listening to bass scales on Jazz recordings and other material. I was able to rid myself of these hot spots and achieve the desired frequency response I was looking for, but I found an added bonus as well. Removing the unwanted frequencies really opened up the sound of the mains during 2.1 listening and removed a cloud from in front of the center channel in 5.1 mode. I listen to the system primarily in 2.1 configuration with CD's and digital cable radio. I was amazed at the amount of additional detail and imaging accuracy that was revealed by making a few changes with the BFD. Makes me want to go through and listen to all of my old stuff again to hear what I've been missing. Set to 5.1 for movies I noticed that the cohesion between the center and the mains/surrounds was improved quite a bit. Sound now transfers seamlessly from side to side and front to back without any detectable difference as it passes from center to surround. I had always suspected the center channel of being a bit dull in frequency response, perhaps missing something on the high end. Turns out it was just stuffed with low frequency over run from the sub.
Anyhow, a thanks to the people who've shone the light on this before me, especially Sonnie Parker and Ken Bruce for their thoroughly detailed write-ups about this unit. At $100 you really can't go wrong.
Congrats, and welcome to the club! If not for the BFD, I probably would not have kept my subwoofer. Plugging the thing in out of the box, it sounded horrendous and based on measurements that I'd taken with my mains, I knew that the room acoustics caused this. If I lowered the levels to make the boominess more tolerable, it made the rest of the bass sound anemic. If I raised the levels so that the rest of the bass range was at the appropriate level, I had to brace myself for those peaks that would just shake the room and pound my | [

Fortunately, I had the BFD up and running less than 24 hours after I got the subwoofer, so I didn't have to listen to that boomy mess for very long. I ordered the BFD at the same time as the sub, and I just had to read Sonny Parker's VERY useful website and round up the parts that I needed to connect the thing to my system (the 1/4"-to-RCA adaptors, and an extra interconnect).
The BFD evened everything out and made the subwoofer do what it was intended to do. Acoustic bass really highlights the improvements that the BFD makes. The room modes are most evident with acoustic bass because everything will go along just fine until the instrument hits a particular note that sounds 2-3x louder than the others.
After I installed the sub and the BFD, I also wanted to listen to my music collection over again. More so than anything else, it really added weight to acoustic music. And of course, it added to the fun of movie watching. Relieving my main speakers from having to produce the deep bass also made the midrange more coherent overall. Without the BFD, I hardly had time to notice what the sub was doing to the mids and highs because I was wincing from how boomy the bass got when the source hit specific notes.
At $100, the BFD is about a huge a bargain as I've seen in my years tweaking with audio systems. Behringer has not discontinued the BFD altogether, but they are about to replace the current model with a new version that costs $200. Still a worthwhile purchase at that price, but not the no-brainer bargain that it currently is. | [

10,001,426 | I know there are here some people interested in the excellent work of Georges Lakhovsky. I think it's a good idea discussing all the things we know in this thread. Maybe we can learn some things about the work of G.L.
M. Georges Lakhovsky, (born in September 17 of 1870 in Russia) was a scientist, inventor, engineer and author. He is the inventor of the Multiwave Oscillator.
He published some books. In those books he proved that disease or health is a condition of the cellular resonance and the disease is a battle of radiations between the pathogen and the healthy cells. A sick person emits different radiations from his body. Those different radiations are a consecuence of a de-syntonization of the natural cell frequency, due to some factors like external radiations, nutrition, etc... He proved that we can mymic the natural cell radiations and restore the health if we emit that radiations following a pattern.
Each cell of the body, when is irradiated with its natural frequency, recognizes it and starts to resonate again at its natural vibration and health is possible. He thought that the best option to restore the health is to emit the highest amount of waves to restore all the body problems. The result was the MWO, a machine that can irradiate a lot of frequencies and, in theory, restore health.
He started his research in france, and he proved his theory in plants and then in humans, getting awesome results. He was awarded by Hitler in 1939 for the big research he done and Lakhovsky received a medal of honor. He was anti nazi and he go to New York, where he died in 1942. Before his dead, he followed a 7 week test in NY city and he got again awesome results. After his death, the hospitals told to the patients that the treatment was not avaiable and the device and theory were suppresed, maybe for some economical interests. In 1963 Robert Beck found a MWO in a hospital in California and we know it thanks to Bob Beck.
I have read one book, and I saw some impressive pictures of the awesome effects of the treatment.
I forgot to add that a lot of other scientists have proved very similar theories. Now I'm reading the books of George de la Warr that explains that cells emits radiations.

In appreciation of Paul Babcock's latest presentation at the Energy Science and Technology Conference (2017), I thought I'd post the link to the plans for the Lakhovsky MWO (Multiple Wave Oscillator).
Aaron was kind enough to send this link to me after the conference - so a big thank you to Aaron too!
The main link is MWO, and the "Secrets Revealed" tab talks about the main book.
Under the "Bioelectromagnetics" tab, they have a book that talks about how to use the machine, and results experienced.

I recall I had to email them and then they sent me the link to purchase it through PayPal.
That circuit is way more complicated than it needs to be and a couple things are not in the optimum arrangement. The real circuit and a couple variations of it is in the Italian's engineering report.

10,001,430 | The much vaunted “nuclear renaissance” has not worked out as planned, with projects running many years behind schedule and hugely over budget. A major concern about nuclear power used to be safety now it is also affordability. Conventional nuclear power plants are too big, take too long to construct and are much too expensive. As a near term remedy, small modular reactors, based on well established technologies such as the PWR, look promising.
Four 1650 MWe Areva EPRs, in France, Finland and China, are reasonably close to entering service, but many years later than expected. On current forecasts, the two EPRs in China, at Taishan, will be completed later this year, or early in 2018, when they will be almost five years late. The Finnish EPR at Olkiluoto will be nine years late when (if) it starts up in 2018 and the French EPR at Flamanville 3 is due to start operating in 2019, six years late, after a construction period of twelve years. These delays have led to huge project cost overruns with construction costs tripling in some cases.
The Hinkley Point C EPR project in the UK has been approved, but progress has been very slow, with nuclear electricity prices turning out to be very high and funding of the project proving excruciatingly difficult.
Four Toshiba–Westinghouse 1150 MWe AP1000 plants (each with two reactors) began construction over the last ten years. None is yet complete. The first AP1000 to produce electricity is expected to be at Sanmen in China, now due to be completed at the end of this year, four years late, with Haiyang close behind. The two 2 x AP1000 plants in the USA, at Vogtle and VC Summer, were due to start up in 2016-17 but have experienced major delays and huge cost overruns, resulting in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Westinghouse. Following project management restructuring, construction at Vogtle continues, with commercial operation of the two reactors projected for November 2021 and November 2022, respectively, while the future of Summer remains uncertain.
This was not how the nuclear renaissance was supposed to playout. The performance of these projects has had a chilling effect on plans to build other nuclear reactors. Additional AP1000 projects have been cancelled in the US and commitments to new nuclear in Europe have slowed. Only in India and China are new nuclear projects being promoted.

10,001,431 | the past, the most pressing concern about nuclear was safety. Now people are beginning to ask: Can we build affordable nuclear?
The truth is dawning that the current large reactors are: too big to fund; too slow to construct; and produce electricity that is too expensive for consumers and for business.
In past forty years, nuclear reactors have grown in size and in output – from typically around 500 MW in the 1970s to more than 1650 MW now. This trend has been driven by the idea of the ‘economy of scale’.
The economy of scale is an idea that has a solid foundation in both the power industry and in other capital goods sectors. However, in nuclear there is no evidence that larger and larger reactors have reduced the unit capital costs. In fact, the evidence is in the opposite direction. Large economic studies of both the US and the French nuclear power programmes show that per-MW capital costs increased with size. Safety improvements and tighter regulation have played a part. The evidence is that larger nuclear reactors are more difficult to build, take longer to complete and as a result cost more. Studies in the late 1980s pointing out this relationship observed that the industry was designing reactors (then 1000 MW output) that were beyond its ability to construct in an efficient manner.
As a result of their size and cost, large reactors are extremely difficult to fund. For large reactors in the West, capital costs are around £4000 to £5000 per kW, triple the expectations of the UK government ten years ago in its nuclear white paper. When interest during construction is added it means that a single reactor may require £7-12 billion of funding. Such an amount is beyond the resources of any reactor vendor, or any nuclear utility. If large reactors are to be built using private funds, they will require extraordinary forms of support and guarantees, as was the case in Finland, the USA and the UK.
Current projects demonstrate that large reactors take about 8-10 years to plan and some 8-10 more years to construct. Faster construction has been seen in South Korea, where standard designs were constructed sequentially on a limited number of sites and with a stable supply chain. The Koreans have achieved builds of less than five years. But this kind of time is unlikely to be achieved in the UK, for example, where the intention is to have several different reactor designs.

Nuclear projects are now too slow for power utilities that have other means of producing electricity that can be developed much more quickly.
Nuclear power is expensive to build although much cheaper to operate. Large power plants such as the EPRs at Hinkley Pt have 70% of their life-time energy costs linked to construction and 30% to regular fuel, waste, operations and maintenance spend.
Figures for EDF’s Hinkley Point C and the follow-on station at Sizewell suggest electricity prices of about £100/MWh in today’s money.
The price of power from renewables is falling to the point where this is beginning to look uncompetitive, while nuclear costs seem to rise inexorably.
Crucially, the costs of both nuclear and renewables are well above those for new gas plants, which set consumer and business expectations for the cost of electricity.
Consumers may be willing to pay a small premium for dispatchable low-carbon energy, but not the 50%, or more that is being sought. To be successful, low carbon energy sources, including nuclear, will have to reduce their power prices to below about £65/MWh. The question is: how?
go for small modular reactors based on light reactor technology but designed for construction in numbers in factories.
South Korea has shown the way in building a series of 900 and 1000 MW reactors of a standard design derived from a design licensed from Combustion Engineering. Since 1995, they have built a dozen of these CE-derived reactors in a consistent and regular manner, using the same elements in the supply chain. They learned from the experience of Japan, applying modern construction methods to nuclear – full CAD design, open-top construction, modularisation, and skills development. In this way, they have minimised (though not eliminated) design change, made their factories more efficient and crucially improved site productivity by learning lessons from one project and applying them to the next project.
The results are clear. They have reduced the construction time from 6.5 years to 5.5 years and reduced capital costs by about 30% (see Figure 1).
Some claim that these levels of cost apply only in the culture of East Asia. A recent re-appraisal of the US build programme in 1980s by G | [

10,001,433 | anda (ICAPP 2016) dispels this viewpoint (see Figure 2). It is based on detailed data collected regularly for the EEDB (Energy Economic Database). This demonstrates that the most important costs for nuclear construction are not the high technology vessel and turbine manufacturing costs, but the site construction work and its associated design and supervision overheads.
The complexity of nuclear construction is not in the primary systems, but in the detailed design and building of concrete structures, mechanical equipment and electrical systems. Though this equipment and these systems look superficially like any other power plant, the size, the complexity and the quality standards mark out nuclear construction. As a result, site costs are very high and variable and reflect the inherent low productivity of site work. Nuclear site labour and site indirect costs are often around 50% of the total project cost and are higher when a project takes more time to finish.
Using standard designs of reactors allows part of the site costs either to be eliminated or to be reduced substantially over the course of a programme of build. The initial costs of licensing and establishing a local supply chain are focused on the first project. Much of the repeated detailed design, which occurs whenever the supply chain is changed, is eliminated.
We can see from the French experience that learning between projects is most effective on a single site. However, when projects run for 8-10 years and when new sites are developed, learning between projects is greatly reduced. However, the scope for site related cost reduction through standardisation is clear.
Ganda reviews best practice in the US and shows that the construction cost of similar plants was 45% lower than the average, with the main contributors being reduced site overheads and lower owner’s costs. These reductions mount as the size of the programme increases and are amplified by the lower interest during construction arising from more rapid builds.
New reactor design has flowered in the last ten years, led by small entrepreneurial teams mostly funded by private individuals or venture capitalists. These start-ups are seeking to make nuclear cost effective in combating climate change while avoiding the innate conservatism of the nuclear industry. They are proposing smaller and simpler designs based on advanced technology.
There are over 50 such designs at various stages of development around the world, with most using “Generation IV” reactor technologies – featuring liquid metal-cooled, high temperature gas and molten salt systems.

10,001,434 | or provide comparable levels of safety, more simply and with lower cost.
All are at the concept design stage, though some are starting the process of assessment by national nuclear safety regulators. The EIRP comparative cost analysis uses the companies’ estimates and puts them on a common footing, linked to detailed cost definitions. In this way, they can be compared both with each other and with a baseline large PWR.
The cost comparison is shown in Figure 3. All the new reactor capital costs are lower than the reference case, with values ranging between just over $2000/ kW to almost $6000/kW, compared with the baseline LWR figure of $6755/kW. It is worth noting the low level of indirect cost (overheads) in all the new reactor estimates compared with the baseline PWR ($2400/kW). Low capital costs are matched by similarly low electricity costs, with a mean of $60/MWh (LCoE) compared with the conventional reactor’s $100/MWh.
Where these designs are small in size, they may also benefit from more factory manufacture, potentially reducing costs, improving quality and improving schedule certainty. Also, it is recognised that some designs have features which may increase capital costs. Smaller units may be more expensive, as may those, such as gas reactors, with a lower power density. Additional chemical and fuel processing for PRISM and the molten salt reactors may also increase costs.
A key issue for these new designs is uncertainty. Until a prototype reactor is built and has been operated successfully for a number of years, there will remain questions about the cost estimates. Also, there is no large-scale funding available in either the USA or Europe to test out these designs. This lack of political drive together with the conservatism of safety regulators will mean designs incorporating new technology will not be available for commercial deployment for at least another decade and perhaps much longer.
The key idea behind small modular reactors (SMR) is using modular design to transfer much of the complex construction work from site to factory conditions. In factories, productivity is much higher, tools and jigs can be deployed to improve both constructability and quality. Also, the higher numbers of SMRs required to produce a given amount of power (compared with conventional large reactors) can be concentrated in a single supply chain, allowing the ‘economies of multiples’ to progressively bring down costs.

10,001,435 | not new. It is widely used in other construction sectors and it has been attempted in nuclear. For its ABWR projects, for example, Hitachi has constructed large modules close to site. As part of a wider design and construction strategy, it has enabled cost reduction and timescale compression.
Building on earlier studies of modularisation by Stone & Webster for the US Department of Energy, Westinghouse has used modular methods for its AP1000, but this has not worked out well. Design delays and quality problems have led to cost increases.
One can see that these large reactors are too big to break down into modules for transport by road and large barges are required to carry the ~200 t modules. However, if designed with smaller modules, they become so small that little of the work is done in factory conditions. Much of the construction work is done close to site, to create mega-modules of 300-600 t, which are then lifted into their final position. Also, in adopting modularisation it is important to use contractors and suppliers that are knowledgeable about modular design methods and can work to the closer tolerances and higher quality standards that are required for success.
The economic opportunity for SMRs is driven by four factors: power scaling; standardisation; modular build; and production learning. These drivers will affect different components of the capital cost in different ways.
Though power scaling, where unit costs fall as power increases (and vice versa), seems not work in nuclear at the overall plant level, it can be expected to apply to fully designed and engineered equipment, such as reactor vessels and turbines. As explained earlier, standardisation of the design removes the need to repeat design work and leads to progressively reduced costs, at the expense of much more detailed design and construction development for the whole power plant.
Standardisation is the precursor for successful modularisation and production learning. Modularisation provides a step-change in productivity. This is recognised in both ship building and in chemical plant construction. It has also been demonstrated in the construction of nuclear submarines. Design for modular build and assembly is also key to achieving the short build periods that are claimed by SMR designers.
Production learning is routine in other industrial sectors where costs fall progressively with increased volume of manufacture. It is also present in most other energy sectors. It is the reason behind the falling costs of competitors to nuclear such as wind turbines. Why does it not occur in nuclear? The reasons are simple. Nuclear projects are marred | [

10,001,436 | by frequent design change. Supply chains are changed often, losing the benefits of experience. The frequency of nuclear production is too low for learning to be captured and transferred.
SMRs provide the opportunity to address all these issues. They can be standardised, modularised and could have the volume to drive production learning. But there is no certainty about these things.
If SMRs are the wrong size, are not standardised or designed for modular construction, or are built in ‘penny numbers’ with constantly changing supply chains, they will cost even more than their large reactor cousins. This is why the SMR project is about developing a new way of making nuclear reactors rather than the pursuit of new technology.
Applying these factors to SMRs for a range of sizes and programme sizes – as shown in Figure 4 – we can see the effect of the cost drivers. An SMR of about 300 MW in a large programme (more than 10 GW) could achieve electricity prices close to £65/MWh, resulting from its lower capital costs and shorter construction times.
At these price levels, nuclear power would be competitive with new CCGT in the UK, for example.
There are a number of ways that nuclear could again become competitive and attractive for governments and investors.
Large reactors need the stability of large and consistent build programmes and standardisation of the design and the supply chain. New technology reactors need prototypes to prove their undoubted potential, and to show they have no technical problems and that their cost estimates are sound.
SMRs using current reactor technology (for example PWR-based, as proposed by Rolls-Royce, Figure 5) are a more near term way of achieving the lower costs and short build times that are required for nuclear expansion. SMRs also need consistency of design and the scale of nuclear power programme to allow cost to be reduced and therefore to be really competitive.

10,001,438 | love it…the piece and the poem.
Hi Michele, the letters were cut out of printmaker’s mull which I pasted lightly with a Pritt Stick to some fabulously thick handmade Japanese paper (sponged off the excess and then cooked it on the heater for a few minutes to cure) then edged each letter with some rough spun cotton couched down with a thin Japanese cotton thread (pricking the holes first only occurred to me halfway through but I’ll know better next time) then that was stitched onto hand deckled Arches watercolour paper with those x’s in the 4 corners, the feathers & wishbone added last… next time I will try pricking out the “hope” first as a cursive continuous line and couch down a single thread… there’s a whisper of an idea out the corner of my eye of what hope could look like but each time I try it doesn’t quite get there… hope is such a fragile strong resilient thing that we all know and need, it keeps us alive!
i really like this piece. it’s beautiful.
this piece touches me. You’ve so beautifully expressed that hope, so strong and fragile. thanks for making this. | [

10,001,439 | This quilt is made up of squares and cornerstones and includes an offset 9 patch. Tina has made this quilt in subtle old world colours and the large blocks show off her lovely fabrics. Lorraine has made this quilt up in a different colourway and and scale and it is a quick and fun quilt to make.This quilt would look equally good using large print fabrics in vibrant colours (e.g. Kaffe Fassett's range). It is not always necessary to have hundreds of tiny pieces of fabric to create a wonderful quilt.
This quilt pattern also allows scope for many interesting quilting possibilities.
Once you have completed the quilt we will offer a 10% reduction in quilting costs on that quilt. | [

10,001,440 | Once in a blue moon we have a client who decides to buy new pots in December. The process from purchase to finish involves a series of steps, the first of which is the placement. Installing pots in a bed, rather than on a hard surface, is not all that usual. But in this case, I think my client made a great choice. Starting over is an opportunity. For her, and for me. It took us a few days to put everything together, but our idea was to stay on the project from start to finish.
These substantial pots were set to be placed in a pair of beds that once held some very unhappy plant material. By large, I mean 36″ tall, and 36″ in diameter at the top. The first order of business was to level the ground they would sit on, and provide a way for the pots to drain. Given the size of the pots, elevating them on bricks seemed like a good idea.
There is measuring and more measuring involved in this phase, because none of us want to try and level or center a large pot that is full of soil, and a winter arrangement. Empty pots are the easiest to move around.
The centerpieces needed to be big and tall, to be proportional to the size of the pots. A group of tall birch poles would provide plenty of substantial height. We filled the pot with cypress bark mulch to the center rib on the outside of the pot, and set the birch poles directly on top of that bark. Having a very heavy centerpiece set this deep in the pot will help keep it secure and upright. Few things seem so forlorn as a centerpiece listing out of vertical from stormy winter weather. Once the centerpiece was set, the pot could be filled with soil.
It would not be possible to fill the pots with soil if we set the greens first, so the greens placement was out of our regular order. It came after the setting of the centerpiece. The top of this centerpiece would never fit through the hole just big enough for the birch in the center of the form. The copper curly willow we added to the birch was about 3 feet wide at the top. So we sliced the greens form into two halves. Marzela set the greens in a way that made it easy to cut through her work.
Of course cutting the form in half impacted its strength. The weight of the greens on the outer edge would eventually pull the | [

10,001,441 | form and every evergreen stem inserted in it to the ground. Gravity is a force to be reckoned with. The cut form needed some ballast close to the centerpiece.
We secured each half with a pair of long steel rebar poles pounded in at an angle opposite to the downward force of the heavy side. The rebar sits above the form about 5 inches. Concrete wire was wrapped around the four pieces of steel several times. This will keep the forms anchored, and just about foolproof once the soil freezes.
We added eucalyptus to that space between the greens and the centerpiece. That plum red is a beautiful foil to the color of the copper curly willow. We zip tied individual stems to a bamboo stake. That slender stake is much more successful an anchor than the individual stems. We also had the option of setting the stems at an angle out, rather than straight up and down.
We also added extra short stem of the willow to the base of the centerpiece, so the hole in the foam would be completely filled. Gaps between the centerpiece and the opening in the foam are an opportunity for the stems to shift. Shifting stems mean trouble. Once the pot is finished, we look for a tight fit for every element. It should be clear by now that the engineering plays just as big a role as the design.
Once the pots were close to a finish, the lighting could be added. That lighting will do a lot to illuminate this front terrace.
I left the centerpiece visible from top to bottom from the road side view. That seemed like a good idea. We wrapped the centerpiece with its own string of lights. The lighting plays such a big part in winter pots. A few bags of soil covered the bricks elevating the pot. We were just about finished.
Our client felt a second pair of smaller Branch tapered pots nearer her front door would complete the look she was after. The last of this installation was about companionship. We were happy to oblige.
These smaller scale Branch pots near the front door completed the project. They are smaller, but just as robust.
picture perfect, in my opinion. | [

10,001,445 | There’s nothing worse than having your Mac suddenly crash and realizing that you haven’t yet saved your Spreadsheet. After all, in most cases, that means you’ll have to start all over again – and given how meticulous things get when you’re working with numbers and trends, that’s definitely disheartening. If you’re willing to do a bit of sleuthing though, you might just be able to regain what you’ve lost. What should you do exactly to accomplish such a feat? Read on and find out.
There’s a chance that Excel itself managed to save the file before the crash completely halted your computer. If that’s the case, you only have to open the program once again and check whether copies of your work have been made. Do take note that these might not be as updated as you’d like, given that their recentness depends on the AutoRecovery’s interval. With that said, after you’ve made sure that you didn’t lose everything you’ve done so far, you might want to tinker with Excel’s options and set a shorter interval.
By the way, if you really want to make sure that you’re not going to start from scratch, it’s best to immediately save a copy of the recovered spreadsheet. Closing the software right after checking what AutoRecovery has managed to do, essentially means that you haven’t seen anything of value – in other words, the software immediately deletes those files and you’ll really have to work right from the beginning. Once again, do not forget to save (through the Save As function, of course).
Managing to get your files back for now doesn’t mean you won’t be facing a similar problem in the future. Likewise, there’s no guarantee that you’ll always have a lot of time for troubleshooting. That’s why you have to make sure that you’re sufficiently prepared for another crash. Well, one thing you could do to make the search easier next time around is to set another location for your AutoRecovery backups. Begin by going to Excel’s Preferences menu and going to the Personal Settings screen. From there, find AutoRecover Files in the list and click Modify.
You’ll be given the | [

It is much more accessible than Microsoft Office’s often-hidden system folders, meaning there won’t be much suspense after restarting your Mac – it wouldn’t even be necessary to worry about your spreadsheet while waiting for the program to load, given that you’ll get to find out your fate with just a glance.
Lost progress (or losing entire files) isn’t always due to crashes. Sometimes, they’re the outcome of a sudden power loss. If you’re beginning to doubt your area’s power supply, you might want to consider investing in a reliable battery backup. Such a device doesn’t really cost much, but it’s potential in saving you from future headaches is arguably unparalleled. By the way, do keep in mind that battery backups are only capable of providing several minutes of extended use – so once the power cuts, quickly save your work.
As you should have realized by now, it isn’t enough to just have the necessary knowledge in file recovery. You will also have to rely on your drive for preparedness in staying one step ahead of the problem. Simply put, the more thought you put into keeping your files protected from crashes, outages, or any other issues, the more likely you’ll dodge the most common Excel dilemmas. | [

10,001,447 | CHESTERFIELD — Every year Home Instead Senior Care awards one caregiver with the Mary Steibel CAREGiver of the Year award. And this year, one of the eight finalists in the running for the award is Chesterfield caregiver Crystal Wilson.
Wilson started her career in sales but eventually found herself in nursing.
About 30 years after high school, Wilson said she had a friend who was a CNA (certified nursing assistant) in Georgia who helped her finally get into nursing.
Wilson then began working for Home Instead Senior Care. Home Instead provides at-home care for seniors who need help with taking medication, meal preparation, hospice care, transportation, companionship and other various services.
Since employed at Home Instead, Wilson has become a CNA, trained as an American Red Cross nurse assistant and was one of the first nurses to start participating in the Peaceful Passing program.
With Peaceful Passing, Wilson spends time with the patients. “I just try to lighten it up, read to them or sing to them. No one should die alone is their statement, which is true. And it’s really special to me,” she said. “It’s meaningful for me to be with someone when they take their last breath.
“You’ve got a lot of families that don’t know what to do, they just don’t know what to expect. And we are there for support,” Wilson added.
Because of her work, Wilson was chosen as the company's Mid-Atlantic CAREGiver of the Year. Now she is eligible along with seven other finalists for the national award. The finalists will attend the national ceremony on April 24 in Omaha, Neb.
It’s her first time being nominated for this kind of award, and Wilson was caught off guard by the nomination. “I’m fully surprised,” she said.
Wilson said she finds meaning in being a caregiver. With or without an award, she enjoys making people happy and providing the care that she does. | [

Here in this situation, you can use a two-way lookup.
Performing a two-way lookup is all about getting a value from a two-dimensional table. That means you can get a value from any cell of a table.
And for this, you need to combine match function with vlookup. As you know, normal vlookup is only able to return a value by looking into a single column at a time.
The reason is, the col_index argument of vlookup is a static value. But if you combine match function with vlookup you can make it dynamic.
Let's back to our example. We have a table with monthly sales quantity for four different zones of a company.
Now let’s say, your boss wants to check quantity for a zone for a particular month (For Ex: month Sep and zone North).
And, he doesn’t like to look out on the table for that.
So, here is the formula.
As I already said, we need match function to make col_index dynamic. This formula works in two parts.
When you select zone, match function returns the position of the zone in the heading row.
And, then vlookup use that position to get value from that column.
Every time, when you select month and zone it will return the value which is at the intersection of both row and column.
The thing is, you have a dynamic col_index which allows you to get value from different columns with vlookup.
Whenever you need to get value from a table [Matrix] you can simply use this combination of two functions to get that value.
I hope you found this useful in your daily work. And, please don’t forget to share this tip with your friends.
But I found this method simple.
I agree that INDEX-MATCH has multi use.
This combination is great and will be extremely useful. Thank you for explaining and sharing all your guides. | [

10,001,452 | Read the plate. Does the food on it have integrity, do the ingredients belong together, does the recipe ring true? Or is it, like so much modern cooking, a mess of ingredients that are out of sync and have no affinity with one another. I love a recipe that really works, where you feel there is something unequivocally right about it. Where the cook has remained true to the dish, to its provenance, its history, its soul.
I feel that way about coq au vin. The story is there for all to read. The chicken, the garlic, the bottle of wine, the long, slow cooking time. Such a recipe wreaks of its history and its place in the life of those who invented it. You can see how the whole thing worked for them, how the dish slotted into the farmer's life, its place in the landscape.
Sadly, sometimes recipes fall out of favour, buried under an avalanche of new and passing fancies. It's absurd, of course, that a dish that has stood the test of time and lined a million happy bellies, is sidelined in favour of something whose charms will rub off within a month or two, but it happens to the best of them. This does not mean that our cooking should stand still, it is simply that it annoys me when a good dish is tossed aside in favour of the here-today-gone-tomorrow recipes that come at us like confetti in a gale.
This is the case with coq au vin. Yes, it is a fancy name for a chicken stew, but made with a gamey, strong-boned bird, some aromatic bacon, juicy little mushrooms and a bottle of half-decent wine it is as good a weekend lunch as you can get. The sort of good-natured food that will fit in with us rather than us having to plan our day around it; the sort to eat off plain white plates on a paper tablecloth. The sort whose juices you mop up with bread and a plain, garlic-scented salad. In other words, a sound recipe that makes all the right noises.
There is a branch of cookery that says you can mess around with a classic recipe and it won't matter. You know, make a patently French recipe with Australian wine or swap a herb or a vegetable to suit what you have available. Where I am the first to say we should cook | [

10,001,453 | to suit ourselves, our intuitions and appetites, I also believe that a classic recipe should be just that, a classic. To mess around with it would be to misunderstand it, to somehow downgrade it.
Apart from the odd time-warp brasserie, you will be hard-pushed to find coq au vin in Paris, let alone in Dijon. Even then, you might find that some upstart chef has added his own signature. For which you can read buggered it up. Yes, let's be inventive, letting a recipe breathe to suit our ingredients and our current fancies, but let us also respect time-honoured recipes. There are few things quite so enjoyable as a model dish cooked with sincerity and respect.
I once worked in a restaurant that, at the time, was considered to be the best in the land. At least several of the guides thought so. The chef patron had learned to make this dish in France, he understood its roots. We made coq au vin every week (believe me when I say that this is one of those dishes that improves, rather than deteriorates, after a few days in the fridge). I have never made it better than I did under his beady eye, but then we made it with the dregs of the glasses and bottles from the customers' tables. So whether it was the quality of the local birds, the excellent wines or that soupçon of saliva from each glass that made the difference I will never know.
The older the bird, the richer the sauce. Have a word with your butcher: once you tell him you want a chicken for long, slow cooking he might be able to order a more mature bird for you. Best hunting grounds for older birds are traditional butchers, farmers' markets and mail order. With their access to fresh air, free-range birds have had the opportunity to build stronger, thicker bones than anything kept indoors, and will make a more sumptuous sauce.
Much is made of using good quality wine in cooking - a fruity, big-flavoured wine will obviously add more interest than a thin, cheap one - but there is no need to push the boat out. It doesn't have to be from Burgundy or, I suppose, even French, but I would feel uncomfortable using anything else. A loud, inky Beaujolais will do the trick.

10,001,454 | onions and carrots only, but I always add celery or celeriac, too, for its earthy notes. Big fat French onions, the sort that dangle on strings from bicycle handlebars, are what you want for the backbone of the stew. Tiny, tight-skinned button onions are correct for adding nearer the end but are infuriatingly difficult to find when you want them. I have used small, firm shallots before now and got away with it. A little bunch of fresh thyme and a few bay leaves are really all the herbs you need here, otherwise the dish will become confused.
It just isn't coq au vin without some fat, juicy strips of green bacon. The rashers with which the British are obsessed are too thin - if they don't burn, they'll disintegrate. What you need is a solid lump that you can cut into thick strips. Pancetta will do nicely.
Whenever I have eaten this in its natural habitat it has always come with wide, flat noodles, and I see no real reason to alter that. My usual choice is to plump for steamed potatoes, for the simple reason that I like to squash them into the gravy with my fork.
Put the chicken carcass, its giblets and any bits and bobs of bone and flesh into a deep pan, cover with water, add an onion and a carrot, half a dozen whole peppercorns and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and let it simmer until you need it.
Cut the pancetta into short strips; they need to be thicker than a match but not quite as thick as your little finger. Put them, together with the butter, into a thick-bottomed casserole - one of enamelled cast iron would be perfect - and let them cook over a moderate heat. Stir the pancetta from time to time - it mustn't burn - then, when it is golden, lift it out into a bowl, leaving behind the fat in the pan.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and place them in the hot fat in the casserole, so that they fit snugly yet have room to colour. Turn them when the underside is pale gold. The skin should be honey coloured rather than brown - it is this colouring of the skin, rather than what wine or herbs you might add later, that is crucial to the flavour of the dish. Lift the chicken out | [

While the chicken is colouring in the pan, peel and roughly chop the onions and carrot, and wash and chop the celery. With the chicken out, add the onions and carrot to the pan and cook slowly, stirring from time to time, until the onion is translucent and it has gone some way to dissolving some of the pan stickings. Add the garlic, peeled and thinly sliced, as you go. Return the chicken and pancetta to the pan, stir in the flour and let everything cook for a minute or two before pouring in the cognac, wine and tucking in the herbs. Spoon in ladles of the simmering chicken stock until the entire chicken is covered. Bring to the boil, then, just as it gets there, turn the heat down so that the sauce bubbles gently. Cover partially with a lid.
Turn the heat up under the sauce and let it bubble enthusiastically until it has reduced a little. As it bubbles down it will become thicker - though not thick - and will become quite glossy. | [

10,001,457 | When you prepare for marriage, you will likely focus on things like where the wedding will be, what kind of flowers you need to order, and which people you are planning to invite. The possibility of your marriage coming to an end one day rarely gets even a second thought. However, it is a good idea to prepare for that possibility, even if it is an unpleasant thing to consider. Having an experienced family law attorney help create a prenuptial agreement can provide you and your spouse with financial and legal protection if your marriage ever ends, either from divorce or death.
While many people think of a prenuptial agreement, also known as a prenup, as a document that is necessary only for those with large financial assets, that is not necessarily true. There are numerous reasons why you might want to consider getting a prenup before you tie the knot.
One spouse has a higher income than the other. If one of the spouses earns significantly more money than the other, or one of them stays home to raise children instead of having a career, a prenup can specify that the lower income spouse will receive financial support from the other spouse following a divorce, so they can maintain financial security.
One spouse brought significant debts or assets to the marriage. If a spouse enters the marriage with significant assets, they may want to ensure that those assets are not subject to division in the event of a divorce. Likewise, if one of the spouses enters the marriage with significant debt, a prenup can specify that the other spouse is not responsible for those debts if they later divorce.
One or both spouses own a business. Family-owned businesses often represent significant assets in a marriage, but these businesses may not have the ability to survive a division of assets if a divorce were to occur. A prenuptial agreement will be able to define how the ownership of the business will be handled in the case of divorce, ensuring that the business will be able to continue its operations if the marriage ends.
Either spouse has children from a previous marriage. When one of the spouses from a marriage dies, the remaining spouse is entitled to half of the deceased person’s estate. However, if that spouse had children from another marriage or relationship, that spouse may want to guarantee that a certain amount of their assets will be inherited by those children. A prenuptial agreement can ensure that their wishes will be carried out the way they wanted.

10,001,464 | We recently attended a Dakar 18 event where we got a hands-on with a preview version of the off-road racer which is due to hit shelves on September 11 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Developed by Bigmoon Entertainment, Dakar 18 aims to be a realistic simulation of the famous off-road endurance event where the focus is as much on survival as it is being the fastest.
Players are expected to read navigational notes and signs, as well as listen to the navigator, in order to find all the waypoints to traverse the various environments on offer in this huge open-world which clocks in at 18,000 square kilometres.
All car classes are represented from the 2018 Dakar Rally, you can expect to get to grips with bikes, cars, trucks, SSVs (UTV) and quads which all present different challenges and require a unique approach to get the best from them. Time of day and weather are also simulated and change during a race to provide a constantly evolving challenge as you tackle sand, mud, and water looking for the least damaging route to keep your vehicle in one piece.
Besides the single-player content, Dakar 18 also features online multiplayer (which should make for some interesting battles and perhaps teamwork) and even 2-player split screen which is becoming rarer these days.
You can view our exclusive gameplay on a preview version of Dakar 18, as well as an interview with Bigmoon Entertainment CEO and Dakar 18 game director Paulo J. Games, below.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments and you can expect more on Dakar 18 in the coming weeks. | [

Inspired with this confidence I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the World Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me - Amen".

10,001,478 | 1. Thanks for agreeing to be interviewed Diane! What is your favorite quote or saying?
Every plus has a minus in life, it's what makes life go round and keeps it balanced...figure out what your most important plus is, and focus on that. Life is too short to spend energy on negative situations.
Spring...to me it's so exciting to watch the flowers bloom, the special way the sun glows on a beautiful spring day, the anticipation of summer and all the fun activities with the family you plan ahead for...and most of all, the opportunity at another year to accomplish anything left over your list from last year.
3. What is one valuable lesson you hope to pass on to your boys?
To have passion for life and acknowledge all the good in their life and always help someone less fortunate or in need. Everything is a choice and an opportunity.
4. What do you like to watch to unwind?
The TV show Parenthood because it's your family, my family and every family...it is so realistic and there are characters for everybody to identify with. The show takes you through every emotion...sad, scared, happy and just feel-good all around. | [

10,001,483 | Brian Eno left Roxy Music in 1973. How does the band cope with the loss of one of its main attractions and musical innovators? Pretty well, so it seems.
In 1972 Roxy Music debuted with the release of the album Roxy Music, which was followed by For Your Pleasure in March of 1973. Their art-rock was very well received, both by the general public as by the press. The single Virginia Plain was a hit.
The group’s presentation was glamorous and the band got noticed for their look and clothing. The band seemed to be led by Bryan Ferry, but on-stage Ferry was often out-classed by the eccentric Brian Eno, who re-established the term ‘to dress up’.
But, Eno was just as important musically. His synthesizer eruptions gave Roxy Music something that was experimental, unexpected and unpredictable.
Roxy Music’s fans were divided into two factions. To many, Eno was indispensable and had decisive impact on the success of the band. To others, Eno was the man who often paralyzed the rock-machine Roxy Music with his beeping and grinding sounds.
Anyway, Bryan Ferry wasn’t to keen on being trivialized by anybody else than Bryan Ferry. The relationship between Eno and Ferry quickly deteriorated and Ferry wanted to take control over, what he considered to be, ‘his’ band. So, exit Eno.
In the meantime Ferry had launched a solo-career.
After Eno’s departure, Roxy Music went to work to record the next album. The rest of the band found out about Eno’s leaving upon reconvening in the studio. Eddie Jobson was introduced as his replacement. Ferry was in full control this time, even though Stranded marked the first time others would (co-)write on a Roxy Music album.
Wish everybody would leave me alone, that’s the way Ferry opens the album Stranded which was released on November 23rd, 1973. The lines stem from the song Street Life, which was released as a single and is considered to be a classic song in Roxy Music’s body of work. Stranded is filled with classics. As if Eno never existed, Roxy Music delivered their masterpiece (Eno himself calls Stranded the best Roxy Music album).

10,001,484 | , A Song For Europe and Mother Of Pearl posses a quality that is timeless and will surely contribute to the living memory of the name Roxy Music. Ferry’s vocals are stronger than before and the band sounds like a real tight band musically.
With just two albums under their belt, Roxy Music was already renowned for their album covers. These contained pictures of beautiful women or models. It was told that the models were Bryan Ferry’s girlfriend at the time. When it comes to Stranded, this is not the case.
Eno’s leaving was mentioned in almost every review, but not mourned. The album received lots of raving reviews and was very quickly considered to be a classic, and regarded as a logical development in the band’s career. In Europe Roxy Music did very well, but in the United States their success was considerably less. In a review for Rolling Stone Magazine attempts were made to get Americans get exited for the latest Roxy Music album. it didn’t work.
My father admired Roxy Music greatly. He had every album up to and including Viva! Roxy Music. At the time I used to go over the album covers over and over again and stared for hours at the pictures. Eno fascinated me endlessly.
Of all the studio albums, Stranded was played the most frequent. If only for it contained the song Psalm, a classic within our household. It was the central theme song to my mother’s funeral, who was a big Bryan Ferry fan.
Besides the obvious nostalgia, Stranded is filled with beautiful music and highlight after highlight. Next to Psalm, Amazone and Mother Of Pearl are favorites also.
My favorite Roxy Music album is the live album Viva! Roxy Music, number 23 in my album top 50. Stranded is my favorite Roxy Music studio album, one of the few bands I own every album of.
Immediately following the recordings for the album, before the album’s release, the accompanying tour started in Bath, England on October 14th, 1973. Bryan Ferry moved away from his keyboard position and took the center stage position and focused on his vocals, giving less attention to keyboards. During the tour multiple concerts were recorded for inclusion on a possible live album. Chance Meeting and Pyjamarama recorded on November 2nd, 1973, in Glasgow finally appeared on the live album Viva! | [

10,001,485 | Roxy Music.
On January 23rd, 1974, Roxy Music performs on the German music program Musikladen and plays Street Life, Pyjamarama, Mother Of Pearl, Amazona and Psalm. This performance has been released numerous times on differrent bootlegs. And rightfully so, it’s a stunning performance.
All songs written by Bryan Ferry, unless stated otherwise.

In addition, she contributes to other blogs and covers beauty, style, wedding and celebrity topics for www.examiner.com, all CBS local channels online and for the JustFab companies which include FabKids by Christina Applegate, Fabletics by Kate Hudson and JustFab by Kimora Lee Simmons. To shop these amazing companies, simply look around her website and their ads to click on shall be revealed.
Read this amazing article where she introduces her newest adventure being a guest blogger for digital marketing powerhouse Marketo. She'll be guest blogging for Marketo on the topics of social media, content creation, blogging, vlogging and overall general online awesomeness. This blog receives roughly a million views a day.
Can somebody give her a Yassss, bae?!
Here is the exclusive parts of the interview J. had with Marketo that were not published, yet she felt uber important to share with her bestie followers. Enjoy.
Why did you start vlogging and what keeps you going?
As a blogger and contributing writer to the online world, vlogging was a secondary opportunity for me to grow my readership and online presence. Video in general tends to receive quicker views and followers than other non-video social media accounts. There's something about people liking to know what you're like in real life as opposed to just being a brand on social media. While most vlogs are for my digital advertising business, followers do enjoy more personal interaction from time to time. My followers give me the will to move forward actually. We have a great time and they're a fun, lively bunch that constantly keep me interested in interacting with them.
Were there any obstacles you faced right off the start?
Driving traffic can be difficult if you haven't cultivated a list of followers to engage with your content. Social media accounts are all places that you can post links to your online work. Writing or vlogging on a consistent basis in my opinion is completely defeated if you have nowhere to post the link to that wonderful article you just wrote or engaging multimedia content you created. This is where I completely differ from other vloggers. I chose to dominate social feeds before I | [

You want to see J's face before her brains?
What was the tipping point when people first started engaging with you?
I learned that engaging first hand with your followers and also contributing to popular hashtags is super important to make yourself visible all over the web. Yasss, bae, yasssssss. Have I finally made it? You decide. Did I mention how gorgeous and important I think you are?! Every single one of you is special and I truly mean that.
Retweets, revines, likes and favorites are a good indication that your content is awesome. I find mixed media keeps your followers attention for longer than just a few boring paragraphs of in-depth text. Also never forget that your followers are your friends. They are a total blessing and I find that thanking them or engaging with them every once in a while not only makes you a real person but also a winner in life in general. Also always remember that you've got to be nice online in order for other people to be nice back to you online. That means you must revine, like, shout out or comment basically every day. Kevin Costner is waiting for you to build the field of marketing dreams. They (the followers) will come as long as you never forget who helped contribute to your online success.
I predict and watch social media trends. Of course it still all has to meet the needs of my business and marketing plans, but figuring out what is trendy with millennials is your golden social media ticket to the Willy Wonka of Chocolate Follower Factories. Let's face it. Every girl I meet that is college age can fully operate about fifty apps without even missing a text message. Millennials are the future and exactly who your online business needs to be targeting for engagement.
What do you use to measure success?
What metrics do you look for?
Vine and YouTube publicly show your video views. Pinterest, Twitter, Google+ and Facebook also have amazing analytics trackers. I track impressions all the way up to profile views. One tip I do have about all of the metrics is to start tracking them from the very beginning. I am currently unable to find out stats from when some of these social media accounts went viral on Twitter simply because | [

There are many reasons people use videos to reach an audience. What tips do you think are universal when it comes to engaging with people and sustaining a substantial following?
Know your craft well. Who are your competitors? What do you hate about them? What do you like about them? What's your unique angle on this topic or viewpoint? Can you entertain me? Product knowledge sells. With time and experience comes your voice. Humor helps, too. If all else absolutely fails, you can still have fun with Twitter hashtag gems like #Thorsday, #HorsesAndBayonets, #MichelleObamaArms and #bbloggers.

You've got to have the will to keep on going regardless of whatever negativity you're receiving. The universe will ultimately reward you for being the better person.
Great post! Knowing one's craft is key to expanding their knowledge base and techniques and even crossing over into related categories that could attract new followers. It was great meeting you the other day! Keep up the good work! | [

Can you confirm the exact model name and number of your camera?
As far as I know, there is no movie clip function in any of the "EOS" models that Canon makes.
are you talking about making a movie from individual still images you have shot? or are you talking about exporting video?

10,001,497 | Rock guitar tone has long been defined by overdriven tube amplifiers. Those tones have evolved over the years as amps were intentionally designed for more gain and a more focused overdriven sound. You want those tones all the time, but we all live in the real world. You head out to a gig not knowing how loud you can play, whether you’re amp will be mic’d or how much of an amp you can even fit on the stage. Your practice space is tiny and even the drummer thinks you are too loud. And of course you need to practice without waking the neighbors on occasion. We get it. We’ve been there too. The Variac Overdrive emulates both a hot-rodded tube preamp and a power amp with two phase inverter options. Chords sound huge, leads sing with clarity, and pinch harmonics come out with ease. The Variac Overdrive is an expressive overdrive pedal with the articulation and touch sensitivity of a tube amplifier. The controls are interactive along with “hidden” controls like the power supply. Dynamics and headroom are all affected by the power supply. Powering from 7.5 to 18 VDC opens up even more possibilities. More on the “hidden” controls below. With tones ranging from AC/DC, early Van Halen, Judas Priest to Tom Morello and even 80′s hair sounds, the Variac Overdrive is more than another amp in a box. It places an entire era of rock tone at your feet. It’s based on tests of individual tube circuits, careful listening to some of our favorite rock and old school metal, and the topology of amplifiers the artists actually used. The “hidden” controls: These are not internal switches or knobs. No these are hidden plain sight. Playing loud makes a big difference. A big part of guitar tone is simply turning up to the point where the interaction between volume in the room makes notes sustain, harmonics bloom and simply sounding on the edge of being out of control. The Variac Overdrive is designed to react like an amp when it’s loud. It’s a great pedal for practicing without waking the neighbors, but do yourself a favor and turn it up whenever you can. The power supply is an important part of a tube amplifier. It has a significant impact on The Variac Overdrive as well. It can be powered from | [
