The End We Start From by Megan Hunter is a recommended debut dystopian novel.
An unnamed narrator is pregnant and gives birth to her first child, a son called Z. Simultaneously an apocalyptic flood hits London and the women is forced to leave her apartment with her husband, R, a few days after giving birth. They make it to the home of R's parents in the country, but have limited supplies there. Eventually they are forced to leave for a camp for displaced persons, hoping to find safe shelter and food. R ends up taking off for a "few weeks" but is essentially gone. Our narrator makes friends with other mothers of young children, O, and evens travels with her to find another place of safety.
This is a difficult novel to review. It is a dystopian, but we never exactly know the what and why's (global warming? a natural disaster?). What we have is a new mother, marveling at her son's development and surviving the disaster. What we don't have is information about, well, much of anything of significance beyond what the narrator mentions. While the novel is almost poetic in its descriptions and phrasing, Hunter left out an important part, a definitive plot and narrative for us to follow while appreciating the well written turns of a phrase. We have a light plot - a woman has given birth to a son and a disaster of great magnitude has happened - but no great substance and details in the body of the novel.
Now, I say novel, but, at 160 pages this is close to a novella. It is a very fast read. With the lyricism in what Hunter does write, I do wonder if it was a choice to pare the novel down to the bare bones, just as the character's names are reduced to an initial. Are we supposed to extrapolate the missing details and infer what happened? However, there are cases when her descriptive prose is overwrought and not conveying just the essential information. It's a quandary. This is Hunter's debut novel, however, so she is a writer to watch for future novels.

Precision farming is a management concept that is peddled to be the next big thing in the global agriculture sector, promising to influence the industry on the similar lines of green or organic farming. Monitoring the growth of crops happens to be a crucial aspect of precision agriculture, thereby emphasizing the necessitation of incorporating effective imaging technology. Observance and measurement of intra-field activities imposes the use of devices that are designed and developed with advanced imaging technologies. Off lately, tests of using an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) such as drones for capturing the cultivation of crops indicate that precision farming will be deeply integrated with imaging technology.
The global market for imaging technology in precision agriculture is, thus, projected to attain revenues worth US$ 1,165.9 million by the end of 2024. According to a report developed by RRI, titled “Imaging Technology in Precision Agriculture Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Sales and Forecast By 2024,” cameras fitted on UAS devices are anticipated to account for over 45% share of the global market value in 2016. Variability in fertility rate, rodent monitoring, and supervision irrigation and similar farming activities continues to promote the use of imaging technologies in precision agriculture.
The implementation of UAS-derived imagery is expected to deliver imagery at higher resolution and from flexible angles. UAS imaging devices are likely to gain prominence due to their suitability in alarming the farmers from pest infestation, and other unwanted activities. The adoption of UAS imaging will be instrumental as precision agriculture is slowly growing its status as the future of farming.
Drones equipped with cameras and other sensory devices are gaining traction as a product in the global market for imaging technology in precision agriculture. Several companies have recently induced more research on how droned cameras can enhance the imagery assessment in precision agriculture. Employing on-board camera, a radar or any other clip-on device that incorporates advanced imaging technology on drones has supplemented the detection of cultivation processes. High-yielding fruits, vegetables and grains are expected to be effectively monitored after implementation of drones in precision farming techniques; thereby revolutionizing the dynamics of global market for imaging technology in precision agriculture.
Sensors and software, besides camera, are alsokey product-types prominent in the global market.The global market for imaging technology in precision agriculture is also bifurcated on the basis of imaging technology; hyperspectral and multispectral. In 2015, the multispectral imaging technology will account for US$ 408.4 million, and is anticipated to reach US$ 434.1 million by the end of 2016. A regional overview of the global market for imaging technology in precision agriculture indicates North America as the dominant region, procuring a global revenue share of 54.2% by 2024. Subsequently, Asia-Pacific’s market for imaging technology in precision agriculture is slated to generate revenues worth US$ 233.4 million by the end of forecast period. Since precision agriculture is gradually proliferating the global industry for farming techniques, leading companies providing solutions with imaging technology are projected to increase their participation.
Some such key players in the global market for imaging technology in precision agriculture include, Micasense, Teledyne Dalsa, Ximea, Tetracam, Bayspec, and Resnon, among others. | 2019-04-25T04:09:29 | http://prworld.org/content/imaging-technology-precision-agriculture-market-witness-steady-growth-45-cagr-2024 |

When you think “power suit”, I bet you think of the full on structured blazer and well tailored pants or skirt. Well let me share a different kind of power look today. Here is the short-suit stepping in to springilize or summerlize (made up words obviously lol) your business style.
This look is great for the warmer weather as it allows maximum ventilation with all the openings and shows off that great skin you’ve been working on all winter. No pice in this outfit is regular - I swapped the full inner shirt or camisole for a crop top; the regular structure jacket for this cold shoulder, tie waist blazer; and the pants for a pair of shorts.
I wore this outfit to a fashion event in Nigeria, the Heineken Lagos Fashion and Design Week (HLFDW) and it was a perfect fit to stand out from the dresses and other styles that seemed to have been an unannounced theme.
My trip and ticket into the event was taken care of by taxifyng.

Smartphone specifically targeted at the gaming community seems to be the toast of the tech town at the moment. And the list of companies jumping on to the specific market segment seems to be growing, with Nokia being the newest to make it to the coveted group.
Not surprisingly, Nokia isn’t letting out any of the details just yet. The Indian arm of the company only let it be known via its official Twitter account they are onto it. ‘Stay tuned for a phone you can #GameOn,’ the Tweet message read. That makes the launch schedule of the phone anybody’s guess at the moment.
The likely specs of the upcoming phone too are a mystery right now with the 10-sec clip accompanying the message showing precious little. The only thing that can be made out from the clip is a device with the resemblance of a smartphone and that it has three lights on the other side of it. However, what is a dead surety is that the phone will have top-of-the-line specs needed to match the requirements of high-end games.
Also, it isn’t clear exactly what approach Nokia would be adopting with its gaming oriented smartphone. GSMArena however speculated the company might chose to partner with an established gaming label with the key takeaway here for Nokia would be to get early access to the games before the same is made available to the masses.
That way, It would be sort of an exclusivity that the Nokia smartphone would be enjoying though in that case, it is the gaming label that would be carrying much of the marketing effort. The strategy isn’t new though, with Samsung emulating something similar with its latest Galaxy Note 9 that has partnered with Epic Games for promoting the phablet as a preferred device for playing Fortnite.
Meanwhile, the only other device that we know is getting their final shape at Nokia is the Nokia 9 and Nokia X7. That said, none of them are likely to be the new gaming phone Nokia hinted in its Tweet as both Nokia 9 and Nokia X7 are expected to be next gen versions of existing Nokia hardware, or Nokia 8 and Nokia 7 respectively. And it’s unlikely the company would branch off an existing series of smartphone for branding something as radical as a gaming phone.
As for its competitors, the Nokia device will be up against similar gaming smartphone from Razer, Asus, Xiaomi, Huawei, and ZTE. | 2019-04-21T14:29:10 | https://pc-tablet.com/nokia-india-confirms-they-are-working-on-a-gaming-smartphone-next/ |

UWE ROSLER has told Brentford fans to lay off Marcello Trotta.
Trotta rejoined The Bees for another loan spell this week - just months after costing them automatic promotion.
The Fulham striker, 20, disobeyed orders not to take a stoppage-time penalty against Doncaster at the end of last season - and crashed his spot-kick against the bar.
Doncaster then went back up the other end and scored the goal that clinched promotion for the Yorkshire club.
Now some Brentford fans have bombarded social media sites to question his return.
Impact But Brentford boss Rosler said: "It's important everyone gives Marcello a chance.
"He knows some people have not forgotten. Of course, people still remember him for that penalty.
"I remember the impact he made for the club. We should judge him on that."
Following their play-off final defeat to Yeovil, Trotta could be excused for wanting to see the back of the west Londoners.
But Rosler reckons he has shown character in heading back to the club.
"Marcello has come to fight for his place and play," he said.
"I feel he is a good solution for us. He bounced back from that Doncaster game and I expect him to help us achieve our goal this season."
And ahead of today's clash at Bradford, Trotta revealed he is still haunted by his miss.
He said: "I know I need to prove myself to some people.
"I still think about that penalty miss sometimes but I have to get over it." | 2019-04-25T15:52:03 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/337149/Uwe-Rosler-Lay-off-Trotta |
And the home tour continues. During summer we also fixed my home office, mainly built me a new desk. The old was a beautiful vintage writing table from the 50’s that used to belong to my Grandma but it was too small and not functional. Even though it hurt to give up the old desk (it found a good home though!) I’m so happy to have enough space to work now.
You can read more about building the desk here. You can see my plans for it here. It consists mostly of Ikea Alex drawers, glulam, paint and Nautilus wallpaper by Cole & Son. Also the chair is new, it’s About A Chair by Hay.
The home office seems to be the only place where I’m allowed to add pink. Like I haven’t been able to convince the husband we need a pink sofa. (What’s up with that, huh?) The inspiration board is a DIY I made for Unelmien Talo&Koti magazine a couple of years ago, the instructions are online but only in Finnish.
And next… the creative chaos. This is actually the tidy version, believe it or not. I didn’t want to start clearing and styling it for the photos, because it is what it is. Exactly this. There’s some DIY projects from the past and (possibly) future. I hope there’s brewing something I can show you later.

The Brisbane Bandits have beaten the highly fancied Melbourne Aces to win the 2016/17 Australian Baseball League Championship Series and retain the Claxton Shield.
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? We’re about to find out.
It’s time for playoff baseball!
The Australian Baseball League postseason is set, and it’s the Adelaide Bite and Brisbane Bandits playing off for a spot in the ABL Championship Series against the Melbourne Aces.
With baseball season ramping up for an April 1st regular season start and all forms of cricket wrapped up or winding down, now is a good opportunity to really take a look at what makes these bat sports unique to each other.
Great writing! XO to all especially that beautiful boy?
Melbourne will host the Australian Baseball League’s 2016-17 season Championship Series after securing their place at the top of the ABL standings.
ABL week nine: Who wants the postseason?
There’s only two rounds left in the 2016-17 Australian Baseball League season and six teams are fighting for two spots.
It’s business time in the Australian Baseball League – Major Leaguers are pouring onto rosters around the country, local players are all trying to get a spot on the Team Australia roster for the World Baseball Classic in March and the standard of play is as high as it has ever been.
The All-Star break is done, everyone’s rested up and it’s time to get into week six of the Australian Baseball League.
I grew up in the era of the NBA where isolation basketball was at its peak. Stars like Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and Tracy McGrady would hoist up over 20 shots per game over multiple defenders.
We’re coming to the halfway point of the 2016/17 Australian Baseball League season and banking wins is becoming more and more critical.
Week three of the Australian Baseball League is upon us. | 2019-04-21T13:03:38 | https://www.theroar.com.au/roar-of-the-crowd/?category=baseball |
Decided to add a .243 (or two) to my stable for long range varmint shooting. My main intention for .243 is for my prairie dog trip to have a round that is ballistically superior to .223 for shots from 300-500 yards but with lower recoil than my 6.5CM to make spotting the hits / misses a bit easier and for a little less shooter fatigue. Hornady Custom Lite .243 87gr SST is kinda perfect for this.
So, I was really wanting the CZ 557 American (new 2019 model) but CZ-USA couldn't give me any timeframe when they would be available in the US, so being impatient, I went ahead and bought a Tikka T3x Hunter in .243. Literally, the day the Tikka arrived, I got a notification that the 557 was now available, which of course meant, I needed to buy it immediately. So, now I have these two beauties and finally got them out to Brookhaven this morning to check them out. Both are topped with Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 FFP MOA scopes. Both rifles have sporter barrels, 1:10 twist, the CZ has a 24" barrel, the Tikka has a 22.5" barrel. The fit and finish on both guns is superb. The CZ weighs about a 0.5 lb. more than the Tikka. Here's how they compare on aesthetics, ergonomics and function.
- Bluing on both guns is excellent, I'd give the edge to the Tikka for a more even finish. The Tikka has a recessed crown, the CZ does not.
- The wood stock on the Tikka is nice but feels a little thin, the CZ stock is much more solid; the pistol grip has a nice palm swell that makes the grip on the rifle feel more stable. Really like the stock on the CZ over the Tikka.
- Trigger: Out of the box, the Tikka has one of the best single-stage triggers there is. I have adjusted it down to about 2 lbs and it is fantastically crisp. The CZ also has an adjustable trigger, but I haven't touched it as it has just a TINY bit of take-up that makes it almost feel like a two-stage trigger.... I really like that.
I tested both rifles with Hornady Custom 87gr VMAX and Hornady Custom Lite (reduced recoil) 87gr SST. I plan to test other factory loads but this is all I had time for today. I like these loads because they have the same B/C and even though the velocity on the reduced recoil is lower, they zero at 100 yards with the same POI. Nice to be able to go back and forth between the two with the same zero and just calculate different trajectory. I was shooting at 100 yards with little to no wind. Here's what I got.
Tikka: Cold bore 5 shot group with the 87gr VMAX was 0.57" at 100 yards; as the gun heated up, the groups opened up to about 1.25"... still pretty respectable with a hot barrel. The 87gr SST with a "warm" bore produced a 4-shot 0.42" group with a one-shot flyer that made it 1.13", but three of the four shots were touching holes.... my worst group with this rifle was 1.34".... very impressive.
CZ: Cold bore 5 shot group with the 87gr VMAX was 0.65" at 100 yards; The 87gr SST with a "warm" bore produced a 5-shot 0.90" group. My worse group with this rifle was 1.27"... also very impressive.

Kind of a long story, but I ended up with a third .243, a Savage 11-VT. Yesterday, I got back to the range and did some extensive ammo testing with all three rifles. All three rifles were sighted in with Hornady Custom 87gr VMAX. I tested the following loads.
I've recently acquired a savage model 10 in 243 but it's only been to Mitchell Field . Been reloading small batches from 85 gr to 105gr but haven't been to the range yet to try them out. Last night reloaded 85 gr Sierra HPBT using 40 gr of IMR 4350.
Really nice write up. Thanks for taking the time to do it. .243 is one of my favorite calibers. | 2019-04-20T08:11:08 | https://www.longislandgunclub.com/forum/bolt-action/420031-tale-of-two-243-s |

This is our tour of the Great Ocean Road Australia as part of our Melbourne to Adelaide road trip on our around Australia journey. We visit some great campgrounds and explore all the top things to do on the Great Ocean road from the Otway ranges, seeing the kangaroos, birds and koalas at Kennett River and camping right by the 12 apostles themselves. We also go to London Bridge or London Arch or Loch Ard Gorge.
Our Great Ocean Road drive /camp adventure from Melbourne travelling to Adelaide. In this episode we stop at Cumberland river camp. We stay at the Cumberland River Campsite with is near Lorne and take a day trip into Lorne.
Koalas on the Great Ocean Road at Kennett River. The best place to see koalas in the wild.
We visit the rock statues or Buddhist style rock piles on the Great Ocean Road at Carisbrook Creek.
Great Ocean Road Rainforest at Maits Rest in the Otway Ranges. A Melbourne day trip on our around Australia trip.
The 12 Apostles at Sunset - We Had a Great Campsite right by here.
We visited Port Campbell a number of times and found its seclusion from Melbourne and the rest of society made it a peaceful place.There were a number of quality tourist parks, petrol stations, a few fancy restaurants. We visited the local store a couple of times to pick up supplies and found it was friendly but the prices came as a bit of a shock to us. We simply had not anticipated the cost of buying our regular supplies here and it was easily the most expensive of our entire road trip. I can understand though as the tourist season is short with windy conditions from Easter on making it too windy and cool to really enjoy a camping or caravan trip to this part of the word.

Back in 1921, Hollywood tasted the flavor of its first big fatty scandal. It roared from the front pages of newspaper magazines and concerned one Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, the silent era movies mega-star who had a million-dollar contract with Paramount. If there was but one actor more famous than Arbuckle, it was Charlie Chaplin.
With the flick of a finger, the fortunes changed for Arbuckle. The comedian — noted both for his extra hundred pounds as well as the exceptional agility he retained on screen — became one of the most detested persons nationwide. He was no longer worshiped for his acting but was suddenly hated for a wrongdoing, of which some details are puzzling even to date.
Along with his friend Fred Fischbach, Arbuckle traveled to San Francisco for some liquor-fueled partying during Labor Day break. They checked in at the St. Francis Hotel, where an opulent-looking suite awaited them, ready to accommodate what would be a gin party with a crowd of people.
According to Smithsonian, the days ahead of the partying were not the best ones for Arbuckle. He needed the break to recover from a busy filming schedule. Also, he had just suffered an accident in a garage where he was having his car fixed. He sat on a rag soaked with acid, which gave him second-degree burns. Arbuckle even wanted to call off the entire San Francisco thing, but his friend Fishbach was persistent they proceed with the plan.

Had he canceled, Arbuckle would have surely saved himself from all the troubles that were to follow.
Among the party attendees on September 5th that year, was an aspiring young actress, Virginia Rappe. She had experience as a fashion model and clothes designer, was a known party-goer, and her film career measured a limited success.
At one point during the evening, her screams were heard outside room 1219 and she was found lying on the bed, twisting in agony. A few days later, doctors pronounced her dead. The finger of blame was pointed towards Fatty Arbuckle.
Roscoe Arbuckle, Stars of the Photoplay, 1916.
This was enough to ruin both Arbuckle’s career and shake the foundations of Hollywood.
For the first time, people across the nation had a taste of the sordid life, the real affairs of the stars they were so keen on seeing only in theaters.
According to Arbuckle, he had done nothing wrong to the young actress. He insisted on his innocence, that he found Rappe in the bathroom in a very bad condition and vomiting. According to his statements, he and other guests tried to help her as everyone assumed she had consumed too much liquor. She was accordingly accommodated in a room alone to recover and attended by a doctor.

In the following days, Rappe’s condition worsened and she was hospitalized. Delmont insisted that Rappe had been sexually assaulted by Arbuckle, but a medical check reportedly did not find traces of abuse. Rappe died from secondary peritonitis caused by a ruptured bladder.
For Arbuckle, this all meant an accusation of manslaughter. The Yellow Press fed on it and generated sensational headlines that proved fatal for the actor. Their depictions of him were monstrous.
The case equally attracted activists. Some of their demands were that Arbuckle should face the death penalty. Hollywood executives were quick to disassociate from Arbuckle. Everything was happening before any conclusion in the trial was reached.
However, Delmont, the principal person laying blame on the comedian, was someone with a criminal record in her portfolio. Allegedly, she already had a track record for sending young women to parties attended by rich people. Men were later accused of sexual assault and blackmailed by Delmont and her network.
Arbuckle and his defense lawyers at the first trial, November 1921.
The woman later admitted to plotting in the Arbuckle’s case too. It was further revealed that some witnesses called in the trials were also intimidated to share statements that proved damaging for the comedian.
Delmont’s statements were also inconsistent. At one point, she reportedly claimed to be an old friend of Rappe, and in another one, she persuaded everyone the two had met each other only a couple of days before the party.
Arbuckle was tried three times before he was ultimately cleared of the charges. The first and second rounds ended in a hung jury. During the third one, which took place in 1922, it took judges no less than six minutes to unanimously free the comedian of charges. He was found guilty only on the grounds of illicit alcohol consumption (this was still the Prohibition era).
Although Arbuckle was cleared, his case had significant implications all around Tinseltown. For one, this was the first case which affected the box office. As the scandal erupted, his films were pulled from theaters.

The case further helped the foundation of a Hollywood censorship board, according to the BBC. This board was quick to dismiss Arbuckle, not allowing him to take any new work. He was removed from the blacklist a few months after the case was resolved.

Perhaps most painfully for Arbuckle, the public was not convinced of his innocence. His name remained blackened by whatever it was that happened that Labor Day in the St. Francis Hotel. He had lost both his fame and fortune.
Ahead of him, there was a long road to recovery from the nightmare. For a decade, Arbuckle worked as a director under the new name of William B. Goodrich (Will B. Good). He died from a heart attack in his sleep, in 1933, aged 46.

Celebrating the season has never been so delicious, healthy or easy. Bone Broth Protein Pumpkin Spice is a superfood protein powder with amino acids, important minerals and 20 grams of protein per serving.
The most abundant protein in our bodies, it’s vital to many aspects of our health. Did you know collagen is found mostly in our bodies’ tendons, tissues, bones and skin, providing structure and strength?
Unfortunately, a vast majority of pumpkin spice beverages on the market are often loaded with sugar, fake flavors and other controversial ingredients, including the thickening agent carrageenan.
In fact, the nutritional profile for one of America’s most popular 16-ounce pumpkin spice lattes contains 50 grams of sugar.
At a time when we desperately need to reduce sugar consumption, consider this: One 16-ounce drink contains about all of the added sugars an adult should consume in an entire day.
The Collagen types I & III found in beef bone broth are especially beneficial for skin health, in addition to gut and joint benefits. See the features of beef bone broth, found in Bone Broth Protein Pumpkin Spice, below. | 2019-04-19T11:13:12 | https://store.draxe.com/products/bone-broth-protein-pumpkin-spice |

Too often lately, there have been too many stories of LGBT people and allies being fired from Catholic institutions because of their identities, marriages, or support of LGBT equality. So, it’s a refreshing change to report on a case where an out gay man is serving safely and successfully at a Catholic school and has only positive things to report about his experience.
Keith Johnston leads the band at Sacred Heart University.
“When I started at Sacred Heart University 14 years ago, despite having been out for a lot of years, I came in with a pre-conceived notion of how my Catholic college students would react to a gay director. While the administration that hired me was aware I was gay, I’m not Catholic, and I wasn’t experienced enough at that time to know how – or even if – I should integrate the personal side of who I am as a person into my teaching.
“Take the usual uncertainty that many young gay men and women have, add in a few comments about “band geeks” and “band nerds” (often coming from a high school sports team), and you have a recipe for stunting the emotional and personal growth of thousands of kids – harsh words and sentiments that could set them back for years.
“Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. My door is always open to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
“Sexuality and gender is a spiritual gift.
“All of who you are is sacred.
I can’t think of any better expression of Catholic values about humankind, identity, and hospitality. I think Pope Francis has, in other ways, expressed those same values.
I also can’t think of a better argument for why Catholic institutions, especially schools, should continue to employ LGBT people. The gifts they bring from their personal struggle and growth are a blessing to all they serve.
New Ways Ministry’s Eighth National Symposium, Justice and Mercy Shall Kiss: LGBT Catholics in the Age of Pope Francis, is scheduled for April 28-30, 2017, Chicago, Illinois. For more information, visit www.Symposium2017.org.
An inspiring story from a truly inspired and self-integrated man. But would his employment even have begun, much less continued, had he been Catholic? | 2019-04-25T16:00:25 | https://www.newwaysministry.org/2017/04/23/gay-band-director-is-example-to-students-and-to-catholic-schools/ |

"Gilbert" Typeface Honours LGBT Artist and Activist Gilbert Baker - We Resist.
A new font has been created in honour of LGBT artist and activist Gilbert Baker, who created the rainbow flag in 1978 as a way to represent the diversity and vibrancy of the queer community.
The bold typeface is simply called “Gilbert” and was created by an initiative called Type With Pride – a collaboration between NewFest, NYC Pride, Ogilvy & Mather’s design agency and a font creation platform called Fontself.
The Gilbert typeface can be downloaded for free here and can be promoted with the hashtag #TypeWithPride. | 2019-04-26T05:57:52 | https://weresist.org/2017/04/24/gilbert-typeface-honours-lgbt-artist-and-activist-gilbert-baker/ |
What Was The Good News For September 2016?
Grapevine’s Gaylord Texan Resort broke ground on September 8, 2016 on their $120 million expansion project. Expected to be complete in 2019, the construction will add more than 300 new guest rooms and 86,000 square feet of meeting space, bringing the hotel’s total to 1,811 guest rooms and 490,000 square feet of meeting space. The Grapevine property intends to compete for conventions and conferences as the 2nd largest hotel in Texas, right behind the Sheraton Dallas Hotel with 1,840 guest rooms.
Texas export volumes surpass other states by a substantial and growing margin, and the Houston metro area ranks No. 1 in the state merchandise exports, according to a report by The Perryman Group.Texas export shipments of merchandise totaled $251.1 billion in 2015. California ranked a distant second with $165.4 billion. The goods from Texas were bound for more than 200 markets around the globe. In terms of industries, Texas’ largest export category was computer and electronic products, with $45.4 billion of the total merchandise exported last year. Petroleum and coal products exports were 2nd and added $44.1 billion in exports. Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land topped the list with $119 billion, followed by Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington with $28.7 billion.
Amazon has announced an additional North Texas fulfillment center, marking the online retailer’s eighth Texas facility and big news for North Texas employment. The Seattle-based firm already employs more than 10,000 full-time hourly associates at its current Texas fulfillment centers. Amazon will move into an existing warehouse at DFW Airport in Coppell that will create 1,000 new jobs. Employees at this new facility will pick, pack and ship larger customer items, such as big screen televisions, kayaks, and patio furniture.
The Charles Schwab Corp. will build a $100 million, 500,000-square-foot regional campus in Westlake that ultimately will bring 1,200 jobs to North Texas within 10 years. The corporate complex will anchor a mixed-use development at the intersection of Texas 114 and Texas 170, where developers also plan a hotel, retail stores and residences. Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday that the project will get a $6 million grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund, creating the most new jobs of any enterprise fund grant made during his administration.
Flying burritos will soon be a reality over Virginia Tech. Chipotle is taking part in a test this month that will let some of the university’s students and staff have their favorite tortilla-wrapped meal delivered by drone.Virginia Tech is conducting the test with Project Wing, a unit of Google owner Alphabet Inc., which makes self-flying devices that deliver food, medicine and other goods. Chipotle’s burritos will be put together at a food truck and then loaded on a drone. The flights will take place at an undisclosed site on Virginia Tech property, but not at the main campus in Blacksburg, said Mark Blanks, director of Virginia Tech’s Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership. “It’s real customers that are working and need lunch and want it delivered by drone,” Blanks said. Hundreds of flights and burrito deliveries are expected to take place over several days, Project Wing said. It will just be burritos, though. Other menu items won’t be delivered by drone, said Chris Arnold, a spokesman for Denver-based Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. | 2019-04-23T20:10:04 | https://kwdallasmetronorth.wordpress.com/2016/09/ |
Rated PG-13 for disturbing images.
Well made, a great version of a much loved tale, 11 October 2005 Author: tresdodge from London I was somewhat ambivalent about the thought of one of my favourite directors making a version of the much loved classic tale Oliver Twist. On the one had Roman Polanski crafts wonderful and moving films extremely well so I was intrigued to see how he would weave this one together. From his early 'Knife in the water' through to 'The Pianist' each has his trademark directorial stamp on it whilst still being truly incredible and individual films. On the other hand, the Oliver Twist tale has been screened to death both in two highly regarded films as well as multifarious TV versions over the years. In my opinion David Lean's version is fantastic, Alec Guiness superb as Fagin and the whole film experience has kept me going back from childhood through to adulthood.So it was with great trepidation that I went to see this spanking brand new version and thankfully I was not disappointed. The character of Fagin, so crucial to the story, is performed with outstanding ability by Ben Kingsley. He really portrays this grotesque but somehow lovable character well from his slight mannerisms and movements to his vocal abilities. Also, finely performed were the parts of the artful dodger (Harry Eden), Mr Brownlowe (Edward Hardwicke) and of course Oliver Twist (Barney Clarke). There was such sadness and despair in his eyes throughout that he really captured the part well. Less convincing was Bill Sykes (Jamie Foreman) who was not right for the part nor performed well enough to stand up against the masterful Oliver Reed in a previous version. Foreman is a regular in gangster type films and for me did not really fit into the cast or film well here.The recreation of mid 19th century London is done well with Polanski drawing on the visual inspiration of Dore prints of the period for authenticity. The cinematography is as accomplished as always in a Polanski film and the lighting helped to create dramatic moods well.All in all a very competent and entertaining version with great acting, a fine pace and an outstanding final scene of Fagin finished and soon to face death gripping hold of Oliver tightly. I would highly recommend to adults, children and die hard fans of other versions. All great directors have different visions and Polanski has used his vision and experienced craftmanship in successfully remaking this much loved tale. | 2019-04-21T04:38:35 | http://movieposters.2038.net/movieid-1125 |

We have officially joined the world of the sleep deprived. Barney was awake and wanted to feed all through last night between about midnight and 7.15am this morning. Beth never did this so I hadn't been prepared but the midwife had warned me Sunday morning to expect it. There is a positive spin to it all as Barney's hunger means my milk has come in and hopefully we won't have too many more completely sleepless nights. Hang on a mo - why am I saying "we" since Tom did sleep through the night? Lucky him. Still he doesn't cope as well with interrupted sleep so he's having loads of kips in the day too when he can.
There's something about feeling like you're the only person awake in the world in the early hours to get you thinking about things. Nothing too deep - too tired for that. But it was lovely bonding with Barney. He's so alert! He can express everything to me with his eyes, mouth and hands so far. Most of the messages are that he's hungry - that's always a good one to pick up on. Last night it felt like everytime he'd fallen asleep nicely at the end of a feed and I was just wrapping him up to put in the cot, he'd jerk awake and look at me indignantly. Then he'd start opening his mouth up in a cute little round motion and try to eat his hand. He's good at getting his point across. He also likes trying to fling himself off my shoulder in order to get in the position for feeding to let me know he's ready too. Subtle.
Beth was in daycare today so we got to enjoy Barney in a peaceful house until Tom picked her up at 5pm. She's coping brilliantly with our new addition. She hasn't become unsettled with her routine as yet so she's going to bed at 7pm which gives us a break in the evening and me a chance to go to bed early. She also seems to be calming down a bit around Barney so he's less likely to be poked in the eye or have her shout right next to him, "Hello Barnaby!".
So all is going well and our memories of caring for a newborn seem to have come flooding back to us after a two year break.
I can just imagine Beth shouting hello like that - gave me a good chuckle. | 2019-04-25T08:09:00 | http://shamblings.blogspot.com/2007/09/barnaby-at-5-days-old.html |

Whether you’re an avid dog or cat lover, anyone who owns a pet is well aware of the joy and playfulness that a furry, feathered, or scaly creature can bring to our lives. And while many people are guilty of anthropomorphizing their critter (even going so far as to play dress up with the ever-indulging pet) it is not as common for us humans to take a cue from our furry friends when it comes to day-to-day life.
Even though we may not be able to live our lives unemployed, pampered, and well fed the way our favorite furry friends do (such a hard life, to be a cat!) we can still learn a few habits from these often so fortunate animals.
When a cat wants to go somewhere, she gets up and walks. When you get home from work, what’s the first thing your dog wants to do after bounding up to greet you? Go for a walk. It may seem simple, but walking is a surprisingly healthy activity that many of us forgo for the sake of convenience or even sheer laziness. Numerous studies have found that walking improves your overall health, from your brain to your heart to your mood. So, if you can walk to your destination, go for it without question.
You may want to text your friend, make dinner, and catch up on your work emails all at once, but if you divide your attention among too many things at the same time, you’re not doing any one of them very well – not to mention possibly hurting yourself in the process. Have you ever known an animal to multitask? Nope. If your dog is eating, nothing will drag her away. If your hedgehog is running in his wheel, you can bet he’s not trying to eat at the same time. Researchers at Harvard have discovered that multitasking can hinder your brain’s ability to retain information and stay agile. So, put down the Smartphone, frying pan, and tablet – pick what’s important at the moment and focus.
Pets of all ages never lose their sense of playfulness. (Yes, even the grumpiest of cats can be swayed into a moment of friskiness by a wiggled strand of yarn or feathery toy.) We may think as we get older that we have no use for playing games or other silliness, but it is as essential for our health and well being as any other physical activity. Playing fetch with your dog, throwing a Frisbee with your friends, or even just telling some jokes to your coworkers can improve social skills, increase brain function, relieve stress, and boost creativity.

The month of October means anything spooky, creepy and downright terrifying ….at least for me. It is the month of Halloween after all and I do nothing in half measures. So with the house decorated with witch figurines, faux gravestones and ghost candles and Thriller playing on my Spotify, I like to do what I do best: sit in my comfy chair and read a book. Naturally, that book will be spooky, creepy and downright terrifying because remember that half measures thing I just mentioned? I’m definitely in the mood to get scared while sipping my pumpkin latte.
Here are Recess’ top spine-chilling picks for our Recess Reads during the month of October. Check them out if you dare (laughs evilly).
The House Next Door, written by Anne Rivers Siddons, isn’t your standard haunted house fiction but it definitely has a high-level creep factor. When a happily married couple, the Kennedys, living in blissful suburbia finds out a new house will be built on the empty lot next door, they couldn’t be happier. They’re all like, “Welcome to the neighborhood. The more the merrier!” But that all changes when odd happenings and eventual tragedies start to plague the home and its occupants. Something is not quite right with the house next door and the Kennedys are determined to get to the bottom of it before disaster strikes again and property values plummet!
I have to admit Simone St. James’ The Haunting of Maddy Clare didn’t really scare me, however, I really enjoyed reading this novel. With a blend of mystery, history, drama and romance, this is a tale about a team of ghost hunters as they investigate the odd circumstances surrounding the life and death of a vengeful man-hating apparition. The story is narrated by the main character, Sara Piper, a down-on-the-luck woman who is just happy to get a job, albeit a strange one. As she grows close to her fellow hunters, dashing Alistair and not-so-dashing Matthew, Sara starts to piece together the puzzle surrounding Maddy’s ghost and the reason she is so hell-bent on seeking revenge at any cost.
I’m about to go old school and by that I mean this book is from the 80’s (I refer to anything from the 80’s as old school). I’ve read many novels by Mary Higgins Clark, who’s known as a best-selling suspense author, and for good reason. A Cry in the Dark is her only book that really stayed with me because it scared me shitless silly. I’m talking about looking-over-my-shoulder and jumping-at-every-sound scared. The story follows single-mom, Jenny, as she meets and marries handsome and successful, Eric, the man of her dreams. After Jenny and her children move to Eric’s huge farm, strange and frightening things start to occur during dark and lonely nights. When tragedy strikes, Jenny realizes her dreams have turned into nightmares.
John Connolly’s Every Dead Thing is the first novel in the Charlie Parker Series and the first detective novel I’ve read that contains a supernatural element. The story follows former NYPD detective, Charlie Parker, and his quest to find the man responsible for the brutal murders of his wife and daughter. Driven by ghostly visions, Parker finds that he’s willing to do just about anything to catch the sadistic killer, even if it means becoming a killer himself. Just know that Every Dead Thing is not for the faint of heart and the main character is kind of a jerk (yes, I know his family was murdered but still). So, if you can withstand disturbing content and a protagonist who won’t win any personality contests, this book is for you.
I recently read Pines, first in the Wayward Pines trilogy, for two reasons; the first being as an Amazon Prime member, I was able to borrow it for free on my Kindle. Second, despite having low ratings on Goodreads, my favorite place for book reviews, Pines has been adapted into a TV series on FOX which will premier in 2015. Soooooo…..someone must have really liked it. Right? The story is about a U.S. Secret Service agent, crappy husband and father, Ethan Burke, who wakes up (in bad shape) on the edge of Wayward Pines, a seemingly idyllic town in Idaho. With massive injuries and fuzzy memories, Burke makes his way into Wayward Pines and quickly realizes that something about this place is wrong — like Mayberry on steroids wrong. What happened to his two fellow agents who previously disappeared while investigating the town? Why can’t he make contact with anyone on the outside? And most importantly, why can’t he leave? Although the book had some serious editing issues, the story itself was pretty entertaining and I’m sure the show will be too. | 2019-04-25T08:02:36 | https://recesslv.com/18721/recess-reads-october/ |

10:39am EST- Geithner panel done, Donovan panel beginning.
In fact, Gross urged a move one step further, with the full nationalization of the GSEs – as the GSEs are nationalized now in all but writing, this would be logical. Alas, the fact that US Debt to GDP would jump from 90% to 140% may make this proposal a little difficult to implement.
It is incredibly obvious, to me anyway, that the plan is to convert all those foreclosures to GSE Section 8 rentals with taxpayer subsidized guarantees and payments. And to think all those people didn’t want to help the homeowners. HA!! Now we will help renters instead. PS I dont see Mark Zandi…..good, he has been WRONG, wrong on the spendulus, wrong on the recovery, wrong, wrong, wrong.
and Bill Gross keeps calling Geithner, Tim, which reminds me of Sen Tester calling Chairman Bernanke, Ben, during the last Humprhey Hawkins testimony. I find it very disconcerting. PRETEND you dont own these people mkay? sheesh.
Update 4: Bill Gross says let me address reality. It is an 11 trillion dollar market and a large place for private entities here is unrealistic.
Pfft! Require housing counseling, etc. Oh here we go BACK TO CRA good grief. As long as everyone gets ‘theirs’ frak the taxpayers right people? Jeebus! Marc says as long as Main St and Back St get covered we are aall good. O..M…G… Main St is PAYING FOR ALL THIS SHXT!!!!!
The government should create an apartment real estate investment trust (REIT) to rent out foreclosed properties — a method that would avoid flooding the housing market with foreclosed properties, a real estate consultant said as President Obama’s “Future of Housing Finance Conference” kicked off Tuesday.
John Burns, CEO of John Burns Real Estate Consulting, said the government-created REIT would be self-sustaining via rental fees. The government-sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, would hire outside property-management firms to manage the rental properties, Burns said….
ZeroHedge has a nice write up. Geithner is on record indicating the implicit guarantee needs to be explicit, and PIMCO’s Bill Gross is REALLY CLEAR they will NOT be buying any mortgage securities unless we move back to a 30% down model. Since the government will not ‘take the pain’, pain we taxpayers KNOW is ALREADY coming for US BTW, they need to reflate the bubble, so Bill gets what Bill wants, an explicit guarantee…guaranteed!
Tomorrow, a variety of luminaries, such as Bill Gross and Mark Zandi, will be panelists in a worthless and futile spectacle titled “Conference on the Future of Housing Finance ” which has the aim of doing something or another to extend and pretend the ticking timebomb that are the bankrupt GSEs. It will most certainly succeed in that regard. What it will definitely fail at, is to provide some resolution to the $7 trillion mortgage “holding” problem, which incidentally was the first domino to fall in 2008, which just so happened nearly took down western-style capitalism with it (and morbidly, it should have: the result would have been a system infinitely better).
Yet as we prepare for this hearing (and try to track down Mr. Gross’ testimony to validate his previous statement that absent an implicit government guarantee he would buy MBS/Agency securities only with 30% down), here is another view, this one from none other than Edward Pinto, who himself was an executive vice president and chief credit officer at Fannie Mae in the late 1980s. As Pinto says, echoing the previous high dB statements by Rick Santelli, “We’ll never get a rational mortgage system until the government’s affordable housing mandates are ended.” We couldn’t agree more….
• A requirement that issuers of securities meet affordable housing mandates.
This is a dead end for two reasons. First, while supporters of an explicit federal guarantee tell us it will never be called upon, Americans have read this book before and know how it ends….

Between 5th and 11th September 2016, PANDAS launched and hosted the first Pre & Post Natal Depression Awareness Week (#PNDAW16) in the UK.
It was an opportunity for us to highlight perinatal mental illnesses, the symptoms and how people get the help they need.
Although mental health is being spoken about more than it ever has, pre and post natal mental illnesses are still left in the dark, given that 1 in 10 women and 1 in 3 men battle with these illnesses during parenthood. With your help, by talking about perinatal mental illnesses in its many forms during PND Awareness Week we can ensure that no parent going through these heartbreaking illnesses feels alone in their fight.
Together we launched #PNDAW16 in order to raise awareness to support those currently suffering, to reach those that have yet to become aware that the way they are feeling is an illness, and to urge them to get the necessary support.
During the week, we featured tips and advice for those suffering with pre or post natal mental illness as well as tips for family and friends supporting others. We will also featured blogs written by our supporters, volunteers and service users, highlighting personal experiences and self-care.
It is vital to us that nobody suffers in silence. | 2019-04-26T08:05:16 | http://www.pandasfoundation.org.uk/pndaw2016/ |
Most people are just interested in how much their homeowner’s policy is going to cost them and getting the lowest priced premium they can find. So with people always searching for the best “deal” it’s natural that I get asked over and over again, “what Florida Insurance carrier has the cheapest homeowner’s policies?” This question is a valid one and it’s usually answered differently from one person to the next.
Every Florida homeowner has their own unique set of circumstances that determine the cost of their homeowner’s policy. So many things play into the premium price from the age and style of your roof, the way a home was constructed, whether or not you have Hurricane windows, what county you live in and how close you are to the ocean…just to name a few.
So if you’re thinking about moving to Florida, looking to purchase an investment property in the Sunshine State or simply wanting to know which insurance carriers offer the most competitive home insurance rates, we’ll be reviewing which Florida carriers, on average, have the most affordable rates on homeowner’s premiums. We will also be discussing which counties in Florida have the lowest average home insurance premiums and which counties have the highest homeowner’s policies. This will give you a clear picture of which areas of the state are the most affordable home insurance rates and which have the highest homeowner’s rates. You’ll also know the Florida home insurance carriers that have the best and worst prices. So let’s get to the meat and potatoes and look at the numbers.
Homeowner’s Insurance Rates in Florida…So Who’s the Cheapest?
Below we’ve detailed the five Florida Insurance carriers that offer the most affordable home insurance policies statewide. Please keep in mind this information is only an example to give you a better understanding of which carriers in Florida offer the lowest rates. The list is arranged from lowest to highest homeowner’s rates based on the average cost of a homeowner’s policy.
It’s probably not surprising for you to see that Citizens Property Insurance Corporation is on this list. Citizens is backed by the state of Florida and was originally established to be the insurer of last resort for residents. Now it’s none as the primary home insurer in the state. It’s funny how things work when a local, state or federal government is involved. ? So you may be wondering what counties in Florida have the lowest homeowner’s rates…well let’s take a look.
Leon County is home to the state’s capital, Tallahassee, and Florida State University. Being that it is such a big college town you might be surprised to see they are also home to the lowest homeowner’s rates in Florida. The county’s average homeowners policy comes in at $1,120, which is a staggering 50% lower than the state’s average.
Putnam County rounds out the top 5 counties with the most affordable home insurance rates coming in with an average policy costing $1,392, which is 38% below the average policy in Florida. So now you know which part of Florida has the lowest home insurance rates, let’s take a look at what parts of the state have the most expensive homeowner’s rates.
This probably doesn’t come as any surprise to see Monroe County rings in with the highest average homeowner’s insurance rates in Florida, being that it’s home to the famous tourist destination, Key West! With so much pristine waterfront real estate and the fact that it’s an island the average home insurance premium comes in at $5,543. This is 147% higher than the state’s average…YIKES! I guess that’s the price you have to pay to live in paradise!
Indian River County holds the 5th highest homeowner’s rates in the state of Florida weighing in with an average policy of $3,705, which is just over 65% above the state average. Vero Beach is Indian River’s county seat and is known for it’s beautiful beaches and waterfront mansions.
You might be wondering where Broward and Palm Beach County wound up on this list as they are known for their beachfront property? Palm Beach just missed the top 5 coming in at the 6th most expensive county for home insurance and Broward was right behind sitting in the 7th position.
There are a lot of different things that can be done to help save you money, provide you with more homeowner’s coverage and/or accomplished both. Just give us a call to find out how! | 2019-04-24T02:16:48 | https://www.asecurityinsurance.com/florida-counties-home-insurance-companies-with-the-lowest-homeowners-rates/ |

Jeffrey Lewis brings his brand of anti-folk to Liverpool’s Leaf and Getintothis’ Kieran Donnachie was on hand to try his folk dancing.
Anti Folk is a punk ethos as applied to folk music; rejecting the traditions and dogma set by those before. Well most of their records fit the style and, yes, a few tracks tonight aren’t strictly Anti Folk. How else can one project the illusion of knowledge though?
It’s JD Meatyard who ease us into our night of tearing up the hallowed Folk Bible. There’s a lack of the lyricism and dulcet tones you’d find at any other Harvest Sun gig, but the words land home. They’re earnest, emotive and strikingly personal.
They blend the modern folk of America with the more traditional Irish and British forms, one moment is measured blues and suddenly becomes a kinetic Celtic number. Spicing things up are the lefty buzzwords peppered through the lyrics. He calls out the Tories and Murdoch, surely eliciting eye rolls in many places, but Liverpool is good people. JD Meatyard is met with the biggest cheers of the night.
Clearly not a band to be shown up, Jeffrey Lewis and Lost Bolts open with a crowd favourite, The Fall’s Eat Y’Self Fitter. It’s not often you the crowd chimes in on the first track, thank you Mark E Smith.
As they start pulling from their own repertoire an upmarket Windows Media Player visualisation begins to play on the wall behind them. Entrancing as it is, the projector’s true purpose is for Jeffrey Lewis’ other artistic output, his comic books, and a few songs during the night are accompanied by his drawings. Each tell a story about topics such as cannibal monkeys, the fall of the soviet union and finally the B movie tale of The Creeping Brain.
The art itself is reflective of the music too being in the style of underground comix, very much the lo-fi indie of the comic world. This intersection of both medium is reminiscent of Daniel Johnston, leaning toward twee while still remaining intimate and certainly plays well with the audience here at Leaf.
Folk is not a music you would necessarily associate with getting you dancing, but an infusion of syrupy pop punk relieves the usual po-faced flavour. The nodding becomes bopping and blank faces become grins, right up to and through the encore.
A few voices shout out requests, but they get right into an Iron Maiden cover. The Trooper is a leftfield pick, but makes the night of the scattered dads in the crowd. As the other members step off stage, Jeffrey Lewis treats us to two final songs, unable to step away from a crowd so rapt. Each is successively introspective, covering his possibly fictitious life, and fittingly mellow to close the show.
Then he steps back from the mic and points to his final slide of art. | 2019-04-23T10:36:52 | http://www.getintothis.co.uk/2018/04/jeffrey-lewis-and-los-bolts-jd-meatyard-liverpool-leaf/ |
I am heading down south! Friday November 7th I will be with the GIFFT Wines team at Costco in Charlotte, North Carolina. Come by and say hi! | 2019-04-22T16:13:16 | http://www.kathieleegifford.com/update/gifft-wines-charlotte-nc-november-7/ |
We’re starting 2019 with a look back at 2018, which we view as a year when Orleans County decided to stand up on its hind legs. This part of Vermont got loud last year.
Rural Vermont is struggling. Actually, rural America is struggling, making Vermont no exception, but we see those struggles firsthand here.
Dairy farming, long a critical part of the economy, is floundering. Sad farmers are going out of business at an alarming rate, and with them go support industries.
Opiate use is rampant, and sustaining the addiction has led to an increase in burglaries, thefts, and unemployable people. Most of us here are old enough to remember when you left your keys in the car and the house unlocked without a second thought. The transition from trust to suspicion has been painful.
We’re not strangers to hardship here, but this is different. Those now dying farms tended to absorb people who would be marginal, or unsuitable, employees, in a more formal setting. Family, and community, were stronger. Children were often poor, their parents busy, but they knew where home was, and who loved them.
Today, schools are dealing with a generation of children who wonder where their next meal is coming from, or where they’re going to sleep. Many are brought up by grandparents. Teachers are as much social workers as they are anything else.
And Vermont has a Legislature dominated by Chittenden County, or at least an urban mindset. Too often of late, laws have been passed that might solve a problem in Burlington but create one in Barton. We were happy to hear Governor Scott recognize that in his Inaugural Address, though he didn’t mention how he planned to tackle that particular issue, if at all.
We can think of so many examples, but will just mention a couple. For instance, the recycling law was well intentioned. Telling trash haulers they must make one run to pick up trash and another, free, to pick up recyclables, is doable for a hauler whose dense customer route is five miles. It’s a rather different story for a hauler whose route in a day is 105 miles.
Then there’s Act 46. There are all its potential legal failings. For one, is it legal to force a community to take on the debt of another, a debt they had no say in acquiring? And if it is, is it right? Beyond that, what forced mergers fail to do is grasp the importance of community in rural Vermont. And school is often the center of community.
To be fair, talk to proponents of Act 46, and they will say it’s not intended to close schools; it’s intended to improve education. But we maintain that a big district board with no vested interest in a single town, but an interest in budget figures and property taxes, is far more likely to close a school than that particular school district would.
But even given that long, bleak list of concerns, we are optimistic about 2019. Because last year, and going into this one, Orleans County spoke up.
The North Country Supervisory Union is still battling Act 46 and seeking an alternative structure. Several districts in the Orleans Central Supervisory Union have joined onto a lawsuit challenging Act 46 and forced mergers.
Irasburg, in particular, has been loud in its opposition, with the select board, the school board, and the planning commission joining the suit.
And then there’s the landfill. Members of DUMP (Don’t Undermine Memphremagog’s Purity) have brought attention to a situation that’s garnered little to none for decades.
Does the state do a good job of monitoring the place? Quite likely. Most people in Vermont accuse the state of being heavy handed, rather than lax, in its regulatory efforts. Is it a good location for the state’s only, and enormous, landfill? No. Should it be very closely watched and tested in view of its proximity to such major waterways? Absolutely.
What DUMP has done is raise questions, draw attention. And that’s a good thing. We received a well spoken letter to the editor recently pointing out that reasonable people ask reasonable questions about policies that could affect their well-being.
The Northeast Kingdom does not have a strong position in the Legislature, none of rural Vermont likely does. Our two senators carry weight. Bobby Starr and John Rodgers, both Democrats, have fairly big voices in the smaller Senate.
However, last year the people themselves got noisy, questioning legislation and policies they’re skeptical about. Sometimes they might be right, sometimes they might be wrong.
Perhaps Act 46 really will transform education in Vermont. Perhaps the landfill is, and always will be, completely safe. Perhaps without universal broadband or cell service, people will flock to rural Vermont. Perhaps dairy farms will spontaneously revive, and opiates will just as spontaneously go away.
But even if none of that happens, we find it encouraging that people are putting up a good fight to have some say in their schools, communities, and environment. Democracy works best when people say something and do something, and in 2018 Orleans County did both. — T.S. | 2019-04-20T06:21:02 | https://bartonchronicle.com/year-end/ |
Defines exact procedures for measuring different properties.
To be able to compare properties of different products or materials, the properties must be tested in exactly the same way. For example temperature and humidity can affect the test results and these parameters are therefore defined in the test method as is the test equipment, size and shape of the test specimens, speed of the test, test duration and more. | 2019-04-26T14:20:23 | http://protective.ansell.com/en/Knowledge/Standards/Test-Methods/ |
When a friend or family member is going through a divorce or separation you can play an important part in helping them through.
They may be looking to you for advice or opinion, and at times it will be hard not to take sides or get drawn in to the conflict your friend or relative may be experiencing.
Whatever you might think about your friend’s or family member’s ex-partner, remember that they are still the parent of the children who are caught in the middle of things. The best advice you can give is that they contact a local National Family Mediation mediator who will be able to guide your friend or family member through the emotional and practical upheaval that happens when family relationships breakdown.
If your friend or family member asks for your advice, assure them that, with guidance through family mediation, they can and will make the decision that is right for their situation.
You might also want to help find support services that they will be able to access or ask others who have been in a similar situation to recommend professionals whom they have found helpful, respectful and impartial.
How the parents will look after themselves so that their children can be supported through the family changes. | 2019-04-23T04:21:49 | https://www.nfm.org.uk/about-family-mediation-services/information-for-friends-family/ |

I am going to CR at the end of April and am looking for good, affordable! surf lessons. I am a total beginner (never been on a board...) and am travelling low budget and all I can find is combined surf camp (lessons + accomodation) offers for at least 800USD/week. Surely there must be better offers?!
Costa Rica is over priced and over rated.
Well, I am on a trip around the globe and I will be in Costa Rica anyway, so I wanted to extend my stay for some surfing time. I won't be in Peru, Nicaragua or Dom Rep.
You have to stop by Playa Hermosa, 5 minutes south of Jaco Beach. It is the spoy!
Hermosa is a great spot to chill for a few days. Good, Consistent Surf in front of Surf Inn Hermosa and you can check their live webcam at www.crsurfcam.com. Fun Surf Contests on the Weekend in front of Backyard with a mellow vibe.Great food at Vista Hermosa and reasonable place to stay at Cabinas Rancho Grande. You won't be disappointed.
Costa Rica isn't cheap! I guess to find a surf camp is your best option. They usually charge around $70 just for 2 hour lessons with rental board! | 2019-04-19T00:42:05 | http://www.globalsurfers.com/read_thread.cfm?ForumID=Costa%20Rica&ThreadID=102755&Thread=14813 |
You enhance how your house yard looks if you maintain it well. Your house is regarded more highly in the marketplace.
When people visit your residence, their first impression is your exterior. You therefore need to take time to get the right professional to do that work.
It is complex landing on the right firm that can do an impeccable job. However, there are qualities you can look in the right designer.
You start your research on the internet where there is ample information. You will get to read reviews of clients who have enjoyed the services of the designers in the past.
It is advisable to choose a landscaping designer who has a wealth of experience in the industry. Find out about their reputation in the industry.
Check whether the company you are hiring is authorized to do business in your area. Ask from people around your locality about the right firm to hire.
In every state there are relevant authorities who are tasked with the responsibility of overseeing what goes on in the in the industry. If the firm you are considering has membership in such a body then you have made the right choice.
You must contract a landscaping company that has a proper and adequate insurance cover. You will not want a scenario where you are called upon to shoulder legal liability for accidents that have occurred on site.
You will want to know the extent of the work that the landscape designer can handle. It is recommended that you go for the one that has an extensive scope of services.
It is essential that the company shows you other jobs that he has performed previously. That gives an idea of the quality of work that he will do on your project.
It is vital that the landscaping expert visit your residence to inspect the work at hand. He will give advice on how best to design the landscape.
With the information in his possession he should be able to tell you how much the project will cost you. You expect that the rates you will be given will include every detail to avoid surprises later.
It is important to hire a firm that has a reputation of treating its customers well. Go for an expert that will maintain and monitor the job after leaving the site.
Enquire about the duration the designer will spend on the job. This is important so that you can know how to organize your time if your presence is needed at the site.
It is important that you have a contract between you and the designer. The document gives you assurance that the project will be carried out as stipulated.
We are at a point in time when sustainability means everything. It is vital that our choices, energy production, our food, and its production methods be sustainable and viable. The amount of beef consumed in the world in a single day is beyond the meaning of the word enormous. Think of it as being in the metric tons per day region. However, the process of generating this beef is now causing harm to the environment. It is just no longer tenable. Among the ways that you, the beef lover, can ensure that sustainability comes back to beef production is by starting to look at grass-fed beef and organic beef. Grass-fed beef is produced on farms where the animals are well taken of hence equally aiding environmental conservation. Health-wise, grass-fed beef is a better alternative. Being that it is more ethically produced, grass-fed beef is gaining momentum in the market. What should you assess when buying grass-fed meat?
First things first, learn how to decipher the label on the meat packages. Start by making sure that the beef you are selecting in that grocery store has a label specifying it is grass fed. Grass-fed cattle get to consume less human-made foodstuffs hence a more natural feel to their diet. However, not all labels will be authentic. The best kind of labels will be those from national grass fed associations. Presence of these labels indicates that the meat came from cattle that were humanely brought up.
At this stage, it may also make sense to engage a grass-fed beef farmer. You can skip the labels as they can only tell you so much about the animals bringing up and feeding and just talk to a farmer directly. Most grass-fed beef is produced on small-scale ranches and is directly sold to consumers. In the event that there are no farmers nearby, you can use online directories from national grass-fed beef bodies to guide your search. When having a sit down with the farmers, make sure to inquire of their grazing techniques tenability.
The next thing is to select the right cut of grass-fed beef. You need to assess the physical state of the beef to assure quality. The edges of quality grass-fed beef should be brown in color, and the fat should have a yellow color. Keep in mind that color is not an indicator of freshness and hence the beef should smell like normal meat does and not give off rancid odors. It is best to go for meat that is 90% lean.

Is It A Good Idea To Go To Drug Rehab Centers?
If you look around, you will see that there are millions of drug addicts nowadays. Drugs is never a good thing, not only because it is illegal, but also because it can seriously harm the person addicted to it. If you are a drug addict and you want to quit the addiction, you will find that it is much easier said than done. With drug rehab centers, quitting drug addiction becomes much easier. Even better news is that these drug rehab centers can provide a lot of great benefits to drug addicts wanting to quit. If you are curious to know what these benefits are; then this article is for you. This article is going to take you through a couple of the benefits to drug rehab centers. So out of all the benefits, here are only the top 3 benefits.
For one thing, drug rehab centers will provide constant helpers. It can be hard to resist drugs when you are all by yourself, with only your mind to tell you that it is not good to continue; and this is usually very weak. This is why many people that try to quit drugs by themselves usually fail. But with drug rehab centers, you will have helpers to constantly remind you why you should not be taking those drugs. Also, the helpers will constantly talk to you about the bad effects of being addicted to drugs. This is benefit number one that you will receive from drug rehab centers.
The second great benefit to drug rehab center is their methods of removing you, slowly but surely, away from the drugs. Many people think that to stop using the drug almost immediately is the best way to quit drug addiction. But stopping immediately will give you severe withdrawals that could lead you to take up the drug again. But if you remove the drug slowly, then you will start to get used to having no drugs in your body throughout the day. So this is the second great benefit to drug rehab centers.
Yet another thing, drug rehab centers are great because you can meet new friends. Friends that influence you to do drugs are not really friends at all, and people that you should avoid at all times, especially when wanting to quit your drug addiction. But losing those friends won’t hurt so much when you can gain new friends found in drug rehab centers. You will meet other people like you, can you can help them as they help you quit the addiction of drugs. So this is yet another of the best benefits that drug rehab centers can provide for all drug addicts.
Cannabis, which is sometimes known as marijuana is harvested from the cannabis plant for medical and leisure purposes. The research carried out on the cannabis plant indicates that it has a lot of benefits to the body. One of the effects is that it can be used to reduce nausea and vomiting especially during chemotherapy. Another benefit of cannabis is that it can raise your appetite and treat chronic pain. Cannabis can also be used for leisure to help you relax. If you have had a long day and you feel fatigued, smoking cannabis will calm you down. When you are looking for a cannabis dealer, you need to be careful so that you buy a high-quality substance. Follow the steps mentioned below to get a good cannabis dealer.
Begin by making up your mind whether you are buying the cannabis for medical or recreational reasons. This is important because you will be able to know the quantity of cannabis that you require. If you are buying cannabis for medical use, the quantity will be less because you will have to follow the doctor’s prescription on how to use it. The next step is to know whether the cannabis has been legalized in your state. If you get this information on the legality of cannabis in your state, you will not get into any trouble with the police.
The best way to get this information is on the internet. Start looking for a cannabis dealer after you have ensured that cannabis is allowed in your state. You will easily get a cannabis dealer by asking your friends to recommend you a good dealer. Most of the dealers do not use various online platforms to market their goods, and it is not the best source to look for the dealers. Get more information about the cannabis to ensure that you get a good product. Knowing how to identify the quality product is important before you start looking for the dealers.
After identifying several cannabis dealers, visit them so that you can check out their product. Look at all the products sold by the dealers so that you know, which dealer is selling good products. Ask the dealers to give you a testing sample. With the testing sample, you will be able to know the quality of product you are going to buy.
Observe the dealers so that you can know which dealer seems legit. Look at the personality of each dealer so that you can know if you are dealing with an honest person. Ask each dealer to tell you their prices. The final step is to choose the best cannabis dealer who has the best product.
Insurance brokers usually provide a lower platform for interaction between clients and the insurance providers, they are quite useful especially that they help the clients to choose the cover they need. They play a major role in locating, selecting and purchasing insurance covers for people who approach them for having limited knowledge in the insurance industry, they will therefore act as the best pathway into quality insurance that they would otherwise not access. They are equally important to the insurance companies for they seek market for such companies by advertising their products at a cost.
Insurance brokers are the best to hire for they do not commit to any insurance company and will therefore provide all needed information about all available insurance services without bias, this is the best platform for a client to work on to choose the best company and type of cover they need. Insurance brokers are always in contact with the a wide range of insurance companies, they will not therefore be short of information in their field of speciality and this makes them the most appropriate persons to be approached by clients as they will provide up to date information for them that will help them make informed decisions on which insurance services they should purchase.
Clients are the brokers primary customers, they are thus given priority over the insurance companies by being given a variety of companies to choose from with clear advice on what should be done in the clients situation, persons who do not seek the brokers services are not likely to find a variety to choose from as they may go directly to one insurance company. Information gained from insurance brokers is usually complete and their guidance to their customers is based on facts and they analyze the services in market and suggest the most efficient to their customers.
It is better to seek the insurance brokers services than going directly to the insurance company, the insurance companies will note help the person into getting the best services for them, rather the agents and staff of such a company will work hard to convince the individual that their services are best for him or her even if they are not. As the broker does not take sides in any of the companies, he or she will not fill guilty to let you know what a certain package of insurance does not cover, this is not the case if one decides to go straight to service providers who might not be very honest especially when it comes to weaknesses that are in their system. In conclusion it is wise for any seeker of insurance services goes through insurance brokers for they are honest and efficient.
A business will run fine with minimal risk of losses as long as it is secure from any external or internal security breaches. With this on mind it is therefore very essential to keep the business safe, the data, the property as well as the employees of the business are supposed to be kept as secure as possible. Business people need to make sure the business is at its peak security and that is done by putting up measures that maintain maximum security. For some of the measures to put into place in order to maintain the security of your business, see here.
It is necessary to have a few security guards protecting your business against people with intentions of stealing from you, these guards are usually trained and they have the skills they need to spot a thief. With full control and data stored of the people and cars entering the business grounds, the security guards make it easy to monitor the people in the premises. There is a great benefit of having the data of people coming in and out of the business premise, it is a strategy towards ensuring the people to be suspected in case of thefts are well listed at the entrance. Placing the security guards at strategic locations inside the business makes it easy for them to maintain security at their assigned areas. The services of security guards will give the business a great percentage of physical security needed.
To further improve security at your business premise, there should be security devices put at strategic positions. The cameras are usually installed and connected to computers in a security room where analysis of the videos and images send to them takes place. While people can make mistakes, cameras will always take videos as long as they are in a good working order, they will there supplement the services offered by security guards. Videos and images from the cameras are usually recorded and stored especially if they caught a robbery and hence can be used as evidence in court. Security alarms usually play a big role in security matters as they are used to notify the employees and other people within the premises of danger.
The other aspect of your business that needs to be protected is the data which requires a different strategy from the physical security. One way to ensure business data is safe is to ensure it can only be accessed by authorized persons, this is achieved by restricting offices to their users only. Passwords are another way of restricting information access by people who may not need to have it, the passwords are supposed to complex and be changed every now and then to lock out any people who may have cracked the passwords. | 2019-04-18T15:13:14 | http://www.addurlsites.info/category/software/ |
Alright, just as a basic question: Why do we believe that the earth is young compared to what atheists commonly believe? I mean scientifically. i don't need the classic: "because the bible says so" or "carbon dating is unreliable." What about the supposed "proof" that atheists find in the layers of the earth supporting the evidence that it shows billions of years of development? Any intelligent points?
Because I think you ask something impossible if you don't want to hear the 'classic answers' in any of this.
The common foundation for young earth creationism is, apparently unfortunately for you, grounded in Biblical thought. It necessitates a literal, 'day' creation as well as genealogical mathematics. Once genealogies are calculated and you add in the week of creation, we arrive at an age around 6,004 years, I believe.
(4) leaching of the parent element out of the rock sample did not occur.
Carbon dating rests on essentially the same foundations and isn't any more reliable.
So it really goes back to your world view. I'm going to believe the Bible in a dangerously literal sense, as Tom Harpur would say.
Biogenesis and evolutionary Creationism I find incompatible with Biblical teaching. I don't have as 'much' of a problem with things like Nebula theory. The issue with that is that I remember reading that God spoke things into existence. I don't see the purpose in speaking things into existence which then needed to be further refined for apparently billions of years (14.5, or are they up to 15 now?).
'Evidence' can be dually interpretation, and I think that if we are to believe in a world wide Flood, then all of that evidence has been 'hampered' with. If you take into account the Flood, then rock striation and strata are accounted for, same with fossils, geologic columns and the like.
In response to to the 'proof' of scientists (which, all aren't atheists). I would call it just that 'proof'--in quotations. It's grounded in assumption, not testable, not verifiable.
One site I've come across often in 'refuting' the 'proof' of big bangisms is talk of origins (http://www.talkorigins.org/). Might allow you to see something you didn't know before.
First, though you used the word "WE" (seemingly to describe Christians), it should be noted that Christians have many different views of the age of the earth. Some Christians believe it is old and some that it is young.
Second, the statement 'carbon dating' is unreliable IS a scientific statement, so it is odd that you asked for scientific reasons but then dismissed that as a possible answer. Furthermore, carbon dating can only give a max age of about 50,000 years, so that's not really at issue when talking about thousands vs. millions of years.
a) Uniformitarianism- This view observes present processes (like erosion) and assumes that such processes are responsible for what we observe (things like the grand canyon). But these processes work very slowly and, if they ARE responsible for what we observe, millions of years are necessitated. Present observations is the key to the past.
b) Catastrophism- This view observes present topography (things like the grand canyon) and assumes that historical records about a worldwide flood are correct. If, indeed, there was a worldwide flood, the geological consequences of such an event would have been catastrophic and what we now see is explained by what happened then. The past is the key to understanding the present observations.
In other words, all scientists agree that the world's topography looks messed up. It either looks messed up b/c it went through a terrible event (a worldwide flood), or it looks messed up b/c it's just very old.
Lots of articles here (http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3040/) that should be helpful. When it comes to dating or historical science there is no such thing as "proof" of age. Scientists gather evidence to try and support their presupposition that the earth is old or young. So old-age earthers start with the assumption that the earth or rocks are billions of years old because they are committed to the belief of evolution which requires immense amounts of time to work. Yet young-earth creationists use the very same evidence (rocks, fossils etc.) to support their belief that the earth is only about 6,000 years old according to the Biblical chronology.
Well, assume for a moment that God is an Indycar fan.
Seriously, what I mean is that one possible theory can be explained by the difference between Formula 1 and IndyCar. In F1, the race begins with a standing start. The lights go green, and off they go.
In IndyCar, they have a "flying" start. They run through a few pace laps, and then the field takes the green flag at full throttle.
What if God created everything that way? What if God put dinosaur bones in the earth? What if God, instead of forming the sun out of a hydrogen molecular cloud 4.59 billion years ago, spoke it into being fully lit? What if the light from the Pleiades, which are 440ly away, was created en route?
This is certainly within God's power, right?
There may be Biblical authority that contradicts this hypothesis (and I haven't found any *yet*), but there is no scientific evidence that could refute it, because it's beyond the realm of science. How could you prove or disprove it?
My point is not to propose some radical theory on earth's creation. My point is to show that faith and science are two different discussions. Right now, the prevailing theory is an old-earth one. That may contradict the Bible (and then again, by some interpretations, it may not), but it is the prevailing theory. Yes, there is proof against it, but there is also proof in favor of it. Like all scientific theories, though, it is simply waiting to be disproven, to the point that the general scientific community no longer accepts it.
The real problem is that the general scientific community is polarized. There are some that are staunch defenders of the Bible, but there are many more who mistakenly put their faith in science. Our mistake is in cornering them. Rather than approach the issue on their grounds, we often start with the assumption that the Bible must be interpreted a certain way and work from there. That *may be correct* but it's bad salesmanship when dealing with people whose faith rests in science.
For my part, I DON'T CARE how old the earth is. It has very little impact on my relationships with my wife, my children, my extended family, my friends, and those non-Christians that I'm trying to reach. I'm much more interested in the Great Commission than how precisely to interpret the first few chapters of Genesis. When I get to heaven, I'll ask God about it. Until then, I'm content in not knowing.
Oh, and my other point is that IndyCar is the best form of racing in existence.
Actually a couple of Christ's miracles support it - He made wine out of water - as well as lots of baked bread - two items that "naturally" would take some time to reach their final state - yet he created them in an instant, already fully "developed"!
Uniformitarianism or catastrophism are not the main philosphies of geology any more, although uniformitarianism forms the basis of modern geological inquiry. All geologists (at least the ones I know) accept that there are cases of catastrophism (meteorite impacts, volcanics eruptions, landslides), but these tend to be few and far between.
Sorry, you got is backwards. The conclusions of an old earth is based on the empirical evidence and observations, not on presuppositions.
Nothing I said goes against this. I was simply stating the 2 major explanations for what we see. Of course it is true that both groups of scientists recognize the reality of both. It's simply a matter of what the ratio is.
My point that I didn't make too well is that it is not an either/or philosphy - either you are uniformitarian or you are a catastrophist. Your original post seemed to suggest that.
Catastrophism has much of its roots in religious thought as it was the prevalent explanation of the physical world up until Hutton formerly proposed the uniformitarian model in the late 1700's.
No, I wasn't saying everyone had to be either one or the other absolutely. Hutton, for instance, believed what we see is 95% the result of uniformitarianism. I am quite sure, of course, that he'd change that estimation to a lower percentage if he were alive today.
OK, all clear here. Interesting take on Hutton, should he be around today.
Well you couldn't be more wrong actually. Empirical science by definition involves observation and/or experimentation to prove a theory. Dating rocks involves historical (not empirical) science since the only way to prove the age of something that is millions of years old is to observe its formation. Radiometric dating produces dates based on many assumptions about the rocks origin and past history and is therefore not empirical in any sense of the word. Furthermore, certain dates are accepted and others rejected based on how old the researcher BELIEVES the rocks or fossils should be. So bias or presupposition is very well intrenched when it comes to the study of origins, yet most old-earthers don't even realize how much their worldview or belief-system effects the conclusions they make.
On samples of known age (eg. recent lava flows) radiometic dating has been shown to be very unreliable, so the whole methodology behind it is obviously flawed but it is still widely used because it can provide dates that scientists need to back up their unsubstantiated theory that the earth is billions of years old.
I stated my question in a very narrow minded and immature manner. Sorry guys. Thanks for the thoughts!
What about the supposed "proof" that atheists find in the layers of the earth supporting the evidence that it shows billions of years of development? Any intelligent points?
So not only does the geologic time scale need "reappraisal" but all the other 'proofs' (as scientists and media would have us believe) about our past that are dependent upon the universally accepted geologic time frame are now under serious doubt and will likely be rejected at some time in the future. At least the scientists here are honest enough to admit that these "past" events are only 'inferred' by the geologic data rather than proven beyond all doubt, which is what the public are usually led to believe.
I have spent countless hours studying old vs young earth, evolution and everything in between. One thing that I can be sure of is I do not blindly trust scientists. They are in such a massive political game and competing for grant money it's ridiculous. I found many instances of biologists that did not support macro evolution HOWEVER they openly admit to just going with the flow so they would keep their job and grant money. What is really scary is they teach this stuff as being true.
Just because muds are found to able to settle in more energetic environments does not mean all mudstones and clays were now created in energetic environments but without seeing the actual Science journal, it's hard to come to any actual opinion. I didn't see any link, but I'm sure you have to subscribe to actually see the article.
But the point is that it throws evidence in the face of assumption.
The truth about the scientific method is that as great as it is, it is widely ignored. Time, chance and matter plus near statistical impossibility seem to be the currency of today.
The scary part of it all?
Most of the presumptions of biogenesis and cosmology aren't actual science either.
Yet there I was, learning the theories in high school.
The "assumption" was never such a thing. If you take very fine clay, mix it in a big pool of water, it will take a significant amount of time to settle out, and that is a low energy environment. This type of experiment is what was used to establish the original hypothesis that mudstones and claystones are deposited in quiet environments. The new evidence only suggests that muds and clays can be deposited in active environments.
Thinking about it, I don't know why this new finding is a big deal. Every stream has back-eddies and quiet pools. We regularly collect silt samples from high energy creeks. Again, I would have to see the actual article.
As far as biogenesis and cosmology, I have no technical knowledge there and these has little relevance toward this topic. | 2019-04-24T00:40:10 | https://bibleforums.org/archive/index.php/t-111528.html?s=e30fda93cfa880ff20474f7fac6ef52e |
Abstract: In a sustainable society based on an eco-cycling philosophy it is important to establish efficient waste recycling, as well as systems for re-use. Such systems include both material recovery and the extraction of bio-energy and nutrients using natural ecological techniques. In order to save energy and reduce transportation, which accounts for more than 60 % of the waste handling costs, it is essential to develop small-scale and local systems for the recovery of nutrients from waste products. The organic waste is an important resource of nutrients and should therefore be recycled and put back into the eco-cycling system. Every year in Sweden approximately 2,5 million tons of organic waste is not recycled, but instead incinerated or landfilled (Naturvardsverket, 1996). From an eco-cycling point of view the organic waste should not be landfilled as most of the environmental problems during the lifetime of a landfill is shown to be connected to the organic waste. Landfill gaz, leachate, odours and hygienic problems are all a result from landfilled organic waste, which instead ought to be composed or digested (Naturvardsverket, 1996). Investigations have shown that over 75 % of mixed solid household waste is biologically degradable and that nearly 50 % can be composted and re-used as a nutritious top-soil additive. Therefore, a recent Directive from the European Community prescribes that at least 75 % of the household waste in Europe shall be recycled and re-used by year 2005. | 2019-04-22T11:12:27 | https://www.scilit.net/article/36d642647493adbe485ddfb601c18608 |
Can you turn it on and turn it off when you need to?
Football players in the NFL have the ability to relax in between plays and at the exact moment the QB says “hike” they can turn into a hungry fighting animal. Once the play finishes 5 seconds later they help the beaten back up and say, ” good job”.
Police officers and firefighters have the same or similar ability. They can be relaxing and a second later be out the door saving a life.
Think about how you could utilize this skill in your own life and career. Be better than average. Be the person that does more than expected. | 2019-04-23T04:57:28 | https://brianbenedict.blog/2017/09/20/zero-to-60/ |

Russia has awarded Prime Minister Narendra Modi Order of St Andrew the Apostle, the highest order of the Russian Federation. PM Modi was awarded the order for “exceptional services in promoting special & privileged strategic partnership between” Russia and India, the Russian embassy in India said in a tweet.
According to the Russian government, the Order of St Andrew the Apostle was established in the 17th century by Peter the Great around 1699 and is the oldest of Russia’s state decorations.
The Order of St Andrew the Apostle is both the highest and the old state decoration of Russia. The order was abolished in the erstwhile Soviet Union in 1918 and was re-established in 1998.

In August 2014, members of Squadron 188 participated in a number of Western Air Defense Sector (WADS) missions. The goal of the missions is to provide USAF fighter pilots with valuable training in the interception of light aircraft. CAP aircraft are ideal platforms for interception training as they are in the light aircraft category.
Without CAP to assist in a realistic interception scenario the USAF fighter pilots often have to practice with themselves, which is not as realistic as utilizing light aircraft as the interception target.
Maj Jeff Ironfield and Lt Jordan Hayes acted as the target aircraft in an interception, Lt Hayes acted as a Highbird communications relay for another mission that Maj Noel Luneau was Incident Commander trainee for, and Major Luneau and Lt Karin Hollerbach flew as a Highbird communication relay for a third mission.
Adhere to instructions relayed through the use of visual devices, visual signals, and radio communications from the intercepting aircraft.
Attempt to establish radio communications with the intercepting aircraft or with the appropriate air traffic control facility by making a general call on guard frequencies (121.5 or 243.0 MHz), giving the identity, position, and nature of the flight.
If transponder-equipped, select Mode3/Code 7700 unless otherwise instructed by air traffic control.
NOTE - If instruction received from any agency conflicts with that given by the intercepting aircraft through visual or radio communications, the intercepted aircraft must seek immediate clarification. | 2019-04-19T11:24:46 | https://blog.squadron188.org/2014/08/western-air-defense-sector-missions-and.html |

But I suppose I will put up with her since I doubt she will be eaten by lions, at least not any time soon. I like the Parisian woman, she has a much more sense of vulnerability to her and I would like to see more of her character.
It is riveting, thought-provoking and I like the characters. And of course the animals are not acting "normally"!

This system allowes you to do more attempts on your favourite machines and hopefully score better on these which will make you advance to the play offs. Other playes might go for all games and score enought points that way. The really good players will do good scores on most machines as well as occupying spots in the scoring to block opponents.
The best 32 players will advance to play offs. Player 1-8 will pass two rounds, 9-16 will pass one round. 17-32 will play the first round.
The best 75 scores will be awarded points in the qualification.
Best out of three games on one machines that the player with the higher qualification rank will choose out of 12 available machines. The player with lower qualification rank will start on the first game and then you will alternate.
Best out of three machines (five if there is time) where the player with the higher qualification rank will choose machine two and three (if needed). The player with lower qualification rank will start on the first game and then you will alternate.
Qualification as above, but on 5 machines and 10 attempts som ovan, but not more than 4 attempts on a singel machine. The best 75 scores will be awarded points in the qualification.
Qualification as above, but on 3 machines and 6 attempts som ovan, but not more than 3 attempts on a singel machine. The best 25 scores will be awarded points in the qualification.
Best out of three games on one machines that the team with the higher qualification rank will choose out of 12 available machines. The team with lower qualification rank will start on the first game and then you will alternate.
Best out of three machines (the qualification machines) where the team with the higher qualification rank will choose order. The team with the lowest qualification rank will start on the first machine. On the next machine the team with the lowest score will start. The 4-2-1-0 scoring system is used.
The four best players from each country will form a team. All teams will play against each other in a group play off. Each round will be played on two machines – each team will choose a machine and two players for this machine. The other two players will play the opponents choice. You (both players) will start on the machine the other team has chosen and the other way around. Each games is played with 3 balls/4-player gamer. The 4-2-1-0 scoring system is used.
After the play offs all points are added together and the two best teams will go to the final. Any ties will be sorted by who won the game where the teams met in the play offs. If this was a tied game they will have to play one more game on a random machine.
The final will be played as a qualification round. If this is a tie the team with most points from the play offs will choose a machine and players for a final game.
All scores on the machines will be shown (public) as soon as they are reported. Players can save attempts until late saturday to be able to check out the standings, but remember that attempts not started at 22.00 will be forfeited!

Calling Adobe: Viva la Sticky Settings!
You know that nuanced little way that you like to set a certain thing in your favorite CS/CC app? Let’s say it’s the center dot of new vector shapes in Illustrator, and let’s say that you are me because I’m using this as example because it gets on my friggin’ nerves. I don’t like the center dot. Sure, I’ll turn it on occasionally for the rare occasions when I need to align something to it, but that’s the case maybe once a week. Otherwise they just cause me to inadvertently select or snap to things that I’m not interested in. One would think, then, that Illustrator would default to my preferred, un-center-dotted state, since that’s what I virtually always switch to. No. One would be wrong. One would be lending too much faith that a zeal for whiz-bang new features on the part of the Adobe engineers would equate to a zeal for the finest grained UI refinement. Oh, one. You are so damn naive.
Want another example that probably doesn’t specifically apply to you? Well, here it is anyway: when exporting web slices in Photoshop (yes, I know that this method is going the way of the smoking dinosaur), I almost never choose “User Slices” as the final saving option, and I never, ever, ever choose “All Slices.” It’s “Selected Slices” almost all the time because — you guessed it — I don’t want to export every slice in the document every time I tweak one stupid image. But guess what happens when you use Save for Web with a non-sliced image and then return to your sliced PSD and Save for Web again? “All Slices.” Yeah, I get it, that was the only option in the previous un-sliced doc. That doesn’t change the facts that A) that bears no relevance to the option that I last chose, and B) you could just as easily attach the sticky option to the document itself, not to my most recent behavior (i.e., “Doc A.psd” is always set to “All,” while “Doc B.psd” is always set to “Selected”).
What kind of OCD-retentive dork are you??
Hey, don’t get me wrong, I get that I seem to be making mountains out of moleskine hills here. What’s the big deal about having to make one extra click to turn off center dots? Well, it’s this: those of us who literally live in these apps every damned day, and are trying to be as productive as we can with them, end up having to repeatedly pickup the slack because the CS/CC guys didn’t go that extra mile to have the app remember everything as we last set it. One extra click? Sure, that takes maybe half a second. But four dozen extra clicks per hour, 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year equals almost 15 hours of wasted time (not to mention wasted stress, since you’re burning mental energy with these adjustments) per year. For those of us working hourly, that might equate to anywhere from $400 to $2000 of billable time. I wouldn’t mind having an extra bundle of C-notes and a more relaxed demeanor, would you? | 2019-04-19T17:08:29 | http://fdmovement.com/2013/10/calling-adobe-viva-la-sticky-settings/ |
Madadayo was Kurosawa’s last film – though he left behind several scripts and outlines, some of which have been filmed. The title translates as ‘not yet!’ – a shout of defiance by a retired professor at the contemplation of his own death but also a child’s exclamation during the Japanese game of ‘hide ‘n seek’ (“Are you ready”, “Not yet” and finally “You can come now!”).
The film was not released theatrically in either the UK or the US. It’s not difficult to work out why. Though I enjoyed the film on DVD (a so-so quality Region 2 disc from Yume), I needed a lot of guidance in order to understand every aspect. My main source was Keiko McDonald whose essay on the film is included in her collection entitled Reading a Japanese Film (University of Hawaii Press, 2006). McDonald’s essay is particularly useful since she both explains all the cultural references and gives her take on the usual Kurosawa debates.
The film does not have a strong narrative. Its story focuses on a professor from the time when he first announces his retirement up until the night of his 77th birthday and the 17th annual party organised in his honour by his ex-students. The start year is 1943 and the background to the events (barely glimpsed) includes the surrender, Occupation and economic re-birth and social revolution in Japan in the 1950s and early 1960s. Those events amount to very little of what might be expected in a narrative fiction feature. When the professor and his wife are bombed out in 1945, the students eventually build him a new home and there is a problem with a possible buyer of the adjacent property. Then the professor loses the stray cat which he has taken in and become strongly attached to. The students visit often and we see the initial retirement celebration and the 17th in some detail. How does Kurosawa make this into an interesting film?
Apparently, the professor is a historical character called Hyakken Uchida (1889-1971), who initially taught at a military college but then became a full-time writer and was revered as a ‘stylish essayist’. McDonald suggests that Kurosawa expected at least some of his Japanese audience to be aware of Hyakken’s writings. He then uses the professor’s musings and the strong relationship he has with his ex-students (the professor’s wife is the strong but mostly silent supporting figure in the background) as a vehicle to explore fundamental moral values and questions about mortality and change – both ‘natural’ and ‘social’. He does this largely through the medium of songs, poems and essays that might be familiar to large numbers of the audience who in McDonald’s words “have survived the Japanese high school system”. She entitles her essay ‘Cultural Responses to Simplicity’ and this is indeed the strength of the film. The best example of this simplicity for me is the example of the ‘moon’ sequences. On one occasion, in his temporary home after the bombing, the professor encourages his students to sing a childhood song about the moon as they all gaze at it across the rubble. On another occasion, the students improvise a musical routine around the moon song during the professor’s birthday celebrations.
There is little to say about the aesthetic of the film, though there are examples of familiar Kurosawa ‘extreme weather’ sequences and the ending utilises an expressionist use of colour. At one point I wondered if I was watching the film in the wrong aspect ratio since the composition looked rather ragged for Kurosawa. There is relatively little movement in the film. The professor remains seated or stationary for much of the time – only the students rush about. However, Kurosawa manages to inject life into the scenes and the central performances are very good. It may be an old person’s film – I certainly found it moving, warm-hearted, life-affirming etc.
In respect of the standard Kurosawa debates, it is clearly ‘Japanese’ and not ‘Western’, but it does conform to the theme of master and apprentice – except in this case there are many ‘apprentices’. I did reflect on what kinds of metaphorical meaning I could take from the film, but I think I agree with McDonald that the meanings in the narrative are not meant to refer to Kurosawa himself – he is not the professor. Rather the film explores the concept of a changing world and the need to retain/reflect on the virtues of a traditional Japanese education/socialisation. The professor both reminds his students of what they learned in childhood and allows himself to become part of the changing world. The film that Madadayo in some ways resembles (though not in tone) is Ikuru in which another ageing man confronts his own death rather more urgently and with more socially directed goals. The whole approach to death seems to me to be different in Japanese culture.
This is a subtle work from a master director. It is calm but warm and amusing as well as fulfilling. It will have helped many say “Not yet!”. | 2019-04-20T12:45:43 | https://globalfilmstudies.com/2010/08/12/kurosawa-2-madadayo-japan-1993/ |

Morgan Hertel, vice president of Technology and Innovation for Rapid Response Monitoring Services, Inc. was awarded The Monitoring Association (TMA)’s highest honor, the Stanley C. Lott Memorial Award for Exemplary Service, at the 2017 Annual Meeting in Scottsdale, AZ on October 11.
This award was created to honor the memory of Stanley C. Lott, a TMA (CSAA) past president renowned for his above-and-beyond efforts to lead and financially support the Association through difficult times.

Hertel has been with Rapid Response since 2012. His work has led to many technological enhancements to the company’s infrastructure and the development of its west coast monitoring center in Corona, CA. He is well known throughout the industry, is a contributor to many industry publications and has served in various capacities in its education programs and in the development of standards. He is the chair of TMA’s Contract Monitoring Council and, in June 2017, was elected to the position of Vice President on the TMA Board of Directors.

(October 19, 2017) – The Monitoring Association and Security Sales & Integration are pleased to announce “The Marvel” — the inaugural TMA/SSI Monitoring Technology “Marvel” Award. This new award will honor innovations in monitoring center technology. It will be co-sponsored by TMA and Security Sales & Integration (SSI) and coordinated by the TMA Technology Committee.
The purpose of the Marvel is to provide recognition for monitoring centers creating and/or using cutting-edge technology and to raise awareness of these new technologies. “We are pleased to team up with SSI to spotlight these innovators in our industry,” said TMA Technology Committee Co-Chair Steve Butkovich, who announced the award at the recent 2017 TMA Annual Meeting in Scottsdale, AZ.
The winning monitoring center will be featured on the cover of the August 2018 Monitoring Issue of SSI; runners-up will receive mention inside the magazine as part of a feature article on the awards. The winner and runners-up will be recognized in front of their peers at ESX 2018 at one of the general sessions and featured on the TMA website and in TMA Dispatch. “Technology is consistently mentioned as one of the most important challenges our industry faces. The Marvel winner will receive recognition as a leader within the industry as well as to customers,” said Butkovich.
Criteria for the award will be posted in December 2017. Submissions will be accepted January 15 through March 15, 2018. The winner will be announced at ESX 2018 in June in Nashville.

Loudoun County became the twenty-ninth PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) in the United States and the second in the Washington, DC area to go live with the Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP), a technology that allows alarm companies to transmit alarms to both the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and Loudoun County Fire and Rescue communications centers without making a phone call.
This week data from residential and business alarms can now be transmitted electronically, allowing dispatchers to process an alarm in a fraction of the time it would normally take to process an alarm via telephone from an alarm monitoring company. “This new system will eliminate call volume from alarm companies and transmit alarm information to our emergency communications center in three seconds, ultimately reducing the response times of first responders,” said Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman.
ASAP will not only improve the accuracy and the speed of emergency response times, but eliminate potential human error and miscommunication between 911 dispatchers and alarm monitoring company operators. “In any emergency, response time and accuracy is critical,” said Chief Keith Brower with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue. “By directly transmitting the information all pertinent information goes directly to Loudoun’s first responders within seconds,” added Chief Brower.
Loudoun County went live with the ASAP program at 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, October 10, with Vector Security. By the end of the day, Affiliated Monitoring, Rapid Response, and Protection One were live, with Guardian, Vivint, Monitronics and ADT expected to quickly follow.
ASAP was created in partnership with The Monitoring Association (and the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO). Fore more information, visit ASAP.
TMA members participate on Standards Development Organization (SDO) committees in the development of standards that impact our industry. Despite our best efforts, SDOs occasionally adopt standards language that is harmful to TMA members. Such standards actions can also restrict the service provider preferences of fire and security practitioners, or, may not be in the public’s best interests. When onerous language is enacted, it is crucial that TMA has a strategy to work within established SDO processes to respond appropriately.
TMA members, your immediate attention to a current situation is requested. Three years ago the 2016 edition of NFPA 72, The National Fire Code, was modified to include language that negatively impacted NRTL-listed Central Stations. The language in the code was amended to support municipalities that prescribe through an alarm ordinance what monitoring entity is allowed to monitor fire alarm signals in their municipality. More often than not, that is a single monitoring facility owned or contracted by the municipality. Our effort to overturn this change to the 2016 National Fire Code was unsuccessful.
NFPA 72 is updated every three years. A proposal was submitted by a TMA member to amend the 2019 edition of NFPA 72 to allow NRTL-listed Central Stations to monitor fire alarms without unfair obstruction. The technical committees responsible for the 2019 edition of NFPA 72 have essentially completed their review of changes to the code, and our member’s proposal was rejected. TMA plans to contest this at the June 2018 NFPA event.
It is important to note that standards typically define a minimum requirement. Allowing a higher level of performance that exceeds the minimum requirement is the normal practice. It is unusual for language in a standard to require that a higher level of service require specific approval. This is particularly onerous given that NRTL-listed Central Stations are the gold standard of fire alarm monitoring.
If you are a NRTL-listed Central Station, this issue directly impacts the life safety services you provide your customers. TMA’s effort at the 2015 meeting was defeated as the issue was unfairly portrayed as usurping an AHJ’s authority. We must have sufficient TMA representation at the June 2018 NFPA meeting to contest this action. Our effort to amend the 2016 version of NFPA 72 failed because TMA did not have sufficient representation attend the 2015 meeting and vote.
If monitoring fire alarms is part of your business, you should consider your presence mandatory at the June 2018 annual meeting. Without your attendance, fire alarm monitoring by NRTL-listed Central Stations can be significantly curtailed!
TMA member companies need to send associates to the NFPA meeting in June of 2018. In order to vote at the June Technical Meeting, the attendee must have been a member of NFPA for six months. NFPA membership is an individual membership, not a company membership. The annual cost to belong to NFPA is $175 per individual.
While we know that our member companies all have employees that belong to NFPA, we do not have a database that reflects the names of the actual NFPA members. It is impossible at this time to determine how many members will attend. We will be working to compile that data.
To vote at the 2018 meeting, an attendee must have been a member of NFPA by December 1, 2017.
Please assure that your current employees who are NFPA members renew their membership for 2018 by December 1, 2017.
Please have additional employees join NFPA by the December 1, 2017 date. Joining does not mean the employees will be obligated to attend the June meeting. However, the six month membership requirement requires joining NFPA by December 1. Being proactive is only $175 per employee.
The 2018 NFPA meeting is in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay. Las Vegas is an inexpensive travel location if you plan ahead. Many attendees stay at Luxor and Excalibur where rates are typically under $75 a night. There is a tram between those hotels and Mandalay Bay. Most attendees there to attend the voting session will only need to stay one night.
TMA needs to track participation. Please provide Celia Besore, TMA’s vice president of membership, with information on your current NFPA members, as well as information on those who have joined as a result of this Call to Action. TMA will release updates frequently between now and December 1. You can reach Celia at 703-242-4670 x18 or cbesore@tma.us.
Thank you for your support and action. | 2019-04-22T03:59:53 | https://themonitoringassociation.wordpress.com/2017/10/ |
Around nine hundred people were evacuated from the hotel on Saturday night after a call about an explosive device planted in the building, a police source told RIA Novosti news agency.
The source said that two lower floors and the concert hall have already been checked. Examination of the whole building will take up to three hours.
Another security source of the city news agency “Moskva” confirmed information.
The latest info suggests the call was false.
A show by a Russian comedy group “Uralskiye pelmeni” held in the hotel concert hall was reportedly interrupted. | 2019-04-23T20:30:06 | https://btnews.online/hundreds-evacuated-from-moscow-hotel-over-false-bomb-threat/ |

Getting ready for a mission trip is tough! Best to start preparing as soon as you can and give as much time as you can to the effort. This idea 6 months to prepare and uproot and go into missions is for the birds (respectively speaking.) We didn’t even make a move! This was a trip lasting for a month, and we found the preparation (after 6 months) was inadequate.
I remember dad showing me how he prepared for his major moves, trips etc… and I pass it along to you here.
1. Get a spiral notebook. The cheap kind is fine but get one where pages are not easily torn out or lost.
2. Starting at the front, have a page or two for “Table of Contents,” numbering all pages after that.
4. In the TOC (after the calendars) list all things that come to mind which you need to do in preparation, important information, copies of passports, SS, credit cards.
Expenses from the trip; Things to avoid; Embassy information; Health warnings from CDC; Things to do before trip (two pages;) Use of cell phones internationally; Things packed; Pictures of luggage; Cost of living in the mission field (usually a good list is found on the internet;) Things to do when in mission field; Emergency medial information and phone numbers; Contacts in mission field; Vaccinations and info from doctor on what to eat and drink or not; Emergency Medical insurance policy; and a large section is saved for a daily diary. Jotting down what happened and things learned, which helps later when a report is due back home and memory fails a bit.
5. I also included lessons which I had to prepare while there since my lessons (pre-prepared) were inadequate considering the audience we were speaking to.
So all of this is in my book, and as we prepare for the next trip, we will use this as a starting place and simply build on this preparation.
6. There are two pockets taped into the notebook. One pocket hold passports and tickets. Another holds Proof of prescriptions and records of vaccinations.
So that’s the notebook. Simple? Yes and no. But invaluable. Whether it is a mission trip or a move to another city to preach, I make a notebook, so I can keep everything to do regarding the trip or event in ONE PLACE!
I hope this little bit of information helps you as it helped Dad and has helped me.
Grow in grace my friend! Grow in grace! | 2019-04-25T18:15:07 | http://jackexum.com/jack-exum-jr/mission-indonesia/the-mission-begins/the-mission-continues-preparation/ |
Alongside making it likely I’ll be late to the session and have forgotten my keys, my ADHD means I’ll probably also forget any plan when playing even the lightest of euro-games. Should I be allowed to use a notebook?

Supposedly designed by Vikings, Kubb is my chosen lawn game for this summertime and I’ve been playing a fair bit recently.

Employees spend a lot of time together so work satisfaction is crucial.
3 What Are the Causes of Job Satisfaction in the Workplace?
Workplace satisfaction helps companies extract the best performance from their employees. Happy associates represent the company in a positive light, while dissatisfied members bring down the production curve. A 2001 study sponsored by Wolters Kluwer states, "Trust has a significant impact on important organizational factors." The top five factors that contribute to satisfaction in the workplace depend on organizational trust. It's important that employees and managers know what's needed for peak production at a small business.
Inability to move up the career path leads to employee frustration and overall dissatisfaction. Companies that clearly present career path requirements will experience happy, motivated team members. Employees need to know what the requirements are for each position in the department. You, as the employer, need to understand that in-house promotions lead to better workplace loyalty and overall employee output. When advancement requirements are vague, employees feel stagnant or unimportant to the company.
The chain of command is a reliable force when it works properly. However, if employees feel their voice is lost in company red tape, they lose trust with their organization. Employees need consistent, regular access to company management to voice their concerns, present solutions and offer streamlining suggestions. Employees must have access to management through email, one-on-one or group meetings.
Individuals spend a lot of time at work. It is safe to say that work may seem like their home away from home. Since they spend so much time with coworkers and management, they need a pleasant work environment. Argumentative and uncivil coworkers, broken equipment and unsafe work areas leave employees unhappy. Courteous team members, the right equipment and clean, roomy work spaces make employees happy.
When employees are paid well and compensated competitively for their work, they feel valued. Employees want to trust that their organization will pay them what they are worth. Rewarding hard work with bonuses plus perks will develop a layer of employee loyalty other companies can't imitate. For the employee, worthy wages goes a long way towards overall satisfaction at work.
One way employers can boost the satisfaction at work is to offer job security. Employers that publish their quarterly forecasts in-house along with seminars to explain results are smart. They know that employees want to know all they can about the changing markets, especially in reference to their jobs. Knowing employees are safe from the dreaded pink slip will keep them happy and producing sales for the organization.

Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has described as a fallacy the insinuation that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar funded the 2015 election of President Muhammadu Buhari and challenged the former VP to prove that he did.
He gave the challenge on “Democracy Today”, a programme on the Hausa Service of Voice of America, on Wednesday.
El-Rufai said he was at the centre of Buhari’s presidential campaign alongside then Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and would have known if the former VP dropped money for the campaign.
The governor reiterated that APC leaders knew that Atiku would leave the party, adding that the former VP left because the APC governors had already endorsed Buhari for second term.
He said, “We in the APC were aware from the outset that Atiku was going to leave the APC back to the PDP in December and we thank God that he left in November.
“Atiku had seen that we in the APC, especially the APC governors, had resolved to support President Muhammadu Buhari to run again in 2019. That is why he left APC since he was only looking for where to contest for president.
“Even in the 2015 APC primary election, Atiku didn’t come second; he was floored by Kwankwaso. So, even if President Buhari decides not to contest, Atiku knows that the APC ticket is not sure for him. Majority of the APC governors have endorsed President Buhari as our candidate for 2019.
“And God has continued to improve the health condition of the President. Each time I see him, I thank God and I still pray that God continues to give him sound health.
“So, by 2019, we are waiting to see Atiku contest; we are waiting to contest against him and see what happens. I cannot lose sleep because Atiku wants to contest because, by God’s grace, this is the reign of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Agreed, in politics if you lose even only one person, it should worry you, but the utterances of the former Vice President that APC used his money who did he give the money to? For me, I know those that supported us with their money and property that we used during election, and I never heard the name of Atiku that he brought a dime. If Atiku said he brought money, who did he give it to? Let him come and say it and how much did he give and what was it used for? | 2019-04-23T09:04:21 | https://puoreports.ng/2017/12/21/atiku-is-lying-about-funding-buharis-2015-election-el-rufai/ |
It’s no secret that I love a good one-pot dinner, and that includes this amazing creamy pasta dish. Why do I think you’ll love it? First, it makes enough spaghetti to feed a family of six. Second, it’s ridiculously fast—as in, it goes from pasta box to pasta plate in just half an hour. And finally, it’s almost more of a template than a recipe, because you can customize it a million ways to suit your taste.
I’m half Italian, so there’s no such thing as too much garlic for me! Instead of a 28-oz. can of Muir Glen crushed tomatoes and basil, I’ll sometimes use two 14.5-oz. cans of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion.
To keep the pasta creamy but a little less rich, I’ll sometimes use half and half instead of the whipping cream called for in this recipe.
You can substitute any type of pasta for this recipe, but short noodles or shapes work best. If you’ve got shells, rotini or macaroni, use ‘em!
This dinner is so easy (and delicious) you’ll want to have spaghetti for dinner every night. I think your family will love it! | 2019-04-23T04:14:16 | https://www.pillsbury.com/everyday-eats/dinner-tonight/italian-pasta/no-brainer-one-pot-spaghetti-because-monday |

How much can nuclear energy do about global warming ?
Home Document database How much can nuclear energy do about global warming ?
The framework MESSAGE from the IIASA fulfills the IPCC requirement RCP 2.6. To achieve this, it proposes the use of massive deployment of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS), dealing with tens of billion tons of CO2. However, present knowledge of this process rests on a few experiments at the annual million tons level. MESSAGE includes three scenarios: ‘Supply’ with a high energy consumption; ‘Efficiency’ which implies the end of nuclear energy and the intermediary ‘MIX’. We propose, as a variant of the MESSAGE framework, to initiate a sustained deployment of nuclear production in 2020, reaching a total nuclear power around 20,000 GWe by the year 2100. Our scenarios considerably reduce the interest or necessity for CCS. Renouncing nuclear power requires an energy consumption reduction of more than 40% compared to the ‘Supply’ scenario, without escaping the need to store more than 15 billion tons of CO2. | 2019-04-24T13:52:08 | https://www.sauvonsleclimat.org/en/document-database/how-much-can-nuclear-energy-do-about-global-warming |

HomeDoes your neighbour know about the Sustainable Development Goals?
to describe the SDGs online.
To have any hope of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, we need all citizens to change their behaviours, no matter where in the world they live. SDG priorities may differ from country to country, but we need citizens in all countries to call upon governments, companies – and neighbours – to act.
The good news is that the SDGs give us a powerful story to tell – just check out the inspirational word cloud we created using only language from the SDG web pages of OECD governments.
The even better news is that people are beginning to engage. One year into the “SDG era”, about 3 in 10 citizens say they’ve heard about the SDGs, according to both Globescan and Eurobarometer. Almost 10 million world citizens have shown they care about sustainable development by participating in the UN MyWorld survey. These numbers will rise further thanks to the work of initiatives like the UN SDG Action Campaign, Project Everyone and the World’s Best News.
It is only by listening more carefully – setting up stronger listening architectures – that SDG communicators will know what SDG messages work best for different audiences.
For example, many people will want to be reassured that their taxes are being spent wisely and achieving SDG results. Some will want to be moved by stories that evoke shared values – they may want practical suggestions on how to become global citizens.3 Others will want to take pride in their country’s performance or global leadership on the SDGs. Others still will need reminding that the SDGs are in everyone’s interest, including their own.

DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid found throughout the body. This essential nutrient supports optimal visual, nervous system and brain development in the fetus. It is important for pregnant women to supplement with a high qualty fish oil (or through an algae supplement if vegetarian) as developing infants cannot efficiently produce their own DHA. Babies must obtain this vital nutrient. The fetus gets DHA through the placenta during pregnancy and from breast milk after birth.
Docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6, DHA) is a highly unsaturated omega-3 fatty acid that forms part of the central nervous and visual system structures. DHA is synthesized from its precursor, alfa-linolenic acid, that is also a omega-3 fatty acid and can be obtained from vegetable oils. marine organisms, specially fish, are good nutritional sources of DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), another omega-3 fatty acid that has a role in vascular homeostasis.
DHA increases membrane fluidity, improving neurogenesis, synaptogenesis and the activity of retinal photoreceptors. The fetus, specially during the last trimester of pregnancy, has high DHA requirements. It is provided by the mother, since fetal DHA synthesis is negligible in this stage of development. Breast feeding provides DHA to the child, but most replacement artificial formulas do not provide this fatty acid. At the present moment, many products for infant nutrition contain DHA.
