We take a look at our first retail NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 660 Ti video card in the form of the Power Edition model from MSI.
Much to the horror of NVIDIA and a number of their partners, we had the opportunity to look at the new GTX 660 Ti GPU in both stock form and overclocked form well ahead of the official launch today. Today we look at our first retail sample based on the new GPU and that comes from MSI in the form of the GTX 660 Ti 2GB Power Edition.
Being a Power Edition video card our approach would be to overclock this bad boy, but because it's the first retail GTX 660 Ti that we've received, we want to see just how this model compares out of the box compared to the reference clocked version we looked at the other week. Once we've done that we'll revisit the card in another article that will be published soon and see just what the Power Edition name brings to the table when it comes to achieving an overclock and how it differs to the overclock we got out of the reference card.
As always, though, we've got a number of things to do before we get into the performance side of things at stock speeds and the first piece of information we'll be looking at is the package which will also give us a chance to cover some of the main features that are on offer. Once we've done that we'll move onto the card itself to see what is going on with the cooling side of things before we look at the specifications of the model to see just what kind of clocks this model comes with when compared to the reference NVIDIA clocks.
Then it will be time to get into the testbed, cover the cards that we'll be using in our graphs today and then get into the performance of the new model. As mentioned, though, let's first take the time to look at what's going on with the package here today on the MSI GTX 660 Ti 2GB Power Edition.
Looking at the front of the box we can see that we've got the typical Power Edition color scheme. Opening the flap up you can see MSI expand on some of the information. With highlights on the Triple Overvoltage features; probably one of the larger standouts for the Power Edition cards along with the Military Class components. We can also see a couple of the other highlights here include an Enhanced PWM design and of course MSI Afterburner support.
As we move to the bottom half of the box you can see we get a glimpse of the card itself and MSI move the focus to what exactly the Twin Frozr IV cooler is capable of with its dual 80mm fans, multiple heatpipes, High-Density heatsink and nickel-plated copper base to name just some of the features. Turning the box over goes into some mode specific details in regards to the GTX 660 Ti itself. We'll cover this information a little later on when we move into the specification side of things.
Finally the last thing we need to look at before we move onto the card is the actual bundle. We really don't have heaps going on with the normal line up of paperwork and driver CD present. Along with that we've got a single DVI to VGA connector and two dual Molex to 6-pin PCIe power connectors to round everything off. | 2019-04-20T13:28:58 | https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4887/msi_geforce_gtx_660_ti_2gb_power_edition_video_card_review/index.html |
Although Thailand’s capital city is a great place to absorb the culture of the country, there are several destinations just beyond Bangkok’s periphery which will widen your horizons and give you a true taste of Thai life. From beautiful beaches and crazy nightlife, to ancient architectural ruins, thickly canopied forests housing endangered species, and wine-tasting tours on a sprawling vineyard—there’s something here for everyone for Bangkok day trips. So, take your pick among the weekend getaways from Bangkok.
At the base of Northern Thailand lies the cosmopolitan asylum known as Chiang Mai. Blessed with a slow pace of life, Chiang Mai is a picture-perfect haven for tourists, travellers, adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers. And because Chiang Mai is a historic city, it is obvious for centuries’ old temples and monasteries to co-exist alongside swanky hotels and new-age shopping hubs. The presence of misty mountains and kaleidoscopic hill tribes add to the vibrancy of this city.
Noteworthy for: Chiang Mai's famous elephant camps operate with varying degrees of animal care. The Elephant Adventure Park (Mae Tang) is a good sustainable tourism option.
Thailand’s third largest but most popular national Park, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Khao Yai lies just three hours north of Bangkok, and is home to several endangered species of animals.
One of the go-to jaunts of the royal clan of Thailand, Hua Hin has made it to our list for its accessible nature. The snob club, the royals and the locals prefer visiting Hua Hin for its beaches, water sports, shopping experiences, nightlife and the food. The existence of accommodation options to suit every wallet is a bonus point which works in promoting tourism in this city.
Known as a tropical paradise, Koh Samet, named after the ever-present Samet trees on the island, is located just a three hour drive away from Bangkok. From being a backpackers’ refuge to its recent makeover for welcoming travellers with more refined tastes and budget, Koh Samet has come a long way. The nightlife is happening on this island; so make sure you have your reservations done in advance to party the night away.
Hands down the joy one gets by getting around Khao Yai National Park, located just 3 hours north of Bangkok. The park covers large acres of land and range from Alice in Wonderland kinda hedges and mountain slopes, intense valleys, lush foliage, natural waterfalls to meticulous fields of trees. The park is home to a number of lovely guest houses, hotels and resorts to accommodate tourists. Khao Yai National Park is home to the sprawling vineyards in the vicinity of the park that supply wine to some of the best labels around the world. Did we mention that this UNESCO World Heritage site is the place you have seen in Leonardo Di Caprio starrer The Beach?
Wandering in this former Thai capital isn’t enough. Once a centre of international trade and an object of admiration of European traders, Ayutthya’s rich grandeur was destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. Till date, however, its several temples and Ayutthaya National Park are one of the most visited sites by travellers coming from different regions of the globe. Also, within the city, the Ayodha Floating Market is an incredible place to be explored. The Million Toys Museum, the Boat Museum and the Royal Folk Art and Crafts Centre are a spectacle from inside-out. Reach here from Bangkok’s Hualamphong train station, and you are sure to enjoy the hour and half ride beholding beautiful countryside views on the way.
Kanchanaburi has all the place to serve as the perfect backdrop for an epic selfie: the bridge built over the river Kwai, the tiger temple and the Khmer temple ruins. Plus, the bamboo rafting experience on the river Khwai is one to be treasured. Death Railway to Burma (now Myanmar) and several museums related to the World War II are also present in this city. Of course, the riverside restaurants and jovial vibes inspire many backpackers and city-dwellers to take refuge on the banks of Kwai for a respite. With its accessible waterfalls and national parks, this Thai province has gained popularity over a period of years among the locals and foreign tourists.
So, which of the above places are you going to hit? Share your views with us. | 2019-04-23T20:25:35 | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/travel/bangkok/travel-guide/weekend-escapes-from-bangkok/gs35065866.cms |

North Dakota scored three times during a five-minute major on the Gophers, paving the way to a 4-0 victory cruise before a sellout crowd of 11,890 at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – North Dakota took out five-plus years of frustration against the Gophers on Saturday night, most of it during one five-minute power play.
Gophers defenseman Jack Glover took a major penalty for checking from behind, drawing Minnesota’s third game misconduct of the young season.
By the time his penalty box substitute returned to the ice, North Dakota had scored three times, paving the way to a 4-0 victory cruise before a sellout crowd of 11,890 at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
The loss ended the Gophers’ seven-game unbeaten streak (5-0-2) against their archrival that dated to 2012.
No. 4 North Dakota (4-1-1) plays the same goal song as the Chicago Blackhawks, The Fratellis’ “Chelsea Dagger,” and the jam-packed student section almost looked tired from singing “Doo-doo-doo!” on repeat during Glover’s penalty.
Minnesota's Leon Bristedt is upended by UND's Austin Poganski in the first period Friday at the Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks.
The No. 8 Gophers (3-3) had to wonder how the game might have been different with more discipline. Remove the five-minute major, and Minnesota actually played better than it did in Friday’s 2-1 victory.
North Dakota outshot the Gophers 35-18 in that first game only to get stonewalled by goalie Eric Schierhorn. This time, the shots were 22-18 in Minnesota’s favor.
Major penalties and special teams play have been big issues for the Gophers so far this season. First, the power play: Minnesota went 0-for-6 on Saturday, 0-for-11 on the weekend, and is 3-for-31 on the season.
Then, there’s the penalty kill: In their opponents’ 33 power-play chances, the Gophers have allowed 10 goals, including three in nine chances Saturday.
Major penalties are especially taxing for teams because the man advantage doesn’t expire when the team on the power play scores.
Ryan Lindgren got a game misconduct (and five-minute major) for contact to the head in a 2-0 win over Union on Oct. 7. Six days later, Leon Bristedt took a checking-from-behind penalty in a 3-1 loss to Penn State, getting a game-misconduct, a five-minute major and a one-game suspension from the Big Ten.
Saturday the Gophers were already in a 1-0 hole late in the first period, when Glover decked North Dakota freshman Collin Adams with his stick in front of the Fighting Hawks bench.
The five-minute power play started with a 4-on-3, as Lindgren (cross-checking) and UND’s Shane Gersich (roughing) had just gone to the box at the same time.
With 40.7 seconds left in the first period, Christian Wolanin made it 2-0 on a shot that appeared to deflect off a defender.
North Dakota then brought out the dagger early in the second period. Colton Poolman wristed a shot past a screened Schierhorn, and Wolanin scored on another slapshot with two seconds left on Glover’s penalty.
“Our effort was there tonight; it was just our discipline that put us in trouble,” Sheehy said. | 2019-04-18T17:08:36 | http://www.startribune.com/north-dakota-beats-gophers-men-s-hockey-team-for-first-time-since-2012/452184423/ |

When did Kilrathi ship design change?
I ain't played WC1,2 OR 4 Just a bit of WC 3, and all of Prophecy & Saga; I've been watching other players do play throughs (WC1, 2 & 'Standoff' for ex) and it occurred to me: when did Kats change their ship models from the 'conventional' & somewhat bulbous shapes (see the Kamekh, Ralatha, Ralari & the Fralthra for an example) to their ships & fighter/strike craft looking more like edged weapons? Is it canonical or did the modelers simply get to the point where it was easier to create such things?
I think someone just decided evil shoeboxes were a better design for them at some point. It wasn't an engine thing, Armada seemed to support the more traditional designs just fine.
it DOES make me wonder if the earlier designs are for real. If anybody wants to use the FS2 Open to 'recreate/polish-up' WC1 & 2 will they use the newer styles as opposed to the older styles.
The change was more on the development side than something that happened in the Wing Commander world. From our perspective, the change happened in 1994 between the Privateer Righteous Fire expansion and Wing Commander Armada.
Behind the scenes, the overhaul had to do with a big visual rework for Wing Commander III (where they moved to live actors instead of animated characters for cutscenes.) Having the Kilrathi ships change was partially a result of the new game engine: Wing Commander I, II and Privateer had a sprite-based scaling engine. It stored all the ships as (for the time) detailed pre-rendered images and then scaled and rotated them in flight. Almost all ships were designed to be symmetrical because it significantly reduced the number of rendered images the game needed to store, which was a major concern before the games started shipping on CD-ROMs. This also meant that things like curves which were difficult to achieve with a 3D engine could be used in ship designs more easily. Wing Commander III used a 3D engine, an ancestor of the sort most games use today. Ships are (very, very small) 3D meshes with texturing applied. That meant straight lines often looked best and that asymmetrical ships could now be done very easily. So from that tech they developed the art direction that the Kilrathi ships tend to be jagged and off-center.
As far as the history of the Wing Commander universe goes, many of the designs exist at the same time... so there's not a backstory about the Kilrathi changing at a specific time.
Thanks; I figured it had something to do with the 'tech' that was available. I look forward to whatever 'playable' comes next-be it FS2-open based, or not...and why not, the war lasted 30+++ years, I'm sure there are plenty of stories, short and long that can be created.
I figure then that anybody who wants to create their own missions/campaign can 'redesign' the early Kilrathi ship models so they conform with the 'angles, points & blades' of the later styles?
Well, the Wing Commander movie had a Dralthi that was very angular and bat-like and that movie takes place before the first game, so thats all the clearance I think you'll ever need.
In my imagination Kilrathi ships always looked like in WC1 and WC2, never got used to the later designs. | 2019-04-20T10:50:04 | https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/when-did-kilrathi-ship-design-change.29272/ |

Who determines the currency exchange rate between countries?
Why is it that the areas or world with the most natural food and mineral resources (i.e. tropical countries) tend to be the poorest? Why aren't currency exchange rates all the same? What is so special about the G8 countries or economies?

On behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Friday, June 26, 2015.
With the heavy foot traffic of New York City, it is no surprise that pedestrian accidents are a common occurrence. Many people do not know what to do after they've been injured in a pedestrian accident. After seeking medical attention if necessary, victims can write down as many details about the accident as they can. Accident victims can note their injuries, wage losses, and other losses they may have suffered because of the accident. If other people were involved in the accident, they may also take note of the conversations they have had with those other individuals.
In addition to writing about the accident, victims will often need to gather documents relating to the accident. These documents may include medical records and employment records. Victims may document the accident by taking photographs of the damages and collecting physical items relating to the damage.
The next step will involve finding and contacting witnesses to see if anyone can confirm the victim's version of the events. Victims may also want to contact those who they feel are responsible for the injuries, whether it be a government agency or another civilian. Injured pedestrians may want to give these parties notice about any claims they wish to file in the future.
Keep in mind that every state has a statute of limitations which limits the amount of time that you have to file suit against those responsible for the accident. In some states, you will only have a year to file your claim. After getting hit by a car, seeking the advice of a legal professional may be beneficial to help you manage all the details of your case. | 2019-04-23T04:31:56 | https://www.thegaffneylawfirm.com/blog/2015/06/what-should-i-do-if-i-was-injured-in-a-pedestrian-accident.shtml |

Use of Marijuana is increasingly becoming popular across the world. Previously, making edibles was all about camouflage. While this is still part of the reason for some people, edibles are beyond that. Today, it is about style and having fun in the kitchen. It is not hiding weed in your pocket to keep pinching. The stereotype and judgment in society were significantly reduced.
The Marijuana effect comes slowly but strongly. It is more regulated in amount going into your blood stream at any point. The effect lasts longer than when smoking.
Besides the effect, you are likely to consume less of edibles than you will when smoking. It lasts longer because you can control your intake.
Edibles are much healthier than smoking. Brownies and cookies as the most popular edibles are primarily made of butter.
Edibles are more relaxing. There is no heat or smoke involved after the cooking process. It is nothing strange.
Cooking marijuana edibles requires little knowledge of ingredients. There is nothing special with the baking process. The recipes are simple to follow and flexible, meaning you can change the steps to achieve different results.
If you smoke weed then you may be interested in how to cook weed edibles. The only requirement is a kitchen with an oven but it depends on the type of edibles. Of course, it is only allowed for adults. If you consider the benefits of cooked marijuana in comparison with smoked weed, it would be important to learn how to make weed edible. The recipes are simple enough for anyone who has the time to wait for the simmering process.
Since making your own edibles gives you stronger, longer, and legal experience, it is important to learn how to make it. Canna oil or canna butter can allow you to make cookies, cakes, brownies, and syrups or candles. If you follow instructions obediently, you can achieve a recipe to replace your smoking. It comes with a great taste and retains the medicinal value.
Here are few recipes to nutritious cannabis.
Use Cannabutter to explore how you can improve your weed bake cooking. Most importantly, it is easy to make and there is no need avoiding to try it out at home.
Place your decarboxylated weed and butter in a pot and add water. Ensure that you maintain low heat to allow it to simmer for up to 6 hours. The water allows the butter to stay moist and not burn. The idea is: as long as the butter stays intact, you can maintain the application of heat. This will allow as many cannabinoids to get into the butter. The most popular method used is 6 hours in the crockpot.
Allow the bake time to cool enough so you can handle it. You may strain out the plant material and discard it as the THC is now in the butter. You may cool it in your fridge overnight to allow it to harden enough.
Your cannabutter is ready for use!
These are some of the most popular weed edibles. They are easy to make hence they are a good home alternative to smoking marijuana. In fact, the recipe is easy enough for amateurs and newbies who want to try out their first experiment.
Mix the commercial store-bought brownie mix with your cannabutter to simmer for 30 minutes.
The result is a harder brownie, which is more resistant to spoiling because have nuts or milk.
Making weed cookies is the best way to share it with friends as you can monitor your dosage. For example, you use an ounce of weed in our canna butter that is equivalent to 28 grams of canna oil. Instead of using smoked options, entertain your guests with cheaper means of weed supply by sharing cookies.

We know certain things to be true of God for one reason: in His mercy He has revealed some of His qualities to us. God is spirit, by nature intangible (John 4:24). God is One, but He exists as three Persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17). God is infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), incomparable (2 Samuel 7:22), and unchanging (Malachi 3:6). God exists everywhere (Psalm 139:7-12), knows everything (Psalm 147:5; Isaiah 40:28), and has all power and authority (Ephesians 1; Revelation 19:6).
The Holy Spirit gives one or more spiritual gifts to each Christian. We believe every believer is a minister and is encouraged to find, in God’s timing, his or her place of service in the Body of Christ, the Church. 1 Corinthians 12:4-7. | 2019-04-18T18:20:23 | https://bridgepointecc.org/our-biblical-beliefs/ |

Welcome to the second installment of the weekly inspirational roundup! I received feedback from many of you that the first post of this Friday series was great for finding new blogs and bloggers to connect with, as well as finding inspirational reads. There are many great posts published every day, and it’s my pleasure to share a few of them with you every Friday. So, here’s volume 2.
I often head over to Madelyn Griffith-Haynie’s blog titled “ADD… and-so-much-MORE!” Why go there? I get my fill of psychology, health, research and the relations between them all. Her EF Management Tips and Tricks post is one to spotlight this week. EF stands for executive functioning, and there is a lot to learn about it.
In particular, Madelyn’s section on Feed Your Head spoke to me as it conjured up a therapy session in which my therapist told me to eat regularly (which I wasn’t doing) as a way to get my brain working optimally. I was in a mental fog for a long time. Please check out the post and Madelyn’s other posts. I am always learning so much over there!
Okay, then there’s a quote card from Orlando Espinosa. Featuring those adorable cartoon Minions, this post has a simple yet important message: don’t give up!
Read the text before the quote card to see why you’re better off hanging on when the going gets rough. Look at this post if you need a pick-me-up in your day.
Next up is a great post on the subject of appreciation from Tanvir Kaur at myexpressionofthoughtsblog. She talks about blessings and being grateful for what is around you. There are quotes, personal tips, and lots of optimism.
If you’re a graphic design lover and a mental health advocate then you’re sure to think this next post is a gem. This post consists of a great digital design created by Rahm Designs, LLC. As per the creator, it was made for a college typography class.
Let me know if you “love” it too (you’ll get why I put the word love in quotes when you see it). More people need to appreciate the creativity of this one, I think, so I’m sharing its link with you all.
Over at readilearn, you’ll receive weekly teaching resources that help early childhood educators promote kids’ learning. Founder Norah Colvin treats us to an integrated learning experience in her latest post, Learning about life on a farm. This post offers excellent suggestions for teachers looking to develop children’s literacy and mathematics skills in a contextual way rather than skills in isolation.
I remember learning about farm life as a kid and loving it. From the food animals eat to where they originated from, there is so much for children to learn when it comes to farm life. The post is detailed and provides many great teaching tips.
Author Alexis Rose begins her heartfelt blog post with this question: “I think to myself how would I describe wisdom if I were asked?” She explains how the word wisdom, for her, is the “ability to be present.” I found her explanation of how she cannot always be in the present moment to be very touching, to the point that I wanted to give her a hug.
We are all faced with challenges, and Alexis never hides behind her fears or problems she faces. I think that shows a lot of courage, which is why I want to spotlight her post here in this weekly inspirational roundup of blogs.
When I saw a blog post titled 30-Day Self-Care Challenge: Done and Dusted at Budding Regardless, I immediately had to read it. It did not let me down. Mbalenhle Khuzwayo describes her 30-day journey toward achieving more self-love as “refreshing.” She accepted the challenge to celebrate herself by doing a particular activity each day of the month.
From unfriending and unfollowing inactive accounts on social media to watching movies, creating an inspiration board, exercising more, having a bubble bath, and getting a manicure, Mbalenhle accomplished a lot during her month! Taking time to focus on ourselves is so important, and it helps us give more love in the long run to others, so I’m a fan of this post.
What an absolute HONOR to be featured on a post about “Inspirational” bloggers, Christy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
What an amazingly endorsing comment, Christy. Thank you so much. I’m grinning like the village idiot at this moment.
🙂 Now I’m grinning too!
I’ll definitely check out some of these when I get back from my short blogging break! <3 I'm especially interested in the self-care and the hugs. I like the blog title, "Budding regardless." Teaching kids stuff is always good fun! When I used to tutor… and I'm basically a kid at heart. I'll head over there, too.
Thank you Christy . I am really honoured to be featured on the inspirational blogger!! I am glad you felt so!!
Thank You so, so much Christy!
A lovely round up, Christy.
<3 I'm sending a big cup of strawberries your way!
AmyRose, you’re sweet as a rose!!
Very nice thanks for the links too!
Hi Diane 🙂 So welcome ~ there are many great blogs to discover!
Great list of blogs! A few I have visited before. Thanks for sharing.
Great Cheryl! I’ve also found some quality blogs through links in your posts so thank you too.
I hated returning the books!
Thank you very much for including me in your roundup, Christy. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get here. I’ve worked my way back through a backlog of emails and found your post. What an honour to be included. Best wishes, Norah.
Great to hear about your visit with your daughter, Norah! Oh that must be hard not seeing her regularly. I am quite close to my mom so I understand. The weekend is almost here again… My, the week is flying by!
The weeks, the months, the years, they all fly by too fast.
PS I am enjoying Versions of the Self. The poems are very moving. I feel the (mostly) pain as I am reading, and am pleased by the growth I see occurring.
Many hugs for the unexpected words here about Versions of the Self and the healing process, Norah! | 2019-04-22T10:50:29 | https://whenwomeninspire.com/2017/07/21/weekly-inspirational-roundup-volume-2/ |

In a global business environment where margins and, consequently, bonus payments are falling, key people in an organisation can face motivational conflicts. Furthermore, internal controls systems are not always up to speed with the latest developments in international organisations.
This situation can lead to much higher risks of fraud from within the organisation. To address this risk, you need a professional service provider with truly global experience and the technical know-how to perform quick, efficient checks. | 2019-04-22T22:17:55 | http://www.roedl.net/hu/en/services/audit/fraud_investigation.html |

JUSTIN ROSS: I am writing to tell you that after 10 amazing years representing you in the Maryland House of Delegates that I will be retiring on November 9th to spend more time with my lovely wife, my 4 beautiful children, and to concentrate on giving back to Prince George’s County as a private citizen and as a member of the business community. Words cannot possibly express the gratitude I feel for the opportunities that you have given me. Representing my hometown in the legislature over the past decade has truly been a dream come true.
Together, we have been part of some important political battles back in Prince George’s County, as well as some truly historic votes in Annapolis. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the most committed neighborhood activists around, as well as serving with some of the most honorable public servants, Democrats and Republicans. The experience was a true gift, in every sense of the word, so please allow me just a couple of thoughts that I would like to share.
In November of 2001, when my wife and I returned from our honeymoon, we immediately set out for the campaign trail. We were newly married, had just bought a house in College Park and were preparing to run for an open seat that was vacated by then Delegate Rushern Baker (what ever happened to that guy :-)). We hit our first doors in February of 2002 and I spent countless hours handing out our “Justin Ross” pens at the Hamilton Street, Route 450, and Greenbelt Safeway’s. That campaign consisted of 50,000 pieces of literature, 10,000 pens, at least 1,000 yard signs, enough red Ross t-shirts to outfit a small city, 100 volunteers for the Greenbelt Labor Day Parade (including FDR’s grandson Jim Roosevelt), 1 new district map in the middle of the campaign, and 1 awesome victory party at Lasick’s Restaurant. Since then, I have had the pleasure of attending Berwyn Heights pancake breakfasts, lead Fourth of July Parades in University Park, attend National Nights Out with Beacon Heights and Templeton Knolls, listen to live music at Summer Jams in Hyattsville, attend “New Carrollton Days”, go caroling in Riverdale Park, barbecue with my friends in Kingswood, and last but not least visit the Greenbelt Golden Age Club (I love you guys!!) I have had the pleasure of helping organize civic associations, assist with immigration issues, court new business to our community, tour flooded basements, meet with crime victims in their time of need, and help encourage and support kids on their way to college.
Although some of it was difficult it never felt like work. After 10 years of working for, with, and alongside Prince Georgians, I know today what I have known my whole life; that we are a proud, hardworking, and resilient group of people. I am grateful to have represented constituents, who are thoughtful, well informed, and passionate about their community. My decision to retire was not an easy one but it was made easier in knowing that, together, we have made a great deal of progress for Prince George’s County.
Let me say a couple of “thank you’s” before I wrap this up. First, I want to say thank you to my wife Nancy, without you none of this would have been possible. I want to thank my children Caroline, Andrew, Jackson, and Katherine for being my living reminders of why we need a society that strives for a better tomorrow. I want to thank my Mom, Dad, sister Abby, and the rest of my family for supporting me in this endeavor (and walking in A LOT of parades). I want to thank Brad Frome, Ryan Duffy, Gia Franzone, Kim Mayhew, Nick Leonardi, Walter Moody, and everyone else that has worked in my office on behalf of the 22nd District. I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Senator Paul Pinsky, and Delegates Ann Healey and Tawanna Gaines for being great partners for our district. Finally, I want to thank the citizens of the 22nd District. 10 years ago, I asked for your vote, but what you gave me was your trust, love, and support. It was a truly amazing experience and from the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you, I love you, and I’ll never forget it.
Hmm. We'll report more on this soon! | 2019-04-21T06:29:23 | http://www.marylandjuice.com/2012/09/delegate-justin-ross-to-resign-from.html |
Normal for iPhone order to be stuck at "Preparing for shipment" for over 4 days?
Discussion in 'iPhone' started by ronaldcastillo, Dec 5, 2013.
My estimated delivery isn't expected until the 16th, but I've noticed that Apple charged my card when the status changed to Preparing for shipment which was around Sunday night. It's still stuck at that process, but isn't apple suppose to charge my card when the item actually ships out?
I dont think thats right at this point.
Mine was preparing for shipment for less than a couple of hours on the 17 and it shipped later that day. Was suppose to get here on the 21st but UPS screwed up.
Now apple sent me another one on tuesday "preparing for shipment"and shipped that night.
Scheduled for delivery friday which is tomorrow.
Call them up. Preparing for shipment should not last more than a few hours, at most a day. Either the website hasn't updated properly, or your order is stuck.
Just got a silver 5s. Ordered it Monday afternoon and it was in my hands Wednesday afternoon.
Was it the sim-free version? I ordered Saturday afternoon, and changed to Preparing for shipment the next day but since then the status didn't changed. I've order many products on Apple and the longest I've ever got "Preparing for shipment" was about a day or less.
Yes. Sim free 16gb from the Irish Apple website.
Still stuck at "Preparing for shipment". Debating if I should give Apple a call.
I had that happen to me once and it was actually in shipment the whole time (delivered on time) but just didn't update until the day it was delivered.
That's what I'm thinking, a friend of mines ordered the same model a day after and hers already shipped out two days after. I would understand if it's still at Processing Items but over 5 days stuck at Preparing for shipment sounds odd for some reason. | 2019-04-26T12:01:03 | https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/normal-for-iphone-order-to-be-stuck-at-preparing-for-shipment-for-over-4-days.1681130/ |

Back before David Ortiz was one of the greatest hitters in Red Sox history, he was a clubhouse prankster in Minnesota. Towards the end of his tenure with the Twins, Ortiz was part of some pretty fantastic pranks involving Corey Koskie, including an epic peanut butter incident. Let’s hear the story from their teammate Torii Hunter, as published in the Player’s Tribune.
Then he put his pants on. Nothing.
Then his shirt. Then his shoes. Then his coat. Still nothing.
He started walking away, and we were like, OK, does he have peanut butter in there? Or is he just used to having stuff between his legs?
“Yoooooou motherfuckers!” … In that signature Papi voice.
In honor of his retirement, the Twins gifted Ortiz with a jar of peanut butter before Friday’s series opener to commemorate that incident. Maybe the oddest inside-joke retirement gift of all time. | 2019-04-21T22:14:30 | http://lifeofasportsaholic.com/2016/06/11/david-ortiz-has-a-sticky-crotch/ |

"Design has matured from a largely stylistic endeavor to a field tasked with solving thorny technological and social problems, an evolution that will accelerate as companies enlist designers for increasingly complex opportunities, from self-driving cars to human biology. 'Over the next five years, design as a profession will continue to evolve into a hybrid industry that is considered as much technical as it is creative,' says Dave Miller, a recruiter at the design consultancy Artefact. 'A new wave of designers formally educated in human-centered design—taught to weave together research, interaction, visual and code to solve incredibly gnarly 21st-century problems—will move into leadership positions. They will push the industry to new heights of sophistication.'" | 2019-04-22T00:49:03 | http://folksonomy.co/?keyword=14640 |
The moon has been hiding its age, according to scientists who revealed Earth’s natural satellite is 4.51 billion years old, making it up to 140 million years older than previously estimated.
"We are really sure that this age is very, very robust," lead author of the new research Melanie Barboni told Space.com. The findings by the team from the University of California Los Angeles were published in the journal Science Advances.
The new estimate places the moon’s formation as 60 million years after the formation of the solar system, making it considerably older than the previous estimate of 150 to 200 million years.
Using uranium-lead dating on fragments of the mineral zircon, the team were able to estimate the new age of the moon, claiming the estimate is within 10 million years of its actual age. Zircon, a remnant of the liquid-magma ocean that once covered the moon before cooling and solidifying, was extracted from samples obtained from the 1971 ‘Apollo 14’ mission.
The team were able to correct the influence of cosmic rays on the mineral which can manipulate samples.
Barboni said the new age makes more sense from a dynamics point of view, as more celestial objects were flying around the solar system at the time, risking collisions with each other.
The leading explanation for the moon's formation, known as the Giant Impact Hypothesis, claims a planet the size of Mars collided with Earth, sending large chunks of debris into space.
On Monday Israeli scientists suggested the moon was created by several moons left over from the collision, eventually forming one body. | 2019-04-24T19:12:15 | https://www.rt.com/viral/373441-moon-age-revealed-satellite/ |
A MISSED conversion cost Evesham the bonus point that could yet prove decisive in the Midlands Two West (South) relegation dogfight.
Saturday's 14-5 defeat at fourth-placed Earlsdon saw Evesham slide to third bottom in the standings with fellow strugglers Southam and Rugby St Andrews posting wins.
The visitors struggled to keep possession but were tenacious in defence, doing well to restrict their opponents to just two converted tries.
Will Bugg scored Evesham's only points with a try late on but the missed kick ensured a yield slipped through their grasp.
Ninth-placed Southam, who leapfrogged Evesham at the weekend, are the visitors to Albert Road on Saturday (2.15). | 2019-04-25T16:00:25 | https://www.cotswoldjournal.co.uk/sport/17392644.rugby-earlsdon-14-evesham-5/ |

Hello guys, I’m Jake Weingarten the new staff member here at the site, just wanted to introduce myself and answer any questions you guys have.
Hi Jake! I just created my profile to be listed on the 2019 Rankings.
I wanted to share a reference to Ayris Gratts-Cole. A young 15 yr old, 6"2 combo forward from Fort Worth Country Day private school in Fort Worth, Texas. I wasn’t sure how much coverage you guys give to the private school sector. Check out his Hudl and MaxPreps. He recently let loose with a 12 Pt. 17 Reb. effort against Southwest Christian. He is super athletic, excellent passer, with great hands, and is still growing! This is his first year of high school basketball after attending an academic academy his 9th grade year, where athletics weren’t a part of the curriculum.
They’ll be playing at the Hillsboro Tournament from December 6th-8th, and @ the Glen Rose Christmas Showcase, December 28 & 29. Just looking to add to what you guys do a great job of doing already, and hopefully helping a hard-working young man get some positive notoriety one day. | 2019-04-26T02:06:00 | https://future150.com/hs-basketball-boards/viewthread/3210/ |
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a bill Thursday morning that puts the question on the ballot.
Voters authorized a 10 percent sales tax and 15 percent excise tax on recreational marijuana in 2013.
But a never-before-triggered rule under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights means the state will have to refund all of the money generated by those taxes in the 2014-15 fiscal year that ends June 30.
"There was a glitch," Hickenlooper said. "We have to go back to the voters and ask them if we can keep the money that they already asked us to collect."
The state has allocated about $30 million on marijuana- related programs during the next fiscal year, and unless this bill passes, that money will come from the general fund rather than pot taxes. If the ballot question fails, the money will be returned to taxpayers through a sales tax holiday for marijuana purchases, an excise tax refund directly to marijuana cultivators, and about $25 million total in refunds to every taxpayer in the state.
House Bill 1367 does much more than just ask voters to keep the money, though.
First, it spends the money.
If the state gets to keep the $58 million, $40 million will go to fund a grant program for school construction projects known as BEST (Building Excellent Schools Today).
Voters have twice seen that $40 million figure promised for school construction, once in Amendment 64, the 2012 ballot imitative that legalized recreational marijuana, and once in Proposition AA, which taxed marijuana in 2013.
Sen. Pat Steadman, a Denver Democrat who sponsored the bill, said that despite seeing that promised investment twice, only about $25 million has been invested in BEST. "This November, when they vote yes, there will be $40 million going to capital construction in public schools," he said.
That will bring the total investment in the program since retail sales began in January 2014 to $65 million.
- $300,000 will go to help fund 4-H programs at the state fair and Future Farmers of America.
Steadman and Hickenlooper both said they anticipate Colorado voters will let the state keep the money.
"The message from the voters is clear: If it's going to be legal it ought to be taxed," Steadman said.
Regardless of whether the question passes, the state will be repaid slowly through future pot tax collections for the $30 million it budgeted in the 2015-16 fiscal year for marijuana related programs.
If the state can't keep the money, it will be repaid to taxpayers through a complicated formula.
Marijuana cultivators will receive an estimated $19.7 million through excise tax repayments. A tax-free holiday beginning January 2016 will run until $13.3 million in sales taxes have been avoided by those buying marijuana. And finally, those filing state income tax returns will get a share of $25 million returned through a sales tax credit.
The bill, independent of whether the ballot question passes or fails, reduces the recreational marijuana sales tax rate from 10 percent to 8 percent. Hickenlooper said that adjustment was made in an effort to prevent marijuana sales from being diverted to the black market. | 2019-04-25T04:02:59 | https://www.governing.com/topics/elections/tns-colorado-ballot-tax-marijuana.html |

We have high use cases for SQL databases. Most of our business critical applications use SQL to allow us to complete the DoD mission needs, so we have been using the EF-series for about two years now and everything has been going smoother and faster. We currently purchased 20 efi 60s with 1.92 terabyte SSD drives and it has been pretty effective, so far.
I would have to say performance at this point, because the application it is based on is so diverse.
Having low latency is always key, so if I had to rate it, I would rate it a 10 out of 10 of getting the best out of what we can - the best performance and low latency.
Better support technicians for CAPP.
So far, it looks good in terms of stability. It is easy to manage driven by new technology driven, Raytech. Having a singular thing to manage everything and hopefully optimizing the user experience altogether without the need to uplift and remove the expand.
It definitely meets our needs. What we hope for is that it all flies fast and once we get it in that we don't have to scale, because right now we have requirements of random 50 terabytes here and 100 terabytes there, so the ability to not need to scale and hopefully receive the benefits of the new features in 9.3 of reducing your footprint.
We have a lot of ONTAP NetApp Sales Engineers (SEs) helping us throughout the process. Some of the partners are being evolved with the beginning to get us acclimated to the new changes.
Their SEs are experts. I would rate them a 10 out of 10.
Currently, all of our technology is on Legacy FAS systems that are end of life. We have taken the last one we can go to, and now, we have 20 sites and terabytes of data that we have to refresh and renew, so it is just a matter of time before we get to the next stage. In some instances, it is the HCI, and it other instances, it is the All Flash FAS, so it is not going to be a one-size fits all.
I was involved with the initial setup. The E-series are the easiest to set up.
The price is perfect. The price point that we're getting is very competitive in the market. Since we are buying in such a large quantity, they gave us a huge discount.
In some cases, we do consider Oracle ZFS.
Oracle ZFS is one of the vendors that's in our market arena because they don't have a maintenance policy. They have a contract internally that allows when they submit their cost estimates or their notes there is no maintenance because they have another contract vehicle that takes your maintenance. If NetApp had a similar contract vehicle to allow the maintenance to be excluded, that would significantly increase their business because their maintenance cost is killing them, or the major complaint I hear from my customers is their maintenance cost is insane.
So, in one instance we will go with NetApp. In the other instance, we will go with ZFS, because it is cheaper.
Take advantage of the node transfers that you can have with the SEs and getting to know them at their level where they are willing to help you in all aspects.
Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: support.
Our e-App system is dedicated for use with multiple apps.
We are currently going to buy some All Flash FASs next year to go with the 08300's and the 15.3 terabyte SSD drives. A huge order of 12 nodes, six AJ pairs should be imminent, second quarter for DoD.

Damian, for Final Inspection, has been capturing images since 1997 and producing videos since 2002, mostly for sharing between other professional detailers and some Final Inspection customers on various forums including the now defunct Detail Addiction, which has been transferred to Facebook as a group. He began uploading content to YouTube in 2005.
Initially Damian created very raw, very low quality, very poorly produced, but very popular still images and video usually captured on his mobile device which in 2005 wasn't great, even by 2005's standards!
Today Damian is still making sure Final Inspection has plenty of quality content for customers. This thread is a hub for all the content, organised so it's easy to find.
This is our home for still images of our detailing work. We endeavour to have a few galleries of different types of images. Of the 4TB (!) of still images we've collected since 1997 (not including analogue era film that's yet to be digitised), this collection is 1000 of the most recent images organised by vehicle, enjoy.
We had lots of fun creating FNL episodes and would like to thank Dom, co-host for a few episodes and Maurizio who voluntarily provided his efforts on and off camera for about ten episodes.
FNL began in 2014 as live Facebook posts, we eventually massaged FNL into a highly produced pre-recorded series for 2018, each episode very obviously growing into more and more thorough productions.
Please note that FNL is produced for a mature audience with some cheeky words and references peppered throughout every episode in the series.
Our favourite episode was the tiny 'original' Mini and the epic story that came with it courtesy of Jarrod, which almost had us a little teary. Many thanks to Krystian for co-hosting.
We've been churning out quality instructional videos for over a decade and we keep adding and replacing them with updates.
Everything from how to's on cleaning wheels to feeding leather, polishing watermarks out of glass -it's all been covered and constantly updated in ever increasing quality in the 'Instructionals' playlist.
Also randomly, Final Inspection customers would opt for full video documentation of our services on their rides, some of those videos are made public and can be very interesting, they are available in the Detailing playlist. They are often short and sweet, highly condensed and show lots of the technicalities Damian and team use to achieve the finish, something they are longer, highly produced and heavily edited.
Videos of interest to you may be this Ferrari F40 Concours Detail, highly detailing video covering almost all of the process in our flagship service.
Or this XR8 detail where we enjoyed a night out with the customer after collection of what was then thought as the last Falcon to leave teh now defunct Ford Australia factory who Final Inspection were in negotiations with months before closure. | 2019-04-20T00:26:28 | https://finalinspection.com.au/blogs/stuff-you-should-know/final-inspection-playlists |

A train firm has been accused of cashing in on VJ commemorations by suspending a cheap ticket offer for the day that veterans were travelling to London.
South West Trains is running a summer promotion, offering passengers return tickets to London for £20 during August.
But the offer was withdrawn for one day on Saturday – the 70th anniversary of VJ Day – meaning veterans and patriots travelling to the capital to mark the end of the war with Japan had to pay full price.
The company, part of the Stagecoach Group, said it was for safety reasons, but veterans criticised the move. Hundreds of former servicemen travelled to the capital for a parade and church service on Saturday.
And thousands of supporters lined the streets to pay their respects to those killed and injured in the war against Japan.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were also in attendance, joining Prime Minister David Cameron and former prisoners of war for a service at St Martin-in-the-Fields church.
VJ Day marked the end of one of the most hard-fought campaigns in British military history. It is estimated there were 71,000 British and Commonwealth casualties of the war with Japan, including more than 12,000 prisoners of war who died in horrific conditions.
Tony Hayes, chief executive of the Veterans’ Association UK, said he thought it was ‘mean’ to suspend the offer for VJ Day.
He pointed to the London cab drivers who drove veterans for free ‘as a mark of respect’.
Burma veteran Vic Knibb, 90, described South West Trains as ‘money-grabbing’ and bosses should be ‘ashamed’ of themselves. The vice chairman of the Burma Star Association, who fought with the 4th Battalion the Royal West Kent, said: ‘It belittles the efforts of the soldiers and what they’ve done in the past.
‘The people who run the railway should be ashamed of themselves. I think it’s terrible.
Tony Groves, who travelled from Southampton to London Waterloo station on Saturday, complained the restrictions were unclear on South West’s website when viewed on a mobile phone.
He said on Twitter: ‘Shame your mobile website is not quite so explicit about date restrictions for family offers as your full site.
The offer had represented significant savings for travellers. Without it, a super off-peak day return ticket from Weymouth to London cost £62.40, or £41.20 with a senior railcard, while an off-peak return trip to London from Salisbury would cost £38.10 or £25.15 with an Armed Forces or senior railcard. Next Saturday these journeys will again cost just £20.
South West Trains operates about 1,600 trains in the south and south-west of England with routes through Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Devon, Somerset, and London.
Its ‘2015 Summer Promotion’ offers £20 off-peak day return tickets, £8 for children, across the South West Trains network.
The offer has been widely promoted on its website and its Twitter account. The company even posted an advert for the offer on Twitter on Saturday – the day it was not valid. When asked by a commuter on Saturday why it was not valid, South West said it was ‘due to several events taking place on our network today’.
A South West Trains spokesman said it was ‘common’ to have occasional days that were exempt from an offer. She said: ‘Our marketing of this particular offer clearly states any days that are not included in the promotion. | 2019-04-25T13:11:02 | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3200296/Shame-VJ-day-rail-chiefs-Fares-cynically-ramped-day-cash-old-heroes-travelling-capital.html |
What is the most important part of a flexible pavement section? Many of you may be thinking asphalt. While that is obviously the most visible component, the correct answer is right under your feet and it’s called the sub-grade. Sub-grade is the type of soil beneath the pavement, which determines how the pavement designs are made and is a key factor in the life of a paved section. There are three types of sub-grades: sandy soils, clay soils and rocky soils. Do you know which type is found here is California?
Discover the answer and MORE….
Join us on Friday, July 27 for the FREE DRYCO Summer Pavement Maintenance Seminar.

Abstract. Observations of chemical constituents and meteorological quantities obtained during the two Arctic phases of the airborne campaign ARCTAS (Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites) are analyzed using an observationally constrained steady state box model. Measurements of OH and HO2 from the Penn State ATHOS instrument are compared to model predictions. Forty percent of OH measurements below 2 km are at the limit of detection during the spring phase (ARCTAS-A). While the median observed-to-calculated ratio is near one, both the scatter of observations and the model uncertainty for OH are at the magnitude of ambient values. During the summer phase (ARCTAS-B), model predictions of OH are biased low relative to observations and demonstrate a high sensitivity to the level of uncertainty in NO observations. Predictions of HO2 using observed CH2O and H2O2 as model constraints are up to a factor of two larger than observed. A temperature-dependent terminal loss rate of HO2 to aerosol recently proposed in the literature is shown to be insufficient to reconcile these differences. A comparison of ARCTAS-A to the high latitude springtime portion of the 2000 TOPSE campaign (Tropospheric Ozone Production about the Spring Equinox) shows similar meteorological and chemical environments with the exception of peroxides; observations of H2O2 during ARCTAS-A were 2.5 to 3 times larger than those during TOPSE. The cause of this difference in peroxides remains unresolved and has important implications for the Arctic HOx budget. Unconstrained model predictions for both phases indicate photochemistry alone is unable to simultaneously sustain observed levels of CH2O and H2O2; however when the model is constrained with observed CH2O, H2O2 predictions from a range of rainout parameterizations bracket its observations. A mechanism suitable to explain observed concentrations of CH2O is uncertain. Free tropospheric observations of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) are 2–3 times larger than its predictions, though constraint of the model to those observations is sufficient to account for less than half of the deficit in predicted CH2O. The box model calculates gross O3 formation during spring to maximize from 1–4 km at 0.8 ppbv d−1, in agreement with estimates from TOPSE, and a gross production of 2–4 ppbv d−1 in the boundary layer and upper troposphere during summer. Use of the lower observed levels of HO2 in place of model predictions decreases the gross production by 25–50%. Net O3 production is near zero throughout the ARCTAS-A troposphere, and is 1–2 ppbv in the boundary layer and upper altitudes during ARCTAS-B.

I tend to be a New Testament guy. It’s not that I think the Old Testament is any less inspired or profitable than the New; it’s just that I usually find more application from my own dispensation.
But the lesson God is currently teaching me is one found repeatedly throughout those writings before the incarnation.
But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength.
This waiting means that we must place our absolute trust in God. In the good times as well as the bad, we must have faith that he will come through for us. We must believe that his plans are better than our own. We must seek his will and follow his directions.
I’ve long understood all that. The part I seem to have glossed over is the fact that waiting on God really does involve waiting.
Patience is not one of my strongest qualities. I’m a techie living in a digital world where two seconds seems like a long time to wait. I’m used to finding the answers I need in a single session of Googling.
When it comes to obeying God, I sincerely do desire to walk according to his will—I just need to know what that is, and I want to know right now!
But that’s not how God works.
God is teaching me that a desire to obey is not always enough. I need wait for his instructions first, and I need to do so patiently.
Indeed, God’s plans are better than mine, and his timing is better too.
What are you waiting on God for right now? Keep trusting. Keep waiting. In his perfect timing, he will reveal his will for you.

The McGowan Government has taken another step towards preserving Western Australia's natural environment with the release of a new blueprint to manage waste.
The Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 will guide the State in becoming a sustainable, low-waste circular economy.
Historically, Western Australia has generated the highest volume of waste per capita in the nation, and has had among the lowest rates of waste recovery. Addressing our waste problem requires clear new targets and a comprehensive strategy from Government.
Implementing this system will ensure Western Australia can meet the targets set out in the Waste Strategy; the amount of waste going to landfill is reduced; and more household waste is recovered, reused and recycled.
The McGowan Government will work with local governments to adopt the three-bin FOGO system and ensure it is rolled out successfully.
The Southern Metropolitan Regional Council trialled the FOGO system across 7,000 households in 2017. The trial received strong support from locals, and the City of Melville plans to roll it out permanently in June.
The ambitious targets outlined in the strategy - a 20 per cent reduction in waste generation per capita and a 75 per cent rate of material recovery by 2030 - will build on the momentum achieved by the introduction of the McGowan Government's container deposit scheme in early 2020 and the ban on lightweight plastic bags.
"Western Australia has some of the highest rates of waste generation in the nation. This has to change.
"The Waste Strategy will help protect our unique natural environment and ensures we can become a cleaner, more environmentally sustainable State.
"This strategy provides an opportunity for all of us to work together to improve environmental outcomes, create jobs and support new and existing businesses.
"By rolling out the three-bin system across all metropolitan local governments, we will ensure more value is recovered from household waste. Many WA households have welcomed the system with open arms, and my Government will work with local governments to build on that success.
"By reducing the waste we send to landfill, we can generate significant economic opportunities for Western Australians - recycling 10,000 tonnes of waste creates three times more jobs than sending the same amount of waste to landfill."
"The time to act on waste is now, and recognising that waste is a shared responsibility is the first step. We know the community are very supportive of better waste and recycling practices.
"We need all Western Australians to generate less waste, recover more value and resources from waste and to protect the Western Australian environment by managing waste responsibly.
"This Waste Strategy is a vision for all Western Australians - individuals, households, industries and businesses - to get on board and do their bit.
"The State Government will work collaboratively with local governments and the community to achieve these ambitious targets."

Some people swear by CSAs. Who wouldn’t want to be forced to figure out a way to use eight zucchinis every week? Alright, maybe CSAs aren’t ideal for lazy, always-dine-out kind of guys like me. However, two things are for sure: They’re healthy and they’re good for farmers – two things you’d think the federal government would want to support.
As Modern Farmer reports, a recent change in the Farm Bill does exactly that. Previously, if people on SNAP—the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program often referend to as “food stamps”—wanted to join a CSA, they had to pay weekly, which isn’t typically how CSAs work. Part of the benefit of a CSA to farmers is that they get the money for the entire season up front. And processing payments weekly is more time-intensive. But with these new changes, SNAP benefits can be used to join a CSA the same way any other member would: at the start of the season.
The change is potentially good for both SNAP users and farmers. As Modern Farmer points out, the government spends about $74 billion on the food stamp program, meaning changes to the way SNAP works for CSAs is a potential boon for smaller local farmers. But at its heart, the point of the program is to help people eat. The rule change helps them, too. “Everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food, regardless of their income level,” said Bryan Allan of Zenger Farm, who helped advocate for the new rules. Even if that healthy food is way too many zucchinis. Hopefully some of the people using SNAP are more creative in the kitchen than I am. | 2019-04-18T23:19:34 | https://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/food/joining-csa-snap-benefits-now-easier-ever |
CEBU’S top amateur golfer Lloyd Jefferson Go shot a 69 in the fourth and final round of the 2018 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship and closed out the four-day tournament at the Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore yesterday at fourth place among hundreds of golfers from 40 countries.
Go, a former ace junior golfer of Cebu Country Club (CCC), shot a total of 270 from rounds of 65, 67 and a pair of 69s. Go was three strokes behind eventual winner Japan’s Takumi Kanaya, who carded a 65 in the final round to steal the win.
Go was one shot shy away of tying the runners-up Rayhan Thomas of India and Keita Nakajami of Japan, who both carded 269 for a joint second place in the 10th edition of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, which started last Oct. 4.
Go, ranked 149th in the World’s Amateur Golf ranking, paced the field after the second round but lost it in the third.
He played superb golf in the opening round, scoring 65 built from seven birdies against two bogeys to take an early lead after the first round. Go continued to played well and hit five birdies and two bogeys for a 67 to share the lead with China’s Cheng Jin after the second round.
Go fired 69 in the third round and entered the final round with aggregate score of 201. He had a one stroke lead over Japan’s Nakajami and Kanaya. Thomas and Thailand’s K.K Limbahasut were also in striking distance with 203.
Kanaya shot 65 in the final round and had seven birdies against two bogeys to steal the thunder from the Filipino golfer. Kanaya had a string of birdies in hole Nos. 1, 3, 5 and 6 before adding another in the back nine at hole Nos. 14, 15 and 16.
It was a solid start for Go in the final round, hitting two birdies at the first three holes but he fell with bogeys in hole Nos. 8 and 13. He birdied No.16 and parred the final two holes. | 2019-04-21T08:46:38 | https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1768031/Cebu/Sports/Go-finishes-FOURTH-in-Asia-Pacific-golf?rss=1 |
NORTH BRANFORD >> Trailing Ridgefield Little League 7-0 after the first inning, it didn’t look good for North Branford in Section I pool play at Wall Field on Thursday.
Sparked by a three-run home run by Tommy Manganiello in a four-run second inning, North Branford put together one of its best comebacks of the season to pull out a 12-11 win. The win clinched a spot for North Branford in the Section I championship game against Fairfield American in Orange on Saturday at 8 p.m.
“These guys are the craziest group of kids I have ever coached,” North Branford manager Joe Moscari said. “Our players are always loose, they never get down on themselves and they’re always positive. We went into pool play struggling on offense without hitting well. But now we’re hitting and a different guy steps up in every game.
In the second inning, Manganiello belted a fastball over the centerfield fence for his three-run homer and James Moscari, the manager’s son, added an RBI single to cut the lead to 7-4 and start the comeback.
Trailing 8-6 going into the bottom of the fifth inning, North Branford scored five runs to take an 11-8 lead. Ryan Michonski had one of the big hits in the inning with his two-run double giving North Branford its first lead in the game at 9-8.
In the top of the sixth inning, Ridgefield mounted a comeback of its own when Matthew Bucciero hit a three homer to tie the game at 11. Bucciero, the leadoff hitter, went 5-for-5 in the game and added a solo homer in the first inning.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, with runners on first and second base and no outs, Moscari hit a grounder to second. The out was made at second base to start a double play but the throw to first went in the dirt and bounced away, allowing pinch runner Ben Stegina to score the winning run from second base. | 2019-04-26T10:17:39 | https://www.nhregister.com/sports/article/North-Branford-overcomes-big-deficit-advances-to-11729761.php |
Data visualization is crucial to understanding the big data being generated by apps and services. Data visualization toolkits such as D3.js and charting toolkits are immensely popular but it remains difficult to create meaningful dashboards or usable analytics tools or clear data visualizations. This talk will discuss data visualization principles, present best practices, showcase excellent visualizations in practice, and share useful tips and mistakes learned.
5. Data visualization helps people understand data through visual display.
6. Communicating knowledge clearly and efficiently. Displaying data to understand cause and effect.
7. “The purpose of visualization is insight, not pictures” Ben Schneiderman A.K.A. It’s not about aesthetics.
8. “#DataVisualization is not about creating infographics for your marketing department. - @RamiSayar #bigdata #dataviz” I dare you to tweet that.
10. Booming Field – Potentially Creating 1.9 Million Jobs.
11. Let’s start with this + some sample D3.js code.
12. The context in which data is visually placed impacts the knowledge that can be gleaned or communicated.
19. Example: Take Care of your Choropleth Maps by Gregor Aisch Don’t mess around with your class limits.
20. Example: Take Care of your Choropleth Maps by Gregor Aisch Don’t mess around with your class colors.
21. Example: Take Care of your Choropleth Maps by Gregor Aisch • Place data in comparison for context, e.g. class count.
22. Mapping with D3.js • D3.js includes routines for handling geographic information. • GeoJSON is the geographic data file of choice. Fairly complicated process to convert primary mapping information to GeoJSON. • Instead use: johan/world.geo.json • TopoJSON is an extension of GeoJSON that encodes topology instead of geometrics -> smaller data files.
25. • The context in which data is visually placed impacts the knowledge that can be gleaned or communicated. • Enforce the right comparisons for the context. • Many problems are multivariate (i.e. multiple variables) and that needs to be recognized in the data visualization.
26. The knowledge communicated through visualizations must match the underlying data.
32. • The knowledge communicated through visualizations must match the underlying data. • Follow convention in how you model your data and axis. • The objective of data visualization is communicate information to the viewer, misleading by deception or confusion (even accidentally) will not serve your purpose.
33. Although devices present data in two dimensions, this desolate flatland can be escaped.
37. Using three dimensions incorrectly adds no value or obfuscates the data visualization. Example: The Ebb and Flow of Movies: Box Office Receipts by NYTimes. Yes I know, it’s meant to be interactive.

Accra, March 30, 2017 – The Deputy Minister designate for the Ministry of Finance, Hon. Abena Osei Asare (MP) has reiterated government’s commitment to fight corruption. She noted that opaque company structures are being used to launder significant sums of money, which could be used to improve the lives of people which such ill-gotten gains were meant to serve.
She made the remarks on behalf of the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori Atta, at a “Stakeholder workshop to establish a framework for the implementation of Beneficial Ownership Disclosure Provisions in the amended Companies Act” in Accra.
The Hon. MP, said US$1.25 trillion is paid in bribes annually and that five percent of global annual GDP (about US$2.5 trillion) is lost through corruption. “Oxfam also indicates that poor countries lose up to US$170 billion yearly to tax evasion.” The amount, she said, could save the lives of almost 150 million children.
She said it was for this reason that Ghana has found it crucial to tackle transparency in Beneficial Ownership Disclosure (BOD). She noted that a series of workshops have been held and that the commitments and stakeholder discussions have led to the amendment of the Companies Act of 1963, to include BOD in December 2016 by Parliament.
Ghana, she said stands at a verge of actualizing its commitment owing to legislative backing for the establishment of the BOD regime in Ghana. She said the stakeholders workshop under the auspices of the Ghana Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (GHEITI) should be used to interrogate the practical implementation of issues Ghana may face by implementing a Beneficial Ownership register.
She mentioned the UK, as one of the few countries that has a considerable level of experience in implementing a BOD register. She applauded the UKAID and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development for the commitment to providing technical assistance to the Registrar General Department in preparing the necessary legislation, the development of the prototype register and the required form to undertake a pilot. | 2019-04-24T00:31:31 | http://www.geiti.gov.gh/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=234:press-release-stakeholder-workshop-on-beneficiary-ownership-disclosure-held&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=29 |
What I did today: drank Turkish coffee, spent many hours with one of my favorite aunts, saw an old friend from elementary school. It was a Sunday that stretched in the typical endless way of Sundays, and yet at some point I forgot what day of the week it is. I suppose travel can do that.
Tomorrow I’m going to see my old ladies. I wanted to go on Wednesday but they complained they might be dead by then. I suppose a flair for drama runs in the family.
Treasure your visit with the old ladies! They sound like a hoot. I’ve enjoyed your past blogs about them. | 2019-04-21T19:13:51 | https://havewatercolorswilltravel.blog/2018/06/03/sunday/ |
TUESDAY, Jan. 29, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Areas of the United States with high unemployment and few mental health services have higher rates of newborns who were exposed to opioids in the womb, a new study finds.
Researchers analyzed data on 6.3 million births between 2009 and 2015 in 580 counties in Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, Tennessee and Washington.
In counties with high, long-term unemployment, 20 of every 1,000 newborns were exposed to opioids in the womb (neonatal abstinence syndrome), the study found. That compared to 7.8 per 1,000 births in counties with the lowest unemployment.
The rate in counties with shortages of mental health workers was 14 cases per 1,000 births, compared with 1.6 cases per 1,000 births elsewhere.
There was no link between rates of neonatal abstinence syndrome and availability of health care providers, according to the study being published Jan. 30 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Nationwide, the rate of neonatal abstinence syndrome rose from 1.2 cases per 1,000 hospital births in 2000 to 8 per 1,000 births in 2014. On average in 2014, one infant was born every 15 minutes with neonatal abstinence syndrome.
The study is the first of its kind, according to the researchers at the RAND Corp. and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
"The finding should open our eyes to the social complexities that lead to newborns being treated for drug withdrawal in our nation's hospitals," lead author Dr. Stephen Patrick said in a RAND news release.
Patrick is director of the Vanderbilt Center for Child Health Policy in Nashville, Tenn.
"The opioid crisis is not just a health care problem, it is also a social problem, and solutions will need to address the social needs of communities as well as the health care needs," he added.
Senior study author Dr. Bradley Stein said researchers know that people with mental health problems are more likely to use or be dependent on opioids.
"Our findings suggest that until we can provide better access to effective mental health care, we face an uphill battle effectively addressing the opioid crisis," Stein said in the news release. Stein is director of RAND's Opioid Policy Center.

The Washington Marriott is defined by its large amount of convention and meeting space—although, guests would never know it from the small foyer. After walking through the lobby, guests reach the two-story center of the hotel and a maze of trendy seating areas; an escalator leads to the second floor, where 80 percent of the hotel’s space is taken up by banquet rooms.
While the lobby and its lounge areas have fun layouts, shapes, and prints, the second floor is a all professional. The hotel specializes in extravagant table settings, banquet cuisine, and the variety of event-room types—classroom, conference, meeting, or reception.
Guest rooms aren’t too spacious, but are contemporary, sleek, and functional.

12“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” 17But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. | 2019-04-24T12:33:11 | http://www.westmorelandsbc.com/1-corinthians-6 |

The Golf Foundation’s new Junior Golf Passport, endorsed by the Professional Golfers’ Association, is to be launched officially at The Golf Show in Harrogate.
During The Golf Show, the Foundation will be guests of event organisers the PGA, Foremost Golf and TGI Golf Partnership, and will be exhibiting the Junior Golf Passport to PGA Professionals, with 6,000-plus PGA members qualified to attend the event (8-10 October).
The Golf Foundation team will create a special presentation of the radically enhanced Junior Golf Passport on stand and as part of the seminar programme during the three-day show. The striking, colourful and easy-to-follow scheme is supported by a major new interactive website – www.juniorgolfpassport.org – designed to appeal to youngsters while offering PGA Professionals a significant coaching and business resource.
During the show, all PGA Professionals can register their interest in the Junior Golf Passport, which is expected to help retain many more youngsters in golf clubs; children who have been introduced to the game through school and community projects.
PGA Pros who opt to work with the Junior Golf Passport and who register for this in October can take advantage of a special offer introductory rate of £75 for the year. From November onwards the cost will be £100 for the year.
The Golf Foundation, the charity that makes golf and its benefits more accessible to youngsters from all backgrounds, worked closely with the PGA in the development of the Junior Golf Passport. The scheme is the official junior learning programme for the England Golf Partnership and Golf Development Wales.
Mike Round, Chief Executive for the Golf Foundation, said: “As we are launching an initiative that can be so beneficial to PGA Professionals, who are at the heart of their club’s coaching programme, we were delighted to be invited by The Golf Show organising team to present the new Junior Golf Passport in front of what is the perfect audience – so a huge thank you to The Golf Show team.
“We have been delighted with the feedback from PGA Professionals for the new Junior Golf Passport, which took the spirit of wanting to help youngsters to learn from its old paper-only predecessor, while significantly enhancing the whole learning package for the next generation of youngsters.
PGA Professionals not present at The Golf Show can register through www.juniorgolfpassport.org from 1st October.
“Designed by coaches for coaches”, the Junior Golf Passport features leading thinking from coaching Professionals and after a ‘soft launch’ in April, 110 PGA Pros were the first to use the new resource as part of their overall club coaching over the summer. 90% of those who responded to an initial feedback survey rated the new scheme as good or excellent and 85% gave the content an equally high rating. | 2019-04-19T00:30:34 | https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/management-topics/new-junior-golf-passport-official-launch-at-the-golf-show/ |
The mouse has become a mountain lion and she is ready to roar.
Penrith is no longer just a place the hordes pass through to visit that glamourpuss, Miss Blue Mountains and her Three Sisters.
Penrith has, for a long time now, been a destination in her own right.
During the past few decades many young families have turned off the Great Western Highway and set up house along the beautiful Nepean River. They wised up, realising that the great Australian dream was way more affordable out west. They settled down and had kids, and those kids, when they were little boys, played rugby league. Not only for Penrith, but for places such as St Marys, Windsor, Richmond and St Clare.
Now those little kids are the backbone of the mighty Penrith Panthers. They have grown up to become mountain men, and their families and friends who grew up with them, watched them, and nurtured them, are just as much a part of this grand final as the players themselves.
This grand final in particular has been a long time coming. In the 12 years since Greg Alexander led the Panthers to their first premiership, in 1991, Penrith has changed. It has gone from a working-class suburb clinging to the fringes of Sydney to being a vibrant community fuelled by hope, passion and a desperate drive to be respected.
But the success of the Penrith community was not always reflected in its football team. During that time it has not always been easy to be a Panthers fan.
Penrith have been my team since 1982, so it is not often moments like these come along. I chose them as my team as a nine-year-old kid devastated by the demise of the Newtown Jets. I cheered for the Jets because they were captained by my hero, Tommy Raudonikis. I didn't identify with Newtown itself - hell, I didn't even know where it was, but I idolised Raudonikis.
I didn't choose the Penny Panthers for any one particular player. It certainly had nothing to do with their colours - back then they were the chocolate soldiers with stripes in the distinctly unfashionable hues of poo brown and white. It was for me a matter of being proud of where I lived. I was born and raised in Windsor, so it made sense to cheer for a team that trained and played a few minutes' drive from home. Penrith was way closer to Windsor than Newtown, and as a result I spent many a Sunday afternoon at Penrith Park with my dad, cheering on my team.
They very rarely won back then, but I didn't care - I was at an age where a bucket of hot chips was a soothing balm to any hurt caused by a loss. By 1991 I did care, though, and I care again this weekend. While I no longer live in Windsor, my family still does and I still identify with the area. Growing up in the west makes you value the sense of community that comes with the struggle to make ends meet. There are no free rides out there, and anyone who succeeds has earned it.
That's what this football team represents - the struggle to succeed not so much against the odds, but against everything and everyone. A team that was the laughing stock of the league last year has got its act together. Yet despite some brilliant form, and the presence of excellent players, many rugby league experts are still not prepared to back Penrith for tomorrow's grand final.
And that is fantastic. The best way to get someone from the west to succeed at something is to tell them they can't.
Back in '91 after the Panthers' historic grand final win, Royce Simmons pledged to have a beer with everyone in Penrith. I bet Craig Gower would repeat the feat if Penrith win tomorrow.
Somehow, having a beer with everyone in Penrith sounds so much more real than having a latte with everyone in Bondi. | 2019-04-24T13:08:00 | https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/adversity-brings-out-penrith-spirit-20031004-gdhiuc.html |

Vasileios Pappas does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.
Greece and its creditors remain locked in a heated debate over how its debt should be financed. The newly elected Syriza government need to renegotiate their current bailout programme, in order to carry out their proposals to repeal austerity and re-invest in public services.
Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis’s strategy for doing this is to swap the outstanding Greek debt for bonds linked to growth. So far he has been rejected by Greece’s German creditors who are, naturally, keen to ensure they are paid back in full. But perhaps there is another way.
Varoufakis’s proposal recognises that Greece’s problem is one of insolvency, not liquidity. To distinguish these two concepts let us imagine a car with that is leaking oil. Naturally the driver would have to keep refilling to be able to cover even a small distance but no matter how much oil you put the leak will be there as a different approach is required. This is insolvency. To pretend it is a liquidity issue is like trying to argue that the leak would have been fixed had we put more oil in the engine. And so Varoufakis aims to direct and relate the external financing of Greece’s debt to some well-defined business outcome.
A resemblance of products and practices of Islamic finance is apparent in Varoufakis’s debt swap suggestion. The “no money for money” principle followed by Islamic banks entitles the investor to a profit share only when sharing the business risk. In this way the economic burden of a fixed interest rate, which is not linked to the business outcome, is reduced.
Plus, the risk is not assumed by the bank; it is passed directly to the investors who have exchanged their contractually fixed interest rate for a profit share. In other words an Islamic bank can avoid profit distribution to its investors if the banks’ business ventures have not been profitable. Islamic banks operating along these principles have demonstrated greater resilience to the recent financial crisis, higher profitability and capitalisation compared to the debt-based conventional banks.
In the current situation, Greece may be thought of as the bank, the EU taxpayers would be the investors, while the business venture is Greece’s recovery. Shifting Greece’s debt to Islamic bonds linked to growth would alleviate the pressure of meeting with the next debt repayments as these become due.
This would enable the government to change the orientation of its policies from the short-term to the medium- or even long-term. In practice, this could mean less austerity for the already heavily burdened Greek employees, but more flexibility and determination to fight the bureaucracy, tax evasion, trade unions and corruption that are the reasons for Greece’s insolvency.
Why would the rest of Europe want such a deal? In the past few weeks we have observed a confrontational stance between Greek officials and various members of its international creditors.
What, however, may not have been accounted for in Varoufakis’s debt swap proposal is that these members would need to be present on a more permanent basis to ensure that the Greek program stays on track (and reduce any moral hazard issues). Greece would therefore be tying itself to a constant monitoring by the technocrats from the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund. They may, however, be able to work with the politicians towards a common goal.
The other benefit of swapping the current debt (even in part) with growth linked bonds would be a vote of confidence to the Greek efforts in staying part of an EU that is supportive of all its members and aspires in persisting as a union. Otherwise, speculation on a Spanish or Italian exit may follow suit. | 2019-04-22T08:41:27 | http://theconversation.com/lessons-from-islamic-finance-for-a-greek-debt-swap-deal-37490 |
There’s a good chance you won’t see them.
Throughout my stay, I went on a total of three aurora borealis sightseeing tours and I only really saw them on the last night. So if my trip had ended one night earlier, I would have gone home greatly disappointed. On the first tour, in the city of Akureyri, we drove for 3 hours trying to chase down a bit of clear sky. The lights were so strong that you could see the colorful movement through the clouds, but unfortunately the clouds never parted. On the second tour, out of Reykjavik, we once again drove far outside of the city to avoid city lights but the elusive aurora did not show itself. Finally, on the last night, the sky was clear and the aurora was active. So adjust your expectations to avoid disappointment. And make sure you have other things you’re excited to see and do in Iceland, or anywhere else you might visit to try to catch a glimpse of the lights for that matter.
While there is no way to guarantee seeing the northern lights (unless you move to Iceland), there are certainly ways to improve your chances. First, you should time your trip to coincide with the best time of year to see them. In order for the lights to be visible there has to be absolute darkness. Because of Iceland’s location, in the summer, there is daylight almost all day, with just 3 to 5 hours of darkness a night. You’ll want to go from September to April, to have the best chance of seeing them because during those months there are more hours of darkness per day.
Another thing to take into account is the weather. Like I found out, it does you no good to have bright northern lights if they’re hiding behind clouds. Take a look at the weather forecast during your trip, and pick the days that will give you the best chance of actually seeing them. Rain, snow, or cloudiness are all going to prevent you from experiencing the lights even if they’re particularly strong. You should also take a look at the aurora forecast, which will give you a forecast on a scale of 1 to 9 for how likely it is that they will be visible depending on the strength of the effect and the forecast weather.
Despite having a 33% success rate on my tours, I definitely recommend having a guide to the northern lights. First, because unless you happen to live in Alaska (in which case, you really don’t have to go anywhere to see the northern lights), you probably won’t be very familiar with driving in potentially heavily snow-covered roads. But aside from that, the guides of northern lights tours do this all the time; they know the best places to go to get away from city lights and more importantly, they’re in communication with each other. So if another guide has spotted them elsewhere, they’ll give everyone else a heads up. The Icelandic people are awesome like that. They will also give you hot chocolate to keep you warm outside. You will need it.
As a passionate traveler, I feel like it’s also my duty to mention that if you don’t see them, you shouldn’t take it out on your guides. The Icelandic people are extremely kind, welcoming, and interesting. Both tour companies I used offered a free second night tour if we didn’t see the lights on the first night. But they are not God and this is not Disney. Don’t go on a tour expecting to see them and don’t be rude and disrespectful to the people who tried to make that happen by complaining or mocking them. Because you sound like an obnoxious jackass when you do that and it’s annoying to both the guides and the other people on the tour.
Even if you have a DSLR camera, if you only know how to use it in automatic mode, you will not get pictures of it. If you have a smart phone, you will definitely not get any pictures of it. Without getting too technical, in order to get good photos, you will need a high aperture, high ISO, and long exposure time. The aperture is how wide the lens open to determine how much light to allow into the camera. On your DSLR, that will be the f-number. A lower f-number (2.8 or lower) will allow in more light. If you set your camera to 2.8 on a regular sunny day, the picture will be extremely bright, even completely white. But when you’re photographing the lights and it’s very dark, you want the aperture to be very wide to allow you to capture the low light available.
The ISO on a camera is the sensitivity to light. When you’re shooting in bright light, you would probably use an ISO of 100 to 200. But on a dark night in Iceland, you want your ISO to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 800, which requires less light. Don’t be tempted to use the highest ISO setting as it might create grain in your photos. For these purposes, you should be okay in the neighborhood of 800.
Finally, the single most important factor is exposure time. With a standard DSLR camera, you can take photos with a shutter speed as fast as a fraction of a second and as slow as several seconds. To get a great photo of the northern lights, you need to set the shutter speed between 20-40 seconds. What this does is take a 20-40 second photo capturing the movement of the aurora in one picture. This is also why you need a tripod. If you try to hold a camera that long, especially in that freezing cold, you will end up with a blurry photo. The best photos of the lights include part of the horizon which should be sharp in contrast to the lights which will appear whispy and curtain-like.
Since your iPhone doesn’t have the kind of settings to allow you to take these photos, don’t waste your time trying. You will only end up frustrated and with dozens of dark pictures. Similarly, the lights don’t film well, which is why “videos” of the lights are usually in time-lapse, made up of thousands of individual pictures.
The northern lights are a completely unique phenomenon in that it’s impossible to capture them in photos or video the way they look in person. Because the only way to see them in photos is to take a long exposure shot, the photos you see of them can be brighter and make the aurora seem more dense than it actually is in person. In person, the lights are extremely transparent. In photos, they will look more opaque as though they’re “thicker.” Obviously, no photo or time-lapse in the world can capture the sensation of seeing the way they move, which is why it’s truly a phenomenon to behold. But don’t be disappointed if they are not as colorful or intense as you’ve seen them in photos.

The Dueling Bandits Problem is an online learning framework in which actions are restricted to noisy comparisons between pairs of strategies (also known as bandits). It models settings where absolute rewards are difficult to elicit but pairwise preferences are readily available. In this paper, we extend the Dueling Bandits Problem to a relaxed setting where preference magnitudes can violate transitivity. We present the first algorithm for this more general Dueling Bandits Problem and provide theoretical guarantees in both the online and the PAC settings. Furthermore, we show that the new algorithm has stronger guarantees than existing results even in the original Dueling Bandits Problem, which we validate empirically. | 2019-04-21T06:38:39 | http://techtalks.tv/talks/beat-the-mean-bandit/54282/ |

I'd just like to say how impressed I was with Ameira as well as the lady, who may have been Imogen, on the phone when I called late on 8th September. She was very helpful, friendly and patient. She suggested Ameira after we'd chatted about the type of lady I was looking for. Ameira arrived and immediately made me feel at ease. With her very sweet nature, polite attitude and general kindness made my booking wonderful. I very much look forward to meeting her again. | 2019-04-21T14:12:41 | http://www.bed-dominationescorts.com/gallery/miss-ameira |

for this recipe but you can as well use Baltic herrings or matjes fillets. Sahnehering is as well known as Heringsstipp was known in the 19th century as poor people's food but when the German chancellor Otto Graf Bismarck developed a liking for Herring it became quite popular especially in northern Germany and the Rhineland where it is often enjoyed on days of fasting like Good Friday for example. The dish is traditionally served with Pellkartoffeln / jacket potatoes that are peeled just before the meal.
This recipe was inspired by Heinzelfrau. You can find her recipe in German language here.
Boil potatoes with their skins till they are done. Depending on their size this should take about 25 to 30 minutes. After 25 minutes take a sharp knife and check the largest potato. Prick it with the knife, if it pushes easily through the whole potato they are done and you can take them of the heat.
We usually finish all the herring and potatoes in no time. So be warned once you got the taste for it there is no way back :-) ! | 2019-04-23T12:05:08 | https://www.lookingatcooking.com/Sahnehering.html |
Congratulations to my gnephew, Brandon for receiving his Masters in Taxation degree and being hooded at Baylor University. Here is a picture of two of the four family hoods. We will see if we can obtain a photo of the other two family hoods – the MSW and the J.D. Nine degrees of book learning among the four of us and we can barely recognize a hammer, let alone use one.
After the graduation and hooding ceremony some of the family members went to The Waco Hilton to toast Brandon with a glass of champagne. I am so glad I went because Girlfriends, I found us some dates. That’s right I got one for me and there are some for you, in fact probably a tribe of them, right from a bar in Waco, Texas. I believe these men were from the First Barbarian Church of the Visigoths out on a Saturday doing the church visitations before the evening raids.
The man in the droopy jeans, T-shirt and blue piss pot (Aggie term) on his head holding a long pole is Captain America. Not exactly how I envisioned Captain America, but then again, I never envisioned America this way either.
Next girl trip to Waco we shall meet at the Waco Hilton. Sign up now before the Viking ship sails the up the Brazos. | 2019-04-24T14:54:37 | https://drdrd85.me/2018/08/14/tuesday-august-14-2019-the-family-hoods-and-vikings/ |

So here we are in the new year, with our lists of resolutions. It’s hard to make small changes, much less large-scale changes that alter the entire landscape of one’s life.
Shane Niemeyer at his 2003 booking in Boise.
Trawling my Gmail inbox for a good story I happened across the one about how the addict who tried to hang himself in an Idaho jail failed to do the job thoroughly and wound up alive after all. (A number of us know how that feels; I don’t, exactly, but a number of us do.) While recuperating in a straitjacket he found some magazine stories about triathletes. He turned the pages with his feet and decided that if killing himself hadn’t worked, he’d—well—he’d become a triathlete.
Recovering heroin addict Shane Niemeyer running his first Ironman World Championship race in Kona, Hawaii.
That was seven years ago. He just completed the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.
I don’t want to be a triathlete, but I have made it a goal this year to test my strength. So two days ago I started an exercise regimen. The regimen calls for me to exercise six days per week for at least an hour per day. It also calls for an initial nutrition plan of 50 percent protein, 30 percent carbs and 20 percent fat. Which is a lot more protein and a LOT less carb than I’m used to eating.
Psychologically, I am a wuss.
How do I know this?—because when I couldn’t do what I needed to do, as hard as it was being demonstrated to me, as fast and as many times as it was being demonstrated (perfectly, in other words), I wanted to quit. I needed to quit. I needed to hide my face even from myself.
When I couldn’t do even ONE of this particular exercise (I crashed on my forehead, from a very short distance), I almost gave up my resolve to do the entire program. How’s that for extremist, black-and-white, if-I-can’t-have-it-now-I-won’t-have-it-at-all thinking.
Jesus God, I am so tired of having sponsors/coaches/therapists/other borrowed or paid shamans tell me I have to Do Time. Time In Grade, my sponsor says. When does the freebie come.
Not me, mate! My motivation derives from being in front at the off. … Pffff.
What the hell makes you think YOU can handle those college kids?
Poor mum. What that was about, I can see now, was: SHE wanted to be able to teach the college kids. But it wrecked my confidence. I allowed it to. I was 24; the kids, some of them, were 20. For a long time, when I’d walk through the door of a classroom, I’d hear those words in my mind.
Amends, I can see now, are not always about going back to a grave site and reading a letter. They’re sometimes about kicking somebody else out of your head-space.
I passed one year sober the other day. I’ve got more than two years working the 12 steps to stay clean and sober, and compared to One Year, 90 days looks like small time. Angela told me she used to say to herself that she could do anything for 90 days. Well, I know I can, and that’s not bravado. I mean, I’m used to putting myself on a five-minute basis of not using. I’m used to Going To Any Lengths.
I’m sore as hell. I’m used to being sore. I actually even like being sore. I just don’t like Not Being Able To Do What I’m Told To Do. If I need to go to any lengths, and I can’t, then how do I get better?
I guess I just show up and try again. Welcome to the human race.
It took Shane Niemeyer seven years to get to the world championship in Kona.
Haven’t bought a pull-up bar yet. But I will.
love this post! especially about kicking someone out of your headspace!
Very motivational – great for the beginning of a new year and a new decade. Thanks.
Awesome G. You go for it. You will be doing those pull ups soon enough.
G – sometimes it helps to take a class, or exercise with someone else – to keep you motivated. And then, there’s the flip side of the coin. I’m worried that my daughter, Hayley, who has been clean and sober since last May (from heroin/crack cocaine addiction – plus, anything else she could get her hands on), has substituted exercise as her “drug of choice”. I’m going to post about this soon.
I can totally relate to this post, both because I’ve never been able to do a pull-up and because I want to be out in front of the pack from the get-go too. I’ve recently started doing yoga again and have to continually remind myself to stay grounded in the process, rather than starting out as a revered yogi. Thanks for the funny post! | 2019-04-26T11:39:11 | http://guineveregetssober.com/finding-out-i-am-a-pussy/ |
Another day, another show! This time a trip to see Bizarre Love Triangle, a verbatim play about OCD that is being shown as part of Brain Awareness Week. I must admit OCD is a subject quite close to my heart, as a couple of my friends suffer from it, as did an ex-flatmate, and if you’ve ever seen it up close, you realise fast it’s far more than just ‘being tidy’.
The play was sensitive, often surprisingly funny and handled the subject with care, though the ending came so abruptly I was left a little surprised that it was over. (God knows, it’s not often I think something should be longer, but it definitely could have done with more of an actual ‘ending’.) Read my full review here.
Bravo to Northern Stage for putting on such a small but important show (and hosting a discussion afterwards).
It’s been a week of jaunts this week – after Edinburgh on Monday, came a trip to York that I booked without realising they would fall in the space of a few days, to see the first production by Emma Rice’s new theatre company, Wise Children.
I’ve long been a fan of Emma Rice. I love Kneehigh, and although I didn’t catch much of her stint at the Globe, what I did see I really liked. I admit I was disappointed when I heard that the company would be using the Old Vic for its London base – this is a theatre that I have long avoided, having fallen out of love with it for various reasons, all of which I admit are personal (and perhaps a bit irrational).
But to my mind, it tends to be overly expensive, most of its productions are too long, and their lack of decent toilets means you stand a very good chance of missing the first 10 minutes of the second half either because you are stuck in a queue, or your view is obscured by people returning to their seats for the same reason (and this is even before you even consider the queasy, hard-to-shake taint that Kevin Spacey’s uncovered antics have tarred the place with). There are a ton of great venues in London and no such thing as an unmissable production – there’s usually half a dozen ‘unmissable’ shows on at any one time, and unless you are a full-time critic, you can’t possibly catch them all – and I decided a while back I wasn’t giving my money to any venue where I felt so ill-served. So I sadly resigned myself to just not seeing any more Emma Rice shows for a while.
Moving to Newcastle, though, has actually opened up my theatre-going in exciting new ways. Edinburgh is 90 minutes away, York just over an hour – and the economics of regional theatre mean the cost of excellent dress circle tickets (in a theatre small enough where that means I was closer to the stage than I would have been in most London venues) AND return train tickets came to roughly the same as the Old Vic is charging for most stall seats for its current productions.
Unfortunately, the weather gods had used up their benevolence on me with a lovely day on Monday, so I didn’t see York at its best, but even rain and grey it’s a beautiful city. The theatre was a short walk from the station, and it’s a lovely space: a bar / bistro space downstairs that caters to any comers so was a bit rammed for my tastes, though upstairs was a little calmer, and the staff were efficient and friendly. My seat – front row dress circle – was great, and I was seated next to a pleasant couple with whom I had a nice chat in the interval.
And toilets! My god, toilets! I will never stop banging on about the need for good toilets in theatres: it’s an accessibility issue for anyone elderly, pregnant, on their period or with bladder/digestive issues, and too many theatres are bloody terrible. These were plentiful – pretty sure there were more women’s toilets in the dress circle alone than in the Donmar, Old Vic and Almeida added together – and kept clean. I’d go back to the place on that reason alone.
As a fan of the book that both play and company were named after, my expectations were high but the play (mostly) matched them. It balanced the trademark Emma Rice playfulness and theatricality – fourth wall breaking, gender/race-blind casting, bawdy humour, music and physical theatre – with the spirit of Carter’s novel, and when Rice came out at the curtain call (the show was being filmed by the BBC, which is possibly why she was there for an afternoon matinee), many of the audience were on their feet.
My travel wasn’t quite as smooth as I hoped city hopping would be – my train was a bit delayed by a cancelled service – but the trip was my no means onerous, and definitely one I would make again if something that struck my fancy.
Another theatre trip this week, to a play I have been dying to see – Beth Steel’s mining drama, Wonderland. This is the third ‘heavy industry’ play I have seen at Northern Stage – the others being The Last Ship and The Last Seam: you can guess the theme from the title.
Wonderland covers much the same ground: the miners’ strike, and the effect it had on its community. It took me a while to get into it – the first half was overlong – but it grew into a piece of real power, and I’m glad I got a chance to see it. | 2019-04-20T08:24:48 | https://prodigalgeordie.blog/tag/theatre/page/2/ |
Based on Christian business values, I have 19 years safari hunting experience in Namibia. I’ve hunted plains game and leopard, with big game for the last 7 years. As a guide, I have worked for outfitters and done freelance hunting all over the country. I know the game, and I know Namibia.
Now that I am an outfitter and a professional hunter, I want to give you the ultimate hunting experience and the excitement of hunting animals in Africa.
You can choose from my hunting areas in most parts of Namibia: north-east, south, or west. The majority of hunting is done in the west, about two and a half hour’s drive from Windhoek.
Hunting is done by walking and fair chase. Leopard hunting is mostly done by baiting and waiting in the blind. Most of the hunting trips are done by myself, preferably 2 to 3 hunters at a time.
I particularly enjoy introducing people to hunting for the first time. Often the wives or children of a safari hunter will be interested in trying hunting themselves, and it is a pleasure for me to help them. | 2019-04-21T02:29:05 | http://gertvanderwaltsafaris.com/ |

To establish any space, you need boundaries. But, that doesn’t mean that the boundaries have to be uninteresting. One go-to strategy for this in an outdoor living space is the reliable fence.
Even here, you don’t have to accept what you’re given. You can add flair, subtle or otherwise, to a fence in the same way you can with any other element in your outdoor living area.
Well, here are five ideas from guest writer Justin Krutz.
Adding a new fence to your yard doesn’t merely have to be for security, privacy or to keep children and pets safe and sound in your yard. A fence can be a great stylish addition to your yard and instantly boost your curb appeal. Fencing offers an almost unlimited variety of materials and styles to choose from, allowing you to design a fence that suits your specific needs and wants, rather than merely choosing an “off-the-rack” option that may not fit in with the look of your home and yard.
Got a green thumb and want to add more plants to your yard? Create a living fence in your yard. For homeowners with time and patience, a row of small fruit trees could be espaliered into a natural barrier that is both beautiful and functional. Other options including planting privet or other shrubs that can be pruned into neat hedges.
If you already have a fence in place – adding climbing vines to the fence can make even a plain-looking fence look nice once the vines are established. Finally, you might try mounting pots on the posts of an existing fence and planting flowers that complement the color of your fence.
Most fences tend to use one material (iron, wood, vinyl, etc.) for the bulk of the structure, but combining different materials for your fence design can produce a very unique and attractive look. For instance, you might utilize a metal fence frame and inset decorative wooden panels into the frame that can be solid or latticed or build a wooden split-rail fence which utilizes stone or brick for the posts.
If you have a solid wooden privacy fence on your property that you want to repaint – why not use it as the basis for a mural? If you’re the artistic type or know someone who is, the fence could be repainted with a decorative pattern, a landscape or anything you can imagine that you’d like to display to the world.
Alternately, another very simple touch that you can update as you like: get some large ceramic tiles and mount them on the fence at intervals or in a pattern of your choice, then paint a design on each tile.
Especially in the warm months, you’ll probably be using your yard a lot more during the evenings. Why not add some stylish lighting to the posts? A variety of attractive low-voltage or solar-powered light fixtures are available for your fence – add a touch of flair to them by using a colored LED during the holiday season or for special occasions.
Recycled or reused materials can lend themselves to an unusual but attractive fence design. Reclaim debris from other home improvement projects or ask friends and family if they have anything they want to get rid of. For example, an old wooden porch railing could be stained and used as a decorative fence for the front yard or steel rebar could be welded into an ornamental metal fence.
Justin Krutz writes about a variety of home improvement-related topics for GSM Garage Doors, a Southern California-based company which offers a variety of services including fence design and garage door maintenance to homeowners. | 2019-04-26T14:01:19 | https://www.builddirect.com/blog/stylish-fencing-5-artful-fence-ideas-for-outdoor-living/ |

Foreign policy has not featured heavily in the political debates so far, but it does represent a key area of fault lines among the parties contesting the 2015 general election, says James Strong. With a high probability of a hung parliament, we can expect three issues to have a significant impact on coalition negotiations: overall defence spending, the Trident nuclear deterrent and the question of an EU referendum.
On one level the initial build-up to the 2015 general election has involved limited discussion of foreign policy and foreign policy issues. To a degree this reflects the traditional consensus among the major political parties on Britain’s external objectives. To a degree, also, it reflects the fact that voters typically do not vote according to the foreign policy options parties put forward.
Lurking behind this apparent lack of interest, however, are three key areas where policy disagreements between the parties offer the possibility of substantially different future foreign policy paths.
The first is the overall level of government spending. The recent flurry of headlines about Britain’s declining willingness to play its proper part in the world, at least as seen through American eyes, reflects the fact that defence spending is falling as a share of the budget just as the budget is falling as a share of GDP. For many years Britain has shown leadership within NATO by actually meeting the commitment all members make to spending at least 2 per cent of GDP on defence. With GDP growing and spending continuing to fall, recent projections indicate it will fairly soon cease to meet that target.
No party proposes to ring-fence defence spending. But the Conservatives have made a number of commitments, most recently in David Cameron’s speech to the NATO summit in Wales, that suggest a future Conservative-led government would be willing at least in principle to increase defence spending in real terms. Cameron committed, for example, to bringing both Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers into service, reversing the decision at the time of the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review that one would be sold or mothballed upon completion. Labour has traditionally seen defence as a lower priority than domestic spending, and seems unlikely to match Conservative plans in this area, especially as its commitments in other areas would force any such spending to come from already hard-pressed budgets. This could in turn place the (thus far ring-fenced) foreign aid budget under threat, risking an area, unlike international security, in which Britain actually is a leading power.
The second is the question of the UK’s nuclear deterrent, artfully kicked down the road by the coalition agreement in deference to the Liberal Democrats’ long-standing issues with it. The ‘main gate’, the point of no return in terms of a decision about replacing the ageing Trident system, will be reached early in 2016. Both Labour and the Conservatives favour retaining the deterrent, though Labour is willing to countenance a cheaper, pared-down option. Public opinion, as highlighted by a recent Chatham House-YouGov study, favours saving money but prefers to keep the nuclear option alive.
But the SNP strongly opposes nuclear weapons, and the SNP seems set to be the third largest party in the House of Commons after the election. If Labour wants to govern in coalition with the SNP it may have to give up Trident. If it pursues only a ‘confidence and supply’ arrangement, by which SNP votes keep a minority government (possibly including the remaining Liberal Democrats) alive without supporting its overall programme, Trident might survive – the Conservatives would still vote to renew it, and Nicola Sturgeon does not regard it as a deal breaker. Expect the question to play a big part in coalition negotiations and to form the centrepiece of a renewed debate over national security after the election.
The final area is, of course, Britain’s place in the EU. The public is split on the virtues of EU membership. The Chatham House-YouGov study found 40 per cent of respondents would vote to retain it, 39 per cent to give it up. The major political parties are split, too, especially the Conservatives. With UKIP likely to retain the two seats it gained in the House of Commons through defections in 2014, and to win at least one more through Nigel Farage’s bid for office in South Thanet, it remains unlikely to hold the balance of power. What it will do, however, is shape the terms of the debate on the EU specifically and on the broader, related, issue of immigration. Nigel Farage has already proven himself an accomplished debater. He will make some hay in the leaders’ debate. UKIP has already forced the Conservative leadership to give in to its own Eurosceptic wing and promise a referendum on EU membership in the next parliament.
Questions about the EU (and the related issue of immigration) absolutely will feature during the election campaign. And they will be central to any coalition negotiations. Labour has not promised to hold a referendum on EU membership during the next parliament. But it has promised that any new EU treaty would be put to a vote. This might be anathema to the pro-EU SNP. And there would be a question mark over which way the Liberal Democrats might go on the issue. They were early supporters of the idea of a straight in-out referendum, believing (as Cameron does himself) that Britain would vote to remain in. But they were burned by the failed campaign to change the voting system in 2011. No leader, meanwhile, will be complacent after the shock delivered by the unexpectedly close Scottish independence vote last year.
Foreign policy, in other words, represents a key area of fault lines among the parties contesting the 2015 general election. It has not featured heavily in some of the debates so far, but the question of EU membership in particular will come to the fore as UKIP gets its campaign into gear. After the election, meanwhile, we can expect each of these three issues to have a significant impact on coalition negotiations. Will Labour give up Trident to woo the SNP? What will the Conservatives cut to finance a boost in defence spending? Who will shape the next Strategic Defence and Security Review, and how far will the process be affected by coalition politicking? A great deal remains to be seen. The answers to these questions will shape Britain’s foreign policy stance for a generation.

A nourishing after school snack or the perfect side to burger night, these baked sweet potato zucchini tots are happily devoured by even the pickiest eaters. And the creamy ketchup... oh my starzies, so good!
Initially the idea of making my own tots seemed daunting.
But they're actually really easy, and I love knowing exactly what’s in them, the fact that I can pronounce everything, and that I don’t have to include any preservatives… why? because every bite is devoured instantly!
I peel and then microwave my sweet potato to save time; but you can bake yours for 45 minutes if you prefer. The trick is to get it mostly cooked, but not too soft. Because after cooking, you need to grate the sweet potato. And if it’s too mushy it won’t work.
You also grate the zucchini and then squeeze out the extra “juice”/water so that the tots will hold together better. A tablespoon of coconut flour helps bind everything. Once all the ingredients are combined, use your fingers to shape them into little cylinders. They don’t have to be perfect, but getting a consistent shape is nice and helps them cook evenly.
Aren't these little tots all lined up the cutest?
Evidently I'm on an orange colored kick these days... because all of my recent recipes have been orange! Maybe my body is trying to tell me something!!
Peel sweet potato and microwave on high for 3.5 - 4 minutes. (alternatively, you can bake a peeled sweet potato for 45 minutes instead). Let sweet potato cool for a few minutes so that you can safely handle it.
Using a medium to large grater, grate the sweet potato... adding it to a medium mixing bowl.
Then peel and grate the zucchini either over a thick paper towel or a tea towel. Once grated, squeeze out the excess "juice"/water from the zucchini.
Then add the remaining ingredients into the mixing bowl with the sweet potato: grated zucchini, parmesan cheese, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and flour. Mix well, even using your hands to press and squeeze and make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
Bake for 20 minutes. Then, flip them over. Then bake for another 15 - 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
Combine the Greek yogurt and ketchup to make the dipping sauce.
Serve tots hot / immediately with the sauce. | 2019-04-25T02:29:42 | https://noshandnourish.com/content/sweet-potato-zucchini-tots-creamy-ketchup |
Education Code 48206.3 states that a student with a temporary disability, which makes school attendance impossible or inadvisable, shall receive individual instruction in the student’s home or in a hospital or other residential health facility within the district boundaries.
The purpose of the Home/Hospital Teaching program is to support the student in maintaining a continuity of instruction during the absence from the regular school program. The Home/Hospital Teaching instructor provides instruction when practicable and will consult with the student’s current teacher(s) to enable the student to keep up with the regular school program. Every effort will be made to maintain continuity in the course of study for each class or subject area; however, junior high and high school students will not be provided with subject area specialists for every class being taught, i.e. elective courses.
Students approved for the Home/Hospital Teaching program will begin receiving services when all appropriate paperwork has been submitted, reviewed, approved, and a teacher is assigned to work with the student. Home/Hospital Teaching instruction is one (1) hour per day corresponding to the regular school calendar. The maximum amount of time per week is not to exceed five (5) hours, Monday thru Friday. One hour of Home/Hospital Teaching instruction equates to one day of school for attendance purposes and Home/Hospital Teaching instruction must occur in the presence of a parent/guardian at all times. The Home/Hospital Teaching sessions should be scheduled with a sense of full cooperation between the parent and the instructor at times which are conducive to quality instruction and do not overlap with the teacher’s contractual workday (when applicable).
Home/Hospital Teaching enrollment automatically terminates at the conclusion of each school year. If there is a need to continue Home/Hospital Teaching services into the next corresponding school year, the parent/guardian must reapply on behalf of the student. Home/Hospital Teaching services are not provided during the summer with the exception of Extended School Year (ESY) for students receiving services through an IEP. Home/Hospital Teaching services during ESY are administered on the same basis as the regular school year for one (1) hour daily corresponding with the scheduled duration of summer school.
Upon completion of Home/Hospital Teaching instruction, the teacher will provide a progress report or report card depending on the time of the school year. The district reserves the right to cancel participation in the Home Teaching instructional program at any time if it is determined the student is not benefiting from the program or if the conditions in which instruction is provided are not conducive to learning.
For more information on the enrollment procedures, grading guidelines, timelines and assessments; please view the Home/Hospital Teaching program handbook in the files below. | 2019-04-18T20:43:46 | https://www.nlmusd.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1125868&type=d&pREC_ID=1459920 |
To become the best soccer player around, you must play each day and continue to grow better through practice. This article will talk about how you can improve your game. Keep reading for some proven advice on becoming a better player.
You need to stay alert even after you have passed the ball. You may want to follow the receiver and search for a way to help. A good team member will pass it to you if you’re open.
Trick defenders by dribbling away from your intended direction. They’ll follow you in that direction and you will throw them off when you go the opposite way. This is a great way to get past an opponent.
TIP! Always look for times to practice. Keep your soccer with you at all times.
Soccer is a sport played by a team. Make sure that you understand this. Playing for your own glory is a recipe for disaster, particularly for your teammates. You have to play with the team in mind. When you sacrifice your personal recognition, you help the entire team win.
Few players know how to control lofted balls. Pass low to ensure defenders can’t interfere. If you need to send the ball far down the field, that’s when the long pass comes into play.
TIP! Trick defenders by dribbling away from your intended direction. When they follow you, you can create an element of surprise by swiftly changing direction and then heading back the other way.
To earn a spot on the soccer team, make sure your competitive spirit shows. Don’t ever give up, run with vigor, help out your teammates and inspire others. Showing the coach that you are devoted to your team and the game can increase your chances of getting picked.
TIP! Know that soccer is based on teamwork. This must never be forgotten.
When you have the soccer ball and a player is coming your way, pretend that you’re passing the ball to another player. This should cause them to pause momentarily, which will give you a few extra seconds to decide what you want to do. This tactic works even better if you exaggerate your movements.
To improve the likelihood of getting a score during a penalty kick, practice kicking at the end of your session. This will help train your brain to zone in on the penalty kick following a foul. Learn to approach the ball from different angles and try sending it to different areas of the field with accuracy.
Try to play soccer inside instead of outside. If you play inside, the field is going to be smaller. It can help you work on making decisions faster and better ball handling. When outdoors, this will be noticeable and your skills will be even more beneficial for the team.
TIP! If you find yourself in the middle of the field, pay attention to what happens on both ends. Remain prepared as a ball can come suddenly at you from your left or right, and you might then need to pass it quickly to the opposite side.
Soccer may not be as rough as football, but it still includes a lot of physical activity. Don’t be hesitant to make some contact. Just because you get a little physical does not mean you are playing dirty. Understand that actually aiming to kick an opponent is playing dirty; however, contact alone is not. You will have to get past your fear of being physical. Keep your legs safe using shin guards.
Nothing is more important in soccer than communication between teammates. Don’t overlook this potent weapon. If you seen an opening, make sure that the player with the ball knows it too. Know the terms to yell so that you and your teammate both understand what to do. For example, yelling “through” to your teammate will inform him that you intend to run between two defenders so you can receive a pass from him.
TIP! While individual goals are important when playing soccer, always remember the goals of the team. In order to be a great soccer team, everyone on it must be good, and not just the individual who scores all the goals.
You need to invest in quality shoes so you can have a firm grip even while playing on a muddy field. Soccer pros like softer, removable cleats when playing in these conditions. Choose a wide cleat for wet or muddy conditions. In this type of situation two cleats are placed on the heel and four are placed in the midsole.
Keep this advice in mind to become better at soccer. It’s great fun to play soccer. To take advantage of what you are learning you have to be committed and dedicated to practice. Never stop learning and improving. | 2019-04-20T22:55:48 | http://visasatsport.com/sport/soccer/desperate-for-soccer-advice-this-is-for-you/ |
i'm sitting here in a coffee shop, listening in on parts of talks of grace & the gospel. the movement of people in and out the door and the clattoring of dishes with a faint sound of Mumford & Sons in the background behind the background. i'm not much for coffee, but i do love the shops.
nowadays, i continue learning the exact same things that i was a week ago. a month ago. a year ago. strange, but my pride never imagined i would still be on my knees pleading for more and more grace...pleading for a heart that says with joy, "yet not as i will but as you will, Lord." asking for more and more mercy. more and more trust + thankfulness instead of anxiousness. i didn't imagine a lot of things, for that matter. fickle, fickle, heart! the nights where my soul is anchored down feeling lonely haven't gone away. the days where i come continually with empty hands, wrecked by my unworthiness and selfishness, realizing that i can't do it, that only Jesus can, haven't stopped.
the days ahead scream with uncertainty, and frankly, it scares me. i wish it didn't. my flesh desires worry instead of resting in the sufficiency and sovereignty He promises. it's sin, not the cross to which i should cling. instead of asking for wisdom, I doubt and waiver. hypocrite and double-minded, i am! how easy it is to have joy and trust Him when the times are grand and good. but when the sun goes away and the times become darker, you see how trust and counting the trials a joy are are continual battles, i think.
surrender. this is what Jesus is teaching me. surrendering my longings and anxiousness (philippians 4:6 has been wonderful); the things i grasp and hold on to. the joys of this life are so fleeting, so temporary, yet i still cling, hoping they'll fulfill. i'm seeing how wrong i am and how sinful and foolish this is as I read philippians 3:8. how often i fall short & despair! BUT how good it is that i'm forgiven over and over because of Jesus (Just read Romans 8 or Ephesians 2). i'm learning, once again, how my circumstances are no mistake (because my times are in His hands, thus, He is sovereign) + for my good ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE (see romans 8:28), not mine.
i'm realizing how every day is being used to transform me more and more like Him and it's producing a comfort as i run into the arms of my Savior, and also, a steadfastness. i'm learning, that yes, He is enough. there's comfort and rest in that. praise Him that the same grace that has carried me here is the same grace that will carry me home (just read Isaiah 40). praise Him that there's certainty in the uncertainty & praise him for coffee shops.
• There’s a sweetness in brokenness and hurt that sends you fleeing to the Savior.
• If you’re feeling awkward, try to change that. Get uncomfortable and be somewhat social, whether it is by forcing a laugh or faking a smile. At least go say “hello”. I know as an introvert it is hard, and not everyone understands, but it’ll be okay. Fake it ‘till you make it if you have to.
• There are hard days, like today; where you feel like you’ve been running circles and that you barely know yourself. You might feel confused and hurt and lonely and who knows what else. But guess what, tomorrow is another day.
• When there’s an empty room and a piano, go over and play. Hit a wrong note. Perform loudly as if you could care less. Not for anyone, just yourself. Try to sing along to a tune you just thought of and can’t really play. Play hymns you don’t really know and sing at the top of your lungs.
• Your worth is in Christ, who is forever faithful. Trust in Him and what shall outlast the test of time; because those mundane things of today will soon vanish from memory. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
• Nobody may understand your humor or that somewhat-but-not-really-witty quip, but it’s the thought that counts. And if it’s just one person’s suppressed giggle or smile, take joy in that.
• Walk into Chick-fil-A and hug that cow or set up your laptop and blast Spotify. Ask for a ton of sauces and well-done everything. Don’t look up afraid of what people might think; embrace those weird, astonished looks you get from people and smile back at them. Stay until 9:59 and enjoy yourself.
• Confess what you’ve been wrestling with. What makes you crazy. What hurts you. What you find discouraging or challenging. What makes your soul thirst. What makes your entire being full of happiness. If you have to cry, cry. If you have to scream or clench your teeth or hit the table with your fist, do that. You’ll make it through, whatever it is.
• Remember details and ask people about them. Show them they are cherished, loved, because it’s these things that prove you care the most. Take these chances to encourage them and point them to Christ.
• Be thankful for the good times and dare to try something that terrifies you- something that makes you sick to your stomach. Dare to fail in front of others. Go up to that stranger your friends picked out and shake their hand. Sing around a campfire or run up to pet someone’s goat. Intercept that football and show people you can throw a spiral (or not, for that matter). Those smiles and laughs and fails won’t be here forever. Give in to a grin and a giggle because they happened.
• It’s okay not to have the words for what you feel or what you want to say. There will be times when things are welled deep and things that cannot be explained. It’s okay. Put it at the feet of the One who died for your soul.
• Busyness may reassure you that perhaps your life has meaning, but truly, it doesn’t make you more holy or mature-looking. It just shows that you’re busy. And that you’re overwhelmed. That you’re just like everyone else. Busyness isn’t to be gloried or bragged in. Slow down, take everything in. Forget the hustle and bustle for a moment. Simplify. Don’t become so preoccupied that you overlook the simple and beautiful in the everyday. You may just miss it.
• Be thankful. Be prayerful. Be faithful. Be kind. Be loving. And if you have to, ask for a heart of those things. Ask for growth in every grace.
• No matter what, rest knowing that Christ’s work on the cross is enough. That He loves you and carries you through, every step of the way.
• And I don’t care if you’ll stand out or look like a goody two-shoe, but dagum, if you say you love the Lord and care about His Word and His commands, then freaking act like it in public. Do you not realize that although you may be homeschooled and go to a Christian school, not everyone will be going into Heaven with you because they’re wearing uniforms with a cross or sit next to you in the pew? And you want to be a missionary and evangelize to people in other countries, yet you cannot do that here, when there are endless opportunities in front of you. Oh soul, how do you expect to tell a stranger effectively about the Gospel and how you’ve been changed in the deepest of ways when you cannot share that with a friend who will understand your words and see the sincerity in your eyes, heart, and life? Don’t just say that you are a disciple of Christ, and hide in the darkness with everyone else. You’re supposed to be a witness and a light; And dang, you really do a crummy job at that. Oh soul, pray. Pray pray.
Instead of complaining with someone about an upcoming test, ask about what God’s done in their life lately, or How God’s shown them grace lately. Ask how you can pray for someone. Give someone a hug. Ask the person who’s annoying, or dumb, or whatever you want to call it, how they’ve been doing. Love others as Christ loves you. Care. Build up and don’t tear down. Make Christ the center and glorify him in every little thing. I know it’s tempting to gossip and swear and act pervertedly like everyone else, but please, please, use kind, patient words. Be quick to listen and slow to speak . Tame your tongue and think. Would you act the same way if you knew Christ was coming in 5 minutes? Would you be ready to give account for every thought and deed? Forgive like Christ forgives you each and every day. Yes, forgive when someone may unknowingly offend you when they don’t sit in class with you or make a racist joke (because you seem to be okay with it anyways). &It doesn’t have to be through something major and public, but in the little things when people aren’t watching, honor Him. I know that this Christian life seems overwhelming, and you know, it most certainly is. The bar is high, and it’s like that on purpose; it’s to show us our desperate need of Jesus and our dependency on Him.
&Don’t ever forget that each and every moment is a gift of Mercy to your soul. Remember that you are a sinner; a terrible, horrible, person who deserves to be less than the dust of the ground. You deserve to be cast into the fiery furnace. You cannot earn favor with God, no matter how much you do. Remember that Christ didn’t have to die on the cross, but in obedience, He graciously laid down His blameless life to save your soul from the depths of Hell so that you could stand justified and forgiven and spend eternity with Him. Should that not be enough? Oh heart, cling to the Savior, because all other ground is sinking sand.
• Live a life characterized by grace.
Here's to the days well-spent and the mercies anew and the overflowing cup of countless unexpected graces and gifts. Here's to remembering that Christ is all one will ever truly need and that He is so very faithful and sovereign in every season. Here's to remembering that life isn't always easy, and that it's okay to admit you're a mess and don't know what to do. Here's to walking the journey filled with struggles and trials with a humble confidence in the sufficiency of the Lord. Here's to taking a deep breath, and continuing on, one step at a time, realizing that the messy everyday is in fact, a wonderful, marvelous, gift from God.
17 is crazy, exciting, overwhelming, confusing, convicting, disappointing, and joy-filled as ever. But while each day passes, I realize that my home is not here; instead that beholding glory awaits and that the Potter is using these mundane, little happenings to transform me more into the image of His Son. I'm learning to whole-heartedly say, "It is well with my soul," and "'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus." I'm learning that there's a lot of peace when you put everything of into the hands wounded for you and when you cast away all the empty things of the world. I'm learning to take joy in the little things and I'm clinging to the cross with hope; the same hope I held when my soul was saved making my love even deeper. God is changing my heart like he changes the leaves. It's a glorious, wonderful season, and I am so very thankful.
Before school came to a close last year, I was fortunate enough to become a part of Chick-fil-A and work behind their counters. These past 12 weeks have been pure bliss. I absolutely love my job and I am so grateful for every moment I spend at the store. Wonderful people who make my time there so enjoyable abound. I would not trade my job there for anything in the world. Not everyone has the opportunity to take ugly selfies with co-workers and not feel weird. Not everyone goes on special outings the one day everyone has off. My job is such a blessing. Some days though, it is easy to come home and feel like you've been thrown from where you stand into a puddle of mud and left there. There are days where everything that you hoped wouldn't happen, happens... There are the things you have no control over and you're left dumbfounded and wondering. Or when you're told something and have no idea how to respond. You have those times where people blow up in your face and all you feel like doing is going to a corner and never coming out. Getting up, shaking everything off, and continuing to smile is not a piece of cake in the slightest.
I came home from work crying today. Got a hug, dried the tears, and then cried again. I came across Psalm 27:13 as I scrolled around on my phone. The verse reads, "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD." I am so grateful to know that Jesus is using every little detail for my good and his glory, even when I don't understand what's going on or why certain things are happening. I'm grateful that he is sovereign and so very kind. He protects me in my days of trouble the same way He does in my days of peace & i have so many evidences of graces from my past to prove it.
It is not easy to share my life, even if it's vaguely like this. Being an introvert, I prefer to keep things locked up and build walls. most times, my posts are deleted before I hit 'publish'. &I am aware that almost, if not all, of my writing address things about Jesus. I write about Jesus because I love Him and because this is what He is doing right now in my life. Please know, that I am not asking you to be religious as I am, or write about the same things I do, but I am asking you to read about what Jesus is doing in my life and my walk as a Believer. I have been paid for, rescued, and forgiven all by a Savior who decided to love an undeserving and sinning orphan from China. My life is so radically different from what it was before, and I think that the least I can do is write about it. My journey isn't all fluff and fun..It’s the messy, it's the struggles, the hardship, the sweat, the tears, and the faith in the one who gave me the light to see. It'll be a crazy ride, and I'm so very glad Jesus will be with me every single step of the way.
Life lately has felt like an unpredictable sea in the midst of a dark, trying storm... A storm where seeing a foot in front of you is nearly impossible. A humming sound came softly behind me from the dishwasher as I stood shaking, tears rolling down my cheeks, trying to breathe. I stood utterly confused, overwhelmed, stuck, disappointed-- feelings that seem far too familiar to me each year around this time. I broke. All the feelings and thoughts I had kept locked up for so long let loose, like water rushing through open gates of a dam. Words that I dared not utter finally left my lips: "I don't know what I'm even doing," I told my mom. I faced the fact that I was not where I wanted or intended to be. Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing. I hit a wall. I was stuck. Summer has not been as I imagined or hoped, and at times it can be extremely discouraging. Many times, I have been so close to throwing in the towel regarding all things photography. I have been close to deciding that my desires for marriage should be abandoned after finding out that once again, affections I had were not returned and should instead retire to the single, "forever alone" life.
Dare I say that having a flowchart for every detail of my life would make things easier? Trusting and faith...it's not easy, to say the least. But if faith were easy, wouldn't it not be real faith? I find myself stuck in a dark patch, or perhaps lost in the middle of a field of overgrown grass; I cannot see what the future holds and to say that it scares me not would be a lie. All I can do is put everything I cling to (and wrongly so) at the feet of my Father, and instead cling to what stands the test of time: the cross of Jesus. I realize all I can do is that and ask God to change my heart and put Him above all. That he would show me what to do as each day passes and constantly remind me, "Oh child of little faith, why are you afraid?" (Matthew 8:26).
Internal conflict has been deep within my soul..trying to find contentment and joy knowing that I am exactly where I am intended to be. Trying to cherish the present and remember what is to come will come. Trying to remember that I cannot mess up God's plan. Trying to remember that none can love me more than Jesus. Battling my fear of waiting and uncertainty when my mind plays dirty tricks on my heart. I sing and play all the more louder the stanzas by Louisa M. R. Stead in her hymn, "Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus" and stanzas of Anne R. Cousin's hymn, "The Sands of Time are Sinking" is that not a gift of grace that I can sing those words with a whole-hearted confidence?
"We trust in what we cannot see," my mom told me. "It's so hard," I whimpered. But that's the beauty of it. Jesus uses every little moment, every stage in life to bring His children closer. I forget that X is only a stage, a stage that takes me further on the journey closer to Christ. That X stage will not last always. That I have hope in the source of my hope: Jesus. That I look not to my hand which clings to Christ, but to Christ himself.
"We will never find happiness by looking at our prayers, or deeds, or our feelings," Spurgeon writes, "It is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul."
I hear the savior say, thy strength indeed is small, child of weakness watch and pray, find in me thine all in all. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control: That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed His own blood for my soul. With mercy and with judgment my web of time He wove, And aye, the dews of sorrow were lustered with His love; I’ll bless the hand that guided, I’ll bless the heart that planned when throned where glory dwelleth in Immanuel’s land. | 2019-04-24T06:57:36 | https://www.hannahforsberg.com/blog/tag/faith |

When Apple’s legendary Worldwide Developers Conference rolled around earlier this month, I must admit that I was personally a tad disappointed at the lack of new hardware that many expected to be unveiled. Like many, I myself was secretly wishing that the company would unveil the next generation Apple iPhone. However, even without the presence of new hardware to show off, Apple’s developer conference wasn’t a blow by any stretch of the imagination.
One of the things that I found most intriguing was the “iCloud” service, which is expected to be unveiled a bit later this year. The ability to seamlessly synchronize files and collaborate efficiently with other users is a very promising development. Even though some will argue that Apple mimicked and stole ideas from other developers, I must say that the cleanliness of how things appear to be tied together make the upcoming service something that I believe will be an instant hit with consumers.
Having said this, even though iCloud hasn’t officially been released for general use by day-to-day users as of yet, I’m already wondering how long it will be until we see iCloud blossom out beyond a solely consumer-focused product into something able and ready to take on the cloud communications and collaboration needs of enterprises and even government agencies.
Just this week, Google became the exclusive cloud provider for the entire executive branch of the Wyoming state government. This comes after years of developing consumer and small/medium-business communications tools. With the cloud developments of Microsoft and even traditional software companies like VMware working on their own cloud-computing solutions, there is no doubt that the “cloud” field is a big target for many companies and quite obviously very profitable industry.
Having said this, even if Apple never built iCloud with the thought of expanding it into the business and government fields – and I’m pretty sure a company as large as Apple wouldn’t overlook such thing – it would be awfully wasteful of the company not to follow the money with business cloud services.
Really, businesses are flocking to the cloud left and right because the ability to have a more stable and readily available platform at a price often-times lower than what it costs to run similar systems in-house is simply too good to pass up. But when businesses (like the one I work for) evaluate cloud and out-sourced IT infrastructure, one of the things they always look at is the history of the company and service to ensure that they are capable of handling all of their needs. While developers such as Microsoft and VMware are typically seen as trustworthy and stable enough to handle business needs. For Apple, however, there may be a different case.
You see, iCloud will have to be on the market for a while before it can gain any reputation; good or bad. Even worse, Apple as a company doesn’t have a great history as a cloud provider. MobileMe, and .Mac before that were both services that many would consider to be “duds.” Would or will companies hold this against Apple?
At the same time, Apple already has a great standing in the business field. In only a few years the Apple iPhone has managed to become a big player in the smartphone market and is used by both consumers and businesses alike. The Apple Macintosh and even newer developments such as the iPad have made their way into businesses and have done very well, at that. That in mind, Apple isn’t in all that bad of a position.
What do you think? Would an Apple-drive business cloud product be a hit or a miss? Let us know in the comments! | 2019-04-21T18:45:55 | https://www.besttechie.com/how-would-icloud-fare-at-the-enterprise-level/ |

Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Wildlife officials in Florida said they rescued a young bald eagle found with a bad case of poisoning in the trash at a waste facility.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Wednesday the juvenile eagle was discovered by staff at the waste disposal facility and summoned wildlife biologists to the scene.
The FWC biologists were able to capture the eagle in a net and take it to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, which was able to transfer the ailing bird to an animal clinic.
The eagle, which was suffering from a form of poisoning, was later transferred to the Eye of the Eagle Wildlife Sanctuary, where it will be rehabilitated for eventual release, the FWC said. | 2019-04-25T16:17:31 | https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2017/08/04/Eagle-rescued-from-trash-at-Florida-waste-facility/3611501870450/?utm_source=sec&utm_campaign=sl&utm_medium=9 |
