As preparations and media coverage for the Tour de France hot up in the professional world, hundreds of amateur cyclists are preparing for their own tour challenge, the 237km Etape du Tour from Limoges to St. Flour.
The race takes in the 1589m Col du Pas de Peyrol with it’s final 2km of Puy de Marie at 17%. Andy Waterman has already been and ridden the course and his verdict? It’s a “real killer”. You can see a profile of the challenging course on this page.
Among those preparing are several of our own RCUK members, all of whom have varying degrees of experience and different expectations of the race. Here’s who they are, what they’re riding and how they’ve been preparing for the big day.
Profile: Maurice has won three British titles raced on the Belgian 6-day circuit between 1977 and 1984. He retired from competitive cycling in 1984 after a serious racing accident.
In 1987 he took over De Ver cycles and is now both an RCUK member and advertiser on the site. His career achievements include: British Junior Sprint Champion 1973, British Senior 20km Champion 1974, British Team Commonwealth Games 1974, British 4km Team Persuit Champion 1975, 4th, European Championships (Madison ) 1980.
Training: Maurice has been putting in the miles including a London-Oxford-London ride with him and 2 mates last Sunday in 8 and a half hours including a stop for tea!
Good luck to all fellow Etapers and especially the i-team squad.
Profile: Adrian hails from Chorlton in Manchester, he’s 6’3′ and 78kgs “too big for mountains, too skinny for sprints”.
Dura Ace seat post, Flight Evolution 3 carbon saddle.
Past record: Etape 2003, 7hours 50 mins – silver; Polakdot challenge grandfondo 2004, 6 hours exactly.
March, 10 days in Majorca doing 1,000 kms after which I had a six week lay off; I’ve done 1,400kms getting back on the bike.
climbing – Cat and Fiddle etc. I’m doing rides up to 160km max at the moment and if the week goes to plan (like it ever does!) then I should have done this: 3 weekday evening rides of 50 to 60km, interval sessions most lunch times and a 100 and a 160km at the weekend.
training have been a test in will power, everything seemed harder and slower than ever. But it seems to have come together with a good time in the Polkadot chalenge.
Training: “Of course my training hasn’t been quite as planned – best intentions and all that. It was going quite well until I went to the States on business for ten days and spent a few days with my sister who led me astray. In short I did ‘a bit of an Ullrich’ – picture is of me ‘carbo-loading’ in the Outback Steakhouse.
“Up ‘til now the hardest thing I’ve done was the Wight Diamond Challenge at the end of May: 7hrs/5hrs mountain bike orienteering. I came 4th in my class which was OK and it gave me a good chance to try out hydration and eating strategies. It wasn’t 150 miles, but it did include some reasonable climbing and some serious puncture repair practice – two flats!
Aim: The main point of going is to have fun and – well basically to enjoy the day. So this year the triple chainset is definitely coming.
Training: “Hows it going? Not as planned! Combination of not getting confirmation of my place till late and seeing a sports physio for an injury, sustained late last year and left untreated till March, has left me short – race and mileage wise.
Training: “Approx 10 hours per week, starting in December last year. Mixture of some gym work, long training runs, some surrey league RRs and evening events and a few MTB enduro and XC races. A big thanks to my wife Anne for all her support during this time.

Small business owners all over the world usually fail to stop and ask themselves just what their business is worth until they are attempting to sell their business or preparing for retirement. However, gaining early perspective concerning the worth of your business from a third party can greatly benefit the future of your business goals and overall direction. If you are at the point of selling your business or planning for retirement, succession, or divorce, this simple question has no simple answer. Depending on what value is being calculated, a third party could conclude on a much different price when assessing fair market value versus another calculation like most probable selling price.
For the sake of simplification, only the most probable selling price method will be discussed here. Since you are probably hoping to determine the value of your company so you can sell it or pass it on to an heir, this is the method that will be determined. Three approaches can be taken, including market, income and asset approaches. Market approach is when your business is compared to similar businesses that sell the same goods or services and how much they were sold for. This cannot be the only approach however, as comparing businesses in different states that are different sizes from one another can throw off findings.
Income approach calculates how much money your business is generating for you on a yearly basis and determining a reasonable price it could be sold at. Since small businesses are a risk and not guaranteed to generate income, an accommodation must be made for the risk factor. Cash flow is identified through a process known as recasting which involves dissecting tax returns and determining how much money actually benefited the business owner. By following trends of past years, you can calculate estimated future returns the business will make for the new owner.
The final approach is called asset approach. Also known as cost approach, this method deals with physical assets but does not provide much value for goodwill. Many businesses place a good amount of emphasis on goodwill, meaning this would not be the best approach. However, if your business has a number of investments in outside sources, this could be a very beneficial method of determining how much your business is worth. As you prepare to put your business up for sale, understand that negotiations will undoubtedly occur and the market will be the ultimate determining factor of what you can sell your business for. | 2019-04-24T16:28:21 | http://www.businessworth.info/2018/09/page/4 |

Looking through all these photos makes me really miss America and being with my friends. I used to travel before I went to camp, and in 2012 as this was the year I turned 21 I went to Vegas with my camp friends. From Vegas we did a day to trip the Grand Canyom which was beyond amazing! I wish I could be there right now!
We drove to the Grand Canyon from Vegas in my friends truck, there was a group of us that went but we couldn’t all fit in one car. Unfortunately their car broke down and they didn’t get to spend long in the park.
It was a fairly long drive but well worth it. We walked around loads and took so many photos. Once we had finished we stopped at the Hoover Dam which was also pretty amazing! We arrived at sunset though so nothing was open so it was just a quick visit. We then drove back to Vegas and stopped of at Pizza Hut for dinner.
Wow you got such a clear day for it.. great pictures! | 2019-04-18T20:28:24 | https://victoriajuliette.com/2016/05/11/grand-canyon-hoover-dam/ |

That's what I have Staff for.
Da staff round here needs to get to work.
That would mess up your pawdicure! Let the staff handle it, for sure.
I thought you might eat the weeds. Cats eat grass and weeds are a lot like grass.
ps - Bear might have a tiny crush on you, Allie. But that's on the DL.
But of course! Though Wally would probably chew on the weeds.
Mum did not weed today, she did mow the lawn.
My staff is very lazy with gardening this year …it's beginning to look like we live in the middle of a forest instead of a suburb of Chicago.
I agree Allie, we shouldn't get our paws dirty.
* helpless giggles * Of course - we just snoopervise!!
Nope; no weeding done here either...staff just watered the plants on the patio.
But we did see her wrap purrsents and later pawppy ripped them all off the boxes, wow, all her work fur naught. | 2019-04-25T03:48:14 | https://www.atonkstail.com/2016/06/national-weed-your-garden-day.html |
If you are noticing unusual sounds from your HVAC system, you may wonder whether heating or AC repair services are warranted. While this may be the case, some early diagnostics may save you the trouble and expense of calling an HVAC contractor. In some cases, new sounds can be identified and corrected on your own. In others, you will want to call your service company right away to ensure that you don’t suffer serious damage to your equipment. Note the type of sound and its location as you consider how to proceed.
If your unusual sounds indicate that a change in airflow has occurred, you may be able to rectify the issue with a simple filter change. When your AC or heating equipment is operating, you may notice the sound of air moving into the air handling unit and out of your vents. A restriction may cause the sounds to become louder or shrill. Check your filter first.
A dirty filter is one of the most common causes of problems with heating and cooling equipment, and it should be changed prior to the onset of seasonal heating or cooling activity. A clogged filter can prevent air from moving through your home, and the change in sound may be accompanied by poor airflow from vents. Make sure that your air filter replacement has a MERV value of no more than 12 as higher efficiency filters can cause pressure drops.
Registers – blockages in registers can restrict airflow.
Ducts – leaky ducts can lead to reduced pressure in your airstream. These must be inspected and repaired professionally if this is the source of the noise.
Indoor coils – dirty coils can restrict the movement of air in your home and require professional cleaning during a system tune-up.
Clunking or vibrating noises may indicate that a large unit has moved. Supports for the outside unit of your AC could be loose. Mounts for a blower motor or other large system component could rust or loosen, leading to the possible movement of the larger part. You can make a visual check of the area where the noise is noted, but adjusting interior parts may require the assistance of an HVAC contractor.
Mechanical issues are more serious, signaling potential problems with critical components. A seized compressor could be quite costly. Your blower motor could be a source of such sounds inside your home. Rattling sounds in your furnace may indicate failure of important heating components. All of these issues are serious enough that a professional service call is warranted. If related changes in your system performance haven’t yet occurred, you may be able to limit potential damage by acting promptly.
Accurate Comfort Services can assist with diagnosing sounds at your outside unit, air handling unit or in ducts. We work promptly to help our customers in Marco Island, FL, achieve optimum comfort control throughout the year. Contact our customer representatives for your preventive or emergency service needs. | 2019-04-25T13:59:56 | https://accuratecomfortservices.com/blog/hvac-sounds-may-signal-trouble |

Subway Wraps Vehicles To Promote Free Delivery App In Orange County!
When you have a hot new item or service available to customers, what is the best way to inform as many people about it as possible? You can try to do television, radio, or newspaper ads, but those only reach a small segment of your target audience. On the other hand, vehicle graphics have proven to be effective at reaching everyone in your service area as you make your deliveries. Subway recently realized this, so they contacted the friendly experts at Caliber Signs & Imaging for vehicle delivery wraps in Orange County.
SUBWAY HAS A NEW APP FOR CALIFORNIA?
Chances are you have visited one of the more than 44,000 Subway restaurants across the globe. This successful fast food franchise prides itself on offering healthy alternatives to its customers. Now, they have launched the Subway free delivery app in Orange County that makes ordering submarine sandwiches even easier. You can choose to order a sandwich and pick it up at your nearest Subway, or you can have it delivered to you at the beach, school, home, office, hospital, or at parties in Orange County, CA. Plus, it is available for both Androids and iPhones.
When such a successful business came to us for vehicle delivery wraps in Orange County to help promote their new app, we were more than happy to help. The owner of the local Subway franchise had seen the Caliber Signs & Imaging wrap on our Mercedes, since he lives in the same neighborhood. He had a bunch of vehicles to wrap, and fortunately, he contacted the right sign company for the job.
Smart cars are perfect for making deliveries, since they are fuel efficient and fit into tiny parking spots at the beach or other crowded areas. Consequently, Subway had a lot of smart cars to get wrapped. In addition, we installed graphics on repair vehicles and minivans. With such a diverse array of vehicles, our challenge was keeping the branding and message consistent.
After meeting with the owner and discussing his vision and budget, we created proofs of what the wrapped automobiles would look like. Once he was completely satisfied, we went to work printing the graphics on top quality vinyl designed for cars using our wide format digital printer. Finally, we worked with the client to schedule a time to install the wraps when it would cause the least disruption to business.
In the end, Subway now has repair and delivery vehicles that make you hungry! Our client was completely satisfied!
Do you have a big product or service launch coming up? Get the word out about it with fleet graphics. Our skilled team is able to create and install matching graphics for a broad range of cars, trucks, vans, and even boats. This consistent appearance will help build your brand awareness, so consumers will come to you when they want your goods or services.
Are you ready to get started? Contact us today for a free consultation and quote on vehicle wraps!

For centuries the Valkyries, shield maidens of Norse mythology, have taken only the bravest and finest warriors to the Halls of Valhalla. That is, until a young Valkyrie named Keldegarde decides to change things.
Unlike her fellow Valkyries, Keldegarde judges the worth of a warrior by his heart, not his sword. And by the strength of his honest words, not the strength of his shield.
This compassion leads her to conduct the most unworthy individuals into the halls of the Viking Heaven, which even includes injured animals.
This practice draws the ire of not only Freyja, leader of the Valkyries, and King Odin himself, but the attention Odin’s infamous blood-brother as well…Loki! And Loki means to exploit it by any means necessary! | 2019-04-21T04:25:36 | http://darkstormcomics.com/astounding-comics/valkyries/ |
Beyond life, cat risk has received the near- undivided attention of convergence capacity. The potential to match convergence capital with more specialty risks is being considered.
Cat deals dominate the convergence space, with peak peril risks such as US wind making up a sizable percentage of both the public and private markets. Rising levels of investor capital and an investor set increasingly comfortable with reinsurance risk are helping to drive a bullish convergence market hungry for new and diversifying cat perils, but what about opportunities outside the cat space? Are specialty risks a potential fit for the capital markets and what are the challenges of bringing such deals to market?
Perhaps the first major hurdle to diversifying into specialty lines will be securing investor interest. They have grown comfortable with cat risk in recent years, but there are considerable challenges around doing so with specialty. Viewed as a welcome and non-correlating addition to an investment portfolio, cat risk has proved popular— particularly in the current low interest rate environment. Specialtyrisks, however, simply cannot boast the same non-correlated profile, said Bill Dubinsky, head of ILS at Willis Capital Markets & Advisory. The potential for correlation will necessitate considered conversations around such risks, as many might not complement an investor’s existing convergence portfolio or its broader investment allocation, he explained. This will create evident headwinds for any development of specialty convergence products.
Nevertheless, there are areas of specialty risk that could be a good fit for the capital markets. Citing political risk as a case in point, Dubinsky said that many in the capital markets have the skillset necessary to understand and price such exposures. “There are oodles of investors out there who are familiar with political risk—it is part of their day- to-day investments. Sovereign debt has a similar skillset,” he said, so getting comfortable with such deals shouldn’t prove a challenge. The same cannot be said for other specialty areas, many of which will necessarily need to draw on reinsurance expertise.
Specialist investors are likely to be the most active participants in those lines that have traditionally found a home in the reinsurance industry, said Dubinsky, while new and emerging risks may be able to draw on expertise taken from the wider capital markets. What is clear is that investor appetite for specialty deals is likely to be mixed.
Despite these headwinds, “the existing investor set is becoming increasingly broad-minded”, although rather than making sweeping moves into the non-cat space “investors are generally looking to make change incrementally and at the margin”, said Dubinsky. He said that much would depend on the skills of investors, with reinsurance specialists and institutional investors alike looking to leverage existing capabilities to pursue instruments that are well understood, rather than diving in feet first.
Pete Cangany, partner at Ernst & Young, spoke in a similar vein, arguing that investor appetite was likely to be “hesitant” as it explored new risks in the convergence space. Cangany said that if such deals were underwritten appropriately, early deals could “prove to the market what can be delivered, and I suspect others will follow”. Specialty risks were likely to be the preserve of those investors that truly understand the market, rather than those hunting for short-term yield, he said, contending that “there will likely be those who will never get comfortable with specialty and non-cat risk”.Development in the space would necessarily need to be led by a well respected company, individual or team of underwriters active in the convergence space, said Cangany. These early players would then open up the market for further entrants. The issue is whether the hurdles around bringing those risks to market are too significant to make a serious expansion of the specialty convergence space a reality.
At the same time investor attention was likely to remain on peak peril risks, Bisping argued, where they are able to benefit from the transparency, models and attractive margins that are a feature of cat risk in the convergence space. This is also where demand for capacity would likely remain, said Bisping, markedly reducing opportunities in the specialty space.
Bisping said that while specialty risks could theoretically find a home in the convergence market, the complexity of such risks and the cost of funding them through the capital markets would likely make them uncompetitive in comparison with traditional reinsurance. “As a reinsurance company you can write the business without posting collateral, harvesting the full benefits of diversification as you expose your capital base to a large variety of risk factors,” Bisping explained. “If you are a collateralised reinsurer, however, you need to post collateral for each and every limit, which makes sense for peak scenarios with relatively high margins. But for diversifying risks, which can be written by reinsurers very efficiently, posting collateral just isn’t economical.” Further complicating such deals is their timeline, with investor interest firmly focused on short tail, cat lines. Longer tail, specialty perils would likely prove a more challenging election for investors, said Bisping. New and emerging convergence perils—should they gain traction—will undoubtedly require close attention. Faced with an unwillingness to cede such business into the capital markets and the cost and complexity of such deals, specialty risks will likely struggle to gain traction.
Model behaviour A further challenge will be around modelling, understanding and building triggers for these specialty risks. As Cangany made clear, the difficulties associated with placing risks such as pandemic or terrorism risk in the capital markets are significant, with a lack of data presenting a particular impediment to market development. Until the market can accumulate sufficient data on such risks, it will be a challenge to price and structure such exposures, he said. While data for cat risk is considerable, specialty lines simply can’t draw upon the same level of data, he said. Until this changes, the building of triggers, investor confidence and a marketplace will present a considerable challenge.
Bisping similarly argued that the challenges around modelling non-cat risk would likely prove a significant impediment to such deals. “Investors simply don’t have the expertise to assess these kinds of specialty risk.” On the cat side there is a high level of transparency delivered by a diverse set of third party providers that can be modelled and quantified, said Bisping. “But when the deal is complex, unmodelled and opaque it becomes difficult for an investor to absorb that risk.” Complex, specialty risks are likely to be given a wide berth.
Dubinsky agreed that models play an important role in the understanding of risk, but sought to dispel myths around “investors being naive recipients of model information with no real judgement— they simply are not”. He said that models are only part of how they evaluate risk, with tools such as actuarial analyses enabling them to get comfortable with risks that don’t necessarily enjoy the attentions of the main vendor models. Triggers can then be built around this actuarial or modelled data, opening up possibilities to commoditise such risks.
Triggers present a further unique challenge and one that will vary considerably by risk. Industry loss warranty triggers would appear to be a good fit for specialty risks, but Dubinsky argued that while they are helpful in “making risks easier for investors to understand”, they need to be appropriately designed for each individual transaction. He said that an actuarial approach—rather than one based on industry loss—might prove the best fit for some transactions, although such an approach will evidently require existing reinsurance expertise. Such hurdles would tend to favour specialist investors already active in the space.Indices such as Property Claims Services and PERILS in the cat space could also help with the creation of transparent, independent triggers and market data, but as yet the specialty market remains underserved. Until this changes, investors won’t enjoy the same level of access to information enjoyed by the cat space, denting likely appetite in the specialty area.
Limited opportunities Despite marked headwinds, a movement of convergence capital into specialty lines presents an opportunity to broaden the risk-taking appetite of existing reinsurance players. As Dubinsky explained, exposures such as terrorism risk in the US may well be an opportunity for convergence capital to team up with traditional reinsurance capacity to replace the existing government back-stop. He said that this would most likely be through a sidecar or collateralised vehicle, delivering complementary capacity to reinsurance.
Pandemic risk is another potential fit for the capital markets, said Dubinsky, and “one that investors are already comfortable with. It is an area where reinsurers have decidedly limited appetite and I see significant risk opportunity there” for reinsurers to increase take-up in concert with the capital markets. Citing the threat posed by pandemic risk to organisations such as international airlines, Dubinsky said that capital market solutions could deliver considerable capacity, with “the best use of that capacity being as a complement to existing re/ insurance—to multiply the risk-taking abilities of existing insurers and reinsurers”.
Working with the capital markets to deploy new capacity to emerging risk will create undoubted headwinds for traditional reinsurers, but investor appetite for new risk remains undiminished. Reinsurers may be forced to accept an accommodation of sorts if investor interest persists, although the strength of reinsurers’ existing value propositions may yet prove sufficient to discourage any major move by convergence capital into the specialty space.
Much will depend on the interest rate environment and the willingness of insurers to explore capital market solutions. For now, however, specialty risks are gaining little traction in the convergence market. | 2019-04-23T00:36:53 | https://www.bermudareinsurancemagazine.com/article/convergence-capital-a-life-beyond-cat |
Relationships; we all have them. Mother. Father. Daughter. Son. Parents. In-laws. Husband. Wife. Children. Friends. Co-workers. Employees. Bosses. Customers. And more.
These relationships can be positive or negative - or complex!
When you have a chronic illness, you need healthy relationships! You need people around you who are supportive and understanding. Folks who can help you remember your treatment and can take you to appointment. Someone who will share your joys and your successes - and your struggles and your failures.
Sometimes family members can fulfill these roles and sometimes friends can help out. No matter the connection, you need people in your life who bring blessings.
However, you may be alone. If so, a great idea is to get a personal life coach or a health coach. If you need a driver, try Uber driver. Pets make awesome companions. Churches should be able to help out. There are lots of options!
But, what if you have toxic relationships? Folks who tear you down rather than build you up. Relatives who do not believe that you are sick - just think that you are crazy. Spouses who become emotionally distant to you because they cannot handle your illness. People who cause constant stress in your life. And then there may be the narcissists - either covert or overt - who are gaslighting you.
These folks have got to go and must leave your life. Believe it or not, these types of unhealthy relationships can even cause a type of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) especially if they are repetitive and chronic.
A subset of PTSD is called PTSD of abandonment or complex PTSD (C-PTSD). When significant people around you should have a positive influence, but instead repetitively cause a negative reaction, you can feel rejected and abandoned. You may have had a primary trigger early in life and now a secondary trigger is complicating your existence. And the emotional trauma does not need to be major by society's standards; it just needs to be significant for you.
When exposed to constant emotional trauma, your body develops a state of hypervigilence while deciding whether to fight, flee or freeze. This stress response impairs your immune system - and your health. You will not fully get well until the toxic relationship(s) and the PTSD are addressed and treated.
You must remove yourself from toxic relationships that are triggering your PTSD. You can not stay in the relationship and hope your stress response gets better. It will not. If you are drowning in the deep end of the pool, you do not stay there and hope to learn to swim. No! You get out, dry yourself off, and go to the shallow end and take swimming lessons. So, you must stop the stress response by severing the triggering relationship whether it be a spouse, parent, friend, or boss.
Therapy is often necessary. Work on personal development and stress management. Rewrite the script of your life. It is never too late to start over.
If you are married to a narcissist or if your parents are narcissists or codependents, then I highly suggest Lisa A. Romano The Breakthrough Life Coach. She can help you through various ways.
And, develop healthy relationships with others. Find friends who share common interests. By surrounding yourself with positive relationships, your health will be restored and your life will be filled with joy.
Yes, it is possible to restore a previously toxic relationship IF you and the other person really work on the problem separately at first and then gradually and incrementally together. You cannot do it yourself. | 2019-04-19T02:29:52 | https://www.the-healthy-path.org/healthy-relationships.html |

LEGO House is the newly built LEGO Experience family attraction in the very centre of Billund, Denmark. We reported from LEGO House back in June when the exhibits were still being installed and there was still a lot of work to be done to the interior and exterior. LEGO House is now completely finished, the last bricks have been placed and tomorrow, 28 September doors will be opened to the public.
Among the speakers at the opening ceremony will be 3rd generation LEGO Group owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, LEGO House architect Bjarke Ingels, and HRH The Crown Princess Mary. After the ceremony, specific parts of LEGO House will be open to public, including the Square, the LEGO store and the coloured outdoor terraces but the Experience Zones, which require a ticket, are not available until 29 September. Livestream of highlights from the upcoming event will be available on Facebook.
LEGO House has been built with creativity, play and learning in mind and with more than 25 million bricks there is no shortage of LEGO available to build with inside. This is not just a look and see gallery, but roughly 20,000 square feet of LEGO experience that will engage young and old alike. On entering, there is open access to the roof terraces, the LEGO Store (complete with Pick-A-Brick and Pick-A-Model) and the three eateries.
Tickets for the experience zones cost 199DKK/US$31/£23 each for adults and children (free for accompanied children under 2) and are purchased online in advance for an arrival time but you can stay as long as you wish until the House closes at 8 pm. | 2019-04-18T17:04:46 | https://www.brothers-brick.com/2017/09/27/lego-house-opens-doors-playing-public-news/ |
I think there’s real potential in Netflix and other content creators looking to Japan for adaptable material. Certainly we’ve seen American networks do well with adaptations from Europe (sometimes; other times, their “efforts” are calamitously poor) and no less than the likes of Martin Scorsese have drawn from East Asian live-action films – 2006’s The Departed being based on a Hong Kong film called Infernal Affairs.
On the other hand, while manga and anime are replete with innovative stories told with unique auteurial flourishes, its idiosyncracies have some fragile qualities that Hollywood’s clumsy machine can mangle into oblivion. I shouldn’t need to point out the waste of film reel that was this year’s Ghost in the Shell, and anime-like shows such as Avatar: the Last Airbender (a Western production, but inspired by Asian motifs and featuring ethnic Asian characters) have produced unfathomable disasters in the hands of whitewashing producers and incompetent directors.
You’ve got to realize it’s a bad omen when a film like The Last Airbender is brought up in the review of another film. I’ve done so because two of the key sins of that film have manifested themselves in Netflix’s production of Death Note, a film that arguably would have done much better as a proper miniseries. I say “arguably” because Netflix has committed a misstep already this month and Death Note isn’t any kind of argument for a return to form.
The story follows the same setup as the now-classic psychological thriller: a high-school student named Light comes into possession of the “Death Note,” a supernatural notebook with the macabre ability to extinguish lives. With a name, a face, and the stroke of a pen, Light can cause someone anywhere in the world to die. At first terrified by the outcome of his test and of the Note’s macabre custodian, a demonic “death god” named Ryuk, Light rapidly comes to acquire a taste for the power of absolute judgment and with its free exercise becomes “Kira,” the public’s adopted name for their invisible and omnipotent demigod of justice.
Governments and law enforcement worldwide attempt to solve the “Kira” mystery, aided by the contributions of eccentric detective “L,” who narrows his field of search with extraordinary speed and turns the hunt for Kira into a face-to-face chess match between himself and Light. Complicating matters is the fact that Light’s father is the local chief of police, dedicated to finding Kira and insulated from reprisal by the familial bond between father and son.
Death Note suffers from wanting to pitch a second film at the same time as it packs too much content into the first one, a weird combo-platter error that threatens to ensure a sequel won’t be in particularly high demand. The adaptational sins committed against the source material feel like an uncharitable comparison – all adaptations need to be cut a bit of slack – but I do have to highlight the unnecessary whitewashing of the main characters. Nat Wolff’s frosted ‘do and perpetually gobsmacked expression don’t make for a convincing teen chessmaster, and the character as written is often lost and overwhelmed. The audience has to be told that Light is a smart guy, and by that time it’s much too late – we’ve seen sufficient evidence to the contrary.
Keith Stanfield’s detective antagonist character makes some rapid logical leaps, but is otherwise too flooded with contemporary morality to discuss matters as a “game” in the way that he does. The personality given to this version of the character affords him no excuses for not going after Light faster and with considerably more resources, and the “pursuit” is abrupt and lackluster. Light’s father is the most generic version of this kind of character, and the decision to ostracize him within his own police force undercuts the reason to bring him into the investigation at all. Then, of course, there’s Mia.
Basically a discount Kristen Stewart alternating between emo and psycho modes, Mia is Light’s girlfriend, brought in on his secret and quickly developing more affection for Kira than for the man behind the name. Mia’s all about escalation, and her often idiotic bloodlust forces the plot to move forward faster than the writers are able to keep on top of. She’s exactly the kind of character one expects to be added to an adaptation. That’s not a compliment.
As for Willem Dafoe, you couldn’t ask for a better Ryuk – but you also won’t get a lot of him. He spends more time chuckling darkly than anything else, and the rest of his screen time feels poorly employed. The natural humor of the character, as well as the naturally macabre qualities of a ghastly death god, fade away to reveal more generic antagonism and an unexplained desire to see more mayhem, to the point that he often asks Light to surrender the Note so a less discriminating holder may be selected. It’s a conflict that doesn’t need to exist, and that’s really what the whole film boils down to: given source material driven by a singular and top-notch conflict between detective and criminal, this film feels the need to add in two more, in the process shorting the most interesting of the trio to shoehorn in romantic drama and unwarranted action scenes.
As a result, while I certainly can’t endorse the film – it’s not good – I find myself with an odd recommendation to make: if you’re considering whether to watch the film, it’s fine to do so if you’ve already gone through a better version. If, on the other hand, you’re not already familiar with the far superior source material, I’m fairly certain that Netflix’s lackluster effort will burn you on the real thing. That’s a pretty damning quality for an adaptation, but unfortunately that’s where we are. Netflix’s Death Note is a pale shadow of a better story given a disengaged Hollywood treatment that shows no affection for the quality product that ostensibly inspired it, a paint-by-numbers template to which some borrowed aesthetics were tied. This one’s not worth your time. It certainly wasn’t worth mine. | 2019-04-18T16:17:29 | http://themerlinfiles.com/death-note |
Love the video, and what a great idea!
My first question is this: how can I be certain, when I put the camera back in the casing and restore it to as best its original state as I can, that the lens and chip alignment is square within the camera and therefore square in the adaptor looking down the eyepiece tube at the secondary mirror?
Also, how do you make the video zoom in and out like that in the video when you are lining up the centre of mire de collimation with the crosshairs in SharpCap?
I also notice that when you zoom in, the graphics seems to 'lay down' or tilt a little, to make lining up more simple. How do you do that, too?
Many thanks, andd keep up the great work on the site? | 2019-04-19T08:30:08 | http://www.astronomyshed.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=177720 |

Kalypso certainly is known for making great games and making games great – but this time it’s a first for us as well!
Since the release of „Vikings – Wolves of Midgard“ players can enjoy the new action game that takes them to the Shores of Midgard, a world based upon the mythology and history of the Vikings, but with a fantasy twist. Our hero – either a ruthless shieldmaiden or a ferocious Viking warrior – has to fight against hordes of terrifying undead monstrosities.
„The music of the game is rather dark and sparse. The only track that breaks out is the main theme. The requirement was to combine these Nordic styles with a catchy hook and orchestral elements. It’s a track that has a recognition value and it should be striking to the listeners. The in-game music has a very acoustic touch and subtly supports the player in his/her action.“, says Matthias Wolf of Dynamedion.
And yes, the composers did a great job! Through the very special central theme – the soundtrack becomes versatile and multifarious. So it definitely pays off to listen to the tracks and dive into the world of Vikings.
The complete album as well as single tracks can be purchased worldwide via the usual suspects iTunes, Google Play Music, amazon and a fine selection of other stores.

Hi, I’m the author of this post, I saw that when I was writing this post, but I looked into it and Million Market was acquired by SM, so it’s now a subsidiary and SM will promote their artists and post them on their channels. I hope this helps!
He’s under million market ent but how come is he being promoted by SME? Just curious coz its a bit confusing to me.

The greatest historical architecture from the Roman Empire the Coliseum. This is the most ancient monument from Rome. The surface area of the Coliseum, which totals about 19,000 square meters, was arranged into four sections, each of which could hold up to 70,000 spectators. The Emperors box was placed in the centre from where he could decide the gladiators fate with a simple hand gesture. The underground area of the Coliseum was used to organize and create the settings for the games, such as how to make the ferocious beasts appear unexpectedly in the arena, bringing them up to the main area with an elevator hoist that was hidden in the sand.
Vatican City, officially State of the Vatican City is a landlocked sovereign city state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within the city of Rome and well worth a visit.
The Church of Santa Maria Antique is the oldest church in the Forum, and the nearby Church of San Pietro in Carcere is on the site of the Mammertime Prison, where St Peter is believed to have been imprisoned and to have created a miraculous stream of baptismal water. On the Aventine Hill, a beautiful yet marginally less visited spot, the 5th century Church of Santa Sabina has lovely carved wooden doors.
Few tourists know that within Romes medieval churches lie some of the most beautiful Byzantine mosaics in Italy. Many decorate the apses of the cities important churches, including Santa Maria Maggiore, Santa Maria in Trastevere and San Clemente.
For the best view of the city, take a tip from the Romans and head up to the Pincio in Villa Borghese.
Rome offers a pretty good range of eateries. There are some excellent places providing typical Roman fare to suit a range of budgets, as well as some good, but usually fairly expensive, restaurants offering international cuisine such as Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Argentine.
One of the most typical Italian things to do in Rome is to break often for coffee. Italians pride themselves on their espresso and cappuccino. For a truly Roman experience coffee laced with brandy. Stay away from the tourist swamped areas around the Vatican and instead head for where the locals sip on the side streets off Piazza Navona and Campo de Fiori.
Enjoy a break and enjoy the views in a magnification city, with all it has to offer.

Firstly, I would say it is Abacus’ combination of Swedish design, function and quality. We create clothing with the active golfer in mind, so we are not a general sports brand in that sense. All of our details are there to make life easier and more enjoyable, both on and off course.
We make polos with different sleeve lengths, as well as skorts and shorts in different lengths. So hopefully our apparel attracts all active women, no matter how old they are.
Which colours and trends appear in the SS18 collection?
We have a classic black and white range (our signature colours) with some fashionable prints that never seem to go out of style.
We’ve also included a navy story with cherry blossom, oyster grey and some classical checks, as well as a flower print.
Lastly, we have a colour story with rosewater, steelblue and white, as well as a leaf print and a limited edition of pale flowers. This story is much more romantic than the other two and less sporty.
As always, our passion for golf and the life of golfers has influenced us. We are very grateful for all our ambassadors that continuously give us feedback on our apparel, so we are always working on ways to make it even better.
Also our Swedish heritage, nature and landscape is there to influence us and give us an idea of the weather conditions that our clothes will have to withstand.
Are you inspired by trends that are appearing in the fashion world?
but it’s starting to catch up.
How are the clothes designed to make life easier on the course?
We use materials that come with a lot of stretch and breathability, so they won’t hinder your swing.
Our waterproof trousers have a zip down the leg to make them easier to pull on if a shower comes quickly. Some of our items also carry anti-odor technology as well as UV protection.
We usually judge the clothing on if the user will think about them or not while they are wearing them, because if they thinking about them, it’s most likely to be because something is annoying or uncomfortable.
We want our golfers to be able to focus on their game and nothing else.
Are many of the pieces suitable to wear on and off the course?
Lots of our customers use our apparel for other activities like horseback riding, cycling, running, or walking.
Or if you prefer a more formal look that’s appropriate to wear for work before a round we have the Wade shirt or the Milano merino sweater.
The Wade shirt looks like a formal shirt but it’s made with a pique knit, which is much more stretchy and comfortable than a woven shirt. The Milano sweater is one of our classics that never goes out of style. | 2019-04-23T12:55:01 | https://www.lady-golfer.com/news/influenced-swedish-heritage-nature-landscape/ |
A newly opened downtown extended-stay hotel was heading into the summer months with virtually no business on the books. The owner and brand team suggested that more volume corporate business and leisure packages be sold to increase the forecasted occupancy of 45% for July and August.
1. Volume corporate would require special rates beyond August and would dilute the Average Daily Rate (ADR) for the busy autumn months. It would also be difficult to get the companies to encourage its travelers to change hotels in such a short period of time. The off-season was six months away, which would give the Sales Team time to put group business on the books.
2. Selling leisure packages made sense but they alone wouldn’t bring the occupancy up to the desired level. The solution that Gordon recommended was to lower the Best Available Rate (BAR) rates by $40 and get the message out through all available channels to increase the occupancy. Then, after the summer was over the rates would be increased to their previous level.
The hotel increased BAR rates by $40 in September. Because they didn’t have contracted low-rated volume corporate, they were able to see a substantial increase in ADR without losing occupancy. September occupancy was 92.0%, ADR was $182.52 with a RevPAR of $167.92. The sales team did indeed book group business for the off-season and the hotel has since continued to lead its competitive set in RevPAR index for 5 years. | 2019-04-18T22:54:05 | http://lagunastrategicadvisors.com/extended-stay-hotel/ |

People have conflicts about every issue under the sun, but none of them are as difficult and emotional as those that fall under the umbrella of family law. Whether you are getting a divorce, fighting for child support, or trying to come up with custody arrangements, it is an area of life that is so deeply personal that it is almost impossible to make objective and rational decisions on your own. When you find yourself caught up in these types of legal problems and you feel overwhelmed, you should turn to a Family Law Lawyer Oceanside for help.
In many ways, the most important service that a Family Law Lawyer Oceanside can offer is to be an objective outside observer to the situation. Even if you are entirely in the right when it comes to the law, you can mistakenly present yourself in a way that leaves room for a judge to come to another conclusion. Having guidance from someone who is not emotionally tied to the situation and who understands how family court works can help to keep you from making a serious mistake in how you present yourself and your situation. Since cases come down to the conclusions drawn by a judge, this often makes a critical difference in a client’s life.
Having a lawyer to walk you through the legal standards and the process can also help to keep you from doing anything that might unintentionally break the law. In the middle of a divorce, people sometimes move money around for entirely benign reasons, but do so in a way that might make it appear that they are trying to conceal funds from the courts. Parents in a custody may cross state lines to visit family for the weekend without realizing that the court has ordered that neither parent may leave the state without permission. These innocent mistakes can seriously hinder your ability to persuade a judge that you are in the right.
Family law attorneys, such as those at The Law Offices of Winifred Whitaker, have seen virtually every kind of difficult family situation that you can imagine. Their job is to help you take a difficult situation, sort through it to figure out what your legal options are, and then to do everything in their power to make sure that you get the results that you want in court. | 2019-04-18T10:25:59 | https://www.hubsite.biz/a-family-law-lawyer-in-oceanside-can-help-you-to-sort-out-a-tough-situation/ |

Anivor explores the potential of the human saliva beyond its bodily uses. By using human saliva to ferment an alcoholic beverage Anivor begins to blur the line of what can and cannot be used as a material. Anivor inspires a morbid curiosity that is caused by the disgust of the process and the natural inquisitiveness of viewers.
Using techniques that have been practiced for centuries paired with visuals that take inspiration from modern day alcohol packaging, Anivor aims to showcase saliva in a new light so as to challenge the social boundaries we place upon the relationship between our body and the wider world.
Showing the versatility of saliva, Anivor has engaged with persons from a range of disciplines. while also giving users the ability to craft original cocktails. These are based off the unique flavors that the body produces. Anivor allows users to taste new flavors while learning more about their physical selves.
Saliva contains an enzyme called Amylase. When Amylase is combined with starch, it creates sugar. To create alcohol one only needs to combine sugar and yeast. This fermentation process uses techniques that while may seem ‘gross’ use the material of ones own body to produce something new. | 2019-04-21T22:46:15 | https://www.sydneyschaefer.com/anivor/ |
In winter, warm, skid and comfortable snow boots have become the standard of many girls. At the same time, the Internet also spread many claims that wearing snow boots disabled, such as snow boots will lead to eight characters, arch collapse, foot deformity, high and low feet…… Does snow boots really have such a great harm?
On the snow boots for a long time to wear the cripple, the Internet is based on the materials both inside and outside the snow boots are very soft, the internal space is relatively large, after wearing the foot in the inside will slide, because the feet slide back and forth, the joints inside the feet will be worn. Thus the Domino domino effect: the ankle in the wrong position, the femur will also change the position, the movement in the pelvic bone will be abnormal, which will cause problems in the back, and this will cause irreversibly damage to the body in the past.
Huang Guangmin, the chief physician of the Institute of sports medicine of the State General Administration of sports, said that the snow boots were flat, soft and loose. From the principles of Medical Department of orthopedics, long wearing boots were likely to cause problems such as the strain of the tendons of the feet, but the possibility of disability was relatively small. On the Internet, it is said that snowy boots wear too long and will change into eight feet and arch collapse. In fact, all these are rumors. These diseases are mostly congenital and have nothing to do with shoes. | 2019-04-25T00:01:36 | http://www.themoth.co.nz/ugg-boots-sale/will-you-wear-snow-boots-for-the-whole-winter/ |
Newcastle Knights coach Nathan Brown was left to lament what could have been after his side let a first half lead slip to fall 22-12 to the resurgent Bulldogs at McDonald Jones Stadium.
A try to Dane Gagai cut the gap to six points before the Knights had a pair of four-pointers correctly turned down by the Bunker to spoil any hopes of sending the game into extra-time.
A lot of the focus after the game was on the decision to deny tries to Gagai and Sione Mata'utia, but Brown said the real reason his side lost was rookie mistakes in the key moments.
"At the end of the day, my biggest concern is what we can do better," Brown said.
"It was great to have all of our senior players on the one day perform at a level that I would like them to.
"Our younger players – everyone would agree – they've improved out of sight, but in key moments of the game today, a lot of them came up with some really crucial plays that had an impact on us losing the game."
Perhaps the biggest issue for the Knights was Canterbury's ability to absorb pressure and turn that into points on the counter-attack.
The Bulldogs scored two of their tries from that situation, with momentum swinging their way on the stroke of half-time when Brenko Lee scored 60 seconds after Knights five-eighth Brock Lamb butchered a try by not passing to an unmarked Ken Sio.
"Our response when we have a flat bit can certainly improve a bit," Brown said.
"That first half, our defensive part of the game on the goal line was great and we probably should have led 16-0.
"We dropped it over the line and the error with a minute to go before half-time… to then start the second half with a missed tackle for them to score had a huge impact on the game. A lot gets missed on what happened in between."
Bulldogs coach Des Hasler said there was a lot to like about the Knights who pushed his side up until the final whistle.
"You've got to give them a lot of credit. They're gutsy and they hang in there and they make you fight every step out of the way," he said.
"The Novocastrian supporters over here should be very proud of their side tonight." | 2019-04-22T10:03:02 | https://www.nrl.com/news/2017/04/08/rookie-errors-hurt-us-tonight-brown/ |

More than any other furniture maker, Jacob-Desmalter’s work embodied the spirit and diversity of the Empire style. His work was characterized by its inventive forms and the quality of its models, wood and bronze embellishments.
Georges I Jacob, a Parisian furniture maker specialized in chairs, worked for the royal household from the middle of the 18th century onwards. Towards the end of the Ancien Régime, he was one of the first to use mahogany to make chairs and beds.
In 1796 he founded a new furniture workshop under the name Jacob-Frères with his two sons, Georges II and François-Honoré-Georges. Following the abolishment of the French corporations during the Revolution, they were able to make chairs and other items of furniture as well as cabinet-making works.
Working in collaboration with the architects Percier and Fontaine, and the painter David, he made the furniture for the National Convention and the seats for the Committee of Public Safety, before working on the décor of the Château of Malmaison for the Bonaparte family and many other fashionable homes, such as that of Madame Récamier.
Upon the death of Georges II in 1803, the company's name was changed to Jacob-Desmalter (after the family property, Malterres, in Cheny in the Yonne department). It was the major furniture supplier for the imperial palaces and employed hundreds of workers (carpenters, cabinet-makers, sculptors, bronzesmiths, founders, engravers, etc.) until it went bankrupt in 1813. However, the furniture workshop lived on under the management of Alphonse Jacob-Desmalter until 1846, when it was taken over by Jeanselme. | 2019-04-24T12:31:02 | http://en.chateauversailles.fr/discover/history/great-characters/jacob-desmalter |

If you’ll try to accumulate coins and gems and then aim to unlock the resources, then this process would take months of hard work. So, you are left with the second option of making in-app purchases. Most of us would consider it as a bad idea to spend our hard-earned money in purchasing the game resources. Lucky Patcher Apk comes as a boon in such situations.

We are passionate about bringing the best out of riders' skills. Our main focus is to develop higher levels of competency on the roads to deal with todays congested conditions and achieve high levels of skill. It goes without saying that there is a greater degree of personal satisfaction and security that comes from becoming a more confident and safer motorcyclist.
The benefit of professional coaching is to engender "best practices" in your approach to riding, how you should be thinking and planning, controlling the machine and developing awareness of all those factors that will influence your progress, your personal safety and that of those around you.

WHAT ARE SNORING AND SLEEP APNOEA?
These terms describe different types of breathing disorders that occur during sleep.
Snoring describes noise caused by vibration of the tissues in the throat. It is usually the first sign that the airway may be partially obstructed. During sleep, muscles and tongue are relaxed and contribute to narrowing of airways. In some people this can restrict breathing and stop it completely for a brief moment. This interruption in breathing during sleep is called Sleep Apnoea. When this happens the brain will send a message that will cause a brief awakening, reopening of airways and then breathing restarts.
WHAT CAUSES SNORING AND SLEEP APNOEA?
Anything causing airway (throat) narrowing will increase the risk of snoring and sleep apnoea.
You are more likely to have sleep apnoea if you are obese as excessive fat tissue in the throat area will contribute to airway narrowing.
Common night symptoms associated with snoring and sleep apnoea are restless sleep, awakening with gasping or a choking feeling. During each apnoea episode heart rate and blood pressure will rise, eventually leading to increased blood pressure and associated risks of heart attack or stroke.
Common day symptoms associated with snoring and sleep apnoea include waking up with morning headache and dry mouth, excessive daytime sleepiness, lack of concentration, poor memory, lack of energy and endurance, mood changes, weight gain or difficulty in losing weight.
WHAT ARE TRADITIONAL TREATMENT OPTIONS?
Where appropriate lifestyle changes such as weight loss, reducing alcohol intake and cigarette smoking can all help prevent sleep apnoea and snoring.
Stop snoring mouth guards, snoring chin straps, antisnore pillows and snoring masks (CPAP) are all used attempts to improve symptoms of snoring and sleep apnoea.
Common issues associated with some of the traditional treatments are excessive salivation (drooling) with mouth pieces and altered bite, pain and dental problems.
Surgery is used in some cases to increase the size of the airways at the throat or nasal passages. Risks associated with the surgery and a low success rate in the long term makes surgery a less popular option .
WHAT IS NIGHTLASE SNORING AND SLEEP APNOEA LASER TREATMENT?
This is non-invasive medical laser treatment using superficial ErYag laser light.
During NightLase® treatment the laser light gently heats the tissues around the throat. This photo-thermal energy results in the formation of new collagen in mucosal tissues of soft palate, uvula and the throat opening. This causes a rise of the soft palate and improvement in the airway.
NightLase® medical laser procedure has high success rate in improving sleep patterns and quality of sleep. Tightening of tissues in the throat area leads to reduction of the snoring sounds and lessening of the symptoms of sleep apnoea.
In order to achieve optimal results a course of three separate 45 minute treatments over six weeks is recommended. Yearly booster treatments are advised to maintain the results.
Procedures involving medical laser will be performed on the following visits. Each procedure will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
You can leave immediately after the procedure and continue your daily routine. | 2019-04-24T02:21:39 | https://www.drmj.com.au/snoring-sleep-apnoea/ |

In 2012, Stride athlete Evelyn Stevens won the Flèche Wallonne, one of the most important annual races for professional female cyclists. Tomorrow, she'll be back in Belgium, competing in the race once again.
You’ve been based in Nice, France for the spring. How has that prepared you for the Ardennes/Flèche?
The riding in Nice is wonderful. There is a plethora of great training loops, wonderful climbs, and the views are incredible. The nice Mediterranean weather is a big plus as well. I am very fortunate and have found some wonderful people to train with, a great motorpacer, and a great person for sports massage. Any time you can train hard and recover just as hard, it is always a good recipe for racing.
Word on the street is that you’re training with the boys! What's that been like?
I have some great male and female training partners. One of the benefits of training with strong men (and women) is that you can hop on their wheel and it is like motorpacing. The best thing is when you find some solid training partners who push you on your rides and also who you have a fun time with on the bike. As professional cyclists we spend so many hours on the bike, so having good company makes your training better!
We noticed on Strava that you’ve been doing some simulated hill training on your trainer. What’s that all about?
I have been riding on this great virtual training program called Zwift. I love it for a rainy day or when I only have a short amount of time before I need to catch a flight. It is great; it gives you a sense of a riding community and some good competition, which help the time riding inside pass quickly!
What's the most transformative training tool that's influenced your riding?
I would have to say training with power from my Quarq is a hugely important part of my training. It allows me to see my data real time while riding and it also allows my coach, Neal Henderson, to monitor and analyze my training. The other really transformative training tool that has influenced my riding is always trying to work on my mental toughness and agility. It is one thing to be strong, but your mind and heart are what allow you to really deliver when it's important.
It is one thing to be strong, but your mind and heart are what allow you to really deliver when it's important.
You’ve said your move to a Dutch team after five years on US-managed teams isn’t much different for you. But has it changed your approach to the Ardennes? Is there a unique set of target races?
I have been lucky, both teams are both very professionally run, but the biggest difference this year is a bit different race schedule approach. This spring I have done a different set of races, some new ones and skipping some that I have done in the past.
Besides your team, what else is new for you this year?
Besides switching teams, the other big changes for this year have been working with Stride. My mind is definitely much more at ease this year when I am bombing down descents surrounded by a peloton of women. Additionally, I got engaged and will be getting married in October. 2015 has definitely started out as an exciting year!
How would it change your season if there was a women’s Amstel or Liege? Why isn’t there a women’s edition of each?
I think it would make the season more exciting for women's cycling; it would be another event to showcase the talent and depth of women's cycling. To be honest, I am not sure why there isn't a race for women. I hope, like many of the big one day classics, that they will also add a women's event in the future. Women's cycling is definitely on the up, and we are starting to see race organizers putting on more and more women events. It is definitely an exciting time to be a female professional cyclist and I am looking forward to being a part of its continued growth.
After your 2012 win, has Flèche Wallonne become an annual target race for you, or are there other targets that excite you more?
I love racing Flèche; I loved it even before I won it. I am also really excited for the Philly classic. This year it has returned to World Cup status and will definitely attract a lot of the top competition in the world. The Giro is one of my favorite stage races; it is 10 days and traverses all over Italy. I have never won it, and it would definitely be a dream to do well there. Lastly, I am super excited to race the World Championships this year on home soil! The Worlds will be held in Richmond, VA and it is the first time since 1988 that they have been in the US.
What will it be like racing against some of your former Specialized-Lululemon teammates who are competing for Team USA this year?
In the beginning of the season, there was definitely a second when I had to remember that they weren't my teammates in the race, but then I quickly realized that we were racing in different jerseys! But when I race with them on Team USA they are my teammates and we race great together. You spend a lot of time with your teammates and I have definitely remained close with a lot of my old teammates from Specialized-Lululemon.
Anything else we should know? Any tips to share with your fellow freelancers out there?
If you are like me, traveling all the time, putting yourself in precarious situations to fulfill your dreams and passions, and don't really understand how the healthcare system works or if you are even properly covered, take the time to check out Stride. It has definitely put my mind at ease as I have started my racing in 2015! | 2019-04-26T14:14:06 | https://blog.stridehealth.com/post/interview-evelyn-stevens |
The monastery was dead to Sotiris’ eyes and his senses; as though it lacked a key quality to indicate anyone living resided there. The building was not in disrepair, per say, and the small, stone building was well-kept and in decent condition.
However, since no one else said anything Sotiris decided to keep his mouth shut about it. The sense of relief at finally making it to their destination–in one piece and without incident–was too palpable for Sotiris to ruin with a groundless perception of the place. Just nerves, he repeated.
As they approached the stout, wooden door, it opened soundlessly and a robed figure stepped out from behind it. The man had his hood up and it partially concealed his face. Strange. Sotiris stamped down the suspicion that writhed in his gut like a handful of worms.
“Greetings, Lady Charis and companions, I am here to show you to the eldest of our order,” the monk said and bowed.
Lady Charis smiled, and the only indication of concern was the slight crease between her eyes.
“I have not seen you before,” she said.
“I am new here, Lady,” he replied, not too quick and without too great a delay. He raised his face just enough for Sotiris to get a look, but the late afternoon sun behind the monk and in Sotiris’ face, as well as the shadows in the man’s hood, made it difficult to get a good glimpse.
“Welcome to your order, young monk. We would be delighted if you showed us to the elder,” Lady Charis replied, the worry gone from her.
Damien had tensed up, but then relaxed once Lady Charis responded as she did.
The monk bowed and stepped out of the doorway to let them through first, and closed the door behind them once everyone was inside. The courtyard held a few monks going about their daily chores of cleaning and caring for their animals, and paid the group no mind as they made their way toward the quarters. Since Lady Charis showed no worry at their behavior it must have been normal, but Sotiris still swept his gaze slowly and constantly about their surroundings. The only way out was through the door they came in, and Sotiris was not comfortable having only one exit.
As they went inside toward the living quarters, the air did not grow warmer as one would expect. In fact, Sotiris shivered when they stepped inside, as though it were colder inside than out in the windblown courtyard. At this point even Zoe grew wary, and looked around, too.
They walked straight through to a small dining area, where a few monks were making dinner and another one sat at a table looking over a book. The only indication he was the elder monk came from the white sash about his waist, where the others simply used thick rope.
The group approached the table, and when Lady Charis curtsied the others followed with their respective motions.
“Honorable elder, as you requested we have come to retrieve the weapon,” Lady Charis said when she finished the curtsy. The man did not turn when they approached, and he did not turn when Lady Charis spoke.
Everyone frowned, and the young monk moved forward to touch the elder monk’s shoulder. When he gave a gentle shake, the elder monk toppled over backward onto the floor. The old man’s eyes, white from age, stared lifeless up at them, and the pain of his final moments were etched into every line on his face.
Zoe screamed, Lady Charis gasped, and the men cursed. The young monk threw back his hood and merely laughed, while the rest of the monks they’d passed in the courtyard joined the ones in the dining room. They’d suppressed their demonic aura, like with the help of the King.
Sotiris and Damien went for their weapons, but given the element of surprise the imposters drew theirs quicker, and had them pointed at the group. The fake who had let them inside pushed the old man’s face toward them with his foot, and clucked his tongue in disdain. His slender features were handsome, but twisted with cruelty. Ivory hair was pulled back in a loose tail of hair at the base of his neck, and his pale red eyes burned as though they were lit by the deepest fires of Abbadon.
“Who are you?” Damien demanded, and fairly glared holes into the man’s face.
“I am crestfallen you do not remember me, Paladin of the Spear, since I knew your wife so very well. Or, at least, my power did,” the half-demon said, with a wicked smirk to match.
Everyone in their group froze, including Damien.
“You lie. I laid waste to the forces that attacked us; there was no way on any of the planes that they escaped me that night,” Damien said, his voice tight, so sure of the truth.
The smirk never left the man’s face, and if anything it deepened. He simply raised his left hand and a whisper of power flowed over their skin. Flames manifested in the palm of his hand, like they were on the wick of a giant candle. It was then that Sotiris saw something he’d never seen before—Damien flinched.
“What of it?” Sotiris asked, and came to the defense of someone he’d come to view as the proverbial guillotine that remained just above his neck. “Many of the Orpheus Society wield fire; it’s almost as common as water in a swamp,” he spat.
“Well, at least that establishes you are lying, and possibly insecure in your power,” Sotiris quipped, and Damien looked at him.
The last thing Sotiris saw before someone smashed his head from behind was a mixture of hope and relief on Damien’s face, and then there was nothing but darkness.
His dreams came in snippets of sound and memories, mixed with nightmares and hopes. His mother’s laughter; Charis’ fingers brushing his chest; the look of loathing on every Disciples face except a rare few; and the battlefield from the future.
It was there on that battlefield he remained, though it was a dream: the stage was set, but no one was there but him and someone who stood beside him. Each time he tried to turn toward his companion, his vision would skew and the scene would shift his focus away.
“You must be someone of very high, or very low, importance,” Sotiris said, but the person did not answer.
Out of his peripheral, the figure waved its arm and his companions, plus a couple relations, materialized before him. There was Gregory, Damien, Charis, Zoe, Elias, and his mother. His mother and Elias were slightly opaque, and he guessed this was a representation of their demise. At the thought, the figure nodded and the scene changed. His mother and grandfather stood at the beginning of the road and at the other end stood his four companions at the beginning of four branches. At their feet was the shadowy form of a sword, and beyond them on the roads were four different, solid swords.
It didn’t take a genius to understand the implication: the death of his mother and grandfather, the two people in his life that loved him the most and with the most power, started him on the road he found himself today. The road to gain the weapon but not have it.
The death of one of his four companions would determine the manifestation of the sword and its power. Beyond Damien the sword was consumed with the burning of vengeful fire, terrible for the enemy to behold and all-consuming for the wielder.
Gregory’s sword was practical, strong, but lacked a sense of conviction in killing the enemy. The same feeling that caused the man to flee to the astral plane in the first place.
Zoe’s sword was barely more than a normal sword, and though it would prove a steadfast blade, it would not be suited to decimating the armies of the Orpheus Society.
Lastly, Charis’ blade was a masterpiece of beauty and art, and would heal allies but do nothing to help battle and kill demons.
“Double-edged swords, eh?” Sotiris joked, but it held no humor.
“CHOOSE WISELY,” the voice boomed through him, and his mind nearly crumbled under such a voice.
“Now I understand why you played the strong, silent type,” Sotiris replied, and rubbed his aching temples.
The Archangel made no comment, but the slightest trickle of humor rolled off them. It was not the Lord of Light, as there would be nothing but a pile of quivering ooze left if He had spoken.
“Is it necessary that I choose one of them? What happens if I kill the demon that captured us instead?” Sotiris mused.
The Archangel said nothing, but the emotion Sotiris sensed did not bode well if he made such a choice.
“How can I make that choice? None of them deserve this end,” Sotiris said bitterly, as the weight of his decision settled on his shoulders and mind.
The Archangel gave no indication for a yea or nay, but instead placed a comforting hand on Sotiris’ shoulder.
The dream-vision dissolved around him.
“How can I choose?” Sotiris mumbled, and then he heard a gasp from near him.
“He is coming around,” Lady Charis said excitedly, but kept her voice low.
Sotiris cracked open an eyelid, and the torchlight in the small room illuminated the faces of his four companions.
“You had the Light surround you after they placed us in here. You were Visited by an Archangel, if the power coming from you was any indication. What were you told?” Damien asked as he crouched near Sotiris.
“I…” he started, but looked at each of their faces, and anguish welled within him.
“Please, Sotiris, just tell us,” Lady Charis whispered, as the sense of foreboding permeated the air around them.
“They told me to get the weapon I have to kill one of you.” All his words were a murmur, but the word kill came out harsh and damned.
They let the words sink in for a moment.
“Oh, dear,” Lady Charis said, breathless. | 2019-04-24T04:11:07 | https://legendsofthewordsmiths.com/2016/12/27/and-they-say-that-a-demon-can-save-us-chapter-eight/ |

Are you a child of the 80s? Then you’ve probably heard of The Psychedelic Furs. Their song “Pretty in Pink” was included in the John Hughes film of the same name, rocketing them to fame. After a few successful albums throughout the 80s and early 90s, the Furs went on haitus in order to focus on side projects.
Psychedelic Furs guitarist Rich Good joined up with the band in 2009, after a reunion was already underway. Already having made a name for himself in his band The Pleased (with bandmates Joanna Newsom and Noah Georgeson), Rich added his new-wave guitar playing skills to the band.
Aside from being a huge Guild fan, Rich is also quite the photographer, constantly snapping pics of his Guild Starfire III in Black while on the road. We thought we’d take a second to share a few of our favorite photos he’s taken on the Furs’ current tour and a few of Rich’s thoughts on Guild, guitar playing, and gigging.
GG: When did you start playing music? What was your first instrument? Do you still have it?
RG: I started way back a thousand years ago when i was 11. First guitar I touched was an old Zenith cello style acoustic that had been previously beheaded. I still have that and the first nylon string my parents got me – who can let the first love go? I learned The Shadows songs.
GG: How has your style of playing evolved over the years?
RG: I’ve really just let music take its own path with me; I should be more technically knowledgable with the years I’ve been playing… but I’ve spent most of that time seeking out creativity that isn’t bound by rules. I think that’s where you find players with their own unique sound. There’s some wonderful music made by ‘non-players’… So evolution probably went backwards for me; my heroes switched from from Van Halen to Keef to Roxy to Spacemen 3!
GG: When did you first encounter Guild? What was that experience like?
RG: Probably seeing Cake in London in the 90s. Greg (Brown) blew my 21 year old mind – truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing to witness live. A silvertone 1484, Starfire III and a RAT – Pure. Simple. Dirty. Needless to say I have collected all three of those items. I actually got to record with Greg on a Golden Shoulders record a while back – I played his Starfire for a minute while he rolled the tape.
GG: What draws you to the Guild Starfire? Do you use it on certain songs, or to get a certain tone/vibe?
RG: BB King was my first concert. He made me realize that you could destroy without being Van Halen… Beyond that perhaps my standouts were two shows with bands I didn’t know: Stereolab opening for Pulp in ’95ish, and the Flaming Lips at the Brat Awards 96; both bands blandly received but both were life changers for me – the light switched on. Spiritualized always. Roxy Music was epic… Last year I saw Savages in San Francisco and it was a breath of fresh air.
GG: How did you get involved with the Pyschedelic Furs? Did you have any problems adjusting to their sound, or was a perfect match from the beginning?
RG: I got to know the band in 2004 when my old group The Pleased opened up a six week tour for them. There was a lot of common ground with them musically. I ended up playing Virginia Plain with them on the last night of the tour. I believe that was my audition? It wasn’t until five years later that I was asked to join the band… Their manager kept calling me and I thought they wanted a website or a poster design or something. John and I are similar players in that great parts and melodies are important, solo’s less so. I’ve had more fun than you can imagine developing my perfect Furs sound – I must’ve been through a hundred pedals – constantly evolving it.
GG: Future plans…any other Guild models you’re eyeing/hoping will be reissued? More touring?
RG: You people really should bring back that Thunderbird – what a genuinely radical design! I just did my first Furs tour with the new Starfire III – absolutely loved it but i’m interested to try the V to help when I run real high-gain overdrive.
We’re out again in August through September with The Church, we’re writing songs, I’m also writing my own stuff and need to get that project into a live situation soon. That, and to enjoy life generally.
More on The Psychedelic Furs here, including upcoming tour dates. Check out Rich’s other projects, Mirrors and Kings and Queens to get more of that new wave sound! | 2019-04-26T05:12:22 | http://1440pacific.guildguitars.com/g/rich-good-psychedlic-furs/ |
1. To make a team you must have three people to join the team +yourself. When you create your team's topic, please try and have them post in in that they actually do want to join that team. Once those three people do, it will be ready for approval.
2. You can only have one team at a time, so if you do not like the team you are in please disband it first and inform a mod and all your members.
3. Don't be completely foolish with this. Try to adhere to the spirit of the RPG and the Gundamverse. I don't mind people being a little silly if it's their preference, its THEIR team, but don't be so immature or profane that I have to hand out warnings or Bans.
4. We want you to enjoy your team and enjoy this feature, its there for your fun! So just be respectful of everyone else and the mods, follow the rules like everything else, and have fun. | 2019-04-22T10:13:52 | http://msrpgmk3.forumotion.com/t21-team-creation-rules |

After I came across this silver fabric at Walmart for 1.50 a yard, I knew this would be the perfect time to try my hand at a rose wreath. I had seen many of them, and had viewed several tutorials on how to make the roses.
If I am being honest....these rose were kind of a pain to make. I think it was probably because of my fabric choice. The fabric was a little firm, but also a little slippery. I used a hot glue gun because it was too difficult to get a needle through the layers. If I had chosen a little easier fabric to work with, it probably wouldn't have been so bad.
Having said all that, I do love the wreath, and am glad I made it even though it was a little bit of a pain. | 2019-04-18T21:38:13 | http://www.redflycreations.com/2011/12/silver-rose-wreath.html |

CHICAGO � The amounts of compensation subject to railroad retirement tier I and tier II payroll taxes will increase in 2019, while the tax rates on employers and employees will stay the same. In addition, unemployment insurance contribution rates paid by railroad employers will continue to include a surcharge of 1.5 percent.
Tier I and Medicare Tax � The railroad retirement tier I payroll tax rate on covered rail employers and employees for 2019 remains at 7.65 percent. The railroad retirement tier I tax rate is the same as the social security tax, and for withholding and reporting purposes is divided into 6.20 percent for retirement and 1.45 percent for Medicare hospital insurance. The maximum amount of an employee�s earnings subject to the 6.20 percent rate increases from $128,400 to $132,900 in 2019, with no maximum on earnings subject to the 1.45 percent Medicare rate.
An additional Medicare payroll tax of 0.9 percent applies to an individual�s income exceeding $200,000, or $250,000 for a married couple filing a joint tax return. While employers will begin withholding the additional Medicare tax as soon as an individual�s wages exceed the $200,000 threshold, the final amount owed or refunded will be calculated as part of the individual�s Federal income tax return.
Tier II Tax � The railroad retirement tier II tax rates in 2019 will remain at 4.9 percent for employees and 13.1 percent for employers. The maximum amount of earnings subject to railroad retirement tier II taxes in 2019 will increase from $95,400 to $98,700. Tier II tax rates are based on an average account benefits ratio reflecting railroad retirement fund levels. Depending on this ratio, the tier II tax rate for employees can be between 0 percent and 4.9 percent, while the tier II rate for employers can range between 8.2 percent and 22.1 percent.
Unemployment Insurance Contributions � Employers, but not employees, pay railroad unemployment insurance contributions, which are experience-rated by employer. The Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act also provides for a surcharge in the event the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Account balance falls below an indexed threshold amount. The accrual balance of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Account was $118.1 million on June 30, 2018. Since the balance is less than the indexed threshold of $150.1 million, a 1.5 percent surcharge will be added to the basic contribution rates for 2019, but will not increase the maximum 12 percent rate. There was also a surcharge of 1.5 percent the previous four years, with no surcharge in 2013 and 2014. | 2019-04-21T18:57:52 | https://www.ble-t.org/pr/news/headline.asp?id=52059 |
Sometimes you read glowing testimonials and assume there's a geek in the corner of the office who has been given the job of making them up. DBPix sounded too good to be true but it lives up to expectations and more.
There are hundreds of on-line 'experts' ready to tell you that 'you can't do this in Access' - I know, I trawled through them! I also tried a bunch of poorly executed attempts at doing what DBPix does so effortlessly.
It's the only image add-in you'll ever need for MS Access and it saved my life and my reputation with my daughter. I told her it would be a breeze to integrate her scanned fabric samples in her Access 2003 database and it was - when, at the last minute, I discovered DBPix.
DBPix has proven itself to be a very solid, flexible & reliable control.
I have been programming in Access for 12 years now and this is by far the most useful 3rd party application I have ever seen!
I just wanted to get back to you and let you know that it works brilliantly! Thanks again for all your help and attention to detail. It is very refreshing to work with people who are so conscientious and competent.
Just wanted to say that you've come up with an outstanding image product.
One of the best products I have ever used - worth every penny!
Your application is truly amazing and I appreciate your prompt reply.
Thank you! It works beautifully now. Thanks to your great product and personalized support I went from database design to delivery in less than a week!
It's a great control that really fills an important hole in Access.
Gobsmacking is one word that springs to mind. Astonishing is another. Downloaded the freebie, and it does *everything* I wanted, and more. And I only had to write one line of code (and even I can manage that). Oh, and the same 60+ image files loaded in around 1/20th of the time, and are currently consuming a mere 260K, instead of 100Mb+. Extraordinary. You live and learn, I guess.
Worked great! We have over 10,000 pictures for our City Assessor database. Your program is by far the easiest and best I've ever seen. No way was it possible without your program. I searched and searched and without a doubt there is nothing like it; period!
Very pleased with the product. 'Elegant minimalism' is the phrase I think.
I have never had such a helpful in-depth reply from any help team, thank you very much.
Thank you very much for your carefully considered advice which I will certainly take on board. Your assistance so far BEFORE I have purchased your product is very encouraging indeed. It is most refreshing to get support who really tries to look at what someone is attempting to do and then give very good response. Not just a standard sort of email that comes out with half-addressed information to the original request placed. So in the future I know I will be helped in a professional manner by support when I have purchased and registered the software.
Particularly helpful advice was the piece about carefully considering the decision to create a directory structure for categories (flowers, animals etc) - I would certainly have given myself headaches if you had not guided my away from what I was going to do.
Brilliant advice to date- many thanks. Not long now before I will purchase DBPix.
Thank you so much for all your help...I must say you have been the most helpful and patient tech support I have ever worked with!
My client loved the DBPix-enabled drag & drop image loading, and especially the zoom and manipulation features.
Thanks for your help. I really like your product.
It is very rare that a company is so helpful before you purchase their product.
I want to sincerely express my appreciation for your top-quality support of my initial learning questions. I really think you are a cut way above the normal, not only in your prompt responses, but also the excellent quality of your responses.
DBPix is a very fine product and I am very happy to have found it.
Thanks for the very quick reply. Your service is as good as your product.
Love your product! Saved me a ton of programming time.
Amazing ! You just helped me solve a huge problem.
The combination of a great product plus prompt support has saved us heaps of time for this project. Thanks again.
Incredible product, thanks a lot - you save me a lot of time.
Yes !!! You nailed what I suspected from the beginning. Btw, your code worked great! Your assistance has been terrific. Thank you for your kindness, patience, accuracy, and responsiveness! Sign of a true professional !
Thank you for your prompt and most helpful reply. It's refreshing that you have taken the time to think about my questions and give such an insightful and honest response. I will be recommending your product far and wide whether we end up choosing it for ourselves or not.
Thanks very much for this reply - You helped me obtain a lot of understanding.
Thanks! This new version seems great! | 2019-04-21T10:39:58 | http://www.ammara.com/testimony.html |

"Geez Wes, what have you been doing?" "What's happened in the last five years, ten years, fifteen years?"
I've been getting a lot of that lately. Facebook, in it's vast expanse across the web void, has magically connected me to people I haven't seen in years. It's kind of the High School Reunion syndrome where most of the people you'd actually want to keep in contact with you've... well, kept in contact with. There's been some pleasant surprises but it's also connected me with 3 ex girlfriends, ex workmates looking for jobs, ex brothers in the Lord that remind me of what a legalistic "us and them" doctrine jerk I was, relatives I didn't know I had, people wanting to sell me stuff based on my interests... you get the idea.
I was bad enough at not keeping up with close friends. Facebook for some reason has given me a steady stream of 1-2 people a week that are checking in and expecting a response.
The flip side is that it's validated having hundreds of extremely shallow relationships with people. If I'm faithful enough to actually reply I'll skip the whole "got married, went back to school, left a predictable computer job, worked for non profits, did indie movie work stuff, traveled and met people all over the world, moved 3 times, got a predictable job again, hit a couple long mid life depressive episodes,then found inner peace" part and just say: I'm great! I went fishing last week.
I don't know how many times I've stopped by the grocery store after work or on a Saturday morning and had to dodge hundreds of people white knuckling coupons and playing shopping cart bumper cars. The solution I've discovered is to go to Cub Foods at 4:00AM and beat the crowds.
The 4 AM sweet spot was almost spooky. There was NO ONE there. Convenient, because I was running late. I was up until 1 AM, then had to get up at 4 AM to grab doughnuts and drive up to my wife's brothers house to then carpool another hour or so to the designated fishing spot.
As much as I looked like cat sick warmed up in the microwave, and felt even worse, there is one benefit to morning fishing. Doughnuts. You can always drink beer at lunch like afternoon and evening fishing but morning fishing opens up the doughnut options. If anyone is reading this outside of yankee land I'd be curious to hear the breakfast options in your culture. You Aussies can get away with Beer as a side dish for any meal imaginable. I have to assume it's because you don't have doughnuts.
I'll disband the myth right now. Freezing in the dark so you can be on the lake ahead of the mornign sun and get the jump on the fish is just an excuse by old men who want to escape before their wives give them the Saturday to do list. Fish sleep in.
I ended up fishing with my wife's brother and two cousins who are all seasoned fisherman. I was a fat dumb and happy fisherman who was happy to feel something pulling on the end a couple times so size didn't matter. One juicy bass and someone to clean it was enough to proclaim success and hit the bar for lunch.
Great to hear form you. Yes, it's been forever. Me? What have I been doing? Well - I went fishing last weekend. Yea. That's about it. Hmmm, it was good enough for the Zen masters, kept many of my Viking kin folk alive... even Christ himself did it so yea, I'd say that's a strong example of my life and that's just fine with me.
Time for a tasty bass. | 2019-04-22T12:42:39 | http://scrappedmovie.blogspot.com/2008/10/ |

Although subsea fields have been developed in ice gouge environments, such as the Grand Banks, consideration of alternative methods for protecting subsea infrastructure is of great importance. A more in-depth understanding of ice feature mechanical behavior and interaction with subsea infrastructure is required. For various iceberg shapes and loading conditions, the finite element models presented in this paper examine the interaction of free-floating ice features with protective structures located above or partially above the mudline. A preliminary assessment of an interaction scenario involving a gouging iceberg keel with a buried protection structure is also presented. The outcome of this study enhances understanding of the primary factors to be considered for the design of protection structures in ice environments and highlights some of the technical issues associated with the development and calibration of advanced simulation tools. Introduction For conventional design scenarios, protection schemes have been developed for pipelines and subsea wellheads that include rock placement, mattresses, and structural frames comprised of steel or concrete (e.g. | 2019-04-21T10:12:39 | https://search.spe.org/i2kweb/SPE/doc/onepetro:E5B425AD/ |

Special Thanks to Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.
Schönbrunn Palace is a unique Baroque synthesis of the arts consisting of the former residence of the Habsburgs and its surrounding gardens and park, which cover an area of over 1.5 square kilometres. From 1569 to the end of the monarchy in 1918, the estate was in the ownership of the Habsburgs, one of the pre-eminent ruling dynasties of Europe.
Schönbrunn was to experience its most glorious epoch from 1760 during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, when it became the centre of court and political life. The Baroque décor of the palace from this time has largely been preserved in its original state. At the end of the monarchy Schönbrunn Palace passed into the ownership of the Republic of Austria and was opened to the public shortly afterwards. In 1996 the palace and its park as an ensemble were designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.
Today visitors to Schönbrunn can gain an authentic impression of the imperial lifestyle in the state rooms and residential apartments of the palace, all furnished in faithful period detail. Forty of the 1,441 rooms in the palace are open to the public. The tour begins with the residential suites of Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Elisabeth in the west wing of the palace, continuing through the state rooms in the middle range and the apartments occupied by Maria Theresia. In the east wing visitors can view the Franz Karl Apartments, once lived in by the parents of Emperor Franz Joseph, Archduchess Sophie and Archduke Franz Karl. The range of décors encountered on the tour is characteristic of the lifestyles, atmosphere and ideology of the imperial era.
The gardens and park with their imposing architectural elements have also largely been preserved in their original state and may be explored by visitors. The Neptune Fountain, Obelisk Fountain, Roman Ruin and above all the Gloriette, which stands on a visual axis with the palace and affords a view over the entire grounds, constitute the defining features of the gardens, which were designed as a continuation of the palace’s stately interiors.
Since 1992 there has been a huge increase in visitor numbers at Schönbrunn Palace. In 2014 there were more than 3.02 million admissions to the palace and garden attractions (compared with 1.2 million in 1993). Schönbrunn Palace is thus Austria’s most frequently visited tourist attraction. Another six million people annually use the freely accessible park, which is not just a tourist attraction but an important recreational amenity for the city’s residents.
Since the palace and its grounds were hived off from federal administration in 1992, funds for its maintenance and revitalization have been generated by the operating company, Schloss Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H. (SKB), from low-impact tourism. The circumstance that the palace and its park can today be seen largely in their original state is due to the most intensive phase of construction since the Baroque complex was built.
Apart from repairs carried out to remediate the worst of the damage that occurred during the Second World War, very little in the way of building maintenance had been undertaken for several decades. Since the inception of the SKB a comprehensive and continuous programme of construction has been instituted to conserve and/or restore the palace complex as faithfully as possible to its original state. In order to explore the history of the buildings on this site and to guarantee that renovation has the least possible impact on the historic substance, the SKB carries out its own programme of research. Since 1992 a total of over EUR 200 million has been invested.

Lederer Property described itself as the specialist place-making and urban renewal division of Lederer Group.
With a property portfolio across NSW, including retail, office, residential and industrial, Lederer Property is committed to the active management of these assets and the delivery of development projects that elevate and optimise destinations to their fullest potential, and that generate positive social, economic and cultural benefits for their communities.
Building on a history of business success, chairman Paul Lederer leads Lederer Group in bringing together a number of leading cross sector businesses and brands including Lederer Property, Tomkin, a leading supplier of quality cookware and dining ware to the Australian hospitality industry, and Tuscany Cheese, a producer of premium cheese.
Lederer is also the chairman and majority owner of the Western Sydney Wanderers. The new Gosford Alive precinct is designed to actively promote the health and wellbeing of the community with inclusion of a proposed medical centre, gym and childcare centre.
Transit-Oriented Development principles will connect the precinct seamlessly to existing public transport nodes and promote walkability. Mr Marek Ristwej, general manager of property at Lederer Property, said the vision for Gosford Alive represents the start of an exciting new era for the city.
“With Gosford Alive we’re proud to contribute to the NSW Government’s vision to establish Gosford as the capital of the Central Coast,” Mr Riswej said. “Gosford Alive is a game changer for the city, which will transform the CBD into a welcoming vibrant place that will attract residents and make the community proud,” he said.

Many local residents end up in nursing homes after a hospital stay. Each Chicago nursing home lawyer at our firm knows that the impetus to help a loved one enter a skilled nursing facility is often a major health crisis that reveals that the senior is not longer able to live safely at home. Frequently, a family is forced to frantically work to find the right facility before their loved one is discharged from the hospital so that the senior has a place to go right away that will provide the necessary care.
Considering the fact that many residents go directly from hospital to nursing homes, “hospital readmission rates” have become an important indicators of the quality of care provided at certain long-term care facilities. This refers to the number of residents who experience medical problems that require hospitalization in a set period of time after being discharged from the hospital to the nursing home.
Of course, our Illinois nursing home neglect lawyers appreciate that certain factors have to be considered when analyzing these rates. For one thing, the comparison only works if the health level of residents at these facilities is generally the same across facilities. If one facility somehow took all residents with more severe medical conditions then it wouldn’t be fair to point fingers at the facility for high readmission rates-the readmission level would be somewhat expected. Yet, skewed admissions are not common, and, if they do exist, they can usually be controlled.
Therefore, it is no surprise that new programs are popping up seeking to tie nursing home reimbursements to hospital readmission rates. As described in a story last week at McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, these efforts are growing in popularity as part of overall changes in healthcare reform.
The story explains how these readmissions are quite costly-significantly contributing to the rise in overall healthcare costs. One health consultant explained how partnerships between hospitals and skilled nursing providers-including bundled payments-are likely to increase in the coming years. “Obamacare,” or the Affordable Care Act, mandated certain payment related punishments for high readmission rates. However, advocates say that this focus on hospital readmission rates will persist regardless of whether the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the constitutionality of the bill.
While balancing budgets is obviously a universal goal, it is important to understand how this culture change will contribute or not contribute to rates of nursing home neglect and abuse. On one hand, it is obviously better if residents need less hospitalization following admittance to a nursing home. On the other hand, it is important that these facilities not sacrifice resident care in order to avoid increasing their readmission rate. We understand that sometimes facilities are unsure of whether to send a resident to the hospital for a potential problem. Failure to ensure that the senior receives timely medical care is often the different between life and death for some residents. Nursing homes must be held accountable if they are ever influenced in their treatment of residents because of profit concerns. | 2019-04-23T04:26:05 | https://blog.levinperconti.com/reducing_hospital_readmission/ |
Three people have been arrested after a stolen reefer trailer from Mississaugua was recovered in Colborne, Ont.

Editing a gaming video is just as important as editing any other video. No one wants to upload their content that looks unpolished. Thus, to upload a quality video on YouTube, Vimeo, or any other similar platform, it must be edited appropriately. To edit game videos, users need a trusted and expert gaming editor software.
Although there are plenty of such programs available online, it can still be challenging to find the right one. For quality editing, users need a professional quality game editor software that comes loaded with features. Here’s a quick list of some of the best game editor software based on their features, efficiency, and usefulness.
Blender, as it says, gives users the creative freedom with their game videos. It’s a free yet powerful game editing software that comes packed with features.

A workflow that analyzes ~900 genomes (cumulative coverage ~4000). Starting from billions of 100bp paired-end reads by Illumina GenomeAnalyzer II, the whole workflow is comprised of several different sub-workflows: the read filtering sub-workflow (whose main program is a custom-written java program based on GATK libraries), the read alignment sub-workflow (main program is bwa [Li et al. 2009], stampy[Lunter et al. 2011] used in test), the base-quality-score-recalibration sub-workflow by GATK [DePristo et al. 2011], the genotype-calling sub-workflow by SAMtools [Li et al. 2009] and GATK [DePristo et al. 2011], the pedigree calling sub-workflow (main program is TrioCaller [Chen et al. 2012]), and other sub-workflows that carry out the variant-filtering and statistics-calculation (Transition/Transversion, allele-frequency, Mendelian inconsistency, population genetic measures such as nucleotide diversity, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium p-value, linkage disequilibrium). All workflows interact with the vervet postgreSQL database seamlessly through sqlalchemy/elixir. The workflows were constructed in a MapReduce manner using APIs from the Pegasus workflow management system to take full advantage of the parallel computing power in most clusters. The end-result is a powerful and flexible system that is capable of utilizing the full power of a computing cluster. The main code could be found at http://code.google.com/p/vervet-web/.

It is widely acknowledged that effective feedback is informative, constructive, specific, non-judgmental, and timely (e.g. Boud & Associates 2010). However, in a time were student numbers are increasing and study periods are shortened, the traditional routes of providing written feedback could affect the timeliness and accessibility of feedback to students. Consequently, it has been suggested that technology can play a role in addressing these concerns and facilitate effective and timely feedback which is easily accessible from any personal computer (Ball et al. 2009). This could potentially advantage students, facilitating their engagement and influencing future academic and professional performance.
This case study initiative was conducted as part of the multi-institutional Y1Feedback project (www.y1feedback.ie), which was funded by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning. We aimed to provide good quality feedback that is accessible to General Nursing students when they are off-campus on clinical placement. These students typically spend half of each semester in college and half on clinical placement. The challenge for lecturers is that by the time assignments are submitted students typically are heading off-campus on placement, making it difficult to access feedback and lecturers.
In this presentation, we will share our experiences and challenges of using Turnitin via Moodle for providing timely and accessible feedback to students. The feedback obtained from our students indicates that while they used a range of technologies to access their feedback, the difficulties they experienced in locating their feedback will be explored. This presentation concludes with recommendations and considerations for future directions.

3. Then, start an implementation project. Get the students working on pieces. The goal of each project is a robust, distributable prototype, not something that can be carried intact to commercialization.
4. Allow students to identify their own aspect of the broader problem area on whose difficulties they will focus. Students develop their own ideas, which form the core of their thesis, and are able to validate the ideas by installing them in the larger system.
It is sad that many research-funding agencies, such as DARPA, have become so “mission-oriented” recently. While it may be possible to support a Ph.D. student doing part of a project implementation, Step 4 is left out; there is no room on the project for a student to explore original work outside the boundaries of the project. For example, I have heard from several independent sources that while the European Union has been supporting “research” generously, the support is sufficiently constrained by concrete deliverables that there is no way to support Step 4 on the projects. In countries where Ph.D. support comes from a state source, this arrangement presents no serious impediment. However, in countries where Ph.D. students are dependent on project support, it becomes hard to train first-rate researchers.
a few years, and can resume work on a doctorate if they wish.
Sergey Brin never asked me whether or not he should quit the Ph.D. program and found Google, but I would have told him to do so had he asked. Another student, Anand Rajaraman, did ask my advice on this matter when he was about half a year from finishing. I told him to leave and be a founder of Junglee. The venture was quite successful. A few years later he returned to Stanford, started an entirely new thesis topic that abstracted some of what he had learned at Junglee, and is now Dr. Rajaraman.
You don’t have to be in Silicon Valley to think about startups. Great ideas can develop anywhere, and a responsible advisor will, when appropriate, present to their students the option that their work might form the basis of a commercial venture. I recall an email message from a student at another school asking the question: “can a piece of work be both a thesis and useful?” When I replied in the affirmative, I was then asked to explain this point to their advisor. That advisor was serving the student poorly, although their attitude seems fairly common. Even in the course of reviewing this Viewpoint, I encountered the view that a piece of technical work is more to be admired if it cannot be commercialized.
Of the various things I’ve done in my career, I am most proud of my 53 Ph.D. students and their academic descendants (see infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/ pub/jdutree.txt; also see the photo appearing on the first page of this Viewpoint). Many have done things I could never do myself, and done so remarkably well. Each has brought unique talents to their work, and it has, for me, been an education just to watch them. I’d like to imagine that I contributed to their success, although I’m pretty sure that the only thing I really did was stay out of their way so they could realize their own potential.

Patricia Ann Jeter, 68, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday morning, May 15, 2018 at Rex Hospital. Born on June 21, 1949 in Clifton Forge, Virginia; she was one of eleven children to the late Gordon R. Potter, Sr. and Catherine Taylor Potter.
Patricia put everyone else first and loved with her whole heart. She said hello to everyone she saw and hugged and kissed her friends hello and goodbye.
She is remembered by her daughter: Shannon Serpa and husband Nick; her grandchildren: Allie and Reese Serpa; her siblings and their families: Jerry Potter, David Potter, Sr., Wayne Potter, Sr., Barbara Jean Potter Nicely, and Judy Powell; and many other family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her son: Al Jeter; her parents; and her siblings: Gordon Potter, Jr., Donald Potter, Larry Potter, Sr., Charles Potter and infant Charlene Potter.
Family will receive friends on Saturday, May 19th from 4-6 pm at Mitchell Funeral Home (7209 Glenwood Avenue).
Please take a moment to leave a message of condolence to the family.
I am still in shock learning of darling Patsy's passing. Im afraid too many years passed since I last was in her warm embrace, but the deep affection I felt for her never dimmed. Rest in peace dear friend, and receive your final reward. Heaven has indeed gained a beautiful angel.
I was so shocked to see this in the paper- younger than me and gone too soon! I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and she was so beautiful. I remember her bringing Shannon to visit-and I thought she was the most beautiful little girl ever! We lost touch over the years but I still remember what a good person she was. My condolences to her family and hope you will soon come to remember all the good times you were blessed to share with her.
I met Pat when I started working at AKC 13 years ago. It was a difficult job and I was struggling. Pat would always help me when I came to her with questions. She was one of the kindest most unselfish people I've ever met. Pat, you are much loved and will be missed. I know you are safe in the hands of God.
Looking back on my childhood, half of my memories were of me spending time with Al, Shannon and Pat. After my parents got divorced and my mother worked nights, Pat was the one who invited me into her home for countless sleepovers, trips to the pool on Ft. Bragg, and vacations with the family. My first experience with watching football live is when she took took me to watch Al tryout for a youth football team. Pat was a very genuine and selfless person that made no distinction between me being Al’s friend, and a son of her own. That’s how she made me feel, and anyone else that Al or Shannon accepted as friends. The one memory that stays with me was the time, around my 7th/8th grade year, I was jogging in front of my house to get ready for football tryouts. While jogging, Pat drove by, stopped, and asked me to come over. She told me my form was off, and I needed to stop leaning forward so far and be more upright. She said leaning will only slow me down. This was who Pat was. Always going out of her way to let you know she cared. I will miss her, and she will never be forgotten.
I just read the touching obituary of your loved one and it is with so much sadness that I offer my sympathy to you.
I knew Patsy as a little girl in Low Moor, VA where she lived as a child. She was always a pretty little blonde headed girl. My eldest sister was married to her brother, Gordon, Jr. , who we looked to as a brother.
God bless each of you through this trying time.
Pat spent her last day doing what she always did; taking care of my beautiful baby boy, making him laugh, making me laugh, making everyone around her feel loved and cared for. She walked him in his stroller for a long time, something she did whenever the weather was nice. At one point I heard them laughing so hard I started to laugh myself at my desk, just hearing them. She was constantly thinking about how she could help others, bring them something they needed, or talking about her beautiful granddaughters, Allie and Reece, and her daughter Shannon. The one thing you always knew was that Pat had your back and would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. I think that God got jealous and decided he needed her back.
I once had a conversation with Patsy about how much I loved pickled okra and how disappointed I was that you couldn't find it anywhere up north. The next time we came to visit she had two jars of pickled okra there waiting for me. She had gotten two jars because she wasn't sure which kind I liked more. It was a simple act but it really touched me. There was no reason for her to do that other than she just cared and wanted to brighten someones day. Truely a selfless act. Sometimes it's the little things that touch our hearts and stick with us for ever. She is a beautiful soul that will be sorely missed here on earth.
My heart is breaking. Patsy and I became friends in the 8th grade at Central High School back in 1963 I think. We then became neighbors in Clifton Forge. We had such good times together. I always loved going to her house. Her mom was always cooking something good and was so nice to me. She moved to NC after high school and we lost touch but did find each other on Facebook. I'm gonna miss her and her posts. I'm a firm believer that they are always with us. Look for the signs. Patsy you earned your reward. Heaven gained an angel. I will see you later girlfriend. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Draw your strength from the Lord to get you thru this. You'll see her again. God bless!
Love and thoughts for PAT'S family. She was a sweet, kind lady. | 2019-04-20T18:23:22 | https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/raleigh-nc/patricia-jeter-7851818 |

The governor also charged that the state’s public access counselor “exceeded its statutory authority” in a suit filed Nov. 13 against Attorney General Lisa Madigan and One Illinois.
The suit stems from a binding opinion issued in October by the public access counselor that Rauner must release 1,783 emails on his appointments to state boards, councils, and commissions in a Freedom of Information Act case.
In an ensuing complaint filed in Sangamon County Circuit Court in Springfield, Rauner’s suit called the binding opinion “erroneous” in that it “ignored well-established case law and misapplied the law to the facts.” The suit repeated the Rauner administration’s original position in the FOIA case that it was “unduly burdensome” to expect the Governor’s Office to process what could be thousands of emails on government appointments.
The administration argued during the FOIA process that it could not determine adequate search terms to narrow the emails involving the governor, his wife, Diana Rauner, and various staffers. When the attorney general’s public access counselor suggested that the term “appoint” be used to narrow the search, that produced the 1,783 emails found to be applicable to the FOIA request.
The attorney general and One Illinois beg to differ.
Madigan’s office will handle the case, but the legal issues seem clear. An initial email search found 44,536 “potentially responsive emails,” which indeed would be unduly burdensome for the government to handle. But simply by adding the search term “appoint” — a step the administration could and should have taken itself, without being prompted — that narrowed it to 1,783 emails, which is what the public access counselor said should be released in the binding opinion.
If any court were to rule that redacting fewer than 2,000 emails proved “unduly burdensome” to the government and would “hinder the operations of government bodies,” that would largely render FOIA meaningless as a tool for the public to reveal the inner workings of government.
A previous One Illinois FOIA case found that the governor’s staffers worked to defeat a bill in the General Assembly expanding public funding for abortion that Rauner backed as a candidate (and eventually signed) in an unsuccessful attempt to keep it off his desk.
Rauner filed the suit as governor a week after he lost his re-election battle to Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker. According to legal experts, if the suit is not decided by Pritzker’s inauguration, Jan. 14 — which would seem unlikely — control of the suit and the emails would revert to Pritzker. Rauner also continued to fight a suit with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 on whether he illegally declared an impasse in contract negotiations, as he recently requested a 60-day extension that would go beyond his term in office.
The original complaint was mailed to Madigan and One Illinois last week and received on Saturday. | 2019-04-22T02:03:51 | https://www.oneillinois.com/stories/2018/12/3/rauner-fights-foia-ruling-as-bad-public-policy |
Sutton is set to get its very own Women’s Institute with the launch of a new group that aims to attract like-minded women of all ages.
The Sutton-in-Ashfield WI is holding its first meeting today at 7pm at St John’s Methodist Church on Titchfield Avenue.
It is one of a new wave of WIs which have been started up by younger women across the country in recent years, offering members the chance to share interests, learn new skills and make friends.
The women starting the Sutton group hope that theirs will see the same success as other new WIs.
“There’s a lot of interest in crafts and baking but there’s been a lot of change over the past 100 years since the WI started,” said mum-of-two Rebecca Low, 33, from Sutton.
Though there are already WIs in Teversal, Kirkby and several in the Mansfield area, the town of Sutton has not had its own group until now.
Rebecca said that the response to the Facebook page she has set up has been ‘amazing’.
Many of more than 40 women who have shown an interest in joining the new group are in their thirties or forties - much younger than the stereotypical WI member.
They are all keen to get involved in traditional WI activities such as baking, crafts and floristry, as well as more modern activities like wine tasting and burlesque dancing.
Women of all ages are welcome to attend the meeting tonight, which will discuss how to become a member and where a committee will be formed.

America’s safety net is huge. It keeps more than 50 million people above the poverty line with a combination of benefits that support everything from health care and education to housing and food assistance. But thanks to complex eligibility rules, enrolling for even one of these benefits can be complicated. Just imagine trying to enroll for several benefits at the same time.
Not surprisingly, when it comes to government technology, integrated benefits enrollment is more a lofty goal than a reality. Yet it’s a challenge that Code for America (CfA), which matches cities with software developers to solve a problem, has decided to tackle.
CfA is working with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the philanthropic organization started by Facebook’s co-founder and his wife, as well as with the tech startup Nava, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the state of Michigan. CfA hopes to strip out the complexity -- and cost -- that gives online benefits enrollment such a bad name. The goal then is to design a simple way to enroll people who are eligible for both Medicaid and food stamps.
Jennifer Pahlka, founder and executive director of CfA, says the team is “using approaches that have been successful and are starting to have significant outcomes.” These approaches include a human-centric design, as opposed to one that is bureaucratic and rules-based, and an iterative development methodology, in which pieces of software code are designed quickly and collaboratively. The result is less expensive software that is usable right away, rather than having to wait for one massive system that is often delivered late, over budget and with several system bugs. The organization often relies on open source tools, which reduces the cost of its solutions.
These approaches were tested in California in 2015 when CfA revamped the state’s online enrollment for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The effort simplified a stodgy online application process that once took a person a teeth-gnashing 45 minutes to complete. CfA cut the time to less than 10 minutes. Just as it plans to do with Michigan, the goal was to keep things simple, says Pahlka. And it did. The new enrollment program sits on top of, rather than replaces, the underlying systems.
Once the integrated enrollment software has been tested and proven to work in Michigan, the hope is that other states will deploy it, making it a national model for online enrollment. Kevin Desouza, a professor of public affairs at Arizona State University, says CfA has taken the right approach in bringing together different groups from different political environments to get the kind of buy-in necessary to overcome possible governance and policy challenges that might arise. “Initiatives like this, where you have an external organization conducting the assessment and building the prototype, remove risk for the agencies,” he says.
But building an integrated enrollment solution isn’t easy. Getting past hurdles that include data privacy, security, control and access by multiple agencies can be challenging, says Desouza. He adds that most state IT infrastructure is not open source, which can add some friction to how the technology is used.
And on that quote, I want to take this time to let you know that this will be my last column. After this month, Tech Talk will no longer appear in this magazine. I’ve enjoyed breaking down important technology issues and what they mean for states and cities, and I want to thank you for reading along. I’m moving on to new endeavors within the company, where I’ll continue writing about the intersection of technology and government. | 2019-04-22T04:37:57 | https://www.governing.com/columns/tech-talk/gov-code-for-america-benefits-enrollment.html |

England rose to victory over bitter rivals India.
After four, long, gruelling Tests in Southampton, it was England who were victorious in the recent Test match against India.
The past year has not been the best for England, after a dip in form and a dismal Ashes series against Australia, things have not been looking too bright for Joe Root and his team.
However, the real test came when India came to town, looking to extend England's dodgy form.
England take a 3-1 lead into Friday's fifth Test at The Oval, which can not be overturned after an astounding victory at the Ageas Bowl, with duo Moeen Ali and Sam Curran making vital contributions on their return to the field.
And former England cricketer Nasser Hussain was quick to comment on the match, praising England heavily, and in particular the middle men.
Hussain pointed to performances from Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Jonny Bairstow as being crucial to the outcome of the series.
Speaking to Sky, the former England captain said: "I think this series was decided in the middle order.
"That middle order compared to the Indian middle order once you get past Kohli, was like chalk and cheese.
"Bairstow, when he plays in the middle order, is a very fine player as well. That is England's strength and is why they've not lost a series at home since 2014."
"I don't like to get too down when you lose or too high when you win," he added.
"We've been through this cycle, we win at home, we're brilliant at home, but if we were setting off for that Ashes series in Australia again now, would I have Moeen Ali as my frontline spinner? No.
"Would I have Chris Woakes as my main bowling all-rounder? No. Would I need some extra pace? Would I need a left-armer? There are still some questions to answer, but in these conditions, in this country, this is a very, very difficult side to beat."
"What a phenomenal cricketer he is. Yes, he's got work to do away from home, but in this country, he is a very talented man."
This praise will likely give England another huge boost as they go out for Test five knowing they have already got the win in the bag.
The England camp will be hoping they can kick on and continue to rack up some wins and get some consistency flowing in the team. | 2019-04-22T16:05:37 | https://www.givemesport.com/1383829-nasser-hussain-full-of-praise-for-england-after-securing-india-test-series |
